Review: John Carter

Chick 1 says:

Adaptations of this nearly 100-yr-old novel have been attempted over the years but none by a studio with the heavy lifting capabilities of  Disney.  The original novel, written by Tarzan author Edgar Rice Burroughs, is generally considered sci-fi but defies categorization and has influenced storytellers through the century from H.P. Lovecraft to Ray Bradbury to George Lucas and James Cameron.

The Basics:

Shortly after the US Civil War, John Carter has run afoul of both the Calvary and the Apaches but in the ensuing chaos, he suddenly finds himself in a strange land, discovers he is unbelievably fast and strong, and is soon surronded by green, 4-armed creatures.  Yep, he’s on Mars.

What I Liked:

Despite the fact that this novel established a huge portion of the basic sci-fi tropes we are very familiar with today, I didn’t know what was going to happen.  Yes, I knew the major points,who would live or die, who would end up with whom.  But I didn’t know what journey would take us there. 

The visuals and art direction were beautiful and felt modern and classic at the same time.  Occasionally I felt I was watching a new movie from the Star Wars era (the good ones). Several times composer Michael Giacchino channels John Williams.  Costumes, sets, CG, and even alien technology all felt fresh and new.

The cast is packed with great actors although a few are pushed to the background due to the dense storyline. (more James Purefoy, please)

What I Didn’t Like:

Let’s start with John Carter himself, Taylor Kitsch.  He’s OK but not great.  Fortunately, he doesn’t have too much to do but be muscular and beat people up.  I think what bothered me was his voice which sounds like he’s doing his best Christian Bale/Batman impersonation.  And, of all the common charaterizations in the story, the brooding, alienated hero just didn’t connect with me.  Blah, blah, blah, tragedy, blah, blah, blah, grief.  Seen it.

I was also a little frustrated with the 3D.  It seemed to blur out some of the scenery (both real and CG) which left the movie feeling like it had missed an opportunity to be as epic as say, Lord of the Rings.  There were also several times when I felt like the top of the screen was cut off and I should try to peek up under the top. 

Bottom Line: Just shy of epic but still exciting, creative, and beautifully shot.

    Narwhals may be using their tusks to play, new study finds
    [url=https://lucky-jetts.com]lucky jet на деньги[/url]
    Scientists say they have the first recorded video evidence of narwhals using tusks not only to strike and manipulate fish during feeding but also engage in what appears to be playful behavior, according to the latest research.

    The narwhal, often referred to as the “unicorn of the sea” in a nod to its trademark tusk, has long remained an enigma. Scientists have observed few interactions of narwhals in their natural habitat, creating speculation about the purpose of the species’ distinctive spiraling tusk.

    бот лаки джет
    Found predominantly in males, the tusk grows up to 10 feet (3 meters) long — and previous research has suggested it serves as a competitive display to secure mates. But now, with the help of drones, research conducted in the Canadian High Arctic has uncovered that a narwhal may use its tusk for more than just courtship.

    In total, the researchers newly identified and described 17 distinct behaviors of narwhals involving prey. The findings revealed a wide range of interactions and dynamics between narwhals and fish as well as the extraordinary agility, precision and speed of their tusks to track moving targets, according to the study published February 27 in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.

    “Seeing that these animals are not actually hunting the fish but exploring, manipulating and interacting with it was really a game changer,” said lead author Dr. Gregory O’Corry-Crowe, a research professor in the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University.

    Since so little is understood about this whale species, researchers like O’Corry-Crowe and his colleagues are working diligently to conduct studies to document narwhals’ unknown behaviors to better understand how these animals adapt in a rapidly shifting habitat as oceans warm and sea ice melts.
    Narwhal exploratory behavior
    The study team captured the groundbreaking footage using drones in Creswell Bay, on the eastern side of Somerset Island in Canada’s Nunavut territory, during the summer of 2022.

    As the researchers analyzed the footage, they noticed subtle nuances in the narwhals’ behavior. Footage even captured one instance of a narwhal interacting with a fish by repeatedly nudging it with its tusk — which is actually a giant tooth — without attempting to eat it.

    When researchers observed a lack of aggression in some interactions between narwhals and fish, they realized these scenarios were more similar to a cat-and-mouse game, in which the animals were chasing or “playing” rather than hunting, O’Corry-Crowe said.

    DOGE attempts to enter an agency building led to physical standoff that spilled into court
    [url=https://kra28c.cc]kraken вход[/url]
    A small federal agency that sends money to help communities in Africa became a flashpoint Thursday in the Trump administration’s efforts to shut down foreign aid and reduce the size of the federal government.

    A Trump-backed government official, staffers from the Department of Government Efficiency and federal law enforcement entered the offices of the U.S. African Development Foundation on Thursday, and the fight between the Senate-confirmed foundation’s board and Trump administration emissaries spilled into an emergency court fight, according to court records and photos of the in-person standoff captured by the New York Times.
    https://kra28c.cc
    kraken market
    The standoff was quelled when a judge stepped in Thursday afternoon, keeping the foundation’s existing board in place for a few days until a court hearing could take place.

    The African Development Foundation, an independent agency that has provided more than $100 million to African farmers, entrepreneurs and community organizations in the last five years, has been among the foreign aid groups that Trump has targeted to eliminate via an executive order he issued two weeks ago. The work of DOGE at the agency so far, the lawsuit says, mirrors how other foreign aid agencies have been dismantled by the Trump administration.

    Trump’s plan for the African Development Foundation snapped into action almost immediately, with DOGE staffers meeting with the foundation’s leadership within days of Trump’s February 21 executive order. The Trump administration then told a board member, Ward Brehm, he was being removed from his position, and a new acting chair would be in charge.
    Faced with the overhaul, the board held an emergency meeting on Monday to push back, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington this week. The board decided Trump’s appointee, Peter Marocco — the de-facto acting leader of USAID, another agency Trump has targeted — was not lawfully in the job, and they alerted Congress, the removed board member Ward Brehm’s lawsuit said.

