Meet the candidates: Luke Renwick
If elected I will;
– Introduce Recorded Lectures Across Sheffield Hallam University
– Abolish Text Book Costs by creating a Semesterly Book Swap Fair
– Cheaper & More Varied Food at all University Cafes
– Extend Free Printing and Cash Machines to Collegiate
– Introduce Loyalty Cards which reinvest money back into your club or society
Recorded Lectures
- Getting recorded lectures will make it easier for students to go back, make notes, and even revise from past lectures, with research showing that more students end up engaging. This will also make it easier for disabled students to engage with university after the government cuts to Disabled Students Allowance.
Abolish Text Book Costs
- I'll host book swap fairs allowing you to save tonnes of money by swapping your old key text books for the ones that you will need for the next year. In 2010, the National Union of Students said that "the average student spends £1,070 on books, equipment, and so on".
University Cafes
- It's no secret that the costs of café prices can take their toll on our bank balance. I propose that we lobby to extend new café outlets to collegiate campus, make café prices cheaper, and introduce more vegan, vegetarian, dietary and religious food options across all outlets.
Free Printing and Cash Machines at Collegiate
- Seriously…why don't we have this yet!? Vote for me and I'll get this put in place at Collegiate.
Club and Society Loyalty Card
- At the moment, there aren't many incentives to use student union outlets. At the same time, there aren't many quick and easy ways to get funding for your club or society. If I'm elected, I will consult with clubs and societies to create a loyalty card scheme where a percentage of the money spent in SU outlets gets reinvested back into your club or society!
As your current Education Officer I…
– Already reduced food prices and opened 5 new Cafe Outlets
– Organised exam week stress relieving activities such as free head massages, chocolate tasting, yoga session and more!
– Increased fundraising for the student mental health charity 'Student Minds'
– Fought for Sheffield Hallam students' interests at a national level (NUS)
So what are you waiting for?…
Meet the candidates: Theo Nwankwo
Vote THEO for President
~ #IstandwithTheo
"The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been." – Henry A. Kissinger
On resumption at Sheffield Hallam University, it was immediately evident to me, the potentials of how much could be done to craft a fantastic and exciting experience for we students. I joined in several conversations about making a difference and was privileged to have been elected as the 2016/2017 International Students' Representative. Since then, I have been on the practical path of impacting on the lives of students.
Hi, my name is Theo. This year, I am running for the position of President of Sheffield Hallam Students Union and my objectives are geared towards breaking the status quo and creating life-changing opportunities for students. A lot of focus will be placed on the following issues:
Empowering Student Ideas and Businesses
With me as President, we would be building a creative and innovative Students' Union. There would be more student-led projects and businesses in the University. Some of us have great ideas of starting up businesses, or raising funds for charities or showcasing their talents; we would ensure that sustainable platforms are put in place to nurture these ideas and help them to blossom.
Café Spaces
We shall provide spaces/outlets where food will be sold by students at reasonable price. This invariably will also offer variety of food on campus whilst improving the entrepreneurial skills of these students. So whether students are raising money for charity, or improving their business skills, I want to create a Students' Union that supports initiatives; giving students the power to lead projects within the Students' Union.
Enterprise Trainings, Mentorships and Professional Guest Lecturers
There shall be more enterprise and skill development trainings, and also mentorship schemes in partnership with local businesses and business professionals, and sports professionals.
Mental Health and Wellbeing
This remains an important topic in the lives of students at Sheffield Hallam. We will talk the University into improving the operations of student wellbeing service, by reducing the appointment waiting time.We shall strive to provide an effective, comprehensive, and timely responsive mental health and wellbeing service centre at the Students' Union.
All Faculty Reps would be compelled to ensure that faculties institute mental health and wellbeing workshops and trainings for academic and administrative staff and students.
Sports Support
Our sports teams deserve more support. Sports societies require better financial support and funding for logistics and purchase of kits. Sports teams need to be adequately promoted. They are a source of pride to the University and their achievements should be publicised. We would make all that happen.
Continue to Promote Sociocultural Integrations
In 2016 I submitted a policy tagged One Race (see brief details under Policies below), which was passed and an event created around it to promote sociocultural integration amongst all students.
This platform will help students feel more welcome, which will impact positively on their academics, mental health and wellbeing.
Improved Academic Support
Tailored Timetabling
Together we would restructure the academic support provided by the University to fit around students' timetables. This will allow for more students to participate and receive the necessary support they need to excel.
Practically every student is required to make a presentation during their time at Hallam, these presentations form a huge part of our modules. Our lives and future is about making presentations, whether at job interviews, or pitching our businesses, or as public officers, it is therefore pertinent to have adequate skills support on presentations. This we shall endeavour to include in our support programme for the benefit of all students.
Reduce Prices of Items
Having affordable food on campus still remains a top necessity and top of my agenda. We have a business consultancy module in the University that works with the University's Venture Matrix. This module requires students to work on active businesses, to research and develop business models to grow these businesses, just like real world consultants are contracted to do. The process demands extensive research, and the quality of some of the work output from these modules could be revolutionary.
The café and business outlets within the University need to utilize the expertise and commitment of these students to come up with a model that can translate to cheap and affordable meals and items on our campuses.
Equal and Effective Representation
We must have a more inclusive Students' Union. A Students' Union that fully and transparently represents all students irrespective of their background or beliefs. A Students' Union that will promote the participation of all students without any fear of discrimination.
My Experience and Work
International Students' Rep 2016/2017
It was been my privilege to represent 4000+ international students at the Students' Union and create projects that positively impacts on all students in the University.
Projects Completed
- Understanding the difficulties in undertaking research works by students, especially international students, in April 2016; I helped organise a research skills workshop at the University.
- Created platforms to encourage social integration amongst students.
- Organised the first International Students Open Mic Session at the Students' Union.
- Helped organise the 2016 Black History Month and the BME Open Mic Night.
- One Race (Coming March 17th, 2017)
I submitted the following policies to the Union Council;
One race (Submitted and Passed – 2016)
The ONE RACE event will create a platform where students' can work together, to develop a social, educational presentation that integrates several cultures. When students conquer sociocultural challenges, they have a better chance of succeeding in their academics. Being able to interact safely with everyone gives international students a sense of belonging and individual confidence.
TEDxSheffieldHallamUniversity (Submitted and Passed – 2017)
Regarding how powerful a TEDx platform is in sharing ideas and knowledge, I submitted this policy to ensure we have a student-led TEDxSheffieldHallamUniversity that will see the TEDx event hosted annually at the University thereby creating inspiring ideas and thought-provoking conversations amongst students and staff.
With this policy in place, the TEDx event will become part of the Hallam culture, and will enhance the prominence and reputation of the Students' Union and the University.
Personal Contribution
Besides my role, I worked with the Alumni Development team and with a team of students on the Hallam Fund Campaign to raise £73,000 for the University to support students and life changing projects under Bursaries and Transformational Research.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my manifesto, and hope to chat with you all during the elections week.
Meet the candidates: Emma Kitt
Hi, I'm Emma Kitt, I'm a final year Politics student, and the current Women's Representative.
I'm running for President because I'm passionate about improving our university, and have seen the ways in which the student's union can do this.
