Handicap Stair Lift – Taking You Up and Down Your Stairs

March 19, 2012

Handicap stair lifts are a blessing to physically handicapped people. they help physically disabled people to move up and down the stairways of their house or office without much effort. Stair chair lifts are available for both indoor and outdoor use. in the absence of handicap stair lifts, it is a stressful activity for physically handicapped people to climb the steps to carry out their daily needs. otherwise they have to resort to the help of caretakers to climb the stairs. Stair chair lifts for straight stairways, curved stairways and even complex stairways are now available in the market. Stair lifts are also known as chair lifts or stair gliders.

A handicap stair lift mainly consists of a chair to carry the handicapped person. this chair with arms and footrest is called a carriage. there will be a rail which is mounted on the steps of the stairways. the carriage will be attached to the rail and the stair lift climbs the stair way by moving along the rail. for rotating the carriage at curves, manual or electrical powered swivels are provided with the seat to rotate at 45 degrees or 90 degrees. Some stairlift chairs can be used as indoor wheelchairs. Outdoor stairlifts are similar to indoor stairlifts but they are provided with better weatherproofing.

Earlier stair lifts had only AC driven motors. the problem with these chair lifts was that they could not be used at the time of power failure. To overcome this drawback modern stair chair lifts are provided with motors that are powered by rechargeable batteries which use direct current. the controls of most of the handicap stair lifts are provided at the armrest so that even people with limited mobility can easily control the stairlift.

Now handicap stair lifts with infrared remote control facility are available in the market. Some stairlifts are provided with obstruction sensors to provide maximum safety to the stairlift user. Normal straight stair lifts have a speed ranging from 0.07 m/s to 0.15 m/s. Reliable and branded stairlifts have a life of 20 years. Considering the requirements of stair lift users, various models of stairlifts with different features have been introduced in the market by stairlift manufacturers. Bruno, ThyssenKrupp Access, and Savaria Concord are some of the leading stairlift manufacturers who provide various models of stairlifts in the world market.

Where Do Small Household Items Go to Die?

January 8, 2012

1.first find a convenient location. A utility drawer can be in any room in the house but a kitchen drawer is usually ideal because it’s in the heart of the home, where many people spend the majority of their time.

2.A utility drawer should hold frequently used or emergency items. Items that might appropriately be found in the drawer include flashlights, batteries, scissors, tape, rubber bands, matches, and tape measures. PS: A utility drawer is not the place to keep mementos; find another place for these special items.

3.Remove everything from the drawer and throw out dead batteries, old pieces of string, stale gum, dried up glue, etc. this stuff belongs in the garbage. You will instantly have more space than you could imagine.

4.Wash out the drawer so it will be dry by the time you put things back.

5.Relocate things that belong somewhere else (and resolve to continue this practice in the future). Decks of cards should go with other games, tees to the golf bag, paper clips in the office, assorted hardware to the toolkit, etc.

6.Sort the remaining items into piles. Group similar items together: safety pins with safety pins, rubber bands with rubber bands, etc., using whatever categories make sense to you. PS: Include a category for unidentified items and check with other household members for help in identifying them.

7.Organize the drawer with containers large enough to hold each pile. empty film canisters, pill bottles, or ice cube trays are great for holding thumbtacks and other tiny items. how about old check boxes and snack size zip-lock bags? and cutlery and utensil trays don’t just have to hold silverware. PS: Try to stick with square or rectangular shapes to maximize drawer space.

8.Replace orderly piles in the containers you’ve chosen. PS: Extension cords are commonly found in utility drawers. Store them by winding the cord loosely and slipping them into cardboard tubes from empty paper towel rolls.

9.Teach other household members where things belong and let them know that the former junk drawer is now a utility drawer. It’s a place to store regularly used items, not a catchall for things they don’t want to bother putting away.

10.It’s best to have only one utility drawer. Resolve to go through it monthly. PS: Try not to revert back to calling it a junk drawer

Now it’s a resource, not a nightmare by transforming your junk drawer you will cut down on the time spent searching through clutter.

Medication Management for the Elderly

December 16, 2011

The ability of the elderly to manage their medications is often a
concern to the family. These concerns of the family often become
a point of contention between themselves and the elder. at what
point does the family step in?

