Can an automobile accident cause loss of sight? Can individuals claim disability coverage if they lose their sight in a motor vehicle accident in Kansas? Blunt head trauma, exposure to toxic fumes, contact with sharp objects, and automobile fires can cause serious injury to the eyes. This damage can lead to permanent impairment or complete loss of vision. When this happens, it can completely upend an individual's life and cause serious emotional and financial harm.
It's estimated that 20-30% of patients in neurological rehabilitation suffer some form of vision impairment. Nationwide, there are more than 2.5 million Americans who live with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Of these, nearly 20% suffered their injuries in a motor vehicle accident. Statistically, this means that roughly 500,000 individuals have suffered some loss of vision following their motor vehicle accident.
From 2001 to 2008, it was estimated that hospital emergency rooms treated 75,028 individuals for eye injuries suffered in motor vehicle accidents. Of these nearly 60% were men. In all, drivers accounted for 62.2% of individuals treated for eye injuries. This is a significant number of injuries, and while the number of eye injuries recorded is declining, the number remains high enough that motorists should be cognizant of the risks of suffering an eye injury behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
Head trauma is a leading cause of vision loss. When the head strikes a steering wheel, airbag, window, seat, or dash, it can do significant damage to the optic nerves, retinas, blood vessels, orbit, and optical pathways. While surgeons can repair some damage, they can't repair everything. The reality is that some traumatic eye injuries simply can't be corrected by modern medicine. Any eye injury can result in diminished visual acuity, the loss of the ability to drive, and potentially, the loss of income from a job. The loss of sight also leads to diminished quality of life and lifestyle. In all cases, the immediate and long-term impact of the injury can persist throughout an individual's lifetime.

Triumph67 was an official selection at TCAFF last weekend, and the film was well attended and was followed by a great Q&A. The audience was enthusiastic and we had a lot to talk about afterwards. I loved meeting the filmmakers and passionate audience members who attended the screening, and I found it to be quite emotional and relevant to discuss the significance of working with Mohannad Ghawanmeh, my Palestinian co-producer, particularly in the venue of an Arab film festival.
As we look to 2012, Triumph67 will set its sights on festivals with a focus on Arab cinema. Thanks again to TCAFF for recognizing this important film.

Imagine yourself on a grassy bank, or in a camp chair, settling in on a steamy summer day, with a group of friends playing bluegrass music. Frank Solivan's "Family, Friends and Heroes" transports the listener to that place. Solivan's world of bluegrass is high and lonesome, but with powerful technical chops. His mandolin playing is stout, but uplifting, and provides the core to the CD. As the title suggests, Solivan is joined by many collaborators, and the result is an outpouring of feeling and love for the players and the music.
Dirty Kitchen is Frank's Solivan's touring and recording band. Although this CD is not credited as a Dirty Kitchen record, the band members are well-represented, including banjoist Mike Munford and Chris Luquette on guitar.
Some selections are outside of the bluegrass lane, but upon listening, their inclusion is well-justified. "Leaving on A Jet Plane," by now a time-worn tune, gets a lift from Munford's clever banjo fills and John Cowan's powerful tenor harmony. In the same way, Solivan's own composition, "Mask Snorkel and Fins" would fit nicely at a Jimmy Buffet concert, but his mandolin runs, delivered with island syncopation, make it special.
Solivan's late mother, Lorene, contributes powerful lead vocals, along with her son, on the traditional "Wayfaring Stranger." His dad, Frank Solivan Sr., appears on several cuts playing guitar and banjo.
The "friends" of the album's title deliver equally. Rob Ickes and Jerry Douglas each make appearances on Dobro. Solivan is a world-class mandolin player, so he feels comfortable matching licks with Ronnie McCoury on "When The Leaves Turn Brown" and Sam Bush on "Dark Hollow." The latter is especially tasty, with Solivan and Bush competitively melding their mandolin lines whilst at the same time challenging each other. There's a good reason why the CD credits on this song read "mandolin (right)" and "mandolin (left)," referring to Solivan and Bush respectively.
Solivan even enlists Del McCoury, the gateway drug of bluegrass music, to contribute high tenor harmony on Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman." Munford's banjo nearly steals the show on the cut, even in the context of an iconic song and an iconic singer.
"Family, Friends and Heroes" may not be a bluegrass record, strictly speaking. But, it displays great heart and musicianship.

