In his book, Big Fat Diver, entrepreneur Alex Mackey shares his uplifting story of heartbreak, weight loss and becoming a college diver at age 43.

Torrance, CA - February 24, 2016: Those who believe that it is too difficult or late in life to begin following their passions, should read the personal story of Alex Mackey, who at the age of 40, after suffering a great loss began his journey into competitive college diving.

The book entitled Big Fat Diver, begins as Alex and his wife Janice give birth to their son Seth, who was born prematurely and spends his first five months in the NICU. Due to an unexpected circumstance, Alex’s life takes a turn for the worse and he becomes obese as he eats his way through the stress.

“Writing Big Fat Diver has been therapeutic in a way,” explained Alex Mackey. “It helped me realize that no matter what struggles we go through, things are eventually resolved. What shapes our character, is how we react to those challenges. I can be a better person by recognizing the trial and making a conscious decision to turn it into a positive rather than complain and ask myself, why me?”

Despite feeling heartbroken, Alex decides to turn his life around. He embarks on an inspiring weight loss journey, enrolls in diving classes at the local community college and is able to lose over 70 pounds. Alex soon develops a passion for diving and at age 40, decides he wants to join a local diving team and potentially make it to the California State Diving Championships. 

A week after joining the local college diving team, Alex tore both of his rotator cuffs during a bad dive and had to undergo two major surgeries. His dream of competitive diving was put on hold for over two years but once fully recovered, Alex sought out the noted American Olympic Diver, Greg Louganis and an unlikely friendship developed.

Greg Louganis became Alex’s personal diving coach and helped land him a spot on the El Camino College Diving Team in January 2016. Alex participated in his first dive meet on February 20, 2016, where he won both the 3-meter board and 1-meter board competitions. Alex is currently striving to make it to the College State Diving Championships in May 2016.

“Winning both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards at my very first meet feels like it validates this whole journey into diving at such a late age,” explained Alex. “I hope this can be an inspiration to others that it is never too late to do something great.”

Big Fat Diver takes readers through the inspirational and heartwarming story of Alex Mackey as he transforms from a fat soccer dad to a competitive college diver. The book is currently available on Amazon for Kindle eBook and iBooks, where readers have access to exclusive video segments and diving fails.

Aviation Industry Stands against Zika Virus by Implementing Cutting Edge Solution from Virus-Guard



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leader in Revolutionary Infection Control for the Aviation Industry Offers New Comprehensive Solution to Guard against Harmful Germs and Viruses

ISTANBUL – Virus-Guard, a leader in revolutionary infection control for the aviation industry, announced today the launch of its new nebuliser amid heightened concerns surrounding the impact of the Zika virus. Major aviation industry leaders, including Sharjah Aviation JV of Air Arabia, Flynas and Oman Air, are leveraging the company’s technology and disinfectant products to proactively implement infection control measures and protect both passengers and personnel.

Virus-Guard’s new nebuliser facilitates even, comprehensive and reliable surface disinfection for sustained effects. The lightweight device is easy to use and produces no moisture, eliminating the need to remove sensitive objects from the treatment area. Once the device is turned on, it can effectively disinfect aircraft within 9 to 25 minutes based on the aircraft’s size. Surfaces are disinfected for up to 10 days, providing protection against Ebola, Coronavirus, MERS, Zika virus and other dangerous germs, fungi, viruses and bacteria.

The nebuliser utilizes Virus-Guard’s proprietary non-alcohol-based disinfectant solutions. The solutions have been tested for their disinfecting efficiency, long-term anti-microbial effect and bio-compatibility and certified by leading organizations, including the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology, Fresenius Institut and Bioservice Scientific Laboratories. Additionally, the solutions are approved for Airbus and Boeing aircrafts.

“Airlines have gone into defense mode, even offering free refunds or rebooking for pregnant women as concerns over the Zika virus continues to grow,” said Alex Sahni, chief executive officer of Virus-Guard. “Our goal is to provide aviation leaders who operate in the affected areas with a proactive solution to keep passengers and personnel safe. The Centers for Disease Control is recommending enhanced precautions and our solutions offer our aviation industry clients an effective course of action. Using the nebuliser demonstrates their commitment to customer safety and service not only during this health crisis, but for the long term.”

Since its launch, Virus-Guard has helped transportation companies across the globe create safe environments for its customers and employees and set new standards in in-flight safety.

RICHMAN TRADING OFFER HAND STRENGTH EXERCISE MANUAL FOR FREE

 
Richman Trading are delighted to announce that you can now download a copy of their Hand Strength Made Easy Training Manual with over 40 exercises for adults, children and gamers.  The brand continues to go from strength to strength on Amazon.com with over 50 positive reviews. 

The Manual, available from their website at http://www.Flexofist.com/exercise-manual  covers improving hand strength and mobility.

Why Do We Need to Improve our Hand Strength?

