UKPSEC AND UKPSF D UAL PROFESSIONALISM OF ENGINEERING EDUCATORS Dr Jarka Glassey – Newcastle University Dr Gill Cooke – Engineering and Materials Discipline Lead
Outline Background Motivation The UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence Approach to UKSPEC - UKPSF mapping Next steps
Background Biochemical engineer with a degree from STU, Bratislava PhD in bioprocess modelling from Newcastle University Reader in chemical engineering education Extensive experience in QA in HE (Director of Teaching, Degree Programme Director, etc.) Chair of Certificate in Advanced Studies in Academic Practice BoS Chair of IChemE Education SIG CEng and Fellow of IChemE, mentor for CEng applicants HEA Principal Fellow (D4)
Motivation To encourage engineering educators to gain recognition of their dual professionalism as educators (UKPSF) and professional engineers (UKSPEC) Engineering Council and Professional Engineering Institutions licenced to award CEng recognition increasingly requiring professional recognition of academics in accredited departments Teaching excellence recognition equally important
UKSPEC Describes competence and commitment requirements to be met for registration as EngTech, IEng and Chartered Engineer (CEng).
UKSPEC Includes examples of activities that could demonstrate achievement of the requirements Professional registration underpins the systems and processes that ensure the current and future safeguarding of society. Provides the confidence that professionally registered engineers and technicians possess and maintain the knowledge, skills and commitment required to meet the engineering and technological needs More detail on
UKSPEC A A Knowledge and understanding B B Design and development of processes, systems, services and products C C Responsibility, management or leadership D D Communication and inter- personal skills E E Professional commitment
UKSPEC Process: Complete the relevant documentation providing evidence against the requirements Peer evaluation and interview – recommendation to the Panel Passport to practice?
Approach to UKSPEC - UKPSF mapping Engineering lens on the UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education and the Engineering Council's UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence Practical guidance to those wishing to develop and demonstrate their professional education practice as set out in The UKPSF and their competence and commitment standard for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status that is set out in UKSPEC. HEA recognition at Fellow (D2) level is assumed, although a number of UK-SPEC requirements may map more directly onto higher level UKPSF descriptors.
Approach to UKSPEC - UKPSF mapping HEA academic associate appointed Review of the various PEI requirements of demonstrating Competence and Commitment Discussions with Deborah Seddon at Engineering Council Consultation with PEI representatives Draft lens reviewed by Engineering Council and HEA Third version of UKSPEC published end January 2014 Draft graphical version of the lens developed
The actual process Detailed knowledge of UKSPEC through mentoring and involvements with the IChemE Professional Formation Forum initiatives Detailed knowledge of UKPSF through close involvement in re-accreditation of the CASAP programme and the development of University CPD framework 'One person' initial mapping Consultations with relevant experts More effective with a team?
Approach to UKSPEC - UKPSF mapping
UK-SPEC requirementExamples of your pedagogical activities (UKPSF Dimensions of practice addressed) A Use a combination of general and specialist engineering knowledge and understanding to optimise the application of existing and emerging technology. A1 Maintain and extend a sound theoretical approach in enabling the introduction and exploitation of new and advancing technology. Teaching subject areas relevant to professional formation (e.g. keeping abreast of the theoretical developments in your subject area and/or carrying out research in that area in order to effectively teach). CPD in pedagogical innovations relating to teaching the subject area. Engagement with pedagogical literature and scholarship relating to student learning in the subject area. (A2, A5, K1, V3) A2 Engage in the creative and innovative development of engineering technology and continuous improvement systems. Design, plan and deliver learning activities/programme of study utilising knowledge of the needs of the students and employers based on research, scholarship and CPD. Develop effective learning environments and methods for teaching as well as approaches to student guidance in subject specific and professional practice relating matters. Identify appropriate learning technologies and methods of continuous evaluation of their impact on student learning, quality assurance and professional practice. (A1, A2, A4, A5, K1, K2, K4, K6, V2) B Apply appropriate theoretical and practical methods to the analysis and solution of engineering problems. B1 Identify potential projects and opportunities. Using educational challenges as examples of systems approach to problem solving and identifying opportunities. Explore opportunities for designing learning activities/programmes of studies, effective learning environments, the use of appropriate teaching methods and technologies, assessment and feedback methods and/or methods for evaluation of the effectiveness of teaching based on research, scholarship and CPD. Utilise the knowledge of the wider HE context as well as the implications of quality assurance and enhancement within professional engineering formation. (A1- A5, K2 – K6, V2 - V4)
Next steps Piloting the Engineering lens Two senior engineering colleagues who already have CEng and are interested in HEA fellowship An engineering educator in the final year of their three year academic probation period, a member of professional society but not a CEng Additional interest in piloting from the last HEA UKPSF Road Show Review of the mapping, wider piloting and final publishing of the Engineering lens on UKPSF

