Summarize the following:
The most straightforward way to lose your voice is simply to use your voice box until it can't be used any more. Vocal activities like talking, shouting, singing, etc. require the vocal cords of the larynx to vibrate smoothly - with overuse, these cords can become inflamed, interfering with your ability to do these things. Try talking constantly at as loud of a volume as is reasonable for wherever you are. With persistence, your voice should eventually begin to fatigue. The more you talk the better! If you're looking for opportunities to talk loudly and at great length, try signing up for a public speaking class or simply holding conversations in a crowded bar or club. Singing can put serious demands on the vocal cords - singing at a high volume or in a very low or high register, even more so. These dangers are amplified if you're not a trained or experienced singer. So, for a sure-fire way to ruin your voice, try singing at full volume in a vocal register that's difficult for you. Obviously, you'll want to make it a point to avoid performing warm-up exercises before you sing. If you're embarrassed to sing loudly, try singing in the car with all of the doors closed and the windows rolled up. Other motorists will assume you're just singing along to the radio. Though it's not uncommon for people with colds to cough until they lose their voice, you don't necessarily have to have a cold to cough. Any kind of repeated coughing will irritate your larynx and eventually cause inflammation that can lead to losing your voice. Try combining your coughs with one of the other methods in this article for maximum effect. As with shouting and singing, excessive coughing in the long term can cause lasting pain and damage to the throat. As discussed above, a dry throat is a throat that's easy to wear out. To speed up the process of losing your voice, allow your mouth and throat to dry out by keeping your mouth open throughout the day. This will work especially well if you live in a dry climate. If you're worried about how you'll look after adopting a "slack-jawed" look, try sleeping with your mouth open instead so that no one will see you. Well-lubricated vocal cords are the enemy of anyone who's aiming to lose his or her voice. In fact, people who speak or sing in a professional capacity often keep a glass of water onstage to protect their vocal cords. If you're trying to lose your voice, do the opposite! Don't ease your worn-out vocal cords with a refreshing sip of water after you've been talking, yelling, or singing. Be reasonable when it comes to this rule - don't avoid any source of moisture to the point that you become dehydrated. If you're looking for a water alternative that will wear your throat out further, try a drink that's acidic or contains dairy (see below for more info). Certain types of food and drink, especially foods that are very acidic (lemon, vinegar, etc.) and dairy products cause most peoples' throats to produce phlegm. While phlegm won't irritate your vocal cords on its own, it does promote coughing, which can. So, if you're looking to lose your voice, try consuming these types of food and drink in conjunction with one of the other methods in this article. Some people find that very cold drinks can have a similar phlegm-producing effect to dairy and acidic foods and drinks. Try drinking an ice-cold glass of water to test its effects on your throat - if you find that you produce lots of phlegm after a cold drink, you may want to use this method to motivate yourself to cough.
Summary:
|
Talk, talk, talk. Sing. Cough. Keep your mouth open. Don't drink water. Consume acidic foods and/or dairy. Drink very cold water.

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Winchell was born Paul Wilchinsky in New York City on December 21, 1922, to Solomon Wilchinsky and Clara Fuchs. His father was a tailor; his grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Russian Poland and Austria-Hungary. Winchell's initial ambition was to become a doctor, but the Depression wiped out any chance of his family's ability to afford medical school tuition. At age 13, he contracted polio; while recovering, he happened upon a magazine advertisement offering a ventriloquism kit for ten cents.
Winchell's best-known ventriloquist dummies were Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff. Mahoney was carved by Chicago-based figure maker Frank Marshall. Sometime later Winchell had basswood copies of Jerry's head made by a commercial duplicating service. One became the upgraded Jerry Mahoney that is seen primarily throughout Winchell's television career. The television versions of Jerry and Knucklehead also featured Winchell's innovation of actors slipping their hands into the sleeves of the dummies, giving the visual effect of gesturing with their hands while "conversing" with each other. He modified two other copies to create Knucklehead Smiff. The original Marshall Jerry Mahoney and one copy of Knucklehead Smiff are in storage at the Smithsonian Institution. The other two figures are in the collection of illusionist David Copperfield. Winchell's first show as a ventriloquist was on radio with Jerry Mahoney in 1943. The program was short-lived, however, as he was overshadowed by Edgar Bergen. Winchell also created Ozwald, a character that resembled Humpty Dumpty. The effect was accomplished by painting eyes and a nose on his chin, then adding a "body" covering the rest of his face, and finally electronically turning the camera image upside down. In 1961, Berwin Novelties introduced a home version of the character that included an Oswald body, creative pencils to draw the eyes and nose and a "magic mirror" that automatically turned a reflection upside down. In 1948, Winchell and Joseph Dunninger were featured on Floor Show on NBC. Recorded via kinescope and replayed on WNBQ-TV in Chicago, Illinois, the 8:30-9 p.m. Central Time show on Thursdays was the station's first mid-week program. During the 1950s, Winchell hosted children's and adult programs with his figures for NBC Television, and later for syndication. The NBC Saturday morning program, sponsored by Tootsie Roll, featured a clubhouse motif and a theme song co-written by Winchell and his longtime bandleader and on-air sidekick, Milton DeLugg. The theme song was entitled "HOORAY, HOORAH" which featured the secret password "SCOLLY WALLY DOO DOO". An ending song entitled "Friends, Friends, Friends" was sung by the children in the audience. On one episode, The Three Stooges appeared on the show to promote their joint feature film venture, Stop, Look, and Laugh, in late 1959. He made an appearance on Nanny and the Professor (Season 2, Episode 13) as a "mean old man" (a puppeteer who had retired into seclusion after losing his wife in an accident). In 1996, Winchell contracted with figure maker Tim Selberg to construct a more contemporary version of Jerry Mahoney, which Winch described as "Disney-esque". Winchell used the new figure version to pitch a new TV series idea to Michael Eisner. In 2009 Winchell was featured in the comedy documentary I'm No Dummy, directed by Bryan W. Simon.

Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger Sr. (; born March 2, 1982), nicknamed Big Ben, is an American football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Miami University (Ohio), and was drafted by the Steelers in the first round (11th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft. Roethlisberger earned the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2004 and his first Pro Bowl selection in 2007.
On October 26, 2014 against the Indianapolis Colts, Roethlisberger completed 40 of 49 passes for 522 yards and 6 touchdowns as the Steelers defeated the Indianapolis Colts 51-34. With the win, Roethlisberger became just the fourth quarterback in NFL history to get 100 wins in his first 150 starts. He also became the first NFL quarterback to pass for over 500 yards twice in a career. He earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his effort against the Colts. In the next game, a 43-23 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, he had 340 passing yards and six passing touchdowns to earn AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second consecutive week. In the Steelers Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Roethlisberger completed 27 of 35 passes for 360 yards in a 27-20 victory. The victory made Roethlisberger only the sixth quarterback in NFL history to have defeated at least 31 different teams, joining Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Kerry Collins, Brett Favre, and Peyton Manning; like Brady, Roethlisberger has only played with one team and thus hasn't played against the Steelers. The Steelers lost 41-38 in Roethlisberger's only other matchup against Atlanta in 2006, and he was suspended for the Steelers 15-9 overtime victory against the Falcons in 2010. During 2014, Roethlisberger passed for career highs in yards with 4,952, completion percentage with 67.1, completions with 408, and attempts with 608. Roethlisberger also matched his career high in passing touchdowns with 32, as well as posting a passer rating of 103.3, the second highest of his career. His 4,952 yards were tied for most on the season with Drew Brees, but Roethlisberger reached the mark with fewer completions. The Steelers had a 11-5 record and finished first in the AFC North. They then lost in the Wild Card round of the playoffs against the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 30-17. He was named to his third career Pro Bowl for the 2014 season. He was ranked 26th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2015.

Italian director Federico Fellini was older than his American peers at his first nomination and, like other foreigners, had not been nominated for his earlier masterworks, "La Strada" and "Nights of Cabiria", though both films had won the Best Foreign-Language Picture in 1956 and 1957, respectively. Fellini later received an Honorary Oscar in 1993, which was basically a compensatory gesture.

On a day when a victory would give the Patriots their third consecutive AFC East title, nothing seemed to go right for the Patriots as the Dolphins outplayed the Patriots to split the season series and give New England their first shutout since 2003, defeating the Patriots 21-0. The first half was a defensive struggle with the only points coming from Olindo Mare, in the form of a 35-yard and a 33-yard field goal. Even the punter, Donnie Jones, gave the Patriots issues as multiple punts resulted in the offensive unit starting within the five-yard line. The furthest the Patriots drove into Dolphin territory was in the third quarter with the Dolphins leading 13-0. Ending with a would-be touchdown reception by Watson, a play consisting of a lateral from Faulk to Brady was ruled penalty, as Faulk's lateral was an illegal forward pass. On the following possession, Matt Cassel took over the offense, but he too succumbed to the Dolphin defense and was sacked, fumbling the ball. The Dolphins marched within the New England 10-yard line again but knelt to burn out the clock. The loss gave the Patriots a 4-2 division record and 9-4 record overall.

Cruise ship was refurbished in the Blohm + Vosss shipyard in Hamburg. Time-lapse specialists MK Timelapse caught the process on camera. The cruise liner was cut in half before a new section was inserted and the ship was welded together and painted to leave the yard as the Balmoral.

By. Sarah Griffiths. PUBLISHED:. 08:54 EST, 28 January 2014. |. UPDATED:. 06:08 EST, 30 January 2014. Most people associate the splicing of one vehicle with another as a cut-and-shut technique used by dodgy car salesmen. But a section of a massive cruise ship has been inserted into another older liner to create a shiny new ship 99 feet longer than before. And the amazing process of creating the stretch cruise liner has been caught on cameras by time-lapse photography experts. Scroll down for video. The new 99ft section of the cruise ship was lined up alongside the original ship, which had been sawn in two and then carefully inserted in the gap (pictured) The cruise ship, originally named the Norwegian Crown, is seen being towed backwards into a dry dock in the Blohm + Vosss shipyard in Hamburg, where it is then cut in half. The two sections of the ship are slowly moved apart to make room for the extra 99ft section to make the new ship much longer, Sploid reported. Positioned by the ship’s side, the vast new metal section is carefully moved into place to effectively create a ‘stretch’ cruise ship. Positioned by the ship's side, the vast new metal section is carefully moved into place to effectively create a 'stretch' cruise ship. The two parts of the original ship being moved apart is pictured. Here, the new section of ship is slide into place, before being welded into place. The new section is welded into place and the ship is then repainted so that its new section blends seamlessly into it. The altered ship leaves the yard as the Balmoral and the whole painstaking process conducted by highly skilled engineers, has been captured by slow motion specialists MK Timelapse. The Balmoral vessel is owned and operated by Fred Olsen Cruise Lines and was built in 1988, so in an age of even larger cruise ships, the cut-and-shut operation gives the vessel a new lease of life. Here, the ship is repainted to hide the newly-inserted section The name Balmoral is painted onto to the hull of the refurbished vessel. The altered ship leaves the yard as the Balmoral (pictured) and the whole painstaking process conducted by highly skilled engineers, has been captured by slow motion specialists MK Timelapse. The Enchantment of the Seas was refurbished and extended in 2008. It is relatively common practice for cruise ships to be extended in this way. In 2008 another ship called the Enchantment of the Seas was refurbished to add extra rooms. It originally measured 916ft long and was extended by 73ft. The overhaul cost in the region of £30million, but was a fraction of the £500million cost of building a new cruise ship. The work provided 151 more cabins and added new facilities, including trampolines and a swimming pool. The painstaking process took place in a dry dock at the Keppel Verolme shipyard in Rotterdam, Holland.

A golf course superintendent, he lived in Vail, Colorado, with his wife and three sons. One evening in 2000, he and his buddies decided to snowshoe up Vail Mountain and ride the gondola down. Bender complained of indigestion on the way up, which was odd because his last meal had been lunch. He told his friends he needed to sit down before getting on the gondola. After the group got in the cable car, he lost consciousness.

