Five Good Covers: Back Street Girl (Rolling Stones)
Five Good Covers presents five cross-genre reinterpretations of an oft-covered song.
By now it's hard to find a little-known Rolling Stones song that deserves to be better known, but "Back Street Girl" absolutely qualifies. Originally on their 1967 album Between the Buttons, it was stripped from that release in the U.S. and slapped onto the odds 'n' ends collection Flowers. It's a showcase for Mick Jagger to be even more unpleasant about a woman than he is in "Under My Thumb," as he's dismissing a girl to her face, calling her "rather common and coarse," but still wanting her at his beck and call when nobody's looking. All this is done in waltz time, with a truly pretty melody; put them together and you have a song that's a prime candidate for the next Wes Anderson soundtrack.

You might know Daniel Johnston from Kurt Cobain's t-shirt, his iconic mural in Austin or the many artists who have covered him. Or it's quite possible you've never heard of him. I had the pleasure of learning about Johnston during a panel at SXSW last month that featured his brother, manager, and others who have worked with him over the years. Emotions ran high as they discussed Johnston's eccentric artistic habits, as well as how his personality was altered by bipolar disorder and how that affected his career as an artist.

Shuffle Sundays: Sail Away
Posted by Ray Padgett at 12:00 pm	No Responses »
Shuffle Sundays is a weekly feature in which we feature a cover chosen at random by my iTunes shuffle. The songs will usually be good, occasionally be bad, always be interesting. All songs will only be available for one week, so get them while you can. After you listen, discuss this week's tune in the comments.
Randy Newman seems to be the songwriter of choice for over-the-top emotive sings. Linda Rondstadt has covered his songs, and Harry Nilsson has done a whole album of them. So ol' Bobby Darin, musical slut whose hits range from "Splish Splash" to "Mack the Knife" is unlikely to grasp the subtlety that Newman's songs require.
And he doesn't, not really. Every cringe-inducing production flourish is here, from soaring strings to a superfluous gospel chorus (listen to them repeat "Jesus" three lines in for no obvious reason). What redeems this performance, rising it above "Barry Manilow sings the classics" level is simply that a good singer is a good singer, and even singing about the slave trade, Darin's effortless charm oozes through.
To be honest, I wondered whether Darin even KNEW this song was song by a slave ship captain, recruiting Africans by promising that in American they'll be "as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree." Apparently he did though, a socially conscious singer who wanted to begin his first album for Motown records with a statement song.
The release – titled simple Bobby Darin – was the last before his untimely death in 1973. That context renders "Sail Away" with a whole other meaning, one unrelated to slaves, Africans or colonialism, but a gospel song about heaven (for which the singers are far more appropriate). I'm not saying Bobby meant it that way – and Randy sure didn't – but, as they say, timing is everything.

The 1856 Hannibal Stampede
This entry was posted in Stampede Narratives on June 19, 2021 by Cooper Wingert.
DATELINE: OCTOBER 19, 1856, NEAR HANNIBAL, MO
An enslaved preacher holds services on a South Carolina plantation, as depicted by the Illustrated London News, December 5, 1863 (National Humanities Center)
Late on Sunday night, October 19, Reverend Isaac McDaniel, a free and widely traveled African American preacher, stole a horse and carriage, and then "stole" his family and friends from Hannibal slaveholder John Bush. With McDaniel at the helm, the wagon carrying an enslaved man, two enslaved women, and three young enslaved children bounded out of Missouri and into Illinois. Railing against this latest "stampede," Missouri's proslavery presses called not for heightened surveillance of the enslaved population, but rather for even stricter control over the state's free African American residents. As slaveholding authorities had long feared, McDaniel and other mobile free Black Missourians forged antislavery networks across state lines that helped facilitate group escapes. [1]
STAMPEDE CONTEXT
"Another Stampede," Palmyra, MO Whig, October 23, 1856 (SHSMO)
Initial reports from two Marion County newspapers, the Hannibal National Democrat and Palmyra Whig, described the escape as a "stampede." The latter report was reprinted by the St. Louis Missouri Republican. Across the river in Illinois, the Quincy Whig situated the "Negro Stampede" as yet another of "those stampedes" from Marion County that had become frequent during the mid-1850s. [2]
MAIN NARRATIVE
Like other free African Americans in Missouri, Isaac McDaniel lived under the state's repressive Black codes. Well aware that free Black communities aided freedom seekers along the Underground Railroad, slaveholders had tightened the state's Black codes beginning in the 1830s to counteract growing antislavery sentiment in the North and mounting escapes. In 1835, Missouri legislators required free Blacks who wanted to remain in the state to register for freedom licenses with county clerks. Then in 1843, proslavery lawmakers passed even harsher legislation to "more effectually… prevent free persons of color from entering this State." The new law forced free Blacks to post a bond ranging from $100 to $1,000 to vouch for their "good behavior," and also provide "one or more securities," usually in the form of white neighbors who would serve as character references and occasionally put their own money on the line. [3]