I am a big believer of trusting your instincts–there is a reason
you are concerned. you did not worry about your parents ability
when they were healthy and strong in their 60′s or 70′s.
Something has you thinking there is a problem now. Trust that

Thirty five percent –read that again—thirty five percent –of
hospital admissions of the elderly are related to either medication
non-compliance, under-medicating, or over medicating.

125,000 elderly DIE each year due to medication
mismanagement.

By age sixty five, two thirds of all seniors have two or more
chronic conditions requiring prescription medications.

Each chronic condition that is diagnosed adds an additional
medication or two. This is a way of life for the elderly and is
often too large a task for them to handle without support.

Side effects of these medications and interactions with each
other require the ongoing study of an alert mind.

Elders need to be informed about each medication:

Interaction possibilities

Over the counter medications are often used by the elderly
along with vitamins, minerals, laxatives, herbs and pain
remedies. many of these over the counter medications were
once prescription medications with potential drug interactions
and side effects.

Many people do not understand the importance of informing
their physican of all over the counter medications that they
take routinely or occasionally. by not being informed, physicians
do not have the opportunity to relay drug inter action information
and in fact may be adding a drug that is similar to an over the
counter medication already being taken–over dosing

Each time a new prescription or over the counter medicine is
added to the regiment, there is an increase in potenial side
effects or intereactions thus creating an increase in safety
issues. less than thirty percent of older adults take their
medication correctly. please read that again–less than 30%
take their medications correctly

Family involvement is imperative if there is any possibility
that your elder is forgetful or confused. If the elder is unable
to relate the purpose of each medication what condition it
is treating when it is taken then your intervention is necessary.

There are many ways to individualize the medication regiment
for your elder. you will know in which area of the process they
need assistance. please allow them their dignity in choosing
where they need help. There are many ways to provide this
assistance.

Obtain easy open bottles from the pharmacy.

Ask for large print labels.

Ask for different color medication bottles for specific medications.

Use a pill organizer-7 days-breakfast-lunch- dinner-bedtime.

If able, allow the elder to fill the med box-with supervision.

You fill the medication box. I have four boxes and fill them once a month.

Creat a chart if opposed to a pill box.

Daily reminder phone calls from you.

Regardless of the method you and your elder choose, the most
important issue is attendance at all doctor’s appointments.
Someone needs to go with the frail elder to each and every
appointment even if it means hiring a local private duty
agency. Have your elder assigned to a specific nurse. The
nurse will accompany your elder, get new prescriptions filled,
make follow up appointments, fill the med box, and even call
you with a report. you can get everything you need done.

Sell Vintage Dressing Table Boxes On EBay

October 29, 2011

‘Boxes’ is a generic term covering trinket boxes, powder and perfume compacts, pill boxes and jewellery boxes, although you’ll find some box types overlap between the vanity collectibles section and other sections, such as vesta cases, usually listed as smoking collectibles, compacts and jewellery boxes, the latter which also have a specialist category in the ‘Jewellery & Watches’ category.

On eBay today, under ‘Vanity / Perfume / Grooming’ you’ll even see wooden caskets offered in which to keep your loved one’s ashes – not sure why they made it into the collectibles category but a good price was fetched all the same. not choosing the ‘best’ appropriate category for whatever you are listing means you will miss out on searchers browsing various sub-categories and not using keywords and phrases to find products they may wish to buy. this should not be a major worry for anyone, as long as you describe your products properly and if necessary list in two different categories.

Let’s look at highest prices fetched recently on eBay for boxes of various types within the overall vanity collectibles category:

* a ’14K Sapphire Diamond Pillbox’ sold on the US site fetched the equivalent 902.83

(Notice here how the seller has used ‘Pillbox’ instead of ‘Pill Box’, and done well as a result. but the fact is on eBay at the present time there are 430 items listed as ‘Pillbox’ and 2145 describing the item as ‘Pill Box’. It’s best to include both versions in your title to feature in all eBay searches or go with the majority of successful sellers if space is limited. That’s because buyers and sellers tend to think alike and almost certainly more potential buyers will choose ‘pill box’ over ‘pillbox’ as did sellers I studied today).

