News archive - New figures show record number of participants in Erasmus+
The European Commission published on January 26, 2017 new figures showing that the EU's education and training programme, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, is more successful and open than ever.
European Commission - Press release
In 2015, Erasmus+ enabled 678,000 Europeans to study, train, work and volunteer abroad, more than ever before. In the same year, the EU invested €2.1 billion in over 19,600 projects involving 69,000 organisations. These are the main findings of the Erasmus+ Annual Report for 2015 published by the European Commission today. Results also show that the programme is well on track to meet its target of supporting 4 million people between 2014 and 2020.
Jyrki Katainen, Vice-President responsible for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness, and former Erasmus student at the University of Leicester (UK) said: "Education is vital in equipping people with the knowledge, competences, skills and ability to make the most of their potential and of the opportunities open to them. Mobility broadens our horizons and strengthens us further. Erasmus can offer both. As a former Erasmus student, I have experienced this first hand. I encourage other students and in particular teachers, trainers, youth workers and vocational education and training students to also make use of the opportunities open to them under Erasmus+".
Tibor Navracsics, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, said: "Erasmus has been opening up opportunities to young people for three decades now, enabling them to develop vital skills, including social and intercultural skills, and promoting active citizenship. By connecting people and supporting them in working together, the programme plays a key role in empowering our youth to build a better society. This is the solidarity Europe needs, now more than ever. I want to ensure that Erasmus+ can support even more people from a wider range of backgrounds in the future".
In 2015, Erasmus+ expanded even further by enabling, for the first time, higher education institutions to send and receive more than 28,000 students and staff to and from countries beyond Europe. France, Germany and Spain remain three top sending countries, while Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom receive most of the Erasmus+ participants. Feedback from participants confirms that time spent abroad with Erasmus+ is time well spent: 94% say their skills have improved and 80% feel that it has boosted their career opportunities. One in three students who do traineeships abroad through Erasmus+ is offered a position by their host company.
Today's report also gives an overview of steps taken by the Commission to adapt Erasmus+ to help the EU and Member States tackle societal challenges, such as the integration of refugees and migrants. For instance, the programme's Online Linguistic Support system has been extended to benefit 100,000 refugees over the next three years; €4 million have been made available for this. The aim is to enable especially young people to enter the host countries' education systems and develop their skills.
The publication of the report coincides with the launchof the campaign marking the 30th anniversary of the Erasmus programme (called Erasmus+ since 2014 because it benefits more people through a wider range of opportunities). Events will take place throughout 2017 at European, national and local levels to highlight the positive impact of Erasmus both on individuals and society as a whole, and to give all those involved the opportunity to debate how the programme should evolve in the future. Over the past 30 years, Erasmus+ and its predecessors have supported not only more than 5 million students, apprentices and volunteers, but also staff and youth exchanges, amounting to 9 million people in total.
Erasmus is one of the most successful programmes of the European Union. For three decades, it has been offering in particular young people opportunities to gain new experiences and broaden their horizons by going abroad. What started as a modest mobility scheme for higher education students back in 1987, with only 3,200 students in its first year, has developed over the last 30 years into a flagship programme benefiting almost 300,000 higher education students per year. At the same time, the programme has become much broader, providing opportunities for study periods and traineeships/apprenticeships for both higher education and vocational education and training students, youth exchanges, volunteering and staff exchanges in all fields of education, training, youth and sport. Erasmus+ is also more open to people from disadvantaged backgrounds than any of its predecessors.
The geographical scope of the programme has expanded from 11 countries in 1987 to 33 currently (all 28 EU Member States as well as Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein).
The current Erasmus+ programme, running from 2014 to 2020, has a budget of €14.7 billion and will provide opportunities for over 4 million people to study, train, gain work experience and volunteer abroad. The programme also supports transnational partnerships between education, training and youth institutions as well as actions in the area of sport to contribute to developing its European dimension and tackle major cross-border threats. Moreover, the programme promotes teaching and research activities on European integration through Jean Monnet actions.
Throughout 2017 many events will be organised across Europe to celebrate the 30th anniversary including a flagship event at the European Parliament in June.

