Skip to comments.Immediate Action Needed To Save Corals From Climate Change
Posted on 12/14/2007 8:41:13 AM PST by cogitator
The journal Science has published a paper that is the most comprehensive review to date of the effects rising ocean temperatures are having on the world's coral reefs. The Carbon Crisis: Coral Reefs under Rapid Climate Change and Ocean Acidification, co-authored by seventeen marine scientists from seven different countries, reveals that most coral reefs will not survive the drastic increases in global temperatures and atmospheric CO2 unless governments act immediately to combat current trends.
The paper, the cover story for this week's issue of Science, paints a bleak picture of a future without all but the most resilient coral species if atmospheric CO2 levels continue on their current trajectory. Marine biodiversity, tourism and fishing industries and the food security of millions are at risk, the paper warns. Coral reef fisheries in Asia currently provide protein for one billion people and the total net economic value of services provided by corals is estimated to be $30 billion.
Dr. Bob Steneck, of the University of Maine and co-author of the paper, said the time was right for international leaders to commit to meaningful action to save the world's coral reefs: "The science speaks for itself. We have created conditions on Earth unlike anything most species alive today have experienced in their evolutionary history. Corals are feeling the effects of our actions and it is now or never if we want to safeguard these marine creatures and the livelihoods that depend on them."
Scientists have long thought that the effects of climate change and the resulting acidification of the oceans spells trouble for reefs. Coral skeletons are made of calcium, and reef development requires plenty of carbonate ions to build these skeletons, a process called calcification. When carbon dioxide is absorbed in the ocean, the pH level drops, along with the amount of carbonate ions, slowing the growth of coral reefs.
Atmospheric CO2 levels are currently at 380 parts per million (ppm) and the paper's authors, members of the Coral Reef Targeted Research and Capacity Building for Management Program (CRTR), calculate that once levels reach 560ppm, the calcification process could be reduced by up to 40 percent. Recent science also suggests that by 2100 the oceans will be so acidic that 70 percent of the habitat for deep-water corals, once considered relatively safe from the effects of climate change, will be uninhabitable.
Ocean acidification is just one example of the threats corals are facing. Bleaching, a process that is triggered when summer sea temperatures rise above normal for weeks at a time, causes corals to expel the algae that gives them their colour and nutrients. This phenomenon killed 16 percent of reef-building corals in 1997, according to the paper's authors. Destructive fishing methods, oil and gas exploration and pollution have also contributed to the global decline of coral reefs, with 20 percent already destroyed and another 50 percent threatened or verging on collapse in just the past few decades.
Consumer demand has also placed corals at risk. Popular products include coral jewelry, home decor items and live animals used in home aquaria. Corals grow so slowly it can take decades for them to recover, if at all. Catches of precious red corals, the most valuable of all coral species, provide a striking example of how demand for a fashion item can decimate a species. Red coral populations have plummeted 89 percent in the past two decades. Conscientious companies such as Tiffany and Co. removed real coral from their product lines over five years ago.
Fernanda Kellogg, president of The Tiffany and Co. Foundation, said, "Tiffany and Co. is committed to obtaining precious materials in ways that are socially and environmentally responsible. We decided to stop using real coral in our jewelry and feel that there are much better alternatives that celebrate the beauty of the ocean without destroying it."
Yet there is hope for corals and the life that depends on them. Scientists are calling for a reduction of carbon emissions to ensure corals' survival. It is also vitally important to reduce local pressures on corals such as overfishing, removal for consumer items, and pollution. If these local pressures are addresssed, coral populations will be stronger and will have a better chance of surviving climate change. Tiffany and Co. is forming new partnerships with fashion designers, scientists and conservation organizations to raise awareness of the urgent need for coral conservation.
Dawn M. Martin, president of SeaWeb, said, "Corals belong in the ocean, not in our homes or in our jewelry boxes. Consumers and the fashion industry can play an important role in the ocean's recovery by simply avoiding purchases of red and other corals. These jewels of the sea are simply too precious to wear."
In 2008, scientists, conservationists and governments will mobilize around the world to celebrate the International Year of the Reef (IYOR), a worldwide initiative to raise awareness of the importance of corals and coral reefs. The 11th International Coral Reef Symposium will be held July 7-11, 2008, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Over 2,500 attendees from academic, government and conservation organizations are expected to attend to discuss the latest coral science and its implications for the survival of these international treasures.
The extraordinary thing is that people can actually say stuff like this with a straight face.
Read Creichton's "State of Fear" if you want to find out about the environazi's tactics. This is right out of that book.
What's a mutha to do?
If they're that fragile then who needs them.
CO2! Wow, lets all hold our breath until we die.
So how exactly do we save the coral reefs from the natural cycle of warming that follows the previous cycle of cooling? What is their plan to stop the Earth from recovering from the last Ice Age?
