A contract is, in essence, a written meeting of the minds. An effective contract is an invaluable tool that will help your organization and the contractor understand what is expected, and how to resolve any problems. Its primary value is that it forces both parties to answer some challenging questions before the work gets started. It is the testament of a mutually beneficial relationship or transaction.
The dramatic volcanic eruption that belched out the ash plume responsible for grounding much of Europe entered a new phase today — producing less smoke but bubbling with lava and throwing up chunks of molten rock.
Less ash is potentially good news for stranded travelers, but scientists who are monitoring the mountain’s explosion warn the eruption is not finished, and may still set off other eruptions at nearby volcanoes.
The first sighting of glowing magma in the Eyjafjallajokull volcano was made today, though the lava is not flowing down the mountain, Icelandic geologists said.
“It is sputtering and bubbling and will probably create a cone formation” as the lava spills over and freezes into rock, said Kristin Vogfjord, geologist at Iceland’s Met Office in Reykjavik.
The volcanic eruption has been particularly explosive because it has surged under a 200 metre-thick glacier.

More than 60 years after the end of World War II, American lawmakers have paid tribute to the pioneering but long-overlooked role played by women pilots in the US Air Force.
About 1,000 women piloted fighter planes in the United States from 1942 to 1944 when they joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots, dubbed the WASPs.
Their mission was not to go into combat zones, but to move aircraft between bases, test fly planes which had undergone repairs and help in training. Their contributions critically freed up male pilots to participate in combat missions.
Some 38 women pilots died on the missions, and were never accorded any military honours. Fewer than 300 of the women are alive today.
US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have mourned the death of Grand Imam Mohamed Sayyid Tantawi, the head of al-Azhar University in Cairo.
“As the grand sheikh of Al-Azhar University, he was a voice for faith and tolerance who was widely respected in Muslim communities in Egypt and around the globe, and by many who seek to build a world grounded in mutual respect,” the White House said in a statement.
“Sheikh Tantawi graciously hosted President Obama last June in Cairo, and we remember well his hospitality,” it said.
Noting that Imam Tantawi was a highly respected cleric and the leader of one of the most important institutions of Islamic learning in the world, Clinton said Al-Azhar had stood in Cairo last summer as a beacon of Islamic learning for over a thousand years, and it continues to play a dynamic role today.

Two Australian teenagers have been arrested on charges of brutally assaulting a wheelchair- bound Canadian tourist with a metal bar in Sydney, an attack reminiscent of the spate of incidents against Indians here.
The 35-year-old man, whose identity was not released, was punched, stomped and beaten up at Mount Druitt train station on Tuesday night. He is still in hospital and has had surgery for a fractured skull.
New South Wales police said he was waiting at the station in Sydney’s west after watching a friend’s band play a concert when the two teens approached and punched him in the face while he attempted to roll into a station lift.
He fell out of his wheelchair, was stomped on and bashed on the head with a metal bar wrenched from his wheelchair, causing a depressed skull wound and severe cuts, police said.
