Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo. -

The Rule of Reason Doctrine in European Court of Justice Jurisprudence on Direct Taxation
canadian tax journal / revue fiscale canadienne (2008) vol. 56, no 1, 67 - 140 The Rule of Reason Doctrine in European Court of Justice Jurisprudence on Direct Taxation Elie Roth* P r é c i s Dans cet article, l’auteur fait un examen critique de la doctrine de la justification élaborée par la Cour européenne de justice dans sa jurisprudence sur l’imposition directe. Cette doctrine permet de déterminer si, et dans quelles circonstances, une mesure interne dont on juge qu’elle limite l’exercice d’une ou de plusieurs libertés fondamentales garanties par le traité sur l’uE, ou dont l’effet ou l’application est discriminatoire, peut être justifiée par des motifs d’intérêt public. L’auteur donne d’abord un aperçu de la doctrine de la justification, ou « règle de raison », élaborée par la Cour et met l’accent sur son application dans les causes portant sur l’imposition directe. La Cour a toujours interprété de façon très étroite les restrictions à l’exercice des libertés fondamentales contenues dans le traité sur l’uE et l’argument de l’intérêt public pour justifier une mesure fiscale interne restrictive ou discriminatoire. L’auteur laisse entendre que le principe de la non-discrimination élaboré par la Cour dans sa jurisprudence sur l’imposition directe favorise une interprétation plus large des motifs de justification potentiels dont elle a tenu compte à ce jour dans sa doctrine de la règle de raison, et il fait valoir que certains de ses récents jugements pourraient former un cadre en vue d’une interprétation plus pondérée de la règle de raison où la doctrine de la justification est élargie de façon à inclure une analyse des principes de politiques fiscales internationales pertinentes. -

De Beurs Van Nürnberg 2010
DE BEURS VAN NÜRNBERG 2010 D 1. ENKELE ECHO’S door Guy Bridoux Vertaling Luc Blommaerts en Philippe Callaert De organisatoren van de 61ste Messe stelden vast dat het aantal bezoekers zich rond 76.000 eenheden stabiliseert. Deze klaarblijkelijke stabiliteit verbergt echter een evolutie bij de aard van de deelnemers: het is een feit dat in ons domein de Hall 4A plaats heeft gegeven aan firma’s die er voorheen niet aanwezig waren, omdat de ingenomen ruimte door de groep Roco/Fleischmann, door Piko en andere gereduceerd was en omdat artisanale firma’s en producenten van toebehoren zoals Titan en Zimo niet aanwezig waren. Een sector die erg actief blijft is deze van de radiobesturing, waarbij de firma Stadlbauer één van de acht prijzen voor innovatie ontving voor zijn programma « Carrera Digital », terwijl de Chinezen een sterke voorkeur hadden voor de radiobesturing van helikopters. In andere domeinen zijn de artisanale producten zo goed als verdwenen, de kerstdecoratie is sterk ingekrompen en heeft plaats gemaakt voor carnavalartikelen. De sector van de parascolaire artikelen is uitgebreid, net zoals de aziatische deelnemers, met een Chinees overwicht. Betreffende de situatie van Märklin, die vorig jaar bij de opening van de Messe in het brandpunt van de belangstelling stond, dient gesteld dat de optimisten gelijk hebben gekregen, t.t.z. dat eenmaal gereorganiseerd, de firma opnieuw winstgevend is geworden, wat het de voorlopige beheerder toch nog niet mogelijk heeft gemaakt om een nieuwe investeerder aan te trekken. In 2009 heeft de firma alle buitenlandse filialen gesloten , behalve het Zwitserse. De integratie van Roco en Fleischmann onder de koepel van Modell- eisenbahn München zet zich verder, wat sedert januari voor België geleid heeft tot een gemeenschappelijke distributie via T2M. -
Song Settings of Heinrich Heine: a Comparative Analysis of Song Settings from the Poetry Perspective
SONG SETTINGS OF HEINRICH HEINE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SONG SETTINGS FROM THE POETRY PERSPECTIVE BY ELISABETH MARSHALL Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music, Indiana University December, 2013 Accepted by the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Music. ___________________________________ Johannes Türk, Research Director __________________________________ Carol Vaness, Chairperson __________________________________ Timothy Noble __________________________________ Patricia Stiles ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express her sincere gratitude to Johannes Türk, research director, for his long-suffering, generous, and careful guidance; to chairperson Carol Vaness for her consistent encouragement and unfailing support; to committee members Timothy Noble and Patricia Stiles for their faithful contributions of time and support, without which completion of this project would have been impossible. I also wish to thank Oscar Strasnoy, for his time and interviews via e-mail, and especially my friend and colleague, James Kallembach, for his invaluable assistance in the editing process. iii PREFACE Today there is an almost obsessive concern with the question of what is the “most accurate” historical performance of a given piece of music. In many performances and ensembles this leads to an investigation into the types of instruments or techniques of singing used in a given period, the number of performers employed, and other ensemble and technical concerns. Related to this concern for historical performance, but perhaps not as often considered, is the issue of the relationship between the original poem and a musical setting. -

Mai 1928 fuhr der Rheingold erstmals von Hoek van Holland Aund Amsterdam nach Basel. Namensgebend war der sagenumwo- bene Nibelungenschatz. Die Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft und die MITROPA machten mit dem violett-cremefarbenen Pullmanzug zunächst ein gutes Geschäft. Insbesondere erwies er sich auch als Trumpf ge- genüber dem von der Internationalen Schlafwagengesellschaft angebotenen Konkurrenzzug Edelweiss Amsterdam – Basel via Brüssel, Luxemburg und Straßburg. Für die meisten Reisenden bedeutete eine Fahrt im Rheingold mehr als nur hochkomfortabel ans Ziel zu gelangen. Wohlig in weiche Sessel zurück- gelehnt, ließen sie an den breiten Fenstern die Rheinlandschaft vorüberzie- hen, genossen deren sich im Streckenabschnitt Koblenz – Mainz entfaltende Pracht mit Burgen und Schlössern, malerischen Städten und Dörfern, reben- bewachsenen Hängen und dem weltberühmten Loreleyfelsen. Nicht zuletzt trug der enorme Werbeaufwand mit künstlerisch gestalteten Plakaten und Prospekten zum Erfolg des deutschen Pullmanzuges bei, Wa- gendurchläufe bis Luzern und Zürich erhöhten seine Attraktivität. Doch die 1930 voll einsetzende Wirtschaftskrise traf ihn gleichsam wie der auf dem Goldschatz im Rhein lastende Fluch des Nibelungenkönigs Alberich. Ab 1933 mieden ausländische Reisende die Route durch das von den National- sozialisten beherrschte Deutsche Reich, zudem gingen die Fahrgastzahlen aufgrund verschärfter Devisenkontrollen zurück. Erst die 1936 gesenkten Fahrpreiszuschläge und die 1938 deutlich angehobene Reisegeschwindig- keit bescherten dem Rheingold wieder mehr Zuspruch. -

On March 28, Roland Mack, the Mack family, the mayor (burgermeister) of Rust and special guests opened the park with a ribbon-cutting amid a flurry of showering confetti, balloons, and songs of celebration. The ceremony included a welcome from co- founder Roland Mack that reflected not only on how the park had changed over four decades, but the European community as well. Relation- ships across borders back in 1975 were a far cry from what they are today. It is that in- vigorated sense of European connectivity that has helped Germany’s largest theme park find astounding success.

INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations 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 through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed.
