Slimdown Bars are currently only available in Australia and New Zealand.

Personal Background
Monica Rao, MSA has been a passionate meditator for more than twenty years, originally trained in Mumbai, India. Following a near death experience, she is fully healed. She was diagnosed with a rare life-threatening syndrome. In the months that followed, through deep meditation and Intuitive Energy Healing she was guided toward a root cause of this disease. The healing occurred at a rapid rate.
Following her near death and out-of-body experience, her ability to connect with source energy and channel this powerful healing energy became heightened. It then flowed through her magically. Her meditative practice took a quantum leap allowing her the ability to fully connect to her inner soul through powerful spiritual awakening and a full healing from this illness.
Through deep spiritual cleansing, removal of stored dense negative energies and limiting belief system programmed from childhood, she has been free of medications and leads a beautiful life filled with vitality, joy, gratitude, creativity, passion and peace.
She conducts private one-on-one sessions, group sessions, organization/corporate retreats, guided healing meditation workshops on a regular basis at her studio or home/office visits.
She is a full-time Transformative (Intuitive) Energy healer, Meditation Coach and is a Transformational Spiritual Life Coach.
Who can benefit from signing up for sessions?
For those who feel stressed, angry, irritable, imbalanced, have an obsessive or an addictive personality, have sleep issues, fearful, anxious, lack self-love, lack self-confidence or lack self-esteem, signing up for a one-on-one or a group session is usually very therapeutic. If you are dealing with pains and illness or recovering from surgery or trauma, intuitive energy healing and transformative life coaching could help you get your life and your emotional health back in shape.
These sessions have proven to be valuable to those interested in leading a life of joy, harmony, balance, purpose, creativity, good health and love and preventing the on-set of dis-ease before it occurs.
While meditation is not a means to the end, it is indeed the pathway that leads her in accessing information pertaining to the root cause of a condition, diminishing the situation or dis-ease. Through Meditation, she channels healing energies by targeting these to the areas (organs, cells, systems, etc) in the bodies that need it the most for a rapid turn-around.
Over the years, she has worked with a number of clients dealing with but not limited to:
Cancers, traumatic brain injuries, traumas, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, auto-immune diseases, cardio-vascular diseases, addictions, obsessions, inability to focus/restlessness, migraine headaches, rashes, allergies, fear, depression, relationship issues, OCD, sleep disorders, etc.
Through her personal run in with a near death and an out-of-body experience, it is her desire to expand awareness of how healing meditation infused with intuitive transformative energy healing can "heal" underlying factors that result in dis-ease in the bodies.
What are limitations of her work?
This work is preventative but can be therapeutic particularly when coordinated with a medical practitioner. Since much depends on the extent to which the subject is able to establish and maintain the emotional and physical connection, transformative energy healing (intuitive) cannot itself guarantee physical healing. On the other hand, most subjects experience strong emotional healing by tapping into energetic blocks within their emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical levels when the root.

which had been commenced in the confident expectation of securing capital from Great Britain were finding them-selves in an embarrassing position. A boom in land values of city properties was showing signs of collapse. Economists were worrying because of the enormous excess of imports over exports, largely the result of the amount of new foreign capital in process of being spent in the country.
In July, 1913, the proportion of liquid reserves to liabilities in the Canadian chartered banks sank below twenty-one per cent., a level which it had not reached since the equally expansive days of 1907. The current loans of the banks, loans advanced for a longer period than thirty days, amounted in September of that year (when the crop movement was added to the ordinary requirements of trade) to $957,000,000.1 But the forces of retrenchment were even then at work. The instant that crop-moving was completed, the reserve ratio rose above twenty-four per cent., and by February of the following year it was twenty-six per cent., while the volume of loans was slowly but steadily cut down. This work was carried on in the face of violent criticism from would-be borrowers, speculators, advocates of a larger paper currency, and easy-money theorists generally, so that for nearly two years the bankers were the most unpopular class in the community, and were blamed for every discomfort resulting from the collapse of the land boom, the lack of new foreign capital in ever-increasing amount, the curtailment of railway construction, the crop shortages, and many other things of which they were equally guiltless. So difficult was the process of loan reduction that even by July 31, 1914, on the eve of the entry of the British Empire into the war, the total of current loans of the Canadian banks
1Financial Times analysis of Monthly Return of Canadian Chartered Banks. This figure includes all classes of loans made by the chartered banks (current loans and discounts in and out of Canada, loans to governments and municipalities, and overdue loans) with the exception of call and short (less than thirty days) loans in and out of Canada.

