BCF Marketing
5400 College Dr.
Graceville, FL 32440
(800) 328-2660 ext. 415
August 14, 2015
New BCF missions majors enjoyed the time of fellowship with their advisor during lunch time.
BCF Music and Worship Division Chair Bill Davis led students during a time of praise and worship at the beginning of New Student Orientation.
Excitement and anticipation was in the air as both new and returning students arrived on campus at The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) in Graceville, August 13-14. Watching the campus come back to life after the summer break is one of the highlights of New Student Orientation.
New students began orientation in the historic R.G. Lee Chapel with an inspirational time of worship and encouraging message from BCF Academic Dean Robin Jumper. Glazed-over eyes quickly emerged as the group of students relocated to the Mills Center and were introduced to the policies and procedures of attending BCF, along with information about campus life. Students were able to have lunch with their faculty advisors as well as sign up for classes, obtain their student IDs and register their vehicle.
As with any new beginning, there was a great deal of apprehension for many first-time freshmen and students transferring from other colleges. One of the new students, Evan Sammons, was very excited to see how the semester unfolds, "The unknown is really the excitement, but as it becomes the known; faith, encouragement, passion, and love really seem to come to the forefront of this school."
In addition to the formal classes during orientation, there were several activities to welcome new and returning students that included a special time of fellowship with representatives from area churches followed by a student-led concert "Illuminate" featuring BCF Senior Nigil Todd. Additional events sponsored by the Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM) included a version of the "Amazing Race," to help new students become familiar with the campus, and a Saturday pool party called "Poolapalooza." BCM Director Jonah Powers wanted to make sure to start the semester off in grand fashion, "I'm very excited to introduce the new students to student life on our campus."
New BCF students are already making friends and connections as carpools to local eateries ensued and plans for the weekend have been corroborated. Thus begins another chapter in the lives of men and women, young and more seasoned, gathered on the BCF campus to study and prepare for areas of ministry, leadership and service.
To learn more about how BCF faculty, students, and staff are "Changing the World Through the Unchanging Word®" or to obtain information on the many degree programs offered at The Baptist College of Florida, please call 800.328.2660 or visit the website at www.baptistcollege.edu

Next up, we worked on this cute little strand of Christmas lights that my co-teacher found on Pinterest! So…to whomever came up with this idea…we had a total blast! 🙂 It was a glitter-palooza!
Next up, another idea from Pinterest…we gave each student nine strips of green paper. They sorted them shortest to longest and glued them down. I introduced symmetry to them by teaching them how to fold the paper in half to cut a star shape. They came out pretty good, I think. 🙂 Aren't my boys so sweet looking? Don't know what's going on with my middle one…looks like he's doing a Wilson from Home Improvement impression there…he has such a great smile…I'll have to get him to show it next time! 🙂

The development of a user-friendly online module depends on the inputs, the processes and the outcomes from the user interface design, the learner interface design and the instructional design. The online module includes the user interface design, the learner interface and the instructional design. This chapter would examine the theories behind these three designs. What guidelines can be garnered from the theories of these three designs? How can these guidelines be used to develop a user-friendly online module? In addition, it would examine their similarities and how they can be used to develop a user-friendly online module. Further, the chapter recommended an alignment of the garnered guidelines from the three designs to explore the plausible reasons for the high attrition rate in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC).

Exciting times lay ahead as Humberside Scout County have selected the Unit Leader for the 24th World Scout Jamboree in North America. The Jamboree will see over 30,000 young people travel to West Virginia to experience the camp of a lifetime. Over 10 days the young people will take part in activities ranging from white water rafting to BMX biking.
Lewis Simpson has been selected to lead Humberside's unit to the Jamboree by a panel of county staff, previous Jamboree unit leaders and young people who went to the 2015 Jamboree in Japan. The UK Contingent's Vision for the 2019 World Scout Jamboree is to make it more 'youth shaped' and for the young people to have a positive long term impact on Scouting. Youth Shaped Scouting is all about young people making their own decisions to shape their own Scouting adventure.
Lewis is eager for the young people to have clear achievements and goals in place whilst partaking in the World Scout Jamboree experience and wants them to take control of their own experience. When asked, he said he was most excited about "seeing the faces of the young people when they arrive at the Jamboree venue and seeing young people experience some of the best adventurous activities offered in Scouting".
Lewis also wants to engage with Humberside County and continue the message of this World Scout Jamboree long into the future.

