Linux Programming "Unit-I - Linux Utilities" Introduction to Linux Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open source software development and distribution. The defining component of Linux is the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released 5 October 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux was originally developed as a free operating system for Intel x86-based personal computers. It has since been ported to more computer hardware platforms than any other operating system. It is a leading operating system on servers and other big iron systems such as mainframe computers and supercomputers more than 90% of today's 500 fastest supercomputers run some variant of Linux, including the 10 fastest. Linux also runs on embedded systems (devices where the operating system is typically built into the firmware and highly tailored to the system) such as mobile phones, tablet computers, network routers, televisions and video game consoles; the Android system in wide use on mobile devices is built on the Linux kernel. A distribution oriented toward desktop use will typically include the X Window System and an accompanying desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE Plasma. Some such distributions may include a less resource intensive desktop such as LXDE or Xfce for use on older or less powerful computers. A distribution intended to run as a server may omit all graphical environments from the standard install and instead include other software such as the Apache HTTP Server and an SSH server such as OpenSSH. Because Linux is freely redistributable, anyone may create a distribution for any intended use. Applications commonly used with desktop Linux systems include the Mozilla Firefox web browser, the LibreOffice office application suite, and the GIMP image editor. Since the main supporting user space system tools and libraries originated in the GNU Project, initiated in 1983 by Richard Stallman, the Free Software Foundation prefers the name GNU/Linux. History Page 1
Linux Programming Unix The Unix operating system was conceived and implemented in 1969 at AT&T's Bell Laboratories in the United States by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Douglas McIlroy, and Joe Ossanna. It was first released in 1971 and was initially entirely written in assembly language, a common practice at the time. Later, in a key pioneering approach in 1973, Unix was re-written in the programming language C by Dennis Ritchie (with exceptions to the kernel and I/O). The availability of an operating system written in a high-level language allowed easier portability to different computer platforms. Today, Linux systems are used in every domain, from embedded systems to supercomputers, and have secured a place in server installations often using the popular LAMP application stack. Use of Linux distributions in home and enterprise desktops has been growing. They have also gained popularity with various local and national governments. The federal government of Brazil is well known for its support for Linux. News of the Russian military creating its own Linux distribution has also surfaced, and has come to fruition as the G.H.ost Project. The Indian state of Kerala has gone to the extent of mandating that all state high schools run Linux on their computers. Design A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system. It derives much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, and peripheral and file system access. Device drivers are either integrated directly with the kernel or added as modules loaded while the system is running. Separate projects that interface with the kernel provide much of the system's higher-level functionality. The GNU userland is an important part of most Linux-based systems, providing the most common implementation of the C library, a popular shell, and many of the common Unix tools which carry out many basic operating system tasks. The graphical user interface (or GUI) used by most Linux systems is built on top of an implementation of the X Window System. Programming on Linux Page 2
Linux Programming Most Linux distributions support dozens of programming languages. The original development tools used for building both Linux applications and operating system programs are found within the GNU toolchain, which includes the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and the GNU build system. Amongst others, GCC provides compilers for Ada, C, C++, Java, and Fortran. First released in 2003, the Low Level Virtual Machine project provides an alternative open-source compiler for many languages. Proprietary compilers for Linux include the Intel C++ Compiler, Sun Studio, and IBM XL C/C++ Compiler. BASIC in the form of Visual Basic is supported in such forms as Gambas, FreeBASIC, and XBasic. Most distributions also include support for PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python and other dynamic languages. While not as common, Linux also supports C# (via Mono), Vala, and Scheme. A number of Java Virtual Machines and development kits run on Linux, including the original Sun Microsystems JVM (HotSpot), and IBM's J2SE RE, as well as many open-source projects like Kaffe and JikesRVM. Linux Advantages 1. Low cost: You don't need to spend time and money to obtain licenses since Linux and much of its software come with the GNU General Public License. You can start to work immediately without worrying that your software may stop working anytime because the free trial version expires. Additionally, there are large repositories from which you can freely download high quality software for almost any task you can think of. 2. Stability: Linux doesn't need to be rebooted periodically to maintain performance levels. It doesn't freeze up or slow down over time due to memory leaks and such. Continuous uptimes of hundreds of days (up to a year or more) are not uncommon. 3. Performance: Linux provides persistent high performance on workstations and on networks. It can handle unusually large numbers of users simultaneously, and can make old computers sufficiently responsive to be useful again. 4. Network friendliness: Linux was developed by a group of programmers over the Internet and has therefore strong support for network functionality; client and server systems can be easily set up on any computer running Linux. It can perform tasks such as network backups faster and more reliably than alternative systems. 5. Flexibility: Linux can be used for high performance server applications, desktop applications, and embedded systems. You can save disk space by only installing the components needed for a particular use. You can restrict the use of specific computers by installing for example only selected office applications instead of the whole suite. Page 3
Linux Programming 6. Compatibility: It runs all common Unix software packages and can process all common file formats. 7. Choice: The large number of Linux distributions gives you a choice. Each distribution is developed and supported by a different organization. You can pick the one you like best; the core functionalities are the same; most software runs on most distributions. 8. Fast and easy installation: Most Linux distributions come with user-friendly installation and setup programs. Popular Linux distributions come with tools that make installation of additional software very user friendly as well. 9. Full use of hard disk: Linux continues work well even when the hard disk is almost full. 10. Multitasking: Linux is designed to do many things at the same time; e.g., a large printing job in the background won't slow down your other work. 11. Security: Linux is one of the most secure operating systems. ―Walls‖ and flexible file access permission systems prevent access by unwanted visitors or viruses. Linux users have to option to select and safely download software, free of charge, from online repositories containing thousands of high quality packages. No purchase transactions requiring credit card numbers or other sensitive personal information are necessary. 12. Open Source: If you develop software that requires knowledge or modification of the operating system code, Linux's source code is at your fingertips. Most Linux applications are Open Source as well. The difference between Linux and UNIX operating systems? UNIX is copyrighted name only big companies are allowed to use the UNIX copyright and name, so IBM AIX and Sun Solaris and HP-UX all are UNIX operating systems. The Open Group holds the UNIX trademark in trust for the industry, and manages the UNIX trademark licensing program. Most UNIX systems are commercial in nature. Linux is a UNIX Clone But if you consider Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) standards then Linux can be considered as UNIX. To quote from Official Linux kernel README file: Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX compliance. However, "Open Group" do not approve of the construction "Unix-like", and consider it misuse of their UNIX trademark. Linux Is Just a Kernel Page 4