I have NEVER been a fan of chewing gum. The thought of someone chewing something all day long, probably with food particles in it, makes me gag. I do not like when I see a sweet picture of a couple and you can see one of them has a piece of neon colored gum in their mouth as they smile wide for the camera. I can't stand to watch someone chew and chew as they have a conversation with you. You have all probably witnessed the "nervous chew", rapidly chewing as they go about their day. It's no wonder after reading the ingredients of many gum packets lately people are chewing like crazy!
It has been YEARS since I have purchased an artificial flavored gum. A couple months back I was driving with my mom and she pulled out a piece of gum. The whole car quickly filled with this STRONG smell. Strong enough I reacted to the smell with a "wow!" (or something like that). I think it was Polar Ice flavored (whoever makes that). No way was I putting that into my mouth. It was so strong. Apparently my sensitivity to smell has changed too. I truly believe that gum is the nonsmokers cigarette. Think about that for a minute.
I felt compelled to write this blog entry so we can get the word out. Chewing gum is not helping you lose weight. It is damaging your taste buds and making you think you need to be chewing something ALL. THE. TIME! Stop now.
This is from Trident Layers gum:
Where do I begin??? Gum Base, I'll just skip that for now (you can google it), Maltitol (artifcial sweetener), Maltitol Syrup (made from Maltitol), Sorbitol (artificial sweetener), Natural and Artificial flavorings (both NOT natural), Mannitol (artificial sweetener), Acesulfame Potassium (artificial sweetener), ASPARTME (Satin's candy), artificial dyes, trans fats, more artificial sweeteners...WOW!
If you think for ONE minute that just because you aren't swallowing the gum it isn't getting into your bloodstream, you are telling yourself whatever you want to hear.

What it means to win a US SBA Growth Accelerator Grant
by Annamaria Konya Tannon, co-founder and CEO of Equita
Equita was announced today as a winner of a $50,000 grant from the US Small Business Administration's Growth Accelerator Fund Competition.
Each generation is inspired by the powerful women who come before us. This is especially true for Equita, our San Francisco based accelerator that focuses on empowering women in tech. As natives of Romania and Hungary, my co-founder Roxana Dantes and I are hugely influenced by our families there. My grandmothers were managers of clothing factories and farms; my mother an entrepreneur in the field of design. Roxana's mother innovated in the public medical system in Romania and encouraged her daughter to pursue her passion of entrepreneurship in the world's largest and freest market: the United States.
Coming to Silicon Valley with strong female role models, we were disappointed by the dissimilar opportunity landscape for young women in tech. I have worked as a serial entrepreneur in the Bay Area for over 15 years and seen little change in the gender balance of the tech and venture capital community. Few people seem willing to genuinely improve the environment for women to pursue leadership positions in the tech sphere.
We have a unique perspective that informs everything we do at Equita — we understand the complete lifecycle of an entrepreneur, from girlhood to being a woman in a male-centric field; and we assist women in navigating the obstacles and securing the skills they need.
We therefore made it our mission to work both with women entrepreneurs that are founding or have founded companies, as well as their younger counterparts — middle school girls who have a passion for thinking outside the box and a desire to shape the social landscape around them. Using these two communities to support and inspire each other is what makes our mission so unique, and Equita so vital.
Winning this grant means more than the recognition. It validates that the work we are doing is valuable, and it means we can reach more people. We will impact the lives of young girls and women, who in turn continue to inspire us day in and day out with their drive, dedication, and unbreakable resolve to do what they love, no matter the setbacks. With this award, we will offer more workshops, an online speaker series, and produce more educational material, so as to encourage young girls and women from any background to reach their full potential.
Years ago, as immigrants, we moved away from everything we knew and the people we loved to pursue our dreams in America. We learned difficult lessons, but we know now how to be and how to help innovators, how to be and how to help changemakers. We will take risks, make mistakes, and continue learning. We look forward to creating a global network of entrepreneurs, mentors, and investors as we move forward, and we thank the US Small Business Administration for helping advance Equita and its mission. To all of you reading this, we invite you to join us on this journey.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the commonest endocrinopathy among women of reproductive age with an estimated prevalence of about 10%. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome may display a wide range of clinical symptoms related to the clinical consequences of persistent anovulation. These effects include infertility, menstrual irregularities ranging from amenorrhea to dysfunctional uterine bleeding, hirsutism and acne.
More important, the long-term effects of PCOS include:
More important, the long-term effects of PCOS include:
- Type 2 diabetes - The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in women diagnosed with PCOS is 7 times higher than controls. Insulin resistance combined with abdominal obesity is thought to account for the higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes in PCOS. However, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes is also increased in non-obese women with PCOS.
- Cardiovascular disease - Insulin resistance and the consequent hyperinsulinemia appears to be the main reason for the increased cardiovascular risk of women with PCOS.
- Endometrial cancer - Prolonged anovulation which characterizes the syndrome is considered to be the main mechanism responsible for continual unopposed secretion of estrogens and consequent increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia and later carcinoma.

