Gloo uses a VirtualService CRD to allow users to specify one or more route rules to handle as a group (Virtual Service). This guide will discuss how to configure Gloo to handle various routing scenarios. These are examples of how to use the Route Matcher.
To give you some context, Gloo Virtual Services contain zero or more Route objects. Each Route contains a Matcher, which is the main way that Gloo uses to determine (or match) if a request coming into the Gloo gateway proxy should be acted on, i.e., forwarded to an upstream. This guide will primarily focus on the details of configuring a Matcher.
The following are the different aspects of the request that you can match against a route rule. Each aspect is AND with others, i.e., all aspects must test true for the route to match and the specified route action to be taken.
There are three options to do HTTP path matching. You can specify only one of the following three options within any given route matcher spec. Note, routes is an array of gloo.solo.io.Route objects, and each route has one matcher that can contain one of the path matchers: prefix, exact, or regex.
prefix - match if the beginning path of request path matches specified path.
exact - match if request path matches specified path exactly.
regex - match if the specified regular expression matches. More details in Matcher doc and Envoy doc. Full details of regular expression grammar are at https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex/ecmascript.
Given the following example virtual service using the prefix matching against /hello path. For this example, any request to /hello, /hello123, or /hello/other/stuff will all match this route rule.
To create the above route using glooctl, you can do the following.
To test you can use glooctl proxy url to get the Gloo gateway base URL, and then add the path.
Here's how you specify request headers that must be present, and have a matching value, to match the given route rule. You can specify zero or more Header Matcher for each route. Each header matcher has three attributes: name, value, and regex.
name - the name of the request header. Note: Gloo/Envoy use HTTP/2 so if you want to match against HTTP/1 Host, use :authority (HTTP/2) as the name instead.
To create the above route using glooctl, you can do the following. Multiple --headers can be specified. The CLI will try to inspect the provided value to guess if its a regular expression (or not), and set the regex field accordingly.
Here's how you specify request query parameters that must be present, and have a matching value, to match the given route rule. You can specify zero or more Query Parameter Matcher for each route. Each query param matcher has three attributes: name, value, and regex.
For example, the following will match requests who's path starts with /hello, and has the query parameter ?foo=bar.
You can also create route rules based on the request HTTP method, e.g. GET, POST, DELETE, etc. You can specify one or more HTTP Methods to match against, and if any one of those method verbs is present, the request will match, that is Gloo will conditional OR the match for HTTP Method. Note: since Gloo/Envoy is based on HTTP/2, this gets translated into a header value match against the HTTP/2 :method header, which by spec includes all of the HTTP/1 verbs.
For example, the following will match requests who's path starts with /hello, and has the HTTP Method GET or POST.
To create the above route using glooctl, you can do the following. Multiple --method options can be specified, and the result matches if any one of the methods is present in the request.


Do you think you've found the vending franchise you've been searching for?
Whether you've stumbled across the opportunity out of the blue or have been hunting for the right franchise opportunity for months, it's important to conduct a thorough vending machine franchise review to find out if it's suitable for you, before you jump on board and make an investment.
In this article we'll be sharing some top tips which will help you perform smarter franchise reviews of vending machine companies, whether they're little known, new on the scene or listed among vending's top 10 franchises (just like us here at Tubz!).
Going into business as a franchisee is all about taking charge and building your own future but, at the end of the day, everything boils down to money. That's why costs should be the very first aspect of the prospective vending franchise you review.
Before you jump into a franchise, make sure your prospective franchisor has shared details of every cost with you. Then compare these against the cost of other, similar franchises to ensure you're getting a good deal.
Hearing it straight from the horse's mouth is one of the very best ways to gain insight into a vending franchise you're considering investing in, whether it's a relatively small vending machine company or one of the industry's top 10 franchises.
Take a close look at testimonials pages and reviews written by franchisees to get a better understanding of how franchisees are treated by the franchisor, how the franchise structure works, whether or not profits are accurate and much more. If a vending franchise doesn't offer testimonials, this could be a red flag.
We share views and insights from our franchisees on our testimonials pages, and you can also find success stories from current operators on our blog.
Of course, testimonials can be cherry-picked and may not represent every franchisee's experience. Performing a quick Google search is a good idea as this could flag up any negativity which exists online and give a more balanced picture. If possible, ask your prospective franchise if you could meet or talk with a current franchisee to get the inside scoop.
The final part of any reviews you conduct should focus on the franchise itself – and the people representing your franchisor.
Will you get along? Will you feel supported by them? How accessible are they?
The answers to these questions could all make a big difference to your success and happiness in the franchise.
Ask your potential franchisor to list the individuals you'll have the most contact with and ask to set up a conversation or a meeting so you can get to know them a bit better before diving into a potential long working relationship. Good support is vital if you're entering the business world with a new enterprise, even if the business model has a proven track record.
If you conduct thorough research, get feedback from current franchisees and ask franchisors lots of questions, you will be in a great position to choose a winning vending machine franchise.
Have you reviewed Tubz Vending using these steps? If you think our vending machine franchise could be a great fit for you, we'd love to talk. Please contact our team today on: info@tubzbrands.co.uk or 01795 414 480.

