...1. Target Market (Frozen Yogurt) 2. Early Mover (Pinkberry) 3. Early Mover (Yogurtland) 4. Late Mover (Start Up Independent Frozen Yogurt Stores) 5. Late Mover (Robot Frozen Yogurt Kiosk) Frozen yogurt was first introduced in the 1970’s. While frozen yogurt gained popularity with the help of TCBY, it soon lost its prominence in the 1980’s. With the invention of live probiotic powder based mixes by John Wudel, Pinkberry came in to the frozen yogurt market with it’s tart like flavor in 2005. Starting with one store in California, Pinkberry launched additional stores in California and New York within a year. In 2007, Pinkberry went nationwide to sweep the market showing that Pinkberry is the lion consuming the gazelle, the frozen yogurt market. Following Pinkberry’s move, Yogurtland entered the frozen yogurt market with a different offer in 2006. At a less expensive price point compared to Pinkberry, Yogurtland offered a self serve format. Pinkberry had offered pricing by serving size small, medium, and large. Yogurtland also developed 150 different and customized flavors to differentiate themselves. By 2012, Yogurtland had over 200 locations globally. Following Pinkberry, Yogurtland acted as a hyena in the frozen yogurt market. Watching Pinkberry and Yogurtland’s success, independent frozen yogurt stores emerged in the market. Mom and pop and start-ups quickly flooded the market throughout the nation. These stores were the vultures trying to pick at the remaining frozen...

...CRLA Journal 3 Today I am going to write on an issue that is popping up in most of the sessions. From my one month experience I have observed and felt that most of the students come with large number of questions in 25 minute appointment. It becomes really difficult for me to go through all the questions all at once from different areas. Sometimes they did not even get the concept and try to jump onto another without practising it or answering my few questions. It’s like they are in hurry because of the shortage of time and just wants to know little bit about every problem and get over it. Another thing is sometimes students they just don’t stop asking questions when the 25 minutes get over even after telling them in a polite manner that I have another appointment just after that or our time is up. My recommendation to students is always to book another 25 minute appointment and not to get confused between the topics by just running over and mugging them up as that will not help them in any way, because they will forget soon. Some of the students they just don’t listen and always try to ask questions in a tricky way which may help them in figuring out the answer. In spite of the fact, that I have told them that we are not allowed to give you answers as it’s not in our policy. I would like to ask you if you can tell me some techniques to handle this kind of problems which can help me as well as the...

...Pill Popping Problem November 1, 2012 Abstract The following essay is an argument to try to persuade readers that the dispensing and prescribing of opiate medication for all problems relating to pain is detrimental to the health of patients. I have included a personal story and data relating to the overprescribing of pain medication. The sources I have cited include the New York Times, Kaiser Health News, Stop Drugged Driving.org and Daily Mail, UK. When I looked into the glassy tear-filled eyes of my dear friend Charlotte, I saw pain. She had just spent the night in the Clark County Detention Center. As she explained to me what had happened to bring her there, driving under the influence of narcotics, I saw the pain turn to anguish. She was embarrassed from what she had done to herself. She was fighting withdrawal from the Lortab that her doctor had prescribed for her. I was happy that I could help her get out of jail that morning, but that was not the end of her pain and suffering. It was just the beginning. The medication that was supposed to help her neck pain feel better had wound up causing her more suffering and problems than she bargained for. This is an all too common problem seen in the United States. The prescribing of opiate medications for complaints of simple pain is causing addiction and health problems and is detrimental to the health of patients. My friend Charlotte had fallen victim to an addiction to pain killers propagated by easy...

...Today the ConAgra Company sells more popcorn in movie theaters than any other brand. Orville Redenbacher popcorn is the number one selling popcorn in America. The popcorn that Orville made when he was young is still sold today as Orville Redenbacher's gourmet popping corn. Also Orville's smart pop popcorn is still sold today because of both of their popularity is the reason that they are number one in the USA. In the years after Orville's death the world was consuming sixteen billion quarts of popped corn every year. That amount would have been fifty one quarts per each person per year. The amount of popcorn sold creates a great target market for Orville Redenbacher's gourmet popping corn providing it with a great amount of revenue for the Orville Redenbacher's gourmet popping corn. In 2000 the Orville Redenbacher popcorn goes into the twenty first century. Also the Orville Redenbacher popping corn survives the Y2K bug and all the computers making the popcorn kept on running no explosions at...

