...3337 A Piece of Cake By: Cupcake Brown Cupcake Brown. Her life started out as a tragic tale, but led to be a beautiful outcome. Cupcake’s life as we are told, begins at twelve years old when she finds her mom has died over night due to a seizure. After her mother died, her world got turned upside down. Her admiration for her mother was demonstrated in the book for the major respect and love she had for her. Along with this tragic death, she also found out that her dad, who had raised Cupcake his entire life, was not actually her father. Her mom had conceived her with a different man who had wanted nothing to do with her after she had the children, and never paid his child support. After court appointed custody, Cupcake and her brother were put in the care of her biological father. This was awful because her biological father was only in it for the life insurance check that both children would be receiving immediately, or so he thought. The one positive at this time in Cupcakes life was that that money would not be distributed until she turned the age of 18. Although Cupcake was aware of this, her biological father was not aware until he attempted to get the money and was declined the money. This infuriated and caused Mr. Burns (Cupcakes Biological father) to then drop them off with a random woman who was apparently a foster mother.

According to statistics 63 percent of consumers had purchases a specialty food in the last six months and it is projected that cupcake sales were to rise another 20 percent between 2009 and 2014.

Which one of the five competitive forces is the strongest? Prepare a five-forces analysis to support your answer. There are significant competitors in their marketplace when looking at numbers given by Yelp. However, they feel as if they only have one main competitor that has six locations, but they also have Sprinkles as a national chain to be opening an additional store in their market to go with the current location in Palo Alto. New entrants to the market I believe is the strongest competitive force as the initial investment into the industry is affordable compared to many other industries, and the statistics show an increase in buyers and spend over the next several years too.

...5 Reasons Why You Should Work For a Digital Health Company Finding a job is one of the most stressful things that we go through in our lives. But as big of a decision this is, most people have a limited and traditional view on this matter. They only see jobs in big corporate companies on Wall Street or in schools as professors, “traditional” jobs in a sense. Moving away from a traditional thinking, have you ever thought of alternative options? Joining a digital health company is one of the best alternatives out there right now. It might be a thought out of nowhere but working for a digital health company is an actual viable option for fresh grads and young adults. Why digital health companies over other options? Here are five good reasons why you should start working for digital health companies. 1. The industry has room for growth. The digital health industry is very young compared to the likes of real estate and banking. We only acquired the technology needed for this industry in recent times. The industry has been booming for the past couple of years and is now currently in the growth stage of an industry cycle. It is experiencing a large number of startups vying for space in the industry. These are good signs for the industry, but what’s in it for you? Think about it this way. Let’s say you wanted to join the banking industry. Banking has been existing for countless years. The industry is mature, and there’s barely any room for growth and innovation. More often...

...Jamie Fallon Professor M. Berkowitz WRT 201 14 September 2015 A perfect day for banana fish A perfect day for banana fish is about a girl who goes to visit her husband. Her husband was in the army and was released from a hospital. The girl’s name is Muriel and her husband’s name is Seymour. She goes to visit husband at a hotel. While she is at the hotel, her husband is out on the beach. Muriel had a phone conversation with her mother while she was in the hotel room in which her mother showed how worried she was about Muriel. Muriel’s mother begins to ask her if her husband has started acting weird yet. She also insists for her to come back home. Her mother even told her she shouldn’t get in a car while he is driving. Muriel’s mother explains that he has a psychiatrist and he says that Seymour can lose control of himself. After Muriel’s mother informed her of this, Muriel explains that there is a good psychiatrist at the hotel. Muriel’s mother questioned Seymour’s behavior alone on the beach. While Seymour was on the beach he was with a girl named Sybil. He told her that they would look for bananafish. He described bananafish as a fish that goes into a hole and eats many bananas. He says the fish get so fat that they can’t leave the hole and they die. He went in the water and made comments about how she looked in a bathing suit. Sybil was concerned about Seymour sitting next to a girl named Sharon. She told him not to sit next to her anymore. Seymour kissed...
