Week 4 create an App

Athlete Gatherer. With this app i am looking to bring sports fanatics, and lost talent together. I would like people to sign up for this social media application; enter the sports, and hobbies that they like to participate in; Now with that gathered information connect with other athletes around them to engage in a game,league, or possibly even build an organization. The amount of possibilities are endless. Coaches can scout talent, kids can get out and gain experience, and friendship. The benefits of this particular application can evolve into something more. Schools can get involved,churches, neighborhoods, etc. The contact with each other to play your favorite sports can also be a great stress reliever.

Week 3:Making Money For Good

I want to comment on the NFL's, Breast Cancer Awareness month support amounts. During the month of October every team is pinked out in support of breast cancer research. When a very small amount is actually given to the research group. Where does the money go? Members of the ACS have realized the slimmed profit, and have this to say about the situation:"The money that we receive from NFL has nothing to do with our research program," ACS spokeswoman Tara Peters told VICE Sports. All NFL donations go to ACS' CHANGE program, through which the organization awards grants to "community based health facilities" located within 100 miles of an NFL city for educating women about breast health. 
One more quote from Jagger stating:"So many pink ribbon promotions really focus on awareness, and folks are often really shocked to learn how little money, if any, goes to the breast cancer organization that is doing the important and necessary research on the root causes of the disease, [on] more effective [and] less toxic treatments, on emergency services for women to ensure that they are able to get transportation or childcare to go to treatment to access these incredibly expensive treatments that keep women off of work."
Now in my opinion the NFL should give much more back to the actual study towards the cause, then just the awareness in the pink apparel.

Week 1 EOC: My Voice

During my times being an audio professional, I’ve gained an insurmountable amount of information that I plan on utilizing towards my future. I have gained knowledge and experience dealing with teamwork, self-reliance, and dedication towards a goal or being involved to reach one together. I thrive on overcoming anything I put my mind towards. Challenges intrigue me to the point that I love to take them on. Here is an example from my voyage on Chaparral High School's volleyball team. I knew I’ve been destined for greatness. I brought a team of individuals, and turned them into a family with the help of my coaches. Anything is possible with hard work and persistence. You could ask anyone around me about how I attack the things I want. A goal of mine that I have set is to collaborate with more professionals with similar interests. Bring Las Vegas higher on the audio board, so we can host more audio events, and even spread an organization nation, or even worldwide. I know that not everyone in Las Vegas is active for anyone more than themselves. A dream would be everyone knowing everyone. Producing delightful music everywhere. Welcoming, and not charging just to work with a person. I notice everyone’s work, and I would like to conjoin my talents; nothing but greatness will come. Wait until everyone can see what multiple minds can bring together.

Week 2 EOC: Boston Consulting Group - Video Games

Video game technology has flourished over the years. From the Super Nintendo; Up to the Wii U. Maybe even the Sony series of PlayStations. Though these companies have lots of entertainment options; a top 4 are engaging in heavy competition. Who will be the best console, and who will hold the title.  Xbox and PlayStation are, and have always been neck and neck competitors. The stars in the video game world’s current systems are the Xbox One, and The PlayStation 4. “We have the advantage in powering gamers through the next decade," say both companies, but each have been battling with each other endlessly. I feel as if they are the stars because there is always a season for them to take ahold of the sales in. Madden and 2k series will keep these fellows on top. As soon as one of the series is midway, or ending; The other is beginning with brand new talent. The Xbox 360 and Ps3 are cash cows. The concept is already set. The high systems are making their copies playable of the economy buyers. Milking the consistent profits of underprivileged athletic game players. The Wii U in my opinion is a question mark. Japan is just now allowing most of their makings available to the US. Lots of strong opportunities can be fulfilled, but may not be noticeable. The Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS. These are dogs. You simply have to enjoy the old school vibes of your favorite games