Soundtrack review: Grantchester (John Lunn – 2014)
John Lunn is the composer for the well-known British series "Downton Abbey". He also wrote the score for another British TV drama "Grantchester". I enjoyed Lunn's score for "Electricity" which was an electronic gem. I am expecting a different kind of sound from this one.
This score is as serious and elegant as you would imagine a British drama. "Grantchester" has a lot of strict piano tunes, beautiful but cold and some action / suspense pieces which are not intrusive and probably let the viewer enjoy the on screen images better. I am all for including voiceovers every now and then even if I am not familiar with the movie or TV show. In "Grantchester" the tracks with the voice inserts (probably from a priest by the sound of his speech) are my favorites: "The shadow of death", "Faith hope and love" and "Repentance". Half this score is like a sermon spoken on a soft piano undertone. For me it works very well and I am waiting for the next spoken track to pop up.
Still with its serious mood and cloudy British atmosphere, "Grantchester" lacks truly beautiful moments. The sun tries to pierce through but rarely succeeds. I listen to this score and many words come to mind to describe it: elegant, interesting and suspenseful at times. Not once did I think of calling it beautiful. "Grantchester" has its merits and it is an interesting one time listen. It doesn't leave much behind it though and I am not sure it is something I would listen to again. I will remember it though because of the sermons and the sweet piano that accompanied them.

Benedict Cumberbatch is probably the It Guy in filmdom's galaxy these days. A continuous roll of outstanding performances, including his current, multiple award-nominated role as Alan Turing in "The Imitation Game," puts him very much in the public's eye. In fact, just this morning he was nominated for an Oscar for that role.
But, according to Cumberbatch, what has helped him get where he is today is being a meditator. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, Cumberbatch said, "I meditate a lot. That's a huge tool in trying to calm myself, get away from the crazy circus of it all, have a focused mind as well as be a kinder, considerate person in the world."
After studying drama at Manchester University, Cumberbatch taught English to Tibetan Buddhist monks in Darjeeling. "It was a profoundly formative experience at a very young age. It's something I've tried to keep in my life."
And there's good scientific reason for the profound effect that meditation has on our health. A 2013 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that exposure to chronic stress – the kind that sets off our fight-or-flight response – changes the way that genes are activated in our immune cells. Epigenetics, which studies what turns genes "on" or "off," tells us that too much stress over time ignites the cells to fight an infection that doesn't actually exist – this leads to increased inflammation, and increased inflammation can lead to chronic health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer and more.
A 2014 study published in Psychoneuroendocrinology found that meditating for at least 25 minutes a day, three days a week, reduces stress.
Bottom line: Everything we can do to reduce stress increases our chances of a healthier life, and meditation has become an increasingly popular method – I have used it and recommended it to my patients for more than 25 years. I suggest at least 20 minutes per day, every day, and my patients say it makes a difference in their sense of well being, not to mention their health.
Cumberbatch, like other celebrities, also knows meditation's benefits. He has good company: Goldie Hawn, The Beatles, Kobe Bryant, the Seattle Seahawks, Lena Dunham, Hugh Jackman, Phil Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Anderson Cooper, Arianna Huffington, U.S. Rep Tim Ryan, and more. The list is long, the positive results verifiable.

Back in port soon
Still on the LMG, we're waiting for room at the dock and should be able to tie up by 1500. The Drake wasn't too bad, but the Straights of Magellan roughed us up pretty good. 70mph winds and 25ft+ seas for a day and a half, not the most fun I've ever had.

