Dairy Queen Debuts New Strawberry Shortcake as Featured Blizzard of the Month for May
May 1, 2014 · ·
The Dairy Queen system swings into spring with the new Strawberry Shortcake BlizzardTreat as the featured Blizzard of the Month for May.
An indulgent combination of shortcake pieces and strawberries blended with creamy DQvanilla soft serve and crowned with whipped topping, the Strawberry Shortcake Blizzard Treat is available at all participating Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill restaurants nationwide throughout May.
Strawberry Shortcake Blizzard Treats are available in four sizes, including the popular Mini, and also can be served in a waffle cone.
"The most famous shortcake is strawberry shortcake. It is an enduring flavor that we have modernized into our signature treat to create an irresistible fan favorite," said Barry Westrum, executive vice president of Marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ).
Many Blizzard Treat flavors, including Strawberry Shortcake, can easily be made into DQ Cakes which are perfect to celebrate Mother's Day, graduation, Memorial Day or other special events such as birthdays and anniversaries.
The Dairy Queen system began blending simple combinations of fruits, cookies, chocolates, nuts and candies with DQ soft serve in 1985 to create the signature Blizzard Treat. The iconic treat has created the served upside-down Blizzard culture and since then, one-of-a-kind flavors such as S'mores, Chocolate Candy Shop and Confetti Cake have delighted Dairy Queen fans as part of the featured Blizzard of the Month program, which began in 2003.

Mickey's Trailer (рус. «Трейлер Микки») — анимационный эпизод про Микки Мауса под номером 100, созданный Уолтом Диснеем в 1938 году.

Утром, Микки чудесным образом превращает свой дом в Трейлер . Гуфи везёт трейлер, в то время как Микки по пути собирает все нужные ингредиенты, чтобы приготовить вкусное блюдо. Он даже успевает подоить Корову, пока они проезжали мимо фермы.

В трейлере был ещё и Дональд Дак. Он только проснулся. Микки нажал специальную кнопку и спальня превратилась в ванную комнату! Там, Дональд умылся и помылся. Он заметил, как какие-то Птички наблюдают за ним. Он прогоняет их и закрывает окно шториной, чтобы они больше не залетели.

Микки, с помощью ещё одной кнопки, превратил ванную в кухню! Он позвал Дональда и Гуфи есть. Гуфи сразу примчался. Гуфи хотел поесть Кукурузу, но нечаянно засовывает палец в розетку и вся кукуруза превращается в Попкорн. Внезапно, друзья замечают, что трейлером никто не управляет, а они едут по очень тонкой дороге в гору. Гуфи так запаниковал, что даже ногой отцепил трейлер от своей тележки.

Дональд и Микки чудом выживают, хватаясь по дороге за дорожный знак. Они замечают, что к ним по пути надвигается Поезд и они могут запросто умереть. К счастью, им удаётся быстро обогнать поезд и промчаться дальше. Они попадают на ту дорогу, где сейчас едет ни о чём не подразумевающий Гуфи. Трейлер снова цепляется за тележку и поездка продолжается…

Kander, who previously served in Afghanistan, had been seen as a possible Democratic contender for president in 2020.
Jason Kander, the 37-year-old candidate for mayor of Kansas City and an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, is dropping out of the race to seek treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
In a heartfelt Medium post on Tuesday, Kander said he was ending his campaign in order to focus on his mental health.
"But, on some level, I knew something was deeply wrong, and that it hadn't felt that way before my deployment," he added.
Kander, who previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives and as Missouri secretary of state, was thought to be a possible Democratic contender for president in 2020.
Kander became a national name during his 2016 Senate campaign, when a campaign video of him assembling an AR-15 blindfolded — and then challenging his Republican opponent Roy Blunt to do the same thing — went viral.
Despite losing his Senate race, Kander's national profile grew. He has spoken out against gerrymandering and voter suppression, and in 2017 established the nonprofit Let America Vote.
Visits last year to Iowa, New Hampshire, Georgia, and several other states stoked speculation of a 2020 run.
In the Medium post, Kander thanked his supporters, both in Kansas City and across the country.
"But I can't work on myself and run a campaign the way I want to at the same time, so I'm choosing to work on my depression," he wrote.
Kander said he has experienced suicidal thoughts, nightmares, and depression, but tried to ignore the symptoms for a long time.
He will also take a step back from working on Let America Vote, but said the organization's "vital work across the country to stop voter suppression" will continue.
He also said he wished he'd reached out for help sooner.
"I'll close by saying this isn't goodbye," Kander wrote. "Once I work through my mental health challenges, I fully intend to be working shoulder to shoulder with all of you again.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren wished Kander the best and said "we need you in this fight for the long haul."


Europa's "Great Lake." Researchers predict many more such lakes are scattered throughout the moon's icy shell. Image credit: Britney Schmidt/Dead Pixel VFX/Univ. of Texas at Austin.
The data suggest there is significant exchange between Europa's icy shell and the ocean beneath.
This information could bolster arguments that Europa's global subsurface ocean represents a potential habitat for life elsewhere in our solar system. The findings are published in the scientific journal Nature.
"One opinion in the scientific community has been if the ice shell is thick, that's bad for biology.
That might mean the surface isn't communicating with the underlying ocean," said Britney Schmidt, lead author of the paper and postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Geophysics, University of Texas at Austin. "Now, we see evidence that it's a thick ice shell that can mix vigorously and new evidence for giant shallow lakes. That could make Europa and its ocean more habitable."
Schmidt and her team focused on Galileo images of two roughly circular, bumpy features on Europa's surface called chaos terrains. Based on similar processes seen on Earth -- on ice shelves and under glaciers overlying volcanoes -- they developed a four-step model to explain how the features form. The model resolves several conflicting observations. Some seemed to suggest the ice shell is thick. Others suggest it is thin.
This recent analysis shows the chaos features on Europa's surface may be formed by mechanisms that involve significant exchange between the icy shell and the underlying lake. This provides a mechanism or model for transferring nutrients and energy between the surface and the vast global ocean already inferred to exist below the thick ice shell. This is thought to increase the potential for life there.
mission by the National Research Council's recent Planetary Science Decadal Survey and is being studied by NASA.
"This new understanding of processes on Europa would not have been possible without the foundation of the last 20 years of observations over Earth's ice sheets and floating ice shelves," said Don Blankenship, a co-author and senior research scientist at the Institute for Geophysics, where he leads airborne radar studies of the planet's ice sheets.

