Re: Sundial
We did it the same way that Dawn just explained. It worked great, and then we were able to compare the next day to see that the times we'd marked the previous day were accurate. It was really fun!

Re: question about mfw kindergarten
The phonics moves at a very gentle pace, but you will have a child who is confident and fluent in CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words by the end of the year. My son came into the program knowing all his letters and sounds, and he could slowly sound out CVC words. He is becoming more fluent with pr...

Choosing K - After doing another K program?
My one in K this year is not reading yet. He does know most of the sounds but can't blend. I am wondering if just the K basic package would help him.

March 23, 2009 Paul Dickson to Talk About His "Baseball Dictionary"
Author's Work Called "A Staggering Piece of Scholarship" by Wall Street Journal
Press Contact: Guy Lamolinara (202) 707-9217
Public Contact: Center for the Book (202) 707-5221
"The Dickson Baseball Dictionary" by Paul Dickson has been called an indispensable resource for hard-core sports fans, as well as anyone newly interested in the national pastime. Dickson will discuss his book during a Books & Beyond program sponsored by the Center for the Book and the Humanities and Social Sciences Division on Wednesday, April 15, at noon in the Mumford Room, sixth floor, Madison Building, 101 Independence Ave. S.E. The event is free and open to the public, and no tickets are required. "The Dickson Baseball Dictionary" has become an essential resource for those who love the game. Drawing on dozens of 19th- and early 20th-century periodicals, as well as contemporary sources, the dictionary's illuminating definitions trace the earliest appearances of terms both well-known and obscure. More than 25 years in the making, with the help of more than 300 baseball and lexical experts, this new third edition expands the second edition by more than 30 percent, to more than 10,000 terms with 18,000 individual entries. The book introduces words and phrases from around the world of baseball, including those introduced by Latin American ballplayers and statistical expressions relating to fantasy baseball. Packed with more than 250 photos—many rare and previously unpublished —"The Dickson Baseball Dictionary" is for fans of all ages. Sports Illustrated has called Dickson's book "absorbing and enlightening." Dickson has spoken at the Library about his work before, having delivered the inaugural Judith P. Austin Lecture and, with co-author Thomas Allen, discussed their book, "The Bonus Army: An American Epic." "The Dickson Baseball Dictionary" will be available for $35 during the program, and Dickson will autograph copies. The Center for the Book was created in 1977 to stimulate public interest in books and reading. For information about its programs, publications and national reading-promotion networks, visit www.loc.gov/cfbook/. The Library of Congress, the nation's oldest federal cultural institution, is the world's preeminent reservoir of knowledge, providing unparalleled collections and integrated resources to Congress and the American people.

Cosmetics Compact: Sunscreen shenanigans and questions over SPF tests
Cosmetics Compact brings you the highlights of the site's top stories, in miniature. This week we shed some light on recent discussions over the rigour and reproducibility of the SPF test.
Earlier this month consumer watchdog Which? released its annual report that claimed the SPF value on the label may not match the SPF of the product inside. It puts this down to an SPF test method that is open to interpretation.
The industry has fought back saying that the method is clear and it is fearful that the report has planted a seed of doubt in the minds of consumers who may turn their back on sun care.

Exploria Stadium (Orlando City Stadium)
|25 500
|3,800 (Standing room)
|United States of America
|Orlando City SC
|16/10/2014 - 24/02/2017
|$ 155 million
|Barton Malow
|655 West Church Street, Orlando, Florida 32805, USA
Description: Exploria Stadium
New soccer stadium in Orlando was planned since 2013, when a new MLS team was in the making here. First the building was to be financed significantly with taxpayer money, but after such scheme was rejected, the newly-created Orlando City SC took all of the funding upon themselves.
A block of land just west of downtown was selected for the project, with only one building occupying the land. But that one building, a small church, refused to relocate and so the stadium was moved westwards, forcing demolition of Parramore Avenue, which would have ran through the centre of the stadium.
Construction symbolically began in late 2014, but in practice it took off in 2015. With just a slight delay compared to initial plans, the project was delivered in time for the 2017 MLS season, in February.
Interestingly, after groundbreaking it was still planned for 19,000 people, but Orlando City's popularity during first MLS season (played temporarily at nearby Citrus Bowl) resulted in instant expansion of the stands by addition of three corner sections and an upper tier in the south. This raised capacity to 25,500, while the cost went from $110 million to $155 million.
The seating layout is fairly typical, with a slightly sunken field (2.5m). This created enough room to build 12 rows in a continuous lower ring, accessible straight from the street level. On most sides the seating bowl has two tiers, with the exception of the north end. Here a safe standing single-tiered terrace was created for the most vocal fans, with organized groups being allowed to bring flags, drums and even controlled pyrotechnics.

Authorities said they arrested an 18-year-old iPhone app developer on charges of felony computer tampering after he unleashed code that threatened to take down emergency 911 systems in a large swath of Arizona and possibly other states.
Meetkumar Hiteshbhai Desai stands accused of publishing Web links that caused iPhones to repeatedly dial 911, according to a release published Thursday by Arizona's Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. On Tuesday night, officials alleged, the 911 system operated by the Surprise, Arizona, police department received more than 100 hang-up calls in a matter of minutes. The volume allegedly put authorities "in immediate danger of losing service to their switches." The emergency systems for the nearby Peoria Police Department and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office also received a large number of repeated calls. Agencies in California and Texas were also affected, authorities said.
The release said the 911-dialing code was hosted on a site with the name "Meet Desai." A link posted on the TheHackSpot YouTube channel and one or more Twitter accounts then encouraged people to click on the link. Authorities said they found evidence it had been clicked 1,849 times. In an e-mail, the operator of the YouTube channel said: "The link does not contain anything harmful, and I am not associated with any type of personal hacking. Just a fun prank that many other big YouTube channels covered as well."

Arsenal demand answers from UEFA over Baku Europa League final
PUBLISHED: 12:17 16 May 2019 | UPDATED: 12:17 16 May 2019
PA Archive/PA Images
Arsenal have demanded answers from UEFA as to why Baku was chosen to host the Europa League final on May 29, with many of the club's supporters unable to attend the game.
Only 6,000 tickets were made available to the club, despite Baku's Olympic Stadium being able to hold more than 68,000 fans, with travel costs also causing problems for supporters.
Arsenal have issued a damning statement regarding the location of the final against Chelsea, and demanded answers from UEFA as to why Baku was chosen. Read on for the club's full statement.
"Everyone at Arsenal is delighted to have reached the Uefa Europa League final and we are all very much looking forward to the match against Chelsea on Wednesday, May 29.
You may also want to watch:
"However, we are bitterly disappointed by the fact that due to transport limitations Uefa can only make a maximum of 6,000 tickets available to Arsenal for a stadium with a capacity of well over 60,000. Time will tell if it is even possible for 6,000 Arsenal fans to attend the match, given how extreme the travel challenges are.
"We have 45,000 season-ticket holders and for so many fans to miss out due to Uefa selecting a final venue with such limited transport provision is quite simply not right. The reality is that whoever reached the final would not be able to meet demand from their supporters.
"We have received many complaints from our fans about this and we fully share their concerns.
"On behalf of our fans, we would like to understand the criteria by which venues are selected for finals, and also how supporter requirements are taken into account as part of this.
"Moving forward we would urge Uefa to ensure that supporter logistics and requirements are a key part of any future decisions for final venues as what has happened this season is unacceptable, and cannot be repeated. We would be happy to join any future discussions to avoid this situation happening again."

