First, apologies if this shouldn't be its own post - I didn't see anything posted yet for the "new" 2018 calculator, nor addressing these specific issues in the previous versions.
The newly updated Salary Calculator is interesting, but I'm wondering if the "education" and "years of experience" components could/ought to be more specific.
Do the salary models assume relevant degrees? Or is it enough that you have a degree to prove you are organized and mature enough to complete work at that particular level?
I have a BS and MA, but neither is related to programming. I've taken some relevant undergrad math/CS/engineering classes and am currently working as a full-stack mobile app & web developer, but I don't yet have a CS degree. So what do I choose?
It would be helpful to clarify the model's assumptions on this point, so users could answer appropriately and get more accurate salary estimates.
Does "years of experience" refer to my current position & skills?
Or does it refer, as one might expect, to career experience in the field overall?
I have anywhere from 0.5 to 15 years of experience depending which subset of my career history and skill sets I choose to focus on, and how I decide to define my 'experience'. Is the model assuming I have the same 'X'yrs of experience across the board in all of the languages and skills I list? That wouldn't be accurate either.
Knowing more specifically how "experience" is defined by & used in the salary models would also help people determine how to answer & get more accurate estimates.
Finally: just a note that the salary expectations (for a range of education & experience choices) seem rather inflated compared to stats for my current city on Glassdoor, Indeed and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2017 data). I'm on the low end of "median" for my area (hooray underpaid state govt!) according to all of the above, but this calculator shows me not even breaking into the bottom quartile. Is this a function of job posting salary ranges low-balling applicants? Or is the salary data itself not quite accurate?
I am quite sympathetic to these concerns, as I've been paid to code in some form since the late 1990s but have had the title "data scientist" for <5 years. How many "years of professional experience" should I claim? These definitions are cut and dried for very few developers.
The data used for the modeling in the Salary Calculator is from the 2018 Developer Survey. You can check out the responses for years of professional coding experience and formal education for yourself to understand how our respondents understood these questions. Especially notice what the underlying distributions are and how your own characteristics might result in some variation there.

Budding writers have a chance to learn from Susanna Daniel and fellow Madisonian Michelle Wildgen (author of You're Not You, But Not for Long and the forthcoming Bread and Butter) through their new joint venture, the Madison Writers' Studio. Classes begin this fall at both authors' homes and will include narrative nonfiction and two levels of fiction writing.
Daniel says she and Wildgen felt Madison lacked intimate, craft-centered writing workshops where would-be authors could engage in a sustained, constructive critique of each other's work and of published work. They're attempting to fill a gap between 15-week university courses and shorter weekend or weeklong intensives. She points to places like the Loft in Minneapolis and similar writing centers in Chicago and Boston as models.
Most Madison Writers' Studio classes will run eight weeks and be limited to six to eight participants. Daniel, who has previously taught at Madison College and the UW, will also lead a "Novel in a Year" workshop designed to guide writers to a complete, well-structured draft of a novel in just 12 months.
"When you're writing all day in your own little hovel, you learn a lot about writing, and you want to share it. I'm desperate to get back in the classroom," she says with a laugh.

Alabama Couple Allegedly Killed Man's Second Wife and Family Members After She Learned of His Bigamy: Reports
Christopher Henderson and his wife Rhonda Carlson allegedly killed the man's other wife and other family members in 2015

An Alabama husband and wife are facing more than a dozen murder charges after allegedly killing five people and setting a home on fire in 2015, PEOPLE confirms.
According to reports, one victim was the man's wife, who filed for divorce after learning of his alleged bigamy.
Christopher Henderson, 42, was recently indicted on 19 capital murder charges while 44-year-old Rhonda Carlson was indicted on 18, an official with the Madison County District Attorney's Office tells PEOPLE. They were also charged with first-degree arson under one of the murder charges.
Henderson and Carlson, who are married, killed Kristen Smallwood, 35, the spokesperson says. According to AL.com, Smallwood was his second wife and was nine months pregnant.
The pair allegedly shot or stabbed Kristen to death, the publication reports. They allegedly cut Smallwood's unborn baby from her womb and stabbed the infant multiple times, AL reports, citing court documents.
An investigator told the publication that Henderson spoke with them in jail in the wake of the incident, saying, "I'm glad you caught me when you did, because I couldn't live with what I've done."

Henderson and Smallwood were in the process of divorcing at the time, according to WAFF. She had reportedly filed a restraining order against him.
Surveillance footage allegedly showed the couple entering Carol's home with a gas can and leaving before the flames erupted, according to the station. Authorities also reportedly found a gun in Carlson's truck.
Along with Kristen and Loryn, the suspects are accused of killing Kristen's 8-year-old son, Clayton Chambers; Kristen's mother, Carol Smallwood, 67 and Kristen's 1-year-old nephew Eli Sokolowski, according to AL and the spokesperson.
Police told the publication that Sokolowski was stabbed but ultimately died of asphyxia as a result of the fire at Carol's home. Chambers was stabbed to death and Carol was fatally shot, according to court documents obtained by WAFF.
It is unclear whether Henderson and Carlson have entered pleas to the charges. Henderson's attorney, Bruce Gardner, did not respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE. It is unclear whether Carlson has retained an attorney.