How do you support kids with allergies?
When registering, parents are asked if their children have any allergies or medical conditions. This information is saved in our database and will also be printed on the badge that all children wear when they are at camp. If a staff member ever observes a child exhibiting unusual symptoms, they are trained to look in one of these two places to identify the cause. This helps us to act quickly. All of our staff members are First Aid and CPR certified.
For campers with severe allergies, please bring an epi-pen with you to camp. Should it be needed it can be administered by a year-round team member or the staff member in charge of First Aid.


In August my wife Susan and I started another landscape project at our "new" digs - new to us but otherwise old. You might remember we re-did the landscaping at our other house a year or so before we sold it in May. You can read about that project here. The new home was built in 1956 and the plants in the front of the home were almost that old. It was a rental we've owned for about 9 years before we decided to move into it ourselves. The existing plants were mostly Chinese Holleys, Aucuba, and Ligustrums, all of which had long outlived their appeal and their place in the front of our home.
Before we could do anything we needed a plan. Zac Davis, our landscaper, created a plan for us that would work well with the style of the home, a standard brick ranch. With the plan in hand I set forth removing the old plants and root balls. The hollys came out with ease thanks to a rope and my truck bumper. The Ligustrums were a different story. They did not want to go. I cut the tops off, axed and mauled the roots, saturated the soil with water and eventually they were gone too.
Unfortunately, in my zeal to remove the limbs I slid a 3" Ligustrum branch along the bed of my truck and right through the back window. I spent the next half a day and $400 at the glass place getting a new window. Low Price Auto Glass was the cheapest place to get a new window on my side of town. Be forewarned though that the waiting room smells like cats - a lot!
Busted truck window - Duh!
With my window replaced and all the old plants out of the way I commenced to preparing the soil. I raked off the old pine straw and put my tiller to work. I tilled in some top soil and removed the smaller roots as they wound up around my tiller's tines. There were a lot of roots. Hanging onto my front tine tiller was a workout too. I eventually got it done though. I leveled the soil and removed the occasional stone and brick fragment. I even found a cat collar as I tilled.
With the soil prepared, Susan, Luke and I met Zac at Wilson's Nursery to pick out our new plants. They were having their Fall sale so we think we got some awesome plants for a great price. We worked it out so that Zac would drop them off at our house and, when we were ready, he'd help place the plants in the beds per the plan.
Susan and I divided the project into two parts, left and right. We pretty much completed the easier left side before attempting to tackle the right side. I wanted the right side of the planting bed to have some type of retaining wall. We bought most of the the supplies we needed for the wall at American Stone. We had them delivered and placed as close as possible to the project area.
Since the west side of the yard slopes from the front and back yard to the basement door I wanted a hardscape that would eliminate any drainage issues and dress it up a bit. I ordered 180 blocks, 30 caps, 3 yards of gravel, and a pallet of medium side stones. Doing all the work by hand I dug a trench in the hard dry (we're in a drought) Georgia clay that mimicked the design Zac had illustrated in our plan. Starting at the lowest point I filled the trench with about 4" to 6" of gravel. I used a 10" tamper to manually beat the gravel down and level. I used a torpedo level to level each block on the first course. This is the hardest part. Each block has to be precisely placed or the blocks may settle unevenly or have some movement. To ensure each block was place solidly on the gravel I beat the top of the block into the gravel until I was satisfied that it was placed correctly. I started with a full block against the house. The second course was started by moving the first full block one-half of a block over to tie the courses together. I cut the cut a block in half later to fill the space. As I wrapped around the end of my planting bed I used another one-half block to re-establish the proper layout. A misalignment occurs because each course is smaller in circumference. The half block compensates for that. My wall had a maximum of 4 courses on the front wall and 5 courses on the back wall, not including the cap.
To cut the block I used a skill saw with a masonry blade. I was only able to etch each side about 2 inches but it was enough for me to break the two pieces in half by standing on one side of the block and hammering down on the other half with the tamper tool.
In addition to laying down a bed of gravel I put gravel behind the blocks and filled the cells. This is to allow for adequate drainage since I left a gutter downspout to drain inside the planting bed. I used the dirt from the slopes I wanted to remove to fill the void behind the wall.
The front wall is missing a few cap blocks and the lighting timer is temporarily hanging on the fence. These are two items still on my punch list.
