What I learned about the stock market is the stock market contains a lot of people and each person has a specific job on making sure the stock market does not go under and run out of money.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnJCOof2HJk This is my hyperlink.The New York Stock Exchange is one of the biggest stock exhanges in the US. It is in control of monitoring how much shares cost and how many shares there should be.It also is in control of seeing whether a person should go to jail if they copyrighted something.The stock market is so big that you could get millions of people inside it to make it work. The stock that I chose to research on was Home Depot because it has high income and a high salary paying, lots of people working there and is busy all the time.The second stock I researched on was Walmart. The reason why i chose to research Walmarts rates was because it has high income,high salry, and alot of competitors.The third stock I researched on was CVS. It doesnt have high salary or any high salary but it does make money because its a pharmacy so I thought about looking it up to see what the rates were. The last stock I researched on was Rite Aid. It has very low salary alot of competitors and high mortgage pay. To sum it all up my 4 stocks were good choices to research.

St.Angelo story

My name is John I am the brother of St. Angelo and this is the story of his early life until he became a martyr. Our parents had a vision of Mary. The angel told them the Messiah had come and the angel promised her two sons. One son would be a Patriarch and the other a martyr. Our mother converted us to Christianity and had us baptized. At the age of eighteen, our parents died. My brother and I entered the Carmelite Order. We both had great mental and spiritual gifts. At this time Angelo spoke three languages Greek, Latin, and Hebrew. I only spoke Hebrew. When Angelo was in his mid-twenties, he was ordained in Jerusalem and traveled through Palestine. He was becoming known for his miracles, but he wanted to avoid fame. He withdrew from society to a hermitage.
Angelo remained on Mount Carmel for a few years. My brother received a calling from Jesus to go to Sicily. Along his journey my brother converted many sinners by his teachings and miracles. In Palermo, hundreds of Jews wanted to be baptized. In Licata, he made a man by the name of Berengaria angry and he denounced him. It is unclear if Berengaria himself or his ruthless thugs killed him. Shortly after being wounded he asked his assassin to be pardoned. My brother was buried at SS. Filippo e Giamoco.
Angelo struggled with all the fame he received after performing miracles. Just like St. Angelo, I struggle sometimes with a lot of attention and withdraw from the world around me. Some of my daily struggles include listening and knowing what I should do and what I actually do. I sometimes tend to listen to friends instead of my parents or teachers. I find it sometimes hard to follow the path of a Saint. I now know I can ask St. Angelo to pray for me to help me with these problems. Through my research of St. Angelo, I feel closer to him and strive to be more like him.
St. Angelo had enormous faith and love in God. He showed great kindness and patience to people in his travels. I also share these virtues. By going to Church, praying and helping people who are less fortunate I am following what St. Angelo has done. Faith is one the strongest virtues a Catholic can have. Faith helps me to believe in the teachings in the Bible and have trust in the Church as well. Kindness is a strong virtue of mine. I help my Grandmother with things that are hard for her to do now. I take out the garbage, feed the dog, go to the store or help to put away the groceries. I take care of my Grandmother as I love her with all my heart. I help my mom by raking the leaves, shoveling the snow or bringing in the grocery bags for her. I have a lot of patience with my little cousins. When they come over to my house, I play with them and try not to yell or lose patience with them. I show Fortitude with my school work, even though school is a struggle sometimes. I know that if I give up I will get nowhere.
My name is Nicholas Vincent. I am a member of St. Anthony’s Parish. I have chosen St. Angelo as my Saint for Confirmation. St. Angelo’s feast day is on my birthday May 5. I chose this Saint because I admire all of the miracles he performed and how people idolized him. He was a person that was followed by many. I want to be more forgiving like him, even with the people who are not as easy to forgive. I can also help other people when they are in need. In helping people I feel I am setting an example for what my Saint has done. I can teach younger children the good values of a Saint, like forgiveness and patience. In forgiving another person I am following God’s path and imitating St. Angelo who followed God unconditionally. I can be more like him in doing the right thing always. St. Angelo was chosen as a Saint because of his teachings, miracles and how he forgave his assassin. He was a very kind and charitable person. He followed all of Jesus’s teachings and his calling. I strive to be more like him everyday. I hope that by praying to God, doing good things for other people, and working hard, I can be the person that God wants me to be.

