What were some of your favorite foods of 2016?
Oh yum, what a great food year you've had. So many great dishes. Love those mushroom tacos and that's a nice looking cocktail!
Sounds like an amazing food tour yummy! I honestly could never try escargot but the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast looks sooo good.
Nadine, I thought I'd never try it either as I love snails, but it was surprisingly yummy, and the texture was not what I expected. Very smooth.
I would devour every one of these! Would especially love to try the mushroom tacos and the beach burger. Then wash it down with that pretty Rosemary Fitzgerald!
Amy, That sounds like heaven. Great selection!
What a great selection! I love food and mu best was last night…lobster tails in lemon butter sauce!
Carol, I do like a good lobster. Sounds yummy!
Danik, I did eat some great food in 2016. And, so far 2017 has shown me some great foods already! Happy New Year to you too!
My favorite kind of round up!! I need to start taking photos of the food we come across while we're traveling overseas, I don't do it nearly as much as I would like to – always so much fun looking back, and you can almost taste it all over again from the memory jog! Grilled Shrimp Salad at Sully's Bistro & Bar looks to die for!!
Megan, That salad re-kick-started my love of shrimp. I just had some great almond shrimp the other day in La Conner, Wa. It might make my 2017 round-up.
The photo of that delicious-looking cinnamon pull apart has my mouth watering. All the breakfast foods seem pretty dreamy actually. Let's grab breakfast the next time we are at a conference or press trip together!
Erin, Yes, for sure. 😉 Are you heading to TBEX Ireland by chance?
Yum!! I really dig all those cinnamon bread dishes you had! I sense a favorite?
Brianna, You've caught me. I'm a cinnamon junkie. I love it on toast, on apples, and I even sprinkle it on my apple pie. Such a great spice!
Jem, Let me know how they turn out!
Your photos made me hungry! 🙂 My vote goes to Cinnamon Swirl French Toast and English Toffee . And of course, being a gin lover, for me Rosemary Fitzgerald is out of every competition!
Milijana, If you love gin you'll really be impressed by Loon Liquors Metropologin. Very smooth and flavorful.
So many delicious foods! I hope your 2017 is full of good foods!
Love those cinnamony things!!! Great selection.
Carol, Isn't cinnamon such a great spice! How could we live without it?
Love your foodie posts and recommendations. Thanks for sharing and happy new year!
Carmen, Thank you so much. I hope 2017 rocks!
All these dishes look so yum…..esp the Classic Char-Broiled Beach Burger. I never usually take pics of what I eat, that thought never passes my mind. Will start doing that and share in my blog as well.
Gokul, That burger was the best I've had all year. Yes, start taking pics! I look forward to seeing them.
Oh your 2016 foods look awesome but the English toffee and the cheese curds got my vote! Yum! That French toast stack…holy smokes!

Q: SQL count of different values in one column by date I have a table that looks like:
os         date
--         ---
ios        2014-04-35 21:33:33
android    2014-04-35 21:33:33
ios        2014-04-35 21:33:33
ios        2014-04-35 21:33:33

I want to get an output to be the counts of ios/android in each month. So like:
Year    Month    ios     android
2015    01       20      100
2015    02       400     20

Something like that.
This is what I have right now. It's not quite right though:
SELECT year(last_modified_date) as cy
     , month(last_modified_date) as cm
     , (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM device_info WHERE os='ios')
     , (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM device_info WHERE os='android')
FROM device_info
WHERE year(last_modified_date) IN (2014,2015)
GROUP BY year(last_modified_date)
       , month(last_modified_date);

A: Tru this:
SELECT YEAR(di.date) AS 'Year',
       MONTH(di.date) AS 'Month',
       SUM(di.os = 'ios') AS 'ios',
       SUM(di.os = 'android') AS 'android'
FROM device_info AS di
GROUP BY YEAR(di.date), MONTH(di.date);

A: You can use conditional aggregation with case expression:
select year(`last_modified_date`) as `Year`
     , month(`last_modified_date`) as `Month`
     , sum(`os` = 'ios') as `ios`
     , sum(`os` = 'android') as `android`
from `device_info`
where year(`last_modified_date`) in (2014, 2015)
group by year(`last_modified_date`)
       , month(`last_modified_date`);

You are not alone – in case you're affected by grownup acne. Wash away grime, oil and make-up with this cleanser formulated to forestall blemishes and breakouts with out inflicting additional dryness or irritation. It felt very refreshing and cooling to the skin, nevertheless it was terrible at eradicating my make-up (especially across the eyes) so i had to use another facial wash afterwards.
Pimples is the most typical skin condition within the United States. Though the outlook seems dreary ( acne and wrinkles appears like some type of sick joke, proper?), knowing what's inflicting your complexion woes may also help you clear up your pores and skin and hold breakouts at bay.
Then, try these reader-examined pimples merchandise that reviewers say flip acne right into a distant memory – identical to that cheesy haircut (and equally cheesy boyfriend) that you just had in high school. Two widespread merchandise to consider: Sunday Riley U.F.. Extremely-Clarifying Face Oil (Buy now: $eighty, ) and Dessert Essence Facial Blemish Stick-Anti-Bacterial with Tea Tree (Buy now: $9, ).
These hormones stimulate the oil glands and hair follicles within the skin, which might lead to zits. I have been using it for over two years now and my skin have executed a whole 180. For spots that just wont quit, try making use of Neutrogena's full-face treatment to eliminate the pimples you currently have and stop the ones you may't see yet from reaching the skin's floor.
"You need to include brokers that can unclog the pores – a retinoid – and products which can be anti bacterial and anti-inflammatory like benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid. "We've seen it work in opposition to a wide range of organisms, including 27 of the 32 strains of zits-inflicting micro organism," says Murray.