Not much is known about Isaac McDaniel, except that by the early 1850s he had obtained his freedom license and secured the trust of enough white neighbors to put up a bond for his "good behavior," joining a small free Black community in Marion County that numbered only 76 people in 1850. McDaniel established himself as a Methodist preacher, canvasing Marion County and preaching to enslaved laborers. Importantly, as he spread the gospel, McDaniel also came into close contact with enslaved Missourians across the northeastern corner of the state. [4]
Freedom license in hand, McDaniel started traveling extensively throughout the North. Reports placed the itinerant preacher in Cincinnati and Chicago, both home to sizable free Black communities that were defying the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act and continuing to assist freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad. According to one source, McDaniel also visited Canada West (modern day Ontario), home to many freedom seekers who had fled the United States. [5]
But McDaniel kept coming back to Missouri, despite its severe Black codes. That was because his wife, 32-year-old Mary, and their five-year-old son, Daniel, were enslaved by John Bush at his farm about four miles northwest of Hannibal, along the road to Palmyra. The 57-year-old Bush was a well-to-do slaveholder who held five people in bondage at the time of the 1850 census, including another family––32-year-old Anthony, his wife, 34-year-old Eliza, and their children, eight-year-old Margaret and six-year-old Lewis. With the addition of Isaac and Mary's son Daniel sometime in 1850 or 1851, Bush enslaved at least six people by October 1856. Negotiating with his wife's slaveholder, McDaniel arranged to purchase their freedom with money he had saved up during his travels. The date was set for Tuesday, October 21, when McDaniel would buy his wife and child out of slavery. [6]
The money never changed hands. McDaniel may never have intended to pay Bush, using the agreement as an excuse to keep visiting Mary and Daniel, or to forestall a potential sale to the Deep South slave markets. Or perhaps the other family Bush enslaved might have pleaded with McDaniel not to leave them behind. Either way, on Sunday night, October 19, McDaniel crept into Bush's stable, took his horse and carriage, and helped six people exit slavery––his own wife and son, and Anthony, Eliza, and their two children, Margaret and Lewis. [7]
When slaveholder John Bush awoke to find his six enslaved people missing, he frantically offered up a reward of $600 dollars for their recapture, which he later raised to $1,000. The horse and carriage were eventually recovered, but McDaniel and the six freedom seekers were long gone. Given McDaniel's extensive contacts in Illinois, the editor of the Palmyra Whig concluded that there was "no doubt" that the two families were well on their way to Canada. The ultimate fate of McDaniel and the two families remains unclear, though no reports exist to suggest the freedom seekers were ever recaptured. [8]
McDaniel's involvement led many local slaveholders to conclude that the state's oppressive Black codes were not tough enough. The Palmyra Whig decried the "great danger and extreme foolishness" of allowing free Blacks "in the disguise of preachers, to perambulate the country at will," and urged even stricter measures to control the mobility of free Black Missourians. The focus on blaming free Blacks marked a noticeable shift from earlier efforts to explain away stampedes as the work of white Northerners. After 11 freedom seekers escaped from near Palmyra in 1853, slaveholders accused their Illinois neighbors of "enticing" enslaved people to escape and even read a white Methodist preacher out of the county because of his antislavery views. It had become slaveholders' "usual" explanation, observed the Quincy, Illinois Whig, whenever "negroes run away from their master, in Marion county, to accuse citizens of Quincy with running them off." [9]

But as escapes continued at a steady clip throughout the mid-1850s, Missouri slaveholders looked not just to outside actors, but placed increased scrutiny on the activities of free Blacks working to undermine slavery from within. (Only a year earlier in May 1855, authorities thwarted an attempted stampede organized by free Blacks in St. Louis.) Thomas Anderson, the local politician who in 1853 proposed that Missourians "suspend all business and intercourse" with Illinois residents, now focused his wrath on Missouri's free African American populace, offering up a $1,000 reward of his own for the capture of Isaac McDaniel. [10] Ultimately, the 1856 Hannibal Stampede may not have resulted in the stricter Black codes local slaveholders were clamoring for, but it was part of a broader shift in the attitudes of slaveholders and authorities across Missouri, who regarded free Black populations with increasing suspicion and hostility.
Most of the details about McDaniel's life, which are admittedly sparse, come from scattered references in reports in the Hannibal National Democrat and Palmyra Whig. Both accounts were authored by proslavery editors who had nothing but contempt for McDaniel and other free Blacks, but each provides valuable, albeit brief glimpses into McDaniel's extensive travels and connections across the Missouri-Illinois borderlands. [11]
There is also uncertainty about the identities of the two freedom seeking families. The Hannibal National Democrat published the names of all the freedom seekers, including two mothers, but did not specify which woman–Mary or Eliza–was married to McDaniel. It was most likely Mary, because the paper appeared to list the freedom seekers as family units, and Anthony, Eliza, and their two children were grouped together, with Mary and Daniel afterwards. Census records help corroborate some of the details about the freedom seekers, but also raise additional questions. Starting in 1850, Congress instructed census takers to record the ages and gender of enslaved people, but not to take down the names of those enslaved people, deeming their names to be "no useful information." Based on the names and ages reported by the Hannibal National Democrat, Anthony, Eliza, and Margaret appear to be three of the five enslaved people Bush held as of the 1850 Census. At the time of the census, Eliza was likely pregnant with Lewis, and Mary pregnant with Daniel. But two other enslaved people who appear on the 1850 Census, a 20-year-old Black male and 10-year-old Black female, do not match any of the known freedom seekers, making it possible that Bush enslaved as many as eight people in 1856. [12]
To this point, scholars have not directly addressed the 1856 Hannibal Stampede. Still, Richard Blackett's The Captive's Quest for Freedom (2018) offers useful context by demonstrating how the subversive activities of free Black Missourians struck a nerve with slaveholders during the 1850s. Similarly, Kristen Epps's Slavery on the Periphery (2016) highlights the centrality of slave mobility to slavery's spread–and undoing–in western Missouri. Around the same time as slaveholders in western Missouri grew concerned about the mobility of enslaved people, enslavers in northeastern Missouri were becoming more wary of mobile free Blacks like Isaac McDaniel.

Some scholars have conflated the two laws, and mistakenly claimed that the 1835 statute required a bond, when the requirement of a bond was not in the original 1835 law, but added by its 1843 successor.

[4] "Another Stampede," Palmyra, MO Whig, October 23, 1856, [WEB]. It is unclear if McDaniel was ever enslaved or born free. The Palmyra Whig alluded to the fact that McDaniel "succeeded a few years since in getting control of his own actions," but this appears to be in reference to obtaining a freedom license and securities to vouch for his conduct. On the free Black population of Marion County, see Seventh Census of the United States (Washington: Robert Armstrong, 1853), 655, [WEB]. Reports all agreed in their identification of McDaniel as an itinerant Methodist preacher, but besides these brief mentions no other available records shed light on his religious work.
[5] The Palmyra Whig mentions McDaniel's reported trips to Canada. The Hannibal National Democrat only mentions that McDaniel was "well known" in Illinois, Cincinnati and "other points in Ohio."

During the winter of 1853-1854, some local slaveholders did blame free Blacks for the rising number of group escapes, but their comments were largely drowned out by accusations leveled against white Illinois residents.

