The Arizona Employment Protection Act and the At-Will Employment Relationship

admin

Arizona employers and employees have an “at will” relationship, which means that employers are free to fire employees without notice or reason, and employees are free to resign at any time without notice or reason. Of course, the at-will employment relationship is subject to the obligation of both parties to comply with other legal requirements, including contractual duties and compliance with various federal and state anti-harassment and discrimination laws.

To reduce the amount of wrongful termination and related litigation, the Arizona legislature enacted the Arizona Employment Protection Act in 1996. The Act established certain guidelines designed to clarify what did and did not constitute wrongful termination under Arizona law. Prior to the enactment of the Arizona Employment Protection Act, employers faced numerous lawsuits based on alleged oral promises and implied obligations, with divergent results depending on the judge or jury. Several of those results had served to expand an employee’s right to sue in a way that the legislature found unacceptable.

The Arizona Employment Protection Act contains at least four important provisions that all Arizona employers and employees should be aware of:

First, there is a one-year limitation period for claims for breach of an employment contract or for unjustified dismissal. This means that such claims must be filed within one year from the termination date, significantly shortening the six-year contract limitation period that was previously applicable to some claims. However, significantly, this limitation period does not apply to claims under the Arizona Civil Rights Law or pursuant to federal law arising from unlawful discrimination due to, among other things, race, sex, disability, or age.

Second, there is an established presumption that employment relationships can be terminated at will, and that presumption will prevail unless there is an express written agreement to the contrary. Typically, this will require a written contract signed by both parties, or an unequivocal warranty outlined in an employee handbook or handbook.

Third, the Arizona Employee Protection Act limits employee wrongful termination claims to express claims of breach of contract (described above), claims specifically permitted by Arizona statute, and claims of “public policy” torts. . Importantly, even these claims are limited to cases where an involved law does not in itself provide for redress. Tort claims involve circumstances in which an employee is fired for refusing to break the law, or reports an employer they believe is breaking the law.

Finally, the Act expands sexual harassment claims so that certain claims can be made even when federal sexual harassment laws do not apply.

At the end of the day, the Arizona Employment Protection Act creates a legal environment in which it can be very difficult to successfully file a claim against an Arizona employer. Of course, every situation is different and the law is constantly changing, and if you believe your rights have been violated or you have been accused of wrongdoing, you should speak with an experienced Arizona employment attorney to determine what your rights and obligations are.

A quick guide to the female genitalia

admin

Being able to experience great sex is an important part of any relationship, and a relationship that experiences great sex is an important goal in your personal development. A greater understanding of sex is necessary, as many of the biggest problems related to sex and sexuality revolve around a lack of knowledge.

While knowledge of the male genitalia is reasonably straightforward, given that most of the important parts for experiencing great sex are on the outside of the body and are easily visible, this is not the case for the female genitalia, as the parts most important to her are inside her body. So today I would like to introduce you to the different parts of your woman’s genitals, in the hope that this will allow you to understand what the different parts are and how you can use them to improve your sex life.

Then let’s get started!

ON THE OUTSIDE: Starting at the top, is the mons pubis, anterior commissure, and vulva, consisting of the labia majora, labia minora, frenulum, clitoral hood, clitoral glans, vestibule (which consists of the urinary meatus and introitus), the hairpin, and the perineum.

INSIDE: Starting at the top is the pubic bone, clitoral shaft, abutment, vestibular bulbs, urethral sponge, urethra, Grafenberg’s spot, anterior fornix, vagina, cervix, and the perineal sponge. .

EXTERIOR GENITALIA

1 / MONS VENUS, sometimes called mons veneris (but I like Venus better) is a woman’s “mound of love” and is located on the pubic bone and on top of the vulva. It can be used in genital massage as it contains some erectile tissue below the surface.

2 / The FRONT COMMISSURE is a small area of ​​flesh between the lower part of the mons Venus and the upper part of the clitoral hood. It is sensitive and will excite your woman if you touch her. It is best used to position the upper lip of the mouth during cunnilingus (oral sex in women).

3 / The VULVA is the main area of ​​the external female genitalia and encompasses most of the parts mentioned below. It is the focus of attention for both sexual intercourse and oral sex.

4 / LABIA MAJOR are the external fleshy lips of the vulva and are generally covered with hair. They are best used during genital massage and often cover the labia minora completely or almost completely, while in other women, the labia minora hang between them.

