Now that their 2017 season has officially ended, it's time to look ahead to the Toronto Blue Jays' off-season decisions.
After a 76-86 finish, the Blue Jays aim to return to contention in 2018. That'll mean adding pitching and improving on the club's core of position players, which leads to a long list of questions. We turned to our baseball writers for some answers as the club's off-season preparation picks up…
If the Blue Jays pursue any big-ticket free agents, which ones make the most sense?
Mike Wilner
Shohei Otani. Shohei Otani. Shohei Otani. Shohei Otani.
And among the stateside guys, given how J.D. Martinez has done the last two years against right-handed pitching, I'd favour him over Lorenzo Cain (legs guys don't tend to age well) long-term. Eduardo Nunez as a super-utility type and Tony Watson as a high-leverage lefty would be swell adds, too.
Ben Nicholson-Smith
If Shohei Otani does become available this off-season he'd be the ideal target for the Blue Jays. He's young enough that his prime seasons are ahead, so he's worth hundreds of millions as a free agent. But he's not truly a free agent, so he'll cost middle reliever money, adding to his appeal.
To say that the Blue Jays should pursue him aggressively is to state the obvious. Equally obvious, though, is his appeal around baseball. As an East Coast team coming off a fourth-place finish, the Blue Jays would need a strong pitch to land Otani. It seems more likely that the club will arrive at spring training without having added a superstar player.
Shi Davidi
I can't see that happening, so let's skip this exercise. My guess is they try to make something happen on the trade market or with mid-tier free agents, someone like a Wade Miley for the pitching staff, Jay Bruce for the outfield or maybe Eduardo Nunez as a super-utility type.
Arden Zwelling
Shohei Otani, because he's not only the best pitcher available on the open market, he's also the best hitter. The 23-year-old is a generational talent who would dramatically shift the outlook of this franchise for not only 2018, but many seasons to come. And, incredibly, he's very affordable — thanks to MLB's exploitative and salary-suppressing international spending rules (a conversation for another day, unfortunately), obtaining Otani would cost Toronto a $20 million posting fee and a signing bonus of a little more than $1 million, which is what the Blue Jays have left in their international bonus pool.
Other teams could offer a bit more, but Otani has indicated he's currently motivated by fit rather than money, and the Blue Jays could make a case that he would enjoy playing in a welcoming and cosmopolitan city like Toronto which eagerly embraced his countryman Munenori Kawaski when he played there. And with only $17 million currently on the books for 2020, and $8 million in 2021, Toronto's payroll opens up quite nicely during the years when Otani will need to be locked up long-term and paid the large sums he deserves.
Jeff Blair
Either Mike Moustakas or Eric Hosmer, both of whom play corner infield positions and are authoritative left-handed bats tailor-made for the middle of the order. Sign one of them and make it work; either trade Josh Donaldson or deal Kendrys Morales plus cash or move Justin Smoak to designated hitter. Whatever. I don't know if Eduardo Nunez counts as big ticket … but he'd answer several questions. Will the Jays actually pursue these guys? Likely not.
Who's one under-the-radar player the Blue Jays should consider in free agency or trade?
Jeff Blair
A free agent starter such as Alex Cobb and left-handed reliever Tony Watson – in whom the Jays have had past interest – would be counter-intuitive additions in that the Jays ought to have priorities elsewhere. But they'd open up some other options.
Arden Zwelling
I'd call the Texas Rangers about Jurickson Profar and see if he can be acquired for a reasonable price. He's had his struggles in the big leagues, but he was once baseball's No. 1 ranked prospect for a reason and would certainly benefit from a change of scenery considering how significantly the Rangers have soured on him.
While he still has some questions to answer offensively, the 24-year-old profiles as exactly the type of player the Blue Jays covet: a switch-hitter with decent speed who can play a variety of positions. And he put up an .811 OPS at triple-A this year, walking 10 more times than he struck out, so clearly there's more offensive potential in his bat than he's shown at the major-league level thus far.
Ben Nicholson-Smith
Ideally the Blue Jays would find a super-utility type this off-season: someone who can play shortstop, second base or left field while contributing offensively as a switch-hitter or left-handed bat. So who played those positions in 2017 while hitting respectably (we'll say with an OPS+ of at least 100)?
You've got Marwin Gonzalez, who would presumably be tough to pry away from Houston. Aside from that there's Pedro Florimon, who has a career OPS of .577, Johan Camargo, whose offensive success doesn't look completely sustainable, Twins regular Eduardo Escobar and veteran utility player Eric Sogard. That's it. These players just aren't that plentiful at the MLB level.
Maybe this means finding the next Ben Zobrist or Marwin Gonzalez. It's an incredibly big ask for the front office, but one worth exploring. My suggestion? Ketel Marte of the Diamondbacks. He's an optionable switch-hitter with a lifetime .265/.319/.361 slash line and speed. He hasn't played left field in the big leagues, but he has played centre. You can even dream about more offence from a player about to turn 24 who posted a .905 OPS at triple-A this season. Once Chris Owings returns from injury, the Diamondbacks could conceivably part with Marte for the right price.
Mike Wilner
Brandon Morrow had a 0.91 WHIP and 50 strikeouts in 43 1/3 innings out of the Dodgers' bullpen this season. He's a free agent. In trade, if the Marlins purge as expected, either Marcell Ozuna or Christian Yelich would be a phenomenal add. I don't know how under-the-radar they are, though.
Shi Davidi
Prying Marwin Gonzalez from the Houston Astros might be too expensive but Jed Lowrie makes some sense and could fall more in line with the type of prospect capital they're willing to surrender.
Which current players on the Blue Jays' roster stand out as realistic trade candidates?
Shi Davidi
Beyond the obvious of Josh Donaldson, Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez and Roberto Osuna, the players with the most value on the trade market are their optionable relievers and Kevin Pillar, whom they can't trade without backfilling. They really don't have much surplus to deal from.
Jeff Blair
I don't think anybody but Marcus Stroman is untouchable but I don't think the Blue Jays have anybody who'd return much of value. Until the Blue Jays know Aaron Sanchez's availability they have no pitching depth; and it's too early to punt on Roberto Osuna. Josh Donaldson was first out of the gate in being connected to another team, with Bob Nightengale of USA Today linking him with the St. Louis Cardinals last week. Get used to it.
Mike Wilner
Richard Urena. GM Ross Atkins has been singing his praises rather loudly (stoking the market?), but has also mentioned him as a young player another team might really like who could help bring the Jays back an established big-leaguer. Kevin Pillar, Ezequiel Carrera and perhaps Steve Pearce could be moved as well.
Arden Zwelling
I think the Blue Jays will need to use trades to improve their club this off-season, but I don't think the players in those deals will necessarily come off their big-league roster. With a serious 40-man roster crush approaching, we could see some mid-level prospects, especially those drafted under the previous regime, moved for current major leaguers.
Beyond that, I would definitely listen on Roberto Osuna if another team is willing to pay a price approaching the returns we saw last July for Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman. And if Toronto can find a taker for Kendrys Morales without having to eat too much salary they have to jump at the opportunity.
Ben Nicholson-Smith
The Blue Jays' bullpen emerged as a potential strength in 2017, and could create options on the trade market. The emergence of Tim Mayza and Matt Dermody could allow the Blue Jays to part with Aaron Loup, for example, and they also have some right-handed depth after strong seasons from Ryan Tepera, Danny Barnes and Dominic Leone. Or, if you want to go outside the box, maybe Conner Greene generates some interest.
What's going to happen with Josh Donaldson this winter? And what should happen?
Mike Wilner
I believe he'll sign a very lucrative one-year contract with the Jays. In a perfect world, he and the team would agree on a five-year deal to keep him here through his age-36 season, but I imagine it'll be very tough to keep him off the market after next season.
Arden Zwelling
What's going to happen? Josh Donaldson will likely sign a one-year deal in the $23-25 million range to avoid arbitration and we'll continue talking about his future with the Blue Jays incessantly for the next 12 months or so until he ultimately becomes a free agent following the 2018 season. (He could also go to arbitration as a perennial MVP candidate, which would be fascinating and unprecedented, but I'm not sure the Blue Jays front office wants to be the one to create that history.)
What should happen? Every time Donaldson hits a home run, a dump truck filled with priceless artifacts and jewels should pull up to his home and unload its pay dirt upon his property. He should watch this transpire while doing back flips into his swimming pool filled with $100 bills. Liquefied gold should stream from his faucets. Considering the immense profit MLB will earn off of broadcasting and merchandising his rare talent for hitting the crap out of major-league pitching, it's only fair.
Ben Nicholson-Smith
Donaldson's one of baseball's best players, so of course the Blue Jays should explore a contract extension with him. That's the easy part. If Donaldson's amenable to a short-term extension, you're all set.
But after a five-year run of MVP-calibre production, Donaldson might well expect to get paid like an elite player for a long time. That means an extension could get expensive in a hurry. The hard part is determining how much you're comfortable spending for Donaldson's age-33 season and beyond. In my view, the most likely scenario has the Blue Jays keeping Donaldson, agreeing to a one-year deal for his final arbitration year and letting him test the open market a year from now.
Jeff Blair
I've been pretty consistent: if it was up to me Donaldson would be going into the third year of a five-year deal and we wouldn't be having this discussion. My guess is he starts the year with the Blue Jays and is dealt the second management believes it's out of it. What should happen? Donaldson should be a Jay for the rest of his career; nothing else Mark Shapiro or Ross Atkins or ownership could do would resonate as much with fans.
Shi Davidi
There will likely be some conceptual talks that don't go anywhere, Donaldson's name gets floated in never-going-to-happen deals and he's in Dunedin next spring, his status at the deadline to be determined by how the team performs.

