Q: actualizar campos en un dataframe desde otro comparando columnas Estoy intentando actualizar varios campos de un dataframe con valores de otro dataframe donde coindida un valor de otra columna
pongo ejemplo
Este seria el Dataframe a actualizar
df_a =
  valor1    valor2     valor3    id_valor1    id_valor2    id_valor3
  V_1_C      V_2_B      v_3_A        na          na             na
  V_1_A      V_2_B      v_3_A        na          na             na
  V_1_A      V_2_C                   na          na             na
  V_1_B      V_2_D      v_3_A        na          na             na
  V_1_B                              na          na             na
  V_1_B      V_2_B      v_3_B        na          na             na

Este el de los datos con los id's
df_b =
  id       val
  V_1_A     0
  V_1_B     1
  V_1_C     2
  V_2_B     3
  V_2_C     4
  V_2_D     5
  V_3_A     6
  V_3_B     7

Y me este seria el resultado esperado
df_a =
  valor1    valor2     valor3    id_valor1    id_valor2    id_valor3
  V_1_C      V_2_B      v_3_A        2           3              6
  V_1_A      V_2_B                   0           3              na
  V_1_A      V_2_C                   0           4              na
  V_1_B      V_2_D      v_3_A        1           5              6
  V_1_B                              1           na             na
  V_1_B      V_2_B      v_3_B        1           3              7

Lo intento hacer con un merge, dentro de un for para hacerlo columna a columna
#cat list es la lista de valores (valor1 valor2 valor3)
for cat in cats_list:
    nombre='id_' + cat
    df1[nombre] = pd.merge(left=df1,right=df2, how='left', left_on=cat, right_on='id')[['val']]

esto funciona bien la primera iteracion, pero la segunda mete valores donde no corresponde.
Como si funciona es con un iterrows, pero tarda mucho.
¿Alguna idea ?
Gracias por adelantado

A: No hace falta complicar todo usando un merge, podemos llevar esto a lo más simple. ¿Cómo lo haríamos para una sola columna?, para esto podemos ayudarnos de un filtro típico de pandas.
df[df["col"] == "valor"]

Esto nos dará todos los resultados que, en el df la columna col sea igual a "valor", esto es básicamente lo que necesitas, perooo.... necesitamos hacerlo para cada uno de los valores de cada una de las columnas. Para estas iteraciones existe el método apply() de los DataFrames, este método permite pasarle una función para realizar una acción más amplia. Sintaxis:
df.apply(func)

Mayormente se le pasa una función anónima o lambda function (función lambda), cuya sintaxis es:
lambda parámetros: operación

En el caso de apply() el parámetro que se le pasa a la función es el valor de una columna (o fila). Armando la función quedaría algo así:
df["valor1"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x])

Aquí escogemos la columna valor1 de nuestro DataFrame (que sería el df_a en tu caso) y utilizamos el método apply() donde le pasamos una función, la operación que se realizará en este caso será un filtro, donde obtendremos todos los valores del df_b que sean iguales al valor obtenido (variable x), esto nos dará un resultado algo así:
    id  val
2   V_1_C   2

Pero nosotros solo queremos el valor ubicado en la columna val, por lo que tendremos que hacer df["valor1"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x]["val"]). Si imprimimos eso,  obtenemos:
0   1   2
0   NaN NaN 2.0
1   0.0 NaN NaN
2   0.0 NaN NaN
3   NaN 1.0 NaN
4   NaN 1.0 NaN
5   NaN 1.0 NaN

Esto se debe a que el resultado del filtro aplicado es una Serie y no es un valor numérico en si, para ello utilizamos el método item() el cual nos permite obtener el valor, quedando df["valor1"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x]["val"].item()). Con eso ya obtendríamos lo que esperamos:
0    2
1    0
2    0
3    1
4    1
5    1

Esto es prácticamente todo lo que necesitamos, excepto que hay veces en los que los valores de valorx está vacío, por ejemplo en la columna valor2 y valor3. Para estos casos simplemente hace falta un if en la función lambda, pero dado que todo se trabaja en una sola línea utilizaremos la sintaxis de un operador ternario.
<valor_verdader> if <condicón> else <valor_falso>

Para la condición estableceremos si el valor está en el df_b, si está obtenemos el valor (con la expresión de antes) y si no está, le pondremos un valor por defecto, por ejemplo "NaN". Para saber si el valor existe utilizaremos el método isin() donde le pasaremos una lista con los valores a verificar (una lista de un valor), pero dado que habrá un problema de ambigüedad para pandas tendremos que usar el método any() lo que nos devuelve True si alguno de los valores es True, de lo contrario False, quedando así:
<valor_verdadero> if df_b["id"].isin([x]).any() else "NaN"

La expresión completa quedaría así:
df["valor1"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x]["val"].item() if df_b["id"].isin([x]).any() else "NaN")

Teniendo este valor solo tenemos que guardarlo en la columna que deseamos.
df["id_valor1"] = df["valor1"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x]["val"].item() if df_b["id"].isin([x]).any() else "NaN")

#lo mismo para los otros valores
df["id_valor2"] = df["valor2"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x]["val"].item() if df_b["id"].isin([x]).any() else "NaN")
df["id_valor3"] = df["valor3"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x]["val"].item() if df_b["id"].isin([x]).any() else "NaN")

Sin embargo vemos que hay mucho código repetido y podemos simplificarlo con un simple for dado que el nombre de las columnas solo varía el número.
for i in range(1,4): #empieza en 1 y termina en 3
    df[f"id_valor{i}"] = df[f"valor{i}"].apply(lambda x: df_b[df_b["id"] == x]["val"].item() if df_b["id"].isin([x]).any() else "NaN")

Si volvemos a imprimir el DataFrame obtendremos esto:

valor1
valor2
valor3
id_valor1
id_valor2
id_valor3

0
V_1_C
V_2_B
v_3_A
2
3
NaN

1
V_1_A
V_2_B
v_3_A
0
3
NaN

2
V_1_A
V_2_C
na
0
4
NaN

3
V_1_B
V_2_D
v_3_A
1
5
NaN

4
V_1_B

1
NaN
NaN

5
V_1_B
V_2_B
v_3_B
1
3
NaN

En la columna id_valor3 salen todos NaN por que te haz equivocado en el nombre y has puesto las primeras letras en minúsculas y no en mayúsculas, esto me lleva a aclarar que los valores que quieras comprobar del df_a deben estar igual que en el df_b, así que ten cuidado :D.

