The Center for Financial Privacy and Human Rights was founded in 2005 to defend privacy, civil liberties and market economics. The Center was the first non-profit human rights and civil liberties organization whose core mission recognizes traditional economic rights as a necessary foundation for a broad understanding of human rights. CFPHR is part of the Liberty and Privacy Network, a non-governmental advocacy and research 501(c)(3) organization.
We take to heart the wisdom of the late Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises:
"Defense of the individual's liberty against the encroachment of tyrannical governments is the essential theme of the history of Western civilization . . . All the marvelous achievements of Western civilization are fruits grown on the tree of liberty.
"It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments. Ideologically it belongs in the same class with political constitutions and bills of rights. The demand for constitutional guarantees and for bills of rights was a reaction against arbitrary rule and the nonobservance of old customs by kings."

Love Brand & Co
Already available to buy online and in some premium UK boutiques, Love Brand & Co. have finally opened their first store dedicated solely to their own range.
The founding concept of the brand, which was launched in 2011, was to deliver "fashion for the love of elephants". With this motto in mind, not only does Love Brand & Co. offer luxury beachwear to fashionable men, but the brand also donates 5% of its sales to elephant conservation, supporting select elephant charities: Elephant Family, The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Tusk Trust.
Despite some ethical brands falling short in terms of aesthetics – with products often appearing as an afterthought to the moral message – Love Brand & Co. offer an exciting array of pieces that merge classic and timeless cuts with of-the-moment, trend responsive inspiration.
The flagship store is located on Chelsea's 'beach', just off Fulham Road in South West London. The location was far from chosen at random, with the brand seeking to encapsulate the relaxing feeling of being on a beach within the context of a luxury boutique setting.
The store's interior cements Love Brand & Co.'s image as that of a brand with both moral and cultural relevance. The clothes are displayed in old apple crates and on a table hand-crafted from driftwood, with another table made from recycled floorboards and ironmongery now housing iced-teas and health waters for thirsty customers. Perhaps most impressive of all, the checkout counter is formed by a perfectly restored 150 year old post office, with its original brass gates now surrounding modern touch screens instead of stamps.
This innovative, not to mention thrifty, use of up-cycled furniture not only lends itself to the cool, laid-back vibe the store is aiming to achieve, but also mirrors the brand's overall ethical and responsible philosophy, which is reiterated more obviously by the elephant statue protruding from the shop's corner – I really want one for my bedroom.
Shop the current collection now at lovebrand.com.

Anthony Hopkins works a lot, and often his heart isn't in it. But how can you really hate the guy? He's a pro in everything, and his presence is undeniable, his delivery one of the very best in Hollywood. And so there's something fitting about the Oscar-winning legend climbing into some very massive shoes, as the actor isin talks to play Alfred Hitchcock in "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho."
Hopkins, who was once attached to a previous iteration of the film from director Ryan Murphy ("Eat Pray Love") would play Hitchcock at a career crossroads — the filmmaker had fallen out of favor with audiences and didn't want to make "Psycho" at the time, believing it to be a low-rent horror beneath his talents — insisting he tackle the garish subject material despite no studio wanting to go near it ("Psycho" obviously revitalized Hitchcock's career and now is a horror touchstone). Yesterday, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" director Sacha Gervasi was announced as being a contender for the director's seat for the film, which is based heavily on the nonfiction book of the same name by Stephen Rebello.
Hopkins and Gervasi have reportedly been taking joint meetings in the last couple of weeks, discussing the script, a Black List entry in 2007 from "Black Swan" writer John McLaughlin. No word on whether Helen Mirren is also still considering the role of Hitchcock's wife, as she was a part of the Ryan Murphy version, but that's a couple we would love to see.

Casual glam
Hi everyone
Sometimes all I want to do is slip into some comfy clothes that don't require too much thought or effort. This outfit is a prime example of just that. A casual tee and basic skinnies are my go-to for a day running errands. To glam it up a little I use a bold lip colour, throw on some great earrings and strappy sandals. Good to go!

Your card is adorable!
Hmmm...if it were your husband I would say a naughty nighty for yourself, LOL
BUT.... FIL...depends on his interests. Does he hunt...a GC for ammo would be great. other than that I would say anything consumable such as baked goods, a favorite candy or alcohol, if his health allows. If not, perhaps something he can do with your MIL, like a really nice dinner out or a play they would enjoy.
Would love to know what you decide.

Love the giveaway digi!
With guys, if they have a specific itnerest -- anything at all -- I try to get them something related. But yeah, they're hard! My husband is super-easy because he's into science fiction, hockey, astronomy and space sciences, etc. My dad is very difficult to buy for.
Gift cards never hurt. ;-)

Adorable card!! Way to go! And the digi this week is awesome!
Gift for a guy? I guess it really depends on the guy! My hubby's birthday is close to Christmas, so I sometimes combine. This year, he is going away for a golf weekend for his gift. Gift cards are always a safe bet!

Good luck!

What an adorable cute card!!
Now I always have trouble with guy gifts even my husband.
How about a gift card to a store he likes.

yay I am sooo happy for you taht you finally got to craft! beautiful card by the way!
gifts for guys is a hard one lol.... my dad is the guy that has everything!!! lol and the hardest person ever to shop for... this year my dad finished his library at teh house so I was thinking I would get hom some fancy leatehr books for it...but some gifts I have done in the past for other things he loved - i did a gift basket for a xmas party...with a DVD popcorn glass bottled cocacola, some movie candies and some cute plastic popcorn canisters (they are at target again for $1) you could make it up better by getting a few movies and his fav treats etc
my dad also likes hiking and camping and outdoorsy stuff so I have gotten him stuff like that in the past...
you really just have to go off what he likes, and try to be a little creative about the gift so its something new and different but truth is he will probably love it no matter what because it was something special from you...it is the thought that counts right. best of luck finding that perfect gift! hope youll share with us what it is when you figure it out ;)