Here's another example of how leftists are perfectly happy to drop their politically correct morals on a whim if the target of their hate is a conservative.
The incident occurred during last night's confrontation between Infowars and the Young Turks, when Cenk Uygur had a temper tantrum before one of his guests – comedian Jimmy Dore – spat in Alex Jones' face (because liberals are real classy like that).
Towards the end of the confrontation, Ana Kasparian is caught on tape yelling at Alex Jones.
"Get off the stage, you fat fuck!" she screams.
Aside from the fact that Jones is virtually the same size as Kasparian's boss Cenk, her insult completely contradicts her previous conviction that people should not be shamed over their weight.
.@AnaKasparian's disgraceful, bigoted fat shaming. Leftists drop their own politically correct 'morals' on a whim. pic.twitter.com/ZqucdrbUgq
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) July 22, 2016
As the video above illustrates, Kasparian has railed against body shaming on numerous occasions.
"It's the classic bullying move, where you wanna feel better about yourself so you look to someone and pick on their imperfections to feel good about yourself….it's stupid," she once asserted.
In another rant about YouTuber Nicole Arbour, who received criticism for making fun of fat people, Kasparian said Arbor was making "a very serious and very terrible statement about overweight people."
In another clip, Kasparian defines fat shaming; "Fat shaming is pointing a finger at you and being like 'you're fat!'"
Oh you mean like how you pointed your finger at Alex Jones and called him a "fat fuck," Ana?
Elsewhere, Kasparian is seen lamenting about how her dance instructor told her she was overweight when she was a child.
"It does scar you and you have issues with food and eating for the rest of your life," she stated.
Kasparian's tone sounded somewhat different when she angrily labeled Jones a "fat fuck" last night.
Just like how leftists will whine all day long about Donald Trump's supposed sexism and racism – while themselves engaging in rampant misogyny and bigotry against Melania Trump for being a "dumb bitch" who can't speak English properly – Kasparian was perfectly content to abandon her body positivity message to attack Jones over his weight.
Kasparian is a total hypocrite and should immediately issue an apology for her disgraceful act of body shaming discrimination.

Of all the Hollywood franchise revivals that are coming through the pipeline in the next fear years, it's safe to say that the Ghostbusters reboot is one of the ones that has the steepest uphill climb. Though the film has a respected comedic helmsman in Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy) and a cast fronted by some of the leading ladies of comedy (Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, for starters), the new take on the paranormal investigators has been a lightning rod for controversy since it got the green light. Even as moviegoers yearn for female led action flicks, not everyone's keen on the Ghostbusters being 100% estrogen.
As the film proceeds with principal photography in Boston, Feig and his team will be hard at work getting the momentum to swing in the positive direction. A great teaser trailer or an image of the newcomers in costume may be the best way to accomplish that, but for now fans will have to settle for a picture of just the uniforms to start getting hyped.
Feig shared the image on his Twitter page, and it's safe to say that he has the 1984 original in mind with the design, as it clearly pays homage to what came before:
#whatyougonnawear pic.twitter.com/o5oyHeIaSx
— Paul Feig (@paulfeig) June 29, 2015
Though the characterization and the performances will be the biggest indicators for how audiences receive the next generation of Ghostbusters, longtime followers can breathe easy with the knowledge that they'll at least look like proper Ghostbusters while they're hunting down whatever poltergeists are plaguing society these days.
For the most part, these outfits are basically replications of the duds worn by Peter Venkman and his crew during their days in the field. Of course, there are some minor alterations to make the new uniforms stand on their own (the orange stripes along the sleeves and what seems to be a darker shade of brown), but they look like typical Ghostbusters get-ups. Even the classic logo is left untouched, a perfect illustration of Feig's commitment to blending the old with the new and honoring the history of the iconic brand.
Obviously, the sight of empty uniforms on hangers isn't going to completely sway the naysayers' opinions on the film's potential merits, but this is a step in the right direction. Whenever a beloved property such as this is being adapted, the heroes' clothes are always a major topic of discussion. Regardless of how you feel about it, costumes are a crucial part of geek-friendly franchises, and if the filmmakers don't get that aspect of the source material right, many are left wondering if they can do anything justice. In all honesty, it's an easy element to nail down, and it's nice to see that Feig and his crew knocked it out of the park. Though they are redesigns, nothing's so drastic that people will proclaim Ghostbusters is ruined because of this.
There's no telling yet if an official shot of the cast wearing their new uniforms is around the corner, but the timing of this post indicates that Feig is preparing to film the team in the costumes in the near future. Like many a studio tentpole, Ghostbusters has already been plagued by leaked set images, so perhaps the director may want to beat the paparazzi to the punch and unveil the new Ghostbusters in full within the next couple of days. It gives us something to look forward to, if nothing else.
Ghostbusters will be in theaters July 22, 2016.

