For the new wave of Japanese students, London offers freedom, excitement... and second-hand clothes. For just one year, they can live out their sexual and sartorial fantasies, before going home to conformity. Just don't tell mum and dad. By TAmsin Blachar
Saturday 10 August 1996
In Japan, Nori could wear sharp mod suits, but he is able to indulge his sartorial fantasies to the full here in London, where second-hand clothes are cheap and plentiful. Both he and Masako wear shoes by Patrick Cox, but otherwise their outfits come from street markets and second-hand shops. London offers freedom - a chance to live away from home and an opportunity to rebel, away from dispproving parents. Although the Japanese have their tribal youth cults, there is generally much less freedom of expression - be that dyeing your hair, or dressing to express your sexuality. Things a British or American teenager take for granted are still a battle ground for their Japanese peers. A short hair cut, for example, can cause untold aggravation - being seen at best as a sign of rebelliousness, at worst of sexual deviance.
While the West looks to Japan for the latest in new technology (the Japanese cannot comprehend that you can still buy a black and white TV in the UK), Japanese students and teenagers are required to live a life of conformity that is positively quaint by western standards.
Young people are expected to live at home until they are married even through their university years. Girls must conform to the sexual stereotypes of good wife and mother. It is difficult to be openly homosexual in Japan, even in Tokyo. So, for many young people, the only way to lead the lifestyle they choose is to leave the country.
Ami left Japan, despite a good job in the music industry, because of what she described as the stifling influence of her "typically conservative parents". Tomo, a 26-year-old music journalist, came to England to escape discrimination. "In Japan there is no choice," she says. "If you are over 25, you should stay at home as a good wife and a wise mother." One gay woman is so terrified of being forced to return to Japan that she is planning a "marriage" to a British friend.
Twenty-six-year old Yumi Hasegawa, hair cut in a crop, came to London two years ago to learn English. "Here, I am treated as an equal," she says. "People listen to me." She attends classes in the morning, and works afternoons in a Japanese department store. Most evenings, she goes to a rock gig, which she reviews for Japanese music magazines. Life in London is not necessarily any slower than in Tokyo, but here she is under no pressure to marry.
For Yumi, returning to Tokyo would mean returning to a role that is inferior to that of her male counterparts. "I can't accept the Japanese way of thinking," she says. "Men disrespect women. Even with the same career and education, a woman can't do the same as a man."
Yumi lives in Notting Hill, one of two geographical magnets for hip young Japanese. The other is Camden Town and its neighbouring areas. Notting Hill and Portobello market generally attract the fashion fans, while those who are into music prefer north London for its rock venues, such as The Forum.
Markets are an important factor: they represent London street life and street style. "British people think Japanese people buy lots of clothes," says Yumi, "but clothes are important to express musical taste." (As you can see from the pictures, the London sounds of the Sixties, expressed by bands such as Small Faces, and the recent cult of Easy Listening lounge music, are popular.)
Whatever their inspiration, fashion-conscious Japanese soak up new trends like sponges. Just as they will update a piece of hi-fi equipment to keep up with the latest technology, so, too, they will adopt the latest look down to every detail. This week, the shades are by Diesel. T-shirts are child-sized, by Born Free, the young British company that began on Camden Market and now sells widely in Japan. Jeans are vintage Levi's (Seventies bootleg cut are a must) or Evisu (pounds 150 upwards a pair). Platform shoes are chunky, with trainer uppers by Buffalo. (For those who have abandoned their heavy platforms, any trainer that is a limited edition and all but impossible to find will do.)
One of the first stops is the Vivienne Westwood shop at World's End, which has attracted Japanese customers since the days of the Sex Pistols. The designer opens her flagship store in Tokyo at the end of July, but her clothes are cheaper in London (a suit in Japan will cost around the same price as a flight to London). Christopher di Pietro, sales director of Vivienne Westwood, says: "Vivienne is quite a figure in Japan because she is so quintessentially English." The Japanese are attracted to the traditional English fabrics and Westwood offers a funkier version of the sort of clothes their mothers might buy from Mulberry or Aquascutum. Michiko and Daisuke are both die-hard Westwood fans, and will return home laden with whole wardrobes of her clothes.
Ryosuke is 21, and has been in London for eight months. He intends to go to university here where he will study computer design. In Tokyo, he ran a health food shop. He dresses in Comme des Garcons, bought in Tokyo. His hair is dyed tangerine. His flat has a sign outside the door requesting that visitors remove their shoes before entering. He sleeps on a futon and uses tatami matting as flooring. He is typical of his country, both progressive and fiercely traditional at the same time.
An interesting thing about the people photographed here is that they are all strikingly individual. Admittedly, most of them are linked in some way to the arts, fashion or music, but in Tokyo, even art students have to conform to a certain look. When Ryosuke goes back to Japan, chances are he will keep the designer labels, but may, like Daisuke, who recently returned home, dye his hair back to black.
Men do not have so many barriers to returning home. Shinyu came to London to work as a hairdresser and make-up artist. He intends to learn as much as he can while he is here, and then use his experience to open up his own salon in Japan.
For many, however, there is no reason to return. Mayu has been in London for a year. Her head is shaved to reveal a tattoo on either side of her scalp. (The Japanese mafia, the Yakuza, wear a dragon tattoo, which makes them even more taboo.) The little hair she has is bleached white, an obvious way of making herself look western. She goes to jungle and techno clubs and earns her keep by working as a hostess in a Japanese nightclub. Before going to work she dons a black wig, still managing to conform, at work at least, to the stereotypical image of Japanese womanhood.
For Mayu to return home would mean not only a change of image, but also a new attitude to life. The problem is that, for change to happen, this new generation of Japanese must go back with their new-found freedoms intact. They are going to have to stand up and be counted - bleached hair, tattoos, second-hand clothes and all

