Thoughts on directing Troilus & Cressida...
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -Albert Einstein
In writing Troilus and Cressida, Shakespeare serves us a prepackaged story about love gone awry after wedging it amidst the iconography of the Trojan War, a legend fecund with messages of the inhumanities of war. The play itself is laced with cynicism and foreboding morals about the follies of both love and war. Looking at the missteps of love and war and two discrepant stories, the challenge emerges as we attempt to conceptualize a production that not only links, but transmogrifies the plots, intertwining the messages in a way that affects us while maintaining the innate duality of the piece.
Overarching the separate storylines, there is a thread of strife for honor— a desire to be honored by others and a need to do what we, as a society, deem honorable. Honor is an interesting concept as it cannot exist within a vacuum, it requires an audience. The idea that anything can be honorable in either love or war is distressing because it seems that, in acknowledging the need for honor, the characters in Troilus and Cressida acknowledge either the fact that they are characters in a play, or that they are somehow aware of their own historical significance.
In order to allow our audience to truly rest as an outside force looking down upon the plot as though through a pane of glass, we have allowed the text to populate a world outside of our own. A world which, although unreal, could become a reality someday. Set in a world that is neither past nor future we see people who are dictated by a culture we do not recognize make the mistakes that we ourselves make everyday. We hope that by creating a world outside of our own that is influenced by our world, just as Shakespeare did, we can allow our audience to freely, actively criticize and comment on the pitfalls of love and war, just as Shakespeare did.

...Assad, in his speech, called on Israel to respond publicly to peace overtures from Damascus.
"The Israelis should remember that the price of peace is lower than the cost of war," Assad said.
But, he said, Syria wanted "certain guarantees" from Israel - namely a promise for a full withdrawal from the Golan Heights as part of a peace deal, before negotiations would begin.
"There must be guarantees to return the whole land," Assad said. "We cannot enter negotiations without knowing what they're going to be about. They must present a word of trust or something written."
The Syrians should also remember that peace is better than war. What guarantees is Syria going to offer prior to negotiations? As Assad was speaking, it seems that Syrian reservists were being called to their posts - or so it is reported. What does it mean? A rumor? a misunderstanding? an exercise?
A tiny flaw in Bush's Middle East Plan?

I know I'm a little late getting this post up, but where I live, we still have one hour left of National White Cane Safety Day, so I thought I would post a little about blindness, dolls, and canes.
I appreciate the movement of many doll companies to represent greater diversity in their dolls, including children with disabilities. However, I feel that most doll-makers aren't quite there when it comes to blindness. They have wheelchairs, hearing aids, and even service dogs, but no white canes. I found an excellent post here about why that is a problem. Most blind kids in the target age range are far more likely to use a white cane than a guide dog. I remember how empowered my newly-diagnosed daughter felt when she first met another blind child, and he gave her a white cane! Children need to know that there are others out there like them.
Doll-sized canes are super easy to make. (I am surprised American Girl has not capitalized on that fact yet and started selling them at $30 a pop.) I found many great tutorials, and I've made several dolly canes of my own using dowels, balloon sticks, or even rolled up paper. Click here for an easy how-to, and a great blog about raising a young girl with progressive vision loss.
Cute as a Daisy is a great Etsy Shop selling cute, authentic doll canes for a good price. There are two different styles, $10 each. This shop also has great cloaks for dolls and girls. I did find a few other online sites that sold white canes for dolls, but most of them come with a guide dog, and they aren't very realistic.
The National Federation of the Blind has a free white cane program for blind individuals to receive a free white cane. They have many sizes, including kiddie canes, and you can order a new one every six months (which is just about how long it takes my daughter to either break or grow out of her old cane). For a small donation, you can help the NFB provide free canes to others. They even list the name of the donor on each cane they send. I love reading the name on my daughter's new cane and talking about how someone made a donation to help out people like her.
As an early childhood educator, I understand the importance of doll play, but sometimes I underestimate its power, especially for children with special needs. My daughter, who has a degenerative eye disease along with several other health problems, goes to a special school. We are blessed that the school is not too far away, and she receives free transportation, but she has to get up early to catch the van an hour before school starts. Getting ready for school can be very difficult, and some days she just won't cooperate.
Today was one of those mornings. She didn't want to get up, and she would not do anything I asked. When I tried to give her an asthma treatment, she started kicking me and hiding under the blanket. I was just about to start yelling at her, but I know from past experience that this tactic doesn't work at all, so I tried to just stop and think how to best help her. Then I spied her American Girl doll across the room, and inspiration struck. I held the inhaler in the doll's tiny hand and adopted a small, high-pitched voice that I thought might come from someone 18 inches tall. "This is Saige. Can I give you your medicine this morning?" To my amazement, it worked. My daughter stopped kicking and allowed the doll to administer her inhaler. When Saige buttered her toast, she ate it right away. She even let Saige brush and style her hair. Giving my daughter her seizure medication is one of the most difficult parts of the day, but she took it with no fuss after a warning from Saige that if she got medicine in Saige's hair, it would get ruined. She didn't spill a drop, and Saige even gave her a high-five afterward.
I was skeptical if this type of pretending would work with a nine-yr-old, but it was like magic. Having the doll help her get ready took away the element of a power struggle. My daughter was refusing to obey me because she wanted to prove that she had control, but she didn't have anything to prove to an 18-inch piece of plastic. It kind of put a buffer between me and her. "Ok, I am doing this, but not because YOU asked." Even though she knows her doll isn't real, it's comforting to pretend that she has a comrade who's on her side. I was trying to make her get ready as her mother, but the doll was able to help her as a friend.
Fifteen minutes later, my daughter happily trotted out to the van after saying goodbye to her doll, and then it was my turn to give Saige a high five. Doll play is definitely a powerful thing for children with special needs, but it is because it gives children a sense of their own power in a world that is so often out of their control and leaves them feeling helpless. Who knew 18 inches of plastic could do that?

