#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.
Don't miss the hourlong Netflix special Brené Brown: The Call to Courage!
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG
Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential.
When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it's necessary to do good work.
But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start.
Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question:
How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?
In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love.
Brown writes, "One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It's learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It's why we're here."
Whether you've read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you're new to Brené Brown's work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.
"With Dare to Lead, Brené brings decades of research to bear in a practical and insightful guide to courageous leadership. This book is a road map for anyone who wants to lead mindfully, live bravely, and dare to lead."--Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook, founder, LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org
"Brené visited Pixar to talk with our filmmakers. Her message was important, as movies are best when they come from a place of vulnerability, when the people who make them encounter setbacks and are forced to overcome them, when they are willing to have their asses handed to them. It is easy to sit back and talk about the values of a safe and meaningful culture, but extraordinarily difficult to pull it off. You don't achieve good culture without constant attention, without an environment of safety, courage, and vulnerability. These are hard skills, but they are teachable skills. Start with this book."--Ed Catmull, president, Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios
"Whether you're leading a movement or a start-up, if you're trying to change an organizational culture or the world, Dare to Lead will challenge everything you think you know about brave leadership and give you honest, straightforward, actionable tools for choosing courage over comfort."--Tarana Burke, senior director, Girls for Gender Equity, founder, the Me Too movement
"We asked Brené to bring her work on courage and vulnerability to our Air Force base. This is a tough audience, many of them with significant combat experience. Within five minutes, you could have heard a pin drop. Brené cuts through the noise and speaks to what makes us human and makes the mission happen. Dare to Lead is about real leadership: tenacious, from the heart, and full of grit."--Brigadier General Brook J. Leonard, United States Air Force
"Brené is Google Empathy Lab's Obi-Wan Kenobi. She has profoundly inspired our product leaders to design in and embrace vulnerability, rather than engineer it out. It's a critical and transformative act to bring your alive, messy, wholehearted human self to work every day. Dare to Lead is the skillful and empowering Jedi training we have all been waiting for."--Danielle Krettek, founder, Google Empathy Lab
"Applying the principles from Dare to Lead to my work as a principal has transformed the way I show up with parents, students, and colleagues, and how I lead. Brené's words, stories, and examples connect with our hearts and minds, and her actionable approach gives us the tools to be braver with our lives and our work."--Kwabena Mensah, PhD, assistant superintendent, Fort Bend ISD, Principal of the Year, Katy ISD and Texas Alliance of Black School Educators
"Brené truly gives it all away in Dare to Lead. Courage is a set of teachable skills, and she teaches us exactly how to build those muscles with research, stories, examples, and new language. The future belongs to brave leaders, and she's written the ultimate playbook for daring leadership."--Scott Harrison, founder and CEO, charity: water
Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation-Brené Brown Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of four #1 New York Times bestsellers: Braving the Wilderness, Rising Strong, Daring Greatly, and The Gifts of Imperfection. Her TED talk--"The Power of Vulnerability"--is one of the top five most-viewed TED talks in the world with more than thirty-five million views. Brown lives in Houston, Texas with her husband, Steve, and their children, Ellen and Charlie.

Enrico lascia la sua ragazza, la graziosa Veronica, per un'affascinante maliarda che lo acceca con lo splendore di un magnifico abito. Veronica, cantante di strada, si aggira nel parco piangendo per il suo amore perduto. La sua disperazione intenerisce una giovane coppia che, cercando di consolarla, si fa raccontare quello che la angustia. Venendo a sapere che Enrico si è perduto dietro alle penne di pavone di una donna, offrono a Veronica un bellissimo abito con il quale la giovane si presenta al ballo della comunità italiana. Veronica è talmente bella che affascina ogni uomo che si trova nella sala. Enrico, furioso, passa dalla rabbia all'odio fino alla delusione. Chiede perdono alla ragazza, ma lei gli rinfaccia di essere stato attirato solo dalla magnificenza del vestito. Non fidandosi più di lui, Veronica si rivolge a un giovane italiano che l'ha sempre amata in silenzio.

