Remember, basement waterproofing is a very important thing to consider when you have water in your home, but it is something you need to allow professionals to handle. By trying to fix the problem yourself, you could end up with a very big mess down the road. Having your home waterproofed may even increase its property value, so do not be afraid to invest a little money in this important process..
Neurobiologist John Allman picked up on Cartmill's hypothesis and expanded it to focus on nocturnal predation. Not all predators, after all, have forward facing eyes. Cats, primates and owls do, but not mongooses, tree shrews, and robins. We haven seen any indication that the release of American citizens is changing North Korea attitudes or approach on the nuclear issue, Kim said. The important question of how we can resume serious negotiations toward denuclearization, so far they have indicated no interest in doing so. Six party talks, also including Japan, Russia, China and South Korea, stalled six years ago after North Korea withdrew..
Step two is to hold the older, less progressive (and frankly centrist) politicians accountable to the same progressive standard as the new ones. The flip side, what it seems like you suggesting, is to be happy that the seats are blue and to hold the progressive candidates to the same old standards as we hold the old politicians. That leads to unfulfilled progressive promises and another 30 years of the Clintons Third Way of happy capitulation..
A Parks and Recreation employee found two bloody latex gloves and blood smeared on a picnic table at Sherwood Park. A local resident reported that she heard a possible altercation in the park the previous night. The scene was processed for evidence, and there are no victims or suspects at this time.
He would stop to help anyone that needed anything, he was always the first to volunteer to give you the shirt off of his back.

Not long ago at a wedding I attended,the rabbi offered the bride and groom a piece of very doable advice: The key to a long and happy union, he said, is to touch each other every single day. The touching can be as simple as a hug hello, he explained, or a gentle rub on the back. But to stay connected romantically and emotionally, a couple needs to stay connected physically byliterally connecting..

This monograph represents the most important contribution to the literature on the visual fields since the monumental presentation of this subject by Traquair and his popularization of quantitative perimetry. There have been new developments since 1948, when the last edition of Traquair's "An Introduction to Clinical Perimetry" appeared, and the author has covered these most adequately. Retaining the concept of the visual field as an "island of vision surrounded by a sea of blindness," and reemphasizing the necessity of careful quantitative determinations of the peripheral and central field defects, the author has described some of the more recent methods of examination. These include the extinction phenomenon, examination with ultraviolet radiation and luminous test objects as introduced by him, angioscotometry as advocated by Evans, flicker fusion fields, and the multiple-pattern method for quick screening. As is imperative in a book that describes visual fields in a wide variety of ocular and

Marvel's superhero film "Avengers: Endgame" has become the most successful foreign film ever released in Korea.
According to the Korean Film Council, the film attracted 13.42 million moviegoers as of Sunday, in about a month since its release here on April 24, beating the previous record held by "Avatar" which drew 13.34 million viewers in 2009.
Among all foreign and domestic films released in Korea it is the fifth-most-viewed film, following "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" (2014), "Extreme Job" (2019), "Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds" (2017) and "Ode to My Father" (2014).
"Avengers: Endgame" has set other records. It drew the country's biggest-ever audience on opening day and the highest attendance for a single day. The film also reached the 10-million mark faster than any other film.

Kidsaw Deluxe Sprung Cot Mattress
Kidsaw Freshtec Starter Foam Junior Cot Mattress
When it comes to cot mattresses, they need to be practical in the sense that your child is going to be safe and comfortable, alongside protected against any spillages throughout the night. Without these aspects in a mattress, it makes them fairly pointless and not worth investing in. That's why here at Mattressman we offer a variety of different kinds of cots beds.
Mainly stocking Kidsaw mattresses, we have foam, pocket sprung and open coil options. Memory foam options are good value for money, resist allergens and dust mites and provide good support. Pocket sprung are a good familiar option to go with that also provide body moulding support. The open coil option is a firm but still comfortable option, as is all of the cot mattresses that we stock.
Alongside this, removable covers are essential when looking for a cot bed. Easily removed with a zip seal, the deluxe quilted covers can remain fresher for much longer. Find your child the perfect cot mattress today…

