Then you can go in medical line.that may be pharmacy or you should appear entrance exam such as AIIMS and AIPMT. If you want only maths then you can choose Maths as honors and study BSc. But better to go on medical line.You will get a better scope.So go for it.Entrance will be very hard and had become national level and no state level are conducted these days.

Hello friend,
See there are many fields after 12th for bio like:
After 12th for maths you can choose fields like :
3.B.E. in Biology
Hello Lavanya,
I think best you can go for is biotechnology. Biotechnology is a field that is a combination of biology and statistical methodologies and others. It is a highly booming subject in
job domain also. So you will be able to have the best of possible subject combinations in it. One of the best colleges in this domain is St.Xavier's College. Possibly in the Kolkata (www.sxccal.edu)branch of this college there is M.Sc. in this corresponding subject also. After this I would like you to consider a PhD. too. That way you can apply for Grade-A or B or C scientists. If you check the web page called http://recruitment.nielit.in. Here you will see that people from different science domains can go for Grade-A/B/C scientist examinations. If you clear the examination your career will take the highest possible turning point. All the Best.
Hello lavanya,
As you are doing +2 with Maths and Bio both and interested in doing the best course after +2, then MBBS is the best course
which you can pursue.
But before I tell you about MBBS competition, you must understand that the competition has increased a lot in every field
and the best thing you can do is to chose the subject based on your interest. If the subject will be of your interest then
you can put more effort and prepare well for any competition related to that field.
Following are the career stream related to Maths:
- Engineering: Engineering is considered to be the easiest professional stream these days because of the good number of
engineering colleges. But as you said, you want to have the best career, then you must fight to get admission in IIT
colleges and NIT colleges, for which you must secure a rank of below 10 thousand in AIEEE.
- Graduation and Teaching professsion: You can also get admission in BSc with maths/Physics/Chemistry and after
completing Masters, you can apply for Lecturership or for teaching post in various colleges/ universities.
- Banks/PSU Companies: In any PSU companies, now a days, questions are asked from a common pattern and Maths is an
important part of these patterns. So if you have a background of Maths, then it'll be easy for you to
compete for these exams and get success.
Following are the career stream related to Biology:
- Medical: You need to prepare for MBBS entrance exam like AIPMT, State level medical entrance exam. Competetion is very
tough as there are very few medical colleges in India. And fees in private colleges are so high(upto 20-25lac for the
course) that it is not easy for every candidate to get admission in private clleges.
- Pharmacy: You can also apply for admission in BPharma and good number of opportunities come for BPharma
candidates in Govt Hospitals or the private hospitals.
- BioTech/BioScience: With the development in research for medicine , good number of opportunities have been created in
the area of biotech/bioScience.
So overall there is good carrer in various fields, and it all depends on your interest the path you chose.
I am maths student what will i do???
Hi friend,
See as you have done Bio as well as maths, You can go for two sides : either Engineering or Medical field.
If you are good in Bio, You should go for medical field.
And if you are good in maths, you should choose the Engineering.
See it in you. You'll get a good field.
Best of luck..!!!

Dead Best: 7 Smoking Versions of "Shakedown Street"
Debut: August 31, 1978
Total Times Played: 160+
Last Time Played: July 9, 1995
Songwriter(s): Garcia & Hunter
The big bomb-drop opening of "Shakedown Street" hits with the power of a lightning strike – shooting jolts of white-hot electricity through the crowd. You could literally feel it in your bones – a full-body experience if ever there was one.
When The Dead opened the 2nd set with "Shakedown," you knew things were about to get a little wilder and stranger. Hold on tight! Performances could take 20 minutes to fully unwind, producing some of the band's nastiest, funkiest jams on record.
A Garcia-Hunter collaboration about the causes of inner-city urban decay (e.g., drugs), "Shakedown Street" represents the "disco" Dead at their very finest. Here are some of the band's hottest performances.
September 16, 1978
Gizah Sound & Light Theatre, Cairo, Egypt
Super-clean, jazzed-up version for the pharaohs. Although it may not go as deep into the groove as many of the top performances, it is without doubt, as unique as it is flawless. Like many song performances from the Egypt run, this version is slo-mo and it gets good and gooey during the jams. The show – complete with a lunar eclipse – was performed just two weeks after the "Shakedown" debut on August 31, 1978, at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO.
October 25, 1979
New Haven Coliseum, New Haven, CT
BOOOOM! Welcome to FUNK HEAVEN!! There's nothing quite like the bomb-drop opening of "Shakedown," and this version is a stellar example of that explosive entry. This is a must-hear barnburner from New Haven – a top-5 all-time performance for sure. The band slides right into the slot with Phil dropping bombs all over the damn place. Jerry's voice is clean and crisp, and the backup vocals are particularly well sung (which wasn't always the case).
November 29, 1980
Alligator Alley Gym, Gainsville, FL
MUST-HEAR VERSION!! Funky goodness for the Gators!! The band cooks all the way through, and Jerry's vocals have a little something extra. You won't hear a hotter, more inspired round-robin segment (6:00) – featuring a rotation of Jerry, Bobby and Brent singing "you just gotta poke around." Once again, the call-and-response exchanges between Jerry and Brent amount to improvisational genius.
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA
EPIC 2nd set opener!! One of the greatest "Shakedown" performances of all time with the legendary chemistry and interplay between Jerry and Brent on full display. They are over-the-rainbow good. If you're a true-blue Mydland fan, you'll love this. Maybe the dark is from your eyes…
August 3, 1982
Starlight Theatre, Kansas City, MO
OFF THE CHAIN!! This version is seriously underrated – listen and believe. The Philly "Shakedown" (above) performed in April (of the same year) steals some of the thunder, but this one definitely deserves more credit than it gets. The band is firing on all cylinders, and the exchanges between Brent and Jerry take the jam to another level. More mind-melting moments brought to you by The Grateful Dead. Listen here (archived track 12).
December 31, 1984
San Francisco Civic Center, San Francisco, CA
MONSTER FUNK, on New Year's Eve no less! Here we have a 17-minute SHOW-OPENER packed with X-factor. The band gets deep down in a funked-up groove, and it's off to the races. This one was released on So Many Roads (1965-1995) so you know it's gotta be good. Maybe you had too much too fast…
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD
WOWWW! The only way this version isn't in your top-10 (or even top-5), is if you haven't heard it yet. Jerry gets his funk on and goes balls out. Tasty, tasty jams with a massive buildup. By the close, the Post Pavilion is in flames.

