I always love a pop of colour on my cheeks. These three are my absolute favourite go to everyday blushes. The are not bright, just enough look to make you blush (See what I did there?- haha).
The Body Shop - Ginger $27
Isn't she pretty! It gives such a smooth finish with a buildable colour and bit of shimmer and it will stay on your cheeks forever- not really forever but you get what I mean
Illamasqua Lover $38
This is so pigmented and rich in colour, it gives u very smooth satin matte finish. It can also double up as an eyeshadow too. This blusher goes with almost any look- love it!
Estee Lauder Rose Nuance $66
Sheer with a silky finish and its buildable to full intensity. Also, a little goes a long way with this blush.
Have you tried any of these? Did you like them?

Nazi party solidification is the only answer. If Nazis had the power to treat the Jews as horribly as they were by 1938 starting in 1933 they would have, but they did not have the backing or enough support do so yet. Over the course of these years the party rooted its power structure, blasted antisemitic propaganda and systematically jailed their opposition. As they did this over this time span they were able to increase and worsen their harassment of Jews.They needed the either the support or the complacent obedience of the German people and over this time period they won it.
In short, anti-Semitic propaganda fueled by Hitler's influence. Hitler believed that Jewish people were trying to control the country through business and finance, so he strongly urged people to ostracize and pretty much bully Jewish people. As Hitler's influence became more solid, treatment of Jewish people in Germany steadily worsened.
Guessing you are asking about in Germany. Well for starters 1933 was the year that Hitler and the Nazi party replaced the Weimar Republic. Nazi rhetoric blamed Jews for such things as the loss of WWI. The Jews were the Nazi scapegoat and their chastisement provided solutions to Germany's problems. Over the course of these 6 years conditions worsened for Jews and the Nazis solidified their hold. The highest % of votes the Nazi party every received was somewhere in the 40s, but due to Germany's multiparty system this was a clear majority. 33-39 served as a period of gradually easing Germany into supporting the Reich. In addition the party eliminated opposition and bombarded the public with propaganda, usually extremely antisemitic.

While browsing Pinterest, we often see cool technology projects for the art room, but it's sometimes difficult to figure out how they were made. Digital art can be a totally different beast, and the organization needed to pull it off can be daunting.
The AOE 2015 Online Conference will feature forward-thinking art educators sharing HOW to quickly dive into innovative technology projects.
Who: Theresa Gillespie
What: Augmented Reality
Why we love it: Augmented reality takes something stale and plain and brings it to life using an App called Aurasma. Theresa will provide detailed tutorials outlining 5 different ways to use this one App. See an example of just one way to bring a piece of student artwork to life below.
Who: Andrew McCormick
What: Graphic Design with Sumo Paint (free!) and Photoshop
Why we love it: While Photoshop is great, we can't all afford it. In addition to Photoshop, Andrew will walk you through a free alternative. He's sharing two engaging graphic design projects for your secondary students.
Who: Andrew McCormick
What: GIFS
Why we love it: This is one of five FREE BONUS presentations included in the AOE After Pass. You won't see it live on July 16th, but you can review it for up to 6 months after the conference. GIFS are incredibly popular now with students, as they are commonplace in the world of social media on platforms like Twitter, Vine, Tumblr and more. Whether they're simple or complex, creating animations is a great STEAM project that teaches a number of 21st Century Skills. Andrew will show you how!
And if we didn't have your attention already with the fish example above, scroll down for a WILD example. Seriously- if you're prone to seizures, you should probably stop here.
Whether you are tech-phobic and want to get started or already knee-deep in technology curriculum, there is a little something for any art ed technology lover at the AOE Summer Conference! Sign up today!
What are your favorite tech projects to do with your students?

Something else you need to hear. A Beatles cover that equals the original. So different it defies comparison.
This band was full of sidemen. Luther Grosvenor was also Aerial Bender in Mott The Hoople (1974). Chris Stainton was the musical director for Joe Cocker on "Mad Dogs and Englishmen", Henry McCulloch was on something by Paul McCartney, Mike Kellie ended up in The Only Ones. Alan Spenner is on a stray Roxy Music album as a session player. I'm not sure what I should remember Mike Harrison for. The song is from The Last Puff (1970).

The final episode of Coke Studio Season 11 has been the trending topic lately. Momina Mustehsan and Ahad Raza Mir have gotten themselves into something they were not expecting. It has only been four days and almost every Pakistani have lost their cool.
'Ko Ko Korina' is an iconic song sung by Ahmed Rushdi and featured legend Waheed Murad back in 1966 and has been loved by everyone since. Coke Studio recently released their final episode featuring vocalist Momina Mustehsan and Ahad Raza Mir where the duo sang the iconic song with happy faces and were even dressed in a 60's outfit! Little did they know how much negativity and hate this cover had brought to the nation.
Not only fans but also celebrities took it to Twitter to express their feelings. Describing it as horrendous, a massacre to the original song, disappointing and more. Waheed Murad's son Adil Murad was not happy and said, "I profusely apologize to all Waheed Murad fans for allowing #cokestudio to remake or should I say 'ruin' the classic 'ko ko korina' (pro bono). I trusted the coke studio brand but I guess it is now completely run by IDIOTS! RIP #cokestudio". The Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari also took to Twitter to share her opinion on the remake. Pop icon Zoheb Hassan was not having it at all with this cover and requested an urgent reshuffle of the production team. Amidst all the negativity Sajal Aly has taken to her Instagram to defend them both saying, "Three days and counting and it's still all about Ko Ko Korina. Love it or hate it, your call but you don't have to go to town insulting someone's efforts."
Unlike Momina, who could not keep it in herself with all the hate and threw shade at a couple of tweets including Shireen Mazari's, Ahad did find a way to calmly address his fans about his feelings towards all the hate through his Twitter.
The song 'Ko Ko Korina' marks the debut of Ahad Raza Mir.

