How can I do this?
How can I do this?
Good question Craner;
depending on one's basic health - one can get out and move that body,
take regular walks and se what happens.
Take up an easy form of Tai Chi- the people you see moving slowly early morning in the park,
gets the blood and the "chi' moving.
'Finding' Tai Chi some years ago was a revelation;
after doing the simple moves a few times and 'getting into it' a bit,
one can definitely feel the energy move in your body, some 'life' in there
something you may be missing I am guessing ?
See if you get anything from trying this kind of thing,
then meditating - tho' not strictly about 'energy level'-
is another part of the body -mind' package and something to go onto along with weekly simple Tai Chi type movements and exercise .
Once you feel or see some benefit, you can get hooked on doing it !
Go easy Mr. C
diet, physical exercise, enough sleep & at regular times, stop smoking (if you do), stop drinking/taking drugs (if you do any of those) or at least cut down, same goes for coffee. of those in terms of increasing physical energy I would say the most important is diet - which I guess you could extend out to include alcohol etc - which is crucial. I'll refrain from making specific dietary suggestions unless you're interested.
I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but having more energy is one of those things where there's kinda no shortcuts.
At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, it's surprisingly easy not to get enough sleep. And some people seem to need more than others to function well during the day.
As far as food goes, bananas are generally reckoned to be a very good energy source. Make sure you're getting enough vitamins, especially B vitamins, because you need these to metabolise whatever calories you're eating.

You're a kind of feedbaack system and doing stuff creates the energy/buzz to do more - that's providing you're not burning out and running on empty. I'd say being excited about new projects and new experiences is also part of this, so if you have the time and inclination, join a class or take a trip somewhere. Anything to kickstart the stimulation.
Body & brain , Padraig gets it right -
first get the body together through better diet, good sleep, less poison(s) and stress relief -
then the brain will follow.
Moderation, some balance and as Darryl points out- begin a system of feedback that can give some
light at end of tunnel / goal(s) / results once you see or feel a result that you like !
Probably better to be hooked on something positive then not so positive habits ...
Thank you, all.
I did try Tai Chi once, but I couldn't get to grips with it. I was in a class with some British Tai Chi champion (this is, like, 15 years ago) and I was so bad, he'd spend the a lot of the session staring at me in disgust. One evening I went to a local fair instead of class and that was it really; never went back.
I do exercise: I swim, surf occasionally, walk and cycle most places. I went to a doctor recently and -- despite 7 years of constant abuse -- I am physically intact (apart from having a slightly high red blood cell count, 'though I don't know what this means; it certainly doesn't mean I should be tired all of the time).
I go to bed between 12-1am and get up about 8.30-9am -- that probably isn't ideal.
I've stopped smoking (almost, mostly) and drinking (regularly, or every night) and I don't take any drugs; I don't drink much coffee but I drink a lot more water than before and in a consistent fashion. This ought to help, right? What should I eat and when?
I start the day bright and perky but I'm failing by lunchtime, and then I'm tired after lunch too and it makes it hard to think, to concentrate: perpetual low-level fatigue, with no hangover or thyroid to blame it on.
Actually, this is probably the essential problem.I'd say being excited about new projects and new experiences is also part of this, so if you have the time and inclination, join a class or take a trip somewhere. Anything to kickstart the stimulation.
I could be talking out of my arse here but if you've quite recently cut down on booze and fags in a big way, it might just be that your metabolism is taking a while to adjust. A mild but lengthy withdrawal process, in other words. Where's nomad when you need her?

I'm sure it will eventually, but you might feel shitty while your body gets used to it. Nicotine and alcohol are both physically addictive, after all.

Welcome to glamping, the "glamorous camping" trend that's on the rise and on display at the Boston RV & Camping Expo at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center that concludes today (Jan. 21).
"In the past, the whole notion of glamping was in the high-end units. We now see them in every type of RV," said Bob Zagami, show director for the New England RV Dealers Association (RVDA).
The Boston Herald reported that approximately 300 RVs, from fifth-wheels and motorhomes to park trailers and pop-ups, are on the BCEC floor. Some, such as the Fleetwood Discovery motorhome, come equipped with one and one-half baths, washer and dryer hookups, and polished tile floors for $220,000. And it's only the entry-level model for the brand.
For a little more than $50,000, 400-square-foot park trailers come with a master bedroom and loft, and room for a big screen TV.
"You can now take the comforts of home with you. You are not giving up anything," said Zagami, a dedicated RV user. "Having those amenities brings more people into the campground."
These amenities are similar to those you'd find in an upscale apartment, such as stainless steel appliances, computer nooks and legroom-friendly bathrooms with double sinks, brushed nickel faucets and full-size showers.
Then there's the toy haulers, which feature an on-board garage to store recreational vehicles such as ATVs and doubles as a common area with table. Planning for a crowd to visit? It's got two full-size refrigerators.
In terms of style, "the RV industry is a year or two behind homes," said Zagami.

