Social inclusion is a beautiful thing. Wouldn't it be nice to be part of a society where every member of a community would have access to the same privileges, regardless of their social status, physical or mental impairments? Unfortunately, for many people out there, that's not the case.
Most of the time, these valued members of our society don't feel a sense of belonging, since their communities are not very welcoming to their disabilities, making it hard for them to fully integrate and leaving them on the sidelines.
In a bid to making some of their parks more inclusive and accessible to people with physical disabilities, the Parks and Recreation Department of Fort Smith, Arkansas, held a public hearing for the community to voice their opinions.
Keley Simpson, a missions facilitator with the First Presbyterian Church, was attending the public meeting when she saw a man with his son in a wheelchair, where he shared that his son had never experienced what was like to be in a park swing. His story deeply touched Ms. Simpson.
The church she works for was looking to find a way to give back to the community and recognize all people with disabilities. Donating a wheelchair swing to be installed at one of the city's parks seemed to be the right thing to do.
Once the wheelchair accessible park swing was installed, kids that would just normally be watching other children have fun in it, would now finally be able to join in!
One of these fortunate kids is Seth Allen. He has cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy and microcephaly from a stroke had as an infant. His doctors said he would live in a vegetative state, but Seth would prove everyone wrong. His parents work a great deal to make the world accessible to for their 10-year-old.
Seth's happiness can be seen in a video his mom, Trish Allen, shared as he enjoyed the swing for the first time. It's clear he is having so much fun and his laugh is contagious. The video got over a hundred thousand shares so far.
"He wasn't sure what to think because he had no experience with anything like this before," Trish said. "We put him on it and as you can see in the video, he was excited," Trish said to KFSM.
Seth's parents hope this great initiative leads the way for more public parks to become more inclusive to people with disabilities.

US Mainstream Media Unwittingly Plunges Into "Trump Trap"—Learns "Art Of War" Is Real
May 20, 2017 Sorcha Faal Donald Trump, Fake News, Sorcha Faal, Yellow Journalism
SUN TZU ON THE ART OF WAR
A fascinating Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today on the Syrian deconfliction talks currently ongoing between the Ministry of Defense (MoD) and the US Department of Defense (DoD) reveals an astonishing exchange between the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu wherein it was revealed that President Donald Trump has been employing the tactics of the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu against the American mainstream propaganda media in order to destroy them—and all of whom have now unwittingly plunged into what is being described by some members of the SC as the "Trump Trap". [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]
According to this report, in knowing that he could very likely win the 2016 US presidential election against his "deeply flawed" opponent Hillary Clinton, but also knowing it would ignite a "Deep State" backlash against him, then billionaire businessman Trump, on 17 August, appointed as the chief executive of his presidential campaign a former US Navy officer named Steve Bannon—whose meteoritic rise through the business and banking worlds is credited by his near single-minded devotion to Sun Tzu's 5th century military treatise "Art Of War", whose governing precept is: "All warfare is based on deception".
Steve Bannon (left), Sun Tzu (center) and President Trump (right)
Once taking control of Trump's presidential campaign, this report continues, Bannon became aware that the Obama regime was spying on Trump and his associates—while at the same time leaking this secret information to the US mainstream propaganda media—with his (Bannon's) greatest fears being that Trump's extensive ties with China was the greatest danger to derailing his campaign.
Using the "Art Of War" precept "Even though you are competent, appear incompetent. Though effective, appear ineffective.", however, this report notes, Bannon, in a effort to keep concealed Trump's extensive ties with China prior to the election, embarked on a deliberate misinformation campaign "suggesting/misleading" the "Deep State" aligned mainstream propaganda media into believing Trump had ties with Russia instead—a misdirection US journalists were highly susceptible too as recently revealed in a study conducted by neuroscientist Tara Swift and the London Press Club that determined "the highest functions of journalists brains were operating at a lower level than the average population, due to dehydration, self-medicating, and fueling their brains with caffeine and high-sugar foods".
Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005): American journalist and author, and the founder of the gonzo journalism movement.
In Bannon knowing that any investigation into Trump's ties with Russia would show nothing because they have never existed, this report explains, he and his White House associates have, nevertheless, continued a steady stream of "suggestive" leaks to the US mainstream propaganda media fueling the "fake news" Russian hysteria meme—that only abated yesterday when Bannon and his closest aides left Washington D.C. with President Trump on an international travel trip.
So masterful, in fact, has Bannon's Russian hysteria meme been in misdirecting the mind addled [unable to think clearly; confused] US mainstream propaganda media, this report says, this past week he was even able to get them to praise the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller to investigate Trump's supposed Russian ties—that was accomplished with help from China and Mueller's global law firm WilmerHale—who, also, represent Trump's daughter Ivanka, her husband Jared Kushner and Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort.
The only "crack/fissure" to appear so far in Bannon's Russian hysteria meme, this report explains, occurred this past week when one of the US mainstream propaganda media's most respected leftist journalists named Matt Taibbi noticed the complete lack of any evidence supporting any Trump ties with Russia—and who wrote: "Liberal thinkers have traditionally abhorred secret courts, secret surveillance and secret evidence, and in the past would have reflexively discouraged the news media from printing the unverified or unverifiable charges emanating from such secret sources. But because it's Donald Trump, no one seems to care. What's at the heart of this case? Why can't we be told what's going on?"
Echoing Matt Taibbi's growing concerns of any evidence to support the Trump-Russia meme, this report further notes, is the highly respected former CIA and US military intelligence officer Philip Giraldi—who wrote that "the investigation into Russia and the Trumpsters has been a high priority at FBI and also in Congress for nearly a year…yet so far no one has produced evidence that anyone broke any law or even that someone did something wrong"—and who further questioned why Obama's former CIA Director John Brennan has not been questioned by anyone with Giraldi stating: "While former FBI Director James Comey, current NSA Director Mike Rogers, and former Justice Department senior official Sally Yates have all appeared once, Brennan's absence is conspicuous as he was the senior national security official most closely tied to the Obama Administration, may have had the tools at hand to fake the Russian connection, and has also been plausibly linked to "encouraging" British Intelligence to provide damaging information on Michael Flynn".
With the entire American "Deep State" mainstream propaganda media apparatus having now plunged into Bannon's "Art Of War" "Trump Trap" by their historic negative coverage of President Trump due to the entirely fictional Russian hysteria meme, this report says, a just released Harvard University study is now showing, too, that the anti-Trump coverage of these media charlatans now exceeds over 85%–with CNN and NBCastoundedly airing on an hourly basis 93% negative coverage of America's new leader.
By Bannon's employing his Trump-Russia meme using the "Art Of War" precept "the business of the general is quiet and secret…his plans are calm and deeply hidden, so no one can figure them out…secrecy and misdirection are essential arts" too, this report explains, once the American people discover that their mainstream propaganda media have been lying to them about Trump's supposed Russian ties, their "faith/belief" in these leftist news organizations will collapse entirely—and with just 6% of these people saying they trust the media now, will leave them in total trust of President Trump above his "Deep State" enemies.
Also astounding to notice about Bannon's "Art Of War" strategy to protect President Trump, this report continues, is that not only is this ancient military strategy about to destroy the leftist US mainstream propaganda media, it's now the main operational tactic of Trump's foreign policy—and as, perhaps, best articulated by the noted American scholar Dr. Patrick Basham who wrote:
"Trump's foreign policy twists and turns actually channel Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." This Chinese classic, studied since ancient times, is the world's seminal guide to political and military strategy. The "Art of War" resonates today because Sun Tzu formulated his ideas in an environment characterized by ever-shifting patterns of alliance, the destabilization of interstate relationships, and warfare among aspirants to hegemony."
And in following Bannon's "Art Of War" strategy in his foreign policy too, this report notes, President Trump is even today in Saudi Arabia to conclude what will be the largest arms deal in American history valued at over $350 billion during the next 10 years—that if successful will remake the entire Middle East, but if fails could actually ignite World War III.
This report concludes by noting that even though Bannon's "Art Of War" strategy has, indeed, unleashed a US mainstream propaganda media onslaught of historic proportions against President Trump, his approval rating remains at 44% of Americans who support him, with 96% of those who voted him into office, also, saying they would do so again.

