WOW ! LOOK AT THAT SHOP !
SHOPPING AND MORE!
There seems to be more and more shops appearing in our cities and towns today. Super deluxe shopping malls and retail outlets are springing up all over Great Britain. People can now even spend a day out in the increasingly popular shopping villages that have the top brand name shops located within them. Let’s face it there is nothing ladies like more than a spot of retail therapy!
STYLES OF SHOPS
With an abundance of shops and high street stores comes an adornment of styles of shop fronts with a beautiful array of different designs all ready to tempt us inside. The location of the shop will of course impact heavily on which style of shop front you choose for your business. Themed towns including Stratford on Avon will design their shops to blend in with the traditional and crafty shops that visitors expect to see there. There is no reason however that you cannot have the style that you want in these rural locations as your shop front can be carefully designed by experts from a professional shop front and entranceway company. ADSF UK LTD has a wealth of experience in the shop front and automatic door industry.
Frameless Glass Shop front
SO MANY SHOP FRONTS!
Shopping malls and swanky stores adorn the main streets of shopping cities, London, Cardiff, Manchester to name but a few but what really makes them stand out from their competitors is their unique shop fronts. As a business owner you want your shop or boutique to have the wow factor and in order to achieve that you must seriously consider the appearance and style of your shop. If your business is similar in appearance and location to these modern classy stores then you may well want to consider frameless glass shop fronts.
DISPLAY
Frameless glass shop fronts are proving to be increasingly popular and are ideal for the retail sector creating the perfect space for displaying your merchandize. Along with these sleek and sophisticated frameless glass shop fronts comes a free marketing tool that markets your business even when closed. Your well thought out display may entice potential customers to return to your shop during opening times. Your shop front is the key to your success; more customers generate more sales so every effort must be made to increase foot fall unto your premises. Your window display can be used to promote key products, advertising future sales, promotions and future events.
Supermarkets, restaurants, chemists, barbers, and opticians may well also decide to replace their old tired shop front with a frameless glass shop front allowing passer byes to clearly see inside the premises. Another typical shop front is the aluminium framed style, popular for many reasons including its design. Aluminium is a lightweight but robust material that is extremely strong. An advantage of selecting aluminium is that it can be moulded to fit all most any shape including arcs.
The frames are able to be powder coated so you can choose your own the colour. The shop fronts are manufactured from toughened glass and aluminium so they are really easy to keep clean which is an essential part of keeping the exterior of your property smart, clean and tidy.
SHOP FRONTS ARE NOT JUST FOR SHOPS!
Of course it is not just the retail industry that reaps the benefits of having anew shop front installed. Service providers can also benefit from the professional style of this kind of shop front. In businesses where hygiene levels are paramount including hospitals, schools, medical centres and those involved in the hospitality sector glass is the perfect solution as it is resistant to both bacteria and allergens.
Once you have made the decision to replace your shop front it is advisable to seek advice from a professional company with experience and expertise in this field. ASDF UK LTD has a wealth of knowledge and a proven record of high quality installations. In the early planning stages assistance should be given as to the suitability of the design you have in mind. The designers will work closely with you in order to achieve as close to the image you had as possible.
With the design approved by all parties comes the manufacturing stage. Experienced fabricators will produce your brand new shop front following the exact measurements and with attention to detail. ADSF UK LTD employ qualified technicians who will carry out a high class installation which can even be executed outside normal business hours if so wished.
The Old Granary
The Old Granary is a fabulous and imposing detached family home situated in an idyllic position within a plot approaching one and a half acres, enjoying outstanding panoramic views overlooking the Avon Valley towards Ilmington Downs and the North Cotswold countryside.
Approached by a pillared entrance and driveway, this original farm building, constructed of mellow brick under a pitched slate-tiled roof, was converted in 1998 by the renowned building firm Calarel of Chipping Campden to the highest possible standard.
Quality materials and skilled craftsmanship have been employed throughout, designed to enhance and reflect the innate character and form of the building.
Exposed timbers and brickwork are balanced by the use of smooth plaster and new oak to create soaring light open spaces, with solid oak and flagstone floors throughout the ground floor and an exposed A frame above.
An elegant galleried staircase is set within a vaulted central hallway, leading up to five bedrooms (two en-suite) and a family bathroom.
At the heart of the house is a large, beautiful and brightly lit traditional country kitchen-breakfast room fitted with a generous array of bespoke units, a central island topped by black granite. A separate utility / boot room lies beyond.
Warmed throughout by oil fired central heating to cast iron radiators, additional comfort is provided by a five-oven Aga and an inglenook fireplace in the main sitting room, both prerequisites for a luxurious Cotswold country lifestyle.
Three generous reception rooms and a separate study enjoy the best of a naturally elevated position, doors opening out towards gorgeous countryside views. Raised split level decking captures the best of the day's sun, perfect for dining al fresco in the summer.