EPA Announces First 2011 Great Lakes Restoration Investments with $4.5 MILLION IN OHIO (OH)
For Immediate
No. 11-OPA066
(Washington, D.C. – August 8, 2011) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today awarded organizations, agencies and universities working in Ohio $4,508,572 in grants under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The 11 grants are the first of 70 totaling nearly $30 million that EPA is awarding under the GLRI in 2011.
"These grants are an investment in accelerating Great Lakes restoration, community by community," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, who also serves as chair of the Great Lakes Interagency Task Force of federal agencies implementing the GLRI. "This is another important step toward lasting protections for the waters that affect the health and jobs of millions of Americans."
The grants were announced by EPA Senior Advisor to the Administrator Cameron Davis and U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur at the University of Toledo's Lake Erie Center. EPA will announce additional investments across the Great Lakes basin in the weeks ahead.
"A healthy Lake Erie is essential to our economic future. Wetlands restoration projects in the fragile Western Basin mean better drinking water, better fishing and better recreational opportunities," said Rep. Kaptur.
Funded projects will advance the goals and objectives of the GLRI Action Plan, which EPA Administrator Jackson released in cooperation with 15 other participating agencies and several Great Lakes governors in February 2010.
The funded projects include:
· $1,348,595, University of Toledo (Maumee River Area of Concern—Wolf Creek passive treatment wetland).
· $498,612, Wayne State University (Toledo Harbor invasive species early warning system pilot project).
· $242,837, Ohio Environmental Council (Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan public engagement).
· $331,669, The Nature Conservancy (Phragmites control on western Lake Erie shoreline).
· $151,000, Delta Institute (Cleveland and Toledo e-waste reduction).
· $425,160, Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority (Cuyahoga River Area of Concern debris management system).
· $369,472, Cleveland Metroparks (Invasive plant control in Cuyahoga River Basin).
· $294,693, Cleveland Metroparks (West Creek ecosystem restoration).
· $546,417, Ohio EPA (Lake Erie nutrient reduction).
· $177,688, Ohio EPA (Fish deformity analysis).
· $122,429, Ohio EPA (Ohio Lake Erie Phosphorus Task Force).
The Great Lakes provide 30 million Americans with drinking water and underpin a multi-billion dollar economy. In February 2009, President Obama proposed the GLRI, the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades.
The Action Plan, which covers FY 2010 through 2014, was developed by a task force of 16 federal departments and agencies to implement the president's historic initiative. It calls for aggressive efforts to address five urgent priority "Focus Areas":
· Cleaning up toxics and toxic hot spot areas of concern.
· Combating invasive species.
· Promoting near-shore health by protecting watersheds from polluted run-off.
· Restoring wetlands and other habitats.
· Tracking progress, education and working with strategic partners.
The plan also provides accountability by including measures of progress and benchmarks for success over the next three years.
The Great Lakes Interagency Task Force to coordinate federal and binational restoration efforts includes:
· White House Council on Environmental Quality
· U.S. Department of Agriculture
· U.S. Department of Commerce
· U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
· U.S. Department of Homeland Security
· U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
· U.S. Department of State
· U.S. Department of the Army
· U.S. Department of Interior
· U.S. Department of Transportation
· U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Some of the other federal agencies that are part of the task force have their own grant programs under the GLRI. Today's announcement only covers EPA's grant program.
FY 2011 awards will be published on the multi-agency website at www.glri.us.
More information on the president's GLRI and Action Plan are available at the same site.

NEW YORK, April 24 (UPI) -- Mark Ellis hit two home runs Tuesday in carrying the Los Angeles Dodgers past the New York Mets 7-2.
Ellis went 4-for-5 with four RBI, including a three-run home run in the seventh inning that broke a 2-2 tie and set the Dodgers up for their second consecutive victory.
A.J. Ellis drove in a pair of runs for the Dodgers in support of Ronald Belisario (1-2), who picked up the win in relief of starter Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw gave up two runs in five innings.
Daniel Murphy had two of New York's four hits and drove in a run.
Brandon Lyon (1-1) took the loss after allowing Ellis' home run in the seventh.

