GETTING SPRING CLEAN
GETTING SPRING CLEAN
And keeping things fresh
The changing or seasons can be a great time to de-clutter the house and get everything in order for a spring and summer full of camping, outdoor sports and other family activities. The return of spring for many also means spring cleaning – and while it can seem daunting to get spring clean successful:
PLAN AHEAD
Start by walking around your house and taking a look at what needs to be cleaned. Check out often overlooked surfaces like window sills and baseboards. Knowing what needs to be done makes it easier to start.
SURVEY YOUR CLOSET:
Before you head to the mall for a new spring wardrobe, take a survey of your closet and the clothes you have in storage. Take the time to try things on, keeping what can still be worn and donating what you don’t want anymore. Taking inventory of your closet will make it easy to choose what items will need to be purchased and will avoid unnecessary purchases, saving you money. Having a neat and organized closet will also allow you to see what clothes you have, so that your favourite pieces don’t get lost.
THINK BIG PICTURE
Sping cleaning is a great time to tackle large surfaces and appliances in your house like the windows or the back of the fridge. To keep surfaces clean choose naturally derived products low in chemicals. Made from plant based, biodegradable cleaning ingredients Green Works products are at least 95 percent naturally derived and are great choice for gentle yet effective cleaning.
HAVE FUN:
Spring cleaning is a great time to get the whole family involved in cleaning the house and getting ready for the new season. Involving the kids in task like sorting their clothes or cleaning out under the bed is a great way to have them be a part of the cleaning process.
CONNECT WITH OTHERS:
Finding other people living green, either in your community or online, is a great way to exchange information and ask questions. Check out already existing communities like the Green Works Facebook page at www.facebook.com/greenworkscanada for great tips and advice.

The History of Easter
Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, is Christianity's most important holiday. It has been called a moveable feast because it doesn't fall on a set date every year, as most holidays do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. Therefore, Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year. Orthodox Christians use the Julian calendar to calculate when Easter will occur and typically celebrate the holiday a week or two after the Western churches, which follow the Gregorian calendar.
The exact origins of this religious feast day's name are unknown. Some sources claim the word Easter is derived from Eostre, a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility. Other accounts trace Easter to the Latin term hebdomada alba, or white week, an ancient reference to Easter week and the white clothing donned by people who were baptized during that time. Through a translation error, the term later appeared as esostarum in Old High German, which eventually became Easter in English. In Spanish, Easter is known as Pascua; in French, Paques. These words are derived from the Greek and Latin Pascha or Pasch, for Passover. Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection occurred after he went to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover (or Pesach in Hebrew), the Jewish festival commemorating the ancient Israelites' exodus from slavery in Egypt. Pascha eventually came to mean Easter.
Easter is really an entire season of the Christian church year, as opposed to a single-day observance. Lent, the 40-day period leading up to Easter Sunday, is a time of reflection and penance and represents the 40 days that Jesus spent alone in the wilderness before starting his ministry, a time in which Christians believe he survived various temptations by the devil. The day before Lent, known as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, is a last hurrah of food and fun before the fasting begins. The week preceding Easter is called Holy Week and includes Maundy Thursday, which commemorates Jesus' last supper with his disciples; Good Friday, which honors the day of his crucifixion; and Holy Saturday, which focuses on the transition between the crucifixion and resurrection. The 50-day period following Easter Sunday is called Eastertide and includes a celebration of Jesus' ascension into heaven.
In addition to Easter's religious significance, it also has a commercial side, as evidenced by the mounds of jelly beans and marshmallow chicks that appear in stores each spring. As with Christmas, over the centuries various folk customs and pagan traditions, including Easter eggs, bunnies, baskets and candy, have become a standard part of this holy holiday.

Efortless Office Cleaning Ideas
Efortless Office Cleaning Ideas
A clean and ordered work environment is basic to encourage output. How would your clients react if they walked into your business to find piles of files and papers in all quarters, soiled carpets and disorganised desks?
If I entered into such an environment, I would turn back and leave straight away and I bet you would too. With that mindset I'll share with you some effortless to administer office cleaning tips to assist keep your business twinkling clean at all time, be it a town office or a home office.
Generally city business units are cleaned by specialist authentic cleaning companies but there are certain things that can be done to help improve the cleanliness of these work places.
This initial tip might sound obsolete but you would be alarmed how many office blocks still haven't applied it to their work environment. Reduce paper clutter by bringing in a digital filing system.
Its likely your corporation already has a network, and thats a positive opening point. Next comes a complete reconstruct of the networks file structure. This will take some time and choosy consideration. A general rule-of-thumb is that an effective digital file system - when segmented - reflects exactly how the business is organised and leaves room for future modification and likely change.
Create a cleaning and organisation inspection group, the idea here is to designate two or three employees, depending on the amount of your workforce, to go around the office inspecting tables and drawers.
This examination team should report directly to the office controller or to you. They should give out warnings for those who don't keep their workstation organised and then issue penalties. That way you will provoke your team to keep their desks and drawers organised at all times.
For home office workers you will have to be your own inspectors, even though you might not get any person visiting your study. Keep in mind what was said in the beginning of this item - A clean and organised workplace boosts productivity.
Incite recycling by adding recycling bins in your office's canteen and around the office. Choose a day of the week to do a "paper recycling day". You can use the cleaning and organization inspection team to go around the office asking for people to get rid of aged paper work that cannot be filed.
Premium help
As my last piece of advice, I would advise you seek professional help to enhance even further the cleanliness and hygiene of your office. Take on an office cleaning company and get them to do the dirty work for you.

