If I ever take the PMP test...

"When I took it, some 11 years ago or so, I did self-study (Rita Mulcahy materials) and participated in a monthly study group at my previous job...

Rita passed away some years ago but the company she founded, RMC Learning Solutions, continues to produce courseware."

Also recommendation to take a practice test to see where I need to study more.

Scarcity, abundance and tunneling

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/09/13/being-poor-changes-your-thinking-about-everything/

* Study showing after 6 months after being debt free, without other intervention street vendors go back into the same problem they were having before
* With time, you have too much abundance at first. You need to make distant things (like deadlines) seem more immediate.
* Tunneling is the key thing - when you're in a crisis you only see the problem, not the bigger issue.
* If you take tunneling, then the best incentives are those positively impact the tunnetl - that make you do the right long term thing by impacting your choices in the tunnel.

Steve's verses on Old Testament taxes

From Steve Converse's outline on 9/17/2017
Direct taxes

1. Levite's tithe - 1/10, paid to support Israel's theocratic government (Lev 27:30)
2. Festival tithe - annual tax used for cultivating national life (Deut 12:10-19)
3. Welfare tithe - once every 3 years, used to support welfare services (Deut 14:29)
4. Temple tax - annual half-shekel tax on men 21+ for tabernacle/temple (Ex 30:14)

Indirect taxes

1. Gleaning tax - leave some in the field to be gleaned by the poor (Lev 19:10)
2. 7th year fallow tax - any crops were left first for the poor and then livestock (Ex 23:10-11)

Really? In order to get the different font weights...

You have to specify them in the link URL:

1. @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900);  
2. 
   
3. body {  
4.     font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', serif;  
5.     font-size: 14px;  
6. }  
7.   
8. .wiki-content strong {  
9.  font-weight: 900;  
10. }  

Great Google configurator page to help you understand how to customize right weights and get that into the URL.

Use the calculation formula to get values from a different field.

How I figured out what invisible character to cut

• Copy paste character to own line in Excel
• Then used function =CODE(targetCellRef)
• Then used: =TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A4,CHAR(202),CHAR(32)))
• https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Remove-spaces-and-nonprinting-characters-from-text-023f3a08-3d56-49e4-bf0c-fe5303222c9d

To get it working in VBA script I used:

temp1 = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Rng.Value, Chr(202), Chr(32))

Rng.Value = VBA.Trim(temp1)

To calculate Box 1 and Box 5 on my W2 tax form

To calculate Box 1 and Box 5 on my W2 tax form

Box 1

• Start with gross wages
• Subtract HSA contribution from employer
• Subtract 401k contribution
• Subtract section 125 for cafe options (Dental, Medical, HSA personal contributions, Vision)

Box 5

• Start with gross wages
• Subtract HSA contribution from employer + ESPP gains
• Subtract section 125 for cafe options (Dental, Medical, HSA personal contributions, Vision)

Calculating difference between Box 1 and Box 5 on my W2

Take box 5 (Medicare wages and tips)
Subject 401k set aside
Add ESPPG (ESPP gain)
That = box 1