WoW these Fragrant Iris get better and better. Thanks loads. Can't wait to smell the Irises.

Subject: Re: [iris-talk] TB HIST: Suggestions?
Re: Good older pinks. I grew Scaparelli (I know this
isn't spelled right but can't think of it) when I
lived in upstate NY. Older, quite tailored form but
grew like a weed and had gorgeous color. It caused
traffic jams when in full bloom. I think Iris City
Gardens in TN carries it.
As to fragrance, it's hard to remember what smells
best but what comes to mind is Blue Luster which
smells great in my garden and Schreiner's includes it
in a list of fragrant irises in their catalogue. I
also love Triple Whammy 'cause it smells like the
lemon custard ice cream we used to get when I was a
Carol in the now quite hot TX 'Hill Country'. Summer
is definitely here! (zone 8b)
OOps! almost forgot. Have been without my computer
for a # of weeks. Hard drive crashed and I lost a lot
of information. At least three people contacted me
from this group and suggested that we trade. Could
you please contact me again?

Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, Cote d'Ivoire's investor-friendly new mining code, developed in close collaboration with its mining industry, will accelerate the country's emergence as a significant gold producer, Randgold Resources chief executive Mark Bristow told a media briefing here today. Randgold operates the Tongon gold mine in Cote d'Ivoire and has extensive exploration holdings elsewhere in the country.
Bristow noted that the depletion of the world's mature goldfields had shifted gold miners' focus to new regions, notably in Africa. Despite the continuing fallback in supply from South Africa, once the world's largest gold producer, Africa still accounted for 20% of global gold output, thanks to the recent growth of the gold mining industries elsewhere on the continent, notably in West Africa."Considering the continent's vast mineral wealth, however, it still has a long way to go to deliver on its full potential," Bristow said."Investors are deterred by the political and infrastructural risks associated with Africa, but in Cote d'Ivoire we have shown how these challenges can be overcome by a true partnership between a mining company, the government and the people."
This spirit of cooperation was evident in the process of formulating the new code, said Bristow, and he was sure that the country's mining companies would also be involved in the finalisation of the decree of application which will lay down the rules for the code's implementation. "It's now all about delivery by the government as well as the industry, but the principle has already been established that this country needs business partners, not barriers. That applies to the rest of the continent as well," he said.

Due of the rise of Hadoop, many enterprises are now deploying their first small clusters of 10 to 20 servers. At this small scale, the complexity of operating the cluster looks and feels like general data center servers. It is not until the clusters scale, as they inevitably do, when the pain caused by the exponential complexity becomes apparent. We've seen this problem occur time and time again. In his session at Big Data Expo, Greg Bruno, Vice President of Engineering and co-founder of StackIQ...

For organizations that have amassed large sums of software complexity, taking a microservices approach is the first step toward DevOps and continuous improvement / development. Integrating system-level analysis with microservices makes it easier to change and add functionality to applications at any time without the increase of risk. Before you start big transformation projects or a cloud migration, make sure these changes won't take down your entire organization.

Screen protectors pros and cons?
HI all,
I have a MAXX on preorder with wirefly. While I wait I am debating whether or not to use a screen protector on this phone. On all my previous smart phones I have had one, but never having dropped one or damaged a screen I am debating it usefulness. It dims the screen is hard to remove when you are done with the phone and considering resale.
I am looking for the communities view. What are your views on this item? The pros, cons please help me a little with your insight.
Thank you everyone for your help.

