The Baltimore Ravens control their own playoff fate, needing to beat the Cincinnati Bengals to close out the regular season and guarantee themselves a postseason berth. But they’ll have to accomplish that goal without some starters once again, seeing several players be inactive due to injuries.
Defensive starters Yannick Ngakoue and Jimmy Smith will be sitting this one out, as will offensive starters like Patrick Mekari and Willie Snead. Though it’ll be a good opportunity for some reserve players to get meaningful snaps before heading into the playoffs, the team seems to be going backward in regards to their health.
On the positive side, players like Gus Edwards, D.J. Fluker, Marlon Humphrey, and Marcus Peters were also seen on the injury reports this week and were listed as questionable. It’s a positive sign those guys will play, especially Peters, who has missed the last two games with an injury.
Take a look at the full list of inactive players for the Ravens and Bengals in Week 17.

Rockdale Opera Company
August 18-26, 2018, Rockdale Town Hall
Musical Director: Luke Spicer
Director: David Brennan
Looking for a good night out? Boo! Did I scare you? No? How ’bout…”OPERA!!!!” Scared now? What about, “Ernest Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann!” Yes? Edgar Allan Poe, better? No? Hoffmann is scarier – his stories have been operatically realised by the great romantic composer, Jacques Offenbach.
Okay, “OPERA! HOFFMANN! OFFENBACH!” Now you’ve got to be scared!
Mention a good night out and most people won’t immediately think of the Opera. It’s that thing that happens in that funny looking building on the Harbour. It’s performed in a foreign language. It’s expensive. Everyone speaks with an apple in their mouth and they’re just the audience. And the sound is…different – sonorous singing complementing a rich instrumental accompaniment – not the usual demonstrative rapping or tuneful skipping out of lyrics meant to be bopped to. It’s decidedly not pedestrian and not easily accessible.
But what if it was? What if it were in English and each act opened with a dramatic introduction setting the scene about to be sung? What if it was offered in suburban Rockdale, with plenty of free-parking and easy public transport? What if Musical Director, Luke Spicer, presented a superb orchestra to uplift highly trained and talented singers? What if the Director brought with him the experience of years as a principal at Opera Australia as David Brennan has? What if the core of the Rockdale Town Hall resonated with the song of disparate lyrical organs expressing their joy in concert with each other, in concert with Offenbach?
It would be a shame to miss it.
The Rockdale Opera Company’s, Tales of Hoffmann, offers all of this. If you haven’t experienced opera before, this production is all too easy. An act by act synopsis is offered in the programme and just enough time and ample lighting to comfortably read it in the scene changes. Adjusting your ear to the style of singing may take a few moments – like accustoming yourself to Shakespearean English – but it’s worth it.
The poet, Hoffmann, walked away from his creative muse to pursue love with disastrous and macabre results. Three of his exploits detail his bizarre infatuations: with a life-size, battery-operated doll; a Venetian enchantress who steals his reflection and hopes to steal his soul; and the lovely Antonia who loves him but risks her health when she shares his music with him.
Benjamin Oxley’s Hoffman is sympathetic and real. The warmth of his voice and the sureness of his pace and actualization endear us to his plight. Camilla Wright mesmerises with her realisation of the doll, Olympia. Her robotic movements and painted smile fool few beside the lovelorn Hoffman. There is much to admire in her delivery, she enchants with her acting and musical humour.
Barbara Jin, portrays Nicklausse, a student who the Muse has charged with looking out for Hoffmann. She physicalises her character’s emotions roundly, communicating her state of mind emphatically without hamming. Ray Dubber, a company veteran, delights as the near-deaf servant, Franz. He has a larrikin’s face for comedy and is a delight to watch, a delight to listen to.
Opera poses many challenges for its performers: they must sing the right notes; carry the tune at volume; and bring across their particular character. In a couple of instances towards the end of the second half, the strength of the full orchestra posed a challenge for the performers. But the feelings were there.
This opera was unfinished by Offenbach at his death. We are told that the act in Venice was left the least developed. Dramatic tension within this act could perhaps have been better utilised with a bigger delivery of the dastardly Dapertutto, the purveyor of reflections and souls – perhaps from costuming or make-up? Perhaps the blocking of his movement and interactions?
The costumes are evocative of the early 20th Century and aid in setting the production. The set itself is stripped back and striking – a lit backcloth and black silhouettes creating the Tavern and Venice effectively.
All in all, the Rockdale Opera Company’s, Tales of Hoffmann is a good night out, even for the uninitiated. Very enjoyable.
Tickets can be booked online. Phone bookings: 02 8197 1796
Hurry, the run closes August 26!

