" Stonewall DFL officially joins the protest of the Ordway's performance of Miss Saigon due to its perpetuating negative stereotypes of women and persons of color and its romanticizing of human trafficking.
Our history is in step with the traditions of standing up to persecution and harassment and resisting oppressive forces. Before the events at the Stonewall Inn in 1969, there was the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights movement. Members of our LGBT community fought for their right to love and be loved. They fought to play music and publish novels. They resisted the corrupt police force, fought for housing rights, jobs, education and voting rights. These were LGBT issues then and remain LGBT issue today. These issues contain intersections of various –ism's and social constructed categories. There is no hierarchy to issues of oppression and prejudice.
Stonewall DFL has chosen to join the protest of the Ordway's musical production of Miss Saigon. This production erroneously depicts people of color in stereotypical tropes, promotes human trafficking as love, and blatantly showcases the myth of white moral superiority.
Stonewall DFL stands with our brothers and sisters in the Asian American Community in confronting this assault on our shared humanity."

Q: How to find out the subclass from the base class instance? Is there a way to find out the name of derived class from a base class instance?
e.g.:
class A{
    ....
}
class B extends A{
    ...
}
class c extends A{
    ...
}

now if a method returns an object of A, can I find out if it is of type B or C?

A: Have you tried using instanceof
e.g.
Class A aDerived= something.getSomethingDerivedFromClassA();

if (aDerived instanceof B) {

} else if (aDerived instanceof C) {

}

//Use type-casting where necessary in the if-then statement.

A: Short answer to your question

Is there a way to find out the derived class's name from a base class object?

no, the super-class has no way of telling the name/type of a sub-class.
You have to interrogate the object (which is an instance of a sub-class) and ask if it is an: instanceof a particular sub-class, or call it's getClass() method.

A: using either instanceof or Class#getClass()
A returned = getA();

if (returned instanceof B) { .. }
else if (returned instanceof C) { .. }

getClass() would return either of: A.class, B.class, C.class
Inside the if-clause you'd need to downcast - i.e.
((B) returned).doSomethingSpecificToB();

That said, sometimes it is considered that using instanceof or getClass() is a bad practice. You should use polymorphism to try to avoid the need to check for the concrete subclass, but I can't tell you more with the information given.

A: You can do it in the subclass' constructor
class A {
    protected String classname;
    public A() { this.classname = "A"; }
    public String getClassname() { return this.classname; }
}
class B extends A {
    public B() {
        super();
        this.classname = "B";
    }
}

So
A a = new A();
a.getClassname(); // returns "A"
B b = new B();
b.getClassname(); // returns "B"
((A)b).getClassname(); // Also returns "B"

Because it is casted into an "A" object, it will call the "A" getClassname() function but will return a value set by the constructor that was the "B" constructor.
Note: Call super(); before setting it

A: There are 2 ways I can think of
1) One with Using the Java reflection API
2) Other one would be with the instanceOf
Other method can be a Comparing objects to objects, I dont know how it might be, you can try this

A:
Is there a way to find out the name of derived class from a base class instance?

As answered here, you can use this extremely simple approach.
abstract class A {
    public final String getName() {
         return this.getClass().getName();
    }
}

class B extends A { }

class C extends A { }

then simply print the current class name:
B b = new B();
C c = new C();

System.out.println(b.getName());
System.out.println(c.getName());

Output:
com.test.B
com.test.C

There is no need to store additional Strings, check instanceof or override the method in any subclass.

A: A more modern approach (Java 16+) would be using pattern matching for the instanceof operator. The syntax is pretty simple:
if(x instanceof X xChild){
    // use xChild
}

It is both shorter and less error-prone as it combines all the steps of testing the runtime type of the variable(x in the example above), casting it down, and assigning it to a new variable(`xChild in the example above). Read more.
Another example:
    public void addUIControl(UIControl control) {
        if(control instanceof SelectList sl){
            selectList = sl;
        }
        else if(control instanceof TextBox tb){
            textBox = tb;
        }
        else if(control instanceof Button btn){
            button = btn;
        }
        else {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Uknown UIControl object has been passed to the SendFormMediator");
        }
    }