The real question is do you think you need it? Do you drop your phone alot or put phone in pocket with keys?
I used to use a tech skin protector and it saved the screen when my phone fell on rocks after the wind blew my collapsible chair over. When I got my gnex I was to lazy to get another one and just bought some cheap ones from Verizon. Never had any issues with them and prefer them over the real ones because there isn't as much glare or rubberness to them. But of course there is no comparison to the protection of a real quality screen protector. I plan on putting a cheap one on my maxx, though probably not from Verizon cause they are a rip at 13$.

Re: Screen protectors pros and cons?
I did not put one on my Razr and it looks new. The Gorilla Glass really is great. Now, I don't put keys and phone in the same pocket...if you do, there's a better solution than a screen protector. Figure it out.

Dodge Ram Van 2500 ProblemsHVAC Air Flow Switching to Defrost When Accelerating
The AC/heater (HVAC) system may unexpectedly switch to the defrost mode when accelerating. This system is operated by engine vacuum and should be inspected for any vacuum leaks if this problem develops. There is also a revised vacuum check valve available to address this concern.
The HVAC blower may operate on high speed only. This is commonly caused by a failed blower motor resistor. Chrysler has released a revised part to address this problem.

Chrysler is recalling certain 2001-2002 Dodge Dakota, Durango, Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 models because the park shift interlock system may not function correctly. When this system fails, the shifter can be moved out of the "Park" position with the ignition in the "lock" position. The ignition key can also be removed when the shifter is not in the "Park" position. Either of these conditions could allow the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly, possibly resulting in a crash. Dealers will replace the gearshift blocker and bracket assembly.
The retractor that secures a wheel chair in a handicapped conversion vehicle may be ineffective. Dealers will inspect and replace the wheel chair securement retractors as necessary to resolve the concern.