President Trump Given Final "Deep State" Warning: "We Are Going To Kill This Guy"

According to this report, barely a fortnight after Rush Limbaugh (the most listened to radio broadcaster in all the US) warned that his sources were telling him that the "Deep State" was recruiting retired US military generals to lead a coup against President Trump, a "Deep State" operative named Philip Mudd, just yesterday, loudly proclaimed on the CNN news programme The Lead With Jack Tapper that his forces were preparing to kill America's new leader. Philip Mudd, this report details, is an ex-deputy director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center who, in 2005, was appointed by then FBI Director Robert Mueller to serve as the first-ever deputy director of that intelligence agencies newly established National Security Branch—with Robert Mueller, also, being the Special Prosecutor appointed to lead the "Deep States" Russia hysteria "witch hunt" against President Trump.

Alfalfa, small grains (for hay), onions, carrots, peaches, pears and nectarines are all grown commercially in the High Desert. Cherries, apples and grapes are also grown commercially, but on a small scale. Alfalfa has been the main crop of the High Desert for many decades.
Unfortunately, the intense irrigation increased the salinity of the topsoil, making it no longer fit for the growing of crops. This seems to have contributed to the abandonment of the canals and the adoption of Ak-Chin farming.
The best time to plant perennials, shrubs and trees is during the fall and early winter. This gives plants time to establish a healthy root system and build energy for the growing season. Annuals are best sown or planted from October to late November.
How to keep plants alive in this blistering summer heat
Water deep.
But don't overwater.
No water in the sun.
Set up some shade.
Don't remove damaged foliage.
Stop all pruning until fall.
Forget the fertilizer.
Tomatoes etc.
Deserts tend to lack shade, and because there is so little humidity in the air, much more solar radiation is found in deserts than in other climates. This is too much sunlight for most plants to handle.
In the southern regions of Israel, rains are scarce and the average temperature in August is 50 ° C. An experiment in progress since 2010 and inspired by permaculture, it has already proven that fruit trees can be grown in the desert. A series of agricultural experiments have tested different qualities of irrigation water and four different crops.
Philipp Saumweber is creating a miracle in the barren Australian outback, growing tonnes of fresh food. So why has he fallen out with the pioneering environmentalist who invented the revolutionary system? Desert blooms: Philipp Saumweber, the founder and CEO of Sundrop, with a tray of his "perfect" produce.
The proximity of the sea guarantees the constant presence of water that is sent to a desalination plant, using a solar energy pump. In short, you use what you have in abundance to produce what is needed most. With a vast desert area, sunlight, salt water and CO2 can produce food, water and clean energy.
I'd say about 80% of the garden was planted directly with seeds and the rest transplants from a local nursery that offers AMAZING organic and heirloom varieties that are tried and true desert producers. All of my seeds (and garlic bulbs) I get from High Mowing Seeds and the herbs come from Horizon Herbs.

