coral fear rising sea temperatures threaten reefs

hua hin, THAILAND A senior marine biologist at the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, Nalinee Thongtham, has revealed that coral bleaching has been detected for the first time at Koh Talu and Koh Leum in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, with about 5% of the coral reef, mainly hump corals, affected.

Increased sea temperatures, exceeding 30°C in places, are the cause, and the bleaching will expand if temperatures remain so high. Ms Nalinee said the strong influence of El Nino last year increased the temperature of seawater in the eastern Pacific, and after temperatures dropped there, the mass of warming water moved to the western Pacific, and this has been compounded by the hot summer being experienced now.

Coral bleaching has been seen before in Thailand, in the years 1991, 1995, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2010, with the most severe being the most recent, when 66.9% of coral reefs in the northern Andaman Sea and 39% in the southern Andaman Sea died from bleaching. A decision will be taken at the end of April as to whether some coral reef sites will need to be closed to aid rehabilitation.

There are 75,590 rai (approx. 121 million square metres) of coral reef in the Gulf of Thailand, of which 5% are considered to be in fertile condition and 73,364 rai (approx. 117 million sq. m) in the Andaman Sea with 6.4% in ideal condition. These numbers are under constant threat, not only from sea temperatures but also from the greater dangers of tourism and fishing related activities.

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 Though your birthday falls into the correct range of dates, the stars say you are not actually an Aquarian. In fact, they are pretty sure you’re an asshole.

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You thought your new sports car could do everything but love you, so its declaration of devotion will come as quite a shock.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 The stars foretell of a mad prophet rising in the east in the moon’s next cycle. They hope this somehow helps you with your life.

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 No one will be able to describe your death without using a lot of violent hand gestures, making whooping sounds, and generally doing his or her best “angry chimp” imitation.

Gemini May 22 – June 21 You have failed in your life’s goal, but don’t feel too bad: Of all the people who dream of working at a fast food restaurant, only 98 percent actually make it.

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..... Blaze a trail To lead the way.

When soldiers ‘blaze away’ with their weapons the blaze refers to the fire and smoke. This has been used since the late 18th century, as here from the Battle of Brooklyn, 1776:

John J. Henry’s An accurate account of the hardships of that band of heroes who traversed the wilderness in the campaign against Quebec in 1775:

“We bid them stand and blazed away like brave boys.”

The first actual usage of the precise phrase ‘blaze a trail’ that can be found is from the Montana newspaper The Helena Independent, November 1883:

The meaning we now give to ‘blaze a trail’ - of someone forging ahead and clearing a path for others, would tend to lead towards imagining blaze to mean burn, in the same way. Another allusion might be to someone charging ahead with such vigour that they leave a smouldering trail in their wake.

Those aren’t the thoughts in the mind of those that coined this phrase though. A blaze is a notch or mark, like the blaze marks seen on horses’ faces. So, ‘to blaze a trail’ was to mark it out by notching trees so that others could follow. Trees are also often marked this way to single them out for felling.

The use of blaze to mean the chipping off of a small piece of bark to mark a path or boundary is American in origin. That’s seen in these early citations.

Dr. Thomas Walker’s Journal of Exploration [of Kentucky], 1750:

“A path tolerably distinct, which we made more so by blazing the trees.”

“The merchants thereupon, desirous of securing the trade of the new mines, offered the stranger $100 if he would blaze a trail through, and afterward it could be cleared sufficiently for pack animals to pass along.”

Is there an English phrase or saying that you would like to know more about?

“I Blazed a way from our House to the River.” & “I blazed several trees in the fork and marked T. W. on a Sycamore Tree”

thick skin A married couple was in a terrible accident and the woman’s face was severely burned.

The doctor told the husband that they couldn’t graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.

However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman’s new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!

One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, “Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me.

There is no way I could ever repay you.”

“My darling,” he replied, “think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.”

