Antonio Donnarumma Upholds the Family name for AC Milan after Brother's Injury
AC Milan might not be too worried about losing star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnaruma – as they have another Donnaruma who is nifty with his gloves waiting in the wings.
The Rossoneri's first choice was absent for Wednesday's Copa Italia derby against Inter through injury.
Marco Storari was called up to deputize, but also fell victim to physical troubles. leaving coach Gennaro Gattuso with a dilemma between the posts.
Enter Antonio Donnarumma, brother of the teenage sensation, making his debut appearance for the Serie A giants almost a decade after he first sat on the bench as an unused substitute.
The 27-year-old performed heroically to keep out the likes of Mauro Icardi and Antonio Candreva for 120 minutes at San Siro.
The game was eventually decided by another teenager, Patrick Cutrone, who struck in extra time to decide the 1-0 tie.
All the plaudits, however, went to the older Donnarumma for his surprising turn between the posts.

Legal officer changes proposed
The Government has proposed to amend the law to allow legal officers of the Department of Justice to be appointed as a senior counsel. At a media session after attending a Legislative Council meeting today, Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng explained the rationale behind the Government's proposal. She said: "Why is it that my colleagues in the Department of Justice - who by their qualifications are solicitors but are actually arguing very well and very efficiently with great eloquence and efficacy in the Court of Final Appeal - are not being recognised when they are actually even better than their counterparts? That has always been something that sometimes troubles me. "And for that reason, I have always been thinking about how we are going to overcome that problem. "Now, what really triggers my determination to take this further forward is when one of our Deputy Directors of Public Prosecutions, Vinci Lam, took silk on May 29. "That really showed that the form

Q: How to count number of months of row in Oracle Im using ORACLE TO check condition in 'DATE_PERIOS' with current time and last time
my ORD0011 table:
-------------------------------------------------------------
ORDER_ID  |     BS_NO   |    DATE_PERIOS   |    STATUS
-------------------------------------------------------------
 3000003       HS00001       4-2021           COMPLETE
 3000003       HS00183       5-2021           COMPLETE
 3000003       HS00776       10-2021          FALSE
 3000003       HS00559       11-2021          COMPLETE
 3000003       HS00221       12-2021          ACTIVE
 3000003       HS00222       1-2022           COMPLETE
--------------------------------------------------------------

when i select 'ORDER_ID' = 3000003, it will output with data following as:
------------------------------
ORDER_ID    |   HS_TIME
------------------------------
3000003           4
------------------------------

this is my recipe:
If i select DATE_PERIOS is: 1/2022, it will display HS_TIME is 4 (3 times COMPLETE before: 4-2021, 5-2021, 11-2021 + 1)
If i select DATE_PERIOS is: 11/2021, it will display HS_TIME is 3 (2 times COMPLETE before: 4-2021, 5-2021 + 1)
Note: only + 1 when status is COMPLETE
How to count number of Month with condition to output result as above ? Thanks a lot

A: You can use the below query having case statement to handle the status = 'COMPLETE' -
SELECT CASE WHEN COUNT(CASE WHEN status = 'COMPLETE' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) > 0 THEN
                 COUNT(CASE WHEN status = 'COMPLETE' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) + 1
            ELSE NULL
       END HS_TIME
  FROM tb
 WHERE TO_DATE(DATE_PERIOS, 'MM-YYYY') < TO_DATE('01-2020', 'MM-YYYY');

Demo.

A: One option is to conditionally (that's the CASE expression) add 1 (that's the SUM function) if status is COMPLETE.
WHERE clause requires TO_DATE with appropriate date format. Otherwise, you'd be comparing strings which would lead to wrong result; might be OK if date_perios was stored in YYYYMM format; on the other hand, perhaps you'd want to consider storing date values into the DATE datatype column.
Sample data
SQL> with ord0011 (order_id, date_perios, status) as
  2    (select 303, '4-2021' , 'COMPLETE' from dual union all
  3     select 303, '5-2021' , 'COMPLETE' from dual union all
  4     select 303, '10-2021', 'FALSE'    from dual union all
  5     select 303, '11-2021', 'COMPLETE' from dual union all
  6     select 303, '12-2021', 'ACTIVE'   from dual union all
  7     select 303, '1-2022' , 'COMPLETE' from dual
  8    )

Query itself
  9  select order_id,
 10         sum(case when status = 'COMPLETE' then 1 else 0 end) hs_time
 11  from ord0011
 12  where to_date(date_perios, 'mm-yyyy') <= to_date('&par_date', 'mm-yyyy')
 13  group by order_id;
Enter value for par_date: 1-2022

  ORDER_ID    HS_TIME
---------- ----------
       303          4

SQL> /
Enter value for par_date: 11-2021

  ORDER_ID    HS_TIME
---------- ----------
       303          3

SQL>

A: with cte as(
   select *,row_number()over(partition by ORDER_ID order by ORDER_ID) as seq
   from tb
),
cte2 as(
select *,
       case
         when DATE_PERIOS = '1-2022'
           then (select count(*) + 1 from cte t2 where t1.seq > t2.seq and t2.STATUS = 'COMPLETE')
         else 0 end as HS_TIME_1_2022,
        case
         when DATE_PERIOS = '11-2021'
           then (select count(*) + 1 from cte t2 where t1.seq > t2.seq and t2.STATUS = 'COMPLETE')
         else 0 end as HS_TIME_11_2022
from cte t1)
select ORDER_ID,max(HS_TIME_1_2022)HS_TIME_1_2022,max(HS_TIME_11_2022)HS_TIME_11_2022
from cte2
group by ORDER_ID

The following output is taken in sql-server but can also be run in Oracle.

