You Receive What You Give Out
In every circumstance of your life, you are receiving what you have given, it doesn't matter if you make the connection or not. You are the one deciding what your life will be - by what you give out. What are you sending out to the universe?
**Karma**
They say karma is a belief that whatever you do, not just in deeds but also in thoughts and words as well will come back to you, either in this life or the next. Do you believe in karma? I do.
You already know for sure about the good and bad karma. Do good and goodness comes back to you. Be kind, spread kindness and like a boomerang it will come back to you. That's good karma. I will never forget this video of Life Vest Inside -Kindness Boomerang:
https://youtu.be/nwAYpLVyeFU
I want to share that with you for you to see, what a single act of kindness can do and how far it goes and how it will go back to you in most surprising ways. The universe is so wonderful and it works like magic. Everything you do, say or think, the universe will react to it. It's a boomerang!
**The Good Karma Army/ Good Karma Community**
@TruSuccessXpert started this community. What is Good Karma Army Community? It's paying forward! Pass it on!
I receive $1 from @TruSuccessXpert and as the Good Karma Army started, I'm going to share 50% of it. And if I share it with you, I hope you can keep it going and share half of what you receive. And whoever you give it to should share half of it too. Pass it on!
Here's the full article:

Let's keep this giving going. Always remember in giving, you are telling the universe to give you more blessings so you can share more blessings.
Thank you so much.
A Valentine's Letter Card to my Husband
***To the love of my life,***
I will start this with a big *"THANK YOU!"* Thank you for all the love and support. I thank God for having you in my life. I am a happy wife because you keep making me feel I am love and appreciated. You never failed me only when you keep farting beside me.
We are a perfect team. I cook, you eat. Thank you for providing. 🥰
I promised to keep putting my finger to your arse and to startle you at least thrice a day to add more lines to your forehead and white hairs. I will keep cooking good food to keep you fat. I will keep taking the blanket so you will be left with none. I will keep you happy and have a good laugh, you know I'm good at that.
I didn't buy anything this year so I made this card. I save £1.99 for making one!
If people ask me how to keep a relationship, I'll say, you have to keep looking after the one you love. You have to keep the love alive. You should keep putting a smile on his/her faces while you have yours. But to do that you should be with the right one. And thank you for being the one for me, you perfectly fat, I mean fit!
Happy Valentines my Dear. I love you and still, I'm Growing Old with You.
***Love,***
***Jocelyn***
Now I have to turn this into a beautiful card! I need to get crafty! 🥰
What do you think of my letter?
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!❤
Bitcoin Cash Transaction Failed to Send
I'm having a problem with my account in Bitcoin.com. I only have my Bitcoin Cash in there which comes from the tips in my read.cash and noise.cash account. And I haven't touch it so I haven't tried sending before.
Two weeks ago, I tried to send my BCH from Bitcoin.com to my Binance account and the '**Transaction Failed to Send**' message pops in. So I gave it more time and days but every time I tried, it says the same thing.
I message Bitcoin.com in their support agent in the app (3 February) and able to talk to Brian regarding my concern.
I send him the screenshot of the error message. Though it took a long time for him to check my account, he came back asking if I'm using VPN which I answer, "No, I don't." And that's the end of his customer support and told me he will forward my concern to their admin for further check. Honestly, I'm quite disappointed.
There are no updates after that. 5th of February I message again regarding my concern and Yulia is the second one to hopefully help me with my account.
She's accomodating and I can feel that she is trying to help me. So Yulia asks me to tap on my BCH wallet then tap on the 3 dots menu in the top right corner of that particular wallet, then click on the Wallet information then scan for missing transactions. She said it should sync my wallet with the back-end again. And I did, but still failed transaction after trying many times.
Then she asked if I restored the system of my device via cloud backup and I said yes. She also asked me if I key in the amount manually or by tapping 'all' button and I said I'd tried both and still transaction failed.
And the last thing she asked me is to complete this information:
operating system
operating system version
device model
location
device language
using wi-fi or cellular data?
wallet app version
Wallet ID
And that she will pass this issue to their developers.
After that, I check Google Playstore checking if there's anything in their App review that could help me. But I see none but I saw a response by Bitcoin.com giving their email which is wallet@bitcoin.com. So I tried to message it for possible immediate help. The next day I received an email, to my surprised it is the same support agent when I thought it's their developer.
Yulia said she's sorry and that they don't have any news yet. I feel hopeless.
**Is there anyone who can help me to just move my BCH from Bitcoin.com to Binance? Bitcoin.com swap features not also working. I cannot do anything in that wallet. What should I do?**
What is your Idea of a Total Package Woman?
The world seems to expect too much from a woman. She needs to be everything that the world needs and it gets more complicated when she becomes a wife and have children. So she has to be herself, a wife and a mother all at the same time. Are they this worlds Wonder Woman? I bet they are!
So what does total package mean to you? What is a real man looking for? Well, we know for a fact that a pretty face is just part of a package and its not that all. To be a total package woman, she needs to be a **high-value woman**. It means a woman who embodies great qualities and character. It means she has this high level of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being within her. Some simply say she could be:
Stunning
Have an outstanding personality
Sexy
Smart
Capable of independent
No mental issues
Physically
**Stunning and Presentable**
Every man wants a woman that he can proudly show to the world. I think that's the first thing they always say they wanted. They want a beautiful sexy woman that they couldn't take their eyes off. But believe me when I say that a man loves a woman who is comfortable with her skin, no matter the size and colour.
Mentally
**Smart and Confident**
A woman that can express herself well. A woman with a great personality and intellectual capacity. A woman you can rely on. She can't be just a pretty face, pure appearance. She should have good manners too.
Emotionally
**Optimistic**
How great it is to have a woman who is so positive in life. Loves to smile and have fun. She has a stable mind and emotion. A man cherishes this kind of woman.
Spiritually
A God-fearing woman. A submissive wife who attends to her husband's and family's needs.
*For me, a high-value woman is full of life. She is open to changes and loves adventure. She's curious and interesting. She loves to smile. She is funny and can be serious when it's needed. She's smart and can stand her ground. She makes her own money and very independent. A woman that won't compromise or settle for anyone and anything less than she deserves.*
And that will change if you are looking for a total package wife material. And there it will involve a woman that can be:
**A woman that can look after herself**.
A woman can do wonderful things. And keeping her looks and figure while taking care of her family is quite a challenge because most of the time she doesn't have time to look into the mirror and fix herself.
But you cannot underestimate woman as she is good at multitasking. She makes ways. But a great way to keep woman's beauty is to look after her.
**A woman that can look after her kids, her family and home.**
A woman that can cook. A man loves good food and most especially made by the one he cherishes the most. A woman who works with the man building and keeping their home. A woman that keeps the house glow because of her light. A woman that can look after the kids and knows how to look after them with love and care. That woman is for keeps.
**And a woman that can look after her husbands needs in every aspect.**
A man needs all the love and care. He needs a woman's support. And good sex of course! She could be naughty and nice. She could be playful and don't just lie down in bed.
How challenging is that? Like a beauty queen with a crown, on her heels, carrying her baby while cooking and cleaning all at the same time.
So here's a funny one. 😅 I ask my dear friend from Sweden of what is his idea of a total package woman and here's what he says:
Hahaha. 🤣🤣🤣
And I also ask others opinion in noise.cash of their idea of a total package woman and here's what they say..
I think the only thing i seek in a woman is that she can be part of the team. I think in order to have a nice life with your partner is to be able to work as a team, and that's it :D. If you can do that with your partner, then that's your ideal woman/man.
@cesar.cantante
Someone who can cook well? Someone who knows how to take care of the kids? Someone who do the chores and is very neat and clean. I guess most of the man would refer us more to someone who can give them a home not just a house.
@Glez
Someone who is God-fearing.. submissive to husband...know hows to take care ,train and discipline her kids.
@goldencathy
Independent and vital.
@carisdaneym
One who is ready to walk with me through the thick, thin and thorns life...
@KennieKing
Thank you all for your lovely response.
**P.S.**
Woman's total package includes free shipping and handling. Check for any damage before receiving and once it's in your hands please look after it with tender loving care. The package is fragile.
How about you, what is your idea of a total package woman?
Me?

If You Want to Change Your Life, Change the Story You Tell Yourself
**Do you tell a story of success or do you play the role of a victim? Do you speak good about yourself or do you lack self-love? Do you believe in you or do you tell yourself I'm not good enough? And most of all do you live your life as you or do you live your life as someone else?**
You must have felt as if you were left behind. When you check your social media account, you see most of your friends having a successful life. Some always travelling, some already bought a house and lot, some are getting married, starting their family life while you are still on your day-dreaming state of mind. Will I ever catch up? Have you asked yourself that? Do you know how it feels? I do. I understand that kind of feeling because just like you, I've been there and felt bad. It's depressing.
You know what? I used to blame others on what's happening in my life. Why I'm in this situation is because of them. They owe me a better life. I speak ill of myself. I am myself greatest critic. You will not hear me saying any positive things about me. If someone compliments me, I wouldn't say a thing because it sounds like sarcasm to me. Because when I look in the mirror, I don't see what they see. They must be blind. Or am I?
I love to dream, I want to be **her**, I want to have all those luxurious things and be successful in life but never did I try to be **me** or try to have my dreams turn to reality. As if the reality is not my comfort zone and only in dreaming my wishful thinking do come true. That's how I live my life.
Do you know what's wrong with us? *We put limits to the stories we tell ourselves*. And that is the reason why our life still the same. Nothing has changed for good, no progress and still a loser. Do you want to change your life? You will when you are ready. Do you want a change? Are you ready for a change? Make up your mind.
Identify Your Story
The first step in changing your life is to identify your story and discover yourself.
*What kind of story did you tell yourself to believe?* Did you tell yourself, I will not be successful because I didn't finish school, I don't have any degree so I will be poor in my entire life? Have you read the story of the World's Successful People? Some or most of them don't have a degree and some are drop-outs but still, they work hard and persevere to achieve their goals in life.
Did you tell yourself you will not get a good partner in life? You were a single mother or because you think you're big and ugly and that no one will like you for being you? Stop that thinking. That's wrong. And that's not true.
Why are you so negative? **Ask yourself.** Where and how did it start? What experiences in life that made you a negative person. Assess yourself and accept the fact that you need change to grow. And from then on, change the story you tell yourself. Change your story and make it a beautiful positive one.
***Focus on you. Don't be someone else.***
***BE YOU.***
Shifting Your Story
Now that you discover yourself and identify your story, you have to make a new one for yourself. Visualize.
**You were just as good as anyone else**. You can be and achieve everything your heart desires. The universe is your catalogue, take a pick. The universe is your genie in the bottle, make a wish. Think of what can you do to make you feel confident. Empower yourself.
Support your New Story
Shifting your story and having a new one is not always enough. You have to believe in it. When you ask for something you have to believe it even for at times it will be like a tennis match that will play in your head. You have to succeed.
If you want to change, you must know what to keep and what to let go. Who are the people that will help you achieve your goals? Who are the people that will keep dragging you down? Release. Let them go.
What are the bad habits that you need to change? Make new good habits.
You have to transform the old you into a new you. You are the best version of you in progress. You have to feel good. Harness the positive energy. What makes you feel happy? Do it! Do you like to sing and dance? Put the music on and enjoy the beat.
Emotions Are Key
Do you know about the good feeling and a bad feeling? The good feeling will support your positive thoughts. If you're feeling good, you're sending this signal to the universe to give you more of the things to feel good about. And that's the law of attraction. You attract what you think and what you feel. That's why you should be careful of what you are telling to yourself, it will believe it. Feel good. Think positive and always thinks of what you like and be consistent.
Nothing Happens Without Action
Sitting still and wishing will not take you far. Visualization needs action. It needs hard work. They say the good Lord sends the fishing but you must dig the bait. You have to get out of your comfort zone and do the things you've never done before. What do you want? How will you get it? Do it! Chase it! Work hard.
**Love Yourself and Be Kind to Yourself**
Don't be hard on yourself. Success and change don't happen overnight. Start within you. Give yourself some tender loving care. Have self-talk. Appreciate yourself. Say thank you self.
