J.J. Watt – HECTORSITO – Web Designer / Graphic Designer & Diver!
J.J. Watt's humanitarian efforts know no bounds.
The Houston Texans' star defensive end is willing to pay funeral expenses for the 10 people killed in Friday morning's mass shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas.
After Hurricane Harvey devastated the Houston area, Watt utilized social media to raise more than $37 million for people impacted by the disaster. It all started with a video posted on social media of Watt announcing a fundraising campaign with a goal of $200,000. Watt said that he would match the first $100,000. It took less than three weeks to raise more than $37 million.
Edmunds will eventually take over at safety, but defensive coordinator Keith Butler will rely on Burnett's experience in the meantime.
The No. 2 defense in the league could potentially have another versatile playmaker in defensive tackle Taven Bryan. Here's a short-term projection that may not seem obvious now, but expect the Florida product to start in 2019.
The Jacksonville Jaguars will squeeze one more year out of Marcell Dareus then release him next offseason. Why? He carries an $11.6 million cap hit for the 2019 campaign but doesn't hold dead money for the final three years on his deal, per Spotrac. The front office can cut him and recoup the cash. The same concept applies to Abry Jones at $4 million next year. Taven presents a cheaper alternative.
You can check all the boxes with Penny. Highly productive collegiate ball-carrier, smooth receiver and developing pass-protection skills. The Seahawks coaching staff clearly sees him as a starter. Based on his early preparation, we should follow suit.

Scandal in Shanghai
Why Zhou Zhengyi's troubles continue to make China's new capitalist elite nervous
Aug 21st 2003 |
ONE of Zhou Zhengyi's mistakes may have been that he chose to flaunt his wealth. After the Forbes list of China's 100 richest people placed him a mere 94th two years ago, the flamboyant property developer complained that he should have been higher. Last year he was 11th and revelled in the media-bestowed sobriquet of richest man in Shanghai, though he probably wasn't. Mr Zhou had a collection of sports cars to match his ego and delighted scandal-hungry newspapers in Hong Kong, where he controlled two listed firms, with his sexual affairs.
Now Mr Zhou, 42, is being investigated for business irregularities. According to the Chinese press, he is suspected of illegally acquiring state land and bank loans. The question is, why Mr Zhou? China's business culture sets far more store on personal connections than it does on laws and regulations. If they wanted to, China's authorities could probably find grounds for accusing most of the country's richest people of bending (if not breaking) the rules. But China's legal culture thrives on the principle of "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys". Mr Zhou, valued by Forbes last year at $320m, was a conspicuous potential chicken.
The secretive handling of the case suggests that politics is at play too. Soon after Mr Zhou's arrest in late May, the official media were ordered to say no more about the affair. The government is partly worried about giving the country's financial capital a bad reputation among foreign investors. But the worry also is that investigations of land dealings on the scale of Mr Zhou's might expose high-level corruption in the city, possibly implicating protégés of China's former president, Jiang Zemin, who still chairs the powerful military commission and has close ties with Shanghai. Mr Jiang's political rivals—notably China's new leadership team of President Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, the prime minister—might relish an opportunity to discomfort Mr Jiang. Perhaps they chose to make an example of Mr Zhou.
The gag order on the press has not been entirely effective. At least two magazines have published cover stories on Mr Zhou, whose rags-to-riches story and precipitate downfall provide salacious reading. That is a key consideration for China's increasingly market-oriented media, which are now gunning for many of China's super-rich. The Forbes rich list that Mr Zhou sought to climb has been dubbed a "death list" because several on it have been arrested on charges ranging from fraud to tax evasion.
China Daily, an official paper, says that Mr Zhou's case and the sentencing in July of another Chinese tycoon, Yang Bin, to 18 years in jail for commercial crimes has put the integrity of China's nouveaux riches under "increasing scrutiny." Another official paper says that banks have become even more reluctant to lend to private firms and that the approval process for public listings by such firms will become even tougher.
Ironically, it is precisely the difficulty of getting bank loans and listings (a legacy of communist prejudice against the private sector) that fosters a gambling instinct and creative approach to the law among ambitious Chinese entrepreneurs. Mr Zhou's path to riches is one that many on the rich list would find familiar. Ten years ago the high-school dropout was running a restaurant and trading building materials in Shanghai. But, according to China's media, it was playing the infant stock markets and trading in copper futures that brought Mr Zhou the biggest returns and enabled him to move into the property business.
Capitalism the Chinese way
Property deals feature in many of China's biggest recent scandals. The government owns all land in China, which creates opportunities for corruption when usage rights are sold to developers. This year Shanghai began requiring that commercial land-use rights be sold by public auction. But deals are still often made with whichever developer offers the biggest kickbacks. Mr Zhou obtained land cheaply by offering to pay for the resettlement of residents. This year residents of a plot he acquired in the city centre complained they had not been given enough cash to buy new homes. Fearful that such grievances could strike a chord with many in the city and trigger unrest, in June the Shanghai authorities arrested, of all people, the lawyer representing the residents, accusing him of stealing secrets.
Corruption also pervades China's banking system. Since Mr Zhou's detention, China's central bank has tried to restrict lending to luxury development projects, reiterating often ignored rules that developers can borrow no more than 70% of building costs or 70% of the price of land-use rights. One aim is to deflate an alarming property bubble that is developing in some cities. But the government is also anxious to limit the poorly secured loans that have helped to enrich many of China's developers.
A senior Chinese banker originally implicated in Mr Zhou's case, Liu Jinbao, who headed the Bank of China's Hong Kong branch, has reportedly been cleared of making an improper loan to Mr Zhou's unlisted holding company in Hong Kong, New Nongkai Global Investments. The $227m facility enabled Mr Zhou to buy 75% of a Hong Kong-listed investment company whose name he changed to Shanghai Land Holdings. Mr Zhou used this firm to buy some of his Shanghai properties. The general manager of the Bank of China's Shanghai branch was dismissed last month for making a "huge amount of troublesome loans" to another Shanghai developer, Qian Yongwei. Mr Qian was detained on May 26th, the same day as Mr Zhou. Formal charges have yet to be made against either of the businessmen.
What does this all mean for China's new rich? Rupert Hoogewerf, the Shanghai-based compiler of the rich list, says some entrepreneurs in the city feel that Mr Zhou's detention was unfair, that he was caught even though "a lot of people have been doing similar things." Until the charges are made clear, he says, Mr Zhou's fellow tycoons are keeping a low profile.