Bikers are being given the chance to showcase their love for motorcycles by sharing their favourite images in a competition for which a shortlist is to be drawn up by Superbike stars Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam. The winners will then be chosen in a public vote.
Leading motorcycle insurance broker Carole Nash is calling on bikers to share their best photos of them enjoying their bikes for its MotoFoto competition to be in with a chance of winning £1000 as well as having their photography featured in Carole Nash's 2019 calendar.
The judges will draw up a shortlist of 50 images before a nationwide online vote takes place asking the public to choose their favourite bike shot.
The top 12 most popular biking images will feature in Carole Nash's calendar, which is now in its eighteenth year, with a Shoei NXR Recounter helmet, and a Premier experience day at Ron Haslam's Race School also up for grabs.
Rebecca Donohue, head of marketing at Carole Nash, said: "Our first calendar was printed in 2002 and has become a bit of a collector's item for the biking community, so we wanted to give something back to them by asking them to show us how much they love their motorcycles to be in with a chance of having their images featured.
"In previous years more than 2000 entries were submitted to the MotoFoto competition and the judges had a tough job selecting the winners. This year we want to see bikers sharing their favourite shots of them out enjoying their bikes and ask people across the country to select their winning images with the help of Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam.
"We can't wait to see the photos are thoroughly looking forward to the voting process and crowning our winners."
Entries to the MotoFoto competition can be submitted via the website until 30 September after which the 50 shortlisted images will be selected. The public vote is open from 3 October with voters asked to select their favourite image by visiting Carole Nash social pages.
Voting closes at midnight on14 October and the Top 12 to be unveiled shortly after this date.

These are the worst hosting companies, to tell you the truth. Long story short, the support is useless, the site will go down at least once a month, your site will get blacklisted and your business/blog or whatever you are hosting will take serious damage because of the incompetence. I suggest InMotion.
Shared Hosting – Which One to Choose?
I've been with ManageWP for almost 2 years now (as a part of the Customer Happiness team) and one of many (I mean countless!) benefits I gained so far is the opportunity to check and test a lot of different hosting providers from all around the globe. There is an almost infinite number of choices you have when you are about to pick the right hosting provider for your WordPress website. I hope that this article will help at least one person with his/her decision!
All in all, I ran the majority of tests in a shared environment (which is mostly used) and in my opinion, these are the ones everybody should consider for their WordPress website:
- A2 Hosting – definitely on top of my list! SSD in their machines really gives your sites some pretty serious speed boost!
- Hostgator – never have I had any problems with sites hosted by them. One of the very best hosting providers out there!
- Bluehost – one of the most popular hosting providers in the world!
- GoDaddy – quite decent and not expensive. I hosted my own personal website there for a while.
Which ones would you recommend?
3 Comments on "Shared Hosting – Which One to Choose?"
Thanks for commenting, Leo. And sorry to hear that 🙁 I've had nothing but good experience with the aforementioned hosting companies and I've also had a chance to meet (in person or via email/chat/skype) people from high up and I can say they are devoted to their business.
It could be that I got lucky and had such a great experience with them but there are so many people using their services and I doubt that they would reach that position if they didn't do at least something well. However, nothing can work perfectly for everybody, that's a fact. I wish you had the same experience with them as I did.
InMotion is good, I've tested their services but from my point of view, the ones I listed proved to be better.
Maybe it's just luck 🙂 Have you also tried Siteground and Arvixe maybe?

How to Grow Your YouTube Channel From 0
If you're making videos for YouTube, it makes sense that you want more people to see your videos, improve YouTube video SEO and that you want more people to keep coming back to your channel to watch even more of your YouTube videos, right?
In this article, you will read about critical elements that you need to keep in mind for growing your channel and making the proper YouTube channel optimization.
One. It's important that you get very familiar with your audience retention reports inside of your YouTube analytics. Why is this important, you might ask? Because on YouTube, watch time is a key.
The better your retention, the harder the videos are going to work on your behalf. Plus, the longer that new viewers watch your videos, the more likely they are to subscribe to your channel which is extremely important if you're trying to grow your Youtube channel and for making youtube channel optimization. The longer the people watch, the more likely they are to take other forms of engagement on your channel.
Comments, likes, a subscriber, adding to a playlist, sharing your videos, can also help your channel grow because it's pulling more people into your content in addition to the positive signals that you're sending into YouTube.
Beat Your Competitors With These YouTube Channel Optimization Tips
The second critical thing is that you look at the platform itself with all the different options that it has, and you take advantage of all of those options to build yourself a rock solid watch time trap.
What watch time trap mean? A watch time trap, in a nutshell, is where you create all of your content based around playlists, based about other videos so that you can constantly be sending people to more and more of your content since you are tapping into their interests.
They are more likely to watch more and more of your videos because you're verbally referring to them to watch other videos with your content.
Moreover, you can have things popping up on the screen to draw your audience attention where they can go watch more of your stuff.
You've got pinned comments, links to other playlists in your descriptions. You've got series playlists put together so that YouTube is recommending your content next to each other. When somebody watches one video, you creating other opportunities for them to watch and consume more of your content which increases your chances of engagement for them being a subscriber, watching more of your content, and so on.
Another more critical element is learning how to rank your videos in the search and by that improving your YouTube video SEO.
Search is a significant traffic source, and if you are not tapping into it, then you missing out additional traffic that you can get from search.
Next up is production quality. The audiences have expectations. You have to make sure that your video quality is high. You must have decent lighting in your videos. You don't have to buy stuff. You can use the sun if you need to. Your audio sounds decent, which is also extremely important and adds a lot to the production quality.
These days, making a video in a dark room with bad audio, it's just not going to cut it. You have to level up your game. Go outside if you have to. Make your videos there.
Let's sum it up – If you want to become the next big thing on YouTube, it could take some time and tons of efforts to get there. Therefore, your YouTube channel optimization strategy must embrace Google rules and follow the steps mentioned above.

Nine hundred claimed, 'No' and only three hundred signed up. Out of those people three hundred, only 85 did nearly anything at all. Out of those people 85 only 35 have been major, and out of those people 35, 11 designed me a millionaire."
The major dollars earner in Mannatech, Jeff signed up 27 men and women his preliminary month. Just one could possibly imagine that he is unusually proficient at sponsoring. Essentially, Jeff will be the 1st to explain to you that he has no unique techniques. In point, he thinks that he did fairly improperly. To recruit those people 27, Jeff approached 2,000 men and women that 1st month. And of those people, the only 1 who did nearly anything significant with the enterprise was Ray Gebauer, who has extra than 50 percent of Mannatech in his downline. Hear to Jeff's assistance on this: The quantities hardly ever lie. Select your objective and then get into significant action. If you talk to more than enough men and women, you will make it!
But here's the capture: You have your possess established of odds – and they are going to keep on being a thriller to you until finally Immediately after you achieve your objective.
So if you've absent via 50 or one hundred men and women and you have not observed 1 major man or woman nonetheless, you can both give up on your desires and presume the enterprise does not do the job, or figure out that you are doing work via your possess established of odds.
Of training course you can enhance your quantities via instruction and practice. But you are unable to change human character! The truth is that a large amount of men and women will be part of your enterprise with extraordinary intentions and seemingly unrestricted enthusiasm! But a significant quantity of them won't make a deep dedication to developing a enterprise.
If you might be delicate to this truth and are inclined to come across the handful of who will adhere to via, then you've got what it takes to attain your plans, regardless of how superior they are!
What do you have to have to do? It is really simple: be good about the community internet marketing quantities game!
The most effective way to do that is to use some confirmed resources and approaches.
If you know you have to have to talk to a large amount of prospective clients, wouldn't you be much better off obtaining ones who are pre-certified. In other words and phrases,men and women who know and understand a little something about community internet marketing, are committed to this sort of enterprise, and are browsing for a extra efficient system.
If you want to talk to individuals who want to talk to, get extra details from the posting at SurgeToSuccess.com.
Believe that me, it truly is a significantly much better way to go about participating in the community internet marketing quantities game!

