Theresa DiMilia and her daughter Samantha. (credit: Mona Rivera, 1010 WINS)
WILLISTON PARK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A stop at local fast food restaurant ended in serious injury for a local mother and daughter, who have filed a multimillion lawsuit.
Theresa DiMilia and her 11-year-old daughter Samantha walked out of the Wendy's restaurant on December 4 in Williston Park when suddenly a car being driven by an elderly woman smashed into them and pinned them against the wall.
"The pain was so unbearable. I remember my daughter Samantha asking me if she was dead — 'Am I alive mommy, am I alive?'" Theresa DiMilia told 1010 WINS' Mona Rivera.

Accidents relating to entry into enclosed spaces have resulted in a large number of deaths of both ship and shore personnel so far this year. David Nichol, UK P&I Club risk assessor, reviews enclosed space incidents and his suggestions for safer working practices.
"The dangers associated with enclosed spaces are well known in the shipping industry yet each year we continue to see a number of casualties which could be prevented. Regulatory authorities and other industry bodies have produced a large amount of information and advice over the years, yet the death toll remains at an alarming level. Amongst numerous other reported examples, an incident occurred last year on board the cargo ship SUNTIS, when three crew members lost their lives after entering a cargo hold loaded with sawn timber, a cargo known to cause oxygen depletion.
"Part of the reason for the high number of casualties may lie in confusion as to what spaces are or may become dangerous, and how they are identified. It may help if the industry introduced a uniform approach to explicitly labelling all enclosed spaces that have been identified in the Safety Management System. There is currently no industry standard for warning notices that may be universally understood by ship and shore personnel, and this should be addressed.
"The shipping industry needs to improve the level of education and training of both ship and shore personal. Competent and responsible persons should be trained in enclosed space hazard recognition, evaluation, control and elimination, and crew members continually trained in enclosed space safety. Risk assessments should be conducted to identify all enclosed spaces on board, and potential hazards in the space to be entered.
"For all of this to be effective, it is necessary that ship staff, with the support of shore management, perform mandatory drills, training and actual entry procedures with a seriousness that reflects the dangers associated with entering enclosed spaces. Drills and training should be properly planned and be used as an opportunity to assess the challenges of rescue from identified enclosed spaces on board, and the importance of raising the alarm when persons are found to be in difficulty. "A zero tolerance culture to unplanned and unprepared entry into any enclosed space is needed and should be rigorously enforced and ingrained into all personnel, onboard and onshore."

Holy Freaking Cow... bombshell tonight ladies & gentlemen. Bleeding Cool just uncovered evidence that "The Simpsons" is being renamed after 25 long seasons on the broadcast airwaves. The new name... "Bart & Co." As Maggie would say: "What the deuce???"
"It was time for change," said a guy I made up just now. "There was a feeling that the 'The Simpsons' name was no longer relevant to today's tweens so the big boys on the top floor demanded a name change to spice things up."
Will renaming the quarter-century show prove to be a major misstep for Fox and the franchise, or will it be the opposite of that. Those are the questions we're asking.
No word yet on when the namechange will be made official.

Erica Garner In A Coma On Life Support After Suffering From Heart Attack
Erica Garner is being hospitalized and is unable to breathe on her own.
Erica Garner, activist and eldest daughter of slain police brutality victim, Eric Garner fell into a coma Sunday night.
The 27-year-old mother of two is in critical condition and is unable to breathe on her own, family members said.
Esaw Snipes-Garner, Erica Garner's mother, told the Daily News her daughter's cardiac arrest was brought on by an asthma attack on Saturday night.
"[She] is still with us. She's fighting," the mom said.

The news surfaced after one of Garners employees updated her Twitter account:
This is one of Ericas workers. Pray for her.
— officialERICA GARNER (@es_snipes) December 25, 2017
Garner's sister Emerald Snipes posted about her condition on Facebook Sunday:
So my sister had another heart attack last night and she's in critical condition….I just left the hospital and it's not looking good…I pray she makes it she has two little ones to live for….
Posted by Emerald Snipes on Sunday, December 24, 2017
Garner gave birth to her second child in August. After that pregnancy, she suffered her first cardiac arrest, her mom said. The family says she's not doing well after this heart attack, but they're keeping hope alive.
READ: Erica Garner Blocked From Speaking With President Obama At Town Hall On Race Relations
Garner, became an activist in 2014 as her father Eric Garner became a symbol within the Black Lives Matter movement following his death by the hands of NYPD after being placed in a chokehold by officer Daniel Pantaleo in Staten Island. After a Staten Island grand jury failed to indict Pantelo, Garner became a vocal critic of Mayor Bill de Blasio for not releasing Pantaleo's disciplinary record and for allowing the cop to collect money on continued, modified duty.

... MBS, as he is well known, promised his kingdom will return to "what we were before -- a country of moderate Islam that is tolerant of all religions and to the world"."...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/raqqas_dirty_secretStory is well researched/written, certainly reads legit. A deal like this must have been approved at the highest levels of multiple governments. While I'm sure the thinking was letting these savages escape saved lives, such a decision seems shortsighted. People like these do not see compassionate gestures as anything other than weakness. Would have preferred another "Highway of Death" like we saw when the Iraqis tried to withdraw from Kuwait City at the end of Desert Storm.
https://news.sky.com/story/terror-plot-to-assassinate-pm-may-foiled-11158388Muslim plot to kill Prime Minister May was apparently foiled...
Motive is unclear. https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/12/21/at-least-19-injured-after-car-rams-into-pedestrians-on-busy-melbourne-street.html
A person with the "All-American" name of Ahmed El-Monty targeted police in a Pennsylvanian shooting at the Capitol. The Muslim was shot and killed but one policewoman was injured. He recently traveled to the Middle East but they don't know where.https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/12/23/Gunman-killed-after-shooting-rampage-with-police-in-Pennsylvania/5651514057101/Quote from official: "Obviously, we don't want people to run wild in speculation," he said."Obviously we wouldn't want to do that.
Islam is a cancer and should be eradicated from the earth.Is there anything to discuss? Really? It's pretty obvious. The title of this thread sums it up and I can't imagine there's really any more to say. If you have more to say, or an objection, it's because you're either retarded or you haven't studied Islam.
I think it interesting though that when (for example) Right wing Christian evangelists, Catholic priests, and other none Muslims who commit heinous crimes the anti muslims never mention them.. I'm sure the doctor who is facing prison for the rest of his life for sexually assaulting girl gymnasts would describe himself as believing in god...So too the couple from Texas but living in California whose twelve children (one of whom has given birth to her father's baby) were held in chains and starved would say they're good Christians.
Can you come up with a list that matches the continual abuses of Islam? Point for point? And I mean current, after all the Crusades were a long time ago.
Abuses by Islam directly OR those doing what they do citing Islam as their motivation? Prisons are full of people who claim that 'god' told them to murder people. Does that mean that God told them to do it? Does it mean those are the tenets of whichever prayer book they read? If you want to take the bible, it advocates violence, subjugation of spouses (including beatings), and other things that we don't do. Does that mean those who don't aren't 'true' Christians? And those who do exercise to the letter the bible (Roy Moore says the ultimate law is god, is he right?) are true Christians?
hahah. I actually expected a 'I won't do your homework for you' non-answer. But this non-answer is good too, if you want to do all that extra credit. I don't want to make it hard on you with all your additional questions. Just answer the question asked. As it was asked. Pls don't read into it. You are not very good at that.
Difference is that virtually every Christian will publicly denounce such acts when committed by others alleging to be Christians, especially if they do it in the name of God. Not so much with the religion of peace. What is the percentage that believe suicide bombers are justified?
I genuinely have no idea how many think suicide bombing is a good idea.