Time to Lean Out?
Kara Miller and Oliver Lazarus
It doesn't always pay off to lean in. Credit: Dick Vos / Flickr Creative Commons
Maria Konnikova, writer at The New Yorker
The idea of getting women to "lean in" has gained major traction in the last year, following the publication of Sheryl Sandberg's best-selling book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. Sandberg calls on women to demand the same rights as men in the workforce - and to seek out challenges, promotions, and equal pay.
But while the advice might be a good idea, it is not practical, according to Maria Konnikova, a writer at The New Yorker. In fact, these demands might be detrimental. Konnikova, who details the consequences of Sandberg's mantra in her recent New Yorker article points to recent research suggesting that "leaning in" actually hurts a woman's professional aspirations.
"Aggression comes at a cost when you're female," says Konnikova. "When women try to negotiate too hard, when they are a little bit too aggressive and take the 'lean in' advice too much at face value, they risk having a huge backlash. Sometimes they would have been better off pursuing a more subtle strategy."
Konnikova argues that success stories like Sandberg's can be attributed to both skill and good fortune. But due to deeply-embedded gender inequality, these success stories are the exception, not the rule.
"I'm not trying to underestimate or undervalue [Sandberg's] skills, but luck always plays a huge part in it. She had good mentors; she was in the right places at the right times. And she got lucky that the people she was negotiating with accepted her negotiation, rather than pushing back. Whether or not we like it, these biases exist in the world. What worked for me might not work for you, because I got lucky and you might not," notes Konnikova.
While there have been major gains for women in the last century, she says that evidence suggests it's smarter to err on the side of caution when looking at the future of gender equality.
"From women not having the right to vote, we now have more subtle, more nuanced, more ambiguous biases. Are we ever going to see complete equality? I honestly don't know...So far, the only evidence we've had throughout history has been to the contrary."
To hear more of Konnikova's take on "leaning in" and the future of gender equality, listen to the full interview, above.

