Q: How to restrict users from editing certain fields on opportunity layout? Alright, so these are things i have to work with :
Assuming user u1, u2 and u3 (all have the same profiles),

*

*Same opp record type is assigned to all of them.

*If a custom field (sub_record_type__c) is = 'Subscription', then u3 should only be able change the 'Stage' and 'Close Date' of the opportunity. u1 and u2 and proceed as usual.

Now, currently, I have explored the option of dynamic page layouts, but it does not work for standard objects. So, currently, I have implemented a solution where I have a permission set assigned to u1 and u2, and check in the before update trigger to fire an error if u3 tries to change anything other than 'stage' and 'opportunity'. But this is not an elegant solution that I like as it is in the code and needs exception fields to be maintained.
Also, validation rules are a no go, as we will have to have a validation to check every field change for the user and maintain it for every field addition.
Is there another config way to solve this?

A: Sorry, You can't done this requirement due to it's complex behavior. Since the Opportunitiesfield (Stage and Closed Won) access has been stick with Profile or Permission set. So you can't provide and restrict those fields access based on any record values in that object on Salesforce.

You can only open the object/field access for any user by profile/permission  set. You can't restrict any existing Std. object/field access based on record value for that particular object.

The above is a Salesforce core concept of it's design.
Simply In Salesforce,

*

*You can restrict record access for any specific user by Restriction rule or Role Hierarchy or OWD settings.

*You can open the record record access for any specific user by Sharing rule or Role Hierarchy or OWD settings.

*You can Open the object/field access into any specific user by Profile or Permission set.

*You can't restrict any specific field access based on record value.

Thanks :(

People found using ambulances, essential goods vehicles to smuggle drugs
According to the Nepal Police, during the first nine months of the current fiscal year they have arrested 3, 888 individuals, including 135 foreigners, for possessing illegal drugs.

On Sunday, a police team from the District Police Office, Sunsari arrested a man from Koshi Rural Municipality who was allegedly smuggling a huge amount of cannabis to India.
The arrested person has been identified as 40-year-old Ganesh Yadav. According to a press statement issued by the District Police Office Sunsari, Yadav was caught with 165 kg of cannabis which he was trying to smuggle to India.
Similarly, on Thursday, during a regular security check, a police team from the District Police Office, Chitwan arrested an Indian national allegedly in possession of 270 kilograms of cannabis.
The man was identified as 25-year-old Pintu Kumar. According to the District Police Office Chitwan, Kumar was trying to smuggle cannabis to India through the Biratnagar border in a truck bearing Indian license plate (NL 01 N 5867). Further investigation into the case is underway.
Yadav and Kumar's are among thousands of arrests police have made while people were trying to smuggle contraband in and out of the country despite the country remaining under Covid-19-induced movement restrictions for the past several months. Even now most of the districts are under prohibitory orders aimed at stemming the spread of Covid-19.
In the fiscal year 2020-2021, Nepal Police across the country confiscated drugs worth millions. In the last nine months alone, the Narcotics Control Bureau of Nepal Police seized over 5, 447 kg of cannabis, over 255 kgs of opium, over 8 kgs of heroin and over 455 kgs of hashish.
With a view to combating the rising drugs smuggling via Nepal, the Nepal Police in 2012 had formed the bureau.
Headquartered at Koteshwar in Kathmandu, the bureau has its branches in Kakarbhitta, Biratnagar, Birgunj, Pokhara, Bhairawa, Nepalgunj, Mahendranagar and Surkhet.
According to Superintendent Rishi Ram Kadel, who is also the spokesperson for the bureau, drugs like cannabis, hashish and opium are exported to India from Nepal in large quantities while pharmaceutical drugs like Diazepam, Nitrovit and Buprenorphine are smuggled into Nepal from India.
"Despite the restrictions, people take risks to smuggle the contraband because drug users are willing to pay high prices for these contraband. So drivers do not hesitate to carry such illegal drugs as they can make a huge amount of money quickly," said Kadel. "Ambulances, water tankers and other vehicles carrying essentials have permits to travel even during restrictions, so smugglers are increasingly using such vehicles."
According to Kadel, in Nepal, Indian smugglers have also been found providing opium and cannabis seeds to encourage farmers to grow these crops.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the Kathmandu airport was also used as a transit point by smugglers to sneak out mostly cocaine. But since the start of the pandemic smuggling by air has come down and it has stopped since the suspension of international flights.
According to Nepal Police data, only over 31 grams of cocaine has been confiscated during the first nine months of the current fiscal year.
Nepal Police data of the last three years show there has been a decline in the arrest of smugglers.
In the fiscal year 2018/19, police arrested 5, 558 persons on drug smuggling charges. Of them, 201 were foreigners. In the fiscal year 2019/20, authorities arrested 4, 546 persons, including 10 foreigners. In the first nine month of 2020/21, a total of 3, 888 people including 135 foreigners have been arrested on smuggling charges.

