This Slow Cooker Beefy Nacho Soup has all of the deliciousness of cheesy nachos packed right into it! This soup is so simple to make and will become an instant favorite!
I had no intentions of posting this Slow Cooker Beefy Nacho Soup recipe today. In fact, I was actually going to save it for the fall, but those plans all went out the window yesterday thanks to Mother Nature.
She's totally messing with us here in Utah. I woke up yesterday morning to a snow-covered lawn and it just kept snowing for a good part of the day yesterday, I was freezing all day and all I wanted was soup.
So I'm sorry if where you live it's 90+ degrees and the last thing you want is soup.
But look at it this way, if it's that hot, the last thing you want to do is turn your oven on and heat up your house, right?
If you use your slow cooker, you avoid that problem. So you should make this soup. I know having to brown meat before you add it to your slow cooker might annoy the crap out of you, so if it does I'm sorry. But I hope you don't let that stop you from making this soup because it's absolutely delicious.
The ooohs and aaahs I heard coming from my boy's mouths told me immediately how much they loved this soup.
We loaded ours with crushed tortilla chips and even topped it with a little more grated cheese. You guys, it's so, so good! You really need to make this.
If you want this soup to have more kick, then add the seeds and membrane from the jalapeno and if that doesn't give it enough kick for you, you can add a second jalapeno.
If your kiddos are opposed to chunks of tomatoes, then you can put the tomatoes in a food processor before and give it a few pulses, or you can also take a pair of kitchen scissors and cut the tomatoes a little smaller while they're still in the can (I've done it both ways).
You can use any cheese you like, but my favorite combination is using both sharp cheddar with pepper jack.
Because the meat is already cooked when you put it in the slow cooker, this soup really doesn't need to cook super long. Four hours on low is plenty long, but if it ends up being longer because you're at work or whatever, that's fine too. On the flip side, if you're in a hurry and need it done faster, you can cook it on high for a couple hours.
In a medium sized skillet cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is no longer pink. Drain the grease and add to slow cooker.
Add green bell pepper, jalapeño, corn, black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and chicken broth and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
30 minutes before it's done, add the shredded cheese and stir well.
Whisk together the cornstarch and heavy cream until smooth. Pour into slow cooker and whisk in until combined. Continue cooking for 30 minutes.
The fire roasted salsa style tomatoes that I use are the Great Value brand from Walmart. I've also seen the salsa style at Smith's (Kroger brand).
IF YOU TRY THIS RECIPE, COMMENT BELOW! I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK.
Hi Jodi. I need a new slow cooker and thought you posted a while back about your favorite brand. It had the pan you could brown in without washing another pot. Can you let me know what it is? Thanks.
Hi Teresa! My slow cooker that I love is the Cuisinart 6 quart. I absolutely love it. Stuff doesn't burn in it and you can brown/sautee and steam in it. I'll attach the link on Amazon for it. Looks like today it's $107 which is a really good price. I've seen it as high as $155 so you might want to snag it today. I have seen it drop to $99, but never below that. I know it's pricier than most slow cookers but it is worth every single penny. Let me know if you end up getting it. Have a great day!

Combustion Stability and the Properties of Methane/Air Mixture Subjected to Unsteady Flow Fluctuations
Lee, Eui-Ju;Oh, Chang-Bo 1
Flame extinction and the chemistry of stoichiometric methane/air mixture were investigated numerically in the PSR(perfectly stirred reactor). For the study, PSR code was modified to be possible to unsteady calculation, and the sinusoidal fluctuation was subjected to the residence time. In the region of residence time far from the extinction limit, combustion mode was strongly dependent on the frequency. The low frequency excitation provided the quasi-steady behavior on the temperature and the concentrations of related species, but small variation of temperature was observed under high frequency. In the region of residence time near the extinction limit, the mixture subjected above 1 KHz was still reacting even though extinction had to be occurred under quasi-steady concept. The attenuation of extinction limit resulted from that chemical time was comparable to the flow time. The mean mole fractions of both NO and CO were almost same regardless of imposed frequency. However, the average mole fraction of $C_2H_2$ was decreased as increasing frequency, which implies that soot yield might be reduced at the higher frequency of flow excitation. The result provides the basic concept for flame stabilization, and it will be used to design a mild combustor.
A Study on Development of Crash Cushion
Choi, Ki-Jun;Kwon, Yong-Seok 7
The crash cushion has drawn a great attention because of its versatility, efficiency and simplicity in reducing the mortality and damages from traffic accidents. However, the existing cushion systems are high priced or have limited functions. The purpose of the study was to devise an improved crash cushion which can offer higher safety compared to the available ones at present. In addition, the conformity of the cushion with the facility standards was assessed through computer simulation for collision with vehicles. The novel cushion system adopts the used tires as shock absorber, which can not only secure cushioning effect but also reduce the production cost. Moreover, it is highly durable and easy to maintain and repair the damaged parts. According to the simulation using BARRIER VII program, the novel cushion system showed PHD of 17.4 g and 10.1 g for a frontal collision and a side collision, respectively. Based on the results, it could be concluded that the novel cushion system met the test standards in the guideline for road safety facility installation and management.

A Study on the Feature Extraction of Pattern Recognition for Weld Defects Evaluation of Titanium Weld Zone
Yun, In-Sik 17
This study proposes feature extraction method of pattern recognition by evaluation of weld defects in weld zone of titanium. For this purpose, analysis objectives in this study are features of attractor quadrant and fractal dimension. Trajectory changes in the attractor indicated a substantial difference in fractal characteristics resulting from distance shifts such as porosity of weld zone. These differences in characteristics of weld defects enables the evaluation of unique characteristics of defects in the weld zone. In quantitative fractal feature extraction, feature values of 0.87 and 1.00 in the case of part of 0.5 skip distance and 0.72 and 0.93 in the case of part of 1.0 skip distance were proposed on the basis of fractal dimensions. Attractor quadrant point, feature values of 1.322 and 1.172 in the case of ${\phi}1{\times}3mm$ porosity and 2.264 and 307 in the case of ${\phi}3{\times}3mm$ porosity were proposed on the basis of distribution value. The Proposed feature extraction of pattern recognition in this study can be used for safety evaluation of weld zone in titanium.

