How to Survive a Sore Throat
A sore throat can make swallowing, eating and drinking uncomfortable if not downright painful. Although a sore throat is a common ailment, especially it seems during these winter months, it's important to know how to treat it and when to see a physician.
What is a sore throat?
A sore throat is pain, irritation and scratchiness of the throat that is caused by a virus, usually the same virus that causes colds and flu. A sore throat can also make the throat feel swollen and make it difficult to eat or drink.
Some Symptoms of a Sore Throat
- Scratchiness and pain in the throat
- Trouble swallowing
- Sore glands on either side of the throat
- Trouble talking, pain increases with talking
In most cases, a sore throat will resolve itself over the course of a few days or at the most, a week.

Driving Miss Daisy
Sept. 6 – Sept. 23, 2018
by Alfred Uhry
This classic play focuses on elderly Jewish matron, Daisy Werthan, and her chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn, in mid-century Atlanta. At first, Daisy is none too happy about being forced to rely on a black man to get from one place to the next. Gradually, however, Hoke wins her over, and during the 25-year span of the play, the two develop a deep-rooted affection and mutual respect grounded in their own independence, strength, and stubborn integrity. This Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece is a delicate depiction of racial tensions, the passage of time, and the experience of aging.

Somewhere in our city still exist many unhappiness people in the dark small street, on some lavish and majestic roads, in the sewers, tunnel even the roads with chaos of life and something like that. There are the people within deep eyes and little dreams for a peaceful life where can shade rainy and sunny day.... For not picked up many piece of cake from ground or in garbage gab inside street.
For beloved ones…
However, all this little dreams, it seem to be far away with all unhappiness people. With the strong spirit and the deep love from bottom of our heart, HoanChau would like to do some activities for sharing diffilculty and sorrow. We would like to bring a little joy for the poor, the unfortunate and the miserable on this Mid-Autum Festival.
HoanChau really hope to receive all your contribution no matter how or what it is (spirit or any material). We promise that all of your great gifts will be well delivered to all people need helping.

It used to be when I'd listen to the politicians and governors discussing all the obstacles to progress, I'd think to myself – "Wow, it's really not that complicated."
I was wrong – many problems are complex. No fair calling a problem simple if it's not.
But there's always a simple solution.
And as a bonus that simple solution is both easy to do and easy to sell to the rest of the folks.
Go simple – you'll be glad later.

I Launched
I did. I just re-launched a new site this past week.
There was no fanfare or hoopla. Just a bunch of hard work and coffee. It was definitely the most intensive overhaul I have done yet since I first published this website back in 2009ish. And one that I've been proud to put my name to.
There is a blog post coming after this one where I can provide a bit more detail and behind-the-scenes insight. From the new logo, to the colors, and new direction.
But enough about me. Let's talk about you.
You Launched.
For this post, I want to speak directly to you – Mr./Mz. Small Business Owner – who has just launched your new venture.
First of all, Let me say, "Congratulations!"
What you have done is no small feat. You are one of the few who is actually in the arena, one who knows about the blood, sweat, tears, courage, guts, and sacrifice that it took just to get your dreams off the ground and out into the wild, blue reality. And there's more of that up ahead, so hang in there, persevere, and enjoy the ride.
I have just one question. Why don't you have a website?
I don't get it? The odds are already stacked against your survival right out of the starting blocks, with fierce competition nipping at your heels. The technology to market your company in this digital age of commerce is literally at your fingertips with smartphones, the mobile web, and apps.
Your competitors have a website.
The mobile web, by the way, is where your customers are hanging out. Your competitors know this, too. And they probably have a website that is optimized for mobile, maybe even an app, making it easier to find your customers and talk with them.
And yet you choose to remain in the dark. Why?
You have a bunch of excuses.
Oh, I've personally heard many of the reasons. Excuses, really. But let's be honest for a moment, none of them are unique and most are very weak arguments.
Just to be clear, renting space on someone else's website doesn't count either. It is still someone else's site, and they are reaping the benefits from your being there. It may even be the entire reason for their success. I'm not saying that being a part of someone else's online community is bad, just don't make it your home. Get your own house.
You are not alone.
I know that you are not alone here. There is a whole tribe of you out there, homeless and squatting on other people's web properties.
I just finished reading the survey results that GoDaddy and Clutch.co recently published and was somewhat stunned to realize just how many small businesses – very small businesses – in the US still do not have a website.
I see no good reasons or excuses for that.
Ready to Launch – again?
You have to do this. Seriously.
You need to move into your own digital domain.
Let's do this.
I want to help.
It's not very hard, doesn't have to be expensive, and there is a ton of help out there. After launching my own redesigned and rebranded site on Wednesday, I spent all day on Thursday with a couple thousand other Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs, talking and hearing about big ideas, problems, and solutions. Sharing my experiences, expertise, and information. Handing out business cards.
Want to guess the same two questions that were repeated with each person I interacted with? That's right…
- Do you have a business card?
- Do you have a website?
So once more I ask…