Of all the topics I could have chosen to write about this week, the one I kept coming back to was the whole issue of "living wage." You guys are a pretty sharp audience by the fact you read this publication, so maybe one of you can help me figure out the living wage crowd. I just don't get them.
If you saw last week's IBJ, you probably read Michael Dabney's story on the ongoing efforts by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to unionize downtown janitors. The SEIU argues that the $7-and-something an hour janitors get paid is not enough and they need to make a living wage. They say a living wage is the amount needed to meet the "minimum standards of living," a vague definition I don't understand.
When we talk about a minimum standard, what do we mean? Are we talking a two-bedroom downtown or a two-bedroom on the east side? Are we talking shopping at O'Malia's or Trader Joe's or Aldi's?
I argue that a living wage for me is to enjoy two decent martinis and a good cigar every day. For my brother who owns a home and has three daughters, his needs for a living wage are completely different. Of course, it does include ammunition, as his daughters are turning into teen-age girls.
When I look at the people who are clamoring for a "living wage," I also have to ask them, what are you qualified to do? One of the underlying principles of the free-market system is supply and demand; the more of the supply, the cheaper the product. And when it comes to living wage, the more people who can do the work, the less valuable the work is. And no offense to anyone who cleans for a living, but you don't need a degree from Harvard or Yale to be a good janitor. All you need is a strong work ethic.
When you can split atoms, while performing open-heart surgery, while crafting your next piano concerto, then you can talk to me about getting more cash. Until then, get lost. Don't expect a McDonnell Douglas salary when all you have are McDonald's skills.
Now, if employers want to pay their janitors, or anyone else who does menial labor, a lot of money, I say more power to them. In fact, I encourage it. Seem contradictory? Not really. Fundamentally, we all get what we pay for. And if you pay low wages, you won't get the best people for the job.
If I went into business for myself, I would pay my employees top dollar, not because I thought people should be paid a "living wage," but because I want the best and brightest to show up on my doorstep.
But not all employers are that enlightened. And some will just try to get by paying the bare minimum. Oh, well. The last time I checked, the 13th Amendment was still in effect and no one can be forced to work anywhere they don't want.
I was always taught that, if you want to make a good living for yourself, do all the things to prepare yourself, like get a good education and look for opportunities. Maybe if the people who say they need to make a living wage did that instead of complaining about how much they don't make, they would be better off and enjoy a nice life instead of complaining about not making a living.

1985 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class convertible description
Up for auction is my beautiful 1985 Mercedes 380 sl roadster. I purchased this car from its original owner a little over 3 years ago. It has always been garaged and according to the original owner rarely used during our mild winter Georgia months. I have the original purchase documents, window sticker, owners manuals, keys, tool ba, dealer tag (on front) and first aid kit, etc. The Nautical blue paint is completely original and shows extremely well for its age with only minor blemishes. The original blue soft top is in very good condition and due to its minimal use in the up position did not warrant a replacement. There is a small (3 inch) tear on the right rear, due to being pinched when down, and a small rip in .plastic window. The hard top is in excellent condition inside and out and includes the stand and cover as well as the cover storage bag. As mentioned earlier, I am the second owner. And although the car had been maintained extremely well, some items needed attention to bring it to its current level. I have replaced the leather seat covers with original leather upholstery including the head and arm rests. All shocks were replaced with original equipment Bilsteins. The timing chain service including guide rails and tensioner has also been replaced. The brake pads and rotors have also been serviced. The tires are new Generals with less than 300 miles on them. Other items replaced are : steering coupler, turn signal stalk (handle), shifter bushings, rear flex plate (U- joint), rear sway bar bushings, battery, and a recent oil change. At some point the original owner had the air conditioner converted to 134, however it is currently low on coolant and does not cool. All components are in place, and I believe with a charge of Freon it would cool as it should. This classic Mercedes has been driven less than 3000 miles during my ownership, It is extremely dependable and has never left me stranded. Every time I drive it, people comment on its beauty. It is a true time capsule/survivor as everything looks completely original, right down to the front dealer tag. It has always lived in Atlanta and shows to have had a pampered life. There is absolutely no sign of accident damage or corrosion, and as mentioned before retains 100 percent of its original paint. Mercedes of this era are plentiful. To find one with this much documentation and in original condition however is very rare. I am an avid car enthusiast/ collector. I have restored and owned many classics both foreign and domestic. I am only listing this car because space has become an issue. These 80s classics have been recently recognized as increasing in value to collectors. The reserve price is lower than current collector price guides for cars of this vintage. Please feel free to call me with any questions you might have, 678-521-3388. I can assist in shipping to both domestic and international buyers. The vehicle is located 30 miles north of Atlanta Georgia. Good luck in bidding. I am listing in other media as well so this auction could end at any time.