About Roxy Bernstein joins us the play by play voice at ESPN ESPN radio the pac twelve network does at all and Roxy the firing of Sonny dykes what is the impact. All of this firing and how important of a job is this on the West Coast for the league coach may be Chip Kelly or other big names are they gonna have to look. To a mediocre name may be some more now familial. Why acting JP. Yesterday at the Mike Williams said it best when key. The cabinet so win it and that's why they made its decision they want somebody who'd been at the long ball they want to win it now. And that clear that Sonny dykes with its overtures trying to get other jobs with not in that mindset. That's outlook and why people want it Rodney. All it won't they technicality in the they'll block out that bit. That one had Japanese do the other pure coincidence. That it just so happened that Chip Kelly are available. I think it beat IE the state is not a candidate I don't out strongly in it eat it for the job. That it will go after a coach that made the best fit what are young aggressive coach or whether it's approve it looks like Richard cal. All of the reports are accurate how big of a deal is it to eat five point 88 million. That result from being fired without cause is that really significant where that's gonna hurt. What they do going folder or is that a drop in the bucket the bucket they pay that and move on and continue to spend big money. Dictated here he'd get that cal made its decision. But they also liked and look at the big picture JG is that it had to wait its seat in. What it was way interest among donors that began may be it's ticket or goals were down. Because it's what a lot of excitement program. Foresight to realize OK yes we make its move now we take a big hit early but the reward paid dividends to the back and. Whereas if you stuck it out one more year with Saudi dike. And by all indications are. 27 it would have been lassie and now that would let the program back 34 years and plus the money that you're going to loot out row. That it had the foresight to make it happen out realize. It's in the best interest were well. Roxy Bronson is our guest yeah I agree with all of that when you look at moving forward sometimes you gotta spend money you gotta eat a contract to make the program better you talked to the donors you know the season ticket holders. What are their expectations are they reasonable. That they want this program to be right back with Stanford. USC. Washington or they expect and it's gonna be really hard maybe a step backwards. To get where they wanna be in three or four years. They know it's going to be hard but they wanna win and they're committed to winning and Mike Williams the eighties made it very clear. It will wondered why it take so long wide out you fire and it supposed to do but say a month ago. There's a lot of pain and added he lined up but now in its app. There's so much community and ball in the chancellor at that side opposite the higher up the administration of the university there were a lot. Support that Mike Williams. From a higher even superiors. To make it happen. So they are committed to winning they want to win. And Arctic is the statement is speak loudly not get kicked out community but the pact lull there cal in this to win. And they're not sure it's gonna settle for mediocre alternate. Roxy Bernstein is our guest rock rap on this this is a big big big game tonight for Alabama and Clemson if you live in the market you know. College athletics you travel all over the country hotbed. Cities for football and basketball what ever take I'm not expecting. The east bay to have passion for college football like Tuscaloosa or the diehards in Clemson tonight apple why is this game on a Monday night. So important to the Bay Area I'll go first I said because eleven players are gonna go in the first round of the NFL draft yet the niners in the right as in this market with. First round picks bred a culture of college football needs to step. In the Bay Area the way it did 3040 years ago or the way it possibly can to catch up to the ACC the Big Ten and especially the SEC. No question JC that. The interest it is there when cal good went to cal not good the interest the Bay Area isn't that high. Desperate at great eat great players that come to whether it's a lot what is cryptic app for. Whether it's still the air part that they've had high runner up and I'll bet that you are on that it shocked that it. Birdie of the day they're so we're in war cal a loved it band that went Cal's stood I think that they eerie becomes more interest did. In college football and would get get out of rolling in and achieve our cal sell other regain. It will lock it over to the Aaron Rodgers and I think that's what it take to get interest back the air. Each well. It is good football team and achieve that competing for championships. And when that happened that it is more interest in the Bay Area. I would grade they've finally when you know you have a game with Bill Walton as your color analyst and he shows up with a tie dye shirt on and you're having your pre. Game meal and you talk and do you have any idea when he's gonna break out his words of wisdom going to be late in the game at B if he's upset with the crowd could be early before half time do you did you sense when big red it's gonna go down the road because I think you do a brilliant job just taken a step back. The letting him go and go off on these wild rides I love it. You need Hewlett they'll be built because you buy if you could make oil well. And the one that not it's contrived now that it's easy with built at all. Org and it for it he got an app when our conversation pregame shootaround that day. We don't talk anything about the case. And because you want it would be actually all these famous award from it stated for air. So we need to rush on the air and built in what you say. And it's time Geithner might spot where he went back. Let it go on. What was. The younger generation to understand. How good law really. A character were greatly. On TV and on about whatever comes the mine. Arguably at the rate at college basketball players adequately. And you know they get it it next to a person gains in. Ruling from being a lot of it's challenging it's different or any other network where. But I it's so rewarding and. Yeah I like do you said that rock skis he's such a legend and for those who didn't see him play in college forget about the NBA career we know about the foot injuries and it was a really great impact full. NBA player when healthy would have been one of the all time greats but what he accomplished. As a college basketball player when ever I see him on a broadcast. I know we're looking at a mount Rushmore player who has unbelievable inside not only into the game but in to in life in these stories that he tells tied into the dead in the old days. At the Fillmore all the traveling that he does and especially the impact of these kids. Happening in basketball so he's a complete package and you really are Bryson those opportunities to call games of them I can tell. I love and what they'll yet he's so hot weather Luke. It's a great access player now a coach whether it is other son is three other non. That are very successful well. It is intrepid got appearance so much energy full life. And it great and we call it either reaction on the players. When bills there idol brought the game winning shot org now. And pill works is running all over again they'll but Brad Wright after he hit a shot Oregon to beat Tennessee. And that is the impact in the feeling that players at being out. And it just seemed everybody more energized we've built in the world. And the funny thing about really is he's readily aware of what's going on Twitter when he strikes being. Note in the polarizing figure any note was people's buttons any luck doing it and get to kick out of it. And that's what I wouldn't units there a step belly up mapped it to it that is their duty to the law. No doubt always a pleasure talking to my friend a doctor soon. If you hit it. Iraq's Bernstein.

