Packers' Playoff Picture: What Week 16 Means for the NFC North
The Packers' chances of making the playoffs are in serious but stable condition as the penultimate week of the NFL season nears.

Share All sharing options for: Packers' Playoff Picture: What Week 16 Means for the NFC North
Hi, remember me? I'm the guy who told you this might happen. And so it came to pass that Detroit couldn't get out of its own way, and Matt Flynn did what competent backups are supposed to do, and the Packers and Bears now control their own destinies which just goes to show you how ridiculous the idea of destiny truly is. Anyway, here's what you need to know for next week and beyond in the race for the NFC North title.
1. The Bears can clinch the division this week. The Packers and Lions cannot. The Lions can be eliminated.
One of the odd things about this week is that if the Packers win, the Bears game (which is in prime-time on Sunday night against the Eagles) doesn't matter one bit as far as Green Bay is concerned. The reason is that due to the Packers' tie, Green Bay will either be ahead or behind Chicago by half a game, meaning that the last game will decide the division either way. Should the Packers stumble against Pittsburgh they'll need some help from the Eagles (and Giants or Vikings) to stay in the race. If the Packers and Bears both win, the Lions are done. There are no scenarios in which the Packers can lose to the Bears in week 17 and still make the playoffs.
2. The Bears are pretty likely to lose to the Eagles.
NFC North Standings
Chicago Bears: 8-6
Green Bay Packers: 7-6-1
Detroit Lions: 7-7
Minnesota Vikings: 4-9-1
This may sound silly given that the Eagles are fresh off getting destroyed by an Adrian Peterson-less Vikings team, but just as the Eagles were a tough matchup for the Lions a week ago, they are an even worse matchup for the Bears. The Eagles are, by almost all metrics, the best running team in football. They grade out first in Pro Football Focus's metrics with a 27.2, and currently lead Football Outsiders' DVOA by a significant amount in rush offense.
The Bears, on the other hand, have one of the worst rush defenses I've ever seen. They are last in almost any metric that matters. Pro Football Focus has the defense at a staggering -113.3 grade. The Redskins, who boast the 2nd worst rush defense, have a -61.4 grade. The difference between the worst and 2nd worst teams is as wide as the difference between Washington and the 8th-worst Tampa Bay Bucs, with room to spare.
DVOA is no kinder to Chicago, as only the Chargers are worse and the difference is negligible. This is a strength vs. weakness matchup, and while the Bears' offense may be able to keep them in the game (as the Philadelphia defense is pretty sorry itself), the Bears' defense is likely to have no answer for the Eagles' offense. If you have Shady McCoy in your fantasy football finals this week, you could not ask for a better matchup. With Peanut Tillman done for the year, their pass defense is no great shakes either.
As previously stated, this doesn't do much for the Packers if they beat the Steelers, but will help provide some breathing room if the Packers lose.
3. The Steelers are a tough matchup for the Packers.
The Steelers Defense isn't especially good, but more importantly, it's not especially bad.
This is especially true if Matt Flynn plays. Flynn has played admirably over the last two weeks. Staging comebacks of the magnitude of the one he just pulled off is extremely difficult and Flynn deserves all the praise in the world for beating the Falcons and Cowboys, but if ever you were to construct defenses to allow a backup QB to stage a massive comeback you couldn't do much better than the Falcons and Cowboys. The Steelers aren't especially good, but more importantly, they're not especially bad. While the Cowboys and Falcons will occasionally help out a struggling offense with boneheaded plays, you have to generate your own success against the Steelers. This will be Flynn's toughest test since the Lions. The Steelers rank 20th overall on defense by PFF and 20th by DVOA. 20th may not sound like much but they are worlds better than the Packers' last two opponents.
They combine middling to average defense that with an offense that is well above average. Pitt still has some weapons, and Ben Roethlisberger is still a dangerous quarterback when he has time to throw. Antonio Brown actually leads the league in Football Outsiders' DYAR stat and grades out as the 4th best receiver in football per PFF.
The high-powered Lions have a PFF passing grade of 30.1 this season. The Steelers, who no one thinks of in the same vein, grade out at 29.5, just a tick behind them. DVOA sees them as the 9th-best passing offense just barely trailing New England.
Perhaps more troubling, the Steelers have been very explosive on offense lately. Over their last 5 games they average 28.4 points per game, and none of the defenses they faced were soft with the exception of the Lions' corners. They put up 27 on Cleveland, 20 on Baltimore, 28 on Miami, and 30 on Cincinnati. This offense can and will score. If Matt Flynn plays, the Packers are likely to require a heroic defensive effort to win.
4. The Lions are not dead.
The Bears have a tough matchup. The Packers have a tough matchup, especially if Aaron isn't back. The Lions' schedule on the other hand, couldn't be much better. The Giants showed some life a few weeks ago but since then they have lost Victor Cruz for the season and Eli Manning has suffered what can only be described as a complete and total meltdown. There's no shame in struggling against the Seattle defense as they did last week, but two weeks ago they only managed to put up 14 points against a terrible San Diego defense. If the Giants have an offensive strength at all, it's the running of Andre Brown, but no one shuts down the run as well as Detroit. If the Giants are going to win, Eli will have to beat them, and I think it's fair at this point to speculate that something is wrong with Eli Manning.
I actually think the Vikings may have a better shot at the Lions in the season finale. They've been downright frisky since switching over to Matt Cassel as the permanent (hopefully) starter and getting dynamic rookie WR Cordarelle Patterson more involved. They still can't stop anyone, but their shootout win over Philadelphia last week indicates they would have a decent shot at taking out the Lions in week 17. Plus that would be horribly embarrassing for the Lions, and therefore likely to happen.
Let's wrap this up.
The most important thing this weekend is a Packer victory to set up a week 17 showdown with the Bears. That makes everything nice and simple. But if they lose, they're still not entirely dead, which is kind of amazing. FO has the Bears as the favorites to win the division with a 61.1% chance. The Lions still have a small edge on the Packers at 19.9% followed by the Pack at 19.0%. Still, the 1/5 shot they're looking at now is a great improvement from the 1/17 odds from 2 weeks ago.