Meaningful local recipients for your household goods.
Summer is a busy season for moving, downsizing, redecorating, and combining newlywed households. Expedite Group receives frequent requests from clients wondering how best to pass along their old furniture. Here's a quick rundown of local organizations doing meaningful work for our communities with your no-longer-needed items.
The Green Chair Project. This non-profit was founded to help Raleigh's population in need with gently-used household furnishings from the community, keeping furniture out of crowded landfills and into empty homes.
Durham Interfaith Hospitality Network. This Durham organization assists families transitioning out of homelessness with temporary shelter solutions. Part of their uniqueness lies in that families room together nightly, unlike other shelters which often separate the men from the women and children. When permanent residences are established, these families need help equipping their new homes. Durham IHN welcomes donations of furniture, linens and kitchenware.
Helping Hand Mission, Inc. The Helping Hand Mission Inc. assists families on a one-on-one basis with food, clothing, furniture, and shelter. The Mission receives reusable items from families all over Wake County and surrounding areas. The mission also provides pickup services for large items such as furniture and appliances. These items can be picked up within 24 hours.
Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Habitat for Humanity helps all of us because they create homeowners in our community, and increasing home ownership causes a multitude of positive changes in our neighborhoods. While this store operates like any other thrift store, by supporting their efforts you can know your community will benefit directly. Furniture as well as hardware items (such as light fixtures and cabinet knobs) are welcome.
Durham Rescue Mission. This organization houses and supports men, women and children in crisis. They operate several thrift stores in the area to provide low-cost shopping as well as buoy their operating costs. Furniture and appliances are accepted as well as clothing and other household goods.

Now you can feel great about the positive ways your old furnishings are helping your community! Clear it out, move it on, spruce it up, and help our neighbors at the same time.

"Well, if DC ain't gonna make us a good Justice League movie any time soon, why not let Marvel take a crack at it." — Hunter Rasmussen, writing at DailySuperheroes
Love 'em, hate 'em, or in between, we've had a lot of comic book characters and teams adapted for TV and film over the past couple decades, and we have plenty more in the offing. But, naturally, we all have some favorite(s) that haven't made it to live-action, yet. ("Invincible", anybody?)
I came across an article titled "10 Marvel Superteams Who Deserve Movies" by Hunter Rasmussen at DailySuperheroes. (He purposely excluded "any official Avengers or X-Men teams" in order to simplify things and spotlight lesser-known groups.) I thought I'd give my 2 cents' worth in response to Rasmussen's suggestions. So, following his ordering…
10. New Warriors: Rasmussen referred to his favorite version of the team (pre-Civil War) as "incredibly wonderful,… charming and funny", and he thinks a "straight up comedy" New Warriors film would work best. Much as I liked them back in the day, I'm not so sure this team (in any version) has the popularity to draw crowds to the theater. But, an action-comedy is probably the best bet, imho. Also, remember that Freeform is developing a half-hour action-comedy NW series (starring Squirrel Girl), which will likely debut this year.
9. Exiles: Hmmm. I enjoyed this comic series, but my initial reaction to making it into a film was negative. However, I am warming up to the idea. The fact that it involves characters from various Marvel realities & timelines traveling from one reality/timeline to another could make for an interesting movie plot and fun action, while also keeping it separate from the main Marvel properties. OK, I'm in!
8. Alpha Flight: I love me some Alpha Flight (especially the original John Byrne incarnation), and I would love to see a faithful adaptation to either small- or big-screen. It would be best to have some link to the X-Men (even if merely referenced in dialogue or some other Easter eggs), as there is in the comics. But, the plot could be something totally unrelated to Wolverine or the other mutants. (Of course, a Logan cameo would be awesome.) Plus, I'm sure our Canadian friends would appreciate seeing their government-sanctioned home team get the live-action treatment.
