Missha BB Cream Review #1
by Anna on 07.16.2016
"A Beauty cream which successfully combines many functions"
For a few months, I have been using the Missha BB Cream with sunscreen factor. Thus, today I am in the position to write a quick review about this skincare product. I sincerely hope that my test report will be helpful to you – above all, if you are just dealing with the consideration which BB cream might be the right fit for you.
What does BB stand for?
BB is the abbreviation for blemish balm or beauty balm. This means, that the cream unites in itself the power and effectiveness of different care products – above all moisturizer, make-up and sunscreen.
Until I had tried out the Missha BB Cream, my opinion on combined care products was rather reserved. It is simply often the way that a product with too many functions is able to perform on none of these functions really well. Everything just feels "halfheartedly done" compared to the special products which cover only one area of care.
The Missha BB Cream seems to be one of a few exceptions on which I will now report in greater detail.

How long have BB creams been around?
According to Wikipedia, the composed creams were developed in the sixties by a German dermatologist. Then it got quiet around the BB creams for a long time. Only during the last years, the BB cream trend reappeared – namely from the East-Asian countries that seem to have mastered their production well. The hype has gotten so strong in the meantime, that old school cosmetic developers jumped onto the train and brought their own versions on the markets.
One must admit that the by the big companies produced creams, are mostly not as good as the "originals" from Asia. Apparently, they must have a head-start concerning such combined skincare products.
Therefore, I have bought for myself, after some time of consideration, the Korean Missha BB Cream, because I absolutely wanted to try out "the original". If you're going to do something, then do it. 🙂
Which Missha BB Creams are there?
The Korean manufacturer offers BB creams in five different colors. They are all beige colored tones which I will introduce in increasing color intensity:
- No. 13 Milky Beige (very light skin tone)
- No. 21 Light Beige (light skin tone)
- No. 23 Natural Beige (slightly brown skin tone)
- No. 27 Honey Beige (one nuance darker skin tone)
- No. 31 Golden Beige (dark skin tones)
I have chosen the third-brightest colored tone, because I have in general bright skin. As it turned out, the tone "natural beige" (No. 23) fits my skin type wonderfully.
For Asian manufacturers, Missha offers a wide choice in color selections – the remaining manufacturers only carry on average about 2-3 different products in their assortments.
Moreover, it is still important to know that the BB Cream has a neutral finish and does not darken your skin tone. Having said this, the offered creams are suitable for all skin types.
Look and Feel of the Missha BB Cream
The optical impression of the Missha BB Cream is discreet and still attractive – a tube with pumping dispenser. This is not only practical, but also helps. Thus you can squeeze out the last drops of the noble cream, when required you can even cut open the tube and thus remove the remaining cream.
In any case, the necessary amount in BB cream can be dispensed cleanly and simply. You don't need a lot of cream as the cream distributes evenly and soaks in quickly.
The cream is delivered in a nice wrapping, and therefore also serves the purpose of a present well. Together with its effectiveness and the low price it makes for an ideal gift – better keep the receipt, in case the tone should not fit precisely.
The Missha BB Cream has a slightly creamy texture, however not too extensive (also not too watery). Finally, in addition to its nourishing character, it also has a concealing effect and is creamier than a common moisturizer.
Worth a read: Our Best Moisture Creams Review
The color tone of the BB cream No. 23 is neutral and balanced out well – this product is suited, as already stated, above all for bright skin types. In midsummer, you would even be able to consider the little darker No. 27 if you liked to have a universal cream precisely fitting to your skin complexion.
My present experience has shown that the Missha cream looks a little darker when being applied to the skin. Nevertheless, after some soaking in, it adapts itself quite well to the skin tone.
The scent of the Missha BB Cream is slightly flowery and discreet. It hardly contains fragrances, being a good thing for its skin tolerability. However, it contains plentiful natural ingredients – among them jojoba oil and chamomile extract.
Effect of the Missha BB Cream
For the manufacturer of a combined care product it is certainly not easy to maintain the balance between care and ease. A good BB cream should conceal all skin troubles and redness, without cloaking the skin. It should nourish and flatter the skin without working as a burdensome mask.
Well what should I say, the Missha BB Cream accomplishes exactly that in an easy and nourishing manner. It supplies the skin with moisture and elasticity, covers all irritations and does not darken afterwards – other than many ordinary tinted day creams.
Moreover, it contains with SPF 42 a rather high sunscreen factor and protects us from injurious solar radiation, the main cause for the aging of our skin.
All in one, the Missha BB Cream combines the advantages of a moisturizing sun blocker with the advantages of makeups and concealers. Besides, it causes no long-term pale effect on the skin – an important difference to many other BB creams. The Missha Cream has a medium covering effect. With skin strongly tending to acne, I would recommend an additional concealer (this product is my current favourite).

Drawing a conclusion on my Missha BB Cream Review
The effectiveness of the Missha BB Cream makes clear, why this cream has been received so well within western countries. It is simply clearly better than most BB Creams made by the traditional skincare manufacturers, which are nothing else than tinted day creams with a high sunscreen factor.
If you are looking for a cream which does flawless complexion in seconds, I recommend you try out the Missha BB Cream sometime. If you rather liked to go with a traditional producer, I would recommend alternatively the Garnier Miracle Cream from which I have also gotten some positive feedback from my circle of acquaintances.

Labor Senator Helen Polley has urged students, parents and grandparents in Bass to visit Labor's new website to see exactly how much Tony Abbott's unfair university changes will cost.
Labor's campaign to stop Tony Abbott's $100,000 degrees continues with the launch of a new interactive feature on nodebtsentence.org.
The Debt Sentence Calculator allows visitors to enter a chosen degree to find out how much Tony Abbott's changes will cost them.
Senator Polley said that Liberal Bass MP, Andrew Nikolic, should consult the calculator immediately.
"I think people in Bass will be shocked at the difference. I know for students and their parents in Bass considering university next year or the year after this is a genuine concern," Senator Polley said.
"Labor believes the opportunity to go to university should depend on hard work and good marks, not ability to pay. Does Mr Nikolic agree with this? Will he stand up for his constituents?"
Based on independent modelling the calculator shows the level of debt a university course will incur and how long it will take you to pay it back. For example under Abbott's deregulation modela UTAS student looking to embark on a Science degree will now face a total debt of over $91,000, which will take close to 15 years to repay. This compares to a figure of $19,410 under the current higher education system.
Senator Polley said that she was committed to securing the future of UTAS in Launceston and fighting the Government's planned university model.
"Recently the Launceston City Council wrote to me seeking my unambiguous commitment to the full service Newnham campus.
"I gave my word that I was 100 per cent on board when it came to protecting the campus. The concern I have is this - how many prospective UTAS students will be willing to take on the debt sentence of a $100,000 degree?
"Under the proposed changes the UTAS campus will be the preserve of the wealthy elite, not the highly regarded, accessible institution that it is today. We want UTAS to continue to be an economic driver for the region and a significant employer in Launceston and we don't want it to be a university enjoyed by the privileged few.
"Mr Nikolic must realise that Tony Abbott's plan to deregulate fees will make attending university an unachievable dream for many people in Tasmania."

