  • INCOME TAX in COMMON LAW JURISDICTIONS: from the Origins
    This page intentionally left blank INCOME TAX IN COMMON LAW JURISDICTIONS Many common law countries inherited British income tax rules. Whether the inheritance was direct or indirect, the rationale and origins of some of the central rules seem almost lost in history. Commonly, they are simply explained as being of British origin without further explanation, but even in Britain the origins of some of these rules are less than clear. This book traces the roots of the income tax and its precursors in Britain and in its former colonies to 1820. Harris focuses on four issues that are central to common law income taxes and which are of particular current relevance: the capitalÀrevenue distinction, the taxation of corporations, taxation on both a source and residence basis, and the schedular approach to taxation. He uses an historical per- spective to make observations about the future direction of income tax in the modern world. Volume II will cover the period 1820 to 2000. PETER HARRIS is a solicitor whose primary interest is in tax law. He is also a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Law of the University of Cambridge, Deputy Director of the Faculty’s Centre for Tax Law, and a Tutor, Director of Studies and Fellow at Churchill College. CAMBRIDGE TAX LAW SERIES Tax law is a growing area of interest, as it is included as a subdivision in many areas of study and is a key consideration in business needs throughout the world. Books in this Series will expose the theoretical underpinning behind the law to shed light on the taxation systems, so that the questions to be asked when addressing an issue become clear.

  • Application of Link Integrity Techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Department of Electronics and Computer Science A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD Supervisor: Prof. Wendy Hall and Dr Les Carr Examiner: Dr Nick Gibbins Application of Link Integrity techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web by Rob Vesse February 10, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD by Rob Vesse As the Web of Linked Data expands it will become increasingly important to preserve data and links such that the data remains available and usable. In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.

They sailed up the Connecticut River and built a fort near present-day Hartford. The first English settlers were Puritans from the Massachusetts Bay Colony who arrived in Connecticut in 1633 under the leadership of Reverend Thomas Hooker. After their arrival, several colonies were established including the Colony of Connecticut, Old Saybrooke, Windsor, Hartford, and New Haven. Hartford quickly became an important center of government and trade. Much of the land settled by the colonists was purchased from the Mohegan Indians. The Pequot tribe, however, wanted the land. Soon, violence erupted between settlers and the Pequots in 1637. In what came to be known as the Pequot War, the Pequots were systematically massacred by not only the settlers, but by Mohegan and Naragansett Indians that had previously warred against them.

  • DELAWARE COLONY Reading Comprehension
    DELAWARE COLONY Reading Comprehension The Dutch first settled Delaware in 1631, although all of the original settlers were killed in a disagreement with local Indians. Seven years later, the Swedes set up a colony and trading post at Fort Christina in the northern part of Delaware. Today, Fort Christina is called Wilmington. In 1651, the Dutch reclaimed the area and built a fort near present-day New Castle. By 1655, the Dutch had forcibly removed the Swedes from the area and reincorporated Delaware into their empire. In 1664, however, the British removed the Dutch from the East Coast. After William Penn was granted the land that became Pennsylvania in 1682, he persuaded the Duke of York to lease him the western shore of Delaware Bay so that his colony could have an outlet to the sea. The Duke agreed and henceforth, Penn's original charter included the northern sections of present-day Delaware, which became known as "The Lower Counties on the Delaware." The decision by the Duke angered Lord Baltimore, the first proprietary governor of Maryland, who believed he had the rights to it. A lengthy and occasionally violent 100-year conflict between Penn's heirs and Baltimore's heirs was finally settled when Delaware's border was defined in 1750 and when the Maryland/Pennsylvania and Maryland/Delaware borders were defined as part of the Mason-Dixon line in 1768. Shortly after the incorporation of the "Lower Counties" into Pennsylvania, the sparsely populated region grew isolated from the bustling city of Philadelphia and began holding their own legislative assemblies, though they remained subjects of the Pennsylvania governor.

    Colonies Take Root 1587 - 1752 Cold winters, short growing season, and a rugged landscape Temperate climate, longer growing season, lowland landscape of fields and valleys Warm climate, long growing season, landscape with broad fields and valleys Geography lent itself to fishing, lumber harvesting, and small-scale subsistence farming. Known as the “bread basket” of the colonies for exporting staple crops, such as wheat and grain Exported the labor-intensive cash crops of tobacco, rice, and indigo New England Colonies Life in was not easy. Because the growing season was short and the soil was rocky, most farmers practiced . They produced enough food for themselves and sometimes a little extra to trade in town. New England villages developed in a unique way. Large plots of land were sold to groups of people, often the congregation of a Puritan church. Congregations divided the land among their members. Usually a cluster of farmhouses surrounded a central square, called a green or common, and a meeting- house where public activities took place. Changes in Puritan Society The Puritan religion began a gradual decline in the early 1700s. The three factors led to this decline. 1. Economic success competed with Puritan Ideas. Many colonists began to care as much about business and material things as much as they did about religion. 2. Increasing competition from other religious groups. Baptists and Anglicans established churches in New England. 3. Political changes also weakened the Puritan community. New charters guaranteed religious freedom and granted the right to vote based on property ownership instead of church membership. Major Industries of New England ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO ACTIVITY COLONISTS Fishing Fish could be sold for consumption or export.

  • British Colonization of the Americas from Wikipedia, the Free
    British colonization of the Americas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from British colonisation of the Americas) European colonization of the Americas First colonization British Couronian Danish Dutch French German Hospitaller Italian Norse Portuguese Russian Scottish Spanish Swedish Colonization of Canada Colonization of the U.S. Decolonization v t e British colonization of the Americas (including colonization by both the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland before the Acts of Union, which created the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707) began in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia and r eached its peak when colonies had been established throughout the Americas. The English, and later the British, were among the most important colonizers of the Americas, and their American empire came to rival the Spanish American colonies in military and economic might. Three types of colonies existed in the British Empire in America during the heig ht of its power in the eighteenth century. These were charter colonies, propriet ary colonies and royal colonies. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars (18031815), British territories in the Americas were slowly granted more responsible govern ment. In 1838 the Durham Report recommended full responsible government for Cana da but this did not get fully implemented for another decade. Eventually with th e Confederation of Canada, the Canadian colonies were granted a significant amou nt of autonomy and became a self-governing Dominion in 1867. Other colonies in t he rest of the Americas followed at a much slower pace. In this way, two countri es in North America, ten in the Caribbean, and one in South America have receive d their independence from the United Kingdom.
