This article investigates the transformation of the journalistic sourcing practices in Russian and US foreign reporting in the course of 20 years. Content analysis of two American newspapers (The Los Angeles Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer) and four Russian ones (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Izvestia, Novaya Gazeta and Kommersant) was conducted. Based on the results of the research, the author concludes that foreign correspondents from both countries prefer foreign news sources to domestic ones. However, judging from the news items published in 2015, there is a notable shift towards the latter in Russian newspapers. Here, official sources are inalterably at the top of the hierarchy of newsworthiness. That is also partially the case for the US, where journalists rely on the officials while gathering information about the newsworthy event. At the same time, they prefer to get comments and additional information from the witnesses and participants of the covered events. It is also clear that foreign correspondents both in Russia and in the United States rarely resort to the use of social media as quotable sources.

Does Homework Help Your Grades? How?
Practice makes perfect and this is something we have heard so many times. So, how does this apply in your life? As a student, you keep practicing a lot of things in what is commonly known as school homework. For this reason, people have invested a lot of time and resources in doing their homework and the results have been greatly rewarding. Math students for instance need math homework help in order to continue learning and sharpening their mathematical skills. In class, there is hardly enough time to work on everything that is being taught in class. More than that, your tutor may not have enough time to make you understand everything. Therefore, you need homework to help you learn more and improve your grades during the final exams.
You get to understand things you didn't get in class. As you work on your science homework, there will be a lot of things to look at. This is especially if you didn't understand some areas that were taught in class. This is usually a time of reflection and looking back at the things that you could do better by working more on them. Therefore, it is a time to get more knowledge and god preparation on areas that would otherwise give you a challenge during exam time. When your spare time to go over such topics over and over again, you definitely will become knowledgeable in what seemed difficult to you at first.
You get to learn important applications on the topic learnt hence become an expert at it. As you work on your homework, you not only learn about the topic, but also on how to make important applications. When you get to the point of making useful applications in that area, the idea sticks well in your mind and are able to remember it even during the final exams. This gives you the ability to perform well in all areas.
You improve the rate at which you can complete a test. As I ponder over who can I pay to do my homework, I always look at spend and quality. Time is very essential in exams and delayed assignments despite their correctness will attract a low grade. Every homework should be completed within a certain set time. In that case, working with a swift homework helper teaches you how to be quick too which is important during your exams and final grade.
Your skills get sharpened. Continued practice is all you need to excel at what you do. As I solve my homework, I get to see things that didn't sink in my mind. Various ways of approaching the exam questions emerge and soon, all the mysteries encountered in the course of your learning become very evident.

Lumbar spine kinesthesia in patients with low back pain.
Lam SS1, Jull G, Treleaven J.
Grand Plaza Physiotherapy Centre, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Single-group, posttest only, using a sample of convenience.
To measure the repositioning error of subjects with low back pain for lumbar sagittal movement using a simple kinesthetic test previously described.
Patients with low back pain are commonly observed to have difficulty in adopting a mid or neutral position of the lumbar spine.
Twenty subjects with low back pain were required to reproduce an upright neutral posture of the lumbar spine following movement into flexion in a sitting position. Trunk positioning accuracy was measured with an electromagnetic tracking device.
The mean absolute value of the repositioning error in the sagittal plane was 2.25 degrees +/-0.88 degrees on day 1 and 2.32 degrees +/-1.62 degrees on day 2. The performance of patients with low back pain was similar to that of asymptomatic patients in a previous study, although subjects with low back pain overshot the neutral position more frequently (79%) than did nonimpaired subjects (50%).
Subjects with low back pain may have attempted to use extra mechanoreceptive cues to compensate for some kinesthetic deficit. Nevertheless, the kinesthetic test used was not sensitive enough to detect any repositioning deficits, and reasons for this are explored.

