Dog Dies in Overhead Compartment on United Airlines Flight
A dog died on a United Airlines flight during which it was stored in a passenger's overhead compartment. According to a report in The New York Times, witnesses said a flight attendant had ordered the pet owner to put the dog in the compartment before the plane took off. The black French bulldog that was traveling in a pet carrier was placed in the compartment shortly before United Flight 1284 left Houston for New York the evening of March 12.
Horrific Incident Unfolds
Maggie Gremminger, who was seated behind the pet owner, told the Times that the pet owner was "very adamant" and did not want to put her dog in the overhead compartment. But the flight attendant insisted saying that the pet carrier was a tripping hazard. Eventually, the pet owner put the pet carrier containing her dog in the overhead compartment.
Gremminger said the owner did not check on her pet during the flight because she was attending to her two children, one of whom was an infant. The dog died during the flight. Gremminger said the dog's owner was visibly upset as she gasped and sobbed on discovering her dog had died during the flight. She then collapsed to the floor, rocking back and forth while clutching the dog's body, her fellow passenger said.
United has apologized for the horrific incident saying that putting animals in the overhead compartment is against the airline's policies. Under United's policies, pets are required to travel in carriers that must fit under the seat in front of the pet owner and remain there at all times. The airline has said it is looking into who put the dog in the overhead compartment and why. A spokeswoman said the airline accepts "full responsibility for this tragedy." The dog's death is the latest in a series of alarming customer service incidents for United. Last year, a passenger was dragged off a flight screaming and injured.
Liability Issues
Our heart goes out to this family that has lost a beloved pet, apparently because of the flight attendant's actions. It is a good thing that United Airlines has assumed responsibility and has promised to support the family. When it comes to the law, pet owners cannot file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of a pet.
Under the law, pets are viewed as personal property. So, if your pet is injured on a flight, you can seek compensation for veterinary bills or other expenses you incurred. If you lose a pet, you may be able to seek compensation for your emotional distress. We hope United is held accountable for this incident and that United and other airlines make sure this type of tragedy never occurs again.

Q: How to pass Hibernate Entity to Android Application I have a server running in Java and all the data inserted on it is stored in a MySQL database, using Hibernate.
I'm trying to pass all this data to my Android application, so I have to have the same Entities classes declared on both sides. The point is Android does not support Hibernate, so I can't have the Hibernate annotations in my Android entity classes.
How could I solve this problem?
I have thought in creating an auxiliary class which would be called EntityAndroid and it will not have the Hibernate Annotations. So whenever an Android request come to the server, I would convert an Entity class (with Hibernate stuffs) to EntityAndroid class (similar to the other one, but without Hibernate stuffs), and pass this auxiliary object to Android app (Obviously, I would have the same EntityAndroid class of server in Android app). This would demand too much of the server since I have so many relations between tables.

A: Why dont you use hibernate XML mapping style?
You will be using classes without annotations and this may clear the error in Android.

A: I ended up creating new entity classes both in Android and Server project and I'm using these classes to pass from Server to Android.
These classes don't have the annotations from Hibernate and all the foreign keys are treated as Integer (In Hibernate I have the whole object entity of the foreign key). So before sending these entities to the app, I make this conversion, which is simply an iteration through all fields of an hibernate entity filling the android entity (identical of hibernate entity but without annotations and foreign keys being integers)
This may not be the best solution cause it can waste too much of the processor and memory but as I will not have so many entities to be converted I guess that should be fine

A: It does not make sense to me to have Entities on Android if you store / retrieve the data via your server. I would focus on creating webservices on the server side for retrieving and storing your changes.
Let your webservice serialize the entity objects to a JSON data structure (for example) that you can read and convert back to an object in your Android app. When an object was changed in your client you can send it back to the server via a webservice which converts the JSON structure back to an entity.
Hope this helps.

While I like the general sentiment, this would be hard to agree on as no two socialists believe in all the same tenants or what specifically counts as socialist or any of those criteria. And while there are forms of socialism (made of people who roughly agree) they are still wildly different to one another, making a general consensus almost impossible.

