In an on-going struggle with the US EPA over nitrogen-related impacts on eelgrass in the Great Bay Estuary, Rochester’s Public Comments, released Friday, demonstrate perpetual EPA botches – potentially costing the city $400 million.
ROCHESTER — Following the submission of their Public Comments to the EPA’s recently released Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit, the city of Rochester is armed with new resolve in their fight to protect the Great Bay Estuary ecosystem – while defending their city’s best interests. In their 44-page document, Rochester sets forth a revealing summary of EPA’s flawed scientific logic. The resulting “arbitrary and capricious” decisions by the EPA they say, consistently fail to follow the law of the Clean Water Act as well as EPA’s own federal regulations, while “ignoring important aspects of the problems of the Great Bay Estuary, failing to consider important and relevant factors”, and ultimately demonstrating “clear errors in judgment.” The comments, in short, detail an EPA that failed to bring their expertise to bear on the issues of the Great Bay Estuary.
Rochester’s comments expressly recognize “the absolute need to strive to improve and sustain the health of the Great Bay Estuary ecosystem.” Yet, they say the general permit allows the city no possible way to comply due to science and other applied factors EPA chose to use, while ignoring others. As the comments state: “The EPA cannot be allowed an ‘unfettered license to disrupt entire communities and require compliance to murky, arbitrary, and unachievable standards.’”
For the General Permit, the EPA relied on three “dated studies of much smaller estuaries to impose a load rate for total nitrogen from NH communities of 100 kg/ha/year, translating into a 45% reduction in Total Nitrogen (TN) by the combined 13 affected NH communities.” Using data readily available to the EPA, and methods used by the NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), Rochester’s comments demonstrate that even if all towns were removed from the watershed and the area was void of human life – covered in only natural vegetation, there would be “no basis to expect that [Rochester] could achieve the loading threshold of 100 kg/ha/yr” as required.
As City Manager Blaine Cox explains: “It is not a matter of how to meet the standards. The reality is that as the draft permit is written currently, there is no viable strategy for us to achieve the goals required within the permit.”
If EPA’s TN threshold is upheld, Rochester would be required to spend an estimated amount for Waste Water Treatment Facility (WWTF) improvements of between $12.9 and $14.2 million – including increased annual operations and maintenance expenses of between $840,000 and $980,000.
In addition, the EPA previously had informed the City that it will also have to treat total phosphorus (TP) to reduce its WWTF discharge. The cost for the TP upgrades is estimated at $15.6 million, with an additional $260,000 per year for operations and maintenance. Rochester has up to $40 million of planned upgrades to the system for fiscal year 2020 through 2024 – estimated at an additional $4 per unit increase in fees, equaling a rate of $10.75 per unit by 2024.
The city’s Finance Department has estimated that the direct cost impact on ratepayers for the TN and TP upgrades would be an additional $5 per unit –raising the rate ultimately to $15.75.
Besides additional errors in EPA calculations and unsound scientific studies found by Rochester’s team of experts and consultants, the claim by EPA that it used certain “adaptive management” approaches to the Draft General Permit is false, the comments state. In fact, no adaptive management measures are included or set forth in the permit.
While Rochester’s comments highlight the critical need for a healthy, resilient Great Bay Estuary ecosystem, city officials say they have become aware of well-intentioned groups relying on exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims to motivate citizens to distrust their efforts. Some groups such as the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) have publicly questioned the motives of the municipalities in the region, accusing them of “poking fun at the science” and using “the same tired old statements.” CLF, however, fails to present any scientific data to back up their claims.
The comments affirm that the city will continue to push for sound scientific basis and the ability to work towards achievable goals using sustainable methods. Rochester officials stress that the goal of a healthy Great Bay ecosystem should not be an “us vs. them” exercise. Stated City Manager Blaine Cox: “You can’t choose between the welfare of the people you serve, and the well-being of a vital watershed.” Cox continued, “It must be both: the health and well-being of the bay and the same for the people who rely on it. That, to us is sound environmentalism, best practice and good governance.”
“We’ll continue to look to EPA for pathways forward and the chance to work together in forming an adaptive strategy with meaningful, achievable goals that will make a positive difference in the health of our Great Bay.”


Polkadot is a blockchain that has a very clear and innovative goal: to function as an interconnection hub for the various existing blockchains.
To this end, Polakadot has two main functions.
The first is to function as a data transmission and processing blockchain. This would allow Polkadot to be an extra layer of scalability for other blockchains.
And the second is independent operation through its own blockchains. Which gives Polkadot the ability to run its own Smart Contracts and host Decentralized Applications (DApps).
Polkadot uses Parachains technology, which allows it to create sub-chains with independent operation from the main chain, known as Relay Chain.

Maybe this year I will go to the Statue of Liberty because the crown is being reopened for the first time since 9/11 for tourists (not terrorists) on July 4th. I'll have to wait until tourist season is over because only 30 visitors/hour will be granted entrance to the crown and I am impatient.