JANESBORO player Danny O'Neill made the shortlist for Junior Soccer player of the year at Sunday night's FAI International Football Awards at the RTE Studios.
David Hoban (Westport United) and Stephen Kelly (Newmarket Celtic) are the others nominated for the award.
O'Neill has been one of the most consistent players over the last five seasons in the Premier League.
His Premier baptism in 2009/10 ended in disappointment as he played 15 times before Geraldines were relegated.
Staying with the 'Dines until they won promotion from Division 1A in 2012, Danny starred for the Dines in 2012/13 (25 appearances), 2013/14 (35), 2014/15 (26), 2015/16 (26) before transferring this season to Janesboro.
He had also represented Limerick seven times in the Oscar Traynor trophy and Irish manager Gerry Davis called him up to the squad along with 'Boro team mate Steven Bradley and Pike Rovers' Pat Mullins earlier in the year and he impressed enough to win five caps and earn a nomination for the ultimate recognition.
Fairview's Kevin McCarthy and Barry Flynn are previous winners of an award that should have spent a lot more time on Shannonside over the years.
In the Premier League, Nenagh AFC will be glad to have seen the back of Fairview Rangers for this season.
Having already gone down in FAI and Munster Junior Cups to the Fairgreen side, on Sunday Paul O'Donnell's men may well have ended the Tipperary's sides hopes of nipping in between Janesboro and Pike Rvs to take the title.
Christy Doyle gave Fairview a first half lead and after the restart Darragh Rainsford pounced to fire in his 17th of the season.
Nenagh's were then reduced to ten men and paid the price as Dave Hannon and George Daffy added further goals.
Following a couple of disappointing Cup results over the last week, Janesboro ensured their League title bid is right on cue following a 2-1 win at Kilmallock on Sunday.
Shane Clarke from a penalty and Adrian Power had the League favourites two ahead before Barry Sheedy pulled one back for the home side.
Pike Rovers turned in another fine display hitting Regional for six without reply at a gusty Pike Field on Sunday.
First half goals from Dave Ryan, an own goal, Eoin Hanrahan and Shane Walsh saw Pike well in command and after the break John Connery and Steve McGann completed the rout.

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class SUV Teaser Drops On Social Media
This usually means an official reveal is right around the corner.
Jun 05, 2019 at 2:27pm ET
First came the camouflage striptease, now comes the official teasers. Mercedes-Benz is ramping up the PR campaign for its forthcoming GLB-Class SUV. The compact people mover is slated to debut this summer, though an exact reveal date hasn't been given thus far. With an official teaser campaign kicking off, that reveal could be coming sooner rather than later.
Officially Revealed:
⠀ 2020 Mercedes GLB: Get To Know The 7-Seat SUV Through Videos
⠀ 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Debuts As Compact Seven-Seat SUV
As you can see from Merc's Facebook post, the teaser isn't terrifically revealing save for the slightest of glimpses into what looks like a digital cockpit. The greenhouse should be very similar to what we see in the current A-Class, since the new GLB shares its bones with Merc's entry-level offering. The exterior silhouette doesn't reveal anything we haven't already seen, though this combined with recent spy photos shows us the boxy SUV won't be quite as boxy as we originally thought. It still sports a bulky appearance compared to the GLC-Class, but by no means will it be a baby G-Class.
Gallery: 2020 Mercedes GLB new spy photos
We've watched the new GLB-Class unfold over the course of many months, and while nothing is officially confirmed, we do know a few details. With its A-Class underpinnings, just about everything powertrain-related should stem from the compact. That includes the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that will probably get AMG treatment further down the road, turning either the front wheels or all four. It's also possible the GLB-Class could nix the front-wheel-drive option completely, considering Mercedes is engineering this SUV to have three rows of available seating.
As we mentioned previously, a specific reveal date isn't known but with the teaser campaign underway, we could be talking about a couple of months or even a matter of weeks. When it debuts, it will join an ever-expanding lineup of crossovers and SUVs from Mercedes that seems to be never-ending.

Even the relatively workaday Darmah iteration of the big bevel-drive cam Ducatis is a sought after, high-ticket machine now. This one looks like a well-loved example that's something of a throwback to the times when they were largely an unwanted, obsolete Italian for the dedicated or deluded enthusiast (MG had several in the 1990s and falls in the latter group). Non-standard, well used and fitted with various upgrades, it could be a great road or classic trackday tool for the classic Duke fan not fussed about investment potential. Needs scabby exhausts sorted, and a wiring issue solved, somewhat stereotypically.
I'm not sure where I'd know where to start with one of those. Anyone can look after a later belt-cam Ducati, but you need something of an engineer's mind to care for the bevel bikes. You can tell it's been loved and used properly, but you need to have in-depth knowledge for these things.

