We are currently living in a state of uncertainty and mass panic, but it does not have to stay that way. There is a lot that you can do to get you and your family through the COVID-19 pandemic that is currently hitting the whole world. Though no one truly knows how to prepare for something like this, there are steps that can be taken to protect you and your family from the virus as  much as possible.

Advice on Surviving the Current Pandemic

You have likely been flooded with tons of advice at this point. Healthcare professionals are recommending washing your hands, not touching your face, and, in many areas, are enforcing social distancing to attempt to flatten the curve of illness. It is also important to consider the following:

1. If you fall into the high risk category, then you should be engaging in as little contact with the outside world as possible. We’ve heard from many professionals that the virus isn’t lethal for most people, but is very dangerous for important segments of the population and it spreads like wildfire. If you are in this category, please do your best to avoid catching it.

2. If you fall into the lower risk group, try to avoid close contact with anyone in the high risk group. You do not want to be responsible for grandma getting sick. Even if you feel 100% fine, and symptoms have been reported as mild, you could still be an active carrier for the virus.

3. Stock up on survival food. This does not mean panic-buy everything at the store. People have already been doing so, and stores are suffering because of it. Stock up when you can on emergency survival food (non perishables), they will be useful at some point.

4. Make sure you have all other essential supplies. There is a Bug out bag guide on Raving Trends that can help you determine what the essential supplies are, and what they are used for. Remember, you do not need a two-year supply of anything so be conscientious of the rest of society when purchasing high demand foods.

5. Remember how this pandemic feels, and know that whatever comes next will likely be worse. Be prepared for anything to happen.

If you are really worried about the threat of a global pandemic, then you need to be prepared. If you are prepared, you will be able to minimize the chances that you and your loved ones get affected. This has shown to spread through interaction and human contact, so minimizing your contact with the outside world for a period of time can almost guarantee you won’t get sick (though there are unfortunate circumstances).

There are some things that you can do to decrease your likelihood of getting sick. A lot of them may seem like common sense, but given where we are right now, a refresher is not the worst thing.

• Wash your hands as often as possible. If you can, use alcohol based hand sanitizer, especially after interacting with other people. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap. If you sneeze or cough, wash your hands immediately after.
• When possible, stay away from crowded places.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands if you can avoid it. Just try not to touch your face.
• Avoid being in close contact with anyone who is sick.
• Clean and disinfect areas that you touch frequently in your home with disinfecting wipes or something similar.
• If you do have to enter a crowded area, be smart. Do not touch anyone, sanitize your carts and baskets, and encourage those who are sick to wear a face mask so they will not spread it on to others.

Prepare to Survive a More Dangerous Global Pandemic

Though by definition COVID-19 is a global pandemic, it is not yet a deadly global pandemic. If you want to be ready for a genuine pandemic, then you need to prepare beyond the normal recommendations.

If a pandemic is being spread from person to person via airborne transmission, avoid contact with the outside world. You can’t get sick if you avoid everyone else. The problem is, most people are not prepared to hunker down for more than a few days. So, when a deadly pandemic does occur, you will have no choice but to interact with the outside world to get the equipment and supplies you need to survive.

Though they have been mocked in the past, people who take part in prepping are better off right now. It may not guarantee that you are completely out of harm’s way, but it can help offer peace of mind that if anything truly catastrophic happened, you are reasonably prepared. Being properly prepared means that you need to cover your basic survival needs as laid out by the survival rule of three. Make sure you have water access and some food stockpiled.

There is not much we can do at this point to completely avoid COVID-19, but there are steps that can be taken to protect you and your family. Stay safe out there, everyone. And please remember to wash your hands!

Know the Facts: What is Considered a Disability Under Employment Laws?

Have you ever questioned what the disability laws are? The American With Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law that protects people who have disabilities from being discriminated against… CONTINUE READING >> 

Have you ever questioned what the disability laws are?

The American With Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law that protects people who have disabilities from being discriminated against. The ADA also protects discrimination against people with disabilities who are in public accommodations, transportation, and state/local government services.

Are you or someone you know working with a legal disability? Do you know what is considered a disability under the ADA? Here are the facts.

