I had been suffering from lower back pain for the last few years, and presumed it was something I would just have to live with as a side-effect to being a slouching desk jockey, chained to my Mac 8 hours a day.And then one morning, over my usual post-shower caffeine fix and social media catch up, I saw a Facebook post from a gym-bunny friend of mine, complaining about her sore hip flexors after using a foam roller incorrectly. To be honest, she might as well have been talking about home decorating, as 90% of her post initially made no real sense to me - until we caught up over lunch. And then she explained her muscle injury and how she wished that she did some research before launching into a new workout routine. Now I'm most definitely not a gym addict - I try to go three times a week, and then mostly for light cardio on the treadmill, exercise bike and maybe the rowing machine if I'm feeling particularly adventurous. But after some research, it seemed that her injury and my constant back ache had something in common - hip flexors. This led me to carry out a lot more research, which eventually turned into this little book - and my release from constant nagging lower back pain.Maybe like me, until recently you had never heard of hip flexors, and were unaware how easy they can be to exercise and stretch, and the everyday benefits that unlocking or loosening them can have. And that’s why I wanted to share my discoveries, in the hope that they can benefit you too. The idea is that you’ll easily be able to read this book in one sitting, and that it’ll be a handy form of reference (on your Kindle or smartphone if you have the digital version, or the pocket-sized paperback) for you to carry out the five simple exercises as often as you like. I appreciate that many of us prefer videos over illustrations to explain exercises, so where possible I've included links to helpful instructional videos too.I look forward to helping you to have stronger, less tight hip flexors and all the benefits that come with them!L.W.

They Found The Holiest Land! Now You Can Explore It!Antarctica in 75+ New Jaw Dropping NASA Grade Maps!The whole continent in pinpoint detail!You can't argue with a map!What can I tell you? The shock I experienced when I first viewed these maps of Antarctica shattered my mind. I experienced a complete collapse of reality. You can’t find this stuff on Google Maps. What I saw could not possibly exist. It had no precedents at all in the modern world. Whole mountains merely carven statues? Spaceport megacities? brilliantly illumined? buzzing with activity? Resting in tropical hued splendor? In this, the most forbidding, treacherous climate imaginable???? So, of course, I had to descend into this madness further, further.. one lost mariner stealing snapshots of secrets not secret anymore. Here only The Southern Cross keeps constant fix. Everything else just spins spins spins.....The first wave of European Antarctic explorers- heroes all- returned babbling. Those with no knowledge or imagination dismissed such sights, so easily scoffed at, as hysterical nonsense. Obviously such tales were just incoherent rantings, sad confirmations that the brutal ice kingdoms were no lands for the foolish to challenge.Fortunately, stronger souls discerned in those heroes' fevered ramblings hints of obscure, quaint legends from long lost times before time. But those stories were kept by simple polar dwellers a whole planet away- aboriginals of the high Canadian arctic. Was there any connection between the two?Did Canadian Inuit tales of a magical world within a luminous Aurora Borealis hold the key? We haven’t dug far enough to know what’s really down there, have we? Our deepest dig, a 12 mile deep hole, isn’t quite the center of the earth, is it?These were just the first waves of uninvited, colonial wanderers who fell off the edge of the world. We've come a long way since. We know better now. Soon NASA will even tell us whether the moon’s a rock?… a balloon?… a clock, perhaps! Can the same be said for this terra firma? This selection of maps will help you find some answers to impossible questions like these. It contains many of the most astonishing, overview snapshots of past antediluvian- prior to major comet destruction?- civilizations readily visible to casual observers of the digital continent. Now you can visit otherworldly archaeological sites too! Mystic Antarctica is truly a book that sells itself among readers of this genre. I invite you to take a look inside Mystic Antarctica. After all, we’ve come this far. Why turn back now?

For almost a century, W. A. Bentley caught and photographed thousands of snowflakes in his workshop at Jericho, Vermont, and made available to scientists and art instructors samples of his remarkable work. His painstakingly prepared images were remarkable revelations of nature's diversity in uniformity: no two snowflakes are exactly alike, but all are based on a common hexagon.In 1931, the American Meteorological Society gathered the best of Bentley's photos and had them published; that work has long been available in a Dover reprint edition. The present volume includes a selection of 72 of the best plates (containing over 850 royalty-free, black-and-white photographs), carefully selected from that larger collection.An inexhaustible source of design inspiration for artists, designers, and craftspeople, these graceful patterns are ideal for use in textile and wallpaper design, as well as a host of other creative projects. These images will also appeal to anyone intrigued by the intricacy and beauty of design in the natural world.

Don’t Just Read Prophecy. Step into Its Fulfillment. The study of prophecy inspires elaborate timelines and speculation about which world leader might rise to power in the last days. But meanwhile, it’s far too easy to miss the significant prophetic signs contained in stories of biblical characters, in God’s creation, and in the lives and actions of today’s Israelis and Palestinians. The Holy Land Key opens our eyes to little-known aspects of prophecy, including: · God’s master plan revealed in the seven Feasts of the Lord · The ingathering of God’s people, and the ways Israelis are hearing from God today · Significant prophetic patterns discovered in the lunar cycle · Awe-inspiring testimonies to God’s glory spelled out in the night sky · Glimpses of God’s future kingdom revealed in the stories of well-known figures from Scripture For decades, author and pastor Ray Bentley has partnered with God’s people in Israel, including Judea and Samaria, the area known as the West Bank. There, he witnesses the fulfillment of prophecy firsthand. This is your introduction to prophetic signs that God reveals in sometimes unexpected ways. He does not want us to miss the work he is doing to usher in the coming Kingdom.
