Favorite Apprentice Episode

i. My favorite episode of The Apprentice that we have watched in marketing was episode 2.
ii. 1. The task was to sell as much ice cream on the streets of New York as possible. The teams were given push carts of ice cream, the team with the largest profit won the challenge.
2. Project Managers: Apex: Ivana
Mosaic: Kelly
3. Prize: Nicest caviar restaurant in New York for dinner.
4. Who was taken into Boardroom: Stacie, Jen C, Bradford, Ivana
5. Who was fired and why: Bradford ended up getting fired. He was exempt after winning week 1 as project manager and decided to give up his exemption because he felt that he was by far the best performing member on the team. Donald Trump thought this was a very stupid decision and said to Bradford that if that kind of decision was made when running a company the company is immediately destroyed. For that reason, Bradford was fired.
6. Why was this my favorite episode: I liked the challenge of going out into the streets and getting the true New York experience, I also enjoyed this episode because of what happened in the boardroom watching Bradford get fired after making a very stupid decision.
7. Business aspect: I learned from this episode to never stand your guard down no matter how well you think you performed, because there is always something that can turn the tables on you.

College Mascots CE

Students come together under the institution’s iconic colors and logos, magnetic mascots and fans’ chants that echo throughout the stadium. When that community is stripped of its collective imagery, it presents the institution with the great challenge of rallying the troops under a new banner. Some schools have names that refer to native americans, which will enflame some people who are of NA descent.

Survey Response

I can conclude from my survey that most of the people who took the survey would not want to re design the cafe, but you can see there are so who buy lunch that do not like the area in which lunch is purchased. Some like the new paintings on columns and walls, some also think they are very tacky looking.

Red Sox FOundation

Social Responsibility: Red Sox FOundation

About the event: You may have heard the rumor that the only thing MLB players love almost as much as baseball is golf – and it’s entirely true. Any day out on the greens is a good day, and if you can combine it with time spent with close friends and the ability to raise funds for the great work done by both the Red Sox Foundation (RSF) and Franciscan Hospital for Children, then it’s a home run for all of us. This year’s 4th Annual Red Sox Foundation Golf Tournament will be held at the Belmont Country Club, which was the home of the 2015 PGA Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship.

Proceeds from this fun-filled day of golf will benefit the Red Sox Foundation’s charitable programs. Together with the generous fans of Red Sox Nation, RSF has raised and distributed millions of dollars to support programs that help kids, families and veterans throughout New England. Our foundation has a long history of community partnership and works closely with The Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the Dimock Center in Roxbury, Red Sox Scholars, RBI, and the RSF and Mass General Home Base Program for veterans with post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury.

In addition to the the Red Sox Foundation, the tournament will also benefit the Franciscan Hospital, which has specialized in providing compassionate customized pediatric care since they opened their doors in 1949. With more than 600 physicians and staff members, Franciscan offers health and rehab services unique in the Northeast.

Toy Hall of Fame

My 5 favorite toys of all time are a Frisbee, Kan Jam, Spike Ball, Corn hole, and Ping Pong. Each one of these toys are fun backyard games in which I spend a lot of my summer playing. These games are great to play with anyone, family, large groups of friends, even if you want to get some extra practice in by yourself. The Frisbee is one of the most original toys and tends to be the hardest to use out of my list. They can be very tricky to know if you are not an expert. Kan Jam, another extremely tough game which involves partners which can get very intense. Corn hole is another partner game which involves tossing a bag filled with popcorn kernels onto another board to score as many points as possible. Ping Pong a tough game involving a lot of hand-eye coordination and skill to return a fast approaching ball to a small zone.

Each of these toys are very fun and sometimes intense group games, which are my personal favorite. I go on vacation a lot during the summer, so these are some of my favorite things to do at the beach or even in a backyard. This also makes for a great time with a large group of friends.
