I hate that it feels like Summer is nearly over. We have one boiling hot day and then we get punished by six rotten ones.
For the warmer weather I let my skin breathe a bit more. For a lighter base I use Body shop's all in one bb cream.
I'll be honest this is my first bb cream I've used, I thought it was the same concept as a tinted moisturiser. But it's actually entirely different.
The body shop's all in one bb cream is of thin white consistency which changes colour when coming into contact with your skin. It has tiny little almost gritty bits within the product which are called pigment filled capsules. These little beauties burst when applied to the skin releasing the colour which adapts to your skin tone providing a light to medium cover with an even finish.
It gives that lush summer glow without being orangey, is freckle friendly and doesn't clog pores which I've really noticed and is something that I'm really impressed with!
Have you tried a bb cream? Will you be trying this one?

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place cutlets on a plastic cutting board and season with salt and pepper. Top with chopped sage, 2 slices prosciutto each and a few thin slices of fontina. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks. Season outside of rolls with more salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. Add chicken and raise heat to medium high. Brown the rolls evenly, 5 minutes, then place on a nonstick cookie sheet and transfer to oven to roast for 15 minutes longer. Add another tablespoon butter to the pan and melt it. Add mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until just tender 3 or 4 minutes. Add flour and cook another minute. Whisk in stock. Season pan gravy with mushrooms with salt and pepper and turn off heat. Reheat with moderate flame when you remove chicken rolls from the oven and you are ready to serve.
Preheat a second skillet over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil 2 turns of the pan, and the garlic. Add the spinach to the pan in bunches and turn to wilt. Add more spinach as it wilts down until all the spinach is in the pan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and serve warm.
To plate, leave rolls whole and spill sauce over top, spinach alongside, or, slice rolls and fan them out over a bed of spinach and top with mushroom sauce.
*Ask butcher to butterfly the breasts into large cutlets for you. This is a real time-saver! If a butcher is not available to you, cut into each breast from the fatter side and work across the breast, leaving them attached at the opposite side. Open the breast up and pound lightly with a mallet to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Also, in many supermarkets chicken cutlets are available in packages. They are small pieces of thinly sliced breast meat. Simply adapt the method and make 2 small roll-ups rather than 1 large roll up per portion.

Mid Century Bookshelves
Mid Century Bookshelves – Bookshelves, in the standard sense, are excellent organization tools for home books. But it is likely to set up an balance and bring together a number of these design elements of the room while maximizing the usefulness of the shelf. Placing order can make it seem more like art than just furniture whose sole goal is currently storing books.
Employing a bookshelf display and to shop items in addition to books is a technique that can break the monotony made by rows of books subsequent books up. Consider working with sturdy figurine or a bookend to reduce off a row of books about three quarters of the way across a shelf. The remaining quarter of shelf space provides an excellent perch for showing a photo. A couple of shelves down, you can make balance by implementing the same style but leaving the area that is open on the end of the shelf. Alternatively, the shelf space could be inhabited by a design or box, which provides storage for items like remote controllers, stationary, art supplies or even more books. Another idea would be to present a off centre element in a row of books on a shelf. For instance, exhibiting a wooden figurine that stands taller or shorter than the books just of the left (or right) of a shelfs center provides an attractive layout bonus without confiscating much shelf space. These techniques can be applied throughout exactly the bookcase in a balanced arrangement integrate artistic eminence and to bring the design of a room together.
An additional way to liven up an bookshelf would be to group books if they are on the shelf by the colour that faces outward. For instance, grouping books of varying colors of blue collectively produces a sense of unity. If the colors of the book collection seem unbalanced, look at adding equilibrium for instance, two sections of grim books residing on nonconsecutive shelves. Furthermore, color coordinating can be used along with the methods above for more artistic appeal. Figurine with colors or implementing a bookend that contrast with the book color scheme is a great way to draw attention and add dimension to the shelf's components.