Don't be discouraged if no one believes in you. Keep going. Take baby steps, if you must and if you fall, get up. If there's no one else to help you, help yourself. Find the strength and courage that is in you the whole time. **Change is coming, success is in your hand.**
Keeping Up Appearances
Aside from Columbo, my favourite detective, my husband and I love watching Mrs Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances. We have its complete DVD series. She is unbelievable, I never see or knew anyone like her. But maybe you do?
**Keeping Up Appearances** is a great successful British Sitcom originally aired on BBC1 from 1990 to 1995. **Hyacinth Bucket** who is the central character is an overbearing, snobbish, lower-middle-class social climber who insists that her name is pronounced *"Bouquet".* Her husband Richard has already told her that it was always *"Bucket"* until he met her. Hyacinth focuses her life impressing others with her pretended affluence.
*Funny Mispronunciation Clip:*
https://youtu.be/FboWtJiNYro
**Hyacinth Bucket**
She loves to brag about her "*white slimline telephone with automatic redial* and always answer with *"The Bouquet residence the lady of the house speaking!"* on her exaggerated accent when she has a native Northern accent. Frequently Hyacinth receives calls asking for a Chinese take-away which making her angry.
*Watch this clip:*
https://youtu.be/-pzRqc022tA
She loves to visit stately home because she is convinced she can meet and make friends with the upper-class aristocrat owners. She often hosts an "exclusive candlelit supper" with her pride, the '*Royal Worcester Double glazed Avignon China'* and her *'Royal Daulton China with the hand-painted periwinkles'.*
**Richard Bucket**
Hyacinth's husband Richard suffers the most unbearable living with her. I don't know how he able to live and stay with Hyacinth as she controls his whole life. He is constantly telling him what to do every time at anything especially when driving. She never shut up. He must love her too much to endure all of it.
*Watch this clip:*
https://youtu.be/XdYAYfI21Qs
**Hyacinth's Family**
She lives to impress others and that's her mission in life but her lower-class sisters, **Daisy** and **Rose** hindering her to keep her heads up. Along with her senile father and **Onslow** who is Daisy's bone idle husband who frequently turns up in their clapped-out Ford Cortina MKIV which makes a distinguished backfire when it arrived. Hyacinth goes mental and tries her best to avoid them. She always tells Richard that she loves her family but that's no reason why she would acknowledge them in broad daylight. And the way her sister Rose dress, how sexually aggressive she is, embarrassed Hyacinth.
https://youtu.be/vC-5Jw-AtaA
But there are these two whom Hyacinth is not ashamed of. One, her unseen son Sheridan, who is obviously a gay but seems oblivious to his mother. She always boasts and tries to impress people about his son's intellectual prowess (*when he actually only takes a course in needlework at a polytechnic*) and their 'psychic' closeness and how often he phones and write to her. Although the truth is that he never writes and that he only phones his mother to ask for money.
And the other one, her wealthy sister Violet who frequently call Hyacinth for advice, and while on call she will announce it loudly to anyone around (most of the time Elizabeth) that **it's her sister Violet, the one with swimming pool and sauna and room for a pony**. However, Violet's husband Bruce has an eccentric behaviour of cross-dressing that damaged Violet's social acceptability.
**Elizabeth and Emmet**
Hyacinth's neighbour Elizabeth is the one frequently called in for a nice cup of coffee at the Bucket's residence. Elizabeth's nerves go to pieces when she's in Hyacinth's house even though she is normally calm. She often breaks Hyacinth's china or spills coffee and biscuit on Hyacinth's Burmese rug. And it was a laugh when Elizabeth was invited in and asked what she wants to use, the china or beaker and Elizabeth frantically says, Beaker! Coz she's afraid she's going to smash it again.
*Watch this clip of Elizabeth's spilling moments:*
https://youtu.be/YEKb_T3M-18
And here comes Elizabeth's brother Emmet who stayed with her after his messy divorce. Upon learning that Emmet is a musician, Hyacinth frequently and abruptly sings out-of-key at him to try to get a part in one of his productions. Emmet becomes terrified of leaving the house because as soon as she sees him, she'll sing at him. His problems are made worse when Hyacinth's mistaken belief that his frightened reactions indicate that he is infatuated with her which is further from the truth.
*Hyacinth Singing to Emmet:*
https://youtu.be/Q4-Hzw-Mls0
Not only her neighbours but Hyacinth always confronts the postman and complains about her receiving mail bearing second class stamps. And the milkman, for she wants to know which cow her milk coming from. Even the vicar can't stand "that Bucket woman!"
Oh, she's unbelievable but you know what, Mrs Bucket or in real life Patricia Routledge was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 for her services to entertainment and charity that made her **Dame Katherine Patricia Routledge**.
Do you know anyone like Mrs Bucket? How do you deal with her?
Hoyoland Eco-Tropical Resort in Silang Cavite, Philippines
*Do you need a time-out of your busy stressful life? Living in a city and longing for the natural environment, fresh air and perfect tranquillity? I think we all need this break once in a while.*
**Welcome to Hoyoland Eco-Tropical Resort!** A perfect getaway truly refined by nature. Its 33,000 square meter land of the lush green landscape is full of coconut trees and pineapple plantation. If you want to run away from the noise and the stress of the city, then Hoyoland Eco-Tropical Resort is your ultimate choice for relaxation. Not only that, but Hoyoland is also perfect for vacation, events like wedding and birthdays and company's team building.
This unspoiled place is situated in Barangay Hoyo in Silang Cavite which is 30 minutes away from Tagaytay and just 15 minutes away from Nuvali. This is a place of endless beauty. Everywhere you laid your eyes on is just looks so heavenly.
Accommodation
Hoyoland created this unique accommodation beautifully designed replica showcasing the old Filipino houses. This tribal houses in the Philippines such as Torogan, Yakan Vigan, Bahay Kubo, Mangyan and the Ifugao house.
***Maranao Torogan***
The **Torogan** is a type of house native to the Maranao in Lanao, Mindanao in the Philippines. This is no ordinary house to Maranao family because this house was a symbol of high social status. Residents of this house are the Sultan or Datu in the Maranao Community.
***Balay Lakoy (Mangyan House)***
The **Mangyan** **house** is native to the island of Mindoro. The commercial house is elevated from the ground at 1.5m to the surrounding platform. This one-room structure measures 6x10m and is rectangular in plan. Flooring is made of a smoothened smaller sapling.
***Ibatan Bahay (Ibatan House)***
The **Ivatan House** is a unique vernacular architecture made primarily of lime, stone, wood and thatch which is developed in the province of Batanes.
***Bahay na Bato (Stone House)***
The **Bahay na Bato**, literally Stone House is the Colonial Family Noble House originating during the Philippines' Spanish Colonial period. The house architectural design is a mixture of native Filipino, Chinese and Spanish influence.
***Luma Yakan***
The **Luma Yakan** is a rectangular structure at least 2 meters elevated above the ground by timber posts. Native to indigenous Yakan people in the Sulu Archipelago(Basilan and also in Zamboanga City).
The Yakan house was usually clustered around the langgal (mosque), which is the centre of the community, but they don't have compact villages because the houses were scattered among the fields and the houses are surrounded by fruit trees and vegetables.
***Bahay Kubo (Nipa Hut)***
**Bahay Kubo** or **Nipa hut** is the most famous icon of the Philippines culture. This is a type of stilt house. The name Bahay Kubo is based on the Spanish word "Cubo" which means "cube" probably because of its square shape and appearance and "Bahay" is the Tagalog word for "house".
Team Building
Hoyaland also offers the best activities and facilities for team building. They have an obstacle course called **"balakid kurso",** ATV, volleyball, billiard, table tennis and campfire area.
Event Hall and Restaurant
Their guest will surely enjoy their 2 open-air even halls called **"Bulwagan"** (Conference Hall) which can accommodate 2oo people and enjoy their garden restaurant **"Kusina Ummi".** Their food is *Ummizingly* delicious!
They also have a swimming pool though it wasn't that big it surely a great plus in the place. I did enjoy it like a child.
*I was here with my sisters (2018) for their company's team building. First of all the place is beautiful and serene. This very place is perfect for everything. Hoyoland has a place for every activities and program. It's perfect for families, batchmates and friends who are planning for a reunion. And just like what we experience, this is ideal for companies team building even great for school retreat too! We had so much fun on their obstacle course. I love it!*
*So next time that you are planning to get away and unwind please do visit* ***Hoyoland Eco-Tropical Resort*** *and experience its beauty and let it recharge your body and soul.*

Tipping
*A* ***gratuity*** *which we normally called a* ***tip*** *is a sum of money given by a customer or client to a certain service they have performed in addition to the basic price of the service.*
Do you give tip when you order food for delivery or any service provided to you? I want to share my experience when I was helping out in delivering food in our local Chinese and Indian Shop.
Delivering food is loads of fun and when I get tips, Im over the moon. It wasn't that hard, they gave us the customer's order and we deliver it to their house. I enjoyed it as I love to smile and when I ring the bell I have my big smile ready to greet them, and of course with their food in my hand. I had so many crazy and scary experiences in delivery.
There is no such thing as a small tip. A tip is a tip, a delivery driver will appreciate it. To be honest, I was hopeful that customers will give me tip. Not all customer give tips. And the fact that tips are not mandatory so everyone should be grateful for any amount of tips they've received.
**What is the tip for me?**
For me, people give tips because I did my job and they are happy with my service. And some customers are just really lovely people with a good generous heart. Did you know that a delivery driver based on my experience got paid £20(which goes for petrol) delivering from 4:30 pm -11:30 pm? What they get after is the delivery charge plus the tips. So the tips are really helpful to make up their money for that night. Some workers rely on tips because they don't get much wage.
**What did I realize in delivering?**
*I thought if I deliver to big houses, I'll get more tip but I was wrong. Those with money won't give away a penny. Delivering to a big house doesn't mean they will give you a tip because they are rich.*
I deliver in this big beautiful house with a big smile on my face, a woman so elegant looking come to the door with the money on her hand asking me how much it is. So I told her how much her bill was and she gave me the money, saw that there's a 20p excess, and she took it from my hand.
While most of our customers will say keep the change, some will wait for their 10p change. And that's no problem as I know we all have our reasons why we tip or don't tip.
*Generous people live in humble homes. Those you thought won't give you tip most of the times are the one who gives.*
I will not forget an elderly woman who gave me a pound tip for a £5 order and told me, "I'm sorry for that tip, I'm on a budget". My heart was so touched by her gesture. She is on a tight budget but still spares a pound to give. Some people who don't have much always give more. That's very true.
Since we have many regular customers, I met many generous people who are very nice to give tip. To be honest most of them give tip or tell me to keep "this for yourself". Some nights I made a £15 tip which is big money for me**.**
**I don't forget to say "thank you with a big smile".**
As I say it earlier on when delivering I was hopeful that customers can give me tips because it made me feel like I did a good job and that's their way to show that they appreciate it, that they acknowledge it, especially when I'm delivering in the pouring rain or some freezing nights and even walking up to the top of the apartment where they live to deliver food. Seriously, sometimes I have to walk up to the top floor of the building and sometimes I don't get a tip. Sometimes I feel bad about it too.
**Do I tip?**
Yes. Why? Because it makes me happy to give. That's my way of appreciation. That's my way of saying thank you. And giving doesn't have a price on it. Give what you are willing to give. I experienced the joy of receiving tips and I know how good it feels and I witness peoples faces when they received tips. A little bit extra won't make us skint and that tips can make someone's day. And the truth that no one has ever become poor by giving. You should see the spark in their eyes when you give tips. The giver is the happiest more than the receiver.
I've been to other countries and I can say that they also looking forward to a tip. If you dine in a restaurant or get a massage. And I always tip. If I'm with my sister (accountant) she always computes 20% of our bill and that's how much we are going to tip. My husband and Mum whenever they receive such service always give tips. Mum said "give tip, be generous" that's how her granny raised her.
**Why people don't give tips?**
Well, I know for a fact that people have not much to spare. And I know people because they working hard for that money won't just give it away.