As President, I would strive to support and represent every student, and make the changes that you want to see. In order to do this I have been asking students what they think the biggest issues are for them on campus, and have identified some myself.
My main policy points are as follows:
- Recording lectures and making them available online.
- Increasing the limit of counselling sessions currently available to students.
- Creating more diversity of thinkers on the core curriculum of traditionally 'male-oriented subjects'.
- Ensuring students feel supported by lecturers after an absence.
- Increasing the amount of vegetarian and vegan options on campus.
- Ensuring the books at each campus library are reflective of the courses of those who are more likely to use that library.
- Removing laundry fees in student halls.
- Implementing a union supported campaign to target sexual harassment throughout Sheffield.
- Creating a time limit of how quickly lecturers need to reply to emails regarding assignments and exams.
- Providing hot water in the libraries overnight.
Recording lectures
Recording lectures is one of the main policies I would like to implement as President. This is something that is important to me, as lectures often make up the majority of sessions on a course, and missing a lecture due to illness can cause students to fall behind, particularly when lecturers add important information during the lecture that is not available on the slides. This would also be a useful revision aid, allowing students to re-watch lectures when necessary, either when they need extra clarification for something, or if they need to refresh their memory. Offering recorded lectures online could also be beneficial for students who have mental health problems, and feel like they are unable to attend a session. By allowing them to access the lectures online, they would be able to stay up to date, without feeling pressured into attending a lecture if they do not feel comfortable to do so.
Counselling sessions
Mental health support facilities are lacking across the UK, and I believe it is our university's responsibility to do more to help students who are suffering. While it's great that our university offers some counselling sessions to students, I would like to see the limit of sessions per student increased, or made unlimited, as some people need more sessions than others, and may feel restricted by only being offered a certain amount.
Introducing more diversity
I am also interested in increasing the amount of diversity on the core curriculums of each subject to ensure course content is not dominated by white male academics, particularly more traditionally 'male-orientated' subjects, such as Politics and the Sciences. This is a project I have started in my role as the Women's Representative, and is a project I would like to continue as President.
Ensuring students feel supported by lecturers
University can be a challenging time, and it may not be possible for some students to attend every timetabled session on their course. I would like to see a system of some kind implemented where if a student returns after a period of absence, this is not remarked upon by a lecturer in front of their peers. This can be a source of embarrassment for students, who are made to feel more guilty about missing sessions, and can cause anxiety about returning to lectures and seminars after a break. If lecturers wish to speak to students about their absence, I believe this should be done in private, as it can be a sensitive issue for some.
Increasing the range of vegetarian and vegan food available
As more and more people are adopting a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, it is disappointing to see that there is not a range of options provided on our university campuses. I would like to implement more food options, so that students can have a variety of choices regarding what they would like to eat, and not be confined to the only available option.
Book placements in the libraries
I would also like to identify whether the books on each campus are reflective of the courses based on those campuses. Often it seems like the required reading is on the opposite campus, and this can be an issue when working to tight deadlines. Therefore I would like to analyse which courses require which books, and see whether any can be moved to a more suitable location.
Removing laundry fees in student halls
Rent prices for student halls are known to be over-priced, and students are often unable to cover the costs with just their loans. It seems absurd that students renting a room in halls – often for around £30 more per week than those renting houses – are unable to use the washing machines for free. Leeds University have become the first university in the country to offer students 20 'credits' for around 20 free washes per year in university-owned halls. It is estimated that students may spend between £50-£100 per year on washes alone, and with rent prices constantly rising, having to pay this extra fee for the washing machines is causing issues for students who already cannot afford their accommodation. This is a policy I would like to be seen initiated in the halls around Sheffield, with aims to lobby big companies such as Unite to implement a free credit-based system.
Union supported campaign against sexual harassment
Introducing a campaign against sexual harassment is another policy I have begun looking into throughout my role as Women's Representative, and one which I feel is more important than ever. In my first year at university, I saw flyers around our students' union advertising the 'Good Night Out' campaign, which allowed students unions, bars, and nightclubs to sign up to the pledge that sexual harassment would not be tolerated on their premises. I am interested in reintroducing a similar campaign, working alongside local businesses, bars, and nightclubs around Sheffield, to ensure that students feel safe wherever they go. I would also like to follow in the footsteps of some bars across the country that have gained attention for their introduction of a policy which allows people feeling unsafe to tell a member of staff using a code word, who will ensure that they can safely leave the premises if they feel threatened. I think this is such a great idea, and would really like to see it implemented in Sheffield, supported by our students' union.
Email response time
University can be a stressful time, made a lot easier by ongoing support from lecturers who are on hand to help with any problems we have. However, when working to deadlines, it can be frustrating and difficult for students when they do not receive answers from their lecturers. While lecturers are understandably very busy, and reply when they have time, I have seen times when students have waited several weeks for a response. This can halt work progress, particularly if a student needs help regarding an assignment and cannot proceed without this help. Therefore I would like to implement a reasonable response time in which lecturers need to respond to students. Provisionally I would like to make this as ten working days, however I plan to speak directly to university staff to ensure that this is a reasonable request, and would be happy to adjust this response time accordingly.
Hot water in the library
During the exam and assignment periods, the library is an important place for all of us. While it is good to have hot water in the library, I would like to introduce this as a 24-hour policy, for those of us who prefer to use the library overnight.
I would like to be your student's union president because I care about the wellbeing of every student at this university, and would love to have the opportunity to improve it in any way I can. If there are any other issues that you believe need addressing, please contact me about them so that I can add them to my policy list. This is important to me because this role is not about what I think is best; it is about representing what every student needs changing or improving to ensure they get the best experience out of Sheffield Hallam.
If you have any further questions about my campaign or my policies, you can email me on firstname.lastname@example.com, I would love to hear your thoughts!
Thank you for reading this and please vote Emma Kitt for #1!
Meet the candidates: Ireoluwa Akinfisoye
Securing a brighter future full of opportunities.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is uncertain of the future, I don't have a clear plan of what I want to do for the rest of my life and I don't have a career planned out. But I feel like many of us share this feeling.
I want to help everyone to be sure that they're not alone in this, there are plenty of opportunities and prospects for us as Sheffield Hallam students, a lot of which I don't think are presented to us well enough.
I want to develop and progress our links with local and national industries and provide opportunities for students with employers. Industry experience is so vital, although there is an effort, I don't think the Uni currently does enough and I want to change that. I want to take advantage of the great links Hallam already has with various industries. Why can't we use these links and have them not only come in and provide workshops/talks etc, but also show employers that Hallam has great students with a fantastic ethos that would be an amazing asset to their businesses.
University should be fun, it should be a great experience, not just academically. Sometimes it feels like there's only a buzz around varsity, but once a year isn't good enough, I would love the chance to be able to create a varsity buzz all year round.
We can have a positive future, everyone to be included, a sense of belonging and community at the University.

