The Maesteg team has raised more than £100 for sight loss charity, the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
A raffle was held in the Specsavers store where customers bought a ticket for the chance to win a pair of designer single-vision spectacles of their choice, a ten pounds gift card to spend in store, as well as various selections of chocolates, cakes and other homemade culinary delights.
Plenty of choice
The winner could choose any designer spectacles up to the value of £149, choices included Tommy Hilfiger, Diesel, Superdry and many more.
They also offered a glasses cleaning service on a stall outside the store on Talbot Street, where donations to the RNIB collection box were encouraged.
The overall efforts of the store raised £102.82, which will go towards the practical and emotional support the charity offers to those affected by sight loss.
RNIB is the UK's leading sight loss charity, providing expert eye health information as well as practical, informed and impartial advice so those affected by sight loss don't feel isolated or vulnerable, and gives them the confidence to lead independent lives.
Community generosity
Simon Morris, director of the Maesteg store, said: 'As a community-focussed business, it was great to get onto the street and meet passers-by and talk to them when they had their glasses cleaned. The Maesteg community were generous with their donations and their contribution will go towards the support RNIB offer to people affected by sight loss.'

Bare Escentuals "Sea Yourself Collection" and FOTD **PIC HEAVY**8:00 AM
In true "Meredith" fashion, when QVC had their most recent Today's Special Value for Bare Escentuals, the Sea Yourself Collection, I had to buy it. I've become addicted to the turquoises, blues and greens of the season, so this was right up my alley. More importantly, this kit is the debut of Bare Escentuals SPF25 Mineral Veil and eyeshadows, and since we all know that sunscreen is an essential part of summer, this made total sense.
I love the box that this set came in - its a little bigger than their normal packaging, so I might keep this one to store some items, like double ended brushes, in. The outside is covered in beautiful sea glass...
...and you open it to a "sea" full of new Bare Escentuals products - everything is bright turquoise! Beautiful!
Bare Escentuals has introduced a new set of eyeshadows, below, that not only are gorgeous, but give the eyes the needed sun protection, with SPF25. The three colors are Reflection (a pale, seafoam blue with gold shimmer), Energy (a deep turquoise/slate with blue/green shimmer), and Serenity (a matte chocolate brown).
Energy is such a beautiful color. It doesn't scream blue or turquoise, but just adds enough of a hint of color to create a gorgeous look. This can be used as a liner or an eyeshadow to create a gorgeous smokey look.

OMG looks veryyy tempting.hahahaReplyDelete
I thought this would be very similar to 'Siren of the Sea' - both with 'sea' themes, but the addition of Serenity adding depth in the crease is fantastic - and makes your hazel eyes look more brown! I wonder about buffing the slightest amount of 'Energy' to the crease and outer 1/3 for even further dimension. Can't wait to try it! And Figi lipgloss looks so natural. Another great look on you! Thanks for the swatches and thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete

My Review: 4 out of 5 stars
Aakash, Jai and Vivek are mostly usual in their ways, except for some. Struggling
with their own inner conflicts as well as the cruel world outside, they decide to
show the world their true potential. To make it big. But how?
They become the voice of the nation by starting up an online platform where
people can upload unabashed, unapologetic videos, venting out their angst
against people, politics, bosses, lovers, taboos, or just about anything. Even the
founders themselves.
The platform spreads like wild fire. But when has fire doused without burning a
Confused Bastards is not just a witty, gritty, fast-paced journey of three friends,
it's also an intolerant story for a tolerant country!
An interesting and necessary read for every person who has at one point or other felt like a confused bastard.
Book Cover: That is what intrigued me about this book in the first place. It is simple, yet appealing to the eyes. That human brain design reminds me of the sketches from It's Kind of a Funny Story Brain Maps! Shows all the thoughts and idea we have.
Characters: Our three main confused Bastards (protagonists) are Aakash, Jai and Vivek. Although their nature is so different from each other, one thing links them all. They are all conflicted and best of friends. That shows in the way they talk to each other and know each other inside out.
Plot and Theme: It was brilliant. With the current entrepreneurial wave, this book describes the strength it takes to take that plunge, and how struggling it can be. I liked how we get the side-stories of personal lives of characters and it is not all about ihafa. (Nice name though) *silent laughter
The writing style is so natural and you can easily tell that this book is for the youth. The same old drinking, cursing, partying, worrying about careers and girls. This book was written cleverly. A focused aim with a whole lot of entertainment. I'm so impressed by the creativity: The Mahabharta Club, ihafa. This was a fast-paced enjoyable book.

I love having images taken of the babes and I. It's like a little snippet of our lives that we can see and keep forever. These beautiful memories captured on camera can be challenging on days. On a good day, there's zero tantrums during the photoshoot. On a bad day, we step out of the house and just head on back in because it just ain't worth it. We're talking about working with kids afterall.
Take this photoshoot for example. Firstly, we had all of 5 minutes to take them. We keep it natural by allowing the babes to just be themselves. So sometimes they smile and sometimes they don't. If you're lucky, you might even catch your babe picking her wedgy mid shoot. Yep there's a picture of her doing just that.
Then there's the clothing. Ideally, our outfits would be coordinated for every style shoot but my eldest put her outfit together (she does that a lot) this time and it did not go with mine. I decided to work with it and at least try to match my youngest with her big sister. Well, perhaps I tried to hard (or too little) but looking back at these images made me feel as though I needed a crash course in kids styling. Nevertheless my babes are troopers, darn cute and I am all for encouraging them to just be themselves. So here we are. Just a bunch of girls with the man we love most on our way to lunch.