WEST CHESTER >> Reports of child abuse in Chester County continue to rise in the wake of the Penn State Jerry Sandusky scandal, according to figures released last week by the county District Attorney's Office.
In 2017, the number of cases of reported abuse that were made to county sources was 1,924, up from 1,681 cases in 2016, an increase of 14.4 percent. However, the 1,924 reported cases were an astonishing 364 percent higher than those made in 2014, the first year of statistics released by the DA's Office. The number of reports that year was 414, 1,510 fewer than 2017.
The figures do not differentiate between reports of physical abuse or those of sexual abuse of alleged victims under 28 years of age.
"With new reporting requirements and other factors, child abuse reports are up across Pennsylvania," said District Attorney Tom Hogan in a news release issued Tuesday. "Every time a child is abused, it is a tragedy. In Chester County, we are lucky to have the resources and dedicated personnel to handle this increased caseload."
Hogan noted that over the years, the DA's Office had added investigators to its county Detectives Office to work specifically on child abuse cases. It did so with the support of the county commissioners, who provide funding for the new hires.
"A key priority of the Board of Commissioners is the safety of our citizens, especially the safety of our children," said commissioners' Chairwoman Michelle Kichline in the release. "Our discussions with the district attorney noted the expected increase in child abuse reports which is distressing and heart rendering, but unfortunately a reality.
"We did not hesitate to provide the resources needed by the district attorney and his staff and appreciate everything that they are doing to protect the children during the emotional process of investigation and prosecution," said Kichline.
In the county, child abuse reports can begin through a centralized reporting system called ChildLine. ChildLine reports can be made via phone (1-800- 932-0313) or through the ChildLine website. Once a ChildLine report has been made, the information is sent to the Chester County Child Advocacy Center, which is staffed by county prosecutors and detectives. The prosecutors and detectives review the ChildLine information and determine which cases will be handled directly by the District Attorney's Office and which cases will be sent to other law enforcement agencies to investigate.
The yearly number of child abuse reports in Chester County are as follows: in 2014, there were 414; in 2015, the number grew to 1,306; in 2016, it rose to 1,681; and in 2017, there were 1,924 reports.
Not all reports, to be sure, resulted in arrests or prosecutions. Hogan's release did not break out the number of arrests made or cases prosecuted. However, it did note that the number of interviews by law enforcement authorities had risen from 233 in 2014 to 363 in 2017.
Once a child abuse report has been received, the cases must be handled very carefully, both to preserve evidence and protect traumatized children, Hogan said in the release. Children are brought to the Chester County Child Advocacy Center, located at the county Justice Center, to be interviewed. The center is designed to be a "kid-friendly zone," where the children can feel secure and comfortable, with toys, an area for family members, and access to a comfort dog from the county Sheriff's Office for children who are calmed by pets.
All interviews are conducted by detectives who are specially trained "forensic interviewers," who have received training on how to interview abused children, making sure to elicit facts without re-traumatizing the child. Virtually every one of those investigators has been to a nationally-accredited forensic interviewing school, and one is fluent in Spanish, a vital tool when speaking with children for whom English is a second language.
The forensic interviews of abused children are often the key to a child abuse case. The number of forensic interviews conducted in Chester County also has been rising steadily, reflecting the increased number of reports and the increased resources used on these cases.
The increases generally can be attributed to three factors, the release stated.
First, Sandusky's conviction for abusing multiple children while he was associated with the Penn State football program triggered a heightened awareness about child abuse. Second, the Sandusky scandal also resulted in a new state law expanding the number of people who must report suspected child abuse and the types of incidents that must be reported.
Third, county law enforcement and other officials have taken an aggressive role in child abuse education and prosecutions, leading to a greater sensitivity to child abuse issues in the community. The release cited the example of a proposed program by the Crime Victims Center of Chester County to help educate children in every grade school in the county.
The DA's Child Abuse Unit consists of three prosecutors — Deputy District Attorney Megan King, who came to the office in May 2015 from Lancaster County, where she had prosecuted child abuse cases; and Assistant District Attorneys Emily Provencher and Erin O'Brien — as well as four investigators — county Detectives Christine Beiler, James Ciliberto, Gerald Davis, and Oscar Rosato.
O'Brien, the newest member of the unit, previously served as an Assistant Chief in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office handling child abuse and sexual assault cases. Ms. O'Brien came to the DA's Office in part by the resources available to fight child abuse, according to the release.
"As a prosecutor, I am overwhelmed by the resources and dedication of Chester County to fight child abuse," she was quoted as saying. "Our detectives, police, and prosecutors are given every tool available to protect children and prosecute predators. This is the way all counties should fight child abuse."

