Summer is delightful! But what if the temperature keeps climbing and you don’t have air conditioning in the office? These simple tips will make sure your work does not suffer from the heat. You’ll keep your cool and stay fresh the whole day through. Plan your day If possible, reschedule your work hours to the freshness of the morning: start before the sun reaches full power and head back home when the heat undermines your efficiency. Tackle the most strenuous tasks in the morning, before the heat really gets to you. Plan routine chores in the afternoon when your brain has heated up and your head is not as clear. Water: wash the heat away Make sure you always have a bottle of water at hand. Drink at least two litres of water through the day. And if you’re worried about the humidity in the air? Mint tea helps more than water. It sounds strange, but a warm drink actually helps your body to cool down more quickly. Don’t drink anything that dehydrates you: beverages containing co

Cool Efficiently As much as half of the energy used in your facility goes to cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort. Take these steps to increase the efficiency of your cooling system.  Change your air filter regularly Check your filter every month, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer). If the filter looks dirty after a month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every 3 months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool — wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system — leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure. Tune up your HVAC equipment yearly Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort.  Inst

Industry Description - Cleaning Industry  The cleaning industry can be roughly divided into residential cleaning, commercial janitorial services, specialty cleaning and laundry/dry cleaning services. In 2015 there were approximately 875,000 businesses employing about 3.5 million people. The industry as a whole is very susceptible to economic downturns and suffered through several rough years during the Great Recession ; revenue fell 5.3% in 2008 and another 6.1% in 2009. General cleaning services, and particularly residential services, are deemed an expendable luxury when times are tough. However the years of economic strength since then have seen the industry bounce back, and in 2015 it generated $51 billion in revenue. This recent upward momentum can be attributed to both unemployment and office vacancy rates declining as well as a pickup in nonresidential construction activity. In other words – people have more money to spend and feel more secure spending it, and there

Zika virus spreads to people primarily through the bite of an infected  Aedes  species mosquito ( Ae. aegypti  and  Ae. albopictus ). People can also get Zika through sex with an infected man, and the virus can also be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito. People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika. For this reason, many people might not realize they have been infected. However, Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause a serious birth defect called  microcephaly , as well as other severe fetal brain defects. Once a person has been infected, he or she is likely to be protected from future infections. Zika virus was first discovered in 1947 and is named after the Zika Forest in Uganda. In 1952, the first human
