  • 24 lite

    •• * Неудачный перевод на одном из Интернет-сайтов интересного выражения, встретившегося в статье об итогах парламентских выборов в России, напомнил о небольшой лакуне в наших словарях – отсутствии слова lite. Впервые я увидел его в такой орфографии лет двадцать назад в рекламе пива Miller Lite, но не думал, что это войдет в язык.

    •• New Oxford Dictionary, относящий происхождение этого слова ( a deliberate respelling of light) к 50-м годам прошлого века, предлагает следующие толкования: liteadjective denoting a low-fat or lowsugar version of a manufactured food or drink product: lite beer. N. Amer. informal denoting a simpler or less challenging version of a particular thing or person: I am the happy feminist who likes men, the feminist lite.
    •• Цитата из статьи (журнал In the National Interest):
    •• While the opposition Communists took nearly 13 percent of the vote, 9 percent of the electorate defected to the newly formed Rodina, or Motherland bloc, a communist-litefaction that made it clear it would be prepared to work constructively with the Kremlin.
    •• Приведу опубликованный на сайте перевод:
    •• В то время как оппозиционная КПРФ получила почти 13% голосов, 9% ее электората дезертировали в недавно созданную партию «Родина», которая формально стоит на коммунистической платформе, но ясно дала понять, что готова конструктивно взаимодействовать с Кремлем.
    •• Ну, во-первых, почему 9% ее электората, когда речь идет о 9% всех проголосовавших избирателей, что переводчику должно быть известно? И, конечно, совершенно неправильно формально стоящая на коммунистической платформе – что это не так, переводчику тоже должно быть известно.
    •• Вот еще одно определение lite (American Heritage Dictionary): Slang: Having less substance or weight or fewer calories than something else: “lite music, shimmering on the surface and squishy soft at the core” (Mother Jones). Пример интересный – он свидетельствует о том, что lite может быть и обычным прилагательным.
    •• Возвращаясь к примеру, вот вариант правильного перевода: партия, стоящая на «облегченно-коммунистической»/«мягко-коммунистической» платформе. Как видим, здесь пришлось прибегнуть к кавычкам, что, вообще говоря, в переводе нежелательно.
    •• Поиск в гугле дал еще несколько communist lite. Из статьи о мексиканском художнике Диего Ривере:
    •• Though they openly embraced Leninism, Rivera biographer Bertram Wolfe noted that their communist-lite leanings were likely the result of naïve café conversations during Rivera’s stint in France with Picasso and other shapers of the Parisian Cubist movement.
    •• Здесь communist-lite leanings, пожалуй, просто прокоммунистические симпатии.
    •• Как правило, lite содержит элемент негативной оценки, а нередко употребляется даже с резко отрицательным оттенком:
    •• The Citizens for Tax Justice as her reference is a tip off they are a Progressive” ( read communist lite) group.
    •• Lite может означать также с минимальными затратами и даже малой кровью, как в следующем примере из статьи Ф. Фукуямы:
    •• Donald Rumsfeld has articulated a strategy of nation-building lite,” involving a rapid transition to local control and a tough-love policy that leaves locals to find their own way toward good government and democracy. <...> Nation-building literisks being used as an intellectual justification for getting out, regardless of the mess we leave behind.
    •• Интересно, что lite здесь дается в кавычках, т.е. это как бы еще не устоявшееся словоупотребление, но оно, как мне кажется, уже является фактом языка. (В этом примере интересно также не зафиксированное в известных мне словарях выражение tough love. В данном случае оно означает просто требовательный подход (в данном случае – к местным элитам), но в контекстах возможны и другие варианты – что-нибудь вроде строгая любовь или суров, но справедлив.)
    •• В следующем примере commitment lite можно перевести как участие по минимуму:
    •• [The Philippines’] participation in the Bush administration’s coalition of the willing would have to be described as “commitment lite.” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
    •• Слово lite сочетается с чем угодно, даже с фамилиями. Цитата из статьи Дж. Ф. Уилла в Washington Post:
    •• Ralph Nader must be smiling, in his dour way, now that Dean is saying Kerry is a Republican,” “ Bush Lite,” “ no different than Bush in being a handmaiden to special interests,” is making crazy promises of tax cuts and spending increases, and is a Washington insider who shifts back and forth with every poll,” exemplifyingexactly what’s wrong with American politics.
    •• Так сказать, Буш в умеренном варианте или Буш, только помягче.