B'nai B'rith Calls on New York Times to Re-Evaluate Editorial Processes After Publication of Anti-Semitic Cartoon
(Washington, D.C., April 29, 2019)—B'nai B'rith International President Charles O. Kaufman and CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin have issued the following statement:
The anti-Semitic editorial cartoon in Thursday's international edition of the New York Times was an outrage. Drawn with great technical skill and conceived with great ignorance, if not hate, this piece was simply a reflection of the Times' long-standing bias against Israel. The symbolism used was vintage Nazi Germany.
This cartoon punctuated yet another shocking weekend of hatred toward Jews. How anti-Semitic commentary has made it into the mainstream of public opinion is beyond comprehension in modern times. In this case, this incident is the exclamation point about media today. Editors have virtually disappeared as the marketplace of ideas flourishes with unchecked sources and little, if any, corroboration of information. What seems to matter most is being first to market with a thought rather than exercising discretion, a penchant for accuracy and news judgment.
Given the nature and rules of engagement of today's media world, we are frankly surprised that people are so shocked by this editorial illustration. It simply reflects the opinion and biased coverage of Israel, Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions, Palestinian leadership, the peace process, false narratives advanced through anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations, United Nations Human Rights Council and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization by the Times. The Times proves over and over again that, with few exceptions, it is giving forces who operate without a free and scrutinizing press — Israel's adversaries — a free pass. Such a shame. Journalism is badly, maybe irreparably, damaged.
While we acknowledge that the Times has issued apologies for the cartoon, merely apologizing is not enough. We call on the paper to review and revise its editorial processes so that blatantly anti-Semitic and racist content will not be given a platform by one of the most widely read newspapers in the world. The artist who created the cartoon and the editors who approved its publication must be held accountable.
B'nai B'rith International has advocated for global Jewry and championed the cause of human rights since 1843. B'nai B'rith is recognized as a vital voice in promoting Jewish unity and continuity, a staunch defender of the State of Israel, a tireless advocate on behalf of senior citizens and a leader in disaster relief. With a presence around the world, we are the Global Voice of the Jewish Community. Visit www.bnaibrith.org
B'nai B'rith Statement on Shooting at Chabad Synagogue
B'nai B'rith International President Charles O. Kaufman and CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin have issued the following statement:
It is with heavy hearts, mixed with anger, that we condemn the shooting at a Chabad synagogue in Poway, California, outside San Diego. Six months after the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, the Jewish community has suffered another synagogue shooting, again at the hands of intolerance and hate.
This kind of hatred must be met head-on, especially through increased vigilance and increased law enforcement monitoring and acting quickly to identify and stop those out there likely to commit these horrendous crimes.
We offer our deepest condolences to the families of those killed and injured. We stand with the community of Jews and all those who support faith, tolerance and mutual respect.
B'nai B'rith Horrified By Terror Attacks In Sri Lanka On Easter
The coordinated terror bombings on Easter Sunday against Christian worshippers at church as well as against popular tourist hotels is a devastating assault on religious tolerance in Sri Lanka. Though the country is mostly Buddhist, there is a sizable Christian population, along with Hindus and Muslims. More than 200 are dead and more than 400 injured.
The ability to practice one's religion in peace and security should be a basic tenet of any society.
On this, one of the holiest days of the year on any religious calendar, we send our condolences to the people of Sri Lanka suffering from this terror attack.
Israeli Election Analysis with Jerusalem Post Chief Political Correspondent
(Washington, D.C., April 10, 2019)--Gil Hoffman, chief political correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, gave a detailed and insightful briefing on the Israeli elections this afternoon to top B'nai B'rith International leaders from around the world.
In a conference call moderated by CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin, Hoffman broke down how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu committed himself to abundant interviews in the final days before the election and he also paid particular attention to the fact that the prime minister "declared victory over the media."
Hoffman addressed the small drop in voter turnout, from about 72 percent last year to about 68 percent now. But he also noted how high the turnout is in Israel, compared to voter turnout in the United States, indicative of a deeply engaged electorate in the Jewish state.
Hoffman also talked about the future of peace prospects and Saudi Arabia's key role going forward. And he warned about the likely chaos, even possibly civil war, that will ensue when 83 year-old-Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas eventually dies. Hoffman said: "We've seen the U.S. get involved in elections in Israel under many presidents. It's possible that the U.S. could have a role in the Palestinian elections as there could surface someone who is pro-American. Perhaps there has to be an intervention in politics there."
This election was "more exciting than any other we have had," Hoffman said.
B'nai B'rith Statement on Airbnb Listings in West Bank
B'nai B'rith commends Airbnb for rescinding, as part of a court settlement, its decision to de-list properties in the West Bank.
In November, the vacation rental company announced it would de-list Israeli properties located in Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This highly discriminatory action only served to embolden Palestinian rejectionists and gave encouragement to the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement aimed at delegitimizing Israel.
The reversal is a welcome repudiation of BDS.
Spring Issue of B'nai B'rith Magazine Spotlights Jewish-Muslim Interfaith Women's Group
Other Features Include: Israeli start-ups helping the disabled and the poignant friendship between a Jewish philanthropist and his chess prodigy mentee
(Washington, D.C., April 9, 2019)--During a time of rising anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, an interfaith group of Muslim and Jewish women in Northern Virginia tackles tough topics over discussion meetings as they try to bridge the gap between the two targeted religious groups. The women, who have been meeting for four years and consider one another family, are members of a national group called the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom. We delve into the strong bonds between the women and the challenges the group faces in the feature story: The Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom: Finding Common Ground.
Israeli entrepreneurs are developing new technology – and adapting existing technology – to help the visually and physically impaired. In To See and Walk: Israeli Start-Ups Adapt Technology for the Blind and Disabled, readers will see some of the exciting devices created by Israeli companies for this purpose, including super-charged glasses that can read any text out loud and a harness designed to help young children with conditions affecting their mobility walk with the assistance of an adult.
Samuel Reshevsky was a young chess prodigy when prolific Jewish philanthropist Julius Rosenwald took him under his wing. Reshevsky, who had learned to play chess well enough to beat skilled adult opponents by age 4, had foregone formal education to support his entire family through chess. Rosenwald, who was passionate about education and funded the creation of 4,000 schools in the South to educate African-American children, agreed to support the Reshevsky family if Samuel's parents would agree to obtain tutoring for their child instead of forcing him to play chess professionally full-time. In The Philanthropist and the Phenom, we shed light on the long-lasting friendship between Reshevsky and Rosenwald.
Contemporary anti-Semitism is the focus of columns from CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin and President Charles O. Kaufman. In The Many Faces of Contemporary Anti-Semitism, Mariaschin explores the history of dual loyalty accusations hurled at American Jews and condemns the disturbing resurgence of this anti-Semitic canard from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan). Kaufman's column, Unity Needed in the Fight Against Anti-Semitism, calls on American Jewry to unite in the face of this ancient hatred. He also shares how B'nai B'rith is working to fight anti-Semitism and urges readers to become involved.
Comedian Eddie Cantor hosted a radio show and starred in some of the first movie musicals filmed in color, but it is less well-known that he was a B'nai B'rith member and passionate advocate against anti-Semitism. We document the ups and downs of his life, during which he repeatedly risked his career to stand against anti-Semites like Henry Ford and Charles Coughlin, in Eddie "Banjo Eyes" Cantor and B'nai B'rith.
Finally, our Seniors column urges Congress to find bipartisan ways to fix Affordable Care Act problems instead of doing away with the law altogether.
Read those stories and so much more in the spring issue of B'nai B'rith Magazine, available here.