The Original Kanima was one of the two outcomes of the Original Immortal Genes in the Clash of the Shape-shifters series, there was only one Kanima during their Genesis however it was not specified how the Kanima created more of its kind since however it was hinted that their bites were poisonous, born Kanima could apparently be awakened to their true nature through being close to a Werewolf, bitten by an Alpha or having an infusion of Wolfsbane or all of the above.
There is only one Original Kanima, and that is Mikael Rizzo.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
The Original Kanima is faster and stronger than any normal Kanima or Werewolf, the Original Kanima had existed for centuries undetected by human kind due to the fact it could disguise itself, for centuries it had been creating its own kind (through turning and "spawning") and it was hinted that it spawned Jackson Whittemore although it isn't the Kanima "Alpha" plaguing Beacon Hills. As the Original Kanima, it is far stronger than any Kanima since turned or born.
The Original Kanima is so intelligent at hunting that it is considered an Apex predator, meaning that it is a predator with no predators of their own, residing at the top of its food chain.
- Super Strength - The Original Kanima is far stronger than any Human, Werewolf, Kanima or Alpha that it were to come across. Only the Original Werewolf can challenge it.
- Super Speed - The Original Kanima can move faster than the eye can see, moving like a blur. It is faster than a Werewolf, Kanima or Alpha, but has a rival in the Original Werewolf.
- Super Agility - The Original Kanima is far more agile than any Werewolf, Kanima or Alpha and is even more Agile than the Original Werewolf.
- Healing factor - The Original Kanima can generate wounds far faster than an ordinary Kanima, unless it is wounded by the Original Werewolf, no wounds dealt by another species is fatal. The Original Kanima is also immune to Kanima Venom.
- Enhanced Durability - The Original Kanima is far more durable than any species to date except the Original Werewolf, it can take far more injuries and trauma without being mortally injured.
- Immortality - The Original Kanima is nearly indestructible, and will live forever.
- Molecular manipulation - The Original Kanima can change its color like a chameleon, allowing it to become invisible. It can also manipulate the molecular structure of any liquid it excretes or touches with concentration, creating the most brutal poisons or cures for the most incurable diseases, like a Kanima Lord and Kanima Master it generates poison from its teeth that can cause a Human to painfully become a Kanima.
- Astral-Illusion Projection - Like the Lord Kanima, the Original Kanima can project his mental form and appear as an illusion, this method is used when they have a meeting over long distances. It was hinted that the Ancient Werewolves and their Original have a similar or duplicate ability.
- Compulsion - The Originals (Original Werewolf and Original Kanima) and the Ancients (Ancient Werewolf and Lord Kanima) have the ability to dominate human minds and the weak minded of each species, making them do as they wish with no recollection of actually partaking in the event until (in a human's case) they are turned.
- Species Hierarchy - As the dominant predator of their species and the most capable of leading them, the Original Kanima has the power to command his species how he sees fit, if he commands them to do something they will subconsciously work towards that goal either willingly or not.
- Venomous Claws - The Original Kanima has extremely venomous claws, unrestrained the true level of the Venom could slip anyone into a Coma, it can effect even a Kanima or Werewolf with varying degrees of effect. On the Original Werewolf, it gives it a form of sluggishness but doesn't stop it. The Venom when connected with Kanima skin/fur or impended along the claws, allow the Kanima the capacity to climb and stick to walls.