Coyle-Shapiro, Jackie, Morrow, Paula and Kessler, Ian (2006) Serving two organizations: Exploring the employment relationship of contracted employees. Human Resource Management, 45 (4). pp. 561-583.
Although growth has occurred in contract employment arrangements both in the public and private sectors, scant research has been conducted on the organizations and employees affected by these arrangements.This study examines the employment relationship of long-term contracted employees using a social exchange framework. Specifically, we examine the effects of employee perceptions of organizational support from contracting and client organizations on their (a) affective commitment to each organization and (b) service-oriented citizenship behavior. We also examine whether felt obligation toward each organization mediates this relationship. Our sample consists of 99 long-term contracted employees working for four contracting organizations that provide services to the public on behalf of a municipal government. Results indicate that the antecedents of affective commitment are similar for the client and contracting organization. Employee perceptions of client organizational supportiveness were positively related to felt obligation and commitment to the client organization. Client felt obligation mediated the effects of client perceived organizational support (POS) on the participation dimension of citizenship behavior. Our study provides additional support for the generalizability of social exchange processes to nontraditional employment relationships. Implications for managing long-term contracted employees are discussed.

In end of April I went to a small trip in Spain. I spent two weeks in Chulilla where I was first trying to onsight some harder routes and than I bolted a new 70m line in sector Balcon. It's amazing route and I hope many climbers will try it all the way to the top.
|Somewhere in Chulilla
|Anty Gravity, 8b+, 70 meters high
|1st pitch is 8a+
|2nd is 8b
For the rest day we went on a search for some new crags in Titaguas. Approach was not the easiest but we had a lot of fun finding new amazing rocks where we will bolt next time.
|New hot spot in Spain
|Amazing rocks everywhere
In Chulilla was getting too hot but I still managed to climb there and make one more route in the canyon. Heat and mosquitoes didn't bother Anja since she did her first 7c in the worst possible conditions.
|For me it was too hot to climb but Anja still did her first 7c
|New route with a little different approach
|Perfect qualiti of rock from opening bottoms up
|Many new possibilities
|Getting food is sometimes not so easy
It was time to move to Abella de la Conca. One week of bolting and I managed to make a nice summer sector where you can hide from the crazy heat.
|One week of work for bolting, for climbing all the routes maybe a bit more
Last week of my trip I went to France. On a EXPLOS film festival in Ax les Thermes where I was presenting my movie Bala Bala! Ardege is an amazing place with many different kind of climbing areas, caves and cool people. I don't know why I didn't visit this place before but I'm sure I'll be back soon. (here you can find the topos of most of the places)
|Welcome to Ax
|Sector with harder routes
|Just before the fall
|Cave has cool long overhanging, pumpy routes

Product Code: KEP-103
Producers are people who make goods or provide services. In the production process, producers combine natural, human, and capital resources. Because these productive resources are limited, producers must choose which goods or services to produce. Most adults work as producers. In exchange for their work, people earn income, which is spent on goods, services, or taxes or is saved.
Ideas & Standards
Identify producers of five different types of goods and five different types of services.
Draw and label pictures of three people who are working to produce a good or service. Label the drawing, "Responsible Citizens Work To Produce a Good or Service."
Write a paragraph entitled, "What Good or Service I Want To Produce When I Grow Up." Draw a picture to go with the paragraph.
Cut out pictures from a magazine or newspaper showing people working. Determine whether they are producing a good or service. Make a bulletin board entitled, "People Work To Produce Goods and Services."
Draw a picture of a parent or relative working. Label each picture with "Producing a Good" or "Producing a Service." Below each picture, explain whether or not the parent or relative received income for the work.
Give examples of work that people do for which they do not receive income (volunteer work, work at home, etc.).
Interview people who work to produce a good or service. Find out the number of hours they work each week, the training they received, and the good points and bad points about their jobs. Write several paragraphs summarizing the interview.
Write a poem or song about working.

The other day I was at an Ontario Early Years centre for work. The place was packed with parents, Grandparents and kids. Some moms sat back and let their kids explore, others stayed right with their child. What I didn't see was a child that was like my first. I didn't see a child that moved from thing to thing, hitting and pushing and crashing other kids toys along the way. I didn't see a kid that was swearing up a storm and finding a way to escape. I looked around and I felt longing, I wished that I had experienced what these parents were experiencing (I did experience a little with our youngest son, J, but I was also in the midst of trying to parent a very complicated child).
Early years being a mom were quite honestly extremely lonely for me. I had (and still have) one truly great friend in town and she listened to so much of my angst during that time.I don't know how she was there day after day. Meanwhile, people I thought were friends just cut me right off. One friend was a Psychometrist (a Masters degree in Psychology) and though we hadn't been friends for long I was hopeful the friendship would blossom once I had a son the same age as hers. We hung out a couple of times and at some point my son taught her son the word "bad" as in "bad boy". She was really upset about that and we didn't really talk after she witnessed one of my son's meltdowns. I really expected more from her, I thought because of what she did for a living that she would have understood our struggles. But this was not the case. The other friend to cut me off was someone I would have professed to be my best friend. We were friends for years and we were godparents to all 3 of her children. She co-hosted my baby shower with the Psychometrist. She watched my son for me when no one else could/would but she became convinced that we were not parenting him properly because if we were he wouldn't be acting the way that he was. In a fit of exasperation one day after watching him she completely cut us off. It was a painful break up and I missed our godchildren but I had no idea how to make it better so I let the friendship go.
So there I was,with a swearing, kicking, screaming 3.5 year old and I had 1 friend in town. All my friendships from work fell by the wayside – that was as much my fault as anyone else's. Reaching out to people seemed like so much work and I just didn't have the energy after dealing with C all day. It wasn't until years later that I really understood how lonely I was during that time. It's amazing how it still hurts after all this time. I wish I could go back and change how I managed those early years. He still would have struggled and I still would have been exhausted but it would have been good to not have been so lonely.