While this process moved along, diplomacy continued its rounds. Direct pressure on the Taliban had proved unsuccessful. As one NSC staff note put it, "Under the Taliban, Afghanistan is not so much a state sponsor of terrorism as it is a state sponsored by terrorists." In early 2000, the United States began a high-level effort to persuade Pakistan to use its influence over the Taliban. In January 2000, Assistant Secretary of State Karl Inderfurth and the State Department's counterterrorism coordinator, Michael Sheehan, met with General Musharraf in Islamabad, dangling before him the possibility of a presidential visit in March as a reward for Pakistani cooperation. Such a visit was coveted by Musharraf, partly as a sign of his government's legitimacy. He told the two envoys that he would meet with Mullah Omar and press him on Bin Laden. They left, however, reporting to Washington that Pakistan was unlikely in fact to do anything," given what it sees as the benefits of Taliban control of Afghanistan." President Clinton was scheduled to travel to India. The State Department felt that he should not visit India without also visiting Pakistan. The Secret Service and the CIA, however, warned in the strongest terms that visiting Pakistan would risk the President's life. Counterterrorism officials also argued that Pakistan had not done enough to merit a presidential visit. But President Clinton insisted on including Pakistan in the itinerary for his trip to South Asia. His one-day stopover on March 25, 2000, was the first time a U.S. president had been there since 1969. At his meeting with Musharraf and others, President Clinton concentrated on tensions between Pakistan and India and the dangers of nuclear proliferation, but also discussed Bin Laden. President Clinton told us that when he pulled Musharraf aside for a brief, one-on-one meeting, he pleaded with the general for help regarding Bin Laden." I offered him the moon when I went to see him, in terms of better relations with the United States, if he'd help us get Bin Laden and deal with another issue or two." The U.S. effort continued.

But for all his recent success, Betts says "you are only as good as your last play", which means all eyes are on The National Joke, a "tragi-comic" tale of an MP's "very dysfunctional family who come together on the south coast of England to view a total solar eclipse".
Betts says the idea for the play came to him while reading a book about eclipses.
"I was reading Totality, which is about total eclipses and had all the myths that have sprung up around them and what they meant to people in cultures before we understood the science.
"You are often looking for a reason to trap a group of individuals together or have them gathering together.
"So as I was reading it, I thought this would be an interesting way to frame a play."
And he says that while it tells the story of a Tory MP on the periphery of the party, he is "not promoting a left or right-wing view".
"A lot of my recent plays have been explorations of the left-wing and I thought I'd have a look at the other side.
"But it looks at the fact that there's no point having these values and identifying yourself with a position when you are unable to love each other properly.
"That's what the play looks at. There's a definite lack of nurture and love in it."
Ultimately though, he says the work, like "most of my plays - or even most plays full stop", is about the "symptoms of human madness".
"Most of us are slightly mad. The human mind is a dysfunctional entity in many ways and the system we're forced into can make us mad and make us unable to live in the present moment and love each other properly.
"I'm trying to demonstrate this is what we're like and there is a way to make ourselves slightly more sane. I'm trying to lay it bare and show what is going on.
"Maybe there is something beyond personalities sticking to fixed political positions, which is where the eclipse comes in - there's this huge natural event which dwarfs all these petty squabbles that the family have and makes them put things into context.
"It's an examination of where we are at the moment."
Associate artistic director Henry Bell, who is helming the production of The National Joke at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre, says when he read the play, he "found it really funny".
"I was taken on a comic journey with it, which then becomes a more intense experience,," he says.
"It wasn't until I finished that I went 'ah, this is actually a state of the nation play' - that wasn't running through my head when I was reading it.
"That was a good sign, because if you can see what the playwright is trying to do, that's usually a sign that it's a preachy play or an ego piece."
He says he thought about bringing Betts's new work to his stage because of the playwright's history with the theatre, which he admits he used as a "carrot to dangle in front of him and say 'it's been a while and you're grown - come back to what you know'".
Betts became the theatre's writer-in-residence in 1999 at the invitation of then-artistic director Sir Alan Ayckbourn and says it is "nice to be back", though he finds the comparisons of their work "a bit trying".
"Even when I'm being praised, it's always because Alan mentored me in the correct fashion, which is slightly galling because he was just the artistic director of the theatre that put my play on.
"I'm 50 in a couple of years and in reviews, I'm still the protegee. But there can't be that many reviews that haven't mentioned him.
"My plays are very different to his. Some of them do cover similar landscapes - middle-class dysfunction with laughs and a bit of tragedy - but they are angrier and darker."
Bell says the comparison "reduces how prolific Alan's been as a writer and it does the same to Torben".
"There's crucial differences - Torben's much more interested in the actual specific political landscape of this country, whereas I think Alan tends to be more universal in how he presents things.
"If you see this play, you won't think that it's an Alan Ayckbourn play. But the one thing I will say they have in common is that they have an ability to make the dark seem comic.
"Alan's a master at that and Torben has that in his plays too."
Betts admits when he's in Scarborough, "there's no avoiding it, so I just go with it".
As far as he's concerned though, he has more important things to consider, like writing his next work.
He says the burden of success "doesn't weigh on my shoulders", though admits "you always put a pressure on yourself to make your stuff as good as it can be".
"I've been trundling along with maybe a production a year, but the last couple of years, it's got a lot busier," he says.
"The nice thing is that the more exposure and the more success you get, the more chance you've got of getting something else on."
The National Joke is at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre until 20 August.

Article: Originally alphabets were written entirely in majuscule letters, spaced between well-defined upper and lower bounds. When written quickly with a pen, these tended to turn into rounder and much simpler forms. It is from these that the first minuscule hands developed, the half-uncials and cursive minuscule, which no longer stayed bound between a pair of lines. These in turn formed the foundations for the Carolingian minuscule script, developed by Alcuin for use in the court of Charlemagne, which quickly spread across Europe. The advantage of the minuscule over majuscule was improved, faster readability.[citation needed]
Now answer this question: Who developed the Carolingian minuscule script for handwriting?

Article:The UK food manufacturer said its profits would be 10% lower this year due to rising costs.
The weaker pound has pushed up the price of ingredients such as sugar, cocoa and palm oil.
The company said shoppers were turning to cheaper non-branded products.
Premier Foods' shares fell nearly 11% in Wednesday trading.
"Recovery of significant input cost inflation in certain areas is taking longer than originally foreseen," said Chief Executive Gavin Darby,
The group is about to start a three-year cost cutting plan which aims to make savings of £10m by next year.
The company said that some of its big brands, including Bisto, Oxo, Loyd Grossman, Ambrosia and Batchelors, were performing well.
And the group sold over 216 million mince pies in 2016, 17% more than the previous year. However, as in other areas, sales shifted away from the Mr Kipling label in favour of the non-branded equivalent.
Overall, in the third quarter the company's sales were 1% lower than the same period last year. But while branded sales were 3.8% down, non-branded sales were up 11.6%.