She is also good at solving emergencyies: when I was in China, Kirsty helped me with applying initial foreign working visa. I had to fly to Beijing to visit the embassy for handing in documents in person. However, I got rejected by the officer for the first time I visted, the officer thought I was applying for the wrong visa. I contacted Kirsty and she immediately solved the problem with contacting the Dutch officer in the embassy and explained the situation. The second day I got my documents processed in time before I fly back to my hometown.
Kirsty is also fast at providing in time suggestions as well. When I found out my travel date is later than the expiration of current resident ID, and my new one was still waiting to be issued. Kirsty immediately booked me meetings at IND to apply for temp visa.

New York – For Noho Next 2013, a showcase of work by 13 emerging American designers, Misha Kahn created lighting inspired by impromptu use of materials in the developing world.
Kahn recently completed Fulbright in Tel Aviv, and during his travels in the Middle East he noticed a kind of 'curious minimalism mixed with ingenious ornament, which is sometimes accidental'.
The idea for the lighting came when Kahn and studio partner Chris Wilson received some glass tubes from a medical facility. 'We wanted to make something that was like how buildings are put up in these developing countries, where it starts with scaffolding but then they have to get resourceful because they run out of the sensible building material,' he tells LS:N Global.
The resulting work, mixing industrial yellow rope, 'hand-squished wax' and tin foil recoated with resin, is a high-concept example of what Jaideep Prabhu calls Jugaad Innovation, or innovation based on cleverness and adaptation to limited resources.
The project is also reminiscent of the hand-made high-tech look of work by Silo Studio, featured in a previous Innovate.

Carl Hiassen tells it like it is
I know no one's even going to bother to read this, but I present it just in case.
Usually, Carl Hiassen writes columns about the politicians on the make in Florida, the con artists, the bogus nonprofits and a lot more, but this one comes from the heart.
His only brother was murdered in the offices of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Md., with several of his colleagues. While the president talks about how people in the news business are bad and evil, the reality is quite different.
One of the dead was a woman who considered herself a part of the family of the U.S. Naval Academy. Her youngest daughter was getting ready to attend the academy's prep school and dreamed of joining her siblings in graduating from the academy and serving as officers and leaders in America's Navy.
I bet you didn't know that. I bet you didn't give a f—ing shit, right?
We in the news business keep having to say that we are not the enemy of the American people and this country. I have worn a military uniform and did my extremely small part, and I still remember how people howled and laughed at me and said that I was joining "the Retard Corps." Yes, I remember that, and more.
Your local newspaper is being killed by the death of a thousand cuts by people on Wall Street and in the corporate offices who wouldn't know a comma from a semicolon, but wait until the newspaper is gone and no one is covering your city commission, county commission or school board, and keeping an eye on them.
In Manatee County, the Bradenton Herald has put out articles about how a botched software upgrade has created a costly administrative mess. The school district would rather we print their press releases about some new bureaucrat, but we like to dig deeper. Or how about that "guardian" who turns out to have radical anti-government views and believes in all sorts of wild conspiracy theories, including the desirability of shooting SWAT team members in the head?
After our reporter called the district about his social media postings, suddenly action was taken.
Oh, that's right, that shit-heels rapper just died. Let's hit our knees and mourn for some guy with more tattoos than brains.
Look, journalists tell you the stuff you might not want to hear. After the government bodies in your community go totally corrupt, who are you going to call? There might not be anyone to answer the phone. And if the CEOs of some major newspaper companies have their way, there won't be anyone to answer the phone, there won't be anyone to investigate the story and there won't be anyone to edit it for publication either online or in print.
I am not an enemy of the people. If you think I am, let me know.

Mexican Silver Libertads
The Silver Libertad coin is a beautiful addition to any Silver coin collection.Mexican Silver Libertads - Mexican Silver Libertads are .999-fine Silver and are some of the most beautiful Silver coins in the world. The obverse of the Silver Libertad coin features the Mexican National Seal with an eagle atop a cactus, clutching a serpent in its beak. Surrounding the eagle on these Mexican Silver coins are a wreath and the official name of Mexico in Spanish, "Estados Unidos Mexicanos."
Mexico Silver Libertad DesignThe Silver Libertad's reverse depicts two key symbols of the Mexican people: the Angel of Independence and the Mexican volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. Appearing in the forefront of the Silver coin, the Winged Victory angel is a historic monument for the Mexican people and is considered the symbol of Mexico City. The Mexican volcanoes pictured in the background of the reverse memorialize the legend of the two lovers from whom they were named.
History of the Silver Libertad CoinsAccording to a pre-Columbian legend, a warrior named Popocatépetl fell in love with Iztaccíhuatl, a king's daughter, and earned a tentative marriage blessing from the king on the condition that he win a battle against a rival tribe. While the battle delayed the warrior, a rival suitor started a rumor that Popocatépetl had been killed in the battle, and the fair maiden died of a broken heart. Upon finally returning as the victor from the battle, Popocatépetl discovered the fate of his lover and buried her on top of a mountain range that assumed the shape of a sleeping woman in honor of the dead maiden. Grief-stricken, Popocatépetl climbed an adjacent mountain in order to keep eternal watch over his beloved. Today, the depiction of the volcanoes on the Silver Libertad coin still tells the lovers' story.