Q: iPhone simulator path not found Currently I am working on video uploading app..my problem is that ,when I try to search simulator path in spotlight(I've also try this manually),I've got only iPhoneSimulator.platform file but in this file there are no any folders or path like 5.0/Media/DCIM etc.
If I Reset Contents and Settings from iOS Simulator menu. I found above path in my trash folder. I think it should not be hidden at all.
Any idea..?
XCODE 4.2
THANKS.

A: When You are working on Simulator, you Machine OS runs Behind it. :)
This is the Path where you can Find every thing Related to your Device Installation or apps Deployed by you on the Simulator :
/Users/"Your Home NAme "/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/Which version you use(4.3.2 "this is mine")/Applications

Hope you find your way now.. if any problem Reply plz..  :)

A: you want to look in "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/". in there you'll find one or more directories corresponding to the version of iOS used. in your case you should have a "5.0" directory. in there you'll find a bunch of dirs. if you're storing data in your application's Documents directory, go to "Applications/your app's ID/Documents".

Wetlands Watch
Skip Stiles of Wetlands Watch
Skip Stiles is the Executive Director of Wetlands Watch, a small non-profit based in Norfolk, VA, that works in the tidewater region of the state to protect and conserve wetlands. The organization is particularly concerned about the effects that projected sea level rise will have on wetlands, and is bringing these concerns to the attention of citizens and lawmakers on the state and local level. To learn more about wetlands protection and the impacts of climate change on these important ecosystems, visit www.wetlandswatch.org.
WestWind Foundation: What was the inspiration behind starting Wetlands Watch?
Skip Stiles: Wetlands Watch was formed as a classic "kitchen table" organization, where a bunch of citizens were upset about a dredging permit and decided to do something about it around kitchen tables here in Norfolk. They formed an effort to deal with one incident, but as they came into contact with the regulatory system they found that there were a whole bunch of systemic problems in trying to preserve wetlands. That led them to form the organization to try to address these systemic issues.
WWF: Why is wetlands protection important?
SS:Most people don't see wetlands, because they're usually behind the big house at the end of the point, or they think of wetlands as mucky and smelly. But wetlands are as productive as tropical rainforests; they're one of the most productive ecosystems in the world. Wetlands process nutrients, and in the process they create food that all the little critters eat, and then the bigger critters eat them. The North Carolina Coastal Federation says, 'No Wetlands, No Seafood.' That productivity is what makes wetlands so valuable.
WWF: How does wetlands protection figure into climate protection?
SS: The tidal wetlands are threatened by sea-level rise. Initial estimates show that we will lose anywhere between 50-80% of the tidal wetlands in the Chesapeake Bay region with accelerated sea-level rise due to climate change. There's also a nasty feedback loop at work in that wetlands are one of the biggest natural carbon sinks; they sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Some estimates are that wetlands absorb 100 tons of carbon per acre. So as these wetlands become inundated, or, in the case of non-tidal wetlands, dried out, all that carbon goes back in the environment as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. You not only don't get the sequestration, you get additional loading of CO2.
WWF: How do you cope with a political and legislative environment that has not yet prioritized wetlands and climate protection?
SS: That's our biggest challenge. We mostly do grassroots education and activism training, Kiwanis Club by Kiwanis Club. We're trying to change people's attitudes and educate them about wetlands and climate change and wait for chances to get our message across. So when we see that insurance companies are pulling out of Virginia because of increased risk from coastal storms and inundation, we take those facts and package them and create a bridge to interest the economic sector. So we're looking for events that we can use to bridge to non-traditional allies, such as hunting and fishing groups, some work with the faith community, and anyone who has a long-term interest in the coastal environment or coastal infrastructure. We've been talking to the hotel/motel folks here in coastal Virginia because they have an interest in what happens to the oceanfront. We find an OECD [Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development] study that says that Hampton Roads has the tenth largest set of assets at risk from sea-level rise and then we use that to talk to the business sector about how they need to get real about climate change and figure it into their work and their planning. I've found that there's a lot of acceptance of the problem from these non-traditional allies; the hard part is turning acceptance into action.
WWF: If you could secure passage of any legislation in the Virginia General Assembly, what would it be?