Tyrie attacks Bank of England crisis conflicts
By Peter Walker
Bank of England executives and non-executive directors on its Court failed to adequately respond to the financial crisis due to hierarchical 'groupthink', widespread conflicts of interest and self-interested back-covering, Andrew Tyrie has said.
Responding to the publication today (7 January) after a six-year wait of the minutes from the Court of the Bank of England covering the period 2007 and 2009, Mr Tyrie stated that they show that during the crisis the Bank of England did not have a board worthy of the name.
In its own statement to go alongside the minutes, the Bank admitted during the period it was operating within a limiting statutory framework which has since been revised, with the court much larger than at present.
In particular it cited "a number of members had standing conflicts of interest" and that there was no provision for a non-executive chairman.
The notes show the bank was apparently unaware of the impending crash up to a month before it happened, revealing that while liquidity was identified as a "central concern" in July 2007, no action was taken.
According to FTAdviser parent paper the Financial Times, the minutes also reveal that former governor Lord King kept the Bank's governing body in the dark on key matters of internal dissent and denied non-executive directors information about financial stability.
Lord King told the FT: "What matters to the country are the decisions we took, and those decisions prevented a repetition of the Great Depression and made it possible for the recovery that is now underway."
In addition to the comprised nature of the board, the Bank also said in its statement it was restricted and had no powers to take actions to manage macro-prudential risks as it was not responsible for banking supervision following the establishment of the Financial Services Authority.
"The roles, in a crisis, of the bank, the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority were ill-defined.
"These deficiencies were rapidly identified during the period covered by the minutes, and were addressed both by the 2009 Banking Act and subsequently by the 2012 Financial Services Act, which radically changed both the role of the bank and the structure of its governance."
The Treasury Committee has been calling for the minutes to be released since 2011, so its chairman Andrew Tyrie welcomed the move, but also levelled strong criticism of executives and the role of the court in particular.
"The Court's job should not have been to second guess the Bank's executive or policy-makers, but it should have been able to provide effective challenge to the executive, and to make clear that, where appropriate, it would conduct retrospective reviews of bank policy and performance."
Mr Tyrie stated that even when questions were asked by individual non-executive directors, the executive usually presented a unified front to the Court, apparently rendering it of little or no use as a forum for creative discussion and constructive challenge.
The minutes reveal several examples of this, with Mr Tyrie accusing the Bank of being a very hierarchical organisation, with clear signs of 'groupthink' among its leadership. He also sought to criticise the court for not challenging the executive strongly.

Neurodevelopmental movements and sensory activities are introduced to the parents and child over the coarse of one or two one hour sessions. One or two weeks later we check in to see how the home activity program is doing. It is an opportunity for parents to ask questions and for us to tweak the program to better accommodate the child so that it is fun and doable and not anxiety producing. The total daily time needed to perform the activities will be anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the age and attention span of your child.
Thereafter a once a month one hour session, or as required, is scheduled to update the home activity program. Initially it is recommended that the child perform the neurodevelopmental movements and sensory activities for a period of 21 consecutive days to establish the nerve connections. After this, the home program is continued for several months to 'hardwire' the brain. An occasional day missed after the initial 21 days or a week during the holidays will not matter that much, but the rate at which your child progresses depends greatly on the frequency he/she engages in these activities. It is through repetition of movements that the brain is able to mature and the pathways needed for learning are established. It could take a year or more for the physical body to incorporate major changes. However progress can be seen within a month of doing the activities regularly.
It is recommended to schedule a 6 months re-evaluation to chart the progress of your child.
The idea with a remediation program, says Svea Gold, "is not to teach the child to change his behavior - which he can't - but to change his neurological development so that his behavior will change. The intent is not to solve his emotional problems, but to give him a totally coordinated body so that he does not constantly have to compensate for his weakness."
Disclaimer: All of the remedial activities, procedures and movements mentioned are not medical treatments, they are used for educational purposes only, to help retrain or to reeducate the brain. Clients may experience notable improvements following the sensory-motor programs, however Yvette does not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, disease, mental disorder or emotional disorder.

Can food make us happy? Not as in 'Oh God, this cheesecake makes my tummy smile', but in terms of micronutrients which boost mood. The short answer is yes, and the good news is that happiness is – theoretically – just a salad away.
Studies from all over the world support the idea that those eating more fruit and veg are happier – and more optimistic. A study done here in the UK showed that the more fruit and veg people ate, the happier they felt. Plants contain more Vitamin C which aids the manufacture of dopamine aka the 'zest for life' neuro-transmitter, and the antioxidants found in fruit and veg reduce inflammation which may lead to higher levels of well-being. Other studies have reported a virtuous circle – we are more likely to eat healthily when we are feeling positive – which increases our feelings of positivity. Research shows this is particularly true of young adults – and, additionally, eating more fruit and veg one day led to increased feelings of positivity the next. But seven or eight portions a day are needed to notice a meaningful change, which is quite a lot to get into a grumpy teenager (I know, I've tried).
Our moods – and sleep patterns – are regulated by serotonin, and we need an amino acid called tryptophan in our diets to help us create this crucial neurotransmitter. When I was in Melbourne earlier this year I visited the wonderfully-named Serotonin Eatery, a beautiful café where the menu is high on tryptophan-packed foods like bananas, sweet potato, brown rice and oats. I met the (very happy) owner, Emily Hazell, who explained these foods 'are all complex carbohydrates that have a low GI, which stabilises your mood'. The gorgeously glowing Emily came up with the idea for the Eatery when she noticed how many people, her included, were stuck in a "stimulant cycle" of coffee, sugary snacks and alcohol. The café menu is plant-based, providing food to help keep our mood and our gut happy. Everything there is geared to making you smile, from the swing in the courtyard to the cinnamon smiley faces on the lattes. The menu is delicious – variations on avocado on toast, deconstructed (vegan) sushi bowls and 'positive pancakes'. (I'll post some pix on social media – you can find us on Twitter @kaleandcocoa and on Instagram @kaleandcocoa).
But Melbourne is a long way to go for lunch and there is plenty of happy food to be found closer to home. Omega 3 fatty acids have a vital role to play in maintaining neuron function – so that's oily fish, nuts and seeds – as do B vitamins from wholegrains, pulses and leafy green veg. At Kale & Cocoa we're well aware of the power of the microbiome, and it's no surprise to learn that a healthy gut flora is a happy gut flora. When gut microbiota doesn't function at peak capacity, it can result in inflammatory responses that may affect nervous system and brain function (you can read more here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21135322) .
A balanced microbiota is needs a diet rich in the foods that nourish beneficial bacteria and reduce harmful microbial species. Beneficial microflora can be supported by eating fermented foods such as tempeh, sauerkraut, kefir and yoghurt, (see our post on fermented foods here).
After a week of eating Easter eggs I'm glad to see that cocoa polyphenols have a positive impact on the brain, and mood – but I know that highly processed sugar (along with refined flour and trans fats) does not. So wean the family off the white stuff with these delicious pancakes. They taste like the love child of chocolate mousse and our porridge pancakes. Made with tryptophan-boosting banana, oats and cacao they are bound to put a smile on your face. They are sugar-, dairy and gluten-free so perfect for breakfast or a pudding. It's worth hunting down raw cacao to get the chocolate taste without added sugar – I buy it at Holland & Barrett or our local health food store. I like to serve these pancakes with yoghurt and cherries (defrosted frozen ones at this time of year) for a Black Forest Gateau vibe.
Blitz the bananas, eggs, oats, cacao, baking powder and vanilla in a blender until well mixed. If you can leave the mixture to sit for a few minutes at this point, so much the better.
Heat a couple of teaspoons of coconut oil in a frying pan. Add tablespoons of mixture to the pan to make the pancakes – you should get 6-8 from this amount of mixture. Cook on a medium heat until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes. Carefully flip over and cook on the other side for a couple of minutes until golden. Keep going until you've used up all the mixture, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed. Serve with yoghurt and cherries or berries.
On this side of the pond we eat LOADS of pancakes. My current favorite recipes are 1) 1 banana, 1 or 2 eggs, ~1/4 c. almond flour, ~1/4 c. pancake mix, whiz in blender, and 2) 1 cooked sweet potato, 1 or 2 eggs, ~1/4 pancake mix, whizz in blender, and I'll add blueberries and/or pecans to either recipe if on hand, a little milk if necessary to get desired consistency, and serve with yogurt and – of course – maple syrup. Or I will mix the two recipes together. I call them "pseudo-paleo" because I like to add a little pancake mix, which I find really helps both the flavor and texture. Of course, over here we have entire aisles devoted to pancake mix; my favorite brand is "Krusteaz" – I don't know if you can find it in the UK. I will definitely try your chocolate recipe!
Thanks so much Nan! I love the idea of sweet potato pancakes – will definitely give that a go. I make 'paleo pancakes' for the girls to have before rowing training with protein powder, almonds and eggs but they are a bit rubbery so I'm sure that a bit of pancake mix would improve the texture. Sadly Krusteaz only available here in 10lb bags from Amazon. The girls' favourite pancakes are the porridge recipe on the blog!
This is definitely one of my favourites for the children they love it!
So pleased to hear that Honor!