5 / LABIA MINORA are the soft and thin inner lips of the vulva. They are very sensitive and their movement can stimulate the clitoris. They can be touched with the fingers, the tongue or the penis and this can be very pleasant for the woman.

6 / FRENULUM is the point where the upper part of the labia minora meets the lower part of the clitoral hood. It is extremely sensitive and is best stimulated with the tongue during oral sex, although fingers can also be used.

7 / The CLITORAL BELL is the fold of skin that surrounds the glans and the axis of the clitoris. It is designed to protect the clitoris from too much stimulation. For this reason, women often touch it during masturbation, rather than touching the glans directly. You can lick it during oral sex to give your woman pleasure, as well as massage it between two fingers or gently roll it between your fingers and thumb to stimulate the clitoral shaft inside.

8 / The CLITORAL GLANS is the center of the universe for female sexual pleasure when it comes to the outside! It is best stimulated with the tongue during oral sex, as it is very sensitive. You can also use wet (not dry) fingers to produce a clitoral orgasm for your woman.

9 / The LOBBY is the area inside the labia minora. It goes from the frenulum to the hairpin. Everything in it is pleasant to the touch for a woman and is the main area used to stimulate a woman during cunnilingus. You can also use your hands or penis to stimulate this area if your wife finds it pleasant.

10 / The URINARY MEATUS is the small hole through which you urinate. It is generally sensitive to digital (finger) and oral stimulation and is often pleasurable for a woman.

11 / The INTROITE is the entrance to the vagina. It is highly innervated with many nerve endings and has the urethral sponge at the top and the perineal sponge at the bottom, below the surface of the vaginal walls. It is pleasant to the touch through the tongue, fingers or penis.

12 / The FOUR CHAT is the lower fold of the skin that completes the labia minora in the lower part of the vestibule. It is sensitive and pleasant. It can be used as a substitute for the anterior commissure by placing the upper lip on a woman for oral sex from behind.

13 / The PERINEUM is the space between the fork and the anus. Pressing here with the fingers or the penis will stimulate the perineal sponge below the surface of the skin, producing pleasant sensations.

INTERNAL GENITALIA

1 / PUBLIC BONE can be used to grind during girl-on-top sex positions and protect female genitalia during intercourse.

2 / The CLITORAL AXIS is inside the clitoral hood and is the part of the clitoris that most women stimulate during masturbation. It feels like a thin cord moving inside. Massaging and touching the hood will stimulate the shaft to create a clitoral erection that will excite your woman for sex.

3 / The CRURA are the two “roots” of the clitoris that form a fuze shape around the area below the surface of the labia majora. They extend to the pelvic floor. Firmly massaging the labia majora will indirectly stimulate the clitoris through these “roots.”

4 / VESTIBULAR BULBS are areas of erectile tissue that surround the pillars that expand when filled with blood. They can be stimulated by firmly pressing the labia majora from the outside. They are responsible for “inflating” the vulva in appearance when the woman is aroused.

5 / The URETHRAL SPONGE consists of Skene’s glands that fill with ejaculatory fluid similar to the prostate when the woman is excited. Firm pressure on the G-spot in the form of “milking” and a “push” by the woman as if she were going to give birth causes the fluid to leave the glands and into the urethra, from where it leaves the body through the urinary meatus during female ejaculation. It is located above the vaginal opening and can also be stimulated from the introitus with the fingers.

6 / The URETHRA is a tube that generally carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body during urination. However, it is also used for female ejaculation to get out of the ejaculatory fluid from the Skene glands. It is inside the urethral sponge (the sponge surrounds it on all sides, as if it were going to be placed around a water pipe).

7 / The GRAFENBERG POINT, or G-spot, is not exactly a point, but rather an area on the front wall of the vagina, about 2 inches into the introitus. Firmly pressing on this with your fingers or penis will bring pleasure to the woman and give her a G-spot orgasm.

8 / The FORNIX ANTERIOR is an area deep within the vagina along the front wall, near the cervix. If you press it firmly, an A point (or a “deep” or “cervical” orgasm) will occur. It is best stimulated with two fingers, palm up (the index and middle fingers).

9 / The VAGINA is the empty space used during intercourse and filled by the penis. It consists of soft vaginal walls that contain nerve endings that can cause pleasure. These walls feel ridged to the touch when the woman is not aroused, but soften and expand when she is. It can accommodate almost any size of penis, although lengths greater than 9 inches can cause pain.