Background: Captain James Cook (7 November 1728 - 14 February 1779) was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean, during which he achieved the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years' War, and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec.
Context: In 1766, the Admiralty engaged Cook to command a scientific voyage to the Pacific Ocean. The purpose of the voyage was to observe and record the transit of Venus across the Sun for the benefit of a Royal Society inquiry into a means of determining longitude. Cook, at the age of 39, was promoted to lieutenant to grant him sufficient status to take the command. For its part the Royal Society agreed that Cook would receive a one hundred guinea gratuity in addition to his Naval pay. The expedition sailed aboard HMS Endeavour, departing England on 26 August 1768. Cook and his crew rounded Cape Horn and continued westward across the Pacific to arrive at Tahiti on 13 April 1769, where the observations of the Venus Transit were made. However, the result of the observations was not as conclusive or accurate as had been hoped. Once the observations were completed, Cook opened the sealed orders which were additional instructions from the Admiralty for the second part of his voyage: to search the south Pacific for signs of the postulated rich southern continent of Terra Australis. Cook then sailed to New Zealand and mapped the complete coastline, making only some minor errors. He then voyaged west, reaching the south-eastern coast of Australia on 19 April 1770, and in doing so his expedition became the first recorded Europeans to have encountered its eastern coastline. On 23 April he made his first recorded direct observation of indigenous Australians at Brush Island near Bawley Point, noting in his journal: "...and were so near the Shore as to distinguish several people upon the Sea beach they appear'd to be of a very dark or black Colour but whether this was the real colour of their skins or the C[l]othes they might have on I know not." On 29 April Cook and crew made their first landfall on the mainland of the continent at a place now known as the Kurnell Peninsula. Cook originally christened the area as "Stingray Bay", but later he crossed this out and named it "Botany Bay" after the unique specimens retrieved by the botanists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. It is here that James Cook made first contact with an aboriginal tribe known as the Gweagal. After his departure from Botany Bay he continued northwards. He stopped at Bustard Bay (now known as Seventeen Seventy or 1770) at 8 o'clock on 23 May 1770. On 24 May Cook and Banks and others went ashore. Continuing north, on 11 June a mishap occurred when HMS Endeavour ran aground on a shoal of the Great Barrier Reef, and then "nursed into a river mouth on 18 June 1770". The ship was badly damaged and his voyage was delayed almost seven weeks while repairs were carried out on the beach (near the docks of modern Cooktown, Queensland, at the mouth of the Endeavour River). The voyage then continued, sailing through Torres Strait and on 22 August Cook landed on Possession Island, where he claimed the entire coastline that he had just explored as British territory. He returned to England via Batavia (modern Jakarta, Indonesia), where many in his crew succumbed to malaria, and then the Cape of Good Hope, arriving at the island of Saint Helena on 12 July 1771.
Question: Which islands did he visit in the Pacific. Whats the answer?

Cook and his crew rounded Cape Horn and continued westward across the Pacific to arrive at Tahiti

The red fox slowly walked out of his den he lives in; his own house in the ground. His eyes bounced side to side as he made sure the coast was clear, then he ran down the path of autumn leaves. As he reached the end there was a an apple tree without leaves, but still one shiny red colored apple hung from a branch. He climbed up a nearby rock and took a running start towards the branch, jumping and barely grabbing on. He slowly crawled along the branch towards the shiny apple, and as he drew close, he reached out a paw towards the apple. He knocked the apple from the branch and it to the forest floor. The fox slipped and he fell off the branch, but landed safely in a pile of leaves near the apple. He picked up the apple in his mouth and quickly brought it back to his warm den. When he arrived back home, his two fox kits were waiting for him with hungry tummies. Spring, summer, autumn, or winter, it was always warm in the fox den.

If I could give less than one star, I would. Started off at 4 Queens bell desk. I asked the bell hop for a good place to eat. He suggested the buffet at the the Golden Nugget because everything at the the Golden Nugget is top notch and the 4Queens is always playing second fiddle to them. My wife and I walked over to the Golden Nugget Buffet. Since it was the holiday, the price was more then usual ($23 per person). The menu looked good, so I said, why not. I should have went to McDonalds. The food was cold and not good tasting. The prime rib was raw (not rare). They offered to throw it on the grill for me (gee thanks). The only thing that was good was the server (Frank). He was friendly and helpful. In addition, they charged my credit card an additional $10 for no reason. If you charge at the buffet, double check your credit card statement, they over charge for real bad food.

