			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Louisiana Purchase figures prominently in North Dakota&#8217;s history. A vast tract of lands about some 800,000 square miles was purchased from France by the United States in 1803. Included in the land purchased was the territory of North Dakota. North Dakota also figured in the Civil War. The state of North Dakota is separated at the northern border from Canada by Manitoba and Saskatchewan provinces. The Red River of the North has long been a natural boundary on the eastern corner. North Dakota uses up 70,700 square miles and 1,724 square miles of inland water. The size makes North Dakota the 18th largest state in the United States.</p>
<p>Agriculture is a major industry in North Dakota. Durum wheat, a major crop, propels the production of by-products like pasta and similar varieties. The state also produces tonnage of barley, sunflower seed and flaxseed. It also leads in the production of dry beans, oats, potatoes, sugar beets and honey. The vast plains provide feed for its livestock.</p>
<p>Mining of lignite is also a major industry. The state has high quality natural gas. The state is also into the manufacturing of food products, animal feeds, and farm machineries. Its distance from other major states has discouraged more manufacturing industries to thrive.</p>
<p>North Dakota real estate industry is taking great strides. These North Dakota real estate firms are listed and are posted in the internet. They can give clients listings in specific areas of North Dakota real estate properties for sale. Buyers, sellers, and lending institutions can also ask from these North Dakota real estate specifics&#8211;from tax shelters and appraisals and even tips about mortgages. The reputable North Dakota real estate firms have thousands of agents so service can be provided at all times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Camping is probably one of the best outdoor activity families and group of friends could do. There is something about camping that is worth looking forward to. Little kids get too excited everytime they hear the word camping especially during the summer. There is a great chance for them to explore and meet new friends. Aside from that, they will be able to explore nature, develop skills and showcase their talents in various activities during camping.</p>
<p>It is true that camping really brings out the best in an individual. Primitive camping allows the campers to really explore and do things just like what our ancestors have done to survive. Hunting for food, building fire with the use of sticks and other survival methods are done when it comes to primitive camping. But right now, these are rarely done because of the advent of different technologies that will aid an individual with his camping needs.</p>
<p>North Dakota is a place where you can fulfil and achieve a fantastic camping activity. With all of its natural wonders, who would not enjoy camping in the wilderness? Loads of activities and amenities awaits for the families and friends when they camp in North Dakota. You have lots of choices if you want to camp in North Dakota. If you have an RV, there are also areas which have designated parking areas for recreational vehicles. While packing for the trip, do not forget to include packing the self defense stun gun for your safety and protection needs.</p>
<p>In the Northwestern part of North Dakota, you can camp at Lewis and Clark State Park. If you visit this state park, you will have the chance to view North Dakota&#8217;s best sights and one of a kind terrain. There are marked trails that commemorate the explorers Lewis and Clark&#8217;s paths as they explore North Dakota. Campers need to pay for the entrance fee though but the fee will go to the maintenance fund of the state park.</p>
<p>Another state park perfect for camping and other outdoor activities is Lake Metigoshe State Park. Here, the waters of the lake are shimmering and truly breath taking. During winter time, the park is even more visited by many people because they can do almost any winter activity in the park. Dorms and cabins are available to those visitors who will stay for the night.</p>
<p>Turtle River State Park is also a must visit camping area. The state park is located in a picturesque and highly wooded valley. It is very peaceful out here and there are activities every season. There are mountain biking trails and even for hiking. Fishing can also be done and most of the gears can be borrowed in the park&#8217;s office.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Only three of fifty states are now solvent, meaning they have the revenues to meet their state budgets; and one of them is North Dakota. It is an unlikely candidate for the distinction. It is a sparsely populated state of less than 700,000 people, largely located in isolated farming communities afflicted with cold weather. Yet since 2000, the state&#8217;s GNP has grown 56%, personal income has grown 43%, and wages have grown 34%. The state not only has no funding issues, but this year it actually has a budget surplus of $1.2 billion, the largest it has ever had.</p>
<p>North Dakota boasts the only state-owned bank in the nation. The Bank of North Dakota (BND) was established by the state legislature in 1919 specifically to free farmers and small businessmen from the clutches of out-of-state bankers and railroad men. The bank&#8217;s stated mission is to deliver sound financial services that promote agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota. By law, the state must deposit all its funds in the bank, which pays a competitive interest rate to the state treasurer.</p>