*In* ***Japan****, tipping is considered rude. Their culture is firmly rooted in hard work, respect and dignity. Good service is a standard so tips are considered unnecessary.*
How about you, do you give tips? Why or why not?
*If you are giving from the heart, that is you expressing love.*
**Thank you so much for reading.**

Motorcycles Display at the Ulster Transport Museum
I can tell you we had an amazing time at the Ulster Transport Museum. This separate building is called Land, Sea & Sky Galleries which features different transport means in a different category. These Motorcycles are part of the land gallery together with the early bicycles that I recently published.
*Let's have a look.*
George Brockerton's Bitza Motorcycle
George Brockerton (1898-1965), of Coleraine Antrim, was a superstar of his time. He is the only Irishman to hold a Brooklands Gold Star for speeds in excess of 100mph (161 km/h) and in 1929, he is part in organising the very first North West 200. Brockerton and W.R. Chamberlain built this motorcycle using parts from many other makes of motorcycle, including Triumph, Norton, Sunbeam and Velocette.
*Brockerton called the motorcycle"****Bitza****" because it was made from "****bits a this and bits a that****".*
He went on to prove himself a hero during World War II, leading a convoy of Allied vehicles to safety at Dunkirk. After the war, he took up competitive racing again, and was also famous for such dare-devil feats as riding across Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, County Antrim, and riding the Wall of Death at Barry's Amusement in Portrush, County Antrim.
McCandless Manx Norton Motorcycle
Rex McCandless (1915-1992) was a successful racer, who handled his problem about his Triumph Motorbike successfully. He was an inventor who able to come up with a solution -the legendary "**Featherbed**" frame. The motorbike was easier to control and this frame was so strong and rigid that it did not twist like other frames. Norton adopted the featherbed frame for use on all of its successful racing bikes. And it dominated the sport worldwide in the 1950s and 1960s.
McCandless felt that the British motorbike industry could no longer compete with that of the Japanese, he then later turned his attention from motorbikes to cars and then to aeroplanes.
*Up to this day, the featherbed frame continues to influence motorbike design.*
Tom Herron's Bianchi Motorcycle
Tom Herron (1948-1979) was a successful Grand Prix racer in the 1970s. He is from Lisburn in County Down and was particularly admired in his career as a "**privateer**". Because rather than being backed by a major motorcycle company, he prepares his own vehicles for racing.
*He purchased his Bianchi motorcycle from his uncle and converted it into his first racer.*
Tom Herron finally secured backing from Suzuki GB in 1979. His career was brought to a tragic end just months later, following a serious crash in the North West 200. It is known as "*Black Saturday*" when he died when the race also claimed the lives of three riders. Just before his death, he was restoring this motorcycle to its original condition.
Stanley Woods and the Cotton Motorcycle
Stanley Woods (1903-1993) was the most successful Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) racer of the 1930s. He had ten wins in the race, which made him a record holder for an impressive twenty-five years. He also excelled at several versions of the sport, including ice-racing, scrambling and speed events. He was viewed with awe and respect as an unbeatable superstar. He raced a Cotton Motorcycle similar to this 1923 example. This motorcycle ha a side-valve engine, whereas his motorcycle was fitted with an overhead valve engine.
Stanley Wood's fame continued long after his racing career ended in 1966, yet he remained a modest man. In 1979 he famously queued up for the first Classic Bike Show in Manchester, only to be welcomed as a guest of honour at the same event three years later. In 1983, at the age of 80, he took part in the National "Classic Bike" Event.
**Model H Triumph Motorcycle**
With the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the Triumph factory in Coventry, West Midlands, England, geared its production to support the war effort, supplying ohver 30, ooo motorcycles to the despatch riders of the Allied forces. So reliable over rugged terrain was the Model H that it was nicknamed "The Trusty".
The Model H went out of production in 1925, but Triumph went from strength to strength. Having overcome many problems, including financial losses and factory fires, the company remains a privately owned British company today. It continues to produce innovative motorcycles, such as the Rocket III.
1939 Velocette Motorcycle
**Registration GZ 2586**
The Veloce company of Hall Green, Birmingham was a small, family-run motorcycle manufacturer. Before the Second World War, the firm was well known for constructing both road-going and racing motorbikes of high quality. Today the firm is probably best to remember of their LE Velocette (LE stands for Little Engine) motorbike, which was a favourite of many British police forces. It remained in production from 1948 until 1970.
The Velocette on display here is a GTP model that was introduced in 1930 and continued in production until 1946. The GTP was a reliable, lightweight 250cc motorcycle with good power delivery and pleasant steering. This example was built in 1939 and originally supplied to the War Department, who disposed of it in 1945. It was refurbished and used by various owners in Belfast and County Down.
And there you go. Isn't it cool to see these bikes that we don't see every day?
*I enjoy writing this as my husband loves racing since he was 5 years old and won many trophies and awards. He was also part of the Antrim Club. He stopped racing when he is 14 or 15. But last month he bought a bike again and told me of thinking to go back to racing to keep him fit. I say nothing.*
And here are some of his trophies:
**Ulster Transport Museum is a must-see tourist attraction here in Northern Ireland aside from the Titanic Belfast, Game of Thrones location, Crumlin Road Gaol and many more. So make sure to put it in your bucket list.**
Thank you for reading.
How Can I Save to Reach My Bitcoin Cash Goal
I couldn't be more proud of myself and grateful for knowing read.cash. It's amazing how a full-time Mom like me, can make money the same time I'm looking after my family. It gives me this sense of pride, that now, I'm not just a housewife, a mom who depends solely on her husband. It's a wonderful feeling when I know that I'm making my own money. It's very fulfilling.
I used to work full time. I'm in the same company from 2008-2018, it was the best as we go travel and go to different places and have activities most of the time. I wasn't lazy. Im very independent at a very young age because life was tough when I was young. My kids are very lucky that they don't have to face the hardships we've been through when were about their age. Choosing family overwork wasn't an easy decision. Home is not my comfort zone. Depending on my husband for money is not ideal for me. Then I have to deal with it. I love my family.
I joined read.cash in September 2020. I was overwhelmed with the points and tips I received. I wasn't sure if it was real, that I can really make money out of writing. Then I just have to try and be amazed at how it turns out. I was so excited to write every day. Sometimes, I don't have much sleep. But I'm good. I'm enjoying what I'm doing because I'm being rewarded for it. Imagine, just after 3 months, I able to save money to send to my family for Christmas. My Papa and Mama were so happy. Though I always send some, this time, this is from my hard work. That money was from read.cash. And how amazing was that?!
New Year 2021, I promised myself that this time I'll be saving for myself. I want to have as many Bitcoin Cash as I can save. Did you know all the fiat money I turned it into Cryptocurrency? I have my savings from my working days and my salary from my husband. Because I don't like asking for money. And my husband aware of that. I won't touch money unless it was given to me. And so my husband giving me £30 weekly as a wife's salary or should I say reward? My husband appreciates me, that's why I do more. I got rewarded in read.cash that's why I do and give more. That's how I like it even more.
Why would I save **Bitcoin Cash?** Because I believe in it. I read and watch articles and videos regarding Bitcoin Cash and tell myself, Okay, Let's do it! https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-cash-for-beginners
So how can I save more Bitcoin Cash? Here:
**Add more money weekly.** So the money that my husband giving me every week, I intend to turn it into Bitcoin Cash. Since the money doesn't really grow in the bank and a small interest doesn't really make much difference.
**Write more article in read.cash.** I make money writing article in read.cash and get tips from therandomrewarderbot and tips from other generous users which I always appreciated.
**Be active in noise.cash.** This is amazing, yet again another great platform. Much better than Twitter or Facebook. In noise.cash you can get free tips and share it with others and get tips at the same time for the same thing you do in other platform that you can't earn on. Noise.cash gives me the opportunity to post and earn. People will surely adapt to Bitcoin Cash.
I just and we just have to say **THANK YOU** *Sir @MarcDeMesel* for making this possible because of your generous donations both in read.cash and noise. cash. You're unbelievable!
As of now, I have 3 BCH and hopefully, surely I will make it grow to 5 BCH in March 2021. I would love to make/add at least 1 BCH monthly. This is my investment in the future.
My husband also have an account in Binance now and getting a profit from it! (More than me) He even told his friends that it was real and other already open an account and bought Bitcoin Cash. Isn't that cool? Spread Bitcoin Cash in Northern Ireland!
I can't wait for my **Club1BCH** T-shirt to come. It is marked shipped so I just can't contained my excitement to wear it and to show to everyone. Let's all save Bitcoin Cash and HODL it for our better future. Cheers everyone!
Edit: My Club1BCH T-shirt just arrived!
My Mum Got her First Dose of COVID-19 Vaccine
The first people who are offered the COVID-19 vaccine are those most at risk from complications of the COVID-19. This includes older adults in care homes, frontline health and social care workers and the over 80s.
They require two doses of the same vaccine to give them the best protection. You'll be given a record card after your first dose wherein the name of the vaccine given to you and your second appointment is written on. But in Mum's card the second appointment date, is not filled. The clinic will phone us for the next appointment.
What are the side effects?
Vaccines can cause side effects like all medicines. Not everyone experiences it but most of these are mild and short term. You still need to have the second dose even if you have symptoms after taking the first dose. This will give you the best protection against the COVID-19 virus.
Common side effects include:
headache
feeling tired
mild flu-like symptoms
heavy feeling and tenderness in the arm where you get the jab
You can rest and take paracetamol to help make you feel better as advised.
**Will the vaccine protect her?**
The vaccine has been tested in several different countries in more than 20,000 people and shown to be safe. The COVID-19 vaccine has been shown to reduce the chance of you suffering from the COVID-19 disease.
It will take a few weeks for our body to build up protection from the vaccine. No vaccine is completely effective, like all medicines so it's our responsibility to take the recommended and extra precaution to avoid any infection. We still might get the COVID-19 despite having the vaccine but it would be less severe.
People can believe what they want to believe. COVID-19 spreads through droplets which we breathed out from our nose or mouth when we speak or cough. We can also pick the virus by touching our eyes, nose and mouth with contaminated objects. The vaccine is here to help protect us, most especially those most vulnerable. You cannot catch COVID -19 from the vaccine but it is possible that you have caught the virus and not realise you have the symptoms until after you're given the vaccine.
Mum didn't experience anything wrong with her after taking the vaccine. No soreness or headache, there's nothing. She's perfectly fine. And it gives her peace of mind of catching the virus although there's still the possibility of getting it, we know that she's still protected.
Mum said,
***"Vaccine didn't do me any harm."***
I know that some of you or maybe most of you are against the vaccine. I can understand my Mum in law why she's great about the vaccine. She was born in 1933 at those time there are these diseases polio, whooping cough and others. Her brother got polio that didn't make his life easy up to these days. There's no vaccine at that time. Her son, my brother in law always experience whooping cough that upsets her. Then vaccine was made those days and from then on they have the ways to stop polio and other disease. They save lives.
Then The Queen got her COVID-19 vaccine as well before she gets her. Maybe to show people her confidence regarding the vaccine.
If the vaccine is available in your country, will you take it?
Well, that's completely up to you. We respect each other's belief. Keep safe and healthy everyone.
Early Cycling in Ulster and Ireland
This is what known to the world as the first bicycle which appeared in public on 12 June 1817. A local aristocrat and a German Inventor named **Baron Karl von Drais** (32 at that time) show up to the public, spinning around Mannheim on his 'dandyhorse' which has no pedal, is made of a wooden frame, two wheels and an upholstered armrest. His bicycle was known as the "swift walker" which hits the road in 1817.
Let's see what Ulster and Ireland early bicycles like and those people to thank for this great invention.
**R.J. Mecredy - Cycling and Writing**
**Feats**
Richard James Mecredy was born in Ballinasloe, County Galway in 1861 and was educated at Portora Royal School, Enniskillen. His first cycle race was at Monasterevin in 1883 and he went on to become a successful racing cyclist and Irish champion tricycle racer. He did much to promote cycling tourism in Ireland, publishing maps for cyclists showing scenic routes and steep hills. He also invented the game of bicycle polo in 1891.
