After growth, Indian gaming now "pretty flat"
By Steve Tetreault
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- After a long period of healthy growth that brought prosperity to many reservations. Indian tribal gaming revenues have leveled off in recent years and face an uncertain future, Congress was told on Wednesday.
Legalized gambling on Indian land grew dramatically after Congress enacted a law in 1988 that defined a relationship between states and tribes when it came to gaming and cleared a path for tribal-owned casinos that created thousands of jobs and plowed billions of dollars into tribal education, social programs and economic improvements.
However, Indian gaming revenues have plateaued at around $26 billion to $28 billion annually, Kevin Washburn, Interior Department assistant secretary for Indian Affairs, told a U.S. Senate panel.
"In fact, gaming revenues have been pretty flat since 2007," Washburn said. "The days of tremendous growth are probably behind us for Indian gaming." He said that means tribes "are going to have to learn to live with existing amounts of revenue" since they far outstrip the resources the government is able to offer them.
At the same time, Washburn said, "commercial gaming is now much larger than Indian gaming and the commercial gaming industry continue to grow. Put another way, Indian gaming's overall share of the gaming market is decreasing."
Revenues from commercial casinos in 2013 were $37.8 billion, according to the American Gaming Association. That's a 23 percent increase since 2009.
"Commercial gaming goes to enrich shareholders," Washburn said. "Indian gaming goes to help poor people, usually. I would much rather see Indian gaming existing than commercial gaming expanding."
Washburn, an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Tribe of Oklahoma and the director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, gave his outlook to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs assessing the state of Indian gaming and what might lay ahead.
Washburn said the future of Indian gaming "is uncertain. Nothing last forever. No great economic resource lasts forever."
While tribal casinos dominate in some regional markets, in others they face competition from commercial casinos, and from other tribes. Washburn said the BIA is put in an awkward position when a new casino is proposed as some tribes "are very happy not to have competition. We proceed with great caution and great care when someone asks us to take land into trust for a new gaming operation."
As of 2013, 245 tribal governments operated 445 gaming ventures in 28 states in what Ernie Stevens, chairman of NIGA - National Indian Gaming Association, called "the most successful tool for economic development for many Indian tribes in over two centuries." He said Indian gaming last year was responsible for more than 665,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Stevens told senators he was not certain he agreed with Washburn's downbeat assessment of the future.
"But we have to be prepared for those kinds of challenges," he said. "Welcome to our world. Indian country has always had to deal with those challenges."
About half the tribes have gaming ventures. But not all have profited, said A.T. Stafne, chairman of the Assinibone and Sioux tribes that live on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in remote northeastern Montana,
"I will be blunt," Stafne said. "We have seen little economic benefit from Indian gaming over the last 25 years."
Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., a former state attorney general, suggested tribal gaming may be over-regulated.
Casinos in Las Vegas are regulated by the state, she said, while for Indian casinos, "we have tribal regulations, we have state regulations and we have federal regulations, all to respond to concerns that Indian gaming may be fraudulent in some places.
"I can tell you from my experience that has not been true," Heitkamp said. "We need to rethink the regulatory structure. I think at some point we anticipated problem that haven't shown up."

Q: how to bundle/build project with added functions? I need a script for some project I'm working on, but I also need to add a function to it. I know where all the files are, the problem is I don't know how to bundle/build the script.
this is the project I want to add a function in.
in essence, I want to add a function in both javascript files in the src folder, and then recompile the files so that my functions will be added to the dist/tableToExcel.js file so that I can embed that script in the overall project and have something work. can you help me or even point me to a good source?

A: After you "download" or fork, run from command line npm install to install all dependencies. Afterwards, to build, run npm run build. Of course you would need Node.JS and npm installed.
Using VS Code, you don't even need to leave the editor and it has shortcuts.
Usually instructions for installation appear in the README.md file.

SBM Offshore reserves $240 million for potential 'sales practices' settlement
Netherlands-based SBM Offshore included a $240 million provision in its financial statement for the first half of the year in anticipation of a potential settlement for improper sales practices.
SBM provides floating production systems for the oil and gas industry and related services.
In 2012, an SBM internal review flagged improper sales practices involving some of company's sales agents.
The company brought in outside counsel and forensic accountants to investigate and disclosed its investigation to Dutch authorities and the U.S. Department of Justice, Petro Global News reported Thursday.
SBM found that agents in Angola and Equatorial Guinea had made payments to third parties who then disbursed the money to government officials.
The company published a statement about investigations on its website this week.
The investigation also found sales agents gave third parties other items of value although SBM didn't specify what these items were.
The company said the payments began in early 2012.
SBM's investigation determined that the company paid $18.8 million in commissions to Equatorial Guinea and $22.7 million in commissions to Angola between 2007 and 2011.
SBM is discussing potential settlement options, the company said.
While SBM doesn't know what the settlement's final price tag will be the provision reflects the information currently available to it.
SMB said it can't provide further details about the resolution of the compliance issues and can't assure that a settlement will even be reached.
The company said it will keep the market up to date on new developments.