The Missile Forces of the Yemeni army, supported by Houthi fighters, have fired a ballistic missile at a strategic economic target in Saudi Arabia's southwestern border region of Jizan.
A Yemeni military source, said that short-range Badr-1 missile struck Jizan port, situated on the southern Red Sea coast and approximately 970 kilometers southwest of the capital Riyadh, with great precision on Thursday.
It is worth mentioning that the Missile Force of the army and the Popular Committees continue its missile strikes on Saudi Arabia's vital areas in retaliation for the Riyadh regime's devastating military aggression against Yemenis.

A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a girlfriend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.
Friendship Between Men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a buddy's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept over, and two claimed that he was still there.
A local barber shop installed a new robotic barber to take some of the pressure off of the human barber . A fellow came in for a haircut and after being told about the "new barber" decided he would give it a try.
As the robot began to cut his hair, it asked the man, "What's your IQ?"
The man replied, "140." So the robot proceeded to make conversation about physics, astronomy, investments, insurance, and so on. The man listened intently and said "This is really cool."
Later another man who was waiting for a haircut stepped up to the robot's chair, sat down and the robot asked him before beginning his haircut, "What's your IQ?"
The man replied "100." So the robot started talking about football, baseball, and so on.
This man too thought to himself "Wow! This is really cool."
Next, a third man stepped up to the robot's chair, seated himself and the robot, as with the others, asked him "What's your IQ?"
The man replied "50."
The robot then said, "So, I understand you Democrats are really excited about Hilary running for president?"

John Adams (Provost of King's College, Cambridge)
John Adams D.D. (1662–1720) was an English churchman, and provost of King's College, Cambridge.
John Adams was born in London, and educated at Eton College and Cambridge, where he was admitted to King's College in 1678, took the degree of B.A. in 1682, and M.A. in 1686.[1] He afterwards travelled into Spain, Italy, France, and Ireland; and in 1687 was presented by the Lord Chancellor George Jeffries to the living of Higham in Leicestershire.
In London, he was lecturer of St Clement Danes; rector of St. Alban's Woodstreet, in the gift of Eton College; and Rector of St. Bartholomew, presented by Lord Harcourt, the chancellor. He was also a prebendary of Canterbury, chaplain in ordinary to Queen Anne, and in 1708, canon of Windsor. In 1711 he was presented to the living of Hornsey, by Henry Compton, Bishop of London; and in the following year elected Provost of King's College, a position he held until his death in 1719. He published in 1700 "An Essay on Self-Murther," a reply to John Donne's "Biathanatos," demonstrating that suicide was in no way natural to the human psyche or Divine law.
He was considered as an eloquent preacher, and often employed on public occasions. Fifteen of his sermons were printed from 1695 to 1712.[2]

WESTLAKE >> Westlake wide receiver Jason Heller has a small stature, but looks can be deceiving. The captain's moments just keep getting bigger and he came through again when his team needed it the most.
A week after making a jaw-dropping catch against Oxnard, Heller showed St. Francis that he had some sauce to his step. On a punt return, he shook off three tacklers, went from near side to far sideline for an 81-yard touchdown.
Heller's electric play was complemented by two more special teams touchdowns as Westlake defeated St. Francis at home 35-21.
"Jason's been big for us all season long," Coach Tim Kirksey said. "He's led us like the senior that he is and he just shows every game what a special kind of player he is."

After forcing a three-and-out late in the second quarter, Westlake struck again on special teams. Kamren Fabiculanan blocked a St. Francis punt and Will Lyman cruised into the end zone with 58.8 seconds left in the second quarter.
St. Francis quarterback Darius Perrantes put together a strong performance in the loss. Perrantes was 19 of 34 for 248 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another. His team trailed 21-0 midway through the third quarter, but Perrantes continued to put forth a gutsy effort.
Perrantes leaped 8 yards into the end zone and then hit Bryson Reeves with a 16-yard pass to cut the deficit to 21-14.
"Darius is a gamer," St. Francis coach James Bonds said. "He had a fever last week and really wanted to play, but today he showed the type of player he is. (He is) tough and can really throw it well. A couple of dropped balls really hurt us."

Ultimately the pressure on Perrantes from the Westlake defensive line was enough to vault the Warriors to their fourth consecutive win. Perrantes threw three interceptions, including two returned by Pete Tello.
Westlake starting quarterback Marco Siderman left the game midway through the third quarter after injuring his ankle. Kirksey said Siderman will be re-evaluated Monday.
Westlake (4-0) will face Moorpark next week on the road. Kirksey said the Warriors will need to be more disciplined after committing seven personal fouls against St. Francis.
"I was really disappointed with the penalties tonight," Kirksey said. "That's just one of those things that can't happen and we'll have to clean up."
St. Francis (1-2) will face Saugus next week.