"I am so glad NVISION Laser Eye Centers is on my team," says Casey Kotchman, pro baseball player.
Newport Beach, Calif. (PRWEB) December 17, 2011
Professional baseball player Casey Kotchman credits his amazing 2011 season to improved eyesight.
Aided by NVISION Laser Eye Centers' ophthalmologist Dr. Tom Tooma and affiliate optometrist Dr. Gary M. Lovcik, Kotchman raised his batting average from .217 in 2010 to .306 in 2011. He also led the league in batting average against breaking ball pitches in 2011.
Kotchman's treatment included two unique methods, IPL therapy and RevitalVision, available at NVISION Laser Eye Centers'Dry Eye Clinic in Newport Beach, Calif.
"We discovered a bacterial infection," says Dr. Tooma. "We treated Casey with IPL therapy. This entailed four visits, one month apart, from October 2010 to January 2011."
"Many people already know the amazing benefits of the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light Treatment Laser) to create beautiful skin," says Tooma. "But this technological breakthrough has also been used to unplug the oil glands that line the upper and lower lid margins. The light serves as a healing, warm compress to liquefy any secretions that may be blocking the oil-secreting gland of the eye (called the Meibomian glands). Once the glands are unplugged, the oily layer of the tear film is restored. The oil helps keep tears in the eye, eliminating dry eye, bringing soothing relief, and in many cases, greater clarity of vision."
"Elite players such as Casey are highly tuned into visual cues that help them identify ball speed, spin, and trajectory," says Dr. Lovcik, an Anaheim Hills-based optometrist. "Through a pioneering brain training program called RevitalVision, we can now train and enhance an athlete's vision to supernormal potential which allows the player to read these cues earlier in the ball flight path. This split second makes a tremendous difference in their game."
After undergoing these treatments, Kotchman was promoted from the minors by the Tampa Bay Rays. Just six months later, he was batting .361 in 131 at-bats. And he was hitting with two strikes, best among major leaguers with at least 50 two-strike at-bats.
Kotchman, who holds the Major League Baseball (MLB) record for most consecutive fielding chances without an error, currently is a free agent. "I am excited about my future as a professional baseball player and am so glad NVISION Laser Eye Centers' ophthalmologists and affiliated optometrists are on my team," concludes Kotchman.
Fortunately even weekend warriors can find relief from dry eye using the same methods that helped Kotchman gain his competitive edge. An estimated 22 million people suffer from dry eyes daily. Computer screens, dry climates, medications and even menopause are among the causes of dry eye. More information is available at http://nvisioncenters.com/laser-eye-procedures/dry-eye-treatments/.
About Casey Kotchman
To say that there are few better fielders in Major League Baseball than Casey Kotchman is anything but an exaggeration. Kotchman, currently a free agent, holds the MLB record for most consecutive fielding chances without an error. From July 20, 2008 until Aug. 21, 2010, Kotchman converted 2,379 chances – besting the previous mark by more than 375. During that span, Kotchman also became only the third first baseman in MLB history to have a perfect fielding percentage for a season with at least 108 games. Over the course of his 727 games in the major leagues, Kotchman's fielding percentage stands at an impressive .998. His bat contributes additional value, as he showed off a career-high .306 batting average in 2011 with 153 hits and 48 RBIs. After ending his high school career as Baseball America's top high school prospect of 2001 and the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year, Kotchman was selected by Los Angeles with the 13th overall pick of the 2001 MLB Draft and started the 2006 season for the Angels. He subsequently has played with the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners before joining the Tampa Bay Rays for the 2011 season.

Place the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the beater and bowl with a rubber spatula and change the beater for the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add the heavy cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and vanilla bean seeds and beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick, like whipped cream.
Line a 7-inch sieve with cheesecloth or paper towels so the ends drape over the sides and suspend it over a bowl, making sure that there is space between the bottom of the sieve and the bottom of the bowl for the liquid to drain. Pour the cream mixture into the cheesecloth, fold the ends over the top, and refrigerate overnight.
To serve, discard the liquid, unmold the cream onto a plate, and drizzle Raspberry and Grand Marnier Sauce around the base. Serve with raspberries and extra sauce.
Place raspberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and orange liqueur into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Chill.

Survey reports higher long-term care costs
The average cost charged for a private nursing home bed in 2011 rose 3.5%, to $85,775 annually. The average cost of a semi-private nursing home room grew 3.2%, meanwhile, to $75,555. All figures are according to a report from John Hancock Financial, which surveyed more than 11,000 LTC providers across the United States. Comparatively, the gasoline index has risen 27.5% in the past year, and the food at home index has risen 3.6%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hancock calculated a nine-year average based on data gathered from providers for the company's 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2011 Cost of Care surveys.
In addition to nursing homes, the average cost charged for an assisted living facility grew 3.4% per year, to $39,240, while the average cost of a home health aide has risen 1.3% per year, to $37,440. John Hancock, through its insurance companies, is one of the largest life insurers in the United States.

