Responding to this Blog by http://josephalmighty.multiply.com
To exalt the Gift is to give praise to the Highest.
"Thou shalt be the image of my likeness", we are and will always be the image of God, we therefore need to exalt ourselves to the highest. We have so little inside of us that offers us a Dream, the fire's light that begin inside, comes when you realize your Greatness! And is this person asking for "Blessings and Gifts", well we will sea, the heart will receive me, the one God sent to yee.

I am not sure how we are to begin this process. So please let me know what information you need to verify our colors and I will happily provide them.
Again thank you.

Beloved ~ Shawnee~,
If you don't understand me when I break into Song, which it seems that's how I am moving along. Please ask questions so you can understand.
I don't need anything but the asking of you, so you may know Receiving the Greatest God knows. You are the makings of everything good if you could only believe that it is true.
Your colors of the Rainbow Garments of light that you shed, is worn on your flesh, the body you hold. And you are the Blue, the sea of everyone, it is you, who is the heart of everyone. Please read this http://peacefulwisdomprayer.blogspot.com/2009/05/brother-wolf-speaks-warrior-freedom.html to help you along. The Elder Blue inspired the Truth (eternal bells), our Lisping Wise One.
We share the flowing that go to and fro (two directions), it's called the Blue of you and me. You are the oceans of everyone out there. You need to start blessing to keep it down to a roar. The leaves (relatives on the tree of life often called the blue) are here to bring us new, the blessed Rainbow, it's all true (Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy).
Your second color is green, blue and red, the mightiest of colors that land in your head. Your color is Magenta yes this is true, of course you have vision, the knowing of you. The Magenta is the color who offers the Greatest Care to you and me, when the Red light, goes bright with delight, you have the tongue of gifted to speak the right words. But as you see all this colors, when they pass over your bridge, there are so many colors that you get lost in your head. Just realize that they are going over to the other side, you are just the purveyor (to furnish or supply), who gives them a ride. When this happens you open up to God, but when they pass over, the Door seems shut. This is the magenta the second color overlay, and it is the Greatest Caretaker God sends. When you carry the blue and red (magenta), you carry the four directions and all that is known is shed, the Golden Way.
The third of your colors is open and wide, it's the sunshine that opens inside. The color of wisdom that allows you to ask, the cosmic father (golden) who is here to give a blast, of brotherly wisdom from heaven that you seek, the one who has no fear, but must openly speak. When you call the brothers and sisters to come they run to offer you more of relatives to meet.
The last of the colors we all share inside, this is the way, that we can survive. This allows us to be the perfect royalty, when we listen to Grandmother (grey) who walks around us outside this day. These people are part of everyone, because they are the open and darkness of the sun. The tender of fires that lie inside the dark, is where we all go to open up and dream. The Grandmother is the space where we all collide, and Blue is the Color where the heart is felt.
Now you have blue and red (magenta) to offer you the way, the very to and fro, the beautiful display. When you get it back to the inside of you, don't forget to bless each hour in order for you to succeed. There is no other way to open the door within, the four sacred directions and the two that go, to and fro. These are the six directions of the Crystalline we all share. Let us begin the dance of love and gift it all to see, everywhere, because Brotherhood is here!
I hope to see you here with us to offer to all the leaves (relatives), the knowing of a Soul Elder, the Blue of you and me. You are the heart of the people everywhere, and this means you must feel all that is within. Please don't think it is you, but Bless instead, this will offer you peace when all is just unrest.
Blue, Magenta, Golden, and Grey, these are your four sacred colors today. These will change when you learn your way, but not until you leave your flesh to understand a new way. These in this lifetime will gift you the way, of treasures for all and treasures that fall, but wisdom will come home just to know all (seeker or one on a vision quest, who can receive blessings).
Reading your colors are true (feeling) to you and me, but there is so much more if you are willing to receive. The heavenly name, earthly tools and sacred directions too, the evolution's story-the four rolling hills, interpretation of the book of life and songs of the heart speak of the mathematical perfection of all who reside inside of heaven and earth (the blue, the relatives) who shall provide, the meaning of all will belong to the Suns of Israel to distribute to make clear and be true, to all the relatives who long to know the truth, of God's Grace and so much more as you listen and hear the many stories of all our Relatives, for they know all that should be here! We are perfect in the child, who longs to be wild! Freedom Man, Freedom! And Woman will make the STAND. Let me know what you need and I can offer thee, especially the child you hold, the child who can touch the sky. When children see visions we need to pay attention, for they are just coming from Heaven and know more things, and we need offer them room to grow to view with a heart, thank you for coming and receiving my heart.
Maybe you could help Joseph to come and receive too. He has much to offer if he could be used (servant to the people), by the many who need him, by the many who care, when we work together, we become servants to all. And I hope to see you sharing all that you know, because I need the Blue to hold my hand and show, that many are here to bleed (suffer the law of love) to show them the way, but if the Blue doesn't stand up then all will be lost. I depend on you my Brother to last until the day, when the Red Sky comes upon us and we must all go to hide. The migration is upon us and we must find our way, through the valley of darkness that soon will be on our heads. I wish upon a star that Brothers everywhere will walk with me and hold my hand and teach all that is clear.
Lastly, I left this for you...
11:11, is the Crystalline Twin, your Twin (heart of other) Deer (spirit journey) Mother (offering you law of love, to unite broken hearts). This is the returning of the Crystal people everywhere (white and red calves being born), when the Door of Heaven (Crystal people) shall be awaiting all to come and knock to see the truth of God's Heaven sent. We start in heaven and return to heaven this is the way of God.
Inside of us is perfectly the soul and the flesh, which many are calling thee, the Indigo and Crystal for these are perfect warriors who come to seek truth and lay it on the land. The indigo is representing of the Soul of perfection in yee, and the crystal is the representing of the Flesh of perfection in yee, and when you combine the perfect soul with the perfect flesh, you have an elder, who does what he or she says. This seems simple but so many cannot be this perfect harmony. Here is the love that God gave to thee, and when we open our hearts to see, we are able to Receive and be Free.
your devoted servant,
white buffalo calf woman, your twin deer mother
elder crystal person, wakan iyeshka or holy interpreter
ps. if you want to understand more, please visit http://crystal-indigo-children.blogspot.com. We
are not all Crystal people of Indigo people but we are all the representing of the Perfect Soul and Perfect Flesh, now it's time to come home at last.
I will be adding this to http://crystal-indigo-children.blogspot.com so others may realize all what is gifted here. I hope that you will be proud to show the world, of your beauty that lies inside, the Greatest part of Heaven, the Greatest part of thee, and I know that God will dance when all come home because of yee. You are the Great Star God sent home to me!
Holiness David asks for me today to explain how to get to us and how to make your way to understanding the wisdom of all this stuff (spiritual evolution of the eternal soul) that is coming your way, but if we pull together, then we can make the way (yellow, the dream). To put the pieces together, you need start reading all my stuff, the Teachings of White Buffalo Calf Woman, your Twin Deer Mother this Day. The Blogs who tell all the guff of stories untold without a heart, now I must come and make it perfect a start. We need view heaven as we hold ourselves deer (journey), the greatest of evolution is here to stay. I would start at this Blog http://twindeermother.blogspot.com from there you can link all the way along. The Outer hoop (prefer yahoo) (receiving songs of all the world who come along of perfection in their songs) and layers of hoops that will lead you towards the beginning, our Hearts Elders who Lead the Way. http://alightfromwithin.org
Start at the Circle that you feel links your heart, and you will be in the very perfect start. The Third hoop is for warriors (wbcw) (or third hoop starofdavid) who come to lay the land, the Second is training to be the Perfect Stand (Warriors of Prophecy Training) and the Inner Hoop will hold you in active-indigos, who offer the world of truth and offer it afar. The world is our relatives and we must open our hearts, here at this start, we join in perfect hearts. The Hoop of Reflection (prefer yahoo)(center of the blue, the heart that goes to and fro to flow like water knows) will teach the blue, of relatives who long to be with me and you. Videos and technology will bring us this far, and when the story breaks this year many will fall. And we will expose those who don't know their way, but we will save them even if they walk away!
From the heart of Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star who says, "We are going to forgive them anyway, which is the right thing to do."