B'nai B'rith World Center and Keren Kayemeth Leisrael to Hold A Unique Holocaust Remembrance Day Ceremony Marking the Heroism of Jewish Rescuers
Ceremony Dedicated to Rescue Efforts of the Jewish Defense Committee (CDJ) in Belgium
The B'nai B'rith World Center in Jerusalem and Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL-JNF) will hold, for the 17th consecutive year, a unique joint Holocaust commemoration ceremony on Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah, Thursday, May 2nd). This is the only event dedicated annually to commemorating the heroism of Jews who rescued fellow Jews during the Holocaust. Jerusalem-area schools and pre-army preparatory academies will attend the ceremony together with Jewish rescuers and survivors, and the Border Patrol will provide an honor guard. The ceremony will take place at the B'nai B'rith Martyr's Forest "Scroll of Fire" Plaza at 10:00 a.m. Israel time.
This year's ceremony will be dedicated to rescue efforts undertaken by the Jewish Defense Committee (CDJ). Speakers in the ceremony will be: Mr. Danny Atar, world chairman, Jewish National Fund; Dr. Haim V. Katz, chairman of the B'nai B'rith World Center-Jerusalem; Brigadier General Yehuda Yehoshua, commander of the Border Guard Combat Training Center; H.E. Olivier Belle, ambassador of Belgium to Israel; and Michel Werber, son of CDJ founding members Abusz and Shifra Werber.
The Jewish Defense Committee in Belgium was founded in September 1942 in reaction to the start of the deportation of Jews by the Gestapo in August 1942 in Brussels and Antwerp. The goal of the CDJ was to operate clandestinely to save as many Jews as possible. The CDJ united Jews from a broad ideological spectrum (including communists, revisionists, General Zionists, members of "Left Zion Workers", "Zionist Youth") and from different swathes of society (among them Belgian citizens and foreigners, secular and religious Jews and even some non-Jews, such as the teacher Andree Geulen) to engage in joint rescue operations. The CDJ urged Jews to disregard the orders of the local Judenrat – the AJB - and go underground instead, and also endeavored to win the support of the general public for persecuted Jews. Some of the CDJ members held positions in the AJB and secretly passed on vital information to foil the German's nefarious plans.
The committee managed to rescue 3,000-4,000 Jewish children – half of all the Jewish children who survived the Holocaust in Belgium – and provided life-saving assistance to 10,000 adults, including hiding places and forged documents. This activity endangered the lives of the CDJ members; some of them were captured, tortured and deported to concentration camps. Some did not survive. The CDJ operated as an adjunct of the "Independence Front" – the most significant resistance organization, founded in Belgium in March 1941, that united 17 different ideological and religious groups lead by the Communist Party in response to the German invasion of the USSR. At the time of the German invasion of Belgium – May 10, 1940 – 66,000 Jews lived in the country, of whom only 10 percent were Belgian citizens; 34,801 were arrested during the Holocaust (among them 5,092 children under the age of 16); 28,902 were murdered – 44 percent of the entire Jewish population in Belgium; 24,906 were imprisoned - usually for several days – at the transfer camp Mechelen-Malines and deported from there on 28 transports to Auschwitz beginning in summer 1942. Only 1,337 survived the camps.
The number of CDJ members reached 300. It operated an impressive administrative network to handle finance, forged papers and food coupons, clandestine press and concealment of children and adults. The department for forged papers was so successful that it also provided papers for non-Jews trying to avoid forced labor. The principal feature of CDJ – cooperation between groups across the ideological and political spectrum - was the basis of an organization unique in Western Europe. The main chapter of the committee was in Brussels. Other chapters were in Charleroi and Liege. In Antwerp, the committee was founded in 1943, when three independent groups started to collaborate. 55 percent of Belgian Jews survived thanks to the swift response of individuals who went underground independently, to the heroic operation of members of the CDJ and to the support of the local Belgian society at large, including many clergy. It should be noted that Jews also operated outside the CDJ in various resistance organizations in smuggling, intelligence, sabotage and clandestine press. The unequivocal conclusion resulting from the events in Belgium during the war is that passivity of the Jews facing the horrors of the Holocaust is a myth.
During the ceremony, the "Jewish Rescuers Citation" will be conferred on 11 leading members of the CDJ and four other rescuers who were active in Poland: David Ferdman, Hertz Jospa, Hava Jospa, Abraham Manaster, Chaim Pinkus Perelman, Fela Perelman, David Trocki-Muscnicki, Paulina Avstritski, Trocki-Muscnicki, Josef Sterngold, Abusz Werber, Shifra Werber and Shraga Dgani, Miriam-Mania Zeidman, Yaacov Segalchik, and Bela Yaari-Hazan. Since the establishment of the Jewish Rescuers Citation in 2011, nearly 270 heroes have been honored for rescue activities in Germany, France, Hungary, Greece, Slovakia, Yugoslavia, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Italy, Holland and Belgium.
The B'nai B'rith Martyr's Forest is the largest joint B'nai B'rith and KKL-JNF project, which memorializes the victims of the Holocaust with 6 million trees planted in the picturesque Jerusalem mountains near Moshav Kesalon. At the pinnacle of the forest stands the "Scroll of Fire," created by renowned sculptor Nathan Rapoport, which invokes the destruction of the Jewish people in the Holocaust and their redemption in the State of Israel. The event will commence with personal testimonies by Holocaust survivors to classes of soldiers and students.
The phenomena of Jewish rescue and the instructive stories of thousands of Jews who labored to save their endangered brethren throughout Europe have yet to receive appropriate public recognition and resonance. Many who could have tried to flee preferred to stay and rescue others; some paid for it with their lives. With great heroism, Jews in every country in occupied Europe employed subterfuge, forgery, smuggling, concealment and other methods to ensure that Jews survived the Holocaust, or assisted them in escaping to safe havens, and in doing so foiled the Nazi goal of total genocide against the Jews. The organizers of the ceremony view it as especially important to expose Jewish youth to these narratives as a model for Jewish solidarity and courage.