Shares of Panera Bread continue to fade as the post earnings momentum shows signs of complete exhaustion.
The details matter in this case.
Jim Cramer says next week's earnings calendar is littered with brick-and-mortar roadkill.
Markets keep surging amid strong earnings and upbeat Fed commentary. In the portfolio, we add to 3 positions and trim 4.
We would be willing to add back to the position on any material pullback once shares have cooled off.
Highlights included initiating positions in Cimarex and Snap-On and exiting Occidental Petroleum.
Cramer shares his views about what's killing retailers and restaurants, and points out that the stock market isn't controlled by the president.
Earnings and talk of the administration's tax plan invigorate markets. We add 2 positions to the portfolio and drop an energy name.
The forces against traffic are numerous, powerful and secular.
When bond yields rise, the economy roars and it's game on for industrials, banks and retailers, says Jim Cramer.
Losing control can send some, such as Twitter, off the rails.
Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, talks to Jim Cramer about the company's powehouse game titles.
Allergan CEO Brent Saunders tells Jim Cramer the company's research and development efforts are paying off.

Jim Cramer is bullish on BlackRock and Dave and Busters, but bearish on Callaway Golf and AU Optronics.
It's not an over-exuberant Trump bubble, Jim Cramer says, because earnings and fundamentals remain solid.
Stocks struggle for direction as oil prices rebound and financials fall, but the Nasdaq and S&P 500 move higher in afternoon trading.
The fast-casual food chain expects to do well in the $40 billion-a-year food-delivery business.
The company's 2.0 initiative appears to be working. Here's the proof that Panera's new strategy is making this a stellar stock.
There appears to be room to eat healthy and not care about the carbs. It comes down to risk.

Voters with Disabilities:
Challenges to Voting Accessibility
GAO-13-538SP: Published: Apr 23, 2013. Publicly Released: Apr 23, 2013.

What GAO Found
Compared to 2000, the proportion of polling places in 2008 without potential impediments increased and almost all polling places had an accessible voting system as states and localities made various efforts to help facilitate accessible voting. In 2008, based upon GAO's survey of polling places, GAO estimated that 27 percent of polling places had no potential impediments in the path from the parking to the voting area--up from16 percent in 2000; 45 percent had potential impediments but offered curbside voting; and the remaining 27 percent had potential impediments and did not offer curbside voting. All but one polling place GAO visited had an accessible voting system--typically, an electronic machine in a voting station--to facilitate private and independent voting for people with disabilities. However, 46 percent of polling places had an accessible voting system that could pose a challenge to certain voters with disabilities, such as voting stations that were not arranged to accommodate voters using wheelchairs. In GAO's 2008 state survey, 43 states reported that they set accessibility standards for polling places, up from 23 states in 2000. Further, 31 states reported that ensuring polling place accessibility was challenging. Localities GAO surveyed in 2008 reported providing voting services directly to long-term care facility residents who may face challenges voting in a polling place. For example, close to one-third of localities GAO surveyed reported designating long-term care facilities as Election Day polling places.
From shortly after the passage of HAVA until 2006, Justice provided guidance on polling place accessibility and conducted an initial assessment of states' compliance with HAVA's January 2006 deadline for accessible voting systems. After implementation of HAVA, Justice's oversight of HAVA's access requirements was part of two other enforcement efforts, but gaps remained. While Justice provided guidance on polling place accessibility, this guidance did not address accessibility of the voting area itself. In 2009, Justice conducted polling place observations for federal elections that identified whether accessible voting systems were in place, but it did not systematically assess the physical accessibility of polling places or the level of privacy and independence provided to voters with disabilities. Justice also conducted a small number of annual community assessments of Americans with Disabilities Act compliance of public buildings, which included buildings designated as polling places. However, these assessments did not provide a national perspective on polling place accessibility or assess any special features of the voting area and the accessible voting system that are set up only on Election Day.
Why GAO Did This Study
Voting is fundamental to our democracy and federal law generally requires polling places to be accessible to all eligible voters, including those with disabilities and the elderly. However during the 2000 federal election, GAO found that only 16 percent of polling places had no potential impediments to voting access for people with disabilities. To address these and other issues, Congress enacted the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), which required each polling place to have an accessible voting system by 2006. Congress asked GAO to reassess voting access on Election Day 2008, and also to study voter accessibility at long-term care facilities.
This statement focuses on (1) progress made from 2000 to 2008 to improve voter accessibility in polling places, including relevancy to long-term care facilities and (2) steps the Department of Justice (Justice) has taken to enforce HAVA voting access provisions.
To prepare this statement, GAO relied primarily on its prior products on polling place accessibility (GAO-09-941) and voting in long-term care facilities (GAO-10-6).
What GAO Recommends
GAO previously recommended that Justice expand its monitoring and oversight of polling place accessibility. Justice generally agreed with our recommendation and has reported taking some steps towards addressing it, such as expanding Election Day observations to include an assessment of physical accessibility.