Disability Discrimination

If an employer that is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act treats a qualified employee with a disability unfavorably, this can be a violation of the law.

The law enforces that the employer must provide reasonable accommodation to the employee or job applicant unless it creates “an undue” hardship to the employer (causing significant difficulty to get the job done or considerable expense to the employer).

Situations that are considered illegal if an employer were to take negative actions solely based on an individuals disability would include:

• Termination
• Hiring
• Payscale
• Promotions
• Training
• Fringe benefits
• Job Assignments
• Layoff
• Benefits
• Leave

Any other term or condition that falls under employment law would be reviewed and taken into account.

Employers That Cover ADA

Job discrimination is considered illegal under ADA if the employer is:

• A privately owned employer
• Local government and state government
• Employment agencies
• Labor unions

The ADA also enforces rules set by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

These rules state that employers with 25 or more employees are covered by the law (after July 26, 1992). Then, later was changed to employers with 15 or more employees (after July 26, 1994).

What is a Reasonable Accommodation?

A reasonable accommodation is any adjustment or change to the work field or space that would allow a qualified employer to participate in any job function.

Reasonable accommodation may include:

• Job restructuring
• Modifying work schedules or part-time work instead of full-time work
• Reassigning a vacant position within the company
• Making the workspace accessible using ramps or other devices
• Modifying training materials, policies or adjusting examinations
This is a requirement by an entity or employer that is covered under ADA.

Can Employers Ask Questions About My Disability or Require a Medical Examination?

The answer is no. The employer does not have the right to point out or ask if you have any disabilities.

However, an employer may ask you if you can perform the specific duties of the job without reasonable accommodation. The employer can ask how you will be able to perform the job with reasonable accommodation.

What is Considered a Disability?

A disability can be considered a wide range of impairments. Some of the most common disabilities include:

• Deafness
• Cancer
• Epilepsy
• Diabetes
• Mobility Impairment
• Cerebral Palsy
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Missing limbs
• Multiple Sclerosis

The ADA gives specific guidance on what’s not considered an impairment. The following are not considered an impairment:

• Kleptomania
• Transvestism
• Homosexuality
• Exhibitionism
• Pedophilia
• Voyeurism
• Personality Traits
• Exhibitionism
• Bisexuality
• Transgenderism

Check the ADA website to check for all regulations as to what is and isn’t considered a disability.

What Do I Do If I’m Being Discriminated Against?

If you have what is considered a disability and feel you are being discriminated against, gather as much information about your situation and contact any EEOC field office in your area.

They can give you more information on how to file a charge of discrimination. You’ll also want to find an attorney that specializes in disability discrimination lawsuits. If the employer is found at fault, you may be eligible for reinstatement, back pay, or reassignment of duties.

Zwift, The Treadmill Running App You Can Take With You

Are you one of those individuals that constantly finds yourself on the road? Maybe you travel for work, maybe you just like to travel, or maybe you are constantly visiting friends and family out of state. 

Whatever the situation is, there is no denying that traveling can make things tough. It might be fun and enjoyable at times, but it makes taking care of yourself more difficult. Not only in terms of hygiene, but in terms of fitness as well. 

You combine this with all the eating on the go and it will be easy to see how one could easily get out of shape. Well, this doesn’t have to be the case anymore because there is a new on the go fitness app called Zwift and now Zwift is available for runners because they have now made their app compatible with treadmills with their latest product, the Zwift treadmill footpods.

The good thing is, you no longer have to own a Zwift treadmill just to get started. With their foot pods you can get started on any treadmill at any gym.

What Is Zwift?

Zwift is a revolutionary new working and gaming app that is going to transform the way you are working out. Whether you haven’t been working or slacking off, this app is going to completely change everything for you. 

Not only will it make your workout funner, but it is going to make them more effective. Simply put, Zwift is where it is at when it comes to fitness. 

All that aside, Zwift really isn’t something that is all that new. In fact, it was founded and released in 2014 as a massive multiplayer online game focused solely through cycling with indoor exercise bikes, not yet available for treadmill runners.

