Engine gasket sealant
Munich1 posted a topic in E28 1982-1988Am in the process of reconstructing my engine and wondered what the best methods are for achieving a good seal between block/sump/timing covers/head all gaskets are new and oem. Sump gasket; as it's cork and should compress when bolts are torqued, is it wise to apply sealant, and what has been tried and tested? is sealant usually applied between lower timing cover and sump where the gasket is cork? Timing covers; I have Loctite 5926 for gaskets between timing covers (upper and lower) and head/block, is there anything better suited? I'm assuming there is no sealant necessary between upper and lower timing covers where the head gasket is sandwiched, can anyone verify? rear crank seal housing; is a bead of gasket sealant necessary between block and housing plate?
Hello Cotswold, individual prices for the following please; vin - 0660149 1off 11121730227, head gasket +0.3mm, 2.07mm 8off 11220616143, flywheel bolts 2off 07119902998, m6x35mm bolts 1off 11142249533, rear crank seal Thanks

CV joint
Munich1 posted a topic in E28 1982-1988Stripped down half axles for new boots today, Once degreased, I noticed one joint was rattling due to above normal wear and had a nightmare with ball bearings falling out of a second during the struggle to remove the inside joint covering cap. I remade the dismantled joint but with 720 possible combinations of six ball bearings, it's likely they're not all in the right place. The remade joint feels a fraction tighter than the two that came out intact. There is no wear to the ball bearings. I understand the joints are machined at factory and matched to ball bearings for each of the six grooves in the joint. My questions are; Would it be ok to put the remade joint back into use? Are single joints available to buy? My searches lead me to SKF VKJA 8810, can anyone tell me if this is the correct part? Many thanks
Hello Cotswold Parts vin 0660149 Are half axles for rear subframe still available? Is this an exchange only deal? Can I buy a cv joint separately? Many thanks Nik

One Vampire's Quest for New Beginnings A modern-day vampire story about a lonely killer who learns to appreciate life
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — Christopher F. Benson is proud to announce the release of his book Vampyre 2000: Life to the Lifeless (published by AuthorHouse). Benson tells an exhilarating tale about Cornelius, an African man who was turned into a vampire during transport to America to become a slave. After being thrown overboard and drifting ashore to New England, Cornelius roamed freely from city to city, undetected by the naive population of individuals who never suspected they were at risk of becoming the victim of a seemingly fictitious creature. Two hundred years later, Cornelius finally discovers a person who gives his violent, lonely life meaning, but the secrets from his past resurface and threaten his happiness — and the life of his newly found beloved.
Cornelius now turned completely around to face her, upon seeing her face, he had a sudden revelation. He had seen this woman before, she obviously didn't remember their brief encounter. On a night, some weeks ago, this woman nervously walked past him near a street corner not far from here, he could feel her anxiety as she went by. Quickly and awkwardly she glanced at Cornelius, he could hear her heartbeat pounding wildly as she crossed in front of him. It made him hunger. Now she was there directly in front of him, just inches away and he was quite taken by her and her amazing beauty. She was a tall woman with long dark brown hair. Her brown eyes accentuated a very elegant face that sat atop her long and athletic hourglass body. To Cornelius, she was the embodiment of a goddess on earth. He thought to himself what an incredible creature she was and now he wanted her company.
This riveting story provides a unique glimpse into the existence of a modern-day vampire. Readers will follow Cornelius' journey from a life of violence, solitude and unrest to the discovery of love and the possibility of a second chance — all while dodging attacks from his archenemy. As Cornelius transforms from a lonely killer into a creature who appreciates life, he will be faced with his most difficult and trying decision yet.
About the AuthorChristopher F. Benson grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He has always had a fascination with vampire stories and folklore, and was an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy as a child. Benson studied architecture and history at Texas Tech and also acted extensively, including performing in several Shakespearean plays. After graduating from college, he began working as an architectural designer in San Francisco, Calif. and San Antonio, Texas. In 2004, he began keeping his ideas for a modern vampire story in a writing journal and in 2008 he began to write Vampyre 2000: Life to the Lifeless. This is his first novel.

