The Quinceañera is a celebration in Latin America that is very comparable to our Sweet 16 celebration, also know as the fiesta de quince años. The origination of the word comes from the feminine term of fifteen-year-old in Spanish. The overall celebration marks the transition from childhood to becoming a young woman. In earlier times this celebration was meant to be a teaching point for young women to learn how to cook, weave, and the art of becoming a mother. Depending on the family specifically, some can carry a religious tone, and some can be more traditional and casual.

Venezuela was one of the richest countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Ecuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: a polarized political environment, a politicized military, drug-related violence along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples.

It is 2030, and President Salvador Del Salvador was gunned down outside of the San Salvador Cathedral in the capitol of El Salvador, San Salvador. Why I chose to write "Salvador" five times in the previous sentence? I have no idea. President Salvador was an atheist, yet he attended church every Sunday morning, religiously. Maybe the crowd of beautiful women that attended mass drove President Salvador to his frequent church visits. Hated throughout the country, President Salvador wore a Groucho Fuzzy Nose and Glasses to disguise himself during his weekly church visits. However, his disguise did not fool Ramiro "El Payaso" Lopez, a Mara Salvatrucha member. President Salvador had lost $20 to Ramiro in a craps game, and never paid-up. He was
Cuba is being controlled by Spain and does not want to be. The United States of America steps in, only to help. We have docked our ship at the Havana Harbor, to be with the Cubans in their time of need. February 15, 1898 Spain exploded our ship. How did this happen? SPANISH TREACHERY, they betrayed us. 250 enlisted men and 2 Officers died immediately, 14 others that were injured, died within a few days, bringing the total to 266 dead men. The Spanish do not care who they hurt, or what happens to anyone. They have so much blood on their hands! They will kill every last one of us, if they get the chance. These are the same people who kill their own people by ignorant Bull Runs. They do not care if their own people die, what makes you think that
