Today is my 35th birthday. Last year I told you about 34 things I still don't know, and the year before that, I told you about 33 things you'll know by the time you're 33. This year has been a particularly rough one for me, but I think I'd like to tell you about 35 unexpected pleasures of adulthood…
1. That in general, the fewer fucks you give about how much people like you, the more people like you.
2. The thing where you used to swear when you were a kid that when you were a grown-up you were going to eat nothing but ice cream for supper? You can totally do that. Unless you've developed adult-onset lactose intolerance. In that case, go with froyo.
3. The phrase, "I'm a grown ass woman. I don't have to take this shit."
4. Vacations.
5. Sundays.
6. Ownership — of a house, a car, or just your own decisions.
7. The many, many opportunities for learning that don't go away after school is over.
8. Choosing the people you'd like to spend the most time with, based on whatever criteria you want to use.
9. Gin.
10. Coffee.
11. Being equipped to help a friend in a real way.
12. Learning to accept real help from your friends.
13. That eventually, hangovers are too traumatic for most of us, and we'd prefer a quiet night on someone's back porch over wild all-night bar-hopping debauchery.
14. Dirty jokes.
15. Disneyland. You guys, it's even more fun as an adult. No kidding.
16. Not being too proud for Tylenol, epsom salts, and Bengay.
17. Loving yourself more as the years pass — your body, your quirks, even your mistakes.
18. The bravery to try literally anything with your hair.
19. Being allowed to read the kind of books you actually like to read without fear of being graded or judged.
20. Swearing.
21. Really good friends.
22. The adult siblings that tortured you (or were tortured by you) as kids, but have grown into interesting, complicated, wonderful people.
23. That age differences between friends matter so much less.
24. Niblings. (This is the gender-neutral term for nieces and nephews, I shit you not.)
25. Being friends with your parents, and also still being allowed to be their baby when you need your mommy and daddy.
26. Romance novels.
27. Jeans that are stretchy. (Are you old enough to remember when jeans weren't stretchy? Those were dark times.)
28. That Animaniacs is so much funnier now.
29. That there is a thing called binge-watching and it's socially acceptable.
30. Still getting carded occasionally at bars.
31. That you never, ever have to go through middle school again.
32. That the things you want start to align more closely with the things you already have.
33. That there will never stop being things that are new and breath-taking to see or hear or share or learn.
34. Laughing, crying, generally emoting more freely.
35. Getting older every year, and finally realizing that it beats the alternative.

WWDC is inching closer by the day, and all eyes will be on what Apple has in store for us with iOS 7. While services and functionality will ultimately be what matters most, there is also immense interest in what the UI for iOS 7 will look like now that Apple design guru Jony Ive is spearheading what promises to be some notable aesthetic changes.
To that end, iDownloadblog earlier this week obtained what it claims is a spy shot of an early alpha build of iOS 7. The picture is blurry, but you can tell that the iOS 7 icons retain the rounded corners we're all familiar with but drop the gradients all together.
With the gradients gone, at least from this shot, the icons do sport a flatter look than what we're used to.
Of course, with all the blurriness, it's hard to really make out what's going on. To that end, iDownloadblog enlisted the help of Surenix to touch up these icons and give us a glimpse into what they may actually look like.
If we had to describe the changes in one word, that would be: unified…
When you look at the current state of stock apps icons, it seems that all of them were designed by different teams. Most of them have a different look. They don't have unified features that tie them all up together. Some of them have a gloss effect. Some of them don't. Some of them have borders. Some of them don't, etc…
While there's no way to know how accurate this representation is, I gotta say, the flat icons look better than I was envisioning.
Note, though, that 9to5Mac followed up with a tweet noting that, "Things have changed a lot since this was taken we're told."
9to5Mac seems to have its finger on the pulse of iOS more than most, so again, take this with a grain of salt.

pavoh Blog - Tips and News
Pavoh, a Waltham, MA-based nonprofit that inspires and celebrates young musicians, is presenting Spring Guitar Lessonsat the Watertown Boys & Girls Club on Thursday afternoons thanks in part to the Watertown Cultural Council who provided a grant to the organization to support the program and purchase guitars. The Watertown Cultural Council is a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. A few openings in both Beginning Guitar and Intermediate Guitar group lessons are available. Contact Chris Crombie at email@example.com register.
"It's important for us to offer something for every interest," said Chris Crombie, program director at the Watertown Boys & Girls Club. "The response to our new music programming at the Club has been great."
Pavoh and the Watertown Boys & Girls Club began its partnership in Fall 2015 with Beginning Guitar Lessons. Pavoh provided a qualified guitar instructor who worked with Club kids to learn new skills. In addition, Pavoh musician Cole Brightbill led Guitar Club every Wednesday, an opportunity for students to practice guitar and explore new songs. All guitar students are encouraged to attend Guitar Club and registration is not required.
The Watertown Boys and Girls Club has been a leading youth development organization since 1972 serving children aged 7-18 from Watertown or any other community through programming aimed at producing positive outcomes.

