Shared Housing

Where is the best place to find shared housing in Victoria, BC?

I am attending college in Victoria this fall. I’m looking for an apartment to share with other people (I know no one in Victoria). Craigslist proved to be a dead end. Anyone know of any good reliable sites to check out ads for people seeking a roommate?

Get in contact with the college you are attending, or contact Camosun College and/or Uvic…see if they have any info that can help you!

I believe that Uvic has a website with a list of people who have housing and people looking for housemates ect…Camosun may have the same thing…

Good luck!

Shared Universe $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A shared universe is a fictional universe to which more than one writer contributes. Work set in a shared universe share characters and other elements with varying degrees of consistency. Shared universes are contrasted with collaborative writing, in which multiple authors work on a single story. Shared universes are more common in fantasy and science fiction than in other genres. Examples include the Star Trek, DC Universe, Marvel Universe, Star Wars, Forgotten Realms, Foundation series, Power Rangers, ManKzin Wars, and Cthulhu Mythos. A teen summer camp called Shared Worlds, started by author Jeff VanderMeer, is based around this concept. The term has also been used in a wider, nonliterary sense to convey interdisciplinary or social commonality, often in the context of a shared universe of discourse.

Shared Wisdom $18 “Understanding one’s personal issues and emotional reactions- one’s “countertransference”- has long been recognized as a core competency in ministry. Now new understandings of intersubjectivity, mutual influence, shared wisdom (both conscious and unconscious), and multicultural dynamics in the caring relationship are bringing promising new possibilities and challenges to pastoral practice. Employing these insights, in this groundbreaking book Pamela Cooper-White offers a new relational paradigm for pastoral assessment and theological reflection. She uses the caregiver’s own responses and feelings as a primary instrument for deepening discernment and better care. She innovatively combines postmodern, psychoanalytic, and theological perspectives with illuminating case studies to illustrate this new use of the self in pastoral care, counseling, and psychotherapy.”

A case study of the social and educational experiences of homeless children. $69 The literature on homeless families is limited and the voices of children experiencing homelessness are largely absent. This research study intends to provide an in-depth analysis of the lived experiences of school-age homeless children in an urban, family emergency housing shelter. This study employed qualitative methodology. All of the participants in this case study were residents of a family emergency housing shelter in a large metropolitan area in the Southeastern United States. The emergency housing shelter contained a pre-school/daycare and fourteen bedrooms with individual bathrooms. Residents shared common living spaces and kitchen facilities.;Bronfenbrenner’s (2005) bioecological systems theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. Additionally, both a social constructivist and a critical interpretivist lens guided this research. Based on qualitative inquiry, a case study research design was used to examine the social and educational experiences of school-age children residing in an urban, family homeless shelter. This case study research design used an ethnographic approach. The study employed semi-structured interviews, participant observations and document analysis.

Anthropolis – A Tale of Two Cities $4.75 “You mean there ain’t no cars here!” Jay Jones’ initial reaction may well be shared by the reader. It will soon be forgotten in the adventure of exploring Anthropolis, a utopian community in the mountains of Colorado. Anthropolis – A Tale of Two Cities is a contemporary utopian novel in the spirit of Callenbach’s Ecotopia and Bellamy’s Looking Backward. It embodies a broad social commentary on contemporary politics, economics, education, health, social policy, urban design, housing, environmental issues and personal values which challenges accepted conventions and assumptions. Anthropolis’ premise is that the world’s ecological and social problems will not be resolved by some grandiose technological “fix”. Rather, individuals and communities must rethink priorities, values and responsibilities: long-term solutions to environmental and social problems require significant changes in institutions and lifestyle. A more humane, people-sensitive world presupposes physical, political, social and economic systems committed to people rather than to abstract concepts. Anthropolis envisions a sustainable urban society offering a qualitatively better life for its residents and reverent accommodation with the natural environment. The story takes place in Anthropolis, an auto-free city in the mountains of Colorado, during the 2020 World Peace Conference. Anthropolis was selected to host the conference on global social and environmental problems in recognition of its environmental leadership. Professors John Jones of Atlanta and Caleb Smith of Anthropolis collaborate on a presentation comparing the experiences of Atlanta and Anthropolis in adapting to the challenges of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. Anthropolis’ raison d’être is a more rational approach to human and ecological issues; Atlanta faces successive crises hampered by an infrastructure built during the era of cheap energy.

As Long as They Don’t Move Next Door: Segregation and Racial Conflict in American Neighborhoods $28.95 Despite the commonly held perception that most northern citizens embraced racial equality, As Long As They Don’t Move Next Door graphically demonstrates the variety of methods_including violence and intimidation, unjust laws, restrictive covenants, discrimination by realtors and mortgage lenders, and white flight to suburban enclaves—used by whites to thwart the racial integration of their neighborhoods. Author Stephen Grant Meyer offers the first full length national history of American race relations examined through the lens of housing discrimination, and he forces readers to confront and re-evaluate the deep and enduring division between the races. Although this is a discomforting analysis, which concludes that housing discrimination still exists, it is only a clearer understanding of our shared racial past that will enable Americans to create a successful prescription for fighting intolerance. An original and captivating study that illuminates overlooked groups and individuals committed to the national struggle for civil rights, this is important reading for anyone interested in African-American history.