Endothelin receptor antagonism during preeclampsia: a matter of timing?
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication, featuring elevated blood pressure and proteinuria, with no appropriate treatment. Activation of the endothelin system has emerged as an important pathway in PE pathophysiology based on experimental PE models where endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) prevented or attenuated hypertension and proteinuria. Hence, ERAs have been suggested as potential therapy for PE. However, developmental toxicity studies in animals have shown severe teratogenic effects of ERAs, particularly craniofacial malformations. Nonetheless, sporadic cases of pregnancy in women using ERAs to treat pulmonary hypertension have been described. In this review we give an overview of cases describing ERA use in pregnancy and critically address their possible teratogenic effects. A systematic search in literature yielded 18 articles describing 39 cases with ERA exposure during human pregnancy. In most cases there was only exposure in the first trimester, but exposure later or throughout pregnancy was reported in five cases. Elective termination of pregnancy was performed in 12 pregnancies (31%), two ended in a spontaneous miscarriage (5%) and no fetal congenital abnormalities have been described in the remaining cases. These preliminary findings support the idea that ERA treatment for severe, early onset PE might be an option if applied later in pregnancy, when organogenesis is completed to avoid teratogenic risks. However, third trimester toxicology studies are warranted to evaluate drug safety. Subsequently, it remains to be established whether ERA treatment is effective for alleviating maternal symptoms, as demonstrated in preclinical PE models, allowing pregnancy prolongation without leading to adverse neonatal outcomes.

Klarafestival: Music to lift spirits in events across Brussels, including mini free concerts in glass box
Each spring, Klarafestival – Belgium's most innovative classical music festival, comes together in Brussels and Flanders under a theme that reflects the current state of the world, and the power of music to lift us up and beyond it. This year's theme is Libera Me (Liberate me). It's inspired by redemption, the battle of good over evil and the mythical character of Faust who made a pact with the devil for his soul, only to realise what a foolish mistake it had been.
It's an especially poignant theme given Britain's departure from the European Union, and Klarafestival will mark the occasion with a special Brexit concert at Bozar on 29 March, the night of the island's intended departure. With the British Aurora Orchestra conducted by Nicolas Altstaedt, it will feature readings by British authors Ali Smith, Jonathan Coe and Sulaiman Addonia between John Taverener's The Protecting Veil and Les Illuminations by Benjamin Britten. The night will close with Haydn's Farewell Symphony where each musician, having played their part, leaves ceremoniously, one by one, leaving two mute violins on the stage.
"It was the first piece that came to mind for the Brexit concert which is also the closing concert of the season, and it was hotly debated," admits Klarafestival's managing director Sophie Detremmerie. "Throughout the ages political co-operation between Britain and the continent has always been up and down but there has constantly been great cultural co-operation. We want to show this bigger picture, that we will continue collaborating together, Brexit or not."
One of Detremmerie's personal highlights will take place on 23 March when composer and musician John Zorn is unleashed on the Bozar's monumental organ, which was restored to all its bellowing glory in 2017 after decades of silence. Zorn's compositions are known for encompassing dissonant elements of punk, metal and klezmer. "Zorn is going to improvise jazz on the Bozar organ. It's not going to be the easiest music to listen to but I want to be there, it's going to be very special," she says.
The festival is a highlight of the busy cultural calendar of Brussels-Capital Region. Once again, it will be holding a series of intimate, free 15-minute concerts given outdoors in a specially constructed glass box, big enough only to house a grand piano, a couple of musicians and a maximum audience of three. "We wanted to bring classical music to new 21st century audiences in an innovative way, and it was a good, much needed first stage for conservatory student musicians to learn to play with the public at such close proximity," says Detremmerie.
The success of the glass box concerts in Place Flagey last year has led to the festival to place the box in three different areas of the city this year to attract three different crowds. The box will appear at Place de la Monnaie in the centre from 14 March with a nod to tourists, in the predominantly French-speaking commune of Schaerbeek from 19 March and the predominantly Dutch-speaking commune of Jette from 25 March – which was voted for in a competition run on the Klarafestival Facebook site. Grab a seat online before they all disappear.
When: Until 29 March
Where: Venues in Brussels and Flanders
How: Reserve online here
Klarafestival Box
When: 14-29 March
Where: Place de la Monnaie (Brussels), Avenue Louis Bertrand (Schaerbeek), Place Cardinal Mercier (Jette)