There are many forms of meditation. Adherents to each different form will probably proclaim that their method confers the most benefits.
Vipassana (Insight)
I had the rare privilege to sit for a 10 day Vipassana (Insight) course in Sydney in 1983 that was conducted in person by S.N. Goenka, the founder of modern Vipassana.
Noble silence is observed for the entire 10 days. The day starts at 4.00am and ends at 9:30 pm with 11:15 hours of meditation where the practitioner sits motionless and practises Anapana (breathing) for 3 days and thereafter Vipassana.
It is pretty intensive.
I have done another 10 10 day courses since then, but, to be honest, I have struggled to keep up daily practice.
I wish my brain chemistry could have been analysed, before and after each course.
All I can say is that, mentally, I felt like Superman. Emotionally, I felt calm. Spiritually, I felt good vibes towards everyone.
Whilst I believe in Vipassana, I also believe that most of the alternative forms confer similar benefits.
Fortunately, there have been many research studies which have measured the benefits of Meditation.
Meditation, as described in the ancient Vedic texts, is an exercise of consciousness that results in the expansion of consciousness.
Although I did not have my brain analysed, there was a study performed on Insight meditators which concluded that Meditation experience is associated with increased cortical thickness.
Analysis of the right frontal BA 9/10 subregion resulted in a significant age by group interaction, F(1,31)=10.85, P=0.002, with typical age-related decreases observed in the control group [r(13)=-0.76, P=0.001] but not in the meditation group [r(18)=-0.05, P=0.83].
What this means is that as we age we lose grey matter, unless we meditate, in which case we don't.
In other words, "Meditation keeps our brains young"
There are many other observed benefits, too many to detail here, but they will make interesting individual analyses.
Kundalini (Kirtan Kryia)
Saa Taa Naa Maa
In the Punjabi language, this mantra means Infinity, Birth, Death, and Rebirth…. or
The cycle of Life.
It is the mantra intoned by Kirtan Kiryia Meditators.
Kirtan means Sing and Kirya means Exercise.
So what is so special about Kirtan Kirya?
- It shuts down the skin ageing gene.
- It is more efficient than MET (the gold standard for memory training) in improving memory.
- It lengthens your telomeres so you live longer.
- It is ridiculously easy… requiring only 12 minutes per day of your valuable time.
I follow the Vipassana tradition of meditation so I was somewhat sceptical when Kirtan Kiria started to crop up in my longevity research.
But, I have been experimenting for the past week and I would like to share my impressions.
My first impression was that chanting Saa Taa Naa Maa out loud for 2 minutes, whispering for another 2, visualising for another 2, whispering for another 2, and out loud for another 2 was a silly waste of time.
But the vibrations of the repetitive chant were relaxing. At least as relaxing as doing a mental body scan to relax every muscle.
The Alzheimer's Research & Prevention Foundation reports that clinical research has shown that practicing Kirtan Kriya Meditation (KKM) for just 12 minutes a day can improve cognition and activate parts of the brain that are central to memory.
As an added bonus, KKM will make you look younger and rejuvenate your skin by deactivating the NF-kB skin inflammation gene. It will also allow you to live longer by increasing your telomerase activity
How do you practice Kirtan Kriya?
- Repeat the Saa Taa Naa Maa sounds (or mantra) while sitting with your spine straight. Your focus of concentration is the L form (see illustration), while your eyes are closed. With each syllable, imagine the sound flowing in through the top of your head and out the middle of your forehead (your third eye point).
- For two minutes, sing in your normal voice.
- For the next two minutes, sing in a whisper.
- For the next four minutes, say the sound silently to yourself.
- Then reverse the order, whispering for two minutes, and then out loud for two minutes, for a total of twelve minutes.
- To come out of the exercise, inhale very deeply, stretch your hands above your head, and then bring them down slowly in a sweeping motion as you exhale.
The mudras, or finger positions, are very important in this kriya (see illustration below).
- On Saa, touch the index fingers of each hand to your thumbs.
- On Taa, touch your middle fingers to your thumbs.
- On Naa, touch your ring fingers to your thumbs.
- On Maa, touch your little fingers to your thumbs.

