Mayor Shepherd called the meeting to order at 6:07 p.m. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION INTERVIEW The Council interviewed Nathan Wimmer for consideration to fill one of the vacancies on the Parks and Recreation Commission. DISCUSSION ON CDBG PROGRAMMING Stacy Millgate, CDBG Coordinator, distributed a handout reflecting the estimated funding allocation the City would receive and possible programming of funds. It also reflected suggested projects for consideration by the Council and she reviewed it with the Council pointing out the following: The three public service agencies requesting funding were o Family Connection Center o Davis Community Learning Center o Safe Harbor These were estimated figures specific for funding because HUD had not actually approved the amount for the funding yet. Funds had been designated for administering the CDBG program. 1 Ms. Millgate reported there would be an anticipated remaining balance of approximately $153,616 which would need to be allocated for programming and requested direction from the Council. She reminded the Council in the past the balance of the funding had been designated for an infrastructure project in a low income area. She referred to the handout which had some new projects suggested by staff and reviewed those with the Council: Purchase a building lot for a newly constructed home. Provide Emergency Home Repairs, partnering with Davis County. Provide a Housing Rehab Program. Adam Lenhard, City Manager, explained an Emergency Home Repair program was currently administered by Davis County and if a Clearfield resident was to call and request those services they would be denied. He continued in order to avoid that circumstance the City would need to partner and contribute to the program. He expressed his opinion the administrative cost of ten percent would be worth the expense. A discussion took place regarding if a cap was in place and what discretion or criteria was used to determine the worthiness of the request. Ms. Millgate mentioned the City could put restrictions in place and the County would administer the program accordingly. Mayor Shepherd stated he would like to see the City implement a Housing Rehab program which would improve the look and marketability of houses in Clearfield. He explained the program could be implemented similarly to the Down Payment Assistance Program in that the homeowner would have to obligate matching funds. He continued there would also need to be a residency requirement for a designated time frame after improvements were made. A discussion took

    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 3/6/19) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The cost for each is $300 ($200 if using rhythm section only). The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** To place an order, please e-mail [email protected] . Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Voice parts can also be reduced or simplified for smaller ensembles. • Adjustments often need to be made if you want to use a previously arranged title in a different show function than it was originally intended. This is especially true of arrangements written as a costume change or a transition number. I am more than happy to consult and make sure a previously arranged title fits with your show design. • Please communicate with me if your band instrumentation changes dramatically during the season, especially when it comes to horn players.

  • The Role of Pawnshops in Risk Coping in Early Twentieth-Century Japan∗ Tatsuki Inoue†
    The role of pawnshops in risk coping in early twentieth-century Japan∗ Tatsuki Inoue† Abstract This study examines the role of pawnshops as a risk-coping device in prewar Japan. Using data on pawnshop loans for more than 250 municipalities and exploiting the 1918–1920 influenza pandemic as a natural experiment, we find that the adverse health shock increased the total amount of loans from pawnshops. This is because those who regularly relied on pawnshops borrowed more money from them than usual to cope with the adverse health shock, and not because the number of people who used pawnshops increased. Keywords: Pawnshop; Risk-coping strategy; Borrowing; Influenza pandemic; Prewar Japan ∗ I would like to express my gratitude to Tetsuji Okazaki, Kota Ogasawara, and participants at the Economic History Society Annual Conference 2019 at Queen’s University Belfast and 2019 Japanese Economic Association Spring Meeting at Musashi University for their helpful comments.

E-mail: inoue- [email protected]. 1 Introduction Most industrialized countries were characterized by huge income inequality before World War II (Piketty 2014). Since formal systems of social insurance were underdeveloped, the poor were more vulnerable to unforeseen accidents such as illness than today’s poor people in developed countries. Furthermore, an increase in migration removed people from the traditional informal social insurance systems provided by their local communities (Gorsky 1998).

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

For three hundred and fifty years, through twelve generations, the Medici lived in, work in, and to a considerable degree ruled the city. No Medici name rises higher in recorded history than Lorenzo di Piero de’ Medici. Lorenzo il Magnifico is remembered as a patron of the arts, poet, humanist, diplomat and savior of Florence during the Pazzi War. His legacy as a competent banker, manager and caretaker of the family business empire is sadly much less triumphant. Through the “quirks of genealogical fortune”, including a string of untimely deaths of male members of the Medici, Lorenzo found himself to be the sole owner of the Medici Bank in its sixth decade of business.

  • Betting on the Papal Election in Sixteenth-Century Rome John M
    Number 32 May 2015 Center for Gaming Research Occasional Paper Series University Libraries University of Nevada, Las Vegas Betting on the Papal Election in Sixteenth-Century Rome John M. Hunt ABSTRACT: Wagering on the papal election was a popular pastime among all levels of society in sixteenth-century Rome. Brokers and their clients kept well-informed of the election taking place within the closed doors of the con- clave. Consequently, wagering on the election proved to be a source of disruption since—intentionally or not—it begat rumors of a pope’s election and spurred brokers to use illicit means of discovering the secrets of the conclave. The papacy thus initiated a campaign against the practice during the last twenty-five years of the sixteenth century. This campaign, partially inspired by the Counter-Reformation’s impulse to reform popular mores, proved successful as wagering on papal elections disappeared after 1592. Keywords: Rome, sixteenth century, popes, conclave, papal elections, wagering, the Banchi, avvisi, scommesse, Counter Reformation, papacy Preferred Citation: John M. Hunt, “Betting on the Papal Election in Sixteenth-Century Rome,” Occasional Paper Series, 32. Las Vegas, Center for Gaming Research, University Libraries, 2015. Few events excited the people of Rome more than The reality, however, was another picture altogeth- the election of the pope, the holy father of the Catho- er.

