  • About Tom Paladino:

    The Scalar Light instruments have been perfected and can identify and negate the molecular intelligence of pathogens embedded in a photograph.

    Currently, over 400,000 species of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoan can be identified and negated by way of these custom-built Scalar Light instruments.

    Thus, my Scalar Light research and practice offer humanity the prospect of excellent health.

    Additionally, the Scalar Light instruments can impart the Scalar Light intelligence of micro-nutrients upon the photographic force fields of people, animals and plants. Many people attest to the benefits of the Scalar Light Nutrient Program.

    The Scalar Light instruments can balance and harmonize brain waves as well as the chakras. I believe that Scalar Light will serve as a new and effective protocol for psychological and emotional conditions.

    All Scalar Light sessions impart non-physical divine light upon photographs of people, animals, plants, and objects.

  • LinkedIn has rolled out another new feature to make the platform more engaging, more interactive, and highlight those who are creating amazing content.

    It is slowly being rolled out so if you don't have it yet, don't fret...you will in time.

    To check and see if you do have it, do these three things:

    1. Open the LinkedIn app on your phone

    2. Scroll through your newsfeed until you find a video

    3. When you do, click on it and swipe up. If it takes you to the next video in the cue, you have access to the "video-only feed". If it takes you back to the original video, you don't as of yet.

    What does this all mean?

    Short-form content is converting better at the moment so start with 30-60 second videos.

    You can also use opus.pro to click down a longer video into shorter clips.