"Welcome to my regime," was the first thing he said to me; the man who claimed to own me. Claimed me as his slave. "You will fight to live, or you will die," was the next thing he told me.
"Where am I?" I asked. Although I assumed he wouldn't tell me. A bit of a stupid question.
The regime leader, who towered over me as I gazed at him while on my knees, hands bound behind my back by thick, scratching rope, smiled. He smiled with his eyes, anyway. Most of his face was covered with a white handkerchief. Blood was speckled across it, although I assumed it wasn't his, but the blood of some poor victim whose throat he slashed.
"Such things shouldn't worry a young man," he answered softly. He slid a large hunting knife from a sheath in his belt and pressed the tip just below my temple. With a flick of his wrist the blade slid down my cheek, releasing a slow drip of blood that ran down and dripped off my chin. The regime leader did the same to my other cheek and then put his boot on my chest. "Good luck." He shoved me backward and I smashed my head on the ground. The sky spun above me, and another man approached, raised an AK47 into the air over my face, and everything went dark.
I awoke what I assumed was hours later, chained to a massive tree. Its giant roots rose out of the ground, and then pierced down into the earth. I guessed the trunk was about fifteen feet in diameter, and loomed above me like a cathedral tower. The chain was attached to both of my ankles, and the other end to a large iron ring wrapped around a large root. I was surprised they would keep me in an open area chained to a tree. My mind churned to figure out ideas to cut through the root and get my freedom.
"Glad to see you're finally up," a voice said. I turned around to see a man, probably in his mid-thirties, sitting against the tree. "I know what you're thinking. I thought the same thing. 'So they have me chained to a tree. There are worse things to try and escape from.' Don't try it, kid. They have more guards around here than you can count. There is no escape."
"Who are you?" I asked. I squinted to see him better as the sun descended, casting a shadow across the ground.
"Doesn't matter. I'm fighting next. I'm too old to fight."
"How long have you been here?"
"Long enough. It's my time. And soon enough it will be yours."
I sat down and leaned against the tree. "I wouldn't mind so much if someone would tell me where I am. And how I got here."
"Where are you from?" the man asked.
"Does it matter?"
"No. They like bringing you in when you're young. Eighteen or nineteen. They've got a lot of fight in them at that age. Concerned about how they have their whole lives ahead of them and what not."
"I don't see how I'd be a good candidate for fighting. I'm not very big."
"You're big enough. I don't know how, but when you were in the beginning stages of waking up just now you were thrashing pretty good. I thought for a second you might rip that ring right through that root. Not that it would do you much good. You get off that chain without permission, you die."
I looked at the root I was chained to. "What's the fighting like?" I asked.
The man hesitated. I heard him take a deep breath and exhale slowly. "Hell."
A masked man with an assault rifle and a flashlight approached. He glared at the man, and then looked at me. "Here," he grunted. He tossed a cigarette at me, and another at the man.
"I don't smoke," I said.
"You'd better start," the armed man said irritably. He lit a match and held it in front of my face. With a trembling hand I put the cigarette in my mouth and took a deep drag. As the smoke entered my lungs I erupted in gagging, choking coughs. The armed man roared with laughter, lit the other slave's cigarette, and walked away.
"Why do they make us smoke?" I asked.
The man took a long drag from his cigarette. "Calms the nerves," he answered. Smoke poured from his mouth with each word he spoke.
"Where are you from?" I asked.
"I thought it didn't matter?" the man replied.
"Well can I at least know you're name?"
"Louis. You?"
"Well, Marcus, you inquisitive fellow, allow me to be the first to welcome you to Hell. God isn't coming to save you."
"I didn't expect he would," I replied.
"Not the religious type, eh?"
"Religion was created to bring society into dullness and give them a sense of false-security. To blind them from the truth and make them conform to the ways that keep the higher ups in power. When modern medicine cures someone, the people believe their prayers healed their loved one. People are expected to fear God, when God shows no proof of existence. Evolution shows existence. Science shows existence. Where is this God?"
The man chuckled. "Believe me, boy; the second you walk into that arena, God will be staring you in the face."
I took a small puff of the cigarette, this time choking less. But it still burned my lungs.
"What kind of fighting is it?" I asked.
"Whatever you find, you can use. There are no rules. But the better show you put on, the more they like you around here."
"That guard didn't seem to like you very much. Do you put on bad shows?"
"I kill 'em quick," Louis replied. "Not much blood."
"So, we're gladiators?"
"You could look at it that way, I guess. Kind of makes this situation seem a little less shitty, doesn't it? Modern-day gladiators. Fighting bloody battles to please those in power. Sounds a bit like your definition of religion, doesn't it?"
"Too much so, I would say. I have to say, you don't seem like the killing type."
"Not many do. Aside from your stereotypical criminals. I never killed until I was brought here."
"I really don't want to kill anybody," I said.
"You'll get over that quickly. It's kill or be killed. Once that sinks in, you become someone completely different."
I finished my cigarette and flung it away. The cherry-red ember glowed for a moment, and slowly dimmed until it blended in with the surrounding darkness.
"When do you go to fight?" I asked.
"As soon as they come get me. Could be in ten minutes. Could be tomorrow afternoon."
"Could be right now," another voice said. The guard who brought them the cigarettes approached. He unlocked the shackles attached to Louis's ankles, and then unshackled me.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"You're going to fight Louis," the guard snapped. "Let's hope you're stronger than you are smart."
Louis laughed. "I didn't have the heart to tell him."
The guard grabbed Louis's shoulder and shoved him forward down a dirt path. He then grabbed me by the back of the neck and shoved me forward to follow Louis.
And to think, I was starting to like him; and now I had to try and kill him.

