	Peer group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A peer group is a group of people of approximately the same age, social status, and interests.
		Some groups are socialized by peers rather than by their families or conventional institutions.
		In Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Architecture, a peer group is a group of functional units in a given layer of a network in which all the functions performed by the functional units extend throughout the system at the same layer.

	Changes to UBPR Peer Groups Effective with March 31, 2004 UBPR
		Current peer groups 15 through 24, which have a variety of asset ranges below $50M, will be combined into four new peer groups that divide banks with less than $50M in assets based on their location and number of branches.
		For example, the peer group average for Non Interest Income to Average Assets for banks in current peer group 21 is 3.71% while banks in comparable new peer group 14 will be compared to a more reasonable peer average of 1.43%.
		Under the current structure, the peer group averages reflect a static composite bank that is 1.5 years old, with loss operations and a high capital ratio.

	Peer Learning Program - Christian Reformed Church
		Peer groups are required to meet a minimum of four times but are encouraged to meet more often if possible.
		However, peer learning groups are encouraged to make such contributions when they can, as a way of enhancing their ability to continue beyond the term of the grant.
		Peer learning grants are intended to cover a range of possible expenses, including learning resources (books, videos, etc.), travel, conference registration, refreshments for meeting times, and the cost of pulpit supply in local congregations with financial needs.

	BBC - Parenting - Your kids - Peer pressure
		'Peer group' is a term commonly used by psychologists to describe people of a similar age, often when talking about adolescents.
		In the meantime, they'll probably adopt whatever the peer group adopts, in terms of clothes, appearance or opinions.
		One example might be the pressure from the peer group to engage in sexual behaviour earlier than one wants: "Everyone else is doing it, so why aren't you?" Good education in sex and relationships from the school - and strong support from family and friends - can help get this pressure in perspective.

		These groups are the “blueprint” for the profession to take its next step forward, providing a continuing source of personal renewal for each astrologer from the very beginning to the end of their professional life.
		Even when a group of group leaders get together to do peer supervision, one of them must be in charge of when to start and end a session, when to switch focus, and what kinds of questions to ask.
		There is a time in a session of peer group work, where people seem to wander in their attention and observations, this is when the work on this client is done for the time being.

	For CEOs Only
		Find out exactly how many members are permitted in a group, and beware of organizations that justify larger numbers because "not everyone comes all the time." A peer group with a spotty attendance record won't develop an atmosphere of trust and won't provide you with a consistent sounding board.
		Many peer groups stay together for years, but even their biggest boosters concede that it's important to assess regularly the return on your investment of time, energy, and money.
		Homegrown peer groups can be just as useful as their pricier alternatives if they work hard to maintain structure and discipline.

		I find that when most parents think of peer pressure they imagine variations on the type of situation where a bunch of teens are drinking or smoking something while one abstainer is being taunted that “everyone’s doing it.” This is only one way in which peer pressure can exert itself.
		Peer pressure usually depends on the kind of peer group your child hangs out with—or the one she aspires to.
		There are other groups where one strong personality dominates and that person uses his or her influence over the others to lead the group into trouble.

		Traffic is still well-distributed in that any level of group always receives packets in a single data rate with no duplicates, independent of the number of receivers included in each group, because of the varying path.