Four Years Between, Holiness David Running Eagle and White Buffalo Calf Woman (ordained Heavenly and Earthly, both of us) on the Streets Ministering in our Itasca 32' ft Motorhome and Dark Green Jaguar, which all was gifted from the Heavenly Realms. We did not start here, but in a back of a 69 Chevy C20 3/4 Ton, my beloved Chevy never fails, the Earth God gave us to lie down inside of when we finally put up the walls, the 1969 Californian camper and it was installed by our very hands which took six months to kill (Time used to know who would help the flow, not even Christmas Day, our Relatives speak a show, but don't put up and show what is said from their mouths each day), for the Souls of the World as fellow travelers and relatives. Presently 2009 and we will be travelers for another four years as we lead and follow the migration homeward for all the relatives who come home to fulfill the Prophecy of Rainbow Warriors! Welcome home Rainbow Clan, to the third phase of evolution, Heaven and Earth, walking with our hearts in the dark, where heaven lives inside our heart and here we collide to know that God is alive, the Heaven that knows all that is Gold. Brotherhood is here to bring us near, to precious cargo we carry each day!

Hearn Ave
"Nice, Quiet, Cul De Sac"
Kenton Court, in Santa Rosa, California is a nice quiet street that is off of the main road of Hearn Ave, on the south side of town, It is pretty close to the shopping district in Santa Rosa which is 4th Street. The road has nice houses that don't all look alike like most of the houses I see on the same road in California. There was not a lot of traffic on the road but there were many cars parked on the side of the road. There were beutiful trees and there was a lot of land which made most of the houses not so close together.

Linda S. Beeber, PhD, RN – an advanced-practice psychiatric mental health nurse – is a Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing. Dr. Beeber has taught and practiced psychiatric nursing for over 38 years and conducted clinical research in the area of depression in low-income mothers of young children whose life circumstances create disparities in mental health care. She currently is the Principal Investigator on two randomized clinical trials testing in-home, interpersonally-based psychotherapy for depressive symptoms in two populations of Early Head Start parents, English-speaking mothers (supported by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health) and in newly-immigrated, Spanish-speaking Latina mothers (supported by a University-Early Head Start Partnership Grant from ACF/ACYF). She was the Principal Investigator on an ACF-funded University-Early Head Start Partnership grant to develop and test a curriculum for Early Head Start staff to identify, support and refer parents (mothers, fathers, grandparents, foster parents, etc.) who have depressive symptoms. She is currently the Principal Investigator on a grant funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to determine the feasibility of the depression reduction intervention in Latina mothers with limited English language proficiency recruited from a variety of community agencies (child care centers, primary health care settings, social service agencies). Her interest is in bringing effective, culturally congruent mental health care to parents and children who are living with limited resources and in challenging conditions.

Linda Beeber To Be Research Navigator For NC TraCS
UNC School of Nursing online
Professor Linda Beeber, PhD, RN, CS, has been appointed as a Research Navigator at the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS). Navigators are individuals with a extensive backgrounds in translational and clinical research. In addition to a strong publication record, Navigators have experience in mentoring, knowledge of research opportunities, and creative problem-solving skills.
Through NC TraCS, Navigators assist UNC investigators in developing their research goals. They also help researchers determine how those goals could incorporate translational medicine and help them to build multidisciplinary teams to achieve those goals. Navigators also mentor participants in the NC TraCS pilot grant program.
Dr. Beeber has taught or practiced psychiatric nursing for over 35 years. Her research has focused on developing mental health interventions for populations that have difficulty gaining access to health care. One program, which focuses on low income mothers living with depression, has shown that home visits made by advanced practice nurses can help reduce depression symptoms. More recently, Dr. Beeber received a $50,000 grant from NC TraCS to explore approaches for improving behavioral treatments for young children who are suspected to have a disability.
Deborah Mayer and Linda Beeber Awarded Prestigious Translational Research Grants
UNC School of Nursing online
Two School of Nursing faculty were recently awarded grants from the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences (NC TraCS) Institute.
Dr. Deborah Mayer, PhD, RN, AOCN, FAAN, received a $50,000 NCTraCS grant to study the care needs of parents diagnosed with advanced cancer. Over 66,000 adults between the ages of 25 and 54, the prime parenting years, die of cancer every year. Dr. Mayer, along with fellow principal investigator Dr. Leeza Park, MD and co-investigators Dr. Laura Hanson, MD, and Dr. Donald Rosenstein, MD, plan to use a mixed-methods approach to investigate the unique care needs of cancer patients who have dependent children.
Dr. Linda Beeber, PhD, RN, CS, was granted $50,000 by NCTraCS to explore approaches for improving behavioral treatments for young children who are suspected to have a disability. In federally funded early-intervention programs for US infants and toddlers, many enrichment activities depend on parent participation. Mothers who have depression symptoms tend to have difficulty maintaining the activity routine. Dr. Beeber and her research team, which includes School of Nursing faculty member Dr. Todd Schwartz, DrPH, will use the grant to study whether incorporating depression treatment into programs could enhance parent participation as well as treatment for their children.