They can be easily seen around the confluence of lakes Padam Talab, Milak Talab and Raj Bagh Talab. Other animal residents at the park are Sloth Bear, Porcupines, Wild Boar, Leopard, Chinkara, Marsh Crocodile, Jackals, Gazzelle, Indian Hare, Jungle Cat, Sambhar, Mongoose, Nilgai and Monitor Lizards. The park is home to several resident as well as migratory birds and thus is also a bird watcher's delight.

Kelsea Ballerini Unapologetically embrases love during Ryman Auditorium headlining debut
theadmin February 16, 2018 Press Release, Tours No Comment
Powerfully standing in front of an illuminated heart backdrop to a rapturous standing ovation, Black River Entertainment's KELSEA BALLERINI personified loss, life – and especially love – during her headlining debut at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium last night.
Wearing UNAPOLOGETICALLY song titles boldly emblazoned across her bedazzled custom tunic, Ballerini epitomized all of the "blood, sweat, and heartbeats" her critically acclaimed sophomore album was personally made with. "Each song was an album cut," The Tennessean noted of her chronological setlist, "but audiences sang the words as surely as if each song were a hit."
Despite fighting the flu, Ballerini thrived from the palpable energy of the sold-out Mother Church, with tunes such as the anthemic title track and the lyrically cheeky "I Hate Love Songs" resonating perfectly with the lovestruck holiday. Celebrating her first Valentine's Day as a married woman, she also welcomed her husband, MORGAN EVANS (Warner Music Nashville), as a surprise guest. Introducing an unreleased song by Evans titled "Dance With Me," he sweetly admitted that it was the first song he had penned for Ballerini just six weeks after dating. The fitting duet marked the first time the couple has publicly performed together.
The history-making Country superstar ended her milestone show with a stirring encore of her PLATINUM-certified, landmark #1 smash hit, "Love Me Like You Mean It," from her GOLD-certified, breakout album THE FIRST TIME. Stripped from the "bells and whistles," Ballerini returned to her pure singer-songwriter roots with only her acoustic guitar to accompany her. "I want it to be me and you, because it's always been me and you," she humbly shared onstage, before leading an impassioned sing-along off-mic in closing.
Back on the road tomorrow (2/16), Ballerini will continue THE UNAPOLOGETICALLY TOUR at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL, before headlining Universal Orlando Resort's Mardi Gras celebration Saturday (2/17) inside the Music Plaza in Orlando, FL. Guests with a park ticket or Annual Pass are expected to enjoy a lively constellation-themed parade with performances by bands from the Big Easy prior to showtime.
With 12 cities sold out, limited tickets remain for the nationwide trek in Clearwater, FL (2/16), Columbus, OH (2/22), and Santa Barbara, CA (4/25). Ballerini is also slated for big international appearances during C2C: Country to Country 2018 in London, United Kingdom (3/9) and Dublin, Ireland (3/11); CMC Rocks in Ipswich, Australia (3/17 and 3/18); and a continuation of THE UNAPOLOGETICALLY TOUR with a sold-out stop at Metro Theatre in Sydney, Australia (3/20).

Q: Getting jQuery $.post to send data to a PHP file I'm trying to post some data to a PHP file using jQuery. If I send the data via a form everything works just fine, but I want it to send in the background via jQuery. The click function works (except $.post), because I have tested it with an alert() and when I comment out the $.post line everything else works. If I don't comment out the $.post line the last two lines don't work.
Here is my javascript stored in admin.js:
$(document).ready(function(){

    $(".admin-refresh").click(function () {
        var movieID = $(this).prev().text();
        $.post("actions.php", {refreshMovie: yes, movieID: movieID});
        $(this).removeClass('btn-warning');
        $(this).addClass('btn-success');
    });

});

Here is some of the code from actions.php. This file is working if I post the data via form.
//Refresh Movie Details
if ($_POST['refreshMovie']) {

  $movieID = $_POST['movieID'];

Here is the code from active-movies.php, which contains the button that activates the javascript.
<button class="btn admin-refresh"><i class="icon-refresh"></i> Refresh</button>

The files are stored as such ROOT/admin/active-movies.php, ROOT/admin/actions.php, and ROOT/includes/js/admin.js.
Thank you for any help you can offer!

A: At least one of your problems is here.
{refreshMovie: yes, movieID: movieID}

should be
{refreshMovie: "yes", movieID: movieID}

A: Try adding a third argument to the $.post() (a callback) like:
$.post("actions.php", {refreshMovie: yes, movieID: movieID}, function(response){
    // actions.php should return some data to check if the
    // action was successful
    // that data will be available as a variable ("response")
   if ( response == 'success' ) {
       // do something
   } else {
       // do something else
   }
});

A: Just enclose the parameters names into quotes, because the JS will make the mistake to think that movieID:movieID is like Kung Fu Panda:Kung Fu Panda.
{'refreshMovie': 'yes', 'movieID': movieID}

