Terminal Consent

This book reveals the inside track on the making of Terminal 5: the courage, the ground-breaking management thinking and the many lessons learnt from the leaders, the client and integrated supply chain teams, - involving over 50,000 people from 20,000 companies - which led to the successful delivery of this mega project on time, on budget, and safely. Love or hate Heathrow we can’t ignore it! An economic power house for the UK, 155,000 earn their living from it and 68 million of us pass through it each year. Two decades of the planning, design, construction and opening of Terminal 5 has resulted in a gateway that Heathrow can be proud of. Faced with the risk of opening a year late, being a billion overspent, since Sir John Egan in the early 1990s, BAA, stakeholders and supplier partners have been grappling with Terminal 5`s challenges. The result? £4.3 billion of design and construction delivered on time, to budget and safely is to be commended given the industry statistics but the acid test will now be the quality of the 30 million passengers experience and the operating costs that have been left to stand the test of time. Sharon Doherty is HR and organisational effectiveness director for Heathrow airport and Terminal 5. Sharon has previously worked in consultancy, financial services and retail. Her specialism is people and change. 2002 to the end 2007 she was accountable for the approach to people management and organisational change on Terminal 5.

Desperate times. Deadly measures. They target the helpless, the outcasts of society. They can do anything for anyone-but they'll take everything you have, slowly and painfully. Their twisted, lethal games have gone unnoticed for years. But two men who share a dark past are about to discover that miracles come at the highest possible cost... Ozzy Stone was a decorated soldier -- until he was convicted of a crime that never happened. Roman Blade was an elite hacker -- until a technicality turned a simple revenge hack into a federal crime. Stone and Blade shared a cell in prison -- until a brutal attack landed one in solitary, and the other at death's door. Two years later, they're reunited when Stone, fresh out of prison, takes a job as a bouncer at a BDSM fantasy club...only to find Blade already working there. The tension between them escalates quickly. But when violence erupts in their small town and someone's playing pin-the-blame on the ex-cons, this unlikely pair must work together to clear their names and stop a group of ruthless killers who grant wishes to the hopeless -- and take their payments in blood.

The Code of Federal Regulations is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government.

Psychologist, Jenny Barrett is thrust into the dark, predatory world of corporate managed care. Her idealism is crushed by the frightening realities of the new medicine: the total loss of privacy, open trading of medical data, and a computer named MOM who calculates profits from client deaths. An old man fights to comfort his dying wife while a religious zealot obtains personal patient data from MOM to blackmail millions of women who have had abortions. A senator seeks to reveal these formulas of death, but is targeted as an enemy. Jenny alone has the key to the secrets of the company, but MOM calculates another deadly decision.

The importance of services in the EU economy has increased exponentially in the last decades as have the number and scope of EU rules, both those liberalising the provision of services and those protecting their recipients or consumers - the passengers, patients, viewers and bank depositors. However, these consumers, in their capacity as citizens, are increasingly disillusioned with the EU and its institutions. This book, written by practitioners, academics and advocates before the European Court, reflects on these developments, examining rules in numerous service sectors, from the capping of roaming call charges upheld in the Vodafone decision, through health care, to the requirement for air carriers to care for and compensate passengers approved in the generous Sturgeon judgment. The Court's positive approach may have been guided by a desire to consolidate the notion of EU citizenship, a status introduced, but without clear content, at Maastricht. The book therefore considers whether these uniform, EU-wide, consumer rights may not form an important component of such European citizenship. The Commission's proposal to make 2013 European Year of Citizens seems to favour such a view.
