In general, the larger the job, the longer the contract you should use. A short proposal that clearly describes the work and price might be OK for a small repair job but not for large, complicated jobs like additions, large remodels, kitchens and baths, and new homes.
The larger the job, the more money is involved and the more can go wrong. The most common areas of disagreement are the Scope of Work, Changes, and Payment — what exactly are you getting (and what is excluded) in terms of materials, work, and workmanship and for what price.
Many disputes arise from assumptions that the Owner or Contractor just "took for granted." A good contract prevents problems by anticipating this type of misunderstanding and clearly communicating the expectations and responsibilities of both parties. It's also a guide to resolving small disputes before they grow into large ones — always the best approach.

Arizona Cardinals IDP Team Report
Despite a number of player defections, injuries and another long suspension for inside linebacker Daryl Washington, the Arizona Cardinals still managed to field one of the NFL's best defenses in 2014. However, with maestro Todd Bowles now the head coach of the New York Jets, the Cardinals face even more uncertainty this season.
From an IDP perspective, the Arizona defensive line begins and ends with end Calais Campbell, who finished 8th at the position in fantasy scoring in 2014 despite missing a pair of games. Grantland's Bill Barnwell believes that the NFL's "Top 100" List did the eighth-year veteran a disservice this year.
"Campbell does not belong 71 spots below (Gerald) McCoy and 75 spots below (Ndamukong) Suh," Barnwell said. "That's for sure. He missed two games because Julius Thomas took him out with an illegal block and still managed to lead a mostly anonymous Arizona front seven to the league's sixth-best run defense."
In fantasy terms, Campbell isn't ranked behind either. Yes, he's never amassed double-digit sacks and doesn't have a tremendously high IDP ceiling, but floors don't get much higher thanks to his annually steady tackle stats. He's a fine choice as a DL1.
Given how well the Cardinals fared as a unit in 2014, one would think that there would be some IDP hay to be made among the linebackers. One would be wrong. In fact, the most valuable IDP option among the linebackers may well be a player who wasn't even on the team last year.
That would be Sean Weatherspoon, who admitted that the past two injury-marred years with the Atlanta Falcons weighed on him while speaking with Darren Urban of the team's website.
"If you look at it in a negative way, it'll weigh down on you," he said. "Your days won't go by the same, and you will have some dark days and dark nights, some long nights. I've been there. I'm human. We all think, 'What if.' "
With Larry Foote now a coach, Washington still not reinstated (and facing another suspension once he is) and Kevin Minter just not good, IDP owners should be wondering what a healthy Weatherspoon might be able to do for them – at least enough to merit a late-draft dart throw.
There was fantasy value galore in the Arizona secondary last year, even if it didn't come from where we expected. No one personified that more than seventh-year veteran Rashad Johnson, who came from nowhere to top 90 tackles and finish third among defensive backs in fantasy points. Johnson told Urban that he credits his time in the film room and ability to diagnose plays for his breakout season.
"It's something that makes me who I am," Johnson said. "It makes me that special player that's vital even if he's not a Patrick Peterson-type of athlete. Vital because he can help the defense as a whole because he knows the plays. He can help everyone play faster."
Expecting a repeat of that top-five finish may be wishful thinking, as in Deone Bucannon and Tyrann Mathieu the Cardinals also have a pair of talented young players who will get their share of snaps as well.
If anything, that's the problem in the defensive backfield for the Cards. Any of these three players could – in theory – post DB1 numbers. Or all could spend the year siphoning upside from the others. As things stand right now Johnson is the preferred option, followed closely by Mathieu. But Bucannon isn't that far behind, making it a murky (and risky) IDP situation.

As difficult as it may be to grasp or comprehend, I would say that God, being omniscient, is aware of (or, as expressed in the question, has a record of) everything that every individual who has ever lived has ever done, said, thought, or felt. He can have "selective amnesia" (as in the case of forgiven sin that He "puts away" with respect to an individual's salvation (2 Samuel 12:13; Jeremiah 31:34)), but I would say that that is by His choice, rather than His nature.

The Bible mentions several heavenly books in which humans' deeds are being recorded. It was common for Israelites to keep genealogical records (Neh 7:5; 12:23; Ezra 2:62). Genealogies were important to determine property or legal rights, and religious functions. The deletion of criminals and false prophets from the records was not unusual and was a form of legal punishment (Ezek 13:9).
In heaven there is also a book (the book of life) which contains the names of those who belong to the Lord (Luke 10:20; Ex 32:32; Ps 69:28).
The NT indicates that the book of life contains only the names of those who are citizens of the New Jerusalem (Heb 12:23; Rev 21:27). Satan's followers, however, do not have their name written in this book (Rev 17:8).
God's people are told to rejoice as their names are listed in such book (Luke 10:20; Phil 4:3).
But more importantly, the inclusion of names in the book of life is based only on Christ's merits (Rev 13:8) and appears to take place when a person surrenders his/her life to the Lord.
The removing of a name from the book of life is quite possible (Ex 32:32; 32:33), but only as a result of rebellious sin and associated with a divine judgment. Daniel 7:9-10 tells about a judgment during which heavenly books were opened and in the end the names listed in the book will enjoy everlasting life - the others, whose names are missing from the book will not have everlasting life (Daniel 12:1, 2).
It can be argued that the heavenly records are patterned after earthly practices, although it's unclear if the earthly practices are being used only as metaphors to help us understand concepts and ideas. Would Moses, Daniel and other Bible writers grasp the concept of computer files and wireless electronic data storage? Probably not. Most likely God revealed to them His truths in a form they could relate to and understand it, using human terms like scrolls and books.


