New Heart Disease Book, ‘Life 2.0’ by Kevin Kirksey Offers Inspiration for Better Living

DALLAS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Life 2.0: A Journey from Near Death to New Life by Kevin Kirksey shares the emotional story of Kirksey’s near-death experience, having had no prior signs, symptoms, or warnings of being in trouble, and the…

DALLAS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Life 2.0: A Journey from Near Death to New Life by Kevin Kirksey shares the emotional story of Kirksey’s near-death experience, having had no prior signs, symptoms, or warnings of being in trouble, and the lessons he learned upon his survival. Life 2.0 aims to save and extend others’ lives while providing individuals with a new perspective on life and a deeper appreciation of the little things that can profoundly change the course of one’s life.

After asking his doctor a simple question, which later proves to save Kirksey’s life, he takes a simple test which showed that he was at extremely high risk of a near term highly probable fatal cardiac event or stroke. Kevin Kirksey immediately came face to face with his mortality, accepting the reality that severe cardiac disease threatened to take his life in the immediate short term. Following open-heart surgery, due to his observations of many little things that were done for him, he began down a road of profound physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Life 2.0: A Journey from Near Death to New Life follows Kirksey’s experiences during this trying time, encouraging motivated individuals to examine their own lives as well.

Life 2.0 examines Kirksey’s journey through recovery and beyond, touching on how caregivers’ selflessness inspired him to consider living a different life, one he never imagined possible. Through this candid, heartwarming story, Life 2.0: A Journey from Near Death to New Life will serve as an inspiration for healthcare workers, patients, and their families, as well as anyone who has found themselves amid a life-changing experience. Kevin Kirksey hopes that his story will remind men and women of the virtues in life that truly make it worth living.

Praise for Kevin Kirksey and “Life 2.0 – A Journey From Near Death to New Life”

“Life 2.0 is an incredible account of one man’s stark recognition of his mortality and the beautiful path to health and the new life he experiences. Not since Steven Levine’s “A Year to Live” have I read a more moving account of how a brush with death can be a lesson to live more fully. Kevin shows us the preciousness of life that we sometimes take for granted and how to continue this amazing journey of life with a newfound faith and love for those we encounter.”

—  Michael Conley, San Francisco, California

“Life 2.0 is a call to move forward with our lives, bringing the best of our past with hope for the future and humanity. Mr. Kirksey came to his Life 2.0 through a life-altering illness and long rehabilitation. Still, he notes that all of us can access Life 2,0 by examining our hearts and asking ourselves those all-important questions regarding our purpose on Earth and what matters most. It is an important work that challenges the reader to live a richer, more meaningful life.”

—  Dr. Kimberly Townsend, Syracuse, NY

“Kevin’s story is a true inspiration and brought me to tears at points. What he’s gone through some would call luck, others would call a miracle. Regardless of what you would call it one thing is certain: it’s a pretty incredible story. When it’s all over, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be rethinking your health and planning your own v.2.0.”

Tim Bryant, Eaton Rapids, Michigan

CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Get ready to become the next trick shot superstar: Alley Hoopster – The Sick Shot Trick Shot Kit launches today on Kickstarter. The kit includes everything you need to create your own mind-bending, viral trick shots: a power-adjustable ball launcher, two angled backboards, a strap-in shot booster, a go-anywhere hoop, and jumbo ping-pong balls, all specially designed and tested for maximum bounciness and consistency.

Over the last year, a team of trick-shot scientists has been working with social media superstar TJass to develop and perfect the most epic trick shot kit possible, and now, they need your help bringing the final product to market.

For those not in the know, Tristan “TJass” Jass went viral in 2017 when he defeated his high school teacher in a game of one-on-one basketball. Since then, he has grown a massive following on social media for his incomparable trick shots and has become a respected influencer in the world of basketball.

