The discovery of mistakes in pension scheme documents is as common
as it is potentially serious for the administration of the scheme
and for the sponsoring employer. The large sums invested in pension
schemes mean that such mistakes are often very costly indeed. This
book provides a practical guide to the different methods available
to correct commonly-occurring mistakes in the governing provisions
of pension schemes. It combines a detailed review of the law with
(where relevant) practical tips, including analysis of the
appropriate practice and procedure involved in the key methods of
correction. With a significant body of case law enabling more
authoritative answers to be given to the legal issues affecting the
correction of pension scheme mistakes, and more and more mistakes
being discovered because of the move to secure pension scheme
liabilities with insurance companies, trustees and employers need
swift and accurate legal advice on what they can do to correct such
mistakes. This book provides them and their legal advisers with
that advice ensuring they do not make the same costly mistakes that
others have made. This book will help the reader to: * To select
the most appropriate method of correcting the mistake * Consider
including provisions in the terms of the pension scheme which may
make the correction of the mistake easier and cheaper * Select the
most tax-efficient way of correcting the mistake * Understand the
processes involved in correcting the mistake * Better advise their
clients as to how to deal with the mistake
When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War,
the sacrifice of one million men who had died fighting for the
Habsburg monarchy now seemed to be in vain. This book is the first
of its kind to analyze how the Great War was interpreted,
commemorated, or forgotten across all the ex-Habsburg territories.
Each of the book's twelve chapters focuses on a separate region,
studying how the transition to peacetime was managed either by the
state, by war veterans, or by national minorities. This "splintered
war memory," where some posed as victors and some as losers, does
much to explain the fractious character of interwar Eastern Europe.
The Yugoslav state of the interwar period was a child of the Great
European War. Its borders were superimposed onto a topography of
conflict and killing, for it housed many war veterans who had
served or fought in opposing armies (those of the Central Powers
and the Entente) during the war. These veterans had been
adversaries but after 1918 became fellow subjects of a single
state, yet in many cases they carried into peace the divisions of
the war years. John Paul Newman tells their story, showing how the
South Slav state was unable to escape out of the shadow cast by the
First World War. Newman reveals how the deep fracture left by war
cut across the fragile states of 'New Europe' in the interwar
period, worsening their many political and social problems, and
bringing the region into a new conflict at the end of the interwar
period.
This book is a comprehensive grammar of Hausa, one of the largest
and most important languages of Africa. Hausa is spoken by some 35
million people as a first language and approximately 15 million
more as a second language. Paul Newman, a world authority on the
Hausa language, draws on two centuries of Hausa linguistic
scholarship to provide the most authoritative and detailed grammar
of the language ever written.
Unlike other grammars, this book is organized alphabetically.
Readers will appreciate the ease with which they can find the
specific individual topics that interest them. The grammar covers
such expected topics as tonology, noun plurals, and verbal
tense/aspect as well as often neglected topics, including verbal
idioms, proper names, and language games. Newman also incorporates
historical linguistic notes that explain and explicate current
Hausa phenomena, especially puzzling anomalies, in terms of their
Chadic and Afroasiatic origins.
This up-to-date volume, the first Hausa-English dictionary
published in a quarter of a century, is written with language
learners and practical users in mind. With over 10,000 entries, it
primarily covers Standard Nigerian Hausa but also includes numerous
forms from Niger and other dialect areas of Nigeria.
The dictionary includes new Hausa terminology for products, events,
and activities of the modern world. Its definitions show the use of
Hausa words in context, and particular attention is paid to idioms,
figurative meanings, and special usages. As a guide to
pronunciation, headwords and illustrative sentences are fully
marked for tone and vowel length. The book adopts a unique approach
to the presentation of verb forms that clarifies lexical
relationships and their correct usage.

Cameroon, and Ghana Hausa is one of the most widely spoken African
languages. It is known for its rich phonology and complex
morphological and verbal systems. Written by the world's leading
expert on Hausa, this ground-breaking book is a synthesis of his
life's work, and provides a lucid and comprehensive history of the
language. It describes Hausa as it existed in former times and sets
out subsequent changes in phonology, including tonology,
morphology, grammar, and lexicon. It also contains a large loanword
inventory, which highlights the history of Hausa's interaction with
other languages and peoples. It offers new insights not only on

Shameless exploitation has never been more fun nor done more
good for more people than when done by Newman's Own--the first
green food company to use all-natural ingredients, and still the
most successful.
It was 1982 when Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner made their foray
into local gourmet shops with bottles of their homemade salad
dressing. The venture was intended to be a lark, a way to poke fun
at the traditional way the market operates. Hurdling obstacle after
obstacle, they created the first company to mass-market all-natural
products, eliminating the chemicals, gums, and preservatives that
existed in food at the time. This picaresque saga is the inspiring
story of how the two friends parlayed the joke into a
multimillion-dollar company that gives "all" its profits to the
less fortunate without spending money on galas, mailings, and other
expensive outreaches. It also serves as a textbook for foundations
and charitable organizations looking to do the most good they can
with what they have.
Told in alternating voices, Newman and Hotchner have written a zany
tale that is a business model for entrepreneurs, an inspirational
book, and just plain delightful reading.