They are a very stable company, been around for a long time, they are flexible in excepting medical conditions, low price for guaranteed fixed-rate WL, decent line up of products, and competitive annuities in the right scenario.
I'm assuming you mean "accepting" not "excepting" of the heath conditions. The only product that AIG competes directly with Gerber on is their GI plans. They both accept ALL health conditions. They both are fixed-rate WL. Both companies are good. Gerber has an advantage at working with proper draft dates and keeping the business on the books easier. AIG has an advantage of 80% commission on new agents where Gerber is only 60%. I wouldn't say either one is an inferior product. Both are very useful.
Go ahead... Let's see it boss.
Trade secrets are property of FFL. The way that reads it could also include the client file, app and policy information. Also sounds like the agent can not convert a term policy. I assume these guys are vested day one like most of us.
Yeah they are vested. Though if you leave, your clients might get a call. I just brought on a Equis agency that told me about that happening. Granted their selling MP, so no renewals, but that's dirty pool.
These guys are big though. And they recruit a lot of greenhorns, as Newby said. They just don't know what they don't know.
But their CEO is a master in psychology. He basically took the Art Williams Primerica strategy of making the "trash value" insurance companies out to be the bad guy and applied it to IMOs. Hence the Rogue IMO nickname. "They're different. They're better than the rest. They're out for the little guy."
To be fair, outside of the forum, which is 99% of the industry, they're better than most.
But keep up the good work guys. They do get a lot of folks licensed and into the industry. The one's that don't fail out or get punch drunk on the koolaid eventually find the forums, my facebook group, youtube or one of our websites.
Yeah, I picked up the ALW PFS vibe early from these guys. They all say pretty much the same thing and use the same examples. Also like the ALW and PFS guys they really do not know what they do not know.
I hate seeing potentially good agents get burned.
Notice that In 2(A) the agent cannot say anything bad about none associated with FFL but then in 2 (E) the agent releases them from any responsibility for disparaging things they might say about the agent... Seems fair to me..
2 is so lopsided, you'd be a fool or desperate to sign it if you had any idea what it actually was saying.
So they don't have you sign a contract with 2 year restrictions going in but you have to sign one with 2 year restrictions going out and unlike most other contracts, it even restricts an agents speech as well as business practices. .. And, they have you over the barrel.. either sign it or no release.. Gee, what nice guys..
PHP, FFL, all these new breeds of MLM are a special kind of stupid lol.
I'm sure that is why Josh and Scott are telling these agents not to sign it and just sit out 6 months.
The way it reads, you would be violating the contract even if all you said on Facebook is "Man, I'm so happy to be free of FFL."

Fr. Groeschel Was Noted Evangelizer and Pro-Lifer
Father Groeschel
TOTOWA, N.J. (CNS) – Father Benedict J. Groeschel, who was a founder of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a leading pro-life figure and popular author, retreat master and preacher, died Oct. 3 at St. Joseph's Home for the elderly in Totowa after a long illness. He was 81.
For many years he was a regular on various TV programs on The NET, Booklyn's Catholic cable station, and its predecessor, The Prayer Channel.
"We are deeply saddened by the death of Father Benedict. He was an example to us all," said Father John Paul Ouellette, who is also a Franciscan friar and the order's community servant.
"His fidelity and service to the church and commitment to our Franciscan way of life will have a tremendous impact for generations to come," he said in a statement released Oct. 4 by the order's community office in the Bronx.
A wake was planned for Oct. 8 at St. Adalbert's Church in the Bronx, and Oct. 9, followed by an evening vigil at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, N.J.
A funeral Mass was scheduled Oct. 10 at Newark's cathedral basilica, followed by burial at Most Blessed Sacrament Friary in Newark. The burial will be private.
"The Catholic Church and the Franciscan family lost a giant today," said an Oct. 3 statement issued by Father Groeschel's community.
"Father Benedict was a brother and a father to everyone he encountered. In a world often overwhelmed with darkness, he was a man filled with hope, a hope that he shared with both the rich and poor alike," the statement said. "His love for others and deep desire to serve, sent him among poor families who were in need of assistance, young people trying to find their way, bishops faced with challenging decisions, priests and religious in need of an encouraging word, and the stranger who was far from God."
Over the past decade, despite his decline in health, Father Groeschel "continued to serve the church generously and with great fidelity," according to his community.
In January, 2004, Father Groeschel hovered near death after a car hit him in Orlando, Fla. After a yearlong recovery, he had to walk with a cane and experienced weakness in one arm. But he was able to resume his schedule.
In 2012, following a minor stroke and other health complications, he officially retired from public life and was welcomed by the Little Sisters of the Poor in Totowa. Daily visits of family and friends were the highlight of his days along with spending time in the chapel, concelebrating Mass and making his daily Holy Hour.
Father Groeschel had published a number of books on spirituality and pastoral counseling and founded the Trinity Retreat, a center for prayer and study for clergy. He taught at Fordham University, the Bronx; Iona College, New Rochelle, N.Y.; and Maryknoll Seminary, Ossining, N.Y.
At the time of his death, he was writing a memoir to be published by Our Sunday Visitor called "The Life of a Struggling Soul."
His outreach to the poor was legendary. For decades, he distributed food to hundreds of needy people in the South Bronx. His first assignment as a priest was as a Catholic chaplain at Children's Village in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., a residential facility for troubled children. After being there 14 years, he became founding director of Trinity Retreat in Larchmont, N.Y., a retreat house primarily for Catholic clergy and religious. He was there for 40 years.
He also was the founder of St. Francis House in Greenpoint for older adolescents. In 1985, he and Chris Bell founded Good Counsel Homes for young pregnant women in need.
In 1987, Father Groeschel and seven other friars left the Capuchins to form a new religious community, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, based in the South Bronx and dedicated to the service of the poor.

Condolences to Father Groeschel's community and family….I grew up in Caldwell ,N.J and attended school with his brother, Mark..Blessings for his life given in service to others.

