Sitting in Judgment
by Banjo Paterson
The show ring was a circular enclosure of about four acres, with a spiked batten fence round it, and a listless crowd of back-country settlers propped along the fence. Behind them were the sheds for produce, and the machinery sections where steam threshers and earth scoops hummed and buzzed and thundered unnoticed. Crowds of sightseers wandered past the cattle stalls to gape at the fat bullocks; side-shows flourished, a blase goose drew marbles out of a tin canister, and a boxing showman displayed his muscles outside his tent, while his partner urged the youth of the district to come in and be thumped for the edification of the spectators.
Suddenly a gate opened at the end of the show ring, and horses, cattle, dogs, vehicles, motor-cars, and bicyclists crowded into the arena. This was the general parade, but it would have been better described as a general chaos. Trotting horses and ponies, in harness, went whirling round the ring, every horse and every driver fully certain that every eye was fixed on them; the horses -- the vainest creatures in the world -- arching their necks and lifting their feet, whizzed past in bewildering succession, till the onlookers grew giddy. Inside the whirling circle blood stallions stood on their hind legs, screaming defiance to the world at large; great shaggy-fronted bulls, with dull vindictive eyes, paced along, looking as though they were trying to remember who it was that struck them last. A showground bull always seems to be nursing a grievance.
Mixed up with the stallions and bulls were dogs and donkeys. The dogs were led by attendants, apparently selected on the principle of the larger the dog the smaller the custodian; while the donkeys were the only creatures unmoved by their surroundings, for they slept peaceably through the procession, occasionally waking up to bray their sense of boredom.
In the centre of the ring a few lady-riders, stern-featured women for the most part, were being "judged" by a trembling official, who feared to look them in the face, but hurriedly and apologetically examined horses and saddles, whispered his award to the stewards, and fled at top speed to the official stand -- his sanctuary from the fury of spurned beauty. The defeated ladies immediately began to "perform" -- that is, to ask the universe at large whether anyone ever heard the like of that! But the stewards strategically slipped away, and the injured innocents had no resource left but to ride haughtily round the ring, glaring defiance at the spectators.
All this time stewards and committee-men were wandering among the competitors, trying to find the animals for judgment. The clerk of the ring -- a huge man on a small cob -- galloped around, roaring like a bull: "This way for the fourteen stone 'acks! Come on, you twelve 'and ponies!" and by degrees various classes got judged, and dispersed grumbling. Then the bulls filed out with their grievances still unsettled, the lady riders were persuaded to withdraw, and the clerk of the ring sent a sonorous bellow across the ground: "Where's the jumpin' judges?"
From the official stand came a brisk, dark-faced, wiry little man. He had been a steeplechase rider and a trainer in his time. Long experience of that tricky animal, the horse, had made him reserved and slow to express an opinion. He mounted the table, and produced a note-book. From the bar of the booth came a large, hairy, red-faced man, whose face showed fatuous self-complacency. He was a noted show-judge because he refused, on principle, to listen to others' opinions; or in those rare cases when he did, only to eject a scornful contradiction. The third judge was a local squatter, who was overwhelmed with a sense of his own importance.
They seated themselves on a raised platform in the centre of the ring, and held consultation. The small dark man produced his note-book.
"I always keep a scale of points," he said. "Give 'em so many points for each fence. Then give 'em so many for make, shape, and quality, and so many for the way they jump."
The fat man looked infinite contempt. "I never want any scale of points," he said. "One look at the 'orses is enough for me. A man that judges by points ain't a judge at all, I reckon. What do you think?" he went on, turning to the squatter. "Do you go by points?"
"Never," said the squatter, firmly; which, as he had never judged before in his life, was strictly true.
"Well, we'll each go our own way," said the little man. "I'll keep points. Send 'em in."
"Number One, Conductor!" roared the ring steward in a voice like thunder, and a long-legged grey horse came trotting into the ring and sidled about uneasily. His rider pointed him for the first jump, and went at it at a terrific pace. Nearing the fence the horse made a wild spring, and cleared it by feet, while the crowd yelled applause. At the second jump he raced right under the obstacle, propped dead, and rose in the air with a leap like a goat, while the crowd yelled their delight again, and said: "My oath! ain't he clever?" As he neared the third fence he shifted about uneasily, and finally took it at an angle, clearing a wholly unnecessary thirty feet. Again the hurricane of cheers broke out. "Don't he fly 'em," said one man, waving his hat. At the last fence he made his spring yards too soon; his forelegs got over all right, but his hind legs dropped on the rail with a sounding rap, and he left a little tuft of hair sticking on it.
