Teen depression
Sectionsfor Teen depression
Teen depression is a serious mental health problem that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities. It affects how your teenager thinks, feels and behaves, and it can cause emotional, functional and physical problems. Although depression can occur at any time in life, symptoms may be different between teens and adults.
Issues such as peer pressure, academic expectations and changing bodies can bring a lot of ups and downs for teens. But for some teens, the lows are more than just temporary feelings — they're a symptom of depression.
Teen depression isn't a weakness or something that can be overcome with willpower — it can have serious consequences and requires long-term treatment. For most teens, depression symptoms ease with treatment such as medication and psychological counseling.

Teen depression signs and symptoms include a change from the teenager's previous attitude and behavior that can cause significant distress and problems at school or home, in social activities, or in other areas of life.
Depression symptoms can vary in severity, but changes in your teen's emotions and behavior may include the examples below.
Emotional changes
Be alert for emotional changes, such as:
Feelings of sadness, which can include crying spells for no apparent reason
Frustration or feelings of anger, even over small matters
Feeling hopeless or empty
Irritable or annoyed mood
Loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities
Loss of interest in, or conflict with, family and friends
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Fixation on past failures or exaggerated self-blame or self-criticism
Extreme sensitivity to rejection or failure, and the need for excessive reassurance
Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions and remembering things
Ongoing sense that life and the future are grim and bleak
Frequent thoughts of death, dying or suicide
Watch for changes in behavior, such as:
Tiredness and loss of energy
Insomnia or sleeping too much
Changes in appetite — decreased appetite and weight loss, or increased cravings for food and weight gain
Use of alcohol or drugs
Agitation or restlessness — for example, pacing, hand-wringing or an inability to sit still
Slowed thinking, speaking or body movements
Frequent complaints of unexplained body aches and headaches, which may include frequent visits to the school nurse
Poor school performance or frequent absences from school
Less attention to personal hygiene or appearance
Angry outbursts, disruptive or risky behavior, or other acting-out behaviors
Self-harm — for example, cutting or burning
Making a suicide plan or a suicide attempt
It can be difficult to tell the difference between ups and downs that are just part of being a teenager and teen depression. Talk with your teen. Try to determine whether he or she seems capable of managing challenging feelings, or if life seems overwhelming.
If depression signs and symptoms continue, begin to interfere in your teen's life, or cause you to have concerns about suicide or your teen's safety, talk to a doctor or a mental health professional trained to work with adolescents. Your teen's family doctor or pediatrician is a good place to start. Or your teen's school may recommend someone.
Depression symptoms likely won't get better on their own — and they may get worse or lead to other problems if untreated. Depressed teenagers may be at risk of suicide, even if signs and symptoms don't appear to be severe.
If you're a teen and you think you may be depressed — or you have a friend who may be depressed — don't wait to get help. Talk to a health care provider such as your doctor or school nurse. Share your concerns with a parent, a close friend, a spiritual leader, a teacher or someone else you trust.
Suicide is often associated with depression. If you think you may hurt yourself or attempt suicide, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
Also consider these options if you're having suicidal thoughts:
Call your mental health professional.
Contact a suicide hotline.
In the U.S., call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Or use the Lifeline Chat. The Spanish language phone line is 1-888-628-9454 (toll-free). Services are free and confidential.
Or contact a crisis service for teenagers in the U.S. called TXT 4 HELP: Text the word "safe" and your current location to 4HELP (44357) for immediate help, with the option for interactive texting.
Seek help from your primary care doctor or other health care provider.
Reach out to a close friend or loved one.
Contact a minister, spiritual leader or someone else in your faith community.
If a loved one or friend is in danger of attempting suicide or has made an attempt:
Make sure someone stays with that person.
Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
Or, if you can do so safely, take the person to the nearest hospital emergency room.
Never ignore comments or concerns about suicide. Always take action to get help.

It's not known exactly what causes depression, but a variety of issues may be involved. These include:
Brain chemistry. Neurotransmitters are naturally occurring brain chemicals that carry signals to other parts of your brain and body. When these chemicals are abnormal or impaired, the function of nerve receptors and nerve systems changes, leading to depression.
Hormones. Changes in the body's balance of hormones may be involved in causing or triggering depression.
Inherited traits. Depression is more common in people whose blood relatives — such as a parent or grandparent — also have the condition.
Early childhood trauma. Traumatic events during childhood, such as physical or emotional abuse, or loss of a parent, may cause changes in the brain that increase the risk of depression.
Learned patterns of negative thinking. Teen depression may be linked to learning to feel helpless — rather than learning to feel capable of finding solutions for life's challenges.
Many factors increase the risk of developing or triggering teen depression, including:
Having issues that negatively impact self-esteem, such as obesity, peer problems, long-term bullying or academic problems
Having been the victim or witness of violence, such as physical or sexual abuse
Having other mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder, an anxiety disorder, a personality disorder, anorexia or bulimia
Having a learning disability or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Having ongoing pain or a chronic physical illness such as cancer, diabetes or asthma
Having certain personality traits, such as low self-esteem or being overly dependent, self-critical or pessimistic
Abusing alcohol, nicotine or other drugs
Being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender in an unsupportive environment
Family history and issues with family or others may also increase your teenager's risk of depression, such as:
Having a parent, grandparent or other blood relative with depression, bipolar disorder or alcohol use problems
Having a family member who died by suicide
Having a family with major communication and relationship problems
Having experienced recent stressful life events, such as parental divorce, parental military service or the death of a loved one
Untreated depression can result in emotional, behavioral and health problems that affect every area of your teenager's life. Complications related to teen depression may include, for example:
Alcohol and drug misuse
Academic problems
Family conflicts and relationship difficulties
Suicide attempts or suicide
There's no sure way to prevent depression. However, these strategies may help. Encourage your teenager to:
Take steps to control stress, increase resilience and boost self-esteem to help handle issues when they arise
Practice self-care, for example by creating a healthy sleep routine and using electronics responsibly and in moderation
Reach out for friendship and social support, especially in times of crisis
Get treatment at the earliest sign of a problem to help prevent depression from worsening
Maintain ongoing treatment, if recommended, even after symptoms let up, to help prevent a relapse of depression symptoms

