Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Trench, Power Le Poer
TRENCH, POWER LE POER (1770–1839), archbishop of Tuam, second son of William Power Keating Trench, first earl of Clancarty, and younger brother of Richard Le Poer Trench, second earl of Clancarty [q. v.] Born in Sackville Street, Dublin, on 10 June 1770, he was first educated at a preparatory school at Putney, whence he went for a short time to Harrow, and afterwards at the academy of Mr. Ralph at Castlebar, in the immediate neighbourhood of his home. Trench matriculated at Trinity College, Dublin, on 2 July 1787, where his tutor was Matthew Young [q. v.], afterwards bishop of Clonfert, and graduated B.A. on 13 July 1791. Later in the same year (27 Nov.) Trench was ordained deacon, and, having received priest's orders on 24 June 1792, he was in the same month inducted into the benefice of Creagh, in which his father's residence and the great fair town of Ballinasloe were situated. In the following year (5 Nov. 1793) he was presented to the benefice of Rawdenstown, co. Meath. He obtained a faculty to hold the two cures together, and combined with their clerical duties the business of agent on his father's Galway estate. Trench was a man of great bodily strength and a fine horseman, and retained to the end of his days a fondness for field sports. During the Irish rebellion of 1798 he acted as a captain in the local yeomanry raised by his father to resist the French invading army under Humbert.
In 1802 Trench was appointed to the see of Waterford, in succession to Richard Marlay, and was consecrated on 21 Nov. 1802. In 1810 he was translated to the diocese of Elphin, and, on the death of Archbishop Beresford, was on 4 Oct. 1819 advanced to the archiepiscopal see of Tuam. In May 1834, on the death of James Verschoyle, the united dioceses of Killala and Achonry were, under the provisions of the Irish Church Temporalities Act, added to the charge of Trench. By the same act the archdiocese of Tuam was reduced, on Trench's death, to an ordinary bishopric.
In the history of the Irish church Trench chiefly deserves to be remembered for his activity in promoting the remarkable evangelical movement in the west of Ireland which was known in Connaught as the second reformation, and which, chiefly through the agency of the Irish Society, made a vigorous effort to win converts to protestantism. From 1818 to his death Trench was president of the Irish Society; and it is evidence of his large-heartedness that the religious controversies which his leadership of this movement involved in no wise impaired the remarkable personal popularity which he enjoyed among his Roman catholic neighbours. Holding strong views as to the paramount importance of the 'open bible,' Trench was a strenuous opponent of the mixed system of national education founded by Mr. Stanley (Lord Derby), and was one of the founders of the Church Education Society. Trench was a man of strong and masterful character, and during the twenty years of his archiepiscopate was one of the foremost figures in the Ireland of his day. He died on 26 March 1839. Trench married, 29 Jan. 1795, his cousin Anne, daughter of Walter Taylor of Castle Taylor, co. Galway. By her he had two sons, William and Power, and six daughters.

What Is Heroin?
Heroin comes from a flower, the Opium poppy, which grows in Mexico, Asia, and South America. The drug is highly addictive and has been illegal in the United States since 1924. It can look like a white or brown powder, or black tar. Other names for it are horse, smack, junk, and brown sugar.
How Heroin Is Used
No matter how you get it into your system, heroin gets to the brain quickly. It's easy to become addicted. Even after using it just one or two times, it can be hard to stop yourself from using again.
You can smoke or snort it, but most users inject it into their veins to get the quickest high. That's the most dangerous way to take it. You can overdose more easily, and you can be infected by dirty needles.
How Does Heroin Make You Feel?
Right after taking heroin, you get a rush of good feelings and happiness. Then, for several hours, you feel as if the world has slowed down. You think slowly and may walk slowly. Some users say you feel like you're in a dream.
In an Illinois study of suburban heroin users, some described the feeling as "covered in a warm blanket, where worries are gone."
The drug can cause nausea and Vomiting. It also makes some people itch. It blocks you from getting pain messages and slows both your heart rate and breathing. If you overdose, you may stop breathing and die.
Many people use heroin to treat their anxiety, worries, and other stressors. This Illinois study found 75% of users had mental health issues such as depression, ADHD, or bipolar disorder.
Why Are More People Using Heroin Today?
Use of heroin nearly doubled between 2007 and 2012.
Drug experts say this is largely linked to growing abuse of prescribed painkillers such as Oxycontin and Vicodin, which are also made from the poppy plant. People who misuse these drugs may be looking for a stronger, cheaper high. Heroin is both. But it's more dangerous. There's no way to know how strong what you're taking is or what it's mixed with.
Sometimes it's laced with other drugs. Heroin overdose deaths doubled between 2010 and 2012. A spike in overdose deaths early in 2014 is believed to be linked to heroin laced with the powerful painkiller fentanyl.
While illegal, heroin can be easier to come by than some prescription painkillers. To meet a growing demand, drug traffickers have increased production, and have boosted the amount of the drug smuggled into the U.S.
What Are the Effects of Heroin?
If you use heroin often, your body builds a tolerance to it. That doesn't mean it won't harm you. It means you need to take more and more to get the same high, and your body starts depending on it. If you try to quit using, you'll feel jittery, get chills, vomit, have bone and muscle pain, and feel other withdrawal symptoms.
Heroin use can lead to:
- Collapsed veins
- Infections of the heart lining and valves
- Skin infections like abscesses and Cellutis,
- High risk of getting HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C
- Lung diseases, like pneumonia and tuberculosis
- Miscarriage
What to Do if You Think Someone Is Using
A person on heroin may not look like she's "on drugs." She may just seem sleepy. Addicts almost always deny that they are using.
If you think a friend or family member is using heroin, don't wait and hope things will get better. Act right away. The sooner a person gets help, the better.
Heroin addiction can be treated. Contact the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence to find services near you.
If you think someone is overdosing, call 911 right away. Treatment needs to happen within minutes. The proper medication, if given quickly, can reverse heroin's effect. In fact, the FDA has approved a prescription treatment that can be used by family members or caregivers to treat a person known or suspected to have had an opioid overdose. A heroin overdose is characterized by slowed breathing and heart rate, and a loss of consciousness. Evzio (naloxone hydrochloride injection) rapidly delivers a single dose of the drug naloxone via a hand-held auto-injector that can be carried in a pocket or stored in a medicine cabinet. Although Evzio can counter overdose effects within minutes, professional medical help is still needed.