"I like to see 'em feel their fences," said the fat man. "I had a bay 'orse once, and he felt every fence he ever jumped; shows their confidence."
"I think he'll feel that last one for a while," said the little dark man. "What's this now?"
"Number Two, Homeward Bound!" An old, solid chestnut horse came out and cantered up to each jump, clearing them coolly and methodically. The crowd was not struck by the performance, and the fat man said: "No pace!" but surreptitiously made two strokes (to indicate Number Two) on the cuff of his shirt.
"Number Eleven, Spite!" This was a leggy, weedy chestnut, half-racehorse, half-nondescript, ridden by a terrified amateur, who went at the fence with a white, set face. The horse raced up to the fence, and stopped dead, amid the jeers of the crowd. The rider let daylight into him with his spurs, and rushed him at it again. This time he got over.
Round he went, clouting some fences with his front legs, others with his hind legs. The crowd jeered, but the fat man, from a sheer spirit of opposition, said: "That would be a good horse if he was rode better." And the squatter remarked: "Yes, he belongs to a young feller just near me. I've seen him jump splendidly out in the bush, over brush fences."
The little dark man said nothing, but made a note in his book.
"Number Twelve, Gaslight!" "Now, you'll see a horse," said the fat man. "I've judged this 'orse in twenty different shows, and gave him first prize every time!"
Gaslight turned out to be a fiddle-headed, heavy-shouldered brute, whose long experience of jumping in shows where they give points for pace -- as if the affair was a steeplechase -- had taught him to get the business over as quickly as he could. He went thundering round the ring, pulling double, and standing off his fences in a style that would infallibly bring him to grief if following hounds across roads or through broken timber.
"Now," said the fat man, "that's a 'unter, that is. What I say is, when you come to judge at a show, pick out the 'orse you'd soonest be on if Ned Kelly was after you, and there you have the best 'unter."
The little man did not reply, but made the usual scrawl in his book, while the squatter hastened to agree with the fat man. "I like to see a bit of pace myself," he ventured.
The fat man sat on him heavily. "You don't call that pace, do you?" he said. "He was going dead slow."
Various other competitors did their turn round the ring, some propping and bucking over the jumps, others rushing and tearing at their fences; not one jumped as a hunter should. Some got themselves into difficulties by changing feet or misjudging the distance, and were loudly applauded by the crowd for "cleverness" in getting themselves out of the difficulties they had themselves created.
A couple of rounds narrowed the competitors down to a few, and the task of deciding was entered on.
"I have kept a record," said the little man, "of how they jumped each fence, and I give them points for style of jumping, and for their make and shape and hunting qualities. The way I bring it out is that Homeward Bound is the best, with Gaslight second."
"Homeward Bound!" said the fat man. "Why, the pace he went wouldn't head a duck. He didn't go as fast as a Chinaman could trot with two baskets of stones. I want to have three of 'em in to have another look at 'em." Here he looked surreptitiously at his cuff, saw a note "No. II.", mistook it for "Number Eleven", and said: "I want Number Eleven to go another round."
The leggy, weedy chestnut, with the terrified amateur up, came sidling and snorting out into the ring. The fat man looked at him with scorn.
"What is that fiddle-headed brute doing in the ring?" he said.
"Why," said the ring steward, "you said you wanted him."
"Well," said the fat man, "if I said I wanted him I do want him. Let him go the round."
The terrified amateur went at his fences with the rashness of despair, and narrowly escaped being clouted off on two occasions. This put the fat man in a quandary. He had kept no record, and all the horses were jumbled up in his head; but he had one fixed idea, to give the first prize to Gaslight; as to the second he was open to argument. From sheer contrariness he said that Number Eleven would be "all right if he were rode better," and the squatter agreed. The little man was overruled, and the prizes went -- Gaslight, first; Spite, second; Homeward Bound, third.
The crowd hooted loudly as Spite's rider came round with the second ribbon, and small boys suggested to the fat judge in shrill tones that he ought to boil his head. The fat man stalked majestically into the stewards' stand, and on being asked how he came to give Spite the second prize, remarked oracularly: "I judge the 'orse, I don't judge the rider." This silenced criticism, and everyone adjourned to have a drink.
Over the flowing bowl the fat man said: "You see, I don't believe in this nonsense about points. I can judge 'em without that."
Twenty dissatisfied competitors vowed they would never bring another horse there in their lives. Gaslight's owner said: "Blimey, I knew it would be all right with old Billy judging. 'E knows this 'orse."