Scholarships are available if a member cannot afford the dues.
Pavoh, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3), believes that all kids who are inspired to make music should be supported and have the opportunity to connect with resources, performances and other musicians.

Special Coverage
Management Briefing Seminars
RAVERSE CITY, MI – Chrysler LLC has received "stacks of resumes" since it became a private company a year ago, Nancy Rae, executive vice president of communications and human resources, says following her talk at the Management Briefing Seminars here.
During a questions-and-answers session, Rae says the influx of resumes is "running at the highest level in the past five years.
"We're getting people from other industries, too – people who want to be part of a great game-change," she says.
Chrysler's independence as a private concern has been a major motivator, she adds.
Rae participated in a panel focusing on future leadership in the auto industry. Asked what attributes future leaders need, she lists the ability to anticipate trends "and not just get the job done, but come up with solutions and alternatives and take action."
During her talk, Rae says Chrysler is looking at "four key strengths" in evaluating future leaders: motivation, leadership skills, functional experience and business acumen. "Today we're most interested in motivation – you have to be motivated yourself if you're going to motivate, lead and inspire others."
Since control was acquired by private-equity firm Cerberus Holdings LLP in August 2007, "Chrysler has become a dynamic, fast-paced culture (with) an owner-operator mindset," Rae says.
Under Chairman Bob Nardelli, who came aboard with the Cerberus investment, Chrysler has adopted a "customer-driven strategy" that guides its human resources and leadership development activities, she says.
"Bob has spent over 100 hours in HR reviews" with each of Chrysler's top 300 leaders to identify "emerging talent" in the early stages, Rae says.
These folks came up with 100 action items ranging from "fireside chats with small groups of employees to major enhancements of our development program for senior leaders" called the Chrysler Executive Leadership Series.
This series includes meeting with academic and industry leaders outside Chrysler and sessions on business fundamentals, strategic thinking, accountability and more, culminating by year's end with creation of the company's business plan for the following year.
Despite recent rough times in the U.S. auto industry, Chrysler still manages to attract and keep talent, Rae says. Annual attrition runs at 4.2%, which she says is below most industries.
Moreover, "more than 40% of our (salaried) employees hold advanced degrees and 93% have earned undergraduate degrees," Rae points out.

Hello there
Lost expectancy in a contract case means the portion of the contract that the aggrieved party was entitled to receive in the event that the entire contract had been completed as required by the terms of the contract. For example - two parties enter into a construction contract and the contract amount was 12K. One party cancelled the contract on the contractor and he was only paid 8K. The contractor's lost expectancy is the 4K that he expected to receive and never received as a result of the breach of contract by the other party.

For that, blame her 401K, CBS News Correspondent Ray Brady reports.
"Had I been handling it with the supervision of an adviser, my portfolio would be nearly six times more than it is," Howard said.
Sour grapes? Not at all. Like many Americans, Howard admits she knows nothing about stocks and bonds.
"It's difficult for me to understand all this money talk," she said.
So, she let her company handle the money. The company put it in company stock. Some years, Joanne got a return of just 4 percent or less.
"I was stupid," she said with a laugh.
Millions of Americans—most of them still young—are heading toward that same predicament: Companies are slashing or dropping traditional pension benefits that cost 7.5 percent of their payroll. 401Ks cost half that. And, the company wipes its hands of any responsibility for retirement. That's up to the worker.
"I was asleep at the wheel," said high-tech executive Michael Cantleme, who now regrets not having watched his 401K more closely.
"The good news is I made money. The bad news is I could have made a lot more money," Cantleme said.
Now 45, his returns were half of what they could have been.
"A third to 40 percent of those folks look like they are in serious trouble," Brooks Hamilton said.
Hamilton sets up 401Ks for large companies. He has done a major, shocking study:
In 1997, workers making $70,000 to 80,000 a year had 401Ks that went up 26-28 percent a year, enough to fund a cushy retirement.
But, workers making $30,000 a year or under, maybe with less financial experience, show gains of just 4 percent.
And there are millions and million of those workers, Hamilton added.
"We're going to have an entire generation of people reach retirement not in dignity, but in despair. They're not going to be OK. They are going to be a burden to their kids," Hamilton said.
Or a burden to the government and taxpayers. Check these figures: To survive, many families will need a $500,000 nest egg.
Michael Cantelme hopes to fix his problem himself.
"I'm in better control of managing the account than I was," he said.
Yet, even with sound advice, you can make mistakes. Howard got a broker after she retired. He told her to put the $100,000 in her 401K into mutual funds.
She forgot to do it. Months later, the broker said, "Joanne, do you know you would have made 60 percent on your money since then?"

