Pictures in Colour of The Isle of Wight. WITH DESCRIPTIVE NOTES. _CONTAINING FIFTY BEAUTIFULLY COLOURED PICTURES OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT._ JARROLD & SONS, LTD. 10 & 11, Warwick Lane, E.C. London & Exchange Streets, Norwich. Pictures in Colour of Isle of Wight. Foreword. Among the numerous holiday resorts which claim the attention of the travelling public, the Isle of Wight will be found to possess attractions of very varied character. It has often been the theme of poets and the delight of artists. The student of art and the amateur photographer can find subjects in variety, whatever may be his peculiar line of study. The noble cliffs and bays for the student of coast scenery; old mills and cottages, with trees and streams, for the lover of sylvan beauty. The rugged grandeur of the Landslip and Undercliff will furnish subjects that yield delight in the interpretation of their romantic interest. The earnest student of Geology will find enhanced interest in the fact that within short distances many successive formations can be studied; the high inclination of the strata bringing to the surface the different formations. The gentle undulations of the land also furnish great opportunities for pictorial expression. The Botanist may here find an almost inexhaustible store of treasures. Wild flowers and ferns abound in great variety. To those who have never visited the Island, the accompanying illustrations will unfold sufficient of its beauty to give some idea of its resources. Being reproductions from actual photographs they may be relied upon as being true to Nature. There is great diversity in the scenery, and a holiday can be enjoyed amid its beauties which can scarcely be surpassed. It may be truly described as the Garden of England, and some of its scenes are here presented in the hope that those who inspect its beauties as here transcribed will be induced to visit and see it for themselves. [Illustration: _Steephill Castle, Ventnor._] STEEPHILL CASTLE, VENTNOR.--Within a mile of Ventnor, and close to the Town Station of the Isle of Wight Central Railway, is Steephill Castle with its beautiful and extensive grounds. From every point outside the Castle is well embowered in trees, only the tower being visible. It was built in 1835 by I. Hambrough, Esq. The architectural features are well displayed from inside the garden. The view from the tower is very fine. In 1874 the Empress of Austria stayed here, and hunted with the Isle of Wight hounds during her visit. It is occupied at the present time by Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Richards, the parents of "John Oliver Hobbes" (Mrs. Craigie), who is a frequent visitor. [Illustration: _Appuldurcombe Abbey._] APPULDURCOMBE ABBEY.--The ancient seat of the Worsley family, the present building was erected in the eighteenth century by Sir Robert Worsley. Here the Benedictine monks had a Priory in the time of Henry III. It was dissolved by Henry V, Sir Richard Worsley died in 1805, and the house became the property of the Earl of Yarborough, who had married the niece and heiress of the family. After being used as a school for many years, it is now occupied by Benedictine monks, In a beautiful park of four hundred acres, with a lofty down behind it, the house appears to be a well secluded and charming retreat. There is a public footpath through the meadow in front of the house. [Illustration: _Steephill Cove, near Ventnor._] STEEPHILL COVE, NEAR VENTNOR.--Taking the cliff path from Ventnor to the west within a little more than a mile there opens out to view this pretty Cove. It is a place for painters, and its loveliness in all varieties of Nature's many moods, has found admirers. The cottages nestling under the banks, its parti-coloured gardens, with enclosing pebble walls, its boats and crab-pots, with the distant cliffs in succession, all combine in a composition that strikes the beholder with a conviction of its beauty. [Illustration: _Shanklin Esplanade, from Rylstone._] SHANKLIN ESPLANADE, FROM RYLSTONE.--This favourite view, which shews nearly the whole of Shanklin Pier, also includes in the distance the Culver Cliff. Taken from the Garden of Rylstone, overlooking the foot of the Chine, it forms a most attractive scene. The cliff pathway on the green to the right, the winding road and broad esplanade, with the wide expanse of sands, furnish a characteristic view of the principal features of Shanklin front. The level sands form a safe and pleasant bathing-ground when covered by the sea. Boating too is popular, it being within easy reach of beautiful bays in the direction of Luccombe. [Illustration: _Gateway, Carisbrooke Castle._] GATEWAY, CARISBROOKE CASTLE.--This noble gateway tower was erected by Anthony Woodville, Lord Scales, in the year 1464, and is still in good preservation. The outer gateway was erected in the time of Queen Elizabeth, when a great extension of the grounds enclosed was made. "The battled towers, the dungeon keep, The loop-hole grates where captives weep, The flanking walls that round it sweep In yellow lustre shone." (Scott). The old massive doors have been removed recently and replaced by a lighter structure. [Illustration: _Osborne House Terrace._] OSBORNE HOUSE.--This view of Osborne from the south lawn is the most picturesque, and gives the late Queen's apartments standing out in bold relief in the centre of the picture. The terraces below adorn the building, and the rosary which extends on the right to the lawn is gay with a blaze of colour in the month of June. Now that Osborne has been made into a Naval College, the grounds are open to visitors on Fridays in the winter, and on Tuesdays and Fridays in the summer season; it is visited by many thousands during the year. [Illustration: _The Pond, Bonchurch._] THE POND, BONCHURCH.--One of the show places of the Isle of Wight known throughout the world by the lovely pictures that have been made of it. It has lately fallen into disrepute by the destruction of some of its beautiful trees, but more specially by the leakage of the pond which left it stagnant, dirty, and partly dry. This has now to a large extent been remedied, and the pond once more assumes its former aspect, giving reflection in its surface to the lovely forms of beautiful foliage with which it is overhung. The village is one mile from Ventnor. [Illustration: _St. Catherine's Lighthouse._] ST. CATHERINE'S LIGHTHOUSE.--Formerly the Lighthouse stood upon the Downs, but the prevalence of sea mists during certain portions of the year which obscured the light, at last led to the erection of the present building near the margin of the sea. It is one of the most powerful lights in the world, sending its rays far out over the sea and land as it revolves. When the sea mists arise it has a powerful foghorn which can be heard for many miles. Close by is the reef at Rockenend, on which many a gallant ship has been broken up. [Illustration: _Ferncliffe Pleasure Gardens, Sandown._] FERNCLIFFE PLEASURE GARDENS, SANDOWN.--These beautiful grounds have lately been acquired by a syndicate of leading residents, with the view of their ultimate acquisition for the town. The house is available for refreshments, and the Gardens, which are well wooded, are pleasant to ramble in. There are little nooks and seats overlooking the bay in several directions. It is already proving a great attraction to the town. [Illustration: _The Needles._] THE NEEDLES.--When walking on the Downs from freshwater to the Needles, following the path by the military fence, this picture of the Needles comes suddenly into view, and is a very impressive sight. The Needles themselves are stacks of upper chalk, with flints, and are the remains of an extension of the chalk. The cliffs here are about four hundred feet in height, and at their base the sea breaks frequently in a long surf line on the steep shingly shore. In calm weather visitors engage boatmen at Totland and Alum Bays to take them in boats through the Needles and land them in Scratchels Bay. [Illustration: _Shanklin Old Village._] SHANKLIN OLD VILLAGE.--One of the most charming old-world pictures, which still retains its rustic simplicity. Multitudes of visitors from all parts of the world yearly visit this relic of Old Shanklin. Pretty thatched cottages can be seen in many parts of the Island, but nowhere is there such a combination, there being three different styles of roof in thatch, the setting in a background of trees completing the illusion of the country. In the angle where the figures stand is the rustic fountain on which hangs the shield with the verse written by the poet Longfellow when staying at Hollier's Hotel, Shanklin, in 1869. "O traveller, stay thy weary feet, Drink of this fountain cool and sweet, It flows for rich and poor the same: Then go thy way, remembering still The wayside well beneath the hill, The cup of water in His name." [Illustration: _Stone Bridge in Shanklin Chine._] STONE BRIDGE IN SHANKLIN CHINE.