■Science    View
    ～ Shapeshifting    Neurons ～

The    latest    research    has    revealed

amazing    things    about    brain    cells

that    control    memory    and    personality.

In    some    ways    they    stay    the

same    --   and    that's    how    we    retain

our    identity    --    but    they    can    also

adapt    flexibly    to    new    environments.

■Harumi's    Family    Cooking    in    Shimoda

A    family    will    be    coming    to    see

Harumi    Kurihara    in    her    hometown

of    Shimoda.    She    prepares    healthy

and    tasty    Japanese    dishes,    and

shares    table    etiquette    that    makes

the    whole    meal    more    enjoyable.

■NHK    Documentary
   ～    Black   Rain   -   Fruitless    Data

              on    the    A  -  Bomb    Survivors - ～

Last    year,    a    Japanese    research

organization    made    public    US    information

that    over    13,000    people    in    Japan

were    affected    by    radioactive    black    rain.

The    program    investigates    why    almost

no    one    even    knew    about    this    data

for    so    long.

President    Obama    discusses

Labor    Day    and     reflects    on    the

contributions    of    the    working    men

and    women    in    our    country.

The    President    says    that    by

recommitting    ourselves    to    the    values

of    working    Americans    and    coming

together    with    common    purpose,    we

can    ensure    that    everyone    who    works

hard    has    a    chance    to    get    ahead.
