WESTBOROUGH, MA August 18, 2015 Early season baseline testing is recommended for athletes who are 10 years or older. Many high schools in New England offer baseline testing and have contingencies in place for post injury testing. The MIAA now requires concussion education for all who are involved in MIAA sanctioned athletics – including parents and students. There is no better feeling than to have a quantifiable measure of an athlete's baseline cognitive functioning. The test is valid for 2-3 seasons. Concussion results in several changes in thinking and behavior that may not be readily noticeable. An athlete who is symptomatic is much more likely to be re-injured if he or she returns to the field of play prematurely. Careful planning is necessary to help the injured athlete back to school and then back to play. Baseline testing is available using the link below.
There is a fee for taking the baseline test that is covered by many school athletic fees and/or by booster clubs. Contact Dr. Sefton for access to the baseline testing and to set-up a program at your school soon. Check out the ImPACT site for comprehensive look at the baseline test.
The baseline test is available for those who are not receiving the program at school. Contact Dr. Sefton for an access code by calling 508-579-0417. Take the on line baseline test.

The IMomSoHard moms are baaaaack! And, as always, they are hilariously saying what moms everywhere are thinking.
As we all pack our kids off to summer camp (or, maybe, fantasize about our kids being old enough to pack off to summer camp), the IMomSoHard moms are reminding us who really needs a break: We do!
So what does mom summer camp look like? No set start-time, no non-emergency texts from your kids, and a LOT of mimosas (plus a cute guy who follows you around giving you compliments).
As they put it: "A mom can dream…without a child's foot in her face."

AtoZ Wedding Guide : A-Z Wedding Guide 2011
There are many different ways for the bridal party to enter the church or venue for the ceremony, depending on religion, culture and the formality of the wedding. After the parents and grandparents of the bride and groom are seated, there are two main ways for the bridal party to enter. The groom, best man and celebrant or priest will not walk down the aisle, but enter through a side door and wait at the alter. Then the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk up the aisle in pairs. They can be paired by the distance they will be standing to the bride and groom (those standing the furthest away walk down first) or paired by matching heights. The second way is for the groom, best man, priest or celebrant and groomsmen to wait at the alter and the bridesmaids walk up one by one, again starting with the bridesmaid that will be furthest from the bride. Once the bridal party is assembled, the bride will enter. If the bride is being given away by her father, he will lead her to the front of the aisle, shake the grooms hand, kiss his daughter then takes his seat next to the bride's mother.

#cpmduel brings you another dose of promode action in the form of 3rd challenge promode hoonymode cup held on 13rd of November at 16:30 CEST. If you are interested, you can SIGNUP! GL&HF !
|Main Information
|Ranking: Table
|What is Hoony Mode?
|Description (c) cpma docs:
| Hoonymode is a novel form of 1v1 play, loosely based on tennis rules.All in-game behaviour (weapons, physics, items, etc) remains the sameas standard DM: the change is in how the game progresses from one fragto the next.
During warmup, two spawnpoints are chosen by the players. One willtypically be a "stronger" spawn and the other "weaker". When the gamebegins, these are where the players will spawn, with the strong spawnconsidered the equivalent of having the "serve".
Each player death (regardless of source, i.e. a suicide is considereda kill for the opponent) is treated as a distinct point. After a pointis scored, play does not continue as in DM: instead, the players andthe arena are reset, and a new point is contested for. Players switchspawnpoints at this time, so the player who had the weak spawn for theprevious point now has the strong one, effecting a change of serve.Players are given a few seconds between points to reconsider strategiesetc.
Games are played to a point limit, with the clock not being a factor.A player must reach that limit and be at least two points clear ofhis opponent to win, i.e. in a 5-point game, 5-4 is a lead not a win:the player still needs another point to clinch it.
| Implementation Specifics:
Players claim a spawnpoint by moving near it and using the spawncommand (via console/bind/etc).
Referees can choose spawnpoints for players by using "spawn <pid>"(Players can also use this when playing bots).
Players are not FORCED to choose a spawnpoint: spawns will be random (not recommended).