THE WORD OF TRUTH WEBSITE -- Lessons for Elders
"Now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased" (1 Cor 12:18).
It is the business of every spiritual leader to not only be acquainted with this fact, but to work in absolute harmony with it. I come from a background that emphasized the eldership of the local congregation. Originally, the objective of this emphasis was to avoid the one-man-rule syndrome, which historically has robbed the people of God. It was also conceived to be a "pattern" set forth in Scripture for the church. However, as noble as the original objective may have appeared, the churches fell into another snare. Instead of a one-man-rule, they now had a multi-man- rule. By hard experience, they found that was no more productive than the condition they sought to avoid.
These lessons are provided to confirm the real role of elders, and how it fits into Divine objectives.

Last Sunday was my second time to join a 5-kilometer run. And it was my first time to take it seriously. We ran around the SM Mall of Asia grounds and their surrounding major thoroughfares. The actual distance was 5.18 kilometers, though. My official time was 36 minutes and 55 seconds. Not bad, I guess…
I hope this post will not result into something short of becoming an allegorical preaching. Taking the Run United Leg 3 seriously made me appreciate the Apostle Paul's illustration to the Corinthian Church:
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. -1 Corinthians 9:24-27
for a similar post on the same passage, click here
I knew in my mind that I could easily finish the 5-kilometer distance – by walking, that is. But to jog from start to finish (or yeah, taking short walks in-between, or stopping to get fluids) would be a much harder task. My practice jogging in UP never got past 1.5 kilometers of straight jogging without stopping to catch my breath. I can barely believe my friend's advice when she told me I'd learn to love running. At the very least, I could tolerate it now…
Now then. back to my point. I'd like to share some of the reflections I've had before, during, and after the activity, related as much as possible to the passage.
- "Wag ka masyado yumuko." I was so preoccupied with watching my feet, I didn't realize it was better to look straight ahead: for one, you could evade an incoming collision. Secondly, you could see where you're going, if you're still in the right direction. You will most likely run aimlessly if you don't look at where you're going. Whether in an actual race or in our spiritual lives, focus and direction are always important. Madaling malihis ng landas.
- Running with companions is better than running alone. I think part of the reason why I sucked during my 'training' was because there weren't really a lot of people alongside you. However, when there are more that three thousand people running with you towards the same goal, you feel both competitive and encouraged. "If they can do it, the I can, too." Nakakahiya rin na mag-bagal kasi bigla mo na lang mararamdaman ang madla na nag-oovertake sa iyo. Whether it be out of a spirit of friendly competition or outright support, it encourages me to emulate the strong points in the lives of other believers. They also serve as maturity markers for me to fare where I am in my journey towards Christ-likeness.
- Refreshments. Every now and then, we need to be refreshed. These "times of refreshing" may come in the form of spiritual retreats, or simply times of silence and contemplation. One of my friends said that some people drink only some of the water from the cups at the water stations – the rest they pour over their heads. And so I tried it. It worked. To run without resting is suicide. Yet to rest too often will leave you behind.
- Pushing yourself to the limits. My head already felt light during the last kilometer of the run. I wanted to stop, or just walk until the finish line. Yet even during my training, the phrase "run as to win the prize" kept playing in my head. And so, i risked the possibility of collapsing, just gave everything for the final kilometer, more so as the finish line came within sights. "To beat one's body and make it your slave" means to go beyond what you think you can do.
So, ano pang hinihintay 'nyo, takbo na!

I had originally planned to make Frito pie on Monday and ribs on Wednesday, but I was so excited about this new rib recipe that I found, that I decided to make them last night. It was a little bit more work than your average crock pot recipe, but SOOOO worth it!! The hubby raved about them and the little one couldn't get enough. The big one wouldn't even try them, but that's a discussion for another post! The thing that made them so good was you would never know they were cooked in the slow cooker! They had a wonderful crispy "crust" from the caramelized rub and sauce. They will 100% be made again in this house!! So I had to share it with you. I found this recipe on Pinterest. It comes from the blog Mmm is for Mommy.
Easy Barbecued Ribs
Adapted from America's Test Kitchen Slow Cooker Revolution
3 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
S&P to taste (about 1 tsp each is what I used)
3 lbs pork baby back ribs - leave the membrane on the ribs to help hold them together
3 cup barbecue sauce
Vegetable oil spray.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, cayenne and S&P. Rub this mixture all over both sides of your ribs well. Arrange ribs in the slow cooker by standing them up against the wall of the stoneware pot, thicker side down and meaty side against the pot. Pour barbecue sauce over the ribs, cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low (I did 7 hours and they were perfect).
Now comes the only stove/oven work involved, we need to reduce the sauce and then brown the ribs under the broiler. These steps are what turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, so don't you dare skip them even if your ribs already look pretty good. Once the initial slow cooking is done, very carefully remove the ribs to a baking pan which you have lined with foil and put a rack on, bone side up.
Strain all of the remaining juices from the slow cooker through a mesh strainer into a small saucepan and skim any fat that has risen to the top. Bring to boil and allow to simmer and reduce by about a third, approximately 15 minutes. Put your oven's broiler on to heat up and make sure that there is an oven rack about 10 inches below the broiler element. When the broiler is preheated, brush the ribs with sauce and broil for 3 or 4 minutes. Take them out and very carefully flip them over, brush with sauce and broil again, meat side up, for approximately 7 minutes, taking them out once or twice to baste with more sauce. Serve any remaining sauce on the side with the ribs.
I can't say enough about how yummy these were served with steamed broccoli and smashed red potatoes!

Time's up.

Well, maybe we can help.
Enter Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino – a virtuoso of a BCAA supplement, if we've ever seen one.
Buckle up and enjoy the review, folks.
About Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino

- Versatile. Best adjective to describe this BCAA supplement.
- Great source of Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. For extra health benefits.
- Unknown reputation. More people should know about this product.