Earlier this month we got a look at Girls star Allison Williams in costume and makeup as the titular character in NBC's upcoming staging of Peter Pan (as I noted at the time that continues a long held stage tradition of having a female play the lead in this piece). That was nice and pleasant. But this new image of Christopher Walken as Captain Hook is downright creepy and unsettling. Maybe it's the way he's posed with Williams (whose clothing ensemble looks odd when contrasted against the Walken monstrosity), but I definitely think this picture would feel less "wrong" if they were separated. Right now it looks like one of those awkward, posed family photos you can take at Target.
Hit the jump to never sleep again. The special airs on December 4th. In addition to Walken and Williams, Christian Borle will play the role of Smee as well as the role of Mr. Darling.

The Icarus Agenda has a fine, classic structure. It is written in three clear movements, with each one developing a different aspect of the Icarus scheme.
The novel begins with the Mahdi movement. It is a complete novel by itself; even without the rest of the book it could stand alone with an exciting plot, interesting characters, and a satisfying climax. In the Mahdi movement, the archvillain is the evil businessman who calls himself the Mahdi. He was responsible for the murder of all of the employees of Kendrick and Weingrass' Middle Eastern construction firm.
When Kendrick learns of the strange hostage taking in Oman, he realizes that the secret financial backer of the terrorists must be the Mahdi, who uses terrorist groups to drive competing businesses out of the Middle East.
Ludlum drops hints that the Mahdi story has wider implications, usually by showing the computer log...

A chemical high in phosphorus is very necessary in promoting sturdy root growth and cultivating a inexperienced colour. You'll acquire natural fertilizers, or use compost.

Being a single parent sucks. Being a person with chronic health issues sucks. Being a parent with health problems sucks. Combine being a single parent with being a parent with chronic health issues and it's quickly one of a parent's worst nightmares.
We all want what is best for our children and for them to have everything. The thing about having chronic health issues AND being a single parent is, you doubt yourself ALOT. Am I doing enough? Am I not keeping up? How would things be different if I was "Normal". Three times in the past 48 hours, I have been told by different people that my children are amazing and that I am raising beautiful, smart, caring children and that I do an incredible job. It is words I needed to hear in one of those moments where you are pulling your hair out. You might not recognize your accomplishments until someone makes you think about such.
While I am confident on the outside, you'd be surprise to know I'm very introverted and self-conscious, self-critical. It SUCKS. When I got hit with my chronic migraines and mysofacial pain, I was TWO semesters away from a Criminology degree. I even tried going back to school for a different degree. I couldn't do it. Even though I'm well aware of my health circumstances and that with the Yo-Yo Effect you can have fighting such, my attendance for work would just flat out stink and not be appropriate for someone needing to rely on me.
When you get sick, you constantly question if you should be trying to do more (although most I know will tell you that you do MORE than you should). It really is a never ending battle. The saying that we are own worst enemies. The amount of self-criticism can be drowning.
Life is hard enough. We all have obstacles, we all have worry, regret, lots of what-ifs. When it comes down to it, you can either let it tear you down or you can say enough is enough. You ARE GOOD ENOUGH. Stop tearing yourself apart. When you are feeling down, take the moment to write down five things you are amazing at and accomplishments you are proud of.
Don't Give Up. You are amazing.

Hugh Johnson; fully revised and updated by Stephen Brook
Mitchell Beazley
In his introduction, Hugh Johnson writes, " It has been 25 years since the first publication of this book: beyond argument, the most eventful quarter-century in the history of wine. Five previous editions have done their best to keep up with the ever accelerating change. For this and the previous edition I have recruited one of the best-informed and most polished minds in the world of wine: Stephen Brook, himself the author of 12 books on the subject, to scan all my accumulated work and correct and update it for the twenty-first century with all the resources at the publisher's disposal" (p.6).
There could be no better person than Stephen Brook to update this splendid book. He is supremely well-informed on just about everything to do with wine. It is hard to think of a region or producer of note that has not been included. However, I might have included Cricova in the Moldova listings and Magrez-Aruga in the Japanese section. And it is something of a pity not to see Persimmon Creek Vineyards of Georgia—the US state, that is.
The technical stuff is very well-explained and the maps at the back of the book are extremely informative and helpful. There must be thousands of pithy producer profiles here; they are all done accurately and often wittily. It is a tremendous feat to put so much knowledge into print.
For £40, though, one would hope not to see solecisms such as "Featsaca Alba" (p.17), "Fifteen to years" (p.52), "Vlctorian" (p.58) or "inetrnational" (p.97). Poor proof reading has been a feature of Mitchell Beazley's wine books for some time now. But Hugh Johnson's Wine Companion remains an indispensable reference work.

Case Number: 7-112-009, Year Published: 2012
HBS Number: KEL643
Economics, Market Research, Statistical Methods
This is the ninth in a series of lecture notes which, if tied together into a textbook, might be entitled "Practical Regression." The purpose of the notes is to supplement the theoretical content of most statistics texts with practical advice based on nearly three decades of experience of the author, combined with over one hundred years of experience of colleagues who have offered guidance. As the title "Practical Regression" suggests, these notes are a guide to performing regression in practice. This note returns to the topic of endogeneity, explaining how a predictor variable can be endogenous (and therefore its coefficient can be biased) if causality is in doubt. Through an extended example of the learning curve in medicine, the note introduces the concept of instrumental variables (IV), provides an intuitive explanation for why instruments solve the causality problem, and explains how to estimate IV and two-stage least squares regressions. The note describes statistical tests for the validity of instruments.
Students will learn the following: -Why ambiguities about causality create endogeneity bias -The intuition behind using IV to solve the endogeneity problem -How to implement and interpret IV regressions -Tests for the validity of instruments

Congress loots public largesse to give themselves $93,000:
Isn't this a direct violation of (if somehow not the letter) of the 27th Amendment?
No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.
Never mind the despicableness of this move. Is this even Constitutional?
EDIT: I can't find anything verifying this on any other news outlets or any kind of resolution passed to this effect. So far it's just this one Fox News clip. This seems a little fishy.

