Top 10 Cities To Live In: Montreal - Gateway to Canada | Canada Immigration Consultancy!
AskMen.Com came up with the list by asking their readers, consulting with the experts and tracking down travel agents. Main considerations in the research are - standard of living, job sector, arts and culture, weather, state of affairs, city's night life and all of the other things that encompass daily life.
Montreal is No. 1 in the list.
Yes, it is very cold in the winter, but some actually like winter sports. Many do not like the weather, so why don't they ever leave Montreal? Let's see: it's the most cosmopolitan and multicultural city, which explains why it has the most beautiful women, diverse restaurants and an amazing nightlife (ask any Formula One driver).
The economy is growing rapidly, the arts and culture are extremely diverse and rich, and it offers you all four seasons to the fullest. Although the language questions become mundane, we hear that they provide for good entertainment. To top it all off, Canada is systematically voted the Top Country by the United Nations.

Convoy Lawyer details how trucks were moving BEFORE PM Trudeau invoked Emergency Measures Act
Duane Rolheiser
CBC news is reporting that court documents indicate "On the night before Justin Trudeau took the historic step of invoking the Emergencies Act during last February's Freedom Convoy occupation of Ottawa, the prime minister's national security and intelligence adviser told cabinet there was "potential for a breakthrough," "
This has come to light thanks to court challenges from civil liberties groups who claim the federal government went too far by invoking the Emergencies Measures Act.
Various media outlets are reporting it was unclear whether the truckers would hold up their end of the deal negotiated with the City of Ottawa. However an interview by commentator Viva Frei with Keith Wilson, lead lawyer for the Freedom Convoy makes it clear, trucks were already moving before the act was invoked.
The link above will take you to the youtube page of Viva Frei for a fascinating full length interview with Keith Wilson who talks about his 19 days in downtown Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy where he lead a team of lawyers representing the leaders of the trucker convoy in their dealings with the police, and the City of Ottawa.
Below is an 18 minute segment of that interview which focusses on the days immediately prior to the invocation of the Emergencies Measures Act. Wilson details how when tensions were building, he tapped former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford who helped to make a critical link to the office of the Mayor of Ottawa. He goes on to share how the early meetings lead to an agreement to move all the trucks out of the downtown core to Wellington (in front of Parliament Hill), another road nearby, or a couple of areas on the outskirts of Ottawa. The truckers would then have been bussed daily to Parliament Hill where they could join the ongoing demonstration.
As you'll see in this video, the trucks were already moving before PM Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergency Measures Act.

Video Review: Rita Ora & 6lack "Only Want You"
March 14, 2019 March 7, 2019 / by Pam Avoledo
In the backseat of a car, Rita Ora says on the phone: "So she smiled? That's so cute!" She apologizes for not being there. Her driver pulls up into the parking lot of a diner. She tells her friend that she just got off work and vents about the article she read about herself on the internet. She shuts the car door and hits her arm against her sides. She paces back and forth then decides to go inside.
Sitting in the diner, she gestures for some coffee. She dumps out of the contents of her purse and finds a compact mirror. She takes off her sunglasses and looks at it. She watches as a couple kiss by the counter as a male server takes orders. A female server (also Ora) puts on order on the wheel. Paparazzi crowd up at the window and take pictures of her. She puts on her sunglasses while the paparazzi enter the diner.
The female server takes Ora's hand and leads her through the kitchen. The female server yells at them to go away and shoos them out of the door, allowing Ora to leave. Behind the counter, she laughs with a customer and nods as one of the cooks yells at her. Her boss touches her butt and she looks around to see if it was him.She sighs as she sees the dollar and change left on the counter. The cook chews her out again and then bumps into her as she heads for a table.
Ora peeks through the lacy red curtains at the crowd. She walks up to the microphone and performs.
The female server dances behind the counter and cleans up Ora's table. She finds a card that reads "Phoenix." The female server leaves her job to attend Ora's show. She cries as Ora finishes the song. Ora sees her and tears fall from her face.
Rita Ora gestures for the female server to approach the stage. Ora sits on the stage and talks to the female server. The female server says it was so nice to meet her and didn't like what happened to her at the diner. Ora says she's grateful for what she did and invites her backstage to hang out.
Ora introduces her to her band and asks if she wants some champagne. The female serves says she would like a glass. Ora asks her how long she's worked at the diner. The female server says about two years too long. She likes the customers but her male co-workers are creeps. Her boss usually feels her up as he walks behind her. Ora clinks her glass with hers and says she feels the same way. She whispers a story to her about one of her ex-boyfriends. Crossing her legs over her knees, she says "it took me five years to recover from his destruction." The female server gasps, saying she had read about it and hopes one of the next ones to go down. Ora says she's going to have a wait a little while. He's going to have stop making people money first.
The female server says she just left and that she may be fired tomorrow. But she stopped caring a long time ago. She says she's thinking of working in a store or something for a change. Ora gets out her phone and asks if she's on social media. The female server says she's on Instagram. Ora asks her for her username to add her. The female server says it and checks her phone. Ora smiles as she looks at the female server's photos of her dogs. She shows the female server some photos of her dog from her phone. Her manager tells her it's time to go. Ora says she'll stop by the diner sometime tomorrow. The female server says it was so awesome to meet her. Ora grins and tells her she'll look for her comments.