A little bit about me...
I have been an Holistic Massage Therapist & Aromatherapist since qualifying in 1997 and Reiki Practitioner since 2000 and during this time have worked with many different client groups, from restless babies with colic, teenagers with body dysmorphia to adults with anxiety & depression, bereavement, chronic back problems, arthritis and many more conditions and complex issues.
I offer Aromatherapy, Holistic Massage and Reiki Treatments in the comfort of your own home, within a 20 mile radius of Exeter, Devon.
I specialise in providing Therapeutic Massage, Aromatherapy and Reiki to the Elderly, those living with Dementia, Cancer and Special & Complex Needs, in a care home setting or clients' own homes.
Dementia is a condition very close to my heart as my Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's nine years ago. I cared for her full-time at home for over 2 years until her condition became advanced to the point where she needed more specialist 24 hour care in a nursing home, where she is happy and settled. I feel that this has given me a good understanding from a personal viewpoint as well as a professional one of the ongoing process and transition that each person may face on their own unique dementia journey.
It is so very important to be with each person empathically in their own version of their world.
I love my work and feel it is an immense honour to share time with my clients, to hold their hands and look into their eyes, knowing that they would have held and seen so many things in their lifetime, to stand with them in the moment wherever they are on their life journey.
It has been while doing my work that I have realised that we can never underestimate the impact that we can have on others and the positive power of nurturing touch that these treatments can have on an individual's physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing, is truly a wonderful thing.
You'll find more information about my qualifications, the therapies themselves, how I work and my privacy policy on my website but there's no substitute for some human interaction, I'd love to speak with you by phone or email. So whatever your needs, or to get more information and find out more, please feel free to call me on

Warm wishes

My Qualifications, Professional Membership & Insurance

I qualified as a Reiki Practitioner in 2000 and Baby Massage Instructor in 2001. I have an up to date Certificate of Accreditation, completing the MASCED (Melanoma & Skin Cancer Early Detection) Accreditation Programme, refreshed yearly.
I enjoy broadening my knowledge of different conditions and keeping abreast of research and advances in treatments for these conditions, completing further online study: The Many Faces of Dementia-UCL; Caring for Older People-Deakin University; Parkinson's Disease-University of Birmingham; Creating Moments of Joy for People with Alzheimer's-Purdue University; Psychology & Mental Health-University of Liverpool; Young People & their Mental Health-University of Groningen; Developing Clinical Empathy-St. George's University of London; The Science of Wellbeing-Yale University; Dementia & the Arts-UCL; Psychosocial & Spiritual Aspects of Palliative Care-University of Colorado System; Validation-Validation Training Institute.

The Forest Zone is one of the few zones in Modern Grand Kingdom and it is where Mystic Monkey comes from.
A very long time ago the zone was once two seperate forests known seperately as the Deep Woods and Shrouded Forest. However as time went by the seperate woods and the forest grew together as one forest and in modern times became a zone simply known as the Forest Zone. The settlements located in these forests (that you can run by in Sonic and the Black Knight) have also come together to form the Town Stage.
Town Stage
One of the major towns around Forest Zone thats been around since ancient times. Like it's predecessor settlements, most of the homes are built on platforms up on support beams and made around the large trees. Some bigger than others, some of better quality than others. The Town stage is not named yet, but it was home to Mystic Monkey and his mother.
Just as it's namesake, it is generally a large deciduous forest simular to ones found in Britain or Europe.
Throughout time it has natual terrain structures which classify it as a zone such as the ground or tree's forming loop-de-loops or grindable vines. This could be due to two seperate parts of the forest merging as one.
Originally it was going to be Jungle Zone as Mystic's location of origin (plus the fact the best place to find a monkey is in a jungle), but as user:Mystic Monkey wanted to go with a more British theme he chose to have Mystic's origin around a modern version of Grand Kingdom but with zones. Grand Kingdom's Forest Zone is simular to South Island's Jungle Zone, thus why the zone was named after the noun.

Sport at NBCS
Comprehensive and balanced program of sporting activities
At NBCS we aim to provide students with a comprehensive and balanced program of sporting activities. In doing so, we foster and develop students' character, social relationships and sportsmanship, embodying our Christian ethos.
Our sports program gives students the opportunity to acquire and develop a range of skills, physical abilities and attitudes that help develop a sense of team and school spirit. This is a solid foundation for a life-long, active lifestyle.
There is also the opportunity for particularly gifted students to develop expertise and discipline that will help them to pursue representative sporting commitments beyond school.
At every level of sport we require students to act with a high level of sportsmanship, on and off the sporting field. The NBCS Sport Code of Conduct has been developed to provide practical guidelines that reinforce the positive elements of student participation in sport.

According to the 2016 National Health Assessment by the American College Health Association, over 60% of students felt overwhelming anxiety at some point in the past 12 months. Additionally, over 30% of students reported feeling so depressed it was difficult for them to function, and approximately 10% said they had seriously considered suicide in the past year.
Faculty members, staff members, RA's and student leaders can play an important role in ensuring students experiencing distress receive the help and support they need. Working with students on a daily basis provides a unique opportunity to notice warning signs of mental distress and to point them in the right direction for help. But how do you know what to look for and what to do when you notice warning signs?
The University Counseling Center is offering At-Risk, a new online simulation designed to help you identify and approach students in mental distress and, if necessary, refer them to our University Counseling Center. By completing this simulation, you will be more comfortable and better prepared to help these at-risk students get the assistance they need. There are two versions of this training – one for staff/faculty, and one for students.
In these highly interactive simulations, you will have the opportunity to engage in simulated conversations with virtual students. You will receive coaching and feedback along the way to help you in your conversations with students. The simulations takes about 40-45 minutes to complete, but your progress is automatically saved along the way if you need to stop and resume later.
The training is listed in the Suicide Prevention Resource Center and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's joint Best Practices Registry for suicide prevention programs. Research shows that over 96% of users surveyed reported satisfaction with the training and agreed that their colleagues or peers should also take the training. Research also shows that users show significant increases in their confidence, skills and behaviors related to having conversations with students of concern and referring them to appropriate resources.

