It's so refreshing to read headlines about leadership speculation and know it's not the ALP. The blame game has started early.
It's not just Howard. What about the rest of the front bench? We have:
* harping Alexander Downer with his bitter attacks on Kevin Rudd,
* cringing Tony Abbott who seems intimidated by Julia Gillard,
* missing Philip Ruddock who seems all at sea for a change,
* blunt/blunted Nelson who is hoping for a surge of his own,
* awkward Kevin Andrews who is lying low and letting employers do all the talking
* joker Joe Hockey who thinks he's on 'Thank god you're here' whenever he sees a microphone.
I suppose they makes Peter Costello's smirk look good.
3 predictions:
* Howard will cling to power as long as he can.
* Mark Vaile doesn't have the guts to raise Howard's performance at Cabinet or anywhere else. In fact his is even more dismal.
* Costello will never be PM.

What goes around...
It's so refreshing to read headlines about leadership speculation and know it's not the ALP. The blame game has started early.

Therein lies the Liebrals problem. A front bench stacked to the rafters with rodent acolytes who between them all have not had one ORIGINAL idea. They just march in lockstep with their elderly leader, not one of them with an iota of courage to even dare to disagree with this nasty old man.
And I totally concur with your three predictions
* Hyacinth believes that she is the rightfull owner of Kirrabilli
*Vaille's involvement in the AWB scandal and the protection he received puts him in a "shut up" and cop it sweet situation
*Sneaky Pete is a gutless dropkick, and deserves everything he never gets.

I hope Howard clings to power, I want this election to be an unforgettable thrashing.

And we now feel really relaxed and comfortable, secure in the knowledege that, having consulted the family, the rodent will stay to fight the battle.The 'I will stay as long as my party wants me' has been chucked out the gate, given that the family have become so accustomed to the priveledges of high office they will hang on no matter what.At no stage in the last 24 hours has he mentioned the voters, and their best interests.
His peers wish he would go away, but arrogance and self interest will ensure that he stays. Selfish little man, so full of himself.
Amen, sarah, we all look forward to his demise.