**Fortunes**
Although RJ Mecredy never made his fortune, he is recognized as having made significant contributions to the worlds of cycling and motoring through his campaigning and publications such as The Irish Cyclist and Motor News. '**The Father of Irish Motoring'** is what he is often referred to.
William Hume and the Sausage Tyres
**Feats**
This Belfast-built Edlin safety bicycle dating from 1889 is one of the first in the world to be fitted with pneumatic tyres. The man who developed the pneumatic tyre was John Boyd Dunlop, a Belfast vet. Dunlop persuaded William (Willie) Hume, Captain of the Belfast Cruisers Cycling Club to return to racing and ride his new invention at the first public appearance in the competition. The race was held at the Queen's College Athletic Club Sports Day in the grounds of the North of Ireland Cricket Club, Ormeau Road, Belfast on 18th May 1889.
*On the day people laughed at the bicycle's "sausage" tyres until Willie won all four races*. A few weeks later he travelled to Liverpool and became the first person to win a race in pneumatic tyres in England.
**Fortunes**
This bicycle was owned by Arthur du Cros from Dublin. Arthur was among those beaten on this first occasion by William Hume on the new tyres. Despite this, the du Cros family recognised the potential of the pneumatic tyre and subsequently exploited Dunlop's innovation, building a successful global industry and making Dunlop a household name.
Arthur du Cros later became the Member of Parliament for Hastings and was opposed to giving the vote to women. In April 1913, a suffragette named Kitty Marion burnt his East Sussex home to the ground in protest.
Woman's Bicycle
**Feats**
From the 1890s it became acceptable for women to ride bicycles. For those lucky enough to have a bicycle, this changed their lives in subtle but significant ways. Here, at last, was a form of transport which did not require them to have the strength of a man. Here also was the chance to escape tight corsets and very long skirts in favour of more practical clothing, such as bloomers and divided skirts. Young ladies also relished the opportunity to escape from their chaperones and cycle either alone or with friends.
**Fortunes**
The role of the bicycle in the struggle for women's rights has been underestimated. As Susan B. Anthony, the American campaigner for women's rights said in 1896:
"The bicycle has done more for the emancipation of women more than anything else in the world."
Opel German Bicycle
Opel was founded in 1884 and was one of the earliest German bicycle companies.
**Feats**
This bicycle was used by the German army in World War I (1914-1918). Unusually, springs were used for its tyres, as there was a shortage of rubber at the time. Bicycle were a very important means of transport during the war, enabling large numbers of troops to cover longer distances than would have been possible on foot. Eight Radfahr-Bataillonen (bicycle battalions) were active within the German army during the war.
**Fortunes**
The dents on the bicycles show that it had a working life during wartime. It was donated to the Belfast Museum & Art Gallery by the British War Office in 1920, which suggests that it had been seized from the defeated German forces. In 1938, Opel stopped producing bicycles and concentrated on armaments.
John Hanson's 'Round the World' Bicycle
**Feats**
Between 15 September 1981 and 17 September 1982, John Hanson (born 1953) undertook an epic journey on this Vikings Clubman bicycle, made by Viking Cycles in Londonderry. Accompanied by John Rogers, he travelled across Europe, Asia and North America to raise money for the charity Tearfund. The pair cycled 13,000 miles (21,000 km) in total, averaging 50 miles (81km) per day. They trained little before embarking on the journey, which was planned using a Philips School Atlas.
**Fortunes**
Just over £54,000 was raised for the charity, which went to help refugees from Northern Thailand who had fled unrest in the neighbouring county of Laos. Despite being robbed at gunpoint in Thailand, suffering from sickness and diarrhoea in India and coming off their bicycles in the United States, the intrepid cyclists enjoyed their journey and felt that it was relatively problem-free. John Hanson wrote a book -Around the World in Cycle Clips: An Eye-opening Journey through Calamities, Curries and Culture Shock (1990) - about their adventures and he remains a keen cyclist.
*Transport provide this opportunity for people to go above and beyond their own physical limitation. It's amazing how bicycles change the face of transport and history. Thank you for the amazing people behind this genius invention.*
Life is Like a Race
Life is like a race, I am tired of running. Since I was a child, there's this hurdles I must win. Study hard and get good grades. Finish your school and get a degree. I fought to be the top in our class just to get a job and work from 9 to 5 for a salary that doesn't even last for a minute in my hand. Work to pay bills. Work and gets into debts. When I gave my all for my job, the company won't even compensate me right. Work and work but still not working to have a life.
I run. I run coz everyone's running. I don't want to be left behind. Then I fell. Looking for a helping hand, I look around I swear. But I failed to find one and realized I have to stand on my own feet. Find the strength within me that I've never knew existed. Because there's nobody there to help me, so I must help myself instead.
I got lost. I got lost in the race. Where am I? I'm in the place where nobody is running. They don't know the race. They sitting comfortably waiting for someone else for a feed. Sleep when the sun is shining and get up when the sun is at its peak. "Why run?" they ask. They contended on their dependent living. I must go. I don't belong here.
So I tried to find the way. I look for the road. I'm so confused, which one should I choose? Okay**,** I'll take a pick, **"Eeny, meeny**, **miney**, **mo."** Cheers**.** Here I go!
I got tired. I have no luck. You know, I thought I was on the right path. I met fellow runners, I was excited, my heart started to pound. They will help me in this race they promised me that. But when we're having a rest they just sprint and left me behind.
I walk. I walk slowly. I took a different path. I said I will take my time. I enjoy the trees and the flowers while walking by. I listen when the birds chirp as if they cheering me up. I will lay down in the fields and smell the fresh air when I get tired. It was beautiful. I enjoyed my company. From now on I will enjoy walking alone.
I met others, some walking some are running. Some say goodbye for I'm too slow. Some take a different path because they got bored. Some gave up while some weren't able to go on. Some even show me a shortcut that I'm thankful I didn't walk on.
Then I met this one, who didn't promise me anything but walk with me, didn't leave me. He never asks me to run. He just let me do as I please. We walk hand in hand. We enjoy walking while laughing. My heart starts to pound once more.
I run. I run again. But this time I'm not alone. Now, I'm not going to stop. I will walk. I will rest. But I will keep going. Because now I'm more confident. I trust not the road, not the people but I now trust in me.
Life is like a race. It doesn't matter if you walk, run or leap. It never about if I got lost, if I gave up or if I walk alone. The thing is I pick myself up when I'm down and find my way back to the race after I got lost. **It's not about who reaches it first.** I don't care if I came last. It's not a race anyway but a journey you have to enjoy no matter what lies ahead. You just gotta face it with a smile and courage.
*What if we don't have much time left? Who knows?*
**Enjoy the journey. Appreciate the road. ❤❤❤**
5 Ways to Lose Money in Crypto Trading (A beginners Guide)
Seriously, I'm so good at this. In terms of cooking, this is my specialty so I can assure you that what I'm going to share is 100% proven and tested, you'll gonna lose your hard-earned money. If you're new in trading this will magically help you. Thank me later!
This is for short term only.
Let's start!
I say the first and most important thing of all is to just **dive in into trading without researching**. You don't need to read and research about cryptocurrency. You don't need to be knowledgeable. Being stupid works just fine. Just get your card from your wallet, buy some cryptos that sound nice and start trading. That sounds pretty easy, right?
The second important thing, once you have cryptos in your account after a successful buy, watch your account every single second. Crypto is for the faint-hearted. **If your money, keeps dropping, don't keep calm, hurry up, get nervous, be extremely worried and sell.** This is very important to attain our goal of losing money. You can only lose money if you sell when the market is down. You don't need a profit, so sell.
Third, **keep changing your mind.** Don't stick or hodl your gems. If you read something in noise.cash, read.cash, Twitter, Facebook, telegram that your crypto's gonna crash, listen and sell even if it means it will be a loss. Or if you read somewhere that there's a certain coin that will skyrocket, trade your trusted ones. We must listen to gossip and act without thinking. Who knows if our trusted cryptos going to the moon, surely we want to stay poor.
Okay fourth, we're getting there. **Take a pick, keep guessing**. Pick a coin from the losers category. Of course, they think, red turns green but most of the time it remains bloody. Take advantage of it. There's new crypto in town, again don't read about it just guess if it sounds good, maybe it is. Were going to lose! I'm so excited.
And lastly and still important point, stick into a single crypto. **You don't need to diversify your portfolio**. And once that crypto goes down every minute. Sell, then buy, then sell. Accumulate your loss to make it bigger. And surely your loss will be as promising as a shooting star.
And this is additional, not matter most.
*****When buying,*****
*Wait till the market goes down, wait for more. Have patience. And when it goes up.* ***BUY!***
***When selling,***
*Wait till the market are all green and up, wait for more till it reaches the sky and when it drops and drops more,* ***SELL****!*
There you have it! I hope that you lose all your money by following my tips! Feel free to comment on how you lose your money in trading and which is the fastest way.
Cheers everyone. I wish you all the best!

Homeschooling During Lockdown
Homeschooling is not new since the first lockdown. But no matter what, it is very challenging and parents have big responsibilities to make sure that their kids are still learning while on national lockdown.
Before, I get them ready for school and make them breakfast and off they go. I have the time of my peaceful life. Do my cleaning and washing and can sit, browse and chat. Now, even making an article taking me 3-4 nights gap as I only write at night when they're in bed. Now, the whole day and night we're all together. No more peace. 😂
I couldn't complain as I understand the situation. But to tell you the truth, it wasn't easy and a bit stressful when I have two children, two sets of homeschool work that we need to work on.
They both use Seesaw App (Class and Family) in their class to send the homeschool work and we answer it, send them back. And as my son Jigz is in P5, there are more complicated works. Same what they do in school. It's more serious. Sometimes, I am so disappointed with myself that I have to google the answer because I don't know and I can't remember it. And you know what? It's very challenging as what I taught in school when I was studying, the way we answer multiplication and division is different from how they are taught now. Sometimes, my son argues with me as it is not the way the teacher show them to do it.
So we do my sons school work from 9-1 pm and Tia from 1-3 pm. Of course, with all the breaks they need and want. I don't pressure them. Then I start cleaning from 3-4 pm and then cook for our dinner. Knackered.
Some parents in the news said they won't do it as they are not a teacher, that they don't get paid to do the job. Right now, what I am doing, I am also a student, learning together with my kids. Today, we're learning 12 hours and 24 hours time. I'm okay with it. Just hear my sentiment, as I was born in the Philippines. Because in the Philippines, when you are asked what time is it, you simply say, 8:15 or 9:45. But why here in the UK, they have to say quarter past 8 or quarter to ten? Like it's so complicated, whenever my husband tells me the time in that way, my brain has a hard time to download the information and it will be faster to look at my phone to check. 🙄
While Tia's homeschool work is more on having fun while learning as she's only in P1. But sometimes, I can't make her do it. So I have to be patient and work it my way how to encourage her to do the schoolwork.
Some are fun, we go out to do some science experiments, drawing is her favourite ones, reading, counting and tracing most of the time. She said she missed Mrs Bovill (her teacher).
Sometimes the hard bits are to do other stuff like cleaning, cooking and our playtime. Sometimes to make sure Tia is not into mischief while I'm doing some work, I gave her a chair and taught to wash the dishes.
She loves to do it as she only plays with the water bubbles. I think she can use half of the washing liquid in just one go.😂
Before, we go out and play after school work last summer. This wintertime, we just play Jenga, watch the film (Harry Potter), play hide and sick and while counting, Tia will shout from somewhere, "Mommy, come find me under Lola's bed!" 🙈😂
This homeschooling is not easy but if we just take it easy, deep breathe while browsing the works and try to answer it, get help from Google then it's not that hard. Only the time it consumes for supposedly other work is the hard bits so we all have to multitask. I think woman are good at that anyway.
***This time, while teaching my kids helping them, you know what I realize? How great and amazing teachers are! I only have two and I complain of the works. But teachers handle at least 30 kids every day and never complain. How do they do that? I do not know. Salute to all the teachers!*** @Snezana28 ❤
Thank you for reading!