I squeal with delight because today I am launching my new e-book!
"The Unexpected Joys of a Tight Grocery Budget" has officially hit the Amazon shelves this week and I am oh-so-excited about that fact! Not only does that make today's post the official launch of the book, it means it's my official launch as an AUTHOR. True, I am the author of this blog… but doesn't a published e-book just make it seem so much more official? I think so.
By the way, did you know you can totally write an e-book if you want to?? I'm going to make sure and elaborate about that process in my next installment of Blogging: Behind the Scenes (in case it's something you think you might be into.)
But for those of you who are less interested in writing e-books and more interested in reading them, you can get your paws on mine in 1 of 2 ways:
1) It's listed on Amazon for just $2.99! (That's because it is a short, motivational read. But definitely one you'll want to refer back to whenever you feel your attitude slipping.)
2) Even better option… I'm sending a FREE copy to all Pretty/Hungry© e-mail subscribers! If you want to become a subscriber and get "The Unexpected Joys of a Tight Grocery Budget" for free, just let me know in the comments section below! Easy as that. If you are already a subscriber, just let me know in the comments section that you'd like me to send a free copy of the e-book your way, and it shall be done!
*A note about subscribing:
As a subscriber, you will receive e-mail updates of new Pretty/Hungry posts, which I publish an average of 2x per week.
Absolutely NO spammy yuckiness whatsoever!
For those of you who have been longtime readers, you know that Pretty/Hungry hasn't always been the budget-savvy blog it is today. I used to be a very poor planner when it came to our food spending. (There were weeks I found myself going to the grocery store every single evening on my way home from work to pick up frozen pizzas & beer.) Now, I'm not knocking frozen pizzas & beer (YUM!)… but it's fairly obvious that that lifestyle was not doing us any favors in the health department OR in the financial department.
Thankfully, I snapped out of that silliness! It took realizing that my long-term dreams (i.e. the dream house I've been constructing on Pinterest) were taking a backseat to my grocery-aisle whims. But once that sunk it, I had no problem slicing & dicing up my grocery list and re-building my shopping habits from the ground up. I expected to feel gratified by all the extra money we were saving (and I DID)… but what I didn't expect were the zillions of little character-building bonuses that accompanied our new reduced food budget.
I was so delighted by all these unexpected joys that I wrote an e-book about them, and that e-book is what brings us here today. Here's a little descriptive preview of the book!
"Sure, we'd all love to see a few extra dollars in the bank account at the end of the month, but many of us lack the motivation to make that happen because it means making lifestyle sacrifices. This is especially true when it comes to grocery shopping. But the reality is that food & groceries are one of the top categories in which most U.S. families over-spend! The Unexpected Joys of a Tight Grocery Budget discusses the character-building effects that reducing your grocery budget has on you and your children. The rewards go far beyond the monetary! Exercising self-control at the supermarket increases our generosity, our gratitude, our creativity, our long-term vision, and so much more! Reducing your grocery budget is worthwhile even if you don't 'need' to. In fact, I truly believe I would keep shopping the way I do even if we won the lottery. This book will explain why."
And HERE'S a review that a lovely reader wrote up about it on Amazon. It made me smile (thank you, Eric & Jessica!) so I wanted to share it with you guys…
There is really no better resolution you can make for your New Year than to be a better steward of your blessings (be they financial blessings, the physical blessing of good health, or the blessing of having loved ones in your life.) We have choices with each of these blessings. Will we be careless with them? Or will we treat them like the treasures they are and be extra-diligent caretakers of them?
I hope you will commit (along with the rest of us!) to sit down and take stock as we enter 2014. Take stock of your income, your debt, your goals, and your dreams. Commit to making sacrifices that serve a greater purpose! And please share your journey with the community of frugal readers here at Pretty/Hungry! (Hashtag-> #unexpectedjoys). Nothing encourages me more during a tough week of budgeting than hearing from one of YOU about your own unexpected money-saving joys!
I sincerely hope this little e-book will help & inspire you along the way.
P.S. Want to Share the Joy?
Feel Free to Tweet one of these Tweetables!
Im ready to experience The Unexpected Joys of a Tight Grocery Budget!
In 2014, I commit to make sacrifices that serve a greater purpose. #unexpectedjoys

Tragedy has struck a family close to your congregation, and of course your church wants to help. But asking for donations just for them might run your congregation afoul of the IRS, which would rule those donations NOT tax-deductible by the donor, and reportable as income by the beneficiary, according to a financial expert.

Refine your core strength through swings, squats, and more with these heavy-duty, Powder Coated Steel Clubs from Titan Fitness. Excellent for shoulder and core strength building exercises, steel club routines typically focus on boosting your functional stability – in addition to pushing your limits by gradually switching out your club for a heavier model. Our smallest 5 LB club comes with a 6 inch grip length, whereas our largest sports a 9 inch grip length. This way, as you ascend the weight levels, you may feel more comfortable using two hands if you so choose. As you can imagine, for fitness enthusiasts working on their grip strength, these clubs are the perfect match.
Train your core with every swing, squat, and pullover technique you practice – create your own unique exercise combinations by transitioning from one functional exercise to the next seamlessly, in any order you choose. These and more challenges will shape your grip strength, overall mobility, arm stability, and of course, core endurance. Feel the burn even harder by slowing down your training patterns, demanding more concentration, and of course, intensifying the final results.

Last February we launched a brand new collection using fabric that had been made from recycled plastic bottles. The collection consisted of wash bags, eye masks and coin purses all of which could be personalised.
The products were hand made in the UK causing minimum human impact on the enviroment something which is very close to our hearts here at Love Lammie & Co. We have been delighted with the response, feedback and sales on this range. You'll be pleased to hear our best selling boxy wash bags will be back in stock at the end of January/start of February.
We are also launching new pieces in this collection including a drawstring wash bag and rather neat cosmetic bag too. It's our mission to keep our collection sustainable. ethical and made in the UK.
Keep checking back for further updates on new stock arriving.

