Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory returned to practice Friday, but after limited work, the Cowboys list him as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Doctors diagnosed Gregory with a concussion during last week's game at Carolina.
He played 15 defensive snaps and one on special teams before leaving. Gregory had no statistics.
The Cowboys ruled out center Travis Frederick (illness), safety Xavier Woods (hamstring) and defensive tackle Datone Jones (knee).
Joe Looney will continue to start in Frederick's spot, and Kavon Frazier at free safety in place of Woods. Frazier (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Paolo Giordano I Orsini
Paolo Giordano Orsini (1541 – 13 November 1585) was an Italian nobleman, and the first duke of Bracciano from 1560. He was a member of the Roman family of the Orsini.
The son of Girolamo Orsini and Francesca Sforza, he was grandson, on his father's side, of Felice della Rovere (illegitimate daughter of Pope Julius II) and Gian Giordano Orsini and, on his mother's side, of Count Bosio Sforza and Costanza Farnese, an illegitimate daughter of Pope Paul III.
On 3 September 1558 he married Isabella de' Medici, daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, at Poggio a Caiano.[1] Paolo Giordano lived mostly in Rome and his castle at Bracciano, rather than with his wife, who stayed mostly at Florence. In 1571 he took part to the battle of Lepanto. A year later, in October 1572, he served as a general of the Spanish infantry, in a campaign that tried to reclaim the garrison of Navarino in the Peloponnese.[2]
On 16 July 1576 his wife died unexpectedly at the Medici villa of Cerreto Guidi during a hunting holiday. According to her brother, the grand duke Francesco I de' Medici, this occurred "while she was washing her hair in the morning ... She was found by Signor Paolo Giordano on her knees, having immediately fallen dead."[3] However, this official version of events was not generally believed, and the Ferrarese ambassador, Ercole Cortile, obtained information that Isabella was "strangled at midday" by her husband in the presence of several named servants.[4] Isabella was the second sudden death in an isolated country villa in the Medici family, her cousin Leonora having died of a similar "accident" only a few days before.[5] Most historians assume that Paolo Giordano killed his wife, in reprisal for carrying on a love affair with his cousin Troilo Orsini, or that he acted on instructions of Isabella's brother, the grandduke.[6] One scholar, Elisabetta Mori, has argued that Isabella de' Medici died of natural causes and that the rumour that Paolo Giordano murdered her was spread by enemies of the Medici.[7]
After these events Paolo Giordano returned to Rome, where he started a relationship with Vittoria Accoramboni, wife of Francesco Peretti, the nephew of the future Pope Sixtus V. Peretti was assassinated, it was believed by Paolo Giordano's order, in April 1581. Wanted by both the Papal and Florentine police, Paolo Giordano took refuge in northern Italy, first in Venice and then in Abano and Salò with his mistress, whom he married on 20 April 1585. He died at Salò on 13 November 1585.[8] On 22 December Vittoria was herself assassinated, by Ludovico Orsini of the Monterotondo line, on the instigation of Grand Duke Francesco.[9] The Medici (Francesco and Cardinal Ferdinando) wished to secure movable assets in possession of Vittoria for their nephew Virginio Orsini, Paolo Giordano's son from his first marriage and principal heir.

She danced.
she sang. she took.
she gave. she served.
she loved. she created.
she dissented. she enlivened.
she saw. she grew.
she sweated. she changed.
she learned. she laughed.
she shed her skin,
she bled on the pages of her days,
she walked through walls,
she lived her intention.
the quote above is named "Living Eulogy". think about that. i love that concept.
the first time i had read Maryanne Racmacher-Hershey's work was while shopping with a friend in Seattle at an artsy cardsy boutique in Green Lake. i will never forget it because i stood and stared in awe at the 8X10 cardstock with her beautifully placed words and painted designs up in the corner. the meaning of her words just jumped right out from the page and resonated with my heart. my friend and i left the store and she handed me a bag with one of Maryanne's poems in it. the very one that spoke to me. that was a brilliant moment.
speaking of "she's"...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Wednesday they have released veteran defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.
"I appreciate Albert playing for us after some key injuries this past season," general manager Mark Dominik said. "He was very professional and we now wish him all the best as he moves forward."
Haynesworth was claimed off waivers from New England in November, after Gerald McCoy suffered a season-ending injury and several other defensive linemen were banged up. Haynesworth played in seven games with six starts and recorded 25 tackles.
Read more of the story after the jumpBut it was obvious Haynesworth had no long-term future in Tampa Bay with McCoy returning to join Brian Price and Roy Miller.
Haynesworth had been scheduled to count $7.2 million against the 2012 salary cap. By releasing him, the Bucs will not have any cap charge for Haynesworth.