You've read a lot of my blog post here in BenAlagnam.com and some of you thanked me for it and others will just say, NICE! great post Man!
But how do I get from doing this blog? Do I get anything from it?
Some people enjoys a lot posting messages or selfies in Facebook, because it's their thing. They love sharing staff with friends and even to public.
For me, It's O.K. to do that since they are happy after all.
Yes, I still share posts in my Facebook accounts but not for selfies or random messages. I really like and enjoy sharing information online and even offline. For me, these are the fun things to do.
When I discovered blogging, it was one afternoon while surfing at the net, I was really interested right away when I saw a personal website of a friend. He blogs about anything, from food to road trips with his wife and kids.
Back then, although I knew a bit of computers and softwares but I don't know how to set up blogs and I don't even know how to make a single post.
Until I created my first ever blog (http://greenthumbwit.blogspot.com), I kept this blog to remind me that it's my first post right there!
The reason for me at that time was to practice my writing skills because I was getting ready for my FSW Canadian application and it requires an English test.
The way I wrote during that time was like writing a book. I'm not sure if it's still the impression of my readers at this moment. But things have improved quite a bit and I made more than 5 blog websites as of this year 2014.
On my second blog, where I got a lot of excitement, is that I started to add a Google Adsense account. This will earn me money while blogging. The only difficult thing to do here was the first approval from Google and the rest was easy. Everything can be linked to one account.
At the first 3 months of my blog. I earned my first $0.05 dollars and I was jumping with joy. My wife was surprised to see me doing that.
Yes, I know, it's a tini-mini small amount, but where can I find a dollar out of doing something that I love? I cannot see it under my couch or anywhere in the corner of my house.
This when I started to do more post and fueled me up. For about a year, I blogged 3 times a week, it accumulated to 200+ post per year. But, you see, I did not complain about doing it, because I love it!
Then I started BenAlagnam.com to record all my activities in Singapore. This is some sort of a diary but with a touch of sharing information to my readers about the country.
I really love blogging in Singapore because of the fast internet speed that can reach 40Mbps download and upload speed. WOW! The experience is just superb, it's like surfing at your own hard drives and linking videos while reviewing it has no pain at all.
In this blog where it started me to interact with my readers and advice them on something they want to know. It's a fun process for me, because I love it!
The good thing about this blogging is that you'll be surprised that Google will email you that they have sent a payment cheque for you.
When I first received my cheque, I was very excited and was steamed to do more blogging and sharing. It motivates me more to do and create more blogs.
I am paying a yearly life insurance in Philippines and it is also earning with dividends. The cheque which Google gave me helps me pay my Insurance. This is awesome, right!
I know what it feels like being a Foreign Worker in Singapore. The heartache of thinking about our families back in Philippines is indescribable. Thinking of them every minute will totally break my heart.
That is why I recommend you to take a step for blogging and who knows it might give you more freedom on your financials someday. I see great opportunities on this kind of activity.
Take advantage of the internet speed in Singapore and the power of your tablets and gadgets. Venture the world of blogging and come and join me.
Why waste on selfies and sharing posts that you don't earn. Share things that you love sharing and monetize your blog. It takes time but hey, I did it for over 5 years now and it seemed to be like only yesterday.
Now, I will continue to blog as long as my fingers can type and my eyes can see. It's because I'm earning while blogging and doing things that I love.
You can reach me at benalagnam@yahoo.com if you're interested in blogging and earning so I can update my post here on how to setup and maintain your blog forever.