Muscle-Building BCAA Formula
As a bodybuilding enthusiast, we're sure you're keen on building some muscle mass.
If this is your fitness goal, you can try a potent protein powder or post-workout supplement to fill those nutrition gaps and muscle up.
While you're at it, why not try a big-name BCAA product to pack on some serious muscle?
First off, BCAAs help increase muscle protein synthesis.
This is one of the reasons why most protein supplement manufacturers ramp up their BCAA content.
Case in point: MuscleTech NITRO-TECH.
This protein powder has an insane 7.4 grams of BCAAs per serving (four grams of leucine and 1.7 grams each of isoleucine and valine).
Many competitors don't come close, folks. Trust us.
No wonder we hailed MuscleTech NITRO-TECH "the manufacturer's best protein supplement to date."
BCAAs are not just about increasing muscle mass, mind you.
Check out their other benefits:
- Help preserve muscle mass
- Boost fat loss
- Regulate hormone balance during exercise
- Ramp up endurance
- Keep muscle soreness at bay
- Improve long-term health
No wonder BCAAs are a bona fide Jack of all trades.
We're hoping we can say the same thing about Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino.
The manufacturer dubs this supplement its "Muscle-Building BCAA Formula," per its official website.
If that won't get your attention, nothing will.
Of course, the three BCAAs are at the forefront.
Leading the charge is 2,000 milligrams of leucine per 285-gram serving.
It bears repeating: leucine is the most anabolic amino acid.
This is the BCAA which kickstarts muscle protein synthesis.
Long story short, you won't grow muscle without leucine.
Just so you know, some fitness experts say leucine also helps preserve muscle mass and torch fat.
Okay, leucine is synonymous to muscle growth.
Muscle preservation? Impressive.
But fat burning? Really?
Okay, leucine won't incinerate fat as well as your favorite fat burner, but it can do the job.
Leucine does this by signaling the release of an appetite-suppressing hormone from the hypothalamus (the part of the brain which produces hormones).
Two grams of leucine per serving is typical for a BCAA supplement. We say this amount is just right.
Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino also has 1,000 milligrams of isoleucine per serving.
This BCAA helps increase energy levels, shorten recovery time, regulate blood sugar levels and blood clot formation, establish a positive nitrogen balance, and repair muscle tissue.
As for valine, it also helps repair muscle tissue and ramp up energy levels.
Not only that, but it also helps regulate the nervous system, improve mental function and sleep quality, and suppress appetite.
With that, you can say isoleucine and valine are two well-rounded amino acids.
We say 1,000 milligrams of each per serving will go a long way.
Now, meet the ingredient which sets Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino from the rest of the pack.
We're talking about creatinol-o-phosphate (C.O.P.) – 500 milligrams per serving, to be more precise.
The manufacturer puts the spotlight on C.O.P. on its official website.
This component is "proven to buffer lactic acid, while stablizing pH levels in both the body tissue and bloodstream," per the site.
"The result is improved muscle contractions and increased stamina for a longer and harder workout beyond usual limits," per the same source.
If you've ever felt a burning sensation in your muscles after a hard workout, then it could very well have been lactic acid buildup.
Sometimes, your body comes up short on oxygen. Your muscles then try to produce energy faster than usual during exercise.
That's when you start feeling that burning sensation.
You never want that.
The thing is, studies about C.O.P. aren't as extensive as, say, BCAAs. So, the jury's still out.
For our part, we believe this ingredient will help you – BCAA supplements with C.O.P. are rare. Believe us.
On the other hand, Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino also has 1,250 milligrams of betaine per serving.
Betaine is a popular post-workout supplement ingredient.
However, we believe it helps boost a BCAA supplement's potency tenfold.
Here are betaine's benefits:
- Helps increase power output
- Ramps up anaerobic capacity and energy lvels
- Helps keep bad (LDL) cholesterol levels in check
- Improves heart health
Any time you have a BCAA ingredient which has these benefits, it's worth considering.
We're also stoked Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino has another virtuoso in taurine (1,000 milligrams per serving).
Let's rattle off the things it can do for you:
- Torches fat
- Improves insulin sensitivity
- Increases testosterone levels
- Shortens recovery time
- Regulates cardiovascular and neurological health
- Keeps stress levels in check
- Ramps up GABA levels
We said BCAA supplements improve your long-term health. Well, with the inclusion of taurine, that is a sure bet.
This product also has 1,000 milligrams of citrulline malate per serving.
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting another powerhouse bodybuilding supplement ingredient.
Citrulline malate is an amino acid which helps ward off muscle fatigue and build muscle mass.
As an l-arginine precursor, it helps ramp up nitric oxide production for increased muscle pumps, healthier blood pressure levels, and more efficient nutrient uptake.
We think it's an awesome inclusion in Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino.
Lastly, this supplement has 500 milligrams of l-glutamine per serving.
Here are the key benefits of l-glutamine:
- Helps preserve muscle mass
- Increases human growth hormone (HGH) levels
- Regulate the immune and digestive systems
- Improves athletic performance
- Keeps free radicals at bay
L-glutamine is a time-tested ingredient, folks – Golden Era of Bodybuilding icons swear by it.
We're sure you will, too.
All in all, Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino is an awesome BCAA supplement.
We dare you to find a competitor with this many versatile ingredients.
We're confident this product will help you achieve your fitness goals. Period.
Let's check out the formula ingredients:
- Vitamin B6, 2 mg: A vitamin which helps regulate cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system health. An impressive 134 percent of the daily value (anything with at least a 15 percent daily value is high) should do the trick.
- Vitamin B12, 6 mcg: A B vitamin which helps improve heart health and ramp up energy levels. Two hundred fifty percent of the daily value is a sure bet. Trust us.
- Potassium phosphate, 90 mg: Based on our computation, this is equal to a paltry two percent of the daily value. On that note, Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino is not a significant source of potassium phosphate (anything lower than five percent has a low value).
- L-leucine, 2,000 mg: The most anabolic amino acid which helps kickstart protein synthesis, preserve muscle mass, and torch fat.
- L-isoleucine, 1,000 mg: A BCAA which helps ramp up energy levels, shorten recovery, promote healthy blood sugar levels, and repair muscle tissue.
- L-valine, 1,000 mg: A BCAA which helps increase energy levels, repair muscle tissue, boost the nervous system, and improve mental function.
- Betaine, 1,250 mg: An original by-product of sugar beets, this ingredient helps increase power output and energy levels. Betaine also helps lower LDL cholesterol levels for better heart health.
- Taurine, 1,000 mg: An organic compound which helps incinerate fat, improve insulin sensitivity, ramp up testosterone levels, shorten recovery time, improve heart and brain health, and lower stress levels.
- Citrulline malate, 1,000 mg: An amino acid which helps keep fatigue at bay and increase muscle mass. Perhaps its best-known benefit is its ability to increase nitric oxide production for increased muscle pumps and nutrient uptake.
- Creatinol-o-phosphate, 500 mg: The manufacturer claims C.O.P. helps buffer lactic acid, improve muscle contractions and increase stamina. However, studies on C.O.P. aren't as extensive as other bodybuilding supplement ingredients.
- L-glutamine, 500 mg: An alpha amino acid which helps preserve muscle mass, ramp up HGH levels, boost the immune and digestive systems, improve athletic performance, and ward off nasty free radicals.
Formula Analysis
The takeaway is loud and clear, folks: Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino has the most versatile ingredients among BCAA supplements.
Let that sink in for a moment.
You've seen some BCAA products with a touch of creatine and glutamine here and there, which is great.
However, Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino has the full arsenal.
We say the complementary ingredients overshadow the BCAA components by a mile.
A 2:1:1 BCAA ratio?
Hey, it's an effective ratio for a BCAA supplement, but it's common – too common, in fact.
So, what sets this product apart from the rest of the pack?
A potent combo of betaine, taurine, citrulline malate, creatinol-o-phosphate, and l-glutamine, without a doubt.
We've never seen a complementary BCAA ingredient profile as good as this one. Believe it.
We say Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino will not only help you build muscle mass, but it will also help you achieve a plethora of other fitness goals (fat loss, muscle preservation, increased energy levels, to name a few).
This thing packs a wallop, we're telling you – the ingredient choices and the amounts are spot on.
We also laud the manufacturer for its transparency – you won't find any shady proprietary blends here. Bravo.
As impressive as this supplement is, it's not perfect.
First off, all of its six flavors have sucralose, an artificial sweetener which has several side effects.
Moreover, three flavors (Fruit Punch, Blue Raspberry, and Pink Lemonade) have artificial food colorings such as FD&C Red No. 40 and FD&C Blue No. 1.
These, too, have side effects.
Not good.
Despite these shortcomings, Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino is still a good investment.
The takeaway: the manufacturer should come up with a cleaner advanced formula.
That would be awesome.
Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino Benefits
Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino has the following benefits, per its official website:
- Helps build lean muscle mass
- Helps the body metabolize fats, carbs, and protein
- Excellent source of essential amino acids
We agree with all of these claims. Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino should live up to its claims.
Who Takes It?
The manufacturer intended Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino for healthy and active individuals who are at least 18 years of age who want to increase muscle mass and energy levels, achieve their daily fitness goals, and improve their long-term health.
Any Side Effects?
Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino has sucralose, an artificial sweetener with several side effects.
Some of its flavors (Fruit Punch, Blue Raspberry, and Pink Lemonade) have artificial food colorings, which also have certain side effects.
If these, or any other ingredient, make you feel doubtful, please consult your physician before purchasing.
The manufacturer also issues a warning:
Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino Summary
- Versatile ingredients. One of the most versatile BCAA supplements on the market.
- 2:1:1 BCAA ratio. Just about right for a BCAA product.
- Time-tested ingredients. Taurine, betaine, l-glutamine, and citrulline malate, to be more precise.
- Great source of Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. Provides extra health benefits.
- Great transparency. Manufacturer reveals all of the ingredient amounts. Awesome.
- Has fillers. Sucralose and artificial food colorings. Boo.
- Unknown reputation. Not as well-known as other big-name BCAA supplements.
Pricing & Buying Info