Optimized Fabrication of FGMs and DIC Evaluation
Kwon, Oh-Heon 27
Recently new technological development needs the advances in the fields of new materials. The most advanced design is not useful if new material's performance is not realized adequately for bearing the service loads and conditions. FGMs suggests the reasonable solution for the those requirements because of its wide range microstructure and the continuous constitutions. It's especially good for the heat-resisting components, piezoelectricity and aerocraft fields. However the fabrication and its experimental estimation methods have not been established because of its various freedom of material's properties. Therefore it is necessary to develope the fabrication method and estimation of strength and deformation. The experiments are conducted under a four point flexural test. According to results, this study shows that FGMs is well fabricated and the deformation and strain fields are expressed very well by digital image correlation method.
Technical/Systemic Approach to Safety Assesment of Thermoprocessing Equipment Consuming LNG for Classification of Hazardous Area
Choi, Sang-Won 33
In the hazardous areas where explosive liquids, vapors and gases exist, electrical apparatus/equipment should have explosion-proof construction. The consuming of liquefied natural gas(LNG) has markedly increased in the industrial field, especially in aspect of some thermoprocessing equipment, boiler, dryer, furnace, annealer, kiln, regenerative thermal oxidizer(RTO) and so on. Because it has many merits, clean fuel, safety, no transportation/storage facility and so on. It is strongly recommend that the classification of hazards has to be decided to prevent and protect explosion which may occur in thermoprocessing equipment. In this paper, the operated thermoprocessing equipments in industrial area investigated and explosion risk assessment about LNG leakage from its facilities was performed through numerical calculation and computer simulation. Finally, we suggest the systemic/technical approach for safety assessments of thermoprocessing equipments consumed LNG fuel which are specially subjected to classification of hazardous area.
A Study on Cable Functional Failure Temperature by Exposed Fire in Nuclear Power Plants
Kim, Doo-Hyun;Lim, Hyuk-Soon 41
The fire event occurred in fire proof zone often causes serious electrical problems such as shorts, ground faults, or open circuits in nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety related systems and equipments The fire event can treat the basic design principle that safety systems should keep their functions with redundancy and independency. In case of a cable fire, operators can not perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, wrong indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and make disastrous conditions. In this paper, the cables of the representative nuclear power plant in korea is selected and the cable functional failure temperature by exposed fire using Cable Response to Live Fire(CAROLFIRE) is studied. It is expected that the results are very useful to know the cable failure temperature by exposed fire. We confirmed the safety and integrity of the cable by exposed fire and those results will use the based data of cable exposed fire characteristics.

Hong, Ki-Nam;Jung, Jin-Yeong;Han, Sang-Hoon 59
This paper presents the research results performed to develope the shrinkage-free grout with high early strength. Alumina cement and anhydrite were utilized as the expensive tool to gain the shrinkage-free grout. The compressive strength, length change, and ettringite formation of the grout were investigated with compressive test, length change test, and X-ray diffraction. The more anhydrite was added into the grout, the larger the early expansion of the grout. In addition, the more anhydrite formated the more ettringite. From this study, It was conformed that the grout mixture with shrinkage-free property and high early strength is the mixture with the ratio of alumina cement and anhydrite of 40:60 by weight.
An Experimental Study for Manufacture of High Quality Recycled Aggregate by Heating
Yoo, Sung-Won;Min, Gyeong-Oan;Her, Yoon;Ha, Heon-Jae;Moon, Jae-Heum 65
The use of waste concrete can resolve the environmental pollution and shortage of natural aggregate. However, recycled aggregate includes substantial amount of cement paste. So, these aggregates are more porous, and less resistant to mechanical actions than natural aggregates. So, recently, the new manufacture processes of high quality recycled aggregates were suggested such as heating and solving to acid liquid. But the method of solving to acid liquid is not economical and produces additional environmental pollution. In this paper, for the purpose of manufacture of high quality recycled aggregates, the heating processes was added to the existing process of recycled aggregates. To find the optimum process, the experiment was performed by using the method of statistical experiment design, and the heating temperatures(4 levels : 300, 450, 600 and $750^{\circ}C$) and heating times(4 levels : 5, 20, 40, 60 minute) were main experimental variables. By the test results, the optimum manufacturing condition of coarse recycled aggregate was $600^{\circ}C$ and 40 minute, and for the fine recycled aggregate, a little heating made a satisfaction to the KS standard quality code.

In addition, the safety management system was developed to perform risk assessment of construction and use it for effective safety training for labor.
Evaluation of Working Postures of Catering Workers in a Restaurant
Hwang, Jae-Jin;Jung, Myung-Chul;Kim, Hyun-Joo;JungChoi, Kyung-Hee;Bahk, Jin-Wook;Lee, In-Seok 81
The goal of this study was to determine whether food industry workers are exposed to musculoskeletal loads due to the work time, frequency, awkward postures and inappropriate workspace design. Three catering workers were evaluated based on job analysis and posture analysis. The results showed that the four most time-consuming tasks were arranging(17%), cooking(16%), handling before cooking(15%) and cutting(15%), and the four most frequent tasks were arranging(21%), cooking(18%), handling after cooking(16%) and handling before cooking(13%). The most common posture was a standing posture(73%) with neutral back(73%), and bent head(50%), left lower arm(71%), right lower arm(78%) and right hand(60%). The comparative analysis of subtasks for the risk levels of musculoskeletal disorders was conducted using the work time, frequency and cumulative time of the postures. The 'displaying' and 'handling after cooking' showed higher risk levels than other subtasks. In addition, the height and length of the tables were evaluated to be inadequate for the workers. It can be concluded that the working environments for catering workers of restaurants should be improved due to the high cumulative time of awkward postures of upper extremities.
A Study on Musculoskeletal Disorders and Job Stress of Workers in a Shipbuilding Company
Lee, Yu-Jeong;Kim, Tae-Hyeong;Chang, Seong-Rok 89
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have become a hot issue in the Korean workplace for the past several years. So many manufacturing companies have tried to improve the work environments for the control and the prevention of the WMSDs. This study investigates the relation between WMSDs and job stress from 965 workers in a shipbuilding company by questionnaire analysis. The seven job stress factors which are job autonomy, job insecurity, organizational system, workplace culture, unfair compensation, relationship conflict, and job requirement were analyzed. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders symptoms were 12.9%. The analysis showed that job stress by job autonomy was higher than that by job stress factor. WMSDs were associated with job requirement, organizational system, unfair compensation and workplace culture. The results could be used to design the management program for the reduction of job stress.

