The Robin Redbreast

(red brownish or brown reddish animal series)

Robin (commonly referred to as Robin Redbreast) is traditionally a herald of spring, a time of new spurt of growth and new beginnings. The robin redbreast is a bird of spring, the first bird to arrive in the spring. The robin with its red breast and trilling song awakens as to the spring season. Robin's medicine is about happiness, rebirth and renewal, so that you get to sing your own song and dance to your own drummer. According to a superstition, whoever sees the first robin of spring will have good luck through the Lunar New Year.

The 7-minute workout


The 7-minute workout using body weight that is as beneficial as a long run and a weights session - but you must be in PAIN to reap benefits

The Seven Minute Workout: The new exercise regime is very prescriptive in terms of the exercises you should do, the order in which you should do them and the length of time spent between each

Scientists devised workout that requires just a chair, a wall and 7 minutes
But in order reap benefits you must exercise so intensely that it is painful
The 12 exercises are most effective if you carry them out the in correct order with a 10 second break between each

A seven-minute exercise regime devised by scientists has been shown to provide as many health benefits as going for a long run and doing  a session of weight training.
The workout requires no more than a wall, a chair and seven minutes of your time.
However the experts say that you must be in pain when performing the regime in order to benefit.

The article, entitled High-intensity circuit training using body Weight: Maximum Results With Minimal Investment, is published in the American College of Sports Medicine Health & Fitness.
It outlines 12 exercises that uses the body’s own weight to get the same amount of exercise as doing a long run and session of weight-training in just seven minutes.
‘There’s very good evidence that high-intensity interval training provides many of the fitness benefits of prolonged endurance training but in much less time,’ Chris Jordan, director of exercise physiology at the Human Performance Institute in Orlando, and co-author of the new article, told the New York Times.

Previous research has found that just a few minutes of training at an intensity approaching your maximum capacity produces molecular changes within muscles comparable to those of several hours of running or bike riding.
Interval training, though, requires intervals. The scientists who devised this new workout say that to get the maximum benefits the extremely intense activity must be intermingled with brief periods of recovery.
In the program outlined by Mr. Jordan and his colleagues, this recovery is provided in part by a 10-second rest between exercises. This rest is extended by alternating the muscles used in each  exercise.
During eat set of exercises, the unexercised muscles have a moment to ‘catch their breath’, which makes the order of the exercises important.

The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each.
But to get maximum benefits the intensity must hover at around and eight on what they term as the discomfort scale of 1 to 10.
Mr Jordan says that the seven minutes should beunpleasant.

Canis lupus (grey wolf) is one of many Canis species called "wolf". Other Canis species (wolves) include C. latrans (coyote), C. aureus (jackal), C. rufus ( red wolf, which was thought to be a hybrid midway between grey wolves and coyotes until the most recent genetic studies in October 2012), C. simensis (ethiopian wolf, which was considered a maned wolf _one of those canids which do not belong to the Canis genus, p.e. fox, raccoon dog)_ because of the intermediate morphology midway between jackal and fox), C. lycaon (eastern wolf) ...
Canis lupus has 35 to 39 subspecies (many extinct), including the two domesticated subspecies, Canis lupus familiaris and Canis lupus dingo and the iberian wolf, Canis lupus signatus.

Red wolf (Canis rufus) is a very special totem animal to have. She is the smallest wolf and is the essence of Innocence, blessed with the gift of Belief and Trust that all will be exactly as it is meant to be. Yet in order to facilitate her primary Role of Teacher, to impart her Knowledge and Wisdom, she must first walk through the experience herself in full awareness and face her own personal Truths, only to come back to herself... the Way Back Home of the Self is the Return of Innocence, Belief, Trust and Dream to Call on Her Power, Empower Herself and Create What She Wants the Most. And it is Magic.

Red wolves are frequently mistaken for coyotes even in daylight. Red wolves and coyotes are similar in appearance, coats, and coloring. Red wolf yearlings are similar in size and weight to coyotes. Red wolves are named for their reddish-brown, brownish-red, brown-red or cinnamon coloured fur or pelt with dark patches on their backs.

Although red wolves are able to hunt together as a pack in order to catch a larger animal such as a deer, red wolves primarily eat smaller ground dwelling animals such as rabbits and rodents. Red wolves also eat birds, raccoons and other small animals.

Gunshot deaths are a significant threat to the red wolf, one of the world’s most endangered animals, living in the Albemarle Peninsula of eastern North Carolina. Bt the 1970s the pure red wolf was thought to be extinct in the wild primarily due to habitat loss and human hunt (even during spring season :/), but in 1987 a population was reintroduced in a protected area of North Carolina that is said to now be up to 100 individuals. Nevertheless, the red wolf is still considered to be a critically endangered animal, and is regarded as the 10th most endangered animal species in the world.
