Lipotein-Q is a selection of active ingredients with Keratin that bonds to the hair strands, providing an anti-aging effect that creates beautifully healthier hair. Its technology penetrates the hair cortex with Keratin to restore the loss of lipids, providing conditioning, smoothness, and enhancement. Environmental factors such as sun exposure and excess humidity ages hair faster, causing damage to the cortex and cuticle, photodegradation of amino acids, a breakdown of sulfur bridges and lipids, and decreases in melanin. These natural environmental factors make hair more prone to frizzing and give hair a rough physical appearance. Lipotein-Q is an excellent ally to help prevent and combat hair-aging.

Lessons from history: interesting facts about the past of banks in Uzhhorod
The Stories about the active development of the banking sector in Uzhhorod date that back to the time of the Subcarpathian Rus existence. The Details of this interesting topic are revealed by the journalist @Tetiana Literatі in one of the sections of the popular project "Lost Uzhhorod".
According to the author, it was really a period when the region developed actively, so the Uzhhorod's banks operated almost as much as now. The names and addresses of nine bank institutions were presented in the "Czechoslovak Republic Adresses list" and it concerned the town having only 20,000 people.
That time the building (now it's the building of the National Bank's office on Pushkin Square) in the Small Galagov district hasn't yet been constructed for the needs of "Národní banka Československá" ("People's Bank of Czechoslovakia") branch, so it was placed on the Koriatovycha square, 23. The Institution moved to a new massive building located on the then Tyršovo Square somewhere in the early 30's.
The Uzhhorod branch of the "Slovenská banka" ("Slovakian bank") operated in the "Bercsényi" hotel at the then Koriatovycha Square, 1.
And the "Dunajská banka" ("Danube Bank"), which was simply called in Hungarian "Dunabank", worked on Malmotstetska Street (now it is the beginning of Voloshyna Street to the so-called "cross").
Instead, a branch of the Agrarian Bank worked in the beautiful building at the corner of the Petőfi Square corner and the Pravoslavna embankment (now its facade is being repaired). It was the first Czechoslovak bank opened on the Subcarpathian Rus territory. It began its operating within February 1920, and after three years it moved to its own building located on the corner of the then Masaryk Square and the Palatsky embankment. The head of the department as of 1936 was Stanislav Rivola.
However, that time "Subcarpathian Bank" was the most well-known bank in Subcarpathian Rus undoubtedly. It became a true interwar sensation, it developed rapidly and successfully, and the people who founded the one and worked there, namely, Voloshyn, Grabar, Brashchayko, Grendzha-Donsky, Babota, Shandor and others, gave names to many modern streets of Uzhhorod and other Transcarpathian cities.
Follow us in the next publications about its fate.

Black Ferns have everything to lose, say underdog Wallaroos
Veteran lock Rebecca Clough believes the Wallaroos can use home ground advantage to upset the world number one New Zealanders.
Clough, 29, said her team's underdog status is also an advantage that could help the Wallaroos pull off a shock win over the Black Ferns, who go into the game as heavy favourites.
"We've been preparing for the last few months, Super W set a really good platform and we've been working our buts off, so this is just exciting, and we just want to play now," Clough said.
The last time Australia played the Black Ferns was in 2016, at Eden Park, where the side went down 67-3.
But Clough is a lot more confident this year, with the value of the inaugural Super W competition and increased preparation time both working to improve the Wallaroos as a squad.
"Each year camps are getting bigger, longer, the quality of coaching and quality of the girls is stepping up," she said.
"The prep that we had even before coming into camp has been unreal, nothing like we've ever had before."
Clough, who is veteran of three Wallaroo World Cup campaigns, believes history can be written - in more ways than one.
"The Black Ferns, their number one for a reason. They've got everything to lose though and we've got nothing to lose," Clough said.
"They're just flesh and bone just like we are, and we've got a huge point to prove.
"We know we're better than sixth in the world at the moment, so we're really excited."
The Wallaroos have been studying up on the Blacks Ferns, which vice captain Clough knowns will only strengthen their ability to predict and counter their rivals' strengths.
"It's a part of our analysis, that's how I play I always look at my opposition and study them thoroughly," Clough said.
"We've been working on so much these past few days, a lot of execution, skill execution, speed and it's all coming together. We're really gelling together really nicely."
Wallaroos rookie Shanice Parker, 20, is soaking up in her first Test experience with the squad, and having fellow West Australian Clough nearby is a major help.
"She's really taken me under her wing and really looked after me. All of the leadership group has been awesome with us young ones," Parker said.
"If given the green light to play Saturday night Parker will make her Wallaroo debut at home.
"It will be an awesome debut playing against the best in the world and I'm already getting a bit nervous just even thinking about it. If I don't make the 23 I'm just privileged to be in this extended squad and to make history."
The Wallaroos take on the Black Ferns from 5:15pm AEST at ANZ Stadium on Saturday, 18 August. The Wallabies also host the All Blacks in the first Bledisoe Cup game, kicking off at 7:45pm AEST. LIVE on FOX SPORTS and via RUGBY.com.au RADIO. Buy tickets here.

