Tagged with immigration, Theresa May, UK.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has been under pressure to reconsider her stance on including international students in net migration figures, as reports suggesting disunity in the government on the matter have gathered significant attention. This week, a statement was issued to confirm May's position, which is reportedly not shared by all her Cabinet colleagues.
Her official spokesman told a Westminster briefing on Tuesday: "The position of the Prime Minister on this is clear.
May has been under pressure to reconsider her stance on including international students in net migration figures from politicians from across UK parties and is said to be "in a minority of one" by one cabinet minister, amid opposition from cabinet colleagues.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd, Chancellor of the Exchequer Phillip Hammond and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson have all reportedly warned of the potential damage of including students in the official statistics.
Removing students from the figures could help the government reach its long-term target of cutting net migration to under 100,000.
In a letter to Catherine West MP dated November 24th, Immigration Minister Brandon Lewis wrote that including international students in the net migration target did not act to the detriment of either the education sector or students.
"As long as students leave at the end of their studies, they should not be significantly contributing to net migration, therefore there is no conflict between our commitment to reduce net migration and to attract international students," it read.
Labour's official position, set out on its website, says that "[international students] are not permanent residents and we will not include them in immigration numbers, but we will crack down on fake colleges".
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan voiced his position on Twitter.
Leader of the Liberal Democrats Vince Cable, a longtime supporter of not including visiting students in official figures, also took to Twitter to support the proposals to remove students from the count.
"About time. Seven year battle to change absurd Home Office policy. Inflamed worries about immigration numbers. And hit universities," he wrote.
However, Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford told The PIE News that taking students out of government targets or statistics would be much more difficult than it sounds.
"[This is a] source of confusion. Two things that people talk about doing – the question of taking students out of the target or the system," according to Sumption.
She said that the ONS collects data by asking people at airports to determine why they are coming to the UK – an equivalent of which most other countries do not have.
But, Sumption stated that there is known to be a problem with the data, which means that taking students out of official statistics would lead to inaccurate figures.
"What the UK is doing is not out of line with what other countries are doing. [The UK] just has more statistics that other countries do not have," Sumpton added.
Since 2012, university leaders, heads of business and MPs including former universities minister David Willetts, have called for overseas students to be removed from net migration figures.
In 2015, George Osborne, then the Chancellor of the Exchequer hinted that the UK would take non-EU overseas students out of net migration figures.
Osborne rejected proposals made by May, then Home Secretary, to increase English language requirements and restrict dependents' work rights.
Osborne is now the editor of the London Evening Standard, which ran one of the stories quoted by Khan and others, describing the pressure mounting on the prime minister.

Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the EOS-1D Mark III. ISO 500. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop off the grasses: 1/1600 at f/5.6 set manually.
The cranes were definitely the stars of this year's IPT. We worked hard on wing position; the full downstroke (seen here) and the full upstroke (see image next) are my two favorites.
Despite less than ideal conditions, the 2009 Bosque IPT was a huge success. I was joined in Socorro on the evening of November 20 by a great group of eleven photographers plus my three co-leaders, Robert O'Toole, Jim Heupel, and Scott Bourne (who was with us for the first five days). For a detailed report on photographic conditions at Bosque, see the NOV 29th blog post by scrolling down here: www.BIRDSASART-Blog.com. Five of the eleven folks were IPT veterans: Roger and Mary Dillon (a truly happy e-Harmony.com couple!), Ron Hasty, a Bear Boat IPT veteran, George Brunt, a two time Bear Boat participant and star of the close encounter image), and Mike Cornwell (a six time recidivist!). Tor Lund could possibly have been included in that group as he was a hanger on on the Zegrahm's Falklands, South Georgia, Antarctica trip that I made in 2008. First timers included Chuck Deprycker and non -photographer wife Alice (I could not keep from calling her Nancy and finally settled on "Nalice" as a compromise), RVer Chet (The Jet) Williams who to his credit did not miss a beat despite staying away from the group at the Bosque Birdwatchers RV Park), Andrea Sharon who generously purchased the $500 gift certificate that I donated to NANPA for the High School scholarship program, Wray Douglas who made the trek all the way from the UK, and Kevin Watson an ex-patriot Brit who will be joining me this summer on the two week Galapagos Photo-Cruise.
We had lots of great Sandhill Crane flight photography in the mornings and were blessed with north rather than northwest winds every morning. With the wind from the northwest the birds take flight angling away from you; as we say on BPN, BAA = bird angling away. With the winds from the north, or better yet, from the northeast (we had some of that), the cranes take flight angling towards you. And we had some great silhouette chances with the cranes just before and after sunset. Other than the cranes, the opportunities were sparse but relying on my 15 years of Bosque experience we managed to keep most of the sessions interesting even when we were crane-less.
On a personal note, the 7-DAY IPT worked out fabulously well. We had some very nice sunrises although the geese took flight most days well after the peak of pre-dawn color. Though we tired the group out pretty good the pace was much more relaxed than on the old 3-DAY IPTs. The more relaxed pace gave us lots of time for Photoshop sessions and most of the folks in this fairly typical group needed those sessions badly. It always amazes me how folks with good equipment and some pretty good images actually manage to make them worse in Photoshop rather than better. Seeing Kevin Watson's quality JPEGs was an eye-opener for me; he uses Paint Shop Pro to optimize his images. On two particular occasions the group gave up too early in the evening; several folks would drive off and as soon as they were out of sight the action picked up fabulously. One evening a final few hangers-on (most of the group had already left) and I were also guilty of leaving too early. We were trying a new spot and I kept saying, "If those geese take off into the wind they will be right in the color above that ridge." Lacking the courage of my convictions folks nodded when I suggested that we head for dinner. We were packing up when the geese flew in perfect formation through the brightest color above the ridge just as I had predicted. You gotta love it!
See below for information on next year's IPT.
Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the EOS-7D. ISO 500. Evaluative metering +2 2/3 stops: 1/30 sec. at f/16.
I borrowed a 7D and loved it for a variety of applications; creating silhouetted images with it was a big plus. See my initial impressions of the 7D in the NOV 24th blog post by scrolling down here: www.BIRDSASART-Blog.com.
I am proud to announce the 2010 Bosque IPT. Once again, I will be doing only a single Bosque IPT in 2010. Next year will be 16 in a row at Bosque for the Thanksgiving holiday since losing my beloved wife, best friend, and biggest supporter Elaine Belsky Morris to breast cancer in 1994. Now here is some big news: there is an excellent chance that I will not be at Bosque for a single day during November, 2011; I hope to be on the tentatively scheduled month-long trip to the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica with Joe Van Os. If you want to learn Bosque from the best, you are advised not to tarry.
Slide program on the evening of Friday, NOV 19. 7-FULL DAYS: $3199. (Non-refundable deposit: $500; see details below.) Limit: 10. Co-leaders: Robert O'Toole and Jim Heupel. Live, eat, and breathe photography with one of (if not the) world's premier photographic educators at his very favorite locations on the planet. Plus two great co-leaders and tons of Photoshop instruction.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to hold a spot on this IPT. Deposits may be paid by check, PayPal, or credit card. Payment in full (by check or money order only) is due four months before the start of each trip and is non-refundable unless the IPT sells out. You will be required to sign a statement of understanding to this effect. Travel insurance is of course highly recommended. Travel Insurance Services offers a variety of plans and options. Included with the Elite Option or available as an upgrade to the Basic & Plus Options, you can also purchase Cancel for Any Reason Coverage, which expands the list of reasons for your canceling to an infinite list, from a sudden work or family obligation to a simple change of mind. My family and I use and depend on the great policies offered by TIS whenever we travel. You can learn more here: Travel Insurance Services. Do note that many plans require that you purchase your travel insurance within 14 days of our cashing your deposit check of running your credit card. We regret that we must implement this new policy but we have recently been plagued by last minute cancellations that make it impossible for others to participate and deprive us of essential income.
Important note: please print, fill out, and sign the registration and release forms and include them with your deposit check (made out to "Arthur Morris." ) If you use a credit card to register, please fill out, sign, and mail the two forms asap. Your registration will not be complete until we receive your paper work. You can find the forms here: http://www.birdsasart.com/Registration and Release Forms.pdf.
Canon 400mm f/4 IS DO lens handheld with the EOS-1D Mark III. ISO 400. Evaluative metering -1/3 stop: 1/2000 sec. at f/7.1.
With the wind from the north, the birds were flapping away from us. We luck out when it switched briefly to the south. When photographing a flapping duck I hold the hammer down and utilize the close to 10 frames per second capability of the Mark III. You can learn the secret of getting wigeons to flap either by joining next year's Bosque IPT or by getting a copy of our Bosque Site Guide: https://store.birdsasart.com/shop/category.aspx?catid=19. When things are slow on an IPT having a variety of back-up plans (developed over the past 15 years) can add some spice to the mix.
Sixteen visitors joined the IPT group (a total of 32 folks in all) for a great Thanksgiving feast at the Stage Door Grill (http://stagedoorgrill.net/) on the plaza in Socorro. Everyone but me enjoyed huge plates of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce (my absolute favorite), gravy, and mashed potatoes. This was followed by a big piece of either apple or pecan pie. I had some sliced turkey breast with a side of delicious green beans. My reward: my 2 hours post prandial blood sugar was 104.
Our hosts Denise and Terry Eilers let me know that they will be open again next Thanksgiving Day so do plan on being there with us.
Canon 800mm f/5.6 L IS lens with the EOS-1D Mark III. ISO 200. Evaluative metering +1 stop: 1/15 sec. at f/7.1 in Tv Mode.
When creating intentional blurs, it is best to work in Tv Mode for complete control of the blur speed. This is one of the hundreds of great tips in APB II: https://store.birdsasart.com/shop/category.aspx?catid=32. This image was created from a new window that was cut by this year's Open Windows Volunteer Project. As it can only accommodate about a dozen photographers, I will let folks know the exact location in the next update to the Bosque Site Guide: I hope to have it completed by Thursday, DEC 10. It will be e-mailed to the list soon thereafter.
Congratulations to Helen Longest-Saccone and Marty Saccone on the current issue of Nature Photographer magazine that celebrates 20 years of publication. Nature Photographer has strictly been Helen's dream. I was there (though not involved) when it was born and have witnessed the wonderful growth in every area. I have been a loyal advertiser for more years than I can remember, and have done some writing for the magazine as well. The current issue, a double one (Fall/Winter 2009/10) is likely the very best ever (and not just because my article "Arthur Morris' Favorite Lens…" with seven images is featured; it begins on page 74). There are tons of great images and lots of articles that I need to read. Todd Federico's "Grand Canyon in the snow" image (pages 96-97) alone is worth the $8.62 newsstand price if you are lucky enough to find one. Bob and Jorga Feldman's article (10 tips for Better Bird Photography/page 130) runs with four great images three of which were surely taken on a James Shadle (http://www.wildflorida.net/photogjames.aspx) boat trip to Alafia Banks. (That fact is never mentioned in the article so I thought that I would mention it here 🙂 ). Bob and Jorga are IPT veterans so it is great to see them getting their work published. I am anxious to get this to Mail Chimp and in your hands today so there is no time to list all of the great images and articles.
Best would be for each of you to subscribe to Nature Photographer; you can subscribe on-line at www.naturephotographermag.com or by calling 207-733-4201.
Helen's accomplishments over the years in growing the magazine into the respected publication that it is today have been monumental. Congrats and kudos again to both her and Marty.

Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the EOS-7D. ISO 200. Evaluative metering +12/3 stops: 1/30 sec. at f/10 in Tv Mode.
The trick here was to have the bird in the front take off first…. (That to avoid the two birds merging.) Note that I went to a low ISO to keep the background relatively smooth and to reduce any problems with dust spotting (rare in my brief experience with the 7D) while working at a slow shutter speed.

Canon 500mm f/4L IS lens with the EOS-1D Mark III. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 stop: 1/60 sec. at f/6.3 in Tv Mode.
It snowed fiercely early on Sunday morning past and I struggled to find some birds in the predawn. I added one stop of light to my exposure to push the histogram to the right. Above is the optimized image. Below is the image at it looked on the camera's LCD. Many folks would delete an image like this, especially if they were not aware of the amazing potential of digital image files.
After an ACR conversion simple Levels, Curves, and Hue-Saturation adjustments (as detailed in our Digital Basics File: https://store.birdsasart.com/shop/category.aspx?catid=32) transformed the image as I knew that it would. These same capture and processing techniques work well with fog, snow, and other white sky conditions. (Important note: +1 stop on the scene gave the same suggested exposure as +3 stops off the white sky. Do you know why?) To see an image of me covered with snow and another image created that morning, see the DEC 2nd blog post by scrolling down here: www.BIRDSASART-Blog.com.
This intimate and timeless image was created at the Venice Rookery in South Venice, Florida. It is the cover of the original and the reprinted "The Art of Bird Photography" and has thus become the signature image of Artie's career. It was honored with the Grand Prize in Wildlife in the first-ever Nature's Best Photography Contest.
Prints ordered before December 20, 2009 may apply a $50 discount. The prints are in stock; all orders will ship immediately.
We are 100% positive that "Great Blue Herons Courtship" will become a collector's item; thank you for your support of Artie's work.

This image was created at another of my back-up spots. Knowing the feeding schedule I was able to alert the remaining group members (several had departed early) to the coming opportunity. Again, the complete details are in the Bosque Site Guide.
While birding a few years ago during spring migration, I ran into a lady named Sally. We stood on the famous boardwalk at Magee Marsh on the shore of Lake Erie and watched hundreds of warblers move through the trees just above our heads. It was an incredible day there and we didn't move from that spot for 2 hours. We just watched the birds and engaged in friendly conversation. Our talking revealed her history as a freelance writer and my interest in bird photography. With our shared passion for the outdoors and artistic interests, we decided we should someday collaborate on a project combining our talents. That idea came to fruition this summer and we are very proud of and excited to announce our calendar of birds for 2010. Winged Journey: A 16 Month Celebration Of Birds is the title of our work and features Sally's poetry and my bird photography. We have chosen birds from across North America to represent this year and each month contains an image with complimenting verse. In lieu of the traditional legal and religious holidays we have included events that celebrate our connection with the natural world.
Simple things that often go unnoticed, such as full moons, equinoxes and solstices, as well as days honoring wildlife, oceans, and forests are just a few examples of the highlights throughout the month. The calendar is 28 pages and printed on a quality heavyweight matte-finish paper made of 40% recycled material. The design and feel of this calendar is simple, yet elegant. It measures 11×17 when open. We put in a lot of effort to make sure the calendar is not only of the highest quality, but also environmentally friendly. We are also very excited to be supporting the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in Ohio (where Sally and I met) with a portion of our proceeds from the calendar. We look forward to giving them a big check to support the research and educational programs at the Observatory. To learn more about them, please visit www.bsbobird.org. This calendar will make the perfect gift for the nature lover in your family or an excellent holiday gift for anyone you know. To order, please visit our website at www.wingedjourneycalendar.com or feel free to call or email me. They are 14.95 each plus shipping. Be sure to get one for yourself too. Our calendar has a different twist, so if you already have one, you need this one too!

Slide program on the evening of FEB 9. Slide program on the evening of FEB 11. 6-FULL DAYS: $2799. (Non-refundable deposit: $500.) Limit: 10/SOLD OUT. Co-leaders: Tim Grey and Alfred and Fabiola Forns.


You will also have the option of either annotating the novel (a great thing to practice) for a grade or taking quizzes on it. I do have some copies I can lend out, but most students will want to obtain their own copies so they can write in them. You do not have to buy new copies, so feel free to hit up McKay's or thriftbooks.com.