Photo gallery: Los Angeles Riots, looking back after 20 years
The Los Angeles Riots that began on April 29, 1992, changed countless lives throughout the region. Here's a look at some of the key figures in the Rodney King beating, trial and civil unrest, and what happened to them afterward:
Daryl Gates
The King beating and the riots a year later would be the downfall of then-LAPD Chief Gates, who had led the department since 1978.
A polarizing figure already controversial for his brash manner and gaffes against various ethnic groups, Gates came under more fire for his handling of the King beating when he defended the department.
Gates, who had pioneered the SWAT team and the DARE program, was forced to announce his retirement a few months after the King beating, but did not leave office until June 1992.
He died in 2010 after a battle with cancer at age 83.
Reginald Denny
Perhaps the most famous victim of the riots, Denny was a white truck driver who unknowingly drove into the riot's flash point at Normandie and Florence avenues.
He was pulled out of his 18-wheeler and beaten by black rioters, one of whom bashed his head in with a cinderblock.
Local resident Bobby Green saw the live news footage and rushed to Denny's aid, driving him to the hospital.
Denny, who suffered brain damage and underwent multiple operations to repair his fractured skull and jaw, later met one of his attackers, Henry Keith Watson, on a TV show and forgave him.
Denny now lives in Lake Havasu, Ariz., where he was working as a boat mechanic.
George Holliday
Holliday's infamous video of Rodney King getting beaten by LAPD officers set into motion the events leading to the nation's worst instance of urban unrest.
Holliday, using his new handheld camcorder, filmed King's beating on March 3, 1991, from his apartment balcony in Lake View Terrace.
He sold the 90-second footage to KTLA for $500, and the brutal video was broadcast around the world, shocking viewers and setting off a literal firestorm when the officers were acquitted a year later.
He later sued broadcast networks for distribution rights to the tape. A judge dismissed the suit.
Holliday, a plumber in Granada Hills, is working on a documentary about shooting the beating, according to a friend.
Ira Reiner
As the L.A. County district attorney overseeing the prosecution of the officers who beat King, Reiner came under fire for failing to win the case.
He was criticized for not opposing the moving of the trial to a courthouse in Simi Valley, which had an overwhelmingly white population, and for not calling King to testify because he believed he would make a poor witness.
Reiner later mounted an unsuccessful campaign for state attorney general. After he failed to win re-election as D.A. in 1992, he went into private practice.
Since June 2010, Reiner has served as president and CEO of the L.A. Homeland Security Advisory Council, co-chaired by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Sheriff Lee Baca.
Stacey Koon
Koon was the LAPD sergeant in charge the night of the Rodney King beating. While he was acquitted in the first trial, he was later convicted in federal court of violating King's civil rights. He wrote a book, "Presumed Guilty, The Tragedy of the Rodney King Affair."
Koon is retired and living in the Castaic area.
His attorney, Ira Salzman, said Koon is no longer talking about the case.
Laurence Powell
LAPD Officer Powell was also acquitted in the first trial and then convicted in federal court of violating King's civil rights and sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Powell is believed to be living in the San Diego area.
Timothy Wind
Wind was a 30-year-old rookie at the time of the King incident. He remained on the LAPD after being acquitted or found not responsible in three trials, but was fired in 1994 by then-Chief Willie L. Williams.
He later enrolled in law school and moved to the Midwest.
Theodore Briseno
Briseno, a 10-year LAPD veteran at the time, was seen on the videotape participating in the beating, but also at one point restraining a fellow officer. He was cleared of wrongdoing in both trials, but was dismissed from the LAPD.
Because he had testified against other officers, he was never able to find work in law enforcement, although he did work as a security guard and later moved to the Midwest.
Virginia Loya
Loya was juror No. 2 in the trial of the four officers accused of beating King. The jury acquitted three officers and failed to agree for the fourth.
Loya, the only Hispanic on the panel, had been one of four jury holdouts.
After being pressured to acquit the three cops, she dug her heels in when it came to Officer Laurence Powell, seen on video wielding most of the blows against King.
Today, the 60-year-old is retired in Ventura. She has three children, including a son who serves as a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., a daughter who works in the court system, and another who works at her church.
"We did what we had to do," she said in a recent interview with the Daily News. "I feel Powell was guilty, I did my part.
"When I think about it, I feel bad for all those people (in the riots), that their lives were lost. Like Rodney King, I wish we could all get along – with unity."
Damian Williams
The most notorious attacker, 19-year-old Damian "Football" Williams, hurled a cinder block at the head of Reginald Denny, causing a near-fatal seizure. Denny, his cheek shattered, his left eye dislocated and his skull fractured in 91 places, was rescued by an unarmed black man.
After the beating, 19-year-old Williams performed a victory dance over the injured driver, while flashing a gang sign at the hovering chopper.
The former high school football star escaped charges of attempted murder, assault and aggravated mayhem. Instead, he was convicted of four misdemeanors and simple mayhem and was released after serving four years of a 10-year sentence.
He was convicted 12 years ago of killing a Los Angeles drug dealer, and later sentenced to 46 years. He is currently serving time at Pelican Bay State Prison.
Henry Keith Watson
It was Watson who, after Williams coldcocked Reginald Denny with a cinder block on national TV, stood on the truck driver's neck.
Watson was tried for felony assault, but spared by a hung jury. Instead, he was convicted of misdemeanor simple assault, and freed for jail time served.
A year after the riot, he apologized to Denny on "The Phil Donahue Show," the only attacker to do so.
Today, he runs a successful limousine business. He has two daughters in college, takes care of his elderly mother, and keeps watch over his lifelong neighborhood.

Our electricians arrive on the job with a smile on their face and spring in their step.
Home Automation means making something work the way you want it to. It could be simple, like having a 3-way switch that dims from both ends of the hallway. Turn on an inside light with outside motion detection. Knowing if your garage door is closed from inside the house. And closing it - and get visual confirmation. Knowing from your bedroom when any other light is turned off or on.
Call us with ALL your automation questions: 866-946-4606
We will return your call promptly!
Home Automation means controlling these things not from just inside the house, but anywhere with an internet connection to your SmartPhone. And, of course, computers too.
You will be able to view your cameras, change your thermostat and have those lights make the place look really lived in. Control scenes with a single keystroke, tap or click. Hey wait, scenes? A scene is simply setting the things the way you like, such as this light at 52% and that light at 37%. Or every light in the house to a specific brightness. Hear a noise in the middle of the night? A single tap can make all lights go on. Leaving the house? Another tap makes all go off - except for the hallway, which will fade off over, say, 20 seconds. These are all simple scenes. Control or respond to your Nest thermostat, your MyQ Chamberlain (LiftMaster) garage door, Ring video doorbell!
And you can adjust these things yourself. Easily.
More complex automation is not more complex, just more useful. How about sending a text message or email when the liquor cabinet is opened? Or turn off lights when the room is not occupied for a time? Turn on a light when the doorbell rings. We can control just about anything with a wire. That means, the TV, spa, thermostat, house fan, holiday lights, etc. Close the drapes when the sun overheats a room. Yes, we can even tell you if you left the oven on!
Come into your house and push just one button. It turns on the music, fireplace, closes the curtains and sets all the lights to 'romantic'. How do they do it in the movies? With our Insteon system.

Theirs: Expensive.
Ours: Cost effective.
What about those monthly fees?
Theirs: Expensive.
Ours: NONE. Correct, no monthly fees.
I already have X-10
Do you like pressing buttons and waiting for the light 1-2 seconds later? Insteon responders react almost before you can get your finger off the button. In milliseconds.
X-10 does work. Yes, about 75% of the time. Insteon works every time - and provides feedback so you know the device turned on.
Insteon is backwards compatible with X-10. If you have to have it, we can control it.
"I already have X-10" is exactly what people say when they call us. The rest of the sentence is "please replace it with something that works."
What about the competition?
Zigbee, Z-Wave, Powerline, UPB, etc. Go ahead and compare. If we weren't miles ahead we wouldn't mention them. You simply won't find another product that has the capabilities or reliability of Insteon. We have more products, more reliability, faster operating time, lower cost, better performance, better customer satisfaction. Period. Need to know more? If you want, we have a 46 page technical comparison.
And how about the big boys, Lutron, Crestron, etc?
Do you want to train your guests how to work your light switches? Do you want a system that fails entirely when the controller fails? Do you want to tear up the walls, to add more wires? We didn't think so. If big means expensive, that's them. If you want the best, Insteon is what's right. Less cost, more performance.
Should any Insteon device we installed fail within two years, we'll replace it free. Nest consumer warranties are typically two years. Pro warranties are five!