An investigation of caesarean births, which are increasing worldwide, has revealed that dangers to both mother and baby are increased in hospitals where the procedure is most commonly carried out.
Mothers were more likely to require antibiotic treatment and to suffer illness after a caesarean while their babies were more likely to be delivered prematurely. Deaths were increased in mothers and babies.
The findings will fuel the debate over caesareans in Britain where women are increasingly demanding the right to choose their method of delivery. Campaigners say that as mothers are getting older and babies are bigger, the risks of natural birth have increased.
In Britain, the rate of caesarean births has more than doubled in 20 years to more than one in five (22 per cent) of all births. It has been driven by fear of litigation, the increasing medicalisation of childbirth and the demand from some women for a convenient, pain-free method of delivery.
The actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who is married to the Coldplay singer, Chris Martin, opted for a caesarean for the delivery of her second child, Moses, last month after a 70-hour labour with her first child, Apple.
Ms Paltrow, who lives in London, had Moses in New York but other celebrities have chosen the private Portland Hospital in the capital for caesarean deliveries including Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney and Claudia Schiffer.
The latest research was conducted in South America where caesarean rates are higher than the UK, at an average of 33 per cent of all births. Well-heeled Latin American women are more anxious about the potential effect of a vaginal birth on their sex lives than British women and in some private hospitals the rate is up to 60 per cent.
Writing in The Lancet, the researchers say the study of 97,000 deliveries in eight countries in Latin America showed the risks to the baby began to increase as caesarean rates rose from 10 to 20 per cent. Just under half were "elective" or planned caesareans, while the remainder were emergencies carried out during labour when the women got into difficulties. They say their findings "should be generalisable beyond the participating institutions."
Jose Villar and colleagues from the World Health Organisation say the number of caesareans performed "reflect a complex social process, affected by clinical status, family and social pressures, the legal system, availability of technology, women's role models".
They add: "High rates of caesarean delivery do not necessarily indicate good quality care or services. Our results show how a medical intervention that is effective when applied to sick individuals in emergency situations can do more harm than good when applied to healthy populations."
In Britain, the rise in the caesarean rate has been most severely criticised by the Royal College of Midwives which says it is depriving women of the experience of a natural birth. In 2004, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice) launched guidelines aimed at curbing the rise.
A caesarean costs about £3,200 compared with £1,700 for a vaginal birth. The evidence submitted to NICE showed that women who had a caesarean were slightly less likely to suffer incontinence or prolapse of the womb but more likely to suffer thrombosis - blood clots in the legs or lungs - bladder injury or to require further surgery.
Babies born by caesarean were more likely to have breathing problems at birth.

A new episode of The Gods of Reed is available.
Chapter 25: Reparations
Caleb stood in the rain, letting the water plaster his hair to his forehead and sting his eyes. He hadn't cut his hair since he arrived and it showed. It was long enough for a stumpy pony tail in the back. His clothes were soaked through, his shoes squeaked as he shifted his weight. It was a harsh winter rain, with a chill wind besides. He wore only jeans and a faded t-shirt, which did nothing to protect him.
But he did not feel cold. He knew he should, but somehow didn't. He was either too numb to feel it anymore or he was in the middle of a dream. He couldn't remember why he stood out in the rain so the latter seemed likely. Why was it raining so harsh? Had he fallen asleep outside again?
The rain felt cleansing, washing away some internal strife he didn't know he had. Or maybe his ignorance. At least some of it. He hoped it would deter the local denizens. He doubted it would. They enjoyed stalking him too much, giving out bits and drabs of information like a precious commodity.

