...bottom line. But owning Rolls-Royce gives BMW some intangible benefits: prestige and bragging rights. It proves it can sell cars that sweep the breadth of the market, from budget to budget-busting. To be sure, if the world's economy sputters and all car sales go off a cliff, and if BMW's profits were to take a major hit, "Rolls-Royce would probably be the first thing to go," Rhys says. But for now, like that iconic spirit of ecstasy that makes up its hood ornament, Rolls-Royce looks poised to speed ahead...
...want tranquillity, there's no better place than standing on the cliff-top green on the par-three 13th hole of the Cliffs at Glassy and staring out for a hundred miles. Woods has a similar mountaintop meadow in which to carve his vision. At 4,000 ft., this nearly mile-high club will be built for walking, emphasizing the wellness mantra that Cliffs Communities founder Jim Anthony says defines the communities there.

And the learning was literal, as the through line of the series was son Theo Huxtable's struggles with dyslexia. (The plot became poignant with the 1997 murder of Cosby's son Ennis, on whom Theo was based.) It's a sign of how quickly Cosby changed TV that...
...Outside of cardiac arrest and the injection of ketamine, NDE-type phenomena can occur in many circumstances, including fainting spells, serious disease and in the seconds before potentially catastrophic accidents, like falling off a cliff. While that doesn't suck the mystery from the phenomenon, it does suggest that NDEs are a flawed pointer to what might await us in death as opposed to the process of dying or a really hairy moment...