More than 5,600 homes and business in South Ayrshire will be next to benefit from fibre broadband in the latest phase of the £410 million Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme.
Annbank, Joppa, Tarbolton and Maybole have all been announced as the next areas to be passed by the Digital Scotland deployment of high-speed fibre broadband, with the first premises expected to benefit during spring 2015.
Local people will have access to fibre services at speeds of up to 80Mbps1, thanks to the engineering rollout being delivered on the ground by BT's local network business, Openreach. The new infrastructure will mean that multiple users in a home or business will be able to access the internet and download and share large files at the same time and more quickly than ever before, if they sign up to the service.
All of the places announced in this phase will receive high speed technology for the first time.
The Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme aims to provide fibre broadband infrastructure to areas not covered by commercial deployment. Combined with commercial roll-out plans by the private sector, around 85% of premises in Scotland will have access to fibre broadband by the end of 2015/16 and 95% by the end of 2017/18.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "The scale of the challenge of delivering fibre broadband across our communities in Scotland shouldn't be underestimated but engineers are working hard and making good progress. It's fantastic to see the project extending into places like Maybole, which will really benefit from the economic advantages fibre broadband brings.
"It's a fundamental part of the Scottish Government's aim to deliver world class connectivity by 2020, enabling people across Scotland to connect any time, any place, anywhere using any device."
The Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband initiative consists of two projects – one covering the Highlands and Islands area, led by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and the other covering the Rest of Scotland. The first cabinets went live in March and April of this year in Buckie and Kirkton of Skene, Aberdeenshire. In total, more than three quarters of a million homes and business premises are expected to benefit.
BT is investing £126 million in the partnership programme, in addition to its £2.5bn UK commercial rollout of fibre broadband. The advance of the partnership roll-out, coupled with BT's ongoing commercial upgrades, means that more than 1.3m Scottish homes and businesses now have access to Openreach's fibre broadband network.
BT Scotland director Brendan Dick said: "The arrival of fibre broadband in these latest South Ayrshire communities will be great news for local homes and businesses. In a few months' time local people will be streaming, shopping, learning and sharing faster than ever before. Fibre broadband opens up lots of new online opportunities, whether you're a busy mum juggling work with homework, a commuter wanting to work from home or a business contemplating moving functions to the cloud.
"The civil engineering project underpinning this new network is not just one of the biggest in Scotland but is among the most complex anywhere in Europe. Openreach has been recruiting dozens of extra engineers to help shape Scotland's future and many of our young apprentices are gaining valuable experience helping to connect up people to fibre in local communities across Scotland."
Councillor Bill Grant, South Ayrshire Council's Portfolio Holder for Economic Development, Tourism and Leisure, said: "The introduction of superfast broadband in our towns and villages will make a massive difference, especially in our rural areas. This will transform how these homes and businesses work, learn and play and will be a real boost for our communities. I look forward to the continued roll-out of broadband across our area and know it will get a very warm welcome wherever it's introduced in South Ayrshire."
Digital Economy Minister Ed Vaizey said: "The UK Government is investing more than £120m in the transformation of Scotland's digital landscape, and today's announcement of the next 80,000 homes and businesses in Scotland due to benefit from the rollout of superfast broadband is fantastic news."
Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband funding partners include the Scottish Government, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the UK Government through Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK), local authorities and the European Regional Development Fund, as well as BT.
Locations will be announced quarterly over the life of the projects as the fibre network rolls out across Scotland. Further local detail will be provided as plans advance and anyone interested in the roll-out can keep up to date and get more detail at www.digitalscotland.org
South Ayrshire Council is a Founder Member of the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle.

Simon's Coast to Coast trek raises over £3,000 for charity
A mortgage product manager at the Society has successfully tackled the 192 mile Coast to Coast walk, over 13 days, from St Bees on England's west coast to Robin Hood's Bay on the east coast.
Simon Halladay raised £3,145 for the Lymphoma Association – including £400 in matched funding from Leeds Building Society.
Simon said: "It's over 10 years since I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and this summer was the 10th anniversary of finishing my treatment. To celebrate this I tackled the Coast to Coast - a 192 mile walk over 13 days from St Bees on the west coast to Robin Hood's Bay on the east coast.
"I am delighted to have significantly beaten my original £1,000 fundraising target, and would like to thank everyone who has sponsored me and Leeds Building Society for providing matched funding."

10-30 am Morning Service
This is our main service. You will find in it the familiar elements of a Christian service but it is informed by Biblical scholarship and progressive Christian theology and is invigorated by use of contemporary and inclusive language and modern prayers and hymns.
Communion is usually offered on the 2nd and 5th Sunday in the month. As is the case in all Uniting churches, we practise an open communion table.
We encourage participation in the service. There is an opportunity for people in the congregation to express their cares and concerns; we pass the peace; and following the sermon, there is a time for comments or questions from members of the congregation.
Leadership of each service is shared between two co-presiders. Our Minister, the Rev Chris Lockley, usually preaches on the 2nd and 4th Sundays with lay leaders in the congregation taking this role on other Sundays.
Morning tea is shared after the service.
All are welcome.
5 pm Meditation
(In the Brindabella Room)
This is a small group which meets "in the round" for about 45 minutes.
We draw on Christian traditions of meditation or contemplative prayer. Our meeting comprises short readings, music and some practical guidance on how to meditate, all structured around 20 minutes of silence.
The guidance we offer follows the practice of the World Christian Meditation Movement (WCCM) http://wccm.org/
Sources for our readings, including spoken prayers, in 2019 include:
• John Main, Daily Readings – Silence and Stillness in Every Season [and other WCCM material]
• Francis Macnab, A Fine Wind Blowing [A modern interpretation of Psalms and other readings]
• Geoffrey Durham, The Spirit of the Quakers
• This We Can Say, Australian Quaker Life, Faith and Thought.
- John O'Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us [a book of blessings]
For more information contact Evan
All are welcome.
6 pm Evening Service
(In the Brindabella Room)
This is a small and informal service. It has three main elements: a simple liturgy, a period of sharing and a discussion led by one of the group. Recent discussion topics have included:
• Talks given at the 2019 Common Dreams conference in Sydney on the theme of "Sacred Earth: Original Blessing; Our Common Home".
• Selected passages from the Gospels.
• Sebastian Smee's Quarterly Essay, Net Cost: the inner life in the digital age.
• Articles from the "Progressive Channel" of www.patheos.com
On the first Sunday in the month the group shares an Agape Meal, a simple meal which commences with the sacramental sharing of bread and wine. It recalls the meals Jesus shared with his disciples during his Ministry and is an expression of the fellowship and sharing of the community at St James. Singing, prayers and discussion over the meal are also part of the service.
On the third Sunday in the month our Minister the Rev Chris Lockley leads a discussion on issues in contemporary progressive theology.
All are welcome
Our program of discussion topics for November 2019 can be found here.