!!Super Size Me!!

The reason I am doing a post about supersize me is because people dont know that if you eat alot of unhealthy foods you will get fat and you probably would be treated differently than everybody else.People dont know the consequences that come from eating unhealthy foods.The only ways that people will be able to lose their weight is if they excercise,eat healthier foods,and go to nutritionists and ask them what that person should do.
(Super Size Me) is a video that heavy set people shouldn't watch because it could encourage them to eat more unhealthy foods therefore they would get fatter.If I was fat I would not watch that video because I know that I would probably eat at MC.DONALDS everyday.If any heavy set people are reading this post they should listen to what im saying
What I learned from the video was that fat people should know when enough is enough so then they should go by instinct to stop eating.The impact the video had on me was if I was skinny and asked to eat at MC.DONALDS I would probably take breaks in between and not eat there for a day so that my body cold rest and regain its carbohydrates.If fat people do not get the exercise they need they will just keep growing until they will die of the weight they keep gaining from eating unhealthy foods.

A Look At Hungary
My European country that I was assigned was Hungary. Hungary is a very big country by means of land size.If Hungary was split it could make two whole countries and still have parts left over.I would visit Hungary since they have good food,activities,and soups. I hope I get to visit Hungary in the future.

Millenium Development Goals.
The millenium development goals are goals that people take action in.The lady in goverment wants to rise health care prices.That is a very bad idea because if people can't afford health care they are going to lose alot of business from patients.
Something just as bad as that is the goverment is raising the price of school taxes.The purpose of the goals are to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger,achieve universal primary education,create gender equalityn and empower women,reduce child mortality,improve maternal health,combat HIV/AIDS,malaria and other diseases,ensure enviormental sustainability and develop a global partnership for development.The price of child care has raised because the people figure if all these people are coming we should raise the price.
If the prices of everything keep going up less people would want to go and the people will lose their business.But if they lower the price of these things then more people will go and get more of it.i hope these prices will hopefully go down in the future.
1.)Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/4971202815_e49
2.)Achieve universal primary education.
3.)Promote gender equality and empower women.
4.)Reduce child mortality.
5.)Improve maternal health.
6.)Combat hiv/aids malaria and other diseases.
7.)Ensure enviormental sustainability
8.)Global partnership for development.

A couple days ago we were talking about roller coasters. Our teacher wanted us to do a project. There was a historian, Physicist,and design engineer. I was the Historian and I had to get facts about when the first roller coaster was ever built,and where it was located. What I came up with was it was located in Japan.Then there was the Physicist the job of the physicist was to study and analyze the properties and interactions of matter and energy with roller coasters.What that person had to do was find info about kinds of roller coasters.Finally there was the design engineer that person had to draw the roller coaster on a piece of paper,also they had to make sure that the hill was just right so the ride would be safe.

6th Grade Roller Coaster Project

Roller Coaster Project-The reason why we did this project was so that we could find out facts about the different types of roller coasters,and find out about what the first material was to start building roller coasters was. Our team came up with the name of FIRE BIRD and it looked pretty cool.I was the Historian and the fact I found most interesting was before the people can turn on the roller coasters they have to check them because if there is 1 little problem they will not let anyone on it because the people could seriously be hurt and sometimes die.Then there was the Physicist who gave some information that tells the when the first roller coaster was made and what it was called.Finally there was the Design Engineer,that person's job was to draw the roller coaster on a piece of paper. The reason why our Roller Coaster was a sucess,was because we checked every little corner to see if it worked out.The things I would change would be the name of the roller coaster because it doesnt make any sense to the roller coaster.The inertia was the thing that made the roller coaster go faster.The more speed you make the roller coaster go the more kinetic energy it has.The more weight you have on the coaster the more speed it has.A roller coaster has to have friction acting upon it.