SS: I was on the Governor's Commission on Climate Change, and we came up with a whole set of recommendations. There's a lot of good stuff there. For the places where we're working, the first priority has to be the mapping that's needed to try to figure out where two feet of sea-level rise is going to go. Local governments are using maps that were drawn pen-on-paper in the 1970s. We need high-resolution, digital maps that cost about $6 million for tidal Virginia. First you do the mapping, and then you come back with a package of legislation that's focused at the local level so that these decisions are made in a wise manner to preserve the coastal ecosystems. The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act is at the nexus of land use and coastal ecosystems. The exceptions in it are everywhere, and the implementation of it is poor; if the Act could do what it is supposed to, you would be working on a big part of the problem. If the statute were allowed to work, it would actually give the local governments a lot of power over land use decisions, assuming they have the political will. And that's one of the things that we work on, developing broad citizen support for stewardship decisions at the local level. As for regulatory statutes, there's some easy fixes there, legislatively. Specifically, we should take our current best estimates of climate change into account: 3 degrees centigrade temperature increase and at least 2.3 meters of sea level rise. If you have to take those factors into account, then you're not going to allow as much wetland loss. Even under current law, Virginia has never met its "No Net Loss" pledge for tidal wetlands.
WWF: Wetlands Watch is a small organization with a staff of just one person. What strategies do you employ to make the most of limited resources?
SS: When I was in politics I learned that you either make waves or ride waves. If you're too small to make waves, you look for waves to ride. So we're constantly looking for events that energize the issues we're working on. In the case of climate change, it's storms, it's insurance companies pulling out, it's studies saying "you have huge assets at risk of sea-level rise." So we try to use some of these larger events to frame our issues. We've also started doing more with electronic media. We found a company that offered 10,000 free emails a month to non-profits, and we do an e-newsletter. We've found a company that offers free licenses for their data management software. We've also partnered with larger organizations, and last year we did joint press releases with National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Defense Council. We needed their media savvy and exposure to multiply our impact, and they needed someone on the ground. A lot of larger groups don't have the kind of legs on the ground that we're trying to build, so these partnerships are coming at us.
WWF: What are the most important steps that citizens can take to advance wetlands protection in Virginia?
SS: When we started we did a lot of activist training to get folks involved in the regulatory process. But when we realized that 99% of the permits get issued once the land is rezoned, we shifted more towards getting citizens involved in the comprehensive land use plans that each locality in Virginia is supposed to update every five years, because those reach 25 – 50 years in the future. In Virginia, that's the main place where a citizen can get involved in shaping the future of their locality. In a couple of instances we've teamed up with citizens' groups and used those comprehensive land use planning processes as a way of getting citizens organized and educated on land use planning, and hopefully leaving behind, after the comprehensive plan is done, a group of citizen watchdogs. So more and more we push people towards local land use because, given that Virginia is such a strong property rights state, once a piece of land has been "upzoned" you're pretty much going to see development occur.
WWF: What have proven to be the most effective ways to get citizens to take action?
SS: Because we're dealing with places that people are familiar with, we don't use an abstract concept of "Save the Wetlands", it's "Let's save this marsh in your backyard, in this watershed." This approach allows you to put a zip code on what is ordinarily an amorphous issue like wetlands conservation. People are motivated by climate change; we use the local NOAA [National Atmospheric and Oceanographic Organization] tide gauges to look at storm surges and map out recent storms. We show how the 2006 Thanksgiving nor'easter would have been a foot lower in 1906; and how a two foot sea level rise makes that same storm in 2106 worse than Hurricane Isabel. In coastal areas, people mark events by storms. If you can focus an abstract issue like climate change into a context that people can understand, such as the '56 storm, or that Nor'easter, and then add two feet to that storm surge, then you begin to engage people.
WWF: What has been your organization's biggest success to-date?
SS: Our biggest success has been the letter that we sent to Governor Kaine in May of 2007. We said, "you're going to lose anywhere between 50-80% of your wetlands if you don't do something about sea-level rise." Our board became aware of sea-level rise and realized that all the work they were doing would be for naught if the wetlands go under. A small group like us managed to get the sea-level rise and wetlands issue out. We also set up the press on that so that we got an amplification. It was a careful, considered approach, we didn't play 'gotcha!' with the Governor, we sent him the letter and sat on it, and then we did a considered press release. That resulted in my getting appointed to the Governor's Climate Change Commission, where we got a lot of good work done, and we focused a lot of attention on the urgency of this issue.
WWF: What is the biggest challenge that Wetlands Watch faces?
SS: It's the magnitude of the problem and our capacity. With only one staffer, there are days when you either do the work, or try to raise the money to do the work. We made the leap to paid staff, but now we're finding that no one from Maine to Mexico is working on these issues at the local level. There are a lot of people who would like us to come to meetings and talk to them, but we also have to get the work done. It really is a matter of capacity; we've caught the wave, but standing up is the real issue. We've got the right tools, but staying ahead of the issues is a real challenge when you're small like we are.

