During the two hour mock interview exercise students not only get to be interviewed by real life employers, they are given feedback as to their performance with suggestions on how to improve their presentations and chances for employment. The ses- sions are held twice a year for seniors and are a built in part of their English curriculum. The students learn how to prepare a resume, how to dress, and how to present themselves to future employers. Two students attend each interview. One will observe his classmate while the other student interviews. They will rotate around the room, from interviewer to interviewer, and will reverse roles at the next interview table. The students are able to participate in at least four interviews during the exercise. This training is considered important enough for District Superintendent Dr Ralph Porras to participate in the interview exercise.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Youth Homelessness in Canada
    LEGAL & JUSTICE ISSUES Policing Street Youth in Toronto 20 Bill O’Grady, Stephen Gaetz, Kristy Buccieri Get rid of the crooked ones, the rude ones that walk by. I have a lot of homeless friends and I’ve seen police walk by and just treat them like dirt on their shoe. That’s wrong. Some people don’t ask to be homeless and police just treat them like pieces of shit. It’s wrong in many ways. (Female street youth) In 2003 the city of Toronto launched an advertising campaign to combat the negative press it received due to SARS (City of Toronto, n.d.). As part of this initiative, the new slogan, “Toronto: You Belong Here” was created. The goal of this campaign was to revive the struggling tourism industry and bring new visitors into the city. Yet, despite this warm and inclusive sentiment, the city of Toronto has not always strived to create a welcoming environment for all. In a re­ cent interview with the Toronto Sun, Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday made it clear that homeless individuals do not belong in Toronto. He was quoted as saying, I don’t know if it’s a matter of tossing them in jail but it’s letting them know they’re not allowed to utilize public space [in a way] that makes it their own. I know in New York City, they don’t allow people to sleep on sidewalks or public benches and they move them on. We should look at what other jurisdictions are doing (as cited in Yuen, 2011).

  • Dixy Lee Ray, Marine Biology, and the Public Understanding of Science in the United States (1930-1970)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Erik Ellis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the History of Science presented on November 21. 2005. Title: Dixy Lee Ray. Marine Biology, and the Public Understanding of Science in the United States (1930-1970) Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the l950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context for studying and analyzing scientists' motivations during the period of the early Cold War in the United States. The dissertation is informed throughout by the notion that science is a deeply embedded aspect of Western culture. To understand American science and society in the mid twentieth century it is instructive, then, to analyze individuals who were seen as influential and who reflected widely held cultural values at that time. Dixy Lee Ray was one of those individuals. Yet, instead of remaining a prominent and enduring figure in American history, she has disappeared rapidly from historical memory, and especially from the history of science. It is this very characteristic of reflecting her time, rather than possessing a timeless appeal, that makes Ray an effective historical guide into the recent past. Her career brings into focus some of the significant ways in which American science and society shifted over the course of the Cold War. Beginning with Ray's early life in West Coast society of the1920sandl930s, this study traces Ray's formal education, her entry into the professional ranks of marine biology and the crucial role she played in broadening the scope of biological oceanography in the early1960s.The dissertation then analyzes Ray's efforts in public science education, through educational television, at the science and technology themed Seattle World's Fair, and finally in her leadership of the Pacific Science Center.

  • Homeless People's Trust and Interactions with Police And
    Journal of Urban Health: Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, Vol. 81, No. 4, The New York Academy of Medicine 2004; all rights reserved. doi:10.1093/jurban/jth143 Homeless People’s Trust and Interactions With Police and Paramedics Tanya L. Zakrison, Paul A. Hamel, and Stephen W. Hwang ABSTRACT Although the health impact of patients’ trust in physicians has been well documented, less is known about the possible health effects of trust in police or para- medics. Homeless people frequently interact with police officers and paramedics, and these experiences may affect their health and future willingness to seek emergency assistance. We examined homeless people’s self-reported interactions with police and paramedics in Toronto, Canada, and their level of trust in these emergency service pro- viders. In a sample of 160 shelter users, 61% had interacted with police in the last 12 months, and 37% had interacted with paramedics (P = .0001). The proportion of sub- jects who expressed willingness to call police in an emergency was significantly lower than those willing to call paramedics in an emergency (69% vs. 92%, P = .0001). On a Likert scale ranging from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 5, trust levels were lower in police than in paramedics (median level 3 vs. 5, P = .0001). Among shelter users, 9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5% to 14%) reported an assault by a police officer in the last year, and 0% (95% CI, 0% to 4%) reported an assault by a paramedic. These findings showed that homeless people have much lower levels of trust in police than paramedics.

  • Safe Streets for Whom?
    Running head: Safe Streets for Whom? Safe Streets for Whom: An in-depth look at the Harms Associated with the Safe Streets Act By Kaitiee Christina Fleming A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, Honours Criminology. April, 2019, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright © Kaitiee Christina Fleming Approved: Dr. Rachael E. Collins Assistant Professor Date: April 3rd, 2019 Safe Streets for Whom? Safe Streets for Whom: An in-depth look at the Harms Associated with the Safe Streets Act by Kaitiee Fleming Abstract Homelessness is a problem that exists in every city around the world. Citizens want this problem to go away, but instead the homeless population continues to grow. The laws that are put in place in cities are supposed to help citizens – most times they do, but people living in poverty rarely receive the help they need, instead undergoing harm. This thesis examines the Safe Streets Act and the harms that laws can bring to people experiencing homelessness or poverty. This study analyzed literature that looked at the components of the Safe Streets Act, as well as the harms that can come from the Act or similar laws. Two face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with personnel who work with people experiencing homeless, both in different capacities. Results were gathered by looking at four different themes that appeared frequently throughout the literature, as well as in the interviews. Based on the research, the study concludes that my results agree with existing literature on the harms of laws.