Allardyce taking care of players
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is easing his players back to match fitness in an attempt to avoid picking up any early-season injury concerns.
With only two Barclays Premier League games played so far, Allardyce is already missing captain Kevin Nolan and club-record signing Andy Carroll with shoulder and ankle injuries, respectively.
Defenders James Collins and Arsenal loanee Carl Jenkinson are both absent with hamstring problems while Matt Jarvis is missing and new signing Diafra Sakho - who opened his account for the Hammers in their Capital One Cup second-round defeat to Sheffield United - is struggling with tightness in his back.
All of that means Allardyce is low on numbers as he looks to add to the 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace last weekend when he welcomes Southampton to Upton Park on Saturday.
West Ham suffered a chronic injury situation over the turn of the year as the club became embroiled in a battle to escape the Barclays Premier League bottom three.
Expectations among the club's supporters and owners is that Allardyce replicates the top-half finish of two years ago, but the manager is already having to be tentative with his players.
"Our training is very limited at the moment," he said.
"We're nursing the lads through training to be available for the game on Saturday. It's getting rather too long, the list, but saying that, after last Saturday's performance - and Tuesday's too - we're looking pretty good as a team in the way we're playing.
"What we haven't done at home is turn the two good performances into results and that's a little concern, because we need to be more ruthless and finish teams off, as we did against Crystal Palace."
Goalkeeper Adrian is likely to return against Southampton after being rested for the cup tie.
Southampton are hoping to claim their first Barclays Premier League victory of the season after losing at Liverpool and drawing with West Brom.
A 2-0 Capital One Cup win over Millwall in midweek has raised confidence levels and Ronald Koeman is braced for a clash of styles at Upton Park.
"West Ham are an aggressive team and play in a physical way, different to our philosophy," Koeman said.
"It's always difficult to beat that type of team, and it will be the same on Saturday.
"Winning in the league is always important because it's the best way to gain confidence.
"You can talk and you can believe, but points bring in a good feeling.
"We lost to Liverpool and it wasn't a good game against West Brom."
Koeman kept changes to a minimum against Millwall and explained his thinking was to give his new-look team greater understanding of each other.
"We didn't make a lot of changes in the team because we are starting the season and we need to improve ourselves and get confidence," Koeman said.
"Saturday is totally different. It's the Premier League and West Ham away is different to Millwall away.
"You have to be prepared and we are prepared for Saturday."
Lloyd Isgrove is almost certain to miss the trip.
Koeman has revealed Isgrove is "not in a good physical way to play" after lasting only 30 minutes of the Lions tie.

Right after Christmas, we completely paid off all our cards (like we always do, usually twice a month), and immediately started the spending freeze. We've hardly spent any money since, so my credit utilization is down to about 1%. 1-9% is considered "excellent." As a result, my scores are up 27 points (TransUnion) and 19 points (Equifax) since the last time I checked!
I can't do much about some of the other factors. Age of credit history is probably what I need most, and that takes time, obviously. But I am excited to see that my credit is steadily improving, and it's awesome to sometimes be able to do specific things to improve it instead of guessing like we used to. Seeing that the spending freeze has helped it, even in the short term, brightened my day and gives me motivation to press on through the end of the month!

Gougeon, Jan Clover - 2015 Hall of Fame
Jan Clover Gougeon
"My interest in boats goes back a long way."
August 7, 1945 – December 18, 2012
Birthplace: Bay City, Michigan
Meade Gougeon, the late Jan Gougeon's older brother by seven years, says Optimist Pram designer Clark Mills saved his brother from a life of misery. Jan was not born well. "He was sickly," Meade says, "cross-eyed, dyslexic, and so skinny we called him `rack of bones.' The other kids teased him. He had low self-esteem. Then our local yacht club got 30 Opti kits. We'd been whacking together boats on the beach in Bay City for years, just like our ancestors, so we built an Opti in a week, paint and all. It was April, cold as hell, but Jan wanted to sail the boat. He sailed that boat 50 days in a row. He was eleven, and he never lost a race. Finally, he was not only good at something, he was gifted. He had it! It changed his life. He dominated the DN ice boat fleet from 1971 to 2000, winning eleven national championships and four Worlds.
"Jan knew he was going to build boats. I didn't have a direction, but I was hot to take a chance and said okay, let's do it." Jan went to Canada and apprenticed for three years under builder and pattern maker Vic Carpenter, who first introduced Jan and Meade to epoxy.
Jane Pegel, who has sailed DNs beyond her 80th year, recalls the 1989 DN Worlds in Burlington, Vermont, when Jan broke his mast during a practice day. "He traveled in a small car," Jane says. "He had no parts or repair kit with him. So we all gave him some `Gouge' (West System), and he sat up all night in his room fixing the mast with tongue depressors. He said he worked stark naked so he wouldn't have to wash his clothes. He got the mast fixed, and finished second in the Worlds that year."
Phil Weld's plan to do a solo Atlantic crossing (he would set a record in 1980) in the trimaran Rogue Wave that the Gougeons were building for him, spurred Jan to sail a trimaran in the Bermuda One-Two in 1980. Sailing single-handed Bermuda to Newport, Jan got flipped over by a northeaster in the Gulf Stream. He survived four days on the overturned boat before a freighter found him.
"The next four boats he built were rightable," Meade says. "It was the first and last time any Gougeon had to be rescued. We always get back on our own steam."

