Hummingbirds are a beloved and charismatic creature of the America's, the more than 350 species of hummingbirds have coevolved with the flora of the Americas for millions of years. For this fourth week in our series of 5 episodes on our gardens as important habitat and we gardeners as important stewards of land and biodiversity, we check in on the state of things for the Hummingbird. Cultivating Place is joined in this by Dr. Susan Wethington, research scientist, Program Developer and Executive Director of the Hummingbird Monitoring Network, based in Arizona. "Hummingbirds are unique in that every culture that lives with hummingbirds has a positive interaction with hummingbirds and it seems to me that if we can maintain hummingbird diversity in this world - because we all love them - then we have a chance to maintain biodiversity in other species that are so critical in our functioning natural world. That if we can let one animal into our hearts - the others can follow." Dr. Susan Wethington, Executive Director, The Hummingbird Network The hummingbirds are among our smallest of birds, but our largest – and of course avian – pollinators. These little birds, many of which migrate vast distances, need to drink more than their body weight in nectar every day, and are voracious and effective insectivore. Having co-evolved with the native flora of the Americans – including with the vast diversity of salvias, penstemons, lobelia, agastache, manzanitas, honeysuckles and more – they love nothing more than beautiful flowering native or other nectar/pollen rich plants in our gardens to help them on their way. Listen in! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years, and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations.

"We put so many different things in our bodies now. I think the cleaner we eat, the better we are." —Shareen Davis   Our oceans are an incredibly valuable resource— home to some of the world's most majestic and diverse marine life. Unfortunately, our current fishing systems continue to threaten the health and balance of our aquatic ecosystems.   That's why sustainable fishing is a vital practice for the preservation of our water resources. It helps to protect endangered species, reduce bycatch, and create more sustainable seafood supplies. Additionally, it promotes ocean health, improves the livelihoods of fishing communities, and reduces environmental damage from overfishing. By taking steps to implement sustainable fishing practices in our fisheries communities, we can help make a difference for future generations.   Chatham Harvesters is a cooperative that harvests and sells Cape Cod seafood. By utilizing their resources and implementing innovative strategies to empower the local fishing community, they have been able to create a sustainable business model that benefits everyone involved. This proves that sustainable seafood practices are possible when there is a collective effort.    In this episode, we will take a look at the innovative initiatives that Chatham Harvesters has implemented to promote sustainability and how they empower the local fishing community. Justine and Shareen also discuss the challenges of sustainably managing fishing and marine resources, the importance of economic empowerment for fishermen, the difference between eating local catch vs farm-raised seafood, and how to bridge the gap between local farmers and the community. Meet Shareen: Shareen has years of experience in seafood consulting, visual art, and writing. Through her work and writing, she aims to provide insight into the issues facing our local fishing communities. She also hopes to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability in our food system and help people understand how they can make a difference.   Shareen also serves as the Program Developer and Cook at Chatham Harvesters, a cooperative that is owned and operated by fishermen themselves. Their mission is to build community involvement in local fishing while ensuring that consumers receive quality local seafood at reasonable prices. To achieve these goals, they focus on increasing access to abundant species markets, educating the public about cleanly harvesting whole animals from fisheries, and creating collective economic stability.   LinkedIn   Connect with Chatham Harvesters: Website Facebook Instagram YouTube Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 00:53 Reconnecting Seafood Loving Communities to Local Catch 04:00 Local Catch vs. Farm-Raised Fish 10:38 Connecting Fishermen and the Community 15:04 The Fair Price Conversation 21:26 Crafting a Business Model That Benefits All