Here is the original huge holiday fabric stash! The runner tops used up about 10 yards of fabric.
|The stash before starting.
|The seven chevron runner tops. I also made four checkerboard tops and three tumbler runners.
|These got used up for backing
After I got pieced the backing, I also used up lots of batting strips, using some Heat Press Batting Together Batting Tape. I pinned the first few, then I took advantage of the nice weather, and used quilting adhesive spray (outside) to stick the rest together. I used a can of 505 that I had on hand, and got another of Dritz. Both worked fine.
On to the quilting - I started with the first runner, trying a leaf motif on each strip of fabric. That took way too long - I am giving these out this Christmas - not in 2020!
|The time consuming (and not particularly beautiful) leaf pattern.
Using that as an inspiration, I quilted the rows in the big loopy loop -
|The ribbon motif on the back.
For the checkboard tops, I used a big zig zag stitch with my walking foot, and spaced the lines fairly evenly.
Quite a lot of fabric (about 7 yards) got used making the backs. Here's a look at all of the backs -

Enjoy the start of Fall!

Switching to Outlaw from Corona Project Manager (CPM) should be this easy:
Step 1: Download the latest version of Outlaw from the download page.
Step 2. Install it. (Windows: Unzip then double-click the installer file. Mac OS X: Double-click the DMG to mount it then drag Outlaw.app into your Applications folder.)
Step 3: Make sure CPM is not running and then launch Outlaw.
Step 4: Get your new registration key for Outlaw at this page. (link opens new window/tab)
That should be all it takes — if Outlaw hasn't run before and it sees a copy of CPM it will ask if you want to import all the projects.
If you've been using the Lite version of Outlaw and have projects you want to keep — and also have projects in CPM that you want, I can't help you. Seriously, there's no way to pull individual projects from CPM into Outlaw or merge the project databases.
At least not now.
And honestly, I don't want to write the code to do that because it's boring. It's boring and is only needed one time for probably a few dozen people (early adopters to Outlaw). So unless people start surrounding my house with pitchforks this is probably as good as it gets with the import thing.
What happens if…
You've Been Using CPM But Outlaw Didn't Import
If Outlaw starts but didn't ask whether it should import CPM projects it's probably because of one of these two things:
1. You've already been using Outlaw so there's an existing project database.
If that's the case, see above — there's no way to merge the two. But if you want to just switch to the CPM database and recreate whatever you've put into Outlaw, see below.
2. You have CPM installed where Outlaw can't find it. If that's the case, you can swap the Outlaw project database for the CPM database using the instructions below.
Here's the TL;DR version: Grab the cpm.rsd file from the CPM utility folder and plop it into the Outlaw utility folder, then rename it outlaw.rsd (both CPM and Outlaw should not be running when you do the plopping and renaming).
For this of you who like steps, follow these:
1. Launch CPM and go to Tools > Show Utility Folder and a window will open (Finder window on Mac, Explorer window on Windows).
2. Shut down CPM.
3. In that window, find the cpm.rsd file and make a copy of it. Name that copy outlaw.rsd and put it aside for a minute.
4. Launch Outlaw and go to Tools > Show Utility Folder.
5. Shut down Outlaw.
6. In the Outlaw window that opened from Step 4, find the outlaw.rsd file and rename it outlawz.rsd (or anything, really, we're just getting it out of the way).
7. Copy the outlaw.rsd file from Step 3 into the Outlaw window.
You should be good to go — when you launch Outlaw now it will be using the project database from CPM that you just moved into place.
You will have to register Outlaw the first time you launch after that.

Megger® DET62D
Digital Ground Resistance Testers
- Simple, fully automatic operation
- Three terminal measurement for ground electrode testing
- Superior noise rejection to 40 V
- High tolerance to spike resistance
- Weatherproof case, protection to IP54
- Simple to use, one touch operation
- Auto switch off to save battery power
- Rugged, weatherproof case
- Large, clear LCD
- Indicators show if reading may be invalid
- Terminal shorting bars supplied
- Earth testing kits available
- Optional carrying case and harness
The DET62D is a fully automatic, three terminal instrument built into a rugged, water resistant case giving protection for outdoor use. The instrument is suitable for the testing of single ground electrodes such as lightning conductors and other small grounding systems. The resistance of conductors such as conduit coupling joints can also be measured.
Ground resistance can be measured directly from 100 mΩ to 2 kΩ. The ground resistance reading is displayed quickly and accurately on a large, clear 3 1/2 digit liquid crystal display. LEDs indicate when there is a high auxiliary current spike or voltage probe resistance which may affect the ground resistance measurement. The instrument uses the three-terminal method of measurement in which the 'X terminal is connected to the electrode under test and the 'C' and 'P' terminals are connected to temporary, remote current and potential electrodes. Operation is started by pushing a button on the front panel. All other functions of the DET62D are completely automatic. The instrument checks for conditions that may cause an invalid reading during a test. The low service error and wide operating temperature range enable accurate results to be achieved in real on-site conditions.
The test frequency has been chosen to avoid interference from stray currents at power frequencies and their harmonics. An LED indicates when the noise interference is too high to take a valid reading.
Six 1.5 V AA dry cells provide power for the DET62D allowing 700 typical 15 second tests. A low battery symbol on the display gives an indication of battery condition. The instrument is built into a small, lightweight case that has been designed for outdoor use and has IP54 protection. Three large terminals allow either spade or hook connectors, 4 mm plugs or bare ended wire to be used for the test leads. A terminal shorting bar is provided for continuity testing or ground electrode measurement using the 'dead ground' method. A removable cover allows access to the battery compartment.
Current Loop Interface:Voltages of 60 V pk to pk, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 200 Hz or 16-2/3 Hz in the current loop will have a maximum effect of 1% on the reading with minimal current loop resistance.
Maximum Current Loop Resistance:An additional error of typically 1% will be introduced for current loop resistances of: 200 Ω Range: 40 kΩ 2 kΩ Range: 400 kΩ If the 'Rc' light is not showing, the maximum error will not exceed 2%. Note: With minimal current loop interference. The instrument will indicate if a combination of current loop interference and resistance are likely to cause an error in the reading.
Maximum Voltage Probe Resistance:An additional error of typically 1% will be introduced for a voltage probe resistance of 75 kΩ. If the 'Rp' light is not showing, the maximum error will not exceed 2%.
Terminals:Binding posts suitable for 4 mm plugs, bare ended wire and spade adapters.
EMC:The instrument meets EN50081-1 and EN50082-1 (1992).
- Ground electrode testing is an important part of electrical installation and maintenance procedure. The DET62D can be used by the electrical contractor or maintenance engineer to check the effectiveness of many types of earth electrode or earth electrode systems or for measuring the resistance of conductors.
- The DET62D digital ground tester is a reliable instrument able to measure the earth resistance of simple electrode systems. Suitable for testing to the NE code and other international wiring regulations including IEC364, VDE 0413, and BS7671, the DET62D can be used in a wide variety of applications.
- The direct indication of excessive noise and high spike resistances avoids measurement errors and lengthy testing of these parameters. The direct digital reading is unambiguous, avoids errors and assists in faster, more economic testing.

