APRIL 16TH, LONDON - Alberto Brandolini explores some conceptual tools to model and manage transitions involved in a typical agile migration process, and how they could turn useful in our everyday job. See the SkillsCast recording (Film, code, slides) at: bit.ly/10UMKN7
As part of the ILO’s Fair Recruitment Initiative, the EU-funded “Global Action to Improve the Recruitment Framework of Labour Migration”, also known as REFRAME project organized a stakeholder consultation on labour migration and fair recruitment on 31st May, 2018 at the Movenpick Hotel, Colombo
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.

Great Migrations is now available for download on We Should Play!
The idea is fun and simple: Guide different animals as they go on their Great Migrations! Avoid predators and obstacles as you travel across the world!
Here's a screenshot
The Sandhill Cranes are preparing their themselves for the long migration flight southward. We watched as at least a dozen birds flew around at sunset teaching their young colts all they need to know to prepare themselves for migration. The birds flew around and landed just at sunset to roost in the marsh at Wildwing Lake in Kensington Metropark.
I will miss these magnificent birds during the winter and await their return in the spring starting a new circle of life of the Sandhill Cranes of Kensington Metropark.

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...

Arizona is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States, sharing the Four Corners region of the western United States with Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Its other neighboring states are Nevada to the northwest and California to the west. It also shares an international border with the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest. It is the 6th-largest and the 14th-most-populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix, which is the most populous state capital in the United States.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912. Historically part of the territory of Alta California and Nuevo México in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848, where the area became part of the territory of New Mexico. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with extremely hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Sunrise, and Tucson. In addition to the internationally known Grand Canyon National Park, which is one of the world's seven natural wonders, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
Arizona is home to a diverse population. About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the country, with more than 300,000 citizens. Since the 1980s, the proportion of Hispanics has grown significantly owing to migration from Mexico and Central America. A substantial portion of the population are followers of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arizona's population and economy have grown dramatically since the 1950s because of inward migration, and the state is now a major hub of the Sun Belt. Cities such as Phoenix and Tucson have developed large, sprawling suburban areas. Many large companies, such as PetSmart and Circle K, have headquarters in the state, and Arizona is home to major universities, including the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University. The state is known for a history of conservative politicians such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain, though it has become a swing state in recent years.

Navajo Upper Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, on Navajo land east of Lechee, Arizona. It includes six separate, scenic slot canyon sections on the Navajo Reservation, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack), Rattle Snake Canyon, Owl Canyon, Mountain Sheep Canyon, Canyon X and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew). It is the primary attraction of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, along with a hiking trail to Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means 'the place where water runs through the (Slot Canyon) rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. They are accessible by Navajo guided tour only.