    Marocco still showed up at the fund’s headquarters with staffers of the Department of Government Efficiency on Wednesday afternoon. They “were denied access to those offices,” the lawsuit said. “Marocco and his colleagues threatened to return to the offices with United States Marshals and Secret Service.”

    The crypto industry is advancing. (Just don’t ask it where it’s going.)
    trust wallet
    After a dramatic start to the year, the crypto industry is settling into a new reality — one in which the White House is laying out the red carpet and promising an unprecedented level of support.

    Crypto, a roughly 15-year-old industry that’s largely operated on the fringes of finance, is at a crossroads. For years, it has blamed a hostile regulatory environment for not allowing it to unleash its supposedly revolutionary technology on Americans. Now, though, their favorite bogeyman, Gary Gensler, the Securities and Exchange Commission chief under President Joe Biden, is gone. Crypto cheerleaders have been installed throughout the government.

    The SEC has dropped several enforcement cases against crypto companies and, starting Friday, is hosting a series of public roundtables “to discuss key areas of interest in the regulation of crypto assets.”

    Under President Donald Trump, there’s virtually nothing stopping crypto companies from creating and selling their products.

    At the same time, the same White House’s chaotic trade policy is undermining financial markets’ appetite for risk, leaving bitcoin in limbo, more than 20% off from its record high in January. And while the industry is grateful for all the attention, the White House’s embrace of some of crypto’s less savory aspects, like meme coins, has given serious investors pause.

    Given the enormous potential for the $3 trillion industry in this moment, I checked in with Eswar Prasad, a Cornell University professor of international trade and the author of the 2021 book “The Future of Money,” about the forces disrupting financial technologies.

    Fundamentally, Prasad brings a pragmatist’s view of crypto that is as refreshing as it is rare in a subject area that tends to attract zealots and loudmouths. We spoke over the phone shortly after the first-of-its-kind White House crypto summit earlier this month.

    The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

    Nightcap: We just saw a pretty wild thing happen with the crypto summit — hard to imagine a scenario like that taking place under any previous administration. What were your takeaways?

    Eswar Prasad: The crypto industry is kissing the ring, and I think it’s getting exactly what it wants from the Trump administration, which is the legitimacy provided by government oversight, coupled with what is almost certain to be quite light touch and non-inclusive regulation.

    And I think we saw many of the major players in the crypto industry essentially using the opportunity to not just thank Trump, but try to make the point, which seemed to resonate with Trump, that this industry can power, in some sense, a resurgence of a certain part of the US economy.

    The Landmine Squat is a wonderful energy
    exercise to construct quality thigh muscle mass.
    Nevertheless, it requires more stabilizer muscle tissue,
    together with various again, shoulders, and chest muscular tissues.
    This is a good train for studying the method to squat as a
    end result of it reinforces the sitting-back portion of the squat.

    The quads are make up the strongest and leanest
    muscular tissues you may have in your physique. They are a bunch of four muscles
    positioned at the front of your thighs. If you’re working at a decrease strength to start, you are
    capable of do full-body exercises and incorporate quadriceps exercises inside your workout.
    Constructing quad power while completing strength coaching that translates easily into other
    actions, like lifts and squat variations. The heavier the load, the fewer reps you’ll be capable of
    carry out. If you have a workout bench or a sturdy chair, you probably can carry out Bulgarian cut
    up squats.
    It works with your gluteus medius and minimus muscular tissues to internally rotate and
    abduct your hip, and together with the quadriceps muscle rectus femoris,
    it helps flex your hip. This little guy is a hip stabilizer whose
    primary action is to abduct your hip joint. When you’re standing on one leg attempting to put in your pants within the morning, your gluteus medius keeps
    your pelvis degree and prevents you from toppling over.

    All of those benefits will enhance athleticism and long-term functionality.
    Static stretches haven’t any place in your warm-up as a result of they put your
    muscles to sleep and cut back drive output potential (strength).

    As A Substitute, dynamic stretches lengthen and wake up your muscles, making them rather more warm-up-appropriate.
    Good dynamic leg stretches include leg swings, toe touches,
    and lateral lunges.
    The sartorius muscle can additionally be unique
    in that it’s each a knee and flexor in addition to an abductor.
    In everyday life, you utilize your sartorius when you’re sitting cross-legged or getting right into a automobile.
    In the gym, it assists in plenty of lower-body
    exercises, like squats and lunges, despite the precise fact that it’s not the main player.

    The barbell lunge will strengthen your core, glutes, and thigh muscle tissue.
    In addition, the barbell lunge will let you use more weight than dumbbell lunges.
    Due To This Fact, it’ll get you more strong but additionally place more load on your
    backbone and improve the chance of injury. The Barbell Romanian Deadlift (RDL) is a staple leg day exercise for
    targeting hamstrings and glutes.
    The again squat is often referred to as the king of all workout routines.
    Tom Platz, who had a few of the best legs
    on the planet and was identified for his brutal leg day, is
    a large advocate of the squat. In Contrast to other leg actions,
    this compound barbell lift enables you to use a
    heavier weight. It targets all of the muscles
    in your decrease physique (glutes, hamstrings, quads)
    and will improve your general power. I get it—squats could be tough, and leg
    exercises can be grueling. When you prepare your legs, you’re activating a number of the greatest muscle groups
    in your physique, which helps enhance overall power,
    even in your higher body lifts.
    Inefficient leg workouts are like throwing cash down the drain —
    a waste of useful sources. They love the outcomes, as great-looking
    legs are extremely wanted, however they hate how hard leg coaching can be.
    After all, leg workouts can leave you mendacity on the
    floor in a pool of sweat, questioning whether you’ll have the ability to stroll out of the fitness center without help.
    Research suggests you are in a place to do leg workouts at least three to 4 days per week
    to see results. Or you might begin together with your legs a minimum of twice a
    week and progressively progress over time in your personal training.
    Bear In Mind to provide your legs time to recuperate between workouts to maximize results.

