Quotes of the Day

Position, or end-of-day, trading is fairly straightforward in that the trader is taking trade signals on the basis of price behavior on the daily charts. Enter orders is just before the end of the trading day at 5 p.m. EST. It is common parlance to refer to 5 p.m. EST as the close because it marks the change from one day to the next on the daily chart. You determine whether the trade is a trend or a countertrend on the basis of the stance of your daily chart and look to the weekly and monthly charts for confirmation. [2010] - Jay Norris

Most banks have a list of acceptable appraisers. When appraisers do appraisals for a bank, they tend to protect their trusted position with the bank. When they do appraisals for vendors, they tend towards the higher end of the range. [2009] - Don R. Campbell

Your saliva contains DNA, and you can send it away to test for risk markers of cancers, Parkinson’s disease, late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, celiac disease, and rare disorders (hereditary thrombophilia, hereditary hemochromatosis, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, Gaucher’s disease type 1, Factor XI deficiency, early-onset primary dystonia, and alpha-1-antitrysin deficiency). While only 5–10% of cancers are hereditary in nature, they can be identified through genetic testing. These are breast (female and male), colorectal, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, stomach, and uterine. The risk for some heart conditions can also be detected through DNA tests. Familial hypercholesterolemia, arteriopathies, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathies are all detectable. [2019] - William W Li

Sometimes, processing can make foods healthier. For example, tomato juice appears to be the one common juice that may actually be healthier than the whole fruit. the processing of tomato products boosts the availability of the antioxidant red pigment lycopene by as much as fivefold. Similarly, the removal of fat from cacao beans to make cocoa powder improves the nutritional profile. Using my definition of "nothing bad added, nothing good taken away", steel-cut oats, rolled oats, and even (plain) instant oatmeal can be considered unprocessed. [2015] - Michael Greger

If it's been three or more years since the wood flooring was last finished, chances are it's due for a new refinishing. The downside is that all of your furniture usually must be removed for a few days. And the odor of the chemicals used can be quite strong and can linger for several weeks. The result, however, is usually spectacular. The cost is usually not as much as for new carpeting. [2003] - Robert Irwin
