Coronavirus: UK payrolls shrink by 649,000 jobs in lockdown
by Zein on July 16, 2020 in Business Marketing
The number of workers on UK company payrolls fell by 649,000 between March and June, official figures indicate.
The number of people claiming work-related benefits last month – including the unemployed – was 2.6 million.
The overall jobless rate was unchanged but there are 47,000 more young people unemployed than there were a year ago.
Unemployment has not surged, as many feared, because large numbers of firms have put employees on the government-backed furlough scheme.
But economists say the full effect on employment will not be felt until the scheme ends in October.
How can we get a clearer picture of what's going on?
The headline unemployment rate hasn't budged since the lockdown was introduced to stop the spread of coronavirus. It stayed at 3.9% between March and May, unchanged on the previous three months.
Why is the jobless rate not rising?
But because of the effect of the furlough scheme on the employment market, analysts say the number of hours worked per week is currently a truer reflection of the impact of the coronavirus crisis.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said that since the start of the pandemic, total weekly hours worked in the UK had fallen by a record 175.3 million, or 16.7%, to 877.1 million hours.
"This was the largest annual decrease since estimates began in 1971, with total hours dropping to its lowest level since May to July 1997," the ONS added.
The number of Britons on payrolls – which means people employed by a company and does not include the self-employed – fell by 2.2% in June compared with March.
How are young people faring?
Young people are being especially badly hit, while there are not many jobs around for anyone. Many people have simply given up looking.
"Despite the lack of overall increase in the number of unemployed, the estimated number of people unemployed aged 16 to 24 years increased by 47,000 on the year, while other age groups remained steady," the ONS said.
Coronavirus: Seven tips for job hunters
Many young people are employed in the hospitality industry, which was largely shut down from 23 March. The retail sector, also a source of jobs for younger people, has also been hard hit by the lockdown.
At the same time, vacancies in the UK in April to June 2020 are at the lowest level since the survey began in April to June 2001, at an estimated 333,000.
"This is 23% lower than the previous record low in April to June 2009," the ONS said.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak recently announced a £2bn "kickstart scheme" to create more jobs for younger people struggling to find work.
The ONS added that a larger than usual number of those losing their jobs were not currently searching for another one and were therefore economically inactive rather than unemployed, while some unemployed people had stopped looking for work.
The figures came as a survey by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said 29% of businesses expected to decrease the size of their workforce in the next three months. The BCC called for a cut in employers' National Insurance contributions to protect businesses and jobs.
At the same time, the Resolution Foundation think tank said the way the UK reports unemployment may not reflect the "true scale of joblessness".
The government's spending watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility, has warned that in the worst-case scenario, unemployment could rise to four million.
'Your mood plummets'
Theatre technician Charlotte Baker, 29, is out of work as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
She started a new job at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon in September last year and was furloughed in March.
Theatre technician Charlotte Baker has been made redundant
Last month, she was made redundant, even though she could have been kept on furlough.
"Your mood plummets, your mental health and it's just been very difficult living in limbo essentially," she told the BBC.
"I obviously just started this new job which I absolutely loved and me and my partner wanted to buy in Croydon – we were looking at buying our first property together and that's been put on hold.
"It's difficult as well – as some people are getting back to normal, we get certain freedoms back, there are people like me and a lot of people I know that are very much in the depths of this and don't know what's going to happen.
"I'm thinking of doing a carpentry course. I could then potentially live off that, or hopefully if my job comes back, I bring those skills back into this job. But it is difficult, very hard."
What are economists saying?
Jeremy Thomson-Cook, chief economist at financial services firm Equals, said: "The furlough scheme has made the monthly reading of job numbers rather meaningless, given nine million people are technically neither employed nor jobless.
"The only guarantee is that some will be looking for new work as the scheme winds down, and some will not be able to given changes in their living circumstances driven by the pandemic.
"Wage growth has fallen, which could either be caused by lower-paid workers rejoining the workforce, or from employers failing to top up furloughed wages when they previously had. As with all jobs data at the moment, we have to look through the prism of the furlough system to see what's what."
There's a storm coming: the government's official number-crunchers – the Office for Budget Responsibility – have warned that unemployment could hit four million this year.
But the bulk of that is yet to hit the numbers. The normal counts of employment have been propped up by support schemes: more than 11 million private sector workers are still on the government payroll. Those plans have been very effective in staving off a greater crisis as lockdown hit.
The looming turmoil and hardship is clear however, with average real pay – that's after inflation – 1.3% lower than a year ago in May and the number of job vacancies at a record low.
The number of people counting as self-employed has fallen a record 178,000.
As employers now look towards the winding down of support schemes, the announcements of layoffs are now multiplying. Despite the chancellor's new plan, a big rise in joblessness still seems inevitable.
The challenge is to getting people back into work – particularly younger ones, the group most likely to have been furloughed. Lengthy unemployment, especially at the start of a career, can blight livelihoods and prospects for decades.
And while the economy is opening up, the uncertain outlook may make employers reluctant to do the same with hiring.
What's the political reaction?
Business Secretary Alok Sharma said he had "enormous sympathy" for people who found themselves out of work.
"I know it's going to be very, very difficult for lots of people as a result of this. The best thing we can do is continue to open up the economy in a phased manner and a cautious manner and get businesses up and running again," he told the BBC's Today programme.
He said the cost of inaction would have been "far greater" than the action the government had taken.
Bridget Phillipson, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, said every lost job was "a personal tragedy now and a hammer blow to public finances in the long run".
She accused the chancellor of taking a "blanket approach" rather than targeting the sectors worst affected by the crisis.

Mexican President Visits California
Mexican President Felipe Calderon will pay his first visit to California Wednesday. And you can bet immigration will be high on the list of topics he'll address with state officials.
By Marianne Russ
(Sacramento, CA)
Calderon's visit to the golden state is part of a multi-city tour. He's not planning a meeting with President Bush – but he will visit with Governor Schwarzenegger and California's top lawmakers. He'll also give an address to the entire state legislature...and he's expected to talk about illegal immigration. Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez says he invited Calderon to come: "The visit of President Calderon to California is not a symbolic gesture of goodwill, but in fact, in effect, what it is, is an expression of appreciation and the need to continue to strengthen those economic ties." A spokeswoman for the Governor says Schwarzenegger looks forward to talking with the Mexican President about issues such as border security, the environment and strengthening trade between the two countries.