Outside, a detached double garage is supplemented by generous parking, offering potential (subject to the usual planning permissions) for conversion to further ancillary guest / holiday let accommodation.
Glorious and maturely landscaped gardens are laid mainly to lawn, thence to an orchard and a paddock with field shelters and natural ponds bounded by post and rail fencing, the whole affording considerable natural privacy.
Ideal for equestrian usage, there is also a livery opposite the Granary, and a right of way from the paddock to the road that leads on to fabulous local bridle paths in the open countryside.
The rural and unspoilt hamlet of Idlicote lies just two miles from Shipston on Stour, which was voted the number 1 place to live in the UK 2018 by The Times newspaper. Shipston is a lively town chock-full of independent and specialist shops including a bakery, butchers and local farm shop, with many pubs, restaurants and community-led services and amenities including the museum and heritage centre.
The town is also an excellent centre for walking and cycling and has become renowned for its festivals including the Shipston Proms, a two week music festival culminating in a spectacular ‘Last Night of the Proms’ held in the High Street.
Idlicote is in the catchment area for both the primary and high schools at Shipston on Stour, providing main stream education to the age of 16. There are also other state and private schools within easy reach, including an Outstanding secondary state school at Chipping Campden and grammar schools in Stratford upon Avon.
The nearby town of Moreton in Marsh, easily accessed via the A429 within a few minutes, offers a mainline train service between Worcester and London Paddington via Oxford. Stratford Upon Avon is only a fifteen minute drive away in a north westerly direction with a host of attractions, including the famous RSC theatre, as well as high street shops and a Waitrose, whilst Banbury (about 14 miles) and Warwick Park Way (about 16 miles) also have a direct train line with a frequent service taking an hour or less into London Marylebone. Junction 15 of the M40 provides access to Gaydon and the south and is located just 15 miles away.
Various holiday destinations in 1950's - Film 3061
Various holiday destinations in Britain in the 1950's.
Elegant woman's head, a chunky metal necklace round her neck. A man's head, talking. The two eating dinner with another man, a lit candle on the table, a blazing fire behind; he pours sauce on his fish, as the landlord, in spectacles, delivers two pewter tankards of ale; the two men pick up their foaming tankards.
Landlady serves a slice of fruit pie onto a plate, and carries it over to their table; the man is telling a fishing story, his hands expanding; the landlady gives the plate of pie to the woman. Close-up of the woman pouring thick cream on her pie; pan to a man's hands as he cuts a piece of Caerphilly cheese. The three at table, as the man removes the piece of cheese from his knife; price for both of them was less than a pound (£1); down to plate of food and pie dish.
Three boys look on as a chef bastes an ox roasting on a spit. Fairground scene in street in Stratford-on-Avon; two large red lorries are at right centre, each with 'Towing Three Trailers' on their fronts; pan over crowded scene, down to the annual ox-roast - a walled fire, the ox on a spit in front, one chef basting, while two others turn the spit with a large wheel. The ox-roast, as another cook appears, sharpening a carving knife. The chefs talking, as one bastes and the other sharpens.
Three young women looking out of an upstairs window. Looking down on the scene - dignitaries and a town crier. Two women onlookers, leaning out of a window. Looking down as the mayor cuts a slice from the ox. Close up of the mayor as he delivers the slice. The town crier, in tricorn and red coat, with hand bell, wipes his lips; beside him is a man in top hat and spectacles, and behind them is a policeman. The mayor puts a slice on a plate.
Crowd of onlookers. A man and a woman each take a slice of beef in a crusty roll; behind them hangs a banner advertising the ox roast.
Two women leaning out of the window, watching.
Ornate porcelain and silver, inside an antique shop in a nearby village; couple enter, woman picks something up, they are approached by woman shopkeeper; they look round the shop, and a man approaches. He shows them a piece of Worcester. Close-up of the man, in round glasses, as he lifts the lid off the pot. Close-up of the florally-decorated pot. He talks, as the camera pans to his wife. The couple listening. The four talking, as he leads them to inspect an item in the foreground - a big two-handled cup, which he tilts to show them what's inside. Close-up of the inside - with two ceramic frogs. They chuckle.
Village scene viewed through an arch - a tree and a distant church tower; woman walking towards us. Stone cottages in village street, with a picket fence. A traditional signpost, one pointing towards Broadwell and Stow on the Wold, another to Adlestrop and Chipping Norton. A signpost pointing to Honeybourne and Evesham. Another pointing to Lower and Upper Slaughter. A half-timbered building in mid-distance.