* a ‘Guilloche Enamel Silver Art Deco Jewellery Box 1925′ made 420

* a ‘Micro Mosaic Trinket Box, 19th Century Grand Tour Item’ fetched 321

* a Set of ‘Royal Doulton Beatrix Potter Trinket Boxes’ made 165

Notice that, although I was searching eBay worldwide, I discovered all but the first item above was listed on eBay.co.uk. this means, if you have a box of whatever type belonging under the ‘Vanity / Perfume / Grooming’ category you should be safe listing it in the UK and expecting visits from other country sites.

OneShot Automatic and SoapWorks Manual – Technical Concepts Soap Dispensers

August 28, 2011

Lately a lot of restaurants, hospitals and other business establishments are moving toward counter mount soap dispensers. they look more attractive than typical wall-mounted dispensers and last longer and are more sanitary than the cheap bottle hand soaps. Technical Concepts, a bathroom accessories company, makes two types of sink mounted soap dispensers, the OneShot Touch Free Automatic soap dispenser and the SoapWorks Manual Counter Mounter soap dispenser.

Both soap dispensers contain the same features. Technical Concepts counter mounted soap dispensers are guaranteed to work, they don’t drip or clog leaving you just about worry free of maintenance concerns. In addition to not dripping or clogging, each OneShot and SoapWorks dispenser refill come with a new pump and delivery tube that prevents you from having to service, repair and maintain one tube for a long period of time. Dispensers are compact and fit into a one inch opening in a counter no more than two inches thick.

These dispensers are ADA compliant and are very easy to use. With an quick and easy twist refill loading method, it does not require any technical knowledge to maintain. the OneShot Automatic soap dispenser runs on 4 D Cell Alkaline batteries or an optional AC adapter. the batteries last for about two years or 20,000 hand washes.

The soap dispensers come in a variety of metal finishes, these finished include: chrome and black, brilliant brass, brushed chrome, low profile chrome, or chrome.

One thing about the Technical Concepts soap dispensers are that they are based on propietary ownership. the only soaps that will fit into a OneShot or SoapWorks dispenser are made by Technical Concepts. the OneShot and SoapWorks dispensers and soap save you money by delivering a controlled amount of foam or liquid soap. the amount is about half of what you would get in standard soap dispensers but with the same or exceeding amount of cleaning power. A 800mL refills will give you up to 1000 hand washes and a 1600mL refill will give you up to 2000 hand washes. these dispensers are perfect for places that get a high amount of traffic, it reduces the amount of time between servicing and changing refills.

What type of soaps do they have that fit into the OneShot and SoapWorks?

  • 401541 Lotion Soap with Moisturizer –The lotion soap contains glycerin, aloe vera and vitamin E to help protect and smooth skin after a hand washing. it has a floral scent.
  • 401542 Antibacterial Lotion Soap — great for use in food service or health care facilities, it has a light citrus scent.
  • 401543 Pure n’ Natural Soap — this floral scented soap is gentle and made with natural ingredients.

Technical Concepts makes a wonderful array of products and these two products showcase that. they both contain the same benefits. if you would prefer a low cost version go for the SoapWorks dispenser. if you approve of the hygienic technical aspect of soap dispensers, look more at the OneShot. they each perform well and are a good investment for any business.

How to Label Your Libbey Glass Jars So They Are Retail-Ready

August 15, 2011

One of the most overlooked details in merchandising, how you label your Libbey jars can speak worlds about your company and your products. we are asked on a frequent basis how to address packaging concerns prior to retail distribution and what type of labels to use on specific Libbey designs. We’ve found that successful labeling approaches range the gamut; and the best strategies are those that align with your business’ vision and the target consumer’s expectation.

The simplest jars to label are straight sided: e.g, Libbey Status, Libbey Square, Libbey Double Old Fashioned or other tumblers, Libbey Apothecary Jars, also known as Classic Storage or Lucida (terraced apothecary jars), Libbey Cylinders, Candle Bowls and other basic glasses. if you are using any of these styles, you have the flexibility to put labels on the sides. However, if you are selling your candles in urban settings, large, conspicuous side labels may turn off potential consumers. if they are looking for something simple and you are selling into a spa concept, steer clear of complex colors and labeling strategies. The most effective branding approach is simple: decorative gift boxes and a clear strip around the neck of the jar with your company’s information. In this setting, less is more.