Singer/Songwriter Ali B Releases New Video "Strangers In Love"
by Mike Cutino November 17, 2017
written by Mike Cutino November 17, 2017
November 2017 (Long Island, NY) – With her latest single "Strangers In Love" garnering comparisons to some of the hottest EDM and vocal collaboration tracks today, Singer/Songwriter Alison Berke a.k.a. "Ali B"'s latest video for the single was recently released.
The video, which sees the pop singer strolling along the beautiful beaches, boardwalk, and through the town of Long Beach, NY, brings a powerful visual element to the song's lyrics as she continuously passes a mysterious stranger in hopes that their connection is more than just deja vu. From the subtle instrumental tones and vocal layering that truly bring out her undoubtedly stellar range as well as songwriting ability, "Strangers In Love" is a passionate ballad of longing and devotion.
Alison Berke grew up in the bustling concrete jungle of New York City, known for its thriving music community and inspiring so many young talents of today. Later moving to Long Island, she used that inspiration – turning it towards her love for music and already thriving vocal ability.
Inspired by some of today's biggest pop music sensations from Selena Gomez to Ariana Grande, she began performing cover songs and later writing her own original music with the help of Klang from MTV's "Making The Band 4" and Artist/Engineer LaPorte.
Noting some of her favorite experiences on her musical journey thus far, Berke says "Every new experience is my favorite, and all of the steps in this journey mean I'm one step closer to reaching my goals".
Having already gained so much success on her road to continued music development as an artist, songwriter, and performer, Ali advises other young talents like herself to strive for greatness, saying they should never give up, and adding "…nothing is impossible, if you find something you love, go out there and give it all you got!".

For the business owner thinking about a fluidity celebration regarding business, the process of offering the business can seem quite daunting. Coming from hiring an investment bank to negotiating a sale, the complete technique can easily indeed become overwhelming. A few break the task down to it is elements to build this less overwhelming. Every service includes made the decision they have occasion to promote, the first of all question to reply to is how you can sell off it. For small businesses – some of those that just have one area or just one few mil dollars in revenue – the owner might possibly sell this company upon his or her own personal. Alternatively, smaller businesses can end up being sold through organization agents. For the purpose of much larger companies, nevertheless , the solutions of a great investment bank are generally needed to be sure that a larger selection of potential purchasers are believed to be and a competitive sale process is undoubtedly manage.
Once an investment credit union is selected, the due diligence starts out. The bank can build a meeting at company headquarters with vital members within the company's managing (CEO, CFO, etc. ). At this point, it is actually particularly important that the confidential nature of the M&A techniques is stressed to all employees who know about the potential sales. It is basic for the company to set up proper benefits for senior citizen employees involved in the transaction therefore the process operates smoothly. It can be highly very likely that many of them employees may be left without a job subsequent the sale for a business, minus the proper incentives, they might be uncooperative during the process. During due persistance, financial commitment brokers will most likely go through a due persistence checklist to cover all company-related issues that would always be interesting to a potential buyer. Due diligence usually provides a tour of the company, a discussion of virtually any legal concerns which includes potential court and inquiries regarding how the corporation operates. The corporation is usually asked to provide regular fiscal statement every month along the way, so the most recent economic data may be made available to potential customers.
During due diligence, the bank will likely consult with the company to develop a buyers list. The clients list is known as a list of companies that may own interest found in purchasing the company. A number of potential buyers may be ruled out out of this list to get competitive reasons. During the M&A process, potential buyers will find out a large number of intimate information regarding a company, of course, if a transaction is not really in the end fulfilled, the knowledge of this information may weaken you're able to send advantage above its competition. As soon as the list of buyers is comprehensive, that is time to reach out to potential traders.
A notice of objective (LOI) may be a nonbinding notice by homebuyers that talk about just how much they are simply willing to pay designed for the provider, how a purchase will be borrowed and a description with their experience with making acquisitions. Must be consumer presents a high selling price for your firm, will not always mean these are the best shopper to head out frontward with. Any consumer may not be in a position to close the transaction if that they can't secure funding. A buyer's acquisition background may become just as important while the price this is offering. Once every LOIs are collected, a compact group of potential shareholders will be chosen to relocate on at the same time. By simply running a competitive method, an expense credit union can easily apply pressure in purchasers to provide their maximum value and maximize benefit designed for the corporation.
The remaining purchasers – certainly two or perhaps three dependant upon the case — are encouraged to visit the company's data place. A data space applied to be a location where very full information about the corporation is available for the purpose of potential buyers to see and examine. Now, data rooms are often virtual, and documents happen to be scanned and placed about a protected website just for potential buyers to view. These web sites provide more insights in the M&A method because the provider and the expenditure bank is able to see which data have been looked at by simply which purchasers and how typically they will have been viewed. This kind of information could be a good signal of how helpful certain potential buyers are appearing inside their analysis for the service. Customers are in that case invited to submit their last bids and tend to be usually constrained to up their give in purchase to stay competitive along the way.
At this point, the customer is usually determined and the the offer happen to be shamed away. The jogger back up can often be informed the fact that the firm remains to be taking into consideration offers you till a workable arrangement is arrived with the being successful bidder. The reason for this kind of is that there is often a possibility that the profiting bid might not be able to consent to terms or perhaps close the purchase, whereby the process will move forwards considering the athlete up. Again, the successful prospective buyer may not end up being the purchaser with the highest offer. The winning prospective buyer is usually the company with a mixture of a high give and a higher likelihood of consummating a purchase. Once the main financial conditions of a merger are decided to, the last final method can be made over to the legal representatives of the two respective businesses. They will hammer out a purchase agreement, which can be consequently signed simply by the firms completing the sale.

L'affittacamere è un film del 1976 diretto da Mariano Laurenti.