Know Thy Teche
Oct. 3, 2016 11:25 AM
By IND Monthly Staff
Historian Shane Bernard knows Bayou Teche and its history. It's his business. The son of swamp pop pioneer Rod Bernard and author of several books, including The Cajuns: Americanization of a People and Swamp Pop: Cajun and Creole Rhythm and Blues, has a new book out: Teche: A History of Louisiana's Most Famous Bayou (University Press of Mississippi). Following is an excerpt.
After roughly two millennia of Native American occupation, Bayou Teche enticed Europeans to explore its murky waters around the mid-eighteenth century. Behind early French pioneers came the Spanish, followed by Anglo and Scots-Irish settlers along the bayou's lowest stretches. With them were enslaved Africans and the gens de couleur libre (free persons of color). For a century and a half the meandering Teche served these explorers, settlers, and slaves, as well as subsequent travelers and entrepreneurs, as a primitive superhighway. It guided them from the soggy littoral to the heart of one of the most fertile, most hauntingly beautiful, sections of the colony, territory, and state.
The region's first major industry, cattle ranching, flourished; the second, indigo planting, failed. Cotton production, however, took to the upper Teche and, eventually, sugar growing, to the lower Teche.
Sugar, slavery, and the invention of steam power coalesced on the bayou around 1830. These factors transformed the Teche from a backwater into a thriving "sugar bowl" rivaled only by bayous Lafourche and Terrebonne, and exceeded only by the lower Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The region's enormous wealth in part attracted the marauding armies and dueling ironclads of the Civil War, devastating the bayou's banks and making its course unnavigable. This destruction left the Teche Country less resilient to the floods, epidemics, and bankruptcies of the postwar era. It also contributed to the sense of despair and fear that vented itself in the period's often racially motivated violence.
Cotton and sugar planting endured along the bayou, though joined by forays into rice and lumber. The advent of the railroad and eventually the motor vehicle and highway stimulated the region's economy—even as these innovations doomed the steamboat and, seemingly, the bayou to insignificance. Predictably, the steamboat did become extinct, both on the Teche and elsewhere; but the same ingenuity that created the railroad and highway soon reinvented river transportation, producing the new pushboat-and-barge system on rivers across America. On the Teche this new system ultimately generated a net increase in tonnage of goods conveyed up and down the bayou; yet it required only a fraction of the boats and deckhands that once moved cargo on the waterway.
With fewer boats and hands — and fewer whistles and searchlights coming 'round the bend — the Teche clearly seemed to lack the vitality of earlier times. Indeed, by the midtwentieth century the bayou struck some as downright moribund. "[T]he Teche is the Past in Louisiana," author Harnett T. Kane commented sympathetically in the early 1940s. "It has seen and heard excitements. . . . Now it has settled down to a period of serene rest." It was a serenity imposed partly by the construction of so many levees, floodgates, locks, and other water-control structures. These enormous projects changed the Teche from a force of nature into a more obedient stream, one incapable of disrupting everyday life and commerce with the occasional raging deluge.
Shaped by these levees, floodgates, and locks, the story of the Teche in the twentieth century was one of designing the bayou to human advantage. Its story so far this century has been one of conservation in the face of mounting environmental threats, including litter, pollution, overdevelopment, and the spread of invasive species. . . .
[R]estoration of the Teche will require government and grassroots activists to overcome any number of obstacles, from lack of cooperation between the upper and lower reaches of the Teche — Port Barre, Leonville, and Arnaudville, for example, sometimes seem worlds apart from Franklin, Centerville, and Patterson — to financial and bureaucratic issues, to pushback from those who do not share their visions for the bayou. When, for instance, the TECHE Project [conservation group] suggested the state legislature declare the Teche a Louisiana Historic and Scenic River, many landowners along the waterway objected because of property rights concerns. Despite their differences, both factions agreed on the Teche's importance as a natural resource. As an opposition leader noted, "I've lived on the banks of that bayou for 59 years and nobody loves it more than I do." He added, "We are willing to assist with cleanup efforts in any way we can." And those clean-up efforts are working. "It is coming back," the executive director of the TECHE Project [Conni Castille] observed in 2014. "The water quality is good again. It has come a long way." As an ecologist, [UL's Whitney] Broussard concurred, [stating,] "Bottom line is that the Teche is much better than it was . . . even 10–20 years ago. . . . I expect that we are 10–20 years away from a healthy bayou similar to its glory days before the industrial revolution."
Bayou Teche belongs to everyone: this is not mere sentiment but state law, which holds that "all navigable waters and the beds of same within its boundaries are common or public things and insusceptible of private ownership." At the same time, much of the land along the Teche is privately owned. If "the Teche" is regarded not merely as the bayou, but as the bayou and the landscape through which it runs — the Teche Country, as this book has called it — then it stands to reason that the Teche's welfare depends on a public-private alliance. This alliance will undoubtedly spark tension, not only between public and private sectors, but between developers and conservationists. Indeed, these tensions are already evident: traveling the bayou today reveals venerable live oaks, stands of mature bald cypress, and preening wildfowl beside industrial sites, convenience stores, and modern suburban housing. Yet lengthy segments of the Teche remain untouched or at least bucolic — the windswept fields of ripening sugarcane, the shaded bayouside cemeteries of whitewashed shrines, the stately antebellum homes that have survived war, floods, and neglect. It is time to decide how much of the Teche should be spared from the advance of modern sprawl, else, like the proud, ornate steamboats that once commanded the bayou, the beauty of the Teche might exist only in memory.

Black Carbon as an Important Climate Change Challenge
Black carbon is a substance responsible for up to 40 per cent of the effects of global warming till date (Philadelphia Tribune, 2017), most of it made up of soot. Black carbon is a form of particulate matter that can be airborne and can be suspended in the atmosphere and travel thus. When this particulate matter gets deposited on frozen surfaces such as in the Arctic or in Himalayan glaciers and snow, its high absorption of the Sun's heat causes the frozen material to melt and liquefy. The US Environmental...

These biomes were in the process of being formulated and mapped for the first time during the time Koppen formulated his climate classification...
Why Environmentalists Fear Increase in Nuclear Energy Production
The Science of Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy represents the energy released during a chain reaction in a nuclear reactor. The process involved in this is called nuclear fission of nuclear fuel, usually uranium, in the reactor. In power plants run using fossil fuel, coal, oil or natural gas is burned to produce heat. Heat is generated in a nuclear reaction however, by the splitting of atoms in a process called nuclear fission. The splitting of the nuclear fuel nuclei during nuclear fission releases...
The Albedo Effect and the Reflectance of Solar Heat
A measure of the reflectivity of a surface is called albedo, and when applied in Earth-sciences, albedo is a measure of the reflectivity of the Earth's surface in relation to Sun's energy. When some of the Sun's energy is reflected back into space by surfaces on Earth, it has an overall cooling effect on the Earth (G.P. Wayne, 2016). This phenomenon is called the albedo effect. High albedo of a surface implies that the surface reflects a lot of light, and low albedo implies that it absorbs...
The Yamuna Biodiversity Park | Example of Wasteland Restoration
Backdrop of Wasteland Restoration Wastelands are degraded lands where the soil might have low productive capacity. Wastelands include areas that are affected by erosion, shifting cultivation, high salinity or alkalinity, riverine lands, or lands that are affected by water logging, or moisture deficiency. Such areas can be ecologically unstable, with displacement of top soil, and are thus also unsuitable for agricultural activity. However, such lands can be restored. There are several examples...
Animal Attacks | Signifying a Larger Need for Habitat Conservation
The animal attacks trajectory An elephant on the loose has in the past few months trampled to death about 15 people in Jharkhand. Animal attacks such as these are not isolated incidents. As urbanization extends and encroaches upon animal habitats, such incidents are likely to become more and more common. In Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit Tiger reserve, deaths due to tiger attacks are fairly regular - with 3 deaths in the last few weeks. Since October last year, more than 16 people are estimated...

With data revealing that the source of the smoke could be coming from multiple sources, the fire in Greenland is among the biggest ones so far in recent history. The baffling part is that the fire in Greenland is happening in a place almost...