Organic Lawn Care Programme
Go Organic with our 100% natural lawn care programme
There is a growing demand for organic lawn care in the UK and we can provide a 100% organic solution with our tried and tested Organic lawn care programme to keep your lawn green and healthy throughout the year without using any chemicals or synthetic fertilisers.
Organic lawn care can be a great solution for your lawn and is especially effective on lawns suffering from poor soil conditions, or simply because you have taken a personal decision to care for your lawn in an environmentally friendly way as possible.
How does a Organic lawn care programme work?
An organic lawn care programme is very similar to our standard annual lawn care programme, but we use 100% organic fertilisers and organic moss control products. The only thing that cannot be done organically in a lawn care programme is to kill the weeds in your lawn. So how do we deal with those unwanted weeds? The simple answer is we ask you to dig them out by hand and then once we start the programme the lawn grasses will thicken up and help to prevent weeds from establishing or becoming dominant in the future. This could be further improved with mechanical treatments via the renovation process of scarification, aeration and over-seeding to ensure the lawn has plenty of young fresh grass which will produce a thick healthy sward. If weeds are a big problem, when deciding to go organic, some people decide to allow us to carry out a one-off non-organic selective herbicide treatment initially to get the weeds under control and then they are much easier to manage by digging them out as they appear in the future.
- All products are 100% organic from natural resources. We use refined Turkey manure and other naturally sourced products for slow release fertiliser and a natural thatch-busting digester for moss control.
- Organic products have no negative affect on the environment.
- 100% pet and human friendly immediately after use.
- Excellent at improving soil quality over time, helping the CEC (cation exchange capacity) of the soil.
- Zero scorch potential.
- An organic lawn care programme costs roughly twice as much as a standard programme because the products are more expensive and need to be applied at a significantly higher volume per application.
- Results are likely to be slower and the lawn will not green-up as fast, but over time the lawn will significantly improve.
- Weeds need to be dug out by hand as there are currently no organic selective weed control products available.
A typical example of an Organic annual Lawn Care programme
1. Early Spring
(March – April)
- Slow release Organic Spring fertiliser using refined Turkey manure
- Moss control using thatch busting bacteria digester
Early Summer
(May – June)
- Slow release Organic Summer fertiliser using refined Turkey manure
Late Summer
(July – August)
- Slow release Organic Summer fertiliser using refined Turkey manure
(September – December)
- Zero PK Organic high potassium fertiliser
- Moss control using thatch busting bacteria digester
(January – February)
- Slow release Organic winter fertiliser using refined Turkey manure
Mechanical services to assist Organic Lawn Care
No matter what type of annual lawn care programme you choose you lawn will also greatly benefit from mechanical forms of treatment to help the grass sward thrive. Yearly aeration is recommended for all lawns and for those lawns that have become a bit tired we recommend our Autumn Renovation Combo package of Scarification, Aeration and Over-seeding.
We also provide an increasingly popular lawn top-dressing service using 100% Organic soil improver. The top dressing is a formulation of compost derived from well-rotted and finely processed garden compost. Not only does it feed the lawn and iron out minor imperfections it also puts much needed organic matter back into the soil which in-turn produces a healthy balance of bacteria in the soil which assists root development.
Greatly improves the soil and root structure by relieving compaction, root pruning, penetration of sub-surface thatch allowing vital nutrients and water into the soil as well as assisting vital bacterial activity.

Removes harmful excess thatch from your lawn. Thatch is a build up of surface and sub-surface dead grass, grass clippings & moss that can accumulate over many years.

It is essential to occasionally regenerate your lawn by over-seeding, especially if Aeration or Scarification has taken place, which will have created soil contact and a favourable environment for the new seed to develop successfully.

Top Dressing
This process is carried out using a mixture of fine sand and loam where a lawn has required heavy renovation and over-seeding or where a particularly even surface is required for applications such as a sports pitch or ornamental lawn.