Boy dragged two storeys by lift cut out with saw
Published: November 6, 2007 | 6807th good news item since 2003
A 7-year-old boy trapped in a lift in his grandparents' house had to be freed by firefighters using a chainsaw.
Edward Sclater was at the Mt Maunganui house on Saturday when his arm got stuck between the lift floor and wall as he reached to retrieve a ball.
The lift was the type that has only a platform floor, rather than an enclosed carriage, to move up and down the shaft.
Edward's forearm became wedged between the floor and the shaft wall as the lift was moving.
It moved up two storeys before it stopped and emergency services could be called.
The 7-year-old's arm was crushed and he spent a night in hospital recovering but, by yesterday, had feeling back in his fingers.
Miraculously, he suffered no broken bones, although the swelling and bruising were severe.
Edward, of Matamata, was reluctant to talk publicly about his ordeal, but his mother Justine told the Herald that he was anxious to thank the two Fire Service crews who spent 20 minutes freeing him, and particularly the officer who cut a hole in the lift floor with a chainsaw to get him out.
"He really wants to see the fireman," Mrs Sclater said. "He was really the hero of the day."
Edward had been returning from an outing to the beach with a neighbour of his grandparents.
The neighbour, a man in his 40s, was in the lift of the grandparents' May St home when Edward reached to retrieve a volleyball.
It was unclear how his arm became wedged in the small gap between the lift floor and walls, or how the volleyball managed to drop into the shaft.
"It was just an absolute freak accident," Mrs Sclater said. "I absolutely blame no one for it."
Four firefighters from Mt Maunganui and a second crew from Tauranga rushed to the house, and initially tried to free Edward by using crowbars and wedges to pry the lift floor back.
When those efforts failed, they used a chainsaw to cut a hole in the platform floor.
"He wasn't keen on the chainsaw right next to his arm, but he was brave," Tauranga senior station officer Phil Price said.
Soapy water was then used to free Edward's crushed arm from the cut-out notch of floor.
Mrs Sclater praised the firefighters and said St John ambulance staff had also been great, ringing yesterday morning to check how her son was doing.
Edward's stay in the new children's ward at Tauranga Hospital had also been "more than comfortable".
She said the incident had been very traumatic for her parents, Irene and Colin Thompson, but had not put her son off his visits. "He thinks his granny and granddad are pretty cool."

Picking new furniture for your house can be a challenge, especially if you know very little a about what you want, where to get it and what it ought to cost. The best thing you can do is spend a bit of time learning more about the topic. The piece that follows is meant to aid you in doing just that.
If you want to save money when replacing furniture, you should look into purchasing previously owned furniture. With a little bit of elbow grease you can easily transform an older looking piece that is overall in good shape. You can find pieces like dressers, coffee tables, kitchen tables and more that just need a bit of paint to look good.
Before buying any cabinets, open all of the drawers and look inside. You're not only making sure that all of the drawers are built to last and open without any hitches, you also want to make sure that the interior of the drawers have some sort of finishing as well.
If you want to be absolutely sure that you are getting a piece of furniture made with forest management practices in mind, look for the FSC certification. There are a number of certifications around, many of which are good. However, the FSC certification in particular is respected internationally for forest management.
When you think about buying a single piece of furniture, think about how it will fit in with the rest of your decor. It's one thing to see a flamingo side table out while you're shopping, but it's another thing to bring it home and try to make it work with everything else you have. Think carefully before you buy.
Thrift stores are a great place to look for furniture. They have an ever changing inventory of items. There can be great furniture finds at thrift stores. Often they have smaller items of furniture, but sometimes you can score some pretty terrific couches.
Avoid furniture held together by nails and glue. Look for furniture that has been properly joined at the corners, not simply nailed together. This shows quality of construction and ensures your piece will stand the test of time. They are also more sturdy, and can handle bearing more weight than cheaper methods.
Buy used furniture when you can. You may be surprised at some of the great furniture pieces you can get used. Sometimes individuals will buy a furnishing and not like it, or use it. And when they want a new piece, many times they will want to get rid of it for a low price.
You may find furniture at a bargain price but if the quality of it isn't good then you could be wasting money. It is a better idea to invest a little more to buy furniture that will last rather than something that will break and need to be replaced many times.
Is the online furniture retailer you are dealing with legit? You can do this by checking them out on the Better Business Bureau and looking for reviews online. Also consider pricing including shipping and taxes.
When you shop for upholstery and fabric furniture, there are various types and textures to consider. Most fall into three popular groups: synthetic, organic, and blended fibers. Synthetic fibers includes microfiber and acrylic, organic fibers includes cotton duck, silk and wool, and blended fibers combine both synthetic and organic fibers.
The job of selecting furniture for your home may be something you have always dreaded. But, armed with your new foundation of knowledge, you ought to be excited about the prospect. Use e advice found above as a wonderful point of reference any time you find yourself in need of a new piece or two.