Today I am writing for one simple reason: to let my frustration out by word, rather than letting it out on myself and having another anxiety attack. Because oh God how I hate myself. Some times I can't believe how astonishingly pathetic I am. And what's my reason for almost falling apart today? Something as simple as band rehearsal.
One of my favorite hobbies is also one of the things I do that put me the most out of my comfort zone, but it's usually OK because I'm not alone in my instrument group and can get the support I need to get through every rehearsal, learn the part, and play the concert well. But that wasn't the case today. I play the french horn (waldhorn), and I have for many years – I'd even say I'm a decent player. I've played for years, in high divisions in NM (Norwegian championship), went to Toneheim where I had waldhorn as my main instrument, auditioned for a part in His Majesty the King of Norways Guard's Band against 11 other people and was one of four to get in, and now I play in both a band and an orchestra here in Lillehammer, yet I still can't trust myself when I play. It's so frustrating!
We're usually two horn players in the band – she's first and I'm second, third and fourth seat (whatever is needed). I'm not half as good as her – I know that – but at least when I play with her I know I can count on her to be the one in charge and guide me. When she's not there – let's just say the horns doesn't really make any difference in the bands sound. She wasn't at rehearsal today since she's sick – and I can with ease say I wish I was the sick one.
I wish I hadn't gone to rehearsal at all.
I've played with these guys for three years now, and I love playing with them, but for some reason I can't do anything right when I'm alone in my group. My breathing was off, I couldn't move my fingers fast enough, and I couldn't follow the conductor. Since we're working on the piece we're going to play at NM we're working on a lot of details and I had to play a rather simple rise – I play it with ease when I'm practicing at home … Not today – after three tries and three failed attempts, I wished the floor would open up and swallow me. And of course my bloody anxiety makes everything worse – though I am sure no one could notice. The rehearsal went on, and no one probably thought anymore about it – but that's not what I feel. For the rest of the rehearsal I had to fight back tears, try to keep myself together and try not to let anything show. I couldn't do anything right. And I know everyone else noticed I couldn't do anything right after my failed attempts.
I know the conductor doesn't really like me – he thinks I can't play, and now I'm sure everyone else thinks I can't play. I am so pathetic, and I don't want to go back there again. I've feltlike quitting a few times lately, but I love playing, and I love the social part … I wish I could just let my anxious mind go – feel secure about myself and play like I know I can. What makes it even worse is that yesterday I had my first rehearsal with a wind ensemble and I felt so good about myself afterwards! I played music I saw for the first time there, I think I played it pretty well, and it was so much fun! In that ensemble we're only eight people (only five yesterday), and I still felt so much more secure about myself there! I went to rehearsal today with that feeling, thinking I'd do ok – and I didn't.
I'm honestly crushed. Tears are flowing down my face as I am writing this, but I've written my way away from an attack – I'm calmer, but so wistful … Some times I really wish I wasn't me. Some times I wish I wasn't so fond of playing – so I could just quit. Today I want to quit, but I know I can't make myself. I wish I wasn't so pathetic. I wish I had more confidence. And I wish I didn't hate myself so much. I have no idea what to do with myself.
This probably doesn't seem like a big thing to most people, but this is one of the things I'm really struggling with. People say they have faith in me, that they know I can do things – I just really wish I could have that confidence in myself too.

OPIC Board of Directors Approves New Financing Commitments
June 16, 2014
WASHINGTON – The Board of Directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation convened today for a quarterly meeting considering new projects for approval. OPIC is the U.S. Government's Development Finance Institution, and through financing, insurance and support to private equity investment funds helps the U.S. private sector confidently expand to emerging markets for positive development impact. Included in the projects OPIC approved for commitment today:
- Up to $140 million in financing to Avantel for the deployment of a wireless and fiber-optic broadband network in Colombia. This project will accelerate the introduction of high-speed wireless internet connectivity in the country, increase competition within Colombia's telecommunications sector and create hundreds of professional local jobs.
- Up to $186 million in financing for development and operation of the 148.5 megawatt Tres Mesas wind power facility in northeastern Mexico. The project is being developed by Frontera Renovables S de R.L. de C.V. which is owned by California-based Oak Creek Energy Systems.
- Up to $100 million in financing to Hawa Energy for development and operation of a 50 megawatt wind power facility in southwestern Pakistan. This renewable power project helps address critical energy shortfalls in Pakistan, where daily power outages can last hours. The Hawa plant will support a mutual U.S.-Pakistan goal to diversify Pakistan's power generation beyond reliance on high-priced fuel oil by tapping its vast wind-energy potential.
- Up to $75 million in financing to First City Monument Bank to expand access to finance in Nigeria, specifically in the infrastructure, power distribution, real estate development and healthcare sectors as well as supporting growth of small and medium businesses.
- Up to $56 million in financing to Delaware-based La Hipotecaria Panamanian Mortgage Trust for expansion of low and middle-income home mortgage lending in Panama, which suffers from a shortage of affordable housing.
Investment Funds
- Up to $80 million to International Housing Solutions Fund II, which will invest in affordable housing across Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Up to $50 million to Peninsula Investments Group Fund III, to focus on investing in middle-income housing in Colombia, Peru, Panama, Uruguay and Mexico, which collectively have a shortage of 13 million middle-income homes.
- Up to $50 million to NEO Capital Fund III, managed by NEO Investimentos, for investment in the growth of mid-sized companies in Brazil.
- Up to $100 million to Quadria Capital Fund, to invest in improving healthcare access and quality throughout South and Southeast Asia, where demand for healthcare far exceeds supply.
- Up to $66 million to CX Intermediate Private Capital Fund I to improve access to finance for small and medium-sized businesses in India.
- Up to $70 million to Alpha CEE III, a Fund of Funds focused on Central and Eastern Europe, a region which has been slow to attract private investment in recent years.
- Up to $100 million to Pembani Remgro Infrastructure Fund, which will make equity, quasi-equity and equity-related investments infrastructure projects and services to the infrastructure sector across Sub-Saharan Africa.
"These commitments epitomize OPIC's broad, impactful mission of supporting development in multiple regions and sectors, with a variety of financial tools," said Elizabeth Littlefield, OPIC's President and CEO. "The projects span five continents and support game-changing developments like large-scale renewable power, next-generation telecom infrastructure, expanded mortgage finance, improved healthcare and widespread access to finance for small and medium businesses."
OPIC is the U.S. Government's development finance institution. It mobilizes private capital to help solve critical development challenges and in doing so, advances U.S. foreign policy. Because OPIC works with the U.S. private sector, it helps U.S. businesses gain footholds in emerging markets, catalyzing revenues, jobs and growth opportunities both at home and abroad. OPIC achieves its mission by providing investors with financing, guarantees, political risk insurance, and support for private equity investment funds.
Established as an agency of the U.S. Government in 1971, OPIC operates on a self-sustaining basis at no net cost to American taxpayers. OPIC services are available for new and expanding business enterprises in more than 150 countries worldwide. To date, OPIC has supported more than $200 billion of investment in over 4,000 projects, generated an estimated $76 billion in U.S. exports and supported more than 278,000 American jobs.