Millennials and Baby Boomers have been at odds ever since the millennial generation came of age. One generation sees a group of young, lazy and ungrateful individuals on their phones. The other generation sees a group of people that had unions, cheaper tuition and could actually afford to buy a house.
Many journalists, social scientists and businesspeople have funded studies that try to understand the millennial generation. As social media can show us, millennials usually disagree with what alleged experts say.
The millennial generation lives in a world where a decent apartment is hard to come by. To millennials, job security might as well be the name of a new fairy tale. To help you understand how millennials have responded to criticism from the Baby Boomer generation, here are some of the best responses they've posted on social media.
19 That time when they criticized millennials' love for avocado
Last year, a millionaire went on 60 Minutes Australia and explained that he got rich by not buying so many avocados. He may have been on TV down under, but his words made a splash on a global level.
Usually, viral fame like this is wanted but said millionaire got a lot of flack for his "advice." Many millennials sent a barrage of sarcastic tweets addressing this millionaire's advice.
It's important to point out that the price of avocados is higher in Australia than in parts of the United States. This is because the super fruit is mostly grown in the Americas. Thanks to globalization and social media, many of the millennials around the world didn't take too kindly to this guy's advice
This Twitter user decided to show this millionaire how absurd it is to compare the cost of a home to the cost of a fruit. Because, yes, millennials may not be able to afford homes in the economy's current state, but they can afford this delicious fruit. We totally get where this frustrated millennial was coming from. In a world where things are getting expensive very quickly, it only makes sense to forget about these problems with an avocado toast or two.
18 That time when they didn't like unions
Some criticisms from Baby Boomers seem so unwarranted that someone actually invented a meme called "Old Economy Steve." He represents the many things that Baby Boomers had that millennials currently don't. (The millennial generation doesn't even get a capital M for its designation, by the way.)
According to Forbes, union participation in the States was at its lowest back in 2015. That's huge considering that a study from 1994 said that union programs even reduce workplace stress. Yup! Someone actually studied unions and found out that they can help employees feel better. So what's up with complaints against unions?
Well, Baby Boomers didn't have something we call globalization. Stuff used to be made wherever someone was from. Although this meant that it was harder to get some rare perfume from France unless they went there, this arrangement sort of worked. Nowadays, rich companies depend on cheap labor from other parts of the world. This means that there are fewer factory jobs that pay well for millennials who may need them.
As a result, there are less high-paying union jobs thanks to the way the economy works today. These memes are certainly a great way for millennials to spell out their problems in a concise manner.
17 When Baby Boomers criticized millennials' taste in jeans
It's no secret that millennials love ripped jeans. Perhaps it's the result of the nostalgia of the '90s that's in style today. Or maybe it's the knowledge that stuff was cheaper back then. We can dig the grungy look of these jeans, though. Of course, adults of any generation have never had good things to say about the new generation's fashion sense. We're not sure whether or not this millennial was criticized about their fashion choices or if they overheard something. It's clear that this person knows the holes in the ozone are an even bigger deal.
Several scientists studied the hole in Earth's ozone layer in the 1980s.
Next came rules to create protocols about substances that were having a negative impact on the ozone layer. That humans could potentially flat-line planet Earth evidently didn't go through to people's minds back then. Ripped jeans aren't considered presentable and can't be worn at most jobs. This millennial has a good point about the types of complaints that Baby Boomers make about them. There are way bigger fish to fry when it comes to things to whine about. Plus, millennials can always point to the crazy hairstyles that were in style during the 1980s. At least this will prove previous generations used way too many spray cans back then.
16 When millennials wanted to get paid
First of all, there's proof that open-air offices are actually bad for people. Some people have even written about how unhappy such offices make them after they realized that moving into one was a major faux pas. Still, several workplaces wrongfully assume that the younger generation of workers might actually want this.
Much has been written about how millennials get paid less than their predecessors even though things are getting more expensive. Thanks to social media, millennials can quickly rebut any arguments that anyone makes with just a few clicks.
After going to college, trying to afford avocados and doing an unpaid internship, it seems millennials just want to get paid. Who'd have though?? Having bills is probably the main reason why anyone even needs to work. One basic premise of this arrangement is that those who work a full-time job are able to afford things.
Then maybe these individuals can spend their hard-earned money deciding whether or not they'd like a bean bag chair, right? We don't know how much it might cost for someone to remodel an office and tear down its walls. We're betting that this here Twitter user doesn't care as long as their direct deposit comes through as fast as possible.
15 When they worked three jobs
The Baby Boomer generation had a lot of comforts that the millennial generation doesn't. One of these was having one job—just one. This millennial wants to remind Baby Boomers that for all of their complaints about millennials who don't work, many of them actually work too much. A few studies find that millennials are working more than one job to make ends meet. So where does the lazy millennial stereotype even come from? We can't really answer that question, but this Tumblr user created an imaginary conversation that displays some of the ways Baby Boomers respond to these complaints.
"Work harder" can't exactly apply if you're already doing that.
From advice to stop drinking coffee to no longer buying avocados, it seems that a lot of Baby Boomers don't discuss the many crises that created the work environment that millennials have to deal with today. Thankfully, this Tumblr user decided to use humor to their advantage. Millennials have to jump through many hoops that previous generations didn't have to. We can at least say that they have an excellent command of the internet. This means that they can summarize their feelings into concise thoughts that we can share as memes! There's got to be at least one silver lining to this, right?
14 That time millennials were obsessed with food
Millennials could also be known as "foodies." There are even terrible hipster food trends that began just so that some people can share them on social media. Some people even get Instagram-famous over food posts. Though this can be annoying for some people. Still, you could argue that it's a cute fad.
But, of course, some people won't allow broke millennials to have fun with their little food hashtags and strange dishes. How can millennials win at anything when everything they do is labeled as being bad? Obsession is technically supposed to fall into this negative category. What would Baby Boomers have said about their Generation X children if they had been this obsessed with food?
Come to think of it, why would Baby Boomers criticize millennials if their generation had some pretty gross recipes? We're glad that many in our generation were spared from the horribleness that was "Jell-O salad."
When a headline brought up this concern, one Twitter user reminded the world that millennials care about survival. What a twist, huh? Perhaps this isn't an obsession, but the will to be informed about at least one thing they can control given their limited resources. Plus, foodie social media posts never really harmed anyone. There are, after all, mute and unfollow buttons for anyone who doesn't like this "obsession." To each their own.
13 When a millennial reminded them of the "pet rock"
Gary Dahl was a man who sold rocks at $4 a piece and became a millionaire in 1975. These rocks came from Rosarito, Mexico and were labeled the same way a pet would have been labeled if someone would have thought of it first. You have to hand it to Dahl, many children who wanted a puppy in the 1970s probably ended up with one of these. Good on the parents for giving their kids something that requires almost no responsibility. Dahl became a millionaire despite the fact that this fad faded within a very short period of time.
Now, we disagree with the accusation that millennials are idiots.
We also aren't saying that Baby Boomers are idiots. There's some logic to giving a child a "pet rock" that doesn't require vet visits, vaccinations and constant care. The thing is, there's also logic in going to your backyard, finding a rock yourself for free and maybe adding some google eyes for a more dramatic flair. This is one instance in which perhaps both generations had their own ideas over what constitutes intellect. There's also the added fact that the pet rock website is actually live as of 2014. We really want to know who's still actually buying these.
12 When they thought millennials never lived through the pain of dial-up
According to an article on TIME.com, AOL still had 2.3 million customers as of 2015. The same article states that many of its clients still use this internet connection quite faithfully. Some people would chock this up to the many Baby Boomers who might refuse to switch over to wi-fi, right?
Wrong! Some people in the States only have access to dial-up internet if they want any hope of getting any internet at all. This is because a faster connection may not be immediately available in their area.
Plus, the word "Wi-Fi" wasn't added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary until 2005. This means that there are plenty of millennials who actually dealt with the fact that they could probably cook a 3-course meal while they tried to download a song or watch a video. To add insult to injury, the original tweet assumes that millennials haven't seen the classic film, You've Got Mail.
This is conisdered to be a disgrace for a generation that loves Tom Hanks so much that an entire high school actually made him their prom theme. So there! Not only do millennials remember the pain of dial-up, they've also probably seen the movie. As such, we feel the response to the tweet was necessary.
11 When Baby Boomers accused millennials of being disrespectful
To be fair, you can be disrespectful at any age. Given that many millennials are stuck in jobs for which they're overqualified (such as retail or fast food jobs), they get to see Baby Boomers make certain mistakes on a daily basis. This millennial has probably seen such interactions and is probably tired of them. We've all seen that one person at a restaurant or fast food chain that demands that their order is made differently. Fast food workers have to work at an accelerated pace. Like anyone, they're bound to forget about a special order because they have to worry about remembering the right recipe in the first place.
Some people also work as servers.
This means that the chef or cook may forget about a special request and add the ingredient anyway. So what happens when the customer finally receives their order? Well, some of them are nice and remind the person who took their order. They send it back and get it right. Other customers are known to completely flip out. There's no data about which generation flips out like this more often. It's likely that millennials notice this more because of where they end up working. This tweet reminds us that if you're rude, you might be put on blast in social media.
10 When a cartoonist compared what "leisure" means to these two generations
Millennials are often accused of being entitled. However, a study actually showed that they believe they should eventually be financially independent. It also revealed that they have very high expectations about this.