Chi, Moon-Goo;Hwang, Seok-Won;Oh, Ji-Yong 99
An ILRT Interval for a nuclear power plant in Korea was extended from once in five years to once in ten years. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate risk impact for ILRT interval extensions. In this paper, input data were generated for the reference plants, KSNP, using raw data such as meteorological data, population distribution data and source term data. And, using MACCS II code the risk impact assessment was performed based on the two methodologies of NUREG-1493 and NEI Interim Report. The risk impact derived from an ILRT interval extension was identified not to be significant. It is considered to apply this study and results to making an accident management plan and safety goal, and to the field of public acceptance.
Off-Site Consequence Analysis for PWR and PHWR Types of Nuclear Power Plants Using MACCS II Code
Jeon, Ho-Jun;Chi, Moon-Goo;Hwang, Seok-Won 105
Since a severe accident, which happens in low frequency, can cause serious damages, the interests in off-site consequence analysis for a nuclear power plant have been increased after Chernobyl, TMI and Fukushima accidents. Consequences, which are the effects on health and environment caused by released radioisotopes, are evaluated using MACCS II code based on the method of Level 3 PSA. To perform a consequence analysis for the reference plants, the input data of the code were generated such as meteorological data, population distribution, release fractions, and so on. Using these input data, acute and lifetime dose as an organ, CCDF for early fatalities and latent cancer fatalities, and average individual risk were analyzed by using MACCS II code in this study. These results might contribute to establishing accident management plan and quantitative health object.
Comparison of Analysis of Original Cause Material and Factors Considering Workplace Characteristics on Occupational Injuries and Diseases in Forestry
Kim, Jin-Hyun 110
The paper tries to understand the other side of characteristics on occupational injuries and diseases in forestry. Occupational injuries and diseases in forestry seems to be greatly influenced by the environmental characteristics of the mountain district and individual's ability of workers. A traditional method on the analysis of occupational injuries and diseases data may show that the main cause of occupational injuries and diseases is the material factors significantly. To identify the other side of occupational injuries and diseases in forestry, the occupational injuries and diseases data of 3,091 workers in forestry was analyzed. The data in forestry, 2009 shows certain characteristics among the recent occupational injuries and diseases data. The first step is to classify the data according to standard of classification of original cause materials. Material factors are 72.3% and human factors (included managerial factors) and environmental factors are 27.0%. The next step is to reclassify the first step data by using the concept of influence factors which caused and influenced occupational injuries and diseases. The result is that material factors are 2.4%, human factors(included managerial factors) and environmental factors are 97.0%. Also, an aging degree of workers in forestry is higher than other categories of business. It is true that an aging degree of injured or diseased workers in forestry is higher than that of other categories of business. However, relevance with increase of occupational injuries and diseases could not be explained. An injury and disease rate in forestry is remarkably increased recently than other categories of business. One of the reason why an injury and disease rate increased remarkably in 2009 could be considered as the increase of the number of workers and related budget. Therefore, this study proposes important measures or means to prevent occupational injuries and diseases in forestry.
A Study on the Afforestation of Fire-Resistant Forest through an Application of Forest Fire Investigation
Park, Young-Ju 118
In this study, species resistant to forest fire were extracted from high trees through an investigation of combustion mechanism. Here, the average flameless ignition temperatures of living leaves, branches and barks of oak were respectively, $365^{\circ}C$, $440^{\circ}C$ and $435^{\circ}C$, and the average flameless ignition temperatures of living leaves, branches, barks and cones of pine tree were respectively, $320^{\circ}C$, $405^{\circ}C$, $435^{\circ}C$ and $363^{\circ}C$. It shows that generally, pine tree has a lower flameless ignition temperature than oak and thus, has a relatively high risk of flameless ignition. When comparing risk of fire depending on ignition characteristics, Quercus serrata had a low risk of stem fire, and Quercus acutissima and Quercus serrata had a low risk of crown fire, as well. When analysing risk of fire depending on a duration of flame, also, Quercus dentata had a low risk of stem fire, and Quercus variabilis Blume had a low risk of crown fire too. Lastly, when comparing risk of fire, according to heat release rates, Quercus acutissima had a low risk of stem fire, and Quercus acutissima and Quercus dentata had a low risk of crown fire, as well. In conclusion, it was observed that as fire-resistant species, Quercus serrata and Quercus dentata have a low risk of ignition, Quercus variabilis Blume has a short duration of flame after discharging ignition when a forest fire occurs, and Quercus acutissima, Pinus Rigida and Antipathes japonica Brook have low heat release rates.

In pursuing the above, this study gives particular emphasis to dividing the 474 small link sections, collecting the accident data of 2007, and applying the statistical programs of SPSS17.0 and NLOGIT4.0. The main results are as follows. First, the number of accidents of two-lane roads were analyzed to be 59.9% of totals and to be the most of all. Second, one Poisson and two negative binomial regression models which were all statistically significant were developed. Finally, the common variables of all models were evaluated to be ADT and number of exit/entry which were all positive to the accidents.
A Basic Study on Road Safety Assessment through an Analysis of Drivers' Driving Characteristics
Lim, Joon-Bum;Lee, Soo-Beom;Park, Jun-Tae;Park, Jin-Ho 136
In this study, to investigate the dangerous driving on the curves, a driving test was performed in 10 km from Jinan and to Jeonju(Bugui Gas Station~Whasim Intersection), on the national highway No. 26. For the dangerous driving felt by the driver when a driver is driving on the curves, lateral acceleration and yaw rate were analyzed. And then, the reference value of lateral acceleration and yaw rate was computed. Through observing the driving speed and the characteristics of ordinary drivers using the applicable roads or following them as they drive, the driving test was performed again and the section exceeding the reference value set as above was computed. On the dangerous driving area, exceeding the reference value, total 10 accidents took place from 2006 till 2010, and slipping caused by speeding accounted for more than 70% of the accidents. It was concluded that the result of an analysis through recording drivers' driving characteristics, was reliable.