A: Me respondo a mi mismo.
El problema es que hay ids repetidos en el df_b con distinto val.
Esto correspon de a un catalogo y el df_b son las categorias y estan anidadas como padre-hijo, y en este modelo de datos que han implementado hay casos con 1 hijo para varios padres
Quedaria tal que así
y asi a la hora de comparar el V_2_D tendria dos ids distintos,y por eso falla.
df_b =
  id       val  padre
  V_1_A     0    na
  V_1_B     1    0
  V_1_C     2    0
  V_2_B     3    na
  V_2_C     4    3
  V_2_D     5    4
  V_2_D     6    3
  V_3_A     7    na
  V_3_B     8    7

Lo que es unico es la tupla con padre hijo.
Una estructura un poco sin sentido, pero esta montado asi
gracias

Hoboken, NJ based artist, Chesleigh Meade, has been creating art for as long as she can remember. Growing up with artists in her family it seemed only natural for her to also pursue a career in the arts. Though she started out with the more traditional route of drawing and painting, she soon realized that she wanted to expand her techniques. Slowly she began making paper collages and then moved on again, wanting to mix it up even more. Lately most of her work has been focusing more on mixed media, bordering on assemblage. When creating she loves to use non traditional materials and to transform them into something else. One of her biggest influences has been her journey through motherhood. Becoming a mother at a young age and navigating not only the creative side of herself but also just everyday life and the different prejudices, struggles, and rewards that it offers has played a huge part in her growth as an artist. Chesleigh is not only exploring and experiencing motherhood in this modern time but also expressing in modern art.

Blind Malian's Amadou & Mariam staged their concert in complete darkness. The effect was to heighten the listening experience of their uplifting music. I could have done without the life story narrative, which was a bit naff, but otherwise it was an extraordinary experience.
Roy Harper is another of those artists who are part of the soundtrack of my life and Stormcock one of my very favourite albums. I haven't kept up with his later work and haven't seen him for some time, but his 70th birthday concert at RFH was irresistible. It proved to be deeply moving – he appeared to be 'signing off' and almost cracked up a few times. The 8-piece brass and string ensemble meant he focused mostly on my personal Roy Harper period and I loved it. When Jimmy Page guested for the double-guitar fireworks (on 5th November!) of That Same Old Rock (he played on the album) it was absolutely magical and the hall erupted.
I was amazed when they decided on Hammersmith Apollo for the Gillian Welch concert. It's a shabby, tacky and dirty place and ever so big for two acoustic musicians. Though I would have much preferred somewhere like the Barbican or the Southbank Centre, she did pull it off. I like the new album and the first set was largely taken from it. The big surprise though was how this was a mere taster for an outstanding second set which ended with superb encores of country classic Jackson and Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit . I've waited a long while to see her, but it was well worth the wait – next time, somewhere else though? Please…
Taking eight people to Ronnie Scott's to see jazz vocalist Ian Shaw was always going to be a risk, but one that paid off. The musicianship shone through and the audience were suitably attentive. His band included a silver-haired bassist who played with Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker. Wow! Astonishingly, it was my first visit to RS, but now that they have shows at civilised times I shall be back!
Opera & Classical Music
The operatic adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness seems to me to be a great success. Set mostly aboard a boat in the Congo, it has great atmosphere and tension thanks to Robert Innes Hopkins superb design and Tarik O'Regan's music. There was some excellent singing from Alan Oke, Gweneth-Ann Jeffers and Morten Lassenius Kramp with the small ensemble Chroma under Oliver Gooch providing a colourful orchestral background. Just what the Linbury Studio is for.
The Guildhall School of Music & Drama have uncovered a neglected comic gem with Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor, Nicolai(who?)'s take on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor. It's given a sparkling and fresh modern dress production by Harry Fehr with a brilliant set and costumes from Tom Rogers. For some reason Nicolai changed the names of the Ford's and Page's but not Falstaff or Fenton. He's dumped Mistress Quickly, Bardolph and Shallow, but otherwise it's true to its source. Barnaby Rea is excellent as Falstaff, Ashley Riches is very good as the second cast Fluth (Ford) and Ellie Laugharne is a sweet-voiced Anna – but its Sky Ingram's show; her Frau Fluth (Ford) is fabulous; we'll be hearing a lot more of her for sure.
I've wanted to see Vaughan Williams' Hugh the Drover for a very long time, so Hampstead Garden Opera's production was very welcome indeed. I have to confess though that I wasn't expecting it to be such a good opera and for the musical standards of this 'amateur' production to be so outstanding. It was beautifully played by The Dionysus Ensemble, a group of music students & recent graduates, under the leadership of Oliver-John Ruthven. The leads were also students & recent graduates and they were also exceptional. David de Winter was terrific as Hugh, with Elaine Tate a lovely sweet-voiced Mary and Ed Ballard fine as baddie butcher John. This ballad opera is so so underrated, but this new chamber version will hopefully lead to more productions. A whole packet of gold stars to HGO for leading the way.
Handel's Saul is a lovely dramatic oratorio and Harry Christophers & The Sixteen delivered an excellent interpretation at the Barbican, helped by a set of outstanding soloists including Sarah Connelly, Christopher Purves and Robert Murray. The quality of the choir is exceptional with a handful of them stepping forward to sing the smaller solo parts.
Opera North's Ruddigore is destined to be as classic a G&S production as ENO's The Mikado still is many years on. It's a completely preposterous story of course, but it's given a sparking fresh production by Jo Davies, with sepia design from Richard Hudson, and is an absolute delight. Grant Doyle is an excellent leading man, Hal Cazalet (who trained next door at GSMD) acts and sings superbly well as sailor Dauntless, Heather Shipp is as batty as Mad Margaret should be and there's superb support from a few old favourites I seem to see too little of these days – Anne-Marie Owens, Richard Angas and Stephen Page. I sincerely hope their visits to the Barbican become regular – it would d be good to have good quality opera at decent prices here in London!
I loved the Scottish Ballet programme I saw a couple of years ago in Edinburgh, so I booked to see their new double-bill at Sadler's Wells. The first piece – Kings 2 Ends – was playful, funny and quirky. Choreographed by Jorma Elo to music by Steve Reich and Mozart, this young company excelled. Kenneth MacMillan's Song of the Earth to Mahler's song cycle took a short while to settle but soon became spellbinding. More classical than the first piece, I liked the contrast, though the dancers seemed to find it more of a challenge. I liked soprano Karen Cargill but I'm afraid tenor Richard Berkeley-Steele was nowhere near as pleasing on the ear!
I'm new to Ballet Rambert and this second showing didn't live up to the first. It was certainly a diverse triple bill. RainForest was a somewhat abstract 40-year old piece by Merce Cunningham with an electronic score, danced in Jasper Johns costumes in an Andy Warhol setting. Seven for a secret, never to be told was Mark Baldwin's exploration of child behaviour to a Ravel score and Javier de Frutos' Elysian Fields was a steamy and violent homage to Tennessee Williams and A Streetcar Named Desire in particular, danced to that film's score with unnecessary and intrusive dialogue. A bit of a mixed bag – I admired the dance / movement but didn't really find anything entirely satisfactory.
The Royal Academy's Degas & the Ballet – Picturing Movement should have been subtitled 'A study in obsession (with a touch of pedophilia)' It pushed the dancer theme just a bit too far for me. There were some exhibits that I felt were padding (animation and panoramas) and I think it would have been a better 5-room exhibition than it was an 8-room exhibition. That said, the penultimate room of 13 paintings was simply glorious and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Also at the RA, Building the Revolution – Soviet Art & Architecture 1915-1935 was a small but fascinating series of pictures and drawings which illustrated the iconic art deco / modernist hybrid that existed there and then. Most of these buildings are now run down (or worse) and I was struck by how many I'd seen on recent trips to the Ukraine & The Caucasus.
The most extraordinary thing about Gerhard Richter's retrospective at Tate Modern is that it feels like a show by a bunch of artists rather than one. He completely reinvented himself on a regular basis so there is much diversity on show here. It didn't all work for me, but as a body of work it's certainly impressive.
Grayson Perry moved from my list of OK-but-overrated-modern-British-artists to the premier league on the strength of his brilliant exhibition at the British Museum. His own work is interspersed with items from the BM collection (few of which I'd ever seen before). It was equal parts learning, fun and beauty and I was bowled over by it.
Another pleasant surprise was the John Martin exhibition at Tate Britain. This early 19th century artist created vast canvases, mostly on dramatic religious themes like Sodom & Gomorrah. They seem to be the precursors of / influence for apocalyptic films like Independence Day and covers for 1970's progressive rock albums by bands like Yes. In their day they toured the country with sound and light shows to accompany then, seen by millions of people, so it was terrific that they created a modern version for the Judgement Day triptych – a first for an exhibition? How can I have lived this long without ever knowing about this man?! Upstairs, sculptor Barry Flanagan's early work seemed tame and dull, I'm afraid, but it did mean you get to climb their brilliant and bright newly painted staircase!
I was smitten by the Pipilotti Rist exhibition at the Hayward Gallery last month and almost smitten by George Condo's Mental States, which is now sharing the venue. His portraits are like a cartoon version of Francis Bacon and his abstracts like Picasso on acid. I'd never heard of him before, so it was good to see such a comprehensive and fascinating collection. Also at the Southbank Centre, the 2011 World Press Photographer exhibition maintains the standards of this superb annual tradition. It's often hard to look at, but the photography is always outstanding.
Visiting Two Temple Place is a double-dip treat. The former Astor home is a riot of carving, stained glass and OTT decoration and it currently houses a William Morris exhibition with a superb collection of tapestries, fabrics, wallpaper, paintings and drawings. Gorgeous.
Just as gorgeous was the Royal Manuscripts exhibition at the British Library, a stunning collection of richly decorated books from the middle ages. It's superbly curated and, provided you go at a quiet time, it's a real treat.
Two excellent British films this month, the first of which was Weekend, about an intense gay relationship which begins and ends in, well, a weekend. Chris New and Tom Cullen were both outstanding and it was beautifully shot. The second, Resistance, is set in Wales after the failure of the D-Day landings resulting in an invasion of German troops, a small group of whom have reached a Welsh valley! It explores the reaction of the locals and their relationships with the invaders. It's a bit of a slow burn, but eventually draws you in and becomes deeply moving without a touch of sentimentality.

