Sales figures are a contentious beast. Where they definitely reflect the most popular and successful item at the time, they do not necessarily reflect the best, more compelling, or most suited to individual preferences. They reflect a catering to most, not everyone. But as it usually goes, what determines a success for a game is how well it sold. That might seem really obvious as a statement, because the money and time invested needs to be shown in as many extra zeroes as possible.
Alas, this is when we see critically acclaimed games lose out in their franchises, because they may have been stellar games, they did not receive 'commercial success.' That is key, I feel there is a definitely a difference between being successful and 'commercial success.' A game that sells more doesn't necessarily make it the best. I would argue that Volbeat is a much better musical group than anyone in the Top 10 of the charts, but have they sold as many records as Justin Beiber or Rihanna? Probably not.
I think the recent football (or soccer for my American friends) games help demonstrate this. FIFA is often the go to football, having the names of the players and the premier league backing and official licences, those who are looking for the most authentic experience head for the FIFA camp. And rightly so, in previous years FIFA has been the dominant force in providing the experience football gamers want. From the feedback on social media and some of the reviews I have read, FIFA 17 is somewhat of a mis-step, though I haven't played it myself to verify, the consensus was that FIFA 16 is reportedly better.
Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) has been more the underdog in recent years. Purists insist that it is the more technically advanced as opposed to FIFA, but often lacks on the grabbing football fans as they miss out on the squad names and the official teams. They don't have an "ultimate team", an electronic sticker book for Generation 'Y'. But despite their struggles, they persevered and it seems they scored the better reviewed game in PES 2017.
Alas, this has not affected sales. It has been revealed on Reddit, via an information analysts post on Twitter, that FIFA 17 not only had the most sales in the first week on sale in the UK, but beat PES 2017 by more than 40 times! Doesn't matter which way you slice it, that's impressive. More than 1.1 million copies of FIFA 17 were shifted in the first week in the UK where PES 2017 is approaching 500,000 (50k). In fact, it is reported that FIFA 17 has beaten the sales target set by its predecessor FIFA 13.
Of course, there are extenuating factors to this. FIFA 17 released the same week that Sony's PlayStation 4 500GB original model received a huge discount (down to £149.99), presumably clearing through the older stock before the slim and Pro release. If FIFA 17 was released, or EA authorised a bundle at the same time, then you can probably imagine what happened to sales. I believe PES 2017 also received a substantial price drop from Konami, but for a short amount of time.
Do you play either of the games? Which was your game of choice? Do you think sales figures are important? Let us know in the comments below or on the RGM Forums.

So sorry for the lack of posts this week. As I mentioned on Monday I've been busy nursing sick kids. Now they are all feeling better and have passed on all their little germs to me! I'm so glad they are healthy again, but now all I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep for a week!
Hoping tomorrow will be a better day and I can get busy with some more projects. Plus our spring break starts tomorrow and my kids are ready to have sleepovers and do some fun activities.
Have a great day!

Turbine blades
Regular maintenance must be carried out on airplanes to ensure that strict safety measures are observed. In addition to servicing, this also includes the inspection and repair of individual components. During flight, the material is subject to enormous pressure. As an aid to maintenance, FOERSTER has developed devices to reliably check locally that individual parts remain free from cracks and potential damage.
One example are turbine blades, of which more than 1000 are installed in a single engine. During flight, corrosion damage and cracks can occur on these blades, which are arranged in a wheel shape.
The DEFECTOSCOP and DEFECTOMETER devices can be used to check the turbine blades for cracks directly on site during maintenance work. Special sensors that are connected to the devices allow a thorough and yet quick check of the turbine blades. In addition, the highly sensitive MAGNETOSCOP measuring device can check the turbine blades for corrosion damage caused by high thermal loads.
We help you to continue to enjoy freedom over the clouds without any care.

6. Rhodiola Rosea
This herb has long history of use as a treatment for various kinds of illnesses. More than its reputation to treat and manage diseases, rhodiola is recognized as one of the best herbs that enhance memory. Some people called this herb as Aaron's rod, roseroot or golden root. Recent scientific studies claim that rhodiola has the ability to relieve depression and improve one's focus and memory.
Some researchers believe that this herb contains adaptogenic qualities which stimulate the central nervous system of the body, thereby resulting in enhanced memory and concentration. One study revealed that intake of rhodiola regularly can increase one's memorization abilities.
7. Bacopa
If you are in search for the best memory-enhancing herbs available today, then bacopa should be on your list. Numerous studies have been conducted to test the effectiveness of bacopa in improving one's memory and mental function. Most of the results revealed that, indeed, bacopa has the ability to promote mental health and better memory.
In ayurvedic medicine, bacopa has been used since old times to enhance learning, concentration and memory. To test the effectiveness of bacopa, a scientific study in Australia was conducted and it involved 46 volunteers aging from 18-60. The volunteers were divided into two groups and each volunteer in one group was given 300mg of bacopa everyday. After 12 weeks, researchers found out that there has been a significant improvement on the subjects' verbal learnings abilities, speed of information processing and memory. Today, bacopa is widely used as a treatment for memory problems.
8. Gotu Kola
Also referred to as Indian Pennywort, gotu kola is an amazing herb that promises great results in enhancing the memory and improving brain functions. Generally, this powerful herb helps in improving one's mental function. In traditional Chinese and ayurvedic medicine, gotu kola is used in rejuvenating the mind and the body and is considered an "anti-aging" herb.
According to studies, gotu kola contains certain substances that increase brain power and improves blood circulation to the brain which results to better memory, concentration, intelligence, and attention span.
9. Periwinkle
Known for its antispasmodic, antibacterial, anti-cancer and sedative effects, periwinkle also makes a great herb that enhances memory. Its seeds and leaves actually contain vincamine which is considered as a precursor to vinpocetine. This chemical is a blood thinner that improves circulation of blood to the brain and promotes better oxygen use. Today, this chemical is widely used to enhance memory naturally. In fact, vinpocetine is one of the most potent ingredients found in many pharmaceutical products for Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Some researchers claim that periwinkle works like ginkgo biloba in enhancing memory. Its vinpocetine content acts as a powerful scavenger of free radicals. This chemical prevents any damages to the blood vessels thereby preventing dementia and senility. Furthermore, it encourages the brain to absorb more nutrients which significantly improves the organ's functions. By increasing oxygen supply to the brain, cognitive and memory abilities are enhanced significantly.
Related: This Type of Exercise Can Boost Brain Power
Special Mention: Blueberries
Can berries really improve memory? It appears that they can. Modern scientific studies found out that blueberries contain powerful compounds like flavonoids, which are believed to be effective in enhancing learning ability, cognitive functions, verbal comprehension, numerical ability, decision making, reasoning ability, and more importantly, memory. Furthermore, studies show that regular intake of flavonoids helps in slowing down the decline in cognitive ability and it offers protection against diseases like dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
In a study conducted at Harvard University, intake of blueberries helps in boosting brain power. Also, it has been found to aid in staving off cognitive decline and in preventing memory loss that normally comes with aging. According to researchers, flavonoids have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that play vital roles in improving brain functions as inflammation and stress are considered as one of the major factors that can trigger the decline in brain functions.