With the wall in place and the plants in the ground I placed some of the stones between the plants. After the beds were done I focused my attention on putting some grass on the bare soil I had created where the slopes once were. I bought a pallet of centipede grass at Super Sod at the Forest Park Farmers Market. I also used a 4" solid metal border for a portion of the planting bed where I didn't use blocks.
I elected not to connect the gutter downspouts to a corrugated plastic drain pipe as I'd seen done with some retaining walls.
I installed a Malibu landscape lighting kit for the previous project. I wasn't completely happy with that kit. The connectors were crap and the fixtures weren't sealed. I elected to install a Volt lighting system that I found on-line for this project. I ordered the VOLT® Brass Lifetime LED Landscape Lighting Kit | (6) Path Kit. I assembled the fixtures and placed the lights where I wanted them. To get the low voltage cable under the sidewalk I dug a hole on both sides of the sidewalk and used the rubber mallet to force a 4' 6" piece of 3/4" PVC under the concrete. I advanced the PVC in stages moving it about 6" through the moist soil before removing it from the hole and extricating the plug of clay from the pipe. It probably took me 2 hours to dig the holes and beat the pipe the 4' I needed to get the other side of the walkway. After I installed the pipe I wired up the lights. In addition to the 6 path lights that came with the kit I ordered and installed 2 up lights to illuminate the front of the house.
Tools List: Leather Gloves, Safety Glasses, Digging Shovel, Flat Shovel, Tamper Tool ($36), Maul, Axe, Tiller, Manual Lawn Edger, Wheelbarrow, Rubber Mallet, Skill Saw, Masonry Blade ($4), Extension Cord, Bow Rake, Leaf Rake, Truck with Trailer Hitch, Rope and Towing Strap, 4' Level, 2' level, Torpedo Level, Hand Truck to move larger stones, and a Drain Spade for digging in those narrow spaces. I included the cost of the 2 items I didn't already own.
Hardscape Items: 180 Blocks ($5.23 each), 30 Block Caps ($4.92 each - I still need about 15 more), 1 Pallet of Stones - 0.97 tons ($194). 3 Yards of #57 Gravel ($28 per yard), and $115 for delivery.
Other Items: 20 or so Bags of additional Gravel (About $4 per bag = $80), 1 Pallet of Centipede Grass ($195), 3 Pickup Truckloads of Top Soil (About $35 each = $105), 3 Pickup Truckloads of Mulch (About $35 each = $105), 4 pieces of 4" wide by 8' long Metal Border ($10 each = $40), and 4 - 16" square patio stones ($5 each = $20).
Plants List: The plan cost us $100. It included the following plants: Silver Dragon Liriope (16), Rose of Sharon (1), Lemon Lime Abelia (3), Standard Natchez Crape Myrtle (1), Variegated Gardenia (6), Plum Spreading Yew (10), Upright Yew (2), Flirt Nandina (3), Hydrangea (1), Creeping Jenny (12), Bordeaux Holly (2), Radicans Gardenia (2), Flirt Nandina (2), Anise (1), Bordouve Holly (3), Homestead Verbena (9), and Dwarf Loropetalum (5). There was an add additional $100 fee for delivery and plant placement.
The landscape lighting kit cost $547.58 and the 2 additional lights cost $128.84 with a 12 pack of connectors and 2 4-watt LED bulbs. Both amounts include shipping which was not free. I already had some extra low voltage wire from the previous project so I didn't need to buy more.
The total cost for the project was $3,951.63 and many days of hard and heavy work.
Tip: Put a tarp down if you plan to put the gravel on your lawn or in a pine island like I did. I did have a tarp in place but the pile of gravel spilled onto my lawn which made getting the gravel up difficult. If you put the gravel on a driveway you won't need a tarp.
Things Left To Do List: I still need to order and install 17 more block caps, cut the block caps where needed and use adhesive to stick them to the block, install an electrical outlet with a weatherproof cover for the lighting timer, buy some concrete anchors and permanently mount the timer, and remove some other tree stumps unrelated to this project.
All told this project cost about $4000 with about $300 in additional cost still to come. That doesn't include the $400 for my truck window. The project took about 2 months to complete. Susan and I did all the work ourselves. I think we did a pretty good job.
I have to mention the massive quantities of Gatorade and ice water I drank during this project and the never ending baskets of dirty sweaty clothes I cycled through each day. There were some days when the temperature was in the 90-degree plus range which made staying hydrated especially difficult. One should also expect to smash a few fingers along the ways so be sure to wear some good gloves.
Even with all these chores I still had time to run a local 5K race and take home a trophy. I ran the Forest Park GA Autumn 5K race on Saturday, September 22nd with my buddy Jim Macie. It was my first race this year. I placed 2nd overall and first in my age-group. It was a small race!
Unfortunately, I didn't start my Garmin watch properly so the data from the race was not collected. I manually entered the course and my results for posterity.
The course length was slight more than 5K.
The next outdoor project will be to tackle the backyard and my next race might be in preparation for another Ironman attempt in 2017.


Running in his second race under Ado McGuinness and fresh of the back of a fantastic performance at the Curragh, Georgian Bay was ready to go.
Georgian Bay leading the chasing pack worked tirelessly to claw back the deficit but it was too much and faded inside the final 2f finishing 6th.
Recovering well on the beach after the race, Georgian Bay is entered to go again in the 7f handicap at the Curragh on the 21st July.