Here is the high and great singularity complement. "A constant research of the style which can surprise due to its wholeness and beauty", this is what the designer Alessio Bassan wanted to transmit with the chest Chelsea. Each particular is cared detailly, its colours are selected, the materials (lacquered wood structure and crystal top) are of optimum quality and worked masterly. All this complete the whole.
The B versions have steel visible base.


When people imagine "rentals", a majority immediately picture more compact housing—like townhomes or apartments, which in turn don`t really offer residents their own identity. If perhaps you`re preparing to moving to 13134, houses for rent will also be an alternative. There are a variety of beneficial reasons for you to check out houses for rent in 13134 as an alternative to apartments, townhouses, or buying a place, and by making use of the right search tools, they will enable you to discover the perfect home that will meet your requirements.
A lot of individuals choose houses for rent in 13134 because they give you more space, compared to most apartments or condominiums. Since they are rentals, they allow residents to have much more flexibility and freedom; such as the flexibility to move out after just six months to a year and never being held liable for serious repairs and maintenance. Each lease document can be unique though, so remember to review the paperwork you`re using carefully to check exactly which duties belong to your landlord and which are yours.
In 13134, houses for rent are located primarily in outer locations, instead of the downtown area. Nevertheless, you may every now and then be able to find good houses for rent downtown if you`re determined to be there. Houses for rent in 13134 are ideal for families or those with several roommates, and they can reduce the occupant`s cost and at the same time give an array of options not available in alternative types of housing. While most other sorts of housing alternatives share some amenities and might or might not include a deck for barbequing, single-family houses sit apart from adjoining residences and have their own facilities, for instance, laundry or perhaps even a home office or game room. Despite that they can be a greater distance from the city`s center, houses for rent in 13134 are located inside of easy travel distance to many workplaces, points of interest and recreation spots.
It won`t matter what your dream home`s specifications are—RentFinder makes it possible to explore houses for rent in 13134 that can meet them. For people with children—to give an example—RentFinder makes it possible to find K-12 schools and kid-friendly parks in town via the right-side map on this web page. Do you have pets who are components of your family? You can search for pet-friendly venues as well. If it`s important to make sure that you are located in an area where it`s easy to go for a slice of pizza, this web page`s right-hand sidebar can help you make that happen.
When you are done finding a house for rent in 13134 that goes hand-in-hand with all your wants and needs, make sure you go have a look at it ahead of giving any payment for it or putting your John Hancock down onto a lease agreement. And yes, this is specifically implying you should set off and have a look at the place personally, not simply analyzing images or video footage sent to you on the web.
Whenever you do stop by a house, take note of the small things that show wear and tear. As said before, the property owner most likely deals with its upkeep, so if things are in poor condition, it`s a hint to how it will be should you decide to lease there. Does it look like the yard has been looked after and is in decent condition? Are the walls rife with rippling and holes, or are the carpets excessively dirty and stained? Do each and every one of the kitchen and other household appliances (heating and central A/C) power on? Do the back and front doors lock or bolt solidly? It`s advisable to be aware of the homes nearby. Regardless of the fact that most will be owned by separate individuals, their visual appearances and overall condition tend to be very revealing as to what that location is really like.
Tentative on what sort of house for rent in 13134 you want to have exactly? Let RentFinder guide you right this moment. Merely push the button below to embark on your search!

