December 14th, 2017 CEO Tati’s World: Sometimes “The Nice” Guy Gets Tired Too!
December 12th, 2017 CEO 
By Tatiauna Miller
I’m too damn nice. This is a flaw that I’m very aware of and I’m guilty of it on a daily basis. Some people are nice just to feel better about themselves or don’t know how to say no. I don’t have a problem with saying “no” and I also really don’t need to see someone struggle to appreciate my blessings. My problem is that I actually care, I really fucking care about some of these people. When I say I care, I care too much. I’ve been known to give something to someone that I really needed and will probably never get it back but I actually cared what would of happened to them if I said “No”.
The Mafia Chronicles: Kansas City Mobsters Blew Up Lefty’s Car, According To New Book
December 12th, 2017 CEO 
By Larry Henry
In his new book, former Las Vegas mobster Frank Cullotta points an accusatory finger at the people he says are responsible for blowing up Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal’s car.
The culprits: Kansas City mobsters.
Cullotta says Rosenthal had been on Kansas City crime boss Nick Civella’s “hit list” for taking public shots at casino regulators and for cozying up to federal investigators.
“Civella had heard that Lefty was getting friendly with some FBI agents and was afraid he might roll if the going got tough,” Cullotta writes in “The Rise and Fall of a ‘Casino’ Mobster: The Tony Spilotro Story Through a Hitman’s Eyes.”
The book, which Cullotta co-wrote with author Dennis N. Griffin, was published earlier this year.
Bruce Blackman: Moonlight Feels Right, Music, Boxing, Frank Sinatra, Life & More…
December 7th, 2017 CEO 
Exclusive Interview by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
“After that, other stations began adding it (Moonlight Feels Right), and it ended up on virtually every non-country radio station in the world selling 3M+ in the U.S. and 1.5M foreign.”—Bruce Blackman
The wind blew some luck in my direction (first line from the smash hit song Moonlight Feels Right written by singer/songwriter Bruce Blackman) and it sure did with me landing this exclusive interview with him for NewzBreaker. As an 8-year-old living on Miami Beach, AM radio being king, and a transistor radio a necessity, a song called “Moonlight Feels Right “hit the airwaves like a bullet. It played repeatedly in disc jockey rotations that summer, and to this day the song is still popular. Not only did it have catchy lyrics but it also had a solo by the late Bo Wagner. Wagner on marimba absolutely knocks your socks off.
In our interview, Bruce runs the rails and shows a great wit which if you read his posts on his FB page, you will see is a regular thing.
Ladies and Gentlemen, MR Bruce Blackman…
Tati’s World: Thanksgiving a Time For Reflection, Family & Road Trips
December 1st, 2017 CEO 
By Tatiauna Miller
Most people have some type of Thanksgiving tradition, whether it’s playing football with the neighborhood kids, catching a new flick at the cinema or laying around like a fat cat with stretchy pants after feasting. My Thanksgiving celebrations over the years usually starts with a road trip, to me it’s not really the holidays without a late night road trip. Those road trips are precious memories; its hours of stories, conversations, arguments and music. My love for music was born on the road. I remember annoying my parents by playing the same song over and over again until I became the official road trip DJ. Before iTunes and XM Radio, I had mix tapes that turned into 100s of CDs. I remember shuffling through my CDs like playing cards before each road trip.

By Kimberly Palermo
I write a lot about racism and discrimination in a continuous attempt to impress upon white people just how extreme racism is in America. Here’s a story that may take your understanding to the next level.
One of the most pathetic stories of 2017 is the Cold War Twitter fight between President Trump and the father of one of the UCLA basketball team players. The player (with two other teammates) was accused of stealing while in The People’s Republic of China. In such cases it is customary for the standing president to intervened. Trump purports to have done so and the player and his teammates were released.

The Beginning of the End – A Thanksgiving Day Celebration
November 27th, 2017 CEO 
By Kimberly Palermo
How Americans celebrate Thanksgiving today is a far cry from its historical origins and that’s probably a good thing. The truth about Thanksgiving has little to do with the white washed version we learn about in school or the Disney fairy tales we grew up watching.
So, what is the “truth” about Thanksgiving? Well, that’s the thing… it’s really hard to say, since experts tell us there is a very limited amount of tangible evidence available today.
A letter written by the pilgrim, Edward Winslow, has been kept. In it, Winslow speaks of the celebration held somewhere between early September and early November in 1621. But, interestingly, if you go online, you’ll find almost as many historical “explanations” for Thanksgiving, as there are websites on the internet, or at least it sure seems that way. So, what is the “truth” and why don’t we have the facts about it?
Gaming Industry Careers
November 26th, 2017 CEO 
There are many different types of jobs in the gaming industry that will suit people with a variety of skills and interests. Everyone from creatives to technology geeks can potentially establish a career in this industry as the job opportunities are so varied. Here are just some of the possible careers in the gaming industry.
Animator
The role of the animator is a creative one as they are responsible for how movement and behavior are portrayed in a game. They need to do this while taking into account the limitations of the platform while also using the game engine’s technology to their advantage. In addition to a creative streak, an animator needs to have a good understanding of the development process.