Dr. Walt's decision to become an Orthodontist was inspired by his own direct personal experience.
Book a Free Consultation
Use our handy online scheduler to choose the date and time that works best for your initial complimentary consultation appointment! If you would like to do your free consultation from home, please complete our virtual consultation platform.
Dr. David Walt
Certified Orthodontist
Dr. Walt received his dental (DDS) degree from the University of Western Ontario, graduating first in his class and receiving the Gold Medal as well as numerous awards recognizing his scholastic and clinical achievements, leadership and character. He then completed his orthodontic training at the University of Colorado, where he received both his Specialty Certificate and Master of Science Degree. During his residency, he was awarded the Rocky Mountain Orthodontics Scholarship for overall excellence.
Dr. Walt trained using some of the latest technologies available, including Invisalign®, "hidden" or lingual braces, temporary anchorage devices (TADs), soft tissue diode lasers, and three-dimensional cone beam computerized imaging.
In addition to practicing orthodontics, Dr. Walt is a "die-hard" Blue Jays fan, as well as enjoys working out and skiing. He is also an Adjunct Clinical Professor in the Department of Orthodontics at Western University.
Dr. Walt's Personal Experience
When I was 11 years old, I received treatment by a very proficient orthodontist. He advised my family that my case was complex because of the unfavourable growth pattern in my jaw. We were given a variety of treatment options, ranging from orthodontics alone to orthodontics with jaw surgery. While we elected to take the orthodontics-only approach, the orthodontist warned that there was a likelihood of further unfavourable growth later in life, which could result in relapse of my bite.
Ten years later, I was in my second year of dental school. I was learning about orthodontics and I began to see evidence that my orthodontist's prediction was correct, and that my bite had relapsed. This intrigued me, so I began to study my own case, striving to understand why my original treatment had been unsuccessful. It was through this process of search and discovery that I became fascinated with orthodontics and it dawned on me that I had found my calling. I decided to pursue specialty training and become an Orthodontist.
At around the same time I also decided to fix my bite once and for all; this time by having orthognathic surgery in conjunction with orthodontics. In technical terms, my problem could be classified as a Class II Malocclusion with an Anterior Open Bite. The main characteristics of this problem are:
- Retrusive lower jaw;
- Excessive display of the upper gum tissue;
- No vertical overlap of the front teeth;
- Excessive horizontal overlap of the front teeth;
- Restricted airway, leading to snoring at night (early signs of sleep apnea); and
- Worn jaw joints.
I had double jaw surgery (where both my upper and lower jaws were repositioned), which facilitated the orthodontic correction of my bite with braces. Having braces again—this time as an adult—was definitely an adjustment, but the results were well worth it.
Take a look at my before and after pictures and see firsthand how this treatment transformed my bite, my smile, and my face. I believe that this personal experience gives me a very unique understanding of what my patients go through and the impact I can have, through orthodontics, on their lives. This is why I love what I do and why I am so passionate about it.
If you have any questions about my experience, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Take an Office Tour
Our office is pretty unique. Seriously, it is kind of different. When you walk in it doesn't look like a typical dental or orthodontic office. Be sure to check out the reclaimed wood furniture, polished concrete floors, and the concrete and metal feature walls.

Are you experiencing neck pain when turning it in any direction? Right now this problem would be hurting you occasionally but after some time it will hurt you throughout the day. This is not only irritating but also a symbol of underlying issues which require medical attention.
Many people with stiff neck problem experience difficulty in moving neck and soreness in the associated areas. In case you have stiff neck symptoms which may last from a couple of weeks and causes shoulder pain, headache or any other pain which also hurt your arm then seeing a chiropractor would be suitable for you. A good thing about the stiff neck is that normally it is not caused by the severe medical situation. However, identifying the accompanying symptoms may signify a requirement for medical care.
Causes of neck pain
Stiff neck issue can be caused because of different reasons but some are very common so, here you can go through these and consult a chiropractic if find a similar problem:
Muscle strain
Any movement which brings your neck in uncomfortable position for the extensive range of time could reason to the muscle strain around your neck and cause fatigue. Like, in our daily life we do different activities such as carrying a heavy bag on a shoulder, sleep with your neck in wrong angle or position, look down to see the computer screen and holding your phone touching your shoulder while talking, all these can give rise to neck stiffness. The recent cause of muscle strain is text neck i.e. stiffness and neck pain caused by spending the extended time to look at their Smartphone's screens.
Cervical Spine Disorder-
Cervical spine incorporates all of your muscles, nerves, bones, and joints present alongside your neck area. In addition to this, spinal cord also passes through the middle of the vertebrae in the cervical spine. And the grouping of such parts may become injured or worn down over time, resulting in neurological issues, neck pain or stiffness. Certain spine problems which generally arise comprise-
Cervical disc issues- Spinal discs are Soft tissue arrangements which offer cushioning amid every vertebra of the spine. With time, these different discs available in the neck may degenerate or herniated, resulting in stiffness in your neck, irritate nerve roots and cause pain in your arm, hand or shoulder.
All these conditions should be treated or diagnosed by an effective treatment. Even if you experience that your symptoms are meek still consulting an expert chiropractor at the right time can help you in preventing further cervical issues from getting worse over time.
Most of the people think that infection can't cause stiff neck problem but it is not true. Undoubtedly, it rarely causes this particular problem but it is a serious condition. In case you are experiencing vomiting, nausea, fever, headache or any other symptom of infection as well as stiff neck, Give us a call at our given number. Or make an appointment for a complimentary consultation immediately.

Every six month we had surveyed and find poor and street children and a fix date we had given him medical facilities free of cost according our capacity. Our volunteer and friends help in this project time to time by fundraising, donation and ideas, all children who came here very poor and their's family situation is very bad condition. Some children have no place for live. Some children they have no parents, some children they work different people house as a servant, before some children they were related with drug addiction. We always welcome all needy and poor children in this programme. In the society all people look them very bad eyes and they don't like them because they very poor and uneducated but no body come for make a change.

It is very important they should know that about global warming and nature also because we all human can be leave more well if we will be friendly way with the nature.
Our main motto is to make all children self-confidence so that they can stay upon their's feet on this world.

Doctor came in a fix place and he gives his treatment to the kids and if someone sick or any problem then we give medicine to help them. Shortly children get here education with fun so this reason they learn quick and fast.
In the future we want to built a big school/Hospitals in Varanasi where lots of kids could get a good education with knowledge & shelter. In the future we want to create job offer for the kids like handicraft, arts, etc. so that they create and we will help to sell it to our volunteer and which money we will get that money we will deposit on that kids in the bank account so that after when they will be more than 18th year's they can use this money for his further education.

