Icertis Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape for CLM Software for Corporate Legal
Report Recognizes Contract Management Software Company Based on Customer Satisfaction, Functionality, Strategy, and Other Criteria
BELLEVUE, Wash. – Dec. 2, 2021 – Icertis, the contract intelligence company that pushes the boundaries of what's possible with contract lifecycle management (CLM), today announced that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Contract Life-Cycle Management Software for Corporate Legal 2021 Vendor Assessment (doc #US46965921, November 2021). Icertis was recognized as a Leader for both capabilities and strategies in the first IDC MarketScape to focus on CLM capabilities for legal professionals. The IDC MarketScape report excerpt is available for download here.
The IDC MarketScape evaluated ten CLM providers based on a wide range of criteria, including customer satisfaction, functionality, and strategy. The assessment found Icertis to have the following strengths:
Ease of use: Customers widely reported the intuitive and configurable user interface of Icertis was a major benefit. Legal users, in particular, noted that Icertis' integration with the Microsoft Office suite was seamless and enabled them to work where they are comfortable. Further, Icertis has a large number of out-of-the-box APIs that customers reported aiding in their embedding of the software within existing infrastructure.
Vertical/horizontal focus: Icertis has all of the essential capabilities one would expect from a CLM tool—the flexibility of the tool to tailor the experience based on horizontals and verticals of the enterprises. Icertis gives end users everything they need and nothing that they do not. Customers noted that the partnership they experience from the Icertis team helped them enhance their expertise within specific horizontals and verticals.
According to the IDC MarketScape report, "Contract lifecycle management tools sit at the heart of digital transformation, not only for legal, but also for the organization at large. Digitally transformed enterprises are breaking down silos and creating well-oiled machines that work as one instead of an amalgamation of documents. Very few pieces of technology cut across the organization quite like CLM."
"We believe that being recognized as a leader in this important IDC MarketScape research validates the indisputable ROI that legal teams and their organizations are achieving with Icertis as they transform contract management," said Samir Bodas, CEO and Co-founder, Icertis. "Contracts are the single source of truth for a company's entitlements and obligations, driving corporate legal professionals to harness the power of Icertis Contract Intelligence to enable incredible agility for their legal department, as well as business."
Clear ROI for Legal Teams
The report recommends that legal departments find solutions that have robust functionality for legal and can connect contract data to the enterprise systems contracts touch.
"With CLM, that ROI is crystal clear," states the IDC MarketScape. "Respondents to IDC's 2020 Legal Technology Buyer Survey who had already implemented a CLM tool indicated that they saved the equivalent of 9.44 full-time employees by using CLM."
Freeing up time spent on contract language enables legal teams to focus on more strategic functions, such as providing advice and counsel, reviewing new laws and regulations impacting the business, and focusing on high-impact transactions like mergers and acquisitions.
"Icertis gives end users everything they need and nothing that they do not. Customers noted that the partnership they experience from the Icertis team helped them enhance their expertise within specific horizontals and verticals," the IDC MarketScape noted.
Icertis is a recognized leader in CLM technology, helping companies to stay out in front and glean the most business value out of their investment. The IDC MarketScape follows Icertis' being named a Leader in both the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contract Life Cycle Management (CLM) and the Forrester Wave: Contract Lifecycle Management for All Contracts, Q1 2021, among other 2021 analyst recognitions.
"Icertis is differentiating on a number of pathways here, potentially playing chess while many other vendors are playing checkers, when it comes to value," IDC recently stated in a separate report.
With unmatched technology and category-defining innovation, Icertis pushes the boundaries of what's possible with contract lifecycle management (CLM). The AI-powered, analyst-validated Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform turns contracts from static documents into strategic advantage by structuring and connecting the critical contract information that defines how an organization runs. Today, the world's most iconic brands and disruptive innovators trust Icertis to govern the rights and commitments in their 10 million+ contracts worth more than $1 trillion, in 40+ languages and 93+ countries.

KEYWORDS bacteria / cleaning and sanitation / Listeria
Recent information released by Blue Bell Creameries relating to the cause of the Listeria contamination in some of its ice cream products has a familiar ring to it—improperly maintained equipment contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. "One of our machines produced a limited amount of frozen snacks with a potential Listeria problem," said a Blue Bell March 13, 2015 press release. According to an Associated Press report, the affected machine was an extruder that forms the ice cream into certain shapes for specific products. This was the first time in the company's 108-year history that it issued a recall, which was based on five patients over 12 months or more becoming sick and/or dying at a Kansas hospital.
Approximately four years ago, Jensen Farms' cantaloupes caused a major outbreak of Listeriosis, sickening 146 people in 28 states and killing 28. According to FDA, causes for this spread of Listeria (among other facility issues) included packing equipment that was not easily cleaned and sanitized, and washing/drying equipment that was not designed for cantaloupes, but another raw agricultural commodity. In addition, there was no pre-cooling step to remove field heat from the melons before cold storage.
On September 5, 2008, Maple Leaf Foods publicly announced the likely source of a Listeria contamination at its Bartor Road plant. "After careful study of the records, the physical plant and product test results received from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), internal and external experts have concluded that the most likely source was a possible collection point for bacteria located deep inside the mechanical operations of two slicing machines on lines 8 and 9. Rigorous sanitization of this equipment was completed on a daily basis in accordance with or exceeding the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. However, upon full disassembly, areas were found where bacteria may accumulate deep inside the slicing machines and avoid the sanitization process." In the Maple Leaf outbreak, 22 people died, and 57 total confirmed cases of Listeriosis were reported.
In an April 3, 2015 update, Blue Bell announced it was suspending operations at its Broken Arrow, OK manufacturing plant to determine what may have led to the contamination of some of its products.
Meanwhile, an April 3 release from CDC indicates tests on four of the patients linked their Listeriosis to Blue Bell products made at the company's Brenham, TX facility. FDA found Listeria in samples of Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Country Cookies, Great Divide Bars and individually packaged SCOOPS. Several other products made on the same line were recalled, according to a Blue Bell update on March 23. On March 22, the Kansas Department of Health & Environment reported one positive test for Listeria monocytogenes on a chocolate institutional/foodservice cup recovered from the Kansas hospital.
"Manufacturers, especially those who make refrigerated and frozen products, need to be especially vigilant about cleaning facilities and machines to make sure the food they produce is safe," said Attorney Fred Pritzker in PritzkerOlsen's Food Poisoning Bulletin. "This isn't the first time ice cream has been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria."
According to FDA's guidance document, "Control of Listeria monocytogenes In Refrigerated or Frozen Ready-To-Eat (RF-RTE) Foods," this bacterium is one healthy, hearty critter that's nearly impossible to kill once it's in a product like lunch meat, cantaloupes or ice cream. In fact, it can thrive in cool/cold and moist environments. Therefore, proper equipment cleaning and maintenance are extremely important.
For processors seeking advice on how to prevent Listeria contamination of refrigerated foods, this FDA guidance document is a gold mine of information. It offers free and complete advice for designing, building and maintaining a processing facility with equipment that will resist Listeria contamination and, with proper maintenance and cleaning, stay clean.
To minimize the potential for Listeria contamination of RF-RTE food and food-contact surfaces, FDA recommends that processors establish and use a sanitation program that includes a written sanitation standard operating procedure (SSOP) and a sanitation maintenance schedule for areas where RF-RTE foods or food-contact surfaces are processed or exposed. A written SSOP will help new employees know what is expected of them when cleaning facilities and equipment. But having a good SSOP is not enough. An extensive, machine-specific training program can help prevent a disaster down the road.