Letter: On being new to the town …
To the editor:
In 1958, Oliver Sacks wrote a little book on perceptions. The book is known by the title of one of its subjects, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. The flawed perception is called Prosopagnosia, or, more commonly, face blindness. When I discuss with others my own experiences with partial face blindness, I find that I am far from alone.
Many of us, it seems, have difficulties recognizing folks by their face alone when we run into them in unexpected contexts. For years now, it has embarrassed me to meet people who I do and should know in places like supermarkets and struggle to sustain conversation long enough to collect the clues I need to place the face.
When younger, I either lived largely within my craft or emerged in groups of friends, who (I now presume) had the natural habits of immediate face recognition. I marveled at the skill that my political friends had for apparently knowing "everyone." But only after I was elected to a school committee did I begin to understand the gap between my skill and the skill of others. It happened one day as I was working my way through a recollection effort in a supermarket. The teacher to whom I was speaking took a pause and kindly asked me, "You don't have clue of who I am, do you?" I seized the moment to confess. I spoke of Sacks' book and I admitted that I have partial face blindness, apologized for that fact. We moved forward with her help of a kind re-introduction.
After that experience, I began more openly admitting my skill deficit … I stand short of calling in a disability, though the skill gap can be socially disabling. I still meet and connect with people at events and then are slow to recognize them at other events. I write this note because I know that I am not alone. Many of us want to connect with our fellow citizens. Yet because I am slow, and sometimes totally unable, to recognize folks who I should know, I fear that I seem to be a bit of an odd duck.
Here is my point: Connecting with each other can be more difficult than we think. If you have the face recognition skill that I lack, and if you sense that I might be struggling to catch up with you in the moment, please throw me a line from shore. This partial face blindness is not, I am assured, a harbinger of dementia. It is not that I have forgotten you or chosen to distance myself from our prior conversation. It is rather like mild color blindness. It takes me a bit longer to reconnect.
I believe there many folks among us who have experienced what I am talking about. And, from time to time, I hope that we will be willing to rescue each other.

Dave Mustaine: I Don't Have Any Enemies Anymore
In an interview with Australian website Faster Louder, Mustaine acknowledges how a changing attitude has helped with rebuilding bridges.
Megadeth front man Dave Mustaine, once notorious for his heated feuds with former Metallica band mates James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, has turned a new leaf thanks to his experiences on the Big Four tour. In an interview with Australian website Faster Louder, Mustaine acknowledges how a changing attitude has helped with rebuilding bridges:
"The truth of the matter is, I caused a lot of problems over my career, I made a lot of enemies, and right now I don't really have any enemies anymore, because I've spent the latter part of my career being much more grateful for what I have. I have friends again in this business I never was friendless, but the people that mattered, I didn't have in my life any more. It's great to be able to pick up my phone and see a text message from Kerry [King] and it's great to be able to check my voice mail and have a voice mail from James [Hetfield] or Lars [Ulrich]."
The famed guitarist and vocalist also suggested that the band's follow up to 2008's Endgame could be even more aggressive than its predecessor: "I'm super super excited about getting ready to do this next record. It will be more like Endgame and maybe a little bit maybe sticking in that vein and going a little forward toward what I like."
Early this month, Mustaine revealed that five songs are almost completed for the new record in an online chat with the band's Cyber Army fan club. The band will once again be working with engineer, Ken Eisennagel, who previously worked on the pre-production phases for 2009's "Endgame" and 2007's "United Abominations".

