Attracting hummingbirds is easy when you start thinking like a hummingbird! Experts Kenn and Kimberly Kaufman explain what these birds really want and need.
Red matters when attracting hummingbirds! This hummingbird was drawn to the red "faucet" on this feeder.
Hummingbirds are some of the most fascinating and flashy fliers you'll ever see. Yet they're also some of the most misunderstood. If you want to attract them and keep them coming around (and don't we all?) you might not be sure how to get started. After all, a lot of information is out there, and it's a little overwhelming trying to decide what to believe or try. To provide a little insight into these tiny feathered gems, we thought we would get inside their heads a bit and think the way they do. Of course, we can't really think like hummingbirds. But we have studied their behavior enough over the years to make some good guesses about what they're thinking. Here's what we think they might advise.
In North America, the flowers best adapted for hummingbird pollination are bright red blooms with a tubular shape. Hummingbirds instinctively watch for red things and investigate them. (We've seen them making detours to check out the taillights of parked cars, and even someone's sunburned nose!) There's no question that planting red flowers will when attracting hummingbirds.
Some companies sell hummingbird nectar, but you can easily make your own. Measure out 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water and mix thoroughly. If you boil the mixture to remove impurities, it may keep longer before it starts to spoil. And don't mix in any honey, red dye or other additives when feeding hummingbirds. Simple sugar and water work just fine.
Sugar water that has started to grow moldy can be dangerous to birds. If you're going to put out feeders, it's essential that you keep them clean and replace the mixture regularly—at least once every three or four days, more often in hot weather. If the mixture starts to look cloudy, clean the feeder and replace the nectar immediately.
Hummingbirds are always looking around for food sources, and they're good at finding them, but you'll have more luck attracting hummingbirds if you put feeders in a place where it's easy to spot. Use a feeder with some bright red on it, and position it where it can be seen by birds flying past at a distance.
Goldfinches and some other songbirds may feed together peacefully, but hummingbirds often fight around feeders, chasing one another away. Hummingbirds are adapted to feeding at flowers, which will produce only limited amounts of nectar, so they instinctively protect their food sources even when they're at feeders with an unlimited supply. Try putting up two or more feeders that can't be seen from one another. Even the toughest little hummingbird can't monopolize multiple feeders if he or she can't see them all at once.
If the hummingbirds returning in spring seem to remember where you had flowers or feeders in previous years, they probably do. As tiny creatures that rely on specialized food sources in a big, big world, they have to be good at finding their way back to the best spots. They have a highly developed sense of what scientists call spatial memory. This is a good reason to work extra hard at attracting hummingbirds. Once you get them established, they'll be back for more.
While the hummingbirds enjoy having your backyard as a nectar source, they aren't relying on you 100 percent. One of the top questions we are asked is: "If I have my feeder out in fall, will it keep the hummingbirds from migrating?" The answer is no – feeding hummingbirds will not stop them from migrating. They'll migrate when they're ready, whether or not feeders are available. It's instinct!
Backyard birders sometimes worry because they had a pair of hummingbirds around and then the male disappeared, leaving a single mother behind. But this is normal for hummingbirds. The male never helps with nest building, incubation or feeding the young. The amazing mother hummingbird does all that work herself. Meanwhile, the male goes off in search of another female. It seems odd to humans, but this behavior ensures that there will be even more hummingbirds for us to enjoy!
It may take some time for hummingbirds to find your feeder—and even after they do, it may be a while before you notice that they're visiting. They may zip in to the feeder for a quick sip many times before you happen to catch them in the act. So keep feeding hummingbirds, and keep watching. You're likely to be rewarded.
I was thrilled to read this! Now I know everything, like throwing out the nectar in the cupboard that's a year old, where to put the feeders (paint the yellow one red), put one in the back, one in the front and wait for the little darlings to come zooming into my yard. Keeping my fingers Xd that I'll see more of them soon.
Boy is sight is full of good info! so gotta get more feeders! Love to watch them chase ea. other!
I have a couple who will come peek in my windows until I notice them and put the feeders out!! Every year-we had a house fire in the fall 2 years ago, and as our new house was being built in the same spot, they would hang around looking for food. One of the first things I did when we moved in was had the hooks put in my front porch to hang the feeders!! We have a group who come back every year, love it!!
Where can I get this feeder? I'd love to have one like it.
That feeder can be found usually at Farm & Fleet.
I did not see when to put the feeder out if you live in New England.
They always come right after my birthday, which is May 1st. They are always here by Mother's Day. I live near Augusta, ME. If my feeders aren't out the buzz me in the window. If they get empty they also let me know. I like the small feeders used in plant pots that come with a long wire with a hook on the end. They seem to like these the best and the sugar water is always fresh as it is a smaller feeder. I also put one in the upstairs office window in the front of the house so I have them in front & in the back. I have even held one of these feeders in my hand they come right up to it. What a thrill to hear & see those little wings move so fast.
Now I know why the sugar-water sours. I don't boil the water!
I think the solution sours even if boiled/not boiled. The difference is the temp outside and it its directly in the sun. I have 4 feeders, 2 in shade and 2 in sun, and I can see such a difference in location. Sun of course being the worst…but for sum reason they like it better…go figure!
Also PLEASE remember that if you boil the nectar solution to let it cool thoroughly before you put it out.
In the summer in the 100's I have to change it no more than every other day, or else you'll get 'floties'.
How can I attract hummingbirds to nest in my yard?
We live in Western WA. We had a hummer all winter, Second year this little bird has stayed all winter. It even guarded that feeder, sitting on a dried geranium plant. Darling bird.
Question, for about two weeks the hummer disappeared, and now it's back. Was this because it was hunting for a mate, or nesting?
Great information here that can really be used to set up a good feeding and H2O station for hummingbirds. The picture of Honey Boo Boo's Mom blowing kisses up at the top right however made it too nauseating to read the entire article without wrenching. You might want to get rid of that trash.
I'm so tired of reading, "Don't add color to the nectar." When I stopped adding red food coloring, all my hummingbirds went away (and I've tried this more than once). When I start adding the color again, they come back.
It could be you have such a nectar rich yard that the birds prefer your flowers over the feeder.
Try changing feeders. I put one out and they didn't like it, although my neighbor had them right next door. I bought another one to try and they love it! Just make sure your feeder is bright red and the solution is fresh. Good luck!
They like to have a perch to sit on when getting a drink. Hummers use so many calories to fly it good to sit still to eat and rest.
The food coloring is damaging to their kidneys. The red features on the feeders. In Ohio I put them out on April 15th. You can also use deep throated flowers even orange Trumpet vine.
I agree. I've tried multiple feeders with the clear and colored nectar and they don't come to the clear nectar or not nearly as often. People say that the red dye is damaging to them (and to people as well) but hummingbird nectar has been red my entire life. There has been a stink about red dyes since the 1970;s and I'd think if they were that dangerous, they'd have been banned from food products by now. JMO.
