family units throughout history. Until the mid 1980’s, domestic violence was thought to be the families problem, a dirty little secret that needed to be dealt with inside the family circle. This mind set changed when a notable study was done in the Minneapolis Minnesota area in the 1980’s. This study not only impacted the actual area it was conducted in, but the way domestic violence offenders were dealt with by police officers across the country. Significant studies have been done since the 1980’s,
GoDaddy.com: A Nightmare for Dogs and Rhetoric Alike Try logging onto Facebook or watching TV without seeing a video relating to a dog.

In downtown Minneapolis, the Foshay Tower stands as an important part of Minnesotan history, as a building once distinct in its height. Located on Marquette Avenue, it was once considered the tallest building in Minneapolis, before being surpassed by skyscrapers that were constructed years later. The building was constructed largely by Wilbur Foshay, who made a name for himself first in buying water and electric utilities throughout the midwest, and later by being convicted of mail fraud. The building

Arc Value Village: Arc Value Village is a non-profit store that donates its proceeds from its sales of donated objects to Arc Greater Twin Cities programs. Which then is used to provide aid for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. At Arc, I worked mostly on the floor stocking items in various sections the first day. Towards the end of that, I was pulled aside to organize the picture frame/scrapbooking section and the lamp section. Overall, I worked around

Cities in Minnesota. The “Twin Cities” refers to Minneapolis and St. Paul. Only divided by a river (or in some cases, just a street), these cities are of equal, yet different importance in Minnesota culture. My experiences spending time in the two cities have led me to live in duel cultures. While many people live in a duality of cultures through their ethnicity, I identify with duel cultures based on geography. My experiences in both Minneapolis and St. Paul contribute to my ambivalence regarding

We’ve all bought a 16.9 ounce bottle of water at the local store, but what is the impact of that purchase? The three main reasons people purchase bottled water are because it’s healthy, convenient, and tastes good. However, the same bottle of water can also be a waste of resources, harmful to the environment, and come from the same source as municipal water. Bottled water is an unnecessary indulgence that has a detrimental impact on the environment and society’s health. Therefore, bottled water

Workers faced sweatshop conditions, low wages, long hours, and the constant threat of being laid off. The conditions of the coal industry in Minneapolis were typical for the time.

The unequal heating of the earth by the sun is due to the earth’s relationship with the sun and the solar energy that the sun provides. One of the key factors that influences the unequal heating is due to the angle at which the sun hits earth. Earth is shaped as an oblate sphere that rotates around its tilted 23-degree axis from east to west. One rotation around its axis is twenty-four hours, or one day. The earth also rotates around the sun as a revolution or a year. Depending on the earth’s orbit
the information uncovered by Ehrenreich. The purpose of the Evaluation was to highlight key social problems apparent in the field findings of the three cities Ehrenreich visited.

The process of contraction saw the league's smaller-city franchises move to larger cities. The Hawks shifted from
Valerie and I just sat still as it was too much work for us to try and squeeze in with a six-month-old baby. To our amazement, we heard over the sound system, “anyone wanting to go to Minneapolis with a baby; please come to the departure gate.” Our destination was Chicago, but under the circumstances, Minneapolis seemed a lot closer than Spokane, so we went to the gate. By God’s grace, we were the first people to board the first plane out of the airport as those we had shared with the day before
women’s college basketball team, the Connecticut Huskies. This trip was one of the most exciting trips I’ve been on and the first airplane trip I remember! One morning in January my mother and I drove to Rapid City airport to get on a flight to Minneapolis. In order to get through security and such, we needed to get there really early. When we arrived we went through security, which took what seemed like 2 hours, and went to go get food and drinks while we waited. Outside the weather was nice, but