The summer days were cooling into fall, which meant that one of Niami Denmother's favorite holidays was just around the corner. Still, she couldn't muster her usual excitement for the Nights of the Dead celebrations.
"Jus' another sign o' th' passing o' th' years, I suppose," she muttered to one of her carnivorous plants, Audrey. "Still, it will be nice tae see what th' trick or treaters do this year, eh?"
Audrey appeared underwhelmed by the thought, giving a disdainful fluff of her variegated leaves. After all, it had been years since Mum had even allowed the plant to chase a misbehaving trick or treater, much less anything more appetizing (such as unwelcome salesmen)! She was far more interested in the fascinating meaty smells coming from the crate that had just been delivered to the island's dock.
Mum continued on, chattering as she tried to get herself into a mood better suited for decorating for the upcoming event. "Now that I've moved tae this Vale island, I hae a bit more room tae decorate in style. Mayhaps some webbing in some o' th' trees. Mayhaps e'en add some o' those trees wi' eyes that I found frae Qho up in the Fearcreep. An' bats. Hmmm, I need tae find a good source o' bats."
The pint-sized halfling scratched her head, running her fingers through her greying red hair. "I cannae do much wi' live bats, as they'll go where they wish, but mayhaps the mages may know of a way tae fire off an illusion or the like?"
"Anyway, Audrey, I'll actually hae a job frae ye an' Seymour that night." Many might have scoffed at her for talking to a carnivorous plant, no matter how mobile that plant might be. However, the plant certainly reacted to its name, and a darker plant came trundling out of the burrow-house that was now Niami's home. "Och, there ye be, Seymour! Aye, a job frae ye twa!"
Mum waggled a finger at the two plants. "We've nae had troublemakers in a bit, but I expect a couple o' th' older "kids" tae be up tae mischief. If Tilly an' Tad show up, ye twa chase them right off th' island frae me, ye hear?"
Oh, rapture of raptures! Oh happiest of days! Rare were the times that they got to chase prey, and if Mum was distracted enough, they might even be able to bite a time or two as well!
"That's frae later, though. I hae something frae ye twa tae do right now ... well, as soon as I can get this crate open!"
Mum had forgotten to bring a crowbar over to her new place, and she didn't feel like taking a portal to the workshop just to get a tool. One thing would lead to another, and it'd be several hours before she got home again. She did, however, have the next best thing, at least in her eyes!
She took a deep breath, planted her feet solidly, and raised her ironwood rolling pin over her shoulder. She barely noticed the two carnivorous plants scattering as she wound up for a mighty swing.
First one upper corner of the crate was attacked, then another, until the lid was loose enough for her to tear off. So intent had she been on her work that she didn't even hear her apprentice Agnor come through the portal until he spoke up behind her.
"You know, Mum, you could have asked for me to bring over a crowbar."
"Och! Do nae sneak up on a body like that, lad!" Mum still held the rolling pin in a batter's pose, so the coldain wisely stood back several paces. "Anyway, I did nae think o' it earlier, an' I did nae expect this shipment until tomorrow. I've got it now, but mayhaps ye can help me remember tae get one made frae here?"
"Of course, Mum." He mentally translated her request into "Please remember to get one as Mum will forget" and filed it on his mental to-do list.
The two carnivorous plants edged closer again as Mum set down the rolling pin and lifted the top off the crate. Something smelled really delicious!
"Ye twa, I need ye tae clean the bones. Th' meat is frae ye, th' bones are frae me. Got it? NO eating th' bones!"
The plants were practically quivering by this point, as she tore off one side of the now badly battered crate and let them in. One of the meat- and hide-covered bones contained inside was as long as Niami was tall, and all of the bones combined were a quite hearty feast indeed!"
She grinned at the impassive Coldain as she turned from the crate. "After seeing th' pygmy projects wi' bone, I had an idea or twa I wanted tae try, an' this gi'es th' plants a treat at th' same time."
Agnor nodded, just as glad such experiments would take place on the well-ventilated island, and not in some enclosed shop where curing the bones would be an odiferous project. Then he cleared his throat, "As expected folks are coming up with some interesting recipes for this year's Nights of the Dead celebration. The merchants are getting in on the act, including some rather interesting housepets and plushies. One of them is even a rather clever swarm of bats."
"Bats!" Och!" Without a single word of explanation, Mum was scampering for the dock, and the bell back to Qeynos. Thankfully, Agnor was well used to Niami's quirks and just shrugged ruefully at the plants before heading into Mum's home to drop the rest of his notes on her kitchen table. It looked like he'd have some free time to go visit his ladylove, Gnormajean, after all.
A couple weeks later, Mum's little island was ready for the eager trick-or-treaters. She always went all-out on the homemade treats, making her a huge hit with the kids (and their parents), and the island was festooned with holiday decorations. Audrey and Seymour were also patrolling the island in their own leafy way, only stopping once in a while for a curious sniff.
Mum cooed and oohed appropriately at any of the small children, especially the ones who had homemade costumes instead of purchased illusions, and things seemed to be going smoothly. No sooner had Mum had that thought when she noticed a pair of pygmies glaring at the totem sculpture that Niami had made.
While Niami was known to be on friendly terms with the pygmies, her blue eyes narrowed as she took a second glance before stomping over to the two. She gabbled off a greeting in Gymy, the pygmy language, just to be safe, but when there was no response, she closed in on the pair.
The female spoke up at last, her tone belligerent, "Deino bones sacred. You blaspheme! BAD halfling! You no pygmy friend now!"
To the surprise of the gathered trick or treaters, Mum simply snorted. "Nice try Tilly an' Tad, but I told ye before that ye were nae welcome on my property e'er again after th' damage that ye did last year. What part o' that did ye nae understand? Clearly, ye did nae come tae repay the platinum ye owe me frae th' repairs!"
The male pygmy spoke up, "Don't know dis Tad. You BAD halfling! You give us things to make deino spirits less angry!"
Well, if that's the way they wanted to play it, Mum had a surprise or two in store for them.
She began ticking points off on her fingers as the crowd drew closer, blocking the way back to the docks. "First, ye speak common WORSE than any pygmy that it is my privilege tae know. Second, ANY self-respecting pygmy would recognize that those are nae deino bones - they're actually raptor bones hunted in th' Withered Lands. Third, ye forgot tae hide yuir trick or treat buckets, ye greedy fools!" Mum bent down the fourth finger, so her hand was now forming a fist. "An' fourth, ye forgot that those purchased illusion spells only change yuir look, nae yuir smell!"
Mum gestured to the pair of carnivorous plants that had crept closer while she stalled the pair. "Ye remember Audrey an' Seymour, don't ye?" Mum asked in a sickeningly sweet voice. "They remember ye!"
With that, the pair of fake pygmies shrieked and tried to push through the crowd to flee the pursuing plants. "Och! Such lovely music tae my ears. A failed trick by desctructive troublemakers means such a lovely treat frae me! If, I mean when, they actually make it back tae th' mainland, th' guards want tae hae a ..." she coughed delicately. "... chat wi' 'em aboot numerous break-ins an' thefts in town. Th' plants will make sure they do nae stray in th' meantime."
With that, Mum scooped up the treat pails that the two had left behind. "Ooooh, candy corn! My favorite!"
Due to the hectic schedule of prelude events and expansion prep for the team, there are no new quests this year. There are, however, new buyables and new crafting recipes.
These items require a nights of the dead candy (any type of NoTD candy) as well as tier 2 resources and tier 2 fuels. As with the NoTD recipes from past years, the recipe scroll requires a level 2 artisan to scribe. While the recipes can be created at that level, they are difficulty level 29.
Nights of the Dead candies of varying types can be found as body drops on undead and/or "creepy" monsters. To save on space, you can then convert your candies into candy corn at Grabby Gigglegibber who can be found at your home crafting society. Zam has a lovely list of mob types and what type of candy they drop that can be found here.