#foreign ministry budget
Foreign ministry seeks 3.6 pct budget hike for 2021 to focus on contactless diplomacy, U.S., China
All News 09:07 September 01, 2020
By Song Sang-ho
SEOUL, Sept. 1 (Yonhap) -- The foreign ministry said Tuesday that it is requesting a 3.6 percent increase for next year's budget with a focus on strengthening digital capabilities for non-face-to-face diplomacy and cooperation with the United States and China.
The ministry proposed 2.84 trillion won (US$ 2.39 billion) for the 2021 budget, an increase from 2.74 trillion won this year, as it seeks to beef up contactless diplomacy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and cope with growing geopolitical tensions from a Sino-U.S. rivalry.
"The foreign ministry's budget proposal contains various new projects that can help expand the country's diplomatic horizons while actively responding to the COVID-19 situation that makes it difficult for us to conduct face-to-face diplomacy that we actively carried out in the past," the ministry said in a press release.
"It is expected to correspond to a new diplomatic paradigm which is to bolster non-face-to-face exchanges," it added.
The ministry's budget proposal includes 10 billion won to digitalize accounting and work support programs for some 180 overseas diplomatic missions, and 6.7 billion won to beef up public diplomacy through a digitalized platform.
To strengthen strategic cooperative partnerships with countries in North America, the ministry seeks to spend 5.7 billion won, an increase of 1.1 billion won from this year, while it set aside 3.1 billion won, up 400 million won from this year, to enhance diplomacy with China and other countries in Northeast Asia.
The ministry also proposed 3.7 billion won to deepen cooperation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a key partner for its signature New Southern Policy. It is more than double this year's budget of 1.8 billion won.
For the official development assistance, the ministry seeks to spend 963 billion won, a 4.9 percent increase from this year.

Experience the "Budtender" at America's First Cannabis Cafe
In West Hollywood, a new tri-level restaurant and weed cafe is attracting quite a bit of attention. For one, how is possible that a restaurant serving THC-infused dishes is alongside a smoking and vaping cafe? Lowell Farms had to go through considerable hoops to bring America's first cafe into existence.
Known for its popular "Lowell Smokes" pre-rolled cigarette products, the Lowell Herb Co. is opening a new restaurant that had to separate its kitchen from the rest of the building in order to accommodate California's law. The new Lowell Farms: Cannabis Cafe is the work of founders Sean Black and David Elias. The restaurant just opened up in West Hollywood to rave reviews thanks to its menu, edibles, THC cocktails, and open air rooftop dining area.
Lowell Herb Co. gained popularity in dispensaries throughout California because of its pre-rolled smokes. The packaging and sustainable cannabis farming made the company a hit with weed smokers who wanted a better product. The company uses organize fertilizers and sun-grown plants that cut down on electricity usage. The new restaurant was built with the same eco-friendly sustainability in mind.
Much of the cafe is made from reclaimed wood, and you'll be dining on reclaimed plates and silverware. The design of the tri-level restaurant is also quite unique, or else it wouldn't be able to operate in the state of California.
Patrons can bring their smokes and vapes to the cafe, and they can order dishes from the adjacent kitchen. The design is swanky and rustic with beautiful views of the city. Lowell partnered up with Mark and Jonnie Houston who founded Houston Hospitality. They have partnered up before to bring new LA night clubs to the scene, but this latest venture is in the opposite direction.
Lowell Farms: A Cannabis Cafe is a natural experience that celebrates cooking with weed while also catering to what many weed smokers have been asking for: a place where they can eat and smoke their beloved hash. The restaurant also has some pretty famous patrons, who are prominently featured on the walls. These include Miley Cyrus, Woody Harrelson, David Bowie, and Lenny Bruce.
In addition to the dining aspect, Lowell Farms plans to host several entertainment acts at their newly built venue. Some of the acts include Miley and Noah Cyrus, Jimmy Kimmel, Mark Ronson, Chelsea Handler, Diplo, and Halsey.
Lowell Herb Co. also continues to be extremely innovative with its marketing tactics for the new cafe. The company launched a smokable cannabis flower crown for Coachella, and a Valentine's Day bouquet that included one ounce of bud mixed in with the flowers.
While the cafe isn't able to serve alcoholic beverages at this time, Lowell Herb Co. is optimistic that the chain will continue to grow and offer more THC-infused menu items as laws reflect what the people want. For now, much of the food is sustainable and organically farmed, offering a unique blend of Americana with a store that sells edibles, vapes, THC-infused drinks, pre-rolled smokes, and CBD oil products.