Q: Front end post editor which is actively developed I'm trying to find a simple editor for posting content from the front end of a community site.
I will only need to submit one post type (defined in the site configuration) and posts will contain text and images only.
I have seen numerous front end editors, but they are either not supported anymore or cost a fortune.
Can anybody suggest a front end post editor which is still receiving updates in 2017?
The closest I found to what I'm looking for was Raptor, but that is not longer available.
Any help would be appreciated.

Crazy Nights In
It's late, but I'm still pretty hyped up from the awesome night that I just had! Tonight, Amherst Christian Fellowship (ACF) just had its second "Text-a-Toastie" event of the year. The idea, I believe, first came up at university fellowships in the UK (hence the use of the word "toastie" for toasted or grilled sandwich) and has since been brought to different schools at the U.S. — for us, it was a recent alumnus who had studied abroad in the UK.

What They Are Reading
We asked Professor of Political Science Thomas Dumm what he has been reading lately. Here's what he told us:
I can't distinguish between reading for leisure and reading for work any more. These days, everything feels like it has the potential to be a subject for political thinking. I even read the National Enquirer occasionally, trying to solve a mystery: what keeps Britney Spears in the news as much as Hillary Clinton?

By Emily Gold Boutilier After spending 20 years on his book Khrushchev: The Man and His Era, which won a 2004 Pulitzer Prize, William Taubman, the Bertrand Snell Professor of Political Science, had to decide what—if any—major work to tackle next. The Khrushchev project had been "frustrating and maddening," he says, "but, ultimately, very satisfying." So he decided to write another biography—on another Soviet leader.

Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park is a private zoo located in Calga, New South Wales, approximately 1 hour's drive north of Sydney.
At Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park you can visit the friendliest wild Aussie animals, with over 180 species roaming free and happy in the bush.
Nowhere else can you get up close and personal with so many of the friendliest wild animals in Australia.
Get a personal introduction to Australia's iconic species. Meet a red kangaroo, a grey kangaroo, a wallaroo, emu, wallaby, pademelon, wombat, koala, python, dragon, turtle, possum, lizard, flying fox or dingo, and lots lots more.
The animals have as much fun as the people do. Except for a handful that have special needs, they all roam free and safe through a fox-proofed bush sanctuary.
New volunteers can expect to spend 10 to 20 days in orientation, learning the general Walkabout Park duties including visitor, animal and bush care, from food preparation and general cleaning to animal enrichment activities and habitat restoration.
Once orientation training is complete, each volunteer will sit down with one of the managers to agree their role going forward. Although everyone is expected to help everyone else, and most volunteers are expected to be 'generalists', as we grow our volunteer program we expect that there will be some specialised roles available.
You may have a friend or a group of friends who want to work together and car-pool. Perhaps you would like to run the café over lunch time a couple of days per week. Or maybe you want to clean out the koala or the dingo enclosures early each morning. Whatever your interests, there is likely to be a place for you on the team!
This is a great way to make new friends, explore new interests and learn new skills. Do you already have skills and knowledge about the Australian environment, and you want a place to apply them in a practical sense? Are you looking to get valuable experience in nature conservation because of career aspirations? Would you like to contribute to environmental conservation at a practical hands-on level? Do you want to be a part of educating people on our animals and the bush? Or do you just like physical work outside in the clear open air?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions then the Walkabout Park Volunteer Programme is what you need.
Demand for places on the Walkabout Park volunteer team is higher than the places available, so you will need to go through a recruitment process. Successful applicants will be contacted by Walkabout Park. Once accepted, membership may be limited to 6 months or 1 year and, in any event, you will be asked to make some committments to retain your place on the team.
Be genuinely interested in wildlife and conservation.
Join as a member, on completion of training.
As an integral part of the Walkabout Park team, our volunteers must be reliable and failure to attend during rostered times and to work according to team standards will result in the rexonsideration of your position as a volunteer.

