Lead 4 Success sets your development as a leader on the right track, focusing on the four fundamental skills that fuel the thoughts and drive the actions of leaders who make a difference: SELF-AWARENESS—understanding who you are and what you have to offer, LEARNING AGILITY—the capability to absorb new information, process it, and use it to meet new challenges quickly and decisively COMMUNICATION—the ability to establish shared understanding and convey a vision for the future, and INFLUENCE—the power to persuade others to act on that vision. Each essential skill is comprised of other skills. To ensure the success of your leadership journey, use this book as a guide. Its tools and ideas will help you develop and put into practice the skills that you need to demonstrate true leadership.

Marvel's Iron Man VR Hands-On Preview
By Shannon Grixti
In Previews
Share136TweetSubmit111Share
When Iron Man VR was revealed, I was a little disappointed by the teaser trailer. At first glance, it looked like an on-rails shooter made to cash in on the incredibly popular Iron Man franchise. After getting my hands (and eyes) on a fairly lengthy demo, it became clear just how much of a disservice the trailer did for the game.
Jumping into the demo, the first thing I did was learn how to fly. This caught me off guard as I've already mentioned, I was expecting an on-rail shooter, when in actual fact, this might just be the most mobile experience that I've had in VR yet. Most of the game takes place in the air (as you'd expect for an Iron Man game) and tutorial does a great job at teaching you how to master your thrusters.
The PlayStation Move controllers do a great job of replicating Iron Man's Thruster Hands. Putting the Move controllers horizontally will basically keep you afloat, whilst pointing the Move Bulb to the ground will put you full speed ahead or putting it to the ceiling will bring you to a stop. You'll basically move in the direction that you're facing, which pretty much means this is a full 360 experience.
The next part of the demo will teach you how to shoot, which is when you really start to feel like Iron Man. Shooting works as you'd expect. A reticle shows up on screen and you get about 5-6 shots before each hand overheats. It's the next part of the tutorial that really brings it all together. Putting thrusting and shooting together feels like absolute magic. I know it sounds simple, but being able to thrust and keep yourself afloat with one hand whilst shooting with the other is a really natural experience. You're able to alternate hands as well, which makes it a really immersive experience.
I was told that the game would be an 8-10 hour experience. In this mission that I got it play through, it began with a cut scene where Tony was sitting in his private jet alongside Pepper, before Ghost's army appeared and starting shooting their plane down. Tony was blown out of the airplane, before his armour flying through the sky and snapping to him before my eyes.
The rest of the mission was a mix of fixing the airplane (which definitely tested my newly learned flying skills), fighting of Ghost's army of ships and communicating with Pepper to make sure she was okay. The mission ended with having to force the landing gear out in order for the plane to land. The entire mission was high-action and insanely thrilling from start to finish. I'm excited to see how much missions vary, and what abilities Iron Man picks up along the way.
No Man's Sky VR Hands-On Preview
Iron Man VR has apparently been in development for the better part of two years and it's telling. It feels like an actual game, built for VR, rather than a tech demo. It looks fantastic and most importantly, I felt absolutely no motion sickness which was surprising to me considering it probably involves more fast-paced movement than any game that I've ever played.
There could be a risk of repetitiveness, but so far, so good. I really liked what I saw, and I'm not the biggest Marvel fan, but nobody can deny the feeling of becoming Iron Man and being a complete badass in the sky.

A great place to play the royal and ancient game
This autumn the doors are open wide at a top class North East golf course, which has been a special venue for the game for over 100 years
Northumberland Golf Club is now offering a limited number of individual memberships for men, women and juniors, while also taking bookings for Corporate Golf Days for the remainder of the year and 2019.
The high quality of Northumberland Golf Club's course at Gosforth Park has been acknowledged for many years and by many leading commentators.
Perhaps the greatest accolade comes from the Fine Golf website, which describes it as "the best inland course between Ganton (Yorkshire) and Scotland".
Club Captain Peter McLane reflects: "Golf is sociable, fun and good exercise."
Peter is a local businessman who is a great advocate of the Royal and Ancient game and his Gosforth Park course.
"Despite our long history – the course opened in 1898 – there are many golfers who have not been fortunate enough to play here.
"I think there's an assumption that it's tough, but I'd say it's 'interesting'. Set around Newcastle Racecourse, it ranges from nearly 6700 yards off the medal tees contrasted with three other sets of tees that allow the course to be a little less challenging. It means everyone can enjoy playing here.
Peter continues: "We don't forget the social aspect in the sport either. All our guests are always made welcome, either as individuals or a company bringing clients. The food is really good in the Clubhouse, which has an atmospheric traditional dining room for post-match meals. The bar and lounges are light and airy, with a nice balance between tradition and comfort.
"My own favourite spot for a post-game drink is the lovely terrace overlooking the 18th green."
The pedigree of the course was established many years ago by leading golf architects James Braid and later Harry Colt who designed the layout.
It is a finely conditioned heathland course, with beautifully kept greens that are carefully maintained by head greenkeeper Paul O'Connor and his team. One of its majors advantages is that the course can usually be played all-year round.
Northumberland Golf Club has also seen a good number of professional and top amateur tournaments take place over the last 100 years.
"Top Major Champion players including Greg Norman and Tony Jacklin have competed here," reveals Peter proudly, "while the course record score is held by 2016 Masters Champion Danny Willett."
Northumberland Golf Club's reputation for producing its own good players is noteworthy. Several of the County golf team are members and the new Captain of The Royal and Ancient – the governing body of the game – is longstanding member Chris Hilton.
New members have access to the 18-hole championship course, four extra full-length winter holes and a spacious practice ground, which has a driving range too. In short, there is plenty of room to improve your game.
There are also competitions for men, women and juniors – not to mention a thriving social events programme. The spacious clubhouse is available to hire for private functions and business meetings.

