The New York City Department of Environmental Protection's (NYC-DEP's) North River Water Pollution Control Plant (NRWPCP) processes raw sewage for the western half of Manhattan, from Bank Street to the northern tip of the island. On average, it treats 170 million gal. per day (gpd), with a peak of 340 million gpd during wet weather. The 28-acre facility is situated over the Hudson River, built on a reinforced concrete platform just south of the George Washington Bridge. On its roof, its architectural design incorporates Riverbank State Park, a New York recreational facility with three swimming pools, an amphitheater, an athletic center, a skating rink, a restaurant, and several sports fields. The NRWPCP is one of 14 treatment plants operating in New York City, which, together process more than 1.4 billion gal. of wastewater from homes, businesses, schools, and the streets of the city's five boroughs per day.
Processing Wastewater
Among the many steps required to convert wastewater into a safe, reusable liquid is the processing of sludge, the heavy particulate matter separated from raw sewage. Sludge from primary and secondary treatments consists primarily of water and must be further concentrated and treated before its final removal.
Thickened sludge is placed in an oxygen-free container called a digester and heated to 95F using hot water provided through on-site process boilers. This stimulates the growth of anaerobic bacteria--bacteria that thrive without oxygen--which consume the organic material in the sludge. Methane gas, produced and recovered during the digestion process, is used as fuel for certain facility operations, contributing to plant operating efficiency. After digestion, sludge is dewatered further, producing moist soil-like substances called "bio-solids," which are handled safely and recycled as sustainable and environmentally safe fertilizers and soil nutrient-enrichment products.
System Failures
The NRWPCP was experiencing a combination of failing process-system components. Original process piping used throughout the plant, which primarily was constructed with mechanically coupled joints, was significantly corroded, permitting losses of more than 10,000 gal. of process hot water per day. Besides the high energy losses caused by the process-hot-water losses, the plant routinely was forced into expensive piping-system draindowns to repair or replace corroded sections and equipment components.
Facility issues included secondary-system control failures, which contributed to uncontrolled hot-water delivery to secondary systems and a degradation of process-system water quality caused by fresh-water makeup requirements. This subsequently contributed to premature deterioration of system apparatus, transmission piping, and fatigued low-pressure process-hot-water boilers.
The NYC-DEP's partner in the NRWPCP rehabilitation project is the New York Power Authority (NYPA), which acted as the primary funding source and provided supervisory and management services during project design and construction.
The engineering/construction management firm of DMJM-Harris/AECOM, working in conjunction with the NYPA, the NYC-DEP, the mechanical construction firm of Dynamic Mechanical Contractors Inc. (DMCI), and York-Shipley Global, a division of AESYS Technologies LLC, developed a sustainable solution for providing hot water for the digester process. Initially, with input from the NYC-DEP, considerable effort was expended to identify essential system and equipment components that required rehabilitation and, more importantly, the primary causes of the variables that contributed to the system and component failures. This helped develop a design and scope-of-construction approach that would provide for an efficient, reliable, and sustainable process system.
Departing from the usual design philosophy of employing low-pressure process hot-water boilers for the digester operation, the NYPA and DMJM-Harris/AECOM altered the process configuration to incorporate low-pressure process steam (LPS) with steam-to-hot-water heat exchangers and variable-speed pumps to support the process circuit. This design was intended to permit the boilers to maintain consistent steam volume and pressure regardless of hot-water process load demand, essentially isolating the boilers from the process and ensuring satisfactory system and equipment maintenance, operation, and longevity and an efficient, useful life cycle.
Thermally Induced Stress Cycling
The original design configuration required hot-water boilers to respond directly to varying system load demands of hot-water-to-hot-water heat exchangers. The boilers' fluctuating load response not only created operating inefficiencies, but was the principle cause of premature failure. The varying uncontrolled loads subjected the low-pressure hot-water boilers, which were in service for less than 20 years, to extreme thermally induced stress on the boiler vessel, tube sheets, and firetubes, causing unanticipated and extended boiler shutdowns, adding to facility operating-, maintenance-, and repair-cost burdens and the loss of available excess capacity.
Further uncontrolled losses of process hot water, the addition of system fresh-water makeup, and the corrosive nature of fresh water exasperated issues related to oxygen corrosion of transmission-piping systems, boiler-scale formation, oxygen-corrosion pitting, service disruptions, and eventual failure of the hot-water boilers. Although required to maintain boiler water-quality standards, chemical-treatment systems and procedures were compromised, as these systems were unable to support and maintain control parameters because of the elevated losses and fresh-water makeup.