I would like to caution everyone that has a red plastic emergency handle on their garage door. It dangles from the chain drive and is very tempting to hummers and will draw them inside when the door is open. Just put a strip of black electrician's tape over the red, and it will keep them from entering your garage and getting so confused that they are stuck in the building. This happened to us a couple of times before we figured out what the problem was.
Thank you. Such a good point!!
Yes they have come in our garage also and fly right back out. This is a good idea! We have quite a few and love everyone of them.
Do you know if chipmonks eat humming bird eggs.
I have more chipmonks this year and less hummingbird babies?
I didn't know this and thank you for pointing this out. We relocated 24 chipmunks one year.
Sugar question: should I use cane sugar or beet sugar? I don't want the hummers to be drinking GMO sugar.
I don't use food dye as there is research finding red dyes can cause issues for people.
2) do they tend to poop around feeder like other birds ? Just wondering ?
Humming birds are pretty clean birds due to a mostly clear liquid diet.
Absolutely! They will come at any level.
Different hummingbirds feed at different levels so having various heights of feeders will attract different types of hummers.
I have a third floor patio (apartment) with black oil sunflower seed feeder on one side for my favorite chickadees (in and out!) and on the other side a feeder for hummers. They'll find it. Actually, by the middle of the summer we have to hang two feeders: we've had 2-3 at the same time fighting and this helps a little. Slightly urban/suburban, and they find it every year.
I was attracted to this page after noticing that they are creatures of habit. The one that has gained access to my feeder stops by at just before 8, around 9, and again around 1 pm. Everyday. and takes off and heads in the same direction each time. Quite fascinating and gives me a heads up when to watch. There was a battle early in the spring where he fought off another hummingbird (even though they called a truce and fed from opposite sides of the feeder). But he/she is only one since then, so I feel like he must have "won" something. To the commenter above, I have a third floor balcony and he is a regular visitor.
I also inadvertently picked up petunias in a mid-summer clearance sale and now he briefly checks those out too. I might look into producing healthier petunias that are nectar rich so that they will feed from those too.
Sorry to say, petunias do not produce nectar. The hummer will check it out and find nothing.
I feel in love with that faucet feeder, but cannot find it. Anyone know where I can get it?
Ohio here and have my feeders up but frost will hit tonight. Will do my best to keep them good for as long as it takes.
According to renowned entomologist Doug Tallamy, a hummingbird's diet is 80% tiny insects and spiders which means that a variety of native plants (which attract and host insects) are a must in the garden. Also, a man made 'nectar' feeder is good but planting the natives our ruby throated hummingbirds evolved with is even better. Plants like cardinal flower/Lobelia cardinalis,coral honeysuckle/Lonicera sempervirens, and Eastern red columbine/Aquilegia canadensis — and choose the species, not the cultivars. The double flowers of columbine cultivars do not provide nectar. If you have the conditions for all three of these plants, the more power to you and your hummers!
I have a window feeder that I place on my slider door that does not move, I have several Hummers that continue to come – one even flew in my house – it took me hours to finally catch it. It wore itself out so much – that I had to hand feed it! Then we let her go outside.
Funny thing, the hummers do not like the hanging feeder on the deck – BUT it is close to my other feeders, could that be why?
Do they ever run into the sliding glass door because it reflects the sky on their side?
Have moved to TN from OH–will put up feeders on porch, but also have a small empty flowerbed. What native flowers should I plant?
The most popular with hummers around my place: Monarda, Penstemon, Hollyhocks, Tropical Hibiscus in pots, Liatris, and butterfly bush.
Sorry…and Agastache, or Hummingbird Mint is another big seller.
I have 2 or 3 hummers that return every year. I have them feed from my hand also. When it is late summer the bees take over and I can't seem to get rid of them. Any suggestions?
I'm not sure the kind of feeder you're using, but this one is too deep for bees to reach the nectar: Songbird Essentials Dr JB's 16 oz Clean Feeder All Red Feeder on Amazon. I only have a bee occasionally that I usually swat, because they seem to remember and come back. Also make sure (which I'm sure you do) no nectar is spilled or leaking.
Can someone please tell me where I can find a faucet feeder like above, I love it and would look great in my garden.
I had family members, that feed so many hummers at one time you thought a swarm of bees was coming at you. As soon as the feeders, at least 4,would be put out it was hard to count them all. I saw hummers sitting on his finger and feeding while sitting on the porch in amazement.The hummers knew this was the place to get a good meal.
I have sort of a problem and wondered if anyone can help. I live in the Northeast and have been feeding hummingbirds for about 20 years from a feeder hanging on a shepherd's hook off my deck. One morning when I looked out very early the hook was turned slightly and the feeder was empty. I took it down, washed it, filled it, and put it back up for the day. Just before dark I took it down and put it in the garage for the night and placed it out again in the morning. That night I didn't bring it inside and at 2am I noticed it was empty again. I haven't put it up since and I feel bad because the hummers are looking for it. I have seen a raccoon under my regular bird feeder at night lately. Will a raccoon drink the nectar from the hummingbird feeder? Also, this morning something knocked a favorite flower pot off the deck railing onto the deck which broke and made quite a mess. In all these years nothing like this has ever happened before and I have seen raccoons before. Just wondering if anyone could give me some info and what I can do to start feeding the poor hummers again.
you may have bats. We have bats in AZ that feed off the humming bird feeders at night and empty them. Our bats are endangered so I let them have it.
My dad has raccoons that empty his feeders at night in Ohio.
I think it's the raccoons. I haven't had any up on my hummingbird feeders, but I also have dogs around. A coworker catches the raccoons eating his jelly for the orioles. They apparently like sweet things. We have bats flying around our place every summer and I've never had a problem with anything bothering the feeders around my deck.
For sure it's the raccoons. I'm in Ohio also and had the same problem. The more they got the braver they got until a saw the whole family of 5. You need to break their habit. Make sure your feeders are away from trees and areas on you roof that they can use to get to the feeder. Also high off the ground. They will jump from a nearby tree and swing on it till it spills. Once they can't succeed they will stop. Trapping the racoons is another option. Then relocate.
that are here year around.
We have had humnmingbirds for several years, lots of them. Few weeks back, a flock of blackbirds came through. Haven't seen the hummingbirds since. This has never happened before.We typically go through nearly a half gallon of nectar a day and now nothing. Blackbirds are gone, feeders washed and fresh nectar, plenty of flowers but still no hummers. Any thoughts?
I am a beginner when it comes to attracting hummingbirds (first year doing this). I have planted several types of flowers that hummingbirds love and have a feeder with lots of red on it, but even after a few months I haven't seen a hummingbird. Am I doing something wrong?
Nicole – try planting salvias. I live in Texas and have several black/blue salvias and the hummingbirds love them. I also have red salvias. Hummingbirds ignore my feeders, I've tried different feeders and sugar waters but they prefer my salvias.

