What if i promised to show you how to easily put $200 - $500 per day into your bank account, working from the comfort of your home. What if I also told you that what we teach has been proven over and over again to make serious money for anyone, regardless of skills, experience, age, or location?

        I used 2 diet supplement products that I saw on TV. Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse, helped me lose 5 stones in 15 weeks. I discovered the 'double diet'. I tried both the special blend of Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse to increase chances of losing weight, and the two went together extremely well.

                          Mike Fancher If you are interested in media/digital/news literacy, check out Sarah Stutteville's posting on the JTM/PNW LinkedIn site. You can get there from JTMPNW.org.

                          Sarah writes, "Just for starters I imagine creating web platforms that help students
                          interact with their peers in other countries on contemporary topics,
                          running ye...ar long in-classroom media literacy programs with at-risk
                          students, offering public summer courses and workshops and generally
                          encouraging Seattle to become a leader in this under-developed (but
                          absolutely crucial) field"

                          JTM Northwest can work to help find funding, but for now we need your ideas added to the discussion.
