Leica assembled the APO-Televid 65 25-50x65mm Spotting Scope Travel Kit to give you everything you need to have a complete observation rig that is easy to carry wherever you go. It is comprised of the 65mm angled-viewing spotting scope body with a wide-angle 25-50x eyepiece and, to support the optics, Leica includes a Gitzo magnesium fluid head with a quick-release system and a highly portable and lightweight Gitzo Traveler Series 1 carbon fiber tripod.
The angled-viewing configuration APO-Televid 65mm Spotting Scope from Leica combines premium optical elements with a weather-sealed housing and a proprietary micro-focusing system. Four fully multi-coated apochromatic lens elements and a Schmidt prism system form the core of this optical instrument. Leica's fluoride apochromatic glass is engineered to transmit luminous images that are geometrically flat from center to edge and color-faithful across the entire visible spectrum. When paired with Leica's 25-50x wide-angle aspherical zoom eyepiece (separate purchase required), the APO-Televid renders high-contrast images that are rich with detail.
A magnesium-alloy chassis makes the structure of the APO-Televid as rigid and durable as aluminum-chassis designs in the same class but significantly less heavy than those models. To deliver weatherproof performance, the optical channel is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed, maintaining its watertight seal to a depth of 5 meters. The AquaDura-coated hydrophobic objective lens surface resists moisture accumulation by causing rain and condensation to bead up and roll off the lens surface. The rubber-armored body is shock absorbent and slip resistant, providing an additional layer of protection against the unexpected. Leica's proprietary internal dual-focusing system enables you to control the focus of your scope with coarse or fine movements, ideal for digiscoping and nature observation. The integrated rotating tripod collar, quick-change bayonet eyepiece mount, and sliding lens hood make the APO-Televid a full-featured spotting scope for a wide range of recreational and professional glassing applications.
The Gitzo Two-Way Fluid Tripod Head features completely redesigned pan and tilt fluid cartridges - Bird Watching Fluid Cartridges. These cartridges allow for smooth and controlled movements at low speeds and almost frictionless movements at high speeds, making quick repositioning of the camera a breeze.
The single-lock mechanism quickly fixes the 360° pan and ± 110° tilt movements using a single knob, making adjustments easier and more effective. Ergonomically suitable for both right/left-handed use, the tripod head offers maximum stability to avoid even the smallest play, and a high-precision mechanism ensures accuracy. A quick-release plate makes for fast removal as well as facilitating the mounting of scopes, cameras and other such equipment.
Made of magnesium, the lightweight tripod head has high structural rigidity, and can support a load up to 8.82 lbs (4 kg). When used with Gitzo carbon fiber tripods (the Leveling series), the tripod head yields additional speed and versatility while shooting. The removable and reversible pan bar proves useful while using long photographic lenses. A compact design makes the tripod head easily portable and ideal for travel.
The Two-Way Fluid Tripod Head's light weight along with its innovative Bird Watching Fluid Cartridges, add up to the ideal tripod head for bird watching and wildlife photography/videography.
The Gitzo GIGT1545T Traveler Series 1 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a compact support system with legs that fold around the center column and optional head. These reverse-folding legs contribute to the tripod's folded length of just 16.7". It extends to 60.2" high and can hold up to 22 lb worth of gear. With the included short center column installed, the tripod can get down to 8.6" for macro or low-angle shooting.
The tripod employs Carbon eXact tubing for added strength and stiffness compared to the Carbon 6X tubes. Traveler G-lock is a pared-down version of Gitzo's G-lock, specifically designed for the Traveler tripods to reduce overall size. These legs feature space-saving feet that fit the Traveler series' compact design. A shoulder strap is included for easy carrying.

