UNC students learn to build the perfect prototype, one failure at a time
New course at UNC-Chapel Hill combines design thinking and experiential making
Published June 8, 2018
When students take a course, they define success in any number of ways: good grades, learning new skills or expanding their knowledge, to name a few. You'll find very few, however, who define success as experiencing failure. Yet, a new design and making course at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is teaching students that in order to move forward, they must first endure a few steps backwards.
Coming off a first successful semester in the spring of 2018, the course Introduction to Design and Making is exposing Carolina students to the coolest state-of-the-art technology, while also proving that hard work and perseverance through failure can be rewarding.
24 students enrolled in the spring semester
1,048 hours spent in the UNC makerspace by students in the class
44 hours per student spent working in the makerspace on class assignments
853 additional hours spent in the makerspace by the same students working on non-class projects
During the 2017-18 academic year:
Nearly 4,000 different people used UNC makerspaces
28,000+ visits were made to the makerspaces
50,000+ hours were spent by people using the makerspaces
Anyone interested in design and making can register for the APPL 110 course
Fall 2018 registration is open for undergraduates
A limited number of graduate student seats are available under the APPL490 section 010 listing
The course, which is offered through the Department of Applied Physical Sciences as APPL 110, sparks innovation through creative prototyping. It's designed to incubate an entrepreneurial mindset in students, while arming them with the tools to make objects they can share with friends or even put on the market.
Innovate Carolina provided materials and additional resources, serving as a catalyst to jumpstart the course. As the University-wide initiative for innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E), Innovate Carolina and its partners in the in the I&E campus network provide students, faculty and staff with the tools and resources they need to turn their ideas into innovations.
"The vision for the class is to bring together concepts of design thinking and experiential making," says Glenn Walters, course instructor and director of the Environmental Sciences and Engineering Design Center at UNC's Gillings School of Global Public Health. "The course is a deep dive into what's involved in the design process, giving students a broad familiarity with digital fabrication technologies and giving them in-depth experience using those technologies to develop physical prototypes."
But the course is not for the faint of heart. Accepting and learning from failure can be the most challenging concept for students to grasp. In this class, failure is embraced and even celebrated. "The goal is to be successful with assignments, but you'll have to fail – maybe multiple times – to get there," says Walters.
The class explores design through active making, discussion, presentation and self-evaluation. It challenges students to learn and embrace that repetition is required to develop and get prototypes right. Class assignments include group work around processing pre-made objects and double-sided engraving as well as individual assignments such as creating designs with a 3D printer.
"It's not exactly like brainstorming a business plan. Students have to learn that the key to all design prototyping is how to be patient and persevere," says Walters. "Students quickly realize there's no choice but to plan their time accordingly to keep working on their prototype until it's just right."
Students also discovered a bonus benefit throughout the semester – realizing they can apply the skills they learn to other classes and in other areas of life.
"One student shared that they signed up for the course because they wanted to just do what's required to get the grade," says Walters. "But by the end of the course, that same student had flipped their outlook, learning a better way to work with groups and translate that skill to other classes as well."
In teaching the course, Walters pulls from his own experiences and approach to the world.
"People can be inhibited in their ability to understand design and making. The biggest obstacle can be intimidation by technology," says Walters. "In order to foster the learning process, I spend time helping students work through their assignments and dealing with the fact they won't get it right the first time. It's about getting them to accept that principle and to keep trying until it's right."
The course is the brainchild of Walters, Rich Goldberg, research associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Rich Superfine, Taylor-Williams Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and professor in the Department of Applied Physical Sciences.

Anyone interested in design and making can register for the course, no matter their major. The inaugural class included a broad cross section of those intrigued by the idea of learning to design and make objects. Students included everyone from freshmen to graduate students and those with a variety of majors, including art, biomedical engineering, environmental science, communications, and media and journalism.
The class brought together students with no experience in entrepreneurship to others who are in the early stages of building businesses. Some of the students had already created businesses. Much like a startup environment, the course teaches students how to collaborate with others and use their unique skills to work toward a common objective.
"Students have no choice but to get the work done," says Walters. "Getting the taste for failure… that's how you determine if you're an entrepreneur. If you're still excited about it, you will come out of the class jazzed up and fired up."
Fall 2018 registration for the class is still open. The course will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the newly remodeled active learning space in Phillips Hall, which will work well for group hands-on activities and learning.
"Our goal is to create a larger community of informed makers that offer greater benefits to the entrepreneurship community as well," says Walters.
Students from any major are welcome and encouraged to take the class. There are no course pre-requisites, but a required orientation training will take place ahead of the class.

I've not read the book...
I know nothing about the events that inspired...
Why was this movie made? Maybe I'm getting softer in my old age, maybe it was made to cash in on the recent popularity of so called "torture porn". All I know is all this movie made me do is cringe, yell at my tv "OH MY GOD!" and cry.
I really just didn't see the need for this movie... it was horrible and sadistic.
If anyone could point me in the direction of the actual events, I'd appreciate it.

