| 2h50 | 13.55 km | 371 m | 692 m
On leaving Peillon, the trail joins the GR® 51 B, crosses the village of La Turbie and its Trophy of Augustus and then, facing the Mediterranean and its increasingly present maritime air, arrives in the Principality of Monaco, which it crosses to reach the Palais square, the final destination on the Red Trail. **Stop at the Exotic Garden to sign the Via Alpina Guestbook, available at the counter daily from 9am-7pm(9am-6pm from February to April and in October, 9am-5pm from November to January). There you can also receive an official Via Alpina stamp to document your trip.**
Walk back uphill to the upper part of the village to get onto the trail. Take the path that leaves to the right towards the north (direction of St-Martin-de-Peille - La Turbie). The path descends towards the Calambert stream and then circumvents Lourquière point to the west and continues above St-Martin ravine, next running past private property on a little road. A post erected by the Conseil Général des Alpes-Maritimes invites you to head to the right in the direction of St-Martin-de-Peille - Chapelle St-Martin - La Gorra. Still in the same direction, take the Bonella path and you will find the red and white markings for the GR® 51 again. Head down along the La Gorra road. Pass a beautiful gateway in wrought iron on the left which blocks the road for cars, continue to descend and, at the intersection, take the road to the left for a few metres. After an EDF transformer, walk along the path that descends to the Gayan stream. The path crosses the stream and about 600 metres later arrives at a road, which must be taken directly south to reach the Guerre pass. Passe over the motorway tunnel and walk downhill to the south. Walk through the village of La Turbie to reach the Trophée des Alpes monument. From there, descend along a path that passes well below the Tête de Chien on the east side to take the steps down to the Principality of Monaco.
(Paul Guglielmi, CDRP 06)
The Révoires path opens onto the "Moyenne Corniche" (main road RN 7). Cross it, swerving slightly to the west. Walk down the steps that then continue between the villas leading to Avenue Hector Otto; cross the avenue to enter the Vita health run and walk alongside the retaining wall that borders Cap d'Ail, and take the steps down to the south-west corner of the square of the Exotic Garden. Cross the square and follow the footpath that borders the Princesse Antoinette park as far as the first steps of the Révoires. Take these steps down, crossing three streets to reach the Rainier III boulevard and cross it at the traffic lights. Follow the footpath on the left and then take the pedestrian passageway with the long steps. Turn right into the Prince Pierre avenue; keep heading downhill, passing Rue de la Colle and arriving at the Place d'Armes. Cross at the traffic lights and walk alongside the rock overlooked by the Princes Palace as far as the end of Porte Neuve avenue. Walk along the footpath to reach a wide corner. Here, turn to the left (south) down the paths of a garden. Pass in front of the Museum of Oceanography (founded by Prince Albert I), walk towards the Saint Martin Gardens and follow the parkways overlooking the sea (cathedral) until they end at the little Sainte Barbe street on the Palace square, where the memorial plaque of the inauguration of Via Alpina is located.

Latest insights from our experts

Short Marriages and Financial Claims
The Court of Appeal have today set aside an order made providing for an equal division of the assets in a divorce where the parties had been married for only 3 ½ years to the date of the divorce petition, having lived together for only two years prior.
At the time of the financial proceedings, the total assets amounted to £6.9m. The husband had conceded that one of the properties, valued at £1.1m should be kept out of the matrimonial asset pot as the wife had acquired the property before they married. A further £350,000 was subtracted to reflect other pre-acquired assets.
The judge at first instance found that there had been no sufficient reason identified for a departure from the starting point of equality and divided the assets of £6.9m as to £2.725m to the husband. The wife appealed.
The main issue was whether it was the case that the matrimonial assets should be shared between them equally where the marriage was short, there were no children and the parties had maintained separate finances.
On hearing the appeal, the Court of Appeal held that the wife was right to contend a departure from the equal sharing principle to achieve fairness.
The judge at first instance's order was set aside and replaced by a Property Adjustment Order allocating the £1.1m property with an additional lump sum of £900,000. The husband therefore retained £2m of a £6.9m asset pot, just under 29% of the assets.
There is no legal distinction between a "short" and "long" marriages, and therefore no defined point after which wealth should be shared. It is still not clear how long a marriage has to be in order to be defined as "short" however, the fact these particular parties did not have any children and their finances had previously been arranged separately are evidently important factors which the Court of Appeal could not disregard.

My Book - Homefront Still Life
Click here for info on Amazon about my new Book!
Homefront Still Life Book
I'm happy to announce that my Book is available on Amazon! I created a 7"x7" 22 page hardcover book with images of my still life paintings.
I'm not a techie person, so the process of working with the publishing program, visiting the publishing help page many times, emailing Amazon on info I needed and then applying it all was quite an undertaking for me. After going through a concussion a few years ago technical things are harder than before. However, the book was a mission I wanted to complete. The process was quite a learning experience. However now that I've been through it, it'll be a piece of cake making the next book! Fingers crossed!

Eleanor's Flowerpot
My mom's flowerpot has been in my life as long as I can remember. I sat it on my hearth to paint and gave it a go.
There are no markings on the bottom and I don't know its age. It could have been my grandmother's as well. I'm glad I still have it and it found its way into a painting. It's become my favorite work so far.

Organic, free-range, brown eggs! They've always been on my list to paint.

Several blocks away, a tall beautiful mimosa tree stands proudly on the corner lot. The house it shields is shabby and run down. The residents park their cars on what may have at one time been a lawn and generally everything is in disrepair.
Yet the beauty of the mimosa tree hides all the flaws. All the shabbiness and makes the corner lovely. I don't think the people living there even notice the tree. It doesn't seem that way when one drives pass. It is natures way of glamour. Of offering a gift for the eye to behold and over ride the shabbiness of the property.
For a long while the house had boarded windows even though people were clearly ling there. Something that may have been common in the tropics because of storms blowing through. However this is the middle of Texas and it seemed a fire hazard to me. It also made a sad house look even sadder. Then finally one day, windows were installed. It helped with the overall look from the street and I bet the people living there immediately enjoyed the light. So when spring came and now summer, the mimosa tree took over. I did not notice it previously when once in a while I drive that direction. Then suddenly it spreads delicate wings laced with pink blossoms across the yard and high into the sky. It leans against a pole as if for support all the while making an ugly pole look better.
It is truly an amazing tree. One of the largest I have seen and one of the most beautiful. It is nice that it graces an otherwise shabby corner and nice the residence have the gift to see it each day as do those of us who pass.
Nature is amazing what it brings us when we take notice and see the beauty. So it is a gift to see the lovely mimosa tree when I drive down that street, albeit seldom. No longer do I notice the shabbiness of the unkept property or the abundance of cars. All I see is the beauty of the mimosa tree. Its delicate leaves, soft pink puffs of the blossoms. It dominance on the corner.
And so it is with so many gifts from nature beauty to the eye yet one must be aware to notice the gift.