EXCLUSIVE: Maduk Talks New Singles and DJ Inspirations
Laura Klonowski March 26, 2019, 9:49 am
Fast rising Dutch DJ and producer Maduk has recently shared three brand new singles with his growing fanbase; 'Coming Down', 'Go' (feat. Lachi), and 'Go' (Instrumental).
Here we chat exclusively to Maduk about his new releases, DJ inspirations and more:
How did you first get into the producing and DJ scene?
I started 'producing' by recording my piano and guitar when I was 15, later I discovered electronic music and slowly but surely, I got small opportunities to play as a DJ. I started as a tech house DJ/producer under the name 'Marckus' when I was 19, in 2011 I switched to Drum & Bass with Maduk.
Growing up was it always in your mind to become a pro DJ and producer?
I remember I wanted to be an audio engineer, work behind the mixing desk in a venue or studio and mix bands. So that is more the 'old school' music producer. I became a producer first and the DJ part followed later because people wanted to see the guy who made those songs they liked playing them.
You recently released three new singles 'Go' , 'Go' instrumental and 'Coming Down', can you tell us a little about the inspiration behind these songs?
I usually just get going in the studio without much of a plan. "Go" started with the chords and the lead melody, later on I added the vocals. "Coming Down" was very fun to work on as well, a bit deeper than "Go". I really like the way both tracks show something different, but still totally both sound like Maduk.
Your single "Go" features vocalist Lachi. What was the writing sessions and process like for the track?
Actually, I connected with Lachi through an online platform for songwriters. I sent her my instrumental and a few days later she came back to me with an amazing first sketch! We sent ideas back and forth and within two weeks the final vocal was ready. Amazing this is possible, I never even met her!
When working on new music what is your go to creative method?
I just get in the studio and start writing. Sometimes I start with drums or with a vocal, mostly I start with my piano and a chord progression. I don't produce that much with a plan, I don't want to think too much how it 'should' sound. I go with the flow, have the most fun I can and try to feel whether I like something.
As the co-founder of Liquicity Records, what do you look for when discovering new talent?
I think it's important that a beginning producer has a clear identity sound-wise. Especially in the beginning, it will not help if you release multiple genres and styles under the same name. It is not clear to the audience, labels and promoters what your identity is as an artist.
What are you hoping fans take from your music?
When I'm making my music, I want it to have that special 'euphoric' vibe in it. That feeling you can take on any challenge in the world. When I get that feeling while making a track, I know I'm heading in the right direction. It's great to see that many fans contact me to describe this exact same feeling while listening to my music!
Is there one song in particular you have created that you're most proud of?
Not really, I still like pretty much all my songs though! If I had to choose I'd go for "Don't Be Afraid" and "Miles Apart".
How do you enjoy your time off away from the studio?
Besides my work for Liquicity, I mainly hang out with my friends. Enjoying the beautiful city of Amsterdam and play some Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.
Looking ahead to the rest of 2019 what are your plans for this year?
On April 12th I will have my 'Maduk & Friends' night in Amsterdam and hopefully I will release my next single in May. The main focus of this summer will be Liquicity Festival from July 19-21 in The Netherlands.
Make sure you follow Maduk on Twitter @MadukDnb to keep up to date with all his latest music and tour news!

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Josh Mejia


Terry Olson, co-owner of Ole 'N Rick's North Side Inn in Madison, said business is down 60 percent and he started cutting back shifts for three or four bartenders Monday.
Patty Telvick, general manager of the Buckeye Inn, said her regulars have disappeared and nonsmokers have not taken their place.
Dave Wiganowsky, owner of Wiggie's, said nonsmokers do not spend enough to make up for the loss of customers.
Meanwhile, bars just outside Madison are reporting an increase in customers.
Shares in Skycity Entertainment Group Ltd fell sharply on Friday after the New Zealand-based gaming firm downgraded its full year profit forecast due largely to the worse-than-expected impact of smoking bans.
The company revised downwards its earnings guidance for fiscal 2005 to between $NZ100 million and $NZ103 million ($A94 million and $A97 million), saying the introduction of smoking bans in New Zealand in December 2004 had had a significant impact on revenue at hospitality and entertainment venues.
In Pueblo, bar and restaurant owners tick off the list of businesses that have closed since a nonsmoking ordinance was passed two years ago.
There's Mugsy's and the Town Tavern, longtime watering holes near the Rocky Mountain Steel Mill; Bruno's Beer Joynt downtown; Pepper's, a northside dance club; and The Silver Saddle, a decades-old dance hall on the south side.
Pete Meersman, president of the Colorado Restaurant Association, said Pueblo's experience is typical of a migration in Colorado cities that have banned smoking. Smoking customers simply move from restaurants and bars inside the city to those outside.
"If you take Pueblo, Fort Collins and all of these cities, there are places just outside the city limits that saw an increase in business, especially the bar crowd," Meersman said.
The Restaurant Association of Maryland found that restaurant and bar business fell by 11 percent in Talbot County during the year after a smoking ban was enacted.
"We found that the economic damage to smaller independent restaurants and bars was much more significant than large chain restaurants," said Melvin Thompson of the Restaurant Association of Maryland.

This scenario replays itself every night. The actors and the setting might change, but the message is the same: Smokers are pariahs. People turn their noses up and away from them. It's become PC to diss a smoker in public.
Ask any waiter which customers are the most laid-back, and odds are he'll say the smokers. Go to any event and follow the laughter; it's probably coming from the smokers out back.
Todd and Lisa Line never would've met if they hadn't both been into butts. "You tend to get on the same smoking schedule as someone you think is hot," he says, referring to when they used to work in the same building.
"I really didn't realize at first that he was checking me out," she says. He sneaked right up on her, and now they've been married for six years.
If antismokers had had their way, Todd never would've met the love of his life. How's that for family values? Oh, and he's also helping her take care of her kid. That's right: one less single-parent family, thanks to smoking.
Frank makes up to $200 a night manning the smoking section, although that'll all end come September, when the ban goes into effect.
Two University of North Texas economists studied the effects of the smoking ban in restaurants, and the results were released in October 2004: Dallas lost $11.8 million (or 3.6 percent) in alcoholic beverage sales in 2003 compared with 2002. You could blame it on a sliding economy, but business was booming in the smoke-friendly suburbs, where hooch sales increased from 3.2 percent (Richardson) to 7.9 percent (Plano) to 12.2 percent (Frisco). The only other city showing a loss was Irving, down 0.8 percent.
The study also claims four longtime Dallas restaurants were forced to close on account of the ban.

D-Day for New Year's parties as pub bosses beg Boris Johnson to avoid more Covid rules
Monday is D-Day for New Year's Eve celebrations with hospitality chiefs warning against new coronavirus restrictions.
Boris Johnson will receive crunch Covid-19 data which could boost or derail festivities.
Opponents of tighter measures hope statistics will show the surging wave of Omicron infections has not yet led to huge growth in the number of patients admitted to hospitals.
But scientists have warned that even though the variant appears to cause less severe illness, the sheer number of cases and its higher transmissibility mean that even a small increase in sufferers needing hospital treatment could overwhelm the NHS – piling pressure on Downing Street to impose stricter rules.
Pubs, clubs and restaurants face an anxious wait to find out whether they will be hit with new curbs as celebrations hang in the balance.
The Prime Minister, who is at his country retreat Chequers, will chair a virtual meeting of top officials to study vital figures collected over the past week.
Hospitality bosses urged the Premier to rule out tougher curbs
PA)
He is expected to hear from Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty and Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.
Hospitality bosses urged the Premier to rule out tougher curbs and bolster the struggling industry, which has been hit by a string of cancelled bookings after cautious families and would-be revellers shelved planned gatherings.
Campaign for Pubs campaign director Greg Mulholland told the Mirror: "This is an extremely anxious time for publicans and staff in England, not knowing if they will be able to open this week and for New Year.
"New Year's Eve is very important for many pubs and with December trade already badly hit by previous announcements, further restrictions would be devastating, including the nonsensical suggestion of outdoor only opening in midwinter.
"Plus, the reality is, if the Prime Minister bans people from meeting in pubs, many thousands of people will instead attend illegal parties which will be much less safe than controlled, ventilated pubs.
New Covid measures could be imposed just in time for New Year's Eve

"So we hope that the data is positive and that pubs can continue to open to the benefit of everyone."
Night Time Industries Association chief executive Michael Kill urged the PM to "to act with clarity and decisiveness, and firmly reject calls for further draconian measures".
He added: "Once again our sector has suffered enormous damage as a result of the Government response to the pandemic in recent weeks.
"It's likely that thousands of our businesses will never recover from this damage.