Alley Hoopster is the brainchild of Scott Brown, Tim Swindle, and Thad Wong: a group of fun-loving entrepreneurs with a collective 50 years of bringing exciting products to life. The team and TJass have partnered with a world-class toy and game manufacturer, as well as a premier logistics company, so all the pieces are coming together—high quality and quick delivery will be no issue. But, it’s more about having fun than anything else.

“We think anybody could have a great time with this product,” Tim said from his Chicago home while sinking an impressive trick shot. “It’s a great game for kids, sure. But look at me—I’m having a blast over here.”

The funding goal is an ambitious $15,000 and will run from January 19 – February 12. The game will retail for $49 but is available to Kickstarter supporters starting at $34 plus shipping. Additional reward tiers include a copy of the game autographed by TJass himself, a chance to have your own trick shots featured on his social media channels, and a personal video call with TJass for you and your friends.

For more information, visit their Kickstarter page, where you can find videos of TJass working his magic using the trick shot kit, as well as information on the design process.

DETROIT, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — On February 11, 2021, reference publisher Omnigraphics will release its new diversity title, the resource guide Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America, edited by Jamie Maniloff.

Designed to serve as a resource guide, expanding upon, and increasing access to diversity content in libraries, schools, and in the workplace, Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America covers the history, social movements and progression of systemic discrimination and racism in America, while providing important information directly addressing these issues today.

“As a resource guide it is easy to navigate, with key links to organizations, local and national support groups, and government agencies to help readers identify, report, and manage discrimination,” says editor Jamie Maniloff.

“It is a must-have resource for any library,” says Shauntee Burns-Simpson, President, Black Caucus of the American Library Association. “In order to move forward from the ugly effects of racism, we as a society have to look back, see how we got here, and purposely make changes to move forward. This book uncovers the constraints that People of Color experience and provides information to support the ongoing change needed in our country.”

Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America explores the psychology behind discrimination and its impact on physical, mental, psychological, and social wellbeing. The book covers how presidential administrations throughout U.S. history, from Abraham Lincoln to Donald Trump, have affected racism, and how significant historical events and empowerment movements like the Civil Rights Act, Women’s Suffrage, the surge of Islamophobia after the 911 terrorist attacks, Black Lives Matter (BLM), Me Too (#metoo), and more, have brought us to where we are today.

Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America is an incisive exploration of strategies to combat and conquer discrimination,” says Kelvin Watson, Director of Broward County Libraries. “It is the right book, at the right time.”

Cayman Kelly Shares His Top Five Tips for Working Toward Your Dream in 2021

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Author and radio personality Cayman Kelly recently outlined his top tips for planning and achieving personal goals, to help his fans usher in a beneficially transformative New Year. Author of the #1 Bestselling Amazon memoir, “<a target="_blank"…

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Author and radio personality Cayman Kelly recently outlined his top tips for planning and achieving personal goals, to help his fans usher in a beneficially transformative New Year. Author of the #1 Bestselling Amazon memoir, “From $6 an Hour to a Million Dollar Dream,” Cayman has long served as a role model who helps people understand that they have the power to change their lives and achieve a brighter future. With humble beginnings as a minimum-wage worker with big aspirations – later leveraging his talent and million-dollar voice to achieve success – Cayman’s own journey is a testament that he lives what he preaches.

When asked about the potential for 2021, Cayman remarked: “If any year is ready for a series of upshifts and positive changes, it would be 2021. We’ve all been through so much this past year, with the pandemic just making everything more difficult for folks. But now is a good time to take a long, hard look at your life, see what changes you want to make, and begin to shift events in your daily routine to move closer to where you want to be. Positive goals take positive action. And every journey toward something better starts with a few simple steps.”

Cayman Kelly’s Top Five Tips for Working Toward Your Dream

  1. Set goals, take positive action, and begin building a network of support.
  2. Deal with the haters and naysayers in your life.
  3. Properly define and understand success, while you learn from failure.
  4. Keep yourself sharp, while avoiding stagnation and burnout.
  5. Stay true to your own unique gifts and purpose.