  • 25 pull system

    Ops
    a production planning and control system in which the specification and pace of output of a delivery, or supplier, workstation is set by the receiving, or customer, workstation. In pull systems, the customer acts as the only trigger for movement. The supplier workstation can only produce output on the instructions of the customer for delivery when the customer is ready to receive it. Demand is therefore transferred down through the stages of production from the order placed by an end customer. Pull systems are far less likely to result in work-inprogress inventory, and are favored by justin-time or lean production systems.

Инфинитив без частицы to употребляется: (а.) после всех модальных глаголов, кроме модальных глаголов to have, to be, ought; (b) после модальных конструкций have better, would rather, needn't, и глагола to dare; (c) после вопросительной конструкции с why, выражающей предположение о том, что что-либо бессмысленно, бесполезно или глупо: why go there? к чему (с какой стати) туда идти?; (d) после подлежащих, выраженных придаточным предложением, которое начинается с what и all: what he expected me yor do was ask him about it; all he had to do was open the door; (e) в конструкции сложного дополнения с глаголами чувств: to see, to hear, to feel, to notice, to observe, to watch, to listen в форме активного залога (в форме пассивного залога со всеми этими глаголами инфинитив употребляется с частицей to: we saw him cross the street, ср., однако, he was seen to cross the street); (f) после глаголов to make и to let в конструкции Complex Object: let me think it over; (g) после глагола to help: help the old man cross the street. (2.) Инфинитив с частицей to употребляется: (а.) в конструкции Complex Object (smb to do smth) после глаголов to allow, to enable, to expect, to like, to mean, to prefer, to want: I expect him to come: (b) в конструкции с наречиями too и enough и последующим прилагательным: too high (for smb) to reach слишком высоко, чтобы кто-либо мог достать: easy enough to remember достаточно легко, чтобы запомнить. (3.) Инфинитив употребляется с рядом прилагательных, выражающих чувства, отношение к действию, степень качества или способ действия, таких как: able, afraid, anxious, ashamed, difficult, disappointed, eager, easy, fit, foolish, frightened, glad, likely, nice, pleasant, pleased, proper, proud, right, sad, silly, surprised, unable, willing, wrong: It's wrong to say so. (4.) Инфинит с частицей to употребляется после ряда существительных, таких как: ability, attempt, chance, desire, failure, inability, need, opportunity, unwillingness, willingness. (5.) Инфинитив с частицей to употребляется с рядом глаголов для выражения цели, образуя бессоюзное словосочетание в отличие от русского языка, где в этих случаях употребляется придаточное предложение: he came to discuss the plan он пришел для того, чтобы обсудить этот план. (6.) Инфинитив образует три комплекса: Complex Object, Complex Subject и For-Complex. Complex Object соответствует русским придаточным предложениям. Complex Object состоит из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже и инфинитива. Complex Object употребляется после четырех групп глаголов: (а.) глаголов физического восприятия; (b) глаголов повеления, побуждения; (с) глаголов разрешения, запрещения; (d) глаголов желания, ожидания, умственной деятельности (см. таблицу): Types of Complex Object Типы конструкций сложных дополнений (а.) to see smb (smth) do smth; to hear smb (smth) do smth; to feel smb (smth) do smth; to notice smb (smth) do smth; to observe smb (smth) do smth; to watch smb (smth) do smth; (b) to have smb (smth) do smth; to make smb (smth) do smth; to let smb (smth) do smth; (c) to expect smb (smth) to do smth; to like smb (smth) to do smth; to mean smb (smth) to do smth; to prefer smb (smth) to do smth; to understand smb (smth) to do smth; to want smb (smth) to do smth; (d) to allow smb (smth) to do smth; to forbid smb (smth) to do smth; to order smb (smth) to do smth После глаголов групп (a.) и (b) инфинитив употребляется без частицы to: she didn't notice us come in она не заметила, как мы вошли; we watched him paint the fence мы наблюдали за тем, как он красил забор; the sound of his steps made me start звук его шагов заставил меня вздрогнуть. После глаголов групп (с) и (d) инфинитив употребляется с частицей to. Complex Subject состоит из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в именительном падеже и инфинитива с частицей to. В русском языке комплекс соответствует придаточному предложению, а его части - безличным главным предложениям: she was seen to leave the house видели, как (что) она выходила из дома; he was said to be a good swimmer говорили, что он хороший пловец. Глаголы в главном предложении, кроме глаголов to seem, to happen, to prove, to turn out, употребляются в пассивной форме (см. таблицу): Types of Complex Subject constructions Типы конструкций сложных предложений (a.) smb (smth) is (was, will be) allowed(believed, considered, expected, heard, known, said, seen, suppose) to do smth (to be done); (b) smb (smth) happens (happened, proves, proved, seems, seemed, turns out, turned out, is certain, is likely, is not likely, is unlikely, is sure) to do smth (to be done, to have done, to be doing) Например: he didn't seem to have noticed anything unusual казалось, что он ничего необычного не заметил/не замечает; the ring proved to have been stolen оказалось, что кольцо было украдено; the dog is not likely to have been stolen собаку вряд ли украли; he is sure to come if he promised он обязательно приедет, если он обещал. For-Complex состоит из предлога for, существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже и инфинитива. Местоимение или имя существительное является подлежащим инфинитива: it is easier for him to phone than to write ему легче позвонить, чем написать. For-Complex может выполнять в предложении разные функции, представленные в таблице ниже: Subject - It is bad for you to smoke so much. - Вам вредно так много курить.; It will be best for her to see a doctor. - Ей лучше всего показаться врачу. Object - He arranged for us to stay here for a week. - Он договорился о том, чтобы мы здесь пробыли неделю. Attribute - There is nothing for us to do here. - Нам здесь делать нечего. Adverbial modifier of result - It is too easy for anyone to do. - Это легко сделать кому угодно. Adverbial modifier of purpose - He stood aside for me to pass. - Он посторонился, чтобы я мог пройти.

