Traveling on a Marshall Memorial Fellowship, I visited Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Belgrade, Brussels to observe the conditions of African immigrants and refugees in these European capitals and share the strategies that have succeeded in catalyzing upward mobility among the Twin Cities’ own African population. In summer, I and ADC outreach coordinator Nimo Farah accompanied Minneapolis City Council Member Robert Lilligren to Sweden and Norway, where we presented our local success stories to civic leaders helping Somali refugees in Northern Europe. In May, I addressed the need for new financing products tailored to observant Muslims at a workshop sponsored by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and hosted by the Minnesota Bankers Association.

  • Skier Asks for Inclusive Timing Ilhan Omar's Road to Washington

They elected two. History was also made in the state’s 5th Congressional District, which includes Minneapolis, where voters for the first time elected a refugee to represent them in Washington, D.C. And after spirited challenges to the county’s top two law enforcement officials, Hennepin County voters narrowly elected a new sheriff. Those changes at the local level came as DFLers swept races for governor and the state’s other constitutional offices and a surge of support for Democratic candidates nationwide gave that party control of the U.S. House of Representatives, even as Republicans gained seats in the Senate. Minnesota’s state Legislature will be similarly split along party lines, with DFLers taking the state House from Republicans, who maintained a narrow state Senate majority.

D., Chair Sandra Borden, Ph. D. Joseph Kayany, Ph. D. LIMINAL LOSERS: BREAKDOWNS AND BREAKTHROUGHS IN REALITY TELEVISION’S BIGGEST HIT Caitlin Rickert, M.A. Western Michigan University, 2013 This study explores how The Biggest Loser, a popular television reality program that features a weight-loss competition, reflects and magnifies established stereotypes about obese individuals. The show, which encourages contestants to lose weight at a rapid pace, constructs a broken/fixed dichotomy that oversimplifies the complex issues of obesity and health. My research is a semiotic analysis of the eleventh season of the program (2011), focusing on three pairs of contestants (or “couples” teams) that each represent a different level of commitment to the program’s values.

Signature 2 | Page I. ABSTRACT This thesis offers an explanation for why urban settlement in Somaliland’s capital city of Hargeisa is segregated along clan lines. The topic of urban segregation has been neglected in both classic Somali studies, and recent studies of post-war state-building and governance in Somaliland. Such negligence of urban governance in debates over state-making stems from a predominant focus on national and regional levels, which overlooks the institutions governing cities.

  • Rock for Beginners – Miguel Amorós
    Rock for Beginners – Miguel Amorós Shake, Rattle and Roll “Rock”, properly speaking, refers to a particular musical style created by Anglo-Saxon youth culture that spread like wildfire to every country where the modern conditions of production and consumption had reached a certain qualitative threshold, that is, where capitalism had given rise to a mass society of socially uprooted individuals. The phenomenon first took shape after World War Two in the United States, the most highly developed capitalist country, and then spread to England; from there it returned like a boomerang to the country of its origin, irradiating its influence everywhere, changing people’s lives in different ways. To get a better understanding of rock, we will first have to review the concepts of subculture, music and youth. The word “subculture” refers to the behaviors, values, jargons and symbols of a separate milieu—ethnic, geographic, sexual or religious—within the dominant culture, which was, and still is, of course, the culture of the ruling class. Beginning in the sixties, once the separation was imposed from above between elite culture, reserved for the leaders, and mass culture, created to regiment the led, to coarsen their tastes and brutalize their senses—between high culture and masscult,1 as Dwight McDonald called them—the term would be used to refer to alternative consumerist lifestyles, which were reflected in various ways in the music that was at first called “modern” music, and then pop music. The mechanism of identification that produced youth subculture was ephemeral, since it was constantly being offset by the temporary character of youth.

  • Meet the Tempe Playlist Musicians
    MEET THE TEMPE PLAYLIST MUSICIANS Adele Etheridge Woodson Song: Morena (Morena feat. Rosita) Visit Website Morena was part of my EP, Sunday in the Park, that was commissioned by the city of Tempe! I wanted to create a fun, catchy track with Portuguese elements to bring fresh variety to the EP! I am a freelance composer and violinist born and raised in Tempe. I feel all of my artistic success is because of the local community and artists I am surrounded by. I currently compose music for film, arrange strings for other bands, and produce. Alex King Song: Dialogue (Inner) Visit Spotify After a spiraling last year and a half I was just trying to be honest with myself about what happened and where I was going. The results were less clear than where they started. Maybe? Not sure… I grew up here. I love this city. Although all the other places I've traveled too and have lived hold dear places in my heart, Tempe will always be my true love! I play drums in a loud band around Tempe infrequently. Alyssa G Song: Let Go Visit Instagram I was in a long and draining relationship for years and when I decided to move on and break it off, I found myself in tears in my friend’s dorm, guitar in hand, and humming to a few chords. I decided to write, record, and complete the song to share with others, in hope that they could see the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to hard breakups.

  • 100 Contests of Trivia
    100 Contests of Trivia In celebration of Williams Trivia's 100th contest, we have compiled 1 question from each contest (and even one from a contest that didn't happen) into a single super bonus. For some of the oldest contests, the questions have been lost, so we have improvised. For all the others, the question is one that was actually asked on the air. We've included the song that was played with the question, because that's one thing that has been the same about Williams Trivia from (almost) the very beginning. The song may or may not help you answer the question. Keep in mind that the answers to some questions may have changed since they were asked. Your answer should be what the answer should have been when the question was asked. Spring '66: Frank Ferry Question: Who was the winner of the first Trivia contest? Winter '66: Frank Ferry Question: We hardly know anything about this contest. But if you do, tell us about it and receive full credit for this question. Spring '67: Frank Ferry & WCFM Question: What is significant about the music from this contest? Winter '67: WCFM Question: What unbreakable record was set by Carter House in this contest? Spring '68: Frank Ferry & WCFM Question: What distinction does Morgan, the winner of this contest, hold? Winter '68: Morgan Question: Name any one of Groucho Marx's 3 consolation prize questions on \You Bet Your LIfe." Spring '69: Carter (featuring Frank Ferry) Question: This contest was the first to include a feature whereby competing teams could attempt to come up with trivia questions that would stump the hosting team.