Howard Richards, the first officer, was hired on March 21, 1923, and the police department was formed on March 28th of that same year. The department was comprised of five officers with Howard Richards appointed its chief. In the 1920's the city jail was located between the railroad tracks and U.S. 1 on Avenue A.
In 1951, the city hired Louis Gilchrist and Eddie Bailey, their first African-American officers. Their original duty was in the Lincoln Park area and later was altered to cover Avenue C to 9th Street to 13th Street to Avenue D. By the end of 1955 five officers were covering this neighborhood.
The K-9 unit was added in 1972 with Officer James Mahar becoming the first handler. Officer Mahar later became Chief of Police. Today's K-9 Unit consists of four teams.
Fonda Doane became the first sworn female police officer on March 14, 1973. Currently, there are 14 female officers and 33 women in the department that serve as duty officers and support staff.
In 1987 construction began on the current home of the Department at 920 S. U.S. 1 and was completed in August 1988. Previously the department shared facilities with the courthouse and jail at 435 North 7th Street.
Construction began on the new substation in 1999 and was completed in November of 2000. It was dedicated to and named in honor of, Sergeant Willie B. Ellis, who was the first Fort Pierce Police Officer killed in the line of duty. It is located at 1220 Avenue D and replaces the first neighborhood substation that was opened in 1991 on Avenue I.

Toronto's most famous farmers' market will stay open later on weekdays and offer Sunday shopping in a test pilot to see if new operating hours better meet the needs of customers and merchants.
However, early bird shoppers will no longer be able to hit the St. Lawrence Market at 5 a.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. during the week.
St. Lawrence Market testing new operating hours Back to video
The City of Toronto announced the one-year pilot begins March 15, 2020.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how many residents and visitors embrace Sunday and evening shopping at St. Lawrence Market," Mayor John Tory said in a statement Monday. "The new Hours of Operation Pilot Project modernizes the market's operations and ensures that more people have the opportunity to experience this amazing, historic Toronto destination."
The market will be open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Currently, the market is open Tuesday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed on Sundays and Monday.
Under the new operating hours pilot project, the market will remain closed Mondays.
The city says the new hours are the result of consultation with stakeholders, vendors and the general public.
"The goal is to optimize the market's operating hours," the city said, adding a final decision on permanent operating hours will be made next year.
Holidays may impact the schedule, the city added.

CES 2019 is behind our backs, and were looking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month. Xiaomi already confirmed their presence, while Sony started handing out invites. Another big player that will join next month is LG, and according to sources from South Korea, the maker will introduce a foldable smartphone.
The new device will not have a flexible screen like the Samsung Galaxy F or the Huawei concept. According to a company representative, it will be similar to the ZTE Axon M, but with a thinner bezel, making both screens merge into one continuous display. The reason for this solution and not the flexible panel is the price – LG wants to keep the smartphone in the KRW1 million (less than $900) spectrum, instead of going for a KRW2 million phone (about $1,800).
The vice-chairman of LG said back at CES that the company is going for changes with the form factor to stay competitive and to keep an edge to other makers. Korean sources also reveal the new device will have touchless input which will recognize hand gestures from 20 to 30 centimeters so that users can operate with the phone in all situations. The technology will be available both to the G and V series, as well as the Folder phone.

Lancashire Crew Lists Volunteer Project
Lancashire Crew Lists Volunteer Project starting Tuesday 14 February 2017
Lancashire Archives, Bow Lane, Preston, PR1 2RE
Lancashire Family History & Heraldry Society in partnership with Lancashire Archives has been awarded local project funding by the Federation of Family History Societies.
Under the supervision of an archive support officer, volunteers will create a name index to two important series of Lancashire Crew Lists held at Lancashire Archives. These cover the period 1863 – 1914 and contain about 82,000 entries, which give details of the crew members of ships registered in Lancashire – at the ports of Preston, Fleetwood and Lancaster. Seamen from across the United Kingdom, and beyond, are recorded in these records. Many will have escaped the census enumerator and it is an exciting opportunity to unlock a valuable new source for family historians
Training for this volunteer role is essential and a 2-hour induction session will be held on Tuesday 7 February 2017 starting at 10.00am.
The session will include an introduction to the project, a discussion about the information contained within the crew lists, guidance on how to approach the indexing, and information on the reference resources which will be made available to volunteers. There will also be a document handling session led by one of the archive's conservators. The training will conclude with an opportunity for volunteers to carry out some indexing and to ask questions about the project.
To take part in the project please email the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society project officer, Tony Foster on tonyfoster@fastmail.co.uk or come to the training session to find out more.


Part of the 'Town & Country Collection', the 'Grand Country Cabinet' was inspired by our London Craft Week partnership with Cordings - who have been trading on London's Piccadilly since 1839.
For the design inspiration of our Grand Country Cabinet, we immersed ourselves within the Cordings quintessentially British approach to outfitting and their customer narrative - a professional gentleman of social stature – whom at the end of a busy, business week retires to his rural, des-res in order to enjoy some well-earned country pursuits.
Crafted from European Oak timbers, it was important that the cabinetry felt equally at home within a period townhouse or a regal country escape. The physical silhouette of the furniture has an air of simplistic sophistication. A classical furniture arrangement; consisting of pilasters flanking cabinetry with embellishment of fine detailed timber profiles – cut and mitred into a breakfront formation.
The depth and quality of craftmanship become the key feature of the flat panel doors – allowing the beautiful feature veneers of decorative burr cluster oak, an outer radial frame of quarter cut walnut and a contrasting pinstripe of lemon satin wood to play centre stage.
Beauty is most certainly not skin deep – we pride ourselves on detail.
Beauty is most certainly not skin deep with a Clive Christian Furniture Co. interior – we pride ourselves on detail.
Internal panel work of airy oak is paired with beautiful English Wellington Green leather - a subtle nod to the country, which compliments the gentile house check of Cordings quite wonderfully! Our hides are sourced from a Scottish tannery, Bridge of Weir, who are synonymous within the luxury automotive industry.
The drawer boxes are activated to reveal etched illustrations, creating a truly unique signature finish.
Using illustrations taken directly from Cordings house field clothing silk linings,the drawer boxes are etched create a truly unique signature finish.
The cabinet is decorated with our 'Classical Luxe' cabinetry hardware. The handle, alike our cabinetry, is entirely customisable. The client can choose between solid brass or steel turnings with the option to add personalisation to the insert, in this instance we have chosen to display the stylish brand insignia. These pieces are all designed and crafted in the UK, uniquely for Clive Christian Furniture Co. to perfectly complement our fine furniture.
The TOWN & COUNTRY COLLECTION is available for commission and can be customised to your own design. If you have a project you would like to discuss with us, our team are at your disposal, and look forward to answering your questions.