--About half-way through the Chine the ravine is spanned by an arched Stone Bridge which, in conjunction with the steep banks with trees and ferns, makes a fine pictorial effect. Many of the trees are a great height, having been drawn up in seeking the light above the cliffs, which in this place are a considerable height. The stream flows along the narrow channel under the bridge. [Illustration: _Chine Hollow, Shanklin._] CHINE HOLLOW, SHANKLIN.--This charming lane leads from Shanklin Chine direct to the Landslip. Close to the head of the Chine and within two minutes' walk of the Old Village it forms a beautiful shady retreat on a summer day. The steep banks are of bright red and yellow sandrock beds, out of which trees have grown and verdant vegetation has found a footing until the whole is covered with Nature's mantle of beauty. The view is taken coming from the Landslip and looking towards the Chine, Old Village, and town. [Illustration: _View Across the Foot of Shanklin Chine._] VIEW ACROSS THE FOOT OF SHANKLIN CHINE.--From the shelter of a pretty nook in which seats are provided, Shanklin sands and cliffs appear in all their exquisite beauty. A wide stretch of sand from the foot of the Chine to the fine cliffs of lower Greensand supplies a playground for multitudes of happy children. Under the cliff is a happy camping-ground, in which numerous tents are put up in the season. The fisherman's cottage, with its rough stone walls and roof of thatch, forms a pleasing subject in many a picture. Half-way to the cliff are steps leading up to Appley Cliff into the village, or on to the Landslip. [Illustration: _Shanklin Chine._] SHANKLIN CHINE.--A scene of sylvan loveliness beyond description. Winding paths extending from the shore for about one hundred yards, through one continuous bower of beauty, bring you to the head where in the wet season there is a cascade. In the summer the banks are one mass of ferns and foliage of varied form and colours. Quiet nooks are to be found where, during the heat of the day, a book can be enjoyed in the cool shade of the trees. Shanklin has the reputation of being the cleanest town in England. It is certainly the most beautiful in the Isle of Wight. [Illustration: _Stone Seat--The Landslip._] STONE SEAT--THE LANDSLIP.--The Landslip which lies between Shanklin and Ventnor is a favourite resort to the inhabitants and visitors of both places. The catastrophe that wrought this magic transformation has resulted in producing scenery of entrancing beauty. The efforts of Nature to cover and hide the deformities of riven rocks and yawning chasms have produced trees of fantastic shape and remarkable diversity. The broken rocks afford sustenance for many plants, the chloritic marl liberated making the ground wonderfully fertile. This stone seat forms a natural throne on which many parties have found a trysting-place. As it stands in the principal pathway it is a well-known resting-place. [Illustration: _On the Road to Blackgang._] ON THE ROAD TO BLACKGANG.--"One of the most charming drives in England," is the verdict of many visitors to the far-famed Undercliff, as they go through shady groves and again emerge under the weather-worn craggy cliffs above the road. In spring the ground under the trees is carpeted with flowers, and the winding road uphill and down creates a transformation scene at every turn. There is no rest for the eye, and all the faculties are awake to enjoy a new sensation of delight as each corner in the road is turned. It is a perfect fairy land, and the rugged walls are half hidden by multitudes of plants which enhance the lights upon the stone. [Illustration: _Windy Corner--The Undercliff._] WINDY CORNER--THE UNDERCLIFF.--One of the most romantic districts in the whole of England is the Undercliff, extending for five miles from Ventnor to Blackgang Chine. Its beauty has been caused by the slipping away of the Gault clay, letting down the masses of Upper Greensand rock. The chert beds of the cliff have been weathered out by wind and rain into forms of rugged beauty, while the broken and undulating ground below is filled with flowers and vegetation of the most wonderful and varied character, scattered rocks peeping out among the foliage furnishing bits of a most attractive character to the artist and photographer. [Illustration: _Ventnor, looking East._] VENTNOR, LOOKING EAST.--The differences of elevation afford to most of the houses in Ventnor practically uninterrupted views of the sea. The sheltered nature of the site also furnishes a most congenial climate, in which plants and shrubs in great variety flourish. The horned poppy adorns the cliffs, and valerian and tamarisk thrive even during the winter months. Its peculiarities of climate and position render it a highly favourable residence for invalids throughout the year. It would be difficult to name any place of equal extent and variety of surface, or of equal beauty in point of scenery--so completely screened from the cutting N.E. winds of spring. [Illustration: _Ventnor, from the Sea._] VENTNOR, FROM THE SEA.--Built on the slopes of the hill, Ventnor presents from the sea a remarkable and magnificent picture. Each house being at a different elevation, commands sunshine all the day. Sheltered from the cold wind, trees and flowers flourish and retain their beauty during the winter. When the golden gorse and purple heather are in bloom upon the downs it forms a most attractive scene. Steamboat trips daily during the summer furnish the visitors with abundant opportunities of enjoying this vision of beauty. The Railway Station lies between the hills behind the Church spire. The Town Station of the Isle of Wight Central Railway lies to the left beyond the Park. [Illustration: _Ventnor, looking West._] VENTNOR, LOOKING WEST.--From this point Ventnor is beautiful both in summer and in winter. The setting sun on a winter day is a sight worth travelling far to see, and in summer the white chalk cliffs of the foreground are clothed with crimson valerian, mingled with bright green samphire, while the gardens below, with the miniature lake, are full of colour. These effects, together with the houses perched on every conceivable vantage point of rock and surrounded with vegetation of varied hue, make up a picture of entrancing beauty. There is a good Pier for promenading and fishing as well as for steamboat excursions. [Illustration: _Old Oak Tree--The Landslip._] OLD OAK TREE--THE LANDSLIP.--This is one of the many specimens of fantastic growth to be found in the Landslip, and is a great contrast to the tall and stately beech trees that grow in the Cloisters nearer to the upper cliff. It resembles very much the serpent-tree which was painted by Turner. This part of the Landslip is full of great diversities of form and situation, some appearing to grow direct out of the rocks. The white scented violet grows here in great profusion in April. [Illustration: _Blackgang Chine._] BLACKGANG CHINE.--This view of Blackgang exhibits its wild and rugged grandeur. The cliffs rise to a height of four hundred feet above sea level. The surf-line breaking on the red beach far below on the left, with the broad expanse of sea beyond, is very fine. The cliffs in the middle distance consist of the sands and clays of the lower Greensand formation, and are constantly falling and being eroded by the waves. The breakers on the shore at Blackgang are very grand in stormy weather, the beach being very steep and the water deep outside, a great volume rolls in with magnificent effect and thunderous sound. Geologically it is of great interest, the beds of the lower Greensand being more fully developed here than elsewhere, a thickness of almost eight hundred feet being exhibited in this neighbourhood. [Illustration: _Swiss Cottage, Osborne._] SWISS COTTAGE, OSBORNE.--The grounds of Osborne House contain five thousand acres, the lawn sloping down to the sea adjoining the grounds of Norris Castle. A sheltered portion of the garden contains a large number of trees and shrubs from Indian and foreign climes. In the vicinity of this Indian garden is Swiss Cottage, forming an architectural contrast to Osborne House, and surrounded with trees and flowers that make it appear quite a little paradise. [Illustration: _The Floating Bridge, Cowes._] THE FLOATING BRIDGE, COWES.--East Cowes is reached by crossing in this bridge, which goes backwards and forwards across the mouth of the Medina, conveying carts, carriages, coaches, and motor cars, as well as passengers. It works on chains which pass under it, fastened to the shore at each end. It is a novel experience to many people when they find the coachman drive his four-horse coach full of passengers down the slope on to the bridge, and then off again at the other side. [Illustration: _Whippingham Church._] WHIPPINGHAM CHURCH.