We don't know who made that statement, (though it's been erroneously attributed to Peter Drucker), but there is a profound truth that the culture that we create has a dramatic impact upon any strategy that we try to implement in our organization.
This principle is commonly seen in the church world. Stories abound of pastors experiencing massive resistance to change even though a congregation may be in decline or even on the verge of shutting the doors. The culture that the church has embraced will not allow any attempts at change to happen. This often results in painful conflicts within the church that can deeply wound well-meaning people.
What if there was a way to bring the gospel into a community at the grass root level that can bring new life into congregations? Instead of looking at ways to adjust the church organization, what if we could let the gospel adjust our hearts so that strategies could be processed with the influence of the gospel?
That is what Gospelling Life Together is all about.
We have found that churches need to experience the change that only the gospel can bring before any changes can be implemented in the organization. This is key to renewing communities of faith.
Gospelling Life Together trains local leadership in how to apply the gospel to each other in an easy to use and practical way.
So before you try to bring change with another strategy, infuse the culture of your church with the gospel. Contact CMM to learn more about how Gospelling Life Together can help you congregation.

I completed my psychological evaluation for surgical clearance today, and now all of the testing is complete. I'm seeing my doctor on Tuesday, at which point she will have to send in some additional paperwork. If all goes well I'll be able to schedule a surgery date soon.
If I need to wait until after September to have it, which is a very real possibility, then I'll plan to do it in January. Either way, I'm ready to know the timeline because I'm tired of thinking about it, talking about it, wondering about it, etc.
I'm also actively trying to shift my focus from my impending surgery because I'm tired of hearing everyone's opinion about it. I know that I invited the opinions of others the moment I shared the news that I was exploring the process, and I did that for specific reasons.
Weight Loss Surgery is a big deal, and I didn't want to hide the fact that I'm doing it. I don't want it o be a secret; I just want people to understand that just because I'm not terrified doesn't mean that I don't understand the risks, the difficulty of the post-surgery and the potential for life-altering changes. I do appreciate the support, encouragement and testimonials I've heard from many of you, so keep those coming!
If my doctor thinks I should wait a few months to do it I'll do that. If my doctor and the surgeon give me the go ahead I'll do that. After a week or so of eating junk that I don't usually eat (since I wasn't sure when I'd get to do it again) t'm at peace about the process. It's ridiculous to think that I ate doughnuts twice last week after eating only once or twice all year simply because of the impending changes. Thankfully, I kicked my own butt back into reality, and I'm prepared to do whatever my doctor suggests because I want to set myself up to experience the utmost success.
My skin no longer hurts so much that it keeps me from exercising, sweating or moving. It was a rough period of about 7 weeks total, but for the last 7 or 8 days I've felt 99% okay. I'm still reminded of the areas that aren't healed, but sitting down, standing up and stepping into the shower no longer brings me to tears like it did.
I'm preparing for a 5k that I'm doing with my boyfriend and friends on September 10th, so right now my focus is on cardio, cardio, cardio. They'll all finish in under half an hour, but it'll take me about 67 minutes. I'm okay with that because they'll be waiting for me on the field inside the Superdome, where the race ends.
I've done everything I'm supposed to do, and now I have to wait. I'm more patient than most would expect, and I sincerely do want to do what my doctors think is best. Time flies, so I'm going to enjoy the next few days, weeks and months. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where my health is a year from now.
Until then…

A Texas contractor has been convicted of stealing more than $100,000 from families desperate to rebuild their homes destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.
The New Orleans Advocate reports 64-year-old Malachi Crump of Fort Worth was found guilty Monday of three counts of felony theft -- one each for the three families he swindled.
Crump, on parole and never licensed in Louisiana, owned Chimere's Builders in Fort Worth. He signed contracts with three elderly women promising to completely renovate their homes. They gave him thousands in down payments and some wrote additional checks for supplies. Authorities say he did some work at some houses and nothing at others. When the homeowners began asking questions, he disappeared.
Crump's attorney, Eusi Phillips, argued that any disagreement about the quality of his work was a civil matter better resolved through a lawsuit.
"This case is in the wrong building," he said. "It should be down the street in Civil District Court."
The jury disagreed and found him guilty as charged.
"This isn't a civil case; this is a thief and a con man," Assistant District Attorney Lauren Favret said during her opening statements.
State District Judge Frank Marullo will sentence Crump next month. He faces up to five years on each count but he could also be called back to Texas. He was convicted there in 1994 of possession of cocaine and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was released in 2002 and scheduled to remain on parole through 2018.
One of Crump's victims testified Monday that she wrote him an initial check for $20,000 to fix up her home in New Orleans East, followed that with three more, for a total of $43,000.
Phillips questioned why she continued to pay him if she thought he wasn't holding up his end of the contract
"I can't explain it, I was at a state where I just wanted to get home," said Sandra David. "I just wanted to go home."
She left the courtroom crying.
Crump wired her house for electricity and put up the drywall, then disappeared. He never installed the cabinets, the air conditioning, hot water heater, bathtubs, sinks, carpet, tile or paint. He stopped answering her calls.
An inspector discovered the electrical work he had done was not up to code, and the dry wall and wiring had to be ripped out and replaced.
Davis and her husband ultimately paid another contractor another $34,000 to complete the house.
Her husband, still furious six years later, called him a "clown," a "fool," and "a narcissist."
"It was one lie after another lie after another lie," Brian Davis said on the stand.
Carl Bourque, an investigator with the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, told jurors Crump has never been licensed to legally perform contracting work in the state.