"A large population today see few advantages to a rooftop replacement and they truly don't need renew their rooftop unless they completely have as well. In any case, once a home owner chooses the time has come to replace the rooftop on their home, they have some intense decisions to make if your rooftop is in a condition of decay and it has weakened after some time. There are a significant number of advantages connected with replacing your rooftop, and you will need to investigate some of them before settling on an official choice of any sort."
1. Prevent Costly Water Damage
In the event the walls and the floor are firm and restored, just what is the benefit for it if all of a sudden water begins flowing from your ceiling? Won't it destroy the walls and the floor? A good and stable roof will prevent water damages a result of leaking and moisture in the home. When required repairs continue to increase and leaks become more common in your existing roof, these complaints and the issues they cause can result in larger costs for you.
2. Raise The Value of Your Home
Besides the undeniable fact that the property will appear better with new roofs, property owners who are selling a home or other structure will invest thousands of dollars to help make the house captivating to buyers. Yet many owners are not able to put in a new roof. A new roof is one of the best makeovers in terms of boosting property value and getting back a large percentage of exactly what is used on the renovation.
3. Make Your Home Safer
There's also many safety dangers to take into consideration any time ignoring an outdated roof. A leaky roof which lets in rain will encourage the increase of mildew and mold that triggers allergies and respiratory problems. If this isn't dealt with right away, well then, your putting your household in a big risk. Let alone the risk that old roof brings into the property and most especially to the safety of your family.
4. Keep Your Home Warmer in the Winter/Cooler in the Summer
Using a well-constructed and well-insulated roof help keep your own home comfy year-round. A permeable roof lets heat and air conditioning escape indicating you have to pay more to keep the home at your desired temperature. A new roof help keep your house as warm or as cool as you like it and never have to throw away cash on excess heat or A/C. It's always a fun time to invest in better energy-efficiency for your residence.

It was one jam packed month full of activities and new milestones! It was your first Halloween experience... silly monster!
Bath time has gotten so much more interesting now that you can plop on your belly and "swim." This and attempting to pull up using the water spout (despite all of my efforts o cover and distract you) are the new favorites during the bath.
And yes, the tub is now filled full of toys. But you can always find the purple dinosaur and the yellow duck. And who wouldn't love a Ritz Carlton duck that your Mea got you? I think you managed to like the cheapest (free) and the most expensive toy in the tub!
I would say that your vocabulary included momma; however that one has left you this month and it is strictly "da da." We are working on waving hi and bye bye. You love opening and closing the door on your playhouse to practice.
You fall into giggles when we ask "How big you are" and throw our hands up to say "SO BIG!" But... laughing is about all we get out of that one! You still love to point out eyes, nose and mouth... and you recently discovered the fantastic noise your lips will make if you rub your hand over them and blow! But you absolutely favorite is giving high fives and you are super great at it!
You are now pulling up anything and everything you can grasp in those little hands.
|I caught you!
|Good Morning! How is my do?
|Who says being sick has to get you down?
I cannot believe that I am saying this, but you have discovered the walker! You proudly push it around the house as if you just gained the most independence in the world! We have had a couple of tumbles due to over confidence. You are just so eager to walk all by yourself that you sometimes forget that you cannot balance by yourself quite yet!
We started the holiday season a little early at your school's party. Ms. Marta and Ms. Amanda are such awesome teachers and you love them so much! It truly makes me happy when you light up to see them. It means they are taking great care of you.
You are such an amazing joy and words cannot express how much you are loved. This holiday season is going to be the very best yet!