Hey We're Famous...and Being Ripped Off!
The worlds largest shark jaw goes on auction in a few weeks, and the good folks over at Heritage Auctions decided to "troll the internet" for images featuring sharks for their sales PSA.
One of those images belongs to writer and photographer Jim Cornfield, who shot an amazing two shot of our divers in 2009 with the vessel Horizon in the foreground at Isla Guadalupe.
A closer look reveals the background video shot by Richard Theiss from RTSea Productions who spent almost four years with Shark Diver at Isla Guadalupe carefully documenting the sharks here for his award winning documentary Island of the Great White Sharks.

Fijian divers urge for stop of shark finning - Well done!
When Mike, aka Da Shark, dives into the news he doesn't not bother with "small things," he swims right into the middle of "epic issues."
Case in point an article that made nationwide news in China this week, taking the message to the people:
Fijian Divers have called for stopping shark finning in the island nation to save the reefs, local media FijiLive website reported here Tuesday.
Mike Neuman, Director of the Beqa Adventures Divers made the call after conservationists found that local fishermen are engaging in the illegal practice of shark finning, says the report.
"Like our mangroves, the reefs protect our coastline and their demise will lead to coastal erosion and flooding, especially during cyclones but also as the sea level rises due to Global warming," Neuman was quoted as saying.
Neuman said sharks play important roles in local marine ecosystems and were worth more alive than dead. "As an example, it has been observed that where there are reef sharks, the parrot fish that feed on coral cannot stay in one location for long but need to remain on the move. This prevents them from over- exploiting the corals."
The principal reason why tourists visit Fiji is because of Fiji's intact marine habitats, Neuman further explained, adding "be it for simply enjoying our beaches or for engaging in a plethora of water activities. If we destroy our oceans we risk loosing countless jobs and 55 percent of our GDP."
"This is simply not a risk the country can afford" and there have been instances in which local fishermen had targeted sharks specifically for their fins, he stressed. "Finning is just a particular harvesting technique that consists in cutting off the fins, often while the shark is still alive, and discarding the carcasses."
According to Neuman, fish stocks can recover if the reefs are being subsequently protected but sharks are very slow breeders and stocks will very likely not recover once they have been wiped out.
"As to the value of sharks for dive tourism, we have calculated that a single shark on our shark dive contributes 30,000 Fiji dollars (16,600 U.S. dollars) to the local economy annually, or 600,000 Fiji dollars (330,000 U.S. dollars) during its lifetime this compares to a few hundred dollars for its value when dead," he said.
A report by Pacific Scoop in 2009 stated that shark fins in Fiji can only fetch 50 U.S. dollars for 500 grams, while elsewhere the shark fins can cost 400 to 800 U.S. dollars a kilo depending on the size and species of the shark.

