A Block Physical Geography - Aloha family, today we'll take the class to work on the Koko Head (Hawai'i Kai) topographic map assignment in your Canadian Landscape topographic map textbook.The scale of the map is 1:24000 which means 1 cm = 240m (.24km)
The contour interval is 40' (12.12m)
B Block Human Geography - Today our Key Question to address is "Where are Folk and Popular Material Culture Distributed?" I'm hoping that you are seeing some consistent themes in Human Geography this year. Remember that folk culture is traditionally practiced primarily by small, homogeneous groups living in isolated rural areas while popular culture is found in large, heterogeneous societies. Folk culture is influenced heavily by the environment that it develops in while popular culture depends less on the environment because it diffuses on a larger scale (globalization). With the larger globalized scale of popular culture (becoming more dominant), the survival of unique folk cultures is threatened...This is one of the themes I hope you are starting to see.
So...Customs in folk culture (such as provision of food, clothing, and shelter) are clearly influenced by the prevailing climate, soil, and vegetation (utilizing localized resources). Today we'll look at clothing, food and housing (looking at folk housing vs popular housing). We'll watch the video on Toraja village in Indonesia and then we'll talk about feng shui and popular housing locally...The Comox Box.
During the 1970s, affordability became a major factor in the home buying process. To help make housing more affordable, builders reduced lot sizes and increased the density of developments.To appeal to first-time buyers and stimulate the housing market, CMHC (then Central, now Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) introduced the Assisted Home Ownership Program (AHOP) in 1971, to help low-income people attain home ownership. This meant that the average lot size in "newer" (1970's) Comox and Courtenay developments was reduced to 0.19 acre and the house size was increased to about 1800 square feet. You'll have some questions to work on for me
C Block Criminology - Don't forget, I'd like you to:
Explain what serial and mass murder are along with the reasons (P,L,P,L,T) why they commit these crime
To better understand the people that commit heinous acts of murder, we'll take some more time to understand what a "psychopath" is...specifically a Charismatic Psychopath: charming, attractive liars; gifted at some talent, using it to their advantage in manipulating others; verbally facile fast-talkers who easily persuade others out of everything they own, even their lives.
Leaders of religious sects or cults may be psychopaths (charismatic) if they lead their followers to their deaths. This sub type often comes to believe in the fictions they create (which are often apocalyptic in nature) and are often irresistible (Jim Jones and David Koresh).
Today we'll watch an episode of Criminal Minds from Season 4..."Minimal Loss". In the episode two members of the BAU, Reid and Prentiss, are sent in undercover to investigate an alleged child abuse at an isolated property which is the home of a religious cult led by the charismatic Benjamin Cyrus. The real aim is to not only ascertain whether or not this is true, but also to look into the cult as a whole. The rest of the BAU, along with a plethora of other law enforcement agencies, are planning a raid on the compound, but when Cyrus gets wind of this, he imposes a lock down and unleashes a cache of weapons which make it pretty clear that he has no intention of being taken alive ... and the same goes for his 'loyal' followers as well.
There are echoes to Waco Texas and David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians.
D Block Law - After being arrested, a person may be released on the spot. This may be when police officers believe that the accused presents no further danger and will appear on the trial date. Others are taken to the police station, where the police record the criminal charges and take fingerprints and photographs. Some of these people will also be released, usually if they are charged with less serious offences. If the police believe that an accused may commit further offences, is a threat to the victim or witness, will interfere with the investigation, or will not appear in court, she or he may be detained until a bail hearing takes place.
So, we'll talk about bail and judicial release procedures and then I'll need you to define Bail, Recognizance and Undertaking and complete questions 4 from page 164 along with 3 and 5 from page 178 of the All About Law text.
Just so you know...this is not legal in Canada