Allard J2
Philip Stanton's full and detailed account (as of March 2006) of J2 Allards imported into Australia. (See also Philip Stanton in Cars and Drivers)
Page 8 - Allard J2
Philip Stanton Tracks the Australian J2 Allards as shipped to Australia by The Allard Motor Company
The introduction of the J2 Allard to the Australian market was due entirely to the energy and enthusiasm of Rube Gardiner. In 1950 Gardiner traveled to the United Kingdom where he was appointed New South Wales distributor for The Allard Motor Company. Gardiner, through his Gardiner's Motor Service at Stanmore Road, Petersham, in the inner western suburbs of Sydney, had been a supplier of Ford spare parts since 1935. After taking up the Allard distributorship, Gardiner acquired a new facility on the Princes Highway at Carlton in the Southern suburbs of Sydney.
All six J2's exported to Australia by the factory were shipped to Gardiner's. In a period of less than six months, from August 1950 to January 1951, five J2's were dispatched. The sixth was a bodyless show car shipped during July 1951.
Today three remain in the country, two having been exported to the US and the show car broken up. Although Rube Gardiner died in 1955, Gardiner's continue to sell Ford parts at Carlton.
None of the interstate Allard importers, for example Brisbane Motors Pty Ltd, who at one point took delivery of a run of six prima coated P types, imported the J2.
There were no J2X's exported to Australia by the factory.*
Rube Gardiner drove the first J2 imported directly to the October 1950 Bathurst race meeting. It was not raced there, but displayed to potential buyers. It was at this meeting that Stan Jones saw and bought the car. At the time the J2 was quickly building a winning reputation not only in the UK but particularly in the US.
Jack Murray, a well known Sydney racer and who was to win the 1953 Round Australia Redex Trial, also committed to buy a J2 from Gardiner.
Perhaps encouraged by this early sales success, Rube Gardiner imported a further three J2's all of which he entered for the Easter 1951 Bathurst race meeting. Jones also entered his car as did Murray. So all of the J2's in the country at this time, a total of five, were entered for this meeting.
As it transpired only three started. Nevertheless, this proved to be the high point of J2 racing activity in Australia. Never again were three J2's to compete together in this country (perhaps until the 26/27th February 2005 Philip Island meeting).
Overseas success by the J2 was almost all as a result of installing modified and highly tuned American-made overhead valve V8 motors, predominantly Cadillacs. In the US there was something of a sports car racing revival occurring, with the J2 at the forefront, there being virtually no open wheel road racing opportunities.
It is ironic that at this time in Australia the most significant road racing opportunities were of the open wheeled variety. Consequently, those who persevered with the J2 and who wanted to race regularly at the top level, were forced to compete against grand prix type cars.
With the exception of Jack Murray's car, which ran a Cadillac motor, and one Gardiner car with an Ardun conversion installed and which was never raced, the remaining three J2's which raced here, were imported with English made Ford Pilot side valve V8 motors.
In the hands of well known drivers Jack Murray, Tom Hawkes, Reg Hunt and Stan Jones, (the latter two being future Australian champions driving 250F Maserati's), J2's continued to be reasonably competitive, in both racing and sports car categories, until 1955.
In the early days, with highly modified motors, J2's could compete successfully with the predominant sports car, the Jaguar XK 120. However, with the appearance in this category in the mid 50's, of the more reliable and cost effective Austin Healy and Triumph TR2, the J2 was pushed well into the background.
Gardiner's originally advertised the standard J2 (Pilot motor) for sale at AUP 1,460.00. To this figure had to be added the considerable cost of modifications necessary to make them competitive. An almost new Austin Healy could be bought for well under AUP 1400.00, a used XK120 for under AUP 1200.00.
Curiously, and for reasons not totally clear, at least three of the J2's imported by Rube Gardiner were actually on sold by Hastings Deering, then New South Wales biggest Ford dealer. Two being sold as new, although they had both been raced.
Perhaps being slow to sell, and given The Allard Motor Company's close connection to the Ford Motor Company, Hastings Deering was asked to assist Gardiner's in the sale of the cars.
Having initially advertised new J2's at AUP 1,460.00, Gardiner finally advertised as new cars at a considerably reduced AUP 1,150.00
After importation, Gardiners/Hastings Deering had a wait of over three years before they were able to sell two of the cars to Hunt.
Gardiner's expertise was in spare parts sales, not new vehicle retailing. In addition to the J2's, he also imported at least two K2's. The facility Rube Gardiner acquired in Carlton was suitable for use as a car showroom, where the bodyless 1950 London Show car imported by Gardiner, would have been displayed. However with the decline in Allard sales, the showroom was not used, and the spare parts business was transferred from Petersham to Carlton where it thrives to this day.
*In 1995 Terry Healy and Quentin Young imported a 1952 J2X from the US. Believed to be ex Tiny Gould and Kirk White, it had been in pieces for some twenty four years and was in fire damaged condition. Originally silver, it has been repainted red and fitted with a 2 X 4 barrel 331 Chrysler Hemi and a four speed gearbox. This car was exported to Hong Kong and re-imported to Queensland. It is now owned in Victoria by David Rodd.
J2's exported by The Allard Motor Company to Australia and New Zealand

