  Podcast Summary Unlock the secrets of the resilient beach plum, Prunus maritima, and learn how these tenacious plants help fight coastal erosion while offering a rich tapestry of horticultural history. We'll transport you back to the days of early explorers like Giovanni da Verrazzano and Henry Hudson, who first documented these hardy shrubs along the northeastern United States coast. Join us as we uncover how beach plums have long intrigued cultivators due to their genetic diversity, presenting challenges and opportunities that have persisted since the 19th century. Meet the unsung heroes of beach plum cultivation from the 1930s, including Jay Milton Batchelor, Wilford Wheeler, and George Graves, who championed unique varieties with passion and humor. We'll explore the historical significance of the Cape Cod Beach Plum Growers Association and discover the quirky connections between its founders, the environmental elements they studied, and the playful coincidences they encountered. Through stories filled with both horticultural insight and wit, we celebrate the legacy of these dedicated individuals who refused to let the allure of the beach plum fade into obscurity. Journey with us into the renewed interest and research of the early 2000s, led by institutions like Cornell and UMass and other researchers. We highlight their efforts to identify and preserve the best beach plum varieties and their commitment to maintaining genetic diversity. As we wrap up, we'll share amusing anecdotes about the lengths enthusiasts might go to obtain cuttings and encourage listeners to join forums and online communities to ensure these unique cultivars thrive for future generations.   For sources, transcripts, and to read more about this subject, visit: www.agroecologies.org To support this podcast, join our patreon for early, commercial-free episode access at https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac For PPA Writing Content, visit: www.agroecologies.org For PPA Restoration Content, visit: www.restorationagroecology.com For PPA Merch, visit: www.poorproles.com For PPA Native Plants, visit: www.nativenurseries.org To hear Tomorrow, Today, our sister podcast, visit: www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/   Key Words: Beach Plums, Prunus maritima, Coastal Erosion, Horticultural History, Early Explorers, Genetic Diversity, Cultivation, Cultivators, Giovanni da Verrazzano, Henry Hudson, Northeastern United States, Jay Milton Batchelor, Wilford Wheeler, George Graves, Cape Cod Beach Plum Growers Association, Environmental Elements, Dr. Uwe, Dr. Abigail Maynard, Cornell, UMass, Genetic Diversity, Cultivars, Yukon 49, Jersey Gem, Forums, Social Media, Cataloging, Genetics

New York's Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is 13,700 feet long. Comedian, Rifftrax star, and MST3K alum Bill Corbett is at most six feet long, maybe even a little less. Still, Bill has a lot more to say about the bridge than the bridge can say about him because bridges can't talk. Bill's funnier too, by a lot, whereas the bridge has its own strengths like 13 lanes of traffic to Bill's none. Bill, a native New Yorker, fills us in at great length about New York's second most famous bridge, the Andrew Ridgely of bridges, really, the Andrew Bridgely so to speak in a long and sleepiness-inducing conversation that also veers into discussion of the Texas rock boogie band ZZ Top, who may have crossed over the bridge at some point, we just can't really tell. Bill and the bridge both debuted in the 1960s, a fact that doesn't come up.Go to Rifftrax.com for Bill's hilarious film commentaries with fellow Mystery Science Theater 3000 friends.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at:  sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsTwitter @SleepWithCelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Twitter @johnmoe.John's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member.

One of the great quests of the 16th century was to find a northwest passage—a shortcut from Europe to Asia. Such a route would go through or above the lands of the New World. No one ever found it because there isn't one. But the search gave European mapmakers and scientists a lot of information about the North American coastline.One example was a search that reached the coast 500 years ago. Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano convinced the king of France to sponsor a search for the northwest passage. The expedition set sail in January of 1524. It reached the coast in March, near Cape Fear, North Carolina.Verrazzano sailed south for a while, but stopped before he reached Florida, which was claimed by Spain. He then headed north. Over the next few months, he cruised past present-day New York, New England, and toward Canada.During that time, he and his crew became the first Europeans to see what are now known as New York Harbor, Block Island, and Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Verrazzano also bestowed Old World names on many of the features he saw.His accounts of the journey helped mapmakers begin to craft maps of that part of the American coastline. Verrazzano also became convinced that everything he saw was part of a single vast continent—with no way through it.Verrazano visited the New World two more times. He was killed during an encounter with the natives of one of the Caribbean islands during the last visit, in 1528.