The game allowed players to cycle through 7 different virtual worlds. It was available on devices like PC, iOS, and Android.

Regardless to say, the thing was an instant hit. It wasn’t long before the app started gaining major recognition. By 2018 the number had risen to more than half a million. And, this is why the company decided to extend the app to include running so that people could use Zwift with their treadmills at home. 

The Zwift treadmill app is still in beta, but it sure is looking more than promising to be a huge success with indoor treadmill runners. Zwift’s treadmill running programs were specifically designed by elite coaches from around the world to ensure that you become the best version of yourself possible. It was designed to remove the guesswork. And, the best part is that you can customize it to your specific fitness level. Are you a fast runner? Are you a slow treadmill walker? Or anything in between? Zwift has got you covered.

It doesn’t matter if you are just starting or have been running for years, Zwift is going to make the entire process all that more exciting. While the app is still in beta, it pretty much has everything covered.

Maybe you are prepping for an upcoming 5k. No problem, because the app has that covered. It gives you the option to go at it alone or join a group as you run in the real world while you watch your avatar make its way through the virtual world. The worlds are designed to keep you engaged while talking you through varying environments.

You can explore everything from jungles to just sprinting along the countryside. Whatever your pleasure is, Zwift has you covered. 

Excited? Wondering how to get started and what you need?

Do I Need A Zwift Treadmill? Or Does It Work With Any Treadmill?

This is where things get kind of confusing, but not to worry because everything will be broken down for you here. The short answer to this question is yes, but the best answer would probably be no. What exactly does this mean? Well, it means that Zwift will work with any treadmill.

However, you will not get 100% compatibility. This means that you won’t be privy to all the awesome features. You simply won’t get the best experience possible if you do not have a Zwift compatible treadmill, but you can still use the app and still enjoy most of its features. And, while just a fraction of Zwift is awesome, if you want to experience it to the fullest, you will want to take advantage of everything that it has to offer.

Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to run out and buy a new treadmill or a treadmill at all. You will, however, need to purchase a small device known as a foot pod. Footpods are small devices that allow you to measure and broadcast your speed, cadence, and distance.

These devices can sync up with your Zwift app via Bluetooth. Foot pods have also been around for some time now, but the newer versions are the ones that will calibrate with this app.

There is one slight disadvantage and that disadvantage is the inaccuracy. If you simply change running shoes, you will need to recalibrate. You will also need to ensure that the pod is attached in the same position every time you run.

Why Is Zwift Good For People Who Travel?

Simply put, Zwift is good for anyone, but it is especially good for the constant traveler. And, the main reason for this is because it is so versatile. You can literally take it with you anywhere. Connect anywhere, monitor your results anywhere, get inspired anywhere, and best of all, you can use it anywhere. You can even use it indoors on a treadmill if you choose to do so. In fact, Zwift will make indoor training all that much funner and exciting. The foot pod sends all the data from an accelerometer to the app.

As mentioned above, Zwift was designed by some of the most knowledgeable running coaches in the world. They got together and came up with a fitness plan and routines to help beginners from long time runners to improve on what they already know. With Zwift, there will be no more excuses. You can literally carry the entire setup in one small travel bag, purse, or briefcase.

In addition to this, Zwift allows you to lose yourself. It doesn’t matter how far away you are from your family or what kind of day you’ve had, Zwift will virtually transfer you to environments of your choosing. 

What Do I Need To Get Started With Zwift?

So, right now you are probably pretty excited and raring to go. This is a good thing, as you should be. However, you won’t be able to just run out there and get started. There are some things that you are going to need to do and get in check beforehand.

Luckily, there isn’t too much that you need to get started. And, when you have everything in hand, it won’t be hard or take you long at all to get set up. As you have probably already guessed, you are going to need the app first and foremost.

After this, you are going to need foot pods. Once you have the app and the foot pods, it will be as simple as syncing the two devices together via Bluetooth.

You should also be aware of the fact that Zwift also has a companion app for smartphones. This companion app acts as a separate display for workouts, a Bluetooth connection bridge, and an event interface.

All of this might sound a bit complicated, but the official website does an incredible good job of laying everything out for you. In addition to this, this companion app is something that you need to get started. It is just there as extra incentive if you want to take advantage of it.