ABSTRACT: This study estimated the prevalence of maternal depressive symptoms and tested associations between maternal depressive symptoms and healthcare utilization and expenditures among United States publicly insured children with chronic health conditions (CCHC). A total of 6,060 publicly insured CCHC from the 2004-2009 Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys were analyzed using negative binomial models to compare healthcare utilization for CCHC of mothers with and without depressive symptoms. Annual healthcare expenditures for both groups were compared using a two-part model with a logistic regression and generalized linear model.

Research Affiliations:
Research Areas:
Research Interests:
In the McDonald lab, we are taking an integrated systems approach to the study of cancer. This means that we view cancer not as a defect in any particular gene or protein, but as a de-regulated cellular/inter-cellular process. An understanding of such complex processes requires the implementation of experimental approaches that can provide an integrative holistic or 'systems' view of intra-and inter-cellular process. We employ a number high-throughput genomic (e.g., DNA-seq, RNA-seq, microarray) technologies to gather systems data on the status of cancer cells. We strive to integrate into our research program, the exceptional strengths that exist at Georgia Tech in the fields of engineering and the computational sciences.
Our current goals are:
1) development of a generalized cancer diagnostic using mass spectrometric metabolic profiling;
2) development of small non-encoding RNAs as potential therapeutic agents and the use of functionalized nanoparticles (nanohydrogels) for their targeted delivery to cancer cells; and
3) exploring the significance of mRNA splice variants in the onset and progression of cancer.

Sound waves are detected by the auricles and the auditory canal. They are carried to the tympanic membrane causing it to vibrate. The vibration travels through the malleus, incus and stapes (ossicles). The stapes moves back and forth, and pushes the membrane of the oval window. Waves are produced in the perilymph and the tiny sensory hair cells of the cochlea convert it to a nerve impulse. The impulses are carried by nerve fibers to CN VIII and then to the brain.
Bones of the skull can transmit sound directly to the _______ ear. This is called bone conduction.
__________ is the term for hearing loss due to aging. It can also be caused by noise exposure, vascular or systemic diseases,

How stinking cute is this picture above!? I kinda want it painted on my wall, but the only problem is that in a couple months it will be outdated, and I'll have to add on another race participant. Eventually, I will run out of wall space. I get sidetracked easily. Can you tell? Ok, back to the purpose of this post…
I know 4.1.2 has been out for quite some time now, so I'm am a little late with my timing, but I have ran into a lot of people lately asking me about whether or not they should do this update on their Galaxy S3's and Note 2's. I'm guessing they haven't yet, because they have either 1. Been deferring it or 2. Have recently received replacement devices without the upgraded software version.
JellyBean 4.1.2 brings a ton of new features to the Galaxy S3 (most of which came standard on the Note 2 out of box). Some of these enhancements include:
- Multi-View (Multi-Windows Multitasking, Same as Note 2)
- Page Buddy
- New Gallery App (Same as Note 2)
- Brightness Slider In Notification Panel Can Now Be Disabled
- Notification Panel Can Now Be Customized
- Smart Rotation (Screen Display Auto Adjusts To Your Angle of Sight)
- Continues Input in Samsung Keyboard (Like Swype or Android 4.2 Keyboard)
- Paper Artist App
- Group Cast App
If you have the Note 2, by performing this update, you will be able to use more apps in the Multi-Window function. This Rocks!
If you haven't gotten a pop up message alerting you to download the software update, you can always check by navigating to:

OxygenOS is now finally available for the OnePlus One, bringing the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop to this phone. After several delays, the team behind OxygenOS finally pulled off the wraps from the OnePlus' own operating system. This ROM is the pure Android experience that has been optimized for the OnePlus One. Battery life? Features? We'll get to that in a bit. OxygenOS will have to be installed manually. If you have been waiting for a Lollipop update over-the-air (OTA), then you might have to wait for a few more days before CM12S is released. Alternatively, you can install the latest Android 5.0.2 CM12 Nightly ROM. And with that, you will be able to update OnePlus One to Android 5.0.2 OxygenOS Lollipop using this complete tutorial.

Backup and Other Important Tips
Done with the USB drivers? Perfect. The tutorial is on the next page, but first, please take a look at the following tips and important points you need to take care of. These are important, as we don't want anyone losing their personal data or apps:
Always backup your important data that you might need after you install a new custom ROM, an official software update or anything else. Make a backup for just in case, you never know when anything might go wrong. See below for some tips on how to backup data:
- Backup your Apps. How? –> How to Backup Android Apps.
- Backup your SMS messages. How? –> How to Backup/Restore SMS Messages.
- Backup Contacts, Gmail and Google Data. How? –> Sync with Google Sync.
- Backup Call History. How? –> How to Backup Call History.
- Backup WhatsApp Messages. How? –> How to Backup/Restore WhatsApp Messages.
- Backup APN Settings: GPRS, 3G, MMS Settings. How? Note down everything from: Settings > Wireless & Networks (More…) > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
If you already have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod, TWRP etc.) installed on your phone, we strongly recommend a backup using that as it creates a complete image of your existing phone set up. It is easier and faster to restore your phone through a custom recovery.
A few more optional tips that you should remember:
1. Having problems connecting your Android phone to the computer? You need to enable USB debugging mode. See here: How to Enable USB Debugging — for Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat and Lollipop.
2. Make sure your Android device is charged up to 80-85% battery level. This might help you: How to Check Battery Percentage. Why? Because, if your phone goes off suddenly while installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or installing mods etc. — your phone might get bricked or go dead permanently. No one wants that, right?
4. Most of the tutorials and how-to guides on Team Android are for factory unlocked Android phones and tablets. We recommend NOT to try our guides if your phone is locked to a carrier, unless we have specified the carrier name or device model. And also make sure you have an unlocked bootloader (except Samsung).