Oek de Jong - Hokwerda’s Child
In Hokwerda’s Child, the writer tells the story of a determined young woman, Lin Hokwerda, who loses herself in love. The book is narrated with a broad vision and an extraordinary eye for detail. The novel opens with an oppressive scene: as a young girl, Lin is repeatedly thrown into the river by her father. Every time, after the rough splash into the water, she swims back to her father. Again and again she is flung back – until she almost drowns. This scene casts a shadow over the entire book.
In her twenties, after a successful sporting career that is prematurely cut short, Lin meets the man of her dreams. But the pattern of their love resembles that of the opening scene: Lin is consistently cast away by Henri but always comes back. When she meets Jelmer, a mild-mannered lawyer, it seems she will be able to erase this dangerous man from her life. But her restlessness persists and she seeks out Henri once more.
De Jong allows his characters to reach the peaks of love in sensual, erotic scenes, briefly banishing all threats. But, with great stylistic force, De Jong eventually carries Lin and Henri to their inevitable doom.
Oek de Jong (1952) made his debut with a collection of short stories, Massimo’s Ascension (1976), for which he received the Reina Prinsen Geerlings award. He enjoyed his real breakthrough in 1979 with the novel Billowing Summer Dresses, an enormous success. His second novel Circle in the Grass was extremely well received by both critics and the reading public. In 1993 De Jong published The Octopus and in 1997 a collection of essays entitled A Man Leaping into the Future.
- ‘A love story that gleams darkly, repeatedly crossing the ill-defined boundary between love and hate. A masterly hand is at work here.’ – Trouw
- ‘You feel you really get to know the main characters, both of them, and in their tormented tension discover a love that is sincere after all, sometimes even pure, with an extremely confusing way of making everything right. - NRC Handelsblad

In the end, he was probably persuaded by the general opinion that if England bowled first it would give them their best chance of winning. If his new ball bowlers had found and kept to the right length and line he might even have enjoyed a second helping of lunch.
It seemed inconceivable that Dean Headley and Andy Caddick could again bowl as badly as they had done last week. But they did.
For the third time in succession, Headley started a Test innings off with a no-ball and then bowled consistently short. If Headley did not know his job was to try and imitate Angus Fraser's bowling a week ago, there is something wrong with his thinking and the chain of command. Surely, since the last Test ended, just about the only piece of advice he can have been given was to make sure he kept the batsmen on the front foot.
Perhaps he had allowed the tension to get to him and his nerves took over. None the less, one would think that a Test bowler would have worked out for himself some sort of fail safe mechanism. That might mean cutting his pace down and making sure that the ball ditched in the right place. But Headley went on as if unaware of what was needed.
There was no attempt by any of his colleagues, including his captain, to have a talk with him. Headley is an inexperienced Test cricketer and at this stage of his development needs careful handling.
In his first spell, Caddick was not quite as bad as Headley but he ploughed his way through all the colours of the cricketing rainbow. After 16 overs, the West Indies had reached 36 for no wicket and Caddick was brought back to bowl a second spell. His first ball was a beauty which left Stuart Williams and had him caught at first slip as he played forward.
Brian Lara leant elegantly into his first ball which was a juicy half- volley and stroked it through mid-off for four. Caddick seemed surprised, but he was probably the only man on the ground who was.
He came back for his third spell immediately after lunch. His first ball found the edge of Sherwin Campbell's bat and it sped away through Nasser Hussain at third slip. A single followed and then Caddick bowled a short one to Lara who pulled him most dismissively for four.
The next ball Caddick over-compensated and and another full half-volley was driven through mid-off to the boundary. This was followed by a push past square leg for two before a full toss was sent through mid-off for another four.
The new-ball bowlers should go back to school.Reuse content

Hello! The Hello Bluebird July Release is now available!
I am sharing two projects with some of this release.
My first card uses the new Otter Friends stamp set and dies. I kept my scene super simple but cute!
I created the water for my otter to swim in by watercoloring various colors of Distress Inks direct to wet watercolor paper and allowed it to dry. I used the Grassy Knoll dies (the clouds) to create my "waves". I taped all my waves back together on the backside and trimmed them down on the sides. I added foam adhesive to the back and adhered to a white top folding card.
My otter and groupings of cattails were Copic colored and die cut. They were tucked in behind the waves at the shoreline and my otter was tucked between the waves and holds a present! A simple black sentiment strip was added at the bottom to ground my scene.
My second card uses the new Gallery Frame Die #2. I love creating cards with just die cuts!
I wanted to keep the focus on the flowers in this set so I kept the frame all white.
I grouped my leaves in a wreath fashion and added the adorable little flowers.
To the bottom of the Gallery Frame Die, I added a layered black die cut 'thanks'.
Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

This concentration of boulders are located on a hillside on the north side of Lynn Woods. They are typically easy to find and just down the trail from the Weetamoo area boulders. There are 5 total boulders in this area with 3 of them located directly off the red blazed trail.
From the Ballpark lot, head right to the north side of the pond. Follow the wide trail for about 10 minutes till you can finally cut left on a red blazed trail. Follow this path for another 10-15 minutes to find the boulders. You will cross two wooden foot bridges and several intersections along the way. Simply stay on the red trail and you will be fine.

