Get Me To Eat Greek at Elysian Fields Cafe
As you know, one of the perks of doing what I do and writing what I write, is that I get invited to check out new restaurants, or those that are just looking for a little bit of a marketing buzz. This happens more and more as I continue to contribute to I Love the Upper West Side.com
Well the latest invite was for a newly opened restaurant just walking distance from my home, which is an added bonus—especially if I need to walk off the calories after a full meal. I booked a table for an early Friday evening dinner as I didn't want to be there at peak supper time, but did want to get a sense of the energy in this Columbia-adjacent restaurant. While they didn't seem to have my reservation when I arrived, I wouldn't judge them for that—and they were very accomodating, so it more than made up for a little confusion upon arrival. George, the manager, was very friendly and welcoming with a great sense of humor that I hope he shares with the rest of his staff.
George asked about my thoughts on wine, which is always a little tricky when it comes to Greek wines for me, so I told him what I generally like and he poured me a glass of Assyrtiko, which was the one familiar-looking name and hit the spot perfectly for me. For what it's worth, I generally like a sauvignon blanc or sancerre when it comes to white wines. And their menu does include non-Greek options, but I was looking for that real Greco-experience. And George would be my guide. Ok, before I allowed him to fully plan out my whole menu I did order a selection of three spreads, because it's something that I would do on my own. Especially with my tour guide brain of sharing and trying many things at once. Along with my pita, I chose to try the Melitzanosalata (smoked eggplant), Lemon Hummus, and Tzatziki. The tzatziki was my favorite of these three. I found the hummus to be a little bland. But after the disappointed look on George's face that I should dare to order anything without his advisement, I followed suit from there on out.
The next plate of food was significantly better than the last. Per George's recommendation, I ordered the Octopus, which is described in the menu as chargrilled, and served with lemon & oregano. But this was really more like a salad. The beautifully cooked sea creature was served and dressed with red onions, capers, tomatoes and caper berries, which were a unique and flavorful pairing. In fact, I was actually rather surprised at how much else was on the plate, but for the most part it all worked really well together. If I had to make an adjustment, I might reduce the amount of extras on the plate—particularly the red onions and capers because I'm not going to eat those alone when I've gotten through the rest of the dish—especially if I'm on a date of some sort—which this restaurant would be perfect for. The ambiance is very warm and calming, and the perfect setting for anything from a family get together to a girls get together to a romantic evening with a special someone.
George's next suggestion was the Spanakopita, which is said was very homestyle cooking, like his grandmother would make. Well, I don't have a Greek grandma, but I have been a New Yorker for the last 36+ years of my life, and I think we've got some pretty great Greek food here, so I was excited to try this take on the classic spinach pie. For the record, my favorite spanakopita in Manhattan is (STILL) from Poseidon Greek Bakery in Hell's Kitchen, which you've likely tried if you've been on my Hell's Kitchen food tour. They're the last remaining shop in Manhattan to make their own phyllo dough, and you can taste the generations of love with every bite. My favorite in Queens—home to our lage Greek community? Titan Foods. They've been in business for over 30 years, and it shows. But, we're not talking about either of those…we're talking about Elysian Fields Cafe. The verdict on their spanakopita? Very good. I could definitely imagine this being made in someone's home. It's got a very hearty and rustic quality to it, which they offset by serving it over a little cream and topping it with some greens. It's not light and airy like some of my favorites, but I would definitely order it again for a balanced and filling spinach pie.
While I was certainly not starved at this point, I did want to be sure that I also tried some land animal while I was there. So, again, I turned to my new friend, George for his guidance. With so many tempting offerings it was too hard for me to choose on my own. And I'm so glad I listened to him. I often don't order chicken entrees when I'm out unless they look truly extraordinary, which is a bit of a habit I've picked up from my mother. Essentially that it's easy enough to prepare at home means that it shouldn't be something I should indulge in outside. While it made more sense when I was cooking chicken frequently, that's not really my style any more, so it's probably worth kicking. I just think of all the great dishes I could be missing out on because of a stubborn idea about what I do in my own kitchen! Anyway, the next dish was the Roti Chicken, "oven-roasted half free range, lemon potatoes, pilaf." And while the thought of double starches may scare off a more timid diner, I love both pilaf AND lemon potatoes—plus the actual plate of food was not overly packed with either. The chicken was truly the star of the show. The bird was so perfectly roasted with a great crisp on the skin and tender flesh inside—not at all dry. And the combination of preserved lemons with the rice and potatoes made it a surprisingly light-seeming dish. Of course, it's not as light when you've already eaten your weight in pita, pie, and octopus. So, while I was not able to finish the dish myself—it made for great leftovers the following day.
After dinner, I was treated to a little tour through the rest of the space, which included the private dining space downstairs and in the back, that they're calling The Apollo Room. And if you're wondering about the instances where you see Elysees or even "Champs-Élysées" on the menu, it actually translates into Elysian Fields or, you know, Greek Heaven. And I will say there is certainly an ethereal feeling there—but perhaps that was just the wine.
While I know that I was given special treatment on this evening, I have no doubt that the rest of the diners that enter these doors are treated hospitably. It's definitely a place that I'll return to in order to get the full experience—and especially as I have so many more dishes that I want to try. Plus, my parents love a good Greek Restaurant! If nothing else, I think we all deserve to treat ourselves to a Rose Thursday every once in a while! So go get yourself some tasty Greek eats at Elysian Fields, and tell them that The Fun Foodie sent you looking for George! And if you're going on a Thursday, please call me!