I am always very grateful for any testimonials from my clients, so when Glynis German, a well-known celebrant living on Mallorca, decided to write about her experience of Energetic Wisdom in her Blog I was, of course, delighted.
As a side note, I lived on Mallorca until April 2016, when I moved back to the UK to live in the New Forest, Hampshire.
"I had the pleasure to go see Tony yesterday for an appointment in Energetic Wisdom work and arrived promptly for my appointment at his beautiful cottage in the countryside of Lloseta. The backdrop to the house when I arrived was stunning, the Serra de Tramuntana which never fails to uplift me.
What did I expect? Well first of all good friend, Marsha had been going on about him any chance she could, so I knew he must have something. I was looking forward to having someone sort out my ankle and shoulder and knowing that he trained originally as an osteopath, I thought if nothing else he could have a quick tweak for me.
I just had to get comfortable in my chair and take in this lovely, kind Welsh man's wisdom.
As my appointment earlier in the week had to be cancelled due to a migraine, we decided that this was as good a place to start as any.
My earliest memory of my migraines was the day I started my drama course at Middlesex Poly, back in 1986. I had trekked across London to Golders Green and what with the excitement, nerves and basic stagefright, I ended up crashing in the basement and missing out on most of the day.
With Tony yesterday I made a decision. I no longer need to hide from myself and take to my bed which is the physical requirement for my migraines – pills don't work for me. It's time to let them go and so we talked in depth about their meaning and then did some work. This is where my mind has gone blank. I can't clearly remember what we did and what I can remember I cannot explain. I do know that there were words spoken and energy work done.
The words provoked something in me which was positive and uplifting.
The session was over too soon although it seemed like hours that I was there when in fact it was just over an hour. I was told to drink lots of water and that I might have some reactions such as tiredness or even some emotions might come up. Well, I was immediately shattered. My mind was blank. I picked up second born and a friend from school and they had to get their own lunch as I went for a siesta. I was out like a light.
The most amazing thing about yesterday's session is that whilst I mentioned my ankle and shoulder to Tony, we left it aside. This pain in my shoulder and the one in my ankle have been there since last autumn which has also been the poorest economic time in my entire life, giving me many a sleepless night and panic attack in the day.
Guess what? No pain since yesterday afternoon!
Tony Mills, Soul Whisperer and Energetic Wisdom worker talks a lot of sense. He's also meant to do what he does. I look forward to this next phase of my life – thank you, Tony."
Further to this appointment, Glynis German reported that she had not experienced any more migraines.
If you are ever looking for a wedding celebrant, I can highly recommend the service of Glynis German. She has a delightful, fun-loving nature and being a resident of Mallorca since many years, she is also very well connected and can guide you in your choice of venue and anything else you might be looking for. Visit her website.
I help adults and children and offer appointments in person or by Skype/Zoom.

OneDrive can be considered one of the best cloud storage service you can use. If you're a PC user, OneDrive even comes built-in on Windows 10. It also adds an entry to the left pane in File Explorer, which if you might not want to see if you're not a OneDrive user — or you're an advanced user that syncs everything automatically to OneDrive.
While Windows 10 doesn't include an option to remove the OneDrive shortcut, you can jump into the Registry to remove the shortcut manually.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to tweak the Registry to remove the OneDrive entry in the left pane of File Explorer, but without ditching the service completely in case you need to manage or upload files to the cloud.
How to remove OneDrive from File Explorer
Important: As always, this is a friendly reminder warning that editing the registry is risky, and it can cause irreversible damage to your installation if you don't do it correctly. It's recommended to make a full backup of your computer before proceeding.
- Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.
- Type regedit, and click OK to open the registry.
Browse the following path:
If you're having difficulties finding this particular entry, do the following:
- Use the Ctrl + F keyboard shortcut to open Find.
Copy and paste the Registry entry you're looking for, in this case:
Click Find Next to start a search.
This particular entry can be repeated multiple times in the database, as such make sure to click the Find Next button several times until the Status Bar at the bottom of the Registry reads: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}.
Select the {018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} key, and on the right side, double-click the System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree DWORD.
Change the DWORD value from 1 to 0.
- Close the Registry to complete the task.
Once you completed the steps, close and reopen File Explorer, and you should no longer see the OneDrive entry on the left pane. If you don't see the change, try restarting your PC.
Quick Tip: If you ever need to access the OneDrive root folder, simply type OneDrive in the address bar of File Explorer and press Enter.
If you want to revert the changes, follow the same steps mentioned above, but this time on step 5 change the System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree DWORD value from 0 to 1.
Keep in mind that this won't uninstall the OneDrive client from Windows 10, we're simply removing the entry from File Explorer when you don't have a use for it.

Celebrating 35 years
Operation Hunger's Poutlry Projects
Addressing Community Nutrition Needs
Four income generating poultry projects have commenced in the Western Cape thanks to once-off funding from Semester at Sea. These projects, based in Green Park, DeDoorns, Grabouw and Elandsbaai, will benefit three child-headed households, elderly people in the community, six families experiencing malnutrition and families affected by TB and malnutrition respectively. In all the poultry projects will generate income for 26 families.
The Malemati poultry project in Limpopo, funded by the Nedcor Foundation, represents a milestone in the development of this community. The 100m² building houses 1 000 layers and sells eggs every month on pension day, bringing in enough income for the 10 health carers to support their families, develop a garden project and purchase additional stock when required.
Ploughing of the land has commenced in preparation for the vegetable garden. This project is the only initiative in a community of 1 200 households and will result in 15 400 men, women and children having access to fresh vegetables and eggs. Ten women are running this project and 105 families stand to benefit economically from its implementation.

