I am going to shadow the buisness of All About You. This place is known to be a beauty salon. I called Starr Keys and asked a few questions. As I did this, I was not nervous at all. The questions I asked what I should wear, what time to arrive, where the location was, if I was given a lunch break, and if she had any questions for me. Starr said she did not have any questions for me. From there, I did not have any questions. We said our farewells. I am pretty darn excited to shadow Starr because I have never been to this place. It should be fun and a great learning experience. I am very interested to see what it is like to work in this position.
Starr is a hairdresser. While I am there, I will see how she handles that stuff. As well as what she does in her free time when she isn't working with someone. Cosmetologist are needed throughout the world because that is where people go and get their hair done. Many women also go there to get their nails done, waxing, and tanning. It is also a place where people are able to socialize. The average salary is $22,760 to $37,680.

60 minutesss..parents reaction
What is black friday and when did it get its name, and what is Cyber Monday?What do you think about the video?
Black Friday is the day marking the beginning of busy shopping for Christmas. It is the day following Thanksgiving. Stores have crazy deals at crazy times.
Cyber Monday is the Monday following Black Friday. It is like Black Friday but online.
What do your parents think?
My parents sort of laughed through the whole thing. They thought it was pathetic and unfair. My dad said after only a few minutes that I didn't need to keep playing it because he knew what it was all about. I thought that was rather sad to be honest. After we finished, he said, "they are a bunch of criminals." I couldn't agree more. They thought it was unfair and were disgusted by it. My dad also said that the Pelosi girl is a slime ball while she was being interviewed.
What can you do about your opinion?
I think it is wrong because if normal citizens can do it, why can they? I don't understand why they have the right to break the law as congressmen. It is totally not fair. I can't really do anything about it but to forget about it. The reason why is because a former congressmen even tried writing a law. Hardly anyone showed up. If someone of that power has no say, then why should I have a say?
What did Martha Stewart do and what is insiders trade?
-She had insider information from a friend and she ended up going to prison for a couple of years. It had to do with a medical thing and she sold her stocks. The next day, the information became public. This is obviously illegal.

Journal for WEEK 8!!
Transaction #1...
VFC-- V.F. Corporation.
Basic Information: This company manufactures and designs with North Face, Wranglers, Riders, Lee, Timber Creek by Wrangler brands, Vans, JanSport, Eastpak, Kipling, Napaijrie, Lucy brands, and so on. This company also offers apparel, outdoor gear, skateboard inspired and surf inspired footwear, luggage, foot wear, handbags, and all sorts of accessories. I purchased this company because of the fact that it is involved with a lot of companies. With Christmas coming around, I figured a lot of people would start purchasing winter items that are found in these stores.
Type of transaction: This is a long-term investment because there is not a catalyst for every company that is involved.
52-week Range: Right now the 52-week range is $80.40 - $142.50. I bought 140 shares at $130.01. Obviously, the price was higher but I PREDICT that by the end of this month, the price per share will increase to $140.50. The reason being is now it is winter and people will be purchasing more winter items from these companies. Also, they will buy gifts (snowboards) for Christmas.
Dividend: This company offers a dividend of 2.10%.
Market Cap: 14.58B

Transaction #2...
KFT-- Krafts Food Inc. Common Stock
Basic Information: This company manufactures and markets packaged food products worldwide. They also offer a variety of beverages and food products. Oreo, Nabisco, and LU branded biscuits, and so on are part of this company. I choose to buy shares because a lot of people purchase goods from this company. The type of transaction is a long term investment because there isn't a catalyst.
52-week Range: The range is $29.80-36.30. I bought 400 shares at 34.77. The main reason why is because I PREDICT that the price will continually increase to at least 36.50 by December. Because, I know this sounds ridiculous, but people think the world is going to end soon so many people might buy lots of food to stock up. And then, Christmas and Thanksgiving is coming up where people will purchase more food.