The reduction of the quantitative easing measures coupled with a tightening Base Rate are expected to positively impact the activity within different areas of the credit markets.
Ten years after the 2008 financial crisis, central bankers across the globe are still targeting normalisation of their monetary policies. An example of this is the closure of the Term Funding Scheme (TFS) in the United Kingdom as at 28 February 2018. The scheme was originally introduced in September 2016 as one of the Bank of England's (BoE) quantitative easing (QE) measures in a response to the expected adverse impact of Brexit on the markets' liquidity. Under this initiative, eligible institutions were able to borrow at margins near to the Base Rate.
In response to positive readings of the macro-economic indicators, towards the end of last year the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has also started implementing an ongoing 'tightening' programme for its monetary policy. Market participants are expecting this trajectory to continue, with the MPC to vote for further rate increases which, according to February committee minutes, will be likely to be of a gradual and limited magnitude. These expectations have been reflected in the current upwards trend observed in the short-term rates.
The reduction of the QE measures coupled with a tightening Base Rate are expected to positively impact the activity within different areas of the credit markets. Using the TFS, institutions across the UK have drawn down an accumulated amount equal to circa £130 billion at very advantageous terms. The end of the scheme is expected to force lenders to find alternative funding sources in a rising rate environment.
First signs of the trend can already be observed in the asset backed securities (ABS) market, where the issuance volume in Q1 2018 has been over 40% higher than during the same period last year. In particular, the UK Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) market seems to have picked up in activity during the same period, issuing almost €5.6 billion (£4.9 billion) of notes, showing a quarter-on-quarter growth of over 150%. This additional supply coupled with the end of low-for-long rate environment is expected to result in coupon rates widening.
Also, an increase in borrowing costs is expected to affect prime credit demand. In an attempt to counteract the potential softening of the origination momentum, institutions may start looking at relaxing their underwriting criteria. In addition, an increase in base rate is expected to reduce prepayment rates and therefore limiting the institutions ability to reprice the assets. This constraint coupled with an increase in cost of funding and higher credit premium will result in additional pressure on portfolio profitability.
In anticipation of the above aforementioned scenarios, it is likely that a number of financial institutions will look to analyse potential disposal options for their stock portfolios to ease said pressures.

Electro-Shock Face Art
I saw this video by Daito Manabe at the Tokyo Art Fair today: thirty-six electrode-wired faces twitched in time to a modernistic percussion soundtrack. It was a symphony of facial tics, orchestrated in such a way that each face was "played" like an instrument, with whole sections grimacing and blinking in counterpoint. I kind of hate to admit it, but it was totally mesmerizing. I don't think any faces were actually harmed in the making of this video, because at the end, they all sort of cracked up with the same kind of weird relief you have after stumbling off an especially hair-raising roller coaster ride.
Being friends with artist Daito Manabe might be a bit hair-rasing – here is a video he made, testing the technique on his friends (electric stimulus to face – test4) before he made the piece I saw at Tokyo Art Fair. If you're in Tokyo in March and want to go, info is on their website.

Saving Sumatra's Rarest Wildlife
100% of your donation goes towards Conservation Action.
X The Impact
As recently as the 1950s, the island nation of Indonesia was covered with dense rainforest. Today, just half of this forest remains. Nowhere is this rapid deforestation more apparent than on the island of Sumatra.
Sumatra's flat and rolling tropical lands so highly prized by plantation owners are the same ones preferred by the island's most threatened megafauna. As a result, populations of Orangutans, Elephants and Tigers have dropped precipitously, and these species are now faced with extinction.
Rainforest Trust is working with local partner Yayasan Konservasi Ekosistem Hutan Sumatera (KEHUS) to create three protected areas within the forest ecosystem that will conserve 200,396 acres. These reserves will protect lowland areas in the Bukit Tigapuluh ecosystem increasing protection for Orangutans, Elephants and Tigers, among many other species.
Fast Facts
Central Sumatra, Indonesia
200,396 acres
Key Species
Sumatran Tiger (CR), Sumatran Elephant (CR), Sumatran Orangutan (CR), Helmeted Hornbill (CR)
Tropical lowland forest
Illegal logging, palm oil and rubber development, road construction and poaching