Eating Roman Mouse-on-a-Stick, Shakespeare's Tavern Bread, and Other Forgotten Culinary "Treats" From the Past
00:00 01:02:57
You and your ancestor from 1,000 years ago have almost nothing in common. Your clothes are different. Your worship rituals are different. Your thoughts about the opposite sex are definitely different. Almost the only similarity is that both of you are driven to obtain food. In fact, one could say that civilization itself began in the quest for food.
In this episode, Professor Ken Albala of the University of the Pacific puts the subject of food and its importance in history on the table. Ken has studied widely on the types of cuisine that would be featured at a Roman feast, a medieval banquet, or a Renaissance Italian civic celebration. He's ground Italian flour to make the sort of bread one would eat in Pompeii. He's made stewed rabbit in a homemade clay pot the way an Elizabethean peasant would. He hasn't tried field-mouse-on-a-stick (a popular Roman delicacy) but probably not for lack of trying.
We discuss how Roman food reflected social rank, wealth, and sophistication; why the Middle Ages produced some of history's most outlandish and theatrical presentations of food, such as gilded boars' heads, "invented" creatures, mixing parts of different animals; and cooked peacocks spewing flames; modern foody gastronomy; and finally, one of my favorite desserts, Turkish Chicken pudding.

The Heir: A Novel
by Barbara Taylor Bradford Barbara Taylor Bradford
At the age of thirty-three, Edward Deravenel, having survived harrowing years of betrayal, threats from ruthless enemies, countless lovers, and a war that ravaged his country, is finally king of his company. It's 1918, an influenza pandemic is sweeping the country, and Edward has a family and a business to protect. He must thread his way between his loyal brother, Richard, and his treacherous middle brother, George, an alcoholic bent on self-destruction . . . but not before he tries to ruin Edward and his good name. Meanwhile, the wrath of his ever-jealous wife, Elizabeth, is reaching a boiling point as suspicions about Edward's relationships with other women arise.
Politics of inheritance are intense, and different family factions vie for honor over the years. An heir is needed to keep the Deravenel name alive, but tragedy and death remain obstacles at every turn. The choices include a loyal caretaker, a jealous rumormonger, a charming young woman, a sickly boy, and the scion of the family Edward ousted from power years before.
Barbara Taylor Bradford triumphs once again with a novel about passion, treachery, marriage, and family, and the compromises we're forced to make for power and love.

What Bella Hadid learnt about fashion by working with Chrome Hearts
By Fabio Immediato 15 May 2017
We found out
One of the biggest events this season during Paris Fashion Week was the launch party for Bella Hadid's collaboration with Los Angeles-based accessories label Chrome Hearts. The collection will retail at Selfridges Oxford Street in London. Vogue caught up with the supermodel on playing designer.
How did the collection come about? The whole collection is very much my style, and very much Chrome Hearts but a lot more modern. The collection came about as a result of a very long friendship that me and Jesse Jo Stark (the designer) have. I have learned a lot from Jesse and the Starks (owners), not only on the design process but also what it takes to get to the final product. We have all grown together.
Do you have a favourite piece from the collection? The leopard print bondage coat—it's my little baby. It has gone through a lot of production.
What was the biggest challenge? Not being able to be there all the time. I work a lot in Europe and New York and they are in Los Angeles and we would Skype a lot. Jesse instinctively knew what I would want and like, so made it a lot easier. Also timing was very difficult, we had about six months with production to make it all work.
What were your references when working on the line? I got a lot a lot of inspiration from Chrome Hearts itself, particularly their '80s and '90s archives. Mostly '90s street style-inspired but elevated to the Chrome Hearts level, which is so iconic. I want people to feel badass when they wear it.
Will there be another collection? We really want to do shoes and jewellery and the next thing will be eyewear.

