Hour of Code~Flappy Bird

I created my own Flappy Bird game on code.org. For this activity, I spent about 15 minutes in order to complete the game. I finished the whole game, including levels 1 through 10. Lastly, the website had the application that was needed in order to make/play this game.

The Apprentice Season 2

My favorite episode thus far in Season 2 is episode 8, when the two teams had to make an ad for the New York Police Department. 

Task Description: 

  To create a recruiting ad for the NYPD with with Donny Deutsch's advertising firm.  

Team Leader's: 

Mosaic Leader~ Andy

Apex Leader~ Elizabeth

Reward for the winners:

The winning team got to watch their ad play on a large billboard in Time Square.

Who was taken to the board room:

There was no final board room for team Apex. Trump fired someone in front of the whole team instead of the group of 3 who go back into the board room from the losing team.

Who was fired and why?:

Apex's team leader, Elizabeth was fired in the board room. She was fired because she was very indecisive and allowing her teammates to easily change her mind. Also she was a poor leader for her team.

Why I liked the episode:

I liked this episode because watching them create an ad was very interesting. The viewers got to see the "behind the scenes" of them filming and their finished product. I also like the episode because the viewers got to see someone being fired in a completely different way then normal.

Business Lesson:

Trump used the phrase "you have to love it" a lot throughout the episode. I think the phrase fit the episode because the leaders had to love their idea for the ad in order for it to be successful. Also, the idea came into place when deciding who should go because Elizabeth didn't love her idea and ended up getting fired.

Bruins Current Event

On Friday, December 9th, the Boston Bruins held their annual holiday toy shopping event. This event was first created by former Bruins player, Ray Bourque. All the players on the current roster went to Target in Watertown, MA, shopping for children's toys to donate to over 600 children unable to celebrate the holidays at home. The toys donated from the players and coaching staff will be given to children located in the  Boston Children's Hospital, Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center, MassGeneral Hospital for Children, Shriners Hospital for Children, Franciscan Hospital for Children, and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. The Bruins holding this event helps them give back to their community and helps raise awareness for the children in the hospitals. Also, by the Bruins giving back to their community it makes the fans feel like they are appreciated even more.