The Girl Next Door
I figured the point of the movie was to simply make a movie about (ie. show the world) some of the details of a somewhat notorious case of child abuse but your thread got me wondering what the real story was. I think that what were probably the worst parts of the movie, the rape and the blow torch, were fictional as there was no mention of either in anything I read, the fact that it was adapted from a true story (but mostly based on the novel which was "loosely based" on the real story, I would imagine) is just something that is supposed to more believable, I guess. Anyway, when I was reading last night I found some decent articles about Sylvia Likens (the abused girl) and Gertrude Baniszewski (her "guardian") on Wikipedia. I assume they contain, more or less, the whole story. I read somewhere else, on a forum I believe, that the boy who tried to help her was also entirely fictional.

Background. Little is known about the influence of ongoing barriers to care in the persistence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) viremia after treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH). Methods. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of PLWH treated through the standard of care in 3 Western countries, to investigate the predictors of HCV treatment failure (clinical or virologic), defined as having a detectable serum HCV ribonucleic acid within 12 weeks after DAA discontinuation. In addition to HCV and liver-related predictors, we collected data on ongoing illicit drug use, alcohol abuse, mental illness, and unstable housing. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of HCV treatment failure. Results. Between January 2014 and December 2017, 784 PLWH were treated with DAA, 7% (n = 55) of whom failed HCV therapy: 50.9% (n = 28) had a clinical failure (discontinued DAA therapy prematurely, died, or were lost to follow-up), 47.3% (n = 26) had an HCV virologic failure, and 1 (1.8%) was reinfected with HCV. Ongoing drug use (odds ratio [OR] = 2.60) and mental illness (OR = 2.85) were independent predictors of any HCV treatment failure. Having both present explained 20% of the risk of any HCV treatment failure due to their interaction (OR = 7.47; P < .0001). Predictors of HCV virologic failure were ongoing illicit drug use (OR = 2.75) and advanced liver fibrosis (OR = 2.29). Conclusions. People living with human immunodeficiency virus with ongoing illicit drug use, mental illness, and advanced liver fibrosis might benefit from enhanced DAA treatment strategies to reduce the risk of HCV treatment failure.

What can I do with a master's degree in nursing education?
There are many different types of nurse educators under two broad categories in nursing education:
- Clinical setting. Many educators in nursing practice work in a clinical environment to train students directly in real-life patient care situations.
- Academic setting. Nurse educators may also teach in a college or university classroom.
To become a nurse educator in either setting, extended experience as a registered nurse and a master's degree in nursing education will be required to pursue this career path.
Types of jobs you can get in nursing education
Every job as a nursing teacher is unique and features different responsibilities, but the overall goal is the same: to prepare nursing students for the transition from school to a professional work setting.
1. Clinical setting: hospital and clinical nurse instructor positions
Education in a teaching hospital or other clinical environment is often needed in the case of continuing education. Work in a hospital as a nurse educator and you will be responsible for providing clinical education to nursing staff and other healthcare professionals.
Clinical nurse educators are vital to helping a healthcare facility improve processes and mitigate risks to both patients and caregivers.
2. Academic setting: faculty / nurse teacher positions
Nursing faculty teach nursing students in a classroom environment, preparing lectures and academic curriculums to provide foundational nursing education. To work in an academic setting, you will need to hold a master's degree in nursing. For some positions, you may be required to hold a DNP or Ph.D.
3. A mix of both clinical and academic
Some nurse educators will split duty between a college/university classroom and clinical role depending on an organization's needs.
Many nurse educators will teach part-time while working in a clinical setting, giving them opportunity to remain sharp, continue building experience in patient care and share their advanced expertise with new nursing students.
Requirements for the job may include:
- Design curriculum to ensure classes meet the state accreditation requirements
- Prepare lectures and lead classroom discussion
- Supervise lab and clinical education
- Provide feedback to students as they work and interact with patients
- Oversee student research and internships
- Aide in research, studies and evidence-based practice efforts
- Review student performance
Potential job titles include nurse educator, nurse instructor, clinical nurse specialist, nurse teacher and many different other variations.
Frequently asked questions
According to 2018 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), nurse educators earn an average salary of $81,350 per year. Pay can depend on many factors, including the state where you are employed, the degree you have attained and level of experience in the field. Discover how much nurse educators make by state.
Job outlook
The BLS reports an expected 20% increase in the number of jobs for nursing instructors and teachers from 2018-2028, higher than the expected 5% increase across all occupations. It's a great time to begin working towards joining this growing field.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports these as the most common employers of nurse educators:
- Colleges, Universities and Professional Schools
- Junior Colleges
- General Medical and Surgical Hospitals
- Technical and Trade Schools
If you are not already a registered nurse, your first step is to earn your bachelor's degree in nursing and become a licensed RN. You will then need to earn a master's degree in nursing education to become a nurse educator.
Depending on what type of opportunities you seek, there may be additional advanced training needed. For some positions as a professor you may be required to earn a doctorate in nursing.
If you are a registered nurse with a passion for teaching and seek the best new career opportunity, earning a master's in nursing education is absolutely worth it. You will earn the opportunity to pursue a number of different options as a nursing teacher and find a job you love.
With an MSN Nurse Educator degree you will also qualify for post-graduate nursing certificate programs should you choose to expand your body of knowledge and continue growing in the nursing field. If you're looking towards a future in management as a nurse leader, see our MSN in Nursing Leadership & Administration program.