Sample selection, recruitment and participation rates in health examination surveys in Europe - experience from seven national surveys.
2019-11-22T15:41:57Z (GMT) by Jennifer S. Mindell Simona Giampaoli Antje Goesswald Panagiotis Kamtsiuris Charlotte Mann Satu Männistö Karen Morgan Nicola J. Shelton W M Monique Verschuren Hanna Tolonen HES Response Rate Group
BACKGROUND: Health examination surveys (HESs), carried out in Europe since the 1950's, provide valuable information about the general population's health for health monitoring, policy making, and research. Survey participation rates, important for representativeness, have been falling. International comparisons are hampered by differing exclusion criteria and definitions for non-response.
METHOD: Information was collected about seven national HESs in Europe conducted in 2007-2012. These surveys can be classified into household and individual-based surveys, depending on the sampling frames used. Participation rates of randomly selected adult samples were calculated for four survey modules using standardised definitions and compared by sex, age-group, geographical areas within countries, and over time, where possible.
RESULTS: All surveys covered residents not just citizens; three countries excluded those in institutions. In two surveys, physical examinations and blood sample collection were conducted at the participants' home; the others occurred at examination clinics. Recruitment processes varied considerably between surveys. Monetary incentives were used in four surveys. Initial participation rates aged 35-64 were 45 % in the Netherlands (phase II), 54 % in Germany (new and previous participants combined), 55 % in Italy, and 65 % in Finland. In Ireland, England and Scotland, household participation rates were 66 %, 66 % and 63 % respectively. Participation rates were generally higher in women and increased with age. Almost all participants attending an examination centre agreed to all modules but surveys conducted in the participants' home had falling responses to each stage. Participation rates in most primate cities were substantially lower than the national average. Age-standardized response rates to blood pressure measurement among those aged 35-64 in Finland, Germany and England fell by 0.7-1.5 percentage points p.a. between 1998-2002 and 2010-2012. Longer trends in some countries show a more marked fall.
CONCLUSIONS: The coverage of the general population in these seven national HESs was good, based on the sampling frames used and the sample sizes. Pre-notification and reminders were used effectively in those with highest participation rates. Participation rates varied by age, sex, geographical area, and survey design. They have fallen in most countries; the Netherlands data shows that they can be maintained at higher levels but at much higher cost.

Soak up sun on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, hike the peaks of the Majella mountains, discover Abruzzo's famed Montepulciano wine and delicious culinary treats, or just relax and take in the view - you can have it all at Dentro la Terra. This newly renovated palazzo, nestled in a historic village center and overlooking rolling hills and vineyards, offers two self-catering apartments for holiday rentals. They are fully furnished and equipped.
The Piano Nobile apartment faces the garden and features a terrace with a table, chairs and an umbrella.
The village of Arielli (+/- 1,100 inhabitants) is located in the Abruzzo countryside, about 15 kilometers from both the Adriatic Sea and the foothills of the Majella mountain. Its historic center is built on a hill overlooking vineyards and olive groves. In the autumn, many farmers produce wine and olive oil in the surrounding area.
Our palazzo, which was long owned by wealthy Arielli landowners, has some parts dating back hundreds of years. Stretching out over three floors, it is surrounded by a large garden and overlooks a forested valley, offering a lot of privacy despite being in the village center. It underwent an extensive renovation in 2018 and is now ready to welcome guests. We decided to name it "Dentro la Terra" in honor of the colloquial expression used by the locals to refer to the historic center.

Q: React: how to prevent api calls in ComponentDidMount and in ComponentDidUpdate override each other In componentDidMount I am fetching data using a Redux action, for example:
componentDidMount() {
   let parameter = some code;
   this.props.getAction(parameter).then(r => {
     if(r.type.endsWith('SUCCESS')){
       this.setState({cList: r.payload.data.data})
     }
   }
}

and then, in the componentDidUpdate I need to fetch again data, when the parameters inside the function change (I am using lodash):
componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState){
   if(!isEqual(this.props.parameter, prevProps.parameter){
     let parameter = some code;
     if(r.type.endsWith('SUCCESS')){
       this.setState({cList: r.payload.data.data})
     }
   }
}

The problem is that if the Promise in the componentDidUpdate returns the result before the Promise in componentDidMount, when I have my parameter changed in the component, the data shown is wrong; it is still showing the data from componentDidMount and not from the new action calls in the componentDidUpdate.
I hope everything is clear.
How can I avoid this? Thanks.

A: You can keep an instance variable lastRequestId in your component to track which promise is running, something like this :
class MyComponent extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.lastRequestId = null;
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    let parameter = "some code";
    this.lastRequestId = 'ON_MOUNT_REQUEST';
    this.props.getAction(parameter).then(r => {
      if(r.type.endsWith('SUCCESS') && this.lastRequestId === 'ON_MOUNT_REQUEST'){
        this.setState({cList: r.payload.data.data})
      }
    })
  }

  componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState){
    if(!isEqual(this.props.parameter, prevProps.parameter)) {
      let parameter = "some code";
      this.lastRequestId = 'ON_UPDATE_REQUEST';
      this.props.getAction(parameter).then(r => {
        if(r.type.endsWith('SUCCESS') && this.lastRequestId === 'ON_UPDATE_REQUEST'){
          this.setState({cList: r.payload.data.data})
        }
      })
    }
  }

Wedding rings – is a constant attribute of the wedding. I must say that at the legislative level the use of engagement rings etsy is not regulated at all. Sign and become a husband and wife is quite possible, without exchanging rings. But the sacred tradition to wear wedding rings adhere to for many centuries. And therefore, it is hardly possible to find a couple who would ignore the rite of exchange engagement rings etsy. Most often, the newlyweds exchange rings at the wedding. In more religious families, the priest puts the rings on the fingers of the young during the wedding ceremony in the church. So, engagement rings etsy!
The ring is a symbol of loyalty and devotion of spouses. It has no end, no beginning, which symbolizes eternity and the strength of family ties. By exchanging engagement rings etsy, the bride and groom give each other a vow of love and loyalty.
From a practical point of view, wedding rings, engagement rings etsy, are also very important. They show that the husband and wife have already found each other, that they are happy and do not want to love affairs on the side. When meeting someone, it is somehow not acceptable to ask directly in the forehead: Girl, and are you married? But if the golden ring, engagement rings etsy, sparkles on the ring finger, then the question, like the intrusive cavalier himself, disappears by itself.