How arrogant to think that in the four billion year history of this planet, with its wide range of high and low temperatures, the Earth's natural, optimal temperature just happens to be the one they're experiencing right now...and that they are powerful enough to change it by simply using different light bulbs.
Sounds like something out of a Cheech and Chong movie LOL. I'm about to start tearing up from laughter. I can't take this.
I didn't realize that. So you think that the coral reefs are actually in great shape?
That was over 10,000 years ago. Holocene temperatures have been very stable.
What is their plan to stop the Earth from recovering from the last Ice Age?
The last vestiges of the LIA may have persisted into the early 1900s.
And temperatures are one thing; corals are also imperiled by ocean acidification.
These whacks really need to get it all on the same page. I was watching (Well, it was on) a show on Discovery/History/TLC about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. On the one hand it was all about Global Warming(TM) and how it was affecting the reef, but they failed to stop the mention of the last Ice Age, where sea levels were down 300+ feet and the reef was completely out of the water and DEAD.
Of course, when the levels rose to today's levels the currents brought in more animals to populate the reef and SURPRIZE! It was back again.
Gone yesterday, here today, gone tomorrow? So what? Nature has it's ways and we aren't separate from them we are part of them.
"So how exactly do we save the coral reefs from the natural cycle of warming that follows the previous cycle of cooling?"
i'm currently looking for a project and would like to volunteer myself to investigate this tropical disaster. all i humbly ask is my expenses to be paid as my per diem.
thank you in advance.
So, is it your contention that this supposed ocean acidification is the Fault of Man? That somehow, since it is All Our Fault, that we will be able to stop the process?
Like anything alive today would REMEMBER what they have experienced in their evolutionary history!!
It's not a contention, it's a fact.
Symbiodinium D: Coral's All-Purpose Clade for Coping with Stress
Lien, Y.-T., Nakano, Y., Plathong, S., Fukami, H., Wang, J.-T. and Chen, C.A. 2007. Occurrence of the putatively heat-tolerant Symbiodinium phylotype D in high-latitudinal outlying coral communities. Coral Reefs 26: 35-44.
What was done
The authors examined the symbiont diversity in a scleractinian coral, Oulastrea crispata, throughout its entire latitudinal distribution range in the West Pacific, i.e., from tropical peninsular Thailand (<10°N) to high-latitudinal outlying coral communities in Japan (>35°N), using "polymerase chain reactions (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences of the nuclear large subunit (lsu) of rDNA," while "single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) of PCR products was employed to assess its higher sensitivity for low-abundance PCR products in mixed samples."
What was learned
The results of this enterprise convincingly demonstrated, "for the first time," in the words of the six scientists who conducted the study, "that phylotype D is the dominant Symbiodinium in scleractinian corals throughout tropical reefs and marginal outlying non-reefal coral communities." In addition, they learned that this particular symbiont clade "favors 'marginal habitats' where other symbionts are poorly suited to the stresses, such as irradiance, temperature fluctuations, sedimentation, etc."
What it means
Being a major component of the symbiont repertoire of most scleractinian corals in most places, the apparent near-universal presence of Symbiodinium phylotype D provides, according to Lien et al., "a flexible means for corals to routinely cope [our italics] with environmental heterogeneities and survive the consequences (e.g., recover from coral bleaching)," which suggests that the climate-alarmist claim of the impending demise of the majority of earth's corals in the face of continued global warming may be little more than a fairy tale from the dark side.</p> Reviewed 12 September 2007
"....and that they are powerful enough to change it by simply using different light bulbs."
Cow farts...it's all in the cow farts I tell ya.
"It's not a contention, it's a fact."
Oh really?
To clarify; the critiques of the IPCC report do not address the fact of ocean acidification. The IPCC is more concerned about climate change and global temperature. If the report mentions ocean acidification at all, it's only peripherally.
O.K. Thanks for confirming that you have drank deeply from the Global Warming Kool-Aid.
I look forward to your zotting.
What is a chemical buffer?
Isn't the Great Reef something like 500,000 years old.
I read another study that said that farm runoff was responsible for the death of the coral beds.
If you have visited coral reefs over the years you cannot help but notice the deterioration. I have my doubts about the relative vulnerability of reefs to slight temperature or acidity variations. I suspect the combination of nitrogen runoff pollution that creates algae carpets to grow over the reefs and overfishing of the species that normally keep algae at bay is the major factor. Coral reefs need nutrient-poor seas or they get outcompeted by algae. We need to stop dumping fertilizer into the oceans.
You can start by using the 300 acres of old coral reef in my back yard, at 4,000' elevation.
Corals are some of the oldest critters still around, despite multi-hundred foot fluctuations of sea level; several degrees fluctuation up & down of sea temperatures, and MUCH HIGHER CO^2 concentrations during some eras.
Not only do the enviroes try to maintain that our climate is "optimum" and should be stabilized; they say the same about cliff erosion, beach formation; barrier islands, and every other aspect of nature that is in a constant state of flux and change.