Fields of Astronomy
Even with the success and revelatory power of that image, it was still viewed as a very risky thing of possibly dubious value to commit many more HST orbits and staff time and effort to try a significantly even deeper field. STScI's then-Director Bob Williams convened a panel of community experts who debated whether such a thing should be attempted, and if so, what type of field should be targeted. The idea that something should initially be tried in a generic, nominally empty deep field eventually came to the fore, but it was still seen as a possibly big gamble that might not live up to its potential for the great amount of time required. It took a courageous decision by Williams to go ahead with the project, committing a significant portion of his Director's Discretionary time to the project.
A number of people rightly felt that they already had significant work of their own which needed pursuing and finishing and, when asked if they would be willing to take part in this original HDF experiment, declined. However, there were still some relatively few of us who had been discussing the possibilities of this informally. In my own case, having helped design and set up the SM1 ERO observations of CL0939+4713, I was eventually asked if it was technically feasible for us to even attempt such deep field observations.
In 1998, the Hubble Deep Field-South targeted a quasar with both imaging and spectroscopy, and included many more flanking fields and much deeper parallel observations—all in multiple cameras spanning wavelengths from long UV to infrared, including both the newer Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) instruments, as well as WFPC2. Even today, I think these HDF-South observations have been underutilized, although they have now been targeted by, for example, the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory. This underutilization came as the community gravitated more to observations of another southern-hemisphere field, the Chandra Deep Field-South, which by then had deeper X-ray observations. Hopefully the HDF-South and its Flanking Fields will still be exploited more fully in the future.
Astronauts installed the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in 2002. Under then-Director Steve Beckwith, we designed the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (in the middle of the Chandra Deep Field-South) around use of the ACS and using WFPC2 and NICMOS in parallel, creatively making the pure parallel operational system give us the then-deepest-ever detailed UV and infrared observations.
All of this gives context to the observations which we have just recently finished: the Hubble Frontier Fields. Again convening a panel of community experts, and building on the success of large observing programs such as CLASH and CANDELS, STScI's then-Director Matt Mountain explored a brilliant idea to use the gravitational lensing effect of massive galaxy clusters to magnify galaxies in the early universe beyond them, and to also provide a baseline for searches for higher-redshift supernovae. The plan was to come as close as is possible for Hubble to come to the bread-and-butter observations of the much-anticipated, soon-to-be launched James Webb Space Telescope in searching for some of the earliest galaxies in the distant, early universe.
The panel recommended that a group of six galaxy clusters and six adjacent parallel fields be targeted. That was a very important development, because it also addressed in a major way a phenomenon known as cosmic variance. In this phenomenon, the large-scale structure of the universe affects observations, so that a measurement of any region of sky may differ from a measurement of a different region of sky by a considerable amount. Because the size of the fields of view of Hubble's cameras are roughly the size of a grain of sand held at arm's length, we're talking about deep line-of-sight "pencil beams" in the sky when we talk about these deep fields. With the superb resolution of Hubble's cameras, incredible detail is attained, and we can see thousands of galaxies in unprecedented detail all across their fields of view.
But given what we now know about the larger-scale structure of the universe, when it comes to the matter which we can detect, at least, there are longer filaments and areas where they intersect, and voids in between. Sometimes, the small field of view of a camera may land on a filament of galaxies, and other times in a void between filaments, or partly on a filament and partly off. Therefore, the more deep fields we observe in various different places around the sky, the more we statistically beat down the perhaps unusual or anomalous statistical effects of any one particular local environment in the area of that particular deep field as we attempt to identify the more general nature of the universe across filaments and voids, etc.
A major feature of the Hubble Frontier Fields program is the use of two fields in parallel, on-cluster and off-cluster, for each of the galaxy clusters targeted in the program, giving us both a cluster-centric and a generic parallel field at some much larger distance away from the cluster, for each cluster. So, in effect, we get 12 fields for the price of six. Six on-cluster fields are dominated by each galaxy cluster's environment—something very different from a traditional deep field in terms of the physics and dynamics affecting its galaxies, and also somewhat peculiar to that cluster— and six are off-cluster, parallel fields that contain thousands of field galaxies not particularly in any cluster environment. Given the relatively small angular size of each individual parallel field, this larger number of parallel fields especially helps to minimize the effects of cosmic variance when measurements from all other similar deep fields are combined or considered together.

Teamwork makes the dream work: neurons sync to form memories
Brook Ward | Flickr
Israel Catalan
Forgetting things is common when you live in a fast-paced city like New York, but researchers might have a solution.
At the California Institute of Technology, researchers questioned why memories formed recently are more likely to be forgotten than memories formed years ago.
In the study, a mouse was placed in a maze with marks on the wall with red and green LED lights to encourage it to remember said marks leading it to its treat, sugar water. Previous to the experiment, the mouse had been implanted with a microendoscope, a type of endoscope that uses optical fibers or fibers bundles to obtain microscopic images of tissue which can project better images.
The images showed that clusters of neurons in the hippocampus would group up and work in a synchronized manner when the mouse would look at the marks on the wall repeatedly.
Neurons are a special type of cells whose sole purpose is to transmit information to one another and throughout the body. The hippocampus is a part of the brain that is responsible for memory and emotion.
The researchers stated that individual neurons only store memories for five to 15 days on average, while clusters of neurons synchronized can hold memories for up to 35 days. After 20 days, mice were put back into the maze and some showed signs of recognition.
While not all of their original cluster of neurons were still intact, there were enough neurons to fill in the gaps of the mice's memory. It was concluded that the mouse through repetition had memorized where the sugar water was based on its recognition of the marks on the walls.
The act of repetition created a unified group of neurons which allowed the mouse to remember the location of its treat.
While researchers can not exactly pinpoint where information is stored in neurons, like whether the information is spread past the hippocampus and cortex or if information is "stored at different hierarchical levels," they are able to tell when information is being transmitted.
Diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia can impair the endurance of memories which makes research from Caltech much more valuable.
The mice experiment demonstrated that clusters of neurons will deteriorate over time. If this deterioration is more prominent as humans grow older, it could explain why people forget things quicker as they get older.
This could also explain why children remember things better than adults at times, as explained in an article published by Slate that presents the claim that children do remember aspects of their childhood clearly.
College students trying to learn and study for class could make use of this study by repeating the material over and over again to become proficient.
In an article published by LifeHack, titled "Writing and Remembering: Why We Remember What We Write" the author presents the idea that writing things down is the best way to remember something.
The article explained that the act of writing is similar to a "mini-rehearsal" for our brain which makes it feel as if we're experiencing what we're writing and therefore making it easier to remember.
It is important for college students today to know that repetition is key to remembering something and could prove beneficial for their studies.
With Caltech's research, it is clear that repetition breeds a unification of neurons and helps store information for longer periods of time.
While it is still unclear how much we know about storing memory and the effects diseases like Alzheimer's could have on clusters of neurons, repetition remains the key to keeping your memory strong.

