Accessible Apartment Hacks (Episode 15) - Duration: 11:51.
Our Wheel World
*barks*
Hello You Tube
Hi everybody
We're back
we're back, we've been recovering from England, getting back to
Life
life, and thinking about what kind of content we want to keep doing on Our Wheel World
Cuz we do want to keep doing it, and to that end, we bought ourselves a brand new camera
mhhmmm, we are now shooting on the G9X from Cannon and we think the quality is going to be a lot better
And it will also give us more reason to keep making awesome videos
ya, so we have a bunch of stuff we want to talk about,
but today we're going to talk about how we made our non-accessible apartment accessible
cuz we've had this question before from people and there are a lot of factors to consider
and even though we've been here for 5 years, it's not perfect
there's a lot of problems still
This unit was not designed for accessibility
It has a lot of advantages, but also a lot of drawbacks
so we're going to talk a little bit about that, MTV cribs style
ya we're going to show you our crib
Our accessible crib!
Our accessible crib!
One of the first things we had to do in terms of choosing an apartment building
Obviously was make sure that it was one where the front entrance didn't have a step
Now one of the not ideal parts about this building, even though the entrance is, obviously accessible,
Is that to get to it you have to go up this really really steep driveway
There are alternative entrances to this building, but they are not accessible
So Tim is in a power chair that he can go up and down that driveway
But we have friends in manual chairs who really struggle
and in the winter when its icy, its pretty much a death trap
so that is one trade off that we had to make
So also, when we first moved into the building, they had this door button opener
because obviously Tim couldn't really open the door on his own
So this door was automatic, but oddly enough (let's see if it will focus)
The second door wasn't
Which would still mean that Tim couldn't get in
So we actually asked the building to install a door opener for this second door and they did
legally, they sort of have to, they put up no argument against that
Another accessible thing we looked for was multiple elevators, our building has 3
3 seems to be the magic number
we've never had all 3 go down, we've had 2 go down, and that's frustrating
but at least we're not entirely stuck
So another thing that's not ideal about our apartment is that we live on the 18th floor
which is kind of nice for the view, but ideally we would be on a ground floor
So that if we had to evacuate, or the elevators broke down, Tim could actually get out
that's not something we were able to do when we were looking for apartments, it really limits your options
So its another part of an un ideal situation, but one we've been fine with
Ya, i mean as Natalie said, its tough in terms of needing to evacuate
but touch wood, we haven't had to do that yet
So another thing we had to think about was how Tim was going to be able to open our unit door
So we have a solution, it doesn't always work, lets see if it works this time.
Oh, it worked, there we go, see it automatically opens
so we can come inside, here is our messy apartment, but that is ok
So obviously, the door button opener was not here when we moved in
we installed something ourselves that was not very good
and eventually we lobbied our landlord again to say that they needed to install this automatic door opener
because we claimed it was a rights issue
which it was
and said that everybody else has the ability of access into their units, and Tim doesn't
and its a big company, and you know what, they just did it
Tim has this button on his tray that he can press to open the door
Or for anyone who is inside, they just have to push this
and the door will open just like any other door that you would find in public
Ok so here we are in our dark bedroom because we wanted to show you a newer accessibility feature that we've added
It's not crucial, but its certainly nice, and Tim can demonstrate
Alexa, Bedroom On
We got ourselves an amazon Alexa
An Amazon Echo
An Amazon Echo, and we have added Phillips Hue wifi controlled lights throughout the apartment
and that allows Tim to control all the lights, well it allows anybody to control all the lights with just our voice, which is really nice
We can do the whole apartment on...
We can say, Alexa All Lights On
And they will all come on like so
A way to control lights is really important, we actually always had some way to control lights
We had a remote, we had iPhone controlled lights for a while, but would you say that the voice activated is the best?
Oh absolutely, Alexa is a great new addition to our life, she can also tell jokes
And also little things, like for a long time, Tim can't really see, like when he's lying in bed, he can't see a clock
and he can't pick up his iPhone to look like we might because its on the bedside table
So I used to ask her
He used to wake me up to ask me what time it was to make sure that he wasn't late for work, but now
Alexa, what's the time?
[electronic voice] The time is 3:34pm
Thank you
So that's a nice little bonus as well
That is really helpful actually in the mornings
So another feature that we had to install in our apartment to make it accessible, you saw some of this in our England videos
but this is a ceiling lift, with a track
Ceiling lifts are not cheap, and there is no funding for them, they are about 5,000 dollars
I used to work for the company, so I got a bit of a discount
The tracks themselves are relatively cheap, but you also have to pay for instillation
When I say cheap I mean like a couple hundred dollars, another couple hundred to install them
Another thing to consider when looking at apartments is space to get in and out of doors
And to be honest ours is a little bit tight
So Tim has a pretty good turning radius
But you can see, its not without some
markings
collateral damage
This might be a problem for some people but Tim has learned to live with it, its not ideal, but it's definitely usable.
