Vodafone Off Track download (audio/mpeg, 2.74Mb) Description: 3/4/2010 Paul Hopkins asks you to consider signing the petition at www.talknav.com/protes t, and has posted the audio version of the promo here in order for you to consider the importance of doing so. �Basically, �Vodafone has purchased Wayfinder which includes Wayfinder access only to announce without any consultation that they are not developing the software. Wayfinder Access is an inportant GPS solution for blind users of Nokia phones. � He is gathering signatures and comments at the site to present to Vodafone with a view to meeting them and asking as to whether there are any options for the Visually Impaired community to further develop the product. � Paul says that signing up and leaving a comment is of the utmost importance, because allowing a company to make such arbitrary decisions without consultation of the VI community leaves the door open for them to further undermine their own services to us in the future. � Paul concludes with a final plea to seriously consider telling: �Friends; colleagues; family; VI organisations and so on wherever you live in the world as Wayfinder Access is available globally and in some countries is the only accessible SatNav option available to blind people! 2.7 MB

14. Physical Fitness For You download (audio/mpeg, 50.10Mb) Description: 2/16/2010 Debee Armstrong explains that 1950s fitness guru Bonnie Prudden was an accomplished mountain climber and licensed physical therapist. Long before weight training and aerobics, she popularized a vigorous form of calisthenics to improve body strength and flexibility. Many of these practices are out of fashion today and some are downright dangerous for a body in poor physical condition. Unlike Prudden, it's now considered that "no pain, no gain" is a myth, so listeners are cautioned to avoid any exercises here that cause excessive pain or seem unsafe. After hiring a young, competent and very fit blind person as her administrative assistant, she began working with blind children in an effort to combat their deplorable state of physical fitness. One result of her work is this rare recording of TB528, withdrawn many years ago by NLS. Recorded in 1964 in the studios of AFB by Ms. Prudden herself, it consisted of three talking book records which played at 16 RPM. Debee dubbed these records on to cassette in 1974 and has now produced this MP3 excerpt from that recording. The original talking-book contains an extended essay on why exercise is so beneficial, and why fitness is crucial for the blind. After every 8 exercises or so, there is a musical interlude with Bonnie leading the exercises. That music, due to its poor audio quality, was eliminated from this recording. However this excerpt contains the majority of the exercises she describes in this rare talking book: "Physical Fitness For You". 50.1 MB