Huh. Of course. Well, I used to be made of artesian spring water filtered through slate and shale in the Appalachian mountains. Now, maybe this is why I feel out of sorts. It's not geography. It's being made of something new and maybe not consciously integrating it.
I am made of trees, too. Although not so much molecularly. Tree thought forms permeate. Thankfully, even the shallow-rooted, fast reproducing, weedy trees of Florida project a solid sense of responsibility for shaping reality.
I am laughing and crying at same time. I found you through a long line of canal locks. I paddled the entire length of the Susquehanna several years back. Sometimes all that is needed is a wicked smile and soft nod.
Cuyahoga River circa 1969 (mostly).
But I've moved on since.
The Great South Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in its more northern, steel grey, salty ways. Lately, the Long Island Sound and the many creeks and rivers of Long Island are part of me, too. But, always, they each take from, or give themselves to, that deep, mystery-filled, mystical, heaving, soothing all, known as the Atlantic.
I am made of Lake Michigan water. I was raised on the Pacific Ocean. I have done a decade of Olentangy and Scioto rivers. And another decade of the Great Miami river. Now I am strictly Ohio river.
Oh, I'm made from water from way across the Pond… Old Father Thames, downstream of London (England, that is) where the water becomes salt.
I'm now far away from there, but continue to feel its pulse, because I'm still connected to the great ocean that links all rivers.
Beautiful! Thank you. Aboriginal [indigenous] Australians are led by our Dreaming Laws for 65K+ years: we are part of all and all is sacred. We are brought forth from sacred Mother & her waters – to maintain the tri-balance t'ween heaven-spirit, mother-earth & ourselves; the arrogant language creatures.
More Anacostia than Potomac and now Columbia river is my home.
The waters of the Potomac nearly lapped at my doorstep from the time of my birth until early adulthood. I met my husband near those banks. Since July of this year, his ashes have floated at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah, in Harper's Ferry, ensuring that he — and at least a part of me and our children — will always be there.
Good video! My first 24 years were in 1950s and 1960s Southern California, so a lot of sources, and probably contaminated. But since 1976 I've lived in the most northwestern corner of California. When I wasn't on a well, my water came from the Smith River, one of the cleanest rivers in the U.S. I've actually visited the pumping site, and the treatment plant (which empties into the Pacific Ocean). Am sure there are still contaminants of some sort, but I know I'm lucky. I'm mostly made of the Smith River and rain.
I'm made of the clear, cold snowmelt, the red dirt mountains, and the high desert Aspens of the beautiful Beehive State, though I now live in the last remaining Blackland Prairies of the Lone Star State.

Argujillo es un municipio y villa española de la provincia de Zamora, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. Cuenta con una población de . Se encuentra en el sureste provincial, dentro de la comarca tradicional de La Guareña. Su población se dedica principalmente a la agricultura, la ganadería y al sector servicios en la ciudad de Zamora.

Toponimia

El nombre de Argujillo procede de un nombre latino tardío o vulgar que sería Arbuscellum y significaría en diminutivo un sitio con árboles o arboleda, cosa que cuadra muy bien al ocupado por el pueblo y sus alrededores. Como los nombres cambian a través del tiempo, Arbuscellum pasaría luego a Arbuxiello y éste a Arbuxillo, Arbujillo y finalmente a Argujillo.

Historia

Edad Antigua

En los primeros siglos de la era cristiana aparecen los primeros asentamientos o viviendas donde ahora se encuentra el pueblo. Lugares próximos al valle regado por el arroyo Talanda. Se descubrieron sepulturas de piedra o de piedras con huesos convertidos casi en polvo las cuales por sus formas podían pertenecer a la dominación romana en el camino de las bodegas llamadas de Portugal. En el Teso de la Horca de hallaron también piedras sepulcrales, el sepulcro antropomorfo o con hueco para la cabeza y de piedra de granito en la loma del Hocillo, otro sepulcro de la misma piedra y forma pero con tapa a dos aguas, mejor conservado y con esqueleto dentro fue descubierto detrás de la iglesia.

Edad Media

En la Edad Media, Argujillo fue repoblado por los reyes leoneses dentro de los procesos repobladores que llevaron a cabo en la zona, de cara a asegurar sus posiciones en el proceso de la Reconquista. Asimismo, el 29 de abril de 1211, el rey Alfonso IX de León donó Argujillo a la Orden del Temple: "Do etiam eis Aruoyxelo cum omnibus suis directuris et pertenenciis", que quedó integrado dentro de la encomienda templaria de Zamora.

Edad Moderna

En el , se recoge el reconocimiento de Argujillo como villa el 19 de julio de 1558. De este hecho se hizo eco la obra titulada "La Provincia de Zamora" en su tomo III (pág. 263):

Por otro lado, el primer libro de Bautizos de la parroquia recoge la Memoria de la Venta de la Villa, describiéndolo de este modo:

Asimismo, en la "Historia General Civil y Eclesiástica de la Provincia de Zamora", figura la noticia de que durante la Guerra de la Independencia Argujillo contempló saqueado su Pósito, y como Castrillo de la Guareña fue incendiado.

Con la creación de las actuales provincias en la división provincial de 1833, Argujillo quedó encuadrado en la provincia de Zamora, dentro de la Región Leonesa, la cual, como todas las regiones españolas de la época, carecía de competencias administrativas. Tras la constitución de 1978, este municipio pasó a formar parte en 1983 de la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León, junto con el resto de municipios de la provincia de Zamora.

Iglesia parroquial

Es el único edificio religioso de la villa y de una sola nave, abovedada toda ella. Es una de las más capaces del Obispado. Su fábrica es de sillería y bonita y esbelta su torre de 32 metros de altura, cuadrada y con remate en forma de medio limón. Tiene una escalera de caracol de 70 peldaños y en sus cuatro huecos 4 campanas de más de 500 kg las dos mayores y de 70 a 100 las pequeñas o esquilas. Las campanas se fundieron el año 1925 en Salamanca.

La fábrica de la Iglesia es de fines del , menos la parte de abajo o cercana a la torre que como esta son de fecha posterior. La torre tiene una inscripción grabada bajo la cornisa que dice que se acabó de construir en el año de 1819. También tiene la torre desde 1956 un reloj regalado por el buen argujillano Eustaquio Macías Miguel.

En la iglesia hay dos imágenes muy anteriores a su edificación, como la del Santo Cristo de la Oliva, que parece bizantino. Los altares de la iglesia con sus correspondientes retablos eran cinco. El mayor o de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora, el del Rosario, el del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, el de la Inmaculada y el del Santo Cristo de la Oliva.

Existieron tres ermitas en el pueblo: la de Santa Marina, en el camino de la Pedrera, la de San Telmo en el camino de Valdegomín, y la principal, la del Santo Cristo del Humilladero, junto al pozo llamado de la Ermita, de la cual se conserva aún la efigie y el retablo.

Todas ellas sirvieron como cantera para construir la iglesia parroquial.

Casa consistoral

Está en la plaza Mayor. Debió de ser edificada alrededor del otoño de 1885.
La fachada es de sillería. Fue restaurado completamente a principios de los años 90.

Tiene dos pisos con luces y balconaje en la fachada donde está la puerta principal y ahora única. Antes tuvo otra por la carretera. En ella se encuentra el Juzgado de Paz y la Secretaría del Ayuntamiento.

Frontón

Entre la Clínica Farmacéutica y el puente se halla el soberbio frotón, inaugurado en 15 de agosto de 1959. Es de ladrillo y cemento en su mayor parte y fue construido por el Ayuntamiento con la Hermandad de Labradores en el extremo superior del prado del Soto y tocando con el arroyo.