These interference filters are based on the Fabry-Perot effect. Stacks of highly reflective films provide selective interference to reinforce the transmittance at the wavelength of interest and to cancel at other wavelengths. The typical structure of these filters is two stacks of highly reflective layers, which are separated by a multiple half wave thick spacer. This pattern forms a cavity and typically two or three cavities are superimposed to reduce the half width of the transmission spectrum. Out of band wavelengths are blocked with a colored glass layer.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Gov. Bruce Rauner's lawsuit over forced fees paid by non-union state workers may proceed, but without the governor participating, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman decreed that the Republican, who has tried to limit labor unions' political influence in his short tenure, does not have sufficient interest in the matter to seek a federal opinion that so-called "fair-share" fees are unconstitutional.
And he declared Rauner cannot collect the fair-share fees and keep them in a separate account — away from the unions — until the matter is settled.
But the judge decided that three non-union Illinois workers who were added to the suit later may press the case. Mark Janus of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, Marie Quigley of the Department of Public Health and the Transportation Department's Brian Trygg are better positioned to show "injury" from being forced to pay the fees, but they must prove as legal action moves forward that federal intervention is justified.
Rauner was "greatly encouraged" by the decision, a spokeswoman said.
Fair-share fees are paid by non-union workers to support bargaining, processing of grievances and other activities of the collective bargaining unit, which represents non-members too.
Rauner complained they violate First Amendment free-speech protections: If a worker doesn't want to join a union, he or she shouldn't have to financially support it.
Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO, called the decision a "setback" for Rauner, including his attempt to collect fair-share fees and keep them in an escrow account while the issue wends its way through the legal knot.
"This should be a strong signal to the governor that it's time he treats public service workers with respect," Carrigan said in a statement.
Several unions filed a lawsuit in St. Clair County Circuit Court challenging the executive order Rauner issued in February lifting the fair share requirement.
Rauner, a private-equity investor who has criticized public sector unions since he took office in January, has followed the lead of other Midwestern governors who have confronted organized labor. He has encouraged the establishment of right-to-work zones in which local communities decide whether to allow union representation of its workforce. His stance has drawn strong opposition from majority Democrats and unions in labor-friendly Illinois.
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which is paying the legal fees of the workers in the lawsuit, said it was pleased with the ruling.
"No worker should be forced to subsidize a union just to work for their own government," spokesman Patrick Semmens said.

We all experience stressful transitions in life, but young adults experience a significant number of them in a relatively short period of time. Mentors can play an important role by sharing their life experiences in an insightful way during these stressful moments.
As the two largest living generations, baby boomers and millennials occupy much of our current society.
It can be difficult to get the word out about young adult groups and events, and it can be frustrating when attendance is lower than anticipated.
"So you guys work with youth, right?" is an innocent and common misconception surrounding the Office of Young Adult Ministry.
In Episode 6, For the Forgiveness of Sins, Fr. Scheiderer and Mary Kate Buncher answer the question, "Why do we need Reconciliation?" as they share personal testimonies and their reflections on the Gospel passage that begins Holy Week: Christ's Passion from the Gospel of Matthew.

Episode 5, Steadfast Resolve, features Alli Shambro and Vince Coiro as they share their experiences of perseverance and moving forward in hope in the Resurrection, even when falling short of Lenten promises.


Chiang Mai is the best place to sample northern cuisine. The most distinct style is known as khan toke. A Khan Toke meal consists of several small dishes such as chicken or beef curries, crispy fried pork skin and northern style chili sauces such as the mild red nam prik ong or the firey nam prik on; all served with sticky rice. A Khan Toke dinner is traditionally served on a small round table.
You will find several Khan Toke restaurants around Chiang Mai. Most of them are tourist oriented and put on a show of traditional dancing along with dinner. Our favorite is the Kum Kaew Palace, located near the Vista Hotel, just inside the Changpuek gate. It's located in a small old palace building belonging to a princess of Chiang Mai. However, on our last visit our party were the only guests, so we wouldn't be surprised if the place was closed soon.
Chiang Mai also has its own style of street food, the most well known of which is khao soi. This dish is made with flat egg noodles, something like linguine, served in a hearty soup with either chicken or beef. A thick black chilli paste, lime, shallots and bean sprouts or some other vegetables are served with the dish to allow you to season it to your own taste. While you can find this dish in some Bangkok restaurants, most people agree that there's nothing like the "real thing" found just about anywhere in Chiang Mai. Your best bet if you want to give it a try is the Anusarn night market, about a block from the night bazaar, or a new restaurant dedicated to this dish, 'Just Kao Soy' on Charoen Prathet Road, not far from the Anusarn market. The "original" place to get khao soi is the small alley connecting Charoen Prathet and Chang Klan Roads just before Tapae Road. The street has a small mosque and two or three khao soi stalls. These usually close after lunch, so don't plan on having khao soi for dinner.
Chiang Mai's long popularity as a tourist destination means that there's ample opportunity to sample other cuisines, if you tire of Thai food. In fact, some of the restaurants are better than their Bangkok counterparts.
Japanese - There are two good choices in Chiang Mai for good Japanese food at reasonable (but not cheap) prices: Fuji, in the newly opened Panthip Plaza on Chang Klan Road at Si Don Chai, serves a variety of Japanese foods in a very high design shop. Sakae Sushi, in Kad Suan Kaeo shopping center, serves mainly sushi, as the name implies.

Home Radio Interviews Herman Cain – Corporate Tool
Herman Cain – Corporate Tool
This speaks for itself:
October 06, 2011 " Daily Caller" — Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's blunt style was on full display in a Wall Street Journal interview published Wednesday.
Cain told reporter Alan Murray that he isn't a fan of New York City's "Occupy Wall Street" protesters. "Don't blame Wall Street," Cain said. "[D]on't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself!"
The former Godfather's Pizza CEO, currently tied with Mitt Romney and Rick Perry in polls for the Republican presidential nomination, speculated the the protests were a ploy to distract voters from Democrats' responsibility for the state of the economy.
"I don't have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these protests are planned an orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration," he said.
Pressed on whether major banks had anything to do with the current economic recession, Cain conceded that they did, but described their role as historical. "They did have something to do with the crisis that we went into in 2008, but we're not in 2008, we're in 2011," Cain added.
"It is not a person's fault because they succeeded, it is a person's fault if they failed," he continued. "And so this is why I don't understand these demonstrations and what is it that they're looking for."