It is my 26th year of practicing as a chiropractor. That means I've been in this wellness space for a long time! Even with all that time helping others and applying wellness principles to my own life, I'm still learning.
One of the ways that I learn is through my podcast, Small Changes Big Shifts. Every week, I get to spend 20 minutes (or so) talking to some of the super smart people in the wellness space. They share with me and the listeners some of their best personal practices, what they are working on professionally, and what is interesting to them right now.
Recently, I featured Heidi Hanna on the podcast. You can listen to that episode here, and catch up on all of them here. Heidi said she makes time every single day for 3 things: movement, meditation, and mirth. I was so surprised that she said "mirth" was one of the must-have parts of her wellness routine.
I think we all love to laugh, but as soon as Heidi said it, I realized that I don't make laughing a very big priority in my day. I have all kinds of wellness practices, but humor isn't one of them.
Why Does Humor Matter?
Humor can have an impact on your mind and body, and it has a variety of measurable health benefits. In your mind:
- It relieves anxiety and tension
- It can be an outlet for anger and frustration
- It provides a healthy escape from reality
- It relieves stress
- It can increase your focus on a task
In your body:
- Humor can help you breathe deeply and clear your airways
- It can stimulate your heart rate and blood pressure, which then causes your cardiac system to relax
- It can boost your immune system
- It can relieve pain because it can help your muscles relax
- It massages internal organs, so it can help digestion
Humor actually goes beyond just physical benefits in your body. It has social benefits as well that can be just as powerful in relieving your stress.
- It lessens the hierarchy between people
- It helps to establish rapport
- It decreases the social gap
- It solidifies a group by developing connections between them
How Humor Can Make a Difference
I featured my friend, Emily Morgan, on one of my Small Changes Big Shifts videos. She showed resilience through one of her major life trials, and I'll let her share one of her stories from that time:
"In the last few days of 2014, I had two major surgeries. They left me in a lot of pain and my mom stayed with me for almost 6 weeks to take care of me. Sometime around week 5, I was laying on the couch and we were flipping through the channels. I hit one station just as they played the opening scene of Pitch Perfect. I stopped, thinking we'd watch for a minute until my mom was bored. We watched the entire movie. It was the first time we had laughed since the surgery.
For me, laughing made all the difference. I didn't think about it in these terms at the time, but I realized much later that hearing my mom laugh made me feel like the world wasn't ending. Her laughter reminded me that there was a world outside of my pain. I loved Pitch Perfect before (full confession), but it came at just the right time for both me and my mom."
How to Add Humor to Your Life
There are those things that make us laugh every time, no matter how many times we see or hear it. With Emily's example, she laughs at Pitch Perfect every time she sees it. Because this is often true, Heidi Hanna suggests keeping a collection of things that make you laugh. If a movie really makes you laugh, maybe it's the one you buy so that you can watch it anytime. You could create a Pinterest board of pictures that make you laugh, or have a folder of anything that makes you laugh.
As part of your collection, you could also get a daily calendar of jokes or cartoons. Keeping it on your desk could give you a way to fit humor into your daily routine. You can also choose to have a collection of movies and books that make you laugh that you can turn to on days that you need a boost.
Share humor with your friends and family. This has two great benefits: you'll firm up your bond with them and get a variety of humor because of everyone's different perspective.
Several years ago, I went to a Women's Conference in Kansas City. It spotlighted female business owners and entrepreneurs who are making a difference with their work. During one session, they taught us to do laughing yoga. I felt ridiculous! They had us walk in a circle and fake laugh, "Ha ha ha, hee hee hee, ho ho ho." That's really what we were supposed to say. After a few minutes, I started to really laugh at how silly I felt. Then I realized everyone else was laughing too, and some of them had such great laughs I just laughed harder. "Fake it till you make it" applies to laughter too.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Major streets running through the heart of Kalamazoo would be improved if the state of Michigan gave up control of them, city staff said.
A long-awaited contract with the Michigan Department of Transportation would give the city of Kalamazoo jurisdiction over busy traffic arteries and $11.6 million to maintain them. Tuesday, city planners presented an update on the deal, among other plans to improve transportation for motorists, pedestrians and other users.
The agreement would turn over control of M-43, Park Street, Westnedge Avenue, Stadium Drive, and portions of other smaller connecting streets to the city of Kalamazoo. Deputy City Manager Jeff Chamberlain said a draft contract is being reviewed in Lansing but could be approved by both parties by the end of the year.
"Transferring these roads to the city of Kalamazoo gives us a lot more flexibility than the state of Michigan has," Chamberlain said. "It also allows us to make some of these connections and improvements in the future, specifically to the neighborhoods and the campuses ... This gives us more of an opportunity to start making those changes."
The idea emerged from an MDOT planning study started in 2016. It sought to find ways to make state trunk lines through Kalamazoo safer.
Bridges over the Kalamazoo River and Portage Creek would remain under MDOT control.
Chamberlain said city and state officials looked at the condition of each of the roads "block by block" to determine how much Kalamazoo would need to spend on maintenance during the next decade. That number was estimated to be $11.6 million, though Chamberlain said MDOT would foot the bill.
Funds from the state would only be allowed to be used on roads included in the jurisdictional transfer. Chamberlain said the city budget should be able to handle maintenance after the 10 years are up.
Kalamazoo's public services department already fills in pot holes, shovels snow and performs other work through contracts with MDOT. This arrangement would continue in the future, Chamberlain said.
After acquiring the streets, the city will use traffic data from the state's study and conduct its own research to guide future changes. This research will begin in 2019, Chamberlain said.
"With these large state trunk lines running through many of our neighborhoods, it's very hard to get around," Chamberlain said. "With all the planning work that's been done, this will give us an opportunity to start meeting some of those needs identified through Imagine Kalamazoo."
Another informational meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the Kalamazoo Metro Transit building on 530 N. Rose St.
Through the Imagine Kalamazoo 2025 master plan and strategic vision process, non-motorized safety and accessibility were shown to rank highly among the concerns of residents. The most anticipated changes include slowing down traffic and converting one-way streets to accommodate traffic in both directions.
The master plan, adopted last year, calls pairs of parallel one-way streets, particularly Michigan and Kalamazoo avenues, "the greatest challenge for those who want to live, work and play downtown."
Chamberlain said converting streets from one-way to two-way traffic isn't as easy as repainting stripes on pavement. Intersections, traffic signals and signs would need to be reconfigured.
That effort is likely a few years away, he said.
Future changes would follow a complete streets policy presented in draft form Tuesday. Kalamazoo Neighborhood Activator Katie Reilly said the plan outlines how the city will design streets that can be used by everyone.
Each road project will be looked at as a way to apply complete streets design principles for the equity and safety of all users, she said.
All publicly and privately funded projects will be stacked against a checklist and reviewed by either city staff or a new committee. The checklist considers crash statistics, nearby transit connections, street capacity, pedestrian and bicycle facilities and other things.
After one year, a follow-up report will evaluate the project's impact on crashes, injuries, and fatalities, pedestrian and bicycle counts, vehicle miles traveled and satisfaction from residents.
Recommendations won't be considered where specific users are prohibited by law, if the cost is excessively disproportionate to the street's probable use and where where historic, cultural, or other artifacts would be harmed or destroyed in the process.
Projects and street improvements associated with developments will be reviewed during the site plan review process.
Other street projects will be reviewed by a committee comprised of seven or eight city employees. It will be assisted by an advisory committee of residents, advocates, and a planning commissioner.
The policy notes that the last half-century of transportation planning and design created many miles of "incomplete" streets within Kalamazoo. Areas of the city have no safe places to walk, bike, or access public transportation, it states.
It's resulted in streets that have a disproportionately harmful effect on "people of color, older adults, children, and those living in low-income neighborhoods," the policy states. Outside the obvious impacts to safety, Reilly said, people can be cut-off from jobs and healthcare, family and friends.
"The City of Kalamazoo envisions a connected network of safe streets that provides convenient access to all parts of the city," the policy states. "City streets are designed for equitable access, comfort, and mobility of any and all users regardless of ability, age, income, or race."
Reilly said Kalamazoo is considering an ordinance that would require vehicles to yield to pedestrians when crossing sidewalks. The City Commission could vote on the ordinance by the end of the year.