Microsoft and Sony partner for game streaming and other technologies
Let's see what happens next.
Asher Madan
Microsoft and Sony will partner on gaming streaming technology going forward.
The two companies will collaborate on image sensors.
They also aim to create user-friendly AI experiences.
Today might be a day for the history books. Microsoft and Sony just announced a partnership to focus on innovations to "enhance customer experiences in their direct-to-consumer entertainment platforms." This means that the two companies will explore joint development of future cloud technology related to game and content-streaming services. That's not all though, the statement added that the two will also explore the use of Microsoft Azure for Sony's streaming services. In order to grow its online ambitions, Sony needed to partner with an established cloud provider.
Microsoft and Sony will also collaborate on semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI). When it comes to semiconductors, both parties will focus on image sensors. The statement went on to say that by "integrating Sony's cutting-edge image sensors with Microsoft's Azure... technology... the companies aim to provide enhanced capabilities for enterprise customers." When it comes to AI, the two want to focus on user-friendly experiences which can help customers in their day-to-day lives.
Excited about the opportunities ahead with @Sony for us to pursue our mutual gaming ambitions and delight players around the world. https://t.co/3vBuQiruiR
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) May 16, 2019
Sony President Kenichiro Yoshida said the following when discussing the partnership.
Sony is a creative entertainment company with a solid foundation of technology. We collaborate closely with a multitude of content creators that capture the imagination of people around the world, and through our cutting-edge technology, we provide the tools to bring their dreams and vision to reality. PlayStation itself came about through the integration of creativity and technology. Our mission is to seamlessly evolve this platform as one that continues to deliver the best and most immersive entertainment experiences, together with a cloud environment that ensures the best possible experience, anytime, anywhere. For many years, Microsoft has been a key business partner for us, though of course the two companies have also been competing in some areas. I believe that our joint development of future cloud solutions will contribute greatly to the advancement of interactive content.
Microsoft's Satya Nadella also shared a few words about the announcement.
Sony has always been a leader in both entertainment and technology, and the collaboration we announced today builds on this history of innovation. Our partnership brings the power of Azure and Azure AI to Sony to deliver new gaming and entertainment experiences for customers.
It's clear that the focus is definitely on gaming here. It'll be interesting to see what this collaboration produces in the future. This is an exciting time to be a gamer! Who would've thought Microsoft and Sony would come together in such a meaningful way?
Negotiations with Microsoft began last year and were handled directly by Sony's senior management in Tokyo, largely without the involvement of the PlayStation unit, according to people familiar with the matter. Staff at the gaming division were caught off-guard by the news. Managers had to calm workers and assure them that plans for the company's next-generation console weren't affected, said the people, asking not to be identified discussing private matters.
What are your thoughts on this announcement? What do you hope to see from the partnership? Let us know.

Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Concert, Apr. 24, 2015
March 5, 2015 aroundindy Leave a comment Go to comments
Hilbert Circle Theatre. AroundIndy.com staff photo, (c) 2013, all rights reserved.
By Jessica Redden
On behalf of the Symphonic Choir
Composer Mohammed Fairouz's first Oratorio, Zabur will receive its world premiere performance by the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 24, 2015, at the Hilbert Circle Theatre, 45 Monument Circle, in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.
Paired alongside the always intimate and moving Fauré's Requiem, the large-scale Zabur takes its name from the Arabic title for the Psalms of David. The performance will also feature the Indianapolis Children's Choir and guest soloists performing a new setting of the ancient Psalm text, re-imagined in the contemporary Middle East.
"Performing and commissioning new, bold works is at the heart of our mission, and the Symphonic Choir sees a call to engage others in our community in that experience of creating new works of music," says Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Artistic Director Eric Stark.
"The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir regularly join together to perform great choral masterworks," says Gary Ginstling, CEO of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
"Now, we have the rare opportunity to bring to life a new large-scale oratorio from an acclaimed young composer, a work that communicates across the religious divide using the universal language of music and draws upon the strengths of so many performing arts and faith-based organizations in Indianapolis."
Zabur was commissioned by a consortium led by the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, comprised of Jewish, Christian and Islamic congregational partners as well as public and private schools, and other arts institutions.
Scored for chorus, children's choir, soloists and orchestra, Zabur sets several of the Arabic psalms within the context of an original libretto by acclaimed writer and actor Najla Said.
Said re-imagines King David as a poet living and writing in the upheaval of the contemporary Middle East, composing the Psalms as a way to contend with his day-to-day reality.
Described by Gramophone as "a post-millennial Schubert," Mohammed Fairouz is an adept and accomplished writer for the voice with an opera (a second in progress), 13 song cycles, and hundreds of art songs to his credit.
For Zabur, Fairouz looked to Stravinsky's Latin Symphony of Psalms and Bernstein's Hebrew Chichester Psalms as models.
"I was eager to bring my own cultural dimension to the Psalms," says Fairouz. "By bringing back the essential Arabic aspect of the Psalms as well as by setting the ancient texts in a contemporary environment, Zabur attempts to take the Psalms 'off the shelf' and restore their original form as raw human poetic documents."
Tickets are on sale now and range from $20 to $56 with student tickets available for $10. Tickets are available at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Box Office, IndianapolisSymphony.org, or via phone at 317-639-4300. Ticketed patrons will have the opportunity to meet the composer at the Words on Music event beginning at 7:15 p.m.

Q: VueJS how to double doubleclick I have a table with columns of different widths. I use sticky headers for which I have to calculate the column widths.
Now I wrote a function to increase the column width by double clicking the header. This works for the first double click. But if I click on it 4 or 6 times nothing happens after the first double click.
How can I reset the event so that after 2 more clicks the event is triggered again?
When I move the mouse I can do several double clicks one after the other. But that is not the goal.
Here is the code snippet:
<th
  v-for="c in data.columns"
  v-if="visiblecolumns.includes(c)"
  v-on:dblclick="COLUMN_DEFINITION[c]+=50"
  :style="{ 'min-width': COLUMN_DEFINITION[c] + 'px', 'max-width': COLUMN_DEFINITION[c] + 'px' }">
    {{ c }}
</th>

A: <th
  v-for="c in data.columns"
  v-if="visiblecolumns.includes(c)"
  @click="changeColumnDefinition"
  :style="{ 'min-width': COLUMN_DEFINITION[c] + 'px', 'max-width': COLUMN_DEFINITION[c] + 'px' }">
    {{ c }}
</th>

From: vue.js: how to handle click and dblclick events on same element, and as suggested by @JBDouble05
new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data: {
        counter: 0,  // count the clicks
        timer: null  // Needs to be specified here so it can be accessed on both clicks
    },
    methods: {
        changeColumnDefinition: function(event){
            var self = this
            this.counter++
            if(this.counter == 1) {
                this.timer = setTimeout(function() {
                    // DO NOTHING BUT RESET IN CASE THERES JUST ONE CLICK
                    self.counter = 0
                }, 500);  // increase delay as you like
            }else{
                clearTimeout(this.timer);
                // COLUMN_DEFINITION[c]+=50
                self.counter = 0;
            }
        }
    }
});

NOTE This goes beyond the question, but:
I would personally wrap this up in a component, since you probably will have more than one header. If you need to call an outside function just use:
this.$emit('someEvent', someValue);

To emit an event and then access it in your component as
<my-awesome-component @someEvent="someFunction"></my-awesome-component>

A: What you should do is make a modulo variable, and attach an incrementational statement to your v-on:dblclick attribute, that adds one to (increments) the value of a variable, and then, add an event listener in your JavaScript file, and when this happens, perform a modulus operation upon that variable: if it's divisible by two (counter % 2 == 0), then the user has double-clicked twice. If it's not divisible by two (counter % 2 != 0) then they've clicked on it an odd number of times, and you can re-engage the event that occurred when they first double-clicked on it. That was a mouthful, but hopefully you got it, and just ask if you need simplification or further explanation.