Overall, marketers in the U.S. will spend more than $103 billion on search, display, social media, and email marketing by 2019 — growing at a 12% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) — but search will remain the largest share of interactive spend, per a study from Forrester Research released Monday.
The study — U.S. Digital marketing Forecast, 2014 to 2019 — points to search as the largest share, social media investment will grow faster than any other interactive channel. The growth should prompt some interesting changes in marketing such as introducing personal networks for promotion and commerce, signaling brand supporters, and making agencies realize the importance of marketing clouds.

Dizziness Heaviness Help
Lately I have been having these strange episodes of severe dizziness and breathlessness, I feel heavy and warm all over and my head feels like it's filling up and too heavy to carry. I have these kinds of episodes at least three times a day, the only thing that seems to help is napping, or sometimes they go away after a few hours. For those of you that don't know I do have gestational diabetes, and I watch my diet very carefully. Every time I check my blood sugar during these episodes, it looks good, between 70 and 100. I got my bp checked yesterday, the doctor said it looked good. I wasn't having one of these episodes then though. When they happen, this is how it feels: I feel heavy, dizzy, it's hard to breath, I get a strange warm tension in my neck, I feel a light throbbing at the base of my skull, and I get super uncomfortable. Then after about forty minutes I have all of those feelings, but instead of being uncomfortable, I feel like I could close my eyes and just float away...It's harder to breath during these times, and I get scared. I tried to tell my doctor all of this yesterday but she had so many 9 o clock patients and was in a hurry, so she just told me to eat a snack and see if it helps. I don't know if she actually heard all I said. Don't get me wrong, she's a very good doctor and usually answers all of my questions satisfactory, she was simply busy yesterday. Now I am scared and don't know if something is seriously wrong, but I could use as much advice and personal experiences as I can right now. Thank you so much!
sorry not FOR GBS testing but at the same time as my GBS testing.
I have always had some problems with iron deficiency and anemia, although my doctor said when they last checked my blood (28 weeks) I was not anemic.......I hope it is all normal, and migraines, oh those are horrible :(
i had this as well with my last pregnancy near the end and got really no explanation other than it was one of the joys of being pregnant nothing bad ever happened because of it other than the fact that it feels awful when it's happening, good luck hopefully you dont have to much longer to go.
Oh wow, I have been having the exact same things happen to me for the last 2 weeks - I thought maybe it was all in my head! I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow and I've been getting extremely dizzy, out of breath, and feeling heavy in my arms and shoulders - almost like I can't stand up sometimes and like I'm just going to fall over. I mentioned it to my OB last week and she wasn't concerned about it .... although it is still freaking scary when it happens! My BP is fine and no other problems so I guess it is just all part of it. All these symptoms are really starting to get old!

With so many art fairs happening around New York come spring, enterprising collectors need to strategize where to best spend their time. The next essential event on the agenda is Frieze New York, from May 2-6, at Randall's Island Park. With a roster of first-rate galleries and artists represented this year, you may need guidance navigating the fair. Services like Frieze Bespoke offer a personalized tour with an independent art specialist tailored to your interests and budget. Once you secure the next piece in your collection, you'll have to decide where to display it.
Art has come up in the ranks as the number one luxury investment according to the 2017 Wealth Report from Douglas Elliman and Knight Frank Residential. A home should accurately reflect the importance collectors are placing on their investments in these works. So, we've rounded up a list of homes across the country that afford the appreciation of your masterpieces as much as you do.

Up the sweeping staircase, the walls have been finished with a plaster mural by Jake Solomon. Bathed in sunlight with floor-to-ceiling casement windows on almost every level, this beautiful residence offers every modern convenience while respecting the integrity of the original design and architecture.

Muscle Twitch & Spasms
Muscle twitches and spasms are both uncontrollable muscle movements, but their symptoms, treatment and causes are very different. While a twitch is a minor annoyance you may hardly notice, a spasm occurs quickly, without warning and is typically quite painful. In most cases, neither condition requires medical attention.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
A muscle twitch, also called a fasciculation, is uncontrollable movement in a small area of a larger muscle. A twitch can also occur in a specific muscle group that is stimulated by a single nerve. Muscle spasms are also uncontrollable, but involve a muscle that contracts and does not relax.
Muscle twitches may be so minor they're not noticed, or you may feel a nagging twitch or see the rapid but slight movement under the skin. Twitches are not painful. They may come and go, but do not last for more than a few days. Spasms may be visible as a bulge underneath the skin, they often feel tight and are usually very painful. Spasms typically last from a few seconds to a few minutes.
A muscle twitch may be caused by stress or anxiety, stimulants such as caffeine or they may be a side effect of over-the-counter cold treatments, antipsychotic drugs and medications used to treat asthma or ADHD. Muscle twitching may also be caused by nerve damage, weak muscles and rare but serious conditions such as Lou Gehrig's disease and muscular dystrophy.
Muscle spasms most often occur as a result of overuse, overstretched or tired muscles. The most common cause of spasms is dehydration, notes the University of Maryland Medical Center. Other causes include low levels of sodium, potassium or calcium, nerve irritation and systemic illnesses such as diabetes, anemia and kidney disease.
Muscle twitching usually stops and does not require treatment. If you're at risk of being dehydrated due to heat or physical activity, the first step for treating muscle spasms is to consume water or a sports drink. Otherwise, you may treat spasms by gently stretching and massaging the muscle. You may apply heat to the affected muscle to help it relax, but after the spasm stops, use ice to relieve pain. If you have muscle spasms that are especially painful or the soreness doesn't go away, your doctor may prescribe medications to help relieve the tight muscle and the pain.
You won't be able to prevent a muscle twitch unless it is caused by medication or a physical condition that is treated. However, muscle spasms can often be prevented by regular stretching before exercise, avoiding repetitive muscle movements and staying hydrated with water or sports drinks. You should consult your doctor if you have twitches or spasms that frequently occur or last longer than normal so that potential medical conditions can be ruled out.