--About a mile south of Osborne is Whippingham Church, a cruciform structure from designs furnished by the late Prince Consort. Before a private Chapel was added at Osborne the Royal Family often attended. The aisles which contain seats for the Royal Household are divided from the Chancel by ornamented arcades. The north aisle is converted into a Mortuary Chapel in memory of Prince Henry of Battenberg. Mural tablets to Princess Alice, the Duke of Albany, and a medallion bust to the Prince Consort have been erected by Her late Majesty; also a medallion to Sir Henry Ponsonby, whose tomb is in the Churchyard. From the back of the Church there is a fine view of the river Medina, looking towards Newport, the capital of the Island. [Illustration: _The Pier, Cowes._] THE PIER, COWES.--The new Pier and Esplanade from an attractive feature at Cowes. When emerging from its narrow streets you come out into the wide open expanse of Esplanade, it is a great relief. The Marine Hotel forms a prominent object. East Cowes is to be seen in the distance. This view is taken from close to the entrance to the Royal Yacht Squadron Grounds and Landing Stage. [Illustration: _Royal Yacht Squadron Club House, Cowes._] ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON CLUB HOUSE, COWES.--The Club House was originally one of the fortresses built by Henry VIII. for the defence of the Island. In the time of Charles I. it became a prison. It is now rented from the Commissioners of Woods and forests by the Club. It is a scene of gaiety and animation during the first week in August, which is the Cowes week of the season. Crowds gather near the slipway to see the royal and noble passengers land when the yachting season is on. The Causeway leads to the Green which is crowded during the racing. On fireworks-night this thoroughfare is densely packed from end to end. [Illustration: _High Street and Queen Victoria Memorial, Newport._] HIGH STREET AND QUEEN VICTORIA MEMORIAL, NEWPORT.--The ancient borough of Newport is the capital of the Island. Its streets are usually busy, and on market days are quite gay and animated. The County Petty Sessional Court is held every Saturday in the Town Hall, which is also the meeting-place of the Town Council. The Isle of Wight County Council meets at the Technical Institute, as does also the Education Authority. In the same building is the Free Library, the gift of Sir Charles Seeley, Bart., who also pays the librarian's salary, with the water rent secured from the Town Council for the splendid supply, recently acquired from the estate of Sir Charles at Bowcombe. The Diamond Jubilee Memorial to Her late Majesty is erected on the spot where at the Jubilee, in 1887, Her Royal Highness received an address of congratulation from the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight. Newport contains the old Grammar School where Charles I. held his conference with representatives of the Parliament, and many other buildings of historical interest. The monument to the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Charles I., is in St. Thomas' Church. [Illustration: _Steps to the Keep, Carisbrooke Castle._] STEPS TO THE KEEP, CARISBROOKE CASTLE.--As a memorial of a bygone age how interesting are the steps to the keep, the last resort of the besieged, from which it would be difficult to dislodge them, without great loss. The well which furnished them with water is now dry, but can still be seen. The battlements furnish the visitor with a magnificent view of the country in every direction. The steps, seventy-two in number, are somewhat steep. The walls are covered with climbing plants. Shelter is afforded by trees and bushes, while access is given at the back of the ancient buildings in the Castle, to facilitate escape in case of surprise. [Illustration: _Carisbrooke Village._] CARISBROOKE VILLAGE.--The village of Carisbrooke is beautifully situated. The Church, embowered among the trees, stands on an elevated site close to the Priory, with which it was associated. The Chancel was destroyed in Queen Elizabeth's reign by Lord Walsingham, whose obligation it was to have kept it in repair. The Pulpit is a relic of Puritan times, dated 1658, very small and plain. It was evidently not intended for the preacher to sit down, as nails stick up in the very small seat. The Lukely stream runs through the village. The view here shown is taken from the Beech Grove, a very beautiful walk leading to Carisbrooke Castle. [Illustration: _Quarr Abbey, W. Ryde._] QUARR ABBEY, W. RYDE.--The distance of the Abbey from Ryde is about three miles. It is a favourite walk from Spencer Road, viâ The Lovers' Walk, past Binstead Church, through Quarr Wood. This portion is occupied as a farm, but remains of the old Abbey are scattered about, portions still standing to testify its extent and importance. The walk may be continued through the archway on to Fishbourne. In the wood the daffodil is plentiful, primroses, lungwort, and the blue iris also abound in their season. The Wood has been very extensively quarried for the limestone, with which Winchester Cathedral and many Churches were built. There are pathways through the Wood down to the shore, forming very pleasing vistas through the overhanging trees. [Illustration: _Spencer Road, Ryde._] SPENCER ROAD, RYDE.--It is an advantage for a town to possess pleasant shady walks within a short distance of its main streets. Ryde is favoured in this respect. Within five minutes' walk from the Town Hall, passing St. James' Church, is Spencer Road. It is a favourite promenade, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. A morning stroll in spring when birds are singing from every bush and tree is very delightful. It is a fine avenue extending several hundred yards and opening out into the main road to Newport. By entering the gate on the right at the junction, the walk may be continued past Binstead Church through Quarr Wood to Quarr Abbey. [Illustration: _Ryde, from the Pier._] RYDE, FROM THE PIER.--The situation of the town is favourable as a principal entrance to the Island, the passage from Portsmouth by steamboat occupying about twenty minutes. The Pier (toll 2d.) is 4,000 feet in length, and is in three portions--for pedestrians and boating, electric railway, and the Isle of Wight Railway. There is a fine pavilion and bandstand at the end. Crowds of people find a never failing source of interest on the pier, yachting, boating, and fishing. On summer afternoons it is a gay and charming scene. The town is built on a gentle slope, and the houses command fine and extensive views. It has the largest population of any town in the Island, about 11,000 inhabitants. [Illustration: _Apley Tower, Ryde._] APLEY TOWER, RYDE.--Within one and a half miles of Ryde the wall is a continuation of the Esplanade in the direction of Spring Vale and Sea View. The wall furnishes a means of defence against the encroachment of the sea, as well as a thoroughfare for pedestrian traffic. Bicycles are also used on it to some extent. When the tide is out a wide stretch of sands is exposed, and crowds of children use it as a pleasure ground, finding beautiful seaweed and shells. The walk can be continued round the further point into Sea View. [Illustration: _Totland Bay._] TOTLAND BAY.--This charming resort has sprung into prominence and grown very fast during the last few years. Many of the houses are very picturesque and beautiful for situation, most of them with red-tiled roofs, which when toned a little more by time will be very beautiful among the trees. There is a pier, and during summer a regular service of boats from Lymington, as well as excursion traffic. The beach is steep and so you can bathe at any state of the tide. A reading-room on the shore is much patronised. The Green Cliff Walk is very delightful, and as the channel here is narrow there is a never-failing interest in the ships that pass in and out quite near. The front lacks shade in the hottest days of summer. It has great interest for the geological student, being close to Headon Hill and Alum Bay. [Illustration: _Sandown, looking West._] SANDOWN, LOOKING WEST.--Sandown is celebrated for its fine stretch of sands which are easy of access, and forms an extensive pleasure ground for the children. There is also a fine esplanade for promenading, which in the season is well patronised. In this view the grounds of Ferncliff can be seen behind the Arcade Bazaar, and there is a cliff path to Shanklin on the top. The picturesque fishing village lies under the cliff, slightly to the west. Sandown Railway Station is a junction with the Isle of Wight and I.W. Central Railway. Near the station is the celebrated Secondary School of the Isle of Wight Education Authority. [Illustration: _Tennyson's Avenue, Freshwater._] TENNYSON'S AVENUE, FRESHWATER.