This is a fiber piece I made last year on the migration patterns of birds. It's hard to see all the stitched latitude and longitude lines... hopefully I'll get a better pic of it up soon.

"Migrations"
One of the world's incredible wonder when birds migrate in the thousands literally over thousands of miles from their winter home to their summer breeding grounds.
The Delaware and New Jersey shorelines hosts these migrating shorebirds by serving them Horseshoe Crab Caviar on their beaches.
Amazing, the Horseshoe crab is like the Shark where their original life form is the same as when it was created. Woe is the crab that gets turned over as he is unable to flip himself back upright on his own.
I saved over 100 crabs today by flipping them over and heading them in the direction of the water.

On the occasion of the International Labour Day this year (1 May 204), Saphan Siang Youth Ambassador Kanokwan Mungkalasawat (Fai) and Boonnian Na Thalang (Mai) assisted their host organisation, Map Foundation, in organising a three-day event titled "May Day Migrant Labour Conference: Proper Social Welfare for Work" in Chiang Mai , Thailand.
They joined hundreds of migrant workers and their supporters in the march to the provincial hall. A statement was made to the governor, outlining the need to ratify the ILO Convention 87 and 98, along with other demands for rights protection: revoking repatriation funds, ensuring minimum wage, and providing equal rights to migrant workers.

One of the fundamental responsibilities of higher education is to provide open and equal opportunities for students to learn, succeed, and positively contribute to their local, national, and global societies. Great strides are being made in increasing educational access, retention completion, and success, yet there is still work to be done particularly for students from disadvantaged or marginalized groups. Unprecedented shifts in migration patterns are causing demographic changes around the world. Additionally, governments, societies, and higher education institutions are increasingly recognizing the need and responsibility to create legal and institutional frameworks for providing more and better opportunities for people from historically marginalized groups to gain access and achieve success at the university level.
From South Africa’s “Historically Disadvantaged Institutions,” to Brazil’s “Law of Social Quotas,” and a long tradition of “Minority Serving Institutions” in the United States, just to name a few, higher education institutions committed to providing educational opportunities for local communities marginalized along ethnic, racial, religious or other lines can be found on every continent. What’s more, in light of shifting demographics and the growing focus on educational opportunity and access, increasing numbers of colleges and universities will be serving students from marginalized groups. For too long, institutions serving students at the margins have operated in a vacuum, failing to collaborate across institutional types and across nations. This Salzburg session will bring together leaders from institutions serving marginalized populations with policy makers and researchers to develop a platform for finding solutions to these institutions’ common challenges and capitalizing on their strengths.
This program is being designed and implemented in partnership with the recently launched Center for Minority Serving Institutions at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education and with Educational Testing Service. From 2010 to 2012, Salzburg Global and Educational Testing Service collaborated on a series of sessions on “Optimizing Talent: Closing Educational and Social Mobility Gaps Worldwide.”

14 March 2022, Pozdišovce, Slovakia: Slovakia-born pastor Rev. Drahus Oslik and one of many volunteers engaged in supporting incoming refugees from Ukraine prepare supplies in a storage room at the Pozdišovce congregation, for transport to the border crossing at Vyšné Nemecké. Pozdišovce is the closest to the Ukrainian border of all the Lutheran congregations in Slovakia, and so the church here plays a key role in supporting incoming refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine into Slovakia. Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, close to 200,000 Ukrainians have come to seek refuge in Slovakia. The Lutheran church is taking a leading role in hosting and providing support to incoming refugees, both immediately at the border, and medium to long-term by arranging accommodation and shelter, providing food and other support needed.

Oslo is the capital and most populous city of Norway. It constitutes both a county and a municipality. During the Viking Age the area was part of Viken, the northernmost Danish province. Oslo was founded as a city at the end of the Viking Age in the year 1040 under the name Ánslo, and established as a kaupstad or trading place in 1048 by Harald Hardrada. The city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V of Norway around 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 reduced its influence. After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, during the reign of King Christian IV, a new city was built closer to Akershus Fortress and named Christiania in the king's honour. It was established as a municipality (formannskapsdistrikt) on 1 January 1838. The city functioned as the capital of Norway during the 1814–1905 union between Sweden and Norway. From 1877, the city's name was spelled Kristiania in government usage, a spelling that was adopted by the municipal authorities only in 1897. In 1925 the city, after incorporating the village retaining its former name, was renamed Oslo. In 1948 Oslo merged with Aker, a municipality which surrounded the capital and which was 27 times larger, thus creating the modern, vastly enlarged Oslo municipality.
Oslo is the economic and governmental centre of Norway. The city is also a hub of Norwegian trade, banking, industry and shipping. It is an important centre for maritime industries and maritime trade in Europe. The city is home to many companies within the maritime sector, some of which are among the world's largest shipping companies, shipbrokers and maritime insurance brokers. Oslo is a pilot city of the Council of Europe and the European Commission intercultural cities programme.
Oslo is considered a global city and was ranked "Beta World City" in studies carried out by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network in 2008. It was ranked number one in terms of quality of life among European large cities in the European Cities of the Future 2012 report by fDi magazine. A survey conducted by ECA International in 2011 placed Oslo as the second most expensive city in the world for living expenses after Tokyo. In 2013 Oslo tied with the Australian city of Melbourne as the fourth most expensive city in the world, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)'s Worldwide Cost of Living study. Oslo was ranked as the 24th most liveable city in the world by Monocle magazine.
As of 27 February 2020, the municipality of Oslo had a population of 693,491, while the population of the city's urban area of 4 November 2019 was 1,019,513. The metropolitan area had an estimated population of 1.71 million. The population was increasing at record rates during the early 2000s, making it the fastest growing major city in Europe at the time. This growth stems for the most part from international immigration and related high birth rates, but also from intra-national migration. The immigrant population in the city is growing somewhat faster than the Norwegian population, and in the city proper this is now more than 25% of the total population if immigrant parents are included.

