History will be made tonight when Stephanie Frappart takes to the pitch to referee the Uefa Super Cup match between Chelsea and Liverpool.
The French referee will become the first female to take charge of a major UEFA men's game, a decision that was announced by UEFA on August 2nd.
Frappart is an experienced official and has taken charge of key matches in the footballing world including the finals of the Women World Cup that was played in July between the United States and the Netherlands in Lyon.
She also took charge of the 2017 UEFA Women's EURO semi-final where the Netherlands played England.
Frappart made history domestically in France as she became the first female referee to officiate a Ligue 1 match when she took charge of the match between SC Amiens and RC Strasbourg in April.
Ligue 1 will see a lot of her in the coming season after it was announced in June that the Val-d'Oise native would be promoted to join the pool of Ligue 1 referee on a permanent basis for the 2019/20 campaign.
Speaking ahead of the match, Frappart exuded confidence that she will get the job done, adding that there was no difference between the men and women football.
"Of course we feel ready," the 35-year-old said on the eve of the game. "We train a lot, all the time, we're not afraid about this game as we're always ready for all the games.
"I think there is not a lot difference, because football is the same. Only teams play differently, men and woman we cannot referee the same game: refereeing is the same, football is the same, I would do the same I do in women's football,"
Frappart will be assisted by Manuela Nicolosi and O'Neill of the Republic of Ireland, just as she was for the Women's World Cup final between the United States and the Netherlands.

We've been spoiled with historical TV series on Netflix, History and HBO. So, choosing the top ten medieval TV series is tough. But here goes!
Mel Gibson savaged Robert the Bruce in the movie Braveheart – so good to see Chris Pine saving the reputation of this Scottish king in his battles with the English king Edward I. It's silly fun from Netflix – don't expect anything too high brow. My one quibble – the dialogue should be a bit more relaxed and less "historical". Other than that – good watch!
You can't really go wrong with the Vikings. Blood, guts and battles. If you enjoy the History series, try watching some older movies for a different perspective. The 1958 movie The Vikings is a good Sunday afternoon watch over biscuits and coffee!
Pillars of the Earth brought us a murderous romp from the civil war that engulfed England under the reign of King Stephen. It was a period called The Great Anarchy that tore families apart and reduced some aristocrats to outlaw status. This was at the beginning of the Templar era and a very violent time for England. I loved this series – absolutely faultless.
Going a big vintage here. But this late 1950s/early 1960s TV adaptation of the novel Ivanhoe by Walter Scott deserves an honourable mention. Scott revived interest in the medieval period among 19th century Victorians. However, he cast the Templars as baddies. Scott saw them as enforcers for a cruel Norman nobility in old England.
Total nonsense about a young Leonardo da Vinci on a quest to find the "book of leaves". Set at the end of the Middle Ages and the dawn of the Renaissance. The series was pulled as it got sillier and sillier. But it's a decent enough romp through the corruption of Italy at its most artistic and innovative.
It's mythical, Tolkein with attitude and full of gory violence – but strangely, it captures the flavour of the Middle Ages quite well. Full of court intrigue and belief in strange beings that dwell in the forests, what's not to like as a medievalist? I'm always of the view that the Targaryen family are basically the long reigning Plantagenets of England who went a bit off the rails with Richard II. The dynasty ended with his murder and a usurper Henry taking over. Sounds familiar?
Like Pillars of the Earth, this comes from the pen of Ken Follett – only now we've moved about 150 years ahead. This is the reign of Edward III and again, it's after another civil war. The last king, Edward II, has been killed….or has he? Edward II, by the way, was the last king to preside over the Knights Templar before they were crushed.
BBC drama series takes us to the War of the Roses – the bloody end to the Middle Ages in England when the aristocracy tore itself to pieces. This focuses on the strong women who emerged in this conflict.
Merlin had a long grey beard when I was a kid but the BBC re-imagined him as a youth for this very dynamic and rather scary kids series.
This was a 1960s French TV series about a crusader – I just like the theme tune to be honest! It's a classic depiction of the Templars all neatly laundered white tunics and long flowing hair. Nobody seems to ever get filthy and dirty in the battle scenes.
Many of these TV series exerted a huge influence on the writing of my Templar novel Quest for the True Cross which you can download on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback in the US and UK. See if you can spot the TV historical influences! And watch the book trailer promo video here:

Police, not AAP government, will control CCTVs in the capital, recommends L-G panel
A six-member committee, constituted by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal earlier this month, is likely to regulate the installation of CCTV cameras in private and government buildings in the national capital, a source has said.
The committee, headed by Delhi Principal Secretary (Home) Manoj Parida, is currently in the process of preparing the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the installation and monitoring of CCTV cameras across the city.
Also read: CM Arvind Kejriwal held meeting at Delhi secretariat).
Parida is likely to convene a second meeting of the panel next week. The first meeting was held on May 11, ignoring the Delhi government's objection. The AAP dispensation has termed the committee as "illegal and unconstitutional".
A senior government official said that the committee was also working on modalities for the installation of CCTV cameras in private buildings to ensure that privacy of any individual was not "disturbed".
"The committee is seeking suggestions from experts and all stakeholders to prepare a common framework for installation and monitoring of CCTV cameras in the city.

"In other countries, there is a common SOP for CCTV cameras. The government will ensure that the privacy of any individual is not disturbed due to CCTV cameras installed in private and government buildings," the official said.
According to the order setting terms and reference of the committee, the use of surveillance camera system should not be permitted to become a "tool to violate" privacy of individuals which is considered to be a fundamental right.
The panel is likely to submit its report to the Lt Governor on June 8.
Recently, Delhi PWD Minister Satyendar Jain had expressed concern about the possible framework for private buildings to install CCTV cameras.
It comes at a time when the AAP dispensation is planning to install around 1.46 lakh CCTV cameras in about 1,000 schools run by the Delhi government.