Rachel Howard Exhibition Announced By Newport Street Gallery For February 2018
25 December 2017 / / Art Tags Blain Southern, Newport Street Gallery, Rachel Howard / / / / /
The Newport Street Gallery, a private museum owned by Damien Hirst will present an exhibition of work by British artist Rachel Howard (b.1969), opening 21st February 2018. Howard was Damien Hirst's first assistant and worked on many of his spot paintings. The YBA artist is showing his support by mounting this solo show, her first in a UK museum context.
The show will be the first UK exhibition of Howard's series of paintings, 'Repetition is Truth – Via Dolorosa'. This body of work was the subject of a 2011 exhibition at Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina, Naples, Italy, curated by Mario Codognato.
Commissioned by the Murderme collection and produced between 2005 and 2008, the series takes inspiration from the Stations of the Cross, 'Via Dolorosa' being the path taken by Jesus to Mount Calvary. While referencing the long art-historical tradition of depicting the Stations, 'Repetition is Truth' also offers a broader commentary on the universality of human rights abuses.
Rachel Howard Study 2005 Ali Shallal al-Qaisi
Religion, repetition, mortality and violence – particularly controlled violence – are enduring themes in Howard's work. These fourteen, large-scale paintings are accompanied by a small 2005 study of Ali Shallal al-Qaisi, the Iraqi detainee who was photographed being subjected to torture at the hands of American soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison in 2003. When these now-infamous images of Ali Shallal al-Qaisi – hooded and standing on a box in a cruciform position – were released in 2004, Howard took particular note of the box. She explains: 'The box is almost like a plinth – I was thinking about the cross, the Crucifixion, and how it related to this box as a twenty-first century place of horror, humiliation and human rights atrocities, and I couldn't help but connect the two.' As one moves between the Stations, the box variously emerges or appears almost submerged in the paint, before eventually vanishing.
In order to create these semi-abstract paintings, the artist applied vast swathes of household gloss paint to the canvas. Howard allowed the pigment and varnish to separate in the paint can and then allowed gravity to influence the direction of the medium in its two forms, building layer upon layer of poured paint. The form of each painting was thus determined by a combination of the weight and viscosity of the paint, precision and chance. Coinciding with this show is a solo exhibition of work by American artist John Copeland also at Newport Street Gallery.
Howard was born in Easington, County Durham 1969 and graduated from Goldsmiths College, London, in 1991. She was awarded the Princes Trust Award in 1992, was shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2004, and received the British Council Award in 2008.
Recent solo exhibitions include: 'Rachel Howard', MACRO Testaccio, Rome, Italy (2016); 'At Sea', Jerwood Gallery, Hastings, UK (2015); 'Northern Echo', Blain|Southern, London, UK (2014); 'Repetition is Truth – Via Dolorosa', Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Donna Regina (Museo MADRE), Naples, Italy (2011). Howard's work can be found in a variety of public and private collections, amongst others: Ackland Art Museum, North Carolina; Museum van Loon, Amsterdam; David Roberts Foundation, London; Goss-Michael Foundation, Dallas; Olbricht Collection, Berlin; Pio Monte Della Misericordia, Naples; The wareHouse, Wieland Collection, Atlanta; The Imperial War Museum, London.
Newport Street Gallery opened in Vauxhall, south London, in October 2015. Spanning five buildings, the gallery presents solo or group exhibitions of work drawn from Damien Hirst's extensive Murderme art collection, which he has been building since the late 1980s. Hirst's interest in curating dates back to the beginning of his artistic career and his organisation of the groundbreaking 'Freeze' exhibition in south London in 1988.
The gallery is the realisation of Hirst's long-term ambition to share his extensive collection of art – which includes over 3,000 works – with the public. In October 2016, the gallery was awarded the respected RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK's best new building of the year.

HERIGE reported turnover of €148.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 2.5% like-for-like despite the challenging basis of comparison with the same period in 2017, which saw growth of 11%. This performance reflects strong momentum in the Concrete Industry business, which expanded by 16.1%, and a tougher market environment in Building Materials Trading (turnover up 0.9% like-for-like) and Industrial Joinery (up 0.2%).
Turnover for Industrial Joinery advanced 6.9%, fueled yet again by the momentum of its new product AM-X.
The drop in new housing starts and building permits observed in late 2018, coupled with an uncertain economic and regulatory environment, have led the Group to exercise caution and revise its market projections downward.
In line with this decision, the Group will be performing some impairment tests on some of its intangible assets in its 2018 financial statements, which will have a material but non-recurring impact on consolidated net profit for the year.
This accounting option has no cash impact and does not call into question the market forecasts for 2018 recurring operating profit.
In a fragile construction market, HERIGE remains confident in its fundamentals, its capacity to adapt and its disciplined management approach.