Despite Supreme Court Ruling, Many Minors May Stay in Prison for Life
By Suevon Lee of ProPublica
Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 7:40 AM
Politics / Law Enforcement & Crime
When Dennis Epps learned in June that the Supreme Court had struck down mandatory life without parole sentences for kids convicted of murder, he was hopeful. His brother, David, was given such a sentence for home burglary-murder committed at 16 and has spent most of his 48 years behind bars. "I was thinking he was going to get some kind of release, because he served 32 years on a life sentence," Epps told ProPublica.
But Epps's brother is unlikely going anywhere soon. A few weeks after the ruling, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad announced he would commute the life without parole sentences of 38 juvenile offenders, and make them eligible for parole after 60 years. David Epps would be in his mid-seventies when he could first be released.
Branstad
Under the Supreme Court's ruling, minors can still get life without parole sentences — just not automatically after a conviction; instead a judge will need to decide, taking into account the minor's youth.
For the roughly 2,500 juvenile offenders already sentenced to life in prison without parole, the upshot of the ruling — Miller v. Alabama — seemed clear: "They will all get another bite at the sentencing apple," Dan Filler, a professor at Drexel University's Earle Mack School of Law, wrote shortly after the ruling.
That may not happen if Iowa's governor or many other states get their way. "Justice is a balance and these commutations ensure that justice is balanced with punishment for those vicious crimes and taking into account public safety," Governor Branstad said in announcing his order.
The governor's action, which sidesteps any potential resentencing hearings, has sparked criticism and legal challenges. Stephen Bright, director of the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta who teaches at Yale Law School, called the governor's order "questionable legally and bad public policy." "The main point of the Miller decision — and the main concern of any sentencing — should be individualized sentencing based on factors about each human being," he said. "Obviously, nothing about any of the 38 individuals was taken into account, just as it was not when they were sentenced to life imprisonment without parole."
Yet Filler, the Drexel law professor who wrote about the ruling, said it actually leaves the details to states to iron out. "When you look at the decision closely, it implicitly leaves room for exactly what the governor of Iowa did," he told ProPublica. "It doesn't give us any guidance. You have to see this decision as entirely cloudy. Different states are going to try different things."
Indeed, some states have suggested they don't plan on rolling back minors' life without parole sentences, pointing out the Supreme Court left unclear whether its ruling should be applied retroactively to minors already sentenced. (Twenty-six states currently have mandatory life without parole statutes for juveniles.)
"It is the (Alabama) Attorney General's position that this rule does not apply retroactively," Alabama Solicitor General John C. Neiman Jr. told us. "Ultimately whether it will apply retroactively is going to be a question that will be litigated in, and decided by, the courts."
In its June 25 decision, a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court ordered an individualized approach to sentencing for juveniles convicted of murder to consider proportionality of punishment to the nature of the crime and offender's history.
Sentencers are now required to "follow a certain process — considering an offender's youth and attendant circumstances — before imposing a particular penalty," wrote Justice Elena Kagan for the majority. Among the unique characteristics of youth cited were "immaturity, impetuosity, and failure to appreciate risks and consequences."
While the opinion didn't impose a categorical ban on life without parole sentences for juveniles, it requires that authorities "take into account how children are different, and how those differences counsel against irrevocably sentencing them to a lifetime in prison."
The decision follows in the steps of a recent line of Supreme Court cases stating that kids, by virtue of their youth and lack of fully matured brains, are different from adults and have greater capacity for rehabilitation. In 2005, the Court struck down the death penalty for those under 18. In 2010, it forbade life without parole for juveniles convicted of crimes that aren't murder.
The patchy aftermath of the 2010 decision illustrates the challenges states have faced in implementing changes to their laws. Florida — which dispensed the lion's share of life without parole sentences to minors for non-homicides — is still grappling with how to address the ruling. Greater discretion in judges' hands has also led, in some cases, to 70- to 90-year sentences for minors — while not technically life, a comparable term of years.
In the wake of Miller, some states around the country have already taken legislative action. North Carolina recently passed an amendment granting juvenile lifers parole review after 25 years. It also requires judges to consider such factors as age, immaturity, intellectual capacity, mental health history, and the influence of familial or peer pressure when imposing punishment.
In Michigan, which boasts the second-highest number of juvenile lifers, criminal defense attorneys have begun mobilizing legal assistance for current inmates despite disagreement as to whether or not the court's decision is retroactive.
In Pennsylvania, the state with the most number of juvenile offenders serving life without parole (444), the state Senate Judiciary Committee recently solicited testimony from various stakeholders to decide how to proceed. The issue of retroactivity there, too, remains uncertain.
Iowa's recent executive order is not the first time a governor preemptively took action following a Supreme Court ruling: In 2005, Governor Rick Perry of Texas commuted the death sentences of 28 juvenile offenders, changing them to life sentences with the possibility of parole after 40 years. Around the same time, he had also signed a mandatory life without parole statute for juveniles; Texas abolished the statute in 2009.
If the Iowa governor's order stands, 38 juvenile offenders — including David Epps — will not be eligible for parole until they reach their mid-70s, about the normal life expectancy of Americans. But of course prison can prematurely age people. The National Institute of Corrections designates an elderly or aging prisoner as age 50 and older.
Recidivism rates also decline the older a prisoner gets: In Iowa, statistics show these rates drop markedly once an inmate reaches age 45 and even more dramatically by the time he's 55.
In light of the governor's action in Iowa, any hope Dennis Epps had of ever seeing his brother get out of prison was short-lived. The governor "might as well have left them serving a life sentence, because that's pretty much what that is," he said.