10 / The CERVIX is a tough, tough, donut-shaped muscle with a hole in the middle. Its function is to allow sperm to enter the uterus to fertilize an egg, but not the penis. It can be reached with the middle finger when she is not around, but moves backward during arousal. The penis collides with him during intercourse.

11 / The PERINEAL SPONGE is located on the posterior wall of the vagina near the introitus. It is made of tissue similar to the urethral sponge. Placing the index finger on the perineum on the outside and the thumb on the sponge on the inside and massaging in this way will produce pleasure for the woman and an “anal” orgasm (even when the anus is not being touched).

So I hope this information helps you find your way around your woman’s genitalia and improves your lovemaking skills so that you can enjoy the amazing sex you’ve always wanted!

English Bulldog Adoption – Is It For You?

admin

Adopting an English bulldog is something that should be taken very seriously. Bulldogs are very popular. This adorable breed is number 8 on the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) 2009 Most Popular Dog List. Their sweet and gentle nature combined with their wonderfully soft faces and rolling gait make them irresistible to many. However, Bulldogs are quite expensive relative to many other dog breeds. The cost can be prohibitive for many families looking to add a bully to the mix. Naturally, many people view adopting a bulldog as an inexpensive way to get one. While the initial cost may be less than buying a bulldog from a respected breeder, the long-term costs can be enormous.

Because bulldogs are so popular and expensive, relatively healthy and socially adapted bulldogs have rarely been available for adoption. That said, with the recent economic downturn, there has been a rise in healthy, socialized bulldogs put up for adoption as people lose their homes. However, in general, bulldogs with serious behavioral problems and / or serious medical problems are the dogs that are available for adoption. These dogs are still adorable and deserve an amazing home and should be adopted, but you should keep in mind that adopting a bulldog may not be the bargain you are looking for.

Where to look

If you are looking for a bulldog, look at the Bulldog Club of America (BCA). This is THE organization for bulldogs. This club has been around even longer than the American Kennel Club (AKC). The BCA is passionate about the health and wellness of bulldogs.

The rescue arm of this organization is extraordinary! Please note that they only work with purebred bulldogs. Bulldog mixes can be found by searching other shelters such as the ASPCA. The BCA is extremely demanding about who they allow to adopt their rescued dogs.

Be sure to check out other bulldog rescue organizations in your area.

Real Estate

You bought a renter-occupied property but don’t know anything about the property management

admin

Uh oh. But it is not uncommon.

Let me start by saying that managing your own properties is the way to go.

Why?

Because you must know the laws and what you can and cannot do as a homeowner. You may not be interested in managing the properties yourself and plan to hire a management company immediately. * Warning *: If you don’t understand property management, you won’t know how to hire a property management company or if they are doing a good job. I’m pretty sure when I say that most property management companies are no good.

Now, to the problem at hand: There is a tenant on your property!

1. When you bought the property, you should have received deposits and tenant contracts from the previous owner. If it didn’t, it started badly. If the landlord says they had no contracts or deposits with the tenant, but the tenant says they had a contract with the previous landlord, ask the tenant for copies of the contract they have. If they are also unable to submit a contract, there is nothing to force you to abide by the above terms.

2. Hopefully, you have received the tenant’s deposits because when you move in, you want something to cover the repairs that you will need to make, and you will also be responsible for refunding any deposit they have paid that is not used for unpaid rent or damage. (even if it was paid to the previous owner who did not pass it on to you).

3. You are legally bound to abide by any previous contracts and the terms that the tenants have (again, as long as you have a copy of these agreements). Consumer protection laws protect the tenant and bind him to his previous agreements until those agreements expire.

4. If there is no lease, send all tenants their own new leases immediately. They are allowed to sign or move. You will then manage your property according to your terms.

5. Owning a property and managing tenants are two very different businesses. You must learn to manage the property if you are going to have tenants. I wrote a book, The Essential Handbook for Landlords, available on Amazon, which is a great starting point.

You own the property, you are the one in charge. You need good contracts and it is essential that you know the local laws and how to manage tenants.

6. When you decide to hire a property management company (PM), know that it is managed by your paperwork and rules. I was a PM business owner for years and most of the owners came up with their own pre-signed contracts and rules. Some allowed pets, some did not; some allowed smoking, some did not, etc., etc. We enforced the rules of the owners. What you do with your property is up to you: the PM company enforces its rules (if the company is good …).