Water and Environmental Regulation Annual report 2018-19
The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation annual report details our achievements each financial year.
The 2018–19 report reflects our second full year of operation. It provides a snapshot of our performance and achievements, containing information on the report of operations, our executive team, financial reports, and more.
It highlights our activities that aim to ensure the state's water resources and environment are healthy and able to support our growing state.
This year, we continued to work to fulfil the government's 'one-stop-shop' vision for the department, streamlining water and environmental approvals, improving services to the community and planning for some of the biggest challenges facing our state, such as climate change.
We also focused on building our relationships with industry and the community to discuss priorities and discover where we can work better and more efficiently.
Implemented a ban on lightweight plastic bags from 1 July 2018
Launched the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030
Planned for the sustainable management of the Gnangara groundwater system and the Fitzroy River catchment
Improved the health of our south-west estuaries
Launched our first Reconciliation action plan
Relocated our headquarters and some 700 staff to Joondalup
We also supported the Waste Authority, Environmental Protection Authority, Keep Australia Beautiful Council and Cockburn Sound Management Council in their key roles.
Thank you for reading the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation's 2018–19 annual report. It reflects our second full year of operation which has seen change, consolidation and continued delivery of the government's priorities and our services.
One of the biggest changes for our department in 2018–19 was the relocation of our headquarters and some 700 staff from the Perth central business district to Prime House in Davidson Terrace, Joondalup. Despite this significant change for our staff and stakeholders, I am very pleased that we continued to deliver on our services and priorities consistent with our vision of a healthy environment and secure water resources, valued by all, to support a liveable and prosperous Western Australia. I would like to take this opportunity to again acknowledge the Department of Finance for its role in leading and managing the commissioning of our excellent new headquarters and our move.
Over this past year, we have continued to work to fulfil the government's 'one-stop-shop' vision for the department, streamlining water and environmental approvals, improving services to the community and planning for some of the biggest challenges facing our state, such as climate change.
We do not do this work in isolation, however. We work closely with other stakeholders to seek and share information that strengthens our regulatory, policy and guidance roles. I thank our partners and stakeholders across state and local government, industry, academia and the community who have continued to work with us to find innovative solutions to the state's environmental and water challenges.
I am proud to lead an organisation that is committed to meaningful engagement with traditional owners across Western Australia. This year saw the launch of our first Reconciliation action plan, the continuation of our Aboriginal Water and Environment Advisory Group and our efforts to protect the extraordinary Murujuga rock art in the Pilbara, which has immense cultural and spiritual significance to Aboriginal people.
While this report provides a thorough account of our achievements and the breadth of our work, some items of note include:
As part of the government's commitment to sustainable economic development in the Fitzroy River catchment, we will develop a Fitzroy water allocation plan in 2020. This will provide for the long-term and sustainable use of the region's water resources, while making sure the unique National Heritage-listed environmental and cultural values of the Fitzroy River are protected.
During the past 12 months, we have reduced waste through a ban on lightweight plastic bags from 1 July 2018 and prepared for the launch of a new container deposit scheme. Containers for Change, which takes effect from 2 June 2020, will encourage people to collect drink containers covered by the scheme for a 10 cent refund, reducing litter and protecting the environment.
We dealt with some 3000 applications for water licences, provided water and environmental advice as part of the land planning process, and made good progress on preparing the next Gnangara water allocation plan.
The introduction of fees during the year for some water licences and increases to clearing permit fees has made more resources available to the department to improve service delivery and reduce assessment and approval times.
The department continues to deliver on commitments designed to improve the health of six south-west estuaries as part of the Regional Estuaries Initiative.
We have also continued our successful compliance and enforcement and industry regulation programs that protect our environment and communities.
Of course, none of these and our many other achievements would be possible without the support and commitment of our staff. One of our corporate values is 'Better Together' and I am very much reminded of this as I reflect on our collective effort during the year. I would like to take the opportunity to again thank our dedicated staff across the state who work tirelessly to achieve outcomes for our water resources and environment and for the people and businesses of Western Australia who rely on them.
It is an exciting time to be working together as we continue to play a vital role in shaping the Western Australia of the future.

Reduced environmental impact - Behaviour change campaign
The government is pursuing a range of initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of single-use plastics. These initiatives include a ban on the supply of lightweight single-use plastic bags from 1 July 2018, the introduction of a container deposit scheme from 2 June 2020 and the Premier's instruction to government agencies to avoid buying single-use plastic items including plastic cups, straws, plates and cutlery.
It is estimated that before the plastic bag ban, Western Australians used about 670 million single-use plastic bags. Of these, about seven million were littered annually, with most of the remainder ending up in landfill. In the marine environment, plastic bags can be mistaken for food by animals and ingested, or animals can become entangled in them, restricting their movement. Plastics persist in the environment for many decades. Eventually they break up into smaller pieces and their ingestion has devastating impacts on marine wildlife and birds.
To successfully implement the ban, the government partnered with the Boomerang Alliance to help deliver specific components of the program, which provided valuable information for community and retail behaviour change campaigns. The messaging tested by the Boomerang Alliance was incorporated into our 'What's Your Bag Plan?' campaign materials that included television, radio and print media as well as web-based and social media resources.
We also partnered with the National Retail Association to help retailers to understand all aspects of the ban and find suitable alternatives to meet their business and customer needs. A comprehensive engagement program was undertaken that included one-on-one visits to more than 4000 individual retailers across Western Australia, a retailer-specific website and a telephone hotline.
The work with the National Retail Association also resulted in the development of novel and engaging approaches to community and retailer engagement – including making Famous Sharron the face of the campaign. A series of short films featuring Famous Sharron and willing community members delivering messages about the bag ban were distributed via social media to coincide with the offence provisions that came into effect on 1 January 2019. During this time, other materials about the bag ban were being delivered via web-based and social media, shopping centre signage and street performance activities.
Under the Regulations, it is an offence (with fines of up to $5000) for a retailer to supply a lightweight plastic bag to their customers. Community members may also report a retailer suspected of supplying a banned bag via the National Retail Association website.
Research undertaken in 2017 shows the Western Australian community is concerned about the impacts plastics pollution is having on our environment. To build on the success of the ban, the Minister for Environment launched the Let's not draw the short straw, reduce single use plastics issues paper, (PDF) and survey in April 2019. The aim was to gather ideas from the community and businesses on how to reduce single-use plastics and their impacts on the environment, waste facilities and human health. The results of the consultation will be available in 2019–20.
Revitalise Geographe waterways
The Revitalising Geographe Waterways program is a successful example of stewardship. During the year, we worked closely with partners and the local community to increase community input and knowledge, and worked with farmers to improve dairy effluent management, manage fertiliser run-off, protect waterways and improve water quality in the catchment.
This collaborative approach has accelerated water quality improvements in the Geographe catchment and restored community confidence in the government's management of the waterways.
The award-winning waterways program monitors the Vasse-Wonnerup wetlands and priority waterways to identify key ecosystem features and threats. This helps us target our actions and resources to protect and improve waterway health and water quality. The $15 million program was recognised in October 2018 with a state Australian Water Association Award for program innovation.
The wetlands regularly support peak numbers of 25 000–35 000 waterbirds in most years and provide the most significant regular breeding habitat for black swans in the state.
In April 2019, the government announced the program would be extended for a fifth year to ensure water quality improvements and nutrient reductions in the Geographe catchment could continue under the oversight of the Interagency Vasse Taskforce, chaired by Dr Sally Talbot MLC. More than 20 organisations, including government agencies, universities, and catchment and industry groups have been involved with the delivery of the program, ensuring whole-of-community commitment to tackling the challenges and complexity of water quality in the catchment.
We are making it easier for stakeholders to understand the waterways and improve their decision-making through:
hydrological models developed for specific waterways, including Toby Inlet and Vasse Estuary, resulting in improved water quality and waterway health
a major ecological study on the Vasse-Wonnerup wetlands, greatly increasing our understanding of this important link between water quality and the ecology of the Ramsar-listed wetlands
river health assessments, highlighting the importance of protecting waterways for their ecological and social benefits.
These findings have been shared with project partners and the local community at science updates that continue to be well received and attended.
On-ground works in the catchment have continued strengthening partnerships with farmers and industry groups.
Modelling predicts that improved fertiliser management in this catchment since 2015 has resulted in a reduction of nearly 2000 kg per year of phosphorous entering the Vasse-Wonnerup wetlands and Geographe Bay.
Over 70 farmers have been involved in the program since 2016 contributing to improved farming practices (fencing, revegetation, soil testing, and better management of fertiliser and dairy effluent).
Over 40 km of fencing and 20 hectares of revegetation (tuarts, peppermint, rushes and sedges) have been completed over the past three years, protecting and improving riparian vegetation and reducing nutrient run-off from agricultural land.
More than 300 community members attended gardening workshops to learn how to create beautiful gardens while protecting the waterways.
Our partnership with the urban community through the GeoCatch Bay OK project has also been strengthened through a major project with the City of Busselton and the Water Corporation to upgrade the Vasse diversion drain and install rain gardens in priority sites.

