CAMBRIDGE, Ont.—Canada's technology hub is looking to emerge as a prized fighter in the battle against corporate hackers, but one of its biggest challenges may be winning over a business community reluctant to ramp up their own protection.
A group of companies in the Waterloo, Ont. region is making headway in an industry focused on the biggest common threat to the business world consumer data and proprietary information falling into the hands of outsiders.
During the past year, massive data breaches left U.S. retailers and banks fumbling to explain how hackers stole personal information about their customers while the Canadian government took some of its systems offline to recover from attacks they claim came from China.
The sheer number of infiltrations has created a huge opportunity for cybersecurity firm Esentire Inc., one of the rising stars of global corporate security, which keeps an unassuming presence at an industrial park in Cambridge, Ont., just outside Waterloo.
Last month, Esentire secured $14 million from a group of investors who want to grow the operation, open a new office building and add another 40 people to its 90 employees.
Once dedicated almost exclusively to monitoring financial services and legal firms, Esentire says it sees more opportunities to grow in thriving areas of the health care industry, as well as energy and mining.
They're not the only ones making headway this year.
I Think Security, a Waterloo startup formed in 2010, was picked as one of eight international companies for FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific to help foster security ideas for the overseas banking industry.
But while so much attention is being placed on the dangers of international hackers, it's Canadian corporations that are vulnerable, industry players suggest.
Ottawa has faced major security breaches at least twice this year. The Canada Revenue Agency shut down its website in April after a security flaw tied to the Heartbleed bug allowed 900 social insurance numbers to be stolen, and the National Research Council said in July it was forced to shut down its IT network after security breaches.
Statistics Canada released a study in June which showed that six per cent of the 17,000 private Canadian enterprises surveyed had experienced an Internet security breach in 2013. About a quarter of those impacted said client or proprietary information had been corrupted, stolen or accessed without permission.
A more recent survey suggests those numbers could be escalating.
Websense, a U.S.-based security company, found in an August study that more than one-third of Canada's IT professionals say they have proof they've suffered a major data breach over the previous 12 months.
The survey also found that 56 per cent of the 236 Canadian respondents believed there were more threats that went undetected.
Few companies who respond to these surveys ever mention their threats publicly, and cybersecurity experts say it's mostly from fear the revelation would scare off customers or put them on the hook for liabilities.
While companies preserve their own interests, the silence from boardrooms downplays the urgency facing Canadian cybersecurity.
"Senior executives are great at what they do, but they're not necessarily technically inclined, so they tend to delegate to their IT department," said Doug Blakey, president of Watsec, another cybersecurity firm in Waterloo that trains companies on better practices.
However, that may change with the Digital Privacy Act, also known as Bill S-4, which is expected to go before Parliament for the second of three required readings this year. If it becomes law, it would require federally regulated businesses, as well as federal government agencies, to report significant breaches to the privacy commissioner and to customers and clients whose private information was leaked.
Tighter regulations are welcomed by the security industry, who consider it essential to ratchet up deterrents for cybercrimes.
"For the most part, we don't have teeth in the legislation, there's no penalties," said Blakey.
But even federal laws probably won't stop professional hackers with the skills to monitor correspondence between executives, intercept money transfers from fund managers or steal consumer data.
Within cybersecurity circles, it's assumed the majority of these hackers execute complex breaches from outposts in Russia, Eastern Europe and China, though it's often impossible to follow the trail, and even more difficult to prosecute them in international courts.
Some headway has been made in the United States, where three years ago the Securities and Exchange Commission asked public companies to reveal cyber-breaches considered "material" to investors. The guideline has brought to light several attacks, but the argument over what's "material" still gives plenty of wiggle room for companies to stay quiet about when they've been hacked.
With hundreds of thousands of suppliers working within the corporate network, it may be impossible to prevent hacks without a combination of education and constant monitoring of computer systems.
One of the challenges is making such an intangible problem feel urgent for companies before they suffer their own data breach, Blakey said.
"We don't want to go around crying like Chicken Little that the sky is falling but, on the other hand, people are not paying enough attention," Blakey said.

Philadelphia Eagles' DeSean Jackson Donates $30,000 To California Youth Football Team

DeSean Jackson, of the Philadelphia Eagles, donated $30,000 to the Cali Bears Youth Football and Cheerleaders, an American Youth Football League ("AYF"), Southern King Conference, team, based in Los Angeles, in response to an appeal from the team to Mr. Jackson, for crucial funding to save the organization's 2019 season. The Cali Bears Youth Football Team serves over 150 disadvantaged, inner-city youth, in South Central Los Angeles; and, was founded in 2018. Crucial funds were needed for uniforms, equipment, referee and venue fees; and, without these funds the entire season was in jeopardy.
Gayle Jackson, President, of DeSean Jackson Foundation, on behalf of DeSean Jackson and his foundation, presented the check to Leila Sedighan of the Southern California King Conference, Cali Bears Youth Football Team.
As the DeSean Jackson Foundation's president, Gayle Jackson emphasizes the importance of the foundation's mission and goals. "The foundation was established in honor of DeSean's father, William 'Bill' Jackson, who sacrificed his life to put his son in a position to do what he's doing today," Mrs. Jackson said.
Bill dedicated his life to building a structured foundation and deterrent against negative influences for DeSean by utilizing sports in his formative years. [Frequently, Bill had DeSean play for several teams simultaneously which required changing uniforms in the car between games.]
"DeSean gives back because my son believes, in his heart, that the reason he's blessed is to be a blessing; and, DeSean also believes he is responsible for preserving Bill's vision and instilled values to never forget where you came from and those left behind; and, sometimes that works to his detriment; but, he is indeed his father's son."
"That's what the DeSean Jackson Foundation is about: Mentoring, empowering and building confidence in these young kids," Gayle Jackson said. "To me, that can change a person's life; and, that's is what DeSean Jackson, the Philadelphia Eagles' All-Pro wide receiver, has continued to do throughout his 12 years in the NFL."
American Youth Football, Inc., established in 1996, is a support services organization, dedicated to giving back to communities by promoting the wholesome development of youth through their association with exemplary adult leaders in the sport of American football and cheer. Guidelines are established to ensure that players play in an atmosphere of learning with a competitive balance between teams.