--Leading from the main road, near Stark's Hotel, is a lane giving access to the Downs and leading to the Avenue, across which is a small wooden bridge connecting Lord Tennyson's grounds. A quiet, secluded spot yet visited by crowds of admirers of the late Laureate. Tennyson loved retirement, and in scenes like these, surrounded with the loveliness of Nature, the breathings of his genius found full and free expression. The lane may be pursued under the bridge past the farm into the Alum Bay Road. [Illustration: _Freshwater Bay._] FRESHWATER BAY.--To those who desire to escape from the noise and traffic of the city, Freshwater Bay affords a delightful retreat. During the bright days of summer the sea breaks in gentle murmur on the sand and shingle of the beach, but in winter when lashed by S.W. Gales "it tumbles a billow on chalk and sand." The roar of the ocean can be heard for miles inland. The esplanade shown in the picture has been destroyed by the breakers. Temporary repairs have been effected, but a fierce controversy is still raging as to the ultimate solution of the question, how to prevent further encroachment, and the L.G.B. has been appealed to for help. [Illustration: _Farringford, Freshwater, Lord Tennyson's Residence._] FARRINGFORD, FRESHWATER, LORD TENNYSON'S RESIDENCE.--The residence of the late Laureate is in the neighbourhood between freshwater Gate and Alum Bay, secluded by trees almost to invisibility. The front is covered with greenery, a fine magnolia growing round and over the front door. From under the lateral branches of a fine spreading cedar tree the Poet could look into Freshwater Bay and yet himself not be seen. The park-like grounds are pleasant to walk in, and are open to the inspection of visitors on Thursdays at certain seasons. In his poem of invitation to Rev. F. D. Maurice in 1854 he well describes it: "Where far from smoke and noise of town, I watch the twilight falling brown, All round a careless order'd garden, Close to the ridge of a noble down." [Illustration: _Godshill Church._] GODSHILL CHURCH.--Built in a striking and conspicuous situation, Godshill Church is visible from many distant points of the surrounding country--a good example of Early Perpendicular architecture, a cruciform structure having two equal aisles of its whole length, with a fine pinnacled tower and sancte-bell turret in the south transept gable. The tower has been recently rebuilt, having been shattered in a thunderstorm in January, 1904, when the clock face was torn out and thrown out into the churchyard. It contains monuments to the Worsley family and the tomb of Sir John Leigh; also a fine painting, of the school of Rubens, of Daniel in the Lions' Den. There are tea-gardens in the village for the accommodation of the numerous visitors who throng there from Shanklin, Sandown, and other places in the vicinity. There is also the old village inn, the Griffon. [Illustration: _Little Jane's Cottage, Brading._] LITTLE JANE'S COTTAGE, BRADING.--This cottage still retains its original appearance with thatched roof and diamond window-panes, a real old-fashioned Isle of Wight cottage, many of which are fast disappearing. The little forecourt and garden are well kept. The greenery covering the front, of plants of great variety, from the yellow jessamine to the red fuchsia, with flowers under and around the windows, combine in completing a picture of great beauty. Here Jane the young cottager lived when Rev. Legh Richmond was Vicar of Brading in the early part of last century. Her tombstone is at the back of Brading Church. [Illustration: _The Sundial, Brading._] THE SUNDIAL, BRADING.--When clocks and watches were not common, a sundial was of great service to the public. This old dial, with its well-worn steps, is situated in the churchyard at the back of the Church, close to the footpath leading to the Vicarage. The view from the churchyard across to Bembridge Down is very pleasing. [Illustration: _The Pier, Sea View._] THE PIER, SEA VIEW.--This pretty little watering-place is rapidly rising into prominence as a fashionable resort. The Pier is an elegant structure suspended from piles, and affords an easy and rapid approach from Portsmouth and Southsea by steamboat, and during the summer there is a regular service of boats, as well as excursion traffic. There are also many coach and motor excursions from various parts of the island. Sea View is three miles from Ryde. Many pretty villas have recently been built to accommodate the increasing number of visitors. [Illustration: _View in Ventnor Park._] VIEW IN VENTNOR PARK.--The acquisition by the town of the site of the Park was a wise and good thing. The differences of level afford many advantages: those who like the sea breezes can walk on the upper promenade green where enchanting views of sea and land meet the eye at every point. Quiet nooks like that of the picture can be found in the lower and more sheltered grounds. The visitor can choose shade or sunshine at command. Alongside of careful culture of flowers and shrubs, wild nature also asserts itself, not having been ruthlessly suppressed. [Illustration: _Monk's Bay, Bonchurch._] MONK'S BAY, BONCHURCH.--This quiet retreat is at the Ventnor end of the Landslip and within a short distance of Old Bonchurch. The two thatched cottages are almost grown in, and the bright red cliff which forms the prominent feature consists of the topmost beds of the lower Greensand. The lower beds behind the cottage are of geological interest from the diversity of colour in the beds. The sands are white and firm, and there are rocks and pools where children love to play. Close by is the path leading through the Landslip to Shanklin. [Illustration: _The Downs, Ventnor._] THE DOWNS, VENTNOR.--The elevation of the Downs above Ventnor affords an opportunity of enjoying most romantic and charming scenery, and of being refreshed with health-giving breezes. There are paths leading to Wroxall, also to Shanklin, unfolding a succession of views it would be difficult to rival. When the golden gorse and purple heather are in bloom it presents a glorious prospect to the vision. The footpath leading to the Downs is by the railway station, or access may be had from near the Cemetery. The prospect from the slopes of the Down toward the town and sea is very extensive and impressive. [Illustration: _The Cascade, Ventnor._] THE CASCADE, VENTNOR.--It was a happy thought when the town acquired the triangle which includes the Cascade, the water of which once went to supply Ventnor Mill. By the planting of creeping plants, of monkey musk and a number of other beautiful flowers, this neglected corner has been turned into a garden of loveliness. It is like a little corner of Switzerland, and all within sight of a busy thoroughfare. The band plays on the green below to the sound of falling water. In the heat of summer the very sound of it is refreshing. [Illustration: _Shanklin Esplanade from Rylstone._] SHANKLIN ESPLANADE, FROM RYLSTONE.--This favourite view, which shews nearly the whole of Shanklin Pier, also includes in the distance the Culver Cliff. Taken from the Garden of Rylstone, overlooking the foot of the Chine, it forms a most attractive scene. The cliff pathway on the green to the right, the winding road and broad esplanade, with the wide expanse of sands, furnish a characteristic view of the principal features of Shanklin front. The level sands form a safe and pleasant bathing-ground when covered by the sea. Boating too is popular, it being within easy reach of beautiful bays in the direction of Luccombe. [Illustration: _The Old Church, Bonchurch._] THE OLD CHURCH, BONCHURCH.--In addition to the beautiful situation and the essential loveliness of the subject, Old Bonchurch has many associations of attraction. It is no longer used for services, except an occasional funeral. In the churchyard John Sterling's grave and the grave of the Rev. J.

Kenn Bosak is a self-described cryptocurrency nerd. He's probably better described as a self-deprecating enthusiast since he thrives on sharing information about Bitcoin and Bitcoin accessories, while keeping his own non-expert bona fides clearly on display. We had the pleasure of doing a Q &A with Kenn recently.
Hey Kenn. Thanks for talking with us. Can you tell our readers a bit about your Bitcoin journey and what brought you to the world of cryptocurrency? What is it about Bitcoin/cryptocurrency that captured your interest?
When I first started looking into investing, I found a lot of barriers to entry. It was difficult for somebody at my income level to profit from trading stocks, so I kept looking. This search ultimately led to cryptocurrencies. The very nature of the easy access to cryptocurrencies is what led me to Bitcoin.
