JAPAN PENSIONERS VOLUNTEER TO TACKLE
NUCLEAR CRISIS
A group of more than 200 Japanese pensioners are
volunteering to tackle the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima
power station.
The Skilled Veterans Corps, as they call themselves, is
made up of retired engineers and other professionals, all
over the age of 60. They say they should be facing the
dangers of radiation, not the young.
It was while watching the television news that Yasuteru
Yamada decided it was time for his generation to stand
up. The retired engineer is reporting back for duty at the
age of 72, and he is organising a team of pensioners to
go with him.
Volunteering to take the place of younger workers at
the power station is not brave, Mr Yamada says, but
logical.
"I am 72 and on average I probably have 13 to 15
years left to live," he says. "Even if I were exposed to
radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to
develop. Therefore us older ones have less chance of
getting cancer."

Mouse Night: One of our games
William Stafford
We heard thunder. Nothing great – on high
ground rain began. Who ran through
that rain? I shrank, a fieldmouse, when
the thunder came – under grass with bombs
of water scything stems. My tremendous
father cowered: “Lions rushing make
that sound,” he said: “we'll be brain-washed
for sure if head-size chunks of water hit us.
Duck and cover! It takes a man
to be a mouse this night,” he said.

As it can be seen, the “music” of a poem is essential part of its meaning. However, this music can be lost if the reader does not pay close attention to the form and to each word of each line. The poet is very careful when he writes his poem, and he uses many different ways to allow the reader to feel the music and understand the meaning of his words. One of the techniques William Stafford used to create this poem was what we called run-on lines, which is:

The Wind
James Stephens
The wind stood up, and gave a shout:
He whistled on his fingers, and
Kicked the withered leaves about,
And thumped the branches with his hand,
And said he'd kill, and kill, and kill:
And so he will! And so he will!

Maues – City of Guarana
Maues is one of the most beautiful cities in the Amazon;
known as the Guarana city, it has beautiful sandy beaches and
holds two famous festivals – Maues Summer Festival and The
Guarana Festival. Its early inhabitants, the Mundurucus and
Maues Indians, used to grow the Guarana fruit, which is the
basis for the well-known Brazilian soft drink.
The word Maues means “talking parrots” and comes
from one of the Indian tribes in the region. Maues has
22,000 inhabitants, with other 20,000 natives scattered over
140 villages along rivers in the region. Maues is located on
the Maues-Açu River and it can be reached 12 Manaus
– 267 km away – by regional boat in 18 hours, by fast boat
in 7 hours or by plane in 1 hour
Maues is an ideal starting point for adventure, including a
visit to the Amana Waterfall, or to old gold mines, caves, and
the jungle – with local Indian guides. Tourists may also visit
the Uraira reserve.
