  • Value for Money Integration in the Renegotiation of Public Private Partnership Road Projects by Ajibola Oladipo Fatokun
    Value for Money Integration in the Renegotiation of Public Private Partnership Road Projects By Ajibola Oladipo Fatokun A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire October 2018 i STUDENT DECLARATION I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate: ____________________________________________________ Type of Award: ________________________ PhD _______________________ School: ______________________ Engineering ____________________ ii ABSTRACT The governments of various countries have continued to adopt Public Private Partnership (PPP) for infrastructure projects delivery due to its many advantages over the traditional procurement method. However, concerns have been raised by stakeholders about the viability of PPP to deliver Value for Money (VfM), especially for the client. These discussions have generated debates and arguments in policy and advisory documents within the last decade mainly in the renegotiation of PPP water and transport projects and their VfM implications. Poor or non-achievement of VfM in PPP contracts renegotiation has led to this study in PPP road projects with the overall aim of integrating VfM considerations into the renegotiation process of PPP road projects. Mixed methodology research approach is used to achieve the objectives set for the study. Interviews and questionnaires of professionals involved in Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO) road projects in the UK are used in the study.

  • Gordon Ramsay, a Konyha Fenegyereke
    Gordon Ramsay, a konyha fenegyereke Ha egy olyan vibráló, dinamikus, rutinos konyhaművész főz, mint Gordon Ramsay, gyorsan peregnek az események, ember legyen a talpán, aki a látottak alapján elkészíti az ételeket. Még szerencse, hogy ott a videó! Nemrég karácsonykor Gordon kétféle zseniális karácsonyi menüt készített, egy hagyományosat, és egy „alternatívat”. Utóbbi annyira megtetszett nekem, hogy elhatároztam, kipróbálom, és ezt ajánlom Önöknek is, ha majd itt az ideje! A receptek listája a cikk alján található. Névjegy: Gordon (James) Ramsay 1966 november 8-án született a skóciai Johnstone Renfrewshire- ben. Főszakács, médiaszemélyiség, étteremtulajdonos és szakíró, a A Brit Birodalom Érdemrendje kitüntetettje, több Michelin-csillag tulajdonosa. A Nem piskóta című könyvéből kiderül, hogyan lett egy nyomorban tengődő skót kissrácból akkora híresség, mint amilyenek a focisták vagy a filmsztárok: a szakács, akinek csúcsgasztronómiát képviselő étteremholdingja van, saját szakácsiskolával.Több mint 20 éttermével szerte a világban, New Yorktól a trianoni palotán át egészen Tokióig összesen 12 Michelin-csillagot szerzett. Ezzel, az étterembirodalommal rendelkező séfek között Ramsay a világon a harmadik, Joel Robuchon és Alain Ducasse után. Nagy-Britanniában jelenleg egyike annak a három szakácsnak, akik az éttermük színvonalát a legmagasabb, háromcsillagos szintre fejlesztették. Életútja Ötéves korában került Angliába. Egy lecsúszott brit család gyerekeként arról ábrándozott, hogy híres focista lesz, de egy térdsérülés következtében sportpályafutása megszakadt, és érdeklődése a főzés, a szállodaipar felé fordult. Az 1980-as évek késői szakaszában szakácssegédként dolgozott a Wroxton House Hotelben, majd a Wickham Arms konyháját üzemeltette, ahonnan távoznia kellett, mert összeszűrte a levet a tulajdonos feleségével. Ekkor Londonba költözött, ahol megfordult egy sor különböző konyhán, míg össze nem hozta a sors a temperamentumos Marco Pierre White-tal, aki a saját éttermébe, a Harveys-be hozta.

  • Tracing the Problems Faced by British Rare Breed Producers
    Tracing the problems faced by British rare breed producers What’s the real issue behind the Horsemeat scandal? The ‘Horsemeat Scandal’ revealed a fundamental breakdown in the meat supply chain and a complete disconnection between us, the public, and the food that we eat. 100% traceability is a crucial requirement for protecting our edible biodiversity, an issue particularly relevant to the sheep and cattle industries. Traditional rare breed producers up and down the country are fighting an uphill battle to keep these products on our plates. With the current system favouring larger, fast maturing, commercial breeds, it is up to us to offer the much needed support to these farmers. The ‘Horsemeat Scandal’ showed the scale of the task many of our rare breed producers are facing. However the sensational stories which shocked the nation largely excluded the plight of the small scale producer. It is easy to get hung up about the labelling of horse meat as beef but isn’t it equally scandalous that wonderful British breeds - such as Blue Grey cattle, Old Gloucester cattle and Herdwick Sheep, with all their unique qualities - are being lost in a mountain of nameless meat! At a time when meat consumption is at its highest ever levels, we have a responsibility to be responsible consumers. There has to be a very real and drastic change in the way we think about and buy meat. What can you as the consumer do? At a very basic level, we need to show that there is a demand to know what we’re eating.

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.