Both bus riders and people driving around busses can improve each other's safety by learning some simple, safe habits.
Many people throughout Washington use public transportation, especially in the Seattle Metro area. Busses are a particularly useful and affordable way for folks to get around. Being large and unwieldy, busses require an extra degree of safety protocol beyond what is needed with normal vehicles. This need for safety extends not only to those using the public transit system, but to drivers who are sharing the road with busses. Knowing some of the best safety practices while on or around busses can help people to avoid accidental injury.
A general tip for anyone driving any kind of vehicle, but especially around a bus is to be as focused and calm as possible. Distractions like cellphones and food can take a person's eyes of the road just long enough for him or her to get into a crash. Due to the fact the busses are constantly stopping and have restrictions as to how fast they can turn and accelerate, people should be patient when near them, and avoid making aggressive lane changes.
It takes a lot of space for a bus to complete a turn, so it is important to allow it room to complete any turn being made. The spot directly behind a bus is a blind spot, and it is very dangerous to tailgate one. The converse is also true: it is dangerous to stop too quickly in front of busses, because their longer stopping distances can make collision more likely.
There are a few things that people can do to make things safer for themselves and everyone else using the bus system. A person who is securing his or her bike to a bus's front rack should make sure the driver is aware that he or she is there. When getting on or off a bus, people should be aware of any passing cars. It is not safe to cross in front of a bus while it is stopped, as there is a risk of being struck. It is a better idea to wait until after the bus has left to cross. Perhaps the most important thing people can do is to be aware of their surroundings what is going on around them.
Anybody in Washington who has been injured as a result of an accident involving a city bus may be dealing with difficult pain and suffering, as well as an ordeal of medical bills. Those who seek financial restitution for what has happened to them may have an option. An attorney in the local area who practices motor vehicle law may be able to help get someone the money he or she deserves.

Swept Away by the Crowd? Crowdfunding, Venture Capital, and the Selection of Entrepreneurs

Venture Capitalists (VCs) are experts in assessing the quality of entrepreneurial ventures. A long tradition of research has examined the signals of quality that VCs look for in new ventures, and the biases that result from the VC selection process. Recently, an alternative form of new venture funding has arisen in the form of crowdfunding, which relies on the judgement of millions of amateurs about which entrepreneurial projects are worth funding. Little is known about the degree to which amateurs respond to the same signals of quality as VCs, and whether they are subject to the same biases. To address this gap, I examine 2,101 crowdfunded projects that match characteristics of more traditional VC-backed seed ventures. Despite the radical differences in selection environments, I find that entrepreneurial quality is assessed in similar ways by both VCs and crowdfunders, but that crowdfunding alleviates some of geographic and gender biases associated with the way that VCs look for signals of quality.

6 - Advances in the computational photography tools: Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) and Algorithmic Rendering (AR)
This talk will present an overview of the latest developments in RTI and AR technologies.
Reflectance Transformation Imaging
RTI creates digital representations from image sequences where light is projected from different directions. The lighting information from this image set is mathematically synthesized into an RTI image, enabling a user to interactively re-light and enhance the subject's surface in incredible detail.
We will examine multi-spectral RTI and the hidden topological landscapes disclosing under-painting and drawings in the infra-red and the fine surface information disclosed in ultra-violet wavelengths. We will discuss RTI of subjects under magnification using macro and microscopic optics as well as updates in viewing technology.
New developments in the related technology Algorithmic Rendering (AR), which uses the same data sets as RTI, will also be presented. The development of new AR technology by Princeton University and Cultural Heritage Imaging is supported by a significant grant from the National Science Foundation. The end-product will be an open-source tool which will extract and merge visual information available only under certain lighting conditions, certain wavelengths, or certain imaging modalities. Users will be able to generate high quality, comprehensible illustrations for documentation, scientific study, and sharing with colleagues, collection visitors, and the public.
New software tools to better collect and manage the metadata surrounding the creation of RTI and AR will also be discussed. This "digital lab notebook" is a critical element in the generation of scientifically reliable digital representations that enable future reuse for novel purposes, assist the long-term digital preservation of the virtual representations, and aid the physical conservation of the digitally represented museum materials.
RTI is undergoing rapid adoption in the US museum conservation field. A US Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) sponsored training program is bringing a four day RTI training to all six masters programs in art conservation in North America, as well as four regional museum trainings open to museum professionals. As a result of this program over 150 museum professionals and pre-professionals will be fully trained in RTI technology, in addition to the many institutions that are adopting RTI outside of this program including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