on the Costa Blanca, Spain
holiday home with swimming pool in the Costa Blanca
Never far from the sea, on the Costa Blanca, Spain
with shared swimming pool and garden
Private pool and terraces
Alfaz Del Pi
Balcon al Mar Jávea
Cumbre del Sol Moraira
Javea Moraira and surroundings
Holiday homes Denia
This typical Spanish city has remained true to its origins which is precisely why it is so appealing to tourists. Daily life of local residents takes place mostly outside, on the restaurant terraces and cafés. The wide, long beaches make sunbathing and swimming a real treat. In the harbour the boats are waiting, ready to visit Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca.
Holiday homes Jávea
Level with Ibiza, Jávea (Xabia) is situated on the Costa Blanca. A wonderful place to holiday for those seeking a hospitable village without getting lost in the crowd. The old village is typically Spanish, where freshly caught fish is brought to the harbour and the boulevard on the seafront is always atmospheric. The wide sandy beach meets a clear clean sea.
Holiday homes Moraira
This is not a high-rise holiday resort, but rather an authentic Spanish fishing village. Walking along the harbour and then stopping to eat at one of the many restaurants. A little later a leisurely stroll back along the many shops and cafés. You enjoy the quiet and take a well earned break. In Moreira and the surrounding area you will find beautiful villas in which to take a luxury holiday.
Holiday homes Calpe
The seaside resort of Calpe is now officially known as Calp, the ancient Valencian name. Renowned is the characteristic Peñón de Ifach rock with the beautiful natural park. The place is aimed at tourism and has many shops and restaurants. There are three clean beaches with fine sand. Just outside of the centre are many holiday villas available for rent.
Holiday homes Benissa
Situated inland, close to the motorway that crosses the Costa Blanca is Benissa. This medieval village has not yet been discovered by tourists. Nevertheless, the neo-Gothic church Cathedral de la Marina and the view over the hills from the Avenida del Pais Valencia are worth the effort. Towards the direction of coastline you will find many urbanizations with a wide range of holiday villas.
Holiday homes Altea
The resort of Altea extends from the coast with a pleasant boulevard and the old town, to the urbanizations built on the hills. The centre is dominated by the blue-white domes of the Nuestra Señora del Consuelo. Around the church is the beautiful square and attractive terraces.
Holiday in Alfas del PI
This fortified village near the Sierra Helada withstood many attacks from Berber pirates. It's a few kilometres inland but the Playa Albir is never too far away. The elongated centre features many nice shops, restaurants and terraces. With its many villas Alfas del Pi is an excellent base for exploring the coast of Benidorm, Albir and Altea.
Holiday homes Albir
Just north of Benidorm you will find a lovely boulevard with cafés, fashionable boutiques and plenty of sun, sea and sand. Albir comes alive in July with the annual film festival. Where you could be walking across the promenade amongst the palm trees with film stars. Somewhat sophisticated but the village is equally welcoming to everyone.
Holiday homes Finestrat
If you are looking for sun and sea you have a great selection here from several large and small beaches that connect Finestrat with Benidorm. In the shelter of the mountains it is always windless. The sea is clear and calm and is highly suited to diving. El Puig Campana is a few kilometres away challenging you to mountain climbing, mountain biking and hiking.
Holiday homes Polop
Looking for an idyllic Spanish farming village for your holiday? Then rent a holiday home around Polop with its many antique shops and galleries. You will fall in love with the winding streets and the white houses on the hillside with stunning views. A visit to the Arabian fortress and Font dels Xorrets water source are worth the effort.

Has anyone in China bought Raspberry Pi ?
If so what is the easiest and cheapest way ?
Though the product is made in china but still its more expensive here funny !rasbeer wrote:Ironically it might be easiest & cheapest for you to order from RS in the UK. When I checked, the Chinese all-in price was slightly higher than the price shipped from the UK, and you wouldn't have to deal with a Chinese language website (which might not accept foreign credit cards).
Taxes on electronics are quite high in China - you'll notice if you try to buy a PC. Shame really :sraspfly wrote:Though the product is made in china but still its more expensive here funny !
Some websites accept cash transfers - you get their bank details, take cash to a branch of the same bank & the transfer's free. Not sure if RS will do this though.Yes a large number of websites / atm's here have problem with international cards.
The problem is that the URL the website provides is invalid/broken.Thank you, your registration has been successful.
We have received extraordinary levels of demand for this product. To help ensure as many people as possible can experience the Raspberry Pi concept, we are limiting boards to one per customer, and we will send you further information on your request in the next seven days. Once we receive the boards into stock, they will be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis, in order of when requests were received.
Thank you for your patience; we will be in touch as soon as possible with more details.