- 1 100-Serving Container (100-Day Supply): $69.95

Final Word on Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino
Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino is one powerhouse BCAA product, folks.
Nobody can argue with a potent combo of BCAAs, taurine, betaine, l-glutamine, and l-citrulline.
Get ready for more muscle mass, increased muscle pumps, ramped-up energy levels, and a whole lot more.
Like we said, Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino may have a few chinks, but it's still a worthwhile investment.
We recommend you at least try Mammoth Supplements Mammoth Amino.
When a cleaner version comes out, you buy it. No questions asked.

Boosting Testosterone Naturally through Nutrition
According to studies on how to naturally increase testosterone levels naturally show that there is a distinct correlation between the testosterone levels in a man, diet and weight. Some men might choose to artificially increase their testosterone levels by using hormones and injections, but it is recommended to use
low testosterone supplements
that can naturally boost testosterone. Nutrition is a good way to naturally boost the production of testosterone. There are some foods that should be included in your diet to improve the levels of testosterone production and in the process increase body weight through the building of muscles.
Dairy products are a good way to increase the production of testosterone. Cottage cheese is a good source of protein that is helpful in the production of testosterone. Cheese has no negative effects of fat that would result from the consumption of fat from beef or chicken. Some dairy products however increase the amount of fat in the body. This is not good for the building of muscles and production of testosterone. Fat encourages production of estrogen instead of testosterone. Intake of dairy products should therefore be limited to only the right ones in the right amounts.
Vegetables are also a good source of proteins. Consuming beans does not only give proteins but also fiber and zinc which greatly increase the production of testosterone. Fiber and zinc are also very useful in the elimination of fats that are unhealthy from the body. Broccoli and cabbage are also good for the building of muscles. They have a compound that the body uses to prevent body fat from forming. Body fats increase estrogen which in turn lowers the production of testosterone. Garlic also helps in the production of testosterone. It contains allicin, which helps in the production of testosterone and reduces the production of cortisol, a hormone which competes with testosterone in release. Know
what does testosterone do
Some types of meat are also useful in helping boost testosterone production. Sea foods such as oysters are a good source of zinc which greatly boosts the production of testosterone. Other minerals such as magnesium are also good for testosterone production. Lean beef, poultry and eggs are good source of magnesium and mono-unsaturated fats. Meat as a protein source also contains cholesterol and the intake levels should be watched. Visit this website at
and learn more about testosterone.
In general, natural supplements are recommended for boosting the production of testosterone. They are much safer and do not come with negative side effects like those of injections, pills or hormone replacement therapy.