By Zack Rosenblatt | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Updated Aug 7, 2019; Posted Aug 7, 2019
Repost by: Joie Adams, DeSean Jackson Foundation, Aug 17, 2019
Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is back in Philadelphia and out to prove that he's a different person than the one who was released by Chip Kelly in 2014.
It's 6 a.m. The phone rings. It rings again. It's DeSean Jackson.
Finally, half-asleep after a night out, Travis Clark rolls over and picks up the phone.
"It's time to go," the 15-year-old Jackson says. "Let's go!"
DeSean Jackson repeats this early-morning wake-up call four more times. He rousts his brother, Byron Jackson, Darrick Davis, Irving Booker and Gary Cablayan, too. In less than an hour, DeSean and Bill Jackson, his father, are in a beat-up Mazda 300Z, driving to USC, UCLA, Venice High School or a park in Culver City, wherever they could find an open field.
This is the posse hand-picked by Bill, the people he believes will keep Jackson on the straight and narrow, get him to the NFL and, eventually, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When his son was 8 years old, Bill Jackson told his son he'd be a Hall-of-Famer, and he meant it. Fast-forward 17 years to a recent midsummer day, and the five of them are meeting for lunch in Los Angeles to discus the person they affectionately consider a little brother.

"When we set out on this journey we didn't brand ourselves," Darrick Davis said. "We were just five guys pulling together to make this dude: a) get to the NFL, b) be a Pro Bowler; and, now c) get him to the NFL Hall of Fame. That was just our mission."
Oh, they got him to the NFL, all right. He's made three Pro Bowls, earned $75 million and has his sights set on the Hall of Fame and a Super Bowl ring. The ride here, however, hasn't always been smooth.
Today, he's back with the Philadelphia Eagles, determined to prove he's not the same person he was five years ago when he was kicked to the curb amid rumblings that he had a bad attitude, an inconsistent work ethic, was late for meetings and butted heads with coaches.
Jackson, his family and "Team Jackson" insist that was a long time ago, that he was misunderstood then, and that he's changed now.
In rare interviews, his inner circle spoke to NJ Advance Media about the impact of his father's death in 2009, about Jackson becoming a father himself, and the impact the Eagles' tough (but eventually forgiving) love had on their most explosive player. Also: why they think this time around will be different.
"They've [Team Jackson] been, my whole life, helping me every step of the way," Jackson told NJ Advance Media. "Obviously, my dad created a team that was like a backbone. They train me, advance me with the game and how life is gonna be. It's a brotherhood."
Here's the story of those five men.
'Mad Scientist Work'
Irving Booker still watches Jackson's famous "Miracle at the Meadowlands" punt-return touchdown from 2010 on YouTube from time to time. Everything that happened on that punt return, Booker said, encompasses what Team Jackson taught Jackson from a young age — from his fumble at the beginning of the return, the cutback, juking past a defender, bursting through a sea of Giants and outrunning all of them to the end zone in the epic play.
"That encompasses all of us," Irving Booker said.

Byron Jackson (51 years old): The older brother emphasized finishing plays in practice. He helped with route-running, taking everything he learned at San Jose State while catching passes from Jeff Garcia, and from two seasons on the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad, learning from legendary receivers coach Al Saunders.
Darrick Davis (51): A former defensive back who had a cup of coffee with the Atlanta Falcons, he connected with the Jackson family when he played with Byron at Santa Monica College — along with Booker — before he left for Long Beach State and Byron for San Jose. He was the mastermind behind many key decisions in Jackson's football career, including sending Jackson to Long Beach Poly High and California-Berkeley.

Irving Booker (51): Booker brought cones to every training session to help Jackson with cutting, functional movement and injury prevention. He has a unique background too: "I used to break dance," Booker said. "A lot of the moves in my mind's eye when I was coming up with things (for DeSean) came from break dancing."
Gary Cablayan (49): Cablayan and his father, Jerry, have trained Olympic sprinters. Jackson, as a child, challenged a Puerto Rican sprinter coached by the Cablayan to a 10-yard sprint. Jackson won. Gary has been training Jackson since. If he actually still runs a 4.3 second 40-yard dash like Booker claims, it's because of Gary.