While attending Western, Paul Grave's conservative beliefs were challenged everyday.
But the criticisms just strengthened his arguments, he said.
"You develop your swimming muscles more when you are swimming upstream," Graves said.
In the 2003-2004 school year, Graves was double majoring in philosophy and political science, and leading the campus as the Associated Students president, he said.
Now, Graves is running as a Republican candidate for Washington's fifth legislative district to represent communities east of Bellevue.
"I am a Republican. I've been a Republican. I am not shy about that," he said.
Graves' campaign is built on education, jobs, transportation and government accountability, according to his website.
Graves wants to follow in the footsteps of Daniel J. Evans, former governor of Washington, as a Republican environmentalist, he said.
"You can care about the environment without simultaneously wanting to hurt the economy," Graves said.
Graves first volunteered for the AS before he landed his position as vice president of legislative affairs as a sophomore, he said.
Then, he became the AS president in 2003.
"Once you get that bug for politics it never really goes away," Graves said.
He described the AS presidency as a "mini-business degree" within itself.
The president has to work on budgets, deal with personnel problems and develop the mission for the organization, he said.
During his term, Graves managed 150 employees, 30 program offices, a TV station, a radio station and a coffee shop, he said.
Eileen Coughlin is the vice president of enrollment and student services. Her job is to communicate between the administration and the AS. Coughlin regularly meets with the AS president one-on-one to give advice and help with any problems or concerns, she said.
Allison Smith Bilas, who preceded Graves as AS president, said he always made her laugh at work.
Graves believes closing the education gap between wealthy and poor students, and white and minority groups is the new civil rights movement of our time, he said.
He is the board secretary of Excel Public Charter School. The school focuses on skills for STEM fields, according to their website.
Graves is currently working as a lawyer at Perkins Coie LLP. He won pro bono attorney of the year in 2011 for his work handling cases for children in the foster care system.
Running for the state legislature is just a continuation of his community involvement, Graves said.
Now he's running for state representatives for communities such as Issaquah, Fall City and Snoqualmie, and hopes to better the lives of the people living within the fifth district.


The Ford C6 is a heavy-duty automatic transmission built by Ford Motor Company between 1966 and 1996. Compared to its predecessor MX transmission, the C6 offered lower weight, complexity, and parasitic power loss and greater torque capacity for larger engines, without exceeding the packaging dimensions of the MX. These design goals were in line with those of the C4 for smaller engines.
To cut down on weight and cost, the C6 featured a simple, three speed Simpson planetary gearset as well as over 10 lb (4.5 kg) of powdered metal. To aid in shift quality and long time durability, it was the first automatic transmission designed to use the Borg-Warner flexible shift band.
The C6 was used in trucks and cars with larger engines.

Recent studies have shown that white tea has anti-wrinkle power in every cup. It works to protect collagen and elastin, whether you drink it or put it onto your skin topically. Tea is already the most popular beverage on earth. After you learn how good it is for your skin, you may be adding to its popularity! I did. You can read more about the anti-wrinkle benefits of white tea by clicking here.
Olive oil, too, whether eaten or applied topically, protects from sun damage and keeps skin from aging prematurely. Scientists believe olive oil consumption may be the component in the Mediterranean diet that accounts for the lower incidence of skin cancer in the region, even though there is so much intense sunlight there. You can read more about the beauty benefits of olive oil by clicking here.
The key point is that maintaining the beauty of our skin is a holistic practice. What we put in and what we put on our bodies complement each other. Really, the big anti-aging secret is – there is no anti-aging secret. Doing what is good for our health and happiness causes us to flourish, and the main place it shows is in our skin.
Sun Protection you can Eat!

Robertson: I want to lead Scotland out at a championship

Scotland v Belgium
D. Fletcher
New Scotland captain Andy Robertson has set his sights on qualification for a major tournament as he seeks to etch his name into the national team's football history.
The Liverpool left-back has been handed the armband by manager Alex McLeish and is aiming to lead Scotland to a first finals appearance since the 1998 World Cup in France.
He also revealed that a conversation with former captain and Stoke City midfielder Darren Fletcher helped shape and solidify his ambition for the national team.
"For the country, [the aim] has to be getting back to championships. Too long has passed when we have not managed to qualify," Robertson told the Edinburgh Evening News ahead of Scotland's glamour friendly with World Cup semi-finalists Belgium on Friday at Hampden Park.
"The captains before me would have said the exact same thing. I spoke to Darren Fletcher when he wasn't playing, near the end, and that was his biggest disappointment – that he hadn't managed to get us back to a World Cup or a Euros. I don't want that to be me.
"I want us to manage to get to a championship and lead the boys out. We've got a great chance here. Hopefully we can do it at the first time of asking."
The former Hull City defender has also explained how special it is to be given the armband and join the list of historic names to lead his nation.
He added: "When the announcement was made, you see all the names that have captained this country.
"For me to go on that list – it's a special list and I hope by the end of my captaincy that I'm in the same breath as them.
"Technically I am just now, but I haven't achieved anything that they have. There is still a long way to go but I'm hopeful that, when the time comes to hang up my boots, I can be in the same sentence as some of the names that were on that [list]."
Robertson's first competitive game as skipper sees Scotland host Albania in their maiden UEFA Nations League fixture on Monday.