Babylegs the inexpensive, educational way to monitor ocean plastic pollution
Comments Off on Babylegs the inexpensive, educational way to monitor ocean plastic pollution
Plastic pollution is a frequent topic around the planet, especially when referencing marine life and water pollution. Microplastics can't be seen by the naked eye but are showing up in water tests nearly everywhere. Do you have plastic in your nearby waterway? If you want to find out, you can collect a sample for testing using Babylegs, a trawl for monitoring ocean plastic. Currently fully funded on Kickstarter, Babylegs was introduced by Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR), a self-proclaimed feminist and anti-colonial marine science laboratory. CLEAR is working on the project in conjunction with another organization called Public Lab, a community that develops open source tools in the hopes of motivating community involvement. Together, the groups aim to provide tools the public can use to help gather information about environmental quality issues. Related: New line of men's swimwear is made from recycled ocean plastic Babylegs offers a simple design and is sourced from inexpensive and recycled materials. It's a do-it-yourself kit that you put together before use. This isn't the product of a company looking to make a profit. Babylegs is a tool that the company wants to provide to as many people as can use it, inexpensively and efficiently. With the easy-to-source materials, anyone can put together Babylegs, including classrooms of students. The basic supply list is baby leggings, a water bottle, sandpaper, a drill, scissors, rope, a plumber's clamp and a screwdriver. With these few supplies, plus some in the kit and some provided by you (like the water bottle), you can make your Babylegs and head out to the closest body of water In addition to providing the Babylegs kits, the company has a goal to facilitate education regarding plastics in the water. The concept is that an increased number of people taking and evaluating samples will provide a larger database of water plastic information that everyone can rely on. Of course, making the Babylegs and collecting the water sample with a simple trawl behind a boat or from a boat, bridge or dock is the easy part. The science comes in through the evaluation of the data you collect, so the kit helps with that, too. According to the Kickstarter campaign, "The activity guides included with this kit are divided into sections on building the BabyLegs trawl, deploying BabyLegs in the water, processing the sample in a kitchen, school or laboratory, where plastics are sorted from organics and finally forensically analyzing the microplastics so you can learn about pollution in your waters." The idea is solely focused on information and education, so there's nothing fancy about the product. Instead, most of the components are from recycled materials and many are reusable at the end of the Babylegs lifecycle. Kits are shipped in fully recyclable packaging that is also reused when possible. + Babylegs Images via Public Lab and Max Liboiron / CLEAR Lab

Your favorite playlist has a carbon footprint
Comments Off on Your favorite playlist has a carbon footprint
You would think streaming music is more eco-friendly than CDs, tapes and records, right? Afterall, there's no waste. A new study by the Universities of Glasglow and Oslo calculated the carbon footprint associated with downloading and streaming music and the answer is surprising. According to data from 2015 and 2016, music streaming accounted for 200 to 350 million kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions . The study used data records from the Recording Industry Association of America. First, researchers took the total number of streamed and downloaded songs and multiplied it by the amount of electricity it takes to download 1 gigabyte of data. Each gigabyte is equivalent to the amount of electricity needed to light one light bulb for an hour. Next researchers investigated what kind of fuel sources are typically fueling music streaming sites— such as coal or renewable energy — and averaged the carbon dioxide emitted. Related: Music festivals and events can set the stage for sustainability The totals do not reflect the carbon footprint of data storage and processing centers, nor the electricity it takes to power your cellphone or steaming device, so the comprehensive contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is actually much higher than the study initially indicates. Music streaming giant, Spotify, did not respond to The Rolling Stone journalist's request for comment, but they did publish a sustainability report in 2017, which promised to work toward carbon neutrality. By 2018, the new sustainability report indicated that they had closed almost all of their data centers and reduced their carbon footprint by 1,500 tons of carbon dioxide . In actuality, Spotify shifted to using Google Cloud services, which means that now Google data centers are responsible for the emissions, not that emissions have necessarily been cut. Streaming competitors Apple and Amazon have recently invested in renewable energy options for their centers. Data centers in general are responsible for 2 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to the airline industry. Music lovers who want to be more sustainable should buy full albums rather than streaming individual songs, especially if you plan to hit that repeat button a lot. According to their calculations, streaming 27 songs uses more energy than manufacturing the disc. For those of you who can't imagine hopping in a time machine and buying a CD again, the authors suggest that downloading songs for offline listening could reduce the associated energy consumption.

Analysis of Wikipedia searches reveals high wildlife conservation trends

Comments Off on Analysis of Wikipedia searches reveals high wildlife conservation trends
A recent study analyzed billions of Wikipedia searches and found that the public's interest in plants and animal species is often linked to the seasonality and migration patterns of wildlife. The findings contribute to a body of research that uses internet search data to understand and gauge the public's interest in environmental topics. Researchers believe this information can ultimately help guide more effective wildlife conservation campaigns. The study: Wikipedia searches and species The study, led by John Mittermeier, an ornithology student at the University of Oxford, was published on March 5 in the PLOS Biology journal. It analyzed 2.3 billion Wikipedia page views of 32,000 different species. The authors examined pages across 245 different languages over a span of three years. The study's most pertinent finding shows that over a fourth of all page views were linked to the seasonality of the searched-for species . The authors concluded that this means that people are paying attention to the plants and animals around them, despite the widening disconnect between people and nature. According to Mittermeier, each page could count as a human-wildlife interaction, "if you count a click as an interaction". Although "clicks" are debatable as an interaction, it is true that people are increasingly disconnected with nature in many parts of the urbanized world. The study's authors are hopeful that this knowledge of seasonal interest can turn into support for wildlife conservation . Related: IKEA teams up with London artists to upcycle old furniture into funky abodes for birds, bees, ?and bats Searches and Seasonality The study found that searches for particular species peaked during certain seasons or times of migration . For example, searches for Baltimore Orioles were higher in the Spring when the birds migrate to breeding grounds. Searches for flowering plants were also higher during times when flowers were in bloom, whereas searches for evergreen plants like pine trees had no correlation to season. "The results of this study…encouragingly suggest that humans remain attuned to the seasonal dynamics of the natural world," Mittermeier explained. The authors also noted cultural trends in the searches. For example, searches for Great White Sharks rose during the Discovery Chanel's Shark Week. Mittermeier and the co-authors believe the study will help explain important questions, such as "how is the world changing, for which species is it changing the most and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help?" Similar internet-search studies There are a number of other studies that have examined the ties between internet searches and environmental topics. In fact, this body of research is part of an emerging field called "conservation culturomics," which uses digital trend data to understand public support for and interest in the environment. One similar study examined Google searches on environmental topics since 2004, particularly testing linkages between 'conservation' and ' climate change ' and the competition between those two searches within the public's "limited bandwidth" for environmental topics. Although the authors originally believed climate change would overpower conservation and biodiversity searches, findings reveal that both topics are closely linked and that searches for the two were about equal. Remarkably, the data also revealed a drastic increase in interest in conservation and climate change among populations in India, Nepal, and Eastern and Southern African countries. Another study suggests that spikes in wildlife conservation searches occur around the publication of news articles on similar topics, however, such peaks are not associated with the publication of research studies. This discovery shows the critical importance of the media for conservation and climate change awareness and suggests that conservation organizations should look to strengthen partnerships with journalists and media channels as complementary to their investments in scientific research. Still, different study on internet searches for endangered wildlife species revealed that the general public is far too focused on endangered mammals, while equally important and threatened fish and reptiles receive little attention and therefore very few searches. Again, this study concluded that more media attention must be given to lesser-known and often less-charismatic species in order to peak public support for their protection. All of the studies' authors are quick to point out that though the use of internet searches is a great and inexpensive way to read the pulse of the general public and understand their curiosities; interest does not equate to support, and conservation organizations must use the new information to turn curiosities into financial and political action.