Biomarkers to Distinguish Aggressive Cancers from Non-aggressive or Non-progressing Cancer
Distinguishing aggressive cancers from non-aggressive or non-progressing cancers is an issue of both clinical and public health importance particularly for those cancers with an available screening test. With respect to breast cancer, mammographic screening has been shown in randomized trials to reduce breast cancer mortality, but given the limitations of its sensitivity and specificity some breast cancers are missed by screening. These so called interval detected breast cancers diagnosed between regular screenings are known to have a more aggressive clinical profile. In addition, of those cancers detected by mammography some are indolent while others are more likely to recur despite treatment. The pilot study proposed herein is highly responsive to the EDRN supplement titled "Biomarkers to Distinguish Aggressive Cancers from Nonaggressive or Non-progressing Cancers" in that it addresses both of the research objectives related to these issues outlined in the notice for this supplement: Aim 1: To identify biomarkers in tumor tissue related to risk of interval detected vs. mammography screen detected breast cancer focusing on early stage invasive disease. We will compare gene expression profiles using the whole genome-cDNA-mediated Annealing, Selection, extension and Ligation (DASL) assay of 50 screen detected cancers to those of 50 interval detected cancers. Through this approach we will advance our understanding of the molecular characteristics of interval vs. screen detected breast cancers and discover novel biomarkers that distinguish between them. Aim 2: To identify biomarkers in tumor tissue related to risk of cancer recurrence among patients with screen detected early stage invasive breast cancer. Using the DASL assay we will compare gene expression profiles from screen detected early stage breast cancer that either recurred within five years or never recurred within five years. These two groups of patients will be matched on multiple factors including tumor stage and treatments received. Our goal with this comparison is to identify novel biomarkers that discriminate between tumors that recur and are more aggressive compared to those that are less aggressive and do not recur. This project will evaluate well characterized tumor tissue specimens using a robust high dimensional laboratory approach and generate preliminary data that will motivate a larger scale study of high translational relevance.
There are currently no biomarkers annotated for this protocol.
No datasets are currently associated with this protocol.

All of life begins
With division of one cell,
With tiny bits of DNA
Where all our secrets dwell.
To expand a newborn's lungs
It only takes one breath;
And when a life nears end
One final breath knells death.
A relationship or marriage
Can end with just one cheat;
While a cold, dark fireplace
Needs one match to blaze with heat.
Many a road has started
With the laying of one brick,
As every fire must start
With the lighting of one stick.
Historical revolutions began
When the first soldier fell
Or for some it simply took
The tolling of one bell.
Every work of art begins
With a thought, a vision, a dream.
Mighty river currents are fed
By the trickle of a stream.
We can be so encumbered
By the complicated days,
When life's gale winds
Turn us into castaways.
The life raft we need
Is just one step away,
But we have to make the choice
To say go or stay.
It's the simple decisions
The small but mighty steps
That ascends the stairways
Which lead to greater depths.
We need to be reminded
One hand will open doors
And if we're going anywhere
One foot first hits the floor.
Even in life's pleasures
Your clock needs that first tick
And a delicious ice cream cone
Is consumed by one first lick.
You can climb that mountain,
Hidden answers can be found
Just one thought, one prayer, one dream
Will keep you free, unbound.
Just one.

A gallbladder cleanse — also called a gallbladder flush or a liver flush — is an alternative remedy for ridding the body of gallstones. However, no scientific evidence suggests that a gallbladder cleanse helps prevent or treat gallstones or any other disease.
In most cases, a gallbladder cleanse involves eating or drinking a combination of olive oil, herbs and some type of fruit juice over the course of two or more days — during which you may be advised to eat nothing else. There's no standard formula for gallbladder cleansing regimens and products. Different practitioners follow their own recipes.
Proponents of gallbladder cleansing claim that the treatment helps break up gallstones and stimulates the gallbladder to release them in stool. The large, repeated doses of olive oil in gallbladder cleanse preparations do have a laxative effect. And people who have taken a gallbladder cleanse report finding lumps that look like gallstones in their stool just after the procedure. When analyzed, though, these lumps turn out to be composed of oil, juice and other materials.
Gallbladder cleansing is not without risk. Some people have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain during the flushing or cleansing period. Individual components of the herbal mixtures used in a gallbladder cleanse may present their own health hazards.
Gallstones that cause no symptoms typically require no treatment. If you have gallstones that require treatment, discuss proven treatment options with your doctor, such as surgical removal, bile salt tablets or sound wave therapy.

With all the attention being paid this election to millionaire campaign donors and the importance of helping the middle class, candidates on both sides are overlooking one critical segment of our society. And it's not a small segment – in fact it numbers over 46 million people and potential voters.
People below the poverty line.
While I applaud any political candidate who puts the interests of the middle class ahead of the privileged class, we need to acknowledge that at this critical time in our nation's history, 46.2 million people live in poverty. We've heard more angry talk about how threatened cutbacks might impact a fictional TV puppet than we have over how it will affect actual families living on about $250 a week.
When one candidate dismisses 47 percent of all Americans as "victims," while his vice presidential pick dubs them "takers," it's time to shake off the stigma and recognize the true faces of the struggling Americans among us: returning veterans unable to find a job or too traumatized by their war experiences to look; senior citizens burdened by high healthcare costs and struggling to pay their grocery bills; men and women who have to settle for low-wage part-time work without benefits because they can't find a full-time job; people who can't make ends meet working for minimum wage. Many have paid their fair share of taxes throughout their working lives, taxes now funding government programs helping them retrain for new jobs, pay the rent and put food on the table. To them, "government" isn't a dirty word, it's a saving grace.
Income inequality has soared to the highest levels since the Great Depression. Yet productivity at many companies is climbing alongside profits – in part because company leaders made a business decision to keep wages and benefits low in order to keep costs down. Those profits aren't making it into the hands of working poor Americans. In fact, many of our nation's hard-working citizens don't earn enough to pull themselves out of poverty – never mind into the middle class. Programs like food stamps aren't luxury items like Pay-per-View or Caribbean vacations, to be easily cut from our family budget. In too many households, they are an absolute necessity. What greater American value can there be than making sure all people in the most prosperous nation on earth have enough to eat?
My organization, founded by Catholic sisters 40 years ago, lobbies Congress for economic justice. We're idealists, but we're not naïve. There's no question that all government-run programs (including the military) need be held accountable and waste eliminated as much as possible in order to help fix budgetary woes. We agree that everyone willing and able to work should work. But when they can't, the government – by the people and for the people – has a moral obligation to lend a helping hand. What is naïve is the belief that gaping holes in future budgets caused by decimating necessary social programs can and will be filled by church and community alone. That's way more bake sales than any of us can count.
Never Miss a Beat.