U.S. Farmers to Grow More Biotech Crops
Associated Press Writer
Europe's opposition to biotech food isn't stopping U.S. farmers from planting more genetically engineered crops.
This spring, they're devoting fewer acres to growing corn and soybeans but intend to plant more biotech crops than ever _ part of a growing trend, the Agriculture Department said Monday.
"This is only the fourth year that we've been tracking it, but from that, it is the highest it's been," said Darin Jantzi, a department statistician.
While U.S. consumers generally accept biotech foods, Europeans doubt their safety. That concern prompted the European Union to put a moratorium on U.S. biotech imports. It's been in place for four years, costing the United States $300 million annually in corn exports.
However, an Agriculture Department survey says 38 percent of the 79 million acres of corn planted this year probably will be genetically engineered. That's up four percentage points from last year and 13 percentage points over the 2000 crop.
Total corn acreage is projected to be almost the same as last year's 79.05 million acres _ just 32,000 acres less.
U.S. farmers like biotech crops because they require fewer chemicals for killing insects and weeds. They have been planting two main varieties, one of which is known as Bt, or bacillus thuringiensis. It is genetically engineered to fend off insects.
The other variety, Roundup Ready, allows farmers to spray and kill weeds with Monsanto Co.'s Roundup herbicide without killing the corn plant.
Growers likely will plant more biotech soybeans, too. The department predicts 80 percent of this year's 73.2 million acres of soybeans will be a biotech variety engineered to tolerate Roundup. That's up five percentage points from last year's biotech soybean crop and 16 percentage points over the 2000 crop.
The department predicts the soybean crop will be the smallest since 1998, down 1 percent from the 73.8 million acres grown last year. Many growers are switching back to corn because wet weather last year prevented them from planting it, forcing them to raise soybeans instead.
The survey is based on interviews with 75,000 growers in 48 corn states and 31 soybean states.
Per Pinstrup-Andersen, a biotechnology expert at Cornell University, said the government's projection for biotech planting is higher than he expected.
"I would have thought that it would have been roughly constant compared to last year, partly because of the market problems," he said, referring to the United States' trade troubles with European Union.
Congressional lawmakers are pressing the White House to seek an end to the dispute by complaining to the World Trade Organization.
They are especially nervous that Europe's anti-biotech sentiment is spreading to developing countries since some African countries rejected U.S. biotech food aid a few months ago.
However, U.S. farmers and exporters remain confident that other trading partners will continue buying biotech food. That's why growers are planting more biotech crops, said Hayden Milberg, lobbyist for the National Corn Growers Association.
He said he believes farmers may double their biotech acreage in the future, especially since the government recently approved Monsanto's new rootworm-fighting corn for the market.
The new corn is engineered to contain its own pesticide, derived from Bt, a natural soil bacterium. It protects the plant against rootworm, a common pest whose larvae nibble at the plant's roots.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Karate Joe is the third character to appear in the Rhythm Heaven series (the first and second being Samurai Drummer and the Barista), the first to appear in a rhythm game, and one of the only characters to appear in every game since Rhythm Tengoku. He is successing his father in Karate.
Physical Appearance
Karate Joe is characterized by his pale white skin, big nose, and balding head. He wears a black belt karate suit that matches the color of his skin. He wears no shoes. One of the Dazzles (the one with glasses) appears to find him attractive, as seen in the OK and Superb rating screens of Karate Man 2 (DS).
Rhythm Tengoku
Karate Joe first appeared in Rhythm Tengoku as its first rhythm game, Karate Man. He very soon later appears in the first remix alongside the four other games in Set 1. Much later, he reappears along with every other game in Remix 6. He appears in Karate Man 2 right after that. He makes his final appearances in the final two remixes, Remix 7 and Remix 8.
Rhythm Heaven
Karate Joe appears in many games in Rhythm Heaven. He first appears in Karate Man, notably being the last non-sequel/remix game in the game. Right after that, he reappears in set 6's remix, Remix 6. Many games later, he appears in Karate Man 2, Karate Man's sequel. He also has parts in the final three remixes, Remix 8, Remix 9, and Remix 10.
Rhythm Heaven Fever
In Rhythm Heaven Fever, the karate fighter appears in many different games as a cameo, however they are usually Easter-eggs. He first appears, as with the other games in the Rhythm Heaven series, in Karate Man. This rhythm game takes place right before the seventh remix, where he appears again. He gets parts in Remix 9 and gets a sequel minigame in Karate Man 2, which is right before the final remix, where he makes his last appearance. This makes it evident that he is the most recurring character in the Rhythm Heaven series.
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Karate Joe appears in Karate Man, Karate Man Returns!, Karate Man Kicks! and Karate Man Combos!, all of which as a playable character. He also Appears in Honeybee Remix wearing a bee hat, and Right-Hand Remix. Both appearances are based on Karate Man Returns!. In Karate Man Senior, he makes a cameo in the try again screen.