As for the Indians, context needs to be applied to the decisive win due to how reprehensibly bad the Aussies were in all regards. But the upside for the hosts was that the Team success was driven by the youngsters in the Team meaning there is a fair bit of light at the end of the tunnel for the Team.
Player Ratings
Virender Sehwag
The fact that the Team is winning so easily might mean that Sehwag's position in the line up is saved. In truth he is showing every sign that he is finished with him always being reliant on his eye for his destructive reputation in the Game, but now that has forsaken him he has nothing left to fall back on.
Meaning he is like a fish out of water and needs to go
Rating- 0/10
Time to retire to the IPL Viru
Murali Vijay
Looked all at sea in the first Test and was lucky to make it into the Team for this game
But, credit to the selectors with him playing a very fine openers knock. Where he played patiently and traditionally in the early parts of his innings and then branched out with a dazzling array of elegant shots. His disdain for the spinners and the expertise he showed in hitting them over the top was of the highest calibre
Rating- 10/10
Cannot fault him for what was a high class innings
Cheteshwar Pujara
Class player, that will only get better.
His double ton here was masterful with him showing such dexterity in both defence or attack and against pace or spin. The innings made even more noteworthy by the fact that he played most of it with an injury.
One of the best young players seen for a long while with not only talent, but such old style temperament
Rating- 10000/10
I gave him a rating of 10000 for that is how many Test runs I think he will score
Sachin Tendulkar
Failed in his only innings with 7, but would have enjoyed watching the younger Indian's dominate the old foe
Rating- 2/10
Failed, when he had every support to succeed
Virat Kohli
Played a rather curious innings of 34 off 92 balls when he was at the crease with India on 4/400 and the Aussie bowlers brought to their knees. You would have expected him to see this and dig the heels in with more attacking intent rather than stonewall. Ultimately his innings stalled the momentum of the innings after Dhoni left leading to a collapse and less of a lead than the Team expected
Rating- 2/10
Strange play by a naturally attacking player at a time in the Indian innings when the only choice was to attack
The Indian Master Blaster threatened to emulate his Chennai rampage with a stroke filled 43 that gave all the Aussie bowlers cold sweats only to inexplicably to hole out to Glenn Maxwell's humble offerings.
Away from his batting, you can see a very discernible change in his Captaincy from his laconic past to being on the players more in the field. Which has had the effect of upping the attitude and intensity in the Team that was so lacking against England
Rating- 6/10
Having a very good series
Ravendra Jadeja
A interesting player with it obvious that he is not Test standard with the bat, but his bowling has been very threatening in this series. As well as his fielding being exceptional and a much needed add on to an Indian Team that is so substandard in the field. His ball to bowl Michael Clarke was an absolute humdinger
Rating- 8/10
I was outraged to see Jadeja preferred to Ohja, but now I can see why
Ravichandran Ashwin
Brilliant follow up effort to him destroying the Aussies in Chennai with him picking up another 6 wickets here. How he has matured in a bowling sense and the improvements seen in the thinking in his bowling since the England series has been startling. He will definitely be one of the rocks that the next great Indian Test Team is built around
Rating- 8/10
Is the Boogey Man in all of the Aussie batsmen nightmares
Harbhajan Singh
Can any one tell me why Harbhajan is still in the Test Team?
Obviously because of all the left handers in the Aussie batting
In this match, he was once again useful without ever being a real threat
Rating- 5/10
Gets a pass, but India would be better served with a more able spinner
Bhuvneshwar Kumar Singh
Rating- 8/10
Kumar was the one that delivered the first telling blow that Australia could not recover from
Ishant Sharma
He played a role, but rarely threatened the Aussies with him getting only one wicket in Shane Watson in the 2nd innings to a tickle down leg. You can see him holding his place until Umesh Yadav comes back, but after that his position will come under question
Rating- 5/10
Always promises, but rarely delivers
Looking Forward
The Team is choc full of confidence now and can aim for a series whitewash with them knowing Australia has no answers in the spinning conditions.
A 2 nil series lead will probably mean there is no change for the third Test, but it would make sense to drop Virender Sehwag at the top of the order who looks finished. By replacing him with a vibrant youngster like Ajiinkya Rahane, it would not only strengthen the batting, but also improve the intensity in the field that Sehwag so drags down with his lapse attitude.
Ed Cowan
Of the frail top 4, Cowan is the one who inspires the most hope due to the fact that he has a Test temperament to go with his adequate technique. But he is a constant frustration with him always coming up short. I thought he would kick on after his brilliant century against South Africa recently, but he simply has not cut the mustard in this series
Needs to improve in the rest of the series or expect to feel the axe
Rating- 4/10
In no way good enough from a player that should do better
Dave Warner
A hit or miss player that is more miss than hit. He struggles with being able to read the game and how he should play and plays too many get out shots. He has shown in the past that he can cut it in Test Cricket, but he has been exposed as an impostor so far in this series
Rating- 3/10
Another soft touch in the top order
Phil Hughes
Embarrassingly bad by Hughes.....
Who cannot even score a run in the conditions with him showing himself as being clueless about how to accumulate. He is like a Deer in headlights against the spin with him being a walking wicket. Which inspires hope for the Ashes, where he can add this new found technical flaw to his gaping one against swing.
Rating- 0/10
Time to go Mr Hughes
Shane Watson
I think Watson raises ones ire more than any other because he just has this arrogant assumption that he has a God given right to be in the Team. You saw this with him constantly banging on about where he wants to bat in the top 6 when an average of 25.2 in his last 13 Tests would indicate that he is not even worthy of a place.
Unless he improves, he should not be in the Team unless he can bowl
Rating- 1/10
Played an appalling T20 shot to gift his wicket at a crucial time in the 1st innings which sums his suitability for Tests pretty well
Michael Clarke
You can understand why Clarke has a bad back with him having to carry this batting line up Test after Test. But in truth, a bit of the blame needs to rest with Clarke with him hiding a way at 5 in the order when the performance of the top 4 dictates that he has to bat at three. Where he can control the order and at least not always get caught batting with the tail
Rating- 7/10
Masterful innings of 91 in the first innings and then got an absolute unplayable delivery in the 2nd
Matthew Wade
Played a very respectable knock in the 1st innings, but then had a brain fade in the 2nd by throwing Moises Henriques to the wolves with a suicidal run. Which showed his propensity for mental lapses. Behind the Stumps, he still looks like an accident waiting to happen meaning if he retains a place in the line up it will be as solely a batsman.
Rating- 6/10
Gained respect with a fighting knock with the bat, but still shoddy behind the Stumps
Glenn Maxwell
He got 4 wickets in his debut, which most will focus on without digging deeper to see that all were virtual sacrifices by the Indian batsmen. Which is a bit harsh, but any thoughts of Maxwell being within a Bulls roar of being Test class as a spinner are just farcical. Then as a batsman, he has no clue for what is needed in Test cricket.
Promisingly for the Team he is a good fielder though
Rating- 4/10
The lad has heart, but little talent or know how
Moises Henriques
A pretty disappointing Test after he was stellar in his debut game.
In this game, he struggled with the bat and looked money for old rope with the ball in hand
The rest of the series will judge whether his fine first game was just a freak showing or a real indication that he could belong at the level
Rating- 2/10
Very average in this game
James Pattinson
Brilliant bowler, but with him having little or no support in the line up the Indians just saw him off and milked the rest. Which very much took a way his cutting edge. This being said, he is still far and away the best bowler Australia has
Rating- 6/10
Quiet Test, but still Australia's greatest bowling strength
Peter Siddle
Big hearted as always, but largely ineffectual in the conditions.
His performances a way from home is very much painting him as a 'fast track bully' a reputation that he will be determined to address in the last two Tests
Rating- 4/10
A non entity
Xavier Doherty
Very much a T20 bowler with little skill or know how to be a factor in First Class Cricket let alone Tests. But I will give him his dues, he was rarely threatening, but bowled with enough presence to represent a holding bowler in this game. Going forward though, he is no where near up to this level of the game and is likely to be flayed
Rating- 5/10
Gets a pass mark but is an accident waiting to happen
Looking Forward
It is obvious that there is a need for change with all the departments in the Team being flawed. The only problem with this is with the incompetence of the Selectors in picking a Squad for this series full of bits and pieces players there are few viable option
A good analogy is it is a bit like shuffling the deck chairs on the SS Titanic
The first thing that needs to happen before change to the line up is Michael Clarke to move up the order and bat preferably at 3.
As for changes, Phil Hughes needs to be dropped and Shane Watson told to shut the F Up and let your bat do the talking or failure in Mohali will be you last time to wear the Baggy Green.
Lyon, ridiculously left out here needs to come back in and Mitchell Johnson deserves a chance.
Leaving the 11 for Mohali as follows
Cowan, Warner, Clarke, Khawaja, Watson, Wade, Henriques, Pattinson, Johnson, Doherty, Lyon