Here is a very simple but fun activity to do with your child that might bring back a few memories too for you! Here's How to Make a Fortune Teller out of Paper:
Sign up for our free monthly newsletter stuffed full of ideas, competitions and offers. PS Did we mention it's free?
I remember making these at school with my friends and coming up with all sorts of weird and wonderful fortunes to write on the inside!
How to Make a Fortune Teller Out of Paper
You Will Need
- Paper
- Scissors
- Pens
1. Take a sheet of paper. If you don't have square paper, then fold the bottom left hand corner up to the right hand side and crease along the fold.
2. Cut along where you folded to make a triangle that folds back out into a square.
3. Fold each corner in to meet in the middle. It will look a bit like an envelope.
4. Flip the square over. Fold each corner in to meet in the middle.
5. Take a pen and write the numbers 1-8 on each triangle.
6. Open up the inside flaps and write a fortune on each triangle inside. Be as creative and funny as you can be! (e.g. You will marry a prince with 2 heads)
7. Turn over the fortune teller one more time and either colour the 4 squares different colours or write the colour names (in their colour) e.g. Blue, Red, Green etc.
8. Insert one thumb and finger behind two of the square flaps and gently push the fortune teller out, insert the other thumb and finger behind the other two squares until your points meet in the middle and it opens and closes a bit like a frog's mouth.
Now you're ready to tell fortunes!
9. Ask the other person to choose a colour. Count out the letters of their chosen colour as you open and close the fortune teller alternative ways.
10. Ask them to pick one of the numbers that shows. Count out as you open and close the fortune teller alternately again.
11. Ask them to pick a final number. Peek behind that flap and tell them their fortune!
Inspired by the book Up, Up and A Play, written by blogger and mum Mary Rose Keane.

Shoving has broken out in Parliament over the center-left government's proposal to extend citizenship to the children of migrants born on Italian soil.
All over, parties and politicians are shifting to a tougher stance.
After the first round of voting on June 11 delivered a setback to the surging anti-establishment Five Star Movement, it adopted a notably harder line on immigration. One of its highest-profile politicians, Rome's embattled mayor, Virginia Raggi, called for a moratorium on new immigrants.
Champions of a more welcoming approach to immigrants have not fared well.
In Lampedusa, the Sicilian island that became the emblem of Italy's immigration issue after years of inundation by desperate migrants, the Democratic Party mayor had become an international symbol of Italy's open arms. She failed even to make it to Sunday's runoff.
Here in Como, Sunday's election could well be determined by the debate over what to do with the hundreds of African migrants hoping to go north to Switzerland or Northern Europe for jobs.
As seaplanes glided to dock and women in sun hats sipped aperitifs, scores of African migrants gathered, looking at the verdant mountains standing guard between the placid lake and Switzerland.
"I can't go anywhere," said Fofana Abdoulaye, a 31-year-old migrant from the Ivory Coast, as he stood in the shadow of the city's landmark Volta Temple.
While he and other migrants spoke of their appreciation of Italy's humanitarian efforts to save them from the Mediterranean Sea, they also expressed exhaustion with the country's intricate web of permits and papers and European agreements that required them to stay in the country that first documented them.
But locals, too, were exasperated.
"It's a horrible calling card for the city," Enrica Tattamanti, 65, said as she watched her granddaughter, Benedetta, play next to Lake Como.
She worried that funds redirected to migrants deprived the town's handicapped citizens of services and complained that any protest prompted accusations of racism. "I hope the center right wins," she said.
Its candidate, Mr. Landriscina, argues for closing migrant reception centers and removing the migrants who he argued did not want to be here to begin with, to relieve mounting tension between Como's locals and immigrants who he said made no effort to integrate.
"It's a problem where the conflict — a little bit ethnic, a little bit religious — risks creating tension," said Mr. Landriscina, who just finished a book about Rudolph W. Giuliani's time as mayor of New York.
If elected, he said, he would go to Rome, which has jurisdiction over such issues, and appeal for a change.

I built a Marlin Roadster kit car in 1990 which I still enjoy to drive when sunny. I retired from Heswall Group Practice as Practice Manager in 2006 knowing that one of the Doctors had a 1500 Spit which required a full restoration. Like a complete idiot I asked the Doctor that if he paid for the bits would he like me to restore it as a hobby.
He leapt at the chance!!
The job started towards the end of 2006 with dismantling down to the bare chassis. The car had belonged to the Doctor's brother who then passed it on to their father who in turn had it transported up from Brighton to Heswall. At that stage it was untaxed but a 'goer' although there were a suspicious amount of brown coloured blemishes dotted about together with a surplus of misshapen holes where holes shouldn't be. With good intent every nut, bolt and washer was to be tagged and indexed and archived for later use.
Apart from larger items, all that went by the board and a load of bent and broken bolts, rusted and half cut nuts and wafer thin washers resembled the back end of Campbells yard.
Various photos in chronological order will be interspersed throughout this diatribe where you will see some of the stages that are worth a glance from a pure connoisseur's position or alternatively bored out of one's skull if you are that way inclined.
They cater for all Triumphs, are friendly,helpful and reasonably priced. In the end every nut, bolt and washed was either cleaned and polished and returned to the car in due course or new items purchased ensuring that Imperial sizes were used throughout. The chassis was blasted and powder coated at a spurious 'cash will do fine Sir' outlet on the Wallasey dock road and the work of resurrecting non-metal i.e holes in the chassis by devious welding' the work being carried out by my good friend Mike Quinn.
He was also responsible for other parts of the restoration in a professional capacity as and when required or when he wanted a free cup of coffee and a nosey on how things were going. The gearbox was refurbished by Alan Voigts of Seacombe. The overdrive unit which was introduced to the car sometime prior to it arriving in Wirral, was switched in and out by a dash switch and wiring put in by the Doctor's father. We opted for a gear stick switch which was sourced from a very old Triumph gearbox. The top half of the stick containing the switch was cut and was welded onto the then modified stick. It looks o.k. lets hope it works.
The chassis welding took some time with various old structural metal being replaced by new 'Triumph' parts, outriggers, bumper extension struts, sills, wheel arch work, boot floor, a new boot lid, a new door and a re-skinned door and various other time consuming bits.
The re- furbed chassis was a joy to work on with all new front end suspension parts and a selection of re-con and new rear parts. Fotos make the chassis build look quite good!. I rebuilt the engine after it receiving new exhaust valves. I didn't know until later that swarf had not been removed from the block after machining which you would probably understand why I made several undisclosed grammatical oaths especially with the engine near to completion.
Further photos show the dressed chassis coming together.
Too late! When I had progressed threequarters through the chassis build an 'Expert' at least I think that was what they called him, indicated that I should have put the chassis to one side, untouched and concentrated on the body.I now know of course that he was perfectly correct. If I had done as he said I would not have touched the dam thing in the first place. Hindsight eh!
It took a long time and a lot of filler, elbow grease, sweat, toil, broken fingernails and just a few carefully selected adjectives before the body and bonnet were ready to be transported to Liscard to be two packed by Garry of H & G Maddocks. A fine job and all wae had to do now after getting it back was to mate the two halves together so that you couldn't see the join. Electrics were installed, my man wanted a radio system with woofers and tweeters and things most non-compliant with British automobile manufacturing of the '70s. Dash in, carpets in, seats recovered and in, glass, all original, in. Brake servo unit installed, electric fan installed, 5 wheels blasted and painted and new tyres fitted.
Wipers and washer pump and bottle all new installed. New steel and chrome bumpers, from Paddocks, installed. The hood, original, was quite difficult, but with a few new bits and a bit of persuasion it now fits like a glove.
Although the car needs some fettling which will be carried out as soon as the weather improves, it passed its MOT last week on its first attempt and I am most grateful for that. It is to be taxed from March and the insurance will have me included in it so you might see it around the locality in the Spring. I have mentioned several people who have helped me but it would be remiss of me not to mention others who have shown interest and been of unfailing help.
They are:-
Dave Evennett……… 1500 parts manual
Ray Fields………… his 1500
The Doctor's wife………… Abundant strong coffee
My wife………………seeing less of me