Benedict Cumberbatch Joins 'Crimson Peak'
Posted on Thursday, April 4th, 2013 by Russ Fischer
Benedict Cumberbatch is becoming one of the most sought-after screen actors, thanks originally to his leading role in the BBC series Sherlock, but also to attention-getting gigs like his Star Trek Into Darkness villain.
Now Guillermo del Toro has turned to Cumberbatch to bolster the cast of the haunted house movie Crimson Peak. Emma Stone and Charlie Hunnam are also part of the cast. At this point we don't know how any of them fit into the story, or what side of the moral fence Cumberbatch will be on.
Variety got the scoop on Cumberbatch's part in the film, but doesn't have any significant new story details to report, as Guillermo del Toro and Lucinda Coxon are reportedly still rewriting the original script Matthew Robins wrote with del Toro.
For those who haven't followed along with the development of the film so far, we'll go back to previous comments from the director. In February he explained,
It's the turn of the century. So it's at the turn of the century and half of the movie takes place in America, and the other half takes place in a crumbling mansion in Cumbria. And basically it's a ghost story and gothic romance, trying to subvert the rules of the usual gothic romance…the first half is a love story, then that love story turns darker. And it's at the same time a ghost story. I'm working at this moment with Lucinda Coxon, who is a really great playwright from the UK. She has the proper degree of perversity and intelligence to turn it into something interesting to watch.
Just to refresh, there's this big quote from the director that originally explained in a general sense what he'll hope to achieve when production starts roughly a year from now:
To me [the classic old haunted house movie] is Robert Wise's The Haunting, which was a big movie, beautifully directed, with the house built magnificently. And the other grand daddy is Jack Clayton's The Innocents. I've always tried to make big sized horror movies like the ones I grew up watching. Films like The Omen, The Exorcist and The Shining, the latter of which is another Mount Everest of the haunted house movie. I loved the way that Kubrick had such control over the big sets he used, and how much big production value there was. I think people are getting used to horror subjects done as found footage or B-value budgets. I wanted this to feel like a throwback.

Sunday, April 28th, Asiya Nasir...CEO and Founder of her Non Profit organization J.E.S.S.I.C.A. Cares and Non Profit Consulting Firm Utopian Enterprise Business Solutions will assist each participant at the Retreat to not only Desire to Aspire, but actually DARE herself and those around her to "level up" to live up to her fullest potential.
The obstacle that many women face in their quest of living her best life is they feel they do not have what it takes, they are unworthy or if given the opportunity; will surely fail in the process. The fact of the matter is every successful person failed many times before actually succeeding. So why not choose YOU to be that next successful woman in every aspect of your life? Embrace the necessary change within in order to reach the levels you hold inately to have 2019 be the beginning of a new mindset and life!
What can you expect from this Empowerment Retreat?
1. Asiya teaches each participant how to set clear and concise goals that are result driven to reap the outcomes you desire and for those you are striving to impact. You will learn how to navigate through the down times by creating your WHY statement. Through her proven Success Strategies, you will learn how to become your own accountability partner by increasing your inner strengths and beliefs so that you can decrease unproductive behaviors in order to stay on task; thus learning what to do at the moment of acknowledgement that you are vearing off of your goals.
2. How to make "BOLD MOVES"
There are 4 Vending Spots and placements for Ads in the Retreat Program that will be provided to each participant!
If you have a daughter this age or above, make it a Mother/Daughter Empowerment Day.


Knox Klassisk Portion is made by Skruf and is a slightly more economical snus than the "Skruf" range. It has a classic and robust flavor.
Great taste and best packed portions ever!
I previously commented on this snus as follows: "Bitter Snus. Bitter is the most predominant flavor characteristic." I ordered this several times since then and now consider it one of my most preferred snus. It's even better that my other favorite Grov original portion. It has a wonderfully complex flavor profile that you won't get tired of any time soon.


Dear Customer, thank you kindly for taking the time to share your experience with others. We are thrilled and excited that you have given us the opportunity to serve you at the highest level, respectfully Ed Rossal Owner of Pc New Horizons.
I just picked up my computer from Ed today after only a couple days down. He completely fixed it up for me, removing viruses and optimizing the system. It runs better now than it has in a very, very long time. I've had others "optimize" my system but always sort of wondered if much had been done. Not so with Ed at Pc New Horizons.

Anyone have the equipment? I would imagine the finals at Shooters on a monday night would draw a decent crowd.
Heck even some money games would be fun to watch streamed too!
Anyone have a decent web-cam?
- A decent Internet connection, we will not stream unless we can get 148kbps or higher upstream.
- If you have a low quality connection 148k -256k keep camera movement to a minimum. It is movement that makes a picture lose definition and creates pixelation.
- Try to stop people walking in front of cameras - I hate it when this occurs!!!


According to an analysis by Autotrader, an estimated 580,000 cars will need to be replaced from Hurricane Harvey, as well as an additional 200,000 from Hurricane Irma. One of the first things many consumers do after a hurricane is buy a car, but it's important that you don't rush into this.
Before you head to the dealer, check your insurance. Double check that you have comprehensive coverage (this covers flood damage and reimburses you if the car is totaled), and understand where that settlement money will go – which also depends on whether you have an auto loan or lease. With an auto loan, the insurer will first payoff the loan balance. Then you'll get a check for the remaining amount of the car's value. With a lease, the insurer will just pay the balance of the leasing contract.
Once you file a claim for your car – depending on your policy – you could get a rental car while you go through the process of replacing your vehicle.
Even if you haven't figured out what you'll receive from your insurance settlement, you can still budget for a replacement vehicle by looking up market values. You can use sites such as Kelley Blue Book to check new and used car values and prices of specific vehicles. Once you know how much your insurance company will pay, you can narrow down your search to find vehicles within your price range.
If you plan to apply for an auto loan, the best thing to do is shop around for the best rate and get pre-approved for financing.
The best option, if possible, is to rent a car and wait. Because of the number of damaged vehicles involved, in many areas, market prices can be inflated. Waiting until the market returns to normal may help you and your finances.
If you don't have the luxury of waiting and worry that your credit might stand in the way, Auto Credit Express is here to help. We're teamed up with a nationwide network of car dealers that are equipped to handle challenging credit situations. Our free service can connect you with one of them in your area. To get the process started, all you need to do is fill out our secure car loan request form.