Springfield man found guilty in 2011 murder
It took a Robertson County jury less than 90 minutes Thursday to find Thomas Lamont Dowlen guilty of first degree premeditated murder in the shooting death of Candice Owens.
Dowlen, now 37, took the stand in his own defense during the three-day trial. He was the sole witness for the defense and never denied shooting Owens, 28, on the front porch of the 12th Avenue East home she was visiting on June 30, 2011.
Instead, he testified that the shooting was a crime of passion, fueled by an altercation he'd had with Owens' brother David at the Springfield Discount Tobacco on Central Avenue minutes before the shooting.
"I was angry," Dowlen said. "I was out of my mind. That was the maddest I've ever been."
The prosecution painted a different picture, however, describing Dowlen as a man seeking revenge. When he couldn't find David Owens, Dowlen targeted his sister, prosecutor Jason White argued.
Jurors heard nine witnesses testify for the state about what happened on the day Candice Owens was shot. Three of the witnesses saw the events first-hand. Two more heard the shots and testified about what followed.
White also called a forensic pathologist, a jailhouse informant and two Springfield police officers to the stand.
One of the first people to testify was Candice Owens' boyfriend Chris Williams. Clad in an orange prison jumpsuit and ankle chains, Williams said he was standing beside Candice Owens on the front porch when she was shot. At times, he became emotional, wiping away tears as he told the jury what he had seen.
"Thomas (Dowlen) was in the driver's seat when he pulled up," Williams said. He testified that Dowlen asked Candice Owens where he could find her brother and that he shot Owens when she asked what he wanted.
"I tried to support her weight, but I couldn't," Williams said. "She fell down and he just kept shooting."
Forensic pathologist Dr. Sandra Thomas later testified that Owens had been shot six times. She had three bullet wounds to the legs, two bullet wounds to the back and one bullet wound to the chest, Thomas said.
One of the two gunshot wounds to Owens' back would have caused "death in minutes" because it hit a major artery and pierced both lungs, Thomas said. The order of the shots was unable to be determined, she added.
"It is possible that she received the chest and two back wounds as she was falling down," Thomas testified.
Thomas was able to recover one bullet from Owens' body at autopsy, she said.
The gun that killed Owens has not been recovered, according to Springfield Police Detective Rickie Morris. Two guns were tested in connection with the case, but both were ruled out.
After the shooting, Dowlen left Tennessee, he testified. He was captured by U.S. Marshals in Georgia on Sept. 13, 2011 and was extradited to Robertson County later that same month.
On the stand, Dowlen recounted the events leading up to the shooting. He and a friend had pulled up to the Tobacco Discount store when they saw David Owens walk out of the business, he said. Dowlen, David Owens, Candice Owens and Dowlen's ex-girlfriend had been "in a squabble" over the ex-girlfriend's new relationship with David Owens.
"We was arguing and he hit me," Dowlen said. After that, David Owens fled in the direction of 12th Avenue, and he followed, he said, adding that he decided to pull over once he saw Candice Owens and Chris Williams.
"I knew if Candice was there, David was there," he said.
He exchanged words with Candice Owens, he said, and then he spotted a white male run past the door of the home, behind Candice Owens and Chris Williams. Thinking it was David Owens, Dowlen said he pulled the gun out and started shooting.
"I remember the first pull but the rest was like a blur," he said. During cross examination, White asked Dowlen why he fled the scene, then the state.
"Most people get scared after things like that," he said. "I'm not a monster like you're trying to make me out to be."
Dowlen was sentenced to life in prison for the first degree murder of Candice Owens. He will be eligible for parole in 50 years, according to White.
The conviction and sentence brought some comfort to David Owens, Sr., he said. After the trial, he said he was planning to visit his daughter's grave in Cross Plains.
"I want to tell her it's taken care of," he said. "She can rest now."
Thomas Dowlen's mother was still trying to process what had happened after the jury's verdict was handed down. Standing at the door of the Robertson County Courthouse, Kimberly Dowlen said she couldn't figure out how to tell her five grandchildren that their father had been convicted of murder, she said.
"He lost his daughter at my son's hand and I understand that," Kimberly Dowlen said. "It just hurts. Thomas is my only child. I don't have anybody anymore."

Several months ago, Sams Valley Community Church (SVCC) Pastor Lee Korner felt the special impact of a passage he'd encountered during his routine Bible studies. "The Gospel of John, Chapter 17, addresses the unity of believers," Korner said. "I started viewing everything, my thoughts and actions, through that filter, and asking, 'Does this facilitate unity in the Body of Christ?'"
A short time later, Nick Cook, Pastor of Red Rock Cowboy Church, phoned Korner requesting a meeting in SVCC's building at 12002 Duggan Road. Within its first year, Cook's congregation had outgrown the space it rented in one structure. Larger venues had become available, but carried proportionately steep usage costs.
Both leaderships met in accord; both felt that unity of Spirit that Korner viewed as the foundation of his decisions. "We invited Red Rock to share our building," he said.
Around the end of May, 2012, a "For Sale" sign on the property at 10663 Meadows Rd, caught Korner's attention. It seemed a good size and location for SVCC's congregation. He asked his daughter, a real estate agent, to look into it. Previous owners, The Reorganized Church of LDS, had purchased a new building near Medford's Rogue Valley Manor, and planned to vacate the Meadows Rd. premises. They had already received an offer for their former quarters, but had rejected the bid.
By coincidence, Korner learned, Kevin and Trica Hale, two SVCC parishioners, had eyed the same building for a Christian School they planned to establish. "They bought 12002 Duggan Rd. for that instead," said Korner. "Their elementary school will be called 'Love Ministries.' We're not completely sure of their opening date yet."
In their continuing spirit of unity, the three entities worked as one to achieve their objectives. SVCC obtained the larger space it sought for its expansion potential. It now meets at 10663 Meadows on Sunday mornings at 10:30. In the Fall it also expects to start a Bible study group.
Payments from Love Ministries help toward whittling down SVCC's loan for the purchase of the Meadows Rd. structure.
Red Rock Cowboy Church pays a more-affordable rent for use of the Meadows building two days per week. "They hold Saturday barbeques and potlucks, followed by fellowship," said Korner. "Also hold meetings on Tuesdays."
"This Friday evening, starting at 7:00 pm, Skylar Harrington will present a concert for SVCC," Korner continued. "It isn't a fund-raiser. It's just fellowship—moving toward that Christian Unity. We hope to bring Christ to bear on more people's lives."