SHEFROL: An Eco-friendly way of treating water
SHEFROL-based waste water treatment plant built at Chinna Kalapet fishing hamlet in Puducherry, was found to be successful.
Scientific technology named SHEFROL (SHEet Flow ROot Level) was in news in the first week of August 2015. It was in news as the SHEFROL-based waste water treatment plant built at Chinna Kalapet fishing hamlet in Puducherry, was found to be successful.
The waste water treatment plant was set up in November 2014 by PhD student Ashraf Bhat as part of his thesis work with the guidance of Assistant Professor Tasneem Bhat. Both are from the Centre for Pollution Control and Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology, Pondicherry University.
The plant uses clean, green and inexpensive technology called SHEFROL method to treat wastewater using two aquatic plants, four leaf clover and water hyacinth.
Highlights of waste water treatment plant
• The plant was designed by Professor SA Abbasi from Pondicherry University. The plant measures around 9 metres and has a capacity of 10000 litres.
• This bio-reactor uses the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) to absorb nutrients, pathogens and micro organisms from water.
• The plant consists of sand bags placed in pits and channels, a sedimentation tank and a non-permeable sheet which ensures wastewater does not seep into the ground.
• The treated water is used to irrigate a patch of Casuarina saplings.
• This plant takes only six hours to treat wastewater. It also rids it of its turbidity and smell.
The SHEFROL technology was first tested within the Pondicherry University in 2006 to treat the wastewater for one building. Subsequently, two more plants were installed in the university using the same technology, which uses duckweed, water hyacinth and salvinia.
The SHEFROL technology can be used anywhere. It makes use of the topography and gravity, thus doing away with the requirement of pumping water.
A patent claim for the SHEFROL technology, backed financially by the Department of Biotechnology, Union Ministry of Science and Technology, was registered in 2011, and published in the Official Journal of The Patent Office, India.
Though the technology has been patented, the inventors are offering free transfer of technology to communities and in public interest It is inexpensive, efficient, simple, robust and eco-friendly.

- Calvin Lowery: The opponent always have their Red Blocks blue blocks a very scarce I'm not going to playing I don't think the opponent has too much leeway and their blocks is always on the board in groups you might see a blue here in there get Pony got it made.
- Matt Besenfelder: Copy of match maker.
- Sandra Merritt: I like the game but the opponent have all the Red blocks have to really hustle to get the blue blocks I don't know how long I'm going to hang with this because I lose a lot of boosters with opponent being first all the time and hardly no blue blocks.
- Manoj Kumar: This game is much fun and i always play this game it's really very much fun.
- Dorcent Henry: Good game.

- Theresa Tunstill: Really good game thanks 😊.
- RIZWAN PRINCE: Nice.
- Farrukh Zakir: Good.
- Fariq Lee Channel: Nice.
- Sheila DT: Update 4/25/22: Game not updated since January?! You will not get last turn or points now. Update: Be prepared if you are losing, your last turn you will not get. Unfair! Opponent got a combo, normal match 3, then got two extra moves which made me lose and lost my booster. Also got matched with a person who had better boosters, yet I have never gotten better boosters?Also it is rigged to not give you all that you win. Just wrong and unfair..
- Carla Davis: Great game one of my top ten.
- Mohd Faheem: New booster updated please...
- chandrabhan patil: Pls add tournament.
- Parastoo Mehrabli: 🤩👍👌😍.
- Anita Parker: Could I make a suggestion. Could we see the opponent booster before committing to play?.

- chandrakant namdar: Wonderful game it is......nice but i have q opponent is computer or player?.
- Jan Nay: Really like this game, however it has some very irritating issues with connection. None of my many other game apps do I have such frequent complete cut offs right in the middle of a match and always when I'm about to win. Don't see how this can be coincidental as it happens in the exact same way in their nearly identical sister game also. This issue keeps me from spending money or playing as often as I'd like..
- John Kohler: I like this game a lot but it's very unbalanced. Usually the teaming is paired against players with differing levels of boosters. It ends up an unfair game as one opponent is stronger than the other. If you fixed this so that but opponents are matched with the same level booster it would make the game much less disappointing. Thanks for listening..
- Robert Desmond: Very nice game to play 😁.
- OSENG BORINAGA: Madaya Naman Ang laro ...pag Oras ko Ang time maliit ...samantalang sa kalaban mahaba Ang binibigay na Oras.

Its benefits for everyone but it's not fair. And one more thing Is about the TIES SCORE, why draw???? Who wants to draw?specially if you are in fever? But for me I always draw because I dont wait all day for my opponent to draw. You should add 1 more round to break the tie. I hope you can fix all this inconvenience things..

Add poor customer service to it this now too😡.

I've been early register to this game, and today is my first day... Two stars for playing online and good and simple design... You missed three stars for: It is the same design of (Wind runner- Puzzle match), I don't feel excited while playing because it is like playing puzzle match... Thank you.