Yet that could be the remaining safety net, considering that most analysts believe GOP budget proposals would require deep cuts in programs that benefit the most vulnerable people. I can only hope that the candidate who called us "all children of the same God" with such conviction during the last presidential debate remembers that line if given the political authority to send some of those children to bed hungry after inauguration day. The stark reality is, more money for the chosen few means less government applesauce for the many.
Motivated by deep cuts in the budget proposed by Congressman Paul Ryan, we began our "Nuns on the Bus" movement, starting with a 2,700-mile trip through nine states. Every day on the road, we heard from men, women and even children facing a cold hard truth: if the so-called "Ryan budget" is passed, slashing funding for social programs for families at the economic margins will cause suffering. Throughout our bus tour, we encouraged thousands of our fellow citizens to contact their elected officials and voice their opposition to unfair cutbacks.
In a presidential race as close as this one, practically any segment of our society turning out to vote has the opportunity to influence the outcome of an election and change the course of our nation. Here, now, people below the poverty line have that power. The stakes are higher for them in this election than any other demographic, yet the sad reality is that in developed countries like ours, people at the economic margins don't show up at the polls like those who are better off.
Now, with just days to go before the election, it's Hail Mary time for the underprivileged. If ever there was a time when low-income families and their advocates need to stand up and speak out it's now. When military pensions, disability compensation, housing assistance and child nutrition programs are on the chopping block, there's no time – or vote – to waste. "We the People" must harness our collective power in the one place where it truly doesn't matter if you're a billionaire or a bus boy, the one place where every American is equal in the eyes of the law and under God: at the polls.
Want to win this election, candidate Romney and candidate Obama? Recruit the vote of 46 million poor Americans.

Letter to the Editor: How about this idea for the Veterans Hall
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Sun contacted Tahoe Forest Church on Thursday; a spokesperson said the church has not made an offer, nor has one been discussed, regarding the Truckee Veterans Hall. Results of an appraisal done on the hall late last year can be found through the following shortened web link: http://bit.ly/Wx7x8W
This is in response to sale of Veterans Hall. What happened to competitive bidding?
We would buy the property for the pittance of $545,000 the church will pay and change nothing. We would preserve Native American cultural site. We would preserve gothic-style building. We would leave untouched the plaques to the honored fallen in their concrete perpetuity. The flag and pole would remain. A solar photovoltaic roof could power the building and 8-10 homes for free. The historic Rocking Stone could stay unsplit into a tiny fraction of history.
We would donate property to town of Truckee with a deed that could not be swept aside by petty council persons claiming it would be too old to count (I thought the older the provenance or conveyance, the better).
In short, lets keep it as is for nothing, versus major change to parking lots, untold traffic complications, building changes, skyline blowouts and no flag over town. This building was built by and for veterans on land given to veterans. We would be glad to bid in an honest and fair environment.
A deal engineered by park and recreation is not a fair process. Come on Truckee – let's get together and save some of our history for posterity.