Video: Kobe Bryant hitting some ridiculous shots vs. Knicks
Dec 14, 2012, 12:01 PM EDT
People say all the time "Kobe Bryant needs to trust his teammates more and get them the ball, not just shoot." The reality is Kobe will try to trust his teammates for a quarter or two, but if they don't step up to his satisfaction (or if he feels the game getting away from the Lakers) he just starts to do it all himself. He always trusts and believes in himself, teammates have to earn that nightly.
That's what happened at Madison Square Garden Thursday, Carmelo Anthony took over the game early and Kobe spent most of the night trying to will his team back in the game. And the result is some vintage Kobe shots that are just ridiculous.
And like usual, that approach didn't work.
- airjunior23 - Dec 14, 2012 at 12:20 PM
Kobe, keep doin what you're doin man…Tell your dumb owner to get his mind right, fire D'antoni and get Phil back. Cut Blake immediately, get fisher back. trade Gasol for Love, Love is done in Minnesota. Kobe has been on great behavior this year…don't criticize his game of all things…criticize them weak ass teammates….That is all. And oh Yea Go GSW!!! PEACE!!

"And like usual, that approach didn't work." — That's all that counts.
- andrewproughcfe - Dec 14, 2012 at 1:47 PM
By the way – Manu Ginobili takes and makes those same shots almost every night. Anyone who follows the Spurs would not be very impressed.
- aboogy123456 - Dec 14, 2012 at 1:49 PM
stupid argument. So you're saying that if Kobe didn't score 30 last night then they would have a better shot to win? Why don't you watch basketball instead of looking at box scores.
- airjunior23 - Dec 14, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Jus like in the Iverson days, you cant make people put the ball in the cup, you cant make people want to win. That has to be in you. Lebron always made all this hoopla about no help no help…and he averaged almost 8 assists. If people make shots, stars dont have to take as many (Which is still a flawed argument)
Kobe leads by as much example as he can, he's on fire this year, he's going to the foul line and still averaging 5+ assists. Last night two starter had 3 points apiece….I guess that's Kobe's fault….Dont hate because you think you dont like the guy….because if you didnt notice, you've never met him.
- paulhargis53 - Dec 14, 2012 at 2:21 PM
Looking at the boxscores says the Lakers lost AGAIN last night.
This game was over at halftime, why play Kobe 44 minutes in a lost cause game?
Desperate for a win I guess…..
Final score says they lost by 7. I watched the game. L.A. was never in it.
- rayray5227 - Dec 14, 2012 at 2:56 PM
It's also so easy for people to forget this guy has been in the league for 17 years!

