Latest On Texans', Panthers' GM Search
December 15th, 2019 at 9:23am CST by Rory Parks
We heard several weeks ago from Ian Rapoport of NFL.com that the Texans, who tried but failed to hire Patriots exec Nick Caserio as their GM this spring, were planning to operate without a GM in 2020. But Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports hears differently.
La Canfora says the Texans remain interested in Caserio, who is still a desirable GM candidate. Indeed, La Canfora reported back in October that Houston was expected to hire Caserio in 2020, after his contract with New England is up, which is one of the reasons why Rapoport's report from earlier this month was a bit of a surprise.
But if the Texans do hope to hire Caserio this offseason, they could face some competition from multiple clubs, including the Panthers. Per La Canfora, Panthers owner David Tepper wants to speak with several coaches and executives with ties to New England, and he was among those who reached out to former Patriots executive Jack Easterby last year.
Coincidentally, Easterby ultimately became Houston's executive vice president of team development, but La Canfora says Tepper could pursue him and/or Caserio in 2020. Of course, the Panthers currently employ Marty Hurney as GM, and Hurney is a part of the team's head coach search following Ron Rivera's recent firing. But Tepper wants to add multiple people to his front office, and Hurney's role could change as a result.
One way or another, Caserio will almost certainly not return to New England, and he could have a number of options available to him. Indeed, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network says that the team's extension talks with Caserio have gone nowhere, and the Patriots are bracing for a number of defections from their front office (video link).
In related news, Tepper has officially sold his minority interest in the Steelers, as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Panthers Notes: Newton, HC Candidates, Bradberry
December 8th, 2019 at 10:43am CST by Rory Parks
Panthers QB Cam Newton will undergo foot surgery, and as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com writes, Newton is expected to be fully ready and able by March. Rapoport says Carolina has not ruled out retaining Newton — not that the team would publicly say anything different — but the expectation remains that the Panthers will look to trade the former No. 1 overall pick,
The QB market may be unusually robust in 2020, and Newton may be the most desirable piece. The Panthers will not give Newton away, but if they "get a large deal to make it worth their while," they will pull the trigger.
Now for more out of Charlotte:
Of course, what the Panthers do with Newton may depend on who they hire as their permanent head coach. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reiterates his view that the Panthers will seek an offensive-minded or QB-driven coach, and what that person thinks of Newton, Kyle Allen, and Will Grier could impact the club's offseason plans in a big way.
In the same piece linked above, Rapoport suggests that owner David Tepper will of course be on the lookout for a top-flight coordinator and someone who is unafraid to embrace analytics, but he suggests that Tepper's top priority will be a strong manager of people. RapSheet names ex-Packers coach Mike McCarthy, 49ers DC Robert Saleh, and Ravens OC Greg Roman as just a few of the possibilities.
Even if the Panthers retain GM Marty Hurney — which is not a guarantee — Adam Schefter of ESPN.com says Tepper, the former minority owner of the Steelers, could look to bring familiar faces from Pittsburgh to Carolina. Tepper plans to name an assistant general manager to focus on pro personnel evaluation and a vice president of football operations, and sources say he could be eyeing Steelers GM Kevin Colbert — whose contract is up at the end of the season — and/or vice president of football and business administration Omar Khan.
The Panthers have 28 players eligible for free agency this offseason, and Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic examines the decisions that the team will have to make with respect to a few of those players. The club just signed LB Shaq Thompson to a four-year extension, and Rodrigue's source says the Panthers have made CB James Bradberry their next top priority.