The zipper-less design of the Light Quilt 25º delivers the weight of a sewn-closed quilt, with the "full-flat" functionality of a convertible quilt. Zenbivy's buttery-soft 20d fabrication sets this quilt apart from its more "purist" 10d competitors. It is the softest, and most durable, legitimately-lightweight quilt out there. Premium 800 fill power HyperDRY rounds out the package and delivers a final quilt that is weight-competitive with much more expensive offerings, while delivering on Zenbivy's promise of maximum comfort.
Add a Zenbivy Light Sheet to create a full EN rated sleeping bag, and even more comfort options.
Configure the Light Sheet 25º with any Zenbivy Light Quilt to make a complete Zenbivy Light Bed. The hood is insulated with 800fp HyperDRY down to perfectly match our 25º Light Quilt. However, it's mid-temperature rating also makes it the best choice if you want one sheet to pair with multiple different temperature quilts.
At only 2.5 ounces, this comfort item should find its way into even the stingiest of ultra-lighter's packs. The exclusive 2-piece design is both lighter and more comfortable than other pillows. Plus, it's easy to wash and allows you to stuff extra soft items inside to dial-in the softness and height to match your pillow at home. We can't think of any other product that offers more comfort per gram than the Zenbivy Light Pillow.
The NeoAir® X-Therm™ offers more warmth per gram than any other air mattress in the world. It's the lightest mattress to deliver full "EN rated" warmth for your Zenbivy Bed (or any other EN rated sleeping bag). Gram counters will love the standard tapered shape, but we think it is best with the bed-like rectangular (MAX) shape. It does have that "crinkly sound" as a tradeoff for the low weight, but the Zenbivy Sheet tends to muffle it somewhat. If every gram matters, and you want full "EN-rated" warmth, this the the mattress to get.


An IAS teatime conversation in 1935 introduces an ongoing debate over quantum physics.
Professor Albert Einstein will attack science's important theory of quantum mechanics, a theory of which he was a sort of grandfather. He concludes that while it is "correct" it is not "complete." With two colleagues at the Institute for Advanced Study here, the noted scientist is about to report to the American Physical Society what is wrong with the theory of quantum mechanics. The quantum theory with which science predicts with some success inter-atomic happenings does not meet the requirements for a satisfactory physical theory, Professor Einstein will report in a joint paper with Dr. Boris Podolsky and Dr. N. Rosen.
In his application to the Institute in February 1934, Rosen (writing in the third person) described his interest in studying fundamental problems of physics.
While it is true that a year is a short time when one is working on such problems, it is hoped that it may at least serve to provide him with a satisfactory start along the lines mentioned so that he may be able to continue the work afterward. Although the applicant is interested in independent research, he would like to carry on his work in contact with Prof. Einstein, who has kindly given his consent.
One day, at the [Institute's] traditional 3 o'clock tea, Rosen mentioned to Einstein a fundamental issue of interpretation related to entangled wave-functions. Einstein immediately saw the implications for his long-standing disagreement with [Niels] Bohr. As they discussed the problem, Boris Podolsky joined the conversation, and later proposed to write an article. Einstein acquiesced.
I am happy to be able to tell you that I estimate Podolsky's abilities very highly. His clear mind enables him to express every matter in the field of physics in a clear and original way. In addition, he is an independent investigator of unquestionable talent. I have just finished a piece of research with him and another colleague, and have had ample opportunity to learn to appreciate Podolsky's knowledge and ability.
Podolsky went on to commit a grave blunder, in Einstein's view, when he leaked the advance report of the EPR findings published by the New York Times. The newspaper subsequently printed a statement by Einstein, in which he stated that the information "was given to you without my authority. It is my invariable practice to discuss scientific matters only in the appropriate forum and I deprecate advance publication of any announcement in regard to such matters in the secular press." According to Peres, Einstein was so upset by Podolsky's indiscretion that he never spoke with him again.


I am really looking forward to beginning this book study that Jill is hosting. It starts this coming Monday, March 1st. If you want to join us, get a book and be ready for Monday!!!!
Thanks for sharing this Shonni!
There's an award for you on my blog this morning! If anyone deserves the beautiful blogger award, it's you!

It's about the lie of war that governments and the military have elaborated over the last ten years, the technological, smart surgical war that is supposed to limit civilian deaths, thereby somehow making the killing acceptable. It suggests that the conflicts at the moment are the on-going practice of a policy of war orchestrated the US administration, both before and after 911, and nothing to do with terrorism.

SCF were in London once again to support our fave guy at the long-awaited European premiere for Me Before You! And we are so excited to be able to tell you all about it!
Although we knew that it was unlikely that Sam would make the premiere (as he is really busy filming My Cousin Rachel at the minute!) we wanted to be there, as always, to support him & his incredible work in this film! And of course, he was due to present a fan screening later on that evening! We went to the Curzon Mayfair (where the premiere was to be held) at 11am on Wed 25th May in order to get our wristbands for the premiere. Then it was a case of waiting until the excitement of the night!
When the time arrived for us to take our places at the premiere we managed to get a great spot where we could see the cars pulling up & catch all the stars as they arrived on the red carpet! We saw Jojo Moyes and told her how thrilled we were that Sam had been chosen to play Will & that we knew he would do an incredible job. We also saw the director Thea Sharrock & thanked her for choosing him for this amazing role! And, as always, we would like to thank Sam's lovely Mum & Dad (& little brother Joe!) for coming over to say hi & have a little chat with us on the way in -they are always so kind and it is always a pleasure to see them!
After all the stars went in to watch the film, it was time to wait for Sam's arrival! He posted on Instagram to say that he had just finished filming & was on his way back to London, so we took our spot next to the door and waited for our fave guy to arrive! After Sam introduced the film to the lucky fans inside the screening, he came out to see the fans patiently waiting at the front. And then it was our turn! It was so lovely to see him again! As always, he was so happy to see us there and thanked us for coming. We told him that we would always be here to support him & that we couldn't wait to see the film and that we knew he would be incredible and he was genuinely touched. It truly is a pleasure to support such a kind and talented man each & every day.
But that didn't stop him from surprising everyone at the exclusive screening afterwards! Author Jojo Moyes, director Thea Sharrock, and cast members Emilia Clarke, Jenna Coleman and Joanna Lumley also attended.
We were also very lucky to have SCF support Sam at the premiere, and will be writing an article all about our adventure very soon!
New York. The city of lights, skyscrapers, and in our case the first Me Before You premiere at AMC Loews Lincoln Square in New York City. We are so excited the day has finally come!
Sam looked sharp in a dark grey suit with a light shirt, navy tie and pocket square, while Emilia Clarke was stunning in a Chloe dress adorned with pink frills. Joining the co-stars on the red carpet, director Thea Sharrock, author Jojo Moyes and Janet McTeer, who also plays Will Traynor's mother in the film, completed the picture in complementary dresses of black and white. Smiling and laughing amongst themselves, this was a perfect start to the screenings that officially begin June 3rd (UK).
Exciting news! With thanks to Warner Bros UK we are able to share with you this exclusive clip from Me Before You! How lucky are we? Careful of spoilers, but you can watch it below. And be sure to catch the film when it hits cinemas on June 3rd!