One HPV Shot Might Provide Long-Term Protection
HPV vaccine Cervarix may be effective enough after just one dose
(RxWiki News) It may never be possible to find a "cure for cancer" — even better would be preventing cancer in the first place. That's what the HPV vaccine can help do.
A recent study found that receiving even one dose of the HPV vaccine may be enough to protect women from infection.
Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a sexually transmitted viral infection. Two types of HPV, called HPV-16 and HPV-18, can cause cervical cancer and other cancers.
Cervical cancer is a common cancer that kills women across the world.
It is currently recommended that women receive three doses of the HPV16/18 vaccine, known as Cervarix.
"Ask your doctor about the HPV vaccine."
This study, led by Mahboobeh Safaeian, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute, looked at the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine based on how many doses women received.
The researchers divided 390 Costa Rican women into four groups to receive the HPV16/18 vaccine.
One dose was administered to 78 of these women. Meanwhile, 140 women received two doses of the vaccine with one month between doses.
Two doses, with six months between them, were administered to 52 women, and 120 women received three scheduled doses, the recommended amount.
A vaccine works by causing the body to make antibodies, or disease-fighting cells, that specifically target a disease.
The researchers measured how many antibodies, that were specific to HPV-16 or HPV-18, in the women at the start of the study (before vaccination) and then after they were vaccinated.
In addition, the women's antibodies against HPV-16 and HPV-18 were measured once a year for an additional four years after getting the vaccine.
The level of antibodies was compared among these women and against another group of 113 women.
The group of 113 women had antibodies against either HPV-16 or HPV-18 because they had previously had a natural infection from the virus.
At the end of the four year period, all of the women in all four vaccination groups still had antibodies against both HPV-16 and HPV-18.
The researchers found that the average levels of antibodies in the women who received two doses of the vaccine at six months apart were no lower than the levels in the women who received three doses.
When the researchers compared the vaccinated women to the women who had experienced natural HPV infections, the researchers found that the vaccinated women actually had better immunity to the infection.
The average antibody levels of the women who received two doses of the vaccine were 24 times higher than the antibody levels of the naturally infected women for HPV-16 and 14 times higher for HPV-18.
Even among women who received only one dose of the HPV vaccine, average antibody levels were nine times higher than those in the naturally infected women for HPV-16 and five times higher for HPV-18.
"Antibody levels following one dose remained stable from month 6 through month 48," the researchers wrote. "Results raise the possibility that even a single dose of HPV [vaccine] will induce long-term protection."
The study was published November 4 in the journal Cancer Prevention Research. The research was funded by the National Cancer Institute, the National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women's Health and the Ministry of Health of Costa Rica.
The vaccine used in the trial was provided by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, which also provided supports for aspects of the trial required by the US Food and Drug Administration.
One author received royalties on US government-owned patents. Another is an inventor of US government-owned HPV vaccine patents that have been licensed to GlaxoSmithKline and Merck and received limited royalties.
A third author has a GSK agreement with the National Cancer Institute, and a fourth has ownership interests in DDL Diagnostic Laboratory. No other potential conflicts of interest were reported.

There comes a time for a Minister to resign
If you are a Minister in a government that has lost its way, is trampling on the beliefs and ideals of its own party, and busily briefing against its own people, in the end you have to resign. You carry on, trying to avoid having to defend the indefensible, picking your way carefully through the mistakes, gross injustices and bad spin.
You live on in the hope that you will win the next battle in Cabinet, that you can persauade the Prime Minister to do the decent thing for a change, or in the hope that you will be allowed to make a difference in your own area. One day, if you wish to restore your own self respect and start the real battle for the soul of your party, you have to resign. It is a liberating experience. You feel so much better for it.
There are now so many reasons why any decent Labour Minister who can remember the principles and ideals that brought him or her into politics should resign.
If you came in to uphold and extend our civil liberties, you must be ashamed of how they are being damaged and abused by this government.
If you came in to see a better Health Service, you must be appalled at the numbers of deaths of patients from hospital acquired infections and even from malnutrition.
If you came in to defend workers rights you will be furious at the botched semi privatisation proposals already pushed through for the London Underground and now about to hit the Post office.
If you wanted to see better equality of incomes you will be scandalised by the public sector rich list and by the pensions for retiring bankers in state owned banks.
If you came in to see an ethical foreign policy you must be struggling to defend the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and extraordinary rendition.
If you came in to see a rise in standards in public life, you will be bitterly disappointed by the vicious spin used against Labour figures, even if you are not so worried about lies against the Tories.
If you came in to see public spending champion better lives for the poor, you must be feeling uncomfortable about the extent of public spending on the privileged and powerful.
If you believed it when you told us the government had abolished boom and bust, do you now feel let down and lied to by the Prime Minister who presided over the credit binge and the crash?
When you look at yourself in the shaving or make-up mirror in the morning, are you any longer proud to be a Minister in this government?
Well done John.
Johnny Norfolk
Its what many of us have known for some time, it appears that the media have just realised it to.
Was this aimed at anyone in particular ?
Mind you, I suspect that quite a few of them no longer have reflections to see.
Kay Tie
I found that rather funny!
We're having a party on Wednesday, so I asked the entertainments agency for the magician who usually stars at our functions.
Can't have him, he's been promoted, in fact he's running the whole business now.
You'll have to have the standin.
No apologises, no choice.
I've now heard rumours that the company is in deep trouble, nearly bankrupt, having to sell the company assets.
With our luck, it'll be the clown turning up on Wednesday.
John Hutton is the only decent one amongst them so I predict he will be the first to resign.
If only they had the Honour, or Courage. I think the last minister to do the honourable thing was Lord Carrington. A sorry state of affairs indeed. Nice article, even if it makes you feel angry.
Point well made, but you know they won't resign but cling on until the very end.
Stuart Fairney
The naive optimists who are most likely the back benchers may well feel this way; Alice Mahon maybe such an example with her resignation from the party (albeit just before she retires anyway!). However, the ones who really understand what modern statism really means draw their influence from Woodrow Wilson, FDR etc and are absolutely committed to the primacy of the state. The very doctrine suggests that the individual must be subservient to a big government state and so, individual failures whilst regrettable are ignored by the collectivists on the road to the promised utopia.
Meanwhile, people who have never had a real job can make themselves millionaires and be rewarded way beyond their abilities.
Thus, why no-one from the inner-party resigns, it may also be why they think a 22-year old relative of an inner party member should be given a first-class ticket to the gravy train, by trying to select her as a PPC.
Its about the money, nothing else.
Selling souls has nothing on this and unfortunately its not confined to any one party.
Best bet would be to take away the pay differential between ministers and backbenchers, and then we might start to see a difference
Would you give up a job where you can pull down close on a quarter of a million a year in pay and scams; plus, a full pension after twenty years; you can do even better than that, if your name is Prescott!
Its ok on the last one, I see Darling has announced the Govt will buy 50bn of mortgages "to get the market moving" or should that be booming.
This has to be the worst Govt for a very very long time, they will do anything to stay in power from utter lies to printing and spending hundreds of billions. Time for an election.
Worth a look at Frank Fields web site/Blog.
Last two posts from him have been scathing (telling the truth) about his own Party.
Interesting to see he is also talking about similar sums to you John for Government borrowing.
Shame the man was never given a chance, but what do you expect when those in power are frightened of the truth about the state of the benefits system, pensions, economy and the like.
Reply: Yes, it was criminal that he was sacked before he had time to come up with bold welffare reforms. We needed them then, we need them even more now. It was a great loss, that Blair squandered the huge goodwill and large majority he enjoyed.
"There are now so many reasons why a decent minister would resign." How naive you are John. I would predict that not one will do so. "The working class can kiss my a*** I've got the foreman' s job at last."
Neil Craig
These are, except mayve spin, all things which have been going on for years & for which the government minister shares responsibility. Any resignation now would, correctly, look like a rat deserting a sinking ship. It would be a different thing if any of these wastrels had an alternative to put forward but the only one who has is Frank Field whose unflinching Spectator article could have been written by a Conservative, but not a front bench one.
Disappointed though I have been with Brown one still cannot see any Labourite, exceopt Field who isn't inthe running, being better.
Of course John you talk from a position of principle & of practicing as you preach because you resigned as Welsh Secretary in 1995 to fight John Major for the Tory Crown.
Your article is absolutely spot on and any Ministers with any integrity at all should quit. But of then they want a ministerial salary for as long as possible to maximize their financial cushion after they lose office & then there is the pension…….
I think with New Labor in their shallow rootless SDP type way that principle went out of the window – that is why only 26% are crackers enough to want four more years of this disgrace visited on our nation.
Well written I would like to see more lists like. Maybe open a blog entry for people to post their ideas. I am sure it would grow and grow.
As to the future:
Short term: well said!
Longer term: will the Liberals actually overtake the Labour and become the Opposition party again? I do hope so!
Even longer term: a new charismatic Tony Blair, perhaps who will galvanise socialism, once people have again forgotten that the whole thing is just a godless scam. I give it 20 years when the new generation of Comprehensive children reach 35 years old.
xsdogskin
You mention Iraq and Afghanistan, the credit binge and the crash, erosion of civil liberties.
Where was the opposition to this? The speeches highlighting the folly? There was scant few.
If the labour cabal had an effective opposition watching and criticising, then perhaps half of the horrors we are being forced to endure wouldn't have been.
No John, this is not just a failure of the labour party, it is a failure of democracy.

