    The Social Security Administration recently announced that, in 2017, beneficiaries will receive a cost-of-living adjustment of 0.3 percent.  But about 70 percent of beneficiaries will not see any increase in their Social Security benefits because every dollar of the increase will go to pay for higher Medicare premiums.  What will happen to the other 30 percent of beneficiaries depends on the mood of the Congress.

    "Fentanyl can kill extremely fast, because it is extremely potent, and for someone who is completely unaware that they're even using fentanyl, they can be dead within minutes," Hail said.

    The effects of fentanyl are 50- to 100-times worse than heroin or oxycodone

    One of the most common medications used to treat overdose victims is called Narcan. Lots of first responders carry it on them.

    We are told sometimes the normal Narcan dose they use isn't enough to stabilize someone who has overdosed on fentanyl.

    If you have any questions about fentanyl, contact the North Texas Poison Center, toll-free, at 1-800-222-1222 or visit the center's website.

    For now, Rex recommended that patients should speak with their doctors about ways to improve the tolerability and cleansing effect of their preparation process before a colonoscopy.
    "If your doctor has advised a colonoscopy, it's better to not put it off," he said.
    • Colonoscopy prep food bars, smoothies have been developed
    • They are scheduled to enter phase 3 trials next year

    A woman holds dolls depicting the folk saint Maximon, during the saint's feast day celebrations in San Andres Itzapa, west of Guatemala City, on Oct. 28, 2016. He is often associated – though not by the official church – with St. Simon the Zealot, whose feast day is Oct. 28. But unlike other saints in Latin America, Maximon is seen by his followers as being able to grant both good and evil requests – from helping to yield better crops to finding love to recovering from an illness to taking revenge on an enemy.

    So what kind of bonus are you getting this year?

    A gem dealer in India has announced an extraordinarily generous giveaway for his staff to mark the Hindu festival of Diwali, pledging to hand out 1,260 cars and 400 apartments.

    Savjibhai Dholakia, head of the diamond trading company Hare Krishna Exports, said the gifts are part of a company policy to enrich his staff, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

    “Our aim is that each employee must have his own home and car in the next five years. So we have decided to gift cars, homes and jewellery to employees,” Dholakia told the news agency.

    Dholakia has reportedly been making similar donations to his employees since 2012, and he has said the bonuses were in recognition of their outstanding performance and commitment.

    The company, based in India’s gems hub of Surat, also has a loyalty program that will distribute some $7 million to an unknown number of staff from its 5,500-strong workforce, AFP reports.