British court gives P&ID go-ahead to seize Nigerian assets worth $9bn
by Oluseyi Awojulugbe	1 Comment
A British court has given Process and Industrial Development Limited (P&ID) the go-ahead to seize Nigerian assets worth $9 billion.
P&ID got a judgement in its favour in London on Friday.
The case in contention is a 2010 agreement to build a gas processing plant in Calabar which collapsed because Nigeria did not meet its end of the bargain.
Commenting on the judgement on behalf of the company, Andrew Stafford Q.C. of Kobre & Kim said: "We are pleased that the Court has rejected Nigeria's objections both to the arbitration process and to the amount of the award and that it will grant permission to P&ID to begin enforcement of the award in the United Kingdom.
"The Court has ruled decisively in P&ID's favour and has comprehensively rejected Nigeria's efforts to avoid payment of this award of over $9.6 billion.
"P&ID is committed to vigorously enforcing its rights, and we intend to begin the process of seizing Nigerian assets in order to satisfy this award as soon as possible."
The bone of contention
P&ID, founded by Irishmen Michael Quinn and Brendan Cahill had entered into a 20-year gas and supply processing agreement (GSPA) with the federal government in 2010 to build a state-of-the-art gas processing facility in Calabar.
The plant, in which Nigeria was to have a 10% stake, was to refine associated natural gas into non-associated natural gas to power the national electric grid as conceived in 2006 when President Olusegun Obasanjo was in power.
The agreement stipulated Nigeria would receive 85% of the non-associated gas at no cost for electrical generation and industrialisation. P&ID would receive the remaining 15% of byproduct – methane, propane, butane – to sell on the commercial markets, of which Nigeria would receive proceeds from their 10% stake in the company's ownership.
Based on the agreement, the government was to supply 150 million standard cubic feet (scf) of the gas per day to P&ID — rising to 400 million scf in the life of the project. The gas was otherwise being flared by the oil-producing companies.
The GSPA also required the government to build a gas supply pipeline to the P&ID facility.
P&ID said after spending several years preparing for the project, the project collapsed because the Nigerian government did not build a pipeline or secure supply of gas as stipulated in the agreement.
The judicial journey
In August 2012, the company initiated arbitration proceedings.
The tribunal was organised in London under the rules of the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act as part of the original contractual agreement between parties.
In January 2017, the tribunal ruled that Nigeria was liable for $6.6 billion in damages, which increased to $9 billion after interest.
Implications for Nigeria
For a start, Nigeria's debt which was put at N24.9 trillion as of July 2019 would increase significantly without the government borrowing a dime.
At the official exchange rate of N305/$, this judgement debt is N2.7 trillion.
However, this amount might increase due to interest if the settlement is not resolved quickly.
Going by the court ruling, Nigeria will lose some prized assets.
England and Wales High Court (Commercial Court)Process and Industrial Development Limited (P&ID)
AAU August 16, 16:24
Broad daylight robbery, how the hell did arrive at the sum of almost 10 billion dollars, did the company invest a single dollar in this so called gas project, am sorry this is classic scam perpetrated by a world class con men which may include Nigerians and now approved by a court in UK after all the said "fine" will remain in the British economy.

In total, Gelesis has obtained nearly $100 million this year to support the US launch of PlenityTM.
'We are pleased that Gelesis continues to attract impressive investor interest as they prepare for the US launch of Plenity,' said Eric Elenko, PhD, chief innovation officer at PureTech.
The full text of the announcement from Gelesis is as follows:
Gelesis Secures Over $84 Million in New Capital to Support Commercialisation of PLENITY™
BOSTON, Dec. 9, 2019 - Gelesis, a biotechnology company developing a novel hydrogel platform technology to treat obesity and other chronic diseases related to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, today announced it secured $84.6 million in new capital. In total, Gelesis has obtained nearly $100 million this year to support the US launch of PlenityTM.
'We are delighted to begin this partnership with Vitruvian, whose mission of driving rapid growth and change across industries is very much aligned with our approach to launching this first-of-its-kind product that could potentially make a difference in the lives of people struggling with excess weight,' said Yishai Zohar, founder and chief executive officer of Gelesis. 'With this new capital, we are well-positioned to enhance our strategic launch initiatives and leverage our early commercial experience as we prepare for large scale commercial availability of Plenity in the US.'
Based upon the Gelesis' proprietary manufacturing facility location, the company was also awarded a grant of $12.9 (€11.7) million from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), regulated by the Puglia Region of Italy. This builds on the $10.6 (€9.4) million grant announced in April 2019 and brings the total non-dilutive funds secured this year to $23.5 million. The company also further enhanced its financial flexibility by entering into a long-term, low interest $8.3 million loan agreement.
About PLENITY™
PLENITY is an oral, non-systemic, superabsorbent hydrogel which has received FDA clearance as an aid in weight management in overweight and obese adults with a BMI of 25-40 kg/m2, when used in conjunction with diet and exercise. It is made by cross-linking two naturally derived building blocks-modified cellulose and citric acid-that create a three-dimensional matrix. PLENITY particles rapidly absorb water in the stomach and homogenously mix with ingested foods. Rather than forming one large mass, it creates thousands of small individual gel pieces with the elasticity (firmness) of solid plant-based foods (e.g., vegetables) without caloric value. The PLENITY hydrogel increases the volume and elasticity of the stomach and small intestine contents and induces a feeling of fullness and satiety. Once it arrives in the large intestine, the hydrogel is partially broken down by enzymes and loses its three-dimensional structure along with most of its absorption capacity. The released water is reabsorbed in the large intestine, and the remaining cellulosic material is eliminated through the body's natural digestive processes. PLENITY is considered a medical device because it achieves its primary intended purpose through mechanical modes of action consistent with mechanobiology constructs. For more information, visit myplenity.com.
PLENITY is contraindicated in patients who are pregnant or are allergic to cellulose, citric acid, sodium stearyl fumarate, gelatin or titanium oxide.
PLENITY may alter the absorption of medications. Read Sections 6 and 8.3 of the Instructions for Use carefully.
Avoid use in patients with the following conditions: esophageal anatomic anomalies, including webs, diverticuli, and rings; suspected strictures (such as patients with Crohn's disease); or complications from prior gastrointestinal (GI) surgery that could affect GI transit and motility.
Use with caution in patients with active GI conditions such as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers or heartburn.
Overall, the most common treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) were GI-related with 38% of adults in the PLENITY group and 28% of adults in the placebo group.
The overall incidence of adverse events (AEs) in the PLENITY group was no different from the placebo group.
Rx Only. For the safe and proper use of PLENITY, refer to the Instructions for Use.

About Gelesis
Gelesis is developing a novel hydrogel platform technology to treat overweight and obesity and chronic diseases related to the GI pathway. Gelesis' proprietary approach is designed to act mechanically in the GI pathway to potentially alter the course of certain chronic diseases. In April 2019, Gelesis received FDA clearance for its lead product candidate, Plenity™, as an aid for weight management in overweight and obese adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25-40 kg/m2, when used in conjunction with diet and exercise. Gelesis anticipates Plenity will be available by prescription in the US in the second half of 2020. Additionally, Gelesis is developing its second investigational candidate, Gelesis200, a hydrogel optimised for weight loss and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. This novel Gelesis hydrogel technology is also being advanced in other GI conditions, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC).
The Gelesis executive and advisory team includes some of the world's leading experts in obesity, materials science, chronic disease research, and commercialisation. Gelesis was co-founded by PureTech Health (LSE: PRTC), a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercialising highly differentiated medicines for devastating diseases.