Classifieds Just Clicks away…
For the past few days I was looking for laptops and computers to buy at cheapest possible rates, preferably a second hand ones. So that I could get a better configuration in less price. So, I started searching for a few websites which can provide me a solution while sitting comfortably at home. Then, one of my friend told me that you really don't have to go and look out in market or ask every other person you meet for this there are websites for this, he suggested me with an example a website "olx.in" said yaha kuch bhi bikta hai, and indeed they sell almost every thing and the biggest advantage is that this is one of the biggest platform for classifieds in India, so we get a lot of varieties of product and services at very cheap rates.
So, I logged on to olx and started browsing their product and services relating to computers (which didn't even need any registration). To my surprise, there is also a section dedicated to cities which can provide city wise available product and services for offering, and there was even a section for Ambala Cantt which is relatively small city but my hometown, and I found great offers through this website.
Gone are those days when we used to lookup the daily newspapers for classifieds relating to our requirements, now we can simply open a website search for the things or just upload them whenever needed and the things will be sold or bought comfortably at home in just few clicks. It was really a fun activity to buy laptop without any problem at all and the delivery of product was also very fast.
Online shopping has really changed the way we do things and made shopping fast as ever!.
Beware! Do not get addicted to selling all your products 🙂

baby travel, blue sky, Buenos Aires boat trip, Delta Unplugged, empanadas, Paraná Delta, Tigre, Tigre Delta
I knew the Paraná Delta existed because I've seen the boats heading there from Tigre, but they may as well have been sailing into another country for all I could picture of the network of islands, rivers and wetlands. Ana, our guide, traces the upcoming route on a map and explains we will see a tiny segment of the area, which expands for a total of over 5,000 square miles. On the map the tributaries of the Delta spread out from Tigre like the veins on a leaf. Look closely and it seems you could spot twin-headed serpents staking out the smallest winding creeks and mythical creatures with the heads of lions lying in wait for unsuspecting boats. The Delta is another Argentina; one that is neither well-known nor particularly well-visited, save for the routes of the main tourist craft. Our journey into the unknown begins with a bright and breezy early boat from Tigre River Station. Boarding, we tell them we're going to "lo del suizo" (the Swiss place). Around 40 minutes later after passing the schools, shops, petrol stations and churches of the first stage of the Delta, we hop off at the home of Delta Unplugged.
A multitude of companies offer private tours of the Delta by boat but Delta Unplugged sounds interesting. Owned and operated by Ana, an Argentine tourism expert and Ralph,a Swiss chef, Delta Unplugged provides a tranquil day's excursion along with tasty food. Clambering onto the jetty we are greeted by the family including baby Octavio, who is immediately intrigued by the sight of my baby (who is wondering what is going on, having woken up from a nap to find himself surrounded by water). After a breakfast of homemade breads with dulce de leche, aubergine jam and honey we set off in their wooden boat to explore the waterways.
(Photos courtesy of myself and also Ana from Delta Unplugged)
Taking the stream less traveled at the start of the tour.
Still, peaceful waters of the Delta.
Some of the residents of the first stage of the Parana Delta.
Bird-spotting at lunchtime from the Delta Unplugged boat.
And more wildlife – turtles, this time.
Lunch is an impressive spread with cheeses, meats, empanadas, tarts, dips, vegetables, chicken and beef, all rustled up by Ralph on the boat itself.
Brightly coloured homes on the waterways.
The "supermarket boat" – provisions delivered to the jetty.
To finish the day there's nothing so relaxing as mate and cake surrounded by lapping water. A tranquil place.
I didn't see any two-headed serpents on the boat trip and the only mythical creatures were the supernaturally persistent mosquitoes, but I did get a glimpse of another world. A swift water taxi ride back to Tigre and we're back on dry land, but rocked by invisible waves for hours afterwards.

In the days since seeing Disney's latest masterpiece Moana I've become obsessed with one thing.
This. Idiot. Chicken.
Let me be quite clear here. This chicken is an idiot. An idiot of such staggering idiocy that he may actually go the full 360 and be a genius. It's 2016. Anything's possible.
I've had a lot of fun with this guy, but it's worth stating a few serious points because while he's the comedic star of the movie, he does underline a couple of important points it's trying to make.
1. Moana's really genuinely lovely. When she finds out Hei Hei has accidentally stowed away on her boat, she doesn't panic and she doesn't get angry. It'd be understandable if she did; Hei Hei is in no way prepared for life on the ocean, screams endlessly when he realises where he is, and repeatedly swallows things, falls into the sea, and generally gets in the way. He's a pain in the arse, in other words, but Moana always keeps her calm and keeps him safe. It's genuinely touching. He's an idiot, but he's her idiot and she takes care of him no matter what.
2. Hei Hei has a moment of heroism. Early in the film, we see Hei Hei eating a rock. It's a genius gag and one that's quite brilliantly animated for maximum comedic effect. He struggles with food throughout, in fact, for example, being unable to know where to peck to pick up seeds. So when he picks up the Heart of Te Fiti in the finale, we expect another complication for Moana. Surely Hei Hei's going to swallow it or kick it off the boat and into the ocean? It's not his fault. He's just an idiot. But he doesn't. Instead, he keeps it in his mouth and passes it to Moana. Why? Because somewhere in that daft old brain of his, he understood something: the goodness of Moana and why this journey is important to her. He's an idiot, but he's her idiot and he'll take care of her no matter what.
Maybe Hei Hei didn't accidentally get on the boat at all then. Maybe it was intentional all along, his daft way of protecting his friend, even if it'll baffle and terrify him to do so. Reading too much into it? Maybe. But Moana is all about identity and how our true selves lie within us. Hei Hei, like Moana, just needed a journey to discover it.