Musical duo Me Not You release introspective song ahead of debut album
Me Not You have just released their debut album, Already Gone via MNY Records last week. Our personal favourite was the introspective, 'Does Anybody Out There Care' track which was released only a week before. The hypnotic drumbeat paired with the brooding lyrics set the tone for dark notions. While not in our usual range of genres, we felt this one was simply too good not to share.
"Everything will happen in an instant
another wave will hit before you see it
and leave nothing true
for you to hold onto
except yourself"
The dream-pop duo were featured on Sound Labyrinth with 'I Should Know Better', another track from the full-length album. They commented, "No matter what your gender is, we'd recommend putting them onto your playlist as we can all relate to regrettable decisions." You can read the full feature here.
"Sometimes life feels like it's pulling you out into a riptide, and there's nothing you can do but just hold your breath and go with it. You come up for air only to be pulled back down again. 'Does Anybody Out There Care?' is about that moment when you realize it's pointless to struggle against the current… it's time to hold your breath and see where it takes you."

C++ has a long history–a history that started around 45 years ago, with the inception of C. The C language was invented by a man named Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in 1972.
C++ came about as a "subset" of the C language. It was developed in 1979 by a man named Bjarne Stroustrup, who also worked at Bell Labs.
The ISO is slated to ratify a fifth version this year, in 2017. They' call it….C++17. There are already plans for a sixth ratification in 2020.
C++ is a mid-level, object-oriented programming language. It's fast, commonly used, and can be fairly easy to learn–especially with the resources available these days.
It's used quite commonly to program video games, as well as other programs like Microsoft Office and Google Chrome.
This guide has assembled a collection of tutorial options, mostly for beginners–you're bound to find one you like!
Anyway, this is a completely free website that walks you through programming in C++. The site explicitly says that no prior programming experience is necessary.
When you visit the site, you'll find that there are 18 chapters to scroll through, many with 10 or more lessons. They appear to be in the middle of rearranging the order of some of the lessons, but that shouldn't pose too much of a problem.
You'll want to learn all of this at some point anyway. If you find a lesson isn't clicking, you can always skip it and go back.
The first chapter, "Chapter 0" is a full-blown introduction to more than just C++. There's a lesson for using the tutorials, a lesson titled "introduction to programming languages," a lesson on development, a lesson about common C++ problems, and more.
The database is extensive, which isn't surprising with a language as old as C++. It does seem well thought out, and there are ample examples to help you stay the course.
Derek Banas is a YouTuber who has a single tutorial video on C++ Programming. The idea is that he'll cover everything you need to know about C++ in a single, one hour and ten-minute video.
The convenience and expediency of "one video for everything" comes at a cost: Banas doesn't take any prisoners.
If you have no programming experience, this is not the video for you.
But, if you've had experience with C++ this video could be a great refresher–and you might even learn some new things on the way.
Complete beginners should stay away, those with some experience can give it a shot and see if they can keep up. He shows you the commands and quickly and simply explains why he's doing what he's doing, but there's no coddling.
It's less like Banas is holding your hand, and more like Banas is sounding his location by snapping his hands in a dark room. If you're familiar with the room(or C++) it will be a lot easier for you to track his location (or keep up with the tutorial).
The C++ tutorials over at Tutorials Point seems pretty solid. The syntax is a little wonky in spots, but not in a way that makes the text-based tutorials hard to understand.
It's a missing article here or there, or an inverted phrasing–the kinds of slipups that come with learning English as a second language, and getting pretty dang close to mastering it.
A neat feature involves the practice examples featured in the tutorials. There's a "Try It" option in the majority of the C++ example boxes. When you click on that, it brings up an in-browser window with the complete C++ code from the example on top and the executed code on the bottom.
You're able to delete the code in the top box and input the code from the example yourself. Then you can hit "execute" and the window will run your code, showing you whether or not you input the code correctly. It's convenient if you aren't trying to save or compile all of your completed examples.
This website has tutorials for getting started with C and C++. If you're brand new to C++, the author of the site recommends you buy his ebook, titled "Jumping into C++," as he claims it's a more complete tutorial guide than the free tutorial he provides online.
You might want to give the free tutorial a stab before you go dropping money on an ebook. Or go back and check out the LearnCPP tutorial at the beginning of this guide before tapping into the tutorial at Cprogramming.
Aside from covering different C++ topics, the site also has a "practice" section. You can solve practice problems and take quizzes to test your C++ programming knowledge.
The site's author also built a "resources" section. This has links to source code page, source code snippets page, C++ tips page, and even a "finding a job" page.
All in all, there's a healthy dose of information available here, and there are some resources outside of the standard tutorials to help you hone your C++ skills. As you become more familiar with C++, give this site a look.
Enrollment in this course is free. Despite the lack of a price tag, or maybe because of it, it received an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars (from 5,001 ratings). Over 75,800 students have enrolled in the history of this particular course.
The course assumes only basic computer knowledge. You do need to be computer literate, but you don't need to have programming experience.
The course creator, John Purcell, calls C++ a tricky language, so he encourages you to bring both your patience and persistence.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to develop C++ programs, and even apply to C++ jobs with some potential for success. No guarantees, but this course certainly won't hurt your chances.