  • 35 Burgi, Jost

    SUBJECT AREA: Horology
    [br]
    b. 28 February 1552 Lichtensteig, Switzerland
    d. 31 January 1632 Kassel, Germany
    [br]
    Swiss clockmaker and mathematician who invented the remontoire and the cross-beat escapement, also responsible for the use of exponential notation and the calculation of tables of anti-logarithms.
    [br]
    Burgi entered the service of Duke William IV of Hesse in 1579 as Court Clockmaker, although he also assisted William with his astronomical observations. In 1584 he invented the cross-beat escapement which increased the accuracy of spring-driven clocks by two orders of magnitude. During the last years of the century he also worked on the development of geometrical and astronomical instruments for the Royal Observatory at Kassel.
    On the death of Duke Wilhelm in 1603, and with news of his skills having reached the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, in 1604 he went to Prague to become Imperial Watchmaker and to assist in the creation of a centre of scientific activity, subsequently becoming Assistant to the German astronomer, Johannes Kepler. No doubt this association led to an interest in mathematics and he made significant contributions to the concept of decimal fractions and the use of exponential notation, i.e. the use of a raised number to indicate powers of another number. It is likely that he was developing the idea of logarithms at the same time (or possibly even before) Napier, for in 1620 he made his greatest contribution to mathematics, science and, eventually, engineering, namely the publication of tables of anti-logarithms.
    At Prague he continued the series of accurate clocks and instruments for astronomical measurements that he had begun to produce at Kassel. At that period clocks were very poor timekeepers since the controller, the foliot or balance, had no natural period of oscillation and was consequently dependent on the driving force. Although the force of the driving weight was constant, irregularities occurred during the transmission of the power through the train as a result of the poor shape and quality of the gearing. Burgi attempted to overcome this directly by superb craftsmanship and indirectly by using a remontoire. This device was wound at regular intervals by the main driving force and fed the power directly to the escape wheel, which impulsed the foliot. He also introduced the crossbeat escapement (a variation on the verge), which consisted of two coupled foliots that swung in opposition to each other. According to contemporary evidence his clocks produced a remarkable improvement in timekeeping, being accurate to within a minute a day. This improvement was probably a result of the use of a remontoire and the high quality of the workmanship rather than a result of the cross-beat escapement, which did not have a natural period of oscillation.
    Burgi or Prague clocks, as they were known, were produced by very few other makers and were supplanted shortly afterwards by the intro-duction of the pendulum clock. Burgi also produced superb clockwork-driven celestial globes.