Fewer than 400 Sumatran Tigers survive today. More than 30 of these critically endangered big cats live in the Bukit Tigapuluh ecosystem, which makes protecting the population critical to save the species. Due to its importance for Tigers, the Bukit Tigapuluh landscape has been declared a "Global Priority Tiger Conservation Landscape," one of just 20 in the world.
Of an estimated 1,300 Sumatran Elephants left in the wild, more than 150 remain unprotected in the lowland rainforests of the Bukit Tigapuluh ecosystem. While much of Sumatra's remaining forest consists of areas smaller than 100 square miles—which is too small for viable Elephant populations—the forests in the Bukit Tigapuluh region are still large enough to support multiple Elephant herds. Like elephants, Sumatran Orangutans also prefer fruit-rich lowland forests. Of the approximately 6,300 Sumatran Orangutans left in the wild, over 150 are found in the Bukit Tigapuluh ecosystem. Many of the Orangutans now living in Central Sumatra have been successfully reintroduced after being rescued from the illegal pet trade. In total, the area is home to over 59 species of mammals, six species of primates and 192 species of birds. Some of the endangered species here include Clouded Leopards, Agile Gibbons, Malayan Tapirs, Sun Bears, Marbled Cats and Dholes (Asiatic wild dogs).
Most of the forest in Indonesia is owned by the state, which leases it as "concessions" for exploitative uses, which include logging, mining and agriculture. A small portion of forest has been set aside as national parks and wildlife reserves. Even in these protected areas, however, a lack of law enforcement has permitted illegal logging to continue unabated.
Unprotected areas are appealing to paper, rubber and oil palm developers since these relatively flat spaces can easily be converted into plantations. The habitat destruction caused by expanding plantations poses a direct threat to Sumatran wildlife. Animals that survive the initial onslaught of deforestation are subsequently threatened by hunting. For Sumatran Tigers, the arrival of poachers carries a particular threat—Tiger parts are highly valued on the black market and these animals have been widely hunted. Together, hunting and habitat loss have caused Tiger populations to decline by more than 50 percent in the last 25 years.
Two indigenous groups live within the Bukit Tigapuluh ecosystem and depend upon the forest for their livelihood and continued survival.
The Orang Rimba, or "jungle people," are a nomadic group of about 500 members that have inhabited the jungles of Sumatra for centuries, traveling in tight-knit family groups. Although mostly reclusive, the Orang Rimba occasionally interact with villages on the edge of the forest to trade their goods. The Talang Mamak tribe, which contains approximately 8,000 members, lives exclusively in two central Sumatran provinces and relies on hunting and gathering practices to survive. Though the Orang Rimba and the Talang Mamak have been living on their traditional lands for centuries, they do not possess legal land rights. The creation of new protected areas will prevent the logging industry from destroying their homeland and will provide these communities with the opportunity to continue their traditional lifestyle.
Thanks to the support of our board members who cover the majority of our operating expenses, Rainforest Trust is able to allocate 100% of your project donation directly to conservation action.

Forgive me, channel, for I have sinned. Forgive me, but learn how to cater to me, for I am not a shrink-wrapped sinner, and my repentance will not fit into a shrink-wrapped solution. Okay, okay, I ain't going further into this sinning business! I promise!
My problem is the publisher tells me I always have to be on your side - and this time I just can't. I'm sorry. You'll be glad to know, though, it's all for a good reason - it's about valuing money. Notice how we have money on the cover again? A very Rich entrepreneur told me it's going to bring us good Feng Shui - in monetary terms. Not that it worked for him, but, hey, it might work for us! But I digress.
The truth is I could be valuing money a tad too much. In fact, if this weren't my editorial, I'd say enough of this money talk. Let's talk creativity! Let's talk knowledge economy! Let's bag those who don't! But a friend of a friend (come on, you know I can't reveal my sources!) recently decided I was a bit of a Devil's Advocate for the channel (oh, shucks!). And then proceeded to give me a very acid tongue-lashing (oh, dear!). As it often happens, the point of contention was the value of money.
Unbeknown to me, this friend of a friend worked for a Sydney company that recently paid a developer a cool $300,000 to develop a system that automates the process of TV production. Alas, their money bought them a system that sends every staff member using it into rage. The provider claimed the customer was dumb. "If you are to use the technology," they told the customer, "you'll have to change your ways." The customer is tearing its collective hair out.
The problem is there are two processes in this story and they clash, each wanting the supremacy over the other. First, there is the customer's creative process - they're in the business of making TV programs. And then, there is the provider's creative process - they're in the business of providing technology that will make their customer's job easier and more productive. But instead of delivering a tool, the provider delivered a competing business process.
Now, I know that educating customers requires a bit of tough love. Customers often fail to grasp that the cost of implementing technology often extends beyond handing over the cash and insist on sticking to their old ways. But put yourself in the soon-to-be-hairless customer's shoes and you'll agree that when a business solution you pay good money for ends up costing you dearly in terms of training and interruptions to business processes, it is enough to drive you to sin. And no one pays $300,000 to end up in purgatory.
The point is that expertise in providing technological solutions is only a part of the provider's business. Flexibility is the other. In fact, flexibility is crucial to delivering value for money to the customer. I mean, Pablo Picasso reinvented the conventions of painting, but Pablo knew he was a painter - not a brush and paint manufacturer. So he never tried to reinvent the process of brush and paint manufacturing. And that's what the friend of a friend was trying to tell me. It hurt my ego. Because I believe the channel is a supremely creative space and, let's face it - sometimes, customers are dumb. But she had a point!
Sometimes, we try to be too creative where all we're asked to do is to deliver value for money and not reinvent the wheel! Or change the world. Not that I practice what I preach (just ask my publisher). But we're in the business of making money and its value lies in customer satisfaction. It's an age-old story and our job of turning it into a fairytale over and over again may not be an easy one. But it's a good way to look after your bottom line. Better than relying on Feng Shui. Like that Rich entrepreneur did. Editor, e-mail me at tamara_plakalo.idg.com.au.

However, as most investments go, it takes financial sacrifices which most people have already made and unfortunately cannot sacrifice anymore. Financial aids and grants are an option that could help a parent and their children if they are financially struggling or currently incapable of financing high school or college. Aside from tuition, there are other educational fees that needs to be meet. Here in Bursary and Scholarships, there are different scholarships available here that could be of help to those in need. Scholarships ranging from sports, sciences, to the arts, whatever subjects or fields you child is excelling in, there is certainly a scholarship out there to help and aid you and your child for them to reach their full potential in the academe.

