The Undercover Soundtrack – Orna Ross
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on June 11, 2014
'Oceans of silence beneath the words'
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative environment – perhaps to connect with a character, populate a mysterious place, or hold a moment still to explore its depths. This week my guest is novelist, poet and founder of the Alliance of Independent Authors Orna Ross @OrnaRoss
Soundtrack by Stephen Foster, Mary Black, Emmylou Harris, Karen Matheson, Rod Paterson, Rufus Wainwright, Steven and Peter Jones, Cyndi Lauper, The Eagles, Ronald Binge, BBC Shipping Forecast, The Pogues, Leonard Cohen, Jimmy MacCarthy
Music has always been part of my life, mostly as an appreciator. I did play piano for some years but what was more influential in terms of writing — and particularly these two novels I'm going to discuss here — was being brought up in a singing-and-storytelling culture. I grew up in a pub and my own social life, from my teens, centred round the pub where Saturday and Sunday were sing-song nights. Occasionally it was establish-provided entertainment for the punters to consume, but more often it was the customers themselves who created the night. That's what defines an Irish bar for me and explains why a good one is in demand the world over: on a proper Irish night out, everybody takes responsibility for everybody else's good time.
The tracks that underlie the writing of After The Rising and Before The Fall, my first two novels which I'm just about to reissue in a 2-for-the-price-of-1 special offer this summer, are all songs. What I found in putting together this undercover soundtrack was that it very much isn't a Desert Island Discs lineup of favourite music. A few of these songs I do love but what unites them is that they convey some of the emotional texture of the novels and of my relationship to the time-and-place in which the novels are set: early 20th century Ireland and late 20th century San Francisco.
These were my first novels, and together they form a linked, cross-generational family murder mystery. The story opens with a young soldier, lured to dangerous sinking sands during the Irish Civil War of 1922 and this unresolved killing — who did it and why? — is causing chaos for our heroine, Jo Devereux, 50 years on.
At the time of writing, I was living in a very English market town, Knutsford, in Cheshire. I was nostalgic for both Ireland and California and that nostalgia fuelled the books, and this soundtrack is redolent with it too.
One of the first thing that happens Irish people when they emigrate is that they find themselves listening to songs they would never spend time with at home. For me, I'd always avoided ballads and laments that kept alive the sense of loss and grievance that had erupted in 1916 and led to the independence war of 1921 and its aftermath — yet that was the very background that I couldn't escape when I came to write fiction.
'Hard times!' my great-aunt who lived with us, used to say whenever conversation came anywhere near that past, a shorthand expression, was always delivered with a shake of the head. The killing of her brother by his best friend in the 'War of The Brothers', the Irish Civil War of 1922/3, was the event on which my novels were based (I couldn't find out the truth of what happened so made up a 500-page story instead). 'Hard times!' was her explanation and excuse and a closing of the door on emotion that just couldn't be expressed. I think of her whenever I hear this song, Hard Times Come Again No More, (by Stephen Foster, the American writer of Oh! Susanna, and Camptown Races and more than 200 other well-known songs): sung here by Mary Black, Emmylou Harris, Karen Matheson, Rod Paterson and Rufus Wainwright.
Kilkelly, Ireland, by Steven and Peter Jones, is another song that reminds me of her. It tells the story of an Irish emigrant to America through a series of letters from his father back in Kilkelly. The Jones brothers based the song on letters from their great-great-grandfather to his son John, who was illiterate and dictated the letters to the local schoolmaster, Patrick McNamara, a friend of John's before he left. It's what's known in Ireland as a lament, (cumha in Irish), part of a web of interwoven customs that ritualised longing and loss — maybe as a result of colonisation, maybe something much older. Its cross-generational tale of emigration is told much more concisely than mine and its rhythm and cadence is just how the older generation spoke when I was growing up, oceans of silence beneath their few words. I can't listen to it without being deeply moved
The research for the book showed that 'The War of the Brothers' was very much about the sisters too but Jo rejects entirely the weight of this burdensome history. She leaves Ireland for the same reason shared by countless thousands of other Irish women, intending never to return, and once she shakes off her homesickness she finds herself in 1980s San Francisco, where her anthem, like Cyndi Lauper's, is Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and that great gay anthem from the musical La Cage aux Folles, that meant so much at that time to to so many of my friends in the LGBTQ community, I Am What I Am, by disco queen Gloria Gaynor.
I enjoy writing emotional twists and surprises around big themes and in these books the themes are national and sexual identity; family loyalty versus personal autonomy. And gender. We're all seeded by man and born of woman and we all embody 'male' and 'female' characteristics. How these play out, in an individual life, and in different societies, is endlessly fascinating to me and fully teased out in these novels.
What Jo finds, of course, is that running away is not the answer. The song that best captures her dilemma, both the dream of a better place… and the dangers of that dream, is The Eagles's The Last Resort. Jo finds she's not free to go forward until she goes back to Ireland and understands that place that made her.
So she does, and settles in a ramshackle shed in the seaside village where she grew up, intending to find out and understand her family history. The books are full of descriptions of the Atlantic Ocean and the song that always surfaces when I think of that sea is Sailing By by Ronald Binge, the music that cues the BBC's late-night shipping forecast on Radio 4. I remember lying in bed listening to it as a child, the strange names — German Bight, Boomer, Dogger Bank, Lundy, Fastnet, Irish sea — and the weather promised — rain, wintry showers, sometimes moderate or poor, becoming good — were poetry to me.
I felt a bit foolish about this until I read one of my favourite Carol Ann Duffy poems, the beautiful Prayer. I was delighted when searching for Sailing By to find this version that also includes a televised shipping forecast from Laurie McMillan as part of an Arena Radio Night in 1993. And has a collection of stunning footage, presumably from BBC archives. Binge's music is easy listening but underneath its sweetness I sense again that sense of longing felt by all the characters in these books — and that I used to feel myself for the sea in my land-locked days in Knutsford.
Another seafaring and emigration song, Thousands Are Sailing by The Pogues, ties the economic migration that Jo was part of, that of the 1980s with its Green Card Lotteries to the post famine exodus in the mid-19th century that led to the independence war, not least because it was funded by US dollars. Those words really capture something about the Irish in America that I want to tease out more in the sequel I'm writing, the third part of this story, In The Hour, set in NYC. Thousands Are Sailing tips its hat to Mr Cohan. It's actually George M. Cohan, 'The Man Who Owned Broadway' but for a long time I thought it was Mr Cohen, the great Leonard and I want to include his Bird On A Wire , the three opening and closing lines of which were famously claimed by Kris Kristofferson as his epitaph. Cohen himself described the song as 'a Bohemian My Way, and that's why it's here. After The Rising & Before The Fall share this theme that's found across all my writing, of 'Be yourself. Everyone else is taken'. That's what Jo has to learn, that's what connects her personal and familial quest. Early 20th-century Ireland, late 20th-century San Francisco were connected by the same impulse: the desire to free the human spirit from suppression,
Except true freedom can't be delivered by politics, it's the terrain of the creative spirit itself. My own political arguments have not been around nation but gender and in this week where we hear of yet another atrocity arising from religious suppression, I am grateful again to a song that celebrates what remains great in Christianity, by going beyond it. One Bright Blue Rose, a piece of pure poetry by a great contemporary songwriter, Jimmy MacCarthy (the lyrics are here), sung by Mary Black in her heyday, is full of Christian imagery of the better kind and always brings me beyond anger, back to a truer, better impulse, the one to which I've devoted my writing life, not just in these novels, but also in the work for the indie-author movement, and in my current non-fiction series, the Go Creative! Books. That's how I try, in Cohen's words, 'to be free'. And to foster freedom for others.