When we aren't writing, we LOVE to read!
But life and being a wife and motherhood and jobs and simply being tired can, at times, make consistent reading difficult.
We wanted to share with you some ways we help ourselves read more:
- Don't watch TV every night! I (Lindsay) try very hard to keep my TV viewing to one night a week. There was a season where this routine was incredibly easy and I got so much work and reading done once I put Carsen to bed (at 6 p.m. Don't be jealous). Other seasons I have to remind myself to not just "check out" with the TV, and open up a book.
- Throw your phone in the trash and take the bag out to the curb (or put it in a cupboard or airplane mode or under your mattress). Distractions will keep me from reading, especially my phone and all the notifications, apps, etc.
- Be Rory Gilmore and have a book on your person at all times. This way you can read while in school pick up line, waiting for an appointment, on the train, etc. We learned this during our two year around the world travels. We had so much time waiting, that it was not uncommon for us to have 1-2 books in our purse or backpack to pull out at any given moment.
- Have another book "on deck" before you finish the one you are currently reading. This makes sure that you have a book to pick up the moment you close the last one. Stay in a rhythm. Once you break the rhythm, it takes time to get back into it.
- If you aren't enjoying a book stop reading it immediately. I (Lindsay) do not fully agree with this method as I LOVE crossing off items on a list, and stopping a book mid read, no matter how much I'm not enjoying it, feels hard. However, I get the point. Why "push through" if you aren't enjoying the book, when reading is supposed to be enjoyed?
- Schedule reading time on your calendar like you would schedule anything else. This could include but not limited to: Lunch breaks, commutes (as long as you aren't driving *safety first*), bath time (my favorite!), evenings, etc.
- Keep a reading log and share it. Below is a printable book log you can use to write down the books you have read this year. So far I have three finished (Don't judge, January and February have been difficult with two deaths) and hope to get it filled with many more!
Do you have an ideas that we missed?

Is An Artificial Intelligence Controlling the Planet?
Video from Miles Johnston Bases Project
Kozyrev Mirror: Instantaneous artificial telepathy across space. The next version allows for transfer across space AND time. Scalar wave physics, somehow.
Other topics discussed are the Universe as an organic holographic reality where something created an inorganic mind matrix which we are currently experiencing.
- We access the morphogenic field through our imagination and this is our co-creator ability
- The inorganic matrix does not have this imaginative co-creative capability
- CERN and punching through dimensional voids or gaps
- Duality, binary entities, trinary consciousness, geometries and dimensions
- Time/space, zero-point and Earth as a focus point between the past and future
- Energy Harvesting on Earth
- Interdimensional Archon Energy
- "Kicking Each other out of bed" – Collective Responsibility
- 1000 years of inserted, manufactured history to give back-story for current rulers
- The quantum singularity transforming the potential unmanifest into physical reality
Is something artificial controlling this reality? Is this reality itself artificial? These are questions people are asking today.
"The theory that reality, as we consciously experience it, is not real, goes back to the indigenous people who believed that we exist in a dream or illusion. In our current timeline, we refer to the matrix, grids, virtual reality, simulation and hologram. Today many physicists are researching the concept of the universe as a hologram."
There are mainstream studies being released today which show the same knowledge that native ancestors told generation after generation for thousands of years. Is this world a holographic dream-reality?
"Some people think that the physical universe is different from the mental planes of reality. But the physical universe is really not as physical as it seems. In fact, it is just another layer of the mental universe. Time and space does not exist in the physical universe only, it also does exist on the other planes of reality. Except it is experienced differently on those planes."
If the universe is indeed a hologram, could this be where AI manipulation becomes relevant? Is this is a glitch in the 'machine' running code or processing in the background like a daemon? Is this intelligent, self-aware or just an autonomous process built out of the remains of residual intelligence?
"Everything you have ever done or will do could simply be the product of a highly-advanced computer code. Every relationship, every sentiment, every memory could have been generated by banks of supercomputers.
This was the terrifying theory first proposed by British philosopher Nick Bostrom.
…In his paper, Dr Bostrom suggested a race of far-evolved descendants could be behind our digital imprisonment.The futuristic beings – human or otherwise – could be using virtual reality to simulate a time in the past or recreate how their remote ancestors lived. "
These questions bring up concepts of 'original time' or a Universe that exists in a way in the realm of the "real" up-to-date cosmic existence. How do we reach this original time? Is the 'original time' actually our home world higher in vibration?
Dream-time or digital prison? What if it is up to us to decide?

Haven't seen the snow
We haven't had snow here for 5 years, but the garden is full of Snowdrops!!
It's been a beautiful day here with the sun shining, but very cold. Perfect weather for wrapping up, walking by the coast and then returning to Valley Cottage for a warming hot chocolate relaxing on the sofa by the woodburner.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 59. Breezy, with a west wind 15 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph.
Lots of wind today!
It rained an inch or two overall last night so expect creeks to be stained to milky this morning. It will be a good leech and san juan worm morning! There are a handful of clear creeks out there, and that list will grow later in the day and through the weekend.
Fishing has been solid as water temperatures are really good for this time of year. Cool weather and an abundance of water means the springs are working overtime keeping the trout cool!
Look for olives to hatch, especially later in the day and when the sun is off the water.
Terrestrials are important and will become even more so as things dry out.
Subsurface fishing is best on heavy bead heads rolled along the bottom or dropped below a larger indicator fly.
The weekend weather could not be better for fall fishing!!