Transport at Work
It's amazing how people have invented vehicles. For over hundreds of years, it serves different working purposes. Without vehicles, the potential of any business is limited.
In the days before large shops and supermarkets, people could expect nearly all of their food and other supplies to be delivered direct to their door.
Businesses tended to specialise in a particular product, such as bread, coal or milk. Each business would have had a local depot, from which drivers collected the goods to deliver to customers.
Today local delivery is used mainly for heavy services such as furniture removals. Up to the late 1990s, there had been a gradual decline in deliveries from business to home, with most deliveries requiring long-distance transportation between major shops and industries. However, with the introduction of internet shopping, a form of "door to door" delivery has again become common.
Here are some of the early transport vehicles that you will see in the Ulster Transport Museum:
Inglis Bakery Horse-drawn Bread Van (c. 1890)
**Duties**
Inglis Bakery used both two and four-wheeled horse-drawn vans to deliver bread and cakes to shops and homes. This two-wheeled van is fitted out with shelves and drawers to hold the produce and the sliding latch on the rear doors could be locked to prevent people from making off with the treats!
**Drivers**
In the 1930s, Inglis Bakery took over a number of smaller bakeries and required many drivers for its fleet of over 100 vehicles.
**Destinations**
In 1890, Inglis Bakery was on Eliza Street in Belfast. Horse-drawn bread vans were used for deliveries around Belfast and its suburbs, with trains carrying huge quantities of bread across the whole of the North of Ireland.
Ice-cream Van (1889)
**Duties**
This horse-drawn van is a rare survivor which found a new life at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in the 1960s. Using cork-insulated boxes and dry ice, the ice cream would have been kept cold on this van.
**Drivers**
Ice-cream sellers in Northern Ireland are often of Italian origin, and family names such as Morelli and Cafolla are well-known. When on the road, the sellers often sounded a bugle to attract. customers.
**Destinations**
Ice-cream vans were, and still are, mainly used in popular seaside towns and outdoor events in Northern Ireland, they are particularly in towns such as Donaghadee, Newcastle and Portrush.
Clonlee Dairy Horse-drawn Milk Float (c.1920)
**Duties**
Milkman William McCrea made daily rounds with this cart, carrying large chums of milk to make deliveries to people's homes. He used jugs to measure out the amount the customer required and poured it to their own jug or basin. The floor of the float is lower than on a normal cart making it easier for the milkman to load the full chums of milk at the start of the round.
**Drivers**
One horse pulled the float with Mr McCrea driving and serving his customers. He lived in Sandown Road, East Belfast from the 1930s and ran his dairy business from 1948 to 1963.
**Destinations**
Clonlee Dairy delivered milk to homes in the Ballyhackamore and Belmont areas of East Belfast.
Bernard Hughes Bread Delivery Van (1948)
**Duties**
This battery-electric delivery van was one of the fleets of vehicles used by Bernard Hughes Bakery to deliver bread door-to-door. Larger vehicles with petrol engines were used for deliveries to shops. The bakery affectionately referred to as *"Barney Hughes's Baker"* invented the famous *"Belfast Bap" -* a round and floury bread bun.
**Drivers**
As the vans could not travel over long distances, drivers had a regular, short route. The batteries became less reliable with age. And it was fairly common, the to see a battery-powered van being towed back to the depot.
**Destinations**
The Original Bernard Hughes Bakery was on the corner of Fountain Lane in Belfast. In 1884, a larger bakery was built on the Springfield Road. The company delivered throughout Belfast.
Co-op Milk Float (1954)
**Duties**
From 1954 until 1986, this battery-electric vehicle delivered milk for the Co-operative Society Ltd. This was also being used in the 1970s to deliver yoghurt, cream and fruit cordials.
**Drivers**
It was a slow but simple task to drive the milk float. It had an electric motor, powered by batteries. The batteries were charged each night at the front for the next day's milk round. The maximum speed at the float was 30 mph (48.3 km/h).
**Destinations**
This milk float delivered to homes in the Lower Newtownards Road and Connsbrook Avenue areas of East Belfast. It could travel up to 64 km (40 miles) before it needs to charge its batteries.
Belfast Telegraph Van (1952)
**Duties**
The Belfast Telegraph originally used a fleet of pony carts to deliver the evening papers around Belfast. Motor vans gradually replaced these carts. This large **Austin A125 Sheerline van** was chosen because it was fast, sturdy and reliable.
**Drivers**
Drivers Stewart Duffin and Jack Armstrong drove this van from Belfast to Londonderry along the Glenshane Pass. They enjoyed the long run more than the usual "stop-start" delivery journeys and would make to turn you whatever the weather.
**Destinations**
From the late 1940s, The Belfast Telegraph began to be dispatched beyond Belfast to the rest of Northern Ireland. This can be used on the Derry run, making one round trip six days a week. This meant that it travelled over 1000 miles each week, so maintenance was very important.
***It's unbelievable how massive the contribution of transport to our economy -past, present and future.***
This is the part 1 of transport at work. I hope you like seeing some of these early vehicles that is the start of a tremendous transformations in our transport history.

Early Cars at Ulster's Transport Museum (more)
My husband love cars, and every time there's a car show, anywhere, even out of the town we will surely be there. I know nothing about it but thanks to **Ulster Transport Museum** for showcasing this wonderful cars and its history.
Have a bit of nostalgia. Let's look into this amazing early cars.
MGB Roadster
**Year of manufacture: 1975**
**Maker: MG Car Company Ltd Abingdon, Oxford, part of the British Leyland Motor Corporation**
The MGB Sports car was one of the great motoring icons of the "swinging sixties". Owning a " B" or its rival, a Triumph TR - was definitely trendy.
The MGB had been launched in 1962, the latest in a line of a sports car first made by Morris Garages of Oxford in 1924. The Type III MGB Roadster, seen here, was a 1972 update. This particular car dates 1975, the last year of production of "original" MGB 2-seaters.
MGB sold in large numbers in both the UK and United States - nearly 400,000 were made - but in the end, it was the US market, where new safety regulations were imposed in 1975, which contributed to its demise. New bumpers, increased height and emission-control spoilt its look and its performance, and sales plummeted. The last MGB was made in 1980.
The MG name *"Morris Garages"* was invented in 1924 to distance the sports car for the company's sedate Morris Oxford range.
Amphicar
**Year of manufacture: 1967**
**Maker: Quandt Group, Lübeck, Germany**
Every decade or so someone has a great idea. What the world needs is an amphibious car or perhaps terrestrial boat. The Amphicar was the 1960s version.
Designed by Hans Trippel, who had worked on amphibious vehicles for military use in the 1940s, the Amphicar was built in Germany between 1961 and 1967. It turned out to be one of the most successful of its type, especially in America.
Over the six years, 2800 were made. Unfortunately for the Amphicar, American safety regulations were tightened up in 1967. Either the car's design had to be changed radically or it could no longer be sold in the USA. Neither was affordable, so production ended. This example was one of the last to be made. From 1968, it navigated the seas and rivers of Ireland, Scotland and England in a series of publicity trips and TV programmes.
Mercedes 230 SL
**Year of manufacture: 1964**
**Maker: Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart**
*"It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car high-performance, which despite its sports characteristics, provides a very high degree of travelling comfort."*
*-Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Prof Fritz Nallinger*
The Mercedes 230 SL was one of the first luxury GT cars in the world. It was launched at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show. The elegant styling caught the motoring world's attention, especially the slight dip in the top - the 'pagoda roof'.
Although there were several mechanical upgrades, the distinctive body shape was hardly changed during the car's right year production life. Mercedes originally assumed that most customers would prefer manual transmission. In fact, partly because the 230 SL became very popular in the United States, most of the 19,831 cars made were given a four-speed automatic gearbox.
Peugeot Bèbè
**Year of manufacture: 1914**
**Maker: SA des Automobiles et Cycles Peugeot**
True to its name, the Bèbè was a kind of supermini of its time. It was launched in France by Peugeot in 1904 and soon became popular in Britain.
The 1904 Bèbè had stolen the show at the Paris Motor Show. Tiny, cheap and practical, it was also technically advanced. The 1912 Bèbè, of which this is an example, was a proper two-seater with a small but powerful engine. The new Bèbè, designed by the famous Ettore Bugatti, could do 37 mph (60 kms per hour).
As well as being a practical small car, it was successful racer and hill-climber.
The Peugeot company started in the 1800s as a family ironmongery and, later, cycle manufacturers. Thanks partly to innovative, popular products like the Bèbè, the company survived to become one of the biggest car makers in Europe.
Rover SD1 Cutaway Display Model
**Year of Manufacture: 1976**
**Maker: Rover Motor Co. Ltd. Solihull, Birmingham**
SD1 was the Rover company'd 1971 code name for the new hatchback it was planning. The car was launched in 1976, and theeis cutaway display model was made by the factory to show the advanced features and space-saving design.
The first model to appear was called the Rover 3500. The SD1 name was never used as a brand name; all fifteen models in the range, which was made until 1986, we're given similar names, based on their engine size and type.
When launched, the motoring press welcomed the Rover 3500 as a very stylish car. It was voted International Car of the Year in 1977. It cruised smoothly at high speed, was spacious and comfortable, characteristics that made it potentially a good car for long-distance motoring.
Unfortunately there were problems with build quality and the interior soon looked worn out. The initial excitement gradually turned to disappointment. The car was also built for the American market, but was never popular there.
Hillman Imp
**Year of manufacture: 1967**
**Maker: Rootes Motors Ltd., Linwood, Glasgow**
The Hillman Imp was the Rootes Groups response the Mini. Like the Mini, its 1963 design was revolutionary, but it was a less successful car than its competitor.
To maximum luggage capacity and passenger spacee, the Imp designers put the boot at the front, with the sideways mounted engine at the back. In this position, unfortunately, the aluminum engines of early cars overheated, and Imps got a reputation for reliability.
In fact the design was clever and Imps, although small and cheap, had many other features that Minis never provided. In spite of the distinctive styling, a range of special models and improved reliability, only 400,000 Hillman Imps were made (compared with 4 million Minis) and production ended in 1976.
The Rootes Group had poured money into developing and making the Imp. The relative failure of the car, as well as industrial unrest, contributed to the collapse of the company and its takeover by Chrysler in 1976.
Morris Traveller
**Year of manufacture: 1970**
**Maker: British Leyland Motor Corporation**
The Morris Traveller combined up-to-date technology with a traditional appear ance. This may be what made it especially appealing to the public.
The Traveller was the 'estate car' version of the Morris Minor, a compact car with advanced economy, handling and performance designed by Alec Issigonis (who went on to design the Mini). It was introduced in 1953 and remained in production until 1971.
Inspired by 'shooting brakes', the wooden framed vehicles used transport gamekeepers and their guns, the back half of The Traveller was constructed with exposed timbers. It was a practical vehicle with space for 4 people and plenty of stuff - a perfect match for the optimistic, grow-your-own and DIY lifestyle of the 1950s and 60s.
Morris Cowley
**Year of manufacture: 1923**
The Morris Cowley was designed in 1915 as the British version of the American Ford Model T: a car for the people at the price they could afford. William Morris, the Cowley's inventor even used American engines in the first batch of his new cars.
This example is one of the second, 1919 models, which had a French copy of the original engine. It has the curved front which gave early Cowleys the popular name "bullnose Morris".
Sales of Cowleys didn't really take off until the 1920s, when an economic slump forced Morris to drop the price from £525 to £225. A new model with a flat radiator grille and steel body came out in 1926, while the Cowley - six of 1934 was a completely new, large car with a big engine. The Cowley name lived on, in a succession of Morris cars and vans, until 1958.
Belsize 10/12 hp
**Year of manufacture: 1911**
**Maker: Marshall & Co. Belize Works, Clayton, Manchester**
In the early years of motoring numerous small factories and workshops were making a huge variety of cars. Only a few firms very successful enough to become well-known brands. Marshall & Co., makers of this Belsize are a good example.
The car was one of many similar models available in the Edwardian times; the Belsize came complete with hood, windscreen, lamps and horn for £225.0s.0d (about £17,000 at 2009 prices).