I really liked my Shure headphones that Frank got me for Christmas a few years ago. However, when they broke – or rather just stopped working – I decided to just go back to the default iPod headphones. Not a good decision. The background noise on the BART train and on the airplane yesterday were so loud that I couldn't hear my podcasts at full volume! (I managed to listen to one of my audiobooks on the airplane at full volume – I guess it's no wonder my ears are ringing now.) So I'm buying a new pair of Shure headphones.
They now have earphones that connect to both your audio player and your cell phone. Since I'm in the market for a headphone for my cell phone, I looked into that, but the reviews were terrible.

Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin is facing possible surgery for a sports hernia, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The procedure would be in addition to the knee and shoulder surgeries Baldwin has already undergone this offseason. The news has 710 ESPN Seattle's Brock Huard wondering whether Seattle's stretch of postseason success brought quicker wear-and-tear for its older starters.
In an interview airing Friday morning on 710 ESPN Seattle's Brock and Salk, Garafolo said that after an injury-plagued 2018 season, the 30-year-old Baldwin may consider stepping away from the game.
Huard, a former NFL quarterback, says time adds up quickly in the league – especially for successful players.
Baldwin has played all of his eight NFL seasons with Seattle, and led the Seahawks in receiving yards in all but three. He has made 13 postseason appearances, where he's recorded a combined 734 yards and six touchdowns.

