The UWA Public Policy Institute proudly presents another in its series of public lectures.On 10 October, Mental Health Day 2019, the Institute held a public seminar involving child trauma experts Dr Howard Bath, formerly the Northern Territory Children’s Commissioner, and UWA’s Professor Helen Milroy, a Commissioner in the Child Abuse Royal Commission. Both speakers shared their extensive experience in trauma-informed practice and discussed the role that schools can play in supporting the mental health of children and young people.Topics included:
• Strategies that help prevent the cycle of adversity being faced by many children and young people
• The ‘why’ behind violence, bullying and the increasing mental health challenges being faced by children and young people
• Responses by schools and communities that are most likely to positively impact the whole school community.﹏The University of Western Australia (UWA) is recognised internationally as a top 100 university.

Let’s find out. Any biohacker knows that to truly take control of your body’s output, you need to first control what is input – beginning with what nutrients it receives. This is why Nutrigenomics are a fundamental part of the biohacker’s arsenal. And why they are our passion.BIOHACK YOUR HEALTHSPAN!
When Big Pharma told an entire industry to zig, we zagged. Now we’re using a groundbreaking new science called Nutrigenomics to help people biohack a healthier life. By studying the effects of nutrients and natural compounds on our genes, we’re creating scientifically-backed products that support cognitive health and promote healthy aging on the cellular level.Our Nutrigenomic products support the body’s natural cellular function by targeting the main biochemical effects of aging, issues like oxidative stress, natural mitochondrial deterioration and more. By awakening your body’s ability to rejuvenate itself on a massive scale — whether by up-regulating your genes’ ability to produce their own antioxidants, your cells‘ ability to produce mitochondria, or your guts’ ability to regulate bacteria — we’re helping you stay on top of the aging process while delivering the mental clarity and overall well-being you need every day to get the absolute most out of life.“The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today… whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”
Aubrey De Grey – Famed Cambridge University GeneticistWe agree with leading researchers that extending human life is inevitable. However, we believe that in order to truly enjoy extreme longevity, we need to biohack our healthspan.This isn’t a future breakthrough — we have proof it’s happening now.
A recent study conducted by the Intervention Testing Program funded by the National Institute on Aging* discovered that Protandim® extended the median lifespan of male mice by 7%. It’s also been shown to reduce oxidative stress in humans by 40% in 30 days. We’re changing the view on aging.Looking for evidence? As scientists, so are we — and we’ve got mounds of it. When your products work, the scientific community takes notice and comes to their own conclusions. Our products are tested in peer-reviewed published studies from laboratories across the nation.WELCOME TO LIFEVANTAGE!!Better health, better lives, and a better world. We’re using groundbreaking science, and a new approach to entrepreneurship to make life a little better for everyone.THE FUTURE OF HEALTH! NOW!!
LifeVantage specializes in a new science called Nutrigenomics; researching, testing, and creating products to address the biochemical effects of aging, with the ultimate goal of biohacking the human body to live longer – much, MUCH longer.In plain English – we agree with leading researchers that extending human life is inevitable, but we believe in order to enjoy that increased lifespan, we need to lengthen our healthspan. This science doesn’t just help you feel good, it lets you enjoy life—which also helps you feel good.OXIDATIVELY SPEAKING…
One of the main biochemical effects of aging is oxidative stress. Which causes your cells to start wearing down. We’re reversing the process. In fact, in a recent study, the National Institute of Aging found that in male mice Nrf2 was the only supplement scientifically proven to increase lifespan by 7 percent. Not to boast, (well maybe a little) but we are pretty proud of that.CELL-POWERED LONGEVITY
But we didn’t stop there. The second biochemical effect of aging is mitochondrial decline. Basically your cells lose power. You need that power so that your organs can work efficiently, you can think clearly, and your body can act when it is called upon. When your cells have the power to do their thing, you feel better and you live longer. We’re boosting mitochondrial production so you can keep that cellular energy for as long as possible. Allowing you to keep doing your thing, whatever that thing is.MAKE THE MOST OUT OF LIFE
We believe working to extend life comes with a responsibility to make that life worth living. And in that, physical and financial health go hand in hand. We’re giving people both with groundbreaking products and the best entrepreneurial vehicle around. No lattes or ping-pong, just the freedom to work on your own terms. Sharing products you’ve had a personal experience with.
January 21 was National Hugging Day — and before you say, ‘Wait…there’s a day for that?’ let me reassure you that of course there is, and it’s incredibly important. So it may not be equal to Independence Day, but some might argue it’s a close second.
Here to show you just how important — oh yeah, and adorable — it is are the incredible folks over at Edgar’s Mission in Australia.