Fast and Fun Fishing in South Walton
April 26, 2012 by Larry Pentel
Another blowy spring day at the beach so I'm able to sit at the desk and type up a fishing report. The weatherman had predicted winds at 5 to 10 and seas at 1 to 2 this morning. Of course this is from the same group (NOAA) that says there are no Red Snappers-- at least they predicted that it would be dark last night right....
While we have returned to a more normal weather pattern for Spring the past 2 weeks after a long run of calm we still get the great days in between the blustery ones. I have had the pleasure of taking locals and visitors out for some really fun days. Yesterday morning turned into just as pretty a time to be on the water as you would want and the couple I took had a blast, catching and releasing some great Snappers and Black Groupers and coming to the beach with a few pretty big keepers as well.
Big Fish for once a year anglers!
Having some Kings around sure makes my life a lot easier. It sure is nice to be able to get a couple big bites right of the bat just a couple miles from the truck.
A full board and big smiles.
These folks braved a an almost sure chance of getting rained on for a fantastic morning of fishing. We were able to stay just out of the rain to fill the box. It didn't come down till I had to clean fish and the boat!
Fish Fry's for months!
These guys made a 3 hr afternoon trip into a great photo opp-
A pair of 20# Kings will make anybody smile
Hard not to have fun when the fish bite !
The cobia are still sparse but the Pompano have been doing pretty good for the shorebound angler. My client yesterday morning asked me to clean one he had caught off the beach the day before, commenting that he fished all day and only had the one. I said sure, I'll just do it with your other fish-- he then pulls out a 19" Pomp well over 4# ! A tournament winner for sure and well worth being the "only fish of the day". Ya gotta be entered in the tournament to weigh 'em in though........
The trout and Redfish are doing well on the flats also. I went out with a neighbor kayak fishing in the bayou last week on a "surf" day and we had a big time. I got my 2 redfish at 21 & 24" and a Speck that was 28". Biggest Trout I have caught from Choctawhatchee Bay in years. He had a Red that was not only fat but at 27 3/4" was as big a fish as you can keep to show off !
It's Spring, the waters warming, the fish are biting, just find a spot out of the wind and go catch something!

Nrithyodaya presented the 'Swatantra Bharat 70' Festival at the Mysore Association Auditorium, Matunga, wherein seven dance groups presented dance numbers with patriotism as the subject,This festival was aimed at bringing to light the works of those great heroes who used their pen as their weapon to protect and re-establish the lost glory of our motherland and the dignity and spirit of her children. The chief guest for the function was Suprabha Agarwal (Director, Rajmata Jijau Mother Child Health and Nutrition Mission, Govt. of Maharashtra). Eminent Manipuri exponent Guru Darshana Jhaveri was also honoured.
The values of integration and interaction were further strengthened by collaboration and participation of ABHAI (Association of Bharatanatyam Artites of India) represented by 7 established gurus who opened the show to a soulful 'Vande Mataram'. Draped in different regional traditional attires, they brought together the 'soul of Bharat' on stage.
Guru Jyoti Mohan's Bharatanatyam group presented works of Mahakavi Subramanya Bharati, Veer Savarkar and Bankim Chandra Chattopadyay, the group of six children was very motivating and charming.
Representing the East was the Odissi presentation by disciples of Guru Asha Balan Nambiar. They presented two favourite numbers of the Mahatma-Vaishnava Janato and Vande Mataram. The involvement of the dancers brought out the meaning of both songs well. Students of Swaralasika, under the able guidance of Guru Hema Balasubramanian, rendered patriotic songs. Students of Guru Padmini Radhakrishnan brought to life the works of Tagore and Dwijendralal Ray through their Bharatanatyam performance with lilting music, graceful movements and suitable costumes. Guru Dr. Jayashree Rajagopalan's troupe of 8 dancers, presented Bharatanarityan in the famous works of Kavi Subrahmanya Bharati, where he dreams of a glorious India post-independence, was enacted in proper style. Besides the sparkling performance by the students of Guru Sila Mehta, the program concluded with a short skit by the NYC cadres of SIES of Arts as a mark of tribute to the martyr Major Parameshwaram.

Hampshire is highlighting its credentials as a top foodie destination by appointing a TV chef as its first food tourism ambassador.
It is believed to be the first county in England to have its own food tourism ambassador – part of a move to put Hampshire on the map as a place where visitors experience "England at its finest".
James Durrant, Chef Patron at The Plough Inn, Longparish, BBC 2's Great British Menu main course winner and fourth in the Top 50 Gastropubs in the UK, has been appointed as the voluntary inaugural food tourism ambassador by Visit Hampshire, Hampshire County Council's tourism website.
The newly created role is designed to highlight Hampshire as a top tourism destination in the UK and a producer of exceptional food and drink. James will champion the best dining experiences, talent, suppliers and growers that Hampshire has to offer in a bid to boost tourism to the county.
Hampshire has an excellent food and drink offer – from artisan producers to hospitality providers. It also has a well-regarded and long-established specialist organisation supporting producers and suppliers – Hampshire Fare.
James says: "Hampshire's a great place to escape to, especially for people living in London. It's got that slower pace of life you'd want for your down time, but also really good quality places to eat and stay. It's that combination that makes it special."
Councillor Seán Woodward, Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment, said: "It is fantastic news that tourism brings in £3billion each year to Hampshire, and local produce and original restaurants are some of the elements that make Hampshire unique for visitors and residents alike."
"It's great news that James Durrant will be Visit Hampshire's first Food Tourism Ambassador. James' extensive experience as a chef and his local knowledge of Hampshire will highlight the top food attractions, restaurants and produce grown in the county. His work with Visit Hampshire will help the tourism economy by illustrating another reason to visit the county."
James' first role as ambassador will be to take a taste of the county into the city, when he will host an exclusive dinner in London for top-tier travel, food and lifestyle journalists at Angela Hartnett's restaurant Merchants Tavern. The event is designed for journalists to experience the food of the region and whet their appetite to visit Hampshire for themselves.
James will create a regionally inspired menu and source ingredients from Hampshire's larder working with artisan suppliers. He will be joined by four other top Hampshire chefs who will each cook a course, including Luke Holder at Lime Wood in the New Forest; Andres Alemany at The Purefoy Arms in Preston Candover and Pulpo Negro in Alresford; and David Wykes at Verveine in Milford-on-Sea.
James is also part of Visit Hampshire's Great Hampshire People campaign which is designed to celebrate well-known people who love living in Hampshire. James is joined on the campaign by David 'Freddie' Carr and Matt Cornwell who are both part of the UK's bid for the Americas Cup World Series in Portsmouth in July; Marylyn Abbott, one of the world's greatest garden creators, whose garden at West Green House also hosts one of the most prestigious country house opera seasons in England; James Golding, head chef of the acclaimed kitchens at The Pig in Brockenhurst whose menu is famously grown, collected and foraged within the grounds or sourced locally from a 25 mile radius; and Jimmy Adams, captain of Hampshire Cricket Team.
For more information about James and his role as Hampshire's food tourism ambassador, please visit: www.visit-hampshire.co.uk.