Trama
Angela e Giorgia Mainardi sono sorelle: la prima è grassa e con problemi di sonnambulismo, mentre la seconda è magra e bellissima. Un giorno, le sorelle ricevono in eredità dalla loro zia, una contessa piena di debiti, un casale nella campagna bolognese e decidono di trasformarlo in pensione. Col passare del tempo, molti uomini vengono invitati alla pensione da Giorgia, credendo che, andando a dormire lì e pagando 50.000 lire a notte, verranno "ripagati" molto bene dalla stessa ragazza. Dopo qualche tempo, sulla pensione cominciano a girare cattive voci. Preoccupato, il fidanzato di Angela, Lillino, decide d'andare a passarvi una notte per controllare.

Le voci giungono anche al giudice Damiani, strenuo difensore della pubblica moralità, che decide d'andare a visitare quella pensione, proprio la stessa sera in cui sua moglie e il suo amante, Anselmo Bresci, si sono dati appuntamento nello stesso luogo. Quella sera anche il prof. Settebeni arriva alla pensione, ma sua moglie Adele viene informata che il marito sta andando in quella pensione malfamata e così decide d'andare a scovarlo. Il giudice, dopo avere perlustrato tutto l'albergo, trova tutte le persone nascoste in una sola stanza, compresa sua moglie con l'amante.

La moglie del prof. Settebeni non riesce invece a trovare il marito, e tutti riescono a vestirsi in tempo e a simulare la vendita della pensione che il prof. Settebeni dovrà trasformare in clinica. La vendita non è più una simulazione, dato che Settebeni compra davvero l'immobile e dà a Giorgia 50 milioni di lire. Dopo questo incidente, Angela e Lillino si sposano e si trasferiscono in un grosso casale in Puglia, insieme a Giorgia. Da qui rinasce l'idea di trasformare anche questo casale in una pensione, con Giorgia che userà ancora lo stesso espediente per attirare clienti.

UK economy grew by slower-than expected 0.8 percent in May, ONS
UK economy witnessed slight growth in June
Britain's economy grew by a slower-than expected 0.8 percent in May from April, according to official data which raised questions about the intensity of the bounce-back from coronavirus lockdowns.
A Reuters poll of economists had pointed to month-on-month growth of 1.5 percent in gross domestic product (GDP).
The Office for National Statistics also revised down its figure for growth in April to 2.0 percent from its previous estimate of 2.3 percent.
April saw the easing of restrictions for non-essential retailers, hairdressers and pubs and restaurants that could serve customers outside. In May, hospitality firms were allowed to resume indoor service.
Despite the slowdown in May, the 0.8 percent growth rate was faster than typical pre-pandemic, month-on-month rises in GDP.
Britain's huge services sector grew by 0.9 percent from April, including a huge 37.1 percent monthly jump for accommodation and food services.
Industrial output grew by 0.8 percent while construction output contracted by 0.8 percent from April.
Growth meant GDP was 3.1 percent smaller at the end of May than it was in February 2020, before the pandemic struck the country.
Compared with May last year, when the country was grappling to come to terms with its first coronavirus lockdown, GDP was up by nearly 25 percent, the ONS said.