    The fish collectors hoping to save rare species from extinction
    phantom wallet
    In the rural town of Petersham, Massachusetts, 78-year-old Peter George keeps 1,000 fish in his basement.

    “Baseball, sex, fish,” he says, listing his life’s great loves. “My single greatest attribute is that I am passionate about things. That sort of defines me.”

    All of George’s fish are endangered Rift Lake cichlids: colorful, freshwater fish native to the Great Lakes of East Africa. Inside his 42 tanks, expertly squeezed into a single subterranean room, the fish shimmer under artificial lights, knowing nothing of the expansive waters in which their ancestors once swam, thousands of miles away.

    Due to pollution, climate change and overfishing, freshwater fish are thought to be the second most endangered vertebrates in the world. In Lake Victoria, a giant lake shared between Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, over a quarter of endemic species, including countless cichlids, are either critically endangered or extinct.

    But for some species, there is still hope. A community of rare fish enthusiasts collect endangered species of freshwater fish from the lakes and springs of East Africa, Mexico and elsewhere, and preserve them in their personal fish tanks in the hope that they might one day be reintroduced in the wild.

    “I’m a hard ass,” George says. “There is hope.”
    Insurance
    George has been collecting fish since 1948 when, as a four-year-old in the Bronx, he would look after his grandmother’s rainbow fish. He soon developed “multiple tank syndrome” – a colloquial term used by fish collectors to denote the spiral commonly experienced after acquiring one’s first tank, which involves the sufferer buying many more tanks within a short space of time. He has not stopped collecting since.

    Now, George sees himself as a conservationist; his tanks contain what is known as “insurance populations” – populations of endangered fish that are likely to go extinct in their natural habitats. He believes that when the time is right, they can be taken from his collection and returned to their homes. “I would never accept the fact that they couldn’t be reintroduced,” he says.

    The world’s largest architectural model captures New York City in the ’90s
    aerodrome finance
    The Empire State building stands approximately 15 inches tall, whereas the Statue of Liberty measures at just under two inches without its base. At this scale, even ants would be too big to represent people in the streets below.

    These lifelike miniatures of iconic landmarks can be found on the Panorama — which, at 9,335 square feet, is the largest model of New York City, meticulously hand-built at a scale of 1:1,200. The sprawling model sits in its own room at the Queens Museum, where it was first installed in the 1960s, softly rotating between day and night lighting as visitors on glass walkways are given a bird’s eye view of all five boroughs of the city.

    To mark the model’s 60th anniversary, which was celebrated last year, the museum has published a new book offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the Panorama was made. Original footage of the last major update to the model, completed in 1992, has also gone on show at the museum as part of a 12-minute video that features interviews with some of the renovators.

    The Queens Museum’s assistant director of archives and collections, Lynn Maliszewski, who took CNN on a visit of the Panorama in early March, said she hopes the book and video will help to draw more visitors and attention to the copious amount of labor — over 100 full-time workers, from July 1961 to April 1964 — that went into building the model.

    “Sometimes when I walk in here, I get goosebumps, because this is so representative of dreams and hopes and family and struggle and despair and excitement… every piece of the spectrum of human emotion is here (in New York) happening at the same time,” said Maliszewski. “It shows us things that you can’t get when you’re on the ground.”
    Original purpose
    The Panorama was originally built for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, then the largest international exhibition in the US, aimed at spotlighting the city’s innovation. The fair was overseen by Robert Moses, the influential and notorious urban planner whose highway projects displaced hundreds of thousands New Yorkers. When Moses commissioned the Panorama, which had parts that could be removed and redesigned to determine new traffic patterns and neighborhood designs, he saw an opportunity to use it as a city planning tool.

    Originally built and revised with a margin of error under 1%, the model was updated multiple times before the 1990s, though it is now frozen in time. According to Maliszewski, it cost over $672,000 to make in 1964 ($6.8 million in today’s money) and nearly $2 million (about $4.5 million today) was spent when it was last revised in 1992.

    A librarian ran off with a yacht captain in the summer of 1968. It was the start of an incredible love story
    metamask
    The first time Beverly Carriveau saw Bob Parsons, she felt like a “thunderbolt” passed between them.

    “This man stepped out of a taxi, and we both just stared at each other,” Beverly tells CNN Travel today. “You have to remember, this is the ‘60s. Girls didn’t stare at men. But it was a thunderbolt.”

    It was June 1968. Beverly was a 23-year-old Canadian university librarian on vacation in Mazatlan, Mexico, with a good friend in tow.

    Beverly had arrived in Mazatlan that morning. She’d been blown away by the Pacific Ocean views, the colorful 19th-century buildings, the palm trees.

    Now, Beverly was browsing the hotel gift store, admiring a pair of earrings, when she looked up and spotted the man getting out of the taxi. The gift shop was facing the parking lot, and there he was.

    “I was riveted,” says Beverly. “He was tall, handsome…”

    Eventually, Beverly tore away her gaze, bought the earrings and dashed out of the store.

    “We locked eyes so long, I was embarrassed,” she says.

    No words had passed between them. They hadn’t even smiled at each other. But Beverly felt like she’d revealed something of herself. She felt like something had happened, but she couldn’t describe it.
    Beverly rushed to meet her friend, still feeling flustered. Over dinner in the hotel restaurant, Beverly confided in her friend about the “thunderbolt” moment.

    “I told my girlfriend, ‘Something just happened to me. I stared at this man, and I couldn’t help myself.’”

    Then, the server approached Beverly’s table.

    “He said, ‘I have some wine for you, from a man over there.’”

    The waiter was holding a bottle of white wine, indicating at the bar, which was packed with people.

    As a rule, Beverly avoided accepting drinks from men in bars. She never felt especially comfortable with the power dynamic — plus, she had a long-term partner back in Canada.

    “I had a serious boyfriend at home and thought my life was on course,” she says.

