Quotes of the Day

Having completed one set to failure, there is no advantage in doing a second set. The set will have taken between 90 and 120 seconds from start to finish. If your time falls significantly outside that range, make a note to adjust the difficulty the next time. On a machine, that means increasing or decreasing the weight. If you're new to strength training and have lost muscle mass, you might be able to do a workout three times a week. As you get stronger, that will decrease to twice a week, then perhaps to once a week. Research has also shown that it's inadvisable to do aerobic exercise on the same day as an MSTF session, as doing so may inhibit the benefits of the strength training. [2021] - Philip Shepherd

For security, each new purchase should not exceed 15 percent of what you own at the time of the purchase, which means if you own 40 units it's probably safe to buy a 6-unit property. [2004] - Mike Summey

Spread your assets among several nations, in several forms. Own physical gold and put it beyond the government’s reach. Buy the shares of mining stocks with reserves in relatively safe parts of the world. Convert some cash into digital gold, stored in a non-U.S. vault. Open Canadian, Swiss, German, or Japanese bank and brokerage accounts.  [2004] - James Turk

If you are going to do business over dinner, it's a wise strategy to complete most of the conversation before the food arrives. First, whether you are dining at home or at a restaurant, have the other person sitting with his back to a solid wall or screen. Next, the lights should be dimmed and muffled background music should be played to relax the senses. It would be best to use a round table and to have the other person's view of other people obscured by a screen or large green plant if you want a captive audience. [2004] - Allan Pease

It is important to control prolonged periods of mouth acidity, and this may involve reducing habits like snacking, frequent sipping of drinks (even water, which dilutes saliva), and allowing chronic stress to dominate your life. It is equally important to nurture the healthiest possible biofilm, ideally by keeping your mouth bathed in healthy saliva as much as possible. The health and pH of saliva is affected by diet, stress, changes in hormones and circulation, smoking, and the quality of nutrients absorbed from your food, which depends on the health of your digestive system. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