January through April: Nice
Negotiations with the publishing firm of Veit and Co. for a "second volume" of Morgenröte [Dawn] seem promising, but fail because Schmeitzner refuses to give up the remaining volumes of Allzumenschliches [All Too Human].
FN works on preparing a clean copy of material he initially envisions for a new volume of Allzumenschliches. In the process, he changes his plans, deciding to publish the new material as a new book to be called Jenseits von Gut und Böse [Beyond Good and Evil]. FN's attempt to interest the Berlin publishing firm Carl Duncker in the new book fails.
Mid-March: Rohde visits for several days in Basel.
Bernhard Föster and his wife, FN's sister Elisabeth, depart for South America in early February, with some one hundred settlers. They arrive in Asuncion, the capital of Paraguary, in mid-March.
May and June: Venice, München, Naumburg, Leipzig
While in Leipzig, FN conducts negotiations for the publication of his works. FN's original publisher Fritzsch negotiates with Schmeitzner for the rights to the published works, and FN decides to have his future works be published at his expense by the firm C. G. Naumann. While in Leipzig, FN delivers the manuscript of Jenseits von Gut und Böse to Naumann for typesetting.
Also while in Leipzig, FN has numerous meetings with Rohde (from June 5th to the 27th). These prove disappointing. Unable to resolve their differences, this is the last time they meet during FN's sane life. During this time, Rohde learns of his appointment to the university in Heidelberg.
Late June to September: Sils-Maria
Title page for Jenseits von Gut und Böse.
Fifth summer in Sils-Maria. Discussions and outings with Meta von Salis, Emily Flynn, Helen Zimmern.
The printing of Jenseits von Gut und Böse. Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunft [Beyond Good and Evil. Prelude of a Philosophy of the Future] concludes at the end of July. FN again contracts with Naumann for the typesetting and printing. The print run is 600 copies and lists a selling price of five marks. The list of complimentary copies is very lengthy with 66 recipients. It includes the usual recipients (among others Rohde, Burkhardt, Overbeck, Gottfried Keller, Hans von Bülow, Georg Brandes, and now Helen Zimmern) but now contains a fair number sent to magazine writers in hopes of reviews (some of these are: Kreuzzeitung, Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, Westminister Review, and Litterarisches Zentralblatt.). Amusingly, FN, as anti-Christian a writer as one could ever imagine, sends a review copy to a writer for the Litterarischer Handweiser für das katholische Deutschland [Literary Guide for Catholic Germany]. A review of the book by J. V. Widmann appears in the Berner Bund in mid-September.
Fritzsch receives the new preface to volume one of Allzumenschliches and a new concluding poem. In August, Fritzsch is able to conclude an agreement with Schmeitzner for the purchase of the remaining copies of FN's works.
Title page for the second edition of Geburt der Tragödie.
FN provides Fritzsch with a new preface for the first volume of Allzumenschliches and a new concluding poem. Fritzsch binds together the first three parts of Zarathustra, allowing the work to appear as a single volume for the first time. In late August, FN sends Fritzsch the Versuch einer Selbstkritik [Attempt at a self-criticism] for the new issuing of Geburt der Tragödie [Birth of Tragedy].
October: Genua, Ruta Ligure
Completes the preface to the second volume of Allzumenschliches and works on the second editions of Morgenröthe and Fröhliche Wissenschaft.
Reserved and distant letter from Jacob Burkhardt regarding Jenseits von Gut und Böse.
Title page for the second edition of Allzumenschliches.
Excerpts from the notebooks
Das "Sein" wir haben keine andere Vorstellung davon als "leben". Wie kann also etwas Todtes "sein"? ["Being" we have no other conception of it other than "life". How can something dead "be"?] (KGW VIII-1 p. 151)
wir glauben an die Vernunft: diese aber ist die Philosophie der grauen Begriffe, die Sprache ist auf die aller naivsten Vorurtheile hin gebaut... Das vernünftige Denken ist ein Interpretiren nach einem Schema, welches wir nicht abwerfen können. [We believe in reason: it is however the philosophy of grey concepts, language is built upon the most naive prejudices... Rational thought is an interpretation according to a scheme that we cannot throw off.] (KGW VIII-1 p. 197)
November and December: Nice
Work continues on the fifth book of Fröhliche Wissenschaft.
Readings: Renan; Sybel, Geschichte der Revolutionszeit 1789-1800 [History of the Revolutionary Period 1789-1800]; Montalembert, Moines d'Occident [Monks of the West]. Accidentally "discovers" Dostoevsky in French translation and likens it to his discoveries of Schopenhauer and Stendhal. To Overbeck FN writes: "...meine Freude war außerordentlich: ich muß bis zu meinem Bekanntwerden mit Stendhals Rouge et Noir zurückgehen, um einer gleichen Freude mich zu erinnern." [...my joy was extraordinary: I would have to go back to my acquaintance with Stendhals Rouge et Noir to recall the same degree of delight].
Reports to Overbeck on 14 November the completion of new prefaces for Morgenröte [Dawn] and Fröhliche Wissenschaft [Gay Science].
Overbeck visits Rohde in Heidelberg during December.