Colourpop is one of those brands that really got me into makeup and starting my blog and Instagram. They are affordable, great quality products and there is constantly new releases and new products coming out so it keeps the brand fresh and exciting which I absolutely love. So when Colourpop announced that they were adding to their No Filter range (they already had the concealer) with a liquid foundation and powders I couldn't hold in my excitement!! I've been really into base products this past year and trying to find those incredible, staple products for my collection that I know will never let me down.
So on release day I set my alarm for 3am Melbourne time (which is 10am PST) and hoped and prayed that I could manage to order my shades before they sold out. Colourpop posted some great tips on how to pick your perfect shade in the foundation by comparing their shades to shades in other brand's foundations. Looking at that and a comparison I found on Instagram that compared their concealers and foundations I decided to pick the shades Fair 15 and Fair 30. Fair 15 is described as a Warm foundation with light yellow undertones for very fair skin tones and Fair 30 as a Neutral foundation with pink undertones for fair skin tones. I would agree with both descriptions but I wish that Fair 30 was more Neutral and less pink.
Now before I get into this review I'd just like to point out that this is my own personal experience with these products and it may be different to how you or someone else finds these products. My skin is normal to occasionally dry as well as being quite sensitive and have dehydrated under eyes.
Ok, now that is out of the way and you know what my skin is like here's the review for the No Filter Foundation from Colourpop:
Colourpop No Filter Foundation $12USD (Fair 15 pictured)
Below is the description of this foundation from the Colourpop website
Developed for the Selfie Age, our full coverage, natural matte foundation delivers flawless looking skin from day-to-night. The oil-free, lightweight formula blends smoothly and is easily customizable to create the coverage you want. Build it up or sheer it out, it was developed with innovative soft-blurring pigments to deliver true color while looking and feeling natural. The lockable pump is easy to use and keeps your routine mess-free! As always, 100% cruelty-free and vegan.
Net Weight 25mL (0.85 fl oz)
Reading that I had very high expectations of this foundation and especially because I have loved everything I have tried from Colourpop so far. So the moment I received my order in the mail I took off my makeup and put this to the test.
Day 1 approx. 3:30pm-11:30pm (8hours) wear time
Since the foundation had claims like full coverage and matte I primed my skin with my favourite moisturising primer, the Mecca Cosmetica Multi-Purpose Plumping Balm. Once I applied than I took a small amount of the Touch in Sol No Poreblem Primer in my T-zone and cheek area to cover any enlarged pores. I then applied the foundation using a Morphe G6 Flat Buffer brush, which works really well to quickly apply the foundation, whilst keeping the coverage there as well. The foundation is quite liquidy and thin (not like the Fenty foundation) but if you put a pump on the back of your hand then angle your hand to the side it will move fairly quickly down your hand, so I feel as though you would end up using a tonne more product using a sponge. Once I was happy with the coverage on my skin I used a damp Beauty Blender to just finish off the blend and get my skin looking extra smooth and make sure there is now streaks from the brush.
The foundation has more of a satin, natural look to it at this stage and tacky so I feel as though for me and my skin I definitely needed to set it. But before I set the foundation I went in with the Colourpop No Filter Concealer.
Colourpop No Filter Concealer $6USD – Fair 04
Here's what Colourpop has to say about their concealer:
A lightweight, creamy, full-coverage concealer formulated with soft-blurring pigments to create the ultimate matte, flawless complexion.
Finish Matte
Net Weight 4.0g (0.14oz)
I went in with shade Fair 04 to brighten the under eyes, highlight other areas of the face and around the nose. I blended it out with my Beauty Blender and it seamlessly blended in with the foundation. This concealer has a good medium coverage that looks natural on the skin.
Now it's time to set the foundation and concealer..
Colourpop No Filter Loose Setting Powder $9USD – Translucent
I've been on the hunt lately for a great setting power so I had to try this $9 one!
Here's what Colourpop has to say about their loose setting powder:
Lock in makeup with our translucent, weightless loose setting powder. Developed with ultra-fine smooth powders to provide a long wearing, soft focus matte finish without feeling heavy or looking cakey. Always 100% cruelty free and vegan, our formula was photo tested to never flashback, giving you selfie-ready skin in any light.
Net Weight 8.5g (0.30oz)
I used this loose powder with my damp beauty blender to set my under eyes and around my nose and mouth area and oh boy! did my skin look blurred! I love this powder! It is so fine and sets the makeup perfectly and gives your skin that blurred look.
Colourpop No Filter Sheer Matte Pressed Powder $9USD – Fair
Here's what Colourpop has to say about this powder:
Weightless, natural matte sheer pressed powder reduces shine and blurs imperfections in a convenient on-the-go compact. Ultra-fine powder blends seamlessly onto bare skin, over foundation, or as a touch up without creasing or caking. 100% cruelty free, vegan formula was photo tested to never flashback, giving you a natural matte, soft focus look anywhere you go.
Net Weight 5.50g (0.19oz)
I set the rest of my face using this sheer matte pressed powder and it blurred my skin to perfection, leaving my skin silky smooth. This would be the perfect touch up powder throughout the day if needed as it doesn't give coverage it just blurs the skin and doesn't look cakey at all as the description above claims.
The rest of my makeup applied on top of these products amazing and as time went on the products settled into my skin really well, giving me a flawless matte finish. The foundation didn't move at all except for around my nose area as I am always sneezing, etc. from my allergies but it didn't break apart badly in that area, which surprised me as most foundations do that. I took off the foundation around 11:30pm, so after 8 hours wear and it still looked fresh and flawless on my skin!
Day 2 approx. 10:00am-5:00pm (7hours) wear time
I did my makeup exactly the same as Day 1 except for my primer. I used the Mecca Max Bring on Bright Illuminating primer and I found that the combination of the primer and foundation didn't work the best together as my skin wasn't as moisturised and there was no pore filling properties in the primer, so my pores were more visible Day 2. But once I used the powders my pores were less visible but definitely not as much as Day 1. Foundation wore the same throughout both days.
Before I get to my final thoughts and conclusion on these products here's a comparison swatch of the foundation with other foundations I have in my collection:
In Natural Light
With Flash
And here's a photo showing the No Filter Foundation in shades 30 (left) and 15 (right) over a tattoo to show coverage with a a tiny drop of the foundation.
Overall, for the price you can't go wrong! Is there foundations I like more? yes. But for $12 and the vast shade range and gorgeous finish and wear time I will definitely continue to wear this foundation daily. The powders are AMAZING!! I love them both and I already love and use the Colourpop concealer almost everyday. I hope that this was helpful and if you have any questions I didn't cover please ask away in the comment section below.

Pants on the Ground: American Idol Season 9's First Viral Moment [VIDEO]
Paula's gone and Simon has one foot out the door, but nine seasons in, American Idol can still be counted on to deliver viral video gold. The latest William Hung heir apparent is 62-year-old Larry Platt, who auditioned in my hometown, Atlanta, Georgia. Platt, clearly too old for the show (but entertaining nonetheless) auditioned with his own song, "Pants on the Ground." Check out the Fox-provided video below:
The video is quickly becoming viral, with this YouTube copy garnering more than 151,000 views in just over 12 hours. As for Larry, BuzzFeed might be impressed, but he's just one in a million singing guys straight out of Five Points to me. Catchy or not, "Pants on the Ground" is no "MARTA Bus."
What do you think? Are you watching Idol this year? Let us know!