At first glance Cain appeared to be a breath of fresh air – pleasant, intelligent, logical, pratical. But once he opened his mouth about the OWS crowd – I realized it was just the same Republican BS (and I consider myself a conserative.)
The U6 unemployment rate is 18%. Add in the people who are underemployed, part-time, low wage. Jobs that have no benefits, no vacation, no sick leave, a wage too low to exist on. It is estimated that there are 50,000,000 currently in this situation.
Record number of forclosures, lowest home starts since WWII, record number of homes on the market, home values have dropped as a percentage more than the Great depression.
Our government / society has created an economic structure of 'wage jobs'. Another words one has to rely on some corporation to provide you with a 'job' (notice how they no longer say 'career').
Well now there ain't no jobs! To tell someone in this economic situation: "Pick yourself up, and get a job" is like telling a drowning man from the Titanic: "Just start swimming – you can make it if you really want to."
The problem is that there is very little opportunity in the corrput system we have allowed to be constructed over many years. It is the ideal system for controlling people because it's amorphous. There is no one thing to attack. The IRS, the police, the TSA, the House, the Senate?, the EPA?, the POTHUS? You look like fool ranting about any one of these. That's why it all has to go – no one thing is the problem.
I'm sooo tired of hearing "In America anything is possible – you control your destiny." Really? The truth is "America is now a lottery – where a minsucel amount win big."
These OWS are unfocused, and have many zany demands, however they know they're being screwed, and they're angry.
They are taking on the amorphous blob!
methylamine October 9, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Well said Doug_B!
Exactly–it's a scientific dictatorship, the perfection of regulatory democracy.
There's no mean little man at the top to hate–well, there is, but he's not directly to blame. It's the teeming swarms of petty little busy-bodies and the thousands of endless regulations, licenses, permits, fees, excises, taxes, forms…god it just makes me want to puke.
If I could change just ONE THING, it would be to abolish fiat money (which means End the Fed).
Why? Because with real money, the bastards can't tax us enough to pay for all their oppressive schemes and the market won't lend them enough without the printing press at their side.
eric October 10, 2011 at 8:27 am
Good to have you with us here, Doug!
On Cain: I smelled Republican years ago, when I heard him as the guest host on Neal Boortz' radio show. Neal postures as a Libertarian but is GOP through and through. Cain may be worse, though, because at least Boortz is anti War On Drugs and clearly isn't interested in Fambly Values. Cain is.
Nicolas Martin October 7, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Could one expect anything else from the candidate leading in polls of Republican voters?
eric October 7, 2011 at 3:39 pm
That's my take, also.
Republicans love warfare (and corporatism; what they disingenuously refer to as the "free market") as much as Democrats love welfare – and neither understands what real liberty entails – and desires it even less.

Q: How can I run parallel flows in node-red and then join the data? I have a node-red flow where I need to do 2 rest calls and then do some data operations based on the results of those two calls.
The only way how I could solve it was to do both calls one after the other

Is there a way in node-red to branch a flow and then join again like

The function node above would be invoked twice. What I need is a node which would have multiple inputs and then wait for each msg.payload to arrive before it starts with the processing.
Thanks

A: It is possible, using the split and join nodes.
Take a look at this example:

[{"id":"8eb8c9c4.605e88","type":"http in","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"","url":"/parallel","method":"get","upload":false,"swaggerDoc":"","x":124.5,"y":632,"wires":[["dff9f95f.6f84f8"]]},{"id":"dff9f95f.6f84f8","type":"change","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"{\"httpbin\":\"http://httpbin.org/get\",\"anything\":\"http://httpbin.org/anything/get\"}","tot":"json"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":356.5,"y":631,"wires":[["4b5a9dfb.439594"]]},{"id":"4b5a9dfb.439594","type":"split","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"","splt":"\n","spltType":"str","arraySplt":1,"arraySpltType":"len","stream":false,"addname":"topic","x":526.5,"y":631,"wires":[["8238bd1f.80e7f"]]},{"id":"8238bd1f.80e7f","type":"switch","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"","property":"topic","propertyType":"msg","rules":[{"t":"eq","v":"httpbin","vt":"str"},{"t":"eq","v":"anything","vt":"str"}],"checkall":"true","outputs":2,"x":655.5,"y":631,"wires":[["ada1d5f5.b43148"],["7400821e.6dd82c"]]},{"id":"ada1d5f5.b43148","type":"http request","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"REST Service 1","method":"GET","ret":"obj","url":"{{{payload}}}","tls":"","x":833.5,"y":590,"wires":[["99c15809.ccd4c8"]]},{"id":"7400821e.6dd82c","type":"http request","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"REST Service 2","method":"GET","ret":"obj","url":"http://httpbin.org/anything/get","tls":"","x":834,"y":672,"wires":[["99c15809.ccd4c8"]]},{"id":"99c15809.ccd4c8","type":"join","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"","mode":"auto","build":"string","property":"payload","propertyType":"msg","key":"topic","joiner":"\n","joinerType":"str","accumulate":"false","timeout":"","count":"","x":1015.5,"y":626,"wires":[["6a617e7c.5a6de"]]},{"id":"6a617e7c.5a6de","type":"http response","z":"abe521f2.f083a","name":"","statusCode":"","headers":{},"x":1162,"y":626,"wires":[]}]

A: Don't know if this is still an issue for you but take a look at this node.