Dori Freeman's Every Single Star
In the three years since her self-titled debut took the Americana world by surprise and garnered critical and popular acclaim, Dori Freeman has gone through a lot of changes. The songs on Dori Freeman mostly centered around the breakup she was going through at the time, leaving her facing life as a single mother in a small Appalachian town. In the meantime she has released more records, toured the U.S. and Europe, and made a much happier marriage (to drummer Nick Falk).
So it's little wonder that the 10 songs on Every Single Star (the second release on her own label Blue Hens Music after 2017's Letters Never Read) revolve around her feelings as a contented mother and spouse rather than a jilted lover. Which is not to say it's all sunshine and roses. Her tender solo ballad "I'll Be Coming Home" is a sadly sweet promise to her child – one that's made by countless musicians like her who have to take to the road to make a living or spend hours in a studio recording. And immediately on its heels comes the fast shuffle of "Like I Do," a sprightly and more upbeat song about maternal love. "That's How I Feel" is a jaunty love song about the delicious feeling of missing someone who you'll see again soon. "Another Time" is a gently rocking ode to a relationship that's both homey and professional, Falk's kickdrum sounding like a steady heartbeat as it sets the rhythm.
Freeman still finds plenty of time to meditate on the kind of sentiments more common in country music. The opening track (which she says was inspired by Linda Ronstadt) "All I Ever Wanted" finds her stating her longing for "a decent man to give a damn and try." And the album closes with "2 Step," a classic country-style duet with Teddy Thompson, who has produced all three of Freeman's releases and whose sweet tenor blends perfectly with her buttermilk-smooth alto. It's a duet worthy of Dolly and Porter or George and Tammy, with the two parties trying to figure out if they still love each other.
Scattered throughout are more standard country fare like "Darlin' Boy," the slow waltz-time ode to falling for a cute guy even though you know he's bad news; "Go On," a pop-friendly anthem that sounds like a conflicted ode to the off-and-on behavior of the father of her son; "You Lie There," in which the singer expresses frustration with a man who can't express his emotions; and the bitter end-of-love song "Walls Of Me And You."
Dori Freeman is amassing an impressive catalog of work as she grows into her professional career as a songwriter, recording artist and performer, as well as a mature adult navigating her way through the world. Every Single Star is yet another solid demonstration of how to turn the particulars of a life into songs with universal appeal. As she says in the album's press release, "I like to write about things I've been through because I know that pretty much every other woman has likely been through those same things."