excerpt from Chapter Ten of the CMP Program Development Guide which
is provided to all people who participate in one of the Training
& Development Workshops Sponsored by CMP Concussion Management
Partners Inc.)
The first thing we would like to
make perfectly clear is that when we refer to "baseline" assessment,
we are not simply talking about computerized neurocognitive testing.
Unfortunately, the media has focused on the growing popularity of some of
the high-profile baseline tests on the market and most people use
"baseline test" as a general term to describe the tests.
A baseline is a starting point.
It is what one would consider normal for a particular individual. This is
another very important point. Everybody has a different baseline.
Everybody also has a number of baselines to consider when it comes to
skill development, intellectual ability, physical ability, etc..
When it comes to the
identification and rehabilitation of a person who has a concussion it is
critical that we know their baseline levels in a number of areas in order
for us to determine, first of all if any change has occurred that would
signify a traumatic brain injury and secondly to determine the rate of
recovery. We consider recovery to have been successful if the person has
"returned to baseline levels".
In order to have an effective
concussion management program for student-athletes, it is important for a
number of different baseline assessments to be completed. These baseline
assessments will provide reference points against which we can check
post-injury assessments when we are attempting to identify a concussion
and will also give us a target to work towards while we are helping a
person recover from such an injury.
The following five baseline
assessments are recommended:
A medical doctor already has a
structural baseline in that he/she knows what is normal with respect to
the condition of a skull, intracranial pressure, blood vessel structure,
and muscle structure in the neck;
A parent can establish a baseline
assessment of activities and functioning levels at home;
A teacher can establish a baseline
assessment of performance in the classroom;
The coach can establish a baseline
assessment of basic sport-related skills;
A computerized neuropsychological
assessment of cognitive abilities can be obtained;
Whereas we have been
recommending a partner approach to concussion management, it stands to
reason that each of the partners should be able to have a baseline against
which they can compare when it comes to identifying possible concussions.
Without the baseline, you really don't have a valid reference point. We
will spend a little bit of time reviewing what each of the partners may
consider when establishing their own baseline assessment for the
student-athlete. When a school board, post-secondary institution or minor
sports association develops a customized student-athlete concussion
management program, this is something that should be given a great deal of
attention. The program should include specific guides for each of the
partners so that they can perform their baseline assessments and have
information on hand to be used at a later date if necessary.
A doctor doesn't need to
perform a "structural baseline assessment" on a student-athlete. When
a doctor examines an injured student-athlete he/she knows what a normal
skull looks like. It does not have any cracks. He/she knows what the
normal intracranial pressure should be, therefore, if the pressure is
increased it is easy to diagnose swelling of the brain or internal
bleeding. An MRI or CT scan will show if there are any abnormalities with
respect to broken blood vessels in the brain or muscle damage in the neck
area. This is why we recommend that a visit to the doctor should be the
first step in the identification process. Any change in basic physical
structure could be serious and even life-threatening. When it comes to any
kind of injury, the first treatment of the patient is to make sure that
the person's life is not in danger. Once that has been determined, then
you can deal with the non-life-threatening matters.
should be encouraged to create a "baseline" assessment of normal
activities that their child is involved with at home.
are many simple home baseline assessments you can do with your child
that involve balance, memory recall speed, etc. If you look at some of the
signs and symptoms of concussion we are sure you can come up with some
simple tests you can do right at home so that when you do a post-injury
assessment you will be able to compare to help you identify a concussion.
teachers are also a very important part of the concussion management
program, therefore we recommend that they should be encouraged to create a
"baseline" assessment of classroom performance for student-athletes
who are participating on high-risk teams.
coach plays a huge role in all aspects of the concussion management
program. Therefore, we recommend that a "performance baseline"
assessment be given to each of the student-athletes at the beginning of
the season and repeated several times during practice sessions. This would
require an assessment of the basic sport-related skill level for each
player and would also include attitudinal, emotional and behavioural
When it comes to baseline and
post-injury assessments, it is always desirable to rely on objective
measurements. Parents/guardians, coaches and classroom teachers will be
able to include some objective assessments into their baselines, but in
many cases they are making subjective observations of behaviours and
functions that are measured along a spectrum which is often hard to
However, the structural
assessment done by a medical doctor is very specific and objective. You
know when a skull is fractured. You know when the intracranial pressure is
elevated. You know when a blood vessel is broken. You know when there is
muscle damage in the neck.
So too, when it comes to
computerized neurocognitive assessment, everything is pretty much
objective. The performance is measured and a baseline score is
We strongly recommend that all Student-Athlete
Concussion Management Programs include the use of a neuropsychological, or
as it is often referred to, a neurocognitive test as one of the methods of
identifying a concussion and tracking the recovery of student-athletes who
have suffered a brain injury.
Experts contend that each student-athlete who is
injured must be managed on an individual basis, therefore by incorporating
neurocognitive assessment as part of our program we can help to
objectively evaluate a concussed student-athlete's post-injury
condition, keep track of the rate of recovery during the rehabilitation
period, and ensure a safer return to play. Our goal is to prevent the
cumulative effects of concussion from returning to play too early and
risking subsequent injuries.
There are a number of neurocognitive assessment
options available to school boards. We recommend ImPACT. Dr. Michael
Czarnota, Ph. D., the consulting neuropsychologist for CMP Concussion
Management Partners Inc., is a credentialed ImPACT consultant who has been
working with athletes since 1998. It is his opinion that ImPACT is one of
the best and most recognized of all neurocognitive tests available for
Physical Education Safety Guidelines developed by the Ontario Physical and
Health Education Association (OPHEA) in partnership with the Ontario
School Boards' Insurance Exchange (OSBIE), the Ontario Association for
the Supervision of Physical and Health Education (OASPHE), the Canadian
Intramural Recreation Association – Ontario (CIRA), and the Ontario
Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) recognizes the
importance of using neuropsychological testing.
OPHEA guideline states that "A concussion is more successfully evaluated
if the student/athlete completes a neuropsychological baseline evaluation
prior to beginning the sport season."
Therefore, whereas
school boards are committed to providing the highest standard of care
possible for its student-athletes, it stands to reason that the policies
and guidelines will include neuropsychological testing of some kind since
this has been identified by the OPHEA as being something that will help
with the identification of concussions among student-athletes. A program
that does not include neuropsychological testing is not going to be as
successful as one that does include this form of cognitive assessment.
ImPACT BASELINE AND
We have done our
research and have determined that by far the most reliable form of such a
test is a computer based test done by ImPACT.
ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and
Cognitive Testing) was created in the early 1990's and has become the
most-widely used and most scientifically validated computerized concussion
evaluation system.
At the present time it is being used for concussion
management services at more than 7000 high schools, colleges, amateur
sports teams and professional clubs around the world and has become a
standard tool used in comprehensive clinical management of concussions for
athletes from as young as ten (10) to adulthood.
It is also available in 17 different languages. It
is also being used by professional teams in the National Hockey League,
the National Football League, The National Basketball League, the Major
Baseball Leagues, among others. This is also the test that was being used
by Sidney Crosby, who has become the "poster boy" for sport-related
ImPACT is a computer-based battery of tests developed specifically for
assessing sport-related concussion. The
computer program measures multiple aspects of cognitive functioning,
including attention span, working
memory, sustained and selective attention time, response variability, and
several facets of verbal/visual memory. This will register a
"baseline" record of abilities of student-athlete with which to test
against should they suffer a possible brain injury during the season.
It is important to note that this test was developed
to provide useful information to assist qualified practitioners in making
return to play decisions for people who have suffered from concussions. It
was never intended to be used as the sole criteria for making these
decisions, but was always understood to be a tool that could help ensure