News article: NFL teams face dilemma on when to give up on a young QB
The Washington Redskins are not alone in the predicament they face while preparing to make a tricky decision about the future in D.C. of once-prized young quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Other teams find themselves in similar situations — the Buffalo Bills with EJ Manuel, the New York Jets with Geno Smith, the Tennessee Titans with Jake Locker and the St. Louis Rams with Sam Bradford.
For each of those franchises, the pertinent question now is: When is it time to give up on the would-be franchise quarterback and move on?
There is no easy answer, and the stakes are exceedingly high. Opting to start over at the sport’s most important position cannot be taken lightly.
“It’s a dilemma,” a front office executive with one NFL team said last week. “A lot of these guys were pretty sheltered in college and this is the first time they’re really experiencing failure and scrutiny in a public way. You have to ask if they’re tough enough mentally to handle it. It’s a complicated, multi-faceted decision. This is a new world for developing young quarterbacks.”
Griffin is only 24 and is in his third NFL season. Smith and Manuel also are 24 and are second-year pros. Locker is 26 and in his fourth season. Bradford, at 27, is the old man of the group, now sitting out what would be his fifth NFL season after suffering a preseason knee injury.
Each quarterback has an abundance of hope and plenty of his team’s resources invested in him. Bradford was the top overall selection in the 2010 NFL draft and received the most lucrative contract ever for a rookie, just before the sport’s rookie compensation system was put into effect with the 2011 labor settlement, by agreeing to a six-year, $78 million deal that included $50 million in guaranteed money.
Griffin was the second overall selection in the 2012 draft after the Redskins sent three first-round picks and a second-round choice to the Rams for the pick used on the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor. Locker and Manuel also were opening-round choices. Smith was a second-rounder.
But Griffin and Manuel have been benched. Locker was benched but played last weekend only because Titans rookie starter Zach Mettenberger hurt his right shoulder. Smith was benched in favor of Michael Vick but has re-inherited the starting job as the Jets play out the string in a 2-10 season.
“It comes to a point where you hit the wall, where the player is not improving, where he’s making the same mistakes and you can’t fix it, where you feel the team around him is good enough and it’s still not working,” said Charley Casserly, the former general manager of the Redskins and Houston Texans. “Then it’s time. You have to judge that and figure that out. Also, it’s time if it has become a toxic situation in the organization and in the community where you just can’t keep him.”
The Bills are in playoff contention and have a record of 7-5, having gone 5-3 with Kyle Orton as the starter after going 2-2 with Manuel. The Rams, who have started Shaun Hill and Austin Davis at quarterback this season, are hovering just under .500, at 5-7, and have impressive wins this season over the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos. But the Titans, like the Jets, are 2-10, and the Redskins are 3-9.
“There’s another element to it,” Casserly said. “That’s the quality of the team. You look at [49ers quarterback] Colin Kaepernick, and he’s a one-read-and-then-run quarterback. He can run. Griffin can’t run like he used to. But that has worked [for Kaepernick] in San Francisco because of the team he’s played with. Manuel, Geno Smith, Griffin — they have not played with a team on the level of San Francisco. That factors into it.”
No team wants to keep a draft bust — the next Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith or JaMarcus Russell — around too long. But some former first-round picks move on and have success elsewhere. Alex Smith is winning in Kansas City after losing the starting job to Kaepernick in San Francisco. Mark Sanchez is playing well in Philadelphia. Wouldn’t the Jets like to have him back now?
So all circumstances must be considered carefully. Everything must be weighed. Manuel has made only 14 career starts for the Bills, with 12 career interceptions to go with 16 touchdown passes. Is that enough of a chance? Has he progressed?
It’s not even clear who will make the quarterback decisions for the Jets, with Rex Ryan likely to be fired as their coach and General Manager John Idzik potentially in jeopardy as well.
Bradford is coming back from his second torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He threw for more than 3,700 yards in 2012 and had a passer rating of 90.9 in seven games last season before getting hurt. But by the end of this season, he will have earned an estimated $65 million from his rookie contract while playing in only 49 of the Rams’ 80 games since they drafted him.
Griffin was the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year in 2012. But he has suffered two major injuries in the NFL, a torn ACL at the end of his rookie season and a dislocated ankle this season. He now has been benched twice in two seasons by two different coaches, Mike Shanahan last season and Jay Gruden this season.
“You have a situation where a different coaching staff drafted him,” Casserly said. “That coaching staff made the commitment to take him and build the offense around his skill set. He also got hurt. That killed his development, too. That isn’t Gruden’s fault. How would Shanahan look at this? Of course, Shanahan benched him last year.”
Former 49ers offensive lineman Randy Cross said teams must be wary of giving up too soon on young quarterbacks when those passers have had to make significant adjustments at the pro level.
“If you’re drafting a guy who has played in that spread offense in college, you have to know there’s going to be a major adjustment period,” Cross said. “You have to allow for that. You have to know the learning curve is steep. Andrew Luck isn’t so good just because he’s a savant when it comes to football. He also played in a pro-style offense [in college]. That wasn’t the case with Cam [Newton] and RGIII and some of these other guys. You can’t expect them to suddenly step into the NFL and be completely comfortable right away.
“And then this year with RGIII, he’s supposed to run a West Coast offense when he’s never run it before? If you’re going to take one of these guys because he’s athletic and because he can make plays and because you think he can develop into a good pocket passer in an NFL-style offense, you’d better know it very well could take four or five years for everything to click. You’d better allow for that,” Cross said.
There is also the matter of being able to come up with a replacement who is better. The Bills are winning with Orton. But he’s 32 and in his 10th NFL season, spent with five different teams. So he probably is not a long-term solution at quarterback. The Redskins are starting Colt McCoy after Griffin’s third-year backup, Kirk Cousins, failed to stake a claim to the starting job.
Cleveland’s Brian Hoyer, who could be about to lose the Browns’ starting job to rookie Johnny Manziel, is eligible for unrestricted free agency this offseason. So, too, is Ryan Mallett, who made two starts for the Texans before having his season ended by a pectoral injury. Oregon’s Marcus Mariota, Florida State’s Jameis Winston and UCLA’s Brett Hundley could be the most attractive quarterback options in the NFL draft if those underclassmen make themselves available.

Tocqueville thought the conquest of Algeria was important for two reasons: first, his understanding of the international situation and France's position in the world, and, second, changes in French society. Tocqueville believed that war and colonization would "restore national pride, threatened", he believed, by "The gradual softening of social mores" in the middle classes. Their taste for "material pleasures" was spreading to the whole of society, giving it "an example of weakness and egotism". Applauding the methods of General Bugeaud, Tocqueville went so far to claim that "war in Africa is a science. Everyone is familiar with its rules and everyone can apply those rules with almost complete certainty of success. One of the greatest services that Field Marshal Bugeaud has rendered his country is to have spread, perfected and made everyone aware of this new science." Tocqueville advocated racial segregation in Algeria with two distinct legislations, one for European colonists and one for the Arab population. Such a two-tier arrangement would be fully realised with the 1870 Cremieux decree and the Indigenousness Code, which extended French citizenship to European settlers and Algerian Jews, whereas Muslim Algerians would be governed by Muslim law and restricted to a second-class citizenship.
Choose your answer: According to the above paragraph, the correct answer to the question "Why did Tocqueville applaud General Bugeaud's methods?" is "He agreed with him"?

This is the second year I've seen Dr. Cheung. She had a very caring attitude and took her time with my eye exam. She was very nice friendly and very eau to talk with about my vision situation. I didn't feel rushed at all during my eye exam. A great experience with Dr. Cheung. Candace helped me with getting my glasses. Candace had already preselected some glasses for me because she's helped me before. I really appreciated this but when sitting with her going over the choices of my glasses I decided to get sunglasses instead. Candace was very helpful in picking a couple of frames for me. Not too difficult because there wasn't much to choose from since I have a big head-I have to have larger frames. I only had two sunglasses frames to choose from. The choice was made super easy when I found out the price. One was $500+; the other about $160, though instance picked up most of the frame cost. For some off the other options I went with it cost a little more and was unnecessary, but I needed to use my health savings account dollars before they expired at the end of the year, though the $500 frame would have blown way past my savings dollars. I wish they would have more of a selection for people with larger heads. Like with me buying shoes, I have too look for what's available in my size first then pick from what's available, not chose like most people where they look for their style first then look for their size. Candace was very helpful and patient in going over the options my insurance covered. Another great experience at Optic gallery.

