Quotes of the Day

When you add glasses to a face in a business context, respondents describe that person as studious, intelligent, conservative, educated and sincere. The heavier the frame on the glasses the more frequently these descriptions were likely to be used. We advise people in positions of power to wear stronger frames to make serious points, such as reading a financial budget, and frameless styles when conveying a 'nice guy' image or being 'one of the boys'. [2004] - Allan Pease

Social Proof: "When others are doing it, it's okay for me to do it, too." [2007] - Chet Holmes

Here are four discount brokerages for non‐American expatriates: DBS Vickers Securities, based in Singapore; TD Direct Investing International (now Internaxx), based in Luxembourg; Swissquote, based in Switzerland; and Saxo Capital Markets, located in more than 20 worldwide locations, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Uruguay, and the United Arab Emirates. Interactive Brokers, an American firm, allows Americans and non‐Americans to open accounts from almost every country in the world. If you're a non‐American expat, avoid TD Ameritrade Singapore. Investors pay 30 percent dividend withholding taxes because the brokerage trades solely on the US market. [2018] - Andrew Hallam

Waist-to-Height Ratio, or WHtR, is a better tool than BMI that we can use to gauge the health risks of body fat. Stand up straight and take a deep breath, exhale, and let it all hang out. The circumference of your belly (halfway between the top of your hip bones and the bottom of your rib cage) should be half your height--ideally, less. If that measurement is more than half your height, it's time to start eating healthier and exercising more regardless of your weight. [2015] - Michael Greger

Peak hours for sending a first email through the online dating system tended to be during work (eleven A.M. to four P.M.) and then just after dinner (seven P.M. to nine P.M.). I did have a few women send me a first message after eleven P.M. Those who did had an 82 percent chance of coming from a profile that had too many words. [2013] - Amy Webb
