Are You Shopping for Bed Linen? Here Are a Few Tips.
by: Shelly Livengood
What is foremost important to you when you shop for bed linen? Is it color? Is it the fabric
design? Is it what it is made from? Is it quality and durability? Is it price? Here are a couple
tips to help you decide how to shop for what best fits your specific wants and needs.
Bed linen is the essential part of the bed that nobody sees until it's time to crawl under the
covers and go to sleep at nigh. It includes sheets, pillow cases, and anything else that goes
under the covers. It's basically a covering over the pillows and mattress in order to protect
them and keep them clean and comfy.
What is foremost important to you as you shop for bed linen? If you want something that
coordinates with your bedroom, you can easily find a large variety of every imaginable color,
in solids as well as prints. If you're main interest is the material, you will find polyester, bamboo,
linen, cotton, silk and Egyptian cotton. Egyptian cotton was traditionally harvested in Egypt but
is now grown other places as well. Egyptian cotton uses longer threads and that's what sets it
apart from other cotton fabrics. Longer threads results in higher quality and stronger durability.
Different weaves in a fabric like a stripe or plaid bring still more variety and there are some that
have a special enhanced weave that results in a more durable material.

When you're shopping for bed linen, you will notice there are different thread counts. The
thread count is the number of threads woven both lengthwise and width wise in a one inch
square. Thread counts generally range from 200 to 1800. You may think that the higher the
thread count, the better the product; sometimes this is the case, other times it is not.
There is something more to keep in mind. A thinner and finer yarn size will give you a higher
thread count. This results in a softer, more comfortable product and a tighter weave but may
not necessarily be as durable. Yet another factor to consider is how many threads are
twisted together to make a single strand of thread. Two ply translates into two strands, three
ply would be three. So a three ply, 300 thread count would be a thicker and likely a more
durable fabric than a higher one ply count. A higher one ply count would be a thinner and
softer fabric by comparison.
So the quality of your bed linen fabric depends on a few factors
• The quality of the fiber
• The length of the yarn
• The thread count
• The ply
• The finish
• How it is constructed
And really this can be overwhelming if you're looking for a high quality, low cost product.
You will be able to see from the manufacture's listing the fabric features to help you
determine more easily what best fits your specific wants and needs. If you have children,
your main concern could be a wrinkle resistant or stain resistant bed linen. This is normally
a general characteristic of a polyester or microfiber fabric. If you are leaning toward longer
life and a more durable product, then your Egyptian cotton with multiple ply yarn may be
your best solution. Maybe you just want pretty and aren't concerned with either. There you
have a multitude of choices. You are the one who decides which characteristic best fits your
needs. I hope this sheds a little light on your shopping experience. It at least gives you a little
insight to help you intelligently understand the fabric differences. So enjoy shopping!

This season’s questions to ask yourself, as a business owner.
By: John Cox
Handling your business right has everything to do with the management of
finances and using the right resources. QuickBooks Remote Desktop Services is the
most popular tool to keep track of financial holdings and manage the cash flow of
your business.
Have you written your Business Goals?
When you write down your business or financial goals, you take a substantial step towards
taking control of your company’s growth. When you have an idea of the direction you want
your business to take, and when you keep that in writing, it serves as a reminder when you get
too busy in the daily tasks of your business. Everyday work can be overwhelming, and
managing them may make you lose sight of your long-term planning. Thus, writing down
business goals is essential.
Also, as a business owner, if you are not clear on your goals, how can you expect your
employees to understand the same? Written goals provide a way to tie company’s growth to
employee performance.
12

What are your Priorities in Life, as a Business Owner?
In this competitive market, being a business owner means putting your work ahead of
yourself almost every time. Running a business efficiently leaves very little room for you to hit
your targets in personal life. Work, family, health and community are important metrics that
constitute your life.
If you are giving more priority to your work than your family or health, it might affect your work
at a later stage. Your business can only thrive when you are happy and satisfied. Thus,
restructure your priority chart and ensure that looking after yourself and your family are at an
equal priority with your work.
When all aspects of your life fit into place, which can be called ‘living the dream’. To get that
circle of a comfortable life rolling, maintaining a balance is key. It has been a few months into
this year, it is time to evaluate your growth and create a strategy for the changes you need to
make for this and coming years. Once you attain that balance, it will be a smooth ride. But do
not forget to predict hiccups; interruptions and risks are a part of a business which can be
handled efficiently with the right tools.
Handling your business right has everything to do with the management of finances and
using the right resources. QuickBooks Remote Desktop Services is the most popular tool to
keep track of financial holdings and manage the cash flow of your business. Cloud Hosted
QuickBooks provides an ultimate platform for working simultaneously in real-time, from
anywhere in the world.

NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature
the original work of Howard Harris.ART
Howard Harris:
Shifts in Perception

Part photography and part sculpture, the remarkable work of American
artist Howard Harris is nearly impossible to classify. Harris has said that
his aim is to "combine technology and aesthetics in a way that expands
the viewer's experience of photographic art." His unique way of
image-making begins with a digital photograph. It is abstracted in some
way - perhaps the colors are enhanced subtly, or the entire composition
is skewed more overtly. Often the photograph is multiplied and layered
onto itself, separated by sheets of clear acrylic.
ART

The resulting piece has unexpected depth and movement - the eye dances. Harris has truly
found a way to make photography surprising again. The images he chooses to bring to life
in this singular way vary greatly. His camera captures animals, architecture, landscapes, and
portraiture. No matter what the subject matter, each image is depicted centrally, almost
monumentally. Backgrounds and even shadows are stripped away.
Harris was born in Denver, Colorado and today maintains his own home studio in Denver.
He has exhibited extensively all around the United States.

HEALTH
Sugary foods sure do taste good, but the only good they are doing is electrifying
your taste buds. The ugly truth about sugar is it causes weight gain, high cholesterol
levels, cardiovascular disease and even affects your mental awareness. Even worse,
sugar is a big factor when it comes to tooth decay and periodontal disease. We're
marking up sugar to be the bad guy, because it is!
Of course, you cannot cut sugar completely out of your life. It exists in plenty of processed
foods, not just in candy and sodas. You'd have to go cold-turkey on a lot of your favorites,
including cereals, saucy foods, potato chips and especially ice cream. Even healthier options
like apples and citrus fruits have a high sugar concentration. Sugar is bountiful in our diets, but
if you cut down the sugar intake, your oral and overall health will both see a huge difference!
How to Cut Back on Sugar
Cutting down on sugar is pretty easy if you think about it. You control what type of foods and drinks
go into your mouth after all. So, let's take a look at some of the most common sugar fiends that
exist.
Let's start with sodas! Sodas make the most sense. Let's look at their sugar concentration. In a
regular 12oz. can, most sodas have anywhere between 30-50g of sugar. That's a lot! Cutting out
sodas completely may cause you to go through withdrawal symptoms including anxiety, so
medical experts believe a greater alternative is to start cutting your soda intake by half in
moderation until soda is no longer something you're drinking on a needless basis.
What's wrong with sport drinks? Unless you're an active athlete, you don't need to be drinking
sport drinks day in and day out. While they may have a high number of electrolytes, it also has
plenty of sugar. Sport drinks are meant to get athletes through their sport, and you'll often see
them drink plenty of water too. If you have a sport drink regularly without combining it with
physical activity, it could lead to weight gain and sensitive teeth.
Say goodbye to processed foods! Amongst the many things in your diet, cookies, cakes, pastries
and breakfast cereals are notorious for their high sugar concentration. For better or worse, the only
benefits these foods provide is a sugar rush that'll have you craving sugar throughout the rest of
the day. There's plenty of other options you can try instead that're just as fulfilling, including oat
foods, unsalted raw nuts and fruit-based snacks.
17