Latest On Panthers' Plans, Ron Rivera
December 4th, 2019 at 7:42pm CST by Sam Robinson
Some personnel executives around the league and on the NFL periphery believed David Tepper would make changes after last season, and Yahoo.com's Charles Robinson notes GM candidates were viewing the Panthers as a job that would be open earlier this year. Tepper opted against firing Ron Rivera and second-stint GM Marty Hurney after last season but was discussing over the summer plans to revamp the organization, beefing up its analytics commitment, Robinson adds. Tepper confirmed Tuesday he plans to hire an assistant GM, and Robinson adds the second-year owner is expected to bring in multiple high-ranking execs to contribute to the operation. In the wake of Rivera's ouster, Hurney's future with the team is obviously uncertain. New scouts are expected to be brought aboard soon as well, though Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk notes no scouts or execs were fired along with Rivera on Tuesday.
Here is the latest out of Carolina, coming off the firing of a two-time coach of the year.
Having been run by defensive coaches throughout their 25-year history — from Dom Capers to George Seifert to John Fox to Rivera — the Panthers are expected to pursue an offensive-minded leader, David Newton of ESPN.com writes. Tepper may not be leaning toward hiring a college coach. Although he's not dead-set against it, Newton adds the tougher transition for those coaches points to Tepper leaning in another direction. The Panthers are expected to pursue a younger coach who will support analytics more than Rivera did, per Newton. That's certainly not dissimilar to how most of the HC-needy teams proceeded during this year's hiring period.
Rivera broke the news to the coaching staff he had been fired, Albert Breer of SI.com tweets. Although Tepper praised Norv Turner and his son Scott, it's certainly possible the organization moves on from the father-son tandem after their two-year run in Charlotte. Norv Turner will move from Carolina's offensive coordinator to special assistant to the head coach, with Scott set for a four-game run as the team's OC.
The most famous player Rivera coached expressed his support for the only NFL HC he's known (Twitter link). Cam Newton, who will undergo surgery to repair his foot injury, is not certain to be back with the Panthers in 2020. One year remains on his contract.
Rivera revealed he wants to stay in coaching. The former Bears linebacker has been on an NFL sideline in each season since 1997.
Panthers Owner Discusses Coaching Change, Front Office, Future
December 3rd, 2019 at 6:38pm CST by Ben Levine
Panthers owner David Tepper was forced to make a difficult decision today, firing long-term coach Ron Rivera. Since Tepper took over ownership of the organization in 2018, he's had Rivera on the sideline. Now, the team will turn a page and start hunting for their next head coach.
Secondary coach Perry Fewell will serve as the Panthers head coach on an interim basis. The shakeup also will see offensive coordinator Norv Turner transition to special assistant to the head coach as quarterbacks coach Scott Turner moves to offensive coordinator. When it comes to the front office, GM Marty Hurney will keep his job, but Tepper revealed that he'll be searching for an assistant general manager and/or a vice president of football operations.
Tepper sat down with Bill Voth of Panthers.com (Twitter link) this afternoon to discuss the coaching change, the owner's outlook for the organization, and the team's future shuffling of the front office. We've snagged all of the notable soundbites below:
On why he decided to fire Ron Rivera:
"[It was] a very hard move. Ron Rivera, besides being a good coach, is one of the finest men I've ever met in my life.
"Look, I came here two years ago. I wanted to show patience on the football side to see how it was going. On the business side, we made vast and sweeping changes. I didn't want to make those vast and sweeping changes on the football side. I wanted to take time and patience to see how it could go.
"I just thought it was time, given the way things have gone the last two seasons, to put my stamp on the organization on the football side, as we've done on the business side of the organization. As much respect as I have for Ron, I think a change was appropriate to build things the way I want things to be built."
On why the move was made now instead of after the season:
"There are competitive reasons why I wanted to make sure we were out there looking at all personnel possible for the future. I didn't want to be having inquiries where Ron didn't know what I was doing.
"I didn't want to be doing things not upfront; thats not who I am. So I'd rather be straight-up and honest, and if I'm going to make a change, I'm going to make a change. And not to get a competitive disadvantage over other teams; if I need to talk to people, i want to talk to them, and I want to do it in a straight-forward, honest way."
On why Fewell was chosen as the interim head coach:
"I have different coaches on the staff and I'm looking at the future now. And the future is: who may I have as potential candidates for different roles. Perry is a person who can command a room, can be a general, and I think that he is the right person to have that interim role… and to be auditioning for that role in the future.
"As far as the other choice we'll probably make is to make Scott Turner a play-call offensive coordinator. In that respect, same thing: I want to see what Scott can do. Again, in an audition sort of way, see how he does it. He has some new ideas, and we'll see how they get implemented."
On the decision to move Norv Turner from offensive coordinator to special assistant to the head coach:
"Norv Turner is obviously still a tremendously knowledgable coach who I respect a lot. Norv has been around and is very knowledgable. Scott is potentially a future offensive coordinator of some sort. Why not see what he has to offer here."
On what he'll be looking for in a new head coach:
"What I want, just for the organization in general, is a mesh of old and new. Old football discipline. Modern processes, modern analytics, statistics, and the rest of that. But I respect old discipline, too. Listen, I was with a team in Pittsburgh that was the epitome of old-school discipline, so I want to see that brought in, I want to see that mesh. And what I want to have more than anything…I want to put the best people in the best positions to be successful. And I want those coaches to put our players on the field in the best positions to be successful, period.
"This whole process – they don't build Rome in a day. People think if I make a magic change today, it's going to make the organization better tomorrow… it is not. This is going to be a process."
On how an assistant GM can help the front office:
"Marty Hurney is one of the best recognizers of college talent in the nation. I don't want to lose that. And he's also not a bad manager. There's also new processes that I want to bring in. I think the modern football organization needs a couple people there [in the front office]."
On what today's move means for the future of the organization:
"As far as a process is concerned, it's the first step in a process. I'm making sure we have a standard of excellence on all sides of this business."

