Feral pigs damage Marble Falls residential, school and business lots
Crews began to repair landscaping damage Nov. 15 caused by feral hogs overnight in the 1000 block of Ridge Point Drive. Authorities blamed wild pigs for rooting up two other areas of town that same night, including the Colt Elementary School campus and businesses, just off Mormon Mill Road.
Feral hogs caused thousands of dollars in damage in one night recently at a local school campus, at least two private businesses and a number of residences, resulting in calls to authorities who contract with a trapper to help cull the herds in the northeast sector of Marble Falls.
The incidents were reported Nov. 15 and were believed to have been caused by a roving band of wild pigs possibly traveling in groups of half a dozen or more.

Editorial's inaccuracy harms Delta College status
Ra�l Rodr�guez
The Record editorial of Feb. 20 titled "Time to get serious; Probation a prospect not to be taken lightly by Delta College" left me with several concerns.
The most important of these is your contention that San Joaquin Delta College has ignored or put off action on more than half the suggestions of the accrediting commission. This has no basis in fact. Significant efforts began immediately to address all 11 recommendations mentioned by the commission in its initial report in July, and these efforts continue today. The latest report from the commission contains only six recommendations and has allowed us to adjust our focus and to accelerate our responses to the remaining issues.
Make no mistake: Accreditation weighs heavily on everyone's mind at Delta College. While being placed on probation is indeed a serious matter, it nonetheless serves no positive purpose to suggest that anyone at Delta College is taking this issue lightly.
Further, I find it dispiriting that The Record correctly printed in an article by Alex Breitler on Feb. 18 that the college Board of Trustees took definitive action to resolve a key accreditation issue: namely, to establish and adopt a code of ethics governing their actions. Then, two days later, The Record inexplicably wrote in an editorial that the Board of Trustees had failed to adopt a code of ethics.
While such inaccuracies may appear insignificant to your editorial board and perhaps even to those who read your paper, you may find it interesting to note that a contributing factor to the accrediting commission's decision to place the college on probation had to do with its continuing examination of local media coverage as it pertains to the Delta College Board of Trustees.
The November election resulted in the replacement of four of seven seats on the San Joaquin Delta College Board of Trustees. Since that time, another seat has been vacated and filled. The five new board members are working diligently with the two remaining members on a wide variety of inherited challenges as well as current issues raised by the financial crisis facing California and the rest of the country.
At Delta College, we recognize and support the media's responsibility to shine the light of public scrutiny on the operations of public agencies. When we err, we stand ready to accept any deserved criticism for our actions. However, given the seriousness of the college's accreditation situation, it is more important now than ever before that The Record's coverage of these issues be both accurate and fair.
» NOTE: We erred in our editorial. The news story of Feb. 18, "Delta College placed on probation by peer group," does indeed say the new Board of Trustees has adopted a code of ethics.

Surf's Up! – Yo! Venice!
South facing beaches like Topanga will see overheard waves this upcoming week. Photo: Sam Catanzaro.
Fun run of surf on tap for Santa Monica Bay this week.
The school year has started and so has football season but the Pacific Ocean is still in summer mode as back-to-back south swells line up to grace Los Angeles surfers with fun waves this week.
The first swell, which began to fill into the region this past weekend, will peak on Tuesday, September 11 with 4-5 foot waves expected at south facing beaches throughout Santa Monica Bay. The swell's southern direction means waves in Venice will be slightly smaller (but still rippable) compared to beaches in the northern parts of the bay. With water temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s, however, Venice surfers should have no problem having fun.
As this first south swell begins to fade midweek, a new south swell is expected to bring even larger waves to the region, beginning Friday, September 14. This second swell is a long period swell, meaning each wave will contain a great amount of energy. As a result, when the swell is expected to peak on Monday, September 17, certain south-facing beaches in Los Angeles will see 5-7 foot waves throughout the day. As in the first swell, the waves in Venice and the southern parts of Santa Monica Bay will be slightly smaller during this second swell, but forecasters are still expecting head high waves for the area.

Review: 'Nat Turner in Jerusalem' at Forum Theatre
Ramona Harper
The unsettling sight of a young man in shackles sitting on a bare, plank-wood floor; a glimmer of night sky piercing the darkness through the barred window of a simple jail cell; and the tense, disturbing sounds of an angry mob in the distance immediately grip the senses upon entering Nathan Alan Davis' Nat Turner in Jerusalem. Director Jose Carrasquillo draws the audience straightaway into an imagined last night on earth in the jail cell of Nat Turner, the leader of the bloodiest slave revolt in US history, in this riveting production at Forum Theatre.

Nat Turner's Rebellion of 1831 continues to draw interest about the ugly realities of slavery in the movies and in theaters. His fearless revolt against injustice and demagoguery still provoke conversations today that resonate in the current context of American history and politics.
Nat Turner in Jerusalem is an important work that keeps the dialogue alive. It examines the fears that can stoke the frightening fires of social division and questions what is justice in light of our common humanity.
Light plays an important part in shaping the themes in Nat Turner in Jerusalem. The theater is very dark and the stage upon which the story unfolds is only barely lit by the oil of a whale lamp and a bit of brightness shining through the prison window. Sometimes the whale lamp is blown out and the moon's glow is imperceptible.
Sitting for an entire production where both the stage and the house are almost in total darkness is an experience in itself. One craves light in the darkness. The subtle lighting design by William D'Eugenio deepened the serious tone of the play and greatly enhanced its dramatic edge, bringing to my mind the words of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." The minimal lighting made MLK's message a visceral experience through Nat Turner in Jerusalem.
Poetic language gives this production a richly nuanced loftiness despite its stark, static jail cell set design by Tony Cisek. Messianic symbolism, superbly captured in Nathan Alan Davis' elegant script, seemed ironically profound because Nat Turner didn't lead the slave revolt for political reasons; rather, spurred by his belief that he had a spiritual calling. He thought he was chosen by God to lead his people to the salvation of being free. And his trial for death by hanging took place in Jerusalem, VA (now Courtland).
Nat Turner was a slave but also an educated preacher to the enslaved. He had visions and saw signs that legitimized in his mind the brutal attack on whites in Southampton, VA that led to other slave revolts and the loss of many white and black lives. Sarah O'Halloran's moving sound design projected Negro Spirituals and spiritual vibrations that captured the visions in Nat Turner's mind.
Jon Hudson Odom's compelling charismatic characterization of Nat Turner is that of a fearless prophet. In lyrical language and preacher-man wit, he believably exerts his powerful influence, without remorse, yet likable charm and missionary zeal upon both Thomas Gray, a local lawyer who, along with the jailer, revisit Nat Turner in his jail cell on the night before his hanging. Gray is there to get final details for his book, "Confessions of Nat Turner: The Leader of the Late Insurrection in Southampton, VA". Their conversations unfold somewhat slowly yet the tempo felt about right for a 90-minute production.
Odom, Forum Ensemble Member and Helen Hayes Award recipient for Outstanding Supporting Actor, is a marvel in projecting understated strength. With a minimum of movement (he's in arm chains and leg shackles for most of the play) and by sheer force of Nat Turner's persona, he is able to penetrate the dark shell of Thomas Gray and the guard to reveal their underlying humanity despite their both being perpetrators of a social system that denied it.
Joe Carlson, a Helen Hayes Award nominee for Outstanding Leading Actor, plays dual roles as Thomas Gray and the jailer. His stellar performance of these two seemingly different characters from different social strata was so convincing that for a nanosecond, I was expecting to see a third person take a bow at curtain call. His quick changes were completely natural as he entered and exited as the long-haired, aristocratic lawyer and the lower-class guard.
The relationships in Nat Turner's jail cell reflect the unfortunate reality that fear can be more powerful than logic – then and now. The play's powerful message can be directed to present-day outrage at the political direction of this country.
Just this morning, I read the front-page headline of the Washington Post, "A bigger divide than the border," an article covering reports about immigrant children being separated for months from their parents by US officials upon being apprehended on our southern border.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Nat Turner in Jerusalem carries MLK's torch by examining man's inhumanity to man in vivid imagery that,
The uprisings will never cease
Until injustice ceases.
Go see it.