Procyclical emerging market policy: New evidence


When undertaking an school search the question on many parents' minds is how do I find the right school for my child? Just as your child has a unique temperament, interests and abilities, every school has distinct attributes. The motivation to embark on a school search can be as straightforward as recognizing that the current school "fit" is not quite right for your child or your family. The simple truth is, some students flourish in smaller classroom settings or in a creative, less competitive atmosphere; others soar when presented with ever-more-challenging scholastic goals.
Trust your gut. No one knows your child's needs better than you. And when their learning environment is not serving them well…you know.
What do you feel is the most important outcome of schooling for your child and your family? We invest the time to learn much, much more, of course. But the answer to that question – along with building a strong, supportive connection with you – gives All Schools Consulting the key to identifying the school where your child can truly thrive.
A successful search involves collaboration with the entire family. That's why we place such importance on getting to know parents or guardians, the student and their siblings.
We have great respect for children's thoughts and feelings. As the individual at the center of the school search, giving the student a voice is empowering – when posed the right questions, even a child of kindergarten age can give us a clear picture of what motivates them.
While we work hand in hand with local schools, every effort we make is on behalf of your students and family. We do not accept commissions for placements or referrals, nor does any school, program or organization receive any form of compensation from All Schools Consulting.


Dudhsagar Falls translates to 'The Sea of Milk' in English, with a mighty fall of 1,020 feet; these falls are a sight to watch evoking awe and excitement alike. Dudhsagar is a 4-tiered waterfall located on the Mandovi River near Goa – Karnataka border. We covered Dudhsagar Falls on Day 2 of our recent Goa trip (Oct'17).
The falls are located inside a Wildlife Sanctuary and hence governed by the Forest Department, the access is a bit difficult but worth the effort. Dudhsagar has a mighty fall, and the arc sort of design as seen in pictures is actually a railway track, there's a Bollywood movie shot here too (remember Chennai Express!) ; however the train has been discontinued lately.
Currently, the only way to reach the falls is by booking the 'Jeep Safari' which costs INR 400 +INR 30 for life jacket +INR 50 forest department fee, comes around INR 480. The Jeep will take you on a bumpy ride of 10 -12 km and finally once you reach the falls, you'll have 1.30 hours to enjoy. Photography is allowed but carrying a camera and managing it (particularly DSLR) is a bit difficult.
The way that leads to falls is beautiful, risky though, especially if you have a Kid / Backpack. It's preferable to wear Floaters or Sandals.
There is a place where one can enjoy light swimming at the foot of the falls. One has to be careful all the time as there are rocks beneath water.
There was a train earlier which used to go till the Falls, but now it has been discontinued.
You might encounter the local villagers claiming that they will take you on a trek till the top of the waterfall and charge only INR 1,000 but please do not fall prey to such claims; the area is not safe due to thick forest, presence of wild animals and steep water cliff. Moreover, if anything goes wrong, they will not take any responsibility.
Since, we had our bike; we traveled the distance in 2 hours from South Goa to Dudhsagar Falls. However, for someone coming from North Goa this might take 3.30 – 4 hours of travel from one side, so plan accordingly.
During monsoons and heavy rains, the falls are closed to avoid casualties.
It may positively impact brain development!!
Who doesn't like vacations? We all do!! But how many times we put it off because of other priorities? How many times the 'quality time' is substituted by the coolest toy available in the market?
Well, you might want to rethink your family vacations after considering Dr.Jaak Panksepp's findings.
Go for a Road Trip!!
What is the best way of learning in life? Experience, right? Then why should we deny our kids to have that. I was intrigued by this research and found it interesting to share.
When you travel with your family or in simpler terms go on a Family Vacation, the time spent together is invaluable to kids as it lays down the base for positive affective memory process.
Us, right in front of entrance of Tabo village in Spiti Valley. This is a capture shared from our 11 days long road trip from New Delhi to Spiti Valley and back, Aayansh was just about 11 months old at that time.
According to the Panksepp's research, the PLAY system and the SEEKING system are areas of the brain that are exercised best when kids are exposed to new surroundings. Kids, have strong urges for physical play (running, chasing, pouncing and wrestling); these aggressive assertive actions rarely get triggered when kids are at home or left alone with their toys.