Tim would have a bit of a harder time coming into this back bedroom here, but he doesn't really use it so it's not of huge concern
But having 2 bedrooms is another consideration we needed in finding an apartment
one because if I go out of town, Tim needs to have someone stay over with him at night
so we need to have something...somewhere for somebody else to sleep
I suppose that could be a sofa bed
but I also needed an office space for myself, and I also like to have my own space in the apartment when Tim has attendants here and whatnot
so again, maybe not crucial, but it felt pretty crucial for us to have a second bedroom as well.
So one of biggest factors we had to consider when moving into a non-accessible apartment was how Tim was going to shower
and for anybody who knows us, they know of the good ol' Tub Buddy
It has seen better days, but we are still using it
essentially we found this piece of equipment, that we crowd sourced, actually back before crowd sourcing was even really a thing
because it was about 3 thousand dollars that we didn't have
so essentially what this does, i'm not going to show you Tim actually taking a shower,
But in the bedroom Tim goes from the bed, you can see my bear there, to this Tub Buddy system here
and then his attendant, let's see if I can do this where it makes any sense
is going to push him in this chair, down the hallway
Our bathroom is extraordinarily small, and in fact the door width was so small that we had to take the door off
to give us enough inches for the Tub Buddy to fit in
So as you can see, we have no bathroom door, which is a bit of a bone of contention for me
And instead we've had this curtain for about 5 years
So his attendants will push him in this chair to right about here
You can see there is a piece that fits in the bathtub, which I also have to move around when I shower
And essentially, i'm not going to do it all, but there is a bridge that connects these two pieces, and Tim can then slide over into the shower
to take a shower
Accessible bathrooms are one of the biggest concerns for a disabled person trying to fit into an non-accessible space
This is the solution we came up with. Unfortunately the Tub Buddy is quite broken all these years later
There's no more breaks, a lot of the fittings on this piece don't work anymore, we're down to sort of one suction cup, so hope it sticks
and the cost of a Tub Buddy has now gone up to about 6 thousand dollars that we don't have, and we can't find any funding for
So I hope to make another video in the future talking about the problems with acquiring vital equipment
because i'd say that showering is pretty vital
But this is the situation we have. It does allow Tim to shower in this very non accessible bathroom
and it's what's working for us right now
So we hope you liked our video about our accessible apartment
There are probably some other things that we aren't even thinking about, but I think we covered the majority of things that make this accessible
and if you have any questions, let us know
And thank you to everyone who has subscribed
we've been getting new subscribers even though we haven't posted a video in a while so that's
That's really cool
that's really cool and it gives us a reason to keep going and keep making videos
So thank you to everyone, share this with your friends and get them to subscribe and we'd love to see you on our channel

Home Remedies for Constipation - StayHealthyTV - Duration: 6:30.
Home Remedies for Constipation Don't you just hate it when your bowels
seem to stop working and you feel so blocked up!
We've all been there!
Sure, over the counter medicines can be very effective but here's the good news: home
remedies can also help you get much needed relief (no pun intended).
Today, StayHealthyTV will tell you 8 of the best natural remedies for constipation.
These tips are the go-to solution our family turns to for immediate constipation relief.
If you want to know how to relieve constipation naturally, then keep watching our vid!
Here we go:
1.
Water As obvious as it sounds, drink more water.
Hard, dry stools are a common cause of constipation, so the more water you add, the easier it will
be to pass the stool.
But remember this: avoid coffee, soda and alcohol while you're experiencing constipation
because they are diuretics.
Diuretics dehydrate your body by causing fluid loss through increased urination.
This may make constipation worse.
2.
Fibre Eat more fibre.
Fibre is a natural laxative.
It increases the water content of your stool and helps bulk it up.
This will help your bowel movement move more quickly and smoothly through your colon.
Abruptly changing your fibre intake can cause gas and bloating, so gradually increase your
dietary fibre intake over a few meals
And I am sure we all know about this one!
3.
Prunes And for those that don't?
Eat prunes!
Prunes are high in fibre, so they are a good choice for increasing your fibre intake.
They also contain sorbitol, a stool-loosening sugar that naturally helps relieve constipation.
4.