Their reality is quite different from their dreams. Many critics bash millennials because they'd rather work at jobs that fulfill them. Baby Boomers lived in a different world. It's true that having a satisfying job wasn't a priority back then. The way that millennials look at work also means that they're likely to work longer hours as long as they enjoy what they do.
This may mean they decide to forgo certain benefits, including a wage that allows them to spend more on leisure activities. Others may be stuck in a situation that doesn't allow them to work the normally-accepted 40-hour work week.
The cartoonist responsible for this graphic must have some basic understanding of this. Though there are influencers that spend their time traveling the world, they're few and far between. Data shows that richer people travel more. Plus, Baby Boomers do tend to be richer than millennials.
It seems like this cartoonist is basing this comic on their own experiences. Even so, it probably rings true with a lot of people.
9 When someone reminded Baby Boomers who raised millennials
This is yet another thing that could apply to anyone of any generation. You don't need to belong to a certain age group to be a bad parent. One article talked about how helicopter parents were borne of the generation that had little to no parental supervision. Baby Boomers also grew up in the era of "keeping up with the Joneses." This meant always having a better car, home or clothing than their peers. It's only natural that having this mentality would teach millennials that it's okay to document their lives on social media. In a way, this increased attention also resulted in closer bonds.
It's no surprise that millennials would wind up depending on their parents for longer periods of time.
Dr. Harley A. Rotbart wrote an apology for some things he did as a parent. He writes about the "short bursts of parenting" his generation called Quality Time. In his apology, he discusses how this may have contributed to how millennials turned out today. This tweet also calls out Baby Boomers in general. Helicopter parenting and quality time may have brought some positive things to millennial children. However, that also means taking responsibility for some of the negative consequences.
8 When millennials reminded the world why they don't have kids
It used to be that one would go to high school, maybe college, get engaged and had 2.5 children after buying a house. Having a golden retriever was also an essential part of this model of adulthood. One of the parents—usually the mother—was expected to stay home and raise the kids while the father brought in the money.
In this era, one parent could work while the other stayed home. Things have changed since then. $12 per hour no longer buys what it used to. This Twitter user saw this headline and responded with the truth. With such expensive rent, most millennials with an average salary might have to put off having children unless they can get paid more.
Many attribute millennials' desire not to have children to work on other goals. Some millennials would rather travel, focus on their career or on other goals. A study actually found that many millennials don't feel they're financially ready to get married yet. Though this issue is serious, this Twitter user's sarcasm shows that she's able to succinctly explain millennials' reasoning. Plus, at least this tweet makes us laugh while rebutting a magazine that blames millennials for a "baby bust."
7 When someone created #HowToConfuseAMillennial
Someone started a hashtag called #HowToConfuseAMillennial in order to put those darn millennials in their place. Thanks to intrepid millennials on Twitter, the hashtag backfired spectacularly. Millennials started tweeting about unaffordable college tuition, the planet's deca and many other issues. Many of the tweets were harsh indicators that millennials felt generations before them made the decisions that caused their lives to be tough today. Instead of pointing out how to actually confuse a millennial, the hashtag became a battleground that got the media's attention.
Generations that came before millennials often assume that they don't know what a map or rotary phone is.
The thing is, if you want to wage a war against the internet generation, then perhaps you shouldn't try to insult them on their home court. This Twitter user is one of the many who responded to this hashtag in a way that obviously struck a nerve. Many of those who fought back after getting bashed claimed that they've received a broken world. It's no wonder they can't fix it, right? The hashtag made such a splash that it got coverage on BBC, Uproxx and other media. Judging by their tone, it seems that millennials won this Twitter fight. If you care to remember this, you can always track the tag yourself.
6 When someone complained about something as minor as a "no problem"
It's one thing to discuss a negative attitude, entitlement and other large issues. However, some people really do make a big deal out of small linguistic matters. Considering how much the English language changes as new words and concepts are thrown in, "no problem" doesn't seem rude at all to many people
There are a few things to take into consideration here. The speaker's tone, inflection and body language could make the use of "no problem" into something rude. Millennials are indeed known for their antisocial behaviors and sarcasm. Considering the many problems in this world, should we even be discussing something as minor as one's choice of words?
This Twitter user thought so and even chose to chastise cashiers in the States of this non-big deal issue. Then someone saw this and chose to spell the issue out for them. A Tumblr user actually brings up a point that's been supported by studies. Research actually shows that millennials are interested in community service, social change, and corporate responsibility.
Is one generation truly nicer than the other? Well, we do know that it's millennials who are working out more and drinking less. Perhaps this Tumblr user is on to something. We just think that there are bigger fish to fry.
5 When they revealed what's actually ending chain restaurants
Millennials are blamed for everything nowadays. Some articles even blame millennials for killing chain restaurants such as Applebee's and TGI Fridays. i'm not even kidding. Buffalo Wild Wings even wrote a letter specifically blaming millennials for their downfall! These restaurants are known for their casual dining atmosphere. Despite their presence all over the US, their meals taste the same regardless of where you order it. Some articles point out that millennials actually like cooking, and that they'd rather spend that money on groceries.
The nerve!
in actuality, you could talk to any millennial and they'll mention their devotion to Starbucks or their love of delivery services. Fast food chains are also not doing badly. Like, at all One Reddit user pointed out why exactly Applebee's is failing. Knowing that anyone can boil a potato, add Kraft cheese to it and put it in the microwave would also cause you not to spend your money in the place that does exactly what you see in this photo. A post by Eater also showed why millennials are right not to spend their money in casual dining areas that blame them for their downfall. Other redditors contributed their stories about how they felt that fast food was superior to casual dining. So there you have it! If you want millennials to buy your food, make it good! It's what they're paying you for in the first place.
4 When Baby Boomers had laptop problems
We rely on technology on a daily basis. It doesn't matter how proficient you are at it, but almost everything we need to do nowadays requires basic knowledge of how to use a laptop. We know that there was a time when penmanship was extremely important. Judging by how much people complain about the penmanship of doctors, it's probably still important today.
The reason why millennials' penmanship might not be great is a chicken or egg question. Did schools stop teaching cursive because of technology or did technological dependency cause this problem? If we think about this problem through a lens like this, then it makes sense that millennials aren't that great at something that's kinda obsolete.
Still, this tweet forces people to think about which thing might be worse. Yes, having bad cursive can be annoying for people who are stuck reading it. Today's technology means that there are few opportunities to write something down. Writing something that's a bit ugly may cost one to throw out a piece of paper in disgust. But getting a virus thanks to a lack of internet literacy? This is a cause for alarm that could cost Baby Boomers some serious cash. Millennials are right about this. Trust us.
3 When Baby Boomers complained that millennials haven't seen a cow
The countryside is full of fresh air, beautiful greenery and cows that millennials apparently have never seen. Telegraph is a well known UK publication that wrote an article describing how millennials haven't seen cows in real life. The article came from a good place. It's true that many people are unaware of which foods are seasonal. We must ask ourselves who raised a generation that is so blatantly unaware of the countryside and its virtues. We know that millennials didn't invent TV dinners or frozen foods.
This Twitter user has noticed how much the media blames millennials for what seems likes everything.
Naturally, they had to clap back at Telegraph about the many things that millennials are blamed for. There's also the fact that there's an app that teaches people about seasonal produce. Whether or not the brainchild of this app came from a non-millennial, you can bet a lot of millennials (probably) worked hard to make this app possible. This article is even more hilarious because Telegraph also published an article in 2014 explaining how 9 out of 10 British people need to learn about seasonal food. Math isn't our forté but we know that 9 out of 10 people in the UK aren't millennials. Hey, learning about cows and the countryside is everyone's job.
2 When millennials wanted to live
Looking at this Twitter burn, the only thing we can say is ouch! There are many surveys that explain what millennials think about health and wellness.
First of all, millennials tend to care about healthy food and are reportedly willing to pay more if their options are nutritious. They care about sustainable foods, and this impacts their attitude towards buying things. When it comes to healthcare, a survey showed that they care about digital access, patient-centered attention and an overall efficient service. This paints a picture of a generation that's interested in living well.
Entire generations of Americans have known what they need to do in order to prolong their lives. Millennials are one of the few generations interested in drinking less, working out more, and eating healthier. It's as if any criticism towards them show that previous generations are angry at this new generation for taking their advice.
This Twitter user is mentioning healthcare on a general level. However, many millennials gripe about healthcare because of the big bills associated with it. They're also quite likely to request estimates before getting treatment. Given healthcare's high cost, why wouldn't they? The sarcasm here is strong. We can only guess that it got so many retweets because of the sentiment behind it.
1 When they remembered who really invented narcissism
Cognitive science was sort of invented in World War II. Commissioned portraits of rich people have been around since forever. It's one thing to take a selfie, but it's a whole other story to hire some poor painter to scrape your face together with a brush. A study actually showed that people who take selfies fall into several categories. Guess what? Not all of them are narcissists! It follows that perhaps not everyone who had to sit through a portrait wasn't always self-centered.
We can also appreciate the fact that not every generation had a camera at their disposal.
What would narcissists have done back in the day if they had to use the cameras that we have today? That's something we'll never know. With apps that allow such fun photography experiences, it only makes sense that millennials take a picture using the next cute fad. If you think about it, there are many people whose faces we'll never know because there was no one around to paint them. Painters were considered professionals who had to get paid, and still do! At least today, even broke millennials can take a picture once in a while. It's up to them what filter they use, right?