On the 10x podcast, Joe Polish mentioned an idea from Dean Jackon, called a "Super fun happy day". Since many high achievers are used to having their days packed, taking a free day can be a challenge. Solution: plan your free day.
My ideas for what would consist of a super fun happy day:
- Good food (steaks, Little Goat Reuben sandwich, ice cream, etc)
- Good people
- Playing tennis
- Skiing
- Hiking
- Seeing a movie in the theater
- Bike ride
- Concert
- Watch a sunrise, sunset
- Get a massage
- Have a cocktail (paloma, old fashioned, etc)
I need to schedule one of these, stat.

Information correct as of 21/05/2016
Glen Moray started life as West Brewery in Elgin run by Robert Thorne & Sons, and was converted to a distillery with 2 stills in 1897. Following a fire and extensive rebuilding program at their Aberlour Distillery, the company focused on production of Aberlour whisky, allowing the Glen Moray distillery to run down. It was closed in 1910. The distillery was purchased by the owners of the Glenmorangie Distillery, the MacDonald and Muir families at some time during the 1920s. The distillery received 2 additional stills in 1958 and at present has an annual capacity of around 2,000,000 litres. The company now belongs to La Martiniquaise which uses part of its production in their blended Whisky Label 5. The distillery was expanded in 2012 to produce 3,300,000 litres annually from 3 wash stills and 3 spirit stills. 2016 has seen further expansion and development of the site with a growth in production to around 5,500,000 litres annually predicted.

[Wikipedia claims that nineteen other pubs have also laid claim to being Britain's oldest]
The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is urging beer lovers to support the campaign to keep the 174 year-old Hardy & Hanson's brewery in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire open. Despite a petition signed by thousands of H&H drinkers, Greene King have announced that brewing will cease by Christmas and be moved to Bury St Edmunds. Hardys brewery was formed in 1832 and Hansons was formed in 1847, both brewers merged in 1930 to become Hardys & Hansons brewery. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is urging beer lovers to support the campaign to keep the brewery open. Local CAMRA branch chairman Vince Rutland told the Nottingham Evening Post: "The closure is such a shame. Although Greene King say they will continue to produce this bitter elsewhere, beer is rarely the same once it moves home because the water and other factors are different." The local Civic Society is also supporting the campaign. When the sale was originally mooted earlier this year, Camra's chief executive, Mike Benner told The Guardian: "Hardys & Hansons will be chewed up and spat out like so many before it." In recent years, Greene King has slurped up a string of rivals including the 286-year-old brewer Belhaven, Laurel Pub Company and the Essex family brewer Ridley.
New GK signs at 735 pubs (Morning Advertiser): Greene King, the brewer and pub group, is undertaking a corporate branding exercise across its 735-strong managed house division. The company has upgraded exterior signage and fitted plaques inside its pub businesses to ensure they all carry the Greene King name. (The move coincides with a £1.2m prime-time television sponsorship deal. The company has put its name to ITV's primetime entertainment show 'Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway'. Mark Angela, managing director of Greene King's managed arm, said that through investment projects, many of its pubs already carried the appropriate parent company logo, and that the exercise had meant replacing the swing signs and adding internal signs at "a few hundred" pubs. Now all managed houses operated by the group will carry the Greene King identity, including brands such as Hungry Horse, the value food offer. Angela added: "With the sponsorship deal it was important to ensure that consumers can make the connection between Greene King and the pubs we operate. Now all sites carry the Greene King name.
Greene King IPA has become the official beer of English rugby in the brewer's second major sponsorship deal of the autumn. Greene King snapped up the rugby sponsorship after Carlsberg UK decided not to extend a deal for Tetley's which had been in place since 1997. As part of the new four-year rugby deal, Greene King's pub estate will become the official supporters' pubs of English rugby, and promotions will run throughout the season and for all England games.
Greene King News: Articles from around the world focusing on Greene King
[Worth visiting the "Save the Riser" blog to read about a campaign by customers of 'The Rising Sun' and local residents in Epsom. who are extremely concerned at the impact of imminent major changes to the nature of their Pub. They wish to persuade Young and Co, the new owners, that it is in their best interest to preserve the unique nature of our local.]

