Note that while diastolic blood pressure is diminished and the pulse pressure widens, systolic blood pressure generally remains normal or can even be slightly elevated.

Amazon Echo, also known as Alexa, is a voice command device from Amazon.com that is always listening. Its functions include question answering, playing music and controlling smart devices.
(Alexa, for those unaware, is the device's Siri/Cortana/what-have-youalso the word you use to activate its personal assistant, which you can always change to Amazon instead if you'd rather yell out a brand than a name.). Amazon's update also allows you to use the Echo to mess around with others around your house. Simply yell Alexa, Simon says at your device to get Echo to repeat whatever it is you tell it.
