  • Sex Trafficking in the Twin Ports by Terri
    Sex Trafficking in the Twin Ports Sex Trafficking in the Twin Ports Terri Hom, Social Work Dr. Monica Roth Day, Department of Human Behavior and Diversity ABSTRACT More than 600 Minnesota women and children were trafficked over a three year period and more than half from one minority group (LaFave, 2009). Specific services need to be available for victims of sex trafficking in the Twin Ports. This study explored whether there are services available for victims of sex trafficking. The research showed that sex trafficking is a growing problem and that sex trafficking victims could be supported by improving or implementing services. This information can be provided to Twin Ports agencies to determine additional services or changes in current services to support victims of sex trafficking. Introduction Problem Statement This study was a needs assessment of services available to victims of sex trafficking in the Twin Ports (Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin). The intent was to determine if services exist for sex trafficking victims. A study done by The Advocates for Human Rights a non-profit organization, showed that more than 600 Minnesota women and children were trafficked over a three year period and more than half from one minority group (LaFave, 2009). The devastating effects on sex trafficking victims are immediate and long term and thus specific services are required for support and rehabilitation. These services have not been found to be prominent in human service organizations. The research question asked was “What services are available for victims of sex trafficking in the Twin Ports?” to determine if services are offered in the Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin urban area.

  • The White City by Miles Clements the RUINS of the Echo Mountain
    The White City by Miles Clements THE RUINS of the Echo Mountain House appear like a low-budget Machu Picchu wrapped in smog, like a run-down Hollywood stand-in for some lost civilization. The building’s stone base, now crumbling into the mountain’s topsoil, traces the outline of the spot where the elaborate Victorian hotel once stood. In place of its seventy grand rooms are patches of overgrown chaparral and a pair of scorched pines. Sagebrush lizards dash through what was once the ornate lobby while a bluebird flies circles in the sky. At the site of the ruined structure, day hikers come and go. Some sit on the remaining tracks of the Mount Lowe Railway, taking in the obscured vistas of the Los Angeles basin and the San Gabriel Valley. Others, more intent on exploration, head to the strategically placed “Echophones” and shout into the megaphone-like devices, waiting for their voices to careen off the canyon walls. As the hikers’ yells slowly fade into the mountainside, a family of six ascends the granite staircase leading to the Echo Mountain House. They mill about the former chateau, taking pictures and eating granola bars. But after about fifteen minutes and a few swigs of water, the mother, donning a green Nike sweatshirt, corrals the family back into a small cluster. Walking past graffiti-covered plaques and huge, rusting railroad equipment, they head down the mountain and pack into their minivan, leaving their brief contact with the Echo Mountain House behind, surely taking only a few scant memories with them on their way back to the stucco houses and well-maintained lawns of Los Angeles’ suburbs.

  • Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok Breakers and Panelboards
    Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok Breakers and Panelboards HSB, part of Munich Re, is a What is the best course of action when discovered? technology-driven company built on a foundation of specialty insurance, engineering and technology, all Federal Pacific Electric Company (FPE) manufactured many electrical products working together to drive innovation while in business including a panelboard and breaker line called Stab-Lok. The in a modern world. Stab-Lok products are no longer manufactured, but millions had been installed in residential and commercial buildings between 1950 and 1985. The purpose of the breaker is to protect the building from fire in the event of an electrical circuit abnormality. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) investigated many reports in 1982 of Stab-Lok breakers failing to trip as required by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) testing standards. The CPSC did not have the funding to further investigate this problem or arrive at a definitive conclusion. Tests by the CPSC and independent consulting engineers concluded that certain Stab-Lok breakers do not trip according to UL requirements and in some cases, can jam in the “on” position. In addition, overheating problems have been found within the panelboard internal bus connections. Unfortunately, this information surfaced after many Stab-Lokinstallations were completed and had been in service for years. In 2002, a New Jersey class-action lawsuit decided that the manufacturer of the Stab-Lok breakers committed fraud over many years in issuing UL labels to products they knew did not meet the UL testing requirements. HSB Page 2/2 Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok Breakers and Panelboards The National Electrical Code requires that all installed products must be listed and labeled by an independent testing agency to be acceptable for the intended use.