Laich-Kwil-Tach Peoples
What is treaty?
The treaty process provides a framework for We Wai Kai, Canada, and BC to work towards a common goal of reconciliation, and building a new relationship through constitutionally protected understandings.
How far are we into the treaty process?
We are in stage 4 of 6 stages, of the treaty process, "Negotiating an Agreement in Principle."
What is being negotiated?
We are currently negotiating jurisdiction of lands, waters, and resources, as well as a land and cash settlement. More information on what we are negotiating specifically can be found in our Agreement in Principle (AIP) Brochure. If you don't have one yet, contact Dani Assu at dassu@lkts.ca or 250.287.9460.
How many bands are in the BC treaty negotiation process?
65 First Nations, representing 105 current and former Indian Act Bands out of all 200 Indian Act Bands in BC, are participating in, or have completed treaties through the treaty negotiations process. This is 52.5% of all BC Indian Act Bands. Four treaties, representing eight First Nations have been signed in the BCTC treaty process (Maa-nulth, Tla'amin, Tsawwassen and Yale).
What does it cost to be in treaty?
As of April 2018, First Nations are fully funded to negotiate treaties. Canada's 2019 budget announcement included loan forgiveness for all previous treaty debt.
How do we ensure we have enough money to sustain ourselves after treaty?
After treaty We Wai Kai will continue to have access to all INAC programing that is available for other non-treaty Nations and it will continue to cover health and education costs. We will also negotiate funding agreements with Canada that will support our governance system. This allows us the opportunity to enhance and build any programs as we see fit using the additional funds we generate from our lands. Funding does not end and our funding levels will remain at least as they are currently, but in most cases will increase.
What is self-government?
First Nations were self-governing long before Europeans arrived in Canada. In 1876, the Indian Act dismantled traditional governance systems and imposed strict regulations on Indigenous peoples' lives. Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, recognizes that Indigenous Peoples have an inherent, constitutionally-protected right to self-government – a right to manage our own affairs.
Are there other options for self-government besides treaty?
There are no real options for self-government other than treaty, in British Columbia. There are some small measures we can take under various pieces of legislation, including the Land Management Act or the First Nations Financial Management Act. We can also develop our own Citizenship Code and Election Code under the Indian Act. But these are all half measures and amount to authority delegated or allowed through the Indian Act. The only way to be truly self-governing is through treaty negotiations and economic development.
Define what our aboriginal rights and title are now, and what it will mean after treaty.
Aboriginal rights are essentially the right to hunt, fish, trap and gather for food, social and ceremonial purposes. Aboriginal title is ownership of lands we can show we have occupied "exclusively" for a very long time. Exclusive ownership is difficult to prove, particularly because of overlaps. These rights become expanded under treaty. Under treaty, we get full ownership of the Treaty Settlement Lands and Self-government. We Wai Kai rights and title will not be extinguished through treaty – they will be asserted and exercised in accordance with the treaty.
If the government(s) have not embraced and honoured treaty for other nations who currently have treaty in place, then why does We Wai Kai think that we will fare any better?
All three governments, We Wai Kai, Federal, and Provincial, have a vested interest in ensuring the success of our treaty, therefore, the treaty commitment needs to be clear, fair and implemented within the spirit and interest of treaty. There will also be a review period and a dispute resolution chapter. If governments do not honour the treaties, the treaties provide the legal remedies.
What is bad about our system now?
Under the current system we do not own our lands. We are "allowed" to live on Indian Reserves, at Canada's discretion, in the way Canada requires. We do not make our own laws, and are always subject to the whim of the Minister of Indian Affairs. We are the only people in Canada, other than those in prison, to live so completely under the control of an executive branch of government (Satsan from Frances Abele, Like an ill-fitting boot: Government, governance and management systems in the contemporary Indian Act (p.32))
Because we do not own our lands we have limited opportunities for economic development. This has made many Indian Reserves lands of poverty and abuse surrounded by other lands of wealth.
It is under the Indian Act that the residential school system was carried out. It all happened under the Indian Act and under the "protection" of the Minister of Indian Affairs. The potlatch system was also banned and our language was forbidden under the Indian Act.
Simply because it is something we are used to and know does not mean we should continue to accept living under its weight and control.
Do we lose our status and healthcare if we sign a treaty? If not, what happens with health?
No, we do not lose our status or our healthcare after treaty. We will continue to be eligible for all programs and services (including health care, social services and education) available to Aboriginal people and we will continue to be "Status Indians" for these purposes. We Wai Kai has the opportunity to enhance health and education by developing programs for these important services.
Is the post- treaty government run by elected representatives?
Yes. The structure of treaty government will be developed based on the Constitution that We Wai Kai people build. We will vote on our Constitution and it will form the bases of our government and laws. After treaty, the band will no longer exist. There will be a transition period during which the Chief and Council will form the government. After the transition period, the new government will be elected based on the Constitution.
What can we do to ensure that our treaty government will be held accountable?
Accountability requires the participation of citizens. Citizens have an obligation to inform themselves and to question their government. In the draft Constitution being developed there will be requirements for laws and policies in place to ensure the We Wai Kai Government is held accountable, but this will only happen if you exercise your rights as citizens.
What stops our "newfound" government from becoming corrupt?
The best tool to prevent government corruption is to have informed and active citizens. Treaty will also provide tools of good government. There will be laws and policies in place to prevent this from happening. There will be an impartial and independent process for We Wai Kai citizens and other individuals who live on We Wai Kai lands to appeal or ask for a review of We Wai Kai government decisions. Currently, under the Indian Act, there is no formal process to review or challenge decisions made by the We Wai Kai Chief and Council, other than in the courts.
Will there be laws and policies in place?
Yes, there will be laws and policies in place. These will be developed by We Wai Kai for We Wai Kai. Our Constitution will define how our laws are passed.
Post-treaty, how can We Wai Kai make revenue?
For economic opportunities, We Wai Kai will have treaty settlement lands it can develop. We Wai Kai will also have better forestry opportunities through treaty and we will receive a significant amount of the revenue from all GST and PST transactions on our lands. We will also have greater opportunities to create Joint Venture partnerships and create greater opportunities for our citizens.
Why will we have to pay taxes after treaty?
Currently our tax exemption is limited and is only based on language in the Indian Act. It is not an Aboriginal right. Indian Affairs is working to remove tax exemption opportunities and it's anticipated that in the future very few, if any people will be eligible. Treaty gives us the opportunity to ensure that the taxes our citizens pay are returned to us, an option we don't have once the exemption is lost outside of treaty.
Who is going to be accountable for our money and funding?
Currently, our We Wai Kai Administration is accountable for our money received from Indian Affairs. This will not change, but post-treaty our We Wai Kai Government will be accountable to our citizens under our Constitution. It will not be accountable to the Minister or Indian Affairs. Our citizens, through our Constitution and governance will ensure that laws and policies are in place to ensure accountability and transparent financial management of all We Wai Kai money and funding.
How do we manage our finances? How do we ensure the people are properly trained if they are not schooled?
We do and will continue to manage our finances in a manner that conforms to financial management standards applicable to public governments. Individual citizens are provided with opportunities for education and training, but the ultimate responsibility is with the citizens themselves. The We Wai Kai Government can provide opportunities but it is up to each individual citizen to take advantage of the opportunities and use their own initiative.
What is "fee simple" land compared to Indian Reserves and Treaty Settlement Lands?
Fee simple lands: Federal and Provincial law recognizes this as the highest form of land ownership. The property owner is entitled to full enjoyment of the property, limited only by zoning laws, deed or subdivision restrictions or covenants, all of which are done through Provincial law. The property owner is responsible for paying all taxes established by the government. Fee simple lands can be sold, mortgages inherited.
Indian Reserve lands: The Indian Act (Sec. 18(1)) states that reserves are "held by Her Majesty for the use and benefit of the respective bands for which they were set apart, and subject to this Act and to the terms of any treaty or surrender, the Governor in Council may determine whether any purpose for which lands in a reserve are used or are to be used is for the use and benefit of the band." In other words, Canada owns reserve lands and allows us to use them as long as the Minister agrees with said use.
Treaty Settlement Land: Sometimes called "fee simple plus" because it is ownership plus jurisdiction. We will own our Treaty Settlement lands. We will have law-making authorities on our Treaty Settlement Lands and we will develop them as we determine. We will no longer be under Canada's or British Columbia's authority on our own lands.
Will treaty extinguish Aboriginal title?
No, treaty will not extinguish Aboriginal title. One of the key challenges of the treaty process is to achieve certainty of land ownership and jurisdiction, while not extinguishing aboriginal title. In the past, the Government of Canada required First Nations to "cede, release and surrender" their aboriginal rights in exchange for treaty rights. This is referred to as an "extinguishment model." We are now negotiating an agreement that will not extinguish our title to our lands and that will define how we will exercise our rights. We Wai Kai rights and title will not be extinguished through treaty – they will be asserted and exercised in accordance with the treaty.
How much have we borrowed for treaty and do we have to pay it back?
As noted above, the funding to negotiate a treaty is now considered "contribution" - meaning it is no longer a loan. Canada is reviewing ways to remove all previous loans incurred for treaty negotiations. This means that it will not cost We Wai Kai to negotiate that treaty, giving us an opportunity to negotiate a full package for the community to consider.
The Laich-Kwil-Tach Treaty Society includes the We Wai Kai First Nation (Cape Mudge Band). Our territory includes the east side of Vancouver Island from the Qualicum River in the south, to the Tsitika River in the north.