"Most of these are small and medium-sized owner-run businesses that play a vital part in the cultural, social, and economic lives of our towns and cities.
"And if that is not bad enough, we now face the possibility that major parts of our sector may face further curbs, and, in the case of nightclubs, total closure in the coming days."
He added: "However, there are increasingly promising reports that the Omicron variant, though highly transmissible, may not be as aggressive as previous variants."
UK Health Security Agency data published just before Christmas showed patients infected with the strain are 50% to 70% less likely to need hospital treatment compared with people with the Delta mutation.
Caroline Clarke, the chief executive of London's Royal Free Hospital, believed the capital's NHS "will cope" with the latest onslaught.
But she admitted the health service was "planning for the worst and hoping for the best".
The Prime Minister is expected to hear from Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty
"We are putting in place all our contingency plans, and in extremis, it will feel really uncomfortable," she told the Sunday Times.
"On the current modelling I've seen, I think London will cope, but it will be really tough."
She added: "In the hospitals, we are seeing a rise in Covid patients but it's not exponential.
"We will see more patients coming in with Covid in the New Year; it's going to catch up, but it's just whether it goes up exponentially or whether it goes up in a more managed way."
The PM faces opposition to any new rules from Tory backbenchers – 99 of whom defied him this month over imposing tighter restrictions.
Legally-binding curbs impacting on New Year's Eve would need to be agreed at an emergency Cabinet meeting as soon as tomorrow.

Parliament would then be recalled this week so MPs could vote on measures paving the way for another humiliating rebellion for Mr Johnson.
One option the PM has is to stop short of legally-binding measures but issue guidance instead – leaving it to people to decide how much risk they are comfortable with.
Mr Johnson was said to be "absolutely determined" that schools should reopen after the Christmas break – despite rocketing case numbers.
"There is a shared commitment across government to make sure they stay open," a source close to Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi said.
However, Lib Dem education spokeswoman Munira Wilson said: "Our children have been failed again and again throughout this pandemic by Boris Johnson's government.
"Of course, schools should stay open but he needs to explain how and with what help for teachers and parents.
"From air purifiers to rolling out the vaccine to teenagers, this Government has dragged its feet.
"Ministers must set out a clear plan to reassure families that schools will be kept open, instead of making yet more empty promises."
The Government today began sending text messages reminding people to "Get Boosted Now" and build up protection through jabs.
Restrictions on hospitality will come into force in Scotland tomorrow with nightclubs shuttered and hospitality businesses only able to offer table service if serving alcohol.
Bars, restaurants and indoor leisure facilities such as gyms, theatres and museums will also have to reinstate one-metre social distancing regulations.
New measures were introduced today in Wales, where a maximum of six people can meet in pubs, cinemas and restaurants.
Thirty people are allowed at indoor events while 50 people are permitted at outdoor events.
Two-metre social distancing is required in public premises and offices, and nightclubs are shut.
Daily publication of data on cases, deaths and vaccinations was suspended for two days over Christmas.