Xaviera, a native of Bridgeton, New Jersey, has loved music since she was a child and attributes her musical start to singing in her local church choir. At the tender age of 19, Xaviera relocated to Atlanta in pursuit of a career in music. It didn't take long for Xaviera to realize the music scene in the Black Music Mecca wasn't quite what she had imagined it to be. She laughs as she recalls, "I remember thinking I would run into Babyface in the produce aisle of the grocery store. I would sing for him and be signed to a deal on the spot. Over time, after growing frustrated and a bit discouraged, Xaviera decided to take a different route. "Why wait for an opportunity when you can create one for yourself"she asks. Xaviera spent the next couple of years educating herself on the ins and outs of the music business. In early 2004, Xaviera founded her own indie imprint - Sunshyne Music and released her debut album, Sunshine.

While most of what will appear on the CRI blog will be Delaware specific, there will be the occassional federally focused post.
There are some troubling aspects of the recent vote, the lead up to the vote, and the stimulus bill itself.
For starters, it has been reported that no member of Congress who actually voted for the bill, has stated that they read the actual bill. This is quite similar to the bond and budget bills here in Delaware. Often introduced in the waning days of session, these bills are passed without being read by the majority of the legislators or by the public.
The legislature has been given numerous opportunities to mandate that the budget and bond bills be introduced sooner. The first time HB 4 came up for a vote during the 144th General Assembly it was defeated by a vote of 22 to 17 with 3 legislators either not voting or absent. Fortunately, the bill passed the House the 2nd time around, following strong grassroots activism. Yet, it was desk drawer vetoed in the Senate.
In part, it is this type of non-disclosure the CRI seeks to help remedy in Delaware.

Discover Joe Colombo's Radical Living System
"Joe Colombo designed for society – a utopian vision of the future in colored plastic, modular and efficient." says R & Company Co-founder and Principal Evan Snyderman of the modern Italian designer whose Living System will greet visitors upon entering the 64 White Street gallery space in our upcoming exhibition Radical Living.
"What is remarkable about the present example of Colombo's Living System is that we acquired it from a family who purchased it at Macy's in New York in 1969, where it was exhibited on the 9th floor." explains R & Company Director of Museum Relations James Zemaitis, "The family kept a file of newspaper clippings which includes an interview by Rita Reif in the New York Times with Colombo, who made the journey to New York to promote the system at Macy's. In Reif's article, Colombo is interrupted by a couple of teenage boys, who proceed to test it out with Colombo's encouragement, one boy proclaiming that he liked it because "it's modern, not Colonial like what my sister has." concludes Zemaitis elucidating the novelty of the modular Living System's design for that time.
"We have collected and exhibited some of the rarest works of Colombo over the years," agrees Snyderman, "However, with this exhibition, we want you to live in it. Designing an entire bedroom or kitchen in one single piece of furniture was his mission yet only a handful of these iconic works were ever realized."

JWPMS students work on exhibit for Erie Art MuseumDecember 11, 2015, in Academics
James W. Parker Middle School seventh grade students are working on their exhibit for the 12th Annual Erie Art Museum Kids As Curators event.
Working with local painter Tom Ferraro, the students are creating pieces that focus around "Pop culture and Illusion." JWPMS students are using inspiration for their project from "The Veldt", a short story written by American author Ray Bradbury about a virtual reality room that gets out of control. Students are creating their own individualized shelves for one of the three parts to their exhibit.
The other parts include displaying their own 3D emojis, as well as incorporating emojis onto plastic balls for display.
Ferraro has been at the Middle School working with the art classes, as well as Mrs. Calfee and Mr. Williams' classes to incorporate the cross-curricular element.
Each year, 3-5 schools participate in this program where students conceptualize, design and ultimately build exhibits with the assistance of an artist in residence, provided in cooperation with Erie Arts & Culture. The exhibits are installed in the Hagen Family Gallery (formerly the main Customs House space).
The exhibit will be on display starting in January, with an opening reception at the Museum on March 11, during gallery night.

Videoblogging Week 2006 - Day 2: Spiritual
Lately I've been reading about the snake handling religions in the Appalachian region. I'm finding myself drawn to extreme acts of spirituality. The Gossip played here in Toronto last week and when I go to their shows I get that same feeling of letting go that I think the snake handlers feel. It's not all-consuming, but I do give myself up to just enjoying the ride that is Beth Ditto's voice.
Check out the Gossip's new album "Standing in the Way of Control" and see for yourself.

I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help comes from?
My help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth!
What a beautiful view of God's creation.
great for reflection, right?
Oh yes indeed 🙂
simply wonderful !!!
got nothing to do with it 😉 just took a couple of shots so i can look back & share the beauty with others. glad you liked it too!
Glad to see that you mentioned the Lord.
hi seeker! the Lord is due to be credited for everything unique. in Him we live, and move, and have our being so that others may find Him too 🙂
In this great big universe, amidst this pile of inhostipable planets and the coldness of space, there is just us, on this planet that seems to be built just for us. I don't know what it says about a single guiding force, but evidence is evidence. This place seems to be build only for us. There are no mountains like that on Mars.
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?"
I don't know about them, can't we just seize the day & enjoy God's unique works?
Absolutely beautiful! Both the picture and the verse you used! Did I miss it, or did you already say…where was this picture taken?
hello & thanks! it's the Chocolate Hills in Carmen, Bohol, Philippines. it's taking me awhile but i intend to feature our trip there here ",)
Well…who doesn't like chocolate!!?! That's great! I'm looking forward to more pictures!
Unique landscape, to be sure, goes perfectly with the Scripture. 🙂