'The Lorax': Magical visuals enchant in film
By Daniel Bergner | Mar 7, 2012
The Technicolor magic of Dr. Seuss comes alive on the silver screen once more with the lighthearted movie "The Lorax." The film made its debut on what would have been Dr. Seuss' 108th birthday and is based on his popular children's book "The Lorax." The movie, directed by Chris Renaud, tells the tale of the…


I know I'm not alone in loving mani/pedis. Before I had babies, I would go regularly - anywhere from every 2 weeks to once a month. But now that I have kids, I can count on my fingers the number of times I've been able to go to a nail salon and have my piggies pampered.
1 - A month after #1 was born to refill the no-chip I got before he was born.
That's it. And really, I can't feasibly polish my nails at home, because my kids just don't sleep long enough periods during the day for me to guarantee that they will dry. At night, I'm just too tired to wait for them to dry! I just want to go to sleep! A few months ago, I was DYING to try a new polish color that I did my nails in the car, at stop lights (just like my makeup) and just prayed they would dry before I got to my destination. (Don't worry, I opened my window to release fumes and also speed up drying time.) Now, that's seriously sad and ridiculous. But when you're a SAHM with a husband who works crazy hours, sometimes you just aren't able to leave your kids for any length of time. Which means you don't get time to pamper yourself.
But I've been really missing having my nails done. I love a good no-chip mani! I've been seeing all these press-on nails coming to the market - Nail-Hur, Huda Beauty Nails, etc. But they are expensive! Like $30 a set! But they looks so fun! So, I decided to check into what the drugstore had to offer and decided to try out KISS brand's selection. And - I'M HOOKED!!!
I have very large nail beds - they are wide and long. I was afraid these wouldn't fit, but they provide a large enough selection of nails in each package that all my nails are covered perfectly!
The first set I tried were the Everlasting French.
These lasted 5 days before I decided to remove them because we were going on vacation and I didn't feel like traveling with polish remover. But while on vacation, I picked these up at Walgreen's.
Each pack costs about $8 (the same as that bottle of nail polish, that you'll probably never get to use.) They are available at any drug store in a large variety of styles. They are cheaper than a mani! And they'll NEVER CHIP!!! (I'd always be so pissed paying $15 for a manicure only for it to chip the next day! And a no-chip is definitely no guarantee that it won't actually chip. Plus, no-chips damage your nails.) And if one happens to pop off, just glue it back on!!! They've caused no damage to my nails because I remove them properly - a quick soak in acetone to loosen the glue.
So, if you're a mama like me who gets basically zero time for pampering yourself outside of your home, this might be something to try! Let me know if you have any questions!
My baby is going to be a hashtag!


3 seasons fabric...not really a hot day shirt. Nice contrast of the blues.
Pinpoint is always one of our favorite weaves. It's dressy enough to wear in an office, but the subtle texture gives you the flexibility to dress it up or down as you please. Paired with a classic tattersall pattern—here in blue-on-blue—the Parker strikes a bold, yet conservative look. Woven in Europe, by Somelos, in 100% long-staple cotton.

Ask Jim Hill Attractions Disneyland (CA) Saturday Six Walt Disney World (FL)
SATURDAY SIX: Looking at ways Disney can introduce MARVEL characters into the theme parks
April 2, 2016 April 3, 2016 Derek Burgan	11 Comments	A Bug's Land, ant-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider-man, stan lee, stitch, Stitch's Great Escape, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
This week's SATURDAY SIX looks at Ways Disney Can Introduce MARVEL Characters into the Theme Parks. Yes, April Fool's Day was yesterday, but believe it or not the this-can't-possibly-be-real news stories started earlier last week when word started getting out that Disney was considering a Guardians of the Galaxy overlay to the Hollywood Tower of Terror attractions in Disneyland and Walt Disney World. You may be thinking, "No way! That's insane!" but on the latest episode of the Disney Dish podcast, Jim Hill and Len Testa lay out exactly why Bob Chapek (chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts) at least wanted to explore this very idea.

Public reaction to the Guardians of the Galaxy overlay was – to put it politely – overwhelmingly negative. In fact, because of the virulent reaction there is almost no chance this overlay makes it to Florida, but never say never when it comes to the Tower of Terror in Disney's California Adventure. We here at the SATURDAY SIX headquarters were at first taken aback by this idea, in part because the Tower of Terror took first place in our poll on The Greatest Attractions at Walt Disney World. But then we got to thinking. What if Disney did try to think "outside the box" when it came to introducing Marvel characters in the theme parks? More importantly, how could they do it in the cheapest way possible? We think we have some ideas. As luck would have it, six ideas. So sit back, put down your copy of the Spider-Man Clone Saga, and let's begin our countdown starting with…
# 6 – Howard the Duck takes over Stitch's Great Escape
Remember how we mentioned that Tower of Terror came in first in our expert's list of Best WDW Attractions? Well, guess which attraction took first place in our poll on Worst WDW Attractions? You guessed it: Stitch's Great Escape. What do you get to overlay one of the all time worst reviewed theme park attractions? Why one of the all time worst reviewed comic book movies. Please welcome Howard the Duck. To put into scale how poorly received Howard the Duck's movie was, consider that the recent Batman V Superman film took a beating by the critics, scoring a miserable 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Howard the Duck sits at 14% fresh.
We have to hurry on this one though. Howard the Duck had a cameo in the recent Guardians of the Galaxy movie. When the Guardians team up with the Avengers in the Infinity War (which is expected in either part 1 in May 2018 or part 2 in May 2019), he may be considered part of the Avengers extended family. If that happens, he could become off limits to the Orlando parks thanks to Universal's contract with Marvel.
# 5 – Replace Harold in The Matterhorn with THE INCREDIBLE HULK
Unlike its Florida counterpart, the Disney parks in California can use any character they want in their rides. So we're going big with this one, literally. Let's have the green goliath himself placed in Disney's Matterhorn attraction. There's even a deleted scene from The Hulk movie which Imagineers can incorporate into the ride's queue. Take it from us, this addition is going to be so popular Disney is gonna have to fast track putting a gift shop into the Matterhorn's exit just to keep up with the demand for Hulk merchandise!