Useful if you are considering setting up a company and fiscal residence in Estonia. Below some Q&As. You can get this, updated and/or additional information by scheduling a call with Leapin who are offering support services for micro businesses in Estonia.
2.2. How do we avoid double taxation in the countries where we reside?
2.3. Would we have to double up in accounting support in Belgium to handle our social security here?
3 ways of paying yourself: salary as a board member; salary as an employee; through dividends (the salary =/ monthly payment, it still means you are paid based on invoice).
Recommended: board member, based on invoice. Companies with employees are discouraged in the current setup. The employee/board member recommended payment ratio is 17%/30% and the board member salary cannot be less 250 euros.
Income tax 20% + social security tax 33%: if you are paying social security in your residence country, you need to get a proof so you are exempt by Estonian authorities. The proof is an A1 Form from your local tax authority.
The tax is withhold every time when you pay yourself.
Rent / office space outside of Estonia is not considered a deductible expense.
There is no bank commission when invoicing from an Estonian company to another.
In Estonia we do not have a profit tax, so if you keep all the company income in the company or reinvest it, you will enjoy a 0% CIT. You will only need to pay taxes when you take money out of the company, so when paying a salary or taking out dividends, taxes apply. Please have a look at our FAQ section on receiving funds [here]: (https://www.leapin.eu/faq/receiving-funds&source=gmail&ust=1498113596810000&usg=AFQjCNFA_i79QjmLkf9fGr2S3hg2g8OGBw" href="https://www.leapin.eu/faq/receiving-funds). I have also attached an income tax calculator to this email for you to make the necessary calculations yourself.
LeapIN currently assumes that your Estonian company will be an Estonian tax-resident and LeapIN provides you the necessary tax compliance and reporting in Estonia. Typically the tax residency of a legal entity is determined by taking into account the incorporation address, the location of actual business processes and customers and value creation and the location of its management. Thus, the final decision depends on the local tax rules in all the locations mentioned. The motivation to change the tax residency of the company could come from external parties only (your country of residence in your case). In case this issue arises, the external party has to prove their point during the negotiations with Estonian authorities, taking into account the double-taxation avoidance agreements in place. As a result, the company could also become a tax resident in both locations.To facilitate the process, in many cases countries have agreed on double taxation avoidance agreements, which specify mutually respected rules how to classify a legal entity from the tax perspective. See the list of countries with which Estonia has double tax avoidance agreements.
If during the lifetime of the company, it turns out that your company will be a tax-resident in your home country (e.g. Belgium), then the tax reporting and compliance in your home country will be your responsibility. Unfortunately, at this time, LeapIN is not able to support you with tax compliance and reporting in your home country. You need to consult a tax consultant in your country for that.
LeapIN would only take care of your Estonian company's accounting and tax compliance in Estonia and you would need to consult with a local tax consultant in your country for your personal taxes.
Distributed profits are generally subject to a flat 20% CIT at 20/80 of the net amount of profit distribution. For example, a company that has profits of 100 euros (EUR) available for distribution can distribute dividends of EUR 80, on which it must pay CIT of EUR 20.
The following are step-by-step instructions for how to set up a one-person company in Estonia, as an e-resident with an E-ID card.
LeapIN takes care of all the accounting and acts as a helpdesk. You can ask for advice – for payment gateways, tax related questions etc. They communicate with Estonian authorities, receive your mail, digitize your mail and forward it to you.
Fill in your company background and other information.
LeapIN currently strongly prefers single shareholder/board member companies and our feature set is not yet complete for meeting the needs of multiple shareholder companies.
Log in to leapin.eu with your e-mail.
Authenticate yourself with your e-Residency ID-card on our onboarding dashboard. If you need to apply and pick-up the e-Residency ID-card before, see section "Getting e-Residency" and then proceed to step 3.
Enter the required data (company details) and accept LeapIN Service Agreement.
Pay for the company registration state fee (190 EUR), state service fee for online registration (25 EUR) and LeapIN service fee for the first month.
After completion LeapIN will continue with the company registration. Below you will find additional details to plan your roadmap for setting up your business and moving forward with LeapIN.
Fees. Our current offer is to start with LeapIN "Starter" plan which can be used until you start receiving revenues from customers. The price for the "Starter" plan is 49 EUR/mo (+ VAT). This period can last a maximum of 6 months, then you need to upgrade. There is no group package deal for more people who set up individual companies each.
For a small single ownership company and as the simplest option, LeapIN helps you set up a private limited liability company. The Estonian business registry charges a fee of 190 EUR for registration. The minimum sum for the share capital in Estonia is 2,500 EUR. It is the money that you as an individual person invest into the business, can use for running the business and you have full control over it. It is allowed to pay in the sum later, once you have the company registered and up and running. With the e-residency card, the company registration is doable online within ca. 24 hours (on business days only).
LeapIN's partner bank LHV just postponed launching remotely opening a bank account to Q3 2017.
But just recently there were some news from Transferwise Borderless and Holvi and now it is possible to open up business bank accounts remotely using the services of these payment services providers. Please have a look at the different banking options and their differences. For a payment providers business bank account (IBAN) which enables receiving and sending money, we recommend using Transferwise Borderless or Holvi (only available for EU or EEA e-residents).
LeapIN supports you doing business with Transferwise Borderless and Holvi and if your business needs change, you can migrate to a standard business bank account (or use two business bank accounts with LeapIN in parallel). Please note: in order to receive a bank card or pay dividends or pay in the share capital, you still need to open a business bank account with an Estonian bank. The issue of paying dividends we expect to be solved by the end of 2017.
The following will provide a standard business bank account and bank card.
For a standard business bank account with a bank card, LeapIN recommends opening a LHV bank account via LeapIN. For now, the LeapIN partner bank LHV requires a physical face-to-face meeting with a bank representative (due to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism reasons). With LHV, first customers can start remotely onboarding a LHV bank account presumably in Q3 2017. Your company bank account application can be initiated after you have successfully registered your company. It takes ca 10-14 working days to receive acceptance from the bank. In Tallinn, you will need about 30 minutes on-site for the meeting with bank representatives.
Before opening a standard business bank account with LHV or similar, you can start with Transferwise or Holvi as a temporary workaround (see above).
For the banking fees with LHV, see their price list.
How would social security work?
Here are some explanation concerning Belgium (this is the Caisse I am affiliated to). It's not clear whether all this applies to sole traders (one-man companies) incorporated in a different country. I think not: when you apply, in the form you have to add as compulsory data your Belgian company number.
The other possibility is: the sole trader incorporated in Estonia pays social security in Estonia. Both income and social security contributions are then reported in the Belgian tax return. Belgium charges income tax (because we are using public infrastructure here), but not social security (because we get our pension from wherever we are incorporated).
The board member salary is taxed with personal income tax (20%) in Estonia, independent on whether the actual duties were performed in Estonia or abroad. Double taxation here can be avoided by the relevant agreements between Estonia and your country of residence (see the list of countries here…). Such salary is also taxed with social tax (33%) in Estonia unless you can provide evidence that you are already paying social contributions in another EU country (A1 form, formerly E101). In the latter case, no social tax applies in Estonia.
To sum it up, if you receive 100 EUR net, almost 65 EUR are paid in taxes in Estonia, unless you have an A1 form (in the latter case taxes are ca 25 EUR).
If you perform all the work outside Estonia (and thus, are treated as a non-resident in Estonia), no personal income tax nor social tax are paid on employee salary in Estonia. In that case, you are responsible for paying taxes in the country where you are a tax resident as an individual person. In case of interest, you need to be able to prove to Estonian authorities that the real work was performed outside of Estonia. However, your tax arrangements abroad are not their concern here.
By default, all salary payments you receive from your own company are considered as a board member salary. If you have a sufficient ground and can decide to register some of the salary as an employee salary, you can do it.
We deduct everything on the Reef, because we treat it as an office + accommodation facilities for staff and guest… which it is. I checked it with both NJA and E-advisors. I think it's defensible.
All income is declared in the country of residence, not in Estonia.
Income as director is easier to treat than income as employee – no "corporate interest".
The question is: "Can I, as a sole trader incorporated in Estonia under the e-residency scheme, join an Estonian pension scheme? If so, what are my options? If not, what should I tell to the pension schemes in my country of residence?" Example: in Belgium, the system is based on semi-public bodies derived from the 19th century mutualist system (http://www.xerius.be/en/about-xerius). This is obviously not designed for e-residents, digital nomads or whatever. It runs smoothly if you incorporate as a sole trader in Belgium. What is the Leapin experience in this? (BTW: at yesterday's seminar, the Leapin guy said that they have some expertise about Germany, because many of their clients are German.
do you want to do this? What is the benefit of it?
… while minimizing bureaucracy. Not a problem for incorporated sole traders like you or Matt or me. But Noemi and Nadia need to be in some kind of social/health insurance system. World is designed around employees, but that's still a stretch for our limited admin capacity.

Men, Work and Family life: a study of policy and practice in the UK and Italy
This paper documents the key themes emerging from a collaborative literature review on fatherhood and paid work, undertaken both in the UK and in Italy6. The aims and objectives of the review are to consider what 'involved fatherhood' looks like and to identify the main factors that have been found to shape it. These are assessed against the prevalence of gendered structural and ideological constraints, which, on the one hand, bound the concept of 'involvement', yet can conceal a much more nuanced, day-to-day reality on the other. The review is a comparative one, as far as this is possible, by evaluating the literature on fatherhood both in the UK and in Italy and is organised according to the themes that were found to be dominant throughout. Much of the literature has a UK focus. In Italy, while there is a growing academic focus on fatherhood, in the context of men and masculinity, the body of literature on this theme is scant compared to that on women and motherhood, and also compared to the international context. In particular, little research has been conducted on fatherhood and paid work: the workplace culture is typically considered from a legislative point of view (Calafà, 2004, 2007).