Imran Khan has been around for decades. From cricket to politics, his life has always been open for us to see. So when Trever Noah, host of The Daily Show, did an entire segment on the similarities between Donald Trump and Imran Khan, people were very shocked.
PTI supporters did not waste a second in replying to the video clip, denying the similarities between the two.
I'm actually inclined to agree with Hamid Mir here. Trevor Noah is a comedian. His show is light-hearted and designed to give everyone a laugh. It's not gonna hurt Imran Khan's image at all.
However, not everyone thought about it the same way. People against PTI were quick to share the video in an attempt to defame Khan.
Bakhtawar Bhutto hails from PPP (obviously) so it is only natural she'd try to badmouth Khan however she can. However, saying that he defends terrorists is very hypocritical on her part because Zardari has been known to welcome all sorts of shady people into his party with open arms.
Trevor Noah is a comedian. When he compares Imran Khan to Trump, it's a joke. It was made for the pleasure of the audience and to get a laugh. There's no need to swear at him for making a Pakistani look bad. We Pakistanis know our self worth and it can't be determined by what an American (who is a comedian) says about us.
Love @Trevornoah Love @TheDailyShow but this piece misses the mark. Imran Khan is the kind of leader the Pakistani Population needs. A country where every civilian government had been over thrown and the last Prime Minister is currently in Prison.
The entire point of this piece was to give the US population a bit of humor by comparing Trump to someone who wasn't American. I don't understand why people are taking this so seriously. Imran Khan will become our Prime Minister regardless so why does anything people say at this point even matter?

In October 2014, Orinoco materially increased the size of the Faina Goldfields Project (Faina Project) after securing a 70% interest in the highly prospective Española Prospect – a tenement with known gold mineralisation.
The tenement is situated immediately to the north of both the Cascavel Gold Mine (Cascavel) and the Central Tinteiro IOCG (iron oxide, copper, gold) prospect (Tinteiro). The tenement contains significant north-west extensions of both the Cascavel and Tinteiro geological trends, extending the known Cascavel structure by 60% to approximately 4km of strike.
Significantly, the tenement contains a well-known "Española" (artisanal mine – previously known as Garimpo) that produced gold from approximately 2010-2012, when Orinoco's 30% partner at Cascavel purchased the farm-land and removed the artisanal miners.
The previous artisanal mining activities targeted gold mineralisation hosted by a low angle thrust fault immediately above and parallel to the structures that host the mineralisation at Orinoco's 100%-owned Cascavel and Sertão Gold Project (Sertão).
The artisanal workings are located approximately 1.5km further north-west along strike from the most northerly results reported previously by Orinoco where a 2.5-tonne bulk sample from the Cuca winze returned an average grade of 27.2g/t Au. The artisanal workings consist of a series of winzes developed along approximately 200m of strike. As with Cascavel, the mineralised horizon is composed of a set of quartz veins and associated biotite alteration halo, which also carries gold grades.
A limited chip sampling program was conducted over the mineralised horizon with positive gold grades in all samples and 9 of the 10 samples returning grades of over 1g/t Au, with a maximum result of 9.9g/t Au (for full details refer to ASX Announcement 7 October 2014).
The addition of this tenement not only significantly extends the strike of the Cascavel structure and confirms the repetition of mineralised horizons almost 1.4km to the north-west but also highlights the prospectivity of the shear zones along (and beyond) the underexplored 20km long Sertão – Cascavel corridor.