Intake 56/08
at the Two Tubs Bury
I went to the Two Tubs in Bury today to meet up with the lads above they where intake 56/08 not 2008, but 1956 intake 8 they where celebrating 50 years since demob. They are from left to right Tommy Dey, Alan Lambert, Vinni Synnott, Peter Lord and John Tyson. I took along the photos of their time which was Bury in 1956 then Iserlohn, and Cyprus, and then stories came out Peter Lord was the battalion plumber in Cyprus which was great he said as there was not much work for him as they where in tents in Cyprus, Vinny Synnott was the Battalion sign writer. and who's name came up first Kitner Price and a couple of stories about him, Shab Burrows, and Drummy Robinson where also mentioned , I could not stay long as I had to go to work I left them eating Tatty Ash given to them by the owner of the Two Tubs. They are going to let me have photos of their time in the LF's and hope to meet up again with other from that intake on Minden Day at the Barracks

Joe Goode Performance Group
Joe Goode Performance Group (JGPG) promotes understanding, compassion and tolerance among people through the innovative use of dance and theater, as interpreted by the artistic vision and work of Joe Goode.
In Goode's words:
We want to be a site for innovation, to take dance theater out of the traditional theater setting and to place it in a more living, breathing relationship to the viewer.
In 1979, Joe Goode began synthesizing a genre of dance theater that combined text, gestures, and humor with deeply physical, high velocity dancing. In 1986, JGPG incorporated with the mission of providing a support structure for Goode's artistic work. Over the past 26 years JGPG has performed annually in the San Francisco Bay Area and has toured throughout the United States. JGPG has appeared in Canada, Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa. During a history of creating new work he has been alternating between proscenium work and walk-through, multimedia performance installations as a way to open audiences' minds to the limitless potential of where and how dance theater can be experienced. Joe Goode has been recognized nationally and internationally as an innovator in the development of contemporary dance theater.

Tried these, and absolutely loved them. We had a bad experience with sage when I was younger, my dad made us this chicken and sage creation, that was so overpowered by dry sage it was pretty much inedible. Anyway it put us off sage for a very long time, so when Charlene from Teacher by Trade, Mother by Nature mentioned that there was a blogging challenge over at #NZBloggers and the first topic to write about was the word sage, I knew I had to do a recipe to try and redeem it. Glad I did because these were absolutely delish.
Pork and Sage Burgers - makes 8 burgers
1 kg of pork mince
1 medium Granny Smith Apple
1 medium red onion
6 tablespoons bread crumbs (I used the coarse store bought ones)
1 packet of sage (just from the grocery store - or a bunch if you grow it at home)
salt and pepper
Grate the onion and apple together, and add to the pork mince, add the bread crumbs, and combine. Finally add the finely chopped sage, salt and pepper, and mix together.
Roll into 8 balls and form burger patties (I made my patties in advance, and left them to sit in the fridge for a few hours).
To cook, brown on both sides in a frying pan, and then cook in the oven at 180 degrees until done. (Mine took about 25 mins).
Serve on Ciabatta buns with caramelized onion and skinny fries
If you are not already - follow me here and keep up to date with what I get up to!

My last assignment was encouraging, clearly showing my improvement. But was told to use the coursework as a guide not literally. Assignment five has allowed me freedom to develop (as there is little course structure) enabling me to produce stronger work from sketches
The initial idea using witchcraft was naive and not a good choice, due to lack of source material. So I thought of associated ideas which produced mushrooms. This led to the discovery of the microscopic world and the butterfly tongue. Having studied Biochemistry and my interest in viruses, this seemed the right path to choose.
Dutch for butterfly is called Flinder, which sounds magical, reminding me of the delicacy of the butterfly. I wanted to convey this in fabric and to use embroidered voile only. But felt that it did not fit in with the waistcoat design as too flimsy.
I thought about what I perceive as a butterfly. A very delicate pretty and almost magical creature. Although under the microscope it changes and becomes almost alien like. So maybe a mysterious feel would be an interesting concept. And maybe a change from the gold to silver would convey delicacy.
Research on the internet showed varieties of butterflies. My aim was to emulate iridescence of the wings. In doing this my knowledge of colour combinations has expanded.
'The poem below seems to fit the chosen theme.
It can clearly be visible to the sight of a man.
Not with the eyes but through the act of seeing.
It can be of two kinds; know them if you can.
First the unseen world after death is surely for all being.
Then the unseen world here on earth dwells in our mind.
That world full of glimmering light can make us confused.
Learn to deal with that world if you want to be kind.
And dealings with your own mind mustn't be abused.
It also is of two kinds- the world in mind I mean.
One comes from heaven and one from the hell.
Learn to see both of them though they're unseen
Learn to fight the conflict, even not ringing the bell.
Now open your mind by closing your eyes.
See the unseen world within you which lies.
Written on the Evening of the 15th February,2010