Most states, but not all, permit criminal defendants to plead insanity and escape the full punishment of the law on the grounds that they did not know right from wrong at the time of the crime.
Kansas, however, says defendants may cite a "mental disease or defect" as a partial defense, but they may be found guilty nonetheless if they intended to commit a violent crime.
Similarly, all but two states — Louisiana and Oregon — require unanimous jury verdicts in criminal cases.
The justices said Monday that they would hear appeals from convicted murderers in Kansas and Louisiana who contend their convictions were unconstitutional.
Voting to hear claims from convicted criminals may seem somewhat surprising for a more conservative high court. But it may be in keeping with another recent ruling that clarified that other constitutional rights should apply to all states.
Last month, the justices resolved a similar dispute by ruling the 8th Amendment protects Americans from "excessive fines" imposed by states and local governments, including the seizure of a $42,000 Land Rover for a $385 drug crime. In that case, Timbs vs. Indiana, the court — prodded by new Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh — said the time had passed for states to argue that they did not have to abide by all parts of the Bill of Rights.
The 6th Amendment protects the "right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury." And for most of American history, this has been understood to require a jury verdict of guilt based on an unanimous vote.
In 1972, the Supreme Court took up the issue in an Oregon case, but issued a splintered 4-1-4 decision. The result was that juries in federal courts must be unanimous to impose guilt, but states such as Oregon and Louisiana were free to uphold jury verdicts that were less than unanimous.
In 2016, Evangelisto Ramos was convicted on 10-2 jury verdict of murdering a suspected prostitute in New Orleans. His appeal argued that Louisiana's rule allowing non-unanimous jury verdicts was adopted in 1898 for racist reasons, and it should be overturned. The state's attorneys urged the court to deny the appeal and noted that the state's voters approved requiring unanimous verdicts beginning this year. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court said it would hear Ramos vs. Louisiana in the fall to decide whether unanimous jury verdicts will be a constitutional rule nationwide.
His appeal in Kahler vs. Kansas argues that the insanity defense is a fundamental aspect of American justice and cannot be restricted or abolished by the states.
The Supreme Court later put new limits on life prison terms for those who commit murders as a juvenile, and the court in Mathena vs. Malvo will decide whether those rulings apply retroactively to those already serving life terms. If Malvo prevails, he will get a new sentencing hearing.

Q: SQL Query: I need both rows if values exist I have an accounting situation where we're both paid (policy Transaction Type NBS) and negative (policy Transaction Type cancellation or XLN) on the same accounting situation. I need rows that only have both Tran Type of 'NBS' and 'XLN' for the same customer.
Example Data:
    Client     PolicyNo  Revenue   TranType
   -------------------------------------------
    John Doe   Pol1234   1000.00     NBS
    John Doe   Pol1234  -1000.00     XLN
    Jane Loe   Pol5675   9000.00     NBS
    Jane Loe   Pol5676   8000.00     NBS
    Bill Foe   Pol0985   1000.00     NBS
    Bill Foe   Pol0987  -1000.00     XLN

The query needs to only return the first two rows as both Client and PolicyNo match but also because each one is NBS and XLN. If both lines for the same customer are NBS or they are both XLN it needs to be excluded. If the PolicyNo does not match it needs to be excluded.
Right now, my query returns the full set. (I omitted some columns from my example above for simplicity.
SELECT
Company_1.Name,
isnull(Customer.FirmNameCust,
isnull(Customer.FirstName + ' ', '') +  isnull(Customer.LastName, '')) AS Client,
BasicPolInfo.PolNo,
DirectBillEntryHeader.StmtDate,

DirectBillEntryDetail.*
FROM DirectBillEntryHeader
INNER JOIN
DirectBillEntryDetail
ON DirectBillEntryHeader.DBEHId = DirectBillEntryDetail.DBEHId
INNER JOIN BasicPolInfo
ON DirectBillEntryDetail.PolId = BasicPolInfo.PolId
INNER JOIN Customer
ON DirectBillEntryDetail.CustId = Customer.CustId
AND BasicPolInfo.CustId = Customer.CustId
INNER JOIN Company
ON DirectBillEntryDetail.WritingCoCode = Company.CoCode
INNER JOIN Employee
ON Customer.Prod1Code = Employee.EmpCode
INNER JOIN Company Company_1
ON Company.ParentCoCode = Company_1.CoCode
       WHERE (DirectBillEntryDetail.TranType = 'NBS')
       AND (DirectBillEntryHeader.StmtDate >= DateAdd(DD, - 30, GETDATE()))
       OR (DirectBillEntryDetail.TranType = 'XLN')
       AND (DirectBillEntryHeader.StmtDate >= DateAdd(DD, - 30, GETDATE()))