Looking for an estimate of costs prior to starting a project?
Due to the wide range of experimental details that ultimately determine which workflows are most appropriate for each project, we are unable to provide specific cost estimates prior to the Project Consultation. Click here to schedule a consultation today!
For most projects, Investigators contribute to salary support for MS Center personnel - enabling us to implement truly modern and customized methods most appropriate for the study - but without the "nickel and dime" approach commonly found in core facilities. Such approaches, when applied to MS, would be cost-prohibitive for most modern studies.
Salary support is provided via invoicing and/or percent effort on grants.
For each project, the following are calculated on a per workflow basis. Each project may be accomplished using one or many workflows.


(i) to educate the public on the wide range of approaches to personal development that are on offer, (ii) to support practitioners by providing an affordable publicity service, (iii) to network with other publications and organisations which share the aim, ie to promote a new paradigm of "wholism or "holism" whereby people are viewed as whole persons (integrating body, mind and spirit), rather than a collection of organs or symptoms, and furthermore, we can become the authors of our own progress, rather than passive recipients of therapeutic services. The main idea of "pathways", therefore, is that everyone can find something relevant in what we publish to help them on their own path.
Over the years the holistic field has expanded rapidly, and we cover the whole range of complementary /alternative therapies for physical health, plus spiritual/ transpersonal approaches to personal development, as well as linking in with organisations concerned with healing the planet. Instead of two, sometimes three shows per year, we support dozens by publicising them, and attend as many as we can to do our "networking thing". In our publications - which have become two, one specifically for the North of England (where we have incorporated Vibes magazine), the other still covering the South of England, we also try to feature as many Open Meetings as possible, because these enable individuals to sample at low cost, without commitment, different approaches which may be relevant to their needs.
We are only relatively recently using the web as our main focus has been our paper publications and exhibition leaflet display service. Pages accessed from the top section of the column on the left describe our services, whilst pages accessed from our home page reflect the contents of our paper publications and more. Please contact us any time with your ideas about how we can develop our services to make them more useful to you.

An interesting variety of funding illustrates the dilemma for Chinese politicians
Slocal self hina financiers have a complex identity. In their responsibilities for land development and public works, they act on behalf of the city and provincial authorities and with their approval. But at the same time they represent large companies known as local government funding (lgfvs) that have the potential to attract billions of dollars from global investors. Thousands lgfvnationwide owed about 53 trillion yuan ($ 8.3 trillion, equivalent to 52% per annum). GDP) in debt last year.
Conflicts of interest from the heads of these hybrid firms naturally arose. In some cases, they were caught when friendly private companies gave lucrative stakes in government projects. Others used their official status to guarantee bank loans to friends. In Sichuan Province, it was recently revealed that a government financier had lent public funds to private firms at rates up to 20% per year. In Hunan Province, a chief was caught charging companies working with the government for consulting and paperwork. This practice can be used in the private sector, but not in anti-corruption investigators.
The central government is showing new interest in such cunning deals. More than 40 high-ranking officials on lgfvsince the beginning of the year have been under investigation or detained. The Ministry of Finance has warned provincial authorities about the risks of corruption in the quasi-public sector. Renewed attention to vaccination in lgfvs betrays growing concerns about the role of companies in delivering economic growth, as well as the piles of debt they have accumulated in the process.
lgfvs are an exclusively Chinese problem. Invented in the 1990s to circumvent rules prohibiting local governments from accumulating debt, companies have become one of the most important sources of economic growth over the past two decades as they have implemented a huge number of government projects. Their non-governmental status allowed them to borrow heavily from investors in China and abroad. One of the quirks lgfvwith the fact that it is the city and provincial authorities on the hook for these debts. But lgfvborrowings are not included in official state budgets, which makes it difficult to assess risks.
The latest study brings with it two complications. For starters, it happens at an awkward moment. The economy has been hit hard by recent blockades to contain Covid-19. In response, China's leaders announced plans for infrastructure spending this year to help achieve A high GDP– target growth of 5.5%. lgfvS will typically play a key role in financing and contracting most construction activities across the country. But dispersing corruption and other restrictions mean managers will be less at risk. Usually this will be considered a good thing. This time, however, the reluctance to undertake new projects may come at a price GDP growth at a time when the Communist Party cannot afford it.
Moreover, tighter surveillance has led to unintentional exposure lgfvwith currency risk. To issue bonds in China, companies must obtain the permission of regulators. Closer control over their use of funds has led to the issuance of land debts lgfvin the first four months of 2022 it decreased by 22% compared to the same period last year. This pushed the company into a riskier offshore market: the issuance of dollar bonds lgfvAccording to the rating agency Pengyuan, over the same period it grew by about 150%. But few of these companies receive dollar income, which complicates the redemption of bonds. Send by default shock wave through the bond market.
Such dangers explain why Beijing technocrats want to diminish value lgfvs, especially since local governments can now issue bonds directly, reducing the need for simple workarounds. However, while the goal of growth is in jeopardy, lgfvs going nowhere. ■