Thermally induced stress cycling is a term that describes a rapid change in boiler-metal temperature brought about by a sudden change in boiler-water temperature attributed to flow rate, entering water vs. leaving medium temperature, firing rate, or the temperature of combustion air entering a boiler.1 It is a normal phenomenon that occurs in all boilers. However, it generally is not a detrimental factor when boilers are operated under controlled cycle frequency and moderate boiler-water temperature variation.
Specifically, water-side thermally induced stress cycling is a condition that results from rapid and extreme changes in boiler-metal temperature primarily caused by reduced entering -water temperature vs. leaving medium temperature or flow rate. Constant cycling--permitting rapid water-temperature reduction in part because of post- and pre-purge air entry--serves to rapidly cool metal and water storage.
Upon demand and restart, boilers must respond rapidly to system load demand. The heat applied to a boiler naturally will cause metal to expand. Resistance to this expansion causes stress to a boiler structure. Boilers are designed to accommodate this stress gradually. However, when flow rate or internal boiler-water temperature changes rapidly, the resulting expansion and contraction "shocks" boiler metal, commonly resulting in vessel and tube-sheet cracks and firetube-attachment failures that weaken the structure.
The NRWPCP process hot-water boilers, working with hot-water-to-hot-water heat exchangers, essentially were exposed directly to the varying process-load demand. Changes in process demand caused the boilers to cycle more frequently than normally desired. As the process hot water and additional fresh-water makeup returned to the boilers, the temperature differential was greater than the design and operating capabilities, fatiguing the boilers.
Abandoning the Hot-Water Concept
The rehabilitation project incorporated three new York-Shipley Global 800-bhp and one new 200-bhp three-pass, water-backed, LPS packaged firetube boilers with Weishaupt tri-fuel (natural gas, No. 2 fuel oil, and digester gas), low-nitrogen-oxide parallel-positioning fuel burners. The boiler plant was supplemented with boiler feedwater/deaerator and condensate receiver/transfer systems, blowdown tanks, and chemical-feed systems.
DMCI installed more than 25,000 linear feet of welded 3- to 14-in. hot-water distribution piping--replacing the primary- and secondary-loop piping of the process system--along with variable-speed pumps, 40-psig digester-gas and 50-psig natural-gas pressure-reducing stations, steam-to-hot-water heat exchangers, hot-water expansion tanks, and process controls, and integrated process-variable monitoring and control into existing facility supervisory-control and data-acquisition systems. Equipment performance was pre-verified through extensive factory-acceptance tests and witnessed by representatives of the design/construction team. On-site maintenance and operational training programs were provided.
The replacement system abandoned the conventional process-hot-water concept and instead relied on an LPS-generation system as the primary source of process heat through steam-to-hot-water heat exchangers. The boilers, individually connected to a main steam-supply header, serve to produce and maintain 10 psig of LPS, regardless of varying process-hot-water-load requirements. The boilers are exposed directly to system steam pressure and maintain a "hot standby" status, ensuring elevated boiler-water temperature and reducing the advent of thermally induced stress conditions.
As process hot-water load demand increases, a programmable lead-lag control system engages the selected lead, second, third, and fourth boilers, respectively, to manage the LPS requirement. As LPS load demand decreases and with process hot-water demand satisfaction, boilers drop offline, relying only on the selected lead boiler to produce and maintain steam set-point parameters.
This arrangement permits the system to operate at peak efficiency because the boilers are not cycling off and on frequently in response to an uncontrolled varying load. Also, the arrangement minimizes exposure to extreme temperature differentials. A boiler properly operated and maintained at or near a steady-state condition will provide greater useful life, while planned periodic maintenance requirements will be less severe.
As LPS is utilized to support process steam-to-hot-water heat-exchanger demand, resulting condensate is gravity fed to a condensate receiver/transfer system. Boiler feedwater is accommodated through a feedwater/deaerator system, which maintains a 2-psig operating pressure, delivering boiler feedwater at 210 to 215F. As condensate is transferred to the feedwater/deaerator, the now-preheated condensate and subsequent elevated feedwater temperature ensures oxygen removal to prevent scale formation and corrosion. This reduces boiler-water-quality concerns, which are supplemented by a closely monitored and maintained chemical-injection system. Both the condensate-transfer and feedwater systems operate on a continual-recirculation principal with modulating feed valves to ensure that the availability of condensate transfer and boiler feedwater are proportional to the boiler evaporation rates supporting the LPS requirements.