The Road Safety Team at Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service have been successfully delivering free 'Biker Down' workshops across Devon and Somerset since 2015. During this time 501 motorcyclists have completed the workshops.
Each workshop is split into three sessions comprising of: road traffic collision scene management, first aid and the science of being seen. The sessions are designed with bikers in mind and tailored to deliver vital information, plus lifesaving skills in what to do at the scene of any road traffic collision.
The last session also helps to explain how motorcyclists can be more visible on the roads and explains that there is a science behind why people may look but don't always see a motorcyclist. The team provides some insight into simple skills whilst riding to decrease risk and prevent collisions.
The workshops are a national initiative started by Kent Fire & Rescue Service, with the scheme being adopted by many Fire Services across the country including Scotland and Wales.
In 2016 there were 54 fatal road traffic collisions in Devon and Somerset with another 654 casualties sustaining serious injuries. 169 of those killed or sustaining life changing injuries from these collisions were motorcyclists (motorcyclists only make up about 1% of road users).
How to manage a collision scene
The three hour workshops provide vital information to motorcyclists in how to manage a collision scene along with the necessary information the emergency services need to send out resources to any incident. They provide first aid skills in catastrophic bleeding, CPR and helmet removal.
Held at local Community Fire Stations across Devon and Somerset with each attendee receiving a free first aid kit, especially designed for motorcyclists (the workshops are co-funded and delivered in Partnership by our partner agencies from Devon County Council and Somerset County Council road safety teams).
Laura Pratt, Road Safety Manager for Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service said: "These free workshops are well attended, and the feedback to date has been really positive. It provides practical skills, knowledge, as well as enabling the Fire Service to help reduce collision risk and injury to this high risk group.
"The workshop helps to empower members of the public to intervene and provide life saving skills before the arrival of the emergency services, and gives them key understanding in the information required to keep themselves and others safe at any collision."
The workshops are run throughout the year and start again in the Spring of 2018. The dates are all on our Biker Down South WestFacebook page and motorcyclists can applied for a free place via a link on these pages.

18 August 2017
CAPS United could turn out to be the party spoilers and captain Hardlife Zvirekwi says they are not there to give any team favours.
Makepekepe gave title contenders FC Platinum a reality check at Rufaro on Wednesday, coming from behind to win 2-1
On Sunday they are back at the same venue to try and stop pacesetters Ngezi Platinum.
And Zvirekwi says they are there to concentrate on their own mission, even if it means shattering other teams' dreams.
"As the champions, whoever you play against, they will be looking forward to try and beat you. So every match we are going to play, regardless of what club it is, it is going to be a difficult match and we are not there to give any favours. We have our own mission and that is what matters for us," Zvirekwi told H-Metro.
The reigning Soccer Star of Year is experienced enough to understand setbacks and knows how to react.
CAPS United were overwhelmed by their participation in the CAF Champions league and they are slowly coming back into shape.
They have not lost any of their qualities and still have the luxury of some of the best players in the Premiership.
However, they are far behind and many have ruled them out of the title race.
"Obviously it was just a matter of being overwhelmed by too many matches in a short period of time.
"Now we have adjusted to the situation because that is what is there. We have to rise and play.
"In two or three days time we will be playing either mid-week or weekend. So I think we are finally getting into the groove and it is good for the team," Zvirekwi said.
CAPS United face a Ngezi Platinum team scoring for fun in the past matches.
Tonderai Ndiraya's charges have emerged as one of the favourites for the 2017 title. And there cannot be a better way to prove their credentials than to beat the champions.
The Warriors right back admits it will not be easy.
"We are taking each game as it comes and we are going to give it our best and see how it goes. The most important thing is to show our real potential as a team," said Zvirekwi.
Assistant coach Mark Mathe said: "There are so many games in hand that we need to play. And we have to try and strike a balance because most of the games are of high intensity and we have to manage the recovery period.
"We dropped points when we didn't want to but now we are happy with the way the team is picking up. I will reiterate that the main objective is that the next game we play, we have to pick up points and slowly go up the ladder."

Mol Gen Module 4
Terms in this set (30)
Describe, in order, the steps usually followed in producing recombinant DNA molecules in a plasmid vector.
-plasmid and the DNA molecule you're trying to clone are cut by the same restriction enzyme
-DNA fragment anneals to the sticky end of the plasmid with the help of DNA ligase
-the plasmid is introduced into a bacterial cell by one of several methods, including heat shock
-the plasmid is able to replicate within the cell and it replicates the foreign (recombinant) DNA along with its own genes
-the bacterial cells with the recombinant DNA are usually grown in a medium with antibiotic, along with normal cells
-the normal cells die, but the recombinant cells have antibiotic resistance, thanks to the genetic makeup of the plasmid
What is the specific application of reverse transcriptase in the preparation of cDNA?
synthesis of DNA to form RNA-DNA duplex
Of what advantage is it to have a polylinker region (multiple unique restriction sites) embedded in the lacZ component in the pUC series of plasmids?
insert of DNA in polylinker inactivates lacZ component and allows identification of recomb plasmids under proper genetic and environmental conditions
What might be a reasonable function of restriction endonucleases in a bacterium, distinct from their use by molecular biologists?
restrict or prevent viral infections by degrading invading viral nucleic acid
BamHI cuts the sequence 5′ G|GATCC 3′. Which of the following sequences would NOT be recognized by this enzyme?
Which of the following statements about ddNTPs is true?
They have a hydrogen at the 3′ carbon of the ribose sugar
What properties must a molecule have to serve as a vector?
It should be able to replicate itself independently, contain a number of unique restriction sites that would enable the insertion of DNA fragments cut with the same enzyme, carry a selectable marker, and be easy to retrieve.
Assume that a plasmid (circular) is 3200 base pairs in length and has restriction sites at the following locations: 400, 700, 1400, 2600. Give the expected sizes of the restriction fragments following complete digestion.
300, 700, 1000, 1200
Below are four processes common to most cloning experiments. Place components in the order in which they would most likely occur during a cloning experiment.
__3__ transforming bacteria
__1__ cutting DNA with restriction endonucleases
__2__ ligating DNA fragments
__4__ plating bacteria on selective medium
Some vectors such as pUC18 and others of the pUC series contain a large number of restriction enzyme sites clustered in one region. What term is given to this advantageous arrangement of restriction sites?
multiple cloning site
Most of the bacterial genomes described in the text have fewer than
10,000 genes
One of the dominant features of the immune system is the capacity to generate new cells that contain different combinations of antibodies. Because there are billions of such combinations it is impossible that each combination is coded by a separate gene. Explain in as much detail as you can how such diversity is accomplished in the case of the light chain of a typical antibody.
-Ab genes composed of segments (many copies of each segment, each slightly diff)
-segments joined to make immunoglobulin gene
-many possible combinations b/c joining of segments is random
-diversity is result of somatic recombination, which moves V segment next to J segment
-B cell transcribed into pre-mRNA w/ 1 V gene, several J genes, 1 C gene
-pre-mRNA processed into mRNA, which is translated to functional light chain
-break and nibble mechanism also helps increase diversity
What are three key differences between a genomic and a cDNA library?
1) cDNA library enriched w/ fragments from actively transcribed genes
2) introns don't interrupt cloned sequences in cDNA library
3) cDNA libraries only contain sequences from mature RNA
Mario Capecchi, Sir Martin Evans, and Oliver Smithies recently won a Nobel Prize for gene targeting (gene knockouts) in mice. Describe the steps involved in creating a knockout mouse.
Step 1: A normal gene is disabled by inserting neo+ gene
Step 2: The disabled gene is transferred to embryonic mouse stem cells
Step 3: The disabled copy recombines with the normal gene on the mouse chromosome
Step 4: The cells are grown on a medium that contains the antibiotic G418. Only the cells with the neo+ gene will survive.
Step 5: Cells containing a neo+ gene are injected into early mouse embryos, which are implanted into a pseudopregnant mouse
Step 6: Variegated mice are then interbred and produce some progeny that are homozygous for the knockout gene
List the three basic components required for a bacterial cloning vector and briefly describe the purpose of each.
1) origin of replication - ensures vector is replicated w/in cell
2) selectable markers - enable cells w/ vector to be identified
3) unique restriction sites- where DNA fragments can be inserted
A pedigree and Southern blot results in humans are shown below. Filled-in figures represent individuals expressing a dominant trait (hypothetical) for blue tongue. What can you say about the potential linkage relationship between the allele responsible for the trait? Shaded regions within the homologs represent sequences that hybridize to the probe used for the Southern analysis. Arrows indicate cleavage sites used for the Southern analysis.
-mutant allele responsible for the dominant trait is very likely to be linked to homolog B.
-important because determining which chromosome is carrying a mutant allele for a trait is often an important first step in beginning the process of isolating the gene, mapping it on a chromosome, and so forth
-homolog B can also be used as a reliable marker for the disease and can thus be used for diagnostic testing.