Invest in more than Silver, Buy a Mexican Libertad Coin online.In purchasing a Silver Libertad, collectors not only are making an investment in a fine Silver coin, but they also are buying a piece of both Mexican and world coinage history. The Mexican Silver Libertad beautifully depicts two of the Mexican people's most iconic symbols on the reverse, the Angel of Independence and the Mexican volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, and the Mexican National Seal on the obverse. These Mexican Silver coins come in a variety of weights, providing collectors options to fit their investment budget. Silver coins depicting Mexico's legendary history are a smart addition to any collection that includes beautiful historic coins.
Silver Libertad Coin HistoryCoins like the Silver Libertad are minted from Silver that has a rich history. Today's Silver coins are part of thousands of years of using Silver in trade and as coins, with the ancient Chaldean people in the area known as Turkey today created a process known as "cupellation." This process removed Silver from lead-Silver ores in what is widely acknowledged as the first documented method to process Silver. While these Mexican Silver Libertad coins date back to 1982, Silver coins were first documented in the eastern Mediterranean in 550 BC. Mexican Silver coins from the Mexican Mint did not surface until many years later, when, in 1535, the Mexican Mint was created on a decree from the Spanish Crown to create the first mint in the Americas.
Mexican Mint Creates Silver CoinsThe Mexican Mint created Mexican Silver coins in vast quantities and, together with Peru and Bolivia, minted nearly 85 percent of the world's Silver between 1500 and 1800. In fact, Silver coins known as the Silver 8 reales coin and Silver peso began circulating throughout the Americans and Asia, becoming the basis for many modern day currencies. Now minting Silver Libertad and other numismatic Silver coins, the Mexican Mint still remains an icon for coin minting throughout the world. Today, Silver spot prices are attributed, in part, due to the rich history and dedication to minting excellence seen in the Mexican Mint.
Purchase Silver Libertads OnlineAll history considered, Silver Libertad coins tell a rich story of Silver and the Mexican Mint. Understanding the Mexican Silver coins' roll in today's currency helps collectors grasp its significance as a valuable piece of history. With the Silver Mexican Libertad series dating back to 1982, the coins provide a relatively recent look into the history of Mexican Silver coins. However, the Silver coins carry the same lineage of Silver and dedication to craftsmanship that Mexican Silver coins have carried for decades.

The Women in Business Luncheon is held every three months and never falls short of being a great opportunity for women to connect and promote their businesses surrounded by friendly faces, splendid food and gorgeous settings such as the Shangri La Gardens, Wynnum Road, Wynnum West. Equally important, is the guaranteed opportunity to laugh amongst friends.
Last Tuesday, 22nd August however, was a sobering affair as the women listened, captivated, to hear the words of what truly was an inspirational and emotional speech. Guest speaker, Wynnum born, Kay Danes, revealed herself to be a woman of amazing strength and courage having suffered and lived through the nightmare of one of Laos's secret gulags. When police pulled up late one night Kay and her husband knew something was wrong, but in that moment they could never have imagined the cruel twist of fate that was to have them flung into a world of corruption and pain. In slow motion, her heart pounding in her ears, Kay was told by, husband and successful businessman, Kerry Danes to, "get the kids and go, I'll sort it out." But she was not to see him for a long time afterwards. He had been kidnapped by the corrupt Communist Laos government. Gathering her two youngest children she fled towards Thailand only to be intercepted at the border by the same ruthless and corrupt police. Wrenched from her children, Kay was then told she was to join to her husband.
"I'd never been to prison before, there was blood on the floor, I couldn't process anything. My children had been secretly taken out of the country and I had no idea where my husband was. I tried to find a reason for all this but there was none." She was left clinging to the words of her father spoken years ago, "If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear." In a world of justice and truth this would be so, but the Laos government that held her captive was callous and corrupt.
As the prison door slammed shut behind her, she was left in a dark cell with strangers, five other women, the reality of the situation only now beginning to dawn on her, "It was all a lie," her husband Kerry was no where to be seen. "Kay, be patient" said the other women, "I'll explain in the morning" always it was, "be patient."
She later discovered her husband was being kept in another cell. She saw him finally as they lead him passed her room. They put his legs in braces and beat him, tortured him in front of her. The communist regime wanted her husband to sign a false statement against one of their clients but Kerry refused to sign his name to a lie. They were held hostage, the subjects of mind games, pressure and brutality to force them to do as they wanted. Kay came to realize however that there were many worse off people held captive in Laos - people without a voice, or any hope of freedom. "I was frozen by my own tragedy but then I looked around me. I saw people who had been there for fourteen years and more, as skinny as holocaust victims. They would burn their genitals and pour sewage water down their throats."
One prisoner in particular became a great friend and source of comfort, Mr Joy. He was in there because he had wanted freedom and democracy, things we take for granted as a part of our everyday lives. He asked Kay to make him a promise, that if ever she got out, she would tell their story then maybe someone would help them. "I learnt a lot in that prison, you have to put your feet in someone else's shoes to learn compassion."
For ten months Kay and her husband, Kerry Danes endured torture, imprisonment, death threats and outrageous injustice at the hands of a corrupt regime. They were released at the end of 2001 after Federal Government intervention. During their time in Laos the couple saw unspeakable human rights violations acted out each day in a place where the outside world can't hear the cries for help. Since leaving the prison she has kept her promise to Mr Joy, sharing the journey that brought her face to face with the torture, the struggle for survival and the spirit of those who endure the horrors of inhuman imprisonment every day.