(1) The I.W.W. - A Brief History
In the fall of 1904 eight men active in the revolutionary labor movement held a conference. After exchanging views and discussing the conditions then confronting the workers of the United States, they decided to issue a call for a larger gathering.
These eight workers were Isaac Cowen, American representative of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers of Great Britain, Clarence Smith, general secretary-treasurer of the American Labor Union, Thomas J. Hagerty, editor of the "Voice of Labor," official organ of the A.L.U., George Estes, president of the United Brotherhood of Railway Employes, W.L. Hall, general secretary-treasurer U.B.R.E., Charles O. Sherman, secretary of the United Metal Workers, Wm. E. Trautmann, editor of the "Brauer Zeitung" the official organ of the United Brewery Workers of America, and Eugene V. Debs, founder of the American Railway Union, the Socialist Party of America, and staunch believer in the concept of industrial unionism.
Invitations were then sent out to thirty-six additional individuals who were active in radical labor organizations and the socialist political movement of the United States, inviting them to meet in secret conference in Chicago, Illinois on January 2, 1905.
Of the thirty-six who received invitations, but two declined to attend the proposed conference--Max S. Hayes and Victor Berger--both of whom were in editorial charge of socialist political party and trade union organs.
The conference met at the appointed time with thirty present, and drew up the Industrial Union Manifesto calling for a convention to be held in Chicago, June 27, 1905, for the purpose of launching an organization in accord with the principles set forth in the Manifesto. The work of circulating the Manifesto was handled by an executive committee of the conference, the American Labor Union and the Western Federation of Miners.
The Manifesto was widely circulated in several languages.
On the date set the convention assembled with 186 delegates present from 34 state, district, national and local organizations representing about 90,000 members. All who were present as delegates were not there in good faith. Knowledge of this fact caused the signers of the Manifesto to constitute themselves a temporary committee on credentials.
This temporary credentials committee ruled that representation for organizations would be based upon the number of members in their respective organizations only where such delegates were empowered by their organizations to install said organizations as integral parts of the Industrial Union when formed. Where not so empowered delegates would only be allowed one vote.
One of the delegations present was from the Illinois State District of the United Mine Workers of America. The membership of that district at that time was in the neighborhood of 50,000. Under the above rule these delegates were seated with one vote each. This brings the number of members represented down to 40,000. Several other organizations that had delegates present existed mainly on paper; so it is safe to say that 40,000 is a good estimate of the number of workers represented in the first convention.
The foregoing figures will show that the precautions adopted by the signers of the Manifesto were all that prevented the opponents of the industrial union from capturing the convention and blocking any effort to start the organization. It is a fact that many of those who were present as delegates on the floor of the first convention and the organizations that they represented have bitterly fought the I. W. W. from the close of the first convention up to the present day.
The organizations that installed as a part of the new organization were: Western Federation of Miners, 27,000 members; Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance, 1,450 members; Punch Press Operators, 168 members; United Metal Workers, 3,000 members; Longshoremen's Union, 400 members; the American Labor Union, 16,500 members; United Brotherhood of Railway Employees, 2,087 members.*

[*] Membership claims for the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance, United Metal Workers, and the American Labor Union existed almost wholly on paper.

Brainless Embryos Suggest Bioelectricity Guides Growth (quantamagazine.org)

maxander on Mar 15, 2018
Everything in biological systems depends on everything else; all variables are global, all methods are public, and all definitions are recursive. It's all spaghetti code- there is nothing like the separation of functionality that we impose on our designed artefacts for the sake of our limited minds. A signal needed to be sent from one place to another, and the brain has the machinery for endocrine functions already, so why not have it handle it? So while this is a quite valid and interesting result, it's not nearly as exciting as the popular press is going to make it out to be.
jessaustin on Mar 15, 2018
I appreciate the code architecture observations, but this result is exciting as hell. I am fascinated by ontogeny. Who knows? A century from now, lots of currently unimaginable things could be traced back to this.
chopin on Mar 15, 2018
It's like slapping new functionality onto the existing codebase where it fits. Selection then is your test suite. You slap on until your tests are all green.

> "Where does shape come from? What makes an elephant different from a snake?" he asked. DNA can make proteins inside cells, he said, but "there is nothing in the genome that directly specifies anatomy." To develop properly, he maintains, tissues need spatial cues that must come from other sources in the embryo. At least some of that guidance, he and his team believe, is electrical.
I don't get it. Where does that electrical guidance came from? The brain. Where did the brain came from? The DNA.
If DNA is the ony information that makes it from a parent to offspring (and we can grow organisms in a petri dish from fertilized eggs) is the DNA, then whatever electrical guidance or other abstraction must have been encoded in the DNA first. (Plus some constants encoded in the enviroment.)
titzer on Mar 15, 2018
> If DNA is the ony information that makes it from a parent to offspring
I don't think this assumption is warranted. Human embryos develop in utero, not in eggs like amphibians. They are connected to the mother through an umbilical and immersed in amniotic fluid. Both the umbilical and the amniotic fluid are full of chemical signals in many forms, not just hormones. Human embryos (and all mammals, really) develop in symbiosis with their mother.
What you are saying is another one of these CS-centric views of the world that only focus on where the information for development comes from; that the development of the brain is somehow encoded in DNA, and that the entire development of a human is therefore also encoded in the DNA.
I've come to doubt this view, not only because of mammal development, but the fact that immune systems and digestion (the microbiome of the GI) develops in response to the available biodiversity of food and encountered pathogens.
So the view that we just put the little DNA program in a dish and feed it raw materials and energy and out pops a fully-formed human is just false.
Humans develop in cooperation with, and in response to, the environment.
It's a bit like staring at the code of a machine learning model and expecting to figure out how it works. The system (a human) contains a lot of code (DNA) but also responds to data (training set)--much more so than we ever realized.
> It's a bit like staring at the code of a machine learning model and expecting to figure out how it works. The system (a human) contains a lot of code (DNA) but also responds to data (training set)--much more so than we ever realized.
Or like a Smalltalk programming environment, which consists of an image with live, editable objects, not just a static text program.
pygy_ on Mar 15, 2018
One should not overemphasize the environment either, especially for the early development that's discussed in the article (embriogenesis). Cognition, immutinity and the microbiome become relevant much later.
A neighbor comment mentions the shape of the uterus, but AFAIK this only matters in later stages of development (extrauterine pregnancies happen, and are quite deadly unless aborted since most tissues are not meant to be invaded by the placenta).
Some of the non-electric signals are given by gradients of expression of the Homeobox genes.
There is also a process of mutual differentiation where neighbouring tissues cause each other to differentiate. For example, holoprosencephaly happens when the brain fails to (fully) develop into two hemispheres.
The most severe cases results in the formation of a single eye that in turn induces gross face deformity (Cyclopia, with a nose stub above the single eye).
The mildest cases result mostly in normal people with a lack of smell and a single top central incisor.