Q: Angular 2 Jasmine How to test a function of a component How do I mock the click event of a function in Angular 2? For my Home Component I have:
Home Component
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
  moduleId: module.id,
  templateUrl: 'home.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['home.component.css'],
  selector: 'home',
})
export class HomeComponent {

    constructor(private router: Router) {

    }

    redirectToUpload() {
        this.router.navigate(['/upload']);
    }
    redirectToAbout() {
        this.router.navigate(['/about']);
    }

}

Home Component spec
import { ComponentFixture, TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { HomeComponent } from './home.component';
import { DebugElement } from '@angular/core';
import { By } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { HomeModule } from './home.module';
import { RouterLinkStubDirective, RouterOutletStubComponent } from '../../../test/router-stubs';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

export function main() {

    let de: DebugElement;
    let comp: HomeComponent;
    let fixture: ComponentFixture<HomeComponent>;
    let mockRouter:any;
    class MockRouter {
        //noinspection TypeScriptUnresolvedFunction
        navigate = jasmine.createSpy('navigate');
    }

    describe('Home component', () => {

        // preparing module for testing
        beforeEach(async(() => {
            mockRouter = new MockRouter();
            TestBed.configureTestingModule({
                imports: [HomeModule],

            }).overrideModule(HomeModule, {
                remove: {
                    imports: [ RouterModule ],

                },
                add: {
                    declarations: [ RouterLinkStubDirective, RouterOutletStubComponent ],
                    providers: [ { provide: Router, useValue: mockRouter }],
                }
            }).compileComponents().then(() => {

                fixture = TestBed.createComponent(HomeComponent);
                comp = fixture.componentInstance;

            });
        }));
            tests();
        });

        function tests() {

            beforeEach(() => {
                // trigger initial data binding
                fixture.detectChanges();

                de = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('h1'));

            });

            it('can instantiate Home', () => {
                expect(comp).not.toBeNull();
            });

            it('should have expected <h1> text', () => {
                fixture.detectChanges();
                const h1 = de.nativeElement;
                expect(h1.innerText).toMatch("Home");
            });

        }

}

I want to test redirectToUpload() and redirectToAbout(). How would I mock the click and ensure that the redirect is for the specified link?

A: First, I recommend you writing your test in Typescript, it keeps cohesion between your components and your tests.
Here are the basic steps in your spec file:
Get the element (I recommend using an Id tag if possible)
const element = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css("#your-element"));

Trigger the event. NOTE: there must be a (click) event on the element
element.triggerEventHandler("click", null);

Then detect the changes from the event
fixture.detectChanges();

In your HTML template, you would need to have click events pointed at the functions you wish to test (click)="redirectToUpload()"

A: You need to get the button then click it
de.nativeElement.querySelector('.theButtonClass').click();

Then check that the stub's navigate method is called with the correct argument
expect(mockRouter.navigate).toHaveBeenCalledWith(['/about']);

You may or may not need to use async. If it doesn't work, you might need to use async and wait for the asynchronous click event to stabilize
import { async } from '@angular/core/async';

it('..', async(() => {
  ...click();
  fixture.whenStable().then(() => {
    expect(mockRouter.navigate).toHaveBeenCalledWith(['/about']);
  })
})