As you move forward with divorce, there are many details that can cause stress and frustration.
Divorced parents may find it easier to relocate
Thanks to a recent decision by the Tennessee Supreme Court, divorced parents may find it easier to move out of state with a child (or children), even if the other parent objects to the move.
Getting divorced later in life? Follow these financial tips.
Divorce among couples aged 50 and over is becoming increasingly popular. According to the Pew Research Center, the divorce rate for these couples has increased 109 percent in the last 25 years. The reasons for these "gray divorces" are varied. For one thing, people are simply living longer. When empty nesters are confronted with the possibility of living another 30 to 40 more years with a spouse they no longer have much in common with, divorce may seem like a better option. Furthermore, there's no longer the same negative connotation assigned to divorce that there once was.
The finer details of sole custody
As you go through the divorce process, you may have some questions about child custody. For example, you may be familiar with the term "sole custody." Even so, there is more to this than meets the eye.
Social media, divorce and the impact
In today's day and age, it's easier than ever to track a person's digital paper trail. This is often associated with social media use, such as Twitter and Facebook.
How is the amount of child support calculated in Tennessee?
Do you live in the state of Tennessee? Do you have reason to believe that you are entitled to receive child support? Do you have reason to believe that you will have to pay child support in the future?

Four years ago FICRA, along with the J Shed artists and Fremantle Roundhouse Volunteer Guides commenced the opposition to the development of a massive tavern for 400-800 people on Arthur Head at J Shed by Sunset Venues PTY LTD.
Two years ago the City awarded Sunset a 21 year lease for Unit 1 and Sunset then engaged in a temporary activation of this site over October 2015 – April 2016.
In September 2016 the WA Planning Commission rejected the Sunset Events development application.
Sunset Events have not undertaken any further activation of Unit 1 since April 2016. The commencement date of the 21 year lease is July 1st and Sunset are required to fill the lease performance obligations and pay rent from this date.
However Sunset has now applied for a one year delay in the commencement of their obligations under the lease.
FICRA has responded to this application to the City in the attached submission which has been sent to the Mayor and other members of the 'Finance Policy Operations and Legislation Committee' ([download id="57″]).
This matter was considered by the Committee on Wednesday, June 14 and FICRA was there representing residents. The matter is to be decided upon by full council at the end of June.

Jalan Gasing
Petaling Jaya
It was a blistering day yesterday and my colleagues and I had actually wanted to go for the Ipoh Taugeh Chicken in Jalan Gasing. However, we had a last-minute change of mind after the horrendous jam along that stretch and there definitely was no parking space available there.
So, we decided to turn into Raju Restaurant - no traffic jam and parking space available there. We chose to sit at the al fresco area, under shady trees and giant mist fans and less cooking smoke there! We didnt want to smell like indian food later!
Once we sat down, banana leaves, rice, vegetables & curry appeared on our table. We had also ordered fried Ikan Bulus (RM5 per fish), Ikan Tenggiri (RM4 per piece), Sotong (RM7), Chicken Gizzards (RM0.50 per piece) and Chicken (RM4.50).
Generally, the fried stuff were OK although my colleagues commented the Chicken was a bit tasteless - it wasn't fried till "garing" - it was in fact, a little under-fried.
The fried Sotong was good as it had been very well marinated and there were also pieces of fried onion rings with it.
The waiters went around with trays where plates of various kinds of curried dishes were offered. We chose the Mutton Varuval (RM8). It was more spicy than tasty - I couldn't really taste the flavour of the meat as it must have been pre-boiled for some time.
The waiters also plonked a piece of Fish Cutlet on our banana leaves, without first asking us. When I asked whether it was "Free", he said "Bayar, semua kena bayar" and then walked off. Well, we thought since the thing was on our banana leaves, we tried it and unanimously agreed that we're NOT gonna be conned by this again. It was tasteless, with hardly any fish in it - it's more like some flour paste with spices and it cost RM1.50 for that miserable piece.Each portion of Rice & Vegetables was RM5 per person. I found their curries lacking in taste - bland. Service was erratic - we had to repeat our request for the Fried Bittergourd several times before it was finally served to us. And what a disappointment it was! The gourd didn't look freshly fried, it was just bitter and not crunchy at all. Although I'm a fan of this stuff, I left my portion of the bittergourd untouched.
On the whole, I would say Raju's is a bit over-rated. The food was not fantastic and the prices are rather steep. For this meal, the cost was RM60.30 for 3 people.