You probably remember the small Round Ripples I made a couple of weeks ago. I just added two more to my collection using the Schachenmayr Bravo Color yarn I bought in May. Unfortunately, the pattern I used is no longer available online so I had to crochet them from memory.
Well, so here are my two Round Ripples:
I now put them on my KALLAX rack together with the red one I made a while back. What do you think?
My craft room / home office looks to sterile from my point of view. There's a lot of white and a little red, that's it. Therefore, I thought I should add some colorful crafty accessories here and there.
Alright ladies, have nice evening - or afternoon or morning or night :)

Staying in Motion
Lesson 2 of 3
Objective: Students will conduct and write about a series of demonstrations that demonstrate that an object stays in motion until it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
I remind students of the videos the watched and wrote about yesterday, as well as the simulation.
I tell them that today we will conduct a simple demonstration to test out Newton's 1st Law of Motion and the principle of inertia.
I review expectations and procedures for this activity, as there is both running and throwing involved, and then we're off!
As a class, we read and briefly discuss these key vocabulary terms I remind them that when they write their hypothesis, observations and question, they need to use specific scientific vocabulary.
I teach the vocabulary for this lesson in a straightforward manner.
- The students silently read the vocabulary and definitions on the board.
- I read through just the words, and they repeat them after me.
- They read the definitions either out loud to the class or to one another and we discuss them, giving brief examples of how the word is used in context.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Focus Questions:
If (a student) runs as quickly as possible past a bucket, and drops a block straight down into the bucket as they pass, what will happen?
* What law of motion explains what will happen? How?
I explain to students that we are going to conduct a very simple experiment that will give us a chance to think about one of the laws of motion. They will run as fast as possible past a bucket and as they reach the bucket, they will drop a block in it. They may not lean or slow down. They must drop the block when they are next to the bucket. I ask the students to write down a prediction about what will happen. I provide the following sentence stem:
If (a student) runs as quickly as possible past a bucket, and drops a block straight down into the bucket as they pass, then....
After they write their hypothesis, we go into the hallways to conduct the experiment. I have found that they can't get up enough speed in the classroom, and as their natural tendency is to slow down so they don't smash into the wall, this pollutes the experiment because they are slowing down as they pass the bucket, which changes the experimental parameters.
As many children as possible get one chance to run past the bucket and drop the block. If possible, I have a student using a camera or ipad to film it so we can look at it in slow motion later.
The students keep track of the number of successes and failures.
We go back into the classroom and using a red pen, they write down what they observed. I provide the following sentence stem:
When students ran as quickly as possible past the bucket, dropping a block straight down as they passed it, _____________________________________.
I ask students to draw a diagram of what they observed.
As a final step, I ask students to write (in pencil again) what they think they could do to increase their chances of getting the block in the bucket. They still have to run quickly, they still may not bend over into the bucket, but given those constraints, what else could they change?
I tell them we will test out their ideas tomorrow.