  • 36 Tull, Jethro

    [br]
    b. 30 March 1674 Basildon, Essex, England
    d. February 1741 Hungerford, Berkshire, England
    [br]
    English farmer who developed and publicized a system of row crop husbandry.
    [br]
    Jethro Tull was born into an English landowning family. He was educated at St John's College, Oxford, but left without a degree at the age of 17. He then spent three years on the Grand Tour before returning to study law at Gray's Inn in London. After six years he was admitted to the Bar, but he never practised, moving instead to one of his father's farms near Oxford.
    Because of labour problems he chose to plant sainfoin (Onobrychis viciaefolia) as a forage crop because it required less frequent reseeding than grass. The seed itself was expensive and of poor fertility, so he began to experiment. He discovered that the depth of sowing as well as the planting rate influenced germination and the rate of growth, he found the optimum rate could be gained with one plant per ft2, a much lower density than could be achieved by broadcasting. His experiments created labour problems. He is traditionally and incorrectly credited with the invention of the seed drill, but he did develop and use a drill on his own farm to achieve the planting rate and depth he needed without having to rely on his workforce.
    In 1711 Tull became ill and went to France, having first sold his original farm and moved to "Properous", near Hungerford. In France he developed a husbandry technique that used a horse hoe to stir the soil between the rows of plants achieved with his drill. He incorrectly believed that his increased yields were the result of nutrients released from the soil by this method, whereas they were more likely to have been the result of a reduction in weed competition as a result of the repeated cultivation.