Q: F5 SSL offloading custom 404 page We have an F5 that we want to use for SSL termination in front of our JBoss servers with NetIQ auth, and we have the configuration working for all normal traffic.
The problem is with our custom 404 page. The static site on which the page is hosted has an http and and https component. When serving up the custom 404 page, the F5 first pushes the traffic to authenticate. Thus, the custom 404 page never shows for unauthenticated traffic, and requires authentication before it will show the auth'd traffic.
What configuration piece of the F5 pie are we missing?

A: sorry for the delay on this.  I browsed DevCentral for a possible solution and think this article could have a solution for you.
irules for 404 redirect
Effectively, an irule would exist on your virtual IP and redirect any 404 behavior to a new custom page (or new server if you want).
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set host [HTTP::host]
  set path [HTTP::path]
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  if { [HTTP::status] eq "404" } { HTTP::redirect "https://${host}/my404page?url=${path}" }
}

This may get you started at least if you haven't already solved this issue.

Q: Integrating Facebook into android - login permissions I am in the process of integrating Facebook login into the android app I am developing.
I would like the app to be authorised to post/publish to feed/timeline.  At present the user is receiving two login permissions screens (One for the initial login and a second one is appearing for the post permission).  This isn't an ideal user experience.
How do I incorporate the permission to post into the permission screen that appears when the app asks the user to login to Facebook.
Having done some research it appears other apps can gain the authentication at the point of login and not require a re-login permission screen to appear with the post permission included.
I'm clearly missing something.
Please help!
Thanks.

A: Possible copy of: Facebook SSO for Android can I ask for login and permission all in one time
Bottom line is: "With the new SDK, you are required to ask for write permissions (such as "publish_actions") separately from read permissions".

A: As you said it isn't an ideal user experience, I used a similar way to implement the login a user using sdk facebook, I follow this tutorial and it should show to the user only one login, and then a screen showing the post permission, without having to make log in again.

Consider this alternative - a blend of silken tofu, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and minced dried fruit. This spread provides dietary fiber, protein, several vitamins and minerals, contains only healthy fat, and has no cholesterol. If you really, really love your cream cheese use it but less, or consider trying a lower fat version such as Neufchatel cheese. Your heart will thank you!

So, now that his personal lawyer as well as a campaign administrator have been charged and tried there is no way that the "other side" or media can say he plays favorites.
So, what did Manafort say about his ties to the Podesta Brothers? His charges stem from his time working with them. He had to give key information and as we know one Podesta brothers is being investigated heavily and the other has been pretty quiet. He was aware and had intimate knowledge of HRC's Russian Uranium dealings as well as other items that could come back to bite certain people.
NBC previously reported that Mueller had been looking into Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm as part of its broader investigation into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
By allowing the Manafort investigation to move forward it gives those who want the truth the time and excuse of saying they are doing one thing but opening the door in another.
Just me 2 cents....

Grambler, damn man. This is not about Hillary or about Obama, or anyone else you want to apply whataboutism to. This is about Donald Trump authorizing payments, on tape, for his lawyer to pay off adultery in order to influence public opinion prior to an election.
Isn't that a campaign expense? Looks like it to me.
Hush money, black mail, whatever you want to call it... This event happened during the campaign. She approached the lawyer to blackmail a President elect. She said she'd go public, if not given "hush" money.
If he wasn't running for President, she wouldn't have blackmailed him. Therefore, it is a campaign expense. It is an expense that occured BECAUSE of the campaign.
Now, had Trump slept with hookers during the campaign and used campaign funds to pay them for their services, that would be illegal since he received a personal service that was NOT connected to the campaign.
So, what law was broken?

Isn't that a campaign expense?
Yes, it would seem to be so. But because Cohen made the payment it would be considered a campaign contribution by him. Far too large a campaign contribution by an individual. Major violation.
But, you say, Trump reimbursed Cohen. Well, maybe. But so far no one has produced a receipt to that effect that I know of. And, if it were to be considered a campaign contribution from Trump it would have had to have been reported as such. As far as I know, it wasn't.
So, you say, it was a reporting oversight on the part of the campaign. Plausible, that happens, except that it appears that Trump and Cohen conspired to keep the payment (contribution) a secret. Until it wasn't.