Population-based surveys currently face the problem of decreasing response rates. Mixed-mode designs are now being implemented more often to account for this, to improve sample composition and to reduce overall costs. This study examines whether a concurrent or sequential mixed-mode design achieves better results on a number of indicators of survey quality.
Data were obtained from a population-based health interview survey of adults in Germany that was conducted as a methodological pilot study as part of the German Health Update (GEDA). Participants were randomly allocated to one of two surveys; each of the surveys had a different design. In the concurrent mixed-mode design (n = 617) two types of self-administered questionnaires (SAQ-Web and SAQ-Paper) and computer-assisted telephone interviewing were offered simultaneously to the respondents along with the invitation to participate. In the sequential mixed-mode design (n = 561), SAQ-Web was initially provided, followed by SAQ-Paper, with an option for a telephone interview being sent out together with the reminders at a later date. Finally, this study compared the response rates, sample composition, health indicators, item non-response, the scope of fieldwork and the costs of both designs.
No systematic differences were identified between the two mixed-mode designs in terms of response rates, the socio-demographic characteristics of the achieved samples, or the prevalence rates of the health indicators under study. The sequential design gained a higher rate of online respondents. Very few telephone interviews were conducted for either design. With regard to data quality, the sequential design (which had more online respondents) showed less item non-response. There were minor differences between the designs in terms of their costs. Postage and printing costs were lower in the concurrent design, but labour costs were lower in the sequential design. No differences in health indicators were found between the two designs. Modelling these results for higher response rates and larger net sample sizes indicated that the sequential design was more cost and time-effective.
This study contributes to the research available on implementing mixed-mode designs as part of public health surveys. Our findings show that SAQ-Paper and SAQ-Web questionnaires can be combined effectively. Sequential mixed-mode designs with higher rates of online respondents may be of greater benefit to studies with larger net sample sizes than concurrent mixed-mode designs.