GUEST: Health & Performance Coach, Breathing Specialist, Moxy CTC and Program Developer, Hatha Yoga Instructor - Institute of Inner Science, Hockey Coach Advanced Level 1, Honors Fitness and Nutrition, Aboriginal Education Teacher Brian has many years of experiential learning seeking out experts in all fields to share ideas and 'play' - meaning increasing perception & clarity for all. Brian: "Since I can remember, my favorite word is why? This seeking to know through experience led me to a JR A Hockey Championship with Orland Kurtenbach, a great hockey coach mentor, the person who taught me 'what it takes to win' and to a realization: that what I think I know is but a drop in the bucket. Thus the ever-evolving student emerged, learning new skills to better train athletes and coach hockey, plus search for new mentors...which led me to Juerg Feldmann. Juerg introduced me to leading-edge technology and 'how to play at a new level' - integrating technology, health, and performance. I then took a so-called left turn and immersed myself in Classical Hatha Yoga at the Isha Ashram in southern India to learn eastern Yogic ideas on the physical, mental/emotional and energy. Back in North America, I began a 2-year search for a 'new Juerg' to work with...to share ideas, argue, assess and ultimately to share with all - I found not one, but two :) Aaron Davis & Patrick Estes” EPISODE LINKS: ► IG: https://www.instagram.com/next_levelsp/ ► Full Videl Episode: PODCAST INFO: ► Podcast website: https://upsidestrength.podbean.com/ ► Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/3mroiB4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/34jJtyX PODCAST PLAYLISTS: ► Full episodes playlist: http://bit.ly/3oSCkxe ► English Clips playlist: http://bit.ly/3gRmAry ► French Clips playlist: http://bit.ly/2K1IoVK TOPICS: 0:00 - Intro 0:58 - Start 7:58 - Hockey performance assessment 23:15 - Survival training 40:05 - Optimal recovery time 53:15 - Breathing and CO2 1:15:25 - Mistakes using Moxy 1:17:25 INTRO 1:37:45 - Book project CONNECT: ► Subscribe for more videos here: http://bit.ly/1Xgr5y5 ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/seanseale ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanseale/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/upsidestrength ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/upsidestrength ► Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSgNAPQF/ EQUIPMENT & PROMOTIONS: ▶︎ Spirometer: http://ebay.to/2YCcSBj ▶︎ Idiag P-100: https://www.idiag.ch/en/idiag-p100-en/ (email me at info@upsidestrength.com for a 20% discount code) ▶︎ Moxy Monitor (email me at info@upsidestrength.com for a 20% discount code) ▶︎ Strength Coach Network: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/upside/?orid=15781 (50% off on your first month) DISCLAIMER: ► These descriptions usually contain affiliate links.

TAKEAWAYS – Life. Lessons. Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others. The last time we shared a NAIOP Program Takeaways was February 2020. We’re back!! This is the first in a series of 3 episodes covering the January, February, and March NAIOP Programs. They all tie together like a Netflix series. But before we get into all that, I am delighted to introduce my co-host MARIANNA HUNNICUTT with KIMLEY HORN. More on Marianna at the intro in this episode. We spend the first few minutes talking about all the plates the NAIOP Programs Committee spins each month to organize the most dynamic, timely and relevant programs in the commercial real estate industry. If you want to skip to the actual programs recap jump to 17:05. The program was fire! As the kids say these days. The title was Developer Roundtable – A 2021 Kickoff. The sponsor that morning was COMPASS DEVELOPMENT. The developers included: • Reed Gottesman, Harsch Investment Properties • Jeff LaPour, LaPour • Rod Martin, Majestic Realty Co. • John Ramous, Dermody Properties • Jim Stuart, Matter Real Estate Group We did things a little differently for this program. Instead of assigning someone as moderator we just let the Developers talk to each other. The result was a rich conversation that covered a spectrum of topics from the status of the restaurant industry to scarcity of land. What were some of the Takeaways? • What are the critical differences from Southern Nevada to neighboring/competing markets? • How the history of institutional capital (or lack of) is surprising for a market like Las Vegas? • Why are land constraints such a big deal? I hope you enjoy! You can find Takeaways at any of the links below: • APPLE PODCAST • STITCHER • GOOGLE PODCAST • SOUNDCLOUD • STITCHER Thank you for listening!