Todos los años, sobre todo en la festividad de San Isidro, se celebran en él grandes partidos de pelota con carteles de jugadores destacables a nivel nacional. En él se han forjado grandes jugadores de la cantera argujillana, entre los más grandes Luis Sánchez "Luisito" (que en paz descanse) y José Luis Alonso.

Salón del Baile

Lo mandó construir el Ayuntamiento hacia 1949. Está situado a la izquierda de la carretera de Zamora y junto a la fuente pública y el parque, que fue construido en los años 80.

En el piso superior al cual se accede por una ancha escalera exterior, se encontraban las antiguas escuelas de los niños, a las cuales acudimos algunos, ya hace algunos años, ahora se encuentra la Asociación de Personas Mayores.

El piso bajo es un amplio salón de gran capacidad que se suele utilizar en las fiestas de La Pega (9-10 de febrero) además de la fiesta de San Isidro y otras ocasiones.

Fiestas

Las más importantes el 9 de febrero La Pega y 13, 14 y 15 de agosto nuestra señora. Una de las costumbres típicas es la de poner el mayo el 30 de abril.

Why become a Chaplain?
Many Chaplains agree that being a School Chaplain is one of the most rewarding jobs available.
NSW has a growing numbers of state schools who recognise the value of the myChaplain program and are seeking to secure a trained support worker in their school to care for their students and wider school community.
Our Chaplains talk about their role…
'School Chaplaincy is an amazing opportunity and responsibility, to help today's generation, and offer a message of hope, in the classroom, playground and staff room'
'I have always wanted to be a School Chaplain. It provides an opportunity to serve an entire school community in my local town where I can truly make a positive difference'
'Chaplaincy is incredibly rewarding in every area; community, school culture, the young people's lives and personally'
'I see school chaplaincy as a strategic role given by God where His people can minister into students' lives to sow the seeds of His love and make a real difference, not only in their immediate lives but in the future'
'Chaplaincy offers a great opportunity to reach into the hearts and minds of students and their parents'

Dr. Drew: Bubonic plague is likely already in Los Angeles
Dr. Eowyn June 4, 2019
Dr Eowyn's post first appeared at Fellowship of the Minds
The filthy conditions of Democrat-run U.S. cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are so alarming that even the New York Times' opinion columnist has acknowledged that fact in a May 22 op/ed, "America's Cities Are Unlivable. Blame Wealthy Liberals".
On May 23, the Calcutta-like conditions of Los Angeles — California's biggest city and the second largest U.S. city in population, numbering 4 million — prompted famous TV addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky to predict a major infectious disease epidemic this summer.
See "New York Times admits Democrat-run cities are unlivable. Dr. Drew predicts major epidemic in filthy Los Angeles this summer"
A week later, after news that an L.A. police officer had contracted typhoid fever, a rare and life-threatening illness that fewer than 350 Americans contract each year, Dr. Drew repeated his prediction, saying that he believes bubonic plague — a pandemic that killed tens of millions of people during the 14th century – "likely" is already present in Los Angeles.
Last Thursday night, May 30, 2019, on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle," Dr. Drew said:
"We have a complete breakdown of the basic needs of civilization in Los Angeles right now.
We have the three prongs of airborne disease, tuberculosis is exploding, (and) rodent-borne. We are one of the only cities in the country that doesn't have a rodent control program, and sanitation has broken down. We have a typhus outbreak last summer; we'll have a typhus outbreak this summer. I'm hearing from experts that bubonic plague is likely already here…. And finally, we have this fecal-group contamination, which is typhoid fever — three cases, one confirmed, probably three.
This is unbelievable! I can't believe I live in a city where this is not Third World. This is medieval. Third World countries are insulted if they are accused of being like this. No city on Earth tolerates this. The entire population is at risk. And God forbid…if measles gets in, I just have an image of myself on my knees in the gutter attending to people. This summer is likely to be a very profound problem….

Two of the nation's most prominent voices against gerrymandering will share the stage for the first time on March 26 immediately following oral arguments in two anti-gerrymandering cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General, and Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will discuss why they believe redistricting reform is crucial to the future of our democracy at a National Press Club Headliners event on March 26 at 12:30 p.m.
This bipartisan dialogue comes as the Court considers whether the Republican gerrymandering in Rucho v. Common Cause and the Democratic gerrymandering in Lamone v. Benisek are unconstitutional. A decision by the court could accelerate the state-by-state movement to draw fair maps in the 2021 redistricting process.
This event will take place in the Club's Holeman Lounge, and is open to credentialed media and members of the National Press Club, however registration is required.