Great point!
- paulhargis53 - Dec 14, 2012 at 3:36 PM
It's not hard to forget that. His defense looked like he'd been in the league 17 years, 10 years ago.

Harlem Globetrotters are recruiting him…..He can be the new MeadowLark Lemon….ahahahahaha
Hitting trick shots does not equate to "FUNDAMENTAL" and it does not equate to wins !!!!
Get the confetti, red white and blue uniform and grace the Harlem Globetrotter court where he truly belongs.
Stop disgracing the "FUNDAMENTAL" game of "Basketball" …..which is different from making H.O.R.S.E. shots….ahahahaha
- manchestermiracle - Dec 14, 2012 at 10:04 PM
I stopped watching after the first half. Kobe threw up bombs from all over, usually early in the clock without even trying to establish the offense. And he missed most of them.
- badintent - Dec 15, 2012 at 12:29 AM
The PT Barnum Circus will be in town next week, Kobe can play horse trick shots at $20 /a shot. Mr. Trump , you're next. And no firing anyone , no WWF fighting or buying the circus for the White House.All the real clowns are in Congress on both sides of the fence.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

Ryan Cook is finally throwing again after shoulder problems
Mar 19, 2014, 4:10 PM EDT
Out since mid-February with a shoulder injury, A's right-hander Ryan Cook threw 21 pitches in a simulated game against teammates today and said afterward that he felt good.
In fact, Cook felt so good that he told John Hickey of the San Jose Mercury News he's game-ready and still holding out a slim hope of avoiding beginning the season on the disabled list.
Oakland has spent a ton of money and resources on building an excellent, deep bullpen, so the A's can deal with not having Cook for a while, but he's a huge part of their plans after appearing in 71 games during each of the past two seasons with a combined 2.54 ERA and 9.4 strikeouts per nine innings.
- clydeserra - Mar 19, 2014 at 4:39 PM
they all want to go for the home opener.
I would hope that the A's hold him back for the stretch.
- atmrover2013 - Mar 20, 2014 at 1:27 PM
I agree: it's a LOOoong season ..
I hope the shocking disappointment of Jarrod Parker's injury doesn't keep us out of the playoffs this year. Here I was, thinking the low budget A's would outdo their richer, more popular SF Giants brethren for a consecutive year –
brimming with optimism that this would be the year we were actually favored to win the division – and would go past the first round of the playoffs. And now this, Parker being out for the year, possibly next year too, uggh ..
But hope springs eternal. And a lot of other MLB teams have suffered injuries and setbacks in Spring Training, including this latest unfortunate happenstance with Aroldis Chapman. The Giants won in 2012, even without the Melk-man in the 2nd half;
so, anything is possible. And the A's came into Spring with some of the greatest pitching depth in the league. Only, none of us thought they'd have to be digging into that depth even before the season started. But, well, go A's!

Soul Asylum
As part of the big three Minneapolis godsends of the '80s (along with Hüsker Dü and the Replacements), Soul Asylum, despite significantly higher sales figures, always played third fiddle in that triumvirate. Once they became big stars via "Runaway Train," lead singer and pretty boy Dave Pirner always seemed a little too comfortable in those corporate shoes, fooling around with Winona Ryder (who wasn't?) and over-emoting on each successive release.
The Silver Lining is Soul Asylum's first release since 1998 (and last with late bass player Karl Mueller), and in spite of a return to the tougher guitar sound of yesteryear, songs such as "Crazy Mixed-Up World" and "Success Is Not So Sweet" are so hackneyed and polished that it's hard to find any discernible difference between this and current twaddle such as the All-American Rejects. Pirner and guitarist Dan Murphy have never been known as the brightest of bulbs, but previously, they could turn a phrase and a riff into something memorable (as heyday gems "Cartoon," "Freaks" and "Somebody to Shove" bear witness). Here, the recycled melodies and substandard lyrics make one pine for a time before stardom turned rough-hewn charm into the worst thing a rock record can be: faceless.

