  • A Study Into the Material Culture of the Morgan Family of Tredegar House
    A Study into the Material Culture of the Morgan Family of INTRODUCTION Tredegar House in the late-Seventeenth Century There are many reasons why people wanted to own material goods, some practical, some financial, some psychological. This makes it necessary to explore social as well as economic factors. 1 Becky Gingell As Lorna Weatherill’s comments above, there are a variety of ways in which the study of material culture can be examined, as well as a number of reasons for such an investigation. The study of material culture can provide a vivid insight into the past, and a vast amount can be discovered about the individuals who owned the household goods. The ability to purchase new items was obviously determined by the person’s financial background and whether they were a spendthrift by nature, or perhaps less inclined to use their wealth, ranging from practical necessities of the household to the accumulation of personal niceties, to the more fundamental psychological reasons for owning such goods – desire and emulation. The Morgan family of Tredegar has had a long association with the county of Monmouthshire dating as far back as the fifteenth century and finally ending in the twentieth century when the house was finally sold. Each member of the Morgan family was famous during their lifetime and several grew to be significant entrepreneurs, while others became renowned for their eccentric behaviour. What this study will concentrate upon is the ownership of Tredegar House during the late-seventeenth century and the way in which the estate was run coinciding with the material culture of the owners during this period.

    From: Biron, Cynthia <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 15, 2021 11:52 AM To: Friedman, Paula K <[email protected]> Subject: No short Term rentals in Brookline Dear Paula, I am writing as a concerned condominium owner and building trustee in Brookline. I am a long term owner and resident of 44 Browne Street in Coolidge Corner, in a large 50 unit building. I am very concerned about the possible changes to Brookline’s zoning by-law that will allow short term rentals in apartments. This is problematic and very concerning For a number of reasons. This allowance could disrupt the quiet enjoyment of our home with the increased activity of more people coming and going on the property. Having more and diFFerent groups oF strangers on the property will increase the cost oF shared utilities, water, trash, increased and wear and tear on the building. Safety is also a very big concern; in addition to personal safety issues, there is an increased risk oF fire and accidents, resulting in increased liability claims and expenses incurred by all owners. Other issues include a loss of a sense of community by having too many strangers coming and going, and Fewer long term residents. Also, Condominium documents are widely varied. Some associations may need to amend their documents, which would be especially challenging after legalizing Short term rentals, and without securing the high majority needed (75%) to change documents, current residents may Find themselves forced to live with Short-term rentals, fundamentally changing their home environment. Lastly, condo owners seeking a STR certificate from the Town must be required to submit a form from the Association positively consenting to the presence oF a STR.

  • Short-Term Rental Tax Rate Chart by State
    State Short-Term Rental Tax Rate Chart – November 20181 Maximum State Rate (%) Comments Source Alabama 5.00% Owner/Operator Ala. Code § 40-26-1- (2018); Ala. Admin. Code A lodgings tax of 5.0 % is imposed in the 16-county Alabama mountain lakes r. 810-6-5-.13, .22 (2018) area. The rate in all other Alabama counties is 4.0%. The lodgings tax applies to all charges made for the use of rooms, lodgings, or other accommodations, including charges for personal property used or services furnished in the accommodations, by every person who is engaged in the business of furnishing accommodations to transients for less than 180 continuous days. The lodgings tax is due and payable in monthly installments on or before the twentieth day of the month following the month in which the tax accrues. Municipal and county lodging taxes may also apply. Ala. Dep’t Rev., Sales and Use Tax Rates (last visited Oct. 11, 2018) (search for specific local rates here) Facilitator Alabama does not require marketplace facilitators to collect lodging taxes on behalf of their hosts. However, facilitators may voluntarily collect those taxes. 1 The indicated rates reflect the amount of taxes imposed on a short-term rental on a statewide basis. A variety of local option taxes of varying amounts also apply in nearly all states. Information regarding local taxes and rates is available on state revenue/tax department websites. Note that local taxes are subject to frequent change. In some jurisdictions where there are no provisions specifically governing marketplace facilitators, such as Airbnb or VRBO, the facilitators have voluntarily entered into tax collecting agreements with the state and/or local governmental taxing authorities.

  • Keren: Difference in Middle East Mind-Set Deters Peace by JESSE BARRETT "Discrepancy Between States of Middle East," He Said
    / VOL. XXV. NO. 90 The ObserverFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19,1993 THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER SERVING NOTRE DAME AND SAINT MARY'S Ferry sinks, at least 1 ,000 dead PETIT GOAVE, Haiti (AP} - A packed ferry carrying up to 1,500 people .sank in stormy seas off Haiti, and only 285 people were known to have survived, the Red Cross said Thursday. Survivors told how they clung to floating objects, in one case a bag of charcoal, to stay alive. "The sea was full of people," said one survivor, 29-year-old Madeleine Julien, from her hospital bed in this coastal town. "I kept bumping into drowned people." The ferry Neptune went down late Tuesday off Petit Goave, 60 miles west of the capital. But communications are so crude outside the capital it took a group of about 60 survivors a day to first report the accident. U.S. aircraft and vessels dispatched Thursday to help in search-and-rescue efforts reported "lots of debris and lots of bodies," said Coast Guard spokesman, Cmdr. Larry Mizell, liaison in Port-au­ Prince. The Coast Guard said it had found more than 100 bodies floating off Petit Goave. Bodies were earlier reported washing up on the beaches of Miragoane, 18 miles to the west of Petit Goave. Mizell said there was "no correlation between this and the boat people," referring to the tens of thousands of Haitians who have fled their homeland by sea since the army ousted elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991. One survivor, Benjamin Sinclair, told the Photo Courtesy ot 1:!111 Mowle private Radio Metropole that as many as Irish Impact 1,500 people were aboard the triple-decker Bill Mowle, the Managing Editor/Photo Editor of the Dome, kicked off a poster benefit for South Bend's Center for the Homeless.
