20% blog post

Over the past few months my 20% project has been kind of difficult because its such a big topic and its hard to cover what I wanted to cover in the few months. I wanted to try to help the staph infection rate in contact sports. Some disease that go through the contact sports are staph, ringworm, athletes foot, and any other type of  fungal diseases. The one product that stands out the most is Defense Soap. The wrestling world is switching to this product as more diseases are coming up. The 20% job is moving slower but im getting there and almost there. I am on my way to show coaches and programs what this soap can do and what it could save.

Raising min. Wages

I think we should raise minimum wages in the states for the better of families that are making less than 10 dollars a hour. NELP (national employment law project) said that people between 25-34 are affected by 24.1%, just because they are living on minimum wage. the NELP said that
"Raising the minimum wage is a key strategy for boosting consumer spending, and one of the only ways to do so that doesn’t worsen state or federal budget deficits. The scale of this spending can be significant. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, every $1.00 in wage increase for a minimum wage worker results in $3,500 in new consumer spending by his or her household over the following year." Los angles times said that "a family with three said they will fall under the poverty line if they are paid minimum wage." Main street stated "that there was still 11 states under 10 dollars a hour, which in a 3 year effect family's will fall under poverty line."

Arizona - $7.80

Colorado - $7.78

Florida - $7.79

Missouri - $7.35

Montana - $7.80

Ohio - $7.85

Oregon - $8.95

Rhode Island - $7.75

Vermont - $8.60

Washington - $9.19

New York passed an increase to $9 an hour, which goes into effect over 3 years

These states are some of the most populated state with the lowest minimum wages. There for I think we should help these states to raise minimum wages to help family's pass the poverty line.

Explaining post

Stocks are what you can buy to make money off of the product. Sometimes it doesn't always wok out and you can loose money quickly off of the product to. A dividend is were the company can pay the "borrowers" or the holders of a product to keep it safe for them and advertise it for them. Trades are something were you can trade it for money or you can trade it for another product. You can also sell the trade and still make money off of the product. Like if you sold a new candy bar to a company, for every candy bar sold you would still get money even though it is the others company. Usually this would last for two years until the agreement is made. However I don't know what a catalyst is out of the four words.

lemonade game

 In lemonade stand game the weather would change every day and so would the prices. When I made over 20 dollars for 25 cups it was 87 cents, for 10 lemons it was 72 cents, for 8 cups it was 69 cents, and for 100 ice cups it was 76 cent. the temperature was at 78 degrees. I put 5 lemons, 5cups of sugar, and 4 ice in the pitcher. it was 20 cents for each cup and at a ten day period I made 21.47 cents. after playing this game I came to find out that I would make a horrible salesman for lemonade. I would not want to own a lemonade stand.

December goal

Right now I'm in like the leading factor of how and who gets staph the most. It mostly leads through the sports that are a contact sport or when your working out a lot and don't stay very clean. Wrestling and weights are so far the leading activities in the staph infection. At the end of December I want to know more about the infection and what we could do to slow the disease/infection rate down. Most of it is cleaning but there could be a easier way.

20% summary post

In my 20% time I have been looking into ways to stop staff. The most sites and people I have been talking to is that it is mostly people and objects that contains staff. Sports are a big carrier of staff. The biggest ones are wrestling, football, and even basketball. Any kind of sport that contains a contact sport and is working up a sweat. This creates a germ that is very hard to see until the germ has got to you, and has formed into the visible form. I hope to talk to more people and look into more staff infection cases.

Black jack

In the short game of black jack there were people who was really "lucky" in the first time and all the time. There were people who was hit and miss, and then there were people who had no idea what they were doing. In black jack, I think I fell in the hit and miss section sometimes i won and sometimes I lost. It really got you thinking about what mr.kappatie had.

Portfolio

 In my portfolio I have seven business total. All of the stocks were trades so far. I have two trades that I'm mostly concerned about. The first one was in the top five biggest lost list. I looked into and the site I looked at said it was suppose to spike fast so I invested in  28 shares. I bought them for 34.68 dollars a piece. The market went up and I was waiting for the market to go up a little more to get that extra dollar out of it. After two days of waiting the stock went down super fast. So I am now in the whole for B&G FOODS. The second one was eBay. It always has stayed down since I bought it. I bought 19 shares for 51.68 a piece. I have yet to look into it more but so far it is losing me money.

Stock market

In the game we played the stock market, I remember Mr.Kapptie telling us what we had to once the doors opened. Once the doors did open you had to grab as much stuff on the floor as you possible could get. You and your other class mates were going against each other. After you gathered as much stuff as possible you put in your own little stack. After you sorted it out by individual candy the market would open at some kind of rate. You would want to try to sell as much candy as possible or try buying as much candy as possible it was up to you. The market would change through out the game good and bad. After the game was done you you would count up how much money you had some candy was worth value to.

20% project

My twenty percent project consist of wanting to help people with staff and see if there is a easy way of stopping it. Through this month of September i have searched the different ways that staff is getting into the body and how bad it can get. By the end of october i want to have talked to some people who maybe experienced staff inside the body and some doctors who have seen this nasty germ.