Buying vs. Rent to Own Homes
Renting to own a home and buying a house have the same steps, just on different timetables.
When you buy a house, you either pay with cash or you make monthly payments to a mortgage or some other kind of financing option for a set time frame.
When you rent to own a home you pay an option fee, which is later credited toward the purchase of the home, and then you make monthly rent payments until you're sure you want to buy this house and you can secure financing. Then, you do the same things you would if you were buying a house – just make sure you do it before the end of the lease term so that you don't lose any of the money you've negotiated.
When you can choose between the two, buying might be the right option because your monthly payments will go towards equity in a home as opposed to someone else's pocket. However, lease-options get you to the same place with a little more time.
Rent to Own Realtors
Using a realtor for your rent to own deal can offer great benefits. Agents are well versed in real estate so they can effectively communicate opportunities and discern which of those opportunities is a legitimately good deal.
Nonetheless, not a lot of realtors will want to help with your rent to own deal because upfront profit for a realtor is minimal and the big payout down the line is not a guarantee.
That means you'll have to do a little research to ensure that you make the best decisions, but you will save money on commission.
About Our Listings
The free listings for rent to own by owner properties on this website make it easier for buyers to find rent to buy programs near me online.
Rent to buy is a good way to sell apartments or houses when the market isn't particularly active. It's certainly a more profitable alternative than selling them for cheap prices.
You can choose to lease-option or lease-purchase a condo, townhouse, etc – anything other than foreclosed homes works. In a lease-option, the buyer has the option to buy the home, but in a lease-purchase, the buyer must buy it.
It's important to note that lease to purchase deals usually come with no credit check because bad credit is the tenant's responsibility. If the tenant cannot purchase the home at the end of the lease, the seller keeps their rent and option fee. Then, the seller can find another buyer and, hopefully, market conditions are better.

Cat. #00158282: HELEN KANE
Sorry, this item has already been sold.
Exceedingly rare and completely irreplaceable 11x14-inch sepia-tone image from
Dangerous Nan McGrew
(1930), shown alongside co-star Stuart Erwin, boldly signed and inscribed at the time of the film for the hairstylist: "
To 'Fred' who was brave enough to fix Dangerous Nan McGrew's hair-- Sincerely Helen Kane
." In good condition, with two tiny surface tears to the bottom left-hand corner area and the bottom right-hand edge. Fantastic for display. Adorable, squeaky-voiced singing and occasional film star Helen Kane made wildly popular records of "Get Out and Get Under the Moon" (1928), "That's My Weakness Now" (1928), "I Wanna Be Loved By You" (1928), "Is There Anything Wrong with That?" (1928), "Don't Be Like That" (1928), "Me and the Man in the Moon" (1928), "Button Up Your Overcoat" (1929), "Do Something" (1929), "I'd Do Anything for You" (1929), "He's So Unusual" (1929), "Aint'cha?" (1929), and "Dangerous Nan McGrew" (1930). Mae Questel's dead-on impersonation of Kane was used by Max Fleischer Studios as the voice for Betty Boop in 1930s.

Two people were pronounced dead and a 58-year-old man was critically injured in an arson fire at a Back of the Yards home early Saturday, officials said.
Fire Department officials responded to the 5400 block of South Laflin Street about 12:40 a.m. for a fire that started on the first floor of a two-story residence, a spokesman for the Fire Department said. Chicago police later said it was deemed to be an arson, but few details about the case were available.
"I (saw) flames from the bottom, then from the top, then heard everything crash," said one neighbor, who declined to give her name. "I ain't never seen nothing like this."
The flames climbed quickly from the first floor to the roof, she said.
The Chicago Police Department's bomb and arson unit was on the scene, as well as a K-9 unit from the state fire marshal's office.
Two people were pronounced dead on the scene. They are preliminarily believed to be a man and a woman, police and fire officials said. Information on their ages was not immediately available.
In addition, a 58-year-old man jumped from the second floor and was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious-to-critical condition.