Once upon an Instagram live…
09.26.2019|Parenting in a Digital World
By: Molly McGinn
How mobile tech inspired these sisters to write their own book series—and how their mom is finding balance and boundaries along the way.

When the phone alarm goes off at 8 PM, the girls have 30 minutes to get ready for a bedtime story. And Hailey doesn't like to be late.
The little reading nook in the dining room used to be the family's craft corner, but now the cubbies hold a small library of books, stacked and grouped by color. "Women who read, lead," is written in neat cursive on the nearby toy kitchen fridge. On a carpet with a cartoon illustration of the world, the girls get set up: a pillow poof to sit on, a step stool, laptop, and a ring light with a smartphone holder made specifically for video bloggers. They open the laptop, tap the phone, and they're live.
"Hey beautiful people. I'm Hailey. Thank you for joining us," says Hailey, looking into the laptop camera. "Go ahead and hit that share button and remember to show love by liking or loving this video."
For sisters Hailey and Zaria, this is the new "once upon a time." On weeknights they livestream their bedtime stories for children who may not have the luxury—or parents who may just need a break.
"I'm still wrapping my head around it," their mother Victoria says. Early on, she wasn't sure about her girls being on social media. "They asked me a million times," Victoria says. "Like really."
By 8:30 PM, with any luck and without technical glitches, Hailey at age 8 and Zaria at age 13 read a bedtime story over Facebook and Instagram Live. "Our main purpose is to read a book of our choice each night at a designated time so that children can have a bedtime story each night," the Facebook page says about the story time.
They started reading books live in March to a handful of viewers, mostly their mother Victoria, and their 14-month-old twin girls Harlow and Harper, who watched upstairs from their phones during bath time. Now, the most-watched story on their Facebook page is 13,000 viewers. The Facebook page has over 10,000 likes and is growing. They started a YouTube channel, and the girls are reading to raise money to buy books for a library in Ghana, West Africa.
"Now I watch them when they're in their room on the floor like, 'Oh we should do this next. And we should work on doing this and this.' " Victoria says about how the livestream has inspired the girl's creativity and collaboration offline, too. "And they'll talk to me like, 'Mom, what if we got connected with other schools to build libraries.' So we've been in contact with the police department, the YMCA, the school district, trying to see which schools have the most needs."
Once upon an idea
Each summer, Victoria, a professional organizer, asks the girls to do a summer project, such as start a lemonade stand or help a neighbor do laundry. Earlier this spring, the girls were thinking about what to do for the summer project when they got the idea.
"Well, every night we don't go to bed immediately," says Hailey, "but we brainstorm and talk to each other as we're going to sleep."
"We were specifically talking that night about what we were going to do with our summer," Zaria says. "Because we didn't want it to be like every other summer. We wanted to do something important. Then, we started talking about how some kids don't get the luxury to be read to. Then, we were like, you know what, we're going to read to kids this summer."
Victoria wasn't convinced.
"I thought, are people even reading books anymore?" Victoria says about her response when the girls first brought her the idea. "'Who's going to be watching you? What's your audience?' And they were like, 'Mom, it's going to be great. Parents are going to log in for their kids.'"
Raising a digital parent takes a village
"I'm in a million mommy groups," Victoria says about raising her kids in a digital age. She has five children: Hal is 15, Hailey and Zaria, 5-year-old Harrison, and the twins Harper and Harlow. She looks for help online, finds things on Pinterest and talks to moms with older kids.
Zaria got her first flip phone last year, and her first smartphone this year.
"The reason I like [the smartphone] is because I can limit everything," Victoria says. "I can control the whole phone from my phone." Zaria can use social media and watch YouTube for 30 minutes to an hour every evening, then she shuts it down. When Victoria gets home from work in the evenings, she turns off WiFi or changes the password until the girls do a few tasks.
Zaria also has a phone contract with Victoria. She turns off the phone at 9 PM each night. The phone goes away during family dinners. In the morning, the girls need to stick to their morning routines to keep using the tech. For Zaria, she meditates with affirmations three to five minutes every morning to help her get her day started right.
"Just things like that, they let me know when they've become very responsible," Victoria says about the girls using digital technology.
Live from Dover, Delaware
Once Victoria agreed, Zaria got to work setting up the tech—she's the tech whiz in the family. In those first couple of weeks, there were only two viewers, with Victoria being one of them.
"And they didn't get discouraged," Victoria says. "Even though they had nobody watching some nights, they kept doing it."
When Victoria realized how serious they were about it, Victoria got serious about it, too.
"When I get off work from my nine to five, I come home and they're my five to nine," she says.
Early on, Victoria thought it would be good for the girls to interact with the comments, but when a few weird comments turned up, she decided to have them turn off the computer as soon as they're done reading.
"They know to shut the laptop down, bring it to my room, and I go back through and I'll respond," Victoria says.
"I want to protect my babies," Victoria says. "I always tell them, when you do something online, think about how it would look three or four years from now. Every decision you make, it needs to be a future decision. Not a right-now decision."
Parenting online begins offline
"This, for me, you know, is digital parenting at its finest: Where parents bring those experiences and that maturity and those thought processes from the offline world into the online world," says digital parenting coach and consultant Elizabeth Milovidov. Based in Paris, France, Milovidov helps parents around the world learn how to raise their kids in the digital age.
Even with the risks associated with digital exposure, Milovidov stresses the importance of learning through those concerns to give children a creative experience—especially when it's being used to facilitate positive change.
Today's kids are more primed than ever to be social media influencers. In a recent survey of children ages eight to 12, the most sought-after job for kids in the US and UK was being a vlogger or YouTuber.
"And they can ask questions and they can help their children," Milovidov says about parents on the learning curve with digital technology. "They can provide answers that are based on their own experiences. And that is the best way to support a child. In fact, a lot of the times that children do get into trouble, it's because they didn't realize they had someone they could go to."
And they all wrote happily ever after
Now, with a few months of story time in the books, the girls have five pre-recorded stories on reserve in case the family is running late, wants to do something else or someone isn't feeling well.
"I don't want them to feel restricted to being home at a certain time to go live," Victoria says. "We don't try to confine our time to be at home so we can do our outdoor things.
In recent weeks, children's book authors have been reaching out to the girls, asking if they'd read one of their books live. Zaria's favorite author, April Henry, a young adult crime novelist, wrote to thank her for reviewing her book Girl, Stolen and sent her a signed copy of her new book.
The girls are also writing a story series of their own about growing up in a blended family called Mixed, Matched and All That. Their oldest brother, Hal lives in Mississippi and he's illustrating the stories. He'll text pictures of the drawings to the girls and they'll video chat on their phones to art direct the images. Zaria is writing the first story in the series: "Me, Myself and Mommy."
"I don't really know how to explain it, but we're just making a book," Zaria says about the process. "It's about all of our lives, but it starts off with me. She helped me a little bit on this one," Zaria says, looking at Hailey.
"I just help her when she doesn't write it right," Hailey says.
Is your child thinking about using social media for the greater good? Most social media apps prohibit children under the age of 13 from using the platforms, but with parental engagement and direction, you can help protect and nurture your child's interests.
Close the comment sections.
Milovidov suggests turning off the comments feature since it sometimes attracts inappropriate content. But, if someone clicks the thumbs down or dislike on the video, use it as a teaching opportunity, Moilovidov says. Just like one sister might like macaroni and cheese, but the other doesn't, that doesn't make the mac and cheese bad—it simply means that not everybody likes everything.
Brush up on the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
The Federal Trade Commission recently fined YouTube and Google $170 million for collecting personal information from viewers of child-directed channels, particularly shows created for children.
Dress appropriately.
With respect to audiences around the world who may be watching, dressing appropriately also shows respect for the people and the other viewers who may be watching.
Consider the siblings.
Not every child wants to be online. But, if other siblings are getting bullied or feeling left out, get ready for the conversation.
Read the terms and conditions on social platforms.
Think like a digital guardian. Understand the copyright and intellectual property rights you surrender when you publish images online. For example, once photos are uploaded to Facebook, you give Facebook and other platforms a license to use them.
Know your safety centers.
These social platforms each have some safety options. Explore those pages to know how to report and block aggressive users. "Obviously, there will be things happening where people do and say things," Milovidov says. "But, again, you can also use those things at teaching moments and guide children in how to use technology responsibly."

