Multiplexes typically earn stronger cash flows, especially when they are purchased outside the downtown Toronto area. [2017] - Calum Ross

Six principles for strength training: 1) Overload; 2) Progressive training; 3) Momentary muscle failure; 4) One set only; 5) Slow is better; 6) Sufficient recovery time. Taken together, those principles form the basis of what is known as High-Intensity Training, or HIT for short. People are invariably doing the conventional workout of multiple sets of fairly fast reps. And there's nothing wrong with that if you enjoy it, have the time, and don't injure yourself. But research shows that HIT delivers equal results in a fraction of the time. Intensity is more important than duration, whether you're doing aerobic exercise--high-intensity interval training exemplifies the rule of thumb--or strength training. [2021] - Philip Shepherd

The four major roles that each spouse must perform in an enduing relationship: 1) Friend/companion/adviser; 2) Lover and sexual partner; 3) Parent (if there are children); 4) Lifetime business partner (in a partnership that can never be dissolved once there are children). The two requirements for a successful marriage: 1) Possess the emotional capacity to make and sustain an exclusive lifetime commitment to a mate; 2) Be a good match for his/her mate. [2011] - Isabelle Fox

The sugar alcohols sorbitol and xylitol are harmless in themselves, but they aren't absorbed by the body and end up in the colon, where they can draw in fluid and cause diarrhea. This is why they're only used commercially in small quantities, such as in mints or chewing gum, as opposed to beverages. A related compound, however, erythritol, is absorbed and may have the harmlessness of xylitol without the laxative effect. Erythritol is found naturally in pears and grapes, but industrially, yeast is used to produce it. Erythritol doesn't cause cavities, and it hasn't been implicated in fibromyalgia, preterm birth, headaches, hypertension, brain disorders, or platelet disorders like other low-calorie sweeteners. [2015] - Michael Greger
