Where Can I Get Silver's 90210 Prom Dress

What wheelchair? Come back tomorrow

M Lobato

First way to travel from Madrid to Estepona. Buy a bus ticket, presented in time Méndez Álvaro station, get in the car, little movie, stopping for sandwich, perhaps ; a little nap ... Total: 7 hours of travel, 618 miles and 25 euros. Second way: buy a bus ticket, submitted on time in the season, failing to get on the first bus, or the second film did not see or stop for the sandwich, or siesta. Total: more than 24 hours, 25 euros (the same) and not one kilometer. Yesterday, Manuel Lobato had to settle for second choice. Because

Lobato, 50, paraplegic, wanted to travel with your wheelchair on the bus company Daibús, Ladies group. There was no ramp to climb and room for him to travel, but sent his brother to confirm your booking over the counter. After several failed options, a reclamacióny multiple visits to the window, he said that to: you again tomorrow. "I knew it was not all me, but wanted to try," he said yesterday the man at the box office Daibús. Sitting on the floor, her two children, Martha, 19, and Alberto, 14, who also stayed on the ground without his plan to start by year's end.

Marta sighs when asked if the travel problems are common. "We've spent a lot of times, a lot, there's always a catch," he said. Alberto, sitting beside her, without saying anything sight. And his father detailing the litany of waiting on trains, planes, taxis and other vehicles will travel in a wheelchair.

hoped that this time was different, but no luck. Manuel Lobato, who lives with his family in Logroño, bought three tickets for two weeks. Normally, traveling by train or plane but decided on the intercity bus for the first time because the company promised. Daibús offers 100% of the fleet equipped with tail lift for wheelchair access wheelchair and says on its web page that have a designated parking space per trip. Confident, the traveler came to the station yesterday with tickets in hand an hour before he left his bus. Started up the people and the driver said he was on the ground, the ramp did not work, that booking your place is debíaa "human failure." And Lobato was planted in the back of the bus tried to stop so they do not come out. "I was out of the way the police," said hours later. "They've lifted the weight, chair and all," adds his daughter. Rose to the ticket office and asked for another ticket.

First he promised to ride the bus one afternoon. Then he said he tried at night. "I refused, my health will not let me," he explains. And filed a claim in the window where he watched a worker yesterday faced circumstances across the glass. Daibús A spokeswoman declined to comment on the complaint of Lobato. "We will respond when we get the claim," he said. The family have provided other tickets this morning. Again at eleven o'clock. Without compensation by waiting, he said.

was not alone in the station. Lobato is a member of the Forum for Independent Living, a group that some 800 members who struggle for visibility of disability. Javier Romañach, one of the partners, was yesterday Méndez Álvaro station. "All I'm saying is that laws should be enforced and in our case is systematic failure," he says. Royal Decree 1544/2007, which regulates the accessibility for disabled people in transport, provides intercity buses should have seat reservations for the disabled, 6% of the population have disabilities related to mobility, according to the INE, and vehicles must include access for those traveling with their own chair.

"Ultimately we assume that we can not travel because it happens all the same, good words and a father and two children lying in the street," he adds. "The transport is a serious problem," adds to your Alberto Rodriguez, Cocemfe (English Confederation of People with Disabilities Fí Music and Organic). "It is improving reach the necessary adjustments gradually, but when a damaged ramp take long until the fix, "he adds. "The media companies promise but would need to have all adapted their fleet." Independent Living Forum Cocemfe receive complaints "continuous" because of problems with transport. Lobato complaints like that, if I take the bus, has lost more than a day to travel from Madrid to Estepona.

International Congress on Information Technology Accessibility and support for Dependents 'ableTech'08'


A dependent must overcome daily barriers often invisible to those who do not suffer any physical or mental disability. Fortunately, in recent years the technology has focused much of its efforts to find ways to improve the quality of life of this group. The result of that commitment, embodied in art products, it can measure up to today in the first International Conference on Technologies for Access and support for Dependents 'ableTech'08', organized by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and the company Tecnalia in the BEC in Barakaldo.