Communist states have tight control over the media and force all published information to be from official sources and to be vetted through the state. Yet recently the democratic government of the United States posted the following statement on the White House's official government web site:
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For the federal government to ask Americans to send to them the emails of dissenting voices on the healthcare issue may sound innocent enough but it is far from innocent.
These are the thoughts and practices of totalitarian regimes and it can only lead to nefarious federal targeting of individuals. What will the White House do with this information? Will they promise not to target those who offer their contradictory opinions to the President's socialized medicine policy? Will they not delve into the identities of those who have a different opinion from the President on the issue?
The White House has actually and officially embarked upon an American witch-hunt by soliciting Americans to turn over dissenters of administration policy.
Hitler did this, Saddam Hussein did this but who in the world ever expected American President Barrack Hussein Obama to do something like this?
Oh of course President Obama's intent is not as nefarious as Hitler or Saddam Hussein. At least we hope not. But whose to stop him from having the IRS audit a blogger who claims that Obamacare is going to cost all Americans more in taxes and result in a loss of quality healthcare? By the administration's definition such a statement is disinformation. Will they emulate Iraq and pull down my blog because of that opinion?
Exactly how un-American is the administration prepared to get?
They have already flagged conservatives as terrorists. They have done everything possible to paint those who participate in Tea Party demonstrations as dangerous Republican backed extremists and they have had a mentality similar to the British fists that attempted to quell the first American revolution against the Crown.
I have forwarded the follow message to the White House's firstname.lastname@example.com email address. It reads as follows:
As for flagging disinformation, I am the author of a political web site that sets the record straight. It defies those policies which increase America's march to socialism under liberal leadership. The information in it may not quite jive with the propaganda presented by the White House but I offer it to you as a site for you to react to in your vile campaign to flag emails and to police the opinions of the American people.
Perhaps placement in a gulag will be your wish for me. Maybe you will take a page from Iran and take my site down. However the current statist regime wants to treat it, please do. I relish the attention that your heavy handed communist fists would bring by silencing this American. You can find my site at https://politics247.wordpress.com/ . I look forward to your retribution and the ensuing struggle that it will give birth to.
So I fully expect to be placed on a White House terrorist watch list by morning.
And since wordpress is a platform for my dissenting voice I fully anticipate that it too shall soon fall victim to the government scrutiny and with it so will all of you who state an opinion that contradicts the new American socialist hero and liberal messiah President and Supreme Commanding Ruler Barrack H. Obama.
Heil Obama!

Haydarpaşa Station: End of the Line?
"People are always telling you that change is a good thing. But all they're really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all... has happened. My store is closing this week. I own a store, did I ever tell you that? It's a lovely store, and in a week it will be something really depressing, like a Baby Gap."
There's a wonderful old Turkish poem by Orhan Veli called "Istanbul'u Dinliyorum, Gözlerim Kapalı" - "I am Listening to Istanbul with My Eyes Closed." While the bird songs and gentle breezes of Veli's Istanbul have mostly given way to taxi horns and pop music, sitting and listening with my eyes closed is still one of my favourite ways to encounter the city.
I'm out in Kadıköy doing errands and thought a little stop in at Haydarpaşa Station would be fun, for old times' sake. Back when I lived up the coast from here, this station was a frequent stop for me. Its position on the edge of the Bosphorus means it's literally the last stop in Asia. It's also the end of the line on the Haydarpaşa-Gebze commuter train - the one we used to ride to and from school. Its ferry dock made it extra convenient when heading across to the European side, and it was an easy walk from the station to Kadıköy's waterfront shops and bus/dolmuş terminal.
My time spent in the station was only ever brief as I was always running from ferry to train or vice versa, so I decided to sit and have tea and a snack at the famous old Gar Lokantası (Station Restaurant) and see what there is to see here if one actually stops and sits still. A look around the dining room revealed only male patrons, so I took a table outside next to the tracks where I'd be more comfortable. And as I sip my tea and savour my bread and eggplant salad, I'm listening to the sounds of the station, a la Orhan Veli.
From inside the restaurant comes the tinkle of spoons stirring sugar into tiny tulip-shaped tea glasses and the chatter of lunchtime companions. Swallows twitter in the rafters and from the wharf comes the laughter of seagulls as they compete for pieces of simit tossed into the air by those sipping tea at outdoor tables. The station itself is nearly empty, save for two or three clerks in the ticket booth and the folks who run the snack stands and the barber shop, and the man who collects money at the toilets. A maintenance man shuffles by, the swish of his broom clearing the gleaming floor of any bits of dust.
The melancholy song of the ezan coming from the Haydarpaşa Mosque is punctuated by the distant horn-honking cacaphony of Kadıköy's permanent traffic jam, both muffled by the station's thick stone walls. The low moan of ferry horns more insistent than usual, due, no doubt, to the thick fog blanketing the Bosphorus today.
A ferry docks and there is a clatter of heels and suitcase wheels on the marble floor as an automated female voice announces that the next train to Pendik leaves in five minutes. A handful of passengers hurriedly punch Akbils and swipe Istanbul Cards, the turnstiles sound out two tones for a regular fare, four for a discounted transfer, and the dreaded and highly embarrassing three tones for "yetersiz bakiye" - "insufficient credit."
Amidst the buzz of cell phone chatter and high school gossip as passengers exiting the station swish by my table, the high-pitched shriek of a whistle announces the departures of the Pendik train. There is a loud hiss as the air brakes are released, followed by the slow, methodical clicking of the train easing out of the station. Benches creak as those who missed the train on account of an urgent bathroom break or an empty Istanbul Card settle in to wait for the next one. And, apart from the teaspoons and the swallows, the station is once again quiet.
Too, too quiet.
The Haydarpaşa I remember was a place of constant motion, with whistles and shouts and a dozen trains coming and going and hundreds of passengers milling about at any given time. It was never silent. What I'm hearing - or not hearing - today confirms in my heart what the newspapers have already been warning me is true: Haydarpaşa's golden era is over.
Construction of the new Istanbul-Ankara Express and the Marmaray project's extension of the Metro line up the Asian side (with eventual plans to build a tunnel under the Bosphorus to connect it with the European side) have led to the "temporary" thirty-month cessation of all long-distance trains in and out of Haydarpaşa, leaving only the Pendik commuter train. What will happen when the project is complete remains to be seen. Some say regular trains to the interior of the country will resume. Others speculate that this glorious building will be converted to a museum or, heaven forbid, a shopping mall.Designed by German architects Otto Ritter and Helmut Conu, the current building was completed in 1909 under the supervision of Sultan Abdülaziz. Besides being the starting point of journeys to all points in Anatolian Turkey, it was the terminus of the old Baghdad Railway (İstanbul-Konya-Adana-Aleppo-Baghdad) and the Hejaz Railway (İstanbul-Konya-Adana-Aleppo-Damascus-Amman-Medina) as well as the Trans-Asia Express running to and from Tehran.
Sitting here, I can picture this station in its heyday. How many starry-eyed travelers or immigrants from the east stepped off the train and right here in this very spot, inhaled their first breath of salty Bosphorus air and got their first glimpse of the minarets of the Old City across the water? How many mothers stood here crying and waving handkerchiefs as sons went off to war? How many lovers kissed goodbye and hello again right here in this hall? How many commuters have jumped from the ferry and run through these turnstiles to catch a train to or from work or school?
And now, one lonely train trundles out every twenty minutes. And in between, nothing but the tinkle of teaspoons.
I know that progress is good for the city. The new metro line will ease congestion on the road and shorten the commute for millions of Istanbullus. The renovation of the derelict waterfront will give the city a more polished face with which to greet tourists. And it's not like they're tearing the building down altogether. But the fact that this grand station which has been so much a part of the city's history, and also of mine, will likely no longer get to live out the purpose it was created for.....it just makes me sad. This city is filled with enough Byzantine and Ottoman ruins to convince me that just because a place was bustling and alive in its day, that doesn't mean it won't eventually become a rundown, padlocked building on a City Walks historical map. Or worse, something horrible like a bowling alley.
"Will the restaurant stay open if this ceases to be a train station?" I ask.
"I hope so. I love this old place. Everyone loves this place." He stares at the empty tracks. "But there's no guarantee."
As I leave, I notice that the stand from which I used to often buy a "sosisli" (a distant and disappointing cousin of the hot dog) on my way home had closed down. I ask the guy at the snack shop next to it what had happened.
Gesturing towards the several empty stalls in his row, he shrugs. "Not enough business anymore."
Gesturing towards the several empty stalls in his row, he shrugs. "Not enough business anymore."
Heading back up the road from the station to downtown Kadıköy, the normally cheery sign above the exit makes my breath catch in my throat.
"Güle güle!" it calls out. "Goodbye, Haydarpaşa." Hopefully not for the last time.