About PureTech Health
PureTech is a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercialising highly differentiated medicines for devastating diseases, including intractable cancers, lymphatic and gastrointestinal diseases, central nervous system disorders, and inflammatory and immunological diseases, among others. The Company has created a broad and deep pipeline through the expertise of its experienced research and development team and its extensive network of scientists, clinicians and industry leaders. This pipeline, which is being advanced both internally and through PureTech's affiliates, is comprised of 24 product candidates and one product that has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). All of the underlying programmes and platforms that resulted in this pipeline of product candidates were initially identified or discovered and then advanced by the PureTech team through key validation points based on the Company's unique insights into the biology of the brain, immune, and gut, or BIG, systems and the interface between those systems, referred to as the BIG Axis.

PureTech's percentage ownership of Gelesis following the financing is approximately 22.3% on a diluted basis. This calculation of PureTech's holding includes issued and outstanding shares as well as options and warrants to purchase shares, but excludes unallocated shares authorised to be issued pursuant to equity incentive plans. PureTech Health also has a right to low single-digit royalty payments as a percentage of net sales of certain Gelesis products. Of the $63.4 million equity raised in this financing by Gelesis, Invesco Asset Management subscribed for 949,623 preferred shares for an aggregate purchase price of $16.4 million. Invesco is a substantial shareholder of PureTech pursuant to the Listing Rules, and thus this transaction is a smaller related party transaction falling within the scope of Listing Rule 11.1.10R. Invesco was a shareholder of Gelesis prior to this financing and its percentage ownership is substantially the same before and after the financing.

Entrance & Lobby
Chatsworth - 344 West 72
Summer at the Lincoln Center
Living in The Chatsworth's luxury Upper West Side apartments has ample advantages: modern amenities in a New York City landmark that features Beaux Art architecture with expansive floor plans and renovated interiors. But few New York City apartments can boast these benefits along with the added perk of proximity to one of the city's premier cultural institutions: Lincoln Center, a nexus of world-class performances between Broadway and Columbus Avenue and just a short walk from the Chatsworth. Whether you're looking for a black-tie gala or an outdoor festival, Lincoln Center will likely be hosting it this calendar year. Here are just a few of the happenings taking place there this spring and summer.
Lincoln Center Festival | July 13 – July 31
With the razzle dazzle of classical dance, modern multimedia, and ancient theater, Lincoln Center's keystone festival brings together performers across disciplines and countries. This season, the National Ballet of Canada interprets Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale, and one of Japan's oldest Noh theater companies, Kanze Noh, performs Okina, a "dance-based spiritual rite." A highlight of the festival is sure to be hundred-year-old Japanese theater company Takarazuka Revue's all-female version of the Broadway hit Chicago.
Midsummer Night Swing | June 21 – July 9
Every summer, Midsummer Night Swing takes over Damrosch Park in Lincoln Center, transforming the sleepy plaza into a crowded dance hall with live music from bands performing genres ranging from salsa to rock n' roll to swing. Wear comfortable shoes and get ready to jitterbug and jive alfresco from 6 until 10 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Don't worry if you can't "cut a rug"—each evening there's a group dance lesson.
Out of Doors Festival | July 20 – August 13
Culture doesn't have to be confined to hushed theaters and recital halls. With the "Out of Doors Festival," you can enjoy the country's longest-running free arts festival, under the summer sun and in Lincoln Center's outdoor spaces. Local and international performers fill the complex with music, poetry, dance, and spoken word. Past performers include Randy Newman, the Dorrance Dance Group, and Patti Smith, and screenings of a late-night, "silent" version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This year, on Saturday, July 30, Laurie Anderson curates a day-long tribute to her late husband, Lou Reed, with screenings of Reed's film Berlin, a sound installation of his guitar riffs, and a demonstration by Tai Chi Master Ren Guang-Yi.
Mostly Mozart Festival | July 22 – Aug 27
Fans of classical music wait all year for this annual celebration of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with orchestras, soloists, and ensembles gathered from Austria to Austin, Texas. Now in its fiftieth year, "Mostly Mozart" is a New York City institution. In addition to the requisite performance of Mozart by the orchestra-in-residence, the Mostly Mozart Orchestra, the festival includes classical and modern acts, like last year's contemporary compositions by Dai Fukijura or Mendelson played on period instruments by the Academy of Ancient Music. For those who like their music well after dinner and drinks, the late-night program, "A Little Night Music," hosts recitals of soloists and chamber groups in the Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse.
Kids at Lincoln Center | June – September
Ease your children into the world of art without making them sit through Wagner's The Ring Cycle or subtitled film screenings: Kids at Lincoln Center has offered the tiniest cultural connoisseurs live performances of NYC's first all-woman mariachi band Flor de Toloache and a clown circus, and this spring, will bring in children's author Todd Parr to the Atrium at Lincoln Center to read from his book Teachers Rock! Every year the organization pairs with the Philharmonic to host the Young People's Concert, where the ever-charming opera sensation Eric Owens explains how operas come to life through interactive audience discussions and demonstrations from the orchestra.

The human body is an incredible thing. You are probably unaware of this, but right now, your heart is beating 60 to 100 beats a minute, you're blinking 15-20 times per minute, and you're taking 12 to 16 breaths … and that's only the beginning.
Researchers are continuing to discover new ways our bodies keep us healthy to fight against infections and diseases. For instance, our body's immune system naturally detects and destroys abnormal cells to prevent many cancers from developing. But sometimes our immune system needs a little help.
Because of the immune system's power, immunotherapy treatments have the potential to achieve complete, long-lasting remissions and cancer cures.
Monoclonal antibodies. These are man-made versions of immune system proteins. Antibodies can be very useful in treating cancer because they can be designed to attack a very specific part of a cancer cell.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors. These drugs basically take the 'brakes' off the immune system, which helps it recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines. Vaccines are substances put into the body to start an immune response against certain diseases.
Non-specific immunotherapies. These treatments boost the immune system in a general way, but can still help the immune system attack cancer cells.
Most people who receive immunotherapy treatments have cancers that have either recurred, spread or advanced throughout the body.
Do you recommend immunotherapy for me? What type?
What are the goals of my immunotherapy treatment plan?
How will I receive immunotherapy and how often will I receive it?
Is immunotherapy my only treatment? What other treatments will be part of my treatment plan?
What are the side effects? How will you help me manage them?
Immunotherapy clinical trials are critical to bringing new and potentially lifesaving treatments to more patients with a variety types of cancer. As research continues to advance, scientists will continue to find new ways to leverage the body's immune system to fight cancer.
In the meantime, you can do your part to not get cancer by taking care of your body and giving it the best chance to fight disease.