jarasaseasongi - muzyczne historie

W jarasaseasongach było już o emigracji norweskiej, irlandzkiej, kolonialnych zdobyczach Brytyjczyków. Czas na Francuzów i ich zamorskie przygody. Pierwszym przyczółkiem francuskiego imperium kolonialnego były tereny leżące na wschodzie dzisiejszej Kanady. Tam w 1604 roku dotarł z grupą 79 osadników Pierre Du Gua de Mons. Po roku przygód założył z towarzyszami miasto Port Royal, które przez wiele lat było stolicą późniejszej kolonii o wdzięcznej nazwie Akadia. Nazwa nawiązywała do Greckiej Arkadii i była wymyślona 80 lat wcześniej przez Giovanniego de Verrazzano, włoskiego odkrywcę służącego królowi Francji. W Akadii od samego początku działo się. Du Gua po zakwestionowaniu przez francuskich kupców jego monopolu na handel zabrał swoich osadników z powrotem do Francji. Koloniści wrócili po trzech latach. Wkrótce większość francuskich osadników wypędził Samuel Argall, awanturnik z Wirginii. Później przybyli osadnicy szkoccy. W połowie XVII wieku Akadię podbili Anglicy i od tego czasu kolonia co kilka lat przechodziła z rąk do rąk. Wojny francusko angielskie wybuchały co jakiś czas. Ostatecznie w połowie XVIII wieku górą byli Anglicy, zmienili nazwę kolonii na Nowa Szkocja i zażądali od Akadyjczyków deklaracji lojalności. Mimo złożenia takowej przez Akadyjczyków Gubernator Charles Lawrence wydał rozkaz ich deportacji. W latach 1755 – 1762 kilka tysięcy Akadyjczyków drogą morska wysłano do kolonii angielskich leżących wzdłuż wschodniego wybrzeża Ameryki Północnej. Duża część z nich trafiła do Luizjany i osiedliła się w delcie Mississippi, na obszarze dzisiejszej Luizjany, gdzie już w 1673 roku przybyli pierwsi francuscy osadnicy z Bretonii, Normandii i Ile-de-France. Kiedy w połowie XVIII wieku dołączyli do nich wygnańcy z Akadii, Akadianie, zaczęto tak sformowaną francusko-języczną grupę etniczną nazywać Cajun czyli Kajunowie. A w zasadzie nie całą. Mieszkańców Luizjany mieszkających w miastach, w większości nie pochodzących z Akadii nazwano Kreolami (dziś tak nazywa się również czarnoskórych mieszkańców Luizjany) Dziś Kajunowie zasiedlają głównie bagienne lasy cypryśnikowe w delcie Mississippi, zwane Bayou. Stworzyli niepowtarzalną kulturę i język będący dialektem francuskiego z domieszką hiszpańskiego i włoskiego i wymową często przypominającą angielski. Unikalna jest ich muzyka. Dominują w niej akordeon i skrzypce, w tle słychać trójkąt (sic), melodie są proste, wpadające w ucho. Wywodzi się z francuskich ballad ale dziś dominują w niej utwory taneczne, często o charakterze walca. W takim środowisku wyrastała Christine Balfa. Jej ojciec Dewey Balfa grał na skrzypcach w zespole The Balfa Brothers. Dewey zaraził córkę miłością do muzyki i tradycji. Christine jest założycielką organizacji non-profit Louisiana Folk Roots, której misją jest zachowanie i promowanie kultury kajuńskiej i kreolskiej. No i przede wszystkim Christina stworzyła zespół Balfa Toujours. Z mężem, Dirkiem Powellem, napisała zaś przepiękną pieśń - Deux Voyages, którą oddali hołd ojcu Christiny i jego przodkom. Rodzina Christiny przywędrowała w XIX wieku nad Mississippi ze Szkocji przez Karolinę Północną i jak wiele innych zasymilowała się z Kajunami. Piosenka opowiada o podróży przodków Christiny do Ameryki oraz o podróży Christiny do kraju ojców (nie wiem czy podroż tę odbyła w rzeczywistości czy tylko literacko ale odbyła). A dzieła Christiny posłuchamy w wykonaniu pieśniarza folkowego, Tima O'Briana. Tim nagrał w 2001 roku płytę, na której umieścił utwór Two Journeys i taki tytuł nadał całej płycie. Płyta opowiada o emigracji, mieszaniu kultur, pokazuje wpływ muzyki celtyckiej na muzykę amerykańską. A „Dwie podróże”, w dwóch językach francuskim i angielskim śpiewa ze stryjeczną wnuczką Deweya Balfy - Courtney Granger. Audycja zawiera utwory: “Lacassine Special” (w tle), wyk. Sammy Naquin, muzyka: trad.  "Two Journeys" ,wyk. Tim O'Brian z zespołem, słowa i muzyka: Christine Balfa i Dirk Powell. @jarasaseasongi znajdziesz na facebooku i YouTube :-)

