A Texas bill banning drag and drag shows, painted as a "sexually oriented business" This is TX HB643 (above).

HB643 also lists what is considered "adult" business, such are reasonable until section 2 B. "A nightclub, restaurant, or other commercial enterprise that provides for an audience of two or more individuals a drag performance." (Patterson)

One can fairly assume Texas government officials believe drag shows are inherently sexual, especially when section 1 is read.

Section 1 Ai "Live nude entertainment or live nude performances." and Aii "a drag performance; and authorizes on premises-consumption of alcoholic beverages, regardless of whether the consumption of alcoholic beverages in under a license or permit issued under the alcoholic beverages code."

Section 243.002 ,part 1, also attacks gender expression in this context "Drag Performance, means a performance in which a performer's gender identity that is different than the performer's gender assigned at birth using clothing, makeup, or other physical markers and sings, lip syncs, dances, or otherwise performs before an audience for entertainment." This clause may theoretically also be used to attack all performers that differ from their gender assigned at birth, which is concerning.

Texas has no idea what they're talking about, sadly.

CLM Technology: How to Accelerate Contract Execution

Contracts are essential, but they should not impede business deals. Business teams work hard on deals, and it can be frustrating when contract execution holds up revenue or other benefits. Every business recognizes the need for fast and efficient contract execution. But how can this be achieved?

The answer lies in Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) technology. Recent market reports show that companies using an end-to-end contract management system like smartContract can cut contract execution time by up to 42%.

In this post, we explore three specific ideas to accelerate contract execution using a CLM system:

Self-Service Contract Creation

In many organizations, when a business team needs a contract, they send an email to the legal department. The legal department goes back and forth with business, asks questions, and determines the terms and provisions to include in the contract.

A CLM system can automate this process. For common contracts, business users can go online, fill in the details of the deal, and answer a set of questions. The CLM system can determine the best template to use and automatically generate the first draft. The business user can send this draft to the counterparty for negotiation. The legal department can only be involved if there are significant changes suggested by the counterparty.

This self-service model speeds up the contracting process, reduces the burden on the legal department, and allows them to focus on more critical negotiations and legal matters.

Workflow for Contract Approval

A contract may require review and approval from multiple stakeholders. This is probably the biggest bottleneck in contract execution.

A CLM system's workflow capabilities can significantly cut contract cycle time with rules-based review and approval matrices. The system can identify the right stakeholders and create review tasks for them. The system can enforce timely review by setting expected turnaround times and using reminders, notifications, and escalation mechanisms.

Playbook-based Contract Negotiation

A playbook describes a company's negotiation strategies, standard clauses, negotiation boundaries, and non-negotiable positions.

A CLM system's machine learning capabilities can analyze existing contracts and extract the company's agreed positions. This information can be used to develop the playbook.

Once the playbook is ready, the CLM system can make it readily available to all stakeholders in the contracting process. This alignment among internal stakeholders can help in faster decision-making on conflicting terms proposed by the counterparty. It eliminates bottlenecks and speeds up negotiation and contract closure.

A CLM system can enable fast and efficient contract execution, allowing business teams to reap deal benefits without delays. When implemented correctly, a CLM system can transform every stage of the contracting process, allowing more accurate and consistent contracts, reducing risks, and ensuring greater compliance.

beauty and brains⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🎀☕️

in this post we'll talk about how to implement continual learning into ur life and how to nurture ur intellect and ur beauty, like elle woods for example…💬🎀

MINDSET ;

first off lets take a look at ur mindset. you need to be willing to learn and if ur stubborn then ur not gonna allow urself to learn and become smarter so for that reason mindset is the perfect place to start when ur starting ur beauty and brains journey.

perspective is EVERYTHING when it comes to learning. if u have the belief that "i hate math so much, im so not good at it etc etc" you're already setting urself up for failure. remember that we are in charge of our own learning.

figure out the sources of ur limiting beliefs about urself and challenge them. ask urself "why do i think im bad at math (or any other subject)" and the answers that u give urself, CHALLENGE them.

UNDERSTAND THAT ;

before we go any further understand that no subject is too complicated to learn and if ur experiencing that then ur learning it the wrong way…💬🎀

if ur having a hard time understanding a subject in school because of the way ur teacher explains it, ask another teacher at ur school and if that doesn't work turn to online resources OR just ask chat gpt. i ask chat gpt to help me break down math problems and explain how to do them and it works rly good for me.

READING ;

from my own experience i feel like reading is so so important. bcuz reading helps u to expand ur vocabulary and improves comprehension and so much more. personally i love to read so this isnt hard for me to do but if u originally dont like to read here are some ways to romanticize reading.

♡ start with topics/genres that u love

♡ set small goals (like reading for 5-10 minutes a day) and then building upon those goals

♡ experiment with physical books, e-books etc to figure out what u like best

WHAT U WATCH ;

i watch a lot of discussion based youtube videos, and video essays, documentaries etc and i have learned so much from them and they're actually one of my favorite ways to learn things. so i highly recommend watching some. watching things like this is so important because they provide a deeper understanding of real-world issues, cultures, and events that we might not encounter in our daily lives.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND ;

understanding what u read and what u learn is so so important. the way i make sure that i understand what im learning is through writing papers. writing papers about things that interest me or things that i learn has helped me to retain what i learn instead of forgetting it all.

another key thing to remember is PRACTICE. if u dont practice what u learn you'll literally forget it. use everything that u learn and if u can't physically use it, imagine urself using it.

MAKE IT A GAME ;

this is where the beauty aspect of the phrase "beauty and brains" comes into play. make learning like a GAME. i think thats how u get smart the best. just implement it into ur daily life.

for example if u have a habit of watching an episode of ur favorite show a day (or multiple) between episodes read for x amount of time. if u go for a run everyday listen to an audio book whilst running. think of that scene in the movie legally blonde where elle was reading her textbook while working out.

Famous actor Steve Harrington known wife guy. Spends decades of interviews talking about his wife Robin and all their misadventures—a lot of those stories also include their friend and next door neighbor, Corroded Coffin frontman, Eddie Munson. Then with the advent of social media a lot more people are posting about him being seen with Eddie, and are convinced that Steve and Eddie are cheating. This makes Steve have to out himself and explain that he and Robin are in a lavender marriage. (Not that it wasn’t an open secret in Hollywood especially with how close Robin and international pop sensation Chrissy Cunningham are)

Non compete clauses are out for the vast majority of game devs (everyone except people in policy-making positions who make over $151,164 per year)! This is fantastic news! It means that a lot more devs can start their own companies or go to work for indy companies ^_^ this should spawn more indy games by like, a lot.

Now they they need is a union.