Effectiveness of Mothers Against Drunk Driving
Written by: Editorial Staff
Every single day in the United States, 28 people die in a car crash that involves a driver who is under the influence of and impaired by alcohol, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes. This equates to just more than one death every hour of every day in America.
After the senseless death of her 13-year-old daughter Cari, who was killed by a drunk driver, Candace Lightner began feverishly working in her home state of California to raise awareness about drunk driving and to attempt to illicit change in drunk driving laws. Together with another mother, Cindi Lamb, whose child was a victim of a crash with an alcohol-impaired driver, the grassroots nonprofit organization Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, or MADD, was founded and incorporated in Sacramento, California on September 5th of 1980.
MADD hosted its first national press conference in October of that year, with the mission of raising public awareness regarding the hazards of drunk and drugged driving, and to help victims and families of victims who had been involved in a crash with an impaired driver. In 1984, MADD changed their name to Mothers Against Drunk Driving to explain that their mission is about the action and not the person specifically.
Over the years, MADD has worked tirelessly to influence DUI (driving under the influence) laws, increase public awareness about underage drinking and impaired driving, save lives, and help victims and their families.
History and Success of MADD
Since 1980, MADD reports that they have helped to cut drunk driving deaths in half, saved around 350,000 lives, and helped more than 850,000 victims. Today, there are several hundred local MADD chapters spread throughout the US and Canada. The journal World Psychiatry publishes that the MADD campaign has helped to get over 1,000 new laws involving alcohol passed on both a local and national level, including laws regarding server liability, the setting up of sobriety checkpoints, and raising the minimum drinking age. MADD has also influenced public perception of drunk driving, putting faces to the victims to highlight that these are not "accidents" but rather instances of avoidable violence and that the crime is not "victimless."
MADD publishes an annual comparative legislative titled "Rating of the States/Provinces," which uses a five-star ranking system to show the public how each state is doing with its efforts to prevent impaired driving. As fatalities related to alcohol- or drug-impaired crashes are preventable, MADD's current mission is to eliminate all of these deaths. MADD claims that they will not stop their campaign until there are no deaths related to drunk or drugged driving.
A general timeline of MADD follows:
1980: MADD was founded and incorporated.
1981: MADD hosts the first candlelight vigil to honor victims, and the organization explodes onto the national scene.
1982: MADD joins the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving created by President Reagan. The Howard-Barnes Alcohol Traffic Safety Law is passed, which gives states financial incentive to pass laws lowering the legal BAC levels for impaired driving from 0.15 percent to 0.1 percent.
1983: MADD centralizes its main national office by moving to Texas from California.
1984: MADD influences the passing of the federal National Minimum Legal Drinking Act (MLDA), raising the legal drinking age to 21 years old. This law restricts people under the age of 21 from purchasing or publicly consuming alcohol, which helped to reduce the number of motor vehicle crashes by a median of 16 percent.
1985: MADD seeks to influence social perception of drunk driving by changing the word accident to crash. Victims are encouraged to help people understand that drunk driving crashes are criminal and unacceptable.
1986: MADD launches what will become their longest-running public awareness campaign that today is called Tie One on for Safety (originally it was called Project Red Ribbon). This campaign distributes red ribbons during the holiday season (between Thanksgiving and Christmas) for people to tie on to their vehicles as a pledge to not drink and drive, and to hopefully encourage others to abide by it as well. MADD also publicly coins the term designated driver and seeks to entrench the idea of someone volunteering to stay sober and drive others home into everyone's consciousness.
1988: All 50 states and the District of Columbia agree to uphold the MLDA, and drinking among those 18-20 years old decreases by nearly 20 percent, the CDC publishes.
1989: Victim impact panels (VIPs) are established by MADD, which serve to help victims of drunk driving crashes and their families heal as well as provide people who did drink and drive with the chance to recognize the consequences of their actions and hopefully prevent drunk driving incidents in the future.
1990: MADD is instrumental in the facilitation of sobriety checkpoints, which are upheld as being constitutional this year, the CDC Some states still view them as unconstitutional, and today, they are authorized in 38 states and the District of Columbia. A sobriety checkpoint stops vehicles at designated locations to check for impairment, hoping to deter drinking and driving, and take those who are impaired off the roads.
1995: MADD influences policy and helps to get zero tolerance passed into federal law. The National Highway Systems Designation Act of 1995 offered financial incentive to states who made it illegal for anyone under the MLDA to drive with any amount of alcohol in their bodies, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) publishes. By 1998, all states are compliant, and NHTSA reports that underage drinking and driving motor vehicle crashes were reduced by around one-quarter and even more in areas where the law was heavily publicized.
1996: MADD increases their mission statement to include the prevention of underage drinking, hosting their first National Youth Summit.
1997: org is launched, giving MADD an online presence.
2000: MADD's hard-fought battle to get the legal drinking and driving BAC limit lowered to 0.08 percent in all 50 states is won as the Department of Transportation's 2001 Appropriations Act sets forth that all states must enact a 0.08 per se law by 2004 in order to receive certain federal funding, NHTSA All states comply by 2004.
2005: MADD Victim Services begins using the term survivor and institutes a 24-hour victim helpline to "help survivors survive."
2006: The Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving is instituted, and New Mexico becomes the first state to pass a law requiring all DUI offenders to have an ignition interlock. The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) publishes that all 50 states have some kind of law regarding ignition interlocks, and half of all the states have mandatory ignition interlock laws in place for all drunk driving offenses.
2010: MADD partners with the National Football League (NFL) to provide a game-day program for fans to volunteer to play the all-important role of designated driver. As part of this partnership, the NFL also agrees that clubs and players will participate in "WALK LIKE MADD" community and fundraising events.
2011: MADD launches the Power of Parents, which invites parents of high school students to have open and honest discussions with their children about the dangers of underage drinking, and drinking and driving.
2012: Power of You(th) is launched by MADD as a school-based program to encourage teenagers and high school students to talk to their peers about the dangers of drinking and to not get in the car with those who have been drinking.
2015: MADD expands the Power of Parents program to include parents of middle school children, hoping to prevent underage drinking before it starts.
MADD Effectiveness and Importance
MADD is a longstanding organization that has advocated for stricter laws about underage drinking, and drinking and driving, in an attempt to reduce problems associated with both. MADD also serves victims, families, and survivors of drunk driving crashes and tragic deaths.
Opponents of MADD argue that the organization focuses too heavily on a zero-tolerance policy for drinking. MADD encourages complete sobriety and abstinence from drinking. Other organizations, such as the International Drunk Driving Prevention Association (IDDPA), are not against drinking alcohol, but instead encourage people to drink responsibly and aim to prevent drunk driving and crashes related to impaired drivers.
Arguably, MADD has been extremely influential, not only in affecting public policy and legislation, but also in changing public perception and social policy. As a grassroots organization, MADD has brought the crimes and tragedy of drunk driving consequences into the light, offering hope and encouragement for survivors, victims, and their families while also advocating for preventative efforts and positive change.
Unfortunately, while MADD has a proven success record of helping to reduce alcohol-related crashes in the past, drunk driving deaths rose in 2016. According to CBS, it may be one of the worst years on record for impaired-driving fatalities. Even though the public is aware of the dangers, NCADD warns that as many as two out of every three people will be in some kind of drunk driving crash in their lifetime.
Drinking and driving do not mix, but people still do it. Programs and organizations like MADD help to reduce instances of drunk driving, and prevent future alcohol-related crashes and deaths.