"No safety events occurred during this incident," the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement about what officials said amounted to a 40-minute span during which the female controller slurred words and then apparently lost consciousness shortly before midnight Wednesday.
"An air traffic controller at the Las Vegas tower became incapacitated while on duty," the agency said. It did not identify the controller or the cause of her incapacitation.
At one point, the controller sounds sleepy and apologizes over the radio, saying she is "choking a little bit." Minutes later, she misstates an aircraft's call numbers. Finally, her microphone opens to the sound of coughing and grunting.
She does not respond to a pilot's inquiry before the sound of a male voice is heard in the room asking if the woman is all right.
"The FAA is deeply concerned by the incident, is thoroughly investigating what occurred, and is taking immediate steps to modify its overnight shift staffing policies," the agency statement said.
National Air Traffic Controllers Association chief Paul Rinaldi issued a statement praising the work of thousands of union members around the country and promising cooperation in the FAA investigation "so that all of the facts are known."

The Buck Sexton Show
President Trump Calls Trudeau "Two-Faced" After Viral Video Surfaces
posted by R.J. Johnson - @rickerthewriter - Dec 4, 2019
President Donald Trump didn't hold back when he was asked about viral video footage of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apparently making fun of him with several other world leaders during a reception Wednesday night.
The 25-second clip featured Trudeau speaking with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte laughing over Trump's behavior during a lengthy press conference at the NATO summit on Tuesday went viral overnight. Microphones only picked up small portions of the conversation, which began with Johnson asking Macron why he was late.
Macron's answer can't be heard, but he can be seen nodding as Trudeau commented that the French president was late "because he takes a ... 40-minute press conference at the top."
Trump was asked by reporters about his reaction to Trudeau's comments on Wednesday during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"He's two-faced," Trump said. "And honestly, with Trudeau, he's a nice guy, I find him to be a very nice guy."
A spokesperson for Dutch Prime Minster Mark Rutte told CNN that they do not comment on closed door sessions with a spokesperson for Macron declining to comment, saying, "This video does not say anything special.
"The truth is I called him out on the fact that he's not paying 2% and I guess he's not very happy about it," Trump said adding "He's not paying 2% and he should be paying 2% ... I'm representing the U.S., and he should be paying more than he's paying and he understands that."
World leaders have been in the United Kingdom as part of the 70th anniversary of the North Atlantic Council.
Trump announced in a tweet Wednesday morning that he and his team would be leaving the anniversary meeting after his scheduled meetings conclude today.

Then my hostess Mieke and I sauntered out to Greenwich. Why Greenwich? Well, my lad and lassies, let me tell you a tale. Many years ago my sister married an Irish fellow in London, and I flew out there to do the brotherly in-law thing an attend the wedding. While there I met and dated a young Irish lass who, as it turned out, was a bartender at the Mitre pub in Greenwich. So I ended up spending much of time in that very pub. Days after I went home to Canada, young Pamela informed me that she had placed a photo of us behind the bar in public view.
All right then. Off to the pub with me, then tomorrow brings my lingering hours in London, a rendezvous with fellow gorilla hunter Andrew and a flight to UGANDA!

A Nation in the Red (Hardcover)
The Government Debt Crisis and What We Can Do about It
By Murray Holland
McGraw-Hill Education, 9780071829793, 277pp.
Our government debt is rising every day. Our population is shifting as more people retire and fewer are able to find work. Our social programs, including the Affordable Care Act, are only adding to our financial burden, and rising taxes are hindering economic growth. We are a nation in the red.
A powerful wake-up call to leaders, investors, and citizens, this brilliantly researched book reveals the surprising truth about our national debt--and what we can do about it.
How reckless spending by Congress has created a debt trap
How Obamacare will negatively affect health care costs and our economy
How Social Security really works--and why it's unsustainable in its current form
How changing interest rates could spell disaster for the United States
What America can learn from Europe's economic woes
What could happen if the United States defaults on its loans
What our government needs to do now to save us from collapse
What you can do to protect yourself and your family
Written in clear, concise language and backed with ample data and sometimes shocking facts, A Nation in the Red presents a reasoned, straightforward approach to one of the most controversial issues of our time. You'll discover the fascinating psychological reasons that have helped create our debt trap, the staggering price of FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society, and the real cost of entitlement programs like Medicare, Social Security, and welfare. You'll learn about the 2,200 federal programs that we're all paying for--and the truth about Bush-era tax cuts versus Obama's tax hikes. You'll also discover how the five most obvious ways to reduce debt may--or may not--be the solution to our country's problems.
And most importantly, you'll learn how to protect your own wealth from the next financial crisis.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR A NATION IN THE RED

He has the knowledge to understand the extent of our problems and the wisdom to advise how to get out of the government debt trap." -- Christopher Mahoney, retired Vice Chairman, Moody's Investors Service
"A Nation in the Red is a must read to get a vivid picture of where our country is on the slippery slope to financial disaster and what must be done to reverse this fatal direction, creating a path to recovery and a promising future." -- Jeff Heller, retired President and Chief Operating Officer, Electronic Data Systems Corporation
"Murray Holland has an uncanny sense for business management, finance, and markets, both domestically and internationally. If he speaks, listen.

His vision has consistently--in some cases unfortunately--been right." -- John Waller, Chairman, Waller Capital Corporation
"A Nation in the Red is a complete, sophisticated review of all the economic, business, and currency issues we are facing now that the United States has one of the worst debt problems in the world. Murray Holland accurately analyzes our very few options for how we can get out of the trap our government has put us in. Read it " -- Ray Washburne, Finance Chairman, Republican National Committee