Pol Pot (born Saloth Sar (Khmer: Pol Pot: ប៉ុល ពត; Saloth Sar: សាឡុត ស); May 19, 1925 – April 15, 1998) was a Kampuchean revolutionary and the leader of Democratic Kampuchea.
As the leader of Kampuchea, he brought Year Zero, which took the country on road to be the perfect society. During Year Zero, there was no more money or exploiting classes. All the people worked in the fields so that everyone could eat. Pol Pot decided to reduce exploitative industry in his country by demanding that Western capitalists leave. When they refused to do so, he killed them in retaliation. In 1978, the Vietnamese started an invasion of Kampuchea and Pol Pot fled to the jungles in 1979 in order to wage a People's War against the tyrannical government of the People's Republic of Kampuchea.

We're looking for a t-shirt design showing Robin Hood taking from the rich and giving to the poor. The top of the design will say "Robin Hood took from the rich to give to the poor". The bottom of the design will say (in a positive and cheeky way) "He was a socialist" or "that's socialism".
The image I'm seeking will be cheeky and in good humour, but more of a graphic novel image than a childish cartoon. I'm thinking that the image will contain Robin Hood in a medieval woodblock print (see examples), but this is just an idea. You could also think about a socialist woodblock (see example). Things that you can (but don't have to) incorporate include the socialist symbol (the 'hand' or hammer/sickle).
The design can have 1-3 colours, but there's no need to make it too complex. The message (both textual and graphic) is most important.
-Don't like this brief? Want to design something more contemporary? Check out our other competitions on 99 designs in the t-shirt design section.
Our clients are generally aged between 15-45, but there's no reason why they can't be outside that age. They're passionate, socially aware and potentially geeks, hippies, hipsters, yuppies, yippies etc. They want the world to know what they think but want to put it in as simple and clever a way as possible. Chances are they'll wear these t-shirts with jeans, but if they can also wear them for more upmarket events that would be a bonus (not a necessity).
Thank you for all of your entries!

Ryobi 40V 7.5 Ah Ultra High Capacity Battery
- By Javier
- February 4, 2020
- 4 Comments
A new Ryobi kit for a cordless mower was spotted with a brand new 40V 7.5 Ah Ultra High Capacity Battery.
Up until now, the highest capacity battery for the Ryobi 40V system was their 6.0 ah batteries but with the new 7.5 ah 40V battery, they've pushed the runtime limits even further. What's interesting is that while the 4.0, 5.0 and even the 6.0 ah 40V Ryobi batteries all have the same size and form factor, the new 7.5 ah battery is significantly taller. This means it's packing more battery cells than the other three batteries. I bet it has similar cells as those in the 5.o battery with an extra set of cells which means that if they used the same cells from the 6.0 ah battery, they could make a similarly sized 9.0 ah 40V battery pack!
Just like the other 40V Ryobi batteries, the new 7.5 ah battery has a built in 4 bar fuel gauge to check remaining battery charge.
Keep in mind they new Ryobi 40V 7.5 ah battery is only sold as part of a kit (RY401130) and can't buy separately at the time of writing. So hopefully they can sell it separately soon.
A big thanks to DrewBHAM for spotting!

Awesome…so now the included charger will take six hours or longer. Ryobi seriously needs to upgrade all chargers…40V AND 18V. The battery has great cells however. Samsung INR18650-25R (x30!).
I looked it up and according to HD, with the included charger bundled with the Y401130 mower kit, it takes 5 hours to charge the 7.5ah battery. Nowhere anywhere near as fast as Ego's fast charger who can charge their larger 7.5ah battery in 60 minutes however we have to keep in mind Ryobi is a budget brand. They make great stuff within a certain pricepoint and certain features like their charge times reflect that. I'm sure they could include much faster chargers however they would have to raise kit prices higher, higher than most consumers probably would be willing… Read more »
Agree with the extra cost, separately purchased charger idea. I actually run the One+ 18V UK chargers (Ebay) on a 120VAC to 230VAC converter, because they charge at 5A instead of the US charger's 2.4A. (I use the 18V 9Ah packs exclusively.)

Brazil's national civil aviation agency ANAC is to hold a series of public hearings in September in a bid to attract private investors interested in building and operating a new airport in Rio Grande do Norte province.
Construction of São Gonçalo do Amarante–Natal International Airport began in 2004, but the project has stalled during the economic downturn and the government is now anxious to appoint a concessionaire to finish the job.
In return for a 25-year operating contract, the concessionaire will be expected to invest over $370 million on completing the gateway's construction over the next three years in readiness for a 2013 opening.
Issues to be discussed at the hearings will include whether the tender will be national or international, whether consortiums and subcontractors will be allowed and the type of companies permitted to participate.
Located 11 kilometres from the city of Natal, the Brazilian government wants São Gonçalo de Amarante to be equipped to handle 5mppa and boast one of the largest terminals and longest runways in Latin America.