They are worshipers of Darwinian evolution, but expect it to stop, now that it has reached the highest state of creation: THEM, and their pet areas.
Some of us Freepers have saltwater aquariums with coral in our homes. We know how difficult it can be to provide the right conditions for their health and growth.
Algae is the one thing that almost destroyed my corals and it has been a constant battle. Keeping a nutrient-poor environment for the corals is rather difficult, when you are also trying to maintain a healthy fish population.
Salt is a chemical buffer, so minor variations of acidity is not possible with seawater.
Locally man made ocean acidification is possible but if you consider the amount of ocean water (about 3.612 x 10²º gallons of sea water in the ocean)then I am no scientist but I strongly suspect the amount of man made carbon dioxide needed to change the ocean is way above what is currently being produced.
There should be a chemist on Free Republic who can do the calculations.
What is lime? Is that not the deposits from an ocean?
Amazing how lime will neutralize acidity.
Someone needs to review their high school chemistry.
Please review "buffers" and "weak acids"
"So how exactly do we save the coral reefs from the natural cycle of warming that follows the previous cycle of cooling? What is their plan to stop the Earth from recovering from the last Ice Age?
How arrogant to think that in the four billion year history of this planet, with its wide range of high and low temperatures, the Earths natural, optimal temperature just happens to be the one theyre experiencing right now...and that they are powerful enough to change it by simply using different light bulbs."
Ding ! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
Your post is right on! Excellent points!
They survived the last global warming "crises" didn't they?
Wow, that video is amazing!
So you can actually mine the coral deposits? Are any hard enough to be the kind that they are decrying a loss in the Jewelry industry? The colors that can be polished up?
SD as in South Dakota, Yes? Guess the Indians got the coral from somewhere other than the South Pacific. Sounds like you have some interesting resources. Enjoy!
No. The Oceans are saturated and always have been.
It is rather well done. Share this with as many people as you can. We've got to enlighten people who are being constantly propagandized by the media. Global warming/climate change is a complete scam with no scientific basis! It is being used by politicians and UN bureaucrats to fill their coffers with our money.
In a buffered system, the constituents of the system respond to changes in pH induced by addition of acid or base by altering their concentration to establish new equilibrium concentrations which result in only a small change in pH.
(Off the top of my head.)
Increased pH makes calcification more difficult for calcareous organisms.
Now, can you explain how a very weak acid will react in a buffered solution?
With my own personal coral reef, I must measure the quality of the water on a daily basis. For example, as the water evaporates, the salinity will increase. The pH of the saltwater is one thing that I never worry about.
In my living room, I have a two aquariums.
One is 90 gallons, and the other is 55 gallons. In the basement, I have another 300 gallons of saltwater that is constantly being circulated to the aquariums in my living room.
Maintaining a healthy fish population, while keeping my corals alive, has always been a challenge.
But have I ever worried about a change in pH, because of the CO2 from my breathing? You have got to be joking!
The pH of my saltwater aquariums is the one thing that does not change.
In this book Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, S. Fred Singer notes that the corals have a technique to survive climate change. They 'bleach'. That is, they eject their current algae buddies, and then accept a different algae species more suited to the changed temperature. The bleached state is short lived.
Considering how the corals survived the warm of the dinosaur periods and the various Ice Ages, they must be tougher than they appear to these scientists.
My guess is that any given coral colony might not survive a change in temp or sea level, but their offspring will simply colonize other more suitable spots. Since the sea level has risen 400 feet since the ice age, none of the current coral sites can be over 10,000 years old anyway, since coral doesn't grow too far below the surface.
When hurricane Wilma sat over Cozumel for almost a week, everything was destroyed. My wife and I went diving there the following month.
All the the coral was covered with sand. Nothing was the same, and we feared that this coral reef had been destroyed.
Instead, everything was healthy, and if anything, this hurricane improved the conditions of life on the coral reef. The coral was nice and healthy, and we observed more "baby" fish than we had ever seen before.
Nature is absolutely amazing, if you simply stop and watch how it actually operates.
Cousteau took to complaining about the quality of the favorite SCUBA diving areas before he retired. Water murky, sea life dead and gone. Long before Global Warming.
I suggest immediate eradication of marine vertebrates and invertebrates.
The important change is to the pH of the surface ocean waters (down to about 200 meters or so); this is a lot less volume than that of the entire ocean.
You could peruse this:
Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coral Reefs and Other Marine Calcifiers
If you're talking about natural changes, the time rate of change is a very important factor. Organisms can and do adapt, up to a point; it is more difficult for organisms to adapt to rapid change than slow change.
Rapid climate change is more difficult to adapt to than slow climate change. The current climate trends are quite rapid.