<p>The state rather than the FDIC guarantees the bank&#8217;s deposits, which are plowed back into the state in the form of loans. The bank&#8217;s return on equity is about 25%, and it pays a hefty dividend to the state, which is expected to exceed $60 million this year. In the last decade, the BND has turned back a third of a trillion dollars to the state&#8217;s general fund, offsetting taxes. The former president of the BND is now the state&#8217;s governor.</p>
<p>The BND avoids rivalry with private banks by partnering with them. Most lending is originated by a local bank. The BND then comes in to participate in the loan, share risk, and buy down the interest rate. The BND provides a secondary market for real estate loans, which it buys from local banks. Its residential loan portfolio is now $500 billion to $600 billion. Guarantees are also provided for entrepreneurial startups, and the BND has ample money to lend to students (over 184,000 outstanding loans). It purchases municipal bonds from public institutions, and it backs loans made to new farmers at 1% interest. The BND also has a well-funded disaster loan program, which helps explain how Fargo, when struck by a disastrous flood recently, managed to avoid the devastation suffered by New Orleans in similar circumstances.</p>
<p>North Dakota has also managed to avoid the credit freeze, through the simple expedient of creating its own credit. It has led the nation in establishing state economic sovereignty. In California and other states, workers and factories are sitting idle because the private credit system has failed. An injection of new money from a system of publicly-owned banks on the model of the Bank of North Dakota could thaw the credit freeze and bring spring to the markets once again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Begin by first getting the right kind of information. You need to know how the treatment process works before you can plan it for someone. To do this, you will need to visit an authority website. The three leading authority websites on substance abuse treatment in North Dakota are those of the National Clearinghouse, the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. You will be best served by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website. On this website, you will even find a Facility Locator link which will help you find a proper rehabilitation center in North Dakota or in any other state for that matter.</p>
<p>Once you know the different aspects included in the kind of treatment you are looking for, you can go ahead and plan the treatment process. You can do this yourself, but if you want professional help, you can hire an interventionist to guide you. There are many jobs that the interventionist will do for you. They will help you motivate the patient to get into the rehab (considering that every addiction patient undergoes a period of denial, this will be important for you) and then they will guide you on what different kinds of treatment options exist and which of them will be best suited for the patient&#8217;s needs. They will also help you with the treatment formalities and advise you throughout the length of the program.</p>
<p>But if you are planning to do this yourself (you can get inexpensive intervention services at a rehabilitation center in North Dakota if you try to look for it), you will need to go about it in a systematic manner. You can get the links to the websites of several treatment centers. Open the links of the centers that appeal to you. One more way to locate a treatment center in North Dakota is to look at your telephone directory. But there the options will be few and you will still need to check out the website of the center to make sure what kind of program they conduct and whether that will be good for the patient.</p>
<p>There are a few things that you have to specifically look at on the website. First, read the program and make sure that it is suitable for the needs and choices of the patient. Then see if the program has a license to operate in North Dakota. It should technically have a license to provide the kind of treatment you are looking for. It should also have a license to provide the detoxification treatment, or else there is a chance that it might transfer the patient to an outside center for the detoxification. You must also see if the treatment providers at the center have the necessary qualification to provide the treatment. Ideally, they must be qualified from a federal institute such as the American Society of Addiction Medicine.</p>
<p>When you select your center, you will need to speak with them and reserve a place for the patient. When that is done, you will need to focus your energies on motivating the person to get into treatment. The rehabilitation centers understand that all patients may not be willing for the treatment from the very start. They might provide you with an interventionist or guide you on encouraging the patient. Every rehabilitation center in North Dakota has an initial phase of the treatment where the patient is encouraged to go with the entire recovery process. This is done through counseling and education and it works with the help of the family.</p>
