We are one week away from the fantasy football playoffs. Odds are, not every spot in your league's postseason has been secured just yet. Positioning, potential first-round byes and playoff berths are still up for grabs, making Week 14 yet another pivotal week where knowing who to start and who to sit could be the difference between a shot at a championship or missing out on your league's winnings. Week 13 included myriad of fantastic performances. Jonnu Smith continued his reign of terror on the rest of the league. Bucky Irving was a monster, and probably the only reason the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't lose to the Carolina Panthers . Rookie tight end Brock Bowers also put up a 30 burger in PPR leagues. However, the key to fantasy greatness is finding value in players that others wouldn't consider starting. That's what we're here to do. Here are eight players to start and eight more to sit in Week 14. NFL playoff picture: Bills clinch 2024 season's first division title by bludgeoning 49ers in snow Players to start in Week 14: Quarterbacks: NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more. While the Las Vegas Raiders have been solid against the run as of late, they've been less productive against the pass. Mayfield and the Bucs were nearly embarrassed by the Panthers in Week 13. They'll look to bounce back in a big way against the Raiders in what should be (but probably won't be) an easy win. While Justin Herbert did not have a great week against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13, every other quarterback to play Atlanta recently has. Bo Nix had 36 points. Derek Carr had 23. Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush had 26. Baker Mayfield had 28. Geno Smith had 21. You get the point. Atlanta is a terrific matchup for any quarterback, and Darnold's ceiling is lifted substantially against them this weekend. Running Backs: While Devin Singletary did get a decent workload in Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys, the New Orleans Saints' run defense has been bad enough to warrant starting Tracy regardless of how much work Singletary gets. Tracy still got the important carries and wound up in the end zone. That's all that matters in fantasy. Oh, he also got the only receiving work out of the backfield. With the 49ers all out of whack and Nick Bosa hobbled, the 49ers' run defense has been atrocious. They've now surrendered the fifth-most non-PPR points per game to halfbacks on the season. Swift will be the biggest benefactor of San Francisco's collapse this week. Wide Receivers: Look. Volume may be the most important thing to consider in fantasy, but Westbrook-Ikhine's production speaks for itself. He has caught at least one touchdown in seven of his past eight games. That alone makes him fantasy relevant, but his odds increase this week as the Titans face the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cincinnati Bengals' defense is filled with more holes than the plot of a J.J. Abrams movie, and Cooks – despite hauling in only three passes in his first game back from injury – did earn seven targets and score a touchdown. He'll be heavily involved in Dallas' offensive game plan moving forward. Tight Ends: Don't look now, but the Raiders have been fairly solid against the run the last few weeks, having given up less than 65 rushing yards in two consecutive games. The Bucs will need to pass to get their offense going, and the Raiders have given up the third-most non-PPR points per game to the tight end position. The Bengals just allowed Pat Freiermuth to go off for seven catches, 68 yards, and a touchdown. They've given up a score to opposing tight ends in four consecutive games and have surrendered eight touchdowns to tight ends over the past eight weeks. Players to sit in Week 14: Quarterbacks: The Green Bay Packers have been terrific against quarterbacks all year. While Goff's efficiency can often counter elite defenses, the Packers have been just mediocre against running backs. It's likely the Lions will lean heavily on their halfbacks, as they normally do, attacking Green Bay's weaknesses. While Goff's floor should be incredibly high, his ceiling will be low in this divisional matchup. The Buffalo Bills have been menaces to opposing quarterbacks all season. They've only allowed 20 points to quarterbacks four times this year. Two of those were divisional games, which are often outliers in these types of statistics. The other two were Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Don't count on a big performance from Stafford. Running Backs: In his first game back from injury, Pacheco was still used in a timeshare with Kareem Hunt. While Pacheco should get more work as the season winds down, he's not in line this week to return to his workhorse role from the start of the season. Furthermore, the Los Angeles Chargers have only surrendered three rushing touchdowns all year. Even with J.K. Dobbins out, Edwards has been unable to secure the top spot in Los Angeles' backfield. He's been inconsistent, inefficient and hasn't been much of a pass-catcher, either. That alone would be enough to warrant benching him, but he will also be facing the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. All around, not a great outlook. Wide Receivers: The 49ers' offense is not good. It hasn't been good for some time, and while Samuel is the type of player that can go off at any moment, he hasn't tallied 10 PPR points in three in a row and four of his past six games. The Chicago Bears are one of the best teams in the league at stopping opposing wideouts, and Week 14 should be no different. Don't let his Week 13 stat line fool you. Hill would've had five receptions for 73 yards in Week 13 had it not been for a weird ricochet ball that landed in his hands for a touchdown. Hill is not getting designed looks in Miami's offense like he'd been getting in years past. Now, facing the New York Jets' secondary, Hill will be in for a rough outing. Tight Ends: No team in the NFL is better at shutting down opposing tight ends than the Detroit Lions. This will likely be a game where Green Bay leans on its wideouts, as Detroit's defense is built for stopping running backs and tight ends. With Trevor Lawrence going through concussion protocol, there's a chance that Mac Jones takes the reigns of the Jaguars' offense again in Week 14. In his time under center in Week 13, Jones displayed a connection with wideout Parker Washington, throwing his way 12 times, the most on the team. Should that connection maintain in Week 14, Engram could very well wind up the third option in Jacksonville's lackluster passing attack. That's not a great combo for fantasy production. Furthermore, the Tennessee Titans have surrendered the fifth-fewest non-PPR points per game to opposing tight ends. NFL News: Kirk Cousins' meltdown flings open door to questions on Falcons' QB plan

The self-styled "Freedom Convoy" of big rig drivers and protesters rolled into Ottawa in early 2022 from across Canada to express anger at government protocols imposed to contain Covid-19. After three weeks of turmoil, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked rarely used emergency powers to dislodge the protesters. Pat King was among hundreds of people arrested, and the first of the protest leaders to be convicted. Two other organizers, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber faced a separate criminal trial but those verdicts are not expected until 2025. King faces up to 10 years in prison after being convicted on five charges, including mischief, counselling others to commit mischief and disobeying a court order. Acquitted of more serious charges, he smiled at a packed courtroom of supporters as the judge read the verdict. "Mr King was not merely engaging in political speech," Justice Charles Hackland said. "Rather, he was inciting the protesters to continue their ongoing blockade of downtown Ottawa." King led hundreds of big rigs and thousands of protestors to Ottawa, bringing the capital to a standstill for more than three weeks.