On August 28, 1587, John White, the leader of the last Roanoke Colony, climbed on board Edward Spicer's flyboat and returned to England. His mandate was to secure supplies and more settlers to reinforce the people he had left behind, who included his own daughter and granddaughter, Eleanor and Virginia Dare.  He would not in fact be able to return for almost three years, by which time the roughly 116 colonists back in North Carolina had vanished completely, leaving behind only scant clues. White would take three years to return because an undeclared but existential war had broken out between England and Spain, known to history as the Anglo-Spanish War of 1585-1604. The war was existential not for England the country – had Philip II and Spain won the war, England would have continued to exist as a country, and in their daily lives most English people would have seen very little change. Philip II would have become King of England, as he had already been years before during his marriage to Mary Tudor, and the liturgy at church on Sunday would have changed in ways that we moderns would have regarded as hilariously trivial.  However, the war was existential for Elizabeth I and her Protestant elite who, among other things, sustained English naval power and supported North American colonization. It is very hard to imagine that an England ruled by Philip II and an entirely different batch of nobles, Catholic “recusants” emerged from the political shadows, would have settled North America.  Nor would there have been successful Protestant Dutch settlement, because the defeat of Elizabeth would also have meant the end of Dutch Protestantism as a political force. The city in that harbor discovered by Verrazzano more than sixty years before would more likely have been New Seville or New Lisbon than New Amsterdam or New York. Fortunately, the English had Sir Francis Drake, who in the spring of 1587 would raid the Spanish port of Cadiz and occupy Sagres roadstead off Cape St. Vincent, destroying more than 100 Spanish and Portuguese ships and boats and much of the supplies for the Spanish Armada. And then he would go on to grab a Portuguese treasure ship that would substantially bolster Elizabeth's finances just when she needed it most.

A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Did you know that Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano explored the Rhode Island coast line in 1524? That was 112 years before Roger Williams arrived. If you feel inclined, you can still visit Verrazzano's family home in Tuscany. Now, we turn our feature story A pelican that got blown off course and was rescued in chilly Connecticut has been flown to Florida, where he is recovering from pneumonia and frostbite. The brown pelican, nicknamed Arvy, was rescued from the icy Connecticut River on Jan. 27. The bird, whose species is not typically seen in the Northeast, was taken to a bird rehabilitation facility in Killingworth, Connecticut, suffering from severe hypothermia. Christine Cummings, president of A Place Called Hope, told TV station WTNH: 'when Arvy first arrived, this poor bird couldn't even stand, couldn't lift his head,”. Cummings cared for the wayward bird nearly around the clock for about a week, feeding him fluids and food every three hours. The shorebird consumed some 4 pounds of fish daily with its 11-inch bill. Then on Thursday, volunteer pilots flew Arvy to his new home at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter, Florida, where he will continue recuperating until he is well enough to be released into the wild. Stephanie Franczak, the sanctuary's hospital director said that “Arvy looks good!” “His frostbite is minimal, but he has some wicked pneumonia from the cold. We will be providing fluid therapy, nebulizing treatments and supportive care while he is with us." His rescuers believe Arvy was blown north from Virginia Beach during a storm at sea. Carolina Young, spokesperson for the Florida sanctuary provided her assessment: “He is a Southern bird, he is not supposed to be north of the Carolinas and Virginia,” “I'm sure he was in shock when he was in that river.” To read the latest on this story and to see pictures of Arvy, head over to westerleysun.com.  There are a lot of businesses in our community that are hiring right now, so we're excited to tell you about some new job listings.

