Large wildfires are once again uncontrollably threatening much of the intermountain west in North America. Just 5 miles/ 8 km from the oncoming edge of the Cub Creek fire here in Washington is one of my most favorite places to record  anywhere. Thirtymile Meadows is one of the very few places I know of in the continuous 48 United States that is neither rainforest nor remote island where I can set up my microphones, press record, and expect a soundscape free of human-generated noise for at least 4 hours to be the result. Sometimes it can be up to nearly a day.
This was a little more than a month ago, the morning of Summer Solstice. It’s merely an excerpt.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to record there again, at least not a soundscape such as this, filled with birdsong. It’s highly likely my next trip with be filled with the whistling winds that wind around burned snags, the creaking of swaying barren trunks, perhaps the snapping and falling of dead wood.

Stands up on soapbox:
These forests depend upon fire for their very survival, but the rejuvenating fire that feeds their growth is low-level, fuel-consuming, and under-story burning. It cracks open seeds for hardy conifers. It clears room for new seedlings. It brings down larger diseased trees, returning their nutrients to the soil.
The fires we see raging now are not those fires.
For decades we have managed these forests by preventing fire without clearing the accumulating fuels. In the effort to keep “timber stock” available for logging and to protect the encroaching human settlements, all fire is suppressed. Weakened and dried by the advancement of climate change, trees age without replacement while dense, dry growth builds up beneath.
A simple spark (a lightning strike, an untended campfire, the hot under-carriage of a vehicle, a cigarette butt) is all that is needed to start a conflagration that does not clear and rejuvenate, but destroys.
With both the understory and tree cover gone, the ground becomes loose and rocky. The Autumn rains, Winter snows, and Spring melts wash away the fertile soils that nurse future growth.
We lose forest, and it doesn’t grow back. Not all of it. The interiors are safe for now, and can slowly re-grow over the ensuing decades if left un-molested. The edges are gone, however, and each successive fire and monsoon season scales them back farther.
Thirtymile Meadows is at a unique interface of interior, edge, and wet meadow. The meadow will survive, as should the deep forest to its Northeast. The Southwest edge, though, will disappear if the Cub Creek Fire reaches it. Already scarred by human-caused fires nearly twenty years ago, the Southern edge is dry, fuel-filled, and loose.

I don’t have an answer. I don’t have a plan. I just want to make people aware.

I also want to share the beauty of soundscapes that are in danger of disappearing, whether from noise pollution or ecosystem loss.

In this podcast we consider the impact of the internet on HR. We hear how three very different organisations have used Web 2.0.  The CIPD is doing some research on the impact of Social networking on HR.

Podcast 22: Social Networking, Recruitment and HR

Clive Hutchinson, Company Leader, Cougar Automation and John McGurk, Learning and Talent Adviser, CIPD discuss what impact social media is having on the world of work and how learning and development is becoming 'social'


Podcast 54: Learning and development in a socially networked age

A 'Mahlerian pop song' inspired by the shapeshifting raven from the Norse sagas. The bird becomes a metaphor for grief amongst other things...

Lyrics/Music/Vocals: James Cave

'Last night I lay in bed/I couldn't sleep
Tap tap tapping away
A shapeshifter into my room did creep 
Tap tap tapping away
Some tell of shapeshifting souls who still roam the earth
Are they just stories?
This mocking bird will sing
This shapeshifter takes wing
Tap tap tapping away
This broken bird still sings
Don't want to live in your cage...'

“At the heart of every business is people; how they create value is the key issue that CEOs are struggling with today” – Charles Tilley, CEO, CIMA

“We’ve got to move beyond short-term financial metrics if we’re going to create growth and come out of the recession strongly” – Ann Francke, CEO, CMI

“There’s a lot of art to HR. This is not about putting every dimension of people into some quantifiable figure” – Peter Cheese, CEO, CIPD
Last year, a collaboration of organisations, including the CIPD, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), launched Valuing your Talent, with the aim of encouraging ‘more businesses to measure the impact that investing in people has on their organisational performance’. The multi-disciplinary project group and the open, collaborative approach were deliberate attempts to overcome obstacles that have foiled previous attempts to provide a framework for measuring human capital. 
The project has now been underway for several months, and, as the report and framework are published, we give the Chief Executives of the participating professional bodies a chance to address some of the issues that have been raised, and to clarify their vision for the project, and the part that each of their professions has to play. 
Philippa Lamb chairs the discussion between Peter Cheese of the CIPD, Charles Tilley of CIMA and Ann Francke of CMI. 


Valuing your Talent: CEO Discussion

In this podcast we discuss the impact of increasing numbers of migrant workers on the UK workforce and in particular the effect that this is having on young people as they seek employment. We speak to Gerwyn Davies, Public Policy Adviser at the CIPD, who sets the scene for the numbers of migrant workers compared to 10 years ago. We discuss the rising number of skilled EU workers entering the UK workforce and the impact on the UK employment rate. We also speak to Alex Gennie, Senior Research Fellow, IPPR (Institute for Public Policy Research) and Sinead Lawrence, Senior Policy Adviser, CBI (Confederation of British Industry) about how the employment landscape is changing in general and why it is important to consider the impact of EU migrant workers as part of this changing landscape. We go on to discuss what EU migrants bring to the workforce in terms of skills and values and the effect this is having on young people in particular.

Welcome to the first podcast for 2015! In this podcast Chief Executive Peter Cheese explains the key themes the CIPD will be focusing on in the coming year and introduces 4 important thinkers discussing what they think is significant and cutting edge for the profession right now. First we speak to Nick Chater, Professor of Behavioural Science at the Warwick Business School, about the science of human behaviour and its relevance to HR issues. Next we hear from James Rule, Director of HR Solution Effectiveness at Thomson Reuters who describes a scheme called ‘partnering for performance’ that embodies the idea of aligning talent within the business with opportunity and how they have used technology to achieve this. We also hear from Arnab Banerjee, an HR Transformation and Technology expert, who describes the ways technology can optimise HR and his predictions for what will happen in this space. Finally we hear from Rita Gunther McGrath, a Professor at Columbia Business School, who outlines why she believes that businesses should stop focusing on sustaining a competitive advantage and instead work towards identifying different opportunities and working in an agile way to take advantage of these opportunities.