Canon 550 is a cheap camera and very very good for its price for amateurs. Photography does not depend on how good camera you have but how good imagination you have but you need to have a good camera so it can give you the image quality you desire so in my Photography career i think 550d is very decent camera that amateurs should go for and practive their photography once they have mastered it they can go for good cameras. I am posting the camera's photo and some of the test shots taken from it you can check out the quality hope you like it! IT also gives you hd video recording so videomakers can use it too and get good results.

E.G. Daily talks about NBC's "The Voice" and the return of "The Powerpuff Girls"
December 19, 2013 by Mike Gencarelli Leave a Comment
You might not known E.G. Daily's face but you definitely know her voice since she has voiced numerous animated characters including Tommy Pickles in "Rugrats". She is also known for her role of Dottie in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". Besides acting, she is also a singer and was a contestant on season five of NBC's "The Voice" with Team Blake. Media Mikes had a chance to chat with E.G. about her experience on the show and the return of "The Powerpuff Girls".
Mike Gencarelli: Tell us about how you decided to audition for NBC's "The Voice"?
E.G. Daily: I've been hosting an online music show called "Balcony TV", which I got to sing on. After I did a few of them, the same person that contacted me for that told me that she got me an audition for "The Voice". I didn't think that they would have me on that show due to my career to date. I went in just for fun and prepared three cover songs. The next thing I know I got a call back. There is a 50,000 people process for this show. So over months and months I kept being called back for the next audition and the next audition and finally I got asked to do the blind audition, which was down to the final 150 people. It was a very incredible process. I don't know how it happened. I was just doing what I loved and the next thing I know I was singing "Breath" in front of America.
MG: Tell us about the highlight for you on the show?
EGD: I have to say it was singing "Breathe" on my blind audition since that was such a magical moment for me. I went months and months of not knowing anything and putting myself on the line and to actually get a chance to be on a team with these talent artists was amazing. You can see it on my face as well if you watch that performance (see below for video), I was like "Wow, this is crazy".
MG: How do you feel about the finale results for season 5?
EGD: Tessanne (Chin) was actually my roommate, so I have so much love for her. All of them, I was close with Jacquie and her mother as well. I think Tessanne is such a solid human being, has such a beautiful soul and is such a great singer. I am very happy and proud for her.
MG: Tell us about what we can expect for return of "The Powerpuff Girls" in 2014?
EGD: I can't say much about it because that it is a special episode and premieres on January 20th. I have done a couple of special things for "The Powerpuff Girls", but I can't say what they are besides that it is going to be really cool. The fans are going nutty about it and I think it is going to be really great. This could be the launch of a lot of things for "The Powerpuff Girls" since fans are very hungry for more of that show.
MG: What else do you have planned for 2014?
EGD: I have been in the studio a lot recently. If you look up E.G. Daily on iTunes, there is tons of great music available right now. There is a record I put out there a while back called "Tearing Down the Walls" that is so beautiful. There is a recent video out there called "Somebody's Loving You", which is great. I am recording some new songs right now that I will be putting up soon as well. I have a trip planned to the East Coast in the beginning of next year for a personal appearance. I also have a ton of animation like "Julius Jr." which is coming to Nick Jr. next year. I am have super busy and it has been awesome. So a lot of great things coming up and be sure to check egdaily.com for all upcoming news.