I've been told that the geometry of the womb influences this in humans, I don't know how true that is.

Everything old is new again. Early 20th-century biologists were exploring the role of fields in the development of embryos. This line of inquiry was snuffed out when DNA came along. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphogenetic_field#Historical...
> The rationale [...] was that "since DNA is what is inherited, information stored in the genes must specify all that is needed to develop."
> The extreme form of this view is "to explain everything by saying 'it is in the genes,' or DNA, and this trend has been reinforced by the increasingly powerful and affordable DNA sequencing technologies," Huang said. "But we need to zoom out: Before molecular biology imposed our myopic tunnel vision, biologists were much more open to organism-level principles."
> The tide now seems to be turning, according to Herrera-Rincon and others. "It's too simplistic to consider the genome as the only source of biological information," she said.
(emphasis added)
If genes are all-powerful, there is no hope for those who begin to deteriorate. But if our bio-electric fields are more important than our genes, there is much greater possibility for improving our health than the geneticists have led us to believe.
daemonk on Mar 15, 2018
I think any sane biologist will agree that there are layers upon layers of complexity on top of genotype. But the first layer is still DNA. There is a difference between gene-centric and gene-only. The former gives biologist an anchor point to begin their research, the latter is ridiculous.
> But the first layer is still DNA.
This would be one hypothesis. The article is about how the competing field of inquiry ("bioelectricity") has been mistakenly ignored for the past 60+ years.
What if the field is more important than the genes?
Your idea of "morphogenetic fields" is fundamentally incorrect; re-read the wikipedia article you linked to, the word "electricity" doesn't appear in it at all. It's talking about "fields" of chemical gradients which control the development of tissues; that kind of idea has been established developmental biology for over a century.
Meanwhile, in terms of the parent article, yes- it turns out that "bioelectricity" is an important part of the embryonic development. But this is not at all serving the same role as DNA; DNA stores durable information, whereas these fields are being used for, essentially, intercellular communication. I would think that the fact that the researchers successfully replace a frog's entire brain, for developmental purposes, with a simple tweak to an ion channel, pretty clearly demonstrates that the amount of vital information being carried this way is minimal.
Para2016 on Mar 15, 2018
Nice. I assumed NGF interactions with other developmental signalers like SHH, BMP, etc was the mechanism of action in this anyways.
It's been a while since I was in a devo lab, but I've watched a few presentations regarding wound healing and denervation such as seen in paraplegics with sacral ulcers. The hypothesis was that the nerves were gone and therefore NGF and other trophic factors were gone leading to impaired healing. I'm assuming healing and development are nearly synonymous in some tissues. Like you said, it's not the electrical signals that necessarily matter that much, it's the chemicals produced by the nerves.
The point I was trying to make is that there is no "more" or "less" important. There are just multiple layers of complexity that are all required to form the end result. DNA being the first layer just means the information that sets up the environment for bioelectric/epigenetic/whatever mechanisms still originates from DNA. Is it possible that there is some kind of mysterious force/particle that creates DNA? Anything is possible I guess. But that just seems like anomaly hunting at this point.
The discussion of what layer we should concentrate our research on has been going on for a long time actually. I remember reading some passionate arguments a decade or so ago about how we should concentrate on cells as the basic unit of biology.
hashin on Mar 15, 2018
I agree. Epigenetic studies hold the key to making reasonable interventions into genetic conditions.
While genetic screening is desirable, it is going to take a long while before we can have it on a species level. But if we can develop chemo-electric interventions that can alter the progression of genetic conditions, that would be a fresh change in the field, impacting many lives.
As we hit the physical limitations of interventions based on central dogma(which is still years away), we will have to look elsewhere, with an emphasis on the temporal progression of gene expression with respect to different variables. This is going to be difficult, but I can hopeful that some controlled processes might turn out in the future - given our data processing abilities.
russdill on Mar 15, 2018
This sounds equivalent to saying, "Ha, it wasn't DNA that governs proteins in cells, it was RNA all along". Chemical gradients, ion gradients, morphogens, etc, may all play super important indepensible roles in embryo development, but those things in turn are still driven by genes.
EamonnMR on Mar 15, 2018
> there is nothing in the genome that directly specifies anatomy
What about HOX genes?