Authentic happiness and religious coping for displaced African Americans three years after Hurricane Katrina. $49.99 The purpose of this study was to better understand the role that religion and belief in God has played in the psychological recovery process for members of the African American community displaced by Hurricane Katrina. This study, which was done in collaboration with Lindsay Henderson (2009), was carried out after several years of regularly providing volunteer services to survivors of Hurricane Katrina in the Baton Rouge area, and was conducted with the support of local colleagues. Fifty religiously identifying participants who had utilized FEMA housing services in the Baton Rouge, LA area were given The Religious Problem Solving Scale and the Authentic Happiness Scale, which were correlated to determine a relationship between reported happiness and religious coping style. Additionally, 15 of the participants were asked a series of three qualitative interview questions concerning religious coping through Hurricane Katrina and changes in relationship with God. Only two of the questions were analyzed for the present study; a third was analyzed by Lindsay Henderson, with whom I shared the interviewing process. No correlation was found between levels of happiness and religious problem-solving style, but significant positive correlations were found between age and relative happiness, and between the levels of reported happiness and styles of religious coping. The overall levels of reported happiness were found to be slightly higher than those of a general population sample, and a new ‘mixed’ religious coping style was identified. In addition, 9 of the 15 interviewed subjects reported experiencing a strengthened relationship with God as a result of surviving the hurricane. Participants’ narratives generally indicated the occurrence of a Post-Traumatic Growth phenomenon and the use of religious reframing to achieve this. Implications of these findings for clinicians and researchers working cross-culturally with low-income African Americans as well as with other

Buxton: A Black Utopia in the Heartland, an Expanded Edition $24 FROM 1900 until the early 1920s, an unusual community existed in America’s heartland–Buxton, Iowa. Originally established by the Consolidation Coal Company, Buxton was the largest unincorporated coal-mining community in Iowa. What made Buxton unique, however, is the fact that the majority of its five thousand residents were African Americans-a highly unusual racial composition for a state which was over 90 percent white. At a time when both southern and northern blacks were disadvantaged and oppressed, blacks in Buxton enjoyed true racial integration-steady employment, above-average wages, decent housing, and minimal discrimination. For such reasons, Buxton was commonly known as the black man’s utopia in Iowa. Containing documentary evidence-including newspaper reports, census records, photographs, and state mining reports-along with interviews with seventy-five former residents, Buxton: Work and Racial Equality in a Coal Mining Community (originally published in 1987 and winner of the 1988 Benjamin Shambaugh Award) explored the Buxton experience from a variety of perspectives. The authors-an American historian, a family sociologist, and a race relations sociologist-provided a truly interdisciplinary history of a unique community. Now, eighty years after the town’s demise and sixteen years after Buxton’s original publication, the history of this Iowa town remains a compelling story that continues to capture people’s imaginations. In Buxton: A Black Utopia in the Heartland, the authors offer further reflections upon their original study and the many former Buxton residents who shared their memories. In a new essay, A Buxton Perspective, they address issues such as social class andthe town’s continuing legacy. The voices captured in Buxton, although recorded over twenty years ago, still resonate with exuberance, affection, and poignancy; this expanded edition will bring their amazing stories back to the forefront of Iowa and American history.

Caracas Litoral, Venezuela $1.21 Caracas Litoral, Venezuela looks at the challenges, obstacles, and opportunities facing the reconstruction of coastal communities near Caracas, after mudslides devastated these areas in December 1999. Already in the midst of informal land development, affluent weekend residents from Caracas had awkwardly occupied this dramatic and precarious strip of coastland between the Gulf of Mexico and the Avila Mountain– also shared with the national airport and second largest seaport. In a city where most of the urban population lives in informal housing, the contested nature of redevelopment– emergent social, economic, and cultural patterns confronting traditional patterns of settlement– could easily be predicted. Fully bilingual, in English and Spanish, this book explores opportunities that unite the various constituencies through innovative programming, sustainable geological/hydrological infrastructure, and economically viable housing and commercial development.

Chances Of Success $25.68 It is true, that but for him who borrows, and risks, and labors, the world would hardly move forward. It is equally true, that if there were no borrowers, there would be no profit to the lenders. Being so essential to each other, both are essential to the world’s progress. But the world would be happier if he who borrowed did so more carefully; realized his danger more acutely, and risked less for his own sake, as well as for the sake of him who lends.-from “The Elements of Success” The diverse career of Canadian-American businessman and journalist ERASTUS WIMAN (1834-1904) encompassed a stint as a reporter for the newspaper the Toronto Globe, the presidency Canada’s Great Northwestern telegraph company and later of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad, and a successful campaign to eliminate imprisonment for debtors in New York State. In 1893, he shared the fruits of his long, wide experience in this collection of essays on business, society, and living a successful life. In a charmingly rambling style, Wiman steps forward as an advocate for such assorted issues as a close commercial union between Canada and the United States, and the arrival of women into the white-collar workplace. He discusses everything from the dramatic influence of electricity on industry and the power of the housing market to transform an economy to the business lessons to be learned from Buffalo Bill to man’s place as a parasite of the cow. An extraordinary work by a uniquely influential and knowledgeable character, this is full of surprising and delightful insight.

Charting the Course: Values for Navigating Life in the Marketplace $11.01 Why is it that the same economic forces that produce good things for us like penicillin and housing are just as effective at bringing us things like pornography and heroin? How can the same systems of production generate such a wide array of good and bad outcomes? Markets are morally neutral. But people are not. Markets recognize no moral difference between good and evil. Markets don’t inherently recognize any values other than those brought by men and women to the marketplace each and every day. At the core of the market system is a concept of value that says things are worth what I, the individual, say they are worth. We can have a deep respect for the power of markets to efficiently and effectively produce goods and services that increase society’s standard of living. But should we uncritically embrace a system that has as its most foundational principle, a concept of value that is so intensely humanistic, egocentric and relativistic? There is a way forward. While it is true that markets have no values, they are wonderful mirrors for reflecting the values that people bring to the marketplace each and every day. If people bring the right values, then markets will produce the right outcomes. People from all walks of life have a shared vision for the economic world in which they want to live. We do know what is right. The task before us is to take what we know and apply these practical principles in daily economic life.
