This volume comprises papers and addresses presented before this Society during the last four years, from September, 1904, and biographic memorials of its members who have died during the years 1905 to 1908. Besides the addresses here published, several others have been presented in the meetings of the Society, which are otherwise published, wholly or in part, or are expected later to form parts of more extended publications, as follows. Professor William W. Folwell, in the Council Meeting on May 14, 1906, read a paper entitled “A New View of the Sioux Treaties of 1851”; and in the Annual Meeting of the Society on January 13, 1908, he presented an address, “The Minnesota Constitutional Conventions of 1857.” These addresses are partially embodied in his admirable concise history, “Minnesota, the North Star State,” published in October, 1908, by the Houghton Mifflin Company as a volume of 382 pages in their series of American Commonwealths.

    The corporate neighbor 5/18/10 10:34 AM CAMPUS The corporate neighbor A growing corporate structure to the landlord model is outpacing some city and University tools used to keep an eye on rental property owners. As more homes in the University district become rental property, it might surprise you to find out who your neighbor is. PUBLISHED: 09/20/2009 ALEX EBERT [email protected] This story incorrectly stated the name for a limited liability company, abbreviated LLC. It referred to an LLC as a limited liability corporation, which is a commonly used term for the organization, but not the proper name. By most standards, 1231 8th Street SE doesn’t look like a business. Signs of residential life — furniture on the porch, a few beverage cans here and there — point to this being an average student rental home. But this house and 1221 8th Street S.E., a duplex two doors down, are more corporate than what meets the eye. They are both registered in the name of two different corporations and run by two different people, but both are technically owned by Jim Eischens, whose business illustrates the complexity of the campus rental property system.

It 1 s the first systematic attempt I've seen to evaluate the effects of some of our efforts in the Department of University Relations-­ and the first I've seen, as a matter of fact, anywhere in Central Administration, although I'm sure other evaluation studies must exist. An evaluation study, obviously, should be the first step in initiating changes in ways of doing things and changes in overall direction and expenditure of effort. Some changes have already occurred in the News Service, based on Miss Vick's recommendations--for example~ news releases are now being sent directly to the outstate weeklies and dailies rather than being a part of the Minnesota Newspaper Association's weekly packet. Other changes are being contemplated and your comments on the report or its subject matter would be welcomed as additional information on which to base such decisions. We think, for instance, that a good deal of additional effort and money could well be spent in backgrounding outstate editors and providing them with hometown stories about students at the U of n--but we must, of course, ask whether the effort would be worthwhile in relation to other ways in which we could {and do} spend our money.

    Prospect Park/University Area Supplemental Historic Property Investigations and Evaluations for CCLRT Project Prospect Park/University Area Hess, Roise and Company—Page 147 A Brief Historic Overview of the Landscape Features of the Prospect Park Historic District Prospect Park entrance marker in the Malcolm-University triangle. Photo: Marjorie Pearson Background The Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis was the subject of a survey and study for National Register of Historic Places eligibility in 2001. The landscape of Prospect Park and various features, among them, Tower Hill Park and the landscaped triangles at the intersections of several curvilinear streets including Malcolm and Clarence by University Avenue, are identified as important contributing features of the National Register-eligible Prospect Park Historic District. 82 Several of these triangles may be impacted because of changes in traffic patterns that result from the construction of the CCLRT line along University Avenue. 82 Marjorie Pearson, “Prospect Park, Minneapolis: An Historical Survey,” October 2001, prepared by Hess, Roise and Company for the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission and Prospect Park East River Road Neighborhood Improvement Association, 26-27.

  • Selected Findings from the IPBES Global Assessment on Biodiversity
    Selected findings from the IPBES Global Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services House Committee on Space, Science and Technology Nature in Crisis: Biodiversity Loss and its Causes, June 4 2019 Dr. Kate Brauman, Coordinating Lead Author of the IPBES Global Assessment Lead Scientist, Global Water Initiative at the University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment I would like to thank the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology for the opportunity to provide a testimony based on the global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystem services of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). This testimony complements that provided by Sir Robert Watson. In response to the request of the Committee, this testimony addresses: 1) major findings of the IPBES report related to trends in ecosystems services and how they are affected by the drivers of biodiversity loss, 2) issues of biodiversity in agriculture and ecosystem service benefits provided by non-marine ecosystems, 3) potential solutions identified in the IPBES Global Assessment, and 4) research gaps related to ecosystem services. 1) Trends in ecosystems services and how they are affected by the drivers of biodiversity loss Since 1970, trends in agricultural production, fish harvest, bioenergy production and harvest of materials have increased, but 14 of the 18 categories of contributions of nature that were assessed, mostly regulating and non-material contributions, have declined. The value of agricultural crop production ($2.6 trillion in 2016) has increased approximately threefold since 1970, and raw timber harvest has increased by 45 per cent, reaching some 4 billion cubic meters in 2017, with the forestry industry providing about 13.2 million jobs.
