'Same December' - Thoughts on 'Chaos and Disorder'
I've been listening to Prince's 1996 contractual obligation ... er ... album Chaos and Disorder this week. I don't think it's an essential listen, but it's certainly better than its reputation. And it's always nice to hear Rosie Gaines singing with Prince. Honestly, there are gems on all of his albums.
Chaos and Disorder is commended for its rock sound, but I think Prince has better material in that genre on other albums. My favorite rocker on here is the bluesy "Zannalee," which was originally slated for The Undertaker, a much better project that I wish had been released in Guitar World in 1993 as planned. (Psst! Prince Estate, there's still time to partner with the publication to do this, and a dope writer can interview musicians Sonny T. and Michael Bland about it again.) Additionally, you would expect a song like "I Rock, Therefore I Am" to smolder, but it's underwhelming.
A lot of people prefer the only single, "Dinner with Delores," and it's a pleasant song. However, I never find myself playing this unless I'm purposely engaging the entire album. It's better live; Prince gave a great performance of the track and "Zannalee" on the "Today" show's "Summer Concert Series" in 1996. The audience was really diverse and I actually teared up watching some of them cry. And I always love to see Bryant Gumble and Prince interacting; you can tell they had a lot of respect for each other. (Try not to wince, though, when Katie Couric calls the superstar Prince instead of his new name.)
My favorite song on the album is "The Same December," because of its catchy chorus, full sound and gospel outro. Also, the lyrics are very thoughtful:
"You only see what your heart will show
You only love when your soul remembers
We all come from the same December
And in the end, that's where we'll go"
Prince often talked about perception, and people's habit of projecting their own beliefs or desires on things they witness or consume.
"If you looked at that picture [on Lovesexy] and some ill come out your mouth, then that's what you are—it's looking right back at you in the mirror." - Prince, 1990
There are also spiritual concepts running through the song, including reincarnation and the theory of returning to the Source (God or absolute, eternal reality)--which were in line with what Prince was studying at the time. Similar themes are also found on Chaos and Disorder's "Into the Light," which was inspired by author Betty Eadie's book, Embraced by the Light, about her near-death experience. (Influenced by Biblical text, Prince often used "light" as a symbol for God and/or Jesus throughout his career.)
The last track on the album, "Had U," is a popular topic of discussion; it's rumored to be a thinly veiled kiss-off to Warner Bros. It's interesting to me because I can hear all of the opportunities for Prince to elaborate on the melody and elevate the song to something great, but that's not the point. He was done giving the record label his best material, and the frustration I feel at the abrupt ending is something I'm sure he anticipated. Like he says on "Dinner with Delores," "No more, that's the end."
What are your favorite tracks on Chaos and Disorder?