Analysis: Primary care practitioners insist cuts have consequences
Contractors face further pinch as Government seeks to reduce €2.5 billion costs
GPs have warned that existing cuts as well as those proposed for this year are leading to the running down of general practice.
The health service and thousands of GPs, pharmacists, dentists and other contractors who provide primary care services have been struggling in recent years to deal with increasing numbers of patients at a time of significantly reduced funding.
The State's bill for these services is enormous – some €2.5 billion per year. However, the volume of transactions handled by the HSE's primary care reimbursement service is equally mammoth – at around 78 million in 2011 it is up 2.8 million on the previous year.
This is perhaps unsurprising as growing unemployment over recent years has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people qualifying for medical cards.
Since the onset of the economic downturn the Government has sought to tackle the costs. It has invoked emergency legislation to reduce fee levels to primary care contractors on a number of occasions.
And the end of the cuts is not yet in sight, with the Government planning to generate around €70 million more in savings in fees in this area this year.
This plan was announced in the budget last December, and although a consultation process was put in place at the start of the year, Minister for Health James Reilly has made no decision on this issue as of yet.
A spokesman for the Department of Health said last night that the issue of the proposed cuts was still under deliberation.
However, primary care practitioners have warned that the cuts imposed to date have not been consequence-free.
The chief executive of the Irish Dental Association, Fintan Hourihan, said last night that "significantly reduced payments to dentists reflect savage cuts in services to patients holding medical cards and explain a large rise in redundancies and practice closures".
GPs have also warned that the existing cuts as well as those proposed for this year are leading to the running down of general practice.
The annual conference of the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) heard this month that waiting lists for appointments to see GPs could be common in the future.
The IMO had also previously warned that further cuts would reduce the capacity for general practice to provide chronic disease management and would set back the Government's plans for the introduction of universal GP care for many years.
Representative bodies for GPs and pharmacists also argue that the publication of lists of earnings are misleading as they represent gross figures and do not take account of practice expenses.
If the Government is to generate the €70 million in savings sought from professional healthcare fees this year, the Minister is expected to have to make a decision on the scale of the new cuts in the near future.
A lot more argument can be expected at that stage over both the need for savings and the implications for the services provided by doctors, dentists and others to patients at primary care level.

g7 will not get it done. Just keep gearing until you clear it. What's the worst that can happen if you give them more than the absolute minimum gear required to clear the level? You might make it less reliant on RNG, and that is not a bad thing.
Troopers have several uses for me. Giving them more gear is not really a bad thing.
without the veers zeta, even g11 on all of them wouldn't cut it. I've heard of people failing with g11-12 and the zeta.

There was a conflict with scheduling my use of the tablets today (a problem I like to have) so I had to come up with an extra project last night. I keep a list of future projects on my delicious account and found an interesting idea.
Reviewing Citations
Last year, I worked on the idea of saying thank you for images in a PowerPoint lesson for the fifth grade. I wanted to extend that thought in a new way. I do not like to over use PowerPoint and felt that I'd like to use images again.
The lesson found on Pics4Learning's website suggests that the teacher selects a piece of music that students can use with images in Pic4Learnings free photos.
I did a quick search for Creative Commons music and came across an article titled Creative Commons Music in Honor of Obama. I listened to a piece titled Taps-America the Beautiful by Obi Best. It is a beautiful piece with an attribution-noncommercial 3.0 unported license. This is perfect for the project. I was able to edit out the taps and have a minute and eleven seconds of song.
I used EasyBib to create a citation for the music and posted the lyrics, music citation, and link to Pics4Learning on our wiki page.
Learning Ahead
I introduced the lesson today. I played the piece and asked the students to think of images that came to mind as they listened. They enjoyed the music, swaying to the beat, humming and singing along. They suggested some images as starting points for each other.
I decided the best way to proceed was to teach them how to make a Bookmarks folder in Firefox. As they found images they would want in the presentation, they added a bookmark.
We're going to import the MP3 into iMovie and add the images to complement the music. The students haven't used iMovie yet. They already have plans to bring the music into Garageband to mix it up. I didn't plan that part of the project. It evolved in class as they asked for the option. It was a great opportunity to talk about the Creative Commons license selected by the artist which allows for remixing of the song.
Overall Plan
We will create a title and a series of images for America the Beautiful. The students will include citations for the music and all the images. We will eventually upload the completed movies to our school podcast page and/or my vimeo account. I'll have to determine this as I see the project evolve.
In the end, the students will have 24 versions of the song. We will do a little analysis at the end. The project is still evolving, but it seems like the students are going to have a lot of fun while they are reminded once again about citations AND begin learning about copyright, creative commons, and the public domain.

Atom Interferometer
Wave-particle duality is a key part of quantum mechanics. All matter appears to be particulate at the microscopic level, yet it can also behave like waves. Just like ripples on a pond can overlap to form patterns having peaks and valleys, the wave description of quantum mechanics allows quantum objects like atoms to be in superposition states. In order to observe wave-like behavior of atoms, physicists cool them down to near-absolute zero temperature. At these temperatures the deBroglie wavelength of each particle in a typical dilute atomic gas is long compared to the spacing between the atoms. The atom waves, like water waves, can interfere to create ripples and patterns. One of the neat aspects of this is that the interference is a single-particle effect--the atoms themselves are not interacting.
An atom interferometer is device or experiment in which atom waves are made to interfere with each other.