June 20th: I'm verified. "**Verification successful! You may now enjoy the features and functionalities of Paycent. If you have any concerns, e-mail us at email@example.com. Thank you for trusting Paycent, where every sent matters! Sincerely, Your Paycent Team"*
July 19th: Mastercard received but it's not functioning – can't assign PIN through mobile application. Mastercard NOT ACTIVATED, not matter they said they are about to activate it. Same day, they requested my passport again, no matter I'm already verified. "We are about to activate your Paycent Solitaire Card, in order for us to do so, kindly note as per our records, your: · Passport should be a whole document. Please send the document to us as soon as possible by attaching it on your email response, so that we can get your card activated by our bank. Thank you in advance for your prompt action. Sincerely, Your Paycent Team"
August 3th: They requested my proof of address again no matter I was already verified, I supplied it.
August 25: They suggested, and I accepted they replace Mastercard with UPayInternational (UPI) debit card. To this day (Nov 11), I did not receive it. "Your card order is now updated and changed to UPI. Please wait for the bank to complete their verification process and activate the card. I trust I've explained everything clearly. Please let us know if you need any more information. Kind regards, Liam B. Customer Experience Team"
September 10th: They said they will activate UPI virtual card – not activated to this day. "Thank you for letting us know about your recent experience with Paycent. I apologize if our service did not meet your expectations, and I appreciate you taking time to share your concerns. For the delivery of UPI, we actually rely on our partner bank as they are the one's who distributes the card that we ship. Please note that we deliver the cards by batches. Since I have checked that your document is okay, I will make a follow up for them to speed up the activation of your virtual card so you can at least use the card for online transactions. Thank you for being patient on the matter. For additional questions, please do not hesitate to respond on this email. Sincerely, Jen S. Customer Experience Team"
I made a huge mistake exchanging 10 ETH on their platform which are essentially inaccessible now. Can't spend them, can't convert them back to crypto.
October 25th: They offered China UPay card. I rejected it, and said I want my money back (card issuance fee + USD worth 10 ETH I have in my account. They requested my BTC address, I gave it the same day. I still received nothing.
November 1st: They said they will give my BTC back in 5 working days. Those days passed – nothing happened, they still owe me my money: "I have raised your concern to our Finance Team for immediate handling and was advised that the full refund will be processed within 5 working days. Kindly note Saturday & Sunday are non-working days in order to set your expectations right. Rest assured that we are taking immediate actions on your concern. Thank you for understanding. Sincerily, Jansen M. Customer Experience Team"
Make your own conclusions. From my perspective, it's at least selective scamming tactics of prolonging and lying. And now I'm left only with my time and will to let everyone know. You will find this post everywhere. Thanks!

The Hidden Truth on Real Estate Definition Exposed
The influence on the Commercial Real Property market could be substantial and could have a significant influence on business tenants and landlords. David Nebiker, Managing Accomplice of ProTenant (a business actual estate agency that focuses on aiding Denver and regional firms to strategize, develop, and implement long-term, complete facility solutions) added "this proposed change not only effects the tenants and landlords, but brokers as it increases the complexity of lease agreements and supplies a robust impetus for tenants to execute shorter term leases".
When wholesaling actual estate or investing in Chicago properties, knowing the style is necessary when looking at comparable properties. Many wholesalers who start out do not know much past your typical bungalow and suppose any 3 bedroom home can be in comparison with another. A four bed bungalow is certainly going to go for greater than a 4 bedroom Georgian as soon as it is repaired, why? The bungalow will usually have extra square footage and a bigger basement. Figuring out these types and how they look may also help you determine a better ARV as well as determine if it's a "deal". The most well liked promoting neighborhoods in Chicago are going to be selling a brick property. The commonest styles for the brick properties are Bungalow, Ranch/Raised Ranch, Georgian, and Cape Cod.
The lower the BPO, the better the bargaining value.
Website decide-in varieties are common place now and will function on all your foremost website pages the place individuals first land. In this means you'll gather the enquiry mechanically for your database. The website generated enquiry should then be bounced to your database and workplace immediately for response and follow up. The opt-in kind content material you employ on your web site ought to be thought-about and planned. The content you capture must be that which you want for the enquiry observe up, but you may also need phone numbers and a few detail of the property they require.
4. I would advise ordering a credit report when they apply. You not only learn quite a bit about the tenant's credit score historical past, however you are additionally double checking the social security number. In case you ever have to evict them and also you get a judgment for the cash they owe you, you know the social safety number is correct if you want to send it to a collections company and try to acquire on the judgment. That is one tip I don't hear talked about often, most likely because not many individuals go after them. However it's something we're working on doing to see if it should pay off!

As an illustration, if you want to take a mortgage out for $200,000, but have a credit score rating of 430, you would want to apply for a very bad credit mortgage loan. These loans are for folks with horrible credit, seeking to re-establish themselves financially. The issue is that these loans will normally be 4-6 % increased than a person with excellent credit would pay. Over the life of a 30 yr mounted charge loan, for $200,000, a person who needs to pay 5% extra then the prime fee can be dropping about $275,000 over 30 years.
That is the chook's eye view of the whole gross sales transaction and consummation of buying a foreclosed property. It could really, certainly, sound easy. A word of precaution though, it can always be advisable to have a real property practitioner or an actual property authorized counsel in tow when engaging in this sort of negotiations.
One other major benefit of vendor financing is the saving of the closing prices for both the customer and the seller. The events can negotiate the interest rate and reimbursement schedule; they can agree to a deal that benefits both events essentially the most. Nevertheless, flat paint is harder to wash than paint with a sheen or gloss.