The following is excerpted from Small Stories Big Changes: Agents of Change on the Frontlines of Sustainability, edited by Lyle Estill and published by New Society Publishers.
I was engaged to marry. We were signed up to join the Peace Corps in Central America.
My perspective as an undergraduate Biology major at Elon University left me with a sense of despair and urgency. Global climate change, drastic deforestation and habitat loss, unprecedented species extinction rates, air and water toxicity, wars over scarce resources, overpopulation, and the social implications of the industrial growth society felt like an unstoppable avalanche of catastrophe.
I wanted to help. I wanted to get my hands dirty. I wanted to climb trees and plant seeds. I wanted to understand, from the ground up, how we humans had gotten ourselves into this mess.
I knew I had to escape the industrial society, the house of cards, built on finite resources and dependent on infinite
My classmates wanted to find a cure for cancer. I wanted to find a cure for humanity.
I couldnt ignore the striking similarities between the epidemics of uncontrolled growth in our bodies and in our world.
Who are we? What are we doing?
What purpose were we meant to serve in this Earth Community? My intuition told me that we had known a better way at some point in human history. There were ancient cultures who had understood our place in the sacred web of life. But we Americans had forgotten.
We had deviated so far as to isolate ourselves in ivory towers and sterile laboratories to perform the study of life.
I began to search for the truth in places where traces of traditional cultures still remained.
I heard stories of a good witch who lived on a magical farm with a giant treehouse. I knew I had to find her.
Carolyn was almost 70 years old, but as soon as our eyes met, I knew.
After a series of walks in the woods, I cancelled the wedding. I abandoned the Peace Corps.
My soul, parched from sterile biology laboratories, thirsted for her wild wise-woman ways. I followed her around. I made muffins in order to have an excuse to visit her. I lapped up her words. Her ideas, her way of thinking, were like salve to very deep, old wounds.
I volunteered to help with educational programs at her nonprofit, The Center for Education, Imagination, and the Natural World at Timberlake Farm. I fell in love with her land and the children who came. The children likewise fell in love with the land, and that was wonderful to witness.
I learned that much of Carolyns perspective came from her teacher and friend, Thomas Berry, cultural historian and eco-theologian.
Thomas writes that instead of being a malignant presence on Earth, we must learn to become a benignor even better, a mutually enhancing part of the Earth Community.
I began to understand, through his ideas, that the empirical perspective I had honed during my undergraduate years was precisely what was allowing us to pretend that humans are separate from nature. The notion of saving the environment was lovely, but the general assumption was that we would survive independent of the rest of the Earth Community.
I came out the other side of my own intense religious exploration aghast at the great separation that the church had promulgated. Our understanding of heaven as separate and apart leaves Earth as waiting room, supply closet, and trash can. This seemingly harmless assumption, when multiplied by billions of humans with free choice, has left the beautiful and complex systems of Earth in shambles. For the first time in human history, all life is threatened.
Then came Tim. One morning, after a curiously wonderful encounter with her son, Carolyn held me by the shoulders, looked me in the eyes and said You should marry my son. We had met at a Thomas Berry Lecture and made a bonfire together afterwards.
At first I laughed, flattered and amused. Then, I walked in the woods with him.
I found a man who shared my deep love for Mother Earth, and my despair over her plight. We stopped to stroke soft mossy patches and watch hawks circle overhead. I cried on
his shoulder about toxins in the air and waters. Together we rejoiced over the sheer beauty of life, and mourned the losses of species and cultures. In each other we found glimpses of our deepest and most true selves, and together we found our path. It wasnt well-marked, had lots of rocks and knobby roots, and it didnt seem like many had walked it before.
Tim and I fell in love while exploring the forests, meadows and streams of his land, called Pickards Mountain. On my 22nd birthday, we built a garden and planted our first seeds. We began to learn the names of the plants and animals who shared the land with us.
People who shared our compassion for the crisis came to potluck dinners on Wednesday nights. A wind turbine and solar array were erected to provide clean energy. Composting toilets saved fresh water. A little space in the barn provided a home for a small co-op of folks who made Biodiesel fuel out of vegetable grease. A beautiful chicken coop held a flock of 20 hens who gave delicious eggs with deep orange yolks. Friends, hungry for simple living, asked if they could camp in our woods. Some stayed for a long time. We made explanations to neighbors and invited them to join us for farm suppers. Over long conversations, we discovered they shared our concerns for the world.
I received phone calls and emails from people curious about our projects. We began hosting educational programs and field trips and called our work Pickards Mountain Eco-Institute. The name always felt a bit presumptuous to me, like we knew the answers, but Tim convinced me that we wouldnt be taken seriously if we called it Pickards Mountain Center for Loving the Earth, Healing the World, Making Peace, Living in the Woods, Growing Food, Holding
Hands in Circles and Learning Together. (Plus, we werent trying to come off as a commune.)
So, Pickards Mountain Eco-Institute was born. UNC-Chapel Hill asked us to be one of their Triangle Sustainability Field Study Sites. The Abundance Foundation invited us to share their 501(c)3 nonprofit status. We hosted classes from over 40 local schools who watched the wind turbine turn, learned about biofuels, pulled and ate organic carrots, and asked questions about the future of life on Earth.
We signed up as a host site with the international organization Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF). Members, usually recent college graduates restless to see and save the world, sign up to help on farms in exchange for room and board. People came from all over the country, and a few from outside the US. We met people on many different journeys, invited them into our daily lives, and learned from each other.
Weve probably had two hundred WWOOFers over five years. Some only stayed a night, but some stayed almost a year and became integral to farm life. The garden kept them busy with pulling weeds, watering, and harvesting vegetables. They fed and fell in love with the chickens, pigs, goats and ducks. Someone taught us to dry herbs and make baskets. We read and talked about the state of the world. Around evening bonfires, we listened to stories of their adventures and songs they had learned along the way. We shared ideas of the latest sustainability techniques, most of which were resurrections of ancient methods or technologies based on natural systems. Sometimes their dogs would attack chickens or they would accidentally almost set fire to the woods, but mostly it was a mutually enhancing experience.
We invited inspirational teachers to host workshops in herbalism, wild foods, holistic medicine, wild mushrooms, permaculture, simple living, growing food, cultivating mushrooms and the Transition Town movement.
I always invited WWOOFers and interns to attend workshops, tag along with field trips and join community potluck dinners. Our potluck group grew, until there were sometimes 100 people in our circle. Many of them were new faces, and I was always amazed at the relationships and realizations that emerged. There were doctors and lawyers, teachers, students, vagabonds, clergy, anarchists, legislators, engineers, entrepreneurs, and their families. People in ties would sit next to people with dreadlocks, and end up chatting about politics and eggplant. Tim and I loved it. Local schoolteachers found great fodder for classroom discussions. Families asked questions about rooftop solar and hired local contractors to install systems. People tasted baba ganoush, red pepper hummus, and nettle pesto. Many said they were the most delicious meals they had eaten. Kids chased chickens, fed goats and played in the sand beneath the shade of the solar array. At least three couples fell in love on the land and eventually married.
I felt incredibly fulfilled. Our first child, Kaia Maathai Toben, was born in August of 2005. She was named after Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai who started the Greenbelt Movement in Kenya, and was christened by Thomas Berry. Kaia rode on my back while I farmed and taught.
Margaret Krome-Lukens came into our lives just in time to save me and the farm from falling apart. Deep dedication to my new role as mama was teaching me about my limits
as a human being. I couldnt do it all. Margaret had the infectious optimism of sunshine and the self-disciplined work ethic of a ninja. We found ourselves in a beautiful partnership, taking care of the farm together.
Margaret and I both loved the way the schoolchildren came alive on the farm. The look on parents faces when their children reached for, picked and ate green beans and tomatoes from the vine was priceless. We also loved the way chil- dren immediately saw the wisdom and beauty in working with nature. Why wouldnt we get all our energy from clean sources like the sun and the wind?
Once, a little boy in the first grade visited on a field trip with his class. He sat quietly listening to our explanation of the solar energy system. His brow furrowed as he examined the huge panels. Where does the energy come in? And where does it go out? Then, later, as his teacher had requested, we were exploring the way plants catch energy from the sun and turn it into what they need to grow. We were imagining together that our bodies were plants. Our feet were the roots growing down into the soil, our arms the branches, our faces the flowers. As we reached our hands/ leaves up to the sun, this little boy jumped up and yelled A plant is like a SOLAR PANEL!
Childrens curiosity and thirst for knowledge come from their inborn love for the natural world. One of the greatest gifts we can give them is time outdoors to explore and wonder. The heartbreaking times are when children have been denied these opportunities and disconnected from that love by fear. I will never forget a group of girls from a Greensboro inner city school who simply would not step off of the gravel. They clung to one another, shrieking about dogs, spiders,
and snakes. When, finally, by the end of the day, these girls were sitting in the grass describing bird songs they heard and loved, I felt like the morning had been a success.
This work is not about giving people all the answerswe dont have all the answers to give. But we know how to listen for good clues. And one of them is the knowledge that we dont come into this world afraid. We come into this world curious and amazed. We come into this world believing we can talk to animals, and that trees deserve to be climbed and hugged.
One day, a middle school ESL (English as a Second Language) class came on a field trip from Durham. When the teacher first contacted us about the class, I assured her that I was comfortable with conversational Spanish, and my wonderful co-leader Margaret with conversational French. She responded that her 30 students, mostly from Southeast Asia and Africa, spoke 12 languages, not including local dialects. She assured me that they would mostly understand my English.
The students were afraid to get off of the bus. The teacher had warned me that some of these kids had been through serious life trauma like abuse and refugee camps. Once we coaxed them off the bus and into a circle, the next task was getting them to speak their names. The teacher helped, and repeated the names, many of which were new to us. I began to explain that Pickards Mountain was about learning to meet our needs in ways that were healthy and good for the Earth. We knew that the air and waters were being poisoned by industrial processes, and that people were acting without respect for the natural systems and other living beings. We were trying to change that.
They looked at me with huge eyes and guarded expressions. I have no idea if they understood a word I said. Eventually I gave up on talking and walked them over to the rabbit hutch. Since rabbits are prey animals, every time they get lifted off the ground they think they are getting eaten. As I sat down with this scared rabbit in my lap, and motioned for the students to come closer, I didnt know who was more afraid. One shaky hand reached out to stroke the rabbits fur, then another. I thought I saw a little smile.
Our next stop was the greenhouse. I picked a few leaves, tasting them and passing them around to share. I wasnt using many words, except maybe the names of the plants. I started to notice sounds of recognition, and realized the students were naming the plants in their own languages. I will never forget the excitement one African girl expressed over the beets. She summoned up the words We have this in my country! She hadnt yet seen them in the US, and was so thrilled, I gave her an armload to take to her family. The taste of the beets had taken her back to a time and a place when her life had roots.
Ive gotten used to kids falling in love with our two playful farm dogs, but one small boy from Burma couldnt leave them alone. He played with them, wrestled with them, and hugged them. At the end of the day, I noticed him telling his teacher about how he used to take care of the dogs in his village. She later told me that was the most English he had spoken all year.
A group of high school students visited Pickards Mountain one spring from a school in Raleigh. At their teachers request, we created a three-day program for them. When they arrived, a kid named Jake caught my eye. With his
multiple piercings, henna tattoos, and shaggy blue hair, he was hard to miss. My first impression was that he wasnt so excited about the field trip.
The first day we talked about their current understanding of the state of things, learned their names, and gave them a tour of the farm and projects.
The next day, we put them to work in the garden and on the cob building project. They learned the basics of planting and harvesting, soil testing, irrigation and natural building.
On the third day, we explored the details of the environmental crisis, using a framework created by the Pachamama Alliance (pachamama.org).
Where are we?
How did we get here?
What is possible for the future? Where do we go from here?
We witnessed a beautiful shift in consciousness over these three days. After they left, I got an email from Jake, the blue haired kid. It read, Thank you for allowing me to visit Pickards Mountain Eco-Institute. I now know who I want to be and what I want to do with my life.
Jake spent much of that summer camping out on the farm and collaborating on a cob cottage. At the end of the summer, he was indeed a new version of himself. His parents credited our work together for his successful graduation from high school and his passionate pursuit of further education.
Tim was invited to Iceland on a fishing trip with Bill McDonough, one of the worlds leading green architects. Together they dreamed up a groundbreaking green building project for Chapel Hill.
Tim purchased a portion of a block in downtown Chapel Hill. The few buildings on it were condemned, and the soil laced with trash and leaked toxins. I watched as these two visionaries created one of the most beautiful, cutting edge green buildings on the East Coast.
In 2009, the economy tanked, and the bank panicked. Bank of America paralyzed Tims project. Its true what they say about banks. They dont play fair or nice.
I didnt understand the details of bank foreclosure, but I knew my husband wasnt sleeping at night.
Month after month, Margaret and I kept the Eco-Institute work alive while Tim wrestled with Bank of America.
I didnt care that we were losing $14 million dollars. I cared that Tim sleep again.
After much soul-searching, we sold our house and over 400 acres to pay the bank. We gave away half of our stuff so we could fit into a smaller place.
We asked the Pickards Mountain community to help us move the farm, and people came with shovels, gloves and trucks. We rolled up the fences and dug up the herbs. We caught the chickens and moved the goats to a neighbors place.
The process felt both frightening and liberating.
Ive always been a sucker for frontiers and wilderness: chopping wood, building fires, growing food, pulling together. We hired a couple neighbors and fixed up an old cinderblock cabin on the piece of land we had left.
We camped out in a crumbling old farmhouse for six weeks, amused by the critters we found under the leaky roof with us.
We and the Eco-Instute found a wonderful new home by the pond on our remaining 68 acres. The cabin is sweet and cozy. The farm is thriving. There is food on the table, laughter in our days, and warm beds at night. The PMEI calendar is more full than ever. And Tim is sleeping again.
We still find ourselves in despair sometimes, but we pull each other out of it. We regain our sanity each day by stepping outside, practicing gratitude, putting our hands in the soil, and remembering that life is a sacred opportunity. We know were living in an incredible moment in time, when the story could take a drastic turn at any moment.
There is a wonderful metaphor I love to share with groups of high schoolers, who are beginning to feel jaded by the magnitude of the crisis and the vast momentum of the current system.
When a caterpillar reaches a certain point in its life, it gets a voracious appetite. It becomes over-consumptive. This triggers the formation of what biologists call Imaginal Cells. As the caterpillar eats and eats, these imaginal cells begin to vibrate at a different frequency than all the other cells. As the caterpillar makes its cocoon, they begin to find each other.
Then, all the other cells in the caterpillars body melt into what is called nutritive soup. They actually un-differentiate, from being heart cells or brain cells or stem cells, to create this nutritive soup.
The imaginal cells then orchestrate the formation of a completely new being. A butterfly, completely unrecognizable from its earlier state of being.
Our culture is in an over-consumptive state . . . one which we cant sustain. And amazingly enough, imaginal cells are
beginning to appear. We are finding each other and gathering, and have the potential to orchestrate a whole new form of being.
May our understanding continue to evolve, and may we once again find our rightful place in this Sacred Earth Community.

