Through the eyes of Amy...

We know that the Holiday Season can be quite the burden on your wallet, so if you're feeling crafty we have some DIY projects that you gift to your special somebody! These projects are fun, easy, and spread holiday cheer without having to spread out your finances.

1. T-Shirt Designs
Get creative with your digital designing skills and create a design that can be ironed onto a shirt with special icon-on t-shirt transfer paper. Take care to follow the printing instructions in the packaging carefully and take note of the washing instructions.

2. Handmade Clay Charms
From Polymer to Fimo clay there are many types of bakeable clays you can use to mold your very own custom-designed charms. Simple tools such as a small blade or texture tools would help you add detail to your charm as well.

3. Printed Towels
Get some fabric paint, sponges, scissors, and blank towels. Cut the sponges into whatever shape you want, dip the sponge design into some fabric paint and splot away on the blank towel for a simple and fun design.

4. Chalkboard Frames
Stay organized throughout the summer with your very own chalkboard by taking an inexpensive frame and painting the glass with chalkboard paint. Glue a strong magnet onto the back of your new chalkboard so that you can put it up in your room.

5. Personalized Tote Bags
Some fabric dye, fabric paint, a blank tote bag, and paint brushes are all you need to create a personalized tote bag. Whether it is for the beach or casual shopping, you will be going out with flare.

Feel free to share photos of your own results of these do-it-yourself projects!

    Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using?
    I'm looking to start my own blog in the near
    future but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design and
    style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something
    unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    Остеопатическое лечение: принципы, методы и показания
    Остеопатия — это направление медицины, основанное на целостном подходе к организму. Она рассматривает тело как единую систему, где дисфункция одного элемента влияет на другие. Остеопатическое лечение направлено на восстановление баланса, мобилизацию внутренних ресурсов и устранение причин заболеваний, а не только их симптомов.
    в Центре Ода в Москве остеопатическое лечение позвоночника
    1. Основные принципы остеопатии
    Остеопатия базируется на трех ключевых принципах:
    1. Единство тела – все органы, мышцы, кости и нервы взаимосвязаны.
    2. Структура и функция – нарушение анатомии (смещение, напряжение) ведет к дисфункции органа.
    3. Саморегуляция – организм способен самовосстанавливаться при правильном воздействии.

    2. Методы остеопатического лечения
    Остеопатия включает несколько направлений:
    Структуральная остеопатия
    • Работа с опорно-двигательным аппаратом (суставы, позвоночник, мышцы).
    • Применяется при остеохондрозе, сколиозе, болях в спине, последствиях травм.
    Висцеральная остеопатия
    • Воздействие на внутренние органы (печень, почки, желудок).
    • Помогает при нарушениях пищеварения, спайках, застойных явлениях.
    Краниосакральная терапия
    • Коррекция ритмов черепа и крестца.
    • Используется при мигренях, бессоннице, неврозах, последствиях родовых травм.

    3. Показания к остеопатическому лечению
    • Лечение заболеваний позвоночника (грыжи, протрузии, радикулит).
    • Лечение головных болей и мигрени.
    • Лечение нарушения осанки (сколиоз, кифоз).
    • Лечение болезней суставов (артроз, артрит).
    • Лечение проблем ЖКТ (запоры, дискинезия желчевыводящих путей).
    • Лечение последствий травм (переломы, растяжения, ДТП).
    • Лечение приинекологических нарушениях (болезненные месячные, спайки).
    • Лечение при неврологических расстройствах (бессонница, ВСД). Лечение синдром хронической усталости (выгорание, стрессы).

    4. Как проходит сеанс остеопатии?
    1. Диагностика – врач остеопат руками определяет зоны напряжения и дисфункции.
    2. Коррекция – мягкие мануальные техники (без резких движений!).
    3. Рекомендации – советы по образу жизни, упражнениям.
    Длительность: 40–60 минут.
    Курс: обычно 3–8 сеансов с интервалом в 1–2 недели.

    5. Противопоказания
    ? Острые инфекции (температура, воспаление).
    ? Остеопороз в тяжелой форме.
    ? Опухоли, тромбозы.
    ? Психические расстройства.

    6. Остеопатия для детей
    Особенно эффективна при:
    • Лечение родовых травмах.
    • Кривошее.
    • Лечение гиперактивности (СДВГ).
    • Лечение при задержке развития.