Wildlife conservation aided by a Chesapeake Bay retriever named Train

Comments Off on Wildlife conservation aided by a Chesapeake Bay retriever named Train
A Chesapeake Bay retriever named Train is playing an important part in wildlife conservation . Train, who was too energetic to make it as a drug dog, is lending his nose to sniff out endangered species by smelling their poop. Train is helping conservationists like Karen DeMatteo track down some of the world's most elusive animals, such as oncillas and jaguars, by finding their scat in the wild. DeMatteo and her colleagues are focusing their research in Argentina, and Train is helping them discover where these endangered species are calling home. "Everybody leaves poop behind in the forest," DeMatteo shared. "You can figure out which habitats they like and which habitats they avoid." Related: These AI-powered cameras can sense poachers and save wildlife DeMatteo is using the data she gathers to help conservationists determine where they need to focus their efforts. As human populations continue to encroach on wilderness areas, researchers hope to figure out which areas of the country need better conservation practices — and Train is helping them reach their goals. Before he was sniffing out wildlife , Train was placed in a drug-detection program. Train's life as a drug-sniffing dog did not pan out, because he was far too energetic for the program. Luckily, DeMatteo snagged him up and trained him to sniff out poop instead of drugs, and the rest is history. Train's energy also makes him ideal for tracking down wildlife in Argentina. In fact, DeMatteo and her team hiked over 600 miles in 2018 looking for scat, and Train's energy helped him handle the workload with ease. Before Train came along, researchers like DeMatteo relied on game cameras to find and track endangered species. The only problem with this system is that scientists have to wait until the animals cross the camera's view. They also have to deal with theft. Although Train is 12 years old, he has not slowed down. After Argentina , DeMatteo and her team will be traveling to Nebraska to find mountain lions, continuing Train's assistance in wildlife conservation. + Got Scat? Via CNN Images via Karen DeMatteo

Amazon plans to reach net-zero carbon use by 2030
Comments Off on Amazon plans to reach net-zero carbon use by 2030
Amazon is continuing its dedication to sustainability by aiming for net-zero carbon use by the year 2030. The e-commerce behemoth plans to accomplish this ambitious task by adding more renewable energy programs that will be incorporated in its shipping and packaging departments. Amazon already has several carbon cutting initiatives in place. This includes programs like Ship In Own Container, Frustration-Free Packaging and the Closed Loop Fund. The company has also invested in both solar and wind farms as well as solar paneled rooftops. More than 200 engineers, scientists and designers supervise these programs and are committed to long-term sustainability. Related: Amazon's incredible plant-filled biospheres open in Seattle According to Amazon , the company plans to take its eco-friendly programs a step further by reducing carbon use to zero over the next decade. To that end, Amazon has invested in biofuels, electric vehicles , renewable energy sources and reusable packaging, all of which will make it possible for the company to reach net-zero carbon in 50 percent of its online orders. Reaching net-zero carbon use is easier said than done. Fortunately, Amazon has a host of suppliers who are also dedicated to bettering the environment through renewable energy . Amazon also plans to use customer feedback to help encourage companies to cut down on carbon use through reusable packaging. This is similar to what the online seller has accomplished through its Frustration-Free Packaging and Ship In Own Container programs, which have greatly reduced its carbon footprint in recent years. When it comes to accountability, Amazon is currently tracking its carbon use and plans to share its findings at some point this year. This will help the company gauge its progress over the next few months. Scientists will also use the data to come up with better ways to incorporate sustainable energy practices into its shipping and packaging departments, which will hopefully result in a net-zero carbon footprint for the company by 2030. + Amazon Image via Amazon

List of Birds from Around the World
American Kestrel Facts and Photos
Information about the Bird American Kestrel
The American kestrel is a common bird used in falconry, especially by beginners. Though not as strong a flyer as many other larger falcons, proper training and weight control by the falconer allows many American kestrels to become effective hunters of birds in the size range of sparrows and starlings, with occasional success against birds up to approximately twice their own weight.Based on appearance and behavior it was for many years considered a member of the primarily European and African kestrel clade within the genus falco, but recent DNA analysis shows the American kestrel to actually be genetically more closely related to the larger American falcons such as the Aplomado falcon, the Peregrine falcon, and Prairie falcon. Though the species has not been renamed as a result of these genetic analyses, it is not actually a kestrel in the phylogenetic sense. Instead, a process of convergent evolution to fit a similar small prey niche in the ecosystem as the true kestrels has left it with similar physical characteristics and hunting methods.Its breeding range extends from central and western Alaska across northern Canada to Nova Scotia, and south throughout North America, into central Mexico and the Caribbean. It is a local breeder in Central America and is widely distributed throughout South America. Most birds breeding in Canada and the northern United States migrate south in the winter. It is an occasional vagrant to western Europe.The American kestrel usually hunts in energy conserving fashion by perching and scanning the ground for prey to ambush, though it also hunts from the air. It sometimes hovers in the air with rapid wing beats while homing in on prey. Its diet typically consists of grasshoppers and other insects, lizards, mice, and small birds (e.g. sparrows). This broad diet has contributed to its wide success as a species. It nests in cavities in trees, cliffs, buildings, and other structures. The female lays three to seven eggs, which both sexes help to incubate.The American kestrel (Falco sparverius) is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. It has about a two to one range in size over subspecies and sex, varying in size from about the weight of a blue jay to a mourning dove. It also ranges to South America, and is a well established species that has evolved seventeen subspecies adapted to different environments and habitats throughout the Americas. It exhibits sexual dimorphism in size (females being moderately larger) and plumage, although both sexes have a rufous back with noticeable barring. Its plumage is colorful and attractive, and juveniles are similar in plumage to adults.
Under traditional classification, the American kestrel is the smallest raptor in America. The American kestrel is sexually dimorphic, although there is some overlap in plumage coloration between the sexes. The bird ranges from 22 to 31cm (8.7 to 12.2in) in length with a wingspan of 51-61cm (20-24in). The female kestrel is larger than the male, though less so than larger falcons, being typically about 10% to 15% larger within a subspecies. The more northern subspecies tend to larger sizes, with a large northern female being about twice the size of a small southern male. The male typically weighs 80-143g (2.8-5.0oz), and the female 86-165g (3.0-5.8oz). In standard measurements, the wing bone is 16-21cm (6.3-8.3in) long, the tail is 11-15cm (4.3-5.9in) and the tarsus is 3.2-4cm (1.3-1.6in).
Physically, American kestrels are leaner and less muscular than larger falcons. The pectoral flight muscles of the American kestrel make up only about 12% of its body weight, as compared to about 20% for the strongest flying falcons such as the peregrine. The wings are moderately long, fairly narrow, and taper to a point. Their less muscular body type is adapted to energy conserving ambush hunting, rather than spending large amounts of energy consuming time on the wing and getting into long tail-chases of bird prey. For their size, they have strong talons and beaks, and can swiftly dispatch prey. Their lean build and energy conserving strategy allows a lower daily food intake than if they were more strongly muscled, yet with enough strength to commonly take bird prey as large as themselves, and occasionally larger. The success of this body style and hunting strategy is reflected in the high success of the species in densely populating a large range throughout the Americas. The flight of the American kestrel is not so dramatic and swift as more muscular falcons such as Merlins and peregrines, but their efficient adaptation to a broader diet of more available smaller prey, and need for less food per day, has resulted in there being many more of them.