Russian Angora We have been doing a series about the Angora breeds, and I have been trying to cover all of them. One of the Angora’s is the Russian Angora. I started looking for any information about the breed. I was able to find that there were a few studies done about the breed, so that meant that it had to be out there somewhere. One of the studies was the Adaptability of Russian Angora Rabbits in semi arid tropics in the Official journal of the World Rabbit Science Association (WRSA) The summary of the studies was Russian Angora rabbits raised under semi arid conditions during 1982-1985 had average kindling % of 58.7. The average litter size at birth and at weaning (6 weeks) were 5.68 and 3.62 respectively. Body weight at birth 6, 12 and 24 weeks were 55 g, 536 g, 1.17 kg and 2.61 kg and 54 g, 536 g, 1.19 kg and 2.64 kg. The first group of data corresponds to males and the second to females. The wool was clipped firstly at 3 months of age and then at quarterly intervals. The wool yield showed steady increase with the age and was highest in the fourth clip: 40g/clip at 3 months and 60g/clip for adults on average. The wool yield in young as well as in adult rabbits was lowest in June clip (-36%/general mean). The influence of age, years and season of clip were significant (P 0.01) while the sex difference were non significant. The breeding of Russian angora rabbits was discontinued after 1985 due to appearance of a genetic disorder "Retarded Wool Syndrome" which cause significant loss in wool yield. It was probably due to inbreeding in a small population coupled with adverse effect of hot climate. Then I found that the Russian word for rabbit was Coney. Russian Cony Hair Cony, also spelled coney, is a term used to refer to several different unrelated animals, but in the fur industry is typically indicative of rabbit fur. Indeed, though this common name for the rabbit is falling out of favor in modern times, it was once widely utilized and was, in fact, the origin of the name of Coney Island, a location where settlers found large rabbit populations. Cony or coney - a rabbit, or the fur of a rabbit. Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north. Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s. The original Native American inhabitants of the region, the Lenape, called this area Narrioch. This name has been attributed the meaning of "land without shadows"[5] or "always in light"[6] describing how its south facing beaches always remained in sunlight. A second meaning attributed to Narrioch is "point" or "corner of land". The first documented European name for the island is the Dutch name Conyne Eylandt or Conynge Eylandt. This would roughly be equivalent to Konijn Eiland using modern Dutch spelling, meaning Rabbit Island. The name was anglicized to Coney Island after the English took over the colony in 1664, coney being the corresponding English word. There are several alternative theories for the origin of the name. One posits that it was named after a Native American tribe, the Konoh, who supposedly once inhabited it. Another surmises that Conyn was the surname of a family of Dutch settlers who lived there. Yet a third interpretation claims that "Conyne" was a distortion of the name of Henry Hudson's second mate on the Halve Maen, John Colman, who was slain by natives on the 1609 expedition and buried at a place they named Colman's Point, possibly coinciding with Coney Island. History - Early settlement Giovanni da Verrazzano was the first European explorer to discover the island of Narrioch during his expeditions to the area in 1527 and 1529. He was subsequently followed by Henry Hudson. The Dutch established the colony of New Amsterdam in present-day Coney Island in the early 17th century. The Native American population in the area dwindled as the Dutch settlement grew and the entire southwest section of present-day Brooklyn was purchased in 1645 from the Native Americans in exchange for a gun, a blanket, and a kettle. In 1644, a colonist named Guysbert Op Dyck was given a patent for 88 acres of land in the town of Gravesend, on the southwestern shore of Brooklyn. The patent included Conyne Island, an island just off the southwestern shore of the town of Gravesend, as well as Conyne Hook, a peninsula just east of the island. At the time of European settlement, the land that makes up the present-day Coney Island was divided across several separate islands. All of these islands were part of the outer barrier on the southern shore of Long Island, and their land areas and boundaries changed frequently. Only the westernmost island was called Coney Island; it currently makes up part of Sea Gate. At the time, it was a 1.25-mile shifting sandspit with a detached island at its western end extending