Since forever, I always wanted to visit this part of the country. And how the most efficient marketing technique is the word of mouth, obviously the many stories about the fact that Cluj would be beautiful, that everything would be different, from the people's accent to the buildings architecture, aroused my curiosity.
The reason for the visit I found it later, when I met a man of the place, an authentic "Clujean". What a better argument than the one provided by someone who was born here? So I got to hear of balmoș, baked ice cream and soup in bread, of Hoia forest with its misteries and events that overcome any imagination, of the old centered buildings, mirror twins, but also of that area located at the Cluj-Napoca's outskirts where, on a short route, you don't get to have phone signal. From the same man I found more about the war's traumas, about the family life in the communist period, about the rations and the bread card, the stealthily talks, coded by parents in their home's intimacy.
Cluj-Napoca represents a mosaic, a mix of cultures, values, of contrasting periods that seem to be reunited in a single dough, left to rise, so that today, we can enjoy the savory flavor of one of the most beautiful areas in our country.
The town is one of the oldest in Romania being mentioned by 100 AC. In the present, it is also placed as the second most important city after Bucharest.
A still growing medieval town
Cluj-Napoca is blooming similarly to an european capital, and in the last period it seems to be more and more on Romanians's lips. It's bohemian, romantic, noble, effervescent, young, intelligent, involved and willing to affirm only for beautiful things.
Since ancient times, it was noticed for the riches with which nature has endowed causing the envy of many nations. It went through hard times, gray and gloomy, but certainly everything happened for a reason. Otherwise, how could we today have the opportunity to admire the late Gothic buildings, how could we talk about Gáspár Heltai, who established the first printing press in the city and also the first brewery, or about Matia Corvin, King of Hungary, born here, who encouraged the development of the city through the guilds of craftsmen?
Cluj-Napoca City has caught the eyes of many, was marked several times by their power battles, passed from one camp to another, so that, ultimately, it may return to the family, with carefully gathered experiences. Today, in 2015, Cluj-Napoca is the new capital, European Youth Capital.
This city is like a jewel. It's a must to be an expert to recognize it value. Any walk allows you to meet it and those who contributed to its growth. Cluj, the heart of Transylvania is where you can recreate at will, where ancestors fingerprints still feel, where you are welcomed, where you can walk slowly and where you can enjoy everything you see.
Cluj-Napoca is a destination that you must not miss and to which you must come back, because you need time to really discover it.
Cluj-Napoca represents a mosaic, a mix of cultures and traditions
WHY Cluj?
Cluj is a palimpsest that requires time to be understood and enjoyed!
By traveling a lot, I've always appreciated authenticity. The joy've here, in our country, places, things, landscapes, communities and authentic traditions allows us to outline some of the issues that speak yet too little about a Cluj yet to be known and appreciated.
At the Gates of the Treasure City.
A tour of the city center is a must that takes one to the period of maximum progress of the city of Cluj, when two kings were born on the same street, at a difference of almost a century. And because we are in a European city, we can enjoy a daily free tour from 18:00 (from the 1st of May to the 31st of October) offered by the Cluj Guided Tours Association
In the world of Transylvanian noble families.
The evidence of the multicultural traditions' importance is the religious diversity complemented by ethnic diversity. In Transylvania, grand Hungarian noble families were attracted by the picturesque landscape and built their vast and exquisite castles and palaces. The Bánffys, the Bethlens, the Telekis, the Wass, the Hallers, the Josikas, the Kemenys, the Mikes, the Bocskais, the Rhedeys and many others are the builders and owners of the most beautiful castles and palaces in Transylvania. Cluj-Napoca, Bonţida, Răscruci, Câmpia Turzii, Gilău, Jucu de Sus, Copăceni, Iara, Borsa Aghireş Monastery are just some of those towns that possess representative noble residences in Cluj county.
Turda and the surroundings.
It is inevitable to go to the center of the earth to visit the fabulous set-up of Turda Saline, a veritable history museum of salt mining, but also a place dedicated to leisure and treatment through salt lakes, a part of the tourism planning. However, once approaching the town, a magnet-like landscape is bound to catch you: the Turda Quays
100 bike tours in the Cluj area.
There are attractive landscape routes designed at the initiative of "Napoca" Cyclo Club for the cyclists who want to have trips in the surroundings of Cluj. A map is available (Edit. Schubert & Franzke).
Thus, we can suggest crossing the chain of lakes in the Gilău Mountains or the less traveled panoramic paths such as Agârbiciu-Bălceşti-Dângău-Râşca-Mănăstireni. One can head to Băişoara – Muntele Mare, with the already famous Apuseni Marathon at the end of May, that crosses spectacular landscapes and protected areas like Scărița – Belioara, or one can wander the trails leading to Răchițele (with the beautiful Bride's Veil waterfall – Vălul Miresei) and to the south of the Vlădeasa Massif.
I must say what I always say, ever since I moved to Cluj, in 1996: how good it is that I remained in Cluj!
Lecturer Dr. Cristina Bolog:
Starting from "Eu iubesc România" magazine, I remembered how, a few years ago, we were ready to leave the country for a different society where values were valued and the decent life was normal. A series of chained actions, all related to doing something, however small, to rehabilitate the indigenous values convinced us to remain home. Thus began the deeper concern of understanding and capitalizing on Cluj's tourism, as its tangible and intangible heritage, with the permanent care and the difficult task of keeping the place's spirit.

