But further research on electromagnetism and any practical use of electricity would require a source of continuous current, which was not available until 1800, when Alessandro Volta invented the first electric pile, the forerunner of the modern battery. Alessandro Volta was born in Como, Italy in 1745, to a wealthy noble family. He attended the Como Jesuit school and a local seminary. His teachers tried to persuade him to enter the priesthood, while his family wanted him to study law. But Volta, even at age 14, knew his real interest was physics.
Best Answer: The average length of maternity leave is six weeks. If you have a c-section I think they will give you two extra weeks.
The government of Canada splits the EI benefits between maternity leave (17 weeks maximum) and parental leave to a maximum of 35 weeks. So after having a baby, moms can take at least 17 weeks leave of their jobs. At that point, she and the other parent have the option of taking off the remaining time â up to a total of 35 weeks. A mother could take 20 weeks and a father the remaining 15, for example. Quebec has its own parental leave benefits, which include an extra five weeks off specifically for fathers.