The rural economy is an important segment of the ecosystem and accounts for around 70 percent of employment and 50 percent of GDP with agriculture being the main driver followed by services and manufacturing. It is largely unorganized and hence those working in rural India or consuming in this economy are a different category of economic agents driven by different factors. The economy is quite complex in so far as the fact that cash dominates in terms of transactions and while there has been some intrusion of the use of credit (kisan) and debit cards and ATMs, dependence on technology driven payments system is limited. This has hence also become a haven for routing black money both in terms of seeking tax exemptions by channelling funds, to convert to legitimate funds. But a lot of black money gets into land and 'apparent rural activity'.
Now consider some aspects of this economy and the cash conundrum. Almost all transactions in the mandis (there are above 7,000 organized ones and over double the number that is unorganized), are based on cash as it is easy to use. The farmers prefer to receive cash and while some do take in cheques there is a sense of doubt if the counter party is unknown. Hence one reason why electronic mandis is a good idea is that payments can also be made through the electronic mode as all transactions would be e-enabled. The recent demonetization has caused significant distortions as farmers are unable to sell their goods. This has happened just when we are in middle of the kharif harvest which involves rice, soybean, cotton, maize, sugarcane, bajra, besides fruits and vegetables which are all year through.
The second issue for Indian agriculture is the rabi season which has begun where farmers start sowing their seeds. The issue here is less serious as a large part is backed by credit where the prevalent cash crunch may not matter. It would only be at the margin that farmers may be impacted, and hence the pain here would be secondary.
Next let us look like services. A noticeable example is the cobbler who makes footwear. His business has stalled as there are few people who are able to buy his product given the cash crunch. The value is low being less than Rs 1,000 and sold locally. There are no cards involved in sale of these products. He cannot make more shoes as he cannot pay for the leather. The leather dealer cannot source from the tannery because of the cash issue. The tannery has an issue with the raw material as the cash economy has gotten stifled. The same holds for the transport operators who have to move farm products or for that matter any other product produced by the organized sector. This impasse has led to trucks getting lined up with cash issues on both ends.
How about the SMEs, which have a large presence in the rural sector? Here again business is mainly through cash. They have limited access to finance from banks except when it gets mandated through the priority sector lending. They source material based on cash though most of their payments are linked with large enterprises which would be through cheque. This mismatch will create temporary problems as the issue is access to cash, which is the ultimate problem for rural India.
Penetration of banks in rural areas
The penetration of banks in rural areas is remarkable. Almost 65 percent of branches are in rural and semi-urban areas with around 38 percent in just the rural segment. The problem is not infrastructure but the blockages caused by the inability of banks to deliver cash in adequate quantities and denominations on time. Metro cities have been witnessing sharp problems for almost two weeks now with challenges of recalibrating ATMs and getting cash to the teller. This is a bigger issue in places which have bank branches but not easy access for ensuring adequate supplies. This is the crux in the functioning of the economy.
Withdrawing cash or exchanging notes are the major challenge here. People are not habituated to using the e-channel mode of payments and are in the throes of difficulties in keeping their households ticking. This is where using localized banking structures like state, central or district cooperative banks will help. But given that some of them have political patronage, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has kept them away or else there could be channelling of black money.
Will the present cash crunch push this economy back significantly? The answer is that it will not be very different from the urban economy. Services output lost will be permanent. But other product purchases and sales will largely be deferred. However, at the micro level the population will be sharply affected in terms of being aware of what is happening, understanding the ethos behind this move, getting hold of currency and probably realizing the necessity of moving away from currency. The inconvenience caused here will be higher as even today bank ATMs in metro cities have not been calibrated. Several branches are still not receiving adequate cash. In rural areas it will be even more distressing.
But on the positive side one can be fairly sanguine that by December 31, conditions will return to normal once again and it will be back to business for farmers and the rabi crop should be running well on course. In fact going ahead, this move, howsoever painful it is, will help in integrating the non-agri economy in rural India into the GST module.
Two thoughts here: How will the rural people react to this move? Will they agree with the motivation or will they become suspicious of the banking system and hold more cash in future in lower denominations? Or are they sophisticated enough to understand that there is black money which is affecting the government's fiscal arithmetic and has distorted the economic system and is fostering terrorism? If this is true, then they will appreciate what has been done and support wholeheartedly. Otherwise, once again it will be the case of the weaker and poorer people bearing the brunt of any reform in the system. Only time will tell.

