From a simple beginning…
The National Motor Museum evolved from The Montagu Motor Museum which was founded by Lord Montagu in 1952 as a tribute to British motoring achievement and particularly in memory of his father, one of the pioneers of monitoring in Great Britain and the first Parliamentary champion of the motorist’s cause. Within 10 years the collection numbered more than 100 vehicles. To cater for the ever increasing demand for information of motoring history, Lord Montagu created, in 1960, a Motoring Library for books, manuscripts and photographs.
The decision to found a charitable Trust was taken in 1968 in order to safeguard The Museum and the Library collections for the long-term benefit or the nation. The National Motor Museum Trust came into being on the 17th November, 1970. Read the rest of this entry »

Continued From Aromatherapy For Mind, Body And Spirit
The burning question that probably confounds the uninitiated amongst us is the difference between essential and scented oils. Simply put, essential oils are oils that have been extracted from natural sources such as plants and fruits.
Scented oils on the other hand are usually (but not always) their scent. This is probably the biggest difference between essential and scented oils. A point to note is that research has indicated that scented oils, be they “low-grade” essential oils or synthetic scented oils may contribute to certain allergies and asthma.

Smells So Good! Let your mind and body embark on a scent-sensational experience
Aromatherapy is once again gaining popularity in our fast-paced and hectec lives. Not exactly a new fad therapy, some ancient cultures, such as the Egyptians and Romans, treated varying ailments using comparable forms of aromatherapy before the advent of modern medicine when people relied on herbs to treat medical problems.
Today, aromatherapy is seen as a new-age formula to assist us in creating a more relaxed environment whether it is administered using an oil burner or through massage. Relax after a long day’s work in the bath or your favorite chair surrounded by the aromatic waft of soothing lavender or relaxing camomile. Read the rest of this entry »

1. For A Stuffy Nose.
Put your index fingers in the corners of your baby’s eyes, along his nose. (Rest your thumbs by his chin.) Gently press in and up, then glide your fingers bit by bit down the sides of his nose and then across his cheeks. Repeat three times
2. For Colic.
Rub a small amount of body lotion on your hands. Imagine your baby’s tummy as a clock, and put the fingertips of your right hand at 9 o’clock. Stroke from 9 to 12 to 3 in one smooth, slow movement. Repeat three to five times. Next, place the palm of your right hand on your baby’s navel, and put your left hand next to it. Rub your hands firmly over his tummy five times in a clockwise motion.

Question And Answer About Health – Part 2
Q: I have an itchy, bumpy rash in and around my belly button. It’s also quite smelly and the spots are now weeping. How can i get rid of this irritation?
A: The sounds like an infection in your belly button. One possibility is that you’re allergic to nickel the metal which most buttons and snaps on jeans and pants are made of. This constant rubbing against your navel could trigger an infection. If this is the case, try wearing cotton underwear up to your belly button, so skin contact with the metal is not possible. The spots are weeping because you probably scratched (perhaps in yous sleep) and this has worsened the infection causing it to spread around the belly button as well. Read the rest of this entry »

So the FZ-1 Super-Standard Packs A Real Punch. If you’re Yamaha, why not make it a 1-2 combo, with the knockout blow coming by way of the FJR 1300 sport-tourer, so far a Euro-only device? “We’ve had tremendous response to the FJR 1300,” admitted a Yamaha U.S. spokesman. “We would love to bring the bike here, but it has to have legs-it needs to stay in the line-up year after year. If it doesn’t, it will disappoint our customers. Also, the sport-touring category is very price-sensitive. The price has to be right.”
Jim Yeardly, a staffer for England’s Motor Cycle News, recently rode the FJR in Spain. A sportbike nut to the core, he came away impressed. “The large, pullback handlebars are perfectly postioned for leisurely riding,” Yeardly reported. “The dash, wich offers a segmented LCD gas gauge, a clock, two tripmeters and a range of other gizmos alongside the usual speedo and rev-counter arrangement, is reminiscent of the FJR’s discontinued older brother, the user friendly FJI200. That makes me feel very much at home, as I have very fond memories of that bike.”

These were prosperous years for the British motor-cycle industry, a flourishing proprietary-engine business (led by J.A.P. and Villiers) allowing smaller firms like Coventry-Eagle to concentrate on frame design with their 1926 J.A.P. engined 200 c.c. B33. In the early 1920s belt drive was still in evidence on light weights as typifued by the 1921 2 1/2 h.p. Wooler also used belt drive, though this one has a foot-operated infinitely-variable gear. Chains and multi-speeds, however, featured on even the little 1925 “round tank” 2 1/4 h.p. B.S.A., long the transport of G.P.O. messenger boys.Unit construction of engine and gearbox was gaining hold, on Royal Enfild’s 1919 inline four cylinder prototype, retrieved for exhibition from a forgotten storeroom after 35 years. Sunbeam’s 1925 Light Solo had proper chain cases, and superior finish which justified a price of $88 for a touring 500.

Meeting his:
Relax! They can’t eat you. And they did raise the man you’ve come to rather like, so they can’t be so bad. True to treat them as you would anyone else you’re meeting for the first time. If they start firing questions at you, don’t get too defensive they just want to get to know you.
If they start having a go at him about not getting in touch often enough and forgetting birthdays, resist the temptation to join in. You don’t want him to start seeing you in the same light as his nagging parents. Remember, all the subjects that are taboo with your parents – politics, sex, money – are probably equally taboo with his, so steer well clear.

Your Health by The Numbers – Part 2
>> 3 Glasses of milk you need to drink each day.
To maintain healthy bones, you need to down this much of the white stuff to get the recommended 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium a day. Don’t like the taste of milk? Consider some substitutions: A six-ounce cup of nonfat yogurt has 300mg of calcium two ounces of Swiss cheese has 530 mg; and a cup of spinach will give you 245 mg. Almonds, tofu and fortified orange juice are also great sources.
>> 24.9 Highest number for a healthy body mass index (BMI).
More revealing than the numbers on your bathroom scale is your BMI, which is a measure of your weight relative to your height. And, although not foolproof, it’s also an indicator of total body fat. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy score. If your score is 25 to 29.9, you’re overweight; above 30 is considered obese. Any number greater than 25 puts you at risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, and a host of other health woes. Read the rest of this entry »