Dynex Power Announces 2017 Results
Dynex Power has reported significant revenue growth and improved cash flow
Lincoln, England, March 29, 2018 - Dynex Power Inc. (TSXV: DNX), a leading, high power, semiconductor company, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31st, 2017.
Revenue for the year of $47.5 million was 17% higher than in the preceding year. In sterling terms (sterling weakened approximately 6% versus the Canadian dollar), revenue grew by approximately 25%, and was the highest in the history of the company. The growth in revenues was driven by a strong performance across all lines of business.
The Group reported a gross profit of $6.1 million for the year, equivalent to 12.9% of revenue, compared to a gross profit of $2.1 million, or 5.2% of revenue, last year. The growth in gross profit was achieved through a higher volume of business, improved execution, and lower inventory provisions.
Expenses decreased from $8.0 million in 2016 to $6.9 million in 2017. This headline decrease was driven by other income of $1.5m, with underlying expenses (excluding other income) of $8.4 million, an increase on 2016 of $0.4 million. Accounting for this increase were research and development costs which rose by $ 0.2 million, and foreign exchange losses of $0.2 million.
Dynex recorded a loss before tax of $0.8 million in 2017, compared to a loss before tax of $5.9 million in 2016.
Dynex reported positive operating cash flow of $3.3 million in 2017 compared with negative operating cash of $0.5 million in 2016. This was helped by a reduction in inventory of $0.9 million. Free cash flow was a positive $2.7 million, compared to a negative $0.5 million in 2016. EBITDA strengthened to $4.4 million, compared to a negative EBITDA of $0.5 million in 2016.
New orders received in 2017 totalled $42.5 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9. The closing order book at the end of 2017 was $9.1 million, compared with $13.4 million at the end of 2016. The market is moving towards shorter lead times; the Company is responding to this through improvements in operational efficiency, strategic stocking on high volume parts, and more efficient marketing.
Clive Vacher, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Dynex made substantial progress in 2017, following the robust five-workstream turnaround plan tabled at the AGM in June. The key performance metrics show strong improvement, and the financials have followed. Most importantly, from a product perspective, our progress in 2017 has provided the confidence that Dynex can be a leader in the industry, with market-leading levels of technology, quality and performance. Much work still needs to be done to bring sustained profitability and growth, and there are some short-term concerns related to the current backlog. As a result of the diminished backlog, we will not be able to sustain a revenue level that shows profitability in the first quarter of 2018. However, we are intensely focused on increasing order intake. This, coupled with some significant cost reductions, forms part of the next iteration of the turnaround plan, which intensively focuses on long-term financial stability and growth. It will take time, but our confidence is high."
Alan Lyons, Chief Financial Officer added, "The results for 2017 are a very positive improvement. As our operational efficiency improvements continue, the results will translate into improved financial performance. While we continue to pursue the goal of further revenue growth in 2018, we are also focusing on cost reduction and working capital initiatives to improve our margin and operating cash flow. Specifically, our cost reduction activities are progressing well, and we will build on $1m of annualised savings that we are expecting to lock in during Quarter 1 2018. The first half of 2018 will be challenging, but we intend to build on the positive improvements of 2017 and show success in 2018 and beyond."
Mr Liu Ke'an, the Chairman of Dynex, commented "Dynex's results in 2017 demonstrate a material improvement in performance. This represents a very encouraging basis for further improvements in 2018. The leadership team has my full support. I am growing in my confidence that the business now has the momentum it needs to succeed well into the future."

Peaches vs Sugar
This is my thoughts on Peaches & Creme cotton yarn by Elmore-Pisgah Inc. versus Sugar 'n Cream by Lily. I tend use P&C more than SnC for 1 reason only – WalMart carries it and WalMart is close.
Personally I like SnC better. It's softer. Other than that they knit up very similar. WalMart has limited colors, but they are very inexpensive and they are the closest to home. And with gas prices the way they are that makes it doubly cheap.
Lion Brand has a version too, but I've never used it. Lion Brand runs about $4.99 a ball. SnC runs $2.19 to $2.41 per ball. And P&C is about $1.27 – which is another advantage. Red Heart has a version also ($2.19) which I've never used it either.
I've been using the yarn with the following pattern. Pot Holder / Hot Pad (requires registration). It's a pot holder that uses 3 strands knit together. It makes a nice springy, thick piece. And when it washes it shrinks up a bit and tightens up. I've been giving them as gifts. And so far they've gone over well.
I've been using the following patterns for embellishments.
Elmore-pisgah Kitchen, Bed and Bath Patterns
Peas and Carrots Scrubber Cloth
They make really cute gifts. I've put snaps on the peas, carrots, and sunflowers so that the pot holder remains functional (as well as decorative). Plus I usually don't wash the pot holders before I give them so there is a chance the green peas and orange carrots may bleed when washed.
When I finally use the other brands I'll give my thoughts on them.