In this page I suggest a homemade skin treatment that consists of the best natural products your skin needs. No chemicals, no risks, very low cost, environmentally safe and great effects!
Before we do it, we need to understand our skin type in the moment we apply this skin treatment, why we chose some particular ingredients and their effects and of course small differentiations according to our skin condition.
About skin types
Every time when choosing a cosmetic product or a homemade solution for skin care we are warned that not all types of skin are the same and we must choose the correct product accordingly. We are told that skin can be dry, normal, oily, combination or even sensitive and this is part of our genetic construction.
Now think about your skin… In the summer it might be oilier than usually and sometimes irritated because of sunburn, in the winter your skin might be dry because of the cold temperature and strong cold wind, when you take medications your skin is more sensitive and health problems might bring some acne pimples, not to mention the effects of incorrect skin care products.
And this is because the skin type changes and sometimes can have a little bit from each type in the same moment. The skin from the nose area, centre of forehead, chin and centre of cheeks has more oil glands and is usually oilier than on the rest of the face. This is why most of women have the combination type and again their skin might become dryer or oilier due to various internal and external factors. As for the sensitive type, most of us have at some time sensitive or irritated skin.
However, what is similar to all types of skin all the time is sun protection, lots of antioxidants and the correct moisturizer.
Olive oil and lemon – all you need!
The skin care product must:
– Penetrate the skin
– Not only penetrate but also bring with it antioxidants, vitamins and minerals
As described previously, olive oil has as components oleic acid which guarantees skin penetration, lots of antioxidants and vitamins necessary for cell renewal and skin texture improvement, squalling and essential fats which together with vitamin E and polyphenols offer great sun protection, anti-inflammatory agents and other healthy nutrients.
To this amazing oil to live we will add the fruit to live – the lemon.
Here is why:
– Lemon is full of different antioxidants
– Great source of vitamin C (stimulates collagen production)
– Vitamin A, B complex and K (all needed for healthy skin)
– Minerals like Potassium, Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Phosphorus
– Citric acid
The lemon has antimicrobial, antiseptic, healing and tonic effect for skin. The citric acid found in lemons is used as skin peels and exfoliator and it is widely used as a PH adjusting agent in cosmetic products (it is classified as a processing aid and does not need to be listed on the ingredient lists of cosmetics). Even if lemon is high acidic, it has alkalizing effect in the body, decreasing PH. It is the citric acid that will heal acne, clean the grease and significantly reduce the blackheads.
We still have the benefits of olive oil but we also add more antioxidants and minerals, we stimulate the production of collagen in the skin and we have antibacterial effect too.
No need for complicated ingredients, esters etc. No need for special bottles, packaging or mixing ingredients. A slice/piece of lemon and some drops of olive oil.
When using lemon for the first time, it might sting a little but only for a few seconds. The more damaged the skin is, the longer it stings. If you repeat it after a day or two, you will notice that the discomfort will be reduced and later on it will not sting at all as a proof of a better health state of your skin. The lemon does not irritate the skin, it heals it.
Make your home skin treatment!
The home skin treatment we suggest is totally natural and cannot harm your skin but only benefit it. It has the following stages:
1. Chamomile steam bath (optional)
2. Lemon and olive oil.
And now you probably ask: That's all? What about facial scrubs, masks etc.?
We are told to use facial scrubs as exfoliators. They help to remove dead cells and allow new skin to come out. Exfoliation can be made mechanically which involves physically scrubbing the skin with an abrasive, or chemically, using alpha hydroxyl acids, beta hydroxyl acids or other enzymes. Mechanical exfoliation is not good for dry skin while for oily type it might cause skin to produce more oil. Scrubbing might cause skin irritation, break outs, redness, scratching or even abrasion when it is overused and too much pressure is applied.
Lemon juice is a great exfoliator by itself, due to the citric acid (an alpha hydroxide acid) which is also perfect for acne and blackheads treating.
We certainly don't need to use a scrub when using lemon.
As for the facial masks, extra virgin olive oil combined with freshly squeezed lemon juice will do just fine. The ratio will depend on the skin condition:
- If you have acne, you will use more lemon juice than olive oil.
- If your skin is oily all over your face use slightly more lemon juice than olive oil.
- If your skin is combination type or normal use equal proportions.
- If your skin is dry use more olive oil than lemon juice.
The same rules will be applied when using lemon juice separately from olive oil: lemon juice for oily areas and olive oil for dry areas. Remember to use olive oil without lemon around your eyes whatever the skin type.
Avoid contact with eyes when using lemon juice mix. And if somehow, the mix came to your eyes, do not panic, just rinse with water. Lemon juice has flavonoids which are good for eyes. Long ago, when medicine was not developed so much, people used lemon juice as eye drops to cure some problems and for cleaning.
These are the steps for our skin treatment:
Chamomile steam bath. Put some water for boiling. When it starts boiling add chamomile flowers or chamomile tea bags. Do not boil anymore. Leave it covered for 10 minutes. Then uncover it and after some minutes when the steam is not very strong, lean over the pot. Cover your head with a towel. Stay like this for about 10 minutes. The steam opens your pores and the Chamomile soothes the skin.
Apply a mix of lemon and olive oil as a mask. Lay down for 10 min and make some massage with circular moves. Do not rinse.
Use lemon juice separately from olive oil. Take a slice of lemon or a table spoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and apply to the oily areas (nose are, centre of forehead, centre of cheeks and chin). For normal and oily skin lemon can be applied all over the face except eyes. For dry skin only on the problematic places (for example on the black spots). Wait 2 minutes for the juice to go inside your skin. Do not rinse. Apply little extra virgin to the area around your eyes gently massaging and then spread it over your face and neck.
Try it and adjust the proportions according to your skin needs. And do not worry, it can only benefit!
You don't have to wait one month or more to see some results: you will feel it after the first time!