In a statement, co-chairmen of the awards committee Dickon Stainer and Barry McCann said: "We are absolutely delighted to be honouring the outstanding talent of Hans Zimmer with this award.
"Hans Zimmer's recent work, including Inception, has been a dominant force for classical music specifically in the digital-download era.
"It is only appropriate that four years on from his 2009 win for Soundtrack of the Year for The Dark Knight he should receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music at this year's ceremony."
The event, formally known as Classic BRIT Awards 2013 with MasterCard, will be held at Royal Albert Hall in central London today and be presented by Myleene Klass.
ITV will broadcast two hours of coverage of the awards on Sunday October 6.
At the awards last year the Military Wives choir won the Single of the Year gong for their Christmas chart-topper Wherever You Are and rounded off the evening by performing another hit, the Diamond Jubilee anthem Sing, accompanied by song composers Take That star Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a questions about the Salvation Army's work with Refugees? View the most frequently asked questions below.
For more information, view our factsheets.
Why did The Salvation Army work in Nauru and Manus Island?
The Salvation Army chose to work in Nauru and Manus Island in order to serve those in need. The Salvation Army provided humanitarian support services for asylum seekers in the Nauru and Manus Island Offshore Processing Centres (OPCs) from August 2012 until February 2014. As an organisation, The Salvation Army provided care and support without discrimination to race, religion, gender, ethnicity, legal status or the circumstances in which people arrive d to Australia. The people sent to Nauru and Manus Island are often fleeing dangerous and life-threatening situations. They often arrived traumatised and in need of care. When in the OPCs, The Salvation Army was committed to providing care for these asylum seekers, regardless of politics or popularity. As an organisation, we have been providing care and support to the world's vulnerable and suffering since 1865. The care of asylum seekers in these locations is now in the hands of security and facilities management companies.
How was the work in Nauru and Manus Island funded?
The work was 100% funded by the Australian Government. No funds donated to The Salvation Army for providing services to disadvantaged Australians was used to undertake this work. Regular funds donated in Australia continue to remain in Australia to fund our work with Australians in need.
Does The Salvation Army support mandatory detention and offshore processing?
No. The Salvation Army does not support mandatory detention or the offshore processing of asylum seekers. Our calling is not just to engage in debate and discussion, but to stand with, and alongside people who are vulnerable and in need. The Houston Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers called for - amongst a variety of measures - the reopening of offshore processing centres for people who arrive by boat. This policy has bipartisan support from both major political parties and has been further solidified through the Regional Resettlement Arrangement (know as the PNG Solution). While the policy of offshore processing remains, The Salvation Army urges that all claims of asylum be processed as quickly and reasonably as possible.
Why was The Salvation Army working on Nauru and Manus Island if it opposes offshore processing and mandatory detention?
While we may disagree with particular policies, we always have, and will, be in places where there is suffering or need. This is something we have done for 150 years.
What kind of support did The Salvation Army provide for asylum seekers in Nauru and Manus Island?
The Salvation Army was responsible for providing educational and recreational opportunities as well as emotional and psychological support. Activities provided include educational and English classes, recreational activities and access to computer rooms and gym activities. The Salvation Army also organised cultural events, outings and excursions and sporting events.
Was The Salvation Army working with other groups in Nauru and Manus Island?
Yes. The Salvation Army worked closely with other service providers in ensuring people were properly cared for. These include: International Health and Medical Services; G4S; Transfield; and Save the Children. All these service providers are contracted by the Department of Immigration. As an organisation, we have also welcomed, encouraged and supported the participation of various respected human rights and advocacy groups such as Amnesty International and UNHCR to visit the OPCs.
Does The Salvation Army advocate for the needs of asylum seekers?
Yes. We have advocated for an improvement in facilities at both sites and these requests have been made known to the relevant domestic and Australian authorities.
We work with human rights organisations to promote the needs of asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island, and also the broader needs of asylum seekers in Australia.
We speak to policy makers, politicians, NGOs and the media. Though, due to privacy concerns, not all our work happens in the public eye.
The Salvation Army advocates for the development of proactive, compassionate and appropriate human rights focused policies in relation to all asylum seekers. Watch the video of Major Moulds speaking at the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights.
Was The Salvation Army working with the Government on keeping these people in detention?
The Salvation Army is against the detention of people who are undergoing refugee status determination (either in offshore processing or in onshore detention centres). As an organisation, our preference is for people to be processed in the community. The Salvation Army was working within the current political reality of the Houston Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers and the PNG Solution. This panel recommended the reopening of offshore processing facilities and both major parties are firmly behind this decision, so too a great majority of Australians. (See the latest figures from Essential Vision and UMR Research). The policy of offshore processing is now a reality for the foreseeable future. There are many groups that advocate for an end to mandatory detention, and while we agree that this policy is far from ideal, we are committed to supporting the people affected by such a policy. Regardless of the politics, The Salvation Army strongly believes every person, regardless of their circumstances, is entitled to fair, equal and dignified treatment.
Was The Salvation Army prohibited from speaking to the media? Is The Salvation Army bound by any confidentiality agreements?
No. The Salvation Army was not prohibited from speaking to the media. There are no confidentiality agreements that prevent our official spokespeople from making public comments. We have not entered into any confidentiality agreements with the government that in any way limits our ability to speak to the media or advocate on behalf of those in our care. We have made many public statements and conducted many media interviews since our involvement in offshore processing began. We also ran an active Twitter handle and Facebook account, attended numerous public conferences on asylum seekers and have given testimony to parliamentary committees on human rights.
Did The Salvation Army report abuse or mistreatment?
Yes. Our duty of care to the asylum seekers means any concerns about conditions, suspected abuse or mistreatment and the way people are treated in the Centres must be reported immediately and/or raised with senior management. We also had various mechanisms in place to record and report any such concerns.
Did the Salvation Army look after children in the OPCs?
No. The Salvation Army was responsible for adult welfare services only within the Offshore Processing Centres. Questions and comments about children in detention whether in a family group or as unaccompanied minors (UAMS) need to be directed to Save the Children Australia.
Did The Salvation Army provide medical care and assistance?
No. Medical care and assistance (physical and mental health) is administered by International Health and Medical Services (IHMS).
Did The Salvation Army get involved in refugee status determination (RSD) or immigration matters?
No. Refugee status determination and items relating to immigration are strictly handled by the governments of Australia, Papua New Guinea and Nauru respectively. The Salvation Army has no influence over these matters. Medical care and assistance (physical and mental health) is administered by International Health and Medical Services (IHMS).
Does The Salvation Army have plans to continue its work with asylum seekers in Australia?
Yes. In Australia, The Salvation Army has many programs and services that work with asylum seekers in the community and in detention centres. For example, Auburn Corps in Sydney's West provides a multitude of support services, programs and activities to asylum seekers, refugees and new migrants. In Melbourne, The Asylum Seeker Support Services in Brunswick provides food, clothing, furniture, vouchers and other necessities to asylum seekers living on Bridging Visas. Also our Community Detention program across Australia supports asylum seekers released into the community through case work and living assistance. Our legal team – Salvos Legal - provides free immigration and legal advice to asylum seekers and others in Australia Many Corps and outreach centres are extending their services to support asylum seekers, refugees and new migrants. We remain committed to serving these people through legal support, food, clothing and furniture, language programs and case work. Salvation Army officers have been visiting and supporting asylum seekers in mainland detention centres for many years. The Salvation Army has also conducted holiday programs for families and children in mainland detention centres and is a contracted provider of Community Detention, supporting vulnerable asylum seekers placed in the community with housing and casework services. In addition, we assist asylum seekers through the provision of care and assistance packages in a number of centres around Australia.