More Advice from 2010

Preparing for Chemo—Round 1
It all seems like yesterday. I can recall rushing to the hospital on January 7, 2010 after being called to pick my child up from preschool. His breathing was shallow, his skin tone was blue, and he was lethargic. This was the day after my son had received an all clear from his pediatrician for what was believed to be round pneumonia. This was the day that the hospital realized that the round pneumonia was actually a tumor that had just burst. This day was the first day of my new life. A life where cancer is the first thing I think about each morning and the last thing I think about each night.
The month of January was a whirlwind. Our journey with cancer began with an emergency room visit that lead to an ICU visit. We were then faced with a major surgery to remove a rare tumor, a devastating visit with the oncologist to obtain a heart-breaking diagnosis, and months of chemotherapy, radiation and regular visits to the hospital for check-ups and blood work. In the beginning, there was little time to process everything. So much information was being shared and it all seemed to go in one ear and out the other. Looking back, there was much that I wish I had known from the start. Now is my opportunity to share the knowledge that I have gained.
Pray, Pray, and Pray. Then, pray some more
You are about to face possibly one of the biggest challenges of your life. Now is not the time to leave your faith behind. Jeremiah 30:17 says that God will restore your health. You must believe this with all of your heart and know that with God, all things are possible. When you find yourself wavering and getting upset with God, and you will, remember to pray, pray, and pray. This will allow you to find strength in God and His word.
Stay positive
During this challenging time in your family's life, you must remember to stay positive. No matter what anyone says, you must stay faithful and know that God wants your child to be healed. Keep your thoughts positive and believe with all of heart that all will be well. When you believe, you will receive. (Mark 11:24)
When our battle began, many of our friends provided positive books for us to read. I found these books to be extremely helpful when times got tough. Two books that helped keep me strong when I was struggling were, Stronger than Cancer by Connie Payton and Healed of Cancer by Dodie Osteen. You should carry these around, so you can reference back to them and stay encouraged.
Write everything and remember everything
As a parent dealing with cancer, it is important that you keep a spiral or journal with you at all times, and write everything down. From day one, you will be learning about new terminology, procedures, and medications. When you do not understand something, ask for clarification. It is crucial that you know your child's file better than anyone in the hospital. You must be able to recognize when things are right and wrong. Something as simple as when your child should receive a dose of medicine and how much they should receive is essential for a parent to know. Don't leave anything up to the nurses and doctors. Remember, no matter how good they are, they are still human and humans make mistakes. Know everything and be your child's greatest advocate.
Research, Research, Research
After diagnosis, it is time to research the illness. You should know everything about the illness, but remember to take care when reading negative statistics. You do not want anything you read to make you lose faith and become negative. A surgeon, whom I admire dearly, once pointed out that it does not matter what statistics say because even if the statistics are great, that does not mean that your child is on the good side of the statistics. You must focus on your child because no child is the same. So in other words, do not allow your mind to become consumed with negative thoughts simply because you come across something negative. God is in control and you must remember that.
Utilize available resources
There are a million resources available to cancer patients and their families. Take time to research these and familiarize yourself with them early. You social worker should be your best friend because they know about what's available to help you make this journey as easy as possible. One major resource that I did not learn about until about six months after the start of chemotherapy was that hospitals have in-house charities to assist families with paying hospital debt. There is also assistance that can be obtained for parking, meals, travels, and so much more. Many of these resources are listed in the binders and manuals that families are provided with at the beginning of care. After the initial devastation sets in, read the manual. It definitely helps.
Keep a binder with all of your child's medical information
Once a child is diagnosed with cancer, they will have to deal with it for the rest of their lives. It is important that you keep copies of all of your child's medical records to assist with their care. Even if your child is cancer free, there may come a day when they need to share their medical history. Giving your child that binder will not only tell them their testimony, but will help them understand all that they have gone through.
Hydration is key
Anti-cancer drugs can be extremely hard on the body. You never know what side effects your child will have to the drugs until after they have already received them. One of the drugs given to my child ruined the lining of his bladder, and caused him to bleed and have extreme pain every time he urinated for about two weeks. The cure to this was simply administering his medications differently and hydrating him for at least 6 hours prior to receiving chemotherapy. Of course there was no way to know that the chemo would affect him the way it did, but what I did learn is that hydration is important.
Keep the norm as much as possible
It is important that you keep your child's life as close to normal as possible. Of course the term normal will never take on the same meaning as it previously did, but the key is to make sure that you allow your child to still be a kid. Do not burden your child with unnecessary worry, and never treat them as if they are sick. If you do, they will be sick. Make sure that you do your best to keep your child active. We would take our son for rides on his IV pole, on the bike, or in the wagon if he was not feeling well. Yes, we were only walking the halls of the cancer floor, but we were staying active. Our first chemotherapy visit was filled with days of living in our pajamas, sleeping all day, and feeling sad and sick. We finally decided that no matter what, we would set a schedule and keep up normal activities such as eating breakfast, brushing teeth, getting dressed, visiting the play room, doing puzzles, painting, watching movies and bathing. It is easy to get withdrawn while in the hospital. Keep your child busy. It will keep them happy and help them heal.