EU demands Apple pay Ireland up to 13 billion euros in tax
By Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators ordered Apple on Tuesday to pay up to 13 billion euros ($14.5 billion) in taxes plus interest to the Irish government after ruling that a special scheme to route profits through Ireland was illegal state aid. The massive sum, 40 times bigger than the previous known demand by the European Commission to a company in such a case, could be reduced, the EU executive said in a statement, if other countries sought more tax themselves from the U.S. tech giant. Apple, which with Ireland said it will appeal the decision, paid tax rates on European profits on sales of its iPhone and other devices and services of between just 0.005 percent in 2014 and 1 percent in 2003, the Commission said.

An exquisite, sensual portrait. The direct eye contact with the viewer is the key to this image, as well as the shallow depth of field that draws ones eyes to her eyes! Excellent execution! Great soft lighting as well. Saju's expression in this image is wonderful as well, one wants to know what she is thinking, how she feels when posing nude. While the image in not what I would call original by any means, the photographer and the model have put together all the important components to make this a highly successful image! Great job to both of you!

"We used this for our son's Groom's Dinner Invitation to let the wedding party and others involved in the wedding to know the date and time of both the wedding rehearsal and the Groom's dinner. Everyone commented on the nice invitation card sent. We used the shimmer paper and a red color for their names which was real striking with the black text. We choose to keep the card rectangle shaped...it looked real classy."
"This card had the primary colors of the wedding so it was perfect for the Rehearsal Dinner. When I put in the location on the form I capitalized it. I had the designer look the card over before printing and she changed it so it matched the rest of the design. That was very helpful as I had overlooked that completely! I am very pleased with the quality of the card stock used and would order this again, if I had any more children getting married!! My order was delivered before the stated delivery date which made me very happy, and it was packaged nicely."
"As always the quality of this rehearsal dinner invite is great. It is the perfect size and design for the occasion and everyone that received it, loved it! Aside from adding my own event details, I didn't change a thing which made the process very easy."
"We used this invitation for our rehearsal dinner and it came out great. The invitation was elegant yet simple and the quality was beautiful. I highly recommend it."
"I changed the color of the paper to go with the overall themeof the wedding. I changed the shape of the card whichI thought made it look different. I spoke withsomeone on the phone throughout my entire order process since I had some trouble with my internet browser. she stayed on the phone withme until my entire order was complete. I can't say enough about this personalized service. I ordered at the last minute and was able to get my order in 3 days."