Referring back to the Butterfly tongue, I carefully thought about the coiled shape.Replicating this accurately wasn't easy as it lost its uniformity, so adapted the spiral and use the 'mistakes' to design. I found sacred spirals from geometry which helped, but was still not correct.
I had more success with manipulating fabric into circles. Butterflies tend to be used extensively from children's clothing to curtains. I wanted to change the perception of a butterfly. I tried draping material on a tailors dummy to see what the effect was. By manipulating the material I achieved a variety of designs and served as a construction tool to decide whether to use on the end product.
A useful tool was mind mapping as it was useful in organising my thoughts.
The butterfly's shape produced a number of interesting designs which differ in qualities, whether colour, texture or composition. i feel this has been an effective exercise and by using Photoshop has enabled me to produce images quickly rather than one image on paper that has to be redrawn each time.
Further exploration using the wing of the butterfly showing tonal values, within the work. I was inspired by this and allowed me to be creative and translated well into stitch. i am beginning to see how this experimentation in essential in the design process. Colour balances were altered, although these colours would not be in the final piece.
By changing the coloured images to black and white, changed the whole 'feel' of the image.
A butterfly wing has been manipulated by Photoshop and shows an almost comic like feel to the images. This is something that i would like to explore further.
An image of a butterfly was taken from the internet, and changed from what we all know to a surrealist picture. which i feel i have achieved.
By using the butterfly as a whole i wanted to alter it so that it wasn't recognised as the preconceived idea everybody recognises. I this I achieved this
Butterfly scales on the wing were not what i expected them to be. But produced some images that reminiscent of children's illustration. for example Hansel and Gretel and being in the woods. The series of photos aided by decision of how to approach the machine embroidery. it wasn't exact by how the drawing is perceived. the results of this were better than expected.
Time lapse photos were used to show progression of an image.
By zooming in on the tongue, the image showed a texture not previously seen. by using this textural picture translated well into textiles. Careful consideration was given to the base fabric and enhanced the overall result.
various shapes were used and was particularly useful in placement of the design which was determined by the shape used.
The shape within a shape was extremely useful in showing areas that as a whole were lost, also it is useful in placement of a design which is determine by the shape used. Waistcoat drawings showed varying possibilities through pattern, colour or texture.
My tutor said in the beginning that she was concerned that I hadn't produced enough drawings in my sketchbook, to be able to choose from. This has been addressed, giving a huge variety of ideas and have evolved quite easily. By using this has allowed me to discover new things and broaden my horizon. However it was found some of that the drawings wouldn't work with this technique. More work is needed in trying different mediums, however some i don't like handling, such as charcoal.
Colour is problematic to me, but having looked at a variety of butterflies colour combinations has enabled me to progress in how I see the 'actual' colour not what i think it is.
This poem describes colour perfectly.
Color and the Soul: "Color directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposively, to cause vibrations in the soul."(Anon, 2012)
An experiment with monoprint gave an interesting texture. I found this quite easy to do and also very quick to do. This is something to be explored at a later date. Texture within my drawings has been difficult as some of the drawings appeared flat in design making me look at various textures around the house.
Having laid out all of my work I was aware how useful the exercises undertaken were to the design process. Research on the Internet has shown a diversity previously not considered.
The strongest technique that emerged from my samples was machine embroidery, as it's a freer way of working and comes easy to me. I like the unpredictability of the fact, no two stitches are the same, so couldn't be replicated easily and is therefore bespoke. Hand embroidery was considered and a few samples made, but found this to be time consuming. However i do like this.
Using machine embroidery, I did find that it hindered the creative flow and it was difficult to keep to a pattern. By adapting the way I was working, it allowed freedom to create straight from my head.
Having used my sewing machine for over 30 years, I never realised the potential it had creating things, apart from dressmaking. My machine has been used for creating embroidery before, however discovered an array of things to try. I was quite pleased with this outcome, resulting in some interesting work. And found the direction I wish to go.
Previously having looked at the work of Annemieke Mein has encouraged me to pursue machine embroidery. The work I have produced is rudimentary in comparison and want to aspire to this level of expertise. It has also led me to research the designers. Suggested materials from my tutor, although interesting, were not a direction I wish to pursue.
Personal inspiration came from my grandmother and her reworking of clothing. I also made all of my children's costumes and have always enjoyed this work.
Experimenting in this way was a useful exercise in determining what technique to use for the final project.
Some samples showed interesting ideas, either by design or in some cases by accident. For example, one was missing the backing, ruching the fabric a useful exercise in construction. An interesting discovery, but irritating to have done it wrong. Some samples were flawed in their design, so were discounted. However it would serve as a reference for future projects.The experiments done were circular small scale samples, allowing numerous ideas to evolve quickly. Whilst some were time consuming, this allowed a decision to be made on the final composition.
The samples needed edging to improve the appearance. Cotton was the best example of this. The voile did not turn out the way expected and ruffled the material, showing fluidity of the fabric, resonating with the gentleness of the butterfly. I did try burning the edges, but found it volatile proving to be dangerous and needs consideration so when making a garment flame resistant fabrics should be considered.
I tried numerous ideas but the technique that emerged from all of the samples was machine embroidery. This was the most successful.
Fabric scraps were over sewn randomly with machine embroidery using contrasting thread producing a 'new' piece of fabric.however by using scattered scraps rather than a base fabric which made myself more work.
Doing this shows layer diversity and would not convey delicacy, it is thicker in places than others. Despite this the fabric shows depth.I found this to be very successful, however due to the nature of the pieced fabric, some areas were thicker than others adding to the surfaces texture.
The brief discourages discarding the debris of an work undertaken. As a pagan, I am environmentally aware and feel strongly about waste, so save all scraps and threads from projects leading to a more cost effective way of working.
The pictures below show manipulation of wool oversewn with gold thread and manipulated into a circle. I had an idea of created a 'piece' of fabric made up of numerous circles. however felt it was wrong for the final design. This needs further work, as could be quite innovative.
Sample of drawings
Various mediums (such as crayon, chalk etc.) were used showing tonal values and texture.
3D shape allowing me to see dimension within a shape. By drawing these allows us to visual how the end product might look like. In the second picture, i wanted to take the general shape of the coil, but totally alter the end result. I am particularly drawn to these and feel they stand out from the rest of my work. In the third picture, i wanted to play around with composition and loosely chose elements of the coil.
