There are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon (also known as Chinese cinnamon). In the United States, anything simply labeled "cinnamon" is probably cassia, since it's cheaper. This is unfortunate, because cassia contains a compound called coumarin, which may be toxic to the liver at high doses. Unless it's specifically labeled Ceylon cinnamon, a daily teaspoon would exceed the tolerable upper safety limit for adults. [2015] - Michael Greger

I like using 10- and 35-period averages on intraday charts and add the 200-period one on daily charts. The 200-period average is commonly used to determine the trend of the market. I use it as a way to monitor the market’s long-term direction. The 10-day average riding the market much more closely and giving signals the most quickly, but the market can whipsaw around it during a choppy period. The 35-day average is smoother and acts more as a trendline for the medium term. [2003] - Marcel Link

Nuts and seeds contain five micronutrient-thieving Everyday Micronutrient Depleters (EMDs). Nuts and most seeds, as well as nut flours, nut milks, and nut butters, are high in inflammation-causing omega-6 fatty acids. We highly suggest removing all nuts and seeds (and all nut- and seed-based products) from your diet to reduce omega-6 overload except for chia seeds, flaxseeds and macadamias. [2019] - Mira Calton

The 70% rule states that the most a flipper should pay for a property is 70% of the after repair value (ARV, what the house is worth after it has been fixed up) less rehab costs. So, a house that has an ARV of $150,000 and needs $30,000 worth of rehab could be bought for $75,000, because $150,000 x .7 = $105,000 and $105,000 - $30,000 = $75,000. How can I do this? It may require direct mail, Craigslist, driving for dollars and it's going to take some hustle. Most lenders are unwilling to loan money on a fixer-upper and you'll probably have to look at options such as hard money, private money, cash, home equity, and other strategies. [2015] - Brandon Turner

Avoid sharing a meal during the first meet-up. Meals are second-date territory in the Winkisphere. [2013] - Laurie Davis