Fetch API Streaming Response Sample

Available in Chrome 43+

This demo will search the first billion digits of PI for a substring you specify, and tell you the position at which it was found. It will do this without consuming a billion bytes of memory! That was impossible with XHR!

Furthermore, it won't even need to do text decoding and string comparison, as it will operate on the bytes directly. (XHR's pseudo-streaming mode, with an ever-growing responseText you could poll, was text-only.)

Finally, once it finds the substring, it will cancel the stream, preventing further network usage! Canceling a fetch was not previously possible. (It is not yet possible to cancel before the headers arrive; see slightlyoff/ServiceWorker#592 and linked issues.)

    <form id="form">

        Enter a substring to search for (bytes displayed below)
        <input type="text" id="substring" pattern="[0-9]+" title="Enter only digits" required>

Q: Change the Ask Question page's field labels to "Question" and "Detail"
Inspired by: Better titles for questions?  Some tips on grammatical editing to make the site look better.
His followup: Would the Stack Exchange network be better if titles contained complete, grammatical questions?

The What:
Can we change the label of the first text field on the Ask Question page from "Title" to "Question" and start referring to the second text field as "Detail"?
I don't mind if we continue to not have the detail box labelled detail, but can we at least call it the "detail box" in questions, comments and discussions?
To use this post as an example, what you're reading right now is the detail, and "Change the Ask Question page's field labels to 'Question' and 'Detail'" is the question.
The Payoff:
We want people to ask good questions in the title/question field.
Here's the impetus for this request (two randomly chosen questions to indicate a sort of "what's being asked here"):

*

*Do Nikon AF-S lenses perform better than AF lenses?

*Divisibility rules and congruences
And some prior art discussion on Meta:

*

*Encourage users to use question Title as a Title/Topic rather than an abbreviated question

*Should question titles be phrased as questions? (A straw poll)

*How can we get more people to make their title a question?

*What's in a Title (line)?

A: So you want to name the body of a post as "summary"? To me, "summary" implies something that is "summed up" or simplified.  The part where we add in more detail is the exact opposite of a summary.

FBI, Interpol Working More Closely Against Terrorism and Cybercrime
The announcement came Sept. 23 after a high-level meeting between FBI Director James Comey and Interpol Secretary General Jürgen Stock in Lyon, France.
Leaders of Interpol and the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced a plan to enhance cooperation between the law enforcement organizations in order to fight terrorism and cybercrime. The announcement came Sept. 23 after a high-level meeting between FBI Director James Comey and Interpol Secretary General Jürgen Stock in Lyon, France.
UN Security Council Resolution 2178 identifies Interpol as the global law enforcement information sharing' platform against foreign fighters, and as a result, more than 50 countries including the United States have provided information to Interpol about some 5,000 suspected and confirmed fighters linked to Syria and Iraq.
"International partnerships remain critical as we work to keep our nations safe from crime," said Comey. "Recent events underscore the pervasive nature of international terrorism and the increased need to share information. Interpol plays a crucial role by ensuring law enforcement agencies have access to real-time intelligence, which assists in identifying and countering common threats in order to protect those we serve."
"As we face an ever-increasing range and scope of crime and terror threats, international cooperation between law enforcement agencies has never been so important," Stock said. "Interpol plays a unique role in assisting police in each of our 190 member countries to identify and share intelligence leads, bridge information gaps, and disrupt the organized networks behind a range of crimes which are often interlinked. However, this is not possible without the support and input from agencies such as the FBI, and I look forward to our working even more closely in the future to the benefit of the global law enforcement community and citizens worldwide."


Once again, a Loft-Simson-provided chair has been used in a production shown on Channel 4. The Westminster 'Gala' or ornamental sedan chair was loaned for use in an episode of Britain's Most Historic Towns about Regency Cheltenham broadcast on Saturday 5th May 2018 at 8 pm. The chair can also be seen in the title sequence of other episodes of the six-part series.
Judging by the picture, the programme's presenter, Professor Alice Roberts, seems to have enjoyed the opportunity to view the world from this opulent and prestigious conveyance.
In an exciting collaboration with Redcliffe Films, Stephen Loft-Simson has provided three sedan chairs to be used in a production about the life of philanthropist poet and playwright Hannah More (1745-1833).
Here we see the chairs in action in some early clips from filming in Clifton in summer 2014. Mr Loft-Simson can be seen as one of the chairmen.
Hannah's life was varied and rich and she met many of the worthies of her age, from Wordsworth and Coleridge to Wilberforce and Gladstone. She was a friend of actor David Garrick until his death and her plays were performed in Bristol and Bath as well as Drury Lane in London. She also opened schools and wrote about women's education, among other social and political subjects.
Stephen Loft-Simson, shown here in a typical chairman's livery, assisted the BBC in the making of an introduction for the long-running flagship programme, The Antiques Roadshow, by carrying presenter Fiona Bruce through the streets of Bath to the Upper Assembly Rooms, where the programme was filmed.
Viewers saw Mr Loft-Simson as the front chairman leave Nº 1 The Royal Crescent and dash past many of the city's sights as he and a member of the BBC crew conveyed Ms Bruce to the venue in true eighteenth century style. The programme, which was broadcast on BBC1 on Sunday 31st January 2010, and was repeated on Sunday 22nd February also featured one of Mr Loft-Simson's antique sedan chairs which he provided for the occasion (probably the oldest means of transport still in occasional use in Britain).
The chair was in action in Bath again on the eve of the programme's transmission, when it and another were used to carry a bride and bridegroom from their reception at the Bath Priory Hotel.
Mr Loft-Simson has also provided consultancy and loaned a sedan chair for the BBC series How we Built Britain presented by David Dimbleby. He has also appeared with Sir Tony Robinson as part of Channel 4's first series Worst Jobs in History.