Criminology is the study of crime, criminality and everything that lies behind their surface: the media, victimhood, social inequality, prisons and the courts.
As criminologists, it is our job to challenge received wisdom about crime and justice and seek an understanding of the offender while respecting the harmful effect that crime can have on individuals and communities.
That's why, here at Brighton, we will teach you to break down those notions of crime and criminality and to see them in their social, political and cultural contexts.
You will also learn about the public fascination with crime and why it continues to dominate our newspapers and television screens, even though recorded crime has been falling since 2002.

Course structure
The course covers the following areas of study:
You will be taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars and workshops, but there is an increasing emphasis on independent study as the course progresses. Although assessment is split between essays and exams in Year 1, your second and final years consist mainly of coursework.
You have the opportunity to do a voluntary work placement in Year 2 and also to enrol on our international exchange programme, which allows you to study in Spain or Sweden for a part of your degree.
Year 1
Year 1 will introduce you to the theoretical foundations of criminology and to the research methods used in social science.
Year 2
In year 2, you will begin to learn about criminal law and the mechanisms by which it is enforced.
Through the community engagement module you will have an opportunity to do a voluntary work placement with a local organisation. Our students have worked with organisations including Sussex Police and Sussex Pathways, a mentoring scheme that aims to rehabilitate local offenders.
*Option modules listed are indicative and may be subject to change, depending on timetabling and staff availability.
Final year
In your final year at Brighton, you will write a dissertation about an area of criminology that you want to explore in depth. The dissertation is an opportunity to design and develop an idea independently, with the support of an academic supervisor throughout.
The Global Issues module is new and focuses on environmental crime, trafficking and international conflict.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to develop your vocational skills and gain practical work experience while contributing to the wider community. Our award-winning Community University Partnership Programme (CUPP) can pair you up with a local organisation and find a volunteering placement that is right for you.
The optional Community Engagement module in year 2 allows you to incorporate volunteering in your degree programme. It involves 30 to 50 hours of work with a not-for-profit or community organisation that reflects your academic interests and career aspirations.
Previous students have had volunteering roles including:
CUPP is an award-winning project tackling disadvantage and promoting sustainable development through partnership with local organisations
Staff profile
"I joined the University of Brighton in 2009 after working as a doctoral student at Plymouth University. My research examines the role of voluntary and community agencies in crime and disorder reduction partnerships (CDRPs).
"Previously, I have looked into the use of screening and intervention tools, as well as the impact of street pastors in Plymouth.
"I have lectured on topics across the criminology degree, with a particular focus on feminist criminology and victims of crime. My subject interests include domestic violence, gender, faith, public policy and the nighttime economy."
Alongside an understanding of the causes, control and prevention of crime, the Criminology graduates are equipped with transferable skills in research and analysis that are useful for most career paths. It also offers several opportunities to gain work experience and professional contacts to improve your chances of employment following graduation.
Typically, criminology graduates pursue careers in crime prevention, criminal justice, community development, local government, security, social research and the police.

Brighton has been called the happiest place in the UK, and it's easy to see why. With five miles of pebble beach, more than 300 pubs and a packed festival calendar, Brighton is the ideal place to spend your student years.
Arts and culture: The Royal Pavilion is the most famous landmark in Brighton, opening its doors to around 400,000 tourists every year. Right next door is the Brighton Dome, the south coast's premier multi-arts venue, and the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, which holds a diverse collection of decorative arts, textiles and archaeological artefacts.
Festivals: The Brighton Festival is now the largest arts festival in England and a major milestone in the international cultural calendar. Meanwhile, The Great Escape has been established as the UK's leading event for new music, with over 300 bands playing 30 venues across the city over three days.
Nightlife: Aside from the many nightclubs that line the city's seafront, student favourites include The Haunt, Concorde 2 and Patterns, which attract leading bands and DJs from around the world. If you don't feel like dancing, you can take your pick from the many hundreds of pubs and bars that dot the city centre.
Shopping: The quirky North Laine district houses Brighton's finest collection of boutique shops and independent cafes, while the narrow, winding streets of the South Lanes house collections of jewellery and antiques. Churchill Square is the city's main shopping centre and serves all of your high street needs.
Sports: Brighton's seaside location offers the perfect opportunity to try paddle boarding, kayaking and windsurfing. Further into the city, The Level has a skate park for skateboarders and BMX riders to practise their skills.
Campus where this course is taught
Surrounded by the South Downs National Park and just five miles from the centre of Brighton, our Falmer campus has benefited from over £60million of investment over the past 10 years. 7,000 students are based here, studying subjects including English, education, social science, nursing and medicine.
Recent developments include the Falmer Sports Centre – with its fitness suites and sports hall – and the innovative Checkland Building, which has natural ventilation systems and an insulating green roof.
Falmer has also recently installed more than 600 solar panels, which reduce the campus's carbon emissions by more than 80 tonnes. The renovation has made us one of the top universities in the UK for on-site renewable energy production.
Our Brighton halls of residence are located across the city in Grand Parade, Moulsecoomb, Varley Park and Falmer.
Our Grand Parade campus is in central Brighton and has one hall of residence, Phoenix Brewery, within walking distance. We have around 300 rooms available in Phoenix Brewery, which are all ensuite and self-catered.
Moulsecoomb is two miles from the city centre and also has one hall of residence, Moulsecoomb Place, on campus. All accommodation in Moulsecoomb Place is catered, offering breakfast and an evening meal during term time. There are more than 150 rooms available here, with six to eight rooms per flat.
Varley Park offers the biggest choice of student accommodation with ten halls of residence. The site is four miles from Brighton centre but within walking distance of Falmer train station.
Falmer campus has two halls of residence: Great Wilkins and Paddock Field. Great Wilkins offers 150+ self-catered single rooms and one-bed couples flats, while Paddock Field offers 450+ catered and self-catered single rooms only. All rooms in Falmer are en-suite.
Aside from halls, you have the option of Unihomes, which we let out to our students on behalf of private landlords. The rent covers all utilities and includes £5,000 of contents insurance for your personal belongings.
You can also choose to join the many students who live away from campus in private rented accommodation. We have a list of high-quality, university-endorsed private sector accommodation and can help you find housemates to move in with.