"The Exodus Has Begun" - Black Magnolias Literary Journal
If you're a fan of this blog, you know I often stress the importance of engaging writing and research on Prince by Black writers. Last year, I wrote about the excellent, special Prince issue of the Howard Journal of Communications. I've also had the privilege of participating in professor De Angela L. Duff's symposia on Prince. (You can read my recap of one of her most recent academic events here.)
This week, I'd like to share some brief opinions on the special Prince issue of the Black Magnolias Literary Journal, edited by C. Liegh McInnis, a professor at Jackson State University, and author of The Lyrics of Prince: A Literary Look at a Creative, Musical Poet, Philosopher, and Storyteller. In addition to being a lovely person, McInnis is a passionate, compelling speaker, who has inspired many audiences of Prince fans with his presentations.
This issue of Black Magnolias, released last spring, features Black scholars and others who are clearly interested in centering Prince's Blackness in analyses of the artist's work, life and legacy. It's troubling that many Prince fans are hostile at the thought of talking about Prince as a Black man affected by and concerned with systemic racism, and I don't expect a lot of them to come around. But for fans who say they are interested in understanding all aspects of Prince's humanity, I would recommend reading collections like this one. There are a lot of people, including Black writers, who are putting in work.
I haven't finished reading each piece yet, and I am still unpacking what I have read, but I wanted to share some thoughts. One of McInnis' goals for studying Prince's work is to gauge "the full realm of Black diversity," and thus the "full realm of Black humanity." Prince is a perfect subject for this, and the writers worked diligently toward this end. I also appreciated that McInnis stressed the need for Black musicians to be taken seriously ("Unlike the Beatles or Bob Dylan, rarely are African Americans studied for their intellectual value," he writes). Lately I've been thinking about the ways in which my research on Prince was minimized by some when I was working on my master's thesis (thank God for the professors who did believe in what I was doing). It's good to know I am not alone in this struggle.
I've singled out a few essays/papers that stood out to me so far.
"She's Always In My Hair: Jill Jones--The Unheralded Muse of Prince" by De Angela L. Duff
This piece provides the most comprehensive look at Jones' contributions to Prince's work that I've seen to date. It unpacks how Prince's obsession with creating mystery and being in control had a detrimental effect on Jones' career, and demonstrates her absence from Prince's narrative, even after his death. I was very intrigued by the impact of race (Jones is biracial and fair-skinned) on Jones' marketability for both Black and white audiences. As I read Duff's piece, I thought about Mariah Carey's struggles with racism as a biracial artist in the music industry; they are outlined in her new memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. Though Carey achieved international superstardom, I think her story is an effective companion piece to this paper; I wonder if she and Jones had similar experiences.
"The Purple Avatar: A Brief Discussion of Prince's Guitar Greatness" by Darryl Pete
We need more scholarship breaking down Prince's guitar playing. Pete's essay is based more on his personal experience as a guitarist than strict musical analysis, but I appreciated his comparisons of Prince's music to work by everyone from Chuck Berry to Ernie Isley. I also enjoyed reading about Prince's guitar work on "Lady Cab Driver," a song I would not have immediately singled out as an example of his impressive technique. Speaking about "Let's Go Crazy," Pete writes, "That heavenly note climaxing at the end of (the song) seemed to sustain forever! The note wasn't just sustaining itself but the possibility of what Black music could be, what it had been, what had been taken/stolen from it, and what it could reclaim." I thought that was the most powerful passage, and it made me hungry for more analysis about Prince, race and rock 'n' roll.
"How the Exodus Began: Prince and the Black Working Class Imagination" by Robert Loss
This is one of the best papers I've read on Prince, and it should be required reading for all fans and scholars. It's a long one; Loss put in an incredible amount of work in this nearly 60-page piece. Ever since Prince's memoir, The Beautiful Ones, came out, I have been thinking and writing about the order, discipline and utilitarian spirit found in Prince's work. Those attributes come not only from Prince's father and funk conventions, but a longstanding tradition in Black life. It's something that Black people know innately, but it's always important to have it articulated on paper. For example, I knew I got extremely emotional seeing Prince wearing a scarf at the Super Bowl halftime show--one of the most prominent stages in the world--but I didn't really know why until I unpacked it with a Black friend and wrote it down. Loss's essay adds even more context for Prince's signifiers of Black working-class values--like the scarf. Using academic frameworks and citing work by Black scholars (including writing by McInnis), Loss analyzes relevant themes in Prince's art, but also explores the ways in which Prince's art was used by others for social and political gains; for example, his 1995 song "We March" was played at the first Million Man March, which he also donated $50,000 to, according to Minister Louis Farrakhan. And there are numerous examples of Prince donating proceeds of ticket sales to his concerts for the advancement of Black and other marginalized people.
"The Spiritual as the Political in the Works of Prince and the Staple Singers" by C. Liegh McInnis
If you're a fan of Prince, you should know about his musical relationship with legendary soul and gospel singer Mavis Staples, but you probably haven't broken down the comparisons between Prince's music and the work of the Staple Singers in the context of Black liberation theology. No need to worry, McInnis has done it for us in this excellent paper. Citing specific song examples, McInnis explains how both artists utilized Christian theology as a means to liberate Black people from oppression. He also stresses that Black liberation theology is rooted in African spirituality, which is rarely discussed in writings on Prince and religion. This piece made me think once again about innate understanding; as I've noted previously on this blog, some Black people can listen to songs like "Beautiful, Loved and Blessed," "Black Sweat" and even "Act of God" and feel that Prince is speaking to their liberation, but writing about this for everyone to read is necessary. With that, I'll close with a statement by McInnis:
"For the Staple Singers and Prince, the primary goal of artistry is to appeal to the hearts and minds of listeners to produce the catharsis that moves them to evolve spiritually so that their spiritual evolution manifests itself in the socio-political structure. To do anything else is to be both ungodly and unartistic."

"Tick, Tick, Bang" - Song of the Month
Each month I will share some brief, personal thoughts on one of my favorite Prince songs.
"Like this chain around my hip, I want a 24-karat relationship." Me too, Prince. Me too. Hearing that line reminds me of when my sister and I re-watched Graffiti Bridge in 2004. We laughed and reminisced about the movie, which was a major part of our childhood. I remember my sister emphasizing this particular line when we were watching the "Tick, Tick, Bang" performance--one of the best in the film. I think I started loving this song after discovering she loved it; I guess I still want to be like my big sis. We were cracking up watching Prince do his best choreography as members of The Time--his rivals--looked bored. For years I assumed that, because my sister loved this movie, she was a Prince fan; earlier this year, she admitted she respected him but wasn't into a lot of his music. Anyhow, we'll always have "Tick, Tick, Bang." I chuckle thinking about how much I gravitate toward the filthiest song on an album that is largely spiritual and an important part of Prince's religious journey. It's another song he wrote at the beginning of his career (1981) and then brilliantly updated; he transformed it from a punk tune to a '90s, hip-hop-inspired ditty. I love the guitar, and I think the way he arranges the sound effects and vocals is supremely creative. Thanks to PrinceVault, I learned Prince sampled drums from Jimi Hendrix's "Little Miss Lover," which reminds me that I really need to write (or commission) a Hendrix-related post on my blog. I'm also disappointed I didn't know this when I did my samples quiz last year.