The Tiles
A Mah-Jongg set consists of 144 tiles. These are divided into seven groups, called sets. Furthermore, three of these sets are numeric, they are called suits. Following is a list of all sets:
Generally speaking, of every type of tile there exist four pieces. Only two tiles of the same type can be removed at once. E.g. a North Wind can only be removed with another North Wind (of course only if they both are free). As stated in the last chapter, the Flowers and the Seasons make up an exception to this rule. In these sets (the Flowers and the Seasons are two of the seven sets) every tile isn't available four times but only once. Therefore you can combine every tile of the Flowers or Seasons set with another tile of the same set, although they don't are the same. E.g. you can combine Winter und Autumn to form a pair.
But now back to the tiles.
ATTENTION: The following list is only valid for the Standard Tileset!
(every tile 4x)
The Characters are the first numeric set (suit). Printed on these tiles
is the Chinese symbol for 10.000 which symbolizes prosperity. As with all other suits the tiles are numbered
from 1 to 9. The Chinese ciphers for 1 to 9 are printed in black above the red symbol of prosperity.
For a better readabilty for people from the western world, the corresponding Arabic figures
are drawn next to the Chinese ciphers.
There are four pieces of every Character.
(every tile 4x)
The second suit are the Sticks. Corresponding to their name, bamboo sticks
are shown on them. The numerical value of the tiles is represented by the number of sticks on them.
On the first tile the Sparrow is shown. The Sparrow is the traditional "spirit" of the
Mah-Jongg game (in fact "Mah-Jongg" means "Sparrow").
There are four pieces of every Stick.
(every tile 4x)
The Balls (sometimes known as Dots or Circles) are the last suit. Like the Sticks
their numerical value is represented by the number of the balls shown on the according tile.
There are four pieces of every Ball.
(every tile 4x)
These are the four Winds. From left to right: East, South, West and North.
Shown on every tile is the Chinese symbol for the according wind. For a better readability the first letter of the wind is
printed on the tiles using Latin characters.
There are four pieces of every Wind.
(every tile 4x)
The Dragons. From left to right: Green Dragon, White Dragon and Red Dragon.
The Red Dragon is the logo of Dragonboard.
There are four pieces of every Dragon.
(every tile 1x)
Contrary to the above mentioned sets, the Flowers are only present once per tile. From left to right these are:
The Orchid, the Plum Blossom, the Bamboo und the Chrysantheme.
Printed on the tiles are the corresponding abbrevations for the Flowers.
Every Flower can be removed from board with every other Flower.
There is only one piece of every Flower.
(every tile 1x)
The tiles of the Seasons only exist once - as is the case with the Flowers.
From left to right: Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter. Printed on the tiles are the corresponding abbrevations
for the Seasons. Every Season can be removed from board
with every other Season.
There is only one piece of every Season.
Ok, folks. That's all there is to say about basic rules and tiles. By now you should be able to play some rounds of Dragonboard and before moving on to the next page, we recommend you to do so! Maybe you can already win a game! The next page discloses some of the basic strategy rules. But if you never actually played a round of Dragonboard they won't help you much...
Ok. If you're fit enough for some strategy hints move on to the next page.

The California city of Long Beach is now looking at a bill of $23 million for "urgent" repairs to RMS Queen Mary.
The requirement is the result of changed lease agreement with the real estate investment company that intends to renovate the ship and develop the surrounding land, which includes the window-less 142,000 square foot dome built in 1983 to house Howard Hughes' 150-ton, eight engine flying boat, the Spruce Goose, with its 320-foot wingspan. Most recently, Carnival Cruise Lines leased part of the 12-story dome.
The exact nature of the urgent repairs to Queen Mary are not public, but are believed to include reinforcing her hull, restoration and/or replacement of her teak decking and restoring of electric, water and sewer systems as highlighted by "Marine Survey" completed by building surveyors Simpson, Gumpertz and Heger.

Vh1 India's music showdown Vh1 Sound Nation League 2019 to begin on 29 Jul
MUMBAI: From 29th July, music and lifestyle broadcaster Vh1 India once again brings to viewers and music aficionados, an epic battle between eight chart-topping songs of 2019, with the winner being determined by fans.
In this three-staged knockout competition, Indian artists like Prateek Kuhad, Emiway Bantai, Tienas and many more will go head-to-head, in a bid to emerge as the winner of Vh1 Sound Nation League 2019.
Commenting on the launch, Viacom18 head programming, English entertainment Hashim Dsouza said, "Over the years, Vh1 India has continually infused music culture from various parts of the globe into the Indian music space, while simultaneously encouraging and endorsing homegrown independent Indian artists. Staying up-to-the-minute, Vh1 has always showcased the latest tracks and trends to connect and further engage with our viewers. Following the overwhelming response to Vh1 Summer League, that saw Boy With Luv by BTS Ft. Halsey defeat seven other international chartbusters from 2019, it was only befitting to bring a rendition for the immensely popular tracks by Indian artists. And we're confident Vh1 Sound Nation League 2019 will see fans more excited and participate to make their favourite artists and tracks emerge victorious."
The winning tracks from the first-stage will face-off in the semi-finals spanning another two days each until two finalists emerge.