On Michel Therrien, the Gambler's Fallacy, and Hockey's Probabilistic Nature
The Canadiens coach's post-game analogy can serve as a lesson to hockey fans, media, and managers local and beyond about what truly causes wins and losses in hockey
By Arik Parnass May 15, 2014, 8:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: On Michel Therrien, the Gambler's Fallacy, and Hockey's Probabilistic Nature
Properly analyzing hockey requires an understanding of its probabilistic nature, something that not nearly enough people have.
Michel Therrien made a comment in his post-game press conference after game six that stood out as something more than the usual cliché and drivel. It was an anecdote that seemed out of place and was made practically unprompted.
"It's a seventh game, and anything can happen," said Therrien. "I've always had a philosophy like a gambler's. When you play roulette, some people are going to say if the ball falls 10 times on black, then it's due to fall on red. But that's not the reality. Every event is a new moment, the game we're going to be playing is a new moment. It's a seventh game, absolutely anything can happen. That's the beauty of Game 7."
What Therrien was referring to, of course, is the gambler's fallacy. In a Monte Carlo Casino on August 18, 1913, as the story goes, the ball in a game of roulette fell on black 26 times in a row. Gamblers lost millions of francs betting against black under the assumption that a red was somehow due, that there was an imbalance that needed to be rectified, and that the odds of the next roll turning up red somehow increased every turn.
What Therrien took from the fallacy was the fact that every roll, or every game, presents a new opportunity that isn't dependent on past results, but he missed the more important lesson, which is that every roll contains an independent set of odds. For roulette, those odds are 50-50, at least when it comes to red or black. In hockey, those odds are impossible to define, but for every game a team has a set chance of victory, constantly in flux, which is manipulated by a set of smaller odds, the most easily comprehended of which involves the process of shooting.
Every shot a player takes has a set probability of going in the net. We can't possibly know what that probability is, since it is a combination of talent, location, positioning, timing, other players, the ice surface, and a variety of other factors (Note: Probabilities on the images are made up). All we can do is attempt to define that number as closely as possible, and hope that over large samples our best estimate holds up.
What Therrien may have been missing, when he was inserting hulking defenseman Douglas Murray into the lineup for the Canadiens, was that no shot has a zero percent chance of going in. There are shots whose probability of resulting in a goal is negligible, but for the most part, even the most seemingly non-threatening point shot, by virtue of tips, rebounds, and bounces, has a significant chance of going in.
Of course, hockey, like roulette, is partially deterministic in nature. Just as the way in which a dealer tosses the ball and spins the wheel will determine whether it turns up red or black, the way in which the 12 players and goalies on the ice play will determine whether an offensive zone possession results in a goal. But these exercises are both also probabilistic. No matter how the dealer tosses the ball, over a large sample it will turn up red and black each approximately 50 percent of the time. And no matter how the defending team plays defense - active sticks and good positioning can only prevent so much - shots will find their way into the net.
So-called advanced stats like Corsi and Fenwick - which measure shot attempt differentials - take this principle to the extreme. Obviously no two shots are equal, but on-ice shooting and save percentages fluctuate wildly, while shot differentials tend to stay fairly constant, so they provide us with the most basic of shot probabilities. When a player is on the ice for 21 shot attempts for and 50 against - as was the case for Murray at 5-on-5 in the three games he played in this series - it's highly unlikely that the probabilities of scoring will end up in the player's favor. And really, all a coach can do is try and maximize those probabilities, because over the long term they will bear out.
When Therrien claims that the 11th roll is independent of the last 10 he's right. But the appropriate lesson here has nothing to do with game sevens. Whether Murray manages to get through a game, or two, or three, without seeing minuses next to his name on the score sheet doesn't matter. That ability to get through shifts in the defensive zone unscathed has little impact on his ability to do so repeatedly, or on the next night. Inevitably, a player whose team is perpetually outshot with him on the ice will see that reflected in the goal column, no matter the player, no matter their commitment, and no matter the team's system. There are players whose shooting or defensive abilities can mask possession deficiencies to an extent - take Steven Stamkos for example - but not nearly to the extent that Murray's would need to for him to be a desirable option.
Inevitably, a player whose team is perpetually outshot with him on the ice will see that reflected in the goal column
For much of the season, Therrien fell pray to the gambler's fallacy in a very different way from those men back in 1913, but to no lesser extent. Douglas Murray can block all the shots that he wants, but even a shot with a one percent chance of going in upon the release will find its way through once every hundred tries, and when a player is not producing his own offense to counteract that, he tends to get burned, often at the worst possible time.
Therrien's mention of the gambler's fallacy was odd considering there are a million more common metaphors for the unpredictability of a seventh game in the playoffs. But maybe, just maybe, it was a nod to a realization he had had between games five and six about how to best maximize a team's shot at victory, and a sign that he wouldn't be fooled again.