YOU SHOULD UPDATE your server! NM! I lost too much money and losing games because of thier server so DELETED, MINUS 1 MORE STAR.
- Duaa Khan: best game.
- Mysti Angel: App cheats a lot, by extending time of opponent when time has expired, gives opponent extra moves, takes away your turn and gives it to opponent. Overall still a 3 for graphics and the fact that it is a new game still working out the bugs.

Hilary Swank was only supposed to take “a year” away from Hollywood when her father needed a lung transplant
The 46-year-old actress took a break from her Hollywood career to care for her father after he underwent a “difficult” organ transplant, and whilst she was only expecting to be out of the spotlight for a year, setbacks with her dad’s health journey meant she ended up staying away from her career for three years
14 August 2020
Hilary began returning to work in 2018, and has now reflected on her dad’s health five years after his surgery, saying he’s “doing really well”.
© 2020 Bang Showbiz, NZCity
She said: “It was supposed to be a year, because it takes a year to see if an organ transplant takes. A lung transplant is the most difficult of all, as it’s an incredibly delicate organ. The plan was to take off a year. I became my dad’s health advocate. One year quickly turned into two, and then three.
“And, thank God, prayers were answered. He is healthy and doing really well five-plus years later.”
Although she’s back in the spotlight, Hilary isn’t throwing herself into too many projects at once, as she’s keen to only work on things she’s passionate about, such as the upcoming Netflix drama ‘Away’.
Speaking to Health magazine, she added: “Before being an actor, I wanted to be an astronaut. I had such passion for, and respect for, astronauts and people who are exploring something that’s so much bigger than all of us.
“Something else, which was just as significant to me when I read ‘Away’, was that the script was unique in its inclusion of so many multi-ethnic characters. They too are all struggling with their own powerful personal stories, which really connects all of us. It also highlights the beautiful fact that space has no borders. We could use more of that down here right now.”
Meanwhile, the 'Million Dollar Baby' star previously said she was happy to take a career break for the sake of her father.
She explained: "Yeah, I took three years off to be with him and help him through that life journey.
"He's great, thank you for asking. For those of you who don't know, my dad got a lung transplant. It's the hardest surgery a person can undergo and I thank all the people that make themselves a donor, it saves lives.
"They had given him a short time to live if he didn't get a lung transplant and thankfully he got one and he's alive and thriving and well."

Saudi writer jailed for seven years amid 'intensified crackdown'
The Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR) said Nadhir al-Majid, 40, received the sentence last week from the Specialised Criminal Court in Riyadh.
Rights monitors have criticised the practice of trying activists in such courts, which handle "terrorism" cases.
"Reports have confirmed that the writer was alone during the hearing and not accompanied by his family or his lawyer," said the Gulf Centre, which has offices in Copenhagen and Beirut.
It said the prosecution filed many charges against Majid, including participating in demonstrations and "having contact with correspondents" of foreign media organisations.
Another watchdog, Human Rights Watch, in 2011 identified Majid as one of more than 160 dissidents arrested, mostly in Eastern Province where the Shia minority had protested for political reforms and the release of prisoners.
He was freed in 2012, the Gulf Centre said.
In early January London-based Amnesty International said "a string of activists" had been detained or appeared in court over previous weeks in connection with peaceful human rights work.
"Saudi Arabia's authorities have begun the year with an intensified crackdown against human rights activists", it said.
On a visit to the kingdom last week, a United Nations independent expert called on Saudi Arabia to "liberalise" its approach to social media, where activists communicate.
Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, said he received reports of "instances in which it has cracked down on certain people" communicating over the internet.

Beyoncé and JAY-Z Set To Recieve Vanguard Honour at GLAAD Media Awards
Beyoncé and JAY-Z are well known for using their platform to help people in disavantaged situations, and now they’ll be receiving the Vanguard Award at the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
The event will take place in Los Angeles on March 28th, 2019, and while it’s unclear if The Carters will make an appearance, the award will celebrate their support to the LGBTQ community.
“Beyoncé and JAY-Z are global icons and passionate defenders of human rights and acceptance for all people,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said as Variety reports. “When Beyoncé and JAY-Z speak, the world becomes inspired and when it comes to LGBTQ people, their voices of acceptance have been heard loud and clear.” Both of the artists are being celebrated for their outspoken stance on marriage equality as well as their continued efforts for inclusivity in their work.

Today was a very special day for my oldest daughter Heather ~ today was Special Olympics Track and Field. She participated in three events and was awarded a ribbon and two medals. I am so proud of her ~ it was so much fun to get to watch her and the others having so much fun. The volunteers were so great with all the kids too ~ thank you.
I did make a card tonight.. it started with a stamped image that I watercolored and then grabbed some cardstock I already had cut.. then some pattern paper and I had to change to another stamped image because I didn't think the first one went with the paper.. I have so much going on on this card that it made my head spin! just kidding.. I used the stamp set Essence of Love that is in the Occasions Mini SU catalog. Taken with Teal, Summer Sun and Confetti Cream Cardstock.. some pattern paper from Wild Asparagus that I trimmed around the design.. inked the edges (inked the edges of everything, even the ribbon).. then I stamped over with French Script and the weeds and butterfly.. on the main image I stamped the weeds/flower stamp.. then stamped the butterfly in versamark and used clear embossing powder.. then took a sponge over it.. nothing fancy.. just many different things.. probably because of the busy day I have had.. I thought I needed a busy card! ha ha..
tomorrow I am hoping that I can get some cards made for deployed troops.. I did send a PM to a lady on SCS saying I wanted to send some to her to send to troops too.. so I got to get busy stamping.
thanks for looking and reading, Pam
God Bless All Our Military
This turned out gorgeous!
Wow, this is stunning!!! Sounds like Heather had a great day.

