First grade has been using their computer class to make stop-motion animation films about community workers. First, each table group was assigned a different community worker: fire fighters, police officers, construction workers, train workers, or airline workers. The students used the computer to draw a backdrop in front of which their animation would be filmed. After story-boarding three different ways the community workers helps in the community, the students collaborated to create stop-motion films. Learn how these community workers do their jobs and help us in the process.

A foreman actually drove by and harassed us for taking pictures. He said we should have asked permission because it is "not allowed." Rock solid logic.
one of my co-workers recently told me that one of the best things about Basel was how quickly one could get "to nature."
On one hand, this is true: the babbling brook, the deciduous forest and the pleasant green are all touchstones of a sort of wilderness.... yet, nearly everything in this photo has been carefully constructed by man. This canal runs in an unapologetically straight line from somewhere in germany to the shore of the Rhine in Basel, vanishing in perspective. The thick forest frames an iron bridge and the vast Novartis campus beyond.... The slight rise in the landscape (best seen on the left side) represents the overflow channel, so when this shallow canal rises, it doesn't flow out into the surrounding suburban area.
Though everything in this photograph has been carefully constructed (for some waterflow engineering aim, no doubt) the overall effect is one of near complete idyllic naturalness... the park and walking paths that flank this canal are as close (if not closer) to nature than any US Metro Park, and I think the fact that that's been integrated into the infrastructure is kind of amazing.
It seems that here in Europe, where buildings hundreds of years old tend to lean and sink into the landscape, there may be a different attitude towards naturalness and artificiality than there is in the US. While we Americans tend to view nature as an unspoilt canvas on which to draw our grids and build our skyscrapers and strip malls, in europe the very act of construction is so ancient that the clear distinction between the natural and the artificial has been dissolved, or perhaps was never there to begin with.
When you enter a building in basel at street level and discover you're already on the third floor, you start to realize that the built enviornment is really the *only* environment... when you see roman ruins 60 feet below the modern street level you realize that there's not much here that *hasn't* been specifically constructed.... and any naive fascination with wilderness as an ideal is somehow flawed....
of course, that said, this little canal is a great example of how a constructed landscape can serve all the beneficial purposes of the natural world, yet function as a part of a greater human "machine"..... sadly I have no photos of the dogs and children splashing around in this plateaued industrial canal, but I feel the contrast between the industrial complex and wrought iron bridge in the background and the seemingly natural landscape fore should provide enough food for thought....

A new cohort of migrant workers is taking over China’s construction sites. Fifteen to 29 year-olds now make up 70 to 80% of the entire floating population. While the older nongmingong (“peasant workers”) retain a nostalgia for the Maoist period, migrant youth have grown up under “capitalism with Chinese characteristics” and their expectations for the future are shaped by the values of the new China. Though today’s youth never knew the state-guaranteed social protections of earlier periods, known as “iron rice bowls”, they are on average better educated than their elders and more able to take advantage of opportunities afforded by the loosening of controls on internal migration. Those of the older generation lack adequate welfare provisions and will most likely never be in a position to retire. By the sheer force of their numbers, migrant youth expected to settle in the cities for the long term will also reshape urban labour markets. The younger migrants are increasingly vocal about their grievances and are regarded by the central government as among those groups with the greatest potential to threaten social stability.