A Look Into A Contrarian Value Approach by Jay Kaplan, The Royce Funds
Portfolio Manager Jay Kaplan discusses his contrarian value investment approach and how he finds bargains in the small-cap market.
See the video here.
What is a contrarian value investment approach?
I like to call what I do a contrarian value approach but what does that mean? What do I think that means? Well, let's talk about contrarian and then we'll talk about value.
Contrarian– I buy companies that people really don't like – companies that people hate; companies where the expectations are low but they are good companies. They are financially sound companies. They earn good returns on capital. They're in good businesses but usually there's an issue. It's probably a temporary issue.
One of my jobs is to figure out if the issue is temporary or if the issue's permanent (they're usually temporary) and figure out what the issue is.
Sometimes actually it's not even real. Sometimes it's perception. Sometimes it's real. Sometimes it's about a product. Sometimes it's about a market. Sometimes it's about a cycle.
But there's an issue and the expectations that Wall Street and the investor world have for these companies are usually very, very low and I'm trying to find prices and that's the value part of this – prices that are low, along with those expectations.
So I am trying to buy well-financed, good companies when they are on sale, with a willingness to take on the issue, to have the patience for the issue to be solved, with the understanding that the price I am paying is low enough to compensate me for the risk of that operating issue.
If I do it right, I have two possible ways to win. If the performance of the company is better than that low expectation, the stock will likely go up; that's kind of how the market works and that's really good.
Then, if there's a continuous performance in that same direction, the multiple or the valuation probably goes up as well, so then I have won twice. I have won because performance is better and I've won because the valuation is better. That is the idea. If I get it wrong, hopefully I have paid a low enough price where I don't get hurt too badly and that, to me, is contrarian value.

If you worked for 6ix9ine, you're now unemployed.
Tekashi 6ix9ine took to Instagram on Thursday to announce the firing of his entire team, including his management. The "Tati" rapper is renowned for obnoxiously screaming "TR3YWAY," who manages the rapper. According to his recent post on Instagram, this relationship has gone sour. "I got no manager, no booking agent, no pr, no publicist….. It's just me," says the "Gummo" rapper.
He also says his American Tour is canceled. "Whoever is booking shows for Tekashi 6ix9ine, is stealing your f***ing money," he says.
The rainbow colored hair rapper has been the essence of controversy and legal drama since his rise to fame. He has beef with a number of rappers including, YG and Trippy Redd. Earlier this week, he encountered a shooting at the filming of his video with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj in Beverly Hills. No one was harmed. The incident caused his label, Universal Music Group almost $500,000. On Wednesday, Nov. 14, the sexual misconduct charges were dropped against him, after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct.
Despite the beef and court cases, the rapper has been a consistent hitmaker all year. His triple-platinum track, "FEFE" peaked at number 3 on the Hot 100 charts this past summer.
With just one week away from the release of his upcoming album, Dummy Boy, he ends the post by promoting it. The album is set the feature, fellow NY rapper, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Tory Lanez, Lil Baby and more. He recently teased his song with Lanez and A Boogie via IG as well. We'll continue to monitor the firing as the story unfolds.

HONIARA, Solomon Islands (PFnet, Jan. 3) - The Minister of Finance and Treasury, Hon. Gordon Darcy Lilo, announced [yesterday] an increase in the determined prices used to calculate the export duty of round logs.
The new determined prices have increased by about 30 percent to reflect the rise in international log prices over the recent years. This increase is expected to result in a substantial increase in export duty revenue.
"This is the first time that determined prices have been revised since 2003. The old prices were out of date and as a result, Solomon Islands were losing precious export duty revenue," the Minister said. "This change means that Government revenue may rise by around SB$40 million [US$5.7 million] per year. This is revenue that the Government will use to provide services to the community and achieve our rural development goals and aspirations," the Minister added.
Mr. Lilo made his decision based on advice from the Comptroller of Customs and the Commissioner of Forests.
"My decision is based on careful analysis carried out by the Customs and Forestry Department. That analysis showed that average prices for round logs are much higher than the old determined prices," the Minister said
In future, reviews of the Determined Price mechanism will occur on a quarterly basis and determined prices will be adjusted to reflect movements in international log prices.
The Finance Minister said he understood that this was a big adjustment for the forestry industry.
"Determined prices have not been updated for so long, hence we now need a large increase to reflect changes in market prices. Forestry businesses, in this regard, have accumulated many benefits over the years from low determined prices and low duties, Mr. Lilo said.
According to the Central Bank, forestry provides almost 65 per cent of Solomon Islands export income and just under 15 per cent of the total production of the economy. Natural forests are expected to run out within the next five to seven years. The Central Bank and many reputable institutions have expressed concerns that this rate of logging is unsustainable.