PBA News
PBA Tournament of Champions Kicks Off 2018 Go Bowling! PBA Tour Season in U.S. Feb. 5-11
by Jerry Schneider | Friday, January 12, 8:07 AM
FAIRLAWN, Ohio - As host of the Professional Bowlers Association Tournament of Champions from 1966 to 1994, AMF Riviera Lanes in Fairlawn, Ohio has been the scene of some of the most memorable moments in PBA history.
That tradition will resume when AMF Riviera Lanes hosts the return of the PBA's signature tournament Feb. 5-11 after a 24-year absence. The first major championship of the 2018 Go Bowling! PBA Tour 60th Anniversary season will culminate with a live ESPN finals telecast Sunday, Feb. 11 at 1 p.m. EST.
Highlighting the list of PBA champions competing for the title will be a cast of former TOC winners including defending champion EJ Tackett, Jesper Svensson (2016), Jason Belmonte (2014, 2015); PBA Hall of Famers Pete Weber (1989, 2013), Norm Duke (1994), Johnny Petraglia (1971), Sean Rash (2012), Chris Barnes (2006) and Tommy Jones (2007).
With nine PBA major wins to his credit, the spotlight will be focused on Belmonte as the 34-year-old two-handed player from Australia has already established himself as one of PBA's all-time great players. During a PBA career that spans only 10 years, Belmonte is one major title away from tying Weber and Hall of Famer Earl Anthony for the most all-time major wins with 10.
When the TOC was last held at AMF Riviera Lanes in 1994, Duke won the event with a 217-184 victory over Eric Forkel. At that time, Belmonte was 11 years old and the PBA had never seen a two-handed player. Even when AMF Riviera Lanes last hosted a PBA Tour event, the 2005 Pepsi Championship (a standard Tour event won by Chris Collins), Belmonte was two years away from making his PBA debut.
As the PBA's signature tournament, a player must have won a PBA title to be eligible to enter, and this time, Belmonte won't be the only two-handed player in the field. Of the 80 players who will compete this year, 70 will be PBA Tour winners – including two-handers Svensson (who became the youngest TOC winner ever when he won the 2016 title at age 21), Osku Palermaa of Finland and Texan Anthony Simonsen. An additional 10 players who are not national tour winners but own titles in PBA's other divisions (PBA50, regional, PBA50 regional), will have the opportunity to qualify for the field by competing in an eight-game TOC pre-tournament qualifier on Feb. 5.
Competition begins with two six-game qualifying rounds on Feb. 7 at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. The entire field will then return on Feb. 8 for a final six-game qualifying round at 11 a.m. After 18 qualifying games, the top 24 players will advance to the traditional TOC round-robin match play finals, bowling eight head-to-head-matches at 6 p.m. on Feb. 8, and on Feb. 9 at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Total pinfall for 42 games, including match play bonus pins, will determine the top five players for Sunday's stepladder finals.
PBA's online bowling channel Xtra Frame will provide full coverage of all preliminary rounds. Xtra Frame also will provide live coverage of a special best-of-three-game "King of Bowling" match between the reigning KOB, Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, and a challenger who will be selected in fan voting. For subscription and schedule information visit www.xtraframe.tv.
The PBA Tournament of Champions originated in Indianapolis in 1962, but was discontinued until 1965 when it returned as the Firestone Tournament of Champions at Firestone Bowlorama in Akron, in the first year of PBA's long-standing "Pro Bowlers Tour" series on ABC-TV. The event moved to Riviera Lanes in 1966 and continued there through 1994.
The 2018 Tournament of Champions will be the first of three consecutive PBA Tour events that are part of PBA's "Big February" schedule, all featuring live ESPN finals. Following the TOC will be the Go Bowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic Feb. 13-18 from historic Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis and the season's second major, the Barbasol PBA Players Championship from Wayne Webb's Columbus Bowl in Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 19-25.
Spectator passes for the TOC pre-tournament qualifier on Feb. 5 and the official practice session on Feb. 6 are $10. Spectator passes for qualifying and match play rounds Feb. 7-9 range from $15-$20 with all-day passes available for $20 and $30. Tickets for the stepladder finals range from $30-$50, if purchased in advance online at www.pba.com/tickets, and $50-$70 if purchased at the door. Tickets for all preliminary rounds will be available at the door.
Grassroots league bowlers who would like to participate in the TOC pro-am will have three opportunities on Saturday, Feb. 10. Squads will bowl at noon, 3 and 6 p.m. For pro-am entry information, contact AMF Riviera Lanes at 330-836-7985.

Now that I sit in the Big Chair, I get briefed about workload throughout the hospital. Everyone saw about 10% fewer patients in the last month and a half. Many are ready to chalk this up to success with the surge and I tend to agree, as least in part. It could also be the fact that the weather is not conducive to bad guys running amok.
Get this – it's snowing right now! Big, fat, fluffy flakes. One more surreal thing to add to this deployment. On my 1.5 mile walk to and from breakfast this morning, I looked with wonder at the flakes coming down in the moonlight. I must admit I even caught a few on my tongue until I thought better of it. Who knows what's floating in the air here?
I promise to have a poker post up soon, including a picture of the player of the year board. I'm way ahead in points right now.