a reply to: Rewey
I would argue that laws pertaining to blackmailing people have been broken,
Is an NDA blackmail, or a legal document? Did Stormy demand money, or did Cohen/Trump offer it?
After learning of Ms. Clifford's efforts to publicly disclose her affair with Mr. Trump, Ms. Clifford states that "Mr. Trump, with the assistance of his attorney, Mr. Cohen aggressively sought to silence Ms. Clifford as part of an effort to avoid her telling the truth, thus helping to ensure he won the Presidential Election."[15] Mr. Cohen subsequently drafted the Nondisclosure Agreement, pursuant to which Ms. Clifford would receive $130,000 for her silence.[16] The Nondisclosure Agreement used aliases to refer to Ms. Clifford and Mr. Trump. Ms. Clifford was referred to as "Peggy Paterson" or "PP" and Mr. Trump was referred to as "David Dennison" or "DD".[17]
The NDA can be found here:

Well, given that Trump's Campaign was largely self-funded, who's to say it wasn't his own self-funded portion that paid the lawyer back?

Don't know, and not really fussed. It was just a comment to Sourgrapes who used the term blackmail liberally in his post.
Dfairlite
Except according to Alan dershowitz as well as the former FEC chair, it's not a campaign contribution. That really should be enough to put this issue to bed for 99% of people.

Production begins on Mary Poppins, Jr. with new Drama Director at Windham Middle School
Suzy Cropper
By Elizabeth Richards
Suzy Cropper is no stranger to the drama scene in Windham. In addition to owning and operating a performance studio, Cropper was the musical director for Windham Middle School's annual musical for the past eight years. Now, she has stepped into the position of Drama Director for Windham Middle School.
Cropper has been teaching both theater and voice for close to 25 years. Her studio, MainStage
Academy, was based in Windham for several years before she closed it. For three years, she was the chorus teacher at the Manchester School. "I've done a lot of directing kids for a long time. I'm excited to be able to work with these kids in this capacity," Cropper said.
Working alongside the director for eight years means that the structure and kids are familiar to Cropper, and she has a good understanding of what is involved for the director. In addition to guiding students towards a great performance, Cropper said, she is helping them develop other important skills that they can carry with them throughout their lives.
"There are a lot of students that really find out more about themselves when they are given an opportunity to perform or stretch themselves a little bit," Cropper said. She added that it's exciting to see students discover that they can be good at many things, rather than only focusing on things they have done before, such as athletics.
Cropper enjoys middle school students, she said, because they are teachable, excited about learning new things, and willing to try things they haven't done before. "They're just at a time of great exploration, so it's nice to give them lots of opportunities while they're still trying to figure out what they love," she said.
Every student who wants to participate will have a role of some kind, whether a small role in the ensemble, or a major role with a lot of lines to learn. Students who have never done theater before
often participate, as do students who have been performing for much of their lives, she said. "It's a good variety of different skills, levels and experience."
Cropper, who has five children of her own, said she enjoys helping students discover talents they didn't realize they had, and watching them develop new skills. "It's been a joy to me to be able to see how their theater experience has helped them in their everyday school life, their confidence in the classroom, and learning how to be responsible about their own schedules and everything they have to do to be prepared for the production," she said.
Some of the skills students gain include responsibility and accountability, learning to pay attention, how to be respectful of their peers, and learning to project their voices so they can be heard.
"It really does make a big difference in all aspects of their life," Cropper said, because these skills tend to roll over into other areas of their lives, such as class presentations, communication with adults, and other life skills. "There are a lot of things more than just the actual story," Cropper said.
That doesn't mean the story suffers, however. "Of course, we love to put on a great production," Cropper said. "They get very excited about it and are very proud of their work. It's exciting to work with them and see them be really proud of what they do."
Putting on a production of this size takes a whole team of volunteers, mostly parents of students in the production. In addition to six to ten hours of rehearsal time each week, the team puts the set together, learns lighting and sound cues, creates costumes, and attends to all the details necessary to
pull the show together. Although the director position comes with a stipend, "Most of the people who participate and help with the program are volunteers, so it's really a tremendous undertaking and very exciting for our community," Cropper said.
"Our community has really learned to look forward to these productions," she added. "I'm excited to keep it moving."
This year's Windham Middle School musical is Mary Poppins, Jr. Auditions took place on October 16th and 17th, and the show is scheduled to open on January 16th.

Great richness but great line and balance. We imagine drinking this wine with hard local cheeses, the cheese is optional. We hope you enjoy this wine as much as we did making it.
Calvary Hill produces real depth - diving-bell like depth.
And there is that classic Barossa dark, salted chocolate aroma and flavour. Cinnamon, nutmeg, liqueured chocolate, but all bound by cloak of savouriness.
The fruit heft is perfectly balanced by keen acidity, providing overarching structure. Indeed, this is an organised wine, with architectural qualities.
A corridor, velvet lined, with a hidden secret door. And all as if unadorned by oak. Barossa purity.