Girlguiding hit the national news last month. For the first time in decades, a new programme was revealed to the nation, parents, and leaders. After 18 months of research, trials, and focus groups by Girlguiding Headquarters, the organisation revealed a new 21st-century ready programme! Girls' interests have evolved over the years so it is only right the programme acknowledges the change in interests. It's hard to believe there was ever an Empire Knowledge, Dairymaid or Radio Communicator badge back in the day.
This is the biggest overhaul in the 100-year history of the organisation and will affect the 500.000 members in the UK. Changes include new interest badges, skills builders, anniversary badges and awards. As a Rainbow and Brownie leader, any big change can be scary but we have a year before old resources are obsolete to ease ourselves into it! Here's what we know so far.
Spanning Rainbows to Rangers, the new activities and badges are built around six core themes. The first three focus on the individual. The second three focus on connecting with other people and exploring the world.
For each of these themes, there are lots to work towards – interest badges, skills builders, group activities and awards.
Over 800 new badges have been launched across the four strands of Girlguiding (Rainbows, Brownies, Guides & Rangers). For the first time ever Rainbows (5-7 year olds) and Rangers (after Guides) can attain interest badges outside of the unit.
Some of the old favourite Brownie badges such as Cook (now Baker) have been given a makeover so not all completely unfamiliar. New badges such as Vlogging & Coding will certainly appeal to the little Hoopsters!
For Rainbows, there are 12 interest badges which include Animal Lover, Agility & Healthy Mind designed to be completed outside of the home. I am not sure how many of the girls in my unit will take them up but will be interesting to see.
Skills Builders are completely new and they are earned by working in a group. Different levels of skills builder badges can be worked on depending which stage of Girlguiding you are at – and the stages get more challenging as you go through. I have bought a couple of packs of these to get us started.
Once girls have earned a certain number of interest and skills builder badges for one particular theme, you can work towards getting a special theme award. Girls can earn all six theme awards, and a final challenge to get a Brownie or Guide Gold award.
These will be given to girls on the anniversary of the day they joined Girlguiding. At present we give our birthday number badges so imagine that we will use these instead as it's a great way of building up loyalty I have to admit I'm not sure how these will be calculated but hoping that the computer system 'Go' will be able to keep me right!
I think any change can be scary but know that myself and the other ladies in my guiding team are keen to embrace the change. I sometimes think Girlguiding expects too much from leaders in terms of administration and hope once we are in the swing of it everything will make sense. At the moment i'm not sure what we will do about new badge and handbooks as they are expensive, but will maybe look to provide each girl with once next year. Would love to know what other leaders are doing regarding books?
There are currently 70,000 girls on waiting lists to join guiding groups across the country. In our area Gosforth we are desperate for new units to plug the gap. Take a look on the Girlguiding website www.girlguiding.org.uk for more information. You will be joining at an exciting time of change!
Next article Trapped in a room with an Alpha Male!
OMG there's a vlogging and programming badge! How times have changed! I bet they don't have the Homekeeper badge (or whatever it was called!) any more! I remember going to a hotel with the Brownies to learn how to make beds, and we had to do loads of washing up!
Awww hope she enjoyed it! We had 5 new starters tonight. They were great!
It makes more sense linking the badges through.

Get Dirty by Gretchen McNeil
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars in Gretchen McNeil's witty and suspenseful sequel to Get Even. The members of Don't Get Mad aren't just mad anymore . . . they're afraid. And with Margot in a coma and Bree under house arrest, it's up to Olivia and Kitty to try to catch their deadly tormentor. But just as the girls are about to go on the offensive, Ed the Head reveals a shocking secret that turns all their theories upside down. The killer could be anyone, and this time he—or she—is out for more than just revenge.
The girls desperately try to discover the killer's identity as their personal lives are falling apart: Donté is pulling away from Kitty and seems to be hiding a secret of his own, and Olivia's mother is on an emotional downward spiral. The killer is closing in, the threats are becoming more personal, and when the police refuse to listen, the girls have no choice but to confront their anonymous friend . . . or die trying.

Q: Dynamically create filters based on object fields In my visualforce page I am showing various fields from Account page where user can input values and search for matching accounts.
Is it possible to create these filters dynamically, may be using describe sobject query. So that all fields come automatically on vf page

A: Depending on what you want to do, there are a couple of solutions.
If you want to display all Account fields I would suggest using getDescribe().fields.getMap().keySet() and then iterating over the result in an apex:repeat to build you page.
public with sharing class SearchPageController
{
    public final Account anAccount { get; set; }
    public List<String> searchFields { get; private set; }

    public SearchPageController()
    {
        anAccount = new Account();
        searchFields = new List<String>(Account.getSObjectType().getDescribe().fields.getMap().keySet());
    }
}

Then on your page (you'll want to adjust the 'look and feel', as this example doesn't look great!):
<apex:page controller="SearchPageController">
    <apex:form>
        <apex:repeat value="{!searchFields}" var="field">
            <apex:outputText value="{!field}"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!anAccount[field]}"/>

        </apex:repeat>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

You can then use the values stored within the Account object inside your controller to build your dynamic SOQL query for your search.

If you only want to display some of the fields on Account then I would suggest using Field Sets, in which case you need to change your controller to something like the following:
public with sharing class SearchPageController
{
    public final Account anAccount { get; set; }
    public List<String> searchFields { get; private set; }

    public SearchPageController()
    {
        anAccount = new Account();
        searchFields = new List<String>();

        for(Schema.FieldSetMember f : SObjectType.Account.FieldSets.YourFieldSet.getFields())
        {
            searchFields.add(f.getFieldPath());
        }
    }
}

OR, you can change your apex:repeat to use the Field Set directly.
<apex:page controller="SearchPageController">
    <apex:form>
        <apex:repeat value="{!$ObjectType.Account.FieldSets.YourFieldSet}" var="field">
            <apex:outputText value="{!field.Label}"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!anAccount[field]}"/>

        </apex:repeat>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Again, you can then use the values stored within the Account object inside your controller to build your dynamic SOQL query (or whatever you're using) for your search.

A: Have you looked into Dynamic Visualforce Components. These will allow you to construct page components based on many varying factors, one of which could be in response to use input.

Our Convertible Wish List
It seems that this time of year, everyone is making their holiday wish lists. And after hearing from Jalopnik that a Chinese investor ordered for 100 Tesla Model S cars to be transformed into convertibles by Newport Convertible Engineering, it had us thinking: what other cars would we convert? Or to the same token as the recently revived VW Beetle Convertible, which long retired models would we bring back? Although none of these would fit under our Christmas trees, today we dare to dream!
Datsun/ Nissan 240Z
In 2013, Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand, and ever since we have been hoping for a revival of the Z-series vehicles. First launched in the US in 1969, the 240Z quickly became a favorite for sports car enthusiasts thanks to its combination of sleek lines and powerful performance. Subsequent models were released in 1974 and 1975, but was eventually phased out with the introduction of the Nissan 280ZX in 1978. Although the 280ZXs came equipped with T-tops, automobile roofs with removable panels on each side, we can't help but fantasize about what the original models would have looked like in convertible form.
The famous Dodge Challenger has always been known as one of the most iconic American muscle cars. In the 1970s, it was available either as a hardtop coupe, or in a convertible body design. Since being unveiled at the 2006 Detroit Motor Show, the third generation Challenger has been praised for taking many design cues from its 1970 predecessor. However, while Dodge has released multiple updates to the vehicle, including an 8-speed automatic transmission and a revamped exterior that likens the new model even more to the older versions, Dodge has yet to release a convertible version. With many awards to the Dodge Challenger's name since being reintroduced, now seems like to perfect time to make that update!
Mercedes 450SEL 6.9
While German automakers are not known for prioritizing nostalgia in their new car designs, the 450SEL is one we are surprised not to see more echoes of today. Mercedes Benz is still known for its S-Class vehicles (short for "Sonderklasse," German for "special class"), but today's designs are radically different than that of their predecessors. When released in 1974, it was billed as the flagship of Mercedes' luxury car line and was a true pioneer as one of the first vehicles to be produced with anti-lock brakes and a self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension system. While the S-Class vehicles are still popular to this day, we would love to see what the 450SEL 6.9 would look like with the top down.
Which cars would you love to see reintroduced or rereleased as a convertible? Let us know in the comments!