# 4 – Ant-Man takes over A Bug's Land
For this one we're going to use the old "Sea Monkeys" gimmick and just sell people an idea that doesn't really exist. Guests don't actually have to "see" Ant-Man, right? He's small! Let their imagination do the work! Guests young and old will be "seeing" Ant-Man all over the park. In fact, get Disney Consumer Products on the line, we're smelling a line of Ant-Man branded magnifying glasses ($24.95 plus tax!)

# 3 – SPIDER-MAN of the Caribbean
It takes a lot to break the internet, but it happened just a few weeks ago when Iron Man shouted "Underoos!" in the latest Civil War trailer. Spider-Man was finally entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so now it's time we get him into an attraction! Unfortunately, thanks to Shanghai Disneyland, money is a little tight to give old Web Head his own attraction. So we're going to do the next best thing: shoehorn Spidey into an existing ride. Hey, it worked with Star Wars and Hyperspace Mountain!
In this incredible new overlay, Spider-Man follows guests as they traverse the classic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, making several appearances that make no-sense story wise. Wait, that's the Johnny Depp character. Spider-Man adds excitement! Spider-Man adds edge! Spider-Man adds attitude! Is he proactive? Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.
It's Spider-Man. It's Disneyland. PRINT THE MONEY!

# 2 – Enchanted Tales with DEADPOOL
It never fails. The Magic Kingdom opens and immediately there is a long wait to get into Enchanted Tales with Belle. How can you fix that? That's easy, make it R-rated. No one is better at dropping (appropriately placed) F-bombs than the star of this year's surprise movie smash hit, Deadpool. The "merc with a mouth" will surprise guests by saying he doesn't need their help in telling the story of how he met Beast. Deadpool will then go on to describe – in graphic detail – of how he shoved Gaston's head up his own butt. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll probably get a "cup check" as well on your way out.

# 1 – Stan Lee added to EVERYTHING
It wouldn't be a Marvel film without a Stan Lee cameo, and we need to continue that tradition in the parks. As the main architect of the Marvel Universe (along with other comic legends including Jack Kirby, John Romita, and Steve Ditko), Stan Lee will become the new "Hidden Mickey" of the Disney parks!

SPECIAL (NEXT LEVEL BANANAS) MARVEL AFTER CREDITS SURPRISE!
Tim Grassey of WDWThemeParks.com was inspired by the idea of Marvel being introduced into the Disney parks in the craziest way possible. Together he worked with noted theme park rabble rouser Josh Fenton to create an idea so strange that we demanded that both take an immediate drug test.
William Dafoe as Marilyn Monroe on Hollywood Blvd. (photo by Josh Fenton)
Here we have William Dafoe in his character of Green Goblin in the film Spider-Man. No, not the new Spider-man, and not the last Spider-man, the one before that. Dafoe is also inhabiting the character of Marilyn Monroe, something we saw in a Snickers commercial that debuted on the Superbowl. What makes this gag even weirder than it already is to begin with is the simple fact that the Marilyn Monroe walk around character is at Universal Studios Florida, not DHS. Grassey and Your Humble Author have had heated debates for hours over the merits of this joke, but we leave it to you – Dear Reader – on whether or not it should have bumped something out of the Top Six choices above. Weigh in with your thoughts in the comments below.

I recently proposed a Hunger Games on the set of Fantasmic to sort out the "Citizens Of Hollywood" redundancies, on TouringPlans chat, but no-one laughed.
Derek BurganPost author
Shanghai Disneyland took care of those redundancies (and more many more as well). The odds were forever not in our favor stateside.
Now my comment just looks weird because it was actually a reply to a now seemingly deleted comment, so I'm just left hanging…as ever.
Does it look weirder than Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin AS Marilyn Monroe? I THINK NOT!
You're right, his body is all ready for action, but face says "It's nearly mothers birthday, but I won't buy card…just yet" teasing himself with the idea of not buying her a card at all.

Derek, thank you and your "usual gang of idiots" for working on at least of dozen levels of strange and hilarious to make your valid points. I think you were Uncle Albert in a previous life.
Every column's a gem, but this one ranks way up there with the Disney Trash Heap.
I'd tell Len to give you a well-earned raise, but we both know you'd waste it on ceramic MM toothbrush holders. :-/
I hope they leave the more classic themes alone, like Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. If they want to turn Hollywood Studios into part-Star Wars and part-Marvel, fine. I wouldn't go, but at least they wouldn't ruin the other parks. I'm already a little weary about the idea of Avatar at Animal Kingdom, but I guess I'll give it a chance.

TOP TEN RE-THEMING IDEAS FOR WALT DISNEY WORLD ATTRACTIONS
10. "Space Mountain" becomes "Lost Luggage Limbo" where guests are hurtled around the Orlando Airport in four-person Samsonite vehicles.
9. "Jungle Cruise" can be retrofitted along the lines of HGTV's "Plan You Own Disney Back Yard" program. Guest receive complimentary Venus fly traps at the ride's end.
8. "Stitch's Great Escape" takes a page from reality TV as the audience beholds the teletransportation of Snooki from the New Jersey shore to Orlando. Simply imagine jello shots in the dark!
7. Just switch the soundtracks for "Small World" and "Haunted Mansion."
6. Under a new marketing agreement with the makers of Ty-D-Bowl toilet cleaner, Mad Tea Party becomes a tribute to effective bathroom hygiene.
5. "The Tower of Terror" takes on a festive French flair when the fast dropping elevators become "The Guillotines of Robespierre!"
4. The ever-maligned Mission: Space takes on a new guise as the producers of Cuisinart food processors present "If We Were Food."
3. All propane supplies are interrupted as Tomorrowland Speedway becomes "Gridlock!!"
2. The National Rifle Association funds the merging of the "Frontierland Arcade" and "Country Bears Jamboree" as they become "Varmints!!" a fast-shooting game of skill and cunning. Big Al's song becomes surprisingly prescient.
1. Three words: "Soarin' over Detroit."
Excellent ideas! I propose a 5th gate, the Tragic Kingdom, for your attractions.
11. "it's a small world" with paintball guns. Or at least the Buzz Lightyear vehicles.