I wasn't quite sure in which direction i wanted to go. But I had an idea of doing a functional piece, a waistcoat.
However, if it were to be waistcoat, what purpose would it be used for? Would it be for evening or day wear. This would have an impact on the construction and what materials used. But not necessarily surface design.
The drawings show various possibilities, some that were good and others that didnt.
The next idea was to do a soluble fabric vase. This however was discounted for the product as the fabric taken from the internet, was too flimsy for what i wanted to achieve. However many of the designs were kept as i found it was useful for shape compositions.
A series of drawings using red and blue biro and highlighting with gold. This is something that I enjoy doing. I am constantly doodling, as it declutters my head.
But one thing that emerged, when looking through my work, the doodles are too complicated and need simplifying. Most image involve swirls or circles, which resonates with the theme chosen, as I find square edges, harsh in design and hampers the drawing.
Therefore, elements were chosen from various drawings, and overall this choice fits in with the theme. Scale was a consideration when drawing, and explored various sizes. But feel I need to do more work on this. The drawings generated from my chosen subject were easy to do and translated well into the samples. Many of which were time consuming, but this assisted my final decision.
I was originally going to make a soluble fabric bowl, but decided not to as the fabric was too flimsy. Also it was the easiest option and wanted to push myself.
I made a sculpted collar blouse, but this did not go to plan as I rushed the whole process and was not happy with the design. It was useful in highlighting that the design process should not be rushed. So gave careful thought to what I wanted to achieve. I am generally an impatient person, so have to be more mindful and research further which is invaluable for development.
The first design was based on a waistcoat pattern. However, having cut out everything realized one of the pieces were missing, so settled on the second pattern which proved to be the better choice.
A dress made and not worn was deconstructed for the material. But I hadn't taken into account there wasn't enough, which was frustrating and an invaluable lesson learnt. When starting in future, I must make sure all materials are to hand.
Having researched waistcoat design found the basic shape hasn't altered drastically since the 1600's, however the length of the waistcoat did shorten. In the 17th and 18th century, they were highly decorated (with spangles, silk and silverwork) and were very bright, worn mainly by women. Waistcoats worn by the peasants were simpler, practical and coarser than the ones worn by the upper classes.
I decided that the piece should be functional. But I needed to decide whether it is Traditional or modern?
I decided that if it were to be heavily embroidered, it was best suited to the evening. As it was embroidered it would better to have a plain background and need to compliment rather than contrast. However I think there are elements of both in the waistcoat.
I got quite carried away with this, as i really enjoyed this part of the course and feel it reflects in my work.
Consideration firstly was given to the base structure (faux velvet and satin) which would show the luminescence of the wings, adding richness overall and creates special qualities. However the slippery surface of the velvet was difficult to sew, having not tacked first. The embroidery threads chosen also needed to compliment rather than contrast. The source material was limited, and was going to alter the theme, but decided to keep this idea.
The front collar would have to be plain as the embroidery would have been lost.
I had thought to use a two tone opposing pattern as I wanted to balance the design, but decided against this, as the embroidery would not have the effect desired. Machine embroidery had a number of possibilities for development, by trying different stitches, tensions and designs. By altering the images changed the way I wanted to approach the final design and gives me the enthusiasm to master machine embroidery.
The pattern showed buttonholes which I have yet to master, so changed to hooks and eyes. Although they are functional would have preferred buttons.
Although various fabrics were looked at, was drawn back to the original and the more appropriate for the design overall
The moodboard for the box helped with narrowing down choices of material, thread and colour, as I found the choice a little overwhelming. However, my colour perception of what I see in my drawings and how to use them has increased immensely from the first, somewhat naïve project.
Having looked at work done so far it was decided that the colour choice had to be narrowed down. My preference were turquoise, gold blue and purple and different tones of these. It is felt that this needs more exploration.
Draping fabric over a tailors dummy showed that by manipulating fabric various design could be fashioned.
firstly the outer part of the garment was stitched and put on tailors dummy. at each stage of the design, this was used often. i wanted to make sure it 'sat' well.
The colour of the waistcoat was manipulated to see if this would fit in with the work to be produced. Colour was played around with to see what the effect would be, giving very different results. I was extremely pleased with the effect a colour change would give.
This is the final design using burgundy velour, with three different colours of net embellished with machine embroidery.
I got carried away with the process and made a box. Having asked my daughter for her opinion said i was quite capable of making a waistcoat and to think outside of the box. I did take it as criticism as i have with some of my tutors feedback, however I gave consideration to how peoples opinions are diverse. So learnt from this advice and literally made a box.
The box ideas was useful in showing a 3D effect. But posed problematic in its construction as i hadn't considered that by using separate card inserts would prove to be unstable. I addressed this by using one piece of card, which added to the rigidity of the structure.
Once this had been done, I had to consider whether the stitch work would be machine embroidery or hand. The majority of it was machine stitched, but decided to add hand stitch sparingly. However i had to decide when enough was enough, I didn't want to overwork at this stage.
I was happy with the design process. However, if I were to change anything, I would experiment more with machine stitching. i was told to do a cartoon prototype, but felt this hind
Whilst researching, I discovered Su embroidery. A traditional hand technique that is unique in the way the picture can be seen both sides and is something that could be explored. This is something that i would like to research more and attempt.
The waistcoat produced fulfilled all the criteria of design, materials and pattern, and overall was extremely pleased. Attention to detail was my priority, removing threads and ironing for maximum effect.
Doing the process, I had asked for advice, but made me doubt my abilities.
I feel that I have achieved a high standard within my work, in the waistcoat and the box. The latter being preferred. Initially the box design was not thought out properly and fell apart. I would have saved time if I had thought of this before constructing.
Looking back at the work as a whole made me realise how much I have improved and become more aware of all the elements of designing, colours, texture, composition etc. And is now reflective in clothing choices and in adapting clothing for my personal tastes.
I do find it difficult to manage my time, and needs to be worked at. If it were to be commissioned then I would have time limits. I find myself constantly doodling for further ideas and take a notebook to bed do some before going to sleep. I find it therapeutic.
I have found in this assignment that my drawings have improved from the naive first assignment.

