Book excerpt: Reggie "Truck" Brown left New Jersey in 1978 with a one-way ticket, $50, a suitcase and said he wasn't coming back until he made something of himself. Making it to the pros was what he always wanted to do but coming from a large family, didn't have the money even for Pop Warner - so they played in the streets. Guys would play representing the streets they lived on, like the Bergen Street Blue Bombers, the Hillside Cowboys, the Hunterdon Fingerprints, and the Peshine Undertakers. He started to make a name for himself at Shabazz High School but suffered a back injury and was told he wouldn't able to play sports again for the rest of his life. As Reggie would tell it, "that's what the doctors said - but they forgot to ask me!" He headed off to Pasadena City College, went on to the University of Oregon where he realized his dream, drafted as a Running Back by the Atlanta Falcons in 1982. He continued to play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and retired with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1987. Behind the glitz and glamour, Reggie suffered in silence for years. What he mastered in college was how to be an alcoholic and a drug addict. After the NFL with no more playbook, no guide, no coaches, and no structure things only got worse. Eventually it cost him everything. He struggled and clawed his way back with a determination not to hide but tell the real story of his life as a professional athlete. He was honored to have been inducted into the 2015-2016 Pasadena City College Hall of Fame as the school's all-time Leading Rusher. Since his days in the NFL, he has addressed audiences of over 50,000 people at conferences and corporate events across the U.S. and abroad. One thing he knew he couldn't do working as an employee is leave a legacy. Today as an entrepreneur and CEO of Reggie Brown Productions you're likely to find him speaking with youth, helping them think about life beyond sports and spreading his slogan message that, "every day you wake up is truly a Great Day to be Alive!"

Book excerpt: Design automation blueprints using Ansible's playbooks to orchestrate and manage your multi-tier infrastructure About This Book Get to grips with Ansible's features such as orchestration, automatic node discovery, and data encryption Create data-driven, modular and reusable automation code with Ansible roles, facts, variables, and templates A step-by-step approach to automating and managing system and application configurations effectively using Ansible's playbooks Who This Book Is For If you are a systems or automation engineer who intends to automate common infrastructure tasks, deploy applications, and use orchestration to configure systems in a co-ordinated manner, then this book is for you. Some understanding of the Linux/UNIX command line interface is expected. What You Will Learn Write simple tasks and plays Organize code into a reusable, modular structure Separate code from data using variables and Jinja2 templates Run custom commands and scripts using Ansible's command modules Control execution flow based on conditionals Integrate nodes and discover topology information about other nodes in the cluster Encrypt data with ansible-vault Create environments with isolated configurations to match application development workflow Orchestrate infrastructure and deploy applications in a coordinated manner In Detail Ansible combines configuration management, orchestration, and parallel command execution into a single tool. Its batteries-included approach and built-in module library makes it easy to integrate it with cloud platforms, databases, and notification services without requiring additional plugins. Playbooks in Ansible define the policies your systems under management enforce. They facilitate effective configuration management rather than running ad hoc scripts to deploy complex applications. This book will show you how to write a blueprint of your infrastructure encompassing multi-tier applications using Ansible's playbooks. Beginning with the basic concepts such as plays, tasks, handlers, inventory, and the YAML syntax that Ansible uses, you will see how to organize your code into a modular structure. Building on this, you will master techniques to create data-driven playbooks with variables, templates, logical constructs, and encrypted data. This book will also take you through advanced clustering concepts such as discovering topology information, managing multiple environments, and orchestration. By the end of this book, you will be able to design solutions to your automation and orchestration problems using playbooks quickly and efficiently. Style and approach This book follows a step-by-step approach, with the concepts explained in a conversational and easy-to-follow style. Each topic is explained sequentially in the process of creating a course. A comprehensive explanation of the basic and advanced features of Ansible playbooks is also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the reader through a long view of American history, What Happened to the Vital Center? offers a novel and important contribution to the ongoing scholarly and popular discussion of how America fell apart and what might be done to end the Cold Civil War that fractures the country and weakens the national resolve. In What Happened to the Vital Center?, Nicholas Jacobs and Sidney Milkis tackle a foundational question within American political history: Is current partisan polarization, aggravated by populist disdain for constitutional principles and institutions, a novel development in American politics? Populism is not a new threat to the country's democratic experiment, but now insurgents intrude directly on elections and government. During previous periods of populist unrest, the US was governed by resilient parties that moderated extremist currents within the political system. This began to crumble during the 1960s, as anti-institutionalist incursions into the Democratic and Republican organizations gave rise to reforms that empowered activists at the expense of the median voter and shifted the controlling power over parties to the executive branch. Gradually, the moderating influence that parties played in structuring campaigns and the policy process eroded to the point where extreme polarization dominated and decision-making power migrated to the presidency. Weakened parties were increasingly dominated by presidents and their partnerships with social activists, leading to a gridlocked system characterized by the politics of demonization and demagoguery. Executive-centered parties more easily ignore the sorts of moderating voices that had prevailed in an earlier era. While the Republican Party is more susceptible to the dangers of populism than the Democrats, both parties are animated by a presidency-led, movement-centered vision of democracy. After tracing this history, the authors dismiss calls to return to some bygone era. Rather, the final section highlights the ways in which the two parties can be revitalized as institutions of collective responsibility that can transform personal ambition and rancorous partisanship into principled conflict over the profound issues that now divide the country. The book will transform our understanding of how we ended up in our current state of extreme polarization and what we can do to fix it.
