Quotes of the Day

The Personnel Manager or Human Resources office is the employer's friend, not yours. Their basic function is to screen you out, so avoid them if possible. [2013] - Richard N. Bolles

Just one round-trip, cross-country flight may subject you to about the same level of radiation as a chest x-ray. The research team found that green, leafy vegetables like spinach and kale appear to have an edge over other vegetables and fruits when it comes to radiation protection. Other common foods that may be protective against radiation damage include garlic, turmeric, goji berries, and mint leaves, but none of these has been tested in clinical studies. [2015] - Michael Greger

You shouldn't do alternating series that was used in the same exercise as the first. For example, if you train the triceps and then go to the chest, it will be difficult for the triceps to work with the chests muscle in exercise that push the chest, since they're already fatigued. The same happens when you train the biceps and then the back. If, in order to train a large muscle, you include mono-articular and bi-articular exercises, such as flies or flexions, do the mono-articular exercises first, so that the most powerful muscle (pectoralis major) is fatigued first, and you'll prevent the weaker muscle (brachial triceps) from being a limiting factor in the bi-articular exercise. [2020] - Guillermo Seijas

There is a wonderful universe of whole grains out there. You may have tried quinoa, but what about kaniwa or fonio? Even wild rice (which is not actually even rice) may not sound as wild as the grain called freekeh. Have fun and try some amaranth, millet, sorghum, or teff or expand the amber waves of your horizon. If you have a choice, pick red quinoa over white quinoa, blue corn over yellow, and yellow corn over white. Pigmented rice--red, purple, or black--has benefits over brown. Whole-wheat pasta cooks in about 10 minutes. My favorite brand is Bionaturae because of its deliciously nutty taste. [2015] - Michael Greger

If you are buying a condominium as your principal residence, you generally don't pay any fees, other than the appraisal fee to the mortgage broker. [2017] - Calum Ross