Lenovo has made a couple of interesting announcements today ahead of CES 2017, and with it includes a new virtual reality headset that looks as though it could help change up the way VR headsets currently work with its inside-out six degrees of freedom tracking.
This is all inspired by Microsoft's Windows Holographic platform, which includes participation by companies like HP, Dell, Asus, and Acer, who are partnering up with Microsoft to create another wave of VR devices aimed at consumers.
Lenovo's headset will likely be the first one we get our hands on, however, and its headset is going to have some very impressive specs, with two 1440×1440 OLED panels comprising the display, which will actually be higher in fidelity than the PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift.
More importantly, it means a possible end for external sensors and such that you need currently for platforms like the Rift and Vive. The headset is going to utilize inside out tracking, which is a much more accurate solution for tracking — not to mention it's easier to use, which will make it simpler to set up as well. Right now it can be difficult to set up things like the HTC Vive, especially if you don't have the space to set up the sensors all around your living room.
The headset doesn't yet have an official name for us to call it by, but it will feature all of these impressive specs and ships later this year for about $300 to $400, which is pretty affordable in comparison to the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. If you've been waiting for a lower-cost solution for exploring virtual reality on your PC, this might well be your ticket. Even if you've got one of the other headsets you might be interested in this one too.

Happy Friday! The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure." ~Sven Goran Eriksson
Fear is unbelievably powerful. Fear motivates us to change what we do, how we treat others, how we treat ourselves. Fear will get us to give up our freedoms. Fear will get us to hurt others. Fear basically will kick our ass. Fear also makes certain that love is lost. With fear being present there is no space for love. You are not allowed to live immersed in both. Yet so many people will fall into love with someone based on the fear that there aren't any better options, that they should, that they need to be partnered at a certain point or age in life. Fear will keep someone in an abusive relationship with someone else and/or with themselves.
Often we are afraid to be who we are, fully. We show only the parts that are shiny and nice. We hold onto and hide the parts that we have deemed unlovable. We have taken the parts that we feel would push someone away and shown them piecemeal, after we feel secure that the person loves "us." Well, what "us" are they loving if they don't have all the information? What you have you given them the opportunity to fall for. How would they stay with you when they don't know who you are? What do we expect when we don't give someone the opportunity to know all of what they are getting into. It is like we want to get someone attached and then show them the stuff that they would run from otherwise but won't now because they are obligated through promises made when ignorant of the truth. Think about it. Is that what you want?
Why would you enter into anything not being your authentic self? What do you have to gain? Well, it isn't always that black and white. Most of the time we don't know we aren't being authentic, we just aren't accepting of who we are. We haven't actually spent time loving up on the parts that we hide. Yet, we hope that someone will love us enough to have to deal with the shit they never knew existed when they first fell in love. We get into relationships and wonder why they don't work. We leave or get left, we fear abandonment and aren't understood. The truth of the matter is that the fear of being left is realized when we don't show up for ourselves. When we abandon all of ourselves we don't allow others to stick it through with us. We show others that we aren't worth staying. When we deny the truth of who we are, others don't want to live that lie. When we base our lives on who we want to be and not who we are we end up feeling lonely and lacking. You must be the person you want to be with in the world.
What do you want? How do you want to be loved? Do you want someone who knows you, all of you and loves you because of it? Do you want to hide yourself and live a life pretending to be other than who you are? Are you willing to accept the parts of you that aren't what you want to sing and dance about? Do you feel worth putting yourself out there so that the one who will love you for all of it can actually find you? When you hold back on who you actually are you don't give someone the opportunity to love all of who you are. We are way to caught up with catching someone than being caught. We are way to afraid to be who we are and have faith that we are worthy of love, deserving of unconditional love, destined for true love. You are enough. You are exactly right for someone. You, all of you just need to come out of the dark, let go of the fear, walk towards yourself with open arms, then show yourself in all of your glory to the world and let your love find you.
"Fear is faith that it won't work out." ~Anon

World Cup 2018: England won a penalty shootout and the nation lost it
- From the section World Cup
What. Just. Happened?
England fans have never experienced the feeling of winning a World Cup penalty shootout but the positive vibes that have carried Gareth Southgate's team so far continued on Tuesday night.
The Three Lions beat Colombia 4-3 in a shootout to reach the quarter-finals of Russia 2018.
The game itself was a testy affair, with both sides experiencing their fair share of heavy-handed treatment, with the South Americans resorting to dubious tactics every now and then.
Bit harsh on Colombia, Hazel...
However, after 120 minutes of intense football raised all our blood pressure to dangerous levels, a familiar sinking feeling crept up on England fans like a delegation of Dementors...
Many households up and down the country allowed young children to stay up past their bedtime to watch the match so it was expected the "post-watershed language" crept in every now and again...
"Well kids, we all have to experience the pain of an England penalty shootout at some point in our lives..." is a phrase many parents no doubt uttered tonight.
But, (and that is a but with a capital "B" "U" and "T"), the extra time and penalties meant delaying Love Island on the other channel.
TV remote-based arguments were about to break out all over the country...
The nation dealt with the stress in a very British way, comparing the intense feeling to other everyday palpitation-inducing occurrences.
What the country/team needed was a pep talk from one of the nation's finest ever penalty takers.
Step up, our Alan.
The shootout itself all started reasonably well as Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford both drilled their efforts into the back of the net.
But nobody wanted to count their chickens. This was England and - not sure if we mentioned it - but they'd never won a World Cup penalty shootout...
Third to step up was Jordan Henderson, but David Ospina had the measure of the slightly nervy looking Liverpool skipper - his shot was easily saved.
Was the "England World Cup penalty shootout curse" going to continue for at least another four years?
Was it heck!
Jordan Pickford blocked Carlos Bacca's shot with a Spiderman-like save.
It all rested on Tottenham's Eric Dier scoring to send England through to the quarter-finals against Sweden.
We will allow the following tweets demonstrate how things panned out...
Great work England. Final score: England 1-1 Colombia (England 4-3 Colombia ON PENALTIES).
Bring on Saturday versus Sweden. BBC One, 15:00 BST.
We go again.