Fabio Perini Spa has obtained the prestigious ISO 50001 certification for environmental sustainability. This milestone was reached after a journey begun in 2012 with the placing of Fabio Perini amongst the most avant-garde companies in the converting sector.
"To begin with", asserts Riccardo Signorini, manager of maintenance and capex of Fabio Perini spa "we implemented steps which can be defined as "good housekeeping", like the nightly turning off of the cranes and the use of our home automation systems to reduce electric and heating energy waste. Furthermore, through LSS methodology, we identified the best strategy for a more efficient energy management system, leading to Fabio Perini, by 2016, being given the award "Italia in Classe A" from the Agenzia Nazionale per l'Energia Enea `[National agency for energy, ENEA]".
Subsequently, Fabio Perini introduced LED lights in the workshops, solar heating to get hot water in summer, solar film for windows facing south and west, and finally one of the air compressors was replaced by a new generation model with inverter.

Q: Is one distribution better for Virtualbox 5.1 inside Ubuntu 16.04? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe pick a Distro by the Toe
A little background, I bought a tripod for my cell phone to record grub start up. Total flop. Now I want to setup Virtualbox and use screen capture of grub booting there.
After problems with libssl 1.1.0 being incompatible with newer kernel headers and Kernel 4.14.34 being incompatible with Virtualbox 5.1 I've finally got it setup where it's now asking me for a bootable CD to install.
So which Distro should I pick?

*

*I've allocated 2 GB of RAM even though VB recommended 1 GB of RAM.

*I've allocated 10 GB of SSD space.

Since all I want to run is sudo update-grub and then reboot and make a GIF with peek of grub booting up, what is the smallest (and reliable) distro to install in VB in Ubuntu 16.04?

A: I ended up going with Lubuntu 16.04. I had many problems setting up Virtualbox but I guess everyone does. In the end I had to downgrade x upgrade grub resolution from 1920x1080 to 1600x1200 to record the grub screen:

Advantages of Lubuntu 16.04 over Manjaro

*

*You get the familiar Debian commands like sudo apt install.

*You can copy many of the same script used in Ubuntu 16.04.

*If you have questions about Lubuntu many answers are already here in Ask Ubuntu

I didn't think much of the last Glenmorangie I reviewed – the Glenmorangie Milsean. I thought it was a little too forced, and almost felt like an attempt at flavouring the whisky by messing about with the wood (as opposed to just using very good wood in the first place). It's a modern trend to create a marketing story out of the wood, as if it was the only component of whisky production, especially when there's no age statement. Money is spent on story, not on quality production.
Well this next Glenmorangie has an age statement: 26 years. It uses straightforward wood with no treatments: a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The results? Something very good.
The Grand Vintage Malt 1990 is Glenmorangie's first release in their new Bond House No.1 Collection, which is all about luxury. Luxury whiskies with a vintage year attached. This whisky was distilled entirely in 1990 – so it's 26 years old, no more, no less. I find the vintage approach very interesting generally in single malts. I'd like to know more about the barley varieties, yeasts and fermentation times so one can look for any differences between vintages, as a year in and of itself tells you very little. But then I'm a geek and – as per my Christmas message – I'd like to highlight more about the production if at all possible.
Bottled at 43% ABV, you can buy this limited edition Glenmorangie for around £490 from Abbey Whisky.
Colour: burnished gold. Not especially dark.
On the nose: surprisingly un-Glenmorangie-like. Fresh and malty at first. Toffee. Dried apricots. Praline. Heather honey. Slightly perfumed. A lot of complexity. Tangerines and oranges, with nutmeg and cinnamon. Jamaican ginger cake. Sultanas. Muscovado sugar. Tobacco. Beeswax. Polished.
In the mouth: succulent, mouth-watering dram. Casts a net between sweet fruits – baked apples, apricot jam, oranges, grapefruit – and wonderful maltiness, Horlicks, malted milk biscuits. Heather honey. A bit of vanilla and fudge; but I suppose what's remarkable is the lack of old wood notes here. Green tea. Slightly herbal, minty and grassy on the finish. Brilliant texture, and not at all woody at the end. It has all the complexity of age without any of the excess baggage – like dating a sane divorcee.
Gorgeous and unpretentious – it's not just the flavours, but the way they all come together so wonderfully. Balance, in other words. The Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1990 is an extremely elegant and classy dram. A weekend in the country, evening meal in a gastropub kind of way. The question is – is this worth £490? If you're rich, then sure – crack on. Buy it. For some reason £490 doesn't seem ridiculous these days and it will probably fetch much more than that at auction in a couple of years.
Money aside, the Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1990 is an utterly marvellous whisky.
Note: a sample was kindly provided by the folk at Moet. Long term readers of Malt will know that I remain critical where possible (in fact, I positively enjoy being critical where possible).
Sorry but this release was just pure greed. This is little more than the 25yo (which was discontinued right before this came out) with an extra year, but at twice the price. That seems ridiculous to me, especially so given that it's still just 43%.

David Diop (born February 24, 1966) is a French novelist and academic, who specializes in 18th-century French and Francophone African literature. His research, at the University of Pau in south-west France, focuses on representations of Africa in 18th-century accounts and images by travellers. Diop received the 2021 International Booker Prize for his novel At Night All Blood Is Black as the first French author (translated by Anna Moschovakis). The novel was also shortlisted for ten French awards and won them in other countries.

Biography
David Diop was born in Paris in 1966 to a French mother and a Senegalese father. He moved to Dakar at the age of five and spent the majority of his childhood in Senegal before returning to study in France at the age of 18 after finishing high school.  Diop received a doctorate from the Sorbonne for his studies on 18th-century French literature.

In 1998, he became a lecturer in literature at the University of Pau and the Adour Region specialising in 18th-century French literature and in African French literature. In 2009 he was appointed to head a research group on the representation of Africa and Africans in 17th- and 18th-century European literature.  He received his habilitation in 2014.  Diop now heads the arts, languages, and literature department at the university.  He lives in Pau.

Early works
He published his first book, a work of historical fiction titled 1889, l'Attraction universelle, in 2012. The novel describes the experiences of 11 members of a Senegalese delegation to the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris.

In 2018, he published his first full-length scholarly work, Rhétorique nègre au xviiie siècle, which deals with the representation of Africans in 18th-century travel writing and abolitionist texts.