Christie, who has said all along that he would not support any compromise on his original plan, which among other things envisaged a merger of Rutgers-Camden into Rowan, issued a statement Monday supporting the legislation, which would preserve Rutgers-Camden as a distinct entity.
"This is a critical and positive step, and the governor looks forward to working together to achieve this reorganization by June 30," read a statement from his office.
Highlights of the legislation:
•All of UMDNJ’s schools in Newark and New Brunswick, except University Hospital, would be moved to Rutgers. University Hospital, in Newark, would become independent.
•Rutgers-Camden will be "granted autonomy" and will operate under a 7-member board of trustees. The school will receive funding directly from the state.
•Rowan University will be designated a research institution, ensuring greater state funding.
•The joint Rowan/Rutgers-Camden board will have authority over both school’s boards of trustees.
•Rutgers’ board of governors will be expanded from its current 11 voting members to 15.
The legislation comes days ahead of a scheduled Wednesday meeting and votes by Rutgers’ current boards of trustees and governors on a statement opposing any drastic restructuring of the university.
Norcross, a brother of powerful Democratic leader George E. Norcross III, has opposed Christie’s plan to merge Rutgers-Camden into Rowan. But he said Monday that his legislation avoids the pitfalls of that plan.
George Norcross, a managing partner in The Inquirer’s parent company, has generally backed the governor’s plan.
In a statement Monday, Donald Norcross said: "We have worked very hard over the last several weeks to listen to all sides of the debate and incorporate their ideas into this plan. Real change will be achieved only through respectful collaboration."

The 2021 Ferrari Roma is an emphatic celebration of the Italian gran Turismo, a genre that in the 1950s and ’60s resulted in some of the most beautiful and desirable cars ever built in Maranello. But the Roma is not a carefully crafted homage to the past, a contrived pastiche of retro whimsy wrapped around 21st-century hardware. No, this Ferrari GT is in every way a thoroughly modern interpretation of a classic automotive concept, cleverly engineered and superbly executed.
First things first: The Roma is not a replacement for the Portofino, Ferrari’s other V-8-powered front-engine GT. It is an addition to the lineup, and with a price tag of $222,620, it’s by a fraction the least expensive new Ferrari you can buy. In the rarefied world of Ferrari-nomics, it’s a stone-cold bargain.
The Roma is an amalgam of existing Ferrari hardware and software, refined, repurposed, and renewed. The Roma’s platform is based on that of the Portofino, but it’s 70 percent new. Variants of the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V-8 under the Roma’s hood can be found in five other Ferrari models. The Roma’s eight-speed dual-clutch transmission is fundamentally the same as the one that made its debut in the SF90. It is the first Ferrari GT car to get Side Slip Control 6.0, which was unveiled on the race-face 488 Pista n 2018, and the first whose manettino dial allows you to select Race mode.
Inside, the Roma shares the Human Machine Interface concept first seen in the SF90, with a curved 16-inch high-def instrument panel screen and steering wheel with capacitive touch control switches in the horizontal spokes. Additional touch control switches for lights and exterior mirror adjustment are located in a pod to the right of the steering wheel, and like the SF90, the transmission is controlled by switches arranged in a housing on the center console that recalls the iconic Ferrari metal shiftgate.
Unlike the SF90, however, the Roma offers an 8.4-inch portrait-format touchscreen mounted high between the central flying buttresses, which extend from the floor to the dash. And, as in cars like the GTC4Lusso, an 8.8-inch screen located on the passenger side of the dash is available as an option.
Photographs don’t do the Ferrari Roma justice. In the metal, Ferrari’s new GT— designed in-house under the direction of Flavio Manzoni—looks wider and lower and much more dramatic, the traditional cab-rearward proportions and sensual surfaces of the upper body playing off edgily modern front and rear graphics. Slim headlights and a substantial splitter give the Roma’s snout a sharklike menace. What you can’t see are the race car–style vortex generators on the underfloor at the front of the car that help the Roma generate more downforce on the front axle than the Portofino.

My favourite film of the year. My favourite film of many years.
Completely original, constantly surprising, endlessly inventive with a massive heart. It’s so rare these days to see a film that has no antecedents, but this one manages to be cut free from past film reality. The writer and director have produced an instant classic.
I’m not saying anything about the plot – the less you know, the better it is. But every time you think you’ve got a handle on it, you really haven’t.
Michelle Yeoh is fantastic, so is Stephanie Hsu.
A film that is embedded in culture yet is also universal.