SUV REVIEW: Is this thing a hybrid? The Yukon Hybrid leaves no doubts about its gas-electric drive train thanks to the Hybrid stickers and logos peppered all over this new hybrid SUV.
"Hybrid! Hybrid hybrid hybrid! Hybrid! Did we say Hybrid?"
Inside, there are fewer clues to the Yukon Hybrid's more fuel-efficient nature. Other than a Prius-like LCD screen and a single green logo, the cabin is just like the regular, gas-only Yukon. So the driving feel is the same.
This huge vehicle has no fewer than NINE exterior logos to proclaim to the world that it has batteries and electric motors that help it get better gas mileage. There are big "hybrid" stickers in the front and rear windows. There are two "Hybrid" logos on each side, another logo on the back, and giant, 3-foot-long stickers on the sides that say, guess what? "Hybrid."
So it looks like General Motors is upset that Toyota has gotten all the attention at the environmental prom, and thus needs to cover itself in sequins and start shimmying seductively in the green spotlight.
This SUV shouts, as it wiggles its steel hips, "I can be Earth-friendly, too!"
This is the world's first full-size hybrid SUV, but calling it Earth-friendly is a bit like ordering a banana split without the whipped cream and calling it healthy. It only gets 21 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway, so at least to the skeptics, it's still a rolling billboard that says, "Death to the polar bears."
On the other hand, 21 mpg is an amazing figure for such a huge and powerful SUV. Consider this: the normal Yukon, which is less powerful than the Yukon Hybrid, only gets 14 mpg in town. Or, put another way, if you do 15,000 miles of in-town driving this year, the hybrid Yukon will use 357 gallons LESS fuel than the regular Yukon which, converted into dollars at today's gas prices, is roughly $1 Billion.
To do this, GMC hired a wizard named Merlin to wave his magic wand and make the giant Yukon use less gas. The Yukon Hybrid was given a more aerodynamic face, nice low-rolling-resistance tires, some aluminum body panels to save weight, and a massive, 6.0-liter V8 engine with special technology to make it more efficient. Merlin did a very good job.
Better still, the Yukon Hybrid isn't a compromise. It's not like driving around in a slow-poke golf cart, like some of the other hybrid�s out there. It feels exactly like driving the normal Yukon, complete with brawny acceleration, and a 6,000-pound towing capacity.
There are a couple of downsides, though. For one, the third-row seat is designed for gnomes.
And two, it's priced like it's part of the federal budget, starting around $51,000. That's about $17,000 more than the base Yukon. Granted, the Yukon Hybrid comes loaded with all kinds of luxuries, including leather, but it's still hard to justify such an enormous difference on the sticker price.
That's actually my biggest gripe with most hybrid vehicles. They're designed to save gas, but the people who need to save the most money at the pump, people living on tight budgets, simply can't afford them. They're tethered to expensive, high-end luxury packages, which is a shame.
Overall, though, I like the Yukon Hybrid. It's a good example of how hybrid technology can be applied to every day vehicles other than itty-bitty commuter cars.
What was tested? The 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid with a base price of $50,945. Options on test vehicle: None. Total MSRP Price as tested: $50,945.
Why avoid it? It's expensive and has a small back seat considering its enormous size.
Why buy it? It's a rolling advertisement that says, "I want to drive a big SUV, but I also care about the planet." And it's just as capable as the regular, gas-only, Yukon.
But please, GM, can we lose the "hybrid" stickers? One form of sticker shock is enough.

Q: Python discord.py не меняется громкость бота Всем привет, появилась проблема, при изменение громкости бота через $volume 50 к примеру, то она меняется, а при увеличении $volume 100 она не становится больше, бот музыку играет на youtube_dl, может из-за этого?
@client.command()
async def volume(ctx, vol):
    voice = get(client.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild)
    channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
    vol_new = int(vol)
    if voice and voice.is_connected():
        if 0 <= vol_new <= 100:
            voice.source = discord.PCMVolumeTransformer(
                voice.source, vol_new / 100)
            print(voice.source.volume)
            await ctx.send(f"Громкость: {vol_new}")
        else:
            await ctx.send("Чё не понятного, значение громкости не меньше 0 и не больше 100")
    else:
        await ctx.send("Я не нахожусь в войс канале")

A: Суть в том, что когда вы вводите комманду $volume 50, то громкось умножается на 0.5, т.е делится на 2.
Изначально громкость раняется 1.
В вашем случае, когда вы написали сначала $volume 50, она стала 1*0.5=0.5, потом написали $volume 100, и она умножилась на 1(поскольку 100/100=1), т.е не изменилась, а так и осталась 0.5.
Чтобы увеличить громкость в 2 раза в вашем случае нужно будет написать $volume 200.