that the best decision possible was going to be made.
In fact, CMP recommends that there is no one single
source that should ever be relied upon to make the decision about the
identification or the recovery of a student-athlete when it comes to
concussions. This is even true of a medical practitioner who is examining
an injured student-athlete.
The decision to return to play should not be based
solely on the results of an examination by a medical practitioner. Rather,
one must take into consideration the recommendations of the doctor, the
results of the ImPACT test, the observations of the parents/guardians,
classroom teachers, coaches and the self-declarations of the
student-athlete him/herself.
Only when you factor into consideration all of the
partners will you be confident that the decision you make is the right
FEATURES OF ImPACT TESTING
ImPACT provides an evidence-based
measurement of player symptoms;
It measures verbal and visual memory,
processing speed and reaction time;
ImPACT measures reaction time to 1/100th
of a second;
It produces a comprehensive report of
test results that can only be accessed by the CMP Consulting
Neuropsychologist or one of his trained assistants;
The results are presented in a PDF file
which can be emailed if necessary to a treating physician who is treating
the student-athlete;
ImPACT automatically stores data from
repeat testing so that all results are kept in the same safe and secure
storage area;
The test is administered online
individually so that it can be done virtually anywhere;
It is compatible with both PC and MAC
computer systems;
ImPACT testing procedures are
non-invasive and pose no risks to the student-athlete.
The test is now available in over 15
different languages, with the results being produced in English in order
for our consulting neuropsychologists to be able to do a proper
Neurocognitive testing has come under a great deal
of scrutiny in recent years by researchers who are attempting to discover
more information about concussions and brain function in general. Because
ImPACT is a comparison of post-injury test results with a baseline, or
pre-injury test result, there is bound to be some variability in the
results. This is why it is so important for us to ensure that all
assessments of tests submitted through the Student-Athlete Concussion
Management Program are done under the supervision of a consulting
Even the baseline test is examined to see that it
falls within the normal range for a person the age and sex of the
student-athlete. If it is outside of this normal expectation, then we find
out why and if necessary have the test done over again. When the results
return to or near baseline levels, we have Dr. Michael Czarnota or another
licensed neuropsychologist examine the results to see if the
student-athlete has returned to acceptable levels.
The ImPACT test even consists of a near infinite
number of alternate versions which randomly vary the stimulus array for
each administration of a test. This is a special feature that was built
into ImPACT in order to minimize the possibility of student-athletes
producing a result that is affected by what is known as the "practice
effect". This is why ImPACT is more reliable than some other
neuropsychological tests that are available on the market.
Even under the intense scrutiny of experts around
the world, ImPACT is still considered among the best neuropsychological
assessment tools available, which explains why it is used so widely.
WHAT DOES ImPACT MEASURE?
ImPACT only takes about 20 to 25
minutes to complete. It can be administered by one of the School
Leaders or School Head Coaches. It tracks information such as memory,
reaction time, speed, and concentration. However, we want to make it
perfectly clear that ImPACT is not an IQ test.
computer program measures multiple aspects of cognitive functioning,
When a player records a score on ImPACT that is lower than his baseline
score, it signals that recovery is incomplete. When recovery is incomplete
one of more of the following three deficiencies are common:
a player's reaction time is longer;
his ability to concentrate is diminished, and;
more time is required for thought processing.
These three deficiencies alone would render a player at risk if he
returns to play in this state.
of the main reasons we recommend a pre-injury baseline test for
student-athletes is due to the fact that there is significant variability
in neurocognitive functioning among athletes at the best of times.
Therefore without baseline assessments which are administered before the
athlete is injured, it is difficult to determine if a low score on a
post-injury test is the result of the trauma or just reflective of his/her
normal capabilities.
cannot emphasize enough how important it is for a student-athlete to put
forth his/her best effort when completing the baseline ImPACT test. The
School Leaders or School Coaches who administer the tests will be
well-trained in how to make sure that the conditions are just right for
taking the test.
First-Level Test Evaluators working for CMP, under the supervision of Dr.
Michael Czarnota, are responsible for ensuring that all Baseline tests
submitted are valid. If any Baseline tests are flagged as being
significantly different from standard norms, those tests will be reviewed
and if necessary, the student-athlete will be asked to retake the test.
we have the administrator checking to make sure that the baseline test was
in fact uploaded into the system, and then we have a qualified first-level
test evaluator checking to see that the baseline test falls within a
normal standard of expectation for similar student-athletes. We are doing
everything possible to ensure that we have a valid baseline score just in
case we need to do a post-injury comparison.
recommend that any school board, post-secondary institution or minor sport
association using neuropsychological testing ensure the same level of care
from your test evaluators.
tests that are submitted will first of all be evaluated by Qualified
First-Level Test Evaluators. If the results of the test indicate that
there are still obvious concussion-like symptoms or that the
neurocognitive portion of the test is significantly deviated from the
baseline, then the School Leader will be informed of the results and
advised that the student-athlete is not yet ready to resume physical
activities or training according to our results.
If the results of the post-injury test are determined by the Qualified
First-Level Test Evaluator to be close to or approaching the baseline
level, then the results will be reviewed by Dr. Michael Czarnota or
another Licensed Associate Neuropsychologist. When it comes to the moment
when we may be confirming that the results are back to baseline levels,
then we want to make sure that this determination is made by a
neuropsychologist and not a first-level test evaluator.
the test results are back to baseline levels, then Dr. Czarnota will send
a letter to the School Leader indicating that the baseline has been
achieved and the student-athlete is permitted to begin the physical
training segment of the rehabilitation program.
The ImPACT test is divided
up into several different components. You can easily visit the main
corporate web site at www.impacttest.com
to view the sections. We will try to give you a brief overview in the
paragraphs that follow.
test can be administered by a School Leader or School Coach who has
successfully completed the training requirements of the Student-Athlete
Concussion Management Program.
tests should be administered by either a School Leader or a School Coach
who is not associated with the student-athlete's current team. This policy
is recommended in order to avoid the perception of any possible conflict
of interest on the part of the coach who may be suspected of trying to
help the student-athlete pass the test in order to return to play.
first section of the test asks the student-athlete to answer questions
regarding height, weight, sport, position, concussion history, history of
learning disabilities and other important descriptive information.
information is extremely important and may be reviewed carefully when
determining the validity of the test results. For example, it is important
to know if the student-athlete has any learning disabilities that may
affect the outcome of any part of the test.
We cannot emphasize
enough the importance of "baseline assessment" as an integral
component of an effective student-athlete concussion management program. A
concussion changes the way the brain functions. In order to be able to
identify and then provide proper rehabilitation, you must know how much
change has occurred in order to know what kinds of accommodations and
rehabilitation strategies should be employed. Without a baseline, you
don't know when you have returned to "normal conditions".
Finally, we want to point
out once again that it is not just enough to rely upon the "structural
baseline assessment" of a medical doctor. Nor is it enough to rely upon
the computerized baseline assessment of a program like ImPACT. You also
need to have a baseline assessment done by the parent/guardian, the
classroom teacher and the coach in order to be confident that you have
provided your student-athletes with the highest standard of care possible.
ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive
Testing) was created in the early 1990's and has become the
most-widely used, and most scientifically validated
computerized concussion evaluation system. It is used by
schools, amateur sports teams and professional clubs around
the world.
For some background information on the test CLICK
If you are a School Leader or School Coach, we
would strongly recommend that you read the Clinical
Interpretation Manual so that you have a better
understanding of what it is that is being measured through the
ImPACT Test. You do not need to understand all of the
technical terms, but it will give you a better perspective on
how comprehensive the test can be when administered properly
and when interpreted by Dr. Michael Czarnota or one of his
Associate Licensed Neuropsychologists. CLICK
would also advise that anyone who is interested in finding out more
about the ImPACT test should spend some time on the main