As any serious genealogist will tell you, a visit to a cemetery can provide a wealth of family history information. But it can be much more than that. Each year as we approach All Souls Day (November 2), the season presents an opportunity to renew and maintain family connections, just by walking through a cemetery.
Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Union Grove, Wisconsin.
One of the most touching scenes I've encountered was at a small cemetery in Augsburg, Germany. Walking past after dark, I looked through the small gate to see dozens of flickering vigil candles. These were not solar lights but real candles. Someone cared enough to visit there each night and light the votives.
A 20-minute walk through any cemetery will provide you access to family stories. Parents who lived long, full lives. Others who died much too young. Babies, some just one day old. Some who were never born. John and Jane Does, victims of murder. And in many older cemeteries, some of the departed rest with no visible monuments. Their markers were damaged or swallowed up in soft ground or by encroaching woods.
This anchor-themed monument is at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Portage, Wisconsin.
Observe the different monuments. Some are massive obelisks, others plain, square markers. A few are made from unusual materials. Some display incredible artistry. In many German cemeteries you will see monuments with engraved hands pointing to Heaven. Angels, crosses and even anchors are common subject of monument carvings.
Oak Grove Cemetery in Eagle, Wisconsin, is itself a monument to neglect.
Some cemeteries are known more for their infamy, such as Oak Grove Cemetery in Eagle, Wisconsin. We chronicled that story earlier in "A Sad Resting Place for Little Ida." It is sad to see a cemetery fall into neglect and disrepair. It's especially angering when a cemetery is targeted by vandals. A few years back, thugs toppled more than 100 monuments at Calvary Cemetery and Old Holy Cross Cemetery in Racine, Wisconsin. My Knights of Columbus council spent several weekends righting the monuments and making extensive repairs. Most of the damage was fixed, but some especially old stones were beyond repair.
John Clark and John Murphy of the Knights of Columbus repair vandalized monuments in Racine, Wisconsin.
Military cemeteries and the graves of soldiers are especially touching. I recall walking row after row of World War I grave markers in Ypres, Belgium, where the famous poem In Flanders Fields was composed in 1915. All of those young lives cut short by "the war to end all wars." Such sacrifice. World War I cemeteries dot the landscape in Belgium; some in the middle of farm fields.

While our loved ones are gone, they can teach us still. There are great resources available to help you find where your relatives are buried. My favorite online database is the Find A Grave web site. Take a camera along on your next trip to the cemetery and help your fellow genealogists document history.

Your posting regarding cemeteries was excellent. Another blogger's post, http://johnknifton.com/2014/11/11/this-sepulchre-of-crime/, tells the story of World War I through its cemeteries. You might find it interesting.
Thank you. I will check out your link. I was moved when visiting Belgium at the number and placement of WWI cemeteries.

Say Anything - Hebrews // Limited to 1300 Blue Vinyl LP
Say Anything is back, and with one of their most ambitious albums to date. Recorded in the order in which they were written, the twelve songs of this semi-autobiographical work (but then again, what song by lead singer Max Bemis isn't semi-autobiographical?) are equally split up into pre and post baby thoughts from the new dad. The album, recorded with no guitars and heavily featuring full orchestral arrangements, features a slew of guest singers, including his wife Sherri DuPree (of Eisley fame), Tom Delonge (blink-182), Matt Pryor (Get Up Kids) and more.
Say Anything is one of those bands that I have continued to love, all through the transformation from an angsty/self-deprecating collection of amazing songs on "Is a Real Boy" to a man searching for answers in the self-titled "Say Anything" to their latest release "Anarchy, My Dear" and if their new track is any indication, the love won't end there.

1. Spatial: the total area considered for the development of Arctic civilisational tourism comprises 1,701 thousand sq. km, or 55.2% of the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
2. Socio-cultural: the area is inhabited by 8.2% of the population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), dispersed throughout the vast territories of the Arctic in a focal-dispersive manner in small settlements with a population of 200 to 500 people, preserving in many respects the northern indigenous cultures.
3. Consumer potential: among the travel enthusiasts there is a category of tourists —"humanists" — the people aged 30 to 65 who go for comprehending a new social and cultural experience, immersing themselves in an authentic environment of traditional way of life.
The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) has enormous natural recreational resources, a unique cultural and historical potential for the development of a new type of civilisational tourism.


St. Bede relies on the leadership and expertise of dedicated volunteers who advise the pastor on key areas of parish operation, including financial matters and long-term planning. For two of these groups – the Parish Pastoral Council and the Parish Finance Council –- new members are appointed by the pastor. The third group, the Liturgy Planning Committee, welcomes new members who want to help enhance the celebration of Mass at St. Bede.