Choosing Your Zwift Treadmill Foot Pods

When it comes right down to it, the value of running on Zwift really comes from how much you achieve. And, you simply aren’t going to know how much you achieved if you can’t accurately monitor your running. Did you stretch the goal for today? Maybe you came in a little under distance? These are things that you are going to need to know if you want to track, meet, and exceed your fitness goal. You simply cannot do that without the right foot pod. So, what is the right foot pod?

First and foremost, you are going to need to buy one of the newer treadmill foot pod models. I would recommend that you get a foot pod made in 2020 or newer but any pod that was designed and developed in the last 2 years will do, it will just not be as accurate as the newest ones. Secondly, the treadmill foot pod is obviously going to need Bluetooth. If you don’t have Bluetooth then you won’t be able to sync it up with the app. That aside, there are some other key features that you are going to want to consider when shopping for a foot pod.

Weight

Weight is sometimes a good thing when running, but you do not want something that is going to deter your progress. You pretty much want something that you won’t even notice or feel. That being said, most of these devices are incredibly lightweight and can easily be pinned to your shoes for maximum benefit. 

Functionality

Choosing the right foot pod that is going to fully serve your needs might take time. It might even take more than one purchase and return, so make sure this is something that you are looking for in a manufacturer when choosing a device. You want your foot pod to become a tool that you can trust and rely on. It will be able to track and capture your real-time cadence.

Waterproof

The thing about running outdoors is you never know what you are going to run into. You might get caught in the rain. This is why you want a device that is rugged and waterproof. A device that you know will be able to withstand punishment. In addition to this, you are going to be sweating, so you simply want something you don’t have to worry about.

Conclusion

Staying in shape is important for you, your health, and your family. Just because you are constantly on the road it doesn’t mean that you can get or stay in shape. With the Zwift, there will be no more excuses. You can see that it doesn’t take much to get started, and once you get started it will be easier than ever to stay motivated.

Why Calling a Slip and Fall Injury Attorney is NOT a Cash Grab

A slip and fall can also be dangerous as you could damage bones and it could even lead to brain damage. However serious your bills are, you can call upon a slip and fall injury attorney to put in a claim for you to make sure you get the correct compensation to cover you for all of your losses… CONTINUE READING >> 

Have you or one of your loved ones been injured at your workplace by a slip and fall? It might sound like a simple injury, but they are surprisingly painful. A slip and fall can also be dangerous as you could damage bones and it could even lead to brain damage.

But don’t panic. However serious your bills are, you can call upon a slip and fall injury attorney to put in a claim for you to make sure you get the correct compensation to cover you for all of your losses.

Pay Your Medical Bills

The biggest thing you need to take care of in slip and fall cases is the cost of your medical bills.

The idea of America as an overly litigious society is a myth. Because healthcare is not free in the US like places with universal health such as the UK, you need to fight your case to get what you are owed.

Your costs might be covered by your insurance, but this is not always the case. It will depend on your policy.

Some insurance coverage also requires you to pay for medical care upfront, and that might force you into debt or making other sacrifices.

A slip and fall lawsuit is a way for you to grab some of this money back to ensure you are properly covered.

Get the Compensation You Need for Pain and Suffering

Slip and fall cases are not just about medical bills. They are also about the pain and suffering you were caused.

Getting yourself an attorney who specializes in slip and falls cases can be a good move and can ensure that you get the compensation you deserve to make life that much easier for you.

Pays for Sick Leave From Work

Sure, most employers have paid sick leave, but every policy and every company is different. It might not be enough to cover your day-to-day expenses.

If your injury is serious and it takes a long time to recover, then your sick coverage might expire. A lawsuit can help you get your money back.

Takes Care of Other Costs Like Childcare

A slip and fall accident can also leave you out of pocket for other expenses that are not covered by your insurance.

This could include the cost of childcare while you are incapacitated, which can be a big worry if you don’t have any relatives to look after your children.

You might think it’s not worth claiming and going to court but the future of law is bright. Initiatives like online courts might soon make it easier to claim.