10 cent refund Container Deposit Scheme
Planned container deposit scheme - Containers for Change
The container deposit scheme, called Containers for Change, will allow consumers to take eligible empty drink containers to refund points to obtain a 10 cent refund. Drink containers account for 44 per cent of litter by volume in Western Australia and this initiative will reduce litter, increase recycling and provide opportunities for social enterprise participation.
Modelling shows that over 20 years the scheme will recycle an additional 6.6 billion containers, of which 5.9 billion containers would have been land filled and 706 million containers would have been littered. It will also create around 500 new jobs and provide significant opportunities for social enterprises and community groups to generate additional revenue, while complementing existing recycling efforts.
Substantial progress was made during the year on preparations for the scheme, with the department consulting with the community and other jurisdictions to help design the scheme. An advisory group of experts from across Australia also meets on a monthly basis to assist. This advisory group is supported by three technical working groups that provide guidance on operational considerations as the scheme develops.
Legislation to establish the scheme was passed in March and the first regulations were made on 18 April 2019. The regulations deal with matters such as the appointment process, performance targets, reporting and the civil penalty regime. Further regulations are being prepared. Minimum network standards have been set to ensure that refund points are easy to access for 98 per cent of the population.
On 14 May 2019, the Minister for Environment announced the selection of a coordinator for the container deposit scheme – a not-for-profit company named WA Return Recycle Renew Ltd. This company will be responsible for running the scheme and ensuring it meets all objectives set by the government.

15 per cent - Managing groundwater
Reduced average annual rainfall
By planning future water allocation we will be able to provide certainty about any changes needed, allow plenty of time to adjust and keep the changes small.
We take seriously the evidence of climate change and its effects on groundwater resources. As a result of climate change, since 1975 the south-west of Western Australia has experienced a 15 per cent decline in average annual rainfall. This has reduced recharge to groundwater aquifers from Geraldton to Esperance.
Across much of the south-west corner of the state, groundwater is an important part of the water supply mix and is used for town drinking water supplies, to irrigate public open space and for irrigated horticulture. Perth's groundwater resources provide more than 40 per cent of scheme supplies to households and businesses, almost all of the water supply used for parks, sports grounds and agriculture, and one in four domestic gardens. Groundwater also plays an important role in our natural environment by supporting wetlands, lakes and deep-rooted vegetation.
Managing groundwater sustainably to provide for our current needs and for future generations means making sure the amount of groundwater pumped from aquifers stays in balance with the amount of recharge to groundwater aquifers from rainfall. The amount of groundwater available for use in each location is identified through the department's water allocation plans. To get this right, water allocation planning involves considerable science, including future climate projections.
Water allocation planning responds to climate change by using the projected climate trend to identify water availability over the 10 year life of the plans. Because rainfall in the south-west is decreasing, in many cases this means that no more groundwater can be made available for use. Water users respond to climate change by using the water that is available more effectively including through improving irrigation technology, better design of green space, reducing leaks and wastage, and through water trading. Looking ahead, in some locations we will need to begin to reduce groundwater use as rainfall decreases. By planning future water allocation we will be able to provide certainty about any changes needed, allow plenty of time to adjust and keep the changes small.
In the next few years we aim to complete or progress groundwater allocation plans for Cockburn, Gnangara, Gingin, Myalup, Perth South and Jandakot, Serpentine and Albany.
Murujuga rock art strategy
Protecting Aboriginal heritage - 1 million images
Murujuga, which means 'hip bone sticking out' in the Ngarluma-Yaburara language, is the traditional Aboriginal name for the Dampier Archipelago and surrounds, including the Burrup Peninsula. It is home to the Ngarda Ngarli, a collective Aboriginal term for the five traditional owner groups – Ngarluma, Yindjibarndi, Yaburara, Mardudhunera and Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo – who have been part of this cultural landscape for tens of thousands of years and have a deep and spiritual connection to it.
With more than one million images, Murujuga is home to one of the largest, densest and most diverse collections of rock art in the world*. The archaeological record also includes campsites, quarries, shell middens and standing stone arrangements, including lines of up to three or four hundred stones.
Murujuga also hosts multi-billion-dollar industries that contribute significantly to the local, state and national economy and provides employment in the area. Further expansion and future developments are proposed, some of which are being assessed under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Tourism is also emerging as an important economic and employment diversification opportunity for the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation and the local community.
The government is committed to protecting the rock art of Murujuga and considers that the unique Aboriginal cultural and heritage values of Murujuga can coexist with a well-regulated industry and new economic opportunities that deliver benefits to the local community.
In February 2019, the Minister for Environment released the Murujuga Rock Art Strategy. The strategy establishes the framework for the long-term management and monitoring of environmental quality to protect the rock art on Murujuga from the impacts of industry and shipping emissions. The framework provides a transparent, risk-based and adaptive approach that is consistent with the government's responsibilities under the Environmental Protection Act.
The strategy is being implemented by the department in partnership with the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation. We are working together to oversee the development and implementation of a new world best-practice scientific monitoring and analysis program that will determine whether the rock art on Murujuga is being subjected to accelerated change. This will be undertaken in close consultation with a team of national and international experts in relevant disciplines.
The Murujuga Rock Art Stakeholder Reference Group was established in September 2018 by the Minister for Environment to facilitate engagement between the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation and key government, industry and community representatives on the development and implementation of the strategy.