Messianic symbolism indeed, and an Old History Buff will heed your suggestion to Go See IT! To fully understand the historic context of Nat Turner's rebellion in the summer of 1831, Nat Turner's natural talents as a Baptist preached were used by his slave master Samuel Turner to staunch rumors of a widespread slave rebellion in the tobacco rich heart of Sothhampton County.
Nate Parker's 'Birth of a Nation' tells the cinematic version of the depravity that Turner witnessed as he was paraded from plantation to plantation to preach the 'Christian' message of submission to your masters, which only fueled his passion for blood and justice as the first to die was his master.
He eluded capture for two months never leaving Sothhampton County where blacks actually outnumbered whites and he was given shelter even as white militia indescriminately executed ove 120 blacks both free and slave to more than double the estimated 65 whites that met their death at the hands of Nat Turner;'s rebellion.
When asked before his hanging whether he regretted what he had done, his answer was both biblical and prophetic. "Was Christ not crucified?"

Dover [brit. ] ist eine englische Stadt mit dem wichtigsten englischen Hafen an der Straße von Dover am Ärmelkanal. Dover liegt in der Grafschaft Kent und ist Verwaltungssitz des gleichnamigen Distrikts.

Geographie
Dover liegt im äußersten Südosten Englands und ist die dem kontinentalen Festland und Frankreich am nächsten liegende englische Stadt. Die kürzeste Entfernung in der Straße von Dover von ca. 34 Kilometer wird zwischen South Foreland, nordöstlich von Dover, und dem Cap Gris-Nez nahe der französischen Hafenstadt Calais gemessen. Berühmt sind die Kreidefelsen von Dover. Die Römer führten den (wahrscheinlich vorkeltischen) Namen Albion für Britannien wegen der phonetischen Ähnlichkeit zu ihrem Wort albus für weiß irrigerweise auf die weißen Felsen zurück.

Geschichte
Da Dover die englische Stadt mit der geringsten Entfernung zum europäischen Festland ist, hatte sie schon seit Jahrhunderten eine hervorragende strategische Bedeutung.

Bronzezeit
1974 wurde der Langdon Bay Fund vor der Küste bei Dover entdeckt. Er enthielt Bronzeäxte französischer Machart und ist wahrscheinlich der Rest der Ladung eines untergegangenen Schiffes. Gleichzeitig macht dieser Fund aber auch deutlich, dass es schon in der Bronzezeit, oder sogar früher, Handelswege über den Kanal zwischen England und Frankreich gab. Im Jahre 1992 wurde in sechs Metern Wassertiefe das sogenannte Boot von Dover aus der Bronzezeit entdeckt. Es handelt sich dabei um einen der ältesten Funde eines seetüchtigen Bootes. Mittels der Radiocarbon-Untersuchungsmethode wurde das Jahr 1550 v. Chr. als Baujahr des Bootes ermittelt. Beide Funde sind im Dover Museum am Market Square ausgestellt.

Römerzeit
Zur Zeit der Römer war Dover ein wichtiger befestigter Hafen namens Portus Dubris. In Dover begann die römische Straße "Watling Street" (angelsächsisch: Wæcelinga Stræt), die quer durch Britannien führte. Die britannische Flotte der Römer (Classis Britannica) war ebenfalls in Dover stationiert und kontrollierte von dort aus die Meerenge.

Im Jahre 50 n. Chr. errichteten die Römer zwei Leuchttürme beidseitig der damals noch existierenden Flussmündung. Heutzutage sind Überreste davon einerseits auf den Western Heights zu finden und andererseits in den Grundmauern von Dover Castle, wo sie verbaut wurden. Das "Painted House" ist ein ehemaliges römisches Verwaltungsgebäude und eines der besterhaltenen römischen Gebäude in Großbritannien. Direkt daneben befindet sich der befestigte Hafen der römischen Flotte. Über beiden wurde in späteren Jahrhunderten ein Sachsenküstenkastell errichtet.

Angelsachsen und Normannen
Nach der Schlacht bei Hastings im Jahre 1066 marschierte Wilhelm der Eroberer mit seinen Truppen nach London zur Westminster Abbey, um dort gekrönt zu werden. Er nahm allerdings nicht den direkten Weg, sondern marschierte über Romney, Dover, Canterbury, Surrey und Berkshire. Dover gehörte federführend seit 1050 dem Bündnis "Cinque Ports" an, in dem sich die wichtigsten Seehäfen des Landes zusammengeschlossen hatten. Dies erweckte das Interesse des Eroberers. Der mittelalterliche Chronist William von Poitiers berichtet über den Marsch von Wilhelm auf Dover:

"Dann marschierte er nach Dover, von dem gesagt wurde, dass es unbesiegbar sei und von einer großen Anzahl von Soldaten gehalten wurde. Diese hatten allerdings große Angst als er sich näherte und sie vertrauten weder ihren Bastionen noch der Anzahl ihrer Truppen... Während sich die Einwohner auf eine bedingungslose Kapitulation einstellten, setzten (die Normannen) aus Beutegier die Burg in Brand und ein großer Teil stand sofort in Flammen... (William bezahlte für die Reparatur und) nahm die Burg in Besitz. Der Herzog blieb dann noch acht Tage im Ort, um neue Befestigungsanlagen bauen zu lassen."

