and felt like an easy way to subvert the dry Cape Cod conservatism that I was brought up in I somewhat regret getting so many of them now they dilute the clarity of detail in the muscle mass that I didn’t have yet when I got most of them but there’s no sense in feeling remorse about permanent ink on the skin The trouble with getting tattoos absent a solid base of knowledge is that tattoos aren’t abstract painting; there is a fixed set of imagery that has been shown over time to work and skulls will always look better than some more personalized piece of imagery I didn’t know that I should just get the damn eagle and instead turned to my teenage fascinations as potential tattoo topics and post-punk bands like The Fall and The Birthday Party a man now globally famous after his four decades long solo career CHIPPEWA COUNTY — The Michigan Court of Appeals has affirmed the convictions and sentence of a Chippewa County man serving life in prison for second-degree murder.  Jeremy Lehre, 22, was convicted by a jury of second-degree murder in the November 2017 death of Wesley Cook. Lehre was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in February 2019 in Chippewa County 50th Circuit Court for the second-degree murder charge.  The jury also convicted Lehre of tampering with evidence, larceny of a building and and second-degree home invasion The jury found Lehre not guilty of first-degree murder Lehre appealed his convictions and sentences mostly arguing his attorney should have admitted evidence of his limited intellectual capacity to explain his confused statements to police after the murder.  The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed Lehre’s convictions and sentences in an unpublished opinion issued June 24.  Lehre’s defense attorney sought to admit evidence from a medical doctor stating he intended to show Lehre had a “limited intellectual capacity,” according to the opinion The court assumed counsel wanted to introduce evidence of a “diminished capacity” and refused to allow testimony from the doctor A few weeks after trial, Lehre’s defense attorney was dismissed due to “a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship,” according to the opinion A motion for a new trial was denied.  The appeals court ruled Lehre failed to show a reasonable probability that the outcome of the trial would have been different had the doctor testified The court also stated there was “strong evidence” provided that Lehre assaulted and murdered Cook.  The Court of Appeals also stated both the circuit court and Lehre’s attorney advised him of his right to testify and that the record is silent as to why he chose to testify.   The appeals court also ruled Lehre’s argument that the circuit court committed evidentiary error when it refused to admit evidence of his limited intellectual capacity was meritless. The court ruled Lehre didn’t show it’s more probable than not that the error would affect the outcome of the trial.   Lehre is incarcerated at Michigan Reformatory in Ionia, according to the Department of Corrections Offender Tracking Information System (OTIS) Aaron Lehre, cousin of Jeremy Lehre, was sentenced to 75 months in prison in December 2018 for second-degree home invasion and accessory after the fact for his involvement in the incident — Contact reporter Evan Sasiela at esasiela@sentinel-standard.com.

Two men charged with murder in Sault Ste Marie men are officially charged with murder following the death of 48-year-old Wesley Douglas Cook Police were called to the 200 block of West 12th Avenue at 3:02 a.m was rushed to the hospital and died several hours later was charged Thursday with: Homicide - open murder malicious destruction of property over $1,000 less than $20,000 larceny from a building.Jeremey Lehre will be back in court for a Probable Cause Conference on November 13 and a Preliminary Hearing on November 20 police officer assault /resisting/obstruct.Aaron Lehre's next court date has not yet been set interdisciplinarity and innovation in teaching and learning were the core themes of this year’s Tag der Lehre Vice President Education and Student Affairs opened her speech in the main lecture hall with the topic of AI: “It has now developed to such a point that it can pass exams and write decent texts.”  As a house of knowledge the University of Zurich must teach students how to handle these new technologies and should facilitate exchange and discussion about artificial intelligence “We want to create knowledge for all and to shape teaching in such a way that there are no barriers preventing people from benefiting from it,” said Siegert “Topics such as ensuring lectures are accessible and digital teaching materials are available are just as important as recognizing the diversity of the people who teach research and study at our university.” mutually inspiring exchanges and lively discussions opportunities to talk and exchange ideas about current hot topics were plentiful whether at the exhibition of innovative teaching projects in the Lichthof one of the five workshops offered for teaching staff at the networking lunch or at the closing reception in the Lichthof We report below on just two of the many workshops on offer in the densely packed and varied program of Tag der Lehre In the workshop titled “AI: Good Practices at UZH” led by Carina Klein of the Educational Development Office UZH teaching staff from various disciplines provided insights into possible scenarios in which AI could be used in teaching “During the last year it has come to our attention that teaching staff are increasingly interested in finding out how they can usefully integrate generative AI tools into their courses and hearing from other instructors about their experiences with using them,” says Klein explaining why she chose to run such a workshop five instructors gave brief presentations of their ideas such as integrating ChatGPT into teaching in an educationally useful way for example by including answers from the tool in classroom discussions and critically reflecting on the AI responses students get to discuss the subject and apply what they have learned and at the same time become familiar with how the tool works and with its strengths and weaknesses The speakers all agreed on one point: an important reason for addressing generative AI in class is to teach students