A ketogenic diet could be an interesting alternative to treat certain conditions, and may accelerate weight loss. But it is hard to follow and it can be heavy on red meat and other fatty, processed, and salty foods that are notoriously unhealthy. We also do not know much about its long-term effects, probably because it's so hard to stick with that people can't eat this way for a long time. It is also important to remember that "yo-yo diets" that lead to rapid weight loss fluctuation are associated with increased mortality. Instead of engaging in the next popular diet that would last only a few weeks to months (for most people that includes a ketogenic diet), try to embrace change that is sustainable over the long term. A balanced, unprocessed diet, rich in very colorful fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fish, whole grains, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and lots of water seems to have the best evidence for a long, healthier, vibrant life.
Getting control of your diet is the first and most important step towards lasting health and weight loss. Low carb recipes like these will give you a good blueprint to move forward with permanent changes to the way you eat that will improve your life and health. When filled with healthy, whole foods that are low in carbs and prepared deliciously, the keto diet is an amazing way to create a lasting, positive difference in your life!
I'm following the ketogenic diet and I find it very easy, pleasant and varied. I can even say that my diet today is more varied than the previous one. I do not intend to leave this diet and I cannot really see why. My initial focus was not to lose weight, I've always been lean, but to feel better, well disposed. And I got it! I am very pleased, I have read a lot about it (including scientific literature) and I have influenced other people who need to lose weight or improve some aspects of their health. But from the beginning I went on my own way, without the help of a nutritionist because I did not want to suffer the influence of others' ideas.
To lower your heart risks while following a keto diet, be mindful of the types of fats you're eating. "Most nutritionists encourage people to get their fat from heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats," Urbanski says. So even though going keto may sound like a license to load up on bacon and butter, reach for unsaturated fats from foods such as olives, nuts, seeds, and avocados, and olive, canola, and nut oils.
Despite its explosive popularity, there's a lot of confusion about what the ketogenic (keto) diet really is. "Many people think they're following a keto diet when they're really just consuming a low-carbohydrate diet," says Patti Urbanski, MEd, RD, CDE, a certified diabetes educator with St. Luke's Hospital in Duluth, Minnesota. "So one person's 'keto diet' may look very different than another's."
The ketogenic diet is a medical nutrition therapy that involves participants from various disciplines. Team members include a registered paediatric dietitian who coordinates the diet programme; a paediatric neurologist who is experienced in offering the ketogenic diet; and a registered nurse who is familiar with childhood epilepsy. Additional help may come from a medical social worker who works with the family and a pharmacist who can advise on the carbohydrate content of medicines. Lastly, the parents and other caregivers must be educated in many aspects of the diet for it to be safely implemented.[5]
The ketogenic diet may seem like the latest weight-loss craze, but it's actually been around for nearly a century. Developed in the 1920s, this ultra-low-carb, high-fat eating plan was originally used to treat seizures in people with epilepsy. Today, it's getting some serious attention for an entirely different reason. "There's growing research showing that the ketogenic diet is effective for managing blood sugar in people with diabetes," says William Yancy, MD, program director at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina. "However, because we don't have studies [lasting] longer than two or three years, we don't know what can happen with regard to complications over longer periods of time."

First appointment: Your first meeting with our team will be a one-hour new patient appointment. You'll meet our nurse practitioners, social worker and dietitians to discuss the diet's daily requirements, the initiation process, the length of time your child will be on the diet, how the diet may affect your family and any other questions your family may have. If the ketogenic diet team and your family both agree the diet will be manageable for your family, an initiation is scheduled.
If you've decided to move forward in trying the keto diet, you will want to stick to the parameters of the eating plan. Roughly 60 to 80 percent of your calories will come from fats. That means you'll eat meats, fats, and oils, and a very limited amount of nonstarchy vegetables, she says. (This is different from a traditional low-carb diet, as even fewer carbs are allowed on the keto diet.)
Even in endurance sports that don't require sprinting, ketogenic-style diets are disadvantageous according to a ketogenic diet and exercise article published in Sports Medicine[5]: "a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet may impair exercise performance via reducing the capacity to utilize carbohydrates, which forms a key fuel source for skeletal muscle during intense endurance-type exercise." The article concluded, "At present there are no data available to suggest that ingestion of ketone bodies during exercise improves athletes' performance under conditions where evidence-based nutritional strategies are applied appropriately."
A ketogenic diet also has been shown to improve blood sugar control for patients with type 2 diabetes, at least in the short term. There is even more controversy when we consider the effect on cholesterol levels. A few studies show some patients have increase in cholesterol levels in the beginning, only to see cholesterol fall a few months later. However, there is no long-term research analyzing its effects over time on diabetes and high cholesterol.
Cyclical keto diet: The Bulletproof Diet falls into this category. You eat high fat, low carb (less than 50 grams of net carbs a day) five to six days of the week. On day seven, you up your carb intake to roughly 150 grams, during what's called a carb refeed day. Carb cycling this way helps you avoid the negative effects some people experience when they restrict carbs long term, like thyroid issues, fatigue and dry eyes.[9][10] Learn more here about how carb cycling works.
Over 8–10 mmol/l: It's normally impossible to get to this level just by eating a keto diet. It means that something is wrong. The most common cause by far is type 1 diabetes, with severe lack of insulin. Symptoms include feeling very sick with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and confusion. The possible end result, ketoacidosis, may be fatal and requires immediate medical care. Learn more