Believe it or not, your hotel sheets matter. Your guests want to sleep on perfect hotel quality sheets. That means freshly washed, luxuriously smooth, and crisp hotel sheets.
So, are you offering your guests super comfortable, squeaky clean, and cosy bed sheets?
And another thing: how do you maintain your hotel sheets’ perfect hygiene week in week out, guest after guest?
Keep reading and you will find out amazing ideas to help you take care of your hotel sheets the easy way.
1. Always Use Hotel Quality Sheets
Firstly, what are hotel quality sheets? Hotel quality sheets are sheets:
- Specifically designed for the hospitality industry
- Made from superior fabric that feels extremely luxurious, soft, smooth, and crisp
- Crispier, heavier, and thicker compared to retail bed sheets
- Comprise of a thicker thread/weave that can withstand frequent use and regular washing
With that in mind, how do you select hotel quality sheets? Here are your clues:
- Choose a bed sheet material that best suits your needs: silk, cotton, linen, poly-cotton blend, microfiber, bamboo, etc.
- Pay attention to the thread count on the bed sheet label. Remember inflated higher thread count does not mean that you are getting a better fabric
- Pick a suitable fabric weave for your hotel sheets. Percale and sateen weave are popular with bed sheets
- Know the right bed sheet size so that your sheets fit perfectly on your bed
Now that you know how to select your hotel quality sheets, let’s help you with some keyword ideas to Google (just to make your search easier):
- Linen wholesalers Australia
- Wholesale bed linen suppliers
- Linen suppliers Australia
- Motel linen for sale
- Hotel quality linen Australia
- Hotel linen suppliers Australia
In case you want to cut to the chase, check out Australian Linen Supply. Here, you will get commercial linen supplies to suit your needs. Whether you are operating:
- Bed & Breakfasts
- Boutiques and lodges
- Farm Stays
- Holiday Homes
- Holiday parks and campgrounds
- Luxury Lodges
2. Change Your Hotel Sheets Accordingly
How often accommodation properties change their bed sheets largely depends on the quality and integrity of the establishment.
- Universal: all accommodation properties replace sheets and mattress pads upon checkout
- High-end hotels: habitually gives guests an option to have their sheets changed daily or every third day as an environmental platitude
- Mid-scale hotels: may or may not give their guests an option
- After three nights or earlier if the guest checks out?
- After every second day of a guest’s stay or earlier in case of check out?
- When the sheets are soiled?
- When the customer requests you to change their sheets?
- After each guest checkout?
Here’s the thing:
Whatever your routine is, know that your customers are taking notes. Therefore, change your hotel sheets accordingly.
And before we go any further, we’ll leave you with a video of hotels that were caught not changing their bed sheets for new guests.