15 Judges Object to State Funds for Federalist Society Conference Where WI AG Brad Schimel Plugged Campaign, Praised Hate Group
Submitted by David Armiak on May 11, 2018 - 10:58am
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy, a right-wing legal association which has been helping Republican presidents and politicians pack the courts, held its "Inaugural Wisconsin Chapters Conference" amid controversy at the Monona Terrace in Madison on May 4, 2018.
Before the Madison event even got underway, a group of 15 Wisconsin judges protested the use of state resources and the awarding of judicial education credits for attendance at an event organized by a "private advocacy group with a definite political agenda," which featured a speech by Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, who is up for reelection this year.
The judges wrote to organizers of the event to ask if state money was used for a ACLU event featuring a Democratic candidate, "would the Office of State Courts financially underwrite the event and incentivize judicial attendance with credits towards the judges' mandatory continuing legal education?"
Judges Protest State Subsidy for a Political Event
The Federalist Society is a considered by many to be a highly partisan political operation. The Federalist Society's Executive Vice President, Leonard Leo, played a leading role in the nomination of Justice Neil Gorsuch and other far-right Trump court picks, and Leo has long been involved in the Judicial Crisis Network, a dark money group that spent millions on TV ads backing the Gorsuch nomination.
But on April 25, 2018, State Appeals Court Judge Brian Hagedorn sent out an email to judges encouraging them to attend the Federalist Society conference. The email indicated that mileage and meals would be reimbursed by the state and that two judicial education credits would be awarded for attendance. The program also indicated that continuing legal education credits would also be awarded to lawyers who attended.
Fifteen Wisconsin judges wrote to Hagedorn and the Judicial Education Committee in protest.
The letter, obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), states:
We find it highly inappropriate that the Office of State Courts is spending money on this event. We object that a single appellate judge – apparently a member of the Federalist Society – would broadcast this "invitation" to the bench on state email thus adding subtle pressure on circuit judges to attend. Finally, during an election year, we do not believe it is appropriate for the judicial branch to be underwriting attendance at a private event where the Attorney General, who is on the ballot in a politically partisan race, is the keynote speaker.
Schimel is a member of the Federalist Society and a dark money operation associated with the group aided Schimel's campaign in 2014. The Federalist Society's Leonard Leo was listed as a director of the Rule of Law Project, which spent $200,000 in support of Schimel late in the 2014 race, prompting a federal complaint by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Schimel also received $2,000 from Leo personally.
Hagedorn was Governor Scott Walker's chief legal counsel from 2011-2015 when CMD was forced to sue Walker for records related to his controversial changes to the "Wisconsin Idea." Walker had to be represented by his legal staff after Schimel decided not to defend the governor in the case. CMD ultimately won that suit, proving that the controversial changes were not a "drafting error" as claimed, but originated in Walker's office.
Hagedorn was a Federalist Society member in college and interned at the Alliance Defense Fund, an organization founded by leaders of the Christian Right. Today, it is called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), and members of this group were also at the event. Hagedorn is also reportedly planning a run for the Wisconsin Supreme Court against long-time Justice Shirley Abrahamson.
"The independence of the judiciary has been under especially heavy attack over the last decade from many sources," the judges wrote. "The last thing the Office of State Courts should be doing is contributing to the problem by politicizing our judicial training."
CMD confirmed with the Wisconsin Court System that the judges did in fact receive taxpayer money to attend, but was not given the details as to what exactly was covered.
Schimel Campaigns, Embraces Anti-LGBT Hate Group
The judges' concerns about the political nature of the state-subsidized event proved to be justified.
To large applause, keynote speaker Brad Schimel took the mic in front of the backdrop of Lake Monona to promote his work over the last three and a half years and to thank attendees for their involvement in the Federalist Society.
Schimel kicked off his presentation by reminding the audience that "it is an election year." He then catalogued his accomplishments in a campaign-like speech:
Act 10 still fighting, two months ago another lawsuit filed against Act 10, voter ID of course still fighting, Right to Work, still fighting sort of, mostly won on that one. The redistricting thing, we thought we'd have a decision in February and now we don't know but quite a battle and I'm very proud of the team. They really shined at the United States Supreme Court.
That Supreme Court case was Gil vs. Whitford. The U.S. Federal Court for the Western District of Wisconsin decided that Wisconsin Republicans had engaged in such egregious, hyper-partisan gerrymandering after the 2010 census that new maps must be drawn. The case is now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court and Schimel has spent hundreds of thousands in taxpayer money hiring outside lawyers to help with that case.
Schimel also discussed the "regulatory certainty" he helped to create while in office that led to companies like Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics company, setting up business in the state. Previously, Schimel boasted of being the "bag man" for Governor Walker's efforts to stifle regulations from multiple agencies at the Republican Attorneys General Association conference in January, according to a report by Maplight.
Notably, Schimel's opponent in the November 2018 race, attorney Josh Kaul, was not invited to speak, his office reports.
Schimel concluded by recognizing his "friend from the Alliance Defending Freedom" in the room and stating that his time spent at the ADF's conference last year was "some of the best time I ever spent." One Wisconsin Now, a liberal advocacy group, pointed out that the conference was at a luxury resort in California and is demanding information about that trip.
"Brad Schimel needs to come clean on why, in his official capacity as Attorney General of the state of Wisconsin, he took over $4,100 for first class travel and accommodations to appear before a hate group," said Executive Director Scot Ross, who wants Schimel's office make his remarks publicly available.
Alliance Defending Freedom Participates in State-Supported Conference
The Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) group applauded by Schimel has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which monitors neo-Nazi and other extremist groups.
SPLC reports that the ADF has "supported the recriminalization of homosexuality in the U.S. and criminalization abroad; has defended state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people abroad; has linked homosexuality to pedophilia and claims that a 'homosexual agenda' will destroy Christianity and society."
Jordan Lorence, Senior Counsel at ADF, attempted to make the case that Christianity is under attack in America and defended businesses that want to discriminate against LGBT people for religious reasons in his discussion of ADF's lawsuit pending before the U.S. Supreme Court Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. The case involves a cake maker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
Republicans Make the Best Judicial Appointments
The Federalist Society event's partisan nature was evident in panel discussions as well. The main takeaway in the panel "State and Federal Judicial Selection" was clearly that Republicans choose better judges. Carrie Severino, Chief Counsel and Policy Director for the Judicial Crisis Network, praised Trump over and over for his judicial nominations and blamed the Democrats for not confirming his nominees.
Severino, of course, made no mention of the fact that GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell orchestrated a two-year slowdown of judicial confirmations before Trump took office that left him with more than 100 seats to fill, or his unprecedented refusal to hold a confirmation vote on President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.
The Judicial Crisis Network received over $6.7 million from the mysterious Wellspring Committee in 2014 and funneled that money into judicial campaigns and elections and other activities.
Walker's Chief Legal Counsel Katie Ignatowski was given ample time on the panel to let lawyers and judges in the room know what they need to do to get a judicial appointment or nomination from the governor, including to "be in organizations like the Federalist Society." Around 25 percent of seated judges in Wisconsin have been appointed by Walker, Ignatowski noted.
Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Diane Sykes, Wisconsin Supreme Court Judges Rebecca Bradley and Daniel Kelly, and Trump's highly controversial nominee for the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, Michael Brennan, were all in attendance at the inaugural event.
The Federalist Society has received millions in funding from right-wing foundations, including the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation, the Koch family foundations, the John M. Olin Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation, Searle Freedom Trust, among others.
The program for the event is embedded below.