Travis Clark (50): A former defensive back in the NFL, he focused on the mental aspect of the game, keeping Jackson focused and fortifying his football IQ. He also could throw the ball 70 yards, and practiced deep balls with Jackson at every session.
"It's us five who have done mad scientist work. Each one, in my eyes, is a genius," Booker said. "One hundred percent. You can't tell me anything different."
Said DeSean: "It is a special bond. I appreciate them every step of the way, what they did. … They're always calling, checking on me, still motivating me in knowing that, 'Yeah, you're a professional, but I'm still your big brother.' That's the relationship."
DeSean's mother, Gayle Jackson, and sister, A'Dreea Jackson-Clay, have played vital roles in DeSean's maturation. It all stated with Bill, though.
"A Father's Dream"- Bill and DeSean Jackson
"He was a genius," Clark said. "We thought he was crazy. We thought he was off his rocker, but when you look back, you go, 'Oh this man had a plan and his plan worked.'"
Along the way, the inner circle frustrated its share of coaches — Cal coach Jeff Tedford was especially outspoken, and then-Eagles coach Andy Reid warned DeSean Jackson on draft day about letting his family get involved with team affairs. But ultimately the plan worked.
Bill Jackson just didn't live long enough to see it through.
Life After Bill Jackson
When DeSean Jackson moved to Philadelphia, his father was with him. For most of DeSean's life, his father was by his side.
"They were inseparable," Cablayan said.
His father was his best friend who pushed him to be great. He was there when his son debuted in the NFL, starting against the St. Louis Rams to open the 2009 season.
His first play was an incompletion. The second: A 48-yard catch from Donovan McNabb. Jackson finished with 106 yards, the Eagles won 38-3 and Jackson's career took off. He had another 100-yard game in Week 2, making him the first receiver to open his career with two straight 100-yard games.
He helped the Eagles reach the postseason, and they beat the Minnesota Vikings in the first round. During the following week, as the Eagles prepared for the Giants, Bill Jackson was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was bedridden when the Eagles met the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game, watching on a small hospital TV in California, surrounded by his family and Team Jackson.
Bill cheered as his son score on a 62-yard touchdown pass from McNabb in the fourth quarter of a loss. Father and son spoke on the phone afterward. His father told DeSean that he played a great game, and that he was proud of him.
DeSean cried.
By April, Jackson had moved his dad to a hospital in Philadelphia, where he died in May.
"It was tough on all of us," Davis said, "but DeSean, there were periods where every single day DeSean was with Bill. Every single day. … There wasn't a moment where DeSean said: 'I haven't seen my dad in weeks.' No, it's, 'I haven't seen my dad in 15 minutes.'
"So once he got to the league, Bill was there dealing with what he had to deal with. It was pretty traumatic. It's hard to put into words because I know he dealt with a lot of …" He stopped for a moment. "I'm getting a little choked up just thinking about it," he said.
That off season, DeSean started the DeSean Jackson Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer to honor his father, and it was at their first charity event where they all agreed on the Team Jackson name. (Jackson Five was thrown around, too.)
When their father died, Byron took a leave from work and lived in Jackson's basement during that 2009 season. His death provided extra motivation for Byron to start work on a documentary — "The Making of a First Rounder: The DeSean Jackson Story" — in which Bill was an important character. That process was therapeutic, he said, watching film of his dad — the good, the bad, the ugly — over the course of DeSean's life.
Some nights DeSean would hear Bill's voice in his sleep, pumping through his air vents. When he'd wake up, he would realize it was Byron, logging footage for the documentary on his computer.
"Our dad had a strong, aggressive voice," Byron said. "He was a loud talker and he was very authoritative, he screamed and yelled a lot. I would watch footage and DeSean would wake up up in the middle of the night like, 'Man, I can hear it.'"
"Just replaying all the tape, then talking before the games it was like: Dad is with you."
Byron thinks it's no coincidence that Jackson, at least in his eyes, had the best year of his career that season.
"I was there when his dad passed and … it was a real emotional year," said Jason Avant, a former Eagles receiver and DeSean's teammate for all six years he was in Philadelphia. "His dad was everything to him. His dad was the catalyst for the player that he is."
Jackson had five 100-yard games, scored 11 touchdowns — two on punt returns — and completed his first 1,000-yard season.
On Dec. 29, Jackson received a call to tell him he had been selected to the Pro Bowl as a wide receiver and punt returner, the first player in NFL history to make it at two positions. He dropped the phone, ran to his brother and jumped into his arms. Then, he turned to a camera, filming for Byron's documentary, and said: "Pops, man, I love you. You knew."
The Pro Bowl that year was on Jan. 31 — Bill's birthday. He would've been 65.
"The night before the game, there was this halo around the moon," Byron said. "It feels like to me when he's on that football field, our dad had so much involvement in DeSean's life, it's almost like with football, DeSean is at one with Dad.
"Just seeing DeSean's success, it kept our Dad's spirit alive."
'He Left With Vengeance On His Mind'
It's the middle of June, and Jackson is Face Timing with his two kids and their mom, Kayla. He misses them. Jackson is back in Philadelphia, working with his new teammates for mini-camp, but his family is in Florida, where he spent the last few years playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He wishes he could be there with his boys, DeSean Jr. 4, and Jace, 1. Putting them to bed. Carrying them. Taking day trips to the beach. Laying on the floor, laughing and watching "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" on PBS, or maybe reading them a book. Jackson is 32 and, a father of two now, and he's more of a homebody.
No, really, he is.
"DeSean off the field is very low key, very quiet," Davis said. "You wouldn't believe it. He's very low key and he's not confrontational. Him being a dad … he relishes that role."
This isn't the same 27-year-old who was cut by ex-Eagles coach Chip Kelly after, statistically, the best season of Jackson's career in 2013. Jackson had a reputation for partying, tardiness and general immaturity to go along with the off-field concerns. The release was a wake-up call, the moment when Jackson went from being a football player to a professional football player, his team says.
"I think it became a job after he got let go," Cablayan said.
When Bill passed away, Team Jackson gave him space to let him grow on his own.
"You have five guys who pretty much raised you your whole life, and now you're a man," Byron said. "We gotta sometimes take a step back and let him be who we trust he's going to ultimately become. It's been a balancing act. We haven't always done or said things you would script. You still wanna be there for them, but when they come around and are ready to make the right decisions, you're always going to support them."
Jackson admits now that he was immature the first time around.
"When I was younger, I had the world at my hands," DeSean said at his introductory press conference in March. "Coming into the NFL as a rookie and having all that success early in my career, it was kind of hard to get a hold of that at a young age, you know? But you have to go through things in life in order to mature."
Ultimately, though, the release became a turning point in Jackson's maturity. Washington D.C., is where DeSean Jr. was born. Jace was born in Tampa Bay.
"He had started to mature, but it's hard when you're that age and your friends are around you (and they are) younger and want to do things that young people do," Darrick Davis said. "Now, with his time away (from the Eagles), having kids, all those little things make you see life differently.
"The whole Eagles thing, getting turned away from them was a harsh reality. He left with vengeance on his mind."
I'm Going To Tell You Guys … Just Be Careful
It was Week 2 in Tampa Bay last season and the Eagles were in town. DeSean Jackson always had a little extra for his former team, and few players have killed the Philadelphia Eagles over the last five years as Jackson did with the Redskins and Buccaneers.
On the first play of the game, Jackson beat cornerback Jalen Mills, caught a quick pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick, slanted across the field with Mills tailing him, then juked back the other way for an easy path to the end zone and a 75-yard touchdown.
Jackson pointed to Eagles coach Doug Pederson. He said, "You never should have let me go," Pederson recalled.
"I was like 'I wasn't even there! I wasn't even there!'" Pederson said, laughing. Pederson, an assistant on Reid's staff from 2009-12, wasn't around when Jackson was cut.
They reconnected after the game, too, and it was here that the seed was planted in Jackson's mind — he wanted to return to Philadelphia. One reason: He really wanted to play with Carson Wentz.
Jackson led the league in yards per catch (18.9) for the fourth time, but the Buccaneers went 5-11, missed the playoffs, fired their coach and Jackson was ready for a change. He hadn't played in a playoff game since 2015 with Washington. He pushed to be traded in the off season. He hoped it would be to the Eagles.
Ask Pederson, general manager Howie Roseman or even owner Jeffrey Lurie, and they'll tell you there wasn't much internal debate about that idea when he became available — it was a no-brainer, Pederson said.
"You've gotta have guys like (Jackson) on your team," Pederson said. "You gotta have guys with a little edge and guys that get a little pissed off from time to time. That's a healthy thing, too. And guys with fire, guys that want to win – and that's obviously what he wants – that's what we all want."
They wanted him back. All it took was a sixth-round pick and a new three-year contract.
So far, it seems to be going well. Teammates and coaches alike have raved about his work ethic, his leadership. He's been on time for meetings. He's spent extra time with Wentz on the field and in the film room. He participated in OTAs in May, even though they were voluntary. In between, he's even found time to host two free youth football camps — one in Philadelphia, one in Long Beach — while also delivering food to the Philly homeless community, and visiting local schools to talk about his journey.