Okay, so "see" isn't quite the word, as he'll just be providing the voice for Lord Noothe, the pompous city governor in Early Man, the latest feature-length film […]
WATCH: Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston and Maisie Williams Team Up for 'Early Man'
If you're curious about what actually went down during prehistoric times, then the animated adventure-comedy Early Man will speed you up. Like, they had soccer! Who knew? Okay, possibly that bit is fictionalized, but it's fun to picture cavemen participating in a match of footie. More likely, the cavemen and women were hunting and scavenging, and this slightly more […]

Regina King ('Beale Street') on the Oscar buzz for her role in 'an honest depiction of the human experience'
Jacob Sarkisian
February 9, 2019 12:00PM
Regina King has won three Emmys (twice for her supporting work "American Crime" and one for her leading role in the miniseries "Seven Seconds"). She's already won a Golden Globe and a slew of critics awards for her scene-stealing performance as Sharon Rivers, the non-nonsense matriarch at the center of the action in "If Beale Street Could Talk."
And she is a strong contender at the Oscars for her work in Barry Jenkins' follow-up to "Moonlight." The veteran actress readily acknowledges her gratitude for being this chance. "Barry did a lovely job of showing that Sharon, while she is strong, while she is loving, she is still scared, she still has fears."
She speaks enthusiastically of newcomer Kiki Layne, who plays her on-screen daughter Tish. "Kiki is the daughter that I'll never have," says the actress. "I can't wait to see what she does and what the universe has in store for her. She is so committed to her art form. I feel lucky that this was her first film – that Barry put her around people who are professionals, who respect the set and the art form. On 'Beale Street,' she was on a set where everyone gave 150% and I am so proud to have been a part of that."
And King is proud of the reaction that the film is generating. "My son said it was the first time he saw himself. I didn't realize that men don't get the opportunity – that was such a tragic thing to happen to Fonny [Stephan James]. Men don't get to see themselves sensitive and strong at the same time. It's looked down upon. Most of the strongest, well-liked men I know are sensitive. I didn't realize how much we needed to show that. I'm so happy we ["Beale Street"] did."
SIGN UP for Gold Derby's free newsletter with latest predictionsWhile she was thrilled to get an Oscar nomination, she was disheartened that the film did not. "I would have loved for the film to be nominated [for Best Picture], it is a timeless piece of cinema," says King. "It is an honest depiction of the human experience. So there is disappointment, but it does not take away from the fact that I was lucky enough to be apart of this piece of art."
She does take some solace from that one of her favorite movies of the year, "Black Panther," did receive a nomination. Would she like to be involved in the sequel? "For sure, I'd love to be in 'Black Panther Two!' Who wouldn't? 'Black Panther' and 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' are both something we've never seen before," says King. "It's so great for young girls and boys to see themselves as heroic. The beautiful thing is that, somehow, black and brown children manage to feel like heroes anyway – but to actually see themselves on screen that way is huge."
Personally, I think she'd be an interesting choice for a villain – something we've not seen her do before and something the MCU hasn't really done before. Kevin Feige, you heard it here first.

BREAKING: Klay Thompson breaks All-Time NBA single-game three-point record
Klay Thompson is no longer under a cold spell and he just broke out of his shooting slump in style.
The Golden State Warriors shooting guard went on a rampage versus the Chicago Bulls on Monday night and he did so in record-breaking fashion by converting on 14 three-pointers on the night which breaks Stephen Curry's all-time NBA record.
Heck, Thompson isn't the only one breaking records. The Warriors nailed 17 three-pointers in the first half, a new NBA record.
The Warriors have set an NBA record for three-point field goals in a half with 17 (17-of-27 3FG). They have set a franchise record for points in a half with 92).
And as Monte Poole of NBC Sports points out, they've also shattered their previous franchise-record for points in a half.
"With 92 points in the first half, Warriors surpass their previous team record of 87 points in a half. 92 is second-highest first-half total in NBA history."
Furthermore, to top it all off, the Warriors' 92 points in the first half are the second-most in NBA history. The Phoenix Suns hold that record, scoring 107 points in a half back in 1990 versus the Denver Nuggets.
"Golden State's 92 first-half points are the second most ever in a first half. Phoenix scored 107 points in the first half vs. Denver on Nov. 10, 1990."
For the record, Thompson has 52 points and counting after knocking down his 14th triple of the evening.
Yeah, it's real, folks. The Splash Brothers are officially back and better than ever.