TLR4 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: new aPEAling role for palmitoylethanolamide?
19 May 2015
In the thought-provoking article of Lee and colleagues, the pathogenetic role of the toll-like receptor 4 is elegantly shown in a mouse model for ALS.
It is worthwhile to point out that the natural anti-inflammatory compound palmitoylethanolamide has TLR4 antagonistic properties, as shown in inflammation models of colitis ulcerosa. (Esposito et al, 2014)
This fact provoked the comment of McKernan et al, bearing the title: "An apPEAling new therapeutic for ulcerative colitis?"In addition to this, the FAAH inhibitor URB597 increased hippocampal levels of the N-acylethanolamines such as palmitoylethanolamide and attenuated TLR3-induced IL-1β and TNFα expression, thus reducing TLR3-induced neuroinflammatory responses. (Henry et al, 2014)
Palmitoylethanolamide is a very special supplement, easily available and easy to titrate in the clinic, due to its very benign side-effect profile. Doses up to 100 mg/kg BW in humans can be administered without dose-limiting side effects.
Isolated cases of patients suffering from ALS have been published, were palmitoylethanolamide decreased various symptoms, such as the muscle weakness. (Clemente, 2012)
In the web many report of patients suffering from ALS (rather Charcot's disease than Lou-Gehring disease, as Charcot initially described this neuroinflammatory disorder) can be found reporting positive effects of palmitoylethanolamide.
The article of Lee et al should therefore attrackt the attention of neurologists, especially since in ALS no relevant therapy has yet been found (riluzole is only marginally effective), and recent phase III trials, on the base of promising phase II trial results, sadly enough were negative. (Cudkowicz et al, 2015; Lenglet et al, 2014)
We recommend to dose palmitoylethanolamide quite high, 2400 mg/daily for at least 2-3 months, before coming to a clinical judgment wether there is a meaningful effect. For palmitoylethanolamide clinicians do not need to fear dose-limiting side-effects.

New Delhi, January 18: The Election Commission of India (ECI) will release the schedule of 2019 Lok Sabha polls in the first week of March, reports citing top sources said on Friday. The general elections, across 543 parliamentary constituencies, will reportedly be held in 6 or 7 phases. The results are expected to be declared by mid-May.
On the day when the ECI will release the election schedule, the Model Code of Conduct will come into effect, barring the Narendra Modi government at the Centre from taking any major policy decisions. The central government will play the caretaker role till the polls get concluded. LS Polls 2019: Chandrababu Naidu Sees PM Modi's Ploy Behind KCR-Proposed Federal Front.
Sources: Election Commission of India to announce the 2019 Lok Sabha election schedule in the first week of March, election would be held in 6 to 7 phases
— ANI (@ANI) January 18, 2019
The rationale behind conducting the general polls in several rounds or phases is to ensure adequate security cover. The police administration, along with the SRPF and the CRPF will be heavily deployed to ensure the smooth conduct of elections.
In the upcoming polls, the ruling BJP at the Centre is being challenged by a proposed mahagathbandhan or a state-wise alliance of Opposition parties. The plans of the latter, however, could be spoiled by a third or federal front -- an idea being proposed by Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and supported by the likes of his Odisha counterpart Naveen Patnaik.
In the 2014 general elections, the then incumbent UPA alliance was defeated by the BJP-led NDA by a brute mandate. Narendra Modi was elected as the new Prime Minister, with the BJP winning 282 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats. The Congress was reduced to 44 constituencies -- it's worst ever electoral performance in India's democratic history.