Why service is essential: Issues can be identified early and determined to be battery issues, cable or belt issues, or also the alternator itself. To prevent further failure of your electrical system, a failing alternator could strain the battery power, for example, make sure that you watch for signs of electrical problems and address all worries before they create added repairs.
Your car's electrical system is composed of a complicated connection of circuits and your battery that make, store and circulate power where it's needed. The electrical system is additionally essential for starting the engine as well as specific safety features like headlights and blinkers. Much of your electrical system maintenance can be done by our in house technicians.
During a battery inspection our mechanics check:
- General vehicle battery and case condition
- Cable connections
- Hold-down hardware
Checking the starter means:
- Checking cable connections
- Checking mounting bolts and brackets
A Starter Electric "Draw" Examination, to inspect the quantity of electrical power needed to turn the engine over the engine over. Examining the alternator suggests:
- Conducting an overall visual evaluation
- Evaluating the drive belt
- Inspecting the placing brackets
- Testing electric hookups
- A Charging System Test to guarantee that the alternator existing and voltage are to manufacturer's requirements

Milken Family Foundation seals the deal on the former Riggs Bank headquarters (Video)
The California-based Milken Family Foundation has sealed its $31 million deal for the former Riggs National Bank headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue as it seeks to create a "meaningful presence" in the District.
The foundation launched by billionaire Michael Milken closed on its acquisition of 1503-1505 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, just a block from the White House, May 2. The sale works out to about $811 per square foot for the 38,222-square-foot property.
Milken, in a statement prior to Friday's acquisition, said this on its interest in D.C.: "The Milken Family Foundation is exploring having a meaningful presence in our nation's capital consistent with its work since 1982 to improve K-12 education and medical research as it continues to celebrate and recognize outstanding educators and others who are making a difference in our lives." For more on that see Michael Neibauer's article on the deal.
Representatives from the foundation were not immediately available for comment.
Milken was one of a large number of prospective bidders for the property, which ran the gamut in terms of potential uses and buyer types, said Brendan Owen, chairman of asset services for Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, who represented PNC Financial Services Group in the deal. Cushman & Wakefield Inc. broker Eric Berkman represented the Milken foundation.
While the building presented some challenges due to its layout as a former bank headquarters, which includes a safety deposit vault on the lower level, Owen said that did not depress the level of interest from prospective buyers.
"It's a very unique asset that has an incredible location and some beautiful physical characteristics," Owen said.

One regimen in Traditional Chinese Medicine that is done to promote and enhance the flow of energy in the body is Tai Chi Chuan (also known as Taiji Quan in different phonetic spelling). It makes use of slow and flowing gestures to boost strength, tone muscles, and improve one's flexibility, coordination and balance.
Although the movements in Tai Chi Chuan are very low-intensity and low-impact, practitioners believe gestures get rid of obstructions in the pathways to allow the proper flow of vital energy.
Movements in Tai Chi Chuan imitate those that are found in nature such as animal movements to connect man to the natural world. The gestures are also in pairs of opposites, for example, thrust and yield. It seeks to balance opposing forces to achieve overall harmony, which is the basic concept of Yin and Yang in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Aside from movement, the other components of Tai Chi Chuan are meditation and deep breathing. Meditating is integral in Traditional Chinese Medicine to calm the mind, improve concentration, reduce stress levels and thereby lower heart rate and blood pressure. Deep breathing is done to expel stale air from the body along with toxins and breathe in fresh air to enhance lung function. Deep breathing is also known to reduce tension, improves blood flow to the brain and increases mental sharpness.
In the West, Tai Chi Chuan has grown in popularity. It is said to bring about the effects of aerobic exercise but without the strenuous effort. It is recommended to practice Tai Chi regularly, twice a day for 15 minutes, to master the various forms and attain lasting results. Before starting a Tai Chi Chuan program, speak with a tai chi instructor regarding your health concerns so the program can be modified to suit your physical condition.
What Happens In A Tai Chi Class
A Tai Chi Chuan class is not like your typical aerobics or other Western forms of exercise class where you are asked to work up a heavy sweat. For the class, students are recommended to wear light comfortable clothing such as a T-shirt (preferably white) and track pants (preferably black) with flat rubber soled court shoes. Students can also perform the routine in their socks or even bare feet. Tai Chi Chuan is composed of many single movements and forms that are performed in even speed and in a continuous flow. The class begins with a warm-up routine that consists of mild stretches and deep breathing. The focus is to be aware of the body and to visualize the energy that flows through the meridians and the pathways of the body.
Beginners to Tai Chi Chuan will go through the basic theories of the process while learning a routine, which is basically a set of choreographed fluid movements. There are two types of routine training: the solo form which focuses on a straight spine and breathing from the abdomen while performing a natural range of slow movements. The second is called "pushing hands" which is a routine involving two persons and is basically performed for developing martial art skills. Examples of solo forms are hand forms (Wave Hands like Clouds, Grasp Peacock's Tail) and weapon forms (Dong Yue Combined Sword, Posture Poem Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Saber Form) while in "pushing hands" there is the "Eight Gates and Five Steps" training.
Most teachers encourage new students to take their time in learning the fundamental body alignment and movements over their center of gravity because these are crucial to the whole routine. The main idea is to be able to master alignment of the acupressure points to achieve the best body posture for the qi to flow through the body. Students are made to practice the routines repeatedly so that over time they develop accuracy in performing them. With patience and perseverance, students will begin to appreciate the quiet and gentle nature of the exercises.

I've gotten fat over the past few months. Surely part of the blame is suddenly having a full time job, being somewhere gray and cold and rainy, and of course a huge part is having a torn labrum. But part of the blame lies on Belgian beer and bacon. The yeasty, sweet caramel flavors of the Belgian Beer are the perfect complement to good smokey, salty, fatty bacon. Om nom nom nom. (the only thing missing from that flavor harmony is something pungent, which can be filled appropriately by brussel sprouts (in bacon of course), and a bit of aged balsamic would not be unwanted).
Today is brought to you by the letter B. B is almost certainly the best letter in the world. It has belgian beer and bacon. Brussel sprouts. Broccoli. It has blog, and of course me, Bloom. It has bread and butter (yum), batter, buns, and beer. Best of all it has bubble butts and boobs. This retarded rambling is here because I've been listening through my music collection alphabetically, and I'm amazed by how good B is.

