Manduka Pro Yoga Mat

This is my absolute favourite mat that I have ever had! I noticed that as my teaching schedule increased I needed extra cushioning for my joints. This 6.35mm thick Manduka yoga mat is perfect. This mat is non-toxic, emission free in its manufacturing, and because of the closed cell surface it prevents dirt from absorbing into the mat—making it easy to clean.

6. Acupressure Mat

In the fall a lot of my students raved about the benefits of acupressure mats. I have never tried one but I would certainly like to. It is a great tool to include in your self care toolbox because it helps to relax muscles, improve circulation, and improve your quality of sleep.

  • Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory

    1015 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the short story, “A Christmas Memory”, by Truman Capote, a boy relives his most memorable Christmas with his older cousin. During his story the old woman and him both develop strong developments. The use of character to character interaction and visual imagery is key to the suggested theme that the power of memory influences people to relive their lives. One of Capote’s major supporting tactics relies on the clever use of character to character interaction, even when inferred. A certain such example reveals itself early in the story, in which the narrator explains that his cousin calls him “Buddy, in memory of a boy who was formerly her best friend (Capote 1).”

    The most powerful, and most obvious argument the ghost makes is not said by a single character in the novel, but inferred by the reader. The Ghost of Christmas Past showed Scrooge a past he could not change, the Ghost of Christmas Present showed him the present, which was already happening, but the Ghost of Christmas Future showed him a future that he could change and make his own. Scrooge could not change his past, he could not change the immediate present, but he could change his future by reforming, and becoming loving and generous. The power to change what he saw was definitely one of, if not the strongest influence any of the ghosts had on Scrooge. This is an obvious use of logos by the ghost.