My original blog is Cheryl Writes On… and is devoted to posts less spiritual in nature.
Notes in the Night lives right here at CherylAnnWills.com The title originated from my earliest writing which nearly always began with a middle of the night nudge in my spirit to wake up and write. If you click this link NOTES IN THE NIGHT you'll discover the place where I hope my Catholic spirituality shines. To understand more about the theme of Notes in the Night go to the "About Notes in the Night" drop down under Blog – Notes in the Night.
A blog I spend less time at, but is none the less dear to my heart, is devoted to the antics of my two favorite pets – Jasmine and Gypsy. You can read about them and some lessons they've taught me at Dogs of Our Lives

The office staff was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was very comfy and the maintenance was relativel Read Morey quick to respond. I enjoyed studying pool side, and having a gym to workout in during study breaks. The neighborhood was safe and there are a lot of places to shop and eat close by. The only downfall was the traffic getting to campus during certain times of the day.
January 15, 2014
It was a decent amount of space for the rent fee, and access to the pool and gym (even if really old equipment Read More) was convenient. The company also held regular events for residents like football game watches with free beer which were a good time. However, we did have some problems in the winter months with leaking and water damage from poorly maintained buildings. They didn't even apologize for any of the damage to our items and "fixed" the leaks by puttying over them, and that was frustrating.
January 11, 2014
It was a nice location, the staff was friendly and it had good amenities.
January 11, 2014
Pricing was reasonable for our initial move in. However, our rent increase was high and the maintenance seeme Read Mored to drop in quality. We were able to find a much larger unit for only about $50 more a month (and have happily resided there for four years). Apartments are directly next to railroad tracks, so you will hear trains. Walls are fairly thin (we could hear the ticking of our neighbors clock). Kitchen was spacious and we loved having a vanity in our bedroom. Ample storage space.
January 03, 2014
At first, it seemed like Fox and Hounds was the ideal place to live, especially with its good location. But, t Read Morehere is a reason we only lived there for a year. In that year, our apartment flooded more than 4 times (we lived on a first floor single bedroom unit). The faculty couldnt have handled the situation in a worse way. The apartment had flooded with sewage, also known as "black water". I was the one that had to point this out to them. They were useless in helping, wouldnt replace the carpet

Sea Urchin shawl by Kyoko Nakayoshi
This stunning Sea Urchin shawl appeared in issue 82 of Knit Today magazine. It's by Kyoko Nakayoshi – who works under the name of Cotton and Cloud. She regularly designs for magazines, so you've probably come across her work before, and releases her own collections twice a year. Kyoko also has a beautiful website – check out her look book – and her blog has some amazing insights into the design process – ever wanted to know how to place pattern over short rows?
The Sea Urchin shawl looks decidedly classy and easy to wear and would make an excellent addition to any Spring wardrobe. It's made with 3 skeins of Skein Queen Elixir – alpaca, silk and merino – and to support Kyoko's design, I'll be adding several new colourways to the shop at 5pm GMT today.
Knit Today issue 82 is the February issue and is still available in the shops or by subscription.
The colourways available will be Plumberry, Pink Oyster, Rose Petals, Rambling Rose, Latte and Snow White's Lips.
A huge thanks to Kyoko for creating such a beautiful design and for choosing Elixir to work with.

Bricknell Primary – School Council
Our school council are a hard working and very professional group of pupils, elected by their peers to represent them at weekly school council meetings.
At the end of last term councillors met with Mr Hass to discuss and decide upon new static game panels for the playgrounds! Friends of Bricknell have given the school money to purchase these. Together with Mr Hass, councillors came to a decision and these are currently on order with hopefully arriving around February half term. We will keep you posted on the progress.
The Ebola Crisis fundraising, of filling a large map with 20p's has now ended. Thank you so much for your support and generosity. The map was almost covered and we collected a total of £622.35. Kathleen Guthrie, from Hull's Freetown Society, will be coming to Bricknell and joining an assembly to collect the cheque.
Councillors are already busy this term and are starting plans for organising our yearly Easter Bonanza event. Dates and times to follow.
Also the organising of a 'Pet Festival' where donations of old blankets/towels, tinned pet food and other items can be brought into school which will then be taken to RSPCA, Clough rd. Date to follow shortly.