Today, the World's 50 Best Restaurants list was announced. New York City's very own Eleven Madison Park nabbed first place. An American institution has not taken number one since 2004 when Thomas Keller's California-based French Laundry won for the second time in a row. While no other U.S. restaurants made the top 10 this year, Blue Hill at Stone Barns came in at number 11, and Le Bernardin got 17th place. Three other American restaurants—Chicago's Alinea, San Francisco's Saison, and New York's Cosme—were also in the top 50. Below, the 10 best restaurants in the world.
1. Eleven Madison Park, New York, USACo-owners Will Guidara and Daniel Humm were announced as the winners in Melbourne today. Reservation requests may soon spike, but be forewarned—the restaurant will be temporarily closing this June for renovations. Guidara and Humm will, however, be operating a pop-up in the Hamptons this summer.
2. Osteria Francescana, Modena, ItalyModena has long been an underrated food capital of Italy. And lately, it has become a bona fide hot spot. Osteria Francescana's new award celebrating chef Massimo Bottura, will undoubtedly only crank up the buzz.
3. El Celler de Can Roca, Girona, SpainThe contemporary Catalan classic in the making is perhaps best known for its "Rainy Forest" dish. Unsurprisingly, the Roca brothers' restaurant has been ranked number one twice before. Top three, however, isn't all that bad.
4. Mirazur, Menton, FranceArgentine Mauro Colagreco serves up innovative takes on Mediterranean food at his restaurant on the French Riviera. The menu's fresh, produce-heavy dishes have helped seal its stellar reputation.
5. Central, Lima, PeruThe top-ranked Latin American restaurant this year, Central aims to explore Peru's biodiversity. Chefs Virgilio Martínez and Pia León are a husband-and-wife team clearly achieving an ecologically-inclined work-life balance.
6. Asador Etxebarri, Axpe, SpainVictor Arguinzoniz's rural restaurant is as flavorful as it gets. Wondering what to order? Crunchy corn with sea urchin is a specialty.
7. Gaggan, Bangkok, ThailandThis is the third consecutive year that chef and owner Gaggan Anand's restaurant has been named Asia's top restaurant. Its modern take on Indian cuisine is phenomenal, but its emoji-packed menu is also quite a crowd-pleaser.
8. Maido, Lima, PeruPeru—and Latin America's—second restaurant on the top 10 comes in at number eight. Chef Mitsuharu Tsumura was born in Lima and then studied in both the U.S. and Japan. Maido's tasting menu gives a colorful tour through Tsumura's vision of Japanese cuisine today.
9. Mugaritz, San Sebastian, SpainFlowers may not sound like the most appetizing earth-grown item to evoke on a menu, but Mugaritz's "dried hydrangea of cocoa" should change that. Still not impressed? Andoni Luis Aduriz's Basque restaurant serves guests 20 courses in any given meal.
10. Steirereck, Vienna, AustriaRounding out the top 10 is Heinz Reitbauer's Steirereck. Its area of expertise is modern Austrian dishes such as freshwater mountain fish cooked at the table in hot beeswax.

Lingerie E-tailer Adore Me Focuses on Offline Expansion and In-Store Customer Experience
April 26, 2018 March 17, 2019 / By Arielle Crane / Retail Trends / 4 minutes of reading
Adore Me has successfully been challenging the lingerie market with its online-first focus and affordable retail. As a digitally-native brand, it exceeded $100 million in revenue last year alone, and is setting sights on making a big physical imprint with 200-300 stores slated to open within the next five years. It's strategy is offering unique in-store experiences combined with omnichannel capabilities to build brand awareness and increase sales.
We sat down with Iris Voltaire, Adore Me's Business and Brand Development associate, to discuss the e-tailers's venture into pop-up stores, investing into brick-and-mortar, and its dedication to a strong consumer experience on all channels.
3D sketch of new Adore Me retail stores
Adore Me just announced its plans to open 200 to 300 stores in the next five years. Tell us about the brand's retail strategy.
We're constantly looking for new innovative offline ideas. In 2017, Adore Me hosted a 1-day pop-up store at the iconic World Trade Center's Oculus. Rather than a 4-wall store, the pop- up store was centered in the middle of one of NYC's busiest transportation hubs and designed as a 360-experience set.
The set featured a live, 9-hour-long fashion photoshoot, as well as a 16-feet-wide selfie wall for visitors to engage with. The pop-up store didn't have any merchandise sold on-site; instead, the set featured a freebie giveaway station with discount coupons that could only be applied online.
These types of engagements are very different from the classic retail store as the visitors were encouraged to engage with the brand offline and go on a shopping spree online when they're already at home. With our retail stores, we'll still continue to host these fun activations!
Why has Adore Me chosen to invest in brick-and-mortar?
Adore Me has successfully been challenging the traditional lingerie market since 2012 by selling inclusive, affordable, fast-fashion intimates online. To fuel further growth, and to articulate a stronger brand statement, we've decided to move into brick-and-mortar.

What has been the success of your previous pop-up stores?
We've seen a benefit from customers interacting with the brand in real life. Also, at our New York HQ, we have a by-appointment showroom where our customers are welcome to come in and receive a personalized, free, 45-minute one-on-one experience with our lingerie stylist. Our stylist will assist with finding the right styles, take measurements and guide them to find their perfect fit.
The response to this service has been very positive – thus, we're confident physical retail stores will be appreciated – reaching even more women across the country.
What are the brand's goals regarding a brick-and-mortar retail strategy vs. sticking to online-only?
For us, one does not rule out the other. Adore Me will always stay true to its digital DNA, delivering a strong customer experience across all platforms. We're confident that consumer demand for physical interaction with products maintains its stronghold, even with our online commerce. The trend we're seeing with today's startups is that they're changing the landscape of brick-and-mortar retail – offering unique in-store experiences combined with omnichannel capabilities.