A: You could use  EXISTS:
SELECT t1.*
FROM dbo.TableName t1
WHERE t1.TranType IN('NBS','XLN')
AND EXISTS
(
    SELECT 1 FROM dbo.TableName t2
    WHERE t1.Client = t2.Client
      AND t1.PolicyNo = t2.PolicyNo
      AND t1.TranType <> t2.TranType
      AND t2.TranType IN('NBS','XLN')
 )

A: Find all client/policies that have both types by use of GROUP BY and HAVING. Then use this in your from clause so you get only those client/policies.
select ...
from
(
    select client, policyno
    from mytable
    where trantype in ('NBS','XLN')
    group by client, policyno
    having count(distinct trantype) = 2
) wanted
inner join sometable on sometable.client = wanted.client and sometable.policyno = wanted.policyno

Q: How did the Goa'uld become spacefaring? It is often stated throughout the Stargate series that the Goa'uld are more technologically advanced, however, during the SG-1 episode "Pretense" (3.15), it is stated that the Goa'uld did not invent their technologies, but rather they assimilate them from the civilizations they take as host.
We know that the Goa'uld's original hosts were the evolved Unas, although we only see the primitive Unas, the "un-Goa'ulded" ones. IIRC, there was a distinction, and the evolved Unas were the ones taken as hosts.
Eventually, the Goa'uld take humans as hosts. The only way that could happen, and the way that's implied in the show, is that the Goa'uld traveled to Earth and abducted humans. This implies that the Goa'uld had space travel (and probably not just stargate travel), possibly the evolved Unas' space travel technology.
Is this accurate? Did the Goa'uld take over a technologically advanced Unas race and then trade Unas for humans? Were the full origins of the Goa'uld ever described in the Stargate series canon?

A: In SG1: The First Ones, Daniel postulates that the Ancients left a Stargate on the joint Goa'uld/Unas homeworld and that the Goa'uld, in Unas bodies, learned to operate that gate, possibly through the same trial-and-error process that allowed Ernest Littlefield to travel to Heliopolis.
With the capacity to travel to other inhabited worlds in the gate system, it was only a matter of time before they encountered a species that had space travel that they could either occupy or simply steal from.

DANIEL: Obviously the Unas who were taken over must have figured out how to work the Stargate and left, but…why not all of them?

A: You would have to imagine probably more than a few technologically advanced species and systems were overrun by the snakes in their first few centuries of expansion. It just so happens humans were the BEST fit biologically. But with the ability to surreptitiously take over host and immediately know everything they know, it could have been any unlucky spacefaring (or gate traveling) species to land on Gao'uld Prime and get too close to the water.. Now they have ships, computers, weapons, opposable thumbs, fine motors skills, their memories, intelligence. and there goes the neighborhood. The same scenario almost happens to earth several times.
It's never shown in an episode (so I can't make it an answer) but their species likely went from swimming in a pond and jumping into the occasional Unas to flying around in spaceships and taking over worlds in the same day. This gets them out the door and makes them a minor power, but their real GALACTIC expansion likely happens when they encounter Ancient tech, find highly compatible humans, and can credibly take and hold power. The sarcophagus is what made them evil and megalomaniacal in the first place, and that was just ancient tech that worked on human physiology but happened to create problems for the Gao'uld. For all we know the first ones were benevolent symbiotes like the Tok'ra until encountering and using this life-prolonging tech.
The species (if there were any) that got overran in their 'escape' just weren't as good a fit, they took their knowledge and tech and then were done with them. Or they became the Furlings, who knows. But it was never shown on the TV Show, e.g: "described in series canon". Or maybe they were originally a bio-weapon designed by the ancients to return to Pegasus and infiltrate and destroy the Wraith, maybe we'll find out when they air the newest episodes of SG1 and Atlantis this Friday night!

A: The narrative never explicitly states how.
An explanation might be that the Goa'uld encountered an as of yet unseen race (perhaps even the Furlings, a group who were frequently mentioned throughout the series) that possessed FTL (faster than light) technology that was substantially different than that possessed by either The Ancients or the Asgard. This is best exhibited by the fact that Goa'uld Ha'taks and Al'Kesh vessels were inferior to what the former races were able to field.
The Goa'uld must have possessed that race (or those races), adapted their technology as their own, and then decided that to maintain their purported "godhood" that they could not have their technology advance as that would indicate that they were not "divine beings", but only an advanced race. This must have occurred before the events of the 1994 film, as they clearly had FTL travel capabilities at that time, as well as understanding the Stargate system's operation.
Another possible source of technological advancement might have been the race whose ruined world was seen in the episode "There But For The Grace of God". That race was clearly far more advanced than the Goa'uld as exhibited by their invention of the quantum mirror which allowed for travel between alternate universes. There's a sign on the planet that T'ealc interprets as meaning the surface is highly radioactive. The reason for this is implied that it was attacked by another race, perhaps even the Goa'uld themselves. This race is never shown, although the mirror itself plays a role in three other episodes during the series run.
Finally, it's clear that from the episode that had Reese (a human form replicator android) that multiple human and humanoid races possessed advanced technology but had limited or no encounters with the Goa'uld. It's possible that through trade or scavenging and reverse engineering crashed or derelict spacecraft, the Goa'uld could have adopted FTL capabilities which thus allowed them to spread further throughout the galaxy.