Edward Lear did not invent the limerick, a form that has been traced back to England in the early eighteenth century, and limerick was not the word he used (the term not being documented until the 1890s). Lear called them nonsenses, but he did fashion them into a literary form that made them famous.
There was a Young Person of Smyrna,
Whose grandmother threatened to burn her;
But she seized the cat, and said 'Granny burn that
You incongruous old woman of Smyrna'
There was a Old Man of Peru,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he tore off his hair, and behaved like a bear,
That intrinsic Old Man of Peru.
There was a young lady in white,
Who looked out at the depths of the night;
But the birds of the air, filled her heart with despair,
And oppressed that young lady in white.
There was an Old Man of Cape Horn,
Who wished he had never been born;
So he sat on a chair, 'till he died of despair,
That dolorous Man of Cape Horn.
There was an Old Person of Gretna,
Who rushed down the crater of Etna;
When they said, 'Is it hot?' he replied 'No it's not'
That mendacious Old Person of Gretna.
There was an Old Lady of Prague,
Whose language was horribly vague;
When they said, 'Are these caps?' she answered, 'Perhaps!'
That oracular Lady of Prague.
Lear's nonsenses are light ditties formed of a single sentence, and darkly anarchic. These six examples gambol their way without further ado towards torture, self harm, melancholy, death and suicide. The nonsense is propelled with energetic haste and a refusal to linger ending with a final snap. The sharpness of the telling adjective in the last line, incongruous, intrinsic, oppressed, dolorous, mendacious oracular, wobble the ballast of the whole sentence. The mood is made unpredictable and bestows an elusive judgement. (Oracular means relating to the oracle, if this lady of Prague with her linguistic vagueness is the oracle, what hope is there?) The final line of a Lear limerick is a variation of the first, ending on the same word giving a circular effect. The destination circles its return to the original point of departure casting a reflection backwards over the whole. The final line is then read differently from the first: little has changed and everything has.
There was an old person of Rimini
Who said, "Gracious! Goodness! O Gimini!
When they said, "Please be still!" she ran down a hill
And was never once heard of at Rimini.
There was an Old Person of Hyde,
Who walked by the shore with his bride,
Till a crab who came near fill'd their bosoms with fear,
And they said, 'Would we never left Hyde!'
There was a Old Person of Rhodes,
Who strongly objected to toads;
He paid several cousins, to catch them by dozens,
That futile Old Person of Rhodes.
There was an Old Man on a hill.
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down in his grandmother's gown,
Which adorned that Old Man on a hill.
The protagonist is never assigned the specificity of a name. Their key attribute is an attachment to place: Lahore, Madras, Rhodes, Hyde, Ems, Cape Horn, Peru, Smyrna, Dunblane, Rimini, Gretna, New York. Their affiliation with place raises the suggestion that they are the famous inhabitant, and moreover have been made famous by what happened in the nonsense. But the protagonists seem to have an unsustainable relation to their location: does living in Rhodes breed a hostility to toads? Why should an inhabitant of Rimini not be unstill? Why should a man of Peru act like a bear? The relationship between person and place seems, to say the least, arbitrary. There is a whole world of nonsense here crossing borders with ease, and an epidemic of odd comic happenings popping up in cities far and near. The 'of' limits the person to their town, but these are characters often attempting to flee. Some of the inhabitants seem to take flight with curious, reckless abandon showing an urge to hide, run or even die as they embark on a journey of impossibility. Others are rooted to the spot and wrecked with inaction.
There was an Old Man in a Marsh,
Whose manners were futile and harsh;
He sate on a log, and sang songs to a frog,
That instructive Old Man in a Marsh.
There was an Old Man of Madras,
Who rode on a cream-coloured ass;
But the length of its ears so promoted his fears,
That it killed that Old Man of Madras.
There was an Old Person of Ems,
Who casually fell in the Thames;
And when he was found, they said he was drowned,
That unlucky Old Person of Ems.
There was an Old Man of Lahore,
Who heard the loud waterfall roar;
But in going to look, he fell into a brook,
And he never was heard of no more.
These nonsenses are peopled by odd protagonists acting bizarrely wandering alone in a nonsense land in bohemian conditions. Some are contemplative, musical, joyous and gentle, others wild and violent. These are verses of unlikely pairings: man and bird, man and frog, man and ass, young woman and homicidal grandmother. People are defiant, some don't care, others simply sit on chairs inflexibly staring at birds in the air, some refuse aid, others evade safety, for some their life is defined by misadventure others are trapped forever within their place. There are exhibitionists riding on asses, tearing out hair, singing to frogs, behaving like bears, running up and down hills, escaping from crabs in out-and-out full-on futile action.
'They', in the third line, are a lurking and malign presence:
There was an Old Man who screamed out
Whenever they knocked him about;
So they took off his boots, and fed him with fruits,
And continued to knock him about.
There was an Old Man with a gong,
Who bumped at it all the day long;
But they called out "Oh law! You're a horrid old bore"
So they smashed that Old Man with a gong.
There was an old person of Sestri
Who sat himself down in the vestry,
When they said "You are wrong!" – he merely said "Bong!"
That repulsive old person of Sestri.
There was an Old Man of Whitehaven,
Who danced a quadrille with a raven;
But they said – 'It's absurd, to encourage this bird'
So they smashed that Old Man of Whitehaven.
There was an Old Man of Melrose,
Who walked on the tips of his toes;
But they said, 'It ain't pleasant, to see you at present,
You stupid Old Man of Melrose.'
There was an Old man of Dunblane,
Who greatly resembled a Crane;
But they said, – 'Is it wrong, since your legs are so long,
To request you won't stay in Dunblane?'
'They' say he is wrong, 'they' call him a bore, 'they' ask him to leave town, 'they' knock him about, 'they' smash the absurd. If violence and horror, murder and death are lurking never far away it is the confrontational 'they' who are administering it. Why can't 'they' leave people to resemble cranes, or dance quadrilles with ravens, or walk on tip toes, or sit in vestries all day? When 'they' from Ems said he was drowned, are they lying? Is the Old Person of Ems unlucky not because he fell into the Thames but because 'they' gave false information? 'They' smash, offer unsolicited advice, ask impertinent questions, run you out of town.'They' are the puritans, the realists, the sensible, the right thinking ones, the public, the mob; 'they' are plotting their deleterious challenge to the non sensible. The gentle eccentrics are running against conformity and are under attack from the pettifogging crowd. If we are at one with the protagonists 'they' are the enemies of romance, eccentricity, curiosity. It is 'they' who have the esprit de corps and seek to intolerantly impose rules to maintain order and sense. Lear's nonsenses both recognise and defy the rules. Lear's protagonists on the other hand seem to be in full revolt against the shrewdness of worldly wisdom. The sensible protect, discourage, avoid risky enterprise and act with prudence. They are of this world
There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who watched his wife making a stew;
But once by mistake, in a stove she did bake
That unfortunate Man of Peru.
There was an old man of New York,
Who murdered himself with a fork;
But nobody cried – tho' he very soon died, –
That unlucky old man of New York
There was an Old Man on some rock
Who shut his wife up in a box;
When she said, 'Let me out,' he exclaimed, 'Without doubt,
You will pass all your life in that box.'.
There was an Old Person of Tartary,
Who divided his jugular artery;
But he screeched to his wife, and she said "Oh my life!
Your death will be felt by all Tartary!'
There was an Old Person of Stroud,
Who was horribly jammed in a crowd;
Some she slew with a kick, some she scrunched with a stick,
That impulsive Old Person of Stroud.
There was an Old Person of Cromer,
Who stood on one leg to read Homer;
When he found he grew stiff, he jumped over a cliff,
Which concluded that Person of Cromer.
Men and women come to terrible ends: baked in ovens, trapped in boxes, drowned, smashed, kicked by the mob, bled to death, threatened with arson by grandmothers, plunged to their conclusions. (Did the person from Cromer jump up and over or down the cliff? Is his conclusion death or merely a cessation of his reading?) Life seems to be full of mishap and danger as routines turn to chaos. What have these wretched people done to deserve such fates? If this is a work for children, which is how the work is presented, it is a study of incomprehension and adults in crisis. This is a world that delivers melancholy, murder, drowning, panic, harm and suicide in a light, breezy style. There seems to be no evidence of God's presence or justice here. These are the Learical ballads, where absurdity is of the essence.
There was an Old Man in a tree,
Whose whiskers were lovely to see;
But the birds of the air pluk'd them perfectly bare,
To make themselves nests in that tree.
There was an Old Man of Spithead,
Who opened the window, and said,-
'Fil-jomble, fil-jumble, fil-rumble-come-jumble!'
That doubtful Old Man of Spithead.
There was an Old Person of Bangor,
Whose face was distorted with anger!
He tore off his boots, and subsisted on roots,
That borascible Person of Bangor.
Borascible is an invented word. With portmanteau terms, neologisms, gleeful alliteration and tongue-rolling words, Lear favoured wordplay in much of his nonsense: ombliferous, slobaciously, flumpetty, scroobious, runcible, purpledicular, spongetaneous. This is a world of verbal liberty and joyous inventiveness with a poet's feeling for words born of melody, colour and tone. "Nonsense is the breath of my nostrils" Lear wrote. Here language is alive and protean, with musical words within musical phrases that enchant. "Bosh requires a good deal of care…and incapable of any meaning but one of sheer nonsense". Lear stated "Nonsense pure and absolute, [has] been my aim throughout". He aimed at a rupture of the logic of the rational world by standing it on its head. Lear's nonsenses are not the opening of a window onto another world, but a particular way of seeing, or failing to see, our own.
They went to sea in a Sieve they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea!
And when the Sieve turned round and round,
And everyone cried, 'You'll all be drowned!'
They called aloud, "Our Sieve ain't big,
But we don't care a button! We don't care a fig!
In a Sieve we'll go to sea!
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
Lear's nonsense verse show exemplary form, rhythm, scansion, metre and rhyme that all operate by the literary rules. Even his invented words have the semblance of signification (adding -ly – furibondiously – slobaciously- creates a pseudo-adverb). Esoteric words are taken for grids, codes, decodings and Lear's images and texts tantalisingly stimulate a hidden meaning that eludes. All language presupposes sense: whenever we communicate we position ourselves within the possibility of sense (why else do it?). Words are taken to stand for implicitly understood sentences which all raises the suggestion that sense cannot be far off, human rules must be operating here somewhere. The construction of meaning is an intrinsic part of narrative: our sense of the possible is that the world and words have meaning. With impeccable syntax, linguistic structure and the proper form nonsense language purports to exhibit sense but is in rebellion against sense. It masquerades as operating within linguistic margins but surreptitiously twists narrative into linguistic muddle. Nonsense then is language that denies sense while positioning itself as if sense were available. It is meaning making (and interpretation generating) but like all absurdity is taut with tension between meaning and its lack. Nonsense language appears to be empty and full of significance simultaneously: a hermeneutical farce. All this creates an unsettled tension between the pretence of meaning and the absence of meaning. Nonsense is both meaning bearing and elusive, both too much and not enough.
There was an Old Man of Vesuvius,
Who studied the works of Vitruvius;
When the flames burnt his book, to drinking he took,
That morbid Old Man of Vesuvius.
Perhaps nonsense raises the fear that in all expressions of language sense is unavailable and meaningless. If nonsense teases with a suggestion of meaning and then fails to deliver, how can one be confident that sense's indication of meaning will be any more sure footed? Nonsense raises the conceivability that sense may be faking it all along. Language is a question of relation to the world and nonsense puts into play the entire conceptual foundations of the world. Perhaps we should leave the friction between sense in nonsense and nonsense in sense to the philosophers to resolve, but nonsense, as we have seen, is a lingual prancing that stimulates an excess of meaning. When interpreters rush in to explain nonsense are not these critics furiously battling for territory in desperation to shore up the sense of sense? Those who set out to mean not to mean are an affront, and the baroque excess of explanations of, for example, Alice in Wonderland and Beckett's plays are a sharp riposte.
There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a bee;
When they said "Does it buzz? he replied, Yes it does!
It's a regular brute of a bee!"
There was an Old Person of Hove,
Who frequented the depths of a grove
Where he studied his books, with the wrens and the rooks,
That tranquil Old Person of Hove.
There are various strategies in relation to Lear's verse adopted by those who seem to be unable to face up to their lack of meaning. (1) It is merely for children (2) it is too silly and trivial to even contemplate (3) it is a meaningful way of explaining Mr Lear and his psychological make up following a difficult childhood (4) it was written by someone else. When Book of Nonsense was published in 1846, anonymously, various alternative authors (the Earl of Derby and Lord Brougham) were attributed by the public. Even when the words Edward and Lear appeared in 1862 on the cover of the re-published Book of Nonsense and More Nonsense the name was taken as disingenuous and a subterfuge for the Earl of Derby whose Christian name was Edward (Lear being an anagram of Earl).
In the end the verses have been sidelined and made safe as 'children's literature'. Lear's nonsense was first published in 1846 (to little acclaim) when children were used to being given moral and edifying and comforting tales to read. Children accept fairy tales and nursery rhymes and rarely interrogate stories, merely existing with them, exulting in them. Children freely allow themselves into these flat-toned worlds turned upside down and accept peculiar people undergoing strange adventures. Children are not 'they', but know only too well who they are. It is practical, sensible, realists who are in revolt against nonsense and the nonsense people who people it, and they are called adults. And adults are wise. Adults talk in codes of moralism, didacticism and with assertions of finality and curt dismissal; adult are sensible and deploy an ordered, tidy, reasonable language. Nonsense seems to be that which is left behind when adulthood is attained, and to properly read Lear's verse we must abandon our adult wisdom and become child-like again. To understand nonsense means only understanding why it cannot and shouldn't be understood, that it is only comprehensible as oracular foolery. Nonsense is for children and fools. So I propose not marginalising Lear's verses by marking them 'for children only', but marginalising ourselves as fools so that we can exult in them. Lear's songs are those of a fool, a nonsense man.
Fools, like children, are playful, accepting, imaginative, tolerant, open and curious. Nonsense is the art of not saying, of not including, of not explaining, of exhibiting no purpose, it is where sense and logic are flung to the wings. It is gratuitous, and makes no apology for its lack of moralism and didacticism, instead it is a form of play. Play is not an anarchic violation of the rules but a creation of another set of rules whereby normal logical schemata are deformed and the logic of the incongruous embraced. What the world takes itself to be, is not. Nonsense exposes the arbitrariness and artificiality of conventions, and by inviting us to willingly reject the logical and normal is subversive. All play sustains a balance between order and disorder, but nonsense obliges us to live with disorder and the unlikely.
The Owl and The Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'
Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows,
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
'Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will,'
So they took it away and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
The 1862 republication sold far and wide, was reprinted many times with twenty four editions in Lear's lifetime, became a classic and has never been out of print. As well as the usual European languages it has been translated into Rumanian, Hindi, Bengali, Japanese, Arabic and Armenian. Mill's On Liberty and Darwin's On the Origin of Species were published in 1859. For me Book of Nonsense and More Nonsense in 1862 and Alice in Wonderland in 1864 form, with them, a quartet of texts from English authors that in the space of five years reorganised the world. Nonsense is an assertion of freedom in the face of oppressive circumstances and proof that life is worth living. Aldous Huxley said in an essay on Lear that for as long as the mind can wander to the land where the Bong Tree grows and to the hills of the Chankley Bore and over the Great Gromboolian Plain, victory is ours.