In contrast to many other raptor species, the sexes differ more in plumage than in size. Males have blue-grey wings with black spots and white undersides with black barring. The back is rufous, with barring on the lower half. The belly and flanks are white with black spotting. The tail is also rufous, with a white or rufous tip and a black subterminal band. The back and wings of the female American kestrel are rufous with dark brown barring. The undersides of the females are creamy to buff with heavy brown streaking. The tail is noticeably different from the male's, being rufous in color with numerous narrow dark black bars. Juveniles exhibit coloration patterns similar to the adults'. In both sexes, the head is white with a bluish-grey top. There are also two narrow, vertical black facial markings on each side of the head, while other falcons have one. Two black spots (ocelli) can be found on each side of the white or orangish nape. The function of these spots is debated, but the most commonly accepted theory is that they act as "false eyes", and help to protect the bird from potential attackers.
The American kestrel has three basic vocalizations - the "klee" or "killy", the "whine", and the "chitter." The "klee" is usually delivered as a rapid series - klee, klee, klee, klee when the kestrel is upset or excited. This call is used in a wide variety of situations and is heard from both sexes, but the larger females typically have lower-pitched voices than the males. The "whine" call is primarily associated with feeding, but is also uttered during copulation. The "chitter" is used in activities that involve interaction between male and female birds, including courtship feeding, copulation, and the feeding of nestlings. Nestlings can produce calls similar to those of adults at 16 days old.
Until the sixth edition of the AOU Checklist of North American Birds was published by the American Ornithologists' Union in 1983, the most commonly used name for the American kestrel was the sparrow hawk or sparrowhawk. This was due to a mistaken connection with the Eurasian sparrowhawk in the genus Accipiter. The sixth edition of the AOU Checklist corrected this, officially renaming the bird American kestrel. Several other colloquial names for the kestrel are also in use, including grasshopper hawk, due to its diet, and killy hawk, due to its distinct call.
As noted in the introduction, DNA analysis shows the American kestrel to actually be genetically more closely related to the larger American falcons than to the true kestrels. However, based on its physical similarity to the kestrels and the established nature of the name American kestrel, there has been little impetus to change its name. This could change in the future if continued genetic research more precisely determines the evolutionary history of the American kestrel within the genus falco. The entire genus is actually a set of species so closely related that most or all can be hybridized by artificial insemination. Significant natural hybridization of species has occurred in the past during the evolution of this closely related set of species, such that precise evolutionary genetic analysis as to which species are more basal to other species or to the genus as a whole is difficult to render.
The American kestrel's scientific name, Falco sparverius, was given by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th century work Systema Naturae. The genus refers to the falcate, or hooked, shape of the beak, and the specific name means "pertaining to a sparrow", referring to the bird's small size and hunting of sparrows as a typical prey.
Seventeen subspecies of the American kestrel are recognized, generally based upon plumage, size, and vocalizations:
American kestrels are found in a wide variety of habitats, including grasslands, meadows, deserts, and other open to semiopen regions. They can also be found in both urban and suburban areas. A kestrel's habitat must include perches, open space for hunting, and cavities for nesting (whether natural or man-made). The American kestrel is able to live in very diverse conditions, ranging from above the Arctic Circle, to the tropics of Central America, to elevations of over 4,500m (14,800ft) in the Andes Mountains. The bird is distributed from northern Canada and Alaska to the southernmost tip of South America, Tierra del Fuego. It is the only kestrel found in the Americas, though as mentioned above this classification is genetically inaccurate. It has occurred as a vagrant in the UK, Denmark, Malta and the Azores.
American kestrels in Canada and the northern United States typically migrate south in the winter, sometimes going as far as Central America and the Caribbean. Birds that breed south of about 35 north latitude are usually year-round residents. Migration also depends on local weather conditions. Wintering kestrels' choice of habitat varies by sex. Females are found in open areas more often than males during the non-breeding season. A common explanation for this behavior is that the larger females arrive at the preferred habitat first and exclude males from their territory.
The American kestrel is not long-lived, with a lifespan of <5 years for wild birds. The oldest banded wild bird was 11 years and 7 months, while captive kestrels can live up to 14-17 years. In a study, humans accounted for 43.2% of 1,355 reported deaths, which included direct killing and roadkills, while predation (including by larger birds of prey) accounted for 2.8%. This statistic is likely biased, however, as reported deaths are usually found near or in areas populated by humans.
American kestrels feed largely on small animals such as grasshoppers, dragonflies, lizards, mice, voles, and small birds. The kestrel has also been reported to have killed snakes, bats, and squirrels. The kestrel is able to maintain high population densities, at least in part because of the broad scope of its diet. The American kestrel's primary mode of hunting is by perching and waiting for prey to come near. The bird is characteristically seen along roadsides or fields perched on objects such as trees, overhead power lines, or fence posts. It also hunts by kiting, hovering in the air with rapid wing beats and scanning the ground for prey. Other hunting techniques include low flight over fields, or chasing insects and birds in the air.
Prey is most often caught on the ground, though occasionally they take birds in flight. Before striking, the kestrel characteristically bobs its head and tail, then makes a direct flight toward the prey to grab it in its talons. Much like the red-tailed hawk, American kestrels conserve energy in a hunt and pick their attacks with care as to position and odds of success. During the breeding season, the bird will carry large prey back to its mate or young. One study found that an American kestrel pair "foraged in ways that minimized the costs of energy acquisition in its particular situation". For example, if the success rate for catching prey decreases significantly in a particular area, the bird will move to a different area.
American kestrels are sexually mature by their first spring. In migratory populations, the males arrive at the breeding ground before females, then the female selects a mate. Pair bonds are strong, often permanent. Pairs usually use previous nesting sites in consecutive years. This gives birds an advantage over younger or invading individuals, as they would already be familiar with the hunting grounds, neighbors, predators, and other features of the site. Males perform elaborate dive displays to advertise their territory and attract a mate. These displays consist of several climbs and dives, with three or four "klee" calls at their peaks. Females are promiscuous for about one to two weeks after their arrival at the nesting site. This is thought to stimulate ovulation. Food transfers from the male to the female occur from about four to five weeks prior to egg laying to one to two weeks after.
American kestrels are cavity nesters, but they are able to adapt to a wide variety of nesting situations. They generally prefer natural cavities (such as in trees) with closed tops and tight fitting entrances, as to provide for maximum protection of the eggs and young. Kestrels occasionally nest in holes created by large woodpeckers, or use the abandoned nests of other birds, such as red-tailed hawks, merlins, and crows. They have been recorded nesting on cliff ledges and building tops, as well as in abandoned cavities in cactuses. American kestrels also commonly utilize nesting boxes.
