A New View on Diet and the Heart - Real Talking by Prof Grant Schofield, AUT

Trent Lash from Heartbeats West Auckland

NOT TO BE MISSED - a REAL CONVERSATION with the community and the average person wanting to learn more about heart disease and heart health management.

The question of what causes heart disease, especially atherosclerosis is one which scientists have been trying to answer for a long time. Recent advances in thinking and debunking of old science changes the way we think about this and therefore what to do about it.

For example, are fats (lipids) in the blood important? And how they get there in the first place. How does what we eat, exercise, and sleep affect us.

Be surprised, learn something new, and engage with Professor Grant Schofield in unconventional thinking about your health.

Grant's talk will be informative, exciting and in simple terms that a layperson can understand.

COMING NEXT THURSDAY to Mary Thomas Centre, 3 Gibbons Rd, Takapuna (behind the Takapuna Library)
WHEN: 5th August, 10:15 - 11:30am
WHERE: Upstairs conference room

Grant Schofield, PhD, Professor of Public Health, Director Human Potential AUT Millennium Centre, is an ex NZ representative sportsperson with a doctorate in Psychology and a passion for Public Health. Grant leads Masters and Doctoral research programmes on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders. He is particularly interested in the impact of nutrition and exercise on cardiovascular disease.

The weird and wonderful things about online trading

Hi Auckland,

What was your best purchase on an online marketplace, like Trade Me or Neighbourly?

A 1950s aircraft fuselage could be yours after a Waiuku resident listed their "old warbird" on Trade Me.

The Royal New Zealand Bristol Freighter flew as part of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during the Vietnam War. It was then purchased and shipped to Whenuapai-Ardmore in 1978 and then sold on to a Waiuku local. The sellers purchased the land at a later date, and thus the plane.

The listing starts at $18,000 and at time of publishing, has been added to almost 900 users' watchlists.

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy

Competenz has developed a new micro-credential to meet the demands brought about by Industry 4.0.