Wind Turbine Price List
Sun, Dec 01 by ATO.com
A wind turbine converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives the rotor to rotate and finally outputs AC power equipment. Wind turbines generally consist of blades, generator tails, towers, swivels, and energy storage devices. The blade is used to receive the wind and turn it into electricity through the nose. The tail makes the blade always face the direction of the wind to obtain the maximum wind energy. The rotation can make the nose rotate flexibly to achieve the function of adjusting the direction of the tail. The rotor of the nose is permanent. Magnets, stator windings cutting force lines generate electrical energy.
The principle of a wind turbine is an electrical device that converts wind energy into mechanical energy and mechanical energy into electrical energy. Broadly speaking, it is a kind of heat energy that uses the sun as the heat source and the atmosphere as the working medium. The wind turbine blades are rotated by the wind using a generator, and the speed of rotation is increased by a speed increaser to promote the motor to generate electricity.

Wind Turbine Routine Maintenance
In the operation of wind turbine generator, there are often some failures that must be addressed on site to handle sometimes regular maintenance work.
1. Carefully check whether the safety platform and ladder inside the fan are firm, whether the lift is working normally, whether the lighting in the tower is good, whether the pressure gauge of the hydraulic station is normal, whether the pressure oil and gearbox oil level are rotating in normal positions Is there any wear on the rotating parts, and whether the gear oil and hydraulic oil filter instructions are in the normal position and operating sound.
2. Listen to whether there is discharge sound or abnormal sound in the control cabinet. If there is sound, there may be loose terminals or poor contact. You must carefully check whether the sound during yaw is normal and whether there are dry grinding sounds. Whether there is abnormal noise in the gear box, listen to whether there is abnormal noise between the brake disc and brake pad, listen to the working sound of the generator and whether there is abnormal noise in the bearing, and listen to whether the sound of cutting wind of the blade is normal.
3. Clean up the work site after work to facilitate the observation of leaks in future work. Although the conventional maintenance and repair items are not complete, as long as we can do it carefully and carefully every time, we can prevent them in advance, identify and deal with them as soon as possible, prevent hidden troubles, and improve the equipment intact rate and availability.

Why Choose a Small Wind Turbine?
Working Principle of the Wind Turbine


I honestly recommend the HE-500s over the LCD-2s. The LCD-2s do have more impactful bass, but they have a very noticeable rolloff in the highs that I find disturbing, especially when listening to classical music. I will concede the LCD-2s certainly look pretty with a more pleasing aesthetic, but I would contend that the HE-500s are more accurate and neutral. The only way to know which you should get though is really to give them both a listen for yourself. I've had the opportunity to directly compare the LCD-2, LCD-3, LCD-3 with mods, and the HE-500 on the same stack using the same tracks.
While I do very much enjoy the LCD when listening to more bass emphasized songs such as one test track I use which is "Silence (feat Delirium)" which is a dubstep remix of Sarah McLachlan's "Silence" as well as Daft Punks "Get Lucky". However when listening to my classical test tracks, it becomes immediately apparent that there is a rolloff in the highs right around 18KHz. My classical test tracks are typically Arvo Part's "Spiegel Im Spiegel for violin and piano", Beethoven's "Piano Concert No 4 in G Major, Op 58" as played by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra (Linn Classical Studio Master), and Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No 14 in C Sharp Minor Moonlight, Op 27" as played by Artur Pizarro (Linn Classical Studio Master).
To some people however, they may find this rolloff more pleasurable as it can keep longer listening sessions from being fatiguing. Since I primarily listen analytically, I find it bothersome, but that may not be the case for you. The frequency rolloff in the highs on the LCD-2 and LCD-3 is noted in most of the reviews if you read online as well. I believe Inner Fidelity posted frequency response graphs showing this as well.
What did you use to drive your HE-500? I'm looking to finally buy the Schiit I've been holding off. Since I've "mistakenly" pressed the Join button on these.
Most orthos aren't picky to amps as long as they have enough power flowing through them. minimum is 1 watt per channel. suggested is 2+ per channel.
The HE-500 really does not benefit from 2+ Watts per channel.
That is not true at all. Run the Emotiva Mini-X into it and have a listen.
Actually I have . . . . no better than the Burson Soloist.
I am using a Schiit Lyr with the Sylvania Green Hornets swapped in for the tubes. I'm pretty happy with it, although it's not a balanced setup which is where I'm eventually going. I'm planning to demo a Bryston BHA-1 and a Woo WA22 as possible replacements sometime later this month.
It depends on the sensitivity of the drivers. Something like the HE-6 needs LOTS AND LOTS of power. The HE-500 is more sensitive than the HE-6, so doesn't require nearly the power. The HE-6 pretty much needs a speaker amp, but with the HE-500 you can adequately drive it with around 1-2W per channel, excess of 2W per channel is pretty much unnecessary.
I haven't heard the Soloist, but I've heard the Conductor and to be honest I was very much not impressed with it. I hope you're having a better experience with the Burson gear than I did, but it's permanently on my "avoid" list.