Lake Argyle traditional owners recognised
Shared cultural responsibility - Water allocation plan
It is 40 years since the Durack Homestead, relocated piece by piece to the southern shores of Lake Argyle near Kununurra in the Kimberley region, was opened as a museum.
The anniversary was celebrated in June 2019 when the government announced it would hand back part of the historic Durack pastoral lease in far north Western Australia to the traditional owners of the region, the Miriuwung and Gajerrong (MG) people.
Members of the community, MG Corporation and visitors met at the historic Durack Homestead on the edge of Lake Argyle, which holds painful significance for local Aboriginal people as their lands were drowned without consultation and with it their cultural heritage irreversibly changed.
Lake Argyle was formed after the construction of the Ord River Dam 55 kilometres upstream, which was completed in 1973. In 1996, the spillway from Lake Argyle was raised by six metres to improve reliability of water for hydroelectric power generation.
During the past 12 years, the region has set up a joint management committee comprised of department staff and the four MG language groups ('Dawang') that share cultural responsibility over the expanse of Lake Argyle.
Our Kimberley team prepared a water management plan that involved many of the elders visiting their drowned country by boat for the first time and mourning its loss, providing us with a different perspective on the lake that is now the lifeblood of the agricultural region of the Ord. Acknowledging the loss that enabled development of the Ord has been critical for reconciliation and looking to the future.
The Ord Final Agreement identified an aspiration for sole management by MG Corporation of the land handed back (Reserve 31165) and efforts have been directed to this objective through capacity building initiatives, joint decision-making and development of a ranger program to help manage the country.
We now support the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage to progress sole vesting. This is part of the work of our Kimberley team of 15 staff based in the Kununurra office, who deliver a wide range of business including water licensing, planning, industry regulation, strategic policy, and water measurement and monitoring.
The Kimberley has most of the state's wild rivers, many Ramsar-listed and significant wetlands and some of the largest naturally flowing river systems in the country. The pastoral industry, mining and tourism dominate the economy. More recently, the expanding agricultural sector has increased demands on our water and environmental regulation services.
Aboriginal cultural values are internationally recognised in the Kimberley and require special consideration in water and environmental management.
Water demand
Projected 40 years in the future - Model attracts worldwide interest
Our Water Supply–Demand Model continues to garner interstate and international interest, including being shortlisted in the final 12 best conference papers at OzWater '19, Australia's international water conference and exhibition.
The model is unique in that it provides projections of future water demand and availability for all water resources across an entire state jurisdiction. It indicates where in Western Australia the sustainable use of groundwater or surface water will not be enough to support our future population and economic growth, so we can plan ahead for alternative water supplies.
Water use in Western Australia has more than doubled in the past 30 years. During this time, groundwater has replaced surface water as the main water source and mining has surpassed irrigated agriculture as the state's major water user.
We use the model to project the future water demand for more than 1400 water resources across the state. It works by applying forecast economic and population growth rates to the current volume of water used from each resource by 75 different types of water user.
These growth rates are derived from equilibrium modelling of the state's economy and population forecasts from the Western Australian Planning Commission. To calibrate the model results and identify where 'trend-breaking' water demand might occur, we consulted with 32 stakeholder groups representing the agriculture, mining, regional development, urban development and water services sectors, as well as local and state government agencies.
Principal Water Planner Daniel Ferguson and Water Resource Planner Amy Cowdell developed our innovative model, which projects demand 40 years into the future.
This program demonstrates how we provide relevant, transparent and credible information to create a shared understanding about our future water outlook, set strategic directions for our water resources and supplies, and collaborate with the stakeholders responsible for the state's sustainable development.
Drone power
Flow data recalculated - Mt Pierre Creek
Almost 50 years ago, scientists set up a gauge immediately upstream of the gorge to measure flows from the small catchment. There are very few catchments in the Kimberley of this size where runoff is measured for important infrastructure and water resource development studies.
Recording streamflow depends on a defined and reliable flow rating. As the previous flow rating at Mount Pierre Creek was poorly defined and the flow record very uncertain, we used a hydraulic model to produce a more accurate flow rating.
This hydraulic model required a high resolution digital elevation model (HRDEM) to define the geometry of the gorge. In developing the model, we used a drone and image recognition technology to capture a point cloud (a set of data points in space) of more than 83 million ground points. We used GIS software to post-process the point cloud to produce an HRDEM suitable for our purposes.
The project team included members with skills and knowledge in hydrography, spatial and hydraulic modelling.
New head office Joondalup
Welcome to Joondalup - Prime House officially opened
Our new head office, Prime House in Joondalup, was officially opened on 16 April 2019 by Premier Mark McGowan, in an event that celebrated the department's amalgamation and relocation.
Director General Mike Rowe met with guests including the Minister for Environment Stephen Dawson and Minister for Water Dave Kelly, other members of parliament, Noongar representative Walter McGuire and a large number of stakeholders from other departments, as well as media representatives.
Following speeches and the plaque unveiling, guests toured the building and inspected key project areas.
Speaking at the opening, Premier McGowan said the government recognised the vital role the department played in the development of Western Australia and the creation of jobs while protecting the environment and water resources.
He congratulated all those involved in the design, delivery and commissioning of the new building and thanked our staff for their work in looking after the state's environment and water resources and supporting development for all Western Australians.
More than 700 head office staff have moved to the bright, modern, leased building in the City of Joondalup. The relocation will save an estimated $28 million over 15 years and reduce the government's office accommodation footprint by 3800 square metres.
The relocation is also expected to play a significant role in the future growth and development of Joondalup as a vibrant and vital city centre, especially for the small businesses that stand to benefit from the increased foot traffic and commerce.
Tina takes the lead
Online enquiries fast tracked - Water licensing support
Tina Taraborrelli has managed our Water Licensing Business Support Unit since it was established in 2015. The unit started as a call centre to help water licence applicants and project developers to use our e-business system, Water Online.
Today, the unit continues to manage applications to Water Online, but also handles queries from clients about water licence processes and advises on multiple applications handled together through our 'one-stop-shop' web page, resolving applications more quickly. In addition to managing water licensing fees for the mining and public water supply sectors, the unit plays a role in validating new applications and doing quick assessments of low-risk, low-volume licences, sending the more complex applications on for fuller assessment. This fast-track approach is an excellent example of supporting our clients — reducing time, money and effort.
Tina is a communicator who can speak to the diverse range of water licence holders who require assistance – from small veggie growers through to major consulting companies working for BHP or Rio Tinto. She has 16 years' experience in licence assessment coupled with an extensive understanding of our legislative responsibilities and our water licensing support systems.
Tina's drive to collaborate and to try new ways of working have been integral to the success of the unit. She and her team of six aim to find the answers to client problems or get back to them with information and advice that will make their understanding and application easier.
Outside of work, Tina is member of the Army Reserves and volunteers to assist homeless people and kids in need. Tina is a great example of where personal values and our department's values align.