Transcending The Limits…
What is the meaning of the word dream for you? According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, dream is defined as, "A strongly desired goal or purpose." To explain it even further, dreams push us forward day in and day out. Our personal dreams practically run our lives. Having this in mind, an American Dream instantly receives more light shining on it since it is a reigning ideology of an American culture.
We have talked in class about what the American Dream actually is and in my essay I will be expanding on this topic. However, what every single individual in this country will sooner or later face are the limitations of his or her dream. I can say "every single individual" because these limitations begin from "minor" topics such as buying a BMW instead of a Ferrari and stretch out to more complicated ones such as poverty for example. The key question to ask is, "Can we transcend the limits of the reigning ideology?"
Looking back in my notes the first topic I come along are the Native People and African Americans. The history that these two cultures had to go through has not been the brightest. Natives have lost most of the land that was so valuable to them. Land gave them life and white people knew that. African Americans have gone through the experiences of slavery. A topic that is still alive through stereotypes and racism today. However, what fascinates me is that the spirit of these two cultures has always remained strong and powerful. The spirit inside is what kept the people going. Natives built their spirit with story telling and we can see an example from Momaday's book. African Americans simply never stopped singing. The music is what gave them life. What I believe in is that this is how these two cultures were capable of going beyond limitations of their dreams in order to keep moving ahead. Taking a step back and looking at the present American culture, we can notice how tables have turned around and how huge of an influence we have from African Americans in areas such as fashion and definitely music. Eventually, the spirit of these cultures did expand their "limitation circle".
The field trip to the museum was an interesting one. Christopher Gist Lee brought up a topic about the system's thinking during our class. This prompted me to think about my own place in this world and how I fit in with everything. The idea of system's thinking can explain the limitations a little bit more. Looking at the big picture we can see how Pennsylvania State University is a system that we are a part of and that we live in. There are rules that we need to follow. These rules are for regular students, student-athletes, professors and others. As soon as I mentioned rules, I am bringing the limitations in the context. If the rules are broken, the consequences follow. However, Mr. Lee also said, "You shape the culture you then live in." For me there are two meanings behind this statement. First, by making educated choices about our life, we can become content with living in a system and in a way cover up the idea of the limitations in our minds. Second, by obtaining information we can do something about our lives and improve our standard of living, which would mean going beyond the present limitations to some extent. James Morrow does send a message how individuals should be responsible about the choices that they make and how we should live a good life. I would rather live in a divine environment than in a corrupt one such as the world today can at times be. When I look at the September 11th incident, I do realize that at times different events affect us in making the choices. The terrorist attack changed a lot of views on things, such as freedom for example. This, and every other past event, we cannot get back, just learn from it and move on. However, I do believe that we can make responsible and powerful choices if they are not too extreme.
My family is an immigration family. Immigration brings with itself variety of different aspects of how limited the American Dream can actually be. I have mentioned in my midterm the phrase, "Everyone wants a piece of the pie," since it makes perfect sense. Families move to States because they are looking for something bigger and better. This goal forces them to leave everything behind and start from scratch. The problem is that usually immigrants come from countries that have lower standings in comparison to where they move. What this means is that the education they have rightfully earned does not matter anymore. To make it even worse, language makes it even more difficult to adjust and start over. Therefore, they instantly have limitations placed upon them without even realizing it. What happens then is that the only jobs the immigrants find are the low paying ones. My dad used to be a journalist; now he is a machine operator in a gear cutting company. My mom used to be a secretary; now she has a part time job doing clerical duties in a bank. The standard of living that immigrants have is higher in comparison to their native country, but in comparison to the present society it is much lower. A question comes in handy here, "Would you rather be the first man in the village, or the last man in the city?" Mrs. Wilkins' phrase is also worthy of mentioning, "America is a capitalist's democracy that runs on backs of the poor." However, what keeps majority of parents moving forward are their children. I have personally witnessed parents who are willing to "sacrifice" themselves in order for their kids to have a better future. This is the way for the parents to transcend themselves and experience what they emigrated for in the first place. The pride for the young ones is an amazing force.
James Loewen wrote a full chapter about the class system. This topic simply follows the topic of immigration. Mrs. Wilkins described that being an American is, "…democratic capitalism at its best and worst." Best being the upper class and worst being the lower class. An individual is not given a choice at birth, but is born into his/her own social rank. Johnson wrote about how unfair it is for blacks to live in a rotten system that they have not created themselves. This idea can be applied with the class system. Life is a balance and of course we need to have good and bad, or rich and poor. You cannot avoid it. In my opinion, a person today is being limited mostly by how rich they are and what connections they may have. To a big extent this can predetermine how far up the ladder you can move. When looking at the poor people in the society, it can be hard for their children to have a bright future when they might not ever get an education. Education is probably one of the most valuable assets to have to be "successful" in the society and this can be "obtained" at institutions such as colleges and universities. However, I do believe that there is a way upward. Unfortunately, it does not happen to everyone. For example, individuals do get loans nowadays in order to get themselves through school. The academic and athletic scholarships given to students automatically open numerous doors. A silly example is if one wins a lottery, he or she can be set for life. The one problem being with these examples is that this does not happen to a lot of people and kids usually tend to remain the same social status as their parents. But, as I said, there is a way…
My family did emigrate from Yugoslavia because we were all affected by the war. Personally, war is honestly the stupidest action to take! I will never understand why wars exist and what is it all for? It definitely is a mystery to me. We cannot glorify war. Besides the innocent people who suffered in Vietnam, the next people in line who were deeply affected by the tragedies of that war were the soldiers. From watching the movie and reading Loewen I learned that the soldiers had two choices, either to go to jail or join the army and go defend their country. Plenty of options were given there, weren't they? Not knowing any better, their choice was Vietnam. O'Brien wrote on page 199 how the unknowable was driving the soldiers crazy. They didn't know the true reason why they were fighting and they didn't know where the enemy was because it seemed as Vietnamese were invisible. How could they even make a reasonable choice about anything? O'Brien wrote about how soldiers did not have much saying and they simply did what they were told to do. To transcend the limits while being in the war is close to impossible. A way for the number of soldiers to find an escape was to do drugs and temporarily make it all better. Only the injured ones could say that they were somewhat safer. What we can be thankful for is that eventually it all comes to an end.
Life is a beautiful thing and events occur for a reason. Our life is playing out in front of us and we do try to be in charge of it. I firmly believe that we do have the control and we can make our own choices. Unfortunately, the limits are unavoidable. However, at times there is a way around them. This is up to us to figure out. Life is too short and it does fly by. We have to act and make things happen the way we want them to happen. All that matters is that we have a smile at the end of the day…