Can you talk a little bit about your YouTube channel and what your long-term goals are? What made you decide to become a YouTube personality? Is this your main focus? Is it a hobby or a career?
My YouTube channel started as a simple way for me to connect with people and answer their questions. I kept getting the same ones over and over, so this became a matter of efficiency for me. Rather then taking the time one-on-one to answer the same questions, I could reach more people and offer the same assistance. Ultimately, the YouTube personality life chose me. People liked my content and kept sharing it to the extent that leaders in the cryptocurrency world were asking to appear on my channel. It has become my main focus, since it has become more profitable than my day job. So now I'm all-in on it. My long term goal is to become the "David Letterman" of blockchain Interviews or the "Ryan Seacrest" of cryptocurrency events.
Since you're all about sharing information about BTC and educating bitcoin users, can you give us a quick run-down on what exactly someone interested in BTC need to know before getting involved?
My approach is a little unique, I think. You don't really need to get "under the hood" so to speak, unless exactly how the technology works is of interest to you. Understanding how to use the technology to better your quality of life is where I start. You don't need to be a mechanic to utilize automobile technology, after all. It's easier to use than it is to understand. Start the path to understanding by using it.
We're in the middle of a pretty volatile time for BTC. We've seen some record highs and lows recently though it seems to now have stabilized a bit. What do you tell people who're skittish about getting involved?
Bitcoin technology isn't complete. It's a constantly evolving entity, constantly being updated, most recently with segwit. These steps forward towards Bitcoin's "final form" will continually bring value increases. The next update to look for will be Lightning Network. Understanding what the technology does and how, will restore confidence. Look. The bottom line is that this is a long term Investment opportunity, not a get rich quick scheme. And there's definitely risk involved.
Since you've got your fingers on the pulse of what's up-and-coming, do you have any recommendations for people if BTC is too pricey at this point for them? Is there a scrappier coin to buy now?
You don't have to buy a whole bitcoin, so price is in some ways irrelevant (you can buy fractions of a coin). But, if you're looking for a more affordable cryptocurrency, I like Litecoin. Litecoin is cheaper in price and on the same path as Bitcoin without competing directly with it. Also Litecoin tends to go through these refinements and improvements before Bitcoin, which acts as a catalyst for Bitcoin.
On the practical side, do you use cryptocurrency in your daily life?
I obviously use cheapair.com to book flights with bitcoin. Like I mentioned, I'm all in. I have to use Crypto to survive. To use cryptocurrencies daily, I use a few visa cards to help: Shift Payments and Bitpay. Shift Payments pulls from a cryptocurrency wallet. This avenue offers volatile value based on the market via Coinbase. On the other hand, Bitpay is a top up visa, that pulls from a wallet in U.S. dollars that you top up by selling Bitcoin (not volatile). Depending on how the market is doing, I'll use one over the other. I also use Localbitcoins where I can sell large amounts of BTC to buy money orders to pay my rent. And I try to find local businesses that accept bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, even if it's a little out of the way for me. You've got to support the businesses who're taking the time to support it. Airbitz is a great tool to help with this—a directory map that shows all local businesses that accept various cryptocurrencies.
We know you've used CheapAir.com to book your own travel. How did you find the experience? Is it simple enough?
Booking and paying for a flight with cheapair is simpler than using traditional travel agencies. Since you guys find the cheapest flights and offer side-by-side comparisons, it saves me time hunting for a deal. Plus, by paying with crypto there is no need to type in all my visa information which takes time and comes with the obvious added risk of my personal banking information being compromised.
Can you share a bit about who inspires you in the Bitcoin or cryptocurrency space?
Omar Bham is a personal idol of mine. I really admire his work. He is professional, intelligent and honest. His work personally inspired me to start my own YouTube show. We've since become friends.
What do you do in your time off to decompress? What are some of your passions outside of your bitcoin projects?
To be completely honest I'm passionate about recreational marijuana. I use it to decompress and as a tool to overcome my severe social anxiety. As you can imagine having anxiety and being a public figure is difficult, to say the least. But, Bitcoin and blockchain technologies consume almost all of my attention.
Thanks! Kenn really is a guy you'd like to chat with over a beer. If you're in the crypto world, you just might get your chance. Check out Kenn on his YouTube channel or website.

Discipline: Help children understand their limits and grow into responsible adults. We as parents need to set rules and limits for our children and be consistent in enforcing them.
- Discipline: Help children understand their limits and grow into responsible adults. We as parents need to set rules and limits for our children and be consistent in enforcing them.
- Appreciation: An occasional applause does wonders for the self-esteem of a child. Appreciate time and again for small gesture as it acts as a motivating force.
- Quality not quantity: It is not important to spend a lot of time with children. By giving them a listening ear the child is able to get rid of fears and becomes more attached and comfortable with the parents.
- Role model: A child is a keen observer and studies have proved that they generally behave and act in the same way as their parents. Be respectful. Honest and be compassionate first and then expect your child to do the same.
- Actions speak louder than words: Hugging and cuddling the children and showing them your love is very important rather than just telling them that you love them.
- Make communication your priority: There should be a two-way communication flow between parents and children. Rather dominating them and dictating them terms, let them also vent out their feelings. Parents who reason with their children allow them to understand and learn in a non-judgmental way.
- Be flexible and realistic: Each and every child is different. Be realistic in your expectations from them. Be flexible in changing your behaviour and attitude according to your child. Understand your child's aptitude and then set the goals.
- Show your love is unconditional: As a parent you are responsible for correcting and guiding your child, but how you express your corrective guidance makes all the difference in how your child receives it. He needs to be told that you will love him no matter what.
- Nurture self- esteem: Each child is special and needs to be treated that way. Boost up your child's confidence levels by giving them a lot of encouragement and appreciation. Nurture his self-esteem and never compare him with others.
- Separate the deed from the doer: Whenever a child misbehaves or does a wrong deed, do not criticise the child. Rather tell him that he is not bad but the action or behaviour is bad. So never condemn the child but his behaviour.
- Motivation does wonders: Motivation can help the children to achieve the impossible. Constant positive motivation encourages the children to enjoy and like the task they do.
- Discipline teenagers: Parents of teenagers should be vigilant and active and always keep a close eye on them. The child needs to be respected and likes to be treated like a grown up. Hence discipline them in the correct manner.
- Increasing suicidal tendencies in teenagers: Many parents are totally in shock when they realise their suicidal tendencies. The reason is the lack of communication between them. Parents should talk openly with their children about their feelings. They should listen to them and take their views on all the issues and treat them properly.
- Let them be independent: Let the teenagers be independent in deciding about their subjects, hobbies, etc. Do not pressurise them with your thoughts. Sometimes parents want their children to achieve what they were not able to achieve. This is not fair as each child has his own preference.

Joseph E. Troiani, Ph.D.