What are wall ties ?
Have I got wall ties in my house?
The answer is most probably yes! If your house constructed of brick or stone, built after the First World War, you probably have cavity wall ties, installed within the construction.
There are two parts to the cavity wall, inner skin and outer skin brickwork normally referred to the inner leaf and the external leaf. Wall ties are an extremely important factor of the wall construction, due to the relative thickness of the outer skin, in relation to its height of the wall. This ratio between the thickness of a wall and its height is known as the 'slenderness ratio'. Structural engineers calculate this by finding the walls 'radius of gyration'.
If a wall is 112mm thick (the rough thickness of a standard brick), and is 1 meter tall it would have a slenderness ratio of 1:9 – the wall is nine times taller than its thickness, or the thickness is a 9th of the height (both mean the same thing).
So an average house wall of say 5 meters high has a slenderness ration of about 1:45. That is a very high slenderness ratio, which means that a wall built that high and so thin, without support could be pushed over by a gust of wind or a child's hand or distorted by the weight applied from above. Alternatively think about in this way, if you construct a column using, Lego of a single brick has the column grows, it becomes very unstable due to the increasing slenderness ration, and is easily pushed over, or bent when pressure is applied.
As already mentioned a cavity wall is normally constructed of two skins, the inner skin, can be constructed of a similar material, usually brick or block work, but also possibly in some cases timber. It too would have the same slenderness ratio, if it were independent like the outer skin. But, the inner skin benefits from lots of support, which cancels out the slenderness and makes it rigid. These include, the floors, ceiling and wall constructions within the property, which brace it, the roof too, dependent of the type of construction can be and is used, to securely strap the upper areas by means of the wall plate, these points all provide horizontal support.
So with a cavity wall we have a very stable inner wall, which has load bearing structures providing stability. But to provide better protection from the elements, it is encased within the external envelope, which in comparison a very unstable independent structure, which only has its 'self-weight' and little or no bracing to provide lateral restraint.
Wall ties provide the lateral support and stability for the outer skin. Spaced at regular intervals horizontally and vertically, the cavity wall ties are braces which are fixed within the mortar beds of both the internal and external leafs of the walls when the walls are originally constructed. The wall ties, provide stability for the outer leaf by providing fixed points back to the inner supported leaf. In effect the outer leaf when correctly tied, forms part of the overall thickness of the wall, reducing the total slenderness ratio significantly.
So what is wall tie failure and what causes it.
Wall Tie Corrosion is the huge legacy, left over from decades of building cavity walls using wall ties made from mild steel these being finished with paint or a zinc coating for protection, from corrosion.
This mortar was made using a low cost by-product from power stations and used quite widely within the construction of properties, until it was realised that it was a highly corrosive medium in which to bed mild steel wall ties, even if they were galvanised. This mortar was found to be very porous due to its hygroscopic nature (absorbing moisture from the atmosphere) and as such accelerated the corrosion of the wall ties.
The solution to wall tie failure
Olympic Construction has been undertaking, wall tie replacement and structural stabilisation works, due to the effects of wall tie failure for over three generations, and we have the support of a number of structural engineers who specialise in these areas should we require further technical advice.
The remedial wall ties, we install are manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel. These need to be strong enough to provide the required support to the external leaf up but also flexible enough, to allow some slight movement so that the external leaf can move slightly, as a result of thermal movement, which is caused by the wall structure being heated and cooled by the effects of the sun and heat radiated from within the building envelope.

I watched your child from the very day you gave me to her, when she could barely say a word, let alone express her joy when her arms wrapped around my gentle and soft body.
That was my happiest day.
I watched her grow, learn, cry and laugh. She told me her joys, her secrets… when she was sad. And that was when my resentment of you who gave me to her began. You who sent her with tears running freely and a reddened cheek to her room. What had you done, you monster?
She told me. Then added that you didn't mean it. But it still hurt.
It was her thirteenth birthday, and I was sitting on her bed waiting to revel in the joyous stories of her party, to hear how the cake tasted, her friends laughed; when you came upstairs. You muttered under your breath. Something about too many toys and then I was scooped up into a box. That night, in silence, darkness, alone, I realised how replaceable I was to you.
I heard her cry for me. I heard you hit her again; and how the hatred swelled inside of me.
After she forgot about me, her sixteenth birthday passed, (I know, I counted the days) she opened the box to find me once more. A look of joyous nostalgia and warmth lit up her beautiful face. She took me to her room, told me of her life since I was incarcerated. How nice she was to a dusty old friend.
We stayed up late, talking, laughing, reminiscing.
I loved it.
But you wouldn't let me have her back. The next day from downstairs came an uproar beyond all comprehension. I waited with bated breath, saw her flee to her room with a shining knife and you struggled with her for it. How could you? As you took the blade I could smell of booze coming off you stronger than salt off of the sea's waves; and before I can say a word, you plunge the blade deep into her. There's a stunned silence, she staggered backward, fell to the floor.
I watched her grow up. I watched her fall down. I hate you.
If I could only hurt you like you did her.
But I'm just a gifted teddy bear.