170.987 Health Care as a Fundamental Societal Obligation
CMS formally recognizes that every member of society deserves an adequate level of protection from illness and avoidable pain and suffering related to health problems and that this fundamental societal obligation is derived from the sum of the diverse ethical considerations of our values of equality of opportunity, justice and compassion.
(RES-3, AM 2007; Reaffirmed, BOD-1, AM 2014)
170.988 Stem Cell Research
The Colorado Medical Society (CMS) supports stem cell research conducted within appropriate ethical guidelines. CMS opposes federal funding restrictions on stem cell research conducted according to ethical guidelines established by the medical community.
(RES-10, AM 2006; Reaffirmed, BOD-1, AM 2014)
170.989 Code of Medical Ethics
The Colorado Medical Society (CMS) House of Delegates authorizes the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs to recommend changes in the CMS Bylaws and/or the CMS Policy Manual to reflect adoption of the American Medical Association Code of Medical Ethics as the CMS Code of Medical Ethics except where CMS has adopted independent opinions.
170.990 Patenting Human Genes
A patent grants the holder the right, for a limited amount of time, to prevent others from commercializing his or her inventions. At the same time, the patent system is designed to foster information sharing. Full disclosure of the invention-enabling another trained in the art to replicate it-is necessary to obtain a patent. Patenting is also thought to encourage private investment into research. Arguments have been made that the patenting of human genomic material sets a troubling precedent for the ownership or commodification of human life. DNA sequences, however, are not tantamount to human life, and it is unclear where and whether qualities uniquely human are found in genetic material.
Genetic research holds great potential for achieving new medical therapies. It remains unclear what role patenting will play in ensuring such development. At this time the American Medical Association Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs concludes that granting patent protection should not hinder the goal of developing new beneficial technology and offers the following guidelines:
Patents on processes-for example, processes used to isolate and purify gene sequences, genes, and proteins, or vehicles of gene therapy-do not raise the same ethical problems as patents on the substances themselves and are thus preferable.
Substance patents on purified proteins present fewer ethical problems than patents on genes or DNA sequences and are thus preferable.
Patent descriptions should be carefully constructed to ensure that the patent holder does not limit the use of a naturally occurring form of the substance in question. This includes patents on proteins, genes, and genetic sequences.
One of the goals of genetic research is to achieve better medical treatments and technologies. Granting patent protection should not hinder this goal.
Individuals or entities holding patents on genetic material should not allow patients to languish and should negotiate and structure licensing agreements in such a way as to encourage the development of better medical technology.
170.991 Gene Therapy
Gene therapy involves the replacement or modification of a genetic variant to restore or enhance cellular function or to improve the reaction of non-genetic therapies.
Two types of gene therapy have been identified: (1) somatic cell therapy, in which human cells other than germ cells are genetically altered, and (2) germ line therapy, in which a replacement gene is integrated into the genome of human gametes or their precursors, resulting in expression of the new gene in the patient's offspring and subsequent generations. The fundamental difference between germ line therapy and somatic cell therapy is that germ line therapy affects the welfare of subsequent generations and may be associated with increased risk and the potential for unpredictable and irreversible results. Because of the far-reaching implications of germ line therapy, it is appropriate to limit genetic intervention to somatic cells at this time.
The goal of both somatic cell and germ line therapy is to alleviate human suffering and disease by remedying disorders for which available therapies are not satisfactory. This goal should be pursued only within the ethical tradition of medicine, which gives primacy to the welfare of the patient whose safety and well-being must be vigorously protected. To the extent possible, experience with animal studies must be sufficient to assure the effectiveness and safety of the techniques used, and the predictability of the results.
Moreover, genetic manipulation generally should be utilized only for therapeutic purposes. Efforts to enhance "desirable" characteristics through the insertion of a modified or additional gene, or efforts to "improve" complex human traits "eugenic development of offspring" are contrary not only to the ethical tradition of medicine, but also to the egalitarian values of our society. Because of the potential for abuse, genetic manipulation to affect non-disease traits may never be acceptable and perhaps should never be pursued. If it is ever allowed, at least three conditions would have to be met before it could be deemed ethically acceptable: (1) there would have to be a clear and meaningful benefit to the person, (2) there would have to be no trade-off with other characteristics or traits, and (3) all citizens would have to have equal access to the genetic technology, irrespective of income or other socioeconomic characteristics. These criteria should be viewed as a minimal, not an exhaustive, test of the ethical propriety of non-disease-related genetic intervention. As genetic technology and knowledge of the human genome develop further, additional guidelines may be required.
As gene therapy becomes feasible for a variety of human disorders, there are several practical factors to consider to ensure safe application of this technology in society. First, any gene therapy research should meet the Council's guidelines on clinical investigation (Opinion 2.07) and investigators must adhere to the standards of medical practice and professional responsibility. The proposed procedure must be fully discussed with the patient and the written informed consent of the patient or the patient's legal representative must be voluntary.
Investigators must be thorough in their attempts to eliminate any unwanted viral agents from the viral vector containing the corrective gene. The potential for adverse effects of the viral delivery system must be disclosed to the patient. The effectiveness of gene therapy must evaluated fully, including the determination of the natural history of the disease and follow-up examination of subsequent generations. Gene therapy should be pursued only after the availability or effectiveness of other possible therapies is found to be insufficient. These considerations should be reviewed, as appropriate, as procedures and scientific information develop.
170.992 Human Cloning
"Somatic cell nuclear transfer" is the process in which the nucleus of a somatic cell of an organism is transferred into an enucleated oocyte. "Human cloning" is the application of somatic nuclear transfer technology to the creation of a human being that shares all of its nuclear genes with the person donating the implanted nucleus.
In order to clarify the many existing misconceptions about human cloning, physicians should help educate the public about the intrinsic limits of human cloning as well as the current ethical and legal protections that would prevent abuses of human cloning. These include the following:
Using human cloning as an approach to terminal illness or mortality is a concept based on the mistaken notion that one's genotype largely determines one's individuality. A clone-child created via human cloning would not be identical to his or her clone-parent.
Current ethical and legal standards hold that under no circumstances should human cloning occur without an individual's permission.
Current ethical and legal standards hold that a human clone would be entitled to the same rights, freedoms, and protections as every other individual in society. The fact that a human clone's nuclear genes would derive from a single individual rather than two parents would not change his or her moral standing.
Physicians have an ethical obligation to consider the harms and benefits of new medical procedures and technologies. Physicians should not participate in human cloning at this time because further investigation and discussion regarding the harms and benefits of human cloning are required. Concerns include:
Unknown physical harms introduced by cloning. Somatic cell nuclear transfer has not yet been refined and its long-term safety has not yet been proven. The risk of producing individuals with genetic anomalies gives rise to an obligation to seek better understanding of and potential medical therapies for the unforeseen medical consequences that could stem from human cloning.
Psychosocial harms introduced from cloning, including violations of privacy and autonomy. Human cloning risks limiting, at least psychologically, the seemingly unlimited potential of new human beings and thus creating enormous pressures on the clone-child to live up to expectations based on the life of the clone-parent.
The impact of human cloning on familial and societal relations. The family unit may be altered with the introduction of cloning, and more thought is required on a societal level regarding how to construct familial relations.
Potential effects on the gene pool. Like other interventions that can change individuals reproductive patterns and the resulting genetic characteristics of a population, human cloning has the potential to be used in a eugenic or discriminatory fashion-practices that are incompatible with the ethical norms of medical practice. Moreover, human cloning could alter irreversibly the gene pool and exacerbate genetic problems that arise from deleterious genetic mutations, resulting in harms to future generations.