At Night All Blood Is Black / Frère d'âme

Diop's second novel, Frère d'âme, which interweaves the history of World War I with the history of colonialism, was published in 2018.  The novel describes the experiences of Senegalese Tirailleurs fighting for France in the trenches.  The main character, Alfa Ndiaye, descends into madness following the death of a childhood friend and inflicts extreme brutality upon his German enemies.  Diop was inspired to write the book by his French great-grandfather's service during the war. Diop stated "He never said anything to his wife, or to my mother, about his experience. That is why I was always very interested by all the tales and accounts which gave one access to a form of intimacy with that particular war." Because his great-grandfather refused to speak about the war Diop read many published accounts regarding the Tirailleurs' service.

Frère d'âme was shortlisted for the Prix Goncourt, the Prix Renaudot, the Prix Médicis and the Prix Femina and six other French literary prizes.  In 2018 Diop received the Students' Prix Goncourt for the novel.  He also won the Swiss Prix Ahmadou-Kourouma.

Frère d'âme was published in English translation in November 2020 under the title At Night All Blood Is Black. It won the 2020 Los Angeles Times Fiction Book Prize. Together with his translator Anna Moschovakis, with whom he split the £50,000 winnings, he won the 2021 International Booker Prize. This made him the first French author and first person of an African heritage to win the prize.

The novel is being translated into 13 languages.  The Italian translation has won the Strega European Prize, and the Dutch translation has won the .

The 120-year journey home
Catherine Saujon pictured near Boulder, Colorado.
Catherine Saujon loves to hike. At weekends she hits the trail and enjoys walking through beautiful countryside to a place where she can meditate. It's her way of dealing with the pressures of life at a large recruitment firm in where she's responsible for millions of dollars of revenue from global talent acquisition.
But in April, Catherine's doing something different. She's going on the longest 'hike' of her life – the route is easily over four thousand miles long – and she's heading to a place she's never visited before.
The longest journey begins with a single step
Catherine lives in Boulder, Colorado and she's going to relocate to Dublin, Ireland. That might sound like an adventurous change of life, and Catherine admits it does make her anxious because 'it's a huge move' but it's not a completely unprecedented journey when you dig a little deeper into her family history.
Boulder-based, Mayo bound
Her grandfather, Patrick Feely, left County Mayo in the early 1900s for America and a better life. He met Catherine's German grandmother, Victoria, in Brooklyn and they moved to south Alabama near the Gulf of Mexico where they raised seven children including Catherine's father James Patrick Feely.
So, in a way, Catherine's journey is simply the return leg of a 120-year-old trip.
Catherine Saujon selfie taken near Boulder, Colorado.
Having an Irish grandfather meant that it was relatively easy for her to get Irish citizenship and she had always relished the idea of working and living abroad. When it came to getting her finances sorted, Bank of Ireland came up in her online search results.
"I immediately saw the 'Moving to Ireland' link which provided great information about opening an account. The process itself was smooth and I appreciate that I was able to open a bank account without having to be there in person."
Before she ever set foot on Irish soil, she had her bank account set up
Opening a bank account in Ireland, with help from Frank Tanner in Direct Channels, meant that she could transfer funds there before she ever set foot on Irish soil. She is looking into renting in Dublin, perhaps in Dalkey, using a local agent to find her a suitable place.
'A better way of life'
When asked what she's most looking forward to she answers, without hesitation, 'a better way of life'. Currently, she works very hard for long hours often feeling guilty if she steps away for her desk to grab a bite for lunch. When I spoke to her she hadn't firmed up her plans to get a job in Ireland but she did have another big change in mind.
Catherine will be swapping the blue skies of Colorado for Ireland.
Her longer-term goal is to go back to college to get a Masters in Health Sciences with a view to working in Public Health. To do this in the US might come with a hefty price tag – students currently graduate with debts of around $100,000 – but, in Ireland, the cost of getting her qualification would be far more reasonable – making her goal achievable.
From Bear Lake to Glendalough
Catherine has sold her house, will sell her car and has made plans to bring her two dogs, Gunther and P'nut, over the Atlantic to Dublin where she'll swap hikes to Bear Lake with walks along the Wicklow Way to Glendalough (having invested in rainproof clothing and boots). A trip to her ancestral home in County Mayo is also surely on the cards.

Fraunhofer ENAS presents a gyrocompass for indoor applications and a monitoring system for power distribution networks at SENSOR+TEST digital 2021
Chemnitz/Germany / May 04, 2021
At the digital SENSOR+TEST 2021, Fraunhofer ENAS presents a monitoring system for condition monitoring of plug and cable connections in switching gears for power grids and a MEMS based gyrocompass.
Fully integrated precision MEMS gyroscope in a standalone north-finder.
Installation of sensors at elbow connectors in ground switchgear. The MEMS vibration sensors used were characterized by means of a test station implemented via FMD – Research Fab Microelectronics Germany.
The SENSOR+TEST measurement fair takes place as a digital trade show from May 4-6, 2021. This year, the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS is represented as an online exhibitor and presents technologies, components and systems developed at the institute from the world of sensor and measurement technology. Among other things, the research institute shows how MEMS gyroscopes are used in a gyrocompass and how power distribution grids can be monitored using a multi-sensor system for cable connections.
Compass based on a MEMS gyroscope
Nowadays north-finders based on gyroscopes are used because of their robustness against local Earth magnetic field distortion and independence of electromagnetic transmission. Furthermore, the systems can be used to align equipment in reinforced concrete buildings that requires a specific orientation to the Earth's rotational axis.
The high resolution and precision needed for north-finders is currently only achieved by optical gyroscopes or hemispherical resonator gyroscopes. But they are much more expensive and larger than state-of-the-art MEMS gyroscopes.
Fraunhofer ENAS designed an easy-to-use, compact, transportable, standalone north-finder based on one MEMS gyroscope. The in-house developed, fully integrated tuning fork MEMS gyroscope offers low enough noise and drift to determine north heading down to 1 degree of deviation in less than 10 minutes at a latitude of 50.8 degrees (Chemnitz, Germany) without additional signal conversion electronics. The build in sensor has a bias instability of 0.63 °/h and a noise floor (angular random walk, ARW) of 0.02 °/√h. Moreover, the implemented Maytagging algorithm allows the use of inexpensive consumer electronics, for example a standard stepper motor and low-cost microcontrollers. The measurement routine is fully controlled by the microcontroller, which also collects the angular rate data and determines the north direction by phase fitting. The power consumption stays below 4 watts for the complete measurement cycle.
The gyrocompass will be presented in a short presentation at the Digital Agenda on Tuesday, May 4 at 9 a.m.
Monitoring system for the cable connections of cable-based power grids
The flexible, easily mountable, small-sized, self-sufficient multi sensor wireless monitoring system for medium voltage cable joints was developed together with an international grid operator. With the help of this real-time monitoring system, faults in the cable connections of cable-based power grids can be detected at an early stage, appropriate maintenance work can be carried out and blackouts avoided. In addition, the developed measurement system can contribute to the large-scale digitization of the distribution network. This enables the network operator to continuously record data on power consumption, critical conditions or incipient faults.
The individual sensor nodes consist of a wireless communication module, a power conversion module, and various sensors for detecting e.g. partial discharge, over-temperature and external impacts such as vibrations or shocks. The developed system is featured by an impressive flexibility, small size and small weight. It can be fitted easily around all common power cables with shielding and cable joints. Even the current induction energy harvester has a flexible design. From a current flow of around 15 amperes, the radio electronics and sensor technology is supplied with sufficient energy. The whole sensor node including radio, sensors and energy harvester is designed for and practically tested in a wide operating temperature range from –40°C to +110 °C. The system is currently undergoing extensive field testing in a switchgear in a 22.9 kV distribution grid.