HomeWhat can we learn from Uber's UX: dark or otherwise?PostsWhat can we learn from Uber's UX: dark or otherwise?
What can we learn from Uber's UX: dark or otherwise?
26th September 2017 at 12:35
Lara Williams, Editor-at-large
Uber revolutionised the taxi service with its super sleek UX and innovative concept. But as we stand on the verge of saying goodbye to the app in London, the dark side of Uber has come to light.
For many Londoners, Friday brought terrible news. TfL will not renew Uber's cab license – meaning that in a few months, convenient and cheap rides could be no more. The app completely disrupted the taxi industry, much to the chagrin of traditional black cab drivers everywhere. Cheaper, safer*, and far more convenient, Uber seduced 40,000 drivers and 3.5 million regular users in London alone over to their app. It wasn't even just the taxi industry that Uber made waves in. The whole idea of pressing a button and getting a ride changed our expectations of the world and the way we consume. From Uber came similar models – Airbnb, Deliveroo and many more. However, 2017 has been an increasingly bad year for Uber – rife with controversy, accusations and a dark, manipulative side to their UX. But what can we learn from them?
Making Complex, Simple
The 'magic' of Uber, to not shy away from clichés, lies in the simplicity of it's UX, or rather – the way it makes something very complex, seem simple for the user. The complicated logistics of connecting rider to roaming drivers (imagine how much more complicated this gets with UberPool) is hidden behind a clean, intuitive interface. The user simply presses a button and, as if summoned with sorcery, a car will appear.
Source: Uber
From start to finish the process is frictionless, and even fun. Garret Camp, co-founder, first had the inkling of idea when watching Casino Royale. In the film, James Bond is driving and glances down at a graphical image of his car moving towards his destination. This image made its way into the centrepiece of the app's experience. Users can watch their car head over to pick them up, and monitor their journey. Not only is this entertaining, but it keeps the user in the loop – at no point is anyone left unaware of what's happening. This alone is a vast improvement on the mystery of an ordered cab. Is it on it's way? Is this really the most direct route? That's not to mention the safety aspect. While this has been debated furiously (opposers citing poor background checks and the concealment of criminal offences) – there's no doubt being able to track and share your car's journey with a friend or family member is a reassuring feature, one that's missing from taking a traditional black cab. Passengers rate drivers, drivers rate passengers. This is, again, a reassuring UX feature and also ensures the positive user experience is carried over into the physical experience of riding and driving the taxi. If both you and the taxi driver are under scrutiny, it'll encourage mutual good behaviour and a nice ride for all.
Yet friction does exist within Uber – that is, between the app and its drivers. To combat it, Uber adopted a dark side to its sleek and shiny UX. While the UX that faces the consumer could do no wrong, drivers face manipulative patterns. The less cars on the road, the more business (and money) the drivers can get. The more cars on the road, the more money Uber can make. And as each driver can pick and choose when they want to work – there's no guarantee enough cars will be on the roads when they need them. This lack of control could jeopardise a company whose sole aim is to transport as many people as they can, 24/7. So to keep more drivers working longer, they started experimenting with dark UX, including a UX strategy called gamification. Using video game techniques, drivers are psychologically manipulated into extending their driving hours. For example, messages of encouragement will pop up at certain points – whether that's halfway to achieving their 25-ride signing bonus, or to tell the driver they're close to earning a target sum of money – "You're £10 away from earning £100, are you sure you want to go offline?". These messages are warm and positive, but are lifted straight out of the video game user experience. Encouragement towards a concrete goal motivates people to keep going, and it's addictive. Chelsea Howe, a video game designer, told the NYTimes that: "It's getting you to internalise the company's goals…Internalised motivation is the most powerful kind."

Uber's London Demise
Ultimately is was partly this, or the company's manipulative nature, that was the undoing of Uber. TfL has previously instructed Uber to give drivers better treatment and questioned the use of 'Greyball'. 'Greyball' is a software program that, according to the TfL statement: "could be used to block regulatory bodies from gaining full access to the app and prevent officials from undertaking regulatory or law enforcement duties." Uber denies using it to block regulators in London, but the existence of it in the first place simply acts as more ammunition in TfL's 'not fit and proper' argument. Whether you agree with Uber's practises or not – there's no denying that we can learn a lot from them about the power of good UX. Their UX has successfully been rolled out to much success over 84 countries – the simplicity and design making sense in a variety of languages and cultures. And the dark side of the Uber experience, while arguably distasteful, kept drivers on the road and rider's wait times down. Whether they successfully appeal or not, other apps – whether transport-based or otherwise – can take a page out of Uber's book (but perhaps learn from their mistakes.)

