ea9
When you think of taking a trip to another country, there is no doubt you immediately consider airline ticket prices. But, that was not always the most popular mode of travel. Before there were 747 jetliners to ferry people across oceans, the way to travel was by cruise ship. But when it came to the masses, they were not necessarily the luxury vessels we are used to seeing today.

During the Hundred Years” War, the Island, like much of the south coast, became a target for marauding French. The Island”s only fortification, the Norman Castle at Carisbrooke, assumed a defence role for which it was unsuited owing to its central position; The French could land on the coast and burn and plunder while ignoring the castle. Towns and villages like Yarmouth, Newtown and Newport were sometimes attacked and burned. It is said that in 1377 a party of French fell into an ambush on the outskirts of Newport and were cut to pieces in Dead Man”s Lane, now Trafalgar Road. They are supposed to be buried at “Noddies Hill”, now known as Nodehill or Upper St. James” Street. On the same occasion the French besieged the castle, but, according to the legend, retired on the death of their commander, shot from the castle”s west wall. Concern about the French attacks is shown in the frequent modifications made to the Castle”s defences in the 14th Century.

The ‘Non-Divorce’ Divorce
1778br>This past week, typically mindless commentary during a popular morning talk show caught my attention. All of a sudden amidst my morning routine, I heard words and phrases like ’solution’ and ‘cost-effective’ and ‘best interests of the children’ and ‘divorce.’ The host claimed there is a new phenomenon in which a married couple remains together, in almost every sense of the word, despite the fact that both desire a divorce. He referred to it as the ‘non-divorce’ divorce. Supposedly, this trend is gaining popularity as the solution to a failed marriage.

Auto motor loans are cheaper and what makes them cheaper is the secured option available to the borrower. Secured auto motor loans are offered at lower interest rate. This is because you are supposed to secure the loan for the lender through any of your property. Equity in property enables in borrowing greater loan in case you intend to buy a new car of high price. Apart from lower interest rate and greater amount, another advantage is that you have the choice of paying off the loan in larger duration. This helps in saving money for other uses as monthly outgo towards installments gets reduced.