Lake Murray S.C. is one of the most unique man made lakes in all of the United States. It is named after the project engineer that helped in the creation, William S. Murray.
Lake Murray was created in the 1920's to provide hydro-electric power to the state of South Carolina. It is over 50,000 acres in size, and has a shoreline of over 500 miles. Lake Murray's main source of inflow is from the Saluda River that originates near the North Carolina-South Carolina line in the upstate.
The Lake Murray Dam was an engineering feat in itself. The dam was created using native red clay and bedrock from the area. At 1.5 miles in length it was the worlds largest earthen dam at the time of its creation in the 1930's.
From large palacial mansions to small fishing cottages today, Lake Murray SC. offers any type of home that one could want to live. Lake Murray also offers many types of recreation to enjoy. Motor boating, fishing, skiing, sailing, jet skiing, and much more. Lake Murray was and is one of the most focal points of the area, and a great place to live, work and play in the South Carolina Midlands.
• The Lake Murray Dam was the largest earthen dam in the world at the time of construction.
• Improvements for the dam which were just completed widened it to accomodate a 4 lane roadway. Previously, SC Hwy. 6 was just 2 lanes.
• A new backup dam has been completed and now features a walking and bike lane across the dam .

My relationship with Judaism during college is best described by the Chicken Incident. Although I never went back to services after my triumphant Shacharit, I decided to keep eating kosher food, such as I interpreted it. My mother, on the other hand, was thrilled to never make a plate of borscht or kishkas again after the divorce. She began to delight in BLTs and other pleasures forbidden since youth. I think I needed to hold on to some structure during this time of family turmoil, or perhaps I had six years of the fear of sin as inculcated by Rabbis N and S still rattling in my bones. Or maybe it was a little of both. In any case, I avoided treyf at college, although during my freshman year erroneously believed pepperoni was a vegetable, never having encountered one before, and for a few months ate the turkey tettrazini, which was pretty good. I tried the Kosher Kitchen, but although I enjoyed my mother's particular style of canned, overcooked, and wilted cuisine, I did have my limits. Besides, real Jews went to the Kosher Kitchen, and I was starting to feel like an imposter.
Passover posed a problem. During my freshman and sophomore years, I subsisted on hard-boiled eggs, dining hall salads, and jars of gefilte fish that my roommates found alien and disgusting. I craved protein. In my junior year, I decided to take advantage of the small basement kitchen available to undergraduates and cook myself a chicken. Never mind that I had never cooked a chicken before, and that it wouldn't be officially k for p, and that I had nowhere to put it. It was close enough, and would keep the ghosts of Rabbis N and S at bay.

Mets to retire Jerry Koosman's number 36 during 2020 season.
Koosman becomes just the third player in franchise history to have his number retired by the organization.

Earlier today, the New York Mets officially revealed that they will retire Jerry Koosman's number 36 during the 2020 season. Chief Operating Officere Jeff Wilpon made the announcement during a press conference prior to the team's game against the Miami Marlins. The date holds plenty of significance for the organization, marking 50 years to the day since they won their first National League East title on September 24, 1969.
Koosman (36) will join teammate and fellow rotation mate Tom Seaver (41) and Mike Piazza (31) as the only players to have their numbers retired by the Mets. In addition to that trio, managers Casey Stengel (37) and Gil Hodges (14) have had their numbers retired by the Mets along with Jackie Robinson (42), whose number is retired throughout Major League Baseball. The 76-year-old released the following statement:
The news that the Mets Hall of Fame Committee has voted to retire my number is another life-changing thrill & honor...to know that my number will be retired and sit alongside other team legends is one of the greatest tributes I could ever be granted. I was always proud to be a Met. Today, I am even prouder.
The left-hander spent the first 12 years of his career with the Mets, making 346 starts and going 140-137 with a 3.09 ERA, a 3.12 FIP, and a 1.22 WHIP in 2,544.2 innings pitched. In his time in New York, he recorded 1,799 strikeouts and tossed 108 complete games. His 140 wins is a franchise record among left-handed pitchers, and his four postseason victories also stands as a franchise-best. He was named to the 1968 and 1969 National League All Star teams, pitching a combined two scoreless innings in those appearances. He led the team with a career-best 2.08 ERA in 1968 and led the way with 192 strikeouts in 1977 and 160 strikeouts in 1978.
Koosman was a key contributor on both the 1969 and 1973 National League pennant-winning squads. In the 1969 World Series, he took the mound after his team lost Game 1 and pitched 8.2 innings of two-hit ball to record a win. He then closed the series out with a complete game to earn his team their first championship. He went on to win Game 5 of the 1973 World Series.
The last Met to don the number 36 was manager Mickey Callaway, who announced that he would be taking number 26 following the announcement. The team has not yet divulged any details on a possible date for the ceremony, but Jeff Wilpon did add that the organization has "a plan to catch up" when addressing the organization's lack of retired numbers. The organization will surely retire David Wright's number 5 at one point, but Keith Hernandez (17) and Gary Carter (8) are players who may receive consideration, among others.