Answered By: Rich Gause Last Updated: Dec 12, 2014 Views: 285
No. Textbooks for classes should be purchased through normal venues. The Interlibrary Loan office cannot order textbooks.
See the Interlibrary Loan Department's FAQ for additional information.
The library does not borrow required textbooks via Interlibrary Loan. Why?
Interlibrary Loan services are intended to assist students and faculty with the short term borrowing of supplementary materials that they might need for class related research, but which are not owned by UCF's libraries.
Purchasing textbooks is part of usual college expenses, along with paying tuition and dorm/rental expenses and buying school supplies, a parking pass, and a meal plan.
Some textbooks, lab manuals, and course packs are created especially for and used only by UCF courses, so they are not available anywhere else.
Very few libraries interlibrary loan textbooks for their students.
Even fewer libraries have the newest editions as soon as they are printed and required for use by professors for classes.
Of those libraries that do purchase textbooks, the textbook collection is usually reserved for their campus-use only and are not loaned to other libraries.
Requested books can usually take up to two weeks to arrive, so students are already far behind in their class work and reading by the time the books get here.
Students only get to keep a book borrowed through ILL for about three weeks. There are often no renewals for interlibrary loans.
Because of the above situation, some students might be tempted to keep borrowed materials after their due date in order to have them for classes. This creates a very awkward position for us in the community of libraries with whom we share materials. The UCF library may not be able to borrow from the lending library for any UCF student or staff member if we have been put in this unfortunate position.
Though most interlibrary loans do not cost you anything, they often cost the library around $30 or more per request. The library does not have the funding to request hundreds of student textbooks, each of which will only be able to be kept for a few weeks.
Options to purchasing new textbooks can include renting the textbook from the UCF bookstore, purchasing used texts from the UCF bookstore, or sharing with your classmates.

I had the chance to attend the press event for Rob Zombie's newest film, Halloween II, and, while they made it expressly clear that the print of the film that we viewed was not a reviewable copy (bullshit), I was lucky enough to participate in a roundtable interview with the people responsible. So, while my specific thoughts on the film in any reviewable format are not an option, the land of press relations can sometimes be a fruitful one, and Mr. Zombie was candid enough to give us insight into the continuously depressing state of film production, information about a possible, upcoming project, and confirmation that there is indeed a 2nd cut of the film. So, enjoy the interview, and, if you're a fan, be sure to check out Halloween II this Friday.
What's the fun in horror movies? What's it all about?
ROB ZOMBIE: That's funny. That's the same question that they just asked me in the other room, and I didn't really have a good answer. For me, it's just movies, period. Not just horror movies. I just like dark, violent material.
ZOMBIE: I don't know why. It's funny because I'm writing this thing about A Clockwork Orange for the DGA magazine, and, while doing some research, I realized that Roger Ebert gave it a horrible review back in 1972, and every reason that he gave for hating it is exactly why I like it.
[Laughter] Hard childhood?
ZOMBIE: I don't know, I guess. Everybody's life is weird and fucked up, so you like to see things that are weird and fucked up, I guess.
What was the first movie to scare you as a kid?
ZOMBIE: I think probably the scariest thing, as weird as it sounds, was The Wizard of Oz and the flying monkeys with the witch. I remember seeing that – it STILL seems freaky. That was fucked up.
Willy Wonka scared the shit out of me.
ZOMBIE: Yeah, that too. Even then, you would watch something like Frankenstein, and it wouldn't even seem scary, but The Wizard of Oz was a fucking freak show, man.
Obviously, you had quite a time restraint to get this movie into theatres this week, so I hope it didn't compromise what you wanted to do. Is the movie that is coming out in theatres what you set out to do? Will there be a longer, director's cut?
Because I know that there is tons of material that didn't make it into the movie.
ZOMBIE: Except for The Devil's Rejects I feel that everything has been compromised in some way by scheduling, because it was the only movie that I ever worked on that had no release date. We worked on it until we got it right (or at least until we thought that we got it right.) I looked it at it and said, "there is nothing left that I want to change. There is nothing left that I want to do." Whereas I have never had that luxury since, I'm not sure what would be different, but editing is a crucial time, and, when you get rushed through that process, you are never sure that you got exactly the perfect take of every actor – the perfect moment, because there is so much footage to go through.
I mean, you do your best to do it with the time you have, but, in regards to the director's cut, there is another version of the movie that is very different that will probably be the "director's cut." There were two ways that we could have cut the movie. The difference really lies in Laurie's character. In the theatrical, she is sort of holding it together, and she begins to spiral downward, but in the other version she's an incredible mess and gets worse. I mean, she never has any good moments. She is horrible, messed up on drugs, and completely spun out through the whole movie, which makes for a really challenging movie to watch, and I feel like fans wouldn't have embraced so much darkness.
** Spoiler warning**
Is there still a white horse motif in that version?
ZOMBIE: Yeah, everything in that version is the same except for her scenes. Her relationship with Annie is horrible, and they are at each other's throats throughout the entire movie, which they weren't in the theatrical.
Could you talk about the inspiration for the white horse?
ZOMBIE: The white horse thing was me trying to find some significant thing that would be a through line… It really could have been anything. It isn't like that is so significant, but it's a minor event in young Michael's life that he has stuck in his brain that I can then tie through to Laurie. The white horse is such a great, visual image, and when I started researching the meaning of dreams (but that seems like a bunch of bullshit to me), they all had a lot of significance with the white horse, so it just seemed like the perfect, childlike image to carry through.
** End spoiler**
This movie seems to be more your style, so how did the two differ for you?
ZOMBIE: This film to me is more of a logical follow-up to The Devil's Rejects, where Halloween felt like a weird sidestep that, I think because it was someone else's material, kind of messed with me. I made the first half of the movie my thing and the second half, I felt, I should bring in more John Carpenter beats because that's what people are going to be expecting, but, as soon as I started doing that, I don't think I had quite the same enthusiasm for the film that I did when it was new stuff. That's why, with this movie, I tried to flip all of them [them characters] upside down and make them my characters.
What do you think of Hostel and the Saw series?
ZOMBIE: [After explaining that he doesn't see many scary movies in theatres] It gets weird because I really want to go to Eli's movies to support Eli. Saw – I saw the first one but haven't seen the other ones. It's not my type of thing. Even if they are awesome, it's just not my type of thing.
His thoughts on labels such as "torture porn:"
ZOMBIE: I'm definitely of the mindset of "I wouldn't want to be part of any group that would have me as a member." If there is one thing that, as a director, you don't want to be a part of, it's a group. It's the same thing with music. I don't want to be a part of a scene. Just leave me alone. It's just my nature, and it's nothing against the people that are in that group, but I just like to be left alone.
Is Tyrannosaurus Rex really about a dinosaur?
ZOMBIE: No, actually it's not at all. It's actually a boxing movie. It's about this guy who's name is Rex, and his nickname is Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's about this washed up prize fighter who goes to prison for assaulting these guys in a bar because he's got this born to lose personality. By the time he gets out of prison, he is too old to box, so he gets caught up in underground fighting and is so filled with rage that he can't control himself in normal society. So that's pretty dark. That might be my next movie.
Would you hope that this would go back to, as you said about The Devil's Rejects, giving you the freedom to take your time [in producing it]?
ZOMBIE: I will not make another movie under these circumstances. When you lock a movie's release date and then movie it two months, it's just not good. It's good for everything but the cast, crew, and people who are creatively trying to make a film. Post is the part that can make or break a film. With Devil's Rejects, we didn't have reshoots [it had a low budget], but we had the time to craft it. Luckily, I always use the same editor, and he immediately gravitates toward the takes that I like. The problem is that nobody makes movies anymore – they make schedules and they make budgets.