Don't homeotic genes* explain anatomical development pretty well?

For anyone interested in this subject, I highly suggest Life Unfolding: How the human body creates itself[1], by Jamie Davies. No one really knows the full story, but what we do know or suspect is pretty amazing.

There are some interesting studies by Michael Levine at Tufts that looks at bioelectric field's effect on flatworm regeneration. And there are some cool experiments done in salamanders that looks at nerve dependent regeneration (aneurogenic limb).
objdodo on Mar 15, 2018
Is it possible that some forms of cancer may be a result of something going wrong with bioelectric signaling, causing abnormal tissue growth?
I think cancers are always associated with a genetic mutation within the cancerous cells. But that break down occurs due to damage or a failure in repair mechanisms. The plausible causes for either are legion. There's a lot of woo out there though with the words bio and electrical combined, heck Brent Farve is even hyping it in late night infomercials.

i wonder if this is true for neurons in the brain as well.

Highly likely. Some years ago I listened to a lecture by a woman who was researching electrical waves in the retina (which is in practice a specialized extension of the brain). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_waves

Totally off topic, but maybe the machines in the Matrix needed human brains to solve a proof-of-work puzzle that was more efficiently computed with a human neurocortex. Morpheus just used a battery because it would have taken too long to explain blockchains and ICO's to Neo.
mortenjorck on Mar 15, 2018
I'm not generally one for the concept of "head-canon," but I think this is now my head-canon for The Matrix.
You see, the Matrix itself is the proof-of-work puzzle, formatted for compatibility with the neocortex. The simulation of a circa-1999 metropolis is not just something to keep the humans' brains occupied while they power the machines; its very substance is a cryptographic hashing process in the form of a simulated world, which also explains why everyone has to be in the same Matrix rather than instanced versions. Agent Smith's real job was just to prevent 51% attacks!
boxfire on Mar 15, 2018
This might work but then what is Neo's power?
inteleng on Mar 15, 2018
ASICBOOST?
chc on Mar 15, 2018
That's actually sort of what the original story was. I mean, no blockchains, but the battery thing was introduced because the studio didn't like the idea of humans as CPUs.

A "must shop" for great selection...and even better service!
For years i have been travelling from Northern British Columbia (I am talking Alaska Highway) to Sarnia Ontario to shop at Zacks. The selection is terrific, but the service provided by Carol and her staff takes all of the pain out of clothes shopping. Carol always manages to make our shopping expedition fun as well as successful! Thanks Carol and fellow staff.
We have 25 Zacks locations with hours of operation and phone number.

MOOCs have gone from a distant idea to a global phenomenon in less than five years. During this period MOOCs have innovated at a dazzling speed in content creation, delivery, feedback, testing and other aspects of the knowledge delivery process. The excitement of MOOCs has been the promise of learning at scale. As a result, the primary focus of the design of MOOCs to date has been on "scale". We believe it is now time to focus our attention on the design for learning.
This workshop brings together the educators, technologists, researchers, learning scientists, entrepreneurs, and funders of MOOCs to share their innovations, discuss the impact on education and to answer questions such as: How to best support students to learn in an online environment? How can MOOCs be successfully integrated with the traditional classroom experience? For which students and in what contexts are these courses most effective? What can we learn from the rich data streams generated by these platforms? How do we structure the learning activities to produce data streams that better support research?
PACIFIC GROVE, Calif., June 16, 2014--A group of educators, scientists, and legal/ethical scholars has issued an ethical framework to inform appropriate use of data and technology in learning research for higher education.
A convening at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on June 1-4 included over 50 participants from 26 US academic organizations, including large research universities, broad-access institutions, religiously affiliated schools and liberal arts colleges. Officials from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (PCAST) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) also attended as observers.
The purpose of the convening was to specify the ethical challenges and obligations that accompany research on higher learning in the era of big data. It was modeled after a 1975 event at the same site, during which 140 biologists, lawyers and physicians met to write voluntary guidelines for ensuring the safety of recombinant DNA technology. Another precedent was a 1976 meeting at the Belmont Conference Center in Elkridge, Maryland, which produced a document informing ethical considerations of research with human subjects.
Deliberations at this month's Asilomar convening were guided by the Chatham House Rule.
"Our goal was to develop first principles for doing science and sharing innovations at a pivotal moment in higher education history," said Mitchell Stevens, Associate Professor of Education and Director of Digital Research and Planning at Stanford, who organized the convention with Susan S. Silbey, the Leon and Anne Goldberg Professor of Humanities and Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at MIT. "We want to apply the highest ethical standards of prior generations in ways that facilitate the timely improvement of higher education while preserving the ethical integrity of learners in this new world of ubiquitous data." Silbey added, "We are learning from the past and from our shared norms for creating knowledge to build new knowledge for the future."
The document also outlines six principles to inform decisions about data use and knowledge sharing in the field: Respect for the rights and dignity of learners; beneficence; justice; openness; the humanity of learning; and continuous consideration of the ethical dimensions of learning research.
Full text of the convention is available at asilomar-highered.info.
Surfing the Tsunami: Innovation on Technology and Learning.
On behalf of Candace Thille, Dawn Zimmaro, Director of Learning Design and Assessment, gave a keynote presentation at the MOOC Research Initiative Conference 2013, entitled Surfing the Tsunami: Innovation in Technology and Learning. Dr. Zimmaro's keynote presentation focused on the Open Learning Initiative's decade of research and development in creating open online learning environments based on the integration of technology and the science of learning with teaching. She discussed how the OLI principles of learning outcome driven design, goal-directed practice and targeted feedback, and cognitive tutoring can be used to inform the next evolution of MOOC course designs. Additionally, Dr. Zimmaro identified one of the biggest challenges facing in higher education: determining how to leverage technology to create authentic assessments at scale that simultaneously can support personalized learning experiences.