7. X-Factor Investigations: This comic series was about Jaime Madrox, the Multiple Man, leading a detective agency made up of various X-people not currently on the usual mutant superteams. I read a few issues and agree that it has a lot of promise for adaptation. In fact, a few years ago I mentioned it as a potential live-action, X-Men-related TV series. More recently, it was announced that James Franco would be starring as Madrox in a solo film. Whether or not X-Factor Investigations or any of those characters will be in the film is unknown at this time.
6. MI-13: I had trouble remembering this one, as it has been many years since I read any of the relevant comics. As Rasmussen summarized, "MI-13 is the British equivalent of Alpha Flight… a governmental agency that can call on any and all British superheroes." Not exactly, but close enough. This opens up many possibilities for characters, plots, and locales to use that are more UK- and Euro-centric. Part superhero team, part intelligence agency, and part paranormal investigations, this organization could indeed be the basis for a cool movie or three.
5. Young Avengers: According to Rasmussen, this doesn't count as an "official" Avengers team, since it was unsanctioned. Personally, I like most of the characters, and there some good material available for stories. But,… part of the reason it works in the comics is because of the various connections to Marvel's big name Avengers (e.g., Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye), as well as supervillain Kang the Conqueror, which aren't there in the film universe. I just don't see how it would work. Maybe in another 10-20 years?
4. Squadron Supreme: I was quite fond of the JLA-like Squadron — originally, the Squadron Sinister — from another Earth in my youth. It had some fun characters (especially the Superman-analog, Hyperion, and the simple-minded Shape) and explored some intriguing ideas (e.g., what if the JLA took over the world?). I haven't read any newer stuff, but it sounds like not much has changed. As Rasmussen says, "Squadron is about how power corrupts and at what point we should question authority. And, holy heck, would it make a great stand-alone movie. No MCU connections needed. So good."
3. Thunderbolts: On the one hand, this was an enjoyable series with some cool characters and an interesting, unusual premise — i.e., supervillains masquerading as superheroes, who (mostly) then decide to really go legit. The fact that criminal-turned-hero Hawkeye stepped in to lead them was icing on the cake. I agree with Rasmussen that the members' internal struggles made for some great character-growth in a fun redemption tale. (I seem to remember later issues veering away from this somewhat.) But, I'm not convinced that it would translate so well to the big-screen without the villains' histories being established, as they had been for many years in the comics.
2. The Sinister "Six": Rasmussen isn't referring to any of the original villains that made up this team and which were slated to be in the apparently-shelved Sinister Six film. Rather, he wants to see live-action versions of a relatively new incarnation of the team, as seen in the comic series Superior Foes of Spider-Man (2013). He calls it "the funniest and best written Marvel comic in recent memory." I have no idea, since I am totally unfamiliar with it. But, in principle, I am less optimistic that a team of D-list supervillains could draw any but the most die-hard Marvel fans.
1. The Runaways: As I've mentioned before, I liked this comic series about likable, gifted teens on the run from their supervillain parents. It has definite potential. But, I think the story works better as a regular- or mini-series for the small-screen, rather than as a movie. Much more time to develop characters and plot. Apparently, Marvel agrees with me, since they developed that very series with Hulu, and 9 out of 10 episodes have already aired as of this writing. I haven't watched it, yet, but I hope to soon. (Probably after Season 1 of "The Gifted" finishes up.)
In summary, then, I think there are various reasons why several teams on Rasmussen's wishlist wouldn't work out as movies. But, Exiles, Alpha Flight, MI-13, and Squadron Supreme have the most promise as do-able, live-action adaptations of lesser-known Marvel superteams that need only maintain tangential connections to the rest of Marvel's cinematic adventures. Is anyone at Marvel/Fox/Disney listening? Helloooooo?
P.S. Incidentally, if you're wondering what Marvel properties I think would make good TV series, check out "7 Marvel Properties that Should Be on TV (Part 1 of 2)" and "7 Marvel Properties that Should Be on TV (Part 2 of 2)".