In May, after the death of rapper (and friend) Nipsey Hussle — fatally shot in Los Angeles — he spoke at Latin Charter School in West Philly, and talked about gun violence, growing up in tough neighborhoods, and living in the Crenshaw district "where all people know is Crips and Bloods," he said, via ESPN, adding that he had a decision to make as he ascended to the NFL: "hang out with my homeboys that's just killing, that's robbing, that's selling drugs" or try to make an impact on the community using his platform as a football player.
"You get to a certain point where you feel comfortable," Jackson told the students, via ESPN. "You've got everybody praising you for what you do and where you come from, sometimes you let down your guard. I'm going to tell you guys here today: just be careful."
Sunday, Jackson returned to Lincoln Financial Field for the first time since he was cut. In front of a crowd of 40,000 Eagles fans, he received the team's largest ovation. It might be even louder in his pre-season debut on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans.
This is the final stage of Jackson's career. Since he was drafted in 2008, only five receivers (Larry Fitzgerald, Antonio Brown, Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Brandon Marshall) have more than Jackson's 10,261 receiving yards. He's outlasted all six of the receivers drafted ahead of him. He's one of the best deep threats in NFL history.
And now he has his sights set on the Hall of Fame, the last leg of his father's plan.
Now it's up to DeSean Jackson to see it through.
"He's all in," Byron said. "People don't know, but it was hard for him to watch the Super Bowl and not be with the team. It was hard for him the way he left Philadelphia. He's an emotional player. Coming back to Philly, it's going to be an emotional year … the fact that (the Eagles) were the team that our father got to see him on, and now he's back … he has some unfinished business in Philadelphia."

NFL player, DeSean Jackson, who was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, in March 2019, gave back to Philadelphia, on Saturday, June 8th, when he hosted a free camp for 250 youth, in North Philadelphia, in partnership with the Blackhawks Athletic Club. Jackson told NBC sports reporter, John Clark, that he is "very blessed and fortunate to be back in Philadelphia." "I feel it's my responsibility to give back," he stated, "This is about helping the community and inspiring our youth to strive for greatness."
The Blackhawks Athletic Club opened the registration to its members and other youth organizations in the Philadelphia area. Each age group of youth had the opportunity to work out with DeSean's personal, professional coaches from LA, local youth coaches, who showed them the 'tricks of the trade' gained from years of experience; and, the latest technology in developing elite technical and performance skills.
For Gayle Jackson, the level of adulation DeSean has received since returning to Philly; and, reflecting on the terms and conditions of his departure, means that his foundation should "give back" much more. "We're back, in Philly now and we're getting all this love", she said. "If you're getting all this love, you have to do something, and that something should be the best that you can give." That is what the DeSean Jackson Foundation is about: Mentoring, empowering and building confidence in these young kids, Gayle Jackson said, "To me, that can change a person's life."