Private Coaching with Roman Lappat
After rediscovering the hobby a few years ago and painting on and off by myself as a way to relax I was slowly beginning to burn out. This was in the beginning of 2016 and in an attempt to revitalize the hobby for me I signing up for a beginners class with Roman Lappat in the early summer of 2016. This class improved my painting skills, sparked my creativity and left me curious to learn more from Roman and thus the basis for a private coaching was born. (more…)

Exclusive Interview: Harold Evensky on Fiduciary: The Name is the Game
Over the years we have gotten to know Harold Evensky very well, both through following him through the press and in our own discussions with him. Often referred to as a "dean" among financial advisers, he has experience in both the practical and academic worlds. He is Chairman of Evensky & Katz, a fee-only wealth management firm and Professor of Practice at Texas Tech University. He holds degrees from Cornell University. Evensky served on the national IAFP Board, Chair of the TIAA-CREF Institute Advisor Board, Chair of the CFP Board of Governors and the International CFP Council. Evensky is author of The New Wealth Management and co-editor of The Investment Think Tank and Retirement Income Redesigned.
FN: First off, Harold, congratulations on receiving TD Ameritrade's Fiduciary Advocacy Award last year. Your body of work is well known, well appreciated, and well recognized. Thinking back on your decades as a financial professional, what's the one thing you learned as a civil engineer and Florida home builder that helped you most in your transition to the financial planning industry?
Evensky: Don't count on stable markets. It was interest rate volatility; i.e., one day tons of money available for mortgages at reasonable rates and the next no money at any rate.
FN: We last time spoke with you in 2014 and much has changed in the industry since that time. Let's start with the years-long process that eventually led to the unveiling of the DOL's Conflict-of-Interest (a.k.a. "Fiduciary") Rule in 2016. In what ways did the process prove to be successful? What might you have done differently in the process and why?
Evensky: So far it has not been very successful from a regulatory stand point but very successful in bringing the issue to the media and public's attention. As for what could have been done differently, I'm afraid I have no idea as the problem is politicians and I don't have an answer as to how to overcome their primary motivating force – being reelected.
FN: Speaking of the Fiduciary Rule as original released in its final form, where do you see its greatest strengths? What were its potential weaknesses?
Evensky: The greatest Strength is the requirement of a REAL fiduciary standard for anyone providing financial advice. On the other hand, it's greatest Weakness is putting a square peg in a round hole; i.e., allowing for commissions.
FN: Now that we've had new administration thoroughly examine the Fiduciary Rule with a new set of eyes, where do you see it heading?
Evensky: Nowhere
FN: Lately, the SEC has increased talk about its own Fiduciary Standard. In what ways is the SEC's perspective on this different from the DOL's? What does this say about the prospects of harmonizing the standard between the two regulatory arms?
Evensky: I'm not very optimistic. The SEC is much more politically oriented. As for harmonization, that's an euphemism for 'water down.'
FN: In many ways, the original concept of creating a uniform fiduciary standard dealt with leveling the playing field between professional service providers who, while offering what appeared to be the same service, fell under different and incompatible regulatory regimes. Why was this unlevel playing field unfair? How did it benefit some professionals and how did it harm other professionals?
Evensky: The unlevel playing field is unfair as it allows those practitioners held to a caveat emptor level regulation to present themselves to the public as fiduciaries.
FN: The term "adviser" and "advisor" are used interchangeably in the marketplace. What's the difference between them? How does this confuse customers?
Evensky: There is no practical difference between the two in the eyes of the customer. Both suggest a level of relationship well beyond the standard of a brokerage relationship.
FN: What do you see as the best way for true fiduciaries to overcome this confusion within the market?
Evensky: Nothing short of the SEC controlling the use of titles. That's currently a major effort of the Committee for the Fiduciary Standard. Click here the Committee's January 12, 2018 letter to SEC Chairman Jay Clayton on this.
FN: Changing to other topics, we see growing discussion concerning the prospects of Congress finally taking action to approve open 401k MEPs. How might this help bring company sponsored retirement plans to more employees, in particular, those working for smaller companies that currently have a hard time providing a retirement plan?
Evensky: I must admit to limited familiarity with the MEP movement but, at least on the surface, it would seem to be an attractive concept as "pooling" would potentially allow for significant cost benefit for small firms offering a plan.
FN: What concerns do you have with state-sponsored retirement plans for private employees? How might these issues be alleviated (assuming they can)?
Evensky: Again, limited familiarity but my major concern would be defaulting to state government management versus independent professionals. As you can tell, I'm a bit wary of politicians.
FN: What do you see as the primary advantages of having children save through an IRA and what do you think can be done to encourage more parents to help their children establish a Child IRA? [Ed. Note: You can read more about it here: http://childira.com/ – just scroll down below the sliding picture and click the links to the relevant articles.]
Evensky: Compounding! Obviously the earlier funded the better. What might be done? Education of the parents regarding the potential long-term benefits for their children.
FN: Do you have any other thoughts or ideas you feel our readers might benefit from?
Evensky: I would just reemphasize the importance of controlling the use of titles.
FN: Harold, on behalf of the readers of FiduciaryNews.com, let me again congratulate you on being awarded TD Ameritrade's 2017 Fiduciary Advocacy Award. As usual, your thoughts have been a fountain of common sense, reflecting both your strong experience and passionate philosophy. Thanks for sharing that with us and we look forward to seeing how your advocacy helps retirement savers!

Hard Working: Free Labor, Not Always an Easy Sell
As the economy sinks and the ranks of the unemployed swell, more and more people are looking to volunteer. It can be a great way to meet new people, help others in need, and get out of the house. You might think all the free, skilled labor would be a boon to non-profit organizations, but it turns out the reality can be a little more complicated.
The Northern Illinois Food Bank in St. Charles has so many volunteers these days that it's booked up for Saturdays until June. People come in to sort food and put it in boxes.
For an organization like the food bank, the volunteer influx is great. Training new people is fast and easy: a quick video, a short explanation, and off they go.
MILNE: The only commitment we ask them to make is to stay for that 3 hours. If they can come every week that's amazing. If they can come twice a week that's more amazing. But if it's once a month or a Tuesday morning this week or a Wednesday next week we work with that.
Volunteer Coordinator Tia Milne says some of the volunteers are responding to the need they see on the news and in their community.
But a big part of the volunteer swell is made up of people who are out of a job, looking for something to do. Many with a lot to offer. It turns out they might not find a lot of organizations willing or able to use their skills.
WEISBROD: Do you want volunteers that are here today and gone tomorrow?
That's Professor Burton Weisbrood. He teaches economics at Northwestern University. He says volunteer labor isn't free for organizations. For places where you do more than pack boxes, there can be significant costs to training and integrating volunteers into a workplace. People in the middle of a job hunt may not be the best bet.
WEISBROD: Those people are not people that you want to invest a lot of time and energy in, in training them much, because the training costs you time and effort. And if tomorrow or next month or two months for now if they get a job and find something better to do, they leave.
The costs to an organization of bringing out-of-work people in as volunteers can outweigh the benefits.
WEISBROD: People who want to volunteer their high level skills are very likely to be disappointed.
BERMAN: The general rule of thumb is that a volunteer cannot do a staff job.
Shawna Berman is the manager of volunteer services at the DuPage Convalescent Center in Wheaton. Her volunteers talk and listen with residents, they deliver mail, they can help push residents from their room to physical therapy. She asks most adult volunteers for at least a 6 month commitment. The selection process is significant; it involves an interview, a background check, training and orientation.
BERMAN: I think the biggest challenge is that we have a lot of people that are unemployed. They are looking to fill gaps in their resume. They are looking for job experience, trying to gain some experience in the health care industry. So we see a lot of people who are trying to get something out of it as much as we are trying to get something out of them.
Berman says she tries to find ways for interested volunteers to fit in at the organization because she does need and want people to help out. But sometimes she has to point people to other places. In the end, she has to do what's right for her workplace.
BERMAN: It's frustrating to go through that whole process and then find out, boom, you don't have a volunteer when it's all said and done.
It's a calculation that many non-profits are forced to make. And a reality that may make it hard for the unemployed-professional to land a volunteer position that will allow her to use or develop the skills she has. Sometimes, especially in this economy, it's not as easy as walking in and helping out.