Candy STOCK Blog
The first thing I noticed when I walked into the room, was the heat. Oh boy. I was warned to shed extra layers, but I was feeling mighty cold that day. The heat from the very beginning was tolerable, but I saw in the future I could possibly sweat. It was then I noticed candy on the floor. All problems vanished. When we were told to go, my mateys and I collected the most candy out of all the groups. Mission accomplished. After sitting for a few minutes, thinking to myselft, I noticed the noise level gradually increasing.
I didn't know what to do. People started to get up and move around. I didn't understand what was going on so I just sat there longer. Then I noticed the movies playing on the wall. It was then I decided that it might be benificial for me to watch them since nobody else was. After watching the short clips playing over and over and over and over again, I decided that it wasn't necassary. I asked a group member what we were doing and he said that we are treating this like a stock market. Duhhh, I felt retarded for not even thinking of that. I then tried to help, but our groups strategy was to keep everything we had knowing that we had the most of all the candy. I watched everybody run around. The temperature of the room kept increasing. It was awful. I learned that i am not gifted to handle these situations.

Game Standards::
3.2:: Students formulate solutions through economic problems.
-Right now I am on level 13 and I am stuck. I have no more land left to build more buildings. Right now, I need more buildings because I need items to hire janitors and rental agents. At the time, I need six janitors and two rental agents. My solution to this is to keep making money off of the contracts/buildings I have now, and to buy more land. With that, I can build more of the needed buildings in order to purchase items to hire janitors and rental agents.
3.1:: Students explain how different economic systems are organized for production, distributions, and consumptions of goods and services.
-I have mostly made a lot of apartments and other homes for this game. This is good because people need a place to live. With that, I get paid for the rental money which I can use to purchase more homes and/or other businesses. I have also purchased a lot of windmills. Windmills take energy and basically turns it into money. Again, with that money I can produce more. I just bought more land which will allow me to produce more buildings. With these buildings, people will purchase the products which give me more items. The cycle goes on.
3.4:: Students demonstrate an understanding of economic principles that influence individual financial planning.
- There are certain task that you have to accomplish in order to get farther in the game. Being the game rebel that I am, I choose to go the way I thought would be most beneficial. It isn't working out so far right now. I built a bunch of apartments/homes to gain specific items and as a faster way to gain little amounts of money more often. Because I did this so much, I forgot to accomplish the more important tasks. The downside to that is I am now behind because I have a group of people I need to hire. With this, I need to come up with a more organized plan in order to get what I need. My plan is too categorize the things I need and spend only so much. Money is not really a big concern for me right now.
4.3::Students evaluate the impact of technology and how it has shaped history and influence in modern world.
-It is important to update all of the buildings. If this is done, then more money/experience points will be made. I have windmills, a lot of windmills. Windmills provide me energy which gives me more money. Other technology could be my corporate centers. These bring a lot of money into my city and technology is used inside those buildings because it is a business center.
4.2::Students analyze current event to better understand the world in which they live.
-I always keep track of the new ventures because it helps me create a better city. If it wasn't for the new ventures, I would probably just purchase random buildings that may not even help down the road. Having friends helps because they help me by telling me what could be improved. The mystery gifts helped me because it gave me extra money. The money can be used to update buildings, buy more plants/parks, and so on.
4.4::Students explain how past events impact the present and the future.
::In the beginning, I bought a lot of random things that I didn't really need at the time. This affects me now because now I actually need other buildings in order to build up and have more things. It also helps me because now because after time, the money all adds up and helps me out. With that money, I could buy land.
5.1::Students incorporate charts, maps and graphs, to answer questions dealing with people, places, events, or environment.
-Charts on this game that help with people are the charts with the items needed in order to hire them. The chart/tabs on the left side of the screen helps me accomplish tasks I need to gain more points in the game. The charts/tabs on the top of the screen helps me keep track of the money I'm making and game points I am making. This is helpful because then I can determine if I have enough money to buy certain products. Also, with the game points, they help me keep track of when I will get a level up. That is good to keep track of because then I will know when I will get new items.
5.3::Students demonstrate an ability to organize and process information about people, places, and environment.
-I put all my three-story and two-flat houses in one area. I also put all my small office buildings together in another area. The reason for this is because it makes it easier for people in the game to find where they need to go. Also, it helps me when I need to update things. If most of my buildings are organized, then it helps me update stuff faster. My windmills are the only thing not organized. I believe this is actually helpful because it saves me land. When I purchase building, sometimes you have to put them in areas that leave small random spots. With those spots, I put in more windmills.