Q. What is the avent about?


Brandon Jennings leans back in his office chair, surrounded by neat piles of shoeboxes and photos of the biggest moments of his young career, facing a whiteboard loaded with motivational sayings like, "How Bad Do You Want 2 Be Great?" and "think about how many of our fears come from how we think other people will perceive us."
Jennings has never worried about people's perception of him. As a top-ranked teenager, he set the basketball world on fire, then fanned the flame by playing overseas; and now, as the first basketball player signed by Under Armour, he's prepared to put the NBA on notice: everything he does, he does on his own terms.
Wearing a shirt that says "Don't Hate Me" on the front and "Hate My Game" on the back, Jennings thinks about what makes him different. "I like to be first and I like to be a trendsetter," he says. "I just do things in my own lane."
The journey for Jennings started in a single-parent home in Compton, Calif. "We had what we had," he says. "My mother did what's best for me and my brother; she sacrificed for the two of us." That enabled Jennings to pursue basketball. When he was only 13, he led the Rancho All-Stars to the AAU national championship game. "That was the first time I felt like I was the best player on the court," says Jennings. "We won the whole thing. I came out of that being one of the top players in the country."
After playing for Dominguez High in Compton as a freshman and sophomore, Jennings transferred to the prestigious Oak Hill Academy (Va.) for his junior and senior seasons. "It's a school that plays on the national level," he says. "You play against the best competition every year." As a junior, Jennings led Oak Hill to a 40-1 record and the USA Today National Championship.
At Oak Hill, Jennings started to define his work ethic. "It was not odd to see Brandon heading to the gym to work out on his own at 6 a.m. most weekday mornings," says Oak Hill head coach Steve Smith. In February of Jennings' junior year, Smith witnessed a defining moment. Oak Hill was down by two points against Concord (N.C.) with six seconds left, no timeouts and Concord on the line for a one-and-one. When the first shot clanged off the rim, Jennings grabbed the rebound, dribbled the length of the court and pulled up for a jumper from 25 feet away.
"He drilled it as time expired, a threepointer to basically save our season," says Smith. "It was a big-time shot by a big-time player. He wanted the ball in his hands. I knew from that moment on how special a player he was going to be."
In his senior year, Oak Hill started Jennings along with two sophomores and two juniors. "For us to win, Brandon had to be a scoring point guard," says Smith. Although he was preceded by famous Oak Hill alumni like Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo and Josh Smith, Jennings holds the school records for most points in a season (1,312), highest scoring average in a season (35.5), and most points scored in a single game (63). He set all three as a senior. Oak Hill finished 34-4, ranked #3 nationally.
"Me and Coach Smith always go back and forth about who was the best player to ever come out of Oak Hill," says Jennings. "Of course, I think I am. It's all on paper. And the numbers don't lie."
When it came time to pick a college, Jennings faced the reality of the NBA age limit. You can't enter the draft until you turn 19 or a full NBA season has elapsed since you graduated from high school.
Jennings had made his mark on the national scene with both his skill-set and his personal style. Not only was he one of the highest-ranked high school players in the country, he was also getting noticed because of his hair—like the '80s-era high-top fade he wore at the McDonald's All American game, or the slanty Gumby cut he sported at the Jordan Classic. There was already something rare about Jennings, something beyond stats and success. But his next decision set him apart from his peers more distinctly than any haircut possibly could.
Jennings was the first player to play ball professionally overseas rather than go to college, signing a deal with Lottomatica Virtus Roma of Italy instead of attending the University of Arizona. And he also signed with Under Armour, becoming the first basketball player to endorse the UA brand.
At the age of 18, Jennings found himself playing against men twice his age. Although his amateur career had been full of highlights, in Italy he was more of a role player, averaging only 5.5 points, two rebounds and two assists per game. Still, the experience helped him grow as a basketball player and as a man. "It's all about winning," he says. "At the end of the day, it's not all about one player."
Out of his element, Jennings nevertheless adjusted to the European mentality. "It's just a different lifestyle," he says. "On the road, you had a roommate. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together. We traveled together. We traveled commercial. Sometimes, we might take a bus ride. You have to bring your own shoes to the game. So, it's a totally different thing from the NBA."
Entering the 2009 NBA Draft, Jennings was selected 11th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks—the next milestone in his journey. At 6'1" and 160 something pounds, the rookie point guard showed his scoring talent early. In the seventh game of the season, he dropped 55 points on the Golden State Warriors, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 50 in a game, despite the fact that he was shut out in the first quarter.
From Oak Hill to the NBA, Jennings always had elite talent. But after two up and down seasons, and faced with the NBA lockout, he decided this past summer to devote himself to training at the Under Armour campus.
You might think this was a PR ploy to raise his profile during the lockout, but it was not. Jennings is the one who reached out to UA.
As he pushes himself through a set of Explosive Push-Ups on an upsidedown Bosu, Jennings hits the last rep with the same form he displayed in the first. He gets a slap on the back from his trainer Nate Costa, co-founder and owner of FX Studios, Under Armour's official training partner. "You're an animal today, man," says Costa. But Jennings was an animal all summer, with Costa putting him through workouts Monday through Friday.
UA gave Jennings more than free access to the gym. They also set him up in an office and granted him a title—"Curator of Cool." In addition to training, he worked on developing his line of signature shoes, the Micro G Bloodline. "The new shoe is actually a story about my life, where I've been," he says. Different colorways, like the ones for Roma and Oak Hill, commemorate the various stops on his journey.
At Under Armour, Jennings packed on 15 pounds in the gym and came to work every day to learn the business of performance apparel and footwear. In the gym, Costa watched film of Jennings to identify his imbalances and adjust his program to suit his needs. Jennings is a lefty, and that side of his body was more dominant. "On the court, he's got speed," says Costa. "Everything we do here is trying to translate into a solid foundation without losing his quickness."
Costa prescribed a flexible program, which minimizes the importance of rep ranges. "I try to get their mind into form and away from numbers," he says. "On day two, I had to give him the 'trust me on this.' By the second week, we were doing chest bumps."
STACK watched Jennings perform a workout that incorporated combination lifts like the TRX Squat Row, DB Push-Up, Row, Reach Press and Squat with Overhead Reach. Rest periods were short, and most exercises were performed only once.
The non-stop, gut-check nature of the workout was meant to prepare Jennings to be strong throughout an entire NBA game. "His mindset has been mind-blowing to me," says Costa. "He's hands-down one of the hardest working individuals I've ever worked with." Sure, Jennings had trained seriously before. But nothing like this. "I used to lift weights when I was in high school," he says, "but I never went this hard, ever."
In addition to grinding out workouts and developing footwear ideas in Baltimore, Jennings spent the summer traveling around the country looking for games. Video of his run at a Dyckman League game in Washington Heights (N.Y.) went viral after Jennings crossed up his defender, bounced the ball off his face and exploded for a lefty layup.
"I've been all over just hooping, just playing," he says. "D.C. is only a 45- minute drive from here. I might go down there and play two games and then come back. When I'm in New York, I might pack a bag or two for a couple days and just show up."
Jennings was a regular in games between the L.A.-based Drew League and the D.C.-based Goodman League, and mixtapes of his highlights blew up on YouTube. In early July, he dropped 51 in a Goodman League game. A week later, he tore the roof off the Melo Center in Baltimore after connecting on an alley-oop off the backboard and finishing with a two-handed dunk. In early August, he laced up a new pair of Micro G Bloodlines and got in a run at the NC Pro-Am.
For Jennings, playing is more about the love of the game than a desire to be great. "It's just proving I can hoop with the best of the best," he says. Of all the places he put it down this summer, Jennings' favorite was Dyckman. "There were maybe 70 people following me down the court while I was dribbling," he says. "Literally, they were on the court while I was getting ready to make my move." Experience in hostile environments should help him once he suits up again for the Bucks. "I guess you could say I'm working on playing on the road," he says.
No matter where he played, Jennings celebrated big plays by hitting a double biceps flex pose, a nod to all his hard work at UA. The training, it seems, is paying off. "I'm dunking more now," he says. "I feel stronger when I'm going to the hoop. And I'm in shape. Once I'm on the court, I never get tired."
Jennings is always looking for the next challenge, the next place to distinguish himself. He's never been gassed up enough to think he's arrived—not when he was backstage at a Rick Ross concert last summer; not when he scored 55 in his seventh NBA game; and not even now that Under Armour has built UA Basketball around him. The company has signed rookies Kemba Walker and Derrick Williams, two of the top 10 picks in the 2011 NBA Draft. But Jennings has a chance to be the face of the brand.
"None of the hype, none of the rankings or anything that they say really matters," says Jennings. After Oak Hill, Italy, Baltimore and Milwaukee, Jennings is ready for whatever comes next. "Nobody cares that you were this top player in high school basketball. All that matters is what you do now."
Costa hardly ever gave Jennings a rep range for an exercise, and workouts weren't centered on body parts. Sessions had four areas of focus: strength, power, endurance and balance. Costa's training philosophy is grounded in having athletes maintain proper form and mechanics, rather than counting reps. Most exercises were performed only once. "Most people want to go into it saying 'all right, how many do I have to do?' I try and switch that mindset," says Costa. "Depending on the weight, depending on the day, sometime I'll have him do six reps of something. Sometimes I'll have him do 26." Each muscle group is trained with single sets of different exercises.
Coaching Points: Do not allow hips to sag in T position // Perform all reps in slow, controlled fashion.