Q: How to use asm function in C I face a problem on my job to developing hadoop source code. I need to use function in an asm library. The API is given, for example:
uint32_t func(uint32_t var1,const char var2,uint64_t var3).
How can I use this function and get the return value in a C program? I always get undefined reference to "a function name(which I want to use asm api)".
Are there some typical declarations I have to add in C or something else?
It seems easy for professional C programmer and no worthy a question. But I am a Java programmer, really unfamiliar to ASM and C. I hope to get an answer efficiently.  Thank you.

A: Lets take gnu for example, gcc and the language itself tells us that if we declare a function as static then it is not available to other .c files.  In gnu assembler and assembly language is defined by the assembler not some universal language standard, a label is local unless declared global.
hello:
.globl there
there:

we would not be able to link to hello but we would be able to link to there.
Then you need to know the calling convention, which you can look up and read it and/or do experiments to figure it out.  Even if you read up on it to make sure the compiler you are using conforms to the one you are reading you should still do experiments, the compiler you are using will conform to whatever standard it is using, not the one you wish it to use, so make your asm match...
unsigned int fun ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b )
{
    return((a<<2)+b);
}

gives
00000000 <fun>:
   0:   e0810100    add r0, r1, r0, lsl #2
   4:   e12fff1e    bx  lr

this is arm, and in this case the parameters are passed in r0,r1,r2,r3 if they fit, and then go to the stack if you have more.  the return value is in r0 if it fits, there are lots of exceptions.  you can destroy r0-r3 in the function but have to preserve r4 on (there may be one exception to that).  so in this case r0 is shifted left 2 and added to r1 so r0 is a and r1 must then be b and the return value is in r0 per this experiment.
00000000 <fun>:
   0:   0f 5f           rla r15
   2:   0f 5f           rla r15
   4:   0f 5e           add r14,    r15
   6:   30 41           ret

using another instruction set r15 appears to be a and r14 b and the answer returned in r15
00000000 <_fun>:
   0:   1166            mov r5, -(sp)
   2:   1185            mov sp, r5
   4:   1d40 0004       mov 4(r5), r0
   8:   0cc0            asl r0
   a:   0cc0            asl r0
   c:   6d40 0006       add 6(r5), r0
  10:   1585            mov (sp)+, r5
  12:   0087            rts pc

and yet another instruction set uses the stack
I recommend you prototype your asm function that you want to call from C in C then compile it and disassemble and build your asm from there.  It is far easier to actually assemble it rather than try to use inline assembly, that is an advanced topic and very dependent on the compiler, you have a better chance of it working if you dont use inline assembly.
so for example I would take the knowledge learned and create
.globl myfun
myfun:
   add r0,r1,r0, lsl #2
   bx lr

I could then assemble that and link it in with whomever wants to call myfun with two parameters.  Or I could just use that knowledge to do other things with those two parameters to create the return value.

A: If you need to call C or assembly from Java, use JNI or its alternatives. To call assembly, make a small C wrapper function to simulate what the assembly should do, then compile it and debug with your Java program (verify that you can pass parameters, get return values).
When this works, focus on calling the actual assembly from C. This really depends on that "asm library", it should have documentation how to call it from C.
Note that assembly libraries usually require certain CPU architecture. For example, if the library is for Intel 32-bit, it cannot be called from Java VM for 64-bit ARM (at least, that won't be easy).

The Indiana National Guard held a change of command ceremony was held Saturday, May 30, at the Indiana War Memorial in Indianapolis.
Long-time Major General Martin Umbarger officially retired after serving 45 years in the military. He passed the reins of the Guard to the new top commander, Brigadier General Courtney Carr.
During the ceremony, Carr thanked Umbarger for his service and Governor Mike Pence for the honor of serving the state.
"I'm excited to lead this great organization and I'm confident that we stand ready to answer your call to support our fellow Hoosiers and to answer our nation's call when needed," stated Carr.
Carr joined the Army in 1983 and has been leading Indiana National Guard units since 1991.

@Falcon, it is not available anywhere (from me) however if you are interested I could package them up and provide you a Plug-in for a cost.


The luxury Scotland website is well laid out covering hotels, restuarants, spas, golf & Shopping. Many of the shopping tips are good particularly in Glasgow which is second only to london in shopping by the various retail lists and certainly more compact. One shop missing is Cruise for a variety of designer clothes under the one roof – definitely worth a visit if you like you designer clothes for both men & women.
My only critism is that most of the restaurants are hotel based and scotland has so many more to offer that are not attached to hotels or inns.

