Decades ago it was in vogue for mental health workers to make detailed and lengthy lists of different types of mania: cleptomania, tricotillomania, and the like. Some of these labels persist and are used today; most have fallen into disuse. I would like to find a good listing of these many interesting (sometimes amusing) labels. The name of a mania for waxing litigous is especially desired. Hope you can help.

Can you get this book? :There is a book I own called Cruel and Usual Punishment, The terrifying Implications of Islamic Law by Nonie Darwish. She was a Muslim raised in Egypt and Gaza for 30 years and although she cares deeply for Muslims (especially the women) she has concern about what is coming. This book is in high demand right now, through me!I just got it back after almost a year and am about 1/2 way through. My sister borrowed it before I'd even read it, lent it to several of her colleagues (she teaches at Red Deer College) then got it back to another sister in Calgary where the process was repeated. I now have 7 people on my waiting list!

Question 84556 asked on 2011-09-27 14:36:46

I'm writing to you as both a student and as a practitioner. As a student, it's interesting to engage with all sorts of social media tools; read scholarly papers and research; Tweet; and develop blogs, wikis, web strategy/social media plans, and other means of disseminating information. As a communications specialist working for a polytechnic, I am particularly interested in finding out about best practices using social media in higher education. I read an article this week entitled "Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Notre Dame among the top schools for social media" (http://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/9577.aspx). Given my work as a communications specialist, I am wondering whether you can provide me with some information on how post-secondary institutions use social media to engage prospects/donors (with a view to receiving either gifts in kind, or funds for bursaries and scholarships) industry and business partners (those who offer work placements to students enrolled in cooperative education programs, for example) alumni and alumni chapters I would also be interested in any additional information you may have about best practices with respect to developing and implementing a social media strategy for this type of stakeholder engagement.

Hi there, I would like to find out what percentage of crime is caused by renters versus homeowners.

The area I am looking at is Calgary within the past ten years, although I would be all right with Alberta. I have tried Googling, but not having much luck. Thanks!

Hello, I am looking for an estimate of the number of graphic designers by larger cities in Canada. I've sliced and diced the Stats Canada website looking for Job Code 5241.. which is the closest category I can find... but can't find any relevant reports of charts. What I am looking to do is compare the ration of graphic design professionals per capita across Canada. I did contact the Edmonton Public Library, who referred me to this link... so I'm not sure the Postal Code is very relevant. College-wise, NAIT may have some research of their own, but probably only for Alberta. Thanks for your help. [deleted]