BuzzFeed CEO: I Heard Ivanka Trump Talk About "Mulatto Cocks"
Ivanka Trump called the story "a complete and total lie," while the Republican candidate's campaign is demanding an apology.

Ivanka Trump once told a gathering of friends and acquaintances she had never seen "a mulatto cock," BuzzFeed founder and chief executive Jonah Peretti alleged Wednesday.
"Surprised Ivanka would be shocked by lewd language," Peretti tweeted. "I met her once & she casually said: 'I've never seen a mulatto cock, but I'd like to."

Surprised Ivanka would be shocked by lewd language. I met her once & she casually said: "I've never seen a mulatto… https://t.co/NgJERlY4dP
08:42 PM - 19 Oct 2016
In a statement, Ivanka Trump called Peretti's words "a complete and total lie."
Reached by phone, Peretti said he wrote the tweet in an airport lounge in Burbank, California, after having read a BuzzFeed News report about the daughter of the Republican presidential nominee reacting to a 2005 tape of him making lewd remarks about grabbing women's genitals.
"That's not language consistent with any conversation I've ever had with him, certainly, or any conversation I've overheard," she said at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit. "So it was a bit jarring for me to hear."
Peretti said the encounter with Ivanka occurred at a Manhattan dive bar called Tropical 128 about 8-10 years ago with roughly five other people present, including his wife, Andrea Harner. Peretti said Ivanka and he share a mutual friend who invited her to the bar that evening.
"She was saying how she first said she had never seen an uncircumcised cock and then she said, 'I've never seen a mulatto cock. There's lots of cocks I've never seen,' or something like that," Peretti said.
"Of course, it was memorable just because of the use of the lewd language and racist language. It was also memorable being in the environment of being… in New York, sometimes liberal and progressive people make comments meant as jokes and not necessarily earnest. I didn't know how to take it."
Peretti said that, in the years since the encounter, he and his wife have discussed the alleged quote privately multiple times.
Reached by email, Harner told BuzzFeed News: "I was there and did hear it but have no comment beyond that."
Another person Peretti named as having been there that evening, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the gathering did take place in 2008 but had no further comment.

Peretti said he "sat" on the quote, not revealing it until now, because it was "personal."
"I have conversations with people all the time and I never share things said in private. I only shared this because I read the article and it felt like that experience was relevant," he said.
Ivanka Trump vehemently denied Peretti's words in a statement sent to BuzzFeed News.
"I am not sure if this was meant to be a joke, but in case there is any ambiguity, this is a complete and total lie," she said.
A Donald Trump spokesperson told BuzzFeed News the Republican's campaign is demanding an apology from Peretti.
"What a little man and a disgraceful liar to smear Ivanka Trump like this," spokesperson Jason Miller said in an email. "It shows just how far the media will go to tear down Mr. Trump's family, and we demand an apology."
In June, Peretti informed BuzzFeed employees the company had terminated an advertising deal with the Republican National Committee, citing the Trump campaign's rhetoric.
"We don't run cigarette ads because they are hazardous to our health, and we won't accept Trump ads for the exact same reason," he wrote.