Its been a while since the last installment of Desk Diary but at least I didn't leave it till over half a year to get todays update out ^^;
As I mentioned last time, there was going to be quite a few changes. We needed space to fit more people, equipment and stock for the production of Smart Doll.
We were looking for a new office but because my salary is so low (my pay is the lowest out of all my employees ^^;) - all the insurance companies rejected my applications. In some cases I was given the gaijin treatment - but will talk about that in a separate post ><
What we ended up doing is moving out of our house and turning the 3 floors that we have into our office - wifey and I moved into a small apartment around the corner.
Anyway, this is what the 2nd floor of the office is looking like today.
Photo taken end of October last year - building a small Mirai shrine in the corner.
Shifted things around to make better use of space during December.
My wife shares a desk at the other end of the 2nd floor. Wifey looks after all the things I'm bad at - accounting and HR.
Another recent photo with the kitchen in view.
Finally did it - consolidated my computing to the MacBook Air and ditched the iMac which can now be used for editing season 3 of Culture Japan.
I save much more time now that I only have 1 environment to maintain and the processing power of the machine is more than adequate for the stuff I do on Photoshop, Fireworks and Final Cut Pro.
The red keys are a rubber hangul keyboard overlay - I can't type Korean at all without it ><
I try to keep my table as clean as possible but more often than not it gets messy. Here I am working on the Ejector Pin placement for the Smart Doll Injection Mold.
This is what my desk looks like today.
I've reached that age where I need a pair of computing/reading glasses which I hang on the wall.
Not sure if you noticed but I also changed the glass that I use for my table to a more opaque green one - only because Ikea didn't do the frosted glass ones anymore in Japan. My previous table is now on the other side of the room.
And here is the figure/doll shrine with my fave girls.
Kuroyukihime by Maxfactory - comes with a load of sharp parts that you could cut yourself on - just like I did ><
Which is why I prefer to display her like this.
Battery change - been wearing this trusty watch for about 12 years now.
Picked up this pair of Sony MDR-XB610 headphones from Amazon after seeing it one day at the airport - the orange! And yes it turned out to be a pretty decent pair with really nice bass too. Price was 7769 yen.
I use this MDR-XB610 mainly for when I watch movies or play games and continue to use the MDR-CD900ST at work.
The gorgeous Cat Lap Milk by Native - shes an extremely ecchi figure though and if you really want to you can check out the other angles here. I lost the squashed oppai parts for her though - or somebody took it from the office ToT
Regarding the pose - I guess she dropped her contact lens or something.
The office seems to be filled with ecchi figures of late - but its not my fault - they just seem to fall from the ceiling ^^;
Picked up this OEM Mac-like USB hub from Amazon. Looks great in product photos but not so great when you open the box ><
Some tools for Smart Doll production.
Previously used this small set of draws for figma parts - now use it for bits n pieces which I take out n about with me like my wallet n keys etc.
MUJI have a load of nice small containers like these - they feel like they take up less space as they are transparent letting light through.
Currently working on Moekana the 2nd edition which is due for release this April. Its a second edition which means that its not a completely new product but a revamp of the previous one - just like there are 2nd editions of Harry Potter where they fix spelling mistakes and wot not ^^;
For the 2nd edition of Moekana however, there are much more changes with the introduction of Kizuna and Chitose and we include Katakana too. Cards from the booster pack are also included and many of the illustrations have been revamped.
Got some Tanita scales for weighing this n that for Smart Doll parts.
These BOSE SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speakers are incredible! I've always wanted something small with decent sound and got these for Christmas from a good friend - thanks Michele!
Very surprised at the bass and sound that this little fella can produce - currently serves up the background music in the office.
Picked up 2 Acer G246 24" monitors for the office - I currently use one of these attached to my MacBook Air. Quite reasonable at 16908 yen.
New 3D printer for the office and Smart Doll production - full review lives here.
And if you are wondering from the photo - yes I did go and make smaller oppai for Mirai-chan ^^;
Not a fun decision to make but a necessary one - we moved out of our house in October last year to accommodate the production of Mirai Suenaga Smart Doll.
Here I'm packing up the game corner ;-;
And this is what our new place looks like. We managed to get a meeting with the person who owned the apartment so we didn't have to use an insurance company - or we would have had our application rejected again ><
The lens makes the apartment look bigger than it is. After living in our own 3 storey house since 2005, moving into this small place feels not so great and certainly does not feel like home.
While the living room has enough space to move around just a wee bit - the other rooms in the apartment are so small that its difficult to do anything without accidentally thumping the wall with ones elbow or hitting ones head in the kitchen.
Having said that I do appreciate having a roof over my head - I am aware that there are so many homeless folks out there ><
The walls are concrete but you can still hear domestic noises from next door - living in noisy apartments was one of the reasons why we bought a house in the first place.
Our current kitchen - not a lot of space to move around in ToT
The entrance with the bedroom at the back of the photo.
This apartment was designed with a corridor which takes up a load of space - would probably have been better if the entrance opened up into a living room and have the other rooms attached to it.
My current goal in life - to start selling Smart Doll so that we can begin to recuperate costs and save enough to move into a proper office - then we will be able to move back to our house. Aim to do move back home this year.
Meanwhile back in the office on the 1st floor - up until now its been used as storage and to house guests. We needed to start cleaning out this room so we started with the sofa which will go up to the 2nd floor.
The 2nd floor back then.
Moving one of the tables out of the corner.
In the process rediscovering the amount of cables Apple decided to put on the old Cinema Displays - and then cursing the designer - and re-cursing myself for buying it in the first place ^^;
Sofa in its new location and then attempted to clean up some of the electrical wiring.
The Mirai shrine in this corner didn't last too long though.
The new Mirai shrine missing a Smart Doll.
Back in December.
Folks take power naps on the sofa - and I always try to place a box of tissue and an eroge magazine next to the person sleeping - but they always wake up before I get to take a photo ^^;
The new sofa area makes it a wee bit more easier to have meetings when guests come over.
Those who have been keeping up with the Desk Diary series will know that the shelves on the wall are called Clear Rack - very easy to put up and take down.
Most kitchens in Japan come with fluorescent lighting which I'm not a fan of - unfortunately the fixture is different which makes it a pain to change.
To change a fluorescent lighting fixture in Japan, you need to hit the breaker or be immune to electrification. Then you attach one of these fixtures called Shomei Hikkake 照明引掛け].
After you have the standard fixture, you can pretty much attach anything you want and we decided to go for track lighting.
Picked up some more bits n pieces for the office.
I hate wires - they make humans miserable. Where possible I try to minimise the pain caused by wiring - especially when its thick just like the one in this photo - the one on the bottom does exactly the same thing but takes up less of a footprint.
Currently working on a Bridal Mirai.
Some of the Gunpla that I made many many moons ago.
Not enough Christmas gear to go around so only Karin-chan gets to play Santa.
The Gundam boys are back in town.
Most of these are GFF Gundam Fix Figuration which started its line way back in 2001.
How many of you enjoyed Mobile Fighter G Gundam?
Speaking of T-shirts - some doll sized ones from Murasaki.me - she made me some prezzies last year and I liked them so much that I've comissioned her to make the official ones for Smart Doll.
For some reason, of late I've started to like a darker shade of orange which is close to red - probably because whenever I order something online where the description and photo is "orange" - it arrives looking half way red ><
And here is the doll sized version of our first ever full print T-shirt that we sold first at AFA13.
Currently playing God Eater 2 - this is my girl.
I miss my kitchen ><
An example of a print fail on the Form1 - was in the middle of printing some more hand parts for Smart Doll.
Some of my fave Figma's.
Back on the 1st floor - we cleaned up so that we could...
...start building the beginnings of Smart Doll. This is where assembly will be done for the first few hundred units.
Catch up on previous Desk Diary posts listed below.

I would love to have both of those here as well.
I love the Legacy's, the 2010 model will be going through a design change (concept already released) so it could still be a couple years before we see it here in the new body.
Also they no longer make the legacy in wagon form for the US anymore. It is only available in the Outback form, little higher ride height.
I would love to have a manual, wagon, diesel legacy.
The polo is also great.
I want to also see the manufactures combine diesel and hybrid technology.

