A Night to Remember
With an endless supply of money, the one thing left to do is throw the most memorable and extravagant party ever. There would be no legitimate or specific occasion celebrated, it would be simply described as a celebration of life. The event would take place on the rooftop of the most luxurious resort found in Saint-Tropez, France. The resort will be decorated in festive yet classy lights that illuminate the crowd. First class tickets for flights will be provided along with invitations. An all expense paid trip is provided to all guests attending. Who would not want to be invited to the party of the century? The guest list is impeccable; with all the hottest “A List” celebrities to top it off. Everyone I have ever met throughout my entire life is invited. Only the highest level of entertainment is acceptable. Famous musicians including Justin Bieber, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Drake and Avicii, will perform. As a random hostess present to me and the lucky females attending the swaray, all the suitable and attractive young men must participate in a fashion show judged by myself and a best friend. As if this was not enough, the most decadent desserts and dishes will be provided along the poolside. Formal dress is required but bikinis and bathing suits are imperative to bring along as well. Unlimited loads of the best alcohol imported from around the world will be available to all party-goers. Upon leaving the two day long party, guests will take home gift “baskets” including flat screen televisions and a Bugatti, in the color of their choice. This party will go on throughout history as the most unforgettable nights experienced by those lucky enough to witness.

On January 19, 2014, a woman named Zakieya Latrice Avery was charged with first degree murder and attempted first degree murder. In Germantown, Maryland, “Montgomery County police responded to Avery's home Friday morning following a neighbor's 911 call.” Avery claimed to have witness the devil within her two children. The deranged woman stabbed her two children to death. The children were merely infants, ages one year old and two years old. The Maryland woman truly believed a satanic being and “evil spirits” resided in her young children. She also wounded her two other children by stabbing them with the same violent behavior. According to Avery, she needed to “[conduct] an exorcism.” Avery is currently separated from the father of her deceased children. The father has now taken full custody of the remaining wounded children. Both five and eight year old children spent Sunday hospitalized, in order to be restored back to health. Monifa Denise Sanford, a twenty-one year old woman who resided with Avery and her children, was also arrested and charged for the same attempts. Multiple knives were used in the homicide. One weapon used to murder the children, was found lying next to a car parked outside of the residency. The other two were placed around the house, later on found by police officials. Zakieya Latrice Avery and Monifa Denise Sanford have committed a heinous and despicable crime that will be sought out to in court.

The International Consumer Electronics Show, also known as CES, has recently presented multiple new and innovative technology and equipment. Every year new technology is showcased in the convention as a preview to future advancements. It is the first time the technology is release for the public to view, test and sample. An example of the latest gear would be “The June Wristband”.
The June wristband is a fashionable piece of jewelry that also serves a wider purpose. At first glance, it seems to be a standard and ordinary bracelet that would be found garnished on most women’s arms. This bracelet is also scientific and logical. The June wristband measures the percentage of sun exposure and alerts the wearer of the dangerous UV rays. At certain temperatures it also notifies the person “to apply sunscreen and when it’s time to get out of the sun,” The Netatmo company, which specializes in further advancement of weather technology, invented this bracelet. The company seems to be “getting even more personal about the weather” by accessing your personal information. An app works along with the bracelet; within the app, all personal information about your skin type must be supplied. This app will accurately notify the bracelet and perfect its performance. The June wristband will be launched in the spring, available for $100.00 along with multi-colored optional choices.

The mob, better known as The American Mafia, is an organized international body of “gangsters” that specialize in dangerous criminal activity. The mafia came about and prospered mostly during the 1920’s. Although different ethnic groups practiced organized crime, the American Mafia was primarily made up of immigrated Italian Americans and Sicilians. “By the early 1900's every large city in the United States had its own mafia sanction.” The most popular corruptions took place in New York and Chicago. Some of the roaring 20’s prominent mobsters included the notorious Al “Scarface” Capone, Charlie “Lucky” Luciano, and John Gotti. The mob engaged in illegal and illicit activity that included: drug-trafficking, prostitution and bootlegging.
The American Mafia played a key role in the Prohibition and the Prohibition era. “[The] Prohibition era is probably the most legendary era in gangster history.” The eighteenth amendment initiated the Prohibition, which was the law that made the consumption, manufacture and sale of alcohol banned and utterly illegal. Liquor was a high demand within the population; its sudden outlaw caused the mob to become involved in bootleg racketeering. The mafia’s reputation and assets “flourished” since they advanced in the bootlegging and smuggling alcoholic beverages. They thrived on the profit of these illegal activities, which caused them to become widely renowned and wealthy. The American Mafia was the main influence and authority during the Prohibition era, within the 1920’s.