Off-highway vehicle policy
Poison prevention policy
There have been efforts throughout Canada to mandate concussion education and management protocols, particularly in sport organizations and schools. Some jurisdictions are taking the approach of legislation, while others are moving to implementing policies governing concussion.
Ontario became the first province in Canada to enact legislation around concussion when Rowan's Law (Concussion Safety) was given royal assent in March 2018 after receiving all-party support.
The law establishes mandatory requirements that call for:
Annual review of concussion awareness resources by athletes, parents, coaches and other designated individuals.
A concussion code of conduct, reviewed by athletes, parents, and other designated individuals, to set out rules of behaviour to minimize concussions while participating in sport.
Removal-from-sport and return-to-sport protocols, to ensure that an athlete is immediately removed from sport if they are suspected of having sustained a concussion, and that appropriate processes are in place to guide their safe return to training and competition.
The awareness and code of conduct requirements came into effect July 1, 2019. The protocol requirement came into effect January 1, 2022.
Rowan's Law also establishes the last Wednesday in September as "Rowan's Law Day" in the province of Ontario. The purpose of Rowan's Law Day is to increase concussion education awareness, especially in schools.
In 2017, Bill 37, The Concussion in Youth Sport Act, was introduced in the Manitoba provincial legislature. Bill 37 proposed requirements for removal-from-sport and return-to-sport protocols in sport organizations and schools, as well as improved concussion awareness education, particularly for coaches. The bill did not proceed to second reading.
Ontario Policy/Program Memorandum No. 158
In 2014, Ontario's Ministry of Education issued PPM 158, requiring every school board to establish and maintain a policy on concussion. With the passing of Rowan's Law, PPM 158 was updated in 2019. School board policies are required to include, at minimum, the following components: awareness; prevention; identification; management procedures for a diagnosed concussion; and, ongoing training for staff and volunteers.
Québec Concussion Management Protocol
Québec's Ministry of Education introduced its Concussion Management Protocol in 2017 and an updated second edition in 2019. The protocol is intended intended for use by educational institutions and in the context of recreational and sports activities.
Concussion protocols for sport organizations and schools
Concussion protocols should be:
Comprehensive, including prevention and education, through to safe return to school, work and sport activities.
Based on the most up-to-date, evidence-based best practice and reviewed regularly.
Organizations looking to develop or update concussion protocols can access free protocol templates and supporting resources on our Concussion page.
Parachute has worked with 51 National Sport Organizations to date to create or update their concussion protocols based on the Canadian Guideline on Concussion in Sport.

Kristen Doute Is Right About "Himpathy" — Why Do Men Get Away with So Many Mistakes?
April 4, 2019, 10:32 AM ET
Why is Kristen Doute still getting crap for things she did five years ago, but Jax Taylor isn't?
By Marianne Garvey
Imagine if Tom Schwartz threw a drink on someone... oh he did, remember? Twice. But you probably don't. Because he's Schwartzy and he's adorable and that eclipses everything.
But when Kristen Doute tosses a drink on someone, she's crazy Kristen for the rest of her life.
If she stole sunglasses, she'd be locked up for life. Jax Taylor? Aw, he was just trying to steal a present while on vacation in Hawaii. He's all better now.
James Kennedy may have cheated. Tom Sandoval may have cheated. Jax admittedly cheats. When Kristen cheats? It comes up again and again, even this week on Vanderpump Rules.
What's with the double standard?
According to The Chronicle, it was Cornell philosophy professor Kate Manne who coined the term "himpathy," which she has defined as "the inappropriate and disproportionate sympathy powerful men often enjoy in cases of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, homicide and other misogynistic behavior."
She further described it as "an illness within society that tilts people, regardless of gender, toward the powerful man."
Does Being Extremely Likable Let You Get Away with More at Work and in Life?
Another report talks about the concept, saying, "Accused men, especially those with privilege, are broadly treated with deference by the media and the public, and if they're brought to court are given lenient sentences.
"This is so common as to be a given for men in power. Harvey Weinstein is a case in point. Wielding control over the film careers of many and trading on his artistic reputation, he escaped unscathed for decades. Excuses are abundantly generated: alcohol, flirtation taken too far, or provocation on the part of the victim. Himpathy builds on the idea that sexual predators and rapists are creepy monsters, not 'golden boys.' Correspondingly, the women in these situations are characterized as hysterical, misguided, or liars who misread the intentions of their attackers."
How about we stop calling Kristen "crazy" (whether it's for her sage waving or falling over ottomans or whatever she gets up to)? As Harper's Bazaar says, "For so long, when women were upset or angry or scared, it was brushed off. We were told we were crazy, or hysterical, or difficult, or otherwise didn't have emotions worth taking seriously ... The notion that women who are not compliant are insane is one that's been used to silence women for generations.
For all of history, the man's word has been gospel. A woman's word has been gossip."