The new and improved First Endurance Optygen HP formula, now available in its most potent form yet. It contains Rhodiola that's twice as strong as the original formula. Optygen HP also contains Beta-Alanine because clinical research has shown it increases exercise capacity and muscular strength. The two main adaptogens in OptygenHP (Rhodiola and Cordyceps CS-4) were first used by Tibetan Sherpas to help them climb Mt. Everest. Optygen HP utilizes these two unique adaptogens because clinical research on elite endurance athletes has shown them to improve performance, increase the body's ability to adapt to high levels of physical stress, increase aerobic threshold and reduce lactic acid.
Q: How will OPTYGEN help me race better?
A: OPTYGEN will dramatically improve your training and y. OPTYGEN is designed to help you through your most intense training and racing. The OPTYGEN formulation is based on the latest human clinical research. The research has shown the following endurance benefits.
Q: How long will it take before I start noticing the benefits?
A: You should start experiencing the benefits of OPTYGEN approximately six (6) days after you start taking OPTYGEN.
Q: When should I take OPTYGEN?
A: It is best to take Optygen in the morning with a meal.
A: OPTYGEN has a 7-day loading phase. Because of this, the first bottle will last 23 days. After the loading phase has been done, each bottle is a 30-day supply.
OPTYGEN contains NO ingredients, which are explicitly listed under the banned substance list, nor are any of the ingredients related chemically or pharmacologically. First Endurance has also contacted the USADA and received verbal confirmation that our ingredients are not banned based on their regulations. Note: USADA, WADA and UCI do not offer any certification or written confirmation.
A: A Certificate of Analysis (C of A) is a document which states every active and inactive substance used to manufacture a product. A C of A also shows that there are no additional ingredients added to the OPTYGEN formulation. In order to assure the safety and efficacy of OPTYGEN, First Endurance provides a C of A with every bottle of Optygen.
Q: Will OPTYGEN help me faster?
A: Yes, it will help you . Because OPTYGEN will help you adapt during times of maximum stress, it also aids in y.
A: OPTYGEN is packaged in an amber glass bottle. Unlike plastic bottles, amber glass is an impermeable barrier that protects the product from harmful UV light and oxygen degradation.
Q: Why does OPTYGEN have Cordyceps and Rhodiola Rosea?
A: OPTYGEN utilizes two adaptagens that are the primary ingredients in the formulation. Patented Rhodiola Rosea and Cordyceps are both found and cultivated in Tibet. Both these herbs play critical roles in allowing the body to adapt to high levels of physical stress (similar to the stress a body is subject to when climbing Everest). It's these adaptations to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) which led researchers to also test its effects on elite endurance athletes. Both Rhodiola and Cordyceps have been clinically shown to increase VO2Max, lung function, oxygen utilization and anaerobic threshold significantly.
Q: How should I use Optygen?
A: For best results, use Optygen during all intense training. Optygen will allow you to train at a higher level by improving the body's ability to adapt to physical stress, increasing aerobic threshold and reducing lactic acid. THese improvements will help you race at a higher level. For best results, Optygen should be used consistently for many months. If you start taking Optygen a week before a race, benefits will be minimal.
Q: Is it OK to use Optygen everyday even though it has phosphates in the formula?
Optygen's ATPro matrix is designed to assure Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) production. All the ingredients in the ATPro matrix play critical roles in ATP formation, including Sodium and Potassium Phosphate. The phosphate levels used in Optygen on their own are not enough to elicit an ergogenic response, nor are they enough to affect PH balance or Calcium absorption.
Q: Do the adaptogen's Rhodiola and Cordyceps in Optygen cause hypertension or cramping?
A: Absolutely not. The First Endurance research staff has done a thorough review of all the peer reviewed clinical studies and confirms that there is no evidence of hypertension or cramping. On the contrary, by definition adaptogen's allow the body to adapt to many physiological functions, including hypertension. In Supplementwatch.com's comprehensive review of the literature Optygen scored a 20 out of 20 on safety, again finding no evidence that this occurs.
Introduction de la formule First Endurance OptygenHP nouvelle et améliorée, maintenant disponible dans sa forme la plus efficace. Elle contient du Rhodiola qui est deux fois plus fort que la formule originale. OptygenHP contient aussi de la Beta-Alanine parce qu'une recherche clinique a démontrée qu'elle augmente les capacité d'entraînement et la force musculaire. Les deux principaux adaptogènes dans OptygenHP (Rhodiola et Cordyceps CS-4) ont d'abord été utilisé par les Sherpas Tibétains pour les aider à gravir le Mont Everest. OptygenHP utilise deux adaptogènes uniques parce que l'étude clinique des athlètes élites d'endurance a démontrée pourvoir augmenter la performance, augmenter l'habileté du corps à s'adapter à des hauts niveaux physiques de stress, augmenter le seuil anaérobique et réduire l'acide lactique.
200mcg chromium (acides aminés chélates Chelavite), 300mg Extrait de rhodiolae (rhodiola rosea)(racine) minimum 10% de rosavins, 1000mg cordyceps CS-4 (cordyceps sinensis) (mycelia biomass) minimum 7% acide cordycepic, 100mg beta-alanine, 800mg matrice ATProTM (calcium pyruvate, phosphate de sodium, phosphate de potassium, ribose, adénosine).

2016 Ford Figo Price In UAE - The subminimized Figo is Fords littlest offering in the GCC. Expected to be a less expensive motoring choice than even the Fiesta the Figo is inherent India taking into account an abbreviated more seasoned era Fiesta and comes in 5entryway hatchback structure. It accompanies a decision of 1.4liter 4chamber with a manual gearbox and 1.6liter 4barrel with a programmed. All autos get free Mac Pherson strut front suspension and a semi autonomous back turn bar. The Figo is accessible in Ambiente and Trend trims both getting material upholstered insides with components that incorporate manual windows power mirrors 2 speaker CD/MP3 stereo with USB/AUX ports power controlling foldlevel secondcolumn seating discontinuous wipers double front airbags delicate touch dashboard and a guaranteed bestinclass manual a/c. Likewise accessible on the higher model are 14 inch amalgam wheels keyless passage haze lights ABS brakes front force windows and tallness customizable drivers seat.
At that point they presented the Figo an auto that turned into a runaway hit and turned the American carmakers fortunes in India. As the Figo went ahead to end up a standout amongst the most prevalent decisions in the B section Ford built up itself as a solid player in the furiously battled little auto market.
Hot on the heels of the accomplishment of the Figo Aspire reduced car Ford has propelled the allnew Figo hatchback with significant changes over the past model. We should figure out what makes an effectively solid item much all the more convincing.
Styling wasnt the clench hand era Figos solid suit yet in its second symbol the auto is a flat out head turner. Seen in advance its anything but difficult to mix up the Figo for the Aspire in light of the fact that theres nothing not quite the same as the car until the B column. The vast grille with slender chrome bars gives the Figo the same character as its senior kin the Fiesta. The cleared back polygonal headlamp and the hat swell add to its engaging quality when seen from front seventy five percent. The roofline streams easily in a tender bend and theres a back spoiler to add to the lively request. The back as well is neatly styled with wraparound taillights forcefully raked back windshield and a solid line on the rear end.
Venture inside and the entryways close with a consoling thud and the general demeanor of strength inspires. As opposed to the Aspires double tone insides the Figo gets an alldark completion inside. The dashboard design is well known yet the atmosphere control console looks more upmarket with rotational controls completed in chrome. Frosty blue readouts on the instrument group and focus console are relieving to eyes. There are numerous cubbyholes and grouped capacity ranges to keep your stuff in the lodge.
The seats are agreeable and space in the back lodge has impressively enhanced over the past era. The front seatbacks are very much scooped out to give great legroom to the back inhabitants. One of the real protests about the old Figo the windows that dont move down completely has been tended to as well. 257liters of boot space is noteworthy for a hatchback of this size. The main grouse is the nonmovable back headrests that are not by any means valuable for tall travelers.
Top Titanium + trim is furnished with SYNC with Ford AppLink an element that keeps drivers securely associated while driving. AppLink matches up with your cell phone and controls the applications with voice summons. From finding a closeby eatery to reserving a spot or staying side by side with cricketing activity AppLink flawlessly reacts to your voice charges even in Indian intonation.
The Figo acquires its motors from the Figo Aspire a 1.2liter petrol a 1.5liter diesel and a 1.5liter petrol that may be accessible with a 6speed double grip programmed transmission. The 1.5liter diesel motor makes 100PS and 215Nm and its in reality a delight to drive the diesel with incredible lowend responsiveness and astonishing midreach. Turbo slack is scarcely discernible and you can drive around the city without having to downshift once in a while. It pulls perfectly from around 1700rpm and continues going the distance to the redline.
In spite of the splendid execution the diesel motor figures out how to give back the best in class mileage of 25.83 km/l (according to ARAI figures). Amid the test drive crosswise over Delhi movement and Yamuna Expressway the auto showed a normal of 21.7kmpl. The ARAI figures for the petrol models are 18.16 km/l (1.2L) and 17 km/l (1.5L).
The Figo has struck gold in offering so as to wellbeing division six airbags in the top variation and a driver side airbag as standard over all variations. Passage has likewise furnished the Figo with ABS footing control solidness control and slope hold help with the programmed transmission variation.
As it were it was the valuing that made the Figo a raving success. Portage has figured out how to rehash the history with the allnew Figo. With costs beginning from AED 41000 - 46000 the new Figo offers incredible worth for cash contrasted with different hatchbacks. The new Figo is a flawless bundle for cutting edge family and fans alike and you must be a significant skeptic to discover shortcomings with this auto. Most likely the new Figo is going to demonstrate a commendable successor to the first one and give the opposition a keep running for their cash.