How Nipsey Hussle's death led DeSean Jackson to Boys' Latin

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson was about halfway through his Q&A session with the students at Boys' Latin Charter School in West Philly on Wednesday, and to that point he had fielded only football-related questions. Knowing there were bigger issues at hand, he took it upon himself to change the direction of the conversation.
"Let's try to switch it a little bit," Jackson finally said to a group of about 150 high schoolers, who sat at rapt attention as Jackson spoke from the stage in a surprise appearance. "Let's go to everyday life, when you all leave from school, any obstacles you are all going through."
Jackson was aware of the series of tragedies that had struck this community. Boys' Latin, the only public all-boys school in Philadelphia, lost four students to homicide or suicide in the 2017-18 school year alone, according to lead student support officer Kenyon Meeks. One of the victims was William Bethel, a 16-year-old athlete who was slain on Easter Sunday in 2018. Bethel shared a connection with Jackson, having attended Jackson's youth football camp during his first stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Meeks was a supporter of that camp and built a relationship with the star receiver over time. He helped arrange Jackson's first trip to Boys' Latin in 2013. It was the death of artist Nipsey Hussle, Jackson's longtime friend, that prompted Meeks to reach out to Jackson for a return appearance, as he identified a common thread that could tie a success story to a group of young men in need of some hope and direction. Jackson was moved to help.
"We brought in DeSean Jackson today because of the recent Nipsey Hussle situation, related to the loss of some of our students," Meeks said. "One of the key things for me was, how do I bridge that gap with our students that are feeling down and depressed, or just have to deal with the everyday aspect of being out here in West Philly?
"We have had our shares of ups and downs, and it was nice to finally have some joy here."
Jackson remained hidden behind a side door in the school cafeteria before being introduced by the principal. He was greeted by a roar of applause when he emerged, and he went down the line shaking the hands of all the boys in the first row before hopping up on stage. He spoke of his journey from the Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles to the NFL, and the pitfalls that had to be navigated along the way. It wasn't long before he evoked Hussle's name for the first time.
"I'm sure everybody in this room heard about the Nipsey Hussle situation, right?" Jackson asked, the crowd responding with a resounding "Yeah" in unison. "That was my boy, man. I grew up with him. That still hurts my heart to this day. Because it's not really the enemies, it's the people in your inner circle you've got to watch out for. You get to a certain point where you feel comfortable. You've got everybody praising you for what you do where you come from, sometimes you let down your guard. I'm going to tell you guys here today, just be careful.

"You have to really understand: What are you in it for? Are you in it to win or to lose? Every day I chase to win. I don't chase to lose. We're not losers. Everybody in this room today has a destination in life. You've got a born date and you've got a death date. In between that time, how are you going to make the most out of it?"
Hussle was fatally shot outside his store in Los Angeles, Marathon Clothing, in late March. According to Meeks, Hussle's death affected his students "on a level that you wouldn't even believe," saying that it "just uprooted everything that we have been through as a school community."
Besides his music, Hussle was known for being an agent of change for the area in which he grew up, a neighborhood he stayed loyal to his entire life.
Hailing from the same area in South Central Los Angeles, Jackson and Hussle were friends for more than 15 years. Jackson will be wearing custom cleats to honor him this season.
Once he redirected the conversation, Jackson was asked about the neighborhood he came from and difficulties it presented. He spoke of his upbringing in the Crenshaw district, where "all people know is Crips and Bloods," and where wearing the wrong color clothing can put you in peril. He had a decision to make: go into the streets and "hang out with my homeboys that's just killing, that's robbing, that's selling drugs" or try to make a positive impact by pursuing his dream to be a professional football player.
"It's obstacles," Jackson said. "And I'm sure in your neck of the woods, where you come from, it's the same."
"It really touched me, because my uncle and a couple of my friends were killed due to gun violence," said Jeremiah Carter, a Boys' Latin senior and defensive lineman who is slated to attend Morehouse College in the fall, "so it helped to see somebody that comes from the same situation as that being in a higher place in life, and it motivates me to focus on, OK, even though bad things happen to people, that you can still push through that."
Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson speaks to a group of students from the Boys' Latin Charter School in West Philadelphia on Wednesday.
That spoke to Jackson's overall message, one inspired by Hussle: to make something of yourself so you can one day create the change you want to see in your community.
"It's the same stuff Nipsey was on," Jackson said. "Like Jay Z said, 'Go buy up the block.' That's what we need to do as young black men, and any other race, you've really got to go back and buy up the block.
"Anytime you're able to do anything, put your best foot forward and change the culture. We've got to come together as one."

DeSean Breaks Jerry Rice's Record with 60 TD Catch
Cincinnati Bengals, DeSean Jackson, DeSean Jackson Foundation, Jameis Winston, NFL, Tampa Buccaneers
DeSean Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver, broke Jerry's Rice's record for the most touchdown catches of 60 or more yards during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. DeSean Jackson now has 24 career touchdowns of 60 or more yards, which is the most in NFL history. Jackson was humbled when he received a congratulatory Tweet from Jerry Rice who he regards as the G.O.A.T. [Greatest of All Time] who shared his wisdom and knowledge about the game early in his Jackson's career.
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston hit DeSean Jackson in the second quarter before the veteran went untouched for the score to make the game 21-6. DeSean Jackson reached another career milestone in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns when he became the 47th NFL player to reach 10,000 receiving yards.
During the post-game interviews, Jackson expressed his gratitude to the Tampa Buccaneers, the Glazer Family and his teammates for giving him the opportunity to achieve this major milestone in his career. "I take pride in knowing that I achieved this goal in a Bucs' jersey for our team and the Buccaneer fans" stated Jackson.

Józef Aleksander Kochanowicz (ur. 26 lutego 1875 we Włocławku, zm. 5 lipca 1957 w Gliwicach) – polski chemik, założyciel i wieloletni dyrektor Fabryki Farb i Lakierów "Nobiles" we Włocławku.

Życiorys

Rodzina, młodość i wykształcenie
Urodził się we Włocławku, w wielodzietnej rodzinie mieszczańskiej Michała Kochanowicza (1837–1914) i Emilii z Lesińskich (1842–1905). Jego ojciec był właścicielem nieruchomości we Włocławku, sklepu kolonialnego i statków żeglugi wiślanej, a wcześniej lakiernikiem. Wśród jego rodzeństwa byli: doktor medycyny Stanisław Zachariasz Kochanowicz (1867–1917); Maria Adamina Kochanowicz (1869–1918), inż. Kwiryn Leon Wojciech Kochanowicz (1872–1953); Franciszka Kochanowicz (1877–1884); aktor i reżyser teatralny, a także uczestnik rewolucji 1905 roku Jan Kochanowicz (1879–1963) oraz Cecylia Barbara Frąckiewicz (1881–1942). Jednym z jego bratanków był Tadeusz Kochanowicz (1910–1995), urzędnik okresu II Rzeczypospolitej i Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej (podsekretarz stanu), w czasie wojny łącznik Rządu RP na uchodźstwie, autor wspomnień.

