Interlocking spurs on a tributary of the Yangtse. 1  As the river erodes the landscape in the upper course, it winds and bends to avoid areas of hard rock. 2  This creates interlocking spurs, which look a bit like the interlocking parts of a zip.pper-course river features. As the river moves through the upper course it cuts downwards. The gradient here is steep and the river channel is narrow. Vertical erosion in this highland part of the river helps to create steep-sided V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, rapids, waterfalls and gorges.
Hospice & Palliative Care. What is Hospice Care? Formally speaking, hospice care is that which can be provided to patients with a life expectancy of six months or less. Rather than seeking a cure, hospice care aims to make their remaining time with us as comfortable and as meaningful as possible.
Hospice is a program of care and support for people who are terminally ill. Hospice helps people who are terminally ill live comfortably. The focus is on comfort, not on curing an illness. Respite care is a very short inpatient stay given to a hospice patient so that their usual caregiver can rest.