2015 Result:
Conservative: 16692 (33.7%)
Labour: 16156 (32.6%)
Lib Dem: 644 (1.3%)
Independent: 79 (0.2%)
Others: 275 (0.6%)
Category: Three-way Marginal
Geography: South East, Essex. Part of the Thurrock council area.
Main population centres: Grays, Purfleet, Tilbury, South Ockendon, Chadwell St Mary.
Profile: An industrial and largely working class seat on the Thames Estuary, at the far southern corner of Essex. The seat contains the major container port of Tilbury and Tilbury power station and the industry of Purfleet, which is home to Esso and Unilever factories. It is a white working class seat, but also has more affluent areas like the recent Chafford Hundred development near the large Lakeside shopping centre. The seat also contains the northern end of the Dartford Crossing over the Thames.
Politics: This used to be a safe Labour seat, but has trended towards the Conservatives over the years. It was first won by the Tories in 1987, but held for just a single term before being won back by Labour. It became a marginal by 2005, and in 2010 it was won by the Conservatives on the narrowest of margins. In 2015 it was a primary target for UKIP, resulting in one of the closest three-way marginals in the country, with just two percent of the vote separating first and third place.

*There were boundary changes after 2005
The result here in 1992 was very very close between Labour and the Conservatives. I wonder had the defence of Basildon not been such an important priority whether Thurrock could have been held by Janman for another term until 1997.
This is the sort of seat where Ukip could increase its vote especially as the BNP is in disarray.
If Labour can attract back BNP voters and Tories lose voters to Ukip that could be decisive.
Longer term Thurrock is likely to experience the demographic changes that took place in Barking making it ever safer for Labour.
'Longer term Thurrock is likely to experience the demographic changes that took place in Barking making it ever safer for Labour.'
I'd say in the longer term this seat is trending the other way. It used to be a safe Labour seat – with the party hanging on even in their nadir years like 1959 and 1983
Along with Cannock, Dewsbury and Ipswich, this was arguably one of the Tories best results in 2010
The only problem for the Tories is that South Essex as a whole has proved fertile territory for other right-wing groups like KIP, English Democrats and the BNP
No-one doubts that long-term Thurrock has swung to the Conservatives. This is obvious from election results since the 1975 by-election. However, in very recent years the constituency has started to see a significant increase in its (once tiny) non-white population. That's what Glen is talking about. Obviously Labour has to take the seat first (which I think my party probably will), and then we will see if it does start to trend Labour in the years that follow.
I'm not too sure what way the seat is trending. Demographics would suggest moving back over to Labour at the moment but this may change. I imagine it will be marginal for some time with both Labour and Conservatives competitive both locally and nationally. Tim is right that South Essex is proving fertile ground for right wing groups which is hampering Conservative chances in this particular seat.
The priority for Labour will be to get the newly-arrived African population registered to vote. Their numbers increased from about 1,000 to 9,000 between 2001 and 2011 and so are probably over 10,000 now. Turnout probably wouldn't be very high but it could make the difference in such a tight marginal.
I see this seat undergoing similar demographic change to Barking only 15 years behind.
The pace of change may be slower. No Ford factory to close. I also expect immigration to reduce because our economy is struggling.
Labour's got this in the bag. Even if the Tories get the most votes, in the worst of all worlds, Thurrock will go. Dan Byles and Jackie Doyle Price are burnt toast.
Do you have an IQ above 100?
Bob – come clean you are Renie Anjeh aren't you?
I thought he was Euan Blair or Georgia Gould.
Iam an Bob Wilson.
The former Arsenal goalie?
No, funny that. I happen to support Arsenal anyway.
he's tony blah or gordon brown ha ha
@Bob is Renie Anjeh – private boarding school student who is a Tory in denial. He spat his dummy out in Labourlist when his favoured candidate did not win the Labour nomination to be PPC for Bristol West
I think this could be one of UKIP's best seats in 2015
I'd just assumed that Bob was Bob Crowe.:)
I always thought Bob was a Tory plant – designed to discredit Labour
"@Bob is Renie Anjeh – private boarding school student who is a Tory in denial. He spat his dummy out in Labourlist when his favoured candidate did not win the Labour nomination to be PPC for Bristol West"
Apparently so everyone. I am a Tory in denial. I am a private boarding school student and I spat out my dummy on LabourList when his favoured candidate didn't win in Bristol West. I am Renie Anjeh!
Gimme a break, I never went to boarding school, I went to my local comp. I supported Thangham Debonnaire in Bristol West, because Gemma Tumelty only joined Labour Students to get the NUS selection. I am New Labour, through and through not some Labour Students kid who jumped on the bandwagon! I mean jeez, who is this Kokopops guy. What planet is he from?
Back to psephology rather than insults about some random Labour kid or insults about me, I agree with Matt because this will be a good seat for UKIP but then it will be terrible for the Tories. If UKIP rise here, then it will really allow Labour to get a very good majority. Polly Billington is also quite sound, good candidate too.
"I think this could be one of UKIP's best seats in 2015"
I very much agree with this statement. UKIP are not only going to take votes from Tory voters but are also going to attack the strong Labour base here. UKIP done particularly well in the more Labour dominated wards in the local elections last year showing their pull to 'Old Labour' Thurrock voters.
I suspect had Thurrock had county council elections this year, UKIP would have won seats.
Did UKIP win in any of the parliamentary constituencies when you assemble the county council wards earlier this month?
The London Borough and former Metropolitan elections will be interesting because they will be held on the same day as the European elections and should give an indication of UKIP support in London Borough and former Metropolitan constituencies.
Would UKIP be more likely to gain seats in Kensington & Chelsea or Tower Hamlets?
We've had this discussion on another thread Peter, and the answer is yes. There were I think at least 2 parliamentary seats where this was the case, possibly more.
In answer to your question, the answer would be Kensington & Chelsea if one were forced to choose, but almost certainly neither. The Conservative vote in K & C is surely just about the most implacable & immobile in the land. Nor do I think that the sort of Tory demographic which has landed the party some seats in Tower Hamlets – predominantly young, professional, a bit grasping, and obviously urban – is likely to be that moved by UKIP either. The latter party is likely to show much more in Havering, and at a pinch parts of Redbridge & Waltham Forest. Possibly some of the Tory areas in Hillingdon could be swayed by them a bit as well.
There were at least 8 constituencies where UKIP topped the poll but I haven't identified them all yet
"The London Borough and former Metropolitan elections will be interesting because they will be held on the same day as the European elections"
Has that actually been decided yet?
I thought the local elections were going to take place on May 1st next year with European elections on May 22nd. I'd heard that the government were carrying out a consultation on whether to delay the local elections by 3 weeks like Labour did in European elections years, but that no decision had yet been taken. If they do decide to do that they'll need to lay the orders before parliament soon after the summer recess.
The date for the European elections has been moved forward from early June across Europe so that it doesn't clash with the Pentecost weekend which is a public holiday in many catholic countries and is a traditional time for family holidays on the continent. The date has been moved to try and boost turnout.
I don't know what effect it will have on parties like UKIP if the local and European elections are held on different dates 3 weeks apart.