The oceans cover some 70 percent of our planet. And I think Arthur C. Clarke probably had it right when he said that perhaps we ought to call our planet Planet Ocean. And the oceans are hugely productive, as you can see by the satellite image of photosynthesis, the production of new life. In fact, the oceans produce half of the new life every day on Earth as well as about half the oxygen that we breathe. In addition to that, it harbors a lot of the biodiversity on Earth, and much of it we don't know about. But I'll tell you some of that today. That also doesn't even get into the whole protein extraction that we do from the ocean. That's about 10 percent of our global needs and 100 percent of some island nations.
If you were to descend into the 95 percent of the biosphere that's livable, it would quickly become pitch black, interrupted only by pinpoints of light from bioluminescent organisms. And if you turn the lights on, you might periodically see spectacular organisms swim by, because those are the denizens of the deep, the things that live in the deep ocean. And eventually, the deep sea floor would come into view. This type of habitat covers more of the Earth's surface than all other habitats combined. And yet, we know more about the surface of the Moon and about Mars than we do about this habitat, despite the fact that we have yet to extract a gram of food, a breath of oxygen or a drop of water from those bodies.
And so 10 years ago, an international program began called the Census of Marine Life, which set out to try and improve our understanding of life in the global oceans. It involved 17 different projects around the world. As you can see, these are the footprints of the different projects. And I hope you'll appreciate the level of global coverage that it managed to achieve. It all began when two scientists, Fred Grassle and Jesse Ausubel, met in Woods Hole, Massachusetts where both were guests at the famed oceanographic institute. And Fred was lamenting the state of marine biodiversity and the fact that it was in trouble and nothing was being done about it. Well, from that discussion grew this program that involved 2,700 scientists from more than 80 countries around the world who engaged in 540 ocean expeditions at a combined cost of 650 million dollars to study the distribution, diversity and abundance of life in the global ocean.
And so what did we find? We found spectacular new species, the most beautiful and visually stunning things everywhere we looked — from the shoreline to the abyss, form microbes all the way up to fish and everything in between. And the limiting step here wasn't the unknown diversity of life, but rather the taxonomic specialists who can identify and catalog these species that became the limiting step. They, in fact, are an endangered species themselves. There are actually four to five new species described everyday for the oceans. And as I say, it could be a much larger number.
Now, I come from Newfoundland in Canada — It's an island off the east coast of that continent — where we experienced one of the worst fishing disasters in human history. And so this photograph shows a small boy next to a codfish. It's around 1900. Now, when I was a boy of about his age, I would go out fishing with my grandfather and we would catch fish about half that size. And I thought that was the norm, because I had never seen fish like this. If you were to go out there today, 20 years after this fishery collapsed, if you could catch a fish, which would be a bit of a challenge, it would be half that size still. So what we're experiencing is something called shifting baselines. Our expectations of what the oceans can produce is something that we don't really appreciate because we haven't seen it in our lifetimes.
Now most of us, and I would say me included, think that human exploitation of the oceans really only became very serious in the last 50 to, perhaps, 100 years or so. The census actually tried to look back in time, using every source of information they could get their hands on. And so anything from restaurant menus to monastery records to ships' logs to see what the oceans looked like. Because science data really goes back to, at best, World War II, for the most part. And so what they found, in fact, is that exploitation really began heavily with the Romans. And so at that time, of course, there was no refrigeration. So fishermen could only catch what they could either eat or sell that day. But the Romans developed salting. And with salting, it became possible to store fish and to transport it long distances. And so began industrial fishing.
And so these are the sorts of extrapolations that we have of what sort of loss we've had relative to pre-human impacts on the ocean. They range from 65 to 98 percent for these major groups of organisms, as shown in the dark blue bars. Now for those species the we managed to leave alone, that we protect — for example, marine mammals in recent years and sea birds — there is some recovery. So it's not all hopeless. But for the most part, we've gone from salting to exhausting.
Now this other line of evidence is a really interesting one. It's from trophy fish caught off the coast of Florida. And so this is a photograph from the 1950s. I want you to notice the scale on the slide, because when you see the same picture from the 1980s, we see the fish are much smaller and we're also seeing a change in terms of the composition of those fish. By 2007, the catch was actually laughable in terms of the size for a trophy fish. But this is no laughing matter. The oceans have lost a lot of their productivity and we're responsible for it.
So what's left? Actually quite a lot. There's a lot of exciting things, and I'm going to tell you a little bit about them. And I want to start with a bit on technology, because, of course, this is a TED Conference and you want to hear something on technology. So one of the tools that we use to sample the deep ocean are remotely operated vehicles. So these are tethered vehicles we lower down to the sea floor where they're our eyes and our hands for working on the sea bottom. So a couple of years ago, I was supposed to go on an oceanographic cruise and I couldn't go because of a scheduling conflict. But through a satellite link I was able to sit at my study at home with my dog curled up at my feet, a cup of tea in my hand, and I could tell the pilot, "I want a sample right there." And that's exactly what the pilot did for me. That's the sort of technology that's available today that really wasn't available even a decade ago. So it allows us to sample these amazing habitats that are very far from the surface and very far from light.
And so one of the tools that we can use to sample the oceans is acoustics, or sound waves. And the advantage of sound waves is that they actually pass well through water, unlike light. And so we can send out sound waves, they bounce off objects like fish and are reflected back. And so in this example, a census scientist took out two ships. One would send out sound waves that would bounce back. They would be received by a second ship, and that would give us very precise estimates, in this case, of 250 billion herring in a period of about a minute. And that's an area about the size of Manhattan Island. And to be able to do that is a tremendous fisheries tool, because knowing how many fish are there is really critical.
We can also use satellite tags to track animals as they move through the oceans. And so for animals that come to the surface to breathe, such as this elephant seal, it's an opportunity to send data back to shore and tell us where exactly it is in the ocean. And so from that we can produce these tracks. For example, the dark blue shows you where the elephant seal moved in the north Pacific. Now I realize for those of you who are colorblind, this slide is not very helpful, but stick with me nonetheless.
For animals that don't surface, we have something called pop-up tags, which collect data about light and what time the sun rises and sets. And then at some period of time it pops up to the surface and, again, relays that data back to shore. Because GPS doesn't work under water. That's why we need these tools. And so from this we're able to identify these blue highways, these hot spots in the ocean, that should be real priority areas for ocean conservation.
Now one of the other things that you may think about is that, when you go to the supermarket and you buy things, they're scanned. And so there's a barcode on that product that tells the computer exactly what the product is. Geneticists have developed a similar tool called genetic barcoding. And what barcoding does is use a specific gene called CO1 that's consistent within a species, but varies among species. And so what that means is we can unambiguously identify which species are which even if they look similar to each other, but may be biologically quite different.
Now one of the nicest examples I like to cite on this is the story of two young women, high school students in New York City, who worked with the census. They went out and collected fish from markets and from restaurants in New York City and they barcoded it. Well what they found was mislabeled fish. So for example, they found something which was sold as tuna, which is very valuable, was in fact tilapia, which is a much less valuable fish. They also found an endangered species sold as a common one. So barcoding allows us to know what we're working with and also what we're eating.
The Ocean Biogeographic Information System is the database for all the census data. It's open access; you can all go in and download data as you wish. And it contains all the data from the census plus other data sets that people were willing to contribute. And so what you can do with that is to plot the distribution of species and where they occur in the oceans. What I've plotted up here is the data that we have on hand. This is where our sampling effort has concentrated. Now what you can see is we've sampled the area in the North Atlantic, in the North Sea in particular, and also the east coast of North America fairly well. That's the warm colors which show a well-sampled region. The cold colors, the blue and the black, show areas where we have almost no data. So even after a 10-year census, there are large areas that still remain unexplored.
Now there are a group of scientists living in Texas, working in the Gulf of Mexico who decided really as a labor of love to pull together all the knowledge they could about biodiversity in the Gulf of Mexico. And so they put this together, a list of all the species, where they're known to occur, and it really seemed like a very esoteric, scientific type of exercise. But then, of course, there was the Deep Horizon oil spill. So all of a sudden, this labor of love for no obvious economic reason has become a critical piece of information in terms of how that system is going to recover, how long it will take and how the lawsuits and the multi-billion-dollar discussions that are going to happen in the coming years are likely to be resolved.
So what did we find? Well, I could stand here for hours, but, of course, I'm not allowed to do that. But I will tell you some of my favorite discoveries from the census. So one of the things we discovered is where are the hot spots of diversity? Where do we find the most species of ocean life? And what we find if we plot up the well-known species is this sort of a distribution. And what we see is that for coastal tags, for those organisms that live near the shoreline, they're most diverse in the tropics. This is something we've actually known for a while, so it's not a real breakthrough.
What is really exciting though is that the oceanic tags, or the ones that live far from the coast, are actually more diverse at intermediate latitudes. This is the sort of data, again, that managers could use if they want to prioritize areas of the ocean that we need to conserve. You can do this on a global scale, but you can also do it on a regional scale. And that's why biodiversity data can be so valuable.
Now while a lot of the species we discovered in the census are things that are small and hard to see, that certainly wasn't always the case. For example, while it's hard to believe that a three kilogram lobster could elude scientists, it did until a few years ago when South African fishermen requested an export permit and scientists realized that this was something new to science. Similarly this Golden V kelp collected in Alaska just below the low water mark is probably a new species. Even though it's three meters long, it actually, again, eluded science. Now this guy, this bigfin squid, is seven meters in length. But to be fair, it lives in the deep waters of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, so it was a lot harder to find. But there's still potential for discovery of big and exciting things. This particular shrimp, we've dubbed it the Jurassic shrimp, it's thought to have gone extinct 50 years ago — at least it was, until the census discovered it was living and doing just fine off the coast of Australia. And it shows that the ocean, because of its vastness, can hide secrets for a very long time. So, Steven Spielberg, eat your heart out.
If we look at distributions, in fact distributions change dramatically. And so one of the records that we had was this sooty shearwater, which undergoes these spectacular migrations all the way from New Zealand all the way up to Alaska and back again in search of endless summer as they complete their life cycles. We also talked about the White Shark Cafe. This is a location in the Pacific where white shark converge. We don't know why they converge there, we simply don't know. That's a question for the future.
One of the things that we're taught in high school is that all animals require oxygen in order to survive. Now this little critter, it's only about half a millimeter in size, not terribly charismatic. But it was only discovered in the early 1980s. But the really interesting thing about it is that, a few years ago, census scientists discovered that this guy can thrive in oxygen-poor sediments in the deep Mediterranean Sea. So now they know that, in fact, animals can live without oxygen, at least some of them, and that they can adapt to even the harshest of conditions.
If you were to suck all the water out of the ocean, this is what you'd be left behind with, and that's the biomass of life on the sea floor. Now what we see is huge biomass towards the poles and not much biomass in between. We found life in the extremes. And so there were new species that were found that live inside ice and help to support an ice-based food web.
And we also found this spectacular yeti crab that lives near boiling hot hydrothermal vents at Easter Island. And this particular species really captured the public's attention. We also found the deepest vents known yet — 5,000 meters — the hottest vents at 407 degrees Celsius — vents in the South Pacific and also in the Arctic where none had been found before. So even new environments are still within the domain of the discoverable.
Now in terms of the unknowns, there are many. And I'm just going to summarize just a few of them very quickly for you. First of all, we might ask, how many fishes in the sea? We actually know the fishes better than we do any other group in the ocean other than marine mammals. And so we can actually extrapolate based on rates of discovery how many more species we're likely to discover. And from that, we actually calculate that we know about 16,500 marine species and there are probably another 1,000 to 4,000 left to go. So we've done pretty well. We've got about 75 percent of the fish, maybe as much as 90 percent. But the fishes, as I say, are the best known.
So our level of knowledge is much less for other groups of organisms. Now this figure is actually based on a brand new paper that's going to come out in the journal PLoS Biology. And what is does is predict how many more species there are on land and in the ocean. And what they found is that they think that we know of about nine percent of the species in the ocean. That means 91 percent, even after the census, still remain to be discovered. And so that turns out to be about two million species once all is said and done. So we still have quite a lot of work to do in terms of unknowns.
Now this bacterium is part of mats that are found off the coast of Chile. And these mats actually cover an area the size of Greece. And so this particular bacterium is actually visible to the naked eye. But you can imagine the biomass that represents. But the really intriguing thing about the microbes is just how diverse they are. A single drop of seawater could contain 160 different types of microbes. And the oceans themselves are thought potentially to contain as many as a billion different types. So that's really exciting. What are they all doing out there? We actually don't know.
The most exciting thing, I would say, about this census is the role of global science. And so as we see in this image of light during the night, there are lots of areas of the Earth where human development is much greater and other areas where it's much less, but between them we see large dark areas of relatively unexplored ocean. The other point I'd like to make about this is that this ocean's interconnected. Marine organisms do not care about international boundaries; they move where they will. And so the importance then of global collaboration becomes all the more important.
We've lost a lot of paradise. For example, these tuna that were once so abundant in the North Sea are now effectively gone. There were trawls taken in the deep sea in the Mediterranean, which collected more garbage than they did animals. And that's the deep sea, that's the environment that we consider to be among the most pristine left on Earth. And there are a lot of other pressures. Ocean acidification is a really big issue that people are concerned with, as well as ocean warming, and the effects they're going to have on coral reefs. On the scale of decades, in our lifetimes, we're going to see a lot of damage to coral reefs.
And I could spend the rest of my time, which is getting very limited, going through this litany of concerns about the ocean, but I want to end on a more positive note. And so the grand challenge then is to try and make sure that we preserve what's left, because there is still spectacular beauty. And the oceans are so productive, there's so much going on in there that's of relevance to humans that we really need to, even from a selfish perspective, try to do better than we have in the past. So we need to recognize those hot spots and do our best to protect them.
When we look at pictures like this, they take our breath away, in addition to helping to give us breath by the oxygen that the oceans provide. Census scientists worked in the rain, they worked in the cold, they worked under water and they worked above water trying to illuminate the wondrous discovery, the still vast unknown, the spectacular adaptations that we see in ocean life. So whether you're a yak herder living in the mountains of Chile, whether you're a stockbroker in New York City or whether you're a TEDster living in Edinburgh, the oceans matter. And as the oceans go so shall we.
Thanks for listening.