What elements do brick-and-mortar retail stores bring for brands like Adore Me that digital platforms can't convey?
With the nature of e-commerce, the customer will not be able to touch, try or feel the product before she makes a purchase. In addition to physical retail stores, another recently introduced effort can serve as an example of trying to fill this gap – the Adore Me Elite Membership Program. This membership is a new subscription-based business model that lets customers try on clothes before they buy them – shipping and returns are free. The new model uses all our products and customer data to recommend and send personalized products to customers using different Machine Learning Algorithms, to create the most convenient way of shopping for lingerie.
How will Adore Me choose which cities to set up brick-and-mortar stores in?
Our customers are urban millennials, and we will open stores where they are – in the bigger cities across the country. We're starting with the first five stores on the east coast, in order to have proximity from our HQ and distribution center.

Technology giant Google, has partnered with the Philippines leading telecom company, PLDT Inc. and its wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. for the establishment of "open, free and high quality Internet access" in 50 locations around the country.
Google Stations will be located in public areas such as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminals 1-4, bus terminals, schools, Metro Rail Transit Line 3 and Light Rail Transit Line 2.
Google Stations allow users to access the Internet for 30 minutes at a time and there is no limit to the number of sessions they can avail of. However in order to access the service users have to go through the sign-in process for every 30-minute session.
In addition to the Philippines, Google Station has already been launched in India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria and Thailand.
Simon Tokumine, Google's group project manager for search said the new app, built for phones with less than 1GB RAM and those experiencing unstable and/or slow connections and is less than 5 MB to download. One of the apps key features is its ability to read to the user a webpage.
Google also announced that jobs will soon be included in Google Search and that this will allow users to find and track job listings from sites like the Civil Service Commission, the Department of Labor and Employment and Kalibrr.
Google Maps will also get an upgrade, including a number coding feature in partnership with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), which will "allow drivers to get to their destination while avoiding restricted roads." Maps also includes an update for motorcycle riders on iOS phones providing turn-by-turn navigation, as well as a street view update for Boracay Island.
Finally, Google announced its collaboration with PLDT Enterprise to help verify Filipino business profiles through an online process and support them to get their businesses listed on Google Maps and Search.

Historic accomodation here in the Golden Vale of county Tipperary, nestled between the main towns of Cashel and Thurles we are the perfect place to Stop, Shop & Relax.
It is said that once a famous horse trainer lived here once, he placed a sign hanging on a tree over the cross road
saying ' Horse and Jockey Inn' In Irish it is known as An Mharach.
This is how this pleasant village got its name. Where the village stands today, in 1740 two thatched cabins surrounded by several trees and open field marked the place.
The mail car operated by the British government used to stop to water their horses and after a while one of the cabin developed into a licensed Inn.
Shortly afterwards a new Inn was built on the premises. This Inn was set to give the crossroads village its name.
This road junction village has been part of the progression of a nation from subjection to freedom. The area has links with the United Irishmen especially Thomas Russell to the foundation of GAA, and it hurling club winning the All Ireland hurling championship of 1899 together with its victorious handball teams of the past. This is just part of a legacy of the gracious Inn. Soon after these events, came the changing times.
A railway line from Thurles to Clonmel, which delivered goods daily, serviced this busy village. It made deliveries to the publican Richard O'Keefe and grocer John O'Keefe. Life was tranquil and unhurried and then and it seemed nothing would change.
Then in the early sixties, road widening commenced and most branch lines such as the Horse and Jockey were about to be closed. The famous bridge was reckoned to be soon dangerous because large heavy trucks were now transporting goods and frequently got stuck on the bridge. Horse & Jockey station was part of the 25 mile branch to Clonmel from Thurles, originally built by the "Southern Railway of Ireland".
The company opened the branch on the 1st July 1880, but poor working results led to its transfer to the GS&WR by 1901. The branch saw no major changes until the loss of passenger services in September 1963 and the eventual closure on the 27th March 1967 by CIE. The station is now a private house.
The Horse and Jockey Inn which is now our beloved Horse & and Jockey Hotel has grown from strength to strength.
Tradition, Passion and Warmth is what the family run hotel has thrived on for over 250 years and will continue to do so for the next generations.