The management of properties and / or tenants goes back to contracts. And your local laws. Every state is different. Know your laws.

Also, owning rental properties is a business. When any tenant is “bad”, even behind on their payments, begin the eviction IMMEDIATELY. I listen compassionately to your reasons, but the rules are the rules and don’t bend them for none because if you give in to one, you have to give in to all (consumer protection laws, again).

Have you ever bought a property with a tenant already installed?

To help! A Pokémon is invading my lawn

admin

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock since July 6, 2016, at least you know that millions of people around the world now spend every spare moment hunting Pokémon. (For the uninitiated who are about to correct my grammar, I’m sure Pokémon is both singular and plural, there are no ‘Pokemons’). It’s an international obsession, which saw the new ‘Pokemon Go’ app downloaded more than 15 million times in the first 6 days after its launch in Australia, Japan, and the United States.

What is a Pokémon? Technically, it is a small creature found in video games. Catch one and you can train it to help you fight others. The basic concept hasn’t changed, although (believe it or not) Pokémon are now 20 years old. That was how long ago was when some smart computer scientists dreamed up the Pokémon video game for Nintendo’s Game Boy handheld. At that stage, most people didn’t have access to the internet, and Pokémon were strictly offline beasts. Still, according to Wikipedia, the Pokémon franchise has sold around 280 million units, making it the second most popular game franchise in history, based on unit sales. The franchise’s gross revenue has surpassed $ 46 billion during that period, which could technically make the Pokémon empire bigger than Greenland or the Cayman Islands. Those guys should seriously think about getting a national dragon!

For the past two years, some other smart people who work at Niantic, partly owned by Nintendo, have been walking away, or should I say ‘pokemon’ (yes, that’s a real word) to produce the latest and greatest edition ever released. . on July 6, 2016. On that date, the cages were opened and the Pokémon ran, swam, and flew to the four corners of the earth where they can be found today. Right now. Can I see them. Of course, I can only see them through my Android mirror, but Niantic promises that very soon I will have my own personal ‘Pokemon Go Plus’ wearable device, a kind of lapel clip, which will alert me to the presence of a Pokemon nearby. and let me look it up without touching my phone. Wherever you go on earth, you’ll see these lapel clips, buzzing around. Buzz. Buzz. And you thought cell phones ringing in cinemas was a distraction!

Why does this matter anyway? Be patient while I put on my geek boy glasses for a moment. First of all, Pokemon Go is a kind of ‘augmented reality’ system. Many individuals and organizations have tried to bring these systems into the mainstream, without commercial success. The initial popularity of Pokemon Go shows that augmented reality could really be a new revolution at our doorstep, changing our lives more than texting and selfies (for example). Hunting Pokémon is just the beginning of this revolution. Second, the convergence of artificial intelligence and augmented reality opens the door to a world where constant companions will be with us wherever we go, greatly enriching our experience of the world. Think of Siri in Anavar.

Some readers will remember ‘Clippy’ and other attempts to purportedly enrich user experiences with desktop productivity software. If you don’t remember Clippy, consider yourself lucky. Clippy was an irritating wannabe that sometimes made you feel like hitting the screen just to make it go away. And maybe that’s the point here. We do not want enrichment imposed on us. What we want is an enrichment that is there when we need it or choose it, like a friend in our life whom we invite to come to places with us. Pokémon can be seductive and magnetic, but they don’t invade our space unless we accept it. In short, friends are for when we want to play or share experiences and sometimes when we want to open our hearts to a good listener. News Flash: Dr. Pokemon will see you now.

However, sometimes friends lead you astray and get you in trouble, and apparently “‘I was collecting Pokémon’ is not a legal defense,” according to Western Australian police. Really? So if I chase my imaginary monster friend into your backyard, can’t I plead insanity? (Find “Pokemon insanity” online. That’s one thing). Heard people are putting up signs on their properties now, telling Pokemon trainers not to go in there. In fact, some attorneys are suggesting that if you come on my property and take my Pokémon it is robbery. You have been warned.

Five Steps to Creating a Goal Medal Life – Part I

admin

The Olympics come and go. As always, it is

an exciting event with its dramatic twists and turns,

joys, surprises and disappointments like these great

athletes performed at their peak in front of millions, if not

billions of fans for the glory of representing their country

You too can experience the same emotion in your life.

