Jenjon’s Café, conveniently located near the Logan campus, has become a hit among teens that wants a good meal for a cheaper price offered at the popular and overcrowded Tapioca Express.

Jenjon’s Cafe, though small for a restaurant, seem to provide more room than Tapioca because barely anyone goes there. The service by these workers is speedy and given with a friendly smile.

When entering the café, they greet you and give you a menu where you can order from a variety of foods such as sandwiches, burgers, salads, and other favorites like hot wings. With that order, you can buy smoothies, coffee, milk tea and other drinks.

On our trip to Waikiki, my family and I were unaccompanied by extended family members who knew the area, so we were unaccustomed to the streets and places to go. We were walking along Kailana Road looking for a place to eat, and my dad began to make small talk with one of those seemingly-annoying people that pass out fliers. He gave my dad a flier that promised ten percent off breakfast, so we went to try the restaurant.

Due Divino is an Italian restaurant located on Ena Road, near the ABC convenience store. It’s a small little “hole-in-the-wall” restaurant next to a tattoo place. Not exactly what you’d envision for a “nice” breakfast, but my family and I were definitely willing to give it a try.

At James Logan High School, a school with a population of more than four thousand students, it seems like the one thing that they can agree on is the value and necessity of homework. Many students are able to agree that homework contains many fewer pros than cons, for a variety of reasons.

Twelfth grader Ian Phillips said “I believe homework is a waste of time because students aren’t forced to try as hard as they possibly can. Students see homework as a task rather than a learning opportunity and gain nothing from it.”

Candace Nelson founded Sprinkles Cupcakes. Her great grandmother had a restaurant in San Francisco and was renowned for her wonderful desserts during the 1930s. So as a result of this Candace and her husband decided to continue this and they opened their own cupcake bakery in Beverly Hills. The legacy of her great grandmother still continues.

Sprinkles, billed as the world's first cupcake bakery, has now spread to many other states and they have established a place in the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. Also, stores will be opening in many more places in the future.

From wikipedia:
Suleiman I (6 November 1494 – 5/6/7 September 1566) was the tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, from 1520 to his death in 1566. He is known in the West as Suleiman the Magnificent and in the East, as the Lawmaker, for his complete reconstruction of the Ottoman legal system. Suleiman became a prominent monarch of 16th century Europe, presiding over the apex of the Ottoman Empire's military, political and economic power. Suleiman personally led Ottoman armies to conquer the Christian strongholds of Belgrade, Rhodes, and most of Hungary before his conquests were checked at the Siege of Vienna in 1529. He annexed most of the Middle East in his conflict with the Persians and large swathes of North Africa as far west as Algeria. Under his rule, the Ottoman fleet dominated the seas from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