Implementing a Control Strategy
Generally, the failure or inability to maintain a sustained control strategy will lead to an irreversible downward cycle, resulting in system shutdowns; additional operating-, maintenance-,and repair-cost burdens; and the loss of required capacity. The deteriorating conditions experienced at the NRWPCP provided the rehabilitation project's management and design team and constructors the opportunity to employ an unconventional design philosophy and provide for a system-implementation and control strategy that would alleviate future concerns and maintain and provide for the facility's intended service and purpose.
In recognition of the NRWPCP's role as a public health and safety facility, considerable redundancy in system operating capability was accommodated. The importance of the newly adopted design philosophy and its ability to provide a sustainable system and operating control strategies have furthered the facility's ability to ensure effluent sewage processing, regardless of system and component failures or the availability of control parameters.
Specifically, the boiler-control system incorporates a primary plant demand signal (PDS) generated by monitoring all of the system pressure, temperature, flow, and volume variables, which through the lead-lag control system provide an anticipatory response to process hot-water load demand. Additionally, in the event of loss of the PDS, the plant automatically will defer to a steam-pressure transducer designed to compensate for the loss and maintain the required pressure. Further, each boiler has the ability to operate in a local automatic or manual mode, should all primary operating signals be compromised.
Digester gas, a byproduct of the methane-recovery system, is utilized as the primary fuel by the tri-fuel-capable fuel-burning equipment. Natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil are available standby fuels in the event of lost or reduced digester-gas production. With emergencypower-generation capability, the NRWPCP can remain online, providing for its intended purpose under virtually any circumstance.
Project Completed
Given its scope, the project could have taken four to seven years to complete, exceeding the budget and schedule. With the uniquely managed and phased approach employed by the project team, however, there was no interruption of process service during construction. What's more, the team of owner representatives, project managers, designers, prime and sub-contractors, and equipment manufacturers completed the project within two years, six months ahead of an aggressive project schedule, and under the projected budget. The annual energy- and maintenance-cost savings have exceeded the design, construction, performance, and economic expectations and provided an energy-efficient and sustainable benefit to New York City.

But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. At the Grave, when the Corpse is laid in the Earth, the Minister shall say, MA AN that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery.

With a stable of household brands — like C9 by Champion, FILA, Gaiam, and PetWell — a new licensing agreement created millions in additional market cap for Fit for Life.
It also left their newly acquired online businesses wondering how they "were going to make up for the apparel sales that shifted in the deal."
This is how a multi-site migration from Demandware:
- Increased online conversion rates 70%
- Reduced page launches from months to days
- And now saves them over $250K each year
If you're interested in experiencing Shopify Plus for yourself …
Or, you can also download our ecommerce request for proposal (RFP) template here to assess your own platform needs and business goals.
On top of Katrina High's feet — the Director of Merchandising and Site Experience at a family of health and wellness brands — sat her beautiful boxer, Odin.
And there's little doubt he felt his owner's toes curl beneath him on the day everything changed.
"It was definitely a shock," High recalls.
Don't misunderstand. Millions in additional market cap were created in May 2016 when a management firm acquired the popular yoga brand and signed a pair of licensing agreements splitting hard goods from soft. For High, that meant the company would no longer be selling apparel.
"It's a great deal for each of the partners involved," High admits. "But the deal definitely had me wondering how we were going to make up for the apparel sales that shifted in the deal."
How do you make up all of those lost dollars … seemingly overnight?
"Whoa!" You Pay How Much for Your Ecommerce Platform?
If you've ever bought a yoga mat, fitness ball, or resistance band to exercise with, you've likely purchased from one of Fit for Life's brands:
Gaiam, in particular, has a distribution network that includes 38,000 retail doors, 18,000 stores within stores, and 5,000 category management locations. The products are carried in well-known retailers like Target, Macy's, Kohl's, and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
"We're everywhere," High says.
After the acquisition was announced, Fit For Life — the deal partner now in charge of managing the hard goods for High's brands — made a startling discovery.
They took one look at our invoice and saw what we were spending on ecommerce and went: 'Whoa.'