This is the kind of film you want to see with a glass of wine, the fire on, and with your feet up. It doesn't require that much brain-power to follow, so is very good after a long day. I would say it is very unrealistic - if you expecting anything serious, then don't bother, but it is very funny. Just the thought that a businessman would go so far as to agree to live in a slum for a while, and then actually get to enjoy it... I would definitely recommend it.

Here is a question about this article: The celebrated John Duns Scotus (d. 1308), a Friar Minor like Saint Bonaventure, argued, on the contrary, that from a rational point of view it was certainly as little derogatory to the merits of Christ to assert that Mary was by him preserved from all taint of sin, as to say that she first contracted it and then was delivered. Proposing a solution to the theological problem of reconciling the doctrine with that of universal redemption in Christ, he argued that Mary's immaculate conception did not remove her from redemption by Christ; rather it was the result of a more perfect redemption granted her because of her special role in salvation history.
What is the answer to this question: What point did his argument attempt to bring to the masses ?
|
to assert that Mary was by him preserved from all taint of sin, as to say that she first contracted it and then was delivered.

Animated history of the US. Of course the cartoon is highly oversimplified, and most critics consider it one of the weakest parts of the film. But it makes a valid claim which you ignore entirely: That the strategy to promote "gun rights" for white people and to outlaw gun possession by black people was a way to uphold racism without letting an openly terrorist organization like the KKK flourish. Did the 19th century NRA in the southern states promote gun rights for black people? I highly doubt it. But if they didn't, one of their functions was to continue the racism of the KKK. This is the key message of this part of the animation, which is again being ignored by its critics. Buell shooting in Flint. You write: "Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before". This characterization of a six-year-old as a pencil-stabbing thug is exactly the kind of hysteria that Moore's film warns against. It is the typical right-wing reaction which looks for simple answers that do not contradict the Republican mindset. The kid was a little bastard, and the parents were involved in drugs -- case closed. But why do people deal with drugs? Because it's so much fun to do so? It is by now well documented that the CIA tolerated crack sales in US cities to fund the operation of South American "contras" It is equally well known that the so-called "war on drugs" begun under the Nixon administration is a failure which has cost hundreds of billions and made America the world leader in prison population (both in relative and absolute numbers).

Johnnie had a set of small volumes of English verse, extensively annotated by his own hand, which Stoddard had brought to her early in their acquaintance, leaving it with her more as a gift than as a loan. She kept these little books after all the others had gone back. She had read and reread them--cullings from Chaucer, from Spenser, from the Elizabethan lyrists, the border balladry, fierce, tender, oh, so human--till she knew pages of them by heart, and their vocabulary influenced her own, their imagery tinged all her leisure thoughts. It seemed to her, whenever she debated returning them, that she could not bear it. She would get them out and sit with one of them open in her hands, not reading, but staring at the pages with unseeing eyes, passing her fingers over it, as one strokes a beloved hand, or turning through each book only to find the pencilled words in the margins. She would be giving up part of herself when she took these back. Yet it had to be done, and one miserable morning she made them all into a neat package, intending to carry them to the mill and place them on Stoddard's desk thus early, when nobody would be in the office. Then the children came in; Deanie was half sick; and in the distress of getting the ailing child comfortably into her own bed, Johnnie forgot the books. Taking them in at noon, she met Stoddard himself.

Article: Many people feel nerds look pale, as they spend a lot of time indoors. Therefore, a pale complexion can really help with a nerd costume. Use a makeup brush to apply a heavy amount of light foundation. Choose a fairly pale tone and blend the foundation all over your face until you have an even, pale tone. From here, add eyeshadow. As nerds are often seen as mismatched, choose bright and unusual colors. A bright blue, green, or purple eyeshadow can work for a nerd costume. You can use your fingers or a makeup brush to apply eye shadow for your nerd costume. It's a good idea to apply a lighter shade of eyeshadow, or an eyeshadow primer, before applying your actual eyeshadow. This can make the bright colors show up even more. If you mess up a bit, don't worry. Makeup that's somewhat smeared may actually help with the nerd look. Stores sell eyeliner in a variety of shades. Pick a fun, bright color instead of using black. You want your makeup to look nerdy and somewhat awkward. Eyeliner in shades like purple, pink, and blue works well. Apply a thin line of eyeliner just above your eyelashes, and another line just underneath your bottom lashes. You can also draw a line of eyeliner on your water line, as long as the makeup is safe for use this close to the eyes. It may be a good idea to pick a shade of eyeliner that clashes with your existing eyeshadow. For example, if you did green eyeshadow, go for a purple eyeliner. Another notion about nerds is that they're shy and easily embarrassed. If you want to develop a flushed look to help with your nerd costume, add a heavy layer of blush to your cheeks using a makeup brush. Freckles are thought of as somewhat awkward. Use a brown makeup pencil and dot a few freckles on each cheek. How many you want is up to you. Add enough that you feel you look adequately nerdy.

The revitalised Liverpool forward showed the benefits of a mid-season break in the Caribbean by scoring a magnificent goal to ensure the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final with Chelsea ended 1-1. After Eden Hazard had put Chelsea ahead with a penalty, Liverpool roared back and Sterling scored a magnificent goal, waltzing past Nemanja Matic and Gary Cahill before finishing confidently with his left foot.

Official says the powerful explosion was caused by a car bomb -- state media. The blast hit central Benghazi on the anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Consulate.