In a traditional pump booster system one or more pumps are operated at all times based on a preset pressure value that is selected to meet the peak water demand. However, in most applications the pressure and flow requirements will vary depending on time of day or operating process.
At times therefore the pumps may cycle on and off to meet low demands or when there are leaks in the system. Cycling creates an abrupt current surge each time the pump starts, subjecting the motor to intermittent current loads that can be up to ten times the full-load current and that could damage the pump motor. The frequent on-off operation will also lead to pressure surges in pipe work and associated water-hammer problems. This results in high energy costs and reduced equipment life.
Using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in pump booster systems offers many advantages over traditional methods of constant pressure control. As well as addressing the challenges of pump cycling, current surges and water hammer, they offer more accurate pressure control, increased pump and motor life and also reduce energy costs.
How do they work?
A VFD is an electronic controller that adjusts the speed of an electric motor by changing the frequency of the power being delivered. VFD controlled pump booster systems maintain a constant pressure in the system by taking a 4-20 mA signal from a pressure transducer installed on the delivery pipe and adjusting the pump motor speed accordingly.
The typical operation of a VFD pump booster system is as follows; when there is demand for water, eg when a tap is opened, the pressure in the pipeline gradually drops. When the feedback from the system's pressure transducer shows that the pressure has dropped to just below a presetpressure point, the controller starts the first pump. The variable speed controller will speed up this pump until the pressure has been restored to its original set point.
If the variable speed controller speeds the pump up to its maximumrated output and the flow rate is still insufficient to meet demand, the pressure will again begin to drop. A second pump unit will then be started and the speed of the first pump will be adjusted to maintain the required pressure in the system. If there is still further demand for water, the speed of both pumps will be increased towards their full operating speed and a third pump started up as necessary. This can be further applied to systems with four or more pumps.
Benefits of VFD Systems
By adjusting the pump motor speed to meet demand, the VFD system ensures that pumps only draw as much power as is needed to meet existing demand thus keeping them operating at close to their maximum efficiency. It is estimated that by reducing the motor speed by 50%, power consumption can be reduced by as much as 88%.
Some of the other benefits of using VFD systems include:
• More even distribution & control of system pressure (typically within 1 PSI) throughout the pipe network.
• Elimination of water hammer reducing stress on pipe work and pipe fittings.
• Soft start and stop operation eliminates cycling and the effect of start current surges on the motor and electrical supply system.
• Elimination of pressure switches and motor contactors from the control system.
• Reduced maintenance costs as pump sizes will be smaller.
• Increased redundancy.
Instead of using a pressure transducer as the controlling signal for VFD systems, other sensors such as temperature or flow sensors can be used so that the speed of the pump increases or decreases to maintain constant fluid temperatures or flow rates.
VFDs offer many advantages over the traditional methods of pressure control in a distribution network. They provide precise pressure control, reduce water leakage, increase pump life and result in significant energy savings.
Davis &Shirtliff is the leading supplier of water pumping equipment in East Africa. The company has developed a range of packaged Dayliff VFD pumping systems that have become quite popular in the market and many companies using these systems have been able to able to achieve significant cost savings through reduced power consumption. Davis &Shirtliff can help clients select and design the appropriate VFD pumping system that will guarantee trouble-free operation and enable them to reap the maximum benefits of the VFD technology.