Xanax is the generic name for Alprazolam
Buy Xanax uk
Generic Xanax UK It is a sedative for the Central Nervous System (CNS) that falls into the category of drugs known as benzodiazepines.
This category includes tranquilizers like Ativan, Valium, and Librium. Xanax is prescribed by licensed doctors and is classified as a category IV controlled substance. Manufacturers recommend Xanax for the treatment of latency, nervousness, and panic attacks.
Benzodiazepines are under public investigation primarily for their highly addictive properties. When these drugs were originally developed (Xanax uk was patented in 1969), pharmaceutical manufacturers stated that they were not habit-forming or non-addictive, but experience has shown that these are some of the most addictive drugs on the market. It is estimated that three million people in the United States have used benzodiazepines daily for periods of at least one year.
In the street, Buy Xanax uk is known by the following names:
- Bars,
- Stairs, and
- Yellow Trucks
Effects of Xanax
The fact that an estimated three million people have been taking benzodiazepines daily for more than a year indicates that patients should be more aware, and be more careful not to follow doctors' suggestions blindly when recommended and prescribed psychoactive drugs. This statistic also shows how doctors ignore recommended prescribed information on medications such as Xanax, as the Federal Bureau of Medicines recommends that Xanax be prescribed for periods of less than eight weeks for the treatment of panic and anxiety attacks.
As with many psychiatric drugs, the original defense and presentation to establish its effectiveness was made by Upjohn (now part of Pfizer) and was based on third-party reports compiled by psychiatrist David Sheehan who said that Xanax helped patients suffering from panic attacks, even though previous research had established that benzodiazepines had little or no effect on panic disorders. Pharmaceutical Upjohn paid Dr. Sheehan for his "research" that helped persuade the government to give Xanax approval. The Xanax, and to a lesser extent the Valium, not only cause a feeling of relaxation, but initially cause a feeling of euphoria and enthusiasm, or a period of much activity followed by an artificial feeling of relaxation. Many people have reported that after having been taking Xanax for one to two weeks, they began to show physical withdrawal symptoms, mainly headaches that were only removed by taking more medication.
Doctor prescribing xanax in uk
Check with your doctor about whether Xanax really
is the solution for you.
This potential addiction is stronger with Xanax than with any other benzodiazepine. However, the DEA (United States Department of Justice Agency that enforces compliance with drug and drug regulations) under the Controlled Substances Act classifies drugs according to their potential medical benefit in relation to their potential abuse and addiction on a Class I scale, considered highly addictive as heroin, to Class V. Xanax and other benzodiazepines are classified as Class IV, which are drugs that have a low potential for abuse, have medical therapeutic acceptance and have a limited risk of physical or psychological dependence. Professionals in addiction report that benzodiazepines are as addictive, both physically and psychologically as painkillers (opiates) derived from opium and other Class II narcotics. In some Xanax forms, it is more problematic than opium-based painkillers (opioids) in that stopping suddenly can cause seizures, requiring medical help for withdrawal while withdrawal of opiates is painful, but is not medically dangerous.
Xanax is so easily prescribed to relieve common stress and lack of sleep that there have been many older patients who have become addicted to their "nerves" medicine without realizing it and when they try to leave it they discover that their original discomforts are now greater. Do you need to buy xanax in UK?
Everyone should read and understand the side effects of any psychoactive drug before accepting a prescription, to make sure that the outcome of the implementation of the treatment will not be worse than the original discomfort.

This is an complete guide to the books in the Deverry cycle by Katharine Kerr
The Deverry cycle has a twisted timeline consisting of a present day (from Jill's birth and onwards) and a past life storyline. In the last book, The Silver Mage, the two timelines will come together. Katharine Kerr describes the twisted timeline as two lines that interlace and interacts with each other. But that in the end you will see that the past and the present are both just two sides to the same thing and that the two lines actually is only one line that weaves itself' 'over and under to form the volumes, like knots.

