Mother's Day around the world

Mother's Day is May 12 ? what a great opportunity to celebrate mothers! Here are some Mother's Day facts you may not have known.

In most countries Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, among them the USA, Canada, most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Japan, the Philippines and South Africa.

One notable exception to this rule are the UK and Ireland, which celebrate Mother's Day on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Most Arab countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 21 (vernal equinox). Most East European countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 8.

In most countries, Mother's Day is a recent observance derived from the holiday as it has evolved in America. When it was adopted by other countries and cultures, it was given different meanings, associated to different events (religious, historical or legendary), and celebrated on a different date or dates.

Some countries already had existing celebrations honoring motherhood, and their celebrations have adopted several external characteristics from the US holiday, like giving carnations and other presents to your own mother.

Flooring Q&A with Joel J.

Hi Joel,

Joel Jensen

Q: During a family cookout, grease from the

grill got on the patio and was promptly

tracked onto our light-colored carpet.

What now?

A: I salute all grillmasters! Try this: Acting

quickly, gently blot up as much of the

surface grease as possible with paper

towels, careful not to press too hard.

Sprinkle a liberal amount of absorbent

baking soda or corn starch on the affected

area. After 20 minutes carefully vacuum

up all the powder. If the spot is still visible,

continue with this method: Mix one cup of

warm water with a few drops of mild liquid

dish soap. Dip a clean white cloth in this

solution and then put light pressure on the

grease stain. Leave the solution on for five

minutes. Using another clean white cloth,

gently blot the stain. Repeat until the spot

is no longer visible, then place paper

towels over it. Hold them down with a

heavy object and leave overnight to

absorb any remaining liquid.

Joel says:

As always, if you're wary of damaging your carpet or if you have a particularly stubborn stain, professional cleaning is the best way to go. Call Jensen's anytime for a free in home consultation.

Five little known health facts

Add to your health knowledge and astound friends and family with the truth behind some of the most common health-related misconceptions.

1. Black coffee does not sober up an intoxicated person. It will wake the person up, but will not change the alcohol levels in the bloodstream. It is better to drink fruit juice and water.

2. The color of your hair determines how many hairs you start with. Blonde people start with about 140,000, brunettes about 108,000 and redheads only 90,000. Hair grows more quickly at night and dark hair at a greater speed than blonde hair.

3. Fingernails grow faster than toenails. It is thought that the reason for this might be that sunlight stimulates nail growth, and feet are often covered.

4. Three quarters of all the food we eat on this planet come from eight types of grains: maize, rice, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, millet and rye.

5. The myth that spinach is extremely rich in iron, is the result of a printing error. Many decades ago, a table indicating nutritional values of certain food types put the decimal point, indicating the iron content of spinach, one position too far to the right, thereby increasing its supposed iron content tenfold. Despite the mistake being rectified more than 70 years ago, public perception hasn't changed.