When two people come into counselling together the dynamics change. Counselling with individuals involves coming to a better sense of oneself. Counselling with couples includes coming to a better sense of another. It will be vital that each of you feels equally heard by me and that there is a clear understanding of my role in assisting the two of you.
The primary task will be to understand what each of you wants from counselling and whether or not they amount to the same thing. Once your wishes have been established we can see how to proceed.
If you have already determined that there must be an end to the relationship, mediation can help resolve contentious issues quickly and with grace, especially when there are children involved. Mediation is a different process than counselling; the structure, timing and fees reflect this. I am happy to offer a preliminary consultation so that you understand what this entails and whether or not it is appropriate for you.

Dakota Johnson is about to have a very full voicemail box.
The Fifty Shades of Grey star stood onstage at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City and told the crowd that she wants them to call her and share their stories about sexual assault. "I want to help you—women and girls around the world—tell your story," she said.
She took her iPhone out of her pocket and said, "This is my phone number. I want you to call me and tell me your story in a voicemail. Or I want you to send me a message at firstname.lastname@example.com and tell me what you've gone through as a women or girl in the world that's been suffering."
Johnson continued, "If we don't speak the same language, that's ok. We have a team for that. We'll translate it. And if you're going to threaten to hurt me, we have a team for that too." The number is 212-653-8806.
The actress announced to the crowd that she was going to "compile these stories and get them heard so I can amplify your voice. Together, we can achieve a world where she is equal."

Hire the Right Person for Your Home Repair
Any home owner knows that taking care of your property is a big responsibility, not only is your home a place for you and your family to live but it is also an investment. Maintaining your home is cheaper and easier than letting your home become a disaster before you decide to make any repairs. It is easy to overlook or ignore simple jobs that do not seem important at the time that they occur. These things could include maintain your roof, making sure your home is prepared and protected from the elements or making sure your home is secure from crime.Part of the reason people push these issues to the back burner is because they do not want to hassle with finding the right person to fix the problem. It will take you some time and effort to find the right person for the job at hand.
I must admit that as a homeowner I have been guilty of this, I was under the impression that my home did not need to be looked after or updated. My roof needed fixed but by the time I had found the right person my problem was much worse. In my circumstance the root had gotten to a point that it started to affect other parts of my home and led to a larger repair that cost a lot more money to fix.
The best tip I can give you is stay on top of your home's issues and take your time to find someone that you trust to make your repairs. This may sound simple but you will need to be meticulous when making your decision. There are dozens of companies and individuals wanting your business, but you will need to comb through them to find the best one for your repair. You will need to ask yourself a couple of questions; is this the right person and are their skills that good, these are couple examples.
Below are a couple of things to consider when finding someone to handle your home's important repairs.
Firstly you will want to check their qualifications and track record to make sure they will be able to complete your repair. Reputable companies and people will be able to share references and testimonials to prove that their work is up to the highest of standards.
You will also want to speak with your family, friends and colleagues to see if they have any suggestions for whom to hire. The best recommendations usually come from word of mouth. The recommendations you get from people in your life are more convincing than those from strangers.

Probably the most common soft tissue surgery performed on pets is the removal of the reproductive organs, commonly referred to as spay and neuter surgeries. While these are routine procedures, we make sure that we provide exceptional care to each of these surgeries. Dr Rogers utilizes a surgical laser for almost all of her surgical procedures and this allows for a faster procedure with less hemorrhage (blood loss), and it also allows for less pain as nerves are cauterized. We also use advanced techniques for analgesia (pain control) with local nerve blocks and both oral and injectable pre and post surgical protocols for your pet.
Mass removals are another common procedure done at our hospital. All masses (or lumps and bumps) should be examined by a veterinarian to determine if they should be surgically removed or if they can be monitored. Early removal and accurate diagnosis of a mass is necessary to improve the outcome in your pet if the mass is cancerous.
Surgery is often indicated to fix congenital or breed related problems. We commonly perform surgery on brachycephalic (short faced breeds) like pugs, French bulldogs, English bulldogs, and Boston Terriers to help them breathe better with correction of stenotic nares and elongated soft palates. Your pet should not struggle to breathe, and often times we become accustomed to snorting and snoring thinking that it is "normal" for our pet, while in reality they are struggling to move air through restricted spaces. Please schedule an appointment so that we can discuss your pet specifically and what interventions can be done to improve your pet's quality of life.
Dr Rogers also performs a variety of ocular surgeries including entropion repair, pocket imbrication of third eyelid glands, and removal of eyelid tumors with v-plasty procedures. Please call to schedule a consultation if you have specific questions about your pet and any needed surgeries so that we can discuss your pet's needs.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that rapid climate change on suborbital timescales is a persistent feature of Pleistocene climate. The rapid climate changes of the last glacial period – Dansgaard-Oeschger (D/O) cycles and Heinrich Events (HEs) – involved changes in sea and air temperature, atmospheric and oceanic circulation, and changes in hydrologic patterns that were nearly global in nature. Counterparts to D/O cycles and HEs have been found in marine sediment records of early glacial periods as far back as ~2.5 mya. Although the millennial-scale climate events of the last glacial period have been well studied, there is still much that is not understood about suborbital climate change, including its occurrence in glacial versus interglacial periods, the involvement of the tropics in abrupt climate change, and the actual trigger for these rapid, millennial-scale events. This dissertation utilizes a nearly 600,000-year long, high-resolution record of paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental change from the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela, in order to examine the patterns of millennial climate change in the tropics prior to the last glacial-interglacial period. First, a multi-proxy approach is used to examine the last deglaciation in order to establish as rigorously as possible the response of the Cariaco Basin to the multitude of changes that accompany the transition from a glacial to interglacial period. Based on relationships established between the Cariaco proxy records and climate and environmental forcing mechanisms, the full 600,000 years of available sediment sequence is explored for the patterns and distribution of millennial scale variability, using high resolution Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence records. The results of this dissertation show that suborbital scale climate variability occurred throughout the past 600,000 years in the tropics. Changes in biogenic opal flux in the Cariaco Basin are linked to changes in oceanic circulation, and appear to occur during periods of ice rafting in the Northern Hemisphere. Changes in proxies for the tropical hydrologic cycle reveal that interstadial-like periods of warmth were a common feature of glacial periods as far back as MIS 14; however, a proxy for bottom water anoxia reveals that suborbital scale variability is not restricted to glacial periods but occurred as well during the last three interglacial periods when continental ice volume was reduced. In light of this latter finding, an active role for the tropics in triggering suborbital scale climate change is proposed. The complicated nature of deglacial climate change, as evidenced by results from the multi-proxy study of the last deglaciation also indicate that local forcings and feedbacks are also important in the tropics during periods of rapid climate change.