into Lower New York Bay. In a 1679–1680 journal, Jasper Danckaerts and Peter Sluyter noted that "Conijnen Eylandt" was fully separated from the rest of Brooklyn. The explorers observed: Nobody lives upon it, but it is used in winter for keeping cattle, horses, oxen, hogs and others, which are able to obtain there sufficient to eat the whole winter, and to shelter themselves from the cold in the thickets. This island is not so cold as Long Island or the Mahatans, or others, like some other islands on the coast, in consequence of their having more sea breeze, and of the saltness of the sea breaking upon the shoals, rocks and reefs, with which the coast is beset. Development of Coney Island was slow until the 19th century due to land disputes, the American Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. Coney Island was so remote that Herman Melville wrote Moby-Dick on the island in 1849, and Henry Clay and Daniel Webster discussed the Missouri Compromise at the island the next year. So that led me to look for the Russian Cony. The Russian cony, or rabbit, is known by many names throughout the world and is perhaps more popularly referred to as the Himalayan. Though generally believed to be one of the oldest surviving breeds, little about the true history of the animal is known. Some believe, however, that the rabbit was originally an inhabitant of the Himalayan Mountain Range, though there is little evidence to support such a claim. Others argue that the breed was developed from a wild strain of silver-colored rabbits, citing the fact that many Russian rabbits today begin their lives with silver-gray coats, although their coloring changes as they mature, adults of the breed exhibiting a snowy white over most of the body, but a dark brown, black, or bluish-hue at the extremities. Though the thick, plush fur of the Russian cony was once considered the best rabbit fur available, the development of newer, improved breeds has displaced this animal as the most desirable in the industry. The Castor Rex, for example, which was developed in the early 1900s, is a variety of rabbit that contains no long, stiff guard hairs in its coat. This selectively produced characteristic greatly simplified the process of readying rabbit pelts for the market, since no removal of the undesirable guard hairs was necessary. The satin Angora rabbit is another relatively new breed that exhibits fur that is considered more valuable by some than that of the Russian rabbit. By crossing a French Angora with a longish-haired mutation of a short-haired satin rabbit, an animal with an unusually long, shiny coat was developed. So then tried looking in some old manuals about the breed. Book Reference: Our domestic animals: their habits, intelligence and usefulness The Russian Rabbit is described as a Himalayan Rabbit and also referred to as the Himalayan Rabbit. Book Reference: The Animals of the World: Brehm's Life of Animals, a Complete Natural … By Alfred Edmund Brehm The Russian Rabbit is grey, with brown head and ears, and it is distinguished by a dewlap under the throat. So digging even deeper I found a russian website translated from Google to discuss the Russian ermine. Rabbit Breed Russian ermine The most ancient kind of rabbits should rightly be called a breed Russian ermine. Small ermine rabbits shiny white, black or brown ears, as nose, legs and tail. For his breed name should thank because of similar color skins with an Ermine. In the world and is especially popular rabbit received different names such as Himalaya, Chinese, African, Egyptian, Siberian, Windsor, Antwerp, ermine rabbits. Derived rocks still do not have a specific treatment and, therefore, there is debate about between scientists. Most believe that the breed is derived from ermine rabbits, brought to us from England in 1928, they were small, the main advantage is the fur, the body was 38 – 40 cm, chest coverage under the shoulder blades 28 – 34 cm, weight of individuals 1, 2.5 to 6 kg. Today rabbits grow from 3.8 to 4.9 kg. They have a strong physique, muzzle a small, round, ears straight, body large, volume, 51 cm in length, breast coverage under the shoulders 35 cm, back a little, but the volume, powerful legs. Breed Russian ermine rabbit has a good immune system, get used to the climate features in all corners of the country. Females are fertile and excellent mother to offspring. In rabbits after the birth of the first white hairs grow in a few weeks in their place, the fur becomes with dark spots, and color fully formed in 6 months. Rabbits are small dietary meat and skins, which are highly valued for their color and extreme softness. So if you have any information about the breed, please reach out and let me know, as I would love to learn more about them.