Review: The Thistle Hotel, Kensington Gardens
So last weekend, we were lucky enough to be offered a hotel room in London for Cybermummy weekend. The hubby and I, after several long months apart, decided to have a quiet night on the first night, and headed to our hotel, the Thistle in Kensington Gardens, early on the Friday afternoon.
First impressions, I have to say, were slightly disappointing. The hotel is on Bayswater Road (an easy walk from Queensway Tube on the central line) and as soon as you glimpse the sign, all you see is a big petrol station. Happily, turning down the side street to the actual entrance, it just got better and better.
First off, it's had a huge refurbishment, in the process elevating this fab little gem from a 3* to a 4*. The lovely Customer Relations Manager met us at the (sparkly) lifts and told us all about it. He also told us that we'd been upgraded to a suite. RESULT!
Those sparkly lifts caused quite a lot of hilarity. Firstly, they were teeny. On the sign it said you could fit 8 people, but honestly – we got stuck in there with a couple of sweaty German people and it was not pleasant. I should imagine 8 people in there would be akin to one of those Guinness record breaking 'squeezing people into a Mini Cooper' attempts. The other problem was that we were singularly useless at putting our room key in the slot and then pressing the button. Happily, the Concierge seemed to be well used to people going down instead of up and arriving in his lobby. He swiftly sorted out our card problems and send us soaring to the 7th floor.
Our suite was amazing, with a lovely lounge area complete with trendy grey wool sofas…
…a sparkly new bathroom:
and a bed as big as a bouncy castle (happily, as later, when the husband was all 'tired and emotional' after our two bottles of wine and conked out in an ungainly starfish position – I still had tons of room across the other side).
The views over Hyde Park were stunning (they even left us a little pair of binoculars so we could check out the Albert Hall and the Gherkin):
and as it was such a lovely evening, we headed out for a gorgeous walk – you'd never even know you were in the middle of London!
Obviously wishing to test the place as thoroughly as possible for you, my loyal reader, we then decided to check out the bar:
We weren't disappointed. Our lovely waitress was not only chatty and friendly, she kept us topped up with gin and peanuts and told us a couple of nice places to try for drinks and dinner, all within easy walking distance of the hotel. Mind you, the menu looked so nice that we almost didn't bother going out at all.
A short stroll took us to bustling Bayswater and a plethora of pubs, restaurants and bars. A packed Italian restaurant caught our eye and we feasted on beautifully tender salt and pepper squid, a lush rocket, tomato and avocado salad, and then huge prawns in a spicy tomato sauce and crispy fritto misto. Then came the two bottles of wine, the stagger home and the inevitable collapse.
The absolute selling point of the Thistle, Kensington Gardens, forgetting for a moment the beautiful decor and the great location, is the staff: from the amazingly helpful Concierge who helped me find a route home dodging around central line closures on the Sunday morning, not forgetting the polite and friendly breakfast staff who rushed to make me an omelette then checked twice to make sure I was enjoying it, to the lovely receptionists and the housekeeping staff who brought chocolates and wished us sweet dreams.
What a fabulous, fabulous place. We'll definitely be back!