Article:

A car bomb exploded outside a Foreign Ministry building in the Libyan city of Benghazi Wednesday, state media said, on the anniversary of an assault on the U.S. Consulate there that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The blast did not cause any casualties but blew away large parts of the building's facade, said Col. Abdullah Al Zaydi, spokesman for the Joint Security Task Force in Benghazi, according to Libya's state news agency, LANA. Al Zaydi said the explosion was very powerful and destroyed the vehicle used for the bombing, which contained a large quantity of explosives, the news agency said. The blast also damaged a branch of the Central Bank of Libya and slightly injured one of its security guards, the bank said. The branch director, Abdel Qader Mohammed, said the explosion caused "material damage" to the building, but its computer systems were not affected. Fast facts: The Benghazi Consulate attack. Benghazi resident Sami Berriwen told CNN he heard the blast in the eastern city at about 7 a.m. Berriwen, a university student, said that if the explosion had happened just an hour later, the street would have been full of people. He said most Benghazi residents walk the street to get to school and to work, but because it was early, no one was out yet. Berriwen said he saw a fire truck but no casualties or ambulances at the scene. Diplomatic missions and security officials have repeatedly been the targets of attacks in Benghazi, leading most Westerners to leave. In January, gunmen targeted the car of the Italian consul general in Benghazi, but no one was injured. Bomb attacks also occurred last year on a U.N. convoy, as well as on a convoy carrying the British ambassador. In November, unknown gunmen assassinated the city's temporary security director. Other towns and cities, including the capital, Tripoli, have also seen frequent attacks. In recent days, scores of U.S. Marines were moved closer to Libya to help beef up security before of the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States and the first anniversary of the attack on the Benghazi consulate. Two U.S. officials told CNN on Monday that 250 combat-ready Marines had moved from their base in Moron, Spain, to the U.S. naval installation at Sigonella, Italy. That would enable them to reach Tripoli in three to four hours in the event of a crisis. Other U.S. forces are helping boost security at various embassies in the region, since the period around September 11 is seen as a time of greater threat to U.S. interests. The attack at the Benghazi compound has been a political flashpoint in a long-running battle between the administration and Republicans, who accuse it of not bolstering security before the attack, of botching the response to it and of misleading the public for political gain before the November 2012 election. A report by the U.N. secretary-general on the U.N. Support Mission in Libya, released this month, highlights the continuing security concerns and political polarization in Libya following the overthrow of strongman leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. The status of the revolutionary fighters who helped to oust Gadhafi remains unclear, the process of transitional justice is almost stalled, the country's borders are leaky and there are many unsecured weapons, adding to the instability, it said. "The continuing volatile security situation in Libya in general, and in the eastern and southern parts of the country in particular, is a source of grave concern," it said. "Targeted political assassinations, criminal activity and attacks and threats against the diplomatic community continue to plague the country, including Tripoli. The protection of the civilian population and the enforcement of law need to be reaffirmed as a national priority." CNN's Barbara Starr contributed to this report.

On June 15, 2016, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema announced a spin-off film to 2016's The Conjuring 2 titled The Nun. The initial script for the film was written by David Leslie Johnson, and produced by Peter Safran and James Wan. On February 17, 2017, it was announced that Corin Hardy had signed on to direct The Nun with a new screenplay from Wan and Gary Dauberman. During the filming of Annabelle: Creation, Safran revealed that The Nun would chronologically come first in The Conjuring franchise's shared cinematic universe, making it as a further prequel to The Conjuring series and Annabelle series. He said, ``We have a board that we created that has what we hope will ultimately be our series of movies. We have it in chronological order, so we can keep track of where it all happens.''

The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), were a series of major conflicts pitting the French Empire and its allies, led by Napoleon I, against a fluctuating array of European powers formed into various coalitions, financed and usually led by Great Britain. The wars stemmed from the unresolved disputes associated with the French Revolution and its resultant conflict. The wars are often categorised into five conflicts, each termed after the coalition that fought Napoleon; the Third Coalition (1805), the Fourth (1806–7), Fifth (1809), Sixth (1813), and the Seventh and final (1815).
Napoleon, upon ascending to First Consul of France in 1799, had inherited a chaotic republic; he subsequently created a state with stable finances, a strong bureaucracy, and a well-trained army. In 1805, Austria and Russia waged war against France. In response, Napoleon defeated the allied Russo-Austrian army at Austerlitz in December 1805, which is considered his greatest victory. At sea, the British inflicted a severe defeat in October 1805 upon the joint Franco-Spanish navy, securing British control of the seas and preventing the invasion of Britain itself. Prussian concerns about increasing French power led to a resumption of war in October 1806. Napoleon quickly defeated the Prussians, and defeated Russia in June 1807, bringing an uneasy peace to the continent. The peace failed; war broke out two years later in 1809, and this coalition was soon defeated.

News article:
Widower Accidentally Spends Dollar Bill Signed By Wife, Gets It Back As Change Copyright by WJBF - All rights reserved Photo of Peter Bilello and his wife, Grace. (Courtesy: ABC News) [ + - ] Video
Hartford, CT - It was a love match that needed some nudging. Peter Bilello, working in America, was back home in southern Sicily when his mother questioned her unmarried son as only a mother could. "My mother asking me, 'say, why don't you get married? What are you waiting for?" Bilello said. "She said, 'I know a nice girl on the same street and her name is Grace. Take a look and see if you life,'" his mother said to him, he added.
He looked at Grace Caruso and liked what he saw. So did she. "She had to like me to get married in 40 days," Bilello said with a laugh.
The couple moved to Hartford where they were blessed with two children and four grandchildren. Their enduring love, eventually symbolized in two, one dollar bills.
"Why, I don't know, that happened to come to my mind like this, so we both signed. I signed one and she signed the other one. And, I said 'this dollar is going to be in my wallet forever,'" Bilello said.
But five years ago, Bilello accidentally spent it. "I feel so mad, I feel sorry and said, 'we're never going to see those two dollars back again,'" he added.
Bilello lost Grace to breast cancer last year, five months after celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Seven months later, there was a miraculous discovery when he took his grandaughter to a Subway and looked at the three dollars he received in change. "When I see the first one, it was my wife's dollar. 'Oh my God. Ashley, look at Nona's dollar, back again 5 years later,'" Bilello said.
The dollar with Grace B. on the front mended his broken heart. "I never thought I was going to get that dollar back again, never," he said. "The first thing I said, 'Grace, she did this to make me happy and her to be happy, too,'" Bilello said.
Visits to Grace's gravesite are now more comforting for Peter. "What do you think? I believe in miracles. I believe, too. Every,time I go over there, I cry, I say, 'Grace you did this,'" Peter added. ||||| For Peter Bilello, life changed forever over 50 years ago when he went to visit his mother in his native Italy.
"My mother, she knew this girl," Bilello, 86, told ABC News today. "And my mother says, 'Why don't you get married.' ... She don't know me, I don't know her."
Forty days later, Peter, then 35, and the young woman named Grace, then 23, wed in Italy.
In September 1964, the couple moved to Connecticut, where Bilello lives now. They had two children and four grandchildren.
"She was a very good wife, very good cook, very good mother," he told ABC News. "Wherever my wife would go, I go."
In 2001, Grace was diagnosed with cancer, Bilello said. She underwent an operation, chemotherapy and radiation.
"I thought it was going to be OK," he said.