Punta Gorda, Florida, lands 2011 Guy Harvey Ultimate Shark Challenge Tournament and Festival
PUNTA GORDA, Fla. - The Guy Harvey Ultimate Shark Challenge Tournament and Festival returns to Southwest Florida by making its Punta Gorda, Fla., debut May 13 - 15, 2011, at Laishley Park. The tournament, hosted by Laishley Crab House (www.laishleycrabhouse.com), combines the allure of competitive big-game sport fishing with cutting-edge science, practical conservation principles and informative entertainment. It is quickly becoming an industry leader and model for the next generation of shark-release tournaments. Teams will be competing for $15,000 in cash and prizes as they fish Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico.
The Ultimate Shark Challenge festival at Laishley Park on Saturday and Sunday will complement the competition by broadcasting highlights on digital displays. Event sponsors will conduct product demonstrations and giveaways and a wide variety of merchant vendors and unique attractions, such as Mote's Mobile Aquarium, will be on display, along with shark-centric exhibits, interactive demonstrations and delicious food and cold beverages.
Admission into this family-friendly festival is free.
Guy Harvey, world-renowned marine artist, conservationist and tournament partner, will make a personal appearance during the weekend to meet with fans and promote the tournament's shared mission.
"The Guy Harvey Ultimate Shark Challenge Tournament and Festival will be a uniquely exciting event for participants, spectators and everyone who cares about the future of our oceans," Harvey said.
Teams will have the option of entering a two-day elimination competition with either two or three anglers. A dozen shark species are eligible for points, but finding and catching them aren't the only challenges teams will face. To qualify, eligible sharks must meet a minimum total length of five feet.
Sharks will be measured in the water using a device custom-designed and provided by the USC before they are research tagged by the team and released back to the wild. In some cases, candidate specimens may be outfitted with a satellite tracking tag. An observer professionally trained and certified by USC staff and the Mote Center for Shark Research in species identification, tournament rules and proper tagging and release procedures will also be placed on board each team vessel.
Mote Marine Laboratory's Center for Shark Research staff is USC's chief science and research partner, and will oversee those aspects of the tournament, including all tagging operations. Hammerhead and bull sharks will be the focus of the satellite tagging efforts, but other species, such as tiger sharks, may be tagged. Tags are designed to transmit location and other valuable information about the shark's travels. Once satellite tags are deployed, the public will be able to follow these sharks' travels online.
Additional information about the 2011 Guy Harvey Ultimate Shark Challenge Tournament and Festival including team registration, sponsorship opportunities and festival vendor inquiries, can be found on the event's website www.UltimateSharkChallenge.com.

'Who killed Alex Badeh & why are his supposed killers not in court For Murder?' Things are not Right.
Crime News Security
Barely 24 hours after my article titled Who Really Killed Alex Badeh And Why Are His Killers Not In Court? on the 25th of June, an announcement was made that a joint team of the DSS and military operatives had arrested another 14 suspects in relation to the murder. The police had already arrested 5 persons in December 2018 with a video confession of one of the suspects going viral and adding another 14 persons from a different source at that point more or less appeared a confirmation of the worst; a cover-up was in play.
In addition to the lingering question of why the police would keep self-confessed murderers of the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff for 6 whole months without charging them to court, there was now a very glaring one on just how shabby and shameless the authorities were in what any right thinking person would deem a ploy to kill off the case.
Questions were now being asked and getting another fresh batch of suspects would suggest that investigations hadn't been concluded. It didn't matter that they were alluding to the lack of credibility of the process. Not that it will surprise anyone but it has been 3 months since the latest arrests and 9 months since the ones before that. Whoever isn't coming out to publicly declare Buhari and his government the murderers of Alex Badeh is only holding back out of respect for the law.
Anyone would be excused for thinking back then that the Badeh family were overwhelmed by grief when they described the videoed confession of one of the suspects as a charade and adduced their reasons for doing so. Not any more. Its obvious they knew what they were saying. Detained former AAC Presidential candidate and Sahara Reporters Publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has said how he was denied the use of a phone to call his family in DSS detention while Boko Haram commanders had access to not only that but also to televisions and cable in their cells.
There has been nothing to suggest Buhari is a member of Boko Haram other than claims years before he became President that he and a number of northern elites backed the sect to help entrench Islamic rule early on but withdrew when their activities got out of hand. Boko Haram in an attempt to make public mockery of him, named him among its mediators to a dialogue with the Federal Government arranged by President Jonathan in 2012. Buhari declined. The sect is known to slaughter members that renounce it as traitors and that that was the reason for the attack on his life in Kaduna. It has never really gone past that.
But if at all Boko Haram commanders are now accorded VIP treatment in detention then it suggests an appreciable level of expertise in handling 'friendly scapegoat' situations. Rather than waiting to be ridiculed for not prosecuting people you have arrested for a murder,why not just extend the deal to include a cozy detention and a hasty and harmless trial? Well, a lot could go wrong, true.
A spokesperson of the Badeh family gave a heart-breaking account of the travails of the former CDS' before his demise. His Abuja house couldn't be cleared of waste because government had stopped him from receiving his entitlements in addition to freezing his accounts on grounds of facing a corruption charge and was only going to his farm that day to arrange for some maize to be sold so he could raise some cash. Their more believable version claims Badeh had already been at the farm and had even given a villager who asked for money to buy drugs, some maize to sell because he had no cash on him.
The interviewed suspect on the other hand claimed they blocked him on his way to the farm and carted away money like he had 'never seen before'.There were only 5 suspects arrested and admittedly in consonance with his testimony which didn't indicate there were too many accomplices. The five of them managed to spend all that money 'he had never seen before' within the 10 days before they were arrested because nobody told us any cash was recovered.The authorities said Badeh still had the security he was entitled to but they were kilometres behind where he was blocked and shot. Badeh was killed and by the most powerful people in Nigeria and they want you to totally forget it ever happened.
The Buhari administration locked away Sani Baba-Inna, the former aide de camp to Aisha Buhari, for allegedly defrauding persons of N2.5bn in her name. His family members corroborated claims he may have been helping her keep money by adding that he only started to get greedy and had even been made to buy a house for one of her daughters in Abuja. He certainly has a lot to say and for more than a year now, he has still not been charged to court.
It is no secret that former DSS boss, Lawan Daura's men joined the police in barricading the residences of former Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu weeks before they invaded the National Assembly. Buhari was fully aware of Daura's activities and is said to have only sacrificed him from London when foreign countries besieged Acting President Osinbajo with calls as to what was really going on. Daura is Buhari's townsman whom he pulled out of retirement to head the DSS and he may be privy to quite a lot of sensitive things regarding Buhari and others. He also hasn't been charged to court a year and 3 months later. We already know the lengths Buhari can go in defiance of the rule of law and public opinion just to protect himself and members of his inner caucus.It is nothing out of the ordinary for government to toss people in jail and forget them.
Buhari as an ex-military man understands just how serious the military and other security agencies take the killing of their colleagues. More so when it is a former Chief of Defense Staff and his suspected killers are in custody. The Badeh situation is one that would ordinarily require a monthly update. They are hiding something and whatever it is, I pray it comes to the fore some day.
JUST IN: President Buhari has approved the appointment of DCP Aliyu Abubakar Musa, as his Chief Personal Security Officer (CPSO).
Gov. Nasir el-Rufai has approved N200m for women empowerment, says Commissioner