He is set to become the 3rd saint from the Philippines: Meet Teofilo Camomot
MSGR. Teofilo Bastida Camomot | Facebook | Fair Use
Larry Peterson - published on 11/30/19
Though an archbishop his health required he return to ministry as a parish priest; he embraced this mission with love
Teofilo (the name means "Lover of God") Camomot was born on March 3, 1914, in Talisay, Cebu, which is located in the center of the Philippines. He was the third child of Luis Camomot and Angela Bastida, who would eventually have eight children together. Teofilo was baptized the day after his birth and received his Confirmation one year later, on March 4, 1915.
Teofilo grew up in an environment supervised by gentle, loving, and religious parents. He was liked by almost everyone who met him, and his kind and caring manner left an impression on people. Upon finishing elementary school, Teofilo decided he wanted to work on his father's farm. He also chose to attend school to become an agriculturist.
But his mom was sure this was not his calling. She recognized something spiritual within her son and wanted him to nurture it. He showed a natural and empathetic love and compassion toward the poor and downtrodden, and she thought he might consider religious life. He was frequently gathering food and rice to give to those in need.
Her prayers and the fact that Teofilo's older brother was already a priest helped direct Teofilo to the seminary. The young man entered the Seminary of San Carlos in Cebu in 1932. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 14, 1941, one week after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because of the outbreak of the war, he had to celebrate his first Mass at home instead of in his parish.
Father Camomot was assigned to St. Teresa Parish in Talisay, Cebu, in 1943. He lived very simply, only using the basics to get by. His austerity was an example for all the parishioners, and so were his actions. Each day, before celebrating Mass, he would visit the sick, and in addition to giving them Holy Communion, would tend to their personal needs the best he could. They all came to love the young priest.
Father Camomot served at St. Teresa's Parish for 12 years. Then, on March 25, 1955, things changed dramatically for Father Camomot. He was appointed the Titular Bishop of Clisma and the Auxiliary Bishop of Jaro, Iloilo. He was consecrated bishop on May 29, 1955. Even though he was now a bishop, he still continued visiting the sick and feeding the poor. His humility was an example for all in his diocese.
He was a favorite wherever he went. His caring ways and loving heart drew many to him. People wanted to be near him. They could feel the spirituality that surrounded him. One of his close friends, Msgr. Jose B. Buenaflor of La Paz, Iloilo, said, "He was a saintly man – devoted to prayer, to meditation, to conversion. [He was] a serious person, even while mingling with other priests… He was very charitable…Every time the poor went to him, he gave with all his heart…"
In 1959, Bishop Camomot was sent to the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro as the coadjutor archbishop. It was during this time that he expanded evangelization capabilities by forming communities dedicated to evangelizing. He founded the Pauline Faith Defenders and the Carmelite Tertiaries of the Blessed Eucharist. These would be the forerunners of the Daughters of Saint Teresa.
Archbishop Camomot participated in the Second Vatican Council, attending four different sessions from 1962 through 1965. The archbishop had suffered from kidney problems and in 1968 had to have surgery. His recovery time required him to resign as the coadjutor archbishop, and he was sent back to Cebu in 1970. Julio Cardinal Rosales assigned him back to his hometown of Carcar, Cebu, as a parish priest (he was still an archbishop) where, once again, his humility, generosity, and love for those less fortunate shined through. He saw the face of Christ in everyone
Wherever Archbishop Teofilo Camomot had gone during his life, he touched the hearts and souls of all who came in contact with him. He possessed the spiritual gifts of healing, reading hearts, and some even say they witnessed acts of bilocation.
Sadly, on September 27, 1988, while returning home, he was killed in a vehicular accident. He was 74 years old.
He has been declared a "Servant of God" and his cause for sainthood is with the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
Servant of God Teofilo Camomot, pray for us.


It wasn't long after reading Howard's moving essay that I began picturing a picture book, a story told entirely through sticky notes. Skip, the biracial daughter of a single mother, dreads her first trip to an overnight camp. A grandmother and a family cat were added to the mix. Qin Leng's wonderful illustrations reveal how a deep-rooted love between a mother and daughter sprouts in the most unlikely places: on an empty milk carton, on a fish bowl, beside a plate of biscuits. Sometimes, a few scribbled words carry the soothing weight of a sonnet.
Qin Leng's watercolor illustrations are the perfect complement to Emil Sher's simple text. This nuanced story about a parent and child's unconventional way of connecting is full of humor and affection. Young readers will enjoy spotting Lester the cat as he paws his way into the story.
Love is in the air! It's Valentine's Day and we're celebrating with The King of the Birds.
In The King of the Birds, inspired by the life of Flannery O'Connor, a young fan of fowl brings home a peacock to be the king of her collection, but he refuses to show off his colorful tail. The girl goes to great lengths to encourage the peacock to display his plumage — she throws him a party, lets him play in the fig tree, feeds him flowers and stages a parade — all to no avail.
Then she finally stumbles on the perfect solution. When she introduces the queen of the birds — a peahen — to her collection, the peacock immediately displays his glorious shimmering tail. This delightful story, full of humor and heart, celebrates the legacy of a great American writer.

The need for states to exercise effective control over international arms transfers is universally accepted. Such controls play an essential role in preventing illicit transfers of conventional arms, including small arms and light weapons (SALW). States have also adopted a wide range of national, regional, multilateral and international commitments concerning the need to avoid supplying arms that might exacerbate an ongoing conflict, contribute to destabilizing weapons build-ups, or be used in violations of human rights and international humanitarian law.
However, not all states subscribe to these principles and—among those that do—economic and political concerns continue to play an important role in decision-making, leading to cases where standards are ignored or watered-down.
SIPRI's work on arms export controls focuses on efforts at the national, regional and international level to develop and strengthen laws, regulations and standards in this area, as well as broader efforts to combat illicit trafficking, particularly of SALW. These efforts include the development and implementation of national laws and regulations, United Nations and European Union arms embargoes, the EU Common Position on Arms Exports, the Wassenaar Arrangement, the UN Programme of Action on SALW, and the Arms Trade Treaty.