Shell - Pipeline
> Procedural Languages > Bash Shell and (Unix|Linux) Utilities (XCU)
Table of Contents
1 - Pipeline
A pipeline is a succession of command separated by a pipe operator. All command(s) in a pipeline are executed in parallel.
2 - Articles Related
3 - Syntax
The format for a pipeline is
[time [-p]] [!] command1 [ [| or |&] command2 ...]
- time print the time statistics.
- The -p option changes the output format to that specified by posix. The TIMEFORMAT variable may be set to a format string that specifies how the timing information should be displayed.
The standard output of command is connected via a pipe to the standard input of command2. This connection is performed before any redirections specified by the command.
If the pipe operator '|&' is used, the standard error of command1 is connected to command2's standard input through the pipe; it is shorthand for 2>&1 |. This implicit redirection of the standard error is performed after any redirections specified by the command.
4 - Execution
4.1 - (A)synchronous
If the pipeline is not executed asynchronously (see Lists), the shell waits for all commands in the pipeline to complete.
4.2 - Parallel
Each command in a pipeline is executed as a separate process (i.e., in its own subshell). The shell waits for all commands in the pipeline to terminate before returning a value.
4.3 - Exit Status
The exit status of a pipeline is the exit status of the last command in the pipeline, unless the pipefail option is enabled (see The Set Builtin).
If pipefail is enabled, the pipeline's return status is the value of the last (rightmost) command to exit with a non-zero status, or zero if all commands exit successfully.
If the reserved word '!' precedes the pipeline, the exit status is the logical negation of the exit status.

Many boxing matches have been held at Donald Trump's Trump Plaza, promoted either by Bob Arum or Don King. Atlantic City is one of five municipalities in the state—and the only one outside of Cape May County—that offer free public access to oceanfront beaches monitored by lifeguards, joining Wildwood, North Wildwood, Wildwood Crest and Upper Township's Strathmere section. Atlantic City is governed within the Faulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law) under the Mayor-Council system of municipal government (Plan D), implemented by direct petition effective as of July 1, 1982. The City Council is the governing body of Atlantic City.
Plaza Hotel
The Plaza HotelThe PlazaPlaza
Westin sold The Plaza to Donald Trump for $390 million on March 27, 1988 (equivalent to $ in ). Trump commented on his purchase in a full-page open letter in The New York Times: "I haven't purchased a building, I have purchased a masterpiece – the Mona Lisa. For the first time in my life, I have knowingly made a deal that was not economic – for I can never justify the price I paid, no matter how successful the Plaza becomes." Trump installed his wife, Ivana Trump, as the hotel's president. After $50 million in renovations, the hotel was earning a healthy operating income, but not enough to make the payments on its heavy debt load.
Bonwit Teller
Shortly thereafter, the company's flagship store was sold separately to Donald Trump. Trump demolished the flagship Manhattan location in 1980 to build the first Trump Tower and Bonwit opened a new location, around the corner from its original store, at Fifth Avenue and 56th Street. The new location would be attached to Trump Tower's indoor mall and was constructed by joining several adjoining buildings. The new store, with 84000 sqft of space, was significantly smaller than the original Bonwit Teller with over 225000 sqft. Ultimately, Bonwit only lasted a short time in its new location, before being closed in 1990.

After it opened in 2012 as the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto, the hotel was controversial for its affiliation with American then real estate developer Donald Trump, who later was elected President of the United States. In 2017, this affiliation led to calls from the public for the hotel to drop its Trump branding following the U.S. President's Executive Order 13769, which restricted people from a number of predominantly Muslim countries from traveling to the United States. The Trump Organization, a company owned by the Trump family, used to hold the management contract for the hotel and was a minority shareholder in the project.

The Tour DuPont was a cycling stage race in the United States held between 1989 and 1996, initially called the Tour de Trump. It was intended to become a North American cycling event similar in format and prestige to the Tour de France. The tour's names came from its sponsors, first the businessman (and later U.S. President) Donald Trump and then later DuPont. The race was held in the mid-Atlantic states, including areas near DuPont's Wilmington, Delaware, headquarters. DuPont withdrew their sponsorship of the race after the 1996 edition, and the event has not been run since.

The Trump Organization, a company owned by real estate developer Donald Trump, began construction of the casino in June 1982. Harrah's, the gaming unit of Holiday Inns, joined as a partner a month later. Trump would oversee the construction, while Harrah's would operate the property, referred to as Harrah's Boardwalk, after opening. The property opened as Harrah's at Trump Plaza on May 14, 1984.

However, Carl Icahn, who held the mortgage on the Trump casinos, would reject the sale of the Trump Plaza. In early August 2014, Donald Trump filed a lawsuit demanding removal of his name from the company's two casinos, because they had allegedly been allowed to fall into disrepair, in breach of the licensing agreement for Trump's name. In September 2014, Trump Entertainment Resorts filed again for bankruptcy, and closed the Trump Plaza.

The contenders included even Donald Trump, who had previously been skeptical.

This time period emphasized that the conservative "Reagan Revolution," led by Reagan, had a permanent impact on the United States in domestic and foreign policy. The Bill Clinton administration is often treated as an extension of the Reagan Era, as is the George W. Bush administration.