The assassination of Bolic has spurred the oppressed citizens of the Empire into open revolt. In response, the Minister of State appoints his son, Shula, head of the secret police. Even the Jaegers begin questioning the Empire's leadership as Shula, leading a band of ruthless warriors from around the world, uses his new power to terrorize the populace--regardless of their allegiance to the Empire!!


With the Special Olympics World Games now over, a long-term approach to support and create opportunities for people of determination begins.
Officials and athletes' families said the journey had only just begun with the Games throwing the door open for new initiatives that promote inclusion and a change in mindset.
Tala Al Ramahi, chief strategy officer of the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi said a legacy committee was working with the Ministry of Community Development to formulate long-term policies.
"We are still at the beginning of this journey. Programmes will address the challenges that people with intellectual disabilities are still facing … there is a commitment, there is a pathway," she told The National.
More jobs, free sports training and health screenings were announced for athletes on Thursday.
This week, the Unified Champion programme, that pairs people with and without disabilities to play sports, was made mandatory at all public schools.
"We can start to get schools to test the waters and understand that inclusion is not that complicated. You just need to make sure there are different pathways available for people with different abilities," Ms Al Ramahi said.
On Thursday, families of the athletes said they hoped such initiatives would help the last of those who viewed disabilities as embarrassing or shameful see the value in participation and inclusion.
Ayesh Al Barguthi, whose nephew Khalid won gold in the 50-metre freestyle and 25-metre backstroke, said many more families needed to be brought into the fold.
"The UAE population has a lot of people with special needs but some don't have the courage or patience for sports.
"We need to work with these families at the grass roots, get the database and visit their houses. We need to integrate them into society.
"We must not overlook any family. Maybe they do not come out because transport is an issue or a companion is not available," he said.
Transition plans are required for children with intellectual disabilities as they grow older, to chart their goals and match these with opportunities.
Amanda Couch, special education co-ordinator at Abu Dhabi International School said a structured strategy could prepare for the future.
"One of the biggest things we struggle with is transition planning. In the [United] States it's mandated that when a kid hits 15 years, they must have transitional goals in their individual education plan and start working towards it.
"We don't have that yet here. As a country, that work is starting," she said.
Emirati swimmer and Special Olympics medallist Omer Al Shami is a pupil at the school and Ms Couch has watched him grow confident with sport.
The 16-year-old won gold this week in the 25 metre breaststroke, a bronze in the 4 x 50m relay and secured medals in the Mena games last year.
He is in grade 10 and has Down syndrome. His parents are already looking at options for higher education and sports that fit his ambitions of becoming a businessman and a Special Olympics champion.
Sharif Al Shami, Omer's father, said support was needed every day.
"There is nothing to be shy of that I have a disabled person in my home. There is no disability here. We should believe in their abilities. It is not a task that can ever be finished. It is a day-to-day activity to understand them.