Fishing for a good deal? Our Annual Used Book Sale is coming up soon –March 7 to 10, 2019 – at the Elm Grove Library. The Friends began the sale 33 years ago! Its purpose is still the same — to donate funds to the Elm Grove Library for purchasing new items for the Library's collection. The sale benefits residents in Elm Grove plus every library user in Waukesha and Jefferson counties.
The Used Book Sale has earned the reputation of being the region's biggest and best organized event. It also features a "Collector's Table" (which offers 500 to 900 rare, unique or collectible items), all individually priced.
For many people, the sale is also a social event. The shoppers are often friends and neighbors of the 80 Friends members who volunteer for a shift or two during the event. It is not uncommon to see the same people shop during each of the three days, nor those who had volunteered to return do their own shopping.
All Friends of Elm Grove Library members can attend the "Preview Night" on Thursday, March 7 6-9 pm. The sale is open to the public on Friday, March 8 9 am-7 pm, Saturday, March 9 1/2 price 9 am – 5 pm and Sunday, March 10 "Bag Sale" 12 pm -4 pm. Come see.

Excerpt Slave of Love
Marcus Wiverton, Earl of Wyburn, stood looking at his reflection in
the mirror. He saw the face of a nineteen-year old man, untouched by sin, pain or guilt, still as handsome as the night he had gone to her, the great courtesan—more properly known as the Queen of Lust.
Could it really be ten years since that night? He turned away from the mirror, glancing at the bed where the body of a young woman lay slumped in death. Helene Brockelton. She was beautiful, passionate and so full of life, now dead. Not at his hand but because of him—because she could not
live without what he gave her. And he could not love. He laughed bitterly, for the irony of his situation was that he was considered a wonderful lover. Women begged him to lie with them, because only he could satisfy their needs. Once they had lain in his bed no other man would ever be
It was not vanity that made him think as he did, but the simple truth. It was the gift she had given him that night—that witch! A groan of anguish broke from him as he recalled all the things he had done since then—the hearts he had broken, the lives ruined, marriages torn apart. He was known as a wicked seducer. Mothers warned their daughters not to speak to him, and yet they were drawn against their will…drawn like moths to the flame, curious, innocent and then willing slaves to Lust.

The floral design business is a great career for working at home. There are, however 4 precautions to consider if you're going to go for it:
On the upside though, floral design is the only design occupation that does not require formal college training--that's a plus--most floral designers learn their skills on the job.
Consider getting a part-time job in a grocery florist section as a way of honing your skills for your own business.
This is a job for those who have creativity, a flair for arranging flowers, and a desire to learn. You can go to a private floral school, vocational school, or a community college--many have programs and award certificates in floral design.
For the many floral designers who manage their own work at home crafts businesses, additional courses in business, accounting, marketing, and computer technology can be helpful.
Floral designers must be creative, service oriented, and able to communicate their ideas visually and verbally. Because trends in floral design change quickly, designers must be open to new ideas and react quickly to changing trends.
Problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and under pressure also are important traits. Individuals in this field need self-discipline to budget their time and meet deadlines.
Opportunities in the floral design business are expected to be good because of the need to replace workers who leave the occupation.
The demand for floral decorations will continue to grow as flower sales increase with the population and the lavishness of weddings and other special events that require floral decorations.
Even with the recent downturn in the economy, I believe people will continue to demand fresh flowers in their homes and offices. Flowers bring good cheer and beauty to the atmosphere.
In addition, people are spending more time at home. Increased spending on interior design also is expected to create more demand for stylish artificial arrangements for homes and businesses.
If this sounds like the work at home crafts business for you, go for it!
Two extra tips:

The Good
Stevie Ray is probably best known as the bigger and not-as-talent brother of Booker T. The two partnered for a long time as Harlem Heat and were a very good tag team before splitting and going in very different career directions. While I was never a big fan of his work, Stevie Ray undoubtedly had a certain charisma that was never fully tapped. Sid Vicious, who brought them into WCW from Global, thought Stevie Ray was the real talent in the pair. Stevie certainly had the love for pro-wrestling that propelled himself and his younger brother into the business in the first place. What was amazing about this interview is that Stevie Ray really seems like a guy who should've gone so much further, but was never in that perfect spot. He was a massive guy, a decent promo and a competent worker, but he clearly has an insight into the sport that never came out. WCW tried him out as a commentator and interview, but did not nurture him properly. One can hear in this interview that Stevie Ray is a well-spoken and well-read individual and that matched with his unique catchphrases could've led him to being a quality color man like Tazz or even his brother nowadays. In this interview, Stevie Ray got himself over and someone with a distinct viewpoint on the profession and one that needs to be expounded upon. One particular facet of his career that was interesting was his belief that when the Harlem Heat hooked up with Sherri Martel, they were all able to push their careers to another level and that they did something special that was lost when she was fired.
The Bad
As much as I found this shoot interview interesting, Highspots shoots conducted by people other than Michael Bochicchio are never as good. Clearly they wanted to limit the questions or discussion of Booker T (which is good to a point, but seemed odd here), there was little discussion of "Big T" Ahmed Johnson (who described Stevie Ray as one of his closest friends in the business) and there just something missing about this otherwise shockingly good interview. Stevie Ray has a keen mind on the business and it seems like this could've focused more on his perspectives on things because many times he had something interesting to say. I particularly found his concepts of pushing blacks in pro-wrestling, the lack of "superstars" in the current product and even the WWE's inadequate pushing of Booker were all fascinating and should've been explored deeper.