Travel creates memories that you'll carry with you for the rest of your life– and often, the most precious physical items you come home with are the photos you take on the trip. But taking photos of your travel party is often the last thing you want to do, and you end up with more photos of plants and cafes than of you and your loved ones.
Travelshoot is an international photo service that connects travelers with professional photographers in destinations around the world. We're excited about this service, because it makes having a professional photoshoot in a foreign country easy and accessible. You don't have to speak the language, nor rely on a company operating in the country: you just give Travelshoot your information and they take it from there. It represents a fantastic way to help remember all the colorful details from your trip.
The process starts when you find your location and book your shoot. A simple booking form helps the service pair you with a local professional who can take the best photos for you and your family, and they use a five-step process to qualify photographers in their network. You can feel confident that your photos will look great, and the photographers give you an insider's tour of the city during the shoot. You'll come away with some beautiful new memories that you might not have experienced without a local showing you around.
Once your information is collected, you'll be matched with a photographer and receive their information and sample photos so you can have a good sense of what you're getting. Travelshoot sends you a detailed itinerary for your shoot with everything you need to know ahead of time.
On the day of your shoot, your photographer will meet you at a designated meet-up point, ready to guide you around their city and take natural, beautiful photos of your travel group. There's no cheesy posing involved: just organic, fun-filled shots against beautiful local scenery.
Within 48 hours, you'll get a sneak peak of your shoot, and within a week you'll receive the whole album of your Travelshoot images in an online gallery for you to download.
Where can you book a shoot?
The short answer is that Travelshoot has a network of photographers across the globe. You can look up your specific destination, but they have the big tourist locations covered. Australia, Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa and the Middle East are all represented.
Travelshoot is a great option for big events that you want to commemorate, such as weddings, elopements, proposals, honeymoons and other important occasions in your life. They have wedding and engagement packages that cater to small-scale events, and you can book your shoot quickly for a flat fee at a fair price. Of course, you don't need a special occasion in mind to use the service! "Just-because" travel photos are a great option too.
At Loftus, our travel philosophy has always favored quality over quantity, and Travelshoot makes getting beautiful photos easy and fun, removing the hassle and giving you keepsake photos you'll love. It's a truly unique service, and we're thrilled to say that Travelshoot has given us a discount code to use on their site. Simply use the code "LOFTUS50" at checkout to get $50 off the standard price.