Amnesia, derived from a Greek word that means "without memory", is a state of memory deficiency caused by various reasons including psychological trauma, disease and brain damage. Temporary amnesia can also be an effect of using hypnotic drugs and sedatives. Depending on the severity of the damage, memory lost can either be partial or whole.
The most common types of amnesia are retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is the inability to remember information or things that happened before a certain event, this event is usually the moment of accident or operation that caused the memory loss. The degree of retrograde amnesia varies. Some patients can forget things and information gathered several months before the accident or operation, other cases involve patients who can't remember things that happened several years before.
On the other hand, anterograde amnesia is the inability to save short-term memory into long-term memory. This means that the patient is unable to remember even the simplest things for a long period. It is like memory is deleted in certain time intervals. Both types of amnesia can happen to a patient at the same time. Studies reveal that amnesia usually occurs when the medial temporal lobe of the brain is damaged. Furthermore, various studies also state that lack of protein called RbAp48 can also lead to amnesia.
Amnesia can affect people of all ages. Below are some of the most common symptoms of Amnesia
- Unable to learn new things and information. This can also be demonstrated by a sudden inability to remember new information. In short, a person can't remember new things.
- Unable to remember past information such as events, people or things. In short, a person forgets things that happened in the past.
- Inventing false memories (didn't actually happen) to replace things and information that are factual or actually happened.
- Tremors
- Uncoordinated movements
- Regularly becomes confused and disoriented specially when trying to remember past events
- Partial and total memory loss
- Failure to recognize people like family members and friends
- Failure to remember directions of places regularly visited
Home Remedies for Amnesia
Over the counter medicines can sometimes give side effects that may worsen various symptoms of Amnesia. Fortunately, there are several natural home remedies that are proven to be effective against amnesia.
1. Cumin Seeds
Cumin seeds are effective in curing memory loss specially when taken daily. Mix ½ teaspoon of cumin seeds with 2 teaspoon of honey and add some water. Mixed thoroughly and drink every morning during breakfast. You can also ground the seeds into powdered form and consume 1 teaspoon every morning.
2. Almonds
During the early ages, almond was already a popular remedy for slow memory. Studies show that almonds have powerful substances that strengthen the brain and replace damaged brain cells. Almonds are also rich in vitamins E, zinc, magnesium and fiber, all of which are helpful in restoring good memory. Soak ten to fifteen almonds in clean water and leave overnight. In the morning, remove the water and peel the skin. Consume directly or ground the almonds into a paste and mix with milk and honey before drinking. Do this every morning or before bedtime.
3. Apples
Apples contain loads of vitamin B12, phosphorus and potassium, which are essential in repairing weakened nerve and brain cells that can cause amnesia. For optimum memory gain, eat an apple daily during breakfast.
4. Meditation and Exercise
There are cases in which short term memory loss is caused by stress. Meditation is a natural way for the mind and body to get rid of stress and prevent symptoms of amnesia. In order to relax the mind, meditating several minutes a day is a must. Aside from meditation, yoga sessions are also highly recommended as a natural way to combat amnesia. Daily brisk walking or light jogging also help the brain to function properly.
5. Brain Exercise
Aside from body exercises, brain activities are also effective in keeping the brain sharp and focused. One simple home remedy to maintain proper brain function is to place different objects around the house and then locate them as quickly as possible. Doing this will keep the brain sharp and exercise memory functions.
6. Basil Leaves
Known to treat numerous sicknesses, Basil leaves are also potent against amnesia due the number of natural substances these leaves contain which improve brain stimulation and nervous system function. Put 10 leaves in a pot of water and boil for about 10 minutes. The heat will extract the healthy substances from the leaves. Let the concoction cool down and prepare as a tea drink. Honey and milk can be added to improve taste. Drink twice a day, morning and night, to maximize the effects as an anti-amnesia drink.
7. Sage
A person suffering from amnesia will not only have a hard time remembering things, he will also find it difficult to focus and concentrate on daily tasks. Sage is very effective in improving memory as well as restoring the ability to focus on things. In addition, sage can restore damaged cells and relax the brain. Pick fresh sage and let it dry for a few hours. Put 2 to 3 leaves in a small cup and pour boiling water. Let the mixture cool down while the vitamins and minerals of the leaves are extracted. Drink this herbal 2 to 3 times daily for optimum brain power.
8. Rosemary
Known in the ancient times as "herb for remembrance", rosemary contains powerful substances that fight mental fatigue and all sorts of stress. It is also regarded for its ability to instantly relax the mind and improve memory. Prepare a rosemary tea by mixing 2 to 3 pieces with hot water. Let it steep for a few minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and a few drops of lemon. Drink twice a day.
9. Sleep Therapy
People who do not get enough sleep or are under a lot of stress are usual victims of amnesia. Improper sleeping habits and too much worrying can weaken the nervous system, which eventually develop into amnesia. Doctors recommend 6 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep for a person to refresh and allow its body to recover specially after a full day of work and stress. A fresh body and mind decrease the possibility of developing amnesia. For people who don't fall asleep easily, a body massage to relax the mind and destress the body is also recommended.
10. Walnuts
Walnuts are packed with high amounts of phosphorus, a substance that helps treat memory loss by strengthening brain cells and tissues. For amnesia patients, a daily dose of 25 grams of walnuts is suggested to improve mental health.
11. Proper Diet
Proper diet is extremely crucial in maintaining healthy body and mind. Eating unhealthy foods such as junk and chemical-rich foods will lead to various types of health issues such as amnesia. A well-balanced diet consisting of meat, dairy, fruits and vegetable is the best way to prevent amnesia. Highly recommended foods including green leafy vegetables, milk, nuts and whole grains must be regularly consumed. On the other hand, eating refined and preserved foods, drinking alcohol and taking illegal drugs and substances increases the risk of amnesia, so avoid them.