Game Info
GAME NAME: Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor
DEVELOPER(S): From Software
PUBLISHER(S): Capcom
PLATFORM(S): Xbox 360
RELEASE DATE(S): 22 June 2012
Picture a game that is comprised of military based vehicular combat, cockpit driven Vertical Tank battles and swift, precise motion controls. Sounds like a pretty awesome game right? If only. Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is based on a brilliant principle however this Kinect-based title fails dismally in its execution.
You take on the role of Sergeant Winfield Powers, a military veteran and one of the most experienced Vertical Tank operators available. Sergeant Powers and his team are tasked with bringing down 'Uncle', which is basically an oriental United Nations run by mad scientists with a vendetta against America.
Your analog sticks and trigger buttons are the only inputs used on your controller while the rest of your actions are performed with hand motions, predominantly from a seated position. Occasionally you will need to stand up to look around outside your tank for various reasons, mainly to remind yourself just how frustrating the motion controls really are. The in-tank motion controls consist of you frantically swiping and pulling levers which more often than not don't respond in the way you intended.
Your vehicle is tediously slow, which forces you to spam the run action – more often than not at the expense of your shooting accuracy. This ultimately makes you a ridiculously easy target for your enemies which have the AI and battle mentality of anything ranging from a beached whale to a Gummy Bear on acid. Trial and error is beyond an understatement which just adds to the already frustrating control scheme. Deep into the game you eventually manage to (on occasion) 'master' the motion controls however there is so much to do in order to manage your tank that dodging an enemy attack becomes an afterthought rather than an initial instinct of survival.
The difficulty doesn't steadily progress as you would expect from any rational game. You will find that one mission is ridiculously basic while the next is nearly impossible to complete unless you are willing to try time after time and endure what seems like unless aggravation. The level map, while at times a little unclear, is your saving grace as the mission objectives are often pathetically vague. Even so chances are good you'll have to simply memories the layout and venture forth hoping that you end up in the right place at the right time.
The visuals in Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor aren't horrible but at the same time they do feel dated by current standards and don't do much to add to the atmosphere. The voice acting is average at best and some of the characters seem to be added purely to irritate the hell out of you. The overall experience is sluggish, frustrating and not worth a first playthrough, let alone a second. All this is a pity as the concept behind the game is really solid. The practical application is poorly planned and even more poorly executed. This title will leave traditional gamers frustrated and recreational gamers stumped. All in all Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is a horrendous experience.

On February 8, 2008, I completed each requirement with hopes of receiving the funds the next business day. (Western Union Transaction number: 560-427-8872)To my dismay, Mrs. Hill called me and stated that the "lender" wanted me to send in a fee in the amount of $767 dollars!! She told me they checked my credit (I was told they don't perform credit checks) and now the "lender" wants more money before they can issue the loan. I told Mrs. Hill that I will not send anymore money and that I want the security deposit of $985 rewarded back to me. She told me it would take 2 weeks before I can get my money back!!
I don't believe Mrs. Hill due to inconsistency of discussions she and I have had over the past two weeks. I totally blame myself for being ignorant, but I don'want this organization to do this to someone else. PLEASE HELP!!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Trash, flattened tents and the stench of urine are now the legacy of Occupy Los Angeles protesters who were chased out of their City Hall park encampment early Wednesday.
City crews installed chain link fence and concrete barricades around the park at dawn, six hours after 1,400 police officers swarmed the Occupy bivouac.
The once-lush lawns are now patches of dirt strewn with tons of debris, including clothing, tents, bedding shoes, trash and two months of human flotsam. Under a tree is a guitar, a bullhorn, CDs and a black bandanna.
Plywood panels erected to protect statues were sprayed with graffiti, including the words, "It smells like change."
Early Wednesday, it smelled like pee.
Police officers in white hazardous materials suits prowled the park for personal belongs so they can be stored for retrieval by protesters. Skip loaders were to be used to scoop up the mess.
Cmdr. Andrew Smith said much of the debris is contaminated with urine and feces, and there are concerns about bacteria.
The commander said it will take weeks to rehabilitate the park.