One of the most anticipated Jordan releases 2016 is the Air Jordan 11 Low "Varsity Red" although there is no specific date yet. It is expected to be out by summer 2016 but until there is official confirmation, everyone has their fingers crossed.
Air Jordan 11 Low
Color:White/Varsity Red
Style Code:528895-102
Release Date:Summer 2016
Why should you look forward to this model in the first place? The Air Jordan 11 Low "Varsity Red" is a classic colorway retro that cleverly combines two basic shades: white and red. Don't be fooled into thinking that the color combination is boring because far from it – the Varsity Red carries a classic vibe that is hard to ignore.
Primarily done in white with a mesh-like pattern on the center surrounding the laces, it speaks of a breathable pattern that makes it perfect for the long summer days to come. The lower trim is done in shiny red which seems to be of a different material altogether. Completely encircling the shoes, this is the only bold color to speak of in the Air Jordan 11 "Varsity Red".
The soles are done in a translucent yellow-white color with a pure white midsole. From the back, you can easily see the Jumpman done in the color red thanks to the white background. Unfortunately, the Jumpman logo is smaller than usual due to the fact that the red design covers most of the half portion of the shoes.
This low-top design boasts of overly white laces and an equally white tongue which underlines the classic look for the kicks. It can be said that while the red portion gives the shoes personality, it's the white top that makes these shoes wearable in practically any occasion.
Another one for the team, the tongue also sports the typical Jumpman design, but this time a little lower than its usual location. Again, the emblem is done in red and entirely too small compared to others before it.
All in all, the Air Jordan 11 Low "Varsity Red" looks great with every chance of becoming a crowd favorite the minute of its release in the market. Originally made for basketball purposes, this is not an 'aesthetic only' model but is made to be used and abused. Unfortunately, the white coloring means that it can easily collect dirt – but that just adds to the personality, right?
Originally released in 2001 for $115, we are hoping that the Varsity Red will be made available under the same rate this 2016, if not lower. If you don't like the kicks though – there are definitely more to come for this year.

How To Create I-Phone Applications
The easiest way to create an I-Phone application is to purchase software that is made for this purpose. If you can follow the prompts on a software package, you can create your own I-Phone application. This is the best way that you can get started with this process. An I-Phone application is called a widget. It is software that is relatively easy to create. You can go to Google and download software for creating Widgets and use that to create your application. You will create your I-Phone application by using software that you download to your own computer. The widget orapplication will be created on your own computer.
It is not difficult to get widget tools. You can get gadgets or widgets, both are on Google and Yahoo respectively. You can also get generic widget software to create your application. If you decide to create and distribute through theApple site, you can download an application builder that gives you all of the tools that you need to create your own widget and get started with building the widget, debugging it and also distributing it. You will need to go through the debug step before you can upload your application to your Apple account.
If you are very tech savvy, you might want to create your own application by using basic internet tools. You can download free tools that will enable you to create your own applications. Many of the applications for the I-Phone are internet related. By working with a site and basic I-Phone technology skills, you can create an I-Phone application. If you can build a widget, you can make money on it by selling it outright on your own website, without having to use the Apple site.
You can get free I-Phone application software by looking for web software that you can download for free. The same software that can be used for web design and other web applications on your computer can be used to make applications for your I-Phone.
If you have application creation software for your website, you are all set. You should create the application on your own computer website and then download it to your I-Phone. Creating applications for the I-Phone are just like creating anything for a website.
If you do not have a website, you should get one. Whereas it used to be very expensive to have a website designed years ago, much has changed. There are many web applications out there that will help you design your own website. You can also download applications for free. If you have a website, chances are that your hosting site will have tools that you can use to not only create your site, but also to create applications for your I-Phone. You can download the applications that you create on your computer to your I-Phone just as you would download any other application. You can choose to use the application for yourself, or you can also choose to distribute it to others.
There are various web tools that you can use for free online. You should look for web tools that are both PC and Mac compatible. Just as the I-Pod is compatible with both PC and Mac users, you should be sure that the tools you use are compatible with a Mac product.
Creating applications is not difficult. Once you understand how to use software that can create the applications that you want, you can usually find tutorials online. Make your first application an easy one, such as a feed from a local news site. This will give you a general idea of the basic components of the I-Phone application.
If you have web design knowledge, it will be even easier for you to create an I-phone application. If you do not have any ability when it comes to web design or are not computer savvy, but have some great ideas on I-Phone applications that you can create, you can still do so by working with a partner.