As a child of Apollo, Alex has been blessed with the ability to boost the tissue and blood regeneration of another being via blood transfusion, as well as to heal damaged cells in general. The greater another's wound, the more it takes out of her to fix. Your typical stab wound would leave her feeling dizzy and nauseous, ready to collapse. Her ability is still activated when she is passed out, so it would fairly easy be to take advantage of her in her weakened state, either to continue the healing procedure or other.
To use her power requires life force, so with each use her natural life is draining. Alex is unaware of when exactly she'll die, or at what rate her life is sucked out of her in ratio to how much she heals others. It's something she tries not to think about. To initiate the power, her blood must be transferred from her body immediately into another's, and blood in vials or in pools on the ground are completely lacking in any healing properties. The larger her own wound, the faster it flows into another, speeding up the process. However, it can still be slow depending on the size of the wound her blood is moving into. Ability has been purchased at the drachma store.
Hometown: Detroit, Michigan
Mortal Parent(s): Amy Avizius, Trevor Grantold
Physical Description: Alex's got a very young, rounded face that keeps her looking quite youthful, especially sprayed with a layer of light brown freckles, and accompanied by a rounded baby nose and very un-pronounced cheek bones. She's got thick red lips and playfully arched eyebrows, colored brown like her original hair was. Now her preferred style is a multi-colored undercut with bangs swinging to the left, generally dyed a new color every few weeks--though she has a preference to seafoam green and coral blue for the shaved rectangle. She's got somewhat pointed ears, flattened against the side of her head with piercings running up the sides with cuffs, and usually wears a tiny diamond nose stud. She looks like she might stir up some trouble--your standard menacing teenager, wearing oversized rock band and vintage comic hero t-shirts, with jean shorts and sometimes a hoody over top. Looks aren't important to her, and she'll wear whatever makes her happy. That being said, make-up is a foreign concept to Alex, and her forehead does have a few red blotches blended into her pale skin, with a zit or two on the bridge of her nose. But it's all part of puberty and growing up, right? They'll disappear on their own.. probably.
Alex's very petite, standing at 5'2 and hardly making it to the 90lb mark, with bony elbows and knees and fingers under light skin that looks as if it hasn't seen the sun in ages. The height is slightly unproportionate, extra length being added to her legs than torso. Unlike her face, her arms, and legs are devoid of freckles, though she has a mole on her hip and there is a sprinkle of little brown stains across her shoulders. She lacks the glamorized lady curves, not that she minds, and the most visually stunning attribute she has would be her big, round grey eyes. The second thing to be noticed, although not exactly out of physical attraction, would be her mild overbite, and slightly crooked, moderately white smile, accompanied by a single dimple. Who needs braces?
Personality: Compassion and kindness are, without a doubt, some of her strongest traits. And when your power is the ability to take others wounds and give them to yourself, well, you really put a new meaning to empathy and understanding others. She's patient yet strict, and prefers to be the leader, taking on a mother-like role in the lives of her friends whether they welcome it or not. She's got a strong sense of nurturing, and is without a doubt a people pleaser--though she's picky on who she chooses to please, and those who don't deserve her attention, she won't waste her time with. She's a strong headed, independent girl who will openly advocate and fight for what she believes in, and will strike back if provoked. Don't underestimate her kind exterior--she's fiesty, and won't hesitate to give you her opinion.
Because she's so stubborn, any attempt at reasoning with her morals will be in vain, even if it takes her to her grave. Live and learn, right? She's not much one to listen to others, unless she's put into a position of such fear that her body shuts down--which has been known to happen every know and again, if someone can slither their way into her psyche and mess her up from the inside. She's a tough cookie, but represses a lot of emotion that she's felt and accumulated throughout the years. Sometimes, it escapes, leaving her on her knees in sobs. It doesn't help that she's got intense separation anxiety, which seems like it doesn't fit in to her need for independence. She needs to be the leader, most, if not all of the time, but she needs people to lead. If they aren't around, she becomes very, very alone and distraught about it, and it can occasionally trigger panic attacks if she feels they aren't around because they're in danger. At most, she can spend a week away from a close friend, whether in an unfamiliar habitat, or one very known--though being in a new place by herself amps up the anxiety, no doubt. And understanding physical and mental stress through a variety of situations and having so many experiences, she's very keen on looking out and taking care of those who feel it too. But sometimes Alex has a hard time distinguishing what's protective and what's just awkwardly clingy.