Ryan Cochran-Siegle Sends It
February 17, 2021 February 18, 2022 VT Ski and Ride Magazine 2892 Views RCS, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, World Cup
By Marina Knight
Sometimes when you watch sports, maybe a sport you have been watching for years, suddenly there's a moment that strikes at something inside you. After the fact, you might replay what you just saw in your head. It sticks with you because the seemingly undoable was just done.
One of these moments happened as I was watching the Alpine World Cup on December 30, 2020. It was on an icy downhill race track circuit in Bormio, Italy known as the Stelvio. Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who was having his best season ever with two World Cup podiums, was in full send mode. He was skiing with a freedom and abandon he had recently rediscovered and he was skiing fast.
As he came into a slight compression before a jump on the downhill course, going an estimated 85 mph according to commentators, the 28-year-old native of Starksboro, Vt. was ever so slightly back on his skis. The knoll sent him soaring through the air. When his skis slapped the snow, slightly off-kilter, the forces tossed him nearly onto his back. It was a moment that makes you hold your breath. On TV, the camera flashed to racers in the finish area who were putting their hands on their heads, aghast.
But Cochran-Siegle somehow pulled out of it, using immense strength to essentially do a sit-up, straining against the G-forces to pull his body forward. He regained his balance – then momentarily lost it again. But then he pulled it back together. His skis kept tracking cleanly and he stayed fast enough for 7th place in the downhill race that day. It was the save of the day, if not the year.
"I was just getting a little bit rattled and backseat and a little beyond my comfort zone. I think I was lucky I was able to carry through there," Cochran-Siegle said after.
Ryan Cochran Siegle, or RCS as many know him, had come into that day's race as the favorite, an anomaly for any male member of the U.S. Alpine Ski Team.
That race run on the Stelvio (and his winning Super G run the day before) displayed a type of skiing that Cochran-Siegle has recently started to feel again. "I think where I'm at right now as far as my skiing and my capability goes, is that I just have a lot of trust that I don't have to plan for everything," he said.
The day before Cochran-Siegle had stood at the top of the podium after winning his first World Cup race, the Bormio Super G on Dec. 29. Not only did Cochran-Siegle win that race, he put 0.79 of a second between him and the second-place finisher Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria. It was the largest margin any man has won by since 2016. And no American man had won a Super G since Bode Miller in 2007.
His win was a much-needed pick-me-up for the US team. It also brought into high relief the payoff of Cochran-Siegle's hard work and perseverance.
On Track to Win
Ryan Cochran-Siegle had been poised for greatness early in his career. He won double gold World Junior Championships medals in 2012. Then a crash in February of 2013 at the World Championships in Schladming, Austria destroyed his knee, requiring multiple surgeries. That took him out of competition for nearly four years.
Not many athletes can come back after being out with an injury like that for so long, but Cochran-Siegle's attitude prevailed. "Having had prior success, I didn't want that to be my final race. I wasn't ready to be done," he told Ski Racing Media at the time.
Cochran-Siegle came back from that and returned to with a top-15 finish in Super G at the World Championships in 2016. Then, in 2019, his potential shone through as he posted a 6th place World Cup finish and then a 5th in Alpine Combined in Bormio in December 2019.
Coming into this season, those flashes of brilliance shone brighter. He scored an 8th in Super G in Val Gardena, Italy on December 18 and the next day finished second in the Downhill, his first time standing on the World Cup podium.
Then came Bormio. He posted the fastest times in the first two Downhill training runs, won the Super G and was a favorite coming into the Downhill.
"I mean, it's definitely a surprise," the 28-year old said after winning the Super G. "I feel like I can trust myself right now, trust to just let things flow."
Let It Flow
Let things flow… Inside that simple statement is the story of an athlete who has come full circle, from a kid lapping the T bar at Cochran's tiny ski area in Richmond, Vt., to a hard-working junior athlete, to the 2012 World Junior Champion to a World Cup race winner. Along the way, he has been constantly learning: becoming aware of his own skiing and what his strengths and weaknesses were.

No one knows Ryan better than his mother, Barbara Ann Cochran, the 1972 Olympic Gold Medalist in slalom. She sees his coming of age as kind of a predetermined destiny: if you are a Cochran, you reach the highest echelons of ski racing. Ryan, she says was basically born to ski.
"When he was little he was so passionate, he had such a natural feel for skiing," she said in a recent interview. She cites the example of when her son, then 5, sat in on a sports psychology workshop she was running at a summer camp. All the athletes were asked to share what they think about when they're standing in the starting gate.
"Ryan said, 'I can't wait to go,'" she remembers.
What was different this season, a season punctuated with his first two World Cup podiums, is that he is redefining how he thinks about perfection and learning to let go.
"What I'm feeling is not trying to be perfect in the start," he said on a call the first week in January as he and teammates were preparing for the World Cup GS races in Adelboden, Switzerland. "I mean having a plan and trying to find a style of skiing that I'm not forcing. I'm skiing with a good conservation of energy and speed and skiing fluidly through things. I don't feel like I need to be super harsh on the ski, I can really allow the hill to take me down."
Life at Full Speed
Flash back 20 years to the top of Cochran's Ski Area in Richmond. It was the 40th Anniversary of the ski area and a big party was going on down below. In typical Vermont fashion, it had just rained and then turned freezing cold, so the whole hill was one big sheet of ice. A group of skiers gathered for the last run of the day, the daily "Bombing Run." At Cochran's, the lodge is situated at the top of a small hill adjacent to the ski run, so the most efficient way to get back to it is to simply point your skis straight and send it to see how close you can get before you have to take your skis off and walk.
"You just tuck from the top," Cochran-Siegle explained. "One by one each person just straight lines to the lodge." Cochran-Siegle, being one of the youngest, was among the first to go.
"I was going way faster than I had ever gone before. At that point, it was a really good bombing run if I made it to the lodge. That was the goal," he continued.
You can see the scene, a small Cochran-Siegle, speeding solo down the icy face of Cochran's in his pink, floral-camo race suit, headed straight for the lodge. He picked up so much speed that he caught air over a small knoll going up the hill on the other side.
"I actually aired out on the second knoll, landed on the bank of snow that falls off the roof of the lodge and my skis just stayed there," he said. When that happened, Cochran-Siegle double ejected from his skis and supermanned, head-first through the plate glass window, landing inside the lodge. Slightly stunned, with glass lying everywhere and conversations among party-goers having full-stopped, Cochran-Siegle said he simply got up and climbed back out the window he had just crashed through.
What's striking about this story is that in that moment, achieving flow state was an unconscious effort.
Now, as he steps into the start gate of some of the world's gnarliest race courses, far mightier and menacing than the face of Cochran's, he is tapping into the essence of that kid speeding toward the lodge.
"Initially, as you get on the World Cup, you're so focused on being fast and getting results that you miss out on being present and just skiing. I'm confident that the way I react will be correct. You have to have the trust to not have to try your hardest or be your most perfect. I think that's the biggest change now compared to past seasons," he said.
What was coming next would test this: Kitzbuhel and the famous Hahnenkamm. "People always get very excited, especially for Kitzbuhel. There's such a hype about it," Cochran-Siegle said of the venue where the famous downhill is held each year and where his uncle, Bobby Cochran, was the first American to win the Hahnenkamm Cup.
On January 20, Cochran-Siegle plummeted down the Kitzbuhel, Austria Downhill training course in full flow. On what is considered one of the hardest courses in the world he let go and posted the fastest time of the day. On the following day's training run, he had trouble posting the 22nd fastest time. His finishes so far this season had put him in third for overall points in Downhill for the World Cup.
He was a favorite coming into what was just his second Hahnenkamm Downhill, after not finishing in 2020. At the top of the course, he flew, posting splits that would put him in the lead. Then, more than half-way down he soared over a rise, landed and was thrown off balance. This time he could not pull himself back. Skidding across the snow at 60 mph, he crashed through the safety netting.
As race personnel rushed to his side, Cochran-Siegle took off his helmet and appeared to be ok. X-rays would later show a cervical fracture in his spine, enough to take him off the race course for a few weeks, at minimum. Later he posted the video of the crash to his Instagram account with the message: "Lucky to walk away with nothing more than a minor broken neck. Already hoping for my third attempt at conquering this beast of a course next year!"
Postscript: There is probably no such thing as a "minor" broken neck. Cochran-Siegle's injury was enough to take him out of competition for the rest of the season, a season where he was coming into his own and showing the world what he could do.