Good evening sweethearts! I have just returned from another exam of one of my students and about to leave for an evening with one of my favourite girls. We are going to have some drinks in a bar not too far away from home which is totally ok with me. The week was tough and the weekend is going to be tough as well. As the weather is getting more and more beautiful, it's the invasion of tourists coming to my sweet little medieval town Seligenstadt. So the weekend will be filled with one guided tour after the other…Definitely time to chill out a little bit this evening…
Before I am going to leave, I just wanted to share with you my look of this week which is all about the summer trend 2016…Ethno Style. What I love about the outfit of Alessandra Ambrosio is the combination of a very cool and minimal denim style with a white T-shirt, grey boots and statement bag. The fringed Ethno cardigan in the Spring/Summer colours 2016 sets the perfect accent to this timeless and stylish look.
Guys, I hope you love the outfit? If so, don't hesitate to comment on my blog. Thank you so much for being there and stopping by to follow my blog. I see you in a few days. Do not forget to enjoy some fashionable moments.

Wonderful tales of the Old West laden with history and adventure are presented in Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre, a half-hour western anthology TV series that debuted on CBS, October 5, 1956 and ran for 5 whole seasons. Dick Powell served as the host for the entire series and also starred as various characters in 15 episodes. The series was originally based on the short stories and novels of western author Zane Grey, but as the series continued, new material was included. Aaron Spelling, who later became a legend in Hollywood, wrote twenty Zane Grey episodes. Zane Grey Theatre was also ground-breaking for producing five episodes which were spun-off into subsequent TV series: (1) Trackdown (from Season one's "Badge of Honor") starring Robert Culp as Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman, (2) The Rifleman (from Season 2's "The Sharpshooter") with Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain, (3) Black Saddle (from Season 2's "Threat of Violence" with Chris Alcaide instead of series star Peter Breck as Clay Culhane), (4) Johnny Ringo (from Season 3's "Man Alone") starring Don Durant, and (5) The Westerner (from Season 3's "Trouble at Tres Cruces") starring Brian Keith as Dave Blassingame. In addition, Wanted: Dead or Alive, with Steve McQueen playing the bounty hunter Josh Randall, was a CBS spinoff of Trackdown, and Law of the Plainsman, starring Michael Ansara as a Harvard-educated, Native American U.S. Marshal was an NBC spin-off of The Rifleman.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, 2015 – As crazy as it may sound, hope for the future may reside in the Syrian refugee crisis. Instead of fighting over the refugee crisis, it's time to stop attacking each other, grab this moment and come together to do the right thing.
Americans are incredibly charitable in big ways like responding to natural disasters and small ones like "paying it forward" for someone's Starbucks. We can harness this impulse to help the refugees and use it to unite us rather than divide us.
After more than four years of civil war in Syria and the rise of ISIS, the people of America, not just the politicians and pundits, are having conversations over dinner tables and at community meetings about how to help the refugees.
Bits and pieces of the conflicts in the Middle East have briefly stirred the conscience of America. Remember President Obama's red line over Syria's use chemical weapons in 2013 or the dramatic relief effort in Iraq for the Yazidis in the summer of 2014? After new developments sparked a mass migration into Europe this summer, many Americans have been awakened to the crisis once again.
Perhaps the attacks of radical Islamists in Paris, Mali, Beirut, Sinai and Kenya will keep America's attention on this devastating situation a little longer.
Most Americans agree that we should help the refugees. To borrow a line from Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham": "Should we help them here or there, should we help them anywhere?" We should help them, and we seem to want to help them. So let's do it. Let's provide the refugees with shelter, food, medical care and some semblance of security.
But where? Should it be near their home, in Europe or in America?
Many on the right feel that the military can make a safe zone in Syria that will stem the flow of migrants to Europe and reduce the need to relocate them in America. They are concerned that the jihadis might infiltrate the refugees.
Many on the left want to avoid further military involvement in Syria and Iraq, preferring to help refugees escape the war zone. They feel that the background checks performed on those coming to America will screen out any who wish us harm.
There can be a compromise. Whatever is decided, it will take precious time because the wheels of government grind slowly.
Americans can take action now.
As we prayed for the people of Paris, we can pray for the refugees in the Middle East. One of the great things about prayer is that it is not a one-way conversation. In your prayers be open to the thoughts that come to you about how you can help.
This spark of compassion can unite us as Americans. Being compassionate is not only important because Jesus said so or because it is the right thing to do. It is important as a way to show gratitude. The desire to care for others is a reflection of gratitude to God for the blessings of life and liberty.
Now is the time to put our gratitude into action and put our money where our compassion is – regardless of which side of the refugee debate you are on.
There are a number of organizations helping the refugees right now that could use your support. Talk to your family and friends and come up with a plan to send some money or raise funds to support the organization of your choice. Check to see if your church, synagogue or mosque is already helping. Do a simple search to find a group whose passion for the refugees matches your own.
If you have suggestions, put them in the comment section. I personally support Samaritan's Purse, whose work helps people of all faiths: http://www.samaritanspurse.org. I also support two organizations that help the Christian communities ISIS has targeted for extinction: the Cradle Fund, http://www.cradlefund.org and Mercury One/Nazarene Fund, http://www.mercuryone.org. Mercury One has collected over $12 million and is working to relocate Christian refugees outside the Middle East.
Help where your heart leads you. May you feel the blessing of putting your compassion into action.