Auba and Reus fire Dortmund to third, but Bremen miss out on Europe
Borussia Dortmund secured automatic qualification to the group stage of next season's UEFA Champions League following a dramatic win over Werder Bremen.
Borussia Dortmund 4-3 Werder Bremen
Click right here to check your Official Fantasy Bundesliga team's final standings!
Goals: 0-1 Junuzovic (7'), 1-1 Reus (32') 2-1 Aubameyang (42'), 2-2 Bartels (46'), 2-3 Kruse (68') 3-3 Reus (75'), 4-3 Aubameyang (89')
Dortmund's hopes of bypassing the Champions League play-off round were thrown into turmoil when Zlatko Junuzovic prodded Bremen ahead, despite the best efforts of BVB goalkeeper Roman Bürki. Goal-line technology was required to determine the opener, but there was no debating Marco Reus' fine low finish as Dortmund deservedly levelled. The home side had their tails up, and duly went ahead ten minutes later, with Aubameyang meeting an audacious Ousmane Dembele pass with a thunderous over-the-shoulder volley.
Needing a win of their own to have any chance of playing UEFA Europa League football next term, Bremen levelled immediately after the restart thanks to Fin Bartels' close-range finish. The Green-Whites clearly had not read the script as Max Kruse restored the visitors' advantage, only for Reus to haul BVB level from the penalty spot for the second time. Dortmund went up a gear, with Aubameyang serving up his 31st Bundesliga goal of the campaign from 12 yards to seal third place and his maiden Torjägerkanone prize.
Man of the Match
Aubameyang's brace sees him end the season as the top scorer in the Bundesliga, with a haul of 31 – one more than Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.
Talking Point
On a hat-trick, Reus selflessly handed Aubameyang the match-ball with the scores at 3-3, knowing his strike partner in crime still had every chance of dethroning Robert Lewandowski as top scorer. The Gabon star kept up his end of the bargain, tying cub legend Lothar Emmerich's 31- goal single-season record in the process.
Match stats
- Dortmund have yet to lose a home game in the Bundesliga under Thomas Tuchel.Reus has scored in six of his eight competitive outings since returning from injury.Junuzovic scored his fourth Bundesliga goal of the season, three of which have come in the Austrian's last eight appearances.
Dortmund: Bürki - Ginter, Sokratis, Schmelzer (c) – Durm (Pulisic 46'), Kagawa, Sahin (Castro 72'), Guerreiro – Dembele (Bender 90+3') - Aubameyang, Reus
Coach: Thomas Tuchel
Bremen: Wiedwald - Veljkovic, Sane (M. Eggestein 86'), Moisander - Delaney - Gebre Selassie (Gnavry 46'), Grillitsch (Bargfrede 72'), Junuzovic (c), Garcia - Bartels, Kruse