CMA's formal submission to the Federal External Panel on assisted dying
Dear Members of the Federal External Panel: On behalf of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA), I appreciate the opportunity to provide input toward the Federal External Panel's national consultation to support the federal government's legislative response following the Supreme Court of Canada's ruling in Carter v. Canada. As the national professional association representing Canada's physicians, the CMA has played an important role in leading the public dialogue on end-of-life care, including assisted dying. In 2014, the CMA led a national consultation on end-of-life care which included a series of public and member town hall consultations across the country. This national dialogue focused on three main issues: advance care planning, palliative care, and physician-assisted dying. As highlighted in the summary report (enclosed as Appendix 1), the Canadian public emphasized the need for strict protocols and safeguards if the law on physician-assisted dying were to change. This initial consultation provided valuable insights to inform the concurrent CMA's in-depth and comprehensive consultation with its membership as well as medical and health stakeholders as an intervener before the Supreme Court and following the Carter decision. This consultation included engagement of the CMA's Ethics Committee, policy debates as part of the CMA's Annual Meetings in 2014 and 2015, in-person member forums across the country, and an online dialogue. The consultation was critical to the development of the CMA's Principles-based Recommendations for a Canadian Approach to Assisted Dying (enclosed as Appendix 2). These recommendations, guided by a set of ten foundational principles, address patient eligibility for access to and assessment for assisted dying, procedural safeguards for eligibility criteria, the roles and responsibilities of the attending and consulting physicians, and the issue of conscientious objection. Taken together, these recommendations form the CMA's position on the forthcoming legislative and regulatory framework to govern assisted dying in Canada. In addition to our recommendations, we would like to highlight key points that are of particular relevance to physicians: NATIONAL, PAN-CANADIAN LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK The CMA strongly recommends the establishment of national and coordinated legislative and regulatory processes and systems in response to the Carter decision. The CMA is deeply concerned that in the absence of federal action to support the establishment of national guidelines for assisted dying, a patchwork of differing and potentially conflicting approaches could emerge across jurisdictions. Legislative action at the federal level is needed to provide further clarity for physicians and their patients and support the promulgation of a coordinated and consistent approach across all jurisdictions in Canada. The CMA has been working with the medical regulatory colleges at the national level to mitigate this risk through the development of the CMA's Principles-based Recommendations for a Canadian Approach to Assisted Dying which has encouraged similar efforts by the regulatory colleges. In addition to these initiatives, federal action is required. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION As the Federal External Panel is aware, the Carter decision emphasizes that any regulatory or legislative response must seek to reconcile the Charter rights of patients (wanting to access assisted dying) and physicians (who choose not to participate in assisted dying on grounds of conscientious objection). The notion of conscientious objection is not monolithic. While some conceptions of conscience encompass referral, others view referral as being connected to, or as akin to participating in, a morally objectionable act. It is the CMA's position that an effective reconciliation is one that respects, and takes account of, differences in conscience, while facilitating access on the principle of equity. To this end, the CMA's membership strongly endorses the recommendation on conscientious objection as set out in section 5.2 of the CMA's enclosed Principles-based Recommendations for a Canadian Approach to Assisted Dying. ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS The CMA recognizes, and supports addressing, the need to develop education materials for physicians. To this end, the CMA is actively developing education modules for physicians following an environmental scan of existing courses and discussions with other jurisdictions (e.g., the Royal Dutch Medical Association). The CMA has the support of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and the Canadian Medical Protective Association to lead this initiative. Finally, as previously stated, the CMA strongly encourages the federal government to make the report of the Federal External Panel publicly available once final. The CMA urges the members of the Federal External Panel to support this recommendation to the federal government. Thank you once again for the opportunity to provide input. The CMA looks forward to our meeting with the Federal External Panel on October 20, 2015. Sincerely, Cindy Forbes, MD, CCFP, FCFP President Jeff Blackmer MD, MHSc, FRCPC Vice-President, Medical Professionalism Enclosed: Appendix 1 - Summary Report: End-of-Life Care A National Dialogue (please see pdf for link to document) Appendix 2 - CMA's Principles-based Recommendations for a Canadian Approach to Assisted Dying Principles-based Recommendations for a Canadian Approach to Assisted Dying On Feb. 6, 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously struck down the law prohibiting assisted dying. The court suspended that decision for 12 months. This has provided an opportunity for the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) to build on its past work and pursue further consultation with provincial and territorial medical associations, medical and non-medical stakeholders, members, legislatures and patients for processes, whether legal, regulatory or guidelines, that respect patients' needs and reflects physicians' perspectives. The goal of this process is twofold: (a) discussion and recommendations on a suite of ethical-legal principles and (b) input on specific issues that are particularly physician-sensitive and are worded ambiguously or not addressed in the Court's decision. The touch points are reasonable accommodation for all perspectives and patient-centeredness. For purposes of clarity, CMA recommends national and coordinated legislative and regulatory processes and systems. There should be no undue delay in the development of these laws and regulations. The principles are not designed to serve as a tool for legislative compliance in a particular jurisdiction or provide a standard of care. Rather, the CMA wishes to provide physicians with guidance and a vision of what physicians might strive for to further their professional and legal obligations in a complex area. The CMA recommends adopting the following principles-based approach to assisted dying in Canada: Foundational principles The following foundational principles underpin CMA's recommended approach to assisted dying. Proposing foundational principles is a starting point for ethical reflection, and their application requires further reflection and interpretation when conflicts arise. 1. Respect for patient autonomy: Competent adults are free to make decisions about their bodily integrity. Specific criteria are warranted given the finality of assisted dying. 2. Equity: To the extent possible, all those who meet the criteria for assisted dying should have access to this intervention. Physicians will work with relevant parties to support increased resources and access to high quality palliative care, and assisted dying. There should be no undue delay to accessing assisted dying, either from a clinical, system or facility perspective. To that end, the CMA calls for the creation of a separate central information, counseling, and referral service. 3. Respect for physician values: Physicians can follow their conscience when deciding whether or not to provide assisted dying without discrimination. This must not result in undue delay for the patient to access these services. No one should be compelled to provide assistance in dying. 4. Consent and capacity: All the requirements for informed consent must clearly be met, including the requirement that the patient be capable of making that decision, with particular attention to the context of potential vulnerabilities and sensitivities in end of life circumstances. Consent is seen as an evolving process requiring physicians to continuously communicate with the patient. 5. Clarity: All Canadians must be clear on the requirements for qualification for assisted dying. There should be no "grey areas" in any legislation or regulations. 6. Dignity: All patients, their family members or significant others should be treated with dignity and respect at all times, including throughout the entire process of care at the end of life. 7. Protection of patients: Laws and regulations, through a carefully designed and monitored system of safeguards, should aim to minimize harm to all patients and should also address issues of vulnerability and potential coercion. 8. Accountability: An oversight body and reporting mechanism should be identified and established in order to ensure that all processes are followed. Physicians participating in assisted dying must ensure that they have appropriate technical competencies as well as the ability to assess decisional capacity, or the ability to consult with a colleague to assess capacity in more complex situations. 9. Solidarity: Patients should be supported and not abandoned by physicians and health care providers, sensitive to issues of culture and background, throughout the dying process regardless of the decisions they make with respect to assisted dying. 10. Mutual respect: There should be mutual respect between the patient making the request and the physician who must decide whether or not to perform assisted dying. A request for assisted dying is only possible in a meaningful physician-patient relationship where both participants recognize the gravity of such a request. Recommendations Based on these principles, the Supreme Court decision in Carter v. Canada (2015)1 and a review of other jurisdictions' experiences, CMA makes the following recommendations for potential statutory and regulatory frameworks with respect to assisted dying. We note that this document is not intended to address all potential issues with respect to assisted dying, and some of these will need to be captured in subsequent regulations. 1. Patient eligibility for access to assisted dying 1.1 The patient must be a competent adult who meets the criteria set out by the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Carter v. Canada (2015. 1.2 Informed decision * The attending physician must disclose to the patient information regarding their health status, diagnosis, prognosis, the certainty of death upon taking the lethal medication, and alternatives, including comfort care, palliative and hospice care, and pain and symptom control. 1.3 Capacity * The attending physician must be satisfied that: - the patient is mentally capable of making an informed decision at the time of the request(s) - the patient is capable of giving consent to assisted dying, paying particular attention to the potential vulnerability of the patient in these circumstances - communications include exploring the priorities, values and fears of the patient, providing information related to the patient's diagnosis and prognosis, treatment options including palliative care and other possible interventions and answering the patient's questions * If either or both the attending physician or the consulting physician determines that the patient is incapable, the patient must be referred for further capacity assessment. * Only patients on their own behalf can make the request while competent. 1.4 Voluntariness * The attending physician must be satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that all of the following conditions are fulfilled: - The patient's decision to undergo assisted dying has been made freely, without coercion or undue influence from family members, health care providers or others. - The patient has a clear and settled intention to end his/her own life after due consideration. - The patient has requested assisted dying him/herself, thoughtfully and repeatedly, in a free and informed manner. 2. Patient eligibility for assessment for decision-making in assisted dying Stage 1: Requesting assisted dying 1. The patient submits at least two oral requests for assisted dying to the attending physician over a period of time that is proportionate to the patient's expected prognosis (i.e., terminal vs non-terminal illness). CMA supports the view that a standard waiting period is not appropriate for all requests. 2. CMA recommends generally waiting a minimum of 14 days between the first and the second oral requests for assisted dying. 3. The patient then submits a written request for assisted dying to the attending physician. The written request must be completed via a special declaration form that is developed by the government/department of health/regional health authority/health care facility. 4. Ongoing analysis of the patient's condition and ongoing assessment of requests should be conducted for longer waiting periods. Stage 2: Before undertaking assisted dying 5. The attending physician must wait no longer than 48 hours, or as soon as is practicable, after the written request is received. 6. The attending physician must then assess the patient for capacity and voluntariness or refer the patient for a specialized capacity assessment in more complex situations. 7. The attending physician must inform the patient of his/her right to rescind the request at any time. 8. A second, independent, consulting physician must then also assess the patient for capacity and voluntariness. 9. Both physicians must agree that the patient meets eligibility criteria for assisted dying to proceed. 10. The attending physician must fulfill the documentation and reporting requirements. Stage 3: After undertaking assisted dying 11. The attending physician, or a physician delegated by the attending physician, must take care of the patient until the patient's death. 3. Role of the physician 3.1 The attending physician must be trained to provide assisted dying. 