Miami Tours | Key silverside | Everglades Tours
Silverside Menidia menidia (Linnaeus) 1766
This silvery little fish is often confused with the young smelt, but it does not require very close examination to tell them apart for the adipose fin characteristic of the smelt is lacking in the silverside, while the latter has a spiny dorsal fin as well as a soft dorsal fin instead of the one soft dorsal only, as the smelt does; this last character distinguishes it equally from young herrings; its anal fin too is much longer than that of the smelt.
It is a slender fish, about one-sixth as deep as long, not counting caudal fin; thin-bodied but with rounded (not sharp-edged) belly; with short head; large eye; and small mouth, gaping hardly as far back as the front of the eye, and set very obliquely. Both head and body are clothed with large scales. The first dorsal fin (3 to 7 spines) is smaller than the second and originates about midway between the tip of the snout and the base of the caudal fin, the second dorsal has 7 to 10 soft rays and originates over the middle of the anal. The anal (of 23 to 26 rays, the first stiff and the others soft) is falcate in outline. The caudal peduncle is slender, the tail moderately forked.[45]
Translucent bottle green above, with top of head, nose, and chin dusky. The upper parts of the sides are thickly speckled with dark brown, and there is a silver band outlined above by a narrow black streak, running along each side from close behind the pectoral fin to the base of the caudal fin. The belly is white.
The silverside grows to a length of about 5½ inches, adults usually running 4 to 4½ inches long.
Silversides tend to congregate in schools usually made up of even-sized individuals. They frequent sandy or gravelly shores chiefly, and there is no reason to suppose that they ever venture out to sea. At high tide they are often seen among the sedge grass (Spartina), where it grows sparsely between tide marks, particularly about the inner bays and in river mouths where they follow the tide up and down the beach within a few yards of the water's edge. They also run up into brackish water; near St. Andrews, in fact, they are chiefly found in brackish situations though more generally distributed on the New Brunswick shore further up the Bay of Fundy and on the Nova Scotian side as a whole. They do not ordinarily descend deeper than a fathom or so in summer. But some of them, at any rate, sink [page 303] deeper in winter, probably to avoid low temperature, for Hildebrand and Schroeder[46] found them at depths of 5 to 27 fathoms at that season in Chesapeake Bay. But this is not their universal habit, for they are taken in winter through the ice, as well as in summer, in the southern side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. And they are resident throughout the year wherever found, generally speaking. Such, at least, is the case along southern New England.
They are omnivorous, feeding chiefly on copepods, mysids, shrimps, small decapod shrimps, amphipods, Cladocera, fish eggs (including their own), young squid, annelid worms, and molluscan larvae. Insects, too, that fall into the water have been found in their stomachs, as have algae and diatoms mixed with sand and mud. On the other hand, they are harried by every predaceous fish that comes close inshore, especially by bluefish and by striped bass. It was interesting in this connection to find that a dolphin (rare in the Gulf), taken at Sandwich, in Cape Cod Bay, in July 1951 (p. 361) was packed full of silversides.
They spawn in May, June, and early July[47] on the southern New England coast. Spawning may begin a little later in the Gulf of Maine, corresponding to more tardy vernal warming, while Leim writes[48] that they do so in June at Prince Edward Island.
The gap in the presence of silversides in abundance that seems to exist along the cool-water stretch from the western side of the Gulf of Maine to the southern side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (p. 304) suggests that they need summer temperatures as high as 68° or so for successful reproduction. But young fry and adults alike are indifferent to temperatures down to a degree or two above the freezing point of salt water, witness their presence in winter in Cape Cod Bay (p. 304) and below the ice in the bays on the northern side of Prince Edward Island (p. 304).
When the silversides are spawning they gather in schools to deposit their eggs on sandy bottom, often among the sedge grass at high tide, or above low-water mark. Capt. John B. Smith has described them spawning in the sedge at the head of Buzzards Bay, June 13, 1872, rolling from side to side, some jumping clear of the water, and in such multitudes that the water was "whitened with the milt, and the grass was so full of eggs that they could be taken up by the hand full," while small fishes of various kinds were "helping themselves to the dainty repast."[49]
The eggs, 1.1 to 1.2 mm. in diameter and each bearing a bunch of sticky filaments, sink and stick fast in ropy clusters or sheets. Incubation occupied 8 or 9 days in the laboratory at Woods Hole. The yolk is absorbed before hatching, at which time the larvae are about 3.85 to 5 mm. long, and the dorsal, anal, and caudal fins are formed in larvae of 12 to 15 mm. in length. The young grew to a length of 9.3 to 11.7 mm. during the first 20 days in the aquaria. Probably they grow more rapidly at liberty, for all sizes from fry of an inch or less to adults are to be found throughout the summer. Probably the silverside attains maturity at 1 year of age.
General range—
The northern variety of this silverside is common locally from the southern side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the outer [page 304] Nova Scotian coast to Massachusetts Bay, and very abundant thence southward to Chesapeake Bay, south of which it gives place to the southern form or intergrades, with it; the southern form has been detected as far north as Woods Hole, but never east of Cape Cod.
Occurrence in the Gulf of Maine—
The silverside is to be found all around the shores of the Gulf from Nova Scotia to Cape Cod, always, however, closely confined to the coastline. They are exceedingly plentiful around the sandy shores of Cape Cod Bay. And while we have seen them from Chelsea Beach in Boston Harbor, from Beverly and from Gloucester, many summers spent on the coast leave us with the impression that the silverside is neither as omnipresent nor as abundant from Massachusetts Bay northward, although large schools of them are often to be seen here and there along the sandy beaches on the Maine coast. Bushels, in fact, have been caught in a single haul of the seine in Casco Bay and very likely could be elsewhere.
Silversides are seldom seen along the stretches of rocky coast exposed to the open sea, which make up a large part of the northern shore line of the Gulf of Maine. In Passamaquoddy Bay Huntsman tells us[50] "they are largely restricted to brackish water and hence not very common," but they must be rather generally present in suitable situations around the shore line of the Bay of Fundy, being reported from St. John and Kennebecasis Bay, from Annapolis basin and from St. Mary Bay. Nothing is known as to their status along the Nova Scotian coast of the open Gulf of Maine, or even whether there are any silversides there at all. Halifax is the most northerly locality where they are recorded on the outer coast of Nova Scotia.[51] But Leim[52] reports them so plentiful in the shallows of the southern side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence that "hardly a seine haul has been made without catching several, and as many as 3,500 have been taken at once" in Malpeque Bay on the north shore of Prince Edward Island, where they are taken in winter through the ice, as well as in summer. Enough of them, in fact, are sometimes caught there to be worth canning.[53] Their abundance there contrasted with their evident scarcity along outer Nova Scotia suggests the presence of an isolated population (or populations) in suitable situations in the southern side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, able to maintain itself because summer temperatures in the shallows there are high enough for its successful propagation.
The chief function of the silverside in the economy of the sea is to feed predaceous fishes such as bluefish, mackerel, and striped bass. The silverside is of no commercial value north of Cape Cod, being too small and too soft to answer the never satisfied demand for bait for the offshore fisheries, but they are very generally used to bait eelpots on the Rhode Island coast, and they are excellent on the table, fried, as whitebait.
[45] The common silverside is represented on the coasts of the eastern United States by two races, a southern and a northern, not, however, very distinct and connected by such various intergradations that they hardly deserve two names, subspecies menidia for the southern and subspecies notata for the northern. The southern form has fewer scales than the northern, only 4 instead of 5 spines in the first dorsal, and is rather a stouter-bodied fish. Kendall has given an account of the genus (Report, U. S. Comm. Fish (1901) 1902, p. 241). For a recent discussion see Bayliffe (Publ. 90, Chesapeake Biol. Lab., Maryland Dept. Nat. Res., 1950, p. 5).

