Project Update 6

This week, my partner was on a business trip in West Virginia. While he was there I worked on our marketing side. I perfected our website and I wanted to start working on our “Ted Talk” Presentation. When my partner returned we discussed how we were going to put our product on the market. I talked to my mom’s marketing manager and she really liked our product. I decided to pull her chain a little and told her that we were going on Shark Tank. She believed me and she was suddenly very interested. I told her I was kidding and she got mad at me. We ended up having a discussion and she gave me some pointers on how to advertise. We then made a quick outline of what we should do and I put making a commercial on the list. That could be a possibility because i’m really good at video stuff and so is my partner.

Handy Update

As of March 10, 2017, The Handy has undergone a breathtaking transformation. The new design makes the product look less like an English Project and more like an actual product that one would see in an Ace Hardware store. The new design has a clearer glue that makes the product look sleek. As the deadline approaches fast, we are perfecting not only our company but our whole business plan. A big issue for our 1st generation Handy was the durability of the product. So we tried to fix it in our generation 2 model. We noticed a flaw in the product so we tried to fix it. As a result we have an almost completely brand new item. My business partner and I have discussed a possibility of a commercial. This commercial requires a lengthy process. So we will see if it will work out. By the next 20 time Friday, we should have a final product. 

Humans Of Denmark

“There is a man that has gone through a terrible loss and he is going through some paternal changes. My first love is a man that knows what he wants but doesn’t know anything about love. He is sweet and charming and he is a fair man. He loves his country and his family. I want to marry him but my father and my brother don’t approve. He is a prince. I am of no royalty. My first live is a noble man. I have nothing to offer but myself. My honor and respect is on the line for Hamlet. I trust him but my dad says that he just wants my treasure. My own father. Is he looking out for me? Is he “protecting” me? Why wouldn’t he be happy for me? Maybe if I marry Hamlet, we will become royalty. My family should be excited and proud, but all they can think about is my treasure.”

Hamilton, A lost child

After Alexander Hamilton’s son was killed, He and his family moved to uptown New York. After, he and his wife stopped fighting(because of the affair). Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison wrote a series of 85 letters to defend the constitution under the name of Publius. These were known as the Federalist Papers. In the Presidential race, Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson were head to head in the race. They ended up tying and The tie breaker was Hamilton. He chose Jefferson even though He hated him. Aaron Burr realizes that Hamilton has been the reason why he hasn’t accomplished anything. They ultimately end up in a duel and Hamilton shoots up but Burr shoots at Hamilton. A bullet struck him right between the ribs and killed him. 

Ultimately, Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow is an incredible book that tells a story of a forgotten founding father. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Bastard, Orphan, son of a whore

So far, Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow has been really great. I have learned so many little interesting details about Secretary Hamilton like how he moved several different times. Alexander Hamilton is sort of an ass becaus
e he has an affair with this woman by the name of Maria Reynolds. Her husband actually catches them and blackmails Alex. The worst part is that not only does he bribe James Reynolds but he then tells everyone about it. Alexander’s wife, Eliza is so hurt by it and word gets around. Ultimately Alexander’s kid gets killed because of it but you’ll have to find out how. The book ties into the musical. For example, when you open the book to the dedication, it reads “best of wives and best of women”. Lin Manuel Miranda wrote a song by that title. Little details like that are commonly found in the book that are referred in the musical. 

Handy post #3

Since the last update, Handy inc. has been looking at more business partners and sponsors. We attended the Mr. Clean Cleaning Products annual convention. We brought our prototype along and made many business connections. The product is looking terrific and it is getting ready to be modified and updated. The Handy version 0.2 is getting ready to hit our testing focus group. We learned that The Handy is very strong and can withstand the incredibly sharp teeth and strong jaw of a 100 pound English Bulldog. The Handy also proved to stay together after it was left in hot dishwater for long periods of time. As of now,  the legal team at Handy Inc. have completed the paperwork for the U.S. Patent application. They are also working on Non-Disclosure agreement forms for everyone who has been a part of Handy Inc. in any way, shape, or form. We appreciate all the time and support that everyone has given us. And for that we thank you!

Alexander Hamilton

I am reading the book that the hit Broadway musical Hamilton is based on. It started of a bit slow but it was actually really good in the second chapter. Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow is one of the most interesting books I’ve read. It tells the story of a young boy in the Caribbean that got his shot and moved to America. He became George Washington’s right hand man. He finally got his shot at battle and he lead a small group into the battle of Yorktown. He ends up becoming the first secretary of Treasury. He creates the National Bank and assumes state’s debt. He later has a lovely affair with his neighbor and her husband catches them. He ends up extorting him for money. Hamilton gets questioned for the use of his money and he writes what is known as the Reynolds Pamphlet. That really ruined his reputation. He ended up dueling Aaron Burr and we all know what happens then. The book is an incredible book. I highly recommend it.

HANDY Post 2

Update: The Handy Version 0.1 was a successful prototype. We modified it and cut slits in the sponges on the fingers to be able to move them.  The Presentation was a huge success… We Had a FUNNY speech that everyone enjoyed and found humorous. We Got a lot of questions after, unlike the other groups. We felt proud that such a helpful idea can actually become a reality. As of now, Handy Inc. has been working tirelessly to perfect the product before our second prototype hits the investors’ market. The company is strong, gaining supporters each and every day. Just last week we received a call from a certain business partner about possibly introducing the product in a different country. If we can secure this international deal, we could mass produce this product for a very low cost and sell it at a more economic price. We are excited to venture into new opportunities. Stay tuned for more updates. 

20 time project entry 1

Our project is the Handy. It is a sponge glove that has the soft side on the palm and abrasive side on the fingertips and on the back of the fingers. The best part is that it is waterproof. We are planning on having the prototype for the elevator pitch. Then after that, we will have a focus group. Then get some feedback. After that we will improve our product. We will be glueing the sponges on with heat resistant glue so that it doesn’t come off when put in hot water. In the back of the fingers, we will have the sponges cut out to go around the joints to further improve mobility. The Handy is a one of a kind product that will make it so much easier for people to do the dishes, that will usually take a long time to do because of the constant amount of sponge flipping.

Anglo-Saxon Boast

I, Juansi Santaella, was born in the Scorching Summer of 1999.
My father hails from the coast of Venezuela,
Whilst my mother comes from city of Caracas.
My parents birthed another child, named Bella, in the year of 2007,
Who enjoys painting and art..
Her skills are sufficient,
But none can compare to my level of proficiency.
I, on the other hand, am one of the leaders of our school,
Originating in my parents’ homeland.
I delightfully dominate leaders from around the whales-way.
My achievements are unlistable.
I am an incredible film genius,
Recording all aspects to which I consider utterly Santaellian in its breath.
Through battle-sweat and tears, I am victorious on the screen.
On and off the screen, my talent and self-confidence take the prize.
I am a music fanatic, triumphant in the buying of concert tickets.
In the future, I am confident in my abilities to succeed in everything I attempt.
I aspire to study Sports medicine at the University of Arizona in the fall of 2017.
And succeed, just as in everything else I do.