Throw away the candies and sweets! One thing that we've grown accustomed to is a limitless
supply of candy. Candy tastes good, and we keep plenty of it near us for satisfying our taste
buds. That's terrible! If you're a candy lover, not only are you exposing your teeth to dangerous
sugar amounts, but you're ruining your sense of taste! Start cutting back on the amount of
candies you eat and focus more on fresh fruits, sugar-free gum and even dark chocolate.
Ways Your Teeth Benefit from Less Sugar Consumption
Our teeth are very important to us and cutting down on sugar is perhaps one of the greatest
things we can do for them. When you consume sugar, the millions of bacteria in your mouth
feed on it, breaking it down into an acid that eats at our teeth. As a result, it can cause tooth
decay. The funny part is, sipping from a 12oz. can is worse than chugging down a 2-liter bottle
as you're exposing your teeth to sugar longer, letting bacteria do its finest work inside your
mouth.
So, by cutting down on sugar you can stop tooth decay! Other things that can help prevent
tooth decay alongside cutting down your sugar consumption is chewing sugar-free gum to
promote salivation, brushing your teeth before breakfast and after dinner, and flossing to clean
the other half of your teeth a toothbrush can't reach.
Sugary foods also cause teeth discoloration. It's embarrassing to have yellow or brown teeth,
especially since your smile is the biggest first impression you can make with anyone, beating
out other factors such as body language, appearance and quality of speech. Teeth staining is
largely due to sugary drinks, coffee and tea. Moreover, soft drinks also cause cavities, which can
turn your teeth black. By cutting down sugar in your diet, you can stop your teeth from turning
into weird colors.
Your significant other will love this too! If you cut down on sugar, you'll have better breath! All
those acids that are a result of sugar consumption actually smell, and it's easy to tell. To see just
how bad your breath smells after drinking a soda, wait 30 minutes and lick the palm of your
hand, then smell it. You'll definitely notice a difference!
Lastly, you'll feel a difference in your oral health. Your teeth will feel healthier, stronger and not
as sensitive, it'll feel like weight has been lifted off of your teeth.
As a final note, you don't have to cut our sugar completely, just consume less sugar than you
have been. Sugar itself is everywhere and is near impossible to avoid. However, so long as you
take the initiative to eat and drink less sugary foods you should be just fine. This also includes
that you brush your teeth, floss, use mouthwash and visit the dentist on a bi-annual basis to get
your cleanings done.

Travel

Abisko is among the top destinations for several northern lights journeys, undoubtedly. The
village, indigenous to the Saami individuals in north Sweden, presents breathtaking sights
of the Aurora Borealis on nearly every given night.
Why is Abisko so excellent for viewing the Aurora Borealis?
You can find three primary reasons that combine to provide this northern village in Sweden
unparalleled regular views of Earth's most amazing natural phenomenon. The foremost is
its geographic place. Abisko lies 250 kilometers in the Arctic Circle, an area on the globe
properly within the oval area of the Aurora Borealis. Being so near to the magnetic poles of
the planet earth generates even more solar winds that induce the incredible lightshow
worth all northern lights journeys.
A happy mix of geography with meteorology can be an additional increase for aurora
spotting in Abisko. The gulf-stream that draws in tepid drinking water up from the
Norwegian Coastline creates a far more moderate environment and much less fog than
several coastal areas south of Abisko. A moderate lack and environment of fog are
advantageous to very clear visibility conditions.
21

The 3rd reason Abisko may be the destination for several northern lights
journeys is it’s insufficient precipitation. The village can be found next to
higher mountains that block it from the elements to arrive off the
Norwegian Coastline. Precipitation to arrive from the North Ocean
eventually ends up releasing its snowfall west of Abisko, causing the
remote control locale with much less snowfall than other areas in your
community significantly.
There are numerous ways to stay busy during any northern lights trips to
Abisko. Beyond looking at the enthralling sky, guests enjoy doggie
sledding tours and snowmobile tours, although these ought to be booked
in advance because they can offer out quickly. The even more adventurous
kind can ice climb up frozen waterfalls within an arctic canyon, or ice
angling on the wondrous Torneträsk Lake. Just an hour's ride away is
Norway as well, where guests can go start to see the country's marvellous
fjords. In general, Abisko may be the premier location to witness the
wonder of the Aurora Borealis, as well as benefit from the local activities
and hospitality of northern Scandinavia.

5 Tips to Help Baby
Transition from Crib to
Toddler Bed
by: Ryan McGee
Family
The move from crib to toddler bed is a groundbreaking event. Your kid isn't a
baby any longer. They have gone into toddlerhood and are prepared to be a
g0rown child. There's no set time for making the move to a toddler bed, yet most
youngsters do make the move at some point between the year and a half and
three and a half years old.
Choosing to move a child from a crib to a toddler bed can be a troublesome and
enthusiastic time for guardians. From the physical coordination to ensuring child (and
mother and father!) are prepared and in agreement about security worries, there is a great
deal to consider. In any case, never fear - we're here to enable you to explore this
landscape.
Despite the fact that there is no particular prescribed age for when to move the infant
to a toddler bed, the normal age is anyplace between 1½ years of age to 3½ years of
age. In a perfect world, it is best to look for indications of infant's status and time the
move in conjunction with those signs. Read on for tips to help make this procedure as
smooth, quiet, and effective as could be expected under the circumstances.
24

