The pool cost the petitioner over $19,000, and we cannot accept his contention that such amount was spent primarily for therapy for his leg in view of the limited need for such therapy and the alternatives which were then available.

Parent Corporation owns 85% of the common stock and 100% of the preferred stock of Subsidiary Corporation. The common stock and preferred stock have adjusted bases of $500,000 and $200,000, respectively, to Parent. Subsidiary adopts a plan of liquidation on July 3 of the current year, when its assets have a $1 million FMV. Liabilities on that date amount to $850,000. On November 9, Subsidiary pays off its creditors and distributes $150,000 to Parent with respect to its preferred stock. No cash remain to be aid to Parent with respect to the remaining $50,000 of its liquidation preference for the preferred stock, or with respect to any common stock. In each of Subsidiary’s tax years, less than %10 of its gross

As the city manager of Yorkville city I have been presented with a 1% tax income proposal on behalf of the members of the city council in order to accumulate around 1 million dollars yearly to decrease the current deficit that the city has of $650,000.The city council is asking me to hand out flyers to promote this tax to the voters in order to pass the proposal with the city residents’ support in the next coming elections. I would personally analyze the proposal and the reasons why there is such a bad deficit of $650,000 and I would also find the specific measures taken by the city council or previous city officials to work on the issue. The information should be gathered in different areas such as accountability, new city programs and expenses

My belief is that new businesses will create a new generation of people surrounding the city's residency. The residents of North Wilkesboro will have more opportunities towards their desired career choices. The rural areas of North Carolina will not only reside with farmers, laborers,

By emphasizing the “untaught mind”—both in “Clifton Hill” and other poems—Yearsley positions herself and the women within her poem as maintaining power and authority over their own experiences and writing. Yearsley’s entire collection, Poems on Several Occasions, reflects her desire to see and experience in these powerful positions, as her patrons do, and she also begins to adopt the attitude and responsibilities of a patron-figure in her verse. For example, in the poem she connects creativity with laboring class status, but again she is instructive in her tone to the fellow unlettered poet, thus inverting the traditional patron-poet relationship. She describes the “moment” when a poem occurs to uninterrupted, natural genius: I eager seiz‘d, no formal Rule e‘er aw‘d; No Precedent controuled;

The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative is a perfect example of such efforts in Boston, Massachusetts. The neighborhood was plighted with all the aforementioned disadvantages, such as red lining, burnt down houses, and then the empty lots became a dumping grounds. Through the neighborhoods efforts, they raised awareness of their issue and got changes in policy to prevent dumping. They also utilized imminent domain to reclaim the abandoned lots in their neighborhood and then through the creation of their own Community Development Corporation were able to build new affordable housing in its place. Though all this, they were also able to get banks to reinvest in the area so they can continue to develop. Other cities can and have utilized similar methods and practices but the results are deeply dependent on the participation of community members and the willingness of the city to assist. DSNI was able to circumnavigate the city’s lack of cooperation in investing through the creation of their

Economic growth is the focus of every city. Through economies of scale cities such as Chicago and New York continue to experience great economic expansion. Continued growth, however, opens up the gateway for urban sprawl and the lack of a centralized economy. As cities expand their land use people disregard once thriving centers of industry and business and locate next to newly developed "Greenfield" type businesses. Often times the only thing left in the wake are rundown, abandoned business districts. In an effort to revitalize these deserted areas, councils in charge of economic development will use many different policies. An occasionally controversial policy is called a TIF or Tax Increment

Sports subsidies have become the main way to finance a lot of the stadiums being built all around the United States. A stadium subsidy is a sort of government subsidy provided for a professional sports team to help invest in the building or improvement of sports stadiums. Even though these subsidies are occurring that does not mean that they are good. As a matter of fact they do more harm than good to the economy of the area the stadium is built in. This situation brings in taxes, business collapse, and really no solid evidence after research has been done on the economic boost of these stadium subsides.

For several years now, researchers have blamed common analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers), mainly acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), as potential causes of asthma symptoms and new-onset asthma. However, more recent evidence seems to vindicate pain medicine. Here’s 5 things to know.

The idea that morally dubious goals may be legitimate inside capitalism will be discussed in light of a tax avoidance case study. Apple, a multinational technology company, has avoided paying its fair amount of income tax for years. This paper will consider the structural embeddedness of Apple’s legitimised goal—the maximisation of profit—through the ‘Double Irish Dutch sandwich’ tax haven model. Durkheim’s theory of collective conscience was used in explaining the legitimisation of the company’s profits-driven goal, and how its amorality becomes apparent outside the economical sphere. This paper will also discuss the interconnected nature of the harm and benefits in the deal made between Ireland and Apple. The association between legitimations of Apple’s conduct and its socially challenging behaviour has been analysed to be ambiguous in the letter of the law. The conclusion will shed light on the morally grey area of a company’s responsibility to its shareholders versus the needs of the community.

JP Morgan Chase & Co. is currently United States’ biggest bank, and the 6th biggest bank internationally with over 2.4 trillion dollars in assets. This financial juggernaut was formed in 2000, when Chase Manhattan Corporation and JP Morgan & Co merged. Currently, Chase is well known for their credit card line in America, and is responsible for consumer banking, while JP Morgan is well known internationally, and responsible for investment banking. Although JPMC is one of the world’s biggest banks, senior management at JPMC has continuously referred to the company as a technology company. Technology plays an astronomically more important role in banking because of convenience and security. JPMC currently has over 40,000 technologists, of which over 18,000 are software developers (Crowe). In comparison, Google, arguably the most renowned tech company in the world, has around 60,000 employees. With such an enormous staff of technologists and coders, JPMC, like any big tech corporation, must be concerned with employee production efficiency. Over my past summer as an intern, I’ve noticed that there is one key area that JPMC could improve on – keyboards. Every technologist at JPMC has their own area for their computer setup, and unsurprisingly, most technologists spend a majority of their time in front of their computer doing one task – typing. The keyboards provided by JPMC were basic plastic membrane keyboards that did not support any added functionality. Even as an intern, I