Standing at the back of the Ryman Auditorium, I find myself tearing up in front of a display honoring Patsy Cline. When I was a toddler, we lived next door to her. Whenever she came over, she'd flick her red, white and blue cigarette lighter that played Dixie for me. She recorded my late father Bob Montgomery's song "Back in Baby's Arms." The next display is on Marty Robbins, who Dad produced later in his career.
I grew up in Nashville, Tenn., with parents in the music business — Dad, who got his start as a teen with Buddy Holly and went on to have 60-year career as a songwriter, producer, publisher and music label executive, and Mom who was a background singer for Elvis, Bob Dylan and a host of others. I worked as a teen and after college for Dad's publishing company on Music Row and had access to the recording studios, listening parties, guitar pulls and industry showcases where you could hear the latest.
On my most recent visit to my hometown, I'm proud to see that you no longer need to be an insider to fully enjoy Nashville's vibrant music scene and learn the rich history behind the many genres of music coming out of it. Lonely Planet just named Nashville to its 2016 Best in Travel: Top 10 Cities in the World, the only one in the U.S. to make the list.
Nashville's always been a friendly town, but now visitors are treated like a back-door neighbor, welcome any time. Signage shaped like guitar picks make it easy to find one of the 150+ live music venues, and major expansions of its music museums and the opening of new ones hit the right notes in telling its story.
The meticulously-restored Ryman Auditorium, the Mother Church of Country Music, unveiled a $14 million renovation and expansion last summer, making the entry to the venue easier with a new box office, an expanded lobby and adding an onsite cafe and a multi-media experience that gives you a quick overview of its history. The Ryman tops many artists' list as a favorite venue to play due to its world-class acoustics. When the Grand Ole Opry returns to the Ryman on Saturday nights during the spring, summer, and fall, do drop in, but get your tickets early.
For many years dressing rooms and space backstage were nonexistent at the Ryman, so Opry regulars like Hank Williams, Lynn Anderson, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Hank Cochran, and Roger Miller partied and performed at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge while they waited to go on. Now the action is found on its new rooftop bar where the hottest new classic country acts take the stage, and if you've got aspirations of your own, ask about Tootsie's Honky Tonk Bootcamp.
The Country Music Hall of Fame (CMHOF) recently expanded to the tune of $100 million, adding 210,000 sq. ft. with a new theater, The Taylor Swift Education Center and interactive displays where you can test your talent for costume designing or songwriting. At CMHOF, you can also purchase tickets for a tour of Hatch Show Print, which has done all the letterpress posters for the Grand Ole Opry since its inception, and to RCA's Studio B (a favorite with Elvis and where my dad produced his hits on Bobby Goldsboro) just a 10-minute bus ride to Music Row.
Last fall the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum (MHFM), which honors world-class musicians not only from Nashville, but from music epicenters around the nation ranging from Muscle Shoals, Ala., to Detroit, doubled its space. There I spy a tribute to Corki Casey O'Dell, one of the first women musicians inducted into the MHFM. Corki played rhythm guitar with Duane Eddy and is married to Kenny O'Dell, who wrote "Behind Closed Doors," the song that put Dad's House of Gold Music on the map. For those who want the story behind the music, it's not to be missed.
Plan to spend at least an hour at the Johnny Cash Museum, where you'll get to know the Man in Black and his diverse interests, including philanthropy to architecture. When Cash's lakeside rock house was still under construction, Dad took us out to see it, and the unique structure, which was destroyed by fire, is highlighted.
Downtown on Second Avenue in a renovated four-story building is the year-old George Jones Museum, which spotlights Jones' storied career and includes a restaurant and a rooftop bar where his namesake White Lightning is served. The rebel singer's music has found a whole new generation of fans thanks to breakout star Chris Stapleton's revival of his "Tennessee Whiskey."
If you work up an appetite taking a walk down music memory lane, mosey over to Alan Jackson's Acme Feed & Seed. The restored 100-year-old, four-story former feed store celebrates its second birthday on July 4. On the lower level, the bustling restaurant serves classic Southern favorites on communal tables made from 400-year-old reclaimed heart of pine. Browse its gift shop, featuring locally made items from craftspeople and artists, while you wait. On its main stage, you'll hear a wide range of genres from big band, reggae, blues, rock, country, electronic, gospel, funk and more. Thursday nights its talented 10-piece house band the Music City Toppers, featuring some of Nashville's best musicians, takes the stage. Jackson has been known to pop in as well as other artists after playing The Opry or a concert at Bridgestone Arena, both nearby.
Decorated with comfy vintage couches and colorful outsider farm-themed art curated by local artist Sheila B, the second floor sports billiards and a more relaxed feel with intimate performances by singer/songwriters. Tucked in the corner is Sam's Sushi – Nashville's sushi master answer to New York City's Soup Nazi. The third floor is reserved for ticketed concerts.
My favorite sunset view of Lower Broadway and the Cumberland River is from Acme's rooftop lounge. Arrive early because once the sun goes down popular local DJs Rate and Coach spin everything from country rock to classic R&B, and the lounge gets packed. Drinks include a selection of local craft beers and 64 whiskeys. Sundays from 1-5 p.m. is Champagne Jam.
Some of the best new or improved spots to hear live music are in SoBro (South of Broadway). A triple-decker that delivers is on Cannery Row: flagship Mercy Lounge occupies the ground floor. Here you'll find swiftly rising rock bands, homegrown songwriters and pop acts. Chill in its backroom with pool tables or on its small patio between sets. On the second floor is the 1,100 seat Cannery Ballroom that attracts headliners like Bon Jovi, Adele, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Katy Perry, and John Fogerty. On the top floor perches The High Watt with high ceilings and a city view. It's a favorite with hipsters and local music lovers who know they're likely to hear the next big artist here. Next door is Nashville resident Jack White's Third Man Records, where Neil Young recently recorded, along with White's tiny shop that sells limited-edition vinyl records.
Better than ever is 3rd & Lindsley with a new layout, new sound system and an expanded stage. A regular act is Tim Akers & The Smoking Section. Akers is Rascal Flatt's music arranger and a stellar keyboardist. When The Smoking Section is onstage, it is "smoking" just as the name implies. Music icons like Delbert McClinton and Michael McDonald (Doobie Brothers) sometimes sit in. On Monday nights Vince Gill plays with the Time Jumpers, made up of Nashville session musicians.
Nashville's hippest new neighborhood The Gulch — home to the mother church of bluegrass The Station Inn — boasts one of my favorite restaurants across the street: The 404 Kitchen. James Beard nominated Chef Matt Bolus presides over the 56-seat restaurant constructed out of a shipping container. His ever-changing menu is based on the best offerings from his local sources. A seat at the bar gets you face-to-face with Travis Brazil, the sommelier/mixologist, known for his Nearest Green, a cocktail made with Tennessee's Jack Daniels. He's also notable for his extensive whiskey offerings and his rare and unusual wine list as well as his skill as a storyteller.
I meet Ron Oates, who played piano on and arranged most of my dad's hit productions, and his wife for dinner at industry favorite The Row Kitchen & Pub. Serving up a heaping helping of Southern comfort food and Music Row's history, The Row features singer/songwriters playing hour-long sets nightly. Comfortable booths are dedicated to the town's hit songwriters. If you want to sample the local drink, go for Moonshine Mondays.
Snagging one of the 22 perches at the surprisingly low-key Catbird Seat, Tennessee's only five-star/five-diamond restaurant, requires planning ahead. Your reward is a front-row seat as its new Executive Chef Ryan Poli and his talented team prepares a 10-course meal — not as daunting as it sounds since each offering provides a few perfect small bites. At the end of the evening, my friend Robert Hicks, best-selling author of "The Widow of the South," and I agree that our meal there ranks as one of the most memorable of our lives. The speakeasy Patterson House downstairs attracts Nashville's young and beautiful crowd, and offers one of the town's most creative craft cocktail menus. Try it while you wait for your seating.
After a late night out on the town, nothing tastes better than brunch. A favorite in the Gulch is Biscuit Love Brunch, which has a ham bar with locally-sourced meats. On the weekends, head to classy Josephine in the vibrant 12 South neighborhood. The Post East, a combination coffee/juice/smoothie bar and bakery in East Nashville, throws a Bluegrass Brunch on Sundays that features some of the best pickers in the area. When I meet my brother singer/songwriter Kevin Montgomery and his friend comedian/Elvis impersonator Gary Jenkins for brunch there, sure enough we see headliners from the Grand Ole Opry the night prior. Like most places, it's jammed with music lovers, so be sure and arrive early.