6-10-50 Chassis # 1781 Engine #5339/27 Ford Pilot V8
Shipped to Gardiner's Motor Service, Sydney.
Blue with Blue interior.
Entered by Rube Gardiner for the Easter 1951 Bathurst meeting with Harry Monday as driver. Monday started in two races at this meeting, setting fastest time in a twelve lap handicap event and being unplaced in a 6 lap over 1500cc handicap.
It was raced to a win by Rube Gardiner at Nowra, NSW in December 1952 and again to a win by Harry Monday at Orange, NSW in January 1953.
Advertised for sale by Gardiner's in May/June 1953.
This is the second of two J2's owned and raced by Melbourne based Reg Hunt who acquired it during 1954 at short notice directly from Hastings Deering in Sydney, ostensibly as a new vehicle.
The vehicle was repainted white and registered Vic GBC 836.
Hunt extensively modified the car, replacing the original Ford Pilot motor with a Ford Mercury incorporating Edelbrock heads and other speed equipment supplied by the Sydney based champion speedway racer Ray Revell. Revell, who was the Edelbrock distributor, also provided advice to Hunt on boring and stroking the motor and on converting it to alcohol fuel.
It was raced by Hunt until late 1955 despite being advertised for sale in May and June of 1955. A rule change prohibiting the use of cooler running alcohol fuel in sports cars prompted this sale.
The car was ultimately sold to Ralph Snodgrass who campaigned it until the late 50's.

Bugatti blue with blue interior
Entered by Rube Gardiner for the Easter 1951 Bathurst meeting with Jack Murray as driver. Murray ran third in an over 1500cc handicap and started but did not finish in the 26 lap Redex '100'.
(Jack Murray also entered his own Cadilac engined J2 #1698 for this meeting but did not run the car).
This is the first of two J2s owned and raced by Melbourne based Reg Hunt who acquired it new at short notice and again ostensibly as a new vehicle during the second half of 1953 directly from Hastings Deering in Sydney.
The vehicle was also repainted white and also registered Vic GBC 836.
As with J2 #1781, the Pilot motor was replaced by a similarly modified Ford Mercury.
The car was raced briefly by Hunt, at Fishermans Bend during October 1953 and to 10th place in the Australian Grand Prix held at Albert Park in November 1953.
It was then sold to Bill Craig, Adelaide S.A., who in turn immediately offered it for sale.
The car then passed through a number of hands including:-
D.L.Harrison, Adelaide (Collingwood October 1954).
John Hill Smith, SA.
Andy Brown, SA.
Adelaide motor trader Oliver Young (reg SA RCH 587) on a number of occasions. Michael Robinson. Repainted green.
Bought back in 1972 by Oliver Young, it was in the Young family for a total of some 35 years. Repainted silver.

1955/56 NSW reg BTB 402. John O'Brien Sydney, used as a road car.
14-8-61 Sold by Sydney sports car trader Leaton Motors to John Jackson, the Sydney based Allard enthusiast.
The Ardun motor was removed by Jackson and installed in his K2. The J2 was never raced during the thirty six years of Jackson family ownership and was in storage for most of this time.
The K2 was used sparingly until 1967 when it was garaged.
In 1991 the Ardun motor was removed from the K2 and reinstalled in the J2,
when restoration of the J2 commenced.
November 1996, the car was sold by Jackson family through Brooks Goodman to current owner, Philip Stanton, re registered NSW AH1 5IR.
Restoration continued until completed in 1999.
26-1-51 Chassis # 1698 Engine # 8M931
Factory records show this car was shipped with the above mentioned engine number.
Sold immediately to Jack Murray, Sydney.
This car was raced with a Cadillac motor which, it is understood, was installed by Murray in Sydney The Cadillac motor was subsequently given the number N57110P.
This car's first Bathurst race was the October 1951 meeting (not the '51 Easter meeting as has been reported elsewhere).
Raced by Murray, who tended to confine his racing to the northern states, through to 1955, including to fourth place in the 1952 Australian Grand Prix held at Bathurst, and in the 1954 Australian Grand Prix at Southport Qld, where it did not finish.
During February 1957 the car was sold to John Firth, Sydney.
In John Firth's latter years his brother Jim looked after the car. On John's passing in 1992, Jim took over the car and in 1995 commenced a rebuild.

any help as to how i can make the solr recognise the dataimport would be much appreciated thankyou ...