Long shot of Chatsworth House, viewed over water and greensward. A wing of Chatsworth House, fountains playing at L. Statuary in a fountain. A girl skips down steps below wrought-iron railings, she looks up, then her dog follows her down. The girl and the dog run off, in the grounds of Chatsworth, amidst formally clipped trees. Distant view of Chatsworth House, sheep in middle distance. Chatsworth over the lake, jets playing; admission costs 'a shilling or two'. The girl and dog run in; at left is a fountain, at R is a statue of a figure sitting on a lion. Close-up of the girl playing with the black labrador. Close-up of the girl, in turtle-neck jumper - she is Lady Emma, daughter of the 11th Duke of Devonshire. The girl and the dog. They run away, past a fountain. Adlestrop

See a NASA Physicist's Incredible Origami
Twenty five years ago, physicist Robert Lang worked at NASA, where he researched lasers. He has also garnered 46 patents on optoelectronics and even wrote a Ph.D. thesis called Semiconductor Lasers: New Geometries and Spectral Properties. But in 2001, Lang left his job in order to pursue a passion he's had since childhood: origami. In the origami world, Lang is now a legend, and it's not just his eye-catching, intricate designs that have taken the craft by storm. Some of his work has helped pioneer new ways of applying origami principles to complex real-world engineering problems.

Places to visit in Kuala Lumpur
See in Kuala Lumpur
===================
Kuala Lumpur is short on must-see attractions: beyond the Petronas Twin Towers, the real joy lies in wandering randomly, seeing, shopping and eating your way through it.
KL hosts an amazing variety of architectural delights. The grandest old British colonial buildings lie in the city centre and include the former offices of the Colonial Secretariat (now the Sultan Abdul Samad Building) on Merdeka Square and the old Kuala Lumpur Railway station. They blend themes from the architecture of Britain and North Africa. On Merdeka Square's west side, looking like a rejected transplant straight from Stratford-upon-Avon is the Royal Selangor Club. Near Merdeka Square is Masjid Jamek, a charming Moorish-style mosque set at a confluence on the Klang River. The National Mosque, Masjid Negara, (1965) celebrates the bold ambitions of the newly independent Malaysia. The National Monument in the pretty Lake Gardens is inspired by the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. The ASEAN sculpture garden is nearby. Also in the lake gardens is Carcosa Seri Negara, the former residence of the British High Commissioner, which now houses an upmarket hotel and colonial-style tea rooms. While some buildings in the high-rise Golden Triangle, such as the KL Tower, are uninspired copies of other famous structures, the Petronas Twin Towers are truly marvelous.
Within the city centre is also the fascinating narrow streets of Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur's traditional commercial district, with its many Chinese shops and places to eat.
KL is hot, humid and sometimes crowded, so schedule some cooling off in air-conditioned shopping malls or restaurants. You may find that most attractions are only crowded on weekends and holidays and are otherwise deserted on weekdays.
Do in Kuala Lumpur
====================
KL is mainly known for its eating and shopping, which are adequately covered by the Eat and Buy sections.
Other activities include usual urban sports such as golfing, cycling, running, jogging and horse riding. If you’re into rock climbing, the Batu Caves in the Northern suburbs is popular. However given Malaysia's stunning terrain, you’re better off heading to other places for anything more strenuous or challenging.
Several good theatres and performance halls have emerged as part of Malaysia's drive to encourage greater cultural expression. These include the National Theatre (Istana Budaya) and the KL Performing Arts Centre (KLPac) in the northern part of the city, the KL Philharmonic in the Twin Towers, and the Actors Studio at Lot 10.
Leading museums in the city centre are the National Museum, which covers the region's history, and the well-regarded Islamic Arts Museum, which houses a small but captivating collection. Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery is a modern museum linked to the country's national bank with well-designed galleries on Malaysian economic development, Islamic finance, the history of the central bank, and the national's banks own art collection.
Pampering and spas can be found in several five-star hotels and independent centres in the Golden Triangle. There's also nail parlours and beauty salons, which are generally good value, there's also high-end ones offering similar services for a premium. Reflexology and foot massage places are everywhere, especially in Bukit Bintang in the Golden Triangle and in Chinatown.
Kuala Lumpur also has several theme parks around the city and in the surrounding cities. The most famous of these parks is Sunway Lagoon in the neighbouring city of Subang Jaya. The theme park has rides, a huge waterpark, an extreme park for adventure junkies, a scream park for those wanting a good scare, and a petting zoo for children. Sunway Lagoon is a 40 minute drive from central Kuala Lumpur in good traffic.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

With a population of approximately 155,000, it is the 52nd largest city in the United Kingdom, with one of the fastest growing populations in the UK, and it remains the most ethnically diverse area in Oxfordshire county. The city is 51 miles (82 km) from London, 61 miles (98 km) from Bristol, 59 miles (95 km) from Southampton, 57 miles (92 km) from Birmingham and 24 miles (39 km) from Reading.
The city is known worldwide as the home of the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world.