What We Do
What We Do
Door dings, dents, creases & hail damage repairs in Gosford
Is there anything more annoying than seeing your perfectly washed and waxed vehicle, then noticing there's a glaringly obvious dent? Paintless dent removal is becoming more common as vehicle manufacturers use high strength metal and resilient paint finishes.
RAPID Auto Dent is renowned for our expertise when it comes to minor dent removal. We can remove most dents caused by:
Shopping trolleys
Reverse parking mishaps
Car doors
Parking lot incidents
Mother nature—hail damage, branches or debris
Rogue golf balls/cricket balls or various recreational sporting gear that hits your car
Minor accidents
Get your dent fixed today.
Book your car in for repair
What is Paintless Dent Removal?
Unlike traditional methods of dent removal, we use specialist tools to gently push the metal back into its original shape. We gain access to the dent by either a) removing interior panels or via window openings after removing the trims. To repair dents, it generally requires the metal to be slowly massaged back into its original position. Working from the outer edge in, the dent becomes progressively smaller until it blends in with the paintwork and disappears completely.
Special lighting is used to highlight the depth of the dent, allowing us to determine how much massaging pressure is required from behind the panel to get the best results.
See the difference
paintless dent removal makes by viewing before and after photos in our gallery.
How Much Does Paintless Dent Removal Cost?
Pricing does vary depending on the location and size of the dent, the complexity and the type of vehicle being repaired. Paintless dent removal is exceptionally affordable when compared to the cost of several hundred dollars to repair and paint a single dent using traditional panel beating methods.
Insurance work
RAPID Auto Dent undertakes all insurance work. Simply provide us with a claim number and we'll take care of the rest. We'll liaise with your preferred insurance provider, making the entire process hassle-free.
Accident repairs
If you've been involved an accident and your car requires a few more repairs than minor dent removal, we can provide you with a list of smash repairers and vehicle painters we regularly deal with and highly recommend.

We'd like to take a moment and recognize our newest employees to Green River. Please take a moment to learn more about them, in their own words.
Please tell everyone your new title and a little bit about your professional background.
My new title at Green River College is Educational Planner. I have been working in higher education for 5 years. Most recently I held the title of Program Specialist for the 13th Year Promise Scholarship program at South Seattle College where I supported high school seniors from South's feeder high schools through the college's enrollment process and throughout their first year at South. In 2014, I obtained my M.Ed in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Washington.
What drew you to apply to Green River?
Although I didn't attend a community college, after working at a community college and as a first-generation college student, I recognize and value the mission and role of the community college in the United States. They provide accessible education and support to a diverse range of students, including traditionally underrepresented student populations within higher education.
On the car ride to work, what do you listen to?
I listen to music on either my phone or the radio. I'm always listening to 90s throwbacks.
What was the very first job you ever had?
My first job was as a night stocker at a pet store when I was in high school.
What about your new position is most exciting for you?
I am most excited about joining a dynamic team of professionals at Green River where we can collaborate in helping students achieve their educational goals.
What is one thing you'd love to accomplish in your first year at Green River?
I enjoy program development and would love to help build upon the work that advising is already doing or to develop new programming that would support student success
What three accomplishments are you most proud of in your life?
1) Being the first in my family to attend college and to obtain a bachelors and masters degree.
2) Traveling for 8 months through South America and Asia by myself.
3) Having a great circle of friends and family over the years.
If your coworkers were to give you an office nickname, what would that be?
My office nickname would be something along the lines of "neat-freak" because my workspace is always organized and I am probably borderline OCD.
For Green River's annual talent show (this doesn't actually exist), what hidden talent would you showcase for everyone?
Unfortunately I don't have any exciting hidden talents, but I can stare for a really long time without blinking
If G.R.E.E.N. were an acronym for something, what would each letter stand for?
Genuine, Respectful, Equitable, Excellence, Noble

CHITOZYME - Chitosan
Powerful, All-Natural Fat Blocker
Chitosan is a natural product that inhibits fat absorption. It has the potential to revolutionize the process of losing weight and by so doing, reduce the incidence of some of the most devastating Western diseases we face today. Chitosan is indigestible and non-absorbable. Fats bound to Chitosan become non-absorbable, thereby negating their caloric value. Chitosan-bound fat leaves the intestinal tract having never entered the bloodstream. Chitosan is remarkable in that it has the ability to absorb an average of 4 to 5 times its weight in fat.
The same features that allow Chitosan to bind fats endow it with many other valuable properties that work to promote health and prevent disease. Chitosan is a remarkable substance whose time has come.
Chitin, the precursor to Chitosan, was first discovered in early 1811. Chitin is the most abundant natural fiber next to cellulose, and is similar to cellulose in many aspects. The most abundant source of Chitin is in the shells of shellfish, such as crab and shrimp. Chitosan is made by cooking Chitin in alkali, much like the process for making natural soaps. After it is cooked, the links of the Chitosan chain are made up of glucosamine units. Each glucosamine unit contains a free amino group. These groups take on a positive charge, which gives the Chitosan it amazing properties.