Two potentially realistic and possibly appropriate medical uses of human cloning are for assisting individuals or couples to reproduce and for the generation of tissues when the donor is not harmed or sacrificed. Given the unresolved issues regarding cloning identified above, the medical profession should not undertake human cloning at this time and pursue alternative approaches that raise fewer ethical concerns.
Because cloning technology is not limited to the United States, physicians should help establish international guidelines governing human cloning.
170.993 Genetic Testing by Employers
As a result of the human genome project, physicians will be able to identify a greater number of genetic risks of disease. Among the potential uses of the tests that detect these risks will be screening of potential workers by employers. Employers may want to exclude workers with certain genetic risks from the workplace because these workers may become disabled prematurely, impose higher health care costs, or pose a risk to public safety. In addition, exposure to certain substances in the workplace may increase the likelihood that a disease will develop in the worker with a genetic risk for the disease.
It would generally be inappropriate to exclude workers with genetic risks of disease from the workplace because of their risk. Genetic tests alone do not have sufficient predictive value to be relied upon as a basis for excluding workers. Consequently, use of the tests would result in unfair discrimination against individuals who have positive test results. In addition, there are other ways for employers to serve their legitimate interests. Tests of a worker's actual capacity to meet the demands of the job can be used to ensure future employability and protect the public's safety. Routine monitoring of a worker's exposure can be used to protect workers who have a genetic susceptibility to injury from a substance in the workplace. In addition, employees should be advised of the risks of injury to which they are being exposed.
There may be a role for genetic testing in the exclusion from the workplace of workers who have a genetic susceptibility to injury. At a minimum, several conditions would have to be met:
The disease develops so rapidly that serious and irreversible injury would occur before monitoring of either the worker's exposure to the toxic substance or the worker's health status could be effective in preventing the harm.
The genetic testing is highly accurate, with sufficient sensitivity and specificity to minimize the risk of false negative and false positive test results.
Empirical data demonstrate that the genetic abnormality results in an unusually elevated susceptibility to occupational injury.
It would require undue cost to protect susceptible employees by lowering the level of the toxic substance in the workplace. The costs of lowering the level of the substance must be extraordinary relative to the employer's other costs of making the product for which the toxic substance is used. Since genetic testing with exclusion of susceptible employees is the alternative to cleaning up the workplace, the cost of lowering the level of the substance must also be extraordinary relative to the costs of using genetic testing.
Testing must not be performed without the informed consent of the employee or applicant for employment.
170.994 Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Death
"Euthanasia" contains the Greek words "eu" + "thanatos" (death) which means an easy death. Only the competent patient or the authentic proxy of the incompetent patient may decide what for each patient constitutes a good death.
Medical interventions may be withheld or withdrawn, allowing a disease process to continue its natural course leading to death. Competent patients have a moral right to seek a good death by refusing treatment if that is their wish. Furthermore, physicians have a moral obligation to honor the wishes of their competent patients or the authentic proxy of their incompetent patients, with respect to withholding and withdrawing undesired medical interventions.
"Euthanasia" has been used to describe a process in which an intervention by someone other than the patient is intended directly and immediately to bring about the death of a suffering patient at the patient's request. Euthanasia is not permitted in the United States. Because it often involves a patient who cannot provide active participation or may not be capable of making an informed decision at the time, it remains an ethical barrier to physician participation.
Physician assisted death is defined as providing a terminal patient, who is capable of making an informed and independent medical decision, with the means of a medication that the patient can self-administer with the intent of causing death.
Withdrawal of medication or other life-sustaining treatment is not considered euthanasia. Providing treatment or medication with the intention of easing the pain of a dying patient is acceptable treatment and not euthanasia, even though such treatment or medication may foreseeably hasten the moment of death.
PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED DEATH
It is incumbent upon the medical profession to use all means to ensure that dying patients are provided optimal treatment for their pain and other discomfort. This may include the use of more aggressive comfort care measures, including greater reliance on palliative and hospice care, which can alleviate the physical and emotional suffering that dying patients experience.
Physicians should recognize the physical, social and existential needs of patients with terminal illness. Involvement of palliative care at early stages of serious life-threatening illness or injury can allow patients and their support system adequate time and information to anticipate choices in care when/if the condition becomes terminal. Emotional suffering should also be addressed by health care professionals with expertise in the psychiatric aspects of terminal illness.
Every effort should be made to encourage advance care planning for patients and their families or support systems prior to disease progression.
Requests for physician-assisted death may be a signal to the physician that the patient's needs are unmet and further evaluation to identify the elements contributing to the patient's suffering is necessary. Multidisciplinary intervention, including specialty consultation, pastoral care, family counseling and other modalities should be sought as clinically indicated.
Further efforts to educate physicians about advanced pain management techniques, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, are necessary to overcome any shortcomings in this area. Physicians should recognize that courts and regulatory bodies readily distinguish between use of narcotic drugs to relieve pain in dying patients and use in other situations.
The principle of patient autonomy requires that physicians must respect the decision to forego life-sustaining treatment of a patient who possesses decision-making capacity. Life-sustaining treatment is any medical treatment that serves to prolong life without reversing the underlying medical condition. Life-sustaining treatment includes, but is not limited to, mechanical ventilation, renal dialysis, chemotherapy, antibiotics and artificial nutrition and hydration.
The professional and societal risks of involving physicians in medical interventions intended to cause patients' deaths are too great to condone euthanasia. Physicians have an obligation to relieve pain and suffering and to promote the dignity and autonomy of dying patients in their care. This includes providing effective palliative treatment including decisions regarding refusing or withdrawing care.
In those instances where state law or precedent permits physicians to assist terminal patients to self administer a lethal dose of medication with the intention of physician-assisted death: (1) Physicians and patients should be allowed to pursue options that do not violate either party's fundamental values; and (2) Adequate protections must be in place to protect both physicians and patients, including but not limited to:
Qualifications of a patient who can participate:
Adult, age 18 or older
Has the capacity to make medical decisions: able to understand their own condition, articulate their values, weigh risk and benefits
Has a confirmed terminal disease that is likely to result in death in 6 months
Is a resident of Colorado
Makes a voluntary request for aid in dying
Has had all feasible end-of-life services, including pain control, palliative care, comfort care and hospice
Must be able to self-administer lethal medication
Cannot take medication in a public place
Medical Requirements
Physician must have the qualified patient request aid in dying directly and in writing.
Waiting period between requests.
Cannot accept a request through an advanced directive, a power of attorney or other proxy.
Must obtain a confirming second opinion on diagnosis of terminal disease and capacity of patient to make a medical decision.
Refer for counseling if patient is depressed or has mental health issues that may affect judgment (or requirement for mental health evaluation).
Must discuss and document all options for end-of life care, risks /results of taking lethal medication.
At the time of prescribing, must document that patient is making an informed decision and that the decision can be rescinded at any time.
Reporting and documentation requirements
All discussions, consultations and prescriptions must be part of the patient's medical record.
Physician's duty to report to specified agency prescription for aid in dying, patient demographics, disease diagnosis, and insurance.
Yearly aggregated reports. Individual confidentiality.
Prescriptions identified as aid-in-dying medication.
Fraud protections: penalties for altering, forging prescriptions or suppressing rescissions.
Penalties for coercion from individuals, facilities or insurers to seek aid-in-dying medication.
Civil and other immunity for physicians who write prescriptions or who choose not to participate.
Requirements for witnesses to written request: must not be the patient's provider; one cannot be related or a beneficiary.
Safe storage of prescribed medication and requirement of return of unused medication.
Prohibition of euthanasia.
Encourage family notification.