A: I got the same error. The possible solution is
I have added following lines of code in solrconfig.xml file
<lib dir="../../../contrib/dataimporthandler/lib/" regex=".*\.jar" />
<lib dir="../../../dist/" regex="apache-solr-dataimporthandler-\d.*\.jar" />

make sure your apache-solr-dataimporthandler-4.0.jar and apache-solr-dataimporthandler-extras-4.0.jar files in the dist folder and it's in correct path.
don't forget to restart the tomcat server.
For more detail check the following Question link.
DIH(Data Import Handler) for xml files is not working in Solr4
Other thing is you are using the Tomcat so your port number is 8080. not 8983.

Prebend Centre celebrates £20k grant from Panacea Charitable Trust
Erica Roffe
The SMART CJS team
SMART CJS, the charity that runs the Prebend Day Centre, has been awarded a much-needed grant of £20,000 by Bedford's Panacea Charitable Trust.
Since the coronavirus outbreak, SMART CJS has played a vital role in coordinating emergency accommodation provided to the town's homeless and rough sleepers.
Throughout the last four months, over 60 individuals per month have been supported and the charity has seen some extraordinarily positive outcomes for service users, with many having been moved into sustainable accommodation.
The grant from the Panacea Charitable Trust will help to cover, otherwise unfunded, staffing costs as they continue to deliver their emergency response to the outbreak of Covid-19 for Bedford's homeless population.
A number of people provided with accommodation at the hotel in Bedford, run by SMART CJS, have felt a lot safer, well-fed and cared for than they have done in a very long time.
And this has led to people being less reliant on drugs and alcohol and feeling that they can make significant changes to their lives. Above all, they have renewed hope and refreshed ambitions for themselves.
Sean Gillen, Deputy CEO, from the Panacea Charitable Trust said, "Given the particular challenges facing the charity sector and society as a whole at this time, The Panacea Charitable Trust is pleased to provide this grant to help those experiencing homelessness and other complex needs to get the support they need.
"The work undertaken by SMART CJS since the onset of Covid-19 has been transformative for those who have accessed their services, and we are happy that we can play a part in assisting this process."
Anita McCallum, SMART CEO, said, "We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded £20,000 from The Panacea Charitable Trust. They have been generous supporters of the SMART Prebend Centre in the past and we are so grateful for their help right now."
"This has been a huge undertaking for our staff and service users alike, to adapt to the constant and rapid changes needed to shield from Covid-19," reports Jen Robus, SMART CJS Bedford Service Manager.
"It has also given us a unique opportunity to provide really intensive support to our rough sleepers and homeless population. We're really proud of the positive outcomes our service users have achieved! We can continue the good work with such a significant sum of money from the Panacea Charitable Trust."
Now more than ever, we need your help to fund the Bedford Independent's quality journalism that serves our community...
We choose to champion editorial independence, meaning we report the facts without bias and can stand up to those in power when we believe it's needed.
We can give a voice to people in our community whose voices may otherwise not be heard. And we don't have a paywall, so everyone can read the stories we publish for free.
But in this time of crisis, many news organisations all over the world are facing existential threat, with advertising revenues plummeting. We're no different.
We work hard every day to bring you news, commentary, entertainment and announcements from across Bedford. We hope that, with your help, we'll be able to continue this for many years to come.