I suffer from very dry skin all year round but like most people it's a little worse as the weather gets colder. These are the four body lotions / butters I have been using.
I am sad to say this scent has been discontinued but Nip & Fab have released lots of new scents that sound amazing. This Mango one smells fresh and fruity. Its a thick orange butter that takes some massaging in but its worth the effort as this leaves my skin silky smooth, smelling fresh and keeps it hydrated.
I have quite a few wobbly bits so not too sure how well this is firming me up but I don't ever think a cream can do too much in that department. I think exercise is the only true way of toning. But this lotion is good for keeping my skin feeling smooth and isn't as thick as the body butters. It is easy to apply but takes some time to sink in, it has a light floral scent but nothing overpowering. I wouldn't apply this in the morning or you will be left feeling a little sticky. I do like this lotion but not sure it is at the top of my list to re purchase.
Always a firm favourite for lots of people, you get a hefty pot and this stuff seems to last me a very long time. Its good for slapping all over the body and I love using it when I have shaved my legs. I am sure you know it smells lovely and sweet. These tubs make lovely Christmas gifts and I always have one or two under the tree each year.
By far the best body lotion I have ever used. Big claims! It is true, I love love love the packaging. The pump makes it easy to use & hygienic. The lotion is quite thin and absorbs quickly, it is hydrating and can I just take a moment to tell you how incredible it smells. It's Fig scent is so luxurious and grown up, i am obsessed with it. I can smell it on my skin throughout the day & I keep meaning to buy the body spray they sell in this same scent. I am excited at the mere thought of owning that. If you get a chance to visit the & Other Stories Store in London then you must smell this Fig range! Adore this lotion – that is all.

What is a crown or Onlay?
A crown is a bespoke custom-made restoration made by our skilled technician at Design Ceramic laboratory which surrounds and covers most surfaces of a tooth. Crowns can be constructed in different materials, depending on the options available for the tooth or teeth in question. Examples include, ceramics, zirconia, metals and gold.
Aesthetic crowns are made with high precision to simulate the natural contour of a healthy tooth. Our experienced lab technician has the ability to add various details into the surface to match its shape and shade to the surrounding teeth. We can arrange a visit by the lab technician to meet you in order record these details and provide you with a final crown that has a more personal and natural finish.
The same principal applies to onlay or inlay which is a partial coverage of the tooth.
Crowns are required when there is insufficient tooth tissue remaining to support a conventional filling and may be placed to protect cracked teeth against future risk of damage and needing extraction. Crowns have been clinically proven to be more long-lasting than fillings when a tooth is heavily broken down or has been previously root-filled.
There may also be aesthetic reasons for placement of crowns, such as covering and improving appearance of discolored or teeth affected by trauma. They are also used to restore dental implants, which have been placed in the jaw.
In order to treat damaged teeth, it is necessary to modify the existing tooth/teeth so that crowns may be placed upon them. Tooth preparation must be done as conservatively as practical. In preparation of teeth, anesthetics are usually needed. A highly detailed, accurate digital scan of full mouth and crown preparation is captured with our state of art Trios scanner and sent within minutes to our technician.
Depending on types of restoration and prosthesis being made such as inlays and onlays (partial coverage of the teeth) or full crown, a temporary crown is made to cover the tooth in the interim whilst the final crown or restoration is made. Sometimes temporary crowns are used for several weeks in order to stabilize the teeth and gums and allow healing before the finished product is created and fitted.
When the final restoration is ready to be fitted, the temporary crown is removed, and preparation is cleaned. The bite and accuracy of fit is checked and when you and your dentist are happy, the final crown, inlay or onlay is fitted with the aid of a very strong bond.
A dental bridge is made of multiple crown units connected, that can be used to replace one or more missing teeth . Gaps in the mouth brought on by removal of unrestorable or infected tooth, can result in movement of the neighbouring teeth and eventually cause uneven bite, fractures and jaw problems. A bridge spans in the distance where teeth are missing and is anchored to one or more teeth adjacent to the gap. They can also be anchored to dental implants. Naturally the teeth that hold the bridge in place must be healthy and free of infection. The procedure and treatment for construction of a bridge is similar to that of construction of crowns.
What's the difference between a bridge, implant?
A dental bridge anchored to natural teeth is NOT the most conservative treatment of choice for replacing a missing tooth. Because to construct a bridge, healthy teeth on either side of the gap must be prepared and trimmed to make space for crowns holding the bridge in place. A dental implant is however independent of the neighbouring teeth and a much more conservative approach.
The tooth which is prepared for a crown may be sensitive for a period of time, even after the final cementation. This may last only for a short period of time or may last for much longer periods. Majority of cases will settle down within a few weeks and require no additional treatment.
How does the crown feel in my mouth?
When the crown is tried in, it may feel different or strange. This may occur because of the differences between natural teeth and the artificial replacements. Most patients usually become accustomed to this feeling in a short time.
I have a dark line around an old crown, can you correct it?
Dark lines at the gum line may appear on crowns if the gum recedes after placement. This can be corrected with a new crown or bridge and technicians can block dark stains from shining through.
Can I choose the colour of my crown?
You will have the opportunity to choose a colour for the crown and can examine it prior to the final cementation.
The longevity of the treatment undertaken is directly related to the pre-existing oral condition. Its success is also dependent on good oral hygiene maintenance at home and also frequent trips to the hygienist. Smoking, systemic disease, poor diet and clenching and grinding habits can also adversely affect treatment and other teeth and structures within the mouth.
Like natural teeth, crowns and bridges need to be kept clean with meticulous oral hygiene and periodic professional cleaning, otherwise decay may develop underneath or around the margins of the restoration, leading to further dental treatment and possible replacement of the crown(s).