From sitting all day at your computer to gaming all evening on the Wii, our lives have been overtaken by technology.  Now, more than ever, looking after the important muscles in our hands and forearms, we can both improve our grip strength and flexibility as well as prevent those all-important injuries that would preclude us from doing our jobs or enjoying our hobbies.

Why is Grip Strength Important to Not Only Weight Lifters?

Quite apart from the myriad of things we do with our hands on a daily basis, without a good grip we are soon going to have to ask for help for the following: carrying our groceries out to the car, lifting those heavy tubs of paint at the DIY store, digging over the vegetable patch, picking up that heavy casserole in the kitchen, opening those stubborn glass jars.

With over 30 exercises for adults ranging from warm up and cool down exercises, gripping, extension, support and flexion to exercises you can incorporate into your children's daily activities and 7 exercises targeted especially at gamers who probably run the greatest risk of developing lack of hand strength over time, the Flex-O-Fist Hand Strength Made Easy Training Manual provides an invaluable source of information and requires no purchase whatsoever.  However, details of our Flex-O-Fist Silicone Hand Strengthener Exercise Rings that are designed to exercise the hands, fingers and muscles of the lower arm and biceps to both strengthen and tone them, are included in the Manual.

Ideal for use to improve grip and hand strength for household tasks, all kinds of sports including martial arts. Nice compact easy-to-use physical therapy equipment to help improve your flexibility and suppleness. Easy to pop in your pocket, use while watching TV or to keep at the office, as the squeeze action of our fitness equipment will help to reduce stress.

What’s Included in the Set?

1 Green 30lb Ring
1 Blue 40lb Ring
1 Orange 50lb Ring

How to Use Flex-O-Fist

Simply squeeze the varying resistance silicone rings. There are three major training types: crushing, pinching and extension. The extension exercise is simply an isometric pushing movement through the central hole of the ring; you cannot extend the ring at all. You can either gradually increase the resistance and difficulty of your training as your hand strength improves or alternate between the 3 rings in a single workout, giving you the benefit of interval training.

At 2.75 inches / 6.5 cm across the ring with a 1.25 inch / 3cm central hole they are sized especially for the average female hand, youngsters and those who are exercising for rehabilitation of muscles due to injuries, such as repetitive strain injury, stroke or occupational therapy. May not be suitable for men who have a large hand span.

We take pride in bringing quality products to you. If our hand strengthening rings ever rip, tear or break through normal usage, we will replace or refund your money 100% guaranteed for life.

Made from silicone and weighing in at a few ounces each, Flex-O-Fist Hand and Grip Strengthener Exercise Rings are available from our Amazon store at Buy on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0198NNCKE

Love and Compassion is My Religion: Life-Changing New “Beginners Book into Spirituality" Proves God’s Love Can Change Even the Most Tormented Souls

http://www.loveandcompassionismyreligion.com/
Deerfield, Illinois (PR Buzz) – When most young people plan what they’ll do when “all grown up”, most imagine status, power and enough money to afford them true freedom. Illinois’ Jane Zarse lived that dream but, like millions of Americans, rapidly destroyed it all through the lure and fierce grip of alcoholism.

Thankfully, Zarse is still here today to tell her story, thanks to a unique spiritual awakening that saw her accept God and His word into her life for the first time. In ‘Love and Compassion is My Religion (A Beginner's Book into Spirituality)’, Zarse tells her raw and uninhibited story in a way that will ultimately change lives.

Synopsis:

Jane Zarse was rich and privileged. From prep school to Boston University to a prime spot at the Chicago's Options Exchange trading, she'd found the recipe for success.

But wrapped up in the excess of alcoholism, she felt nothing.

Zarse shares the most personal details of her descent into alcoholism and her eventual crawl back in 'Love and Compassion is My Religion', an inspirational memoir dedicated to showing others how the power of God's love can change you. Struggling through in an alcohol-induced daze, she lost it all - including her marriage, her mother, and even more, before she finally decided to seek help.

“I can tell you now – when I was young, I didn’t just think I had it all, I knew I did,” explains Zarse. “I carried that same success into my early adult years after graduating from University. I suppose I became complacent and fell into a culture of excess, because to say I crashed down and hit rock-bottom is an understatement.”

Continuing, “The worse thing is that, when you’re caught in addiction’s vicious circle, you just can’t see a way out. But when I found God, I quickly came to realize that there was an exit door, if I was willing to embrace His love and compassion. I wasn’t a heavily spiritual person before, but now credit it with the only thing that saved me.”

Zarse believes that her memoir will change the lives of millions of readers around the world.

“There is nobody that this book can’t influence. From those caught in their own addiction cycles to those exploring their spirituality for the first time, and even people with no spiritual leanings who just want to briefly experience life from another person’s point of view. God’s love knows no boundaries and, after reading my book, every reader will understand this boldly.”

Love and Compassion is My Religion (A Beginner's Book into Spirituality)’ is due for imminent release.

About the Author:

Zarse grew up in the prestigious community of Lake Forest, Illinois. She attended Boston University before acting in New York City and trading in Chicago. After hitting bottom, she learned to love herself.