Several hundred thousand dollars a year is what SPRI and Gaiam were spending on Demandware.
On top of that, the organization also spent big on an in-house team of five developers to maintain their family of sites. Following the acquisition, the development team was cut and High looked to outsource site adjustments and experiments at $125-$200 an hour.
As High explains:
It took forever to get anything done with Demandware. The last time I requested a landing page, it took four months.
Once a catalog-driven business, High had spent several years building the group's online presence and ensuring its full assortment of products were online. The incremental sales her efforts earned were noticed and she added a digital marketing manager as well as an influencer marketing manager.
"We had finally caught up online," High says. "Now we wanted to lead."
But that simply wasn't possible with Demandware.
Losing apparel sales following the acquisition meant High and her team would have to be able to move much more quickly and cost-effectively than before.
To make up the lost sales, they'd need the ability to rapidly experiment and introduce new offerings.
"I had so many ideas I just couldn't do on Demandware because it was too expensive and took too much time," High says. "It was painful."
The sales hole looked as if it might swallow High and her team …
One Day, Not Four Months, After Migrating
Even though she was spending hundreds of thousands a year with Demandware, High says the company's customer service was nearly non-existent.
"I'd email and never hear back," she says. "I felt all alone in a tech-heavy environment."
Combined with the cost and development resources necessary to maintain the sites, High and her team migrated to Shopify Plus.
The move to Shopify Plus added up to over $250,000 in savings a year.
In addition to replatforming, the company also swapped out its OMS and ERP as well as moved to a new warehouse. All that — including the launch of its new family of sites with agency partner BlueSwitch — in the time it used to take them to create a landing page.
In High's words:
"Shopify Plus is tried and true. The platform is a proven performer. It's so nice being able to trust that when you flip the switch nothing is going to break.
"Shopify Plus has been a huge part of our growth."
With Shopify Plus and the Shogun application, High says she and her team can build a custom landing page by themselves in one day.
"It's nice to make changes quickly," High says. "We now have a sense of freedom and ownership we just didn't have on Demandware."
Regarding the assortment shift following the acquisition, High says she and her team used Plus and its ecosystem to backfill in three ways:
1. Visually Navigated Landing Pages
Instead of landing on a page with standard product image tiles similar to competitor sites, Gaiam offers users a unique experience with its visual navigation. For example, users landing on the company's yoga page are treated to a rich visual representation of each category:
Including design, Gaiam's visual navigation was created in just two weeks and implemented in June of 2017. Since then …
Gaiam reports a 70% increase in conversion rates resulting in significant sales lifts.
- Revenue for its Yoga Category has increased 6%
- Revenue for its Active Sitting Category has increased 16%
"Those are incremental sales and we're thrilled with the performance," High says. "The visual navigation allows us to use the deep library of content we have to lift sales."
2. Wholesale Growth
SPRI has always been a wholesale based business.
But with more than 15,000 accounts, many of them large like Hilton Hotels, the process had become unmanageable as it required an entire team to manually take and enter wholesale orders.
That's why the Plus wholesale ecommerce channel — which allows merchants to use their existing stores to offer high-volume buyers a self-service storefront — has freed SPRI to be proactive in its marketing and begin selling more.
Similarly, the wholesale channel has positioned Gaiam to better target mom-and-pop wholesale customers and provide promotional content, like marketing signage that these customers can erect in their gyms and yoga studios to increase sales.
Since launching wholesale on Shopify Plus …
- SPRI account sign-ups have increased 6%, with wholesale now accounting for 47% of the brand's total ecommerce sales
- Gaiam account sign-ups have increased 22%, with wholesale now accounting for 18% of the brand's total ecommerce sales
"Wholesale is a big focus for us," High says. "We see a real opportunity for growth and the channel is lifting our average order value."
3. New Brands
When High's boxer Odin sneaks out and heads for the product development department, he does so for good reason.
Fit for Life is developing new sub-brands like PetWell, a revolutionary and veterinarian-recommended line of pet massage tools. Turns out Odin had been sneaking out of High's office to act as a guinea pig as the development team worked to perfect the five-SKU line of massagers.
He loves getting massages," High says with a laugh. "It's really the only reason he wants to come to work with me.
Expect Fit for Life to introduce additional new sub-brands now that it can quickly and cost-effectively adjust and add to its site.
Even more important, the new brands, wholesale success, and visual navigation that improved conversion rates combined to ameliorate the massive sales shift following the acquisition.