26 out of 27 people found this instruction helpful
This is fairly easy for anyone to do. First I opened up the front (silver part) of the oven door by removing the screws at the top and the bottom. Then I kept on removing the various layers of glass... the 2 outside ones are removed by removing their respective screws and then you get to the inner-most. These 2 inner ones are in a frame that holds them together. I removed the large silver frame that holds the insulation and the 2-glass-frame in it. Just remove the screws and then tilt the insulation frame out a bit to remove the glass frame. You can tilt the entire insulation holder out but the insulation is soft and it starts to fall off. Just tilting it enough worked for me. Then I opened up the glass frame from one end, removed the left-over broken piece of the old glass pane and installed the new one in. Then reassemble. The entire process is very easy - but you will need another person for a few minutes when you remove /reinstall the glass frame inside the insulation holder. You would just need a little help holding everything... nothing technical. I would rate the repair technicality at 4 or 5/10. It could even be a 3 if there were less steps involved. Good luck! By the way, Amana/Maytag wanted $70 or so for the glass and then the repair fee. I got the part here for about $50.

Third-day MLB Draft notes
Jun 11, 2009, 4:43 PM EDT
– The Red Sox selected
outfielder Michael Yastrzemski, Carl's grandson, in the 36th round. The
youngest Yaz is expected to ask for first-round money to back out of a
commitment to play at Vanderbilt, but the Red Sox likely have a better
chance of signing him than anyone else would have.
– Catcher Austin Maddox, the lone Baseball America top-100 player
still on the board entering day three, finally went to the Rays in the
37th round. He has a scholarship at Florida awaiting him.
– Muhammed Ali's adopted son, Asaad, was picked in the 40th round by the Angels. Ali is an 18-year-old catcher out of Michigan.
– The White Sox took the sons of GM Ken Williams and coach Harold Baines in the 43rd and 45th rounds, respectively.
– The Cubs grabbed Reds GM Walt Jocketty's son, Joey, in the 47th round.

In a refreshing act of journalism, the Tennessean's religion editor, Bob Smietana, has interviewed several Muslim members of the Middle Tennessee community. The interviews reflect universal pride in American military success, as well as relief about the death of the world's most notorious Muslim terrorist.
A sampling of quotes:
God will handle him and will serve justice. The truth is that I can neither rejoice nor mourn the occasion.
It doesn't take away the hurt. But we hope it will bring some peace to the families who lost people in 9/11.
Great day for not only America but the free world to have gotten rid of this menace and preacher of intolerance, hatred and violence ... I am very proud as an American and a Marine.
Just because bin Laden has gone away doesn't mean his ideology has gone away. We need to stand firm in the name of humanity.
He has no place in the paradise of God. This is the promise of God: Justice will catch up with you. Now bin Laden has to face his Lord and give an account for the souls that he killed.
Many of those Muslims interviewed have been targets of religious persecution and domestic terrorism in Tennessee, as they face the backlash of angry (and mostly Christian) Southern whites who perceive Muslims as a threat and adherents of a false religion.
In Columbia, Tennessee - located about 45 miles south of downtown Nashville - a small mosque was burned down by a group of three white men in their 20s who specifically targeted the storefront place of worship because of their Islamophobic views:
During the plea hearing Golden and Stone admitted to constructing Molotov cocktails, breaking into the Islamic Center, igniting the devices and using them to destroy the mosque. The men further admitted that they had committed these actions due to the religious component of the building.
A third defendant charged in the case, Eric Ian Baker, 32, has not yet entered a plea.
Authorities claim the three men went to the Islamic Center, where Baker allegedly spray-painted swastikas and the words "White Power" on the walls, while Golden and Stone broke in and ignited the Molotov cocktails.
A Muslim group in Murfreesboro has faced consistent criticism, persecution, and attacks from so-called Christian groups who claim that a proposed mosque would harm their neighborhood. (Ginormous Baptist church additions are ok, however.)
Despite these continued acts of discrimination, carried out against many Muslims who came to the United States to escape religious persecution and extremism in their countries of origin, the Muslim community in Middle Tennessee perseveres. The death of Osama Bin Laden is giving many Tennessee Muslims hope that the post 9/11 atmosphere of hatred and suspicion will give way to a renewed sense of community.

