      "No Fall Zone, Fall Prevention and How To Fall If You Do" could save your life. It can save you lots of money, keep you out of the hospital, and help prevent a world of pain. Every 19 minutes an American senior dies from a fall. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall. Falls are the leading cause of death from injury among people 65 and older, and the risk of falls increases with age. You will learn why you fall, the three systems that keep you balanced and safe, and how to keep those systems sharp and functional. You will learn how to anticipate and avoid hazards and obstacles, and how to customize your residence for fall prevention. If you do fall, you will learn how to minimize or avoid injury, from scrapes and bruises to catastrophic injuries. And you will learn how to combat dorsiflexor droop, and exercises that will help prevent falling, and help you recover from a potential fall. Ken Delmar, author of "Winning Moves, Body Language for Business," has been studying the causes, dangers, and prevention of falling since he was thrown off a horse at age six. Well, okay, it was a pony, but a big, ornery pony. Today, at age 78, with the publication of "No Fall Zone" he shares his insights, strategies, tactics and exercises with you to help you prevent falls, and learn how to fall if you do. "No Fall Zone" can help keep you safe, help you sustain your lifestyle, and extend your active life.

      If you are looking for a relief from reality, a rose-colored view of the world, blithe inspiration, and happy endings, there are plenty of books, videos, podcasts, audio books, podcasts, musicals, and blogs to accommodate you and cheer you up. "Shafted" does not fall into this genre. It will not cheer you up, put a tear on your cheek, restore your faith in human nature, or give you goose-bumps. It will, more likely, piss you off and make you angry and irritable for the rest of the day, if not the week. "Shafted" offers you the other side of the coin; un-sweetened, dismayingly true, unleavened stories from real life that spin out of raw, unadorned human nature. It is going to rip off your rose-colored glasses and expose the egregious behavior generated by the mean-spirited, pernicious, selfish, arrogant, insidious and greedy side of human behavior. "Shafted" is the antidote to Chicken Soup.The premise of "Shafted" was first recorded in the Ancient Greek and Roman Empires as the proverb, "Praemonitus, praemunitus," or "Forewarned is forearmed." But it probably goes back even further, to the earliest clans and communities of Neanderthal and other archaic homo sapiens of Eurasia, who were, no doubt, subject to the earliest iterations of human nature, which even then must have enabled those who were forewarned and forearmed to anticipate, survive, and ultimately - prevail!