Ukończył sześcioklasową Szkołę Realną we Włocławku. W latach 1893–1894 odbył służbę wojskową w armii rosyjskiej jako tzw. jednoroczny ochotnik w 41 Jamburgskim Pułku Dragonów, awansując do stopnia unteroficera (podoficer w armii rosyjskiej). Następnie ukończył studia inżynieryjno-chemiczne na Ryskim Uniwersytecie Technicznym (według innych źródeł w Charlottenburgu).

Założyciel i dyrektor fabryki w okresie zaborów
Po otrzymaniu spadku w wysokości ok. 5 tysięcy rubli postanowił otworzyć we Włocławku własną fabrykę. Ponieważ suma ta była w tym celu niewystarczająca, zawiązał spółkę ze swoim ojcem Michałem Kochanowiczem i Mieczysławem Sachnowskim. Wspólnie uzbierali oni 15 tysięcy rubli kapitału zakładowego. W 1897 r. uruchomili przedsiębiorstwo pod nazwą Fabryka Lakierów i Farb, Towarzystwo "Nobiles" Kochanowicz, Sachnowski & Co., Spółka Komandytowa we Włocławku, z siedzibą przy ul. Łęgska 23-25. Dyrektorem fabryki został Józef Kochanowicz. Początkowo fabryka produkowała bezbarwne lakiery olejowo-żywiczne do malowania powozów. Następnie asortyment poszerzono o czarne wyroby asfaltowe (tzw. lakiery japońskie) oraz farby olejne do malowania podłóg i stolarki budowlanej.

Kochanowicz uważał się bardziej za chemika niż przedsiębiorcę. Farby i lakiery w jego fabryce były wytwarzane w niewielkich ilościach, ale w najwyższej jakości, dzięki czemu zdobyły uznanie na rynku zachodnioeuropejskim. Zasada produkowania farb najwyższej jakości jest wpisana do dziś w misję marki Nobiles.

Do wybuchu I wojny światowej Kochanowicz stopniowo zwiększał obroty produkcji. W odpowiedzi na rosnące zapotrzebowanie, rozbudowywał fabrykę, która w 1914 r. osiągnęła wartość 75 tysięcy rubli.

W tym czasie Józef Kochanowicz zaangażował się w działalność społeczną. W 1906 r. był, wspólnie z żoną Adelą jednym z założycieli Towarzystwa Biblioteki i Czytelni im. Adama Mickiewicza we Włocławku.

Niemieccy okupanci w trakcie I wojny światowej zrabowali fabrykę Kochanowicza, zabierając z niej zarówno część maszyn jak i surowców o wartości 2 tysięcy funtów szterlingów. Doprowadziło to do zaprzestania produkcji na cały okres wojny.

W II Rzeczypospolitej
W 1919 r. dzięki staraniom Józefa Kochanowicza fabryka "Nobiles" została ponownie uruchomiona, mimo braku całego potrzebnego w tym celu kapitału.

W 1922 r. Sąd Okręgowy we Włocławku zarejestrował przedsiębiorstwo pod nazwą "Nobiles" - Kochanowicz, Sachnowski i S-ka. W 1923 r. spółkę komandytową przekształconą w spółkę akcyjną pod nazwą Fabryka Lakierów i Farb, Towarzystwo "Nobiles" Kochanowicz i Sachnowski i Co. Spółka Akcyjna. Józef Kochanowicz ponownie został dyrektorem fabryki, a także prezesem zarządu przedsiębiorstwa, do którego należeli też jego brat Kwiryn Kochanowicz, Mieczysław i Adam Sachnowscy oraz Henryk Ossowski. Kapitał zakładowy spółki wynosił 434 232,89 zł.

W latach 1919–1923 fabryka została rozbudowana o magazyny i kotłownię. Jej teren podwojono nabywając nowe place. Kupiono nową aparaturą. Wzniesiono także domy dla robotników. W latach 20. fabryka uległa poważnemu pożarowi.

W 1931 r. spółka zmieniła nazwę na Fabryka Lakierów i Farb, Towarzystwo "Nobiles" Kochanowicz, Sachnowski i Co. Spółka Akcyjna. W tym czasie, spółka rozszerzyła asortyment oferowanych produktów m.in. o emalie do malowania samochodów i autobusów, w tym także dla produkowanych w Polsce aut marki Chevrolet i Fiat. Wyroby fabryki stosowano także w przemyśle lotniczym, kolejowym czy okrętowym. Jako pierwsza w Polsce zaczęła produkować emalie i lakiery nitrocelulozowe. Zatrudnienie na jednej zmianie wzrosło z niespełna 50 osób w 1923 roku do 100 osób w 1938 roku. Otworzono salon pokazowy firmy przy ul. Chmielnej w Warszawie.

30 grudnia 1933 r. Kochanowicz zrezygnował z funkcji dyrektora fabryki "Nobiles" we Włocławku. Pozostawał natomiast prezesem zarządu spółki. W 1939 r. została ona zarejestrowana ponownie pod nazwą Fabryka Lakierów i Farb, Towarzystwo "Nobiles" Kochanowicz, Sachnowski i Co, Spółka Akcyjna.

Działalność polityczna w II RP
Józef Kochanowicz był radnym I i II kadencji Rady Miejskiej miasta Włocławka, wybranym z listy nr 1 Narodowego Komitetu Wyborczego Stronnictw Demokratycznych.

W okresie dwudziestolecia międzywojennego pełnił funkcję prezesa Związków Fabryk Farb i Lakierów w Polsce.