3.2 Patient assessment * The attending physician must determine if the patient qualifies for assisted dying under the parameters stated above in Section 1. * The attending physician must ensure that all reasonable treatment options have been considered to treat physical and psychological suffering according to the patient's need, which may include, independently or in combination, palliative care, psychiatric assessment, pain specialists, gerontologists, spiritual care, and/or addiction counseling. 3.3 Consultation requirements * The attending physician must consult a second physician, independent of both the patient and the attending physician, before the patient is considered eligible to undergo assisted dying. * The consulting physician must - Be qualified by specialty or experience to render a diagnosis and prognosis of the patient's illness and to assess their capacity as noted in Stage 2 above. 3.4 Opportunity to rescind request * The attending physician must offer the patient an opportunity to rescind the request at any time; the offer and the patient's response must be documented. 3.5 Documentation requirements * The attending physician must document the following in the patient's medical record: - All oral and written requests by a patient for assisted dying - The attending physician's diagnosis and prognosis, and their determination that the patient is capable, acting voluntarily and has made an informed decision - The consulting physician's diagnosis and prognosis, and verification that the patient is capable, acting voluntarily and has made an informed decision - A report of the outcome and determinations made during counseling - The attending physician's offer to the patient to rescind the request for assisted dying - A note by the attending physician indicating that all requirements have been met and indicating the steps taken to carry out the request 3.6 Oversight body and reporting requirements * There should be a formal oversight body and reporting mechanism that collects data from the attending physician. * Following the provision of assisted dying, the attending physician must submit all of the following items to the oversight body: - Attending physician report - Consulting physician report - Medical record documentation - Patient's written request for assisted dying * The oversight body would review the documentation for compliance * Provincial and territorial jurisdictions should ensure that legislation and/or regulations are in place to support investigations related to assisted dying by existing provincial and territorial systems * Pan-Canadian guidelines should be developed in order to provide clarity on how to classify the cause on the death certificate 4. Responsibilities of the consulting physician * The consulting physician must verify the patient's qualifications including capacity and voluntariness. * The consulting physician must document the patient's diagnosis, prognosis, capacity, volition and the provision of information sufficient for an informed decision. The consulting physician must review the patient's medical records, and should document this review. 5. Moral opposition to assisted dying 5.1 Moral opposition by a health care facility or health authority * Hospitals and health authorities that oppose assisted dying may not prohibit physicians from providing these services in other locations. There should be no discrimination against physicians who decide to provide assisted dying. 5.2 Conscientious objection by a physician * Physicians are not obligated to fulfill requests for assisted dying. There should be no discrimination against a physician who chooses not to participate in assisted dying. In order to reconcile physicians' conscientious objection with a patient's request for access to assisted dying, physicians are expected to provide the patient with complete information on all options available to them, including assisted dying, and advise the patient on how they can access any separate central information, counseling, and referral service. 1 Carter v. Canada (Attorney General), [2015] 1 SCR 331, 2015 SCC 5 (CanLII)
Federal Monitoring and Reporting Regime for MAID
Substantive recommendations 1. Protection and disclosure of the information This is a foundational component of any regulatory framework for both practitioners and patients/requestors. The CMA recommends placing greater emphasis on the protection of privacy by a. conducting a privacy impact assessment, with input from the Federal Privacy Commissioner (if that hasn't already been done). b. requiring, as part of the regulations, privacy/data sharing agreements in instances when o data is shared to meet the objectives outlined (p. 2); and o information collected under the framework will be made available to designated provincial and territorial government bodies for their use (p. 3). This is particularly important given that this involves the collection of identifiable (private) information about practitioners and patients/requestors. c. using aggregate data where applicable. d. providing greater detail on how the "Rigorous protection of all personal information (patient and practitioner) will be a paramount feature of the monitoring regime" - such detail is essential even in the preliminary stages of developing a monitoring and reporting system. 2. Further specification of what constitutes a request As is currently stated, what constitutes a request is not sufficiently defined, i.e., what constitutes a "written request"? Is any written request a request? What about for those who can't (or who can no longer) write? Further specifying what constitutes a request is especially important since the practitioner has to document the circumstances of the request in every instance, including where follow-up is required and a report has to be filed as part of a follow-up. 3. Timeframe A timeframe of 10 days to file a report is alarmingly short. It is commonly known that physicians already feel burdened by paperwork and it is highly likely that they would find it nearly impossible to meet this requirement. This could conceivably deter physicians from choosing to provide assistance in dying or participate in an assessment under threat of criminal sanction, potentially significantly impacting patient access. Procedural recommendations 4. Inegibility Information required for this category includes "results of the eligibility assessment". It should be required to explicitly include reasons why the patient/requestor was deemed ineligible. 5. MAiD self-administered a. The application of safeguards should be a specific category requiring reporting (and not simply used an example). b. To assess (in)consistency of emerging practices and the variability of provincial legislative or regulatory requirements, it would be worthwhile to require stating whether the practitioner was present during the self-administration. 6. Coroners and medical examiners When the monitoring regime (periodically) requests information from Chief Coroners or Medical Examiners: To assess (in)consistency of emerging practices and the variability of provincial legislative or regulatory requirements, it would be worthwhile to gather data on who completes the death certificate and the information included on the death certificate.
Federal monitoring of medical assistance in dying regulations
The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is pleased to provide input on the proposed regulations of the federal monitoring of Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada. The CMA fully supports the proposed intent of the regulations, in particular, public accountability and transparency and safeguards for vulnerable patient populations. Tracking trends and carrying out research is very important to monitor the implementation and implications of medical assistance in dying. The CMA further supports the intent to provide electronic reporting and guidance documents, and to leverage any synergies between the federal and provincial/territorial governments, especially to prevent duplication and to promote consistency in reporting across the country. The CMA would like to raise the following critical areas for your consideration: 1. Definitions/parameters of terms There continues to be a need to more clearly define several terms to ensure consistency of reporting. For example: a. Who constitutes a "practitioner"? One can argue that there is a broad scope of who is "a medical practitioner or nurse practitioner". Is it the practitioner who provides MAiD? Or he practitioner who first reads a patient's request for MAiD? Or is the first practitioner? Or second practitioner who assesses the patient? b. What constitutes a therapeutic relationship (as one of the eight proposed items to be collected about the practitioner)? A therapeutic relationship is not required to access MAiD. This criterion should be removed and if not, given the differences in opinion in the health professions as to what constitutes a therapeutic relationship includes, it should be clearly defined. c. What constitutes a request, a written request, the receipt of a request? If reporting obligations are "triggered" by a patient's "written request", at what point is that request actually triggered? The very first practitioner who receives the patient's written request? Or the practitioner who conducts the eligibility assessment upon receipt of the written request? Or the practitioner who provides the prescription or carries out the procedure? d. On a related point, without clear definitions, any future comparative analysis of research or trends will be difficult as there will be no common starting point. e. There continues to be confusion on how to count or when to start counting the required 10 clear days. There are many reasons why this requires more clarity. 2. Collection and protection of data We applaud Health Canada for further reducing and revising data requirements. We submit, however, that further reductions are required for several reasons, including adherence to privacy best practices that require the collection of the least amount of data necessary to achieve reasonable purposes. In particular: a. In view of the quantity and highly personal and sensitive data that will be collected about patients and practitioners, data sharing agreements should be required; for example, agreements between the federal government and provincial/territorial governments or between researchers and others requesting use of the data to facilitate the appropriate sharing of data. b. Collection of personal information should be limited to what is relevant to the purpose of monitoring medical assistance in dying. Personal information, such as the patient's full postal code, marital status, or principal occupation is beyond the scope of the eligibility criteria outlined in the legislation and thus beyond the scope of the purpose of monitoring the impact of the legislation. c. Any "characteristics" of the patient should refer only to the eligibility criteria. If other data will be collected beyond that scope, the justification for doing so, and the characteristics themselves, should be clearly outlined. d. The scope of the information collected about the practitioner could be narrowed. As is, it is very broad – a list of eight items – while the Quebec regulations, as a comparator, have only three-four items that must be collected in relation to the physician who administers MAiD. 3. Additional requirements Schedule 4 [section 2(i)] of the proposed regulations requires that the practitioner opine as to whether the patient met, or did not meet, all of the eligibility criteria outlined in the legislation – with two significantly expanded requirements; the requirements that the practitioner: 1) provide an estimate as to the amount of time MAiD shortened the patient's life; and 2) indicate the anticipated likely cause of natural death of the patient. These additional requirements are beyond the letter and spirit of the legislation and, in many ways, are in direct contradiction to the legislation. The Legislature was not unaware when it drafted the Act that it did not follow other jurisdictions' criteria requiring either a terminal illness or a prognosis of time within which the practitioner believed the patient would die, e.g., "within the next 6 months". It is specifically the lack of a timeframe that makes the legislation unique and provides flexibility for both patients and practitioners. By adding these two additional criteria for reporting, in effect, they become additional criteria for eligibility which is, as stated above, beyond the scope, and in contradiction to, the legislation. 4. Lack of clarity of reasons for ineligibility There is a potential for misunderstanding as to whether reasons are required when the patient does not meet the criteria under Schedule 4, section 2(a) – (h). The introduction to section 2 speaks to the practitioner giving an indication as to (a) whether the patient met or (b) did not meet the criteria. However, in the itemized criteria [2(a)-(h)] it only speaks to the practitioner having to provide reasons when the patient meets the criteria (and not when the patient has not met the criteria). It would be helpful to specify that reasons should be required when the patient does and does not meet the criteria. This is also crucial for the publication of the Minister of Health's annual report requiring that the reasons, and which eligibility criteria were not met, be addressed. Conclusion The CMA recognizes the importance of regulations to capture the provision, collection, use, and disposal of information for the purpose of monitoring MAiD. The CMA cautions against introducing reporting requirements that are beyond the scope of the legislation. As noted in the legislation, practitioners who fail to provide information under the regulations may be found guilty under the Criminal Code and subject to possible imprisonment. It is thus imperative that the federal government drafts clear regulations that respect the legislation, privacy, research ethics, and a de minimus approach. .
Medical assistance in dying
EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED DEATH (UPDATE 2014)