The Japanese have done it yet again! Another crazy invention that will render you half-amused and half-impressed. The summers are getting hotter each year and it is challenging to keep your armpits dry so they would not stink. What do we normally use? deodorants, body sprays, roll-on but some inventors have come up with a tech-savvy alternative: clip-on armpit fans.
The Waki no Shita Kura (English translation: Under the Armpit Cooling Device) was invented by Japanese gadget making company "Thanko". The device uses a small fan that can be clipped to one's sleeve as it creates ventilation in to and from armpits.
The device uses three triple A batteries as a power source and can run for 5-9 hours depending on the speed of the fan. If you want to increase the running time, power the fan by connecting to PC. Thanko reveals that armpit fans are light about 30 gm or 1 oz so you feel any weight on your sleeve. It is also small, about (60 x 65 x 15)mm in size Additionally, the device is noise-free, so you need not worry about people noticing your buzzing armpits. Another interesting thing is that you can also clip it to your shirt and it will keep your chest and neck area cool.
The Armpit Cooling Device by Thanko is currently available at Japan Trend Shop and costs $24 but since we all have two armpits so that makes it $58 unless, of course, you plan to shift the device between two armpits. Yes, it is true that deodorant is cheaper and simpler choice, but come on! the thing is worth buying because of its innovation.
This armpit fan is one of the many wacky inventions credited to the Japanese over the years. Remember the hugging chair for the lonely or sad? Yep, it was creepy. The speech jammer was useful to make people stop talking. Oh, and the Necomimi, those wearable cat ears controlled by brain signals! What do you say? Would you try out this armpit fan?

Variables in Statistics
In the simple random sampling and the stratified sampling missions, we discussed the details around collecting data for analysis. In this mission, we'll focus on understanding the structural parts of a dataset and how they're meeasured.
Whether a sample or a population, a dataset is generally an attempt to describe correctly a relatively small part of the world. The dataset we worked with in the previous mission describes basketball players and their performance in the season 2016-2017.
Other data sets might attempt to describe the stock market, patient symptoms, stars from galaxies other than ours, movie ratings, customer purchases, and all sorts of other things.
The properties with varying values we call variables. The height property in our data set is an example of a variable. In fact, all the properties described in our data set are variables.
Notice that this particular meaning of the "variable" concept is restricted to the domain of statistics. A statistical variable is not the same as a variable in programming, or other domains.
In this mission, we'll explore the concept of statistical variables. We'll discuss the difference between quantitative and qualitative variables, discrete and continous variables, and more.
While this mission is primarily theory-based, the R programming environment inside of this mission includes answer checking so you can ensure that you've fully mastered each concept before learning the next concept.