Three to seven eggs (typically four or five) are laid approximately 24-72 hours apart. The average egg size is 32mm 29mm (1.3in 1.1in), 10% larger than average for birds of its body size. The eggs are white to cream in color with brown or grey splotching. Incubation usually lasts 30 days and is mainly the responsibility of the female, although the male incubates 15-20% of the time. Eggs that are lost are typically replaced in 11-12 days. Hatching takes place over three to four days. Hatchlings are altricial, and are only able to sit up after five days. They grow very quickly, reaching an adult weight after 16-17 days. After 28-31 days, their wings develop and they are able to leave the nest. The young adult kestrels may breed from a year old, and the species has approximately a three to five year life expectancy in the wild.
In ecological terms the reproductive pattern of the American kestrel leans towards a small bird "r-selection" strategy. In r/K selection theory, selective pressures are hypothesised to drive evolution in one of two generalized directions: r- or K-selection.R-selected species are those that place an emphasis on a high growth rate, typically exploiting less-crowded ecological niches, and produce many offspring, each of which has a relatively low probability of surviving to adulthood (i.e., high r, low K). By contrast, K-selected species display traits associated with living at densities close to carrying capacity, and typically are strong competitors in such crowded niches that invest more heavily in fewer offspring, each of which has a relatively high probability of surviving to adulthood (i.e., low r, high K). Between these two extremes the American kestrel is one of the few raptor species that lean towards being r-selected. They are able to breed at one year old, have few non-breeding adults in the population, and have larger broods. Their population growth rate is high relative to larger raptors, which typically lean towards being K-selected.
American kestrels are often useful in scientific studies on animal physiology, and are typically captured using the bal-chatri method or raised in nest boxes for experiments. Kestrel metabolic rate has been found to increase in response to rainfall, and at ambient temperatures below about 25 C. Kestrel metabolic responses to weather and temperature do not vary, however, with sex. Kestrels will increase their oxygen consumption, and therefore their metabolic rate in cold and wet conditions to counteract heat loss.
American kestrels' response to environmental stress is measured as blood concentration of corticosterone (CORT,) a hormone produced by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis that releases stored energy for essential body functions. Extended periods of elevated blood CORT levels may direct metabolic energy away from growth and reproduction. Thus, high levels of traffic disturbance and human development surrounding American kestrel nests are found to increase stress hormones leading to reproductive failure. Among successful nests, however, nestlings do not typically experience a higher stress response to environmental human disturbance, suggesting that they can tolerate a considerable degree of human activity near the nest.
Since American kestrels are carnivores, toxic chemical runoff ingested by their prey can concentrate at high levels in their blood. Wild kestrels are subject to immunomodulation, or an altered immune response, to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a group of industrial flame retardants that may leach from factories into the environment. When PBDEs accumulate in body tissues of kestrels, the T-cell mediated immune response decreases in efficiency. As a result, kestrels that ingest PBDEs may not respond sufficiently to viruses or other invading microorganisms. In addition, certain PBDEs may suppress growth and development of the spleen and bursa in American kestrels.
The American kestrel is likely the most abundant falcon in North America, although its total population is difficult to quantify, as local populations can change quickly due to resource availability. Count data from the USGS Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) indicate that the North American breeding population is experiencing long-term and gradual but sustained declines, with some regions, such as New England and coastal California, exhibiting more rapid declines. Count data from raptor migration corridors also indicate regional population declines and largely corroborate BBS data. The North American population has been estimated at 1.2 million pairs, with the Central and South American populations being as large. A smaller estimate is 236,000 birds wintering in North America. A population increase occurred in the 18th and 19th centuries, probably due to deforestation for agriculture. The resulting pastures provided an ideal habitat for kestrels.
The southeastern U.S. subspecies (Falco sparverius paulus) has declined 82% since 1940 due to a decrease in nest site availability. This decline is a result of longleaf pines being cleared from agricultural fields. Despite this, the American kestrel is classed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
The Peregrine Fund, a leading non-profit organization advancing research and conservation of birds of prey worldwide, launched the American Kestrel Partnership in 2012. The American Kestrel Partnership developed and maintains a web-based network for citizen and professional scientists to enter, manage, and consolidate data from kestrel nest box monitoring programs in the Western Hemisphere. The database is being used by researchers to model and understand relationships between kestrel nesting parameters (e.g., phenology, occupancy, survival, productivity, and nestling weight and exposure to environmental toxins) and environmental factors, such as land use, landscape composition and configuration, climate conditions (e.g., drought), and point sources of environmental toxins. Each breeding season, the American Kestrel Partnership features a live-streaming video feed from the nest box located at The Peregrine Fund's campus in Boise, Idaho.
One important use of American kestrels is in falconry. It is often considered a beginner's bird, though the careful weight control needed to maintain the kestrel's desire to aggressively hunt takes skill. Falconers experienced in extracting the best performance the species is capable of report they are highly reliable on the normal game of sparrows and starlings. More aggressive individuals are sometimes capable of capturing prey up to approximately twice their own body weight, allowing the occasional capture of true game birds such as quail and dove. However, most falconers interested in the reliable taking of such game do prefer larger falcons or hawks. The advantage the American kestrel offers the experienced falconer is its suitability to simple and urban falconry not requiring large tracts of land or the use of hunting dogs. This form of falconry is sometimes referred to as "micro-falconry" or "micro-hawking." The other small raptor species commonly used in micro-falconry are the Merlin, the Sharp-shinned hawk (the smallest accipiter), and the European kestrel (a true kestrel).
Hawking with the American kestrel requires adapting to the strengths and weaknesses of the bird. It is a very small falcon, and even for its size it is less muscular than other small falcons such as the athletic and swift Merlin. It is more adapted to ambush hunting and short chases than to the longer aerial chases larger falcons often adopt. Used within it limits, it is effective. Experienced falconer Matthew Mullenix, author of the book "American Kestrels in Modern Falconry", in an article comparing kestrels to merlins, summed their abilities up as follows:
1. "Kestrels are thin-winged, flat-chested, under-powered and lack acceleration compared to merlins. I say that with much affection for them and with thousands of kestrel kills to prove these are not necessarily damning differences. Comparing a red-tailed hawk to a Harris- or goshawk will conjure equally negative points of fact, yet we all know how good trained red-tails can be!"