Q: sqlite ON CONFLICT difference between ABORT and FAIL From http://www.sqlite.org/lang_conflict.html

ABORT
  When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the ABORT resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement with an SQLITE_CONSTRAIT error and backs out any changes made by the current SQL statement; but changes caused by prior SQL statements within the same transaction are preserved and the transaction remains active. This is the default behavior and the behavior proscribed the SQL standard.
FAIL
  When an applicable constraint violation occurs, the FAIL resolution algorithm aborts the current SQL statement with an SQLITE_CONSTRAINT error. But the FAIL resolution does not back out prior changes of the SQL statement that failed nor does it end the transaction. For example, if an UPDATE statement encountered a constraint violation on the 100th row that it attempts to update, then the first 99 row changes are preserved but changes to rows 100 and beyond never occur.

Both preserve changes made before the statement that caused constraint violation and do not end transaction. So, I suppose the only difference is that FAIL resolution does not let further changes to be made, while ABORT does only back up only conflicting statement. Did I get right?

A: The answer is simple: FAIL does not rollback changes done by the current statement.
Consider those 2 tables:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS constFAIL (num UNIQUE ON CONFLICT FAIL);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS constABORT (num UNIQUE ON CONFLICT ABORT);
INSERT INTO constFAIL VALUES (1),(3),(4),(5);
INSERT INTO constABORT VALUES (1),(3),(4),(5);

The statement
UPDATE constABORT SET num=num+1 WHERE num<5

will fail and change nothing.
But this satement
UPDATE constFAIL SET num=num+1 WHERE num<5

will update the first row, then fail and leave the 1 row updated, so the new values are 2, 3, 4, 5

Q: Javascript framework to easily add dynamic/hover effects to website I would like to make a website that has a lot of on-hover effects or effects when you scroll down the page. Like if you look at this page: http://eacykler.dk/ - and then hover on some of the images on the page. I refuse to believe, that someone sat and coded that JavaScript, bit by bit. So I was wondering if some library/framework/gathering/i-don't-know-what-it-should-be-called exists, that makes it easy to implement dynamic effects in HTML/CSS. I imagined something like this:
STATIC VERSION:

DYNAMIC VERSION:

... I hope the class-names illustrates, what the different elements should do. So that instead of having to write JavaScript, then I should just lookup the different functions/options that this given library/framework/gathering/i-don't-know-what-it-should-be-called offers me, and then insert those class-names to get the elements to do it.
Does it exist? If not - then how do I achieve these effects in the fastest and easiest way?

A: this can all be done using CSS transitions like so:
.spins-30-degrees-and-zooms-20-percent-in-10-sec {
    width:100px;
    transform:rotate(0deg);
    transition: all 10s;
}
.spins-30-degrees-and-zooms-20-percent-in-10-sec:hover {
    width:120px;
    transform:rotate(30deg);
}

.font-color-fades-to-white-in-10-sec {
    color:#000;
    transition: all 10s;
}
.font-color-fades-to-white-in-10-sec:hover {
    color:#fff;
}

Архієпископ Афанасій (в миру Олександр Васильович Дроздов [1]; 1800, село Умріненково, Белевький повіт, Тульська губернія — 7 (19) грудня 1876, Астрахань [2]) — єпископ Російської православної церкви, архієпископ Астраханський і Єнотаєвський. Ректор Херсонської духовної семінарії в Україні (1840—1841). Єпископ Вінницький. За національністю — московит.

Біографія

Народився 1800 в селі Умріненково Белевського повіту Тульської губернії в родині російського священика. По закінченні курсу Тульської духовної семінарії вступив у Московську духовну академію. 18 грудня 1823 пострижений у чернецтво.

23 серпня 1828 призначений ректором Пензенської духовної семінарії. З 16 вересня 1828 року — архімандрит Червонослобідського Хрестовоздвиженського монастиря Пензенської єпархії.

З 17 липня 1829 року — ректор Костромської духовної семінарії, а з 27 липня того ж року — настоятель Костромського Богоявленського монастиря. У грудні 1837 року затверджено ректором Рязанської духовної семінарії та настоятелем Рязанського Спаського монастиря.

Перебування в Україні

З 4 квітня 1840 — ректор Херсонської духовної семінарії та архімандрит Одеського Успенського монастиря. 29 листопада того ж року призначений настоятелем Одеського Успенського собору.

З 14 квітня 1841 — коротко ректор Санкт-Петербурзької духовної академії і керуючий Ростовським Богоявленським монастирем.

У період ректорсько-викладацької діяльності без втоми і перерв займався вивченням класичної світської і духовної літератури. Він досконало знав кілька мов: єврейську, латинську, грецьку, французьку, німецьку, ґрунтовно англійську, займався вивченням італійської. Всі твори в основному Афанасій читав з першоджерелах. В останні 25 років свого життя російською мовою він майже нічого не читав.

Заняття класичною літературою було направлено ним спеціально до того, щоб глибше вивчити Біблію.

Крім занять духовною наукою преосвященний Афанасій захоплювався вивченням природничих наук. Він досконало знав фізику, ботаніку, геологію, мінералогію, вищу математику, займався астрономією, анатомією.

Про високу освіченість владики Афанасія стало відомо обер-прокурору Святійшого Синоду графу Н. А. Протасову. За його сприяння преосвященний Афанасій був призначений ректором Санкт-Петербурзької духовної академії. Його положення в Санкт-Петербурзі архієпископ Никанор називає трагічним, так як, виконуючи волю обер-прокурора, він мимоволі йшов врозріз з думками митрополита Московського Філарета (Дроздова).

15 серпня 1842 хіротонізований в єпископа Вінницького, вікарія Подільської єпархії ВПСРІ.

Обер-прокурор, користуючись слабкістю немічного тілесними силами митрополита Санкт-Петербурзького Серафима, прагнув взяти в свої руки всю духовну владу. Здійснити це бажання обер-прокурору мимоволі допомагав звеличений їм єпископ Афанасій. За сприяння владики Афанасія графом Н. А. Протасовим була проведена реформа духовних навчальних закладів.

