How To Inquire About Stairlift Costs In Rochester And Buffalo?

Mobility-challenged persons remain confined to their rooms or a single floor ordinarily. With restricted access, they often have to rely on family members or caregivers to lead an active life. Many elderly individuals are advised to move into a manageable home or assisted facility for better management f their lives. Unfortunately, such a move robs them of their physical and emotional well-being. One can always opt to have a quality stairlift installed by the side of the existing stairway. This does not come cheap, either. It thus makes sense to inquire about the stairlift costs in Rochester and Buffalo. ​ The prospective investor should not hope for an instant answer when inquiring about the coat. It is essential to understand that the same device may be available for varied costs that depend on multiple factors. Sure, the dealer has a say in pricing it as much as the manufacturer. It is essential to be convinced about the type of stairlift that is needed to fulfill the requirement.

The price of quality stair lifts is sure to vary according to the following criteria:-

· Weight Capacity- Sure, the buyer is usually overwhelmed by the appearance and tag lines of stairlift models to decide wisely. The customer needs to consider the model and brand and ask about a particular lift’s weight-bearing capacity. The stairlift must be able to carry the individual and even some possessions at a go. Many users prefer to carry their groceries to the upper floors and/or bring out the Christmas decorations from the basement. Using the stairlift to bring them to the right floor is an effective solution. The lift must be able to bear the weight without any trouble.

· Seat- The stairlift includes a comfortable seat that must be able to keep the user well-secured and comfortable during the ascension. There are various types of seats fixed with stair lifts. It is important to check each individually before opting for one that seems suitable. Some of the types that can make a difference to the experience of going up and down courtesy of the stairlift are:-

ü Swivel- The user can get out of the lift without any difficulty. It is the seat that can turn to facilitate easy movement. This feature becomes important for users suffering from back or hip pain. Moving into a mobility aid such as a wheelchair or grabbing a walker becomes simpler when the stair lift has a swivel seat.

ü Collapsible Seat- This kind of seat is coveted by consumers who have limited space by the side of the existing stairway. The seat may be folded and stored discretely, making space for other occupants who choose to climb the stairs.

Feast Days: Martinmas

Anthony Van Dyck ~ "St. Martin Dividing His Cloak" (c.1618)

Happy Martinmas!

Today marks the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, who was bishop there from 371 CE until his death in 397 CE. He is the patron saint of many things, including: against poverty, against alcoholism, the poor, cavalry, Buenos Aires, quartermasters, wool-weavers, soldiers, and tailors, as well as wine growers, makers, and sellers. Whew! He must be very busy.

Keep reading for info about his life, a snitch goose, where the word 'chapel' came from, and how to tell what the weather will be like at Christmas.

His Life

Much of what we know about Martin comes from his hagiographer, Sulpicius Severus, who includes some 'artistic license' that is common in chronicles of the time, and therefore must be taken with a grain of salt.

Martin was born anywhere from 316-336 CE in Savaria, now Szombathely, Hungary. His father was a senior officer in the Roman Army, and as such was given land in northern Italy for his retirement. At the age of 10, Martin attended a Christian church against the wishes of his parents, and became interested in Christianity. Because of his father's status as a veteran, he was required to join the cavalry at 15. Dates surrounding his military service are shaky, but Severus states that, during his time stationed in Gaul, he was riding on horseback when he encountered a poor man with threadbare clothes. Having compassion on him, Martin used his sword to cut his own woolen cloak in two and gave the other half to the man. That night, Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream, surrounded with angels and wearing half of the cloak. After this, Martin was baptised as a Christian. Though other miracles of his are recorded, this tale is the one most associated with Martin's life. It fits in with depictions of God or his angels in disguise as a beggar, traveller, &c., and is also a narrative found in many other religions and traditions. (Biblical examples include Abraham feeding the three angels in Genesis 18).