The legalization of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) raises a host of complex ethical and practical challenges that have implications for both policy and practice. The CMA supports maintaining the balance between three equally legitimate considerations: respecting decisional autonomy for those eligible Canadians who are seeking access, protecting vulnerable persons through careful attention to safeguards, and creating an environment in which practitioners are able to adhere to their moral commitments. Recognizing the educational, legislative, regulatory and practice changes that will result, the CMA recommends that legislative and regulatory processes be coordinated at the federal and provincial/territorial levels to consistently guide health systems, practitioners and patients. To that end, the CMA calls for rigorous information gathering at all levels and for experience with and research on the impacts of this new practice to be reported as it unfolds. The CMA encourages medical schools to incorporate reflective training opportunities at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels that address all aspects of medical practice that might be affected by this new intervention. Further, CMA recognizes the opportunity that exists for all health systems and practitioners to facilitate effective patient access to information about all end-of-life care options. The CMA acknowledges the importance of understanding that other acts within the realm of end-of-life care are distinct from the practice of medical assistance in dying. Further, the provision of specific assessments for eligibility to access medical assistance in dying is a distinct service unrelated to consultations for general palliative end-of-life care. It is important that physicians be aware of this distinction and the relationship between legal, medical and ethical norms with respect to medical assistance in dying. The judicial and legislative branches of government have made changes to Canadian law in this area. Society has placed assistance in dying within the realm of regulated medical practitioners. Physicians' ethical norms and duties, arising from long-standing traditions that entail moral commitments to preserve and protect life, have not changed. The CMA supports the right of all physicians to follow their conscience when deciding whether to provide or otherwise participate in assistance in dying as per the legislation governing medical assistance in dying. The CMA equally supports conscientious participation in and conscientious objection to assistance in dying by physicians. SCOPE OF POLICY This policy aims to provide guidance on key considerations in a way that is consistent with a physician's ethical, professional and legal obligations. Physicians should be aware of the federal and provincial laws in the jurisdiction in which they practise, the standards and expectations outlined by their respective regulatory authority, advice from the Canadian Medical Protective Association as well as the policies and procedures of the setting(s) in which they practise (e.g., regional health authority or hospital). RELEVANT FOUNDATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS The following considerations underpin the CMA's position on what ought to constitute the basis of any evolving legislation, regulation or guideline on the implementation of medical assistance in dying. These considerations are not ranked according to priority or importance. As with any foundational considerations, they provide a starting point for ethical reflection, and their application requires further thought and interpretation when conflicts arise. 1. Respect for autonomy: The CMA upholds the importance of respect for decisional autonomy by competent patients - such persons are free to make informed choices and autonomous decisions about their bodily integrity, their personal aims and their care that are consistent with their personal values and beliefs. CMA also asserts that persons have inherent dignity regardless of their circumstances. Services ought to be delivered, and processes and treatments ought to be applied, in ways that strive to preserve and enhance dignity. End-of-life care strives to maintain the integrity of personhood even as bodily functions deteriorate in advance of death. 2. Respect for vulnerability: In consideration of the importance of a patient's decision regarding medical assistance in dying, and the permanence of death if medical assistance in dying is chosen by a patient, the CMA believes that careful and non-judgmental exploration with patients of the reasons they are seeking assistance in dying is always warranted. Care in this regard assists physicians to fulfill the duty to ensure that conditions of vulnerability have been identified and addressed satisfactorily. Physicians should maintain diligent attention to identifying undue coercive influences on the patient. Legislation and regulations, through a carefully designed and monitored system of safeguards, should aim to minimize harm to all patients and should also address issues of vulnerability and potential coercion. 3. Respect for freedom of conscience: The CMA believes that physicians must be able to follow their conscience without discrimination when deciding whether or not to provide or participate in assistance in dying. The CMA supports physicians who, for reasons of moral commitments to patients and for any other reasons of conscience, will not participate in decisional guidance about, eligibility assessments for, or provision of medical assistance in dying. To enable physicians to adhere to such moral commitments without causing undue delay for patients pursuing this intervention, health systems will need to implement an easily accessible mechanism to which patients can have direct access. Further, the CMA believes that physicians' general employment or contract opportunities should not be influenced by their decisions to participate in, or not participate in, any or all aspects of medical assistance in dying with patients. The right of patients to seek medical assistance in dying does not compel individual physicians to provide it. Learners should be equally free to follow their conscience without risk to their evaluations and training advancement. 4. Accountability: Physicians providing or otherwise participating in assistance in dying must ensure they have the requisite training and the appropriate competencies, and the ability to assess a patient's decisional capacity or the ability to consult with a colleague to assess capacity in more complex situations. Physicians are expected to use appropriate medical judgment to make a determination of eligibility by (1) assessing the capacity of an adult to consent to the termination of life and (2) determining whether the patient has explored their options (and the putative impacts of any of the options). If the patient wishes to continue seeking medical assistance in dying, physicians are expected to use appropriate medical judgment to determine whether s/he meets the eligibility criteria as per the legislation governing medical assistance in dying. This ought to be a shared decision, and it should be made as part of a deliberative process in the context of the patient-physician relationship. The CMA encourages physicians to participate in accountability processes within their jurisdictions that ensure equitable access to all end-of-life options, including palliative and end-of-life care provided by skilled practitioners, in service of their patients' needs and values. To that end, the CMA believes that a federal oversight body and reporting regime should be established to ensure that all processes are followed. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: PHYSICIAN DUTIES 5. Duty of non-abandonment: Physicians have an obligation to respond to a request for assistance in dying, regardless of how their moral commitment is expressed. Patients should never be abandoned and must always be supported by their physician and other members of their care team. The patient's physician ought to explore the reasons motivating the request and be sensitive to issues of culture and background throughout the dying process, regardless of the decisions the patient makes with respect to assistance in dying. There should be no undue delay in providing access to assistance in dying and all other end-of-life options, either from a clinical, system or facility perspective. For those who choose to provide assistance in dying, the duty of non-abandonment means that physicians have a duty to be available to patients during the act of ending their life. Physicians should be present or immediately available to manage any unexpected complications during the medical procedure, whether the chemical administration is done by the patient or by a regulated practitioner. 6. Duty to support interdisciplinary teams: The CMA advocates that physicians work within, and support other members of, interdisciplinary teams, pay close attention to the impacts of participation and non-participation in medical assistance in dying on their non-physician colleagues, and demonstrate solidarity with their team members as they navigate new legal and ethical territory together. 7. Duty to learners: The CMA recognizes the importance of unique moral considerations within learning environments. Learners are encouraged to reflect on their moral understanding of and views about assistance in dying and to seek a wide range of views and experiences from their patients and from their teachers and colleagues. ADDRESSING ADHERENCE TO MORAL COMMITMENTS CMA's position on conscientious participation and conscientious objection aims to harmonize two legitimate considerations: (1) effective patient access to a legally permissible medical service and (2) protection of physicians' freedom of conscience (or moral integrity) in a way that respects differences of conscience. a. The CMA believes that physicians are not obligated to fulfill a patient's request for assistance in dying but that all physicians are obligated to respond to a patient's request. This means that physicians who choose not to provide or otherwise participate in assistance in dying are: i. not required to provide it, or to otherwise participate in it, or to refer the patient to a physician or a medical administrator who will provide assistance in dying to the patient; but ii. are still required to fulfill their duty of non-abandonment by responding to a patient's request for assistance in dying. There should be no discrimination against a physician who chooses not to provide or otherwise participate in assistance in dying. b. The CMA believes that physicians are obligated to respond to a patient's request for assistance in dying in a timely fashion. This means that physicians are obligated to, regardless of their beliefs: i. provide the patient with complete information on all options available, including assistance in dying; ii. advise the patient on how to access any separate central information, counselling and referral service; and iii. transfer care of the patient to another physician or another institution, if the patient requests it, for the assessment and treatment of the patient's medical condition and exploration of relevant options. If relevant, such options may include palliative care, mental health care and, if the patient meets the eligibility criteria, provision of assistance in dying. The duty of non-abandonment still applies in all other aspects of the patient's care. c. Physicians are expected to make available relevant medical records (i.e., diagnosis, pathology, treatment and consults) to the physician accepting care of the patient when authorized by the patient to do so. d. Physicians are expected to act in good faith. They are expected to never abandon or discriminate against a patient requesting assistance in dying and to not impede or block access to a request for assistance in dying. Physicians should inform their patients of the fact and implications of their conscientious objection. No physician may require a patient to make a commitment not to seek assistance in dying as a condition of acceptance or retention of the patient. GLOSSARY WHAT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN DYING (MAID) ENCOMPASSES 1. Medical assistance in dying encompasses the assessment of a patient for eligibility for assistance in dying, deliberation with the patient, accompaniment of the patient through the process of deciding and, if so chosen by the patient, the provision of assistance in dying, which refers to: a. The administering by a medical practitioner or nurse of a substance to a person, at their request, that causes their death; or b. The prescribing or providing by a medical practitioner or nurse practitioner of a substance to a person, at their request, so that they may self-administer the substance and in doing so cause their death. 2. The Supreme Court of Canada in Carter used the terms physician-assisted dying and physician-assisted death. These terms refer to both of the following: a. Voluntary euthanasia, or physician-administered assistance in dying: The physician takes the final act that will end the individual's life via, usually, the intravenous administration of a lethal substance, at the request and with the consent of a patient b. Assisted suicide, or physician-prescribed, self-administered assistance in dying: An individual performs the final act to end their life by, usually, ingesting a lethal substance prescribed or provided by the physician, at the request and with the consent of the patient. 3. Other commonly used terms are hastened death, physician-administered hastened death and physician-prescribed, patient-administered hastened death. a. These terms are proposed to make a clear distinction between palliative care and other practices that hasten or bring about death, such as through the legitimate removal of life-sustaining interventions or via the provision or administration of chemicals. 4. Medical aid in dying has a distinct technical and legal meaning within Quebec, described in Bill 52, and is limited to physicians administering the lethal substance at the request of the individual. WHAT IT DOES NOT ENCOMPASS 1. Palliative care is an integrated approach that aims to relieve suffering and improve the quality of life of those facing life-limiting acute or chronic conditions by means of early identification, assessment and treatment of pain and other symptoms. 2. Continuous palliative sedation therapy1 refers to complete sedation, with the intent of rendering the patient unable to experience the environment, sensation or thoughts, until the patient dies naturally from the underlying illness. 3. Withdrawing or withholding treatment or treatment cessation refers to withdrawing or withholding life-prolonging treatment where it is no longer indicated or desired. 4. Voluntary refusal of hydration and nutrition is the conscious and active choice to refuse and to discontinue food and fluid, orally or parenterally, with the intention of hastening death. Approved by the CMA Board of Directors May 2017 1 Consensus statement on continuous palliative sedation therapy: www.chpca.net/media/343120/final_cpst_framework.pdf. ---------------