TAC from Mycobacterium tuberculosis: a paradigm for stress-responsive toxin–antitoxin systems controlled by SecB-like chaperones

Bacterial type II toxin–antitoxins (TAs) are two-component systems that modulate growth in response to specific stress conditions, thus promoting adaptation and persistence. The major human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis potentially encodes 75 TAs and it has been proposed that persistence induced by active toxins might be relevant for its pathogenesis. In this work, we focus on the newly discovered toxin–antitoxin–chaperone (TAC) system of M. tuberculosis, an atypical stress-responsive TA system tightly controlled by a molecular chaperone that shows similarity to the canonical SecB chaperone involved in Sec-dependent protein export in Gram-negative bacteria. We performed a large-scale genome screening to reconstruct the evolutionary history of TAC systems and found that TAC is not restricted to mycobacteria and seems to have disseminated in diverse taxonomic groups by horizontal gene transfer. Our results suggest that TAC chaperones are evolutionary related to the solitary chaperone SecB and have diverged to become specialized toward their cognate antitoxins.

According to the Labour Law for Managers Loose Leaf Service, you can't expect your employees to 'check their privacy at the door' when they enter the workplace. But you're entitled to expect integrity, honesty and loyalty from your employees.
But what happens when you want to protect your businesses' interests and your employees argues it's an invasion of his privacy?
For instance, let's say you give Joe (your employee) a company car to use for company purposes.
He's allowed reasonable private use of the car. The car is fitted with a tracking device to:
Joe refuses to sign your company car policy because the vehicle will also track his movements when he's off duty. Joe argues that the policy is an invasion of his privacy.
So how do you balance your employee's right and the need to protect your business?
Here's what the law says about installing vehicle tracking devices and your employee's privacy
What about your rights to safeguard your property?
Whilst Joe may have a reasonable expectation of privacy when he's using the car privately, you're the owner of the car and have a financial interest in it.
During periods of private use the car is at risk of being stolen or damaged. Your proprietary (ownership) interest in the car could outweigh his right to privacy.
This means, tracking the vehicle during periods of private use would then be justified.
But what about your employee's right to privacy?
If Joe fears that the tracking device will elicit information about his personal conduct he should simply use an alternative means of transportation.
Well there you have it. Installing car tracking devices is justified. Just be sure you put a policy in place that outlines your reasons for installing tracking devices to avoid misunderstandings.

Junk ethics
At a birthday party in a trendy new bar, I once asked what the 'charlie room' was. Needless to say, the hip young things thought me naive and very uncool. Charlie, otherwise known as cocaine, white lady and nose candy, is still a favourite party drug. In 2001, the National Household Drug Survey found that some 1.3% of the population had used cocaine in the previous year - just over 200,000 people. It's popular amongst two groups: one that is rich, educated and professional, and another that is poor, undereducated, and characterised by criminal behaviour and sex work.
Like many in the ABC audience, actress Dame Helen Mirren belongs to the first group. By her own admission, as a young star she enjoyed cocaine with friends and colleagues. 'I loved coke,' she said, 'I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties'. What makes Mirren's admission exception isn't the use itself - with youth and wealth, celebrities are no strangers to nose candy. What makes Mirren's experience different is her reason for stopping. She read in the newspapers that the Gestapo camp commander Klaus Barbie - the 'Butcher of Lyon' - was in Bolivia, making money from cocaine.'I saw how my little sniff of cocaine at a party,' said Mirren,'had an absolute direct route to this f...ing horrible man in South America.'
Mirren's revelation is important because it illuminates the moral landscape of drug use. Much of the debate around so-called 'hard drugs' centres on their effects on users: addiction, altered perception and criminal activity. Some see drug users as weak, unreliable and dangerous - and some, of course, are. But many users of cocaine, as well as heroin, continue to live happy, healthy, productive lives. Like Mirren, they enjoy the drugs occasionally, and then get on with work and home life. Mirren's admission suggests is that there are other reasons for avoiding drugs: the conditions of their production and distribution.
Cocaine, for example, is routinely seen as a harmless party drug, with none of the stigma of heroin or ice. It makes people obnoxious and arrogant - but rarely for long. But as the Barbie connection reveals, it is often associated with dubious political regimes. And it is frequently trafficked by professional criminals, who have little respect for the civil order that so many users expect and enjoy. This was one of the horrifying aspects of the recent Melbourne CBD shootings: the criminal world of Chris Hudson suddenly colliding with ordinary urban life. And the same can be said for heroin, which has financed war and oppression across the world. Cartels, gangs and tyrants are strange bedfellows for young professionals sniffing charlie in clubs.
This situation is in stark contrast to other areas of consumption. Food and clothing, for example, have now become bona fide ethical issues. Organic, environmentally friendly and 'green' products have their own areas in supermarkets. Consumers routinely choose free-range eggs over caged ones, and fair-trade coffee over its more dubious equivalents. We don't simply focus on the effects of organic or free-range (though they often taste better), we try to assess where they came from, and what sort of practices they support. Why doesn't this happen with drugs?
The obvious answer is criminality. Because these substances are banned, they're part of an unregulated, illicit world: no protections, no occupation safety, no anti-corruption laws. And perhaps more importantly, they're used with the same impunity. For some, to buy cocaine is to knowingly flaunt laws and perhaps conventions; to put aside normal scruples or concerns. In short, hard drugs can be a moral blindspot - and perhaps this is part of their charm.
What caused Helen Mirren to overcome this? In part, it was new information: she simply didn't realise her party drug was linked to this Nazi criminal, and needed the newspaper to fill her in. When she knew, she changed her habits.
But at heart, her choice was about more than ignorance - if we look hard enough, we can find this information ourselves. What marked Mirren's decision was a kind of basic human sympathy: she recognised her money was propping up unsavoury regimes, and wanted no part of it. And perhaps more importantly, she sacrificed so little by doing so: she wasn't giving up clothes, or food, or shelter, but a brief giddiness, or spell of glorious confidence. She decided that her luxury was bought at too high a price - for others.
This, I believe, is the challenge for all those hip young things in their charlie rooms: not simply to get through the night without chemical assistance, but to think beyond their own pleasure, or yearning for distraction. Mirren's lesson is this: sometimes it's a mark of maturity to exchange intoxication for moral reflection.