Nevertheless, there is a consider- able gap between demand and supply in microfinance. Demand for microcredits cannot be satisfied by for- mal and semi-formal suppliers. This also holds true for Sri Lanka, even though many microfinance institu- tions there supply credits. This gap is closed by informal credit suppliers in Sri Lanka. However, the credit supply of informal financial actors such as moneylenders and ROSCAs is inadequate because credit condi- tions are unfavourable. Moneylenders, for example, charge very high interest rates compared with suppliers from the formal or semi-formal financial sector, and moneylenders sometimes adopt illegal practices. Despite the important role of informal credit suppliers for microfinance, they have until now been the subject of very little research in Sri Lanka. Clearly, it is very difficult to approach informal credit suppliers, par- tic ularly moneylenders. Nevertheless, our research team managed to conduct a number of interviews with the two most important informal suppliers of credit: moneylenders and ROSCAs.

  • PD 1 Book.Ind
    FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH The French Connection Volume One by Patrick Delaforce FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH: The French Connection by Patrick Delaforce This is a book designed and produced to interest and encourage readers to delve back into the centuries in search of their ancestry. Interest in Family History research has grown considerably and is now widespread. A hundred regional Family History Societies cover the U.K. with a total membership of over 50,000 families. Another hundred societies are to be found in America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, with over 1,000,000 families as members. The romantic story of the Delaforces over the last five hundred years has been carefully researched. Step by step the reader is shown how the research was accomplished using dozens of different sources. Genealogy is the construction of a family tree, but Family History research puts flesh on the bare bones. Delaforces were diplomats and fishmongers, Kingsʼ men and silk weavers, Secret Agents and wine shippers, French Huguenots and pawnbrokers. A very detailed chapter lists 500 cross-indexed Sources in the U.K. for the reader and would-be Family Historian. Other chapters bring to life the discovery of American, Australian and Canadian families with appropriate local sources of family history research for readers interested in locating possible relatives in those countries. Twelve pages of old prints, certificates, wills and photographs illustrate the by-gone centuries. The book jacket cover depicts the dramatic landing of the French Huguenot refugees

  • The Medici Archives
    10 January The Medici Archives ARELY, if ever, can documents concerning a single family Downloaded from R have come into the market which have such a range as A. D. 1084 to 1771 and are of such importance as the Medici archives which are to meet their fate at Christie's on 4 February and the three following days.1 They form, needless to say, a collection of consummate interest for all students of Italian, http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ history. The name Medici first appears in the second document, dated 5 December 1240, which relates to the bankruptcy of Guido Guerra, whom Dante has immortalized in canto xvi of the Inferno. In this Ugo and Galgano de' Medici appear among the creditors. The earliest Medici mentioned in the catalogue as holding public office is Bonino, who as Gonfalonier of Justice grants a pardon, which is signed by Salvi Medici, notary public. The Medici, however, had been before this a powerful and trouble- at Stockholms Universitet on July 10, 2015 some family throughout the stormy times which preceded and followed Dante's exile. The first section of the documents is mainly concerned with deeds of gift and sale, marriage contracts, wills, receipts, powers of attorney, legal opinions, presentations to benefices, papal briefs, patents of naturalization and nobility. An illustration is given of one of two briefs by Leo X, written and signed in the beautiful handwriting of Bembo. From an historical and biographical point of view the chief value of the collection consists in Lorenzo's letters, of which 166 are holograph, and which, together with other political documents, form the second and third sections of the catalogue.

    2007:016 MASTER'S THESIS E-pawnshop Investigating the possibility to incorporate the usage of Internet for pawnshop specific processes Lina Lanäs Marcin Nowak Luleå University of Technology Master Thesis, Continuation Courses Computer and Systems Science Department of Business Administration and Social Sciences Division of Information Systems Sciences 2007:016 - ISSN: 1653-0187 - ISRN: LTU-PB-EX--07/016--SE Acknowledgements This thesis completes our studies for a Master of Science degree in e-Commerce at Luleå Technology University in Sweden. The thesis was carried out in Luleå during the autumn 2006. First of all, we would like to thank our directing teacher Svante Edzén who made us think through our decisions carefully and for guiding us back on track when we lost direction. We would also like to thank our respondents who willingly shared their experiences, a great deal of information and patiently answered all our questions. Last, but not the least, we like to thank our families and friends for their support. Luleå University of Technology, 2007-05-15 Lina Lanäs Marcin Nowak “Sic itur ad astra.” - Vergilius Abstract The pawnshop industry is a considerable business today. There is an obvious and even growing demand for small short term loans. These kind of loans are something that traditional banks are generally not interested in offering due to high costs to initiate a loan. Pawnbroking is the oldest method of lending money and the way of conduct is virtually still the same. This means that most processes at a pawnshop are manual. Owners of SMEs (Small and Medium sized Enterprises, pawnshops included) often assume that their business is unique and not fitted for incorporating informational technology such as Internet.