Today, I want to write about "philadelphia." I have a birth certificate, a legal document of the State of Pennsylvania, that says on February 8, 1948, John Michael Fisher was born at the Frankfort Hospital in Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania, to Jenina Constancia Biernacki, mother, and John Louis Fisher, father. It is embossed with the official seal of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It confirms and testifies of my citizenship in the State of Pennsylvania and in the United States of America for as long as I live. I am free to obtain an education and work, and I am kept safe by the armies which these authorities command. With that birth record comes privileges, responsibilities, rights and obligations. And, when I think about these things, I feel a sense of worth, empowerment, security, connectedness and hope in that document – which I keep in a locked metal box in a safe place in my house. It is very valuable to me, and I don't want to lose the rights and privileges that come with its ownership. So, I am also willing to obey the laws, ordinances, judgments and statutes which tell me and remind me how to act as a citizen and member of this august and dignified body.
When I die, this document will have no value to me. I will have lost the legal and lawful rights and privileges, the duties and obligations attached therein. The laws, statutes, ordinances and judgments will no longer be in effect, because ... well, I will be dead and not capable of benefiting from its privileges, nor will it be possible for me to demonstrate my loyalty to its edicts. I can't obey, nor can I disobey; and they aren't going to dig up my bones and throw me in jail until I finish paying off my legal debts to society.
That's all well and good, yet I hope to be born again in a different Philadelphia.
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent [zeontes, not zumee] in spirit, serving the Messiah; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality, Romans 12:10 -13 NKJV.
Now, about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by Elo- him to love each other, 1 Thessalonians 4:9 NIV.
Let brotherly love continue, Hebrews 13:1 KJV.
Thus saith Yahweh; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant: ["brotherly" is the Hebrew word, "ach" #251, meaning brother, literally and metaphorically]. But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof. Thus saith Yahweh; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever, Amos 1:9 - 11 KJV.
Apparently, Yahweh takes commitments to one's brothers very seriously.
Returning to the New Testament, "brotherly love" is the Greek word, Strong's #5360 philadelphia (fil-ad-el-fee'-ah); from #5361, philadelphos; which means fraternal affection: also used in the KJV as "love of the brethren," from the Greek word, Strong's #5384, philos (fee'-los); meaning "dear," i.e., a friend; or in an active sense, "fond," i.e., "friendly," and as a noun, an associate or neighbor. The other half of the word philadelphia comes from the Greek word, Strong's #80, adelphos (ad-el-fos'); from delphus (the womb); a brother (literally or figuratively) near or remote. So, philadelphia means to show affection to, and care for, another as if you and they shared the same womb, as if we have the same father and mother. Is it not, therefore, a breaking of the Fifth Commandment to abandon or disrespect your brother? Honor your father and your mother – love your brother.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; this man came to Yahshua by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, [hra-bee'] we know that You have come from Elohim as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless Elohim is with him." Yahshua answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of Yahweh."
Nicodemus said to Him, "How canamanbebornwhenheis old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?" Yahshua answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of Yahweh. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Yahshua is saying you cannot enter the Kingdom of Yahweh if you are not "regenerated by Yaweh into kinship." Let me speak frankly, here. If you leave the As-embly of Yahweh (and, I'm not saying this assembly, per se), if you leave those whom you have accepted as your brethren, you do not have the Spirit of Yahweh.
Yahshua is using the words, "born again," that we will become Spirit, in the same manner that He became Spirit – after He was raised from the grave. Of all who read our literature or listen/watch our dvds, none of us are yet "born again." We are yet in the womb, adelphia, gestating. Our spiritual birth, if you will, occurs when we are raised from the grave at the time of the First Resurrection. It is then that we will be able to say, "I am born again. I am a Philadelphian." And, not before.
Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as the Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was impaled with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.
Are we freed from sin? No. No one is yet freed from sin.
O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank Yahweh through Yahshua the Messiah our Sovereign. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of Yahweh; but with the flesh the law of sin, Romans 7:24 - 25 KJV.
Was Paul born again? Nope. Not yet.
So this I say, and affirm together with the Master, that you walk no longer just as the Geause of the hardness of their heart; and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. But you did not learn the Messiah in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Yahshua, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of Elousness and holiness of the truth, Ephesians 4:17 - 24 NASU.
There is an English word that sounds exactly like the word, born. "Borne," spelled B-O-R-N-E. It means to "bear" or to "endure." Using that word, I hope to have another birth certificate recorded, and it, too, will say I was borne, or "I endured," in philadelphia, in brotherly love. This certificate will also be embossed with a seal of Great Authority and confirms my citizenship in its Kingdom for as long as I live, eternally. It, too, will allow me to acquire knowledge and work; and I will be kept safe by the armies over which its King commands. With that record comes privileges, responsibilities, rights and obligations. When I meditate on these things, I feel a sense of worth, empowerment, security, connectedness and hope in that document – which I keep in a locked, safe place in my "house," my heart. It is very valuable to me, and I don't want to lose the rights and privileges that come with its ownership. So, I am also willing to obey the laws, ordore His angels, Revelation 3:5 NKJV.
When this fleshly body dies, that record, called the Book of Life, will be of extreme value to me. I will NOT have lost the rights, privileges, duties and obltrate my obedience, and I WILL be held accountable for any debt I owe to this Great Authority, Yahweh Almighty. I will also receive, if qualified, the rights and privileges promised for my good citizenship while in this mortal body.
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with Yahweh's people and members of Yahweh's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Yahshua the Messiah Himself as the Chief Conerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in Yah-eh. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which Elohim lives by His Spirit, Ephesians 2:19 – 22.
We are, here and now, in these fleshly bodies, to be citizens of "Philadelphia," to act as one who is "born of love." To love our Brethren, near and far. To nurture and care for those whom we call Brethren as well as those who may someday be called – to believe as we believe. T o be honest and not harbor resentment.
In this regard, I now must say, to those who see my actions as demonstrating condemnation, judgment or threat, I humbly ask for your forgiveness. In those ways in which you have demonstrated condemnation, judgment or threat, I freely forgive you. To those who desire to be citizens of Yahweh's People, or, "Philadelphians," and are considering joining us here at our home office, either in person or through the media: Welcome! To those who have once made that decision to be a part of our gathering and have left, or are contemplating leaving, I say, "Reconsider, come, let us reason together." Certainly, as members of this family, as brothers of the same womb, we can listen and share. We can humble ourselves and value others above ourselves. We can forgive as we have been forgiven. We can love as we have been loved, looking beyond our own needs to those of the body of Messiah. We can endure, if by the Spirit of Yahweh, we have a birth certificate of the state of philadelphia.
May the Peace of Yahweh prevail in your minds and in your hearts, and may we someday be born in philadelphia. Shalom!