Sherman's to Lee's Bridges
Work left me close to Sherman's Bridge yesterday afternoon where I launched onto a breezy Sudbury River. I headed downriver to Lee's Bridge and back, stopping to check out Pantry Brook's contribution to the river...
It being a weekday I had the river to myself...
I arrived a Lee's Bridge in short order thanks to the river's good current...
Trash was found here and there amidst the button bush...

Black Mountains, North Carolina | May 15, 2016 | 6:46am
When I pull myself out of bed at 4am, the house is already bustling. Alicia is making coffee. Susan is on her laptop and Sean is on the phone with one of his volunteers. All systems are go for the second annual Quest for the Crest - a very beautiful and very gnarly 50 kilometer trail race across the Black Mountains. Spanning 32 miles and 22,000 feet of elevation change, it is one of the hardest ultra marathons in the country.
I'm here to capture some of the madness with my camera.
Organizing this kind of thing is no small task, but it's something that Sean Blanton does remarkably well - with the help of some all-star people, all of whom are awake right now.
"Good morning Marley," Alicia says from the kitchen, keeping watch on the brewing espresso. "Do you need coffee?" She's Sean's mother, and like any good mom, is eager to take care of us.
"Yes, please. Thank you so much."
I start pulling on layers - thick spandex running pants underneath my expedition pants, a thermal shirt, one of Sean's super warm technical vests, my warmest jacket, a wool hat, and gloves.
Alicia peers at me over her mug of coffee. "You need another pair of gloves."
"You think so?"
Moms know best. I gratefully accept the extra gloves and a thermos of coffee from her. And then I'm out the door - I have a sunrise to catch.
I drive ten minutes down the road, taking the curves slowly, hoping I don't hit a deer (it wouldn't be the first time) and park at the Woody Ridge trail head. Armed with a backpack full of camera gear, a thermos full of coffee, and a head lamp full of much-needed light, I start my ascent in the pitch black darkness. I am not afraid - I know this trail like the back of my hand.
Thirty minutes later, I have climbed 2,000 feet up and the sky is turning lighter.
Another 20 minutes and another 1,000 feet of gain later, I reach to the top of the Woody Ridge trail. With the temperature hovering around the low 20's, and the wind blowing harder than I've ever seen or felt, I take in the view. It is beautiful - it always is. But I can barely breathe I'm so cold. I set up my tripod and the wind immediately knocks it over. I stabilize it by shoving two of the legs into a crack in a large rock. I lock my camera on it, set the timer, and pray it doesn't fall again. I get the above shot. This photo does not illustrate the severity of the weather conditions at all. Whatever. I'm so cold I can't even think. I have to get out of the wind.
I retreat 100 feet back down the trail and duck behind a huge boulder. Even with some cover from the wind, I am still so cold.
Despite the extra pair of gloves, I can't feel my hands. I jump up and down. I do power squats. I swing my arms like an erratic windmill. When a little bit of feeling returns to my hands, they burn terribly. I've read about this in climbing magazines—the "screaming barfies".
Cold exposure triggers peripheral blood vessels to constrict and shunt blood to the core to prevent hypothermia. When blood flow to the hands is interrupted, the resulting nonfunctional nerves create the sensation of numbness. The subsequent pain is associated with reperfusion (return of blood flow) to the hands and nerves. Upon reoxygenation of these nerves, pain signals are transmitted to the central nervous system. In other words, when the blood returns, it re-awakens the nerve endings, and hurts like mad.
And like a mad woman, I scream into the wind. I'm on top of a mountain, alone, miserably cold, and incredibly frustrated. I take a series of deep breaths, cursing the icy air with each inhale. This is type 2 fun in the realest way, I think. I think about mountaineers in the Himalayas and wonder how the hell they do what they do. If they can do that, I can do this. Yeah. I can do this.
Willing my rigid fingers to bend, I pull the thermos of coffee out of my pack and take a sip. The hot, acidic liquid burns down my throat and into my chest, and I send a prayer of gratitude up to the coffee gods. I continue to do power squats. My hands go numb again.
About 30 minutes later, the runners start coming up, rosy-cheeked and impossibly cheery. One of the many things I love about ultra-marathon trail runners—in the midst of an insane physical challenge, they still radiate kindness. Fueled by their positive energy, I snap about 200 photos over the next hour. I hike back down as soon as possible.
A few months later, I read a book about a young woman working at a school in northern Norway. I enjoy the book immensely, but one passage in particular makes me smile:
"The most important thing I can teach my students is how to be cold."
"How to be cold?" I asked.
"How to live," he said.

At the Fashion Professorship at ArtEZ I am delving into reframing and rethinking circular design strategies in a Western fashion discourse. By diving into what emotional durability signifies when it comes to Vlisco's textiles, I am investigating the multi-cultural dimensions of the Dutch textile company as well as modern reinterpretations of its textile products.
In Jonathan Chapman's words, "emotionally durable design explores the idea of creating a deeper, more sustainable bond between people and their material things…in which users and products flourish within long-lasting empathic partnerships". Chapman suggests, as humans, we only foster interest in things when they continue to have meaning, proposing we consume meaning not matter. This interest can only remain meaningful when they adapt to our changing desires and values. If we understand emotional durability as a bond between subject and object, Kristine Harper takes a step back by referring to the aesthetic durability in which emotional durability is seen as an extension. Harper discusses the need for aesthetic nourishment to keep consumers emotionally involved with their product as long as needed as to keep repairing or reusing the product. We all share psychological traits in which we can, universally, pinpoint when we experience something to be beautiful. We tend to resent the old and the worn-out which poses an interesting question on what our relationship is with beauty. Harper proposes a product must have aesthetically sustainable value in order to trigger the user. For designers, she defines the aesthetic strategy modelin order to cater to this aesthetic nourishment within a target market. She interprets the emotional attachment as an individual and sentimental value towards an object from a subjective point of view. Aesthetic sustainability is thus seen as a universal approach to designing and utilising a product and could very well be key to strengthening an emotional bond with a product.
As a precis of the literary investigation into this subject, designing for emotion is becoming a primary driver for longevity. The concept of time and memory, and defining how objects can stand the test of time, surpassing the honeymoon phase, as stated by Chapman, becomes a crucial trigger to how we treat products. Memory herein can be seen as a way to stimulate product attachment through emotional bonding. In Kenya Hara's book White, he further explains how slow engagement, detail and the understanding of the senses can lead to an emotional negotiation with an object. Similarly, Harper mentions the designing of magical things, in which products become carriers of events and emotions. If we tackle the act of recycling within circular design strategies for instance, fashion objects can very well be about celebrating humanity in which re-enchantment and re-discovery become important values in consumption. This leaves a lot of room for thought on how to apply it in the cultural dualism Vlisco's textiles exist, and how ultimately, consumers can relate to fashion in an emotionally durable way.
This is an excerpt of a KIEM-project funded by SIA research.