2. "The chief variable to choosing between a kestrel and a merlin may be your hawking land. If you live in open country, or have access at least to good pasture for cattle, a merlin can excel there. If you plan to hunt mostly in town or suburb, and especially if you plan to hawk from a car, I-d recommend the kestrel. The consideration coming in at close second is your intended quarry. To snipe, dove, quail and open-country sparrows, merlins are best suited. For most blackbirds (Icteridea), either falcon can prove effective. Starlings in close are extremely vulnerable to kestrels; but in the open are best prey for merlins. The same holds true for house sparrows, with this exception: sparrows in thick cover are better quarry for kestrels. This is the slip for which I feel the American kestrel is perfect."
3. "Once committed to an attack, trained kestrels tend to follow through to the end. They will stoop into cover, chase birds on foot, bind to quarry twice their size and never let go voluntarily. They have small feet, but as written elsewhere, also have the strongest feet for their size. It is a simple fact that American kestrels hold starlings better than merlins, on average, and will gladly tackle larger quarry than will any jack (male merlin)."
American kestrels do not train so easily as some larger falcons (particularly the Peregrine falcon) in the art of "waiting on" to perform a diving stoop on flushed prey. However, some individual kestrels do master this skill. Falconers sometimes train them to climb to a stooping position with tidbids on kites or balloons that the kestrels learn to climb after. More common hunting techniques are to "slip" them after spotted game from the fist, or to release them from a vehicle window close to spotted quarry. These techniques are more of a natural fit to the kestrel's ambushing methods in the wild.
Falconers using the American kestrel should be alert to protect the falcon from larger predators that may attack the kestrel, particularly if it is distracted on the ground with captured prey. Domestic cats and dogs are the greatest threat to attack the falcon on the ground, but the Cooper's hawk is well known to boldly attack kestrels. This mid-sized American accipiter has sufficient size and strength to carry the kestrel away, though falconers have reported often being successful in recovering the kestrel unharmed by acting quickly to intimidate the larger hawk into releasing the kestrel.
American kestrels are bred in captivity for use in falconry, and are among the easier falcons to breed. They are also sufficiently common that "passage" birds in their first year are relatively easy to trap. Wild caught kestrels "tame down" fairly quickly. They will usually be eating from a falconer's hand the day after capture, be training within a week, and be ready to hunt in three to five weeks. A very tame American kestrel will allow itself to be picked up around the body with one hand, while accepting tidbits from the other hand. Such tameness is very useful when checking or treating the bird for injury or illness.
Migratory raptors native to the United States are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, so American kestrels are illegal to possess without a permit (such as a falconry permit) in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Arnold L. Lehman is echt Brooklyn.
The former director of the Brooklyn Museum, who served for almost 18 years, Mr. Lehman, 72, was born in the borough. And he lives there, too, in a spacious Brooklyn Heights apartment with his wife, Pamela.
True to form, he has a wisecrack at the ready. Asked about his current job, as a senior adviser to the chairman of Phillips auction house: "To me, senior adviser means someone very old with a big mouth."
But the Lehmans are serious when it comes to collecting contemporary art. They have a Tracy-and-Hepburn-style disagreement about exactly how many works they own: He says 300, she says 120. So they settle on 200. That kind of compromise may be why the marriage has lasted since 1969.
The Lehmans have filled up not only their high-ceiling floor-through in Brooklyn, but also a house in Maine and an apartment in Miami. So they've finally slowed down. "Collecting is a lot easier now that we're not collecting anymore," said Mr. Lehman, who also formerly led the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Over the years, their biggest challenge during acquisitions has turned out to be getting large pieces up the stairs or in the elevator.
"Things get stuck," said Mr. Lehman, seated in front of a long wall with three works: Kehinde Wiley's large canvas "The Capture of Juliers" (2006); Fernando Mastrangelo's "Brazil" (2007), an intriguing figural sculpture; and Barbara Kruger's lenticular photograph "Have Me Feed Me Hug Me Love Me Need Me" (1988), which combines text and images of babies.
Mr. Wiley, who was the subject of two exhibitions during Mr. Lehman's tenure at the Brooklyn Museum, reserved the couple one of his equestrian series — riffing on specific old master paintings, but updated with contemporary African-American subjects — but it turned out that it wouldn't fit.
These are edited excerpts from the conversation with him about what happened next.
So what did you do?
Kehinde said, "I'll find a way to do another equestrian piece for you." As you'll see, he's [the man in the painting] riding sidesaddle, not the normal way for a man in this period. But if you're astride, you're much taller. We needed a painting that would be more horizontal. Kehinde found this painting by Rubens, and he created a new painting. It arrived, and we loved it.
That sculpture in the middle, Mr. Mastrangelo's piece, looks like unusual material.
It's sugar and coffee, set in resin. We first saw this one at a Miami art fair. We were stunned by it, didn't know the artist at all, and bought it on the spot. It's about the agriculture of Brazil, and how politics and social issues come together. It took us a year before we weren't overwhelmed by the smell of coffee in the apartment.
Do you think that the text piece on the end rounds out the wall?
That Barbara Kruger was in a group show back when her dealer, Mary Boone, was in SoHo. There was another similar piece that had some four-letter words that weren't "love" and "need," but we had young children at the time. People refer to this as my autobiography — walk by it, and you'll see why. [Observing the piece from different angles reveals the words "psychotic," "neurotic," "schizophrenic," "hysterical" and "paranoid."]
Has it been strange to go from the nonprofit museum world to the for-profit auction world at Phillips?
Twenty years ago, it would have felt that way. There's such an alignment now. But I'm not at a factory talking about widgets — I'm talking about contemporary art. Do you think I got to talk a lot about contemporary art as a museum director? No. I was speaking to politicians, raising money, bringing on new trustees, repairing roofs. Once in a while, I got to talk about art.

Now, I will start this post by saying this may not be a perfect idea of a vacation for everyone!
But it was for us – and I think it will be for a lot of you.
It is not a place I would say bring the little ones – but for older kids and adults – especially if they love history, it is a winner. It is also a great way to spend a day without spending a lot of money! We are all about living a more frugal life – and visiting Jerome was a cheap way to spend a day with most things either being free or having a small fee. We spend more on lunch than we did activities.
The trip to Jerome was not at all planned – I had never even heard of it before, but we spent the week in Sedona and were looking for something easy to do on our way back to the Phoenix airport because we had a day to kill.
Our original plan was just to spend the day in Phoenix, but that did not really appeal to any of us so we wanted to do something different. Best decision we ever made!
I checked on Google as we began our trip out of Sedona and saw the Gold King Mine come up and told my husband about it – we were skeptical but since we had a few hours and it was not far out of the way we gave it a shot – and we are all glad we did. While Gold King was our target – as soon as we drove into Jerome, we knew we were onto something special.
We had no idea the time warp we were about to embark on!
Even with only a few hours to spare we covered a lot of territory – we wanted to see as much as we could. While we did not spend a ton of time at any one thing, we covered a little bit of several things which made us happy. I visited most of the things noted below – the only thing we did not do were the tours, but I will do those the next time we are out that way so I can learn even more about the amazing history.