New Zealand, at General Assembly, urges reformed UN to 'do better' to solve global problems
UN Photo/Cia Pak
Craig John Hawke, Permanent Representative of New Zealand to the United Nations, addresses the general debate of the General Assembly's seventy-second session.
The United Nations is crucial to tackling the plethora of problems confronting the world – from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) nuclear programme to global development and climate change – but it can and must do better, New Zealand told the General Assembly's 72nd annual general debate today.
"The United Nations is unique in its ability to convene the world in order to tackle problems that require collective action," the Head of Delegation Craig Hawke said. "Widely recognized rules, buttressed by an effective United Nations, are the best guarantors of our security and our economic well-being, particularly for small States."
Guarantees are also the best means of ensuring decent treatment and decent conditions for the world's citizens, thereby reducing conditions that lead to unrest, conflict and misery, he added.
"But we all recognize that the United Nations can do better, and to do so must be
more relevant, effective and fit for purpose," he declared, noting that Secretary-General António Guterres's reform agenda provides an opportunity to make this a reality.
"Important work lies ahead for us to reform the development and peace and security pillars. The United Nations needs to invest a much greater proportion of its resources and effort in preventing conflict, rather than focusing primarily on the consequences of conflict," he concluded, calling for management reform.
"It is our sincere hope that reform can achieve our collective goal of better reflecting the ideals of the UN Charter and, ultimately, ensuring that the UN delivers better outcomes for our generation and those to come."

Q: c++ registry not getting second value why is this not working? the first RegGetValue puts correct values in value variable, the second doesn't, however if I comment the first RegGetValue the second will then work and put the correct content into value2 variable. I tried closind and reopening the registry key using RegOpenKeyEx after the first RegGetValue function call but with no succes.
What I am doing wrong
HKEY hKey = NULL;
LSTATUS res;

res=RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "", 0, KEY_READ|KEY_WOW64_64KEY, &hKey);
if(res!=ERROR_SUCCESS)
         printf("insucces\n");
else {
    char value[255], value2[255];
    memset(value,0,255);
    memset(value2,0,255);
DWORD BufferSize = BUFFER;
RegGetValue(hKey,"\\.jpeg","",RRF_RT_ANY,NULL,(PVOID)&value, &BufferSize);
strcat(value,"\\DefaultIcon");
RegGetValue(hKey,"jpegfile\\DefaultIcon","",RRF_RT_ANY,NULL,(PVOID)&value2, &BufferSize);

printf("succes %s\n",value2);

}

A: From the RegGetValue manual about your last parameter;

pcbData [in, out, optional]
A pointer to a variable that specifies
  the size of the buffer pointed to by the pvData parameter, in bytes.
  When the function returns, this variable contains the size of the data
  copied to pvData.

In other words, the contents of your BufferSize variable is changed by the first call to be the size of the first value returned, and needs to be reset before the second call.