But three years later, the cancer came back and she went through more chemo and radiation.
"Me and my wife were together all the time," he said. "She goes to chemo, I sit down next to her. And coming home, she lay down on the couch, she's very sick after the chemo and [I] do all the work in the house."
Then several years ago, in 2009, Bilello came up with a fun idea: He and his wife would each sign a dollar bill.
"I told my wife, 'I'm going to sign one on the front: Peter B. I want you to sign one, too, for Grace B.,'" he said. "I put those 2 dollars in my wallet."
The bills stayed there for a year. Then, about five years ago, "By mistake I went shopping," he said. "I don't know where I used the 2 dollars. I came home and told my wife... 'Grace, I made a big mistake today. ... I'm never going to see [the dollars again].'"
Courtesy Bilello Family
The bills may have been gone, but the couple's love kept going. In 2014, they celebrated their 50th anniversary.
In November 2014, after 13 years as a cancer survivor, Grace died.
"I was close with my wife," Bilello said. "Anything she said, I would take care. Doctors, hospitals. I was with my wife all the time. And it made a lot of difference... for sick people to have support of the family."
"I was very supportive of my wife, that's why she lasted 13 years," he added.
Then just weeks ago, Bilello took his granddaughter, Ashley, to a sandwich shop for lunch. He gave her a $10 bill, and when she came back from the store, she handed him 3 single dollars as change. The second dollar he recognized -- it said "Grace B."
"I said, 'Oh my god, Ashley, look.' We started to cry," Bilello said. "We were so happy to get the dollar back. I never thought I'd get that dollar back."
Courtesy Bilello Family
Ashley, 14, said, "I didn't see it at first because I was just giving him back the change. Then when he showed me, at first you didn't believe it, but you still wanted to. But then when he got home, you can look at the signature to see how they matched up."
Bilello said, "I told my granddaughter, we're going to go straight to the cemetery, and tell nonna [grandmother in Italian], my wife, that we got the dollar back. I showed the dollar to my wife and said, 'Grace, look, I got your dollar back."
"It's a miracle to get it back after 5 years," he said. "Who knows how many million people got that dollar in their hands."
He credits Grace with making the miracle happen.
"It happened to be ... the right time and right place," Bilello said. "Nothing like this could happen. It's got to be a miracle."
Now the dollar is in a safe place.
"Nobody's gonna get that dollar anymore," Bilello said. "No way."
And for the dollar he signed himself, "Who knows there it is," Bilello said. "I'd be happy to get my dollar back." |||||

– All it took was the sight of a dollar bill to make Peter Bilello cry. The story goes back 50 years to when the Italian native, now 86, visited his mother back in Italy, ABC News reports. "My mother, she knew this girl," he says. "And my mother says, 'Why don't you get married.'" Sure enough, Bilello and a 23-year-old woman named Grace tied the knot just 40 days later. They moved to Connecticut in 1964, had two kids, four grandkids, and were inseparable, Bilello says. Their bond only grew tighter when she was diagnosed with cancer in 2001: "Me and my wife were together all the time," he says. "Doctors, hospitals. I was with my wife all the time. And it made a lot of difference... for sick people to have support of the family." Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery seemed to work, but her cancer returned three years later. For fun, Bilello had each of them sign a dollar bill in their own name—"Peter B." and "Grace B."—and he kept the bills in his wallet. The bills remained there until he went shopping five years ago, and spent them by mistake: "I came home and told my wife... 'Grace, I made a big mistake today," says the Connecticut resident. "I'm never going to see [the dollars again].'" Grace died of breast cancer last year, not long after their 50th wedding anniversary, WJBF reports. Then it happened: Out for lunch a few weeks ago, Bilello and his granddaughter received the "Grace B." bill as change. "I said, 'Oh my god, Ashley, look.' We started to cry," he says. "We were so happy to get the dollar back. I never thought I'd get that dollar back."

Write an article based on this summary:
Understand what a diuretic does. Get the diuretic furosemide for your dog. Talk to your vet about giving your dog spironolactone.
Article:

A diuretic is a drug that helps to move retained fluid from the body. During heart failure, fluid leaks out of the circulatory system and builds up either within the lungs (pulmonary edema), inside the chest cavity (pleural effusion), or in the abdomen (ascites). Each of these scenarios means the heart has to work even harder to push blood through the tissues and bring about effective oxygen exchange. Getting rid of, or reducing, the amount of retained fluid helps to reduce the load on your dog’s heart. This reduces the effort the heart has to put into circulating blood. Furosemide is a "loop diuretic" which means it works by stopping sodium and chloride (which make up salt) from being reabsorbed by your dog’s kidneys. This then causes your dog to urinate more, which helps to get rid of salt buildup. Furosemide is generally administered twice a day at a dose of 2 mg per kg body weight. For example, a 10 kg Cavalier King Charles Spaniel would start at a dose of 20 mg twice a day. This medication is available in 20 mg and 40 mg tablets, and a 50 mg/ml injectable form. Feed your dog bananas while giving him furosemide. Long term use of furosemide can cause your dog’s potassium levels to drop. To replenish the potassium, you can feed your dog one banana each day. Spironolactone is generally prescribed when you cannot increase your dog’s dose of furosemide any further. This drug works to bind to mineralocorticoid receptors in your dog’s kidney, heart, and blood vessels. Mineralocorticoid receptors help to regulate water transportation and maintain normal salt levels. Spironolactone is generally prescribed as 2 mg per kg once daily by mouth, with food. It comes in 10, 40, and 80 mg tablets. For example, a typical 10 kg Cavalier would take half a 40 mg tablet once daily with food.