When everyone is kept in the loop with the same information they can understand your company's long-term and short-term goals, be aware of any issues that have arisen and make decisions accordingly.
People who don't have all the information they need to do their jobs well can make mistakes, are less productive (which affects your company's profitability) and have lower levels of engagement and morale. They're more likely to look for a job elsewhere, which means if you've invested time and money in recruiting the top talent in your industry, you might not be able to keep them if they are unhappy!
Staff who give conflicting or just plain wrong information and advice to customers, partners and other stakeholders are also a risk for your company. People don't like doing business with companies that they feel are misleading or incompetent. This poor perception can lead to reputational damage and ultimately cost you goodwill and money.
Implementing good internal communication practices within your company can prevent or alleviate some of these issues. Having an internal communications plan that you can follow to deliver key information to your staff in a timely manner means that whenever you have something important to say to them, you will know what steps to take to do so.
For the types of information that you need to dispatch to the entire organization or large numbers of staff, you will need to ensure you have a communication tool at your disposal that will get the messages through.
Many companies rely on email to send mass communications to their entire workforce. This might take the form of an email announcement or a staff electronic newsletter, and is often seen as the quickest, simplest, most effective way to reach everyone in an organization.
Email distribution lists are relatively easy to set up, and many organizations have staff arranged into groups via Active Directory such as staff who work on a particular project team, everyone in a certain geographic location and so on.
Sounds great, right? So if you've been sending emails out and yet people are complaining that they don't know what's going on within your organization, that can be incredibly frustrating – especially if you have taken those steps to communicate to keep everyone well-informed.
Unfortunately the reason for this is the medium of email itself. Email has become so overused in modern workplaces that it can no longer be relied on to deliver the most crucial of information.
According to a report from the Radicati Group, the average office worker sends or receives 121 emails a day. Employees are so bombarded with emails on any given day their inboxes are overloaded. They simply don't have time to open and read and act on every email that they receive.
This is bad news if you're relying on email to keep everyone in the loop about important updates. Even sending the email from a top manager, such as the CEO, isn't guaranteed to get people opening it up!
The best mass notification tool available is one that is able to cut through the digital clutter of email and land on employees' computer screens, no matter what software they are using at the time, and get "in their faces" to ensure that important information is delivered.
If you're looking for something that achieves this, look no further than DeskAlerts, an internal communication software solution that delivers pop-up notifications straight to employees' screens. Messages appear even if the computer is locked or on screensaver or standby mode.
DeskAlerts has been deployed in many organizations around the world to improve their internal communications, and is getting results.
Messages are sent from an online interface. You can customize the design of the notifications as they appear on employee screens, even determining the location of where they will be seen. You can also create custom audiences and schedule messages in advance to appear at a later time.
Fast delivery – send your breaking news or important announcements so they appear on everyone's computer screens quickly. This lets you stay ahead of the rumor mill.
Emergency communication – when you have a crisis situation such as a fire, a natural disaster or an active shooter you can instantly alert your employees so they can take steps to ensure their safety.
Send surveys, polls and quizzes – instantly get a response from your employees by sending a survey or a quiz straight to their screens. Good for gathering feedback, testing knowledge levels or getting simple yes or no answers.
RSVP to events – the easiest way to find out who is able to attend an important corporate event and gather important information like catering requirements.
Statistics module – when you send a DeskAlert notification you can see which employees have seen the pop-up and which ones haven't. You can even track by device.
Mobile apps - your modern workforce isn't always sitting in the office in front of a computer screen. DeskAlerts has apps available from both the Google and Apple stores for smartphones and tablets, which push notifications to the screens of those employees who are on the road, out of the office, work in non-office roles, or work remotely.
Send content in rich formats – DeskAlerts supports a variety of multimedia formats including video and Flash, photos and will also let you hyperlink to content elsewhere such as your internet or intranet sites.
Use out-of-the-box or customize – For many companies DeskAlerts is good to go straight out of the box. However the team of professionals can help you to create custom solutions unique to your needs for an additional fee. Using the API function you can integrate with a range of other systems that your company or industry may rely on to keep staff informed about issues critical to their roles.