Commander, U.S. Navy (retired)
National Defense Intelligence College
There has been much debate about both
the value of and moral / legal standing of US intelligence activities.� Unfortunately, much of the public debate has had
a political agenda and is orchestrated on both sides specifically to garner
attention and TV ratings. Dr. Troiani's
experience in both Military Intelligence and Counter Intelligence spans
several decades, giving him an understanding and perspective necessary to
safely navigate the real challenge of keeping ahead of those who would
cheerfully annihilate Americans at any opportunity. Behind the recent
successful Navy SEAL operation that finally ended Osama Bin Laden's existence,
a network of anonymous and very diligent men and women do detailed, often
tedious work, gathering and maintaining information from a myriad of sources
key to or safety. Dr. Troiani will give us an
overview and share some of the interesting unclassified details of the recent
Commander Troiani retired September 1, 2010 from the United States
Navy - Reserve Component after serving thirty-two and a half years.� He enlisted in the Navy Reserves 1978 as an
Intelligence Specialist (IS) and was assigned to Patrol Squadron 90 out of
Glenview Naval Air Station.� He was
commissioned as an officer in 1982 and assigned to the Naval Investigative
Service.�� During his tour with NIS he
took part in the security operation in support of the 1986 rededication of the
Statue of Liberty in New York City.� In
1993 he was selected to the National Defense Intelligence College where he
earned his MSSI Degree and was assigned to the Joint Analysis Center - Fort
Sheridan, Illinois. �In 1999 he graduated
with a diploma from the Naval War College.�
In January 2000 he returned to the National Defense Intelligence College
located in Washington DC where he developed courses on terrorism, homeland
security/defense, and leadership in the intelligence Community. He was also an
instructor with the National Guard's National Interagency Training Center where
he lectured on Terrorism Psychological Consequence Management, and in addition
received an appointment to the Adjunct Faculty of the Naval War College.
assignments included Stuttgart, Germany, Yokosuka, Japan, Seoul, Korea, Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, and to Norway's naval ship HMS Horton where he served as a U.S.

Hip-hop culture has run in his blood for years, starting with writing lyrical poetry then applying it to music in order to educate and enlighten the listener into important world issues usually ignored in the whirlwind of daily struggles. Caspa's roots extend to a Pakistani background and from the Dallow area in Luton. His huge following of eager supporters however not only consists of the Asian community but from every ethnicity.
When asked what his music is all about Caspa responded, 'I am Caspa. I represent freedom for the enchained and the oppressed. My music is for people to relate too. I often take the words out of people's hearts, so that's why people enjoy it most, I use political views also to enlighten and educate the minds of young individuals to what is really going on in the world'.
When probed about what influences him Caspa continued, 'This is my fuel. I burn inside when I see a child die on the news or on another youtube video. Growing up on a racist estate and spending a part of my life abroad has enlightened me too help the less fortunate'. He also elaborated on the meaning of his lyrics, 'By relating to their pain through my words. I am poet as well as a story teller everyone deserves to play a part in history. I am playing mine. The people of the world are always in my heart and in my words'.
Caspa is part of a collective of talented artists from the local area 'Free Your Style' currently on the route to success in the world of music. Currently recording a promotional EP 'No Justice, Just Us' to follow by an album later on in 2012. Already receiving praise from respected artists in the industry, and receiving thousands of views on his music videos available on YouTube. Caspa is delighted to have been asked to perform alongside massive UK rappers Lowkey and Akala in South Hampton in January.
With hard work and persistence 2012 will hopeful be an extremely successful year for Caspa and his team at 'Free Your Style', who not only focus on music distribution, but open mic events in the area 'Free Your Style Saturdays' are re-starting on February 25th at the new Student Union at the University of Bedfordshire, Food For Thought clothing and building 'Project FYS' a project focused on giving back to those who require aid or are suffering in any poverty in any form.

Thai women are considered to be so sweet and lovely. They're well-bred and polite. What's more pleasant for Western man, they're come from patriarchal society, that's why they accept men's leadership and they're ready to follow them. So, those of men from Europe and the USA, who had some bad luck with Western women, may want to marry a Thai woman.
What are Thai women like?
Thai women are unique, because they seem to have good manners from their birth. They speak soft, move quietly. They are so polite, that seem to be angels. Let's have a look at some other interesting features of beautiful Thai girls.
- They follow etiquette of their country, which says that the head is the most sacred part of a human body and feet are the least important part. It means, that you'll never see a Thai girl with her feet on the table. What's more, they don't use tables as chairs, that's too rude for them.
- They smile almost every single minute of their lives. That's why Thailand is called the land of smiles. It's not only about tourist spots, but all its regions, even those, where foreigners don't live in. The only reasons why Thai girls don't smile are the following: they have a really bad day (that is possible) or they are too shy to smile at strangers.
- They don't show off their emotions in public. They prefer putting a smile on their faces. Only when they're alone they can express their emotions at full.
- They can tell lies, because they don't like arguments. If you ask your Thai girlfriend about anything, she may reply yes, because she knows that this answer you expect. She doesn't want to upset you, that's why she'll try to keep her emotions to herself. But this volcano will erupt sooner or later. If you're married a Thai woman, she may agree with you for several weeks, but then her patience is over, and then you'd better run for shelter and save your life. If you don't want to see this explosion, you should let your Thai wife express her emotions and disagree with you.
- They always say "Mai Pen Rai", which means "Don't worry". You shouldn't accept this thing literally. In fact, it's a reason for considering what you've done wrong. This phrase is said by Thai women in the same situation, when Western women say something much more rude.
- They are considerate. They deeply respect their partners and take care of them. They don't embarrass their men in public, because they prefer discussing important things in private.
- They are organized housewives. Girls in Thailand are raised as workforce. They are used to working and taking care of the house and family. They know how to maintain their household, but they appreciate any help from their partners.
Those were characteristic features for all women, who live in all parts of Thailand. Now, let's discuss differences between the girls, who live in different parts of the country.
- Women from Northern Thailand. You will be surprised how calm and peaceful they are. It's easy to fall in love with a girl from this region.
- Women from Northeastern Thailand. People, who live there, always work in group and help each other. They build houses and temples together. Girls from this region have the biggest patience possible.
- Women from Central Thailand. They love freedom, so they are more independent than girls from other regions. Some of them are westernized, which means, that they respect traditions of the USA and Europe.
- Women from Eastern Thailand. They are relaxed and warm-hearted. They love freedom too, but still they can't compete with girls from the central region.
- Women from Southern Thailand. They are active and strong. They can seem loud and direct, because they're used to saying what they think. That's how they differ from girls who live in other regions.
Do Thai girls make good wives?
That's the first question you might have before you make up your mind. Let's remember, that all women are different, even if they come from one and the same country. So, some Thai women are not created for long-term relationships, but others can bring you so much happiness. If you treat her well, of course. You'll feel that she has a heart of gold and you'll love Thai traditions she'll bring into your home.
Thai women, who choose marriage, don't divorce so fast as a majority of Western women. They don't get angry with their men for a long time. But much depends upon you! Thai women are used to following their men, but they're also used to being treated well. If you try to be the master of your house and tell your Thai wife what to do and where to go, she probably won't tolerate it. And you'll be left alone.
So, before you decide to marry a Thai woman, remember the main rule: Happy wife – happy life!
What about differences?
There are some types of differences you'll have a deal with, when you start an international marriage with a Thai woman. First of all, it's cultural one. Thailand is not a Western country. It has its own unique culture and you'd better respect it, if you want to live happily with a Thai woman.
It's not cool to complain how hard it is to live in Thailand. Your Thai wife won't respect you in this case.
Another difference that you may have is an age gap. It doesn't raise brows in Thailand. Of course, a 20-year-old girl won't fall in love with a 60-year-old man. But an age difference somewhere between 10 and 20 years is quite all right here.
Young Thai women prefer elder men, because boys of their age are not serious. They're nothing more than playboys, who drink around with their friends.
Where can you meet Thai women for marriage?
A great number of Western men find amazing Thai girls in dating apps and websites. Such ladies speak English a bit, that's why they create their profiles and don't mind marrying foreigners.
If you come to Thailand in the hope of finding a local girl for long-term relationship, you don't have many chances. You can find some at coffee shops. If you see a girl you like, smile at her and start a conversation. Ask her what she thinks about the town. If she smiles back, you can ask her, if she's single.
Wedding traditions
One wedding tradition is very important in Thailand. It's dowry. Your girlfriend's parents might make it clear that it will be presented. You can get worried about it, but if your Thai girl loves you, she'll do everything possible to make it painless for you.