A: The fact that the Goa'uld home world has a stargate implies that ancient technologically advanced humans travelled there at least once.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that at least one of those ancient humans became a host, whether by accident (got too close to the water), voluntarily (in an effort to communicate with the Unas), or forcefully by an Unas host.
Goa'uld larvae inherit memory genetically from the queen and have access to the memory of their hosts. The Tok'ra share control of the body as well as their knowledge/memories with their hosts, but the Goa'uld do not like to share.
We know that the Tok'ra and Goa'uld developed these ideological disagreements while blended with humans, and those two symbiotes are the parents of all Tok'ra and Goa'uld outside of the Goa'uld home world. This is either because they were the first two blended humans, or because they killed off any others.
The fact that the Goa'uld home world is still primitive suggests that the "evolved Unas" did not evolve on their home world. It is far more likely that they were brought off-world by ancient humans (blended or not) and civilized later.
What I don't understand is how the ancient humans could have fled to the Milkyway, after losing a war to the Wraith and not set up precautions against this sort of thing, preventing a Goa'uld takeover from ever starting. Humans must have gotten cataclysmically dumber between the generations that were culled by the Wraith and the generations that were enslaved by the Goa'uld. I imagine this period of time would play out like the events in the movie "Idiocracy".

A: Season 2 episode 6 Sam Carter has the ability to use Goa'uld technology on the basis that she once had a Tok'ra within her.
This means the technology the Goa'uld use are tailored specifically to them in someway.
We can deduce from this that the Goa'uld have the capacity to at least reverse engineer the technology they use, or the technology they use would not be exclusive in use to them.
It is likely the Goa'uld have managed to learn how to engineer the technology they use from the hosts they've taken. Whether they can reproduce any is up for debate.

A: In my view (as a writer that is only working as a programmer until her book is published but never has time to write because she is programming LOL) based on the events of the episode called "Frozen" the Ancients must have known of the Goa'uld ability to merge with the Unas and the benefits in cognitive, health and longevity of such symbiosis.
Knowing this and being decimated by a tremendous pandemic, some of them may have tried experiments with human/Goa'uld mergings.  We do know that a symbiote was able to "easily" cure Jack O'Neill from the ancient virus, so why could they not do the same and even better for the ancients?  Ancients with their very advanced mentalities must not have been at risk of a Goa'uld hijacking their bodies and they would have possibly been able to eject the symbiote, but what if there were one or some exceptions? What if when the Ancients discovered how to ascend and did so, in essence vacating our galaxy of human-like Ancients, some human/Goa'uld hybrids remained?
The Goa'uld rely on hosts (Unas or Human) to be able to interact with their environment outside their liquid-based breeding bases. The Ancients who were secretly affected by their symbiote, and therefore not able to ascend (this is what happened to Anubis) might have triggered the second evolution of man. They might have used the device later used to destroy the replicators, in order to have human stock to migrate to or to enslave. Once the second evolution of humans achieve a level of consciousness similar to but less than the Ancients, the human/Goa'uld mergings favored the Goa'uld mind surprising the not as advanced host.
In this scenario, you have some of the Ancient knowledge glimpsed by the symbiote - not purposely shared by the host - passed on to new generations of Goa'uld. (Their children are born with the mother's memories genetically encoded.) Therefore they would be able to subjugate the new human race and expand thru the galaxy.
This theory may sound like is way out there but consider that it is how the Atlanteans screwed up in the Pegasus galaxy by accidentally creating the Wraith by merging spider DNA with Ancient DNA!

A few nights ago, hundreds of New Yorkers filled the pews of Brown Memorial Baptist Church in Brooklyn. They came to hear basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson and other community leaders talk about HIV in the black community. The evening, sponsored by Abbott Laboratories, was part of a nationwide campaign called "I Stand by Magic: Campaign to End Black AIDS." The grassroots campaign aims to reduce the rate of new HIV infections in the African-American community by 50 percent over five years (Brooklyn's HIV-positive population is believed to be about the same as the combined caseload of 45 states). Front man Magic tours the country, talking to groups like the one filling the church, encouraging them to get tested, to protect themselves and, if they are already HIV positive, to get care and treatment and to stick with it.

A few nights ago, hundreds of New Yorkers filled the pews of BrownMemorial Baptist Church in Brooklyn. They came to hear basketballlegend Earvin "Magic" Johnson and other community leaders talk aboutHIV in the black community. The evening, sponsored by AbbottLaboratories, was part of a nationwide campaign called "I Stand By Magic: Campaign to End Black AIDS."The grassroots campaign aims to reduce the rate of new HIV infectionsin the African-American community by 50 percent over five years(Brooklyn's HIV-positive population is believed to be about the same asthe combined caseload of 45 states). Front man Magic tours the country,talking to groups like the one filling the church, encouraging them toget tested, to protect themselves and, if they are already HIVpositive, to get care and treatment and to stick with it.
Whilethe crowd awaited the arrival of the NBA star, a range of speakersriveted the audience with personal stories of how their lives have beentouched directly or indirectly by HIV.
Shadé Ogunleye, MissBlack New York, came to the podium wearing her sparkling crown andrecounted a list of questions posed to her by the New York Citystudents she's met on school visits: Is there a cure for AIDS? How do Iknow if my boyfriend has HIV? How can I get tested without my parentsknowing? "These [questions] are the results of abstinence-onlyeducation," she told the crowd.
"Just one short year ago,"Ogunleye went on, "I believed that AIDS only happened to gay men, [IV]drug users or African children. I never thought about it in terms of myfamily, my friends or myself. But after meeting my [college] roommate,who lost her parents to AIDS, I realized that it can happen to anyone."
Otherspeakers included Shirlene Cooper, deputy director of the New York AIDSHousing Network, and Dierdre Wallace-Hines, advocacy relations managerat Abbott. They discussed the problems of accessing quality HIV careand the stigma surrounding AIDS, as well as the importance of safer sexand getting tested. Many in the audience scribbled down notes andsnapped photos with their cell phones. "Just being here is a huge firststep—even if you are here to see Mr. Johnson," Helena Kwakwa, MD, toldthem. "Learn one, do one, teach one. Take the information you learnhere today and teach someone in your life about it."
Then, Magicentered the church. The audience leapt to its feet, applauding wildlyas he offered his famous smile—greeting people warmly and patientlyposing for cameras. Rather than speaking from the podium like the otherspeakers, he walked through the aisles of the church speaking directlyto the people he passed and making a special point of addressing peopleliving with HIV.
Magic urged positive people to take care ofthemselves, physically and emotionally. "Do your part; take yourmedicine and have the attitude 'I am going to be here for a long time,'" he said. He also urged them not to pay any mind to what other peoplethink about them and their HIV status. "If they don't want to love, hugor high-five you, so what? Get you another friend! Because if you aregood with the man upstairs, then that is all that matters."
Hedebunked the myths that he had been cured or was on special treatment,saying he'd had access to the same drugs as his audience andemphasizing how his attitude, and the support of his wife Cookie,helped him stay well. He told the story of how—nearly three years afterhis diagnosis—he was lying around moping on the couch. "Cookie told meto get out," he said. "I asked, 'Get out the room? Or get out thehouse?' and Cookie said 'Get out of the house and don't come back untilyou're ready to be the man I married.' "
Magic concluded histalk by answering some questions before heading out to another meetingin Brooklyn, with students at Medgar Evers College. (At the college, hewas met by a group of HIV activists—angry about the high prices ofAbbott meds in Thailand—who asked him to try to influence thepharmaceutical company into reconsidering its position on globalpricing. Magic said he would "talk to them.")
At the church, theaudience filed out to the accompaniment of church hymns sung by theHousing Works Gospel choir. Outside on the sidewalk they encountered aline of volunteers from Street Wise, a program of Planned Parenthood ofNew York, who offered complimentary condoms and free rapid HIV testingand counseling conducted in a white van at the corner. "Get tested!"one of the volunteers yelled. "Know your status today."

