When referring to a project name (e.g., Project Swift), do both sides use the same project name? Or will the other side have no idea what I'm talking about? Relatedly, if you see other project names in the VDR, does that usually mean that the deal is in a new iteration? Maybe a previous buyer fell through? Or what?

50/50. Other side frequently has their own for the deal. Can depend whether an auction or discrete sale/merger of equals/whether bankers are involved.

Depends. If it's an auction and still in the auction stage, it's not uncommon for each party to have a different name for it. Typically, if it's a strategic/proprietary deal, both parties will use the same name, at least once it's past the LOI stage.

Re the VDR question, the sellers will use different code names and data rooms for different bidders or yes, for new processes.

Often each side has their own project name, and occasionally the bankers each have a separate name as well. I saw one on the litigation side where we found seven different codenames for the deal during doc review.

28M. First time solo travel 3 week trip to Spain coming up. Flying Royal Air Maroc from US. They’re allowing 2 check in bags and 1 carry on. However, I want to travel light and am trying to avoid check in bags completely. What carry on backpacks do you recommend to buy that would be enough for 3 week trip but also be allowed as a carry on? Also need to buy packing cubes.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
