Book Description

A recent tax treaty has major potential implications, setting a precedent toward progress in international fiscal relations and creating a relationship which will be closely watched by all those with an interest in international finance and taxation. The Convention between the United States and the Netherlands for the avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to taxes on income (the Treaty) became effective on January 1, 1994. Practitioners need a complete understanding of the Treaty in order to give accurate advice and to operate effectively within its boundaries. The complex and sometimes unique provisions of the Treaty make guidance as to the meaning and interpretation of its new rules essential. Kluwer Law International, in partnership with the Amsterdam and Washington D.C. offices of the eminent law firm, Baker and McKenzie, has undertaken publication of this informative looseleaf work in an effort to provide practitioners with a sophisticated comprehension of the ramifications of the Treaty. This Commentary presents a detailed discussion of the various provisions of the Treaty and their context within the domestic tax legislation of the United States and the Netherlands, placing special emphasis on the complex fiscal interrelationship between the two countries. Practical features include + article-by-article commentary on the Treaty; + important caveats, such as a specification of differences between the Treaty and the provisions of the OECD model; + case law; + relevant literature; + detailed annexes, allowing the user to review the text of the Treaty and protocol in both English and Dutch; and + text of the correspondence, memorandum of understanding, exchange of notes, U.S. Treasury Department Technical Explanation, U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Report, Dutch Memorie van Antwoord and implementary rules, as well as other important documents. The practicality and quality of the guidance it provides make Commentary to the United States-Netherlands Income Tax Convention a highly-valued resource for practitioners dealing with tax issues.

Book Description

Headframes dominate the landscape of mining communities in Northeastern Ontario and Northwestern Quebec. Distinctive structures built to house the apparatus at the head of the mine shaft, headframes tower above their surroundings, reminding every resident that without the mine, there would be no reason for their settlement to exist. For the past several years, photographer Louie Palu and writer Charlie Angus have been documenting historic mining sites in the north. Many of these have since been erased from the landscape.

Growing up Jewish........2005-08-20

This delightful book invites those who read it to begin a magnificent adventure into Jewish freedom and responsibility.

Dr. Hoffman opens the door for the youthful Bar/Bat Mitzvah (son or daughter of The Covenant) to enter the sacred world of a loving, rich, meaningful, and creative Jewish life. Hoffman challenges the reader to thoughtful introspection and examination of Jewish heart, soul, and identity.

This is not a book for those who need to be spoon fed information. Hoffman's book is a guide for those who are willing to wrestle with angels for the prize of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

If you want to give a gift that will help The Jewish Spirit to flourish, this is it. This book will be treasured and loved as the years pass by. Its true worth will not be fully known until My Bar/Bat Mitzvah is re-read many years from now as the book is examined by generations of Jewish children yet to be born.

This is the perfect Bar/Bat Mitzvah gift. Giving the gift of Jewish Soul is a very wise choice indeed.

Show Me The Money.......2005-12-24

Use this guide to evaluate and improve your fundraising. The handy checklists cover getting support from government agencies, foundations, corporations, planned gifts, direct mail, and special events.
Ideal for Board Members and Management use before launching a development campaign.

Great Overview on How Ready You Are to Do More Fundraising.......2000-07-09

This workbook is aimed at the leader of a nonprofit organization that is raising funds or plans to engage in fundraising. I read it from the perspective of a board member for a nonprofit that desperately needs to raise more funds, and I found it very helpful. I recommended that our executive director get and use this workbook.

The workbook is jointly sponsored by the Center for Philanthropy at Indiana University and the Department of Public Administration at Baruch College/The City University of New York. It was tested anonymously with organization executives to help them improve their fundraising before being published.

As the author states, "This guide is for nonprofit leaders who are not satisfied with the amounts of money their organizations are raising." That must be about everyone.

The book works in three areas: (1) assessing your present fundraising to see what you can do to improve on it (2) using your analysis to convince your board or other executives that spending time and money to improve long-term fundraising capability is a good investment and (3) getting in the habit of using self-assessment of your fundraising.

The initial self-assessment is broken up into three parts: your general structure and management; your fundraising readiness; and the effectiveness of your fundraising efforts now.

You then use the results of the initial self-assessment to get support based on what was learned. If your assessment is strong enough, you can go on to look more closely at various areas for fundraising in the second set of self-assessments: directors, major donors, direct mail campaigns, corporations, foundations, government agencies, special events, federated fundraising organizations like The United Way, bequests and planned giving, and telethons. Each area has its own set of self-assessment questions.