Describe the basic components for a typical plasmid cloning vector system and the reason/use for those plasmid vector components.
-contains polylinker, ampicillin-resistance gene, origin of replication
-polylinker able to recognize several restriction enzymes, resistance gene allows for selective amplification, origin of replication so vector can replicate in host cell
Describe the standard PCR method (in sufficient detail) and how this process is able to produce clones in a "cell-free" system.
-target DNA is denatured using heat, giving two single strands
-Primers are added to flank the DNA of interest, and extended using Taq DNA polymerase.
-result is two new pieces of whole DNA containing the targeted gene.
-repeated 25-40 times to yield the desired amount of clones.
-all of these cellular machinery can run in this artificial environment, it does not require a host cell
The haploid human genome contains about 3 × 109 nucleotides. On average, how many DNA fragments would be produced if this DNA was digested with restriction enzyme PstI (a 6-base cutter)? RsaI (a 4-base cutter)? How often would an 8-base cutter cleave?
PstI would result in an average of 4.8 DNA fragments,
RsaI would result in an average of 76.9 DNA fragments.
An 8-base cutter would cleave every 8 65,536 bases, on average

Bitcoin is finally on the verge of breaking out of the bearish sentiment that has gripped the cryptocurrency market, affirms the CEO of one of the world's largest independent financial advisory organisations.
The comments from Nigel Green, chief executive of deVere Group, follow surging Bitcoin prices over the last few days. On Friday, the world's largest and original digital currency jumped around 10% within 24 hours, pushing past $3,700 for the first time in three weeks.
"It was a relatively sudden jump, and, of course, positive news for those currently holding Bitcoin," observed Mr Green.
"However, the price only reached the top of the trading range and investors should not be popping champagne corks just yet."
The leading analyst explained he believed the new outlook for the market was being driven by three factors.
"First, there are widely published reports that according to a leaked interview with a commissioner, a Bitcoin ETF could imminently secure approval from the US securities watchdog," he said.
"Second, the development of the Lightning Network which will dramatically improve Bitcoin's well-documented scalability issues, allowing it to move towards mass adoption.
"And third, the 2020 Bitcoin halving. The code for mining Bitcoin halves around every four years and the next one is set for May 2020. When the code halves, miners receive 50% fewer coins every few minutes. History shows that there is typically a considerable Bitcoin surge resulting from halving events."
The deVere CEO concluded: "Bitcoin is the flagship cryptocurrency and, as such, we can expect when its value climbs, it will drive prices of other major digital currencies such as Ethereum and XRP."

Hotel Booking Tips
You might assume that booking a hotel is fairly easy and straightforward, but this is not always the case. It takes more than just knowing your destination and the date of your arrival to book the right hotel for your stay. They key to saving money and getting the amenities that matter most is being informed about the most helpful hotel booking tips. There are many common errors that are made when booking hotels, but following these tips helps you to avoid them and get the ideal room at an affordable rate.
Get the Best Room
Getting the best room at a hotel is not impossible. You can't always expect to have the best room during your stay, but it is more likely that you will book a room with the amenities that matter most to you if you book directly through the hotel website. If you book your hotel stay through the business website and also join a hotel loyalty program, you are more likely to get guaranteed better room placement. Additional features like Wi-Fi and complimentary breakfast are also more accessible when you book your stay on the hotel's website. Using online travel agencies to book your hotel might help you get better rates, but it will not get you better room placement.
Avoid Taxes and Fees
It is important that you are aware of lesser-known taxes and resort fees that are sometimes added to the nightly rates. This means that you should not book a hotel on just the flat rate alone. It is important that you inquire about resort fees at the time of booking. Some hotels attach fees for different services including cleaning, pool and spa use, processing and much more. This means that the only way to know if you are getting a really great rate is to inquire about any possible resort fees that might be assessed. If there are some services that you do not want access to, you may be able to fight some additional fees and have them dropped from your hotel bill. Save yourself problems by asking about fees beforehand.
Choose the Right Time
The key to getting the most affordable rates for hotel rooms is all about timing. The timing of when you book and when you are traveling is the biggest deciding factor in the amount that you will have to pay. It is always best to begin searching for hotels at least a month in advance of your trip in order to get access to the lowest rates. Any time after that will result in you paying higher prices for the same type of amenities. Contact a hotel like Windsor Lodge Como to get started.