Manchester United ‘paid Sporting Lisbon £4.5m after Bruno Fernandes’ match-winning display against Brighton’ as Portuguese midfielder activated add-on clause by playing in 25 league games for the Red Devils
- Bruno Fernandes scored as Manchester United beat Brigton 3-2 on Saturday
- The Red Devils then paid Sporting Lisbon £4.5million due to an add-on clause
- United had required to pay that fee upon Fernandes’ 25th league game
- The Portuguese midfielder has been a United revelation since arriving in January
Fernandes scored a last-gasp penalty in the 100th minute of the thrilling match at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side picked up their first points of the season on the South Coast.
The 26-year-old arrived in January via an initial £45million deal rising to £66.7million if all the add-ons are met. United paid Sporting £2.74million after qualifying for the Champions League on the final day of last season.
Man United paid Sporting Lisbon £4.5million after Bruno Fernandes’ late penalty at Brighton
Fernandes netted a 100th-minute penalty on his 25th league game for United at the Amex
And according to Portuguese news outlet Record, Fernandes made his 25th Premier League appearance for the Red Devils which cost United another £4.5million.
Fernandes has made a significant difference since arriving at Old Trafford in January, scoring 13 goals in 25 appearances for Solskjaer’s side and producing for the Premier League giants in big moments.
That was clear to see in the tense victory over Brighton, which saw the Red Devils come from behind to claim all three points.
Fernandes started the match by giving away a penalty himself – clipping the heels of promising right-back Tariq Lamptey to allow Neal Maupay to open the scoring.
Fernandes joined United in a £66.7million deal in January with £4.5m coming after 25 games
While United were unlucky not to be further behind in the match, as Brighton hit the woodwork five times in total with Leandro Trossard hitting a hat-trick of attempts against the frame of the goal, they pulled level through Lewis Dunk’s own goal just before the interval.
Brighton saw a given penalty cancelled out by VAR in the second period before Marcus Rashford’s superb solo goal put United in front for the first time in the match but Brighton looked like they had snatched a point when Solly March headed home in injury time at the far post.
But the drama was not over yet as Harry Maguire headed the ball onto Maupay’s arm and while Chris Kavanagh blew the full-time whistle seconds later, the official checked VAR to spot the offence and gave the penalty which Fernandes dispatched.

Rio Ferdinand praised the Portuguese midfielder for his composure to slot the penalty, telling BT Sport: ‘This man is ice cold in these situations.
‘He changed his run-up a little bit there from his usual hop, skip and jump thing. The pressure was on but he calmed himself down and went back to basics.’
Fellow BT Sport pundit Joe Cole added: ‘We could see that while all the melee was going on, Bruno was the coolest man in this building. It was a great penalty.’

After several Bharatiya Janata Party leaders reiterated their demand to name the newly-constructed mini airport in Aligarh after Kalyan Singh, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said, “We will hold a meeting with the Cabinet soon and discuss it.”
BJP leaders in Aligarh have demanded that the recently constructed Dhanipur mini airport in the Uttar Pradesh town be renamed after former state CM Kalyan Singh. The airport is likely to be thrown open to air traffic next month. According to sources, DGCA team will soon visit the airport for inspection after which the administration will apply for a license.
Kalyan Singh, the BJP stalwart who has also served as a governor of Rajasthan, died at the age of 89 in Lucknow after a prolonged illness on Saturday night.
Remembering Singh values, Yogi said, “Unlike his opposition parties who, in the name of occupying the Chief Minister’s post, slammed the Ram Mandir movement, he was a leader of the masses”
He further informed Singh’s mortal remains were brought to his hometown Aligarh, to allow his followers, other people to pay their last respects.
“He was not just a leader promoting a particular caste or community but worked for the welfare of all people. We decided to bring the remains here so that Singh ji’s followers can see him for the last time. He has been associated with the people of Aligarh for years.”

Foods That Affect Our Mood
World Health Organization (WHO) health; It defines not only the absence of disease and disability, but also physical, spiritual and social well-being. For this reason, mental health is as important as physical health. Undoubtedly, one of the most important factors affecting mental health is environmental factors, including nutrition. Have you ever wondered how diet or some food will affect your mood? In this article, we will consider the relationship between nutrition and mood, and foods that are good for mood.
We can say that the body of living things is a chemical factory to carry out complex chemical processes. The main chemical reactions of our brain are at work for a warning from the outside world. Again, due to the chemicals of the brain, billions of papers flow through the nerves regularly. Certain important chemicals are involved in this process.
Different neural transponders in the brain make us feel in a variety of ways: good, bad, happy, unhappy. Sometimes there may be some kind of chemical in the brain, more than any other. As a result, we feel happy or unhappy.
With proper nutrition, we have a significant impact on brain chemistry. Neural transponders in the central nervous system are derived from nutrients. Necessary vitamins and minerals are needed in this production. A balanced and diverse nutrition program; that it helps balance the chemicals responsible for the mood and the mood to improve. Physical condition and type of nutrition make the person more resistant to emotional stress that can lead to depression and depression.
The term ‘stress-reducing foods’ (Comfort food), which has recently entered our lexicon; means foods that we believe can help reduce negative feelings and increase positive feelings. Consuming stress-reducing foods is considered a kind of reaction to this emotional stress. They are foods with high carbohydrate content. It should be remembered that foods containing low carbohydrate with low fiber content can cause an increase or decrease in blood sugar accompanied by fluctuations in epinephrine, commonly referred to as adrenaline or the ‘stress hormone’. Vegetables, whole grains, brown rice, whole wheat pasta and legume varieties that are complex carbohydrates help raise serotonin levels in the brain. This is because complex carbohydrates help raise the level of serotonin in the brain.
Serotonin is a chemical that affects behaviors such as mood, stress response. Fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kombucha and sauerkraut can improve gut health and mood.
