A new innovating Web site called Coffitivity has surfaced into the cyber world. With an audience of over 8,000 people from around the world, it has surpassed the sleep assisting site, RainyMood. The founder of Coffitivity, Justin Kauszler, actually started out as an office worker and he found himself more productive brainstorming in a coffee shop, rather than in his muted office work space. As it turns out, studies have found that the noise of a typical coffee shop actually helped boost creativity. Quieter environments, such as Mr. Kauszler’s cubicle, are not desirable spaces for coming up with ideas, but the silence helps with concentrating on doing actual detailed work.

When was the last time you saw someone carry a gun into Starbucks? I was surprised at how many times guns have actually affected the wonderful customer experience at this widely known enterprise. Some of the Starbucks shops have already experienced armed robberies and there were even “two  recent incidents where guns carried in women’s purses have discharged accidentally.”

With the shooting sprees that have occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the Starbucks Coffee Company has finally decided to restrict the use of guns within the premises of their stores. However, there will not be any signs to explain the new policy and baristas will not required to ask customers with guns in their holsters to leave, so there isn’t going to be a surefire way to enforce their company’s new ban on guns.

Coffee, being one of the popular drinks on this planet, isn’t well known for it’s health contributions. This article shows us things from a different perspective and examines  the role coffee has on benefiting human beings. Only recently studies have been made that show how coffee has an effect on extending a person’s lifetime. Other studies have linked moderate coffee drinking with certain advantages: a reduction in the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, basal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, oral cancer and breast cancer recurrence.