    Xavier completes thrilling comeback, Mount St. Mary’s advances as men’s First Four comes to a close
    changenow exchange
    Wednesday saw the men’s First Four come to a close which means only one thing: the 64-team bracket is officially set following No. 11 Xavier’s thrilling come from behind win over No. 11 Texas and No. 16 Mount St. Mary’s victory over No. 16 American in Dayton, Ohio.

    The Musketeers trailed by as many as 13 points, but their offense came alive in the second half behind guard Marcus Foster and forward Zach Freemantle to down the Longhorns 86-80.

    The senior Foster scored a team-high 22 points while Freemantle, on his way to 15 points, threw down a dunk with a second left to seal the comeback win and ignite the fans at UD Arena, which is just over 50 miles away from campus in Cincinnati, Ohio.

    With just under four minutes remaining, Xavier went on an 8-2 run to take a 78-74 lead, their first since the early going of the first half.

    Musketeers head coach Sean Miller crowned Wednesday’s game as “one of the best” he’s been a part of.

    “I thought we were dead in the water two different times,” Miller told the truTV broadcast after the game. “But that’s the one thing about our team — the resiliency of our group has always won out for us. Just when you thought we weren’t gonna make the tournament, we kept winning. Even in this game, just when you’re like, ‘It’s not gonna work out,’ we have a funny way of staying with it.”

    The Longhorns did not go down without a fight as guard Tre Johnson scored a game-high 23 points in the loss.

    Xavier will face No. 6 Illinois in the first round on Friday at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

    No mercado de criptomoedas, dezenas de novos projetos surgem todos os dias. Cada um promete crescimento e lucro para seus investidores, mas apenas alguns realmente oferecem soluções únicas, realistas e estáveis. Entre eles, o token UTLH merece atenção especial. E hoje, vamos analisá-lo não apenas como um ativo digital, mas como uma nova filosofia financeira, capaz de mudar completamente sua abordagem em relação aos investimentos e à renda passiva.O que faz o UTLH se destacar entre milhares de outros tokens?Hoje, a maioria das criptomoedas desempenha um papel puramente especulativo. Os investidores frequentemente compram tokens apenas esperando uma valorização rápida, sem considerar sua aplicação real e estabilidade. Mas no caso do UTLH, a situação é diferente. Este token foi desenvolvido com uma compreensão clara de que qualquer pessoa no mundo moderno precisa de três coisas imediatamente:Estabilidade em tempos de instabilidade econômica global.Acesso a financiamento conveniente sem burocracia e juros altos.Renda passiva constante, independente das condições econômicas externas. Essas necessidades tornaram-se a base sobre a qual o token UTLH e toda a sua ecossistema única foram criados.Nova Filosofia Financeira: Equilíbrio entre Rentabilidade e EstabilidadeO UTLH não é apenas um token que você guarda esperando pela valorização. Ele é uma ferramenta com a qual você pode gerenciar efetivamente suas finanças e criar um fluxo de caixa estável. A filosofia por trás do UTLH baseia-se na ideia de que o dinheiro não deve apenas “ficar parado esperando sua hora”, mas deve trabalhar constantemente, gerando retorno para seu proprietário. E essa ideia foi concretizada no mecanismo único de staking do token. A rentabilidade fixa do staking de 24% ao ano (2% mensalmente) significa que seu dinheiro gera lucro continuamente. Isso permite criar uma fonte estável e segura de renda passiva, mesmo para aqueles que nunca tiveram experiência com criptomoedas.UTLH como Solução para a Inflação e Crises EconômicasEm um mundo onde a inflação se tornou uma ameaça séria para as economias pessoais, o UTLH oferece uma proteção eficaz para seu capital. Com uma emissão limitada de 957.315 tokens, a demanda por UTLH está sempre crescendo. Existe um mecanismo de queima regular de tokens, que reduz a oferta disponível de UTLH no mercado, criando um déficit adicional. Isso protege o ativo da inflação e cria as condições para o crescimento de seu valor a longo prazo. Assim, o UTLH torna-se uma ferramenta ideal para proteger contra choques econômicos.O Programa UFA – Uma Nova Visão de FinanciamentoUm aspecto especialmente importante do UTLH é o seu papel no âmbito do exclusivo Programa de Assistência Financeira Universal (UFA), que revoluciona as ideias sobre financiamento:Ausência de burocracia: Para obter um empréstimo, é necessário apenas possuir a quantidade necessária de tokens UTLH, que atuam como garantia. Isso elimina completamente a necessidade de processar documentos complexos.Taxa de juros baixa: Muito abaixo dos bancos ou instituições financeiras, o que é especialmente relevante em tempos de instabilidade econômica global.Ausência de sanções externas e restrições em transferências. O UTLH é livre dos limites bancários e do controle externo. Como resultado, os membros do clube podem financiar seus projetos de maneira eficiente – desde a compra de imóveis até o início de um novo negócio – e ao mesmo tempo economizar consideravelmente.A Comunidade Internacional como Fator de Crescimento do UTLHOutro benefício do UTLH é a sua comunidade internacional ativa e em rápido crescimento. Pessoas de todo o mundo se unem em torno da ideia de liberdade financeira e ajuda mútua, tornando o projeto não apenas um instrumento financeiro, mas uma verdadeira comunidade de pessoas com objetivos semelhantes. Com a ajuda da comunidade, você sempre terá apoio, troca de experiências, acesso a novas estratégias financeiras e oportunidades. Isso distingue o UTLH de muitos outros projetos que existem apenas no papel e não possuem capital social real.Por que o UTLH é um Ativo de Longo Prazo e Não uma Especulação de Curto Prazo?Ao contrário de muitas outras criptomoedas voltadas para ganhos rápidos, o UTLH é posicionado como um ativo fundamentalmente atraente, principalmente no longo prazo. A razão para isso está em sua aplicação real e na ecossistema única:O token é ativamente utilizado no programa de financiamento com condições favoráveis, garantindo demanda constante.O modelo econômico único (emissão limitada, mecanismo de queima) leva ao aumento de preço e proteção contra flutuações de mercado.O número crescente de participantes no UTLH Club torna o token cada vez mais requisitado em todo o mundo.Previsões e Perspectivas para os Próximos AnosEspecialistas do mercado financeiro e de criptomoedas destacam que o UTLH tem grandes chances de apresentar um crescimento extraordinário nos próximos anos. Com as tendências atuais e o número sempre crescente de membros no clube, muitos analistas acreditam que o UTLH poderá aumentar seu valor várias vezes nos próximos anos, talvez até dezenas de vezes.Conclusão: UTLH – A Filosofia Financeira para TodosO UTLH não é apenas um token. É uma nova abordagem para o dinheiro, investimentos e liberdade financeira. Ele oferece a você não apenas a espera passiva pela valorização, mas uma participação ativa no processo de criação do seu próprio capital, que trará um retorno constante e previsível. Em um cenário onde os bancos tradicionais e as instituições financeiras estão perdendo cada vez mais confiança, o UTLH abre o caminho para um novo modelo econômico – transparente, justo e vantajoso para todos os seus participantes. Invista com inteligência. Crie um futuro estável hoje mesmo. UTLH – o seu caminho para a liberdade, o sucesso e a independência financeira. ??