Owens took a phone and recorded a selfie promo, which he claims to have been doing for six years before everyone else started doing them. He claims not to receive any credit for starting the fad, just like he doesn't get any credit for being one of the most decorated WWE Superstars in recent years. Owens then vowed to take the WWE Title from AJ Styles at Fastlane next month on pay-per-view (PPV):

Running as a Rest Day
I really cannot stand to sit still. I have a lot of restless energy and if I don't put it towards something active, I end up wrecking havoc on others and stirring up trouble. Today I should have been relaxing, or working on lesson plans and my class play, but instead I was pacing around the house. I did spend some time painting scenery, but it was just too nice out to stay inside. I decided I needed a polish change anyway, and set out for a little run to the nail salon. I added a loop around the cul-de-sac and had a nice 2.5 mile route (according to the Nike+ GPS app). I don't feel like I worked out per se, but at least I can sit still long enough to type this and have calmed my mind down. Those tree stumps aren't going to paint themselves.

What is Google Analytics?
Google Analytics is a free service from Google that lets you track visitors on your website. This is most commonly used for marketing purposes.
Why add Google Analytics to your Cliniko online bookings?
Using Google Analytics here will let you see how many visitors come to your online bookings page, as well as where they came from (eg. which site they were referred from). You can also see information on their behaviour while on your online bookings page.
Setting up Google Analytics with your Cliniko online bookings
Create a new Property in your Google Analytics Account.
If you already have a Google Analytics property for a website you plan to link to your bookings page (or embed a bookings widget) you can skip this step and use the same tracking ID from your existing property in your Cliniko settings.
If you haven't set up any properties in your Google Analytics account, here's how to get started:
1. Create a new property in Google Analytics (follow this link for more info):
2. Select
https:// from the Website URL dropdown menu, and then paste your online bookings URL into the Website URL field:
3. After clicking Get Tracking ID, select the Property Settings tab in Google Analytics and copy your Tracking ID:
Enter your Google Analytics Tracking ID into Cliniko
4. Paste your Tracking ID into the Google Analytics Tracking ID field in the Online bookings settings within Cliniko:
5. Save your online booking settings and you're good to go!
☝Note: Keep in mind it may take some time (up to 24 hours) for data to appear in your new Google Analytics Online Bookings property. If you would like to check your web tracking code setup, Google provides some helpful documentation.
Update: Cliniko now offers limited support for cross-domain tracking
☝Note: Keep in mind this is very technical, and probably not for everyone. If you're interested in learning more about what Cross-Domain Tracking can do for you, we suggest having a chat with your website developer.
What is cross-domain tracking?
Cross-domain tracking is a feature of Google Analytics (GA) which allows you to share your GA cookie across multiple domains. This could be helpful for Cliniko customers who link to their Cliniko online bookings pages from a separate domain, and want to track clicks to their online bookings pages in the same session.
What does limited support mean?
Cross-domain tracking requires modifications to the GA snippet on both the source domain (e.g. customer-website.com), and the destination domain (e.g. customer-online-bookings-page.cliniko.com).
We have enabled cross-domain tracking by default for customers who add their GA Tracking IDs to their online bookings pages (see how we've done this below), but due to the number of possible source domain configurations we may be unable to provide technical support for GA setup on all non-Cliniko websites..
Additionally, it should be noted at this time we only support linker parameters from referring source domains (more on this below).
In any event we would suggest working with your webmaster or developer to configure your source domain, and would gladly refer them here if they have questions about the GA setup on your Cliniko online bookings page.
How is cross-domain tracking configured on Cliniko online bookings pages?
For Cliniko customers who have enabled GA we've automatically enabled cross-domain tracking. The GA snippet on each online bookings page has been updated by setting the allowLinker configuration parameter to true:
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXX-X', 'auto', {
'allowLinker': true
When allowLinker is set to true, analytics.js will check the URL to see if a valid linker parameter exists and extract the proper values it needs.
☝Note: If you choose not to enable cross-domain tracking on a separate source domain there are no consequences of enabling it by default on your online bookings page.
Where can I find more onformation?
To configure cross-domain tracking for online bookings pages we consulted with GA Developers documentation as well as GA Support.
If you're interested in configuring cross-domain tracking on a separate source domain we recommend referring your webmaster or developer the pages linked to above.

and Receive Complimentary E-Books of Previous Editions
The world of higher education is growing and shrinking. As tertiary enrollment around the world grows and the number of international students increases, English asa Lingua Franca (ELF) is shrinking distances between people in higher education. ELF is present in the higher education teaching activity where it is known as English as the Medium of Instruction (EMI), especially where students using English as a Second Language (ESL) are involved. The roles of ELF and EMI in higher education research and the teaching of international students have become so pervasive that it is producing change even in non-Anglophone national systems of higher education. With large numbers of EMI programmes now being offered by tertiary institutions in some of those nations, it appears that we are in the early stage of intercontinental, systemic change. An expanding circle of tertiary students in those institutions are being taught in EMI and they are learning in ESL: some are local students and some are international students but all are using English as part of this systemic change.
I have several objectives in this chapter. I summarize trends in EMI developments in many non-Anglophone European and Asian countries which affect both international and local students. I focus on those countries since they are where systemic change towards EMI is nascent. Integral to the change are local and international students as well as faculty increasingly using English as a Second Language in higher education. While accepting that as a policy EMI can be one of several pillars supporting an institution's broader goal to internationalize, I want to argue that without developing solid EMI pedagogy to operationalize an EMI policy, such a policy pillar may be porous or in other ways unstable, thus endangering the broader goal to internationalize. Hence, I will also look at broader issues of globalization and internationalization and how those are tied to the growth of higher education and English. The relationship of these components is presented in Figure 1. My other objectives in this chapter are to problematize EMI in higher education, present an argument for EMI's importance in internationalization, and present a model for EMI pedagogy.
EMI pedagogy in the context of internationalization/globalization

Ivory Coast name former Belgium coach Marc Wilmots as new manager
Former Belgium manager Marc Wilmots has been hired as the new coach of the Ivory Coast national team.
Ivory Coast are coming off a disappointing showing at the African Nations Cup, where they were eliminated in the group phase.
Wilmots led Belgium for four years, reaching the quarterfinals at both the 2014 World Cup and last year's European Championship.
After losing to Wales in the Euro 2016 quarterfinals, Wilmots was derided for failing to get Belgium's best crop of players any further in the tournament.