LIBERIA: GVL Oil Palm Mill Expected Soon
May 7, 2015 New Thinking--with Joe Bartuah - 0
Golden Veroleum Liberia signed a Letter of Acceptance with Malaysia-based Modipalm Engineering Sdn Bhd for the construction of its Tarjuowon Palm Oil Mill and Greenville Bulking Station. The contract, worth upwards of 21 million USD, is expected to be completed by 2017 and will employ several hundred Liberians during construction and approximately 150 Liberians in industrial processing when in full operation.
Currently, GVL employs approximately 3,700 in the South East of the country. "What we want to do is continue that number upward as we grow with the help of the communities," said GVL Spokesman Stephen Binda. "The mill and bulking station will certainly help with that and ensure Liberia will have its own processing capabilities, which in essence means that there are products made in Liberia by Liberians."
When completed the mill will be used to process fresh fruit bunches, also known as FFB, typically within 24 hours of harvesting. Then the oil would be transported to the bulking station.
"This is a process that began for us a couple of years ago when we sent our first batch of Liberian engineers to Jakarta, Indonesia to train specifically in oil palm mill engineering. They returned and are now helping to run the company, and they will have an enormous task ahead of them with the mill. But they have stepped up to the challenge and we expect great things from them," according to Binda.
Of the current GVL workforce, 64 Liberians are in various management positions, the mill and bulking station will increase that number. When fully operational the company expects to employ between 35,000 and 40,000.