The American ambassador Pete Hoekstra refuses to say whether he still believes that politicians are being set on fire in the Netherlands, as he claimed in the past. He started his job on January 10, 2018 and gave a press conference afterwards. However, two weeks ealier he had an interview with a correspondent of a well known Dutch TV program.

Fireworks erupt over Sydney Harbour Bridge. Photograph: EPA
A week ago the Sydney Harbour bridge turned 75 years old, and Sydney threw it a party - as well it might, for the bridge has made the city recognisable all over the world. Spanning the harbour from Dawes Point to Milsons Point, it is a scrumptious thing, a triumph of civil engineering, an entirely functional monument. Its hugeness is made even more impressive by the contrast of its leaping arc with the low meandering coastline of the harbour, by its own reflection in the water, and by its unrivalled suitability for spectacular firework displays. It has also served as a charismatic public forum. On May 28 2000, a quarter of a million Sydneysiders, who could not brook the Australian prime minister's refusal to apologise to the Aboriginal peoples of Australia for the removal from their families of generations of Aboriginal children, walked the bridge en masse, while overhead a plane drew the word "Sorry" in white vapour against the cobalt-blue sky.
The roadway that crosses the bridge is called the Bradfield Highway, in homage to John Bradfield, the civil engineer who, most Australians believe, designed it. History relates that in 1924 the New South Wales government accepted the tender of Middlesbrough firm Dorman Long, who had secured the services of Ralph Freeman, from consulting engineers Fox and Partners, to supply the design of the bridge and its foundations. There is nothing in Sydney named for Ralph Freeman, of whom few Australians have ever heard. When the bridge was opened in 1932, there was a suggestion that a plaque be affixed to it naming Bradfield as the designer, a suggestion that was dropped when Dorman Long threatened to sue. Ralph Freeman's design for the bridge and its foundations is filed at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London, but Australians seem reluctant to consult it.
One of the reasons the NSW government accepted the Dorman Long tender is that the firm agreed to comply with a requirement to source as many of the components as possible within the state of NSW. The granite for the bridge pylons and piers was quarried at Moruya in southern NSW, and 20% of the steel was supplied from Broken Hill. The rest was prefabricated on Teesside and shipped out to Sydney where it was put together with hot rivets - 6m of them, we are told. Ironically, a very similar design had been submitted in 1902 and ultimately rejected because the judges thought it ugly, and far too high, the top of the arch being 420ft above the water level; the existing bridge is actually 445ft high. The 1902 design lacked the pylons that appear to anchor and compress the structure, though in fact they don't.
It is sometimes said that the single-arch bridge built by Dorman Long over the Tyne at Newcastle is the model for the Sydney Harbour bridge, but this was opened only in 1929, five years after the Dorman Long tender had been accepted. The real model is almost certainly the Hell Gate arch over the East River in New York, designed by Gustav Lindenthal, which was, when it opened in 1916, the longest single-arch bridge span in the world and a civil engineering marvel in its own right.
Though we really cannot accord Bradfield the credit for the final bridge design, it was he who thought of it as essentially a railway bridge on the lines of the Hell Gate arch. He correctly predicted that Sydney would grow into a metropolis of more than two million people. He engineered the Sydney underground railway system, of which the proposed bridge had always been an integral part, and he recommended that the government accept the Dorman Long tender. In 1930 he was summarily sacked by the Railway Commissioners, but the NSW government continued to use him as their liaison with the contractors and supervisor of the bridge works. He is reported to have mixed the paint, kept the painted steel in his garden to see how it weathered and been on hand whenever concrete was to be poured.
The most puzzling thing about the bridge is who provided the money to build it. During its construction, a tax was levied, and once it was opened the toll paid by users of the bridge was supposed to cover the bill.
According to most accounts, the debt was not cleared until 1988, by which time the cost had no more than doubled. Whoever gave Sydneysiders 60 years to pay for their bridge at such low interest did them a huge favour, but no one is saying thank you.
Memory is curiously selective. When Paul Hogan first began to appear on Australian TV, he was part of the icon. He brought to the small screen the sardonic humour he shared with his workmates, the riggers on the Sydney Harbour bridge. But Crocodile Dundee, Australian of the Year in 1985, didn't figure at the bridge's 75th birthday party. Instead he is billed to star in a A$300m tax fraud investigation. Dorman Long, who brought the bridge to completion on time and under budget in 1932, did not show up either - perhaps because they were too busy, having been called in to sort out the design muddle made by Australian firm Multiplex of London's soon-to-be famous landmark, the steel arch over the new Wembley Stadium.