Israel Air Force chief, Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel

The control of Syria's unconventional Chemical and Biological weapons of mass destruction are of vital concern in a troubled Middle East should the Assad regime fall to Sunni supremacist opposition forces . An Algemeiner article on this threat had a comment by former Israeli Mossad director, Danny Yatom:
The forthcoming January 2013 New English Review will feature an interview with Dr. Jill Bellamy van Aalst; CEO of Warfare Technology Analytics on the dangers of Syrian bio-warfare Complex should the Assad regime fall. Dr. Bellamy van Aalst advises private business as well as government clients on biological warfare and bio-defense within the EU. She gave this assessment of the danger of Syria's bio-warfare to Israel and the Jewish state's reaction that parallels IAF chief, Maj. Gen Eshel's Israel Hayom comments:

Caveat qui desiderat.
Perhaps, one day, Israel will succumb to a C/N/B attack from her neighbors.
Were that to occur, and with nothing to lose, how many nuclear armed Israeli aircrew already have Latitude 21D26M North, Longitude 39D49M East tattooed in their thoughts?
There will be no celebratory ululating or handing out of sweets this time. Not in Gaza or anywhere else on G-D's formerly green earth.

Montpellier reported on their website that Yanga-Mbiwa is currently on Tyneside to undergo a medical with a view to completing a deal worth in the region of £7million, while a statement from Nancy has revealed they have agreed a fee for Haidara's switch to the Magpies.
The deals end a series of near-misses for under-pressure Pardew, with long-time target Loic Remy resisting a move last week and choosing instead to commit to QPR.
Yanga-Mbiwa told Montpellier's official website: "This (England) is a country where everybody loves football and I really want to experience this culture. It is one of the things you want to discover as a player.
"I feel I have given everything to the maximum while at Montpellier. They have been like my second family and have given me everything. There were hard times and good times but there is a very strong bond that unites us."

Quick GuideHeartburn Causes, Symptoms, Remedies, and Treatments
What are the symptoms of uncomplicated GERD?
The symptoms of uncomplicated GERD are primarily:
- heartburn (sometimes interpreted as chest pain),
- regurgitation, and
- nausea.
Other symptoms occur when there are complications of GERD and will be discussed with the complications.
When acid refluxes back into the esophagus in patients with GERD, nerve fibers in the esophagus are stimulated. This nerve stimulation results most commonly in heartburn, the pain that is characteristic of GERD. Heartburn usually is described as a burning pain in the middle of the chest. It may start high in the abdomen or may extend up into the neck. In some patients, however, the pain may be sharp or pressure-like, rather than burning. Such pain can mimic heart pain (angina). In other patients, the pain may extend to the back.
Since acid reflux is more common after meals, heartburn is more common after meals. Heartburn is also more common when individuals lie down because without the effects of gravity, reflux occurs more easily, and acid is returned to the stomach more slowly. Many patients with GERD are awakened from sleep by heartburn.
Episodes of heartburn tend to happen periodically. This means that the episodes are more frequent or severe for a period of several weeks or months, and then become less frequent or severe or even absent for several weeks or months. This periodicity of symptoms provides the rationale for intermittent treatment in patients with GERD who do not have esophagitis. Nevertheless, heartburn is a life-long problem, and it almost always returns.
Regurgitation is the appearance of refluxed liquid in the mouth. In most patients with GERD, usually only small quantities of liquid reach the esophagus, and the liquid remains in the lower esophagus. Occasionally in some patients with GERD, larger quantities of liquid, sometimes containing food, are refluxed and reach the upper esophagus.
At the upper end of the esophagus is the upper esophageal sphincter (UES). The UES is a circular ring of muscle that is very similar in its actions to the LES. That is, the UES prevents esophageal contents from backing up into the throat. When small amounts of refluxed liquid and/or foods get past the UES and enter the throat, there may be an acid taste in the mouth. If larger quantities breach the UES, patients may suddenly find their mouths filled with the liquid or food. What's more, frequent or prolonged regurgitation can lead to acid-induced erosions of the teeth.
Nausea is uncommon in GERD. In some patients, however, it may be frequent or severe and may result in vomiting. In fact, in patients with unexplained nausea and/or vomiting, GERD is one of the first conditions to be considered. It is not clear why some patients with GERD develop mainly heartburn and others develop mainly nausea.