Q: When work is performed solely by magnetism, is there an equivalent loss of energy from the magnetic field? When two magnets are placed within appropriate proximity and released, the attractive force will perform work and bring them together.  Work is performed overcoming friction.  Can we measure a reduction in the total energy of the magnetic field?

A: Yes, if you can measure the energy stored in the magnetic field, you should find that it is reduced when two magnetic dipoles come together. By way of explanation: the potential energy of a pair of aligned, end-to-end, identical magnetic dipoles can be found using the equation in this Wikipedia article, plugging in $\vec{m}_j = \vec{m}_k = m\hat{z}$, $\vec{e}_{jk} = \hat{z}$, and $\vec{r}_{jk} = r\hat{z}$ to get
$$U = -\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi r^3}\bigl(3 (m)(m) - m^2\bigr) = -\frac{\mu_0 m^2}{2\pi r^3}$$
Here $r$ is the distance between the dipoles and $m$ is their dipole moment. This energy is stored in the dipoles' mutual magnetic field. As they get closer, the energy drops.
It's worth noting that the work done to bring these dipoles together is actually performed by the electric force, for real magnetic dipoles which consist of current loops.

A: From the statements offered I can only assume that we don't actually KNOW the answer.  If the magnetic field strength is reduced due to the work performed, either the magnet goes inert or the energy is replaced from somewhere else.  My original question was more of a conservation of energy thing and the answered must be "it must be magic".

As photography continue to gains popularity as one of the most pursued hobbies there is also a trend of people adopting it as their professional careers. These photographers often have humble beginnings in smartphone cameras which can, nowadays, rival even professional devices. This trend has resulted in the growth of the camera in industry as new enthusiasts keep on buying more cameras.
For entry level photographers, one of the most challenging dimensions of photography are portraits. Portraits require the mastery of camera flash, a feature which can change its properties and the end result according to your location and lighting. Thus, beginners struggle immensely with flash. For this challenge, Canon has a solution in the form of their new flash gun the Speedlite 470EX-AI.
Speedlite uses Artificial Intelligence to create the necessary settings for best quality flash results. AI Bounce, as it's called, uses the distance between the camera and the subject as well as the distance between the camera and the ceiling (bounced off flash light) to set the best possible angle to fire the flash.
Whilst aimed at beginners, this feature can be highly useful for veteran photographers who often change the direction of their camera during a single shoot project and need to rapidly adapt to changes in light or distance.

11/17/2016 Washington, D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on Sunday, November 13, Fulani militants, reportedly numbering 200, attacked four villages in the Kauru local area of Nigeria's Kaduna State. Over 34 predominately Christian villagers were murdered, including men, women, and children, some of whom were burnt beyond recognition. Approximately 100 houses and other properties, including churches, were also destroyed.
The names of the villages that were attacked are: Kitakum, Kigam, Angwan Rimi, Angwan Magaji and Angwan Makera. An estimated three to four thousand people have also been displaced following the attack. A military detachment arrived and engaged the militants. However, their arrival was late and much of the destruction had already occurred.
Hundreds of people have been killed by Fulani militants in the Nigerian central region also known as the Middle Belt. According to a report by World Watch Monitor, in the period between January 2013 and May 2016, 826 Christians were killed and 878 injured. There were also 102 churches destroyed or damaged, making the Fulani militant attacks one of the deadliest assaults on Christian communities in the world.