The Children's Assessment Center of Houston Releases New Mobile Tendenci Website
The Children's Assessment Center of Houston launches new Website as Part of Major Expansion of Services
HOUSTON, October 5, 2016 –Tendenci (https://www.tendenci.com), the software development company spearheading the Tendenci Open Source platform, is pleased to release a newly-designed, mobile-responsive website for The Children's Assessment Center of Houston, a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of child sexual abuse and the healing of abuse victims. The website, https://www.cachouston.org/, provides information about the many services offered by CAC Houston, how to recognize and report child abuse, and information on ways to support their ongoing efforts to help Houston's children.
From the CAC Houston website:
The Children's Assessment Center (CAC) provides a safe haven to sexually abused children and their families - a place where they can receive the kind of care and treatment they so richly deserve.

Working directly in the browser with a user-friendly interface, the caring staff at CAC Houston can update the content, images, documents, forms and site layout as they continue to offer new services, launch expanded programs and pursue fund-raising efforts.
Mobile-responsive design was a driving factor for making changes to the layout as well as ugrading to the latest version of the Tendenci software. The Tendenci upgrade includes many new software features in addition to the stability and security of the upgraded infrastructure.
Focusing on the Capital Campaign was a central part of this project as the Children's Assessment Center works to complete a large, new facility to expand their community training programs for identification, reporting and prevention of child abuse. Reaching donors is an ongoing project for the development team as they seek to fund this campaign as well as support the wide breadth of services available to Houston-area children. The new website employs an engaging, mobile-friendly interface that explains the multitude of ways these donations make a difference, in addition to providing an immediate opportunity to donate online.
The modern responsive design combined with Tendenci's built-in SEO features boosts search engine placement, making it easier for those needing these services or wanting to support the organization to reach the CAC of Houston

Houston Public Library Foundation Selects Tendenci® CMS Platform to Power New Website
Showcases support for the Houston Public Library through advocacy, fundraising
HOUSTON, January 29, 2013 – The Houston Public Library Foundation (HPLF) has launched a dynamic website powered by Tendenci (www.tendenci.com), the open source Content Management System for nonprofit organizations (NPOs), which makes it easier than ever for Houstonians to support the Houston Public Library. The new website, www.houstonlibraryfoundation.org, was designed by Schipul - The Web Marketing Company (www.schipul.com), a leading Web marketing and software development company based in Houston.
HPLF is a 501(c)(3) organization focused on increasing the Houston community's awareness of the vital role our Houston Public Library plays in its quality of life. Featuring large, colorful photographs that depict how HPLF supports the Houston Public Library through advocacy and fundraising, the new website uses Tendenci's broad range of capabilities to promote upcoming events and sponsorship opportunities, recruit volunteers and encourage online donations. The organization also uses Tendenci's integrated digital media management package to organize, collect and share photos of HPLF's activities.
"Previously, our Web presence consisted of a single page on the Houston Public Library website, which didn't provide the platform we needed to engage the community, encourage donations and showcase how we use funds to advance the Library's mission," said Maya Houston, executive director of HPLF. "The team at Schipul did a great job of visually capturing and presenting what the foundation is all about and Tendenci CMS makes it easy to add and edit content to keep the site fresh and lively."
While the City of Houston supports the Library's basic expenses, such as salaries and materials, the Houston Public Library Foundation contributes significant funding for additional books and materials, programming, critical staff development and training, marketing and communications materials and minor refurbishment projects. Without the private funds raised by HPLF, many of the free programs the community relies upon, such as Summer Reading and resume writing classes, would not be possible.
Schipul has released Tendenci CMS as an open source product to give NPOs such as Houston Public Library Foundation greater control over their online presence. The Tendenci site automatically recognizes and accommodates mobile and tablet users by auto-resizing and formatting to the width and height of any device. Tendenci also allows administrators to manage online calendar events and registration for these events including reporting and e-mail notifications. It also features out-of-the-box search engine optimization and Web analytics integration to help maximize and track online visibility.
Tendenci CMS has more than 1 million users and currently powers hundreds of websites for nonprofit organizations and associations around the world, including Metropolitan New York Library Council (www.metro.org), Houston Technology Center (www.houstontech.org) and Komen Houston (www.komen-houston.org).

Social Shopping: How Social Media is Changing the Retail Industry
Those Nike sneakers you never wear? That jean jacket you outgrew? Chances are a complete stranger is willing to buy these from you. Because of the constant evolution of social media, selling online has never been easier. In a new era of social shopping, the phrase "something old, something new" has a revitalized meaning.
Jenn Luong, a senior at Masterman High School, sells clothes on the marketplace app Depop, which is modeled after Instagram. She decided to begin selling through the app after hearing about it from friends.
"I looked at my closet and got kinda mad at myself with the amount of money I had spent on clothes that I never wear," she said. "I got rid of all the stuff I hadn't worn in the last six months and probably wouldn't wear again. I gave my older stuff away to Goodwill and left the clothes that have name brands on them to sell."
Marketplace sites, where anyone with internet access can sell products and services, have been active since the 1990s, starting with Craigslist and eBay, both founded in 1995. Before them, the only ways to sell unused items were through thrift stores or face-to-face. E-commerce sites transformed the way people sell.
In 2016, Facebook introduced Facebook Marketplace, which allows users to buy and sell items within their community. Before Marketplace, Facebook reported that 450 million individuals were members of "buy and sell" Facebook groups. In 2018, the social media company reported that "more than one in three people on Facebook in the U.S. use Marketplace monthly." Facebook plans to introduce new Marketplace features that use artificial intelligence.
Sites dedicated solely to buying and selling are on the rise. Vinted was founded in 2008 by Milda Mitkute and Justas Janauskas. Last year, Forbes called Vinted "the world's largest pre-loved fashion marketplace."

that she was buying clothes that she never ended up wearing. (Courtesy of Vinted)
The marketplace app Depop was founded in 2011 by Simon Beckerman and was designed to be innovative in the way it is formatted. The app allows users to "like" and leave comments on photos of items. They can communicate with sellers via direct messages.
"I tried to implement all of the things which this new generation had with other products, so it was like Instagram with a buy button," Beckerman, previously Depop's head of design, said in an interview with Wired. "Young people, who used their phones a lot and are used to social networks, found that it was easy to use."
A big part of Depop's community are these same young people, looking to rid their closets of clothes and make extra cash.
Luong has sold items such as clothing from Urban Outfitters and college gear.
"Making your clothing item look sellable is pretty intensive," she said. "You have to pose in it and give it the best angle, which is super hard to do when you're short like me and you're trying to sell jeans."
Depop's search page, like the entire app, is inspired by social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. (Courtesy of Ebun Adebonojo/Workshop Staff)
Luong said she was excited when she sold more clothes than she thought she would.
"Selling connects you to people from everywhere. I'd never imagine that I'd be mailing clothes to a girl in the U.K.," she said. "It really shows you the power social media has to connect people around the world… I'm just glad my clothes are going to a good home!"