Readers ask: What Is Considered Full Time In Illinois?
1 Is 32 hours considered full-time in Illinois?
2 Is full-time 30 or 40 hours?
3 Is 32 hours a week full-time?
4 Is working 30 hours considered full-time?
5 Is Illinois a Right to Work 2020?
6 Can I waive my lunch break in Illinois?
7 Is 50 hours a week a lot?
9 Is anything over 8 hours considered overtime?
10 How many hours count as full-time?
11 Is 25 hours a week full-time?
12 Does full-time mean benefits?
13 Can you work 7 days straight?
14 Can an employer increase my working hours without pay?
15 How long can an employer not give you hours?
Is 32 hours considered full-time in Illinois?
Part-time vs. Illinois carefully follows the American Care Act to determine what is a full-time employee and what is a part-time full time employee. So in Illinois employees that work 30 hours per week are considered full time.
Is full-time 30 or 40 hours?
Short answer: Full-time employment is usually considered between 30-40 hours a week, while part-time employment is usually less than 30 hours a week. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has no definition for part-time or full-time employment, and employers may determine their own definitions.
Is 32 hours a week full-time?

If you want to understand the revolt against Liberalism as exemplified by the policies advocated by Obama/Clinton Democrat Party, look no further than the way in which the FDA is shutting down cigar manufacturing in the U.S. costing hundreds of people their jobs under the guise of protecting smokers from themselves.
The "FDA is in the business of reducing the harms associated with tobacco use," according to Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, as quoted in the December 4th Washington Post. The FDA has introduced new regs that "require manufacturers to get approval for new products, pay increased fees and add prominent warning labels." The result, however, will only succeed in putting American manufacturers out of business or forcing them to move their remaining plants overseas. Ironically, this is being done at the same time we have opened to door to Cuban cigars.
Whether the new fees and regs will reduce cigar consumption is an unproven assumption on the government's part. My guess is that it will not, as unlike cigarette smokers, cigar smokers are a much more independent breed. Further, it is highly doubtful the new regs will prevent underage use of cigars since young people don't smoke cigars in the first place.
The core assumption that Americans want or need a government agency to protect them against tobacco use lacks grounding in reality. Everyone knows the "harms" associated with tobacco use. Since smoking remains legal, however, those who are over 18 ought to be treated like adults and allowed to make up their own minds. Further, government agencies should not be interfering with legal manufacturing by imposing fees and regulations to accomplish social ends.
If you don't understand why manufacturers have been leaving the U.S., here's a perfect illustration, and if you don't understand why people rejected Hillary Clinton's candidacy and voted for someone whose past behavior has clearly been offensive to traditional mores, here's another case in point.
If anyone needs evidence that what is taught in our schools impacts public behavior, look no further than the response to the results of the November 8 election. In the days after the election, when it became apparent more people voted for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump, columnists, editorial writers, and social media posters trumpeted calls for the elimination of the Electoral College.
Learning that doing so would take a constitutional amendment and thus fail to impact the 2016 election, those who felt cheated turned to other panaceas, attempting to sway electors to betray their mandates and recount filings. That none of those has a chance of succeeding seems irrelevant.
Their efforts now focus on denying Trump's victory legitimacy and undermining his ability to fulfill his campaign promises. The strength of the protest movement depends, however, on the lack of knowledge of its followers of the history of our country and how our political system works.
Every four years millions are shocked to learn that the person who wins the most votes is not automatically elected president. Every four years millions are dismayed to discover that America is not a direct democracy where the majority rules, but a representative republic. This can only be attributed to the failure of our educational system to teach those essentials or to have done so in a manner that sticks.
I can hear the protesters' objections to my claim. What happened in the past doesn't matter, they might say. We need a system for the present, they add, and of course, some will argue, as the man some Democrats have put forward to chair their organization once did, that the Constitution can be dismissed as a document of a rich, white, male elite, providing further evidence of the failure of our educational system.
If the past is irrelevant, there's no need to teach about slavery or Jim Crow or women's struggles for equality since those are all part of our past. Right? Either history is relevant or it is not, and I can't imagine too many people coming down on the side of ignoring it altogether.
That said, what corrective can be offered in terms of our political system? Let's start with a re-writing of the textbooks to go back to the core story––from the settling of the continent to the Revolution to the writing of the Constitution and the first ten amendments.
What a study of those events would disclose is that our system represents a compromise between competing interests. Let's take the matter of slavery. Had those among the founders who objected to slavery been unwilling to compromise with the Southern states, there would have been no United States of America. Had the compromise failed, England would have found little resistance to re-conquering the continent since the colonies barely won the war and faced a future with depleted resources.
Further, had those in favor of a strong, centralized national government lessening the power of the states held out, the Constitution would not have passed, and once again the colonies would have been subject to conquest. The Electoral College is testimony to the compromise that established a central government for the protection of the country, but allowed states to retain a strong voice.
The notion that our system of government is the product of a compromise is something today's protesters fail to appreciate. That it is the best political system mankind has yet created is something they don't understand given how poorly history has been taught in our public schools and colleges, and by the willingness of some to ignore both the rationale for our present system and how well it has worked for 240 years.

Brexit customs union extension could be 'only viable option,' say MPs
A report from the Brexit committee also criticizes EU27 governments for not making plans to help UK citizens resident there after Brexit.