3. Clean Your Hotel Quality Sheets the Right Way
Different fabrics need different cleaning care. So, the first step towards cleaning your hotel sheets right is knowing your symbols.
And how do you that?
By reading all labels on your bed sheets. And taking note of any specific cleaning requirements.
- The right washing cycle to use
- The ideal method to use to dry your bed sheets
- The right ironing temperature to use
- When to use a cold or hot wash or in between
- When to use or avoid bleach
4. Sort Your Hotel Sheets Before Washing
Start by separating your hotel sheets before washing them. Sort your bed linen by the following categories:
Degree of soiling: Dirtier bed sheets should be washed separately on longer heavy duty cycle - separate from the less soiled ones
Colour shades: Deep coloured bed sheets may bleed, therefore, wash them separately from your white and light coloured bed sheets
Fabric type: Finer fabrics like silk should be washed separately from other bed sheets that are made from less sensitive fabrics such as polyester
Item Size: Mix large and small items together for better washing actions. A typical example may include washing your hotel sheets, pillowcases, and mattress pads together
Fabric weight: Heavier beddings like blankets and duvets should be washed separately from lighter fabrics such as bed linen
5. Get Rid of Ugly Stains
Once you understand how to pre-treat stains, then you will have an easy time keeping your commercial bed sheets stain free.
Keep the following points in mind:
- If you manage to treat the stain quickly, it will vanish easily
- Rubbing the stained fabric together will blot the stain. To prevent the stain from expanding, use a white cloth and blot the stain from the edges
- Launder the stained bed sheets as quickly as possible. Use the label’s warmest recommended water
- Got a stubborn stain? Soak the stained sheets in plain water for 30 minutes
- Pour detergent on the stain and wait for 5 to 10 minutes before washing your sheets
Here are some common stains that you may have to deal with:
- Coffee, tea, berries, and sweat stains
- Blood, dirt, and motor oil stains
- Butter, margarine, or grease stains
- Chewing gum stains, among others
We suppose you could use a stain removal cheat sheet. Take a look and don’t forget to pin it.
6. Use the Appropriate Cleaning Detergents
You know that using the right detergent for your laundry load is important, right? Plus, using that detergent in the right amount?
So how do you determine the amount of detergent to use?
These are the factors that will help you decide:
- The quantity of your load
- How dirty your bed sheets are
- The hardness or softness of your water
- The type (read quality) of the detergent you are using
Before we go to the next point, we’ll take a quick look at the qualities of a good commercial detergent.
Here we go:
- Built to remove tough stains efficiently
- Cleans your bed sheets and leaves them with a fresh mild fragrant
- Keeps your white bed sheets white or whiter
- Shields your coloured sheets from fading
- Usable in any temperature
7. Load Your Washing Machine Properly
You could be having the best washing machine. And the best laundry detergent. But if you don’t know how to load your washing machine properly, you won’t get the best results.
So how do you load your washing machine the right way?
- By knowing your washer's drum and load size. This also helps you save time and energy
- By not overstuffing your laundry. A hack that also saves on water
In order to determine the perfect load size, do this:
Place your hand into the drum. If your hand fits between your laundry and side of the drum, know that you have the perfect load size.
8. Select the Right Wash Cycle
The bed sheet’s care label will help you know the right wash cycle. So be sure to check it first.
Once you sort your bed sheets by colour and fabric type, it will be easy to set the wash cycle.
Check out the table below for more information:
|Normal/ Regular Cycle
|Best for white sheets or heavily soiled sheets
|Uses fast agitation in the wash cycle, and a fast spin cycle
|Best for bed sheets with a “gentle wash” tag. For example, silk sheets
|Uses slow agitation in the wash cycle, and a slow rinse cycle
|Permanent Press Cycle
|Best for non-cotton bed sheets and synthetic fibres such as rayon and polyester
|Uses fast agitation in the wash cycle, and a slow spin cycle
Along with getting your wash cycle right, you also need to pay attention to the water temperature.
Why? Because the right water temperature helps you to:
- Get amazingly clean and bright bed sheets
- Keep your coloured bed sheets from running and bleeding
- Banish spots and odours
The table below helps paint a clearer picture.
|Hot water removes the toughest stains and gives your bed sheets a deep clean
Tip: Wash your hotel sheets with the hottest water temperature listed on the care label. Hot water kills germs and eliminates dust mites that synonymous with bedding.
9. Properly Dry Your Hotel Quality Sheets
Now that your hotel sheets are nicely clean and fresh, the next obvious thing is to dry them accordingly.
Therefore, do this:
- Immediately take your hotel sheets out of the washer (to avoid musty smells)
- Check the care labels on the hotel sheets to help you dry them appropriately
- Select the right drying temperature to prevent shrinkage and damaging the fibres
Tip: If possible, hang your bed sheets to dry outside on a clothesline. Sunshine is a natural disinfectant that also brightens whites.
10. Handle Hotel Sheets Wrinkles Like A Pro
Ironing is by far the most common method used to remove wrinkles from hotel sheets. Plus, ironing helps kill the last of germs and dust mites that may have remained after washing.
By the way, wrinkled hotel sheets look unsightly and feel not-so-good to sleep on. But which guest can resist impossibly smooth bed sheets that feel amazingly good against their skin?
But let’s face it, ironing manually is a time-consuming and costly task. No wonder established accommodation properties stick their bed sheets through a huge machine - straight from the washer. And that huge machine dries and folds their hotel sheets instantly - in about 30 seconds.
So is there any other way to take care of wrinkled bed linen? Some accommodation property owners have handy tips that you can borrow.
“Remove from dryer as soon as they are done and fold them. You'd be amazed at how fast sheets wrinkle just sitting in the dryer” - Zacharias
“To get the best results, I wash and spin on a slow speed, dry them on the line in the wind, fold and smooth carefully. When I make the bed I spray a fine mist of water on the sheets (a great tip I got from someone in the CC) and just keep smoothing my hands across the duvet covers and pillow-cases. This is best done the day before. The result isn't the shine that ironing gives, but they're certainly wrinkle-free and look great.” - Julia
“Keep your sheets, just dry on low and take them out immediately. I had horrible wrinkles drying on high heat. Now, almost none.” - Jess
“Any sheet made of polyester/cotton 50:50 will be fine, easy to wash, no ironing and If they are thin (as upper sheet) it will dry quickly.” - Branka & Silvia
“I triple sheet my beds and to get it absolutely wrinkle free, I put my sheets on the bed slightly damp. Works like a charm!” - Sarah
“When I grew up, there was no permanent press materials yet, all sheets had to be ironed. Never again. I find the dryer works just fine for getting out wrinkles. I've never had a complaint about wrinkles, nor do I expect any.” - Kate
11. Store Your Hotel Sheets Appropriately
Keep your freshly laundered hotel sheets and bedding in a cool dry place. And away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
But before you store your bed linen, you need to fold them appropriately and store them in a way that doesn’t take up much space.
Learn from this video.
12. Know When It Is Time to Buy New Sheets
The greatest tip to keeping your commercial linen looking and feeling great is to know when it is time to buy new hotel sheets.
To cut off the guesswork, here are some hints to look out for:
- Materials: the fabric used on your hotel sheets has the ideal time it should last. Natural fibres such as cotton, silk, and linen tend to last longer than synthetic fibres.
- Wear and tear: always check for wear and tear signs on your bed sheets. Fading, loose fibres, and piling are some of the signs that you should be buying new sheets for your guests
- The age of the bed sheets: your commercial sheets are exposed to sweat, bacteria, frequent use, and regular washing. These factors dramatically reduce the bed sheet’s lifespan
- Stains: it is hard to get rid of some stubborn stains. Therefore, replace stained bed sheets with new ones. Don’t let your guests endure sleeping on stained bed sheets
With that in mind, it begs for the next question:
Where to Buy Hotel Quality Sheets in Australia?
The easiest way to buy hotel quality sheets is to shop online. There are many wholesale bed linen suppliers to check out.
While at it, check out Australian Linen Supply.
Australian Linen Supply is one of Australia’s leading importers and distributors of linen products designed for commercial laundry use, the hospitality sector and healthcare industries.