JDG2 career update

Well, it looks like JDG2 has picked up another knee injury, and will probably need surgury.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/462/netherlands/2010/03/08/1823702/feyenoord-fear-lengthy-jonathan-de-guzman-injury-absence
If he wasn't low on the dutch pecking order he certainly is now
Also, heard that he turned down Russian club CSKA, but cant find a link

That explains why he wasn't even on the bench these last games with his club. Personally I think that while injuries didn't help JDG2, even if he played in a better club and represented a better country than JDG, JDG's career has been more remarkable than his little brother's.
Have to agree there. At some point he will probably consider Canada again because at this rate it would be surprising if he ever won a cap with Holland. This will be his second opperation.

Looks like Jonathan De Guzman was officially released: http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=101127
Released?
Because of his injury? I hope he recovers and gets back at it.
jpg75 12
He's under contract until June. Pretty sure what this article is saying is that the club has informed the 7 players that they will not be making them an offer when their contracts are up this summer and that they are free to start looking for new clubs.
I think JDG waited too long to make a move. He had plenty of offers two years ago and even some last year, now if he goes looking for a transfer this summer he will have to be looking way lower down the totem pole.
Not necessarily. There are a few teams who have had their eyes on him (Chelsea, Valencia) who balked at paying the transfer fee that Feyenoord were asking for - up to 10M Euros 2 years ago. Now that he's out of contract he can sign for free with any club he wants. Granted he's had 3 knee injuries, but still, someone is going to take a chance on him.
Grizzly 2,792
To add to what jpg said, by and large the decision is not his about when and to whom he transfers to although he would have to approve it. It would be more accurate to say that Feyernoord waited too long to make a move but even that is only in hindsight. They were trying to maximize return and couldn't have predicted the serious injury problems he has had.
Maybe I'm completely off base with this, but wasn't there an article a year ago or so that Feyenoord was looking to sell him?
SthMelbRed 1,529

^There were rumoured to be several offers from big clubs for him two and three years back, which Feyenoord did not accept, presumably under the assumption that his value would appreciate. What actually happened was that they miscalculated. With about eighteen months left on his contract, JDG2 began to make it clear that he would not be re-signing with Feyenoord. They immediately began to look to make the best deal that they could for him before he could leave on a free. Unfortunately for them, he then suffered a series of injuries which basically made him untransferable in the short-term. He will now move for no transfer fee this summer.

TheKottonmouthed1555362307
He had an agreement with City in place, but Feyenoord could reach a transfer fee. then Feyenoord has some good offers this season, but the coach liked him and wanted to keep him in the fold, then his knee went out again and the coach decided maybe he did not want him anymore and now he will be on a free transfer after the Erevidise is done. From what I have read.

Feyenoord had an offer of 10 million Euro's from Man City in 2008 but a newly appointed director didn't think it was a real offer because it came in via some shady middle people.
Since then JDG2 has been constantly injured with a bad knee injury and a ankle problem.
Feyenoord wanted to renew his contract but JDG2 doesn't want to stay, even though Feyenoord have been taking great care of him during his injury troubles and given him a home since he was 12. So...cheating on his country is not the only thing he can do
Not a single club has yet shown any interest so TFC should take a shot...

Ha, he can come to TFC and play for Canada because he is never going to play for the Oranje, but first I want an apology.

This just illustrates what kind of individual Judas is, he has no loyalty whatsoever. He probably believes huge clubs will be sending him offers when he is out of contract, I would love for no team in Europe to take a chance on him
That would be a nice blow to his ego
Barcelona sports papers today say that Jono is a priority signing for Espanyol, they are looking for someone who can play behind the strikers.
Since they had advanced negotiations with Julian a year ago, perhaps they just continued with the little brother? Do they have the same agent? Or dad?
^ What's your gut feeling on this potential move Jeffrey? Does it make sense for both sides?
Guest Ed
His 'agent' is SP International, who also represent Van Nistelrooy, Kalou among others.
Here is an article from sky sports. Also mentions interest from CSKA, PSV, and Hamburg.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11827_6183046,00.html
He's definately not going to CSKA Moscow and PSV. He rejected Moscow in January and he will not play for another team in Holland.
he will not play for another team in Holland.
Has he given a reason for this? ie. Is he respecting Feyenoord, or does he want out of Holland?
That's exactly the 2 reasons he has given.
I would be shocked if he doesn't sign for Espanyol. It sounds like the perfect situation for him, a mid-table La Liga team. I think he will be a starter at Espanyol but I would love to hear what Jeffery has to say about this whole situation. If he stays healthy I think he will have success and generate interest from clubs like Valencia/Villareal/Sevilla. Might even find himself back into the Dutch national team picture. Do you think that is possible SCF08?

