Minto Jain works as a real estate broker with Rex Realty, where he helps home buyers find their next home while also listing and selling properties. Outside of his work life Minto Jain is an avid follower of NBA basketball, with his favorite team being the Toronto Raptors.
While the Raptors have shown interest in small forward P.J. Tucker for about a year, it was not until February that they finally pulled the trigger, signing the former Suns player. In exchange for Tucker the Raptors traded Jared Sullinger to the Suns, along with two second-round picks.
If the name sounds familiar to Raptors fans, it is because this is not P.J. Tucker’s first time playing for Toronto. The forward was first drafted by the team in 2006, though his brief run with Toronto only lasted for 17 games, with Tucker playing only about five minutes the entire season.
Tucker then spent five years playing basketball abroad in Israel, Germany, Italy, Ukraine, and Greece. By 2012 he was ready to return to the States, starting his run with the Phoenix Suns. Over the six total seasons P.J. Tucker has played in the NBA, he has averaged 7.8 points per game with 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
In his professional life, Dr. Minto Jain serves as an independent agent with Rex Real Estate Brokerage in Toronto, Ontario. An avid basketball fan in his free time, Dr. Minto Jain follows the Toronto Raptors and has attended several of the team's games.In a basketball game, each team sends five players onto the court. A team usually assigns its tallest player to the position of center, who plays closest to the basket and must be able to effectively accept passes, block defenders, and make scoring attempts under or near the basket. This multi-skilled player needs to demonstrate competency in a variety of shooting styles, including hook and jump shots, as well as in blocking shotmaking attempts from the opposing team.The next tallest player typically takes the position of power forward. Expected to be one of the fastest and strongest players on the team, he or she oversees the lane and thus must be effective in rebounding and inside shooting. The small forward is typically shorter but demonstrates high levels of skill in distance shooting, as this position requires the player keep back from the net to be ready for defensive play.The shooting guard is often the shortest athlete overall but is a strong shooter and has a fast dribble. He or she must be able to effectively move the ball down the court and consistently make shots beyond the three-point line. The point guard, meanwhile, is primarily responsible for setting his or her teammates up to shoot. Skilled in coordination and strategy, he or she can dismantle a defense and execute offensive tactics on the spur-of-the-moment. Like his or her four colleagues, the point guard draws on the strengths of his or her teammates to drive a team's success.

Aim for Seva maintains a number of unique programs and services, including free student hostels throughout the country.The inability to easily access educational facilities ranks as one of the primary reasons that nearly 17.7 million children do not attend school. Free student hostels provide individuals with much more than a safe place to stay in close proximity to school. Additional benefits include tuition support, health care, and school uniforms. Students also attend diverse after-school programs, from athletic activities like yoga and cricket to vocational pursuits such as computer literacy and English language training.

An entrepreneur and a licensed real estate broker from Mississauga, Ontario, Dr. Minto Jain also has experience as a professor of surgery at Queens University. As a co-owner of Medical Imaging Centres (MIC), Dr. Minto Jain has helped the company expand into the area of Nuclear Medicine.. Physician-owned MIC offers diagnostic imaging services to patients. In addition to X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, fluoroscopy, cardiac testing, and bone mineral densitometry services, it offers nuclear medicine services.Nuclear medicine involves giving a patient a small amount of radioactive material, known as radiotracers, to ingest. The material can be injected intravenously, inhaled, or swallowed. After the material has traveled to the correct organs, a gamma camera is utilized to observe the function of internal systems.Less invasive than exploratory surgery, nuclear medicine allows physicians to observe the molecular function of a patient’s systems and identify serious conditions in their earliest stages. The information provided during a nuclear medicine procedure is unlike the data provided by any other diagnostic test.A nuclear medicine procedure can last anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours. Patients typically return to normal activities within the same day. Over time, the radioactive material will naturally decay and exit the body.