Appointment number three of the MS-STAT2 trial
Posted on: September 30 2019
Cathy Howard updates us on the next stage of the statins trial
I was up early again, which was just as well because parking was an absolute nightmare at the station! When we got to UCL Queens Square Institute of Neurology my appointment hadn't been logged on their computer, so John and I had to wait for about an hour and a half to allow for my records to be released and my prescription to be authorised and filled at the pharmacy. We consoled ourselves with lunch and coffee at a local Italian restaurant.
Once the appointment resumed the lovely nurse Sarah looked after me again. She took the remainder of my original prescribed statin/placebo and replaced it with 2 new bottles and a six-month diary. She took blood and my blood pressure, and Dr Tom Williams noted some headaches and nausea I'd experienced during the first month. He also checked my lungs and heart. As long as these blood tests are ok, I can start to take two tablets per day increasing from one. I was able to collect a CD-Rom with my MRI scan on. So excited as it's been a long time since I last had one done.
As long as my GP is happy, I can have my next lot of blood tests, at the end of November or the start of December at my local surgery. A few days afterwards I'll get a phone call at home from one of the research team to ask me a few questions. I'll let you know how it all goes.
This month's Fundraiser of the Month is Mathilde Bru, who swam one mile in the 2019 Children with Cancer Swim Serpentine in September.
My mum was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) around five years ago when I was 16 years old. My four younger siblings and I have witnessed first-hand the effects of this life-changing illness, and so I wanted to do something to support other people with the same illness as her.
Although there is no known cure for MS, by living with my mum I have seen that there are things that can be done to improve the quality of life of MS patients, and for this reason, I can see how crucially important MS-UK is as a charity.
To raise money to help people affected by MS, I decided to take part in the 2019 Children With Cancer Swim Serpentine one-mile swim in Hyde Park. The first time I practised swimming in the Serpentine, two swans swam up to me - I've always been quite scared of birds so started swimming away as fast as possible, and actually ended up swimming a full mile just trying to swim away from them! The training has definitely helped with my fear of birds, as I've become more used to sharing the lake with the swans (who are actually much less vicious than they are said to be!)
Raising money for MS-UK has made my swim preparations a hundred times more rewarding, and I am so glad to have signed up as part of #TeamPurple. I have received a huge amount of support and advice from both the people working at MS-UK and from the other swimmers, who have shared countless amounts of training tips and motivational support. Moreover, raising money for this charity, and sharing my fundraising page to my friends and family has been a huge source of incentive for me to train harder, as I provided updates on my practice swims. My tips for fundraising would be that others send as many emails around as possible, share on all forms of social media and annoy people enough until they donate!
Mathilde has now raised £1,827.08 for MS-UK! If you would like to donate visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mathilde-bru.
A fond farewell and a warm welcome…
The last few months have marked a period of change here at MS-UK for our trustees.
We are wishing our Chair of the Board of Trustees, Martin Hopkins a fond farewell as he retires from his post after 12 years of service to MS-UK. As Chair, Martin oversaw a huge amount of change at the charity, including our launch of Choices booklets, our live web chat service and change of name.
Martin says, 'One of my best friends was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and have seen him deal with the shock of that I felt fairly helpless in terms of the practical support I could offer. I thought therefore that becoming involved with MS-UK would be a way of providing support.'
We wish Martin all the best for the future and we know he won't be a stranger.
Stepping up to the Chair's role will be Trustee Matthew Swan. Matthew is a Commercial Manager in the banking sector, is a treasurer for another national charity and is the Deputy Chair for the Colchester Mercury Theatre.
Matthew says, 'MS-UK is an organisation which does tremendous work to help all affected by MS and I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with the Board and staff to help in any way I can to achieve the organisation's goals and aspirations.' We look forward to welcoming Matthew to this role.
We have also welcomed two new trustees, Laura and Charlie
Laura lives in Colchester with her family and is a registered Occupational Therapist working as Head of Clinical Operations at St Helena, a hospice charity in north Essex. MS is one of the life-limiting illnesses that Laura helps to support in her role.
Laura is a strong believer in choice and independent living in spite of, and not limited by, a life-limiting diagnosis.
From a personal point of view, Laura's sister-in-law lives with MS and as a family member, Laura has followed and supported her journey to date.
Charlie Stebbings is 25 years old, currently living in London and works for a sports, media and entertainment headhunting and consultancy firm. In his spare time, you'll normally find him watching or playing some form of sport.
He has been exposed to the harsh realities that MS can bring for the last 10 years when his mother was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS.
MS-UK was the charity that he identified with most strongly and therefore when the opportunity arose to take up the position of trustee, Charlie says it was an easy decision to take.
'The work MS-UK does is integral to the fight against MS and ensuring that those who are affected in any way have the support and knowledge to best deal with the condition. Whether you, a family member or friend have a diagnosis of MS, learning to live with the condition is a challenging task for all and there is no substitute for having the support of those professionals who you know are always there to help if needed,' Charlie said.
Charlie believes there is plenty of opportunities for him to influence the fantastic work currently undertaken by MS-UK and he can't wait to get started.
We are sad to see Martin retire from MS-UK and wish him all the best for the future. This is an exciting time for MS-UK to look forward to all of the amazing work we can do with our new look Board of Trustees.
Congratulations #TeamPurple swimmers!
This weekend I had a fantastic day cheering on our amazing #TeamPurple swimmers at this year's Children with Cancer UK Swim Serpentine - thank you to everyone who made the day possible! The water was a lovely 17 degrees and the sun was shining as we made our way to Hyde Park to set up our MS-UK stand in the festival area.
We were thrilled to have 21 swimmers taking on challenges in this year's swim and every penny they have raised will help us continue our work supporting people affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). Our fantastic fundraising total already stands at over £10,000 and it makes such a difference to our work at MS-UK, thank you!
Check out our photo album on Facebook today
A thousand people at the event achieved their London Classics Medal this year, including four of our very own #TeamPurple swimmers - congratulations! One of our London Classics Medal winner even learnt to swim this year just to get it on Saturday!
A massive well done to everyone who took part in the Children with Cancer UK Swim Serpentine and thank you to everyone who volunteered with us on the day to make it such a special atmosphere for our amazing swimmers.
Can't wait for next year!
Events Fundraiser
Thank you to our #TeamPurple runners who took part in the Great North Run!
On Sunday I had the privilege of cheering on our amazing #TeamPurple runners at the Simplyhealth Great North Run!
The weather was warm (if a little windy!) as I joined crowds of well over 200,000 people lining the route of the run, right from Newcastle to South Shields. Over the whole weekend around 58,000 people took part in events, from the 5k run through to the Great Tees 10k, but I was there to support the amazing runners taking on the Great North Run in aid of MS-UK.
This was the first year I have travelled North to support #TeamPurple at the Great North Run and I was amazed at the dedication and energy of our runners. It was a brilliant atmosphere and I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who wore our purple running vests with pride.
Every penny raised from this event helps us support even more people across the whole of the UK who may be living with multiple sclerosis (MS). One service we offer is being able to listen to people's worries and concerns through the MS-UK Helpline and offer lots of information and support at times when it is really needed. Our amazing fundraisers make this possible.
The date for next year is already out – 13 September 2020 – so if you want to join #TeamPurple please get in touch with me to register your interest. I would love to be cheering you across the finish line at this unforgettable event next year!