Getting a Slip and Fall Injury Attorney Can Be a Great Idea

A slip and fall injury attorney can be a great idea if you have been involved in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault.

They can help you claim back some money to cover some of the expenses you might have incurred while being ill. These include the costs of childcare, sick leave, and any medical bills you might have needed to cover.

Don’t Go it Alone: Why You Need a Lawyer to Help Navigate Health Insurance Law

You petition your insurance company for proper coverage, however, your carrier denies your claim. What can you do?
CONTINUE READING >> 

You’re suffering from a long-term illness. You petition your insurance company for proper coverage. However, your carrier denies your claim. You receive a letter about your claim denial.

The letter contains some legal jargon that you don’t understand. You still don’t understand why reps denied your claim.

You grow frustrated because you need coverage to cover your medical expenses. Without your policy, you cannot afford your treatments and prescriptions.

What can you do?

In this case, you can hire an attorney who specializes in health insurance law. An attorney can help you with insurance appeals. Further, a legal professional can help you get the coverage that you’re entitled to under your policy.

A lawyer can also help you deal with an extensive health insurance bureaucracy that often confuses customers. This article will explain how a health insurance lawyer can help you get your claim approved. Read on if you wish to know more.

Insurance Policy Denial Rates

When consumers find an insurer, they assume that the carrier will cover a claim by default. However, an insurance company can deny your claim, even if you’re entitled to coverage.

In the past decade, the percentage of denied claims hovered around two percent. The lower percentage of refuted claims stems from the Affordable Care Act and its protective measures for policyholders. Before the ACA, denied claims were much higher. Aetna, for example, denied claims at around six percent.

Additionally, insurance giants can deny a claim even if you’re owed coverage under your policy. For instance, medical professionals within the insurance industry may not review a patient’s medical history when approving or denying claims. This means that a patient who suffers from a serious illness could go without coverage.

Moreover, experts fear that the new changes to the ACA could lead to an increase in denied claims. Additionally, Republican efforts to make the sale of insurance available across state lines could exacerbate the number of rebuffed claims. The lack of regulation could also result in the denial of consumer appeals.

In these uncertain times, having a legal expert by your side can increase your chances of winning a discarded claim. Lawyers know the terminology and the tricks that insurance companies use to withhold payouts.

Insurance companies also use a variety of means possible to reject or deny claims.

How Do Insurance Companies Typically Deny Claims?

Insurance companies can deny claims for a variety of legal reasons, such as clerical errors. First, consumers must know the differences between a denied and a rejected claim. A carrier can reject a claim if a clerk fails to provide adequate information on the invoice. Also, policyholders could face denial if the insurance company never received the paperwork. Normally, you’ll benefit from a reinstatement if administrators correct the mistakes.

On the other hand, a denied claim means that a patient will not receive medical coverage. Let’s say insurance reviews the policy and discovered that the patient saw a doctor out of network. The patient stands the risk of receiving a denial because they failed to see a doctor within an insurer’s network.

Other reasons that insurance companies may deny a claim include:

• Non-authorized charges (i.e. MRIs or CT scans)
• Referral requirements
• Drug or therapy exclusions

Additionally, insurance companies could stop your claim due to a pre-existing condition. Under the ACA, a health insurance provider cannot deny claims due to pre-existing conditions.

However, the pre-existing provision could face repeal under the Trump Administration, which could leave many policyholders vulnerable. According to Justin Kimball from Preszlerlaw-ns.com, private insurance companies are even more likely to deny your disability claim than the government.

However, a health insurance attorney can help you in the event of denied claims, regardless of the reason. They may be able to streamline situations that involve bureaucratic setbacks and fast-track your claim to approval.

A lawyer will also keep you abridged of any changes to the healthcare laws and will enlighten you on your rights as a consumer. Your consumer rights also include filing an appeal, which could reinstate your claim.

What Does Appealing Mean?

A customer can file an appeal to reverse a decision on a denied claim. Under the ACA, consumers have six months to file an appeal. To submit your appeal, you must first draft an insurance appeal letter.