I write a lot of different genres, and some of my favorite ones are the ones where I make up worlds of my own. I can do or have anything happen in these worlds. I can toss the rules out the window. I also love to write stories that take place in the past. The medieval era is one of my favorite times and I can toss a few rules out when dabbling in the past as well.
But there are times when research is essential, no matter where or when the tale takes place. For instance, the Bayou Magiste Chronicles all take place in an alternate version of modern-day New Orleans and the surrounding area. Since the location is real, I need to make sure I am up to speed on the modern culture, the history of the city and the general flavor of the area. In the Warrior's books, the research needs to be a bit more in-depth. Since there are real historical figures as supporting characters in these books, the facts need to be accurate.
Over the years, I've learned how to sprinkle the realism in with the fantasy. When I first started writing in the medieval era many eons ago, I was anxious to show how much I knew about the period, so I crammed in so many details around every event in the book that the darn thing ended up well over 120K words! I read and bought every book I could get my hands on about the area I was writing about, the people I was including and the general way of life of the time. I have a lovely library of books about the Middle Ages up to Elizabethan times.
Then the internet dawned and everything changed. For one thing, it was easier to buy all those research books online. For another, websites dedicated to every possible person, place and time popped up all over. I didn't have to go to the book store or pore through mountains of books to find the fact I knew I had but couldn't remember where I got it from. And I didn't have to wait until the next day when I was writing after midnight and needed a critical piece of information. Of course, this created a whole new distraction.
It's so easy to get caught up in research – the books were bad enough. I could spend hours reading through them, highlighting and flagging pages with places to refer back to later on. But the internet… I could spend DAYS clicking on links and uncovering new details and off I go to another site, then another, then another. Next thing you know, two hours of valuable writing time is gone. Oh, but wait, there's one more place I need to look… poof! Another three hours gone.
I finally had to stop. I came up with a way to keep my focus on the story – mark the place in the book where I needed to confirm something and move on. Finish the scene, chapter, whatever it was that needed to get done. Then, and only then, look up the fact(s) that needed clarification. They can be added in or adjusted during revisions and future edits.
The other dilemma is determining how many of the facts to include. Too much and it's overkill, not enough, and you can't tell 1284 England from modern day U.S. Striking that balance can be difficult – it's so easy to get caught up in adding everything you know. Setting the stage is one thing, piling mountains of monotonous details will send that stage crashing right down.
It's the same thing with the BDSM aspects. When writing paranormal or historical BDSM-themed books, today's standards and protocols don't always apply. There are no such things as safewords in medieval Scotland and Wales (not that I've found, anyway and believe me, I looked!), but there sure as hell is bondage and spanking, multiple partners and the like. On other planets, where the culture revolves around submissive women and dominating men, again, the general rules don't apply. That doesn't mean there aren't certain guidelines or standards to apply, they're just different from what us Earthlings know.
Creating all these different situations requires a different kind of research – brainstorming. I am a firm believer that plotting and planning is research, just as much as looking something up in a book or online. A basic knowledge of our own world is enough to start the creation of another, but the details of that world still need to be spelled out clearly. Which circles right back around again to how much should be included? You want the reader to get a real visual for your world, whether it's a time long ago, or a place on a distant planet, but you don't want to bog it down with too many details.
Striking the balance is something I've learned to do much better these days, though, with each book, when I get to the final edits, I always find something in there that I have way over-killed, or even under-killed! Usually, it's the former – I am a bit too wordy for my own good. And like all writers, every word is near and dear to me, cutting them out is like picking yourself with a needle. Over and over and over again.
I have learned to be ruthless – while some information is fascinating, and usually spurs the hunger to learn even more, sometimes it's best just to address whatever facts there are lightly. The key, I think, is to let the characters, by their words and actions, reflect the historical data such as the laws and culture of the time, or inter-planetary customs in a galaxy far away, or even when two people, one magical, one not, interact.
At least, that's the goal. I like to think I've gotten better at reducing the fat, and getting right to the meat of the story. Now if I could do that with myself! lol

DDS Student, College of Dental Medicine Columbia University, Class of 2017
I was terrified of kids. Well, not of kids so much as treating kids. It was August of my junior year, just barely comfortable treating adults, but I was 3 hours from assisting the residents at Columbia's famed pediatric dental clinic. What if they cry? What if they don't open their mouths? What if they violently thrash about in the chair and I accidentally suction their uvula?!! I was irrationally fearful of every worst-case scenario my brain could possibly overthink of.
When I walked into the clinic, I noticed a definite common ground between pediatric dentists, pediatric patients, and wild animals: they are all adept at sensing fear! The first of the three was my savior: every single resident was very understanding of my apprehension and made sure I took the appropriate baby steps (pun intended) towards becoming comfortable treating children.
After a few days of healthy acclimation, I started asking the dentists what pushed them towards pediatric dentistry. Dr. Kim Leal, a second year resident, mentioned her experience with Kids International Dental Services, an organization responsible for various dental mission trips all over the world. She had the opportunity to serve on a Cambodia mission as a junior year student, where she not only discovered her passion for the specialty, but also gained confidence in pediatric anesthesia, behavioral management, and exodontia. With my newfound (albeit extremely minuscule) fearlessness in child patients, and a longstanding interest in Oral Surgery, I was tickled intrigued. However, it wasn't until my first few pediatric cases that I chose to apply. When I was finally selected, I knew that I was about to embark on the journey of a lifetime.
Rohan at the Cambodian Organization for Living and Training, an orphanage that is home to young adolescents who volunteered to serve as translators for Kids International Dental Services.
As any dental student will tell you, no matter how mentally prepared you are for any procedure, that first time doing it on a live patient always brings this unnerving sense of adrenaline. Because children add a complex behavioral component to any procedure, it often feels like you are learning to ride the proverbial bicycle all over again. We all have different ways of getting over these butterflies; for me, it's to jump right in. It was serendipitous that these missions force you to do just that! Under the guidance of several well-experienced dentists, you are thrown right into the belly of global healthcare. Those who have the confidence and ability to handle this pressure succeed, but it is even more important to understand your limits. This was the second most important lessen I learned: There aren't a million and a half requirements for faculty signatures and card swipes out there, and the sheer volume of those in need means someone may not always be watching your every finger twitch. I quickly discovered that it takes a great deal of humility to quickly identify when you need to pause and take a step back from your dentistry, to seek out a helping hand to resume your role as a student. The most important lesson? I simply have to go back to Cambodia.
Notably, we found that the children who were screened and educated in 2013 had significantly less dental decay and required significantly less dental extractions than children who did not participate in our educational intervention. Between baseline and the 10-month follow-up, the children's plaque index and self-reported toothbrushing behaviors improved significantly, suggesting our brief oral health intervention had caused a positive change in the children's long-term oral health.
In July 2015 we returned to the orphanage, where I led our incredible team of four supervising dentists (including both my parents and now my brother, a pediatric dentist), 17 dental students and eight portable dental units. Our trip was a remarkable success: in five days we provided over $130,000 in comprehensive dental services! In addition, we partnered with a local dental school in Lima who will visit the orphanage in between our annual visits to provide follow-up care.
Our organization is extremely grateful to our loyal local dentist sponsors and several corporate sponsors, including Eastern Dentists Insurance Company. EDIC has generously supported our dental mission for the past two years and we cannot thank EDIC enough! In addition, as our Peru Dental Mission is run entirely by dental students, we would not be where we are today without the unwavering support and commitment of my fellow classmates at Temple. We have students involved from every year of dental school, from freshman to seniors, who also dedicate endless hours to fundraising and planning for our trips.
Our goal is to recruit dental students who will become life members of our "Peru family" and who will return with us year after year. With next year being my fifth year in a row traveling to the orphanage, we have a responsibility to help maintain the oral health of the beautiful children at the orphanage.
In order to continue this oral health program and to create additional programs after I graduate from dental school, I recently established a dental non-profit organization, the Growing Smiles Foundation (www.growingsmilesfoundation.org). My ultimate goal is to create a replicable model so that dentists and dental students can provide both oral health education and clinical services for children in underserved areas, both locally and abroad.