Latest On Ron Rivera's Future With Panthers
November 24th, 2019 at 10:01am CST by Rory Parks
Panthers owner David Tepper recently spoke with the media about the state of his team, though he specifically told reporters that he would not answer questions about head coach Ron Rivera. However, the fact that Tepper held the impromptu session at all led some members of the organization wondering about Rivera's future, as Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports writes.
Tepper was considering major changes last year, but he ultimately stuck with the status quo for 2019. The hedge fund billionaire purchased the club in 2018 and focused more on the business side of operations during his first year in charge, but he was clear about his desire to eventually become more involved in the football side. As such, 2019 was always going to be a defining year, and, in the wake of Carolina's recent slump — including last week's blowout loss to the 3-7 Falcons — Tepper is once again mulling a significant shakeup.
Rivera is under contract through 2020, though Tepper may be inclined to part ways in favor of a head coach with an offensive background and an analytics-based approach. Indeed, sources close to Tepper say that, barring a major turnaround, the owner is likely to make a change at season's end.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network (video link) confirms that the manner in which Rivera's 5-5 Panthers close out the season will go a long way towards determining his future in Carolina. Regardless of whether or not Tepper fires Rivera, the team will have to figure out what to do with QB Cam Newton, though Tepper said that no decision would be made in that regard until Newton is fully healthy.
Panthers Owner Discusses Cam Newton Injury
January 19th, 2019 at 11:14am CST by Ben Levine
There have been whispers that Cam Newton could sit out the 2019 campaign as he recovers from a sore right shoulder. While Panthers owner David Tepper didn't explicitly say that the Panthers franchise quarterback could miss the upcoming campaign, he did explain how that scenario could end up being a positive. Tepper specifically compared the situation to Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who missed the entire 2017 campaign before coming back for a productive 2018 season.
"If you told me he took a year off and could recover and be fully recovered and everything else, and that's what it took, an extra year, why wouldn't you do [that]?" Tepper told ESPN's David Newton. "Now we would have to do other things, right? We'd have to go out and get another quarterback. If you could find me some more cap space I'd appreciate that."
Through 14 games in 2018, Newton completed a career-high 67.9-percent of his passes for 3,395 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He also ran for another 488 yards and four scores. With strength in his shoulder fading, the Panthers decided to shut down Newton for the final two games of the season.
Tepper, who purchase the franchise for more than $2B back in May, recognizes that it would ultimately be in the organization's best interest if Newton is at full health.
"When you make a decision, this gets into business, or here … you want to keep your options open as much as possible," Tepper said. "And you want to put yourself in a position to win. Not a position to lose, but a position to win…That means keep your options open and try to have as much [cap] space as you possibly can.
"Hopefully, Cam's shoulder is fantastic, right? And we're hunky dory, all fantastic. If it's not, you may need more cap space. You may need to go out and find somebody. If you don't, you guys are going to be writing what a dope we are here. Why did we make these other moves? So think about that. You want to keep your options open, put yourself in best position as you can to win, and I'm talking again for the long term."
Newton detailed several ways the Panthers could open up cap space this winter, noting that they could clear $7.2MM by releasing offensive lineman Matt Kalil and another $3.5MM by releasing cornerback Captain Munnerlyn.
Coaching Notes: Kaczor, Redskins, Panthers, Goodwin
January 19th, 2019 at 8:56am CST by Ben Levine
The Redskins announced yesterday that they've hired Nate Kaczor as their new special teams coordinator. The long-time coach had interviewed with the organization earlier this week.
"We are excited to have Nate join our staff. We have had the opportunity to face his special teams play during his time at Tampa Bay and respected competing against him," said head coach Jay Gruden. "He is a competitor and we have noticed and admired the intensity his units have played with through the course of his time as a special teams coordinator and assistant coach in the NFL."
Kaczor had spent the past three seasons in the same role with the Buccaneers, and he previously served as the Titans' special teams coordinator. He also had a stint as an assistant with the Jaguars. Prior to his tenure in the NFL, Kaczor spent 17 years in the NCAA, with jobs at Idaho and Nebraska-Kearney.
Let's check out some more coaching notes from around the NFL…
Panthers owner David Tepper told reports that he didn't want to "make rash decision[s]" on the status of head coach Ron Rivera and general manager Marty Hurney (via Joe Person of The Athletic on Twitter). Ultimately, the owner judge the duo throughout the entire 2018 season (not just the stretch run), and this led to him retaining the pair for the 2019 season.
Buccaneers assistant head coach Harold Goodwin wasn't happy that Steve Wilks lost his job with the Cardinals, noting that his friend never got a chance to succeed. "That hurt a little bit," Goodwin told ESPN's Jenna Laine. "He's a friend of mine. We worked together back in the day with the Bears. It's hard to build something from the ground up with one year. It's like, 'Hey, I want you to start this Fortune 500 company, but you've got one year.' That's impossible. And that's what he was tasked with."
Goodwin also grumbled about the lack of minority hires around the NFL, noting that teams really don't take the Rooney Rule seriously. "Every time I went in to interview, 'You don't call plays.' Well, I did call plays in the preseason," Goodwin said. "Are we looking for play-callers or are we looking for leaders? Leaders of men, who can help build an organization from the ground up on the football side…The next excuse was, 'Well, we don't like your staff.' A lot of my staff is still coaching. Some guys are coordinators in the NFL now that have had a lot of success that were on my list."
We learned yesterday that the Cardinals added another name to their offensive coordinator search, as former Browns head coach Hue Jackson is scheduled to interview for the gig.