The Senate is, right now, debating what may be the most important piece of health policy it passes all year.
FDASIA is a new acronym, not to mention a pretty clunky one (congressional staffers are, reportedly, still trying to figure out how to pronounce it). Its policies, however, stretch back to the mid-1990s, when pharmaceutical firms were getting frustrated with the long wait times for drug approvals. The FDA said it didn't have enough resources to move any faster. So pharmaceuticals settled on a system in which they would pay a "user fee" to help expedite the process.
Research suggests that the resulting law — known as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act — has worked: The FDA increased its reviewer staff by 77 percent and drug approval times dropped from 27 months to 14 months over the first eight years of the act, according to the GAO. Drugs in the United States now get reviewed two months faster than in Canada or Europe, according to a study published in this week's New England Journal of Medicine.
FDASIA is the Senate's latest incarnation of that user-fee legislation, which must be reauthorized every five years. Funding for the current law runs out in September. (The House has a separate bill that's relatively similar.)
Both bills preserve what's already happening in pharmaceutical regulation while making some key additions. FDASIA would, for the first time, assess a $1.5 billion user fee over five years on generic pharmaceutical makers, meant to pay for more reviewers for their products (while most new drugs are reviewed in 10 months, it takes three times as long to move a generic through the system).
The bill would also require drug manufacturers to notify the federal government of an impending slowdown in drug production, meant to address the number of drug shortages that has spiked in recent years.
FDASIA isn't without its critics: Consumer groups have contended that some of the patient safety measures, specifically for medical devices, are too weak, potentially allowing unsafe devices to be marketed, although they have been swayed by new protections added in the course of the congressional debate.
The user-fee legislation looks to have a lot of momentum right now: The House version passed out of the Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously last week and, just today, the Senate bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) got an endorsement from the White House. The Office of Budget and Management put out a statement noting that it "strongly supports" the bill. For all the talk of Congress not doing much, it looks to be on the verge of passing a crucial health policy provision that just about every legislator thinks is a good idea.

Apple's new iPhones are official. The company unveiled its latest iPhones — iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus — at a glittering event in San Francisco on Wednesday. Other than the new iPhones, Apple also launched the second-generation of its smartwatch — Apple Watch 2 at the event.
Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus run on new processors, pack powerful cameras and have a sleeker design. Apple has also made improvements on display, storage and battery front in the new smartphones.
Wonder what are the hottest features of the two new iPhones, the ones that make them a must buy for Apple enthusiasts? Read on to find out …
Both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have upgraded cameras. iPhone 7 has a 12 megapixel sensor that is claimed to be 60% faster. iPhone 7 also has a quad-LED flash with 50% light output, and can detect for the imperceptible flickering of energy efficient lights. Each camera on iPhone 7 has a different focal length, allowing users to pick between shooting photos with a wide-angle or a telephoto lens. The iPhone 7 Plus will also be able to do some software tricks using those two different focal lengths.
It is worth noting that while the iPhone 7 features a single 12MP rear camera, the larger screen variant comes with two 12MP rear camera with 2x optical zooming capability upto 56mm. Both sport a 7MP FaceTime camera for selfies and video chats.
The two iPhone 7 handsets are powered by the new quad-core Apple A10 Fusion processor with 64-bit four core CPU. The processor has two high performance cores and two high efficiency cores for a longer battery life. It also has a new 6-core GPU which is 50% faster than the Apple A9 processor.
Getting rid of the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack has helped Apple make its new iPhones slimmer and boost its battery lifetime. iPhone 7 also weighs slightly less than iPhone 6, while iPhone 6 weighs 143 gm, it is 138 gm for iPhone 7.
With iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the company is bidding goodbye to 16GB as base storage. The new iPhones will come in three variants — 32GB, 128GB and 256GB. Here 256GB is the new addition, and as always there is no expandable storage.
For the first time ever, since Apple launched iPhones the company has redesigned its Home button. The new home button is now touch sensitive and uses a new Taptic engine for better response.