Commentary on the New Animal Research Code - Dr Malcolm France
A new edition of the Australian Code for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes was released in July this year – the 8th edition of a code dating back to 1969. This code lies at the core of animal research regulation in Australia and its integration into state legislation makes it legally binding.
The body responsible for drafting the new Code was a working committee of daunting proportions. It included representatives from all state and territory regulators, 3 commonwealth government departments, the RSPCA, Animals Australia (which itself represents 40 animal protection organisations), the research sector, funding bodies and an independent expert. Their equally daunting workload began four years ago with a targeted consultation generating 70 submissions. A public consultation followed which generated another 240 submissions leaving the working party with about 5,000 individual comments to be considered. With this diversity of input, it is important to dispel the notion implied in some commentaries that the Code is a policy of the NHMRC alone.
Apart from being considerably longer than the previous edition (the body of the text has grown by about 50%), there is a particularly important development in the structure of the new Code: its four Governing Principles. The entire first section is devoted to defining these Principles and to add further emphasis, they are reiterated frequently throughout the rest of the document.
The Governing Principles highlight the obligation to respect animals and to consider whether the effect on animal wellbeing is justified by the benefits from their use in research. Each Principle is further developed to encompass the obligation to seek alternatives, the 3Rs, safeguarding animal wellbeing, the importance of proper experimental design and the obligation to accept responsibilities. The Governing Principles' emphasis on respect and justification, although not entirely new, now has a far higher profile and more clearly defines theCode as a framework for ethical decision-making and not merely a legalistic regulatory document.
During the preparation of the Code, much discussion went into the use of the word 'must' rather than 'should' in relation to achieving outcomes. This has raised the bar in a number of specific areas (training and competency assessment for example) although the most far-reaching is probably the requirement that all institutions must now undergo an external review at least every four years. Previously, an external review was recommended but not actually mandated in all states. The introduction of mandatory external reviews in all jurisdictions should provide greater reassurance that the self-regulatory components of the system are meeting with compliance.
The new Code continues with the Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) system as the heart of the ethical decision-making process. With 3 out of its 4 membership categories comprising representatives from animal welfare and the broader community, the AEC structure allows a degree of informed, case-by-case ethical assessment that would be difficult under a more distant, centralized structure.
As with previous editions, the new Code is utilitarian in its philosophical position. That is, it is permissive of animal research provided it can be justified in the interests of the greater good. While this will always conflict with an uncompromising rights-based view where no amount of potential benefit could justify animal use, utilitarianism covers a broader range of ethical positions including that expounded by Peter Singer which places a very strict limit on what could be justified. This flexibility seems appropriate for a pluralistic society such as Australia.
Overall, the new Code's Governing Principles send a particularly strong message about the importance of respect and justification in the ethical decision-making process. Those close to the AEC system will know how hard committee members work to achieve ethical outcomes. Perhaps the greatest challenge now lies with the institutions among whose duties – clearly enshrined in the new Code – is to support their AECs and ensure they are free to consider values and not just the mechanics of research.