Q: Replace string with same named variable I wrote some days ago a simple thing to fallback to an placeholder image if the desired image can't loaded. It allows the user to use 2 placeholders to to define the image size:
That's the thing I wrote:
;(window.jQuery || window.Zepto).fn.fallback = function (url) {
    return this.one('error', function () {
        this.src = (url|| 'http://lorempixel.com/$w/$h')
        .replace('$w', this.width).replace('$h', this.height);
    });
};

I'm asking me now, if it is possible to replace .replace('$w', this.width).replace('$h', this.height); with an shorter but equal regex to replace all $* (dollar + first-char) with an assigned value from any object?
Something like this:
'$f is not equal to $b'.replace(/magicregex/, {
    foo: 'foo',
    bar: 'bar'
});

So that we can use all properties from the image-object, e.g. image.width, image.src, image.width...

A: Only if you use a function as the replacement. Like:
"$w/$h".replace(/\$[wh]/g, function(m){ return m == "$w" ? width : height; });

You could also do away with the comparison like this:
"$w/$h".replace(/\$(?:(w)|h)/g, function(m, w){ return w ? width : height; });

If you want to look up a value in a hash you could use:
"$w/$h".replace(/\$(\w+)/g, function(m, name){ return hash[name]; });

Home » Why govern your information? Reason #5: Bad information results in bad decisions.
Key attributes of data for business are sometimes referred to as the four Vs: volume, variety, velocity, and veracity. Most folks focus on the first three, but the veracity of data – its integrity, its reliability, its quality – is crucial for business decision-making. In a 2016 survey of executives by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, 80% of respondents admited that their organization used flawed information to make a strategic decision at least once in the last three years. And IBM estimates that poor data quality costs the U.S. economy $3.1 trillion each year.
The IT discipline of data governance (not to be confused with the broader concept of Information Governance) has been practiced for over a decade, focusing on ensuring quality data inputs for better decision-making. And the advent of big data analytics has highlighted the imperative for data quality. Notorious examples of flawed results from big data gone awry? How about the project using social media data to model unemployment trends (tied to relevant terms such as "classifieds" and "jobs") – a seismic spike in unemployment turned out instead to be widespread social media discussion of Steve Jobs' death.
But the significance of information quality is not limited to master data management of structured system data or to big data initiatives. The need for reliable information is more fundamental, pertinent as well to unstructured data in the everyday operation of the organization. In most businesses today, the vast bulk of information is unstructured data, scattered across network and local drives, email repositories, and other largely uncontrolled locations. Truth be told, we're often not sure that what we eventually find is indeed the latest draft, the final document, the official agreement, the up-to-date version … in other words, the right, reliable information.
And where are we in managing the business practices that have resulted in such an unstructured data mess? Many organizations are stuck back in the Medieval Guild days, when each "artisan" followed his or her own local (often secret) rules, or perhaps the Industrial Revolution, with its production output focus similar to today's blunt approaches to unstructured data repository sizes and quotas.
Information quality isn't really about the information itself, no more than time management is about time. Data is simply data, and calling some data "bad" distracts us from the true issue, which is the quality of our business practices in handling data and in using it to make decisions. In other words, information quality is about us, how we manage our creation, retention, and use of information.
Create constancy of purpose for improvement of product and service.
End the practice of awarding business on price tag alone.
Constantly and forever improve the system of production and service.
Institute modern methods of supervision.
Eliminate numerical goals for the work force.
Eliminate work standards and numerical quotas.
Remove barriers that hinder the hourly worker.
Institute a vigorous program of education and training.
Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish the transformation, which is everybody's job.
Making information quality a management priority? Not a bad decision.