Travis d'Arnaud, Hitting Machine
Ice-Cold Mets Catcher Collects First Hits of the Season; Team Plans to Stay Patient
ATLANTA—Travis d'Arnaud started the season in a miserable 0-for-15 slump, a drought that put a visible strain on his psyche. As the outs piled up, a murmur of discontent swept Citi Field, catapulting the Mets' 25-year-old catcher into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
In the face of daily questioning, d'Arnaud tried to stay positive. He just needed to catch a break: a bloop single, a bad hop, a swinging bunt—anything.

Sure, the peacefulness of a nice, long run on your own can be wonderful, but group running has its benefits, too. Running with others can energize your usual routine, boost your competitive spirit, making you go faster or farther, and even help you form life-long friendships. If you're not sure of how the rules change in a group run, we have the low-down on how to switch from a path of solitude to a group routine.
Where to Look
There are a TON of running clubs out there, so you have the ability to narrow down your options according to size, time of meetings and even charities (some groups raise money while bringing runners together for a cause). If you're not sure where to get started, check out Running in the USA, which breaks down groups by states.
Set the Pace
Before choosing a group of runners to join, check to see if their pace is synched up with yours. Ask your new partners about their usual paces and distances before making a commitment. If they're a bit quicker or slower, it's okay. Just make sure the distance they're covering is close to your own. You don't want to end up way ahead of the pack or, even worse, left in its dust.
Don't Get too Far Ahead
While it's okay to sometimes run faster or slower than the rest of your group—you won't all be perfectly harmonized the entire time—don't ruin everyone's workout by forcing them to try to keep up with you. Being one step ahead will only aggravate your running partners, and by constantly trying to be the leader, you'll end up isolating yourself from the rest of the group.
Take Turns Leading
Once you get comfortable running in a group setting, it's fine to occasionally take the lead, especially on fast-paced tempo runs or sprint intervals. Your best bet is to rotate group members for the front position every half-mile or every few laps. That way, no one will get too worn out, and you'll be able to catch your breath between bursts. Whenever you're in the lead in a single-file situation—crowded sidewalk, country road or track—it's your role to alert your fellow runners of any upcoming obstacles like holes or oncoming traffic.
Yes, this is a workout, and yes, you want to improve your distance and speed, but running in a group session is also a great opportunity to socialize and make new friends. And since you all have a common interest, you're already equipped with a great conversation starter. If you're lucky, you might even learn a thing or two about running.


text: First dates are always special as well as jittery. Whether you plucked up the courage to ask that gorgeous stranger out in the street or whether you found your perfect match on a dating site, there comes a time when you finally go on that first date. From deciding on the best thing to wear to remembering how to carry yourself in the best possible way, you have to make sure that you leave an amazing impact on your date.

Meet Australian cattle & sheep farmers, discover 100 research projects and learn more about what is important to the sustainability of the industry
Producing beef and lamb requires large amounts of water, from the water consumed by animals on farm and in feedlots through to the water required for processing.
Figures associated with the amount of water to produce beef and lamb are highly variable, ranging from 100L to 100,000L per kilogram of finished product. Calculations vary due to differing methodologies of measurement.
Blue Water
Green Water
Water used from dams, rivers, bores and town water supplies that would otherwise may have been available for human purposes.
Some blue water consumed by livestock is often not able to be used for human purposes. This includes small purpose built farm dams and localised creeks.
Soil stored moisture from rainfall for pasture production, where there is not a competitive use.
A comprehensive survey of the environmental practices of Australian cattle and sheep farmers in 2010 found that farmers are increasingly monitoring and managing their water use:
The Australian cattle & sheep industry are continually investing in research to help lower water consumption. Some projects include:

There are two types of people in this world: those who love to drink water throughout the day, and those who really need to make an effort to be hydrated. If you are of the latter, it is very important that you know the great amount of benefits that water could have on you, such as improving your skin, your digestion or even slowing down your anxiety. However, we know that this is a very difficult habit to acquire.
Our tip: Turn this habit into something entertaining, so that you stay motivated and drink water all day.
Keep going down to learn these six simple tricks that will help you to be super hydrated!!
- A Nice Bottle
Surely, you have noticed that when you dress better for the gym, you exercise easier. Well, the water is the same. Buy yourself a nice bottle that encourages you to carry your water everywhere.
2. A Natural Taste
Make your own flavoured water by adding pieces of fruit or natural herbs, (this will also help make it look more appetizing).
3. A Game
Make up a game to help you drink more water. For example for every email you get you must take five sips, or whatever, you make up the rules.
4. A Snack
To slow down your appetite and calm your anxiety, take a glass of water before each meal. Many times your body confuses thirst with hunger, so if you give it what you really need you will not have to overeat.
5. A Large Bottle
Many times, they recommend taking at least eight glasses of water a day. However, if these glasses are small this advice will not serve you at all. Try to make sure your water bottle is large, so that it costs you less to take the 2 litres you need daily.
6. A Reminder
There are applications like Waterlogged or Carbdroid that stimulate the consumption of water during the day through reminders. Take the test and lower them!

I'm back! I missed you all!
Here are eight sentences from my latest release, The Art Lover:
"I promise you'll like the trouble I have planned for you, Officer Jameson."
He blinked but didn't back down as she approached. "Seems any friend of Bert and Miri's should just call me Mitch."
She liked the sexy bravado that backed the insolent once-over he used as a defense. Raising her hand to her throat, she waited until she was sure his eyes followed. Her fingertips were coated in a shade of teal one could only get from a glob of canary smooshed with a bead of cerulean. Reverting to her favorite canvas, she trailed them from the hollow of her throat through the valley between her breasts, tracing the exact route she hoped his mouth would take. And soon.
The Art Lover – Available now for only $0.99!
Starving artist Kelsey Tecato takes being The Templeton Museum's artist in residence a little too literally. By day, she puts on a show of painting for the crowds that shuffle through the galleries, but at night, her muse runs wild.
Mitch Jameson is a guy's guy. A cop moonlighting as a security guard, he has little use for the artsy-fartsy stuff, but the mysterious Ms. Tecato's sexy portraits call to him.
So does an interior alarm.
When Officer Jameson goes to investigate, he finds a paint-splattered goddess working on a self-portrait–in the nude.
A couple tubes of paint and a roll in the drop cloths later, free-spirited Kelsey helps Officer Jameson discover his passion for art.

How did we come up with this name? Well kitten is a Guy and he is Noir; in French, noir means dark or black. We actually borrowed the name from Garrison Keillor (a local big shot). Guy Noir is a fictional private eye regularly featured on the public radio show A Prairie Home Companion. Played by Garrison Keillor, the character parodies pulp fiction novels and the film noir genre. Guy Noir works on the twelfth floor of the Acme Building in a city that "knows how to keep its secrets", St. Paul, Minnesota.
Here is Little Guy with two toys. There was a split second to get the picture before the frantic playing continued. Mostly what I got were pictures like the one below.
|Blur Fur
|Little Guy Noir (Private Cat Eye) Knows How to Keep Secrets
Here is Guy doing a somersault from his basket trying to capture a toy.
|Just before he pounced on my head!
|A daring acrobat!
|Asleep, at last!