Frogner Park (Norwegian: Frognerparken) is a public park located in the borough of Frogner in Oslo, Norway, and is historically part of Frogner Manor. The manor house is located in the south of the park, and houses the Oslo City Museum. Both the park, the entire borough of Frogner as well as Frognerseteren derive their names from Frogner Manor.
Frogner Park contains, in its present centre, the Vigeland installation (Norwegian: Vigelandsanlegget; originally called the Tørtberg installation), a permanent sculpture installation created by Gustav Vigeland between 1924 and 1943. Although sometimes referred to in English as the "Vigeland (Sculpture) Park," the Vigeland installation is not a separate park, but the name of the sculptures within Frogner Park. The sculpture park consists of sculptures as well as larger structures such as bridges and fountains.
The park of Frogner Manor was historically smaller and centered on the manor house, and was landscaped as a baroque park in the 18th century by its owner, the noted military officer Hans Jacob Scheel. It was landscaped as a romantic park in the 19th century by then-owner, German-born industrialist Benjamin Wegner. Large parts of the estate were sold to give room for city expansion in the 19th century, and the remaining estate was bought by Christiania municipality in 1896 and made into a public park. It was the site of the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition, and Vigeland's sculpture arrangement was constructed from the 1920s. In addition to the sculpture park, the manor house and a nearby pavilion, the park also contains Frognerbadet (the Frogner Baths) and Frogner Stadium. The Frogner Pond is found in the centre of the park.
Frogner Park is the largest park in the city and covers 45 hectares; the sculpture installation is the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist. Frogner Park is the most popular tourist attraction of Norway, with between 1 and 2 million visitors each year, and is open to the public at all times. Frogner Park and the Vigeland installation (Norwegian: Frognerparken og Vigelandsanlegget) was protected under the Heritage Act on 13 February 2009 as the first park in Norway.

Sculpture park in the Frogner Park with more than 200 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943) in bronze, granite and cast iron, including The Angry Boy (Sinnataggen in Norwegian), The Monolith (Monolitten) and The Wheel of Life (Livshjulet).
Vigeland was also responsible for the design and architectural outline of the park, which is one of Norway's top tourist attractions, with more than one million annual visitors.
The park is free to enter and open all year round, 24 hours a day.

Praia, November 18, 2010 – A deeply-rooted tradition of emigration to achieve personal and social success is appearing to be less marked in Cape Verde, according to IOM's latest migration profile on this West African nation.
The profile shows that despite major gaps and weaknesses in data collection, there has been a steady decrease in emigration from Cape Verde since the 1970's.
Currently, only estimates exist on the Cape Verdian diaspora with figures ranging between just under 200,000 to just over 518,000. The USA and Portugal are among the most popular destination countries.
Despite these relatively small figures, Cape Verde ranks among the countries with the highest emigration rates relative to the size of its population – 25 per cent. Although more than three quarters of all its emigrants are low or medium skilled, Cape Verde does lose a high percentage of its highly skilled – nearly 70 per cent go abroad to OECD countries.
Nevertheless, the Cape Verdian diaspora remitted 10.4 billion escudos (USD 124 million) in 2008.
The emigration drop has, however, coincided with an increase in immigration in recent decades. Cape Verde's immigrant population rose by 20 per cent between 1991 and 2005.
The IOM migration profile reveals that 82 per cent of all immigrants come from other Portuguese-speaking African countries and from Portugal. Nevertheless, China, Nigeria and Senegal appear among the list of main countries of origin.
Indicators point to a connection between economic development and immigration, mainly due to the role immigrant labour plays in the tourism and construction sectors as well as in retail and wholesale business, whether formally or informally.
Cape Verde is also an attractive destination for qualified workers with specialists in intellectual and scientific professions representing the second largest category of migrant labour.
Looking ahead, the profile, funded by the EU, Switzerland and Belgium, highlights that a reduced capacity of the labour market to absorb workers, unemployment that mainly affects the youth, a predicted population increase of 30 per cent by 2020 and an increase in life expectancy can again push more Cape Verdians to migrate.

Jacob Armstead Lawrence (1917-2000) was an American painter known for his portrayal of African-American historical subjects and contemporary life. Lawrence is among the best known twentieth-century African-American painters. He brought the African-American experience to life using blacks and browns juxtaposed with vivid colors.
Lawrence's 1941 painting, 'Migration of the Negro", was one of ten paintings commissioned by photographer Walker Evans for an article entitled "In the Heart of the Black Belt". It portrays the Great Migration of nearly two million Black Americans in search of a better life during the period encompassed by World War I and World War II. Fleeing an abusive sharecropper farming system, racial terrorism, and Jim Crow segregation in the South, Black Americans moved to urban centers in the Midwest, Northeast and West in search of higher-paying jobs.
