Week 11 Managing Money

So, I learned about Managing money and some of the tools that there are to do so, provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Financial calculating tools are available on the Provident Living website and the instruction we were taught during the week was an opportunity to share experiences with each other.  Some of the other students considered their parents to be excellent examples of good financial management.  I consider my Dad to be excellent at penny pinching and saving overall, but he's not very good at investing wisely, so I didn't say much if anything in the class, so as to save him from a unknowingly suffering a moderate report on him.  Some of the stories were very impressive.

When one student said they had been raised in comfort but did not know how to do anything to take care of themself, and then they had to learn all at once for their family, they commented that it was actually a disservice rather than nice that their teaching was neglected.  We as a class agreed that it is an act of love to teach children to work and earn money when they can and to feel the obligation to provide for themselves and live in a self-reliant manner.

Week 12 Family Relationship Goals

Our objectives for the family are a little complex, I think.  I have to find a way to improve my family relationships and have two goals to do so for two respective relationships.  I think any of my step siblings or my parents could work, so first I will call my mother once per week, preferably on Sunday. That will be goal one and it will end in one month.  for goal two, I will avoid saying anything that might sound less than respectful to or about my dad.  This will also last one month, so it should be checked a couple of months before father's day.  Since I already do this, making a goal of it is a way of keeping me from slipping up when he might be sensitive to it.  Also, I am usually so busy that my mother doesn't know when to call me, and I hardly know when I can call anyone beside my employment manager.  That's all for now.  I guess I will see if this is effective: Call Mother once per week, especially Sunday Avoid common or low speakin...

RELPC 122

Now, there had been no bread, neither wine, brought by the disciples, neither by the multitude; But he truly gave unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink. 3 Nephi 20:6,7 The Lord considered the people valuable, and so he considered their having experiences like unto the people in Israel valuable too.  He did things for them the same, even if it was a bit condensed.  He also did or said a bit more, for their was faith enough among them.

Side focus of programming again to renew m drive

I have a renewed interest in C and Ada programming.  Since I worked on a project for a long time that was ultimately in vain -- a shell written in pure Ada -- I have realized that with the Ada-run-time limitations, the only way I can create a shell that works on multiple operating systems is to write in the code base that is most common between them.  That is C.  Objective C is the primary for macOS, C++, and a little more and more C#, is the primary for MS Windows, but those directly support C calls and syntax and C is the primary for Linux, so there you go.  C preprocessing also allows me to write conditional code for each operating system, so that I can artificially create the kind of interface to the system that matches one Ada library regardless of what system it is compiled on.  These are the definitions I have fortunately discovered:     __linux__       Defined on Linux     __sun        ...