Regarded as one of the most well-known and prestigious regattas, the Henley Royal Regatta (HRR) will be held June 29 through July 3 on the River Thames in Henley-on-Thames, England. This year, the 2016 HRR has received a record number of entries, at 629 crew, eclipsing the previous record of 552 set in 1998.
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Regarded as one of the most well-known and prestigious regattas, the 2016 Henley Royal Regatta (HRR) will be held June 29 through July 3 on the River Thames in Henley-on-Thames, England. This year, the 2016 HRR has received a record number of entries, at 629 crews, eclipsing the previous record of 552 set in 1998.
International entries have also surpassed previous years with 165 crews from 27 nations entered for this year's regatta. Out of those, 52 crews will be representing the United States from 31 different rowing clubs and universities.
The Henley Royal Regatta has been a showcase of the English social season since its inaugural year in 1839. The regatta has been in production for so long, it has its own rules and regulations, and is not subject to other rowing governing bodies such as British Rowing or the International Rowing Federation (FISA).
With 20 total events, nearly 90 races will be held on the first and second days of racing, with races beginning every five minutes.
The duel-style races on the famous one-mile, 550-yard-long course (which translates to 2,112 meters) will be seen by hundreds of thousands of spectators who line the river bank. For those who cannot view the races in person, they will be live-streamed around the world on the event's official Youtube channel.
While American crews only represent a small portion of the competition at Henley, the U.S.A routinely performs well. Among the crews competing will be 11 American universities.
Fresh off of a men's team victory at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships, the University of California is entered in the Visitors', Temple, Ladies' and Diamond Cup. In 2015, the Golden Bears claimed one of the coveted trophies from the varsity men's four category with a first place finish in the Visitors' Challenge Plate.
University of Michigan men's A and B eight will be competing after victories at the American Collegiate Rowing Association Championship, and have been taking training very seriously in order to have a strong showing in the Temple Cup.
In the Grand Challenge Cup, the New York Athletic Club will be facing the Rio-bound Dutch crew as well as Team Italy in a fight for coveted cup.
A USRowing Training Center - Princeton eight will compete in the Remenham Challenge against seven other crews. The line-up of women include Kendall Schmidt, Heidi Robbins, Vicky Opitz, Olivia Coffey, Emily Huelskamp, Coco Schoeller, Erin Boxberger, Molly Bruggeman and Kristine O'Brien.

From pistons to push rods, engines dominate the automotive conversation. How well do you know your car engine? Get "inline" to test your car smarts with this challenging quiz!
A car engine is what type of combustion engine?
Diesel and gas turbine engines are both types of internal combustion engines.
Nikolaus Otto invented the four-stroke combustion cycle in what year?
The four-stroke combustion cycle is also known as the Otto cycle invented over 140 years ago.
The stroke that lets in air and gasoline is the _____ stroke.
The piston moving down allows air and gasoline for combustion.
The stroke that makes the explosion more powerful is the ______ stroke.
The piston moving back up compresses the gasoline and air.
During the combustion stroke the ____________ ignites the gasoline.
The explosion the spark plug ignites causes the piston to move down.
The _________ connects the piston to the crankshaft.
Piston Yoke
Crankshaft Pin
Crank Harness
The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft.
During the exhaust stroke the exhaust leaves the engine and goes out the __________ .
Thermal Exhaust Port
The exhaust valve opens at the bottom of the piston's stroke allowing the exhaust to exit.
The ___________ is the part of the engine that changes the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion.
Rotational motion is the type needed to rotate the wheels of the car.
The piston moves up and down inside of the _________ .
Piston Sheath
Most cars have either four, six, or eight cylinders in their engines.
The three most common arrangement of cylinders in an engine are inline, V, and _______ .
Inline, V, & flat cylinder arrangements each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The _______ arrangement of cylinders has all of the cylinders in a line in a single bank.
The simple inline arrangement makes these engines easier to manufacture than V and flat types.
The spark plug _________ the air and fuel.
Timing the spark plug ignition is critical for the engine to work correctly.
What moves up and down inside the cylinder?
The piston tightly fits inside the cylinder to seal air and gas and control the combustion process.
Engines using overhead cams have their camshaft located _______ the valves.
The overhead cam design with the camshaft above the valves is the most common type found in modern engines.
A timing belt or timing chain links the ______ and the ________ so valves and pistons stay in sync.
Crankshaft, camshaft
Camshaft, overhead cams
Timing pin, valve lifter
Rods, pistons
Synchronizing the crankshaft and camshaft is important for the valves and pistons to perform their best.
A camshaft turns at ______ the rate of the crankshaft.
One-tenth
Seven-eighths
Gearing allows the camshaft to turn once for every two turns of the crankshaft.
The spark plug needs a _________________ from the ignition system to work.
High-voltage electrical charge
Fuel/air mixture
Boost injection
Quantum phase pulse
Creating the spark to ignite the air/fuel mixture requires a precisely timed high-voltage electrical charge.
Air-cooled engines are typically lighter but run _______ than liquid-cooled engines.
Air-cooled engines run hotter which typically reduces engine life and performance.
Most cars use an air circulation technique known as ______________ .
Normal aspiration
Super compression
Alternating intake vacuum
Normal aspiration means air only needs to pass through a filter before it enters the cylinders.
Turbocharged and supercharged engines first do what to the air before mixing it with fuel?
Molecularly separated
Pressurizing the air helps increase the performance of the engine.
The pressurization amount used in turbocharging and supercharging engines is called:
Higher pressure means a bigger boost.
What spins the engine a few revolutions so the combustion process can start?
Launching mechanism
Boosting engine
Primary launch device
To start your engine it takes a powerful motor to get things going!
The fuel system of an engine takes gas from a gas tank and mixes it with what?
Mixing the proper amount of gas and air makes sure your engine is working efficiently.
The device that mixes gas into air as the air flows into the engine is called the ________ .
Fuel blend cyclotron
Cylinder centrifuge
If the carburetor doesn't mix air and gas in the right amount it could be wasting gas or cause the engine to produce less power.
The exhaust pipe and the muffler are part of what system?
Launch system
The exhaust system clears the way for the next round of combustion inside the engine.
The liquid used in the engine's lubrication system is _______ .
Oil helps lubricate the engine parts like pistons and bearings to help those parts move more easily and reduce wear.
The purpose of a catalytic converter is to:
Accelerate the car
Turn linear motion into rotational motion
Burn unused fuel and other chemicals in exhaust
Change between being gas powered and battery powered
An emission control system helps clean harmful chemicals from the exhaust by running the exhaust through the catalytic converter before it exits the tail pipe.
The battery in most cars used to start the motor which in turn starts the engine is typically what kind?
1.21 gigawatts
Electrocephalus
The powerful 12-volt battery runs the starter motor and then is recharged by the alternator once the engine is running.
Using bigger cylinders or more cylinders increases displacement which results in:
Less wasted fuel
Smaller engine size
More efficient catalytic converters
More displacement means you can burn more gas which means more power.
Cooling the air entering the cylinders in some supercharged and turbocharged engines is done by the:
Hyper Dewarmer
Thermodampening exchange filter
The cooler air from an intercooler will expand more than warmer air during combustion.
How does a dual exhaust system help an engine run more efficiently?
Improve the flow of exhaust from the engine
Provide more air to the cylinders
Increase the sound of the engine
Remove pollutants from the exhaust
Dual exhaust systems help reduce air resistance of exhaust leaving the engine's cylinders, this helps avoid back-pressure.
What part is not used in a diesel engine which is used in a gasoline engine?
Diesel engines use the heat and pressure from compression to ignite the fuel in the cylinder.
Internal combustion engines need pure, high-quality liquid or gaseous ________ .
Unlike external combustion engines, internal combustion engines can only use specific types of fuel.
Which fuel source, in general, is more efficient at generating torque.
They're equally efficient
The higher energy potential in diesel fuel makes diesel engines more efficient at generating torque.
Engine knock is the engine problem best described by:
Fuel being improperly ignited
The top of the engine banging on the hood
Fuel leaking out of the engine and exploding
The engine brackets coming lose and letting the engine move back and forth.
Engine knock is the result of improperly ignited fuel interfering with the engine cycles.
What does octane rating mean?
The horsepower per gallon