Event organizers claimed that "Congress is not a utopian or science fiction," but at times it seems. Products displaying the sample or just beginning the process of commercialization or are under development, so many raises great expectations. Among the mills

fresh from the market in Spain, highlights 'MyTobii', a computer with eye-tracking program that allows the user to move the mouse eye. First, a camera, captures the visual movements. And from there, the person can chat, select your favorite music and check your emails infrared to a computer. To select the appropriate icons just have to stare a few seconds on them. "It's a great product for people with disabilities, which can be attached to the wheelchair," explained Ivan Wall of Techonology AB Tobii.

Still in the computer industry, visitors can test mice that work with head movements and breaths, computers that put voice to the words and keyboards that are managed with one hand. Other newly released products containing a radio frequency motion detector that prevents Alzheimer's disease or other dementia cross the threshold of the doors that lead to dangerous areas of nursing. The elders are wearing a wristband that emits an alarm when approaching a prohibited item. The range of the device can reach 150 meters.

The house under control

The show proves that you can make the home more accessible for elderly and disabled with a system that eliminates the step of the shower. Already been installed "over 100" in the Basque Country, specifically a company spokesman OSOA Guipuzcoa. In addition, there are gadgets never seen before in Spain, as the 'Oseomatic', a machine that "regenerates bone mass" of patients with osteoporosis or with difficulty walking across a platform that induces a gentle motion plays the roll when walking. In three months will go on sale.

By mid-2009 will enter the market a 'scooter' SUV equipped with a GPS system that enables users with cognitive problems "go to buy bread or visiting a family member" without getting lost. The vehicle reaches 16 mph, also allows the families of the sick "to know where you are at all times." At that time could be ready the first integrated smart home, which will handle lights, alarms, shutters and doors with a PDA or through the set. In case of fire, gas leak or flood, the system will alert the police directly.

But the most ambitious project is to combine housing and the robot domotic people friendly "early-stage Alzheimer's." Currently only works a simple version of the android in the German commercial centers, but a consortium of English, French and English under the supervision of the University of Reading is preparing the technology mix. The robot will save the user's key, it asks if you are in pain, alert the emergency services and will support for the patient to communicate with their families via video conferencing. The future of man's best friend will be operational in 2011.

Presario Coprocessore

Cars-on-demand for people with reduced mobility

perfectly suited Get a car is a much simpler and cheaper than we might suppose. At a time when you can choose the genes of an unborn child, it is inconceivable not offer a solution "to the letter" to the mobility problems experienced by people with disabilities. However, there is still a long way to go.

adapted test car. Merlo Bruno, who is paraplegic, to tell him their views on board an Alfa 147 2.0 Selespeed adapted.

The car has proven Bruno whose images you see in the gallery, has a Selespeed sequential shift-paddles on the steering wheel and has an adaptation by Guidosimplex. The gas pedal is pressed from a double wheel, while the brake is actuated by a lever that are on the right of the steering wheel.

Shifting gears automatically as the Selespeed transmission or the driver can do "manually" in two ways: by the cams on the steering wheel or by pushing the shifter forward (gear up) or backward (reduces relations).

Bruno still has little power in their hands, so that the cam change is not useful: no can pull together in these controls. However, it can push the lever to insert relationships.

Our protagonist was an instant quadriplegic after injuring his cervical vertebra 6 for almost five years, while bathing on a beach in Guatemala and a wave crashed into her neck. Along these lines, we provide a link to your website and then offer you the summary of his experiences on board the Alfa 147 adapted.

"extremely sporty interior car with very comfortable when you're inside, but a little difficult to enter. The fully automatic mode is not worth it. I think it's an outrage that you have to raise the car at 7,000 rpm to change alone. However, the sequence is very comfortable, gives a quick answer, athletic and very nice. The shift mode with steering wheel paddles I have not tried, because of my injury I have still a little weak hands. The cornering stability and engine response in unforeseen situations is excellent.