If the date of the local elections was moved to the same day as the European elections then UKIP would gain many more council seats than they would have on the first Thursday in May 2014.
The ideal set up for UKIP and the voting public would be to have the two elections on the same day. It would be cheaper and raise turnout.
But something tells me that Mr W11 will not like that idea too much and will want to have two separate voting days.
If UKIP do well in this seat, there'd be a huge Labour majority.
On the contrary, this is just the sort of WWC seat where UKIP would pick up floating voters (as well as non-voters) who would otherwise be tempted to go to Labour (ie people who had decided not to vote Tory anyway).
I believe this pattern will play out in a number of seats, likely costing Labour seats in some places even if the UKIP surge dies down enough that they don't actually take existing seats from Labour.
I'm loving the kind of complacency exhibited by Labour supporters like Bob. Its the kind of thing that caused them to lose Rawmarsh to UKIP last week
You won't see any over here Pete. I've been around far too long to be complacent. It ain't over till it's over is what I tend to think.
You'll be pleased to know Barnaby that with the exception of being a Labour supporter, I would not classify you in any way as being 'like Bob'
that is a relief certainly. Just checking. 🙂
Is the momentum truly stupendous then?
UKIP need to calm down. By the next election, in many areas people would have forgotten all about them. UKIP will probably have one seat in the House of Commons and if Pete thinks that Rawmarsh was a protest at Rotherham Council, so keep your hair on. If you want to win in the North, all Labour can do is stick a poster of Nigel Farage with his Margaret Thatcher mug and say how he supports more tax cuts for the rich funded by tax rises for the poor, getting rid of the NHS, deeper and faster cuts to public services and is a Thatcherite. But Labour could not care less because in Tory marginals, UKIP is helping them.
UKIP is picking up some votes from Labour, but it is not actually picking up swing votes from the centre ground. It picks up protest votes from Labour, Tory and Lib Dem but the overwhelming majority of their votes come from the Tories. if just 6% of Tories go to UKIP, which is what is predicted then instantly a number of Tory-Labour marginals go to Labour.
The current YouGov polls suggest that Labour's momentum is not stupendous, but pretty good. They are not at all good for the Conservatives who have been in the 20s both today & yesterday. The LDs have stupendously zero momentum.
Now the votes on gay marriage and europe have passed, I hope those polls will act as a warning and we will shortly move to a position where slightly stronger tory ratings earlier in the year resume, and the economy picks up a bit.
I know richard wants a labour government to do long term damage because of some theory it'll force the tories' hand, but his plan is flawed, particularly if the tories split further in opposition circa labour post 1979, or g forbid, they get in again after the economy grows a bit when this government now did all the spade work. This is why I spend time campaigning for what I believe in now. But I do believe in democracy and favour a two party system, so it follows there must be another labour government at some point.
"If you want to win in the North, all Labour can do is stick a poster of Nigel Farage with his Margaret Thatcher mug and say how he supports more tax cuts for the rich funded by tax rises for the poor, getting rid of the NHS, deeper and faster cuts to public services and is a Thatcherite."
1. You seem to be forgetting that Thatcher is dead. Not only would Labour be unable to do what you suggest because it would be in such poor taste, the folk memory of Thatcher is going to fade much more quickly now she's gone.
2. Labour don't seem to know whether they want to encourage or attack UKIP.
3. People aren't going to believe political posters any more. I refer you to airbrushed posters of both Mr Cameron and Mr Blair detailing famously broken promises.
"Now the votes on gay marriage and europe have passed, I hope those polls will act as a warning and we will shortly move to a position where slightly stronger tory ratings earlier in the year resume, and the economy picks up a bit."
The votes on those issues haven't passed.
Gay marriage has got to go through the Lords where it is going to have a much tougher time, probably coming back to the commons afterwards.
And how can you seriously think we've finished with votes on Europe. Tory rebels will be conspiring with Labour to hold as many as possible between now and 2015 to cause maximum damage to the Coalition / Cameron.
And UKIP is probably going to get another boost as a result of the appalling events yesterday in Woolwich.
Bob clearly thinks that people in Northern England are stupid. They may all vote Labour like cattle but that does not mean they will do so for evermore. Whether he likes it or not UKIP will continue to be a force in working class places up North (and south for that matter) just as the BNP were a decade or so ago. I think trying to paint Farage as a Thatcher lover would make no difference to their success considering he has said many many times that he admired the former PM. It's that brutal honesty that people like rather than the constant lies told by the main three parties.
Whilst basically agreeing with your post, I think we would find that Nigel Farage is also being less than "brutally honest" on a great many things – certainly the misnomer that leaving the EU and joining a looser EFTA would have much impact on immigration levels or improving our national finances.
But at least for the next few years he won't be in a position to test out the reality of his policies so he'll get an easy ride and will continue to prosper based on the wave of dissatisfaction with the established parties.
Farage knows he does't need detail and as long as he keeps on about immigration and Europe he will continue to pick up votes.
As you have said HH – UKIP will get a boost after the awful events of yesterday as events like these boot the economy and the NHS out of peoples minds and brings the focus back to immigration and multiculturalism.
problem is the nhs(in current from at least) is about to sunk by eu/usa trade agreement that will mean opening up of healthcare but i think labour leadership knows it because they plans have for nhs involve a lot more "home care" well most of that is done my the private/ vol sectors
but this country has a habit of signing up to stuff and not reading the small print
i ment by not my
I think UKIP is likely to pick up working class Tory votes in the north – given that the Tories have never really recovered their previous position.
I do think that Labour has some mileage in focusing on UKIP's economic values and Thatcherite beliefs. There is still little enthusiasm for the free market creed up here in comparison to the south. Of course, UKIP itself is somewhat conflicted as I'm sure many of its members and supporters would certainly be protectionist
I agree with MerseyMike. While Farage has made no secret of his admiration for Thatcher, it's still surprisingly little-known.
While this position will be positively welcomed by many UKIP voters, there are those – many socially conservative former Labour voters and people placing a general anti-establishment vote – who would be put off voting UKIP if they were aware of it.
These are voters who could possibly be won over to vote Labour. And if not, they're as likely to not vote or vote for some random minor party, none of which will hurt the party.
And this line would remind the many Tory and ex-Tory voters who wish Cameron was rather more Thatcherite, and are very unlikely to vote Labour any time soon, that they might wish to keep the right-wing vote split at the next general election.
There were 10 constituencies in total where UKIP topped the poll at the recent local elections. Boston & Skegness was the strongest result, where UKIP topped the poll by a margin of just over 11%.
Full list with margins of "victory":
Boston & Skegness (11.18%)
South Thanet (7.46%)
Bognor Regis & Littlehampton (7.35%)
North Thanet (5.92%)
Sittingbourne & Sheppy (5.70%)
Aylesbury (2.58%)
Great Yarmouth (2.25%)
East Worthing & Shoreham (1.72%)
Forest of Dean (0.90%)
Castle Point (0.32%)