I found the questions to be very effective in diagnosing why the nonprofit I serve with makes progress in some areas and doesn't in other areas. If we choose to, we can use these lists to pick our opportunities and organize our actions. I hope we do that.

Even if you plan to use a fundraising consultant, I think this workbook would be a good background to use first to put yourself in perspective for the advice your consultant will give you.

The book also has a very thorough appendix of resources (tied to each subject), an extensive bibliography, list of periodicals, and resource groups you can draw on. My only concern was how up-to-date this information is, given the age of the book. One of the resource organizations can probably help you with that if you cannot find something or someone.

Overcome your stalled thinking about how you should raise funds, become more effective, and serve all humanity more effectively as a result!

Book Description

These memoirs of a renowned American biologist deal with his traumatic childhood in Nazi Berlin, his young adulthood in Illinois, his first postwar return to Berlin in 1946 as a scientific advisor to the US Military Government, and his participation in California in the exciting early scientific breakthroughs in the development of molecular biology that transformed the 20th century life sciences. The red thread of these memoirs is the author's failed love affair with a young German actress he met in Berlin in 1946 on the day his story opens and saw for the last time in 1950 on the day his story closes.

Stent's Early Memoir: Nazis, Women ..........2001-05-23

This very readable and forthright autobiography covers the first 26 years of life of one of the leading American molecular biologists. The rich fabric of its story is told in part in beautiful letters. His recollections reflect both, a lifetime of incisive analysis and the mellow philosophical perspective of a septuagenarian. This multifaceted memoir can be read at varying levels of depth, reaching from the unencumbered experience of a middleschool student to the sophistication of a postgraduate, and it adresses a multitude of aspects of social and intellectual life. Though chockful with historical detail, it presents common and personal occurrences and opinions with humor, irony, even satire, and it is at least in parts breathtakingly thrilling. The first part of the book describes the author's upbringing in a partially assimilated, reform Jewish family. Starting out as an unexpected and spoiled addition to two older siblings, Stent evokes the social and cultural life enjoyed by well-to-do femilies in the German capital Berlin during the 1920s Weimar regime. Bereft by the tragic illness and death of his doting mother, the boy is increasingly consternated, isolated and frightened by the rapidly unfolding official anti-Semitism of Nazi Germany, and he is imprinted with the terror of the Nuremberg progromes and the 1938 Kristallnacht. With father and siblings already abroad, the 14-year-old and his stepmother embark on a dangerous, illegal escape that leads them to safety. Having finally reached Chicago, the adolescent, essentially on his own and pitifully poor, completes his schooling and strives for a college education. The cultural change left him totally unprepared for dealing with coeds, in whom he is now greatly interested. He starts out more or less undetermined in his search for a woman and a career, and he learns to grab and eventually finagle opportunities. As member of a government technical branch, he returns in 1947 to Germany and his beloved , now war-torn Berlin, but having the power of both an American uniform and American cigarettes. Back home in the US, he struggles with the excitement and intellectual challenge of reseaarch, its potential fame, and the parternalistic sociality inherent in a research career. The latter's cost is deferment of a mature sex and love life. This dilemma and his racial victimization affirm his self-perception as a "lucky self-hater." Despite his passionate sexuality, he is in his relationships with women enotionally unresponsive, undecided, or at times (he says) a cad. Unwittingly, he victimizes the "other" but, in the final analysis, again himself. The last part of the book sets forth the beginnings of molecular biology, in which Stent participated as an early member of Max Delbrueck's groupon bacteriphage research. Though lacking literature references, the book's historical data appear to have been verified during the author's 1985-1991 research fellowships. Stent's autobiography is more thoughtful than James Watson's "The Double Helix," of which Stent has been a renown critic. Stent perceives science as a sociocultural activity and addresses both its lofty ideals and its flaws. A major topic is anti-Semitism and the arrogance that feeds into it. Stent conveys to his readers an understanding of its many faces and of the sociocultural evil of any racism. By pointing out the splinter in his own, the victim's, eye, he proves that it is humanly almost impossible to be totally free from racism. Biophysicist Stent does not embrace the reductionism prevailing in molecular biology. He seems to warn of its dangers to the emotional development and humanization of budding scientists. Knowing that modern physics contradicts the subject-object separation time-honored in biological thinking, he commits himself in his memoir to being both. My favorite piquantery among the many in his recollections is a play with an allusion of his first name with Wagner's Gunther. It leads to a summary, rather self-deprecating evaluation of his scientific merits (pp.15-16). Scientific papers begin customarily with a summary of the salient points: here, the image of the great "hero" scientist will be rejected. Rather, Stent wants to be perceived, warts and all, as the protagonist of his bittersweet story.