I encourage you to post your local news reports in the comments below. Let this serve as a community diary with reflections on how we treat Muslims in our neighborhood.

Great titles, yes? Three very different voices about the brain. Perhaps Dr. Amen's books should be taken with a pinch of salt. When he wrote that his own brain scans were much healthier after his divorce, (and re-marriage to a younger, nicer woman) it made me wonder about the diagnostic ability of scans. He's been listed on "Quack Watch", and has annoyed parts of the medical community with some of his inflated claims, but there is still an amount of thought provoking and practical material here. No such controversies with Dr. Daniel J. Carlat, senior editor of the "Carlat Report", and whose book, "Unhinged", takes a close look at the relationship between drug companies and doctors. Useful and v. humorous! And then, for the true science reader, V.S. Ramachandran's new book looks at where the cutting edge brain research is going.

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee starts airing a new TV ad on Tuesday that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas.
The ad -- which is to air in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina -- features the former Arkansas governor in front of a Christmas tree and wearing a red sweater. Huckabee tells viewers that they probably are just "about worn out from all the (campaign) television commercials you've been seeing."
He goes on to say that despite the barrage of political ads, "what really matters is the celebration of the birth of Christ and being with our family and our friends."
Huckabee, a former Baptist minister, concludes with "God bless, and merry Christmas" as "Silent Night" plays in the background.

Phase Change Memory (PCM)
Abbreviated as PCM, phase change memory is a type of non-volatile memory that is much faster than the common flash memory, and it also uses up to one-half the power. It works by using a semiconductor alloy that can be changed rapidly between an ordered, crystalline phase having lower electrical resistance to a disordered, amorphous phase with much higher electrical resistance. Because no electrical power is required to maintain either phase of the material, so phase-change memory is non-volatile.
Abbreviated as PCM, phase change memory is a type of non-volatile memory that is much faster than the common flash memory, and it also uses up to one-half the power. It works by using a semiconductor alloy that can be changed rapidly between an ordered, crystalline phase having lower electrical resistance to a disordered, amorphous phase with much higher electrical resistance. Because no electrical power is required to maintain either phase of the material, so phase-change memory is non-volatile.
This emerging non-volatile technology pioneered by Intel, Numonyx, Samsung and others — could turn out to be a low-cost, more reliable, faster, and just plain better alternative to flash memory. Some industry insiders even believe PCM has the potential to accelerate the data storage market's slow transition from hard disk drives (HDDs) to solid state drives (SSDs).
EnterpriseStorageForum.com has been covering storage networking for more than a decade. In this "Phase Change Memory: The Next Big Thing in Data Storage?" featured article, Herman Mehling offers an overview of phase change memory (PCM) and discusses its potential use in enterprise data storage environments.
What Exactly Is Phase Change Memory?
PCM offers high performance and low power consumption, combining the best attributes of NOR, NAND and RAM within a single chip, said Ed Doller, the chief technology officer of Numonyx, a joint venture created by Intel and STMicroelectronics. He said those attributes are: bit-alterable; non-volatile; fast read speed; fast write/erase speed; and good scalability.
Bit alterable: Similar to RAM or EEPROM, PCM is bit-alterable — meaning that stored information can be switched from one to zero, or zero to one, without a separate erase step. Flash memory technology requires a separate erase step in order to change information.
Non-volatile: PCM is non-volatile, as are NOR flash and NAND flash. PCM does not require a constant power supply to retain information, while RAM does.
Read performance: Similar to RAM and NOR flash memory, PCM features fast random access times. This enables the execution of code directly from the memory, without an intermediate copy to RAM. The read latency of PCM is comparable to single bit per cell NOR flash, while the read bandwidth can match DRAM.
Write/erase performance: PCM will achieve write throughput speeds faster than NAND and with lower latency. These features, when combined with a no separate erase step (bit-alterable), will deliver significant write performance improvement over NOR and NAND flash.
Scalability: Scaling is another area where PCM offers a difference. Both NOR and NAND rely on floating gate memory structures, which are difficult to shrink. As the memory cell shrinks on flash, the number of electrons stored on the floating gate shrinks. Because PCM does not store charge (electrons), it is immune to the charge storage scaling issue.
Recently, Intel and Numonyx researchers demonstrated a 64MB test chip that stacks, or places multiple layers of PCM arrays within a single die. The layering of arrays provides the scalability to reach higher memory densities while maintaining high performance rates.
So far, the cost of NAND flash technology has been driven to extremely low levels through the use of leading edge lithography, but it remains to be seen how much lower it can go. That is why many are looking for alternatives.

