Swinford Townhouses and Apartments

The Swinford Townhouses and Apartments are a development of townhouses and apartments in the Loring Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Both buildings are located in an area that surrounded the once-elegant Hawthorne Park. The townhomes were built first, in 1886 by Hodgson & Sons in the Second Empire style, using red brick, stone, and terra cotta. The apartments were designed in 1897 by locally prominent architect Harry Wild Jones, who preferred an eclectic style. The building is four stories tall, built of red brick and stone, and features a corner bay. They were built by Anthony Kelly, a nineteenth-century businessman who pioneered the wholesale grocery business in Minneapolis. Both the townhouses and the apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

The Avenue at Middelharnis

The Avenue at Middelharnis by Meindert Hobbema, 1689, 103.5 × 141 cm. National Gallery, London

A more typical Hobbema, Forest landscape with a merry company in a cart, Rijksmuseum, c. 1665

The Avenue at Middelharnis is a Dutch Golden Age painting of 1689 by Meindert Hobbema, now in the National Gallery, London. It is in oil on canvas and measures 103.5 by 141 centimetres (40.7 in × 55.5 in). It shows a road leading to the village of Middelharnis on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee in the Meuse (Dutch: Maas) delta in South Holland, the Netherlands.

The painting has long been one of the best-known Dutch landscape paintings,Christopher Lloyd.Cornelis Hofstede de Groot, the great specialist of a century ago, thought it "the finest picture, next to Rembrandt's Syndics, which has been painted in Holland".Michael Levey, "it occupies a position in painting somewhat equivalent to that in poetry of Gray's Elegy,Seymour Slive "it is the swan song of Holland's great period of landscape painting which fully deserves its high reputation."Gerald Reitlinger, it "soars above the other nine National Gallery Hobbemas".

The untypically symmetrical and frontal composition of the painting appears to record very accurately the view Hobbema saw;alder trees along the road were planted in 1664.

Description

The village is seen from the south-east. The road was called the Boomgaardweg, but is now the Steene Weg,semaphore station, connecting The Hague with Paris. The smaller tower to the right of the church, seen between the trees, is the town hall, built in 1639, and the barn to the right survived until the 1870s.


The Avenue at Middelharnis

The village lies on the edge of the island and was a fishing port; ships' masts and a beacon with a tripod support can be seen in the distance to the right of the avenue, on the beach facing the Haringvliet.Voorne and created a deep saltwater inlet. In the St. Elizabeth floods of 1421, this inlet connected to the Merwede and became an important estuary of the Rhine and Meuse rivers.

Context

Aelbert Cuyp, The Avenue at Meerdervoort, 1650–1652, Wallace Collection

Meindert Hobbema (1638–1709) was a pupil of Jacob van Ruisdael, the pre-eminent landscape painter of the Dutch Golden Age, and in his mature period produced paintings developing one aspect of his master's more varied output, showing very different scenes from this painting. Hobbema specialized in "sunny forest scenes opened by roads and glistening ponds, fairly flat landscapes with scattered tree groups, and water mills", including over thirty of the last in paintings.

His paths or roads normally wind diagonally across his composition through dense trees and vegetation, the trees spreading and varying in size. The water mills and other buildings are generally seen in the near distance, rather as the barn is here, and generally only one or two appear in each picture. His compositions are carefully contrived and presumably imaginary, avoiding all symmetry. This painting is a surprising break from most of these somewhat "tired conventions of his earlier work".

In contrast to his usual scenes of rough woodland, in this scene the straight lines, lopped trees, deep drainage ditches on both sides of the road, and regimented young trees in the plot to the right, all emphasize the man-made nature of this landscape.saplings in rows on the right. The man tending to these is unusual in 17th-century Dutch landscapes, which rarely show anyone working the land.

In contrast to this accurate depiction of a specific place, it is thought that his compositions were usually assembled and painted in the studio from a number of different elements presumably recorded in drawings, and not all coming from the same place; there are often several versions changing parts of the composition.

In 1668 he married and took the well-paid position of "wine-gauger" for the Amsterdam octroi, assessing and collecting local taxes on wine, holding this until his death. It is clear that his painting greatly reduced from this point, but it did not end completely, as used to be thought. The quality of his work becomes uneven, though this is not the only very successful late work.