The first day I met Mrs. Maya was also the first day I felt pure hatred for my name.
I'm no psychologist, but its subconscious human nature I guess. If we share a name with a famous scientist, a movie star, a sports person or even a newly born baby, we feel thrilled with pleasure.
But in an unfortunate twist of fate, should our name match with a person who is a social disturbance, someone who breaks all the notions of the very simple south Indian lifestyle, we know a tragedy is to befall the relationship we share with them.
I was a very quiet, academically oriented simpleton who always wore very formal wear, had my hair tied into a neat pony tail and had zero make up on. Everyone on campus identified me, Maya Balan, as a docile and tame creature with an addiction for good science and an aversion for mathematics.
Mrs. Maya Ravinder, however, arrived on campus as a Glamour Grenade.
She wore shimmering transparent designer sarees that had chic and dangerously low blouses, very sharp pointed heels, matching modish accessories and a party style make up every day. The most outstanding attribute of her makeup was the flashy bright red lipstick that was in an alarming contrast with her pale, fair skin and light hazel eyes.
Nobody liked Mrs. Maya.
She was one of those few women who are capable of creating hate at first sight with everybody she met.
To add up to all that already prominent hatred, she also handled the most dreaded subject in all of Engineering. Digital Signal Processing also known as DSP among staff and as Degree Stopping Paper among the students.
'The Fourier transform is like the Saviour of your engineering career.' She'd say in a very low husky voice that invoked the curiosity of the boys and the disgust of the girls.
Most of the boys called her 'The goddess of the frequency domain'. I understood she was just good eye candy for them.
The first thing I hated about her was the alarmingly red lipstick she always wore. It was just red every day. Her sarees, blouse patterns, stilettos and her other accessories constantly kept changing, but the lipstick never changed. It was either gloss the one day or matte the other but still alarmingly red nevertheless.
The second thing was the intoxicatingly sweet fragrance of her strong perfume. It lingered around the room even after she left the class.
'What a sick attention seeking witch' Rabitha murmured to me after she walked out of the class.
'Yeah' I sighed. At least Rabitha wasn't named Maya. She did not have to deal with the emotional turmoil of the identity crisis that had befallen on me.
Despite everything, there was a voice somewhere at the back of my head that told me something grim lay behind those deep kohl-lined eyes. That she was covering up a very scarred and broken soul in the chemical security of cosmetics. That she had a thick stroke of grief in hidden beneath that red lipstick.
Three months passed and we had finished our first internal tests.
'I'll fail'
I told Rabitha without the slightest hint of regret as we walked out of the examination hall. Mathematics was the villain in my ECE career. If DSP's composition was to be defined in a measure of three ingredients, it was mathematics, more mathematics and a little more mathematics.
'You'll fail?' She echoed in fake disbelief. 'That I guessed when I saw the question paper. By how many marks is my question?'
I ignored her question and waved at an acquaintance that walked past us.
'That witch is sure to give me a zero.' I said later, in the middle of the third hour.
'You wrote that bad, Maya?' Rabitha was frustrated. She hated it when I took my academics for granted.
'Well, I wrote just enough crap to get me through.' I confessed honestly. 'But have you seen the way she looks at me? She hates me. I'm sure she'll give me a zero or a single digit mark if she's in a good mood.'
Rabitha did not argue further. She knew I had a point there.
It was DSP hour right next to lunch and we sat there figuring out a way to dismantle the steel windows, jump out and run away from the humiliation that was waiting for us. Even the studious Rabitha was sure she would be butchered. So were the forty other souls in the class.
Mrs. Maya made a theatrical entrance.
She swayed in gracefully, her hair entailed a ballet like movement as she strode in through the door, her flimsy saree leaning carelessly off her shoulders and the very subtle pout in her lips were managing to nullify the tension and cruelty of the bundle of papers in her hand.
'Bury me alive, Rabi'
I begged to my best friend. I was not ready to face the humiliation in front of the entire class.
'I will, if you promise to put a dagger through my heart first.'
Rabitha's voice was quivering.
It was only then I realised that this time, I would not be alone. Even people like Rabitha and nerdy Joseph, who were in an intimate relationship with Mathematics, were scared to death. I concluded that the teaching process was flawed. I felt cynically better.
Failing alone is one thing, but failing with the entire class is completely different. That's the malice of DSP. It would repel even the most dedicated student.
She placed the bundle of booklets on the table.
She called out the roll numbers and handed the papers to every student without making any extra comments. She did not even mention the marks.
For the first time since I met her, I liked her manners. She had saved me from mortification.
Few seconds later, after she called out for roll number twenty- six, I liked her yet again. This time at a greater intensity.
She had passed me, and given me a sixty percentile.
Had we been alone, I would've bowed down to her and said 'All hail the goddess of frequency domain.'
Rabitha had received an eighty percent. She was relieved, but not particularly satisfied. She was a straight-ninety student at all other subjects and from the look on her face, I could say she was planning a reschedule on her study plan.
As for me, I was gleaming for the rest of the day and the entire week.
Then, all of a sudden, something went horribly wrong the next week.
The glamour quotient of Mrs. Maya had come down dangerously low. The Bollywood style designer wear was replaced with simple light coloured cotton sarees. The large eyes were not lined with kohl, exposing the hollow emptiness in it. Her hair was not its lush bouncy self, but tied into a limp low pony. There were no traces of perfume. She smelt of fresh fabric.
However the lipstick was still there.
Just the same alarming red, in gloss or matte or both. It was now an odd contradiction to the makeup free dull face. It did not blend with the rest of her.
She sounded gloomy, her voice was now depressing.
It was none of my business, but I couldn't help wondering what could have happened to this otherwise beautiful nymph that now made her look like an ambassador of misery. It was like an improvised version of the Stockholm's Syndrome. I was beginning to miss what I had previously hated. I had grown comfortable with her Camera ready smile and her Ramp ready make-up.
'She seems pretty depressed, no?' I asked Rabitha, trying to sound casual and emotionally detached. But I wasn't.
'Maybe her boyfriend dumped her.' Rabitha was trying to concentrate on the class.
'Maybe her millionth boyfriend dumped her for the millionth time' Arjun, the guy who sat next to me, towed into the conversation.
A tuft of anger surged into me. My friend was bad-mouthing the teacher who had almost saved my degree. I wanted to kill him.
'Like how you dumped those billion girls?' I snapped at him. He turned away, murmuring something back, low enough for me to not hear.
'Gossip cat.' I said sharply even after he turned around. He acted like he didn't hear that.
'Rabi, you think she's sick or something?' I asked yet again, not being able to hold back the concern.
'I don't know Maya' came a tired reply.
'Maybe she's in trouble?'
'I don't know Maya'
'You think she's being abused at work?'
'I don't know Maya'
'Is her job at stake? What if she is going to be fired?'
'I don't know Maya'
'You think it would be okay if I talk to her after class?'
'I don't know Maya!!'
There was an edge of annoyance in her voice that told me I had to stop with the questions. I went back to scribbling down whatever was on the board into my note.
I felt guilty, distressed and miserable for Mrs. Maya Ravinder.
This woman was dealing with something horridly cruel. She did not deserve to deal with it in loneliness. I knew nobody on campus talked to her with concern. She was an icon of social adultery. The over dose of make-up was, according to the simple psyche of the Madurai people, a reflection of bad moral fibre.
I walked into her cabin later that evening. She was packing to leave.
'Mrs Maya?' I said, already regretting what I was doing. 'Can I talk to you for a second?'
She looked up and gave me an empty smile.
'Sure, Maya.' She sounded exhausted. 'Walk in, dear.'
'Well, ma'am' I said wondering how to start. 'You know, my fundamentals in Laplace and Fourier transforms are really very weak.'
She nodded. She had obviously noticed it.
'Well, I was..uh…wondering if you could give me a little few classes sometime like uh…later in the evening..so as to polish my grades?'
I was blurting out fast. I felt awkward. She must've thought I needed speech therapy.
'Sure.' She was still smiling. 'Here's my address. Drop in whenever you like.'
I hopped out of the room.
I dropped in by her house that very evening. It was a beautiful, cozy little apartment in the heart of the city. The apartment looked just like her. Chic, well groomed, attractive and neatly maintained.
'Ah, Maya!' her intimately deep voice called out to me as she welcomed me in. 'Come on in, darling.'
I walked in with a smile.
It was only few seconds later that I noticed a heart crushing detail. The smile faded away and anguish took its place.
Mrs. Maya was completely makeup free now. No lush hair, No kohl lined eyes, no blush, no concealer, no mascara and for the first time ever, no red lipstick.
What the lipstick less lips looked like was something I had not prepared myself for.
A deep cut, extending from the corner of her lower lip to her upper lip, dangerously exposing the damaged cerise flesh underneath, caught me off guard and made me stumble.
I felt mean, not because I couldn't stop starring. I felt mean because I had judged her the wrong way for an entire semester.
My heart filled with heavy soreness. My eyes welled up. I imagined the pain she must've gone through when her lips tore apart, as a result of whatever barbaric action she had been subjected to.
'I'm sorry Mrs. Maya' I said as I sat down. It was the only thing I could manage to say. 'I'm really very sorry.'
I gulped, trying to send down the lump in my throat.
She did not ask why. She understood. She was probably aware of what was going on behind her back.
That made me sicker.
She was aware and yet she had done nothing to justify herself.
'That's okay, honey.' Her intimately deep voice now sounded soft and innocent.
She handed me a cup of coffee and started the lessons immediately. I couldn't concentrate. I had decided not to.
I asked her, starring down at the books and not meeting her eyes.
'I had one choice at selecting the ideal life-partner for me. I ruined that single shot, which in turn, ruined me.'
She summed up her whole life in a single sentence. An abusive husband.
It sounded alien to me, given that I had come from a very perfectly balanced family where the highest issue of clash would be not putting enough sugar in the coffee. Though it sounded alien to me, I could feel the agony of it all through her hollow eyes.
She had walked out, with her then four year old son, to live away from the danger her marriage imposed on her son. I shrunk deeper into my guilt as I heard the tragic tale of her life.
'My education saved me.' she said in her former cheerful self, as if she had sensed my guilt.
'Is he here?' I cleared my throat.
'Oh, yes.' Mrs. Maya's eyes glistened with pride.
'Can I see him?'
'Sure, dear.' She got up and led my across the hall. 'He's a little sick today, so he's asleep.'
She opened the door and I was inside a room that looked like it had jumped out alive from a Raja Ravi Verma Painting. There were little pieces of art that hung on the wall, each perfect in its own way to be a master piece.
'He's an artist?' I asked her. She nodded with pride. The hollowness in her eyes had temporarily vanished.
I spotted a skinny thirteen year old boy, in sound sleep.
Only a little later, did I notice the cluster of equipment next his bed that was wired into him. I turned around to Mrs. Maya in alarm.
'The machines do the breathing for him' her eyes moistened. 'He was diagnosed with a lung disorder last month.'
It all made sense now. It was not a sickness, it was not the after math of an abusive relationship, it was not a job at stake, and it was definitely not a boy friend that had dumped her.
It was a son who was battling death.
I couldn't hold on to it anymore. The flood gates opened.
'I'm sorry Mrs. Maya' I wept 'I'm really very sorry'
She saw me collapse, rushed to me and held me tight. I cried and she was still calmly composed.
'How did you endure being misunderstood for so long?' I asked after I had pulled myself back together.
'Maya, it's a miracle called love. I'm ready do anything; I would give up everything, my own life included, so that I could have my son in my life for one more day.' She said.
'People talking behind my back is barely a price that's worth my precious little hero's life.'
I involuntarily pulled her into a hug. I was proud of the assertiveness and the fearless love she portrayed.
'Don't you hold any regrets?' I enquired a little later. 'At all?'
She thought for a second.
'I do have one.' She said as her eyes locked into a distant memory. 'My marriage has had its effects on his confidence.'
I waited for her to continue.
'Nine years of independence, and still he can't sleep without feeling insecure.'
I understood. Every kid deserved a healthy dose of secure feeling. But there was another thought that was bothering me.
'Well, we have a much more shameful situation at hand' I said.
Mrs. Maya Ravinder keenly looked up at me. I continued, starring at her broken lip with lamentation.
'Sixty six years of independence and still we hide scars with lipstick.'