Farmers in Wisconsin have high hopes for a new cash crop: Hemp. It looks and smells like marijuana but it will not get you high. FOX 11 Investigates examined the state's new hemp pilot program earlier this year.
Robert Hornacek traveled to Mount Horeb to follow up on the program and what it could mean for the future. "The size of the plants has exceeded my expectations," said John Eichorst of Mount Horeb Hemp.
From a distance, his half-acre hemp field almost looks like a field of Christmas trees. "It's been a lot of work," Eichorst said.
Eichorst is growing hemp for CBD oil, a hemp extract that is reportedly used by some to treat things like seizures, anxiety, pain and other ailments.
"We're at the harvest time now," Eichorst said. Eichorst estimates he spent $17,000 on his first crop. He expects to break even or make a small profit.
Because of its relation to marijuana, hemp was considered illegal for decades. Now hemp is back. Eichorst is one of the first Wisconsin farmers to take part in the state's new pilot program.
"When you're part of a pilot program you have to follow their rules," he said. Hemp farmers are subject to state testing. By law hemp must have a THC level of .3% or lower. THC is the psycho-active ingredient also found in marijuana.
A few weeks ago, a state inspector came out to take samples of some of the plants in Eichorst's field. Those tests came back with a THC level of .1% Well below the legal limit. "They took like two inches off 30 plants to get a representation of the whole field," Eichorst said.
State inspectors took 295 samples from farmers across the state. Twenty-one of those samples failed. But Rob Richard from the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation says that's not a major issue.
Richard says Wisconsin's first year of hemp production has gone well. "We've seen a lot of farmers who have a really keen interest in this. I also know we have a lot of farmers that are sitting on the fence. They're watching their neighbors. They're watching the guy down the road to see how their crop went," Richard said.
"Didn't pick the best year in the world to start a project like this because like every farmer in Wisconsin knows, it's been an awful growing season," said Donna Gilson, spokesperson for the state agency that oversees the hemp program.
While a final report won't be ready until the end of the year, Gilson said there were 242 licensed hemp growers this year. 139 of them planted a crop, about 1850 acres. To put that into perspective, farmers in Wisconsin grow about 4-million acres of corn.
"It's really too early to tell how it is going to take off," Gilson said. "We had some growers who I'm sure found that it was very difficult and didn't have a very good year and may drop out. We had some who were really well prepared and had done all their research.
It may not be easy, but he's not giving up. "We'll do it again next year for sure," Eichorst said. The question is how many others will join him?

