D & B Blocks Social Studies 10 - Since we didn't get to it on Wednesday, today we'll do some brainstorming on economic terminology to see what we know or think we know about economics...and we'll watch what Jacob Clifford and Adriene Hill have to say...
and then we'll look at the key points and important information about the following British Columbian industries:
- Forestry
- Fisheries
- Agriculture
- Mining
- Tourism
- Other (human and health services or film & television production and technology)
- An overview of extraction/production methods (what is taken or produced and how it is done)
- An overview of the impact on the economy of the province (how much money is made, how many people are employed, where in the province it is done, where the product is sold)
- An explanation of the issues associated with the industry (social, environmental, economic concerns).
- A job futures explanation (sunrise/sunset, rising/falling, etc...)
C Block Law 12 - I have the library booked today for you to continue working on your civil law major term project. After today there are only 5 classes left until the final exam and 3 classes left in the library to work on your major civil law term project. No pressure...really.

From the Canada Safety Council dealing with Social Host Liability:
It is important for every social host to consider the consequences involved with the service of alcohol because there will continue to be lawsuits. The social host could be found to have a duty of care to guests and all those who are at risk due to the intoxication of the guests for events that could be foreseeable. Further, the host has a duty to monitor and supervise the service and consumption of alcohol during a party or event.
The best course is to take risk management measures. The social host should check his or her insurance to determine if there is coverage for any incident that may occur on the property or as a result of actions from the property. When hosting a party, plan appropriately. This includes:
- Either don't drink or limit your own consumption of alcohol in order to track that of your guests.
- Know your guests - it is much easier to track the changes in behaviour of those you know.
- Try to serve all drinks yourself and avoid self-serve bars to track and monitor your guests' consumption. Consider hiring a bartender trained in alcohol service.
- Have plenty of non-alcoholic choices.
- Serve lots of food that has protein and fat - salt encourages more drinking and sugar does not mix well with alcohol.
- Meet, Greet and Repeat - meet and greet all your guests as they arrive in order to determine if they have had anything alcoholic to drink before arriving. If the party is an open house or cocktail format, repeat the process as guests leave.
- If a guest is intoxicated, encourage him or her to give you their car keys if relevant. Buddy up with a friend to assist in persuading the intoxicated person to take a cab.
- Keep the phone numbers of cab companies handy and tell the guest that a cab has been ordered - don't give them the option to refuse.
- If the guest is quite intoxicated, keep that person with you until they have sobered or can be left with a sober responsible person.
- Only time will sober the person, not additional fluids or food. Offering a spare bed is a good recourse.
- If the person refuses to give the car keys or spend the night at your house, call the police. It may seem drastic, but it could be a choice between that of an upset friend or far more tragic consequences.
A Block Criminology 12 - Today in Criminology class I'm going to show you a television show called White Collar. Before we do, however:
From USA network:
White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffery (Matt Boomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He'll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can't be found on the right side of the law.
The episode I’d like you to show is called Hard Sell from season 1, which deals with stock manipulation and churning the value of stock in a boiler room (metaphor). From tv.com...
The scam is a "pump and dump", in which a group of "junior Gordon Gekkos" is selling bad stock. The guy in charge buys a large amount of dollar stocks, and has his men inflate the price by selling it over the phone. When the price peaks, guy in charge dumps the stock and leaves the buyers holding worthless shares. The average person loses $30,000, and some victims have lost their homes. The boiler room is mobile, moving to a new location after each stock dump