Warranty & Discontinuation of Product
Hi everybody, Now we have a situation here in terms of warranty and product discontinuation : A large facility was being constructed which required ~1500 architectu...
Hi everybody,
Now we have a situation here in terms of warranty and product discontinuation :
A large facility was being constructed which required ~1500 architecturally exposed fixtures of a particular style/model. A Purchase Order was drawn up with terms of Warranty of 10 years. This was in 2014.
Cut to 2019, replacement of 9 fixtures are required (5# attributable under warranty provisions + 4# misused by the Purchaser) and it is now learnt that the fixtures itself is discontinued from the product line since 2017.
It is not possible to install 9 fixtures of a different model / look as these are architecturally exposed fixtures / products.
The Supplier has politely declined to answer the conflict of giving a 10 year warranty ending 2024 and discontinuing the product in 2017.
Q1: Advise on possible ways such a situation has been contractually dealt with.
Q2: How can one estimate the damages towards default by the Supplier in committing to its obligations under the Warranty Period, since the product has been discontinued?
Thanks in Advance
Product replacement or discontinuation is obviously quite usual - but that doesn't alter warranty obligations. The manufacturer should have stocked sufficient to meet likely needs. Without knowing the value. It is hard to know whether it is worth pursuing them; right now it sounds like they are ignoring you in the hope you just give up.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your viewpoint and I couldn't agree more with you on this.
However, they have actually discontinued the product and their revised e-catalogue confirms this. I am sure they understand that a Purchase Order from us would just add on to their revenue in multiples at best, to risk such ignorance. Of the 28 product categories they have supplied, the issue affects only 1 of the 28.
The query deals around with
(a) non availability of spare parts of the product and
(b) non availability of the product itself.
• Isle of Man Government • 2020-01-09 15:26:31
Experience suggests this will boil down to the terminology used within your warranty document. It may be unreasonable to expect a supplier to maintain full stocks for all warranty potential on discontinued products (Tim already mentioned value...). More commonly, suppliers offer repair or replacement with the direct alternative product. If the 'standard' warranty were considered unacceptable at the outset it would be appropriate to develop the warranty model to include a recommended spares holding based upon MTBF, or more onerously full replacement of the product range used including mobilisation costs. Either way both parties are fully aware of expectations and obligations from the outset.
Contractually speaking if the warranty document is deficient you are really only left with negotiation. An option being to approach the supplier for access to the original product production drawings and look to have bespoke replacements made.
As a compromise and considering the actual failure rate seems quite low (5# out of 1500#) - though in no way trying to belittle the frustration you must feel - are there visual aspects where use of the replacement product may be viable and use the original products from those locations for the more visible locations ?

Did someone face a situation for a construction contract, when contract has submitted claims for delays from Owner and acceleration efforts, and on the other hand Owner wants to backcharge contractor for delays penalty and additional management expense to expedite and overall delay in the completion of the project.
Another question, if contract terms stipulate clearly that any delay form clients' of the owner is not owner's responsibility, then acceleration effort to recover these delays is payable by owner or contractor.
• Air Liquide • 2019-09-19 05:26:46
1) Yes. It often happens when the parties reject delay and extra costs to each other. It also happens that each party terminates the contract because of the the other party breaches.
2) Provided that this clause is valid (client's client delay is not client's responsibility), I would depend of the existence of a "time is of the essence clause" and upon the governing law.
• Rajit Padmakant Consultants Pvt Ltd • 2019-09-21 08:34:54
1. Reply - Yes It happens when contractor's payment is to be made based on milestone basis and where delay from contractor's side concurrently delay from employer's side also during contract administration stage both parities contracts manager and PM don't sit to-gather to establish the delay attributed to which party, on other hand employer want the work to be completed with in laid completion dates. with found delay employ deploys third party manpower to complete work and adjust this cost from Contractor's Accounts under Employer's Claims.
2. Reply - can be replied based on type of contract is formed.

Hi. I need to provide a commercial strategy for a data center exit. It involves hundreds of contacts and about 40 vendors. Does anyone have any experience in this to let me know the best way to present the information in an easy to absorb way? Anyone have a template/ dashboards/ PowerPoint that they could share as a base?

Are the contracts customer contract? Perhaps it may be useful to present the contracts based on the unexpired residue of the term left and whether or not the consent of the customer is required (for assignment). Are the contracts being assigned to a third party? Will the customer have to consent to the assignment?
If you are terminating the contract, you may need to look at the requirements under the term of the contract that will allow you to terminate without liability.

My organization (public organization)has a new Procurement Leadership that is requesting that we (Buyers) issue contract amendments for change orders the Engineers (Project Managers) send in for additional work (increase in scope). I see this as change orders for the project and not amendments to the contract. We also have language in the contracts and the change orders follow this process, using the change order document provided in the contracts. I cannot seem to understand why we are doing an amendment for a change order. In my opinion, the scope is increasing but the work (project) is still the same, so there is no need for a contract amendment. Please can anyone provide an insight? Is it required that contract amendment be issued for, and in addition to change orders when there is an increase in scope?
• Ministry of Defence • 2019-10-04 08:42:04
How do you increase the price of the contract, assuming the change order varies the price? Suggest it's via a contract amendment. But, however you do it make sure it's legally enforceable!

