...part of providing care is to speak with them about what to expect with their illness, what alternatives exist, and to have a conversation about what their preferences are. This shouldn't just happen at the end of life. You should get to know people and have these conversations throughout providing care. I like to talk individually with the patient if they are comfortable with that. If they are more comfortable with having family members there at the time, then I do it with the group. What I need to know from the patients is how they view their illness...
...raise vital campaign funds. The Legislative Branch has made a tradition of taking August off, going back to the first Congress, in New York City in 1790. Back then, the break lasted until December (it often took weeks to travel between New York and some Southern states). Throughout much of the 19th century, Congress adjourned in June or July to escape the heat of Washington summers. Beginning in 1911, however, Congress met frequently in the summer months, particularly during both world wars. Since 1970 the August break has been congressionally mandated, but exceptions are still made in times...
...pious Muslim woman, one of the greatest challenges of modern life is how to get a good workout. In Iran, of course, the state mandates Islamic dress, so secular and faithful women alike must contend with religious codes that interfere with exercise.

Harvard officials have defended the decisions by pointing to the projected 30 percent drop in the value of the University's endowment, and noting that compensation costs comprise roughly half of Harvard's operating budget.Gingo also said...
...nation is often referred to, there's often little choice. The lack of roads and the incredible remoteness of thousands of tiny hamlets and villages throughout the island mean flying is usually the only option to get around. Moala's flight was ferrying a group of 12 passengers to the tiny village of Kokoda, 50 miles northeast of the capital Port Moresby. Onboard flight CG4684 was co-pilot Royden Soauka, and a tour group of nine Australians and their local guide Steven Jaruba, a local businessman. By early on August 14, three days after the crash, authorities reported a 14th...