Dona Bertarelli (also known as Donata Guichard Bertarelli, Donata Bertarelli Späth, Donata Bertarelli Spaeth) (born 1968) is a Swiss businesswoman of Italian origin. She is co-president of the Bertarelli Foundation. She is also a sailor, having won the 2010 Bol d'Or Mirabaud and, with her team Spindrift Racing, the Rolex Fastnet in 2013. In the same year, she and her team also broke the record for the America Discovery Route. In 2020, she became an adviser to UNCTAD.

Childhood and education
Bertarelli was born in Rome in 1968. She is the daughter of Fabio Bertarelli. She and her brother Ernesto inherited Serono, a biotechnology company. Serono was founded in 1906 in Rome and was the building block of the family's wealth. The family now has a number of activities and investments, with interests in areas such as finance, real estate, health, sports, hospitality or agriculture. According to the magazine Forbes, in 2011 the family ranked as the 81st worldwide in terms of wealth.

Bertarelli has a BSc from Boston University's College of Communication.

Business
Bertarelli was active in Serono, the family business, and from 1992 to 1997 was Executive Director, Public and Professional Affairs, where she established the Serono Symposi and the Serono Foundation. The company was sold to Merck KGaA at the beginning of 2007.

The five star Grand Hôtel Park in Gstaad was taken over by Bertarelli in 2003. Bertarelli appointed hotelier Grace Leo as CEO of Ledunfly Hospitality in March 2017.

In 2020 she became a special adviser to UNCTAD in June 2020.

Philanthropy
After her father died, in 1999 Bertarelli and her brother founded the Bertarelli Foundation to promote the sharing and development of scientific, social and economic knowledge in the field of infertility. For ten years, Bertarelli was Chairman of the Foundation.

An article on the need for blue recovery sustainability, for which Bertarelli was co-author, was published in July 2020. Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretary-General of UNCTAD and Berarelli encouraged countries around the world to explore and expand the "Blue economy" a month later. In November 2020, Bertarelli praised the decision to protect the waters of the archipelago, which was made by the Island Council of Tristan da Cunha.

In 2021, the Bertarelli Rare Cancers Fund supported USD 15 million in research projects and community building.

Bertarelli is an ambassador for the Swiss transfusion charity Ma Vie Ton Sang  and is a supporter of the World Health Organization's 'Go Red for Women' campaign. She is also a godmother to the Womanity charity (formerly Smiling Children).

Sailing
Bertarelli is an avid sailor and since 2007 has raced with her team, Spindrift Racing, in the monotype multihull regattas on Lake Léman with her Décision 35 catamaran, Ladycat. Bertarelli and her team won the Bol d'Or Mirabaud in 2010. Bertarelli was the first helmswoman to win this race since its inception in 1939.

In January 2013, Bertarelli bought a Maxi Trimaran called Maxi Banque Populaire V for her Spindrift racing team. In the same year, and with the boat now named Maxi Spindrift 2, she co-skippered the team to victory in the 45th Rolex Fastnet and also set a new record for the America Discovery Route, beating the time set by Franck Cammas in 2007 by more than 20 hours.

In August 2015, Dona Bertarelli's Spindrift 2 defended her title by taking line honors at the 46th Rolex Fastnet race.  Later that year, on 22 November, Dona Bertarelli, with Yann Guichard and their crew, left Ushant (a French island off the northwest corner of Brittany) on Spindrift 2, attempting to break the record for a crewed non-stop circumnavigation (the Jules Verne Trophy). While they did not break the record, Bertarelli became the fastest woman to sail around the world.

Jews speak of blessings. It's not the way of the Jewish people or the prophets of G-d to curse or to threaten.
The prophets may sometimes warn, and plead with the people to return to their Father in Heaven to avoid negative predictions (prophecy).
We may, G-d forbid, see that Jews were persecuted in a place and that place had a 'turn of luck'. Or see that the Jews left or fled from a place, and it changed from a place of influence and power to otherwise.
Yet we don't focus on such things nor point them out. The only time to focus on and study the opposite of blessings is on Tisha B'Av.
Otherwise, we focus on blessings. We offering blessing and, through our Father in Heaven, bring blessings with us.
That is the way of the Jew, the path of blessings.
Shavua Tov, may you be blessed with a good week. And may the Jews of Southern Israel be safe and at peace.