Nokia Launches Aluminum body Lumia 925 in London, € 469, Available June
Nokia has launched the new Lumia 925 in London at a press conference today. While all Lumia phones till date have been plastic the new Lumia 925 has a completely Aluminum Frame. While most of the specs remain same and the phone has the same dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 1GB RAM and 8.7-megapixel OIS camera of the 920, the Lumia 925 is almost 50 grams (1.8 ounces) lighter than last year's Lumia 920.
Even with the 8.8mm profile, there's an identical 2,000mAh battery but the Wiless charging has been removed to accomodate the profile of the new Lumia 925. For those who are disheartened, an accessory cover can be had which will re-enable said wireless features. The colors include red, yellow, black and white. The Lumia 925 model also sports an 4.5-inch AMOLED screen with the resolution of the Lumia 920 (1280 x 768px) it will enjoy superior black levels thanks to the Amoled tech in the display.
The display also has Gorilla Glass 2, with ClearBlack tech and a high-brightness mode for improved outdoor visibility and hopefully the same hyper touch tech that lets you use the Lumia 920 with gloves on.
The Camera is the same 8.7-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor, but Nokia has added another lens to make it a 6 Carl Zeiss Lens camera, this 6th lens element improves sharpness of images.
Lumia 925 Camera Samples
The Lumia 925 will launch in parts of Europe and China this June, priced at 469 euros (roughly $609 or INR 33500), India should see similar pricing and availability this summer.

We arrived at our apartment at Cheval Three Quays in the early evening and as we were shown to our accommodation and the curtains were drawn back, there really ought to have been a drum roll. We were, like, completely wowed.
From our balcony, a panoramic vista took in the River Thames as it reflected glittering lights from the buildings hugging its banks and beyond. To our right were iconic landmarks such as The Shard and to our left, London Bridge lit up in all its glory. Plus, thanks to the fact that we had a 'corner suite' – we also got a great view of our nearest neighbour: The Tower of London, no less.
A pair of binoculars was thoughtfully placed on a table next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, so we could have a good nose at life on the river and the fantastic architecture all around.
We'd travelled to London on First Great Western's service into Paddington, so had let the train take the strain. Then just a half hour trip on the tube to Tower Hill, and a short walk across a concourse that passes right by The Tower of London and we arrived at the apartment – standing proud on the banks of the river. It's close to Borough Market, the 'City of London', London Bridge and more. It's also just a short taxi ride to the West End – but if you're keen walkers like us and don't mind making the journey part of the day out – a pleasant jaunt along the river. Clean, fresh and contemporary, it's my idea of a dream pad in the City.
Our two-bedroom apartment was spacious and modern – part of the newest addition to the Cheval Residences' portfolio – a collection of short and long-stay serviced properties around London. Both bedrooms – a double for us and a twin for our sons – were ensuite; one with a bath and overhead shower, the other with a large walk-in shower.
The living area was large and light, with a sofa and beanbags and included a kitchen fully-equipped with all you could need to rustle up a meal – plus one of those coffee makers with pods (because anywhere that's anywhere just has to have one these days). Of course, you're in London so you're spoilt for choice if you want to eat or drink your Flat White out on the town, too, as there are so many cafés and restaurants close by.
A Welcome Basket with biscuits and crisps, plus milk, yogurts and coffee was waiting for us. And for the boys, a little bag of treats on their beds labelled with an 'Alice-in-Wonderland' type tag reading 'Eat Me' was another nice touch.
There were complimentary dressing gowns and slippers to use during our stay, plus luxurious Hermes toiletries in the bathrooms ensured top-notch pampering. The apartment is cleaned daily when you're out and about enjoying city life – so it's like hotel-living, but with masses of space.
We enjoyed a visit to the National Theatre and plenty of other site-seeing and shopping stops on our London break – and the apartment made for a perfect family base.
And that view? We never stopped being wowed by it. The only downside is that we're not sure how anywhere else we stay in London is going to top it.
For further information, or to book, visit www.chevalresidences.com
We travelled to London on First Great Western Trains, which runs services on the lines between London Paddington, South Wales, the Cotswolds and the West of England. For times and prices, see www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk

At a time when stock prices are plunging, unemployment rates are soaring and many Americans are struggling with uncertainty regarding their economic futures; it's encouraging to see elected officials like Assemblymember Mariko Yamada raising awareness about an issue that is affecting a steadily increasing number of Californians.
The Food Stamp Challenge is an opportunity to not only experience, first-hand, the budgeting constraints that millions of Californians face on a regular basis, but it's also an opportunity to take stock of our individual eating and food-spending habits. For instance, have you ever considered how much money you spend on food daily? Weekly? Annually? How would you respond if you suddenly found yourself unable to enjoy or afford some of your favorite treats and dishes?
Assemblymember Yamada's reflections of each day's meals and activities give insight into the necessity of making smart decisions, and, oftentimes, difficult choices in the wake of severely limited resources. We thank and salute Assemblymember Yamada for, once again, taking the Food Stamp Challenge! We also want to thank our partners at the Yolo County Food Bank for working with Assemblymember Yamada on this project. For more information about Assemblymember Yamada's comments, see their blog at http://yolofoodbank.blogspot.com/.
Here, at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, staff members are joining Assemblymember Yamada by taking the challenge during the month of September. September is Hunger Action Month, a month where the Food Bank asks everyone to take action in the fight against hunger. Food Bank staffers are taking the Food Stamp Challenge from September 20-24. Join us on September 25 for our Open House at our new warehouse in Fairfield where you can hear the experiences of those that took the challenge. To learn more about the Food Stamp Challenge or more activities you can participate in for Hunger Action Month, visit www.foodbankccs.org/hungeractionmonth.