Dowry presentation is a great show, but it's just a show and nothing more. You'll have to show the guests how rich you are. You can get a loan and after the wedding ceremony you can give the money right back.
The wedding ceremony in Thailand is a great celebration. Over 300 guests can take part in this event. And it can be very, very long. It can be separated into the morning ceremony and night one. You'll have to pay for much foods and drinks, photographers and musicians. You'll have to take care about the guests, who live in other towns. They'll need hotel rooms, booked by you!
A part of Thai family
Families in Thailand are very united. If you decide to marry a Thai woman, it means, that you'll marry the whole of her family: her parents and her siblings. The similar situation is in South Korea, Japan and China. And you know what else it means? You'll have to send money to her parents every month! Yes, old people in Thailand get some money as a pension, but it's not enough. Your Thai wife will want to help them.
If you become a part of a close Thai family, your wife will stay but your side no matter what. Even if you decide to leave Thailand and go to your country, you'll have to remember her parents. You can invite them to your place once in while and go to their place as well.
Thai people greatly respect their parents. Here're some examples:
- When they come into the room and see their elders inside, they bow down.
- If elders sit on the floor, younger people kneel down and crawl past them.
- Younger people are not allowed to be in a higher position than their elders.
Now you know much. Do you still want to marry a Thai woman? If you're sincere to her and love her, she'll love you back and take care for you. If you take her to your country, she'll miss her home. You'd better surround her with Thai things, so that she can feel as if she's at home.

I love these pliers! I love the "eased" edges. They are not sharp and I find I mar my metal less. The extra hardened tips (how brilliant is that btw) on the pliers keeps them from bowing, and man are they strong! My favorite part, they are made here in the USA. High quality and domestic...LOVE IT!
I've been learning chain maille all this year. In October I sustained a major dominant hand injury. In optimism of regaining use of my hand, I ordered these pliers to supplement the Lindstrom pliers I already owned. Although I really like the Lindstrom's, these Tronex are easier to use for my injury, and are helping me to recover functionality. They are comfortable and, I agree with Lisa that they mar my metal less. Very glad I ordered these!
After watching several instructional videos on Beaducation and seeing these pliers in action I ordered them. They are my favorite pliers now. They are well made and precise. They are not heavy yet are solid. I have average sized hands with slightly limited hand strength. My best pliers for my wire work!
I love the shape of these chain nose pliers. I will be adding more of them to complete my Tronex collection.
A great upgrade from the cheap craft store pliers I was previously using. Love these strong pliers and their ease of use. Highly recommend this brand-- definitely worth the price.
I have always used the best quality tools I could find, but have had certain issues with some of the pliers I use. Hoping to eliminate these problems I opted to try these pilers and I can't express just how much I love them. Right away after using themI ordered a second pair. I am thrilled with these pliers and hope they last for a long time.
This is an awesome tool! Worth the price
I am new to jewelry making and was very excited when I checked my mailbox this morning and the tools I ordered from Beaducation had arrived. I tried them out as soon as I could and was delighted by how comfortable they felt in my hand and how beautifully they were made. These Tronex chain nose pliers, round nose pliers and razor flush cutters will add much joy to my endeavors with jewelry making. Thank you, Beaducation, for carrying such great tools and having such wonderful service!

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Activity at U.S. factories was red-hot in November, the Institute for Supply Management said Monday.
The ISM manufacturing index rose to 62.8 percent last month from 57.0 percent in October. This was the highest level since December 1983. Read full report
The new orders index rose to 73.7 percent in November from 64.3 percent in October, also the highest reading since December 1983.
The manufacturing sector is exhibiting "much more of a growth mentality across the board," said Norbert Ore, chair of the ISM manufacturing survey committee and a purchasing manager with Georgia-Pacific Corp.
The report was stronger than expected. The consensus forecast of Wall Street economists was for the ISM index to rise to 57.9 percent. See full story.
Readings over 50 percent indicate that most manufacturing firms surveyed said business was getting better -- or at least, no worse. The ISM index is considered one of the most reliable leading indicators for the factory sector and, by extension, the broader economy.
Stocks gained and bonds fell on the report, lifting a Fed-sensitive 2-year Treasury note to briefly revisit the 2003 high at 2.14 percent.The strong ISM report in November had significant implications, economists said.
First, the report suggests above-trend economic growth in the next two quarters.
Secondly, economists said there is now "upside-risk" to the market consensus forecast of 141,000 new jobs added in November.
Building a case for rate hikes
And finally, the strong ISM report could push the Federal Reserve to remove the wording "considerable period" from the FOMC statement - indicating that Fed rate hikes might not be too far off.
"This is all about a long period of very low interest rates, which have done their job well. The Fed now has to reverse course, and soon," said Ian Shepherdson, U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.
Reversing 37 months of contraction, the ISM employment index was positive in November, rising to 51.0 percent from October's 47.7 percent. Ore said the hiring improvement surprised him because he had anticipated a longer lag in employment even as the other components improved.
The production index rose to 68.3 percent in November from 62.6 percent in October, the highest since November 1983.
Ore said the increase in orders was the result of stronger demand, not just the need to replenish lean inventories.
The backlog of orders rose to 59.0 percent from 53.5 percent, while November's inventories rose to 50.0 percent from 44.5 percent. Supplier deliveries rose to 56.0 percent from 53.9 percent, the Tempe, Ariz.-based ISM said.
Eighteen of 20 industries reported growth in November.
Prices paid rose to 64.0 percent from 58.5 percent.
Declining dollar helps
Ore said taken on the surface, the surge in prices might send up inflation warnings. But he said slack capacity must be taken into account and was tempering the inflationary impact of rising prices.
The export sector cooled slightly in November, falling to 57.9 percent from 59.6 percent.
Still, Ore said the organization's membership has noted help from a declining dollar - 77 percent say they export the goods they manufacture and so are impacted by the dollar, which is trading at an all-time low against the euro and a three-year low against the yen.
He said manufacturers are reporting new business abroad unseen "in quite some time."
Manufacturing is "much more competitive. This is a big issue."
Ore credited some of the improved attitudes among purchasing managers to post-Iraq war relief. That said, he added that ongoing geopolitical tensions present an unknown risk to the industry, particularly if consumer confidence wanes.
In a separate report, the Commerce Department said construction spending rose 0.9 percent in October following a 1.3 percent gain in September. See full story.

Grupo Ecológico de la Costa Verde, A.C.
Unfortunately for the marine turtles, pressures from coastal development, poaching, shrimp fishing, and tourism reduced a population of tens of thousands to less than 200 nesting turtles per year on the
San Pancho beaches.
Lucky for the turtles, Frank Smith (group director) was retiring from the U.S. Forestry Service and found out about the problem. The year after he retired he gave himself a new job...
During the spring of 1992 Grupo Ecológico de la Costa Verde, A.C. was organized and the first marine turtle nursery in San Francisco (a.k.a. San Pancho), Nayarit was built. By June of that year protection of Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtle eggs had begun.
In April of 1993, Grupo Ecológico de la Costa Verde, A.C. received authority from the Mexican Government, SEMARNAT (Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources), to begin the first environmental group in the State of Nayarit. The group's purpose follows according to the group's website:
"Protection of the environment with special interest in the preservation of the marine turtles as well as all other endangered species of flora and fauna along the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
The preservation and improvement of wildlife habitats with special interest in coastal forest, wetlands, beaches, and rivers.
Provide environmental education programs emphasizing environmental accountability and preservation.
Protection of visual and natural resources of the coastal region by introducing alternative lifestyles, including but not limited to acceptable methods of fishing, farming, building, and landscaping, that will in the long term minimize negative impact on the environment.
Assisting government agencies and other environmental groups by developing plans and programs designed to protect in perpetuity the terrestrial and marine environment for wildlife, ecological and aesthetic purposes beneficial to the public interest.