MSer Jan Clarke-Taplin gears up for this year's Great North Run
Having been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in April 2018 I was scared and uncertain of my future. Faced with having to take daily meds and wondering if I was going to be able to walk soon let alone run, I decided to explore treatment options for MS.
With the support of my medical team, I embarked on the Best Bet diet, increased my exercise and started on several supplements. This routine has not only kept me in remission and healthy but I feel it has made me stronger. Post diagnosis I ran two half marathons in 2018 and then was lucky enough to join #TeamPurple in London and completed the London Marathon in April 2019 just one year after diagnosis. I ran for MS-UK because they have helped me with counselling and coming to terms with my MS diagnosis. Running for #TeamPurple also kept inspiring me, as I met so many runners who also have MS and keep going!
Running has become my medicine, I have learned when to push, when to rest and how to fuel my body and I am incredibly grateful to be able to remain mobile and strong. I don't know if I will always stay like this and I would say I battle with my mental health too to stay positive and focussed. Being a part of #TeamPurple for MS-UK gives me focus and I am so proud to wear my purple running t-shirt with the MS-UK logo on. I feel I am giving back to a charity that has supported me through some tough times.
I was delighted and so excited to be offered a place on this year's Great North Run team, the first time MS-UK has had a presence at the event. I also managed to recruit two friends Mollie and Beki, Beki who is running her first half marathon too! We are all super excited, our team of eight will meet up for the first time at the event (hopefully) and get a team photo. It is a first for all of us, so watch this space and see our post-race photo. Of course, raising funds for MS-UK is what it's all about and on the eve of the race we have smashed our team target and we could not be happier!

Baseline testing day on the MS-STAT2 trial
MSer Cathy Howard updates us on the next stage of the statins trial
I was up with the lark again and even earlier than my last appointment! I got to UCL Queens Square Institute of Neurology almost an hour early, but I'd much rather be early than late.
A lovely nurse called Sarah took us through to the same area we were in last time and got me my second coffee of the day. She also gave me a Baseline worksheet with questions about how my MS currently affects me physically and mentally.
Dr Nevin John explained the day's process, went through reams of paperwork with me and I signed five more informed consent forms for sub-studies. Don't think of the trees!
Then the tests began. The Dr who administered those was very thorough and put me through a battery of sight, memory and manual dexterity tests, as well as a comprehensive neurological test. Records were taken after each part of each test.
I completed another walking test with a mobile phone with the MSteps app attached to my arm.
I had six lots of blood taken by another lovely nurse and a cannula inserted for contrast dye to be given part way through the lengthy MRI scan. I have some anxiety issues with MRIs so my GP kindly prescribed me diazepam as a sedative.
The last part of my day was 45 minutes of MRI scans. I estimate I had about 15 separate scans of varying durations. I was asked if I'd like some music whilst in the scanner, and I thought – well, I was an 80s teenager, so Madonna would be perfect. Although I couldn't hear a lot of it whilst the bangs, clicks and dings were going on, when there were quieter periods, I was Vogueing (in my head) and being a strutting Material Girl! The technician who completed the scans will let me have a copy of the scan at my next appointment. Yay! It means I'll be able to discuss it with my neurologist Dr Giles Elrington next time I see him. I haven't had an MRI since my diagnosis, so I'm quite excited about that.
I was given my statin/placebo with a diary to keep updated. One tablet a night for a month. My next appointment is on 24 September. Bring it on!