Many people believe weight-loss programs should begin with enzyme therapy. Enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, along with other helpful functions. Enzymes take those nutrients that are inside food and put them to use in our systems.
One of the most common causes of obesity is the craving of foods and the over-eating which results from that over-eating. When we consume food, we use those foods (healthy or not) to provide nutrients for our ever-working bodies. Without proper enzymatic function, the foods containing those essential nutrients don't get broken down properly. The result is our body telling us to eat more, or in other words, it needs nutrients. With the use of enzymes we can greatly control those cravings and help get those nutrients our bodies need.
HHN's ChitoZyme adds to the already impressive, natural weight-loss line of products. This Fat Blocker Formula, combined with the other amazing HHN weight-loss products, is sure to impress you with the results you desire!

TALENT SCOUT - Zac Rae
Zac Rae has been a fixture on the Los Angeles music scene for nearly two decades. He's toured and recorded with everyone from Alanis Morissette to Lana Del Ray, and he currently plays keyboards in the acclaimed band Death Cab For Cutie. (Did we mention that Rae's gear collection is so legendary that Spectrasonics sampled some of it for their Keyscape virtual instrument)? For all these reasons and more, Zac Rae is our TALENT SCOUT Artist of the Week.
NAME: Zac Rae
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA, after spending my childhood years in London, UK.
MUSICAL TRAINING: I took piano lessons starting around five years old, and then a couple of years at USC Music School before dropping out to work full time. Shockingly, no one has ever passed me over for a gig because I didn't have a degree.
FIRST GIGS: When I was in high school, you could get a gig playing jazz for a couple hours at places like Barnes and Noble. So my friends and I would play in little quartets, and each get paid in $25 gift cards, which translated to about two CDs. Later as a teenager, I spent some time on the Cuban jazz circuit in Los Angeles, which was a lot of fun.
MUSICAL INFLUENCES: One thing I've always thought is how people should be influenced more by other instruments than the one they primarily play. So while I obviously like all the remarkable pianists, organists, and keyboardists you might expect, I'm likely to take as much influence from someone like Marc Ribot, or Nels Cline, or John Coltrane, or Yo Yo Ma. When I was in music school, I used to frustrate everyone by telling them my favorite pianist was [Antonio Carlos] Jobim. But if you actually listen, his contributions to the actual performances on those records are perfectly restrained. There's not a single note more than is necessary.
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW: The new album by Arca. He is remarkable. The Chris Thile/Brad Mehldau duo album is gorgeous. For song based stuff, I love the album The Party by the Canadian artist Andy Shauf. I've also been on a big Ornette [Coleman] kick.

MY BIG BREAK: Around the time I dropped out of music school in 1999, I met a group of more active musicians in LA and I started connecting and working with them. Before that, I had really only been playing with people I met at school. I think I had a combination of musical knowledge, sonic diversity and creativity that made me instantly find a natural home in recording studios. One thing led to another and soon I was working full time doing session work, and then I got my first touring break with Alanis Morissette in 2001 when I was 21.
LATEST PROJECT/GIGS: For the last few years, I've been playing as a member of the group Death Cab For Cutie, which has been great because at the end of the day, I really love playing in a band with my friends. I also released the third album from one of my personal projects Early Winters called I Want To Break Your Heart on August 11th. As a sideguy, I contributed a ton of keyboards and other instrumentation to the recent Lana Del Rey album "Lust For Life" which just debuted at Number One.
FAVORITE KEYBOARDS AND WHY: I have a shockingly huge arsenal of keyboards of all shapes and sizes, but I've often said I want to be buried with my 1890's Wing Upright piano. Fortunately, this was one of the instruments that Spectrasonics chose to sample for their Keyscape library and they did an amazing job of it, so now I can take it with me anywhere I go. A close second would be my Hammond Organ, a 1963 church cabinet A105 that Ken Rich restored for me about 15 years ago. Honorable mention goes to the Teenage Engineering OP-1, which in my opinion is the single greatest piece of music technology to have been created in my lifetime. Have I mentioned, I love gear?
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU? I'm very excited to be heading into the studio with Death Cab later this year to make our next album. Also, I'm scheduled to score my first feature film next year, and it's shaping up to be very moody and dark - just the way I like my soundtracks.
ADVICE TO THE NEXT GENERATION: Put down your phone. Read books. Be on time. Know the music ahead of time. Listen to other people. Listen to the other instruments. Try to make the other people on stage (or in the studio) sound good - don't worry about yourself. Never do something just because people say you "should." Learn about all the other parts of life besides music.