"Microstructural Evolution of a Silicon-oxide Phase in a Perfluorosulfo" by K.A. Mauritz, I.D. Stefanithis et al.
Nanocomposites were produced via sol-gel reactions for tetraethylorthosilicate within the cluster morphology of perfluorosulfonic acid films. Small-angle x-ray scattering revealed that the polar/nonpolar nanophase-separated morphological template persists despite invasion by the silicon oxide phase. Scanning electron microscopy (ESEM-EDAX) studies have indicated that the greatest silicon oxide concentration occurs near the surface and decreases to a minimum in the middle. Optical and ESEM micrographs revealed a brittle, surface-attached silica layer at high silicon oxide contents. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Excited to share photos from our trip to Maui. When Blake and I got married we knew that we would make coming to Maui a ritual and started by turning our 1 year anniversary into a vacation trip. We started our stay at Hotel Wailea who welcomed us into Maui. A little breakdown of what we did and loved during our stay.
HOTEL // I was excited to try it Hotel Wailea as it's an adult only resort (kids 16 and up) so we could really get that romantic getaway vibe. I am always struck by the amount of lush greens in Maui. The property was filled with flowers and palms like our own little oasis. We spent our time by the pool, eating lazy breakfast on our balcony, and heading down the beach. It was the perfect place to relax in peace and quiet.
FOOD // This is only our second time in Maui but we are starting to find our favorite places. Here are some of the spots close to Wailea where we loved to chow down. Will be sharing some other favorites in my next post as well.
The restaurant at Hotel Wailea: The restaurant at Hotel Wailea. We ate here for dinner with a beautiful candle lit view. Would recommend for a romantic fine dining dinner. The pasta was so good!
Coconut's Fish Cafe: Perfect place for a quick informal lunch. They are known for their 17 ingredient fish taco. The taco itself is HUGE and a little messy to eat but it is so worth it. I also love the mahi mahi fish sandwich there. Must stop if you have never been.
Monkey Pod Kitchen: We ate here twice for dinner on this trip. We just had to come back. Their flat bread pizzas are incredible and all the food has a fresh farm to table vibe to it. Tons of local Hawaii beers on tap and the best part, house made pies! The coconut cream pie… I dream about it. Very casual dining and we even sat at the bar one night and loved the live music.
Kihei Caffe: Don't get intimidated by the line out the door. The line moves fast and it's worth it! This little spot across the road from the beach is a casual breakfast, lunch, brunch spot. If you want a simple egg breakfast or banana macadamia nut pancakes, it's all infused with Hawaiian flavors. Great spot to grab a quick bite and then head across the street and watch the surfers do their thing.
Cafe O'Lei: This restaurant actually also does catering and catered our wedding! I didn't even know they have a restaraunt until I was searching for places to eat one night for dinner. Great place to grab some local caught fish and celebrate with Mai Tais. Casual, kid friendly and buzzing with happy people. Also in downtown Kihei and great spot to go hit up a bar afterwards if you are looking to go out.
ACTIVITIES // Maui is always a great place to explore. I highly recommend renting a car so you can explore different parts of the island. Their are ubers and taxis but some of these places you just want to take your own car.
Maui Waveriders: Those who know me know how I have always said I would never go surfing. Mostly because I am both fascinated and terrified by the ocean and what's inside it. Sharks. I am scared of sharks. I also used to fish alot when I was younger and got a feel for what I am pulling out of the waves… Anyways! Blake wanted to sign up for a private surf lesson and the night before, I decided, you know what? When in Maui… learn to surf. I am SO glad I did! I got up many times and had so much fun! We got a private lesson for the 2 of us which made me feel much more comfortable with such hands on help. Pushed my boundaries and glad I overcame that fear. Highly recommend this company. We surfed the break in Lahaina in the morning. Side note: wear a one piece. I lost my bikini bottom a few times 😉 And don't forget to bring sunscreen!
Road To Hana: The Road to Hana is always a must when on Maui. Seeing the rainforest there is something out of a fairy tale. This trip, we went to see the Seven Sacred Pools. I highly suggest driving the back country way, if you are comfortable with going off the beaten path. Insanely beautiful ocean views riding along the coast to Hana.
Emily Brooking - Beautiful pictures and love your recommendations. That first romper is stunning!
Monika - Love these photos!
Natali - Oh wow!! Nature looks so surreal and breathtaking! You're looking gorgeous in that blue dress, it suits you perfectly. Great post!
Thuy - Love the picture of you guys sipping your drinks and looking at the camera. Also, I prefer adult resorts too. Children running around while I'm on a trip with bae? No thanks lmao.
Bryn - This is gorgeous!! It looks amazing! And love that blue dress!
Cheyanne - Love the outfits!
Amanda @AGlamLifestyle - Looks like you guys had the best time! I've been eyeing these Soludos slides for a few months now. Guess I need to pull the trigger!


Four years ago, the DJ music mixologists of Ambient DJs decided to post a few wedding cocktail hour playlists and select accompanying cocktails. Posting these blogs was fun, but we never aspired to scale up the project to any set number of playlists. We just kept posting them as ideas came to mind. Along the way, we covered a wide range of themes and musical genres. The variety and depth of musical knowledge at our company is something to be truly proud of.
Fast forwarding to March 1, 2019, we're excited to post our 100th wedding cocktail hour playlist! To make the 100th playlist extra special, our DJs/staff were provided an opportunity to select their all-time favorite songs appropriate for a wedding cocktail hour.
For a signature drink, we've selected a celebratory bottle of chilled LaMarca Prosecco. This Italian sparkling wine is refreshing, crisp and a great value at just $14 a bottle.
Thank you everbody for reading and listening! If you have any input on how you would like to see the wedding cocktail hour project evolve, please let us know. If you are strategic partner who can help us take this project to the next level, we'd love to hear from you!
Next to each song is listed in parentheses the team member who selected it.
Ambient DJ Service is an award-winning mobile DJ entertainment company specializing in weddings and servicing the New Jersey, New York City and eastern Pennsylvania.