Fans first became captivated with Prince after watching his 1984 film "Purple Rain".
The enigmatic entertainer blended musical styles, broke down gender stereotypes and had a flamboyant sense of fashion. And now you can get up close and personal with pieces from The Purple One's life.
"This exhibition is called Prince from Minneapolis," said Brooks Peck, senior curator at The Museum of Pop Culture at the Seattle Center. "It was created by the Wiseman Art Museum in Minneapolis, and it is a photo show mostly all about Prince. All about Prince's his growth as an artist."
There is definitely a ton of purple, we'll say that! Peck took us on a little tour around the exhibition to see some of his favorites, like a cloud guitar created by a luthier named Andy Beech.
"[Beech] actually lives in the Northwest, in Bellingham," said Peck. "Prince loved this design - he had actually 34 of this model made in all different colors."
Another gem? A young, young, young Prince in his very first professional photo shoot.
"This is Prince at 19 years old," said Peck. "But in these pictures, I think you see this Prince that we rarely see ever again - he's just starting to experiment with like 'How am I as an artist? What do I look like?' I just really love the ones where he's smiling. I mean, later you never see him smile like this."
And there's more than Prince memorabilia here!
"Some of the really really surprising things for me are the artworks by other artists," said Beck. "Who are taking [an] image and they're interpreting it in their own way."
Like Troy Gua, a local artist whose work is also included in the exhibition.
"He creates these sort of miniature scenes, 3D scenes with - honestly I don't know what you'd call it - it's like a doll of Prince that he created," said Beck. "He was inspired by marionettes and he stages them, then he takes a picture. So he recreates some of the really iconic Prince moments."
There are also some...different pieces.
"Seed art!" said Peck. "Created by a women from the midwest who kind of pioneered creating these 2D artworks out of rice grains and timothy glass seeds and things like that."
There's also an art bicycle - or as some folks call it, rideable art. And yup, you guessed it - it's purple. From a Prince mural to a shirt he wore in the movie "Purple Rain", to the official Pantone Color named for him - there are nearly 50 artifacts to see. Peck hopes that people leave inspired.
"We're used to thinking of Prince as this flamboyant dramatic performer but behind the scenes it was all carefully thought out," he said. "And I think that story comes through and it's a cool story."

Professor Andrei Rode's team from the Laser Physics Centre at ANU have developed a laser beam that can move very small particles up to distances of a metre and a half using only the power of light.
Whilst the laser beam won't work in the vacuum of space, the breakthrough has many important uses on Earth, such as the assembly of micro machines and electronic components.
"When the small particles are trapped in this dark core very interesting things start to happen," said Rode.
Rode added there are a number of practical applications for this technology.


Fully dressed! Isn't that what they say about those wonderful touring bikes when they have every inch of chrome and are shined to the enth degree? Well ... Quinta de Luz is becoming fully dressed again. She's looking very pretty I think. More paint is required ... so I'm off to the paint shop to pick up another gallon.
My workers are down to a crew of two. Should be enough to finish. The second coat of pink is on the wall in the studio.

Dates : October 5 – November 4, 2007.
Sibiu :*.ARTLABS Centrala termică 3, Hala Balanța, X Future Gallery.
Luxembourg : Galeria Konschthaus beim Engel, LX5 Homebase.
Organizers : 2580 Association Cluj and absl Arscenic Luxemburg.
The European Union puts forward during 2007 two geographical areas as European Capitals of the Culture, Luxembourg and the surronding area, as well as Sibiu in Romania. These two places, one part of the European Community from the very beginning, and the other one on way to become it, are distant of almost 1700 km. The choice of these two entities reflects in our opinion the evolution of the European Union by promoting at the same time its past, but also its future.
Thus, it seems fundamental to us to highlight the last, the recent and to come process of European construction, as well as its "cultural and topographic landscape" by the means of art, and mainly, by that of the digital dimension, process which gain today more and more importance.
The new ways of communication cause major transformations in our societies, working out new forms of creation, mixing reality and virtuality, altering concepts like distance, temporality, space delimitation, and modifying in-depth the behavior of the individuals. Technologies develop the so difficult to carry out until now transdisciplinarity and generate innovative practices. In this way, the freedom of flow between the various media and the progressive obliteration of the borders between the artistic forms, can be compared with the curently being set up process of European Union.
The selected topic in order to better illustrate our remarks is that of landscape, understood as the image of a country seen from one perspective. By offering a panorama of the young European creation, by choosing works that highlight aspects of artists' existence, we try to offer a global vision of the present Europe.
It is question to lay out the space of 2007's Europe, expressed at the same time as a common territory, but also like juxtaposition of distinct elements, by taking as support the two "areas of confluence" represented by Luxembourg and Sibiu.
By connecting real spaces, by imagining new forms of representation, by attaching importance to the urban landscape, but also to its peripheries, the project "Areas of Conflu(x)ences" intends to offer a complex image of a reality which get going to be construct and which is in search of its global identity. It is about creating an exhibition with off-line and on-line works, linking up the three areas (Luxemburg, Sibiu and Internet) that will find themselves in a constant relation (interactive one not), by combining urban and peripheral spaces and by presenting projects of young European artists questioning our daily reality.
Thus, the finality of the project consists in building up a permanent dialog around the European question between publics of various cultures and origins, from near by or at distance.
Exhibiting artists in Sibiu: Guillaume Bruere (FR/DE), Dusan Fiser(SLO), Filipe Jensen & Nuno Costa(PT), Hannes Nehls(DE/RO), Claudia Robles(CO/DE), Scenocosme – Grégory Lasserre & Anais Met Den Ancxt (FR), Colectiv MU (FR), Wj's – Anne Roquigny, Karin & Marika Dermineur (FR).
Exhibiting artists in Luxembourg: Janez Janša (SLO), Vincent Levy (FR), Florian Grond (AT), Julien Clauss (FR/DE), Collectif QUO (FR), Lynn Pook (FR/DE), Effie Wu (TW/DE).
The Romanian part of the project was realized with the financial support of the Romanian Ministry of Culture in partnership with the French Embassy in Romania, French Cultural Institute Bucharest, KIBLA Multimedia Center Maribor Slovenia; Ille et Villaine Association Sibiu; *.ARTLABS Sibiu; German Cultural Center Sibiu, Planwerk Association Cluj, German Cultural Center Cluj, Czech Center, Bucharest, Art and Design University Cluj, Tranzit Foundation Cluj; SLICK 07 Paris, Hotel Libra Sibiu, Gong Theater Sibiu, X Future Gallery Sibiu.