Russian virtuoso Vladimir Feltsman makes Concert Series debut
Acclaimed pianist Vladimir Feltsman makes his debut at Memorial Chapel for the Union College Concert Series Friday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m.
Russian émigré Feltsman closes a diverse program with Mussorgsky's keyboard masterpiece – Pictures at an Exhibition. He begins his program with Haydn's Sonata No. 31 in A-flat Major, Hob. XVI:46 and Schubert's Sonata in A Minor, D. 537.
In demand as a recitalist, Feltsman has performed at Carnegie Hall and around the world, with recitals in Los Angeles, Kansas City, Fort Worth, Lincoln, Philadelphia, Portland and Bogota. He will perform in recital this season in New York, Miami, Palm Beach and other cities. Last summer, he continued his long association with the Ravinia Festival, where he performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Aspen Music Festival.
In 1979, because of his growing discontent with the restrictions on artistic freedom under the Soviet regime, Feltsman signaled his intention to emigrate by applying for an exit visa. He was immediately banned from performing in public and his recordings were suppressed. After eight years of virtual artistic exile, he was granted permission to leave the Soviet Union. Upon his arrival in the U.S. in 1987, Feltsman was warmly greeted at the White House, where he performed his first recital in North America.
Individual tickets are $25 or $10 for students. Tickets are free to members of the campus community. Subscription packages offer significant savings. For information, call (518) 388-6080 or visit http://www.unioncollegeconcerts.org.