Role-play Example: Alex ran her hands over the smooth, damp green moss and gave a soft smile, pressing her fingers softly into the texture, pinching it and twisting it around some to make a small spiral tower, that stood for a second or two before giving way to the weight and leaning to one side. She swing her feet and twisted some, to take another look at the trees around her in search of someone. A friend of hers, someone relatively new who had taken her anxiety and clinging surprisingly well thus far had promised to meet her at this very spot at dusk. The sky was now a fiery pastel mix of red and pink and orange, with some purple in the distance that steadily consumed the sky, yet her person was still missing. It made her feel uncomfortable being so far from camp alone. Who all knew what could be lurking just out of vision? A poisoning snake sliding through the underbrush, or a harpy with its talons knifed into a tree, wings clamped to its side as it watched in stiff silence the fragile, lonely girl below, who could very well make a satisfying demigod meal.
Demigod.. the word still sounded so foreign to her. She was supposedly the daughter of the sun god, Apollo. Hah, maybe that's what the fear originated from. Although he was also god of oracles and the plague, and last time Alex checked, she hadn't wiped out anyone with terrible sickness, nor had she predicted anyone's future. The God of healing at least had some accuracy, though, and the only strand of faith that she held, the possibility that maybe her strange gift had something to do with a God of healing, after all. She was no doctor, that was for certain, but she'd always had this sort of connection with those in pain, and has, on numerous occasions, mysteriously transferred their wounds to herself. Whether it was by accident, she's still not sure. But it happened, and no science could really explain it. Only... Only this strange possibility that she shared a power or two with a God could even begin to cover some of the strange events she'd witnessed or been a part of. After all, only the child of a Greek god would be able to see multiple flying horses soaring through the sky, entangling, kicking and biting each other, right? And crashing into a plane?
Alex had been to many, many psychiatrists after that episode. But, somehow she could feel it. She knew it was real, and that it happened. And now here she was, in a camp full of people who claim to be just like her, to see the weird things she sees, learning about an entire new world that, up until just a few months ago, seemed like a distant nightmare.
With a quick look at her watch, Alex let out a soft groan, before jumping to her feet. She wiped her shorts off and took a nervous look around, the length of her vision being abruptly shortened by lack of light filtering through the trees. Apparently, she'd gone into la la land long enough that it was almost now completely dark, the pink and orange views having something vanished without her noticing. Her heart picked up immediately and punched at her chest, telling her to get out ASAP. And she wasn't one to deny her feelings.
A swift wipe of her dirtied hands on her pantlegs, and Alex was off, dashing through the forest like a mad women, letting out little whimpers as she raced the darkness home. In her fright, she missed several twigs blur by and claw at her arms and legs, but the stinging was dull--she'd felt much worse pain in the past, pain that left her unable to think, breathe or move. This? It was nothing.
Bounding over several rocks, and ducking under the thick white arms of the birch trees, she was able to make it back in a quarter of the time it had taken her to walk out. She scampered across the empty fields and into the circle of cabins, collapsing at the doorstep of number 7 in a huffing mess. She'd scream at her ditching friend another day, when the sun was still up and she wasn't scared out of her wits. For now, curling up in bed with a nice novel and a cup of tea sounded like a splendid idea, and so that's exactly what she did.

(WVUE) - After a September to be dismembered the Saints turned the page of the calendar to a new month and a fresh - if belated - start to the season yesterday.
October is the fallen leaf and the risen Saints. They have never had a losing month of October under Sean Payton. And thanks to the fourth quarter largesse of the Chargers yesterday, there's a reason to think the pleasin' season has arrived right on schedule with the first "cold" front.
Have the Saints once again finally turned on when your air conditioner has finally turned off?
It's just a single game that was given to the Saints yesterday, so logic would argue that more of September's problems await. But as the hurricane season dies, it seems much of our passion for life is re-born in South Louisiana.
Can it only be coincidence that Tulane, LSU and the Saints all were victorious for the first time this season on October's first weekend? Everything just feels different in October - a lot different and a lot better.
It's still a Monday, but it's a Monday in October. The start of another glorious week of weather kicked off after a victory instead of ticked off after another defeat.
Thanks to the NFL schedule-maker, Saints fans get to enjoy the first win of the season through the first two Sundays of October, courtesy of this week's bye.
Time to enjoy both.
It's fall...and football...y'all.

Shaun Vetrovec's game ended on Friday, and he joined the rest of his Newport Harbor High teammates on the bus. They waited for their coach, Evan Chalmers, to wrap up interviews.
Unlike most of the Sailors, Vetrovec had a long weekend ahead of him, filled with more baseball.
Vetrovec planned to head out to Tempe, Ariz., with his father Bob later that night to catch a couple of spring training games. For the past seven years, Vetrovec and his dad have made the road trip to watch the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim before the season starts.
There is a game on Saturday and Sunday the father and son will attend. In a couple of years, Bob might have to make the drive by himself. When he does, he might come to see his own son in spring training.
As a kid, Vetrovec always dreamed about making the big leagues. He is 17 now and one of the top high school seniors in Southern California.

Director: Rian Johnson
Writer: Rian Johnson
Stars: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt
Motion Picture Rating: 15
Runtime: 119 minutes
Rian Johnson is a 39 year-old native of Maryland who is building an impressive TV and film resume. His breakthrough was the film Brick in 2005 and since then he has worked impressively on the film The Brothers Bloom and the TV series Breaking Bad. With Looper he has delivered his best work to date. He wrote and directed it and in both departments his talent shines through. This is splendid stuff – a time travelling thriller that works on multiple levels.
As with Brick, the lead actor is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Here he plays a hitman for the mob, a so-called looper. He gets paid to kill enemies of the mob sent back from the future. He eliminates them and any problems that they might create down the road for criminal paymasters he has never met. It's a complex business time travel and clearly a sci-fi device, but it sits perfectly in the middle of this story. Johnson balances high concept with serious drama and gets great performances out of Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis (as the aged hitman).
The encounter between the young and the old killer is the cornerstone of Looper. This is about boys becoming men and the importance of mentors along the way. Willis has a lot to tell his younger self, but Gordon-Levitt is too busy living fast to worry about the future. In that future Willis has found love and as such this story is also about having a love that you will kill or die for – holding it tight no matter what. The aged hitman needs to educate the younger man about living, but has to do so without losing his own life in the process.
There are big themes here, cleverly interwoven and built on a strong screenplay. Looper has been passed over in awards season, but Johnson deserves a lot of credit for his writing on this. The cast is strong and all of the actors deliver (with Gordon-Levitt and Willis playing off each other particularly well). This is an eye-catching, absorbing, well-paced and moving film – all things that I struggled to find in last year's blockbuster Inception. And what a great starting point; what would your 55 year old self tell your 25 year old self if it could?
