Many large cities have only one Italian-American mafia family, but some larger cities like New York City have more. The American mafia is divided into different groups or "families". The Italian mafia in the United States is actually called La Cosa Nostra which in Italian language means "This thing of ours" or "Our thing". The first Italian mafia was in New Orleans in Louisiana but soon they were in many cities across the country. The Italian-American mafia began at the time when many Italians moved to the United States in the 1800s. This group was founded by Felice Maniero, but has now been dismantled.

Calabria - The Calabrian mafia (really called the 'Ndrangheta ) are another mafia group in Italy.Selling drugs is frowned upon within the Mafia or La Cosa Nostra as being convicted of the intent to sell is a high prison sentence which will increase the risk of a member of the Mafia/Cosa Nostra to turn a 'rat.' The mafia is still around here and they make a great deal of money. Sicily - The mafia in Italy was started in the island of Sicily.They work in the areas of Calabria, Sicily, Naples and Apulia which are all areas in the South of Italy. The mafia in Italy have been around for hundreds of years.

'Mahias' is an Arab word meaning 'bold man', and this is believed to be incorporated into the modern term mafia, which also suggests the bold and argumentative nature of its constituents.Ī boss in the Sicilian mafia had a list of ten rules. Many people also believe that Arabic affected the word 'mafia' during the period of Arab control of Sicily, after the fall of the Roman Empire in 846 AD. ![]() It meant "boldness, ambition, pride", and since none of these were considered appropriate for a woman it is the name of a witch. The first written use of the word mafia has it being said on a list of rebels against the catholic church. They make billions of dollars a year from such crimes as making and selling illegal drugs, money laundering, from stealing, gambling and prostitution.

Sweet is that rare artist who seems directly and intimately knowable through his work, causing his audience to feel a close bond with him-to put them on what they think of as a first-name basis. Matthew Gordon-Banks (born 21 June 1961) is a British former Conservative Party politician who was elected in 1992 as the Member of Parliament for Southport, but lost his seat in 1997. A sophisticated aural architect, Sweet absorbed the work of '60s rock's three "Bs"-the Beach Boys, Beatles and Byrds, along with '70s avatars Neil Young and Big Star-with such a deep understanding of the spirit as well as the craft behind the music of the old masters that he was able to use these timeless palates in a fresh, highly personal way. ![]() While so many of his contemporaries disdained rock & roll's past, Sweet has deftly channeled it, picking up where his inspirations from previous decades had left off. During a decade when cynicism, overstatement, and mean-spiritedness ruled, Sweet found a sizable audience by expressing himself with unselfconsciousness, subtlety, penetrating honesty and the sheer joy of constructing something cool. From there, it was just a few centuries’ leap to ATMs.Of the significant bands and artists to emerge in the '90s, Lincoln, Nebraska-born Sweet is the odd man out.

Religion’s role in the history of banking doesn’t stop at its physical structures. As an added perk, thieves were less likely to steal from a temple for fear of divine punishment. Priests were also literate and able to maintain and store records. Temples were also the safest option because there was always a trustworthy person there to keep watch. Every major city already had one in a central location. Even the legendary Acropolis, a temple of Athena still present today, stored money. There’s historical evidence that temples handled currency in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and, of course, Rome. ![]() In fact, the word temple comes from the phrase meaning “treasure houses” and the words money and mint come from the ancient Roman goddess Juno Moneta, whose temple served both religious and financial purposes. People could go to a temple to validate that their coins were legitimate, and people with enough wealth to consider worth storing could make deposits, exchanges, and loans there. The archaeologist who led the discovery of a lost Sumerian temple in the ancient city of Girsu has said he was accused by disbelieving peers of making it up and wasting funding. When the world economy was based on bartering, cows didn’t require a bovine bank, but as governments and wealthier citizens evolved and minted currency, a more structured solution was called for.īefore buildings formally existed for the sole purpose of banking, gold and coins were stored and sometimes even minted out of temples.