Archäologische Forschungen haben ergeben, dass eine neue Burg in der Nähe der sächsischen Kirche St. Mary de Castro gebaut wurde, aus der sich dann das heutige Dover Castle entwickelte. Auf den Resten der prähistorischen Wälle wurden auf Anordnung von Heinrich II. 1168 mit den Bauarbeiten der Burg begonnen. 1180 entstand im Zentrum der Anlage der normannische Bergfried, der heute ein Museum beherbergt. Im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert wurden als weitere Sicherungsmaßnahmen zur Verstärkung wuchtige Ringanlagen angefügt.

Die Normannen bauten zwei Kirchen in Dover. Die Kirche St. Mary the Virgin (auf römischen Fundamenten) ist heute noch erhalten, während die Kirche St. James the Apostle im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört wurde. Sie stellten außerdem die Klosterkirche von St. Martin le Grand wieder her und gründeten ein neues Kloster, das St. Martin gewidmet wurde. Überreste dieses Klosters sind später beim Bau des Dover College umbaut worden.

Mittelalter
Im Zentrum der Stadt steht noch heute das 1203 von Hubert de Burgh erbaute Rathaus, das einst eine Pilgerherberge war. Im Jahre 1216 wurde Dover von den Franzosen angegriffen, konnte aber von Hubert de Burgh erfolgreich verteidigt werden. 1295 kam es zu einem erneuten Angriff von 10.000 französischen Soldaten, die die Stadt diesmal niederbrannten. Aufgrund ihrer handelsfördernden hervorragenden Lage blühte die Stadt schnell wieder auf.

Tudorzeit
In der Zeit Heinrich VIII. und Elisabeth I., die ständig in der Angst vor einer Invasion feindlicher Truppen leben mussten, wurden die Verteidigungsanlagen weiter verstärkt. Die Burg wurde befestigt und erhielt einen Burggraben.

Epoche der Stuarts
Während des englischen Bürgerkriegs schlug sich die Stadt Dover auf die Seite des Königs und wurde deshalb schließlich ohne Gegenwehr vom Parlamentsheer erobert. Der spätere König Charles II. landete bei seiner Rückkehr nach England aus dem Exil in Dover am 26. Mai 1670. Hier unterschrieb er auch den geheimen Friedensvertrag, der die Feindseligkeiten zwischen England und dem französischen König Ludwig XIV. beendete.

Napoleonische Kriege
In dieser Zeit wurde Dover eine stark befestigte Garnisonsstadt, da jederzeit mit einer Invasion von Napoleons Truppen gerechnet werden musste. Sie hatten sich zeitweise schon in der Stadt Boulogne versammelt und waren bei klarem Wetter von Dover aus zu sehen. Zunächst wurden Geschützbatterien in Erdhügeln entlang der Küstenlinie und den "Western Heights" ausgehoben. Sie sollten die Verteidigung der Burg unterstützen, die mittlerweile nicht mehr auf dem neusten Stand der Verteidigungstechnik war. 1804 wurden die "Western Heights" dann noch einmal massiv mit Steinbefestigungen ausgebaut, sodass dort zwei neue Forts mit Schützengräben entstanden. Zusätzlich entstand die "Grand Shaft", eine Treppe, die von den Forts auf dem Hügel hinunter zur Stadt führte, sodass schnell Truppen vom Hügel an die Küstenlinie gelangen konnten.

19. Jahrhundert
Zwischen 1801 und 1901 stieg die Bevölkerungszahl um das Sechsfache an. Der Hafen wurde mit zusätzlichen Molen ausgebaut; die Stadt wurde immer mehr zu einem Seebad. Es wurde ein Vergnügungspier und eine Eislauffläche errichtet. Badewagen für den Strand wurden angeschafft und an der Seeseite entstanden imposante Hotels und Appartements. Es wurde ein Eisenbahnanschluss geschaffen sowie der Fährverkehr mit dem Kontinent erweitert. Auf dem westlichen Pier befindet sich Admiralty Pier Turret (Koordinaten 51° 6′ 36″ N, 1° 19′ 12″). Ein gepanzerter Geschützturm von 1880 mit zwei gezogenen Vorderladerkanonen im Kaliber 16 inch (40,6 cm), die eine Reichweite von ca. 7 km besitzen. Jedes Geschütz wiegt ca. 80 t; dies sind die beiden größten Geschütze in Britannien. Die Armierung des Turret besteht aus Lagen von Schmiedeeisen und Holz, eine Verbundpanzerung Anno 1880. Aus der Geschützstellung wurden nur einige wenige Probeschüsse abgegeben. Im Jahr 1906 wurde die Stellung deaktiviert, Richtantriebe und Munitionsaufzüge später ausgebaut. Die Geschütze selbst sind noch schussfähig und befinden sich auf ihren Lafetten.

20. Jahrhundert

Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war Dover das Zentrum der englischen Kanalverteidigung im Ersten Weltkrieg. Die Stadt war zusammen mit Folkestone Haupteinschiffungshafen für die Truppen, die nach Frankreich verschifft wurden. Während des Krieges wurde die Stadt von Zeppelinen, Flugzeugen und vorbeifahrenden Kriegsschiffen bombardiert. Die erste Bombe, die auf England abgeworfen wurde, explodierte am Weihnachtsabend 1914 in der Nähe von Dover Castle. Die Einwohner mussten während dieser Zeit oft in Bunkern oder Höhlen Schutz suchen. Die Stadt wurde umgangssprachlich auch Fort Dover genannt und stand wegen der ständigen Bedrohung weitgehend unter Kriegsrecht. Am 27. Februar 1916 wurde zwei Meilen vor der Stadt der britische Passagierdampfer Maloja auf dem Weg von London nach Bombay von einem deutschen U-Boot versenkt. 155 Menschen kamen ums Leben; die Toten wurden zur Identifizierung in der Market Hall aufgereiht.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Stadt 3.059 Mal durch weitreichende Kanonen vom französischen Ufer aus beschossen. Dadurch wurden 216 Einwohner getötet und 10.056 Häuser beschädigt. Eine Vielzahl von Höhlen und Tunneln in den Kreidefelsen wurden als Schutzbunker benutzt. Während der Evakuierung von Dünkirchen (Operation Dynamo) befand sich in diesen Unterständen das militärische Hauptquartier der Evakuierung. Während des Krieges wurde die Stadt aufgrund ihrer Lage auch "Höllenfeuer Ecke" genannt.

