Migration in birds is an extraordinary phenomenon--what drives them to fly thousands of miles over inhospitable territory twice every year? The dangers they face in the journey are endless--from predators to bad weather to getting lost.
A long-standing mystery in ornithology revolves around the origins of migration: did birds in the tropics begin by heading north or did birds in the north start to head south? Using computer models combined with genetic data on the evolutionary relationships of a large group of songbirds to look backwards through the evolution, Field Museum graduate student Ben Winger and colleagues found that the north-to-south theory was the more likely scenario.
The birds they based their study on are the nine-primaried oscines, a fancy name for the group of songbirds that includes many familiar ones including blackbirds, orioles, sparrows, thrushes, and warblers like the Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) pictured here.
The paper was published online yesterday--you can find a blog post about the study on the National Geographic website here:

Title: Migration Breadth List
Theme: Nature
Element: Shape- Butterfly/Flower
Principle: Unity: Orange on the butterfly and orange on the flower
Camera Settings: Aperture created depth in the photo
Photoshop: Curves- made the background darker to highlight the butterflies
Why do I like it: I like how the colors compliment each other. I like how the pink blurry flowers in the back highlight the pink/purple flowers in focus.

This photo doesn't do Kathy Hinde's work justice; Piano Migrations was a subtle, haunting piece that was in turn beautiful and yet faintly disturbing - it really did look as if the piano was full of living, fluttering birds.
After Sarah Nicolls's Inside Out Piano last year, I guess the challenge for Thomas will be to come up with another work involving a suspended piano in 2012...

After kettling around in circles, vultures will ride hot air flows to start their migration. This was taken from East Sooke Park, the usual launching spot as they head across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The CPT assesses the treatment of foreign nationals detained either upon arrival in a country or subject to a removal order and held in immigration detention centres. It makes recommendations to strengthen the fundamental safeguards surrounding the detention of these persons, to ensure they are provided with appropriate living conditions and adequate healthcare, paying particular attention to persons in vulnerable situations, especially children. The CPT also monitors forced removal operations by air and looks into the practice of informal forced removals ("pushbacks") at land and sea borders.

Am 15.10.2015 soll im Bundestag das „Asylverfahrensbeschleunigungsgesetz“ verabschiedet werden. Bereits einen Tag später soll das Gesetz den Bundesrat passieren und zum 01.11. in Kraft treten. Dies bedeutet eine weitere massive Verschlechterung der Lebensbedingungen von Flüchtlingen in Deutschland:
– Zwangsverbleib von Flüchtlingen aus dem Westbalkan bis zu deren Abschiebung in Erstaufnahmelagern
– Verlängerung der Zwangsunterbringung in Erstaufnahmelagern bis zu 6 Monaten bei gleichzeitigem Arbeitsverbot für alle.
…
– Flüchtlinge aus “sicheren Herkunftsländern” sollen für die gesamte Dauer des Verfahrens in diesen Lagern leben müssen und auch als “Geduldete” nicht arbeiten dürfen.
– Absenkung von Sozialleistungen für Ausreisepflichtige unter das vom Verfassungsgericht definierte menschenwürdige Existenzminimum.
– Generelle Stärkung des sogenannten „Sachleistungsprinzips“