The cold ocean La Nina is now weakening, with a shift in power likely facing the ENSO region on the way into Summer and next into Autumn
By: Author Andrej Flis
The important ENSO region in the tropical Pacific ocean is changing again, and that is always a big deal. We are observing a weakening of the cold ENSO phase, the La Nina, with a warming phase strengthening quietly below the ocean surface.
Global oceans are well known to play a major role in the climate and weather around the world. The most powerful seasonal impact comes from the tropical Pacific Ocean, which is now undergoing changes that could have far-reaching impacts in the coming months.
KING OF THE OCEAN
To keep it simple, there is a region in the tropical Pacific ocean called ENSO, which alternates between cold and warm ocean phases. The tropical trade winds (winds that circle the Earth near the equator) usually initiate or stop a certain phase, as they mix the ocean surface waters and alter the ocean currents.
The image below shows all the ENSO / NINO regions. The main regions are 3 and 4 and cover a large part of the tropical Pacific. Most calculations and diagnosis is based on a combination of both the 3 and 4 areas, which is why we call the main region "ENSO 3.4" or "NINO 3.4".
Below we have an image that shows the current ocean temperature anomaly analysis. It reveals where ocean temperatures are warmer/colder than normal. The region of colder than normal waters in the eastern equatorial Pacific is called the ENSO region and is currently in a weak negative (cold) phase. Take note of the cold anomalies developing in the North Pacific, along the west coast of the United States and Canada. We will get to that later.
The peak of this cold ENSO phase was around November 2020. The image below shows the ocean temperature anomaly for mid-November when the cold phase was around its peak. Cold ocean anomalies in the ENSO regions were much stronger and reaching further towards the west. But we can see a major difference in the North Pacific, as it was still warmer than normal at this point.
The cold ENSO phase is called La Nina, while the warm phase has a more famous name, the El Nino. Each ENSO phase has a different influence on the tropical weather and thus impacting the weather worldwide differently.
A specific phase (warm/cold) usually develops around late summer and autumn and can last until the next spring, or even up to two years in some cases.
We produced a high-resolution animation, which shows the ocean temperature anomalies across the tropical Pacific ocean. You can nicely see the cold ENSO phase at its peak strength in November and December 2020. Take note of how the colder waters are being pushed from east to west by the strong trade winds in the tropical Pacific region.
The image below from NOAA Climate shows the typical circulation during a cold ENSO phase. Air descends in the eastern Pacific, causing stable and dry weather, while air rises in the western Pacific, causing frequent thunderstorms and a lot of rainfall.
This way, ENSO has a major impact on the tropical rainfall and pressure patterns and the ocean-atmosphere feedback system. Through this ocean-atmosphere system, the ENSO influence is distributed globally. We usually observe a global shift in pressure patterns during the emergence and duration of the ENSO phases.
Preliminary data shows that the cold ENSO phase has already reached its peak in late 2020. While it was not the strongest ever, this cold phase was indeed quite strong. This increased the likelihood of its impact reaching into spring 2021. Despite now weakening, the ENSO phases can have a global influence even after they are gone, as it can take some time to change the global circulation.
LA NINA AND WINTER 2020/2021
One of the main influences of the cold ENSO phase (or any other phase) can be seen in the changing jet stream. For the cold phase, the most common signal is a strong high-pressure system in the North Pacific ocean.
You can see the usual winter jet stream position during the cold ENSO phases and the corresponding weather development over North America. The twisting jet stream brings colder air and storms down from Canada into northern and the northwestern United States, and warmer and drier weather to the southern parts.
But, the Winter 2020/2021 did not play nicely with the cold La Nina. Below you can see two graphics. The top one shows the air pressure anomalies during the first two winter months in winter 2020/2021. The bottom graphic shows the average air pressure anomalies during the strongest 13 La Nina events in the past 70 years.
You don't have to be a certified meteorologist or a climatologist to see that they do not fit together very well. The actual winter patterns were not showing a strong La Nina influence. In comparison, the main difference was the strong Greenland/Arctic high-pressure system this winter.
Below is another image, which shows a comparison of the stronger 13 La Nina events since 1949, to the average La Nina winter pressure pattern. Basically, this image is a rough approximation of how strong was the La Nina signal or influence during its winter season.
All years show a certain level of correlation with the expected pressure patterns. The only ones standing out are Winter 1984/1985 and of course 2020/2021. Last winter is especially interesting, as it has a negative value, indicating an almost opposite development to that expected.
The main reason behind this is perhaps not so easy to pinpoint. Based on the available data, one of the likely reasons was the strong stratospheric warming event in late December into early January.
You can see the pressure anomalies in the lower atmosphere on the image below, from the surface up to around 30km altitude. The red colors indicate higher than normal pressure, which started in the stratosphere and made its way down towards the surface. This process packs a lot of energy and can cause a big shift in the weather patterns. There were more things at play this winter, but this stratospheric warming event is the easiest to pinpoint as one of the pattern influencers.
TRADE WINDS AND OCEAN CURRENTS
As we mentioned before, the ENSO phases are driven by tropical winds (trade winds) and ocean currents. Strong easterly winds in the ENSO regions cool the ocean, as they mix the waters, and cause the upwelling of colder deeper water. Westerly winds usually mean warmer water.
Below we have an image from CyclonicWx, which shows the latest trade winds around the world at the equator. You can see the negative (easterly winds) in the ENSO regions. But these easterlies are slightly weakening in this 10-day forecast. What is more impressive, is the strong westerly wave burst to develop between 120°E and 180°.
Westerly winds almost always mean warmer ocean temperatures. So these "westerly bursts" developing are always being monitored closely when approaching the ENSO regions.
Looking at the actual ocean surface currents, you can see the easterly ocean currents dominant in the east ENSO regions. The rest of the region also features easterly currents, which corresponds with the cooling and colder anomalies.