In March 2018, Jeffress appeared as a Fox News contributor to discuss allegation that Donald Trump had an affair with a former adult film star Stormy Daniels, saying, "Even if it's proven to be true, it doesn't matter." stating it is irrelevant as policy matters more than the president's personal life.

Both nominees had turbulent journeys in primary races, and were seen unfavorably by the general public. The election saw multiple third-party candidates, and there were over a million write-in votes cast. During the 2016 election, "pre-election polls fueled high-profile predictions that Hillary Clinton's likelihood of winning the presidency was about 90 percent, with estimates ranging from 71 to over 99 percent."

1. What is the story behind Planet Beach?
Planet Beach is the brain child of Stephen P. Smith, a former body builder and Mr. Mississippi 1986 who owned three Gold's Gyms before getting into the tanning business. He left Gold's to open his first tanning salon in New Orleans in 1995 under the name Electric Beach, then later changed the company name to Planet Beach to evoke the get-away-from-it-all experience.
Steve asked me to be his business partner along with Richard Juka, and we began franchising the next year. I was enthusiastically leery. However, was ready for the challenge. We added spa-style treatments in 2005 to enable clients to handle their entire skincare regime in one location.
I currently serve as the Sr. Vice President of Sales; I am a partner in the company and own a Planet Beach franchise right outside the New Orleans area. I am married to my husband, Jerome, and we have one daughter, Victoria, age 10.
2. Do you think the contempo spa concept is growing?
Definitely! We are bringing the spa concept to people who may not have the time or disposable income to visit the traditional day spa. This is a costly and time conscious way to pamper oneself, such as a working mother. The idea was to curiously marry the UV therapy with spa equipment, yet continue to offer services in a private room without the need for an attendant. Thereby, Planet Beach would create the hybrid "Contempo Spa" industry. The result of the conversion process has been the creation of an uncontested market space. The financial outcome has been spectacular. In the very first quarter of the conversion, the existing franchise locations that converted to "Contempo Spa" experienced a 47% average same store sales increase from the previous year.
Planet Beach has created an entirely new industry, and seen tremendous success with it.
3. What makes Planet Beach a great franchising opportunity for would be
women franchisees?
70 percent of our current customer base is women and the majority of our franchise locations are operated by women. In addition, the corporate office is about 65 percent female. There is definitely an empowerment of females within our company. Planet Beach has put in the hard work, done the preparation, and learned what it takes to be successful, which saves our franchisees the work that all new business owners are normally faced with. Planet Beach provides the ultimate in skin care, in a non-invasive boutique environment. Women today get so bogged down with life. Planet Beach recognizes that women want to have a career and a family, while taking time out for themselves. Our franchise opportunity allows for all of these.
4. Do you believe that women can have both a successful career and family life?
Yes, I believe women can find a work-life balance, having a successful career while raising a family. I have experienced this first hand. My Planet Beach location is consistently in the Top 10 out of over 350 locations worldwide, and I also work as VP of Sales to successfully continue to grow Planet Beach.
5. What is your own experience in being a work at home mom? Is it more rewarding?
Since I work in the corporate environment, I am essentially a working mom. Planet Beach does still provide to me the ability to balance my family life, and I am able to attend all of my daughter's events and other family activities. It is very rewarding to be part of such a great company while being able to include family at the same time. We are very family oriented at Planet Beach.
6. What do your franchisees say about Planet Beach?
Our franchisees believe Planet Beach is an innovative company that is great to be part of-a completely unique business model. They love being part of a successful, growing company. It's nice to own your own business but not be in business alone - it's business for yourself, but not by yourself.
7. Describe your ideal franchisee.
We seek franchisees that are internally motivated, driven and passionate in life. We look for goal oriented individuals, who can dedicate time to their business while also managing time for their family. Planet Beach is a family, and we recognize the importance of a work-life balance. These individuals truly understand working hard and playing hard, while enjoying the freedom and empowerment that accompanies owning a Planet Beach.
8. Any words of wisdom to moms venturing out into business?
It's a very smart move! They should really take advantage of the opportunity to shape their family's destiny through owning their own business. It provides flexibility for a career mom; and as a Planet Beach franchisee, there is a proven business model with resources at your fingertips. You don't have to start from scratch. 8 out of 10 new businesses fail, but 9 out of 10 franchises succeed.
