Your CSS is used to center the child elements of a the body element by using the box-pack property

The webkit-box is used for Safari, Opera, and Chrome (other CSS for IE [-ms-flexbox], FF [-moz-box])

CSS

body{  
  /*...*/
  -webkit-box-pack:center;
  /*...*/

}  /* See below explanation */

Extra space is divided evenly, with half placed before the first child and the other half placed after the last child.

CSS

body{  
  /*...*/
  -webkit-box-align:center;
  /*...*/

}  /* See below explanation */

Any extra space is divided evenly, with half placed above the child and the other half placed below the child.