Rocket Gibraltar
Burt Lancaster gives one of the most memorable performances of his career... ...in the critically-acclaimed "Rocket Gibraltar." Lancaster stars as Levi Rockwell, a writer, professor, comic and lover of the sea, who is about to turn 77. In celebration of the event, Levi's four children and eight grandchildren return to his home on the idyllic shores of Saggaponack, New York. Featured as one of the eight Rockwell grandchildren is Macaulay Culkin, star of Home Alone and My Girl. The Rockwell clan is a close-knit family who share a warm relationship with Levi. But what begins as a joyful day marking a milestone in a man's life turns into a surprisingly ironic and moving event as the grandchildren honor Levi's most cherished wish. A provocative film that crosses generations and is similar in spirit to The Big Chill, Susan Granger of WMCA Radio called "Rocket Gibraltar" "A total 10. Not since On Golden Pond has there been such a loving film."

More Fun From An Evening With Horiyoshi III
Posted on May 1, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg
Hey, remember this past weekend, when we showed you some pictures from Canvas LA's sexy swingers party, An Evening with Horiyoshi III? Well, there are plenty more fun photos where those came from! Like that one up there, with teevee star "Rachel from BME" hanging out with Benji Madden!
After the jump, Benji finds himself in a compromising position (!) and other goodies.
Rachel, ever the enterprising businessperson, told Madden there was a strict "no shirt" policy at the gallery. Some guys fall for anything.
Alright, Benji, now you're just showing off.
And here we have Bob Roberts of the world-famous Spotlight Tattoo, lookin' sharp! He was not so easily swindled into disrobing.
Hey, Bruce Buffer was there too! He and his brother Michael have a blood-pact to never remove any article of clothing in public, so it is impossible to confirm or deny whether or not he's all tattooed underneath. I can also neither confirm nor deny reports that he brings a microphone with him wherever he goes and prompts random pairings of people to fight to the death. (Oh…we can confirm he doesn't do that? Well, good.)
D.C.'s Grant Cobb was most surprised indeed to learn that the allegedly "free" Sapporo came with a complimentary goosing.
Oh, and here is L.A. Ink's Kim Saigh with the multi-talented Shawn Barber, both of whom have been the subjects of profiles on BME! (Saigh here, Barber here.) Now, hmm, wouldn't want to make any wild assumptions here, but is it possible they found love, you know…because of BME? (No.)

I'm sad, that I can't be at such events, because I'm living in Germany… :(

I thought Benji was Joel when I first saw the picture.
He looks a lot thinner and piercing-free. :P
analise on May 1, 2009 at 5:52 pm said:
i looked and was like whoa, that dude looks a lot like one of the guys in good charlotte but way hotter.. !
go him.
Neurosis on May 1, 2009 at 6:24 pm said:
And really, this is what I've come to expect from BME. Glitz and glamour as opposed to the grassroots. Gotsta make that money I suppose.
Rachel on May 1, 2009 at 7:34 pm said:
Neurosis: It just shows that you don't know what the gallery is all about. It provides a space for Tattoo artists to be recognized for their artistic efforts on both the skin as well as other media. BME happens to support the efforts of artists around the world, not only on skin. So we support places like CanvasLA that are dedicated to our community and only our community.
We're not afraid to have a good time while doing it either.
Liz on May 1, 2009 at 8:46 pm said:
Nothing's more nauseating than people who constantly complain about "selling out" or not keeping in touch with the "grassroots" of tattooing. Yeah it's important to know where it came from but what on earth is wrong with keeping up with where it is now?
Stop acting elitist. If you don't like what's here, do it yourself somewhere else.
Laura on May 1, 2009 at 9:07 pm said:
Maybe it's time to stop bitching about tattoo culture "selling out" and more time being happy that it's finally becoming more accepted and less discriminated against in society?
Jessorz on May 1, 2009 at 11:51 pm said:
you know when i see the phrase "compromising position" i just have to click. haha.
aivi on May 2, 2009 at 6:07 am said:
Yeah, I was expecting something else behind the click-through because of the "compromising position" :p

+1 for Laura's comment at #9

Aaaaaw, are Rachel and Benji wearing matching brass knuckle necklaces? That is both super cute and ultra bad-ass

oh god benji madden and i have the same vans hat, noooo!! on other notes, rachel is beautiful as always!

More pics of Kim Please! even in my late 30s i have a school boy crush on her :P

Amandagee on May 3, 2009 at 3:55 am said:
i met benji when he was fat. to be young & into shitty music, oh memories.
Eric on May 3, 2009 at 4:10 pm said:
I cant believe you guys photoshopped me out of ALL those photographs!
The matching brass knuckles was totally unplanned! Neither of us got the memo. :P
AWalkingModification on May 4, 2009 at 5:03 pm said:
Rachel is gorgeous…. and stealing the photos… It took me half a minute of staring at her arms and, sides of her neck to realize who she was standing next to.
Ryan on May 7, 2009 at 9:24 pm said:
Forget Benji Madden, Rachel Is sexy. Now if we can just get more pics of her on here.
Piter on May 15, 2009 at 5:08 pm said:
Benji used to be good looking. Now he just looks bald and just the typical anorexic American celebrity. These pictures made me sad.
Amanda on July 20, 2009 at 7:03 pm said:
Why can't people stop talking crap about anybody…who cares if he's a celebrity, he wasn't there to 'be a celebrity' he was there to support. And, Piter, I guess the new deifinition of anorexia is well filled out because he is not skinny in the slightest. Nor is he overweight. My friend got a Grant Cobb tattoo on his ankle, and he says Grant is one of the most talented artists he has seen out there.