EIT InnoEnergy home page News & events The Business Booster 2019 was a great success!
The Business Booster 2019 was a great success!
The Business Booster (TBB), Europe's catalyst for clean energy innovation, took place from 3-4 October in Paris. It was our most successful edition to date, with over 1,200 attendees from 44 countries and 2,100+ business meetings organised through our B2B tool, and over 160 InnoEnergy sustainable energy innovations. We're really proud of the success of this event!
Some of the many highlights included Dr. Steven Chu's keynote address. As the 12th United States Secretary of Energy and Nobel Prize winner he had great insight to share about the impact of humans on our planet and how we affect climate change. During the Energy Futures roundtable session he said: "The biggest challenge in climate change is the spread of correct information".
We were also really inspired by Former President of Ireland and UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and also a keynote speaker during the event: Mary Robinson, who shared that "The future of our children is in danger because of climate change! The world badly needs problem solvers and solution finders like you."
We also enjoyed hearing from Schneider Electric France CEO, Christel Heydemann, CEO and President of EDF, Jean-Bernard Lévy, and General Director for Energy and Climate at the Ministry for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition Laurent Michel. In addition, we were lucky to have numerous other really interesting individuals speak during the parallel sessions and reverse pitches, see all of them here.
During the event we showcased our own thought leadership by launching a new study that analysed 800 sustainable energy entrepreneurs and identified five key common competencies among them. The report was launched at a press conference on day 1 of the event and was well attended by many of the top media representatives who attended the event. See the report here.
As we do every year, many of the 160 start-ups that came to the event presented their companies and products during four-minute pitching sessions. Through public voting, five finalists were chosen to pitch to an expert jury, who selected the top three pitches to receive cash prizes that will help the companies push their innovations even further forward. This year we're proud to announce that Skeleton Technologies was awarded with a cheque for 10,000 euro for winning first prize, instagrid won second prize receiving 3,000 euros and Energy Square won third prize also receiving a reward of 3,000 euros. Congratulations all!

Sonia Teresa Sánchez (1964, Villa Ángela, provincia de Chaco) es una activista feminista, profesora y animadora cultural argentina. Sánchez es sobreviviente de trata de personas con fines de explotación sexual y una defensora del abolicionismo de la prostitución. En 2012 fue elegida Mujer Destacada del año.

Biografía
A sus 17 años, contrariando a sus padres, viajó desde su ciudad natal a Buenos Aires, como empleada doméstica, pero con exiguo sueldo. Fue echada a la calle, y explotada sexualmente durante 6 años, desde los diecinueve.  Formó parte de la  Asociación de Mujeres Meretrices de Argentina. Más tarde decidió unir su experiencia de vida a la reflexión teórica y política sobre temáticas de género, trata de personas y prostitución.

Sánchez ha expresado en un tramo del programa de televisión "Historias debidas":
Sánchez defiende el abolicionismo y asegura que la idea de que existe el trabajo sexual es una falacia:
Para Sánchez, la prostitución no es un trabajo sino la violación de los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales de las mujeres.

Reconocimientos
El 8 de marzo de 2012 fue elegida por la provincia del Chaco como Mujer Destacada del año, en reconocimiento a su labor incansable por los derechos de las mujeres. Fue elegida por un jurado integrado por personalidades del ámbito político, social y cultural, quienes además de considerarla merecedora del galardón instituido por ley, le otorgaron también el premio a la búsqueda de equidad entre géneros.

La galardonada aseguró haber «sentido una caricia en el alma», lo que le permitirá continuar trabajando para lograr los principales objetivos.

135 years ago today - Sunday, April 6th, 1884
[General Authority Abraham H. Cannon]
Last day of Gen. Conf. "At a Priesthood meeting held in the evening (after the Hall was cleared of all those who were not worthy of being present by arranging the brethren according to wards and stakes" the strongest language in regard to Plural Marriage was used that I ever heard, and among other things it was stated that all men in positions who would not observe and fulfill that law should be removed from their places. The Spirit of the Lord rested powerfully upon the First Presidency each of whom addressed the meeting. All present felt the force of the remarks made."

Bangkok, Thailand May 6, 2011 - "It is a test that the international community has to pass. Failure would shake further the faith of the people's region in the emerging international order and the primacy of international law." This comes from Brookings Institution's "Libya's Test of the New International Order," February 2011.
Perhaps no single statement encapsulates better what the war in Libya is really about. Incentives for collaborators most certainly include Libya's oil, the exploitation of their people, and the destruction of a financial, economic, political, and strategic competitor in the region. However, the exercise of the global corporate-financiers' "primacy" over national sovereignty and the alarming, subsequent implications such an assertion represents, is the fundamental motivation driving this war.
This quite literally is a test of the West's proposed global governance system. As we watch Al-Qaeda rebels move westward to Tripoli with US air support, and as they conduct an array of crimes against humanity, we can see just how ignoble, morally bankrupt, and self-serving the true intentions of global governance really are. And even as the war's outcome rests in uncertainty, the "Libyan Precedent" is already being wielded against Syria and other nation-states resisting openly admitted, foreign-funded sedition.
The very genesis of Al-Qaeda was in the mountains of Afghanistan during the 1980's Soviet invasion. The United States and Saudi Arabia along with the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) assisted the Afghans in their fight against the Soviet war machine. It was during this time that many of today's Libyan rebels were first brought into America's budding "Islamic" foreign legion, also known as Al-Qaeda. These fighters would go back to Libya after the Soviets were expelled, and go on to support US and British efforts to remove Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi from power.
For nearly 3 decades the US and British provided these Libyan fighters with weapons and support in their bid to oust the nationalistic Qaddafi. The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in particular, not only received aid and assistance from the West, but also from Osama Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda "legionaries." LIFG leader Noman Benotman literally stood face-to-face with Bin Laden, as he and his fighters trained and prepared for operations against Qaddafi with Al Qaeda's assistance.
foreign military intervention in Serbia.
One such attack by the LIFG, reported by the Washington Post, saw two German anti-terrorism agents gunned down in 1994. Qaddafi's attempt to subsequently issue an INTERPOL arrest warrant against Al Qaeda's Osama Bin Laden, who was supporting the LIFG at the time, was actually thwarted by British MI6. MI6, according to the Washington Post article, had been concurrently supporting the LIFG alongside Al Qaeda and the warrant wasn't issued until 1998.
LIFG leader Noman Benotman now supports the armed, foreign-backed rebellion from his London sanctuary, alongside other Libyan rebel leaders, Syrian opposition leaders, Egyptians, Yemenis, Iranians, Thais, and a myriad of other foreign-funded exiled forces of sedition working on similar "revolutions" on behalf of their corporate-financier paymasters.
Additionally, and perhaps most damning, is current Libyan rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, who according to the London Telegraph, "fought against "the foreign [US] invasion" in Afghanistan, before being "captured in 2002 in Peshwar, in Pakistan". He was later handed over to the US, and then held in Libya before being released in 2008." Many of the fighters under Hasidi also fought in Iraq against US troops. The current rebel strongholds of Benghazi and Derna served as the premier recruiting grounds for Al-Qaeda forces during the Iraq War, according to a West Point military study. Quite literally, John McCain in his recent trip to Benghazi, was patting on the back and shaking the hands of the very men who sent Americans home in pine boxes from Iraq.
The following time line encapsulates this narrative and perhaps is the most instructive manner through which to view the current "spontaneous" conflict. We see quite clearly there was nothing "spontaneous" nor "indigenous" about the February 17, 2011 "Day of Rage," nor the armed conflict that followed immediately afterward.
1994: LIFG kills 2 German anti-terrorism agents. Qaddafi seeks arrest warrant for Osama Bin Laden in connection to the attack but is blocked by MI6 who was concurrently aiding the LIFG.
2003: Upon Qaddafi's abandonment of WMD programs, Libya's collaboration with MI6 & the CIA to identify and expose the LIFG networks begins, giving Western intelligence a windfall of information regarding the group. Ironically this information would give Western nations an entire army to rebuild and turn against Qaddafi in 2011.
2011: Late April; Documented evidence is revealed that Libya's rebels are conducting a barbaric campaign, employing extrajudicial killings, indiscriminate military force, child-soldiers, landmines, and torture. New York Times blames a lack of support.
2011: Late April, early May; Followed by calls to assassinate Qaddafi, ordnance crash into his son's home killing him and 3 of Qaddafi's grandchildren. NATO concurrently seeks a new UN resolution authorizing ground troops while aggressor states seek to release seized Libyan assets to the rebels.
Viewed through the prism of history we see that this war did not start on February 17, 2011 with Qaddafi reportedly killing unarmed, peaceful protesters. This is the crescendo of 30 years of subversion, armed insurrection, terrorism, and extraterritorial military aggression on the part of the West and its proxies in eastern Libya as well as America's Al-Qaeda foreign legion.
The war has descended into the realm of the surreal with John McCain walking amongst men who just finished tours in Iraq killing US troops. Equally surreal are senators calling for billions in aid to be handed over to rebels who are on record committing horrendous, documented crimes against humanity, and calls for national and international law to be thrown to the wayside in order to assassinate Libya's leader Muammar Qaddafi.
NATO has been seeking a new resolution from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), calling UNSC r.1973 inadequate. NATO spokesman James Appathurai recently stated that, "the UN Security Council should adopt a new resolution on Libya. Resolution 1973 does not envisage land operations. We need a new resolution." Of course, the architects behind the current and growing global conflagration have said as early as March that ground troops would be necessary and their inclusion in the assault on Libya were inevitable.
Propagandist Bill Kristol of the Foundation for Defending Democracies (FDD) and the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI) stated in a March 20, 2011 interview that, "no, we cannot leave Gaddafi in power and we won't leave Gaddafi in power. The immediate military mission, Admiral Mullen correctly described but the political goal is to remove Gaddafi and ultimately military assets will serve that political goal. First we protect civilians and destroy his military capability. And then we help other remove him indirectly, presumably. Though I, unlike the president, would not rule out ultimately having to go in with peacekeeping and nation stabilizing forces. And I wouldn't be surprised if we do that at the end of the day."
Quite obviously this complete contradiction of the litany of lies the American public is fed on a daily basis is the blueprint that fellow FDD member Senator Joe Lieberman and International Republican Institute members Lindsey Graham and John McCain are channeling every time they belly up to a podium calling for an escalation of the war in Libya. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman both called for increased US intervention and to literally assassinate Qaddafi and his inner-circle.
Graham then took it upon himself to deride the UN mandate and even the UN's authority in general by stating, "the people around Gadhafi need to wake up every day wondering, 'Will this be my last?' The military commanders in Tripoli supporting Gadhafi should be pounded. So I would not let the U.N. mandate stop what is the right thing to do. You cannot protect the Libyan people if Gadhafi stays. You cannot protect our vital national security interests if Gadhafi stays. You can't let the Russians and the Chinese veto the freedom agenda. So any time you go to the United Nations Security Council, you run into the Russians and the Chinese. These are quasi-dictatorships, so I wouldn't be locked down by the U.N. mandate."
This of course, beckons one to question, if Graham and his corporate-financier sponsors aren't beholden to the US Constitution or the United Nations, from where do they derive their authority? Graham, McCain, and Lieberman are not rogue politicians, they are the "elected representatives" of a global corporate-financier oligarchy who has apparently decided that the war with Libya will be won at any cost, with or without national or even contrived international legal groundings. It then would make little sense for us to shake our fists in anger at these puppet politicians, rather, we should direct our ire toward the unelected corporate-financier interests unilaterally driving this agenda.
It is essential that as the public grows increasingly aware that something is tragically wrong with our nation and indeed the "international community," they also realize that localization, self-sufficiency, and true political and economic independence are the answers.

Q: Python ThreadPoolExecutor: future.result randomly returns None So I have the following code for threading:
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
                    futures = []
                    for url in total_links:
                        futures.append(executor.submit(process_url, input_url=url))
                    for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(futures):
                        print('RESULT INSIDE')
                        result = future.result() #Returns None randomly
                        print(result)
                        records.append(result)

At times future.result() returns None. Below is the process_url function:
def process_url(input_url):
    res = None
    sleep(0.07)
    r = session.get(input_url, headers=headers, cookies=c, cert=cert, timeout=20)

    if r.status_code == 200:
        soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'lxml')
        res = get_status(soup)
        print('Inside Process URL')
        print(res)
        print('======================')
    return res

res will always have data available but that data is not being fetched under thread. I also add that it is happening randomly that is, If I run script 5 times then at least once it returns None.

A: So there may be several issues, but most notably if you don't receive a status code of 200 the futures object will return None. For example, say a thread goes and retrieves a URL, but a following thread is unable to reach a host, the request gets timed out, etc. that thread will report back None.
You could validate this behavior by:

*

*Making sure each request is actually working, e.g making sure res=None changes to to the success state in your thread. What happens if the request times out? Are you returning those details? If not, res=None

*Adding logic to show errors, e.g. make sure res=None is referencing a response.
def process_url(input_url):

I would potentially use a dictionary instead of an array as the futures object so you can reference each thread by it's url. Right now, its by index. This way you can know which url is the culprit.
# We can use a with statement to ensure threads are cleaned up promptly
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5) as executor:
    # Start the load operations and mark each future with its URL
    future_to_url = {executor.submit(load_url, url, 20): url for url in URLS}
    for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(future_to_url):
        url = future_to_url[future]
        try:
            data = future.result()
        except Exception as exc:
            print('%r generated an exception: %s' % (url, exc))
            return "Something went wrong!"
        else:
            print('%r page is %d bytes' % (url, len(data)))
            return "Success!"

But the process you're running is not "randomly" returning None. The res object is referencing None during your execution. The only time you may also receive a None object is if the thread isn't collecting a result. Here are the docs for reference.