When creating an insurance letter, include the following forms of information:

• Your policy information
• A detailed account of your medical situatio
• The reason you need medical coverage
• A detailed account of the denied claim
• Your doctor’s contact information and recommendations

Writing an appeal letter can be a lengthy process, which is why an attorney is so crucial during this process. A lawyer who specializes in insurance appeals can help you create a compelling appeal letter. A legal professional can also help you gather sufficient evidence that will bolster your appeal case.

The Negotiation Process

Health insurance companies have a team of experts that include lawyers and medical professionals. They have the necessary resources and knowledge to deny claims legally or pay out the bare minimum. The bottom line of a health insurance company is to pay out as little as possible to save money. They make even more money when denying claims outright.

That’s why you need an attorney who also has the necessary savvy and resources to fare through the negotiation phase. Before negotiations, an attorney can help you understand all that your health insurance policy entails.

• Example: If you have a standard policy, your carrier must provide you coverage as prescribed by law.

A lawyer can better educate you on health insurance laws and policy details. For example, the details of your policy may exclude certain diseases. Also, policyholders must abide by coverage limits in many cases.

Health Insurance Law and Consumer Rights

Many policyholders don’t realize that they have rights under the law. An insurance denial can happen when you least expect it. However, a health insurance attorney can help you navigate the bureaucratic and legal processes. Find an attorney who specializes in health insurance law. More importantly, choose a good attorney who has a solid track record of winning cases.

7 Tips for Finding the Best Online Pharmacies

Ordering prescriptions online can be great for those who have difficulties getting to the pharmacy. But how do you find the best online pharmacies? Find out now…
CONTINUE READING >> 

Did you know that purchasing prescription drugs from an online pharmacist could get you in trouble with the law? There are many rules and regulations surrounding online pharmacies. You need to understand what you are getting into before you make a purchase.

Ninety-five percent of websites offering prescription drugs do not meet the government standards for an online pharmacy. To find the best online pharmacies you need to pay attention to the website, its URL, its accreditation, and more.

To help you navigate the murky world of online pharmaceuticals, we’ve put together 7 must-know tips.

Read through these tips carefully. You’ll have all the tools you need to make a good choice when it comes to finding the best online pharmacies for your needs.

1. Digital Pharmacy Accreditation

The most important first step in working out if an inline pharmacy is right for you is to make sure it is on the list of Accredited Digital Pharmacies.

Since 1999, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy and the Federal Drug Administration have teamed up to monitor online pharmacies. These organizations provide accreditation so that customers can have some peace of mind.

The Digital Pharmacy Accreditation (DPA) program has taken over from the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practices Sites (VIPPS) program.

The best online pharmacies get official accreditation and become an Accredited Digital Pharmacy.

For more than 20 years, these programs have ensured that online pharmacies have high-quality services for filling prescriptions. It also requires these companies to protect personal information. The program monitors the way online pharmacies communicate with customers.

If you find an online pharmacy that is not on the Digital Pharmacy Accreditation list don’t use it.

2. Use .Pharmacy

The main reason for the NABP and FDA shifting from VIPPS to DPA is internet fraud. They determined that some online pharmacies were faking their VIPPS accreditation.

As a result, they started requiring accredited online pharmacies to apply for and use .pharmacy URL endings. The .pharmacy URL is like a .com or .net ending but only accredited pharmacies can use it.

If the online pharmacy you are looking at doesn’t have .pharmacy in its web address it is not accredited and you shouldn’t use it. Make sure you look at the NABP’s list of accredited digital pharmacies when making your choice.

3. Require Prescriptions

You can buy medical drugs online without a prescription. However, it is illegal to do so in the United States. The best online pharmacies require a prescription.

If you don’t have a prescription written by a doctor you should not try to buy medication online. It’s as simple as that.

If an online pharmacy offers to provide a doctor’s prescription for you, it is likely offering you an unsafe option. You should not be able to call in your own prescription. Online pharmacies that allow you to do this could be selling you counterfeit medicine.

Make sure the online pharmacy you choose requires a doctor’s prescription.

4. Pharmacist Available

Another way to pick the best online pharmacies is to make sure it provides a pharmacist for consultation.