Things To Do In Jerome AZ
1. Gold King Mine & Ghost Town
This is where we spent most of our day and we still felt it was not enough time!
This is not a place everyone will love and we want to be clear about that.
I hate when I go to TripAdvisor or any other review platform and see negative reviews just because this was "not for them" or they think it is a "junkyard" with no value.
Is it a gold mine? Well, kinda.
Is it a ghost town? No, not really.
Is it pretty much a junkyard? Yep, but it is so much more than that – it is history!
If you are a history buff with a passion for retro cars, tools and things that yell out "I am metal and I am old", the Gold King Mine & Ghost Town is for you. My husband has a passion for old car parts, motorcycles and tools – so this was heaven for him – and although my daughter and I may not have that passion, we just loved the historic value that this place has.
You can explore for hours and still not see everything.
My husband also loved that he got to meet the person who owned the property, Don Robertson. He enjoyed great conversation about one of his passion projects (the yellow race car in the pic below) and loved hearing stories that Don had to share. Sadly Don passed away at the age of 73 back in 2016 – but thankfully his stepdaughter has taken over the property and it will continue on in his memory.
What Can You Do At The Gold King Mine & Ghost Town
- Explore the property – visit the buildings, the blacksmith, the over 180 vintage cars and motorcycles – you won't be bored!
- Pan for gold in their sluice
- Get married – yep, they host weddings!
- Visit the petting zoo for some fur love
There is a nominal admission fee which helps them keep things running, but you can spend as much time as you want there!
2. Nellie Bly Kaleidoscopes
It had been a long time since I looked at a kaleidoscope and this place just took me right back to my childhood. Nellie Blye Kaleidoscopes and Art Glass is the largest dealer of kaleidoscopes in the world. They offer styles and designs from over 90 different artists – most of which live right here in the US!
The store also features a collection of glass marbles and jewelry which were incredible as well.
One of the things that makes this place so special is not only the beauty of the items they showcase – but the wonderful people who work there. They truly go above and beyond to ensure you are having a fantastic time and they highly encourage everyone to touch and feel everything in the store which was such a treat. My daughter absolutely loved this place.
3. Jerome Mine Museum
The Jerome Historical Society offers their Mine Museum which is a great way to see the the progression of Jerome over the years.
From equipment the old miners would wear to the various ethnicities that called Jerome home the museum showcases everything that made Jerome what it is today. The exhibits include everything you could want to know about even the seedier side of things like the gambling and saloons to the prostitution that took place there.
Little kids may get a little bored but at the end of the trip there is a little thing they walk under which was made to look like you were in a mine which we are sure they will love. It is a short trip through the museum and the admissions fees are super low but there is a lot to take in so all in all a great place to visit.
4. Ghost Town Tours
Unfortunately, I did not learn about these tours until we were already in Jerome and we had no time to book one – but this is a must for our next trip out there, because we are definitely going back. Ghost Town Tours was the one I want to try. They offer 3 different tour types including Historic, Ghost and Specialty (which is primarily for groups).
I am a huge ghost nerd so I want to do a Ghost tour and there are even 4 different options for that specific tour – and then 3 more options for the historic tours. Some are walking tours while others a combination of shuttle and walking. The one ghost tour I looked at actually has ghost detecting devices so you can stop along the way of the tour to take readings. I would LOVE to do that! The tours can be a little pricey – so definitely make sure your whole family will appreciate it, but this is such a great way to really learn the unique history of Jerome, AZ!
5. The Flatiron Cafe
This was where we went for lunch and we did not expect much, but boy were we pleasantly surprised. I am not one of those that takes pictures of everything I eat, but I wish I did! My daughter and I wound up sharing a Grilled Cheese sandwich – and it was amazing. Like seriously how could grill cheese be so much better than any other grilled cheese, but it was. The bread was amazing – a grain bread that I thought my daughter would hate but she loved it.
My husband had the Roast Beef sandwich and even his pickiness was met with happiness at first bite – for him the horseradish Aioli was like a piece of heaven.
Of course we all grabbed a dessert too – cookies for all! If you need a place for a snack – or a meal, we highly recommend this place! It was located on Main street so keep your eyes pealed!
6. Jerome Historic State Park
This was our first stop before we headed into the town of Jerome and it was definitely worth the trip. The views — that was enough for us to stop, but the museum was really great as well.
The image below is from the outside of the museum area – the picture really does not do this view justice.
The museum was formerly the residence of James S. Douglas who built what was then known as the Douglas mansion in 1916. The mansion was designed by Douglas to be a hotel for mining officials and investors as well as his own family. He also built the nearby Little Daisy Hotel that served as a dormitory for the miners that worked in the Gold King Mine.
The museum covers everything related to the history of Jerome area including the Douglas family as well mining. You can enjoy historic photos, view the minerals that the town was known for and even see a 3-D model of the Jerome – underground mines and all. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the views, taking a peak at the old mining equipment and taking a look at the cool stuff in the carriage house.
7. Jerome Artists Cooperative
It was so cool to see so much modern art in such a vintage place. The Jerome Artists Cooperative is located at 502 Main Street in Jerome and is located in what used to be Hotel Jerome which was opened in 1917.
Since 1996 it has been the artist coop and typically showcases a variety of art from about 35 local artists. When you walk in the doors you are surrounded by art in all mediums from painting to jewelry to photography. Each artist helps to keep the coop going so any time you visit it is an artist working the floor – and they love sharing stories of their work so do not be afraid to strike up conversations.
Even though we are not true art lovers like we are history nerds – this was definitely something we enjoyed because of the passion the artists exuded!
8. Explore The Downtown
Just exploring the business district are was an experience. It was like walking back into the 1950's. You will find a good mix of shops, galleries and museums – not a lot mind you, but a few to keep you engaged. You will see some really old buildings and even some treasures between the buildings if you look!
If you are lucky you will see an array of vintage cars like we did that just gave it an extra special vintage feel. You will also meet some of the locals whom are incredibly welcome and kind.
The Drive From Sedona to Jerome, AZ
The drive from Sedona to Jerome Arizona was only about 45 minutes and I have to say the scenery was BEAUTIFUL. Jerome sits high up so you are seeing so many different scenes at different altitudes to get there. 89A is the road you will take and it is a historic road that is full of twists and turns which is like every guys dream for driving. My husband loves motorcycles and I could see him drooling at the awesomeness of this road.
When we were there it was not at all busy and we felt like we were the only people on earth for a quite a long time on that road. It was incredible.
A Little About Jerome, AZ
Jerome is an old – and quaint little town that was founded in the late 19th century and overlooks the Verde Valley – it is high sitting about 5,000 feet above sea level giving you amazing views. Back in the day it was known for its mines and was home to over 10,000 people in the early 1900's. The mines provided great wealth and the town became known for its prosperous opportunities.