Palliative Care and Chronic Disease Management programs have been shown to improve health outcomes, quality of life and life expectancy, while also reducing costs and hospitalizations for patients with chronic diseases. Palliative care is both a philosophy of care and an organized, highly-structured system for delivering care that identifies and addresses the physical, psychological, spiritual and practical burdens of illness.
Palliative Care focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of ill patients, rather than just focusing on a cure. Palliative care can be adjunctive to curative treatments; however, the main focus is on improving the patient's quality of life. Such care is appropriate to those suffering with cancer, heart conditions, liver failure, renal failure, Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injuries and a number of other chronic and/or life-threatening conditions. Members of palliative care teams collaborate with professional, clinical, and informal caregivers to ensure coordination, communication and continuity of care across institutional and home care settings. Its unique design allows for a longitudinal experience across all three years of training.
Chronic Disease Management overlaps and shares many similarities with palliative care. The majority of patients receiving palliative care have a serious or life-threatening chronic disease. However, chronic disease management focuses on the entire spectrum of chronic disease, including diseases that may not be at a life-threatening stage.
Dr. Dalla Tor graduated from the UCLA School of Medicine, completed his residency at Kaiser Permanente Woodland Hills and is board certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Dalla Tor remained at Kaiser and worked as a Family Medicine physician. After spending seven years at Kaiser, he decided to enter the family medicine teaching field and is now a faculty physician at PIH Health.
Dr. Shah completed the honors program in medical education at Northwestern University and completed his residency at the PIH Health Family Medicine Program. He has held an academic faculty position at California Hospital Family Practice Residency and has been with PIH Health since 1999, where he served as Associate Program Director for three years prior to becoming Program Director. Dr. Shah also holds an MBA from the Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine and is board certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

Elementary School Admissions
To learn more about our admissions process, please fill out our admissions inquiry form. Our elementary school admissions process has six required steps that begin in September of each year:
1. Attend an Information Session.
This event will provide you with a complete introduction to the school campus and our practices and philosophy. Attending an information session is a required part of the admissions process. If you previously attended an information session, you do not need to attend another one. This session is for adults only. Sessions begin in September 2017.
2. Submit Your Application Form Online.
The online application, including a $100 fee, must be submitted by January 15, 2017, at 10:00am (Pacific time), but we suggest applying early to have your choice of dates for the elementary readiness assessment, classroom simulation, and parent interview.
3. Sign up for an Elementary School Readiness Assessment.
The elementary readiness assessment is a 60-minute, one-on-one meeting between the child and an independent child development consultant at our school. The assessment will allow the school to better understand each child's academic, physical, and socio-emotional strengths. We encourage parents to schedule the parent interview and elementary school readiness assessment at the same time if possible.
4. Schedule a Classroom Simulation.
Classroom simulations provide an opportunity for your child to meet and interact with our teachers and other similar age students in a classroom setting. These simulations are mandatory for admissions and take place in January and February. Once you have submitted an application online, you will receive an email with instructions on how to sign up online for a classroom simulation.
5. Sign up for a Parent Interview.
The parent interview is a 30-minute meeting with the Director of Admissions, and it gives us a chance to meet with prospective parents individually. Once you have submitted an application, you will receive an email with instructions on how to sign up online for a parent interview.
6. Submit a Confidential Evaluation Form From your Child's Current School.
Please download either the Kindergarten – 1st Grade Teacher Evaluation Form or the 2nd Grade – 6th Grade Teacher Evaluation Form.
The admissions season for the 2017-2018 school year has closed. Information about the 2018-2019 school year will be posted in Summer 2017.