May 24, 2018	2:06 pm
LONDON — An extension of the customs union with the EU will be "the only viable option" for the U.K. if it cannot implement either of its two proposed alternative trade and customs arrangements before the end of the post-Brexit transition period, the House of Commons Brexit committee said.
In a new report on the state of the Brexit negotiations, the exiting the European Union select committee says continued disagreement within government about the customs arrangements it wants after Brexit is "highly unsatisfactory."
The government's own tax authority expects that neither of the two customs proposals — maximum facilitation (or "max fac") and the new "customs partnership" — can be fully implemented in time for the end of the transition period in December 2020.
"The Prime Minister has alluded to 'contingencies' that can be triggered in this eventuality but has not set them out," the report says. "[Brexit Secretary David Davis] has ruled out any extension of the customs union but in the absence of any other plan, such an extension will be the only viable option."
Ministers are considering an extension to elements of the customs union, potentially keeping the U.K. within the EU's common external tariff for years after the end of transition.
The MP's report is however also critical of aspects of EU27 preparation for Brexit and the impact it will have on British citizens in the EU, pointing out that while the U.K. government has "at least set out the general, overarching structure" of the process for EU citizens in the U.K. to apply for settled status, there is "little sign … that the same level of organizational planning has started in many EU member states."
Committee chair and Labour MP Hilary Benn said that U.K. ministers "should seek urgent clarification from other member states on this because British citizens need to know where they stand."
Benn's committee, in which seven member MPs backed Leave and 14 backed Remain at the 2016 referendum, also said it agrees with the government that the European Commission's current "backstop" proposal for avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is unacceptable — a sign of the near-unanimity on this point across the political divide in the U.K.
"The Commission's current proposal would undermine the constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom by effectively drawing an economic border in the Irish Sea. We support the government's rejection of this because whatever solution is reached to resolve issues around the Northern Ireland / Republic of Ireland land border must involve the whole of the UK," the report says.
The report also revives the question of the U.K.'s financial settlement with the EU, which under the draft withdrawal agreement will mandate the U.K. to pay between £35 billion and £39 billion in outstanding commitments to the bloc. On Wednesday, the committee was told by Brexit minister Suella Braverman that the withdrawal agreement as currently drafted binds the U.K. to the financial settlement, meaning that it is not contingent on the U.K. receiving acceptable terms in a future trade deal.
A political declaration on the future relationship between the U.K. and the EU, that will accompany the withdrawal agreement, "will not be a draft treaty," the report states.
"However, the government has left open the possibility that provisions could be included in the draft withdrawal agreement to link payment of the financial settlement to agreement on the future partnership," it says. "Any link between the financial settlement and the content of the political declaration … is a matter for the negotiations and the government should consider what specific text in the withdrawal agreement might achieve the best financial deal for the United Kingdom."
CORRECTION: A previous version of this article misstated the division of Leave and Remain-backing MPs in the Brexit committee. Seven of the 21 committee members backed Leave in the 2016 referendum.

I wasn't sure what my goals for La Jolla Half this year was. I knew there were hills. I knew myself that hills aren't my breakfast or lunch- hell , not even a snack! I looked at my past race data and pace information from races like Palos Verdes Half, and Xterra and came up with my own pace plan which worked out mostly ok. I surprised myself at few miles, and didn't push hard at few miles. Knowing what I know now, I do want to remember these 6 things in this blog for next year – 2018! – Yes. I am already signed up! I want to aim for 1:40 next year.(1:43 finish time this year!) and I think I can do it, if I train properly and prepare myself for the run.
As I will run through holidays and January, its easy to forget end of April is almost summer here in California. With the 7:30 am race startup time, its going to be nice and sunny, not nice and cold. I dont know about others, but I don't do well in heat. Adjust my expectation for fast pace to 7:10, not 7:00! Hydrate well! Wear a tank that is more summer friendly. As we started with mile 1, I was already sweaty and it wasnt even 100 meters at that point yet. I will miss my winter/cold weather for running races for next few months for sure!
I spent a good part of my first 5 miles worrying about mile 6. In doing so, I paced poorly on the flat miles, and down hill miles. I wish I had kind of enjoyed the first 5 miles for what they are, and figured mile 6 at mile 6! Next year, don't think about mile 6 until I really hit mile 6 aid station!
When I studied the elevation chart, Mile 4 didnt stand out as big of a deal, next to the mile 6 hill, however, as we started to run, and as my initial high start to wear off, Mile 4 hill caught me off guard. It wasnt very challenging, but because I wasnt anticipating it to be a 10% grade hill, I didn't prepare myself to breath right and pace myself properly. When I finished that climb, I literally had to stop to catch my breath. I wish I could have paced myself properly with short strides, and better breathing, with better anticipation of this hill, so I could have had a better mile 5 speed.
When the downhill at the second part of mile 5 came, I couldn't help but keep starring at Mile 6 – Torrey Pines hill, trying to study it. That was unnecessary in someways, and it made me not to speed as much as I should have at mile 5. So keep in mind, not to look ahead at the hill at mile 6, but to enjoy the descending hill on mile 5 and gain and bank as much as time!
As I started the climb at Mile 6 /Torrey Pines hill, I had a sip of water thinking there may be another water stations at the end of the mile 6 at the top. Wrong! Being the park area, there wasnt any water stations allowed between mile 6 and 8. Which is all up hill. It took a little toll on me mentally. For next year, I want to have little more water at the start of the 6th mile, and not anticipate to have a water break for another 2+ miles. This will help a little bit, with better pacing. My 9:28, 8:39 pace at mile 6 and 7 could have been little better had I anticipated and prepared well with this.
In the big scheme of things I under estimated Mile 13 hill. I knew it was coming, but with the fact that this is the last mile , and there is also a down hill, I didn't realize, at mile 13, I would have been super exhausted and the 160 ft hill would knock my ego down and freeze me for few seconds there. I kind of lost my ability to talk to myself at both mile 4, mile 6, and mile 13 hills, and literally stopped for few seconds. I could have managed that with a shorter stride and an easier pace and still kept moving.