Q: How to assign integer into function called by pthread_create? Given the following code :
void* actThread(int acc)
{
.
.
.
}
int err;
err = pthread_create(&ntid, NULL, actThread,  &connfd);

how do i pass the connfd integer into the function actThread. each way I try I get errors

A: You can do following:
void* actThread(void* accp)
{
   int acc = (int)accp;
.
.
.
}
int connfd;
int err;
err = pthread_create(&ntid, NULL, actThread,  (void*)connfd);

But, as I assume you have no idea what are you doing, try to learn something about pointers before applying this.
I can recommend you this question for beginning: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4016765/tutorial-on-c-pointers

A: Usually a thread created by phtread_create has type void* function (void*). A void pointer can point to any kind of instance thus also a integer. Take the next example it shows how to increment an integer asynchronously.
void* increment (void * pointer_to_int)
{
    int* number = (int*) pointer_to_int;
    (*number)++;
    return number;
}

then you might call the thread like this:
pthread_t t;
int *no_answer = malloc(sizeof(int));
//check if you get an int
*no_answer = 41;

pthread_create(&t, NULL, increment, (void*)no_answer);
pthread_join(t, NULL);
printf("The answer is %d\n", *no_answer);
free(no_answer);

you first allocate an int and put it to a certain value the above increments it in the thread. you might even get the return value with pthread_join, however it would be a bit redundant in this code.
EDIT the code outputs The answer is 42

Cedar is one of the most popular and beautiful softwoods on the market, with a history of usage here in the United States that goes all the way back to the colonial era in New England. Naturally weather resistant, cedar was used by settlers for making shingles and siding for their homes. Today, it is still used for these applications, along with other outdoor uses. Of all the woods, it is one of the few that holds up well to rain and other weather, without decaying.
The aromatic quality of cedar comes from the natural oils within the wood. These same oils make the wood unattractive to wood-eating insects and moths. For this reason, and the appealing fragrance of the wood, cedar has been a favorite for centuries for closet lining, chests and other places where clothing is stored. Wool eating moths, which destroy clothing, will avoid any clothing that is in close proximity of cedar. While chemicals can provide the same insect repellent feature to other woods, Cedar has it naturally.
Among the softwood species, cedar is one of the easiest to work with. It is extremely stable dimensionally, rarely cracking, splitting, warping or twisting. This stability comes from the extremely low density of the wood. The less dense a wood is, the less it is going to be affected by moisture. Although lightweight and not dense, Cedar still has 80% of the structural strength of Oak. The straight grain, with few knotholes makes it machine well, and insures the durability of whatever is made from it.
There are two primary types of cedar used for plywood in the United States, Aromatic Red Cedar and Western Red Cedar. Aromatic Red Cedar is what is most commonly used for dressers, chests and closet lining, while Western Red Cedar is more commonly used for exterior siding, window frames, and exterior furniture.
The distinctive grain pattern of Cedar plywood, with the red and white bands comes from the difference in heartwood and sapwood. Cedar sapwood is whitish-cream in color, and the heartwood can range from salmon pink to chocolate brown. The distinctive color banding that Cedar is known for is not normally visible in plywood, because of the manner in which plywood is manufactured, starting with cutting veneer from the log. This veneer is typically rotary cut, which means that it is cut around the log, like unrolling a roll of paper towels, leaving a veneer is either white or red.
Cedar plywood comes in a number of thicknesses, from 1/8" thick to 3/4" thick, by eights; making it easy to encounter the exact thickness you need for your application. Paneling of closets is often accomplished with thinner plywood; drawer sides and bottoms are made from the mid thicknesses and carcass (dresser cabinets) sides and tops are made from thicker plywood.
Due to its dimensional stability, fine texture and narrow growth bands, Cedar is considered to have the best finish-retention properties of the softwood species. The lack of resins and pitch within the wood also contribute to its ability to readily accept a wide variety of stains and finishes.