There was once a fox and a hare. The fox had a house of ice, the hare a house of wood. Fair spring came and melted the fox's house, while the hare's stood firm and strong. So the fox asked the hare if she could come in to warm herself, then drove him out. The hare went down the road crying, and met two dogs, who asked, "Wuff, wuff, wuff! Why are you crying?" "Leave me alone, dogs! Who wouldn't cry? I had a wooden house, while the fox had one of ice. She invited herself into mine and drove me out." "Don't cry, hare," barked the dogs. "We'll chase her out." "No, you won't." "Oh, yes we will." Off they went to the hare's house. "Wuff, wuff, wuff! Come out of there, fox!" "Go away, before I come and tear you to pieces," she shouted back from the stove. The dogs took fright and fled. Once more the hare went on his way crying. This time he met a bear who asked, "Why are you crying?" "Leave me alone, bear," said the hare. "Who wouldn't cry? I had a wooden house, while the fox had one of ice. She invited herself into mine and drove me out." "Don't cry, hare," said the bear. "I'll chase her out." "No, you won't. The dogs tried and failed; you'll fare no better." "Oh, yes I will." Off they went to chase her out. "Come on out, fox!" roared the bear. But she shouted from the stove: "Go away, before I come and tear you to pieces." The bear took fright and fled. Once more the hare went on his way crying and met an ox who asked, "Why are you crying?" "Leave me alone, ox! Who wouldn't cry? I had a wooden house, while the fox had one of ice. She invited herself into mine and drove me out." "Come with me, I'll chase her out." "No, you won't," said the hare. "The dogs tried and failed, the bear tried and failed; you'll fare no better." "Oh, yes I will." Off they went together to the hare's house. "Come on out, fox!" But she shouted from the stove: "Go away, before I come and tear you to pieces." The ox took fright and fled. Once more the hare went on his way crying and met a cock with a scythe. "Cock-a-doodle-doo! Why are you crying, hare?" "Leave me alone, cock! Who wouldn't cry? I had a house of wood, while the fox had one of ice. She invited herself into mine and drove me out." "Come along with me, I'll chase her out." "No, you won't," said the hare. "The dogs tried and failed; the bear tried and failed; the ox tried and failed. You'll fare no better." "Oh, yes I-will." So they went up to the house. "Cock-a-doodle-doo! I'll cut that fox in two with my scythe so sharp and true!" When the fox heard that, she took fright and called, "I'm getting dressed." Again the cock crowed: "Cock-a-doodle-doo! I'll cut that fox in two with my scythe so sharp and true!" And the fox cried: "I'm putting on my fur coat." A third time the cock crowed: "Cock-a-doodle-doo! I'll cut that fox in two with my scythe so sharp and true!" The fox rushed out of the door and the cock cut off her head. So the hare and the cock lived together happily ever after https://russian-crafts.com/russian-folk-tales/fox-hare-cock.html Obesity in Rabbit Excess body weight, or obesity, is as much a problem in rabbits as it is in any other species, especially household rabbits. Rabbits that are obese are not able to function normally because of their large size and body fat percentage. Although certain breeds of rabbit, including the dwarf rabbit, are more at risk for obesity due to their shorter stature and inactivity, it occurs most often among middle-aged rabbits that are caged, and is independent of their gender. Symptoms and Types Typically rabbits prone to obesity tend to be more than 20 to 40 percent overweight. An easy way to determine this is to give the rabbit a physical exam. If you cannot find the ribs under the layer of fat and skin, then it is probably obese. Other signs of obesity may include flaky dermatitis, as the rabbit has difficulty fully cleaning under its skin folds. The animal may also have difficulty breathing and be excessively tired. Causes The causes for obesity in rabbits include being caged too often, along with excessive feeding habits. If it is fed too many treats or snacks during the day and not allowed to exercise it off, then it is sure to become obese. Diagnosis To diagnose obesity a veterinarian would naturally rule out conditions like pregnancy, a tumor mass or other abdominal and intestinal masses; fluid in the abdominal cavity can also mimic obesity. Other tests include those which measure the