“the elements”

Reviewing the force majeure clause in a license agreement today and came across the following language: “For purposes of this Agreement, a ‘Force Majeure’ event shall be any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Party so failing including, without limitation, . . . the elements . . . .” Usually events such as war, civil disorder, collapse of government are included in that clause. Seeing “the elements” listed made me smile. Can’t argue with the elements!

gliffy for online chart drawing

you guys know i’ve been a fan of lovelycharts.com for making a quick flow chart but i was just introduced to gliffy and prefer it. you can save 5 diagrams on your free account and it integrates with google docs and confluence wiki. nice. it’s the product i’d recommend if you’re creating a SWOT chart; the template they provide is really well done and exports as jpeg, png, svg, or xml. take a look at gliffy the next time you need to make a flow chart, Venn diagram, or organization chart.