Martin dips from the army ~ fresco by Simone Martini (c.1320s)

With his new faith now firmly a part of his life, Martin decided to leave the army. Before a battle near modern-day Worms, Germany, Martin went before Emperor Julian and refused his salary, saying, "I am the soldier of Christ: it is not lawful for me to fight." They threw him in prison for this, but due to ye olde extenuating circumstances, he was released and discharged without further incident.

Martin made his way to modern-day Tours in France and declared himself a hermit, becoming a disciple and friend of Hilary of Tours. Because Christianity was Not OK™ in the Roman Empire, he and Hilary faced a lot of discrimination, including corporal punishment and exile. After converting his mother to Christianity and having numerous adventures, like living pretty much alone on an island, he and Hilary settled down in and around Poitiers, where Martin established Ligugé Abbey. It is the oldest known monastery in Europe! Martin made it his home base while he preached throughout western Gaul.

In 371 CE, the bishop of Tours died, and Martin was considered a good candidate for a successor. However, he liked living as a hermit and monk, and they resorted to tricking him into coming to Tours and then forced him to become the bishop. Legend holds that he tried to hide in a barn, but a honking goose gave him away. Hence he is the patron saint of geese, which I think is adorable. Martin proved true to his hermit ways, living very simply in huts with his monks. He established a rudimentary parish system, through which he visited different Christian communities and established monasteries. He was very determined in his efforts to convert local Pagans, as well as protect Christian institutions from unfriendly sects in the area, and in some cases he was successful. He died in 371 CE, already a venerated man. His popularity was ensured by his adoption by various French royals and by the Third Republic as a national symbol.

Martin has been portrayed by several famous artists, including Van Dyck, Peter Bruegel the Elder, and El Greco. He is usually portrayed on horseback, dividing his cloak for the poor man, though occasionally he can be seen riding a donkey. This references another story in his life about the time where he met the Devil and outwitted him. It also connects him to the image of Jesus riding a donkey into Jerusalem (recounted in Mark 1:1-11).

Martinmas and its Traditions

Martin lent his legacy to a host of English words and phrases, including those relating to the word 'chapel'. Temporary buildings that held the relic of his cloak (cappa in Latin) were referred to as cappella, and hence the word 'chapel' was born. A similar thing happened to the word 'chaplain', which derived from the word for the priest in charge of the cloak.

Though the Anglo-Saxon church did celebrate St. Martin to some extent, more references to Martinmas celebrations begin to crop up after Norman Conquest of 1066, when the Frenchman William the Conqueror invaded England. Supposedly, he promised to build an abbey dedicated to Martin if his invasion of England was successful. William was very likely familiar with the early Mediaeval association of the battle-hungry rulers of France with St. Martin, and was possibly responsible for his increased popularity in England.

In England and Scotland, and indeed through much of western Europe, Martinmas became a celebration marking the culmination of the harvest and the beginning of winter. From the late fourth century through the late Middle Ages, it also served a similar purpose to Mardi Gras/Carnivale: a period of fasting was ordained for the day after Martinmas through Christmas, so Martinmas was your last chance to stuff your face for a long time! (This period later became Advent, though with much laxer rules). As such, it was a time for feasting, celebration, bonfires, getting really drunk, and even events such as bull-running, as in Stamford, Lincolnshire. It was also a time for the end-of-harvest tasks, such as sowing winter wheat and slaughtering pigs and cattle. An old English saying goes, "His Martinmas will come, as it does to every hog", meaning, "they will get their comeuppance" or "everyone dies someday". Due to Martin's association with geese, some celebrated with a roast goose, but in Britain particularly it was also popular to eat salted pork or beef. For those not rich enough to have a goose, a duck or hen would also suffice. Other traditional fare included black pudding, haggis, and the first wine of the season.

On the business side of things, Martinmas served as a quarter day in Scotland and in parts England. A quarter day was one of four days on which major legal business was conducted. Servants and labourers would be hired or let go, rent was paid, contracts would begin or end, &c. Hiring fairs would be held for agricultural labourers seeking employment, and there would also be entertainment, food, trading, and other scenes of merriment. One of the most famous Martinmas fairs was at Nottingham in England, which lasted eight days.

