According to the Harris Poll, sponsored by the National Organization on Disability (NOD), just under one third of people with disabilities reported that inadequate transportation was a problem.  Of those individuals, more than half said it was a major problem. The theme of the inaugural awareness month, Life Moving Forward, represents a desire to spread awareness and knowledge about mobility issues. The goal of National Mobility Awareness Months is to teach seniors, veterans and people with disabilities to live an active and mobile lifestyle through the use of wheelchair accessible vehicles and mobility equipment.

NMEDA selected a spokesperson for the month that has never let mobility issues slow him down. Mike Savicki, a freelance sports journalist, disability advocate and small business entrepreneur serves as the spokesperson for National Mobility Awareness Month. Savicki is a 69-time gold medalist in the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. He is the only person to ever finish the Boston Marathon on both foot and a wheelchair.

How can you get involved?

As part of the National Mobility Awareness month, NMEDA is giving away three customized wheel chair vans to three local heroes that have overcome or are dealing with mobility issues. To nominate a local hero, submit a video or written story of about they have overcome or are dealing with mobility issues by May 13, 2012. Vote for your favorite local hero by May 13.

OH-4 and Mobility

OH-4 believes that mobility awareness is important. OH-4 Industries created the Nearly Universal Cup Holder as a convenient solution for people with disabilities. This cup holder easily attaches to the armrests of wheelchairs and scooters with Velcro brand fasteners.

One of the better stop smoking products on the market is the electronic cigarette. There are several reasons for saying this is one of the best products but the most important is the way that it frees you. All nicotine replacement therapies work the same way but e cigarettes are the only one to address your mental habit of smoking. This makes it a great deal easier to quit. This product was developed in China and introduced in 2006 to the world market place. The fact that they give you a simulated cigarette to use helps relieve the mental habit and because there are no fumes from the e cigarette you can use them anywhere.

When you first buy e cigs you will need to buy an e cigarette starters kit. An e cigarettes starter kit will have everything you need to get started. There will be anywhere from one to three cigarettes, a battery and charger and a selection of filler cartridges. The starters kit will have several different flavors and then instructions and prices for buying new ones. The thing is however that you will need to buy these online. They have only been on the market for a few years and had no distribution network set up. This means that many stores still do not sell them. The best thing to do is to make list of all of the brands, like Green Smoke and Safe Cigs, go to the websites, find the ones you like and then check the review sites for this company and this product (just like how you shop for wheelchair accessories).

E cigarettes, like all NRTs, work the best when they are used with other products. For instance e-cigarettes work best when used with a strong peer support system and intensive counseling. Including these will increase your chance from about 30% to nearly 80%

Because of their ability to catch attention, eyelashes should be flaunted and not be masked in dullness and lifelessness. Fortunately, there are eyelash extensions to serve this purpose. Although primarily eyelashes function to protect the eyes from dust particles, they also have the ability to entice and capture the attention of the opposite sex.

If you just want to make your eyelashes look longer and fuller, then you will want eyelash extensions that provide the lashes with more thickness and volume.

You may think that eyelash extensions make your eyelashes look artificial but actually, it depends on the quality of the product that you buy (just like when shoping for wheelchair accessories). It is there recommended to purchase the lashes that are of excellent quality and stand out but at the same time do not look artificial and are great to use to attract males. Also apply some mascara on when you put your eyelash extensions to neutralize the effect and make the eyelashes seem less artificial.

If you want lashes that are longer and thicker, then you should buy a product that is of superior quality, and no we’re not talking about our drink holder.  This way, you are ensured to have lashes that last from three to six weeks. Needless to say, anything that is of an outstanding make last much longer than the mediocre kind.

These days, the cosmetics industry offers a wide range of eyelash extensions that you could choose from. They vary in size and color — from large to small and black to pink. You can also add applications that give the lashes an individual and unique look to them. They add a slant to your false eyelashes and make you look interesting overall.

Remember that when you buy any type of eyelash extension, make sure that they are made of materials that are safe and do not cause allergy. They should also be built in a way that is comfortable to you so that they do not irritate the skin membrane upon contact. Finally, make it a point to choose lashes that fit the eyes perfectly.

One of the benefits of having a huge backyard is having enough space for the kids to play in. With all the space you have available, it is easy to transform it into a swimming pool during summer with inflatable pools and a playground during winter where they can build snowmen and snow angels. However, if you are not that keen on switching your backyard theme every change of season, one of the best things you could get for your backyard is a 16ft trampoline.

Kids love jumping around. They love jumping on the bed, on the couch, from the top of the stairs going down and all around the house. Why not exhaust all that jumping energy into just one place? While there are various sizes for trampolines starting from 10ft ones, the 16ft trampolines are the most recommended especially if you have a number of kids in your household.

For one, the bigger the trampoline is, the more the space for kids to play in. You don’t need to worry about them bumping into each other as much as they might do when they are on a smaller trampoline. You also reduce the risk of falling off the edge from too much bouncing around with a larger one.

However, as much as you would love to get your kids a 16ft, there are just some factors that you would need to consider.

Of course, you would need to assess if the space in your backyard is sufficient to hold a trampoline of this size without cramping the entire area (just like assessing your armrest for our cup holder). Other than that, you should realize that the bigger the trampoline is, the more expensive they are, not necessarily the case with all wheelchair accessories. With this size, it might cost you at least twice more than 10ft trampolines!

However, if your children’s fun and safety are your primary concerns, then getting a bigger trampoline is really your best bet.