"We lost apparel which was a big part of our business but sales didn't dip," High says proudly. "We backfilled the hole with the money we saved replatforming and poured it into new initiatives. It's an achievement we are extremely proud of."
Making Brick & Mortar Better
That 70% lift in conversions that the visual navigation yielded …
It's not just a revenue lift for Gaiam but also potentially lucrative for the brand's retail partners like Target.
Each quarter High audits its brick-and-mortar retailers, hands out report cards, and offers training sessions aimed at helping partners optimize their ecommerce channels to increase sales:
- Ensure each product has variant SKUs, rather than separate SKUs, so its sales history and product reviews are attached and move it up the page
- Ensure each attribute is placed in the right category — all yoga mats are included in the yoga mat category rather than fitness mat category— to improve the customer search experience
"They are begging us for data," High says. "We take what we've learned and offer it to our partners which is obviously good for us but it also helps them make incremental sales."
Beyond Demandware and On the Lookout for a New Guinea Pig
Expect High and her team to play an even larger role in helping retailers lift sales as Fit For Life introduces additional new brands, acquires the rights to manage other well-known brands, and expands Gaiam's dominance in active sitting by bringing ergonomic products into the workplace.
It's a future undoubtedly full of challenge, but one High approaches with confidence after working hard to backfill that enormous gap in sales.
However, with product development now focused on newer initiatives and expanding its line of pet massagers, the team will likely have to find a new guinea pig.
"Odin has already had his massage today so he's completely asleep," High says. "He has his own bed here and sleeps on one of the meditation cushions we sell."

No doubt you are aware of the story surrounding Rep. Anthony Weiner's tweeted photo of himself in his undershorts, which was sent to a young woman in Seattle but published, apparently inadvertently, on Weiner's public Twitter stream. Or maybe the photo wasn't of Weiner; he says his Twitter account was hacked. I haven't seen the photo, but it is described as "lewd." A great deal of energy has been expended analyzing Weiner's Twitter stream and debating the feasibility of hacking his account. For the details, you can go here or here.
I am not an expert on hacking, or even on Twitter, as those who follow my Twitter stream can attest. So I offer no opinion on what happened, but only two observations.
First, the episode must be investigated by law enforcement. Hacking into politicians' accounts of various sorts is a criminal offense that could have serious consequences. There is precedent for the sort of thing Weiner is talking about: during the 2008 presidential campaign, a young man in Tennessee hacked into Sarah Palin's personal email account. He was identified, criminally prosecuted and convicted by a jury in 2010. He was sentenced to a year in federal prison.
If Weiner's Twitter account was in fact hacked, the perpetrator needs to be identified, prosecuted and sent to jail. If there is no investigation, we will know that Weiner is lying.
Second, there is presumably one person who knows whether the photo is of Weiner, namely, his wife. If the photo is of Weiner, he is in a hole deeper than any that can be dug by the press, or even the police.
UPDATE: IowaHawk is taking up a chip to "bring the Weiner hacker to justice."
The Weinergate facts, as we so far know them: on May 28, @RepWeiner, the verified Twitter account of US Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), posted a tweet of a y.frog photo of a slightly-built white male straining to pitch a pup tent in a pair of grey Hanes Underoos. Within seconds, Congressman Weiner arrived at the scene of the cybercrime and instantly recognized it as the work of a hacker who had simultaneously broken into his Twitter, Facebook and y.frog accounts. Working quickly, and without regard to his own safety, Congressman Weiner used his elite law school-honed internet security coding skills to wrest back control of his accounts, delete the offending tweet and photo, as well as unfollow a Seattle coed to whom it was sent. His Twitter perimeter once again secured, the intrepid Congressmen sent out a new tweet explaining how he was victimized by an Internet criminal mastermind.
Since the incident, the famously modest Congressman Weiner had remained demure on how he single-handedly thwarted his anonymous attacker, and how the attacker managed to possibly steal his Blackberry camera phone. And, for whatever reason, has thusfar also chosen not to involve the law enforcement authorities.
As much as I admire Congressman Weiner's Gandhi-like forgiving attitude toward his assailant – as well as his world class ninja programming skills – I'm afraid this incident doesn't just involve him. For, after all, what Internet user is safe when the person who hacked this unsuspecting Weiner remains at large? …
I say no – we cannot as an online community let this tragic crime go unpunished. That it why I am announcing the Weiner Hacker Prize Fund to award a generous bounty for information leading to the arrest, prosecution and conviction of Pubic Enemy #1 – the pervert who stole Congressman Weiner's underpants identity. To get things rolling, I will seed it with $1000 of my own personal 2010 federal tax refund.

