fabric is under stress, the seams will give way before the fab-
ric tears. (Never use polyester thread with cotton fabrics.)

Timeshare Oasis advertises timeshare properties for sale for $1.00 and we are re-peatedly asked, “Is this a scam?”
NO! Here’s why. The resale market is supplied by owners with lifestyle and eco-nomic changes. This increasing need has created two predomi-nate types of disposal companies. • One that will sell you a points pack-age or vacation club, taking your existing property as “equity trade or credit” low-ering the price of the new purchase. Or • A relief or exit company, which for a
Is this a scam?fee, usually a BIG one, will make your prop-erty disappear. Are these legiti-mate? Sometimes and maybe. That’s for an-other column. The point is, time-share owners are paying to dispose of unwanted properties. These relinquished properties are posted on eBay for $1.00, free closing costs, free first year usage and some-times a gift card. Sell-ers pay for buyers to take over the property.We compete by adopt-ing a similar model, but with benefits and protection for the sell-er. • Our Real Estate
brokerage and agents are licensed and in-sured. • NO UP FRONT FEES • Nothing addition-al to purchase • Actual costs, not inflated figures • Security of escrow • Decades of expe-rience and global net-working • Legitimate buy-ers-not dump compa-nies or straw buyers • We work for YOU Submit a listing form from our website and get a free quote for the best disposal options for your prop-erty.

(NAPSI)—Smart thermostats have become a hot item in many American homes. Smart ther-mostats are Wi-Fi-en-abled devices that can automatically adjust heating and cooling temperature settings for optimal climate control in your home. What makes them a smart investment is that you can get ener-gy savings along with
A Smart Thermostat Can Be A Smart
Investmentoptimal performance. With the average
American household spending almost $900 a year on heating and cooling costs, invest-ing in the right smart thermostat can pay dividends for years to come.Cool Idea For A More Comfortable Home
Smart thermostats provide convenience, insight and control. While system designs vary, the three most common features are: 1. The ability to learn the tempera-ture that you like and
establish a schedule that automatically ad-justs to energy-saving temperatures when you’re asleep or away 2. Providing home energy use data that you can track and manage 3. Allowing you to control home heating and cooling remotely through your smart-phone. While using a smart thermostat is a great way to manage air temperature in your home, only those that
have earned the EN-ERGY STAR label have been independently certified, based on ac-tual field data, to save energy. Through the
third-party certifica-tion process, smart themostats demon-strate their ability to: • Accurately mea-sure temperature
• Quickly enter a low-power standby mode when inactive • Track and report
Smart ThermostatContinue on Page 9
Smart ThermostatContinued form
Page 8 equipment use and temperature data to the homeowner • Provide tailored functionality and ser-vice that deliver ener-gy savings for a range of different homeown-ers.
Smart Way To Save
Energy Smart thermostats that are ENERGY STAR certified pro-vide enhanced com-fort in your home by letting you control temperatures based on your preferences and lifestyle—and still save energy. Saving energy is good for you and the environment.
If everyone used an ENERGY STAR certi-fied smart thermostat, savings would grow to 56 trillion BTUs of energy and $740 mil-lion per year, offset-ting 13 billion pounds
of annual greenhouse gas emissions.

(NAPSI)—Major
“Water” YourResolutions for 2018?
New Year’s resolu-
tions can be hard to keep, but commit-ting to taking small steps that save water throughout the year can have a real ripple effect. As one of your 2018 resolutions, you can join the thousands of smart consumers who have taken the “I’m for Water” pledge and save this precious resource while you
also save money. Take the pledge on the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency’s WaterSense website (www.epa.gov/watersense) and download a checklist full of monthly tips and resources that will help you reduce your water use and keep your resolution to save resources throughout
the year. Saving water can be as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth or shave—a small action that saves eight to 10 gallons of water per day. Here are just a few other ideas to help you keep your wa-ter-saving resolution:

Water ResolutionsContinued from
Page 9 • Replace your showerhead with a WaterSense labeled model; you’ll enjoy a powerful spray and save 2,700 gallons of water per year, plus enough energy to power your home for 11 days. • Many utilities of-fer rebates for Water-Sense labeled fixtures; if you’re in the market for a plumbing or ir-rigation product, visit www.epa.gov/water-sense/rebate-finder to find a rebate in your area and stack up on savings. • If you’re making changes to your yard in 2018, WaterSense has information that can help you plant a water-smart land-scape.
x The WaterSense Resolve to Save Wa-ter checklist not only has useful tips, it is also a helpful remind-er of specific times to reduce water waste throughout the year. For example, the tenth annual Fix a Leak Week, March 19 through 25, 2018, is a great time to find and fix water leaks in your home, which could be wasting 10,000 gallons of water each year. That’s the amount of water it takes to wash 270 loads of laundry! When you resolve to save water in the new year, you’ll also save the energy needed to heat water, and money on utility bills. Even if you just take one small step to use less water this year, every drop counts! For more in-formation on taking

A diversified sched-ule of seminars and exhibits will round out the show for attend-ees.
