This book was released on 2010-01-22 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complaint was made that over a five-year period the Member for Leyton and Wanstead, Harry Cohen, had claimed more than £100,000 against the Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) for his designated second home in his constituency, having identified as his main home a house in Colchester, Essex. It was also pointed out that there were entries by Mr Cohen in the Register of Members' Financial Interests to the effect that he owned and in one year received rental income from a property in Colchester. The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards investigated (his report appears as an appendix in this document). Mrs Cohen's ill-health meant that from April 2004 their constituency home became their main home, and the Commissioner finds that Mr Cohen was in breach of the rules in identifying Colchester as the main home. The Committee agrees with the Commissioner that Mr Cohen should have continued to register the rental income from his Colchester house, following the initial registration in 2001 and notes he has now complied with registration requirements. The Committee also agrees that Mr Cohen was in serious breach of the rules in claiming Parliamentary allowances against the constituency property which was in effect the main home. Mr Cohen should apologise with a personal statement on the floor of the House and the full amount of resettlement grant (£65,000) which would be payable when he leaves the House (at the end of this Parliament) should be withheld.

This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Paul Kennedy's review of the conclusion of the Committee's 7th report of session 2009-10 concurs that the level of Mr Cohen's culpability is high and that what he did should still be regarded as a particularly serious breach of the rules of the House, notwithstanding new evidence. In Sir Paul's view it was entirely appropriate for him to have been required to apologise by means of a personal statement on the floor of the House. He was also satisfied with the factual conclusions previously drawn. As to the Committee's recommendation that the full amount of Mr Cohen's £65,000 resettlement grant should be withheld there is only the question of the balance of about £4,000 remaining after the £61,000 received to which Mr Cohen was not entitled. If interest on the money wrongly claimed were to be taken into account the total debt the total debt shown to be recoverable would be well in excess of the £65,000 resettlement grant. Mrs Cohen's serious health problems and the devastating effect of the investigation, whilst recognised, do not render the Committee's recommendation in relation to the resettlement grant disproportionate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolfgang Doeblin, one of the greatest probabilists of this century, died in action during World War II at the age of twenty-five. He left behind several seminal contributions which have profoundly influenced the field and continue to provide inspiration for current research. This book is based on papers presented at the conference, `Fifty Years after Doeblin: Developments in the Theory of Markov Chains, Markov Processes, and Sums of Random Variables', held at Blaubeuren, Germany, in November 1991. Presented here for the first time is an account of Doeblin's life and work, revealing the circumstances of his tragic death in 1940. Organized into sections according to topic, the papers describe both Doeblin's original contributions as well as current developments. With contributions by top probabilists from sixteen countries, this book will interest both researchers in probability and science historians.

Book excerpt: Being healthy is easier, less expensive, and a whole lot more enjoyable than you think. Much of the health advice we receive today tells us that in order to be healthy, we must consume a Spartan diet, exercise with the intensity of an Olympic athlete, and take a drug for every ailment. We constantly worry about the foods we should or shouldn't be eating and the medical tests we have neglected to take. And all that worry costs us dearly--financially, emotionally, and physically. In The Good Vices, prominent naturopathic physician Dr. Harry Ofgang and health journalist Erik Ofgang tear down decades of myth and prejudice to reveal how some of our guilty pleasures are not only okay but actually good for our health. For example: Like wine, moderate beer and spirit consumption raises our bodies' level of good cholesterol, which protects against heart disease. Egg yolks are an excellent source of important fat-soluble vitamins. Research suggests that moderate exercisers can be at least as healthy as, and sometimes even healthier than, those who exercise intensively. Forget what you thought you knew about what's healthy, and enjoy some good vices instead.
Download or read book Leonard Cohen written by Harry Freedman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leonard Cohen's music is studded with allusions to Jewish and Christian tradition, as well as Kabbalah and Zen. This book is about the ethos, origins, and traditions in Cohen's lyrics. He was as familiar with Christian traditions as he was Jewish. He is not concerned with confessional barriers, they simply impede access to the deep well of spiritual lore from which he draws. This is not a biography but a biographical narrative into the treatment of each song or theme, so that by the end the reader will in fact have a good understanding of Cohen's life story. Print run 25,000."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Tackling pensioner poverty written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Work and Pensions Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The level of pensioner poverty has declined markedly since 1997. However, there are still 2 million pensioners in poverty and 1.1 million who live on below 50% of median income. The Committee considers this to be unacceptable, and in this report looks at what more the Government could do to lift pensioners out of poverty. Pension Credit has lifted large numbers of pensioners out of poverty. Take-up of Pension Credit improved rapidly after its introduction, but has since levelled off with many eligible pensioners still not claiming. Despite the best efforts of the Pension Disability and Carers Service (PDCS) it is seeing diminishing returns for its efforts. Take-up of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit amongst pensioners has also declined since 1997. Improving take-up of all three benefits would markedly improve pensioner poverty. Local Authorities need to work much more closely with PDCS, to ensure that information on people who may be eligible for Pension Credit, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit are (with permission) exchanged in both directions. This is not done at present and should therefore be trialled and depending on its success applied nationally. The Department has put a lot of effort into encouraging pensioners to claim Pension Credit, then directing them towards other benefits. The Committee concludes that there should be a single phone line for all three benefits.The lack of data PDCS collects on Pension Credit take-up, especially amongst vulnerable groups is a disappointment for the Committee and makes it very difficult for them to suggest ways to effectively target these groups.The automaticity pilots introduced in the Welfare Reform Bill is welcomed as is the Department taking a long term approach and seeking to find innovative ways to improve take-up. Among other benefits the Personal Expenses Allowance (PEA) is looked at, and also the differences between Disability Living Allowance (DLA) payable to those who become disabled under 65, and Attendance Allowance (AA), payable to those who become disabled after the age of 65. The Committee were impressed by the model used by Service Canada, which provides advice on all federal benefits, and provides signposting to other services. While no pensioner should be expected to work after 65, many would like to. Working longer can allow them to maintain social contacts, and to defer claiming a pension, something that can have a positive effect on their future income. The Committee calls for the Default Retirement Age to be abolished and for protection from discrimination for older workers to be strengthened, to ensure that every pensioner who wishes to can continue working. Past recessions have led to disproportionate numbers of older workers over 50 losing their jobs and never working again. The Department must not allow this to happen again.