Well I have two VAXstation 4000 VLC computers. One with good video and one without. So I had to find out which one. Well both were configured as microvaxes without a built in console. Next was to remember how to get the video working (S3 is down idiot) and try again. Then there was the problem with the password. But I did remember it after a bit and booted VMS 7.2 for the first time in years. And yes my password had expired and thus I had to change it.
The VAXstation 4000 VLC was physically the smallest VAX made. I think its smaller than the VAXstation 2000. Anyway, the Vaxstation 4000 VLC has a performance rating of 6 VUPs. A VUP is a VAX performance unit. 1 VUP is equal to the original VAX 11/780. Yep this pizza box is 6 times faster than the multirack Vax11/780. Ain't technology great. The VAX 11/780 was introduced in 1977 and the smallest configuration took two equipment frames. It supported a maximum memory of 8 MB and required 3 phase. The VAXstation 4000 VLC was introduced in 1991, about the size of a small pizza box and supported a maximum of 24 MB of memory and would work off a single 110 outlet.

The Mesoamerica Program ´´Strengthening the Capacities to Protect and Assist Migrants in Situations of Vulnerability´´ has as a general objective to contribute to the development and implementation of strategies for the promotion of regular, orderly and safe migration, ensuring the protection of the most vulnerable migrants in Mesoamerica.
Since 2010, the Program is implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), thanks to the support of the Office of Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) of the Department of State of the United States of America.
PRM supports 10 regional programs on migration around the world, including Mesoamerica, in order to support governments to:
- Build capacity to identify protection concerns and humanely manage their migration processes.
- Strengthen regional, multi-state migration dialogues.
- Provide direct assistance to the world´s most vulnerable migrants.
- Promote cooperation between the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR)
- Build regional and national government capacity to prepare for and respond to migration emergencies
Presently, the Mesoamerica Program is implemented in eight countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama.
Migrants in Conditions of Vulnerabily
Not al migrants are vulnerable per se, however, migration involves people with distinc vulnerabilites that deserve special attention.
´´Condition of Vulnerability´´ refers to the social, cultural, economical, political and personal situations that place people at a higher risk of violation of their human rights.
In the City of Tabasco, México, the Mesoamerica Team carries monitoring visits to shelters for migrant persons.
In 2016, IOM developed a framework for analyzing and responding to migrant vulnerability. This framework was specifically developed to address the protection and assistance needs of a specific subset of migrants: those who have experienced or are vulnerable to violence, abuse, or exploitation before, during, or after the migration process. It was also designed to be flexible enough to assess the vulnerability of both individual migrants and migrant groups.
The framework differs from other conceptualizations of migrant vulnerability that focus on an individual migrant's membership in a particular category, such as refugee, irregular migrant, or victim of trafficking, or on a single characteristic, such as age or sex. Rather, the determinants of migrant vulnerability framework look at a range of factors at individual, household, community, and structural levels and assess if these factors contribute to risk of, or protect against, violence, exploitation, or abuse within a migration context.
It considers the overall level of vulnerability of an individual migrant, or a migration-affected household, community, or group, to violence, abuse, or exploitation before, during, or after a migration process, or their ability to avoid, resist, cope with, or recover from such maltreatment, as the net impact of the interaction of these factors at different levels. It also considers the ways in which households, families, communities, and the state can mitigate vulnerability and reduce harm.
Direct Beneficiaries
In its eight phase, the Mesoamerica Program estimates directly reaching 15,000 beneficiaries.
Among them, officers from Ministries of Security, Foreing Relations, Work, Women and Children, Migration Directorates, Customs, local authorities, educational centers, civil society organizations, religious institutions, youth association, among others.
Central Axis of the Program
Capacity – Building
The Program supports in the countries of the region a series of actions and processes that aim at strengthening the capacities to better manage international migration and respond to the needs of the most vulnerable migrants.
Specialized courses, as the one on migrant children offered to officers of the Public Ministry of Honduras in 2016, are part of the offering under the capacity-building activities of the Mesoamerica Program
In all countries of the region, we develop workshops for officers of the General Directorates of Migration and Alienage, National Police, Customs, Women and Children Institutes, Human Rights Attorneys, among other institutions, as well as civil society organizations that work with migrants, at the central and local levels.
In the Darien region, Panama, a workshop on Psychosocial attention was implemented for officers who assist cases of migrants as part of their daily duties.
These capacity-building processes focus over strengthening the skills of officers for the timely identification and protection of migrants in conditions of vulnerability. Particular attention is placed over unaccompanied and/or separated migrant children, the prevention of trafficking in persons, the protection of migrant youth, and LGTBI migrants.
Prevention of the risks of irregular migration and information on the options for regular migration
We raise-awareness in comunities carachetirized by high rates of emigration, and comunities of transit, and destination of migrants, on the risks associated with irregular migration, and the options for a regular, orderly and safe migration and mechanisms of protection at the disposal of migrants.
The InformArte en Movimiento campaign is the central axis of the community strategy of the Mesoamerica Program.
The strategy is implemented through the InformArte en Movimiento information campaign, as well as through the opening of information hubs for migrants at key borders in the region.
As part of the InformArte activities, a series of radio production workshops were implemented for youth from different organizations across the region.
Making use of the latest in technology, the Mesoamerica Program developed the mobile application MigrantApp, including useful and reliable information for migrants in the region. The platform contains safe information regarding consular protection and assistance posts, as well as on the risks of irregular migration.
Direct Assistance and Assisted Voluntary Return
We offer direct assistance to the most vulnerable migrants, identified by government and non government stakeholders, prioritizing unaccompanied and/or separated migrant boys ad girls. pregnant or mother adolescents, victims of trafficking in persons, kidnapping and sexual violence, and stranded migrants.
This assistance is given strictly in line with IOM`s norms on the subject.
Through the Voluntary Return Program, the Mesoamerica Program offers support to migrants that wish to return to their country of origin and fulfil al the needed requirements.
We also cooperate with shelters that assist unaccompanied migrant children who are vulnerable in the Northern Triangle and South of Mexico, on the basis of previously identified needs. Such assistance can include workshops for personnel, assistance in the development of protocols, data bases, and registration systems, equipment, and specialized personnel.
Coordination and regional Dialogue
To promote and assist cooperation mechanims between countries, to comprehensively manage their migration processes, the Mesoamerica Program fostores bilateral meetings in high risk border regions, fostering the participation of central authorities at these meetings. In this key areas, we also promote the operation of immediate response units for the assistance of migrant boys, girls and adolescenets.
At the regional level, workshops are promoted in the framework of the Regional Conference on Migration, an inter-governmental forum on migration created in 1996.
Migration Management on Emergency Situations
We build the capacities of government and institutions to manage migration emergencies, and to anticipate migration crisis and prepare to respond to large migratory movements through the strengthening of coordination between civil protection and migration institutions, as well as the institutions in charge of the prevention and assistance related to trafficking in persons.
In 2017, the Mesoamerica Program implemented a workshop for members of the Regional Conference on Migration on the Guidelines for the protection of migrants in countries affected by conflict or natural disasters.