All of the above is completely mysterious to me and a good example of why I avoid Windows at all costs. Sorry I can't be more help... There's nothing unusual about JCHEVM's native code dispatch. However, JCHEVM constructs dynamic function calls itself (instead of using libffi like SableVM does). So if C calling conventions under Cygwin (which are what?) are different than Linux, you could see misalignment of parameters, etc. > Also, I modified files in Harmony Classlib's native-src directory. > This might mean we need to add an additional level below > enhanced/gnuclasspathadapter/.

I don't yet see why the gnuclasspath adapter can't be completely generic. Doesn't (or shouldn't) the adapter consist only of Java classes?

All relationship success is based on the compatibility between the 2 people in that relationship.
Most Helpful Guy
I think it's about not letting how people WILL treat you on the outside get to you. In public you'll always be seen as an interracial couple and that's what your identity will be. But in private when it's just the two of you no B. S. judgement that means nothing from the outside world has any say. It's just you two. In private you're just a couple with no racial barriers. That's how I and my ex (we broke up for completely different reasons) chose to see it. I'm white and she was black and yeah in public just about everywhere someone always had something to say or give us a not so subtle look. But in private none of that mattered. We got to be ourselves.22|00|0

Dragon Age: Origins
How do I change to a mouse, in the first part of the fade?
How do u transform while in the fade?
82cgunn - 7 years ago
Top Voted Answer
Once you have spoken with the mouse and he gives you his power, there will be a set of 4 buttons on a sort of compass like graphic on the upper right hand corner of your screen. One of those 4 buttons will be mouse form, the others at this point will be black. Just click on it to change. To change back to humanoid form you can click it again or hit #1 key.
thechronocore (Expert) - 7 years ago
Go through the first door/portal in the fade and you will encounter a demon attacking a mouse. Kill the demon and the mouse will thank you, and grant you his shape as a reward. Once you have acquired mouse form on the right hand side of the screen a compass-shaped toolbar will open. In this toolbar you can see four slots, one of which now being the mouse form. Click the mouse icon and you should change right away, so long as you're standing still.
TweaktheReaper - 7 years ago
Hold down LT and move the left stick until it highlights "advanced". Click A. From here you can either highlight the mouse and assign it a tactics spot, or you can just click A again to transform once. To transform back to human, press X.