Like many other English holidays, there is weather folklore associated with Martinmas. To have a warm fall and winter is to have a "St. Martin's Summer". If Martinmas proves an icy day, Christmas (or the rest of the winter) will be very warm. The rhyme puts it more pithily: "If the geese at Martin's Day stand on ice, they will walk in mud at Christmas".

If you stand at the back of the church and observe the congregation on Martinmas, those with a halo of light around their heads will not be alive by next Martinmas.

Interior of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, with a funky window!

The church of St. Martin-in-the-fields in Trafalgar Square in London is named after Martin. Many people commemorated there are associated with his anti-war sentiments -- these include Vera Brittain, a memoirist and pacifist; and Dick Sheppard, founder of the Peace Pledge Union. The church also supports houseless and vulnerably housed people.

The holiday gradually fell out of practice due to the English Reformation (when England split from the Catholic Church throughout the 1500s) and the Interregnum (Puritan republican government, 1649-1660). The observance of Armistice Day on the same day largely overshadowed the holiday in the UK, though many regions in Western Europe still take part in traditional festivities.

Martinmas is celebrated on 12 October in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Mathilde House, Ahtolia (11:28am)

Mary (to the phone):...is that so? That’s odd.

Phone:......

Mary: Alright. Keep me updated. Thank you and be careful, Inej.

Edward: Mary?

Mary: Oh, Ed. Are you going out with Darien today?

Edward: Yeah. We're going to a spot in Folke that’s perfect for fishing. Tony’s going to join us too.

Mary: Really? Have fun then.

Edward: What about you?

Mary: Sofia and I will be meeting the wedding planner at the palace in an hour. Lina was supposed to join us but she cancelled.

Edward: Did she say why?

Mary: Not really. She just said she doesn’t feel well.

Edward: I see...maybe it’s the stress getting to her?

Mary: Perhaps...

Edward: What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me?

Mary:...yes. Inej called just now.

Edward: Any updates?

Mary: She researched the estate and it belonged to King Henrik of Savaria.

Edward: That’s odd.

Mary: Yes, that’s what I told her too. What would your mother be doing in Savaria if she’s still alive? And why would King Henrik let her stay in his estate?

Edward: God, I wish I had the answer to that.

Mary: *sighs* I know. I asked Inej to do more digging. She'll update us when she knows more.

Edward: Yeah, alright. I hope she’s careful.

Mary: She’ll be fine, hopefully.

Edward:...do you think we should let Sofia and Darien know about this?

Mary: Not yet. There’s still a chance this can be a sick joke by someone.

Edward: *sighs* Fine, then. I’ll keep my mouth shut. 

Mary: That is what’s best for now.

Edward: I should be going. Take care, dear.

Mary: You too.

The Wind Palace (12:45pm)

*door opens and closes*

Jannah: Your majesty! You’re early. I’m sorry that I kept you waiting.

Mary: It’s alright, I didn’t wait long. Queen Sofia is still not here yet, so don’t worry about it. Have a seat, please.

Jannah: Thank you, ma’am.

Jannah: Alright, let’s begin the discussion.

Mary: Now? Queen Sofia isn’t even here yet.

Jannah: I was told by Queen Sofia’s secretary that she won’t be joining today’s meeting. She had a sudden matter to attend to and didn't want to be disturbed.

Mary: Why wasn’t I informed earlier? I could’ve rescheduled the meeting to another day.

Jannah: My apologies, ma’am. I was just informed about this.

Mary:...

Jannah: Ma’am? Would you like to start now?

Mary: Huh? Oh, yes. But will this discussion reach Queen Sofia directly?

Jannah: Yes, ma’am. I’ll be taking notes and have her secretary hand it to Her Majesty.

Mary: Very well, then. Let’s begin.