Looking forward to Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 3? If you're a T-Mobile customer or are considering switching to T-Mobile, October 2nd may be the best day of the year for you. Your shiny new Galaxy Note 3, complete with faux-leather stitching on the back, is launching on Wednesday October 2nd, and pre-orders start on T-Mobile's website as early as this Wednesday, September 18th. Right now T-Mobile's Galaxy Note 3 page just has a simple signup form, so if you fill it out they'll eventually send you an email letting you know that the pre-order page is up. Come Wednesday that page should transform into a proper product page with a pre-order button, much like AT&T's Galaxy Note 3 page does right now. T-Mobile's press release doesn't say anything about colors, and neither does the placeholder page they have up on the site right now, but as far as we know it should launch in pink, black and white as it's scheduled to do so elsewhere. They have also confirmed that the Galaxy GEAR will be launching alongside the Galaxy Note 3, meaning that you can have the newest phablet from Samsung and its companion smartwatch on the same day.
Pricing for the Galaxy Note 3 on T-Mobile is $199 down, with 24 monthly payments of $21, bringing the total of the device to $703. This is actually a little more expensive than the Galaxy Note II was at launch, which debuted at $649 last year on T-Mobile. Likely the increase in screen size, newer hardware and more premium build are contributing to this price increase. Comparatively we only have AT&T's pricing, which is $299 out the door with a 2-year contract, or $724.99 at full price. Pre-ordering the Galaxy Note 3 guarantees that your phone will ship out by at least October 2nd, with a possibility of shipping out earlier according to T-Mobile. If you're interested in pre-ordering the Galaxy Note 3 on T-Mobile be sure to head over to their pre-order page and sign up for more information, and be sure to check back on Wednesday September 18th when the pre-order goes live.