170.995 Grievance Reviews
The Colorado Medical Society (CMS) Grievance Review Committee and all component society grievance review committees and the members of each of these committees individually and as a group are authorized by the CMS Board of Directors to conduct reviews on behalf of the CMS and its members.
(Motion of the Board, February 1998; Reaffirmed, BOD-1, AM 2014)
170.996 The Physician-Patient Covenant
Patient-Physician Covenant - Medicine is, at its center, a moral enterprise grounded in a covenant of trust. This covenant obliges physicians to be competent and to use their competence in the patient's best interests. Physicians, therefore, are both intellectually and morally obliged to act as advocates for the sick wherever their welfare is threatened and for their health at all times.
Today, this covenant of trust is significantly threatened. From within, there is growing legitimation of the physician's materialistic self-interest; from without, for-profit forces press the physician into the role of commercial agent to enhance the profitability of health care organizations. Such distortions of the physician's responsibility degrade the physician-patient relationship that is the central element and structure of clinical care. To capitulate to these alterations of the trust relationship is to significantly alter the physician's role as healer, care giver, helper, and advocate for the sick and for the health of all.
By its traditions and very nature, medicine is a special kind of human activity-one that cannot be pursued effectively without the virtues of humility, honesty, intellectual integrity, compassion, and effacement of excessive self-interest. These traits mark physicians as members of a moral community dedicated to something other than its own self-interest.
Our first obligation must be to serve the good of those persons who seek our help and trust us to provide it. Physicians, as physicians, are not, and must never be, commercial entrepreneurs, gateclosers, or agents of fiscal policy that runs counter to our trust. Any defection from primacy of the patient's well being places the patient at risk by treatment that may compromise quality of or access to medical care.
We believe the medical profession must reaffirm the primacy of its obligation to the patient through national, state, and local professional societies; our academic, research, and hospital organizations; and especially through personal behavior. As advocates for the promotion of health and support of the sick, we are called upon to discuss, defend, and promulgate medical care by every ethical means available. Only by caring and advocating for the patient can the integrity of our profession be affirmed. Thus we honor our covenant of trust with patients.
(RES-11, IM 1996; Reaffirmed, BOD-1, AM 2014)
170.997 Corporate Practice of Medicine
Recognizing the legislative changes regarding the corporate practice of medicine, the Colorado Medical Society supports adherence to the following ethical and legal guidelines, which apply to any type of practice arrangement:
Physicians must use their best efforts and skills in the care of patients and must be ever wary of those forces in society that can erode ethical medical practice.
The welfare of patients lies above the financial interest of the physician or of any hiring or contracting entity.
Clinical decision making must remain in the hands of the physician.
Physicians must not deny their patients' access to appropriate medical services based upon the promise of personal financial reward or the avoidance of financial penalties.
No entity that employs or contracts with physicians to provide medical care may offer these physicians any percentage of fees charged to patients for referred services provided by this entity or any other financial incentive to artificially increase services provided to patients.
The bylaws of any hospital which employs or contracts with community based physicians shall not discriminate with regard to credentials or staff privileges on the basis of whether a physician is an employee of, or a contracting physician with, the hospital.
Hospitals that employ or contract with physicians may not limit hospital-based referrals exclusively to those physicians whom they employ or with whom they contract if such a limitation on referrals compromises patient care.
170.998 Sexual Misconduct
The Colorado Medical Society supports the American Medical Association Principles of Medical Ethics and the Colorado Medical Board's Policy regarding sexual misconduct by physicians.
(Motion of the Board, July 1994; Revised, BOD-1, AM 2014)
170.999 Obligation to Report Impaired, Incompetent or Unethical Colleagues
Impairment should be reported to the hospital's in-house impairment program, if available. If no in-house program is available, or if the type of impairment is not normally addressed by an impairment program, e.g., extreme fatigue and emotional distress, then the chief of an appropriate clinical service, the chief of staff of the hospital, or other appropriate supervisor (e.g., the chief resident) should be alerted.
If a report cannot be made through the usual hospital channels, then a report should be made to an external impaired physician program. The local medical societies or state licensing boards typically would operate such programs.
Physicians in office-based practices who do not have clinical privileges at an area hospital should be reported directly to an impaired physician program.
If reporting to an individual or program that would facilitate the entrance of the impaired physician into an impaired physician program cannot be accomplished, then the impaired physician should be reported directly to the state licensing board.
Initial reports of incompetence should be made to the appropriate clinical authority who would be empowered to assess the potential impact on patient welfare and to facilitate remedial action, e.g., the chief resident, the chief of an appropriate clinical service, the chief of the hospital staff, or the medical director of a group medical practice.
The individual who receives a report of incompetence should, in turn, notify the hospital peer review body where appropriate. Physicians who receive reports of incompetence have an ethical duty to critically and objectively evaluate the reported information and to assure that identified deficiencies are either remedied or further reported to the state licensing board.
Instances of incompetence by physicians who have no hospital affiliation should be reported to the local or state medical society.
Continued behavior that is potentially injurious to patients must further be reported to the state licensing board.
If the incompetence is of a sufficiently serious nature as to pose an immediate threat to the health of the physician's patients, then it should be reported directly to the state licensing board.
Unethical Conduct – Unethical behavior (which does not fit into the category of either incompetence or impairment) should be reported in accordance with these guidelines:
Unethical conduct that threatens patient care or welfare should be reported to the appropriate authority for a particular clinical service, i.e., the chief resident, the chief of an appropriate clinical service, or the chief of the hospital staff.
Unethical behavior, which violates the provisions of the state licensing board, should be reported to the state licensing board.
Unethical conduct, which violates criminal statutes, should be reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
Examples of unethical conduct which to not fall into the above three categories, or unethical conduct, which has not been addressed through other channels, should be reported to the local or state medical society.
Where the impairment, incompetence, or unethical behavior of a physician continues despite the initial report(s), the reporting physician should report to a higher or additional authority. To aid physicians who report inappropriate behavior of colleagues in carrying out this obligation, the person or body receiving the initial report should notify the reporting physician when appropriate action has been taken.
Physicians should work to assure that state laws provide immunity to those who report impaired, incompetent, or unethical colleagues.
In certain circumstances, an anonymous report may be the only practical method of alerting an authoritative body to a colleague's misconduct. Anonymous reports of misconduct should receive appropriate review and confidential investigation by authorities.
Principles of due process must be observed in the conduct of all disciplinary matters involving physician participants at all levels. However, the confidentiality of the reporting physician should be maintained to the greatest extent possible within the constraints of due process, in order to minimize potential professional recriminations.
The medical profession as a whole must combat the perception that physicians are not adequately protecting the public from incompetent, impaired, or unethical physicians by better communicating its efforts and initiatives at maintaining high ethical standards and quality assurance.

