Quotes of the Day

When a person wants to attract the opposite sex they do so by emphasizing sexual differences. For a man, success in the mating game relies mainly on his ability to read the signals being sent to him, as opposed to being able to initiate his own moves. Women's difficulty in finding partners is not about reading signals, it's more about finding a man who'll match their criteria. [2004] - Allan Pease

As we await vaccines directed against Alzheimer's disease, more evidence of an association of the recombinant shingles vaccine (Shingrix) with reduction of dementia, including Alzheimer's, has emerged, which also raises the potential role of herpes zoster virus.

As you age, your risk of developing and dying from cancer grows every year——until you hit 85 or 90. Interestingly, that's when your cancer risk begins to drop. At age 65, we're 100 times more likely to have a tumor than we're at age 35, but if you don't get a cancer diagnosis by a certain age, you may never get one. [2023] - Michael Greger

In any selling environment, there are two basic philosophies, or approaches. The first involves low volume and high profit-margin. The second is the opposite--high volume, low profit-margin. Sellers on eBay have to have better prices than what's out there. To create a successful business with a low profit-margin, it is necessary to sell more product than if you were able to charge retail price. Historically, on eBay, this high-volume-low-margin philosophy tends to be the more successful. If you can purchase your product for below the average eBay selling price, you have margin and you're in business. If not, try to find something else. I recommend a product that will yield a profit margin, is available in large enough quantity, and is "UPS-able". [2005] - Adam Ginsberg