Olive Oil Take a tablespoon of olive oil before eating
breakfast in the morning.
As a nutrient-dense oil, this natural cure stimulates the digestive tract.
It also lubricates the bowels and provides antioxidant protection at the same time.
5.
Probiotics Yogurt and kefir make for an excellent breakfast,
whether it's consumed as is, or mixed with your favourite breakfast cereal or grain-free
granola.
Friendly bacteria encourage healthy bowels which translates to easier evacuation.
Increased frequency, better stool consistency, and a reduced digestive transit time have
all been observed with individuals who consume probiotics.
6 Beans Rich in fibre, a meal containing beans shares
many similar benefits as one containing prunes, but one things for sure, the fibre keeps stool
soft, and the protein has added benefits for growth and repair of bodily tissues.
Beans also possess nutrients essential for muscle health and function.
For many people, beans may be easier to incorporate into their daily meal plans than prunes.
7.
Magnesium-Rich Foods Magnesium is essential to muscle health and
the movement of food along the digestive tract.
Low magnesium consumption has been associated with an increased incidence of constipation.
Adequate magnesium intake directs water to the bowels, keeping the stool soft and easier
to move.
Green leafy vegetables like spinach, nuts, and fish are high in magnesium.
8.
Baking Soda and Warm Water Mix one teaspoon of baking soda in a quarter
cup of warm water.
This mixture is said to relieve pain and pressure associated with constipation, and the bicarbonate
is believed to reduce symptoms associated with heartburn.
The quicker you finish drinking, the better it seems to work.
So that's our best 8 constipation home remedies.
But wait!
We're not finished yet!
Here are 4 more, additional, helpful tips: 1.
Avoid cheese and dairy products.
Cheese and dairy products usually contain lactose, which can cause gas, bloating, and
constipation for some people.
If you're having trouble with constipation, cut cheese and most other dairy products out
of your diet until you're feeling better.
2.
One of the causes of constipation occurs most often because people don't have enough fibre
and/or water in their diet.
Constipation can also occur as a result of too little exercise, or it can be a side effect
of a number of different drugs.
3.
Everyone experiences this phenomenon from time to time, but the good news is there are
a number of safe, gentle and natural remedies to both relieve and prevent constipation.
With some minor adjustments to your daily routine, you can deal with this problem inexpensively
and in the privacy of your own home.
4.
Natural remedies and lifestyle changes can help you deal with constipation now, and prevent
it from reoccurring later.
If you are dealing with recurring constipation and if none of the methods outlined above
help, see a healthcare professional.
Are there any other natural methods you use for constipation?
Please share your comments with us below, we would love to hear from you.

[2017 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION] Meet the Candidates: #3 Ahn Cheol-soo - Duration: 10:44.
It's just eleven days away: The day South Koreans will head to the polls to elect a
new president.
It's a snap presidential election that precipitated from the impeachment of an ex-president over
an alleged bribery scandal.
To help you better analyze each candidate and their policy pledges, we've been meeting
with the leading contenders this week.
And, based on the number of parliamentary seats...
Today, I sit down with Ahn Cheol-soo, presidential nominee of the People's Party.
I want to get a bit personal with this question.
So, you are a medical doctor, a software programmer, an IT entrepreneur - a very successful one,
too - a university professor, and a politician.
That's unusual in and of itself but now, you're running to take
on one of the toughest jobs I can think of especially now than ever.
The president of the Republic of Korea.
Why?
When I was working at a university as a professor, a student came to see me one day.
As he confided in me his worries, he shed tears.
I jumped into politics because I no longer wanted see young Koreans cry.
It was then that I made up my mind to do my part in making this country a better place
to live.
The Korean peninsula at the moment is under the international radar.
There's been a rapid escalation of tensions in this part of the world.
Continuous provocations by the North Korean regime.
What is your policy vis-a-vis Pyongyang?
Ahn: Right.
The most critical issue facing the Republic of Korea today is North Korea's nuclear program.
In order to resolve this important security issue, we must work with our ally, the United
States.
But, there is also the China factor.
I believe it is only right for South Korea to actively explain our situation to China.
That much diplomatic effort must be made.
We need to explain to China that when it comes to security issues, it's only natural for
us to work with the U.S. and our allies and that tensions on the Korean peninsula will
only mean harm for China's national interest as well.
Therefore, for the sake of both Korea and China, we should take a two-track approach
in separating the economy and national security.
I think this should be the ultimate goal for Korea's diplomacy.
On the diplomatic front - South Korea not in the best situation currently.