As the demonstrators' demands expanded to a broader anti-establishment agenda, solidarity rallies popped up at Canada-US trade corridors and various places abroad. Most of the evidence at trial consisted of videos King posted on social media in which he urged his nearly 300,000 followers to rail against government overreach. "Hold the line," he said in video posts, appearing also to delight in the gridlock and misery of locals: "Pretty hilarious that people haven't been able to sleep for 10 days." Trudeau faced strong criticisms from civil liberties groups and the opposition Conservatives for invoking the Emergencies Act to dislodge the protestors. But a commission of inquiry ruled it had been "appropriate," calling it "a drastic move, but... not a dictatorial one." amc/bs/bfmIn conclusion, the attention and praise surrounding Xiao Hua's haircut for Xiang Zuo serve as a reminder of the importance of skill and precision in the world of hairstyling.

Login or signup to continue reading But here I am. I'm on a Facetime call with British doctor, television presenter, and writer, Xand van Tulleken, best known as one half of children's medical entertainers, Operation Ouch, with his twin brother Chris. Dr Xand (as he is commonly known) boasts a CV that could make the most confident person feel a touch inadequate. He studied medicine at the University of Oxford, has treated children in Darfur during the genocide, his BBC TV show Operation Ouch has won BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards for best children's series, the stage show version has played at iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House and London's Apollo Theatre, he's co-launched the award-winning podcast A Thorough Examination with Drs Chris and Xand and published three books about weight loss and processed food. To top it all off, Dr Xand is still a practicing doctor in public health in London. Brother Chris has also studied medicine at Oxford and is a virologist and expert in infectious diseases. But today we're deep-diving into the great archaeological mystery of prehistoric flatulence. It's all part of Operation Ouch's latest touring show, The Quest for the Jurassic Fart . It comes hot on the heels of their previous stage show, Food, Poo and You . "We were really struggling after the last show to find, what do kids love more than poo?" Dr Xand tells Weekender from his home in London. "Farts seemed like the one below poo. They're funny, but they're maybe not as medically interesting. "We were having a lovely chat with an Australian anthropology professor, who said, 'You should do it about the world's oldest fart, this mosquito fart preserved in ember.' "We didn't know what she was talking about, and she showed us this headline, and it's all true. There's a fart from a mosquito trapped in ember. "We thought this was great; we can build a show from this." So, is there archaeological evidence that suggests how much dinosaurs passed wind? The impact of modern livestock on the environment is well known. Methane gases account for 11 per cent of global greenhouse emissions and trap 28 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. And we know that most dinosaurs boasted much larger bottoms than cows or sheep. "A few years ago there were headlines because a few scientists theorised that what wiped out the dinosaurs, and this was actually published in a scientific journal and widely reported, was that the dinosaurs wiped themselves out by farting too much," Dr Xand says. "It does seem to have been a meteorite, not the farting, but there was an idea that they caused so much global warming. "It's not true, but what we know about dinosaur digestion - the plants they ate, the amount of gas they would have produced - we know the ways their farts would have been different to modern herbivores." Disappointedly for some dino fans, Dr Xand says the most famous of all prehistoric creatures, the Tyrannosaurus rex, would not have been as menancing to the nostrils. "The descendants of the T-rex are modern birds, not even modern carnivores, and birds don't do a lot of farting at all," he says. Of course, medical science is an essential element to Operation Ouch's success. Dr Xand and Chris are passionate about educating young minds on the constantly changing world of medical research and teaching them about their bodies. However, Dr Xand knows, without the jokes, the information wouldn't resonate. "Once your talking about dinosaurs and farting, you can smuggle in some science and say, 'This is how you look after your body, and here's what is going on in your body'," he says. Farts seemed like the one below poo. They're funny, but they're maybe not as medically interesting. "But the vehicle that drives Operation Ouch along is the humour and the entertainment. It's got to be entertaining, first of all, and then you can put in the interesting science. "What normally happens is that Chris thinks we need more science in the show and then writes a 15-minute bit on the genetics of the microbiome in the dinosaur colon." Operation Ouch's TV series has been running since 2012 in the UK and on Australia's ABC since 2013. Operation Ouch has produced more than 100 episodes, but Dr Xand says they're never in danger of running out of fresh medical material to examine. "The other thing is that things change," he says. "So for something like autism, over the last 13 years we've tried to talk a lot about autism as it's something kids are really interested in, so we want to talk about it. "There are bits of science that when we filmed them they were in a lab as a plate of cells, and now they're in a hospital, actually saving lives."

Another key trend expected to define the AI big model shuffle era is a renewed emphasis on ethical considerations. As the use of large-scale AI models becomes more widespread, there will be growing concerns about the potential negative impacts of these models on society, such as perpetuating bias and misinformation. Companies will need to take a more proactive approach to ensure that their AI systems are fair, transparent, and accountable, in order to build trust with consumers and regulators.