The third or central offering of the five is the peace offering. Here we must look at the law of the offering given in Leviticus 7 to get a complete picture. Reading there we find that it is the last to be explained when God gives instructions concerning the law of the offerings. So while it is central to the initial giving, it is ultimate in what He is moving toward. Whatever we discover this offering to represent, we will find that this is what God's great desire is in His relationship with us.
The meaning or teaching of this offering is suggested by the awareness that something results which did not happen in either the burnt offering or the meal offering. When we look at the details of the offering, we find that the offering priest, the priestly family, the offerer, and his family, are all eating together and eating what the offerer brought to the altar. So not only are they feasting together, but they are feasting on what God is feasting. The offerer brought a sacrifice to God; part of it went on the altar, part to the priest, part to the priestly family, and some to the man who brought it and his family.
Thus the offering is suggesting God and man brought into fellowship, and man and man brought into fellowship. Recall that not only did sin alienate us from God, but the result of sin is that by nature we are "hateful and hating one another" (Titus 3:3). Man needed primarily to be reconciled to God, but also needed to be reconciled to each other.
The Peace offering is not the Lord's Supper. It is a life of fellowship and enjoyment of God. It is man brought into peace with God in its fullest sense; not just the absence of guilt, shame, and burden. It is the enjoyment of all the blessing which God ever intended to give to humankind. "Peace" or shalom is plural and suggests intensity, fullness. It is Luke's gospel with the Lord Jesus exulting in God showing grace (Luke 15) and sitting seven different times at the table with others, enjoying fellowship with believers.
As we look at the animals specified for sacrifice, we find a new allowance as well as a new restriction. In the Burnt offering, only a male was permitted to be sacrificed. But now, in the peace offering, God permits a female as well as a male from the herd or flock to be offered (Lev 3:1, 6). Even further, Leviticus 22:23 allowed a bullock or lamb with a missing or superfluous part to be offered, but only for a freewill offering. Why this sudden expansion of possible sacrificial animals? Is it suggesting that God is so desirous of fellowship that He is broadening the possibilities without compromising His standard – "without blemish" (Lev 1:3)?
But there is one animal missing from the peace offering which was allowed in the burnt offering: there is no bird offered as a peace offering. This may be because there would not be sufficient to "feast" upon for everyone. God did not want anything which would even hint that there was some meagerness in Christ. There would be precious little fat for God and very little food for man from a bird.
The sacrifices offered included one from the herd, one from the flock, or a goat. We have thought about the distinctions and what they suggest in previous articles, but consider them once again in light of the meaning of this offering. Keep in mind, as we look at their meaning, that it is in light of the fellowship which this offering established.
What is the basis of fellowship with God? My work or Christ's? Of course, your automatic answer is that it is the work of Christ. Yes, all would agree that this is what brought us into fellowship with God. But all are not as clear that this is what I enjoy day by day in my fellowship with God. It is not my success or failure which is the basis or hindrance to enjoying God. It is Christ. I do not enjoy fellowship with God over my service or work for Him; it is His Work for me.
In a similar manner, the lamb from the flock reminds us of One Who yielded His will to God and gave Himself to accomplish another's will.
When I look at the goat I am reminded of how sure-footed it was. It never missed a step, even on the rocky crags and dangerous precipices. How like our Lord Jesus Who never took a step that was wrong or out of the will of God.
Taking these together we learn that my fellowship and enjoyment of God is based upon His service, submission, and sinlessness. But as well, it is not only the basis, but the very substance I bring to God as I enjoy fellowship with Him. Together we enjoy a life devoted to the work, will, and walk of God. How wonderful that we do not have to bring what we have done and rehash it, full of regrets and the haunting awareness that we have been unprofitable servants at best. We bring and we enjoy Christ!
God is not feasting on me but on His Son. It is not my feeble attempts at holiness but the perfect seamless holiness of the One Who moved here with goat-like stateliness. It is not my submission to His will, but the submission of the ultimate Lamb which gives pleasure to God. It is not my sin-stained service that I enjoy when speaking to God, but the perfect service of One Who labored with all the energy and strength of the son of the herd.

Trademark vs. Copyright
What is a Trademark and What is a Copyright?
A trademark and a copyright are both types of intellectual property protection that afford a way to defend against unauthorized use. While trademarks and copyrights both relate to intellectual property, each protects a different type of asset. Trademark and copyright registrations and the associated laws vary internationally. For this article, all information is for the United States unless specifically noted otherwise.
A copyright protects original, creative works fixed in a tangible medium. This includes books, movies, songs, photos, artistic creations, web content, choreography, poetry, and writing. Th
What Is Intellectual Property Law?
Intellectual property law (IP) protects the rights of any person or business who creates artistic work. Artistic work can include music, literature, plays, discoveries, inventions, words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Intellectual property law aims to encourage new technologies, artistic expression, and inventions that all promote economic growth.
Types of Intellectual Property Law
Just like the legal system protects people's physical property rights, it aims to protect people's mental labor, which we call intellectual property. There are several different types of intellectual property.
Copyrights protect any type of expressive art, such as writings, music, motion pictures, architecture, and other original intellectual and artistic expressions. A copyright gives the owner exclusive rights to reproduce their own work, publicly display it, perform it, and create derivat
How Much Does a Trademark Cost?
Trademark Costs Explained
A common question many attorneys get is: "how much does it cost to trademark a name?"
The first step to calculating what a trademark costs is going to be how much you are willing to pay an attorney to research if a similar trademark already exists or not? Because it takes time to properly research any existing or similar trademarks that may exist, if not, you may be wasting your time and money filing a trademark for something that has already been filed.
After factoring this cost, the Trademark Office will charge a government-filing fee of at least $225, if not more, depending on how many classes of goods/services are listed in the application. Each individual class of goods or services you file for means that the cost of the trademark will increase by at least $225
Keyword Advertising Trademark Infringement
What is Keyword Advertising Trademark Infringement?
Keyword advertising trademark infringement occurs when online search engine companies sell trademarked words and phrases to competitors of the trademark owner. Keyword advertising trademark infringement is a relatively new concept since search engines have become more widely used in the last decade.
Trademark owners are unhappy with this practice because they believe it leads to confusion among consumers. When consumers search for keywords that fall under the trademark, they see those exact words on websites that don't relate to the actual product or brand. This also increases the time it takes to find the right product or service from the company that holds the trademark.
Infringement only occurs when the search engi
International Trademark Search: All You Need to Know
What Is International Trademark Search?
International trademarks are used by companies that are planning to export their services or products overseas. The registration and application process for international trademarks is regulated by the Madrid Protocol. Unlike the trademark protection provided by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, this registration prevents the use of companies' intellectual properties worldwide.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) of Geneva regulates the registration, a