I am brainstorming ideas for a supplier contract where I want to ensure the technology and services to be provided by the supplier for resale to our end-customer over a long term contract do not disappear, either through supplier insolvency or acquisition. If this were a software deal, I'd ask for source code escrow from the supplier. What would an equivalent level of protection be for a hardware/services solution?
Interesting point, Michelle.
I´d strongly encourage you to raise this question also within the IACCM technology network, which is a micro-community, where you will be able to get insights to new trends in this specific field and where I am sure you´ll have the opportunity to share ideas regarding the topic you have brought:
Also, please check our library:
where, you will find some articles about 'escrow agreements' for the software arena and other topics associated with risk management in the hardware world as well. By analogy you will explore ideas regarding hardware coming from best practices and escrow programs with the goal of risk mitigation
Best regards
• 2018-12-29 21:07:59
Hi Michelle - saw your post. For hardware: having a refresh plan with your supplier following a bit of a mutual benchmark, to see how best to provision for your upcoming capacity needs, might give some assurance. For services or subscriptions-based tech: having a documented 'cookbook' of key players and tech needed to recreate the service, including a list of any solutions 'not commercially available' or not easily re-purchased in Canada updated, might also be helpful to gage the difficulty of transitioning off your current tech,if needs be.
Those two governance-type processes, along with the typical supplier obligation to reasonably cooperate with any successor and to provide some mutually-agreed orderly termination assistance, might serve you well (outside escrow for software). Hope that offers some ideas...good luck. Cheers, Robin

Happy Thursday Everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Hoping to receive some guidance and speaking points on a request I recieved from my sales folks.
We completed a large portion of a project w/ Company X that later went bankrupt. We had a sales contract w/ Company X for the overall project. We received payment for the portion that was completed. Now the principles formed a new company and want us to complete the remainder of the project. However, the new company (& unfortunately, our owns sales team) is trying to pursue using the voided sales contract for the remainder of the remainder of the project to be completed. Basically, just change the name from Company X to "New Company".
I have few basics reasons why that is something we should NOT do. For example, the contract is legally void b/c Company X is no longer in existence; the terms in old contract were not favorable to us as the seller; the risks of doing business with the new company are much different than the old.
Would anyone mind sharing a few additional & impactful reasons why using the old contract isn't a good idea?
Thank you in advance. Have a good weekend.
• Schlumberger • 2018-08-12 06:54:16
Just in case you still need a few other pointers, consider the following:
One thing sales people understand is numbers so approach it from an accounting point of view. Since the contract is void, consider discussing the fact they will not be able to meet all the GAAP principles for revenue recognition and if your accounts folk are diligent they probably will back you up ( but run this by them - accounts - first. Companies interpret or apply GAAP revenue recognition differently ).
Since Company X no longer exists and as such has no contracting capacity, it cant assign/novate the contract which will impact collectability should the New Company choose not to follow through with what it has implied it would do re: payment
If you are required to create a new agreement using the same or similar terms and conditions, consider preparing a risk assessment analysis of the contract and let the stakeholders approve the risk they are taking on by utilizing the same Ts & Cs so everyone is on the same page. Whatever discussions or approvals were obtained for the former Company should not apply to the New Company.
All the best!

I cannot suggest any template, but can advise the following points to be taken care of while agreeing the Contract -
1) Overstay compensation or rate revision formula
2) Discount factor for scope increment or compensation factor for reduction.
3) % of Liquidated damages, in case of delay attributed to Contractor's end.
4) Try to negotiate with some grace period even after original contract completion date keeping the original rates valid.

We have a contractor for a service and we are looking to part ways with the vendor. The contractor has emailed us and said they are no longer interested in performing the service and we are happy with letting them go. Can this email work as a means to terminate the contract?
Also from a legal aspect how do we handle this? Is a simple email back to them sufficient to confirm this termination arrangement?
Thanks in advance for your help.
• Telefonica • 2018-05-15 17:52:16
There are a lot of aspects to consider here, for example:
are you buying a replacement service from another vendor? if so, do you need the current vendor to support transition to the new vendor?
does the current vendor need to return any confidential documents?
are all payments up to date?
are any contract penalties (service credits, LDs) outstanding?
Irrespective of the above, you need to formally terminate the contract, confirming that neither party has any liability to the other following termination, except, perhaps, confidentiality provisions and, potentially, any latent defect/warranty claims. Simply 'allowing' the vendor to walk away seems odd: you spent time (and therefore money) on-boarding them and agreeing a contract, it seems strange to end the relationship in this way.
• Neptune Marine Service Ltd • 2018-05-16 01:14:24
Hi Dale,
What contract states with regards to email communication and authorized representative. If the contract only states that communications shall be in writing to the authorized representative. The next question that will arise is Governing Law of the contract. As some countries have adopted the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITL) published its Model Law on Electronic Commerce in 1996 which states that actions will not be invalidated or discriminated against merely because they were conducted electronically and emails are considered as a message in "Writing"
So, make sure the message in "Writing" based on the governing law is communicated to the Authorised Representative.
For the balance checks, I agree with Steve Grange and that shall suffice.
Gaurav Seth
Hey Dale,
I agree with Steve Grange. Create a formal Exit plan with the company to close off any outstanding liabilities to both parties. Regardless of each others 'mutual consent' to this. At the end of the that process formally close it off with a document. This will prevent anything coming back to bite you in the future.
• Siemens Pte Ltd • 2018-05-17 09:52:18
Dear Dale,
I agree with Steve, Gaurav and Phil, They have covered multiple aspects which we have to look at before letting the vendor walk off as I believe in this case Vendor has no financial impact on them so easy for them to walk off without formal termination/closure of the contract. But from the moment you accept or let Vendor walk out all the responsibilities more of liabilities fall on your company.