    Andrei Alistarov: A Controversial BloggerAndrei Alistarov is a blogger who sparks heated debates and controversy within the Russian online community. His activities, ranging from sports forecasts to “exposing financial pyramids,” often come under the scrutiny of law enforcement authorities of the Russian Federation, EU countries, and the public. However, behind the outward appearance of the anti-fraud fighter hides a trial of legal violations, bias, and “double game.” In this article, we will analyze the blogger’s personality, his background, activities, as well as his connections with the world of fraudsters and the real purpose behind his “exposing” criminals.Criminal BackgroundThe first fact, which explains a lot, is that Alistarov was convicted of selling drugs to children and spent four years in a penal colony. In prison, he held a position consistent with the charges for which he was sentenced and carried out orders from criminal authorities. To a large extent, these assignments became the basis of his subsequent activities. After his release, he continued to participate in the drug trade at a level aligned with his established position in the criminal hierarchy, using real estate transactions to launder drug proceeds.Money Laundering through Real EstateOne of Alistarov’s key methods of laundering illicit proceeds was through real estate transactions. He manipulated small real estate transactions in Russia and Dubai, UAE. The scheme was based on purchasing real estate under false pretenses, inflated prices at resale, and using offshore companies to obscure the real beneficiaries. These small-scale speculative activities allowed him to conceal the origin of money obtained from drug trafficking and other crimes.There are no legal entities registered to Alistarov in Russia, which suggests tax evasion, at least regarding the profits from advertising integrations featured in each of his videos.Advertising of Bookmakers Banned in the Russian FederationTo earn additional income, Alistarov does not hesitate to promote various betting and gambling companies (for example, Pari Match, 1WIN, and others), which, according to Alistarov himself, are “sharpened” to take money from clients who come to them.Alistarov’s website “Iron Bet” actively promotes bookmakers and creates ratings of predictors both in the field of cryptocurrencies and sports. Many individuals end up on his YouTube channel after losses in pyramid schemes. Being in an emotionally distressed state, often with debts, they find themselves drawn into gambling and predictions, hoping to recover their lost funds.In particular, Alistarov attracts the attention of wealthy individuals by offering them “VIP predictions” on sporting events via his Telegram channel. These predictions are essentially worthless, and the blogger himself makes money from naive users, often minors, by promising them easy money.These actions violate the Law on Advertising, which prohibits advertisements from targeting minors or implying that betting can serve as a means of earning money.Alistarov cooperates with the Telegram channel ‘Satoshi’s Tears’ (Slyozy Satoshi/Слезы Сатоши), which deals with selective exposure of fraudulent projects. Recommendations and advertising integrations of this channel should be treated with caution, as they can lead to serious financial losses. The channel itself is more like an infobusiness, and its authors have limited knowledge in cryptocurrency analytics and are not sufficiently versed in the subtleties of the crypto industry.Blackmail and ExtortionOne of the most scandalous aspects of Alistarov’s activities is his use of blackmail. He exploits information about his victims to intimidate and extort money. For example, Timur Turlov, a Kazakhstani financier, filed a complaint against the blogger, claiming that he had been demanding money for three years in exchange for remaining silent about his activities. Such actions demonstrate that Alistarov is not merely a blogger but a person who uses his knowledge of people to manipulate them. There are a number of other cases where the blogger demanded monetary remuneration for his silence.Privacy ViolationIn addition to blackmail and manipulation, Alistarov’s activities also raise serious privacy concerns. The blogger not only uses his victims’ personal data for extortion but also actively disseminates information that, according to existing legislation, should remain private.Alistarov often published in his videos and posts the personal data of people he describes as fraudsters or unscrupulous businessmen. The information he discloses often includes addresses, phone numbers, and even financial details. Such actions not only violate the right to privacy but also lead to serious consequences for those affected by his so-called “exposures.”Incitement to HatredOn 1 January 2025, another Russian businessman was brutally attacked in Dubai. Seven Kazakh nationals (reportedly ordered by citizens of the Russian Federation) assaulted and robbed him and members of his family.Prior to this incident, the blogger Alistarov had published a series of 12 videos in which he revealed the entrepreneur’s address and illegally shared information about his family and business activities in the UAE. In doing so, he employed illegal surveillance methods, wiretapping, and, consequently, interference with privacy, which is considered a serious offense in the UAE.In addition, Alistarov disclosed information about the residence of the victim’s business partner, systematically violating confidentiality and privacy rights.Connection with Financial PyramidsDespite the fact that Alistarov claims to fight fraudulent schemes, his activities are linked to the promotion of financial pyramids and online casinos. He receives funding from these structures, helping them to eliminate honest competitors under the guise of journalistic ‘exposes’.Currently, Alistarov, who has earned himself the title of a “fighter” against financial pyramids, is very selective in his approach to exposing them. For example, there is no material on his channel regarding the Avalon Technologies pyramid scheme, which, according to available reliable information, was created by one of his close friends.The fact that Alistarov is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” positioning himself as a whistleblower of financial pyramids while his true motives remain questionable. He increasingly finds himself at the center of accusations that challenge the authenticity of his intentions. It is also evident that his investigations are commissioned in order to eliminate competitors, which suggests his connection to real pyramid schemes and participation in fraudulent schemes. Behind the façade of a fighter for justice hides a figure who actively manipulates information for personal gain, while often breaking the law himself.

