 DUNCAN I. - LoveToKnow Article on DUNCAN I.
Duncan is chiefly known through his connection with Macbeth, which has been immortalized by Shakespeare.
The feud between these two princes originated probably in a dispute over the succession to the throne; its details, however, are obscure, and the only fact which can be ascertained with any certainty is that Duncan was slain by Macbeth in.
His accession was the first example of inheritance of the Scottish throne in the direct line.

Martin: This was actually a scenario that world leaders in the political field and the field of economy came up with at a conference in San Francisco that I had the chance to attend, behind closed doors.
Martin: Yes and no. I think you definitely got the weak point of our analysis, and we're aware of this - but, I think it's now very wrong to just look at Asia as a whole and not to see single countries.
We see very different developments in various countries, and you could really make a very strong point that for example, Korea that always was quite in charge as a nation state of their economic developments, got into trouble after they liberalised...

Martin's methods are "uncivilized" but "I am very thankful for the result," said Bonde, initiator of 50 failed reform motions aimed at reducing perks.
Martin said he had secretly videotaped 7,200 instances of parliamentarians signing the attendance registry -- qualifying them for the daily allowance -- before hurrying off the airport to fly home.
The Socialist group this week said Martin faked a signature on a meeting attendance registry Oct. 9, 2001, basing its allegation on a boarding card showing Martin landed in Brussels five minutes before the meeting ended, and on the findings of a handwriting expert.

Concluding his remarks, Martin cited collaborative regulation, increased social responsibility, good political representation, transparency and the reinvention of democracy as necessary to ultimately overcome the challenges and fully maximize the peace-making opportunities presented by the Global Age.
However, Martin cited many challenges facing 20% of the world’s population, or the ‘have mores’— coining a phrase used by WOCCU CEO Arthur Arnold— that we must overcome in the Age of Globalization to obtain peace.

 Politics Hans and the cookie jar
Mr Martin's particular bugbear was the fact that a number of MEPs signed the register on a Friday morning during the monthly "plenary" sessions of the European parliament in Strasbourg, even though the parliament no longer sits on Fridays in Strasbourg.
Martin Schultz, the combative leader of the German Socialists (and, you may remember, the victim of Silvio Berlusconi's grotesque Nazi jibe last year), soon had Mr Martin expelled from the Socialist Group.
Mr Martin hit back, claiming in the pages of the German mass circulation tabloid, Bild, that numerous German MEPs regularly claimed their daily allowances in Brussels and Strasbourg even if they merely entered the European parliament building for a few minutes before catching a plane home.

Worse befell Hans-Peter Martin, an Austrian Social Democrat MEP when he rashly exposed the ambiguities of the attendance allowance earlier this year, pointing that some MEPs had even claimed the allowance on a day when there was no debate to attend.

Martin, however, refused to apologise, was ordered from the room by Enrique Baron Crespo, the then leader of the Socialist group, and immediately expelled from the group.

Duncan seemed marked by tragedy: various fires destroyed belongings and homes (her earliest memory was of being tossed from the window of a burning building); her father died in a shipwreck; two of her children perished when a chauffeur rolled their car into the Seine; the third died shortly after birth.
Duncan, her sister and two brothers, professionally entwined throughout their lives, spent early childhood vacillating between luxury and penury (her financier/swindler father, an integral part of San Francisco's 1877 banking collapse, was prone to long disappearances), a tendency which prevailed throughout their adulthood.
Duncan tended to either gloss over or sensationalize various aspects of her history and this book separates fact from fantasy.

Hans Peter Martin, an Austrian member of the Parliament who has been a vociferous critic of its benefits and privileges, accompanied the Stern television crew, which insists that it followed existing rules by filming from a public corridor.
Martin, the legislator who shepherded the Stern television crew in February, said the proposed rules are so vague that they are subject to the whims of the Quaestors, members of the Parliament who are elected internally to deal with day-to-day matters such as security and passes.
"They really want to seal off parts of Parliament and turn it into a secret chamber," said Martin, who has also been criticized by the bureau for writing about private parliamentary meetings on his Web site.

 EURSOC: Crooks Corner
Austrian MEP Hans-Peter Martin was subjected to a hate campaign by fellow MEPs after filming colleagues signing in and sodding off in 2004.
Martin even caught an Irish MEP moaning that the sign-in office was late to open, thus preventing him from signing in (274€), jumping into a cab (allowance €50) and catching a plane home (see below).
One of the most famous is the daily expenses scam, where parliamentarians can sign for their daily allowance of €274 in the morning, then clear off back home without attending parliament or committees.

 The New York Times > International > Europe > In Europe's Parliament, a Fondness for the Perks
If voters are angry, it is perhaps in no small measure because of Hans-Peter Martin and his concealed minicam.
Martin, a member from Austria, has surreptitiously filmed his colleagues using the benefits system and talking candidly about it — most expansively at a meeting of Socialist members in December.
Martin also taped a tradition known as "Strasbourg Fridays." One week a month, the legislature meets in Strasbourg, the French city where Europe's union began.