SUPER BOWL LIV: WHY THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WILL WIN
nflhu.blog.hu
Defending MVP Patrick Mahomes, who leads the Chiefs into Super Bowl LIV
Nathan Travis, Staff Writer
Super Bowl LIV is right around the corner and we have the San Francisco 49ers taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. Believe it or not, it is the Chief's first Super Bowl appearance since 1969! Both teams are outstanding and have proven that they belong in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs were able to come back from a 24-0 deficit at the beginning of the 2nd quarter of the AFC Divisional Round against the Houston Texans and followed that by their destruction of the Tennessee Titans, who had just knocked off the defending Super Bowl Champs two weeks before and the AFC's #1 team the previous week. The San Francisco 49ers took down the Minnesota Vikings in a close game in the first half, but didn't allow them to score any points in the second half, making the final score 27-10. They also beat Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship with a hefty win of 37-20. Both teams are real threats to each other and won't let the other win easily, making the game potentially one of the greatest Super Bowl matchups in the history of the NFL, but we are all asking the same question; Who is going to win the Super Bowl? The Chiefs will. Here's why.
The Kansas City Chiefs are an outstanding team, specifically their offense. They are capable of dropping 28 points in one quarter. In ONE quarter. Obviously, they can easily overcome any deficit as they proved that against the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round. Patrick Mahomes is an absolute beast that is almost impossible to stop, and I don't think the 49ers defense will be able to stop him or the receiving core. As of late, Mahomes has been running the ball a little bit more than usual, but he's making it work as he is able to pick up the first down on almost every time he takes it himself. The passing game Andy Reid has coached the team for is phenomenal with Mahomes and his receivers. Mahomes put up over 5,000 passing yards and 50+ touchdowns, leading him to an MVP last season. This young man is capable of so much when it comes to playing the QB position, as he is very accurate and almost never lets his receivers down. KC is on an impressive 8-game win streak, having their last loss to the Titans in a late game situation, yet they owned them in the AFC Championship. They will be hard for the 49ers to stop and will make for interesting plays on the field. On the other side of the field, we have someone not quite as special as Mahomes; Jimmy Garoppolo.
Jimmy Garoppolo is not "responsible" for the 49ers success this year. If you look at it, the run game is why the 49ers are in the Super Bowl, where they have a rotation of 3-4 RBs. They are Tevin Coleman, Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert, and Jeff Wilson Jr. All of these RBs are definitely the reason for their success this year. They have put up outstanding rushing yards together this year, as well as rushing TDs. Here's a look at what these RBs have done. Just those four guys in the regular season, put up a total of 2,044 rushing yards and 19 TDs. This rushing core is strong and will not make it easy for KC to defend. However, the 49ers are very one-dimensional and running it play after play after play isn't going to win a title. If they are going to win it all, they are going to have to mix it up a little bit. Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't even have 4,000 passing yards for the regular season and only has 27 TDs. This is the QB that's going to lead them to a title? Most likely not. As I previously stated, the run game is essential to this 49ers offense and without it, they'd be an 8-8 or 9-7 team. On the other side of the equation we have the NFL's best defense on the 49ers. Will the two defenses be a big role in the big game? Let's take a look into to the defensive side of the game.
The Chiefs have definitely had a better defense this year than what they normally bring in. Chris Jones has made a big impact for this defense and he is active for the Super Bowl, so no big problems defensively for KC. They have allowed 32% of 3rd down attempts by offenses converted. That means 68% of the time, it goes to 4th down which usually means they get the ball back. So about 1 every 3 3rd downs (Statistically), an offense will convert to 1st down. Will the 49ers be able to execute against a defense like this? Possibly so, but they will have to utilize the passing game more than usual. Now lets take a look at the 49ers defense. Statistically, the 49ers have the best defense in the league and that will by far be KC's biggest challenge in the Super Bowl. They allow only 252.5 YPG and 15 PPG. They might be able to hold back the Chiefs from scoring as much as they usually are able to pull in. This may very well be a low scoring, defensive game just like Super Bowl LIII. They allow offenses to convert 3rd downs 24% of the time, which is an extremely low number, considering the amount of talent there is in the NFL. Both defenses are great this year and have definitely shown what it takes takes to get here, and we'll see how the defenses play against the opposing offense.
Both teams are phenomenal this year and by all means are deserving to be in Super Bowl LIV. With both teams hot heading into the big game, it'll be a fantastic matchup, but at the end of the day, the Chiefs will be the Super Bowl LIV Champions!

Do you absolutely LOVE getting unsolicited advice from people? Are you thrilled when people show off their wisdom without first understanding your needs? Does it impress you to no end when someone takes charge of the conversation without leaving room for discussion and collaboration?
When I was a young mom, I met an older — and certainly wiser — mom. Jean's children were grown; mine were all under the age of six. She had plenty of wisdom to share with me about raising kids, marriage and taking care of myself. She could have easily dumped all her advice on me, a less experienced wife and mom.
But she didn't. Instead, this dear woman treated me as if I were her equal. She displayed genuine curiosity about my thoughts and refrained from suggesting ways to better handle frustrations or implying that there were better ways to take care of my needs. She honored my opinions, cheered me on and let me forge my own path, only later asking what I learned along the way.
Today, Jean is 85 years young and I would no longer describe myself as a young mom, now that my boys have graduated from college and started careers in Denver, San Francisco and Boston. Whenever Jean and I talk these days, she continues to display the same empathy, respect, openness and encouragement. It just comes naturally to her.
I have read Gary's newsletters for years. His reporting, observations and open curiosity have always appealed to me. And I couldn't agree more with his assessment that strong, effective relationships — whether professional or personal — require these skills related to emotional intelligence.
In fact, the attributes he mentions define masterful coaching. They are qualities of someone who, regardless of relationship or rank, can respectfully and effectively engage with others. Certified and experienced coaches know how displaying these traits can make a powerful difference in the lives of their clients.
I hope to express these qualities in every relationship, every day. How about you? Who has shown up this way with and for you?