Golf Putting: Equivalent Performance with Ball Focused and Target Focused Aiming
David Moffat ,	Howie J. Carson ,	Dave Collins
This study addressed several inconsistencies and omissions in golf putting research by testing the performance impact of target focused aiming. Participants were 22 high-level and experienced golfers, currently using ball focused aiming. Participants were allocated in a quasi-random fashion to ball or target focused aiming conditions and each performed 32 putts under competitive conditions on a natural putting green from a distance of 8 ft. Data were recorded as putts holed or missed and further categorised into putts missed long, short, left, right, short left, short right, long left and long right. There was no significant difference between conditions (p > 0.05) for any of the categories tested, despite participants' prior extreme familiarity and expressed preference for the ball focused technique. These results notwithstanding, we discuss possible explanations for target focused benefits, including the role of vision during putting, the impact of intention during execution and possible expectancy effects. While these findings hold potential implications for golf coaching, more research is clearly required to further understand causative mechanisms and to clarify the existence and nature of advantage for one technique over the other. Based on this study, we recommend that high-level and experienced golfers might try target focused aiming as a 'cost-free' experiment.

Tag: Tarek El Aissami
Venezuela continues its descent toward the ninth circle of socialist hell
Protesters in Caracas
In the wake of the March 29 dissolution of Venezuela's National Assembly, an act that was widely condemned as a coup by President Nicolás Maduro, the economy of that poor, socialism-ravaged country has continued to circle the drain even as opponents of Maduro have taken to the streets day by day to demand their nation back, shouting "No more dictatorship!" Hundreds of thousands of protesters have filled the streets of Caracas and other cities; on Wednesday of last week, which saw the country's largest protests in years, over 300 protesters were arrested, and pro-Maduro cops, gangsters, and soldiers have caused several deaths. (As of last Friday, the number of fatalities had risen to at least twenty.) Increasing, the capital has resembled a battle zone, with protesters setting up "burning barricades in several neighborhoods" and the military patrolling the night streets in "light-armored vehicles."
Nicolas Maduro
Maduro himself, who has rejected the idea that the dissolution of the legislature constituted a coup, has said that, on the contrary, the protests against him – which in any free country, of course, would be protected by the right of assembly – amounted to a coup attempt. Vice President Tarek El Aissami has called Maduro's opponents "terrorist leaders" and accused their followers of "fascist violence." Another recent Maduro move was barring Henrique Capriles, the top opposition leader, whom Maduro has called "trash," from running for public office.
Henrique Capriles
Late last week, engineering student David Marval, one of the protesters in Caracas, told Bloomberg News: "Everyone is asking what the plan is….For me, you have to paralyze the entire city." Informed observers ventured that "Maduro's grip on power is weakening." At a press conference, opposition legislator Freddy Guevara said: "Twenty days of resistance and we feel newly born." Raquel Belfort told Time Magazine: "This is the moment….People are sick of this….we've touched rock bottom. I think if we take to the streets every day we'll end this government."
Yet in an April 21 article for The Week, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry suggested that an end to Maduro's tyranny is not yet in sight. Venezuela, Gobry lamented, "cannot wake up from its socialist nightmare." Maduro, he maintained "increasingly looks like a 'Bolivarian' version of Vladimir Putin, holding power through corrupt patronage, fear, and the smothering of alternative voices and power centers."
Father of the revolution: Hugo Chavez
Gobry served up a welter of chilling statistics about Venezuela's "rotting" economy: "The economy shrank by 18 percent last year, with unemployment at 25 percent, and inflation slated to be 750 percent this year and 2,000 percent the next." The very real human toll of this socialist disaster is reflected in the fact that during the past year, "74 percent of Venezuelans lost an average of nearly 20 pounds each." Also, "children are suffering from malnourishment for the first time in the country's modern history" and "hospitals are running out of even basic drugs." On April 20, the Wall Street Journal reported that many Venezuelans are, quite simply, too hungry to join in the protests.
Among the recent casualties of the economic free-fall was an announcement on that same date that General Motors, in reaction to a government seizure of one of its factories, was withdrawing entirely from the country, where it has thousands of employees. Oh, and let's not forget that Caracas is now "the murder capital of the world." All this in a country with extraordinary human and natural resources that was once, hard as it may now be to believe, on the verge of having a First World economy.