Darden has restaurants in hundreds of communities across North America, and we view giving back to those communities as an extension of our core values – and an essential part of being a good neighbor.
The Darden Foundation
Darden's definition of service extends beyond the four walls of our restaurants and into the communities we serve. The Darden Restaurants, Inc. Foundation works to bring to life this spirit of service through its philanthropic support of charitable organizations across the country. The Foundation does this by focusing its philanthropic efforts on programs that enhance the communities where our team members and guests live and work.
Since 1995, the Darden Foundation has awarded more than $90 million in grants to non-profit organizations such as Feeding America, the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) and American Red Cross.
Aiding the Fight Against Hunger
As a restaurant company, we believe we are uniquely positioned to make a meaningful difference by helping in the fight against hunger. Even before the pandemic, food insecurity affected one in nine households in the United States. As a result of COVID-19, unemployment has soared and food insecurity is on the rise. In fact, more than 54 million people may face hunger this year because of the pandemic.
This year, more than ever, reinforced the importance of our 10-year partnership with Feeding America as well as our Harvest program that was established in 2003. This year, the Darden Foundation provided $2 million to support member food banks across all 50 states. For every dollar donated, 10 meals are provided to people in need — meaning our financial support was the equivalent of 20 million meals
These efforts go hand-in-hand with our Harvest program. Each day, in every one of our restaurants, we collect surplus, wholesome food that is not served to guests and we prepare it for donation to local nonprofit partners. In fiscal 2020, our brands donated more than 6.3 million pounds of food, the equivalent of more than five million meals.
Since its inception, more than 120 million pounds of food – totaling more than 100 million meals – have been donated through the Harvest program.
View the video below to learn more about Darden's efforts to help in the fight against hunger.
Training the Next Generation
Our funding helps support the NRAEF ProStart program, a national high school program that introduces students to career opportunities in the restaurant industry and provides them with an industry-driven curriculum on topics ranging from culinary techniques to management skills.
Lending Support During Disaster Recovery
Darden is a member of the American Red Cross' Annual Disaster Giving Program which enables the Red Cross to respond to the needs of individuals and families impacted by disasters anywhere in the United States. Additionally, our restaurants regularly donate meals to feed first responders and victims of natural disasters.

Former Weather Underground terrorist group leader Bill Ayers on Tuesday said he was on an airplane "dancing in the aisles" over news that President Obama commuted the sentence of FALN activist Oscar López Rivera, whose group was linked to over 100 bombs placed in U.S. cities in the 1970s and 1980s, Breitbart reports.
Ironically, Ayers, a former associate of Obama's, was on his way from Havana, where he wrote that he was celebrating the 75th birthday of his wife, fellow Weather Underground member Bernadine Dohrn.
Like the FALN, Ayers' Weather Underground was also linked to bombings in U.S. cities, including those targeting the U.S. Capitol building, the Pentagon, and numerous New York police stations.
We are thrilled to announce that today President Obama made the wise and just decision to grant unconditional executive clemency to Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera, who served 35 years in U.S. prison.
One day earlier, he had tweeted that he was on his way to Havana and would return "in time to rise up in Washington" – seemingly a reference to the protests slated for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday.
Obama commuted the sentence of Rivera, the longest-serving FALN member who was convicted of numerous crimes, including seditious conspiracy, conspiracy to commit robbery and transport explosives with intent to destroy government property, and later a conspiracy to escape from prison.
From 1999 to 2002, Obama served alongside Ayers as a paid director of the Chicago nonprofit the Woods Fund.
Obama also worked closely with Ayers in 1995 at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge education group, according to the CAC's archived records.
News reports, archived records, interviews and Ayers' own curriculum vitae document that Ayers was a founder of the CAC, which billed itself as a school-reform organization. Ayers also served as co-chairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, one of the two operational arms of the CAC, from its formation in 1995 until 2000.
Ayers made presentations to board meetings chaired by Obama. Ayers also spoke for the Chicago School Reform Collaborative before Obama's board, while Obama periodically spoke for the board at meetings of the collaborative, according to CAC documents.
According to the documents, first reviewed by National Review Online writer Stanley Kurtz, the CAC granted money to far-left causes, such as the now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
"Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon," Ayers wrote in his memoirs, Fugitive Days. He added a disclaimer that he didn't personally plant the explosives.