There you will find answers to most of your questions as well
as some relevant background information on the test itself.
has tried to provide you with all of the information that we
feel you need to know in order to understand the general
purpose and administration of the test. We want to emphasize
that the ImPACT test is a very useful tool in our
Student-Athlete Concussion Management Program, but that is all
it is. It is one useful tool that will assist in the
identification and rehabilitation of a student-athlete who has
suffered brain trauma resulting in concussion. It is not to be
used as a "stand-alone" resource, but must be
combined with the input of all of the "partners" of
the CMP Concussion Management Program.

When I posted about my homemade almond extract project on Monday, I suppose I was putting the pit in front of the cherry, so to speak.
I'm sure you're wondering what in the world I did with all those cherries I had to have eaten to get to all those pits?
Ate them by the bowl-fulls, mostly.
However, when I realized that the last of my plethora of cherries were a little past their peak, I decided to do something else with them. Cooking something is a really good way to disguise the fact that it's not super fresh. Shhhhh….Don't tell Wheat that.
First, I had to pit them all. After reading the many suggestions on Chowhound for how to pit cherries quickly, and trying a few different methods (seriously didn't get the bobby pin trick?!), I came up with a pretty dern efficient way to get 'er done.
I scrounged around in my college kitchen remnants and found a funnel flask. I tried an icing piping star tip and tried to pit cherries a la Martha Stewart, but I just ended up bending the tip. The funnel worked MUCH better. It's sturdy, stable, and fit perfectly.
Just place a cherry (stem removed) stem side down on top of the funnel and push it down!
The pit almost always stayed in the tip of the funnel, and the cherries (mostly) remained intact. Beware though – this is a MESSY process. I highly recommend an apron.
Anyway, I was left with a bowl full of pitted cherries!
And their pits! Into the freezer went the pits for future almond extract.
Now what to do? I wanted something easy. I decided to go with cherry hand pies!
Semi-Homemade because I didn't have the time nor the energy to make the pie crusts.
After a decent amount of Googling, I came up with a super simple recipe for cherry pie filling based on probably 8 I found and liked online.
Simple Cherry Pie Filling
– approximately 2 cups of pitted fresh cherries
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1 teaspoon (a little overflowing) vanilla extract
– 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt (I eyeballed half of a 1/4 teaspoon – aka just a pinch!)
– 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch (aka 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons)
– 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water (again, 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons)
Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water and set aside. Add the cherries, sugar, vanilla, and salt to a medium saucepan and cook on medium heat for about five minutes, or until the cherries really start to release their juices. Re-whisk the cornstarch/water mixture and add it to the cherries. Stir together and bring to a rapid boil, stirring often. Remove from heat (just after bringing to a boil). Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Cherry mixture boiling (above) and the finished pie filling (below) for reference and pretty pictures.
To make the hand pies (aka tiny, hand-held size pies), I used Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts. Just call this post Semi-Homemade with Nata-lie. #foodnetworkjokes
The first round I tried using an old biscuit cutter to cut out circles, which I filled with about 1 tablespoon of filling, then placed another one on top and crimped the edges with fork tines. I do not recommend this method. It is messier and has more chances of leaking, and I didn't think they were as cute as the second method.
Second go-round I tried using a much larger scalloped cookie cutter and then folding that in half. Winner winner!
For whatever method of hand pie formation you use, to create an egg wash, I mixed two egg whites (or if you save egg whites in the fridge like I do, two tablespoons of egg white) with one tablespoon of cold water. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg white wash over all the hand pies. I then sprinkled some sugar on them for a little sweetness and sparkles. Oh, and don't forget to use a sharp paring knife to cut slits in the top. Otherwise, your cherry hand pies will most definitely explode.
Bake on parchment paper or a Silpat (I only had one Silpat, so one baking sheet has parchment paper and one has a Silpat).
Side note: Silpats are awesome. I want 20 of them, and if you bake or cook a lot, so should you. They are French silicone non-stick, non-slide, awesome baking sheet liners that are also perfect for rolling out doughs.
I baked these at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. They could have stayed in a minute more, but they turned out REALLY tasty!
And what doesn't taste better in miniature form?
I went a little crazy with the pictures.
This was on Sunday, and Wheat came home from playing golf to a house smelling like cherry pie, and I won the wifey of the year award.
I barely. did. anything. Again, do not tell Wheat this.
Make these. Go forth and impress people, y'all.
Harold, however, was unimpressed, as he did not get to taste-test any cherry hand pies.
Sorry, Hal.