Städtepartnerschaften
Dover ist Mitglied im Städtebund Cinque Ports (franz. Fünf Häfen), ein Städtebund in den Grafschaften Kent und Sussex. Ursprünglich wurde er als militärische und wirtschaftliche Allianz von fünf Hafenstädten am Ärmelkanal gegründet und war im Spätmittelalter eine einflussreiche politische Macht. Heute dient das Bündnis vorwiegend der wirtschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit der Hafenstädte Südostenglands.

Außerdem bestehen Städtepartnerschaften mit der auf französischer Seite des Ärmelkanals liegenden Stadt Calais und mit der kroatischen Hafenstadt Split.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur
Wegen seiner Nähe zum europäischen Festland ist der Fährhafen Dover einer der meist genutzten Häfen der englischen Küste. Vom Vereinigten Königreich setzen jährlich mehrere Millionen Menschen nach Frankreich über. Es gibt regelmäßige Fährverbindungen nach Calais und Dünkirchen. Die Eröffnung des Eurotunnels 1994 und das Ende der legendären Hovercraft-Verbindung nach Calais im Jahr 2000 haben die zentrale Rolle des Hafens vermindert.

Verkehr
Die A2/M2 verbindet Dovers Hafen für die Autofähren (Ship Ferry Vehicular Terminal an den Eastern Docks) mit Canterbury und London. Die M20 führt über Folkestone ebenfalls nach London. Die A258 führt zum benachbarten Deal und die A256 nach Sandwich.

Die Fährgesellschaften P&O Ferries und DFDS bedienen die Strecke von und nach Calais, LD Lines das französische Boulogne-sur-Mer sowie DFDS Dünkirchen.
Den Western Docks vorgelagert ist das Terminal für Kreuzfahrtschiffe (Cruise Liner Terminal).

Über den zentral, nahe der Ausfallstraße nach Folkestone gelegenen Bahnhof Dover Priory ist mit der Southeastern Railway (u. a. mit Halt an Canterbury East Station) direkt London Victoria Station zu erreichen. Bei der Rückfahrt werden manche Züge in Faversham geteilt. Für die Zeiten außerhalb der Verkehrsspitzen (off peak) gilt ein reduzierter Fahrpreistarif.
Mit der Bahn ist Dover ebenfalls an das Hochgeschwindigkeitsnetz von/zu den Bahnhöfen Ashford, Ebbsfleet International und St. Pancras (London) angeschlossen.

Der regionale Busverkehr wird von Stagecoach durchgeführt; nationale Verbindungen bietet National Express.

Zwei Fernwanderwege, der Saxon Shore Way sowie der North Downs Way, beginnen in Dover. Die Stadt ist gleichfalls dem nationalen Radwegnetz (National Cycle Network) angeschlossen.

Unless you have been headhunted, chances are your curriculum vitae (CV) will go through several 'shortlisting' stages before the real recruiter looks at it before you land that dream job.
These days, any job advert will attract several applicants. Due to the mundane nature of the recruitment process, several companies have outsourced the function.
Your CV risks being buried deep in a pile if you don't take effort to make it stand out. Be creative ways to make it easy to spot. Consider printing it on a colored hard paper, binding it and orsend your application by priority mail to the main contact person.
Get a copy of the advert and take time to study it. Customize your CV to meet the required minimums – qualifications and experience. My experience with most recruiting agents is they operate like robots. Any CV not showing the required minimums is automatically disqualified. So, avoid using the same CV to apply for different jobs. Take your time to fine tune your CV to the requirements of each job. You are advised to have one or two people review it.
If there is a phone number in the advert, callit. For example, ask to speak to the Head of Marketing, if the vacancy is in a marketing department. Someone will expect your CV and be on its lookout from the pack.
Your CV has high chances of being shortlisted for the next stage if the stated minimum requirements are well stated and visible to the reviewer. Below is a typical shortlist summary table. The required minimums are in the columns. A lower level staff will review go through all applicant CVs and update the shortlist table pre-approved by a supervisor.
In the table above, the first stages in the selection process are about picking candidates that meet the minimum requirements as stated by the employer. Any CV which does not meet the minimum requirements is set aside. Note that there is limited supervisory review at this stage. To proceed, your CV must error on showing the minimum qualifications.The employer is worried of hiring a person who does not meet the required minimums. Clearly state how you meet the minimum requirements on the first page of your CV.
Depending on the job and the number of applicants, you may be invited for an aptitude test. Most aptitude tests are predictable and you could easily get a perfect score if you use Google.com and the Internet well.
The next phase is a review by a senior manager. This is a folk who knows the needs of the company well and the kind of person they looking for. For your CV to get past this stage, you must show maturity and relevance to the job. If the position is a middle level one, you could explain a time you managed a project or a department, the initial challenges you encountered in regard to top management commitment to the initiative, and how you got around the problem. Find two to three 90-words personal experiences you can share. Don't disclose too much!
After this stage, the shortlist will have three to six candidates only. Another senior person may review the CVs to reduce the number to three. You may then be invited for a face-to-face interview with one person or a panel of three people depending on the level of the job.
Employers fear hiring a person who won't do the job due to lack of necessary experience and skills. They want to avoid recruiting someone who is sickly or won't fit in the team quickly. Go show them why you are the best candidate. They need a motivated person who will stay around for a long time.

Watch Blood Orange Navigate His New York in New 'Augustine' Video
Julianne Escobedo Shepherd
Blood Orange's Dev Hynes sometimes seems suspended in an alternate dimension where it's perpetually the summer of 1986, whether it's his thrifted cool dad wardrobe or his aspirations toward the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
But with "Augustine" (from Freetown Sound, released today), he seems to be taking the most impressionistic elements of these impulses and transmogrifying them into identity issues very much relevant to today. He stops in Miss Lily's, the Jamaican spot in Soho with a radio broadcast in its storefront, and sits with dancers lazily gesturing towards old-way voguing (the first and simplest wave) in what looks to be Washington Square Park, all interspersed with shots of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Time's Trayvon cover and an anthology called Black Queer Studies.
Musically, he's flipping stations between influences, too; the jazz intro recalls the pacing of Soho's "Hot Music," one of the most iconic New York house songs ever made, or perhaps the scratchy tape recordings of Arthur Russell, as his sweet and plaintive voice spreads out from a whisper into a proscenium of harmonies and freedom, his rooftop twirls a celebration of his ability to just be. It's almost sacred in its easy intensity, the way he sounds utterly open when he sings, "We waited here for you."
In a recent Times piece, Hynes spoke about the way he interacts with New York and uses it as inspiration; perhaps believing in the mythology of it is what preserves the feeling of another time. "A lot of the music I make, it's music for me to listen to on headphones to soundtrack me just walking around," he said. "I get moods walking down streets that I think sound good in a certain way." Maybe that's how we should listen to this album, too.