Very comfortable and great colour for the summer
May 17, 2017 | Julia Robertson
I love these sandals. 2nd pair of this particular product so comfy and colour so versatile. I must have at least 20 pairs of FitFlops now for the summer and dread having to wear any other shoes!
January 13, 2017 | Patsy
Very happy with the FitfFlops and equally happy with the price.
January 10, 2017 | Customer
The quality of the flops are good and very comfortable, especially the bottom part, can prevent slippery. I have a few pairs of Flipflop from this site. Definitely recommended.

Lovely fitflop sandal as always
December 14, 2016 | Carol Clayton
Great shoes, so comfortable I can't say enough, I have worn them from Spring right the way through summer and they will still be fab for next year value for money second to none.
October 26, 2016 | Geraldine Rodgers
I bought these sandals because my old, much loved ones are about to go to that great shoe heaven in the sky. I don't think these will ever be quite the same as they are not as wide but love the styling and they are comfortable. I've no doubt they will be worn to death as were their predecessors!
September 27, 2016 | Elaine Croxford
These have been excellent fitflops. I have worn them all summer and having had a little tumble while walking a cliff path, not in these shoes, have not been able to wear much else. Very supportive to my feet, not too much grip with the toes to keep them on, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Love the colour too, it goes with so many things.\nGreat value for money and they still look great at the end of September and I will have further wear out of them next year.\nI could not have asked for more.
September 25, 2016 | Valerie Pinel
Love my new fitflops, lovely style, very comfortable and great value. Will definetely be buying more.
August 23, 2016 | Linda Quearney

Really pleased with speed of delivery, packaging and the shoes. Bought for holiday in Thailand and they were so comfortable and went with both trousers and skirts perfectly for sightseeing.
May 20, 2016 | Janet Mulvey

Exactly as shown on the website.
April 22, 2016 | Julie Kinch

Great company and great footwear. 100% recommended
April 21, 2016 | Linda Quearney
Absolutely love my new Fitflops they are so comfy. This is my 4th pair bought from Shoetique. As always,delivery is efficient and prompt .
April 19, 2016 | Jillian Stanley
Love my Fit Flops. Very comfy as usual right from Day 1 and the bonus is that they were a very good price. I don't think that you could better the price charged by Shoetique for them
April 19, 2016 | Mrs Janet Pearson
Have already got a pair in a different colour so knew these would be good too.
April 4, 2016 | Mary Bargh
Good fit very comfortable
March 21, 2016 | Helen Young
Perfect, I knew about the colour as done my research. Off White, perfect for my holiday.
March 17, 2016 | caron stanley

March 4, 2016 | gemma ford
Very nice, stylish and soft to touch
March 4, 2016 | Kauser Patel

The sandals are just what I wanted, reasonable price, good fit and prompt delivery.
March 1, 2016 | Barbara Rawes
Not worn yet as for holiday but fit well
March 1, 2016 | Deborah Allen
These Fitflops are so comfortable. They help me walk with ease. About a decade ago I was learning to walk again, and Fitflops made it so easy to stand straight and eased the pain in my back and legs. Now I have so many pairs and walking isn't a problem, in fact, I find it difficult to walk with ease in any other shoes. I've not had this particular design before, but they are so comfy straight away, and I can't wait for Summer to put them into full use.
February 29, 2016 | beryl wright
Nice comfortable one thing it was free delivery over 50pounds just shame not free under but OK
February 29, 2016 | barry hobbins
love fitflops, loved this style,, very pretty but they were too wide for my skinny feet, so returned them and got money back into my account no problem\npurchased fitflop leather biker boots and suede superloafers at same time\nand both of these fitted perfectly, so very comfortable.
February 24, 2016 | Sandra Strachan
Lovely sandals good quality easy to buy and delivery was fast . Hope to make more purchases in the future and will let my friends know of this product as it was a friend that recommended you to me.

