+# Pausable & Ownable 
+
+Implement two programs for SPL that can be used to extend contracts with ability to pause, resume and check for the owner before instructions are executed.
+
+An Owner program with the instructions you've listed:
+
+    - set owner
+    - renounce ownership
+    - check owner
+
+Additionally:
+* an Owner struct should contain Option<Pubkey>
+* library code should generate a pda, probably given (struct_key, program_id)
+
+Given an Owner program, compose it with the Pause program.
+
+    - pause
+    - resume
+
+Note: only owner can pause/resume normal operations
+
+For both programs provide example usage from other programs via CPI and unit tests.