Margaret Thatcher's death is very sad news indeed. She was a political leader whose words carried great weight. I was aware of this when I prepared for our meeting in 1984. This was the first step in the search for a common language — a most difficult search.
Our first conversation, over lunch at Chequers, was very sharp at first, almost to the point of a breakdown. Raisa Maksimovna, sat on the other side of the table, heard this and was very upset. I decided to relieve the tension.
"I know you as a person of conviction, committed to certain principles and values," I told the Iron Lady. "This commands respect. But you should keep in mind that you are sitting next to a person of the same sort. And I must tell you that I have not been instructed by the Politburo to convince you to join the Communist Party." Mrs Thatcher laughed, and the conversation became normal.
There were many meetings after that, many arguments. Often we disagreed. She, for example, was highly alarmed by the talks I had had with Ronald Reagan in Reykjavik about a world without nuclear weapons, about an agreement to eliminate medium-range missiles. "We will not survive another Reykjavik," she would say. And I would ask, "Are you really so comfortable sitting on a nuclear powder keg?"
Why is it that we were able to reach an understanding? We gradually developed a personal rapport that became increasingly friendly over the years. Eventually we reached a degree of mutual trust.
It was important that Mrs Thatcher never doubted our intentions, that she argued with those who would assert that perestroika was "an attempt to lower the vigilance of the West".
And at the critical stage of perestroika, when the need arose for concrete support for reforms in our country, it was Mrs Thatcher who actively pushed the idea of our participation in the G7 in London, and did a lot to prepare the meeting.
When the actual meeting took place in July 1991, however, she was no longer prime minister. So we met in the Soviet Embassy in London.
I remember our talk. Of course, it is good, Mrs Thatcher said, that your meeting with the G7 came about; in fact, everything at the meeting was focused on your participation and on bringing the Soviet Union into the world economy. It is now accepted that the Soviet Union has irreversibly entered on the path of reform, and these reforms have the support of the people and deserve the support of the West. But — and here she literally choked up with emotion — she added: "Why did the leaders of the Seven not go for concrete, practical measures of support? Where were the actual steps? They let you down. But now they have declared their support and co-operation, they should be grasped. Don't let them go, demand concrete action!"
The 1991 August putsch interrupted our plans. It is interesting that Mrs Thatcher, who always proclaimed her faith in the free market, was sceptical about the "shock therapy" approach chosen by our radical reformers.
We met more than once afterwards, and argued some more, but we always agreed that our generation of politicians was given a major mission: to put an end to the Cold War — and this mission we accomplished.
Margaret Thatcher was a great political leader and an extraordinary personality. She will remain in our memory and in history.