Q: Integral equation exercise Let $\phi \in L^2\left(-\infty,\infty\right)$ and $|x|\geq a$. I have that the following integral equation for $\left(\partial\phi/\partial y\right)\left(z,0,t\right)$:
$$\frac{\partial\phi}{\partial y}\bigg\lvert_{y=0}=\frac{1}{\pi}P.V\int_{-a}^a\frac{\left(\partial\phi/\partial y\right)\left(z,0,t\right)}{x-z}dz.$$
I know that the solution is given by:
$$\frac{\partial\phi}{\partial y}\left(x,0,t\right)=\frac{C}{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}+\frac{1}{\pi}P.V\int_{-a}^a\sqrt{\frac{a^2-z^2}{a^2-x^2}}\frac{\left(\partial\phi/\partial x\right)\left(z,0,t\right)}{x-z}dz,$$
where C is an arbitrary constant. Any hint to get that result?

Q: Injecting self-executing function as value in JS object I am writing a simple library that will read values from an object given a string property.
Is it possible to read the property but have a function execute without actually invoking the function?
something like:
var obj = {

fn : (function malicious(){    deleteLotsOfFiles();
})()

}

if I do
var foo = obj.fn;

is there a way just by reading the property to execute a (malicious) function?

A: The malicious function would have already executed anyway before you even referenced it. Once the function is parsed by the engine, it is executed straight away (self-invoking).

A: var obj = {
    get fn() { deleteLotsOfFiles(); }
};

// later
var o = obj; // deleteLotsOfFiles has not been executed
console.log(o.fn); // you just deleted lots of files

A: An alternative
var o = Object.defineProperty(o, 'baz', {
    get: function(){
        console.log("Delete Everything!");
    }
});

Then access o.baz and they are deleted

Sometimes it is desirable to allow access to a property that returns a
  dynamically computed value, or you may want to reflect the status of
  an internal variable without requiring the use of explicit method
  calls.

Seems pretty much like what you want to do.