These presentations need to be kept fairly short as the same assessors will observe all of the candidates to make sure that the assessment is fair. You will be given a topic or possibly a choice of topics in advance and will also be told the duration of the presentation, often around ten minutes with five minutes at the end for questions. You can also expect to receive a list of the presentation equipment that is available, usually an OHP.
The assessors are expecting you to demonstrate the following
Quality of Research
You will need to research the topic carefully. Make sure that your sources are all credible and up to date. The internet is probably the easiest way to research a topic but remember to check any information that you want to use for accuracy and currency.
Having gathered all of the facts you need to make your presentation, you will need to put them into some kind of order. The best way to do this is to use cards, about 3" by 5" is ideal. Write one fact on each card, spread them out and then try to sort them in the most appropriate order. It is best to put the most important facts first and avoid trying to get too much information across in the limited time that you have. If the presentation is scheduled to last for ten minutes then you will need to allow one minute at the beginning to introduce yourself and the topic and one minute at the end to summarize your arguments. This means that you only have 8 minutes to get your points across. You may therefore need to discard some of the less important information.
You need to structure your delivery to ensure that your ideas are well organized, logical and convincing. The best way to do this is to support each point that you want to get across with just enough information, before moving on to the next point. Again, you can use cards for this. Write the 'point' at the top and summarize the supporting information underneath it. You should end up with between 5 and 10 cards for a ten minute presentation.
Presentation Skills
The only acceptable way to make a presentation is to speak naturally using cue cards to prompt you. You must not simply read a pre-prepared script – this will not be acceptable. In order to be able to present in this way you need to rehearse the whole presentation at least three times. This will enable you to refine your cue cards so that they hold the minimum amount of information needed to prompt you and you will not be tempted to just read out your notes. Remember to speak at a steady pace and with clarity so that you can be heard. Keep eye contact with the observers and try not to refer to your cue cards other than when strictly necessary.
Handling Questions
At the end of your presentation the observers will ask a few questions. Think about the sort of things that might be asked and try to have good answers ready. If you don't understand the question don't be afraid to ask for clarification and if you don't know the answer, then be honest. If the assessor disagrees with one of your points then you will be expected to defend your reasoning but remember to be polite and constructive.
Use of Time
The assessors will also be checking that you stay within the allocated time frame. This is another reason why you must rehearse your delivery. Even experienced presenters cannot make an accurate measurement of how long a presentation will take to deliver just by looking at their notes. There is no excuse for overrunning your time slot or for running out of material when you have been told how long your presentation should take.
The presentation exercise is a great opportunity for you to stand out from the crowd. Giving a presentation offers you a much better platform than is normally available when simply answering an interviewer's questions. You also have far more control in this exercise than in any of the others. Firstly, you don't need to consider other participants, as you would in a group discussion or role-play exercise. Secondly, you do have control over how you present your given topic or theme.
So if you are asked to give a presentation, be prepared to make the most of this opportunity to show what you can do and have to offer.
The most obvious competency that you are being asked to demonstrate is 'interpersonal communication', especially your ability to communicate a message in a clear and persuasive way. This covers three separate areas:
1. How you organise the material.
2. How you actually present it.
3. How you handle and answer questions.
However, there are two other areas that are often tested implicitly during the presentation exercise. These are:
1 - Enthusiasm for the Role
Do you sound as though you really want to be there delivering the message?
This aspect of job selection is often overlooked by candidates but most employers want someone who has a genuine enthusiasm for what they do. You need to deliver your presentation with a certain amount of passion – don't go over the top but you must engage the audience of assessors. They may be listening to a whole series of presentations on the same or similar topics so don't underestimate how much energy you need to put in if you are going to capture and hold their attention.
2 - Organisational/Strategic Interpretation
Try to demonstrate that you can add value beyond that which the employer expects from the role.
This is easier in some presentations than others, it depends on the topic you're given, but it is often this 'added value' that marks out the successful candidates.
The presentation exercise can take several formats:
1. You are given a topic in advance of the assessment centre and told how long a presentation you need to prepare. You will also be told what visual aids you can use and whether you can use PowerPoint.
If your assessment centre spans two days, then the preparation can sometimes be set as an exercise at the end of the first day. The idea being that you work on it in the evening and give the presentation the following day. These presentations are usually scheduled to last at least 30 minutes.
2. You are given a topic on the day along with some relevant data and a set time, typically 30 minutes to prepare. The duration of this type of presentation is usually 10-20 minutes.
3. The presentation can be linked to other exercises, usually the group discussion. In this instance each candidate is expected to make a presentation detailing the group's findings or conclusions. The duration of this type of presentation is usually 10-20 minutes.
The Six Point Plan
Whichever format a presentation is going to take you can give yourself a huge advantage by knowing how to prepare properly. It does not matter whether the preparation time is several weeks or half an hour, if you have a system that you have practiced using you will have far more chance of success than a candidate who just improvises and hopes for the best.
This also demonstrates another competency to the assessor how well you plan and organise your presentation. For example, depending on the nature and topic of your presentation you need to show how your role contributes to the overall objective i.e. implementation of a new system or procedure into your department. You will also need to illustrate how you plan to communicate and monitor progress to all involved parties in your presentation. IN some instances you may have to also demonstrate another competency - how you will manage resources.
The six-point plan below is both logical and flexible. It is designed to make sure that you don't waste time thinking about what to do, and that you spend whatever preparation time you have as efficiently as possible. There are some qualities that a coherent presentation simply must have and by following this plan you can be confident that your presentation will have these qualities.
This plan will work just as well whether you have three weeks or thirty minutes to prepare. Obviously, with only half an hour to prepare you really can't afford to waste any time and using the six-point plan below will ensure that you make the best use of every minute that you have. The six stages are:
1. Identifying the Aim
2. Identifying the Key Points
3. Planning the Structure
4. Planning the Content
5. Preparing Visual Aids
6. Preparing for Questions
Each of these stages is described in detail in the 'Assessment Centre' eBook .

A real estate lawyer, in the early 1960s Nierenberg realized that a lot of his professional and personal life involved negotiation, but virtually no one is trained on how best to negotiate. "If you're going to try to make everyone else lose who plays with you, and you think life's a game, how far do you think you're going to get in life?" he said later — a rejection of the adversarial process he was taught in law school. "Everyone's going to try to beat you. And, boy, that makes a hell of a life." To come up with a better approach, he founded the Negotiation Institute in 1966, and two years later published the seminal book on the subject, The Art of Negotiating. The bottom line message, Nierenberg said, was "In a successful negotiation, everybody wins." For the next 40 years, he preached that mantra. The Institute continues to deliver that message, with his son as president. Nierenberg died September 19, at 89.