It isn't, if you ask the dealer who sells the parts, they should give you the right info, it's that simple.
She'll be at DucPond until next week i'd say so stop on by over there and check lol.
they are not made for the panigale alone. i have the mirrors so what are you talking about. you have to buy adaptors. they can fit any bike with the correct adaptor. second the parts from pj do not fit these mirrors. if you order the correct part number its a female clip. the wire coming off the bike is a female so it will not work. the other part number doesnt make a perfect match. i called pj and he tested it with me on the phone. i think i am right as i have the mirrors and i installed them on the bike. ask cali he knows and he showed me the way.
this is also a fact. 2 panis can have 2 different electrical connectors. just cut the stock mirrors off solder it on takes 2 min. you can hide the wires without removing the front cowl.
if you go on the other thread cali tells you how to install these step by step. very easy to follow. if i can do it anyone can.
look at my post # 26 explains the connectors and a few before that i tried it all before i cut the stock connectors off the stock mirrors.
I prefer to learn with my hands and not by reading. I am also a fan of doing it the hard way and reinventing the wheel.
Hows that working for you????
But without this forum or Internet, you would have held them up next to the OEMs, and said WTF?

Frank Underwood is 'the leader America deserves' in House of Cards Season 4 trailer
By Parker Hall	 January 11, 2016
Netflix has released the powerful first trailer for House of Cards season 4, which shows President Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) giving a campaign-style speech, with cut scenes of his past atrocities periodically interrupting a shot of him sitting at his resolute desk.
"They say we get the leaders we deserve," the President can be heard saying during the minute-long video, "I think America deserves Frank Underwood," he says, smirking, while cut scenes of his murderous history play, "And in your heart," he continues insidiously, "you know I'm right."
A follow up to a fake political trailer Netflix released during a real GOP debate on CNN, the video does well to showcase the two-faced nature of the main character's personality, where narcissistic political ambitions are more important than the greater good of the nation as a whole.
House of Cards was originally based off of a BBC-produced miniseries of the same name, becoming the first series to hit for the streaming service in 2013, and is still among Netflix's most popular original series.
As seen the the trailer, Kevin Spacey returns once again to star as President Frank Underwood, with actress Robin Wright also returning to play his wife, Claire. Both lead actors have previously won Golden Globes for their performances on the series.
In addition to the two main characters, actress Neve Campbell has joined the cast this year and is rumored to be playing a rival to the Underwood clan, although there has yet to be a formal announcement as to her character's specific role.
Whether or not that means Campbell will be a force for good, or an opposing force for evil remains to be seen.
The new season of the critically-acclaimed political drama will premiere on the streaming video service on Thursday, March 3, with all episodes available for binge-watching simultaneously, in typical Netflix fashion.

LG smart TVs to get Stadia cloud gaming in late 2021
LG Electronics (LG) announced a planned partnership with Google to bring Stadia to its latest webOS smart TVs in the second half of this year. After Stadia comes to Google TV, LG will be the first TV manufacturer to natively support Stadia gameplay via webOS.
LG is demonstrating its commitment to supporting premium gaming on its state-of-the-art displays, made even more compelling with support for 4k and 5.1 surround sound for Stadia Pro users. Stadia on LG TVs will allow customers to instantly play hit Stadia games such as Cyberpunk 2077, NBA 2K21, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion with just a Stadia controller and no additional hardware or game downloads required.
LG plans to have the new service launched within the second half of 2021 on LG Smart TVs as a downloadable app from the LG Content Store in countries where Stadia is available. Stadia already offers more than 130 games with more being added regularly. Games can be purchased individually or gamers can claim a regular cadence of games to be played for free with a subscription to Stadia Pro, which includes exclusive discounts and up to 4K resolution. Exhilarating gaming with immersive 5.1 channel surround sound and support for up to 4K HDR and 60 FPS makes the Stadia platform a compelling choice for anyone looking for a great gaming experience without the need for an expensive, dedicated gaming console.
And when it comes to gaming, it's hard to beat the advanced combination of Stadia and LG OLED TVs. LG OLED's self-lighting pixels ensure best-in-class HDR picture quality with deep blacks and extremely accurate colors. LG became the first company to launch HDR-capable 4K OLED TVs in 2015 and content on LG OLED TVs – both streaming and externally stored – benefit from the display's fast 1ms response time, outstandingly low input lag without experiencing any loss in picture quality.
"Supporting Stadia on LG TVs is our commitment to customers that gaming is an increasingly important feature expected by LG TV owners," said Lee Sang-woo, senior vice president of corporate business strategy at LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "Stadia is changing how people access their favorite games and by providing webOS compatibility, we're making an early commitment to the platform."