  • 40 near cash

    !
    гос. фин. The resource budget contains a separate control total for “near cash” expenditure, that is expenditure such as pay and current grants which impacts directly on the measure of the golden rule.
    This paper provides background information on the framework for the planning and control of public expenditure in the UK which has been operated since the 1998 Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR). It sets out the different classifications of spending for budgeting purposes and why these distinctions have been adopted. It discusses how the public expenditure framework is designed to ensure both sound public finances and an outcome-focused approach to public expenditure.
    The UK's public spending framework is based on several key principles:
    "
    consistency with a long-term, prudent and transparent regime for managing the public finances as a whole;
    " "
    the judgement of success by policy outcomes rather than resource inputs;
    " "
    strong incentives for departments and their partners in service delivery to plan over several years and plan together where appropriate so as to deliver better public services with greater cost effectiveness; and
    "
    the proper costing and management of capital assets to provide the right incentives for public investment.
    The Government sets policy to meet two firm fiscal rules:
    "
    the Golden Rule states that over the economic cycle, the Government will borrow only to invest and not to fund current spending; and
    "
    the Sustainable Investment Rule states that net public debt as a proportion of GDP will be held over the economic cycle at a stable and prudent level. Other things being equal, net debt will be maintained below 40 per cent of GDP over the economic cycle.
    Achievement of the fiscal rules is assessed by reference to the national accounts, which are produced by the Office for National Statistics, acting as an independent agency. The Government sets its spending envelope to comply with these fiscal rules.
    Departmental Expenditure Limits ( DEL) and Annually Managed Expenditure (AME)
    "
    Departmental Expenditure Limit ( DEL) spending, which is planned and controlled on a three year basis in Spending Reviews; and
    "
    Annually Managed Expenditure ( AME), which is expenditure which cannot reasonably be subject to firm, multi-year limits in the same way as DEL. AME includes social security benefits, local authority self-financed expenditure, debt interest, and payments to EU institutions.
    More information about DEL and AME is set out below.
    In Spending Reviews, firm DEL plans are set for departments for three years. To ensure consistency with the Government's fiscal rules departments are set separate resource (current) and capital budgets. The resource budget contains a separate control total for “near cash” expenditure, that is expenditure such as pay and current grants which impacts directly on the measure of the golden rule.
    To encourage departments to plan over the medium term departments may carry forward unspent DEL provision from one year into the next and, subject to the normal tests for tautness and realism of plans, may be drawn down in future years. This end-year flexibility also removes any incentive for departments to use up their provision as the year end approaches with less regard to value for money. For the full benefits of this flexibility and of three year plans to feed through into improved public service delivery, end-year flexibility and three year budgets should be cascaded from departments to executive agencies and other budget holders.
    Three year budgets and end-year flexibility give those managing public services the stability to plan their operations on a sensible time scale. Further, the system means that departments cannot seek to bid up funds each year (before 1997, three year plans were set and reviewed in annual Public Expenditure Surveys). So the credibility of medium-term plans has been enhanced at both central and departmental level.
    Departments have certainty over the budgetary allocation over the medium term and these multi-year DEL plans are strictly enforced. Departments are expected to prioritise competing pressures and fund these within their overall annual limits, as set in Spending Reviews. So the DEL system provides a strong incentive to control costs and maximise value for money.
    There is a small centrally held DEL Reserve. Support from the Reserve is available only for genuinely unforeseeable contingencies which departments cannot be expected to manage within their DEL.
    AME typically consists of programmes which are large, volatile and demand-led, and which therefore cannot reasonably be subject to firm multi-year limits. The biggest single element is social security spending. Other items include tax credits, Local Authority Self Financed Expenditure, Scottish Executive spending financed by non-domestic rates, and spending financed from the proceeds of the National Lottery.
    AME is reviewed twice a year as part of the Budget and Pre-Budget Report process reflecting the close integration of the tax and benefit system, which was enhanced by the introduction of tax credits.
    AME is not subject to the same three year expenditure limits as DEL, but is still part of the overall envelope for public expenditure. Affordability is taken into account when policy decisions affecting AME are made. The Government has committed itself not to take policy measures which are likely to have the effect of increasing social security or other elements of AME without taking steps to ensure that the effects of those decisions can be accommodated prudently within the Government's fiscal rules.
    Given an overall envelope for public spending, forecasts of AME affect the level of resources available for DEL spending. Cautious estimates and the AME margin are built in to these AME forecasts and reduce the risk of overspending on AME.
    Together, DEL plus AME sum to Total Managed Expenditure (TME). TME is a measure drawn from national accounts. It represents the current and capital spending of the public sector. The public sector is made up of central government, local government and public corporations.
    Resource and Capital Budgets are set in terms of accruals information. Accruals information measures resources as they are consumed rather than when the cash is paid. So for example the Resource Budget includes a charge for depreciation, a measure of the consumption or wearing out of capital assets.
    "
    Non cash charges in budgets do not impact directly on the fiscal framework. That may be because the national accounts use a different way of measuring the same thing, for example in the case of the depreciation of departmental assets. Or it may be that the national accounts measure something different: for example, resource budgets include a cost of capital charge reflecting the opportunity cost of holding capital; the national accounts include debt interest.
    "
    Within the Resource Budget DEL, departments have separate controls on:
    "
    Near cash spending, the sub set of Resource Budgets which impacts directly on the Golden Rule; and
    "
    The amount of their Resource Budget DEL that departments may spend on running themselves (e.g. paying most civil servants’ salaries) is limited by Administration Budgets, which are set in Spending Reviews. Administration Budgets are used to ensure that as much money as practicable is available for front line services and programmes. These budgets also help to drive efficiency improvements in departments’ own activities. Administration Budgets exclude the costs of frontline services delivered directly by departments.