Mistress has told me to apologise to everyone that follows her Blog…and herself for my lazy ways.
I should have updated this Blog with pictures of Mistress and Mike when they met prior to Christmas along with the 'text' detail that Mistress has written. I am sorry everyone for not doing this.
Mistress has asked me to ask you all how I should be punished.
I also have to apologise publicly to Mistress and Vicky for the night out they had prior to Christmas. As an entry on this Blog suggested I collected Mistress and Vicky from their night out in Preston. It was 4am in the morning and I had not had much sleep for a number of nights. I was grumpy and in a mood that embarrassed Mistress….Mistress clearly tells all her close friends that "I (Mistress) can do what I want…" but I gave the impression that Mistress was 'in trouble' with me due to my mood. Whilst Mistress did ensure she took the higher ground…I did in the mind of my Mistress, undermine her position…or try to undermine her position. I apologise for this and for the lateness in posting this public apology to Mistress, Vicky and all of Mistresses followers.
Again, I expect a punishment and Mistress has told me to open the discussion about what my punishment should be. You can post replies under this entry.
Thank you everyone…and I am very sorry. I beg your forgiveness.
I will update with the Mistress and Mike post (with pics) before the end of this week.
Apologies to all.

"We got more votes than Labour. You wouldn't believe it listening to Ed Miliband, but actually they were defeated in the local elections, which is pretty staggering for an opposition."
George Osborne, 08 May 2011
The background
Almost everyone except Nick Clegg is claiming that Thursday's local election results were good news. The Lib Dem leader was forced to concede his party had take "a real knock" after presiding over the party's worst showing at local level since the 1980s.
"North, south, east and west, Labour is making gains and coming back", said Ed Miliband, after his party emerged as the biggest winners.
But even as the votes were being counted, Conservative sources were briefing journalists that they were on course to win a bigger share of the overall vote than Labour.
Speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr on Sunday, Mr Osborne was keen to present Thursday as a victory on those terms. Is he right to call this a defeat for Labour?
The analysis
The English local elections saw more than 9,500 seats contested in 279 local authorities across the country. The Lib Dems lost 748 councillors, Labour gained 857 and the Tories were up by 86.
But the Chancellor was keen to talk about who ended up with the biggest share of the total numbers of votes cast.
Just like in a General Election, that percentage doesn't necessarily translate into the numbers of seats that give parties overall control, and the Conservatives themselves admitted to FactCheck that it's a "notional" figure, but it's still a useful measure of success or failure.
The first thing to point out is that no one yet knows the final numbers for the different parties' share of the vote. No election analyst has yet added up every vote cast on May 5, and it will be months before any of them does so.
But various projections have been made that aim to tell us how the nation as a whole would have voted if local elections had been held everywhere. They use complex formulae to take into account the fact that not everyone, like councils in London, went to the polls.
Conservative analysts looked at a sample of 1,000 council wards as the results came in on Thursday, and quickly said they were projected to win 38 per cent of the total vote, with Labour on 37 and the Lib Dems on 17 per cent.
Within days, Professors Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher of the University of Plymouth had produced their National Equivalent Vote, which also put the Tories and Labour on 38 and 37 per cent respectively and gave the Lib Dems 16 per cent.
Professor John Curtice of the University of Strathclyde used a slightly different methodology when he performed the same exercise for the BBC, and his projection puts Labour slightly ahead on 37 per cent. He gives the Conservatives 35 per cent and adds to the Lib Dems' misery by reducing their share to just 15 per cent.
So two studies carried out by some of the most highly respected academics in the business declare different "winners".
We'll let Lewis Baston, Senior Research Fellow at Democratic Audit, an independent research organisation which audits democracy and human rights in the UK, adjudicate.
He told FactCheck: "Basically, the local elections showed the Conservatives and Labour more or less equal in votes. If different but respectable statistical methods produce plus one and minus two, you can say it's effectively level within the limitations of measuring and modelling techniques.
"It's a bit pointless for either the Conservatives or Labour to claim a 'win' on this measure – it's too close to call."
So Mr Osborne may have jumped the gun slightly, but all our experts agree that he is right to be pleased with how things went.
Professors Rallings, Thrasher and Curtice all said before the election that Ed Miliband could only claim victory if Labour won 1,000 seats – roughly the number that would take the party back to where it stood in 1999.
The last time the same seats were contested in 2007, Tony Blair was about to hand over the reins to Gordon Brown and Labour's stock was painfully low in the polls.
Mr Baston said 800 seats was "the bottom end of respectability" for Labour but said the final result was "good going" for the Tories, whose vote may have been galvanised by the party's campaign for a No vote in the simultaneous AV referendum.
More worrying for Mr Osborne is the question of what a Tory "victory" in terms of total votes would mean if repeated at a General Election.
Most analysts think that the inherent advantage enjoyed by Labour when it comes to winning Parliamentary seats means the Conservatives still would not get a majority at Westminster with these kind of figures.
As Professors Rallings and Thrasher pointed out in the Sunday Times, the Tories' 38 per cent share of the vote would only translate into 270 seats, down 37. Labour's percentage would be slightly less but would bag them 318 seats, up 60.
So the result would be another hung Parliament with Labour able to form a majority. The Lib Dems would still be part of this notional coalition despite losing 30 of its 57 seats.
Lewis Baston broadly agrees. Like Rallings and Thrasher, and despite the Conservatives' focus on resizing Parliamentary constituencies, he thinks that's largely because of falling turnout in traditional Labour heartlands.
Whereas in the 1960s the turnout in Labour strongholds was on a par with areas dominated by the Conservatives, it has plummeted in recent times to the point where half as many voters might win a safe Labour seat.
Labour's vote is still enough to win in the party's stronger seats but the party has few voters in weaker areas. By contrast, the Lib Dem and Conservative vote is relatively high even in constituencies where the party is not winning.
The verdict
FactCheck is going to have to pull George Osborne up on a very premature claim of victory as far as this one narrow measure of electoral success is concerned.
As our experts point out, though, he's unlikely to lose too much sleep, as the Tories have indeed done a remarkable job of shoring up their support in what is widely considered a mid-term popularity contest.
Prof Curtice suggests their solid showing on Thursday is mostly to do with the collapse of the Lib Dem vote, and tells us little about how the Tories would fare in a straight fight with Labour.
What ought to trouble Mr Osborne even more than that is the fact that, if the Tory "victory" had been mirrored in General Election results, it still wouldn't have secured the party an outright majority in Parliament.
David Cameron has talked about tackling the anti-Tory bias by reducing the size of Parliament and revising constituency boundaries.
But our analysts are among a number of academics who think there may be few quick fixes for Labour's built-in advantage.