Additional aircraft, News & Articles
Hydrogen propulsion also in flight
Two months ago, a six-person Piper Malibu 350 aircraft made history in the skies of England. This aircraft was the first commercial-scale aircraft in the world to be powered by a hydrogen-powered wider school circle with great promise. In a few months, the distance will be 400 kilometers with one takeoff and half the operating cost.
Two trends are outlined in the development of the aircraft of the future. One tries again in everything, and the other only replaces the drive system. The recipe is for electric motors, inverters and batteries in general. The biggest concern here is the small capacity of batteries today. You need a power plant that mostly generates electricity in the air during the flight, and even a car engine can be good for that.
Actually, it's a half-way, it makes the flight a little greener. It turns green a lot if the power plant is not conventional, such as hydrogen cell power generation The hydrogen cell itself is already accepted in various areas of transport. In addition to cars, boats, and trains, Pipistrel has also flown a lap for four years with a four-person hydrogen-powered tandem, but since then, not much has been heard of hydrogen-powered flying.
The development company ZeroAvia was founded a few years ago, mostly by people named Russian. They have applied for the British government's HyFlyer project, which supports zero-emission aviation. Not only have they won money, but they have also contributed to various institutes working on the subject and are also collaborating with the Toyota carmaker. Among them, the 350 version of the Piper 6-seater Malibu was the sympathetic of the old well-proven aircraft, they changed it. First, the drive system was replaced with a standard electrical system powered by batteries. They rose into the air with him for the first time this summer.
The next step to the batteries is to replace the hydrogen power plant instead. Hydrogen is introduced into fuel cells where electricity and water are generated. Hydrogen is stored at high pressure, the tank is visible under the right wing for the time being. As the pilot on the virgin flight, the head of the company, CEO Valery Miftakov ZeroAvia, sat behind the wheel. Present was the new British Minister of Aviation and Maritime Affairs, Robert Courts, he filled a piece of hydrogen fuel at the touch of a button.
On this day, not only flight was a world sensation, but a hydrogen-producing and refueling moving truck at Cranfield Airport. The latter was developed by the European Maritime Energy Center primarily to power commercial aircraft. Conversely, ZeroAvia will mount the larger hydrogen tank needed on the wing in the future. The crown for this mode will be put by ZeroAvia if they fly from Cork to San Francisco-Los Angeles at the end of the year.
Then come the bigger machines, they promise, in the coming years 20 – 50 – 100 – 200 people. All this will completely transform regional aviation in twenty years.