A common charge leveled against me by women is "You hate women." It's a mind-boggling accusation if you consider I've spent more mental energy at "figuring" women out than 99% of men on the planet. If you also account for the amount of time I've spent writing out my thoughts and analysis about them, it gets upped to 99.9%. I'm not going to be cheesy and say I love women and how they're all beautiful creatures, but my entire life would be a fraud if I really hated women. I would be a goddamn fool to dedicate a good portion of my free time to them if I genuinely hated their guts.
Think back to all the women you've ever dated in your life. How many of them would you consider "special?" It's probably in the single digits. Now how many of them were just alright or slightly memorable? Finally, how many were forgettable enough that you wouldn't care if you ever saw them again? It's safe to say that most women you meet won't make a positive impact to your life, and only a select few have brought you sustained happiness. Some women you've loved, and some you've hated, but you unless you're desperate you approach each woman with a little skepticism, wondering if she can please you with the qualities you desire. Having a default opinion that all women are wonderful snowflakes makes it likely that won't you even get to experience them in bed. It's not a matter of hating anyone, but having a high opinion of yourself and knowing that you deserve a woman equal to or greater than your own value.
The truth is that when a woman reads my blog, she becomes exposed to some uncomfortable truths. Chances are I've perfectly described her own flaws. She now has two options: accept my criticisms and make an honest effort to improve herself, or block out what she just read by saying "He hates women." The latter makes it's easy for her brain to discount everything I've written and continue on her current trajectory. It's a form of self-denial.
I do something similar after I read the opinion of a girl about dating, when I snoop around to see if I can find photos of her. If she's pretty, then I may consider the points she raised, but if she's not someone that I would bang, I safely disregard everything she said since following her ideas would push me farther away from getting the attractive women that I desire. Another example: if a pretty girl in a bar compliments my shirt, I know I'm on the right track, but if an ogre does the same, I disregard it completely. I prepare to burn the shirt if another ogre hits me with a similar compliment.
American feminists who accuse me of hating women think that I'm bitter because I can't fuck a feminist, but the reality is that the easiest girl for me to fuck are feminists. And when I mean easiest, I mean easiest in the world. They're so easy that I suspect European men prowl through international airports in their cities looking to "assist" fresh female American arrivals, knowing it's just common sense that a woman who doesn't believe in a "slut" concept will fuck anything for the most arbitrary of reasons, like a "sexy" foreign accent or so-so skill at playing Wonderwall on guitar. Ultimately, I believe feminist hate against me stems from all the guys they've fucked who have never called them back, who made them feel anything but "empowered" and "independent." I'm their punching bag to make them fell less like a… slut.
Humans need a way to filter information, and one way we do that is to trash everything that comes from someone we don't already agree with. Feminists do this to me by saying "Roosh hates women." You better believe that no feminist wakes up and says, "Today I will change my mind or my lifestyle if someone challenges my beliefs." So they have quick retorts that keep them in their fantasy bubble, easy rationalizations for their lonely existence. I'm getting older so my beliefs are getting entrenched, but I will change my mind if new evidence suggests I hold an incorrect viewpoint. That's because I'm a man, and most men are capable of doing that. I've never seen a woman change her mind in the face of contrary evidence. Not once in my entire life. She either throws a temper tantrum, starts with the name-calling, or pretends she never held the incorrect viewpoint in the first place.
A more amusing hater comment I come across is, "He hates strong woman." I've always thought "strong woman" was an oxymoron—it would be like a beta male going around saying, "Forget her, she can't handle a weak man." When someone says "strong woman," this is the image that comes to my mind:
- burly build, definitely not svelte
- short finger nails, short hair
- overly opinionated
- thinks she understands how the world works
- self-absorbed
- too much focus on building her intelligence instead of her attractiveness
Why would any man on this planet want a strong woman? Shit, I'll accept that charge without debate—I do hate strong women, because it would be like dating a she-to-he transsexual. It's actually a good screening question you should ask the next girl you meet: "Do you consider yourself a strong woman?" Unless she hesitates, run for the hills.
Some women I hate, some women I care for, but most I hold in neutral regard. Unless a girl can come close to matching qualities of someone special I've dated in the past, I'm not going to worship her. And the reason I don't worship women is because I actually like sex and want to continue having it. Instead I will treat her like the filthy dick hole she really is. Who knows—if American women rewarded men who worshipped them, the rules of the game would change and maybe my first book would be called Compliment & Cuddle instead of Bang, but they don't. In the end this is just another case where if you listen to what a woman says about how men should act, your existence would be completely void of sex. I feel that if I'm not getting accused by women for hating them, I'm probably doing something seriously wrong.

State Unemployment Compensation and Workers' Compensation Programs: A Review of Major Legislative Changes, Program Costs and Suggested Reforms
United States Small Business Administration
Office of Advocacy
State Unemployment Compensation
and Workers' Compensation Programs:
A Review of Major Legislative Changes,
Program Costs and Suggested Reforms
by the National Foundation for Unemployment Compensation and Workers' Compensation
1996. 159p. The National Foundation for Unemployment Compensation and Workers' Compensation, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 2004-1703, under award no. SBA-HQ-95-M-0595
State unemployment compensation and workers' compensation programs are intended to insure against the interruption of income due to the loss of a job, either because of temporary layoff or inability to work as a result of an injury or illness in connection with work. The objective of this study is to identify both "cost-driver" and "desirable" provisions of the two programs that can significantly affect employer costs. Wherever possible, the study highlights issues that specifically apply to small businesses.
The discussion of "cost-driver" provisions--provisions that drive costs up--is intended to help small employers in their efforts with state legislators to enact needed program reforms. The discussion of "desirable" provisions--provisions designed to reduce or contain escalating costs while continuing to provide reasonable benefits and coverage for worker--is intended to help small employers, in particular, evaluate specific provisions that could be included in a state's unemployment compensation and workers' compensation laws.
Scope and Methodology
The National Foundation for Unemployment Compensation
and Workers' Compensation, founded in 1984, was established to collect data, conduct research, and analyze current issues relating to unemployment compensation and workers' compensation.
The Foundation has researched the provisions of each state's unemployment compensation and workers' compensation laws and reviewed all major legislative changes affecting these programs since 1984. A state-by-state summary of such changes occurring for the four-year period 1990-1993 is provided in this report. The Foundation's suggested "desirable" provisions are the result of this analysis.
For each state, the "total cost" of benefit payments is reported for each program for the last 10 years for which data are available (1984-1993). Unfortunately, the data do not enable the Foundation to isolate the cost impact for small employers.
On the basis of total cost data, calculations were made of average cost per covered employee for each state in each year for each program. To provide another measure in evaluating the impact of state legislative changes, the Foundation computed the average cost rate (total benefit payments as a percent of total covered wages) by state for each year. To the extent possible, the Foundation has identified the correlation of the cost impact of major legislative enactments for each program in selected states.
- Over the years, states have expanded mandatory coverage provisions to include virtually all employees and employers. The expansion of coverage has resulted in many complex and costly problems, particularly for small employers. In fact, providing this mandated coverage represents a substantial cost of doing business in many states.
- In addition to the cost of providing the insurance coverage, many small employers often have difficulty understanding the many confusing requirements in the different state laws, including record keeping and reporting.
- In most cases, legislative efforts have not focused on small business issues. Many issues addressed are intended to benefit all employers (large and small) and improve the overall performance of the programs.
- Major legislative changes deal with benefit levels, eligibility provisions, and the conditions under which benefits are to be paid. For workers' compensation programs, issues related to medical care have been the focus of many legislative changes because medical care has been a major contributor to the increased workers' compensation costs for employers.
- During the years 1990 to 1993, many changes were made to state unemployment compensation programs. In 1990, the Colorado legislature added a definition for "temporary help contracting firm." It also provided that employees of such a firm will be eligible for unemployment benefits if they contact the agency for reassignment immediately upon completion of a previous assignment and are not reassigned within five working days. Also in 1990, Kansas required that in employee leasing situations the leasing operation is required to make unemployment compensation contributions. In 1992 New Jersey reduced its unemployment insurance tax to 0.4 percent of taxable payroll, saving employers $200 million annually.
- Concerning workers' compensation laws, Connecticut in 1993 passed legislation requiring employers with 25 or more employees to have a labor-management safety committee. It also made it a D-class felony for an employer, knowingly and with intent to defraud, to misrepresent employees as independent contractors or provide false information to an insurance company in order to pay lower workers' compensation premiums. Other states also enacted workers' compensation changes.
- Other issues receiving attention by many state legislatures include disqualification provisions, improved program administration/oversight, and more efficient ways of allocating costs equitably among employers (experience rating and/or broader choices for purchasing workers' compensation insurance).
- One issue that has received considerable attention by state legislatures deals with the availability of workers' compensation insurance coverage for smaller employers. Several states have expanded availability of self-insurance, including group self-insurance. (The study includes findings from a recent report on the availability of, and requirements for, group self-insurance among the states.)
- In 1993, three of the four states ranked highest by average unemployment compensation benefit cost per employee were in the Northeast: New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The highest ranked was Alaska. For workers' compensation, the highest ranked states were Nevada, West Virginia, Montana and Maine--states with a high concentration of extractive industries.
- Based on the average cost rate, the four highest ranked states for unemployment compensation were Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Alaska, and Washington. For workers' compensation, the four highest ranked states were Montana, Nevada, West Virginia, and Maine--the same states identified using benefit cost per employee as a measure.
The Foundation has attempted to identify the most important provisions in states' unemployment compensation and workers' compensation laws that can significantly affect costs to employers. This information will prove helpful to small employers in determining the kinds of cost-saving legislative changes they might want to present to their state legislators.