Wuxiaworld > My Nightclub Landlady > Chapter 97 Guard
Chapter 97 Guard
Jia Dapeng's face soured. "Uncle Li, I call you uncle so politely and you've worked for my father for many years. Don't you know his temperament? Do you think he'd give me his blessing to do this? Would he even care if I got down on my hands and knees and licked his feet?"
Both Li Faxian and Zhang Dali struggled not to burst out laughing. Jia Dapeng also felt that might have been a little inappropriate, but he quickly added, "It might sound stupid, but that's the way it is. My father is famous for covering things up. Otherwise, neither of you would be here, would you? Don't you think the reason he protects you is so you could be there to help on the day I need you?
"This time, I'm not looking for trouble of my own initiative. I have been insulted and attacked! I'm not overreacting, am I? I don't understand; why can't I do this? Do you think my father is getting too old and won't be able to do what he's always done? Fine, then! If you won't help, I'll go back now and tell him what you said, and we'll see how he really reacts."
Jia Dapeng immediately turned around to leave, his face filled with bitter resentment.
"Dapeng, Dapeng!"
Li Faxian and Zhang Dali ran after him in confusion. "Hey, where are you going?" Li Faxian said, full of smiles. "Isn't it just Qin Feng? I will give him to you and you can do whatever you want. Uncle promises you that I will make no complaints."
Li Faxian had no choice but to compromise. Jia Dapeng could not do anything useful for him in return, but he could definitely do something bad to him. If the boy were offended, he would go straight to Jia Quan to complain about it. Although Jia Quan kept claiming that he no longer cared about his son, those who knew him knew the truth. He was famous for overprotecting and doting over his only son, Jia Dapeng. If the kept saying bad things about Li Faxian in his father's ear, it would definitely amount to no good result.
Li Faxian's words made Jia Dapeng happy in his heart, but he said, "Uncle Li, I don't want to force you. If it's a lot of trouble for you, just forget it. In any case, you won't keep him here forever. I'm sure I'll get my chance for revenge sometime..."
"No, no, no, it's no trouble! It's no trouble! It's nothing, nothing," Li Faxian croaked. "Whatever you do, I'll accompany you and take the responsibility for anything that happens. If we can't even settle this little score, then what are we even? Right?"
Jia Dapeng humphed, "Well, get ready then. Turn the cameras off. Put a mask on him, and give me the most powerful taser you've got. I want to have some fun with this..."
Li Faxian sucked in a cool breath and thought, "This is really happening..."
He had no way out of it. Now he could only let Jia Dapeng do whatever he wanted with his prisoner. He hoped Qin Feng would survive and no one else would ever hear about it.
"Dapeng, don't go overboard. If you make too big a mess, Director Jia will have a hard time dealing with it," said Zhang Dali, although he knew that Jia Quan could cover up whatever he wanted. Nothing in Tianhe was beyond his reach.
Nevertheless, he always felt that Qin Feng was not some random person. His air of confidence suggested there was a hidden agenda for him being in a small city like Tianhe, nor could he be controlled by the likes of Zhao Jun. His sudden appearance was very puzzling.
"Don't worry, go ahead. I can handle it." Dapeng stretched his muscles in preparation, laughing, "Qin Feng, tonight you will regret ever being born. Time to start praying, hahaha!"
Soon, the security camera inside the interrogation room became blocked by a ceiling tile that "accidentally" fell out of place. In order to shake off the blame after the incident, Li Faxian took pains to get someone to climb up on a stepladder in the camera's blind spot and poke a tile off its frame with a broomstick. Should anyone look into this incident in the future, Li Faxian could simply claim the police station's maintenance budget was insufficient to cover all the necessary repairs.
Then, Qin Feng's face was covered with a black velvet mask and his hands and feet were tightly bound so he couldn't move an inch. The two policemen who secured him refused to say anything at all.
A few minutes after they left, the door squeaked as it was pushed open by Jia Dapeng.
When he saw Qin Feng in the chair, struggling to breathe through the cloth on his head, he almost giggled out loud with glee as he turned on the electric baton in his hand. "You're a fool. You're about to get the… 'shock' of your life."
"Who the hell are you? Take this stupid mask off me, you coward!" Qin Feng shouted, twisting his body every-which-way until he almost tipped over in his chair.
Jia Dapeng thought careful about what he was going to do before entering. He would not say anything. He would just continuously electrocute Qin Feng until he passed out.
But being provoked by Qin Feng, he could not help but poke him once with the baton. Qin Feng's body shuddered as he received the electric shock. "Fuck! You better hope I never catch you, or I'll tear you limb from limb!" he growled through clenched jaws.
Jia Dapeng could not help shouting, "Is that so!"
He jabbed the electric baton into Qin Feng's exposed skin, and held it there.
Qin Feng endured the pain with gritted teeth, cursing all the while, "You better just kill me! Fuck! When I get out of here, I'll skin you alive and feed you to the dogs, you son of a bitch! Let me see your face, you punk! Coward!"
"Shut the hell up! I dare you to say that again!!" Jia Dapeng set the baton to the maximum voltage and stabbed directly at Qin Feng's heart.
Qin Feng could see a glimmer of light coming toward him through the dark velvet. If he got electrocuted in the heart, no amount of physical strength or endurance training could save him from a possible cardiac arrest.
Before the baton could touch him, Qin Feng sharply doubled over, smashing his forehead into Jia Dapeng's gut. His center of gravity unbalanced, Jia Dapeng staggered back several steps before finally falling over the interrogation table.
Qin Feng smirked, "Haha, you loser. Even handcuffed to a chair, I can still kick your ass!"
From the sound of his voice, he had already guessed the identity of his would-be torturer. "You're Jia Dapeng, aren't you? I know it's you, there's no use trying to hide it. Who do you think you're fooling? Get this stupid bag off my head already."
Jia Dapeng yanked the cloth off his head and pointed his electric baton at Qin Feng's nose. "You are about to die and you still can't put a lid on it!" he snapped at him. "You'll be calling me Granddaddy by the time I'm through with you!"
Qin Feng humphed disdainfully and said, "You? You want to fight me with a taser? I'm telling you, I could kill you as easy as swatting a fly."
Qin Feng was at the limits of his patience. He discovered a truth during his time in Tianhe: the more careful he was, the more he was deceived. No one here spoke with reason. It was all about power and fists. He tried to push Zhao Jun to the top through careful maneuvering, to rely on his influence to protect Sister Flower, but he found that Zhao Jun was useless and could not stand up on his own at all. Small incidents sparked conflicts again and again. He wanted to protect her in secret, but this lo longer seemed a viable option - he had to come forward and protect Sister Flower personally, as well as her Free Man Bar.

Q: MySQL not shutting down when trying to restart I am running a CentOS in my Vagrant box and via SSH terminal have run the following command to restart the MySQL service

The message Shutting down MySQL appears but it never actually completes shutting it down.
If I try running the sudo service mysql start it does the same thing and doesn't complete the process.. any ideas
-- UPDATE --
I have run the command ps aux | grep mysql to find all the MySQL processes and can see i've got a number of processes - I've killed a number of these but a few dont seem to want to be killed? I have used the force kill option e.g sudo kill -9 id and still no joy...
It would appear this is due to zombie processes... can anyone suggest how to destroy this

