Quotes of the Day

Estimate your protein target: 1) Estimate the daily energy (calorie) requirement for your age, sex, and level of activity. You can do this by using something called the Harris Benedict equation calculator, available online at numerous websites. 2) Estimate the portion of those calories that should come as protein (i.e., your protein intake target) by multiplying that value by: Child and adolescent: 0.15 (i.e., a 15% protein diet) / Young adult (18–30): 0.18 / Pregnant and breastfeeding: 0.20 / Mature adult (30s): 0.17 / Middle years (40–65): 0.15 / Older age (>65): 0.20 3) Divide that number by 4 to get the number of grams of protein per day you should eat. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

Hold equal amounts of Canadian, US and overseas stocks. For example, if your overall portfolio target is 60% stocks, you'd hold 20% in Canada, 20% in the US, and 20% in international equities. You can slit that last category into 15% developed markets and 5% emerging markets. (That mix of three-quarters developed and one-quarter emerging is a good rule of thumb.) [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

An easy-to-follow formula that you can apply to almost any profile: Write an interesting statement about your own experience with said topic or interest, then follow it up with an open-ended question that's either directly related to your first statement or is about something else in the profile. No "hi," "hello," or "hey there." Limit your first message to two to three sentences. Sign your first name at the end of your message, but don't give a sign off (no "all best," "cheers," or even "I hope to hear from you.") [2016] - Lisa Hoehn

There's a standard tenancy agreement on the Residential Tenancy Branch website but I'd recommend adding more than just the basic terms listed there, especially if you have specific custom terms you want to include. [2015] - Gary Wong