IAEA-Iran Talks: Three Things to Know
Explainer Video by Michael Levi, Speaker
June 7, 2012 3:41 pm (EST)
from Video
Nonproliferation, Arms Control, and Disarmament
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on June 8 will hold a new round of talks with Iranian negotiators over the country's controversial nuclear program. CFR's Michael A. Levi highlights three things to know about the negotiations:

Iran's Parchin Military Complex – The key focus of discussions between Iran and the IAEA will be on whether Iran provides nuclear inspectors with access to the military site, suspected of being used to develop parts of a nuclear weapon, Levi says. "Iran has stalled for several months on access to the site," he says. "The IAEA would still like to go there, and there will still be controversy over it."
Iran's continuing uranium enrichment – There is evidence that Iran has been enriching uranium to relatively higher levels of about 20 percent, and in more fortified locations, Levi says. "The focus of broader diplomacy in particular is on this higher level enrichment and this enrichment that might be beyond the reach of Western military strikes," he says.
P5+1 negotiations – The results of the negotiations between Iran and the IAEA will play into talks on June 18-19 between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, and France) and Germany, known collectively as the P5+1, Levi says. It's important to watch how these "world powers position themselves to take advantage of whatever outcome there is to the Iran-IAEA talks," he says.

Study reveals changes in cholesterol levels in cell membrane
Researchers at Kyoto University have learned new information on Cells
Representative ImageReuters
KYOTO : Despite its unfavourable reputation as a health risk when its blood levels are too high, cholesterol is a crucial part of the membrane that surrounds every human cell. The proper quantity of cholesterol in the right areas is the secret to good health. Assuring proper levels is referred to as cholesterol homeostasis.
Researchers at Kyoto University in Japan's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Science (iCeMS) have learned new information on how cells maintain cholesterol homeostasis within the cell membrane.
The findings are published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Cholesterol molecules are packed inside the cell membrane at levels that control membrane fluidity, thickness and flexibility. These characteristics are vital for making the membrane a selective semi-permeable barrier, with crucial control over what substances can travel into and out of cells.
"Disturbances in cholesterol homeostasis can lead to some serious diseases, but it has been unclear how cells detect and respond to changes in cholesterol levels in the cell membrane," says iCeMS cellular biochemist Kazumitsu Ueda.
Ueda and his colleague Fumihiko Ogasawara have now revealed a vital role of two proteins in maintaining an appropriate distribution of cholesterol inside cells and their membranes.
The first protein, called ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) translocates cholesterol within the membrane. The cell membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer, with inner and outer layers of fatty molecules (phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids) oriented in opposite directions. A key new insight reported in this current study is that the ABCA1 protein controls the transfer of cholesterol molecules from the inner layer to the outer layer. The researchers call this process 'cholesterol flopping'. Their previous work explored this protein's role in facilitating cholesterol transfer through the bloodstream in the form of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), sometimes called good cholesterol.
Ueda and Ogasawara also uncovered details of how a second protein – cholesterol transfer protein Aster-A – acts cooperatively with ABCA1 to maintain the crucial asymmetric distribution of cholesterol, with more cholesterol in the outer layer of the cell membrane than the inner. Aster-A is located inside the cell embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum. When there is an increase in the cholesterol level in the inner layer of the cell membrane, Aster-A forms a bridge transferring cholesterol from the cell membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum.
The researchers describe how the asymmetric distribution of cholesterol in the membrane allows it to serve a signalling function, influencing other cellular processes in ways that depend on the degree of asymmetry. They suggest that this explains why defects in the normal functioning of ABCA1 can cause faulty molecular signaling that may lead to cancer and autoimmune diseases.
"The progress we have made needs to be built on to better understand all the implications of these cholesterol homeostasis processes in both health and disease," Ueda concludes. He hopes this may eventually open new avenues to treating diseases linked to cholesterol imbalance.

Could a change to our business offering help your brand get more from your marketing efforts?
Did you know that there are 5.7 million businesses in the UK? This number has grown by over a million since 2010; two million since the turn of the century.
Of those businesses, 98% employ fewer than 50 people – 96% fewer than 10. This number is rising 5%, on average, year on year. With so much competition in the small and micro-business arena, it's no wonder that demand on the digital marketing agency sector is at an all time high.
In fact, the UK now has over 25,000 business within the 'agency' category; ranging from freelance web designers up to some of the world's largest advertising and full-service consultancies.
Outside of the massive top London agencies, however, there are surprisingly few small, local digital marketing agencies offering a wide range of relationship and product marketing solutions alongside a full creative design service.
Sure, there are a lot of 'design and marketing agencies', per se; but most tend to offer the kinds of marketing services that go hand in hand with web design, such as SEO, PPC and paid advertising.
For the last 10 years, Prismatic Design Solutions has been operating solely as a creative design studio. Under the leadership of Creative Director, Jim Hine, Prismatic has built a fantastic portfolio of design work for many happy clients.
In the last few years, however, a shift has been recognised. This shift has come from the rise of micro-businesses that need marketing support, as well as design, in order to compete effectively in their markets.
Having few employees, they often don't have the resource to deal with more than one agency in order to get their varied campaign requirements sorted. Their time is precious and they need a company that can handle all of their marketing requirements, without the hefty rates associated with a large digital marketing agency. They also want to know who they are dealing with, and who will be doing their work.
Also, the desire to 'shop local' has never been stronger in the UK, and this has resonated through to agency services. Even in this age of video and web conferencing, a quick meeting with a familiar face is far more preferable.
For these reasons, we are ecstatic to announce that Prismatic Design Solutions is expanding to become Prismatic Design & Marketing Solutions.
Experienced marketer, Nicola Webster has joined the team as our brand new Marketing Director. Nicola brings a wealth of marketing knowhow to the company, having spent over 12 years as a Product Marketing Manager in marketing departments within B2B2B and B2B2C organisations.
Having worked for large corporates, and small start-ups (plus other sizes in between), she is skilled at adapting to the correct tone and approach for a company's content. Her analytical skills, coupled with a passion for research, means she is also perfectly placed to quickly come to grips with new markets and new technologies, which makes her the perfect fit for an digital marketing agency setting.
She's also a good laugh which is essential in this line of work!
Nicola will also be responsible for making sure that our own resource centre is kept up to date with relevant and useful content.
In short, we feel that she is going to be a great asset to our lovely clients and we very much look forward to welcoming her on board.
Do you need the services of a digital marketing agency?
We'd love to hear from you if you want to discuss the marketing requirements for your business. We are passionate about what we do, and we want to help your brand achieve its goals. If you want to work with a digital marketing agency that genuinely cares about your business, please get in touch.