Tucídides de Farsàlia (en llatí Thucydides, en grec antic Θουκυδίδης) era un ciutadà de Farsàlia, a Tessàlia que era proxenos dels atenencs.

Era a Atenes el 411 aC durant la usurpació dels Quatre-cents. Quan va esclatar la revolta al Pireu contra el govern amb Teràmenes encapçalant la rebel·lió, Tucídides amb certes dificultats va poder impedir que fos enviat ràpidament un exèrcit oligarca al port, segons diu l'historiador Tucídides.

Indomitable | The online home of Chauncey DeVega: Making A List of Rustbelt America Movies: Reflecting on the Race, Class, and Gender Politics of the New Film "Out of the Furnace"
Making A List of Rustbelt America Movies: Reflecting on the Race, Class, and Gender Politics of the New Film "Out of the Furnace"
I do not shill for movies. As readers of WARN know, I tend to write longer critical essays than straight reviews and endorsements of a movie or TV show. I will have to break with that habit here. Several days ago I was very lucky to see the movie Out of the Furnace. It is one of the best, of the many movies, I have seen this year.
My movie tastes may deviate from those of the general public, as well as many professional reviewers. My love of the movie Cloud Atlas is an example. My likely unpopular view that 12 Years a Slave is an expert exercise in film-making, but not necessarily a great biopic, is a second outlier opinion.
Out of the Furnace is a brilliant and essential film with stellar performances by marquee actors such as Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Forest Whitaker, Sam Shephard, William Dafoe, Zoe Saldana, and Woody Harrelson that explores how globalization, deindustrialization, militarism, and class inequality have impacted Rustbelt America and its denizens.
Out of the Furnace is set in and around Braddock, Pennsylvania during Obama's 2008 presidential run and uses that moment as background and atmosphere which forces an uncomfortable question: what will the country's first black President (not) mean for improving the life chances of a multiracial working class who are dependent upon the United States' near dead and dying industrial manufacturing base?
A great film leaves an emotional and intellectual impression on viewers after they leave the theater. More than "what is this movie trying to tell me and us?", a great film drives the engaged viewer to want to learn more about the characters, their struggles, and the larger issues of public concern we as a society are struggling with.
Given my interests in American racial politics, I was moved to reflect on the racial diversity of the communities shown in Out of the Furnace. Race was present and real--as it should be in a movie that purports to any type of "social realism". But, race was not foregrounded in the film. Race is how class is lived in America. Yet, how is that rubric modified when a whole community, across the colorline, is dependent on a dying industry?
And how are the troubles and challenges in multiracial Braddock (and rural Appalachia) damning proof of Charles Murray's thesis in "Coming Apart" about the decline of "good culture" among White America?
Given my family's background, and subsequent travels as a child and teen, I am very familiar with the dead and dying multiracial Rustbelt communities on the East Coast. They are very racially segregated. But, these same communities are also very integrated in their shared working class ethos, culture, values, and sense of pride.
America has been inaccurately described as a "melting pot". Borrowing from Eduardo Bonilla Silva, the history of American society is more akin to that of a cauldron hanging over a fire in to which different European ethnic groups were thrown into the stew pot, while black and brown people were the kindling for the fire which cooked the meal of "Americanness". Globalization, Austerity, income inequality, changing racial demographics, and resurgent white supremacy in the Age of Obama have created the "furnace" for which the title of this movie, intentionally or not by its writers, is a beautiful metaphor.
What other movies would you add if we were making a list of films (within the last 50 years) that intelligently explore the dynamics of race, class, and gender in Rustbelt deindustrialized America?
In addition to Out of the Furnace, I would start with The Fighter, Winter's Bone, and An Officer and a Gentleman. What would you suggest?
It's set in the Great Depression rather than in post-industrial America, but Cinderella Man touches a lot of those themes.
Slap Shot is a hockey movie, but set in a Rust Belt town, and the minor team is being sold now that the local mill is being shut down. It's a comedy, but there's interesting stuff about class and masculinity.
Although it's in a meatpacking town in rural Minnesota, the documentary American Dream is the best thing made about the working class getting screwed in the 1980s. The town (Austin, Minnesota) is so much like my own economically altered hometown that watching it just about makes me cry. Roger & Me is another good doc on the topic.
Are you going to see Nebraska? Supposed to be great.
Dying to see it, although I imagine it will be painfully true to life.
Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby"
Tried to cover all the bases and got close.
"Grand Torino" was another well intentioned effort that got a little "paint by numbers" with regard to character originality. The "cover all the bases" scripts churned out by "liberal" Hollywood writers and directors looking for the "sympathetic to diversity" Oscar nod usually fail to have the minority character depth necessary to be more than about the white lead. Million Dollar Baby got close despite the "stock minority buddy movie" relationship between Eastwood and Freeman and explored the poor, white trash "female" aspiring to go beyond what has been the norm both in Hollywood and in real life. A white actor could have played the Freeman role and the film would have had the same impact.
"Putney Swope" is my still my favorite comedy within this genre. It has stayed relevant, to me, over the years when other films from the same era have started to show their age.
Thanks for the review, Chauncy.
"Blue Collar" the Richard Pryor film from 1978, about autoworkers being mistreated by both management AND their union. (Although I've never been an autoworker, I have experience being cheated by both management and my so-called union, so I could relate to the film).
Wonderful acting and film. I was thinking of it too.
Thanks. I had not even heard of this film. I hope to be able to catch it somewhere. Still have not seen "12 Years." My...umm...not very varied, area has not felt the need to bring it to the 'burbs. I'm going to check Netflix and HuluPlus, to see if they have a listing.
Got to see 12 Years a Slave if you can in a theater with a diverse audience. The reactions are more interesting than the movie in many ways.
Never heard of Putney Swope. I will have to check it out.
I just wish that people had been more organized back in the day, when they started to empty America of all that manufacturing. Maybe we could've stopped some of it.
I say shut the borders, no globalization, at least for us. That way we feed each other, not the whole world.
The process of making us into a 3rd world nation is about 98% complete.
memorialize the value that business had for the community before it's gone.
still I think does a nice job of capturing a feel for the community.

Q: App script: create file on the fly and trigger download of it in the browser I have been trying to do this, but seem to be unable to comprehend the whole picture.
I have a spreadsheet augmented with custom scripts that goes around the internet and collects stuff. I have added a new menu - 'download source data', which is intended to allow the user (me in this case) to have 'one click' download of the raw data in csv format. The problem is that the default export in csv is not doing all I need and I prefer to create the content of the file in script. I use ContentService. When I press the menu it goes and creates what is needed, however I would expect the script to trigger a download in the browser, but this does not happen.
So my question is: is it possible to do this from a menu (ActiveSpreadsheet.addMenu and there reference to my function). If yes, how do I tell the browser to start downloading the file with the contents of the created TextOutput. I have tried downloadAsFile('filename') but it does nothing. No errors are displayed.

