Mistras Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG ), a leading "one source" global provider of technology-enabled asset protection solutions, reported record financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $102.1 million, an increase of 28%, over the $79.8 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 28% to $17.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 versus $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 grew by 27% to $6.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, versus $5.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. For the year, net income was $16.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, versus $10.4 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in fiscal 2010.

During the fourth quarter, the Company achieved broad based revenue growth across all of its business segments and surpassed $100 million in quarterly revenue for the first time.

Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (CRWE)

Crown Equity Holdings Inc's selection of Core Link reflects recent diversification beyond CRWE's original charter as a provider of services and knowledge to small business owners taking their own companies public. In addition to these services, Crown Equity Holdings Inc has transitioned into a multifaceted media organization that publishes clients' news online; sells advertising adjacent with its digital network targeted at a high-income audience; designs, hosts and maintains websites; produces marketing videos from concept to final product; crafts press releases and articles for maximum SEO; develops email campaigns; and forges branding campaigns to bolster client company images.

The benefits of online marketing are:
1) Online marketing gives you access to global markets
Since the internet is a global medium, it allows buyers and sellers alike to do everything with one click from one country to another in just a matter of seconds.
2) Online marketing is more flexible
Paper catalogues have fixed prices until the next time that you print a new set but prices of digital catalogues can be adjusted daily to adapt to the availability of the product, changing prices in the market and promotions to match changing market conditions.
3) It reduces operational costs and increases efficiency
With online marketing, you do not have to spend for maintenance of a physical store. You won't have to pay for rent, utilities and insurance. Printing and mailing paper catalogues are more expensive than digital catalogues which are relatively easier and faster to make.
4) Online marketing allows you to build a relationship with your customer
Because all transactions are done through emails and/or chats, business owners can interact with their customers at a personal level and they can get to know more about the customers' needs.

Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. together with its digital network, currently provides electronic media services specializing in online publishing, which brings together targeted audiences and advertisers.

Gold is a rare metal. It has the chemical symbol Au. The purity of gold is described by its 'fineness' in parts per 1,000 or by the carat scale which is parts per 24. The word 'carat' derives from the Italian carato, Arabic qirat or Greek keration, all meaning the fruit of the carob tree. Ancient traders used carob seeds as the means to balance the scales in oriental bazaars. Pure gold is 24 carat or 1,000 fine.
Gold is very unreactive. This means it is resistant to corrosion and tarnishing. That is why a gold nugget can be buried in the ground for thousands of years and still come up looking shiny.

Biomass Energy results in no new net GHG (green house gas) emissions as it is part of the carbon cycle. Unlike coal and others forms of fossil fuel which have been buried millions of years ago and burning them adds to carbon in the atmosphere, responsible biomass energy generation results in no new carbon emissions or pollution.

Biomass Energy is an Efficient Process which results in the use of mostly animal and crop waste which would be converted into carbon dioxide anyway. To use to as energy before the conversion is an important use of the millions of tons of waste that is generated by human activities.

National Health Partners, Inc. (NHPR)

By shifting more expenses to patients, the cost-sharing approach leads to a general increase in health care costs. The higher health care costs are then passed on to the consumer, making the system even more inaccessible to the underinsured. If patients choose to forego treatment and medication, rather than incurring debt, they wait until their conditions worsen and then go to the emergency room. Not only does this make their individual health care more expensive, but the process further strains the health care system and once again increases overall costs, creating a vicious cycle that continues to worsen and continues to take the greatest toll on the poor and sick.

National Health Partners, Inc. is a national healthcare savings organization that provides discount healthcare membership programs to uninsured and underinsured people through a national healthcare savings network called "CARExpress." CARExpress is one of the largest networks of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers in the country and is comprised of over 1,000,000 medical professionals that belong to such PPOs as CareMark and Aetna. The company's primary target customer group is the 47 million Americans who have no health insurance of any kind. The company's secondary target customer group includes the millions of Americans who lack complete health insurance coverage.

National Health Partners, Inc. (NHPR), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced that it has entered into agreement with a major Hispanic marketing group for the sale of its CARExpress programs. The company also sees growth in new sales of memberships of more than 300% thru the remainder of the year.

Under the new agreement, this national Hispanic marketing group will be promoting the company's CARExpress discount healthcare membership program to Hispanic communities located across the United States, with particular focus on cities and regions containing a large number of Hispanics. With the previously announced plans to increase monthly sales by 75% with its newest and most successful marketing partner, the company now expects sales of new members to grow more than 300% thru the remainder of the year.

Gold is a yellow soft malleable metal considered valuable, both as an investment and as an adornment. Chemically, gold does not react with most chemicals, but is affected by chlorine, fluorine, aqua regia and cyanide. Gold dissolves in mercury, forming amalgam alloys, but does not react with it. Gold is insoluble in nitric acid, which will dissolve silver and base metals, and this is the basis of the gold refining technique known as "inquartation and parting". Nitric acid has long been used to confirm the presence of gold in items, and is the origin of the colloquial term "acid test," referring to a gold standard test for genuine value. Gold is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity making it ideal for electrical components and contacts.

Biomass is material that comes from plants. Plants use the light energy from the sun to convert water and carbon dioxide to sugars that can be stored, through a process called photosynthesis. Organic waste is also considered to be biomass, because it began as plant matter. Researchers are studying how the sugars in the biomass can be converted to more usable forms of energy like electricity and fuels.
Some plants, like sugar cane and sugar beets, store the energy as simple sugars. These are mostly used for food. Other plants store the energy as more complex sugars, called starches. These plants include grains like corn and are also used for food.

Vision disorders are often caused by the shape of the eyeball. The lens of the eye bends light to focus an image on the retina. This bending of light is called refracting. A misshapen eye will not refract the light properly. This can result in an image that is focused in front of the retina, behind the retina, or even multiple focal points. The natural shape of the eye, and the ability of the eye muscles to subtly alter this shape, both play a part in the eye's ability to focus clearly on an object.

National Health Partners, Inc. is a national healthcare savings organization that provides discount healthcare membership programs to uninsured and underinsured people through a national healthcare savings network called "CARExpress."CARExpress is one of the largest networks of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers in the country and is comprised of over 1,000,000 medical professionals that belong to such PPOs as CareMark and Aetna.