A 61-year-old woman sustained fatal injuries in a Los Angeles car accident after she was struck by a vehicle at an intersection in Koreatown, ABC News reports. The fatal pedestrian collision occurred the night of May 17, 2010, when the woman was crossing the street at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Manhattan Place. She died at the scene. The driver fled the scene of the crash. Those who saw the crash apparently told police that the suspect vehicle was a white sedan. Anyone with more information is asked to call LAPD at 213-382-9102.
My heart goes out to this deceased victim's family. They have indeed suffered a tremendous loss. This grieving family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Hit-and-Run Statistics
According to the California Highway Patrol's traffic accident statistics, there were 17,158 hit-and-run collisions that resulted in fatalities or injuries in California in 2008. A majority of these car accidents involved injuries. There were 247 deaths in 2008 involving hit-and-run collisions.
Violations of the law
Hit-and-Run or leaving the scene of an accident is a serious crime under California Vehicle Code 20001 (a). In this particular case, I trust officials are also looking into whether the driver yielded right-of-way to the pedestrian who is said to have been crossing at an intersection.
California Vehicle Code section 21950 states: "The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection." The same section also states that the driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked crosswalk "shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of a vehicle or take any other action relating to the operating of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian."
Liability Issues
In this case, if an investigation determines that a dangerous roadway contributed to the accident, the city or governmental agency responsible for maintaining that roadway could also be held liable. Any such claim against a public entity in California must be filed within six months of an incident. An experienced Los Angeles personal injury lawyer will be able to advise victims and their families about their legal rights and options.
Have you ever been in a hit-and-run collision? What was your experience? We would like to hear from you.

Happy birthday Mahalia Jackson!
Mahalia Jackson (October 26, 1911--January 27, 1972) was an American gospel singer. She is remembered as one of the preeminent voices of the Civil Rights Movement.
Jackson was born Mahala Jackson in New Orleans, Louisiana to Charity Clark and John A. Jackson. She grew up in a house with twelve of her family members. After her mother died, she was raised by her Aunt Duke, who was very strict and who physically abused her.
She began her singing career at Mount Mariah Baptist Church. When she was 16 years old, she moved to Chicago with her family. After performing just one song, "Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet, Gabriel," she was invited to join the Greater Salem Baptist Church Choir. She began to work with gospel composer Thomas A. Dorsey, touring the United States.
Jackson was adamant about never singing secular music, to the extent that the commitment is said to have ended her marriage to Isaac Hockenhull (from 1936 to 1941) when he tried to pressure her into it.
Allegedly, she began recording in the early 1930s, but the first recordings still accessible are what she recorded for Decca Coral Label in 1937. These consisted of "God's Gonna Separate The Wheat From The Tares", "My Lord", "Keep Me Everyday", and "God Shall Wipe All Tears Away."
But it wasn't until she signed with Apollo Records in 1947 that she really hit her stride. She released "Move On Up A Litte Higher," selling eight million copies. The song was honored in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
She became hugely successful, selling out concert halls internationally. She became the first gospel singer to perform at Carnegie Hall, and she did so to a racially integrated audience. Some gospel purists criticized Jackson for clapping and stomping during her performances, saying she was bringing jazz into church.
Jackson was a major player in the Civil Rights movement, appearing regularly at rallies. She sang at the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous "I Have a Dream" speech (below). She also sang at his funeral after he was assassinated.
Since 1997, she has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and the Louisiana Hall of Fame. She won numerous Grammys during her career.

Until his recent travails, Vito Fossella was mostly known during his 10 years in Congress as the only Republican in New York City's delegation.
His 13th Congressional District — which includes conservative Staten Island and a slice of similarly conservative neighborhoods in Brooklyn — is that New York City rarity: a truly Republican district. In 2004, it went for George Bush over John Kerry by 55%-45%.
Mr. Fossella was not certain to be re-elected, but the odds were with him. In 2006, he defeated Democrat Stephen Harrison, a Brooklyn attorney, by 14 points. It looked like the two men were headed for a rematch.
But Mr. Fossella rewrote the script last month when he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol — and then shocked everyone, his wife included, by admitting that he had fathered a child out of wedlock. Mr. Fossella, who regularly ran on his family values and moral fortitude, announced that he would not seek re-election.
That, of course, has changed everything. Mr. Harrison now has a Democratic rival — Michael McMahon, a popular City Councilman, who got the party's official nod. Mr. Harrison vows that he will run anyway.
The bigger changes, of course, are on the Republican side. With Mr. Fossella out, Republican leaders made an aggressive push for a strong candidate — and kept coming up empty.
Two top-tier candidates — Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan, and State Senator Andrew Lanza — bowed out. Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels civilian patrol and now a radio commentator, offered himself as a possibility, but the G.O.P. wisely demurred.
Finally, the party elders settled on Frank Powers, a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board and a retired Wall Street executive, who is not a household name on his home turf of Staten Island, much less in the Brooklyn parts of the district.
The Republicans' recruiting difficulties could spell trouble. Although the district — which is close to Ground Zero, and was much affected by Sept. 11 — went for Mr. Bush in 2004, in 2000 it went for Al Gore by 8 points. Without a strong Republican candidate, and with the bad taste left over from Mr. Fossella's missteps, the seat might well flip blue.
The Republicans have already suffered a series of defeats in special elections in traditionally Republican districts over the last few months, capped by their recent loss of a heavily Republican seat in Mississippi.
The 13th District is a seat the Republicans should not have had to worry terribly about holding. The fact that they are very worried — or should be — is another sign of the serious erosion of the Republican brand.