Here are some fellow parents-to-be expecting in 2020Here are some of the most unique celebrity baby names and why they were chosen12 Tips From Mums to Mums For Caring For A Newborn BabyHilary Duff rejoices after specialist she hired succeeds in training baby daughter 'to fall asleep on her own'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (also known as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) are expecting!The best ways to keep babies and toddlers cool during hot weatherZara names royal baby after the QueenA COUPLE have seven babies under three after they tried for "just one more" – and fell pregnant with QUINTUPLETS.Newborn Survival GuideHow to help your baby get the most out of tummy time
If you have a lifestyle where you travel a lot, if you live in small flat, or maybe your baby sleeps over at grandma's house quite often, you may end up using a travel cot for your baby.
Travel cots are ideal for mobile lifestyles or for people who need to regularly move their child around. They are smaller than standard cots, which also makes them a good option if you don't have a lot of room. If you do already have a travel cot then you will need to purchase a suitable travel cot mattress as they are never included with the purchase of the cot. Standard cot mattresses are sized for cots in standard dimensions. Travel cot mattresses are smaller. However, we make any size of travel cot mattress whether it is to fit a Graco, Mothercare, Samsonite etc. etc. You should be aiming for a very snug fit mattress in your travel cot and it is still very important that the mattress fits properly.
Travel cot mattresses can be made in different ways, just like standard cot mattresses can. You can choose fom all of our mattress fillings and coverings and they can be any depth from 2.5 cm right up to 10 cm. The most common type which we sell is the 5 cm deep foam version of the mattress. Foam travel cot mattresses tend to weigh less and be less of a hassle to move around than other types of crib mattresses, which makes them popular. We can even include aprotective carry case with them if they fold away into two or even four parts.
You shouldn't be looking to buy a really thin and lightweight mattress for your travel cot. That would defeat the object of making the cot a comfortable sleeping area for your baby. Keep in mind that the highest quality foam travel cot mattresses tend to be those made from 25 or higher density foam (as ours are). These ones are denser, firmer, and generally hold up better with lots of use. They provide the best support for your growing baby. Babies don't always sleep properly without proper support, and on a softer mattress your baby may injure his or herself or only sleep for short periods of time.
Finally, there is the issue of size. A travel cot mattress needs to fit snugly into your travel cot frame in order for it to be safe. You need less than 2 cm.of space between the frame and the edge of the mattress (the less the better). If there is more room than that, the mattress is unsafe and the baby could become trapped or injured. A standard size mattress mattress will not be any good because it will simply be too large to fit into the sleeping area of the travel cot.
Finding a great mattress for your travel cot isn't too challenging if you keep these factors in mind. A travel cot mattress will give you increased convenience. You are looking to maximise convenience for yourself and the safety and comfort for your baby, so make sure the mattress you choose is the perfect size and of an excellent quality.
If you aren't sure of the size you need - that's no problem. Just contact us or search our website. We have a wealth of knowledge about travel cot mattresses, both older models and current ones and we will almost certainly be able to advise you of the size you require.
We have everything from a basic mattress that folds away for convenience, right up to a luxury travel cot mattress made from natural fillings such as organic cotton and lambswool.
For any help or advice at all please contact us here at Baby & Children's Mattresses Online.

