THE campaign to have a sugar tax imposed on sugary drinks as one step towards beating Australia's obesity crisis has won a significant new ally this week. In a submission to a Senate inquiry into Australia's obesity epidemic, the National Rural Health Alliance not only advocated the sugary drinks tax but also called for greater restrictions on marketing unhealthy food to children, including a ban on free to air TV advertising until after 9.30pm. Crucially, the alliance is a heavy hitter in national health circles. It represents 35 national organisations working across the rural and remote health sector including Australian icons such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Country Women's Association of Australia, National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) and RACGP Rural. So when it enters a public policy debate, it does so with the benefit of real world experience of what health professionals are encountering, particularly in the bush. But that does not make its recommendations any less contentious as part of a debate that has been pitched as "nanny state" versus "freedom of choice". The problem is, too many families have shown they are too ready to make poor choices and there is both an individual and national cost to that. Australia today is showing a disturbing trend where obesity rates have doubled in young children aged two to five over the last 20 years. When we consider that 63 per cent of adults and 27 per cent of children are overweight or obese, the lack of a national strategy to address obesity is all the more disappointing. The Senate inquiry will no doubt make its recommendations towards such a strategy but it is going to take concrete measures rather than simple mission statements to make a difference. A sugar tax is by no means a magic bullet, but it would be both of those things. In one piece of legislation the government could make an important statement on our intention to fight the obesity crisis and also enforce a change of buying behaviour – in some, at least. Our experience with cigarettes has shown that no matter the price there will always be a market, but that market has dwindled in recent years. Sugar might be this country's next nicotine. It will be a long fight to beat obesity, but every small step will help.

Q: How to swap value pairs restricted by unique index We have a Hibernate-based (33.) web application and are finding an issue related to swapping datavalue pairs restricted by a unique index. In our flightticket HBM we have
<many-to-one name="participants" class="net.umbrella.entity.ParticipantModel" fetch="select">
    <column name="PARTICIPANTID" not-null="false" />
</many-to-one>
<many-to-one name="flights" class="net.umbrella.entity.FlightModel" fetch="select">
    <column name="FLIGHTID" not-null="true" />
</many-to-one>

It is functionally possible to take a data pair with ticket A assigned to participant P1 plus ticket B assigned to participant P2 and swap the two participants. Ticket A would end up assigned to participant P2, ticket B would be assigned to participant P1. However, FLIGHTID + PARTICIPANTID have a unique constraint.
When Hibernate issues the first update to change participant P1 to P2 on ticket A, a GenericJDBCException is thrown
Attempt to insert duplicate key row in object 'FLIGHTTICKET' with unique index 'IDX_FLIGHTTICKET_UQ'

Does anyone have a common solution to this?
Thanks
Simon

A: So, you have something like this:
Participant temp = pair1.getParticipant();
pair1.setParticipant(pair2.getParticipant());
pair2.setParticipant(temp);

Instead, just do the following:
Participant temp1 = pair1.getParticipant();
Participant temp2 = pair2.getParticipant();
pair2.setParticipant(null);
session.flush();
pair1.setParticipant(temp2);
pair2.setParticipant(temp1);

The intermediate flush will make sure only one pair at a time references a participant.

Dr Deirdre O'Mahony
Research Degree Title
New Ecologies between Rural Life and Visual Culture in the West of Ireland: History, Context, Position, and Art Practice.
PJ Seddon
AJ Wilson
Aims of Investigation
Examine the psychological legacy of the use of images of the of the west of Ireland landscape as signifier of a distinct and differentiated, uniquely Irish cultural identity in the formative years of the Irish State, and its effect in the contemporary post agricultural, context of the 21st century.
Compile an archive of information related to contemporary land use specific to local habitats in the North Clare region of the west of Ireland. Use this archive as a matrix from which to develop an ecology of practice shaped by reflection, doubt and contradiction.
Evolve a forum and network for critical analysis of socially engaged, local, sustainable art practice in rural contexts through the Shifting Ground Partnership project, conference and seminars http://www.shiftingground.net/ and develop a curatorial practice which represents this critical position.
Produce a body of work for public exhibition which serves to interrogate the picturesque from a contemporary perspective through the representation of hidden narratives of contemporary land use and environmental degradation, the fragile, abject, hidden 'other' face of landscape.
Abstract/ Research Questions:
Can a mode of trans-disciplinary visual inquiry shifting and subjective, serve as an enquiry into location, an interrogation into the mechanics of belonging, and a reflection upon the bottom up - local/rural to the national/global?
The answer to this question is focussed at the X-PO project, which seeks to extend this discourse into the stresses affecting the social ecology of a local community, particularly regarding the relationship between locals and incomers. By renovating and creating this resource/space my intention is to allow for reflection and consideration about ways in which to move on from the legacy of conflict. This surfaced during a long divisive and bitter environmental dispute, fifteen years ago, at a local mountain called Mullochmore. Representations of the west as romantic, sacred 'other,' neutered heritage, detached and dislocated from the complex realities of rural life further complicate matters. This resurfaces regularly in media representations of the west as a rustic, 'authentic', uniquely Irish, space.
The opportunity to rent a defunct post office in the parish of Kilnaboy offered a uniquely relevant site for this research. The rural post-office used to represent a community contact point. The one at Kilnaboy was run by a man called Mattie Rynne, short-wave radio enthusiast and self-taught linguist, and was permanently closed in 2002. My project has documented and archived the contents of this site: empty and derelict since closure and beginning the process of creating a local history archive. The space, now open and functioning, is in active use for arts led projects and community events, providing a laboratory/testing ground for the arguments of the thesis.
The thesis describes and sets this project into a context, one that reflects upon histories, contexts, positions and socially engaged arts practices of both local and wider significance. The issues raised in the thesis and its arguments cover post agricultural practices such as the shift to the tourist, heritage and leisure industries and the impact of this in social and ecological terms. It is a central argument of this thesis that expanded and inclusive definitions of arts practices play a key role in this new formation.
The physical demonstration of this body of work (the thesis) will take the form of an archive /set of documentation using video, paintings photographs and found objects together with a written text providing a critical account/argument of the role of socially engaged 'activist' arts practice in a unique and specific site.

'A Call to Action': New Research Finds Extremely High Rates of Investigations of Black, Brown and Native Families
November 03, 2021 by Rise
Parents at Rise have long documented how the family policing system affects Black and brown people living in low-income areas of NYC. In July, a team of researchers from Duke University and Rutgers University published the study, "Contact with Child Protective Services is pervasive but unequally distributed by race and ethnicity in large US counties." As its title suggests, the paper finds that the system impacts the lives of far too many Black and brown families.
Dr. Frank Edwards, an assistant professor at Rutgers University's School of Criminal Justice who studies race and state violence, policing and family separation, was part of the team that worked on this study. Here, he discusses their findings in NYC and nationally, mandated reporting, investigations and why he is an abolitionist.