Would someone possibly, maybe, perhaps give me a hug? After that, I’m dying for one!
If you’d like to learn more about the incredible work that Edgar’s Mission does at their animal sanctuary, you can do so here.
Do you love bats? Do you love hospitals? …even if you’re not particularly fond of either, you’ll probably like the Tolga Bat Hospital in Atherton, Australia. Volunteers at the hospital take care of sick and injured bats. They prepare food, feed the bats, clean them and make these little guys feel special and loved while they’re on the mend.
If you don’t have the time to commit to volunteering at the hospital, you can always swing by for a visit. The hospital is open year round and will let you view the feeding session that takes place between 3 pm and 6 pm.
Still not sold on the idea of heading to a bat hospital? Take a look at what you’re missing.
For most of us, coming across a nest of huge spiders would basically be a nightmare.
Though I think they are fascinating creatures, there’s no way I’d be okay with them living inside something that I regularly use. However, one woman couldn’t be happier about all the spiders that are currently chillin’ inside her mailbox.
When Natasha Joyce from Victoria, Australia, recently found a female huntsman spider in the box, she decided to let her — and all of her eggs — stay in there. After a few weeks, she was strangely overjoyed to find hundreds of baby spiders making themselves right at home.
Even the neighborhood kids were excited about all her new little nopes.
Huntsman spiders aren’t actually all that dangerous to humans, but their bites can be very painful. Plus, they get pretty aggressive when it comes to protecting their young.
Apparently, Australians take their koalas very seriously. And who can blame them? The eucalyptus-chomping marsupials are so darn cute. When Melbourne firefighters were alerted to an injured koala stuck in a tree, they didn’t waste a moment coming to its aid.
Nicknamed “Sir Chompsalot” by his rescuers, the fluffy herbivore was able to make a full recovery after receiving CPR and mouth-to-mouth from a Wildlife Victoria employee who joined in on the firefighters’ life saving mission.
That’s right: koala mouth-to-mouth.
He fell from his post high in a tree, luckily landing in the blankets firefighters held on the ground.
MPs are linking their work emails to Apple devices. UPDATE: attorney general George Brandis de-links email from work account.
Software engineer Justin Simon discovered that it was possible to send an iMessage to Australia’s attorney general George Brandis on Sunday.
brandis has iMessage
— wordsonaplatfrm (@justin s)
Simon appeared to enter in Brandis’ publicly available work email, ‘senator.brandis@aph.gov.au’, in the iMessage app and discovered he had linked it to his Apple device.
It effectively means anyone can send an iMessage to Mr Brandis, who has been leading the government’s controversial mandatory metadata collection efforts.
A group of Twitter users started bombarding Mr Brandis with questions and posting the results.

Simon even started finding other MPs who have their publicly available emails linked to an Apple device.
brandis isn’t the only one
— wordsonaplatfrm (@justin s)
A list of government MPs that have emails linked to iMessage include, health minister Sussan Ley, environment minister Greg Hunt, industry and science minister Ian Macfarlane, justice minister Michael Keenan, Nationals MP Luke Hartsuyker, Liberal MP Bob Baldwin and the prime minister’s parliamentary secretary Christian Porter.
They all have their work emails linked to Apple’s iMessage app.
BuzzFeed News obtained one message sent to environment minister Greg Hunt, suggesting the government MPs are receiving the messages.
