When I saw this, I had to think:
"Ho ho ho! You want a gift from Sears? Tough cookies, little one! I'm under contract!"
Minus the contracts.

I picked these boots up at Johnny Ruth/Living Planet in downtown St. John's NL.
All marketing gimmickry aside, these canadian owned, proudly and fairly african made boots, are pretty badass. They feel extremely well made, and i love the look of the red edging on the leather. I hope they stand up to the test of time.

Choosing the best words for a concept makes a huge difference in its impact. Vulnerable places need to be protected and fortified; openness isn’t always the best policy — should anyone suffer the things they know from experience will wound them? But presence… presence simply describes being here in the current moment, not resisting it based on predictions or fears, seeing it with all the wisdom of our previous experiences and making our decisions naturally – without brash judgment or paralyzing overanalysis.

At the end of World War II, Cessna found itself with few military contracts, though the company was not overly concerned--its bread and butter had always been the small civil aircraft market. As a way to reenter that market, Cessna began designing the Model 195 before the war had ended.
The Cessna 195 was meant to turn heads: it was loosely based on the prewar Cessna 165, but was far more streamlined, and most importantly, built out of aluminum rather than wood. This made it a much stronger aircraft, albeit a more expensive one. A radial engine was included for plenty of power, which had the added effect of Cessna using a larger fuselage to accomodate the engine; the larger fuselage meant for more passengers, and a Model 195 could carry four passengers in comfort. The high-mounted, unbraced wing also left the fuselage open for the passengers, and offered high lift: Cessna would like the wing design so much that it would use a similar design for its later aircraft.
The Model 195 was clearly meant for the high end of the general aviation market, and though it was an excellent aircraft, it came with a high price tag. This would somewhat limit sales, though 1180 were still produced; about 90 aircraft were built as LC-126s for the US military, mainly the US Army. After the Model 195, Cessna would move away from bulky radials to more aerodynamic, if not as powerful inline engines. Production ended in 1954 as Cessna turned to what would be one of the most successful civil aircraft in history, the Cessna 150.
The term "so well polished you could shave in it" is often an exaggeration, but not in the case of N4403C, a Cessna 195 based in Bozeman, Montana and originally built in 1952. While I didn't shave using its reflection, I did check my sunscreen! This gorgeous aircraft was in for the annual Three Forks Fly-In in August 2019.
Smart Contract Analytics (SCA) Platform is based on AI / ML and specifically uses NLP and pattern recognition to process the contracts and extract the metadata. The platform is hosted on the AWS cloud that takes advantage of all security features that AWS provides along with the high availability and scalability features with GDPR compliances.
Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning capabilities:
The SCA Platform uses Deep learning Neural Network models like Bi-LSTM, CNN, and other models that leverage state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) based modeling techniques such as Word2Vec and Bi-directional Encoder Representations with Transformers to develop a semantic understanding of the document contents and further extract relevant entities and clauses.
Product features:
1) NLP and deep learning techniques for extracting metadata
2) Export the extracted data to Excel or client desired format and push the extracted data into any CLM or downstream system
3) Support of foreign languages (currently supported languages include Spanish and German)
and rest of the languages are in the planned roadmap
4) Generate dynamic ML models based on the contract type
5) The Platform has adaptors to various data sources to obtain legacy documents (FTP, Google Drive, SharePoint, dropbox, box, S3, and others, etc.)
6) The Platform can segregate the contracts based on the type of the contract (i.e. MSA, NDA, and SOW, etc.)
7) Ability to rename the contracts – standardize naming conventions if needed.
8) Document OCR capability with the ability to convert images, unsearchable pdf and scanned documents into text.
9) Metadata configurable
10) Integrated Quality Control tools for verification and validation of extracted clauses/metadata.
11) Compare two executed contracts of the same type to show the differences
12) Compare executed contracts with the standard template at a section/clause level
13) Notifications / Alerts engine that sends out notifications to email/text messages ( for example contracts expiring in 30/60/90 days, contracts that have an “Auto Renew” clause or Contracts that are not countersigned, and several others based on the configured attributes.
14) Show all the contracts executed with a specific Vendor ( or by account) in a hierarchical manner
15) Hierarchical mapping of the contracts assuming enough linkage attributes are available within the executed contracts or tracked in a CLM system
16) Open API that can be integrated with any 3rd party systems
Analytics capabilities:
The Smart Contract Analytics Platform comes with the following out of the box analytics capabilities based on the metadata extracted from the documents:
• number of contracts that are coming up for renewal by period (30 /60/90 days)
• Number of Contracts with Net payment terms as 30 days, 45 days, and 90 days, etc.
• Number of SOW’s / MSAs / Other Types of Contracts by the supplier
• Show contracts by the specified metadata (ex: “tell me how many contracts have clause ‘Indemnity’.”)
• number of contracts that have the “Auto Renew” option
• number of contracts that have an Insurance Liability clause with a specified $ amount
• Several others based on metadata and meta fields.
“What’s the happiest moment in your life?”
“Probably like recently 6 months ago to be honest bruv. Like before, I would have said like (laughs) when my military service was over. Coz it was only 6 months but it felt like years, you know what I mean. But now it’s a whole different story coz, now like, I’ve lived that moment where, you’re in a situation, where it’s one of them ones where you like you’re stuck, you can’t move forward. But there’s something there for you to grab, but you got a chain on your leg you can’t go forward like coz. I got married, I got like I got engaged init and basically, like my misses she was, everything like the engagement, the wedding and that was all ready, what date was planned, everything. And obviously I never had no job, I had no money, I never had no job, I never had nothing and everything was just planned out and what, this is why what I said to you earlier. Like it’s a blessing fam coz the second, like you get into that, you put yourself in that situation when you’re like, when you have to do something, you need to get your arse, just brake that chain, and just move forward. Like it just, you just, it just happens, and also Allah helps you coz you’re praying and that. You’re just praying, praying, praying and just being patient coz patience obviously is a virtue, you know what I mean. You need to, you need to just wait and that’s what I was doing. I was waiting, waiting, waiting and 2 months before my wedding. I got this full time job, and obviously, I got my first payment, and then went straight to turkey and that was it. It was like, that first month, my first pay, is usually like in our culture you got to give that first pay to your mumzi or dadzi just so like the baraket (blessings) of your money is like, it goes up like it’s more valued you know. And obviously instead of doing something, instead of doing that, it still went for something good which was for the wedding. Coz my mumzi and dadzi was going to pay for everything anyway and obviously, I was always like praying ah I wanna help them out, I don’t want them to spend any money and that, so basically that was it yeah. I just I’ve just, I gave all of my money there, put it down, put my head down, got married and now I’m happy and obviously if you ask me the same question, like 3 or 4 months later. I’d probably say the happiest time for me is, I got my job, I applied for a visa and the visa has got accepted so my wife would be here. That I could bring my wife here and just start my own life, you know what I mean, and yeah that’s it.”