Q: DbContext.SaveChanges Method Throw null reference exception while saving data Am using EF 6.0 for my web application, whenever i tried to save or update data
via EF, it throws a "null reference exception"..
this method is responsible for creating products
private Product createProduct()
{
    Product product = new Product();
    product.Name = txtName.Text;
    product.Price = Convert.ToInt32(txtPrice.Text);
    product.ProductTypeId = Convert.ToInt32(ddlType.SelectedValue);
    product.Desciption = txtDesciption.Text;
    product.Image = ddlImage.SelectedValue;
    return product;
}

this method is calling "insert product method"
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ProductModel model = new ProductModel();
    Product product = createProduct();
    lblStatus.Text = model.InsertProduct(product);
}

This method is performing "product insertion function" and it throws exception
public string InsertProduct(Product product)
{
    try
    {
        PizzaHuttSliceEntities db = new PizzaHuttSliceEntities();
        db.Products.Add(product);
        db.SaveChanges();
        return product.Name + "was successfully inserted! ";
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        return "Error: " + e;
    }
}

Here is product class
public partial class Product
{
    public Product()
    {
        this.Carts = new HashSet<Cart>();
    }

    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int ProductTypeId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Price { get; set; }
    public string Desciption { get; set; }
    public string Image { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<Cart> Carts { get; set; }
    public virtual ProductType ProductType { get; set; }
}

Here is Trace Info

A: Solved! Actually the problem is with ddlType DataSource, i just refresh the schema of SqlDataSource for ddlType and the problem vanished. Because i did an update to the database and that's why the ddlType pointing to such reference which wasn't exist anymore and for this reason DbContext.SaveChanges method throwing null reference exception
Thanks to all who pay attention to my question

The U.S. Military faces the Rare Earths Supply Chain Gallows
Home Supply Chain
in Supply Chain
"The industry is not mining, but its being directed by the mining industry — and its just not the same" explains an anonymous source that I pistol-whipped with questions on rare earths earlier this morning. Undoubtedly never to answer my calls again in the future, I start with: "I have been in the industry for 10 years and if I don't understand, how can we expect anyone else too?"
10 years in the business and the reason I cannot quit the rare earths industry is that its like a high level business sudoku puzzle aching for a remedy. And no one can solve it because the rules change depending on what piece of propaganda you want to quote. With media sources texting me daily, the result is a regular agitation mobilizer, a spin cycle of the wrong data rotating around regularly without any resolution thanks to the internet and social media plagued by misinformation. And respectfully, these journalists, who are on a fact-finding mission to sort their message have yet to find a holy grail of information, just endless disjointed content of disinformation to which they cannot sort because even the experts can't agree.
Determined to be a part of the supply chain remedy, having invested the hours, and well – I do believe that if we do not sort this out, our history books are going to have a lot of chapters that will start with: "we should have done…we could have done…but we didn't."
Taking an industry leader to lunch last month, he explained to an esteemed colleague that the real supply chain issue in North America is simple: we cannot produce with the same cost efficiency of the Chinese. Talk to him and one would conclude that the game is over, in fact, it never started. That same week I spoke with an expert in Korea who was explaining how Chinese dealing with significant water issues. Hyper focus for a moment, and the theme of that conversation was that the real reason for the influx in the rare earths media attention is that the Chinese want the North Americans to get an opportunity to pollute their waters and air in the same way they have in taking over the global rare earths industry?
Make no err of understanding that this business is a dirty one, but the rumors of collusion and conspiracy make spy novels pale in comparison. Could this industry be that smart?
I would argue not, but it is indeed complex. And this debate does require a white board, a global map and toss in some basic history — and you too may radiate a false sense of intellectual superiority.
Get our daily investorintel update
For the sake of this rare earths' discussion, we are dealing with 4 of the 17 rare earth elements known as the magnetic materials. The 4 magnetic materials heavily in debate in the news are usually about Neodymium (Nd), Praseodymium (Pr), Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb). And the question we are discussing is how the U.S. military will secure an independent source of rare earths and what will we need to do to create a supply chain to achieve this goal.
Industry expert Alastair Neill agreed to go on record, he starts, "The challenge is that the military wants to get independence from Chinese sourcing. The problem is that the military does not buy oxides, they buy components with the rare earths in them. What we need is the ability to convert oxides into metals and the metals into alloys and then turn these alloys into magnets."
Let me add, Alastair also invested 20-minutes reminding me of the 4-stage process for securing rare earths: (1) Mining – Source must be mined, result is ore; (2) Extraction – the ore must be turned into concentrate; (3) Separation – the concentrate is turned into oxides; and finally, (4) Metallization – the oxides through chemical processing are then turned into metals. Now if you re-read Alastair's quote, he starts at how the U.S. supply chain cannot handle the oxides (reference #3), without the oxides being turned into metal (reference #4), and then the metals being turned into alloys (welcome #5) and then the alloys, then being turned into magnets (final stage? Level #6). How many steps? I count 6 – clearly, this is not the same as mining gold.
To be clear, in the next couple of pieces on InvestorIntel I will examine trying to find the sources to mine, or stage 1 in the supply chain as presently we have only one producing, and the ownership includes Chinese investment. Get ready Hoidas Lake….am going down this road next!

Mysterious Things all around
Aliens/Ufo/Space
Aliens/Ufo/Space • Mystery
A bright flash turned a cop into a handful of ashes (VIDEO)
by Mysterious Society Team
Written by Mysterious Society Team
The video below, which appeared on January 12 on YouTube, was allegedly found in the Dark Web, which is not accessible to ordinary users.
The video was first published on the dark web by the user of "Iknowthings" who claims that this video was stored on the servers of the Pentagon and was tagged as 'top secret".
It is alleged that some hackers allegedly hacked into the secret Pentagon servers and downloaded from there a lot of highly secret materials devoted to unidentified flying objects, extraterrestrial civilizations and collisions of people with aliens. And this, they say, is one of such materials.
The video was obtained in the dark by the police car dashcam. We see the law enforcement officer leaving his vehicle and approaching the car ahead, which he had stopped before. The guardian of the law begins to talk with the driver sitting inside the cabin, and then something truly incredible happens.
Suddenly, there is a brightest flash of light, turning a police officer into something resembling a steaming handful of ash. The car, with the driver of which the law enforcement officer had just spoken, drives off without hindrance. Unfortunately, the time and place of this intriguing incident remain unknown.
Mysterious shots made a lot of noise on the World Wide Web, creating a lot of speculation and theories. Some users claim that the policeman, most likely, was turned into ashes by the "flying saucer" accompanying this mysterious car. For others, the danger was precisely in the car, which stopped the unfortunate peace officer. Some suggest that the man did not die, but teleport somewhere, perhaps he was just kidnapped like that, and the fact that his smoking clothes were left on the road still does not say anything.