Apparently Charlie isn't just blowing off steam. He's actually very uncomfortable with what happened.
YEAH! I LOVE CHARLIE! WHOO!
Do you think if I grew out a goatee and went to cons, people would recognize me as Charlie?
Looking back, it was ambiguous in Charlie's case whether or not he viewed himself as having a problem. John, Eric, Ashley all recognized their problems and tried to overcome them in varying degrees, but was Charlie ever troubled by his anger at his mom? Carl made the judgment he had a problem, and Olivia went in to do her duty and solve it, bringing John into help her. It makes sense that he would be upset at having something about him altered that he did not necessarily want to change, making him the perfect person to challenge the idea of fighting monsters in soul worlds.
I'm really loving these updates; it's adding another layer of complexity to the story. My big question is what this means for the rest of the final movement. No matter the outcome, I don't think it's end of story just yet.
That is so true. Took the words right out of my mouth. For Angel, Chris, and John, they recognized the problem and tried their hardest to get over them. So through this, they were able to reach a goal that they have given up on reaching. However, Charlie didn't think it was a problem. He just thought he was being a grown up; when those emotions changed, he did not see a problem with that. But when he realized they were changed outside of his control, it bothered him. So he wasn't the one who changed, just some random girl who went into my head who did it?
^ You have a really good point. The chemistry between the characters becomes extremely interesting with this.
It's called tough love, Charlie.
And Charlie suddenly went from douchebag to favorite character in one page.

Karli Ritter
FOX4 meteorologist
Karli Ritter joined FOX4 in March of 2007 and forecasts for FOX4 News from 4:30-9:00 a.m.
Karli's passion for weather started at a young age while she was growing up in central Florida. In between the afternoon thunderstorms, she would often track every hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean on her own personal tracking map. Then she saw a waterspout in the Florida Keys… she was hooked!
Her passion led her from central Florida to the panhandle, where she studied at Florida State University. While there, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology. During her time at FSU, her involvement with a student-run weather show started her on the path to becoming a television meteorologist. After graduation, she worked in Sarasota, Fla, and Montgomery, Ala.
Since moving to Kansas City, Karli has become involved with many charities around town including Heroes for Hospice, which she co-founded. She also earned her Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal in November 2007 from the American Meteorological Society. Karli also enjoys storm chasing but has scaled back now that she has a daughter to chase instead.
When she's not in the FOX4 Weather Center, Karli enjoys honing her new mom skills, traveling, cooking, fishing, yoga, running (three marathons and counting!), spending time on a boat and playing or watching any sport.
Karli, her husband, daughter and son are so happy to call this part of the country home.
The excessive heat warning starts at 1PM Wednesday and continues till at least 8PM Saturday…and depending on the progress of the weekend front…it may need to be extended through Sunday. Relief comes early next week We've all taken shots at a local TV meteorologist at one point or another, and we've certainly seen your comments on social media. Just why is it so difficult to figure out how much snow is actually going to fall? Pouring rain, days of snow, […]

From the nightly news to the red carpets, #METOO and #TIMESUP movements have dominated the media in recent months. As Hollywood wrapped up the 90th annual Academy Awards®, there's no doubt that the future of gaming and cinema is female. In the last decade, only two women have served as host of the Academy Awards, sparking the desire for female representation to a fever pitch. A recent survey commissioned by Minkonet, a 3D interactive video technology developer, reveals that Americans of all ages, geographical regions and political affiliations not only support females in high profile media roles, such as hosting the Oscars®, but often prefer them over men.

STS Fryderk Chopin Sets Sail from Szczecin
Chopin's Grave, Paris
Last week STS Fryderyk Chopin set sail from the Szczecin Seaport to promote Poland in several European ports over the next few months. The project is organised by the Polish Tourism Organisation and commemorates the 200th anniversary of Frederic Chopin's birthday. The artist may be considered one of the ambassadors of the Polish culture in Europe and one of the most recognised Poles abroad. Chopin's works and life are related not only to Poland, but the whole Europe. Under the project the sailing ship "Chopin" will visit seaports in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom. A number of events are planned in the ports all aimed at promotion of Poland, including its tourist and historical values, cultural and artistic events, encouraging foreigners to visit Poland and presentation of Poland as a EU member state and a country which is active in many fields, including artistic, educational, scientific fields and with great cultural heritage. The cruise is attended by students of tourist universities, selected during recruitment and obliged to actively participate in the events and communicate project ideas. Examples of activities at ports include construction of a bust of Chopin using country-specific components (e.g. in London – umbrellas, France – wine bottles), Polonaise dance classes with an attempt to beat the Guinness record, ballet, classes and lectures devoted to Poland and Poles, open for all event participants.
The arrival dates are as followed:
Ystad June 14th
Malmo June 17th
Copenhagen June 18th
Stockholm June 23rd
Karlskrona June 28th

Chopin Concerts in London
The Chopin Society in London was founded in 1971 by Lucie Swiatek to celebrate the genius of Fryderyk Chopin and increase the knowledge and appreciation of his music. This last weekend was the bicentenary anniversary of Chopin's birth and to celebrate the society has organised a number of concerts and talks under the title Footsteps of Chopin.
In 1848, following a revolution in France, Chopin was persuaded to visit London, and spent a total of 4½ months there, giving private and semi-public concerts as well as teaching. The concerts and talks will be held in or near the venues used by Chopin, mostly in the St James's area where Chopin stayed during his visit to Britain in 1848.
The venues for concerts include St Paul's Church Covent Garden, the Royal Over-Seas League, The Wigmore Hall, The Arts Club, Lancaster House, The Athenaeum, The Naval & Military Club, Brown's Hotel and Guildhall.
A few of these events will be by invitation or for Chopin Society Members only, but the majority will be open to the general public. It is necessary to book for many of these events and booking forms will be available online.