The City of Bayswater has a kerbside greenwaste service to benefit residents and the environment. This service consists of a lime green-top greenwaste bin which is collected each fortnight (on the opposite week to the collection of the yellow-top recycling bin).
Residents can place their garden waste (grass, leaves, weeds, small branches, prunings and plants) into this bin. The contents are then processed into mulch and soil conditioner for use in areas such as parks.
The Bio-Insert is a special frame which is fitted inside your existing greenwaste bin.
The design of the Bio-Insert enables air to circulate more freely around the inside of your bin, helping to speed up the natural composting process, so that you can fit more greenwaste in your bin.
What are the benefits of the Bio-Insert?
Increased amounts of greenwaste can be placed into the greenwaste bin.
Improved air circulation in the greenwaste bin will reduce odour due to a more efficient composting process.
Improved quality of greenwaste, which will allow more of the waste to be recovered and used for mulch (providing that the right types of waste are placed into the greenwaste bin).
What can I put in the greenwaste bin?
Branches (less than 30mm diameter) and no longer than 30cm (or 12 inches).
Remember: It is important that you place the right type of greenwaste into your bin to enable the efficient breaking down of your greenwaste, and to allow your greenwaste to be re-used in the future.
Handy tip: You will achieve a more efficient composting process by cutting branches and prunings as small as possible, and mixing them with your softer vegetation, such as leaves, weeds and grass clippings.
What can't I put in the greenwaste bin?
Anything that goes into your recycling or general waste bin. You should continue to place these in your yellow top recycling bin.
No Glass. This is really important. Please put in your yellow top recycling bin.
No building waste or bricks.
No branches with diameters greater than your thumb (30mm) and no longer than 30cm (or 12 inches).
No animal faeces. This should be placed in your normal green top rubbish bin.
Remember: Placing the wrong type of waste in your greenwaste bin will prevent greenwaste from breaking down. It may also prevent the greenwaste from being re-used.
If you are unsure about what can be put into any of your bins, please contact the Waste Management Officer on (08) 9272 0605.
What happens to our greenwaste?
It is important that you only place "acceptable materials" (i.e. grass, leaves, weeds, branches, small logs, prunings, etc.) in your lime green-top green waste bin to ensure a quality soil conditioner can be produced.
How can I find out further information and who can I contact?