Tony Blair's dirty money
Tom Bower is an English investigative journalist who for more than three decades has been winning plaudits for his eye-opening books about such figures as war criminal Klaus Barbie, newspaper baron Robert Maxwell, business tycoon Richard Branson, and Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson. In 2003, he won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award for an exposé of corruption in English soccer.
Now (speaking of corruption) he's published Broken Vows – Tony Blair: The Tragedy of Power, which tears back the curtain on the former British prime minister. Several excerpts from Bower's book have been serialized in the Daily Mail, and they're all of immense interest, probing Blair's incompetent moves on education, health, and immigration, his missteps on Afghanistan and Iraq, his bellicose relationship with Gordon Brown, and much else. But three excerpts contained revelations about Blair the post-Downing Street wheeler-dealer – the useful stooge par excellence – that will be of special interest to readers of this website.
Bower takes us back to 2007, when Blair resigned from the top post and took up the role of Middle East envoy for the U.N., E.U., U.S., and Russia. Unfortunately, that position – however prestigious – was unpaid, and Blair, after living on a prime minister's modest salary for a decade, was ready to be rich.
Very, very rich.
He mentioned this desire to his former chief of staff, Jonathan Powell. Powell then spoke with a headhunter, Martin Armstrong. He, in turn, had a meeting with the CEO of J.P. Morgan, Jamie Dimon, who, meeting with Blair, offered him $100,000 to sit on the bank's board. But Blair was insulted. $100,000? For an ex-PM? Hewanted more. Lots more. Forty times more. Specifically, he wanted "at least £3 million a year, a five-year contract as an adviser and a percentage of every contract he initiated."
He got it. For whatever reason, Morgan agreed to give him pretty much everything he wanted. And that was just the start. He also got a £180,000-a-year stint as climate-change advisor to a Swiss insurance firm. Plus another "advisory" gig on the payroll of Bernard Arnault, the richest man in France. And yet another job "representing" – whatever that means – "a wealth fund based in Abu Dhabi."
While busying lining up these income-generating activities, Blair did something else: he set up (and hey, which one of us hasn't, at one time or another?) a complex maze of limited-partnership shell companies through which to collect and channel cash from these and other paymasters – and to hide from authorities the true dimensions of the wealth he was now beginning to accumulate. This network of phony firms was, and is, no different from those set up by various crooks in places like Venezuela and Argentina whose hijinks we've recounted on this site over the past few months.
We're talking about people like Tarek El Aissami, the thuggish governor of the Venezuelan state of Aragua, who, it will be remembered, lifts massive amounts of money from his state's treasury and launders it through a vast network of shell companies, the chart of which, as we've noted, "looks more complex than the organization of the U.S. government itself." And then there's shipping magnate Wilmer Ruperti, who, in order to fool a Russian ship-rental enterprise into thinking it was chartering oil tankers to PDVSA, the Venezuelan national petroleum firm, set up a web of shell companies, to one of which he gave a name similar to PDVSA. Leasing a fleet of tankers from the Russian outfit, Ruperti then rented them to PDVSA at a profit. (And what does your dad do for a living?)
These are the kind of lowlife scum whose shabby stratagems Tony Blair, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, has plainly studied up and imitated. Following their example, he's lined his pockets magnificently.
But as we'll see tomorrow, his similarity to these useful stooges goes beyond the mere setting-up of fake front companies. Tune in.

Historically, we Americans – regardless of sex or region or ideological orientation or economic status or educational background – have tended to be suspicious of politicians. We're not in a hurry to trust them. We see them as a necessary evil. Many of us assume they're corrupt.
And indeed many of them are.
But when it comes to corruption, the great majority of U.S. politicians look like total amateurs compared to pretty much everybody in the government of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, heir to Hugo Chávez. These guys often seem like competitors in some perverse, hyped-up version of that old game show Supermarket Sweep, on which contestants raced up and down the grocery aisles at top speed, dumping as much merchandise as they could into their shopping carts before the buzzer went off.
(This comparison is perhaps especially apt given the way in which chavismo corruption has emptied Venezuelan supermarket shelves.)
In short, chavista politics is a grotesque grabfest – a hustle wrapped in a dodge wrapped in a racket. The shame factor is at zero. One after another chavista politician has been all but penniless when he took his first oath of office – and next thing you knew, the dude had a parking lot full of cars, a fleet of planes, and a half dozen mansions in as many countries. Rarely, moreover, does anybody raise an eyebrow about any of this obvious criminality, let alone look into the source of the lucky guy's newfound lucre.
In chavista culture, grotesque corruption is taken for granted.
When Hugo Chávez became President in 1999, he rechristened the country as the "Bolivian Republic of Venezuela," in honor of the noble nineteenth-century revolutionary Simón Bolívar, who is universally known as the "George Washington of South America." Chávez claimed Bolívar as a hero, but Bolívar himself would doubtless have been appalled by pretty much everything about Chávez.
In any event, the nation's newly minted name spawned a number of corollary monickers: bolichicos, a label for young Chávez-connected businessmen in a hurry; boliburgueses (i.e., boli-bourgeoisie), a term for supposedly socialist Chávez loyalists who are also suspiciously successful big-time capitalists; and bolifuncionarios, that is, pals of Hugo who were handed top jobs for which they had absolutely no visible qualifications and who proceeded to steal pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down.
No, let's not put it quite that way. Describing these crooks as mere sticky-fingered second-story men isn't giving them enough credit. After all, they don't just back up the truck and start loading it; they work hard at their thievery. Indeed, some of them have come up with such ingenious money-stealing stratagems that you can't help thinking that if they'd devoted a fraction as much intelligence and energy to something that would benefit (rather than rip off) the Venezuelan people, the country's economy would be thriving, rather than in the toilet.
Most of these creeps' careers have followed essentially the same basic pattern. They started by being lucky enough to run across Chávez (or some Chávez intimate) in their youth. In addition to knowing Chávez, many of them have (to put it mildly) shady pasts: at college, Tarek El Aissami, current head of the ruling PSUV party, ran the dorms like a prison warden, using them to hide stolen cars, carry out drug sales, and house guerrillas. But such dicey résumé items are never held against these scoundrels.
José David Cabello
Routinely, these chavistas started out in government at the very top – going straight from a job as (say) an ordinary accountant or farm worker to becoming the #1 guy at the state oil or transport or telecom firm, or serving as Minister of this or that. Also routinely, they jump from one of these top jobs to another – or even, in some cases (in defiance of both the Venezuelan Constitution and good administrative policy), hold more than one top job at the same time. For example, current Minister of Industries José David Cabello has previously served as head of the state tax agency (Seniat), as a board member of the state agency for international commerce (Cencoex), as head of the national airline (Conviasa), and as Minister of Infrastructure.
These top jobs all have two things in common: first, they require skills, education, and/or experience that none of these well-connected appointees has ever had; second, they give these guys access to piles and piles of dough. This combination of stellar incompetence and magnificent opportunities for corruption is exactly why the country is now a shambles.
Now, as to the specifics of their larceny. As noted, they don't just walk off with sacks of cash. No: they devise baroque ripoff schemes that are more complicated than the plot of a Renaissance play. These subterfuges typically involve the creation – for purposes of money laundering – of any number of fake banks and holding companies in places like Luxembourg, Switzerland, Belize, and the Cayman Islands.
They also often involve the creation of fake companies that are awarded lucrative no-bid contracts for government projects, which are then subcontracted to real companies for lower sums, with the bolifunctionario pocketing the difference. Some of these guys are especially ambitious in their perfidy: in order to make it harder to follow the trail of stolen taxpayer cash, Aissami runs a "multilayered and vast network of shell companies" that are based in a range of countries and, on paper, are run by various friends and relatives.
Broad-scale nepotism and kickbacks are a standard part of the picture, too. Several of these guys, moreover, own sports teams, which provide a whole separate – and wonderfully rich – set of opportunities for illegal enrichment. Indeed, these gangsters have their fingers in all kinds of pies one didn't even realize existed.
The result of all this masterful duplicity is that it can be difficult, in Venezuela, to know who really owns what, how much money they have, where it came from, and where exactly they're keeping it. Victor Vargas, a bank president popularly known as the "Chávez banker," is "widely believed to own Cadena Capriles," the country's biggest media conglomerate – but since it was purchased abroad through a proxy firm, nobody can be sure whether he owns it or not.
Eventually, many of these sleazeballs have been fingered as crooks, either by opposition politicians or by foreign governments, or both; in some cases, Venezuelan prosecutors have actually gone after them, with two or three of them becoming defendants in a dozen or more corruption-related lawsuits at a time. When they are caught red-handed, none of these guys ever evinces remorse or shame; the typical move, instead, is to denounce one's accusers as enemies of the revolution and tools of American imperialism.
In any event, however much public attention is drawn to these flimflam men's irregular activities, almost none of them ever loses his job. Yes, once in a long while one of them is actually fired for corruption – perhaps to make the regime look above-board, or perhaps just because the person in question has crossed the Dear Leader or become inconvenient to him. But for the most part, these malefactors enjoy absolute impunity.
Next time around: a rogues' gallery of bolifuncionarios.