Just as you would expect a brick-and-mortar pharmacy to have a pharmacist on staff to answer questions, so you should with an online version. They will ask you questions to make sure the drugs you are ordering are compatible with other medicines you are taking. They will also make sure you understand how to take them according to the directions.

5. Check With Your Health Insurance Provider

Before you purchase drugs from an online pharmacy check with your health insurance provider that the pharmacy is ok with them. You might be saving money by using an online pharmacy but if it isn’t on the list of providers with your health insurance you’ll be paying for the whole prescription.

Health insurance companies vet all pharmacies that they work with. The best online pharmacies will be on that list.

6. Physical Address

Check that the online pharmacy you are considering has an actual physical address in the US or Canada. A PO Box address might be a warning sign that the online pharmacy is not legitimate. Alternatively, a PO Box address might mean the pharmacy is not located in the US at all.

If you find a pharmacy without a physical location in the US you shouldn’t use it. You may not be buying your drugs legally. That pharmacy may be selling counterfeit or illegal drugs.

The rules and regulations are different in Canada so you should find out more information before you use a pharmacist based there.

7. Warning Signs

There are a number of warning signs that you should pay attention to when considering using an online pharmacy.

Online pharmacies that send you email offers with great deals on the drugs you need are possibly unaccredited or illegal. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

If the website provides international shipping, it could be a sign that they aren’t located in the US. A website without a US location is not a legitimate or accredited online pharmacy.

If there is no location listed on the website at all, it is a good indication that the online pharmacy is based outside of the US.

If the online pharmacy is offering drugs that aren’t available in the US don’t use that website. Drugs that are not FDA approved cannot be prescribed by a doctor.

Use These Tips to Choose from the Best Online Pharmacies

Finding the best online pharmacies is much easier if you pay attention to these 7 key points. Be careful of scams and illegal entities pretending to be official pharmacies.

If you follow these guidelines, though, you’ll be able to use online pharmacies to get your prescriptions filled.

Top Reasons to Visit Cambridge

Cambridge isn’t exactly a remote hamlet, but it isn’t a big city, either. As such, you’ll get a great balance between plenty of things to see and do, and the welcoming and friendly atmosphere… CONTINUE READING >> 

The UK has a fantastic range of towns and cities to tempt tourists to the country, and to tempt Brits looking to explore. It has an obvious history as a centre of education, and much of its appeal stems from the architecture around the university, much of which has stood for hundreds of years. Moreover, great transport links make visiting Cambridge convenient as well as satisfying.

So why might you consider a trip to this part of the country? We’ll look here at the appeal.

Architecture

Cambridge has a long and varied history, and there’s no better demonstration of this than the buildings which fill it. There are Tudor manses and there are contemporary buildings, too. Some of these, like the Bridge of Sighs and the Fitzwilliam Museum, are incredibly famous, and you’ll want to make a point of visiting each of them. But you should also make time for a little bit of a wander around the cobbled streets, as you’ll also find lesser-known buildings that are worth a passing glance.

Culture

Given the city’s appeal as a centre for learning, you may not be surprised to learn that there are plenty of museums to explore. Some of them, like the Fitzwilliam Museum, provide a touch of sophistication; others, like the Kettle’s Yard museum, are a little bit quirkier. If you’re looking to be entertained, then you might consider a visit to the university’s playhouse, the ADC theatre, where some of the biggest names in British television first got off the ground.

The River

The River Cam is a tributary of the Great Ouse, and runs for about forty miles from the city to the sea. It’s most famous for presenting an opportunity for recreation: in summer, you’ll find it thick with punts, small rowing boats, and other, larger vessels. The river is also a great place from which to take in all of the city’s landmarks. You’ll be able to go around the backs of many of the colleges, and travel beneath many of the city’s famous bridges.

Friendliness

Cambridge isn’t exactly a remote hamlet, but it isn’t a big city, either. As such, you’ll get a great balance between plenty of things to see and do, and the welcoming and friendly atmosphere you get from a more tight-knit community. It’s this feature that makes the city worth returning to, time and again!