The word 'smart' is taking on additional meaning for floor care operators, as more and more factors affect what the layman still thinks of as a straightforward job. The polishing of hard floors may still be the cartoon image of the cleaning industry, but the image of the low-paid worker leaning on a mop is now even further from reality; and there are increasing pressures on the buildings manager, the cleaning contractor, and the flooring manufacturer.
The big debate within the industry at present, is how best to cope with these pressures. On the one hand, the corporate building needs to keep an absolutely pristine image, and a polished floor is the accepted classic example of corporate smartness. On the other hand, there is no money around – the buildings manager knows it, and the cleaning contractor knows it.
As a result, the need is for better judged, better managed, more time effective and cost effective floor maintenance. Now has to be the time when suppliers and clients together take floor cleaning into the modern world - effectively, smart floors now need smarter solutions.
This means challenging some assumptions, which has been the point of some by 3M. According to Richard Jones, market manager in charge of floor and surface care for 3M's Western Europe operations, it is already known there are wide variations in preferred working methods across the continent. So 3M did something unusual – it researched floor finish products and their usage right across Europe, talking to flooring manufacturers and relevant experts. Among other things, 3M looked at the estimated size of commercial flooring in Europe, which is certainly over 500 million square metres, and broke it down into types of the hard floorings to be found, and then the types of products being used on them.
The exercise was intended to show 3M whether it was practical to launch its new floor protection products in Europe, but the associated findings proved the future in flooring work lies in more than just new products. The research proved the supply chain is now looking for realistic debate and answers to a mountain of practical problems, from budget restrictions to health and safety regulations, and an appreciation of regional preferences across all of them.
Typically the concept of 'shine' produces astonishing differences, which demand new attitudes. The old thinking by manufacturers was simply to make products which gave a corporate floor a bright, see-your-face-in-it shine. The new thinking is to ask: does the customer actually want floors that shine?
"In America shine is everything, and they will shine every surface as highly as they possibly can," observes Richard Jones. "In many parts of Europe the general view is that some form of shine is OK, but a very high shine is perceived as being slippery, and so it is not always popular.
There is more to this than meets the eye. Many other apparently minor differences in preference can turn out to be very serious in practice, says Richard Jones. A manufacturer can no longer assume different countries like to polish in the same way.
Typically, he says, there is no point in trying to persuade a cleaning contractor to buy a clever new applicator if the workers prefer a bucket. This shows the importance of listening to the regional European client, says 3M. Many of its products are already made in Europe, so the company does have an appreciation of different preferences.
"There's a statistic which suggests that something like 80 per cent of all dirt in a building is carried in through the front door, and all building owners want to prevent this. They also want to prevent it reaching the polished surface that may be inside.
"As the visitor walks in there is a degree of abrasion between mat and sole, and so the right product solution is a kind of open-weave nylon-type mat with holes in it, which 'grabs' dirt from the bottom of the shoe.
On the hard surface, the traditional assumption is that achieving a shine is a labour intensive activity. This may be a dangerous and outdated view, because it invites the temptation to see floor maintenance as a place to save money on manpower and equipment. The better solution may be a smarter one.
"It really doesn't surprise me at all that cleaning and janitorial costs eat up so much of a facilities manager's budget and certainly, something over 90 per cent of cleaning costs are in labour," says Richard Jones. "So the demand now is for the cleaning industry to help the buildings managers quantify how much they are spending.
"The answer cannot be in cutting corners - it will be in looking at alternative practices and processes which will achieve the same result more economically. The principle of 'work smarter' is now running right down the line in floor cleaning, from ourselves to the operative, and when either the facilities manager or the contract cleaner can demonstrate a 'smarter' system which saves money, saves time, and has some 'green' credentials, this is going to get attention.
This is why 3M has recently introduced Scotchgard Stone and Vinyl Floor Protectors, which remove the need for a vast amount of that work. There is nothing a market appreciates more than a solution to a known problem, and a trend we can expect to see in the cleaning trade, says 3M, is where traditional methods are costing too much time or money, then the manufacturers will have to come up with newer and better ideas.
A vast number of interested parties are now clearly keen to be up with the game on new ideas. From buildings managers there is a constant question: "Are we doing it right?", and in this the clients are not alone – many cleaning contractors are keen to assure themselves that their sales proposition is abreast of the times, and ask exactly the same question.
The positive result of this is a clear mutual interest in evolution of products and methods. There will be evolution, says Richard Jones, and this will now involve manufacturers and clients in discussion, not simply from a manufacturer hopefully aiming a new product at the market.
"There will certainly be advances – who would ever have believed that we would become familiar with self-cleaning ovens and even self-cleaning glass, or a freezer which defrosts itself?
"I'm not suggesting we're about to produce the floor which cleans itself, but whatever inspirations we may come up with, we still have to listen to what is called 'the voice of the customer', because the customer's requirements are at the heart of what makes a product work – and what the cleaning customer in Chile wants may be very different from the cleaning customer in Finland.
"I recently spoke to a giant contract cleaner, and I asked him: "What are the most important advances you expect to make next?" He replied that his four priorities were to use less water, to use less chemicals, to use less energy, and to protect the safety of his employees.
Demands like those will not stop coming. The major trend in floor cleaning and care is that manufacturers are going to have to be all the more ready to react.