Sagrada Familia Mosaic and Happy BlogDay 2006!
With this colorful picture of a mosaic detail on one of Sagrada Familia spires by Gaudi, I wish you all a Happy Blogday2006 or 3108, a number that looks like the word Blog and a day in which you are supposed to share five links and then use tag blogday2006. It is some sort of social experiment supposed to expand the blogosphere, creating more interaction among bloggers. So here they are:
- Barcelona Photobloggers, the blog that represents and unifies the photoblog community in Barcelona.
- Mexican Pictures an impressive photoblog about different countries describing common people.
- Photoschau, a German photoblog with spectacular pictures.
FotobyImran fantastic images posted from Singapore, Malaysia.
- Moodaholic, some other pictures that called my attention, from Denmark.
PS: Last Tuesday, August 29th Barcelona Photoblog was featured among other fellow bloggers in an article titled Ciudadano blog. Miles de bloggers de Barcelona copan con sus experiencias los diarios en internet by Borja Bujedo and Lucía Magí, published in La Vanguardia, an important newspaper in our country, edited in Barcelona. As it is the first time I ever appear in the papers or any media you can imagine how happy I felt. If the article has helped Barcelona or Spanish bloggers gain more recognition in the press and at the same time visitors got to know more about our daily work, it would be really rewarding. This could not have happened without all you people visiting me, thank you very much.
Update: I still remember this special event for Barcelona Photoblog. Thanks again for your support all these years!

Transcript The Economic Problem
Tutorial Chapter 1 The Economic Problem 1 1. The "invisible hand" described by Adam Smith refers to the a. allocative role of markets and market forces. b. importance of government intervention and central planning. c. actions of successful entrepreneurs in directing the economy. d. role of monopolized industries in leading the nation. A. This interaction between buyers and sellers in a free market described in the previous slide is an example of the "invisible hand." 2 2. When is a good or service scarce? a. It is rare and hard to come by. b. There is not enough of it available for everybody who wants it for free. c. There is plenty available for everyone who wants it. d. There is a shortage. B. Scarcity means that there is not enough of something so that everyone who wants it cannot have it for free. In this case, how do we decide who gets? Everything that is scarce will have a price, the price determines who gets and who does not get. 3 3. Human wants and desires are a. eventually satisfied in any society. b. constant from one time period to the next. c. virtually unlimited. d. limited and scarce. C. In our analysis of economics we assume that when given a choice, you want more rather than less. Each time you make a choice between alternatives, the choice made is the one that you believe will increase your total welfare. 4 4. Scarcity is an economic problem a. only in capitalist economies. b. only in command economies. c. only in poor countries. d. in every country and in every household. D. The only way not to have scarcity is for everyone to have everything they want for free, an impossible situation. 5 5. Economic analysis would be unnecessary if there were no a. taxes. b. government. c. scarcity. d. money. C. All of economic analysis revolves around the fact that we live in a world of scarce resources. Therefore, the problem becomes, how do we meet people's wants and needs in this world of scarcity? 6 6. Because resources are scarce, a. opportunity costs are zero. b. people must make choices among alternatives. c. all human wants and desires can be satisfied. d. resource prices are flexible. B. No matter what economic system people live in, all people's in every society are faced with the problem of scarcity. 7 7. Economics deals with the problems caused by a. scarce resources and unlimited wants. b. scarce resources and limited wants. c. abundant resources and unlimited wants. d. abundant resources and limited wants. A. No matter what political system people live under there will always be people who want more than the economy can provide them for free. 8 8. Resources are divided into the following broad categories: a. men, money, and machines. b. saving, spending, investment, and capital. c. human, technological, and government. d. land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurial ability. D. The four resources to grow an economy are land, labor, capital, and in a free market, entrepreneurship. In a command system, the fourth resource would be the government. 9 9. In economics, "land" refers a. only to plots of ground on the surface of the earth. b. to the specific area of the earth in a country or region. c. to rural regions as distinguished from urban areas. d. to any and all natural resources. D. A land resource is anything from the earth. Some examples of a land resource are: timber, fresh water, fertile land, copper, iron ore, gold, silver, and anything else that can be used from the earth that can be used to produce goods and services. 10 10. Physical and mental human effort in the attempt to solve the economic problem is defined in economics as a. labor. b. manpower. c. productivity. d. performance. A. The labor that we are talking about here is directed and productive labor. Labor that is directed to the production of goods and services helps build a productive economy. 11 11. Labor is ultimately derived from a. capital. b. technology. c. natural resources. d. time. D. This is particularly true when it comes to skilled labor. It takes time to acquire the knowledge and skills to be productive in this high tech economy we live in. 12 12. In economics, "capital" refers to a. money. b. stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. c. the seat of government. d. machines, buildings, and tools. D. Capital are those resources which can be used to produce goods and services. 13 13. Which of the following is not an example of "capital"? a. the copy machine which duplicated this exam. b. an economics professor's knowledge of economics. c. the building in which this class is located. d. the amount of tuition which you paid for this class. D. The copy machine and the school building are productive tangible things. The knowledge to work with capital is called human capital. But the tuition you pay is neither capital or human capital. 14 14. An entrepreneur is a. an intermediary between buyers and sellers in the marketplace. b. the organizer who seeks profitable opportunities and is willing to accept risks. c. a business organization involved in using inputs to produce output. d. the administrator who runs an enterprise without accepting any risk of financial loss. B. Someone has to decide what and how to produce goods, in a command economy it is the government, in a free market, it is the entrepreneur. 15 15. The driving force which directs and grows the economy in a free market economy is a. physical capital. b. technological ability. c. entrepreneurship. d. human labor. C. Anyone can be an entrepreneur, it does not necessarily take a lot of money. Entrepreneurship is an attitude more than anything else. If you have dreams of owning your own business and have a plan to start and develop that business into a profitable venture, and take action on your dreams, you are an entrepreneur. 16 16. In a production process, profit is the payment received by the a. capital. b. labor c. technology. d. entrepreneur. D. The reward to someone to take risks in a business venture is called profit. 17 17. Profit is also known as a. rent. b. mark-up. c. the monetary aggregate. d. the residual claimed by the entrepreneur. D. Residual is that which is left over. When one tallies up the total revenue and the total costs as a result of a business venture, if there is something left over, that something is called profit. If there is a deficit, a loss is incurred. 18 18. Unlike a service, a good a. is desirable. b. uses resources to satisfy wants. c. is physical and tangible. d. is abundant and free. C. The word 'good' is a term economists use to signify something physical and tangible that is useful. 19 19. Adam Smith believed that a. a strong central government promoted economic efficiency and growth. b. a republic would always foster economic freedom and growth. c. everyone would benefit from international trade and minimal government. d. a pure democracy was the best form of government. C. Adam Smith, the father of modern day economics, believed that the invisible hand of self interest would guide a free market economy to prosperity and growth. 