Hi my angels hope you all have had a fabulous weekend!
So before I get the question 'how did you get colour pop to the UK?' I bought these through a friend, but I have some details on how you can get items from U.S to UK with less custom charge. She uses a website called comgateway - you receive a U.S address which then you are able to order from any U.S website, it gets delivered to your U.S address and you'll get an email when its been delivered there and how much you'll be charged for customs & delivery to the UK. Please google for more info as this is all that I am currently aware of.
Onto my mini collection of these liquid lipsticks...
After seeing the hype over these liquid lipsticks I caved in and purchased a handful of these babies. I absolutely love these to the moon and back, they are the most mattest liquid lipsticks I've used no doubt about it - but some people might not like that feeling, I for one just love a nice matte lip that lasts a long time. I've tried and tested these for a few months now, so here's my honest opinion.
|note: shade without a sticker is called 'Sollow'
As I mentioned above these are quite drying liquid lipsticks and if you're looking for something that's matte but moisturising this probably won't be the product for you as it dries after about 10-15 seconds and is instantly matte, some can also feel powdery on the lips. Although you can easily fix this by adding some lip balm underneath but that only lasts for a certain amount of time of course. On myself, these liquid lipsticks last around 3-4 hours on others it may vary, but it's still pretty amazing despite me eating and drinking throughout that time it stays pretty intact. Removing this product is a pain as it's so matte you need a good few swipes over there lips to really take off the product. I'd recommend using a oil based cleanser as it removes hard nut products like this faster and with less pain involved lol - I've added some swatches below!
'Sollow' is pretty much a bright pink something I don't usually wear, but if mixed with other shades such as 'Beeper' I'm sure I'll be able to tone it down to something I am more comfortable with.
'Beeper' is a perfect Kylie Jenner colour but has a slight grey undertone.
'Stingraye' is very purple-ly on my lips, this shade is by a famous blogger/youtuber 'It's my rayeraye' she has also got a lippie six & a lipliner too! This formula is much more watery in consistency compared to the rest - not entirely sure why but it's still a pretty/daring shade.
'Tulle' is my absolute favourite from my collection, maroon with a slight brown tinge to it. Definitely is my current go to shade.
Last but not least 'Limbo', it's supposed to be a dupe to the Kylie Jenner 'True Brown K' liquid lipstick, but I'll only know once I get my hands on that! Well, once she decides to re-stock.
The Pro's:
- long lasting, 3/4 hours max
- huge growing colour range to choose from
- one layer deliveries high coverage
- smudge proof
- no transferring
- price - $6
The Con's:
- quite drying on the lips
- drying to fast can be annoying - ruining make up around the mouth
- writing on the bottle can wear off, some pretty faster than others for some weird reason
- currently only available in the U.S

Cards hope to get answer from Rhodes today
Word is that the Cardinals are one of about six teams that are making a play for former Texas bullpenner Arthur Rhodes.
As I mentioned late last week, Rhodes had pretty uninspiring numbers with the Rangers. But much of that was because he played in one of the best hitters parks in baseball. His road numbers aren't bad. Plus Rhodes has a history of success in the National League Central during his recent history with the Reds.
While a lefty like Rhodes couldn't hurt the Birds' bullpen, we're getting to the point at five games back where making a move aimed at the playoffs might be a bit of a stretch. But the Cardinals aren't dead yet.
Thy ought to offer Rhodes a contract for the rest of this season and for next year to get some of their housekeeping for 2012 done. Rhodes is 41. But he passes the major league litmus test: 1) He's a lefty and 2) He's still breathing.
The Cardinals are going to need a second lefty in 2012. And they're going to be at a premium on the open market. Getting Rhodes in hand now might save the club from being forced to spend more money on several lesser candidates in hopes that one of them will emerge to be able to do the job.
That sort of penny wise, pound foolish thinking is a major contributor to the Cardinals current sorry state with a lousy defense and a crummy bullpen for most of the season that cost the club more games than the number by which it currently trails.