I will be teaching American history, science, bible, and spelling. For my American history classes, I want them to have the opportunity to accrue some bonus points by memorizing and reciting inspirational and/or famous quotes by important Americans. I used to have a list years ago, but I lost it. :BangHead: :BangHead: Would some of you please contribute some quotes by famous or even not-so-famous Americans to add to the list I am now starting over with? Here is what I am looking for. uplifting quotes (not necessarily religious) represented by all Americans (men and women, all races, all walks of life) quotes that can be turned into a history lesson quotes that will challenge young students to be better Americans brief enough for a child to memorize interesting, unique, comical, somber, .......anything with great meaning But most importantly.....quotes that will cause them to think and ask "why?" or "what does that mean?" Thanks in advance. I'm starting my list right now.

|The next example shows that fuzzy does not equal poisonous and non-fuzzy
safe, oh no!
The caterpillar of the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly is an interesting fellow because it feeds on plants of the Pipevine family that are poisonous to most other insects and animals. This caterpillar not only eats the plant without being
harmed but also stores its poison inside and becomes poisonous itself the more it eats. Fully grown caterpillars are about two inches long and black with red spines.
Not an adult yet but positively poisonous looking!

Overview of Health Disparities Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups. Definition: a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage
For all Americans, other influences on health include the availability of and access to: A high-quality education Nutritious food Decent and safe housing Affordable, reliable public transportation Culturally sensitive health care providers Health insurance Clean water and nonpolluted air
Disparities by race and ethnicity African Americans and American Indians/Alaska Natives have higher rates of infant mortality and diabetes. A higher percentage of Asian Americans live in poverty than do non-Hispanic whites. Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders have much higher rates of cancer and hepatitis. Hispanics have higher rates of obesity, HIV/AIDS, and smoking.
Disparities by gender Women have higher rates of obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, some mental disorders, and autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis than men. Women, especially those in their childbearing years, continue to be the fastest growing segment of the population to be infected with HIV or diagnosed with AIDS. An estimated 25 percent of people living with HIV in the United States are women. Because women can experience the symptoms of a heart attack differently than men, they may be misdiagnosed, or women may not realize they are having a heart attack until it is too late.
Disparities by gender More men die from heart disease, cancer, influenza and pneumonia, chronic liver disease, diabetes, and AIDS than women. More men die prematurely from violence (homicide and suicide) and accidents than women. Men abuse alcohol and drugs at higher rates than women. More men than women smoke tobacco. Men are more likely to delay routine checkups and ignore symptoms of a health problem than women.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Populations LGBT youth are 2 to 3 times more likely to attempt suicide. LGBT youth are more likely to be homeless. Lesbians are less likely to get preventive services for cancer. Elderly LGBT individuals face additional barriers to health because of isolation and a lack of social services and culturally competent providers. LGBT populations have some of the highest rates of tobacco use
Persons With Disabilities or Special Health Care Needs Adults with disabilities are more likely to be obese or overweight and have high blood pressure and high cholesterol than other adults. The rates of substance abuse among people with disabilities are about 2 to 4 times greater than that of the general population. Research has shown that women with disabilities have a higher risk for emotional, physical, and sexual abuse than do women without disabilities.
Geographic Location: Rural Residents Rural residents face a number of barriers in accessing quality health services, and they experience significant health disparities. Compared with their urban counterparts, rural residents were more likely to: Report being in fair to poor health Live with a chronic disease such as diabetes Die from heart disease Be admitted to a hospital for uncontrolled diabetes
Geographic Location: Urban Residents Concentrated poverty Higher levels of indoor and outdoor pollution, such as noise and air pollution from motor vehicle traffic and industry, and indoor exposure to allergens, carcinogens, and lead Overcrowding, leading to higher rates of infectious diseases