Halifax Harriers' Max Burgin made a stunning Great Britain debut at the European Under 18 Championships in Gyor, Hungary.
He was not only a runaway winner of the 800 metres, but set a Championship record and a new world best for a 16-year-old.
It was another illustration of the Crossley Heath School pupil's huge talent and that he is one of the country's top sporting prospects.
Burgin always looked in control through the heats and semi-final in Hungary.
When it came to the final he made his intentions clear from the start, quickly moving to the front and dominating throughout.
After 400 metres he had a lead of several metres and continued to pile on the pressure. By the end he was well clear and won in a new Championship record of 1:47.36.
His time was the best ever for his age and the fastest time this year for an under 18.
Second place went to Spain's Eric Guzman (1:49.19) and in third place was Portugal's Joao Miguel Peixoto (1:49.42).
Burgin is coached by his grandfather Brian and lives at Well Head, Halifax.

Fizik Aliante R3 K:ium Saddle
The Fi'zi:k Aliante R3 K:ium is light, flexible and agile, enabling you to perform at your best. Fi'zi:k launched the first Aliante in 1999. During the intervening years it has become one of the most loved and favoured saddles in the world, by both pros and enthusiasts alike.
The Aliante is one of Fi'zi:k's three Spine Concept™ men's road saddle shapes. Of these three, the Aliante shape is the widest and most longitudinally waved. If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight and shoulders width apart), according to the concept you are a Bull. Your degree of spinal flexibility will top out quite quickly when attempting to adopt the performance position. For this reason, you will rotate your pelvis fully so you will benefit from the increased curvature support of the Aliante shape.
The saddle features a composite fiberglass co-injected nylon shell for support and an optimized stiffness to-weight construction – with Twin Flex technology which combines a strong, stiff layer with a flexible, comfortable layer.
The rail is constructed of an alloy called K:ium, a Fi'zi:k proprietary rail formulation. It's the combination of a particular metal alloy, a specific tubular design and a special finishing process which increases fatigue performance on the rail surface. It has an 8% weight reduction compared to solid titanium. K:ium features a high strength-to-weight ratio grade and high corrosion resistance.
This saddle is available in two widths to provide the perfect fit for more riders.
- Shell: Composite Fibreglass Co-Injected Nylon TwinFlex
- Rail: K:ium
- Cover: Thermowelded Black Microtex
- Rear cover: Anthracite/Black Microtex
- Scuff guards: Black
- Integrated clip system compatible
- Weight from 215g

Mexican Street Corn is a easy peasy side dish and a perfect side dish for any Mexican or Tex-Mex inspired meal. It's got a bunch of flavor and you can spice it up as much as you'd like!
I've had requests upon requests to get this up as soon as I possibly can, and I have a moment of free time.
So here's my gift to you in honor of Miss Pepper's Birthday Week, "Mexican-Style Street Corn" also known as "Elotes".
Now that summer is here, we will soon have access to loads and loads of fresh sweet corn from the farm, so soon there will probably be corn in just about every recipe, so hope y'all like corn! I mean there's not many things better than some fresh summer sweet corn!
Okay, maybe a baby eating their first cob ever is better than fresh summer sweet corn!
P.S. How many times do you think I'll say Fresh Summer Sweet Corn this summer? Start your bets, guys.
I'll start off by saying that I'm so thankful that I've had a friendship with a lady who basically grew up in Mexico, and came to the United States when she was about 15 years old. This seems like a million years ago when we used to cook together, but she taught me some really awesome things in the kitchen when it came to Mexican cuisine. I will NEVER say I am good at it, because all that I do is from memory, and let's be honest, I lost my memory after having Miss Pepper. I've lost two debit cards, two sets of car keys, a social security card, pants… that's right, pants. The list goes on.
what was I saying?
Oh yes! Mexican Street Corn and the lovely woman who taught me wonderful things in the kitchen. She did not teach me how to make this, but she did bring me to this amazing Mexican Food Market where they sold this little cup of deliciousness out of a small cart in front of the market.
I've had it twice in my life, probably close to 8 years ago, and I can still taste it in my mouth like it was yesterday! It's just not something you forget. When I set out to Lighten this up, I honestly didn't think I could do it. I mean, mayonnaise… and lots of it. But I focused more on the unique tastes and spiciness, rather than the creamy mayonnaise part. Don't worry! This is still creamy as can be. Who would have thought you could still have something like this and NOT feel guilty about it?
I've always accepted a challenge, and this my friends, is how you lighten up Mexican Street Corn. This is literally all from a memory so please don't scold me if I forgot anything important! When I took my first taste of the dish I made, it took me right back to being 19 years old in front of that awesome little food market.
Food can be so wonderfully nostalgic!
Let's start with some corn! You do not need to use fresh corn cut off the cob, you may use canned or frozen, whatever you fancy! But when I can get it, I prefer it freshly cut off the cob.
Next pile on your mayo, sour cream, cayenne pepper, green onions, and most importantly, Ground Queso Cotija.
(I use Supremo Brand- you can buy it in wedge form and grate it yourself, or you can buy it in a container that looks like the Parmesan Cheese Shakers. This is found in the refrigerated section where they keep different Mexican cheeses, tortillas, and chorizo. If you have trouble finding this cheese go ahead and use Queso Fresco. It works beautifully!)
Then go ahead and load it into a small pan and warm it through on the stove over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until heated. To save on time and dishes you can also use your microwave and heat for about 1 1/2 minutes. I've done both ways. It comes out exactly the same, I promise!
Now dish up a serving and top with some of your favorite hot sauce and bit more cayenne pepper if you like the heat! Don't forget a lil cilantro to make it even better.
(The spicier the better in my world!)
Hope you all enjoy!
Mexican Street Corn
- 3 cups corn kernels cooked
- 1/4 cup light mayo
- 2 tbs non fat sour cream
- 3 1/2 tbs Ground Cotija Cheese Queso Fresco works well too
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- juice of one lime
- hot sauce of your choice for topping
- green onions optional
- cilantro optional
Mix corn, mayo, sour cream, green onions, cayenne pepper, chili powder, juice of one lime, and Queso Cotija together until well combined.
- Heat in a small pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until heated through. (You can also heat up in the microwave for 1 1/2- 2 minutes)
- Top individual portions with hot sauce and/or extra cayenne for extra heat!
- Enjoy!