Information published on 12 July 2021 in the UIC electronic newsletter "UIC eNews" Nr eNews.
What is the shape of future mobility? A core topic that was discussed during the summer meetings of the European Management Committee (EMC) and the Regional Assembly Europe (RAE) on 6 July 2021
ERRAC
European Year of Rail
Regional Assembly
Shift2Rail
Statutory Meeting
The EMC and the RAE meetings were held online in the morning and afternoon of 6 July respectively, bringing together senior representatives of member companies from right across the region. Along with the partner organisations and supported by the Europe Team and colleagues from the UIC HQ team, the focus of the discussions was on core topics such as business recovery post pandemic – what will be the shape of future mobility, European Year of Rail, regional finance, the projects programme 2021 & 2022, standards, research and innovation and contact and interfaces with a number of new partner organisations.
During the well-attended Regional Assembly Europe (RAE) in the afternoon, Regional President Francisco Cardoso dos Reis, IP (Portugal) and UIC Director General François Davenne, thanked the members for their support over the last months and highlighted how important it was to have been able to remain in contact, albeit on an online fashion. Meeting the needs of the railway community in such a successful manner during these difficult and uncertain times is something of which the UIC team is justifiably proud.
In his debrief of recent topics from the Board of Directors, François Davenne highlighted the very pleasing increases in the member satisfaction rate with regard to UIC's work, commitment and reactivity. He and the team will be making every endeavour to continue the trend. He highlighted the importance of developing inter-regional projects and the delivery of technical solutions and key tools. This will enable the development of a more prominent programme of solution-finding projects that will support the target of railways becoming the backbone of future mobility.
Simon Fletcher, Director UIC Europe, spoke of the pending changes to the EMC college. The mandates of the current EMC come to an end in December and he announced that the call for candidates to establish the College for 2022 and 2023 will be launched following the Regional Assembly. A recommendation will be made to the EMC in September and the RAE on 9 December will be invited to endorse the nominations with mandates starting in January 2022.
Concerning the (current) 2021 and (future) 2022 Work Programme, Aline Wego, Head of Project Management Office, shared a summary list of the projects that have been started in 2021 and the headlines for the 2022 Work Programme. In her message, Ms Wego included a debrief of the 'Projects Workshop' held on 4 May where the full proposed programme for 2022 was presented across all sectors and regions and representing where business needs expressed by member companies had been expressed. Ms Wego presented the timeline for securing the necessary investment for the 2022 work programme and highlighted the importance to the process of getting initial feedback on interest from potential investing members. Due to the ongoing restrictions, Ms Wego announced that the deadline for the submission of 'interest forms' has been extended to mid-September.
Optimising the process of developing the UIC projects programme, is an important opportunity. François Davenne highlighted the proposal to organise a fast-track process in exceptional situations for projects that are considered to be urgent and for which the current process is not appropriate in terms of timeline. The European region will act as the test bed for this process before it is rolled out to other regions.
Regarding regional finances, Chief Financial officer Thierry Béra presented the current budgetary situation and invited the meeting to recommend the approval of the positive 2020 results, to note the in line with forecast financial situation at mid-year for the 2021 budget and the first elements for the 2022 & 2023 budgets. The meeting was asked to take note of the forecast for the three-year plan.
Marie Plaud-Lombard, Communications Director, gave an update on how UIC is participating in the European Year of Rail, the events it will organise, how it will communicate and how members can contribute and share their rail success stories. As part of the European Commission's events, UIC plans to take part in the Connecting Europe Express initiative being developed by CER, where the train will cross Europe from Lisbon to Paris in September-October. During EYR, UIC is also organising a series of specific events with themes including rail tourism, safety, accessibility and the International Symposium in November-December, which will mark the beginning of the UIC centenary celebrations and will focus on the future challenges for rail in the next five, 10 and 15 years' time.
It was highlighted that the UIC is playing a partnership role in a high-level summit that is being organised by Portuguese colleagues in Lisbon on 10, 11 and 12 November under the title of "SHAPING THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY". The meetings were invited to 'save the date' and to note that there will be more information to follow regarding the programme, registration etc.
The ability for the railways to be able to rebuild customer confidence post pandemic and to regain passenger numbers, was the topic of the paper which UIC Passenger Director Marc Guigon presented. The so-called "New Normal" White Paper, is the culmination of work undertaken by the UIC passenger team with the support of consultancy firm Roland Berger. It sets out a wide-ranging set of recommendations for the resumption of business post-pandemic and includes mobility trends brought about by the pandemic and what this means for public transport. Recommendations for the railways to expand its domain of relevance include enhancing customer experience, innovation, further investment, fostering competition and improving environmental performance. Key also is the importance of maximising the use of existing capacity to provide the customer with the most practical transport solutions.
Regarding cooperation with other modes, Mr Guigon mentioned the MoUs underway between UIC and IATA (International Air Transport Association), UITP (International Association of Public Transport) and STA (Smart Ticketing Alliance) – the body promoting the establishment of interoperable smart ticketing in transport services in Europe and elsewhere.
In presenting the MoU that has been developed with Shift2Rail, François Davenne outlined the main areas of cooperation, especially sustainability and low-carbon solutions, FRMCS consistency, Data Modelling, Functional System Architecture, the definition of system interfaces and supporting integration of deliverables into the operational railway.
Martin Brennan, Head of Research and Innovation, spoke about the role of UIC in the successor structure to Shift2Rail, Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking. He highlighted the governance structure and how UIC will be involved in the System Pillar Steering Group as a technical body.
The UIC has been and continues to be an integral part of ERRAC (European Railway Research Advisory Council). In respect to the ERRAC Officers for 2021 – 2024, appointed during the recent plenary meeting, he focussed on the role of the new chairman Roland Moser, currently SBB Head Technology Officer and nominated by UIC. Whilst the ERRAC secretariat passes to UNIFE under the rotational process, Mr Brennan will continue to provide UIC support to the ongoing work of the Council.
Regarding DAC (Digital Automatic Couplers), Frédéric Henon, Head of Safety, spoke about its implementation and automation benefits for freight traffic, the important tasks that UIC is performing in this programme and the positive impact that DAC will have not just on freight but on the whole railway system.
Standardisation is a very central part of the UIC's daily life and Célia Levy, UIC Chief Standardisation Officer, gave an update on the work of the ESMG (European Standards Management Group). The ESMG, a tripartite group with CER and EIM, is responsible for preparing, considering and coordinating the ROC (Railway Operating Community) contributions to all European bodies related to standardisation issues. A positive report has been drafted after six months stating the added value of having a tripartite body that is able to focus on the interface between European regulations and standards from a ROC perspective.
François Davenne added that a common paper is to be established on international standardisation and highlighted the importance of working towards a single vision concerning sectoral technical specifications and a mutual understanding of the roles and responsibilities of all the stakeholders involved.
François Davenne then presented an initiative that has evolved from an idea conceived by Team Europe with Francisco Cardoso dos Reis to shape future mobility through a multi-regional approach.
Taking the previously presented 'New Normal' White Paper, it is proposed to develop the recommendations on a region by region basis. In so doing the task will be to develop a complementary approach that might lead not only to a set of European solutions but a set that could emerge as a global perspective, one that provides the customer with a consolidated and standardised approach around the regions.
The European region will issue a paper before the summer break that will help other regions to develop their ideas and put forward their ideas that will be used to influence the agenda for the International Symposium on 30 November and 1 December.
It is widely acknowledged that railways are the least emitting form of land transport. In the lead up to COP26, Pinar Yilmazer, Senior Sustainability Advisor and representing Head of Sustainability Lucie Anderton, presented gave an update how and where UIC will engage in helping to coordinate the global voice of rail. Setting out an impressive provisional list of events and partnerships, it is clear that Sustainable Development in railways will be a central theme at COP26 scheduled to be held from 1 – 12 November in Glasgow.
Regarding Relations with partner organisations, Passenger Director Marc Guigon, updated the meeting on the three MoUs currently underway, notably with UEFA (Union of European Football Associations), the STA (Smart Ticketing Alliance) and OSDM (Open Sales and Distribution Model).
It was noted that the 33rd Regional Assembly is planned for 9 December 2021 as a physical meeting, with the EMC due to take place in the morning.
Members are warmly invited to be part of the UIC International Symposium to be held from 30 November and 1 December 2021, which will mark the beginning of the UIC centenary celebrations.