One of the gotchas for Extension Methods is that it's legal to call them on Null References. This isn't really surprising when you think about the feature. Boiled down to a fundamental level, extension methods are just syntactic sugar for calling a static method and automatically passing the first parameter [1]. However it can catch the unwary off guard.
The two items that are a little bit different between calling an Instance vs Extension method on a null reference is
- The exception (if thrown) will be at the method site instead of the call site. Not really an issue because you can just jump down the stack frame.
- There may not be an exception thrown. As long as you don't actually use the extension method target, the code will not necessary throw[2]. For instance consider the following code
<Extension()> _ Public Function IsNothing(ByVal o As Object) As Boolean Return o Is Nothing End Function Sub Test() Dim x As String = Nothing Dim b = x.IsNothing() ' b = True End Sub
This is legal and will not throw. However I don't recomend that you write it.
[1] Then again you could also claim that instance methods are just syntactic sugar for calling static methods without having to pass this/Me as the first parameter.
[2] In some ways this is similar to C++. C++ doesn't do NULL reference checking automatically (it waits for you to access data on a NULL reference and then crashes if you're lucky). If you call a method on a NULL pointer but don't actually access any member variables, it will likely run fine.

Coming back to the Netherlands with a partner, can I apply for the 30% ruling again if I find a job?
I was employed in the Netherlands in 2007 and was granted the 30% ruling. In 2009, I was made redundant and I left to go back to my country of origin. In 2012, I came back as a partner of a highly skilled migrant and this year, 2013, I found a job. My question is, can I still benefit from the 30% ruling?
An important requirement of the 30% ruling is that you are an incoming employee. This means that you come to the Netherlands for a specific job. In your case you came to the Netherlands as a partner of an incoming employee but not as an incoming employee yourself. Because of this you do not qualify for the 30% ruling anymore. Finding a job doesn't change this.

5-0 pattern still driving EURUSD for bullish. EURUSD rose by nearly 130 pips from the final point D. At the moment it is just 20 pips away from the supply zone. This support zone is in fact very important milestone for EURUSD. Depending on if the zone is penetrated or not, the outlook of EURUSD will differ quite a lot too.

Some pieces of information to include in a friendship letter are your recent activities, your current goals, your hobbies and tidbits about your location. Mention pets and family members and consider enclosing a photo of yourself or your home. Always greet your friend with a polite salutation and conclude with a warm closing, perhaps adding that you will write again or that you wish to see them soon.
A friendship letter is a method to establish a new friendship, including pen pals, or to reaffirm pre-existing friendships. If writing to a potential pen pal, include the return address to make it easier for him to write back. If the letter is to an old friend, bring up shared memories and experiences, such as how you met, attending school together or spending time at work.
Hobbies to discuss often include favorite crafts, books, music, cooking and sports. If either participant attends school, write about the subjects under study. Always ask questions of your friend, giving him content to write about in return. His own hobbies, goals and activities make good topics. Local traditions, culture and upcoming holidays can be interesting topics for discussion as well as an avenue to learn more about the world.

Is it possible to restore my iPhone without a screen?
Recently someone gave me their old white 16 GB iPhone 3gs without a screen because it was broken. I plugged it in and it seems to be working fine but the previous owner's password is still on it and I can't seem to find a way to do anything without the screen. Is there any way I could restore it or something without a screen?
Is this a good question?

The second part of Hell's Kitchen finale airs tonight on Fox. After three months, we'll get to find out this season's winner. Who do you think will it be? Will it be Justin, who have only been nominated once the entire season? Is it going to be Christina, who have never been nominated even once?
Last week, Christina won the first challenge so she was able to pick her teammates. She chose Dana, Patrick, Kimmie and Robyn in her team while Justin chose Barbie, Brian, Royce and Clemenza. At the end of last week, Clemenza walked out when Justin told him to leave if he doesn't feel he wants to be there. Will he ever be back?
Christina just want to have fun and put her fate in her teammates, telling them not to call her chef since she won't answer. One of the chefs instead told her she's going to call her biatch. Will that work for her and the other chefs?
Meanwhile, choosing Robyn might not do Christina good for her team, as she tends to be careless and ahve an attitude according to her. But why did she choose her instead of Barbie?
Dana is also having a hard time with scallops and halibut. Will these two be the reason for Christina's failure in winning this season?
Over in Justin's team, will everything go well? Who will Chef Ramsay announce as this season's winner? Any predictions? Do these two deserve to be on the show tonight?
Anyway, my prediction is Christina will be this season's winner. How about you?
Follow us on Twitter, add us on Google Plus or join us on Facebook for updates on tonight's episode. Find out who's the winner of Hell's Kitchen's September 10, 2012 finale.
Update: Christina wins Hell's Kitchen! Details will be posted later!

So we awoke up after the big fight, healed our wounds as best we could and then set out to explore the rest of the dungeon. The first room was empty and yielded only some low level loot, the next was completely empty. The third however was anything but empty.
Working with Amber we were able to disable the locks and traps on the door. Then I pushed it open expecting it to be empty like the first two and found myself looking at two angels. Since I had no weapon out and was completely unprepared I backed up and let the others charge in. Once I got a chance to down a potion of Bull's Strength and draw my swords I joined the fray. The angels turned out to be trumpet archons as one kept changing his sword into a trumpet and vice versa. When he blew the trumpet the first time I was suddenly frozen in place. It seemed like eternity but it was only a few moment and then I could move again. Just in time for him to blow it again and freeze me again. I unfroze just as the first one went down and then the second went down before I could actually get to it. The room had basically the same loot as the first one so really not worth the effort.
After what happened with the angels I made sure I was prepared as we approached the next door. I was all set for a battle when we opened the door. Unfortunately the room was empty. Completely empty. So much for being prepared.
We followed the corridor and came to a room with a large table in the center. The table appeared to have a map of the entire complex on it. This was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately there was a large rather angry looking angel on the other side of the table. Amber and the sorcerer chick went into the room first. As soon as they got in though their was what felt like an earthquake and parts of the ceiling started falling on us. I managed to dodge it but the sorcerer and Torrien weren't quite so quick and got stuck under the rubble. Unfortunately for Amber she was now alone in the room with the angel. The angel hit her with some sort of stun spell and down went Amber.
We helped getting the slow ones out from under their rubble piles and went after the angel. She was far away so I turned invisible and started moving around to flank her. Torrien and Kerd went righter him but after a short time the angel stunned Kird just like she had stunned Amber. I managed to get behind her and got in a few good whacks. Unfortunately she moved towards the stunned Kird so I couldn't get in there and flank her.
About this time I noticed a small hallway nearby and decided to move towards it to block off her escape. With the battle raging I didn't have time to check for traps though. Bad idea. As soon as I stepped into the hallway some sort of trap went off and everything went black and silent. When site and sound finally came back the angel was down and Rhomus was standing over the body. Evidently when the trap went off he just charged in and set off a negative energy burst. Pretty gutsy but it worked.
We grabbed a key off of the dead angel and went through the door at the end of the hallway. On the other side of the door was what was obviously the angel's office. It was painted to give the impression of being outdoors. Judging by the others reactions it was pretty good. I though far prefer the underground to the outdoors. We went through the office and came up with some sort of shiny feathered shield. It was obviously masterwork but besides that we wouldn't really tell much about it.
After we finished looting the office we settled in for a rest. Most of us were pretty beat up and the magic users had to recharge their spells. We have a map of the dungeon now though so that at least should make the rest of the dungeon easier and less deadly to navigate.