Chapter 442 - Chapter Leader!
In the desolate forest, Zhao Feng's eyebrows were furrowed and he rubbed his temples. A wave of pain came from his left eye.
He didn't know if it was just him, but the freezing pond in his left eye started to ripple. It was as if an ice mountain was about to melt.
Zhao Feng felt slightly tired.
He had a similar feeling before when the G.o.d's Spiritual Eye went through a change, but it hurt more this time.
It was fine if he didn't use his G.o.d's Spiritual Eye, but once he did the pain would be tens of times to hundreds of times stronger.
Zhao Feng couldn't confirm whether this was because he had overused his eye in the Ruins or his G.o.d's Spiritual Eye was about to evolve.
Maybe it was a bit of both and it had started to undergo an unknown change.
The change in the G.o.d's Spiritual Eye and what it would turn into was something Zhao Feng couldn't control.
Furthermore, Zhao Feng was expectant and slightly worried for it. He didn't know what the next change of the G.o.d's Spiritual Eye would be.
Zhao Feng forcefully calmed himself down and circulated his bloodline power.
A cooling sensation rushed into the dimension of his left eye and blocked off the freezing pond.
In the next instant, Zhao Feng's left iris became black again but was dim.
Within the dimension of his left eye, the cold of the freezing aura had disappeared and was replaced by a smooth, watery feel.
Zhao Feng found that the state of his bloodline was between ice and water.
Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and sent a flower of ice and lightning into the air. A ripple of water-like substance bloomed like a crystal.
The change in power of the palm wasn't much different, but Zhao Feng found that his control and usage of his bloodline power was more than twice as smooth as before.
Zhao Feng didn't know whether the change in the G.o.d's Spiritual Eye was good or bad, but he was confident that, even if he didn't use his G.o.d's Spiritual Eye, his battle power and hidden cards were enough to dominate the Thirteen Countries and two Strong Countries.
At this moment in time, Zhao Feng didn't dare to easily use the G.o.d's Spiritual Eye and wasn't sure where to go.
The little thieving cat jumped onto his shoulder and threw a couple old coins into the air before smiling and pointing toward a certain direction.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile. He half-believed and half-doubted the little thieving cat's divination ability.
Zhao Feng turned into a blurry arc of lightning that sped toward a certain area.
According to the direction the little thieving cat pointed out, Zhao Feng flew several thousand miles at once.
In front were barren lands, but there was the occasional river and lake which made Zhao Feng's G.o.d's Spiritual Eye feel familiar and close.
Zhao Feng obviously met some deadly beasts in this period, but he killed them with a flick of his fingers.
Zhao Feng's cultivation had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and could be considered a half-step True Lord Rank. Even if he didn't use his G.o.d's Spiritual Eye, he wasn't scared of normal True Lord Ranks.
After getting a little tired, Zhao Feng summoned the Azure Swallow from the ancient metal ring.
The ancient metal ring was indeed a worthy present given by the Purple Saint Partial Spirit. It could store normal items as well as spiritual pets.
Because he didn't focus on raising it, the Azure Swallow's cultivation was only at the half-step True Spirit Realm, but its flying capability was much stronger than normal True Spirit Realms.
After flying another several thousand miles, Zhao Feng still didn't escape the barren lands and was slightly angered; he was ready to pull out the little thieving cat and question it.
From a canyon below, next to a long river, sprouted seven or eight figures.
These figures had considerable cultivation: the weakest was a Seventh Sky Ascended Realm, there were two half-step True Spirit Realms, and the leader was an expert at the True Spirit Realm.
These figures seemed to have just found Zhao Feng and charged over with red eyes and killing intent.
Zhao Feng didn't even know what was going on and was innocently being attacked.
He quickly scanned over these people and saw that the seven or eight of them were ruffled. It was obvious that they had fought a battle not long ago.
The leader was a brown-robed elder who was at the True Spirit Realm and was stronger than Master Haiyun from back then.
He couldn't detect Zhao Feng's cultivation, but he was certain that the latter was at the True Spirit Realm.
They had just fought several battles and their strength wasn't at their peak.
The other six or seven people instantly became cautious. Although they had more people, they would still pay a huge price to heavily injure or kill a True Spirit Realm expert.
In a normal situation, they would lose over half of their people to win.
Zhao Feng's expression turned from surprise to joy and interest after being surrounded by the eight people.
Zhao Feng let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing Zhao Feng become happy instead of shocked after being surrounded, the brown-robed elder's face became more solemn and he cursed in his heart.
It was a half-step True Spirit Realm wealthy-robed youth who shouted.
Facing this situation, Zhao Feng instinctively used his Eye of Heart to question these people with the highest efficiency, but the pain from his G.o.d's Spiritual Eye made him give up this thought.
Aye, he wasn't used to the days of not using the G.o.d's Spiritual Eye.
Zhao Feng sighed helplessly, but thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face.
In the past, he had the G.o.d's Spiritual Eye and its abilities revealed everything in front of him.
The feeling of control was powerful but made the process lose its flavor.
This change in state of heart made Zhao Feng's cold expression melt and become more playful.
Zhao Feng pretended to be mysterious and gave his name.
Back then, Zhao Feng had partic.i.p.ated in the Thirteen Countries Alliance Banquet and came first. His name was struck across the Thirteen Countries.
Although two years had pa.s.sed, Zhao Feng still believed that his name wasn't fully forgotten by the people.
The seven to eight people paused slightly and a couple of them started to think but couldn't remember any True Spirit Realm expert called Zhao Feng.
The people glanced at each other with puzzlement and surprise, then all turned toward the brown-robed elder.
The brown-robed elder was obviously very experienced and knew most of the True Spirit Realms in the Cloud area.
However, the brown-robed elder also shook his head and locked his eyebrows.
In the two Strong Countries, such a young True Spirit Realm genius would've been among Bei Moi and company who had entered the Sacred True Dragon Gathering months ago.
Seeing the expression of these people, Zhao Feng was very surprised.
Back then, he was considered famous across the Thirteen Countries, but these people didn't even know his name.
"Chapter Leader Zhao… Chapter Leader!?" The brown-robed elder's heart jumped as he stared at Zhao Feng with fear.
Across the Cloud area, True Spirit Realm cultivators were high up and usually all at least an Elder.
The t.i.tle of Chapter Leader sounded like a mid-tier t.i.tle, which was impossible for the Cloud area.
Only True Lord Rank cultivators from several hundred years ago, when the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion almost united the continent, were given the t.i.tle of Chapter Leader.
Especially in the past few years, the sp.a.w.n of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were starting to come back to life in the edges of the continent.
The Iron Dragon Alliance seemed to be backed up by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. This wasn't a secret amongst the upper echelons of the Cloud area.
The brown-robed elder started to sweat coldly as he panicked with fear.
If his guesses were right, then even if his party was several times stronger, it still wouldn't be enough to fill the gap in the opponent's teeth.
Any one of the Chapter Leaders of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion would be enough to rule a side.
Back then, any Chapter of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion could destroy the Cloud area.
"That's right, I'm Chapter Leader Zhao," Zhao Feng said casually and didn't disagree.
He was the Chapter Leader of the Iron Blood Religion and, from the brown-robed elder's reaction, he had his guesses.
This wasn't the Thirteen Countries, and if this place wasn't the Iron Dragon Strong Country then it was the Sky Rich Strong Country.
No one from the Thirteen Countries would not know Zhao Feng's name.
After all, he had won the Alliance Banquet and gained a warrant from Master Haiyun afterward.
So, was this place the Sky Rich Strong Country or the Iron Dragon Strong Country?
The brown-robed elder took a cold breath and helplessness appeared on his face.
Zhao Feng's aura was unfathomable and seemed to envelope the world. The brown-robed elder couldn't see through it.
Hearing the opponent call himself "Chapter Leader," the brown-robed elder was 50-60% sure who he was.
The brown-robed elder yelled as his Qi of True Spirit started to burn.
In that instant, a radius of twenty to thirty yards became covered with yellow light and crushed toward Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng was surprised as his body became slightly heavier.
To stop Zhao Feng, the brown-robed elder had burnt his Qi of True Spirit to give "Third Highness" and company a chance to escape.
The wealthy-robed youth, or Third Highness, had red and teary eyes as he retreated with the other six people.
Before he retreated, he gave a deep glance toward the blue-haired youth. Who was he to make the powerful Elder Jiang feel despair?
The brown-robed Elder Jiang roared as he burnt his Qi of True Spirit and thrust out several palms of yellow stone dragons that engulfed Zhao Feng's figure.