123 NATIVE FISH SAVED IN SUCCESSFUL BINGARA FISH RESCUE
Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall releasing a rescued metre-long Murray Cod yesterday.
NORTHERN Tablelands MP and Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall yesterday declared an operation to save native fish from diminishing water holes in the Gwydir and Horton Rivers a success, with 123 fish rescued, including a giant 100 centimetre Murray Cod.
Mr Marshall joined volunteers from the Bingara Angler's Club and Gwydir Shire Council staff as a number of fish were returned to a section of the Gwydir River upstream of Bingara, which is not at risk of fish kills this summer.
"This really is an incredibly positive outcome for the future of the native fish population in the Horton and Gwydir Rivers," Mr Marshall said.
"Through the efforts of the Bingara Angler's Club working with NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Fisheries, 103 Murray Cod, 10 endangered Eel-Tailed Catfish, six Yellow Belly and four Golden Perch were removed from shallow holes along the river system, saving them from certain death.
"The current state of the Horton River is absolutely dire with large stretches of the waterway bone dry and remaining pools stagnant and unsuitable to support any form of marine life.
"There'll be more severe fish kill events this summer, many more than last summer, and there's not a lot we can do to prevent it, but this project has highlighted what can be achieved when we get on the front foot and still have a chance."
Bingara Angler's Club President Stuart Lanagan said the fish rescue had been a very tough but rewarding effort.
"One day it will rain again and water will return to our rivers and when it does we will have a fish population in tanks ready to be reintroduced," Mr Lanagan said.
"Over the last month we have assessed the health and weight of the fish and chosen 10 Murray Cod which will be kept in dams at the Bingara Murray Cod Hatchery to be used as broodstock.
"These fish will play a pivotal role in rebuilding our local cod population, in particular regenerating important genetics which have developed of hundreds of thousands of years.
"The reintroduction of all these fish are important for the health and cleanliness of our river system and I'm pleased the club has been able to provide assistance," Mr Lanagan said.
Mr Marshall thanked the Bingara Angler's Club and Gwydir Shire Council for their involvement.
"They say you can't beat local knowledge and I feel the success of this program has come down to the efforts of volunteers who know the area and walked kilometres of river bank to find the holes where fish may be hiding," he said
"This is the first time DPI has partnered with a volunteer fishing club on an operation like this and I truly believe without this partnership this rescue would not have been nearly as fruitful.
"I now look forward to working with the Angler's Club on its plans to extend the hatchery and increase its capacity to breed large numbers of fish which will be used to repopulate local waterways once the drought breaks."
This second rescue operation is part of the NSW Government's $10 million plan to create a modern day 'Noah's Ark' to ensure the survival of the State's key native fish species from ecological disaster.
Community members are encouraged to report any fish deaths or observations through the Fishers Watch hotline on 1800 043 536 or via https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/pests-diseases/reporting