At the Piccola Universita Italiana you will find just the language course in Italy you are looking for.
Who are our students?
The diversified selection of Italian language courses at our Italian language schools in Italy is directed at employees of international companies who need Italian in their professional lives, for university students who study romance languages or languages in general, or simply for people who appreciate this kind of cultural holiday through immersion where a better understanding of Italian culture and the Italian way of life is obtained.
A lot of our students just simply love Italy, Dolce Vita, Italian food, the Italian language and they value the professional and personal Italian lessons in a relaxed atmosphere.
Depending on the month of the year, age and nationality may vary.
The minimum age is 16 (for students aged 16-17,99 an authorization form signed by parents needs to be sent together with the booking).
Read more about our students here.
Inscription fee
Our Italian language schools offer a number of services included in the obligatory inscription fee:
- Course book and lesson material, writing pad, school bag
- Written and oral placement test
- Certificate and confirmation of participation
- Map and information, excursion tips
- Club card
- Presentation including a welcome cocktail

Group courses with only 3 – 8 students per class
To enable you as many chances as possible to practise speaking we limit group numbers of our group courses to a maximum of 8 participants at each level. On the first day of the language course, all students participate in a written and oral placement test. This test is the basis for placement in one of our 15 levels of competence. In case it is not possible for a student to be allocated to a group at the right level (with 3-8 participants), then this student will be placed in a 2 to 1 course or will receive private tuition with the number of lessons reduced by half. The language students are in this way guaranteed highest learning efficiency.
The course is designed to satisfy your individual language needs, this is achieved by placing you at the level of competence exactly right for you.
Placement into groups of 15 levels of language competence
It is very important to us that our students are placed into groups at the right language level. The first Monday of the language course starts with a written test which takes about 30 minutes, the test is then corrected in the framework of an oral test.
Students at the Piccola Università Italiana are placed into one of 15 levels of language competence!
The Italian language courses at the Piccola Universita Italiana are designed to satisfy the diversified needs and wishes of our students. The course programme is expanding constantly.
Duration of a lesson
The duration of a lesson unit for all Italian language courses is 55 minutes in all Italian language courses at our Italian language school.
N.B.: (The duration of our Junior programme and most activity plus elements have a different lesson duration.)
Our course programme is divided into the following categories:

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'poem' category.
that's what Natalie Goldberg, my favorite of all time writer gurus says, just write. Just do it, man. or in my case, woman. Put pen to paper. Finger tips to keyboard. Pencil to cardboard. Fingers to the air. Just do it. Right now. Right here. No excuses. No stopping. No monkey mind. That's what Goldberg calls that part of our brain that distracts us and pulls us right and left up and down and then all zig zaggy. When all the time, our original intention was to sit down and write out a page or two or ten or the poem of our life.
This Saturday evening, I am attending a Literary Salon. Sounds fancy, huh? At least it does to me. I joined a local writer's group earlier this year, it could have been last year, it was in the dark months of winter that much I remember. I am not much of a joiner in the way of joining groups. I used to be. A joiner of political groups. I railed against all sorts of human injustices and fought hard for human and individual rights for a long long time. And then I grew weary.
Back to my current subject of the fancy sounding upcoming Literary Salon. I am excited. Nervous. But more excited. The event is being held at someone's home whom I have never met. And here's the really cool and brave part, I volunteered to read some of my writing. The organizers were looking for 10 volunteers to read 5 minutes of their work. Since most of my essays are more than two pages long, I quickly decided to read a few selections from my body of erotica poetry. That is, until I spoke with the main organizer who informed me that there will be children present. Good to know. So onto Plan B. or Actually C.
I have chosen four other poems to read and have been practicing the timing of the reading and introduction to the pieces to fit within the five minute allotment. Five minutes goes by really fast!
This will be good for me. Meeting other writers. Being inspired by their work in progress. Sharing a part of myself that has been dormant for far too long.
So I have returned to my roots and busted out my beloved guru's books, Writing Down the Bones and Wild Mind. They have inspired me for many years and continue to remind me of my first love ~ words, writing and the telling of stories. Utter bliss. Just write. So right.
Touch me.
not tomorrow
nor in a moment,
but now.
Here. In the here and the right there
and now.
@junemoon 2012
Talk with me
and share with me
those things that you hold dear.
Let us exchange the delight in our respective lives. Tell of the beauty I behold when I look deeply into your eyes. Let us build on the excitement of the spark that ignites when two minds meet and mine the gold of their hearts.
Let us talk and talk
and we will build castles in the sky and in the sand, complete with bridges
traversing our hearts our minds our souls.
Let us go deep
into the valleys the interior landscape and the shadowed unknown.
Exploring plumbing searching
We will be amazed
over and over
again, with treasures discovered. Long lost and sort of forgotten
until now.
Talk with me.
@junemoon 2012
Morning prayer.
Please help me
shed my ego
for today.
So that I may be
present in the moment.
The real me
not the puffed up ego driven me.
Please help me
be of service to my
earthly counterparts
through the gift of being
present and teachable
with my ear to the hearts of others.
@junemoon 02/2012
Holiday tunes
in my head
New ones. Old ones.
Some invited
not so much.
Each playing to the
beat of their own
little drum ~
@ junemoon 2011
in my corner of this Earth planet,
I sit on my autumn hued paisley sofa
laptop literally on my lap
morning cup of peppermint tea to the left of me
feet propped on the oversized sienna leather ottoman ~
feeling quite filled up
with wonder ~ renewed gratitude ~
a veritable melody plays in my core.
Be still ~ please.
Can you hear the song of my heart?
(c) junemoon 2011
Feels good.
Mind space
open airy
could not do
sans friends.
too full
without these times.
These times of
flying solo.
(c) junemoon 2011
what holds me ~ keeps me ~
keep the anchor
buried deep.
@junemoon 2011
Shift change. Winter Sun with us now.
Pale comparison.
Gone, orange still warm autumn sun ~ our faces cast upward ~ soaking in each ray's warmth.
Winter begins today.