As one of the least discussed frontiers of network automation, automated testing has always been a gray area in my mind. For the tiny fraction of enterprises that are doing it today, I vaguely pictured a collection of one-off scripts and playbooks, but never quite saw the big picture of how this would all come together in an automated fashion. Let's face it, it's hard enough getting the masses to buy into pushing configurations in an automated way, let alone tackling unit and integration testing. However, as any meticulous network engineer that has done complex changes will tell you, you're only as good as your post change check-out plan. In an effort to demystify this area and address some of my knowledge gaps, I stumbled upon Robot Framework and decided to kick the tires.
Data Driven Workflow
Even though "keyword driven" and "abstractions" seemed like the main selling points in the documentation, I wanted to start off as simple and explicit as possible in order to grasp the syntax and workflow. For this purpose, I settled on using the Robot Framework SSHLibrary to interact with a Cumulus VX switch image. The idea is to create a simple ping test case, that will succeed assuming the ping itself did. We'll create a file named "network_checkout.robot":
Starting from the top, we have 4 main sections. Our "Settings" section indicates the library we're looking to use (this can be an existing library or your own custom one via .py script). The "Suite Setup" and "Suite Teardown" actions are what will take place when this workflow is executed. The "Suite Setup" calls the "Open Connection And Log In" keyword that we define below, while the "Close All Connections" is a known keyword that is self explanatory in this case. The "Variables" section defines 3 variables that we will use to connect to our network device. The "Keywords" section defines the aforementioned "Open Connection And Log In" keyword, which utilizes the variables we defined above it and is called in the "Settings" section, whenever our workflow is executed. Finally, we have our actual "Test Cases" section where we define a command we want to run on a remote host and gather whether it succeeded or not.
At a quick glance after running our workflow, we see that our test passed, so we're now ready for additional test cases.
As you can see, we're sticking to the same logic of command output parsing for the simplicity of this example, but adding various layer 2 and layer 3 tests.
Executing our latest group of tests, you can see that the first three passed but the last one failed. We were looking to match on an Established BGP state, but instead encountered an Idle one.
Now that we have a base understanding of how these workflows function, you might be thinking to yourself that "I already have this functionality available in my favorite language or tool, what is Robot Framework actually bringing to the table?" With that question in mind, let's dive a little deeper into the abstractions that the tool offers.
Keyword Driven Workflow
Let's go ahead and take our previous workflow and separate it into two files. Our variables and keywords will go into a file named "resources.robot", while a second file will contain our test cases that will abstract all the technical details simply by calling the "resources.robot" file.
One main difference you'll notice, is that the "Test Cases" from our previous data driven workflow, have now become "Keywords" that we can reference in any "Test Cases" outside of this file. If another workflow separate from ours wanted to call any of these keywords, it would have the ability to do so without worrying about details like credentials and generally what's under the hood.
We simply end up referencing our "resource.robot" file in our new "network_checkout.robot" file and now have abstracted access into our tests.
After correcting the BGP issue that previously caused our test to fail, we can now run our new workflow and see that our Layer 2/3 Tests succeeded.
Cross Team Testing
To be honest with you, even after implementing the keyword driven workflows, I was left questioning the significance of adding another tool to accomplish similar tasks to what the existing popular automation options already offer. The "aha" moment came to me after I realized what this tool and its workflows would look like in an environment where multiple teams and silos are all using it for automated testing. Network specific pre and post change testing has always suffered from not having visibility into the applications those changes affected. Even with recent efforts into simulating end to end application testing to address this exact need, the ability to do so in a 1-for-1 manner is not quite there. However, if those same teams are already using and relying on the framework, I can just reference their existing test cases in my pre and post change testing with the comfort that they're using these exact same tests (without the complexities of what those tests entail):
As network teams slowly become warmer to the idea of CI/CD, tools like Robot Framework (or ones similar to it) will become integral in those pipelines. So to end off with a DevOps reference, walk over to your application team and ask them what they're using for automated testing. You'd be surprised by what comes out of that conversation.

User:Jtneill/Presentations/Outdoor Therapy as mental health intervention
Title: Outdoor Therapy as mental health intervention: Results from a mixed methods evaluation of how such programs meet desired intervention objectives
Conference: 17th National Outdoor Education Conference, 16-18 Jan, 2012, University of Canberra, Australia
Presenters: Tom Mulvaney, James Neill, University of Canberra
Bio: Tom is an experienced outdoor education instructor and LaTrobe OE/psychology graduate who is currently studying 4th year Honours in Psychology student. James is an Assistant Professor in the Centre for Applied Psychology at the University of Canberra.
Bio images:
Abstract: Outdoor Therapy has received significant coverage in the latter half of the twentieth century with the incidence of such programs continuing to emerge as intervention for adolescents. A number of studies have outlined the clinical therapeutic outcomes of such programs as specific and ancillary mental health interventions. Despite this, intervention has typically focused on adolescent males and has been empirically driven; with a paucity in research focused on Australian participants and on female participants. This presentation will review current literature on Outdoor Therapy and present results from a recent study of Evolve's Young Woman's Program. A mixed methods design was used to quantitatively validate life skill and mental health changes in participants and to qualitatively explore how such change came about. Analysis of key themes and case studies will be used to point towards future directions in outdoor therapy programs for young women in Australia.
Session type: Theory-based, indoor
Space and equipment type: Tutorial room with data projector or Lecture theatre
Optimum number of participants: any (up to room size)
Optimum duration: 60 minutes (min. 45 - max. 90)

text: According to Bungie's weekly update which you can find here, the cap to get to 380 with the new Warmind expansion will take much longer to get to than with the Osiris expansion. This isn't necessarily a good thing to me as the game still hasn't become any more interesting, but here's hoping that all of that changes with the expansion, Hopefully there's a lot more to do. If it's just some story missions and a handful of new adventures like with Osiris I personally will be severely disappointed and will probably never reach the 380 cap. Making us grind more is not the answer to Destiny 2's content issue, making the game more interesting so that we want to go back to have fun rather than be forced to go back and mindlessly grind and resent the game for it with hopes that it is one day good.