...Which pop Corn Pops the Best? Project Design Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine which bran of popcorn will pop the best, leaving the fewest un-popped kernels. Experimental design: Pop 100 kernels from 3 different brands of popcorn one brand at a time. Count the number of popped kernels for each brand. Repeat this process for each brand 3 times. Average the number of kernels popped for each brand to determine which brand pops the best. Variables: Dependent - amount of kernels popped. Independent – the product brand/manufacturer will vary with each test group. Controlled – cooking method, time and temperature will be regulated for each test group. Threats to internal validity: Freshness of popcorn kernels could impact ability to pop. In order to reduce this threat, the product dates should be similar. Each brand should have a manufacturing date within 3 days of each other. Hypothesis: All popcorn brands will pop the same, leaving an equal number of un-popped kernels. A1. Introduction Popcorn has been around for hundreds of years. The corn (maize) was introduced to the English settlers by the native Indians in 16th century (“Popcorn”, 2012). When heated, popcorn expends from a hard kernel into a puffed soft substance. Because popcorn is relatively cheap to purchase and make, popcorn is often seen in many areas such as at fairs, carnivals and is practically synonymous with at the movies. There is over one billion pounds...

... • Care must be taken not to touch the heated flask in this experiment. • Eating food in the lab is not permitted. 1. Select 20 kernels of popcorn. Place each kernel in a well of a well plate. If more than one variety is available, also note the brand used. Additional kernels are used in case samples are burned or scorched. 2. Determine the mass of each kernel, and record the mass in your data table. 3. Using a few unweighed kernels, practice popping them. A standard buret clamp makes a convenient handle for the flask. Heat the flask gently and keep the popcorn kernel in constant motion. As soon as the kernel pops, invert the flask and let the popped kernel fall onto the lab table. If it sticks, a stirring rod may be used to dislodge it. 4. When you are satisfied with your technique, begin popping the weighed samples. Return each popped kernel to its position in the well plate. Continue until you have 15 popped kernels that are not burned or scorched. 5. Determine the mass of each kernel after popping. Record this mass in your data table. Calculations: 1. Determine the mass lost by each kernel of...

...CREATIVE DANCE History of Creative Dance Creative dance is perceived differently by different sectors of the education system. In many provinces, creative dance is part of the physical education curriculum. More recently, two provinces— British Columbia and Saskatchewan— have considered placing dance under the rubric of arts education. The aspect of creative dance that is emphasized reflects the position creative dance is assigned in the curriculum. When in the physical education curriculum, creative dance lessons typically focus on development of the motor skills involved, with little concern for the experience’s aesthetic potential. In arts education, the primary focus is creative dance’s aesthetic potential. Advocates view creative dance not only as having potential for developing motor skills or aesthetic sensibility, but as a means to improve students’ self-concept and as a valuable component of an integrated curriculum. Upon closer scrutiny, however, these different ways of justifying creative dance may prove contradictory. “Creative dance” is a particular form of dance. This form is typically taught in elementary schools because unlike other dance forms, it does not require years of training. Basically, creative dance involves the use of movement elements to express thoughts and feelings. Dimondstein (1974) expands on this definition when she considers dance to be “the interpretation of a child’s ideas, feelings, and sensory impressions expressed symbolically in movement...

...with drama. The handle of the jack in the box is the stirring of the drama started by Tituba by confessing to being a witch. “No, no, don’t hang Tituba! I tell him I don’t desire to work for him, sir”- Tituba (847). By Tituba confessing to being a witch it is stirring the handle to a whole mess they won’t expect later. The only reason she confesses to being a witch is because Putnam wants to hang her for not confessing. When she confessed it triggered something in Abigail to start a whole parade of blaming people. Tituba is the conductor to spinning the handle of the jack in the box. When the handle is done being spun and toy jack pops out of the small wooden box spreading fear through young kids. As like the jack head popping out Abigail and the girls spread fear through Salem. Abigail is a very dauntless young women who is not afraid to lie to get her way. Abigail and her minions (girls) goal was to get Elizabeth Proctor arrested for being a witch and hanged to death because Abigail was in love with Elizabeth’s husband John. “Abigail were stabbed tonight; a needle were stuck into her belly-” - Hale (860). By Abigail being “stabbed” in the belly with a needle it gave her extreme power in the village that terrified people like the jack head. When the jack comes out of the box it POPS very loudly the pop represents the hanging of off the people being falsely accused by Abigail and...