Tarpon Springs Gas Delivery
So you ran out of gas? Don't worry; it happens to the best of us. Ack Towing and Transportation FL is here so that the motorists of Tarpon Springs can get back on the road. With one phone call we will come to your rescue; day or night.
What to do if my car runs out of gas?
Besides giving Ack Towing and Transportation FL a call so that we can come help you, the most important thing to do is to steer your car to the side of the road. Even if you are in a school zone or other areas where drives must be extra cautious, leaving your car in the middle of the road is just asking for an accident. If your car stopped in the middle of the road then make sure the break is off, it is in neutral and try to push the car to the side. If for some reason, you are unable to push the vehicle then do what you can to make your trouble evident to other motorists (i.e. flairs, hazard lights). If you are in the city and there is no shoulder then push your car to a side street which has less traffic.
Why did I run out of gas so fast?
If you run out of gas but feel certain that it ran out faster than it should of then there may be a problem with your vehicle. One possibility is that the car is leaking gas leading the gas tank to empty faster. If you are getting the smell of gas inside or around your car then this could be a possibility. It could also be an issue with your spark plugs which affects the correct firing of you cylinders and thus wasting gas. If this is happening then it is often the case that white smoke will come from your engine.

Leather upholstery in your living room provides comfort and style and evokes a sense of status. Leather furniture has a reputation for being extremely durable and long-lasting, so it may be a long-term investment in your house. Despite how many times you vacuum it, it will eventually deteriorate owing to continuous use and dirt build-up. As a result, it's critical that you seek professional leather couch cleaning Wombarra service on a regular basis.
Couch upkeep is simple and easy when you have professionals on your side like Regency Upholstery Cleaning. We provide the best leather upholstery cleaning services, Wombarra businesses and homeowners can rely on. Regardless of your cleaning requirements, we are dedicated to delivering 100% guaranteed results, ensuring that your lovely leather upholstery is refreshed and looks as good as new.
Let us take a look at some great benefits of professional upholstery cleaning services in Wombarra :
Leather upholstery gives a classy touch to your house or workspace. However, to maintain the elegance of your space and the charm of your leather couch, it becomes extremely crucial to invest in professional leather upholstery cleaning Wombarra services, as timely professional upkeep is key to preserving the integrity of your leather furniture for years to come. With this being clear, it now becomes a challenge as to how you can choose the right leather upholstery cleaners in Randwick. To make it easy for you, we have compiled a list of factors that will help you determine how to hire the best company:
Work Experience: When considering the professional leather upholstery cleaning Wombarra company, it's imperative that you properly ask the company about the years of industry experience it has to help you gauge its level of professionalism and reliability. The longer a service provider has been in business, the more likely they have a premium level of service.
Methods Used: Another important factor is to know about what kind of cleaning methods the company uses. A reliable company will use tailored solutions to deep clean your upholstered furniture. Also, the right upholstery cleaning specialist uses safe and eco-friendly methods to prevent any adverse effects.
Always Check Reviews: In the digital age, customer reviews are vital in assessing a service provider. If you can't find any customer reviews for a company, they might be new or purposely hiding negative feedback. Genuine and reputable companies heavily rely on positive reviews to attract and retain customers. Furthermore, searching the company's name online can help you find evaluations. Trustworthy upholstery cleaning services usually make their customer reviews and ratings readily available.
While these methods are effective for deep leather upholstery cleaning, Wombarra property owners should rely on professional cleaners if they lack experience or are unsure about the appropriate products to use. Professionals have the expertise and knowledge to effectively clean all types of leather furniture.
At Regency Upholstery Cleaning, we strive to provide our customers with complete satisfaction. Therefore, we use a gentle yet effective cleaning process to deep clean your leather furniture. Our process includes:

Gentle Leather Furniture Cleaning: Our skilled Wombarra leather couch cleaning professionals then use a gentle yet effective leather upholstery cleaner to properly clean all surfaces by hand. If necessary, we also apply an effective and safe stain-removal solution during the leather couch cleaning process.