Since humans learned to communicate with each other, our species has produced thousands upon thousands of unique stories, stories which have almost always dealt with a single individual or small group who either go on to defeat a massive threat, or overcome some impossible trial or situation. Some of these stories have become legendary, and these legends have gone on to inspire other individuals to create their own stories with their own heroic characters, and it is thanks to these creative and amazing authors that we now have so many great novels to read. A novel though, is not the only way to tell a story, as evidenced by how popular comic books continue to be after so many decades, and DC Comics is one of the largest comic book publishers in the world, and the company has produced some of the most iconic stories and heroes in the genre, and Aquaman is amongst those iconic heroes.
The Aquaman character first appeared in 1941, and for most of his existence, he has been known as a white man with blond hair, who wears a gold and green colored suit, and who has the ability to communicate with marine life. Thanks to the immense popularity of comic book characters like Aquaman, movie studios have taken it upon themselves to deliver as many live-action comic book adaptations as possible, and most of these movies have been good, but unfortunately for DC, most of those good movies belong to their main rival, Marvel. It is true that DC's cinematic universe has gotten off to a rocky start, but they are hoping to correct all of that with the release of Justice League, a movie which will feature Aquaman and the rest of DC's most iconic heroes. This version of Aquaman, who is also known as Arthur Curry, is being played by actor Jason Momoa, who is bringing a fresh new look and attitude to the character, and DC fans are hoping that he will make the Atlantean relevant again. With the movie set to release this November, it seems only fair to take a look at the character who will one day rule the seas, so here are 15 things you might not have known about Jason Momoa's Aquaman.
15 The Inspiration Behind Part Of His Armor
Comic book fans were overjoyed when the first photo was released of all the Justice League members standing beside each other, and although Batman and Wonder Woman both had good suits, Aquaman's suit was by far the best of them all. In that picture though, if you look closely at Momoa's arm, you can see him wearing a bracer that appears to have a pattern which resembles that of shark teeth, and there is a good reason for that. Momoa actually has the same pattern tattooed on his left arm, a pattern which symbolizes the Hawaiian shark deity known as Ka-moho-ali'I, and in an interview he stated that many of his family members possess the same tattoo, because the shark actually serves as his family's animal guardian. After coming to understand the meaning behind the tattoo, director Zack Snyder decided to incorporate it into Aquaman's armor, as a nice nod to both Momoa and his family.
14 He Fights Sea Monsters
In the first official Justice League trailer, viewers watched as Bruce Wayne visits a village in search of a man who comes out of the ocean to bring the villagers fish, which leads us to believe that Momoa's Aquaman already lives in Atlantis. If this is the case, then his Aquaman has likely already battled some of the deep water foes that his comic book counterpart has fought in the past, foes which include actual giant sea monsters like krakens and leviathans. Sea Monsters are not the only beings this Aquaman has probably come into contact with though, as there are also beings known as the Trench who live beneath the ocean floor, and these beings are known for being large and vicious, and for having very sharp teeth and big eyes. The Trench will probably not make it to the big screen until the Aquaman solo movie, and if that is the case, then Momoa will probably defeat them in the same way his character did in the comics- by trapping them all in a sea cave.
13 His Father Taught Him To Fight
No matter who the hero is, they need to train if they want to properly hone their fighting skills, and if they have superpowers, then they need to train in order to learn how to use and control those abilities. Aquaman is no different, and Arthur Curry did not grow up in Atlantis with other enhanced individuals, so he needed someone to teach him how use his strength, which is where his father comes in. Tom Curry raised his son alone for many years while Arthur's mother was in Atlantis, and when his powers finally started to manifest, Tom decided to teach his son how to fight, hoping that Arthur would eventually achieve complete control over his powers both physically and mentally. Tom suffers a heart attack though, and passes away during this training period, leaving Arthur to have to fend for himself, but he continues to train on his own, and when the time comes, he uses the skills he learned from his father to save Atlantis and the rest of world. Seeing how important this training was for Arthur, we will likely be getting a flashback scene in the Aquaman movie showing the hero squaring off against his old man.
12 Momoa Sees A Connection With The Character
No matter who the actor or actress is, they will only take roles if they truly feel as though they can relate to a character, or if they simply find a character to be very interesting and compelling, and in Jason Momoa's case, he found a connection between himself and Aquaman. Momoa loves his own Polynesian culture, which is why he was quite thrilled when he learned that he got the superhero role, because in his view, the Aquaman character is a representation of his own culture. In an interview, Momoa made the connection by saying: "a lot of things are very black and white. Aquaman is especially cool because being a Kanaka Maoli—being Hawaiian—our Gods are Kanaloa and Maui, and the Earth is 71 percent water, so I get to represent that." He has also said that he is proud of the fact that he will be able to represent the Hawaiian people as a brown-skinned superhero.
11 He Will Be Advised By William DaFoe
Like Marvel, DC is trying to bring in as many good and well known actors as possible in order to increase the credibility of the superhero movie genre as a whole, and so far, DC has done an okay job with its casting - Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor aside. The Aquaman movie, is set to release in 2018, and with it we are getting Academy Award nominated actor William DaFoe, who is no stranger to the superhero genre as he played Norman Osborn/Green Goblin in the original live-action Spider-Man trilogy. In Aquaman, DaFoe will be playing Nuidis Vulko, a character who was first introduced in the comics in 1967, and who serves as both an Atlantean politician and royal scholar; but in regards to Aquaman himself, he functions as the hero's mentor and adviser. It is quite possible that DaFoe's character will be very important in the solo movie, because if things play out like they did in the comics, Vulko will be a big reason why Momoa's character will save Atlantis from the evil Ocean Master.
10 He Will Have Multiple Costumes In Justice League
Every single movie that has ever been made, relies heavily on the wardrobe department, especially when the movie itself demands that certain characters need to wear specific costumes in order for the movie to properly bring those characters to life; and in superhero movies, it is important to fans that the costumes/suits look good. This list started off by talking about the ornate golden armor worn by Momoa's Aquaman in the first released image of the Justice League together as a team, but as it turns out, this will be just one of several costumes we will see him wearing in Justice League. The lead costume designer for the movie has stated that Momoa's main costume will be the aforementioned armor, with its scale and fish designs, along with a belt that features the hero's logo; but concept art for the movie has also shown that the character will also be wearing ordinary clothing, as well as a more traditional green and gold costume that features a different looking logo on his pants.
9 He Does Not Want To Be A Hero
To be a superhero, a person not only needs to be selfless, but they also have to believe in carrying out justice in the right way, and above all else, they have to be completely willing to help and protect the innocent. Being a hero can actually be a thankless job sometimes, which is why not all heroes get into that line of work willingly, and based on what we have seen from the trailer, Momoa's Aquaman is a perfect example of a reluctant hero. If the trailer was not enough, James Wan, who is directing the Aquaman movie, has said that Momoa's Aquaman does not fight crime because he desires to help people, instead he is more like an outsider who gets sucked into having to help people because of others. Wan has even said, "I look at him, and he's kind of like the Wolverine in some respect. He's the outsider who gets pulled into this world and he kind of doesn't want to belong and he was doing his own thing. And he prided freedom above everything else."
8 He Will Likely Fight Black Manta In The Solo Movie