'Rock River' from Deena Shoshkes "…magnetism that never wavers."(May 27, 2014)
"We're going to generate some criticism from the folk purists with this one … then again, what the hell." That's how we began the conversation about this review. Yet it only took a few minutes listening before everyone was hooked. 'Rock River' from Deena Shoshkes may owe more to an amalgam of rock and alt-country than to folk, then again there's so much strength of songwriting, lyric and musicianship in the mix that however you choose to classify - it's just damn sexy, sultry music. And that can't be bad.
The most obvious and perhaps the overall abiding impression is absorbing the seductive pull of Deena's voice, delivering songs that slide artfully around your ears to wholly seize your attention. Through these vocals you can hear the roots of tradition making their mark through delicious hooks and penetrating melodies. At the outset, the rocky mood of 'My Own Advice' entices, before the fever of 'Find The Love' reaches you and by the time 'Comes With Kisses' envelopes, you're gone. The easiest way to deal with 'Rock River' is go with the flow and realise you're under its spell. Without question, Deena writes supremely tantalising songs, from the rockier cut of 'All She Wrote' through the drowsy appeal of 'I Will Never Be Your Valentine' and the soft ballad 'We'll Take It From Here' to the evocative rush of'Heart Full Of Now' the magnetism never wavers.
There really should be a cautionary alert on the sleeve notes: "Beware, listen to 'Rock River' from seductress Deena and its siren-song will draw you into its embrace."As we already belong to the ranks of those fallen into its grip we would simply ignore the warning.
Reviewers: Tom Franks and Tim Carroll

Food Science and Nutrition BSc (Hons) – 2019 entry
Why choose this course
Our food science programmes are ranked number 1 in the UK by The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018 and number 2 by the Complete University Guide 2019.
The Department of Nutritional Sciences is home to an innovative teaching and learning environment. The strength and depth of our research means you'll not only by taught be internationally recognised researchers, but also be able to become actively involved in cutting-edge research during your studies.
What you will study
Food science is a multidisciplinary subject that applies sciences such as chemistry and biology to the study of food.
Our BSc Food Science and Nutrition will give you an understanding of the raw materials that will become food, how they interact and how food science can have dramatic implications for human health and disease. Food safety also forms an important component of the course, as food can be a major source of disease-causing chemicals and microorganisms.
Our course will not only provide you with a thorough understanding of food composition and analysis, but will also give you a high standard of experience in nutrition and microbiology.