Choosing religious life

Carmen M. Mangion
2 Choosing religious life As you go on you will learn to understand religious life, how it means doing God's will and not your own. We don't become nuns because we like it – because the life attracts us – but solely because 'The Master has come and called us'.1 The persistent myth of the Victorian woman, idle and innocent, performing domestic duties in the private sphere, protected from and unaware of the political world around her, has been rejected by many historians.2 Victorian women's activities in the public and the private spheres are the centre of a

The Modern Girl and religious life
Carmen Mangion
Introduction In 1969, Abbess Mary Joseph regaled the Poor Clares of Darlington on her return from the vocations exhibition in Leeds with 'interesting and amusing' talks on religious life, 'especially on how to deal with the modern girl'. The following week, Poor Clare abbess Mother Mary Paula Smallwood of Baddesley Clinton visited Darlington and also 'entertained us with stories of the "antics" of modern postulants'. 1 The Modern Girl was a recurrent trope which featured even in religious life. Each generation laid claim to its modernity with a Modern Girl

Contested identities
Catholic women religious in nineteenth-century England and Wales
Author: Carmen M. Mangion
Roman Catholic women's congregations are an enigma of nineteenth century social history. Over 10,000 women, establishing and managing significant Catholic educational, health care and social welfare institutions in England and Wales, have virtually disappeared from history. In nineteenth-century England, representations of women religious were ambiguous and contested from both within and without the convent. This book places women religious in the centre of nineteenth-century social history and reveals how religious activism shaped the identity of Catholic women religious. It is devoted to evolution of religious life and the early monastic life of the women. Catholic women were not pushed into becoming women religious. On the basis of their available options, they chose a path that best suited their personal, spiritual, economic and vocational needs. The postulancy and novitiate period formed a rite of passage that tested the vocation of each aspirant. The book explores the religious activism of women religious through their missionary identity and professional identity. The labour of these women was linked to their role as evangelisers. The book deals with the development of a congregation's corporate identity which brought together a disparate group of women under the banner of religious life. It looks specifically at class and ethnicity and the women who entered religious life, and identifies the source of authority for the congregation and the individual sister.