A basic terminology: jack - wooden or plastic block with a pivoted mechanism, plectrum and felt damper tongue - small pivoted part holding the plectrum plectrum - a plastic piece or a quill inserted in a tongue
Needed: - plectrum material (a sheet or cut pieces) or pre-voiced ones (not recommended) - voicing scalpel, a small hardwood block, a watchmaker flat screwdriver - if possible, a special device for supporting (underlaying) a tongue
First task is to get the rest of the broken plectrum from the tongue. A good way to achieve this is: cut the plectrum so that it protrudes only ca. 1mm from the tongue. Using the screwdriver try to push the plectrum through the tongue, always in a direction from the string back.
Cut the plectrum from the sheet in a conical way, it should be 2,5 mm wide on one end and 1,5 mm on the other. Be very careful about a grain direction - it must be cut lenghtwise. Carefully insert the plectrum to the tongue, at the same time support the tongue from the other side (either with a finger or - better - using for this purpuse made device). If the plectrum is slightly warped, it should be oriented upwards. Put the plectrum in just using a slight force. Remaining wide part cut skew (see the picture) and press it now firmly in, but not more than ca. 1mm. If the plectrum protrudes more than 1-1,5 mm, trim it.
Too narrow plectrum is to throw away remorselessly. Too wide one narrow down using a scalpel.
Check the plectrum lenght: it should go 0,5 - 1 mm beyond the string. When cutting the lenght, have the jack upside down, the plectrum underlaid with a voicing block. Watch out for a correct angle (ca.30 degrees). Now, big fun comes at last: cut the underside of the plectrum, first a bit skew from the left side, a bit skew from the right side and then flatwise. Start from the middle to the tip. Next cut make from the plectrum root to its tip again. Repeat these steps until the sound and touch corresponds with neighbouring keys.
After each phase check the shape. The tapering has to be strictly gradual with no thinner areas. If cut too deep by mistake, it should be replaced immediately. If the result is a bit softer than surrounding keys, it can be rescued by pushing the plectrum a little towards the string (1mm), if it still sits tightly in the tongue. All cuts should be made ONLY from the underside of the plectrum. Try to move smoothly without cut marks. Good luck!

If you thought the #femalepresence was felt in 2017, wait until you hear all about what this year has in store. We're only 5 days into 2018 and already we are seeing wonderful things from the female community. What a great time to be a GODDESS!
Meet Kamiesha Garbadawala, a Jamaican born Abstract Expressionist artist.
Rather than internalizing her struggles, pains, life experiences and personal traumas, Kamiesha has shared parts of herself with the world in the form of art.
If you were given a blank canvas and told to paint with your emotions, what color would you choose to express anger? Would your strokes be heavy and long when thinking of love? Would your palette be filled with natural colors when feeling nostalgic? Or would your blank canvas be transformed into a beautiful mess, painting with all the colors the world has to offer? That's what Kamiesha's work reminds me of. The ability to wear your heart on your sleeve and do so in a way that is true to who you are and how you feel.
Authenticity and Sincerity can be felt in her work.
The Artist
"Art has allowed me to express myself in a way that I had not been able to through other forms of communication. I am comfortable speaking through my art. So in that sense, I want my children to have the freedom to express their feelings and emotions through whatever outlet they choose, including art. I believe art can be therapeutic both by creating it and by interacting with it, and I hope my art speaks to people in a way that brings comfort."
Have your Jamaican roots inspired any of your artistic and design work?
"I have been blessed by having the combination of a Jamaican family while being raised in the United States. Being born in Jamaica is a part of who I am, and I am extremely proud to be a part of such a rich culture that has nurtured my spirit. My Jamaican background undoubtedly influenced my work, especially on an emotional level. It has to do with my upbringing and strong work ethic my parents instilled in me along with their encouragement to pursue my dreams. My father always told me that I would be a happy woman, because I do what I love (as a creative/in my career). There's a wonderful energy to Caribbean culture that is demonstrated by beautiful colors in patois, reggae music and the memories created through these experiences."
What was the biggest challenge you faced with your first company, Alric Suba?
"There was so much I didn't know! I was a 25 year-old designing and making my own line of luxury handbags; from sketches, to sourcing materials, to creating samples, all the way to convincing storeowners to carry my product. As much as I loved my work, the pressures of running a business, managing cash-flow, and continuing to develop new product lines, were all new to me, and I didn't have the knowledge I would have liked."
"It's important to seek mentors, ask for advice and understand that there is even opportunity in making mistakes: to learn from them."
Who is your favorite designer and/or artists?
"I have two favorite Abstract Expressionists artists who have inspired my work, both are part of the "New York School", Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning, but I also admire and enjoy the work of some of my contemporaries. I recently saw Cecily Brown's exhibition "A Day! Help! Another Day!" and I was very impressed by her technical ability and masterful use of color. I would also say, my friend James Austin Murray; I love the darkness of his body of work, not in spirit but in its sophistication- and lastly, Anselm Kiefer and Diana Al-Hadid. Their texture and layering techniques are stunning."
More about Kamiesha
In Dec. 2017, Kamiesha made her first debut at SCOPE during Art Basel in Miami Beach.
Calls NYC home.
Graduated from The Parsons School of Design.
Worked as a designer for Polo Ralph Lauren and Henri Bendel.
Launched her very own line of handbags with Barneys.
Was recently selected to do a solo exhibition in NYC to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

I boarded the train, spotted an open single seat, and sat down to pen my First Class Chronicles, Farewell to Cannes. I was leaving Cannes not having sold my film but pretty satisfied with the connections I made and a chance to build on those connections.
And then this happened…
French dude approaches and says, "Je suis désolé monsieur, vous êtes assis dans mon siege."
Translation: I'm sorry sir you are sitting in my seat.
I collect my things and move to my assigned seat. My seatmate is reading and appears pensive, unbothered by my intrusion. After a while, I introduce myself to her. Her name is Muriel.
Muriel: Were you in Cannes for the film festival?
Reggie: Yes, I was.
I use that as a segue to start talking about my various film projects. First, In the Spotlight, then Yesterday, then Code Switch. I save the BTM Travel Documentary for last.
I start by telling her about how I founded Black Travel Movement. I go on to tell her about the narrative arc of the film and my vision for the documentary project. I end by saying what I always say… "and I am going to sell it to Netflix for $10M."
And Muriel says, "I can help you with that. I know all of the right people at Netflix."
Hold my mule.
Me: So what exactly is it that you do in the movie industry?
Muriel: I work in film financing.
Look at God!
Muriel: I did the financing for A Long Walk to Freedom, the Nelson Mandela story, and for King, the MLK Movie with David Ayelowe.
Now, I am sure that Muriel has also done financing deals for a bunch of white films but wanted to impress me with her contributions to films that have an appeal to black audiences.
Muriel and I talk a bit more about her work and career. We exchange business cards and promise to follow up. She is fascinated by BTM and wants to hear more. So, I indulge her.
I changed the subject by asking her a question about diversity at Cannes. I say to her that, "as a black filmmaker I feel a responsibility and calling to be a part of the conversation to effect some changes."
She tells me that her former assistant works in diversity and has led the initiative to implement some diversity strategies for the Berlin Film Festival. She should also put me in touch with him.
Won't he do it!
I ask if we can take a quick selfie and then we go back to working on our laptops. After a few minutes, I close mine in frustration and quip, "the wifi on this train sucks."
Muriel: I am using my phone as a hotspot. You can too if you like.
I tell Muriel that every day I pick a favorite person on the planet and today she is my favorite person. I connect to her Wi-Fi and begin typing this story.
God loves you too, but I am his favorite.

