Speak slowly for nonnative speakers. [2009] - Leil Lowndes

There are times that the government does come up with a plan to help certain sectors of the economy, that can be a great opportunity to save on taxes and earn income. This they did in a program called Flow-Through Shares. The risk is that sometimes shares can become worthless. Also, sometimes it takes much longer to bring the product to market than was expected and you have to wait for a long period for a return on your investment. There is also the fact that you cannot sell the shares for a period of 18 to 24 months as dictated in the share structure. The upside is, if your research into the investment was thorough, you could have valuable shares to sell or a nice income stream of dividend income for years to come. [2008] - Dwayne Daku

Keep to one-photo-per-outfit rule. Solid colors always look best on-camera, so skip small tight patterns. [2013] - Laurie Davis

If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it is likely you have gingivitis. Often, gingivitis occurs when your body’s immune system is weak or compromised, such as during pregnancy, a period of stress, hormone fluctuation, menopause, or if your mouth is dry from the side effects of taking certain medications or using an asthma inhaler or antihistamine drug. When you notice bleeding, it is important to take action immediately to resolve this. If gingivitis is untreated for more than a few days, deeper damage can occur, and a gum pocket may form that is much more permanent and difficult to resolve. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

We e-mail all our tenants and friends and family that live near the unit that is for rent and let them know about it. If someone refers a good tenant to you, it's a good idea to thank them in some way. Depending on the effort that went into the referral, we may just send a thank you card with a small gift certificate (say $25 for a restaurant or bookstore), or we'll send a nice gift basket that costs somewhere between $50 and $100. If you're near a large facility like a university or hospital, check around and see if they have a housing board. [2013] - Julie Broad