It was also envisioned as a gateway to the city, then located primarily to the station's south. Jules Coutan's central sculptural group depicts Mercury (the god of commerce) supported by Minerva and Hercules (representing mental and moral strength). After the original Pennsylvania Station was demolished in 1963, Grand Central Terminal was landmarked. This innovative complex integrates the train system with an intricate web of urban conditions.

What Startups Should Worry About: Peldi Guilizzoni's 2010 Business of Software Conference Presentation
What Startups Should Worry About: Peldi Guilizzoni's 2010 Business of Software Conference Presentation
This post is part of a series of posts from the 2010 Business of Software conference (BoS2010). For a summary of the conference, and an index to the other presentations, click here.
Peldi's 2010 Business of Software presentation: "Do Worry… Be Happy!" – One thing they don't tell you about quitting your job to become a startup CEO is how much you're going to worry about things.
Peldi was my favorite BoS2010 presenter. He started off with a really cool Bobby McFerrin video, and kept the energy going all the way to the end. His presentation was candid, and very inspiring. I hope they post Peldi's presentation online, because there is no way I can do it justice here.
After his presentation, I had the opportunity to talk to Peldi. He's such a nice guy! He's very humble, and someone you can easily relate to. He's the type of guy you want to succeed.
What Startup Owners Worry About
What do startup owners worry about? Everything! What should startup owners worry about? Well, not everything.
It's actually really hard to choose to ignore certain threats, but it's crucial for your business's success. Deciding what's worth worrying about is not an easy task, and can seem daunting at times – but it's a necessary skill to learn. And even more important than learning to decide which concerns are worth worrying about, is learning to cope, and live with, the uncomfortable emotions that result from trying to ignore these lesser important issues.
In his 2010 Business of Software presentation, Peldi shares some of the issues that concern him, and discusses which ones are worth worrying about, and which ones are not. Peldi also shares some tips to overcome, and deal with, those fears.
Why You Should Listen to Peldi
Why should you listen to Peldi? Well just take a look at his revenue chart below. $2M in just 27 months! I'd say he knows a thing or two about running a successful software business.
What Startup Owners Should Not Worry About
Peldi started off by discussing three common fears startup owners worry about, but shouldn't.
Asking customers to pay for your product. We have been paying for products since the beginning of time – I want something you have, so I'll trade you for something you want (usually cash). But, for some reason we have this weird aversion towards paying for software. (Side note: I'm not totally sure why that is, but I suspect it has something to do with the internet being "free", and the wide abundance of free software you can find online these days. My guess is that pre-internet it wasn't so hard to imagine someone paying cash for a piece of software.)
So, don't worry about asking customers to pay for your product – it's a basic concept. And in general, if you have a decent product, people will pay for it. HubSpot co-founder, Dharmesh Shah, and other startup experts, suggest you start charging for your product as soon as possible, because you get way better feedback from paying customers.
Not having enough time. There will never be enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you need to. We all have this problem, and it's one that will never go away, but worrying about it will only make things worse – and take your time away from working on real issues. Prioritize your tasks, and complete the most important ones first. The rest can wait until tomorrow.
Pirates. Software pirates that is…not the ones off the coast of Somalia. You'll never have 100% guarantee that no one will steal your software. You can take steps to prevent most people from doing so, but you'll be hard pressed to stop a really determined individual. Plus this is becoming more of a non-issue these days with the movement towards SaaS. The little bit of money you will lose from software pirates is not worth the time spent trying to stop them. Don't worry about it, take it as a compliment, and move on.
Common Startup Fears
When to quit your full-time job. After working on his wireframing tool part-time for several months, Peldi decided to take a leap of faith, and quit his job at Adobe. This was before his company was profitable. Making this decision is not an easy one, and will vary from person to person. There are a lot of things you need to consider, such as:
- How much savings you have
- Who else this decision will impact (do you have kids, a wife/husband, or other dependents)
- Your risk tolerance
- How far away your startup is to profitability
- The likelihood of success
Having competition. You should embrace your competition. Competition is a validation of your market, and your idea. If there is no competition maybe that means there is also no market to be had. In fact, you want to create something so good that people will want to copy it. You can also learn from your competition's mistakes to make your product even better.
Building the wrong product. What if no one wants to buy your product? That's a reasonable fear to have. It's important to be flexible, and realize that your final product may not look anything like your initial vision. The key is to fall in love with the problem, not the solution. Listen to your customers, and modify your product if necessary. In the beginning, customer feedback is far more important than money, because it allows you to shape your product into something that the masses will want, and pay for.
Work/Life balance. You can't spend every waking moment working on your business, and ignore your family in the process. You need a good balance that works for you, and your family. After all, they're probably the reason why you're doing this. Peldi's strategy is to work while his family is sleeping, so they won't know that he's ignoring them.
Not being noticed. These days everyone wants to get on TechCrunch, or on the front page of Digg. The trick is to be so remarkable you can't be ignored. Getting noticed is great – it's what you want. But be careful what you wish for, it can also be a bad thing if you're not prepared.
Picking a niche that is too small. A small market can be a good thing for a startup, because it is much easier to lead. Peldi gave the example of Bingo Card Creator – a very small market. Seriously, when was the last time you had to create your own Bingo cards?…When was the last time you played Bingo? Although it's a tiny niche, Patrick McKenzie (a BoS2010 Lightning Talk speaker) is making it work. And so can you.
Finding advisors/mentors. Peldi has no formal method for finding advisors. The most important thing is to be yourself. The best advisor is one who you feel comfortable with, and can trust. It does you no good to have the top expert in your field (better known as Frank to those of us who attended BoS2010) as an advisor, if you can't feel comfortable enough with him to discuss all of your business problems in excruciating detail. So look for someone you click with – someone who would be your friend even without the expertise.
Learning. Peldi suggests you read as much as you can. Especially before you start your venture, because you'll be too busy to read after you've started. Peldi highly recommends you read You Need To Be a Little Crazy: The Truth About Starting and Growing Your Business. The book details all the horrible things that can go wrong while running a business. Peldi says it'll scare you more than anything. However, if you still decide to pursue your venture after reading it, not only are you truly committed to the idea, but you will also be ready for the troubles that lay ahead.
Dealing with the business side. Most software startup owners are technical people. We are good at what we do technically, but we have no previous business experience. Developing a great product isn't enough to succeed, you also need business brilliance. Most of us have never worked with accountants or lawyers in the past, dealt with payroll or EULAs, or heard of terms such as accrual versus cash or NAICS codes. Peldi says you need to fake it. Pretend you have expensive lawyers and accountants behind you. Pretend you are the CEO of more than a one-man startup. Always say 'we' instead of 'I', even if it is just you.
Feeling like a fraud. Peldi has been extremely successful with Balsamiq, yet he doesn't feel he is at the same level as the other BoS2010 speakers. Feeling like a fraud is not all that uncommon among successful startup owners. In fact, research shows that 40% of successful people consider themselves frauds, and 70% of all people feel like fakes at one time or another. It's fine to have these thoughts. The trick is to use these thoughts to improve your product. Don't let them take over you, and destroy your business. Talk to an advisor, or other people you trust, about your fear – they will help you.
Raising capital. This isn't always necessary, especially for software startups which require very little capital to get started. One option is to retain your full-time job, and work on your venture part-time until it takes off. Another option is to use your savings to fund your startup. Unless you are looking to be the next Facebook, don't worry about raising capital, make due with what you can easily get.
When should you start hiring. It's important you don't hire employees too early. You could end up in a situation where you don't have enough work for them, but are still paying them just the same. Peldi waited a long time before hiring his first employee. His suggestion is to "wait until you are about to die" before hiring someone.
Forgetting something important. A great way to remember things is to write them down. Peldi chooses to blog. Blogging is a way to record what you've done, what you want to do, and ask for feedback from your customers/readers. A side benefit of blogging is its marketing effect. Blogging shows your human side, and hopefully your personality will shine through. People rather buy from people than companies.
Creating a business plan. Writing a business plan is a good way to organize your thoughts, and really think about the viability of your business idea. However, it's not something you should obsess over. The truth is that nobody reads business plans anyway. It's a must have if you are looking for investors, but don't fool yourself into believing that they will actually read the whole thing. And when an investor does look at it, he is just looking for all the reasons why he shouldn't do business with you. Investors also know that the financial projections in your business plan are completely unrealistic. So write a trimmed down version for yourself, and move on.
Key Takeaway From Peldi's BoS2010 Presentation
As you run your business, you will worry about almost everything, however, not everything is worth worrying about. Only worry about the important things – the rest will eventually work itself out.