The new Greenline 48 Hybrid Coupe caught my eye as I was walking down the dock at the Miami Yacht Show, and I decided I had to take a closer look when I saw that it was called "the Great Loop edition." Now that's what I call target marketing. But whether you want to take the Great Loop or simply cruise anywhere in the coastal United States or Canada, you'd be well served to take a good look at this attractive, light-filled, well-laid-out hybrid cruiser from Slovenia.
Powered by two 220-hp Volvo diesels with straight shafts, the new Greenline Hybrid Coupe tops out at about 15 knots; dial back to 7 knots and you'll have a range of 900 nm. But then there's the hybrid part. The Coupe has an array of nine solar panels on the cabintop, producing 2.4kW, enough to run all the appliances on the boat without any noise or fossil fuels. They are paired to two 14kW Mahle electric motors with integrated 10kW generators and lithium polymer batteries. Running under electric power alone, the Greenline 48 cruises at 6.5 knots with a range of 20 nm.
Whether you're cruising the Great Loop or anywhere else, the hybrid aspect of the new Greenline offers an independence that's quite appealing. You don't have to worry about plugging into a new marina every night, or running a genset if you're anchoring out. The solar panels and batteries will produce all the power you need so you can stay where you want.
The Coupe is also appealing to people cruising in Florida or the low country or the Great Loop because the air draft is only 18'1", low enough so you can slide under most of the bridges along the way. And the water draft is only 3'1", so you can pretty much cruise where and when you want, without undue worry about the tides. Also appealing to cruising boat owners is the door opening from the helm to the starboard side deck, to make docking and line handling easy. The side decks are wide enough and the railings are high enough so you, or your family, can feel safe working around the boat.
Walking on the boat, I appreciated the large teak swim platform with an outdoor dining center built into the aft side of the transom. Lift a lid there and you'll find a BBQ, sink and cooktop. The cockpit itself has an L-shaped settee with a teak table, all protected by an overhang from the cabintop.
The boat has one-level living from the transom all the way forward through the salon to the helm. A large glass door opens from the cockpit to the salon, while a large glass window lifts up on the starboard side so that the galley, aft in the salon, can serve the cockpit directly; there's even a little counter that lifts up on the cockpit side where you could put drinks or small dishes.
In the salon, there's a full-sized fridge and freezer on the port side aft, opposite the galley, and a U-shaped dinette/settee on the port side forward, opposite the two-person helm seat. The amount of natural light entering the salon from the windows all around, and the glass door aft, is striking. This Greenline is one of the most light-filled boats I've ever encountered.
Four steps down, the accommodations deck has three cabins and two heads. The master is forward, with a king-sized bed and large head with shower. The two guest cabins, each with two berths, are aft.
The price for this boat is $1.25 million. You can see a video of hull number one of the new 48 Coupe series, which was introduced at the Düsseldorf show in January, below.
Specs.: LOA: 49'2"; Beam: 15'9"; Draft: 3"1"; Disp.: 30,423 lbs.; Fuel: 396 gals.; Water: 174 gals.; Power: 2×220-hp Volvo diesels; 2x14kW Mahle electric motors.


At this area, there ar already too many " no through road". to have 6 two story units will make this area become highly density. The traffic is extremely terrible at night. The council should really seriously consider about the big influence at this area.
our next door negibhour is going to buil up another unit in the back, i can't image how many construtions are going at this area. this should be stopped and get the neighbour notice as well as we didn't know anything until the neighbour's notice to our mail box.