There is a new president in the White House - very different from the last president with
a seemingly different approach to the North Korea issue.
There is China to the north, in a clash of interest with South Korea.
How would you best situate yourself so that South Korea puts the best foot forward in
this complex relationship?
Looking back in history, the Korean peninsula suffered every time there was a change in
dynamics between the superpowers.
We're at the juncture of a change in dynamics right now and I believe the Republic of Korea
has emerged as an attractive middle power.
Not only are we now able to pioneer our own destiny, I believe we can even play an active
mediator role in U.S., China conflict.
As for U.S. President Donald Trump, he and I are both businessmen and alumni of Wharton
School of Business.
I'm sure we will have a lot in common as soon as we kick off our dialogue.
Such is the case for China, as well.
I went school in the U.S. and I've done business in China and Japan.
I've worked on various projects with the Chinese government.
I will make the best use of such experience and try to take a leading role in our diplomatic
relations with the U.S. and China.
Economic growth and jobs.
I think it's an issue that comes up every election season and not only here but all
across the globe.
Having been a young entrepreneur yourself, having been a CEO of a startup… having been
part of that world yourself, do you have a blueprint of how you would steer Asia's fourth-largest
economy so that the benefits will trickle down to the ordinary people, too?
Different politicians have varying views on the role politics cay play on the economy.
Some say, "I will revive the economy.
I will create jobs."
I disagree with them.
If politics could directly boost the economy, how can we explain Japan's 20-year-long recession
even after injecting all that money?
I do not believe it's something politics can do.
In other words, it's the private sector that can create jobs or boost the economy.
The government's role is to create a strong foundation on which the private sector and
companies can perform well.
Then, what is that foundation?
I believe it's the following three: One, nurturing creative minds through the right kind of education.
Two, proper investment in science and technology so that we can possess leading-edge science
and technology.
And, three, creating an environment where fair competition is possible and anyone with
talent and capability can succeed.
#CG1 CG
1.
Education reform to nurture creative minds 2.
Proper investment in science and technology 3.
Environment that allows fair competition
If we can create such an environment where there are plenty of talented minds, leading-edge
science and technology and fair competition, many Koreans will be hopeful enough to take
on new challenges.
This, I believe, will breathe life into the economy.
This is my vision of the government's role in revitalizing the Korean economy.
Now, my final question - a common question to all candidates.
What is your edge over others?
Why does the Republic of Korea need Ahn Cheol-soo as president in 2017?
You cannot become the president of a country because you want the job.
Nor is it handed to you because you're prepared for the job.
It's only when you are demanded by the age, the era that you become the president.
Only when the people decide that you are the one who can properly reflect and realize the
spirit of that age, are you given presidency.
Then, what do the Korea people want from the next administration?
I believe it's these three.
One, a government that can best prepare the country for the future.
Two, a competent government.
And, three, one that can unite the people, the country.
#CG2 CG
1.
Government that can best prepare for the future 2.
Government that is competent and capable 3.
Government that can unite the people, the country
We are now in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
One characteristic of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is that it's unpredictable.
Therefore, it can easily head in the wrong direction if the government creates a plan
beforehand and lead that way.
Rather, this is the age where the government's role is to provide support from the behind.
Instead of making decisions for the private sector and taking the lead, the government
should give them independence and freedom to make their business decisions and the government
back them up.
This is the kind of government that best prepares for the future.
The same applies to government competence.
Proficiency isn't something you can just verbally claim.
Rather, the presidential candidate must be able to prove his or her competence by their
past achievements.
I am a medical doctor, information technology scientist, entrepreneur, and professor-turned-politician.
I have proven my competence in all five areas.
I have written success stories in all five.
These will serve as a yardstick in deciding which government led by which candidate will
be most capable.
Voters should be able to learn what all presidential candidates have achieved and how they have
proven their competence.
It should be written into a chart as these are objective facts.
Finally, a government that unites all people isn't one that tries to make others believe
in what it believes.
Democracy is acknowledging that people have different views and through constant communication
and democratic process, a decision is drawn up.
And, that decision is respected and accepted.
What is democracy?
It's the wisdom to live with people who have different views.
From that perspective, I believe a candidate who is trapped in political faction cannot
break free from those boundaries.
Instead of uniting the country, he/she will further divide people.
I don't think it's too difficult to judge which candidate is part of a specific faction
and which candidate can properly unite the nation.
From that point of view, I believe these are the three keywords for the next administration:
Future, competence, and unity.
If that is the case, I am confident that I am the right person for the job.
Ahn: Yea.
Ahn: Thank you.