Panthers Owner David Tepper Considering Major Changes
December 2nd, 2018 at 12:08pm CST by Rory Parks
When David Tepper purchased the Panthers for over $2.2 billion earlier this year, he indicated that he was comfortable with the team's coaching and management situation and was not looking to make major changes. However, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports writes that Tepper is growing increasingly uneasy with the status quo and has told those close to him that he may need to make those changes after all.
The Panthers got out to a hot start in 2018 but have lost three in a row and now find themselves on the fringes of the NFC playoff picture. Tepper is reportedly concerned about the dearth of modern analytics in the team's operations, and the team's regression on defense and a few questionable in-game decisions by head coach Ron Rivera have added to Tepper's worries.
Rivera has served as Carolina's head coach since 2011, and he has generally been quite successful, having compiled a 70-52-1 record and an NFC Championship. His job security has come into question a couple of times over the course of his tenure, but it was expected that Tepper, a former minority owner of the Steelers, would want to bring the Steeler Way to Carolina. In other words, he was expected to champion the ideals of continuity and stability, particularly with respect to someone like Rivera, who has established a mostly strong track record with the club.
GM Marty Hurney, who is in his second stint leading Carolina's front office, was hired as the interim GM in 2017 and had the interim label removed earlier this year. If Rivera's status is up in the air at this point, Hurney's probably is as well.
Of course, the Panthers are still more than capable of qualifying for the playoffs and making a deep run, which would probably make all of this a moot point. Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer tweets that Tepper has been consistently communicative with the team's front office and coaching staff about where they stand, though Rodrigue concedes that much will depend on how the Panthers perform down the stretch.
If Tepper does decide to part ways with Rivera, he may have his pick of the top head-coaching candidates. The roster already has plenty of talent, and Tepper himself is seen as bright, engaged, and progressive. The team's GM position would be similarly attractive for those reasons.
La Canfora says that Tepper's confidants have urged him to remain patient, but it sounds as if Rivera and Hurney could be on their way out if Carolina does not make the postseason.
South Notes: Tepper, Mariota, Bucs
June 3rd, 2018 at 11:20am CST by Rory Parks
David Tepper may have been a minority owner of the Steelers before purchasing the Panthers for a league-record $2.275 billion, but he does not exactly fit the mold of your prototypical NFL owner. In a fascinating piece on the self-made billionaire, Kent Babb of the Washington Post describes how the enigmatic, unpolished Tepper could clash with the majority of the league's straightlaced owners, and he wonders whether the league will ultimately change Tepper, or if Tepper might change the league. One way or another, Babb's piece is worth a read.
Now for more from the league's south divisions:
Despite some concerns that Titans QB Marcus Mariota could require a clean-up procedure on his knee this offseason, Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com says Mariota never had such a procedure and that he has looked like his usual self in spring practices thus far. Wyatt adds that, while Blaine Gabbert appears to be entrenched as Mariota's backup going into the 2018 season, the team is more likely to keep Luke Falk as the No. 3 QB rather than risk sneaking him onto the practice squad.
The top four spots on the Buccaneers' WR depth chart are already spoken for, but Bobo Wilson, a 2017 UDFA who spent much of his rookie campaign on Tampa Bay's practice squad, is making his case to stick around. As Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times writes, head coach Dirk Koetter has spoken highly of Wilson, who will compete for reps with 2018 fifth-rounder Justin Hunter. Wilson also has the ability to return kicks, which will certainly help his cause.
The Buccaneers traded a fourth- and sixth-round pick in this year's draft to move up to the No. 94 overall selection, which they used to select Humboldt State OL Alex Cappa. Auman believes that Cappa may not be a starter right away, but that he will quickly push for a job as a regular on the offensive line (Twitter link).
Larry Holder of the Times-Picayune believes the Saints were wise to put a "ceiling price" on big-name free agents like Jimmy Graham and Ndamukong Suh this offseason, and he says the approach to Graham and Suh was emblematic of the team's overall effort to rely more on young, cheap talent rather than high-priced veterans. That shift has been difficult because of New Orleans' poor draft record in recent years, but while the Saints have a long way to go, Holder says they are moving in the right direction. Indeed, although the offense is heavy on expensive contracts, the defense is largely built on youth and thrift.
Texans head coach Bill O'Brien and GM Brian Gaine have specific physical characteristics in mind for every player they draft or sign, and they do not like to make exceptions to those parameters, as Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com writes. O'Brien's and Gaine's goal is to create a roster full of "big, strong, physical" players, and while their offseason acquisitions clearly reflect that philosophy, it is now incumbent upon O'Brien and his staff to mold his roster into a playoff contender.
Bobo Wilson
NFL Approves David Tepper's Panthers Purchase
May 22nd, 2018 at 1:20pm CST by Zach Links
No surprise here. On Tuesday, NFL owners voted to approve hedge fund manager David Tepper as the new owner of the Panthers.
Tepper is no stranger to the NFL community thanks to his time as a minority owner of the Steelers, so his approval at the Atlanta meetings was viewed as a mere formality. Between now and the finalization of his purchase – which is expected to take place in July – he'll sell his 5% stake in the Steelers.
Tepper is paying $2.2 billion in cash for the club, plus another $75MM in deferred payment, bringing the total purchase price to a league record $2.275 billion. Tepper's bid may not have been the highest of the bunch as there have been rumblings of bids in the $2.5 billion range.
The transaction sets a new watermark for the league and bodes well for future club values as television rights are expected to increase. The country's relaxation of sports gambling laws should also aid the league's growth and the next owner to sell his franchise could conceivably receive $2.5 billion.
The sale to Tepper also allows the league to quickly move on from the Jerry Richardson scandal of 2017. On Tuesday, Richardson will give a farewell address to his colleagues.

How Do You Kill a City?
There are any number of ways to kill a city.
There are natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires or volcanic eruptions which can completely wipe out a city entirely, Waveland, Miss.
These events usually come quickly and hopefully without any loss of life.
Then there have been cities that have been killed by their own hand. One city comes to mind in Southwest Alabama. This city was located on a main highway that preyed on transit auto traffic by issuing speeding tickets in order to generate revenue. (That was before traffic cameras much like the ones Millington uses.) The way it worked was simple. Just prior to entering the city limits, the state speed limit was 50 mph. Then the speed limit would drop dramatically to a much lower speed, like 30 mph, within a very short distance.
Guess what, a cop with a radar gun would be just beyond the posted "30 mph" sign and zap, you would be pulled over and be given a citation for speeding. Then you would be escorted to the city hall to pay your fine. You could either pay the fine or serve 30 days in jail. After national outrage, the state of Alabama revoked the city's charter.
Now this little town is just a wide spot in the road. I guess you might say that the death of this city was by the state "execution" of a judicial action. Then there is the death of a city by its own hand, suicide, which in my opinion is the worst of all possible deaths that could happen to a city.
This is a death due to many, many bad decisions made by the city leaders over a long period of time usually based on either ignorance, greed or stupidity or a combination of all the aforementioned.
In the case of Millington, a decision was made a very long time ago to "stifle" the growth of the city. This incredibility stupefying decision to deliberately stunt the growth of Millington was made by the surrounding big land owners. The reasoning was simple, "If Millington didn't grow, then they the local planters, wouldn't have to compete with any other local businesses for the existing labor pool of workers who lived in and around Millington." This was told to me by a person who should know and has lived in Millington for 80-plus years and has been very involved in Millington politics and policies. I personally know this to be true because when I ran for alderman, another candidate told me when I asked why Millington had not grown like other municipalities in Shelby County that, "What was good for Millington in 1955 was good for Millington today." That was in 1996.
I couldn't believe what I had just heard. That was, without doubt, the stupidest thing that I had ever heard!! That pervasive mindset has endured to this day and has become the basis for any and every decision regarding the operation of Millington to this very day.
In order for a city to survive, IT MUST GROW! Growth equates to revenue and if you don't have one then you don't have the other! That is why Millington has just had borrowed $5 million and is having to pay a service fee of $2.4 million. Because Millington does not have the revenue to pay the service fee on the loan, on June 9, 2015 the alderpersons decided rescinded Resolution 2013-13 which they had put into place in order to protected the revenue from the new ½ cent sales tax that was to be used "exclusively" for the purpose of the establishment and operation of the Millington School System.
That was that Resolution 2013-13 said. That means the each and every day the Millington Schools lose $2,222 of revenue that is desperately needed. I have been told that in the very near future the Millington school System will need up to $15 million plus to teardown the old unused buildings on campus and to build new badly needed facilities.
I believe and have said many times, "The cornerstone of any successful community is a successful school system!" Maybe, just maybe if we can make the schools here in Millington something special then people just might consider living here! What a novel idea!! The choice is yours! CHOOSE WISELY! Hold those who control the money, the city alderpersons and mayor accountable for their actions! If the Millington Schools are not fully funded, and I don't mean by anteing up the minimum required by state law but rather go above and beyond what is required, that to me is being fully funded! The alternative is that the Millington School System will fail and the operation will be turned over to the combined Shelby County school system. Believe me, I do not think that is something that you would want to happen!
That would truly be the straw that broke the camels back! Why would anyone want to move to a city that has extremely limited employment opportunities, little to no housing to choose from, no businesses and most of all does not have control of its school system. Enough said!