Original recipe Source: Nishamadhulika.com
1. Gram flour – 500 gm
2. Sugar – 500 gm
3. Ghee – 400 gm
4. Cashew nuts – 50 gm
5. Cardamom powder – 1 tsp
Step 1: The first step is to prepare bura. To prepare this, heat a heavy bottomed pan add sugar and half a cup of water and stir continuously. After about 10-15 minutes you'll feel the sugar solidifying on the outer rim; at this point switch off the heat and let it cool by stirring. On doing this for about 15 minutes you'll get sugary powder. This is just the dissolved and recrystallized sugar in a uniform and finer texture that we call bura.
Step 2: Roast broken cashew nuts with some ghee in a heavy bottomed pan and keep it aside.
Step 3: In the same pan, melt the rest of the ghee in low heat and add gram flour to it and roast until aroma emanates and turns slightly brownish. Switch off the heat and let it cool a bit.
Step 4: Now in a big mixing tray or bowl, add bura, roasted gram flour cardamom powder, cashew nuts and mix thoroughly. The gram flour should be slightly warm to press ladoos.
Step 5: Take a ladle full of this mixture in your palm and press and roll continuously until you get a nice round ladoo. Repeat until the mixture is done.
* If the ladoo is not staying in form, heat some more ghee and add to the mixture.
* You can use almonds instead of cashews.
* You can place whole nuts at the center of the ladoo or even press one at the top of it.

Advocates: Child Care Less Affordable in Arizona than Many States
November 18, 2013
3 comments
Monday, Nov. 18, 2013
By ANNE M. SHEARER
Cronkite News Service
PHOENIX – Arizona is the seventh-least-affordable state for before-school/after-school child care, according to a study by a national advocacy group.
On average, such care cost an Arizona family $6,198 in 2012, according to Arlington, Va.-based Child Care Aware of America. The group measured the average cost against median income for a married couple – $70,149 in Arizona – to develop its rankings.
Only New York, Hawaii, Wyoming, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Arkansas were less affordable than Arizona, which tied with Kansas in the group's study.
The study also reported that infant care in Arizona, an area in which the state ranked as 16th least affordable, is only 10 percent cheaper than tuition at a public university here: $8,671 for infant care versus $9,729 in average annual tuition.
Arizona ranked as 13th least affordable in child care for a 4-year-old, with care costing $7,398 on average.
Liz Barker Alvarez, senior director of communications for the state-funded education organization First Things First, said that without affordable access to quality early learning and child care children may suffer socially and academically.
Quality child care at a young age helps children build skills that are crucial for their success in school and life, she said.
"It really helps them build their soft skills, like self-esteem, self-regulation and decision-making," she said.
Penelope Jacks, director of early childhood policy for the Children's Action Alliance Arizona, said that the cost of child care is one of the biggest burdens on families.
"By making child care so expensive that people can't afford it, it means that children are either going to very poor quality centers or they are not going at all and in either case they're not getting the academic boost they need," she said.
Jacks said that the cost of child care has become increasingly prohibitive since 2009, when the Legislature made deep cuts to Arizona Department of Economic Security's subsidies for child care.
DES reported that the number of children receiving child care subsidies was down 50 percent from 47,416 in January 2009 to 23,501 in August of this year.
As of Nov. 8, there were 6,435 children on the waiting list for DES child care subsidies.
The number of low-income working families receiving child care subsidies fell from 29,006 in January 2009 to 7,442 in August, DES reported.
Jacks said this is particularly worrisome because it pulls people out of the workforce.
"If you have two children who require child care and both parents are working minimum wage, there's no way that they can afford to pay for child care. One of the parents has to stay home. They simply cannot afford to go to work," she said.
Erin Raden, executive director of the Arizona Child Care Association, said that her organization is working to encourage the state Legislature to restore funding for the DES child care subsidy program.
"That would make a huge difference for families," she said.