    7. Отличие остеопатии от мануальной терапии
    Критерий Остеопатия Мануальная терапия
    Подход Целостный, мягкий Локальный, жесткий
    Техники Безболезненные Может быть дискомфорт
    Цель Устранение причины Снятие симптомов

    8. Вывод
    Остеопатия – безопасный и эффективный метод лечения, который помогает не только при болях в спине, но и при многих хронических заболеваниях. Главное – выбрать квалифицированного специалиста с медицинским образованием.

    “You have a government that is reckless about what is going to happen to Guyana,” said Melinda Janki, an international lawyer in Guyana who is handling several lawsuits against Exxon. It’s pursuing “a supposed course of development that is actually backward and destructive,” she told CNN.

    And while plenty of Guyanese people welcome the new oil industry, some say Guyana’s startling economic statistics do not reflect a real-world prosperity for ordinary people, many of whom are struggling with the higher prices accompanying the oil boom. Inflation rose 6.6% in 2023, with prices of some foods shooting up much more rapidly.

    “Since the oil extraction began in Guyana, we have noticed that our cost of living has gone sky high,” said Wintress White, of Red Thread, a non-profit that focuses on improving living conditions for Guyanese women. “The money is not trickling down to the masses,” she told CNN.

    CNN contacted President Ali, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Finance for comment but received no response.
    Guyana, a former Dutch then British colony which gained independence in 1966, is one of only a handful of countries that is a “carbon sink,” meaning it stores more planet-heating pollution than it produces. This is due to its vast rainforest; trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow.

    The country has protected its biodiversity where others have destroyed theirs, President Ali said in a BBC interview last year. In 2009, the country signed an agreement with Norway, which promised Guyana more than $250 million to preserve its 18.5 million hectares, or nearly 46 million acres, of forests.

    Ali insists the country can balance climate leadership and fossil fuel exploitation. The new oil wealth will allow Guayana to develop, including building climate adaptations such as sea walls, he has said. He has also pointed to the continued failures of wealthy countries, already grown rich on their own fossil fuels, to help poorer countries with climate finance.

    But there are concerns Guyana could fall victim to the “resource curse,” in which vast, new wealth ?can actually make life worse for those who live there.

    The voice of ‘White Lotus’ star Walton Goggins is the lullaby we didn’t know we needed
    jumper exchange
    While his “White Lotus” character Rick has been the source of some stress this season, Walton Goggins is here to soothe us into a state of dreamy sleep to make up for it.

    The actor has partnered with relaxation and meditation app Calm for one of their famed Sleep Stories, lending his smoky voice to a fable titled “The Yard Sale.”

    Goggins announced the Sleep Story on his verified Instagram on Tuesday, writing, “A friend once said to me the first question you ask someone shouldn’t be, ‘How are you?’ but rather, ‘How did you sleep last night?’ I agree.”

    The post included an excerpt from the story, in which Goggins is heard languidly instructing listeners to relax their bodies and get into bed. “You could even climb into a hammock,” he added. “I wouldn’t do that because I’ve never gracefully got in or out of one.”

    In the caption, the actor also wrote that he “wanted to create a Sleep Story that feels dreamlike, helping people slow their minds down by wandering through a yard sale (which happens to be one of my favorite things to do), uncovering hidden treasures.”

    “It’s the Walton Goggins version of counting sheep. I hope you enjoy,” he added.

    Other celebrities who have read bedtime stories in the hopes of putting audiences to sleep include Dolly Parton and the late Jimmy Stewart, whose voice was featured in a Calm Christmas Sleep Story in 2023 thanks to generative AI technology.

    Goggins currently stars on “The White Lotus,” where his character is often the most stressed out and tortured of the ensemble, at one point setting a slew of snakes free.

    A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards
    kyberswap
    Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny, rainforested country.

    It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019, Exxon and its partners, US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC, had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650,000 barrels of oil a day, with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027.

    Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035.

    This country — sandwiched between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush, well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90% of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate.

    While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand, and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources, critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world, and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana.
    Since Exxon’s transformative discovery, Guyana’s government has tightly embraced oil as a route to prosperity. In December 2019, then-President David Granger said in a speech, “petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all … Every Guyanese will benefit.”

    It’s a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure, healthcare and climate adaptation.
