As a child growing up England, James Reynolds was always excited by thunderstorms. Now, he runs straight towards them as a "storm chaser". Specialising in hurricanes and volcanoes, Reynolds travels the world to shoot pictures of Earth's most extreme weather events. The pictures are used by TV news channels around the world. It's a (danger) job though. He has almost been hit by flying window frames twice in the past 18 (month). However, he says the chase is always worth it for the places he has been to and the brilliant people he has met along the way.
Amateur explorers have found what may have been the last undiscovered island on Earth. The island is round and about three quarters of a mile wide. It sits in the northern Pacific and is a place it's neither too hot nor too cold. It's almost completely flat and rocky. The island's only distinguishing feature is a slight hill on the eastern side. After spotting the hidden piece of land in first looked like an e-map fault, the group of friends (set) out in a boat to confirm what they'd found. They're now running an online contest to name the island.
Poetry is a beautiful art form. Its power lies in the ability to transform ordinary experiences by capturing (捕捉) a moment or emotion. (write) poetry is a privilege and struggle, in part because we need to create in (we) a new way of observing the world, capturing microscopic moments as materials for our work. Most of our time at the desk (spend) wrestling with our imagination, and we know that a successful poem arrives on the back of failure. There are moments when an idea will not translate onto paper. Yet, failure is good, because every (abandon) line we painstakingly remove prepares us for the ripe poem around the corner.
