others, that the Norwegian industry contested the tariffs in the latest sunset review Although tariffs on salmon entering the US from Norway may not be an issue that will necessarily affect a large number of Norwegians, it is the bigger picture that is important This is an issue that has acted as trade hurdle for one of Norway’s largest industries for over 20 years What this case of antidumping

Welcome to the Tre Lag Stevne in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were last in the Twin Cities area in 2009 in this same location. In a metropolitan area of this size it is not as easy to see the results of the Norwegian immigration as in smaller towns and rural communities. But the evidence is there if you look for it. This year’s speakers will tell the story of the Norwegians who contributed to the richness of American culture through literature, art, architecture, politics, medicine and science. You may recognize a few of their names, but many are unsung heroes who quietly added strands to the fabric of America and the world. We hope to astonish you with the diversity of their talents. Our tour will take us to the first Norwegian church in America, which was moved from Muskego, Wisconsin to the grounds of Luther Seminary,. We’ll stop at Mindekirken, established in 1922 with the mission of retaining Norwegian heritage. It continues that mission today. We will also visit Norway House, the newest organization to promote Norwegian connectedness. Enjoy the program, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and continue to learn about our shared heritage.

    VESTERHEIM IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE: THE HYPHENATED NORWEGIAN- AMERICAN AND REGIONAL IDENTITY IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, 1890-1950 By HANS-PETTER GRAV A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of History MAY 2018 © Copyright by HANS-PETTER GRAV, 2018 All Rights Reserved © Copyright by HANS-PETTER GRAV, 2018 All Rights Reserved To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the dissertation of HANS-PETTER GRAV find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted. LAURIE MERCIER, Ph.D., Chair ROBERT BAUMAN, Ph.D. JEFFREY SANDERS, Ph.D. LUZ MARIA GORDILLO, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation has been many years in the making. It all began in 2004 at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. Chandra Manning, Gina Hames, Carlton Benson, and Beth Kraig instilled in me a desire to pursue history as a profession. I completed a second major in history during the course of one academic year, and I do not believe I could have done it that quickly without the encouragement of Chuck Nelson and David Gerry at the Office of International Student Services. Important during my time at PLU was also the support of Helen Rogers, a close friend and an experienced history major. While my interest in Norwegian Americans’ relationship with Norway and Norwegian culture began during my time at PLU, it was during my years pursuing a Master’s degree at Montana State University in Bozeman that this project began to take shape.

What we can see, however, is a charging bull – one with its horns locked on rental growth. — The Norwegian economy is doing better than we anticipated six months ago, and activity seems to be particularly good in Oslo. Strong employment growth should increase the demand for office space, and the limited availability of attractive vacant space is paving the way for significant rental growth. Despite our general caution in applying cycle analysis to the CRE market, we must admit that our sense is that we are facing a late cycle rental uplift.
