Stay Safe in the Kitchen! Avoid Burns with Stay Cool Pot Grip and Oven Rack Guards
If you’ve ever inadvertently touched a hot pot handle or oven rack, you know how painful burns can be. But help is here, as two great new products available at www.MaxiAids.com offer an added measure of safety when you are cooking.
A secure, convenient alternative to traditional potholders and oven mitts, the Stay Cool Grip was designed to fit over a range of handle sizes, allowing you to safely handle hot pots and pans. Simply slip it over the pot handle and you’ll be able to get a good grip without worrying about getting burned. Made of durable heavy-duty silicone, it is heat resistant to 482° F and is dishwasher safe. It costs $6.95.
The Cool Touch™ Oven Rack Guard offers protection against burns that can result if you accidentally touch or brush against hot oven racks. Made from fabric first developed for firefighters, the Oven Rack Guard protects you by slowing the heat transfer from metal oven racks to your skin. The 18” length provides extensive coverage on all standard oven racks. It’s safe up to 500° F and is machine washable. The cost for a package of 2 guards is $19.95.
Both items, as well as many more kitchen and cooking helpers may be seen and purchased at www.MaxiAids.com.

Keep Your Notebook Computer Screen Secure and Glare-Free
With the rise in popularity of notebook computers, an increasing amount of business is being conducted outside traditional corporate locations. For many salespeople, small business owners, consultants and freelancers, the local coffee shop has become an office. Pitches are being made and deals struck over restaurant lunches. In addition, many people are handling banking transactions and other personal business via their laptops.
But with the economy and convenience of these pseudo-offices, doing business in public locations can come at the risk of compromising the security of the information displayed on your laptop’s screen. Enter PrivacyWard, a privacy filter that, when placed on the LCD of your notebook computer, prevents anyone sitting to the side from seeing what’s on the screen.
PrivacyWard uses screen darkening privacy technology, rather than common blurring or distorting of screen data to prevent casual onlookers from viewing your screen. At the same time, the anti-glare filter blocks UV rays, giving you a crystal clear view of the screen and protecting both your eyes and the notebook display. Microlouver Privacy Technology allows those sitting directly in front of the notebook and within a 60-degree radius to see data on the screen clearly while blocking side views.
PrivacyWard is smudge-resistant, protects fragile surface of notebook screens from scuffs and scratches and is made of a durable 3-layer composite protective film. It’s easy to apply, clean and re-apply and comes in three sizes (15.4-inch, 17-inch and 19-inch), priced at $43.00, $46.00 and 49.00, respectively. Click on a size or visit www.MaxiAids.com for further information or to order.

Blind Hikers Climb Kilimanjaro, Set 2 World Records and Raise Money for Foundation for Blind Children’s Infant Program
The entire group of 25 hikers calling itself ‘Team Kili’ that had set out together was truly breathing rarified air as they reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, this past June 29th. The fact that nobody dropped out along the way is impressive. Even more impressive is that 8 of the hikers, including one that’s only 12 years old, are blind.
Part of the goal of the group was raising money to support the Infant Program of the Foundation for Blind Children in Arizona, in which 2 of the hikers had participated when they were youngsters. Along the way, they set two Guinness World Records: the largest group of blind climbers to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro and the youngest blind climber to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Congratulations to the entire team! Visit the Foundation for Blind Children website to read more about the climb, including the climber’s blogs. Visit www.MaxiAids.com to view a wide range of products to help the blind and those with low vision live more active, independent lives.

NEW PRODUCT ALERT! Walker Coasters Help You Glide Around Easily Using Your Walker
Replace the rubber tips, wheels and tennis balls on your walker legs with Walker Coasters! These useful replacement footpads smoothly glide over tile, linoleum and carpeted floors, as well as sidewalks, bumps, cracks and doorways.
Walker Coasters are a safer, cleaner alternative to the tennis balls many users place on walkers to help them see the walker’s legs and avoid stumbling or tripping. Where the soft covers of tennis balls tend to grab, especially on rough surfaces such as concrete, Walker Coasters glide over surfaces. And where tennis balls absorb water and collect debris, Walker Coasters shed both water and excess debris.
Walker Coasters are available at MaxiAids for $8.95/pair. They come in two colors: Bright White and Tennis Ball Yellow. Visit www.MaxiAids.com or call 1-800-522-6294 to order.

Researchers Explore Echolocation in Humans as an Aid for the Blind
The concept of human echolocation, the ability of humans to detect nearby objects by hearing the noises they make echo back from those objects, has been studied from as far back as the 1950’s. In the more recent past, blind individuals including Daniel Kish and Ben Underwood have become known for their largely self-taught echolocation abilities, whereby they navigate their surroundings by tapping their canes or making clicking noises with their mouths.
A team of researchers at the University of Alcalá de Henares in Spain in their continuing research of human echolocation has shown scientifically that humans can develop this ability, according to an article on www.sciencecodex.com. The team is constructing a series of protocols that may be used to help the blind develop their echolocation skills. Read the full story here.