Part 6 of a position-by-position Saskatchewan Roughriders training camp preview, focusing on the linebackers.
Solomon Elimimian's signing adds another star to Roughriders' defence
Jeremy O'Day had an emphatic response to one of the big questions that was looming over the Saskatchewan Roughriders' linebackers.
The Riders' general manager did that with Thursday's signing of former B.C. Lions star linebacker Solomon Elimimian.
The addition of Elimimian answers how the Riders will replace Samuel Eguavoen, who led the Green and White with 81 defensive tackles in 2018 before signing with the NFL's Miami Dolphins.
In 2018, Eguavoen also had three sacks and nine tackles for losses. He scored touchdowns on an interception return and blocked punt.
Elimimian is a more than capable replacement. He has done it all as a player, from winning the CFL's most-outstanding-rookie award in 2010 to being named the most outstanding defensive player in 2014 and 2016. In 2014, he became the first defensive player in the modern era to win most outstanding player.
The four-time CFL all-star has surpassed 100 defensive tackles three times (in 2014, 2016 and 2017), is B.C.'s all-time leader in defensive tackles (745), and shared in the Lions' 2011 Grey Cup championship.
He's 32 and is coming off a 2018 season in which he was limited to four games by a wrist injury.
The previous time Elimimian was sidelined by an injury (in 2015 by a ruptured Achilles tendon), he bounced back in 2016 with 129 defensive tackles and then set a CFL single-season record with 144 in 2017. The latter total exceeded by one the league record he had established in 2014.
Elimimian provides the Riders with experience and options. He has primarily been a middle linebacker, but has experience in his early days as a weak-side linebacker. Despite his size (6-foot-2 and 225 pounds) Elimimian is among the league's hardest hitters.
The Riders were prepared to go with Sam Hurl and Cameron Judge at middle linebacker before Elimimian's signing. That will likely change with the possibility of Judge and/or Hurl moving to weak-side linebacker.
Hurl and Judge were effective as middle linebackers in 2018 and both players finished with 41 defensive tackles. Hurl isn't flashy but he remains a solid veteran. Judge showed marked improvement as his second CFL season progressed.
Strong-side linebacker Derrick Moncrief was limited to 12 games by a shoulder injury in 2018, but still recorded 42 defensive tackles and was solid in pass coverage. A healthy Moncrief could be a difference-maker as an outside linebacker.
Elimimian isn't the lone former Lions linebacker who could make a contribution on defence. The Riders signed DyShawn Davis shortly after the CFL's free-agency period kicked off on Feb. 12.
The quickness of the signing shows how highly the Riders think of Davis, who registered 13 defensive tackles in 17 games with the Lions last season.
Davis, 26, stood out with 22 special-teams tackles, tied for fourth in the league. The Riders place a great deal of emphasis on special teams and players like Davis fit that requirement.
The criteria is also met by Alexandre Gagne and Alexandre Chevrier, who were teammates with University of Sherbrooke Vert et Or before joining the Riders.
In 2018, Gagne led the Riders with 23 special-teams tackles and Chevrier was third with 17. Those two national players don't see much action on defence, but their special-teams contributions are considerable.
Micah Teitz and Brandyn Bartlett also contributed on special teams in 2018.
The list of linebackers on the roster also includes internationals Deon King and Deion Pierre. Paul Dawson, who dressed for two games in 2018, was released on Friday.
The Riders also selected Chris Judge, Cameron's older brother, in the eighth round (71st overall) of the 2019 CFL draft. Chris Judge hasn't played competitive football since 2014 when he was named the Big Sky Conference's special-teams player of the year.
Judge, 28, said he has been working out and is expected to compete on special teams.