For standard retail settings targeting middleclass customers, large labels are attractive and do not disrupt the selling process. In fact, many customers in this category are looking to buy a brand or associate a product’s label with what is inside in terms of color, quality, texture and style. thus, you can use the above styles and label them with no restrictions. make sure that if you are color matching to labels, you keep your container’s look consistent with the message you are sending to the consumer. if you want them to pay more, for example, then don’t overdo the labels. if you want to create a novelty product, use custom artwork that evokes fun cultural themes. try to regionalize your labels so that your Libbey product meets the consumer’s expectations for local home decorating styles.

Beyond the easy-to-label, round or curvy jars such as Libbey Interlude, Vibe, Whisper and Bean Pot Jars will not take labels on the sides. you have three options: (1) label the lid, (2) label the bottom or (3) label the neck. My experience has been that using creative labeling strategies around the neck either creating a choke collar or an attractive hang tag will generate more consumer enthusiasm than putting a label on the lid or bottom. Labeling the lid is not common – in most retail environments, this will hinder your retailing opportunities because the consumer will not have the ability to see inside the jar and this can detract from salability. before you approach the labeling process, get samples of the Libbey styles you like best and think your potential customers will love. do blind marketing tests of the shapes and labeling combinations until you find what works the best. You’ll find that your products will be retail-ready, and have great shelf appeal and branding potential.

Ways to Make Life Easier For Your Parents

August 14, 2011

Basic producs that can help parents

Everyone wants to make their parents happy. We try to do that in many ways, by looking after them, giving them gifts and asking them if they want something. but what will actually make them happy is when we give them something without them asking for it. We are not suggesting big things like buying a car, but small things like giving them a lift to their satsangs, buying your mom new chappals and so on.

Below are some of the products that can be really useful for the elderly and make their life easier.

Hearing aids: you are watching a movie and your mother constantly interrupts by asking, what did she say? you answer her but the questions continue. Hearing loss is common problems that all seniors face. Mostly everyone treats it lightly and does not go to the doctor. but there are many behavioral issues that come with the loss of hearing, like feeling left out of the conversation or some misunderstanding due to poor hearing, you may even snap at them when they ask you to repeat what you said.

Studies show that only one in every five people who need hearing aids, are actually able to get them. So take your parents to a specialist and get their ears checked. If the doctor prescribes hearing aid, convince your parents how useful it will be for them and make them wear it. These devices are so small these days that they will hardly be seen from outside, hence, no need to worry.

Blood Sugar Measuring device

Blood Sugar Measuring Device: Your father has been a diabetic for years now but his blood sugar is still not in control. you are worried about the many risks uncontrolled diabetes can bring, like, risk of heart disease, stroke, poor vision and kidney problems. Hence you need to constantly keep his blood sugar level in check and a device that solves the problem of visiting the diagnostic centre every time, is the ‘Blood Sugar Measuring Device’.

These devices are made in a way that they are easy to use and are affordable as well. through regular checks, you can monitor your father’s blood sugar level and make efforts to tackle it.

Walking sticks: This is a symbol long associated with old age and everyone accepted it. but times have changed and now the good old walking sticks are not always embraced by everyone. what needs to be understood is that the walking stick is not a symbol of fragility and old age; in fact it is a symbol of independence. Walking sticks give a kind of independence to elderly to walk without the support of anyone, without the fear of falling.

Pill organizers: it becomes difficult for your parents to see the labels and names of medicines, and they also get confused as to which medicine to take and at what time. At sometimes, you may not be present to give them the medicines they need.

A pill organizer is the perfect solution to this problem. it has a number of small compartments with the days of the week and time given. all you have to do is keep the pills one day of the week and you are done. If there are difficulties in getting pill organizers you can make your own organizer by taking a box that has lots of compartments and keeping their medicines in different compartments.

Cordless phones: Imagine a scenario when your mother is in the bedroom resting and the phone rings, by the time she reaches the living room, the ringing stops. This must have happened several times with your parents. And when they do that, there are chances of tripping over something and falling. you can prevent all these scenarios by getting them cordless phones. you can also get them mobiles, but sometimes it becomes too complicated for aged parents to understand the technical functioning of mobile phones.