how to use these tools competently and with awareness of the drawbacks Other discussion issues raised in response to the short presentations included course planning using AI and the use of artificial intelligence in the academic writing process. To conclude, Carina Klein introduced the workshop participants to the Teaching Tools platform educational methods and further support on the topic of AI use in teaching All the papers from the workshop have also been published on the platform (https://teachingtools.uzh.ch/en/good-practice/ki-good-practices-an-der-uzh) “This means all teaching staff who were not able to attend Tag der Lehre can read up on the topics and get inspiration for their own courses,” said Klein Another workshop offered by the Educational Development Office focused on ideas and approaches for teaching heterogeneous groups of students especially as found in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary courses Workshop leaders Hannah Lora Freeman from the Innovation and Digital Education team and Eleni Spiroudis of the School for Transdisciplinary Studies began by asking participants to share their own experiences the importance of clearly emphasizing the goal of interdisciplinary teaching at the beginning of the course became clear: by bringing together students and teaching staff from different disciplines it becomes possible to look at academic questions or real-world challenges from different perspectives and with the inclusion of knowledge from society The workshop participants were also in agreement that students in interdisciplinary courses should be given enough time to find out which subject areas their fellow students came from “Learning from each other is explicitly encouraged,” says Hannah Freeman Another issue that came up in workshop was how challenging it is for instructors of interdisciplinary courses to design an appropriate assessment Students are used to different forms of assessment depending on which subject areas they come from “For experienced students from the humanities the idea of writing an essay at the end of a seminar is not a big surprise while for students from the natural sciences essay writing is not a form of assessment that they know and have practice in,” explains Eleni Spiroudis It is therefore important that instructors communicate their expectations for the assessment early and clearly and if necessary offer practice sessions and provide best-practice examples Even though dealing with heterogenous groups in interdisciplinary courses brings particular challenges the workshop participants unanimously agreed that they also offered great opportunities for all involved: inter- and transdisciplinary teaching stimulates critical thinking opens up new possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration and widens one’s own professional horizons a spotlight was shone on the winners of the semester awards and the Faculty of Law’s Orelli awards as well as on the graduates of the Teaching Skills Program and the CAS in University Teaching and Learning Gabriele Siegert invited all attendees to join the closing drinks reception and to look at the exhibition on display in the Lichthof The exhibition showcases innovative teaching projects that have received funding from the UZH Teaching Fund and displays posters about the Teaching Tools platform Visitors to the exhibition were able to try out AI chatbots developed by students and use virtual reality to discover the complex anatomy of the ear Der Bundesrat hat sich mit möglichen Änderungen des Zahn- und Humanmedizinstudiums befasst Die Entscheidungen betreffen vor allem die Zahnmedizin Der Bundesrat hat die von der Bundesregierung beabsichtigte gemeinsame Ausbildung in den Studiengängen Zahnmedizin und Humanmedizin im vorklinischen Abschnitt abgelehnt Damit bleibt es vorerst bei der getrennten Ausbildung von Zahn- und Humanmedizinern Laut Mitteilung des Bundesrates begründen die Länder ihre Ablehnung damit dass eine solch grundlegende Reform auch die Weiterentwicklung der allgemeinen medizinischen Ausbildung umfassen sollte Diese werde allerdings erst im Rahmen des Prozesses zum Masterplan Medizinstudium 2020 zwischen Bund und Ländern ausgehandelt Damit ändert dem Bundesrat zufolge die aktuell beschlossene Verordnung nur die zahnärztlichen Inhalte der Approbationsordnung die seit 1955 weitgehend unverändert gelte Das Studium soll sich danach künftig in einen viersemestrigen vorklinischen und einen sechssemestrigen klinischen Studienabschnitt gliedern Die ersten vier Semester enden mit dem "Ersten Abschnitt der Zahnärztlichen Prüfung" die in der vorlesungsfreien Zeit stattfinden soll Darüber hinaus hat der Bundesrat beschlossen den Studierenden bei den Praxisteilen des Zahnmedizinstudiums mehr Lehrende zuzuordnen: Im Unterricht am Patienten von bisher 1:6 auf 1:3 In einer begleitenden Entschließung warnt der Bundesrat jedoch davor dass die kleineren Lerngruppen nicht zu einer verringerten Studienplatzkapazität führen dürften Schließlich sei der Versorgungsbedarf unverändert hoch Insofern bittet er die Bundesregierung darum diese Frage im Dialog mit den Ländern zu klären Ebenfalls Teil der Reform sei die Neugewichtung der bisherigen Ausbildungsinhalte sowie die Stärkung des Strahlenschutzes und der wissenschaftlichen Kompetenz der Studierenden Setzt die Bundesregierung die Änderungen des Bundesrates um kann sie die Verordnung im Bundesgesetzblatt verkünden und zum 1 Die Bundeszahnärztekammer (BZÄK) hat Moderninisierung der "völlig veralteten Approbationsordnung für Zahnärzte (ZApprO)" begrüßt."Die Verabschiedung der neuen Studienordnung ist dringend und längst überfällig Dass die Aktualisierung der ZApprO nach 64 Jahren nun zeitnah erfolgen soll ist eine sehr gute Nachricht für die Zahnmedizin Die Rahmenbedingungen für die Hochschulen entsprechen damit den aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Anforderungen" Peter Engel.Allerdings kritisiert die BZÄK dass die Vorklinik von der Novelle ausgenommen sei Die Bundeszahnärztekammer und mit ihr die 17 (Landes-)zahnärztekammern fordern dass die notwendigen Reformen des ersten Studienabschnitts in den Entwurf für den Masterplan Medizinstudium 2020 aufgenommen werden Die Praxisorientierung in der Ärzteausbildung wird immer wichtiger Der Großteil der Medizin-Studierenden ist weiblich Verschärft das den