"Walkin' in Glory" - Some Thoughts on "Sign O' the Times" + Spirituality
I suppose this is my official return to the blog after missing a few weeks due to, well, have you been paying attention to 2020? In addition to coping with the pandemic, presidential election (at the time of publication, we still didn't know who won) and being Black following the death of George Floyd, I have been hard at work on some lengthy journalism assignments.
I investigated the increase in gun violence this summer and returned to my hometown to talk to about the election. Later this month, I'll publish a nine-part series on systemic racism.
As a heads up -- I'll be taking another break in December to have surgery and recover. But I think I'm going to schedule some "throwback" posts while I'm gone.
With all that said, I hope everyone is still enjoying the Sign O' the Times Super Deluxe. I figured I'd share some thoughts on spirituality before I move on to other things.
When I think about this album and this time period, Prince's father, John L. Nelson, comes to mind. In fact, I wish he were a greater part of the narrative. It will take some people speaking up and then actually being given a platform to share their stories about Nelson, who influenced both Prince's jazz sound and his religious leanings.
When I hear Prince's famous words in 1986, "We're on the brink of something ... strict and wild and pretty," thoughts of his father's discipline, combined with his mother's spontaneity, come to mind. Prince discusses this dichotomy briefly in his memoir. Specifically, Prince talks about the ways in which his father's religious principles contributed to his life of order and self-sufficiency--qualities Prince admired.
"This man read the Bible daily. And if he needed something, no matter what it was, he would make it himself. ... Religion is about self-development. That's all it is." - Prince, The Beautiful Ones
It's no surprise that, as Prince and his father were enjoying a period of camaraderie, Prince's music was becoming more blatantly religious. Sign O' the Times' "The Cross" was his most direct expression of Christian faith on one of his own studio albums at that point. I think because he still didn't say the name Jesus (that would come just a year later on Lovesexy), it's more digestible for fans who aren't Christians. Plus, it's a great rocker!
When I was an undergraduate student at Northern Kentucky University, I took a biography class and wrote about Prince's spirituality, naturally. I ended up presenting my work via a display in the library, where I set up a listening station. I included "The Cross" on the playlist, and I'll never forget a woman crying after hearing the song for the first time.
Printout from presentation (2008)
Prince expresses his spiritual growth through his songs about relationships on Sign O' the Times; he promotes the joy of monogamous, love-based unions, and explores some of his shortcomings and contradictions. I broke this down last month with my #PrinceTwitterThread about the song "Forever in My Life."
It's always a pleasure to participate in @DeejayUmb and @EdgarKruize's #PrinceTwitterThread series. We're in the midst of tackling the #SOTTDeluxe album. Today, I'll be talking about "Forever in My Life." pic.twitter.com/ZAgn7cwbPB
— Erica Thompson (@Miss_EThompson) October 21, 2020
During the Sign O' the Times era, journalists acknowledged Prince's religion, but had no desire to investigate it as it was presented on the album. And they continued to minimize its complexity. The album also failed to reach the level of success of Prince's earlier projects. We often here that Prince didn't care about commercial achievement, but it simply isn't true. It wasn't lost on him that his sales were decreasing as his music was becoming more spiritual, and we can see his struggle to reconcile that with the Black Album saga that would play out later that year.
"He's developed an urge to make big social and mystical statements, which usually come out confused; Prince is no deep thinker." - Jon Pareles, New York Times, 1987
The Vault tracks on the Sign O' the Times Super Deluxe release only solidify where Prince's faith was at the time. It is a pleasure to hear Prince do straight-ahead gospel on the previously unreleased track "Walkin' in Glory," which was recorded on a Sunday. I'm also glad people like his engineer at the time, Susan Rogers, are speaking more about his pattern of "repenting" by recording holy songs at the same time as his risqué tunes. Prince had a complex relationship with the sacred and profane, and was continuously refining what he believed about the intersection of the two. It is not surprising to me that he used the music from "Glory" for "2 Nigs United 4 West Compton" on the explicit Black Album--or that a party song like "The Ball" could be transformed into a religious song like "Eye No."
"Sex is the door-opener. Once you open the door …" - Prince, 1997
If Prince had released "Walkin' in Glory" or the song "Crystal Ball" at this time, it would have been the first time people heard the name Jesus on an official project. That's why hearing him say, "Save me, Jesus" on "Anna Stesia" in 1988 is so impactful. It's interesting to think about how and why he made the decision to finally declare his faith in that manner; I'm sure his spiritual awakening prior to the Lovesexy album played a large role.
The whole concept of "signs of the times" can be found in the Bible, as Jesus explains the markers of his return. (And we know Prince was obsessed with the concept of the "Second Coming.") Prince may have even been inspired by the Seventh-day Adventist publication Signs of the Times, which he may have read in his childhood church. And his father wasn't the only religious person in his circle; I interviewed a few people--including Jehovah's Witnesses--who were sharing their beliefs with Prince during this time. Let's pray I get to share those, and my book, soon.