If no special prosecutor is appointed, everyone is going to suspect coverup ~ Chuck Schumer on the firing of Comey.
America's reality show preznit Donald Trump to James Comey: "you're fired". John Podesta (HRC's campaign manager) via tweet following the firing: "didn't you know you're supposed to wait til Saturday night to massacre people investigating you?".
|The "Saturday Night Massacre" was one of the most dramatic turns of events in the Watergate scandal - the political drama that rocked the United States in the 1970s and led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. President Nixon and the Attorney General's office were locked in a political standoff over Nixon's refusal to comply with orders to release recordings of White House conversations. Nixon ordered the firing of Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox. But Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his deputy William Ruckelshaus resigned rather than comply with the order. Cox was eventually fired by the US solicitor general.
Critics of President Trump's firing of FBI director James Comey see similarities between Cox's firing decades ago and Trump's action on Tuesday. The Trump administration, critics say, is trying to undermine the FBI's investigation into allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, just as Nixon tried to stop lawmakers from learning the truth about his role in the Watergate scandal. (Comey firing draws comparisons to Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" by Joe Sterling. CNN, 5/10/2017).
So, are we going to get a special prosecutor now and will investigations into Trump lead to his resignation or impeachment? BTW, Trump cited Jeff Sessions as recommending the firing. Huh. I thought Sessions said he'd recuse himself in regards to the Trump/Russia investigation (due to his being caught lying to Senator Franken about his own Russia connections). Then he tells Trump to fire the head guy investigating his campaign?
"While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation" Trump's letter to Comey informing him of the firing reads - a claim that is complete BS. According to The Washington Post, "speaking to reporters Tuesday evening, [White House Press Secretary] Spicer said he did not know what the three occasions were when Comey told Trump that he wasn't under investigation". That's because it never happened.
BTW, according to Fox Nooz, Comey "resigned". Malcolm Nance (on the 5/10/2017 of the Stephanie Miller Show) said 2 names being floated as Comey replacements include Rudy Giuliani (who has also been linked to Russia) and Sheriff Clarke (RW hero who allowed a prisoner to be murdered by guards in his jail).
Two individuals who will be certain to
pick up shut down the Trump/Russia investigation. Time for a special prosecutor.
See also: [RNUSA] Trump Fires Comey [5/9/2017]. RN writes "Are Trump's true motives obvious on this? or is it just me?"... No it is not just you. As per the Washington Post "Trump has given every reason for us to believe he fired Comey over the Russia investigation". BTW, as per the former MI6 agent Christopher Steele dossier, there exists "records of payments from the Trump campaign to banks of Russian cyber trolls tasked with spreading disinformation ahead of the 2016 election".
5/16/2017 Update: From the NYT... "President Trump asked the FBI director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting. I hope you can let this go, the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo". Comey didn't let it go and got fired. Isn't this obstruction of justice and an impeachable offense? Time for Congressional Democrats to shut down Congress until we get a special prosecutor, IMO.
5/19/2017 Update: Trump to Russian officials, admitting (again) obstruction of justice: "I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off".
#TrumpRussiaCollusion, #TrumpRussia, #ImpeachTrump.

Microsoft has finally decided to accept the decision handed down by the European Union (EU) regarding its antitrust case. Microsoft had appealed the original decision of the EU handed down back in 2004 which included a record fine of US$707 million (see our previous coverage). The heart of the decision was that Microsoft had to make information available to third parties in order to allow products to be developed for use with the Windows desktop OS, and its Windows Media Player software had to be unbundled from the Windows operating system.
Microsoft had appealed the original decision to the European Court of First Instance, but lost that appeal in a decision handed down last month. Under a new agreement with the EU, Microsoft has slashed the royalty rates for a worldwide license, which includes patents related to interoperability with the Windows desktop operating system. Rates have been slashed from 5.94% to 0.4%. Microsoft also agreed to reduce its royalty rates for applications developed from interoperability information. Microsoft had asked for 2.98% of software revenue. Now, Microsoft is asking for only a one-off payment of $14,156. Microsoft also agreed to a number of other terms related to the 2004 decision. Those terms were announced by Neelie Kroes, European Commissioner for Competition Policy, during a press conference in Brussels on Monday. Kroes had been in contact with Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, for the last "two or three weeks" almost daily to come to the agreement.
After its loss in the Court of First Instance, Microsoft had to seriously be thinking of ending the fight and learning to work with the EU on key parts of the original 2004 antitrust decision. Microsoft was smart to figure out that it's better to live with the EU than without it. Microsoft slashing royalty rates and agreeing to a number of other terms allowed EU officials to save face while bringing the fight to a close.

