They use sugar, salt and liquid fat to make foods as addictive as narcotics. In this report, CBC health reporter Kelly Crowe investigates how the food industry is manipulating consumers — all for the bottom line.

http://www.learn360.com/ShowVideo.aspx?ID=1168060&player=13

Grade(s): 6-8
Run Time: [41:00]
This two-part program allows the extraordinary opportunity to re-visit a very tumultuous time in Canada's history with one of our most controversial figures in a trial re-enactment prepared and presented by four prominent litigators. In the first part, the case is argued by Edward Greenspan for the defence and Alan Lenczner for the prosecution, and is presented before former B.C. Supreme Court judge, Thomas Berger. Guy Bertrand, a lawyer from Quebec plays Riel. The trial follows normal proceedings with both lawyers presenting their arguments, cross-examining "Riel" and giving their closing arguments, and the judge giving his summation of the case. The verdict, as voted by Canadians via the Internet following the original broadcast, is announced and discussed in the second part of the program. In the second part, an audience of Metis of all ages and backgrounds, including descendents of Riel, meet in an open forum to discuss the life and legacy of Riel.

Before You Apply: Resumes, Portfolios, and Your Online Persona

Grade(s): 9-12
Run Time: [27:21]
Job hunting is about selling yourself-but to make a sale, you have to advertise. From traditional paper resumes to new-media methods of self-promotion, this video explores the best ways for applicants to showcase their talents, accomplishments, and potential value to employers. An in-depth discussion of resume strategy highlights objectives, structure, formatting (both hard copy and electronic), and proofreading, followed by read-aloud examples that help clarify what employers do and don't like to see. Next comes a detailed look at creating work sample presentations, from basic notebook and photo-album layouts to digital and online portfolios. Visual demos show what might work in industries such as marketing, construction, and culinary arts. Finally, viewers are reminded that social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn are powerful promotional tools, if used wisely and professionally.