Verizon Wireless to pay $3.6 billion for cable spectrum
By: SBN Staff | 6:06pm EST December 2, 2011
NEW YORK ― Verizon Wireless plans to pay $3.6 billion for wireless airwaves from a venture of cable companies Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable Inc. and privately held Bright House Networks.
The deal, which includes the option for cable companies to resell Verizon Wireless service, comes as Verizon's biggest rival AT&T Inc is facing regulatory opposition for its proposed plan to buy T-Mobile USA.
Both Verizon Wireless and AT&T, the No. 1 and No. 2 U.S. mobile providers, are trying to improve their network capacity to support increased consumer demand for services such as mobile web browsing on devices like tablet computers.
Analysts said it made sense for Verizon to take the chance to get a deal done while AT&T is tied up with efforts to seek approval for its T-Mobile USA deal but some wondered why the cable operators did not wait.
"It looks like a great deal for Verizon," said Pacific Crest analyst Steve Clement. "You'd think from the cable guys' perspective if you wait a little longer there's more bidders — potentially AT&T and maybe T-Mobile USA."
Comcast said, however, that the deal represented a 64 percent premium over the $2.2 billion price the cable consortium paid in 2006 for the wireless spectrum being sold to Verizon Wireless.
Another analyst saw the development of a reseller deal with Verizon Wireless as a strategy about-face for the cable operators, which compete with Verizon and AT&T in home telephone, Internet and television services.
"The biggest surprise is that it aligns the cable companies with Verizon, one of their fiercest competitors," said Mizuho analyst Michael Nelson. "The primary reason the cable companies formed this consortium and acquired this spectrum was to compete better with Verizon and AT&T."
The cable operators already resell wireless services in some markets using the network of Clearwire Corp, their venture with No. 3 U.S. mobile service Sprint Nextel.

Home News Covid commission chief distances himself from leaked report on massive gas expansion
Covid commission chief distances himself from leaked report on massive gas expansion
The former Fortescue Metals chief running Scott Morrison's Covid-19 coordination commission, Nev Power, has distanced himself from a controversial leaked report recommending Australian taxpayers underwrite a massive expansion of the domestic gas industry.
Appearing on Thursday before a Senate committee, Power said the report, revealed by Guardian Australia late last month, should not be considered the view of the National Covid-19 Coordination Commission. He intimated the report was a draft from the manufacturing taskforce that had been superseded by later advice.
The leaked report from the taskforce headed by Andrew Liveris, a former Dow Chemical executive and current Saudi Aramco board member, recommended the government underwrite an increased national gas supply, that government agencies partner with companies to accelerate development of new fields such as the Northern Territory's vast Beetaloo Basin, and states introduce subsidy schemes for gas-fired power plants.
It also proposed a role for government in helping develop gas pipelines between eastern states and the north, and potentially a $6bn trans-Australian pipeline between the east and west, by either taking an equity position, minority share or underwriting investments.
But Power told the Senate inquiry the commission was not recommending the government subsidise gas.
He did indicate, however, that the commission was looking at subsidised infrastructure. "The commission is not recommending any subsidised delivery of gas or any other energy system, but we have talked about the provision of infrastructure to reduce the costs of transportation and deliver lower costs," the NCCC chairman said.
Power's role leading the NCCC has raised concerns among a range of civil society groups about potential conflicts of interest because the commission has heavily promoted gas development as a way to boost economic growth after the coronavirus crisis. The escalating public controversy about commercial conflicts prompted Power to step aside from his position as deputy chairman of a gas company, Strike Energy.
The NCCC chairman told Thursday's hearing he stood by his view "that we should be looking at competitive gas supply for its potential as a raw material for both existing and new manufacturing industry to preserve and create jobs". He said he agreed with Alan Finkel, the chief scientist, "that there is a role for gas in firming up renewables as we transition to lower emissions".
But Power acknowledged there was a "perceived conflict", given his corporate interests.
He said he had not attended a board meeting of Strike Energy since he joined the commission and "I have not voted on any operational or strategic matters and will not while I am at the NCCC". But in response to questions from the Labor senator Murray Watt, Power said he "probably" was still being paid a director's fee.
Asked whether the development of a trans-continental pipeline would benefit Strike Energy, an oil and gas exploration company, Power replied "no, not necessarily".
Power was asked to confirm whether he remained a shareholder in Fortescue, and whether the proposed pipeline would benefit that company. He confirmed he remained a shareholder in Fortescue, and he acknowledged that FMG had lobbied for a trans-continental gas pipeline when he was the chief executive. But Power said Fortescue would not benefit from the pipeline now, because it had not developed gas interests.
Asked whether he had recused himself from discussions among commissioners about developing gas as part of the Covid-19 recovery, Power replied: "No, I haven't."
In response to questions about his remuneration, Power confirmed he was being paid $267,345 to cover his expenses. He said the money was paid into a trust, and he said the trust paid tax in according with tax office rules. Officials from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet said Power was not required to keep receipts to demonstrate expenses.
Power commutes to Canberra on a private aircraft. He told the hearing he piloted the plane, and had periodically given Perth-based government ministers a ride home to the west during the Covid crisis. He had sought and been granted an exemption for travel, because WA has closed the border. Power was also granted an exemption to fly to Queensland to manage his private agricultural interests.
Malcolm Thompson, the deputy chief executive officer of the NCCC, told the hearing commissioners had procedures to declare conflicts of interest. At a hearing of the Senate committee in mid-May, NCCC officials said Liveris was not required to make a disclosure because he was an adviser to the commission, not a commissioner.
But on Thursday, Thompson told the committee Liveris had now been required to make a conflict of interest declaration. He said declarations had also been sought from the chair and all the members of an industrial relations taskforce appended to the commission.
Thompson also indicated the budget for the NCCC had increased from $3m to $5.4m.