Cloud storage is a relatively new concept that is becoming a more recognizable term in industry vernacular. Originally delivered as a service, it gained early popularity with Web 2.0 startups looking to outsource storage administration. As the concept spread and offerings expanded, the industry has now embraced two flavors of cloud storage: public and private. This article reviews the choices a user faces when choosing a private versus public cloud storage offering. It describes data types and identifies scenarios where cloud storage is a good solution and where it is a poor fit. This article also covers usage patterns, security, performance and cost implications to educate the reader on differences between public and private cloud storage.
Public Versus Private, What Is the Difference?
The difference between private and public storage clouds is simple. Where is the cloud deployed? A public cloud is offered as a service, usually over an Internet connection. Private clouds are deployed inside the firewall and managed by the user organization. Locality is a simple difference that drives very unique experiences and capabilities to the end user.
Public clouds typically charge a monthly usage fee per GB combined with bandwidth transfer charges. Users can scale the storage on-demand and will never need to purchase storage hardware. Service providers manage the infrastructure and pool resources into capacity that any customer can claim.
Private clouds are built from software running on customer-supplied commodity hardware. The storage is typically not shared outside the enterprise and full control is retained by the organization. Scaling the cloud is as simple as adding another server to the pool and the self-managing architecture expands the cloud by adding performance and capacity.
Cloud Storage Is Not for All Types of Data
Storage clouds are designed to support unstructured or file data types. Yet not all file data is the same and not all files are a fit for cloud storage. (Block-based clouds are starting to emerge but leveraging these clouds requires a unique locality of resources and is beyond the scope of this article.) For example, a highly transactional file like an NFS-mounted database requires a class of storage that is beyond either private or public cloud storage offerings. High-speed access to this file would be limited by a public cloud Internet connection. Private clouds are designed for scale and performance of many files on many nodes and would also struggle to support a database. Instead, users should consider files with the following attributes as candidates for cloud storage:
- Larger files with lots of read access: Digital content, streaming media, video, music, etc.
- Parallel streaming writes: Video surveillance (private clouds)
- Long-term storage files: Backup and archival files (private clouds)
- Geographically shared files: Access from different geographies (public clouds)
These all have several aspects in common, including huge data sets and file systems, parallel file serving requirements, longevity of file access, and the need for low-cost deployments.

Connecticut Department of Public Health Commissioner Raul Pino, in preparation for the influenza season, is proactively encouraging all residents to get vaccinated against influenza. To increase the number of vaccinated Connecticut residents, the Department of Public Health has launched a statewide Influenza Clinics campaign to provide vaccination for persons without insurance.
The City of Stamford Health Department will be participating in this campaign and will be holding FREE influenza clinics for children and adults on Saturday, December 1, 2018 and Saturday, December 8, 2018 at the Government Center from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. No appointment is needed, and if you have any questions, please call 203-977-5385 Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
"I encourage all Stamford residents who have not yet had their flu shot to take advantage of this influenza vaccination program," said Mayor David Martin, who personally receives the flu shot every year. "The best way to prevent the flu and protect yourself and your loved ones is to get the flu vaccine. So please join us on the 1st or 8th."
It is still early in the influenza season to predict how the virus will circulate or how effective the vaccine will be. However, vaccination remains the best method of protection and the CDC continues to recommend the use of the current influenza vaccine as it is effective in reducing the risk of disease, the severity of illness, and the probability of death.
The influenza vaccine is a safe vaccine with very few side effects. The Stamford Health Department is encouraging persons without insurance who have not yet been vaccinated to come by and get themselves and their family members vaccinated.

Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper (9) takes off for a 54-yard TD reception during the first quarter of the no. 1 Alabama vs Tennessee NCAA football game, Saturday, October 26, 2013, at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. (Vasha email@example.com)
-- Alabama wide receiver
Amari Cooper
played through the pain, but he wasn't performing up to the lofty standards he set as a true freshman.
The pain from his toe and foot hurt on the outside, but it burned even more on the inside.
"It's real frustrating not being able to play to your fullest potential," Cooper said, "when you know you can go out there and dominate."
The Cooper of old has emerged in Alabama's past three games.
He caught his first long pass of the season against Kentucky and hauled in his first touchdown catch against Arkansas on a 30-yarder. In the Crimson Tide's rout of Tennessee, Cooper took
AJ McCarron's
second pass of the game, a quick screen, 54 yards for a touchdown. He finished with a season-best five catches for 75 yards.
His recent efforts have vaulted him up the stat sheet to fourth on the team with 20 receptions for 304 yards and two touchdowns.
In his first interview in more than a month, Cooper said Wednesday that he's finally playing at 100 percent health.
"It's been slowly getting better, my injuries," Cooper said. "And now I'm good to go."
Cooper missed a few plays against the Vols when he took a helmet to the knee on a short screen pass. It was a scary moment -- albeit brief -- as Cooper received a quick examination from Alabama's trainers, pedaled on a stationary bike and re-entered the game.
He made one of his toughest catches of the season shortly thereafter, fully extending his arms to grab the ball on a slant across the middle for a 14-yard gain.
"After I got hurt, I started running on the sideline and I felt good," Cooper said. "I knew I'd be good to go."
It's an ideal time for Cooper as he prepares to face an LSU team he didn't see all that much of in last year's matchup. An injury limited Cooper's abilities in the first half and he never saw the field in the final 30 minutes.
Asked if he wanted to make a statement Saturday because of what happened last year, Cooper simply said, "yeah."
"He had a good game against Tennessee and hopefully he can keep that up," right guard
Anthony Steen
said. "He'll be that much more of a threat play-action him. I hope he can keep it up."

How Sophisticated are Ant Colonies?
Ants, though pests, are amazing and fascinating creatures. Despite their small stature, the sophistication of their brains and social organization are perhaps second only to human beings. They are social insects, and as such lead a strong family-centered life that allows them to depend on one another for food, safety and even the raising of their young. Take a look at how ant colonies work.
The Hierarchy of Ants
While all ants contribute to the well-being of the colony, not all ants are born equal and perform the same jobs or maintain the same level of importance within the social setting. Here is a small peek at the different types of ants and what their roles are:
- Queen Ant – Queens have one job: breeding. They are tended to by the other ants, fed and taken care of so that they may better supply the colony with new ants to help it grow. Some colonies have multiple queens, and they can live up to an astonishing thirty years old.
- Males – like the queen, males have a single job: mating. They mate with the queen in order to replenish the supply of soldiers and workers for the colony. They only live for a single mating season.
- Soldiers – these are the ants that protect the colony from intruders. These are also the ants that humans tend to despise the most because of their tendency to bite those who come too close. The life span of these ants is uncertain and entirely dependent on the ants' ability to survive their battles.
- Workers – these ants carry out most of the day-to-day functions of the colony. They build new tunnels, find and transport food, care for the young and unborn ants and much more. These ants live for two years on average, although they accomplish more in these years than some other ants throughout their entire life span.
Ants recognize one another by the unique scent that each carries. The ant's antennae are used for touching, tasting, and smelling.
By dividing up the work into these smaller, specialized spheres, the maintenance of an entire colony is simplified and becomes much more manageable. While this social system might seem simple enough to human beings, it is actually rather sophisticated when compared to the rest of the animal kingdom. Without this detailed social system, ants might not be able to thrive as effectively as they have learned to. Understanding how ant colonies work is the first step to learning to effiicently control the ant population in yards and homes.