The other day I met someone whose sense of humor is just on another level. We were talking about health and fitness, and how much people struggle to have a six-pack. Then from nowhere he said something that left everyone who heard him in guffaws, tears and rib aches. This is what he said, "You know what I have is a six-pack waiting to be properly arranged". Actually it is the way he said it and how he packed those words into that one statement that left everyone in stitches. I couldn't stop laughing every time I thought about his words and so eventually, out of curiosity, I just decided to go online to find out what six-pack actually means.
According to Wikipedia, a six pack is "an array of six bulges of human abdomen, rectus abdominis muscle". I went on further to find out what the definition of bulges is and this is what the online dictionary I use had to say; a rounded swelling which distorts an otherwise flat surface. By this definition of a bulge, I guess my friend was right when he said that he had a six-pack waiting to be properly arranged. In other words, he needed to cut down his one bulge into six small bulges that were not so conspicuous like his current bulge was.
Of course this was all being said from a humorous point of view but as is the norm with me, suddenly I saw a connection between his statement and various aspects of our lives. How now, you might be asking? Keep reading and you'll understand.
For those of you who are staunch fitness enthusiasts, you will agree with me that the toughest part of the body to work on and maintain is the stomach, especially if you have a potbelly or distended stomach. For starters, you will have to avoid all the nice juicy foods such as pastries, soft drinks, most meat products, all processed products, etc. In other words, you will have to develop a discipline for eating healthy foods always. As a matter of fact, if you can be able to manage not only what you eat but also your eating habits, you can be assured that your distended stomach will become deflated within a very short period of time. Indeed, like some health and fitness guru once said, "you are what you eat".
Eat enough croissants and your midriff will start having ridges like those of a croissant. Eat enough veggies and roughage and you'll have no ridges or improperly distributed bulges around your abdomen. Again, like you must have heard, "Abs are made in the kitchen". In other words, if you want a six-pack, you must be ready to eat right then follow that up with exercises. However, like I said already, eating right and working out are the two most challenging disciplines to acquire. Why? Because they involve saying no to immediate gratification. And that, my friends, is the one reason why there are more people with a six-pack that is yet to be aligned as opposed to those with a properly aligned six-pack that they are proud of showing off and taking care of.
And that is the basis of my message today.
Each one of us came to this earth with a mental six-pack waiting to be aligned. In other words, each one of us came to this world with a combination of talents in us, but only after working them out and feeding them right will we discover what they are. Just like in the physical, working your mind out and feeding it right is not the most interesting thing for most people to do, and that is why you find that most people end up just working on one talent when they could have developed more than one. Just like in the physical, feed your mind the right food (literally) and the right content (i.e. what you consume through watching, listening, mediating on, etc.) and you will reap the benefits of having a nicely developed mind which can be flexible enough to do many different things.
I have said this before but for purposes of being understood, I will say it again. If ten years ago anyone would have told me that in 2018 I would be doing half the stuff I do today, it is possible that my response to that person would have been to just smile at them but deep inside myself I'd have been thinking of all kinds of bad thoughts in relation to that person, the major one being that the person must be mad. At that time I never imagined that it was possible for me to become a trainer, or a motivational speaker, or a writer, or a strategist or even a personal coach considering that I was one shy person, who was very insecure and lacking in confidence. Besides, I didn't know how to play around with words like I do now, didn't have much to say to anyone, because I didn't think I had anything worth saying.
Looking at all the facts on the ground then, I had many genuine reasons to believe that any person who thought I could amount to anything needed to be detained in a mental hospital. I guess like many other people, I just didn't know that my brain was a "six-pack" waiting to be properly arranged. In other words, I needed to train my brain, feed it the right food and right content and as I kept on doing that, it developed the six-pack you all see read today. It is through personal development that I have been able to realize the many talents that my creator had hidden in me. Sometimes I wonder where I'd be now had I not taken time to discover the talents I ride on today, though I am still discovering more talents as time goes by.
Today I want to challenge you to do a few things, regardless of how old or young you are.
Take some time to list all the talents you believe you have.
Look at each talent carefully and enumerate the things you can do (or are doing) using that talent.
Look at each talent and determine what you can do to sharpen it further so as to make optimal use of it.
Look at what other skills/talents you might require in order to combine or blend them with the ones you have already identified, to create even more powerful talent-combos for yourself.
By doing the little exercise above, you will discover many things about yourself that will actually surprise you. Doing this every three months helps me determine whether or not I have grown as a person. When you keep doing a talent-audit, you keep refreshing yourself because sharpening your skills and acquiring new skills become the order of the day for you.
Talent management is not just for the Human Resource department. You are responsible for your own talents i.e. acquisition, growth and maintenance. In other words, you identify your talent, you do everything possible to grow it then you look for all possible ways of ensuring you do not lose that talent.
That is why this week in the ongoing #52BooksIn52Weeks2018 book reading challenge I am recommending "Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential For Excellence" by Ben Carson. According to Audible.com, a review of this book stated that the book shows readers how to recognize their talents as gifts, gain insight from people and books, be nice to all people, recognize knowledge as the key to living, develop in-depth learning skills, and keep in touch with God.
Remember, your mind too can be trained to acquire a six-pack. How? By feeding it right and training it tight. To quote Ben Carson himself, "When we feed our fourteen billion brain cells with information that will enrich us and help others, we are really learning to Think Big.
Be ignited. Be inspired. Be influenced. Become the bet version of yourself you can ever be.

Travel restrictions during pandemics: considerations and consequences.
1:00-2:30 p.m. ET
Cross-border travel bans have long been controversial in public health. While travel bans may help contain disease spread, there are also concerns that they may limit the availability of health workers where needed, and that they may encourage xenophobia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, travel bans were implemented widely by many countries (U.S. included), in an effort to contain the virus and control its spread. But how effective were they in suppressing the spread? Is it fair to look at the effectiveness of these bans without considering if they do more harm than good?
Dr. William J. Bicknell endowed this lectureship to support excellence, rigor, imagination and risk-taking in the teaching and practice of public health through annual lectures.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, (dikwijls afgekort tot Philosophical Transactions of nog korter Phil. Trans.), is een wetenschappelijk tijdschrift van de Royal Society te Londen. Philosophical Transactions verscheen voor het eerst op 6 mei 1665, ongeveer drie maanden nadat Journal des savants van de Académie Royale des Sciences voor het eerst was verschenen. Daarmee was Philosophical Transactions het tweede wetenschappelijke tijdschrift in de wereld. De naam verwijst nog naar het feit dat destijds de natuurwetenschap nog onder de filosofie werd ingedeeld, vaak als "natuurfilosofie" of "experimentele filosofie".

Zes jaar na het oprichten van de Royal Society werd het blad voor het eerst uitgegeven door Henry Oldenburg. Vele eeuwen lang is Philosophical Transitions een toonaangevend tijdschrift geweest voor de wetenschap. Tegenwoordig is de publicatie gesplitst in twee delen, waarbij deel A handelt over wiskunde en natuurkunde-gerelateerde wetenschappen en deel B over biologie-gerelateerde wetenschappen.

Alle artikelen uitgegeven na 1997 zijn tegenwoordig na 12 maanden gratis te downloaden op de website van de Royal Society.

Thank you.

A: String yourStringVariable = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/"+UUID.randomUUID().toString()+"audio_record.3gp";

When starting Activity2 from Activity1do the following:
Intent intent = new Intent(Activity1.this,Activity2.class);
intent.putExtra("key",yourStringVariable);
startActivity(intent);

To retrieve the string when you are in Activity2
String myStringFromActivity1 = getIntent().getStringExtra("key");