У той період часу преосвященний Афанасій служив дуже рідко, проповідей взагалі не говорив, єпархіальними справами Вінницької кафедри майже не займався.

Сучасники негативно відгукувалися про нього. Всі його дії розцінювалися, як прагнення задовольнити особисте самолюбство і честолюбство.

Коли преосвященний Афанасій став не потрібен обер-прокуророві, він постарався видалити його з Петербурга. Єпископ Афанасій був призначений у Саратовську єпархію.

З 13 січня 1847-го — єпископ Саратовський і Царицинський.

У саратовський період життя преосвященний Афанасій багато писав, але труди свої майже всі спалював, не визнаючи їх корисними. Єпархіальними справами він займався лише настільки, щоб не зруйнувати поточний порядок, а весь інший час присвячував науці. Книги для преосвященного Афанасія були найкращими друзями. "Коли я розмовляю ось з цими величинами, — говорив він, вказуючи на свої фоліанти, — з цими мудрецями всіх віків, я все в світі забуваю … Мені нічого не потрібно, окрім моїх книг, крім цих моїх високих співрозмовників, крім цього вищого в Світу суспільства ".

Життя преосвященного Афанасія в Саратові відрізнялася скромністю і строгістю. Він вкрай боявся подати прикладу, який би міг спокусити когось іншого. Жив у самоті. Без особливої потреби сам не виїжджав до інших і у себе не приймав нікого. Не допускав ніяких розваг. В архієрейському священнодіянні він був величний і прекрасний. Богослужбовий устав у його кафедральному соборі дотримувалися дуже суворо.

У нього був найкращий хор з провінційних, про який він проявляв саме гаряче батьківське піклування. Знаменитий композитор протоієрей Петро Турчанінов не один раз приїжджав із Санкт-Петербурга в Саратов послухати його хор і керувати ним.

У Саратові преосвященний Афанасій мав зіткнення з цивільною владою, що послужило причиною його перекладу в Астрахань.

З 15 квітня 1856 року — єпископ Астраханський і Єнотаєвський.

На новому місці, як і раніше продовжував займатися наукою, будучи вище всіх життєвих негараздів.

23 березня 1858 возведений у сан архієпископа.

6 квітня 1870 по проханню звільнений на спокій в Астраханський Болдін монастир з пенсією в 1500 рублів, однак тимчасово управляв єпархією до 19 липня того ж року. Згодом переведений до Московського Данилового монастиря.

За висловом архієпископа Никанора Бровковича, «цей ієрарх був якщо не диво по вченості, по величині змісту, то явище феноменальне, у своєму роді виняткове».

Помер 7 грудня 1876.

Helena Richmond Meaney
Feb 22, 2013 | Tapestry
Tapestry series no. 54
Date contributed: 10.09.1997
Contributed by Helena Irene Hall
My memories of Grandma were of a tall, well built woman with grey hair walking with me to collect eggs from the barn, a disused dairy on the creek bank under the bridge. I remember the butter making. The milk was boiled on the stove, poured into a dish and set to cool on the shady verandah – no fridge or icebox in those days. One or two days later the cream was skimmed off and beaten to produce butter. Tea was something I looked forward to. It was often a boiled egg served in an aluminium cup accompanied by fingers of bread cut thin from a tin loaf. In the early days she had to make the bread. Gingerbread (still a favourite) was sometimes served. After tea it was reading time. Grandma had many volumes on farming and of course there was the newspaper and novels from the school of arts library.
Helena Richmond Meaney (nee Murphy) was born at Kilgin on the Richmond River in 1870 when the river was in flood. Her mother had been evacuated by boat as the water came up the windowsills. She moved to the only piece of dry land on top of a hill. The surrounding settlers had congregated there and Helena was born in a building there. After the flood the family moved to the Clarence River area. The family lived in various farms and Helena commenced school there. The family then returned to Kilgin otherwise they would have lost the land they had selected in 1869. After finishing her primary education Helena was appointed pupil teacher in 1885 at the Broadwater Public School. In the school holidays all pupil teachers from the Tweed, Richmond and Clarence areas were required to sit for exams in Lismore. Because Helena intended to marry she did not take up a scholarship to train as a teacher at the Public Instruction College in Sydney. She would have been required to teach for five years after finishing her course.
She married Patrick Meaney in 1890. He farmed with his father on a sugar cane farm in Meaney's Lane. There was only a horse track in and out of the lane when they were married. After leaving Meaney's Lane they moved across the river to a farm at Back Channel. There was no road there for a few years and to go out from the farm they rowed a boat across the river, tied the boat up at a friends wharf and caught a boat going to Ballina.
As finances improved, Helena and Patrick had a family of three boys followed by five girls. One evening during a game of chasings, one of the girls fell and cut her knee deeply on a broken bottle. Helena felt that the knee would have to be stitched or the result would be a stiff knee. As it was dusk, there was no question of driving many miles in a sulky to a doctor so Helena stitched the knee herself. She enlisted the help of two brothers to help restrain the patient. When a visit was made to the doctor, he commented 'You would make a fine surgeon'.
Helena started dairying on the farm with the assistance of her three sons. Patrick was away working. The dairy was registered in her own name. The cream was taken by rowing boat across the river to be sent to the factory at Ballina via riverboat. Any butter headed for the houseboat was sent back in a billycan. The remainder of the butter was sold by the factory.
When the Great War broke out in 1914, a branch of The Red Cross was formed in Wardell (the town of Back Channel). The foundation President was Helena Meaney. Her health forced her to relinquish the presidency after two years but she remained Vice President until her death. She was a delegate to a Red Cross Conference in Lismore where a motion before the delegates was about getting a suitable convalescent hospital for war neuroses for soldiers coming home from the 1914 -1918 war. She spoke brilliantly on the motion and it was passed against the votes of some of the Sydney delegates. Mrs Mary Dent, the recording secretary, said years later the speech had carried the day. 'Russell Lea' was opened at Five Dock to help those sick men. In 1935, the Red Cross awarded long service medals to those who had twenty years of service. Helena received her award at the Town Hall, from the Governor General's wife, Lady Isaacs. It was a wonderful experience for her.
In 1905 Helena became reporter for the Northern Star, published in Lismore. She visited farms in the area, took photos and wrote about the crops and cultivation for the agricultural page in the paper. I remember her measuring the rainfall and entering it in her notebook. She would send the statistics and information each month to the paper.
In 1927 a new hall was built at Wardell. It had been hard to raise the money. Helena had been a strong advocate of the project. She was chosen to officially open and name the hall. It was called Richmond Hall after her. Helena was active in all things that would benefit the town. She worked for the opening of the Catholic Church in 1910 and the convent in 1913.
Helena's sister had a millinery shop in Oxford Street, Sydney, and could get nice things from the warehouses and sometimes sent new clothes up to Helena. Having the new outfit was a strong incentive for Helena to set off with her eldest daughter in the sulky to drive to the horse races in Grafton, a distance of ninety miles. After the races the night was spent in Grafton at a friend's house and then they drove back to Back Channel.
Always anxious to explore things Helena did not tell any of the family that she was going to have a joy ride in a plane on New Years Day. It was a Gypsy Moth and the year was 1934. One of her sons seeing the plane on the beach at Evans Head said, 'What lunatic would go up in that thing?' Surprise, surprise, when Helena emerged later from the plane. After that she was sold on air travel. Aged 65, she flew with New England Airways from Lismore to Sydney. Two other family members went by train.
When Helena died in 1940 she was survived by her husband and family. The eldest son worked for the railway, the other two sons each had their own business. Three of the girls were nurses, one a schoolteacher and the youngest stayed at home to help the parents as was often the custom at that time.