Q: Common utility classes for Android testing projects I keep tests for my Android projects in four separate projects: unit and functional tests separately, and tests that require native Android environment (Activity/Service tests, functional Robotium tests) separated from tests that I suppose can safely be run in artificial environment (Robolectric + some acceptance tests for non-strictly-Android libraries). However, I need to share some utility classes between some of the projects (mostly I mean the Android Test Kit ones, but it would be nice if I could have them under Robolectric too).
How should I go about this problem? Should I create an Android library or a simple JAR with the stub android.jar as a dependency? I've tried both solutions but got strange errors like NoClassDefFoundError for classes from the support library or IllegalAccessError: Class ref in pre-verified class resolved to unexpected implementation for classes from the tested project.

A: This approach, "a simple JAR with the stub android.jar as a dependency", seems simpler. In your test project, besides including this JAR as a dependency, you need to check the box for this JAR in the "Order and Export" tab of "Java Build Path" in the project property if you are using Eclipse.

Air's Champagne Parlor
127 Macdougal St., Greenwich Village
It's hard to imagine a better place to do drinks with girlfriends than this feminine champagne parlor, which features a marble bar, deep green velvet banquettes, and gold stools. In addition to an extensive list of champagnes and sparkling wines by the glass, they have a great little snack menu featuring oysters, caviar, charcuterie, and a seriously good grilled cheese. Come during their "bubbly hour," when you can get three glasses of champagne by the glass plus a snack for $30 a person.
79-81 Macdougal St., Greenwich Village
Dante is an homage to the original Caffe Dante, which had been in Greenwich Village since 1915 and was once a preferred haunt for Italian immigrants—along with legends like Bob Dylan, Ernest Hemingway, Al Pacino, and Patti Smith. Since changing hands to new owner Linden Pride, it's fortunately maintained a lot of its charm. The cocktails—all modern riffs on classic drinks—are made with fresh-pressed citrus or "fluffy" orange juice straight from the juicer. Every day from 4 to 7 in the evening, it hosts Negroni Sessions, where you can sample the twelve types of Negroni available on tap. Small plates to full-fledged Italian entrées are on offer at dinner time; there is a killer brunch, too.

185 Bleecker St., Greenwich Village
Chloe Coscarelli was fresh out of culinary school when she won an episode of Cupcake Wars with a vegan cupcake recipe: She was the first person to do so on that show or any other televised cooking competition. She's since opened a casual restaurant in the West Village (followed by others), with an adorable interior (striped wooden floors, colorful tiles, hanging swing) and a little fridge with pre-packaged food. While the menu is focused on smoothies, juices, and great vegan burgers, you can still pick up her famous cupcakes.
414 6th Ave., Greenwich Village
We love their big old-fashioned sign and window displays which make it look like it's still a mom and pop shop from the 1960's. Inside, it's the opposite, full of their own ever-growing and excellent line of body care products, and the best of what's new from other brands like Diptyque, La Roche, and Boiron. They take great care to stock the best offerings in beauty and body care, so it's always fun to go and pick up a special treat. They also fill prescriptions.
JG Melon
89 Macdougal St., Greenwich Village
There's a pretty large group of people who contest that J.G. Melon has the best burgers in the city. They first set up shop on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 74th Street back in 1972, and it retains its original charm thanks to the persevering green-checked tablecloths and well-worn wooden bar. The newer Greenwich Village location is, of course, a popular haunt for NYU kids—just keep in mind that it's under different ownership than the original.
430 Lafayette St., Greenwich Village
Indochine's opening back in 1984 was actually a dinner in honor of Juilan Schnabel—and the entire art crowd showed up to celebrate. Blessedly, the place hasn't changed much since then; the wallpaper is iconic, and the Chilean sea bass has garnered a cult-like following. They know what they're doing, so you can trust them to handle private events of any size.
30 W. 8th St., Greenwich Village
There are Stumptown locations in most major coffee-obsessed cities and each one has its own character. This one is housed in a historic Greenwich Village space that formerly belonged to the storied 8th Street Bookshop. The space has been reworked to accommodate an impressive coffee bar and plenty of tables without stripping it of charm. Keep in mind that while the drink menu has all the favorites and more, there isn't much on offer in terms of food. Visit the second location in the Ace Hotel in the Flatiron District.
Marlton Hotel Espresso Bar
5 W. 8th St., Greenwich Village
The gorgeous Marlton Hotel lobby happens to be home to a great espresso bar. Here, you'll find a simple but perfectly executed offering of coffee drinks, teas, and snacks (get the beet chips and one of the salads). While tables tend to go fast, you can usually grab a couch or armchair.
Great Jones Spa
29 Great Jones St., Greenwich Village
They've got every treatment under the sun here, at a range of prices. If you're not looking for a massage or facial, just book the water lounge and spend the day between the pool, the sauna, and the jacuzzi. It's fun to do with friends.