But the town was also destroyed on several occasions by fire – although it was always rebuilt. But in 1918 the mining base began to fickle out after fires erupted under the town that was said to have stretched over 88 miles.
Sadly due to labor issues and depression and wars the mines closed in 1953 and that population of 10,000 or so turned into about 50 in the 1950's.
The 2010 census showed only 444 people living there.
In the 1970's they began to open those buildings to artists – in 1976 Jerome became a Historic Landmark and today it is a vibrant downtown filled with artists, eateries and people who are passionate about their community.
Our time in Jerome was so special! It felt like you were being taken back in time to the 1950's. The buildings, the decor, the people – it was all special.
Pictures From Our Trip To Jerome, AZ
These are just some of my favorites from our trip to Jerome, AZ. You can see the diverse collection of "treasures" at the Gold King Mine, the beauty of the landscape and the last image is actually on our drive into Jerome. The valley was amazing!

Thanks for your immediate reply, but, Using Apache Commons DbUtils, there is length function which show the final number of records as following.

text: Hi everyone, I haven't been able to find any answers to my problem and I'd appreciate some advice. My boyfriend is going to uni in Canada, and I've just graduated from uni in Europe, where my family and I live. We'd like to move in together in Canada (during the school year only and leave for the summer), but the more I'm looking into visas, the more I'm realizing that I don't have a strong case for any of them. I wouldn't be studying in Canada as I've already graduated, I work online as an English teacher so I don't have a need for a job in Canada. We've also been in a long-distance relationship for the past 2 years, so us qualifying as common-law partners and having me get a visa that way won't work either, as we haven't lived together for a year straight. Since it doesn't seem likely that i'll be able to get a visa in time for this next school year, I've decided to stay with my family in Europe for the time being. However, I'd like to spend as much time with him in Canada as possible over this next school year. I'd ideally like to go over from sept-dec (and go back home to spend a few weeks with my family for xmas), jan-feb (and go back to Europe for a few weeks for my graduation), and then from the end of feb-april when he finishes school. We won't be in Canada after that until he starts school again in the fall, and by that point I'll have worked out a more permanent solution. I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience in a similar situation. I'm not going to be working in Canada as I have an online job, and he has a place there so I won't be renting a place or anything. I'd really just be there to spend time with him. How long Americans are really allowed to stay in Canada? I know it says six months, but is this six months out of one calendar year? So six months out of 2019, six months out of 2020, etc.? Has anyone else had experience with this? Is it likely that I'll run into some issues at the border if I'm coming in for long periods of time? Thanks!

Steve Young Back Pain Breakthrough review explains 5 Impacts Of Low Back Pain
Have you ever stopped to wonder why no matter what you do, how frequently you exercise or how healthy your diet is, there's a possibility of experiencing the impacts of low back pain as you age? Your flexibility decreases, you feel low back pain whenever you bend down to pick objects.
According to Steve Young, and a study there are various impacts of low back pain and they all tend to limit our movement. No matter how painful they get, they can be eliminated in as little as 30 days or even less.
How Possible is this you may ask?
The method of Steve Young, the author of the Back Pain Breakthrough, which is Targeted Spinal Release has been revealed to be the perfect solution to the impact of low back pains.
In his program, Targeted Spinal Release Manual, Dr. Steve Young sheds more light on the impacts of low back pain and various ways by which they can affect the smooth running of an individual's daily activities.
7 impacts of low back pain from the Back pain Breakthrough Program
- Reduces Efficiency at work
Impacts of Low back pain are felt when going about our daily activities. According to a population study, low back pain is a very common health issue and one of the major causes of poor performance at work.
Over the years, this issue has been attributed to older adults, particularly those in their late 50's. However, that is completely false. This problem affects both young and old but predominant among individuals between 35 and 50.
2. Depression
Back pain is known to result in mental illness in people. Individuals with acute bain pain problem struggle to maintain work performance.
Slowly, their productivity hits rock bottom and their job is suddenly on the line. This results in Socio-economic impact in the area of work loss.
Suddenly such individual finds himself on the street searching for a means of survival and when they can't find any, depression sets in due to chronic back pain.
3. Diseases and Injuries
Low back pain is slowly becoming more prevalent than diseases such as tuberculosis and common cold. However, research proves that factors associated with back-pain related diseases can be modified if we change some co!mon habits.
Habits like sitting positions at work, lack of exercise and excess body weight all contribute to the prevalence of low back pain and other diseases associated with these factors.
As such improving the quality of life and practicing daily healthy habit as mentioned by Steve Young in the Targeted spinal release program can reduce the risk factor of diseases.
4. Sluggishness
Low back pain can arise due to a number of factors including bad posture, weight, and individuals personal characteristics.
Slight pain is mostly ignored and most times left interested. Diagnostics for low back pain is very difficult as is dependent on a whole lot of other factors.
Adults with an issue of low back pain experience limitation in movements and most time results in physical disability.
5. Uncontrolled Fear
Impacts of low back pain are evident in frequent visits to doctors in a bid to prevent lasting damages.
Most of the time, acute back pain may be as a result of simple strain from physical work that will resolve in a matter of days, with or without treatment.
However, most physicians see back pain as a forerunner to physical disabilities and never fail to stress these facts to their patient.
Misinformation provided by such physicians aggravates the seriousness of the disease in the mind of the patient which results in unnecessary thought and fear over their condition
The Back Pain Breakthrough Review
The back pain breakthrough 2018 was created by Steve Young, a certified professional with a Ph.D. in the science of joints. All his methods have gone through in-depth medical research and inspired by a link between Leonardo da Vinci's journal and back pain.
The minimum input you need is do just few of the exercises as soon as you rise from bed another flight session during the day and finally before going to bed. All without using equipment.
The Back pain breakthrough's method of relieving the impacts of low back pain is different from the ancient theory that helps to relieve back pain by practicing stretches, engaging in exercises that help to improve back pain or even using expensive therapy and medication.
While these options are widely used by most medical experts, they provide no permanent solution and only make the pain disappear for a while.
As a means of relieving Back pain in no time, it's important to know the root cause before seeking help. You ought to understand why you're feeling pain and analyze the scenario. Most back pain problems arise as a result of staying rooted in one position at work or bad sitting posture.
Minor cases like that require simple lifestyle changes such as changing sitting position or making a transition between standing and sitting when working.
Back pain breakthrough believes you can relieve yourself from any form of back pain by implementing the techniques listed on the Targeted spinal Release manual.
What's the Targeted Spinal Release Manual?
The targeted Spinal release manual pdf is the missing manual from most pain relief program. The program isn't another scientific theory proving various ideas without getting to the root cause.
This manual outlines helpful tips on maintaining good posture as well as diets to help limit inflammation. All this aims to keep you from getting low back pain in the first place.