Graduation Gala – Thursday, May 9
A Graduation Gala will be held on Thursday, May 9th from 6:00–9:00 PM at the Columbia Art Museum (1515 Main Street). As the Order of the Coif induction will be ongoing on the first floor of the Museum, please consider entering from the Main Street entrance, not the patio entrance.
The event will be heavy hors d'oeuvres and open beer/wine. The event is cocktail attire.
Graduates and ONE guest are admitted free of charge. Please visit this link to register you and your free guest.
Additional guest tickets are $35 (children are admitted for free) and may be purchased in advance online (processing fee applies). Please visit this link to purchase your additional tickets. No tickets may be purchased at the door.
Commencement (Friday, May 10)
The School of Law Commencement will take place on Friday, May 10th on the University of South Carolina's Historic Horseshoe. The entrance to the Horseshoe is located on Sumter Street between Greene and Pendleton Streets. Graduates should bring their caps, tassels, gowns and hoods and plan on arriving in the Karen J. Williams Courtroom no later than 7:30 AM. Commencement begins promptly at 9:00 AM and lasts about one hour and 45 minutes. There is unlimited seating on the Horseshoe and tickets are not required to attend.
Parking and Disability Accommodations
The Pendleton Street garage (on Pendleton between Bull and Pickens Streets) will be available for guests attending Commencement exercises. Guests may park at the metered spaces in the Pendleton Street garage at no charge. Other parking spaces there are by permit only and vehicles parked there are subject to ticketing and possibly towed. Limited metered parking is available on the streets surrounding the Horseshoe and it is patrolled by the City of Columbia. There is also handicapped parking around the Horseshoe for guests who have placards or license plates.
The closest restrooms available are located in the Russell House which is located on Greene Street, parallel to the Horseshoe. Law school staff will be on hand to direct guests in need of assistance to an accessible restroom close to the seating area.
Inclement Weather
In the event of inclement weather, the USC Board of Trustees will notify local media outlets by 4 PM on Thursday, May 9th, if the decision is made to relocate from the Horseshoe. This decision will also be posted to the School of Law website. The Koger Center for the Arts, located at the intersection of Assembly and Greene Streets, will serve as the rain location for Commencement.
Due to limited seating at the Koger Center, School of Law graduates can claim up to 10 guest tickets for admission to the Koger Center.
As there is no assigned seating at the Koger Center, seating is on a first come, first served basis. Doors will open around 8:00 AM.
Law graduates are to report to the large rehearsal hall on the main level of the Koger Center for the Arts (corner of Assembly and Greene Streets) at 7:45 AM in full regalia IF graduation is moved by the USC Board of Trustees. The class photo will be taken immediately following the hooding on the exterior steps of the Koger Center, Greene Street side.
Post-Graduation Plans
Career Services is required by the American Bar Association to collect data from every graduate for annual reporting. Please help them start that process by completing this quick survey. This is not only a "do you have a job" survey, so they would appreciate any information and assistance you can give them!

How do other patients with these long term and "invisible" pain cope? How does it feel like when most rheumatologists- the experts that we see, can't be more tender with us because they cannot spot those tender spots (pardon the pun) ? And for people in countries which provides "disability benefits", what kind of experience do they have to go through? In where I was, it took even real courage to "come out" with it (stigma could be even more than being gay or lesbian the rural areas of western societies). Another young, courageous and intelligent young lady I knew told of being ridiculed by her peers-university students in a well-known university. She received hate mails when her story appeared in the papers. Some really sick people actually told her to stop being a wimp and it was all in her heads. Some suspected that she was trying to gain sympathies. FYI, she comes from a country where there is no "benefits" for sick people, she was not asking for any donations and yet people thought that she would benefit from the sympathies.
All she asked for is more support (ie forming a support group) for young patients with chronic pains. Is that too much to ask for? In a world where fifty something women could demand the right to have a drug which the benefit and risks are not even clear and cost tens of thousand because they have a life (shown by colourful clothes and a makeover) and they want to live, is it too much for a young woman like her to hope that there is more awareness and support of the terrible conditions she had? The problem is she had no dramatic photos to show; she looked plump (side-effect of limited movements and the cocktail of drugs) and cheerful.