On January 17th, a group of individuals braved the thick fog to learn how to renovate older fruit trees from Dr. Kent Mullinix of Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
We had lots to learn and a wonderful apple tree to work with at London Farm.
Here's a bit of what we learned:
Fruit trees, especially apples & pears have a tendency to produce fruit way up high, on the outer edges of the canopy where sunlight reaches the leaves. This creates a virtual "dead zone" in the middle of the tree where sunlight can't get through and where not fruit are produced.
Tree Before - Lots of big wood and branches that cross over each other
Three reasons to prune mature trees
1. Increase sunlight interception and movement through the canopy. Big wood can intercept a large % of sunlight and does nothing for fruit production.
2. Provide ease of operation - being able to pick lower down and get ladders into the tree.
3. Stimulate new growth
There are primarily two kinds of cuts
Heading cuts - cutting into a stem, usually into new season growth, between nodes which stimulates bud breakage and new growth
Thinning cuts - pruning a branch back to its source which is done primarily to allow more light to come through or to get rid of a branch that is growing in the wrong direction or shading other branches.
Single Leader Pruning
We used this system on the tree at London farm so that each branch had just one leader and the ones left were less vigorous, fruiting branches
Tree after - a big change but one that will stimulate new growth
Tip: Try to make sure no branch is less than 3 ft from the one above or below so that they aren't competing for light.

If you need to do get involved in the voting procedure, you can receive a free Whispers from the Previous Gods card pack when the tournament is really underway.
But they have this difficult type of environment your attack and health point they can do both equally on offense, like buffing their 1/1s, or on protection for weakening enemy minions. I imagine that's a play factor that Paladins reach do, they reach be fantastic at that, which makes them enjoyable to play in a special solution to other classes.
On the other hand, in predicaments the place all potential trades about the board are more or significantly less equivalent, attacking your opponent's face to produce force and assert yourself as the aggressor is usually more effective. Often, the correct way To guage a turn is to think about attacking your opponent's Hero, then ask yourself just what the punishment is for doing this.
The mid-game Mana curve will generally spike out at around four Mana Expense, as nearly all classes have extremely effective course cards concentrated within the mid-game, which will let you build card advantage and choose board control.
Picking your class will around determine your play fashion, based on the prevalent class cards available to your course and also the influence of your Hero Electricity over the board/game. The starting picks with the draft are more likely to determine your deck's tempo, as you'll be picking cards primarily based on their value and their effect on the board.
By way of example, a mage with no minions that top rated-decked a Flamestrike in opposition to a full board of low-Health minions could well be very lucky. Even so, when they ended up dealing with an individual Grommash Hellscream, they would likely be hoping to draw a Polymorph, and may discover a Flamestrike to be of minimal use.
Your starting off picks should often be selected dependent on their own value, despite their Mana Price. Employing our Arena Card Ranking Spreadsheet will help you make the best preference while in the early phases with the draft, but you might want to retain in mind that as the draft progresses, the value of a selected card diminishes by acquiring numerous copies of that card, or obtaining numerous cards While using the exact Mana cost.
Good previous Leeroy. At 4 mana, he's mainly a Fireball with board existence. His battlecry looks as if an obvious drawback, but since only you realize when It really is coming, there are ways to click here make use of it to your benefit.
Azure Drake is quite essential, but as we have set up, which is not a bad matter. Additional spell damage is nearly always handy, and that card draw normally is. Like a 4/4 for five mana, he isn't very daunting, nevertheless the draw by yourself is worth the upper Price than an Ogre Magi.
Warlocks are challenging. Irrespective of whether they play a control or an aggressive deck, their health can be turned into card benefit with their Hero Ability.
Then we talked to our UI fellas and they think of this Resolution, which I feel ended up being wonderful. Our UI men and our effects men worked alongside one another for making something which I believe has wound up [staying] really great. You've got the leaves that present how far alongside she is in returning, and then it flips above - you have got the seed and it will come back. It labored out really perfectly.
To the late game, you'll be able to be expecting that your opponent is Keeping on to a Hex, which you must bait out prior to deciding to play your deck's best minion. Provide them with a reason to employ Hex on another thing.

By Charles A. Francis
Loneliness is a widespread problem in Western society, especially among older adults, which doesn't seem to get enough attention. As adults grow older, there is a tendency for them to become more isolated from their families and society in general.
A study published recently in a scientific journal found that mindfulness meditation helps older adults overcome loneliness. This is good news for seniors because loneliness is a major risk factor for various health conditions such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease.

