20% week 6

We have built up a plan to make a 3-D model of our underground safe house. We found great advice on buildings being built underground from experts in that area. They spoke a lot about materials needed and how to support it from falling in. They also gave certain situations in which we need to be aware of. We also have made a list of the materials we need, precautions, and costs. The lists are likely to change as we build the underground safe house thinking about extra precautions for living underground. By the end of the year we hope to have a finished 3-D model, and paper work containing the costs, and blueprints.

Candy stocks

Wednesday march 19, we simultaneously entered at a rushed pace through both doors of the room. Before we entered he explained that there was candy and money and to pick up as much as possible. It took only minute tops for all of the treasures to be cleaned up. We organized our piles of money and candy. We calculated the amount money we had we grabbed and the worth of the candy that was stated on the board. Every two minutes the prices changed. Sometimes the candy companies split the prices, had a dividend, and joined together. Some people walked around to other classmates trying to sell or buy items in their stock. The others stayed in their spot confused or not wanting to sell or buy. The goal was to earn as much money as possible. When the price changes were done we all quickly added up the ending price of our stock. We showed Mr. Kapptie our math, and took a picture of our candy stocks. And the period was over.

Dear Me, Skills

Dear me, 
 As the future technology reaches to new heights, I think few skills needed will be dexterous, responsibility, and amiable. People need to be good with their hands because many jobs require you to work with small and fragile objects. There are also many robotic devices that need to built or repaired. Another is responsibility, being able to pull your own weight, accomplishing all tasks that you were given, being punctual, and working hard every day. Last I think being amiable will help you get a job. If you are friendly to the people you work for and around it makes the job less stressful. And also if you are friendly to the customers they will want to keep coming and even tell their friends to shop at the company you work at. Being friendly will help the business with satisfying the customers and hopefully new ones coming. These are three skills I think would be needed to find a job.

Day Light Savings

I would keep day light savings time just make a few adjustments. For example I would make all the countries on the same day turn their clocks forward in the top hemisphere, and backwards one hour in the lower hemisphere. This would make it easier for figuring out the time, than how we figure out time now during daylight saving times. Because of the change for day light saving time when it gets over they add another hour of sleep. Also when you change the time the light lasts longer during the night making more time for agriculture and other outdoors activities. Yes, they could go at night, but it wouldn't be safe and if someone were to be harmed it would be hard to see them and the situation they are in. it would also have lighter at night making it easier, and safer for drivers.
