Hard Climb, No MoreWritten by Mart Gil Abareta
The wheelchair has become a disabled people’s best friend. It has become a part of everyday activities of disabled. At least, it lessens burden and suffering that they feel whenever they’re in their wheelchairs. At least, they’re able to do usual stuff that they do. But then, one drawback of these wheelchairs – esp. manually-operated ones – they don’t work best in inclined places. In this instance, wheelchairs cause a rollback because they cannot be controlled well.For your information, folks, this problem has already been solved. With introduction of Easy Climb, our disabled loved ones will not need much effort to get through inclines. What’s with Easy Climb that it has become one of most sought-after products in wheelchair industry? According to article “Easy Climb” by Yuelin which was posted on December 30, 2004 at www.coolbusinessideas.com, Easy Climb is an incline anti-rollback system for wheelchairs, developed to fill a need for manually-operated wheelchairs to negotiate inclines without roll-back. It will allow extra freedom to wheelchair users, help to conserve their energy, increase their safety, and lower their frustration level as they negotiate inclines. An increase in self-sufficiency for wheelchair users will be obtained by using it as there will be less need for assistance when operating on inclines.

I do like refreshing sense of humor wintermute2_0 has shown in blog he posted at http://www.the19thfloor.net/archives/2005_01.html on January 19, 2005 with regards to Breaking Taboos. He seems to be a person who had completely accepted his disability and is totally oblivious with people who are being too careful around disabled ones, especially with regards to sexuality. He seems to have completely overcome his shortcomings as a disabled person and have reconciled completely with whole matter. As such, he can really talk about all aspects of becoming disabled and all factors about it. Conducting a speech for Hamline students on disability issues is a tough thing to do. The tough thing about it is that you, as a disabled person, unfolding your personal experiences to total strangers and handle your discussion with a sense of normalcy is quite an unnerving experience. You must have a lot of courage and enough acceptance of your life as it is now in order to draw out lessons from it and share it on other people. Why, people who are aren’t that tactful enough may gawk at you or laugh at what had befallen you. But wintermute2_0 seem to get along just fine. In fact he’s already on his second year of talks with classes of students.