    Hi fantastic website! Does running a blog like this take a lot of work?

    I’ve virtually no knowledge of coding however I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share.

    I understand this is off subject nevertheless I simply wanted to
    ask. Thanks a lot!

    And last, but not least, make positive to speak
    to your physician earlier than beginning any type of cycle.
    Eating loads of protein and figuring out frequently will ensure that
    your muscle tissue are in a position to develop and that you simply’re capable of see the outcomes of
    your cycle. First, Anavar is a very powerful steroid
    and must be used sparingly.
    If so, you will probably be on the mercy of male pattern baldness when you’re older.

    Nevertheless, a steroid like Testosterone Enanthate can deliver
    forward this hair loss; when it happens, it’s usually permanent.
    Combining two of the most effective bulking steroids makes
    this a potent and widely used stack. A reasonable dose of testosterone combined with Deca places the complete focus of this stack on gaining as much mass as
    possible. It is a slower-acting cycle where you’ll need endurance to see outcomes.
    When using Nebido as a primary anabolic compound or alongside other steroids in a stack, the dosage of 1000mg may be extra frequent, a minimum of once per
    month or, in some cases, twice monthly.
    As a results of FDA stress on the anabolic steroid industry,
    it was removed from circulation after a while. Ben Johnson’s gold medal from the earlier year’s 100-meter race at the Seoul Olympics was revoked because of
    his use of winstrol. From the FDA’s standpoint, this occasion seemed to be the ultimate straw that broke the camel’s
    again. It is a substance that’s classed as each
    an androgen and an anabolic steroid, and
    it’s utilized in a wide range of contexts to stimulate weight achieve.
    Compared to Dbol, Anavar provides you steadier gains that won’t disappear like they usually do with
    Dbol. Positive, your power gains shall be a little slower
    with Anavar, but you’re unlikely to have the extreme
    impact on appetite that most guys get with Dbol.

    Additionally, anabolic steroids can have an impact on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, doubtlessly rising the
    danger of insulin resistance and kind 2 diabetes.
    Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and
    total cardiovascular health is crucial during and after the cycle to mitigate these potential risks.
    Maintaining a healthy way of life with correct vitamin and common exercise can be essential in managing these metabolic concerns.
    Moreover, the mix of Anavar and Check E may trigger more pronounced androgenic results, corresponding to zits, oily pores and skin, and hair thinning.
    Furthermore, the cycle can lead to the suppression of natural testosterone
    manufacturing, which may lead to hormonal imbalances and require post-cycle therapy
    to revive testosterone levels. Lastly, Anavar’s metabolism by
    the kidneys and its potential impact on levels of cholesterol might pose risks to kidney operate during the cycle.
    It is essential to bear in mind of these potential side effects
    and take acceptable precautions when contemplating an Anavar and Check E cycle.

    The synergy between testosterone and Anavar fosters an setting conducive
    to muscle preservation and progress, yielding
    a extra outlined and vascular physique. It’s clear that the success of such a cycle hinges on a well-structured coaching
    program and a food plan wealthy in protein. Customers must keep in mind that these substances are merely tools
    to complement their exhausting work and dedication to health.

    Security should never take a backseat, and regular
    well being check-ups are crucial to navigating the cycle effectively.
    With the best method, the Check and Anavar cycle could be a powerful ally in reaching one’s bodybuilding aspirations.

    Anavar, the trade name for Oxandrolone, is an artificial anabolic steroid that provides numerous advantages, particularly throughout slicing phases.

    One of the advantages of Andriol is that, unlike
    many different oral steroids, this one just isn’t toxic to the
    liver as a end result of it doesn’t cross via the liver.
    Whereas it is a profit, for many customers, the downsides will outweigh the dearth
    of liver toxicity, including the high price of the product when considering the excessive
    dosages wanted to reap probably the most advantages.
    Thanks to its lower androgenic rating, Deca is probably certainly one of the few steroids men can tolerate – if not better – than testosterone itself.

    Deca-Durabolin generally causes much less water retention than Testosterone Enanthate at larger doses – but
    food regimen and particular person response play a considerable role.

    Ought To be ok as lengthy as you retain the orals to an affordable length… ie
    6 weeks or much less. Tbol offers good solid positive aspects as is and working anavar right behind it’s lipid suicide.
    Massive muscular tissues are the best place to inject this steroid to avoid veins and
    arteries. Quads, glutes, and delts are the really helpful injection areas, and they should be rotated so you allow every injection website to
    recover. Testosterone Enanthate could be slightly painful as
    a outcome of it is in sesame oil.
    Testosterone suppression might be heightened as opposed to taking Dianabol alone.

    Users may expertise further hair thinning on their scalp, as nicely as some additional liver pressure.

    This is doubtless one of the most successful
    Dianabol stacks we’ve observed in regard to gaining muscle with out excessive
    toxicity. Letrozole is an effective AI that reduces the conversion of testosterone into estrogen (4), which is effective for
    combating excessive progesterone. We have found SERMs to be ineffective in reducing progesterone-induced gynecomastia from Deca Durabolin.
    Get ready to take your health journey to new heights with this comprehensive
    guide to Masteron dosage with Test. Anavar can also be stacked with other anabolic steroids for even greater advantages similar to energy positive aspects and faster recovery
    occasions after training periods. In summary, a Clenbuterol and Anavar cycle
    for a person could be an efficient approach to achieve vital fat loss and muscle acquire.
    By following a strict diet and exercise routine and consulting with a healthcare skilled, you possibly can achieve the lean and ripped physique you’ve always wished.