BBReview: "Bonfire Academy 1: Initiation" By Imogen Rose
Genre: Young Adult: Paranormal/Romance/Fantasy
Publishing Date: December 25th, 2011
Source: Sent to me by the author
Format: E-Book
Description from Goodreads.com:
Welcome to Bonfire Academy! Set in the foothills of the alpine mountains in St.Moritz, this exclusive private school caters to a special kind of student. Enter at your own risk... but if you are human, you may not want to enter at all.
WARNING: This YA story is set in a school for paranormals who are very different from normal human teens. Thus, the language and some scenes might not be appropriate for younger YA readers. Recommended for those sixteen and above.
As soon and I read the description that Imogen Rose sent me when she asked me to review Initiation I knew I was really going to like this story, because I absolutely love books that take place at private schools and I absolutely love paranormals, so combining the two is definitely a winning combination for me.
The characters were all very well done, as well as the pacing. I never felt like things were too rushed except for the very beginning. Something happens in the first few pages and then never gets fully explained and I felt like there should have eventually been an explanations, but I guess it was at the bottom of Cordelia's list of things to do with everything else going on.
The one thing that I really loved about this book is that there is so much going on that it keeps you hooked, because you want to know what happens next in all these storylines. One track storylines are great, but multiple storylines in one book are awesome. I couldn't wait to turn the page and find out what was going to happen next with Faustine's development, or what was going to happen with someone's brother, or what Cordelia was going to do about her love life. Each page I got closer and closer to finding everything out until the end came and I still didn't have all the answers.
The ending was done very well. It wrapped up some things and left others open to be continued in the next books, which I cannot wait to read. I did feel like it was definitely a cliffhanger, but I didn't feel like it was one of those earth shattering/life ruining cliffhangers where you need the next book immediately in fear you will die.
There was only one thing I really didn't like, which is why it's not a 5 star review. It's that beginning scene that I mentioned was rushed. This scene causes there to be a love triangle.
*small spoiler*
I have conflicting views on love triangles, I like them when both guys are well aware of each other and are "competing" for her, but I don't like it when they aren't aware of each other and one is already with the girl causing there to be slight or full blown cheating happening. In Initiation, only one of the guys is aware of the other and it causes cheating to happen. I really like the guy, and want them to work out, but Cordelia needs to figure it out and not string the other guy along. Cordelia does tell us that it is rare for paranormals to be faithful, but at the same time she seems like the type to try and be faithful.
*end of spoiler*
At the end of the book I still really, really liked it and I will definitely be continuing with the series.
I really, truly enjoyed this book. The characters were all very unique with their own special abilities and personalities. I absolutely loved that this story took place in a private school for paranormals, such a great combo for my personal tastes. The pacing was also very well done and even though this book is on the longer side, it never felt like it was a long book, because so much is happening. There was only one thing I didn't like, which had to do with the love triangle, but I don't want to put in any spoilers. So just know I loved the love triangle, but at the same time I didn't. Overall, really great story and I will definitely continue with the series!
Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 4/5

Tropea Castle was a castle in Tropea in Vibo Valentia province of Calabria in southern Italy. In 1725, one of four towers of the castle was damaged, and the entire castle was finally destroyed in 1876, by Carlo Toraldo with explosives. On 8 July 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars, 400 Polish soldiers surrendered at Tropea Castle to the captain of HMS Apollo.

Your 20s are an important time. We're told the personal and professional choices you make during this decade set the foundation of your adult life.
A good problem you're likely to face is which job to take: The one that promises security or the one that promises experience? The higher-paid one or the one with fast growth opportunity?
Or, your significant other wants to move across the country to pursue her dreams — do you quit your new job, pack up and follow her? Or do you follow your dreams, even when they're hazy and sometimes change by the time you wake up?
These choices can't be made with a simple pros and cons list. You can find yourself longing for a crystal ball that can make the decision for you.
Staring down my late 20s, I had already faced a fair share of these complicated decisions. One of the most recent came three years after college graduation. I was 25, leading an internal sales consultancy at a publicly traded company. I was fairly happy, well-paid and had opportunities rare for someone my age. Even though I wasn't looking for a new job, I received an offer to work for a small healthcare startup.
After endless conversations with peers and mentors, dozens of pro/con lists and multiple sleepless nights, I made the first instinct-driven decision of my career.
I'm still unable to provide a definitive reason why, but I vividly remember launching from bed at 1:47 a.m. knowing I had to take the new job offer. Despite the advice of friends and family, I accepted the position.
A year later, I still work for that startup. And I love it. We provide healthcare organizations with a predictive modeling platform by analyzing their data to help clinicians make the best decisions for their patients. Fundamentally, these models help assess and weigh risks.
Wouldn't a predictive model like this be useful for those big decisions in our early careers?
1. Does it motivate you to learn something new?
We've long been instructed to specialize — college majors, career trajectories, company ladders, etc. But specializing early at the expense of cultivating experience and contextual knowledge can limit your potential and stunt your self-discovery.
A familiar, comfortable job in a young career can be insidious. If an option you're weighing will challenge you to stretch your concept of career, your long-term professional benefit will likely outweigh the short-term risk.
2. Does it push you to learn something about yourself?
Relative to risk, there's usually no better time for self-discovery through work than your 20s. When considering a new opportunity, give more weight to the exploration and development possibilities of the role, rather than the job title or immediate responsibilities. Your early career experiences should give you room to grow and try something new.
My intended path was within the entertainment industry. I may never have discovered my passion for healthcare, technology and analysis without an openness to explore it.
Remain open to opportunities outside your original vision of career. You may have a hidden talent or interest that's waiting to be discovered.
3. Does it scare you, just a little?
We grow most from those moments and experiences that force us to stretch beyond our limits. (Click here to tweet this thought.) Be unapologetically ambitious, even when logic and security suggest an alternate route.
4. Does it scare your friends and family, just a little more?
Naturally, those who love you most want to protect you. Because of that instinct, they may steer you towards a safe choice to limit your risk of loss or failure. Although their intentions are pure, their influence can be stifling.
If your near-and-dear are directing you away from an opportunity, consider the loving biases that they carry. Many times, the best decisions for our personal and professional growth are difficult for others to understand.
5. Does it change the way you evaluate success?
If you only measure your success by 401k balances, promotions and bonuses, you've mistakenly focused your attention on byproducts instead of the personal and professional experience along the way.
Give yourself opportunities to find what's meaningful to you, and give yourself room to grow your ideas of success.
6. Will it surround you with passionate people?
Passion is contagious and powerful. Surround yourself with energy and innovation, and you'll adopt the same vigor.
That fervent energy transforms our world every day. If you're deliberating what's best for you, consider the people who will teach you when you get there.
7. Does it excite you to talk about it?
Notice if you can't stop rambling to your friends and family about the opportunity in question. It means something! Enthusiasm and buy-in is critical in an opportunity's potential success.
Tally the number of times the opportunity organically comes to mind. Pay attention to what you're thinking. Is it the experience? Earnings potential? Outcomes? There's no wrong answer, but understanding your own drivers and interests will give you insight into what's most important about your potential next step.
With every decision, embrace the privilege that you can chart your own path. But also allow that path early in your career to help shape you, too.
