This is something I saw on someone else's blog and thought was really cool. I love having the quick access to the overview of the weather and having a link to more details. Really glad I chose this tech tip because it also helped me familiarize myself with how to work with the blog layout.

Wikipeida Trail: From Gambling to The Dual Sovereignty Doctrine
Gambling is the beginning of my wikipedia trail which I chose because of the Pandavas misfortune associated with gambling. Gambling the the wagering of money or something of value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the intent of winning money and/or material goods. Many popular games such as craps and baccarat originated in Europe and China.
Gambling Law is the set of rules and regulations that apply to the gambling industry. It is a collection of several areas of law and is enormously complex. In the US, illegal gambling is a federal crime if done as a business.
A Federal Crime is an act that is made illegal by U.S. federal legislation. Prosecution happens at both the federal and the state level based on the Dual Sovereignty doctrine.
The Dual Sovereignty Doctrine states that the government of the United States and of each State therein may each enact their own laws and prosecute crimes pursuant thereto, provided there is no prohibition by the constitution of the United States or of the state in question.

Week 9 Review: Modes of Thinking
I thought this was a really interesting graphic to show the different ways people commonly think. I have always been a very analytical thinker using logic and following patterns. I have worked to expand my way of thinking to occasionally try to approach problems from a more divergent method of thinking and it has led to creative concepts. Hopefully I will improve my ability to apply both divergent and convergent thinking in order to create diverse and creative ideas as an engineer.

Learning Challenge: Deskercise
I love this concept! I am a relatively active person so during my internships these last few years, being confined to a desk for 8 hours a day has not been easy. I had seen a similar article and post somewhere else and tried a few of the exercises out and it was great! It's so important to keep your body moving and I have found it helps me think more clearly to even just take a lap around the office. It isn't easy to stay active at work but these exercises are great to keep in mind!

Growth Mindset: Relaxing
I deciding to create this meme after learning how to with my tech tip this week because it's something I think is easily forgotten. I often get so caught up in school and work and bills that I don't let my body and mind have the proper rest they require. Sometimes I need to just take a break and come back to whatever I am doing with more energy.