Sienna Miller exploded onto the showbiz scene in 2003 in a flurry of boho-chic outfits that quickly came to be known as her signature look. She later distanced herself from the rather limiting style genre with a series of glamour-packed red carpet gowns, and now straddles a style somewhere between the two.
See how her impulsive red carpet outfits have evolved from hippie to elegant and back again. Kind of.
Rewind to May 2003 and Sienna Miller is everyone's favourite boho style icon.
She truly embraced the folksy, feminine look.
A boho style high-point thanks to this ethereal Alexander McQueen dress with silver flats at the Cold Mountain premiere in 2003.
She flirts with a brunette up 'do at the 2004 Oscars but this strapless Matthew Williamson gown with gold armcuffs encapsulates her signature bohemian aesthetic.
Fun fact: Sienna co-designed the emerald green and gold gown.
Another premiere, another arm cuff. She sports a very relaxed look to the London premiere of Layer Cake in 2004.
It's a double strapped Chloe gown for the Venice Film Festival in 2004.
She's accessorising this floaty McQueen gown with layers of beads and a scarf in 2005.
Now something of a Williamson muse, Sienna attends the designer's 2005 gala in one of his pink striped designs and showing off a new accessory - the gold hippy headband.
The actress goes for a breathtaking strapless Christian Dior gown, diamond choker and slightly ruffled up'do at the premiere of Casanova in 2005.
But boho is banished in favour of a sleek crop and sharp bustier and trousers combo at Casanova's LA premiere in 2005.
She's more modern rock than floaty boho in a glittery Burberry mini at the Met Gala in 2006.
Quintessential Sienna at the Factory Girl premiere in 2007.
She's truly back to her hippie roots with a medieval princess vibe in a white Marchesa fishtail gown and crown of braids for the 2007 Met Gala.
She embraces a risky red carpet outfit and thicker eyebrows (long before they became mainstream-trendy) to celebrate Valentino's 45 years in fashion in 2007.
There's no hint of that early years bohemian spirit in this vampy Christian Dior gown and sleek hair at the 2008 Baftas.
She adds a sharp edge to her black tasselled Jasmine de Milo dress with a vintage bowler hat at the Edge of Love premiere in 2008.
She's very much back to boho in a puffball All Saints dress in 2009.
Aaaand folk and frippery is banished a month later at the ShoWest awards where the actress showcases a distinctive geometric print mini dress by Jonathan Saunders.
She's in her own 2812 label emerald green sparkling mini for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.
It's an old Hollywood glamour vibe in Yves Saint Laurent at the 2009 premiere of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
At the 2009 premiere of The September Issue, Sienna braves a tiny Thakoon flared mini and shades to mingle with the high fashion set.
High drama with a rock chick edge in Emilio Pucci for the 2010 Met Gala.
Later that year she's back to her old faithful Matthew Williamson at the designer's book launch.
She cuts an Audrey Hepburn-esque figure in an LBD from her 2812 label in 2011.
She's understated and chic in a Hugo Boss gown, dressed up with bold gold accessories in 2012.
She's in a rebellios mood for the 2013 Golden Globes, wowing the red carpet in a floral Erdem crop top and matching floor-length skirt.
She's best known for boho, but we've get the feeling Sienna prefers outfits with a little more edge.
The actress dons a studded Burberry biker jacket and matching studded headband with white crepe dress for the punk-themed Met Gala last year.
Yes, that is pink hair. Her experimental approach to red carpet dressing takes a grungy turn in this divine emerald green Burberry gown at the British Fashion Awards.
She's in McQueen again for the 2014 Oscars and the gold armcuffs are back too, fiercer than ever.
She's giving Kate Moss a run for her money at the model's Topshop launch in April in a stunning silver metallic mesh dress.
Wearing a slicked back do at the premiere for Foxcatcher at The 52nd New York Film Festival in October this year, Sienna looked sensational in a midriff-baring top and metallic skirt.
Opting for elegant Erdem here, she attended the International Medical Corps Awards, Los Angeles in October and looked radiant with her new cropped bob.
At Mario Testino's 60th birthday party this October, the star turned up with her equally dapper boyfriend Tom Sturridge in tow. She opted for a red embroidered prom dress-style frock.
Perhaps one of our favourite looks, early December, while out and about in New York, Sienna finally shunned her old boho look and gone for clean separates in block colours, all by Miu Miu. The short tousled hair style has changed her look completely.
In an A.L.C dress at the American Sniper film luncheon, New York, in December. The ultimate sport luxe look done well.
Having starred in one of Burberry's campaigns, with her other half no less, Sienna opted to wear the British brand to November's Evening Standard Theatre Awards.
In Balenciaga at the American Sniper film premiere, New York in December. With her short hair, bold white dress, Sienna has completely changed her look of late, and we approve.
At the 2015 Oscars in Oscar de la Renta.
Wearing a brilliantly bold one-shouldered dress by Marc Jacobs, to promote Burnt.
In plunging Rodarte to promote Burnt.
Owning the 2015 Cannes Film Festival in tiered Gucci.
Sienna wows in shimmering Ralph Lauren at the amfAR Gala during the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
Stepping out again at Cannes in geometric Valentino.
In shimmering custom-made Burberry at the 2016 Met Gala.
Pairing a comfy knit with a pleated midi skirt to nail transitional style.

Q: Webpack does not copy the images that i use into react components hi i override the webpack of the create-react-app, in a separate override-webpack.ts file.
What i do is:

*

*bundle the js files and copy them into build/static/js

*bundle the css files and copy them into build/static/css

***copy the /assets/img folder and copy them into build/static/media
**NOT all the images from assets folder are copied.The ones that are used into react components, are ignored, like so:

Context:
So all the js & css files are correctly bundled.
My issue is that the images(png,svg) from the src/assets/img are copied into build/static/media, are only the ones that are used into the scss files, and NOT from whithin my react components, these images are ignored, (as i show above), and that is what i looking for, how to include them also in the build folder
my override-webpack.ts is like this:.
var configurator = {
    paths(paths) {
      // paths
    },
 webpack(config, env) {
   //if stage, prod, dev
    bundleSass()
    addMedia()
    overrideOutput()
    return config;
  }
}

module.exports = configurator;

// overrride the publicPath of the bundles, so to have it into index.html
function overrideOutput(config) {
    config.output.filename = 'static/js/[name].[hash:8].js';
   config.output.chunkFilename = 'static/js/[name].[hash:8].chunk.js';
   config.output.publicPath = `http://www.something.com/`; // this is added into index.html
}

// copy images to build/static folder, i was hoping to copy the fonts as well but it does not..
// this functionality ONLY copies the images that are called into the css files,
// it IGNORES the images that used into react components,
// like:
// <img width="34 src={`${url}/img/user.svg`} alt="user" />
function addMedia(config){
  const media = {
    test: /\.(woff(2)?|ttf|eot|svg|png)(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
    use: [
     {
      loader: 'file-loader',
       options: {
        name: '[name].[ext]',
        outputPath: 'static/media', // by default it creates a media folder
       }
     }
    ]
 };

 config.module.rules.push( media ); // push the rule to the module array
}

// bundle scss files
function bundleSass(config) {
   // add rule for the sass-loader, so to bundle the scss files
}

Any suggestions why the images from inside the react components are not copied to the build/static/media is welcome.