By Perry Bacon Jr.
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, December 23, 2010; 7:47 PM
Having signed into law a repeal of the military's ban on openly gay service members, President Obama now faces pressure from his allies to move on a much tougher and divisive issue: gay marriage.
Obama has long said that his preference is for states to create civil unions for same-sex couples that convey the legal protections and rights of marriage.
"I think that's the right thing to do," he said Wednesday during a news conference. "But I recognize that [for same-sex couples] it is not enough, and I think [that] is something that we're going to continue to debate."
Gay rights activists are pressing that debate, urging Obama to publicly call for states to allow same-sex marriage. It is fundamentally unfair, they say, that a gay soldier could die while serving but not be allowed in most states to marry his or her partner.
Conservatives, meanwhile, are warning that the American public would not welcome such a move by the president. Polls show that voters are far more supportive of allowing gays to serve in the military than they are of gay marriage.
Indeed, public opinion is so divided on the issue that the president would probably need months to sway voters to his position - time and attention that would potentially limit his ability to work on issues such as the economy.
Obama seems to recognize the political quandary.
At the news conference and during an interview this week with the gay and lesbian magazine the Advocate, he praised the same-sex couples he knows and noted the broad support of same-sex marriage by people who are in their 20s.
But rather than declare his support for gay marriage, Obama hedged, saying that his views on the subject are "evolving" and that "I struggle with this." He did not reverse his previous position that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
"It's good to hear his views are not solidly where they have been, but he's still not there on marriage," said Brian Moulton, chief legislative counsel of the Human Rights Campaign, an influential gay rights group based in Washington.
But noting Obama's remarks this week about the importance of treating gay soldiers equally in the military, Moulton said, "It's hard to square that circle" with his refusal to publicly call for formalized gay marriage.
"Support for gay rights is no longer the third rail of political danger that it perhaps once was," said John Aravosis, a prominent liberal blogger. "There's really no excuse for the president's, or any Democratic politician's, reticence on marriage equality."
Andrea Lafferty, a conservative activist who runs the Traditional Values Coalition, scoffed at Obama's remarks, saying his views "are not evolving. He was always for homosexual marriage. But he knows the majority of the American public doesn't support it."
White House officials emphasized that Obama spoke about gay marriage in response to questions from reporters. The administration does not plan any major push on same-sex marriage, aides say, and they have given no timeline as to when, or even if, Obama might reconsider the issue.
It's unclear whether Obama would gain any political advantage from publicly backing gay marriage. Those calling most fervently for his intervention already back the Democratic Party, and most polls show a plurality of Americans still oppose the idea, although the number of proponents is growing.
A Pew Research Center poll released in October showed 48 percent of people nationally opposed gay marriage, while 42 percent were in favor, compared with 54 percent opposition and 37 percent support in 2009.
A majority of Democrats and people younger than 30, groups that largely already back Obama, support legalizing gay marriage. But voters 65 and older, a critical part of the electorate that swung heavily to the GOP in 2010, are mostly opposed to the idea.
Obama's views on same-sex marriage may be symbolically important, but they would have little direct impact on overturning policy, unlike with "don't ask, don't tell." Marriage law is largely set by states, five of which allow same-sex couples to wed, as does the District of Columbia.
But it remains a potent political issue. No sitting president has declared his support for same-sex marriage, and in 2004, President George W. Bush called for a constitutional amendment to ban it. Voters in 11 states approved provisions that year that defined marriage as solely between a man and a woman.
Support for civil unions for gays and gay marriage has grown since then. But during the 2008 presidential campaign, both Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the leading Democratic candidates, refused to add gay marriage to their platforms, despite the urgings of liberal activists.
Until the last few months, Obama had said little about gay marriage since his election, and gay rights activists focused on repealing "don't ask, don't tell."
But in an October interview with liberal bloggers, Obama suggested that his views had been affected by his close relationships with gay couples. He added, "I think it's pretty clear where the trend lines are going" in public opinion polls on the issue.
Obama has said he will seek the repeal of a 1996 federal law called the Defense of Marriage Act, but the White House has not pushed the issue.
The law defines marriage as between a man and woman and allows states that don't recognize gay marriages to ignore such ceremonies performed elsewhere. It also blocks same-sex spouses from receiving a number of federal benefits that accrue automatically to heterosexual spouses, including those related to Social Security, survivorship and inheritance.
Given the politics surrounding the issue, it appears likely that Obama would refrain from any support of gay marriage until after 2012, either as a reelected president who no longer has to face voters or as a private citizen who doesn't hold office. Former president Bill Clinton took the latter route last year, when he announced his support for same-sex marriage.
"I appreciate what [Obama] said" Wednesday, said Peter Rosenstein, a longtime gay rights activist in the District. "But what would be nice would be, rather than waiting for the public to evolve, if he were to lead the country to accept marriage equality."

In the second qualifying session for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Highcroft Racing team moved up to first in the LMP2 class. The Connecticut-based team is making its first appearance at the Sarthe circuit and yesterday's practice and first qualifying session were spent learning about its new low downforce bodywork on its HPD ARX-01c chassis.
Early on Thursday evening, David Brabham turned a lap of 3:34.537, improving Highcroft's time by nearly three seconds and vaulting the team past Strakka Racing's ARX-01c, which held the provisional pole after Wednesday's two-hour qualifying sessions with a lap of 3:36.168.
The third and final two-hour session starts at 10 p.m. Thursday evening, leaving one final chance for teams to improve times prior to the grid being set for Saturday's start. Although rain was expected for Thursday, skies cleared before the 7 p.m. session started and conditions remained clear and cool until it ended at 9 p.m.
In the LMP1 category, there were no changes among the top 16 teams from Wednesday as teams concentrated on race set-ups. Rebellion Racing's No. 12 entry shared by Marco Andretti, Nicolas Prost and Neel Jani posted its first qualifying time after a broken suspension suffered in the first practice prevented the team from participating in Wednesday's session. That put the team 19th on the grid over-all and 17th in LMP1.
In GT1, the Marc VDS Racing team's Ford GT moved up to second on the provisional grid behind the Aston Martin DB9 entry of Young Driver AMR that retained the provisional pole. The VDS car is shared by Eric De Doncker, Bas Leinders and Marcus Palttala.
In GT2, the biggest improvement was made by the AF Corse SRL Ferrari team, which moved into second on the provisional grid behind the Risi Competizione Ferrari. The car shared by Jean Alesi, Giancarlo Fisichella and Toni Vilander gained nearly three seconds with a lap of 3:59.837 and moved up four positions.
Both BMW M3 Team Schnitzer entries improved considerably from Wednesday's first session. The No. 78 BMW shared by Jorg Muller, Uwe Alzen and Augusto Farfus dropped 2.893 seconds off its best time with a lap of 4:01.893. The No. 79 entry shared by Dirk Werner, Andy Priaulx and Dirk Muller improved by 2.636 seconds with a lap of 4:03.215.