A: DriveApp has a getDownloadUrl() method that you can use to show an url in a small popup Ui. You'll have to click on the url to start the download as there is no way to follow a link  without user action.
See this other post for an example of such a Ui, this is a standard url but the approach is exactly the same.

A: So the answer of the question is no: it is not possible to trigger file download by the user when clicking a custom made menu. Which is a shame:)
Thanks to Serge insas who had to be offended first and only then considered answering:)

Himalaya's Gentle Baby Soap effectively cleanses and conditions your baby's skin gently, leaving it soft and hydrated. Infused with the natural goodness of Olive oil and Almond oil that are rich in vitamins, Gentle Baby Soap ensures a healthy and glowing skin. Ideal for daily use. Free from artificial colours.
Olive Oil, enriched with vitamin E, nourishes, protects and softens skin and prevents chafing. It has soothing and antimicrobial properties, which keep your baby's skin healthy and soft.
Almond Oil is an excellent skin softener, which moisturizes your baby's skin. The vitamin A in the oil fights infections.
Wet baby's face and the body.
Himalaya Gentle Baby Soap Oils of Olive & Almond comes in regular cardboard case. The colour of the soap is pure white and is wrapped in plastic cover. This time Himalaya has failed to live up to its claims about the soap. It isn't like the other Himalaya baby care products. This has made my baby's skin dry and the glow on her face has been lost. Thus, ii have stopped using this on her face and body just after 4-5 days. This is herbal and totally safe for little ones, but fails to moisturize the skin. In fact, I t makes it even more dry and rough. This may also be not suitable for all the skin types.
I think the regular use of Himalaya Gentle Baby Soap Oils of Olive & Almond can lead to loss of my baby's skin moisture and lead to itchiness with dryness. This is thus not suitable for the child's sensitive skin. The soap contains Aloe Vera that is useful to keep the moisture balance while the Olive oil and Almond oil is useful to provide nourishment to the baby's skin as claimed, but this is not the case- no skin softening or healthy skin was observed.
The Vitamin E in this soap claims to prevent from soreness while Vitamin A is said to fight skin infections- I am not sure about this point as I have discontinued using this soap anymore. This is clinically tested, hypo allergic and free from any artificial colours.
The soap lathers well and spreads easily to gently clean the area. This is also easy to rinses and doesn't leave any residue behind. It is ideal to use the soap in winters.
Will I recommend Himalaya Gentle Baby Soap Oils of Olive & Almond?
No, never! Avoid using this on your baby's skin. This can harm the softness of the child and take off the natural glow.
Have you tried Himalaya Gentle Baby Soap Oils of Olive & Almond?

Q: Combining the text with same column name in python I have a question about using Pandas module in python to combine two DataFrame.
I have 125 rows and 125 columns in each DataFrame
In DataFrame 1:
     Test1      Test2      Test3      Test4      Test5      Test6 .....
Re1    Pos        Neg        Neg        Neg        Pos        Pos
Re2    Pos        Neg        Pos        Neg        Pos        Neg
Re3    Pos        Neg        Pos        Neg        Pos        Neg
Re4    Pos        Neg        Pos        Neg        Neg        Neg
Re5    Pos        Neg        Pos        Neg        Neg        Neg
.
.
.

In DataFrame 2:
     Test1      Test2      Test3      Test4      Test5      Test6 .....
Re1    Yel        Blu        Yel        Blu        Blu        Org
Re2    Blu        Blu        Blu        Yel        Blu        Blu
Re3    Org        Blu        Org        Yel        Yel        Blu
Re4    Org        Blu        Org        Yel        Yel        Blu
Re5    Org        Blu        Org        Org        Yel        Blu
.
.
.

What I want in the outcome is:
Combined Dataframe:
         Test1          Test2          Test3          Test4          Test5          Test6 .....

.

It may be a bit easy for you but since I am a beginner in python coding, it will be very helpful if someone can answer my question.
Thank you very much.

A: Pandas operators generally align values based on index and column labels. So simply adding the two DataFrames together adds the values element-wise with the correct alignment.
You can also add constant strings, such as '_', to the DataFrame if the values in the DataFrame are all strings and the constant will be broadcasted to all values in the DataFrame:
In [32]: dfa + '_' + dfb
Out[32]:
       Test1    Test2    Test3    Test4    Test5    Test6
Re1  Pos_Yel  Neg_Blu  Neg_Yel  Neg_Blu  Pos_Blu  Pos_Org
Re2  Pos_Blu  Neg_Blu  Pos_Blu  Neg_Yel  Pos_Blu  Neg_Blu
Re3  Pos_Org  Neg_Blu  Pos_Org  Neg_Yel  Pos_Yel  Neg_Blu
Re4  Pos_Org  Neg_Blu  Pos_Org  Neg_Yel  Neg_Yel  Neg_Blu
Re5  Pos_Org  Neg_Blu  Pos_Org  Neg_Org  Neg_Yel  Neg_Blu


I would get crashes with the recent FMs Dracula and Lord Alan's Factory. They start loading up, but when it comes time to actually start, the point where the briefing movie (if any) would play, they crash with the typical Windows error message asking to send report to Microsoft or not.
After researching on these and other forums, I concluded it was a codec problem that only a few people ever come up against. This is entirely different from the very common problem of all Thief movies not playing anymore, which can be fixed a few ways, listed in FAQs everywhere. No, this is something with an unknown solution, something that is rare enough and also hard enough to pin down that the most common solution is to just watch the briefing movie separately and turn it off for the game, which is no solution at all.
I have K-Lite codec pack installed on my computer, with "ffdshow" and "vobsub" active.
I noticed that when Dracula would crash, I would see the "vobsub" green arrow icon leftover in the system tray, but when I moused over it it would just disappear, so the icon was a ghost, having already turned off. This told me perhaps vobsub or ffdshow is at the root of the codec conflict. Also I knew that Dracula uses Indeo codecs too.
I went into my K-Lite program shortcuts and started "Codec Tweak Tool", in which I scrolled down to all the sections "Disable the following filters" (there are three or four sections) and disabled anything close to "ffdshow", "vobsub", and "Indeo".
Then I tried Dracula again and it quit (but not crashed) with a message saying it needed Indeo, so maybe I shouldn't have disabled the Indeo ones (but I just wanted to clear the slate from the K-Lite). So I just installed the Indeo 5.11 installer (available on the Dracula site and elsewhere, usually "iv5setup.exe"), and then Dracula worked! Woohoo! Lord Alan's Factory works now too, great!
I probably should have just turned off one thing at a time and tested it that way to know for sure the exact culprit, but at least now I know pretty close. I'm guessing that most likely if you just turned off the "vobsub" and maybe also the "ffdshow" it will work.
So I just installed the Indeo 5.11 installer (available on the Dracula site and elsewhere, usually "iv5setup.exe"), and then Dracula worked! Woohoo! Lord Alan's Factory works now too, great!
bah, Komag you should know better, the indeo codecs is an old one! but thanks for the heads up on the ffshow, namless has had a prob with that. looks like a lot of taffers are usbing the k-lite codec pack.