The Walnut Creek YMCA Ice Breaker indoor triathlon is a great way to start a new training year. It's held in January, and is very friendly to new triathlon competitors. The event is a 400 yard swim, "10 mile" bike ride (spinning bike) and a 2 mile treadmill run.
Results 2015: swim bike run total
Results 2014: swim bike run total
Results 2013: swim bike run total
I really enjoy this race, and this year I focused on getting more participation from my Tri team friends, the Triathlon Racers of Iowa. I also spent some time coaching one of my daughter's friends for her first indoor triathlon. Overall I was really pleased, as we added around 20 extra participants into the event… which assisted with the charitable aspect of the race and increased the friendly competition. And I was thrilled to help my daughter's friend go from doing a single 200 yard swim last summer, to a sub 8:00 minute 400 yard swim in the race, with just 6 weeks of training.
Last year was a difficult training year for me. The year started off solid as I focused on
running and was seeing some improvement in my VDOT and associated paces. Unfortunately I tore my meniscus in the last mile of the Fort Dodge half marathon in April. The bigger picture problem was that I also had no articular cartilage left in my right knee, and the bone on bone contact caused bruising into my femur. I was scheduled for surgery at the end of May, where they cut out my torn meniscus, and did micro- fracture surgery in an attempt to regrow some cartilage in the damaged area. Four days after my knee surgery, I ended up with appendicitis and had my appendix taken out. The combination of the two surgeries resulted in a blood clot forming in my right calf muscle, so I was put on blood thinners for 6 months. The net result was crutches for 6 weeks, no impact (running) for 6 months, and no riding outdoors while on thinners (okay, I broke that one a few times). Overall, it was less than ideal training conditions.
At my 6-month checkup I was told my running days were likely over, but that I could do whatever I could tolerate. I tried running a few times and ended up limping around for a day or two afterwards. I did some training on the Alter-G treadmill, with similar results. I had in injection of Syncvisc One (a viscus synthetic fluid) into my knee to see if that would help cushion the impact (helped a little). I continued some easy "running"… literally 1 to 4 miles a week (never more than 2 miles at a time), to make sure I could at least get through the 2 mile run. In the end, I adopted what I call the "squat shuffle" form, where I avoid fully extending my right knee to avoid the area where the cartilage is missing. It's a very inefficient way to run, as it puts a lot of stress on my quads, but it did allow me to compete.
Fortunately I was still able to do some swimming and cycling during my recovery phase, which helped me avoid losing all my previous fitness. Although I hadn't been doing a lot of swimming, I had been practicing with a tempo trainer. I felt like this tool was helping me to better manage my pacing and had a couple practice 400's around 6:13, and I felt a sub 6:10 was possible. On race day I "over-managed" my pacing, meaning I waited too long to pick up the pace, and ended up with a slightly slower time than last year at 6:17. Live and learn.
They do not count transition time in this race, so it's a great opportunity to take your time changing clothes and get your HR down. I also take the time to rinse my Tri shirt off and run it through the swimsuit centrifugal drier, so it's damp (but not dripping) when I put it on. I do this to help keep myself cool in the warm spinning room and it works great.
The bike went better for me this year than last year. Unfortunately my PowerCal wasn't synced to my Garmin 920, so I didn't get any data on HR or estimated power. My FTP is somewhat close to what it was last year, so I likely had a faster bike time just because the bike I chose last year seemed to have an unusually high resistance. It's a bit of the luck of the draw. Knowing that 2000 rpm is equal to "1 mile" on these spin bikes, the key to this race is simply spinning as fast as possible. I systematically increased my cadence (resistance level is fixed) from 110 to 120 rpm, and was in the 130's for the last two minutes. In retrospect, I should have pushed the pace a bit earlier, as I felt like I had more in me on the bike.
Again, I took a little time to get my HR down between the bike and run. I changed shoes, walked around slowly, and changed my HR strap so I could get a reading on my run.
With a total of 25 miles of total running in the prior 9 months and my strange running form, I thought an 18- minute run would probably be a realistic goal. That being said, I started the treadmill at a somewhat optimistic 7.5 mph to see if I could hold on (8:00 mile pace)… considerably different than starting at 9.5 mph last year. It didn't take long before I had to back off a bit, but over time was able to pick it up again and ended up 16:22 at 8:11/mile… well above my running threshold HR of 170 with a peak of 177 bpm.
Overall, I had a great day, and really enjoyed the race. I always enjoy racing with my daughter, and it's a great time seeing and racing with friends.

wonder if the file format changed at all (and if yes, why?).
If you use the -saveold- command in Stata 12, it creates a Stata 8/9

will not format them correctly.
I wrote to tech support about this, also urging StataCorp to avoid
changing the behavior of a command without changing its name
(which actually happened in Stata 10: In Stata 8/9, -saveold-
created a version 7 dataset; in Stata 10/12 it creates a version
8/9 dataset).
The documentation (saveold) states that Stata 11 is "smart enough" to
read Stata 12 datasets, but this is currently not the case.

According to the article, passengers rate Grand Central as good for everything – from value to money to cleanliness, punctuality and reliability.
Richard McClean, Managing Director at Grand Central Rail, said:
"I'm very proud of Grand Central's fantastic achievement, which really does highlight that small can be beautiful. As an open-access operator employing just 130 staff, we are able to achieve great results.
"We recruit locally to staff our trains and we know that passengers appreciate the personal service provided by our on board teams. It is great to see that the article highlights our friendly staff who go the extra mile every day to really make such a difference on board.
"As an open-access operator, we provide a much needed direct service to communities not previously well served by rail. This allows us to not only meet the specific needs of those communities, but to also be part of them by supporting local charities and community initiatives across Yorkshire and the North East. Grand Central provides a reliable and good value service so passengers can travel direct from their local station to London for work and leisure."

Eventually I had to drag myself away as there were so many more places I wanted to explore. However, I was quickly distracted by a Spanish Brassy Ringlet, Erebia hispania. Unlike two years earlier these ones allowed me to take a picture. I saw quite a few as I started to descend the path.
For a few years now I have enjoyed photographing butterflies at home and on holiday. Before we go anywhere on holiday I try to find out as much as I can about the butterflies there. Sometimes this proves very difficult, so I thought I should start a blog to keep a record of what I have seen. I hope that this information will be useful to others.

Sierra Nevada Butterflies - July 2016 (2)
Eventually I had to drag myself away as there were so many more places I wanted to explore. However, I was quickly distracted by a Spanish Brassy Ringlet, Erebia hispania. Unlike two years earlier these ones allowed me to take a picture. I saw quite a few as I started to descend the path.