As the sulphur content in crude oil rises, many refineries are increasingly relying on Claus plants to increase flexibility in handling feed gas composition variations. Claus plants convert concentrated hydrogen sulphide (H2S) fractions into elemental sulphur. They can also remove pollutants, particularly by decomposing ammonia.
However, environmental regulations continue to tighten, putting growing pressure on Claus sulphur recovery processes and this step can become a bottleneck within the refinery.
You can overcome this problem by enriching the combustion air in a Claus plant with oxygen. This increases the capacity significantly. Our innovative burner technology ensures excellent mixing of hydrogen sulphide and oxygen-enriched air over a wide load range.
• Ease of installation with minimum disruption to plant operation.
We have the technology and expertise to enable all levels of oxygen enrichment – from low levels through mid levels up to 100% oxygen with our SURE burner technology. Our SURE solution is a tip mixed design offering low pressure drop, operational flexibility and enhanced contaminant destruction.

Psychological distress in refugee children
Allen, Claire
What is this? The COVID-19 pandemic is causing considerable stress to migrants and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Children, especially those who are defined as refugees or IDPs, are vulnerable to the psychological effects of traumatic stressors during their migration process. Research into the mental health epidemiology of refugee children can provide evidence to inform interventions. In this systematic review, the authors searched for studies of the epidemiology of mental health in refugee and asylum-seeking children who were in Western countries. They restricted their search to studies published between 2003 and 2008 and did the search in February 2008. They included 22 studies from six countries of asylum (3003 children, originally from more than 40 countries). What was found: Studies varied in definition and measurement of problems among the children, but these included post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (in 19% to 54% of children), depression (3% to 30%) and varying degrees of emotional and behavioral problems. Demographic variables, cumulative traumatic pre-migration experiences and post-migration stressors appear to influence levels of distress among in refugee and asylum-seeking children in Western countries. What's uncertain: The comparison of data regarding the prevalence of mental health issues among refugee children is challenging because of the influence of various contextual variables that affect distress, such as demographic factors, post-migration stressors such as obtaining asylum status, and available levels of support.

The writer tries to search the God but on the other hand, he obeys the God ways. These lines of the writer are so touchy and everyone should search the God if they want to success in this world. This is such an amazing informative idea.
The abstracts alteration is way faster too and the bandwidth is added reliable because the annual or autograph speeds are faster authoritative the servers added competent.


Vitalism was once central to the prescientific ideas about biology but was later abandoned to the enormous benefit of the discipline. These days, many CAM approaches want to bring it back.
One of the common themes in biology and medicine is the feeling that somehow there must be more. Creationist cults simply know that life must be more than matter, and mind-body dualists (which includes most alternative medicine advocates) are certain that humans are more than an "ugly bag of mostly water" (sorry for the geek reference). If you can stick with me here, I'll explain to you a bit of the history surrounding this fallacy.
Most of us intuitively feel that we are both a body and a person. In every day life, it makes a certain operational sense to think of our "mind" as being something distinct. From a biological standpoint, however, this doesn't work as well.
Biology was one of the last of the "natural philosophies" to become a science. It was clear to those who studied chemistry and physics that certain principles seemed to explain the natural world, but those who studied living things were mostly involved in description. Still, biology has become a science in its own right. According to Ernst Mayr, one of the greatest biologists of the last century, a number of events preceded biology being recognized as a legitimate science. One vital event was the recognition that all biological processes were constrained by the laws of physics and chemistry. Another important step was the rejection of two erroneous principles: vitalism, and teleology.
Teleology is the idea that there is some larger end-point or goal that drives biological processes, such as the idea of the ladder of ascent where the development of life has had, as its goal, the creation of more and more complex forms. Darwin's synthesis of natural selection and evolution pretty much destroyed this idea. Clearly, if stochastic processes can drive the changes we see in living beings, determinism is out the door. Evolution has elements that are random (changes in environment, mutations, etc.) but other elements that are decidedly non-random (for example, convergent adaptations are difficult to call "random"—sure the processes that underlie them are random, but these processes and pressures lead to a non-random result). But from a "cosmic" standpoint, there is no room left for teleologic explanations.
More offensive to me as a physician is the idea of vitalism. This ancient principle says that the difference between living and non-living things is some sort of non-material vital force. As the natural philosophers of the last few centuries became more sophisticated, they worked with this assumption and tried to define it scientifically. For example, it was felt that organic and inorganic matter differed in that, if melted with heat, only inorganic matter could re-crystalize naturally with the removal of the heat source (since we obviously cannot add that essential vital force). This seemed to give a "scientific" way of testing whether or not something was from a "living" source. If this were found to be true, it might pave the way for more experiments that could help show that there must be some sort of "elan vital" that animates living matter. In 1828, a chemist named Friedrich Wohler synthesized urea, an organic compound, from two inorganic compounds. In other words, he created "life" from "non-life".
This, and experiments like it, effectively destroyed the best attempt to use knowledge of natural laws to divide living from non-living systems. The implications were probably unimportant to Wohler and many others, but from a modern perspective, this is seen as the beginning of the end for vitalism.
The death of vitalism, and the discovery of genetics, allowed biology to grow into a mature scientific discipline. There are no processes in biology that have not been amenable to scientific investigation or that have required a deus ex machina to fully understand. That doesn't mean that vitalism is dead. Since we, as human beings, operationally see ourselves and both "mind" and "body", we will always be tempted to think vitalistically.
This is especially true in the most anthropocentric of sciences, medicine. All alternative medicine is based on the idea that we are more than biology, that there is some force, some elan vital that animates us and elevates us.
Chiropractic uses the concept of "vertebral subluxation complexes" that block the flow of vital energy, despite the lack of any evidence for these things.
Acupuncture, reiki, and other "energy therapies" claim to affect the role of qi, or vital energy, a non-organic, immeasurable force that animates us. Such a vital force has never been found.
Homeopathy makes claims that some sort of magic happens to water when they shake it just right. In this case, it's actually the water that has some sort of vital force imposed upon it, but then this magic water is supposed to be able to affect human biology via a presumably equally invisible and immeasurable process.
If something is immeasurable and un-observable, either directly or indirectly, then it is not medically relevant. Remember, if you are claiming that an intervention is helping a patient, then you are claiming that it is measurable and observable.
If a measurable, observable phenomenon is better explained by known physical laws than by a vitalistic explanation, then why make up a silly, non-reality-based explanation?
Vitalism, an ancient and discredited philosophy, has become irrelevant in modern thinking with two important exceptions: alternative medicine, and religion. That, right there, should tell you something important.