Our Network
The Washington State Surfrider Foundation Chapters are brought together under the Surfrider Foundation mission statement of the protection and enjoyment of our ocean, waves, and beaches through a powerful activist network. We are surfers, beach-goers, paddlers, divers, and those who simply love our marine waters and beaches in Washington State. Our chapter volunteers engage in a variety of programs and campaigns in the state such as: water quality testing, ocean friendly gardens, plastic reduction strategies, marine spatial planning, beach cleanups, leadership development, and fun events to showcase their work.
Washington activists come from all different backgrounds. You do not have to be a surfer to take part in your local chapter- many of our members enjoy photography, beach cleanups, and other water sports like diving, kayaking, and stand up paddle boarding – all you need is a passion for clean water and a commitment to fun and goals along with other chapter activists. Visit your local chapter's page to see what is happening in your community and get active today!
Staff Support
We have two staff in Washington working on a full-time basis to further the Surfrider mission and help support our chapter programs and campaigns. Below is a little bit about them, the committees that they serve on, and their contact information.
Gus Gates – Washington Policy Manager
In his role as the Washington Policy Manager, Gus coordinates the chapters role on statewide policy initiatives such as ocean protection, coastal resiliency and eliminating plastic pollution, distilling complex information into actionable pieces, and helping to elevate our collective voice on coastal conservation issues. Gus resides in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of South Seattle, and has been a member of the Surfrider staff for over 10 years in the Pacific Northwest. Gus coordinates the Washington Chapters Policy Advisory Committee, and also serves at the pleasure of the Governor as the ocean recreation representative on the Washington Coastal Marine Advisory Council, as well as the Marine Resources Advisory Council focusing on implementing solutions on ocean acidification. Additionally, he represents Surfrider on the Puget Sound Environmental Caucus as well as the Washington Environmental Priorities Coalition. In his free time, Gus enjoys surfing, snowboarding, gardening, kayaking/fishing, and hiking/camping. Contact Gus.
Our Mission
Our mission is the protection and enjoyment of ocean, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network. Learn more about our network and our work.
You can think about that as three concepts. "Protection and enjoyment", we don't want to put a velvet rope around a beach and tell people to keep off. We spend a lot of time on and in our waters…we enjoy the coasts. We're a user group. Next up is "oceans, waves and beaches." Think coastlines, we're engaged with environmental issues that affect our coastlines. "Powerful activist network" speaks to how we go about this mission. We are a grassroots organization. We're local in many coastal regions.
We're moms and dads, we're surfers and beach goers, we're kids and retirees… we're you. We're engaged to protect what we love: oceans, waves and beaches.
We would love to have you join us, you can join Surfrider here.