Q: MySQL - MIN / MAX I have a field in my database which can contain either a number e.g. 8.00 or range number e.g. 8.00 - 10.00.
I need to get the MIN() and the MAX() from the table if you take each number as a separate number. e.g. when a range is 8.00 - 10.00 the MIN is 8.00 and the MAX is 10.00
Example:
PRICE: 2.00-4.00
PRICE: 2.00-10.00
PRICE: 3.00
PRICE: 8.00

MIN = 2.00
MAX = 10.00

Can any one help?
Thanks

A: You can use substring_index and union
select min(col),
max(col)
from (
select
substring_index(PRICE,'-',1) * 1 col
 from Table1
union
select
substring_index(PRICE,'-',-1) * 1 col2
from Table1
  ) t

Demo

A: You should normalize your database to 3NF or BCNF in order to avoid further problems. But if you're just curious about what's in your database you may try this query:
Query
SELECT
  MIN(TRIM(CASE WHEN INSTR(val, "-") > 0 THEN SUBSTRING(val, 1, INSTR(val, "-")-1) ELSE val END)) min,
  MAX(TRIM(CASE WHEN INSTR(val, "-") > 0 THEN SUBSTRING(val,    INSTR(val, "-")+1) ELSE val END)) max
FROM test;

Example output
+-------+-------+
| min   | max   |
+-------+-------+
| 1.00  | 30.00 |
+-------+-------+


Campaign is run by Travel Michigan under the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
A TV commercial pitching the Upper Peninsula as an adventurer's destination leads Pure Michigan's latest national advertising push.
The campaign run by Travel Michigan under the Michigan Economic Development Corp. launched a series of ads Monday, according to a news release. They'll run through early June on 15 national cable channels, on streaming services and in some smaller markets.
With a splash of a kayaker's paddle, the jostling of a mountain bike on rough terrain and other outdoor scenes, Pure Michigan highlights the U.P. for out-of-state travelers. The new ad features Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Tahquamenon Falls and other destinations.
The budget for this round of advertising is $9.8 million, with $2.9 million of that coming from national advertising partners. The U.P. spot, Heart Rate, will run alongside other ads depicting the mitten state as ideal for road trips, golfing, fishing and agritourism. There are also local-centric ads for Traverse City, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and the Great Lakes Bay Region.
"We are continuing to evolve the campaign to inspire travel to, and within, the state using both traditional marketing methods, but also looking to new trends and technology to amplify the message about the opportunities for the perfect summer vacation or getaway in Michigan," Dave Lorenz, vice president of Travel Michigan, said in the release. He said U.P. destinations may still be considered "hidden gems" to tourists.
In August, the MEDC extended its contracts with advertising agency McCann to operate Pure Michigan. They run October 2018-September 2020 — $25.5 million per year for tourism marketing and $7.8 million per year contract for business marketing.
It spent $16.5 million in 2018 on ads outside the state, according to an impact measurement report by Indianapolis-based SMARInsights released in February. That's up just slightly from $16.4 million in 2017. It saw a return on investment of $9.28 in tax revenue per dollar in 2018, up from $8.99 in 2017, the report said. SMARInsights also suggested moving some regional funding to other markets as regional markets' levels of awareness are "near saturation."
Pure Michigan launched in 2006. It has been the target of critics in recent years, including the Midland-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy, over its estimated return on investment.

Inter Valley Health Plan has contracts with hundreds of pharmacies in our service area. We call pharmacies on the list "network pharmacies" because we have made arrangements with these pharmacies to provide prescription coverage to our Plan members. In most cases, your prescriptions are covered under Inter Valley Health Plan only if they are filled at a network pharmacy or through our mail order pharmacy service.
We also have contracts with pharmacies outside our service area where you can fill your prescriptions. However, we only cover drugs filled at an out-of-network pharmacy in limited circumstances when access to an in-network is not available. You may have to pay more than your normal cost-sharing amount. Before you fill a prescription out-of-network, please call our Pharmacy Department at (800)523-3142.