20 20. Which of the following is a trait of an entrepreneur? a. They own and sell resources b. They are risk takers c. produce goods and services d. all of the above D. Without the influence of the entrepreneur a free market system could not function, if the entrepreneur is not the driving force, then the government takes over by default. 21 21. Which of the following traits are you demonstrating because you are a student? a. You have learned the lesson of delayed gratification b. You are a risk taker c. You have learned that to have more time and money in the future you have to give up time and money d. All of the above D. You are demonstrating some of the traits of an entrepreneur by the fact that you are in college. 22 22. The labor market is an example of a a. government market. b. classified market. c. communication market. d. resource market. D. Labor is one of the four resources. The market that labor is bought and sold is therefore called the resource market. 23 23. The economic behavior of individual decision makers and the determination of price and output in specific markets are both studies in a. microeconomics. b. macroeconomics. c. positive economics. d. normative economics. A. Microeconomics is the study of the decision making process of economics. 24 24. In macroeconomics, we analyze the a. workings of individual markets. b. overall performance of the economy as a whole. c. arrangements through which specific products are exchanged. d. influences on the decision making of particular households. B. Macroeconomics is the study the economy in the large, it's like if you were flying over the economy and able to see how all the different parts fit together. 25 25. The assumption of rational self-interest means that economic decision makers a. have no concern for the welfare of others. b. consider the welfare of others to be more important than their own happiness. c. know with certainty which choice will have the best result. d. make reasonable decisions based on their expectations of results. D. In order to make predictions as what people will do when faced with choices, we have to assume that they will act rationally. 26 26. In a free market a. there is always strife. b. nothing is constant, everything is in flux. c. economic slumps are inevitable. d. All of the above D. In our attempt to avoid inequities, slumps, and anything else we find objectionable we often make the situation worse, not better. We cannot thwart the market. 27 27. Rational economic decision makers will make a change only if a. the change is free of risk. b. there are no costs involved. c. their expectations are correct. d. expected marginal benefit exceeds expected marginal cost. D. Marginal benefit is measured by how much benefit one receives from the last act; marginal cost is a measure of the cost of that last act. One will chose to do something if the marginal benefit of the last act is greater than the marginal cost of that last act. 28 28. When economic choice involves adjustment to the existing situation, marginal analysis a. has no practical applications or real-world uses. b. eliminates incorrect decisions and bad choices. c. means comparing the additional costs and additional benefits of an activity before deciding. C. People make decisions based on the margin. For example, a person will buy a soda pop only if the expected pleasure received is greater than the value placed on the money that has to be given up to purchase the drink. 29 29. Economic information a. is scarce and costly to acquire. b. is available for free to any decision maker. c. is not required for rational decision making. d. must be complete before any decision is made. A. The government and businesses spend an enormous amount of resources on acquiring information. 30 30. The price mechanism a. gives incentives to the supplier b. determines the distribution of income c. will provide the skilled worker with a good income d. All of the above D. The price mechanism can only work if we allow prices to fluctuate in accordance to market forces, the more we impede this free flow of prices the less smooth the economic system operates. 31 31. The purpose of our Constitution is to make sure a. the federal government has enough power to regulate the economy. b. there is an equal distribution of income. c. power remains decentralized. C. The largest threat to our personal freedom is centralized power. Our Constitution divides the power base among different parts of government. 32 32. The "ceteris paribus" assumption means a. "after all other changes have been taken into consideration." b. "all economic decision makers behave according to rational self-interest." c. "marginal benefit equals marginal cost." d. "holding all other variables constant." D. Economists can make predictions only if one variable changes and everything else stays the same. For example, people will buy more Cadillac cars when the price goes down, assuming that their incomes or the price of other luxury cars do not change. 33 33. In a free market profits are maximized when a. prices are kept as high as possible. b. costs and prices both decline. c. the government controls prices. B. A good example of this principle is Wal-Mart. WalMart has prospered by lowering its costs and then lowering its prices to increase its sales volume. 34 34. What causes unemployment? a. A shortage of goods and services. b. Consumer's greed. c. Greed on the part of business owners. d. A surplus of goods and services on the market. D. That one thing that will cause business owners to lay off employees is when they are producing, or purchasing wholesale, more units than they are selling retail. 35 35. The difference between positive economic statements and normative economic statements is that a. positive statements are based on opinion and normative statements are based on fact. b. positive statements are true and normative statements are often false. c. positive statements are based on fact and normative statements are based on opinion. C. Positive economics is the study of what actually happens. For example, to predict that people will buy more Cadillac cars when the price goes down is an example of positive economics. To say that people should not waste money on luxury is normative economics. 36 36. The increase in the size and expense of national government worldwide has had a very negative side effect. That side effect is a. an increase in debt worldwide. b. smaller government. c. a fall in the value of the dollar. d. None of the above A. Large and increasing debts on the part of almost all governments worldwide is causing severe economic problems worldwide and limits our ability to solve the problems. 37 END 38

Networking and Enterprise Solutions for Hands-on Student Learning in the College of Business
The College of Business at Prairie View A&M University would like to give students more hands-on learning on hardware and software enterprise solutions: (1) a networking lab with laptops, and (2) enterprise software (SAP). Regarding networking, students will have access in a lab to laptops and communications hardware in business courses to learn about networking, IT security, and ecommerce. Regarding enterprise solutions, SAP enterprise resource planning software will be integrated into business courses to give students real-life implementations of enterprise software across all business disciplines.
The first part of the activity will create a hardware lab environment that will expose students to real-life hands-on learning and implementations of real-world network configuration and troubleshooting scenarios. The equipment will be used by students in business courses: Data Communications, Special Topics: IT Security, and Ecommerce.
The second part of the activity will train students to implement real-life enterprise-wide software solutions, enterprise resource planning, into the business curriculum, to showcase how companies integrate different business functions, such as technology, accounting, etc. in their operations, via SAP software. The primary aim would be to understand the role of enterprise systems in today's organizations with the practical exercises. The courses which will integrate SAP will span the business curriculum with initial emphasis on MIS Special Topics, Strategy and Policy, Production Operations, Accounting Information Systems, with additional courses later on in information systems, accounting, management, etc.