Frank Vatrano picked a great time to score his second goal of the season.
The Boston Bruins found themselves in an early hole Saturday night at TD Garden, as the Toronto Maple Leafs jumped out to a quick two-goal lead. The B's didn't take very long to respond, though, as Vatrano perfectly deflected a Torey Krug shot to bring Boston back within one.

Twelve Months' Worth of Sales in Just Six Weeks…a Retail Success Story
'Jan' had been in business for over five years, operating a high-end fashion retail outlet. But despite the fact she stocked beautiful clothes at an affordable price, Jan's fashion business had never produced an income greater than $170,000 annually.

From Losing $750,000 in Three Hours to Total Financial Freedom
For 'John' and 'Sue' Traill, the storm couldn't have come at a worse time.
Their sheep and crop farm in north-west NSW had been in their family for three generations, but Sue and John were at risk of losing it all due to amount of debt they'd gone into to buy John's dad out.
Then one fateful night bought four inches of rain down on their high value crop of mung beans…a crop that was meant to be their financial freedom.
Adding Three Million Dollars the Bottom Line in Three Months

At just 45 years of age he had built a successful business that was turning over a couple of million a year, and appeared to be happily married with a young family.
But all was not what it seemed.

What are the benefits of tinting my car's windows?
Window film protects both you and your car from the damaging effects of the Sun. With the ever-increasing breakdown of our ozone layer, dermatologists warn against over exposure to the sun. Polarised sunglasses protect the eyes, Sunblock protects the skin, and window film protects the interior of your car.
- Reject up to 82 percent of the sun's total solar energy
- Block out 99.9% percent of harmful UV
- Reduced interior heat
- Improved occupant comfort
- Reduced glare
- Increased privacy also means increased security.
- Extended air conditioning equipment life
- Increased fade protection
What is window tint?
Basically it's a combination of polymer layers treated with either metal, carbon or solar and heat management coatings. There are many new ways to make window tint nowadays, but one thing is clear, its affordable protection with visual appeal.
What do I use to clean my tinted windows?
ARMA tint cleaner, if you've taken the time to read this, then ask your ARMA store to throw one in with the tint and mention the website.
- Do not clean your window for at least 2 weeks after installation.
- Use a soft, clean cloth for the inside of the windows only.
- Never use a cleaner not formulated for aftermarket tinted windows.
- Never clean film with abrasives.
- Never clean with ammonia.
- Never attach adhesives or suction cups to the film.
Why should I choose one kind of tint over the other?
Different tinting films provide different levels of heat rejection, UV and glare reduction. If you know what shade of tint you want, the only decision is what level of protection you need.
How dark can I legally tint my windows?
As dark as you can legally tint windows according to state law.
How long does it take to have tint installed?
Generally, between 2-4 hours but you should expect to leave your vehicle for most of the day to allow for clean up and unforeseen challenges that may pop up.
Can it ever be removed?
Yes. As the leading tint professionals, ARMA can remove any old tint without any damage to your cars windows.
Why is your warranty better than everyone else's?
All of our tints are world leading state-of-the-art technology driven films that come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. We provide the best available quality films and professional service. The LIFETIME WARRANTY shows that we stand behind our products.
Why do I see bubbled or purple tint on cars?
Usually its due to inferior tinting films and shoddy installation. There really is no other excuse. If our tint ever bubbles, we will replace it at no additional cost to you.
Is window tint legal?
Yes, it is. There are limits to how dark you can go though. With the increase in harmful UV rays getting through the Ozone layer, more and more professional bodies are getting behind window tinting.
Can't I just go to the store and buy some tint and do it myself?
You'll wish you didn't. You'll end up extremely frustrated and you will have to pay more to have it removed if it needs to be. It doesn't matter how good the film is, if its not installed by a professional, it can still bubble.
Will you tint my vehicle darker than the legal limit if I pay you cash?
No. Breaking the law can cost you a whole lot more than a fine. If you are involved in an accident and you have illegal tint on your car, you could be fined and/or charged with breaking the law. Insurance companies can refuse to pay for any accident related expenses based solely on the fact that you have illegal tint installed on your vehicle.
Will the tint damage my rear demister?
No it will not. We tint right over the top of it.
Will you come to my location?
We do for home and office tinting, but not for automotive tinting, because a good automotive tint job requires good lighting and a clean enclosed environment.
Won't window tinting ruin my view?
Actually, just the opposite is generally true. You may be surprised to hear that most residential window film is very lightly tinted. It isn't the color or even the darkness of the film that provides most of the benefits of tinting. The special formulations of today's professional films perform most of the work. In fact, having window film installed will usually enhance your view.
Does the building have to be vacated during the installation?
Installing window film involves no odors or chemicals and can be provided during normal business hours with minimal interruption of daily routine. If there is a concern, special arrangements can be made for evening and weekend installations. We do ask that three to five feet of space be cleared in front of the window so that our crew can thoroughly clean the windows and apply the film.

