Quotes of the Day

Location is still key in any real estate investment. I'm referring to the middle-class neighborhoods on the outskirts and in the suburbs. Generally these areas are found 20 to 40 miles outside the city center, in smaller towns and communities. [2015] - Brandon Turner

Invent several options all equally acceptable to you and ask the other side which one they prefer. You want to know what is preferable, not necessarily what is acceptable. You can then take that option, work with it some more, and again present two or more variants, asking which one they prefer. [1991] - Roger Fisher

The correct method for tracking the stock market is to use semilogarithmic chart paper, since the market's history is sensibly related only on a percentage basis. The investor is concerned with percentage gain or loss, not the number of points traveled in a market average. Arithmetic scale is quite acceptable for tracking hourly waves. Channeling techniques work acceptably well on arithmetic scale with shorter term moves. [2001] - Robert Prechter

The next time you go to the beach, consider drinking a shot of tomato, watermelon, pink grapefruit, or guava juice before heading out. It will protect you against sun damage. The red-orange color of these fruits comes from lycopene, which, among other benefits you’ve seen in earlier chapters, protects DNA from the ionizing radiation damage from the sun. Also think about having a shot of tomato or watermelon juice before going to the dentist, who may take an X-ray of your teeth, or before getting on an airplane, where a dose of radiation during the flight will be unavoidable. Lycopene is also protective against DNA damage caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. [2019] - William W Li

A pouch at the upper end of the esophagus is called a Zenker's diverticulum; and at the bottom of the esophagus, a distal esophageal diverticulum. Zenker's are far more frequently the cause of symptoms, including bringing up undigested food into the throat (especially when lying down) and chronic cough. Diagnosis is by endoscopy or barium swallow/esophagogram. [2014] - Jamie Koufman
