İbradı is a district of Antalya Province of Turkey.
İbradı is a high plain in the Taurus Mountains. In summer the weather is dry and cooler than the nearby Mediterranean coast with a daytime temperature of 30 degrees C and 10 degrees C at night. The mountains are covered with forests of juniper, cedar and pine, watered by mountain streams that eventually form the Manavgat River. The people of İbradı mainly live from grazing goats on the hillsides and from forestry; there is no commercial farming although people have gardens, vineyards and fruit trees.
This area was once part of the antique kingdom of Pisidia, near the river Melas. It is unclear however when the district was first settled.
In the Turkish period the area was an important passage over the Taurus Mountains for traders from the Mediterranean, and was used as a summer retreat from the heat on the coast. There are the foundations of a Seljuk Turkish caravanserai in the district of Kesikbel.
People who live in Ibradi today are mainly Teke Turkmens. Same root with today's Teke Turkmens from Turkmenistan. They are member of Oghuz Salur Tribe.

BRAD Insight is a provider of information on the media and marketing industry in the United Kingdom. The company is part of the Media Business Insight Ltd and is based at Zetland House in Old Street, London.
The firm's launch in 1954 was fuelled by the post-war revolution in the UK consumer magazine and newspaper markets. The British Rates And Data directory (known as BRAD) was first published in print and initially contained the details of around 2000 print media that were then accepting advertising. The final print copy of BRAD was published in March 2009. BRAD is now available online via subscription services known as BRAD connect & BRAD intelligence. BRAD currently contains the details of over 14,000 media entries across seven media channels (Business Press, Consumer Press, Newspapers, TV, Radio, Out of Home and Digital).
In February 1987, Black Box Publishing launched the Account List File (known as ALF), a printed directory providing information about relationships between the UK's top spending advertisers, the brands they own and the advertising agencies they work with (including details of key personnel making advertising decisions on behalf of the brands). BBP was eventually bought by Data Management Services moving to Ramillies Street. At the time the data was sold through print and a software based CRM system. Eventually DMS was bought by Pearson and the ALF range was stabled with The Register and Magazine Business as Register Information Services based out offices in The Angel. The company was sold to EMAP in 1999 and the ALF and BRAD were brought together. Following 276 editions, 267,145 pages and a total of 3.8 million updates, the final printed edition of ALF was released in August 2010. The ALF directory is now available online via subscription services known as ALF connect & ALF intelligence.
Brad is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1992. Brad's sound is influenced by the wide variety of influences brought by its members, including Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, Regan Hagar (Satchel and formerly a member of Malfunkshun), Shawn Smith (also a member of Pigeonhed and Satchel), and Jeremy Toback. The distinctive vocals of Smith are a major factor in this sound.
Brad formed officially in 1992, although the band members had been playing together for a long time before that. The band's line-up was composed of vocalist Shawn Smith, guitarist Stone Gossard, bassist Jeremy Toback, and drummer Regan Hagar. The band originally wanted to go by the name Shame, however the band found that the name was already taken by a band featuring musician Brad Wilson. Instead, the band took the name Brad and decided to name its debut album Shame. Shame, released on April 27, 1993 through Epic Records, was recorded in roughly 20 days, with many tracks taken from in-studio jam sessions. Shame, featuring a raw sound and an eclectic mix of styles, was released to mixed reviews and moderate sales. The track "20th Century" was a minor hit in the UK.