NEC Puts FASTER Cable System into Operation
Fiber July 1, 2016 Leave a comment
Japan based NEC Corporation has completed the 'FASTER' submarine fiber optic cable system and put it into service on June 30. The cable system owned by a consortium of six major international companies was tested for end-to-end reliability and transmission by NEC before the start of operation. The new trans-Pacific submarine cable system spans 9,000 kilometers.
The FASTER Cable system lands in Oregon in the United States and two landing points in Japan, namely Chiba and Mie prefectures. The submarine cable has extended connections to major hubs on the West Coast of the U.S. covering Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland and Seattle. The two landing points in Japan facilitate the cable's easy access to major cities in Japan. FASTER's robust and resilient connectivity to many neighboring cable systems extends the cable's capacity beyond Japan to other Asian locations.
A press release from NEC says, FASTER is the first trans-Pacific submarine cable system designed to support digital coherent transmission technology, using optimized fibers throughout the submarine portion. The combination of extremely low loss fiber, without a dispersion compensation section, and the latest digital signal processor, which compensates for the huge amount of cumulative dispersion at the end of the cable, enable this six-fiber pair cable to deliver 60 Terabits per second (Tbps) of bandwidth across the Pacific.
FASTER was the first trans-Pacific submarine cable built solely by NEC Corporation, employing the latest 100Gbps digital coherent optical transmission technology. This new submarine fiber cable will not only bring benefits to the United States and Japan, but to the entire Asia-Pacific region. Construction of the system was announced in August 2014 by the FASTER consortium, consisting of China Mobile International, China Telecom Global, Global Transit, Google, KDDI and Singtel.

Q: How would I use the M.E.A.N. Stack with a Python script backend where the python script is in a container? So I am in the process of writing a web app with the full M.E.A.N. stack and know how to work with both the front end and the back end.  My only problem is incorporating things outside of M.E.A.N.  As an example, I am going to be running a Python script as the algorithmic back end for the web app (mainly due to necessity of specific libraries) where that Python script will be inside of a docker container.  What would be the most optimal way to connect to and run said Python code through M.E.A.N.?