Health & Performance Coach, Breathing Specialist, Moxy CTC and Program Developer, Hatha Yoga Instructor - Institute of Inner Science, Hockey Coach Advanced Level 1, Honors Fitness and Nutrition, Aboriginal Education TeacherBrian has many years of experiential learning seeking out experts in all fields to share ideas and 'play' - meaning increasing perception & clarity for all.Brian: "Since I can remember, my favorite word is why? This seeking to know through experience led me to a JR A Hockey Championship with Orland Kurtenbach, a great hockey coach mentor, the person who taught me 'what it takes to win' and to a realization: that what I think I know is but a drop in the bucket. Thus the ever-evolving student emerged, learning new skills to better train athletes and coach hockey, plus search for new mentors...which led me to Juerg Feldmann. Juerg introduced me to leading-edge technology and 'how to play at a new level' - integrating technology, health, and performance. I then took a so-called left turn and immersed myself in Classical Hatha Yoga at the Isha Ashram in southern India to learn eastern Yogic ideas on the physical, mental/emotional and energy. Back in North America, I began a 2-year search for a 'new Juerg' to work with...to share ideas, argue, assess and ultimately to share with all - I found not one, but two :) Aaron Davis & Patrick Estes"Links:https://www.evolvehp.lifehttps://www.Nextlevelsp.cahttps://www.instagram.com/next_levelsphttps://www.twitter.com/Next_LevelSP http://linkedin.com/in/brian-kozak-5527a15bTopics:0:00 - Intro0:38 - Start0:51 - Brian’s Background5:38 - Juerg’s system9:28 - NIRS technology14:58 - 17 seconds (plus/minus 3)23:58 - Respiratory training36:38 - The importance of breathing42:08 - The role of the axial skeleton in breathing mechanics57:38 - Recovery breathing 1:20:08 - Nasal breathing1:28:38 - How do you breathe properly1:39:03 - Where to start with respiratory trainingFull Video Interview: https://youtu.be/21dlkz0Qe6U

Horse ridding and barn culture? Why those of us who love it love it so much? Our special guest today, Kimberly Terrana will tell us all about horses and ridding.    Kimberly runs a rescue organization privately funded that has rescued fifty horses thus far. She is a horse trainer and has worked in the industry for many many years, since childhood. Her story is inspirational and full of passion.    " We have the responsibility to everyone around us, including our peers. Animals depend on us for everything, so we need to teach that in our homes. Our children are the future." - Kimberly Terrana    No animal is a throw away, if you have a gold fish see that animal's life through.Disposing it by flushing it down the toilet should never be an option.    Show Resources   Take Action : Feed A Horse    Call on behalf of Kimberly and St John's Ridding Stables and make a contribution of feed to the horses    Ponchatula Feed 985-386-3506   Tractor Supply La Place 985-340-2880   Sponsor a horse on a monthly basis by making an on-going contribution or a one time contribution via PayPal to nolafit@gmail.com   Book a private riding lesson with Kimberly or a birthday party by calling or texting 985-379-6454   St John's Ridding Stables on FB    https://www.facebook.com/St.Johnridingstables/   Mardi Gras Parade Horses, Like My Horse Jazz, They Need A Forever Home    https://wgno.com/2018/02/13/clock-is-ticking-for-mardi-gras-parade-horses/   https://www.wideopenpets.com/former-mardi-gras-parade-horses-looking-homes-new-orleans/   Episode's Research    “The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.” –  Dr. Paul Farm How old are horses on average when they retire? Some of the greatest Thoroughbred racehorses, including Seabiscuit and Man O' War, raced for only two years before retiring. Others, like 16-consecutive race winner Cigar, continued racing as a 5-year-old, but for the most part a horse's racing life will last perhaps three or four years. How many horses die on racetracks because they’ve been drugged to perform past their limits? The New York Times found that 24 horses a week died at American tracks, a rate much greater than in countries where drug use for hoses is severely restricted. How many bred Thoroughbreds make it to a race? Thousands of Thoroughbreds are bred for racing every year.  Depending on the country, only 5% to 10% ever see a racecourse.  What happens to the others? Unless they are lucky enough to find another career, they are disposed of, typically at a slaughterhouse (the USA ships horses to Canada for slaughter). What can happen to a Thoroughbred after they retire? Champion racehorses are often retired early, becoming what’s known as a “stud horse.” When a former racehorse begins a second career as a stud horse, it means his owner gets paid for the horse to breed with mares, the goal being to potentially produce new race-winning foals. This can be extremely demanding for the stallion, who may need to perform multiple times a day, but can be very lucrative for the horse’s owners, who can earn thousands of dollars for just one visit. Some retired racehorses are lucky enough to be picked up by trainers or rescuers who put a lot of time and training into them to give them a new career. But most are not so lucky. Many will end up at auctions while some are sold directly to kill buyers or dealers. These horses will ship directly to slaughter with a very slim chance of being saved. In the United States, where horse slaughter was outlawed in 2007, an estimated 120,000 horses (Thoroughbreds and others) were exported to Canada for slaughter in 2009. In 2017, the number dropped to 78,857 horses slaughtered per year. In total, an estimated two-thirds of all Thoroughbred race horses are euthanized, slaughtered or abandoned once they're retired from racing. What are some of the malpractices in the industry? Drugging: There are many drugs that are given to horses against their will (since they don’t have a voice to make decisions or fight back) in order to mask their pain and keep them racing longer, even though it leads to faster, more traumatizing injuries - which when they surface will end the horse’s career and send them to the auction/slaughterhouse for their meat. Former Thoroughbred veterinarians say that the  medications most often abused are pain-killers, anti-bleeding medications and anti-inflammatory drugs, including cortical steroids injected directly into joints The indiscriminate use of legal therapeutic drugs often “masks” injuries and can lead to fatal breakdowns during training or racing. Horses have been known to have as many as 750x the legal limit for painkillers in their legs. Trained too young: Horses don’t stop growing until they are six years old.  The Kentucky Derby races three-year olds. Horses need about a year of training and then a year in which they are raced so they can qualify for the Derby. Do the math - this means they they are ridden at less than a year old! Yearlings are horribly juvenile, both in the mind and body. Training these horses much, much too early puts an undue amount of stress on their legs and ankles, which leads to breakdowns when they are young, and early lameness when they are older. The biggest issue is that the breeders don’t care. As long as the horse is fast for a short amount of time, they will continue to breed horses with physical defects and breeders will continue to race horses without any consideration for the horses’ welfare. Nurse Mare Foals: In this horrible, unconscionable practice, an expensive mare’s foal is taken from her and given to a “nurse mare” so she can be bred again immediately. For a mare to take a nurse foal, she must be bred so she will give milk. Her biological foal is then taken from her at approximately a week old, sometimes killed immediately, sometimes slowly starved to death so his hide can be used for leather. In this practice: Two foals are being taken from their mothers within days of their births One foal is brutally, needlessly killed. The other foal is raised by a surrogate mother, who is constantly bred and has to go through the emotional pain of having her foal taken from her, year after year after year. The more “expensive” mare is bred over and over as well, which is very difficult on her physically. She also goes through the emotional turmoil of having her babies taken from her every single year. Using drugs to make sure they are born early in the year: Every Thoroughbred horse in the Northern Hemisphere has the same birthday. No matter what month a Thoroughbred is born, its birthday falls on January 1. (The universal birthday is August 1 in the Southern Hemisphere.) This makes it easier to keep track of Thoroughbred horses' bloodlines; the rule was created by the organizations dedicated to regulating the Thoroughbred breed. It also makes it easier for racing purposes. Thoroughbred races aren't open to colts (male horses under age 5) and fillies (females under age 5) until age 2, and some races, like the famed Kentucky Derby, are only open to 3-year-olds. But this presents some problems. This means that a foal -- a newborn or nursing horse -- born on December 31 will turn one the following day. A 1-day-old 1-year-old won't have as much training and maturity and therefore won't compete as well against older horses that are considered the same age. As a result, horse buyers tend to shy away from horses born late in the year, which in turn means that horse breeders do everything they can to ensure their foals are born in the first half of the year. This has led to interventions like drugs and the use of artificial light to keep the reins tight over Thoroughbred reproduction. Whipped and isolated: The horses are constantly whipped to keep them moving, and when not training/racing are kept confined and isolated up to 23 hours each day. For  2-year-olds that haven’t even run yet be euthanized in a dirt pit at the back of the racetrack because somebody trained them too hard, medicated them too much, pushed them too far.” How can you personally help? Do not support the horse racing industry in any way, shape or form. Educate yourself and others about the treatment of horses used for entertainment purposes. Support your local rescues and sanctuaries. If you are in the position, attend an auction and help save the unwanted horses before they end up in the hands of a kill buyer and ultimately on the trailer heading to slaughter. What else can we do about it? Separate the Jockey Club from the Thoroughbred Registry Require Medical Records to Follow the Horse Right now, a horse can be diagnosed with a devastating injury but the owners can sell the horse to a new owner without disclosing any information. The horse can be raced or made to compete with an injury that can cause permanent lameness. This situation is horrible for the horse and for the new owners who now have a lame horse. The horse often ends up at auction, which is the slaughter pipeline. Drug Test Every Horse, Every Race Register Every Horse End the Practice of Nurse Mare Foals