The Trouble With Portraying Sexuality
There's something that's been sitting on my mind for a while now, and I wasn't really aware of the cognitive dissonance until I had a recent discussion with a friend of mine. In feminism, a movement apparently in its third wave according to academics, yet still struggling to find a unified front on many issues, there is a bit of an issue when it comes to the public perceptions of female sexuality.
Basically, it boils down to two views. First, you have the idea that sexuality should not be shameful. Sex isn't something to shame people for having. Doing such can cause all sorts of psychological problems, first off. It's a completely natural process that, unlike most animals in the world, is enjoyable for recreational purposes and is not solely a procreational action.
Unfortunately, when it comes to shame over sex, women get the worst rap. We all probably know the double standard by now… men who have multiple partners are conquerors. They're virile. They're manly. They can hold their tally like a trophy, the quantity of their conquests far outweighing their abilities (or inabilities) in the bed itself. Meanwhile, women are to keep their sexual lives quiet. Women with multiple partners are sluts. Shameful. Dirty. Broken. In a weird twist, sometimes people that want to help protect women from being sexual victims apply the term "victim" all over the place, even when sex is fully consensual… because it's inconceivable for some people that a woman might seek out and desire sex. So, there's the faction that wants to eliminate sex as a dirty word and deed, particularly for women. If a woman wants to be a stripper, let her. If she wants to be a prostitute/escort (when legal), why not? If she wants to dress provocatively, she should be allowed without being called names, or seen as "asking for sex." Consent is different from how one dresses one's self.
But then, there's the other faction. The faction that says they're tired of women being objectified and seen as sexual pleasure units. That's tired of cleavage and boobs and butt on every single advertisement. That's tired of having products directed at women (and men) because of their chromosomal makeup. Tired of the media using tired, false gender narratives and tropes, like the damsel in distress. But, mostly, tired of just being deemed as sexual, being boiled down to physical bodies and sexual performances. Tired of being "Hot Girl #3" on the TV.
Now, some of these things are shared by both groups, like being tired of the tropes and the gendered products. But sometimes, even those things find fractions between the factions. Because, despite being feminists and desiring an equality between all genders and sexualities, there's just too many problems and not enough solutions.
It is definitely a problem that women exploring their sexualities are seen as sluts and looked down on. It is also definitely a problem that society demands sexual performance from women. It's a hypocrisy that continues to harm our social makeup where men expect sex from women, and women have the choice of either being degraded for complying or degraded for not complying. And then possibly being raped and blamed for it by society. It's not exactly a kind world for women today (and the scary thing is that it seems like it might be kinder than it once was).
I'll give an example of the disparity. In the BBC show "Sherlock," a show I find to be quite fantastic, in season 2 we were introduced to what is perhaps Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most infamous female character, Irene Adler. Appearing in "A Scandal In Bohemia," she is the one woman Sherlock Holmes has shown obvious affection and admiration for. To quote,
To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. […] And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
In the BBC show's re-imagining of the character, she was recreated as a dominatrix, using her wits and dominance in the bedroom to put powerful people in compromising positions and obtain information she hoped to use to her advantage. In her first meeting with Holmed, she introduced herself in the nude as an attempt to throw him off his game. It worked. …but this portrayal exemplifies exactly the difference in the factions.
On the one hand, there shouldn't be anything wrong with a woman willingly working in the sex industry. (We'll skip the discussions of abuse and slavery for now to make the discussion simpler, but I wouldn't count anyone coerced or forced into that industry in any fashion as working in it willingly.) There shouldn't be anything wrong with a woman using her body or sexuality for any (legal) reason, even to win a battle of wits against a certain private detective. However, some feel that being portrayed as a sex worker diminished the focus on Adler's mental acuity and ability as written originally by Doyle. It felt like a cheap gimmick, a typical jump in today's media to make the woman a sexual being, an object of pleasure.
This is, of course, not helped out at all by show-runner Steven Moffat's rather well-documented casual sexism and poor treatment of female characters in his other show, "Doctor Who."
Personally, I think the Adler character (unlike many of the women in "Doctor Who") was well done. The sexuality wasn't really a focus the way I saw it. It was never portrayed in a gaudy, ridiculous fashion. Rather, it was run as a counter to Sherlock's discomfort with the sensual, as sensuality requires physical and emotional responses that he has spent years ridding himself of for the sake of logic and reason. Others, like my friend, disagree.
The sad thing is, there's not really a way I can see out of this sort of conundrum. It seems perfectly obvious to me that both factions have absolutely correct and poignant points. Both of these hypocritical philosophies of our society (particularly American) are damaging. On their own, they're bad enough. Combined, they are a maelstrom of harm and sexism. And that's just for the women. It damages men, too, as does our portrayal of men in the media. So, should one aspect be focused on more than the other? Can both be fixed without a complete reset of social norms and ideals? Or is this something we will constantly be fighting against, one way or another?
I honestly have no idea what should be done about these problems, save this: We need to talk about them and realize they're problems. While we may not agree on the solutions, as long as we agree something is wrong, we can start to work toward answers. And since the world is full of people smarter than me, maybe the answer is just waiting for someone to mention the problem to the right person.