Limited Thiago Silva and David Luiz Defensive Pairing Exposed as PSG Lose Again
Jonathan Johnson@@Jon_LeGossipTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistDecember 14, 2014
David Vincent/Associated Press
Paris Saint-Germain were unbeaten in all competitions this season coming into Wednesday's final UEFA Champions League Group F fixture against Barcelona. By the end of the week, the French champions had lost consecutive games for the first time since April after going down 1-0 to Ligue 1 rivals EA Guingamp in Brittany.
Jeremy Pied's 11th minute header was enough to secure the Breton side all three points at Stade du Roudourou, and PSG can have few complaints about the score.
Laurent Blanc's men were poor almost from the start of the game in Guingamp. Aside from Edinson Cavani's early lobbed effort that hit the crossbar, Les Parisiens were woeful and barely threatened Jonas Lossl's goal.
When they did, the Dane was in superb form to deny a late volleyed effort from the off-colour Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
However, aside from the future of PSG coach Blanc, the main talking point at the end of the game and a dark week for the capital club will be the deterioration of Thiago Silva and David Luiz's central defensive partnership.
The Brazilian pair had a week to forget as they saw Barcelona's fearsome front three score three times against them at Camp Nou and Guingamp take that tally to four with their goal at Stade du Roudourou.
Luiz was lambasted for his performance against Barca, while Silva also came in for scrutiny because of a below-par display. However, the majority of the questions post-Guingamp will be directed towards the latter.
Christophe Ena/Associated Press
While Luiz was poor against Jocelyn Gourvennec's heroic Guingamp side, his errors were not as costly as Silva's.
The PSG captain was muscled out of the way in the build-up to Pied's goal, and although Blaise Matuidi should also shoulder some responsibility for not doing more to clear the ball, the bulk of the criticism will rightly focus on the Brazilian.
Prior to the Barcelona game, it seemed as if the Silva-Luiz defensive partnership was a source of strength for PSG. The pair had kept five clean sheets from the seven games in all competitions they had played together since Silva's return from a lengthy injury lay-off.
However, the two games that have put Blanc's men under the most pressure since the Brazilian's return have seen them crack.
There are other areas of the team that need looking at after some weak performances, notably Thiago Motta's defensive midfield position and the attacking unit after some wasteful recent displays from Edinson Cavani and Lucas Moura in particular.
The defence is now the most worrying position, though.
Following the 1-0 loss to Guingamp, PSG no longer have the joint best defensive record in Ligue 1. AS Saint-Etienne have only shipped 12 goals, while the capital outfit have now leaked 13. Blanc's men have now conceded in each of their last three games in Le Championnat.
Gregory van der Wiel and Maxwell should not be exempt from blame; the two full-backs have also contributed towards this new-found fragility at the back that the champions are experiencing. That does not mean it is any less Silva and Luiz's concern, though.
Both central defenders should now fear for their starting roles, considering the excellent early season form displayed by young Brazilian international Marquinhos. Silva has looked a shadow of the strong, influential character he has been in the past, while Luiz looks lost without a dominant partner.
Silva came in for severe criticism prior to the Guingamp game and will surely be savaged once again as the press seek a scapegoat for PSG's abrupt loss of form. However, dropping the No. 2 could have a disastrous impact on his morale when you take into consideration the fact that he has also lost the Brazilian national team captaincy inside the same year.
Manu Fernandez/Associated Press
Instead, this exposure of the team's defensive frailty should be used to address a few other weaknesses.
Motta's continual poor performances just in front of the defence is still a greater cause for concern, and the Italian could make way for Luiz to move forward and Marquinhos to come in alongside Silva.
That way, Blanc gives Marquinhos another chance to strengthen his claims from earlier in the season, taking Luiz out of the defence and into the midfield, where he can arguably be more effective.
After such a disastrous week, Le President cannot afford to fail to react immediately. PSG travel to Corsica to face AC Ajaccio in a sticky Coupe de la Ligue last 16 clash on Wednesday. Should the unthinkable happen and Les Parisiens lose, Blanc could find himself out of a job before the end of the year.

Q: Pandas DataFrame subselection The code below shows what I would like to do. Is it possible to do it without the iteritems iteration?
Basically I have a DataFrame df with a MultiIndex, and I have a smaller, boolean DataFrame sdf, without the MultiIndex. I would to use sdf as a preselection/mask to set values in df.
mi = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([['A', 'B'], [1, 2]])
df = pd.DataFrame([[0, 1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 4]], columns=mi, index=[0, 1])
print(df)
sdf = pd.DataFrame([[True, False], [False, True]], columns=['A', 'B'])
print(sdf)
for name, value in sdf.iteritems():
        df.loc[value, name] = 10

output:
   A     B

Our study shows hitherto unrecognized associations between male circumcision and sexual difficulties in both men and women. While confirmatory findings in other settings are warranted, notably from areas where neonatal circumcision is more common, our findings may inform doctors and parents of baby boys for whom the decision of whether or not to circumcise is not dictated by religious or cultural traditions. Additionally, since it appears from our study that both men and women may have fewer sexual problems when the man is uncircumcised, and because preputial plasties may sometimes serve as suitable alternatives to standard circumcision, our study may stimulate a more conservative, tissue-preserving attitude in situations where foreskin pathology requires surgical intervention.
This work was carried out without project-specific funding. We thank Dr Christian Graugaard for valuable input during the construction of the sexual health questions in the Health and Morbidity Study questionnaire.
M.F. has been an author of articles on the possible role of male circumcision in relation to penile cancer risk and has taken part in national debates about the ethics surrounding male and female circumcision. M.L. and M.G. declare that they have no conflicts of interest.

New Mortal Kombat Movie Will Have Brutal Fatalities
For all those who have played Mortal Kombat know that Fatalities are an essential part of fighting and will be featured in the new movie.
In the 90s the story of Mortal Kombat on several occasions, but its quality was quite poor. Now they will do a new restart and it seems that it will be as brutal as the video game. Since Fatalities will be a very important part of the movie.
According to the actor Lewis Tan (Deadpool 2, Wu Assassins), who will appear in Mortal Kombat in an unknown role, the film will feature the video game's famous Fatalities. Apparently they are brutal and intense enough to make Tan feel nauseous. This was recently explained by the actor in an interview:
Let me say this, there were a few days on set that I felt sick. I'm not kidding. They don't joke ... They didn't stop. "

Directed by rookie Simon McQuoid, the Mortal Kombat movie features a spectacular cast led by Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi / Scorpion, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Mehcad Brooks as Major Jackson 'Jax' Briggs, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Josh Lawson as Kano, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han / Sub-Zero, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, Max Huang as Kung Lao, Elissa Cadwell as Nitara and there will also be Lewis Tan and Matilda Kimber in unknown roles.
For now few details of the plot of Mortal Kombat are known, but the presence as producer of James wan (Aquaman, SAW), makes it have its quality seal. Therefore, it is sure that it will far exceed the adaptations of the 90s and will delight video game fans.
