I must say that over the past four years I really enjoyed the perks of freelance writing--the flexible schedule, pursuing my own interests, financial compensation, etc. However, more recently I came to the conclusion that I wasn’t making the impact on my community, friends and family that I had intended. I sometimes question whether or not I made an impact at all. God, the aforementioned emotional state and the fact that recent financial compensation has been somewhat lacking compels me to move on. For the few of you who offered positive comments both online and offline, I thank you. I will leave my website www.stockdissector.com online indefinitely as a monument (and resume) to my work as a freelance writer. Who knows I may return to writing one day.

If Nike were to disappear tomorrow, it would be missed—at least for a short while. Nike’s iconic swoosh symbol appears on a number of sports programs and commercials.

Carbonated soda demand volume has fallen steadily since 2004. Coca-Cola needed all the help it could get. However, it wasn’t a total loss for Coca-Cola nor is the concept totally dead. Let’s examine what happened and what the future holds for making cold soda beverages at home. |