    It is also indicated as an antidote to catabolism brought
    on by extended corticosteroid treatment. Nevertheless, girls who are
    able to risk their feminity for the sake of getting better outcomes from the
    workouts can combine Winstrol (in a small dosage, as mentioned within the cycle above) with Anavar.
    Anavar and Andriol stack is a perfect selection for many who need
    to avoid needles and wish to attempt oral anabolics.

    Understanding the synergistic results of these
    compounds is essential for achieving desired outcomes in muscle progress and general
    efficiency. Masteron, also referred to as drostanolone propionate, is a highly sought-after anabolic steroid with potent androgenic properties.
    It reveals anti-estrogenic effects, making it an ideal alternative
    for athletes and bodybuilders aiming to attain a lean, chiseled physique.
    On the other hand, Testosterone is the primary male intercourse hormone responsible for muscle improvement and power positive aspects.
    The synergistic effects of the two dietary supplements lie of their complementary nature.

    ‘We don’t want the American Dream for our kids’: Why this couple left the US for Ecuador with their children four years ago
    юрист у військових справах Запоріжжя у суді
    They’d never even visited Ecuador before, but Brittany and Blake Bowen, from the United States, decided to move to the South American country in 2021 to give their four children a completely different upbringing.

    The Bowens, who were previously based in the state of Washington, have been living in Loja, a small city based in the southern section of the Andes Mountains, ever since, and say that they are in it for the long haul.

    “We love this little country,” Brittany tells CNN Travel. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.”
    Before the move, the couple, who’ve been married for nearly 17 years, say that they were becoming increasingly concerned about the pressures placed on children by “modern American society” and wanted to try something new.

    “We did not like what we’d seen develop over the course of the last couple decades…” adds Brittany, explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming “more isolated.”

    “We weren’t confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared.

    “And the more we considered things like that, the more we wondered, ‘Is that even what we want? Do we even want them to be on a fast track to the American Dream?”

    The couple were also frustrated with living what they describe as the “standard American life.”

    “Long commutes and never enough money,” says Blake. “All those usual problems… I was working in a career that was very time consuming, and took me away from home a lot. So we didn’t want that anymore.”

    So why did they choose Ecuador as their “new home”?