Paella is a one-pot dish made from rice and either seafood and/or meat from Valencia, on the east coast of Spain. It is traditionally flavored with saffron.
It's one of my favorite meals on a winter night. And it's a great way to get some nutritious seafood into your family.
I adapted this recipe from Cook's Illustrated. For this recipe, you don't need the giant paella pan. You can make paella in a Dutch oven (the Dutch oven should be at least a 6-quart capacity).
Dry-cured Spanish chorizo is the sausage of choice for paella, but fresh chorizo or linguiça is an acceptable substitute. If you can't find any of those, use a spicy Italian sausage.
If you buy sprouted rice (or germinate your own rice at home) you do not need to soak the rice. You can find sprouted rice on my resources page.
1. Warm 1 cup of the filtered water in a small saucepan to about body temperature (warm to touch, but not hot).
2. Add the brown rice and the warm water, plus 1 tablespoon of whey, yogurt, kefir or buttermilk to a glass or enamelware bowl or mason jar.
3. Cover and let soak for 8-24 hours in a warm place.
4. Peel and devein the shrimp. (Devein means pull out the black thing on the back of the shrimp — do not skip this step). Remove the peas from the freezer and allow to defrost.
5. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Peel garlic cloves and finely mince. Toss shrimp, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and one teaspoon of minced garlic together in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
7. Season the chicken thighs with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside.
8. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove seeds from the bell pepper and slice into strips. Add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until skin begins to blister and turn spotty black, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer peppers to a small plate and set aside.
browned, about 3 minutes. Turn pieces and brown on other side, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl.
11. Slice the sausage into 1/2 inch pieces, on the bias.
12. Add the sausage to the pot, stirring frequently, until deeply browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.
13. Transfer sausage to the bowl with the chicken.
15. Peel and dice the onion. Add the onion to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes.
16. Stir in the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
17. Drain the can of tomatoes well. Add to the pot and cook until mixture begins to darken and thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
18. Strain the rice and rinse. Stir in the rice and cook until grains are well coated with tomato mixture, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, white wine,saffron, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
19. Return chicken and sausage to the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook until rice absorbs almost all the liquid, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from oven. Uncover, and scatter shrimp over rice.
21. Insert mussels, hinged side down into rice (so they stand upright), arrange bell pepper strips in a pinwheel pattern, and scatter peas over top. Cover and return to oven. Cook until shrimp are opaque and mussels have opened, 10 to 12 minutes.
22. Let paella stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Discard any mussels that have not opened and bay leaf.
23. Roughly chop the parsley and sprinkle over the paella.
I feel like I am missing a step with the rice. You explain how to soak it in steps 1-3, but then in step 18 you just say to stir it and cook it in the tomato mixture. What do you do with the rice after it's soaked, do you drain and rinse or not rinse, do you mean to say that you add the rice to the pot and saute the rice and then add the broth to cook it? Sorry, it sounds good, I just want to understand how to work the rice. Thanks!
Looks incredible. I LOVE paella! Can't wait to try this once I place an order for wild shrimp and mussels.
Okay, so I was totally excited to make this because I found that I had nearly all the ingredients on hand (unusual occurrence for me). However, my pot has been in the oven for over 15 minutes and it does not look as if the rice is absorbing the liquid. The rice I bought was Sprouted brown GABA rice, so I didn't do any of the soaking steps because I interpreted it as that I didn't need to if the rice was already sprouted. I checked the rice package and it gives a cooking time of 25-30 minutes. I imagine this would work with your cook times given that you continue to cook the Paella after you added the seafood.
I'm going to go ahead and toss in the shrimp (no mussels, sadly) and see what happens.
Also, I diced up 14 oz. of fresh tomatoes since I tend to not buy canned foods. Is this acceptable or would that add to much liquid even if I de-seed them?
Thank you for the great recipe. I can only hope mine turns out well.
I made this last night and it was delicious. If you are using unsoaked brown rice it will take 45 minutes in the oven for the rice to absorb the liquid.
What a thought… two Jennifers making the same dish on the same night! Yes, you are correct about the cook time.
After I posted my comment I checked on my paella and found that the rice had swelled and most, if not all, the water was absorbed. I tossed in the shrimp, peas and peppers and left to cook just until the shrimp were done. When I opened the pot I thought surely this can't be something that *I* made because it looked and smelled amazing. And the taste? Well, all I can say is that I wish I could make it every night! It was superb!! And really, the dish was simple to make – it was just the prep that was a little daunting (shelling and de-veining was more work than I initially thought).
Looking forward to leftovers tonight!