High blood pressure, or hypertension, has long been known as the "silent killer" as many can't feel when their blood pressure is high, subsequently succumbing to its deleterious effects on the body.
However for some people, it's not completely "silent." High blood pressure could cause some easily recognizable symptoms due to some of the organ damage it is causing.
These include:
- Headache
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Decreased urine output
- Blood in the urine
- Anxiety
- Confusion
- Vision changes
- "Pounding" in the ears
- Weakness
- Bubbly, foamy urine
What do the blood pressure numbers mean?
The top number, or systolic pressure, is the pressure the heart exudes during a beat or pumping of the blood.
Diastolic pressure is the pressure in your arteries between beats while the heart is "filling".
Both numbers are equally important as elevation of either can increase one's risk of cardiovascular disease.
What blood pressure level is considered "normal" or "abnormal"?
High blood pressure has now been redefined as being greater than 130/80 mmHg, down from 140/90 mmHg. Last year it was guestimated that 42% of Americans would soon be considered "hypertensive".
What can long-term high blood pressure cause?
Chronic high blood pressure can be dangerous. It may cause:
- Heart attacks
- Heart failure
- Stroke
- Kidney disease
- Dementia
- Eye damage – vision loss
- Erectile dysfunction…to name a few.
How do we treat high blood pressure?
The stages of blood pressure are defined in the chart above. At the elevated or early stages of high blood pressure the following lifestyle changes will be recommended:
- Weight loss
- Low salt diet
- Low fat diet
- Good sleep habits
- Regular exercise
- Avoiding tobacco products
- Limiting alcohol consumption
As a family physician I would also screen for diabetes, high cholesterol, low thyroid, kidney disease and sleep apnea.
If blood pressure cannot be controlled and continues to rise, medications may be prescribed to decrease blood volume, or lower the heart rate, or relax the blood vessels.

Ocean organism key to climate change
PUBLISHED: 09:23 10 April 2009 | UPDATED: 08:51 06 July 2010
Tiny organisms living in the world's oceans could be used as an important indicator of climate change, according to new findings by an international team including a Norfolk scientist.
Tiny organisms living in the world's oceans could be used as an important indicator of climate change, according to new findings by an international team including a Norfolk scientist.
A study of a type of phytoplankton, a microscopic plant which lives in the ocean, called Micromonas, which had been previously overlooked, has been carried out using DNA techniques.
Dr Thomas Mock, from the University of East Anglia (UEA), who was among the team, discovered it thrived in oceans ranging from tropical to polar and in conditions that are predicted outcomes of climate change.
Co-author Dr Mock said: "This research shows that we need to look very carefully in the oceans because things that have been previously overlooked, such as the Micromonas species, may have a significant impact in the future ocean.
"If Micromonas and other tiny phytoplankton species dominate the future ocean, it might also have a significant impact on the entire marine food web because the food source for all other organisms will change."
The study, published this week in the journal Science, shows that while other larger phytoplankton species such as Diatoms may not grow well under these conditions, the tiny Micromonas species - which is a fifth of the size of a human blood cell - can thrive under low concentrations of nutrients and is very well adapted to lower nutrient conditions, and therefore may become more dominant.
Although the existence of Micromonas was first reported in the 1950s, until now little has been known about it.
Scientists disregarded it because of its size and lower abundance under past and current conditions of the oceans.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. (AP) — A man who tried to stop his 18-wheeler on a runaway truck ramp in Incline Village is dead after the load shifted forward and crushed the cab.
Nevada Highway Patrol officials who responded to the scene on State Route 431 just before 3 p.m. Monday say they're still investigating why the man needed to take the ramp.
They say his truck and trailer stopped at the end of the ramp, but a load of composite decking materials slid forward and smashed the cab.
No other vehicles were involved in the incident.
Emergency crews from North Lake Tahoe worked into the evening Monday to extricate the driver.
The man's identity has not yet been released.