I think all of Doyle Price's hard constituency work could be irrelevant in the end as I'd expect UKIP, the BNP and the Engloish Democrats to do well
If she did hang on it would debunk the myth that only right-wing Tories can win in these gritty, working class South Essex seats but the odds are stacked against her

No one will ever forget the most severe recession in modern times in 2007. When 2010 came around, there were 8.6 million less jobs than at the beginning of the recession… and those numbers could have gone way higher if there weren't growth in health care employment. It actually took until 2014 for non-health job numbers to get back to where they were before the recession.
So far, as of January 2017, there are about 2.5 million more jobs in health care than at the start of the 2007 recession, which is an increase of 19 percent in 9 years (which is pretty good given the population in the U.S. only grew by 7 percent). So far, jobs in healthcare have accounted for 35 percent of all the jobs added since the beginning of the recession. And that number will only grow in the next few years.
But some don't believe this number and growth should be celebrated because the job growth was wasteful and didn't produce a lot of improved health outcomes. Some believe we should have instead invested our saved resources in other ears like education food, shelter, infrastructure and retirement savings.
Many of these new jobs in health care were in ambulatory care settings, which include home health, freestanding clinics, dental offices, physician and other provider offices and labs. In hospitals, jobs grew by 11 percent, with 12 percent in nursing and residential care. Ambulatory care setting rose by 30 percent.From 2007 to 2013, health jobs grew at an average rate of 1.8 percent and then to 2.3 percent between 2013 and 2016. Now an aging population will place pressure on healthcare workforce. Growth in specific areas of health care will be determined in how care is provided to different populations in the future.