Posted on Aug. 2nd, 2018 | By Mandy, WayKen Project Manager
In order to create a greater number of efficient prototypes, manufacturers are employing a number of rapid prototyping techniques. These techniques are cost-effective as well as time-saving, producing a large number of prototypes in lesser time. But the products produced mostly requires surface finishing to increase their surface properties and to be presentable to the customers.
There are a number of surface finishing techniques used to make the product presentable including powder coating, electroplating, passivation, anodizing etc. Anodizing aluminum is one of the most effective surface finishing technique being employed these days by the manufacturers to increase the functional effect of the model finishing process.
It is an electrochemical process that is used to increase the durability and resistance against corrosion by the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the metallic product. The oxide layer increases the thickness of the product, protecting it from corrosion and wear. Furthermore, an anodized surface provides better adhesion to paint primers as compared to bare metal. Aluminum is the most suited metal for the anodizing process.
In anodizing aluminum, the aluminum prototype is dipped into the electrolytic solution bath along with the cathode. When the electric current is passed, hydrogen is released from the cathode and aids in the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of aluminum.
Other metals such as titanium, magnesium etc. can be anodized but the oxide layer formed as a result of anodizing aluminum is many times thicker than that of any other metal. Anodizing aluminum has made it one of the most widely used metal in the production of industrial and domestic products.
Although aluminum metal upon exposure to room temperature forms a layer of oxide that will protect it from corrosion and wear, the layer of oxide film formed by anodizing aluminum is 100 times thicker than that formed naturally. Anodizing methods can be generalized from the type of electrolytic solution used. Sulfuric acid and chromic acid are the two electrolytes that are used in the industries these days for anodizing aluminum.
Electrolytic conditions are the important parameters that are used to determine the thickness of a layer formed. These include electrolytic concentration, acidity, solution temperature and the amount of current passed through the solution. When anodizing aluminum, dilute solutions and high voltage is used to produce thicker and harder oxide layer. The thickness of the oxide layer is decided upon the application of metal. Brighter surfaces have a less thick layer of oxide as compared to dull surfaces.
Processes after Anodizing
Many processes can be done on the anodized surface according to describing as below:
1. Dyeing
After anodizing aluminum, a porous surface is created which can easily accept any color of the dye. Dyeing may be done during or after the anodizing process to reduce the dye bleed out. Color may be induced on the surface by electroplating any metal in the pores of the anodic coating. Dyeing can also be done during the anodizing process by mixing organic acids with the electrolytic solution. The acid type will depend upon the color that is supposed to be induced on the aluminum surface.
2. Sealing
Sealing is the process used to seal the pores created as a result of anodizing aluminum after dyeing. This makes the surface more corrosion resistant and increases the dye retention. This is usually done by dipping the surface in boiling hot deionized water or steam converting the oxides into hydrates causing the pores to close. It can be also be done by cold sealing in which a sealant is impregnated at room temperature. This is done by dipping the product into the sealant bath at room temperature. Cold sealing is more popular because it is an energy-saving process.
3. Printing
Printing may be done by the digital printer or sublimation transfer after anodizing aluminum. Any image or graphics can be printed on the surface of the product by incorporation of dyes in the pores before sealing. Graphics can also be made by hand using airbrush or paintbrush. Sealing process is done after the printing of graphics to seal the pores and to increase the dye retention. This prevents any corrosion as the pores are sealed.
Benefits of Anodizing Aluminum
Anodizing aluminum in addition with high surface finish provides many other benefits as described below:
1. Durability
The lifespan of most anodized products is longer as compared to other techniques. Moreover, the anodized products are easily maintained making it one of the most used processes in the industries.
2. Cost
Initial cost of anodizing aluminum is very less. Also given the durability manufacturers prefer anodizing over any other operation because it is a far cheaper option over longer terms. The maintenance cost of the anodized products is also less.
3. Resistance to UV
Processes carried out after anodizing aluminum can offer great resistance to Ultraviolent radiations of the sun providing a surface finish for a longer period of time.
4. Easy to be Maintained
Scars and wear during the fabrication, transportation, installation, dirt cleaning are almost nonexistent on anodized surface. An anodized surface can be brought to an original appearance by cleansing with mild soap and rinsing. Therefore maintenance cost of anodized products is also very less. Low maintenance cost combined with low initial cost makes it a favorable option for the manufacturers.
5. Aesthetics
A number of processes can be carried out during and after the anodizing which can be used to give the product the desired aesthetics. Dyeing of the product before and after the anodizing can give the product any desired color. Moreover, the electrolyte used during anodizing can offer almost any color to be dyed. Printing the graphics with the digital printers or with airbrush/paintbrush can also be done on the anodized surface due to pores generated after anodizing.
6. Health and Safety
Anodizing aluminum offers no harm to human health. An anodized product is also chemically stable and nontoxic. It is heat resistant up to the melting point of aluminum and will not decompose. Since it is a process in which naturally occurring oxides are reinforced upon the surface so it is non-hazardous and does not produce any harmful side products. Therefore compatible with today's environmental concerns.
Anodizing aluminum improves its surface finish and properties which are widely used in domestic and industrial applications including
- Automotive
- Aviation & Aerospace
- Buildings & Architecture
- Electronics
- Food Manufacturing / Preparation Equipment
- Home Furnishings
- General Manufacturing
- Marine Industry
- Medical / Dental Equipment
- Sporting Goods
Hence the use of rapid prototyping is not enough given the product is not appealing. Many methods can be employed for surface finishing of the products but anodizing is the best among all in terms of cost, enhancing the properties and aesthetics. So the manufacturers are anodizing aluminum given its vast applications in different industries including the automotive, aerospace industries etc. Anodizing makes aluminum corrosion resistant and gives the required aesthetic to the product which is appealing to the customers.

List Barn Conversions For Sale - School, Pub/Public House and Railway Conversions
List Your Barn conversions for sale!
Conversions for sale including barns, derelict barns, barn, school, railway carriage, station, double decker bus, pub/public house conversions..
Barns, barn conversions, derelict barns, schools/pubs and railway conversions - List your barn conversiion for sale. There are many other different original buildings that can be converted including old bakery buildings, quaint shops, water towers/industrial and public houses.
There are plenty of things to look out for when buying an original building for a conversion project. Make sure your mortgage will allow you to buy the property, get planning permission/submit plans, work out a budget and hire recommended tradespeople.
What to look out for when buying a barn conversion for sale
- Building Regulations: When you do certain DIY jobs on a property (barn conversions or otherwise), often major alterations such as moving a bathroom from the bottom floor to the top floor, will require building regulations approval, check it out before you do it Click Here To Visit The Government's Planning Advice Website
- Planning Permission: Does the original barn you want to convert have planning permission to be renovated into your dream house? You may need to hire an architect to draw up plans and submit them to your local planning office for approval. Check whether there is outline planning permission already and also check whether permission has been turned down before.
- Local Area: Often, property not originally intended for use as a dwelling has unusual or exclusive surroundings. It is worth checking what these are such as a nuclear bunker could be great for a conversion, but very isolated. A railway building to convert could be close to a live railway andbeprone to noise etc.
What to include when selling your barn conversion:
- Condition: Make sure you give a good description of the condition of the barn or building so buyers are aware. It is important to list as much as you know about the property.
- Potential: Highlight the potential for the barn conversion, include plans if you have planning permission or outline planning permission to give the potential buyer an idea of what it could be like. Include information like the square footage of the barn, details about the plot, local area, if mains/electricity is available, period of the property/building, unique features and overall size.
- Photos: Add as many photos as you can to provide as much insight into the property as possible.

The baby count is up to 30!
Jenny kindled to 6 babies on Saturday - all solid self & agouti black based colors.
It was a slight disappointment, but not a big surprise, that Jenny didn't have any chocolate colored babies. One of the reasons I was so glad to trade for her was that she was supposed to be out of a chocolate chestnut doe, which would mean she carried chocolate. But, I have bred Jenny to 2 chocolate colored bucks - Kaden & Brantini - and she hasn't had a single chocolate in the litter. Which means she does not carry chocolate and someone's color has to be off on her pedigree. Got some figuring out to do,I guess!
I am hoping to get some pictures of my keepers from the 7 week old litters tomorrow, Lord willing.
The 4 does bred the 22nd all palpate positive! Yay! Hopefully everything will go well with their litters. Just have to palpate Clara tomorrow . . .
Kaden is sold and will be going to a breeder in Kansas in a couple weeks :).
Well, not much else to report for the time being and it's getting late . . .