One of the most frequent considerations for travelers to Amsterdam is when to visit, and you should consider February for an off-season trip if you don't mind the chilly weather but want to save money on your trip.
In February, the major tourist attractions aren't deserted by any means, but there will be fewer crowds, and to beat the weather, Amsterdammers offer tourists plenty of tasty options to keep warm, including hot cocoa pauses on the bare Museumplein (Museum Square) and fondue at local Swiss enclaves.
Fortunately, if you bundle up properly and remember to bring the right gear to stay warm, February is a wonderful month to see Amsterdam, either for the first time or as a seasoned tourist.
Amsterdam Weather in February
Although February is Amsterdam's coldest month—with average an average high temperature of—you won't find much snow this time of year since temperatures rarely drop below freezing.
- Average high: 42 degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 degrees Celsius)
- Average low: 31 degrees Fahrenheit (-0.5 degrees Celsius)
Additionally, February is typically fairly dry, getting just under 2 inches of precipitation over the course of 10 days in the month. February gets just over nine hours of light per day, but due to the city having overcast or partly cloudy skies most of the month, you'll only get about an hour or two of direct sunlight per day. Fortunately, that's still plenty of daylight for you to walk to the museums or take a canal boat tour before the nighttime chill settles in over Amsterdam.
What to Pack
Winter in Amsterdam is chilly but not frigid, so you should bring your layered clothing topped with a warm winter jacket, preferably waterproof. Additionally, you should pack jeans in darker shades, and a wool hat, scarf, and gloves will come in handy for any extended time outdoors. Walking shoes, nice sports shoes, or boots are a must while walking along the cobblestone streets and visiting the gardens, but high heels and open-toed shoes are discouraged this time of year.
If you want to dress up a bit for the opera or fine dining, men can put on a nice sweater, dress slacks, and dress shoes, but should also consider wearing long, thermal underwear to protect from the brisk air; women can wear dresses or business casual attire but should always remember to wear a long coat for the former.
February Events in Amsterdam
While you won't encounter throngs of tourists, there are some great events that will draw crowds during the month of February.
- Chinese New Year: Annually held in late January or February, Amsterdam's Chinese community recreates an authentic Chinese New Year celebration every year on the Nieuwmarkt, the heart of Amsterdam Chinatown. The festivities feature a traditional lion's dance and spectacular fireworks, and the Nieuwmarkt itself is covered in stalls and street artists for revelers to enjoy.
- Valentine's Day: While tokens of this non-native holiday have crept into the Netherlands, it's not widely celebrated. However, for Valentines who wish to celebrate abroad, there are some great ideas for romantic activities in Amsterdam, and you won't want to miss the excuse to sample some of the best chocolatiers in the city on February 14 this year.
- De Koninck Blues Festival in Delft: Blues musicians take over more than 30 venues in Delft's picturesque Old Town for a few days each February. Performances are free, but blues workshops and lectures carry a modest fee. Delft is located approximately 40 minutes from Amsterdam.
- Wonderland Festival: This annual dance and music festival features a full lineup of electronic music that takes place in the Warehouse Elementenstraat at Elementenstraat 25.
February Travel Tips
- The cultural arts season is in session during February, so your Valentine's Day plans might include a spectacular production of "Tannhäuser" courtesy of De Nederlandse Opera.
- Keukenhof Gardens, just outside of Amsterdam, will be blooming with crocus and paperwhites. If the weather is warmer, you might even see early daffodils blooming. Established tours and public transit will take you to these famous gardens.
- On the plus side of visiting in February, airfares and hotel rates reach a low this month, as companies try to attract customers with competitive rates. The crowds of tourists are at their yearly low, so February visitors have the run of Amsterdam's popular museums, attractions and more.
- Overall, Amsterdam fashion is "euro-casual," so you'll see guys going to work in a white dress shirt, jeans and dress shoes while women's styles include the traditional, the vintage-quirky, and stylish European clothing available in local shops.

Bodleian Libraries books digitised for the the Google Books project can now be accessed via SOLO, the library catalogue.
About the project
In 2004, Oxford University entered into partnership with Google to scan the Bodleian Libraries' out-of-copyright holdings, in particular those from the 19th century. The initial phase of this work completed in the summer of 2009, with several hundred thousand of our books being scanned and made available via Google Books (http://books.google.com/).
Items were selected solely on their copyright status and suitability for scanning, and the works that have been digitized cover a wide range of languages, disciplines, and genres. They include the first English translation of Newton's "Mathematical principles of natural philosophy" from 1729, the first edition of Jane Austen's "Emma", and John Cassell's "Illustrated history of England".
Accessing digitised copies via SOLO in 2 steps
1. A search on SOLO will normally produce a list of "brief-display" results. If there is a digitized copy associated with a record, as in this example, a line will be added saying:
*** Digitized copy available – see Details tab for link ***
2. Clicking on the title of a bibliographic record found in SOLO or on its Details tab will display the whole record. If the digitized version is available, it will be indicated by a link on the right-hand side saying: View digitized copy (PDF) of… followed by the name of the holding library and the shelfmark of the physical copy that was scanned. Clicking on this link will download the file.
More to come
Further work is planned to enable the text in digitized copies to be searched and to make it possible to cut and paste text from the files. Additional copies are due to be added to SOLO in the future, once they have been processed by Google.
