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
The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. In 2008,
Paul Newman tasked his best friend with interviewing the people who
had shaped his life, in order to create an oral history of it.
After hearing and reading what they had to say, Newman dictated his
own version. Now, this long-lost memoir will be published. Full of
wonderful stories and recollections by his family, friends, and
such luminaries as Elia Kazan, Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill and
Martin Ritt, this book will surprise and shock readers as it
reveals Newman's previously unknown sides. In this extraordinary
memoir, Newman details his fascinating story: from troubled
beginnings, marked by fraught relationships with both his mother
and father, to the iconic film roles (both good and bad) that
cemented his status as a Hollywood icon and heartthrob, and the
complicated relationships that were formed along the way.

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.

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.
This collection of original essays on the practice of linguistic fieldwork and language documentation by twelve leading field linguists considers the study of languages in a natural setting.

Balkan Legacies is a study of the aftermath of war and state
socialism in the contemporary Balkans. The authors look at the
inescapable inheritances of the recent past and those that the
present has to deal with. The book's key theme is the interaction,
often subliminal, of the experiences of war and socialism in
contemporary society in the region. Fifteen contributors approach
this topic from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and through a
variety of interpretive lenses, collectively drawing a composite
picture of the most enduring legacies of conflict and ideological
transition in the region, without neglecting national and local
peculiarities. The guiding questions addressed are: what is the
relationship between memories of war, dictatorship (communist or
fascist), and present-day identity - especially from the
perspective of peripheral and minority groups and individuals? How
did these components interact with each other to produce the
political and social culture of the Balkan Peninsula today? The
answers show the ways in which the experiences of the latter part
of the twentieth century have defined and shaped the region in the
twenty-first century.