Ex-president leaves for visit to Malaysia
November 15, 2016 taiwanwireservice.com Government, Human Rights
Former President Ma Ying-jeou (???) left Taiwan for Malaysia on Tuesday for a four-day trip, his first overseas visit since leaving office on May 20.
Speaking at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport before departing, Ma dismissed as "outrageous" reports that his Malaysian visit was being made to help promote China's "Belt and Road" initiative, as has been reported by a local newspaper .
The "Belt and Road" initiative represents an attempt by Beijing to project China's economic influence into southeast, south and central Asia and bolster its own economy, and it combines the "the Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "21st-Century Maritime Silk Road."
He said that after people hear his speech on Thursday, they will know what it covers, and he has asked the newspaper that has published what he called the "misinformation" to admit its mistake and apologize then.
Ma is making the visit at the invitation of Southern University College and the 8th World Chinese Economic Summit.
He said the invitation letters and promotional materials have described him as the "former president of Taiwan," but he "deeply regretted " that a Malaysian newspaper has called him "a former leader of Taiwan."
"This is because a media has to be neutral and professional and not swayed by undue forces to change its stance," he said, adding that he would no longer deal with such a media outlet.
In an exclusive interview with Ma, the Sin Chew Daily described him as a "former president of Taiwan," but its online edition calls him "former leader of Taiwan."
The Sin Chew Daily claims to be the biggest-circulation Chinese-language newspaper in Southeast Asia -- "the largest Chinese language media outside of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan."
After arriving in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, Ma will proceed to Johor, where he will give a speech on the future of the Chinese world at Southern University College.
On Wednesday, the former president will head to Penang to visit some historical sites previously visited by Republic of China founding father Sun Yat-sen.
On Thursday, he will attend the 8th World Chinese Economic Summit in Melaka and speak on closer economic relations between Taiwan and the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Ma is slated to return to Taiwan on Friday.

Pasta e Fagioli: This classic pasta and bean Italian soup is loaded with flavor and with the added ground beef, it makes for a satisfying meal.
I love Pasta e Fagioli and it literally means "pasta and beans". Everyone has their own version of this favorite Italian soup and I like to add some ground beef to mine to give it even more flavor. I guess this is quite similar to the Olive Garden version; though they use a variety of beans whereas I just add cannellini beans so I can't truly call it a copycat, the taste is fantastic nonetheless.
This Pasta e Fagioli is quite simple to prepare as well and can be made the day before and reheated. It actually tastes even better once all of the flavors sit together for a while.
Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven; remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, heat some oil and add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and tomatoes. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the browned ground beef back to the pot along with beef broth, water, tomato paste, oregano, beans, and Pecorino Romano cheese. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 40-45 minutes.
Add the pasta (ditalini); then let simmer for another 15 minutes.
This batch makes 8 cups and can also be frozen (though the pasta may break apart a bit once defrosted). This Pasta e Fagioli recipe is such a hearty, robust soup that we just eat this with a nice, warm loaf of crusty Italian bread (great for dipping!) ~Enjoy!
Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the oil and add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and tomatoes. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the browned ground beef back to the pot along with beef broth, water, tomato paste, oregano, beans, and cheese. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 40-45 minutes.
Add the pasta; then let simmer for another 15 minutes.
Carrie, this looks absolutely delish! Pasta e Fagioli is one of my favorites soups, and I really love your addition of ground beef!
yum! i love any kind of pasta!
This is so hearty too, enjoy!
Thank you for sharing this recipe, Chris loves this soup.

Q: Notify Appsync User on Friend Request Im using Appsync and Cognito for a browser based Vue application.
I have a model with 2 DynamoDB tables one to keep track of Users and another for Follows. I want to be able to notify users when another user follows them by email. How can I leverage Cognito, AppSync or SES to do this
Here is my model:
type User {
    username: String!
    following: [Follow]
}

type Follow {
    username: String!
    following: String!
}

How can I notify users via e-mail on a new follow?

A: That should be totally possible, I can think of a few ways to do this:
1) Set up DynamoDB streams on your follows table, then hook up a Lambda to that stream by using the stream as an event source, meaning the Lambda would poll the stream on it's own so you don't have to worry about getting the event. In that Lambda, parse out the follower and followee, and send an email to SES with the appropriate context.
2) Instead of a direct DynamoDB data source, use a Lambda data source. In this Lambda data source, first communicate with Dynamo as you would normally, then directly call SES right there.
3) Set up pipeline resolvers on a new follow mutation. The first stage would be a pure Dynamo data source, then the following one would be tasked with sending the email. This is effectively the same as 2, just with cleaner separation of logic.
I would personally say 1 or 3 are great options, but it's a bit up to your application needs/personal preferences.