Dodgers place Hyun-Jin Ryu on the 15-day disabled list
Aug 15, 2014, 10:15 PM EDT
Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a Grade 1-2 strain of his glute, per Eric Stephen of SB Nation's True Blue LA. Kevin Correia, acquired from the Twins on Sunday, will start in Ryu's place on Sunday, Stephen writes. Pedro Baez has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Ryu's place on the roster.
Ryu left in the sixth inning of Wednesday's start against the Braves, in which he allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings. Overall, he's had a pretty good season for the Dodgers, posting a 3.28 ERA with a 122/27 K/BB ratio in 137 1/3 innings.
Correia made his Dodgers debut on Monday, limiting the Braves to one run over six innings. He has otherwise struggled this season, however, as he sits with a 4.79 ERA and a 66/33 K/BB ratio in 135 1/3 innings.

The operator of a U.K.-registered containership has been ordered to pay £17,311.01 for breaching oil pollution legislation.
The Ever Sigma – operated by Evergreen Marine – was en route from Greece to the Netherlands when 700 liters of heavy fuel oil went overboard. The incident occurred when the chief engineer decided to carry out an internal transfer of heavy fuel oil using two pumps.
The heavy fuel oil was not pre-heated prior to the transfer – and the vessel's master was not informed.
A precautionary alarm sounded when the tank reached 336 metric tons (69% full). However, the use of two pumps continued for another hour when the transfer was stopped when the fuel level reached 417 metric tons (85% full).
Shortly afterwards, the ship's bosun – a senior crewman of the deck – was doing rounds when he noticed heavy fuel oil spilling onto the deck through an air pipe. The alarm was raised and clean-up operations on board began. This took about nine hours.
Some heavy fuel oil spilt overboard about 83 miles off Kalamata in Greece.
About 27 hours after the spill occurred, the Ever Sigma reported the incident to the Italian authorities. The ship was advised by the Italian Coastguard to report the incident to Greece. This was done. On arrival in Rotterdam, the vessel was inspected by Dutch officials who conducted their own investigation. Information was passed to the U.K. as flag state to ultimately deal with the matter.
By pumping cold heavy fuel oil with two pumps, the ship's staff had over-pressurized the tank, which then forced it out through an air pipe.
There was also a breakdown in the ship's safety management system and procedures were not followed during the incident, which occurred on 24 January, 2013.
The operator was fined £10,000, plus costs of £7,191.01, and a victim surcharge of £120 after pleading guilty to a breach of oil pollution legislation.
In passing sentence at today's hearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court, Chairman of the Magistrates' Bench Patz said, "If the heavy fuel oil hadn't been seen by the boson, the incident could have been much worse."
"The delay in reporting the incident was also unacceptable," Patz added.
The operator's early guilty plea, cooperation with the authorities and previous good character was commended in court.
"When carrying out routine internal transfers of fuel it is essential that ships follow procedures set in their safety management system – they have been put in place for a reason," said Jonathan Simpson, Head of Environmental Policy at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). "Also, if a spill does occur, it should be reported promptly to the local authorities."

Worlds Inside The Head
by Sara Russell
I remember the first time...
feeling your movement inside me.
How I smiled...
knowing it was you.
And I thank God for my being there.
I remember when you came into this world...
the pain turned to a peaceful calm.
How I smiled...
seeing your for the first time.
And I thanked God for my being there.
I remember the first time I left you alone...
that feeling the emptiness not seeing you.
How I smiled...
when I cam back and saw you.
And I thanked God, for my being there.
I remember the pain in my heart...
when I heard you where ill.
How I cried...
wanting it to be me and not you.
But, I thanked God for my being there.
Now I am here...
for you, my darling child.
I am here to smile when you are sad.
Here to hold you tight when you feel ill.
And still, I thank God for my being there.
I remember all my love...
from the time you fluttered inside me...
seeing your first steps...
seeing that smile which can melt the coldest heart.
And I thank God for my being here.
I thank him for allowing me to be your mother.
I thank him for giving you a heart so warm and full...
that all around you can feel.
I thank him for you... and you alone.
And I thank him for letting me be there.
I love you my darling one.
Know that I am here for you always...
watching you grow older each day.
And know I love you more with each passing day.
And for this my loving child...I thank God for letting me be there.