COVID Vaccine Drive to Kick Off From 16 Jan: Health Ministry
The roll-out of Covid-19 vaccine will give priority to the healthcare and frontline workers.
Updated: 09 Jan 2021, 5:55 PM IST
The Union Health Ministry said on Saturday, 9 January, that the much-awaited coronavirus vaccination drive will kick off on January 16.
"It was decided that in view of the forthcoming festivals, including Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Magh Bihu etc., the Covid-19 vaccination will start from January 16, 2021."
The Union Health Ministry
The roll-out of Covid-19 vaccine will give priority to the healthcare and frontline workers who are estimated to be around 3 crore, followed by those above 50 years of age and the under-50 population groups with comorbidities numbering around 27 crore.
On January 3, two vaccines - Bharat Biotech's Covaxin and Oxford-AstraZeneca's Covishield manufactured by Serum Institute of India - were approved for restricted emergency use.
6-Month Effects of COVID-19 in Discharged Patients: The Lancet
Earlier on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting to review the status of Covid-19 in the country along with the preparedness of the states and UTs for the vaccination drive.
The Prime Minister took a detailed and comprehensive review of the status of Covid management covering various issues. Modi was also briefed about the preparedness status of the Centre in close collaboration with the state and UT governments for the roll-out of the vaccine.
The Prime Minister was also apprised about the Co-WIN vaccine delivery management system. The unique digital platform will provide real time information of vaccine stocks, their storage temperature and individualised tracking of the beneficiaries of the Covid-19 vaccine.
This platform will assist the programme managers across all levels through automated session allocation for pre-registered beneficiaries, their verification and for generating a digital certificate upon successful completion of the vaccine schedule. More than 79 lakh beneficiaries have been already registered on the platform.
As the vaccinators and vaccine administrators comprise a crucial pillar of the vaccination exercise, their training process was detailed out. A totalof 2,360 participants were trained during the national level 'Training of Trainers' which comprised state immunisation officials, cold chain officials, IEC officials, and development partners, among others.
More than 61,000 programme managers, 2 lakh vaccinators and 3.7 lakh other vaccination team members have been trained so far as part of the trainings in the state, district and block levels.
The Prime Minister was also apprised on the three phases of dry runs which have been conducted across the country. The third dry run was conducted on Friday across 615 districts covering 4,895 sites in 33 states and UTs.