(1)Hugh Swinton Legare was a lawyer, a legal scholar, and an attorney general of the United States under President John Tyler.
Born January 2, 1797, in Charleston, South Carolina, to a wealthy French Huguenot father, both Legare and his sister, Mary, enjoyed a privileged upbringing and social advantages. But the family's money and influence could not cure the boy's severe physical deformity. Prevented from strenuous physical activity, Legare turned his attention to scholarly pursuits, at which he excelled.
Legare studied at Moses Waddel's Academy and the College of South Carolina and graduated in 1814. He worked toward degrees in law and languages in the United States (1814–17) and in Scotland (1818–19). Legare's interest in Roman and Civil Law was developed at Edinburgh University under the tutelage of Professor Dugald Stewart. Stewart, a disciple of legal philosopher Friedrich von Savigny, praised the systematic character of Roman Law, and argued that Anglo-American Common Law could be made more precise and scientific by the application of the principles of deductive reasoning. Legare embraced the notion that law—like geometry—could be treated as a deductive science, and it became a lifelong interest.
Legare wrote extensively on law, legal philosophy, and classical literature throughout his life. As a young man, he partnered with botanist Steven Elliot, Sr., and other prominent Charleston intellectuals to establish a quarterly magazine that was devoted to all disciplines of scholarly writing. According to its masthead, the Southern Review proposed "to offer to our fellow citizens one Journal in which they may read without finding themselves the objects of perpetual sarcasm." Legare was a principal contributor until the death of his partner and the demands of his political career caused the magazine to fold.
"Our country exhibits the last specimen of that form of government, which has done so much for the dignity and happiness of man."
—Hugh Swinton Legare
Legare entered politics shortly after his return to the United States in 1819. He settled on St. John's Island, off the South Carolina coast,
with the intention of developing a cotton plantation, but his physical limitations soon forced a change of plans. Within a year, he was elected to represent St. John's Island in the South Carolina state legislature.
In 1822, Legare gave up his plantation and moved back to his family home in Charleston. He practiced law and campaigned for reelection to the state legislature—this time as a representative from Charleston. He was elected in 1824 and served until 1830, when he was named state attorney general.
During Legare's tenure as state attorney general, the nullification crisis in South Carolina came to a head. (Nullification is a doctrine that asserts the right of a state to prevent within its borders the enforcement of an act of the federal government that is not authorized by the U.S. Constitution as interpreted by the highest legislative authority of the state.) Convinced that the 1828 and 1832 federal tariff laws favored Northern industry and threatened Southern Slavery, the South Carolina legislature declared them to be unconstitutional and threatened to secede from the Union if the federal government moved to enforce them. Legare opposed the nullification group, spoke on behalf of the Union, and cautioned the federal government against any exercise of authority that might "tip the political balance … toward the nullifiers" and stir the citizens to secession. For his efforts, he was rewarded with a diplomatic post in Brussels. Legare was named U.S. chargé d'affaires in 1832.
After fulfilling his obligations in Brussels and enjoying an extended tour of Europe, Legare returned to the United States in the fall of 1836. On his return, he was elected as a Union Democrat to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Congress. He was defeated in the 1838 election because his view of fiscal policy did not coincide with that of his constituents.
Following his defeat, Legare returned to Charleston and, for the first time in his career, concentrated on the Practice of Law. He tried a number of important cases and made his mark in the South Carolina and federal courts. U.S. Supreme Court justice Joseph Story said, "His argumentation was marked by the closest logic; at the same time he had a presence in speaking I have never seen excelled."
Legare also returned to writing, authoring articles on Demosthenes, Athenian democracy, and Roman law. During the presidential campaign of 1840, Legare affiliated with the Whig Party, and he began a series of articles in support of william harrison, and later Tyler, which appeared in the New York Review.
In appreciation for his support, President Tyler named Legare to be attorney general of the
United States in 1841. Because of his foreign-service experience in Belgium and his thorough knowledge of both civil and International Law, Legare was a highly regarded member of the cabinet. As attorney general, Legare replaced Daniel Webster on the Ashburton Treaty Commission. He is credited with contributing important portions of the treaty that pertained to the right of search.
When Webster resigned as Secretary of State in May 1843, Legare assumed a number of his duties and was named secretary ad interim. A month later, on June 20, 1843, Legare died suddenly while accompanying President Tyler to the dedication of the monument at Bunker Hill, in Boston.