Monica Lennon: To Change Society, We Must Take The Lead
There is no place for discrimination in the 21st century. It is abhorrent to all sense of human decency and equality – and is the fundamental opposite of Labour values.
Yet racism, prejudice, bigotry and sexism remain prevalent across all levels of society today.This is not a problem for just one party, but an issue for all of us as recent cases underline.
The Labour Party has always been at the forefront of the battle to change people's attitudes and perceptions.
As a party, we will always confront those who spout racist or prejudiced views. As a movement, we will always challenge those who seek to judge people by their colour, faith or gender.
To change society, we must take the lead.
That is why Scottish Labour agreed at its conference in Dundee to take the firmest possible action against discrimination in all its forms. To make sure we have the right policies and procedures in place, we have set up an independent advisory panel made up of external equality and diversity experts. The panel will bring forward recommendations and review Scottish Labour's approach to equality and diversity. The recommendations made by this group will be made public. This transparent approach is a sign of how committed we are to getting things right and we want to be held accountable for our actions.
The members of this independent advisory panel are non-partisan and should any other political party wish to pursue work in this area with any member of this group, there are no restrictions on a member supporting them. We believe that all political parties would benefit from this approach.
Our party needs to be representative of the people we seek to represent. It's crucial that our elected politicians reflect the diversity of the population and we believe equality needs to run through our organisation and our activities.
As we are on a general election footing we will soon be selecting candidates. We have agreed 15 out of the 20 marginal seats will be all-women shortlists and we want to see women applying in open selections too; regarding BAME members, we agreed a guaranteed place on shortlists where at least one BAME member puts themselves forward for selection, assuming the member fulfils the other candidacy requirements; and we are also seeking affiliation from the Scottish branch of BAME Labour to the Scottish Labour Party.
Whilst these are important equality measures, we fully understand that we need to foster a change in culture so that everyone who shares our values and wants to be part of Scottish Labour, feels welcome and able to fully participate. We know we have lessons to learn and that is why the independent panel is crucial; we need outside experts to be straight with us about what we can do better.
The Scottish Labour Party is committed to promoting equality and rooting out racism and discrimination in all its forms; the examples I've set out signal our intent.
Together, we can end racism and discrimination in society – and the Labour Party is determined to lead the way.

Don't squeeze that blackhead! There's a gentler way to get rid of it, and several steps you can take to prevent new ones from forming.
You Will Need:
* A medium-size pot of boiling water
* Tea tree, eucalyptus, or lavender essential oil
* A large towel
* A mild soap or facial cleanser
* Moisturizer containing retinol
* SPF 30 sunscreen
* Oil-free foundation
* Facial cleanser containing glycolic acid
* Baby shampoo
* Facial masks
* A dermatologist
* A natural sea sponge
Step 1: Don't pick them
Don't try to remove blackheads either with your fingernails or with any kind of instrument. Both can lead to infection and scarring.
Step 2: Steam your face
Boil a medium pot of water, add a few drops of tea tree, eucalyptus, or lavender essential oil, and place it on a table. Sit with your face over the pot for five minutes, with a towel draped over your head to trap the steam. The combination of steam and those particular oils will loosen existing blackheads. Repeat weekly.
Step 3: Wash your face
To prevent future blackheads, wash your face daily with warm water and a mild soap or cleanser that is color- and fragrance-free.
Step 4: Moisturize
Slather on an over-the-counter moisturizer containing the collagen-booster retinol every night after you wash your face. If you have sensitive skin, only use it every other day.
Step 5: Clean up your makeup act
Always use oil-free foundation, never put makeup on a sweaty face, remove makeup at night with a cleanser that contains glycolic acid, and clean makeup brushes and sponges with baby shampoo monthly.
Step 6: Put on a mask
Use a facial mask once a week. Clay masks are especially good for drawing impurities out of pores.
Step 7: Go to a pro
If new blackheads keep developing, consider going to a dermatologist for a medical facial.

Film studio Paramount Pictures released a first look at the film known for its looks with a trailer on Wednesday (Nov 18). The original Zoolander film, which was a spin-off of a VH-1 skit by Stiller, became a cultural phenomenon after it parodied the world of high fashion.
Once again the sequel is written and directed by Ben Stiller and features many big name cameos including Justin Bieber, Benedict Cumberbatch and Kristen Wiig. Will Ferrell returns as the fashion mogul who acts more like a James Bond baddie and only Derek and Hansel with their modelling powers can stop him.
Zoolander 2 will start hitting cinemas internationally from mid-February 2016.

Food Court Waste Audit and Waste Diversion in St. John's
On March 8, 2011, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on the 3rd floor of the University Center, the Sustainability Office and the Department of Geography launched a new project: a waste audit of the food court. The purpose of this audit was to find out what makes up the food court's waste and to inform the university community about recycling in St. John's.
At 2 p.m. in the Loft, 3rd floor of the UC, the results of the waste audit were announced. Directly after the announcement a presentation and discussion of waste diversion in St. John's was presented by Shelley Pardy of the City of St. John's Waste Management Division.