A: Getting started with the MEAN stack might seem very daunting at first. You might think that there is too much new technology to learn.  The truth is that you really only need to know "Javascript." That's right, MEAN is simply a javascript web development stack.
So, how do you actually get started developing on the MEAN stack?
The first step is to set up a project structure. I've found the following structure to make the most sense:
controllers/ db/ package.json server.js public/
This structure lets you keep the entire stack in a single project. Your AngularJS front end can go into the public folder while all your Express API logic goes into controller and your MongoDB collections and logic go into the db folder.
Now that you've set up a general project structure, you need to initialize your public folder as  an Angular project. It is best to do this using a tool called Yeoman.
Yeoman is a toolkit that makes it easy for you to get started with a variety of Javascript frameworks and other web frameworks like Bootstrap and foundation. You can learn more about Yeoman at Yeoman.io.
You can read more about the M.E.A.N. stack here and how to get started: http://www.citizentekk.com/mean-stack-tutorial-how-to-build-loosely-coupled-scalable-web-apps-nodejs-angularjs-applications/

Controlled ingestion of peanut protein could help build tolerance in peanut allergy sufferers. Authors of a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine say an oral immunotherapy drug they tested could be the first FDA-approved medication of its kind for people with peanut allergy. The medication, called AR101, is derived from peanut protein.
According to the study, oral immunotherapy for peanut allergy has been recommended against in most clinical settings because past trials have been limited by small sample sizes and differing methodologies. The PALISADE trial has shown, however, that oral immunotherapy is a reasonable treatment option. Participants of the PALISADE trial were instructed to continue the standard of care for peanut allergy, which meant eliminating peanuts from their diets and carrying self-injectable epinephrine (an emergency medical treatment for accidental exposure).


With the latest Jaunty update, I noticed that when closing the lid the computer was not going into suspend.
I went to System -> Preferences -> Power Management, and my surprise was that there I couldn't find any 'when laptop lid is closed' option, nor 'on battery power' tab.
2 click on the icon in the panel, and then those options came back!!
There I selected again that, on close lid, have the computer go to suspend.
I don't know why the latest update just deleted my power settings.
Update: the day after, after resuming the laptop, going to System -> Preferences -> Power Management showed again the missing options. Weird, isn't it?
Why there weren't there the day before? Did my actions really solved the issue or there was something else?
Who knows, but suspend / resume is back to normal and working great!!


On Thursday 5 May the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) unveiled plans for the opening of the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour in Kingston. At a special fund raising dinner at Toronto's Sutton Place Hotel, Paul HENDERSON (CAN), ISAF President from 1994-2004, was named the first inductee to the Hall of Fame at a sold-out event attended by His Majesty King Constantine.
His Majesty King Constantine II, former King of Greece and ISAF President of Honour, is an Olympic gold medallist in sailing having won in the Dragon in 1960. The formal dinner was attended by many other distinguished people from the yachting community including current and past Canadian Sailing Team members and many of the CYA's most important business partners, among them Annette WILDGOOSE of Sport Canada and Victor ROYCE of ROLEX. Also joining His Majesty to celebrate the occasion were Derek HATFIELD, Janet BAXTER from US Sailing, Tim IRWIN of CORK, Doreen HINKSMAN from Canadian Power Squadron, Jane PITFIELD from the City of Toronto, and Paul PHELAN Jnr, a generous supporter of many elite Canadian athletes.
In addition to the honour bestowed upon Paul HENDERSON, who also recently received the ISAF Beppe Croce Trophy, it was also announced that all past Canadian Olympic medal winners and all past Canadian World Champions of Olympic and Paralympic class boats would be among the first inductees into the Hall of Fame. Olympic medallists Hans FOGH and John KERR along with World Champions Bill ABBOTT and Joanne ABBOTT were present at the event.
Proceeds from the dinner will go to support the Canadian Sailing Team and plans for formal induction ceremonies in Kingston are now underway.

Migrant workers hit by Thailand's iron fist
By Korea Herald
Published : Jun 19, 2014 - 20:49
Updated : Jun 19, 2014 - 20:49
Seizing power was the easy part; the everyday task of running the country is proving far more difficult for the Thai military. Chief among those difficulties is management of the workforce, which the junta must now realize is not primarily a security issue.
Pictures emerging last week of Cambodian workers fleeing the Kingdom are a worrying development. Cambodians searching for work have of course flowed back and forth over the border for years, but the Thai junta's declaration that it would "manage" illegal migrant workers has prompted an unprecedented exodus.
Last Tuesday, the junta announced its 59th order, setting up a committee chaired by Gen. Tanasak Patimapragorn, chief of the Defense Forces and deputy leader of the National Council for Peace and Order, to oversee management of migrant workers.
The order sparked reports on the social media of a crackdown on foreign laborers in the Kingdom. The reports and pictures of fleeing migrants were branded "rumors" by the authorities, but they spread like wildfire through Thailand's migrant-worker community, causing fear and panic among both "legal" and "illegal" workers. Many rushed for the border and the safety of their homeland.
Thailand is second home to more than two million migrant workers, most of them from neighboring countries. The greatest number come from Myanmar, followed by Cambodia and Laos, according to the Labor Ministry. Thailand also sees a considerable number of illegal migrants from other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, but authorities tend to turn a blind eye to them.
The foreign workers are much in demand. They are crucial to business, forming a major segment of the workforce for industry, agriculture and trade and service sectors. Households want them for chores and taking care of children, while restaurateurs employ them for their fluent, if accented, Thai. They have been a familiar part of life in Thailand for decades, crucial to the smooth running of the economy. They represent a threat to neither security nor peace. Of course, a few commit crimes, but no more than our own citizens.
However, our security forces ― notably the military ― have always considered migrants to be potential troublemakers. Military leaders see them "stealing" jobs from Thais, even though most Thais spurn the menial jobs in question. Some generals even worry that some of the foreigners could be spying on Thailand for their countries. Meanwhile an ultraconservative elite has paranoid visions that "alien" workers could eventually assimilate into Thai society and come to dominate. (This group prefers, conveniently, to forget its own multiracial ancestry.)
There is nothing wrong with deciding to regulate migrant workers, but formulating such a policy under military rule with an agency headed by the top brass sends the wrong signal.
The authorities have been dealing with this matter for decades and come up with many different methods to handle it. Thailand has a memorandum of understanding with Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar to recruit and regulate these workers. Registration and nationality-verification processes are ongoing. Intervention by the military junta was unnecessary. The Labor Ministry might be far from perfect, but it has pre-existing instruments and mechanisms to handle the job.
Managing migrant workers is a complex task that must take into account both supply-and-demand economics and human rights. Thailand already suffers a poor reputation over its efforts to combat human trafficking. An immigration policy that places too much emphasis on security concerns creates more problems than solutions.

