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 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

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

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.

Williams, the emergence of 15-year-old sensation Coco Gauff, and of
course Andy Murray's comeback from injury in the doubles events.