Jerod Mayo patrolled the middle of the New England defense like a hard-hitting furnace of energy.
Mayo delivered punishing hits and carried out strategies devised by Bill Belichick. Between his speed, toughness and intelligence, Mayo outwitted offenses as a true sideline-to-sideline, three-down defender.
Known for haunting darkened film rooms, Mayo immediately earned the respect of a veteran Patriots team and was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2008. He became an All-Pro linebacker before retiring after eight seasons because of injuries, and a Patriots all-decade selection.
Now, Mayo, 34, is emerging as a rising star in NFL coaching circles. Many predict a fast rise from his current job as Patriots inside linebackers coach to ultimately become a head coach.
For a Texans franchise in flux and in need of leadership after firing coach and general manager Bill O'Brien, Mayo is an intriguing potential candidate with a lot of strong qualities in terms of football acumen and intangible traits.
"Jerod is a strong leader of men," one NFL source said. "He's incredibly smart with outstanding emotional intelligence and knowledge. I wouldn't bet against him becoming a head coach very soon and being very successful.

Podcast: Andre Johnson blasts Texans. What's the fallout?
"Just look at what Brian Flores is doing with the Dolphins. He was coaching the Patriots' linebackers and now he's turned Miami into a winning team. Jerod is a high-character person capable of energizing a franchise."
In his second season of coaching after retiring in 2016 and working in the financial sector and as a media analyst, Mayo could follow a similar fast track that another former Patriots linebacker, Mike Vrabel, traveled from Texans defensive coordinator and linebackers coach to become the Tennessee Titans head coach.
The Texans had Vrabel, Mayo's former teammate, in their building for years after he left the Ohio State coaching staff. Now, they're competing against the fiery former All-Pro selection in the AFC South division.
"I think Mayo will be an unbelievable head coach because he learned from the best coach (Belichick) to ever coach and he ran a defense as a rookie that has so many levels of complexity to it," said former Patriots and Texans nose tackle Vince Wilfork. "It's just a matter of time when his number will be called."
Other comparisons being made to Mayo, who helps run the Patriots' defense with outside linebackers coach Steve Belichick, Bill Belichick's son, include the pathways of other first-time head coaches who have succeeded such as Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl winning coach John Harbaugh after coaching special teams and defensive backs in Philadelphia, and Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott, a former Carolina Panthers and Eagles defensive coordinator.
The perspective that Mayo provides as a former player and his ability to connect with players on a personal level are among the qualities cited frequently by those who know him best.
"Juice."
It's a word that often comes up in conversations about Mayo because of his infectious personality and intensity.
During Belichick's coaching tenure in New England, which includes winning six Super Bowls, he has only hired two position coaches without any previous coaching experience: Mayo and Pepper Johnson, another retired inside linebacker.
"Jerod's done a great job," Belichick told New England reporters. "His experience as a player in our system is very valuable. We can talk about calls that we can make on the field or identifications and so forth and his perspective of, 'Yeah, that's no problem. That'd be easy. That's easy for us to do,' or 'That's a lot harder because the player is thinking about this.'
"That makes us rethink and have that perspective of how easy it is or isn't for a player in certain situations. He's done it and he's done it under pressure and dealt with a lot of things we currently deal with, and so that's a good perspective to have in the room. Nobody works harder than Jerod does."
A former Patriots first-round selection (10th overall) from Tennessee who was an All-American and All-Southeastern Conference selection, the Hampton, Va., native skipped the trip to New York for the draft as he preferred to be at home with his family. He was raking leaves during the day of the draft.
When the Patriots drafted Mayo, he quickly earned the respect of veteran linebackers like Tedy Bruschi and Vrabel. At 22 years old, Mayo became the bridge between the coaching staff and the locker room.
When Mayo retired, it wasn't long before he was invited to join the coaching profession. In many ways, he was a coach all along even during his playing days.
"Jerod was the Tom Brady of our defense, he was extremely smart," said former Patriots offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer, a former University of Houston standout. "If it's just words and you don't deliver on the football field, then you're just a rah-rah and people will basically tolerate you. If you put it all together, if you're one of the greats like Brady, then it's different. Jerod was an All-Pro, a guy who knew everything. He knew everything that was happening, knew all the calls. It's like having another coach on the field. He was a leader of men, and there are very few people I would describe that way. If he was in the locker room in the facility or in the cafeteria for lunch, it wouldn't take 30 seconds before every seat was taken.