I think Missouri is getting recruited nationally. The success of Midwest guys has greatly improved with people like Buerhle, Scherzer, Detwiler, and Layne all pitching in the big leagues this year. I think kids are seeing that Missouri kids can make it and do a better job of taking care of their bodies and keeping themselves in shape. The training and coaching aspect is probably better than it was 20 years ago.More at Prep Baseball Report

In my endless pursuit of self-improvement, I listen to a lot of podcasts and read a lot of books. One of the key messages of almost ALL self-care/self-improvement media (whether it's about weight loss, spirituality, unleashing your full potential, etc.) is not letting other people's bullshit affect you.
If you want to test yourself to see what mile-marker you've reached on your "journey of self-improvement (puke)," go on a family vacation. Hell, go on ANY vacation with a bunch of adults of all ages and one male 17yr old. The male 17-year-old is not essential- like, don't STEAL one or anything- but if you really want to challenge your zen level, I mean REALLY want to push yourself, I highly recommended incorporating one into your travel plans.
What did I learn about myself?
I learned I've made some good progress, but I still have a long way to go. I learned that if people are pissing me off, I tend to take it out on my husband- which is obviously not cool and needs work. I learned I struggle with wanting everyone to be having a good time and feeling upset when clearly one or two people are not. I learned that I am more able to recognize these feelings in-the-moment and do some self-talk to manage those emotions.
(We're just gonna go ahead and use "they" here- lest I have people calling for my head on a platter)
- "They didn't have to come along, but they chose to because they want to be with the family. So maybe they aren't having a woo-hoo blasty blast, but they are content to be with the group."
- "They are just not as go-with-the-flow are you are and that's ok. Actually, it's great for them! They probably have a better credit score than I do because of it LOL"
- "They literally just said 5 minutes ago they had an upset stomach- this is not about you- you lunatic."
- "We are a loud, obnoxious family, not everyone is used to, or is into, that!"
I also learned I'm not sure what the end goal should even be. Are we not even supposed to have feelings when other people act in ways that we don't like and just understand it's their bullshit causing them to act that way and understand it has little or nothing to do with us? Are we just supposed to accept and embrace everyone for who they are? Most self-care media suggests surrounding yourself and spending your time with people who have similar goals and outlooks on life and avoiding people who drain your positivity. So are they suggesting you just "cancel" family members? I understand cutting ties with family members who have repeatedly shown they can't be trusted; but what about the family members who are just not on the same wavelength as you? Or have very different personalities? Or perhaps some shit they should probably work on? Or just make you crazy? Are we SUPPOSED to enjoy all the time we spend with people and therefore only spend time with people who we enjoy all the time? Well, that can't be it because I would be alone 100% of the time both because there is nobody I enjoy 100% of the time and FOR SURE nobody enjoys ME 100% of the time (LMAO)!

So I'm about to reveal a huge secret…
Today's guest post is written by my secret weapon.
The girl responsible for any and every techy thing behind my blog—because I'm clueless when it comes to that stuff, and well, she's a genius (seriously). She has taken so much stress and work off my plate as I try to focus on the part of blogging I love most—writing. So a big thank you to the sweetest and smartest virtual assistant out there—Cyndi Marie.
Hi I'm Cyndi from CyndiMarie.com. I am a wife, mother, Virtual Assistant and Blog Designer. As a VA I get to work with some wonderful bloggers, helping them share what they love with the world. I have had the great blessing of being able to work with Ashley, and let me tell you, she is just as sweet and amazing in real life as she is here on her blog.
I am so excited to be able to share some of my favorite WordPress plugins and features with you all today! If your blog is running WordPress, there are so many plugins available that can enhance your blog and your readers' experience. But sometimes it's hard to know which ones will work the best, so that's why I've chosen five of my favorites to share with you.
I could seriously write a book about how great this plugin is. This is THE plugin you want for SEO. Trust me, I've used all the others, and this one is the only one that not only helps you optimize your blog, but also makes SEO easy to learn and understand.
Here are just a few of WordPress SEO's awesome features:
- Titles and Meta Templates: Set templates for your titles, meta descriptions, and meta keywords for every kind of post/page on your blog.
- Snippet Preview: This is what dreams are made of (at least for us nerdy SEO'ers). The snippet view shows you exactly how your page/post will be displayed in search results. Brilliant.
- Page analysis: As you are editing your post, the plugin gives you guidelines and suggestions.
- Color-coded status icons: Gives your page a SEO quality score from bad (red) to good (green).
You've probably seen how Google has a recipe search. Ever wonder how to get your recipes in those search results?
This plugin incorporates Google's Recipe View micro-formatting, which essentially makes your recipe SEO friendly and labels them correctly for Google. In addition to micro-formatting, this plugin also displays the recipe in a cute stylized "recipe-card" format, includes a print button with recipe image, and allows for ratings in the comments section.
Everyone knows how beneficial Pinterest can be in increasing traffic and expanding an audience. To make a site super pinterest-user friendly, I use two Pinterest plugins in tandem. When set up correctly, Pin It buttons appear on posts and post images to encourage readers to share the content on Pinterest.
If you're looking for another way to engage and connect with your readers, add an Instragram widget to your sidebar. Instagram for WordPress is my favorite because it is customizable, and (since it only displays one Instagram at a time) it doesn't clutter up your sidebar.
Although not a plugin, this is an excellent feature that very few bloggers take advantage of. Thanks to Google's authorship program, WordPress has made it so that your search results can display your author information. It ties your articles to your Google+ Profile, showing your image and author link. Not only does it make your results stand out because they look super professional, it can also increase your click-through rate, landing more people on your site.
I would love to answer any questions you may have about these plugins or anything else you think I can help you with! You can contact me through my site www.cyndimarie.com.