Yesterday, I wrote about the kind of day that just makes you want to scream. The article is called, UpBeat Living: Coping With AAAGH! (http://wp.me/pw4HM-d5 ). For people who usually have happy, productive days, a day that makes you want to scream is unusual. I made several recommendations for when this happens to you. Today, my writer friend Susan Wilson, creator of Ripplespillers, posted an article on a related experience: when worry is just overtaking you, day after day. I am reblogging her entire post here, for you who are ready to really deal with WORRY. You will love her points and pointers. Enjoy!
When worry hits you between the eyes…
by Susan Wilson, Ripplespillers
Are you a worrier?
Do you toss and turn at night, turning things over in your mind, fretful, stressed, reliving the day's events in your mind – why did she say that to me?; how can I finish that stats analysis by Thursday?; is that a spot or a lump?…
… or anticipate the next day's – must get to sleep or I'll miss the alarm clock and the bus; should visit mum after work in case she's taken another turn; have that meeting with the boss at 8.30… why so early… that can't be good…
Sound familiar?
I have to confess I'm a bit of a worrier. In fact, I could probably make that my specialist subject on Mastermind!
A headache is never just a headache to me; it's always a brain tumour.
Backache is never just a strained muscle; always kidney failure.
A midnight phone call is not an overseas friend but a family emergency
Writer's block is not just a temporary blip but a permanent state and I'll never write anything ever again…
You get the picture.
Now, I'm not saying we don't have to be careful – especially in these days of atrocities and catastrophes. We absolutely do have to keep our eyes open and our antennae raised. We have to concern ourselves with our surroundings and be alert for anything unusual.
But there's a difference between concern and worry.
Concern reminds me of the old advert for the breakfast cereal, Ready Brek, where a young boy and girl have a tasty bowl of it for breakfast, then jaunt off merrily to school surrounded with an 'aura' of heat, ready for anything, protected against everything. Concern is our invisible protection.
Worry, however, is more like a suit of armour – unyielding, unbreatheable, too heavy to move in, ending up crushing the wearer.
So, how do you spot the signs of worry?
If you're suffering from chronic insomnia, irritability, frustration, anger even, these can often be tell-tale signs. So can headaches, stomach and digestive problems, and pains that spring up anywhere at any time. In extreme cases, self-harming might also raise its ugly head – though I'd hope that, if that's you, you care enough about yourself to seek help, and seek it now!
Worry is a chronic peace-stealer which, if left unchecked, can all too easily lead to hopelessness!
The Bible has a lot to say about worry:
Worry weighs a person down (Proverbs 12:25)
Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything (Phil 4:6)
Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear… (Matt. 6:25)
And my personal favourite:
Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matt 6:34)
Ain't that the truth?
So how do you stop worrying?
- Make sure you're well-rested – your brain won't be able to process information to its optimum ability, reasonably, dispassionately, if you're tired or stressed out.
- Seize the thought, as soon as it flits across your mind.
- Decide if it's real or imagined (some of my best and most persistent worries are totally fictitious, made up in the comfort of my own head!)
- If it's real, is it something you can do something about?
- If it is, then do it: if a health issue, get it checked out; if a relationship problem, get it out in the open and talk about it with your partner (or friend, if it's a friendship thing); if it's a work problem, brainstorm actionable steps you can take to either work through it or ask for help with it.
- If it's something you have no control over, then lay it down. If you have a spiritual faith, then pray to your God. Lay all your worry – the whole thing – at his feet. Don't keep anything back. Don't just give him the hard stuff, or the stuff you think he wants to take. Give the whole thing away. Just be sure not to lift it back up again when you leave!
Sometimes turning the situation around can help, too.
For example, say you have a presentation to do on Thursday in front of your work colleagues. You're nervous, you're losing sleep, you're beginning to worry.
There could be several reasons for this:
– you might be suffering from feelings of inadequacy
– you might fear the spotlight
– you think someone will ask you something you can't answer
– you're scared you'll dry up – like a rabbit in headlights!
These are all legitimate, if usually unfounded, fears.
Turning the situation around allows you to confront your fear and, once seen, it already becomes smaller. Make it smaller still by some positive roleplay:
– see yourself not as inadequate, but powerful
– visualise yourself as relishing your time in the spotlight
– you're thoroughly prepared; if you can't answer that question, nobody can!
– you're looking forward to the opportunity to share your information
So, when worry comes calling, don't open the door and let it in. Don't let it rob you of your peace for a moment longer.

In 2013, travelers spent more than $10 billion dollars in Wisconsin. Where did all that money go? Turns out, a lot of different places. Lodging topped the list at 25.8%, followed closely by food and beverages at 25.2%. Retail came in a close third at 21%, followed by recreation at 12.9%.
Altogether, restaurants and retail captured nearly half of all visitor spending, more than hotels and recreation combined. It's clear that travelers coming to Wisconsin spread their dollars throughout the local economy, shopping on Main Street, eating at diners and restaurants, and visiting pubs and taverns in the evening. Few industries spread the wealth so thoroughly as tourism.

The First American TV Sitcom
June 16, 2013 in Trivia
"Mary Kay and Johnny" aired originally on the DuMont Network as a 15 minute live domestic comedy in 1947. It was an immediate hit and ran from November that year until March 1950 on DuMont, NBC and CBS. Media websites sitcomsonline.com, snopes.com, emmytvlegends.org and virginmedia.com all credit the program as the first American televised situation comedy.
New York City newlyweds Mary Kay and Johnny Stearns resided in a Greenwich Village apartment and worked their way through a variety of screwball situations and everyday challenges — a domestic comedy formula which would be emulated by many subsequent television programs. Unlike taboo-averse sitcoms to follow, in this forerunner program the couple on television shared a bed — another "first" of its kind in American television according to snopes.com.
In real life, the show's players actually were married. During the show's run the couple had a baby boy, Christopher. Thus the show added a third player. Baby Chris appeared on the program in a brand new bassinet before he was even one month old.
Recalling show coverage of the day, emmytvlegends.org cites "Variety's October 13, 1948 review opined: 'Much of the show's charm is traceable directly to the femme half of the team, who displayed a pleasant personality that prototyped the average conception of a young American housefrau…Storyline picked them up with Mary Kay making plans for her first baby, which is due in a couple months, and her difficulties in buying the right baby carriage. It was that simple, but also that good. Whether the gal is actually going to have a baby wasn't made clear, but it would be a neat idea for the series…'"
Mary Kay and Johnny was widely known for its sponsor Anacin. According to sitcomsonline.com, Anacin had no idea at first if anybody was watching the program. Lacking any ratings information, they invited audience viewers to send in their comments, and offered a free mirror to the first 200 respondents. They ordered 400 mirrors just in case responses exceeded their expectations. They received more than 8,000 letters.

