The Ingalls House, ca.1910
No full textPhotograph of The Ingalls, ca. 1910. There are two street lights that align the streets in front of hotel, one on each side of building. Ahorse drawn carriage with driver seated atop of it and a couple people walking towards front of hotel.
The Ingalls was located at Fourth Street and Demers, on the site of present First National Bank (4/2025) and in the area we now know as Downtown Grand Forks Historical District.
The Ingalls, the second hotel in Grand Forks, was built by Captain Hugh Maloney in 1878, and was called the Mansard House. It stands on the corner of DeMers avenue and Fourth street and was rented to Colonel Ingalls in 1883, who changed the name to that of his own. Although he was in charge of the house but a few years, the name has been permitted to stand as it is.
On March 20, 1914, fire swept through the Ingalls House. The telegraph office, a confectionery shop, and a second hand furniture store burned with the hotel. (from Grand Forks: A Pictorial History page 92)
The property and its business has been in the possession of Mrs. Mary Maloney since the death of her husband some ten years ago. The Ingalls, now one of the historic land marks of Grand Forks, has been thoroughly refitted for the better accommodation of its patrons. It is a large three story building, having besides offices and other rooms forty-five well furnished sleeping apartments, and which with gas, bath, hot and cold water, and with its central location for business purposes, makes it a desirable place for a public house.

ADDRESSING OCCUPATIONAL CHALLENGES THROUGH MULTIMODAL EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING INTERVENTION APPROACHES TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR CAREGIVERS AND CARE RECIPIENTS
Get PDFBackground: Family caregivers represent approximately 20% of the U.S. population (American Association for Retired Persons [AARP], 2020), with a prevalence linked to the rise of conditions and critical care needs among the baby boomer population. Family members are often relied upon to ensure the basic health needs of their loved ones as the complexity of care increases. On average, family caregivers dedicated 24 or more hours a week to caregiving tasks while fulfilling work and other essential functions. Nearly 50% provided high-intensity care to recipients with complex medical conditions with limited formal training (Reinhardt et al., 2019). These extreme levels of occupational imbalance and the lack of preparedness pose significant health disparities for family caregivers. The occupational therapy (OT) profession has a distinct role in addressing these health disparities and unmet needs of family caregivers through evidenced-based interventions and advocacy.
Purpose: The purpose of this scholarly project (SP) was to address the unmet needs of family caregivers by partnering with local organizations that currently serve this population using innovative OT practices such as program modification, implementation, and grant writing. Through an OT lens, this SP aimed to promote a current caregiver education and training program through occupation and evidence-based practices facilitating optimal health literacy outcomes, thus accelerating a local agency\u27s mission of empowering a community of thriving and competent family caregivers.
Method: The Ecological Human Performance (EHP) occupation-based framework was employed to conduct a comprehensive literature review and needs assessment to infer the role of OT in addressing the health inequities for family caregivers (Dunn, 2017). EHP also guided the development of this SP through a structured analysis of the person, context, and task-related factors that either hinder or support this population\u27s occupational well-being.
Results: The final SP product entailed multiple contributions to a local caregiving education consulting agency. These included modifications and enhancements to five learning modules in a current caregiver education and training program and four grant funding submissions to support this program\u27s sustainability within the community. The culmination of these outcomes promoted the program\u27s utility, accessibility, and application for a population with diverse learning needs
Impacts Of Snowmelt Recharge On Water Table Fluctuations In A Cold Region Unconfined Aquifer
No full textThe impacts of snowmelt recharge on water table fluctuations in cold region unconfined aquifers are critical for understanding groundwater dynamics, particularly in regions where snowmelt is a primary source of recharge. This thesis investigates the temporal and spatial variations in water table fluctuations in response to snowmelt events, examining the impact of snowfall and temperature. The study was conducted in the Oakes Aquifer with an unconfined aquifer system, rainfall and snowfall data were collected from North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network (NDAWN, 2024) stations in Oakes, ND as well as National Weather Service (NWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) stations in Lisbon, ND. IDW (Inverse Distance Weighting) was used to create a continuous map that visually represents how the water table rises or falls across the area. Results indicate that snowmelt significantly influences water table fluctuations, with higher snowfall corresponding to more distinct rises in the water table. Spatial variability in water table responses was observed, Soil permeability and frozen ground depth were found to strongly influence the extent of infiltration, with higher permeability and shallower frozen ground enabling greater recharge and more rapid water table rises. Also, temperature was found to affect snowmelt timing and intensity, with warmer temperatures leading to earlier snowmelt and quicker water table fluctuations. The results show that snowmelt is a key source of recharge in cold-region unconfined aquifers, but water table responses vary by location and time due to local conditions. The study has important implications for groundwater management, especially under varying climatic conditions, as shifts in snowmelt timing and intensity could lead to altered groundwater recharge patterns. Future study is recommended to explore long-term monitoring, climate modeling, and cross-regional comparisons to further enhance our understanding of snowmelt-driven groundwater recharge in the Oakes Aquifer