When we told the kids that we were having a boy after our 20 week ultrasound, all the kids were excited and surprised, except for Connor who seemed to just "know" :) He has been such a sweet boy this whole pregnancy, he would come up to my tummy and ask, "is my baby brother sleeping? can he hear me?" Then he would talk to him in a high pitched voice, telling him he loved him, telling him he was going to play with him. He would often hug and kiss my tummy to make sure his brother knew him when he comes out.
I can remember wishing my mom would have another baby when I was little, and feeling that longing in my heart to have someone littler than me to bond with and play with. Throughout this pregnancy I've been reminded of that feeling when I was little, and I can see that same yearning in my little Connor, wanting a baby brother so badly, it's just precious.
This name "Jack" though didn't begin with just Connor, our older boys wanted to name just about all of our children Jack and we've always discarded the idea. Until this pregnancy, when we found out we were indeed having a boy both Chris and I felt like Jack just fit this time. Jack means "God is gracious". This pregnancy was a pretty challenging one for me, as well as the labor and delivery. I've often thought in my heart, "I don't know how much more I can take", and then God would remind me of what Jack's name meant, "God is gracious." And I would reach out to Him and find the sufficient grace of God to sustain me through another trying season of the pregnancy. I think that our little Jack is indeed a gift of God's grace to our family. I look at him and am in awe of the love that wells up in my heart for this little person. After I delivered him and he was laying there naked on my tummy I heard myself saying to him, "I love you Jack!" Here is a child we have never met before and yet we love him, through the grace of God our hearts grow bigger with each child that is placed in our arms. I used to worry back when I only had one child, that I wouldn't have enough love for a lot of children. Now I know that love is a gift from the God of love, and our hearts are truly full today!
It brings me so much joy to see our children holding and loving on their new baby brother, their hearts have stretched again as well to fit another sweet sibling to care for and watch grow. All the kids were so thrilled when we told them the name, "Jack Austin" (Austin is a family surname on Chris' grandparent's side, and it means "great and magnificent"). I think it was Aidan that said, "I thought we would never get a Jack!" And we are so glad that our Jack is finally here!!

So sweet, Jenni! I remember thinking with my first that there was nothing sweeter than gazing at the baby I adored. Then the second came and I found something even better – watching the baby you adore gaze at the other baby you adore!
Oh how sweet! I can't wait to meet this boy!

En peinture, le mot , terme hybride provenant de l'allemand, désigne les figures humaines et animales d'une scène, en particulier dans les paysages, qui ne sont pas le sujet principal de l'œuvre.

Origine et définition
Avant l'adoption de ce mot dans les arts visuels entre la fin du  et le début du ,  était utilisé dans la langue allemande pour désigner les accessoires ou les objets décoratifs : il vient du mot allemand  (décorer) et du suffixe français « -age ». August Demmin le définit ainsi :

Le mot peut avoir deux acceptions :
 comme terme général pour désigner toute figure dans une œuvre, même si elles sont, au moins ostensiblement, le sujet principal ;
 comme terme descriptif pour les figures sans identité ni histoire spécifique, qui sont à peine incluses pour des raisons décoratives ou de composition. Ici, le staffage est les accessoires de la scène, quoiqu'il ajoute de la vie à l'œuvre ; il peut ajouter de la profondeur à la peinture, renforcer le sujet principal et aider à donner une échelle claire des éléments de la composition.

Les figures de staffage de ce second sens sont toujours anonymes et doivent être distinguées des autres figures identifiées, également utilisées dans des paysages, pourtant le plus souvent exécutées avec les mêmes techniques et proportions. Cependant, quand des figures mythologiques ou bibliques sont utilisées au lieu de bergers et de soldats anonymes, par exemple, le staffage a l'effet, selon la contemporaine théorie de la hiérarchie des genres, de transformer une peinture de paysage en une peinture plus prestigieuse, et souvent de plus grande valeur : la peinture d'histoire — et ceci même quand les figures sont petites au milieu de larges paysages. Ces peintures sont souvent intitulées sous la forme Paysage avec... ou Paysage classique avec... en détaillant le staffage ou en mettant tout simplement le mot « staffage ».

Le staffage doit être distingué des figures de personnage dans la peinture de genre, qui sont également anonymes et représentent typiquement des personnes communes, mais sont invariablement le sujet principal de la peinture.

Utilisation
Pendant la période baroque, des peintres tels que Nicolas Poussin et Le Lorrain utilisaient régulièrement le staffage. Des spécialistes du paysage collaboraient avec d'autres peintres plus à même de peindre des figures humaines afin qu'ils réalisent le staffage de leurs toiles.

Certains artistes avaient dessiné leurs propres modèles afin de les réutiliser à plusieurs reprises, et on peut voir des personnages identiques d'une peinture à l'autre d'un même artiste ; parfois même, ces modèles étaient prêtés entre artistes. Au , des livres circulaient avec des modèles de centaines de différentes figures de staffage destinées aux peintres afin qu'ils les « coupent et les collent » dans leurs compositions.