How to treat moth infested carpets

How to clean coir carpets
What are little black bugs with white stripes?
How to smooth out lumps in a rug
A moth infestation in your home's carpet can devastate the carpet. It is actually the larvae of the moths that eat your carpet, as it is a food source for them. Female moths can lay up to 150 eggs at a time, which hatch in only five days. The lifespan of a moth can be anywhere from two months to two years, and their larval stage can last from 2 to 30 months. In that amount of time, moth larvae can completely destroy any rug or carpet that they are living on. Rugs containing wool and other animal fibres are vulnerable to moth infestation.
Clean the rug. Larger rugs or rugs that are fastened to the floor will need professional cleaning, but smaller rugs can be washed using a regular washer and dryer. Use hot water, if possible. Cleaning the rug helps to remove the larvae, and the hot dryer kills many of the eggs and remaining larvae.
Use a pesticide or insecticide formulated specifically for killing moth larvae and eggs. Spray the pesticide on the front and back of the rug either outside or in a well-ventilated area. If possible, roll the rug up and let it sit at least overnight to allow the pesticide to do its work.
Vacuum, sweep or beat the rug to remove the dead moth larvae once the rug is dry.
Wash and dry the rug once again, making sure to use hot water, if possible.
Spray all carpet in the home with a moth repellent containing magnesium silicofluoride. Reapply the moth repellent every three years or every time the rug is washed.

Vacuum and wash your rugs and carpets regularly to prevent moth infestation.
Check dark places and underneath furniture for moths and bugs.
Moth balls do not kill moths or larvae. They are only a mild repellent and do not work on carpets.
The most eco-friendly and effective insecticide used to treat moth infested rugs is pyrethrum.
Only spray pesticides and other chemicals outside or in well-ventilated areas.