Bring a Loupe An IWC Portofino Moonphase Ref. 5251, A 1962 Breitling Unitime Ref. 2610, And An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 5402SA
Introducing The Zenith Elite Classic
Introducing The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater In Sandblasted Rose Gold
Bring A Loupe is back with its first installment of 2019.
Isaac Wingold
New year, new watches. Well, old watches, technically speaking, but you get the idea. We're back with a little mix of everything, ranging from a vintage oversized IWC to an affordable offering from Hamilton, and an undervalued, GMT-equipped Breitling. Since it is a new year, and we intend to continue to bring the heat, we've also included an early Royal Oak, and a Reverso with military provenance. These are truly watches you don't see everyday, and by tomorrow they could very well be sold. Time to dive in!
IWC Portofino Moonphase Ref. 5251
This is what's known as an objectively cool watch. It's essentially the result of watchmaking legend extraordinaire Kurt Klaus's desire to install the Cal. 9521 pocket watch movement inside a wristwatch, given its sheer beauty and importance to the brand. This effectively launched the iconic Portofino line, and made a splash in the watch world, given the unconventional nature of a 46 mm dress watch in the early 1980s. No two ways about it – it's dope. But for me, it's a bit more than that.
As a kid, I can remember walking into Selfridge's in London and immediately being stunned by the seemingly never-ending displays belonging to all the top manufacturers. For whatever reason, I was particularly attracted to a watch inspired by the aforementioned Ref. 5251, the identically complicated modern Ref. 5448 in steel, which also measures 46 mm across. I guess you could say it challenged my idea of what a dress watch could look like, inspiring me to dive into researching the earliest days of IWC, along with the later development of the Ref. 5251, and now we're here.
It's believed that somewhere in the ballpark of 350 examples of this reference were produced back in the 80s, which makes sense given the slim popularity of oversized dress watches at the time. All in all, it's really a special piece, that I implore you to go for it should you ever have the opportunity to try one on.
The Miami based dealer Matthew Bain has this example of the Ref. 5251 listed for $17,000. Find more details in the full listing.
1962 Breitling Unitime Ref. 2610
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and once more after that just for good measure. There are some serious deals to be had in vintage Breitling. While they might not have the same icon-on-the-wrist shock factor as some other watches dating back to the '60s and '70s, they're nothing short of wildly compelling and attractive, from both mechanical and aesthetic standpoints.
We've featured Ref. 2610 Unitime GMT's before, but to give you an idea of the numerous variants that Breitling produced in their heyday, let's take a look at another. This particular version features a black bakelite bezel in place of the usual stainless steel, but like other watches with four digit references, a bezel swap can make all the difference in changing the overall feel of a piece.
Condition wise, this piece has certainly seen its fair share of action, though it's still rather sharp. Slightly worn dial aside, the watch looks to be unpolished, with thick lugs and a defined case architecture. You'll also notice that the engravings found on the caseback are still deep as can be, further suggesting that this piece just might have escaped the wrath of the polishing wheel. The original crown is nice to see, as well, since many of these pieces are seen with replaced parts.
Farfo Vintage Watches is asking $5,999 for this example, which seems relatively reasonable all things considered. Find more photos at the link right here.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 5402SA
Two tone watches have never been my thing. Maybe it's because I've seen too many sunburned retirees down south sporting weathered examples of such timepieces, but they've just never done it for me. Even upon purchasing a mint Root Beer GMT, I swapped out the bracelet for a full steel Oyster. With that said, there are exceptions, and this is most definitely one of them. Perhaps the only one in my books?
You likely know the story of the Royal Oak by now, so I won't bore you with tales of Genta and last-minute design deadlines, but what is important to note is that the now-iconic watch was launched in an effort to create a new class of luxury timepieces crafted in steel. Knowing this, it makes the release of the two-tone 5402SA rather puzzling, but upon seeing the watch, its creation makes perfect sense.
Many attribute the full gold-esque warmth that this piece affords to the attention-demanding contrast that's created by the grey "tapisserie" dial against the gold octagonal bezel, and I don't think they're the slightest bit wrong. It's simply a two-tone watch that feels infinitely more extravagant than the average two-tone piece, partially explaining why they're now so sought after.
A Collected Man out of London has priced this sharp example which includes the original box at GBP 26,000. Get the full scoop here.
Hamilton Intra-Matic
One of my earliest jobs in watches was on the frontlines, working sales. It's an interesting gig in that you're bound to watch people make "mistakes" on the daily, but alas, we're not all nutty, obsessive (read: passionate and dedicated) collectors. That said, it was an exciting opportunity to help steer first-time buyers in the direction of something truly worthy of their diligently saved dollars, which during my stint usually came in the form of a Hamilton Intra-Matic.
Hamilton reissued their unassuming Intra-Matic line not too long ago, and it checked most if not all of the boxes. Reliable, mechanical, affordable, versatile – you get the idea. Best of all, it stayed true to the design language of the original Intra-Matics, like the one in question today. At 35 mm across, it's slightly smaller than the newer interpretation, but the smaller wrist presence is made up for and then some by the 30-jewel Cal. 92 micro-rotor movement you'll find beneath the caseback of this piece suited for everyday wear.
Interestingly enough, this piece is priced similarly to the modern reinterpretation; though in my opinion, it's got a lot more to offer. Whether you're a seasoned collector or someone just jumping into the madness for the first time, this would make an excellent addition to your arsenal, so to speak.
New York City's Analog Shift has this conservative timepiece on the site for $995, and I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a watch this cool for the money. Click here for more photos.
1933 Jaeger LeCoultre Military Reverso
To end things off for the week, we've got something you really don't see every day. It's a military watch, but not the military watch you're expecting. As the creases at the lugs and ornate rear engraving would suggest, this is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, originally designed for British polo players in India, but as you'll soon find out, this piece likely spent the bulk of its time on a field of different sorts.
Upon taking a closer look at the enamel engraving, you'll find the words "Royal Berkshire" presented proudly below what's known in British military circles as the "China Dragon Cap Badge." Logically, this would indicate that the watch was delivered to a high ranking official of the Royal Berkshire Regiment, as presumably not all were outfitted with a watch of such quality.
The watch does have a reprinted dial, which is usually cause for me to turn the other way and keep walking, but this piece is another story. Given the amount of history that this watch has undoubtedly seen, and the special place it holds within both Reverso and military watch-collecting circles, I'd suggest looking past the dial in this instance and instead focusing on the bigger picture.
Eric Wind of Wind Vintage has this piece listed on his site for $6,500. Find the full listing here.