An Intersectional Exploration And Analogue Investigation Of Transgender And Gender Diverse Bi+ Women’s Preferences For Sexual Violence Vulnerability Reduction Interventions
Get PDFTransgender and gender diverse (TGD) bisexual+ (bi+, e.g., pansexual, polysexual) women disproportionately experience sexual violence victimization and their acceptability of applicable interventions is under-researched. Online self-report data was collected from 240 ethnoracially diverse bi+ adult American women, who identified as TGD (n = 69) or cisgender (cis; n = 171), and who read standardized descriptions of interventions. TGD bi+ women found intervention descriptions inclusive of their sexual and gender identities—and those including in-person active resistance strategy instruction (bystander/self-defense)—more acceptable. Intervention descriptions with alcohol use and/or sexual activity reduction components were largely found to be less acceptable. Intervention elements of importance included small group size, efficacy evidence—and chiefly—confidentiality. Most TGD bi+ women reported lifetime sexual violence victimization (88%) and childhood sexual abuse (57%). Anticipated victim-blaming and stigma may explain TGD bi+ women’s reduced acceptability of intervention descriptions targeting changing their behaviors to reduce sexual violence victimization
Reference Interview Recommendations for Text and Data Mining
Get PDFText and data mining (TDM) has become increasingly important in research and teaching in higher education. Researchers at all levels are engaging with larger quantities of data than previously feasible. The exponential increase in the availability of text data has resulted in a proliferation of the number of tools that facilitate text data processing and analysis. While TDM skills may have been optional or a disciplinary focus in the past, they are increasingly employed in a broader range of fields. Students and researchers may also be inspired to use TDM tools as they come across examples while looking for new research ideas. Research interests and curricular requirements across disciplines are leading librarians to seek TDM-related professional development opportunities as more people look to the library for assistance.
When people come to the library for help with TDM, the reference interview is a foundational step for helping patrons clarify and support their TDM information needs. As such, the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) “Guidelines for Behavioral Performance of Reference and Information Service Providers 2023” are valuable to consider in light of how librarians can best provide services to patrons seeking assistance with TDM. As one of the co-authors of Conducting the Reference Interview notes, “A good reference interview is a collaboration. […] At the end of the process, the library professional and user, by working together, have achieved a new understanding that neither could have arrived at individually.” The interview itself may help the patron get ideas for data sources or tools they want to explore for their project, or it may help them through a particular challenge or refer them to resources or another person with additional expertise. The patron may have been provided questions to answer with a cleaned dataset and may be running into problems and want someone to help them troubleshoot something they missed. Or they may be beginning a dissertation and have an idea for a research question they want to answer with social media data but have no idea where to start with data collection or interpretation. Or a researcher may have heard about TDM and wants examples of how others have used it in their field to get ideas for a new research project. Librarians’ adeptness at helping users clarify their research questions and navigate information resources and technologies through the reference interview can be crucial to helping patrons successfully navigate TDM research
Practical Necromancy for Beginners: A Short Incomplete Opinionated Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Archaeology and History Students
Get PDFMany feel bewildered and quietly embarrassed that they don’t know more about how AI technology works, where it came from, or even how to get started. Start here.
Practical Necromancy represents Shawn Graham’s vision for how we should treat large language model (LLM) artificial intelligence applications. Graham advocates approaching these technologies as a necromancer. In antiquity, the figure of the necromancer lay outside the boundaries of official religion, talking not with gods but with the mournful echoes of ghosts. Practical Necromancy explores ways of surfacing the ghosts that lurk in AI technology. Graham suggests that the most useful thing we and our students can do with LLMs is to break them, push them, prod them, make them give up the ghosts in their data. We think through making and putting things together. It’s always the process that matters, not the final product. Through short essays, hands-on exercises, and suggestions for how one might build one’s own course, Practical Necromancy is meant to give us a starting point, a way in, a place to push from.
Practical Necromancy is especially timely as the language and hype around AI is deliberately meant to make you feel as if the computers from Star Trek are just around the corner. The message is quasi-religious: the future will be glorious. This book will help you step outside the official religion and start conversations with the ghosts lurking in these new machines.https://commons.und.edu/press-books/1033/thumbnail.jp