I discovered this of Youtube today. Anybody has seen it before? It's a edited, best-off montage of a "science movie" called Creation Adventure Science Team that reveals the truth about dinosaurs - they were created on Day 6, just like man, aren't billions of years old, and actually, still live today, but they are hidden away by an evil science conspiracy!
I just can't understand of these things even get made.

A couple weeks ago, Lorraine Fukumae approached me to shoot some photos of her listing at the Price Lunalilo condominium. Located at 1074 Lunalilo St., this one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit was pretty straight forward. I rented a tilt-shift lens and a flash for this one, and headed over.

First impressions are everything, and your website is often your first chance to make a great impression with a potential client or fan. Unfortunately, most website portfolios are pretty rough. I will try to skip the obvious and avoid telling you about having a nice design or great work, instead lets focus on some of the things that are a lot less obvious but also super important when it comes to putting your best foot forward.
1. Your Website Loads an Entire Gallery Before Showing the First Image
Load speed is critical. The longer you force a user to wait before showing them the content they seek the more likely they will be gone before the content even shows up. One of the biggest mistakes many photography websites make is that when a user visits a gallery the gallery presents a nice load bar while it preloads the 20-plus high-quality images in the gallery. This is a brutal way to slow your website down considerably and frustrate the viewer. Instead, look for a website template or gallery system that loads only the first image or two to show right away so that it can load the rest in the background while the visitor is taking a look at the first images.
Also, make sure your images are optimized for web to look great but not bog down the load with too much data. I recommend using a third-party JPG compressor to squeeze as much compression out of your photos as possible without sacrificing visible image quality. Personally, I use ImageOptim which seems to compress far better than Photoshop's "Save For Web" tool without sacrificing quality.
2. You Make the User Work to Find Your Images
Never make the user hunt to find your work. Forcing a user to drag their cursor through vague categories, into sub-categories, and beyond is a frustrating experience for the user. If you have so many images that you need multi-tier organization you are doing something wrong. I wouldn't recommend more than three or four different categories which are all accessible via the main navigation of your website. Seeing your work should never be more than a single click away from the homepage.
3. You Create the Illusion That You Are Much Bigger Than You Are
The instinct to brand yourself as some sort of superstar photographer who travels the world conducting fabulous shoots can be quite tempting, but it is actually an anchor on your brand if it is a lie. Local, smaller clients may be impressed but also intimidated. That image of a superstar gives smaller clients the impression that you are too big for them. Furthermore, bigger clients who an international superstar photographer would actually work with already know whether you are one or not, so if you pretend to be one when you are not you only serve to make the first impression of dishonesty.
Brand yourself as the photographer you are. Don't write "international photographer" unless you frequently travel internationally for paying clients. Instead be forthcoming about your location so that clients in your area can feel comfortable hiring you. Most importantly, don't make clients jump through hoops to contact you, instead make the contact process as hassle-free as possible. Give them an email and a phone number, don't make them fuss through contact forms with CAPTCHAs.
4. Your Website Is a Disaster on Mobile Devices
This isn't 1999, the web has changed. Most users are now browsing on mobile rather than desktop. Your website will likely be serving itself to mobile users over 60 percent of the time; you can't afford to have a website that only works on desktop. Gone are the days when a website that scales "OK" can do the job. Mobile needs to be made as much or more of a priority as your full-size website. Go look at your website on your phone right now, does it look amazing? If not, you need to make changes now.
Having a great website is more than within reach of everyone these days. You no longer have an excuse for not having a great website that gives a great first impression. Get to work and make sure your website lets your images do the talking. Don't let a crappy website drag down an otherwise sensational portfolio. You have the power, hop to it!