Great shoes, bought for a present.
February 15, 2016 | Hazel Dix
As always I was very pleased with the sandals they were a good fit and comfortable. I look forward to some good weather to be able to show them off!
February 14, 2016 | anne elizabeth penton
Best sandals I've bought.
February 14, 2016 | HUSNA KHANOM
Loving my new fitflops. Colour is lovely. I would say if you are buying them maybe take a smaller size as they have good width. I am a 5, but I ordered a second pair and the 4 are perfect. Definitely will shop again on this sight. Thank you
February 11, 2016 | Olive Bruce
Very nice summer sandals bought for half priced in the sale, so even better!\nAs usual, quick and efficient ordering and delivery.
February 3, 2016 | Gillian Swaine
Thank you so much for my first purchase with you. FitFlop were excellent value for money
January 31, 2016 | Kay Pearson
Love the colour - Just off white. Very pretty on feet.
January 28, 2016 | Krystle Carter-Reddie
Disappointed with colour.
January 28, 2016 | Fredrica Self
Dieser Schuh ist optisch superschön. Er ist in der Grösse genau richtig. Man kann sie dauernd tragen und hat das Gefühl auf Wolken zu gehen. Ich trage nur diese Marke und habe seit dem keine Probleme mehr mit müden Füssen und er macht durch seine dicke Sohle ca. 3,5 cm grösser. Schade, dass es diese Schuhe nicht in ganz weiss gibt.
January 28, 2016 | Petra Kimmelmann
As always very pleased with this product and the friendly, helpful staff at Shoetique. Excellent product and customer service. Thankyou
January 28, 2016 | Yvonne Fox
Telephone call was answered quickly, order was made easy. Delivery was great, can't wait to go on holiday to wear them.
January 26, 2016 | Otis James
Good collection of sandle and quality product cheaper then other sites.very pleased with my purchase.
January 25, 2016 | Deval Amin
Very comfortable, light weight and stylish. Excellent shoe - bought 2 pairs in different colours
January 24, 2016 | annette bades
I ordered these sandals in the sale, as they were half price. I unfortunately had to return them because they were far wider over the top of the foot than other FitFlop sandals I have. Very disappointing.
January 24, 2016 | E West
Lovely design, great fit can't wait until summer. I bought them in the sale so got real value for money. Will definitely buy more!
January 23, 2016 | Gill Ball
Bought in the winter sale, look lovely, but the blue leather top is rather large over the foot but the sole feels lovely as you would expect from Fitflops.
January 17, 2016 | Helen Spear
these sandals are like a second skin for your feet. They are very good quality and compared with other brands the best value for money. They last much longer than other sandals and the Flora model is realy beautiful and elegant.
January 10, 2016 | Vanden Neuvel M.C.
These fitflops are very comfortable and very nice price too.
January 9, 2016 | Helena Foley
Good price and item excellent arrived well packaged in very quick time A1 seller would use again.
January 5, 2016 | Georgia Blomeley
Very pretty off white fit flops. My only criticism is thst the leather is a bit hard and stiff
December 30, 2015 | Mrs G Adamson
Great service thanks
December 30, 2015 | Cheryl MacMillan
I have a couple of pairs of the Flora Sandal - one in yellow and one in gold.\nBut you can never get enough of this comfortable - yet stylist sandal. Great value for money - but got it in the SALE!\n\nShoetique's delivery service is fabulous. But I would say that having to pay for returns is off putting.
December 9, 2015 | Renu Malhotra
As I've said before 'Shoetique Fantastique '\n\nI have 5 pairs of Fitflops bought via Shoetique.\n\nService , delivery and refunds all work brilliantly.\n\nCommunication excellent - what more could one ask with mail order?
November 4, 2015 | mrs curran
this is a gift to my sister in Thailand so I can't really say much about comfort or value for money but it's look great and I hope she would be happy to have them on
October 30, 2015 | Marie Heng
My order was not filled, and my money was refunded because you took more orders than you had in stock!
October 19, 2015 | MRS PAMELA CRAWFORD
Good value for money and good quality.
October 17, 2015 | Eileen Bull
Please be aware "Urban white" is more light beige! This is my fault for not checking the description more thoroughly ( not Shoetique's ). I like to buy from this company because they offer "value for money" with their fit-flop collection. Their service is wonderful!
October 15, 2015 | Denise Jackson
lovely shoes, but sadly too deep for my foot - had to grip my toes to keep them on, so had to send them back
October 5, 2015 | julia wardill
The material was a little hard at first gave me blisters, but after getting used to them , very comfortable
October 2, 2015 | Sandra Holt
I love fitflops, the only criticism on this pair is the colour 'Urban white' which is a dirty white / light beige colour , so disappointing, but still good value as bought in the sale. Shoetique is great simple website to use and fast delivery, Ideal thank-you.
October 1, 2015 | Fredrica Self
As usual FitFlop sandals are comfortable for walking and also smart enough to wear most places. Good value for money as my last pair are three years old and I am still wearing them.
September 30, 2015 | L J Booth
Excellent delivery service quick and prompt. Shoes as stated and very good.
September 29, 2015 | Jane Stokes
As always excellent customer care
September 27, 2015 | JILL BUFFONI
I love these sandals! Very efficient service with delivery when expected.\nThe sandals fit perfectly with very comfortable toe posts and look good. I especially like the cut out pattern on the leather upper.
September 24, 2015 | Penelope Fenwick
See previous comment
August 17, 2015 | S H Walters
The shoes were delivered with great haste but didn't look as white as the ones ordered on line from the web page although the service was good delivery good
August 14, 2015 | Marilyn Anne
I love these fit flops, they are the only sandals I can wear with a toe bar. They are comfortable to walk in and look nicer. Have tried others and none compare to these
August 1, 2015 | Anne Harrison
Brilliant, love the sandles
July 29, 2015 | Jean Ankers
Love the openwork on them and the quality of the leather. Good value for money
July 28, 2015 | Deborah Coen
Love these, I'm a big fit flop fan anyway, but these are the slightly narrower sole which I prefer and the leather is comfy & soft once worn in (which doesn't take long either!)
July 28, 2015 | Cara Sadler
Very comfortable. Love them.
July 28, 2015 | Trinh huynh
Lovely looking shoes but very poor fit. The white leather part arches too high so the shoe falls off the foot. About an inch could be taken off the white laser cut leather part to make it fit properly.
July 28, 2015 | Jerina Jagdeo
I own many pairs of Fitflops - shoes, sandals, boots. The microwobbleboard insole is without a doubt very comfortable, however the laser-cut top was hard and the edges cut into my feet. Unfortunately, I had to return these.
July 28, 2015 | Adeline Kan
Although not been able towear them yet, as usual fitflops are top of the class. find this retailer extremely easy and helpful to deal with and no problems whatsoever
July 28, 2015 | Steven Marquiss
Another excellent product from Fitflip. This is my fourth pair and I've never been disappointed. Not the cheapest pair of sandals but I'm on my feet all day at work and my feet/legs never ache or get tired when I'm wearing my Fitflops.
June 23, 2015 | Mrs. Jenny Crocker
The Flora Devon blue fitflops are a very pretty shoe. They are comfortable although if you need a slightly wider fitflop the canvas ones are slightly wider.
June 22, 2015 | Colin Hill
They are fine, no problem with them. Good quality, nice colour.
June 2, 2015 | Ethel E Gallagher
Last year I gave up on fitflops with toe post styles as I got blisters from the plastic jellies but these are great. Soft & comfortable& just right for hot places.I can now bin my 5yr old pair........such good quality they seem to wear for ever. Thankyou fitflop I am a fan.
May 24, 2015 | Jenny Honnor
very stylish and very very comfortable to wear in hot sticky climates! A winner all round.
May 18, 2015 | Sonia ELLINGHAM
Fitflops- brilliant!! I have very wide feet & find the flora sandals are the only sandals or shoes that I can wear straight away! The leather gives a little with wear to make them even more comfy, so I obviously have many pairs!!! Good construction & worth every penny!!
May 10, 2015 | Carol Barnes
Lovely sandals but were too wide for my feet. Such a pity.
April 12, 2015 | kathleen sproul
Excellent service ordered one evening arrived the next morning.good price as well.
March 8, 2015 | Carol Gale
Pleased with these as as a good price plus they are feminine and pretty.
December 22, 2014 | Rosemarie Donnelly
I bought a pair of fit flops sandals about 4/5 years ago. Not cheap, but in the long run they work out cheaper than buying a pair each year for that length of time. Therefore when the first pair actually wore out, I had no hesitation in buying another pair. I have also bought 3 pairs of fit flop boots and never have cold feet in winter. As I wear fit flops all year, I decided to purchase a pair of slippers, so my feet are always on the same super sole. Suffice it to say I absolutely adore fit flops and would recommend them to everyone.
July 15, 2014 | Lorrainne Reynolds
This is the third pair of flit flops I have got they are so comfortable to wear and go with most things I love them
July 14, 2014 | Margaret Stevenson
Very comfortable and lovely to look at, I am very pleased with my purchase and the service was very quick.
July 4, 2014 | KAREN LONG
Lovely sandals will be buying in another colour. Very quick delivery.
July 3, 2014 | mrs karen gallagher
Had a few pairs but these are the prettyist style. Very pleased with them. Pat Ryan\n
June 27, 2014 | Patricia Ryan
I've never been disappointed with Fitflops - they're the only "fitflops" I can actually wear - extremely comfortable. These are a particularly pretty design. Shoetique is definitely the place I go for them - free next day delivery and they always have the style in stock that I want. Highly recommend both Shoetique and Fitflops !
June 11, 2014 | Anne Rayer
Beautiful sandals purchased as a gift. They arrived promptly. They are stylish, a good colour that looks great with casual wear and smart dresses. I will use this service again. My only criticism.. as a customer I was invited to take part in a competition after the closing date! A bit disappointing.
June 7, 2014 | CHRISTINE Nash
I love these sandals. They look really pretty and quite dainty. Will go with nearly everything in the summer.
May 26, 2014 | Elaine Jackson
This was a really easy transaction. Superb site to deal with and fast speedy delivery. FitFlops are always awesome and do just what they say on the tin. A good source of this years styles. Excellent
May 17, 2014 | Susan Mary Rogers
Lovely colour and just as comfortable as my others !