Hofstede de Groot, like others at the time, believed Hobbema had completely stopped painting before the 1680s, and was sure the date read 1669. Subsequent cleaning, and the discovery that the alder trees were only planted by the council in 1664, has confirmed that 1689 is the correct date.

Composition

The unusually centralized composition carries the viewer's eye down the road, and the thin, very tall lopped trees unite the sky and the land. The head of the gentleman with his dog is at a level with the vanishing point of the perspective, and very close to it. He is a hunter, with a gun sloped over his shoulder, and a satchel for his game.

In 1980 x-ray radiography revealed that Hobbema had originally placed another tree in the foreground on each side of the avenue, but then painted these over.

For Seymour Slive the painting has "the exalted spaciousness which often characterizes the Late Baroque, and also a kind of elegance in the elongated, slender trees that goes with the taste of this phase".

Though unusual, there had been a few previous compositions with "a strongly foreshortened road lined with trees in a wide flat landscape". Aelbert Cuyp had painted The Avenue at Meerdervoort in 1650–1652 (now in the Wallace Collection).

Condition

It was perhaps because the two painted-over trees in the foreground had begun to show through that the sky was extensively repainted in the 19th century. This was realized in 1972 after analysis of the pigments used found synthetic ultramarine and chrome yellow in the sky, which had not yet been invented in the 1680s. A 19th-century restorer may have attempted to bring back the two trees, before thinking better of it, as Hobbema himself had done.


The Avenue at Middelharnis

The sky was largely repainted in 1951, much of which was removed in 1972, which "gave the painting an unsatisfactory appearance", so in 1980–81 all the 1951 repainting was removed and new retouches added. In contrast the landscape and trees are "very well preserved", although the colour balance of the greens has probably altered to give a "lighter and bluer shade of green than originally intended".

Provenance

The Avenue, Sydenham by Camille Pissarro, painted in 1871, just after the National Gallery acquired the Hobbema

Nearly a century after being painted it was still on the island, in a collection in nearby Sommelsdijk, suggesting it had been commissioned by a local patron.Edinburgh in Scotland in 1826.Romantic and later 19th-century taste, and prices rose accordingly through the 19th century.

In 1829 it was auctioned in Edinburgh for 195 guineas, already a good price, then taken to London and cleaned.Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet, who had a significant collection of Dutch paintings, but is better known for having twice been Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1834–1835 and 1841–1846. It was exhibited at the British Institution in 1835, and in March 1871 entered the National Gallery as NG 830 when they bought seventy-seven pictures and eighteen drawings from the Peel Collection. These were bought from Peel's son Robert, the 3rd Baronet for £75,000, with a special grant from the government,

The Avenue, Sydenham by Camille Pissarro was painted during a stay in London that ended in June 1871, a month after the National Gallery acquired the Hobbema, and its composition is probably influenced by it.Upper Norwood, next to Sydenham, avoiding the Franco-Prussian War. This painting is also now in the National Gallery.

Lepa Brena & Slatki Greh

Lepa Brena & Slatki Greh is a compilation album by Yugoslav pop-folk singer Lepa Brena and her band Slatki Greh. It was released in 1990.

Issued by Sarajevo-based label, Diskoton, the collection contains songs from the band's two most recent studio albums at the time: Hajde Da Se Volimo (Diskoton, 1987) and Četiri Godine (Diskoton, 1989). These two studio albums were each released in conjunction with a musical/comedy film (Hajde Da Se Volimo & Hajde Da Se Volimo II, respectively), starring lead singer, Lepa Brena. These films include performances of most (though not all) of the songs featured on their associated albums. Lepa Brena & Slatki Greh would go on to record a third album with Diskoton ("Boli Me Uvo Za Sve," 1990), in support of the third and final installment of the "Hajde Da Se Volimo" movie series. Diskoton ceased to operate during the early 1990s, and subsequently, no additional Lepa Brena & Slatki Greh albums or compilations were released on CD.

Repatriation tax avoidance

Repatriation tax avoidance is the legal use of a tax regime within a country in order to repatriate income earned by foreign subsidiaries to a parent corporation while avoiding taxes ordinarily owed to the parent's country on the repatriation of foreign income.Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, multinational firms based in the United States owed the U.S. government taxes on worldwide income.mergers and acquisitions.Internal Revenue Code to conduct tax-exempt corporate reorganizations.