Cooking with Type ii Diabetes: Exposing the Common Myths
Maintaining a healthy diet is vital to our general health and wellbeing. Eating the right foods help us combat illness, reduce stress, and provide assistance to prevent serious disease. However, for those with type 2 diabetes, making healthy food choices can be both frustrating and confusing. Because diabetes type II is a serious disease, debunking the next myths may actually help to save the lives of numerous.
Myth 1: Diabetes is due to consuming too much sugar.
Though the cause is not totally understood, diabetes is considered to be the result of genetics and lifestyle factors. With diabetes, the body is unable to properly convert food into glucose, which uses insulin to provide the cells with energy. Being overweight can make type II diabetes more likely to occur.
Myth 2: Diabetics can't eat sweets.
Consuming a piece of cake will not cause a medical emergency. Although sugars might be empty calories and cause weight gain if eaten in considerable amounts, when eaten in moderation, sweets can be a part of a healthy diet, especially when joined with exercise.
Myth 3: Diabetics must consume special diabetic foods.
A balanced and healthy diet for those with type II diabetes is quite similar to a healthy diet for anyone - limit the fats, use salt and sugar moderately, and consume wholegrain foods. Lean protein, vegetable, and fruit also help complete a balanced diet. Many foods marketed as "diabetic" foods still usually raise glucose levels in the blood.
Myth 4: Carbohydrates are dangerous for diabetics.
Starches are a significant part of a balanced diet. Carbs may have a significant effect on blood glucose levels, so they should be consumed in moderation. Carbs contain essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber, so eradicating them from the diet is not a healthy idea.
Myth 5: Fruit might be consumed freely because it's healthy and natural.
Although fruit is chocked filled with nutrients, consuming too much of it, especially simultaneously can prove problematic. Also, dried fruits like dates may be high in fat and full of calories. Fruits like these should only be eaten sparingly.
Now that the myths concerning the diet for those with type II diabetes have been exposed, diabetics and non-diabetics alike can make wise decisions regarding food. Combined with proper medical care and exercise, food can continue to certainly be a necessary tool to maintain our bodies healthy.

Cleaning Tips Using Vinegar
To shine chrome sink fixtures that have a lime buildup, use a paste made of 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar.
Make your own scouring cleanser by combining 1/4 cup baking soda with 1 tablespoon liquid detergent. Add just enough white distilled vinegar to give it a thick but creamy texture.
Clean counter tops and make them smell sweet again with a cloth soaked in undiluted white distilled vinegar.
Clean and deodorize a drain by pouring in 1 cup baking soda, then one cup hot white distilled vinegar. Let this sit for 5 minutes or so, then run hot water down the drain.
Deodorize the garbage disposal by pouring in 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup hot white distilled vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes then run hot water down the disposal.

Equity and Human Rights
Find more information
Image: World War II opened opportunities for work in defence industries for women, including Black women like these munitions workers. Once the war was over, however, jobs largely returned to white male veterans (courtesy National Film Board of Canada and Library and Archives Canada/no. e000761869).
Black immigrants from around the world have been attracted to Canada by the promise of freedom-to live, work, worship, study, maintain cultural traditions, and be involved in the daily activities of one's community. However, there were barriers to their participation that they did not create. The colour of their skin immediately indicated that they were enslaved people, or the descendants of enslaved people, and the negative attitudes of ordinary people as well as those in high office have affected how well Black people have been able to achieve the dream of equality and freedom, or equity.
While Canada did not have legal segregation, there were always "understandings" about which neighbourhoods Black people could live in, or where they could worship. Most professional organizations, sports, schools, unions, and trade associations would not admit Black people; stores would not hire them; restaurants, theatres, and skating rinks did not permit African-Canadians; and hotels would not rent rooms to African-Canadians no matter how famous they were. The 1850 law that created separate Catholic schools also facilitated the creation of separate Black schools; the last one closed in the 1960s. Are you free if your ambitions are unattainable because of restrictions placed on you by power holders (eg. landlords, teachers, employers, realtors, government officials) due only to the colour of your skin?