Additional tour dates in Germany in Autumn!
Live Nation has sent out the first dates of the additional dates which will be added to the Roxette World Tour 2011. The dates are, so far, for Germany and Spain (already known) only.
Information about ticket sales in Germany is still not available.
In addition, apparently Live Nation Spain has cancelled the Golden Ring tickets which were announced last week, so currently only the normal tickets (49 EUR) are listed on the website.
More dates to come, hopefully in other countries and Stockholm too! For the complete tour agenda so far, visit our World Tour 2011 page!
Update: Tickets for Germany will go on sale this Friday, March 18 at 9 in the morning.
A short note about releases: The interest in the countries where "Charm School" hasn't been released yet is very high. However, the album won't contain the same track list in all countries. For example, China has forbidden Roxette to release "Sleeping In My Car" due to the sexual content. Therefore the live version of this song, which is included in the Deluxe version of "Charm School", will be excluded.
As it appears 2 more concerts in Germany are close to sold out after Berlin. Cologne is already sold out at both big ticket vendors, while the availability for Leipzig goes on/off at getgo.de and eventim.de. According to Roxette's homepage, 53,000 of 60,000 tickets in Germany (excl. the Audi gigs, as it appears) are sold. The Hessentagsarena in Oberursel/Frankfurt has capacity for up to 30,000 visitors.
Have a look at our World Tour 2011 page for the complete tour plan so far.
Thanks to Rene for the Cologne tip!
Roxette's "official German website" got just launched on www.roxette.de. The site basically features the same content as www.emimusic.de/roxette – where the domain was previously forwarded to – but is styled in line with the Charm School artwork. It embeds content from Roxette's official Facebook page and runs a contest to win signed "She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio)" singles. EMI used www.roxette.de already in the past to launch special sites for the "Room Service" and "Hits!" releases.
After 20 years Roxette will finally take part at the German TV show "Wetten, dass..?". On February 12th, Roxette will perform a Greatest Hits medley at the show which will be broadcast from Halle. The show is on German channel ZDF and the biggest TV show in German television – around 8-10 million people usually watch the programme.
Unfortunately, tickets for this one show are already sold out.
UPDATE, 24th January: A few minutes ago, EMI Germany confirmed that Roxette will play a medley including "She's got nothing on (but the radio)".
UPDATE, 31th January: On Friday EMI revealed that Roxette play a medley of "The Look" and "It Must Have Been Love" along with "She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio)". Thanks mr jefferson!
According to several sources, the ticket sale for the German shows starts on this Saturday, 6 am.
Until now the shows are not listed at Germany's biggest ticket site, Eventim.de. According to Swedish sources the sale for the Göteborg show starts on Monday and a ticket costs 450 SEK. Livenation.se has a note on their site telling about a Presale of special tickets starting tomorrow already. If you have any further information about tickets, sales, prices and more – let us know.
According to Musikindustrin's journalist Lars Nylin Roxette will play in Germany in December. In the article about Sundsvall concert he mentions Russia and Germany as the exemples of forthcoming Roxette shows. Time will tell if it is true.
Per says that he doesn't know anything about any German gigs.
So here they move on German roads. "The Night of the Proms" tour turns its name into "The Nokia Night of the Proms" thanks to the main sponsor of this event in Germany. 20 more shows to go!
Will there be surprises on the part of Roxette? Will WICF stay in the first part of show? Will WICF stay in the show at all or will it be replaced with another song (as suggested of a NotP-forum)?
Which classical piece will be replaced by "Le Carnaval Romain"? as this piece is on the CD, but wasn't played in Antwerp, Arnhem or Rotterdam. Will Swedish Rhapsody leave the playlist, taking WICF along (as suggested of a NotP-forum)?
Will a "new" Roxette-song enter the playlist? Church of your heart to replace WICF?
Questions, questions, questions… to be answered next Friday in Hamburg!

No one wants to fall. We've seen that happen to others and we know how devastating falls can be. For older adults, falls are the leading cause of unintentional injury, death from injury, and hospital admissions for trauma.(3) At the same time, no one wants to use a cane or a walker. We've all seen a friend show up one day with a cane and thought, "they've certainly aged since I last saw them."
And there we have the dichotomy. We all know that if we live long enough, at some point in our lives we will need help standing and walking. On the other hand, we don't want to adopt this clear sign of aging any sooner than we must. Of course a real solution is to remain physically fit. If I could see my risk for Falls increase over time, that might be the impetus for me to start exercising more regularly. And if I knew for certain that tomorrow I would fall and hurt myself, I would start using a cane today. The hard question here is: what is my real risk for falls?
What is My Risk for Falls?
We know that as we age our bodies wear down. We don't have the balance that we used to. We don't have the core strength to stand as long as we used to. Our eye sight is less sharp than it used to be. Any of these declines can lead to a serious fall. What we would like is an objective measure of risk. I'd like a test that tells me, "your risk of a fall in the next month is 5%". Or "your risk of a fall in the next month is 80%". Imagine how you would react to that assessment. Ideally, I'd like to take a quick test every few months to chart my eventual decline.
You can search the web for information on the topic, but you will be overwhelmed with a huge number of results. As you click through these you will find that many of them are duplicative, some offer small variations on the same topic. Some are, frankly, not very good. In this article we guide you to just the best information we have found.
Three activity based fall risk assessments - actual tests that measure your risk.
Many of the self assessments suggest that you speak to your primary care physician if your score is above some threshold. What will your physician do to assess your risk? The U.S. Center for Disease Control's STEADI program provides physicians a flow chart (below) to follow in assessing your risk of falling. Knowing how your doctor will assess your risk provides you insight as well.
The CDC recommended physician flowchart suggests three activity based tests. These tests are intended to be used by trained professionals to assess a patient. When you see how these assesments are done (below) you will get an idea of how you might score in these tests.
We have searched the web to find the best short video to illustrate each test. The videos are designed for use by clinicians learning how to assess an older adult's for risk for falls, and so are talking to the clinician rather than to the older adult.
It is interesting to note that for some assessments, doing them more might improve your score. For instance, in the Chair Stand Test your partner counts how many times in 30 seconds you can stand from a chair and then sit down. Imagine that you test yourself one day and find that you can only do three. So you retest yourself every day. Perhaps a week later you can do five. The very act of doing the test may improve your strength; it is, in fact, a very small exercise program. Our clinician colleagues point out that any sort of testing like this should be done with a partner who is suitably qualified (strong, good balance, well trained) to make sure you are safe and don't fall while doing these assessments.
The material in this article represents the best tools we have found to assess your risk for falls. As we said at the beginning, the current tools are not as detailed as we all might like, but they do provide information that is both useful and actionable.
If you find that you have a risk of falling, then you should certainly see your physician to create a plan to reduce your risk of a devastating fall.
We will continue to monitor this area. If we find new tools, we will update this article. If you find new tools, please add them in the comments below.