The company produced cars into the 1920s, but they were expensive and rather unreliable. Unable to compete with the better designs and lower prices of cars being made by Ford, Austin and others, Marshall & Co., by now Belsize Motors Ltd., ceased trading in 1925. The Belsize was actively marketed in Ireland. This one was bought as a gift for a Wexford lady in 1911.
Austin
**Model: Seven (Top Hat Saloon)**
**Year of manufacture: 1929**
**Maker: Austin Motor Company, Limited, Birmingham**
The Austin 'Seven' was launched in 1922 and was an immediate successss. By 1929 annual production had risen to almost 27,000, a figure exceeded only in 1935.
In 1929 there was a very marked increase in demand for small economical cars such as the Austin Seven and Morris Minor after an increase of 12% in the price of petrol. Of the 37,000 new cars registered in the UK in the first quarter of 1929 no fewer than 30,500 were small economical saloons. The cost of an Austin Seven in 1929 was £140 and the colour scheme of black and maroon was standard for this model.
**Engine: 4-cylindeside-valveve**
**Capacity: 747 cc**
**Rated output: 8hp**
**Gearbox: three forward and reverse**
**Registration No.: VW 7393**
Volkswagen Beetle
**Year of manufacture: 1972**
**Maker: Volkswagen**
Iconic. A classic. VW Beetle, launched in 1933 and with 21,529,464 having been built around the world by 2003, is still the best-selling car design in the history of motoring.
The design was commissioned from Ferdinand Porsche as a "Volkswagen" (people's car). Mechanically, it was to be as simple as possible, with an air-cooled engine at the back, and space to carry two adults and three children in comfort. The name Beetle is a direct translation of the car's German nickname "käfee".
After 1945, Beetles were made in Germany for export, but their popularity led, first, to assembly in six other countries, and later to manufacture in Brazil and Mexico.
This example dates from 1972; it is one of the "super Beetles", with safety features and a larger engine, of the type that was made right up to the end of production - 1978 in Germany, but 2003 in Mexico. Despite 70 years of modifications, the last Beetle was still unmistakably a direct descendant of Porsche's original.
Austin Seven (Mini)
**Year of manufacture: 1960**
**Maker: BritishMotor Corporation (Austin Motor Co. Ltd.) Long ridge, Birmingham**
The Mini was one of the most influential cars ever made. Two models were launched in 1959; the name, which became part of the English language was almost an afterthought.
The Mini brand name was not introduced until 1961. The first cars were sold as Austin Sevens (like this one) and Morris Mini-Minors. Their revolutionary features - front wheel drive, sideways-mounted engine, clever use of space influenced car design for the next fifty years.
By 2004, four years after production ended, 1,581,887 Minis had been sold in Britain, while over 4 million cars, vans, Mini-Coopers, mokes and other versions had been made worldwide.
This car had three owners between 1960 and 1983. Eleen McKeown was the last; she liked it so much that she wrote " an ode to a Mini" about it, and spend £700 on repairs after it was involved in a crash. It had only done 28,000 miles when it retired to the museum in 1983, still in great condition.
Nobel 200
**Year of manufacture: 1960**
**Maker: Short Brothers & Harland Ltd., Newtownards, Co. Down. (on behalf of York Nobel Industries under licence from Electromaschinenbau Fulda, GmbH. of Germany.)**
The Nobel 200 is said to be the vehicle that inspired the name "bubble car". It was invented in post-war Germany, but this one was built in Newtownards, Co. Down.
The idea of a basic, economical, three-wheeled car with two seats and a very small engine, caught on particularly with drivers who liked the "cockpit" cabin - in the 1950s, when petrol was in short supply.
The original official name was Fuldamobil, after the town where the cars were first built by Electromaschinenbau Fulda GmbH. Although never mass-produced, the car was made under licence in many parts of the world between 1950 and 1969. Short Brothers & Harland Ltd of Newtownards built them for the British licence-holder, York Nobel Industries; the name Nobel 200 came from them.
As with other "bubble cars", the popularity of the Nobel 200 waned after the introduction of the BMC Mini in 1959.
***And this one is...***

Ballooning in Ulster
Intrepid balloonists were experimenting with flight in Ulster from the early 1800s. The first to fly a balloon in Belfast was Edmund Livingston on Monday 7 June 1824 from North Queen Street Barracks. The Belfast Newsletter reported that:
*"He boldly ascended the car, and the gas-filled balloon at nine minutes past eight o'clock rose majestically over the assembled crowd and slowly floated through the clear atmosphere towards the Cave Hill... Mr Livingston descended with safety in a field belonging to Mr Boomer at Sea View where the Marquess of Donegall rode over to greet him. They were both hoisted into the balloon basket and carried on the shoulders of the crowd back into town."*
Over 80 years later on 15th February 1910 John Dunville from Reburn House here in Holywood, County Down, flew from the Gasworks in Dublin to Macclesfield, Cheshire. This was only the third crossing from Ireland to Great Britain. John Dunville and his wife, Violet, made many balloon flights before and after the First World War.
Got Air Rises
Great ideas come from the simplest events. The Montgolfier Brothers got their inspiration from watching ash rise above a fire in 1783.
Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier and Joseph-Michel Montgolfier from France, are the famous inventors of the Montgolfiere-style hot air balloon. The first piloted ascent was launched carrying Jacques-Etienne. It was said that Joseph was first inspired by his dream of floating in the clouds. Then they began their human flights over Paris in 1783 which impressed the French King Louis XVI and Benjamin Franklin of America.
**The Ballon was made from paper and cotton and heated the air by burning straw.**
The first person in Ireland to fly in a balloon was an ***M. Rosseau*** on 15 April 1784. His flight starting and finishing in County Meath lasted for 90 minutes.
This one is interesting.
The first living creatures to fly in free flight were a sheep, a duck and a rooster in a Montgolfier balloon. The brothers were trying to find out if there was enough air to breathe as the balloon get higher.
The First People to Fly Used Balloons and Gliders
***In 1783 the Montgolfier used a hot air balloon to lift humans into the sky in free flight for the first time.***
***In the early 1900s, Colonel John and Mrs Violet Dunville from Holywood Co Down won many international balloon races together.***
*"Mad, balloon mad!"*
***This is how Horace Short described his two younger brothers after a rough balloon ride in 1898. At that time the Short Brothers in England had an international reputation for their balloons.***
George Cayley ***"the father of flight"*** was the first to work out how air flowing over the top of a curved wing creates the force of lift. This is what allows aircraft to fly Cayley drew a design of the first modern aircraft almost 100 years before the first powered aircraft flew. Without a powerful engine, however, his machines could only glide.
*"Sacrifices must be made"*
These were the words said by Otto Lilienthal shortly before his death after a fatal crash in his glider in 1896. He had made over 2500 glider flights and his discoveries inspired future pioneers.
I will discuss more of the first powered flight and aircraft on my next article.

The Early Cars
Here are some of the cars displayed at the Ulster Transport Museum. It's amazing to see them in front of you. How you imagined them on the roads in the past and how cars progress until the present day.
Ford Model T
**Year of manufacture: 1911**
**Maker: Ford Motor Company, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.**
The Model T is the car on which the Ford Empire was built. Over 15 million were made between 1908 and 1927, using an assembly-line system that reduced costs and made this "*the first affordable automobile*".
Nicknamed " Tin Lizzie", the Model T have ordinary people the chance of owning a car. Light but rugged, it's high ground clearance made it ideal for the dirt roads in rural America.
This example was imported from America for a wealthy Co. Donegal buyer. With extras, it cost £197.50.
Henry Ford, whose grandfather had emigrated to the USA from Cork, built his first car in a workshop behind his Detroit house in 1896. Seven years later he started the Ford Motor Company. Ford's innovations assembly line production, good design and marketing helped the company become an international giant of the motor industry. By 1921, Model T's were being built in Cork.
Ford Mondeo
This is one of the two cars that made the first-ever attempt, in the winter of 1993-1994 to drive eastwards over land all the way from London to New York.
The car is a works special Mondeo with a 2-litre fuel-injected engine, four-wheel drive, traction control and anti-lock brakes.
The Ford London-New York Overland Challenge took a team of eight and the two cars more than 25000 kilometres (15800 miles) across two continents.
The planned route went through Europe, Asia and Siberia, across the Bering Straits to Alaska and through Canada and the USA. The challenge was undertaken in winter when the sea of the Bering Straits is normally frozen and drivable, but 1994's weather was uncooperative. The ice was too thin so the team had to complete the crossing on foot and by air. However, the Mondeos took over again and made it to the finish in New York.
Sunbeam Grand Prix
**Year of manufacture:1924**
This Sunbeam Grand Prix is one of the most famous racing cars from the early years of motorsport. It won many classic races, with some of the greatest drivers of the 1920s.
This example dates from 1924, when the Sunbeam Motor Car Co., maker of high-quality vehicles, get involved in racing as a way of trying out new technology, and as a great way of publicizing their products. Its best-known driver was land speed record holder, **Sir Henry Seagrave**.
It won the 1924 Spanish Grand Prix with Seagrave and built a distinguished record over the next ten years, notably at the Brooklands circuit in Surrey. It 'retired' to Northern Ireland in 1934 but continued to compete in Irish road races.
Riley Kestrel Sprite
**Year of manufacture: 1936**
**Maker: Riley Car Company, Coventry**
The cars made by Riley in the 1930s were designed to appeal both to motoring enthusiasts and the style-conscious. The Kestrel Sprite was "meant for boys and girls who come out to play".
With such equality-minded advertising, sporty performance, and a £398 purchase price, the Kestrel Sprite was aimed at young and fairly wealthy customers. The car was the 'sport' version of the Kestrel saloon, with a more powerful Sprite engine and 'fastback' body.
Riley's comfortable, well-equipped cars. The Kestrel Sprite had several advanced features, including a sunroof, an opening windscreen, a remote-controlled anti-dazzle blind for the rear window, an easy-access spare wheel, and a fitted toolbox in the engine compartment.
This example has an English registration number. It was bought their directly from the Coventry factory by the Rev. R Stone of Killyleagh Co. down. He drove it until 1957 when it was taken over by his daughter, Mary, who used it every day until at least 1963.
Sunbeam 16/40 HP Tourer
**Year of manufacture:1922**
**Maker: The Sunbeam Motor Car Co. Ltd. Wolverhampton**
This is a car with a long history. Although it was bought new in 1922, the Sunbeam 16/40 was based on the 1912 design. It was owned by members of one County Antrim family for 64 years.
Except for the war years 1939 to 1945, it was in regular use until 1958. Sunbeam cars were known for their reliability! Even the paint was long-lasting: this car was bought in 'dreadnought grey' but you are seeing its 1930 repaint in sea green.
Sunbeam was an 1888 company. A maker of cycles motorbikes and later, cars and aircraft engines it had a reputation for quality and innovation. The company's great years with the 1920s, when the chief designer uses Sunbeam racing cars as a testbed for developing powerful engines for its range of production cars.
Lanchester Ten
Year of manufacture: 1952
Maker: The Lanchester Motor Co. Ltd., Coventry
The second half of the 1900s saw the rise of giant international car brands. But for a few years in the 1950s, it was still possible to buy a car with a name from the pioneer days of motoring.
In 1896, Lanchesters had been the first cars to be wholly designed and built-in Britain. Lanchester Motor Company was bought out by BSA, owners of the Daimler marque, in 1930, but the 1946 'Ten' seen here was still given the old name.
Daimler's idea was to appeal to customers who might put tradition and quality above technology or price. Indeed, the 1946 Lanchester Ten was craftsman-built, beautifully smooth-running and very expensive. Even in the 1950s, it had a reputation as "a car for old ladies".
What happened to Lanchester cars next shows hows today's big companies developed. Daimler was bought by Jaguar in 1960, Jaguar by Ford in 1999 and Ford by Tata Motors of India in 2008. However, Lanchester is still a registered Company ('active, non-trading').
DeLorean
**Year of manufacture: 1981**
**Maker: DeLorean Motor Company, Dunmurry, Belfast**
This iconic was built in 1981 at the De Lorean factory near Belfast, the product of highly-publicised , costly and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to create a specialist car manufacturing industry in Northern Ireland.