There are 'just' 121 bedrooms in a horseshoe-shaped building around the outside pool and lawn area. The rooms are cool and contemporary, and feel almost urban with tasteful dark wood panels, patterned carpets and brightly coloured bed runners.
The hotel's restaurant, 'Red Salt' serves contemporary cuisine and plenty of fresh sea food with regional flavours. The ocean front setting with large picture windows highlight the stunning location of this property. There is also a sushi bar and lunch is available poolside.
The kidney-shaped pool has plenty of sun loungers surrounding it, and there is a beach bar serving snacks and cocktails - we seriously recommend trying the frozen Coconut Mojito.
Poipu Beach across the road is a good spot for surfers and paddle boarders. There is a small activities hut at the hotel where you can rent equipment and book lessons for both. For relaxation the Spa offers five treatment rooms, and an extensive range of treatments all using natural island ingredients such as seaweed, coconut and pineapple.

Have your say on mechanical restraint
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this consultation.
The consultation period is now over, so keep an eye out for more on how we're responding to your thoughts on mechanical restraint.
Restraint is a really sensitive topic. When we talk about restraint, we usually think about someone being held down. But 'restraint' can also mean 'restrictive interventions'.
These can be anything that restricts somebody's movement and may include things like medication/rapid tranquilisation, being held or secluded.
Restraint is NEVER our first option. In the first instance, our approach is to use techniques that prevent, de-escalate and manage behaviour of concern. However, there may be times when people with certain mental health conditions or difficulties may react to distressing or confusing situations in ways that are harmful to themselves or others. In situations like this, there may be the need to use restraint to protect them and to keep them and others safe.
One way NAViGO staff are trained to keep individuals safe that may be trying to hurt themselves, or are having thoughts to, is to use a 'physical restraint' - a safe, ethical method which involves body parts of the at risk individual being physically held, to keep them safe. This often requires three (or more) staff members to carry out. It can be used while the service user is lying down, sitting or standing. But never face down to ensure safety.
Even if a restraint is taking place it will always be for the shortest amount of time possible while other de-escalation techniques are applied. Both NAViGO and RESPECT have an ethos of 'No Pain, No Panic' when restraint is required. All of the techniques and restraints that are used are biomechanically and psychologically risk-assessed.
So, why are we talking about restraint?
NAViGO and RESPECT Training are currently considering introducing soft cuffs – a type of mechanical restraint - as an option for people who may need to be restrained. And we'd like to know your thoughts.
We really believe that the people who use our services should help shape and develop them for both themselves and other service users.
We held a number of consultation sessions in January where you could share your thoughts and ask questions.
We also thought it may be helpful to provide you with some useful questions and answers to give you more detail.
What is mechanical restraint?
Mechanical restraint is when a device is used to restrict movement.
You may be picturing a big machine holding somebody down, a straitjacket or leather belts on a bed, this is not what we are talking about.
We are talking about a fabric, Velcro system called soft cuffs. These cuffs can be placed on someone's wrists and/or legs to aid a restraint and keep people safe in exceptional circumstances.
Soft cuffs are lightweight, more flexible and less restrictive than metal or rigid handcuffs.
Why are NAViGO considering mechanical restraint?
We are looking at introducing soft cuffs as an option for some people who may need to be restrained.
In an ideal world, we would like to never restrain, however, when people are unwell there are occasions when other de-escalation skills don't work and people need to be restrained for their safety and the safety of others.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend that restraint last for no more than 10 minutes before alternatives are considered. At times, one of these alternatives may be to call the police if we are unable to keep everybody safe. The police use metal handcuffs that may cause bruising and focus on criminality rather than illness.
We hope that for some people, the introduction of soft cuffs may reduce the need for police intervention and keep your, your friends and family's care within NAViGO – specialists in providing mental health services.
How would mechanical restraint be used?
Mechanical restraint would only ever be used as a last resort to keep people safe.
This means that we would try and manage difficult situations using a variety of other de-escalation strategies first.
Mechanical restraint would be used for the least amount of time possible with strict decision making from senior staff members and accountability surrounding their use.
We operate an ethos of 'no pain, no panic'. This would also apply if we were to use soft cuffs. RESPECT techniques would be adapted to ensure that the use of soft cuffs is comfortable and pain free.
We really value our environments and want to manage situations calmly and quickly to benefit everybody involved, using soft cuffs may allow staff to de-escalate situations quickly and safely.
What are the benefits of mechanical restraint?
Using mechanical restraint may mean that there is less need to transfer service users to Psychiatric Intensive Care Units or seek police intervention.
Mechanical restraint may reduce the potential for injury to staff or service users if there is a restraint taking place.
NAViGO are aware that for some people being restrained on the floor by three or four adults could re-ignite past trauma. Mechanical restraint or soft cuffs may be an alternative for these people.
Mechanical restraint may also allow touch support - whereone or two staff members gently place a hand on a service user to stop them hurting themselves, allowing greater space given to service users to help them regulate.
This could be for people who have had surgery and were trying to hurt themselves by not allowing their wound to heal, for people who are very distressed and need restraining but have said in advance that they may prefer the use of soft cuffs over three or four staff members holding them down to the floor.
Are there any concerns about mechanical restraint? And how will you minimise them?
We understand that people may have concerns or be worried about the use of mechanical restraint.
The two main worries are that they would be used too often and that people would be left in them for a long time.
Mechanical restraint would only be used:
If there was an advanced directive given. That means that a service user had a conversation when they were well and decided that they would prefer mechanical restraint to be used. This request would then be taken to the board for approval and reviewed regularly or
In emergency situations where there would be a core team of senior RESPECT instructors who would be responsible for making the decision as to whether mechanical restraint could be used.
This would mean that it is not purely a decision that can be made by those working on the wards and we would need to evidence that we have tried other ways to manage and de-escalate a situation first.
Any use of mechanical restraint would be presented to the NAViGO board. We also understand that emergency situations may arise which would mean a decision by the board couldn't happen in advance. In this case, a senior manager would be part of the decision making process, along with senior RESPECT instructors and there would be a presentation to the board within 12 hours of the agreement to use mechanical restraint.
This means that people, independent from the direct delivery of care would review and make sure the decision was appropriate.
If somebody was placed in mechanical restraints they would never be left alone. Somebody would either be in arms reach or eyesight at all times. This means that they would be able to offer emotional support and be able to remove the restraints as soon as it was safe to do so.
Observations would also be made to ensure that the service user was physically well while being restrained.
Are any other types of mechanical restraint being considered?
NAViGO and RESPECT are reviewing lots of options to ensure service user safety and comfort during restraint and when in distress but soft cuffs are the only form of mechanical restraint that is being considered.
Has any consultation or research about the use of mechanical restraint been done so far?
So far, we have had meetings with other organisations who use mechanical restraint to find out how they work in real life settings.
We have purchased a set of soft cuffs so that we can look and feel them to help us think of how they may be used to support service users.
We have had a demonstration on the use of soft cuffs and NAViGO community representatives have tried these and shared their thoughts.
We have completed a video and presentation to staff members to show them our ideas, gained their views and answered their questions.
NAViGO's Professor Zaffer Iqbal will be assessing any psychological impacts of soft cuffs.
Will the use of mechanical restraint change the RESPECT Training programme?
Our RESPECT service train lots of organisations, not only NAViGO. Many of these mental health providers already use mechanical restraints.
RESPECT feel that it would be beneficial to incorporate mechanical restraint into the training package for areas who require this. This would mean that services who choose to use RESPECT training could receive support around mechanical restraints alongside de-escalation skills, restraint methods and, importantly, we can continue to share our values and ethos with more organisations.
It is really important to us that you shape our services. We value your input and would appreciate your thoughts on the use of soft cuffs.
Our consultation sessions are now over, but you can still email us at NAV.RespectTraining@nhs.net if you would like to get in touch.