Siding is a key part of your home. Not only does it keep out the harsh Nebraska weather; it serves an important aesthetic purpose as well. Not every siding material is created equal. Some are extra durable, some require less maintenance – so choosing the right type is an important decision.

They say there’s nothing new in marketing, but just take a look at how MAC Contracting approaches its business…
In the past eight months, Marcus Clay, the Managing Director of Tamworth based MAC Contracting, has added two new Scania 340hp eight-wheelers plus two Scania Approved Used Trucks - both R-cabbed 360hp tippers - to his rapidly growing fleet.
“And we won’t be stopping there”, he adds. “We’ve taken a 400hp 6x4 T truck from Keltruck and I’m looking to significantly build up the fleet in the coming months and years”.
Since its formation in 1997, MAC Contracting - which is involved in servicing the road-building industry - has been carving itself something of a reputation: In an extremely short space of time, the company has succeeded in winning business with all the major road-planing companies in the West Midlands and now works in close partnership with them. So how have they done it?
“It’s actually very simple”, explains Mr Clay. “We just give the haulage away!” And he’s serious, as in fact MAC Contracting does just that. For collecting and hauling away the spoil from planed roads, the company charges no fee. It’s income comes at the other end of the line - re-selling the material on for re use in road building.
“I suppose its something of a unique proposition”, says Mr Clay, “but one that is, of course, very well received. Also, it means that we are operating environmentally consciously as well, re-cycling whatever we can for use a second time around”.