Photo Story | Atlantic Canada, Sable Island and Gulf of Saint Lawrence
Five Dishes You've Gotta Try from Tadoussac to Bonavista
By Alison Bell, Lori McCarthy, and Alexandra Blagdon | December 19, 2020
Related expeditions: Mighty Saint Lawrence, Atlantic Canada Explorer, and Newfoundland Circumnavigation
Gastronomic delights are a highlight of our Atlantic Canada expeditions and the Adventure Canada Taste of Place culinary program. From tourtière in Québec to moose stew in Newfoundland, these are five dishes (and beverage pairings!) that you shouldn't miss in this tasty region of the world.
Tourtière: More than a Special Occasion Treat
An iconic Québecois dish served on Christmas Eve, tourtière has a rich and flavourful history. Some food historians claim that a version of this savoury meat pie dates back to a fifth century French pastry, filled with the meat of the "tourte" or passenger pigeon. Others insist tourtière made with wild game dates back to 1700s New France.
Today, tourtière is usually made with a filling of ground beef, veal, and pork, as well as potatoes, onion, savoury, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon, all tucked between two deliciously flakey blankets of pastry. Green tomato relish, traditionally served alongside tourtière, is the perfect foil for its richness. Gravy and ketchup are also popular modern-day accoutrements. But, don't wait until Christmas Eve—tourtière is too delicious to eat only once a year!
The Perfect Pairing:
Before you walk into that charming Québecois café with the scrumptious tourtière in the window, make sure they have the perfect pairing: a full-bodied pinot noir. Choose a pinot noir that has those light notes of star anise, ripe fruit, and dark cherries to complement the rich meat pie.

East Coast Moules-Frites: Darlings of the Sea and Soil
Sustainably farmed and Ocean Wise-certified, Prince Edward Island blue mussels are steamed over open fires at the beach, eaten around kitchen tables, and featured on restaurant menus all around Canada's beloved island province. The demand for mussels has skyrocketed in recent years, making P.E.I. the largest producer of cultured mussels in North America, highly sought after by Canadian chefs.
Cultivated in longline nets in the clean, cool meroir of the island's inlets and bays, P.E.I. mussels are plump and sweet and easy to prepare. While the possibilities are endless, we sure love a steaming bowl of mussels bathed in a garlicky, white wine broth with a side of crispy, thin frites; marrying P.E.I's darling of the sea with her darling of the soil.
White wine not only in the broth—but to pair with the dish—is a match made in heaven. What's the best white wine for the job? The white wine that you've used to cook the mussels of course!

Sturgeon Caviar: A Good News Story
It's not often you hear a good news story about species extinction, so when we learned of the revival of two sturgeon species, we definitely danced a jig. This prehistoric fish has changed little in the past 200 million years, but it sure has a storied past. Fished heavily in North America in the 1880s, its caviar was so plentiful that tavern keepers comped dishes of the salty salver to keep their patrons thirsting for more beer. Atlantic caviar shipped to Europe in the early 1900s gained a regal reputation, fetching an enormous sum and bringing the mighty sturgeon to the brink of extinction.
Fast forward about a hundred years and you'll find both Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon species making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of Acadian Sturgeon and Caviar Inc. and their Ocean Wise-certified sustainable wild sturgeon fishery in New Brunswick. The good news: the savoury meat and rich roe of the sturgeon are making a healthy comeback. The bad: don't expect a freebie the next time you pop into your local pub any time soon!
A rich fish like this deserves a strong cocktail to pair, with champagne to celebrate, and citrus to tie it all together: a French 75.
1 oz. gin
1⁄2 oz. simple syrup
1⁄2 oz. lemon juice
(shaken over ice)
Top it off with champagne and enjoy!
Atlantic Lobster: Food for Thought
At one time, when lobster sandwiches were sent to school in a child's lunchbox, they were seen as punishment, not prize. Why? Lobster was considered "poor man's food." Yet simultaneously, Atlantic lobster held star status at posh restaurants everywhere, with diners tucking into high priced classics like lobster thermador. More recently, the humble lobster was at the centre of a legal contradiction when Nova Scotia provincial law forbade Mi'kmaw lobster harvesters to sell their catch—while their treaty rights, established in the 1700s and affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1999, permitted them to legally trap those same lobsters for a moderate livelihood.
Atlantic lobster is Canada's most lucrative seafood and the Maritime provinces' most valuable tourist draw, attracting thousands of visitors every year to feast on its sweet, succulent meat. Whatever side of the proverbial lobster coin you are on, one thing is for sure: there's nothing like a lobster roll washed down with a cold beer in the salty Atlantic breeze.
Whether in a bottle, pint, or can, you want that beer to be cold, crisp, and filled with citrus. First pick would be a citrus-forward IPA. Next up could be a citrusy blonde. And as a last (but still delicious!) resort, try a saison brew.

Moose Stew: A Gastronomical Rite of Passage
The annual moose hunt in Newfoundland is about more than just getting meat for the winter. It's about time spent with fellow hunters, family, and friends passing on tradition, culture, and craft—and cultivating the next generation of hunters. Traditionally the meat is ground, turned into sausages, cut into steaks and roasts, or even bottled. (Yes, that's one huge bottle, or many, many small ones!) The preserved bottled moose finds itself heated over the fire in the woods during rabbit hunting season and made into delicious stews for the family table. Served up with lots of thickly sliced homemade bread slathered with butter, it's a taste of home and a treasured meal.
In recent years in the Newfoundland culinary scene, this beautiful wild game has risen to great heights. The province allows the meat to be prepared and served in restaurants under strict regulations, taking it from subsistence eating to culinary centre stage. Today you can find it turned into dry-cured bresaola, delicious ragu, ravioli, carpaccio, and tartar—a taste of the old made new.
Wild game, rich dumplings, root vegetables—in many ways, moose stew is like the Newfoundland version of a beef bourguignon. So what do you pair with a bourguignon? You know: a deep, luscious Bordeaux. Those left bank of Bordeaux notes will deepen the flavours of the stew and elevate any of its hidden flavours.