Seriously, Why Does The AFA Exist?
So, for those of you not keeping vigilant watch for news about the potential zombie uprising those dear sweet Mayans warned us of, recently, there was a freakish, zombie-esque news story making its way around the circuit. It is a pretty horrific story. No joke. So, queasy stomachs may want to avoid reading the next paragraph. Or, actually, this entire article if you're super queasy, because the gross gets mentioned a few times. It's important. Anyway…
Police in Miami shot a naked man. The naked man was eating another man's face.
Apparently, the man was potentially suffering from a psychosis brought on by drug use. It's a crazy, gruesome story about substance abuse going horrifically wrong and causing harm to a fellow human being.
Which is why I did a massive double take when I read this headline: American Family Association's Bryan Fischer Compares Gays To Face-Eating Cannibal.
If your reaction isn't "…huh?" then I'm confused. Or perhaps you're sleep-reading my blog. In which case, I appreciate the hits, but being awake is really more conducive to understanding my content.
Anyway, Fischer wrote a column on the AFA website in a segment called "Rightly Concerned." The title of the column is "Bryan Fischer: Its altogether right to discriminate against homosexual behavior." Yes, it says "its." Grammar fail. But I'm just being picky. The column fails at so much more than grammar.
First, there's an insinuation in the third paragraph that "leftists" can't be Christian, and making some very grand generalizations about all liberals based on a few isolated incidents. To be fair, people on both sides do stupid stuff like that, so moving on.
In the column, Fischer does rightly differentiate between sexuality and sexual activity, something so few people in the religious right do. The problem is that, in the column, he goes on to compare homosexual sexual activities to an onslaught of illegal activities as though they were equals.
"Public policy is about discriminating against behaviors that are socially destructive and corrosive to the social fabric. So, we rightly discriminate against people who rip off convenience stores, burgle houses, drive while drunk, eat the faces off homeless people, gun down servicemen on military bases, embezzle funds from employers or clients, or beat their wives. […] We discriminate against adults, even priests, who have sex with children. We discriminate against teachers who have affairs with students. We discriminate against teachers who moonlight in the porn industry. We discriminate against students who engage in sexting. We discriminate against rapists. We discriminate against those who expose sexual partners unknowingly to the AIDS virus. We discriminate against those adults who commit statutory rape against minors. We discriminate against homosexuals and prostitutes by refusing to allow them to give blood. The point is this: we discriminate against sexually immoral and inappropriate behavior all the time, and homosexual behavior is sexually immoral and inappropriate."
I'm going to look at this section piece by piece real fast.
"Public policy is about discriminating against behaviors that are socially destructive and corrosive to the social fabric."
That's not necessarily true. Public policy is about protecting the rights and livelihoods of the citizenry. An example I'm sure I'll bring up again: Speed limits. Annoying as speed limits can be, speeding is not "socially destructive" or whatnot. It's simply dangerous. Speed limits are in place to protect people.
"So, we rightly discriminate against people who rip off convenience stores,"
That's theft. Which harms others.
"burgle houses,"
Also theft.
"drive while drunk,"
Dangerous and harmful to others. To clarify, harmful to others means impedes their basic rights, like the right to live safely.
"eat the faces off homeless people, gun down servicemen on military bases,"
Speaking of living, them would be murder.
"embezzle funds from employers or clients,"
There's the fancy, white collar words for theft.
"or beat their wives."
And now we're just to violence against mankind.
"We discriminate against adults, even priests, who have sex with children."
Violates the idea of consent, since we have dictated that children are unable to consent to certain actions with full knowledge as some actions, particularly sex, are beyond their ken.
"We discriminate against teachers who have affairs with students."
Same as before.
"We discriminate against teachers who moonlight in the porn industry."
I think that one falls under corrupting the youth or something…
"We discriminate against students who engage in sexting."
…is sexting illegal? But, again, consent laws could be mentioned.
"We discriminate against rapists."
Definitely consent laws involved with this.
"We discriminate against those who expose sexual partners unknowingly to the AIDS virus."
This dude is on a consent kick. That's important. Also, this would be harm.
"We discriminate against those adults who commit statutory rape against minors."
Didn't he say that already?
"We discriminate against homosexuals and prostitutes by refusing to allow them to give blood."
We do indeed, and that's a load of crap, too.
"The point is this: we discriminate against sexually immoral and inappropriate behavior all the time, and homosexual behavior is sexually immoral and inappropriate."
Here's the thing: legal discrimination and the "discrimination" Fischer is talking about are different. Earlier in the column, he pulls the dictionary out to define discrimination as "making a distinction" or "using good judgment." I can discriminate, in that sense, between a fork and spoon as to which I should eat my soup with. But that doesn't make it okay to ban the use of forks in soup eating.
And here lies part of the problem: Pretty much all of the things Fischer mentioned are illegal because they infringe on the rights of others, or inherently lack the possibility of consent. Homosexual sexual acts between consenting adults, however, do no such thing. Further, the implications of that last sentence are that this legal discrimination (and yeah, he's suggesting a legal discrimination, as seen by the latter part of his column, suggesting a reinstatement of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the continuation of the Defense of Marriage Act) is based on sexually immoral and inappropriate behavior. Like all sexually immoral and inappropriate behavior should be discriminated against.
Like, say… adultery? And let's go by the Christian definition, which is ever sleeping with anyone if you get a divorce and your former spouse is still alive. Also included would be lust, adultery of the heart. Or, another one that isn't illegal: Premarital sex. And then you've got the Catholic twist on things: Sex using contraception. So, whose immorality clauses would be used anyway?
This argument lacks legal understanding, logical consistency, basic argumentative foundation… coherence… It's a ridiculous argument that, really, should be ignored. But because it's a leading member of the AFA, people listen.
What does the AFA do, exactly, but say dumb things and pretend to represent family values?
Let me tell you a family value: Love. And every time people talk about banning homosexuality or something related to it, they're talking about banning love. Not all the affected would be love, but love would be affected. Personally, I think we should take the AFA to task and do what should have been done long ago.
Ignore them and let them twist in the wind.

Nawaz Sharif To Leave Pakistan On Tuesday, Confirms PML-N
Home » Political Scoops » Nawaz Sharif To Leave Pakistan On Tuesday, Confirms PML-N
By Fatima Tahir
For the past year, Nawaz's imprisonment has been the point of disagreement between the government and the opposition. The demands for his NRO were raised which were consistently denied by the government. But recently he was given permission to leave the land for treatment abroad and in new developments, he will be leaving on Tuesday, says PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb.
According to the statement of the party's spokesperson issued today, on Tuesday morning an air ambulance will arrive to take Nawaz abroad. Lahore High Court (LHC) granted permission to the former premier of taking a four weeks medical treatment trip abroad. However, the extension of the duration of this trip will be based on medical reports.
Marium Aurangzeb further added that the doctors after a detailed examination of the health of Nawaz had consulted one another to make him fit for traveling. She also stated that Nawaz is under the process of being given a high dose of steroids. This to balance his low platelet count to make it suitable for his travel. Moreover, some medication will also be given to him to bring his high blood sugar to a lower level, meanwhile resolving other medical concerns too.
Nawaz's Name Taken Off ECL
The court issued an order to the Federal government. The order was to take Nawaz's name off the Exit Control List (ECL) without any conditions, This was done against the resistance that the government was holding. The government had demanded Nawaz to submit an indemnity bond worth over Rs7.5 billion. It was to be granted with one-time permission to travel abroad for medical treatment. But the condition was challenged in LHC which ended in being taken up.
This order was announced on Saturday. It was done by a two-judge bench of the high court around 5:45 pm. After the marathon proceeding that was heard in the presence of Shahbaz Sharif and other leaders of PML-N at 12:15 pm.
Marium Aurangzeb has requested the nation to pray for the well-being of Nawaz on his journey abroad.
This morning, Dr. Adnan Khan, Nawaz's personal physician, spoke on the ordeal. He stated that the PML-N leader has a flight scheduled within 48 hours. The leaders were going to London once his health is assured to be safe for air travel and is clinically stabilized.
Former PM #NawazSharif is scheduled to travel abroad, to London-UK, for medical treatment within 48 hours once he's clinically stabilised, made travel-worthy & is safe for air travel.
He will make the journey in a fully equipped & medically staffed Air Ambulance; arriving soon.
— Dr. Adnan Khan (@Dr_Khan) November 17, 2019
All the PML-N leaders had been striving to get the decision in favor of Nawaz for quite a long time. So, after the high court's order was issued Shahbaz hailed it saying that the prayers of everyone had been granted.

Shahbaz Signs Undertaking for Nawaz Sharif
Nawaz's younger brother and party president, Shahbaz Sharif signed an undertaking. According to which he will ensure the return of Nawaz within the given duration or as guided by the doctors, whenever he's fit to return.
"I further undertake to provide/send the periodical medical report of the doctor duly notarized by the embassy to the registrar of this court," claimed the undertaking.
"I also undertake that if at any stage, the federal government has credible information that Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif is living abroad despite his fitness to travel, a representative from Pakistan's High Commission would have a right to meet with his physician(s) to verify or confirm about his health."
Shahbaz has informed that he will be traveling alongside his brother and for now. They will be traveling to London but will further travel to wherever the doctor advise. Maryam Nawaz, Sharif's daughter will, however, remain in the country.