Podczas II wojny światowej i w Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej
W trakcie II wojny światowej fabryka została zajęta przez Niemców, którzy przestawili produkcję na potrzeby wojskowe. Pod koniec okupacji wywieźli oni większość jej inwentarza. Polska załoga powróciła do "Nobilesu" 20 stycznia 1945 roku, tj. w dniu wyzwolenia Włocławka. W marcu ponownie uruchomiono produkcję.

Po wojnie fabryka Kochanowicza została upaństwowiona, przez co przestał być on prezesem zarządu spółki. Z tego powodu wyprowadził się z Włocławka. W 1946 r. został zatrudniony jako główny inspektor technologiczny w Zjednoczeniu Przemysłu Farb i Lakierów w Gliwicach. Pracował na tym stanowisku do swojej śmierci.

W 1954 r. Minister Przemysłu Chemicznego nadał mu nagrodę za opracowanie receptury na szpachlówkę i emalie olejne oraz metodę zastąpienia gilzonitu (importowanego z zagranicy) pakami ponaftowymi (produkowanym w Polsce).

Zmarł 5 lipca 1957 r. Jego córka Julia Stefanowicz przywiozła jego prochy z Gliwic i pochowała na Cmentarzu Komunalnym we Włocławku (kwatera 30/1/11).

Życie prywatne

Raytheon Company's RTN Missiles Systems business unit recently secured a $97.8-million modification contract related to the Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles (ESSM) Block 2. The contract was awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, DC.
Per the deal, Ratheon will provide long lead time materials for fiscal 2019 ESSM Block 2 low-rate initial production. Work related to the deal will be executed in Ontario, Canada; Andover, MA, and several other locations across the world. Tasks are expected to get completed by March 2023.
Raytheon will utilize fiscal 2019 and 2018 weapons procurement (Navy), and fiscal 2018 and 2017 other procurement (Navy) funds for completing the task.
ESSM is an international cooperative upgrade of the RIM-7 Seasparrow Missile. It provides self-defense battle space and firepower against high speed, highly maneuverable anti-ship missiles in the naval environment, including aircraft, and high and low velocity air threats.
The ESSM program is a global joint initiative undertaken by the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO") and other allied nations to design, develop, examine and procure ESSM missiles. ESSM currently has more than 2,000 proven rounds in service or in production, with another 1,500 rounds anticipated.
Increasing geo-political tensions across the globe have prompted nations, both developed and developing, to strengthen their defense systems manifold. With rapid technological upgrades, missile defense has steadily emerged to play a pivotal role in a nation's defense strategy. With the United States being the world's largest weapons supplier, it's a golden era for the nation's premier defense contractors like Raytheon.
Notably, the fiscal 2019 U.S. defense budget provisioned for a spending plan of $6 billion for varied missile programs. Since then, Raytheon, being a prominent missile maker in America, has successfully secured a number of major contracts related to missile development. Such contract flows have enabled the company's Missile Systems segment to register a solid sales growth of 6% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2018. Considering the prevailing socio-economic anxiety across all nations, we may expect Raytheon to continue winning such contracts in the days ahead.
Raytheon's stock has improved about 18.9% in the past twelve months compared with the industry's growth of 23.1%.
Raytheon currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). A few better-ranked stocks in the same sector are The Boeing Company BA, Spirit Aerosystems Holdings SPR and Heico Corporation HEI.
Heico Corporation's long-term growth estimates currently stand at 12.10%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2019 earnings has increased 5.4% to $2.14 in the past 90 days.

Achondroplasia is a Greek word meaning "without cartilage formation". "A" is for negative, "chondros" for cartilage and "plasia" for growth. It´s caused by a genetic mutation resulting in the inability to convert cartilage to bone.
Although we are speaking of bones growth, the central problem is in the cartilage. But now, I will start by describing ossification, that is the process of bone formation.
In the fetus, most of the skeleton is made up of cartilage, a tough, flexible connective tissue that has no minerals or salts. As the fetus grows, the bone cells: osteoblasts and osteoclasts, slowly replace cartilage cells and ossification begins.
The different between both rests on whether a cartilage model serves as the precursor of the bone (endochondral ossification) or whether the bone is formed by a simpler method, without the intervention of a cartilage precursor (intramembranous ossification).
The bones of the extremities and those parts of the axial skeleton that bear weight (e.g., vertebrae) develop by endochondral ossification.
The flat bones of the skull and face, the mandible, and the clavicle develop by intamembranous ossification.
The separate labels for types of bone or bone tissue should not be taken to mean existing bone is either membrane bone or endochondral bone – these names refer only to the mechanism by which a bone is initially formed.
Due to remodeling of bone that occurs later in development, the initial bone tissue that was laid down by endochondral formation or by intramembranous formation is soon replaced.
The replacement of bone is established on the preexisting bone by appositional growth and is identical in both cases.
Long bones, although classified as forming by endochondral formation, their continued growth involves the histogenesis of the endochondral bone and the histogenesis of intramembranous bone, with the later occurring through the activity of the periosteal (membrane) tissue.
The first evidence of intramembranous ossification occurs around the 8th week of gestation in the human with a condensation of mesenchymal cells within the mesenchymal tissue.This is the membrane referred to in the term "intramembranous" ossification.
Long bones have epiphyseal plate, also known by physis or growth plate. Is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.
The metaphysis is the wide portion of a long bone between the epiphysis and the narrow diaphysis. It is considered a part of the growth plate, the part of the bone that grows during childhood and as it grows, it ossifies near the diaphysis and the epiphyses.
For ossification to occur it is vital the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and the addition of minerals and salts. Calcium compounds must be present for ossification to take place. Osteoblasts do not make these minerals, but must take them from the blood and deposit them in the bone. By the time we are born, many of the bones have been at least partly ossified.
As growth proceeds, the thickness of the epiphyseal plates gradually decreases and this bone lengthening process ends. In humans, different bones stop lengthening at different ages, but ossification is fully complete by about age 25.