"I am worth it," is the motto cadets are taught when they first join the Armed Forces. It is also the message the day's events left the students of Nasr with.
The programme commenced with the student council being invested by Air Commodore R.K. Oberoi- the Chief Guest for the day, and as the students marched proudly to the beat of the drum, the Indian flag was hoisted. The march past was followed by impassioned dance numbers based on the theme "Different Facets of a Woman". The dances were choreographed and performed by the students, who wove a beautiful story of strength and vulnerability through their movements. The tiny tots of pre-primary also joined the celebrations with an action song expressing their patriotic fervour. Riding this wave of emotion, the band graced us with a rousing musical number. Students who had topped in last year's ISC exams were invited to collect their gold medals donated by various dignitaries, and merit prizes were bestowed upon star holders. The band and choir also received certificates for their unrelenting enthusiasm and hard work, after which awards were distributed to houses for their respective achievements.
The interactive session held with the lady officers Air Commodore R.K. Oberoi invited with him, was one of the many highlights of the day. The students were given an opportunity to ask them about their trajectory in traditionally patriarchal fields and the requirements of such professions.
The day ended thus, on a jubilant note having celebrated the sacrifice of our freedom fighters and the students' accomplishments.

Men In Black Spinoff Release Date June 2019
Sony has recently announced that they have changed the date on their upcoming Men In Black spinoff. The currently untitled movie was originally scheduled for May 17, 2019, and now has been moved a month later to June 14, 2019. This puts the film in competition with the Shaft remake, a film from the 2000s that starred Samuel L. Jackson as a police detective on a vigilante mission.
The Men In Black spinoff is written by Matt Holloway and Art Marcum, who have also written for Iron Man and Transformers: The Last Knight. One of the producers of the spinoff, Walter F. Parkes, has complimented the writers for their script.
He states that "it's so rare to get to the end of the script and know you're holding a movie in your hands." Parkes explains that the spinoff will not star Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones but it will stay "true to the core of the MiB world" and expand the universe "to a fresh new place."
That fresh place will apparently be on a global scale, and not confined to one city like the earlier films in the series. It will be built on the original Men In Black much like Jurassic World did for Jurassic Park. In fact, Steven Spielberg is an executive producer for the spinoff and is actively involved in making sure this one gets it right.
There is currently no director attached to the project, not even any rumors yet. More information will likely come closer to the release date of the film.
Nonetheless, it is a good excuse to watch the original Men In Black over again. Both Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were certainly an unlikely pair back then. No one expected Smith's comedy to work so well with Jones' more serious career in drama, especially after films like The Fugitive and House of Cards. The result was brilliant. Men In Black is all kinds of cheese, but it still holds up after all this time. If a spinoff will. is another story.

Show more(Alva's) original collection in the Archive spans eight years, 1976-1985, ages 5 to 13. The full collection contains 952 items, which are reproduced on microfiche in the Reference Edition. The collection stands out for (Alva's) attention to composition. She uses boundaries, framing, corner treatments, and lines to divide the space of a page. Pattern, repetition, symmetry, and layering appear across the collection and within individual pieces. Lines, bands, panels, and columns recur, with a preference for the vertical, but also intersecting lines and bands. (Alva) uses a variety of media, including chalk, cray-pas, pencil, crayon, colored pencil, watercolor, tempera, printing, rubbings, marbling, and collage, and she mixes media within a piece of work. Consistent motifs include natural and outdoor scenes, animals (often in groups), hills, suns, water, houses with trees and flowers, bursts of color, and patterned or geometric forms. Vivid color permeates the visual collection. Much of (Alva's) written work deals with relationship, with strong feeling at the core. The strength of feeling is contained by a style that is structured and attentive to detail and by a straightforward tone. Animals (especially horses and mice) in her written work experience changes of relationship and feeling. Relationships among people are explored as well, and in her later work values of equality and justice come to the fore.

Show more(Emma's) original collection in the Archive spans nine years, 1976-1985, ages 5 to almost 14. The full collection contains 1588 items, which are reproduced on microfiche in the Reference Edition. (Emma's) work is colorful; characteristically these colors are lush rather than primary and the color combinations can be offbeat. Small imaginary worlds, landscapes, and, from her third year of school on, abstract designs (symmetric early on, later more syncopated), are favorite subjects. A charged atmosphere is sometimes created through such means as scribbled lines or transparency. "Light shining through" recurs. Her style includes fine but quick detail and qualities of lyricism and rhythm along with humor. The consistency across the collection is part of the evidence of persistence, of sustained effort. Each year shows increasing technical command of a widening range of media, with an explosion of productivity and emotional power in the later years. The later years include many drawings from life. (Emma's) unassigned writing throughout the file is often in the style of a fairy tale in which (Emma) is the storyteller describing small worlds, magical transformations. There are also reports of historical events retold in quick, conversational style. Poetry and fictional work often rely on a strong sense of animation, sometimes making subjects out of colors or mundane objects, often in the context of family-like relationships. Some of the later writing shows a more self-reflective side. Throughout the file there is a breathless vivaciousness.