The application of repatriation tax avoidance strategies has drawn public scrutiny. Several large corporate acquisitions have involved significant repatriation tax avoidance strategies, including Merck & Co.'s acquisition of Schering-Plough and Johnson & Johnson's acquisition of Synthes.Double Irish arrangements to avoid taxes, though the two tax avoidance plans differ in the sorts of taxes that they allow a company to avoid. Double Irish arrangements have allowed multinational companies to avoid taxes owed to countries in which foreign subsidiaries of a U.S.-based multinational corporation are incorporated. Repatriation tax avoidance strategies, however, have allowed U.S.-domiciled companies to avoid owing taxes to the United States.

Background

Until the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, international firms based in the United States owed the federal government taxes on income earned worldwide.

Strategies

United States

Numerous strategies have been employed by firms based in the United States in order to reduce their taxes owed through the use of international corporate acquisitions.

These three strategies facilitate tax avoidance through careful planning of transactions; a U.S.-based multinational corporation does not technically repatriate foreign profits when the strategies are followed.

Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)

The phrasing of Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, which defines a corporate "reorganization" under U.S. Law, has enabled for multinational corporations to classify certain types of acquisitions as tax-exempt corporate reorganizations.

The "Killer B" strategy is a tax-avoidance strategy that reduces a firm's taxes owed on the repatriation of foreign cash used in the acquisition of another firm through the classification of an acquisition as a reorganization provided by Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code.stock to a foreign subsidiary in exchange for cash,Internal Revenue Service had gained increasing success in disallowing the use of this tax avoidance strategy since 2006.

Deadly D

A diagram depicting the Deadly D strategy's method of tax avoidance.

The "Deadly D" strategy is a tax-avoidance strategy that utilizes Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue code in order to reduce a firm's taxes owed on the repatriation of foreign cash used in the acquisition of another firm.

Outbound F

Examples

The tax advantages for multinational corporations of financing acquisitions using cash held abroad are widely known and have been utilized by several multinationals to avoid repatriation taxes,Big Four accounting firms have created public presentations describing the legal mechanisms that undergird these types of strategies as well as the procedural steps needed to implement them.

Merck & Co.'s acquisition of Schering-Plough

In 2009, Merck & Co. used a variation of the Outbound F strategy in order to move over $9 billion from overseas into the United States without owing repatriation taxes during its purchase of Schering-Plough, avoiding $3 billion in tax liability.

Johnson & Johnson's acquisition of Synthes


Repatriation tax avoidance

Johnson & Johnson's acquisition of Synthes

In 2012, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) acquired Synthes in a cash-and-stock deal that involved the significant use of repatriation tax avoidance techniques.The Wall Street Journal reports that, two days prior to the acquisition closing, "J&J unveiled a complicated new structure for the cash and stock deal. Its Irish subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc., paid for Synthes with J&J's untaxed foreign cash holdings. Then, by transferring Synthes into another of J&J's foreign subsidiaries and dissolving Synthes before the end of the quarter, the pharmaceutical giant escaped the tax hit, according to a person familiar with the deal."Internal Revenue Service issued an rule described as an "anti-abuse rule" that was designed to make similar tax avoidance techniques more difficult to use going forward.

Relationship with Double Irish arrangements

The Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich constituted a widely used base erosion and profit shifting scheme that allowed United States-based multinational companies to legally avoid paying taxes on income earned abroad.Ireland-registered subsidiary that is a tax resident of Bermuda (IE Co. 1), an Ireland-registered subsidiary that is a tax resident of Ireland (IE Co. 2), and a Netherlands-registered subsidiary (NET Co.).

While the Double Irish arrangement allowed for U.S. multinationals to owe little to no taxes on income earned by its subsidiaries abroad, the arrangement did not allow companies to move cash from foreign subsidiaries into the United States without incurring tax liability; income directly repatriated from a foreign subsidiary historically resulted in taxes being owed on that income.

J.C. Bradford & Co.

J.C. Bradford & Co. was a Nashville-based investment banking and brokerage firm founded by James Cowdon Bradford Sr. in 1927. The firm was the first from Nashville to buy a seat on the New York Stock Exchange.