...Biblical accounts of “corn” stored in the pyramids of Egypt are misunderstood. The “corn” from the bible was probably barley. The mistake comes from a changed use of the word “corn” was wheat and in Scotland and Ireland the word referred to oats. Since maize was the common American “corn”, it took that name—and keeps it today. It is believed the first use of wild and early cultivated corn was popping. The oldest ears of popcorn ever found were discovered in the Bat Cave of west central New Mexico in 1948 and 1950. Ranging from smaller than a penny to about 2 inches, the oldest Bat Cave ears are about 4,000 years old. Popcorn was integral to early 16th century Aztec Indian ceremonies. Bernardino de Sahagun writes: “And also a number of young women dance, having so vowed, a popcorn dance .As thick as tassels of maize were their popcorn garlands. And these they placed upon ( the girls ) heads”. In 1519, Cortes got his first sight of popcorn when he invaded Mexico and came into with the Aztecs. Popcorn was an important food for the Aztec Indians, who also used popcorn as decoration for ceremonial headdresses, necklaces and ornaments on statues of their gods, including Tlaloc, the god of rain and fertility. An early Spanish account of a ceremony honoring the Aztec gods who watched over fishermen reads: “They scattered before him parched corn, called momochitl, a kind of corn which burst when parched and discloses its contents and makes its look like a very white flower;...

...| The Addiction of America | The Abuse of Prescription Drugs in the United States | Sean Barnes | Western Governors University | 12/19/2014 | The abuse of prescription drugs in the United States has reached epidemic proportions and continues to get worse. Most people, however, do not realize how big the problem really is. It continues to get worse every year and it demands our attention. In 2011, just three short years ago, an estimated 52 million people in the United States over the age of 12 had used prescription drugs for a non-medical reason (National survey on drug use, 2011). The most commonly abused prescription drugs are pain relievers. Why are people abusing these drugs and where do they get them? This paper will attempt to answer those questions as well as pose a possible solution on how it can be corrected. Analyzing the Problem To begin, we must first take a look at why so many American citizens are abusing prescription drugs. Most will probably tell us that they became addicted to pain relievers after some sort of horrible accident or surgery. They were prescribed these medications by their Primary Care Provider and told to take them in the correct manner, which are usually one or two tablets/pills every four to six hours apart, as needed for pain. What they were probably not told by their Primary Care Provider is that they should not take them sooner than directed, nor should they take them whenever they are not experiencing pain. The directions on...

...Conspiracy Theories of September 11th There is a lot of speculation on who was actually behind what happened on September 11, 2001. On this date one of America's greatest tragedies occurred. In this tragedy, around three thousand people were killed, with a total of six thousand injured. On this day four planes were hijacked; two of them hit the Twin towers in New York city, one hit the Pentagon in Arlington Virginia just outside Washington D.C., and a fourth one crashed in Pennsylvania, the intended destination of that plane is unknown. What happened on this day completely changed the world forever. (September11.archive.org.) The people who have been said to be responsible was a terrorist group called Al-Qaeda. The United States citizens have been told to believe that there were 19 hijackers from Al-Qaeda who hijacked four United States commercial jets, and purposefully crashed them into The Twin Towers, and The Pentagon. After the attack happened, the United States responded with launching “The War on Terror” and invaded Afghanistan to eliminate the Al-Qaeda. The leader in charge of the attack was Osama Bin Ladin. This war is still going on to this day, and we still have not found Osama Bin Ladin. ("Formal Analysis, September 11 2001.")

Let it get to a large size and ringing a bell, poke the needle into the balloon, causing it to burst abruptly. Repeat this 20 times. On the twenty first time, blow the balloon up, and ring the bell. The dog or cat should show signs of flinching in anticipation of the long time. The ringing of the bell, or the conditioned stimulus (CS), evokes the fear, or conditioned response (CR). Results and Discussion The Controlled Stimulus is the balloon popping. The Conditioned Response is fear which is...

...Internal Medicine showed that multivitamins use doesn’t necessarily capable of providing the right amount of nutrients for prenatal uses. Some would say it constitute almost a complete repertoire of nutrients available for fetal development however, scientific evidence have not shown that the usual vitamin supplements are of benefit to either the mother or her fetus and the potential is quite meager. However, the use of multivitamin is now so common among women all around the globe hence resulting to many pregnant mothers resort to the supplements as a mean to a healthy lifestyle. Many are popping pills without taking heed of the danger and side effects it could pose to the unborn baby. While it can be beneficial at times for the baby, taking too much of multivitamins that you don’t need could also make you sick. Many would say that a healthy lifestyle is based on what you eat and popping a few multivitamins or any everyday supplement would contribute to a balanced and healthy diet. Well this seems to be particularly true as most of the prescribed supplements do contain the right amount of nutrient that are supposed for fetal development and had been suggested by many obstetrics worldwide. For example, prenatal vitamins are high in folic acid and it helps brain development in fetus. A fetus takes a lot of vital nutrients from your body when you're pregnant and the consumption of the right supplement could help you to nurture the right kind of nutrient to the baby. Furthermore...