Three most common types of national accreditation agencies: The Distance Education & Training Council (DETC) Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges & Schools (ACICS) Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) Dies ist eine Liste von anerkannten hochschulbezogenen Akkreditierungsorganisationen. Professional universities can be accredited by the Finnish government and administered by the Ministry of Education. Regional accreditation is the most widely recognized and accepted type of accreditation in the United States. As a rule, college credits or degrees earned at a regionally accredited institution are accepted by other regionally accredited colleges or universities (non-regionally accredited programmes are not accepted).
Accreditations of colleges and universities: Who accredits the accrediters?
When you want a college or college diploma, you need to know the school's accreditation. While there are fly-by-night clubs that are clad enough to make an impression, promise funding and print fantastic-sounding diplomas, they end up giving pupils neither the abilities nor the qualifications they need to move their career and life forward. During this period, the real estate crises culminated because finance accreditation firms like Moody's gave their consent to mortgage-backed stocks that were ultimately valueless.
It is important that there is honesty in school, just as there is honesty in finance. Just as there are shabby colleges ("Gradmühlen"), there are also shabby accreditation bodies ("Akkreditierungsmühlen"). Mill accreditation grinders often have reputable-sounding reputations, but a telltale token that it is with an accreditation grinder that they are desirous of stamping their seal of approval on courses of study that are not approved by the U.S. Department of Education, often abridged USDE.
When you graduate and enter the labour force, or choose to move to another college, or find that you want to take your training to the next stage, but only then find out that you have a diploma from a non-U.S.-recognized college, it may be too early.
So if a college or programme does not have an accreditation recognised by $E, you need to find out why. The accreditation is the university' s accreditation system and you need to know which accreditor is legal. The US accreditation bodies are privately mandated to accredit colleges by assessing faculties, ressources, curriculum, competence and credit.
Undertakings without USE accreditation cannot provide government assistance to pupils, and credit from non-U.S.-recognized colleges may not be transferred to other scholars. Experienced tradespeople can also fire or downgrade the credentials and qualifications of such a school. However, there are exemptions from this regulation, in particular special programmes such as clinic hypnotherapy, for which there are no programmes recognised by the US $E.
Specialised programmes such as this are of interest to selected groups of people despite the fact that they are not recognised by the US dollar. Filing for CHEA accreditation is not necessary for US $E accreditation, but due to their high level of awareness in the college and college accreditation community, many accrediting agencies want the CHEA label in parallel with this.
There are numerous accreditation bodies recognised by the USDE and CHEA to assess certain degree programmes. USDE and CHEA recognise accreditation bodies of three different types: Regionally, nationally (national religious and national career-related) and programmatically. But its first priority should be the accreditation of the institutions as a whole. Accreditation by region is the highest possible type of accreditation.
Only 7 USDE-recognized accreditation bodies are regionally accredited, and only 6 are both USE and CHEA-recognized accreditation bodies. The CHEA' s accreditation of an accreditation body has no genuine influence on the performance of the body; it is an additional option stamping of authorisation. Accredited colleges give you the best conditions for the transfer of your accreditation and for admission to Research Training Groups.
These are the 7 accreditation agencies: However, what about non-accredited local colleges? Meanwhile, we are hoping that you are confident that you need to find out whether a serious college has accreditation in the region. And if so, you want to make sure that the programme you are considering at this college is in line with your needs and interests.
However, what about a language institute that looks appealing to you but has no accreditation in the region? Shouldn't you just give up such colleges and look elsewhere? USDE also recognises accreditation bodies at the country level. State-approved institutes may be out of the question if you are looking for a particular type of religious or vocational college.
If, for example, you wish to attend the service, an organisation that corresponds to your wishes and convictions can be certified at national level. This could also be the case if you wanted a specific type of education for a particular profession, such as penal law or health care. Non-regionally recognised colleges have a good track records in attracting high-paying, satisfactory professionals.
In fact, local and regionally recognised colleges can even take some of their credit. However, for non-USAE accreditation or local accreditation you will need to conduct your due diligence. However, for those who do not have an accreditation. The most important issues when you consider a state-approved school: When you want a prosecution position, call the prosecution authorities and speak to someone in staff.
One could well note that they do not distinguish between regional accreditation and national accreditation. Regional accelerated education institutions, such as their large state colleges, often refuse or invalidate the accreditation certificates they receive from state-accredited institutions. So if you choose to study at a state-recognized college before graduating, or you are graduating and choose to go on to a bachelor's or master's degree, you might find that you are losing some credentials, or confined yourself to statewide accredited postgraduate programmes.
The following are two listings of accreditation agencies: Finally, there are accreditation bodies that provide accreditation for certain degree programmes. Some cases of such programme accreditation coincide with the accreditation of a region or a country. You will find MBA programmes at locally or statewide recognised colleges that also have AACSB accreditation (The Association to Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business).
If this is the case, such an accreditation is usually for show - -it indicates an extra authorization of experts, but is not necessary. As an alternative, you can also find some very important programme accreditation. Acupuncture and Middle Eastern Medicine Accreditation Commission (ACAOM) is the main accreditation body for those who offer this qualification.
In an area like akupuncture, such accreditation can be more useful for you and your employer than local or state accreditation. If you are interested in a major area in which programme accreditation plays an important role, you should consider social work programmes. Study programmes in social work without CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) programme accreditation can make the transfer to a postgraduate college considerably more difficult and could subvert your job prospects.
Further information on the programme accreditation can be found in the CHEA paper "Recognised Accreditation Organisations" (PDF). What is the accreditation procedure for on-line school? On-line programmes must comply with the same accreditation standard as their colleagues on college. Among other things, the accreditation of on-line universities is judged on the qualitiy of the training, the prestige of the department and the personnel as well as the admission prerequisites.
Academic accreditation is particularly important for on-line universities, as it is possible that undergraduates may not have the same level of support and guidance as undergraduates oncus. An apprentice who chooses an accredited on-line college can help them make sure they are not deceived by a grade mill. We' ve seen that USDE-approved accreditation bodies are far from driving and improving training by setting up so many tyres for the school that accreditation can actually hinder the learning proces.
$e-approved accreditation can work like a guide group that decides who is in a particular community and who is not. org We value USDE-approved accreditation bodies, especially local accreditations, and think it is better to attend such an approved group.
We also want you, our reader, to be informed about other high value education offerings that do not have local accreditation but have been accredited by other USDE-approved accreditation bodies (or have not been accredited because the programmes are so specialized). You can still get these colleges where you need to go, perhaps at a lower price and in less amount of tim.
In order to decide on the accreditation of a college or a course of study, proceed as follows. And if so, please make sure that the programmes of this college are in your interest. When it is not regional accreditation, find out who carries out the accreditation. Has the accreditation agent $E been recognised? In case you have not found the accreditation body mentioned in this paper, please refer to the table "Recognized Accreditation Organizations" of the CHEA (PDF).
When the accrediter of the college is not labeled as USDE-approved, find out why this is the case and what it means for your education and careers as well. When you just can't find an accrediter, be extremely careful (it may well be necessary to consider the college or the program).