There are plenty of times I have been out of sync with the Metascore for a movie. That probably goes without saying. I'll come home, go to the site, and think "Huh." Baby Driver is one very recent example, as 86 seems extraordinarily generous for a film that is entertaining but quite flawed. Then again, I knew its Metascore before I even entered the theater.
I can't remember a time feeling as shocked by this disconnect, though, as when I came home from Dunkirk last night.
Dunkirk has a 94 on Metacritic. I think it deserves less than half that.
In fact, the one score of 38 on there -- and I sighed in relief that at least one person agrees with me -- might even be too generous.
I ended up giving the movie two stars on Letterboxd, but I wanted to give it 1.5.
What's wrong with Dunkirk? Where to start. This is one of the most dramatically inert films in recent memory. For all the somber energy invested in meticulously recreating a famous World War II battle -- is it even a battle? -- Nolan couldn't give a whip about character development or even mounting tension. Hans Zimmer's bludgeoning score -- seriously, it's even worse than the one for Interstellar -- tells us that every moment is overloaded with dread, but otherwise we'd have no idea that anything was at stake. Images are disconnected from consequences, things are happening for apparently no reason, and the little character arcs that are meant to occur make no impression whatsoever. Oh, it's not that Nolan disregards the notion of human drama altogether in opting for something more abstract and expressionistic -- it's that the dramas he chooses are utterly uncompelling.
What went so wrong? Nothing, according to most of you. When I went on Letterboxd to log my two-star rating, I saw a five-star rating from a person I trust on the landing page. Of the film's 50 positive reviews on Metacritic, 29 are grades of a perfect 100, including three critics whose opinions I've held dear throughout my career: Joe Morgenstern, Dana Stevens and Richard Roeper, all three of whom I've spoken to, and the last two of whom I've had my picture taken with (including Dana Stevens just in May).
Why did I see such a different movie than most of these people? It's hard to say. When you are in the minority on a film, the inclination is of course to view it as a "you problem." You figure you must lack some essential component of your critical faculties that allows you to appreciate what the film is doing. Or, you demand a film to fit into a certain conventional box, the inability to fit into that box being what makes it great. Maybe that is indeed the case with me and Dunkirk.
But I don't think so. This film is a fucking bore. Christopher Nolan is so impressed with his ability to film fighter planes moving in space -- an undeniable strength of the film -- that he doesn't seem to care whether he gave us any characters to relate to. I don't mind that we don't know their names, as there are some great films out there where we never learn any names. I mind the fact that they don't have names or personalities. They are just pawns in Nolan's desire to mount a moving Life magazine photograph. And that's all he's done.
And that's not enough.
I look forward to engaging with other people on this, figuring out the deficits in my character that led me to have so totally missed the boat, so to speak, on this film. But I can't do that for now. In fact, I can't even read Dunkirk's one mixed review -- thank you, Rex Reed -- or Dunkirk's one negative review -- thank you, Jake Cole -- for now. The reason for this is that I'm recording a podcast about this tomorrow night, and I want my bile to be untainted by the bile a few others have already spewed on the topic.
A very few others.
On this podcast, my fellow podcaster will insist that the reason I didn't like it was that I was drunk when I saw it. And the reason he will say this is that I told him I was drunk in a text message about 20 minutes before the movie started. And the reason I know he liked it, even though we don't usually share our opinions on the films before we meet for the recording, is because he pleaded with me to go the next day to an IMAX screening when I was sober, rather than seeing it on Friday night with four glasses of wine in me, at a theater that has no really big screens.
The four glasses of wine -- and a beer -- were courtesy of a volunteer thank you party for my contributions to the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival (HRAFF) earlier this year (though mostly last year, when most of the heavy screening occurred). I had expected this to be a tame little affair that I could quickly skip out of -- it had been held in the organization's tiny office the year before -- and I planned to stay no longer than 30 minutes, leaving in time to watch a 6:40 showing of The Beguiled before my 9:20 Dunkirk.
But this year the party was held in a private room at a pretty cool bar, and when 6:30 rolled around and I was still enjoying myself, I gave Sofia Coppola's film with the middling reviews (at least among my friends) a pass. And got into one of those rambling, animated cinephile discussions with two women about films we love and hate, using the thinnest of connective tissue to jump from one film to the next -- the kind of discussions that are especially well lubricated by wine. I became so engrossed that I nearly didn't leave in time for Dunkirk.
Given my thoughts on the film, I am immensely glad I did not sacrifice that experience for the movie, and also that I did not shift around a Saturday with my family in order to see Dunkirk on IMAX (and pay for it out of my own pocket, something I wasn't having to do on Friday night on the smaller screen).
But the question is, did being "drunk" -- how far along on that spectrum I was is debatable -- impact my enjoyment of the film?
As I am biased here and predisposed to endorse my own decision making, I'm going to say "no." But I guess I can't really say for sure, because I can't see it for the first time sober as a point of comparison.
What I can say is that falling asleep was not a problem as I watched the film, which I always figure to be the biggest danger in a film starting at 9:20, whether you're drunk or not. As I said, I was bored, but it was not because the alcohol was making me distractable. It's because Christopher Nolan made a boring film.
I don't even think IMAX would have helped. I was able to appreciate this film's visual accomplishments just fine on the screen where I saw it, and I honestly don't think this is a case where those accomplishments, given a proper showcase, would have rendered some of the film's shortcomings less important. In fact, even in a state of somewhat compromised perceptions, I was glad to feel clear-headed enough not to be swayed by the sweet persuasions of impressive visuals. A film needs to either have a compelling story to be a success, or if not that, then just be a straight art film with no story whatsoever. Nolan's middle ground in Dunkirk is a bad place to be.
July 20th -- again
Methinks Christopher Nolan needs to concentrate more on making a good movie and less on making sure that movie comes out on July 20th.
And incidentally, how can July 20th fall on a Friday every single year?
July 20th was of course a Thursday this year, but movies get released on Thursdays in Australia, so the 20th was its release date indeed.
It may be a Warner Brothers thing, but Nolan's movies have long been perceived as a late-summer sort of counterprogramming, or maybe just a delayed infusion of prestige to a season that has already included its share of Pirates of the Caribbeans and Transformerses.
The July 20th trend got started in 2008 -- on July 18th. That's when The Dark Knight hit theaters. Its predecessor, Batman Begins, was a June release, but I guess The Dark Knight felt right in late July.
So right, in fact, that they duplicated the release strategy for Inception in 2010. It being two years later and without the benefit of any leap years in between, Inception could not land exactly on July 20th either. So July 16th was the chosen release date.
We finally get to an exact July 20th release date, with the benefit of a leap year, two years later for The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. That date may of course be etched into your memory for being the night of the horrific theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
Warner Brothers deviated from the strategy with a November 2014 release for Interstellar, but it's back with Dunkirk -- a film whose awards aspirations might have more logically dictated a November release date than Interstellar. Though I suppose some of these things have to do with when a film is actually ready to go to print.
What relationship does the release date have to the quality of the film?
None, of course. And I'm sure my criticisms of Dunkirk don't seem very substantive, since I haven't delved in to why I dislike it so much.
I could. Believe me, I could. But I guess I already feel like enough of a grinch for raining on the parades of readers who may have already bought their tickets for a screening at some point later in the weekend, but happened to do their Friday check-in with my blog before then.
But as a wise friend told me last night when I texted him my initial reactions and then apologized for shitting on a movie he was excited to see, "Maybe I will love it, maybe not. It will have nothing to do with you. When any movie comes out, there will be people who don't like it."
In the case of Dunkirk, just not very many of us.