Professional Training placements
As part of this course you have the option to complete a Professional Training placement. These will give you the opportunity to develop your professional, academic and personal potential, equipping you to be adaptable, resilient, globally minded, confident, entrepreneurial and digitally savvy in the workplace. These qualities are widely recognised by employers and a significant proportion of placement students at Surrey are offered graduate-level jobs or go onto postgraduate study.
Find out more about Professional Training placements and discover how these have transformed our students' lives and career choices.
Food Science and Nutrition placements
We strongly encourage you to take a placement in the UK or overseas. Recent students have undertaken placements with leading companies such as:
- Tata Global Beverages
- Sainsbury's
- Nutricia
- Surrey Human Performance Institute
- Unilever
- Pladis
- Yakult.
We place great emphasis on organising a successful, research-based placement, allowing you to extend and enhance your practical abilities and sharpen your professional skills. Employers may sponsor the final year of your degree and many offer our students employment on graduation. To help ensure that you have a successful experience, you will be visited in person during your placement year.
In the competitive world of graduate employment, companies are more likely to consider applicants who have previous professional experience.
Applying for placements
Professional Training placements are usually applied for and secured via an open and free-to-all process, within which students can select and apply for numerous opportunities. Placement providers use their own recruitment and selection procedures and the majority of students will secure their placement in this way. However, support is also provided to students wishing to source their own placement, subject to university requirements being met.
Students are generally not placed by the University, however they are given thorough support and guidance alongside access to a vacancy portal representing thousands of placement opportunities each year. Please be aware there may be travel costs incurred when attending interviews and assessment centres at the placement provider's premises.
Careers and graduate prospects
We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.
Our reliance on a supply of safe food, together with the economic problems that can arise from crop damage and food spoilage, means that graduates from this programme are in high demand by the food and beverage industries.
The combination of modules covering human nutrition, microbiology, food composition, food processing, food analysis and quality assurance provided by this degree equip you for a range of careers.
An important aspect of food science is understanding the vital link between diet and health so that foods can be developed to have maximum nutritional value. You could be involved in undertaking exciting research into the potential and most recent applications of food science – the development of novel foods. These include foods with new synthetic or natural ingredients which are used to replace fats or lower cholesterol, foods with novel health-promoting extracts from plants, or foods that have been altered by genetic manipulation.
As a nutritionist, you may be concerned with the beneficial components in a food, but as a food scientist, you will need to ensure that a food bought from a supermarket contains the optimum amount of these components. You will also be concerned with the quality and safety of the food.
Our graduates are involved in product development, food analysis, research, consumer advice, legislation, food safety and teaching.
Most of our graduates go immediately into the job market, taking jobs that often follow naturally from a successful Professional Training placement, but many of our graduates also pursue further study. This includes taught masters programmes and PhD studentships.
Some of our graduates over the last few years have secured roles such as:
- Technical Graduate, Bakkavor
- Process Technologist, Adelie Foods
- Regulations and Compliance Executive, IFIS
- Conformance Manager, Nestle
- Nutritionist, Whole Foods
- Food Technologist, JF Renshaw
- Regulatory Analyst, Leatherhead Food Research.
Study and work abroad
We give our students the opportunity to acquire international experience during their degrees by taking advantage of our exchange agreements with overseas universities or by completing a Professional Training placement abroad. In addition to the hugely enjoyable and satisfying experience, time spent abroad adds a distinctive element to your CV. Visit our global exchanges pages to check where you can go.
Our international exchange programme offers you the opportunity to spend your Professional Training placement working in another country. Students have travelled to Canada, Australia, Brazil and many European countries, and typically work in a research laboratory at a partner institution.
If you work in another part of Europe you may be eligible for an Erasmus+ grant, as well as your full student loan if undertaking an unpaid research placement in a foreign university laboratory. This is an excellent opportunity not only to acquire valuable work experience, but also to improve or learn another language.

"I've got a baby
His name is David ...
that's my man,
that's my man."
A little made-up, Toni-original, lullaby ditty I've been singing to my oldest male child since he was maybe 2 months old, and which he still sings along with whenever I do (usually just to tease him, but sometimes when he's down or not feeling well, too) -- and now it's really TRUE. See, my boy, my little man, my oldest male 'child', turned 21 this past Wednesday. Eesh. Blimey. Shite. TWENTY-ONE!! Well, that's a big deal, to my way of thinking, one of those transitional things, A Passage - he's a man. So I splurged, bought him some gym clothes, since that is his abiding passion (basketball, basketball, basketball). 2 pair o'shorts, 2 T-shirts, a pair of sandals, all Retro Jordan. He just came in all decked out in one of the new outfits. Believe it or not, the rhinestone BLING on this shirt (which I admit had me pretty worried -- was it too girly? too non-testosterone?) was his favorite thing! Oh yea, there's that smile. The smile that turns Mom to buttuh! Listen, Man-Child o'Mine ... you're still my baby, and now you're my man, too. I love you SOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUCCCCHHHHH!!!

Rough Weekend
It's amazing how things can change a person's perspective. After spending the weekend dealing with a rather sick two-year old, I figured it was good blog fodder. Then I read a news article about the Gulf Coast Triathlon that made a couple nights sleeping on the floor seem pretty inconsequential.

Sad story. If anyone finds out what really happened to him, post here. I would be curious if it was some sort of heart failure that could have been spotted with some tests.
I raced GCT this weekend. Patrick started in the wave after me. This was the 2nd time he was to race GCT. AT the awards ceremony we had a moment of silence for Patrick and his family. No cause was given but heart problems was suspected. The surf was choppy but by no means dangerous. Let's just hope that he has reached the finish line.