text: Kashmir solely a political problem about aspirations of people: Sehrai | KNO JAMMU & KASHMIR Tuesday, March 12, 2019 Share Whatsapp Kashmir News Observer (KNO) Srinagar, March 12 (KNO) : Reacting on BJP leader Ram Madhav's statement in an interview with "WION" wherein he said, 'the other side is not willing to talk and no one responded to Home Minister Rajnath Singh's invitation', Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Chairman Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai Tuesday said Kashmir is not a law and order or a Sadak-bijli-paani problem; it is solely a political problem about aspirations of people. Sehrai in a statement issued to KNO said "New Delhi so far was never serious or sincere to address Kashmir issue in its historical perspective." "If GoI believes that Kashmir issue can be resolved through its military might, it was grossly mistaken as Kashmir is a purely humanitarian and political issue. Killing Kashmiris on daily basis with impunity exposed Delhi that makes great claims before the world but does not want to resolve the Kashmir dispute," he said. He said this approach will neither alter the fact of the dispute nor will people of Kashmir give up their demand for its just resolution in accordance with their aspirations. Sherri said the Centre's entire approach and agenda was always military-driven, and that there is absolutely no political process or thought in terms of dealing with Kashmir. "They are dealing with Kashmir with an iron fist and their military policy is what is guiding BJPs policy on Kashmir," he said. Furthermore, he added that on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, on which talks and deliberations should be held, but unfortunately there was never any clarity on that other than just to buying time and to deceive international community. "We want to see a political solution to this problem as per the aspirations of Kashmiri people and in this regard nobody in Kashmir is against the dialogue, but the ground situation has to be conducive and there must be a sincere and positive intent first. Every other day there are killings and extreme force is being used," he added. Sehrai said the resistance leadership primarily believes that Kashmir is a political problem, it is not a problem of good or bad governance. "It is not a territorial dispute; it is not a regional dispute either. It's an issue about the people who are just demanding their basic and legitimate political rights which had been promised to us," he added.(KNO) Author : KashmirNewsObserver News Source : Kashmir News Observer Place : Srinagar Srinagar Tour Packages Leh Ladakh Packages

What is Acid Reflux?
Acid Reflux is a common condition in which acid backs up from the stomach into the esophagus and even up to the throat, irritating the lining tissues. The condition is portrayed by a sense of burning sensation in the chest or sour liquid at the rear of the mouth. Chronic cases often respond to prescription drugs, and severe cases may require surgery to avoid serious complications.