Frederick E. Cooper
Cooper discovering Hope's phone
Fred Copper, The Chatterbox, Charles Webb, Cooper-Kun
Cooper's Office, Power Station
Frederick Cooper is a Prizrak member who aided in Hope's escape from Metamorphosis. He does not speak but instead uses a text-to-speech software to communicate with The Player as it is "too risky" to use his real voice. Cooper offered advice to The Player and sometimes provided opinions and backstory to the items The Player was inspecting.
Cooper owns a collection of video games stored on floppy disks which was stolen by his fellow guards. The Player may choose to purloin them back for him, which can be accomplished by having Hope pickpocket the various guards around Metamorphosis , where Cooper would give his thoughts on them upon reviewing the said floppy disks.
Cooper's personal records
Based on his personal records, Cooper stands at 188cm (6' 2") and weighs 101.3kg (223.3 lbs). He has light-brown skin, brown eyes and sports a full beard. He dons a typical Prizrak uniform, a pair of dark grey eyeglasses and a neckband collar device replete with glowing blue tiles.
Personality and Background Edit
Cooper is an extremely quiet person, most likely influenced by his medical conditions, and is rarely seen talking even when spoken to. Despite his silent nature, whilst using text-to-speech, Cooper cracked jokes more often than not and also used emoticons when communicating, indicating a humorous side to him.
"Good luck. I'm sure you can hack it in this place./That was a joke by the way./Sometimes my humor gets lost in translation."
Medical History Edit
According to his personal records, Cooper has a history of Selective Mutism and "Severe Social Anxiety".
Charges Edit
Cooper had been charged with Dereliction of Duty, which is an offense pertaining to the negligence of one's duties.
Relationships Edit
Prizrak Edit
Cooper is generally disliked by other Prizrak members. This can be construed from the other Prizrak guards stealing his video game collection and Cooper stating that they "enjoy tormenting [him]". Quinn Derringer, the head of the Prizrak, also shows an apparent dislike for Cooper, sarcastically mocking his taciturn nature in Episode 1. Derringer also kicked Cooper to the ground in Episode 3.
Mireille A. Prideaux Edit
Like the Prizrak, Prideaux seems to dislike Cooper as well, as she was seen shouting at him to go fetch water from "the Commissary" when he hestitated and also called him an "imbecile".
Hope Edit
Cooper was a key person in orchestrating Hope's escape. Though it is unknown how much Cooper knows Hope on a personal level, he expresses a strong desire to help her escape.
His identification number is MS0098-6778.
He is an avid gamer.
His office is filled with posters of prominent Kickstarter games.
His "Dedicated Service Award" misspells his name.
His office is only accessible with a level 5 OMNI.
He is gay or bisexual; when you collect the game Nidhogg, he tells a story about a man he once dated.

Reducing your stress is an essential foundation of a healthy lifestyle, and nobody does it better than Steven Halpern. He orchestrates sound, space and silence to create exquisitely beautiful music that engages your natural relaxation response and supports your innate healing energies. For over 40 years, millions worldwide have discovered that Halpern's 'sound solution to reducing stress' is effective, enjoyable, and energy renewable.
A. Because it works, effectively, enjoyably and immediately! But only if you use the right music. When you reduce stress, you support and empower your body's innate intelligence and ability to heal itself.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed; the music has an unrivaled track record of over 38 years, delivering the 'healing feeling' that people like you want and need.
Relaxation and the reduction of stress is now proven to be a fundamental building block to health, healing and well-being (See The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson MD). The obvious question is: How can you best achieve relaxation and support your body's innate ability for self-healing?
One of the most ancient, effective and enjoyable ways to relax is with music. But not just any music...because most music was not composed for relaxation or healing. In fact, while you may think you are relaxing to entertainment-oriented pop or classical music, physiological measurements have demonstrated that very little true relaxation takes place, which is not enough to reset your chronic stress level .
My relaxation music, on the other hand, has been tested and proven, in landmark biofeedback studies in the 1970s, to activate the deep relaxation reflex. Encoded in my recordings are the keys that I have discovered to composing music for relaxation that activates our innate healing response. The relaxation experienced by millions of listeners around the world over the past 35 years represents a track record unrivalled by any other composer. The music is sure to work for you, too.
My relaxation music is based on the principles of resonance, entrainment, and intention. Most music tends to evoke an unconscious, analytical response that keeps you anticipating where the music will go next; it keeps you focused on the future. That is great in the entertainment arena. But true relaxation only happens in the present, in the Now. You can't relax in the future; you can only relax in the present moment.
The beauty of choosing healing music as the modality of choice for helping you to relax is that it works automatically. As I've often said, with my music, "All you have to do is listen"TM Your DNA, cells and vital organs literally "know the score."
You can benefit by playing the music softly in the background, at home or at work. You can amplify the benefits by listening deeply, with intention and attention, especially with headphones.
Whether you have only one minute, five minutes or an hour to fully immerse yourself in the music, allow yourself to take a deep breath, close your eyes, and let the music take you into the state of relaxation, harmony and inner peace.