Life after service
The Army Veteran Devoted To Remembering Caribbean Service Personnel
Pauline Milnes was just 17 when she joined the British Army in 1970 - look what she's doing now
14th February 2020 at 3:13pm
Pauline Milnes was just 17 when she joined the British Army in 1970 – amid the Cold War. During her time in the military, she worked in the UK and at NATO headquarters in, what was then, West Germany. After four years, Pauline went on to have a family and build a long corporate career. Here we explore how the military has been intrinsic to her life.
To this day, Pauline remains closely connected to the military.
One of her projects is the National Caribbean Monument Charity, which she co-founded to raise money for a monument dedicated to the service people from the Caribbean.
Cold War Threats
Joining the military during very different times, when Europe was split politically following World War II, Pauline and her colleagues from the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC)needed to be ceaselessly diligent of possible espionage by Britain's Cold War enemies, and attacks by the IRA.
After four years, Pauline left the Armed Forces and returned to civilian life.
She went on to bring up three children and has built a 40-year career with global construction and engineering firm, Bechtel.

Pauline Milnes
Currently working on London Crossrail as a document controller, ensuring that operatives are working with the most recent plans, Pauline has a unique insight into this historical infrastructure project.
Alongside work, she has immersed herself in causes that are very close to her heart.
Special Place Of Remembrance
In 2015, Pauline co-founded the National Caribbean Monument Charity after visiting the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire – Britain's year-round site of Remembrance that recognises and honours the fallen, their service and sacrifice.
While there, Pauline was deeply saddened to find there was no monument dedicated to the people of the Caribbean, who have served in the British Armed Forces and the Merchant Navy for centuries.
Knowing about their long history of sacrifices for and contributions to Britain, Pauline was compelled to give these heroes the respect and recognition they deserve.
Navy Veteran Stirs Up Healthy Chocolate Spreads
In the Second World War, 16,000 Caribbean volunteers served with the British Armed Forces.
More than 230 volunteers died or were reported missing, and 265 were injured. What's more, many Caribbean servicemen made their way to Britain using their own money to fight in the First World War. Pauline said:
"Every relevant nation is represented at the National Memorial Arboretum, but I have no idea why a monument hasn't already been installed for the 18 British Caribbean islands, whose men and women gave their military service to Britain in wars and conflicts. And they continue to serve the country today.
"I believe that these brave people, of all ethnicities, should have the recognition they deserve by providing a glorious monument that reflects their unfailing commitment and sacrifices."
So far, Pauline's charity has raised enough money to pay for the plot at the Arboretum and for the early design of the monument itself, which is being created by renown sculptor Martin Jennings. The Charity aims to install the new monument in autumn 2021.
Guiding Ex-Service Men and Women To New Careers
Shaping A Legacy
The charity is only part of Pauline's mission. She says:
"We want to educate the younger generations, to help them build a sense of belonging and worth, and to develop knowledge of the achievements of their forefathers.
"Currently, children are taught very little about the contribution of military people from the Caribbean, so it's our aim to inform them, and give them an insight into how other nations have supported Britain."
In addition, Pauline is a loyal and active WRAC Association member.
Pauline's support led her to be chosen for a portrait, which was painted for an exhibition at the National Army Museum celebrating WRAC's 70th anniversary and women's contributions to the British Army. She remembers it as:
"An amazing experience."
Pauline doesn't plan to slow down when she finishes work at the end of the Crossrail project, instead she plans to invest even more energy into her charitable work.