An ammeter sensitive to a single electron.
Often one of the limiting factors in the rate of scientific discovery is the development of instrumentation and signal processing techniques. For instance, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been around for a long time but MRI is much newer because it had to wait for the associated technology to catch up. I am very happy to report that the field is officially closed on one particular branch of instrumentation - the ammeter.
The ammeter measures the rate of flow of electrons between two points in an electrical circuit. However, you can also think of current as the accumulation of charge at the end point of your measurement, in which case the minimum charge is one electron and the minimum current depends on how patient you are (e.g., the longer you wait the smaller the current value you measure). Thus, an ammeter that is sensitive to the passing of a single electron is as good as it gets. This is exactly what a group of researchers in Japan have achieved.
The ammeter consists of two quantum dots, which are essentially weak traps for electrons. These quantum dots are coupled together so that the electrons being counted flow from one dot to the next and then out of the system. The actual measurement is made by a second circuit which is placed in proximity to the pair of dots. This circuit has a current flowing through it which can be measured by a normal ammeter. However, the amount of charge in each dot effectively changes the resistance of the secondary circuit, resulting in a measurable change in current. This system is so sensitive that it can detect a single electron moving from one dot to the next, hence it represents the absolute pinnacle in current measurement sensitivity.
If your current job involves building a new ultra sensitive ammeter for Agilent then don't quit just yet. Although this ammeter is incredibly sensitive to low currents, I don't think it scales well to higher currents so it is only good for, well, measuring the properties of quantum dots and other really small and marvelous quantum devices. In fact, this is why the researchers built it; the more interesting (to me anyway) part of the paper was their description of the statistics of electron flow through the system, which looks remarkably like some optical systems.

Time to unleash 10GW of untapped farm wind potential?
Posted by admin in Members News.
Brett Pingree, Endurance Wind Power
With 20% of the UK's population living in rural areas, it's vital we find clean, sustainable ways to address the energy trilemma of rising energy costs, climate change and strains on security of supply within the rural economy.
For hundreds of years Britain's countryside has been defined by the activities of the people who live and work on the land. Environmental stewardship is an integral quality of the country's culture and history. It is founded on an understanding of the countryside as living, working, and evolving along with its inhabitants.
Britain, along with much of the rest of the world, is facing the infamous energy "trilemma" of rising energy costs, climate change and strains on security of supply. With about 20% of our population living in rural areas, it's vital that we find clean, sustainable ways to address this trilemma within the rural economy.Wind power could continue to be one promising option.
Small and medium-scale wind turbines give anyone with a plot of land in a windy area the opportunity to generate power for their own use and as a source of additional income. It is for this reason that farm wind is so named: famers are ideal candidates for these turbines as they are landowners often running energy-intensive businesses with increasingly squeezed profit margins.
"Farm wind", as opposed to wind farms, is designed to be small, quiet and unobtrusive. While larger onshore wind farms comprise turbines up to 150 metres tall, farm wind turbines are smaller than standard pylons, and less than a quarter of the height of wind farm turbines.
Farm wind is also called "distributed" wind, as turbines of this scale do not form part of a large wind farm, but instead are typically single installations in rural locations up and down the country. Typically they power a single site, such as a farm, domestic property or business park, offsetting energy costs and generating new revenues that enable local businesses to thrive.
Wind is a valuable local resource and the biggest driver of acceptance for wind turbines is ownership. Farm wind is intended to be privately owned by local people, communities or businesses, rather than by energy companies seeking to make large returns. Enabling farm wind to flourish is about empowering individuals and communities, not about lining the pockets of developers with taxpayer money.
To provide an idea of the scale of this opportunity, research by the Farm Power Coalition shows there is at least 10GW of untapped renewable resource across UK farms – equivalent to more than three times the installed capacity of the proposed new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point C. Research by Farmers Weekly highlighted that 73% of farmers think that on-farm renewable energy should play a major part in meeting future energy needs in the UK.
In April 2010 the Government introduced the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) system, an incentive programme aimed at encouraging the deployment of small scale (up to 5MW) renewable electricity generation by communities, individuals and organisations in order to:
Empower people and give them a direct stake in the transition to a low carbon economy
Assist in public take-up of carbon reduction measures
Help develop local supply chains and drive down technology costs
Small and medium wind deployment achieves all of the above objectives.
These FiT payments, coupled with savings in electricity costs, contribute to the income earned with a wind turbine. For example, a 50kW turbine can produce over 200,000kWh in wind regimes of at least 6 metres per second. A return on investment is achieved within as little as 8-10 years. Payments are guaranteed for a term of 20 years from installation date and so the turbine will quickly become an appreciating asset.
Grid parity within grasp
Government is right to challenge industry to deliver on price reductions, but it also needs to recognise the sector has continually over-exceeded on cost cutting already. FIT payments have been reducing ahead of schedule accordingly. The FIT is doing all the things it was created to do – create volume to cut costs for consumers – and grid parity is within grasp.
The latest turbines from Endurance Wind Power are prime examples of this in practice. Its new 85kW E4660 wind turbine generates 35% more electricity than the previous model, despite being the same height and price as its predecessor. This 35% jump in productivity compensates for the 30% FIT degression that has taken place over the last 18 months. This means that despite drops in subsidy payments, installers still receive the same revenues they would have in 2012.
Going even further, Endurance's new X35 turbine, built at its West Midlands factory, is coming to market in September 2015 offering power generation within two pence of grid parity.
Even if farmers aren't able to afford the upfront cost of a turbine, or secure a loan, options such as asset-backed finance for landowners and joint venture schemes are available to provide access to the benefits of wind power. Alternatively, farmers can lease a small plot of land to earn a 20 year rental income from a turbine without the need for any significant upfront investment or risk.
Endurance is also pioneering new models for financing community wind to help rural communities mitigate rising energy costs. In summer 2014, it worked with the UK's biggest social crowd-funding platform, Trillion Fund, and installer Earthmill, to crowd-fund a five-turbine community project. The raise was oversubscribed and closed six weeks early, having hit the £1.25 million target and attracted more than 250 investors.
The team has now launched its second crowdsourcing scheme to fund 10 turbines in Yorkshire, allowing local residents to invest from as little as £50. Unlike developer-owned, large scale wind farms, the initiative means that local communities are able to reap financial rewards from small, single turbines, while supporting local businesses in the process.
Policy concerns
Given this progress, policy proposals such as the Conservative's moratorium on onshore wind are deeply concerning, and risk destabilising an industry that has continually over-delivered on cost cutting.
Halting the growth of onshore wind power would have various implications, both immediate and long-term, personal and collective. Not only will small and medium wind help to strengthen our rural economy, supporting farms, communities and rural businesses throughout the UK, but deployment of smaller wind turbines will also create green jobs and provide sustainable, renewable energy generation at a reasonable cost.
Wind power is a viable form of renewable energy in the UK; an alternative to fossil fuels, nuclear power and fracking. According to RenewableUK's latest industry report, the UK is now the sixth-largest wind power producer.
The UK is also a world leader in the manufacturing of small scale wind turbines. We are already close to grid parity and RenewableUK estimates that in the next ten years the small and medium wind industry could grow to employ over 10,000 people, deliver over £800 million of GVA (gross value add) to the UK economy and help save over 2.5 million tonnes of carbon.
Wind turbines are a reflection of our reliance on electrification, just as windmills are a symbol of the industrial revolution. Not everyone wants a wind turbine on their property, but there are many people who do want to invest in farm wind. It is crucial for the UK energy system that the future of onshore wind in the UK comes down to more than just a matter of policy maker taste.
About the author: Brett Pingree is Commercial Vice President of Endurance Wind Power. The company designs, manufactures and tests some of the most advanced wind turbines in the world, specialising in distributed "farm wind" (rather than wind farms). Endurance Wind Power is a Canadian company, incorporated in 2007.

Q: Unable to load embedded dependencies from the GAC I made an HttpModule that I'm adding to the GAC and then registering it in my web.config. I used Fody Costura to embed dependencies. The output in my bin folder consists of only one dll, one .config and one .pdb (Because all the dependencies are merged into that file.) My problem is that whenever I load the module from the GAC, it is unable to find the embeded dependencies. I have the following observations:

*

*Whenever my module is loaded from the /bin folder, everything works ok. I register the module as follows:

<modules>
  <add name="MyModule" type="MyNamespace.MyModule.Module, MyNamespace.MyModule"/>
</modules>

*

*When I load my module from the GAC, my module is unable to load dependencies. I get the following message:
Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
My module is loaded as follows:

<modules>
  <add name="MyModule" type="MyNamespace.MyModule.Module, MyNamespace.MyModule, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7d22d90bda7ffgab, processorArchitecture=MSIL"/>
</modules>

I'm thinking that my module does not know that the dependencies are within itself. Is there any way I can tell my module to load the dependencies from the merged dll? Or anyone that can point me in the right direction? I'm a little bit lost here. Thanks!

A: It seems that problem is related to Newtonsoft.Json itself.
These issues say that there is a problem with the same strong name of different Newtonsoft.Json versions:

*

*Newtonsoft.Json.dll release incompatible versions with same strong name #615

*Newtonsoft.Json.dll release incompatible versions with same strong name #1001
So, if there is one version is already installed in GAC and you try to install another one, it won't be installed.

Assemblies that have the same strong name should be identical.
Strong-Named Assemblies | MSDN

As the result, your application couldn't find required version of Newtonsoft.Json in GAC because it's not there.
If you could try to avoid using GAC, it should solve the problem.

Today was all about the senses, one of those days that will stay imprinted in our memories for a lifetime.
Sight — We were greeted on our way into the park by two groups of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep right next to the road. Usually you see them up on the mountainside but we guessed that the salt on the roadsides in the winter might have brought them down next to the road. One of the most overwhelming sights of all was seeing the steam come up from the snow covered hot springs on the Mammoth terraces. The trees and grasses next to the springs had ice covering them from the steam that froze onto on every branch and needle; it was hauntingly beautiful. We saw thermophiles, bacteria that live in the hot springs and are different colors based on what the temperature of the spring is, each different bacteria having a different color. Seeing a salmon-colored sunset over a snow covered plain was awe-inspiring this evening, especially with bison silhouetted against the background of a colorful twilight sky.
Smell — The smell of sulfur at the hot springs is one you would think would be rank, but it isn't at all when it blends in with this environment. The cold air smelled crisp, light and fresh. Coming back to our hotel after an afternoon in the cold made the fire in the fireplace smell warm and inviting.
Sound — The sound today was a crunch crunch as we walked over the snow. At the hot springs you could hear the bubbling of the water as it emerged from the ground. The peeping of a Townsend's Solitaire (related to robins and bluebirds) from the top of a dead tree ended a great visit to the terraces. Silence, a total silence, was the loudest thing we heard all day and was a welcome contrast to the swishing of our ski pants.
Touch — The cold on our faces was refreshing and since there wasn't really any wind, it felt good, not harsh at all. Holding our hands over the hot springs (not touching them) warmed the cold tips of our fingers. Some of us were lying on the ground taking photos and we could feel the heat through the ground warming us.
Taste — A bit of dry snow in the mouth was really cold but the warm goat cheese at lunch was terrific! Some of use experienced wild game chili, bison tacos and an elk burger. Not your average lunch room fare!
How cold was the weather yesterday in Yellowstone??
How deep is the snow in Yellowstone now?
How do the hot springs stay hot?
Hey guys! Great questions! Iam looking forward to hearing about all of your research when I get back. We saw more wolves today, 15! We are going down to old faithful tomorrow and I am very excited! Take care and see you Wednesday!
The high yesterday was around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The low was about 6 degrees. Pretty chills, especially in the shade!
There has been less snow this year than most years. Right now there is only a couple inches here at Mammoth and about 17 inches where we went snowshoeing in Silver Gate.
The hot water in the springs is heated by the magma chamber deep underground and isn't affected by the surface temperature.
It seems so amazing… like a whole new world in Yellowstone! What is the tallest mountain called in Yellowstone?
The tallest mountain in Yellowstone is Eagle Peak at 11,358 ft. It's located in the southern half of the park, near the east boundary.

Syrian Refugees To Arrive in Texas Despite Governor's Lawsuit
Haley Sweetland Edwards @haleybureau
A legal standoff will not stop the ongoing resettlement
Three Syrian refugee families—including a dozen children between the ages of two and 15—will arrive in Dallas and Houston this week, despite Texas's on-going lawsuit challenging the federal government's process in resettling Syrian refugees in the state.
The Obama administration said in a court filing on Friday that a family of six Syrian refugees, who were originally scheduled to arrive in Dallas on Dec. 4 , will now arrive Monday, after spending the weekend in New York. A second family of six is also expected to arrive in Houston Monday. A third, eight-member family, as well as a 26-year-old woman whose mother has already been placed in the area, are expected in arrive in Houston on Thursday.
Last week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, with the backing of Governor Greg Abbott, filed a lawsuit requesting an immediate order blocking the arrival of all new Syrian refugeesin the state, in light of "reasonable concerns about the safety and security of the citizenry of the state of Texas."
Two days later, on Dec. 4, Paxton's office said it would no longer seek an immediate order blocking the arrival of the refugees, but said it would continue with the lawsuit pressing federal authorities to provide more information on those already slated for resettlement in Texas. Paxton rolled back his initial demand after federal authorities provided state officials with demographic information about the Syrian families arriving today, according to his office.
The shift, however, which came just hours before a federal judge was expected to rule on the case, did not sit well with some Texas conservatives. Abbott's office remained quiet about the decision, which one Texas official told TIME was "not the governor's first choice." Abbott has since said publicly that he opposes accepting any more Syrian refugees on the grounds that the background check process is "inadequate."
Katherine Wise, a spokeswoman for Paxton, told TIME that the attorney general's office will continue to pursue a lawsuit against both the federal government and the International Rescue Committee, a non-profit that works to resettle refugees, to determine whether federal authorities are complying with the requirements under the 1980 Refugee Act. The state argues that the law requires federal authorities to regularly consult with, and provide information to, state and local officials in advance of resettling refugees in those localities.

Colloidal Silver Oral Spray, 50ml
Brand: Life Choice
Life Choice Colloidal Silver Homeopathic Oral Spray 2 oz. is a clever combination of a time-tested antiseptic and disinfectant with a homeopathic method of preparation, producing an excellent remedy against bacterial infection and immune-boosting. Silver, used here in colloidal form, is becoming increasingly important in the medical world; and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth maintains a Royal Homeopath to this day.
Silver has a long tradition as an antiseptic. In fact, the expression "born with a silver spoon in his mouth", so the story goes, came about because the wealthy gave their children silver eating utensils and toys, such as teething rings and rattles, specifically to ward off disease. Considering what sanitation facilities were like in those times, this is likely more fact than legend. And doctors for many years gave newborn infants eye drops of silver solution at birth, to prevent infection. In colloid (suspended in water, not dissolved) form, silver ions are bioactive, and prevent bacteria from forming the chemical bonds they need in order to multiply. Consistently, studies have shown that silver has a well-deserved reputation.
Silver's importance in medical applications is increasing of late, due to the upsurge in antibiotic-resistant bacteria: even wound dressings are incorporating silver to protect against such infections, which are now rampant throughout our hospitals. Supportive studies are showing that silver ions are highly effective against bacterial infections, including the resistant ones. Silver also kills bacteria in external wounds in living tissue, and therefore physicians use wound dressings containing silver sulfadiazine (Ag-SD) to treat external infections. In addition, silver is used in medical applications, such as urinary catheters and endotracheal breathing tubes, where the silver content is effective in reducing incidences of catheter-related urinary tract infections and ventilator-associated pneumonia, respectively. Silver is also used in bone prostheses, reconstructive orthopedic surgery and cardiac devices, as well as on surfaces and fabrics to reduce the spread of infection.
Concerns of health authorities regarding consumption of colloidal silver are ably answered here, with this homeopathically-prepared colloidal silver formulation. Homeopathy, which is a therapeutic method using micro-doses (parts per million) of natural substances from plants, animals, and minerals, has never raised safety issues due to the extreme dilution of the remedies; such micro-doses are used in order to stimulate the body's natural mechanisms to protect and heal itself. Using the principle of "Similia Similibus Curentur" ("Like cures like"), homeopathy therefore works at the sub-molecular level to re-establish this exceptional potential present in us all.
Life Choice Colloidal Silver Homeopathic Oral Spray combines two technologies to deliver the effective anti-bacterial qualities of silver ions in a safe, easy-to-take spray mist. Its homeopathic nature makes it helpful to the body's ability to fight infection anywhere in the body, as it provides a gentle "reminder" to the immune system to heal itself, spritz by spritz.

DL-Phenylalanine, 500mg/60 caps
DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) is an essential amino acid, meaning the body produces it naturally from the diet. All proteins in the body are made from amino acids, which is why amino acids are often referred to as the "building blocks" of proteins. Phenylalanine is one of the eight amino acids indispensable in the diet of man.

DMAE-Lights On!, 60 Capsules
D.M.A.E. (dimethylaminoethanol) is normally present in small amounts in our brains. When supplemental amounts are used, DMAE is known for its brain function enhancements. It is a naturally occurring nutrient found in seafood, such as anchovies and sardines–just like the old saying that fish is brain food.
DMSO Gel, 100g
DMSO has many uses, but it is known mostly as a natural pain killer and transporter. First synthesized in 1866, DMSO is a sulfur-containing organic compound that is derived from MSM, and according to Dr. Morton Walker's book DMSO: Nature's Healer, it can be used internally or externally. As per our label claim, we only advise external usage. DMSO can aid injuries such as sprained ankles, sore muscles and joints, and even fractures. The process starts when DMSO enters the bloodstream by osmosis through capillary walls. Then, DMSO is distributed throughout the circulatory system.

L-Glycine, 750mg/90 caps
L-Glycine is optimal for treating issues such as muscular dystrophy and manic depression. Glycine is the simplest nonessential amino acid. It is called glycine because it resembles the sweet taste of glucose (blood sugar) and glycogen (liver starch). Glycine is necessary for optimum growth and for creatine synthesis. As creatine is a compound that is present in muscle tissue and is utilized in the construction of RNA and DNA, it is conceivable that under some conditions, glycine might become essential in humans.
L-Tryptophan, 220+50mg B-6/60 caps
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, used by the brain to produce serotonin, a necessary neurotransmitter which transfers nerve impulses from cell to cell, and is responsible for normal sleep.

ART BASEL DIARY #1
Art Basel has been taking over Miami Beach since 2002 with its extravagant exhibitions and events, making it a go-to destination for art and culture lovers everywhere. The fair boasts art from North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia by incorporating new and well-known artists pieces together. The show's goal of promoting Modern and contemporary artists' work and practices' infiltrates the crowds with fun, emotional, and challenging pieces, all available for purchase.
While the shows are not free to attend, they are definitely worth the time and money. If you're lucky, you might even get to brush shoulders with some of the greats (like TWELV did with architect Jacques Herzog of Herzog and De Meuron)!
On TWELV's first day of Art Basel, we decided that Colette's pop up store would be our first destination. As big fans of the shop in Paris, we knew we would not be disappointed. Upon arrival at the "drive thru" located on the 5th floor of a parking garage, we were greeted by pretty girls on roller skates, identifying the iPads where we could purchase exclusive Art Basel merchandise made exclusively for the event by artists like Damien Hirst, Pharrel Williams, and Takashi Murakami. The pop up was co-sponsored by the Alchemist store, a Lincoln Road landmark of designer clothing and accessories, situated next door to Colette, allowing attendees to admire Chrome Hearts, Saint Laurent, and Christian Dior merchandise indicative of the Colette in Paris.
After visiting Colette and spending some much needed R&R on the beach, we headed to Juvia for a luxurious rooftop dinner overlooking Ocean Drive. After having the best lychee martini ever, we headed to the Bass Museum of Art to indulge in a little more art appreciation.
The museum was packed with people, enjoying the collections inside and sipping champagne outside on the patio. The main show featured work by Piotr Uklański entitled ESL, identified the Polish artist's journey as an immigrant in America and what it was like having "English as a Second Language". The pieces were defined by tie-dye, embroidery, and embellishments on many different mediums including film, photographs, paintings, paper reliefs, and installation pieces.
That's all for today, dear readers; check back tomorrow to read more about TWELV's adventures in Miami Beach!