The Pink Panther
Starring: Henry Czerny, Kevin Kline, Jean Reno, Steve Martin, Emily Mortimer, Beyoncé Knowles
Directed by: Shawn Levy
Trailers: Click here.
Buy this and other posters from MovieGoods.com®
A world-famous soccer coach has been murdered and his priceless ring has been stolen - a ring set with the stunning diamond known as the Pink Panther. The French government needs a master detective to solve the crime and recover the gem...but he's not available, so they recruit Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Comic superstar Steve Martin stars as Clouseau in an all-new adventure of The Pink Panther.
Buy this and other posters from MovieGoods.com®
A stunning pop star (Beyoncé), a soccer player, a Chinese assassin - who committed the crime? And can anyone solve the case? Clouseau and his partner, Ponton (Reno), must unmask the murderer and keep their boss, Dreyfus (Kline), from taking credit for the victory, all without bringing the French legal system to a screeching halt. Get ready to be tickled pink.
On the list of movies that did not need to be remade, The Pink Panther is close to the top, somewhere below Willy Wonka and maybe a step or two above Sam Raimi's confusing proposal to remake his own movie, but have no real involvement in it . Of course since most remakes are generally a bad idea, the greatness of the original movie means nothing if someone thinks there's money to be made. At least with Willy Wonka Burton can throw around the excuse that it's a new adaptation of the book, not a remake of the original movie. The Pink Panther can make no such claim.
Buy this and other posters from MovieGoods.com®
But, if you're dead set on making The Pink Panther, at least get talented people involved. Were this 1995, they'd have done that, since in addition to playing Inspector Clouseau Steve Martin also helped write the film's new screenplay. However it is in fact not 1995, it is 2006, a good ten years since Steve Martin has been funny or relevant. That realization is frankly a bit depressing.

This letter presents a new transmission line method for measuring the complex permittivity of dielectric materials using propagation constant measurements. In contrast to previous methods, a network analyzer calibration is unnecessary since calibrated scattering parameters are not required. We use measurements in X-band waveguide to show that this technique compares well with the transmission/reflection and cylindrical cavity methods.

Needs Assessment – We will meet with you to get a deep understanding of what products/services you provide, how your business operates, what systems you currently have in place, what your processes are, your future goals, and most importantly your pain points (what is currently keeping you up at night).
The outcome of the needs assessment will be a detailed proposal with the scope of the project outlined. If you decide to move forward with the process, we will begin the rest of the process. If for some reason you decide not to move forward, you have the option of purchasing an assessment summary from us, outlining the findings from the needs assessment and our recommendations to you.
Data cleanup – Your data should be as clean and condensed as possible. Commonly, many companies utilize more than one file to maintain the same information. DB Pros will take all of your core data and consolidate them into one file, setting it up for moving into the system chosen during system selection.
System Selection – Finding the right CRM/database solution is a very important and critical decision for your business. DB Pros is a vendor-neutral consultancy, allowing us to find any solution in the marketplace that fits your needs. DB Pros will work with you by making recommendations of the top 3-5 systems that fit your specific business needs. We will then work with you to narrow down the choices based on your budget, your needs, and your future growth. From there, we will demo the systems with you, helping you make the final decision. Ultimately, the purchase decision is yours, but we will give you all the guidance you need to make an informed, sound decision. In addition, we will work with you to negotiation the purchase with the software vendor.
System customization – Based on the scope outlined during the needs assessment, DB Pros will customize the database system for you. This process creates fields, screens, queries, reports and more that are specific to your company. It also removes any unnecessary fields/screens built by the vendor.
Data migration – Importing data into a new system can be overwhelming for the typical business owner. DB Pros will take the data that was consolidated during the data cleanup process and import it into the database system, so that when you begin using the system, it has all of your necessary data in there already.
Testing – Customizing any software program requires testing to make sure that everything is working properly and smoothly. We ensure there are no bugs, and that the workflow makes sense for you.
Training – The next step is to learn how to use the system you've purchased and customized. It is important to the ultimate success of this investment that you know how to use the program and how it can help you run, manage and grow your business.
Ongoing maintenance – Once your system is set up and your team is trained, there are still some key areas to focus on to ensure a successful implementation. DB Pros prides itself in assisting clients with post-implementation support to ensure a successful implementation and use of CRM. This can include user adoption, additional training, creating user manuals and other useful documentation, making sure your business processes remain in alignment with the system flow, and much more! In addition, as your company grows, requirements will change. Your system should adjust accordingly. DB Pros can assist you with this process – adding fields, reports, queries, etc. as is appropriate to keep your business running efficiently. This can also include regular maintenance on the data itself, ensuring cleanliness along the way.
