She’s the author of a very controversial Huffington Post blog about this subject “The Sky Was Black…My Breath Was Steady” She says: “It’s time for us to accept that this outwardly healthy ‘boy next door’ co-pilot from a quaint village in Germany could be our son, our next door neighbor, our father–he could even be us.” A champion for mental health advocacy, Janine’s work focuses on celebrating the perfection in all. “Let’s use this opportunity to heal our perceptions and language around brain-based challenges.“  Janine’s site is www.flawlessfoundation.org.

A real-life political thriller about an American financier in the Wild East of Russia, the murder of his principled young tax attorney, and his dangerous mission to expose the Kremlin’s corruption. Bill Browder’s journey started on the South Side of Chicago and moved through Stanford Business School to the dog-eat-dog world of hedge fund investing in the 1990s. It continued in Moscow, where Browder made his fortune heading the largest investment fund in Russia after the Soviet Union’s collapse. But when he exposed the corrupt oligarchs who were robbing the companies in which he was investing, Vladimir Putin turned on him and, in 2005, had him expelled from Russia.  In 2007, a group of law enforcement officers raided Browder’s offices in Moscow and stole $230 million of taxes that his fund’s companies had paid to the Russian government. Browder’s attorney Sergei Magnitsky investigated the incident and uncovered a sprawling criminal enterprise. A month after Sergei testified against the officials involved, he was arrested and thrown into pre-trial detention, where he was tortured for a year. On November 16, 2009, he was led to an isolation chamber, handcuffed to a bedrail, and beaten to death by eight guards in full riot gear.  Browder glimpsed the heart of darkness, and it transformed his life: he embarked on an unrelenting quest for justice in Sergei’s name, exposing the towering cover-up that leads right up to Putin. A financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade, Red Notice is the story of one man taking on overpowering odds to change the world. - See more at: http://books.simonandschuster.com/Red-Notice/Bill-Browder/9781476755717#sthash.33OnZC9p.dpuf

The eXercise Factor will show you how to EASE into the best shape of your life, regardless of your age, weight, or current fitness level. You will learn how to put your aging accelerator into reverse and transform your life. You can increase your life expectancy and significantly improve the quality of your life by the actions you take. The secret is there is no secret! This is not about a quick fix; it is about easing your way into a long-term, sustained lifestyle. You can bypass normal aging, but first you have to address the disconnect between your wishes and your actions and change your life’s journey for good. How do you do this? Four key drivers work together synergistically to turbo-charge your success: Knowledge - you cannot solve a problem if you don’t know you have one. Nutrition - restrictive diets don’t work and are difficult to sustain in the long-term. Instead, focus on good balanced nutrition, which means more fresh whole foods you can enjoy and far less junk and processed foods. Exercise - is critical and the secret sauce to a long, high-quality life. Three of our major health problems—obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s—are underpinned by the inactivity epidemic. The X Factor - is arguably the most important of all, and the easy-to-remember acronym RECIPE provides its six key ingredients. Armed with the X Factor you will succeed! There is one thing you can’t afford not to have as a high priority in your life and that is YOU! If you follow the advice in The eXercise Factor you too can enjoy a long, high-quality life. “You don’t have to be fit and healthy to start, but you do have to start to be fit and healthy.” www.TheeXerciseFactor.com