Top 5 Turntables in India in 2017
Turntables are making a comeback for a multitude of reasons. There is something deeply fascinating about watching a record spin. Turntables produce deep, rich, sonorous notes; many audiophiles swear that they sound way better than other digital sources. Last but not the least, turntables possess an old world charm that your mp3 player just cannot match! Check out our list of the top 5 turntables in India in 2017.
Clearaudio Concept Turntable
This record player is the recipient of several awards and it's undoubtedly the best turntable within its class. If you are in the market for a versatile, reliable record player with superior performance and astounding build quality, we suggest that you get the Clearaudio Concept in a jiffy! If you can afford it, that is.
: Phenomenal Sound Output, versatility, ease of use. 3 speed ranges: 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM. The fact that it is manufactured in Germany speaks volumes about its build quality.
: Price tag might give you a heart attack! Costs more than 2 commuter bikes put together. Design is clean although a tad too simplistic for Indian tastes.
: 9.5/10
Design & Construction
The Clearaudio Concept looks understated yet elegant; with its smooth, rounded edges and polished surfaces. It is sure to pique the curiosity of your friends, if such things matter to you. Weighing in at 7.5 kg, this record player appears substantial and planted. The intricate design of the arm lends it a distinct, esoteric appeal.
The quality of construction is immaculate. You can't really go wrong with Teutonic engineering. The attention to detail is very evident in all aspects of the design. Clearaudio is very well aware of the needs and priorities of people belonging to the digital age. If you ask a teenager to fit a cartridge in a tonearm, they will give you a bewildered look for half a second and then go back to fiddling with their smartphone. Thus, in order to make the turntable more user friendly, it has been fully configured at the factory. There's no need to trifle with complicated settings – just plug it in and play. You can have a record playing within minutes of un-boxing the Clearaudio Concept. You do need to install the belt and platter; but you can do that, right?
One might assume that all this simplicity comes at the cost of performance and important features. But no, this is where the ingenuity of the manufacturer really impresses. The output is simply phenomenal! It does not have an overly weighty low end. The notes feel light, taut and deep at the same time. The detail is mind boggling. Once you listen to a record on the Clearaudio Concept, going back to your run-of-the-mill player feels empty and uninspiring. The whole experience of assembling and playing a record on the Concept is engaging without being too cumbersome. The bespoke friction free tone arm with magnetic bearing almost glides into place and envelopes you in musical heaven.
Final Verdict: What verdict? It's a no brainer! Buy it if you can afford it.

Pro-Ject Essential II 2 Speed Turntable With Ortofon OM 5E Cartridge
Back in the 1980s, the world had already been bitten by the digital bug. Almost everybody was convinced that it was the end of the analog era. Turntable sales were dwindling. Only a minuscule group of die-hard audiophiles hung on to their record players and they too listened to them rarely. These were the 'purists' who dismissed that new age technnologies saying that digital music sounded lifeless.
In 1990, when the world was moving towards walk-mans and CD players, a man named Heinz Lichtenegger founded Pro-ject in the Austrian Capital of Vienna. He aspired to build a company that specialized in manufacturing high quality turntables for music connoisseurs. It was people like Heinz that kept analog music alive for all these years. Now, almost 3 decades later, the world has caught on with their vision. Turntables are 'in vogue' once again and the Pro-ject Essential II Turntable with Ortofon OM 5E cartridge is the best mid-range record player in the country.
: Dynamic sound, build quality, great cartridge, fairly easy to set up and use even though it's a manual.
: Nothing really, especially at this price. Not suitable for 78 rpm records but we're really nitpicking here.
: 9.2/10
The Essential II has a no-frills look. It has not been designed to attract attention. The focus is on performance and build quality. The turntable doesn't make the slightest attempt to impress visually. However, place a vinyl on it and it's a whole different story.
This record player boasts of an 8.6 inch aluminum tonearm. The entire arm is crafted using a single piece of aluminum. The record player requires manual cueing and hence there is no automatic return mechanism. The counter weight, along with the support rod provide perfect alignment and balance.
The star of the show, however, is the Ortofon OM 5E magnetic cartridge (mm). Ortofon is one of the most renowned turntable cartridge manufacturers in the world. Based in Denmark, it sells more than half a million cartridges per year. The OM 5E cartridge itself costs upwards of 7000 rupees in international markets. It is often referred to as the Rolls Royce of all cartridges within audiophile circles. However, unlike a Rolls, this one is fairly affordable. The cartridge is pre-fitted and configured at the factory for delivering optimal performance. The stylus is elliptical shaped and this results in a balanced, distortion-free output.
This turntable is belt driven and runs at two speeds, namely 33 1/3 and 45 rpm. The synchronous motor is quiet and smooth. The ingenious design ensures that all resonance is transferred to the base of the tonearm, leaving behind only pristine notes.
The Pro-ject Essential II does not have the detail of the Clearaudio Concept, which is not a surprise since it is priced at about a fourth of the latter. What it does possess, however, is a good rhythm and superb dynamics. The notes are punchy, clear and entertaining. It is difficult to find such composure and refinement in a turntable within this price bracket.
If you want a record player that offers precision and performance without breaking the bank, look no further than the Project Essential II. The Ortofon OM 5E Cartridge is the perfect match for this highly capable turntable.