The first item to consider is to ensure to review the Services Agreement and review the Termination and Notices Section and any others that may come in to play when terminating an agreement. Are there a certain number of days after written notification that the services agreement will terminate? Are you terminating a master agreement and any ordering documents or SOWs or either or both? Do you need to provide notice to the contractor via email, mail, certified mail, overnight delivery? Does your agreement allow for electronic transmission communication as an acceptable method of communicating to make it legally binding in a notices provision?
I then also check to see if there are provisions such as Confidential Information/Materials or any other security items that need to be returned to your company that would need to be mentioned in a termination agreement or letter. Is there any confidential information, materials, laptop/pc, security badges and property that need to be returned and when, how and to whom? These are a few of a number of items may need to be addressed in a termination agreement along with ramp down services and whether there are any fees apart from standard fees that would need to be paid to considered. I have seen termination agreements be very simple with little to no instruction since the Services Agreement was simple straightforward agreement with little to be exchanged by way of CI, materials, goods, security, property and others that can run a few pages of negotiated ramp down services, transfer of services to another contractor or training and payment of ramp down costs at stake.

Hi All, I'm interested to know what steps you take when a company notifies you of an acquisition? We get a lot of requests to move the contract and invoices to new entity since the existing contract holder is no longer in a position to pay for services (been absorbed / no longer trading under contracted name). We do our checks to make sure it's a legitimate request so I understand the need to transfer the contract but is there a standard way of dealing with these types of requests to avoid potential risks?
I know a novation would not be appropriate as we would be unable to obtain Director signature of a company that no longer exists. What other methods are available?
• 2018-01-29 03:21:57
You must be very careful here, as the merger/acquisition does not always lead to a completed transaction. If the merger/acquisition does not complete, the co-mingling and sharing of documents could result in risks such as violation to confidentiality as well as regulatory violations. It is often beneficial to consider a "clean room" approach where the contracts and other documents are brought into a third-party environment, or clean room, for review, analysis, comparison and contrast. If the merger/acquisition is abandoned, the documents are returned to the original owner without the other party having seen the documents. The third party clean room operator is precluded from sharing information between the parties. this technique allows due diligence to proceed insulated from many of the risks.

For Immediate Release
July 17, 2011 - Rio, Illinois: Madaleine J. Laird once served in the United States Air Force as an Arabic cryptologic linguist, but to paraphrase Forrest Gump, that's all she has to say about that. Her favorite civilian 9-to-5 jobs were at public and academic libraries, where she worked on the "front lines" at the circulation desk and in the trenches in technical services. She has written margin features for lower-division college textbooks, biographical profiles for a book on Irish American history, reviews of romance novels for a national magazine, and dozens of how-to articles on everything from household appliances to genealogical research. Madaleine has also spoken to genealogical societies about library research and information literacy. She attended Samford University's Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research for the past three summers, finally earning her survival badge for the Advanced Methodology and Evidence Analysis course taught by Elizabeth Shown Mills. A recent transplant to the Washington, D.C. area, Madaleine looks forward to conducting research for herself and others at such local repositories as the Library of Congress and the National Archives. Her duties as copy editor of Casefile Clues include wrangling wayward prose, getting persnickety about punctuation, and coaxing more citations out of the long-suffering author/editor.

shot against St. Lawrence
Photo Courtesy: Gil Talbot
CANTON, N.Y. – Senior Randi Griffin
scored on a penalty shot with 25 seconds left in the game to help
the Harvard women's hockey team complete a third-period
comeback and seal a critical 2-1 win against St. Lawrence Friday at
Appleton Arena. With the win, Katey Stone, the Landry Family Head
Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey, tied the all-time
Division I record for victories with the 337th win of her
Harvard improves to 18-6-4 overall and 13-6-2 in ECAC play while St. Lawrence slips to 14-12-7 overall and 10-8-3 in conference action. The win also pushes the Crimson into third place in ECAC standings with one regular-season game remaining, while the Saints fall to seventh in league standings.
The Crimson got on the board just past the midway point of the final period as freshman Jillian Dempsey scored her 10th goal of the season off junior Kate Buesser's team-leading 21st assist, tying the score at 1-1. With under a minute to play, St. Lawrence was called for a delay-of-game penalty resulting in a Harvard penalty shot and Griffin took full advantage, beating St. Lawrence goalie Maxie Weisz for the game-winner with 25 seconds to play.
Harvard earned its first power play of the game early in the second period but was unable to capitalize on the only man-up opportunity in the stanza. The Saints got on the board first late in the middle frame as Vanessa Emond netted an even-strength goal off an assist from Alley Bero at 18:58 to give the hosts a 1-0 edge after two.
An uneventful first period saw the Crimson kill two penalties, including its second penalty kill where it held the Saints without a shot on goal. Harvard finished the period with an 11-5 edge in shots.
The Crimson closes out the regular season with a crucial conference game at No. 6 Clarkson Saturday at 4 p.m.
