LIFTING THE VEIL OF NUCLEAR CATASTROPHE AND COVER-UP
A Doomsday Scenario Unfolds With Characteristic Foolishness

"Only after the last tree has been cut down..
the last river has been poisoned...
the last fish caught,
only then will you find
that money cannot be eaten."

Thailand's Songkran Festival by Judd Watts
THE CELEBRATION OF WATER......
In Chiang Mai, where Novica's Thailand office is based, the Songkran water frivolities become at their most intense around the towns moat. Several weeks before the festival, the city authorities make a valiant attempt to cleanse the moat of all foulness. They are motivated by the knowledge that many young locals, joined by intrepid young backpackers will be diving into, or being pushed into the murky water.
Kids take to the streets with water pistols and super-soakers, making a dry passage through central Chiang Mai almost impossible. Anyone is fair game, except monks and pregnant women! Watch this video to get a taste of this happy mayhem.

A prolific and widely respected poet, Lucille Clifton's work emphasizes endurance and strength through adversity, focusing particularly on African-American experience and family life. Awarding the prestigious Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize to Clifton in 2007, the judges remarked that “One always feels the looming humaneness around Lucille Clifton’s poems—it is a moral quality that some poets have and some don’t.” In addition to the Ruth Lilly prize, Clifton was the first author to have two books of poetry chosen as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize, Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir, 1969-1980 (1987) and Next: New Poems (1987). Her collection Two-Headed Woman (1980) was also a Pulitzer nominee and won the Juniper Prize from the University of Massachusetts.
Her poem (below) helps me in times like these...in times when WOMANHOOD...is under public attack!
Won't you celebrate with me
won't you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.
—Lucille Clifton
