A decade after depressed adults started listening to Prozac, a generation of children is tuning in. None of the half-dozen drugs in Prozac’s class–the so-called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs–has been fully tested in children. But because the drugs are FDA-approved for use in adults, doctors can legally prescribe them to kids as well. The new users span every sector of society, from Manhattan’s most elite schools to Atlanta’s poorest ones, and their numbers are exploding....

Wire Attributes Affecting Quality Speaker wires facilitate the flow of electrical impulses between a receiver and a speaker. Like any wire, its thickness (or gauge), its overall length, and its constituent materials perform differently under electrical load. The three major considerations are: Capacitance: The higher the capacitance, the more charge that a material (like a wire) holds at a given voltage. Inductance: The change in voltage that arises from changes in current....

It was previously revealed that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had been banned in Saudi Arabia. The sale of advance tickets had been stopped, and any content related to the film was withdrawn. There were additional reports that Kuwait and Qatar had also followed suit and banned the film. However, new reports confirm that Saudi Arabia has so far only asked for an edit in the film prior to its release and is still in conversation with Disney....

RELATED: Doctor Who: Deadly Enemies That Only Appeared Once For better or worse, many Doctor Who fans have started to look past the 13th Doctor’s final episode to focus on the 60th Anniversary instead, with many posting set photos and filming online in the hopes of discovering more about the plot. The pressure is on for the 60th Anniversary, with many fans expecting to see certain things in the Anniversary episode(s) and for Doctor Who’s future seasons....

There have been many alternate reality games released since Niantic’s Pokemon GO took the Mobile gaming world by storm in 2016, but few, if any, have been able to live up to the hit title. None have been able to surpass its money-making abilities at least, with Pokemon GO having its highest earnings ever in 2020. However, a Doctor Who AR game might win fans over if it was executed correctly, like this promising mock-up....

The 45-year-old Schumacher fell while skiing in France and hit the right side of his head on a rock, cracking his helmet. Doctors operated to remove blood clots from his brain but some were left because they were too deeply embedded. Schumacher's condition stabilized after he was placed in the coma. Late last month, doctors began the process of withdrawing sedatives to try to wake him up. His agent, Sabine Kehm, said in an email on Friday that "Michael is still in the wake-up phase" and that "this phase can be long....

Hundreds of emails and documents obtained by BuzzFeed News through a Freedom of Information Act request show how federal agents monitored social media for “intelligence” on planned Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Minneapolis, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and other cities. In at least one case, they showed that authorities used social media posts in an effort to identify protesters who may have witnessed a Molotov cocktail being thrown at a U....

The three-time champion had held the upper hand when play was halted on Friday, claiming the third set in a tie-break just prior to the cut-off point at 11pm local time. Nadal hit back when their clash resumed a day later, though, winning the fourth set of a classic semi-final to draw level as the two heavyweights of the sport slugged it out under the Centre Court roof. The duo continued to thrill the full house in a dramatic final set that lasted 91 minutes....

All that mattered, really, was that Djokovic managed to do what Roger Federer could not two nights earlier: beat 55th-ranked John Millman at the U.S. Open. Djokovic moved a step closer to a third championship at Flushing Meadows and 14th Grand Slam title overall by eliminating Millman 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to get to the tournament’s semifinals for an 11th appearance in a row. He sat out last year because of an injured right elbow....

The space agency chief said he was aware of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) accounts provided by pilots and that these reports often came back after test flights. Rogozin said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 news channel that 99.9 percent of all reports were later identified as “atmospheric and other physical phenomena” but also considered that “we might be a subject to some external observation.” “We can study bacteria, but we can also be studied just like bacteria,” he added, according to the Russian state-controlled TV network RT....

NEWSWEEK: As you know, we’re in the middle of one hot political season. I hear that any political office holder who attends your service will be recognized, but they are not allowed to address your congregation, and that any current candidates will likely not be recognized at all. Why the policy? Joel Osteen: Well, I think it started back with my father. Really, it was the size of the church....