Lenovo will be the first Android OEM to announce a smartphone with a display cutout for the front-facing camera.
Lenovo today confirmed on Weibo that it will be announcing the Z5s Android smartphone in China on December 06. The smartphone is expected to sport an In-display front-facing camera, similar to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A8s and Huawei Nova 4 smartphones. Samsung will be launching the Galaxy A8s in China on December 10, while Huawei is set to launch the Nova 4 on December 17. Since no other Android OEM has announced any plans of launching a new smartphone tomorrow, we can now be pretty sure that the Lenovo Z5s will be the world's first smartphone with an In-display front camera.
Unlike the Huawei Nova 4 and the Samsung Galaxy A8s, the official launch poster suggests the Lenovo Z5s will have a cutout for the front camera at the top center position instead of the top left corner. Just like the other upcoming smartphones with a display cutout design, Lenovo Z5s is expected to have an extremely thin bezel at the top and a slightly thicker chin at the bottom. Lenovo Z5 is already extremely impressive in terms of the screen-to-body ratio but the Z5s is expected to be even more impressive. As shown by a few leaked live images of the Z5s recently, the O-shaped display cutout is expected to be less obtrusive than even teardrop/waterdrop notches seen on a few smartphones launched in the recent past. That said, there is no getting away from the fact that a display cutout is still not very visually pleasing. With Lenovo, Samsung, and Huawei gearing up to launch their first smartphones with a display cutout for the front camera, there is a strong possibility of other Android OEMs coming out with similar "notch-free" designs next year.
The Lenovo Z5s was recently spotted on the TENAA website, revealing some of its key specifications and design highlights. As mentioned already, the Lenovo Z5s will feature a nearly bezel-less front with a small circular cutout for the front-facing camera. At the rear, Lenovo Z5s will feature a triple-camera setup. However, there is no information yet on the resolution of the three rear-facing cameras. The smartphone is expected to sport a 6.3-inch sized display with Full HD+ resolution and perhaps a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It is also likely that the Lenovo Z5s utilize an LCD display manufactured by BOE, similar to the Samsung Galaxy A8s and Huawei Nova 4. While the upcoming Lenovo smartphone will have an In-display front camera, it will not have an In-display fingerprint sensor. As shown by the images published on the TENAA website, the Z5s will feature a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Under the hood, Lenovo Z5s is rumored to be powered by an 11nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 octa-core processor. Unlike the Snapdragon 670 announced earlier this year, the Snapdragon 675 utilizes Kryo 460 CPU cores that are based on ARM's Cortex-A76 CPU microarchitecture. The chipset utilizes two high-performance cores clocked at up to 2.0 GHz and six efficiency-oriented cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. Lenovo Z5s is also rumored to pack a 3210mAh capacity non-removable battery with fast charging support. On the software front, the smartphone will perhaps debut with Android 8.1 Oreo-based ZUI 10 out of the box. We expect the Lenovo Z5s to be available exclusively in China.


Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Lightly spray asparagus with olive oil spray. Grill asparagus until tender and beginning to brown, turning frequently, about 5 minutes. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Great for appetizers, especially as main course is grilling. After grilling, sprinkle some seasame seeds to enhance.
This is the only way my family will eat asparagus...wonderful! Sprinkle well with pepper (especially) and salt.
A very simple and delicious way to prepare asparagus. Use the top rack of your BBQ and watch carefully. I usually brush with a bit of melted butter to finish.
I agree, a good quality, fruity olive oil greatly improves the taste. After drizzling the olive oil on the asparagus I also add some chopped garlic before grilling. This is one of our favorite ways to eat asparagus!
This recipe can be inproved upon by using a fruity olive oil instead of the spray. Also, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after grilling adds to the dish.

Q: Non-Normal Residuals in Real World Data I have a dataset that includes real world data (not experimental or survey data) for a set of countries year by year for 40 years. The data was collected by entities such as the World Bank and United Nations. We want to see how well this data predicts things like GDP. In the OLS case, R2=0.47 but the residuals are not anything close to normal. And bunch up on one side of the plot and have a strong linear trend as well--not random.
Curve fitting showed that a cubic distribution worked best. (A little effort yielded a lot of result.) R2 on the cubic model was .59. SPSS only gives unstandardized residuals for nonlinear regression (Maybe because standardized doesn't make sense?) Plotting the unstandardized residuals is still not normal. Shapiro-Wilk is still <.001. The Q-Q plot kinda follows the expected line though, see photo. What should I do about this?

A: One option since you are considering nonlinear regression is a generalized additive model (GAM). I have provided an example below. First I loaded the mgcv package for running GAMs and MASS for the mcycle dataset, which is referenced in my link at the end of this answer.
#### Libraries ####
library(mgcv)
library(MASS)

I then fit a model. Its fairly similar to a normal regression fit using lm with some minor tweaks. First, I added a simple spline term here (basically a function which creates a smooth function for nonlinear modeling), then set the number of knots to 10, basically stating that the maximum amount of curving points should be around this number. Thereafter I just add the dataset and set the method to either REML or ML (these are the two suggested methods to use).
#### Fit Model ####
fit <- gam(
  accel ~ s(times,
            k=10),
  data = mcycle,
  method = "REML"
)

From there you can just summarize the model like an lm object.
#### Summarize and Check ####
summary(fit)

Which gives you these terms:
Family: gaussian
Link function: identity

Formula:
accel ~ s(times, k = 10)

Parametric coefficients:
            Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)  -25.546      1.951  -13.09   <2e-16 ***
---
Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1

Approximate significance of smooth terms:
           edf Ref.df    F p-value
s(times) 8.625  8.958 53.4  <2e-16 ***
---
Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1

R-sq.(adj) =  0.783   Deviance explained = 79.7%
-REML = 616.14  Scale est. = 506.35    n = 133

You'll see the summary looks different. Here, if you chose linear terms, they would be listed with the intercept under the parametric section. We only have one slope term, the smooth fit function for times, so we skip to that in the Approximate Smoothness section. Here we see the term is significant and the edf is around 8.625, indicating a fair amount of curvature. We can visualize it by simply plotting it directly. Here I've added the residual argument to show the data points and changed the point shapes.
#### Plot Model ####
plot(fit,
     residuals = T,
     pch=21)

You can see that the data clearly has a nonlinear function, so fitting a linear model would be fairly bad. We can also check to make sure our model doesn't need to be adjusted (this is simply a heuristic check and if p values are flagged you can consider adjusting your splines to fit better). It automatically spits out a plot of the fitted/response values as well.
gam.check(fit)

The summary and plot are seen below:
