How to Save Money Remodeling Your Bathroom
The Easiest Places for Saving Money
Some pieces are worth spending money on, some not so much. Save money on the pieces you're willing to downgrade so that you can afford that breathtaking shower. Here are some ideas:
Faucets can range anywhere from $30.00 to over $1000. Especially for the bathroom sink, consider a cheaper option, and put that money to good use elsewhere, where it can really make an impact!
Tile Choices
Fancy tile definitely makes a bathroom look incredible, but for many the fanciest tile options are out of reach. I would suggest choosing some gorgeous tile alongside a cheaper option, and creating a design that incorporates the two together. You can have your gorgeous glass tile in a horizontal strip than runs along your shower wall, and create a truly unique look that is just as nice as the fancy tile alone.
Or Use Less Tile
Although tile is much cleaner than paint, the reality is that tile is much more expensive than paint. Rather than covering an entire wall with tile, opt for tile only around the sink and vanity while painting the other walls.
Choose Energy Efficient Upgrades
While not an immediate saving, energy efficient toilets, light fixtures and even pressurized shower heads are all great ways to save money in the long run. Typically energy efficient pieces are more expensive than their non-efficient counterparts, however, the money you'll save on water use in the long run will make that initial cost well worthwhile.
Freshen Up Rather Than Replace
Not every piece requires replacing. You can save a lot of money by working with what you already have. Here are some easy things you can revamp in your bathroom.
Redo Caulking and Grout
Over time caulking and grout wears down, gets moldy, and loses its initial sheen. You can really freshen up your existing tile and make it look incredibly clean and new with some new grout.
Use Your Existing Vanity
Rather than replacing the vanity entirely, try just replacing the countertop, and give the cabinets a facelift with a fresh coat of paint. Also replace the cabinet drawer pulls, and you've got an entirely new vanity!
Keep the Toilet
If you don't want to completely gut your toilet, simply replacing the lid can make a big impact on the look of the toilet. Typically plastic, toilet lids will often show considerable wear, where the rest of the toilet just needs a good cleaning to look sparkly.
Frame Your Vanity Mirror
An often overlooked idea, sometimes your bathroom mirror just needs a simple facelift in the form of a frame! You can easily make your own by purchasing framing wood, staining it and putting it into place. It's much cheaper than completely replacing the entire mirror.

I'm very excited about this book by Hannah Nunn, published by Bloomsbury.
It's due out around October, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
whole book about contemporary lighting - the hands on, beautifully made
variety and I'm extremely flattered to be included in it. I first met
Hannah back in 1999 when I did my first Trade Fair at Top Drawer in
London. She was just about to open her shop in Hebden Bridge and was
interested in taking some of my lamps. Radiance soon became a reality
and I'm pleased to see it's turned into a great success, selling not only mine and
many other lighting peeps work, but her own beautiful range of laminated, paper cut
shades which are the backbone to her fabulous shop.
We almost met again
last year when she first approached me about compiling the book as she
wanted to talk to the designers first hand. Sadly we missed our
appointment due to my school holiday mix up and then the birth of her
friend's baby took top priority. Nevertheless, we've since chatted over
the phone and emailed and continue to keep in touch.
There are so many artists featured in the book (43 in total, from across the globe!), the amount of work involved must have been massive, a real labour of love. It's finally done and off at the printers.
If you're not
familiar with Hannah's work, you should pop over to her online shop here
as well as taking a peek at her own blog. She writes honestly and
beautifully about her work as both designer and shop owner (not always an easy balance I'm sure! I loved this post on the subject) and shares photos of the wonderful
countryside where she lives, which is a constant inspiration to her work. One day I
will make it to her shop, but for now I shall keep popping over to the virtual one and shall wait patiently for the book to arrive.
Here's the link telling you more about it with a sneak peek inside and how to pre-order.

We have had some really great weather this year and the fall has been no different. Already there have been some frosts this year and some blasts of really cold weather we are encountering now. These recent cold blasts has put tell us when we need to get certain things done and also when to stop doing others. There are so many things that we have to do to prepare not only the course but also the clubhouse and grounds for the winter. Up to this point we have been busy mulching leaves and trying to keep the playing surfaces free of debris, the tees received a heavy application of topdressing, patio furniture has been stored, the ice and water machine on the back patio has been winterized, the irrigation system has been drained but not blown out yet, the coolers have been brought in during the really cold snaps, the greens received a fungicide application for winter diseases like snow mold and the last cut on the tees, fairways and rough was completed. Even though we are experiencing some unseasonable frigid weather we will not be frozen for long which will allow us to continue to knock out some small projects. We have also cut back on our staffing levels for the winter which brings up some things to consider during this time of year when normal maintenance practices are limited by staffing. One of the most important items to address is raking the bunkers. There are times when the sand in the bunkers is frozen from the really cold temperatures but we always try to keep them raked during the off season when we can. You can help us out by just making sure to rake your footprints after hitting your shot. This picture below is what I do not want to see, after only 3 hours after raking this bunker on the first hole are footprints leading to where this golfer hit their shot and leaving his foot prints not raked.
|If you look close you can see footprints starting below and walking towards the center of the bunker.
|The sand based bentgrass tees were core aerified again this fall and topdressed and the other tees were just topdressed. Our main focus was to first do the tees with a high population of bentgrass to help firm them up and dilute thatch.
|During some high winds the old netting on the driving range ripped.
|Phil and Mike securing the netting back up.
|Tree work on the driving range tee. The two locusts on the driving range tee had to come down, they were dead and a hazard to anyone hitting balls.
|An old pine tree behind 17 blue tee that snapped years ago needed to be removed as well.
|This is the pine tree on the left side on 17 fairway. Finally after removing a dead leader a few years ago the rest of the tree died an needed to be removed.
|White lines painted on the surface roots that need to be removed.

KARACHI: Pakistani left-handed batsman Fawad Alam was named in a 25-player list which will be a part of the initial Test Camp scheduled between April 11 and 15 at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
The camp is being conducted to finalise the squad for a one-off and two Tests against Ireland and England respectively in May.
Fawad, 32, is currently Pakistan's best domestic batsman with an average of 55.37 in first-class cricket and has piled up 10,742 runs in just 145 outings.
The left-handed batsman also recently bested most of national team's mainstays after he scored 19 in the yo-yo endurance test at the National Cricket Academy on Tuesday.
His score of 19 was just two shy of the wicketkeeper-batsman Muhammad Rizwan who topped the chart with a score of 21. Right-handed batsman Asad Shafiq was second with a score of 20.
Pacer Hasan Ali, and batsmen Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman were the fourth best with scores of 18.
Meanwhile, Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed scored 17.4 in the test.
"The test was held before the selection for the Test squad and also before announcing the central contracts," a source informed The Express Tribune.
On the other hand, the coaches were not satisfied with the fitness test left-arm pacer Usman Khan Shinwari and he will be allowed another chance to prove his fitness.
Players named for initial Test camp
Azhar Ali, Sami Aslam, Haris Sohail, Asad Shafiq, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Usman Salahuddin, Fawad Alam, Saad Ali, Imamul Haq, Bilal Asif, Muhammad Asghar, Shadab Khan, Kashif Bhatti, Muhammad Amir, Muhammad Abbas, Hasan Ali, Rahat Ali, Mir Hamza, Sarfraz Ahmed, Muhammad Rizwan, Faheem Ashraf, Hussain Talat.
Two players — Shaheen Shah Afridi and Musa Khan — were added in the list under the player development category.
Leg-spinner Yasir Shah and left-handed opener Shan Masood will miss the tour due to hip and knee injuries respectively.
The final squad will be announced later while their camp will take place from April 18-22, before the team departs for the tour on April 23.

How Inflation Targeting Operates in the Uk and Critically Evaluate the Benefits of Inflation Targeting
"Inflation targeting is a monetary policy strategy used by central banks for maintaining prices at a level or within a specific range."Financial Times (n.d.). The Central Bank meets the preset targets for the annual inflation rates by changing interest rates. Inflation and interest rates are closely related. The Central Bank, therefore, uses interest rates by lowering or raising them to the set target. For example, the bank will raise interest rates if inflation looks like it is above the target or lowers interest rates if inflation is lower than the target.
In May 1997, UK's new Government announced that the Bank of England in the country would be operated independently. A Monetary Policy Committee was set up under the Bank of England Act, which is responsible for interest rates decisions even though the Government determines the policy objectives. There are 9 members in the MPC, including the Governor of the bank, 2 Deputy Governors, 2 Bank Executive Directors and 4 external members assigned by the Exchequer's Chancellor. The principal statutory duty of the Committee is to stabilise prices. This is defined with reference to the target for annual retail price inflation excluding payments for mortgage interest rates (RPIX). A letter by the Chancellor at the year of 1998, defining MPC's submission states that the inflation target is maintained at 2.5 % at all times. A target may be missed by more than 1% on either side, in which event, the Governor as chairman of MPC writes a letter to the Chancellor explaining why they did not reach the target and the remedy action that is to be taken. Until 2004, the inflation target switched to 2%, which based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the previous RPIX target of 2.5%. In addition to MPC's responsibility of price stability, it must also support the Government's objectives for growth and employment together with the Government's economic policy.
MPC conducts its affairs in a transparent manner. There are two major engines of transparency: the quarterly inflation report prepared by the Bank staff under the direction and approval of the MPC. It gives a detailed explanation of current economic developments and a plan for inflation and GDP growth for the next 2 years. Minutes taken during the MPC's monthly meetings are also important as they give a truthful account of the discussions taken by the Committee.
The principal objective of monetary policy is to keep inflation rates low and stable over a long period of time. The MPC sets the interest rate so that the Bank of England can lend short term money to financial institutions. This is called an official repo rate which affects the entire short and long term interest rates set by financial institutions and commercial banks' borrowers and savers. Other than that, it also affects share prices, bonds and exchange rate. Apart from adjusting the interest rate by MPC, an inflation target can also be achieved by using a policy which known as "Quantitative Easing". From the year of 2009 to 2012, MPC purchased a total value of £375billion of UK government debt. The objective of this action was to bring more money into the economy, and then inflation would increase. This policy can be used when the inflation rate is below 2% for a short term only.
Decisions made by the Bank of England's MPC change the lives of the citizens in the UK, such as investors' investment returns, mortgage costs for home owners, availability of jobs and inflation. These and more are directly influenced by the Committee's monthly decisions about the right interest rate for UK. The public in UK are aware of MPC existence even though not many of them know how it carries out its work. They also believe through an opinion poll, that the country is possible to continue maintaining a low and stable inflation rate. As a result, the committees' job will be easier if the public trust their decision.

Tonsil Op Forces Jenny Frost To Cancel First Solo Gig
The Star has reports that former Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost had to cancel first solo gig at Birmingham's BRMB show after having her tonsils removed. Frost was been advised not to sing for six weeks. "She's been suffering really bad tonsillitis for the past few weeks," a friend revealed, adding that the doctor said "if she carried on singing without having them removed, she could badly damage her vocal cords."

+++ Source: Unknown +++
+++ Subject: Tungusk Sector – Final Report +++
+++ "It was always going to end – in hindsight, that fact is so obvious as to be sickeningly hilarious. Build your industry on the broken backs of serfs, and of course they will lift their hammers in revolt. Maintain your dominion beneath the lash of generals, bureaucrats and priests, and of course the oppressed will tear apart the tree of governance root and branch to free themselves. Dredge a sector from the savagery of Xenos and the madness of Daemons, and of course the inky black waters of the void will rise to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. We are drowning, and those grim sentinels who might have been able to deliver us are silent. We must laugh at our own blindness, lest we be forced to hear the screams of everything we have ever known as it burns." +++
Sector Governor: Currently none (formerly the Ivanova line of Czars)
Sector Capital: Mozgovia
Segmentum: Segmentum Solar
Located deep in the heart of the Imperium, scant few sectors from Holy Terra herself, the Tungusk Sector has been rotting away from the inside out for millennia. While its vast population, heavy industry and deep religious fervour has made it an indispensable cog in the Imperium's endless war machine, it was only a matter of time before the obscene gulf between its ruling elite and their billions of serf vassals brought about catastrophe. While the former schemed in an endless, internecine game of politics, the latter were kept overworked and underfed by a system of virtual slavery.
For ten thousand years, the only two forces holding the Tungusk Sector together were the Sector Governors – the Czars of House Ivanova – and the Holy Ordos of the Emperor's Inquisition. By iron fist and velvet-concealed dagger, both have warded away those who would bring about the sector's downfall: the twisted Xenos that one laid claim to the sector, the abominable Daemons that writhe beneath reality's surface, and those within the Imperium itself who would seek to ignite the millennia of resentment festering amongst its billions of citizens.
Yet even the Czars and the Inquisition could not prevent the sector's downfall forever. Two centuries ago, after almost ten thousand years of vigilance, the Inquisition fell silent across the entire Tungusk Sector. For a time, their peers across the Galaxy thought it some great crisis, but one in which it was preferable not to interfere. All that changed when the Ivanovas were slaughtered in a brazen assault upon their fortified, palatial home.
Now the Tungusk Sector is spiralling into bloodshed and anarchy. Without the Ivanovas present to enforce order in the open, and the Inquisition to do likewise in the shadows, the Imperium's various factions seek to further their own agendas whilst revolution grips the masses. And in the shadows beyond the God-Emperor's light, terrible things conspire to take advantage of Humanity's weakness.

Brexfactor: God, the guillotine and gorillas in the list
PUBLISHED: 10:36 28 April 2017 | UPDATED: 10:36 28 April 2017
PA Wire/PA Images
We pick out the worst Leavers of a week in which people came together and united behind the opportunities which lie ahead. Probably.
Become a Supporter
Almost four years after its creation The New European goes from strength to strength across print and online, offering a pro-European perspective on Brexit and reporting on the political response to the coronavirus outbreak, climate change and international politics. But we can only continue to grow with your support.
10. Graeme Souness
The permanently furious former player/manager/moustache abandoner/pundit capped a trademark rant about English teams trying to adopt a "tap-tap-tap" European style by admitting he'd voted Leave. Appearing on Irish channel TV3 during their coverage of Leicester's Champions League exit to Atletico Madrid, Souness revealed that he had been unimpressed by turning up to see Bournemouth play Swansea three weeks earlier and both teams attempting to play football rather than kick lumps out of one another.
"It was like watching a Dutch game of football," he said, like that was some sort of insult. "Lots of pretty passes but there was no fire, no one smashing into someone. There was no real anger in the game. It was about 'we'll outpass you and maybe we'll get a goal'."
Presenter Tommy Martin then quipped: "I think you voted for Brexit, Graeme. Did you?" Souness beamed and replied: "Oh, I certainly did, yeah." It's not the first time former Liverpool hero Souness has sided with the forces of the right, having outraged the club's fans in 1992 by selling the story of his heart operation to The Sun, who chose to run it on April 15 – the third anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
9. Paul Nuttall
UKIP's ex-astronaut supremo may have ditched the lucky Tweed suit which brought him so much good fortune in Stoke-on-Trent, but alas he's more reluctant to cast off his party's dog-whistle Islamophobia. And so it came to pass that he launched his party's election campaign with a promise to inspect the genitalia of vulnerable young girls at least once a year, then hid in an anteroom while his deputy argued with the press about whether beekeepers would be affected by the Kippers' proposed ban on veils. Later UKIP foreign affairs spokesman James Carver resigned over the ban, calling it "misguided", and an undaunted Nuttall marched on to Wolverhampton, where he compared himself to Gandhi. Another Titanic launch from the Dear Tweeder!
8. Richard Littlejohn
The veteran Daily Mail columnist, now phoning it in to such an extent that his byline photo should be taken in a call box, has delivered a trademark piece speculating on what might happen if the Coalition of Chaos takes power.
"Woe betide anyone who gets between Diane Abbott and the Buck House buffet table," joked the famously svelte Littlecock, casually hurling boulders around his conservatory, before delivering a lazy laundry list ("Hezbollah is invited to open an embassy in London… Corbyn unveils a statue of Martin McGuinness in Parliament Square, replacing Winston Churchill… Cars will be banned and motorways would be turned into cycle lanes") which practically screamed "will this do?"
However much of what Richard thinks is a nightmare actually sounds quite reasonable to many ears ("Trident will be scrapped… forget about an expansion of grammar schools… the railways will be renationalised") and with Labour currently struggling to get their own manifesto finished before mid-May, perhaps they could get Dick to flesh it out with a bit of "Hard Brexit? You couldn't make it up!"
7. Capitals Alan
This anonymous Brexiteer responded to news of Gina Miller's campaign to unseat pro-Article 50 MPs by firing off the VERY ANGRY and ODDLY PUNCTUATED email reproduced here. Alas, he did so to the wrong Gina Miller, who happens to be VP of media for American 'soccer' team FC Dallas and as such has already fulfilled Capitals Alan's request for her to leave the UK by dint of never having lived here in the first place. As CapitAL would no doubt say, GOD IT,S CONFUSING WHEN F-----G PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME NAME.
6. Kate Hoey
"Nasty and confrontational," was the Vauxhall MP's verdict on the Lib Dem poster showing her face morphing into that of Nigel Farage. For the record, that's far more condemnatory than anything she's ever said about the Breaking Point poster launched by her mate Nigel, despite several attempts from the local party to get her to do so.
5. Maria Miller
"They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom" is pretty decent as a rallying cry. But does it really compare to the one on Maria 'Mortgage Mishap' Miller's leaflet, spotted in Basingstoke: 'How can you help us improve area name?'
Someone in the former culture secretary's camp forgot to change generic descriptions in their campaign literature, leaving her passionate commitment to LOCAL CAMPAIGN ISSUE TO GO HERE looking just a tad insincere.
4. Paul Golding
His namesake William wrote Lord Of The Flies, but Lord Of The Lies seemed more appropriate when Britain First's loveable leader shared a video of what he described as "a crowd of 'moderate Muslims' celebrating the Paris terror attacks in London". This was quickly and easily revealed to be footage of some young British Pakistanis cheering a cricket victory.
Then, on St George's Day, he branded the right-wing Daily Express "fake news" for "claiming St George was born in Turkey. Turkey didn't exist until 600 years AFTER Saint George lived!"
Staggering stuff, and while we leave it to Paul to Google 'Cappadocia', let's content ourselves with the fact that Golding's Twitter bio describes him as a "Conservative with a small 'c'". All together now for the punchline: "He's certainly SOMETHING with a small c".
3. YO Cedar
The Unbearable Lightness of Being. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Arresting book titles, to be sure, but can any of them be said to be as truly startling as that of Cedar's new work, God's Hand in Brexit: A Prayer Guide?
Like both God and Brexit, the book moves in mysterious ways. "As a field sales executive I'm accustomed to spending a lot of time in my car, driving from one meeting to the next," begins one chapter. Shortly thereafter Cedar is protesting the erection of the Temple of Baal in Trafalgar Square, which I must have missed on the 9 o'clock news.
The author assures us that the big man upstairs is "faithfully working behind the scenes as we fervently pray that our nation will turn in its God-given direction, outside of the EU, once again embracing its Judeo-Christian morals and heritage." Once we've embraced this, Cedar assures us, "care homes would no longer be needed… there would be less strain on the National Health Service as believers lay hands on the sick."
It all sounds too miraculous to be true, but as Saint George once told us, "I gotta have faith, faith, faith."
2. Nigel Farage
"We now have a US President who wants to put us at the front of the queue. It's a huge opportunity for our country," Tweeted credulous man-frog Farage on November 27 before high-tailing it to New York for his gold lift photo-op.
One wonders then how Nigel reacted to this week's headlines reading 'Trump puts EU ahead of Britain in trade queue', with "officials in Washington" confirming walking impeachment case Donald's priorities are somewhat different to first billed.
1. Gisela Allen
The 84-year-old Glasgow council candidate burst upon the political scene by declaring both her attraction to gorillas and her belief in the introduction of capital punishment by guillotine.
Other things Allen likes are castration and euthanasia (though thankfully not the latter by the former); stuff she doesn't like includes free bus passes, nurseries, sex education classes and LGBT communities.
She told the Sunday Herald: "I am not anti-gay – but how can you call that a community? Sex life is everybody's private affair. You do not come out and declare openly. Do you think I am going all over the city and saying my idea of a sexually-attractive creature is a gorilla? When I go to a zoo and I see a gorilla my hormones go absolutely crazy. I find a gorilla very attractive."
Common sense policies for a common sense Britain, and if Gisela continues in this vein, how long before she becomes UKIP leader?

Well, Holy Week is upon us. This week is one of the 2 weeks (also Christmas) when nearly every Christian will find themselves inside of a Church at least once. We spend this week thinking about Jesus' last days leading up to His execution, and eventually, His resurrection. In that way, it's a very unifying time. It is also humbling and beautiful to see just how diverse the Body of Christ is as we interpret the story being told to us in so many (often drastically different) ways.
This year I am thinking about my tendency to "over-spiritualize" the story of Jesus. Sometimes it is humbling and deeply enlightening to remember that Jesus was a very real person, living within a very real political atmosphere, pissing off very real religious and political powers.
I realized that I hadn't really thought much about what Jesus' followers must have felt when He told them He was going to die. It actually makes sense that Peter would rebuke that very notion whenever it was presented to him. Jesus, I suspect, was actually a huge disappointment to most of the Jewish community that followed Him. They had dreams of everything that was wrong finally being made right! They had dreams of Jesus leading them into a time of prosperity and power reminiscent of the legends they had been told regarding their rich history. They had placed Jesus at the heart of this revolution…and then His Grand Finale was getting Himself killed–and not killed as a valiant soldier in the heat of an epic battle, but as a shame ridden criminal void of anything that slightly resembled power and even dignity.
That must have been truly disorienting for those who followed Jesus. Imagine if you were convinced that a presidential candidate was the only hope for the future of our country. Imagine that they rallied all sorts of support and got everyone pumped about their "plan". Then imagine that, at the end of the election, they revealed their plan was to let the other candidate win. Somehow this move was part of the beautiful story being told by this person, but to those who supported them, gave up time and money for them, it would feel like a betrayal and a shameful defeat. They would probably think, "Well, that was a waste of time". They would probably be deeply grieved that they believed in this person so much only to see them willingly give it all away. Of course, this example shies in comparison to the reality of what Jesus' followers must have felt.
Somehow, the act of letting the opposing power "win" in such a dramatic way was a deep, painful and beautiful part of the message Jesus was trying desperately to get His followers to understand. It was a message that spoke peace in the face of power. It promoted togetherness and love as opposed to ruthless 'ladder climbing' and competition. It exalted the least, last, and lost–and it seemed to make a bit more sense to the women around Jesus than to the men. It seems that the women who followed Jesus never left His side, regardless of the danger. Perhaps the men (except for John) were still too disoriented by this extremely counter-productive move to be present. Instead they were trying to figure out where to go from here since their leader has apparently led them to defeat.
I wonder if the disorientation of the Disciples would be very different from our own disorientation if Jesus were to stand before us and teach us the same message in our own context. I wonder if we, just as the Disciples, are too wrapped up in the belief that God is coming in power and might to destroy our enemies and lead us into prosperity. I wonder if we would also deeply grieve Jesus' actions if we were to see Him willingly be defeated, in such a public way, by the very powers we saw as the enemy.
It seems that the disorientation of the crucifixion and resurrection transformed the Disciples. It seems that the message that Jesus worked so hard to teach them finally started to sink in. I wonder what assumptions about God are keeping me from truly getting this message of radical (and ridiculous) love. I wonder what disorientation I need to experience in order to allow a little more of that message to sink in and transform the way I see. This Holy Week I am reflecting on the very human reality of Jesus' willing execution and all the radical confrontations and acts of scandal that led to it. Perhaps in allowing myself to be placed in the shoes of those following Him I will experience some of the transformation that changed everything.

Confidential Disclosure Agreements and Indemnities
The first question to ask is whose information is being disclosed? A Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA) or Confidential Disclosure Agreement (CDA) could be for disclosures between the supplier and the customer,.It could also cover the disclosure of a third party's confidential information that the supplier is authorized to further disclose. To disclose another party's information the CDA or NDA needs to allow you to share that confidential information. If it doesn't you have no right to share that information even if you were to disclose it under a CDA or NDA. If the party allows further disclosures, it will require that you have an CDA with that Customer that protects the third party's rights in their confidential information.
For information between the customer and the supplier there would be no indemnity used.Indemnities only apply to third party claims. A breach of the CDA or NDA would result in damages that are allowed in the CDA. For third party confidential information that the supplier has that they want to share with the customer,you would include an indemnification in the CDA or NDA with the customer. You want the customer to indemnify you if they breach the CDA from claims by the third party that the breach by thee customer will also be a breach of your agreement with the third party.
One suggestion is to always keep confidentiality obligations separate from any purchase agreement so that the limitation of liability and the damages can be different and so the term of the responsibility to protect the information can be different.The key in establishing limitations of liability is what types of losses will you sustain from the breach and what is reasonable. While in a purchase agreement limiting certain breaches to only direct damages may be reasonable, most of the time you don't want to limit liability based upon third party claims as you can't control what those third party claims may be.For a breach of confidentiality obligation the question would be what types of damages would be claimed. Any direct damages would be very small. The major damages that would be claimed would be loss of revenue, loss of profit and any consequential damages such as costs to stop any infringements or actions to enjoin the use of or further disclosure of the information. In confidentiality agreements you don't want to limit liability for breach of the obligations. You want the information held and protected in a manner where there will not be a disclosure.
With third party information there are multiple options to manage it. You could have a separate agreement with the customer and have the indemnification included in that CDA or NDA. You could have a three way agreement, Lastly you could have a separate CDA or NDA be created between the customer and the third party. Each approach has its own benefits and risks,The separate agreement with the indemnification approach may have the advantage of not having to involve the third party in the discussion or negotiations. When you do a CDA with an indemnity you are still liable to the third party. The customer would has to indemnify you. If they don't or don't have the assets to cover the damages, you would still be liable to the third party. A three-way agreement works provided that the agreement is clear that there is no joint liability and each party is severally liable for their own breaches. That way if the customer breached the CDA or NDA the third party would need to proceed only against the customer and the supplier would not be liable for the customer's breach. Establishing a separate CDA or NDA between the customer and the third party eliminates the supplier as a party to that transaction. Since they are not a party they would not be liable and they would not need an indemnity as the third party would need to go directly after the customer.
There may be times where you may not want to involve the third party because of the sensitive nature of the discussions between the supplier and the customer. In those cases you want no limits on liability, the indemnity, and you want to make sure that the customer has the assets and resources to stand behind that indemnity. For all other situations I would suggest avoiding the indemnity approach and have a separate agreement between the discloser and the third party.
Indemnities don't absolve you of liability and they are only as good as the company that is making the indemnity commitment,

As is the case with most NDA / CAs driven down from the buyer to the supplier, surely an injunction clause would be more appropriate in place of any indemnities?ReplyDelete
Dear Anonymous. I've never seen an "injunction clause" used in a NDA or CDA. The reason for that is CDA's or NDA's traditionally do not have any limitation as to either the types of damages or remedies that are available in the event of a breach, This means that you don't need to include an "injunction clause' in the CDA as under equity principles you have the right to injunctive relief. I also do not agree that an injunction clause would be better than an indemnity in this instance. All an injunction does is stop further use. It does not protect you against the damages the third party could claim for the breach that were sustained prior to the injunction. The indemnification would require the breaching customer to both defend against the claim, and pay any damages awarded. Not having the indemnity would require the supplier in this instance to both defend against the claim from third party, pay third party any damages awarded and then they would need sue the customer to collect all those costs. If you read the full post you would see that I don't recommend using indemnities in CDA's except in very limited situations.ReplyDelete
For more about injunction clauses See the December 5, post Injunction Clause. In that I make it clear that even if you have an injunction clause in an agreement, the court may not order it.ReplyDelete

The goal of Personalized Pathways is to prepare our students to enter high school ready to succeed. Participating schools will be supported to redesign middle grades (6th-8th) to integrate technology and support an increasingly student-centered approach to learning. Empowering adolescents to take charge of their learning is at the heart of this strategy. Students participating in Personalized Pathways will set goals for both academic and non-academic skills and will help design their own approach to reaching these goals through in-school and out-of-school activities. Teachers will receive intensive professional development and ongoing support from external experts and the CPS Office of Instruction to build their capacity to use a variety of instructional approaches (emphasizing literacy and language), facilitate personalized learning, and support goal-setting and progress based on student needs and interests.
CPS will use the Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE) as a tool for viewing data, enveloping personalized learning maps, and connecting teachers and students to resources aligned to their interests and needs. To break down barriers to student learning, schools will also have access to a package of social-emotional, behavioral, and family service supports tailored to their needs. This initiative, which will reach 150 CPS elementary/middle schools, will support the communication of effective practices to scale up across the district.

Prenatal Yoga
At a time when you may feel tired, moody, nauseous and out of control, a regular prenatal class can give you the energy to enjoy your pregnancy, the serenity to build a deeper intimacy with your own body and spirit and also the presence of mind to expect the unexpected and be fully present for the miracle of birth.
Prenatal yoga can also prepare the body for the journey ahead. Would you run a marathon without training first? The same can be said for pregnancy. It is important not only to ready the body for changes that may occur during pregnancy, but prepare for labour, birth and postnatal recovery.
Prenatal yoga will help to strengthen muscles and improve endurance for labour, open the hips and pelvic area for birth and provide greater control of the pelvic floor muscles, which is essential for both birth and postnatal recovery. In addition to these physical benefits, greater awareness and control of the breath is invaluable during the process of labour. Not only will this help you to cope with painful contractions, but the affect emotionally will allow you to be more relaxed.
The more relaxed you can be, the more your muscles are able to let go and the faster the process can occur, allowing for a more satisfying experience.
The added bonus of a prenatal group class is knowing that you are not alone. Sharing stories and asking questions in a comfortable and warm environment is all about the learning process.

I know that houses in dreams represent your life as a whole. I dream about houses a LOT, and there are particular dream houses I return to often. I can ferret out some meanings – for instance, I no longer dream about my grandfather's house, but I used to find all kinds of little secret rooms and stairways, and often the stairs went up to higher floors that were dangerous and falling apart. That was when I was struggling a lot with panic disorder and worried about going crazy.
Lately I find it curious that the houses in my dreams are nothing like what I would pick in real life to live in, yet I am usually thrilled with them. Last night's house toggled between being a house and a condo, but it was in a planned community with a clubhouse and lots of neighbors being very sociable. It was new, one story, with a porch all around and full of light. Everything was the color of sunshine, and the yard had lots of garden beds which were going to require some work because the soil was sandy, a lot like down east.
But there were troubling parts – the house had lots and lots of outside doors, and I was trying to keep out an old boyfriend who stalked me earlier in my life, and in a very stupid moment I had given him a key. So I spent a lot of time running around, locking and unlocking doors, worrying about how to keep him out and how to let in my new boyfriend and the neighbors who I wanted to be friends with.
That says a whole lot about where I'm at these days.
Do you dream about houses? Can you share one?

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Ecuador's bonds rebounded Wednesday, after taking a beating in the previous session when investors were spooked by the resignation of the finance minister and the government's decision to seize two TV stations and nearly 200 other companies.
Spreads tightened by 11 basis points for Ecuadorian bonds based on the EMBI plus index, said Nick Chamie, head of emerging markets research at RBC Capital Markets.
The rebound "was on the back of comments from the new finance minister that they will continue to pay their debt," Chamie said. "It sparked a little bit of short covering."
On Tuesday, Ecuadorian debt was battered, with spreads widening by more than 53 basis points.
Credit spreads represent the difference between the yields of risk-free government bonds and that of riskier bonds. Yields rise when bond prices fall, and a wider spread means that yields on riskier debt rose sharply while those of safe government bonds fell.
Tuesday's sell-off was sparked by fears that Ecuador might default on its debt after Finance Minister Fausto Ortiz resigned unexpectedly and was replaced by Wilma Salgado, the former head of Ecuador's Deposit Guarantee Agency.
"They've [Ecuador] claimed that they believe there is illegitimate debt out there and they will be rectifying the situation," Chamie said.
"Given their tight links with [Venezuelan President Hugo] Chavez and this talk they've made publicly about identifying illegitimate foreign debt, at some point it [debt default] becomes a possibility."
Salgado, the new finance minister, said Tuesday that Ecuador will continue to meet its debt obligations, Dow Jones Newswires reported. She also said that any change in government policy on debt will come only after a commission investigating Ecuador's debt payments delivers its findings, according to the report.
Ortiz, who was considered one of the more market friendly members of President Rafael Correa's cabinet, quit in protest over the government's decision to seize various assets, including two television stations, of the Isaias Group.
The government claims that the group owes the state over $650 million following the bankruptcy in the late 1990s of Filanbanco, once one of the country's leading banks, which was owned by Isaias Group.
"The seizure of Isaias Group assets will be viewed positively by depositors who lost money in the banking collapse," wrote Neil Dougall, research analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort, in a research note.
"But above all, the move is clearly designed to boost popular support for President Correa ahead of the key referendum on a new constitution later this year," he said.
Debt default unlikely: analysts
President Correa, a left-leaning politician who has promised a social revolution to help the poor, is seeking to rewrite Ecuador's constitution. After becoming president in January 2007, Correa made clear his intention to restructure Ecuador's debt, because he considers portions of it to be illegitimate and too big relative to the country's social needs.
Ortiz's resignation is negative for bonds, because he has always opposed debt restructuring, and his leaving could add volatility to fiscal and economic policy, Pablo Goldberg and Alejandro Rivera, analysts at Merrill Lynch, wrote in a research note.
"This is bad for Ecuadorian debt, as Ortiz had surpassed many of his predecessors in tenure, establishing policy consistency while committing to fiscal discipline and debt payment," they said. "The new finance minister will likely be less influential on the policy front, yielding to decisions made by Correa."
However, the Merrill Lynch analysts said that Tuesday's sell-off in Ecuadorian debt was "exaggerated" and they are still positive on the outlook for the country's bonds for several reasons.
Among them is the fact that the ultimate decision on debt matters has always resided with Correa, who has stated that he is aware of the complications of debt defaulting.
In addition, oil prices remain at very high levels boosting Ecuador's foreign assets. One of Latin America's largest crude oil exporters, Ecuador has an economy dominated by the oil sector.
Dougall of Dresdner Kleinwort agreed that Ecuador is unlikely to take any aggressive action regarding its debt payments, in part because it currently has ample funds to pay its debts. Correa has been "quite pragmatic" despite his hostile rhetoric towards external creditors earlier in his term, Dougall said.
"His shift to a more pragmatic stance partly reflects the advice that he received from abroad, particularly from Argentina, that a debt default could cause much more damage to Ecuador's interests than any gains from a lower debt service burden," he said. "This principle still holds."

Theatre and Postcolonial Desires
I venture to suggest that it is this shifting conception of identity that carries the greatest promise for realizing what I call "postcolonial desire"- the act of imagining, living and negotiating a social reality based on democracy, cultural pluralism and social justice. It represents a counterpoint to Robert Young's interpretation of "Colonial Desire". If "colonial desire" consisted in the drive of epistemologies an representational conventions within European or neo-colonial modernity to seek out and dominate its "Other", "postcolonial desire" signifies an act of refusal to assume the pasive, static, essentialist identity of that "Other". Rather, it draws upon the resources of non-formal citizenship to fuel a perpetual act of becoming (Amkpa, 2004: 10).

This post is sponsored by Speedo. Thank you so much for supporting the brands that I truly love!
Summer has arrived and what better way to celebrate than talking about our favorite family beach and pool essentials?! Now that our oldest has overcome her fear of the water (keep reading for more on that), it's been so fun to hang out at the beach and our friend's pool more often! She is able to go in by herself and has allowed our 2 year old to gain confidence in the water alone as well! I have yet to test the waters at the beach with all three by myself but I plan on doing it soon so I will put together another post once I do that with any tips I come up with. Although, I have to say that it's probably going to be a crap shoot 😉 There are a few items that I have found along the way that have saved our sanity so I decided to put them all together in today's post, I hope you find them helpful to you! Feel free to comment below with your must haves as well!
You can scoop up my swimsuit here on sale!
Family Beach & Pool Essentials
Speedo Swimsuits // When I tell you that these swimsuits featured in today's post are amazing, I am NOT lying to ya! The second I put on both of these swimsuits, I instantly fell in love with the design, the comfort and the easy access for nursing (especially the zip front suit)! I also love the children's suit with the zip front because it makes going to the bathroom SO much easier for her. You know how ridiculously crazy it is to peel a wet suit off your body just to go to the bathroom, right? This makes it so much easier! Their suits also have a UPF of 50+! Speedo also offers this amazing "Learn to Swim" suit that is perfect for our 2 year old and it's even approved by the coast guard. I actually used to wear Speedo all the time when I was a competitive swimmer (something you might not know about me!) and cannot believe how far they have come with their designs! These two suits are adorable on and the perfect swimsuit for any mom who wants to get in the water with their little ones!
Swim Bar // This was actually suggested by the swim trainer that we used for both girls! It's a great way for kids to learn how to swim on their own and allows them to learn to kick easily! Our oldest daughter loves it!
Beach Tent // I have spent many hours at the beach struggling with previous beach tents and this one is by far the easiest and LIGHTEST! Only 2.5 lbs and easy up and down. It's the only option for a mama struggling at the beach with all her kiddos!
Pop Up Activity Center // This is GREAT for the beach to entertain the little ones (4+ months – 1 year or so), it allows you to be hands free with your other kids and it's also amazing to bring to other places besides the beach. It's very compact and folds nicely. One of you actually suggested it to me awhile back and it's awesome!
Sunscreen // You all know that I swear by Beautycounter's spray sunscreen. I have been using it on my kids daily and it's awesome for protection and goes on so easy. I love that it sprays on white so you can see everywhere you apply it and it's easy to rub in too! My 4 year old can easily put it all on herself!
Goggles // One of the reasons why some kids can be afraid of the water is because they hate when the water goes in their eyes! Get a fun pair of goggles like these from Speedo and they'll love putting them on! Our kids even love wearing them around the house! Ha!
Striped One Piece Suit Available HERE on sale!
Up until last summer, our oldest daughter was terrified of the water. We brought her to swim lessons until she was 2 but then there was a gap of about a year where she didn't do much swimming and I think it was the lessened exposure that did it. Thank goodness for our friends down the street who have an amazing underground pool and our daughter LIVED in the pool last summer. All we did was let her go in at her own pace and eventually she yearned to keep up with her friends that were swimming all around her! She is now able to go in without a float and she usually uses this since she is not quite 100% independent yet!
Rolling Cart // The easiest way to get all that STUFF from the car to your spot on the beach! Thankfully we do not have a far walk from the parking lot to the beach in our town but it's still a struggle with all the kids in tow! This cart is what I also bring along for all my flea market/antique fair shopping!
Let me know if you have any must haves for the beach or pool below!

By John Sage
So what still stops you? There are lots of reasons for hesitating,some them sensible,such as seeking more expertise or understanding,yet primarily they are not rational reasons yet rather such a basic sense of not understanding. That's not understanding just how to continue,not understanding what we occur afterwards,not understanding suppose your decisions will become great or poor.
Let's consider the ten most common barricades that hold you back as well as just how to deal with them.
Comply With John Sage for much more experienced home financial investment advice.
No experience
No experience is possibly one of the most common at this stage of financial investment engagement. Every person must at the very least start with no experience.
Your goal at this stage is to get in the video game.
You will never gather the experience to progress up until you start. In lots of means,among your prime goals when you first start to invest,is not simply to ideally make a lucrative financial investment,yet to gather the experience of investing.
If you start making a inadequate financial investment,at the very least you will after that have that as a useful experience to help you evaluate future the advantages of future financial investments. From this viewpoint,no financial investment is either great or poor in absolute terms,it is all part of your long-term knowing experiences.Which actually brings about an additional essential issue.
When you go into an financial investments,of course expect the most effective,yet expect the most awful. Prepare for your financial investment to be a failure as well as plan what remedial action you will take if this ends up being right.
When you go into an financial investment you should always compute what is the most awful that can occur with this financial investment? Prepare for that to ensure that you will be ready if the most awful takes place,and then every little thing else over that is mosting likely to be a much better experience that you prepared for.

Ida Ekblad at Herald St.
Artist: Ida Ekblad
Venue: Herald St., London
Exhibition Title: A day of toil among its ruins and A gentle looking little alien of sorts
Date: October 11 – November 16, 2014
Full gallery of images, press release and link available after the jump.

Press Release:
Two strands, even epigenetic codes, as these strands seem to stem, perpetuate and emanate from complex, molecular regions of creative life: the emergence of a certain phantasmagorical creature, a gentle looking little alien of sorts that seems blown and air-brushed into a puffy life-form, quantum-mechanically assembled through various un-identifiable archival figures, from cartoons and graffiti to sports stars, mascots, children's books, the hang time of a certain number 23, and a seemingly endless flow of distinct and indistinct viral shapes. The inversions and implosions of the by now more familiar shopping trolley tracks, whited out containers of both poetic creation and erasure. They all bear witness to both a mindful registering and an automated absorption of contemporary materiality and life.
The core of the question remains, as often is the case with questions—there is always something left uncharted, as from elsewhere, yet always there, inside, and intrinsic to, whatever attempts at responses or evasions of responses one is given, presented, or depraved of. But let us suppose that Ida Ekblad's new sets of paintings are not responses but rather some kind of open-ended affirmations of both what remains to be asked about and what remains to be answered for, and then coursed through whatever painting, in Ekblad's singular practice (or even as a general topos) has come to signify, embody, and emboss today. This also carries with it a singular truth, or a specific production of truth, truth as a poetic event of sorts, as it still founds, at the blank bottom of untreated linen, untreated cotton, what has become known as the "track paintings." It is as if the poetic, fully thrown, constitutes somewhat automated (by whom, from where, and by what parameters) tracings of the indiscernible.
This could mean that certain twists and contours, contortions and extortions, of this enterprise trace the ever so pressing questions about where these forms, figures shapes, colours, fields, pat- terns, and life-forms actually—or potentially—come from. This could be a way to start to phrase an answer: these questions materialize as inner pulsions their own becoming traces, courses, tracks, and imprinted fulgurations. A pushing for immanence. Put differently, and by way of something that relates to the muted knocks and beats of today's opaque matter of information-becoming: these so called push notifications that somehow manage to push through and into our devices even if these are not actively connected, switched on, or plugged into the network. The uncanny sensation that something alerts us about something not yet made actually accessible. The dormant has its curious hypnogogic life and logic of its own
and it reverses translation as translation now takes place before the very expression itself awakens. The emergence of this gentle looking little alien of sorts may very well be a function of a combinatory maddened running-wild in the studio and some kind of tactile euphoria of memory. And this would be a pre-empted, euphoric remembering as the puffy ink carries with it material recollections of an arcane universe of t-shirts, dance, skateboarding, music, varsity lettering, sportswear, the bright and the synthetic, the soothing and the organic, and is carried out with nothing less than a heat gun—as if the change in the matter of figuration encompasses and exhausts pure atoms, movement, dissolving, resistance to dissolving, plasticity: marshmallowy melting. The puff of the puffyfied ink is our waiting and the duration of our memory, not crystallized but plasticized for a whole that keeps on changing. If this is the madness of the creative evolution in the artist's studio one should pray to have the courage to propose the following: the in-organic depth of the puff, the puff of the puffyfied (a neologism is definitely in order here as "puffed up" has way too unfortunate connotations and simultaneously betrays the actual materiality at work here) little alien of sorts embodies and puts to life a something of a post-digital—or non-indexical— memory of motion (and emotion)?
This is different from the fireworks of so called process painting, it is rather a work of fire that ruminates its own extreme lightness, transparency, beauty, and world-positing affectivity. If there is an ethics to be glimpsed within the rapidly expanding oeuvre of Ekblad it would have to include an emphatic refusal to turn away from whatever surges up as the beautiful and the abstract horror that goes with it. Not beauty as a category or normative conception, but as pure, afflicted intensity. And in extension the push course for this immersive intensity. It is not without significance that the artist chose the ethically charged title "A Day of Toil Among its Ruins" that opens and unleashes, with the incisive poetics of suffering (Hölderlin's worship of the sun comes to mind), the madness of the day upon a world, the World, and the Weight of the World. This gentle looking little solar embrace of goodness becomes a spiritual automaton of sorts, a (post-)digital One, in a world of both creation and emanation.
These paintings, and that would be both those of the track and those of the puff, powerslides with a certain ease and lightness, a shimmering vibrancy in-between creation and emanation, with a mnemonic vibrancy that, to the push-notified mind and eye resemble a veritable dance-in-becoming, a dance of becoming, a becoming of dance… But bear in that same mind: they are nevertheless and all the same emergent manifestations of a careful and rigorous epigenomics. The artist herself reveals that the use of heat guns, airbrush, puffy ink, and the emergence of shapes and lines that reverberates the visuals and hieroglyphics of graffiti could never have come into being with-out her relentlessly working through different viscosities, difficulties, and substances necessary to unravel and explicate imprints, visual and emotive genomes, that have been there all along. Somewhere. Immanent questions of hyper-specific form and substance. What was in question, and in the question, even before the question could possibly have been articulated, the translation that takes place as it pushes to notify. This puffed, marshmallowy, duration, and in-discerned tracing of the question, is implied in its dark "arcana" (Leibniz), a dark arcana so wondrously full of colour.

Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. Reports Strong Holiday Sales, Raises Full Year Outlook, and Pays Off Remaining Term Loan Balance
Based on the trends to date, the Company currently estimates the following results for the fiscal year ending
- Total net sales of approximately
$1.245 billion;
- Comparable store sales growth of approximately 4.4%;
- Adjusted net income per diluted share(1) of approximately
$1.81, excluding the after-tax loss on extinguishment of debt and excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation; and
- Weighted diluted average shares outstanding of approximately 66.0 million.
- Adjusted net income per diluted share is not a measure recognized under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
These revised estimates update the guidance provided by the Company on
The Company plans to report actual results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending
The Company also announced that it will be presenting at the 2019
The audio portion of the presentation will be webcast live at http://investors.ollies.us and a replay of the presentation will also be contained on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included adjusted net income per diluted share, a non-GAAP measure, in this press release as this is a key measure used by our management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions. Management believes it is useful to investors and analysts to evaluate this non-GAAP measure on the same basis as management uses to evaluate the Company's operating results. We believe that excluding items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude from net income and net income per diluted share, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.
Adjusted net income per diluted share gives effect to the after-tax loss on extinguishment of debt and excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, which may not occur with the same frequency or magnitude in future periods.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.
