slick operation
beach re-opened but should it be?
hua hin, THAILAND The official line on whether it is now safe to go ‘back in the water’ after last week’s oil spill from various authorities has been that it is, although with the proviso that some oil will still be encountered in places. While we are loathe to report something that would be damaging to either tourism or the image of the area, we don’t agree that either the cleanup is complete nor that it can be certain it is safe for everyone to use the beach and ocean as normal, particularly children. We have spoken to regular users of the beach, and along with other anecdotal stories, we believe that there is still a problem with the oil that has seeped into the beach and the sand beneath the sea, with many people reporting returning from the beach and sea with their feet covered in a mixture of sand and oil. Some areas are better than others though, and the situation will gradually improve naturally as the remaining oil is broken down and dispersed by the sea, but we understand how long this process will take does depend on exactly what type of oil is involved, something that is still to be identified, along with who exactly was responsible. One possible silver lining to this event is that the Marine Department and related agencies have been asked to step up inspections at sea and examine the logbook of ships, as part of measures to stop ships dumping fuel. Ministry permanent secretary Kasemsant Jinnawaso said there had been discussions with the Marine, Pollution Control, and Marine and Coastal Resources departments and that the first action would be to let the Marine Department inspect the sea more than 12 nautical miles from the shoreline to search and prevent ships from dumping oil into the sea. Meanwhile Prachuap Khiri Khan Governor Tawee Naritsirikul said that Hua Hin City Municipality, Provincial Marine Office and Pranburi National Forest Park had sent reports to the police to press charges over the oil leak.

SERVED UP BY...
A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. This week it is..... Point-blank Close enough to go directly to a target. In the Late Middle Ages, when ‘point-blank’ was coined, archery and artillery targets were usually white. ‘Blank’ derives from the French ‘blanc’, which of course means white. ‘Point’ is a little more ambiguous. What was first meant by ‘point-blank range’ was rather more precise than our current meaning. Then, as now, it meant ‘too close to miss’, but the specific meaning was ‘within the distance that a missile travels in a direct line, with no perceptible drop due to gravity’. The ‘point’ in the term may have referred to the point of the arrow that was about to be fired - if the point coincided with the target in the archer’s eyeline then the target would be hit, so long as it was within ‘point-blank range’. Another interpretation is that ‘point’ was a verb and that ‘pointblank’ just meant ‘pointing at the (blanc) target’. The expression betrays its ye-olde origins by appearing first in print in the form of ‘poynt blancke’. An example of that comes from the English mathematician Thomas Digges’ Arithmetical Military Treatise, 1579, asking the kind of question that might have turned up in a Tudor
maths lesson (no wonder they crept like snails, unwilling to school): If a Falcon that carrieth poynt blancke 150 pase, at vtmost randon randge 1300 pases, I demaunde howe farre a Culuering at his vtmost randon will reach, that at poynt blancke, or leuell, rangeth 250 pase. Note: Falcons and culverins were cannons, small and large respectively. Into the 17th century and the ‘direct level flight’ meaning was alluded to by no less an author than Sir Walter Raleigh, in The History of the World, 1614: Training his Archers to shoot compasse, who had bin accustomed to the point blanke. Note: Compass meant ‘curved’, as in the flight of an arrow over a long distance. The figurative ‘direct and blunt’ meaning that we now often use is found in phrases like ‘asked/denied/refused pointblank’. This also came into use around the turn of the 17th century and was listed in John Florio’s English/ Italian dictionary A worlde of wordes, 1598, in which he equates ‘forthright’ with ‘point blanke’.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 You love saying that Jesus never said a word against your lifestyle, but in fact He spoke out many times against the practice of murdering people in cold blood. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 You will be spiritually elevated to a new dimension, but unfortunately it will only be a new dimension in storage solutions for home and office. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 While it may not be true that everyone has something they do better than anyone else, the stars cannot remember the last time they so enjoyed watching someone flee angry zoo animals. ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 You’ll wake up in strangers’ beds five times this week, which should be all the proof you need that you should meet more people.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Sometimes it’s useful to be literalminded, but for God’s sake, please stop coming up with new ways to skin a cat. Gemini May 22 – June 21 It’s nice that you finally found someone to love and who also loves you, but a moment’s consideration should be all you need to realize that this does not constitute an adequate reason to live. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Okay, the stars are sorry that they made you wear a gorilla suit all last week for what turned out to be no reason, but it’s really, truly, vitally important that you wear a Carmen Miranda fruit hat everywhere for the next few days. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 The stars indicate that fortune is in your future this week. Really. All 140 trillion of them in the known universe talked it over in one of their star meetings and they all agreed that yeah, you’re getting lots of money.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 Take heart: A higher power does indeed hear your prayers, and as soon as it can figure out exactly where they’re coming from, it’s going to do something about them once and for all. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 You will begin to see things differently this week when your eyes are suddenly replaced with a set of novelty video filters. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 It’s not that people won’t care when you fall screaming and flaming from the sky next week. They’ve just gotten used to you by now is all. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Playing the lottery every week and losing should give you insights into what’s wrong with your life, particularly because you almost never recognize any of the winning numbers.

