【推荐1】“For years, I found myself walking less and less. As I got older, aches and pains in my back and legs caused me to stay in my chair, watching TV... and watching life go by. My doctor told me to be more active, and I tried. I tried canes and walkers... and I hated them. Dragging myself along, bent over, looking at the ground two feet in front of me — that didn’t seem like a fun way to get around. Then, one day, a friend introduced me to the Perfect Walker. Nothing is going to stop me now! ”
Join millions of older Americans who are rediscovering the joy of walking!
The Perfect Walker is an innovative mobility device that can change your life. It enables you to stand upright when you walk — with your spine straight and your eyes looking straight ahead. Your weight is supported by your upper arms and shoulders, some of the strongest parts of your body. Traditional walkers force you to put the pressure of your body weight on your hands and wrists. You push them in front of you, looking at the ground instead of where you are going. The Perfect Walker moves with you, with your feet free to walk in a normal fashion. Its easy height-adjust system allows it to be the perfect height for anyone from 4’9” to 6’2” and supports up to 300 pounds. The new stand assist handles enable you to distribute your weight across your arms and shoulders, not your hands and wrists, to help reduce back, neck, wrist pain and discomfort. It features comfortable arm pads, hand brakes, a fold-down seat and storage area with a backrest. It’s built with aircraft-grade aluminum to be strong yet lightweight, and its streamlined design and oversized wheels make it perfect for walking in the yard.
Why spend another day bent over and dragging yourself around — or worse yet, lying in front of the TV all day? Pick up the phone and take back your life.

【推荐1】Best Overall: LectroFan EVO Sound Machine
Why You Should Get ItThis compact, stylish, and affordable white noise machine is very easy to use. With a timer, a headphone connector, and a large range of sounds, you’ll be able to find the right set up for you. That’s where it comes in to mask all that unwanted environmental noise—or lack of—so you can get more rest.
Keep in MindThe device isn’t battery-operated, so it’ll need to stay plugged into a power source.
It does everything you need it to, and then some, for a very reasonable price. It plays non-repeating digital noise in a range of colors: It has 10 fan sounds, 10 environmental noise sounds—including pink and brown noise, and two ocean soundscapes.
The device is super simple to use, and once you’ve picked your favorite type of noise, it will be saved in the settings, and the machine will auto play that sound each time you turn it on. The speaker produces a clear and crisp sound, and there’s a wide volume range. It also comes with an optional timer you can set between one to eight hours, or play continuously, plus a 3.5mm connector for headphones if your partner isn’t quite as keen on white noise as you are.
It’s compact enough to travel everywhere with you, and as white noise machines go, it looks pretty good, too. It certainly won’t look out of place on your bedside table. You can power the LectroFan EVO via USB or the included A/C adaptor, but it doesn’t have an internal battery, so it does need to be plugged in.
Price at time of publish: $35Product Details: Dimensions: It’s 4.7 inches long and 3. 3 inches in height. Its width is the same as its length. | Sound options: 22 | Timer: Yes | Power: Plug-in

【推荐3】Welcome to Greyhound Lines! Feel free to explore the bus features.
We want you to feel at home when you travel with us. So our buses have plenty of features to help you relax, like comfy leather seats and lots of legroom (plus free Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment and power outlets so you can still be an armchair surfer).
Free Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is free on all our buses, for all passengers. We see it as a must-have these days, not a premium(高级的) feature. So go ahead, check your emails or Instagram window scenery from the road (we’d love if you tag it). Please don’t stream video during your journey, though - we’ve all got to share the bandwidth(宽带)!
Personal Power Outlets
Nearly every seat has its own standard power outlet, so you can keep your devices charged all the way to your destination. Getting off with a fully charged phone is extra handy if you’re navigating around a new place.
Extra Legroom
When designing our new and updated buses, we actually removed a whole row of seats rather than trying to squeeze more in. So there’s always space to stretch out when you ride with Greyhound. (Our bus designers must have been really tall.)
Eco-friendly
Every Greyhound bus is fully equipped with the latest technology to burn fuel cleanly, reducing our impact on the environment. Check out the Going Green page for more of our eco-efforts, and techy facts on things like low-sulfur fuel.