Nighty Night Construction Trucks is an interactive book app for children five and younger. You have options to "read to me" or "read by myself". There is a soft lullaby playing when the storybook first opens that will stop while most of the story is being told until it is time for the day to end. You are able to choose a particular page by tapping the open book icon [top left corner] on main page. It's easy to turn the pages by tapping on an arrow at the bottom right corner of each page. The storybook app is interactive and children are able to recognize by stars and sparkles with a [very light] intensity of which item(s) on the pages. Each word is highlighted in the "read to me" option which makes it easy to follow along. Nighty Night Construction Trucks is the second installment in the Nighty Night bedtime book series. Overall, it is the fourth … [Read more...]

App of the Week :: Count Dracu1 Meet My Friends
When App Developer Popcorn Grenade asked me to review their new app CountDrac1 I couldn't wait to check out this Halloween app! This is my favorite time of year as many of you know (and some even share my favorite holiday - yep, Halloween) so this was a real treat. We are greeted by CountDrac and he tells us to look around his house. Among other things we see is a coffin that when touched opens and we fin Rasta "who is sad because he is missing his teddy bear, which is to bad." But don't worry, the skeleton teddy bear is on the ground and when Count Drac hands it to this Rasta hat wearing skeleton (I mean his name is Rasta after all) he thanks his friend. Okay, so this is going to be a funny and silly app - can't wait! When you touch the skull that is sitting on what looks like a monsters feet table it giggles while opening his mouth. … [Read more...]
App of the Week :: WILD KRATTS World Adventure by PBS Kids
This week, PBS KIDS announced a brand new app called WILD KRATTS World Adventure. A must have-app for fans of the popular PBS KIDS series, WILD KRATTS, World Adventure brings animal science to life! Through 30 levels of game play, WILD KRATTS World Adventure helps build key skills and encourages science inquiry. With the app, children ages 4 to 8 can tilt and tap their way through games that help them learn how different animals live and adapt to their habitats. My daughter liked playing the woodpecker game where she had to keep pecking at the tree to get at the bug. Once she got the bug, she received points and moved up levels. The whole time she is competing against an actual woodpecker on the other side of the tree and it is a race to see who will get to the bug first. Next game we played was the Dolphin Trash Collector where she played a … [Read more...]
App of the Week :: Fraggle Rock Game Day by Cupcake Digital
I grew up watching Jim Henson's The Muppets and to this day have a soft spot for anything his company is connected to! Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock Game Day by Cupcake Digital is so fun and lively! Just open to the first page and you can see what I mean by lively - as you have the Fraggle Rock crew singing about "Dance your fears away, worries are for another day." You have the option to have it read to you or to read it yourself. The main character is Red and she announces that "Today is my Record-Breaking Day!" and she plans to "break records all day by doing everything faster... and higher... and LOUDER!" Oh boy, are we in for a fun ride! The animations are simple but I like that there are little sparkles that pop up to tell you where to touch on the screen. When we touch the character they do a little dance or pop out of a rock, or in the case of the meat-eating plant (with teeth … [Read more...]
App of the Week: Treasure Kai and the Seven Cities of Gold
We are big fans of Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island in this household as my six year old constantly goes back to this fun app! Recently, Karen Robinson released part two in the Treasure Kai series called Treasure Kai and the Seven Cities of Gold. As with the first app, you feel that you are part of an adventure and get really engrossed in the story and treasure hunting. The story is fantastic and you are immediately swept into the adventure with Kai and his best friend, Kate. The story starts off with Kate running into Kai's room telling him about an amazing dream she had about a place called Shark Island and that Kai fell into quicksand... but she wasn't able to finish because Kai shocked face made her stop her story. It turns out that Kai had the same dream! He was captured by Dead Witch Tree (love the names throughout the story) and was able to get free by using … [Read more...]
App of the Week: Brush of Truth
The Brush of Truth storybook app, written by Julie Landry Laviolette, is quite delightful and full of wonderful adventures for children ages 8-12 years of age. The story allows the reader to choose different paths you would take in the story and has 65 decision points that offers 20 different endings. The story places you and your sister, Erin, at a beach where you discover a magical paintbrush that once belonged to a medieval sorcerer. I bet you are intrigued now! As you uncover the magical powers of the paintbrush, you encounter a sea goddess, explore along the ocean floor and even get trapped in a sand castle. Middle-grade children will love the chance to chose different paths for the story and will keep coming back to try-out different story-lines to see what will happen! I know I went back several times to see where the story would progress. It is full of magic, adventure and … [Read more...]
App of the Week: Questions2Learn
Questions2Learn is a tool for therapists, teachers, and parents to use to help individuals understand and answer who, what, when, and where questions. One of the things I love about this app is that the creator, Leanne Pool, uses her therapy dogs to help encourage children learn how to read. She told me that she worked with the organization called Human Animal Bond and would bring her dogs in to help. This is what she had to say about her dogs, Moca and Dakota, and how they help children and seniors: "Moca and Dakota, my dogs, and are shown on my website & in my app. We volunteered through an organization called Human Animal Bond in Leavenworth, KS. Moca was a big hit in the school setting with the kids who read to her. She loved it. Dakota went into hospitals and nursing homes mostly. My dream is to open up a private practice for Speech/Language Therapy using my dogs in … [Read more...]
App of the Week: The Prisoner of Carrot Castle
Teaching kids the importance of eating quality foods is something I am quite passionate about. One of the reasons I decided to get my masters in nutrition was because I wanted to know how best to take care of myself and my family as I truy believe that healthy foods are key to good health. So when I came across Chris Pedersen's app The Prisoner of Carrot Castle - I was sold as it teaches kids how to eat healthy in a fun way. Ms. Pedersen does a great job teaching little ones the importance of healthy foods set in a magical world and Kate Jeong has done a wonderful job at illustrating this gorgeous and fun story. I had a chance to speak to Chris Pedersen about her company, Purple Carrot Books, and her fun storybook app The Prisoner of Carrot Castle. Tell us how Purple Carrot Books came about? While The Prisoner of Carrot Castle was in development as an app, I decided to … [Read more...]
App of the Week: Rhyme-n-Time with Jane and Blayne
Rhyme-n-Time with Jane and Blayne This is a fun and educational app that helps teach little ones how to match words that rhyme. My five year old was able to pick which words would rhyme by looking at the picture and understanding what the word meant. It was a fun exercise for her to practice how to recognize words that rhyme and she really enjoyed it. That is always the best way to learn - having fun! Here is an excerpt from their website about the app: An educational app that focuses on, as you might guess, rhyming. Your child will have to find words that rhyme and words that do not in a fun format. There is also a wonderful rhyming story that goes along with the game. You can keep track of how your child is doing on a stats screen we provide. It shows you how many questions were answered correctly on the first, second and third tries. This app will not only teach your … [Read more...]