Epitrix (flea beetle) species, life cycles and detection methods (Epitrix II)
Kenyon, David; Highet, Fiona MBE; Caims, Rebecca; Nicolaisen, Mogens; Mouttet, Raphaëlle; Loomans, Antoon; Boavida, Conceiçao; de Andrade, Eugenia; Douglas, Hume; Deczynski, Anthony
Epitrix Foudras 1860, is a genus of flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticinae) with nearly 180 species worldwide. Most species occur in South and Central America (neotropics), and only 12 and 10 species are known from North America and Europe, respectively. A few species of Epitrix are reported to feed on potato plants, the adults feeding on the leaves and the larvae on the roots and tubers. In the European Union (EU) emergency measures have been introduced to prevent the introduction of the EPPO A1 listed species Epitrix tuberis and E. subcrinita and the spread of the EPPO A2 species E. cucumeris and E. papa, accidentally introduced in Portugal and Spain. The three former species are native from North America and are known to cause damage to tubers, with E. tuberis being the most damaging one. E. papa is a newly described species with unknown geographic origin and known distribution limited to some regions of Portugal and Spain and causes damage to tubers. Other neotropical Epitrix species could also be of concern for European phytosanitary authorities, such as E. yanazara, which are known to feed on potato. Further research into the taxonomy and pest status of other potential Epitrix species of concern within the neotropics is required to understand these lesser-known species better and the impacts they may pose to other regions.
This project utilises the expertise of a network of scientists developed during Euphresco Epitrix I project to increase knowledge, understanding and preparedness for potential new outbreaks of Epitrix spp. affecting potato crops.
Epitrix species are uniform in their external morphology and difficult to distinguish in the field or in the laboratory even by specialists. Taxonomic experts from affected areas in Europe and North America prepared samples of accurately identified Epitrix beetles to help validate molecular detection methods for the benefit of the plant inspection services, particularly for regions where this expertise does not exist. Validated methods are now ready for interlaboratory comparative tests, which will be carried out in autumn 2021.
Many new potential pest Epitrix spp. were collected on solanaceous plants during a field expedition to Peru in 2020. This material will be used to help to bridge the knowledge gap of lesser-known Epitrix species within the neotropics.
Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were investigated in EPITRIX I in the laboratory and in field experiments as potential attractants for detecting and monitoring Epitrix. Further research into the attractiveness of the VOC substances were studied, and although the results were encouraging, the attractiveness of the substances tested in the field was insufficient for reliable insect detection and monitoring. An additional study for testing new attractants (plant and insect volatiles) was therefore proposed but unfortunately not funded.
Available licensed insecticides and cultural management practices were reviewed to ensure that chemical control measures are still feasible, as several widely used pesticides have recently been removed from the market or are under review in the EU and the United Kingdom. The study showed that cultural practices (such as crop rotation, dates of planting, plantation of a trap crop, destruction of crop residues, and control of solanaceous weeds) may be used for efficiently disrupting the insect's biology and target control.