on California Propositions 60 and 90 which allow residents who meet
the qualifications to transfer their property tax base.
One of the primary
reasons that South Bay residents do not downsize once their kids
have left the nest is the fear of rising property taxes. With homes
in the South Bay often selling in the millions, there is a fear
that along with a smaller South Bay home or townhome, will come
a hefty property tax increase. This isn't necessarily the case and
you may be protected by propositions
60 and 90 which can transfer your property tax base to a
new South Bay property if you are over 55 and have the other qualifications.
Some of the
Prop 60 qualifications are as follows:
The principal claimant must be at least 55 years of age as the date
of sale of the original residence and must have been an owner
of record of both the original and the replacement residence.
The property may be a single family residence, a unit within a cooperative
housing project, condominium project, planned unit or a mobile
The replacement residence value must be "equal to or lesser than"
the value of the original residence. Equal to or lesser than is further defined on the reverse side
of the application.
The replacement residence must be purchased or newly constructed within
2 years, before or after, the sale of the former residence.
The base year value of the original property cannot be transferred
to the replacement dwelling until the original property is
A taxpayer is not eligible for the tax relief until they actually
own and occupy the replacement dwelling as their principal
The principal claimant must have been receiving or have been eligible
for either the Homeowners Exemption or the Disabled Exemption
on the original residence.
An application/claim must be filed within 3 years of the date of the
replacement property is purchased or newly constructed.
The transfer of property tax is valid only one
time. (Unless you become disabled after using the age 55 exception.)
If you have any questions, the property
tax office in Sacramento for all counties in California may be reached