ode to a memory… or how i'll choose to remember it
March 11, 2012
today we went adventuring. we danced over the clouds
of our greatest laments, then walked through
the tallest of weeds, taller than our
grandest deeds.
and i read Plath to you
and you read Parland to me
and then
we read
each other.
we sat on tree stumps, picked buttercups and
flicked off the flies. we pulled off burrs from
each other's hair and laughed when our
clothes got caught on loose
branches and laughed when
we stumbled on words
and laughed when you
lifted my skirt
and i pinched
your nipples
and plucked
your nads.
and we laughed
and laughed
at the absurdity of it all.
we talked about everything we loved and everything
we didn't love and we just sat and sat and said
nothing for a long long time
and relished the silence.
in the silence.

Ndue Praçe's Tower is located near the center of Theth, in the neighborhood "Gjeçaj". This characteristic tower was built in 1820 and was reconstructed in 2011. It is built with carved stones outside and with woodwork inside. On the base floor is the kitchen, where foods get prepared. On the first floor there is a lounge area of 40 m2, including a big dining table, a fireplace and a heating stove. On this floor, in addition to the salon, is also a bathroom, which includes toilet and shower. On the second floor there are two bedrooms, each has respectively: three single beds + a clothing rack + three personal comedies + a table with three chairs + cooler + balcony. On the third floor are two bedrooms, one of which is with three single beds (with a personal comedy) and the other has two single beds (which can be joined together) + a bed for children (with two comedies). These rooms include: a refrigerator + a clothing rack + a bathroom (shower and toilet).
External environments are green, surrounded by various trees as plums, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc. These environments also include fields with crops of the season and decorative flowers. The area around the tower has tables with umbrellas, which enable the eating outdoors (nature). In addition to dining tables, there are some special tables with benches, made with oak wood to relax with coffee or refreshments. The tower is bounded by the Shala River, where beyond the bridge; the brothers Zef and Kolë Toma have built several springs (water resources) in 1905. These springs were reconstructed in 2011 by their grandson Ndue Praçe, making them functional again and allowing tourists to drink fresh mountain water.
Also is provided a special environment for camping with tents, where to the vacationers is also made available a cooking place in the nature + electricity + warm water for showers. The facilities include parking spaces for the means of transport and a volleyball court for all holidaymakers.
Our guest house offers traditional food for the tourist, where all the ingredients are produced there by the family, as for example: bread wheat and maize, cow's milk, butter, cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, meat and all kinds of fresh vegetables.

Re-shaping hysteretic behaviour using resetable devices to customise structural response and forces
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/95
Semi-active dampers have significant capability to reduce wind and seismic structural response. A novel resetable device with independent valve control laws that enable semi-active re-shaping of the overall structural hysteretic behaviour has been recently developed and validated. Three methods of re-shaping structural hysteretic dynamics are statistically analysed in a performance-based seismic design context. Response reduction factors from the uncontrolled case are obtained across a spectrum of structural natural periods for displacement response, structural force, and total base shear. Overall results indicate that reduction factors are suite (near-field versus far-field) invariant. Resisting all motion and resetting at zero velocity adds damping in all four quadrants and showed 40-60% reductions in the structural force and displacement at the cost of a 20-60% increase in total base-shear. Resisting only motion away from equilibrium adds damping in quadrants I and 3, and gave reductions of 20-40%, with a 20-50% increase in total base-shear. However, only resisting motion towards equilibrium added damping in quadrants 2 and 4 only,, for which the structural responses and total base-shear were reduced 20-40%. The reductions in both response and base-shear indicate the appeal of this unique, semi-active hysteresis sculpting approach for seismic retrofit applications largely due to the reduction of the force and overturning demands on the foundation system

What Can Women Do To Prevent Unwanted Pregnancy?
The times change and the lifestyle forces women to make hard choices. One of the most significant steps in life is a baby, and a family has to plan for it accordingly. Unwanted pregnancy will bring happiness to both husband and the wife, but it also brings some problems.
An unplanned child can bring strife into the family as everyone has to make some significant changes in their life to adapt to the new addition. A child is always welcome, but it requires preparations, and unexpected pregnancy doesn't allow for it.
Controlling the pregnancy without abortion
Abortion is the worst way to manage your pregnancy, and it can lead to complication down the road. It's best to avoid this type of birth control as it is both unethical (according to some) and it can cause medical complications that might prevent any future chances of giving birth. Other options you will find on this list are way more efficient and safe than abortion.
Birth control patch is an option that is around 90% effective. It is a safe way to prevent the pregnancy, and you don't need a doctor to take it. Just pop one on your skin every three weeks, and you will reduce the risk of becoming pregnant.
Birth control pills are a popular and quite effective way to prevent pregnancy. The effectiveness of birth control pills varies, depending on the brand. High-quality pills will make it impossible for you to get pregnant while cheap substitutes will give you a nasty surprise. If you choose pills, then select a well-known brand to avoid the chance of the pill failure.
Condoms are the most common and, according to some, most effective form of birth control. The only way in which the condom will fail is if it is faulty, which can be the case with brands that aren't well-known and respected. If you use Durex or other respected labels, then the chances of becoming pregnant are almost non-existent.
ParaGard – The optimal birth control solution
ParaGard is the insertion-type of birth control, and thus it isn't the only option that works in that way. But ParaGard is an excellent birth control option, and it can work with other options to ensure that no unexpected pregnancy happens. It does require a doctor to insert it correctly, but that is a price you will have to pay for a safe way to prevent pregnancy.