Medtronic Initiates Pivotal Trial for Bluetooth Enabled MiniMed(TM) 780G
Medtronic announced earlier this month, the enrollment of the first study participants in the company's pivotal trial of its Bluetooth® enabled MiniMed(TM) 780G advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system.
According to the company, this next-generation system is designed to automate the delivery of correction boluses when the user experiences, or is predicted to experience, prolonged high glucose levels based on their sensor readings.
The trial will look at the safety of the MiniMed 780G system in participants with Type 1 diabetes at home, at work, during exercise and other daily activities.
The study will enroll up to 350 adult and pediatric participants.
"We are excited to begin enrollment in this trial as we continue to advance our phased approach towards the development of a fully closed-loop system," said Dr. Robert Vigersky, chief medical officer for the diabetes group at Medtronic. "The MiniMed 780G system is designed to take our MiniMed 670G system with automated basal insulin delivery one step further so that people living with Type 1 diabetes can enjoy greater freedom and less burden from their daily diabetes management."
Vigersky added, forgetting a pre-meal bolus can lead to hyperglycemia and as much as people try to remember to take a pre-meal bolus or to accurately calculate their carbohydrates, real life sometimes gets in the way.
"As we evaluate this next-generation system, our goal is to increase automation through smart algorithms that reduce the need for patient interaction and decision-making," he said.
Positive Data from Early Results
Data from the feasibility study demonstrated the safety of the system and its potential to improve overall glycemic control and simplify diabetes management for individuals who forget to administer a bolus of insulin at mealtime, carb count inaccurately or choose to forgo announcing meals.
Additionally, hypoglycemia (time spent below 70mg/dL) dropped by 27% and hyperglycemia (time spent above 180 mg/dL) was reduced by 14% with no serious adverse events reported.
"The early results are positive and I look forward to evaluating the system in more patients as part of the pivotal trial as the technology holds significant promise for the diabetes community," said Dr. Robert Slover, director of pediatrics at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes and co-principal investigator of the study.
"Managing diabetes on a daily basis is a tremendous burden and responsibility so I'm very pleased to see advancements being made in the space that will enable technology to safely automate more of these decisions on behalf of patients so they can think less about their disease," he added.
Data on the study were shared at the 79th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association, in San Francisco, June 7-11, 2019.

Am I surrounded with perfect people that in the end of it all, I end being the bad guy? Just this morning, a certain employee in our office called me and made a follow-up regarding their department's requested reports. I can recall that I said that I'm not done yet. I even asked her if she wants to finish the report herself since I'm just doing it manually. I still can't figure it out how to automate it in my report generation. I end the conversation not promising to finish it, coz I have many prioritized tasks to do.
After lunch, I was surprised to hear from a friend in the office that that employee confided to her and told her that she was offended by my reply to her this morning on the phone. I felt bad that someone has an ill feeling towards me. I was misinterpreted again for my choice of words, tone and delivery.
I really thought we were okay after our conversation. The saying, "You can't please everyone" is quite true.

If I were forced to choose the tastiest food combination ever--one more flavorful than apples + cinnamon, one more tempting than chocolate + caramel, and one more lip-smacking than peanut butter + jelly . . .
You can't go wrong with that combination, now can you?
These bars (and I don't know why or how) tasted very similar to the real Rice Krispy Treats... like, mysteriously similar. I don't know how to explain it, but it definitely has something to do with the coconut butter. And it's amazing. It tasted like real marshmallows were hiding somewhere!
These reminded me of my childhood where--along with chocolate--I was totally obsessed with Rice Krispy Treats.
In the first bite, you get a soft, yet crunchy, bar. Sweet and delicious. Your tastebuds sense hints of marshmallow, but in a few seconds they will realize that it is coconut. As you continue to chew, you taste the rich, chocolate flavor from the glaze. Soon, the treat is no more and you grab another one.
7. Roughly chop the chocolate and put into a microwave safe bowl with the coconut oil. Microwave at 30 second intervals until all is melted. Stir.
9. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or freeze for 10 minutes until chocolate is hard. Slice and serve!
Oops! I took a picture of an empty plate.
Oh yeah. They went fast.
Sounds like a dessicated sweets but a high end and elegant one.

Nigel Palmer sent us this video of his musical colleague, bassist Jimmi Clarke performing the Jaco Pastorius tune "Teen Town".
Not only did Jimmi make it look effortless, I love what he added to the tune to make it his own rather than turning in a note-for-note performance.
dig this. groovy version. tasty bass!
A very Hip & Groovy version of a bass classic. Good stuff !
Jimmie Clark is one bad cat…….
Thanks for all the kind comments!! really appreciate it!!