Arab springs, British summers, and social media revolutions
We're all still reeling a little from the events that have rocked home turf recently. From where we've been sitting on Mount Street, surrounded by boarded up windows and businesses still counting their losses, things aren't that easy to overlook.
Of course here in Manchester the city and its residents got off comparatively lightly. Unlike Birmingham and London nobody died, there was no Nottingham-style firebombing of a police station, and homes were not razed to the ground. Still though the damage is evident on almost every street from Victoria to Barbirolli Square, and we're British, not just Mancunian, meaning the situation in our capital and rival second city, amongst other places, will always affect us, and for more reasons than the devastation wreaked on some of our favourite independent record labels by the Sony/PIAS distribution centre fire.
So what should we take from all of this? There are some very serious questions to ask, with the long and short of this particular situation being that people do not usually act in such an abhorrently anti-community way if they are happy and content. But let's leave the rest of that discussion to the social theorists and research houses, in turn allowing our attention to settle on the glaring argument for anyone interested in social media. If 2011 has seen a rise in public unrest at least aided, if not fuelled, by online networking then should we celebrate the real democratisation of free thought, or pine for simpler times when hordes of marauding rioters would only be able to organise themselves face to face, rather than via encrypted electronic messages?
It's a debate that bastion of logic and intelligent thought, BBC Radio 4, had on Tuesday. No doubt it's one that will take over many like-minded offices over the next few weeks too. In many Arab states the so called 'spring' of uprisings that continues to rock country after country has been in no small part made possible by modern media, as few would have heard about the dissent taking place behind closed doors if it weren't for You Tube video uploads, while Twitter served as a veritable revolutionary message board. Any sceptics should take one glance at the Dubai School of Government's Arab Social Media Report (Second Edition), or at least these two statistics:
*9 in 10 Egyptians and Tunisians surveyed in March admitted to organising or spreading information of protests via Facebook.
* Egypt, Jan25, Libya, Bahrain and protest were the most popular #s in the Arab region over the first three months of 2011.
Bloodshed is never a good thing, but without viral information the toppling of dictatorships would, in many cases, still be unimaginable. It's a message China turned into a warning for Britain, and the West, in response to the recent problems in London, Manchester, and other major UK cities. The notoriously autocratic superpower has labelled the riots 'bitter fruit', with state media pointing to Britain's refusal to control social networks as a root cause. In contrast Beijing has taken an increasingly hard line against online dissent following the Middle Eastern revolts.
On the flip side though, China's own Twitter doppelganger, weibo.com, turned against its government following a high-speed rail crash last month, even with strict policing. Without getting too bogged down with specifics, 26million posts were made about the devastating train wreck in which 39 people died and hundreds were injured, making it very difficult for the powers that be to keep things under tight wraps, with the accident now being branded a metaphor for the country's dangerously hurried modernisation. As Channel 4 news reported, such websites are "in some ways putting the fear of god into [Chinese] officials", which isn't surprising, considering people who have been incapable of open speech are finally being afforded a little space to talk.
Obviously the wholesale looting of high end consumer goods (and, apparently, copious right shoes) cannot be compared to real political struggle, irrespective of whether a matter of serious public interest originally sparked the troubles. So can we simply conclude that any benefits of social media, in terms of free speech, can only really be realised in oppressed regions, while those already basking in the luxury of century old democracies will only ever use such tools to spout ridiculous commentary and incite pointless violence? Have we made a mistake by allowing such online communities to develop worldwide without first outlining a comprehensive way in which to monitor these channels? Or have we finally reached a point in history wherein the world's inequalities, injustices, and crimes can no longer be hidden, meaning the age old policies of subjugation and sweeping annoying issues under the carpet will no longer cut it?

The representative acts on behalf of the company owner or associates to perform various procedures, such as signing contracts and taking decisions on the business's best interest. On top of that, companies will grant their legal representative the power to deal with business obligations and even the rights of its represented, in accordance with the conditions agreed in their contract.
In Peru, the delegation of legal representatives is governed by the General Companies Law.
In a small company, usually the business associates delegate the function of legal representation to the general manager and they exercise all the duties assigned to their charge.
For investors wondering about how to appoint a legal representative in Peru, the requirements are simple. Any natural person or legal entity 18 years old or older can be appointed as a legal representative. A foreigner can be appointed as a legal representative as long as they have a legal permit to reside and work in Peru.
There are two main ways to appoint a legal representative. The first is at the moment of the business' registration. When registering the business, the associates need to present a certified copy of the act of incorporation of the business, known as the company charter. Keep in mind that this document should include a record of the agreement reached with the legal representative.
The second way to register a representative is through a public deed that should be submitted to the National Superintendence of Public Registries (Superintendencia Nacional de los Registros Públicos, SUNARP).
The law that binds legal representatives is Law 222. This law states that the decisions taken by the legal representative compromise the legal or natural person whom they represent, but also compromises them.
Legal representatives have powers to run your business along with responsibilities that personally bind them to the company.

In 2018, the Peruvian government introduced two decrees that touch upon legal representation. The first one is the Legislative Decree 1422 that establishes the joint liability of a legal representative in Peru.
This decree includes a package of tax normative, which contains the anti-incluse norm. This norm establishes that legal representatives who have collaborated with the design or approval of tax planning are jointly liable( Responsables Solidarios) for any issue regarding financials statements. The second decree is the Legislative Decree 1372, which establishes the obligation of legal entities to provide information on their beneficiaries to guarantee transparency.

Law 222 regulates transparency, accounting data should be faithfully taken from the accounting books.
The legal representative of a company assumes decisions in a variety of fields, both internal and external. These decisions are manifested through certifications. Internally, the legal representative is in charge of signing employment contracts and workers' certification. On top of that, they represent the associates signing accounting reports and financial statements. In this matter, law 222 regulates transparency. According to this law, the certification of the statements should imply verification in accordance with the regulations. Accounting data should be faithfully taken from the accounting books.
Legal representatives are bound by law to work on your company's best interest. They have the powers to take decisions on your behalf, but it's also possible to limit their powers as you see fit. Although some restrictions are useful for control, entrepreneurs should avoid unnecessary limitations as representatives will need to obtain permission before being able to operate which in turn will slow your business' dynamism.

The former Australian No.1 didn't hold back when asked his opinion about the new brand of balls.
Less than a week before the start of the Australian Open, Bernard Tomic has hit out at organizers over the quality of the balls used.
The former top 20 player has branded them as 'terrible' following his first experience of using them. This year's ball has been supplied by Dunlop after the Melbourne grand slams signed a five-year deal with the company. Previously the balls have been supplied by Wilson. They have been issued to all of the build-up tournaments leading into the Australian Open. Including the Kooyong Classic exhibition tournament, which Tomic is playing in.
Criticism aside, the world No.83 made a winning start to the event on Tuesday. In his opening match, Tomic defeated Jack Sock 5-7, 6-4, 10-6. This season the Australian is bidding to return back into the world's top 50 for the first time since July 2017. At the end of 2018, he made progress by winning his first ATP title for three years in Chengdu.
The next test for Tomic comes in the shape of Nick Kyrgios. Both players have been previously criticised for their at times controversial behaviour on the tour. The two have had a hot and cold relationship on the tour over the years. However, Kyrgios has recently stated that he doesn't have any 'bad blood' against his compatriot. Although Tomic has since added fuel to the fire by taking aim at Kyrgios' mental game.
"We're good friends and it's good for us to play – he's needing it more than anything because he's a little bit mentally struggling right now," the 26-year-old said.
Regardless of his clash with Kyrgios, Tomic is hoping this week will put him on good footing going into the Australian Open. It is the 10th consecutive year he has played in the main draw of the event. His best performance was reaching the fourth round on three occasions (2012, 2015 and 2016). Something he hopes to emulate this year.
"Probably another third or fourth round like I've done a hundred times," Tomic replied when asked what his expectations were for the first grand slam of 2019.
The main draw of the Australian Open will get underway on Monday.

A man was attacked by a grizzly bear early Friday, July 9, in the Kilgore area near Island Park in Eastern Idaho after encountering a female with a cub. The man was injured in the attack, but able to return to the cabin he was staying in and call 911. His injuries were not life threatening, and he was treated at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg.