    The Budget preceding a Spending Review sets an overall envelope for public spending that is consistent with the fiscal rules for the period covered by the Spending Review. In the Spending Review, the Budget AME forecast for year one of the Spending Review period is updated, and AME forecasts are made for the later years of the Spending Review period.
    The 1998 Comprehensive Spending Review ( CSR), which was published in July 1998, was a comprehensive review of departmental aims and objectives alongside a zero-based analysis of each spending programme to determine the best way of delivering the Government's objectives. The 1998 CSR allocated substantial additional resources to the Government's key priorities, particularly education and health, for the three year period from 1999-2000 to 2001-02.
    Delivering better public services does not just depend on how much money the Government spends, but also on how well it spends it. Therefore the 1998 CSR introduced Public Service Agreements (PSAs). Each major government department was given its own PSA setting out clear targets for achievements in terms of public service improvements.
    The 1998 CSR also introduced the DEL/ AME framework for the control of public spending, and made other framework changes. Building on the investment and reforms delivered by the 1998 CSR, successive spending reviews in 2000, 2002 and 2004 have:
    "
    provided significant increase in resources for the Government’s priorities, in particular health and education, and cross-cutting themes such as raising productivity; extending opportunity; and building strong and secure communities;
    " "
    enabled the Government significantly to increase investment in public assets and address the legacy of under investment from past decades. Departmental Investment Strategies were introduced in SR2000. As a result there has been a steady increase in public sector net investment from less than ¾ of a per cent of GDP in 1997-98 to 2¼ per cent of GDP in 2005-06, providing better infrastructure across public services;
    " "
    introduced further refinements to the performance management framework. PSA targets have been reduced in number over successive spending reviews from around 300 to 110 to give greater focus to the Government’s highest priorities. The targets have become increasingly outcome-focused to deliver further improvements in key areas of public service delivery across Government. They have also been refined in line with the conclusions of the Devolving Decision Making Review to provide a framework which encourages greater devolution and local flexibility. Technical Notes were introduced in SR2000 explaining how performance against each PSA target will be measured; and
    "
    not only allocated near cash spending to departments, but also – since SR2002 - set Resource DEL plans for non cash spending.
    To identify what further investments and reforms are needed to equip the UK for the global challenges of the decade ahead, on 19 July 2005 the Chief Secretary to the Treasury announced that the Government intends to launch a second Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) reporting in 2007.
    A decade on from the first CSR, the 2007 CSR will represent a long-term and fundamental review of government expenditure. It will cover departmental allocations for 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010 11. Allocations for 2007-08 will be held to the agreed figures already announced by the 2004 Spending Review. To provide a rigorous analytical framework for these departmental allocations, the Government will be taking forward a programme of preparatory work over 2006 involving:
    "
    an assessment of what the sustained increases in spending and reforms to public service delivery have achieved since the first CSR. The assessment will inform the setting of new objectives for the decade ahead;
    " "
    an examination of the key long-term trends and challenges that will shape the next decade – including demographic and socio-economic change, globalisation, climate and environmental change, global insecurity and technological change – together with an assessment of how public services will need to respond;
    " "
    to release the resources needed to address these challenges, and to continue to secure maximum value for money from public spending over the CSR period, a set of zero-based reviews of departments’ baseline expenditure to assess its effectiveness in delivering the Government’s long-term objectives; together with
    "
    further development of the efficiency programme, building on the cross cutting areas identified in the Gershon Review, to embed and extend ongoing efficiency savings into departmental expenditure planning.
    The 2007 CSR also offers the opportunity to continue to refine the PSA framework so that it drives effective delivery and the attainment of ambitious national standards.
    Public Service Agreements (PSAs) were introduced in the 1998 CSR. They set out agreed targets detailing the outputs and outcomes departments are expected to deliver with the resources allocated to them. The new spending regime places a strong emphasis on outcome targets, for example in providing for better health and higher educational standards or service standards. The introduction in SR2004 of PSA ‘standards’ will ensure that high standards in priority areas are maintained.
    The Government monitors progress against PSA targets, and departments report in detail twice a year in their annual Departmental Reports (published in spring) and in their autumn performance reports. These reports provide Parliament and the public with regular updates on departments’ performance against their targets.
    Technical Notes explain how performance against each PSA target will be measured.
    To make the most of both new investment and existing assets, there needs to be a coherent long term strategy against which investment decisions are taken. Departmental Investment Strategies (DIS) set out each department's plans to deliver the scale and quality of capital stock needed to underpin its objectives. The DIS includes information about the department's existing capital stock and future plans for that stock, as well as plans for new investment. It also sets out the systems that the department has in place to ensure that it delivers its capital programmes effectively.
    This document was updated on 19 December 2005.
    Near-cash resource expenditure that has a related cash implication, even though the timing of the cash payment may be slightly different. For example, expenditure on gas or electricity supply is incurred as the fuel is used, though the cash payment might be made in arrears on aquarterly basis. Other examples of near-cash expenditure are: pay, rental.Net cash requirement the upper limit agreed by Parliament on the cash which a department may draw from theConsolidated Fund to finance the expenditure within the ambit of its Request forResources. It is equal to the agreed amount of net resources and net capital less non-cashitems and working capital.Non-cash cost costs where there is no cash transaction but which are included in a body’s accounts (or taken into account in charging for a service) to establish the true cost of all the resourcesused.Non-departmental a body which has a role in the processes of government, but is not a government public body, NDPBdepartment or part of one.