How about working from home? If you are a stay at home parent, summertime can be the start of some big transitions, and big opportunities. Are your children starting kindergarten in this fall—or even college? If you are thinking about re-entering the workforce soon, you should know that a Coffee News® low-cost franchise is a fast, flexible way to find financial freedom that will still let you be there when your family needs you. And you might not realize it, but your time at home with your kids has probably honed the skills you'll need to make your Coffee News® franchise a success!
For parents who opt out of the workforce when their children are born, there are so many rewards—and some significant challenges. For many, one of the biggest challenges is getting back into the workforce once those intense early years of childrearing are done. Staying home with kids utilizes many of the skills valued in the workforce—budgeting, project management, conflict resolution, sales techniques, research and technology, to name a few. But while the time stay at home mothers and stay at home fathers have spent with their kids has made a big impact on their family, it also leaves a big gap on their resume. Stay at home mothers in particular can have a very difficult time merging back into their previous professions, or finding a good job at all.
If you are a stay at home mother or father looking for a fast way to contribute to your family's finances in your free time while your kids are at school, a Coffee News® low-cost franchise can be a fast-track way to get back on your career path. We see stay at home moms and stay at home dads and potential successful publishers, and our publishers see profits fast. In fact, if you get started now, you can go back to work right when your kids go back to school!
Becoming a stay at home parent often leads to deeper involvement in your community. Play groups, Scouting dens, Little League teams and more expand your social circles, as do volunteering at your child's school, camp or church group. Handling the daily shopping connects you with the local businesses and services, and chances are, you've also advocated for progress on community issues like improving the school budget or local parks. Many of our most successful publishers were drawn to Coffee News® precisely because it gave them an opportunity to support local businesses and make a difference in their community, and years of stay at home parenting gives you a head start!
Just because your children are starting kindergarten or heading off to college doesn't mean you aren't still needed at home. Your children are more independent now, but they still want you cheering for them at their games or at their side for dental work or doctor appointments. Coffee News® publishers love being their own boss because it gives them a more flexible schedule and more free time they can spend with their families. With Coffee News®, you can meet your sales goals and still be home to meet the bus every afternoon.
How many bake sales or lemonade stands have you organized? How many car washes, raffle tickets, silent auction items or Girl Scout cookies have you helped to sell? Have you advocated for a higher school budget, more arts programming at your child's school or healthier lunches? Sales techniques and the power of persuasion are things stay at home parents know well. If your previous career included any sales experience or if you think you an sell a newspaper ad, you have the sales chops you need to be a successful Coffee News® publisher.
Organization, time management and motivation.
You've juggled everyone's schedules, made and met everyone's appointments, booked and packed for summer camp or summer vacations, stretched the family budget to cover unexpected expenses and kept your entire household running smoothly. Setting priorities, multitasking and exceeding everyone's expectations are things stay at home parents do on a daily basis. Not everyone can work from home and have the discipline to stay on track, but stay at home parents have already proven they have what it takes to be their own boss and make money from home.
Strong support networks—and a commitment to family.
Coffee News is a family-owned company, and because our publishers are never in competition with each other, our organization feels like family. When you become a Coffee News® publisher, we provide all the training, tools and ongoing support you need to start making money from home fast. If your children are going back to school, consider going to Coffee News® College—and starting a whole new successful chapter in your life!
You can be your own boss and make money from home this fall if you get started today.


A regulatory role for Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec in selenoprotein synthesis.
Jameson RR, Diamond AM. A regulatory role for Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec in selenoprotein synthesis. RNA. 2004;10(7):1142-52.
Selenium is biologically active through the functions of selenoproteins that contain the amino acid selenocysteine. This amino acid is translated in response to in-frame UGA codons in mRNAs that include a SECIS element in its 3' untranslated region, and this process requires a unique tRNA, referred to as tRNA([Ser]Sec). The translation of UGA as selenocysteine, rather than its use as a termination signal, is a candidate restriction point for the regulation of selenoprotein synthesis by selenium. A specialized reporter construct was used that permits the evaluation of SECIS-directed UGA translation to examine mechanisms of the regulation of selenoprotein translation. Using SECIS elements from five different selenoprotein mRNAs, UGA translation was quantified in response to selenium supplementation and alterations in tRNA([Ser]Sec) levels and isoform distributions. Although each of the evaluated SECIS elements exhibited differences in their baseline activities, each was stimulated to a similar extent by increased selenium or tRNA([Ser]Sec) levels and was inhibited by diminished levels of the methylated isoform of tRNA([Ser]Sec) achieved using a dominant-negative acting mutant tRNA([Ser]Sec). tRNA([Ser]Sec) was found to be limiting for UGA translation under conditions of high selenoprotein mRNA in both a transient reporter assay and in cells with elevated GPx-1 mRNA. This and data indicating increased amounts of the methylated isoform of tRNA([Ser]Sec) during selenoprotein translation indicate that it is this isoform that is translationally active and that selenium-induced tRNA methylation is a mechanism of regulation of the synthesis of selenoproteins.