Andy Bowdoin, have you no shame? Once again your closest followers and insiders are asking rank-and-file members to believe you are acting in their interests. They do this after you turned to the membership in August and asked for letters of support while not sharing details members needed to make informed decisions.
The membership delivered more than 3,000 letters. And then the lies were exposed, and they looked like fools for having lent their voices to this awful chorus. Andy Bowdoin should be held accountable for that. So should the followers and insiders who are helping him cloud the issues.
Members should ask Bowdoin why he was running an ad for a failed, dissolved business in his own rotator. And they should ask why Bowdoin was paying an employee to surf for his son. They also should ask why a police report never was filed when Russian hackers purportedly stole $1 million from ASD — and why a police report wasn't filed when others purportedly stole money from the firm.
Those questions are just for starters, of course. There are lots of suspicious financial transactions involving family members and insiders.
Some of those pulling strings are doing it because they have financial exposure; some are doing it because they have criminal exposure, and some are doing it for both reasons. Even so, some are almost catastrophically ignorant of the danger they are in. The information is being disseminated by crackpots and filtered through crackpots. Much of it is self-validating drivel, the stuff from which indictments are made.
If you're an AdSurfDaily member, you'll serve yourself ill if you attach any importance to any of today's self-filed legal pleadings by Andy Bowdoin or if you listen to anything the closest followers and insiders have to say. You got hoodwinked the first time. Don't let it happen again.
Think of his principal cheerleaders and major promoters as potential co-defendants in both civil and criminal prosecutions. Ask yourself if you're being asked to provide cover for criminals before you invest in any of this, including the writing of letters to politicians.
Bowdoin does not dispute a single fact in today's filings. All three documents offer technical challenges to the forfeiture actions. The documents paint Bowdoin the victim of a police state despite the fact he hasn't been arrested or incarcerated. It is a subdued rant against a perceived police state. Nothing more.
Any person who tells you that Americans are free to sign contracts and engage in commerce for any purpose that pleases them is a crackpot. If this were the case, drug dealers and customers could escape prosecution simply by agreeing not to call a crime a crime.
The documents appear to have been written by someone who wishes the case were a criminal indictment, not a civil forfeiture proceeding. The person may get his wish soon enough. Prosecutors wouldn't have to use a word Bowdoin said in the presence of any Secret Service agent to bring an indictment or get a conviction.
Bowdoin also appears to be confused about his own case — something that's not surprising, considering he once told members that Ponzi charges had been dropped against him in Florida when they had never been brought to begin with.
In his current pleadings, Bowdoin appears to be claiming he submitted to forfeiture under duress. But he never submitted to the forfeiture of the money and property he points to in today's pleadings. He has submitted only to the forfeiture of money and property seized in August, not December, and Bowdoin appears to be trying to have the December forfeiture reversed while not mentioning the August forfeiture or providing corresponding dates when specific actions took place. At present, the documents appear to show that Bowdoin isn't challenging the August seizure of $93.5 million and other property, including two homes.
Members should ask him about that. They need to know if he is challenging the August seizure. They need to know precisely why he appears only to be challenging the seizure of property linked to his family members and Golden Panda President Clarence Busby.
Earlier Bowdoin had competent attorneys from a prominent law firm. He also paid $24,000 to retain an expert witness. All of these people went to real law schools and are members of the bar.
Neither the attorneys nor the expert could score a win for ASD at the Sept. 30-Oct. 1. evidentiary hearing that ASD itself requested. Bowdoin could have scored his own win by producing documents and audited financial statements that demonstrated ASD was not a Ponzi scheme. He didn't do it. Not only did he not do it, he didn't even do what his attorneys asked him to do, namely submit documentation to them to aid in the preparation of his case in the forfeiture matter.
And now he's doing what Andy Bowdoin does: playing the victim and creating hope where none exists. He did largely the same thing when he was accused of a huge fraud in Alabama a decade ago.
You see, the whole, ugly mess in Alabama that resulted in felony charges being filed against Bowdoin was not his fault.
Bowdoin told the St. Petersburg Times that "he ran into trouble in Alabama because his company, Mobile International, sought to raise $1-million through a stock issue, and someone was improperly paid a commission to sell the stock," according to the newpaper.
"That nullified the registrations that our attorney had done with the state of Alabama," he said.
Bowdoin did not explain why he pleaded guilty to felonies if he had done nothing wrong and how one couple got hoodwinked out of $450,000. Bowdoin and his cronies bought expensive cars and expensive office trimmings with the money.
World-class crackpots are pulling Bowdoin's strings now. Don't be surprised if he gets indicted soon and takes a haf-dozen or more people down with him. An alleged $100 million Ponzi scheme is still extraordinary, despite its seeming smallness when compared to Bernard Madoff.
The government should leave no stone unturned in its investigation into Bowdoin's actions. On Aug. 18, Bowdoin filed an emergency motion that asked the court to free up money so ASD could operate post-seizure.
Bowdoin did not advise the court from which it sought emergency relief in the Aug. 18 brief that ASD had more than $1 million on deposit in a bank in Antigua. Instead Bowdoin told the court that ASD couldn't pay its bills.
Only after prosecutors pointed to the Antigua money on Aug. 25 did Bowdoin acknowledge its existence in court briefs. He declared an emergency despite the fact ASD had more than $1 million offshore — in an account under a different name — and he didn't tell members about the Antigua money until prosecutors raised the issue.
At first, part of the circus surrounding ASD was mildly amusing, despite the fact a $100 million, international Ponzi scheme is very serious business. But all the air is out of the balloon now, and the government should pursue justice that is equivalent with crimes being committed right in plain sight.
This is not a comedy; it is a tragedy.
Here's hoping the Akerman firm is preparing a defamation lawsuit against Andy. After all, he accused them of actions so egregious they deserve to be disbarred. Nah, they won't bother. I bet there were a lot of champagne corks poppin down in Miami, when Andy "fired" them for incompetence.
I've thought that Bowdoin's lack of forthrightness to his attorneys put Akerman Senterfitt in a box.
On Aug. 18, for example, the lawyers filed the emergency motion for relief, citing ASD's dire financial condition.
But on Aug. 25, the prosecution revealed ASD had more than $1 million in Antigua — money that had not been seized. I have my doubts that Bowdoin told the firm about the money. The lawyers could have been caught completely off guard by the prosecution's revelation, and then had to spin things furiously to try to make the damage Bowdoin caused his own case to go away.
Imagine having argued that your client can't pay the hosting bill or pay his wife rent for the flower shop — and then discovering that he has $1 million tucked away on an island nation known as a haven for money-launderers. His lawyers rightly could have been furious.
It's possible — and this is a guess — that the prosecution anticipated some bizarre legal developments in December, with the filing of the second forfeiture complaint.
The Dec. 19 documment pointedly states that no one from Akerman Senterfitt EVER told ASD during its operation that it was operating legally. The document also pointedly states that the firm was waiting for Bowdoin to send documents prior to the seizure — and that Bowdoin didn't send the documents.
You might be right: Akerman Senterfitt might have jumped for joy when the relationship with Bowdoin ended. He was a loose cannon.
Now, Surf's Up is describing it as David Vs. Goliath, with Andy as David and the wicked government as Goliath, with some people blaming Bowdoin's lawyers for the pickle he is in.
I like the David vs. Goliath thing, but people need to remember that the reason the phrase exists to begin with is because Goliath wins often enough to be notable 3,000 years later when he lost.
I noticed that Andy was acting as his own process server. Wonder if he can do that in Florida? I know some states require it be a different person, and the signatures notarized. Since this is a federal case, not sure what their rules are. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the judge threw it out for lack of proper service!
Since Andy wants to have criminal charges filed against him, maybe now is a good time for the US Attorney to release the sealed indictments and give him his wish. Now that would really T-off the faithful and take the wind out of their sails.