Statement on my arrest
On March 25th,
A group of about 100 or more pro-trump demonstrators marched down Hollywood Blvd, with no counter-demonstration whatsoever.
After a confrontation, the police came and detained me and a trump supporter.
They arrested me after finding brass knuckles in my pocket, then releasing the trump supporter and shaking his hand. Even through it didn't surprise me, it still angered me.
They took me to Wilcox Station and charged me with possession of Brass knuckles, which is a felony.
My bail was set at 20,000 (2,000) and ended up bailing myself out because of responsibilities like work, son, and thinking I had to move my car before it got towed, on an instalment plan. Luckily, a close comrade and other comrades had my car towed to safe place so it wouldn't get towed and accumulate charges.
My court date is on April 19th.
Honestly, what went through my mind the whole time, was these racists cannot march down Hollywood in Los Angeles, without anyone challenging them. I wasn't planning to get arrested, and wasn't planning to do anything, until I was attacked by the trump supporter who claimed I took his "Make America Great Again" Hat, so I defended myself against him and two other trump supporters who hid behind their protectors the Los Angeles Police Department.
I just wanted to put my story out to friends, comrades and family.

Today I want to discuss opportunity. It's a concept we're all familiar with, but it's not one we really think about a lot in our daily lives. One of the aspects I enjoy most about baseball is the absolute purity of the opportunity. All roster spots are up for grabs, and it's a fight every day for those spots.
Recently on the Mariners we've seen one of the most obvious cases of such an opportunity. Jean Segura went on the 10 day DL due to some hamstring issues, and as a result Taylor Motter has been handed the starting role.
Motter stepped into the role and has re-written the book on how to seize an opportunity. As I write this, he's hitting .257 with 3 HRs over 39 Plate appearances. That's a big step up from several other starters in the lineup who are starting the season off slow. His unchecked enthusiasm and hairflip have taken the fans by surprise, who are all rooting for and wishing to order their own "Motterpops" this summer.
With Segura on pace to come back soon, Mariners GM Jerry DiPoto is now faced with a tough decision as to how to get Motter at-bats. It's a problem every GM loves to have; too much talent, too little playing time.
Motter isn't the only pleasant surprise this season. Over in Milwaukee, there's a little known guy who used to be a Mariner for a short period back in 2012-13. Eric Thames, the current HR leader in the MLB, was viewed as a potential 4th outfielder back then, with some question marks connected to his plate discipline.
After being handed between 4 different MLB teams and not truly finding a home, Thames headed to South Korea for a fresh start. There he was forced to focus more on discipline, as the Korean league isn't exactly known for fierce fastballs. The style there is more focused on breaking balls and exacting control. The new environment obviously worked, as he became the 3rd foreign player to win the MVP of the league there. He's now back showing his newfound skills for the Brewers and is on top of the league at the moment.
We all face these opportunities in life, and its how you face them and react that determines how your life will turn out. These are just two examples of how baseball athletes took advantage of theirs. Keep watching this season to see if there are more surprises, as I expect there will definitely be.
In Pax we trust – There's a buzz surrounding James Paxton this season, as he seemed ready to take a big step forward. He's definitely done that, with 21 scoreless innings to start the year, and a 22:4 Strikeout to walk ratio. Have the Mariners found a new Ace? Very possibly.
Ichiro Mania – Big news in Seattle this past weekend, with the former right fielder in town as a Miami Marlin. No word yet on when he will retire, but make plans Seattle fans for number 51 to be the next number retired by the Mariners. He hit an emotionally satisfying home run in what's likely his final Safeco Field at bat, and it was a wonderful sendoff.
PEDs…again – PEDs made the news once again this week with the suspension of Pirates star center-fielder Starling Marte. There's a lot of conflicting views on the issue across baseball, with some folks like Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo calling for a lot more testing. But the reality is that teams do not care on this subject. Look no further than the signing of Johnny Peralta by the St Louis Cardinals 2 years ago, to a multi-year deal when he was suspended. It made absolutely no difference and clearly didn't impact his earning potential. As long as teams ignore it, players will continue to take PEDs.
