Omertà/oʊˈmɛərtə/ (Italian pronunciation:[omerˈta]) is a code of honor that places importance on silence, non-cooperation with authorities, and non-interference in the illegal actions of others. It originated and remains common in Corsica, Sardinia and Southern Italy, where the Sicilian Mafia and Mafia-type criminal organizations such as the 'Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita, and Camorra are strong.
Omertà implies "...the categorical prohibition of cooperation with state authorities or reliance on its services, even when one has been victim of a crime." A person should absolutely avoid interfering in the business of others and should not inform the authorities of a crime under any circumstances (though if justified he may personally avenge a physical attack on himself or on his family by vendetta, literally a taking of revenge, a feud). Even if somebody is convicted of a crime he has not committed, he is supposed to serve the sentence without giving the police any information about the real criminal, even if that criminal has nothing to do with the Mafia. Within Mafia culture, breaking omertà is punishable by death.
After just being discharged from the United States Marines, Paul Provenzano returns to his home in Brooklyn, where he attempts to take over the local 'chapter' of the Mafia. The three leaders, whom Paulie has known all his life, were meeting in a local bakery, a mob-owned business. The leader declared he would not be popular if he made a "made man" out of a mutant. Paulie explains he was taking over. At first they were amused by his declarations, then they shoot him. Paulie easily resists their bullets, then brutally injures the men.
Jean Grey surprises and lectures him on the seeming waste of using his powers to take over the local mob. Paulie correctly guesses that she is here to recruit him into the X-Men and agrees to join, if only to see her in her costume. Jean's intention is to recruit Paulie for a mission to Genosha, to rescue the rest of the X-Men from Magneto.
The third season of the serialcrime-thriller television series Millennium commenced airing in the United States on October 2, 1998, and concluded on May 21, 1999 after airing twenty-two episodes. It tells the story of retired FBI Agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen). Black had previously worked for a private investigative organization, the Millennium Group, but left after the Group unleashed a virus that resulted in the death of Black's wife. Now working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation with agent Emma Hollis (Klea Scott), Black seeks to discredit and expose the Group for their sinister motives.
The season saw the introduction of a new lead character in Hollis. Scott faced difficulty in securing the role, as Fox executives had desired a white actress for the part instead; Scott's agent fought for her to be given an audition, which proved successful. The season also brought in two new executive producers—Michael Duggan and Chip Johannessen, who had previously written episodes in earlier seasons.
Amarte a ti no es lo mejor, lo tengo claro. Habiendo tantas cosas por hacer, menos traumáticas. Como hallarle figuras a las nubes, o como ir al cine o no hacer nada. Amarte a ti no es lo mejor, pero me gusta. Quizás estoy jugando como siempre al masoquista. En ves de distraerme con el fútbol, o con el Internet como hacen todos. Amarte a ti no es lo mejor, pero es perfecto, para encontrarle algún sentido a esta rutina, de ser por siempre solo un ciudadano, solo uno mas. Amarte a ti me hace sufrir, que buena suerte. Para acordarme de que existo y de que siento. Para tener en que pensar todas las noches, para vivir. Amarte a ti es un veneno que da vida. Es una antorcha que se enciende si se apaga. Es lo sublime junto con lo idiota. Es lo que siento y a quién le importa. Amarte a ti es la verdad más mentirosa. Es lo mejor de lo peor que me ha pasado. Es la ruleta rusa por un beso, es lo de siempre improvisado. Amarte a ti es un error dice un amigo, que cree que ser feliz es estar libre, y se pierde del matiz que da lo incierto, amarte a ti. Es la embajada de un instante en mi cerebro. Es también haberte odiado un par de veces. Amarte a ti es un absurdo y lo sabemos,