Improving the development of communities by providing as necessary trash containers, community clean up campaign, care and maintenance of parks, and other programs and plans as required to insure public health and welfare.
Financial support comes from the sale of the San Francisco Home Directory, T-shirts, public donations, and from Frank's retirement. All donations and sales go directly toward the Group's environmental objectives.
The large scale protection of Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtle eggs has caused, within a 24 year period, the turtle population to increase from 200 to an average of about 1,400 nests per year.
Volunteer Requirements
Time frame
Our marine turtle program begins at the onset of the Olive Ridley nesting season, generally around June 1st, and ends around November 15th.
To be accepted volunteers must stay with the program for at least two months and pay their entire expense.
No special skills or education is necessary, only the willingness to work in adverse weather conditions during the night.
Volunteers receive no salary and will be responsible for their entire expenses including food for about $120 to $170, and lodging at $300 dollars per month per person. The Group will find volunteers housing for families that fits their needs well before they arrive. In most cases volunteers will share a house. Volunteers with young children are asked to rent a house near our nursery and can hire house keepers, cooks, and baby sitters for $10 to $15 a day.
Our work
Collect nests from local beaches and relocate to the nursery between the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 am, depending on time of nesting season.
Monitor and regulate nursery temperatures, the hatching and releasing of hatchlings, and the cleaning of nest boxes.
Keep the greenhouse nursery in good condition around the clock.
Maintain computer records on nests collected, temperatures, and the cleaning of nests.
Maintain and operate an all-terrain-vehicle, (sometimes during periods of heavy rain and very poor road conditions).

Every Single Selfie Kylie Jenner Has Posted On Instagram In 2017
Because it's Christmas and why the elf not?
Kylie Jenner and her Kylie Jenner lips are the kweens of taking the perfect selfie. A single snap can pull in millions of likes for just a shot of her face. It's a great face but still – millions? What does that say about our society? What does it say about social media? What does it really take for someone to give you that like.
So we did a super thorough and scientific research project that basically involved us looking at every single selfie she has taken in 2017 with no other outcome than us being even more obsessed with her than we were and forgetting why we started.
The magic of Kylie…
January 4th
Kylie started the year with a snap of her and BFF Jordyn Woods on vacay in bikinis while we all went back to work. Thanks bbz.

"I've had what I thought of as the worst phobia possible. I had a chronic fear of needles all my life. I've always had to be restrained & sedated. After seeing Germana twice, I went in for blood work twice in one day, by myself, and had my blood drawn. I did take some valium, but I know I can do it without any next time. I'm no longer stressed out to the point of being sick for a week."

Committed to Health and Healing
Most of you reading this are either very aware or becoming more aware of just how important the role is that food plays on our health and vitality as we move through life. Our needs will change constantly but the fact that our body relies on the nourishment we get from what we put in our mouth will always be of utmost importance.
I have seen many people make remarkable changes to all areas of their health and well being but the story you are about to read is incredible and demonstrates just how powerful food can be in our journey to optimal health. Thank you to the very committed and beautiful Sally for telling her story.
In Sally's words, this is her story…
My Mum worked hard to give me the best life, to do everything she could for me to live a healthy, happy life. I didn't start talking until I was 4 years old and then it was very limited sound. For many years we thought I had Dyspraxia and every time we saw a doctor, we were told I had all sort of learning difficulties no one know really knew what was wrong. We were told I may only ever have about 10 to 15% of my speech but that didn't stop us, we were not giving up! I see things and think differently in my eyes and mind, it's very hard when I try to tell someone something and I know what I want to say but am unable to express it or they don't understand the words or know what I'm saying. For many years when I was young, my mouth would move and no sound would come out, I felt frustrated that I couldn't let mum or people know what I wanted to say. We were told to learn AUSLAN - Australia Sign Language as I would never talk and had a slim chance of finishing school…again, we were not giving up!
Growing up, I had chiropractic care, we were careful of chemicals in our home and we were eating very well. I had a good, healthy life but just needed to work a little harder than everyone else at school. I was very quiet and keep to myself a lot because of my condition, all that I ever wanted, was to live a normal life like everyone else, I didn't want to be different. I was worried people would not understand me and I always thought 'Why me?'. It wasn't until I left high school (YES! I completed school!) that my life truly changed. I learnt more about health, well being, chemical free living, finding my passion and what I'm really meant to be doing on this earth. I was determined to keep on going. It was hard sometimes and there were times that I felt like I wanted to give up, but I just kept on going and pushing through. However, I lost the spark in my eye.
In 2010, we heard about a new genetic test and we decided to book it. In January 2011 I went to Brisbane and had the test done, a day or 2 before my 18th Birthday we received the results back with a diagnosis of 7q11.23 duplicate as it doesn't have a name yet and is very rare. This condition effects your speech, muscle tone, digestive issues, thinning of the artery walls and anxiety. Now we know for sure why I have speech difficulties and anxiety so with this information we started to research more about 7q11.23.
This was the turning point in my life. This was where nutrition really came into effect. Through our research we came across a local Nutritionist called Cyndi O'Meara. When Cyndi O' Meara launched her Functional Nutrition program, I knew I wanted to enrol. I began studying through the program and by doing this course I met my Practitioner/Health Coach Elspeth. I started to see Elspeth to finally get on top of how to make sure the 7q11.23 doesn't control my life but is simply something that I have. We started with a GAPS consultation, I had DNA and Microbiome tests done, we explored these results, found I don't keep enough B12 and folate in my system which is also part of the duplication syndrome as well as having too much inflammation and a gut that was not functioning optimally, so I then went on a journey to heal my gut.
It has been a long two-year journey so far, but it has been truly worth it, I have come so far. Realising the impact certain 'healthy' foods can have on me personally, has been eye opening and given me a deep understanding of just how individual optimal nutrition is.
There have been many changes to my diet and lifestyle the last couple of years. Over this time, I have really become fully aware of how important everything that my Mum did for me was, how it had affected myself and my condition in so many different and positive ways. I have been through daily highs and lows through saddest, loneliness, fears, obstacles, self- doubt and happy times. However, I knew I never wanted to return to the place of fears and loneliness again, this made me even more determined to create the life I wanted.
While working through my dietary changes and studying with the Functional Nutrition Academy, I also worked with an Integrated therapist, Kinesiologist, EFT Practitioner and I signed up to a personal development course looking into self-care and self-love as I had spent years not thinking very kindly to myself or my body. I learnt about myself in more ways then I could imagine; physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
Today I now have 90% to 95% of my speech. I completed year 12 with the help of a learning support teacher and even won awards at my high school. I have a live blood analysis every 6 months and my blood cells are perfect nice, round and no inflammation in my blood. I have learnt to fall in love with myself, I have never been this happy and smiling before. I am ready to be myself, my true self. I have even started a Facebook page around my love of fermented foods - Fermented Foods by Sally.
I am truly proud of where I have come. I believe that through this holistic approach with a focus on and commitment to my individual nutrition, I have been able to grow, connect to my inner self and be the person that I was meant to be. I am ready to move on to a new exciting chapter of my life to shine and be my true self.
I have shared my story with you, in hopes to inspire others to look into their own health and wellness as I believe everyone has the potential to and deserves to, live a life full of love and vitality.

I'm looking for a setting to change the length of the frame from 3F to something else. I scoured the manual on the Famitracker Wiki, went through all the options manually, and came up empty-handed. I also Googled and couldn't find anything referring to my issue. I read on a post on the old forum that it's possible, but it wasn't mentioned where the setting is, so I'm assuming that I must be missing something. Any help is appreciated, as I am using this post as a last resort. Thank you!
