A to V was once part of Metamorphix Interiors, both are owned and operated by Anel Voigt. The move was inspired by a desire to offer a service devoted solely to blinds which would be more cost effective.

Anel started Metamorphix Interiors in 2003 on the KZN North Coast, where it operated before relocating to the Midlands.
 
Metamorphix has had several noteworthy blind installation projects during its existence, key among these were the RHI factory and administrative offices in Isithebe and various projects in the idyllic holiday destination, Zinkwazi Beach.

Baseline Concussion Testing at MOBIL Lab.

mobil newsWhat is concussion?
Concussion is a brain injury caused by trauma that transmits force to the brain either directly or indirectly and results in impairment of brain function. A player can sustain a concussion without losing consciousness. Concussion is associated with a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms that resolve sequentially.

When can a player safely return to play following a concussion?
According to BokSmart:-
 
Why is it so important to return to play at the appropriate time? Returning too soon following a concussion may have serious short & long term consequences including:

 More serious brain injury and even death
 Prolonged symptoms lasting weeks or months
 Greater risk of further concussions
 Interference with studies (school and university) and work
 Poor performance on the sports field
 Long term, permanent brain effects

So what can we do?
“A decreased ability to maintain balance is one of the hallmark signs of concussion."

A “baseline test” is a test that is done BEFORE a concussion happens. The purpose of a baseline test is to measure multiple areas of brain function that are commonly affected following a concussion.
This way, if an athlete does get a concussion, we can compare their post-injury state to their baseline parameters to help make an accurate diagnosis, as well as to establish a more objective determinant of recovery and readiness to return to their sport.
 
At MOBiL, the objective data provided by the Biodex Balance Assessment tool provides a performance baseline against which post-injury performance can be compared. In addition, a healthy population of student-athletes is stored on the system for general normative data comparison.

Detailed summary and progress reports track recovery and provide the medical team with quantitative data to help with the return-to-play decision.
The objective measure from postural stability/balance testing provides clinicians with an important additional piece of the concussion puzzle and assists them in determining readiness for return to play.

Music in The Hills 7 June 2017

mith logo 250x220Time: 7pm, entry R25, bring your own booze. Food and soft drinks are available for sale. Musicians who want to play at MiTH, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., Doug Borain cell 072 340 7034 or Charles Webster cell 082 331 7271 (Bill Pocket is away on leave).
 
DIRECTIONS TO MiTH:
Take the N3 to Hilton, take the Hilton turnoff and go South into the Village (away from Hilton College). Travel 5,2km along Hilton Avenue (past two sets of traffic lights and Old Main Brewery) and keep going straight as Hilton Avenue turns into Dennis Shepstone Drive. At the 5,2km mark, Knoll Drive will be on your right – the entrance to MiTH is the *second* entrance on your left into The Knoll Historic Guest Farm. (Dennis Shepstone Drive is currently under heavy construction – so please be very cautious.)
 
7pm - OPEN MIC
 
7.30pm – NICK PHARAZYN
 
Nick is one of Hilton’s long-standing blues singer-songwriter-guitar-harp plays, and will be joined by Charles Webster for a friendly jam session on the MiTH stage.
 
8.00pm – St JOHN AND TANYA
 
These two are some of our favourite musicians here in the Midlands of KZN.
 
Tanya leaves her heart on the stage - the utter abandon with which she delivers jazz standards, jazz not-so-standards and soulful ballad covers has left MiTH members tearful on more than one occasion. She lives and breathes every lyric. St John, in his unique, quiet way, provides a perfect foil for Tanya with smooth and evocative keyboard work and a raspy vocal that is as surprising as it is visceral. Their talent is undoubted and self-evident. Their impassioned performances, however, are clearly a function of deep pools of emotion. Tanya Nicolson, St John Haw.
 
9.00pm – MR JONNY LUCK
 
It’s been a little over a year since Jonny Luck quit his long-time hate-love relationship with the behinds of bars to take on a bitter-sweet love-hate relationship with the music industry. It’s been going greatish. Having learnt a thing or two about what’s what, realization struck that the road was calling and stories needed to be told. So a tour was put together. A good one. So if you’re feeling a little unlucky this autumn. Why not let a little luck shine with some original DARK FOLK BOOZE BLUES? Born and bred Capetonian, Jonny Luck is a singer/songwriter hidden behind an acoustic guitar and a dirty voice. Mixing a blend of whiskey soaked blues and fresh upbeat folk, this story teller will have you reminiscing of misspent youth, new love and those nights spent drinking at your local watering hole. Jonny Luck is a one man show incorporating earthy guitar rhythms, passionate harmonica lines and a worn in soul voice, all backed by the drive of a stomp box. Catch him on the road, up the road, down the road, and generally wherever the road may lead him.
 
Take a listen!