In the past days, the ENSO regions have slightly cooled, relative to normal, due to these enhanced easterly winds/currents. Below is a graphic from CyclonicWx, which shows the ENSO 3.4 region temperature anomaly. After a weakening phase, the temperature anomalies are going down again. This corresponds to the stronger trade winds across the ENSO regions.
But, there is a lot going on below the surface as well. The next image shows the ocean temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific since February. You can see the pool of colder than normal temperatures, which is the La Nina. In the past month, this cold pool has been rapidly weakening, as was the La Nina on the ocean surface. Warmer ocean temperatures are quickly progressing from west to east, slowly pushing out the cold La Nina anomalies.
The latest forecast for mid-April, shows the progression of these warmer waters to continue. Our own image below shows the anomaly forecast, with warmer temperatures now expanding even further east, than on the images above. Warming furthest east is located between 50 and 100 meters depth.
As we mentioned before, westerly currents mean warmer temperatures. We produced two images that show ocean current forecast at 50 and 100meters depth. They both show a strong wave of westerlies at these depths, corresponding to the transport of warmer temperatures at these depths.
This will be a major inhibitor to the further development of the La Nina and its sustainability. These are perhaps early signs that the balance of power might shift from the cold phase to the warm phase (El Nino) later this year.
LA NINA FUTURE
Based on what we have seen so far, La Nina is in trouble at the moment. Despite the easterly winds and currents still holding the ENSO in the cold phase, it will likely go into a neutral phase this spring.
The official probabilistic forecast from IRI, also shows the cold phase persisting into spring. But a neutral state looks to be dominant as we go further towards Summer 2021.
The ensemble forecast from ECMWF also shows the further weakening of the cold phase, going into neutral by summer 2021. This is the latest forecast from early March, as the April forecast is not yet available. We will write an updated article on the ENSO forecast, as new data will be available later this month.
Looking at all the models and statistical forecasts, it is very hard to get a clear picture. The average consensus is that the neutral phase will continue deep into Autumn 2021. But we know that spring ENSO forecasts are notoriously bad, for many reasons. A shift to either a new warm phase or the second cold phase is likely to start in late Autumn.
The actual summer ocean temperature anomaly from ECMWF shows the ENSO regions being in a neutral phase. Even some positive anomalies are developing in the far eastern regions. Take note of the warmer than normal ocean temperatures in the western North Atlantic. This is not something that we want to see in summer, prior to the start of the hurricane season.
ENSO AND HURRICANES
We have seen above that the La Nina is slowly (perhaps just temporarily) ending. But since the global climate is complicated and so large, it can take quite a while for its effects to completely filter out. So despite an ENSO phase ending, its effects can still be seen weeks or even months after.
ENSO phases are strongly related to the atmospheric circulation, as we now know. It is during the Atlantic hurricane season, that these influences are even more important. Below we have a graphic, which shows the impact of a cold ENSO phase on the hurricane season.
The main takeaway is that cold or neutral-cold ENSO conditions support more tropical systems developing and strengthening in the tropical Atlantic area. This increases the risk of long-lived tropical systems, which increases the risk of landfall in the Caribbean and in the United States.
We can also see this if we look at the historical data for pressure and lift. The image below shows the sea level pressure anomaly during the hurricane season in a cold ENSO phase. It is nicely seen, how there is lower pressure across the tropical Atlantic, supporting the development of tropical systems from Africa to the United States.
Another parameter to look at is the velocity potential. To keep it simple, we can identify areas of lift in the atmosphere. The image below shows the velocity potential in a hurricane season during a cold ENSO effect. It is obvious that we have an area of lift in the tropical Atlantic. This supports tropical cyclone development and favorable conditions for strengthening.
PACIFIC OCEAN AND THE WEATHER
The Pacific Ocean is vast, and there is more than just the ENSO and its phases at work here. There is another well-known region of the ocean here, which has an impact on weather in the United States and Canada.
This is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or just PDO for short. You can see it on the image below, seen as the cold ocean anomalies along the west coast of North America. Another feature of the PDO is the warm/cold ocean anomaly in the central North Pacific region. As the ocean temperatures are colder than normal along the west coast, this is known as a negative or cold PDO.
Below is a perfect example of a cold PDO, with the cold ocean anomalies in a horseshoe shape along the west coast of North America, and the warm ocean anomalies west of it. You can see that it is very similar to the actual analysis above, which confirms we are currently in a cold PDO phase.
The impact of the cold PDO is felt mainly across the United States and Canada. Below is a historical analysis of the surface temperatures in a cold PDO phase. We can see colder temperatures along the west coast and further inland over the northwestern United States and western Canada. Most of the southern, central, and eastern United States is warmer than normal in a cold PDO phase.
The actual April weather outlook for the United States shows a very similar pattern. The probability forecast shows the chances for a much cooler than normal April in the northwestern United States, and likely cooler for the rest of the west coast. most other parts of the United States will be warmer than normal across the month of April. This is an exact signature as we have seen above for a cold PDO phase.
These conditions also mean that central and southern regions will be drier than normal in April. That is also indicated by the precipitation probability forecast for the United States in April.
Such temperature and precipitation distributions are also similar during a La Nina. So as always, we have a combination of multiple processes working together, each with its own influence, adding its piece to the puzzle.
Oceans always play a major role in our weather and climate, so we will closely monitor the activity. Important oceanic changes that occur in summer or even spring can have far-reaching effects. It can reach all the way to the hurricane season or even into the next winter.
We will keep you updated with fresh and updated forecasts, as more reliable data is released in the coming weeks and months. So stay tuned, and don't forget to bookmark our page to have all the new info ready at hand.