Before the preview showing of Come From Away even started we were welcomed into the cosy Comedy Theatre: refurbished with gorgeous blue curtains that matched the Come From Away logo, and a stage perfect for performance. Audience members took the chance to chat a little with one another, and the show's spirit makes its mark before the actors even take the stage. The production team – Christopher Ashley (director), Luke Hunter (musical director) and Kelly Devine (musical staging) – should be more than proud of themselves for creating something which arguably exceeds the Broadway cast recording.
Come From Away is an exploration of community and hope. Taking place in Gander, Newfoundland, the musical tells the true stories of 38 diverted planes on September 11 2001 and the days that followed. The Melbourne show's 12 person cast delves into a series of characters – townsfolk and plane people – who share fears and hopes alike. The show will make you laugh and cry.
It's hard to single out any one actor for their performance. Each holds themselves with strength, matching notes and providing comedic undertones. The accents were crisp and replicate that of the original soundtrack, and the singing flowed easily with the right amount of stressing and emotion.
Holding the passion and fear of the storyline the most is Sarah Morrison's Janice, the only reporter in Gander. Morrison is powerful and passionate. This is another incredible role for her, and one that she has made her own.
Particularly charming was Emma Powell's Beulah, whose comedic timing was honest and pure. Further, Nicholas Brown's ability to switch between a number of characters was both riveting and chilling. Brown's character complexity and care was so soft, you almost don't notice how seamless and careful his performance is. It's divine.
This care follows into every aspect of the show. The set is simple but gorgeous: trees and a collection of mismatched chairs open the scene. Beowulf Boritt's set designing has done the Comedy Theatre justice. But as the show continues, you are met with the use of a turntable enhancing the staging and choreography tenfold. The actors moved in time, captivating audience members. The set and use of stage was incredible, and I was glad to see members of the orchestra fully immersed in the beauty sitting on slightly visible on stage. I wish this was more common in musical theatre.
Howell Binkley's lighting decisions were also particularly thrilling. Throughout the show the light complimented each performance, changing and striking with the sounds and lighting up the night with stars that glow as much as the ones on stage.
I would love to see more experimentation within this show as it continues to take hold on the world – something that may be seen with future amateur productions when the rights exist. But for now they create a beautiful performance, the cast working perfectly together on the stage. You are given the space to feel all kinds of emotions.
Come From Away was beautiful. You'll be listening to the soundtrack for days afterwards and plotting trips to Canada in no time. A standing ovation before opening night, all the teams that brought this show to life should be proud of their work.
Do not miss this show.
Come From Away is running until September 22 2019 at the Melbourne Comedy Theatre.