The primary reason I bought Inglot lipstick was because of their Parabean free formula and the fact that they are not tested on animals and contain vitamin E and avocado butter. While chosing an Inglot lipstick in the shopping store, one has a feeling of swimming into a sea and catching a fish .It's relaxing(which shopping is :P) but I don't know which one to pick amongst 100 of shades. That these cost just $5 for 1.2gm made me buy some 10-15 shades and I am sharing my top 4 favourites with you.
By the way , I am just terrible in taking lot many lipstick swatches in one go.The moment I wipe off one swatch I feel as if the whole look has been spoiled.Does this happen to you also ?Moreover the 45 degree temperature makes me sweat profusely .aah! tough life of a blogger 😀 Naaah! Love being a blogger 😛
Texture and consistency of the lipstick is opaque , creamy and lasts for four hours easily. Intense shades last much longer and give even applicaion .Trust me, once you have one or two Inglot shades with you , you will surely end up buying more and complete your Inglot freedo palette which has 5 shades in it.
- Shade 64 – A highly intense shade which is creamy and glides beautifully .This shade stayed on my lips for eight good hours and then left a tint until I wiped it off thoroughly. It's a shade for those who don't believe in doing touch ups. Just have the shade on and forget about it .
- Shade 61 – A beautiful, every day warm brown shade which looks quite dark in the pan but completely different when trasnferred on your lips. It's a shade which is getting a lot of love from Indian women in this hot summer of India.
-  Shade 37 – I am obsessed with orange shades and this orange with red undertones is perfect for  me in this spring. It will suit most skin tones from lighter to deeper complexion.
- Shade 49 – Shade looks quite glossy in the swatch but comes out more matte on my lips. It's a dark red base shade with a burgundy touch in it. A shade which you would like to wear it on a date or a romantic dinner with winged eyeliner .
Happy weekend everyone.Enjoy Makeup

I am not a line waiter. I am a line hater. My maximum patience-o-meter doesn't really allow for a lot of line waiting because I need to save every ounce of patience I have for dealing with my two kids. That takes a lot and therefore, I have no patience for lines.
When Tim told me that he and the boys were going to Paris for the day to go to the top of Notre Dame, my mind immediately went back to the last time I was at Notre Dame and saw the giant line snaking around the building for this exact event (which is a different line than getting into the cathedral). Also, given that I'd used up my line-waiting annual allotment at "free museum day" a couple of weeks ago, I figured that I would take a pass on this line waiting bonanza. But……………………then I realized I would miss the view. There is only one thing that I hate more than lines and that is the feeling that I missed out on something cool. So I sucked up all my remaining patience and joined them for their Paris excursion.
We got there about 20 minutes before the opening and there was already a line snaking down the side of the building. I could feel my desire to wait in this line plummeting. But the allure of the view kept me going – barely.
As you may have realized from previous posts, the French don't know how to wait in lines. The good thing was that most of the people in the line were not French and therefore had a better understanding of line etiquette, however I was taking no chances and I stepped up my Frenchified anti-line-cutting moves. That meant gluing myself on to the back of the person in front of me. I think he was a bit scared by my proximity to him, since he kept checking his pockets to make sure his cell phone was still there.
Finally, after about 1.5 hours, we made it in! The walk up the tower was gruelling, with over 400 tiny steps to the top. Once we got there, it was worth every second of line waiting. In fact, it was worth every nano-second.
I busted out my camera, to take some outstanding photos of the gargoyles and the Eiffel Tower, only to find that my batteries were dead. I then put in the back-up batteries, and guess what? They were dead too. I think it was my cosmic payback for being a line-hater outside of a holy place, since I had at least 1.5 hours to check my camera and buy new batteries at any number of shops around Notre Dame.
At least I had my iPhone and my memory.