     Так называемое уголовное дело «Лайф-из-Гуд» – «Гермес» – «Бест Вей» продолжает свою кровавую жатву – в конце марта умер от рака, быстро спрогрессировавшего из-за постоянного стресса, председатель Совета кооператива «Бест Вей», депутат Государственной думы VII созыва Сергей Иванович Крючек. Полтора года назад умерла жена Сергея Крючека – сердце не выдержало после обысков у них дома и допросов мужа.   Суд ни к чему не ведет Следствие действовало максимально жестко. От обысков с пристрастием в 2023 году пострадали сотни пайщиков кооператива по всей России, на скамье подсудимых оказались ни в чем неповинные технические сотрудники – помощник руководителя, один из бухгалтеров, менеджер сайта и конференций, несколько индивидуальных предпринимателей, а также 83-летний отец основателя кооператива «Бест Вей» и бывшего руководителя компании «Лайф-из-гуд» Романа Василенко – пенсионер Виктор Иванович Василенко. Один из допрашивавшихся – Шамиль Фахруллин, умер после допроса от сердечного приступа, в критическом состоянии после 12-часового допроса была Зоя Семенова, которая опровергла в суде свои показания, данные следствию (таких опровергших – десятки). Мама Романа Василенко Лариса Александровна Василенко столкнулась с настоящими пытками – явившись к ней в пять утра, оперативники заставили ее переодеваться при них, раздевшись догола, а в следственном управлении ее на несколько часов посадили на стул со сломанной ножкой и не давали пить. Она потеряла сознание, и только после этого ей удалось выйти из следственного управления. Случаев издевательств и пыток множество. При этом в суде, который идет с конца февраля 2024 года, дело откровенно разваливается – у признанных потерпевшими и свидетелей нет никаких доказательств своих утверждений, они в ходе перекрестных допросов один за другим попадаются на лжи. На последние суды приходят все меньше и меньше свидетелей обвинения – под разными предлогами они отказываются, чтобы не поддерживать лживую версию следствия. Кооператив без вины виноватых Сергей Крючек возглавил крупнейший в России кооператив – 20 тыс. пайщиков во всех регионах страны – весной 2022 года, в период острого кризиса, после только что прошедшего первого обыска в офисе кооператива, в ходе которого были изъяты вся документация, базы данных, серверы, даже личные вещи и трудовые книжки сотрудников (и ничего до сих пор не возвращено: все учетные записи пришлось восстанавливать с нуля). Он и сам стал жертвой обысков в своем подмосковном доме – в ходе которых была изъята и до сих пор не возвращена коллекция наград. Кооператив оказался «в уголовном деле» по странному стечению обстоятельств – он был объявлен следствием организацией, аффилированной с иностранной инвестиционной компанией «Гермес», а значит, призванной ответить по ее обязательствам – хотя кооператив никак не был связан с «Гермесом» ни организационно, ни финансово: имел только общую систему продаж продуктов через маркетинговую фирму «Лайф-из-Гуд». У «Гермеса» возникли проблемы с выплатами российским клиентам после взлома российского сегмента платежной системы системным администратором Евгением Набойченко – система в феврале 2022 года перестала работать, и появилась картинка с предложением обращаться в правоохранительные органы. Только выплаты прекратились не до действий Набойченко, а после них. Параллельно возникла ситуация со СВО и санкциями Запада, крайне затруднившая трансграничные финансовые операции.  Но кооператив «Бест Вей» никаких выплат не прекращал, он зарегистрирован в Санкт-Петербурге, все его активы находятся в России. И даже если учесть требования к нему со стороны лиц, признанных потерпевшими по уголовному делу, то нет никаких причин для блокирования работы кооператива: совокупный ущерб в обвинительном заключении – 282 млн рублей, притом что на счетах кооператива – более 4 млрд рублей. Эта сумма постоянно увеличивается, и еще 600 млн – дебиторская задолженность пайщиков кооперативу на сегодняшний день. 282 млн рублей могли быть заблокированы на счете кооператива, на котором аккумулируются средства из членских взносов, предназначенные для развития, – не было никаких причин блокировать всю деятельность кооператива! Тем не менее это длительное время происходило. Страхи охранителей Что стоит за преследованиями фирмы «Лайф-из-Гуд», успешно работавшей с 2014 до начала 2022 года; компании «Гермес», которая весь этот же период выполняла свои обязательства; кооператива «Бест Вей», к которому вообще нет никаких претензий, кроме как со стороны тех, кого следствие убедило, что раз кооператив незаконный, они смогут взыскать членские взносы и еще со стороны людей, которым кооператив, заботясь о ликвидности, не дал купить объект недвижимости с перепланировкой? Что стоит за поддержкой властью репрессий против кооператива?   Прежде всег, люди, которые пытаются получить контроль над миллиардными активами кооператива и других организаций, а также примкнувшие к ним силовики. Но похоже на то, что власть очень обеспокоил политический потенциал, стоящий за кооперативом, – все эти многотысячные собрания пайщиков на стадионах. Собрания людей, которым ничего не надо от государства – они готовы сами, вскладчину, решать свои жилищные и иные проблемы. Кого-то из охранителей это испугало и стало причиной зеленого света для репрессий против кооператива со стороны высокопоставленных силовиков.  Лжеэксперты и лжеобвинения Кооператив, как и «Гермес», был обвинен в том, что он является финансовой пирамидой. Приглашенный следствием эксперт из СПбГУ Маевский потребовал закрытого заседания – чтобы никто не слышал, как он плавает в теме. Утверждает, что финансирование покупки квартир старым пайщикам происходило за счет новых пайщиков: не понимает, что финансирование кооператива происходит не только за счет новых поступлений от пайщиков, но и за счет возвратных платежей за приобретенную на деньги кооператива недвижимость. А с осени 2021 года – времени внесения в предупредительный список ЦБ, почти исключительно за счет возвратных платежей от пайщиков, которым приобретена квартира. При этом ликвидность кооператива никак не пострадала. Объяснения со стороны адвокатов стали для этого экономиста откровением. Значительная часть пайщиков стремится ускорить погашение долга перед кооперативом, чтобы скорее получить квартиру в собственность – ведь квартира с помощью кооператива приобретается почти без переплат. Переплаты связаны только со вступительным и членскими взносами; налогами, которые платятся по тарифам для юридического лица; оплатой проверки юридической чистоты и независимой оценки недвижимости.  С весны 2022 года кооператив прекратил прием новых пайщиков, при этом на его ликвидности это никак не сказалось: средства на счетах продолжали расти, несмотря на то что многие пайщики боялись платить на арестованные счета и вносят платежи только сейчас.  Спаситель  С весны 2022-го до зимы 2025 года счета кооператива с небольшими перерывами были под арестом – причем запрещались даже выплаты по исполнительным листам пайщикам, которые приняли решение о выходе из кооператива, арестованы были, также с перерывами, квартиры, принадлежащие кооперативу, на 12 млрд рублей.  Под руководством Сергея Ивановича Крючека удалось добиться в судах снятия ареста с квартир, а затем частичного снятия ареста со счетов, разрешения с арестованных сумм выплачивать по исполнительным листам пайщикам, которые через суд добились возврата средств (в этом им активно помогал сам кооператив), а также налоги и заработную плату сотрудникам кооператива. Частичное «освобождение» счетов позволило осуществлять выплаты пайщикам, принявшим решение о выходе из кооператива и возврате своих средств.  Таких пайщиков около 2,5 тыс., общий объем выплат им – порядка 1,5 млрд рублей, значительная часть из них уже получила свои паевые средства – несмотря на огромные трудности с перечислением средств по 115-ФЗ: дело в том, что расследуется еще одно уголовное дело – по ст. 174 УК (хотя кооператив никаких денег за рубеж не переводил), открыто и новое дело по заявлениям потерпевших от «Гермеса», не попавшим в уголовное дело, которое сейчас рассматривается судом. Кроме того, идет гражданский процесс по иску прокуратуры, блокирующему возможность приема новых пайщиков. И, несмотря на эти трудности, кооператив, возглавлявшийся до недавнего времени Сергеем Крючеком, ежедневно осуществляет выплаты выходящим из него пайщикам и успешно восстанавливает деятельность.   Важнейшее достижение Крючека – создание механизма, когда при арестованных счетах пайщики, которым уже приобретены объекты недвижимости, получили возможность погашать свой долг перед кооперативом и переоформлять недвижимость в собственность за счет средств других пайщиков, которые передают им свои арестованные паевые взносы, а взамен получают живые деньги от счастливых приобретателей квартир в собственность. Таким способом пайщикам удалось погасить долг перед кооперативом и полностью перевести недвижимость в собственность по десяткам объектов недвижимости. Кооператив под руководством Сергея Крючека работал над тем, чтобы вновь начать приобретать квартиры пайщикам, которые стоят в очереди на покупку первыми. Тем более что ряд квартир будет освобожден пайщиками, которые отказались возвращать за них деньги и исключены из кооператива с возвратом паевых средств.  Кооператив, по мнению многих пайщиков, жив благодаря той огромной работе, которую проделал Сергей Крючек с весны 2022 года по весну 2025-го, успешному противостоянию произволу правоохранительной системы. Недаром один из пайщиков предложил назвать кооператив именем Сергея Ивановича.

    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.
    остеопатическое лечение дисфункции опорно-двигательного аппарата с болевым синдромом
    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.