UPDATE: An extreme 100+ mbar pressure difference releases a historic Arctic cold blast towards Europe: damaging frost expected across central Europe


If you're a fish keeper then sooner or later you're going to need to move your beloved pets. Whether that's a short journey round to a friend's house when you go on holiday or you're moving half way across the country, it's essential to understand the safest way to transport fish. Doing so will not only minimize any risks to the health of your fish but will also help to protect expensive fish-keeping equipment.
If your fish tank is reasonably small it may be possible to transport your fish within it. However appreciate not only how heavy glass tanks are but also how fragile they can be. Moving glass aquariums can be a recipe for disaster, leading to either crushed fingers or alternatively chips and cracks appearing in the glass. Generally speaking, a better idea is to transport your fish in an alternative container that is not just lighter and stronger but also easier to carry.
Buckets are a popular solution here though you should aim to buy new equipment especially for the task rather than attempting to re-use the bucket you wash your car with each week. This is because chemical residues may exist inside a bucket that has been used for other purposes, which could in turn cause damage to sensitive aquatic pets.
A further option is to use plastic bags to contain your fish. Clear bags can be particularly useful enabling you to visually check on your fish if you are travelling for an extended period of time. These bags can often be obtained from good aquarium stores.
Whatever container you choose, try to ensure that it is water-tight. That means that any aquarium or bucket you opt to use for transportation should have a closely-fitting lid to prevent any water spilling during movement.
Fish should not be transported with any tank décor lest this moves during transit, causing damage to your fish. If using buckets or bags this is unlikely to be an issue, however if you opt to transport your fish in their aquarium all fittings and décor, from filters to rocks, should be removed for safety and only replaced upon arrival at your destination.
While it may seem cruel, when travelling with fish it makes sense to remove as much of the water as possible. This not only reduces the chances of spillage but also means your fish will move about less during the transportation process further keeping them safe.
One of the most common causes of sickness in fish is a rapidly changing water temperature. In cold weather, tropical fish transported in formerly warm water may find the temperature dropping significantly. Equally, fish transported in a hot vehicle during the summer may experience a rapid and unpleasant rise in temperature.
When transporting fish try to take the ambient temperature into account by properly airing the vehicle, turning on air conditioning and/or ramping up the heating as necessary in order to minimize any rapid changes in water temperature.
Additionally, adding insulation to the carrying container can be a useful strategy. It's normal, for example, for professional pet transporters to place bags of fish into polystyrene boxes for transportation so as to slow down any changes to the water temperature within.
Most commonly-kept fish are diurnal, meaning they're awake during the day. At night they typically go into a torpor and are far less active. In this relaxed state they also tend to become less stressed. This can be useful tool. By keeping your fish in a darkened environment (such as placing a sheet or rug over a clear container) can help to minimize the stressful effects of moving your fish.
One final step worthy of mention are the number of aquarium additives available to help fish recover after an extended journey. These will generally help to treat any minor abrasions resulting from transportation; disinfecting them and speeding up the healing process. If possible, purchase one of these remedies before travel so that on arrival you can add the necessary dose, thus helping your fish to recover from their ordeal as quickly as possible. Your local aquarium shop should be able to recommend a suitable medication.

Geoffrey Peter Murphy
(1938-10-13) 13 October 1938
Film director, film producer, screenwriter,
Geoffrey Peter Murphy ONZM (born 13 October 1938) is a New Zealand filmmaker, as a producer, director and screenwriter best known for his work during the renaissance of New Zealand cinema that began in the last half of the 1970s. His second feature Goodbye Pork Pie (1981) was the first New Zealand movie to win major commercial success on its own soil.
Murphy directed a string of Hollywood features during the 1990s, before returning to New Zealand as second unit director on The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The versatile Murphy has also been a scriptwriter, special effects technician, schoolteacher and trumpet player.

Filmography 6
Murphy grew up in the Wellington suburb of Highbury, and attended St. Vincent de Paul School in Kelburn and St. Patrick's College, Wellington, before training and working as a schoolteacher.[1]
Blerta
Murphy was a founding member of legendary 'hippy' musical and theatrical co-operative Blerta, which toured New Zealand and Australia performing multi-media shows in the early 1970s. Blerta were later given the opportunity to make their own television series, which in turn spawned what is arguably Murphy's first feature film, the 75 minute long Wild Man. A number of Blerta members would work on Murphy's films - including drummer and Blerta founder Bruno Lawrence, who had starring roles in Utu and The Quiet Earth.
Early films
Murphy made his name with road movie Goodbye Pork Pie (1981), the first New Zealand film to attract large-scale audiences in its home country. Made on a low budget, the film followed three people travelling from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island, to growing infamy along the way.
Murphy confirmed his versatility and ability to attract mainstream audiences with the two films that followed: Māori western Utu (1983) and the last man on earth piece The Quiet Earth (1985).[2] Utu won rave reviews from Variety and critic Pauline Kael, while The Quiet Earth was described as "the best science-fiction film of the 80s" by the New York Daily News. The latter film became a cult hit in the United States.
Murphy became renowned for his abilities with action, knockabout comedy, and fusing genres.
By the 1990s Murphy had begun a decade working outside of New Zealand, mostly in the United States. In this period he directed movies such as Young Guns II, Freejack which featured Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger, and Steven Seagal sequel Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. The latter proved his most successful film at the international box-office, grossing more than US$100 million worldwide. However, none of these films were well received by critics overall.
Return to New Zealand
Murphy returned to New Zealand and assisted Peter Jackson on the The Lord of the Rings films; made a documentary film chronicling the Blerta phenomenon; and directed critically panned thriller Spooked, featuring Cliff Curtis. More recently, he directed the New Zealand television comedy series Welcome to Paradise,[3] worked on the remastered DVD release of Goodbye Pork Pie and was 2nd unit director on another Hollywood movie.
In 2013 Murphy was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2013 Rialto Channel New Zealand Film Awards.[4] The same year saw the release of a restored and reedited and version of possibly his most ambitious film, Utu, under the title Utu Redux.
Murphy was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2014 New Year Honours.[5][6] In the same year, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in literature by Massey University.[7]