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story is a musical that tells the stories of two lovers from rival gangs and different ethnic backgrounds. The original music was created in 1957, with Stephen Sondheim, who recently died at the age of 91, writing the lyrics for the show. As one of the most famous musicals of all time, all eyes (and ears) will be on the cast to see how they perform the songs made famous in the stage musical, then again in the 1961 movie....

The innovations in audio for sleep extend from apps and audio content to speakers and earbuds. Both Endel’s AI soundscapes or Bose Sleepbuds are great examples. And, judging by my inbox, I can tell that companies are increasingly competing to figure out the best way to use audio as a sleep aid. A new entry into the space of nighttime audio is the Kokoon Nightbuds. The product is a pair of Bluetooth earbuds specifically designed for use while sleeping....

Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, the president of Allegheny General Hospital, lived across the street from the synagogue. When asked about treating Robert Bowers, the accused shooter, Cohen said: “It’s not easy. There’s a lot of mixed emotions with it.” Cohen, who is Jewish, told CBS that he heard the shootings the morning it started. In addition to the gunshots, Cohen said, “You could hear him yell, ‘We have to kill all the Jews,’ and he said it again, when he got off the ambulance at AGH....

As is now the case for any upcoming project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Funko Pop figures have started a conversation about what Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will unveil. Fans are already discussing the different variants of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, and their interesting outfits, along with the subtle introduction of a new character named Sara.

RELATED: Doctor Who: The Best Companions, Ranked Since the show’s debut back in 1963, there have been 14 different iterations of the Doctor; 16, if John Hurt’s War Doctor and Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor are included. Each one has brought something a little different to the role, although some have done a much better job of bringing the classic sci-fi character to life than others. Updated January 9, 2023, by Tom Bowen: The decision to replace Jodie Whittaker with Davin Tennant surprised a lot of people, particularly as Ncuti Gatwa had seemingly already been confirmed as the fourteenth doctor....

Ross Stripling took a no-hitter into the eighth inning in his major league debut in rainy San Francisco, but with one out the 26-year-old right-hander issued a walk to Angel Pagan. MORE: Relive MLB’s no-hitters from 2015 There were baseball reasons to remove Stripling from the game: The walk brought the tying run to the plate in a 2-0 game, and it was the second hitter out of five who Stripling had walked....

With the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, Jofra Archer, Shaheen Afridi, Trent Boult, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Kemar Roach to name a few, Test cricket has been quite a struggle for the batsmen. Never has a wicket fallen at a faster rate in Test history than in the 2018-19 season. There has been an increase in the number of batting collapses arising out of top-order failures. Are modern batsmen unsure off their back-foot?...

At its congress next week, the Chinese Communist Party is expected to appoint Xi to a third five-year term, after he engineered the removal of the two-term limit. What is happening is the result of a summer of jostling among the 25 members of the Politburo. Xi is not a dictator, but rather what the Party wants. If indeed appointed, in three years Xi will pass Ziang Zemin to become the longest-serving party chief after Mao; he has given himself an exception to the age limit of 68 for running for new office; he has taken to occasionally wearing Mao-type clothing and is promoting a personality cult unlike his post-Mao predecessors; the state media seems about one step away from starting to call him “Great Leader” as well....

Earlier, in the same Guga Kuerten group, Alexander Zverev made it six consecutive wins against Marin Cilic in a contest at London’s O2 Arena featuring scores of unforced errors. World number one Djokovic, though, was playing a different game, appearing little troubled by the howitzers coming off the giant Isner’s racquet – breaking his opponent three times and not conceding a single break point on his own serve. In stark contrast to second seed Roger Federer, who produced an error-strewn performance in defeat to Kei Nishikori on Sunday, Djokovic hit just six unforced errors and won 86 percent of points on his serve, making a mockery of the apparent challenging nature of the playing surface....