5. ”A man was marooned on a desert island. One day a beautiful woman arrives in a wet suit. ’When did you last have a smoke?’ she asks. ’Five years ago.’ So she gets out a cigar and he smokes it. She unzips her wet suit a bit and says, ‘When did you last have a drink?’ He said, ‘Five years ago.’ So she gets out a bottle of Scotch and he has a drink. Then she unzips her wet suit a bit more and says, ‘And when was the last time you played around?’ He looks at her in amazement and says: ‘You’re not telling me you’ve got a set of golf clubs in there?’”

tribute to ronnie corbett 1. ”French wine growers fear that this year’s vintage may be entirely spoiled due to the grape treaders’ sit-in.”

9. “We’ll be talking to a car designer who’s crossed a Toyota with Quasimodo and come up with the Hatchback of Notre Dame.”

2. “A cement mixer collided with a prison van on the Kingston by-pass. Motorists are asked to be on the lookout for 16 hardened criminals.”

10. “A juggernaut of onions has shed its load all over the M1. Motorists are advised to find a hard shoulder to cry on.”

3. “We will be talking to an out-of-work contortionist who says he can no longer make ends meet.”

scrabble I was playing scrabble with Midge Ure the other day. He left me with 4 tiles.

4. “All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my right hand.”

6. “It was revealed in a government survey published today that the Prime Minister is doing the work of two men, Laurel and Hardy.”

7. “There was a fire at the main Inland Revenue office in London today, but it was put out before any serious good was done.”

8. “West Mercia police announced tonight that they wish to interview a man wearing high heels and frilly knickers, but the Chief Constable said they must wear their normal uniforms.”

and back Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas model monarch Many first time visitors to Thailand could be forgiven for making certain assumptions about the Monarchy. Not least because of a certain 1950’s movie, but also because of the reverance in which His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is held by his people. The images on currency and in pictures, along with those first glimpses of traditional Thai dress, conjure up thoughts of a fairy tale Royal Family who must surely live in the Grand Palace most of the time, much the same as our Queen Elizabeth lives in Buckingham Palace.

And although there are some striking similarities between the two families, in many ways the reality is quite different.

In June this year it will be 70 years since His Majesty acceded to the throne. He is the longest reigning head of state in the world, and by far the longest reigning Thai Monarch.

Born in the US in 1927 His Majesty, like our Queen, grew up happily unaware of his destiny, but unlike the Queen he spent his early years in a fairly modest American home, while his father Prince Mahidol studied medicine and his mother Mom Sangwan became a nurse. Mom Sangwan had been a commoner, who Prince Mahidol had fought against tradition to marry. As with British royalty, marrying a commoner then was frowned upon, but with Thailand there was some good reason. For Siam, as it was, was anxious to retain it’s cultural and ethnic identity - what we would now call ‘Thainess’, and while British royals had a large pool of European royal families to marry into without too much damage, Thai royalty had become, for want of a better word, more ‘condensed’ over the years. Suitable Royal suitors were becoming scarce.

As it turned out His Majesty’s background and upbringing must have stood him in good stead. As well as America,

the family also spent time living in Switzerland. His Majesty studied science, then political science, is multi lingual, a gifted artist and musician, and a champion yachtsman. But perhaps most importantly he gained an insight into how people in other countries lived, and when the time came was determined to help raise the standards and prospects of the poorest Thai people.

In doing so his approach was radical for a Thai Monarch.

His Majesty travelled to every part of his country, something none of his predecessors had done, and something which often alarmed his security guards. His aim was to provide his people with the opportunities many of them had never had - education, health care, sanitation, agricultural skills, vocational training enabling them to help themselves. Little wonder His Majesty is held in such respect to this day.

But foreign relations haven’t been neglected either. King Bhumibol is said to have done more than any other Thai monarch to raise the profile and popularity of his country abroad during his state visits. He put Thailand on the world map for the right reasons, and could probably teach the British royals a thing or two.

On April 8th 1952, in an attempt to avoid a strike, President Truman ordered the seizure of US steel mills.

A situation had arisen because he had imposed wage and price controls on industries considered essential during the Korean War, which of course included steel.

This made the Unions very unhappy. Trumans’ action was proved to be illegal and the steel workers strike went ahead anyway, getting pretty much what they had wanted in the first place after 53 days. You really have to wonder what Truman would have done with the UK steel industry.

Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: “Initially, we only sought to find out why men thought they could go down the pub wearing a shiny Christmas paper shirt prominently displaying the logo of a Far Eastern bookmakers.