Pro-ject Elemental with Ortofon OM 5E Cartridge
The Pro-ject Elemental is offered as an entry level package. It earns a lot of brownie points owing to its unique design and plug n play nature.
: This fabulous looking turntable possesses all the desirable traits of a Pro-ject product. It is extremely well made and offers great value for money. It is cleverly engineered and produces a seamless and engaging sound.
: There's no way to level the deck and so this record player needs careful placement. Also, there's no lid.
: 9/10
Instead of having a squarish deck like most other record players, the Elemental has an elongated deck, which has been crafted from a single piece of wood. On the underside, there's an artificial stone base to lend solidity to the entire structure. The DC motor, main bearing and the tonearm are all placed inline for added smoothness. The heavy base soaks up any noise that may be generated by the plinth and the motor.
This record player is literally 'plug n play'. It comes with the highly acclaimed Ortofon OM 5E Cartridge and eveything, including the tracking weight and bias force, is pre-configured at the factory. You just need to remove the bearing guard and slide the belt into place.
The detailing, live emotion and the large sound-stage make you forget that you are listening to an entry level turntable. The bass is agile and the vocals are balanced. The player is not bogged down by multiple layers of instruments – it deals with them with scintillating composure.
Final Verdict: The Pro-ject Elemental with Ortofon OM 5E Cartridge does not possess the authority of high end record players. However, it redefines what an 'entry level' turntable can do. The Elemental sounds a lot like the death knell for cheap, plastic turntables.
Audio-Technica AT-LP60-BT
Audio-Technica is one of the most trusted names in the audio industry. Let us take a closer look at their offering.
: This turntable can be paired with Bluetooth speakers. It blends long-play records with modern Bluetooth technology which is sort of cool in an anti-climatic way! You can also connect it using wires. Compact size, fairly affordable price tag, decent performance, warm and melodious notes. All in all a good, well-rounded package with the convenience of BT.
: Subjective looks. The pairing process is complicated and tiring,
: 8.1/10
The design of the AT-LP60-BT incorporates many convenient features such as automatic start and return and a button that raises and lowers the needle. Everything is pretty self-explanatory. There is a start button, a stop button, a button to choose speed and a lever that switches between record sizes. This tells the arm where to place the needle. There's also an LED switch that activates/deactivates Bluetooth. There is no option of adjusting the tracking force – this is good if you are a beginner and don't want to meddle too much with calibration settings.
The AT-LP60-BT is very easy to use. There no 'set-up' per se. Just install the belt, remove the plastic stylus guard and you are ready to roll. The turntable is compact in size and weighs in at just 2.98 kg. However, the plastic cover feels a bit tacky. There's no questioning the player's build quality though – it's pretty solid and comes with a built in phono-stage.
The tonearm is made up of a single metallic tube with a plastic counterweight and a moving magnet cartridge with a diamond stylus. The only problem with this turntable is pairing. There is no BT screen and it is highly probably that your speakers don't have a screen either. So you have to rely on various colored flashing lights to get the pairing done successfully. You will have to actually refer the manual for this, but once it's done, you can forget about it and start streaming.
The sound output depends on two major factors: The quality of your vinyl and the capability of your speakers. The stylus of the AT-LP60-BT transmits low frequencies very well. However, if you pair it to a speaker that does not have produce substantial bass, you'll be missing out. Similarly, if you vinyl is old and damaged, a good speaker won't help much. Considering that your vinyl is in good condition and your speakers are suitable for the music that you're playing, the sound is smooth and clean. The bass response feels natural. Instrument separation is impresive and the highs are crisp.
Verdict: Coupled with the right equipment, the AT-LP60-BT produces an immersive musical experience. It is ludicrously easy to setup and use (barrring the pairing process). BT is an added retro-modern bonus!

Jensen JTA-230 Three Speed Turntable With Built in Speakers
There was a lot of pushing, shoving and jostling for this last spot in our list. Find out why the JTA-230 made the cut.
: It's very suitable for listening to vinyls in a home setting. Capable record player with a mouthwatering price tag. Runs at all three speeds (33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm).
: It's not particularly sturdy.
: 7.5/10
The design is fairly straightforward. There's a lid, buttons for start/stop, speed etc. The player is also equipped with an AUX input jack that can be used for connecting mp3 players, iPods etc. The package includes a USB cable and software that facilitates direct encoding from the record player or AUX input to PC.
This turntable has a ceramic cartridge, which costs lesser than magnetic ones. However, a ceramic cartridge is not necessarily a bad thing, at least in this case. Ceramic cartridges are less sensitive to vibrations. So if this turntable would have been equipped with a magnetic cartridge, the output would've been noisier because of the vibration caused by the built in speakers. You can also connect to external speakers or home theaters.
There is also am RPM micro adjustment feature. The product was originally designed for the US. As you may know, there's a difference between the standard electricity voltage between India and US and this causes slight alterations in the rotating speed even after stepping down to 110 V. The micro adjustment feature enables you to extract the exact number of RPMs depending upon the vinyl.
Note: You need to purchase a separate needle for 78 rpm.
Considering the price, the quality of sound is surprisingly good. It is comparable to that of a 2 in 1 cassette player. So don't expect top notch performance. The Jensen JTA-230 functions best with the built in speakers. If you connect to external amps/speakers, output MAY suffer a little bit if there's a mismatch in impedance.
Final Verdict: If you have a few oldies lying around, the Jensen JTA-230 can envelope you in a wave of nostalgia without burning a hole in your pocket. It's reliable and fairly durable too, as long as you handle it with care.

The globalisation process has also encompassed the legal industry, but it will never be able to completely replace the local approach, familiarity with specific laws, the presence of legal practitioners on the ground and integral inclusion in the legal life of the state
The Sekulović Law Office has earned the trust of the Italian Embassy in Belgrade and the Italian Chamber of Commerce.
Its owner, renowned lawyer Vlatko Sekulovć, stresses at the very beginning of this interview that the legal profession is "a profession that has its status guaranteed by the highest legal act, the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and Article 67, which regulates legal aid, guaranteeing one of the basic human rights, that to defence, and advocacy, in the broader sense, is defined as an instrument to protect that right."
"Legal services, however, are not limited only to providing services related to personal rights, i.e. the rights of private individuals, but rather are related in great measure to legal services provided to legal entities. In relations between the lawyer and the client, it must be considered that it is subsequently regulated by special laws, the most important of which is the Law on Advocacy.
This relationship is considered confidential and sui generis and enjoys special legal protection with a rationale derived from the basic right to defence in criminal matters, but then also relates to other issues that may arise in practice. In addition to the law, there is also the Code of Professional Ethics for Lawyers in Serbia, which is fully harmonised with the Code of Conduct for Lawyers in the European Union. It can thus be said that the Serbian legal sector, according to its standards and rules, is part of the European legal space. Of course, these acts represent the framework within which each lawyer must move, but the quality of relations between attorneys and clients depends on the extent to which the individual attorney adheres to these rules."
Which specific problems requiring specialised legal teams do Italian investors in Serbia face?
– The trend of specialisation in legal practice has been present around the world for decades and has also emerged in our country in recent years. The causes are numerous, but we can conclude that the development of economics and technological solutions – if we're referring to "economic law" in the broadest possible sense – has led to an increase in the number of codified rules.
Foreign investors in Serbia require a complex approach to contemporary law, which simultaneously also requires narrow specialisation, knowledge and experience
Thus, for example, areas that didn't exist just a few decades ago, such as so-called "rights in electronic commerce", have developed due to the development of the internet, and that has happened in many other areas that didn't previously need regulating. The proliferation of norms leads to the impossibility of a lawyer being sufficiently familiar with all areas of law, such that, besides the classical division between civil and criminal law, in terms of professionalisation, specialisation has also emerged for certain branches of civil law, including economic law. Thus, it's not so much about specific problems faced by individual investors, rather the complexity of contemporary law, which requires a lawyer's specialisation, knowledge and experience.
What is your view on the linking of local law offices with those from other countries?
– There are law offices in Serbia today that are linked with partners abroad in various ways, from full integration into their system to business cooperation in terms of client referrals. And in this case, it's about a general consolidation trend on the domestic market, but also globally.
The process of globalisation has somehow also encompassed the legal industry, but it will never be able to completely replace the local approach, familiarity with specific laws, the presence of legal practitioners on the ground and integral inclusion in the legal life of individual countries. So, according to my understanding, the future of the legal profession is in networking, but also in integration, though this profession – due to its specificity, especially in criminal law – will have its autochthonous ness at the national level.