Hi Nick,ReplyDelete
I just had a long look at this site on Google maps, how interesting!
It is long drive from where I live but it gives me ideas to visit some of Spain's National Parks but I have to find someone to come with me!!
The Apollo is a wonderful butterfly to observe, I had only 2 opportunities to photograph it in the Pyrenees... quite difficult to follow in some areas!
Hoya De la Mora seems a great place for many species, I really enjoyed this post :)
Enjoy your WEReplies
Hi Noushka,Delete
It is an amazing place. When I was first recommended this area to look for butterflies I thought that it didn't look very promising! I had always imagined that I should be looking for flowery meadows! However, there is an amazing variety of prostrate plants there. You would love them, too, along with all sorts of birds and really interesting invertebrates. I am always rushed when I am there, as I can only spend one day away from our family holiday there. It would be amazing to be able to spend more time enjoying the phenomenal flora and fauna. And I have only explored one mountain. I would love to go to other areas. I can't recommend it more highly. There are a number of hotels at Hoya de la Mora for the winter skiing. I have never checked, but I am sure they would be pleased to have visitors in the summer! If you do decide to go I can give you more details of where I have been.
Many thanks for your answer, Nick.Delete
I always wish to go places but I am alone now and would prefer to travel with friends for the fun side but also for security reasons...
It is probable though I would find a hotel in summer for a few days.
Keep well :)
I hope you do find someone to go there with. However, it is a very open and safe-feeling environment. It is the sort of place that you could just sit and enjoy the wildlife fly past! There are so many amazing little plants and insects, birds and mammals. I know you would love it!
Hi Nick the landscape really looks hostile even for people. It is amazing that those beautiful butterflies can get their food in that vast landscape. But they are really very beautiful, and i guess easy to photograph. I realized that they are not as fast when at cold habitat, than what we have in my garden. Oh how lovely to shoot them in our highlands where they are very kind to photographers.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Andrea. Yes, the landscape is pretty hostile there. It is covered with snow for a number of months and even in the middle of summer it was a little windy and exposed, particularly the area where the Zullich Blue were flying. It must suit them, but it doesn't appear to be ideal! I didn't notice the temperature there this year, but last year it was only 10 degrees up at the top of the mountain at 9am, but 36 degrees on the road at the bottom of the mountain.Delete
Beautiful series, Nick! And the colour of your blog background happens to be my favourite colour. Green. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Linda. Yes, green always reminds me of spring!Delete
Hello Nick!:) Beautiful butterfly captures of the Sierra Nevada butterflies which are a treat to see, especially the beautiful Apollo, and the Nevada Blues, which I have never had the pleasure of seeing. I am however used to seeing butterflies resting on stones that retain the sun's heat for long periods of time. Have a great weekend, and thanks for the share, ...always an enjoyable experience.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Sonjia, It is a very special place. I have never been anywhere else with such a variety and density of butterflies. It is interesting with it appearing to be a very baron landscape with quite hostile weather in winter. It makes me wonder if the butterflies do well there because of the lack of interference from humans. Whey don't we see butterflies like that in more flowery and less hostile environments? Maybe because of the use of chemicals?Delete
Hi Nick!ReplyDelete
The Apollo is stunning. There's nothing else like it. It's definitely something I'd hope to see if I ever visit someplace mountainous. Looking at the landscape shot, it's hard to imagine there are so many butterflies. I'm probably too used to the abundance of vegetation here. Great post!Replies
Hi Jonny, Good to hear from you again. Yes, the Apollos are quite special and the way they glide up and down the mountainside is lovely. Like you, I look at the landscape and think it doesn't look promising, but between all of those stones are lots of little Alpine plants, that must be sufficient to sustain all of those butterflies. I would have imagined somewhere with more vegetation would have more butterflies, but I have never been anywhere with such a variety as the Sierra Nevada. Mind you, I have never been to Singapore!!Delete
Such a beautiful collection of sightings and photographs. So nice that you were able to have a good sighting of different types. I am amazed that I will not see butterflies for months and more. But this season has a different sort of wings, ice crystals sometimes look like wings. Deep seasons offer something wonderful in each season.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Tammie Lee. Yes the Sierra Nevada is an amazing place. I love it! We will also not be seeing butterflies here in Scotland for the next four or five months. I am keeping myself satisfied by searching out chrysalises and hibernating butterflies!Delete
The colors look so bright and great against the stones.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Maria, Yes it is amazing to see so many bright butterflies in such an apparently barren place. However, there are also so many little prostrate plants there between the rocks and stones.Delete

And then there was the underwear.
But we'll get to that later. Have some pretty, pretty people.*
I don't think it's any secret that my over-the-top con excitement centered on Aldis Hodge. My newfound Hardison love made me irrationally giddy about his con appearance, and he did not disappoint.
He's both humble and hilarious, and clearly has fond memories of filming and fond feelings for SPN fandom. His favorite scene to film was the epic smackdown of doom ("Though they didn't have to do me like that. He shot me like 57 times. I was dead after the second or third one!"). That said, I was thrilled to see so much love for Leverage - several of the questions during his panel were centered on the show, and Hardison, and being the world's most awesome geek.
At one point - after being asked what movie his life would be, and who he'd choose as his leading lady - the crowd coaxed him to call his girlfriend (whom he chose - cue crowd "awww"s) and relay his answer. While she was on speakerphone, he thanked us for scoring him brownie points.
I think everybody overspends at cons, but a big part of mine was due to the five-foot banner of Aldis that my hand decided to bid on during Saturday's auction. On the plus side, it was quite the conversation piece during the autograph session - he whipped out his camera to take a picture for his mother, and signed it "This is the biggest 'me' I've ever seen." So, you know... worth every penny.
I know a there was a lot of concern about Jim's health in the week leading up to the con, but he never let any of it show. He came out with a bang, waiting for the crowd to die down before grumbling a greeting: "Hello, idjits."
He talked about working with the boys, and Bobby's breakdown, and totally outed his sister for knowing Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Denny and not John (and on top of that, for not knowing her brother was on Supernatural at all).
And he talked about Life's That Way, a collection of the email digests he sent to family and friends every night since his wife was diagnosed with lung cancer and their daughter was diagnosed with autism. Over the course of a year, between the diagnosis and his wife's death, the emails circulated to thousands of people, and became messages of living and loss. Jim did a reading on Friday night, and signed copies during his autograph panel on Saturday.
And of course, for levity's sake, Misha crashed the party. He gave Jim shit about his wardrobe choices (apparently he felt it was disrespectful to show up for all of us without a tie. And in a T-shirt that said "Kill 'em all, let god sort 'em out") and was generally giving us a preview of the awesomeness to come.
Loads of energy, lots of humor (and even some potshots at the boys - "who are Sam and Dean?"). And, of course, the shirt.
And then there was Misha.
Misha, in his three piece suit and argyle socks. Argyle. Socks.
Misha, who hates Australia (but not really), experimented with cross-dressing in Cub Scouts (thanks to a little help from his mother), and said that scenes with Jensen inevitably deteriorate into who can out-gravel the other (before admitting that he sort of regrets the Cas voice).
Misha, who fielded this year's inevitable fanfic question with dignity and aplomb, and then with flat-out humor ("Maybe I've read all your stories. Maybe I've commented. Some of them were badly written. You know who you are.").
Misha, who backed his way into embarrassing a fan during Q&A, and tried to smooth things over by making jokes about second-date awkwardness and asking for a third ("How do you feel about... milkshakes?"). And then actually doing it, pulling up a chair for her at his autograph station and treating them both to milkshakes. How glorious is he?
Richard Speight, Jr, our beloved Trickster-turned-angel, took his turn panel crashing. (I do have shots of Richard's panel, BTW, though they'll be interesting to retouch - he moves constantly, and my camera suffered the consequences).
During Richard's Q&A, he was asked if the boys had pranked him yet, and he got very excited about actually having a story to tell. During "Changing Channels", one of the guest actors (actually named Gabriel) apparently left Richard a "gift" in his trailer. What Richard found was a pair of pumpkin orange bikini briefs. Worn pumpkin orange bikini briefs.
He accused the boys, who were basically like "bzuh?", before Misha fessed up (he'd spilled soup, changed, and wardrobe had done the laundry and put the folded underwear in Richard's trailer by mistake). Richard's reaction was "Okay, I understand the mixup, but... pumpkin bikini briefs?!" Misha's explantation? "They were a gift. From a fan."
So Richard crashed for clarification - and validation - and they argued about underwear for a good two minutes. The pumpkin pair, by the way, is now pinned to the wall in the AD trailer, signed with the words "This underwear smells like Cas."
The entire exchange was hilarious. Priceless, even.
In fact, hilarious in ways I wasn't even aware of. And never would have been were it not for the magic of the interwebs.
I spent most of the panels crouched (or kneeling, or sitting, even) at the side of the stage. But when Richard came in, I couldn't get him in shots from where I was, so I had to move around to the front of the stage. They bantered, they laughed, they made good-natured insults. Then Richard departed, and I moved back into my old spot at the side of the stage. No harm, no foul. Until the clips hit YouTube.
You can see me duck in on at the lower right, and then duck back out when Richard passes. And flash my flame-red, lipstick-printed, "Pucker Up" panties to the crowd in the process. After that exchange, it was almost cosmic.
I have long, long nights in Photoshop ahead of me - I took about 1800 pictures total. And these are just from Saturday. Enough pretty pretty picspam to last the rest of my life. Mmm. Happy thoughts.
*Shots have no watermarks to mar the pretty. Feel free to send people here if you'd like, but please don't repost pics. I suffered too long to get them.

