Cork Floors, Yes or No?
I have always believed that floors add character and warmth to a home. In today's world of floors, there are varied options to choose from. A unique and eco-friendly flooring option, cork has an exceptionally long lifespan. It reduces the risk of rot and mold and actually helps the quality of air indoors. It works well to neutralize temperature and absorb sound. Because cork flooring does not trap allergens, pet dander, or dust, it is also great for allergy sufferers. After reading several reviews and having used it at home for several years, I highly recommend this option for anyone interested in eco-friendly flooring. I can vouch for it!
However, there are some pitfalls that keep buyers from investing in cork flooring. For one, it is expensive! Cork comes from an evergreen tree called the cork oak. These trees are grown in the region around the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore, the cost of shipping bumps up the sticker price considerably. Secondly, unlike other floors that last almost a lifetime, cork floors last only five to ten years and have to be replaced more frequently. Dogs and high heels are a complete no-no around cork-floored areas. Paws and heels dig through the pliable surface, creating holes. In spite of its disadvantages, a large number of people today are turning towards this earth-friendly product.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