Cleaning and Drying: We use a damp towel or microfiber cloth to wipe away all dirt and remnants of the cleaning solution. It's vital to note that when it comes to cleaning leather upholstery, it is best to avoid the steam cleaning method as it can cause over-wetting and potential damage to the leather.
Leather Conditioning: After your leather couch is deep cleaned, we will use an industry-approved moisturiser or conditioner to revitalise your leather couch and restore it to its elegant and soft condition.
Post-Assessment- This is the final step of our leather upholstery cleaning process. Once the cleaning is complete, our trained specialists will conduct a final assessment of your leather furniture to ensure that all the stains and debris are removed and there is no room for further issues.
Taking good care of your leather furniture is vital to ensure its durability and maintain its elegant appearance for a long time. By following a few simple steps, such as regular vacuuming, cleaning, addressing stains at the earliest, avoiding hard cleaning agents, using mild soap for regular cleaning, and investing in timely professional upholstery leather cleaning services in Wombarra is the best way to protect and maintain your leather furniture and sustain its longevity for years to come.

Our trip to Yellowstone was AMAZING! I never thought I would have such a great time freezing my butt off each night sleeping in a tent, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, and having to pack all our food in and out after each meal because of bears. Seriously though, our 6 days we spent at Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park were some of the most fun we've had as a family.
Maybe it is because we had tons of time as a family to just be. To relax, to unwind, to unplug, to explore, to adventure. There is no cell service or no internet service so you have to unplug. Some of our most favorite memories of the trip are spontaneous things we just happened upon, like walking down to lake Yellowstone and letting the kids run and play on the beach while Nate and I relaxed or our day trip to Bozeman, Montana to explore because none of us had ever been to Montana and Nate and I had heard Bozeman was a neat town to explore.
Another favorite part of this trip was the cost. Our week long vacation ended up costing us under $600 for a family of five which is amazing. Just for comparison, I think our week long vacation to Disneyland cost $3000. If we didn't eat at restaurants the three times we splurged the cost would've been closer to $400 (eating out with 5 people is expensive). I think we'll be taking more vacations where we can drive to the location and camp.
There was so much to see and I took so many pictures, but here are my favorites. Remember, I don't have a fancy camera, just a cheap $100 point and shoot and I do minimal editing with Picasa. Yellowstone has such amazing scenery you don't need anything fancy.
My first time using a pay phone in about 12 years, how retro!
Dragon's Mouth

Beautiful wildflowers on the northern part of the park
That's a baby black bear halfway up the tree in the middle. We were so lucky to see a mama black bear and two cubs from a relatively close distance.
Mammoth hot springs. Looks like the surface of another planet.
Elk just hanging out in the developed part of Mammoth hot springs
During our side trip to Bozeman we had to get a shot of the welcome sign
The famous Roosevelt arch that marks the north entrance to the park and reads, "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People".
The park is huge so there is lots of driving between spots but there is always amazing scenery to look at.
The kids and I at the famous Old Faithful Geyser.
Grand Prismatic Springs
Another view of Grand Prismatic Springs
The kids at the springs
After our last day exploring the park we stop at a road side parking lot for a quick walk and amazing view of these waterfalls.
Yellowstone was an amazing trip and something I recommend everyone visit at least once in their lifetime, we'll definitely be back. The pictures on my camera from Yellowstone lake were amazing. If you can spend an hour there just sitting on the beach, soaking in your surroundings I highly recommend it. Also the pictures of the pictures of Old Faithful Inn did not do it justice. It is an amazing historic hotel, built of all logs with a grand lobby that it worth some time to explore even if you are not staying there. We also got yummy coffee from the coffee bar and sat on the covered 2nd story deck for a 2nd viewing of Old Faithful. Man, I love family vacations!

Catastrophic flooding in Houston from Hurricane Harvey is the latest reminder that floods kill more people in the United States than any other type of natural disaster and are the most common natural disaster worldwide. Many communities along U.S. coastlines have begun to take heed and have slowed development in coastal flood zones. The bad news, as Harvey shows, is that inland communities are also at risk – and in some, development in flood zones is increasing.
With post-doctoral research associate Yi Qiang and graduate students, I recently studied development patterns in the United States from 2001 to 2011. We found that while new urban development in flood zones near coasts has generally declined, it has grown in inland counties. This is a worrisome trend. It implies that people who have experienced flooding on the coast migrate inland, but may not realize that they are still vulnerable if they relocate to an inland flood zone.