The Legal Intelligence has reported In the wake of the Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia that reportedly killed at least seven and injured in excess of 100 people, lawsuits are certain to be filed. However, attorneys have said until federal investigations are complete, the direction of the litigation will remain unclear.
The train traveling from Washington, D.C., to New York went off the rails at a sharp turn in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section around 9 p.m. Tuesday night, according to media reports. More than 200 people were aboard and well over 100 were hospitalized. Calls to Amtrak's media relations office were met with repeated busy signals.
Personal injury lawyers said that any potential claims made against Amtrak will rely on whatever the National Transportation Safety Board uncovers in its investigation. That investigation, according to attorneys, will likely focus on engineer error, drug testing, track defects, faulty equipment, and what has been recorded by the "black box."

The industry is calling for confirmation of whether the deadline for implementation of Mifid II will be delayed, as fears grow that smaller firms are falling behind in their preparations.
An FCA roundtable on Mifid II, attended by the regulator and various industry trade bodies, highlighted the confusion in the industry over Mifid II deadlines.
The implementation date for Mifid II was January 2017, but senior European officials had called for a delay to January 2018 as the industry is not prepared. Most recently senior officials at the European Commission said neither they nor the industry would be ready for January 2017.
At the roundtable trade bodies highlighted the need for confirmation on the deadlines and whether any other interim deadlines for Mifid II would also be changed.
The minutes from the meeting say: "In response to a question, the FCA stated that although there had been significant public discussion of Mifid II's date of application, there had not been the same discussion of other dates in the legislation and it was therefore not clear if these dates will also change.
"It was noted by some associations that firms are keen for clarity in transposition and implementation dates for operational and system-build reasons, often to be able to finalise their own internal development dates, and to request the relevant funding.
"Several associations noted that there is still proactive engagement from large firms, but that some smaller firms may be falling back. Those who have begun Mifid II preparation work, typically the larger firms, are pushing on as they realise the scale and extent of the work required for readiness.
"The FCA noted the importance of keeping the momentum going, despite the potential delay and said it was considering how it could best communicate that to market participants."

I've always had digestive issues since birth but in the last few years it's gotten really bad and was what led me to all the testing that revealed I had the huge ovarian tumour and tons of scar tissue in my abdomen last January. One thing I learned when I had my hysterectomy in 1996 was that when they mess with your intestines You can get a form of IBS but it is eventually supposed to go away. (They had to take most of my intestines out and clean off fibroids and put it all back.) My surgeon told me at the time that they were cranky because they had been in the same place for 42 years then and moving them made them upset. (which gave me visions of my innards marching around with picket signs that said things lie "Management is unfair" &" Strike")
But it did eventually calm down to just the usual things like an ulcer that likes to play peekaboo but about a year and half before the surgery last January I started having real problems again. And I had the surgery and my innards went on strike again but this time it hasn't stopped and in the last month or so it's ramped up. I've had diarrhea constantly for about 2 weeks now and am nauseated most of the time.
I'm living on Imodium which used to last about 48 hours on one pill and now if I'm lucky lasts 6 so I've been taking it when I get to work and let it wear off and hope I get home without an accident. They have a new kind of Imodium which is supposed to be kinder and gentler and reduce cramping and gas, uh, they lied. When it wears off, it's one exit no waiting, T minus 10 to explosion. So not fun. And it hurts and I'm being a weinie about it.
I just want to roll in a ball somewhere like a pillbug and wait for it to stop. Not exactly a good plan for getting things done at work.
I've tried about everything I can think of dietwise. It doesn't matter what it is. It's going to revisit me fairly quickly. I was even desperate enough to cut out milk for a day even though that would be really unusual for a Scandanavian (according to my Gastro), didn't matter. High fiber, low fiber, high acid, low acid, doesn't matter. Right now I'm dreaming of pancakes because I promised my sister I'd take her to dinner. Sigh…
I had blood work done last week and other than my A1C being too high probably because carbs like toast are easier on my system, everything was normal.
I did find this cool list of euphemisms for the doing the Aztec Twostep, Who knew there were so many?
Anyway I have a doctor appt with my Gastro on Tuesday because they had a cancellation, Usually it's a month wait. Who knew you could get excited about going to the poke and prod? Even though I dearly love this doctor.

Public sector – A five-year strategy
Where we started
Our client had engaged a strategy consulting firm to support them in the development of its five-year business strategy. However, while the primary research had been completed successfully by the firm, our client was dissatisfied with the strategic plan as it was missing coherency, did not adequately demonstrate an implementation roadmap, and had not fully engaged all the stakeholders.
Pathfinder was engaged to support the senior management team to complete the strategy process.

