The Haverstock Hill and Maldon Road Provident Dispensary in London was founded in 1865 and is a good example of how a provident Dispensary was run. • there were two Funds within the Dispensary: the Free Members' Fund formed by the monthly subscriptions of the 'free' members; and the Honorary Fund that was supported by the affluent residents. The Honorary Fund paid for the working expenses, rent, furniture, coal, gas, dispenser's salary and, (rather surprisingly), quinine and cod liver oil.…

Through fighting, enforcers protect star players from being injured or from taking cheap shots from the opposition. For example, knowing that a player like Dave Semenko would be ready to fight kept opposing players from taking liberties against the Edmonton Oilers’ superstar Wayne Gretzky, one of the best players in NHL history.

The cultural construction of rape, or rape culture, is a somewhat misunderstood term in mainstream society. Many people shy away from the expression because it seems at first glance to demonize all men as evil predators. In reality, however, rape culture refers to a much broader social phenomenon that addresses both men and women. In an article for the Globe and Mail, for instance, Jordan Venton-Rublee defines a rape culture as “the environment that puts the onus on the victim, not the…

The mainstream media holds an important role in the distribution of information and the construction of criminality and the criminal justice system. Public perceptions are formed by journalists and news reporter’s portrayals of victims and criminals in the news media. They focus on the drama of the crime story rather than the content, resulting in the skewing of reality. Within the context of Canada, a researcher at the Université du Québec à Montréal revealed that 95% of news reporters use the…

And now onto the next problem: where on earth are you going to park! It is true, that current transportation in Hamilton makes it extremely difficult to get around the city, especially in…

I have a friend from Southern California, and she told me she did not even know we were in a drought. When she said that I was shocked, I thought how could she possibly not know? After reading the chapter China Town, in the book Cadillac Dessert by Marc Reisner, I finally got my answer. How could she have known there was a drought when almost all the water in California gets pumped down to the heavily populated desert area. The chapter begins with some background. The author states that…