We at New York Pizza Pleasanton do not believe in lowering our quality in order to compete with the chain restaurants. We are simply not a corporate business; we are the old-fashioned bread shop on the block.
New York style pizza gets its distinguishing crust from the flour and sauce it's made with. New York style pizza is traditionally hand-tossed, consisting in its basic form of a light layer of tomato sauce and genuine mozzarella cheese; additional toppings are placed atop the cheese. Pies for pizza by the slice are made large, typically around 26 inches in diameter, and commonly cut into 8 slices. These large wide slices are often eaten as a fast food or "street snack" while folded in half, as their flexibility sometimes makes them unwieldy to eat flat.
About Our Pizza By The Slice:
The first New York pizzeria in America was founded by Gennaro Lombardi in Little Italy, Manhattan in 1905 by an immigrant from Naples. He opened a grocery store in 1897 in which eight years later was licensed to sell pizza by the state of New York State. They began making pizza, which sold for five cents a pie. Many people however, could not afford a whole pie and instead would offer what they could in return for a corresponding sized slice of pizza.
Similar we at New York Pizza opened in 1991 in Pleasanton. We came to Downtown Pleasanton Main street, rented an old historic building, originally an ice cream shop. We added Pizza to the ice cream shop and started selling quality pizza to the students of Amador Valley High School. Our Philosophy was to sell great healthy pizza slices to high school kids for 99 cents. The school students lined up on their lunch hour to get their affordable tasty slice of pizza. Then they brought in their parents to try our awesomely made pizzas, there after the small ice cream shop turned into their favorite pizza shop now First Bite New York Pizza Pleasanton located at 690 Main Street Downtown Pleasanton CA 94566. Every one loved our food and ice cream. We became the most popular pizza in Pleasanton as well as attracting people from the surrounding cities. Today New York Pizza has customers from all over the Tri Valley area (Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, Livermore) and those who live far out in other States will come visit us time to time. Today our slice of pizza start from $3.75 instead of 99 cents, which is due to keeping up with the economical proportionate system, which changed numbers for all of us in the past 2.5 decades. Our rent was only $800 per month in 1992as when we started, but the proportionate economy has pushed us to pay over $9000 per month rent in 2014.
Good Citizens Of America:
In 2010, the owners of New York Pizza served their country by joining the United States Army in Afghanistan. Their mission lasted 4 years while their pizza shop still operated in Pleasanton. Today the pictures of the war hang in their pizza shop, including the achievement certificates from the Government of America and the Army. Memories of war have become the decoration on the walls of New York Pizza Pleasanton where everyone is welcome to glance through the journey. Today the citizens of Pleasanton have greatly appreciated the accomplishments they have achieved from the Government of the United States of America.

27 Saying "Thank you"
Living in a culture of gratitude
I work at a hospital. In the course of a day, I have lots of conversations with lots of people. Patients, families, coworkers. Your days may be the same.
Many of the conversations with coworkers are simple. "Do you know where coworker X is?" "How's the afternoon going?" "Where are you going next?"
Some of the conversations with coworkers are a little more complex, a little more serious. "Did you call the coroner already?" "What did the test results show?" "What are the options?"
Regardless of the content, almost every conversation between coworkers ends with "thank you."
When I was first coming into the organization, I felt a sense of politeness and respect, though I wouldn't have been able to explain why. Then I started to notice the "thank you." And then one day somewhere, I read something about a policy that had been created several years ago, a policy that talked about the importance of showing each other respect by saying "thank you."
(It's possible that it wasn't a policy, that it was a suggestion. Given the pervasiveness of the practice, it must have been a pretty powerful suggestion.)
If I had been in the organization at the time, I probably would have laughed. A policy to say "thank you"? A mandate for polite speech? A requirement that no matter how ridiculous the conversation, we must be gracious?
But I wasn't around back then. I'm here now. I quickly fell into the practice in our culture that we express thanks. I discovered that the simple behavior often was matched by genuine gratitude. I am thankful for the information, for the affirmation, for the clarification. When a coworker cleans up a mess, offers a clear answer to a patient, offers compassion to a grieving family member, I am grateful for the action. And for the means to express that gratitude.
And I have to wonder. What if a culture of routine thankfulness is what Paul had in mind when he wrote, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."[1]
What if we simply spent a month ending conversations with "Thank you"?
