RENEWAL OF LIFE
|
|
Dye
? Pollution ? Not either. Simply
an extraordinary demonstration of
nature in full bloom. Every
year, once a year, several nights
after the first full moon of summer,
the coral bursts ‘into flower’,
liberating millions of pink, white
or brown micro-spheres. It’s the
reproduction of the miniscule animal
that constitutes coral reefs.
This
year, on November 21st and 22nd, the
usually crystal clear waters of
Kanumera Bay became strangely opaque
with huge, pinky-red patches,
bearing witness to this regenerative
event.
Former
director of the renown Aquarium in
Noumea, Pascale Joannot, describes
the brief phenomenon that lasts just
one night, as « the corals’ one
great night of love ». She explains
that male and female gametes
recognise each other and unite to
give birth to a tiny larva known as
planula.

POD-CAST
|
|
If
you’re a computer devotee with
up-to-date equipment, you might be
interested in following a recent
‘pod-cast’ concerning life on Isle
of Pines. Originating out of
Houston, Texas, the programme can be
found on www.ulivewhere.com
Looking
for soft sand, warm sunshine and
French food? Hilary knows the
ideal spot.
Podcasting
is the distribution
of audio or video files, such as
radio programs or music videos,
over the internet using RSS
syndication for listening on
mobile devices and personal
computers. A podcast is a web feed
of audio or video files placed on
the Internet for anyone to
subscribe to, and also the content
of that feed. Podcasters' websites
also may offer direct download of
their files, but the subscription
feed of automatically delivered
new content is what distinguishes
a podcast from a simple download
or real-time streaming.