From white sand, unspoiled shallows slope gently into transparent water. Island keys soften the view. Our private sandy beach has a protected swim boundary. Typically a serene setting, K-Beach is also perfect for holiday weekend families who snorkel, kayak and paddle board. A wide grass lawn and mature native trees invite picnics and give children a place to run and play.
Note: No jet skis, wave runners, water bikes, etc., are permitted to enter Buttonwood property by water or land.


Fulham fell to another disappointing defeat on Saturday, as they were thumped 3-0 by Manchester United at Craven Cottage.
The result has left the club 19th in the Premier League table, seven points adrift of 17th-placed Newcastle United and eight behind 16th-placed Cardiff City.
Fulham have won just four times this season – beating Brighton and Hove Albion in January, Huddersfield in December, Southampton in November and Burnley in August.
Their season has been characterised by inconsistency, however. Their first win over Burnley was followed by a run of nine games without victory, including a thumping 5-1 loss to Arsenal, a 3-0 loss to Manchester City and a 4-2 beating by Cardiff City.
Hopes of a run of form were raised at the end of January, when the Cottagers fought back from 2-0 down to beat Brighton 4-2, but two successive losses, to Crystal Palace and United at an aggregate score of 5-0, have seen many consign the club to the drop.
And Fulham fans want manager Claudio Ranieri – appointed in November – sacked after another uninspiring performance.
#ffc #Ranieriout is he still in the job? Just woken up to check my phone. Had a lovely dream that there was an announcement that Fulham FC have parted company with their Manager…..
I'm jealous of everyone. Cardiff's heart, Southampton's manager, Burnley's defensive ability, even Huddersfield's spirit. We're so lost. Fair play to them all.


You've worked hard to get your own home and continuing to keep it looking great is often a goal. A much much larger goal is going to be trying to keep repairs and repairs and maintenance costs low. Home repairs are costly, and a bit of protective care will assist you to steer clear of pricey repair jobs. Performing a straightforward Sealcoating just about every 24 months is an effective and affordable method to safeguard the investment in your driveway or parking area. Everyone loves the appearance of a brand-new driveway, and Sealcoating treatment will give you that clean appearance at a small fraction of the price, while maintaining your driveway for years to come.
Manhasset sealcoating for houses and businesses is the solution.
Property owners should sealcoat their Manhasset blacktop driveway each and every 2 years, and within twelve months of initial installation. In the same way you need to take care of your car or truck, looking after your driveway just about every twenty-four months can help you prevent problems as well as costly repairs that may be prevented. In this economic climate, price is usually an issue, and sealcoating is a fantastic low-cost method of guarding your blacktop driveway and staying away from potential problems. Weather is normally the greatest enemy, and Sealcoating protects the driveway with a layer which reduces the damage from the sunlight, snow, water and other elements.Correct preventive care can stay clear of repair and replacement costs which can be ten or twenty times the cost of simple sealcoating.
As you approach someone else's residence, the initial thing you observe is their blacktop driveway. Does it deliver a message? Is it worn out as well as does it appear well-maintained? Manhasset Sealcoating revives your paved driveway, giving it that freshly paved appearance. You simply really need to sealcoat every two years, and you are going to keep things looking excellent not to mention well protected. We like to get compliments, so when people mistake a sealcoated paved driveway for a brand new one, that's the highest honors. A extremely fast procedure, sealcoating is completed inside a couple of hours.
Throughout the winters of Long Island, we see rainfall, snowfall, ice and frost. Snowplowing tends to make an already damaged blacktop driveway even more serious, pushing and pulling up pieces of pavement while it plows. Frost heaves below the driveway raise and then crack your blacktop even more. With a proper seal coating, you even out the driveway, lessen the possibility of plows yanking up chunks. Sealcoating will help you stop the rain, snow and ice from reaching through your paved driveway, generating fractures, and suffering damage in the course of snow plowing.
In this tight economy, selling real estate is tough. Pretty much everything has to look wonderful in order to offer your house. After all, people would like one that's in excellent condition, and sealcoating can certainly make your driveway look fantastic. Your blacktop driveway can give guests and housebuyers a terrific first thought.
In contrast to other people who make use of a spray sealcoating, we perform all sealcoating tasks manually. We're an authorized provider of sealcoating, and have already been specially taught about how to install sealcoat manually on top of pavement. You wouldn't water down the painting in your home, neither would you dilute sealcoat for your blacktop driveway. It truly is way too dense to spray. Other businesses thin the substance so that they can spray it, helping to make tasks speedier and a lot more profitable to them. If watered down and applied far too thin, it just isn't going to supply the protective cover you need.
From family homes and apartment complexes to parking lots, we have helped 1000s of pleased purchasers on Long Island over the past quarter of a century. Call now for a no cost quote. Learn how simple it is to have sealcoating carried out the right way.

