Book Description
In light of current estimates that around seven million people are currently undersaving for retirement, the Government published a White Paper ("Personal accounts: a new way to save", Cm. 6975, ISBN 9780101697521) in December 2006, setting out proposals to reform the private pensions system and promote a new pensions saving culture. It sought to introduce a new scheme of personal accounts to provide access for people on moderate to low incomes to affordable and trusted, low-cost pension saving. All eligible employees would be automatically enrolled in either a personal account or an employer-sponsored scheme, with a new national minimum employer contribution of three per cent and tax relief equivalent to one per cent. The Committee's report welcomes the proposals for a new system of personal accounts and makes a number of recommendations designed to ensure the system is as simple as possible for employers and employees and operates effectively, including using the PAYE system to collect contributions; the level of choice of funds available and the adequacy of provision of financial advice. It also highlights the need for people to be encouraged to start saving for retirement immediately and not put it off until the scheme is established in 2012, in order to avoid the risk of creating a generation of non-savers.

Disease, Starvation & Death: Personal Accounts of Camp Lawton
Author: William Giles
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1411680502
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Camp Lawton was the largest prisoner of war camp constructed during the American Civil War. Built to replace Andersonville, at 42 acres it was almost twice the size of that more notorious prison. Confederate plans called for Camp Lawton to house up to 40,000 Union prisoners. Only just over 10,000 prisoners were captive there when Sherman's March to the Sea forced its evacuation. This book is the only work ever published which focuses entirely on Camp Lawton. It contains over a dozen eyewitness accounts, most of them long out of print, by Union soldiers held prisoner there. It also includes a short overview of the history of Camp Lawton and the "Roll of Honor," "names of the soldiers removed from Lawton National Cemetery to Beaufort National Cemetery." Camp Lawton is now on the site of Magnolia Springs State Park, where the editor is employed. For more information on Camp Lawton or Magnolia Springs State Park please visit http: //www.gastateparks.org/info/magspr/ or call 478-982-1660.

Hands on the Freedom Plow
Author: Faith S. Holsaert
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252098870
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 657
Book Description
In Hands on the Freedom Plow, fifty-two women--northern and southern, young and old, urban and rural, black, white, and Latina--share their courageous personal stories of working for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement. The testimonies gathered here present a sweeping personal history of SNCC: early sit-ins, voter registration campaigns, and freedom rides; the 1963 March on Washington, the Mississippi Freedom Summer, and the movements in Alabama and Maryland; and Black Power and antiwar activism. Since the women spent time in the Deep South, many also describe risking their lives through beatings and arrests and witnessing unspeakable violence. These intense stories depict women, many very young, dealing with extreme fear and finding the remarkable strength to survive. The women in SNCC acquired new skills, experienced personal growth, sustained one another, and even had fun in the midst of serious struggle. Readers are privy to their analyses of the Movement, its tactics, strategies, and underlying philosophies. The contributors revisit central debates of the struggle including the role of nonviolence and self-defense, the role of white people in a black-led movement, and the role of women within the Movement and the society at large. Each story reveals how the struggle for social change was formed, supported, and maintained by the women who kept their "hands on the freedom plow." As the editors write in the introduction, "Though the voices are different, they all tell the same story--of women bursting out of constraints, leaving school, leaving their hometowns, meeting new people, talking into the night, laughing, going to jail, being afraid, teaching in Freedom Schools, working in the field, dancing at the Elks Hall, working the WATS line to relay horror story after horror story, telling the press, telling the story, telling the word. And making a difference in this world."