Ashish Nehra may have hung up his boots from cricket but his love for the game couldn't keep him away from it for too long. Just a few days after his retirement, he makes a comeback and this time, in the commentary box.
The former pacer will be joining the likes of Virender Sehwag for the Hindi commentary panel from the first Test between India and Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the series, announced the news on Twitter with a video of Nehra's interview with Sehwag in his final match where the duo discussed the pacer's plans after retirement. Nehra mentioned that there are several ways in which he could stay connected with the game and commentary was one of them.
It will be a treat for the fans to hear the duo together in the language that they both express themselves the best in. Sehwag is known for his witty comments and so is Ashish Nehra and hence, it will be like a cherry on the top while enjoying the cricketing action.
Nehra had recently called it quits from the game after making his last appearance for the men in blue in the 1st T20I against New Zealand. After he was picked in the T20I squad, he had expressed his desire to retire on his home ground of the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi. The selectors agreed to his wish and the Indian team gave him a grand farewell to mark the end of an 18-year-old career in the game.

Monitoring Control
November 19, 2021–January 31, 2022
FMAV Palazzina dei Giardini
Corso Cavour 2
FMAV Fondazione Modena Arti Visive presents, starting on November 19, 2021, Monitoring Control, an exhibition by Paolo Cirio curated by Marco Scotini, which will be on display in the Palazzina dei Giardini (Corso Cavour 2, Modena, Italy) exhibition venue until January 31, 2022. The exhibition opening will be on Friday, November 19 from 6–8 pm.
In addition to gathering a wide and cohesive selection of works produced by the artist in the last ten years in a single exhibition, the show opens with a large installation entitled Iris, made for the occasion.
One of the most attentive artistic investigators of the effects of computerized society, for around 20 years Paolo Cirio has been closely surveying the relations between the infosphere and the space of global capitalism, which have come together in what he has recently defined as "Evidentiary Realism." While Paul Virilio was upholding the derealization of the world by way of the new media, had Hal Foster since the 1990s not already been announcing the return of the real? Through a series of important works (eight of which are on show), Cirio has sought to give visual form to all those forces controlling and capturing our existences (in a pervasive and violent way), which avoid normal perception and remain carefully hidden despite operating in the light of day. As such, realism means overcoming the opaqueness that makes up the contemporary (financial, social and legal) world. Not only by unmasking what is apparent but also by modelling what remains buried.
Hence, the exhibition title Monitoring Control alludes to a dual form of monitoring: the one exercised by power and, vice versa, the one that the social subjectivities can exercise on the forms of control by becoming aware of the phenomenon and striking out against it. Taking this point of view, Monitoring Control is a sequence displaying the sabotage of various forms of security and surveillance, which opens and closes with a large tower located in the historic octagonal vestibule of Palazzina dei Giardini. Making a direct allusion to the Panopticon control tower, the structure is put in a central position and instead of the guard, the artist has mounted eight photographs of different coloured irises forming a large octagonal crown.
Through the Iris project, Paolo Cirio intends to symbolically defile the control device by proposing "contact lenses" of the future that can upset the identification process and potentially make the monitored subject change identity. Overturning the asymmetry between visual regimes (typical of the Panopticon) like this could emancipate us from its control and allow us to monitor it.
Sabotaging the urban capture of anonymous individuals by Google Street View, unlawfully taking over Facebook profiles, making incursions into mug shot websites to black out the faces of those exposed as criminals or, in contrast, creating online databases to enable the identification of French police officers. These are just some of the tactics implemented by Paolo Cirio, artist, hacker and activist, who never stops his work of desecration.

Post-Capital: A Reader
30 October 2021 in Books Comment
"If industrial civilization flourished at the expense of nature and threatens to cost us Earth, an information civilization shaped by surveillance capitalism will thrive at the expense of human nature and threatens to cost us humanity." —Shoshana Zuboff
Post-Capital: A Reader is published as both a reader and a catalogue accompanying the exhibition Post-Capital: Art and the Economics of the Digital Age, curated by Michelle Cotton at Mudam Luxembourg. This richly illustrated volume documents works of sculpture, painting, photography, video, and performance by more than twenty artists from different parts of the world, all addressing production, consumption, and wealth. The images cohabit with excerpts from longer texts by some of today's most influential thinkers on the subject of our digital age, its consequences concerning human freedoms, and the largely invisible dynamics that are driving an evolving and unequal world order.
Edited by Michelle Cotton
Texts by Sarah Beaumont, James Bridle, Michelle Cotton, Heike Geissler, Clémentine Proby, Richard Seymour, Chloe Stead, Hito Steyerl, Joel Valabrega, McKenzie Wark, Lauren Wetmore, Shoshana Zuboff

The Raging Bull carefully selected the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to unveil the fierce new 2016 Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce roadster. The release came on the heels of much teasing and detail touting—and the crowds were certainly pleased with the machine.
The Aventador LP750-4 SV is but the latest example of the powerful line, but she happens to have the bragging rights to being the first-ever Superveloce model with a convertible lid. That marks a first in a history spanning over 52 years of Lamborghini SV offerings—making it a bit of a big deal. Perhaps purchasers should be treated to a complimentary tee bearing the much-loved phrase: "I'm kind of a big deal"?
Onto the most important stuff: She is brimming with the expected Lamborghini power via a healthy 6.5-liter V12 engine pushing forth 750 horses from the stable. Most already knew the horsepower based purely on the use of the LP 750 in the name—because this is a brand that prefers to shout it out rather than leave it to the masses to just take a stab at it.
Performance times are as follows: The not to 60 mile per hour sprint is achieved in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of over 217 miles per hour. This is under the typical 3-second figure, indicating that it has been improved for the pavement rather than just the curb appeal.