The parent company to brands like The North Face and Vans announced second quarter earnings above analyst projections on Monday. VF Corp. reported second quarter revenue increased approximately 2 percent to $2.4 billion, which beat analysts' predictions of revenue around $2.3 billion.
VF's Outdoor and Action Sports group, which includes Timberland, The North Face and Vans, saw revenue increase 4 percent. Vans brand revenue increased 8 percent, while The North Face grew 5 percent. VF's international revenue increased 4 percent, with 13 percent growth in China. Direct-to-consumer revenue also grew 13 percent, while digital revenue grew an impressive 34 percent.
However, earnings per share from continuing operations dropped 11 percent to $0.29, compared to $0.32 during the same time last year. This year's earnings per share are now expected to be $2.94, which includes a $40 million, or 8 cents per share, impact from additional investments to fuel accelerated growth.
VF expects to return more than $1.8 billion to shareholders this year, through share repurchases and dividends, up from the previous outlook of $1.6 billion.
"VF's second quarter results were solid and consistent with our expectations, driven by strong results from our largest global brands, the company's international and direct-to-consumer platforms, and our growing workwear businesses," said VF President and CEO Steve Rendle. "We have really good momentum as we move into the second half of 2017 and are confident in our growth engines, as evidenced by an increase in our full year outlook and our plan to increase our cash returns to shareholders."
Rendle went on to say that based on the strong first half of 2017, VF Corp. will focus on growth-focused investments within its largest brands and platforms in an effort to create more near and long term value for shareholders.
VF also announced the retirement of Chairman Eric C. Wiseman after more than 20 years with the company in various leadership roles. After Wiseman's retirement this October, Rendle will take over the role of Chairman.

Home>Pathway showcases work during Dietitians Week
Pathway showcases work during Dietitians Week
Dietitians here at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) play a valuable role not only offering advice to patients but working with colleagues to ensure the best outcome for all.
Dietitians Week runs until Friday 24 June and here at SaTH we have 25 dietitians and there are various specialities including paediatrics, Macmillan, community, acute and bariatric surgery.
We have been talking to two of our Dietitians – Marie Trahearn and Vivienne Love (both pictured above) – about their roles and how they have joined together to create a pathway to help our patients, which is already seeing results.
The pathway means that renal patients follow an 18-month programme to help them with weight loss so that they can go on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.
Marie is Clinical Lead Renal Dietitian and she and other colleagues in the department see patients who have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) as well as patients on dialysis in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. They educate patients on making changes to their diet to help stabilise their bloods and offer nutrition support to patients who are struggling with their eating and drinking due to the symptoms of their kidney failure or side effects of their treatment.
Vivienne Love is an Eating Behaviour Dietitian, Tier 3 Dietetic Lead and Functional Imagery Practitioner. She supports people to understand their eating behaviour in order to lose weight and those that she helps have a BMI of about 40.
She advises them on weight loss to improve their health and quality of life and for some patients to prepare them for bariatic surgery. Their teams work at clinics in the community, at the hospital and there are also group sessions.
Hayley Flavell, Director of Nursing at SaTH, said: "Dietitians Week is an ideal time to showcase the wonderful work of our dietitians at our Trust. Marie, Vivienne and their teams are passionate about their roles and put patients at the core of everything they do.
"By the teams working together and also with other system partners this pathway can develop and help not only those hoping to get on the kidney transplant list but also as a preventative measure."
Both Marie and Vivienne started as students in the department in 2009. They later specialised in their areas of mental health and renal. They both gained experience in other Trusts and Vivienne returned to SaTH in 2020 and Marie last year as clinical leads in their chosen specialisms of Tier 3 Weight Management and Renal.
Marie said: "We have since had the opportunity to work together as we were trainee supervisors overseeing trainee timetables and working together so closely for trainees also gave us opportunity to reflect how our services could collaborate in future."
While chatting over a coffee, the pair realised they could work even closer together with Vivienne's specialist weight management service working with renal patients on weight loss so they could get on the kidney transplant list, as they need to be at a certain BMI.
Marie said: "Losing weight pre-transplant surgery reduces the risks of surgical complications and improved outcomes post-transplant."
They now work with specialist renal transplant nurses and renal consultants and have also linked up with local authority healthy lifestyle teams and social prescribing teams to not only help those hoping to get on the kidney transplant list but as a preventative measure to offer support others before their kidney function deteriorates. Renal patients can now be referred via the GP into this service.
Marie said about her role: "You get to know patients and their families very well as they are generally within the service for a long time and it is rewarding when you can see them making improvements or we can provide support care."
Vivienne said: "I enjoy watching patients reach the goal that they have set and patients will often say 'they are getting their lives back' and they can do the things they want to do without their weight holding them back."
Look out on our social media channels to find out about Dietitians Week.