A: The problem is, that you are not importing the used images in React but just linking to them.
Try importing and using image files like so:
import CarImage from '../../img/car.svg';
// further down in the component

Now webpack should recognize the imports and write the files.

How air pollution is impacting pregnant women and children
Neha YadavNov 18, 2018 | 12:01
Arkita has been sneezing at least once every minute, but that isn't the most awful of it. The 13-year-old has red eyes, headache and has complained of breathlessness. Unable to bear it, the anxious parents finally decided not to send her to school for at least a week. Her condition, doctors say, is caused by exposure to capital's air pollution which has led to a surge in complaints of throat allergy and respiratory distress.
In many ways, New Delhi's predicament is an essential cautionary tale of a deteriorating global trend. Alarmingly, 14 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are in India, of which Delhi is the most polluted one. While the role played by particulate matter (PM10, 2.5 and 1) has been a matter of grave concern, another distressing aspect; the spike in nitrogen dioxide and benzene levels has also been noticed in the past few years.
According to the report, Air pollution and child health: Prescribing clean air, released by the World Health Organisation (WHO), air pollution in India has been responsible for the deaths of over one lakh children under five years of age and over 7,000 children between ages 5-14 due to both ambient and household pollution.
Air pollution in India has claimed the lives of over one lakh children under five years of age and over 7,000 between ages 5-14 .(Photo: PTI)
These estimates were out of about six lakh children below the age of 15 who died due to air pollution across the world in 2016. The deaths in both the age groups are much higher in India in comparison to neighbouring nations, and the death rate was far higher among girls than boys.
The report also brings out the striking difference between the nations around the world. In low and middle-income countries 98 per cent of all children under the age of five are exposed to levels of PM 2.5 that are higher than what the WHO air quality guideline levels prescribe. However, in high-income countries, only 52 per cent of children were exposed to such high levels of PM 2.5.
Across the world, poor air quality has become one of the leading causes of premature fatalities, resulting in around seven million premature deaths every year, often from stroke, heart disease and lung cancer. Indeed, this global epidemic has become so dire that the World Health Organisation convened the first-ever global conference on air pollution and health on October 30 this year.
Air pollution comes in many forms and typically comprises of polluted air with the traces of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, benzene, particulate matter present in both ambient (outside) and household air circulation. Although prolonged exposure to polluted air effects every individual adversely, it has a severe impact on the health of the children and pregnant females.
Due to exposure to polluted air, pregnant women are more likely to give preterm births. (Photo: Facebook)
Researchers across the world have deliberated how pregnancy is adversely impacted by air pollution. For now, the possible consequences of air pollution on pregnant women and their babies look more serious with every finding.
The studies reveal that due to exposure to polluted air, pregnant women are more likely to give preterm births. These babies as such have a significant risk of developing cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Women exposed to high particulate matter during their last trimester were twice as likely to give birth to a child with autism.
Air pollution can aggravate asthma in pregnant females; this can be dangerous because it can cause preeclampsia and can cause the foetus to suffer from lack of oxygen leading to poor growth. Particulate matter crossing the placenta and reaching the foetus can also trigger asthma and childhood cancer later in life. The pollution exposure can also cause a decrease in fertility in both males and females.
Children are predominantly susceptible to the effects of air pollution as they live nearer to the ground, where some pollutants reach peak concentrations and adversely affect their developing brains and bodies. Newborns breathe faster than adults, and as such absorb more pollutants. Newborns and young children are also more vulnerable to household air pollution.
It is impossible to evade every potential threat to the health of a pregnant female and his baby; health researchers from American Pregnancy Association suggest few essential measures to decrease the exposure to air pollution.
For example, reading the air quality index to check particulate measure before heading out to avoid exposure to toxic air. One can also get an air purifier or use air purifying plants.
It is time to realise that the problems are more significant. (Photo: Reuters)
But are these pieces of advice any good for Indian settings where many still struggle to have a three-time meal and a household to reside. Millions of children are forced into child labour, and more than 90 per cent of total women workers work in the informal sector in India, nearly 50 per cent of these women workers are the sole bread earners of their family and for them sustaining life itself is more important than improving the quality of it.
We cannot overturn the problems of population explosion, poverty, unemployment, inequalities overnight. So what does India need to do? Can the country's public health target be immediately served by implementing any plan or enforcing any measures? The need of the hour is to enforce strong climate actions which India had promised under Paris Agreement – such as ambitious efforts to transform our energy and transportation systems to run on clean fuel and renewable sources.
These are enthusiastic and long-term goals that need political will, efficient planning and appropriate funds. Considering the present health hazards and their negative impacts on the young children and pregnant females we should aggressively target for short-term goals to achieve safe health conditions and clean air to breathe.
There are a few valuable lessons that policymakers ought to have learnt by now from the air pollution crisis that has engulfed the whole country – particularly Delhi with unfailing regularity. The recent example of the Supreme Court's last year direction from "no crackers" to this year's "green crackers" should also be looked at with greater scrutiny.
Last year, armed with policy tools such as bans, fines and other punitive measures the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) was put in place. Yet it has not achieved much success.
To be effective, systems like GRAP need centre, state, local and municipal bodies across multiple towns to work together as one unit. What is required is that government agencies work together to build linkages with resident welfare associations. Such linkages are necessary for changing mindsets and bringing cultural changes that generate health risks and environmental hazards.
It is important that people take the ownership of the air they breathe and do their bit in improving the situation. It is time to realise that the problems are more significant than what the WHO estimates, and need a call to action seriously.