I think this is good advice, and I follow it myself.
But it seems like the new norm on the web is to load down commercial sites with so much advertising that they're flat out impossible to navigate on mobile devices and take ages on keyboard machines. Pretty much every photographer's site is a cakewalk compared to most commercial sites these days.
Slideshows! I frackin hate slide shows! If i want to see your images, i want to see them at my pace. And music, i don't want to hear your crappy choice in music!
Nice article. There's a little more to optimizing a slideshow (without sacrificing image quality) than mentioned here though. For example, the slideshow solution I use displays the first image immediately, and then it loads the remaining images in the background. It is seamless solution from a user perspective.
One thing that should really be emphasized is #4 (mobile users). Having a mobile ready web site is critical, not only i terms of the user experience, but also from a search ranking perspective. I manage several web sites, and I can tell you (from first hand experience) that the majority of people visiting these web sites are now using mobile devices.
ImageOptim's website says it removes metadata? Is that all metadata?
That's cool I'm sure its tweak-able. Thanks for the tip going to download it now...

Kawasaki India has set the arrangements of gears to undertake the classic act of presenting the segment of motorcycles in India 2019.
The soul moves at a faster speed deep in the 2019 Kawasaki W800 evocative classic motorcycle like never before, with every individual rev, its nature of icons heritage is not likely to be confused with something else. Maintaining the original existence of the indigenous classic style, it demands identical respect as it did a long time ago. A veracious icon at no time in the past or future dies, and the Kawasaki W800 is more flourishing than at any time before.
The W800 is a successor to the company's having lived for a long time with 'W' progression motorcycles. It uses to emphasize the basic a vertical twin. A vertical twin is having a resemblance to a parallel twin but with a distinct firing order. It also has a 360-degree crank angle over the existing of a traditional part180 degree. This means both the pistons will involve rise and fall to achieve fields at the same time.
The difference in the Looks
The branch of geometry relating to the point looks identical, which is to say, somewhat sportier than a cruiser, the wheels and tires are of the same size, so they should indicate the features of the handle at the same time. One particular part calculated where they are unlike is in weight; with the Cafe boast an extra 5lbs or so (489.4lbs), as stated in the manufacturer published dry weights where both bikes are firmly established. The W800 Street has a lower seat height of 30.3 inches, with more advanced handlebars with not much fairing. It also deprived about four and a half pounds collate to the Cafe version. Remark that is intended from those changes, there aren't many differences in a point or a way excluding the styling department. The paint organized plans are different, with the W800 Street acquiring mostly black paint with a few silver and chrome accents. It is a stunning machine with attractive in traditional way overall. If you believe Kawasaki W800 Cafe is an over-the-top for you, then W800 Street is the perfect settlement.
Design and Features
The noticeable styling and performance cues comprise minimalistic relating to front and rear fenders, with the latter not forming a curve downwards as you would generally connect in one's mind with a classic motorcycle. The fashionable design of the W800 is as classical as it gets recognition for a round headlamp, spoke wheels, fork gaiters, curvaceous fuel tank, and flat saddle. Denoting a bound clause to the retro charm is the twin-pod analog instrument console with chrome bezel, faux carburetor, and chrome-finished twin peashooter pipes. The single seat unit remains outright surface level for the pillion and curves downwards for the rider.
Kawasaki W800 Street moves into a place of thought with the standard handlebar, pleasant feel of the ribbed seat for two and standard round headlight. The console remains in the same place purely on retro-focused, with the left pod acquiring analog speedometer and digital odometer while right approaching with a beautiful tachometer and other lights.
Engine and Performance
To a greater distance of time highlight the high points for retro nature of the motorcycle, it is maneuvered an older bevel gear cam drive. Powering machine with energy and ability to operate the Kawasaki W800 is the same 773cc, air-cooled motor as seen on its forerunner. The twin-cylinder engine manufactures a self-effacing 48.1PS at 6,500rpm and 62.9Nm of torque at 4,800rpm. Transmission responsibilities are specified by a 5-speed unit with slipper clutch. Eye-Catching attention features the power plant by a 360-degree crank, this means both the pistons will involve rise and fall to achieve fields at the same time. Kawasaki declares that these processes of setting material not only gives the W800 a distinct exhaust note but also make it easier to deliver better low- and mid-range torque. Furthermore, the engine has been furnished with a bevel gear-operated cam to add to its old-school charisma.
Kawasaki is yet to disclose the components for the motorcycle, with only relating to tangible commodities guesses to be made at this point. The front and rear brakes are obtainable with ABS while tires were kept with the level of attainment for both the models. The front suspension is telescopic in comparison with the fact that rear gets dual springs. The action of owing the legacy alive, Kawasaki is featuring orange indicators on the W800.
Cost Revealed
The Kawasaki W800 will arrive at our country via the CKD route and is regarded as likely to be priced around Rs 7 Lakh. It is believed to make its India debut by mid-2019 and will be establishing superiority in opposition of Triumph Street Twin and at much reasonably priced Royal Enfield 650 twins.
It is a particular value by taking into consideration that Kawasaki has pulled off comparable nature by characterizing competitive pricing which has been happening for a few of its models, and set upon a particular pressure of competing with the all-new Royal Enfield's, we may just see Kawasaki give the W800 preferably aggressive pricing. We presume to see the bike go on sale with the availability of the market in the upcoming months, of 2019.
Model Variant
The Kawasaki W800 will be available in two different variants – Street and Cafe. The Cafe model features a cowl circling the headlights and sportier seats to give it a cafe racer reckon expression. The W800 is manufactured on a large scale in Thailand and will come to India via the CKD route. This action will differ in the price slightly on the higher side.

text: 'Bodyguard' star Salman Khan, who underwent a surgery in US recently to cure himself from Trigeminal Neuralgia (a nerve disorder that causes intense pain) is facing problems again. Apparently the level of pain after his surgery abroad had only gone down by 30 percent. But when he resumed work recently it went from bad to worse. Post surgery Sallu has been on his toes shooting for Kabir Khan's next project 'Ek Tha Tiger' opposite ex-flame Katrina Kaif. He shot for the film in cold weather conditions in Dublin which has lead to him facing health issues again. He will be going back again for another round of treatment soon. The actor confirmed, "My pain, which had subsidized post surgery, has increased to 60 to 70 percent because of the cold weather in Dublin where I am shooting for my film. I have difficulty and feel intense pain while talking. I will be going back for the second round of surgery in another three months."

