HOLD ME Lyrics
Music: Maini Sorri
Lyrics: Gary Cornman
1. I'm feeling really down
I hope you come around.
Hold me real tight with all your might.
2. Hold me every way
Hold me throughout the day.
Feeling upside down about to drown.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Hold me.
3. Just hold me in this room
to help me out of gloom.
Hold before you go I feel so low.
4. I want your loving hugs
just like addictive drugs
never got enough of hugging stuff.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Hold me.
Hold me in the night and make it bright
reaching out for you to get me out of blue.
Hold me.
5. I'm feeling really down
I hope you come around.
Hold me real tight with all your might.
6. Hold me every way
Hold me throughout the day.
Feeling upside down about to drown.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.

Hypotension or low blood pressure is pressure that is lower than normal blood pressure. Regular blood vessels pressure for the human entire body is 120/80 mmHg. If your bp is 90/60 mmHg or reduce you may have reduced blood pressure.
Hypotension happens because of low blood flow through arteries and veins that can lead to less oxygen becoming passed to essential organs. This really is due to weakness, flabby and over dilated blood vessels. In situation of less oxygen becoming passed to brain, heart, eye and kidney, they are able to get harm and in some significant situations it can permanently damaged essential organs.
A few of the reasons that can cause hypotension are pregnancy, diabetes, the hormonal problems, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and low blood sugar. Some over-the-counter medications can also produce this issue. The overdose of higher bp drugs, abnormal center beats or rhythms, disrupting functioning of heart, heat stroke and liver illness might also trigger hypotension.
Some other factors that can cause sudden drops in blood vessels stress are loss of blood vessels, low body temperature, higher entire body temperature, sepsis, a severe blood infection, heart muscle disease causing heart failure, serious dehydration, due to reaction from medication and also the serious allergic response (anaphylaxis).
The main symptoms of low blood pressure are fainting, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vertigo, transient blurring of vision, over exertion, mental disturbances, severe confusion and breathlessness. But with the normalization of the bp, these symptoms will subside gradually.
Drink lots of water as dehydration minimizes the blood volume which causes the drop in stress. Consume one glass of water per hour to keep your entire body hydrated. Salt can also be great for hypotension patient. You are able to improve your salt intake, but this improve in salt may vary from person to individual. Carry a walk after you take your meals. This assists in bringing the blood stress degree to regular.
Soak ten little raisins in water overnight. Chew every raisin gradually before swallowing it. Carry on doing this for a month. This really is very useful in normalizing reduced blood pressure. Another useful house remedy is almonds. Soak 5 almonds in drinking water overnight. Grind them to create a smooth paste and mix it in glass of milk. Boil the milk and drink it cozy.
Groundnuts have most of the needed nutrients and protein. Roasted groundnuts are more nourishing. Boil dates in sweetened milk. Take this milk warm along with the boiled dates, two or three times. Sugarcane juice is also a great energy booster and recommended for reduced bp.
Wheatgrass is believed to rejuvenate and revitalize the energy levels. Extract the juice and consume it immediately whilst nevertheless fresh for best result. Carry 2 to 4 grams of guggul twice a day together with hot milk, preferably within the winter months.
A new online survey shows just how difficult life insurance conversations can be. Parents would rather talk to their children about drugs/alcohol, religion and politics before life insurance, which is a topic only slightly more comfortable than sex/puberty. The survey also shows parents are the primary source for initial conversations about life insurance. This topic avoidance might be one reason that 22 percent of Americans feel they are not at all knowledgeable about life insurance. The State Farm survey, conducted by Harris Interactive among over 2,000 U.S. adults also revealed a gap in Americans’ knowledge of life insurance and general misconceptions about the benefits life insurance provides to those who are insured.

LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ:LIVN; LSE: LIVN) (“LivaNova” or the “Company”), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today recognizes that more than one million people in the United States with drug-resistant epilepsy continue to be treated unsuccessfully with drugs, despite the proven effectiveness of non-drug treatment options. LivaNova’s VNS Therapy®, for example, is a medical device treatment specifically designed for people with drug-resistant epilepsy that is already used by more than 85,000 people around the world.
One in three people with epilepsy has the type that is not well controlled with drugs, called drug-resistant epilepsy. For those people, prescribing more medicine is usually not the most effective option. In fact, research shows that if you haven’t found seizure freedom after your first two drugs, there is a 95 percent chance that no drug or combination of drugs will result in seizure freedom.
“Despite what we know about drug-resistant epilepsy, the majority of people affected by this condition will continue to be prescribed additional medications instead of being evaluated for surgery or seen in a specialized epilepsy facility,” said Jason Richey, president of LivaNova’s U.S. Region and general manager of the Neuromodulation Business Franchise. “This treatment gap means over one million individuals in the U.S. with undertreated epilepsy remain at risk for dangerous side effects of continued seizures, including injury, depression, memory issues and death.”

Song: Understanding by Evanescence
Featuring:
Sam Owen (played by Louis Tamone)
Andy Holt (played by Warren Brown)
Dannii Carbone (played by Christina Baily)
Russ Owen (played by Stuart Manning)
Sophie Burton (played by Connie Powney)
Mel Burton (played by Cassie Powney)
Louise Summers (played by Roxanne McKee)
Crossing the line:
Lee Hunter held his presidential party, where both Sam and Andy attended as the pair were feeling the highs from last nights triumph adventure. Andy asked out fellow student Dannii Carbone at the party but she turned him down, as she was seeing Sam's brother Russ. Andys true colours soon emerged and Andy spiked Danniis drink with a GHB drug and then later on went on to rape her, wearing a condom (apparently because he 'cares') as he attacks her unconscious body.
No going back:
Andy Holt meets up with Sophie and Mel Burton who have come home early from a family holiday. The 3 start drinking together and Andy drugs Mel and Sophie's drinks with the date rape drug GHB. He then takes them back to their house which is empty, then brings his mate Sam Owen over, as he knows Sam fancies Sophie. He tells Sam that he's left Sophie as a present for him and leaves him alone with Sophie whilst he rapes Mel in Darlene's bed. But Sam doesn't want to rape Sophie and leaves her on the sofa.
The following morning the twins wake up and realise what has happened so they call the police and get tested but they can't remember that it was Andy who they were drinking with. Mel's test comes up positive for rape whilst Sophies comes up negative. Louise Summers finds out what happened to them and tells them about how she was almost raped. She also tells them another person, Dannii Carbone, was also a victim like them and it was Andy who raped her.
Back from the dead:
Andy Holt appears and seduces Sam and Russ's younger sister Nicole Owen into going away with him to a seaside town. While there he sends a series of messages to the brothers who realise that Andy is alive when he send them a photo over the phone of him and Nicole on a funfair ride.
Russ wants to call the police but Sam insists otherwise and they turn up at the warehouse. They don't see Andy and run in to Nicole unarmed, Andy attacks them with a metal pole breaking Russ's leg and badly injuring Sam. Andy then offers Sam his mobile telling him to call the police, Sam refuses shocking his siblings. Andy reveals that he isn't the only one that has used GHB and raped girls. Nicole and Russ are horrified as Sam admits to it and that he almost raped Sophie Burton his now girlfriend. andy then threatens to rape Nicole but Mel enters in time and knocks him unconsicious.
She then forces him to take the GHB drug and ties him to a chair. While they waitfor the ambulance Andy spins a story of regret to Mel who relents until sees Andy laughing at how easily he will get off in court if he can make even one of his victims feel sorry for him. Mel is distracted and Andy tries to run away but disorientated by the drugs and still tied up he stumbles down to the basement. Sophie gives chase only to enter a room to find that Andy in the darkness has run straight into a metal spike part of the machinery. As he dies Sophie shouts insults at him.
While the government claims to provide pricing for drugs and procedures, those listings only highlight what Medicare and Medicaid are willing to reimburse, not what those services actually cost. Hospitals, doctors and insurance companies provide patients with an itemized bill for care – but only AFTER the fact. The Healthcare Transparency Index, issued today by change:healthcare, is the first to provide healthcare consumers with ongoing trends data about actual healthcare costs – offering insight into critical opportunities for cost savings.