"Some people have a personality that draws people in. He makes you feel good about what you're doing. He can read the room perfectly. As a captain, he knew when to be serious. He knew when to step up and make people fall in line. He also knew when to keep it light. When you play for the Patriots, you have a certain respect for Bill Belichick and Jerod had no problem reading the room and going to Bill's office and saying, 'Listen, these guys can't be in pads today, they need rest.' He could bridge the wall between the head coach and players. That is rare to see."
Former Detroit coach Matt Patricia, Mayo's position coach and defensive coordinator in New England, was struck by Mayo's cerebral nature and how he kept a detailed notebook and had a thirst for scouting reports about opponents and was intricately involved in every aspect of the Patriots' game plans.
"Jerod and I go way back, and he loves the game," Patricia said this week before being fired Saturday. "He's extremely smart. He's studying all of the time. All of that experience, he took as a player and you see it from him as a coach. I think he does a great job with those guys. I'm very close to him. He's like one of my sons."
Growing up in Virginia, Mayo learned a strong work ethic from his grandfather. In his spare time, Mayo would work as a handyman at the apartments owned by his family.
"The same stuff, he carried when he was a player, he's definitely still got it," Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower said. "He's a hell of a coach. Honestly, I wouldn't expect anything less. He's got so much knowledge and so much wisdom that he brings, not just as a football player.
"He's definitely done it. He's seen it. He's played it. The reputation that he has, he's an All-Pro, so it's great to have a linebacker coach who has been through so much and can relate to a lot."
As a player, Mayo became known for his prodigious and unusual work ethic. He rarely took a day off, showing up in Foxborough at the team facility for extra workouts and film sessions on his own even when coaches weren't at Gillette Stadium.
"While it was quite spectacular what Jerod did as a player, I think he'd be a great head coach," Vollmer said. "When he was hired as an assistant, I told my wife: 'He's going to either be a coordinator or a head coach in three years.' The impact that guy has, it's really hard to describe.
"He has learned from the best and can put his own style and stamp on it. If he does anything close to what he's done as a man and a player and an assistant coach and can translate that into being a head coach, that would be phenomenal. Nothing Jerod does would surprise me."
A married father of three daughters and one son, Mayo is known off the field for his philanthropic works in Boston where he's helped raise millions of dollars for Boston Medical Center Pediatrics and was named a member of the Boston Medical Center's board of trustees. A former executive in residence for Optum, the technology division of UnitedHealthGroup, the health insurance company, Mayo started the annual Mayo Bowl with his wife, Chantel, to help sick children.
"If you look at it from a different perspective playing into the business arena, Jerod went up the ladder so quick," Vollmer said. "Whatever he touches has success behind him."
Mayo definitely carries head coaching ambitions while maintaining his focus on his current job.
After years of playing for Belichick and launching his coaching career, Mayo is building his craft and preparing for the next opportunity.
"I would be lying if I said I never wanted to be a head coach," Mayo told New England reporters. "Just trying to learn as much as I can from coach Belichick and the rest of the staff. I try to pick the offensive coaches' minds, as well.
"I'm trying to just get this all-encompassing view of the game. It's been great. The good thing about being here in New England whether as a player or a coach is it's all about football and nothing else. It's been good."
An ultra-productive linebacker Mayo piled up 803 career tackles, 11 sacks, eight forced fumbles, three interceptions and seven fumble recoveries. He doubled as a teammate who could always be counted on to do and say the right thing.
"When they drafted me in 2009, Jerod had got there the year before me and he was already a team captain," Vollmer said. "He had the respect from everybody. We really got close in 2010 during the NFL lockout. We worked out together every day and became really good friends. If you work out with Jerod, you better go really hard. He would always push me to do more.
"There are two kinds of leaders. There are the kind of people that just talk and enjoy being the leader and aren't necessarily as authentic. Then, there are people who simply are a real leader. With Jerod, it comes natural to him. He doesn't get a high from being a captain and wielding power. What Jerod does, that's not for the cameras. That's just being authentic and real. That can't be faked. Jerod is real."