Besides, not everything needs to be Digged.
I took a look at my most played in iTunes. I don't think I have the sync between the ipod set up right, so I'm sure the count isn't worthy of any-sort of obsessive compulsive, but since I don't sit in a cube with uncomfortable ear-buds for ten hours a day, I suppose this will have to do.
My top ten most played:
1. A call to Apathy [tentative title] by The Shins
2. One By One All Day by The Shins
3. Saint Simon by The Shins
4. A Movie Script Ending by Death Cab for Cutie
5. Know Your Onion! by The Shins
6. I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie
7. Red Right Ankle by The Decemberists
8. title track by Death Cab for Cutie
9. New Slang by The Shins
10. Get Me Away from Here; I'm Dieing by Belle and Sebastian.
Yes I am aware that there is only four bands in my top ten. My top twenty-five doesn't get any more diverse, save for an additional two bands, but since one of those shares Ben Gibbard I imagine it doesn't count. I did however omit a link to a local radio station that I left out.

Greenroom aims to help workplaces create a greener, safer and healthier environment for employees.
They key topic areas are greener, safer and healthier as these values connect with products and services that Alsco provide to over 45,000 businesses around Australia, on a weekly basis.
For example,
- Alsco offers the Ecosafe Washer for mechanics who don't wish to use harsh chemicals when cleaning automotive parts. It is 'greener' (better for the environment) to use the Ecosafe Washer than to use chemical solvents.
- Alsco offers a first aid kit refill service for businesses. By having a well-stocked first aid kit on location a business' employees are 'safer'. If they have an accident then the first aid kit can be used to assist them before they go to a hospital.
- Alsco creates a healthier environment for their customers by offering hygiene services in office washrooms. The majority of influenzas are spread in the workplace by touching common surfaces. By providing sanitising soaps Alsco helps personnel in a workplace stay healthier.
Overall, Alsco is working hard, every single day to deliver a greener, safer and healthier workplace for Australian businesses. We use Greenroom to convey our messages and to delight our readers with new information.

- Submissions should be within an email only and NOT as an MS Word attachment. MS Word attachments are discarded as are ZIP files.

Welsh Black beef and pork are both reared on farms in the area and supplied by butchers Ken Davies a'i Fab in nearby Crymych.

Our Carvery is open every Sunday from 12.30–2.30pm.
Everything is freshly cooked on the day. Local butcher Ken Davies a'i Fab provides all of our meat and it has traceability.

Your crispy roasted parsnips are cooked with honey and olive oil. It is advisable to book for Sunday lunches.
We have now gluten free desserts which include a fruit crumble, a delicious chocolate beetroot sponge and a treacle apple pudding. The chocolate beetroot sponge and treacle apple pudding are now dairy free and also suitable for vegans.