Welcome to Transformation Talk. Every Thursday for a year, I'll post an interview with someone who is a force for good in the world. These men and women have either deepened their passion or found their calling after experiencing a loss, trauma or diagnosis.
I want to broaden the conversation around grief and it's transformative power. My hope is that in their words you'll find echoes of your story. In their inspired actions, you'll see yourself and your immense possibility.
Today's interview is with author and coach Erica Staab, who has been a personal touchstone for me in my healing journey. Her kindness, compassion and complete acceptance of others radiate off the screen. I hope you enjoy her words as much as I do.
Leave a comment below to be entered into the drawing for a copy of Erica's beautiful book, The In-Between. Winner will be chosen at random on Wednesday October 17 and announced on this page so be sure to check back!
My day is not complete unless it has lots of words in it – either that I am writing or reading. If I am not doing those things I am probably trying to capture beauty in a photograph, laughing with my niece and nephew or spending time with friends and family. Each day is an effort to live out my prayer to be love made visible.
You can find her at ericastaab.com, or on Facebook. Her book is available by clicking here.
I would for sure like to participate in your give away! I know how much you appreciate her work (sooo good you are doing this series and share this with all of us!) and I would love to read her words myself.
What a total idiot I am 😉 I instantly recognized the cover of the book that is already on my desk! In this case, I still would like to win a copy to give to a friend. Because it's such a gem!
Loved this interview. It's another reminder of what "picking up the pieces" is all about. "It takes as long as it takes" validates what I'm feeling, also makes me a little crazy not knowing how long it's going to be. Right now I am in the place Erica spoke of where, "she didn't know what the beginnings would look like." Grrrrr. Where are the magic mirrors on the wall?
I'd love to add Erica's book to my library.
What a gift to be able to see one of my favorite bloggers, writers, healers (a healer in this way: "Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity." ~Pema Chödrön) "in person." Erica is such a gift.
I find it so interesting how no matter the source of grief, it is the same in so many ways. For Alana, it was her son, for Erica her brother, for me two of my dogs and a dear friend lost to cancer–but we can all recognize each other's pain so clearly, hold space for it, provide comfort. Thank you for this interview, for the willingness you both have to show up with an open heart, even after it's been so broken.
Ah yes Jill, it doesn't matter the source of grief does it? It only matters that we feel it, deeply.
Thank you for landing here for a moment and sharing a piece of yourself.
Thank you for your heartfelt sharing, Erica and to Alana, for creating this healing space, this community. I look forward to meeting more people you've met in your journey whose lives have been poswerfully and positively transformed by grief.
Love it! Transformation talks. I'll keep tuning in!
I loved watching this, thanks to both of you! – and hope these talks find a very wide audience. What a gift, to hear your story, Erica.
The winner of the book giveaway, as chosen by random.org, is "s". Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments.

Three Heavyweight Clashes Boxing Fans Would Love to See
by Barbara Herrera November 24, 2021
There is still speculation in the air over who Tyson Fury is going to face next. Most are assuming it will be Dillian Whyte, who is the mandatory WBC challenger, but the fight is yet to be confirmed, leaving a strange sense of limbo for Fury, who proved himself as the best in the business by beating Deontay Wilder for a second time earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk are set to lock horns again at some stage in the new year after the Ukrainian upset the Brit at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the autumn.
Overall, there is a sense that boxing fans will be forced to wait to see the fights they crave so when it comes to the biggest names going head-to-head. Read on, as we look at a few mouthwatering clashes that would have every boxing enthusiast rubbing their hands in anticipation.
Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua
Source: talkingpointssports.com
There's no doubt that this battle of the British would have fans on the edge of their seats. Indeed, the pair came close to confirming a contest earlier this year, but Wilder's demands to fight Fury for a third time meant that those plans had to be put on the backburner. Then, when Usyk shocked those who bet on boxing by defeating Joshua, things were held up further.
There is still hope that a clash between Fury and Joshua will be arranged at some point, especially if the Watford man can overcome Usyk in the rematch. It would be incredible to see two of the best British fighters of the modern era go toe-to-toe, but the pressure is on Joshua to make sure he is still of the required level to earn a shot at the unbeaten 'Gypsy King'.
Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk
Source: manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Of course, Usyk is very much the new kid on the block as far as the heavyweight division is concerned, and the Ukrainian has already gone a long way towards establishing himself as one of the leading names in top-level boxing.
If the 34-year-old can get the better of Joshua once again, then the next logical step will be to take on Fury in a unification bout, and it would be interesting to see how he would handle the challenge of going up against such a renowned figure in the sport.
On current form, it's hard to see how anyone could defeat Fury given that Wilder fought brilliantly against him and still came out on the losing side. But Usyk might just be the man to tear up the script and cause a stir. It would be a fascinating tussle.
Anthony Joshua v Deontay Wilder

If Joshua cannot overcome Usyk in their rematch, then there is potential for him to take on Deontay Wilder as the pair attempt to wrangle their way back into the heavyweight conversation.
The two losses against Fury will have hurt Wilder badly, particularly the second one given how well he fought for long periods, and it would be interesting to see how he'd fare against someone like Joshua.
They are both knockout artists in their own ways, making a potential match-up between Joshua and Wilder very intriguing, especially if their respective reputations were on the line.

The Roman fort at Bochastle, just outside Callander, is situated on the south bank of Garbh Uisge (River Leny) and was established in AD 85 during the governorship of Sallustius Lucullus.
Two years after Governor Gnaeus Julius Agricola's victory over the Caledonians at the Battle of Mons Graupius in AD 83, Agricola's successor, Sallustius Lucullus, began building a line of forts to contain and monitor the northern tribes.
The fort at Bochastle was one of a number of Glen Forts or so-called Glen-Blocker Forts that were built to contain the highlands. These forts could also provide bases from where offensive action could be launched. Bochastle fort was placed where Garbh Uisge and Eas Gobhain converge to form the River Teith, allowing the Romans to supply and reinforce the fort by boat.
The fort was built upon an earlier temporary marching camp that was constructed when Agricola was campaigning in the area around AD 81.
Bochastle fort does not appear to have been in use for long, perhaps only one winter, and it was certainly abandoned by AD 90.

About Perrier Jouet
Perrier-Jouët was founded in 1811 in Epernay by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier and his wife, Adele Jouët. One of the most prestigious houses in Champagne, the firm was shipping wine to Great Britain by 1813 and to the United States by 1837. Perrier-Jouët owns 266 acres of vineyards in Champagne, with an average rating of 95%, and is known worldwide for its consistency of style.
By the end of the 19th Century, its Brut cuvées earned the reputation of nobility and prestige that continues today. Perrier Jouët's glamorous "Cuvée Belle Epoque", known in the United States as Fleur de Champagne, was launched in 1969 and has become the most important cuvée de prestige to appear after World War II. The bottle is adorned with enamel-painted anenomes originally created by Emile Gallé in 1900, but the wine is as famous for its taste as it is for its beautiful packaging.
The house produces approximately 3,000,000 bottles annually.
The world's oldest champagne (Perrier-Jouët, produced in 1825) was opened and tasted in 2009, still tasting good