On the contrary, Attorney General Anwar Mansoor Khan spoke on the issue as well. He stated that Nawaz's family has been given too much relief. Further stating that he had been given special treatment.

Touted as the closest thing the video game industry has to the Oscars, The Game Awards is a US annual ceremony honouring achievements in the video game industry. For parents, this creates a really helpful list of brilliant games in two ways.
The Best Family Game category means that a huge amount of time spent nominating, assessing and judging games that specifically work for families. These include those that are age appropriate as well as those that offer new ways to enjoy gaming time together.
The Games with Impact category uncovers many games that parents wouldn't come across themselves. These are titles that will often be of interest for older players and parents themselves. They address important topics in unusual ways and are often games that mums and dads are surprised to want to play themselves.
The Best Independent Games category is useful as this includes games you may not have heard of. Also, because they are created by smaller team they are often more personal and about themes not included in other titles.
The Best Narrative category is also worth keeping an eye on as this includes games that tell good stories in unusual ways. Characters, worlds and plot combine in unique ways with the interactive nature of video games so that encountering a story in this way can be powerful, moving, playful or more long-lasting than other media.
We've spent the day leafing back through the different awards literature to compile this super-list of winners and nominations. It's a great place to start to find game for your family as well as games you will want to play yourself once the children are in bed or at school.

In 1986 Victor Emanuel Nature Tours (VENT) inaugurated its youth birding camp program with a two-week camp in southeastern Arizona, Camp Chiricahua. Nothing like this camp had ever been done, and the idea behind it was to connect young people more deeply to birds and nature and to other birders their age.
Every summer since then, VENT has conducted youth birding camps. These camps have been staffed by outstanding leaders who have been eager to share their enthusiasm and knowledge, among whom are some of the most respected people in modern birding including Victor Emanuel, Pete Dunne, Kenn Kaufman, Michael O'Brien, and Roger Tory Peterson. During the past 29 years over 400 young birders have attended these camps.
Many former campers have pursued careers in science, conservation, teaching and professional tour leading. Our camps have touched the lives of many young people; for some, attending a VENT youth birding camp has been a life-changing experience. We look forward to providing more programs for young birders.
BSBO is honored to join the VENT team and be part of this legacy.
ecosystems of Southeastern Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains.
Camp Chiricahua presents young birders with an extraordinary opportunity to share a mutual love of birds and nature in one of the greatest natural history locations in North America. The camp is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18 to become familiar with the flora and fauna of Southeast Arizona.
The primary focus of the camp is on the rich birdlife of the region, but we will also explore all aspects of nature, and spend time learning about habitats and ecosystems. Campers do not need to be expert birders, but should possess an interest in birds and nature.
Campers should expect to see most of the special birds of Southeast Arizona, including such sought-after species as Elegant Trogon, a good variety of hummingbirds, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, and Red-faced Warbler. Evening night drives will provide additional opportunities for mammals, reptiles, and insects.
Through the years, Camp Chiricahua has endured as a testament to VENT's dedication to employing nature as a vehicle for learning, and positively influencing the lives of young people. Many campers have gone on to successful careers in a variety of fields, and many of them cite their time spent at Camp Chiricahua as a defining event in their lives.
Long, learning-filled days emphasizing the region's birdlife and varied habitats; lots of hiking and camping; cool mornings and warm to hot days with afternoon thunderstorms.
Learn more about Camp Chiricahua on the Victor Emanuel Nature Tours Website.
Washington State's majestic Puget Sound and incomparable Mt. Rainier National Park.
Camp Cascades offers young birders between the ages of 14 and 18 the unique opportunity to experience the beautiful Pacific Northwest with their peers. Focusing on two spectacular parts of Washington State, the camp provides a comprehensive survey of the flora and fauna of the Puget Sound region and the dramatic Cascades Mountains.
Daily activities will be based around thorough exploration of each of the distinct regions we visit, and campers will be educated on all forms of nature. Several lengthy hikes, birding field trips, and discussions will complement free time during which campers will have the luxury of exploring and discovering their natural surroundings on their own or in small groups.
Campers should expect to witness some of the finest coastal and mountain scenery in North America. Along the shores of Puget Sound, we'll experience the renowned temperate rainforests—a mixture of mighty, ancient conifers and lush, riparian forest, often festooned in a fantastic living carpet of mosses, liverworts, and ferns. Amid the forests, glaciers, and tundra of Mt. Rainier National Park, we'll encounter magnificent vistas, plunging waterfalls, and meadows carpeted with wildflowers.
A sampling of the characteristic birds of the region includes Tufted Puffin, Rhinoceros Auklet, Marbled Murrelet, Harlequin Duck, Sooty Grouse, White-tailed Ptarmigan, Red-breasted Sapsucker, Varied Thrush, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, and Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch. Outstanding activities include hikes in ancient old-growth forests, a trip to the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, half-day hikes to spectacular Comet and Narada waterfalls in the national park, a hike on Mt. Rainier's Skyline Trail for more world-class alpine scenery, and a grand finale day-hike to Mount Fremont Lookout from the park's Sunrise area.
Long, learning-filled days emphasizing the region's distinct birdlife and habitats; lots of hiking and some camping; elevations range from sea level to 7,000 feet; cool mornings and mild days with some precipitation possible.

Smelling this could indicate that there are slipping drive belts or misplaced loose hoses that could be rubbing against something else. Do not reach in if the engine compartment is hot because you will definitely get burnt.
If you smell this, it could mean that oil is leaking where it shouldn't be, like in the exhaust system. To check and see if this is what's happening, look for oil on the pavement under your car or smoke coming from your engine.
Don't just brush off the smell of gasoline. While sometimes it can get on you or your car when filling up at the pump, it could be a sign of a gas leak. No matter what it is, it could be a fire hazard, so please do not delay in getting this checked out!
Unless you're making pancakes in your car, this smell shouldn't be there. Your car could be leaking engine coolant. Don't open the radiator cap when it is hot to avoid injury.
This smell is definitely a safety hazard and can signal brake trouble. Make sure to have your brakes checked right away, especially if you notice the smell during a regular drive.
This aroma is never pleasant and you definitely don't want to smell it coming from your car. It could be a problem with the catalytic converter. It could also be because your engine is running poorly.
If you smell any of these strange odors that definitely don't belong, make an appointment with us to have your vehicle checked out! You can make an appointment online or by calling us at (651) 457-5757.