Bathroom mats, Bathroom stool, Bathroom mats: the bathroom is often the place where chances of slips and falls are more with regard to aged parents, so this is one area you have to secure against falls. Bring a bathroom mat that prevents slipping. also keep a stool that has a medium height for your parents to sit and take bath. Add handles or bars for them to hold on to, in the bathroom.

Railings: when knees get weak and legs make it difficult to walk, then climbing stairs is really a tiresome job. in such cases all you can do is to assist your parents by putting up railings on the stairs. in case you live in buildings, ensure that your society is senior citizen friendly.

When you take care of these small things, you parents will really feel loved and cared for. it is like a small return gift for all that they have done for you.

Health Tips For Busy People: Healthy Diet & Exercise In the Office

August 13, 2011

Many women’s lifestyle magazines frustrate us by providing exercise regimens for work and then adding: you can do this exercise in your office What about those of us who work in a cube or other small space (with no floor space for Pilates-style stretches) that’s not very private (do you really want your boss to wander by right when you’re doing jumping jacks?). Even if you are cube-confined, you can maintain your health in a cube.

Make a Health Drawer

Your filing spaces are your friends. Most cubes have lots of little drawers. Make one of them a health drawer. Add a ziplock bag or two with healthy non-perishable snacks in it (maybe dried veggies), a few bags of herbal, non-caffeinated tea (switch over from coffee midday to help you sleep better at night), and a travel-size hand-sanitizing gel for use regularly when there’s a cold going around the office (did you know most colds are transmitted through shared objects like doorknobs?). a decorative canvas bag can store an extra pair of athletic shoes in case you can take a 10 minute walk or stretch break over lunch.

Get Blood Back to your Brain:

Pop goes the weasel. when you sit in a cube in front of a computer or on the phone for hours at a time, gravity pulls your blood towards your feet. It pools in your feet, ankles, and fanny; if you’re ever noticed your feet looking puffy towards the end of the day, the puffiness may be a side-effect of having blood spending so much time down there our arm and leg muscles function as pumps to get blood back to the heart.

While you could just do jumping jacks to get the blood flowing back upwards, there are less noticeable ways to get blood moving: if you’ve got a shelf in your high in your cube, keep daily useables (paperclips, stapler) there; getting up regularly will remind you to stretch. while standing lift your legs up at the knee, one at a time, to help get blood flowing. one enterprising woman kept a postcard pinned up towards the very top of her cube wall – and kept an ever-growing collection of postcards that she exchanged every day in the afternoon. the new postcard each day perked her up, and it gave her a reminder to get up and stretch several times a day.

Muscular injury is common in the desk-job world. the Center for Disease Control reports that 92,576 injuries resulted from repetitive motion, including typing or key entry. Make sure to take breaks from the keyboard at least once an hour. Use a wrist support at your computer when you are typing or browsing, your forearm, wrist, and hand should be on a level, not making a V. the Harvard RSI action group suggests some exercises to help prevent repetitive stress injuries (rsi.deas.harvard.edu/). if you spend a lot of time on the phone and can’t use a speaker phone, don’t hold the phone by crunching your shoulder against your ear. instead, invest in or ask for a headset or shoulder support for your receiver.

Drink Plenty Of Water:

Drinking water is very important. It can help you recover from a cold more quickly (though it doesn’t cure it), replenish lost fluids after exercise, and assist in weight loss (many people think they are hungry when they are actually thirsty, so make sure to take a drink before diving for the candy machine). keep a four-cup bottle or thermos near the computer and replenish daily. Don’t overdo though – excess water can dilute important minerals and vitamins in your blood stream.

Make sure to take your Vitamins & Other Pills:

Pill reminders. do you need regularly forget to take vitamins because you’re busy? find an attractive, desk-top container to put the bottle in – a decorative flower pot is one option. Something attractive and eye catching will remind you it’s there. this can also work for daily medications, but keep in mind that some medications can be toxic to others or have street-value (many prescribed pain killers), so these are medications that should stay with you, rather than your desk.

Salt Water Pool vs Chlorine

August 8, 2011

If you’re on the market for a pool, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose a type of system that is right for you. The salt water pool vs. chlorine pool battle has bee raging over the last decade, and today, many homes are building these systems right from the start or converting their old chlorine pools into a salt pool. but what is the real difference from a salt water pool vs. chlorine option? here is a quick run-down of the pool battle:

Salt water is more comfortable for swimmers. Don’t be fooled into thinking that there is no chlorine in these pools. there is. however, in a salt water pool vs. a chlorine pool, the level of chlorine needed is lower and the pH level can be a bit higher. That means the pool water does not cause burning, itching, dry skin, or green hair. It also smells and tastes better.