The Intimate Landscape
The grand landscape—it's the iconic scenic. Sprawling fields of wildflowers with a dramatic mountain backdrop, beautiful surf lines that lead to prominent sea stacks at sunset, sunrise light that glows on a mountain reflected into a still lake, fog-enshrouded rhododendrons in and amongst the redwoods and more are what many landscape photographers strive to capture. But within that field of flowers, what are the odds of finding a perfectly formed lupine? What are the odds of successfully capturing outgoing surf lines to create a beautiful abstract? If you zoom in to a single peak that's reflected into the calm lake, will it make a great image? For each above question, a wide diversity of additional subjects awaits the discerning landscape photographer. Don't overlook these potential winners. Go beyond the obvious and pick out details to Exhaust All Possibilities.
Aperture Importance
Depth of field is controlled by the focal length of the lens, the distance a subject lives from the background and the working aperture. Since most landscapes are made to reveal sharpness from foreground to background, use a wide-angle lens and stop it down to a small aperture. In the accompanying image, you can easily see what happens if you don't. In the image made at f/5.6, the entire foreground is out of focus. It's not a technically well-executed landscape. In the image made at f/22, the foreground is tack sharp and the viewer's eye transitions from the front to the back in a smooth way.
Using Flash To Highlight Or Bring Out Detail
Many photographers don't associate the use of flash with landscapes. They rely on natural light for numerous reasons. In that I live by my motto, "It's All About The Light," if I can augment ambient light to make my photo better, I do it. In the image made at Yankee Boy Basin in Colorado on an overcast day, I incorporated the use of flash. I used it to illuminate the foreground to give the impression that a shaft of sunlight split an opening in a cloud and added a spotlight to the columbine at the front of the composition. As a result, the delicate floral petals of the columbine have a slight sparkle which adds interest to an otherwise flat lit scene. An added benefit is the greens in the foreground reveal more saturation and the yellows of the sneezeweed are more intense.
Shoot At Night
Over the past couple of years, night photography has become popular. The latest DSLRs allow us to make images at much higher ISOs without the noise and aberrations that were once associated with earlier models. A common subject is the Milky Way and accompanying star points. Another is long exposures where star trails paint the sensor and create a beautiful effect. For my photo of the Milky Way and star points, I went up to a place in Colorado called Windy Ridge. Along the ridge live a number of thousand-year-old bristlecone pine trees. Since the winds are so severe in the area, the trees grow in strange and abnormal shapes. I used a 14mm f/2.8 lens shot at f/2.8 for 30 seconds at ISO 3200. To make star point photos, 30 seconds is the understood maximum duration for an exposure. If you use longer times, the stars start to elongate due to the rotation of the earth. If you've never tried making these kinds of photos, give it a whirl. Get to a place of total darkness on a still night and have fun.
Silhouettes can make very dramatic images especially when clouds erupt in color. They can be conceived whenever the background has much more illumination than the amount of light falling on the subject you want to silhouette. There are a number of situations where this can take place, but my favorite is to offset my subject against a colorful sunrise or sunset. The key to make a great landscape silhouette is to find a formation that's iconic in character, has dramatic shape and unique form and is easily recognizable. True silhouettes show no detail but still stand on their own. They're most successfully produced when the contrast level is high. Expose for the background so the primary subjects go black. When you use a colorful sunrise or sunset as your source of brightness, be sure to monitor your red channel as opposed to the luminosity channel. Warm tones are much more sensitive to being blown out and you don't want to lose precious details in the reds, yellows and oranges.

Created by entrepreneur Howard Coxe, a retired pilot from Trans Jamaica and Crop Culture, as well as a Wood Flooring Contractor. Flavours of the Past is in it's sixth year of operation, a family run business.
Doing business under the brand "Flavours of the Past" our wines are available at select locations.
Flavours of the Past is unique in many ways, but perhaps the most interesting fact is that we make wine in small batches from products that are Jamaican such as, Ackee, Sorrel, Ginger, Pimento Berry, Sugar Cane, Noni, & Passion Fruit, with plans of adding more flavors in the coming years.
Howard didn't plan to be a winemaker. He first began making wine after living in Virginia where he discovered the art of making wine at home in small quantities from fresh fruits such as grapes, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, plums and cherries. So upon returning to Jamaica and recognizing that there was a need for good quality local wines, the wine-making bug hit Howard and he took the plunge.
It's been some ride! We hope you join us for the rest of the journey, and enjoy our wines as much as we enjoy making them for YOU.

Rock N Sock lives! One of the most randomly awesome pairings in wrestling history has to be the Rock and Mick Foley. These two have had some of the best moments in WWE history, whether they're teaming together or facing each other. One of their most famous matches ever was in 2004 against Evolution, and that's worth another look.
Opinion: I love watching these two together. There's something perfect about someone like Foley teaming with a star like Rock. The key thing though is Rock cares about him, despite Foley being so annoying. They've been through the wars together and Rock respects him, even if he'd never admit it.
If nothing else there's this, which is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in wrestling.
Do you think Rock will ever come back to WWE? What is your favorite oddball team? Let us know in the comments below.