Historically we have always to some extent ended up disappointed with contractors. Some OK others left wanting. We needed a new roof on our 16 year old conservatory. We chose Durham Designs and an Ultra Frame 380 Warm Roof rather than the lower cost more popular Guardian Roof. We were immediately impressed by Jill and Kevin's no nonsense informative and knowledgeable approach. The work has been amazing beyond any reasonable expectation . All their contractors to a man have been impressive both in there attitude and quality of work, we now have a fantastic Warm Roof. In our opinion the cheapest quote is never the best option. This sort of attention to detail doesn't come cheap however, Durham Design are a company that you can trust to deliver the highest possible quality product. We are actively looking for more work that they can do for us and to me, that says it all.
Kevin and his team did several jobs for us, the biggest of which was to replace our existing conservatory with an amazing Ultraframe extension. We are extremely happy with the result which has transformed our room into an all year round living space. Kevin and team were with us for a few months and were a pleasure to have in our home. Always respectful and very tidy, ensuring the site was left safe and clear each evening before leaving. They worked extremely hard to achieve our projects and Kevin was great at being able to visualise possible design ideas/solutions. Nothing was too much trouble and their communication with us was very good. Their quote was competitive and their work was of a high standard. We would recommend Durham Design and would certainly have them back again for any future projects.
We are thrilled with our Ultraframe replacement livinroof on our existing conservatory. Kevin and his team have done a very professional job. Would definitely use Durham Design again if we need more home improvements. Looking forward to using our conservatory all year round.
Reliable, friendly, trustworthy and efficient. We were very happy with the finished product. I would recommend this company and use them again.
Durham Design finished our new living roof just before Christmas, tackling unexpected snow fall while there was no roof on in the process. Our experience has been good and we're happy with the finished result. This is not a cheap option, we had lower quotes but this product afforded us the option of putting light into our room where velux windows couldn't. We were also sold on this company by the company itself, they are Jill and Kevin; they visited together and promised a fine product and they have supplied it. Ultimately though, I think the measure of a good company is how they deal with concerns as they come along, they did that, coming over together on a Saturday during the build to offer reassurance. We would recommend Durham Design without hesitation.
Durham Design built an Orangerie for us last year . The work was outstanding, finished on time and we are delighted.
have used durham design on many occasion referring them to my family friends and clients as well as on my own project. kev and jill over see everything and ensure work is completed to a very high standard. if your looking for the right builder for the job look no further. they truly are builders of beautiful spaces .


7 Trends That Have Transformed All-Inclusive Resorts is brought to you by Palace Resorts.
With resort-within-a-resort concepts, top dining options, and a focus on health and well-being, the all-inclusive product has changed dramatically over the years. Successful Meetings takes a look at seven key trends that are driving changes in all-inclusive resorts.
All-inclusives continue to be at the forefront of developments that tap into other travel trends that are ultimately making them more attractive options for meetings and incentive groups. Many all-inclusives now rival the luxury four- and five-star properties, and the demographics of the all-inclusive product now cater to distinct market segments, from couples and singles to multi-generation families, foodies, health and fitness devotees, honeymooners, active vacationers, millennials, weddings, and meetings and incentive groups.
Meeting and incentive planners are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the features and amenities found at luxury all-inclusives, from the soaking whirlpool tubs, gourmet in-room coffee and high-end toiletries offered in guest rooms to specialty restaurants, activities that are on trend, such as tequila tasting, and swanky nightlife settings.
Successful Meetings is the leading multi-platform brand for multi-tasking meeting planners representing a variety of industries and job titles, delivering clear and easy-to-implement how-to strategies, creative solutions, and sourcing services. Its data, digital, events, and print products serve a vital sector of the meeting-planning marketplace that industry associations and other media companies are unable to reach—including senior executives, department heads, sales and marketing directors, and administrative professionals who plan and approve a range of business events from high-level retreats and conferences to ad hoc meetings.

Today, Case Western Reserve's enrollment and resources, distributed among undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, achieve a balance that is distinctive among American universities.
Case Western Reserve University is located in University Circle, a 550-acre, park-like concentration of approximately 50 cultural, medical, educational, religious, and social service institutions located at the eastern edge of the city center. University Circle attracts visitors from throughout the region to its concerts, theater performances, athletic events, art shows, public lectures, exhibits, and restaurants.

Houston woman wins $500,000 in 'revenge porn' lawsuit
This phenomenon, called "revenge porn," usually happens after a bad breakup -- someone posts naked photos or videos of an ex on the Internet for the world to see.
"I loved him. I thought I could completely trust him," said a woman we're just identifying as "Rosie."
Rosie's young long-distance romance lasted seven years. For part of it, she shared intimate moments with photos and Skype chats.
"If I ever sent him a picture, I asked him to delete it right away. And he promised me that he did," she said.
Only after their breakup did Rosie learn that he didn't. He recorded those chats, without her permission.
"He started threatening me, blackmailing me with the pictures and video, which I didn't know he recorded," Rosie said.
Videos were uploaded to YouTube and other sites. Her private moments became very public.
"He would update me on how many people had seen it, or downloaded it," she said. "It's humiliating. It's devastating."
There's no law against revenge porn in Texas and, without a crime, police couldn't help Rosie.
"Any person who uses personal confidential info obtained on the basis of trust to hurt, humiliate [or] go after other people, I think should be punished," said her attorney, Joseph Mathew.
Mathew argued her case in civil court this month and a Harris County jury awarded her a half-million dollars -- the largest revenge porn verdict in the country.
"It's happening all across the nation, and it's happening to many young people," Mathew said.
Two state lawmakers are working on a bill that would make revenge porn illegal in Texas, but critics say criminalizing it may violate the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
"If you allow the state or federal government to restrict your speech in one instance, it could expand and get more restrictive over other matters and nobody wants that," said KTRK legal analyst Joel Androphy.
What Rosie wants is piece of mind for herself and other women.
"This completely changed my life," she said. "I don't want anyone to go through what I went through."
Revenge porn is illegal in New Jersey and California, and other states are following suit. The attorney for Rosie's ex-boyfriend says he plans to appeal the verdict.
