After I
returned from my grand adventure, I decided to paten most of the mixes of foods
I had gathered from my travels. One of my favored foods was the cocoa covered
peanuts. I wanted to market it however; I had to come up with a name for it. Obviously it would have my name in the title I
would call it Phileas Fogg Nuts for Cocoa. I will package it in a small box enough
for eight ounces of the product. Having the sweetness to was down the liquor
and the saltiness to make a patron want to drink some more. The outer cocoa
will have some sweetness to it in the mix of the sugar and milk, however the
inside peanut will be roasted with salt and sprinkled with more salt after the
nut is roasted sufficiently. The product will only have five simple ingredients,
long enough so the drunkest of the drunk can read it and know what their
consuming. The ingredients will be cocoa, sugar, milk, salt, and peanuts. It
will be located on the left panel of the box with the right panel explaining a
little on how I acquired the product, with the name “Phileas Fogg Nuts for
Cocoa” in the front and back panels. Bellow the name will be a drawing of the
product cut in half showing the peanut surrounded by the cocoa shell, with the possibility
of the exterior of the product is more malleable. It will have a dark brown
coloring to the box, with a white ring around the label and the name will be in
red lettering, with the ingredients listed in a white box with black lettering.
The explanation on how I acquired the product with a drawing of a paper and written
in small yet legible black writing.

Week 8 EOC: The Adventure
It is day 70, and the weather around me was warm I can feel
the warmth of the sun as summer approached. As I looked down from my balloon
and looked at my map, I saw I was over the land that Columbus had discovered. I
believed it was the new world now called Mexico. As I descended, I encountered
a tribe of fierce warriors, they lived in a city surrounded by water and
buildings made of blinding gold as they reflected the rays of the sun. They began chanting thinking I was one of
their gods returning. They took me to their temple dedicated to their highest
god. Their leader and high priest drank a dark liquid with a bitter smell, which
they called Cocoa. They handed me some to try and indeed was very bitter, with clear
earth tones. A priestess approached and began to speech in Spanish and as luck
would have it, I had learned Spanish as I explored Spain. I asked her what this
drink was and she told me it was crushed cocoa beans and boiled in water.
That
night I took a few of the nuts crushed them until it powdered, added sugar,
poured some milk and mixed them together until it became a past. After I roasted
some peanuts and sprinkled some salt on them, I acquired the peanuts a few days
ago from the natives from the country of Peru. After the peanuts were ready and
mixed with salt I dropped them and mixed them with the cocoa past I made and
took them out and let them dry upon tasting them they were actually very sweet
and once you got to the nut began to get salty and you tasted the peanut and
with a mixed after taste. The next morning I entered my balloon, waved goodbye
to my new friends, and looked forward to my next place I would visit.

Week 5 EOC:
In the consumer world of both businesses and the average
consumer, it is very different the needs of a business to the needs of an
individual consumer. A business needs to order merchandise in bulk be it for
resale or use to better the business. For instance when I worked for Gap we
ordered cleaning supplies in bulk one it was cost efficient for the company and
it allowed us to have stock for a three month period. Another way they would
save cost was to borrow goods form a sister store this kept store cost down and
allowed for better communication between stores. Not only is establishing a
good report with outside sourced a good idea so is keeping a good report with
the drivers and delivery people. All these factor into the overall profitability
of store. This keeps the employees happy by having clean well lite areas, as
well as having a clean store for the customers. As for the individual consumer
usually only gets single items because they need to one fulfill their immediate
want or their overall need. Be it food, cleaning supplies, clothing, or entertainment
needs. In many ways, the company and the individual consumer are the same but
on the other hand, they are different. They both need cleaning supplies, but
they differ on the amount an individual buys and how much a company buys. If an
individual would buy at a store for example Cosco, they may end up saving money
in the end just as if the big companies buy items in bulk in order to save
money in their fiscal year. This gives them a higher budget the next quarter so
they may buy items they need that are a little more higher cost than just
cleaning supplies. This way they can move money from one area to another for
example if cleaning supplies saves one thousand dollars they can spend the
thousand dollars in maintenance needs or just save the money and show a higher profitability.

Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good
Disney
being one of the worlds’ largest entertainment industries providing great
family time weather it is in the theme parks around the world, watching their
many films, playing their family friendly games, or just playing with a Mikey
or Mini doll. It has been a truly happiest place to be. They bring in millions if not billions of
dollars just at their parks alone. Now that they acquired both Pixar and Marvel
they are making even more money opening the door to an even larger demographic
besides just family with kids, they also reach the many of comic book readers
out there. However, they also give back to the community with their charities
and innovation.
They
begin with their parks the trains are run with biodiesel made from cooking oils
from the kitchens of the parks and the hotels. The oil is refined and remade
into emissions free fuel for the trains to use. Another way in becoming a zero
waist parks is by recycling the trash of the parks so they can make into other
items needed. The cast members also help by going and donating their time to
clean the streets or volunteering in the cruses and cleaning the beaches, they
port at or around the ports in America. In California’s Adventures, they were awarded
for their water conservation in their world of color attraction.
Since 2009,
Disney has given 48 million dollars to the global conservation of the forests
and wooded areas of the world. By fining alternative energy uses for the world
to use and move away from the fossil fuels. They also employ veterinarians in
the Animal Kingdom Park and guests can watch them perform checkups and make
sure they are healthy.

underwater sense. I am well versed in
Photoshop from adding colors to drawings made on the program or scanned
drawings. I can add shadows to the appropriate areas, from the light sores I place
or by following the instructions of my client. I am versed in blending color to