I've been adding posts and inserting images from computer with no problems. But now it won't display the image on the front end. I can insert an image into the draft, but all I see is a white box where the image should be. Previously - I could see the actual image in the draft. And no image displays on the front end. Also, if I link to an image, it will only display on the front end Large, even when I try to reduce the size in edit. Using jpeg image.
Forgot to say, I added a plugin today for adsense - but I couldn't get it to work so de-installed it and deleted it, thinking this may have caused the problem.
Any ideas please?

Ordered a tree and when it was not shipping I call to see why. Was told it was out of stock even though I have a order confirmation number. I asked why I had not been called and the service rep indicated they did not make those calls. Ask how long it would take to verify the status of the order and was told it could take 48 hours. Tree was never in stock.........
No effort at all to resolve the issue without my attempts to do so.....I have repeatedly asked that the card charged be credited since they charge card knowing of the out of stock item. We are now into week two with no response on the credit from them.
Stay away from this company.

How do I use the lightbox inline content option? I have the shortcode in place and my content is wrapped in a div with the id in place but when you click on the button it just pulls up a blank page.
How do I use the lightbox inline content option? I have the shortcode in place and my content is wrapped in a div with the id in place but when you click on the button it just pulls up a blank page.
For this purpose you can use Easy Fancybox
Enable inline content Media > Fancybox setting
And wrap it in a div, you can also use a Shortcodes Ultimate button to open it.
Unless I'm missing something key, it is not "intuitive" to get lightboxes to work.
Here's an example of my solution:
Put this in your content:
[lightbox type="inline" src=".gift-box"]
Click Here For Your Lightbox
[/lightbox]

 This is what will pop up in the lightbox

add this to your theme .css file:
.gift-box {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border: 2px solid #CCCCCC;
border-radius: 5px;
height: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 25px;
position: relative;
width: 50%;
.gift-box {
display: none;
.mfp-content .gift-box {
display: block;
.su-lightbox > h2:hover {
cursor: pointer;
opacity: .6;
Update (more efficient method): used by me at http://qbservices.net
Yeah, this lightbox deal was bugging me. I need to place several inline html chunks in lightboxes on the same page. No documentation on this really. Thanks AJD for your stepping stone, however your solution is a little inefficient. This would mean you have to add CSS to your theme file for every new div you want to turn into a lightbox. That is messy and scary, if you were ever to mess up your CSS file.
I did some tinkering and came up with a way to only edit the CSS of the plugin once.
Here's what you do:
1. Navigate to /wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/assets/css/magnific-popup.css
2. Go to line 53, which should look like this:
.mfp-inline-holder .mfp-content, .mfp-ajax-holder .mfp-content {
width: 100%;
cursor: auto; }
and change it to look like this:
.mfp-inline-holder .mfp-content, .mfp-ajax-holder .mfp-content {
width: 50%;
background: #fff;
padding: 25px;
border-radius: 25px;
cursor: auto; }
3. That's it, now a special note when you are creating the code for the post with inline. It will look like this:
[su_lightbox type="inline" src=".church"]here is the button[/su_lightbox]

this is the inline content
-"church" is the made up identifier that the lightbox calls. With this method, you just make a unique identifier for each inline lightbox on the page.
-Each lightbox div will also use class "mfp-hide"
-mfp-hide is a class that I found already resident in magnific-popup.css
I played around and found that when you use it, it force-hides the div on the page, but allows it to change to "display: block;" when it opens the lightbox. I tested it and it is great now! I can put the six seperate page popups in!
YAY! Do this change and use the two classes, and it will work every time without further CSS creations...
Of course, buttons work best, instead of regular text, because then it is obvious you must press it.
Keep in mind, if you update the plugin, it will probably overwrite this.
Suggestion: keep the css code somewhere saved to redo the change, or ask the author to incorporate it.
This topic has been closed to new replies.