Show more(Gus') original collection in the Archive spans 8 years, 1972-1980, ages 5 years and 4 months to 13 years and 4 months. The full collection contains 870 items, which are reproduced on microfiche in the Reference Edition. Houses and dwellings are prominent in (Gus') work, often elaborated with strong color applied in contiguous blocks or patterns ofstripes or grids, with variations in chimneys and other elements that indicate the form is a structure for variation. Ghosts, monsters, robots, and vehicles appear in his work, although with inattention or ambiguity as to setting or narrative. He experiments with ways of using visual media to represent invisible forces in physics and spirit. In pictures and stories, sports and popular culture are a motif. In stories, as well as in visual work, there can be a shift from the particular and present, to a more ambiguous space/time. An implied largeness is worked, as it were meditatively, through ordered repetition and variation of color or elements. Number, pattern, and color are important and serve as means of relationship, though relationship may also be conveyed by, for example, a tree leaning into another. The largeness and general absence of story or continuous action evoke a sense of archetypal forms or ideas and of incipience, beginning, or promise. Non-figurative work is particularly abundant at ages 8-9, 10-11, and 12-13. The quantity of visual work falls off in the last two years of the collection, but suggests involvement with large ideas of space, time, and spirit. His production of writing increases somewhat. In writing and in visual works, he explores themes of world citizenry and personal self-determination. His writing style remains lean, spare.

Show more(Iris') original collection in the Archive spans 8 years, 1978-1986, from ages 5 years to 12 years and 9 months. The full collection contains 1,544 items, which are reproduced on microfiche in the Reference Edition. (Iris') work is full of people. Both the visual work and writing reveal a deep sense of wonder about human activity, the internal life of people and the nature of relationships. (Iris') figures are highly expressive, full of movement and emotion. (Iris) captures human qualities, like wickedness, in details of clothing, hairstyle and facial expression. Portraits of striking women appear throughout the work, some with mysterious, dream-like qualities. (Iris) also tells stories, first with drawings of favorite fairy tales, then writing her own. Houses also appear. Drawings of exteriors show an interest in structure and design, and cross-sections revealing the "story" of each room through furnishings and activities of characters. Houses also hold secrets, concealed staircases, and hidden treasure. Humor runs through the visual work and writing with a particular emphasis on mischief and trickery. Drawings made with marker and pencil predominate. The line is quite varied, and color ranges from vibrant to drab. Painted landscapes and perspective appear later. (Iris) uses a form, the arch, for multiple purposes. It appears as window, door, face, and repeated pattern. (Iris') writing begins as simple journal entries about school, friends and family. Over time it expands to include poems and other reflective pieces on time, change, history, war and peace, and the natural world. There are also lengthy serialized stories. Conversation, and especially dialogue, dominates the writing during (Iris') fifth year (age 9). Stories read like scripts. In the later years, poetry becomes a means of expressing complex moral/philosophical ideas concerning human nature, which remains a persistent interest for (Iris).

Can a Trust Reduce the Death Tax?

There are many types of trusts. Some help reduce the federal estate tax and others do not.


GWERU -As efforts to grow the film industry in Zimbabwe gains momentum, government has organised film production sponsorship through the ZimDigital programme which is decentralizing and capacitating content production in all Provinces.
Midlands has not been left out with three productions having been completed so far under the first phase of the project.
The Midlands productions include Heritage, a crime drama series, Three Strand Chord focusing on love and relationships as well as Comedy Sitcom Nashville Heights which are set to take the Midlands film industry to the next level, if not Zimbabwe.
On focus now is the hilarious 'Nashvillians', as this reporter takes a closer look at one of the key supporting acts in the comedy, Ms Isaacs played by a multi-talented 33 year old lady, Jacinta Mcthuizen.
First things first, a brief overview of who or what Nashville Heights is all about; well, this is a humorous tale of, Jason (played by Darlington Mutasa), an employed young man who moves out of his parents' house to experience an independent life, in the process ends up with crazy friends and workmates who will keep the audience in stitches with their antics. Ms Isaacs is Jason's boss.
Mcthuizen begins by taking us through on who Ms Isaacs is in the Nashville Heights storyline and how it was, playing the Ms Isaacs "madam boss" character.
"In the comedy, Ms Isaacs is a business owner who runs a construction company and works with the main character Jason as a junior accountant.
"Ms Isaacs's character is like really stern, when she is around all the craziness that happens in the office has to end, everything has to be in order, like the real madam boss who likes all things on point," she said.
Mcthuizen says despite the seriousness, the comedy in the character now comes with the way her subordinates react to her and also how she reacts to them with that seriousness as she is always up on their backs making sure things are done and breaking up the office 'mukuhwa' (gossip), as she says.
She said adapting into the character as a first timer in the acting industry was a bit difficult but quite fun with the technical crew in the production making it easy for her.
"It was tough because I hadn't acted before and this is my first time in the film industry.
"It was a stepping stone towards the arts, talk of the confidence, breaking of the anxiety, being able to be in character and interact with other characters, being able to change Jacinta into Ms Isaacs.
"That was actually quite fun though because being the stern one around trying to maintain order but surrounded by these people who are always causing havoc was quite an experience," she said.
"As a production, we became a family, working together and paying attention to things like time, getting used to the schedules and having fun but knowing that when it's on set, it's time for business.
"Kudos to Tariro Chingozho, our producer; He took us through the learning experience in acting and treated us like family.
"The Director, Mr (Victor) Nyamayedenga did a great job on the production; he was the serious one around both on the technical and cast side making sure things are done.
"Nyamayedenga to me is a good teacher, a good mentor always giving us guidance and ensuring everyone is in character and it was an honour to have worked with him knowing that he was once a nominee at the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA)," she said.
A closer look at Mcthuizen the person, she was born of a mixed race in 1985 at the Gweru Provincial Hospital.
She is what most may refer to as 'colored' but she prefers saying she is of 'mixed race'.
"My dad was Euro-African, born of the original black and original Australian while my mom was born of an Africana and Euro-African, some may say I am colored but I classify myself as mixed race, I believe I am more black than white," she said.
Bred in Gweru, the dreadlocked Mcthuizen went to Cecil John Rhodes (CJR) Primary School before proceeding to Chaplin High School in the late 90s.
She wasn't so lucky to have acquired tertiary education but was blessed with the talent of music which she pursued and made her who she is today.
Mcthuizen is a proud mother of two boys, Stephano and Raylen and currently engaged to Jekai Rihwaya.
She loves gardening, composing music, socializing and getting to know new people.
Mcthuizen said her future endeavor, on a lighter note, is learning isiNdebele as she is currently fluent in chiShona.
She looks forward to more productions in the future and discovering her place in the film industry as an actress.
As a musician, she has been singing in her local Roman Catholic Church Choir for the past 18 years.
'LadyBird,' as she is known on the professional music circles, has two songs so far to her name on radio, 'Only You'and 'Praise to the Most High'.