Family InstinctsBy Nick ArcherPrelude/ Somewhere in
AmericaAll these things young tiny lola nude
are happening right now
somewhere in America. From the sweeping plains to the forests of
Maine; form the ocean shores to a darkened door; from the cities
smell to a boy�s hell. From the peaceful green of planted
fields serene to a cold, calculated murder scene -- all these
things are somewhere in America. Somewhere in America there is a gay man
bundled against the cold. He�s wearing a heavy winter coat
and mittens and a hat sure to mess his hair. Somewhere else in
America there is a gay man on a warm beach soaking in the sun.
His hair is sure to be mussed as well with sand and Coppertone
Cocoa Butter N� Aloe.Somewhere in America there is a gay man
spending thousands of dollars on a new home entertainment system
with his Visa Platinum without batting an eyelash. And somewhere
in America there is a gay man wondering how he will pay the rent
after he has paid for all his AIDS prescriptions.Somewhere in America there is a young
adolescent boy who is just waking up after his first wet dream.
After a few moments of terror, he realizes he is not sick or
diseased; his body is simply maturing. His body is responding
naturally to the increased levels of hormones in his bloodstream.
His seminal vesicles nude lolita tgp preteen have started to produce sperm, but the boy
has not yet begun to masturbate and so his body releases the
build-up in a �nocturnal emission.� As he cleans
himself up, he has a second revelation; the dream that spurred
the wet dream was not about a girl, but about another boy in his
class.Somewhere in America there is a gay man
standing at a church alter in a tuxedo. He is marrying a woman.
He has convinced himself he loves her. They do have a good time.
They both like Tom Hanks movies and watching Survivor on
TV. They have already agreed that she will keep the checkbook and
he will do the laundry since he always forgets to deduct and she
hates the smell of bleach. He must get married. His parents
expect it of him so does his church. Deep down in his heart of
hearts he knows he is gay. He recalls the one night of gay
passion when he was in college with Harry, the blond, shy,
beautiful farm boy from Gibson City. When he ran into Harry a
year later, he had turned into the campus queen. Not prayer, nor
counseling, nor prescription drugs could erase that beautiful
night from his mind. It felt so right. But he couldn�t give
into temptation. He just can�t. And so he is getting
married. Never mind that he will be divorced within five years.
By that time, he will have two small children and whole new set
of problems. Somewhere in America there is a gay couple
that has been together for over twenty years. They are preparing
Sunday brunch. They are no longer slim and young but they are
still in love. They chat easily as one poaches eggs and the other
grills sausage. It is a dance developed and perfected over years.
Each has a job to do and he does it expertly. They are each
other�s best friend, confidante and partner. Still, there
are clouds in the back of their minds. If one of them should
become ill, the other has no say about his medical treatment. If
one has a bill in collections, the other cannot discuss a
repayment plan. And unless one works for a small minority of
progressive companies that offer medical benefits to domestic
partners, insurance could be nymphet lolita rape incest a problem. Beyond the practical
matters there is a deep desire to validate and seal their
relationship with a legal bond. But none of these things are
evident to their guests as they graciously serve them brunch this
Sunday afternoon. Somewhere in America there is a boy who is
crying into his pillow because he is lonely. He�s not sure
if he is gay � he may be, he may not be. All he knows right
now is he doesn�t fit in. He tries to play sports, he really
does. But he is just too clumsy and uncoordinated and all the
other kids recognize this by choosing him last for any team. His
parents are no better. His father is proud to be a man�s man
� union member and hunter, beer-drinker and country music
listener. He is talented, the boy tells himself, he really is. He
can dance and sing and remember all sorts of song lyrics. He can
write poems and act and do all sorts of funny voices and accents
that make even his father laugh. But the other boys don�t
consider these talents worthy of their attention. They mock and
jeer him. He throws a baseball like a girl, he hates to be
tackled in football and basketball � well, that hoop might
as well be seven stories up. He wants to be held and cherished;
instinctively he knows that it is every child�s right. But
his father pushed him out of his lap every time he tries to sit
there. All he wants is to be held. All he wants is someone to
love him for what he is, and not demand he change into someone he
is not. And so he is crying out his loneliness and pain.Somewhere in America, another boy has had
enough. He has been teased and taunted for the last time. They
call him faggot and fairy and queer. They
push him into the lockers. They pick up his lunch tray from under
his face and toss the contents into the garbage. They hide his
backpack. The teachers look the other way. He has complained to
them constantly, but they are now tired of hearing him. No one
understands his anguish. No one understands the torment. So he is
going to end his life. He just has to figure out a way to do it.Somewhere in America there is another boy
in a similar situation. The difference is that this boy is
plotting to bring a weapon to school. No one is going to laugh at
him again. He�s going to see to that.Somewhere in America there is a teacher or
youth worker who is not using his talents to their fullest
capacity. He leads a double life. In school, he is an energetic
teacher whose creative lessons inspire his students. But his
students don�t know about his personal life, and he makes
sure it stays that way. Because this teacher is gay. Even in
1994, it is not good for teachers to be gay. He never talks about
his personal life in the teacher�s lounge. When his
coworkers are chattering about weddings and babies and showers,
he eats his lunch in silence. Somewhere in America a gay teacher is
missing the opportunity to be a role model. He is missing the
chance to show parents, teachers and students that gay men are
less likely to molest children than straight men. He is missing
the opportunity to reach out to frightened, questioning boys and
girls that are surely in his classes. Somewhere in America, a fundamentalist
Christian minister is railing against homosexuals from the
pulpit. In the back of the church, a man wipes his forehead. He
knows the minister is talking about him! The nymphet lolita rape incest minister is calling
on down the wrath of God on people like him. What the perspiring
man doesn�t know is that the minister is having sexual
fantasies about a little girl in a frilly pink dress in the front
row.Somewhere in America, a Catholic priest
delivers a homily. In the back of his mind, he is worried about
the altar boy he free lolita sex clips groped. Will the boy tell his parents? Will the
diocese stand behind him? If the priest�s diocese is like
most in America, it will sinfully sweep the priest�s
misdeeds under the carpet. The priest will be sent to a retreat,
and perhaps some treatment, then to another parish where he will
likely repeat his behaviors. Somewhere in America, an eighteen-year-old
boy enters a hospital emergency room with deep lacerations on his
buttocks. The doctor will use the same number of stitches as the
boy�s age to repair the damage. The boy is a prostitute. He
was paid handsomely to let his client whip him with a belt. The
client, however, got carried away. So the hustler will spend most
of the extra money he earned on medical treatment. Then, he'll go
back out on the street to do it again. He will think twice before
letting someone whip him again. Then again, if he was cold and
hungry and needing a place to sleep as he was last night, he may
forget his promise to himself.Somewhere in America, in a leafy suburb of
Chicago, a male couple struggles against all these situations.
They tiny budding lolita tits
work hard to undo the damage that their natural families and
society has done to three boys. It�s not easy. In some ways
they are still hiding. Brian has not come out to his classmates,
and that challenge looms on the horizon. free lolita sex clips They are caring and
nurturing parents, but they can never replace the mothers that
the boys have lost. But they have courageously faced down the
predatory stereotype of gay men. The boys have made progress in
overcoming their personal demons. They have help, of course.They have the assistance of Bill Ronkowski.
Although he works at Catholic St. Luke�s School for Boys, he
has the confidence of his superiors and they trust him
completely. Bill knows the basic rules. It is done discreetly.
Without fanfare or publicity and with complete trust in Matt
Rosato he was able to place two boys who were questioning their
sexuality with Matt.They have Leah Levin, their next door
neighbor. She believes in Matt and Tim and is fostering a son as
well. They have Matt�s mom, Gloria and the
parish priest Father Grimes and Matt�s best friend Marty
Connor. All these people form a circle of love around Matt and
Tim and their sons. They also protect against the wind. Somewhere in America, two gay men lit a
candle of hope and love against the darkness. And their friends
surround them with love and compassion and shield that candle
against the buffeting winds that try to snuff it out. Thanks for reading, hope free lolita sex clips