Worst Financial Mistakes
I used to think of myself as someone who was fairly good about money, considering that I didn't have much. My credit score is about as high as it could be for someone with no car payment and no mortgage, indicating a stellar history of on-time payments and overall "responsible credit use"...as defined by the credit industry, obviously.
However, recently I've come to see that I was not quite as good as I thought I was. I'm not losing sleep over it, exactly, but here are the things I'm going to talk to my godchildren/potential nieces and nephews about, one of these days.
1) My budgeting never included long-term savings. It wasn't really all that systematic either; I've made back of the envelope budgets for my entire adult life, but they only ever projected, at most, a few months out, and I only made them when I had credit card debt to pay off (frequently.) Otherwise I just spent what came in. I knew that I ought to think about retirement savings of course, but that seemed dumb when I had student loans, and until just a few months ago, I've always had student loans (although the undergraduate ones were in deferment for quite a while before my parents paid the remainder off with an inheritance they'd received. But by that time I'd racked up some graduate school debt.) I went through periods where I was spending less than I earned, but they were always followed by periods when I ran through everything I'd saved and then some. If I could do it all over again, I'd have figured out IRAs early on and put something, anything, even 5% or 10% of my income, into one.
2) I took out the damn graduate loans. I didn't really need them; if I was going to go to grad school in the first place, I should have been willing to commit to getting out debt-free, even if that meant living situations I didn't find thrilling. I think the problem here was that I was valuing immediate gratification and not really thinking about how much clearing a $19,000 debt would impact my first year(s) out of school. I got really lucky in that my first job, even though it only lasted a year, was unusually well-paid. That job saved my a$$, financially, and it was pure dumb luck that I ended up with that and not with any of the much less well paid jobs I'd already been rejected from by the time I got it.
3) Speaking of which, I literally did not research salaries in my field until I was halfway through my graduate program. WTF. This mistake is part of a more general mindset I had through my twenties, namely, "do what you love and as long as you accept that you won't get rich, don't worry about the money." Well, not getting rich is one thing; not being able to afford a basic middle-class lifestyle is another. If I were doing it all over again, I would have invested in some really serious career counseling that would have included budgeting -- "ok, teachers make X a month, how do you live on that? accountants make Y, what about that?" -- as well as an assessment of my skills and interests. I do, in fact, really like what I do, and I think it is even useful to the world. But maybe I could have chosen a field that would have been something I liked, something useful, *and* not expected me to move halfway across the country at a moment's notice for a salary that's less than what most of my students make right after graduation.
4) I didn't get married to a financially successful person :)
4 comments:
Lol @4!ReplyDelete
My husband should read #3. He swore he'd make x amount after getting his grad degree. 10 years later and he barely makes that, so he grossly underestimated pay in his field.Replies
4 would have helped everything! :-)Delete
Average pay in a field is a really tricky thing; so much depends on location, the type of company (or in my case college) you end up at, and a million other things. It's very hard to accurately estimate ahead of time even if you *do* do some research (unlike me), which is why really long graduate study can screw people up so badly financially. Sigh.
I took a different approach to college and graduate school - I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life (still don't) so I pursued an accounting degree because I thought it would make me pretty good money in a pretty stable field. At the direction of some guy I was dating at the time, of course. He was financially successful and from a wealthy family, but I don't think marrying him would have been worth the lack of debt ;).ReplyDeleteReplies
See, I'm impressed with that kind of foresight. I'm not sure where my (lack of) career planning came from. Well, I sort of do. I was sure I was going to be in the theater, right up until about halfway through college, at which point I realized I probably wasn't. Since then, I've made a series of mildly nonsensical career decisions, none of which were predicated on the idea that I had to earn money (which I did! It's not like I've got a trust fund sitting around.) I dunno, people who can plan for a stable career seem like rock stars to me.Delete

Global Array Instruments Market 2015-2019
Press Release • Aug 11, 2015 03:09 EDT
About array instruments
An array is the technology used in laboratories that quantitatively and simultaneously monitors the expression of thousand genes. The high-throughput approach of microarrays help locate mutations in genotype, measure and detect gene expressions at the mRNA or at the protein level, and locate chromosomal expressions. They work on basic aspects such as hybridization, coupling biomolecules to a platform, sample preparation for detection, data analysis, and scanning. Over the years, array instruments have helped in refining molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, and molecular pathology; synthesizing or sequencing nucleic acids; and accelerating drug discovery processes.

ANCHORAGE. – No. 16 BYU-Hawaii men's basketball headed home undefeated after a 90-69 win over the University of Alaska Anchorage on Saturday night in the Alaska Airlines Center.
"We took care of the ball tonight," BYU-Hawaii head coach Ken Wagner said. "We didn't shoot the greatest in the world, but defensively we played really well [throughout the tournament]. I was proud that everyone that came in played hard and played well. If we continue to cut our turnovers down and be more consistent on defense, we're going to be really good."
Senior guard Daniel Berger led all scorers for the second consecutive game with 21 points on 8 of 13 shooting. Senior guard Pablo Coro added 15 points and five assists for BYU-Hawaii (8-0, 2-0 PacWest). Both players were named to the Seawolf Jamboree All-Tournament team at the conclusion of the game.
Junior forward Ian Harward finished one rebound short of a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. Junior forward Scott Friel scored 13 and sophomore guard Cory Lange added 11 to round out five Seasiders in double figures.
BYU-Hawaii, the nation's best free-throw shooting team, bounced back from one of their worst performances of the season yesterday to shoot 90.9 percent from the charity stripe. The Seasiders outrebounded the Seawolves (3-7, 1-1 GNAC) by 14 and had 10 steals on their way to a 16-0 advantage in fastbreak point.
After a 3-pointer from Coro gave the Seasiders an early 5-3 lead with 18:21 remaining the first half and they would not relinquish it for the rest of the game. Berger contributed his first 3-pointer of the day during a 12-2 run by BYU-Hawaii to take a 19-7 edge over UAA with 13 minutes left in the half.
The Seasiders built a 14-point lead over the Seawolves with a 9-2 run led by five points from senior guard Luke Aston. UAA closed the gap to five at 28-23 with 6:17 after a 10-point run of their own.
The teams traded points until Lange scored four-points during an 8-2 run to send BYU-Hawaii into halftime leading 47-35.
BYU-Hawaii created its largest lead of the game following a 17-2 run that was highlighted by a one-handed slam from senior center Jordan Stone to make it 68-43 with 12:54 left.
UAA answered with a seven-point run to cut back within 20, but Berger nailed two 3-pointers and two other field goals in the paint on a personal run that extended the lead back to 23 with eight minutes remaining. The game was never in doubt as the Seasiders closed out the game with a 9-2 run to continue the best start in program history.
BYU-Hawaii returns back to conference play next week to take on rival Hawaii Hilo on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. HST in the Hilo Civic Auditorium. Live stats and audio will be available online.

Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Integrated Foundations Of Pharmacy)By: Jill Barber (editor)Paperback
Only 2 in stock
DescriptionTaking medication is a common occurrence for many people, whether it is to soothe an aching head, regulate blood sugars, or to treat life threatening conditions, such as HIV or cancer. In the UK alone, over 900 million prescriptions are dispensed every year. Overseeing all of this are pharmacists: experts in medicines and their use. The Integrated Foundations of Pharmacy series supports those who are at the beginning of their journey to become a pharmacist. The reader will begin to understand how a drug molecule is made; the process that turns it into a medicine; the role the pharmacist has when dispensing that medicine; and what happens in the body when it is taken. Most importantly, the series shows how each of these aspects are integrated, reflecting the most up-to-date teaching practices. Pharmaceutical Chemistry provides a wide-ranging overview of organic chemistry as applied to the study and practice of pharmacy. Drugs are simply chemicals, so to fully understand their manufacture, formulation, and the way they work in our bodies, an understanding of organic compounds and their reactions is essential. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Pharmaceutical Chemistry features: For registered adopters of the book: - Figures from the book, available to download. For students: - Self-assessment questions to help the reader to check and reinforce understanding of the material introduced in each chapter. - Related addtional resources.