Catholic nuns and sisters in a secular age
Britain, 1945–90
Series: Gender in History
Author: Carmen Mangion
Catholic nuns and sisters in a secular age examines the changes in religious life for women religious in Britain from 1945 to 1990 identifying how community and individual lives were altered. This work is grounded in three core premises: women religious were influenced by and participated in the wider social movements of the long 1960s; women's religious institutes were transnational entities and part of a larger global happening; and the struggles of renewal were linked to competing and contradictory ideas of collective, institutional identities. The work pivots on the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), but considers pre and post Vatican II social, cultural and religious events and social movements of the 1960s as influencers in these changes. It interrogates 'lived experience' by examining the day-to-day lives of women religious. Though rooted in the experiences of women religious in Britain, the book probes the relationships and interconnectivities between women religious within and across national divides as they move from institutions embedded in uniformity to the acceptance of cultural plurality. It also engages with the histories of the social movements of the long 1960s. For too long, religion has been relegated to its own silo, unlinked to the 'radical sixties' and depicted as ultimately obstructionist to its social movements. To contest this, female religious life is examined as a microcosm of change in the Catholic Church pointing to the 'new thinking and freer lifestyles' that allowed for the questioning of institutional cultures.
Becoming visible
women who had 'the same idea at the same time'. Yet this idea was not new; it had been evolving over the past eighteen hundred years.3 Women's pursuit of religious life was not static despite Rome's attempts to rigidly define monastic life for women. Women tested the boundaries of their enclosed existence. Sometimes they were thrust back into the cloister; at other times they found a space that allowed them to modify the prescribed monastic model. By the nineteenth century, the dominance of simple-vowed congregations and religious life outside the cloister became the

Post-war modernity and religious vocations
In this crisis of vocations, be watchful lest the customs, the way of life or the asceticism of your religious families should prove a barrier or be a cause of failures. 1 Introduction Thirty-something Catholics Edna John and Doris Andrews met while working at the Catholic Truth Society. In 1936, they realised they had something in common: both felt drawn to a vocation to religious life but were hindered by family responsibilities and poor health. During the Second World War, like many civilians, they 'did their bit' and became air raid wardens. In
Becoming a woman
religious life were leading to the 'emancipation' of women religious. But did she consider that a good thing? Speaking to novice mistresses on a training day in the early 1960s, she underscored the difficulties that women religious faced, inside and outside the convent and in the 'critical eyes of the world'. Disparaging female religious who were ignorant of world problems, she instead expected them to be aware of the major 'crisis of their times': atomic weapons, strike mentality, 'atheistic communism' and the break-up of family life. At the same time she regretted the

Q: Angular Material Autco-complete Clear How do I append my own function when the clear button is clicked on the Angular Material Auto-complete.
URL: https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/autocomplete
For example: I want to run myFunctyion() when the X button in the Auto-complete field is clicked.

A: The button comes from the following code's ng-click:
<button
                type="button"
                tabindex="-1"
                ng-if="$mdAutocompleteCtrl.scope.searchText && !$mdAutocompleteCtrl.isDisabled"
                ng-click="$mdAutocompleteCtrl.clear()">
              <md-icon md-svg-icon="md-close"></md-icon>
              Clear
            </button>

If you wrote a button element directive or a mdVisuallyHidden class directive with a high priority, you may be able to intercept the event and handle it yourself...
OR submit a pull request to add such an event to https://github.com/angular/material/blob/master/src/components/autocomplete/js/autocompleteDirective.js

A: Agree with previous answer that "X" button will trigger $mdAutocompleteCtrl.clear().
But my tips will bit different, beside write custom directive you can just put your function to $mdAutocompleteCtrl.clear() at angular-material.js library. Or make a public variable that can passing your function inside $mdAutocompleteCtrl.clear() function.
Actually $mdAutocompleteCtrl.clear() it self is only an alias for public method. The real function name at angular-material.js is clearValue()

Nubank IPO
As reported by CNBC, Nubank stock began trading at $11.25 a share under the ticker symbol "NU", higher than Wednesday's IPO price of $9 apiece. Taking into account employee stock options and restricted stock units, Nubank has a fully diluted value of $44 billion.
Further, the largest fintech company in Latin America sold 289 million shares and became the most valuable listed bank in the region.
CEO David Vélez said: "By focusing on our clients, we work very hard to be true to our mission, in the culture of empowering people, putting our consumers at the center of everything we do and being obsessed with what we can do better —we are now 48 million people believing that there is a better life."
"The feedback on this IPO from our clients has been incredible, the support has been incredible, people have come to New York to take part. We are proud to have more than 6.5 million people who are now partners through our program and more than 800,000 investors who bought our shares ", explained co-founder Cristina Junqueira.
The Most Valuable In The Region
Despite its debut on the New York Stock Exchange, the stock cannot yet be traded in U.S. markets. At the moment, the shares that operate on the Stock Exchange are exclusively owned by the investors participating in the IPO.
Nubank explained it will "take the time" to open to the secondary market while the firm adapts to the conditions of the NYSE. The Brazilian company stressed that the date cannot be revealed as it respects the rules of the U.S. financial authorities.
The first week of November, it was announced that Nubank was seeking a valuation of up to $50.6 billion. However, after the transaction, the company reached a market value of $41 billion and a fully diluted value of $ 44 billion.
Even after having lowered its expectations, according to Forbes, the IPO makes Nubank the most valuable financial institution in Latin America surpassing Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., with a market value of $38 billion.