No. 2 Haddonfield continues to find a way and No. 15 West Deptford refuses to quit in another rivalry classic.
HADDONFIELD – The latest high school pigskin clash between rivals Haddonfield and West Deptford here on Friday proved the fabric of both programs. It showed the character of the kids on these 2018 editions that proudly don their pads.
For the No. 2-ranked Haddons (6-0), they remained unbeaten. Coach Frank DeLano's boys are through a stretch of schedule that included Group 2 contenders in the Eagles, Cinnaminson and Pleasantville. Throw in last Saturday's topple of then-No. 1 St. Joseph, too, and the team's earned its bye week and then some.
For the 15th-ranked Eagles (3-2), they stood tall when challenged at halftime and came back from a three-touchdown hole to threaten for a late upset bid. They found out what they've got on the roster.
"This game is a thing of its own," Haddonfield senior Chris Brown said. "It's a game unlike any other.
Brown, Alex Kadar and Tommy Batson share carries for the Haddons. They are firm, steady and relentless.
"Those guys run hard," DeLano said.
They fit this game, lesser known than the stars like quarterback Jay Foley and talented receivers in his brother Johnny or Davis Smith. Drew Gavranich's profile rose last week with his pair of scores against the Wildcats.
Even Gabe Klaus — a ferocious linebacker — got his mitts on a long pass Friday night.
The unsung heroes like Batson, Brown and Kadar helped make the difference.
It got to Nicky DiNoia's grasp late in the affair. He stopped the 4th-and-3 run play that essentially sealed victory with about two minutes left.
DiNoia, all 5 feet, 9 inches and 199 pounds of him, made sure the black-clad club put the nail in the coffin.
That H is the rally point. Kids like DiNoia might not get the pub, but the H brings them together. It does the same for the stars on the roster, none too big for the program.
Johnny Foley missed the game with a minor ailment and in stepped John Maynes. All the junior did in his first varsity start was grab a touchdown, fill in as the long snapper and take Jay Foley's advice not to mess up in his first interview with a reporter.
It's a tired and old cliché but boy, does it matter.
A drop off in talent is to be expected from first to second string. Effort and ability to grasp a role is where that can be bridged. It helps a good club become a great one.
What stood out most about Haddonfield on Friday compared to Saturday is that it never let the result out of grasp.
After West Deptford cut a 21-0 deficit to 21-14, the Haddons marched down and scored on an 80-yard drive that lasted 5 minutes, 41 seconds. Only one snap ended up with a pass.
Haddonfield found a way through a short week, Gavranich's flu-like symptoms that landed him in the hospital mid-week with IV drips, no Johnny Foley and an interception that nicely set up the Eagles' final shot to triumph.
The Haddons found a way on 4th-and-3 to come away unscathed.
On the other sideline, Jason Morrell got his first contact as head coach with this marvelous matchup. His team muffed a punt and had a field goal blocked in the first half.
West Deptford let up a quick touchdown drive with 10 seconds left in the second frame. The Haddons put together another one on the first possession after intermission.
Down 21-0, the Eagles went three-and-out. But a roughing the punter call gave them new life and they responded.
With what little voice Morrell had left, he hammered home his emotion to the troops.
"You came out and made your whole damn town proud," Morrell praised in the postgame speech.
"These kids are champions and losing is not in their vocab, so in that sense it's negative, Morrell said before he walked off to the team bus. "But on the whole, this group did everything we asked them to do and then some.
Friday night spoke a lot about both.
Then again, that's what a rivalry like this one is all about. Those around the sport – especially its coaches – long for big ones like these. It's where they can see the strength of that fabric and what their guys are made of.
The six-point decision marked a new chapter for the series that featured coach Clyde Folsom in the 28 years prior.
"I'll miss it tonight," he said 90 minutes before kickoff as he walked his way into the newly-renovated stadium of enemy turf.


Uglyworld #744 - I Trained Him (238-365), originally uploaded by www.bazpics.com.
After the revelations that Babo shared with me back in July about him being a secret agent back on Uglyworld I've been waiting for him to share some more of his background with me and in turn with all of you.
Last weekend I had finished yet another book (this time it was the action thriller "Adrenaline" by Jeff Abbott) so I had been thinking of what book I could pick up to read next. While wandering around the local Target store Babo found and delivered me the next book I would read.
I've previously read all of Robert Ludlum's original novels including the stories of Jason Bourne and his quest to find out who he really is, and since the untimely demise of Mr Ludlum I was pleased to see the novellist Eric Van Lustbader step in and continue the Bourne story.
Babo had managed to find the latest novel in the series entitled "The Bourne Deception", and based on the fact that he wasn't even around when I read the original novels it intrigued me as to why he chose this particular book.
Tonight he saw me checking out the pre-face in the book and once again went through his sneaky routine of running to the door, opening it, checking outside in all directions, closing the door, turning the lights off and then monitoring for movement outside through the curtains.
Once he was satisfied that it was safe to continue he began, "You remembers I telled you of my job where I aborts the cookies mission?", I nodded in agreement and he continued, "Well, you see's, this books here is not justs a story, it be's real lifes too, as Jason Bourne came to Uglyworld for trainings." He stopped talking and moved to the door almost as though he suspected something or someone was outside, but after a few minutes he came back to the couch and informed us "Is ok, was onlys an owl about 4 blocks away, playing in the nights air".
"Jason was put into my charge, so I had to teaches him all kinds of specials stuff that he may needs in certain situations, like how's to disarms someone or gets information from bad peoples". Everyone listened intently on the edge of their seats to Babo's story which had us all captivated.
Cinko asked if Babo could show everyone some of his "specials agents" skills sometime, as the fact that Babo could teach how to disarm people sounded too good to be true. Babo is currently trying to arrange a special "closed doors' class for the guys sometime soon, they can't wait for this to happen and to hear more of Babo's tales of his mysterious past back on Uglyworld.