Top Six Destinations to Visit in 2020

So, the winter holiday season is almost over, and everything is slowly but surely going back to usual. Most of people are back to the lovely evening that includes playing video games with top online casino bonuses. However, if you are a travelling lover, you will probably start to plan your spring and summer trips/vacation. And if you have troubles picking your next travel destination, here are some great recommendations that include both beautiful destinations and exciting events, such as, for instance, the 2020 Summer Olympics, which will be hosted by Japan.

Copenhagen, Denmark

This stunning city represents a destination of choice for millions of travellers each year. Tourists are drawn by colourful houses and shops, modern minimalistic architecture, as well as its eco-friendly cycling culture.

While in Copenhagen, be sure to visit the re-opened beautiful Kongens Nytorv square, then also re-opened Museum of Copenhagen, where you can enjoy astonishing, immersive exhibitions, as well as the world’s second-oldest Tivoli amusement park, which remained one of the most popular destinations in Copenhagen. And with a new circular â M3 Cityringenâ metro railway, moving through the city has never been easier!

Dead Sea & Jordan

Located between the states of Jordan and Israel, the Dead Sea represents the lowest located point on the planet, with an average altitude of minus 430 meters. Although the Dead Sea is a worldwide-known travel destination, the actual climate change going on is slowly threatening to lower the water levels even more, so the year 2020 may be one of the last years to visit the Dead Sea in its current, unchanged condition.

If you decide to visit this destination, be sure to pop in the beautiful city of Petra, Jordan, which is around 130km away or to visit the historical monuments of Jerusalem, about 35km from the Dead Sea.

Kyoto, Japan

This amazing destination represents just a perfect mixture of past and present, giving you the chance to enjoy soothing rock gardens known as “karesansui”, or ancient Shinto sanctuaries, as well as to visit modern and minimalistic hotels, restaurants and shopping malls and experience Japan’s cutting edge railways.

The city hosted the Rugby World Cup in December 2019: it was the first time such event was held in Asia. This event served as a kind of a preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympics, which will be held across Japan, with Kyoto as one of the host cities.

You will have the chance to explore the central district known as Shimogyo-Ku, which is full of so-called “izakaya” pubs, where you can try all sorts of local beverage. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy the stunning Shosei-en garden, which originates from the feudal era.

Jamaica

If you are a lover of fine sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters, then Jamaica is the destination for you! One of the reasons to visit Jamaica in 2020 is the celebration of Bob Marley’s birthday, who would have turned 75 years in February. And since Marley represents one of the biggest cultural heritage of Jamaica, you can expect nothing but amusing events all over the country, where you can enjoy relaxing reggae music, try local specialities and get to know all kinds of local amenities.

While in Jamaica, be sure to visit the capital of Kingston, which is the city in which Bob Marley spent most of his life. While in Kingston, be sure to visit the singer’s former home, which is now turned into a worldwide famous Bob Marley museum. If you prefer sea beach resorts, find out more information.

Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Visiting Mostar in 2020 has one good reason behind it – the city is marking 25 years since the Dayton Peace Accords were signed, opening a new, more peaceful era in the Balkans. And if you consider the fact that Mostar was partially destroyed during the Bosnian War (1991-1995) and later renovated, the city is really worth visiting!

Mostar is divided into two parts – the old city and the new one. The older part of Mostar was established during the Ottoman Empire, back in the 15th century. There, you will get the chance to see something pretty unique – a blend of modern and medieval buildings, as well as those riddled with bullets during the war, which were left as a reminder of these terrible times.

When in Mostar, be sure to visit the famous Old Bridge (Stari Most), built in the 16th century and then renovated in 2004, after it had been demolished during the Bosnian War. The bridge is unique, while it connects two sides of the city – Christian and Islamic.

Australia

Although the majority of people considers the continent as “the place I would like to visit someday,” there is a strong reason why you should do it in 2020. As you are probably aware of, there are massive bushfires currently going on in Australia, which are, unfortunately, wiping out thousands of square kilometres of forests, as well as the majority of Australia’s wildlife. So, when this alarming situation settles down, be sure to visit this beautiful chunk of land, where you can enjoy untouched nature and numerous autochthonous species.