Now, it seems Bear, Ami and Billy were likely the family members who touched down in Los Angeles this week. A source exclusively confirmed to RadarOnline.com that the three were spotted jetting out of Spokane International Airport in Washington on March 15.
In an effort to disguise herself and her declining health, the source added that Ami wore purple sunglasses inside the airport as Bear and Billy bought “souvenir-type stuff from Spokane and bottled water and snacks.”
On Friday, Bear admitted on Instagram that it was finally “time to escape LA (again).”
However, he did not mention if his mom would be leaving with him.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Ami revealed earlier this year that the radiation and chemotherapy she received in California last year had worked. Her December 2017 medical scans showed no signs of cancer and she admitted to People, “God really does perform miracles.”
However, Ami’s recent use of a wheelchair has left fans questioning if she's enduring another rapid decline.

Turkmenistan Signs Gas, Oil Agreement
Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov has signed an order allowing a Turkish company to take part in the development of a newly discovered giant oil and gas field, his office said Sunday.
The Chalyk Energy company plans to spend US$140 million (euro105 million) to drill 12 oil wells up to 3,600 meters (nearly 12,000 feet) deep in the southeastern town of Iolotan, the presidential press service said in a statement.
Niyazov said last month that the Iolotan fields contained an estimated 7 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, adding to the Central Asian state's proven commercial reserves of 2.8 trillion cubic meters.
Last month, Turkmenistan invited the China ational Petroleum Corp. to participate in the development of the Iolotan fields. The CNPC plans to invest US$152 million (euro115 million) in tapping the fields.
Turkmenistan possesses the second-biggest gas reserves among all ex-Soviet republics, after Russia, and its resources are playing an increasingly important role in regional geopolitics.
In April, Turkmenistan concluded an agreement to build a gas pipeline to China. Currently Russia's state gas giant Gazprom controls the only transit route for Turkmen gas exports.

Law.com, BP-Paid Law Professor Vouches for Feinberg on Gulf Spill Work
A law professor being paid $950 an hour with BP's money has declared that the czar of the $20 billion claims fund for Gulf oil spill victims is independent of the oil giant.
Fund administrator Ken Feinberg said Thursday he has agreed to pay NYU professor Stephen Gillers for his advice. Since being hired, Gillers has written a letter stating that Feinberg is neutral and not subject to BP's direction or control.