The car itself was developed by Colin Chapman (Lotus Cars Ltd.) and designed by Georgio Giugiaro. With it's stunning performance - top speed 135mph (217.2 kph), 0-60mph - and beautiful design, it seemed to be an excellent car.
The DeLorean is probably most famous for his appearances in the **Back to the Future** films. This example was one of the first of the assembly line. It was driven continuously for 50,000 miles by members of the Ulster Automobile Club for its US emissions certification test.
The factory was located in Northern Ireland after formal General Motors high flyer John DeLorean secured British government support. Good though the car looked, the windows leaked and the engines seized; but in the end it was let down by unrealistic sales projections. Despite further government cash, the factory closed in 1982.
And if you wonder how the Old Garage looks like, this is it!

Ulster's Early Motoring
**The Mechanical Beast**
The first motor car was invented in Germany over 100 years ago. During the 20th century, cars have brought about a transport revolution. They have brought great changes and improvements to our lives. These changes have not always been for the better. The challenge of the 21st century will be to use and enjoy cars in ways which do not damage our health and our environment.
*No other inanimate object has in our century inspired such a close and involve a relationship with its creator or triggered such an outpouring of love, hate and obsession...*
*...On the subject of the car, no one is neutral because it is arguably the most powerful instrument of social change that mankind has ever encountered.*
-Automania 1984
Who owned the first cars?
Before 1900s motoring was only for the rich. Royalty took an active interest in motoring.
Rich people who were used to be driven in their horse-drawn carriages preferred to be chauffeured in their cars. However, enthusiastic owners would drive the car themselves with the chauffer beside them. The chauffer was useful for dealing with punctures or breakdowns. These cars were very expensive and sometimes as costly as a house.
By the early 1900s cheaper, smaller cars imported from France and motoring became more popular. Someone who could afford a horse and trap could afford a car.
During the First World War (1914 to 1918) thousands of people were trained to be drivers and mechanics. They became the new car owners and drivers in the modern in the modern mechanism world of the 1920s.
*Lady Jocelyn often drives the car without any man with her and can change the wheels without any difficulty.*
The First Cars in Ireland
Early cars were known as horseless carriages. The first car in Ireland was acquired by Professor John Shaw Brown of Dunmurry, near Belfast, on 6 March 1896. It was a French Serpollet, powered by a small steam engine rather than a petrol engine.
The first petrol-engined car seen in Ireland was a **Benz Velo** exhibited at a school fete in Cork at Easter 1896. The headmaster of Cork Grammar School, the Revd. Ralph Harvey, borrowed it from a London dealer to help raise funds for the school. People queued for rides at a shilling a time.
"The car is the means of transport of the future and the novelty of our decade."
-Daily Herald
The first Irishman to run a petrol-engined car was Dr John Colohan of Blackrock, near Dublin. He wanted to buy a car as early as 1892, but not wishing to experience a 4 mph speed limitations of the old Highways Act, he waited until after Emancipation Day in November 1896 to invest in a 3 1/2 hp Benz Velo Comfortable. Now Dr Colohan could legally drive at 12 mph. His car is the earliest surviving Irish-owned automobile.
Driving and the Law
Until 1896 the speed of motorist was limited to 4 mph by the legal requirement to have a man walk in front of the car.
This law was abolished on '**Emancipation Day**,' Saturday 14th November 1896. The speed limit was now raised to 12 mph.
The Motor Act of 1903 required:
All mechanical-driven vehicles to be registered with the local authority and carry a registration number.
Every driver to have a driving licence although there was no driving test.
The Motor Car Act also raised the speed limit to 20 mph.

Ulster's Fire Fighting History https://read.cash/@tired_momma/ulsters-fire-fighting-history-ec41dc5a
Ulster's Fire Fighting History
A Fire Brigade was established in Belfast by the mid-eighteenth century, making it among the oldest and perhaps the earliest in the British Isles. Leather buckets and ladders for used for fire-fighting in Belfast as early as 1686. In the mid 17th century, George McCartney provided a piped water supply for his corn mills, and this was later to form the basis of a water supply for the town of Belfast. A pond was created in Fountain Street in 1733 as a source of water for extinguishing fires and in 1788 the town council had holes made in the arches covering the Farset River, which ran under High Street. Water could be drawn up through the holes by a squad of men who were paid 30 shillings a year and 5 shillings for each fire they fought.
In 1808, the management of the town fire service was given over the Belfast Insurance Company, on condition that a new fire engine be acquired. Although there is no evidence that this actually occurred, the Company remained responsible for the brigade until 1813, when this function was again resumed by the Police Committee. In 1816, the Belfast Newsletter reported that a fire in Church Street had not been controlled efficiently.
The town fire engine was, after some time brought to the spot but without any buckets and in such a shameful want of repair as to be totally inoperative, for after having been worked for two or three minutes one of the pipes burst and consequently the engine become useless.
In other areas, local parishes and councils had control of fire services. In 1833 the Royal Exchange Assurance company of London advertised that in Dublin it could offer.
Firemen powerful engines and other instruments in constant readiness in case of accident and maintained at a large expense for the security of the public. The men are distinguished by a uniform of light green with gold badge bearing the figure of the Royal Exchange the emblem of the company.
Belfast acquired its first 'Steamer' or steam-powered fire engine in 1877. Horse-drawn Steamers we're widely used until 1911. When the motor-driven pump was introduced, leading to a doubling of the speed at which engines reached fires. 'Steamers' continued in use until 1913, when the Brigade was the first in the British Isles to become completely motorised
Steam-Powered Fire Pump
Steam-powered fire pumps first appeared in the 1820s and as the century progressed they increase in power and efficiency. The pump could be pulled by one horse on level ground or by 2 horses if there were hills. The steam engine provided power only for pumping water.
This pump was purchased second hand by The York Street Flax Spinning Company Belfast and used at their Muckamore premises near Antrim. The production of linen thread generated huge quantities of dust so the risk of fire was very high.
This pump was previously the property of the Earl of Dartmouth and was used on his English estate near Wolverhampton. Many owners of large estates acquired fire pumps during the 19th century using estate workers to man them.
'Whippet' Motorised Fire Pump
This pump was purchased in 1932 by the Belfast Fire Brigade and saw active aervice throughout the city for over 30 years. In 1941, during the Second World War when Belfast was bombed from the area, this pump was fighting fires in York Street near the city's docks. It is said that a bomb landed close by and the pump was blown several yards back along the street. During the 1950s this pump was kept as a reserve appliance. It was common to give fire pumps names which suggested speed.
Hand-Operated Fire Pump
This hand operated fire pump was bought in the 1880s for use in Larne Co Antrim. As town grew in size during the second half of the 19th century the need to have the means to fight fires become more and more important. Many local fire brigadees were formed in the 19th century.
This pump which was still in use in the late 1920s was drawn by two horses. It was operated by volunteers under trained supervision. Some of the volunteers stood at either side of the appliance and worked the long wooden handles up and down the pump water to the hoses at the far, while others kept the pump supplied with water. The pump could throw about 455 litres (100 gallons) of water per minute to a height of 36.6 meters (120 feet).
The volunteers were paid with tokens that could be redeemed for money at the Fire Station or for goods in local shops.
Motor Fire Pump
The Dennis F8 fire engine was named the 'Ulster' because it was originally commissioned by the Northern Ireland Fire Authority which ordered 30 units between 1952 and 1954.
The body was specially designed to be only 198cm (78 in) wide so the appliance could get access into the narrow entrances and operate in confined spaces. It's Rolls Royce engine could pump 4500 litres (1000 gallons) of water per minute. The Ulster also carried a full range of rescue equipment and an auxiliary pump covered by a Coventry Climax engine to boost water supplies to its integral tank. The introduction of the F8 led to some standardization of fire engines in rural areas where their narrow bodies were especially useful in giving access to narrow farm lanes.
These appliances remained in service with the Northern Ireland Fire authority until the 1980s.
Fireman's Ladder
When ladders were used to aid fire-fighting they had to be pushed or carried through the streets by the firemen themselves. As fire engines developed they were designed to carry large ladders. When a ladder of this type was used it had to be taken off the fire engine, wheeled into place and held steady by the firemen. Two firemen climbed the ladder, one to effect the rescue and the other to guide his feet as he climbed down. The fireman wears the uniform of the Belfast Fire Brigade of the 1930s. This is the ladder from the 'Whippet' Fire Pump.
Land Rover Fire
During the 1950s Land Rover were adapted for use as fire appliancees. The Land Rovers 4-wheel drive was particularly suitable for use in rural areas over difficult terrain and on industrial sites. This example was built for the Northern Ireland Fire Authority in 1976. When it was withdrawn from service and donated to the museum 19 years later, it had covered a distance of 14 586 km (9065 miles). It is equipped to carry 455l (100 gallons) of water and 229m (750ft) of hose.
1967 Karrier Ambulance
This 1967 Karrier was the first ambulance in the world to be be fitted with a portable defibrillator. Professor Frank Pantridge produced the first portable defibrillator whilst working as a consultant physician and cardiologist in the Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast in 1965.
It was later adapted and installed in this refurbish Karrier Ambulance and first used on the streets of Belfast in 1 January 1966.
A plaque inside reads that the ambulance was presented to the Royal Victoria Hospital by the Irish Co-Operative Women's Guild in December 1967. Partridge's invention proves to save thousands of lives around the world and the defibrillator continues to be the most effective treatment for cardiac arrest.

Stuffing Balls for Christmas Dinner
We have to start cooking for there's only one oven to cook everything. So today, we decided to cook the ham and stuffing balls. I know that it's easier to buy a frozen one that you just stick into the oven but my Mum's stuffing ball is the best and also easy to make!
Then we can cook the roast beef and the Turkey tomorrow so everything will be ready on Christmas Day. So we can just focus on the kids and opening their presents if the food is all prepared just the spuds to boil and mash.
How to make a stuffing ball?
This one is **Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls**. There are different kinds of stuffing, like orange and herbs stuffing, sausage stuffing, forcemeat stuffing, bacon and orange stuffing, sausage and chestnut stuffing and many more. It's either you stuff it inside your turkey or any meat or have it separately and that's how we like it.
**What we need:**
2 big onion, chopped
Sage and Onion Stuffing Mix (170g)
Fresh white breadcrumbs (283g)
1/2 lb butter
salt
black pepper
**Instruction**:
Chopped the onions. Melt the butter in the frying pan. Fry the onion in butter until soft and cooked. Add salt. Let it cool.
Then mixed the Sage and Onion and the breadcrumbs separately in a big bowl.
Pour the onion in melted butter in the bowl and mixed together until evenly blended. Add salt and pepper.
Just roll it to make a ball using your hand. Then put it in the tray. We don't make it too small as you can see.
And stick it in the oven for an hour, turn it over after half an hour.
This is perfect with Turkey and our must at Christmas dinner.
You know I'm a Filipino, and this is not our normal Christmas food. We always have spaghetti and fried chicken. I still do! And while they're having mashed potato mine will always be with rice. Haha. Can't change my palate.
****Tips****
You know the oil from the ham, don't throw it. Use it for making gravy! The best tasting gravy ever!
How about you, are you ready for Christmas? Are you done wrapping presents?
The Beginning of Railways
Before railways, necessities such as turf or corn were carried short distances overland by people or pack animals. By 1750, canals were built to carry heavy goods such as coal from the mine to the factory and to distribute imports which were brought to the dock in sailing ships. People had to travel on foot or in stagecoaches. Railways made the movement of goods and passengers efficient.
Before steam engines arrived, the only form of power available for transport and industry were manpower, horsepower, wind power and water power. By 1750, steam engines using only coal as fuel had been developed. At first, they were used mainly to pump dangerous floodwaters from mines. By 1830, people found many uses for steam engines in industry and transport. The railways were one of these.
The railways like most inventions combined old ideas in a new way. The old ideas were the use of wheeled vehicles, the use of wagonways and the use of steam power. The use of steam power and the arrival of railways laid the foundation for the modern industrial world.