The firm was acquired by PaineWebber in April 2000 for $620 million to gain access to its network of 900 brokers.Swiss banking firm UBS AG.

Prior to its acquisition, the firm had 2,400 employees in 81 offices located in 14 states, focused primarily in the southern United States.

History

Founding through 1973

J.C. Bradford & Co. was founded in May 1927, with the $10,000 purchase of Joe B. Palmer Co., a small securities firm in Nashville. Prior to founding J.C. Bradford & Co., Bradford had worked in insurance, managing the Davis, Bradford & Company insurance agency until 1923 when he was brought in to save the Memphis-based grocery store Piggly Wiggly. Bradford served as president of the grocery retailer from 1923 to 1926. Bradford led the company's corporate restructuring after its founder had nearly bankrupted the company in an effort to corner the market for the company's common stock.

Despite the stock market crash of 1929, in 1930 J.C. Bradford & Co. purchased its seat on the New York Stock Exchange for $400,000. By 1940, the value of this seat was estimated to be approximately $19,000.

Following the end of World War II, the firm expanded into new markets throughout Tennessee in 1946, including Memphis and Jackson. Then, in the 1950s, the firm continued to expand, opening offices in New York and Atlanta. In 1966, the firm merged with Elder & Co., based in Chattanooga, Tennessee and then expanded for the first time to the West Coast with an office in La Jolla, California in 1973.

1974−2000

The firm faced another major economic crisis during the 1973–1974 stock market crash, experiencing its first loss since the Great Depression in 1974. During the 1970s, consolidation was rampant among many longstanding Wall Street firms and in 1979 J.C. Bradford chose a merger with Almstead Bros., based in Kentucky and then a year later with Frost, Johnson, Reed and Smith, based in South Carolina.


J.C. Bradford & Co.

The following year, in 1981, J. C. Bradford, Sr. died leaving his son, J. C. Bradford, Jr., who had joined the firm in 1959, to assume the role of senior partner of the firm in 1982. By the end of the 1980s, the firm was growing again, opening seven new offices in five southern states. In 1989, The Bradford Money Fund, a short-term money market fund, was launched. The fund would grow from $280 million in its first year to over $1 billion in 1995 and doubling to $2 billion just three years later in 1998 with over 140,000 clients.

According to The Tennessean, "J.C. Bradford & Co. helped a number of companies in Nashville successfully raise capital, including Shoney's, Amsurg, HCA, Central Parking, Healthways, Corrections Corporation of America, and Ingram Industries."

J.C. Lauber Company Building

The J.C. Lauber Company building in South Bend, Indiana, from 2016.

The J.C. Lauber Company Building is a historic building on the east side of South Bend, Indiana. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The company produced much of the sheet metal and roofing for buildings in early-20th-century South Bend.

History

Joseph Charles Lauber was born in Hamilton, Ohio, in 1868. His father, Anton, died that same year. Joseph's mother moved the family to Mishawaka, Indiana (a city adjacent to South Bend), to live with her brother, a brewer. As an adult, Joseph became a tinner's apprentice in Michigan. He returned to South Bend in 1890 to work for Meyer & Poehlman, described as "the largest tinsmith and hardware business in the area."

Among the many buildings the company produced architectural elements for, Lauber produced "galvanized iron work, sheet metal and canopy" for the Palace Theatre, now known as the Morris Performing Arts Center.

In 2016, the building was purchased by the local real estate developer Frank Perri, who owns additional properties on the city's east side.

Inside Mr Enderby

Inside Mr Enderby is the first volume of the Enderby series, a quartet of comic novels by the British author Anthony Burgess.

The book was first published in 1963 in London by William Heinemann under the pseudonym Joseph Kell. The series began with the publication in 1963 of Inside Mr. Enderby, continued in 1968 with Enderby Outside and 1974 with The Clockwork Testament, or Enderby's End, and concluded after a ten-year break in 1984 with Enderby's Dark Lady, or No End to Enderby. Some of the poems included in the novel were later published in the Revolutionary Sonnets and Other Poems collection.