The Captain
Lead Digital Media Producer
Sourcing Ninja
If you feel particularly bold to join forces in our company, we'd love to hear from you.
We are in the business of developing happy kids who practice what they love. We believe that increasing happiness in children leads to improved performance. And improved performance leads to great results. And great results lead to increased happiness. So our starting point and main focus is PLAY.
Our students improve a lot faster. Why? Simply because we take away their fear of speaking up and their fear of failing.
1. guided English board and card games
2. flipping the classroom
3. interesting guided writing
4. real-life English listening
5. weekly presentation
If the student becomes as good as the teacher in performing a presentation, everything else, grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, pronunciation will improve effortlessly, leading to great results and again to more happiness.
The English Teacher Limited was established end 2009. We had moved from the 14th floor to be able to expand business so that we would not be restricted to 19 students a day. We applied for a School Registration with the Education Bureau of Hong Kong.
It took us more than a year to get our school permanently registered under the laws of Hong Kong. Quite a stretch. Bureaucracy? Perhaps but we did it.
YouTube, something we always wanted to do. We made it a reality as you know it now and we are committed to continue updating our channel with more videos.
We started to grow and thought it would be a good idea to give MTR promotion a go. In hindsight, this didn't give us any benefit even though the locations of the posters were great.
Times were tough and what do you do as an entrepreneur? The unusual. Something different. And because rule number 1 is to stay in business, you do what you need to do. You get creative. You become more audacious. Remember kids: there will always be people who will hate you. Don't worry. It's a natural fact of life. Don't let it hold you back.
We successfully turned our learning centre in our first franchise.
We had to revoke the current franchisee's licence. We learnt a lot from this experience and it was the best thing that could happen because we knew that we had to change a few things that were clearly not ready and not working.
Picking up the pieces. After becoming at peace with myself through my Landmark adventure and after exactly 1 year living in the outskirts of Bangkok, mostly in solitude, I moved back to Hong Kong to continue pursuing my dream: "Transforming Education In Hong Kong. (I advise anyone to take a close look at the suicide rate amongst children in Hong Kong and you'll get it)
Our vision is to establish 154+ English Teacher learning centres in over 4 countries in Asia by 3 May, 2020 and to provide free and paid online English learning services to reach and teach anyone who believes learning English with us will improve the quality of their lives.
When we can be authentic with ourselves, we automatically are that with others.
When we live in commitment, we can always recommit when lapsing.
Fail to succeed
We understand and religiously believe that one must fail enough in order to be great at anything.
We commit to taking 100% responsibility for our output and for our lives.
We believe that discipline is not punishment but training. To be great at anything, you need to train, work hard with a measurable and consistent method.
We commit ourselves to doing all things like we would want them to have done for us.
The only moment when we give up is when we die. But by that time we have passed it on to the next generation.
At The English Teacher Limited we are committed to creating a world where we help students discover the joy in learning English in an effortless and playful way – online and offline – where they take on the principle that making mistakes is necessary for all learning and success. Through this learning process they become happier, experience improved performance and receive great results which ultimately shapes them into confident, positive and successful human beings.
We are currently developing different surveys to Build, Measure and Learn what our clientele, Hong Kong people, think and to test whether what we develop really works. So head over to our survey section and take one. One of them is to check if customers would want "A Free Online English Learning Platform". For another we will need a limited number of 20 committed adult students to be the first to try it out our "One-minute English Listening Exercises". Very soon to come!
If you know us via our YouTube channel, you might not have seen any new content recently but we are working hard and long hours to produce new playlists such as "Listen Up!", "Learn Proper English Pronunciation", and "Bedtime Stories". All very exciting things and still in progress at the moment.
Since "the return of the Jedi" (ahum), me, people have been asking if I could teach their kids English during the summer. We are working hard to get that going as well. We will announce it here and on our YouTube channel. 2 videos are in the pipeline to announce these classes. To lift the tip of the curtain just a little, we can tell you that they are going to be one-off classes of 2-hour sessions so you don't have to commit to an entire summer. Sound good?

Questions in The Nucleus and its Functional Domains
Page 4 out of 5 Pages
- Can you explain how NOR relates to the nucleolus if at all? I am confused by it.(5530 views)
- Can you explain the christmas tree diagram of rRNA processing? What are the branches and 'ornaments' showing again?(8819 views)
- Can someone explain what Mr. Mehrtens was saying about replicons, ori, and foci. I need help sorting out which ones give way to which ones. (8966 views)
- Since the nuclear "speckles are storage sites of splicing components, which are then recruited to actively transcribed genes where pre-mRNA processing occurs.", is it safe to say that you would expect to see nuclear speckles in inter chromosomal domains?
(5042 views)
What's the point of the tandem arrays found on the genes that code for the 5S, 5.8S, 18S, and 28S genes?
Does it just allow for more rRNA's to be made at a given moment in time?(2488 views)
- Does the lamina just hold onto the chromosomes to prevent them from moving out of their domains?(4767 views)
- I thought centromere was the term used for the point where the two sister chromatids connected, but in interphase there isn't a duplicate so why is there a centromere? Also, in interphase, these chromosomes appear to be all mixed together, so how is it that they are separate?
(5602 views)
- What exactly is the NOR made of? There are many NORs in the nucleolus, right? Since there are 5 chromosomes with tandem arrays(of the 5.8S, 28S, and 18S genes) on them, are there 5 NORs per nucleolus or can a chromosome have multiple NORs.(4882 views)
- When we learned about the dense fibrillar region and the fibrillar region, I'm guessing that the "dense" part is referring to packing density, not gene density, right?(5304 views)
- In lecture, it was said that the "ornaments" on a tandem array are "machinery used to cut and assemble rRNA." It was also said that snoRNP's are what actually cut the 45S rRNA gene into the 5.8S, 18S, and 28S rRNA's. With that being said, would it be safe to assume that the ornaments on a tandem array are essentially the snoRNP's? Or are the ornaments and snoRNP's two totally different things?(4998 views)