What are you doing now to achieve your “goal” medal?

You don’t need to be a world-class athlete to achieve

success in life. However, you can use many of the same

techniques these athletes use to achieve their goals.

The following are five tips to help you stand on the

platform of the winner in life:

1. Create passion with goal setting

Take the time to write down goals that excite you. Ask

yourself the following questions:

* How will I feel when I achieve these goals?

* What prevents me from achieving these goals today?

* What are the times and dates I want to achieve these?

goals?

* What resources do I need to achieve these goals?

* What is my plan B, or side route, to achieve these

goals?

2. Believe in greatness

Once you’ve created your goals, take the time to visualize

His achievements. World-class athletes envision the

victory before it happens. Take it 15 to 30 minutes just before.

do you go to bed or wake up in the morning and do the

following:

* Find a quiet place.

* Calm your mind, slowing down your breathing.

* Visualize that you are already achieving whatever goal you want

I want to achieve. How does it look? As it does

feel?

World-class athletes prepare yesterday, today,

and tomorrow for success through intense training and

sacrifice. What are you doing to prepare for your

success? Do a self-analysis to see how prepared you are

are today in relation to their objectives and what resources

and skills you need to acquire to achieve your goals. What

sacrifices you are willing to make in order to achieve

your goals? If it’s a promotion, find out what skills,

education, and resources are required to obtain that position.

If it’s a six-figure income, what sacrifices are you willing to make?

do to realize? Less television, more education?

I always say, “If you want something strong enough, act like

you’ve got it. ”That’s what champions do.

they already believe they will win a championship, a title, a

gold medal. They have a positive and hopeful attitude

and set the bar for others to try to vacuum.

I love tennis. One of my favorite tennis players is Roger.

Federer, the number one player in the world. When looking

he plays, I can see that he owns the court. In its tranquility, but

confidently, he tells his opponent, “I am # 1, I am

the best! “Then he goes out and wins. With his positive

attitude, expect to win every time.

How can this principle be applied? Well an example is if

you are a manager and you want to be promoted to vice

president, act like a vice president today. That means

dress like a vice president, make decisions like a vice president

president, leading people like a vice president, etc. Also

what it means is delegating certain tasks so that you can

learn the skills required of a vice president (read Delegate for

Accelerate Success). Do you hope to be successful in any

project you are involved with?

3. Create a group of masterminds

There is a saying, “A wise person learns from his own

mistakes, a wiser person learns from other people

mistakes. “That is what a group of experts will do for you.

Winning athletes have an intellectual group to

they make fewer mistakes and take less time to achieve their goals.

A group of masterminds is a variety of people dedicated to

give you the best advice, comments, training, etc., so that

you can achieve your goals faster. The group of the mastermind too

it gives you encouragement when you need it. In sports, this

It can be a coach, a coach, a physical trainer, a manager and

agent. In your situation at work, it could be the following:

* A mentor who has intensive corporate knowledge and can

maneuvering around “corporate land mines”

* A human resources specialist with in-depth knowledge of

skills needed for a promotion

* A manager who wants to show his skills to impress

your manager

* If you are thinking about or have already started a business,

it could be the following:

* Lawyer (s)

* Accountant

* Expert fee

* Business partner in non-competitive field

* Retired executive

* Association leaders

* Customers

Note: Be very careful about who you allow into your

group of masterminds. Ask yourself: “Who can help me achieve

my goals through skills, knowledge and honest feedback? ”

Honest feedback is the key. You don’t want people to say “yes”

Around you; Do you want people to test you positive?

feedback that will put you back on track to success.

4. Accept the challenges

World-class athletes accept all challenges as a way to

to go to the next level. They have a “bring it up”

attitude and you can see it in their eyes. They realize that the

the focus is on them and they enjoy it. They are bold in their

actions and are not afraid of making mistakes. If they make a

they are wrong or have a defeat, they “own” them. What i mean by

“admit your mistakes” is that they say, “I did the

mistakes today “, or” I didn’t play to my full potential today. ”

By appropriating their mistakes, they appropriate

for their actions. By taking ownership of your shares,

take responsibility for improving your performance. They take

time to learn from any setback.

What challenges await you at work? How can you

improve your community by taking a leadership role? What

Are challenges waiting for you at home? Face them, hug them

learn from them and grow with them.