Morality VERY Broadly
Medicine, education, judicial system… morality is relevant not only towards any direct purpose but also in how things are done. This may be seen as the deeper purpose.
Morality being about 'relief of suffering' – of oneself and others [see 'Morality Is the Relief of Suffering'] – it is relevant in many domains, including in many ways that are not immediately obvious.
Morality being about 'depth', one can see this everywhere humans are involved. There is no conscious human without a huge degree of depth. Of course, since this is mainly nonconscious, one doesn't readily see it in a conscious way. Thus we lead conscious lives as though it's not there. At the same time, our own depth is present in every action, every feeling, every thought.
Including in every bit of how we morally act, feel, think.
This is about a direct relief of suffering, as well as in how people are made (invited, incentivized) into beings that to a higher degree relieve suffering.
Example: medicine
Medicine used to be about curing disease. It still is, to many. In 1948 (!), the World Health Organization proclaimed a definition of 'health' – and striving towards it – incorporating well-being. A giant step.
I take it one (giant) step further, incorporating depth. One can strive towards superficial well-being and at the same time get into a deep depression which is in the make during and maybe even because of the superficiality. So, in order to be realistic, the definition of 'health' should include depth.
In medicine as everywhere, this is related to the deeper purpose.
A superficial purpose may be to relieve symptoms (less pain, less eczema…) without taking into account anything else but the symptom as it shows. However, many symptoms being 'psycho-somatic' in nature, they are just, well, symptoms of something deeper.
My contention is that the latter is also hugely important in the suffering (present and future) of the patient, as well as how this patient will act further on in the world and have influence on many others. This influence may be provoked consciously and nonconsciously. It's about causation/relief of suffering. It's about morality.
Example: education
A main purpose is to come to morally good human beings who also have the means to be effective as such. One can try to instill morality by giving the rules of good conduct. This hardly works, as has been shown a bazillion times.
So, here too, depth needs to be taken into account
not as a sidekick but incorporated into the educational effort itself. Of course, as a starters, through the example of the teacher. Also, in how the student is supposed to use his brain while learning. For instance, learning something 'by heart' may be a mechanical act, or it may indeed involve 'the heart'. The difference is huge: the latter is a more meditative stance. The new info is not just poured into the brain/mind, but also organically changes it in due ways, strengthening it and inviting 'growth' as total human being. Nothing enters our mind without possible consequences of growth. Of course, I know this is seldom taken into account.
Example: judicial system
Someone did a moral wrong. 'Punishment' as we know it does not have as goal: going into depth. Should it? I definitely think so.
To me, a judicial system without 'depth' bears little morality.
This is of course not about being lenient or not. It's not about the victimizer being more – nor less – valued as the victim. Both are human beings with 'depth'. Both deserve 'depth' to be taken into account. Also the possible future victims are important, as well as all people concerned. Precisely for these purposes, working with depth is not only needed. It is necessary. It doesn't alienate us from the real purpose. It IS the real purpose.
It starts with insight. I hope this text has brought you some.
In general, the purpose of AURELIS is to provide at least partial answers to the concrete how-to. If you want to cooperate towards this, please use it.

Page 11 - Heart Failure Guidelines
Pediatric Heart Failure Guidelines
• Side Effects: include dizziness, 1 degree AV block, edema, bradycardia, hypotension
& vasodilation.
• Special Considerations: Should not be used in patients with WPW; Avoid use in
patients with systolic heart failure
Digoxin causes inhibition of the sodium/potassium ATPase pump in myocardial cells results in a
transient increase of intracellular sodium, which in turn promotes calcium influx via the sodium-
calcium exchange pump leading to increased contractility. May improve baroreflex sensitivity.
There is retrospective data suggesting improved outcomes in patients between Stage 1 and
Stage 2 palliation of single ventricles and the post-hoc analysis of prospective data (The Dig
Trial) showing decreased hospitalization and decreased mortality in patients with lower digoxin
levels. Controversy continues to exist despite being in clinical use for almost 250 years!
• Indication: include symptomatic ventricular dysfunction. Digoxin may also be used in
SVT and other arrhythmias with the input of EP.
• Side Effects: include heart block (1 , 2 and 3 degree), ST segment depression, atrial
tachycardia, anxiety, dizziness, headache, blurry or yellow vision, vomiting, nausea, and
• Special Consideration: Digoxin has a low therapeutic index, monitoring for side effects
should occur frequently and include routine ECG evaluation. In the setting of suspected
or confirmed acute digoxin toxicity, patients may be treated with Digibind (see table).
Loop (furosemide, bumetanide) and thiazide (Chlorothiazide, Metolazone) diuretics are used to
treat congestive heart failure. Adult studies indicate that diuretics do not improve outcomes in
heart failure. However they may be helpful in reducing heart failure congestive symptoms.
Given in combination they act synergistically. Tolvaptan is a vasopressin antagonist and is
useful when the serum sodium is low.
• Indications: congestive heart failure
• Side Effects: include uremia, hypokalemia, renal Insufficiency, kidney stones.
• Special Considerations: renal insufficiency from spironolactone and ACE-inhibitors can
be exacerbated with diuretics

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- SK Holdings Co., the holding firm of South Korean energy and telecom conglomerate SK Group, said Thursday its artificial intelligence platform has successfully found the right cover letter in a flash, a technology that could ease the burden of human resources officials.
Last year, Aibril Employment Helper evaluated 10,000 cover letters of people applying for jobs at SK hynix Inc., the chip-making unit of SK Group, in eight hours, or just less than three seconds per cover letter.
In comparison, evaluations of 10,000 cover letters by 10 human resources officials usually take about 56 hours, according to SK Holdings.
Aibril has been optimized based on Watson, IBM's artificial intelligence platform.
The margin of error between the outcome of the Aibril platform and the manual evaluation by human resources officials was less than 15 percent.
The company said it will continue to update Aibril Employment Helper with cover letters of new job seekers to enhance the accuracy of the assessment.
"We've focused on the evaluation of self-introduction letters this time," said Lee Kyu-seok of SK Holdings, noting the company will refine the system so it can help assign successful applicants to their optimal positions.