The Mtl Inc. FoundHers program returns in force for a third year
MONTRÉAL, January 12, 2021 – The Mtl inc. program dedicated exclusively to women who want to start a business returns for a third edition with a new name:FoundHers.
Called the "Women's Entrepreneurship program" for the first two editions, the program today makes its new name official by launching its call for applications to find women with a business idea. This third edition confirms the program's importance for Mtl inc. and the Montréal entrepreneurial community at a time when only 15% of entrepreneurs in Montréal are women.
"Women are more affected by the current pandemic," according to Liette Lamonde, Executive Director of Mtl inc. "The purpose of this program is to help women turn their ideas into action. It is even more relevant this year, when they are facing constraints that existed before the crisis and that have been exacerbated ever since."
Starting today, and until February 12, Montréal women can apply to be part of the cohort of women entrepreneurs guided by experts from Montreal's business community so they have everything they need to start their own business. In addition, one future woman entrepreneur will be awarded a $5000 grant at the end of the course.
"For this edition, the formula resumes in virtual mode as adopted last year," explains Naouel Hanani, Director, Operations at Mtl inc. "The last two years allowed us to test the approach and take the pulse of the business community. This culminated in a program that will enable the selected women to shine to their full potential."
FoundHers allows women with a business idea to be supported and guided to make their project a reality. The program breaks down into two intensive 17-week courses. The Boost Course covers 5 weeks and the Lift Course, reserved for 10 selected participants, will last up to mid-July.
The 3rd edition of FoundHers is presented by BMO, in collaboration with Explorance and Ubisoft. To learn more, visit the program's page.

Ben Lomond has been on my list of munros to climb for so long but I wanted to wait until I knew it was going to be a clear day (which isn't very often in Scotland) there was no way I was putting myself through that climb to then not be able to see anything at the top. No thaaaanks!
Ben Lomond is one of the most popular munros with an average of 30,000 climbers every year with the views overlooking Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Situated in Rowardennan, just past Balloch and Balmaha, along the B837, it sits at 974 metres and is also known as the 'beacon mountain' – I've never heard anyone say that it's a particularly difficult climb but compared to some of the other ones I've climbed, I thought it was pretty tough especially nearer the top, with varying steepness the full way up.
The plan was to be on the road for half 9 but of course, that was never going to happen. It took around an hour and 15 minutes from just outside Glasgow, there is a car park at the foot of the hill, (parking is £3 all day) it is usually really busy, so I would advise getting there early. We got there around 12, with our wee M&S packed lunches – we're classy like that, and hangover free for a change. The start is clearly marked, just behind the car park but there will be plenty of people to keep you right, you can't see the summit from the car park but the start is pretty easy with a clear path all the way up through oak woods and lots of forestry.
Shortly into your forest climb, you will cross a small bridge and then through 2 gates. The nice thing about this walk is that if you look back behind you at any point, you have stunning views over the loch, looking over to Inverbeg and all the islands. The path then continues to climb at a steady gradient and you will pass through heards of sheep and cows who are very photogenic. This part took us around an hour – it is long and as you can't yet see the peak, can be frustrating. However, the views are incredible all around and there's usually plenty of puppers to pet!
Keep walking and you will now be able to see the final peak and the zig zagging path that leads you to the summit. Don't freak out, it's not as hard as it looks! We decided to stop for lunch here as we could feel it was getting colder and were beginning to come across some snow and ice. Que the posh sandwiches and Magic Stars!
Following the path as it sticks to the ridge of the mountain, there are some more stunning views over the loch where the path then climbs steeply on the final ascent to the summit ridge before curving round to the left. We finally made it to the top where it was FREEZING!!! We lasted all of 5 minutes but OMG the view! Breath taking doesn't cut it. Totally worth my complaining the full way (sorry Laura) …. Got our Instagram worthy picture and started our retreat to the car. If you want to challenge yourself, there is a tough alternative route going back down but I'm going to assume you're all sane and would just re-trace your steps back down.
This was by far my favourite munro, it wasn't the hardest to climb and the views were incrediable the whole way up – WIN! WIN! I would recommend plenty of layers and walking boots 100%. The temperature, ground level was 6 degrees and -3 degrees at the top. When I did the cobbler a few weeks ago – I seen people passing us in FLIP FLOPS! … Insanity. Anyway, there is usually snow and ice the further up you go so wrap up kids!