These pools are less expensive to maintain. A salt water pool vs. chlorine pool is a lot cheaper over time because you do not have to add chlorine tablets to the water. Instead, you just add salt! The salt water runs through and electrical system that charges the salt and creates chlorine on its own. It is initially more expensive to maintain, but in only a few summers, it will pay for itself. After all chlorine tablets cost $60 or more per bucket and you’ll only need about $20 worth of salt every summer, in most cases.

It is, in general, less time consuming to maintain these pools. A salt water pool vs. chlorine pool eats up less of your time because the control box, which charges the salt, regulates most of the water levels. Once you learn the system, you can easily control it, even when you go away on vacation by setting up a timer. however, be aware that you’ll still have to check the water for pH levels as well as calcium levels.

Both salt water and chlorinated water are unhealthy for the environment. No one really wins the pool war when it comes to environmental concerns. while salt water may be a bit safer, it can still cause soil and drinking water problems, as well as kill sensitive plants around the pool. On the plus side, a salt pool option is safer for pets and for your family.

As you can see, a salt water pool vs. chlorine options is a much better choice in most cases. however, there are still some problems with salt water, and you should also consider natural pool water option, which are much safer. these systems cost a bit more initially, but the price is worth it because the quality of the water is unbeatable. Before you choose a pool system, make sure that you consider all the options.

Scared to Death and Moving Forward

July 24, 2011

Life changes and we react accordingly. Sometimes we cause the changes and sometimes change is thrust upon us. obviously some changes are easier than others but nonetheless change is just that a change from the norm. so how do you handle change? most people will say that it all depends, right? it depends on how big the changes are and how much they will impact your life.

One of my mentors told me that “the harder stuff is worth doing the most”. A very similar statement is”whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” Those little snippets of inspiration are great until you’re stuck in the middle of a situation or event that is beating you up a little.

I recently returned to work after a 90 day leave. A motorcycle accident and subsequent surgery forced me to take short term disability. I wouldn’t be able to use my left arm for 8 weeks. What a great opportunity for me to review my life. my job wasn’t going so well for me and I felt like I was a bit out of control, great timing huh? my problems at work were quickly put on hold.

Serious injuries have a way of taking over everything. instead of working on my career I was working on finding a way to sleep in a recliner and keeping the ice on my injuries. my time card at work was replaced with a pain pill timer so I didn’t overdose or was in too much pain. I had been learning about the internet marketing business for 8 months. I decided to use my time to learn more and start a business in my time off work. I really just wanted to make some extra money, not start a new career.

Learning went very well and the business was starting to get some traction when it came time to go back to work. I really liked being at home with my kids before and after school. Going back to work could have been easier if my manager hadn’t decided that he wanted to get rid of me while I was gone. Needless to say my first week back wasn’t great. I was told that I had 30 days to get my sales territory performing at an acceptable level, or else. if after 30days the numbers weren’t acceptable I could be terminated.

Now what am I supposed to do? my internet business isn’t able to cover my salary yet and I need to keep working. Courage reared its beautiful head in a huge way. my wife and I went on a bike ride and stopped to talk about the situation. I had to tell her “I am scared to death”. She was scared to and we had a great realization while we sat in the beautiful, warm Colorado sunshine. We were going to be scared and move forward anyway, together.

The hard stuff is worth doing the most. the accident showed me what is important to me, my health and family. the job issues taught me that sometimes you just have to move on. the internet business taught me that there are other paths out there. Courage came along to help me on the path to a new life.

So when a bad situation is beating you up a little look for courage. What is courage and where do you find it? Stand up and smile. you will get through whatever you need to. you will make it through to the next step in your life. you do have to power to overcome any situation that presents itself. think about what a great opportunity you have in front of you for growth. Take some time and look around at your wonderfully beautiful life. Take some time and say out loud that you are thankful for what you have and smile.

Then you can be scared to death while moving forward. besides, it’s more fun to smile!