Game Workers Australia union celebrates launch in May
Australia's first union for games industry workers is set to launch on 1 May 2022, a day that celebrates the triumphs of the labour movement.

Game Workers is officially joining Professionals Australia to form the first major games industry union for the country, with the launch set to take place in Sydney on 1 May 2022. The event will coincide with International Worker's Day, which commemorates the successes and challenges of the labour movement, and will allow all game workers to chat about plans for the union, and what it hopes to achieve in future.
As the first major union for game workers in Australia, its establishment is an important milestone – and one that should help to foster thriving work environments as the local industry continues to grow.
'The video game sector is worth over $3 billion dollars to the Australian economy every year so it's vital that game workers have industrial representation and share in the wealth generated by this industry through better wages and conditions,' Jill McCabe, Professionals Australia CEO said in a press release.
'Game Workers Australia is a natural extension of our support for the workers who are powering Australia's digital economy. We look forward to representing game workers, strengthening their standing in the game industry, and improving their pay and conditions.'

The union was established with help from industry veteran Tim Colwill, who believes the partnership with Professionals Australia will help strengthen the power and scope of the union.
'Since 2016 we have been working as a group of activists and volunteers to support and assist our members. Thanks to this partnership with Professionals Australia, we can now build the movement to the next level and really step up the fight for better pay and conditions,' Colwill said.
'Like a growing number of professions, game workers are highly qualified and skilled, but wages are unsustainably low, the hours are long, and unpaid overtime is common. Many people burn out of our industry and leave before even making it to five years. We know that by working together, we can build something better.'
Maize Wallin, co-convenor of Game Workers Australia explained more about how the union was formed, and what its goals are, in an email to GamesHub.
'We've been campaigning as part of the global Game Workers Unite movement for the last four years. Over that time, we've helped hundreds of workers look over their contracts, negotiate for better conditions or rates, and have more literacy around their own rights,' Wallin said.
'With the launch of Game Workers Australia as part of Professionals Australia, we now have the power of being a national trade union. So now not only with the added benefit of a lot more resources, we have the benefit of legal backing for our members who need it.'
'It's particularly timely as more state governments, and the federal government, are paying our industry more attention. It's important that workers and the diversity of our industry get a voice in these negotiations, and not just employers who have traditionally been the only ones at the table. In our work, we are really leading the way for advocating for workers in 2022.'
As workplace challenges become more prominent and spoken about in other regions – international developers Raven Software and Keywords Studios are currently in the process of unionising over poor working conditions – it's essential that Australia keeps up with progress.
Recent reports have made clear that hostile workplaces and poor management are not exclusive to large developers, and that workers of all types should consider unionising when conditions are unfair or unjust.
Going forward, Game Workers Australia aims to continue its work in improving conditions for individual union member, while also working to establish the first Enterprise Bargaining Agreement for the Australian games industry – a large scale negotiation to set transparent, binding wages and conditions for all workers.
It will also continue to support freelancers with workshops, co-op advocacy and surveys to help grasp the scope of the industry as it currently exists, and analyse areas for improvement.
Those wanting to learn more about Game Workers Australia are encouraged to attend the group's upcoming Sydney launch. It takes place from 1:30 pm AEST on Sunday, 1 May 2022 at Mothership Studio, located at 18-22 Sydney Street, Marrickville. There will also be a livestream for virtual attendees.
It represents a great opportunity to jump in and learn more about what unions can do as Australia's local industry grows.

Capes and Tights
BOOM! Studios today proudly announced Dune: House Harkonnen #1, the premiere issue of a brand new twelve-issue comic book series expanding the rich mythology of Frank Herbert's Dune. The second official, NYT Bestselling prequel to Dune is adapted for the first time by award-winning novelists Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and artist Michael Shelfer (Domino), colorist Patricio Delpeche, and letterer Ed Dukeshire, unveiling a closer look at the rising conflict between beloved characters and bitter villains and available in stores January 2023.
Fans will gain insight into how the early years of iconic figures Gurney Halleck, Lady Jessica, and Liet Kynes had their future shaped by the complex and brutal machinations of House Harkonnen! What difficult choices will tear Leto Atreides apart as Baron Harkonnen plots against not just House Atreides, but the Bene Gesserit and the Emperor himself?