Free Medical Camps to the Rural Villages of Fiji
As the name implies, Health on Wheels is about taking healthcare to those who are unable to access medical services because of their socio-economic situation. Many of us take for granted our relative ease at being able to go to a public health care facility or a private GP. However, there are many less privileged in Fiji who are not able to enjoy this. Health on Wheels is helping in that area of need. The Sai Prema Foundation takes a well-equipped medical team and a Mobile Hospital into the rural areas where we set up camp and encourage the entire community to take advantage of the free services available. Brief summaries of each department are included in this report.
Triage/Health Screening Report
Triage/Health Screening is usually the first point of contact for the patients once they are registered. At the Sai Prema Foundation Fiji's Health on Wheels Medical Camps, Health Screenings have been run by triage nurses of Korovou Health centers, assisted by staff members from Smart Lab, Diabetes Fiji and volunteers from the Foundation. For all the camps, they check patients' blood pressure, blood glucose, height, weight and BMI (Body mass index). Based on the findings, they are referred to the appropriate medical professional for further investigation. Smart Lab, in conjunction with the Fiji Cancer Society have also provided screening for Prostate cancer for males over the age of 40.
Up until August 2017, more than 1,500 patients have passed through the Triage department in total. The department provides crucial coordination and pre-treatment information for all the other health professionals to ensure smooth operation of the camp overall.
For all the Health on Wheels Medical Camps, there have been values and medical awareness workshops done for the villagers. The workshops have been conducted by Mr. Indra Deo, a former director of National Food & Nutrition Center, and a member of the Sai Prema Foundation Fiji. He has been assisted by other Health on Wheels volunteers. These workshops focus on the holistic view of health, addressing the physical, mental and the spiritual needs of the villagers.
Bro. Indra Deo often talks about the 5 human values of truth, peace, love, non-violence and right conduct which are universal to all religions. Villagers are also educated on diet and lifestyle. They are made aware of the prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD's) and its long-term complications especially if not kept in check. At some of these workshops, free dental kits and soap bars were also handed out to the participants to further drive home the message of good oral/personal hygiene.
General Practitioners Report
The General Practitioner team is an integral part of the Health on Wheels Medical Camps by Sai Prema Foundation Fiji. The team consists of volunteer doctors, mostly from the private sector who are sometimes assisted by a doctor from the Korovou hospital and a nurse practitioner from Lodoni Health center (for medical camps in the Tailevu region). Some private General Practitioners make an enormous sacrifice by even closing their own medical center to come and assist in the camps. In addition, 2 general physicians from the CWM hospital have been assisting in many medical camps with their vast experience across the medical specialities. Between 3 and 6 doctors are present in each medical camp. The doctors see triaged patients and this is usually one of the busiest areas of the camp. Till August 2017, the doctors have collectively seen more than 1300 patients. The consultation includes history taking and a thorough examination of the patient, with an explanation of their diagnosis and management. On many occasions, patients see doctors for a specific medical issue and in other instances, it may be for screening of their blood sugar, blood pressure or other similar issues. The most common medical conditions seen are skin infections, respiratory infections, and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and overweight/obesity. With regards to skin disease the most common conditions are fungal infections such as tinea corporis and tinea versicolor, abscesses, impetigo and scabies. Patients who need further investigations and management are referred to the nearest tertiary hospital or medical center with a detailed referral letter. Those who are critically ill are transferred to the nearest hospital for admission and further care. The general practitioners feel very satisfied providing free services to the villagers and the smiles on the patients faces is the only reward that the doctors desire.
Dental Clinic Report
Up until August 2017, approximately 400 patients have been examined by the dental team of Sai Prema Foundation Fiji's Health on Wheels Medical Camps. The dental team consists mostly of volunteer dentists, dental technicians and assistants from the private sector and Fiji National University. They are assisted by the divisional health center (Korovou Health Centre) who provide their staff and as well as the dental equipment and some consumables. During these camps, the dental team provide the villagers with free consultations, oral examinations, fillings and extractions. Complicated cases are usually referred to health centers/divisional hospitals for further investigation/treatment. As part of oral health promotion, Colgate toothpastes and toothbrushes were handed out to the patients seen. These were kindly donated by Colgate-Palmolive.
Sai Prema Foundation Fiji also pays the Ministry of Health and Medical Services for all dental treatments provided to adult patients, however, dental treatment fees for Pediatric patients were provided by the Ministry without cost to the Foundation.
Together with free dental checkups and treatment where required, educational counselling is also provided to patients to ensure that they maintain good oral hygiene. Props are also used to show patients including children how to properly brush the teeth. Dental hygiene issues are commonly encountered at the village level, and with proper treatment and guidance, patients have left the medical camps happy with the treatment and knowledge that they have received.
Eye Clinic Report
The Pacific Eye Institute (PEI) and/or staff from the Eye Department (part of the Colonial War Memorial Hospital or CWMH) support Sai Prema Foundation Fiji's Health on Wheels free Medical Camps by sending their staff to conduct free eye examinations including prescribing free eye glasses where required for rural villagers. So far, at least 300 patients have been examined. Patients requiring further investigation and/or treatment are also referred to the Pacific Eye Institute in Toorak, Suva. Reading glasses, donated by Health on Wheels volunteers, have also been handed out to the villagers where needed.
Some of the conditions encountered include short and long sightedness, cataract and common eye infections such as viral and/or bacterial conjunctivitis. Counselling is also provided to diabetic patients to ensure that they maintain good control of their blood sugar levels and blood pressure which also have a beneficial effect on their eye health. Children who sometimes struggle in school have also been found to have poor eye sight which leads to lack of focus and headaches (usually easily solved with prescription eye glasses).
Dietetics Report
A couple of volunteer dieticians have participated in Sai Prema Foundation Fiji's Health on Wheels free Medical Camps, and provided counselling on types of food, portion sizes, salt and sugar intake and exercise. In some of the camps, some patients who were considered obese were referred to their local health clinics for further management.
Diet & lifestyle is a crucial part of overall health and well-being to prevent non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension etc. One of the biggest advantages of having a dietitian present at the medical camps is that it allows for patients to seek guidance in the comfort of their village/nearby school surroundings where they are more likely to open up about challenges that they face with regards to managing their diet and lifestyles.
The counselling provided by the dietitian (in conjunction with the general practitioners) can potentially help prevent pre-diabetic patients from becoming diabetic for example by counselling on foods which are less starchy (a common problem with Fijians who consume a lot of starchy root crops like cassava), less salty and unhealthy fried foods. Instead these can be substituted with more of leafy green vegetables like belle and dalo leaves which can be sourced and/or grown locally.
Obstetrics & Gynaecology Report
The Oxfam Wellness Centre for Women in Toorak, Suva regularly send their team of doctors and nurses to the Sai Prema Foundation Fiji's Health on Wheels free Medical Camps to do free obstetrics and gynaecological checks for women in the villages. Until August 2017, more than 100 women have been examined during these camps. Women are also given advice on personal hygiene, family planning, infertility and general reproductive health. Some women have had their breasts examined for lumps (possible cancer), and also pap smears have been conducted when required to detect possible cases of cervical cancer which can be treatable especially if detected early. A few cases have been referred back to the Wellness Centre in Suva for further examination. Also, young women have been counselled on prenatal and postnatal care. Fiji has a high birth rate especially in rural areas. Together with GP's, a gynaecologist can provide much needed assistance for women living in rural areas who would not have access to such screenings otherwise.
Pharmacy Report
The pharmacy department is a part of the Sai Prema Foundation Fiji's Health on Wheels free Medical Camps Project for the poor and underprivileged. The department is run by a couple of pharmacists who are part of the Sai Prema Foundation. Along with pharmacists, other volunteers including pharmacy assistants, dispensary technicians, pharmacy students and volunteers have assisted with regular Medical Camps since its inception. Medications are sourced from a variety of donors including the Ministry of Health (via the Fiji Pharmaceutical Services), through internal funding (coordinated, packed and sourced from TappooCity Chemist) and through donations from pharmaceutical suppliers, wholesalers and monetary donations from friends, families and fellow members.
All medications are dispensed completely free of cost to patients that attend the camps. Once a patient is issued a prescription by the volunteer health professional (GP/Dentist etc.), then they will bring this to the pharmacy (usually setup in one of the classrooms of the school camp site) where these would be prepared and then dispensed, and the patient counselled about the safe and effective use of the medication to ensure that they receive the best primary health support and care.
As of August 2017, approximately 800 prescriptions and 1,500 items have been dispensed. The most commonly dispensed medications include anti-fungal tablets/topical preparations, antibiotics, painkillers, de-worming tablets and scabicides. Blood pressure and diabetes medications have also been dispensed along with various other primary care medications.
The pharmacy department is one of the integral parts of the Health on Wheels program to bring reliable healthcare to the door steps of the rural poor and needy population who would otherwise not be able to afford such care due to issues such as the prohibitive costs and/or lack of transport available to travel to the nearest health center, associated treatment costs etc. We have also realized from our initiatives that patients are a lot more willing to positively engage and open up to health professionals about their health problems in their local environment rather than in a hospital setting which is out of their comfort zone. A lot of effort is also taken to educate patients about diet and lifestyle activities, which if taken on board, would treat or prevent future health problems from occurring such as diabetes and other non-communicablediseases.

If you own a Sharp Aquos Crystal on Sprint, you've got an update on the way. According to Sprint, there are quite a few bug fixes as well as some new bloatware added, such as Sprint's new premium caller ID service that lets you see a caller's name as well as their phone number, and integration with Yahoo's Communications Suite.
The new update bumps the firmware version to SA300 and is still based on Android 4.4.2/KitKat. The update rolls out in batches over the course of 1-2 weeks usually, so if you don't have the update available yet, keep checking.