“Good parents always tell their kids that they should follow their dreams, that they can achieve anything they want in this life,” Cayman said. “But how do we expect our kids to actually do that if we aren’t modeling that same behavior ourselves? If we stay stuck in a job we hate, or in a relationship that is toxic, or if we completely give up, we teach our kids to do the same. The first move to living a better life has to start with action, while also removing negative influences in your life.”

“Relationships are a big key to getting to a positive place in your life – a place where you can begin to launch actionable plans for a happier future. Skills are important too. My skills were crucial to helping me get to where I am. But it was keeping a good attitude, and fostering genuine relationships with important, trustworthy people that ultimately helped me open a lot of doors.”

Old Stone Press Announces the Release of “Ghosts of the Past” by Mark Downer

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Avid military historian, Mark Downer pens his first novel that will be released for sale and distribution February 2, 2021.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Avid military historian, Mark Downer pens his first novel that will be released for sale and distribution February 2, 2021. 

An action-packed World War II historical fiction thriller that takes the reader around the world and a peek into the underworld of international art dealing.

In the spring of 1945, on the eve of the Allied victory in war-torn Europe, an unmarked German transport plane crash lands deep in the rugged Swiss Alps, and with it is buried one of the greatest single collections of World War II stolen artwork never recovered. 

Lying undisturbed in its rocky tomb for over half a century, a family member’s deathbed disclosure and war memorabilia hold the key to the existence and dormant location of this incredible treasure. 

Subsequently, one man’s quest to locate the crash site is unwittingly exposed, and the race to recover the find of a lifetime becomes a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that weaves together an eclectic cast of characters in an international web of intrigue, murder, mystery, and surprise.

Author Bio
Blessed…and cursed with the creative gene, Mark Downer has always found writing to come naturally, a trait inherited from his father, who he touts as a truly remarkable wordsmith.  Having always felt the urge to write and attempt to produce commercially successful prose, the dictates of another career path and raising a family of three children derailed any thoughts of his noble ambition.

Children grown and ownership of a successful and self-sustaining business make that predilection a reality today.  With a life full of study and interest in history, particularly the military variety, and a reading library full of some of fictions greatest novelists, it only made sense that he pursue his passion drawing upon those inherent experiences, attended by a personal conviction that good always triumphs over evil.

Ghosts of the Past is his first endeavor, created over several years of being drawn back into his creative awakening.  It has been the catalyst for his second novel, Setareh Doctrine, which is the first book in the Themis Cooperative thriller series due to be released in early summer of 2021.  Look for Caracas Connection to follow in early 2022.

DUBLIN, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The “Cosmetic Packaging – Global Market Outlook (2019-2027)” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

Global Cosmetic Packaging market accounted for $52.51 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $85.61 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period.

Role of cosmetic packaging in the marketing of cosmetic products and rising penetration of cosmetics in the developing economies are the major factors propelling market growth. However, Fluctuating raw material prices are hampering market growth.

Cosmetic Packaging is mainly used to increase the appearance of the product and intended to improve brand perception for triggering impulsive buying in the general population. In many cases, packaging can influence consumer purchasing choices and increase the sale of the product. Packaging has a huge application in preserving the brand image and quality of the products.

Based on the material, the Plastics segment is estimated to have lucrative growth due to its low cost, lightweight, flexibility, durability, and other factors. Plastics are a material of choice for manufacturing shatterproof and “no-spill” bottles, jars, tubes, caps, and closures for personal care products. Furthermore, the most common type of plastic used for cosmetic containers is PP plastics.

By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. An increase in demand for cosmetic products in emerging economies, as well as a boost in consumer awareness drives the investments of manufacturers to develop unique & innovative packaging solutions. This, in turn, increases the demand for cosmetic products, and is further expected to boost the demand for packaging in this region.
