Granada – a quick trip!
Its most famous building is the Alhambra - a Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. You can walk up to it through the cobblestone streets of the Albayzin district of the city. It is an astonishing palace complex whose Islamic decor and landscaped gardens are without peer in Europe.
It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid Emir Mohammed ben Al AhmarIt was converted into a royal palace 1330 and in the late1400’s the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella.who commissioned Christopher Columbus to undertake his famous voyages.
You have to have a ticket to enter the Nasrid palace – the ticket has an entry time and you cannot miss it. Tickets can be booked up weeks in advance it is such a popular place
I spent 4 hours walking round and didn’t get to see all of it.
I shall have to go back for a second bite ..

On Demand Demo - #3 Tooling Master Module
The tool master is the central repository for all things related to the production of a part through the use of reusable components such as patterns, core boxes, permanent molds, investment casting molds, and such things as trim dies, dead-heads, and rider or adapter plates.
Tooling is all about the tracking the life of the tooling, inspecting, controlling the movements, cost of the tooling including on-going costs through movement and repairs, revisions, and CAR’s or Problems.
With the introduction of the maintenance management equipment module several years ago, calibration and other quality instruments are typically now defined within that module.