The World First Railways
**Stockton and Darlington** Railway opened on 27 September 1825 to carry coal to the port of Stockton-on-Tees. In the beginning, steam locomotives were used on only part of the line.
The **Liverpool and Manchester** Railway was the world's first modern railing. It was first to operate both passenger and goods services using steam locomotives. It was the first to have double track throughout and the first to operate passenger trains to a timetable.
***Within about 50 years of the opening of the Stockholm & Darlington in 1825, railways were operating on every continent.***
Railways Signals
Trains running on rails cannot pull out and overtake one another nor can they swerve to avoid a collision. To make sure only one train occupied a particular section or block of the track at anytime signalling systems were developed.
Early Signalling
At first, signalmen stood beside the track and gave by hand, flag signals by day and lamp signals by night. By the mid-19th century, simple mechanical signals had replaced hand signals on most lines, which were each manually operated by an attendant signalman displayed a bewildering assortment of flags, discs spheres, kites and semaphore arms.
Time Intervals
In the early days of railways trains using the same track were separated by intervals of time. When a train passed, the Signalman put his signal to 'Stop' for a specified period for example 3 minutes. After that, the signal was changed to 'All clear' and the following train allowed to proceed. Unfortunately, this system could not prevent the following train catching up with one in front and being unable to avoid crashing into the back of it.
Whistle Codes
Train drivers used the whistle to give a general warning to clear the track and announce the trains arrivals. There was also a whistle code so locomotive drivers could communicate with signalmen and other railway workers.
Electric Telegraph
The development of the electric telegraph in the early 1840s revolutionised the running of the railways. Information could now be sent along the wires between stations faster than the speed of light. For the first time stations could communicate instantaneously with each other. Although the Telegraph carried information on all aspects of the railway's operations its greatest impact was on controlling the movement of trains what became known as *"block signalling"*. The intervals of time between trains were changed to intervals of distance. No train was allowed to depart until a telegraph message was received that the preceding train had arrived and the line was clear.
How the Telegraph Works
Single needle Telegraph instrument to send a message to the next station. The Telegraph operator moved the handle beneath the shelf from side to side. These handle movements completed and broke the electrical circuit in a sequence which was reproduced by the receiving instrument. By using a variation of the Morse Alphabet with a needle movement to the left being the same as a dot and one to the right being the same as a dash messages could be sent and received. To the same line, lengthy routine messages were reduced to a single code word.
Railway Accident
The most serious accident on Irish railway took place on Wednesday 12th of June 1889 near Hamiltonsbawn Co. Armagh. An overloaded excursion train from Armagh to Warrenpoint was unable to climb a gradient.
The train was divided to allow the locomotive to take it over the hill in two runs.
Before this could be completed the rear carriages began to roll back down the gradient and crashed into the following train. Eighty people, many of them children were killed and four hundred injured.
It was at the time the worst railway accident in Britain and Ireland and led to new legislation. The Regulation of Railways Act of 1889, imposing new safety practices.
The accident led to the Regulation of Railways Act of 1889 which became law less than 3 months after the Armagh disaster.
Sales Kiosk Style
****Portrush Station****
Some companies were aware of the power of marketing. They developed a distinctive style, not only for the trains but for the whole railway scene including architecture. This sales kiosk is a perfect example.
The Belfast & Northern Countries Railway (BNCR) run trains from Belfast to the popular Antrim coast. By the 1890s there was so much holiday and excursion traffic that the company upgraded the line with new services and larger stations including Portrush.
Berkeley Dean Wise a brilliant civil engineer was the BNCR's chief engineer. He managed the whole renewal -new track, signalling, bridges and stations. His famous work is Portrush station for which he also designed this kiosk in the same style - a flamboyant mix of Swiss Cottage, Old English and Tudor half-timbering. As well as selling newspapers postcards and souvenirs. The kiosk was the ticket office for trams to the Giants Causeway. Indeed, the BNCR with Wise as designer developed tourist facilities at many places on the Antrim coast and Glens.

Rail Gallery at Ulster Transport Museum
Ulster Transport Museum is located at Bangor Road, Holywood BT18 OEU here in Northern Ireland. This museum is full of amazing stories about Ulster transport and social change since this modern era.
This time of the pandemic, The Ulster Museum has been awarded the "We're Good to Go" mark which certifies them that they adhere to Public Health and Government guidance. They carried out the Covid-19 risk assessment and the required protocols in place.
Some of their galleries are close and access to their trains and trams are restricted so you can't climb aboard for they can't be certain of the social distancing of visitors. Everyone would love to climb and experience aboard for sure.
You're also not allowed to touch objects to keep you and the object safe. Sanitizers are all over the place. And everyone must follow the one-way system.
Admission rates
For family, it will be cheaper if you will avail the family rates instead of the individual rate per head.
When you get inside you must present your ticket either on your phone or the printed copy to the reception to scan or he will just ask your surname and checked it. They don't accept walk-in now and everything must be booked online so they can limit the number of visitors.
When you get inside you will already see these magnificent trains down below.
It's a good start! What an impressive sighting. It was my first time to see Ulster train. And thinking these majestic trains have once complimented the railroad, is such a privilege for me.
And as you walk in the walkway you'll pass many brass plates which I say would be a nice decoration in the house or the garage.
At the middle of the gallery, "The Polar Express" is screening this Christmas time. So you can sit and watch when you get tired of walking about.
Railways Change the World
Railways change the world. For the first time in history, it was possible to travel faster and further than a galloping horse. Trackways with wooden rails had been used in mines since around 1500. During the 18th century, many mine owners in Britain built a man or horse-powered railways to carry their coal to the nearest port. Quite an extensive system of these railways grew up n mining areas. It was, however, the invention in 1804 of the first successful steam locomotive that made possible the development of the modern railway system.
**Steam Pioneers**
These are the men who made it possible. Thanks to their pioneering work.
Thomas Newcomen (1663-1729)
In 1698, Thomas Newcomen invented an atmospheric steam engine which was the first practical working stationary steam engine which was set in pump water out of mines.
James Watt (1736-1819)
Watt improved Newcomen's steam engine. His improvements included the use of gears so that the engine could be used to drive machinery in mills and factories, this creating the Industrial Revolution.
Richard Trevithick (1771-1833)
Trevithick invented a high-pressure steam engine powerful enough to propel itself - the steam locomotive was born.
George Stephenson (1781-1848)
He is often called the **"Father of the Railways"** because of his great pioneering work. He not only built many of the early railway lines but also along with his son Robert, made great improvements in the design of the steam engine.
**Let's explore the Transport Gallery! This is only at the Rail's display.**
Travel before the Railways
By 1800 Ireland had a number of stagecoach services operating between the main towns. The fares were beyond what most people could afford and large areas of the country were not covered. This gap in the market was filled by an Italian, Charles Bianconi, who began a national passenger network centred on Clonmel County Tipperary in 1815, using long cars.
By 1843 his fleet of about 100 long cars was travelling nearly 4000 miles a day, serving 149 stations, Bianconi developed a series of cars, starting with the common jaunting-car and increasing in size to the "Finn McCoul" a four-wheeled long car, pulled by four horses, which could carry up to 20 passengers. While Bianconi's long cars or Bians were known for their discomfort, many people enjoyed the social element of travelling in a group.
This is only my introduction to Ulster Rail Transport. It will be too much to put everything in one article. You'll be overwhelmed. I will share more information in my next article.
Have you ridden a train before?
I did once and haven't ride since then. In the Philippines, we have PNR (Philippines National Railways) but the journey wasn't convenient as it is always full impossible for me to get out without asking other passengers to help push me out. And you'll be sweating and will be standing skin to skin with whom around you. I would love to ride the train just like the one in the movie "The Tourist" starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie!

Castor Oil Uses and Benefits
I'm experiencing extreme hair fall. Every time I brush my hair, I got a handful of hairs and it worries me. I had this before and I went to my doctor and got my blood checked and didn't see anything wrong. He just advised me to change my shampoo to a baby shampoo. I used Pantene before.
As advised I used baby shampoo. But still falling hair everywhere. It gradually stops falling don't know how.
Now, it's starting up again but this time it's getting worst. And I'm not happy about my head getting baldy on top. I only noticed it when I saw the picture my husband took and saw my head in that state.
I looked up the internet for something I can do or use to help me thicken up my hair specifically that area. That's when I read about Castor Oil and ordered it right away in eBay for a fiver.
Castor oil is generally used on the hair and scalp to fight dandruff and nourish our hair roots. And you can achieve your desired hair growth and thickness if you use it regularly. Hope so.
Where does Castor Oil Come From?
Castor oil is from the seed of the castor plant also known as *Ricinus communis*. It is yellow in colour and has no apparent smell. We get castor oil by simply crushing and pressing the castor seeds.
**What’s In Castor Oil?**
Castor oil promotes hair growth thanks to its rich amount of ricinoleic acid which has an amazing natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Along the side of that, it is also rich in omega 9 acids which alone has hydration power, increases hair brightness and repair hair damages.
Castor oil is so thick so it can enter deep into our hair follicles and gave us our desired result for hair growth.
**How to apply castor oil?**
You can apply castor oil by using the tip of your hands and massaging the oil in your scalp. I use a brush or comb to make sure I apply it evenly. The hair should be all moist and doesn't need to be soaking. Then you can put a shower cap and leave it overnight.
This is also good for growing your eyelashes. If you want longer, thicker full lashes then try to use castor oil. I bought this eyelash brush to try as well.
Uses and Benefits
****Castor Oil for Hair Growth****
Castor oil is so amazing that it can boost our scalp circulation to stimulate hair growth. When we apply castor oil to our scalp and it oxygenated the blood flow will begin then the nutrients will stimulate the hair growth. Fantastic! I'll be looking forward to this.
Benefits for hair:
**Strengthening the hair, creating thicker strands of hair**
**Supplying essential fatty acids for healthy hair**
**Providing Vitamin E**
**Treating dry hair and split ends**
**Helps to Combat Dandruff**
****Castor Oil treats skin infections****
Because of its natural anti-fungal, anti-microbial properties, castor oil is a great treatment for akin problems like psoriasis as well as a fungal infection.
Castor oil benefits for the skin:
**Moisturizes the skin**
**If can help to reduce wrinkles if used regularly**
**Reduces inflammation**
**Helps itchy skin**
**Fights off harmful pathogens**
**Provides vitamin E**
****Castor Oil is an effective laxative****
Castor oil is most commonly used as a laxative and can alleviate constipation. It helps the stool to come out by increasing the movement of the intestines.
****Castor Oil gets rid of intestinal worms****
Do you want to get rid of tapeworms? Then you have to mix castor oil with warm milk and take it three times a day. You'll be disposing of those tapeworms in time.
****Castor Oil gets rid of stomachaches****
I find this something to try on as sometimes I am full of wind and it's hard to get rid of it causing me pain. We just have to massage the oil in our belly button and abdominal area.
Other uses:
*Castor Oil cures vaginal and urinary tract infections*
*Castor Oil provides relief for menstrual cramps*
*Helps with irregular menstruation ovarian cysts*
*Castor Oil Reduces swollen lymph nodes*
*Castor oil cures sleeplessness and insomnia*
*Castor Oil Reduces haemorrhoids*
*Castor Oil relieves gallbladder pain*
*Castor Oil relieves aching feet*
*Castor Oil increases white blood cell count. This helps the immune system.*
*Castor Oil Heals Cysts*
As you can see there are so many uses and amazing benefits of using castor oil. But for now, I want to try it to deal with my hair loss and if it can help me with my patchy hair.
I will post an update once I get a visible result. If you experience this before, please share to me what else I can do. And how can I stop my hair falling?
Thank you so much.
When you see Bitcoin price now and remembered that you all trade yours for another cryptos which is at loss is truly heartbreaking.
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Hahaha.. This song fits perfectly!
Jingle Bells by Tia
Do you want some good vibes? Let me share this virtual carolling of my daughter. I didn't ask her to sing. She asks me to take a video of her singing lol. I do not even know that she knows that song. That's the first time I heard her sing Jingle Bells.
My baby is a star! Forget about the lyrics just enjoy her performance!