Marvel and DC might be different companies, but both have a variety of different superheroes who each have their own gallery of villains, and in Aquaman's case, he has several undersea adversaries, with his main nemesis being the villain known as Black Manta. In the comics, Manta is a brilliant tactician with enhanced strength and endurance, but he also possesses a high tech battle suit which allows him to breath underwater, and to fire blasts from his helmet, and it also comes equipped with a variety of implanted weapons. We will apparently not have to wait long to see this guy on the big screen, because according to The Wrap, Black Manta will serve as the main villain in the Aquaman solo movie, where he will be played by actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. This could work out really well if they give this Black Manta a backstory similar to the character who debuted in the original comics, because in the original story, Manta vows to get revenge on Aquaman no matter what, after the hero mistakenly kills his father.
7 He Is Just As Strong As Superman
DC is home to many powerful individuals, and some of these beings, whether they be heroes or villains, are often considered to be gods based on how powerful they happen to be, and Superman has often been considered to be a god. This idea of Superman being a god has been heavily influenced by all of the live-action movies which have showcased the Kryptonian hero, and DC's current cinematic universe continues this trend by making it very clear that Superman is virtually invulnerable, and has the ability to level an entire city on his own if he wanted to. Aquaman though, has never been considered to be that powerful, in fact he has been laughed at a lot over the years by being considered as a hero whose only significant power is talking to fish. In reality though, Aquaman is strong in his own right, as he also possesses invulnerability, as well as strength that is equal to that of Superman and Wonder Woman, which means that Momoa's character can actually hold his own as a "god" himself.
6 He Might Be Protecting A Mother Box In Atlantis
Based on the events that took place in Dawn of Justice, it is a pretty safe bet that DC's cinematic universe is gearing up to have Darkseid serve as the Justice League's main threat, but before we get to see the team fight Darkseid, we will have to first see them battle his uncle Steppenwolf. It is believed that the plot for November's Justice League might focus on Steppenwolf coming to Earth to search for a Mother Box, which is a sentient supercomputer that possesses various powers, including the ability to manipulate both gravity and molecules, and the ability to create force fields and shock blasts; plus it can also communicate telepathically. Based on the trailer, it is fair to say that Momoa's Aquaman initially wants nothing to do with the Justice League, but if a prevalent fan theory is correct, he joins the superhero team in order to stop Steppenwolf from destroying his home, because it is believed that Atlantis secretly possesses and protects one of these Mother Boxes.
5 His Mother Is Queen Of Atlantis
No matter who the hero or villain is, it is always interesting to learn what a character's backstory is, because it helps to develop the character and to give them more depth, and in comic books, a character's backstory always includes their origin; and in Aquaman's case, he has several origin stories. For Momoa's Aquaman, his origin story likely revolves around his father, a lighthouse keeper named Tom Curry, who rescues a woman he finds out on the beach in the middle of a storm, and upon saving her, the two fall in love. This woman though, is none other than Atlanna, an Atlantean princess who loved to surface to visit the world as much as possible, and during her stay with Tom, the two conceived a child - a child who she had to leave behind when it came time for her to return to Atlantis to prepare for her ascension to the throne. This child turns out to be Arthur Curry/ Aquaman, and seeing as Momoa's solo Aquaman movie has signed actress Nicole Kidman to play the role of Atlanna, it looks like his character will be getting this origin story.
4 He Has A Step Brother
In the previous entry, it was explained that Aquaman's mother decided to leave him on the surface world instead of bringing him with her to Atlantis, which left Tom to raise him alone, but Tom did not live the rest of his life alone, as he met another woman, with whom he had another son named Orm Marius. Yes, Momoa's Aquaman has a half-brother, but like many cases, these two did not get along with one another, in fact Orm constantly got into legal trouble and had to rely on his older brother to bail him out. Orm ends up leaving for a couple of years, and when he returns, it turns out that he is now the villain known as Ocean Master, and although he does not possess any of Aquaman's powers, he is still considered to be one of his greatest enemies, as he is constantly trying to steal the throne from his brother. Orm will be appearing in the Aquaman movie, and he will be played by actor Patrick Wilson, and seeing as he was cast as Ocean Master, it is a pretty safe bet that Momoa's character is going to fight his brother.
3 His Wife Originally Tried To Kill Him
Based on pictures from the set, Justice League will feature more characters from the DC universe than just the superhero team and Steppenwolf, and one of those pictures showed actress Amber Heard in costume depicting the character known as Mera. For those who do not know, Mera is Aquaman's love interest in the comics, but she is more than just a pretty face, as she is a fierce warrior in her own right who possesses enhanced strength, some telepathy, impressive combat skills, and the ability to change water density and create any structure with it. In the comics, Mera is actually the princess of a place called Xebel, which is actually a colony of former Atlanteans who were banished to live under the Bermuda Triangle, and she is originally sent out to find and assassinate Aquaman because of his connection to Atlantis' throne; but things do not go as planned, as she instead falls in love with and marries Aquaman, which allows her to later become queen of Atlantis. It will be interesting to see if they make any reference to this assassination attempt in either of the upcoming movies, because it would indeed make their on-screen relationship a lot more interesting.
2 His Trident Can Hurt Superman
A couple of entries ago, it was mentioned how Superman is considered to be something like a god within the DC universe, but in that same entry, it was also mentioned that Aquaman is actually just as physically strong as the Man of Steel. Superman is indeed invulnerable, to the point that his skin cannot even be punctured unless there is some kryptonite being used, but as it turns out, in this movie universe, Aquaman is not only as strong as Superman, but he can even cut him without having to use any kryptonite. For those who are not aware, Aquaman does indeed wield a trident as his weapon of choice, and during a radio interview, Justice League director Zack Snyder made it quite clear that the trident used by Momoa's character is capable of making Superman bleed, which makes it a very powerful weapon. The trident itself is believed to have originally belonged to the god Poseidon, making it more of a magical weapon, and as it turns out, Superman has always had a weakness to magic, which would explain how such a weapon could hurt him.
1 The Flash Convinces Him To Be A Hero
Earlier it was mentioned that Momoa's Aquaman is going to be a reluctant hero who does not really want to get involved with the other members of the Justice League, and in the comic books, he did not really want to be a superhero either, until someone convinced him that he should be. You would think that since Aquaman was raised and trained by his father, that it would have been him who influenced his decision to walk down the hero path, but it was actually Barry Allen, otherwise known as the Flash. In the comics, Aquaman crosses paths with Flash during one of his visits to the surface, and the two quickly become friends, and upon learning that Arthur is from Atlantis, and that he has impressive strength and abilities, Flash suggests that he use his gifts to help save people. These two heroes are founding members of the Justice League, and since they will both be in the upcoming movie that depicts Aquaman as a reluctant individual, then it would be a perfect homage to the comics if the movie's Flash is able to befriend and convince Momoa's Aquaman to join the team.

Shipping News
The maritime world is changing, so the news is. The maritime industry has experienced massive change over the past thirty years and most particularly in the last decade. There have been a significant changes and developments in the offshore industry as well.
Shipping industry serve more than 90 per cent of global trade by carrying huge quantities of cargo cost effectively, cleanly and safely. Fluctuations in this industry are very important and have direct impact on world economy itself.
Shipping has had a number of major changes in its commercial life – from sail to steam, from steam to coal, from coal to oil and now when the oil is finishing what will the ships of tomorrow turn to as a fuel source? Nuclear or solar energy perhaps? Will ship remain as the best, most economical and most environmentally friendly means of transport available?
Containerization revolutionized the shipping world once. Now the structure of shipping industry itself is changing, with Asia, notably East Asia, has become the powerhouse of world shipping business as the largest importer of raw materials and the largest exporter of manufactured goods.
In an era when equations are changing so fast, we may find it difficult to predict what the future holds for world shipping.
'Alliance Marine Solutions' has started its monthly newsletter with an intention to bring the latest news in the marine & offshore world to all players in the industry.