Plot summary

The story opens on a note of pure fantasy, showing school children from the future taking a field trip through time to see the dyspeptic poet Francis Xavier Enderby while he is asleep. Enderby, a lapsed Catholic in his mid-40s, lives alone in Brighton as a 'professional' poet - his income being interest from investments left to him by his stepmother.

Enderby composes his poetry whilst seated on the toilet. His bathtub, which serves as a filing cabinet, is almost full of the mingled paper and food scraps that represent his efforts. Although he is recognised as a minor poet with several published works (and is even awarded a small prize, the 'Goodby Gold Medal', which he refuses), he has yet to be anthologised.

He is persuaded to leave his lonely but poetically fruitful bachelor life by the editor of a woman's magazine, Vesta Bainbridge, after he accidentally sends her a love poem instead of a complaint about a recipe in her magazine. The marriage, which soon ends, costs Enderby dearly, alienating him from his muse and depriving him of his financial independence.


Inside Mr Enderby

Months pass, and Enderby is able to write only one more poem. After spending what remains of his capital, he attempts suicide with an overdose of aspirin, experiencing disgusting (and rather funny) visions of his stepmother as he nears death. His cries of horror bring help, and he regains consciousness in a mental institution, where the doctors persuade him to renounce his old, "immature" poetry-writing self. Rechristened "Piggy Hogg", he looks forward contentedly to a new career as a bartender.

Criticism

1984 McGraw-Hill edition

Anthony Burgess wrote a review of Joseph Kell's book for the Yorkshire Post. "[W]hen the editor sent him the author's novel—Burgess thought it was a practical joke but it wasn't."

Anatole Broyard of The New York Times wrote:

"Mr. Burgess is so fond of Enderby—by far his best creation—that he has devoted four books to him: Inside Mr. Enderby and Enderby Outside, which were published in 1968, The Clockwork Testament in 1975, and now, Enderby's Dark Lady."

Harold Bloom has nominated the novel as one of his candidates for "the most undervalued English novel of our era".

The Mountain (2012 film)

The Mountain (Turkish: Dağ), also known as Forgotten Soldiers, is a 2012 Turkish drama film directed by Alper Çağlar.

The film tells a fictional story in which a duty team sent from a troop to repair a field antenna suddenly falls into an ambush. One short and one long term soldier, the only ones to survive, finally put an end to the war between themselves and join hands for the struggle against the real enemy, carrying only two rifles, four magazines, a broken antenna and their survival instincts. The mountain is a heroic tale of two young soldiers who discover brotherhood and fortitude.

Plot

Oğuz from Istanbul, despite having a legal right and money to pay for a shorter period of military service, chooses to do it for a longer time no matter what rest of the people around him do. One week before he is discharged, he finds himself in such a danger to test his courage.

Bekir, who wrangles constantly with Oğuz, has been a long term soldier. He gets on well with neither his commanders, nor his term friends. He has two additional years to be discharged because of his rebellious actions. However, Bekir has pure and unconcerned courage; to be side by side and shoulder to shoulder with Oğuz against the ambush will be a hard test even for him. Having put aside their past animosity just before the raid, they will force limits of bravery in the hardest conditions, and fight together against terrorism in an isolated, freezing and wild area.

The Mountain's High

"The Mountain's High" is a 1961 hit R&B song written and performed by the California duo Dick and Dee Dee.

Background

The song has unusual special characteristics, being - at least in part - pentatonic. The instrumentation consists of two alternating minor bass-chords, played at the very bottom of the pitch-range of an electric-guitar. The guitar is minor-open-tuned. For most of the song, the two bass-chords are played in descending order, but for the alternative sections, two different bass-chords are played in ascending order.

Each of the two singers (who co-wrote the song) recorded two vocal tracks. It featured Dick St. John Gosting's overdubbed falsetto and Dee Dee Phelps's harmony. Produced by the Wilder Brothers and Don Ralke, it was released as the B-side of "I Want Someone". It was flipped inadvertently by a San Francisco DJ and became an immediate hit with local listeners. Liberty Records of Los Angeles soon signed on the artists for national distribution.

Chart performance

"The Mountain's High" reached the #2 spot in September 1961 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent two weeks there, held out of #1 by Bobby Vee's "Take Good Care of My Baby", also released by Liberty Records. It also reached #37 on the UK Singles Chart.