Pride & Prejudice (Sort of) is a (Complete) Delight
Martina O'Boyle 11.2021 Culture, Theatre, Theatre Review, UKLeave a Comment
Pride & Prejudice (Sort of)
Jane Austen's novels and the subsequent TV and film adaptations are meat and potatoes to Brits. Whether or not modern English adults have read or seen them, the Regency romances are cultural touchstones. Mock Austen at your peril.
Pride & Prejudice (Sort of) takes on the challenge of …let's say, having a bit of fun with the classic, and succeeds.
Fueled by brilliant teamwork by five -only five!- versatile actresses, Austen's classic tale of class, love and manners is here turned on its head. Funny, modern, irreverent but always true to its source, Pride & Prejudice (Sort of) delivers genuine laughs, nicely integrated pop music and the actual story, for those of you who somehow haven't read the book and even escaped one of the fourteen hundred filmed adaptations.
Pride & Prejudice (Sort of) started life at Glasgow's Tron Theatre
Writer and director Isobel McArthur is one of the fabulous five, giving herself both the most over the top character (the broad role of the scheming, dramatic mother, Mrs Bennet) and also the most smouldering (heartthrob Mr. Darcy).
Our heroine, Elizabeth, is played by a modern, sarcastic Meghan Tyler, and much like in the source material, you often feel Elizabeth is too good for the moody Darcy. Perhaps she should run off with her pal Charlotte…?
The rest of the cast are brilliant as well, taking on many, many roles. Hannah Jarrett-Scott plays both Charles Bingley and his sister, Christina Gordon takes on the too-good-to-be-true Jane Bennett and the dastardly rogue Wickham, and Tori Burgess is naughty youngest sister Lydia and poor forgotten sister Mary, a minor character I'll never take for granted again.
Pride & Prejudice (Sort of) delivers comedy, karaoke, sight gags, maids in corsets and combat boots addressing the audience and most of all, joy. (pssst! Doesn't matter if you've read the book!)
Pride & Prejudice (Sort of) is on at the Criterion Theatre through February 13, 2022

A former ABC National, Dallas and Atlanta radio personality, Martina O'Boyle is now making movies and covering culture in London, Dublin, and as far in Europe as the cheapie flights will take her, for Pop Culture Beast.

This is a guest post from Mitch Joel — President, Twist Image and author of "Six Pixels of Separation." His new book "CTRL ALT DEL" comes out in May 2013. See the original post this is adapted from and more like it on his blog.
Like an artist, all of our collective canvases start off as a white, blank space. It can be the blank screen of your blog writing platform, it can be an empty Twitter box waiting for you to answer the question, "What's happening?", it can be a hot microphone just waiting for you to rant and publish a podcast with, or it can be the moment before you flip on your Flip video cam. How you fill your space is going to determine your level of success (and whatever "success" means to you).
Saying, "it's not easy to be interesting" is actually a very complex thought. After all, if the real power of social media — and all of these publishing platforms — is to share who you really are and then no one connects with what you're doing, does that mean you're not interesting? Alternatively, if you have to really think about it and be calculated in what you're publishing to try to be interesting, what's the point?
That's the real secret: not everyone is interesting (sorry). Some people are more interesting than others (it's true). Some people are super-successful, while other people will struggle their whole lives (sadly). It's what makes us individuals, and it's what makes us the society we are (for better or for worse). But in the end, we all do have this amazing new, white, blank canvas to explore and discover. It's something we've never had before, and it's something we should celebrate.


James Janitorial Online is a division of IR James Associates Limited and we are based in the Midlands where we keep extensive stocks in our warehouse and showroom.
Established since 1992 after having had many years experience in the professional cleaning industry selling to both the public and private sector. We found that while many manufacturers supply a range of products covering the whole spectrum their speciality was actually only one or two machines, the rest being "also runs" or machines manufactured by other people and badged as their own.
Being a distributor we can offer a wide range of products that are cherry picked from the best available from each manufacturer.
Many of our customers are not specialists in cleaning and need help when confronted with a vast range to choose from. This is where we can help, there is no point in making a few pounds saving if you are buying something that is totally unsuitable for its intended task.