The term harelip, used to describe facial clefts, arose from a belief that the defect originated from the mother being startled by a hare during her pregnancy.1 The concept that congenital structural abnormalities of the fetus developed from events during pregnancy is called maternal impression and it continued to be seriously discussed well into the 19th century.1 However, it is now known that the vast majority of congenital structural fetal malformations are a consequence of aneuploidy or abnormal embryonic development in the first 8 weeks postconception. A series of studies suggest that other complications of pregnancy, such as intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth, and stillbirth, also have their origins, at least in part, in very early pregnancy. These observations raise the possibility that women who are at increased risk of adverse outcome in late pregnancy may be identifiable in the first trimester of pregnancy, with the potential for trials of screening and early intervention.

Stephen King announces new The Dark Tower novel
Stephen King has always stated that The Dark Tower series of novels contained a story that will forever haunt him until he is in his grave. Themes of these stories are echoed in his other stories and after the series ended, there was even a graphic novel prequel. Now, King has announced a new novel in the series, The Wind through the Keyhole, which takes place during the original The Dark Tower series.
The Wind Through the Keyhole will tell the story that happened during the time in the story after Roland, Jake, Eddie, Susannah, and Oy leave the Emerald City (the end of The Wizard and the Glass) and before they arrive on the outskirts of Calla Bryn (the beginning of The Wolves of the Calla).
According to King:
"It won't tell you much that's new about Roland and his friends, but there's a lot none of us knew about Mid-World, both past and present. The novel is shorter than DT 2-7, but quite a bit longer than the first volume—call this one DT-4.5. It's not going to change anybody's life, but God, I had fun."
Above is the newly-released cover art for the book. The Wind through the Keyhole will hit store book shelves on April 24, 2012.
So what do you think? Do you think The Dark Tower still has much story to tell? I'm on the fence here, but it has been some time since I've read those books.

Researched by students of
Ascot Park School
Supervising teachers:
Jennifer Harris
Dimitri Katsambis
A mother of two children and a Lakonian migrant, Antonia was born on the 20th of March in 1943. She grew up on a farm six kilometres from Sparta. Antonia helped her family of seven people by picking vegetables and fruit and also looking after the animals. She was a member of a family with three sisters, a brother, mother and father.
Antonias school life in Greece was similar to life here. She only went to primary school for six years and high school for six years.
Antonia had a good life in Greece before she found out her sister in Australia was sick and was also getting married. Antonia had to leave Greece to help her sister. Antonia was thinking about how she would get along in Australia when she didnt know how to speak the language. She didnt want to leave her family behind. She travelled on a ship to get here.
Antonia worked as a hairdresser with a good friend who helped her to learn to speak English, but when she was not at work she listened to the radio and read the paper. She worked for a long time and has now been retired for six years.
When she arrived in Australia she went to Sydney where she saw lots of things. Antonia thought Australia was great and how lucky she was to be able to afford more things and that there were better jobs.
Antonias life in Australia is great. She loves to go walking with friends and loves to dance to Greek music and rock music. Antonia also likes relaxing by the river.
The hardest thing Antonia found about leaving Greece was communicating with her friends her family and also her cousins.
Antonia is a member of the Lakonian club that has been around since1966. She likes to talk with other people, to dance, eat and have a great time. This helps her to learn more about herself and others.
Antonia Avanitakis's life in Greece was great. Coming to Australia has changed her life and made it better for her. Antonia still visits her family and friends in Greece.

DOLE Talks with the Japanese Government on PJEPA Sub-Committee on Movement of Natural Persons and Special Sub-Committee on Mutual Recognition
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) had a video conference with the Government of Japan on Philippine Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (PJEPA) Sub-Committee on Movement of Natural Persons (SC-MNP) and Special Sub-Committee on Mutual Recognition (SSC-MR) last 18 June 2014.
The Philippine panel was chaired by Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac for the SC-MNP, and Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Chairperson Teresita Manzala for the SSC-MR. The Japan panel was chaired by Co-Chair and Senior Coordinator of the Economic Partnership Division of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Daisuke Okabe for both committees.
In the video conference, Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) Director Dominique Tutay presented the proposed framework for deployment and monitoring movement of natural persons under the PJEPA.
"This framework was developed in anticipation of the full implementation of the provisions stated in the PJEPA, and will serve as a reference of possible future arrangements similar to the current system of deployment for nurses and careworkers", BLE Director Tutay said.
PRC Chairperson Manzala presented the proposed mutual recognition agreement (MRA) framework or engineers. She noted that the Philippines do not have any bilateral agreement with any country on this matter and instead referred to the established APEC Engineering Agreement.
POEA Administrator Cacdac mentioned from the previous meeting of Special Sub-Committee in Nurses and Careworkers the possibility of a Dispute Settlement clause for both sides. Both sides agreed that the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Japan should coordinate with Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Second Southeast Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the possibility of developing a mechanism that can be adopted for nurses and careworkers in cases of possible complaints and cases.