5 hints to enable child to move from crib to toddler bed
Focus on timing.
Make an effort not to have the enormous move concur with other (possibly overwhelming) real life
occasions, for example, the introduction of another sibling. Poor timing can be overpowering and
unpleasant for everybody.
Make selecting the new bedding an occasion.
Plan an uncommon shopping trip (physical or virtual) with your toddler to have his or her assistance
choose their new bedding. Search for bedding that your infant identifies with - whether it’s their
most loved hues, creatures, or characters.
Security first!
Consider inside rails, night lights, and security entryways as required. The freshly discovered
flexibility of a toddler or huge child bed implies that your little one will be able to wander, even after
you're in bed. Ensure that you have frameworks set up to keep him or her protected and secure.
Stick to your usual routine.
Because you're changing the resting space doesn't mean you have to change the sleeping routine.
Truth be told, this move will be best in the event that you stay with a similar bedtime routine you've
generally utilized. Your little one will recognize what's in store and won't have the twofold fervor of
another bed and another calendar in the meantime.
One other thing to remember is that this procedure requires extraordinary persistence. Be ready
for your kid to continually fly out of bed for a drink of water, a cuddle, or some other escape-from-my-room
pardon. Placidly and quietly restore your toddler to bed as many times as it
takes. Keep it as exhausting as could reasonably be expected and they’ll get the thought. Keep in
mind, the signs you send to your youngster are as vital to this procedure as the ones he or she
sends to you.

IT Managed Services vs IT
Consulting Services: Know
the Difference
by:Elise Lowry
IT Managed services and IT consulting services are both information
technology services and the firms that provide one of them, often also
provide the other one. While both have similar benefits to offer to
organizations, there’s a difference in the scope of these services. This article
takes a look at both of them to understand the differences.
Information technology (IT) is big today and enterprises from every domain have adopted
information technology in order to streamline their business operations and increase
productivity and efficiency. Some of the biggest IT companies today provide an entire range
of services to cater to the varied requirements of the enterprises and their distinct business
goals and objectives. So, you have IT consulting, managed support services, managed IT
services, software development services, and so on. Here let us look at two of these services –
IT Managed services and IT Consulting services – to understand their differences.
What is IT Managed Services?
IT Managed Services refer to proactive outsourcing of one or more aspects of a company’s IT
infrastructure support and management to a managed service provider. The service provider
is an Information Technology firm with a team of domain experts and is referred to as
Managed Service Providers (MSP). In this model, the enterprise that seeks the services (the
client) holds complete ownership of the IT infrastructure being outsourced while the liability
of the provider only extends up to providing the managed services. There is a contract or
agreement signed by both parties that defines the criteria and metrics to be adhered to.
While most big IT companies have an in-house team that looks into the management of IT infrastructure,
small and medium businesses, including startups, cannot afford to have a team
of experts working for them. This makes it difficult for them to keep up with the latest
technology updates and security threats. Often non-IT professionals in the firm are forced to
research on management of IT infrastructure, which takes up time and drives the focus away

from other aspects of business operations.
Common Examples:
• Systems Management
• Backup & Recovery of Data
• Data storage & Management
• Management and Monitoring of Network Security
• Human Resource Management
• Production, Support and Maintenance of Software
•
What is IT Consulting Services?
IT Consulting Services refer to the practice of companies seeking the advice of domain experts
on different fields of information technology in order to gain insights on making the best use of
information technology to achieve their business goals and objectives. It is also called
technology consulting and IT advisory, and basically involves an experts offering advisory or
consultancy services to an organization (the client). The IT consulting industry involves three
major types of consultancy providers – IT companies and firms, staffing firms, and independent
consultants.
With the introduction of new concepts in technology, such as the Cloud, mobility and Big Data
changing the business scenario, businesses have to constantly evolve their strategies in order to
stay competitive. However, having an in-house team to strategize on the IT-based work and
operations is not viable option for many small and medium businesses, primarily because of the
costs involved and also the obvious lack of expertise and domain experts.
A client organization can hire the services of a IT consulting firm for different purposes,
depending on its requirements. So, you have some IT consultants providing objective advice,
others sharing their expertise and knowledge with the organization’s development team, and
still others offering temporary help to crack a complex project successfully. However, the
common goal of the IT consultants is to develop long-term and short-term strategies that help
the client organization to drive business growth, and generate new revenue streams.
Common IT Consulting Services Examples:
• Website and Database Development and Management
• Expertise in use of complex IT tools and processes
• Advice regarding the right IT investments
• Insights gained from experience to help companies make correct decisions
Both IT Managed Services and IT Consulting services help organizations achieve the common
benefits of cost savings, access to expertise and experience, time to focus on core business
issues, and more. However, the basic difference is that while consulting involves seeking advice
and suggestions from providers, managed services are about seeking their involvement in
undertaking the project.