On Friday afternoon, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos rescinded guidelines issued by the Obama administration on how colleges and universities should address sexual assault on campus. DeVos contended that the rules outlined in a 2011 "Dear Colleague" letter and a 2014 follow-up "lacked basic elements of fairness" and trampled on the rights of those accused of sexual assault.
Watch CBS News report on DeVos' move here.
Principally, DeVos issued interim rules that allowed colleges the option of using a higher standard of evidence when investigating sexual assault cases. The Obama-era rules called for colleges to use "preponderance of the evidence," which means that the accused must be disciplined if he or she is "more likely than not" guilty. However, the interim rules allow colleges to go back to the pre-2011 standard of "clear and convincing evidence" if they can legally do so. That standard requires discipline if it is "highly probable" that the accused is guilty.
Democrats, victims of sexual assault, and advocates for victims expressed alarm at the new rules. Some thought it could discourage victims from coming forward. For instance, Janet Napolitano, the president of the University of California system, expressed concern that the new rules could weaken protections for victims and "unravel the progress that so many schools have made" in addressing sexual assault. She was also worried that the new rules make it unclear what colleges must do to stay in compliance.
Others feared it could allow colleges to sweep sexual assault under the rug. Cari Simon, a lawyer for sexual assault victims, said that new rules that allow mediation would allow colleges to treat sexual assault as merely "a dispute between students."
Reaction from Democratic lawmakers was equally harsh.
Secretary DeVos and this Administration have betrayed the victims of campus sexual assault with this decision. https://t.co/1PDviuJVgn

This is not just a betrayal of the victims of campus sexual assault- it also discourages future victims from coming forward & seeking help.

Today's action by @BetsyDeVosED to rescind #TitleIX guidance unnecessarily harms, minimizes survivors' voices https://t.co/khicKeH5nD
— Senator Ben Cardin (@SenatorCardin) September 22, 2017
Shameful. This decision will hurt and betray students, plain and simple. https://t.co/b2syuMM4ma
— Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) September 22, 2017
There are a lot of reasons for concern about this latest move by DeVos. For one thing, she works for a president who revels in degrading women, and just recently retweeted a GIF depicting himself knocking Hillary Clinton down with a tee shot–a tweet that is still up a week later. The person who will implement these rules, Candice Jackson, head of the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights, claimed in July those who accused Trump of sexual assault during the campaign weren't really victims, and was forced to apologize for claiming that over 90 percent of rape cases happen because both accuser and accused were drunk. DeVos herself has been a bit too cozy for comfort with men's rights groups.
That being said, though, the Obama-era rules look like a classic case of what happens when you rush new policy into place without adequately ironing it out. When DeVos first hinted that she was looking at changing the Obama-era rules, Slate's Mark Joseph Stern and The Atlantic's Emily Yoffe both took a long, hard look at the Obama rules. They didn't like what they saw.
For one thing, the 2011 rules allowed colleges to deny the accused the right to have a lawyer present during disciplinary hearings for sexual assault, even considering the stakes. After all, those accused of assault could potentially face expulsion. In some cases, those accused of assault never received specific, written notice of the allegations against them–making it difficult to defend themselves.
On the face of it, it looks like in his zeal to get college officials to take sexual assault more seriously, Arne Duncan, who was Education Secretary at the time both letters were issued, may have inadvertently eroded basic principles of due process. He also may have ignored longstanding Supreme Court precedent that held "clear and convincing evidence" was an appropriate standard when "particularly important individual interests and rights are at stake." It would seem that if you're potentially making a life-changing decision such as kicking someone out of school, you would want to ensure that the standard of evidence is strong enough to ensure that you get it right.
When these rules were announced and colleges updated their policies accordingly, criticism came in from across the spectrum. For instance, in 2014, several professors at Harvard Law–President Obama's alma mater–objected to provisions that took away "the most basic elements of fairness and due process." Similar concerns were expressed a year later by professors at Penn Law.
Numerous studies have long suggested that the number of false reports are vanishingly small. However, former Air Force judge advocate Reggie Yager examined the research into false rape reports in 2015, and concluded that much of that research was "methodologically unsound." Even without that to consider, Yoffe rightly notes that "no legal or moral system purporting to be just" can rely merely on statistics.
To be sure, the new interim rules are problematic themselves in some respects. They suggest that schools should be able to ban accusers from appealing decisions by administrators, even when new evidence surfaces. They are also somewhat vague on what constitutes "fairness." Additionally, they suggest that sexual assault cases should be conducted under the same evidence standards as other student misconduct cases–even though sexual assault is a far different beast than plagiarism or cheating.
There's no denying that in a drive to solve one problem, the Obama Education Department may have inadvertently created another. But this is an issue that can't be solved just by DeVos and her staff. Given the huge credibility gap that DeVos, and this administration as a whole, have with regard to domestic violence and sexual assault, DeVos would do well to make any reform efforts as bipartisan as possible. Perhaps if Duncan had gone this route in 2011, we wouldn't have this problem now.
Let's be clear. We need to end the perception that the system is rigged against people who have been sexually assaulted. It's a big reason many victims don't come forward. But it can be done without eroding one of the most sacred principles of our democracy–that no one is below the law.