and back Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas cultural differences When Tony Blair became the UK Prime Minister in 1997 he came up with the mantra ‘Education, Education, Education.’ Which to be honest sounded a bit silly at first. After all, few would argue that education isn’t important, so what point was he trying to make that would be different to previous governments? But in fact education was top of Blairs’ agenda, and it probably needed to be at that time. The 10 years of increased investment which followed - tens of thousands more teachers and support staff, improved school facilities, introducing ‘social care’ in schools, which included things like breakfast clubs, our schools had still only been dragged into line with other industrialised nations in terms of education spending. It is true that exam pass rates had improved, but inner city school pupils still lagged behind those educated in the suburbs. Perhaps even more telling is that part of the ‘social care’ introduced to schools included mentors and behaviour advisors, together with a ‘zero tolerance’ attitude towards bad behaviour. Those behaviour advisors are still around, and under the last 5 years of a different government even more measures have been either introduced or proposed to help curb the aggressive and violent behaviour of some pupils, including advice to teachers on mental health issues in pupils. Yet only last week an Aberdeen schoolboy stabbed another pupil to death, while last year in another knife attack a Leeds schoolboy killed a teacher. Clearly the behaviour of some pupils hasn’t improved at all, and is more likely getting worse. A group of academics at one London university have been studying the problem, and have concluded that it is very rare for schools to encourage good behaviour as a virtue in its own right. Instead pupils are told that by behaving themselves they will allow teachers to do their job - teach. Which in turn means that the children can learn and progress. The downside of this approach, say the academics, is that success doesn’t depend entirely on good behaviour. That many perfectly behaved pupils still won’t achieve academically, and you can’t argue with that. But what about those pupils who have no desire to study or pass exams, so cause disruption deliberately to prevent teachers doing their job? And is there any link between that theory and the fact that, during the last 5 years, white working class boys have replaced their Bangladeshi and Pakistani peers at the very bottom of Britains educational ladder? Then, as these thoughts were still chasing each other

around in my brain cell, came the news of Thailands’ latest idea to help improve its own standards of education. Quite brilliant in its simplicity, and an outstanding example of Thai logic - it goes like this - faced with a desire to make classroom lessons more concise, allowing students to study with ease, while enabling them to apply their new found knowledge in real life, what do you do? Easy - shorten school hours. Problem solved. With an hour a day less in school lessons will have to be more concise, while that extra hour of free time will enable pupils to apply their new found knowledge to help more on the family farm, or to join Mum and Dad on their market stall. Even - heaven forbid - to sell more flowers on the sois. Only those children from more affluent families will have the resources needed to take up golf or tennis, or teach themselves to race Papas BMW around town. If they need extra private education it won’t be a problem. The new regime is said to be a pilot, though quite how it will be assessed isn’t clear. Neither is it clear how the aim of studying more easily can be achieved by shortening the hours allowed for study. Or maybe our Western heads are looking at the situation from the wrong angle altogether. Thailands education system is often criticised for being too rigid. We tend to see learning by rote as old fashioned and ineffective. Yet Thai school children are also taught some other important life skills. They are well turned out. They seem well behaved. And they learn respect. Perhaps if more UK pupils were as disciplined there would be no more need for behaviour advisors in our schools. Meanwhile lets’ hope that this Thai education pilot doesn’t simply widen the class divide. On November 6th Richard Nixon became the 37th United States President, and on the same date in 1996 Bill Clinton was elected to a second term.

Sunday 8th November 2015 PREMIER LEAGUE Soi 102, Hua Hin (200m on right after railway) Arsenal v Tottenham 23:00 The top of the table is tightening up nicely with a couple of unexpected teams mixing it with the usual suspects, and others expected to be up there still adrift. Arsenal, whatever their manager’s detractors say, are always in the top four and can go top, for at least a day, if they win or draw here. Tottenham are normally vying for a top six spot, but aside from their thumping win over Manchester City, their record against last season’s top six is not good, with two draws and three defeats. However the North London derby, like any other local grudge match, throws everything out of the window. Spurs are in good form and scoring goals, and despite the improved defence of the Gunners with the addition of Petr Cech, we think they can expose the weaknesses that are still there. However Arsenal can be equally devastating in attack, so we can see this being a high scoring attacking game ending in a score draw. fixtures

blue i.s the colour Islamic State claim responsibility for devastating start to Chelsea’s season england Islamic State have claimed responsibility for Chelsea’s catastrophic start to the Premier League campaign, according to reports. An unverified statement purported to be from IS states the west London outfit’s atrocious form is not down to manager Jose Mourinho losing the dressing room, but a direct result of actions taken by militants affiliated with the terrorist organisation. A spokesman for Islamic State – a West Ham fan who wished to remain nameless – said such a devastating shift in team performance could not have been orchestrated by one man alone. He told reporters, “Sure it might appear that Jose Mourinho is solely responsible for a level of performance that would make a team of valium-addled sloths seem fleet of foot, but I assure you it is actually all the work of residents of the Islamic State caliphate.”
Above: Under pressure Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho looks away in horror at another woeful Chelsea performance
“These young men in Chelsea shirts were lured to follow a false idol in Mourinho, and to adopt the ways of the infidel.” “This made them ripe for conversion to our cause and our plan began with their first home defeat of the season.” He went on, “The players have responded well to our methods, particularly John Terry who agreed to take multiple wives.” “But only so long as they belonged to his teammates.” Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho rejected the claims by Islamic State, but also denied Chelsea’s fall from grace could be the fault of one man alone. “IS – no, no, no, no,” he said. ‘Wait, they have a female doctor?’ “In that case it probably was their fault.”
