The older I get the more grateful I am that technology has provided many more options for mobility. Idaho Falls, Idaho.
This was built for a souped-up moblity scooter owned by an elderly customer of ours. Pull a release catch to lower back the tray, and it will stand back up and lock into place as the scooter is loaded on. We dabbled in trailers for a little while, but no longer - it's all trolleys these days!

This couple made me smile. The ladies mobility buggy had run out of battery power so the man had been pushing her along the pavement with his : )
I liked their England bumper stickers as well.
Why are mobility scooters nearly always metallic red?

The built in cable lock is an integral part of the bicycle's structure. Cut the lock and the bike is not ridable. To repair this cable, the Puma certified bike shop will only repair the bike for certified owners of the bike.

U.S. Army Africa’s G-4 Mobility Division added a sophisticated piece of equipment to its inventory recently that will augment the command’s ability to deploy and re-deploy a wide range of vehicles and cargo in short order.
The arrival at Vicenza of the Deployable Automated Cargo Measurement System (DACMS) drew more than a dozen logistics professionals from Army Africa and the U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza Directorate of Logistics to a briefing, demonstration and hands-on training at Caserma Ederle Aug. 30.
“What we learned last year during exercise Natural Fire 10 is that U.S. Army Africa may be supported by National Guard and Reserve units,” said Alex Menzies, USARAF, G-4 Mobility Division, Air Branch. Many units deploy without their unit movement officers, said Menzies, so Army Africa needs the capability to process and move equipment in country, often in remote locations and under austere conditions.
“This will help us with our through-put at any node, any APOD or SPOD (Aerial Port or Seaport of Disembarkation). With that set-up, you’re saving a lot of time,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Terry Throm, G-4 mobility warrant officer.
Lacking tools such as the DACMS made re-deployment of equipment a time-consuming and, occasionally, an iffy proposition.
“We did it the old-fashioned way, with pen and pencil and spreadsheet. We decided we needed the equipment … to be self-sufficient,” Throm said.
The DACMS, which consists of two-laser enabled reading posts and a set of digital, floor-pad sensors, is marketed by Intercomp Weighing of Medina, Minn., and costs $127,000. It electronically measures key data points and automatically enters them into electronic load planning systems, Menzies said.
The latest in vehicle processing technology, the unit is being fielded throughout U.S. military force projection platform locations, including Ramstein, Germany, and Aviano, Italy, said Menzies.
Its efficiency will reduce Installation Staging Area processing time significantly and minimize the deploying organization’s manpower requirements, he said.
“It alleviates a lot of the hands-on we have to do,” said Sgt. 1st Class Marina Dennis, USARAF G-4 Mobility NCOIC. “It cuts down a lot of the time.”
As if to make her point, garrison logistics personnel drove a trailer-bearing Highly Mobile, Multi-Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) through the electronic reading posts and over the weighing pads. Within 15 seconds, and without the vehicle operator having to come to a halt, the DACMS had measured and recorded its length, breadth, height, weight, number of axles and center of weight.
Army Africa is likely to put the unit to full use during exercises and training in the year ahead such as the 2011 episodes of Atlas Drop, Judicious Response and Natural Fire, said Menzies.
In addition to deploying the unit to the field, Army Africa can make the DACMS available to other commands and units in Vicenza, for instance the 173rd Airborne Brigade or the garrison Directorate of Logistics, said Throm.
And when it comes to going mobile, The DACMS can fit on a standard Air Force load pallet and be moved quickly to wherever it is needed.
“It’s part of our fly-away kit,” said Menzies.
“We’re hoping it’s a system for the 21st century,” said Throm.

The bottom floor of the tree room is much more accessible than it was the last time I was there. I went expecting to see a gravely path leading to a hobbit door. It now has the wooden path on the left. Much more accessible, but still not accessible to those in a wheelchair.
On the right are the three levels of the tree room: bottom floor, top floor, and the tree outgrowing the building. The tree contained in the room will find a way to be mobile, to move out of its space, no matter what.

Estudiante Erasmus procedente de Macerata (Italia) en la Escuela Universitaria de Turismo de Lanzarote (EUTL).
En este semestre recibimos a la estudiante Chiara Sangiovanni, procedente de la universidad de Macerata, con la que la EUTL tiene convenio.
Nuestro centro es consciente de la importancia de dotar al profesional del turismo de un perfil internacional, no sólo por el evidente componente idiomático que comporta, sino también, por la influencia positiva que ejerce en el estudiante el intercambio e interrelación con culturas diferentes, tanto a nivel profesional como personal.