That's what we have seen firsthand here in Louisiana. Thousands of people fled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and settled 80 miles inland in Baton Rouge. A decade later, many of these same people lost everything again when a 500-year flood event struck Baton Rouge in August 2016.
Climate change effects, such as sea level rise and potentially more extreme weather, are increasing the risk of flooding, hurricanes and storm surges in coastal areas. Some communities are considering moving coastal populations inland to protect them. However, our research shows that people should be very careful about moving inland. They can still face flood hazards if their property is located in a high-risk flood zone.
Not just a coastal issue
Flooding can happen wherever large rainstorms stall over an area, as we have seen in Boulder, Colorado in 2013; in Texas and Louisiana in 2016; and over Houston now. However, if communities take steps to reduce flood risk, they can mitigate the danger to people and property.
When we assess flood risk in a given location, we consider three questions.
- Hazard: How likely is a flood event?
- Exposure: How many people and physical assets are located there?
- Vulnerability: Do people have the capacity to deal with the event?
Flood risk is the product of these three elements.
We can decrease flood risk by reducing any of the three elements. For example, communities can reduce hazard by building flood control structures, such as dams and levees. They can use laws and policies, such as land use controls, to reduce exposure by steering housing development away from flood zones. And they can make people and property less vulnerable through other measures, such as elevating houses and developing better flood warning systems and emergency preparedness plans.
How can people learn about flood risks where they live? The Federal Emergency Management Agency has created flood zone maps for most parts of the United States. The maps are based on models that consider factors such as elevation, average rainfall and whether a location is near a river or lake that could overflow.
FEMA maps classify flood zones into three categories: high-risk, moderate-low risk and undetermined. High-risk zones have at least a 1 percent chance of being inundated by flood in any given year. These areas are also called base flood or 100-year flood zones.
To obtain a federally insured mortgage on property in a 100-year flood zone, buyers are required to have flood insurance. This policy is designed to make people less vulnerable in the event of a flood, but it increases the cost of home ownership. As a result, flood zone designations can be very contentious.
Moving into harm's way
We undertook this study because we wanted to develop a clear baseline showing how Americans' exposure to flood hazards has changed over the past decade. To assess levels of exposure to flood hazards nationwide, we compiled urban development, flood zone and census data and overlaid them on a county map of the nation.
Overall, we estimated that as of 2011, more than 25 million Americans lived in flood zones. We also found that inland communities were less responsive to flood hazards than coastal communities and were doing a poorer job of steering development out of flood-prone areas.
The three U.S. counties with the largest concentrations of people living in flood zones are located on the Gulf of Mexico. They are Cameron Parish, Louisiana (population 6,401, with 93.6 percent in flood zones); Monroe County, Florida (population 66,804, with 91.4 percent in flood zones); and Galveston County, Texas (population 241,204, with 82.8 percent in flood zones).
These are all coastal communities, where flood risks should be well-known to all residents. But we also found inland counties where the share of the total population living in flood zones increased over the decade we examined. A number of those with the largest increases are bordered by rivers, such as Marshall County in western Kentucky, which sits between Kentucky Lake and the Ohio River. We also identified several hot spots where urban development has increased in coastal flood zones, including New York City and Miami.
Reducing exposure now
This alarming trend points to a need for more awareness, education and communication about flood risk, especially in inland counties. More affordable housing in nonflood zones and strategies to mitigate floods are also needed, especially inland.
Why would people move to inland flood zone areas? Some may be unaware of the risk. Others may plan to adapt through steps such as elevating their houses or buying flood insurance. Still other may accept the risk because they want to be closer to relatives or workplaces, or for other cultural, political or institutional reasons.
Our analysis has pinpointed a number of regions of concern. The next step is to produce in-depth analyses of these regions, in order to understand why people are locating in flood zones there, and to devise local strategies to reduce overall U.S. flood risks. Climate change, land subsidence or sinking, and construction of new levees and dams will change long-term flood exposure in these areas over time. Therefore, local governments, mortgage lenders and homeowners should review current FEMA flood hazard maps for accuracy.
This research provides national context for a detailed study that we are carrying out examining resilience and sustainability in the Mississippi River Delta. Our goal is to understand how human actions combined with natural environmental conditions may have caused land to sink in the Mississippi Delta. Our research on development in flood zones reminds us that flooding problems in low-lying coastal regions are not unique and also affect areas well away from the shore.