Setting foot in Indonesia’s capital for the first time can be overwhelming. The crowds, the traffic and the pollution in Jakarta are not what usually makes up a pleasant city. But while tourists have the chance to escape anytime they want, it is a different story for expats who have relocated to Jakarta for work. They have to make do with what the city has to dish out, whether they like it or not.
“Culture Shock! Jakarta: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette,” might help with the adjustment.
Part of the Culture Shock! series and recently published in a revised edition, this is not your usual travel guide.
Instead, it provides insider tips and tricks on how to interact with Indonesians, and their customs and traditions, in order to get a better understanding of the culture.
The second part of the book is dedicated to practical aspects of moving to Jakarta, including where to find accommodation, schools, health services and good food.
Co-authored by Derek Bacon and Terry Collins, who have known this city for many years, the guide presents an informative look into expat life in the Big Durian.
“Derek is a former colleague here, but returned to the UK in 1997. We’ve remained friends since then,” said Collins, who has been living in Jakarta for over 20 years and authors the blog Jakartass.
“It was [due to the] combination of Derek’s ‘exile’ from Indonesia and my writing that I was commissioned to rewrite his book, which was to be included in Marshall Cavendish’s series of Culture Shock books,” said Collins, referring to Derek Bacon’s book, “Jakarta at Your Door,” which was published in 1999.
“My original revision had Derek’s work at its core,” he said.
“Apart from the rapid changes to a ‘modern’ lifestyle — ownership of private transport, shopping malls, handphones, online social networks and the like — in essence, Jakarta is little changed from then.
However, I considerably expanded the book and tried to personalize the experience of living in Jakarta based not only on my observations, but also on those of fellow foreign residents.”
However, even though the first edition of “Culture Shock! Jakarta” only hit the book shelves in 2007, the publishers felt that it was already time for a revised version, in light of the political and social changes that have happened in the country in the last three years.
“I double-checked all the phone numbers, addresses, both physical and online, and regulations, particularly visa and business,” Collins said.
“Updates of the political scene and music were also necessary as these are subject to ‘fashion.’
For example, Riza Arshad contributed his thoughts on the current jazz scene, a particular interest of mine.”
Other new additions to the 2007 edition are 16 pages of photographs.
“But this is not a coffee-table book, nor is it a reference book, with details of restaurants, hotels and the like, although I hope the lists of embassies and cultural centers, the mini-section on Indonesia and other ‘facts’ prove of value,” Collins said.
“It is a guide to living here, so, above all, I hope readers have an understanding with what is going on around them and aren’t tempted to flee at the first opportunity.”
While Collins calls Jakarta home, Bacon, who still visits from time to time, now feels overwhelmed by the capital.
“I haven’t lived in Jakarta for a while now, but when I do visit, I always think it seems worse than the time previously,” Bacon said.
“Last time I visited [in July], I left wondering how I ever managed to live there at all.
"But I also remember feeling like that when I first arrived [in 1990], and I have to remind myself that this city really does take some getting used to.
"When I visit areas of greater Jakarta, like BSD City, I’m reminded how much the place continues to expand. It makes me wonder where it will end.
"I imagine all the cities on Java swelling and swelling until they all merge into one single never-ending city.”
“Culture Shock! Jakarta” definitely should help newcomers settle in.
The book is a pleasant and a humorous read, studded with personal experiences that one would never find in a regular travel guide.
Illustrations by Trigg, a British illustrator based in Hong Kong, add more color, as do the black and white and color photographs.
When asked if the recent changes in Jakarta ever make him think of leaving, Collins said that the Big Durian is his home.
“I’ve been supporting an Indonesian family for over 20 years, still live in the same rented house and I’m not bored,” Collins said.
“Sure, like everyone else, the chaos that is Jakarta gets to me as much as anyone — everyone — else, but Jakartass is my outlet for both the frustrations and my thoughts on how to make life better for Jakartans.”

|View from our Casa|
Settled by Spanish explorers in 1514 Trinidad has had a colourful history, from its origins as a small farming community to a hideaway for smugglers and pirates and then as a centre for the booming sugar milling industry of the 19th century. When the sugar industry was decimated, due to conflicts and fires during the war of independence, the town became a rural back water, largely unknown and ignored by the rest of Cuba. One of the few good things President Batista did was to pass a preservation law in the 1950s in order to maintain Trinidad as an historical site. Today it has UNESCO world heritage status and is considered to be one of the best preserved, and least altered, historical towns in the Americas.

At night Plaza Mayor becomes a lively hub for the town with $2 mojitos served from a hole-in-the-wall bar and crowds of locals and tourists mingling and chatting. We had a great time hanging out there but it was also where we saw an unpleasant side of the local bureaucracy. Our delightful and totally professional guide, a black Cuban, was approached by the police and questioned. He was asked for his identity card and his details were rung through to headquarters. When all details checked out he was left to continue his evening. He told us later that this happens all the time. He thinks it is because he is black and that the authorities are suspicious as to why he is hanging out with foreign tourists. Later in the evening more police entered the square. Fortunately our guide spotted them coming and quickly removed himself from our group in order to avoid more hassles. We all felt bad for him and were a bit subdued after this incident. It had burst our happy 'tourist' bubble a little and shown us the dark side of an authoritarian government.

|Plaza Mayor becomes a fun and lively gathering place in the evenings|
Late in the evening a few of us decided to make our way back to our casas and got horribly lost, no hardship, though, because the streets are so picturesque it really seemed to be a shame to be heading home to bed anyway. We noticed the streets had water running down the centre of them. When we asked our guide about this he said that it is the waste water from the houses which is released every evening, it is the drainage system that has been in place for 200 years.
|Warm glow at sunset|
|Trinidad's primitive drainage system|
I highly recommend Trinidad if you want to experience a town almost frozen in time. It is picturesque, quaint and charming but this also means there is little infrastructure for today's modern lifestyles.
Here are my recommendations for Trinidad:
ACCOMMODATION: Casa Carmen Y Pupito - spotlessly clean, wonderful, kindly hosts, good location and excellent breakfast. I would stay there again
DINING: Trinidad Jazz Cafe - Great ambience in a lovely building, attentive and friendly service, delicious food, inexpensive
I am also on Facebook @ A Wandering Widow - Solo Travel I'd love to see you there.