Yes, that's right! This year (with two children aged 5 and 2) we are going sugar-free.
9 months ago we made the decision to switch our family over to a low carb, unprocessed diet and Easter will be no exception.
Last Easter we sat with store bought eggs in our cupboards for months afterwards which we eventually threw out anyway, and as long as they sat there, we were fighting the battle of trying to limit our kids intake and constantly telling them why they couldn't have 'just one more'.
So in many ways, going sugar free this year has been much easier than what previous years have been.
The Plan
We haven't had sugared treats in our house for months now so the girls are well accustomed to the idea – While Easter has never been about the chocolate for us I think Tai (5 years old) was a little perplexed as to how Easter was actually going to work this year. I have simply assured her that we do have a plan in place and she's been quite happy to accept that. It's actually been really nice for us as she hasn't anticipated the great accumulation of chocolate eggs at all and we've really been able to properly chat about the meaning of Easter.
I don't believe that Easter is a time to lavish our children with gifts so I've chosen a couple of very practical but fun alternatives to chocolate for this weekend.
My girls will wake-up to new pjs a winter gown and slippers hanging in the trees of our garden this year. They will also get a fluffy bunny to cuddle and a fun plastic tumbler to make their water more easily accessible to them.
In truth, the Easter hunt at home was really the easiest one to change – it's the outside gatherings that I expect to be a bit more of a challenge.
For these I have sourced a couple of sugar-free Easter eggs to use as replacements (you can find these at various health stores), we have made low carb cupcakes and for the family members who have asked what they can get for the girls, I have requested things like art supplies, bubble bath, stickers, hair clips and socks – which I am sure will be even more cost effective for them than the ridiculous price of the chocolate eggs this year.
I've seen a couple of moms who have managed to get their hands on some hollow plastic eggs which are great for filling with non-sugared surprises. (please comment below if you know where in Joburg I can find some of these). Some moms have taken advantage of Lush South Africa's awesome Easter treats and others are hiding books all over their garden on Sunday morning – there really are so many options to choose from and so many ways that we can forgo chocolate all together this Sunday morning.
And so, just 3 days before the big hunt, I'll leave you with this awesome homemade Almond Butter easter egg recipe for inspiration. I promise it will be well enjoyed. Have a beautiful and safe weekend with your loved ones 🙂
Almond Butter Easter Eggs
- 3/4 cups raw almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 5ml vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid xylitol
- easter egg chocolate mould
- 1 Cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Heat almond butter and coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds and mix well until fully combined.
Stir in vanilla extract and xylitol (taste and adjust if needed)
Pour mixture into egg moulds and freeze for one hour.
Remove from mould and set aside.
Make chocolate coating by melting chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Pour melted chocolate into moulds until they are half full. Then drop your frozen filling back into the mould to coat it.
Gently pour chocolate over the top to coat the eggs completely.
Store in the refrigerator.

Climbing Harnesses
Men's and Women's Climbing Harnesses
At K2, we proudly stock a large range of quality climbing harnesses from kids to adults with plenty of size options. We professionally fit harnesses in store, where we have a rope system in place so that you can test your fit before deciding which harness is best for your needs. If you're going out sport or trad climbing or working at heights & require a comfortable full body system or have a school group looking for a large size range to fit your students (& teachers) then we have you covered.
Here are some tips on what to look for in each type of harness:
Alpine harnesses
Alpine harnesses should be easy to get on & remove, have adjustable leg loops to make space for layering, have Ice clipper attachments & should be ultralight & packable.
Ideally they should also use materials that won't absorb much moisture to stay light & dry.
Kids harnesses
Kids harnesses will have options for full body systems which put the attachment point higher either on the back or top of chest. This reduces the chance of your child turning upside down in the harness when they fall. You can achieve this with a single harness or a dual system, sit harness & chest harness combo.
*Please note that a chest harness should not be used on its own.*
We have a great size range to ensure you get the most out of your harness as your little one grows.
Sport climbing harnesses
Sport climbing or trad climbing harnesses generally will be lightweight with more gear loops for trad climbers to carry all your equipment.
Many sport or trad harnesses feature non-adjustable leg loops to save weight & cost, as changing layers usually won't be needed.
Things to consider here include how much gear you need to take and how long you may sit in your harness.
Indoor & Outdoor Recreation climbing harnesses
Indoor & Outdoor Recreation climbing harnesses have only a few or no gear loops as carrying equipment whilst climbing isn't usually required.
These harnesses are typically one size and can cater for a very small waist up to a large waist range to accommodate different shapes and sizes.
Recreation harnesses are commonly not the most comfortable for sitting for long periods.
Industrial harnesses
Industrial harnesses have plenty of gear loops and lots of comfortable padding and should have a more tailored fit to keep you from getting too sore after a full day working on the rope.
We choose our stock of work harnesses in this range for their comfort & ergonomics.
We stock Fall Arrest, Work Positioning & Rescue Harnesses, meeting different needs and required safety accreditations like EN 361 / EN358 / EN813 / EN 1497 / EN12841.
So if you're an arborist, tower worker, access worker or lighting and sound rigger, we have you covered.
We also carry a great range of industrial harness accessories like tool bags, work lanyards & bosun chairs which you can find here.
Things to remember
It's a great habit to inspect your harness before and after each use.
If the webbing is starting to fray or its starting to fade, then it's a good idea to replace it.
Most of the industry recommends replacing your harness after 7 years, even after proper storage & minimal use.
For professionals we recommend that you replace your harnesses at least annually or after a large fall.
We prefer to walk on the safe side and climb safely.
Please choose carefully as we cannot exchange climbing equipment for safety reasons.