STIPULATION AMENDED STIPULATION TO ALLOW THIRD-PARTY COMPLAINT by Chemical Lime Company of Arizona. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A, # 2 Exhibit B)(Nachman, ReNae) (Entered: 12/23/2009)
ORDER. The parties have filed a stipulation to file a third-party complaint. Dkt. #28. The Court's deadline for adding parties expired on November 11, 2009. Dkt. #28. Under Rule 16(b)(4), a scheduling order may be modified only for "good cause." The good cause standard primarily considers the diligence of the parties seeking the amendment. Johnson v. Mammoth Recreation, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). "The district court may modify the pretrial schedule 'if it cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.'" Id. (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 16 advisory committees notes (1983 amendment)). The parties' stipulation states that no party objects to or will be prejudiced by the third-party complaint, but it does not address good cause for extension of the Court's deadline. The stipulation is denied without prejudice to the parties filing a stipulation that addresses good cause and explains why the third-party complaint could not have been filed within the Court's deadline through the exercise of reasonable diligence. Signed by Judge David G Campbell on 12-18-09. This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no PDF document associated with this entry. (DGC) (Entered: 12/18/2009)
ORDER. The parties have filed a status report on settlement talks. Dkt. #37. The report states that plaintiff submitted a settlement demand to defendants on November 25, 2009, and that defendants will consider the demand and respond within the next 30 days. This does not comply with the Court's Case Management Order. Dkt. #28. The Court's order required the parties to "meet in person and engage in good faith settlement talks no later than November 24, 2009." Id. at 4. The parties shall comply in full with the Court's requirement no later than January 13, 2010, and shall file a report confirming their face-to-face, good-faith settlement talks by January 15, 2010. Further complete compliance with the Court's orders will be required. Signed by Judge David G Campbell on 12-18-09. This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no PDF document associated with this entry.

This licensed Run DMC shirt features the band logo, white text with red bars. Run DMC was one of the first bands to introduce urban music to mainstream culture, breaking through barriers and bringing what had been a simmering underground movement to the charts. Their sound, method, and style changed the landscape of the music industry. They represented a category of artists previously ignored by music companies and radio, a culture which now dominates pop and fashion culture.Jam Master Jay, D.M.C. and Rev Run from RUN DMC are the most influential Hip Hop group of all time and you can own a piece of history by wearing this iconic tee.

Q: How to stay in fullscreen mode after clicking on rel="external" links? I'm building a mobile web app that allow user to login through Facebook using openauth. There are no pop-up but Facebook will force you to go their page and redirect you back to the uri that you stated. Therefore, there are no ajax loading of the facebook mobile login page. That's why i put rel="external" at the anchor.
When I'm in the full screen mode, clicking on those links will automatically brings me to Safari. Thus leaving the full screen mode.
May I know is there anyway around this? or are there other method of logging into FB without redirecting?

A: Cnn

Change rel to target. Mission accomplished.

Don't Know Much About History — The Forgotten Presidents
Originally published February 19, 2012 , By Linda. Updated May 1, 2018 . 2 Comments
In celebration of Presidents' Day, here's a quiz of sorts: If the colonies declared their independence from Britain in 1776, but George Washington did not become President until 1789, who governed the colonies in the interim? Many readers may know that the Articles of Confederation preceded our American Constitution, but the Articles weren't even ratified until 1781. So, who kept things together between 1776 and 1781, during the early years of the Revolutionary War?
DID OUR COUNTRY HAVE A PRESIDENT BEFORE GEORGE WASHINGTON?
The answer is, no, not really. We didn't have just one President during that time.

Neither did I. Guess we really DON'T know much about history.
1. ↑ There has been a great deal of controversy about whether the Presidents of the Continental and Confederation Congresses can actually be called Presidents of the United States. I do so here, not to add fuel to the fire of that controversy, but as a way of acknowledging the contribution of these men to our founding. I acknowledge that the Articles of Confederation did not create an independent executive branch within the federal government. Rather, committees of Congressmen were appointed and met to implement laws adopted by the Confederation Congress and to fulfill other responsibilities of the federal government. Clearly, the President of the Congress presided over meetings of the entire body, but reading about the activities of Henry Laurens when he served as President of Congress, for example, convinces me that the position of President probably carried greater responsibility than is apparent from the Articles.