Do Not Disturb: Tanita Tikaram
Robert Sandall, Q, February 1990
Bookish, Studious, unsurprisingly naïve, Tanita Tikaram sidestepped university at the age of 18 when her darkly sonorous vocals and "sixth-form poetry" suddenly found an international audience. She composed her second album in the noiseless seclusion of tour hotel rooms and has fans who write to tell her what they're reading at the moment. It is not your conventional rock 'n' roll saga – "but very larky at times," as Robert Sandall discovers.

Getting an amazing shot for a magazine, creating a great view of a house for a real estate company, my objective is always to make the building look stunning with a careful mix of composition and lighting, daylight and use of props available such as recliner chairs, tables & plants.
When working with a DSLR fix back camera, where the back of the camera is parallel to the lens, we need to look up or point down this creates the parallax effect, this is when vertical walls converge in or out of the frame, this effect is usually undesirable, so I correct in post-production along with all the other adjustments.
Photographs of old buildings, is straightforward and simple finding the best POV "point Of View", highlighting the character of the building. It's usually best to include some of the foreground and background to show perspective. Photographing modern architecture I prefer an abstract approach. Shooting wide and low to distort perspectives shoot with interesting elements of the architecture dominating the frame. Early Night-time or the "magic time" as I call it Is a real buzz for me as daylight becomes "balanced" with the artificial lighting. I will take care to illuminate large shadow areas to prevent "black holes" in the picture, The time this "magic time happens is actually a fleeting moment just after sunset and it only lasts for a few minutes.

Yep, we know your browse reddit at work. We do too.
But it's frustrating to see NSFW works while browsing reddit at work. You don't want to "accidentally" click a NSFW post just as your boss is walking by.
A random click on a NSFW post is not worth getting fired over.
So we built this Chrome Extension. It hides all NSFW posts from reddit. It works like a charm, and we love it.
such generous. much thanks. very wow.


It is nearly midnight when I finally climb into bed with blood shot eyes and achy bones. After the race to get through dinner and then bedtime with two kids, I spent hours trying to put the house back in order. I meant to curl up on the couch with a bottle of wine and some trashy TV, but when no one else is willing or able to clean and wash and plan then the endless list of chores silently and expectedly falls to me.
I'm not sure how I got to this place where the parenting and the running of this household all become my sole responsibility. I'm not a single mother; I am married to a generous man who spends his days building wooden boats two miles away from the ocean's edge. He lives a charmed life. And according to Facebook, I do too. I have two funny kids who are always getting into comically ridiculous situations that turn into photo op's for me to post online. But quietly—and privately—I sometimes resent this job of motherhood. I feel invisible.
Mother's Day is around the corner and in the recesses of my mind I am already wishing for the decadence of expressed appreciation from my small brood. I am daydreaming about being thanked a thousand times for all the poopy rears and snotty noses I've wiped. I wish for heartfelt apologies for all the meltdowns thrown my way. I long to be hugged by my husband for more than four seconds before whiny voices beg and plead for snacks and more TV. I imagine that for one day—just one day—someone else will offer to do the dishes and the laundry. Perhaps the chorus of hungry bellies will compliment my cooking instead of protesting it before they destroy the dining room with globs of food flung every which way.
This year for Mother's Day, I am tempted to take a day off from motherhood entirely. I want to spend the day trying to remember that somewhere under the folds of my sweat pants and flannel shirt, behind the matted ponytail that hasn't been brushed in days, and lost inside the stretched skin of my postpartum body is me.
I am here and I need something beautiful and selfishly mine: recognition. I don't need breakfast in bed (although that would be nice!) I don't need an hour alone in the bathroom so that I can soak in the tub without interruption (wait…yes I do!) What I need more than anything is to be made to feel truly and absolutely appreciated.

Q: DHCP server management API in dot net application I need to use DHCP server management API in my C#.net application. My target platform is  Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit obvious I guess). I am getting this error
"A reference to 'dhcpsapi.dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component."
Assuming it is a COM dll I even tried TLB export but with error
TlbExp : error TX0000 : Could not load file or assembly 'dhcpsapi.dll' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
I found this assembly in C:\Windows\System32 folder. I have also tried starting VS in "Run as Admin" mode. Any help, highly appreciated.

A: dhcpsapi.dll isn't a COM dll.  It's a plain DLL, and you'll need to use P/Invoke to call functions in it.  PInvoke.Net is a good place to look for prewritten P/Invoke calls.