rabbit's body fat. Treatment Proper nutrition is the key to treating obesity. Often high-quality grass hay and fresh greens, including lettuce, parsley and carrot tops are generally recommended over an exclusive pellet diet. Fresh fruits and other non-leafy vegetables are not recommended during the obese period, as these can lead to other health problems in the rabbit. Living and Management With proper education from the veterinarian, you will establish long-term, reachable weight loss goals that will guide the rabbit toward a healthier and more productive life. It is also important for the animal’s overall wellness that its caged area be kept free from debris or fecal matter. Clipping excess hair and brushing matted hair will also help keep the rabbit clean. https://www.petmd.com/rabbit/conditions/digestive/c_rb_obesity © Copyrighted

Il 4 novembre 2018 ho aperto il cassetto dei sogni e ho realizzato uno dei miei desideri più grandi. Ho corso la maratona di New York, io che fino a sette anni fa non avrei mai corso un metro nemmeno sotto pagamento, io che non sapevo nulla di abbigliamento da corsa, accessori annessi e connessi. Mi sono appassionata alla corsa grazie ad una mia amica, abbiamo iniziato insieme con obiettivi diversi; perdita di peso, fare attività fisica, lei poi ha smesso, io non sono più riuscita a farne a meno perché correre diventa davvero una “droga” sana, ma più corri e più la corsa pretende. Ho continuato a correre, ma con allenamenti più mirati e diversificati perché la “corsetta” non mi bastava più. Un giorno, finito un allenamento, ho dichiarato alla mia amica di voler correre la maratona più conosciuta come regalo dei 40 anni. Da quel momento ho cominciato a darci dentro, alimentazione, allenamenti migliorati. Mi alzo al mattino presto quando tutti ancora dormono, mi piace quel momento perché la città è tutta mia, il traffico è minimo, sento i profumi delle panetterie, i bar che sfornano brioche, l’odore del caffè, vedo il sole albeggiare e il cielo ha dei colori stupendi penso che questo spettacolo sia lì per me che faccio una cosa che adoro e tutto ciò è la mia ricompensa.A New York sono andata da sola e ho vissuto davvero un sogno, ricordo tutto perfettamente; la sveglia, la colazione, -sarà sufficiente?- il freschino fuori dall’hotel, erano le 6 del mattino, il viaggio in pullman verso Staten Island, l’arrivo al traghetto con il primo tifo per noi maratoneti, per loro è una festa, la città bloccata, ma loro tutti per strada a fare il tifo dal primo all’ultimo maratoneta. L’arrivo al ponte di Verrazzano, immenso, grande, era lì tutto per noi, una giornata bellissima sole e temperatura ideale... e poi pronti, via, lo sparo....da lì tutto era nelle mie mani, anzi nei miei piedi, tantissime persone che correvano, meraviglioso, la corsa attraverso tutti i quartieri della città sempre sostenuti da un gran numero di gente che popolava i marciapiedi, chi suonava, chi cantava, chi urlava, chi aveva striscioni per gli amici, i bambini che chiedevano il 5 dei maratoneti e dopo averlo ricevuto esultavano felicissimi. Una folla colorata, per lo più colori fluo, che si muoveva e stagliava per questa grandissima città, ricordo di aver visto tutto ciò che ho sempre visto nei film e mi sembrava surreale, ricordo il ponte del Queens che non finiva mai, è leggermente in pendenza e mi è sembrato interminabile, non lo dimenticherò mai. Ricordo di aver visto correre maratoneti con arti artificiali, i veri eroi, ricordo i crampi al 32esimo km, male sì, ma ho deciso che avrei vinto io contro loro, certo ho rallentato un po’, ma ho continuato a correre riempiendomi il cuore di tutta quell’energia positiva, del tifo delle persone e del sorriso dei bambini. E poi finalmente Central Park, bello, grande come nei film, era lì, ero arrivata, il mio traguardo era lì dovevo solo tagliarlo e prendere il mio sogno, ricordo di essere stata così felice che mi veniva da piangere, avevo davvero corso la mia maratona, la corsa che più desideravo, l’avevo fatto con il sorriso, con entusiasmo con un buon tempo e due anni prima di quanto avevo preventivato... avevo corso per me che una volta non avrei mai corso un metro, avevo corso con il cuore, ma anche tanta testa, avevo corso per i miei figli per dimostrare loro che i sogni si possono realizzare con fatica e determinazione e tanto cuore!Sara Russo. iscriviti al canale Telegram del podcast di Rock Run Roll:https://t.me/rockrunroll