As announced there are plans to reorganize the Blender websites. Would it be possible to create a RDF file from the most recent news that people can use for integrating a Blender related newsticker on their websites, irc bots, etc.? Antihc has asked me how to integrate the news into the #gameblender bot. In my opinion it is a great idea and RDF would make things much easier!
What do you think?

'Google for Startups' Announces Black Founders Exchange Demo Day Winner
Annual Immersion Program Hosted for Companies with High Growth Potential at American Underground Startup Hub
(DURHAM, NC) – September 30, 2019 – American Underground and Google for Startups are excited to announce that Courtroom5 from Durham took top Demo Day honors at the 2019 Black Founders Exchange. The company's platform enables people to act as their own lawyer (i.e. a pro se litigator). It provides litigation tools such as document assembly and legal research, and hosts courses and live workshops. (You can contact Courtroom5 through Sonja Ebron at [email protected]).
The win earned Courtroom5's leadership an all-expense-paid trip to the San Francisco area to meet with potential partners and investors.
At Demo Day on Friday, September 27, each of the 11 participating companies presented for three minutes to a packed auditorium crowd at the historic Carolina Theater as to their mission, vision and investment potential. A group of select experts chose the ultimate winner.
Black Founders Exchange is an intensive immersion program founded in 2016 to further American Underground and Google for Startup's shared goal to support founders of color. Programming focused on how to navigate obstacles that are often faced by attendees – everything from what to do when facing racial bias in fundraising or how to build an effective network even if a startup is based in a so-called 'entrepreneurial desert.' Photos and other images are here.
From 2016 to present, 19 participating companies have collectively raised over $10.8M in funding since completing the program. This includes the 2016 cohort graduate SpokeHub, that completed a historic raise of $2M from primarily Black investors and 2017 cohort graduate Partake Foods, which raised a $1M seed round led by Jay-Z's Marcy Venture Partners. The goal of the program is for at least half of the startups to be funded within nine months of the program's conclusion. In past years, many startups reach that goal or have gotten well on their way, thanks to the week's grand finale event – a Google for Startups Demo Day event where founders pitch to a room of investors and community leaders.
This was also the first year that programming included an Alumni Summit designed to continue support for founders from past cohorts with the knowledge, connections, and resources as they look to expand their businesses to new markets. Alumni schedules included one-on-one sessions focused on operational feedback from regional and national business experts, technical insight from Google employees, and opportunities to connect with investors from around the country.
The 11 companies selected for the 2019 cohort (from an application of 160) came in with varied and diverse missions – focusing on, among other fields, health care, wealth management, property tech, supply chain software, social media, and renewable energy:
- Meter Feeder (Pittsburgh, PA)
- Courtroom 5 (Durham, NC)
- Film Connx (Atlanta, GA)
- SecondKeys (Memphis, TN)
- KWHCoin (Wilmington, NC)
- Shared Harvest Fund (Los Angeles, CA)
- Stimulus (Philadelphia, PA)
- Switchboard Live (Philadelphia, PA)
- HUED (New York, NY)
- Freeman Capital (Charlotte, NC)
- Uvii (New York, NY)
Relevant social media handles and hashtags include: #BlackFoundersExchange: Instagram: @AmerUnderground, @GoogleForStartups, Facebook: /AmericanUnderground, /GoogleForStartups, Twitter: @AmerUnderground, @GoogleStartups.

Strictly Come Dancing star Colin Salmon took show partner Kristina Rihanoff to Canada this week so they could continue training while he filmed a TV drama.
The 49-year-old actor, known to movie fans for his roles in James Bond films, had to head across the Atlantic to work on scenes for his programme Arrow which was shooting in Vancouver.
And to get in enough dance practice, Kristina had to fly out to be with him, although the pair were returning to the UK on Thursday morning.
Filming commitments have eaten into their rehearsal time, leaving them only two days of intensive training.
In a message to his professional partner online, Colin told her they would "be dancing ourselves to a frazzle".
Kristina, 35, visited him on set and posted pictures of herself on location on Twitter.
It was not until Wednesday that they managed to fit in a session to prepare this week's dance, an Argentine tango, which they will perform during the BBC One show's Hollywood-themed edition.
The pair may be battling fatigue by the time the programme comes round on Saturday night though, with Kristina admitting the globetrotting was already making her feel "Sooo tired".

One needs to know the common addresses to identify the places to visit in Vietnam. There are common terms used in the region which one needs to get accustomed to in order to effectively locate his destination. Gaining access to tourist attraction sites such as the national museums, game parks, historical sights among others attract fees which range from a dollar to the maximum of $4. Souvenirs such as photographs though attract additional fees on the sites.
The living standard of the locals is averagely low making the cost of food manageable to a person who was generally prepared for the visit. Drinks and accommodation as well are meaningfully affordable given the fact that bargaining is the mode of price determination in this part of the world. Cheapskates can spend a paltry $25 and squanderers can manage to do with $50 daily basis, consuming mod cons, good food and consuming a couple of beers.
Source of power
The main source of power is electricity which is customarily rated at 220 volts. Adopters are all over electrical shops and are necessary for the country is notorious for power surge which may cause damage to electronic devices.
Where to go to Vietnam for Customs compliance
The most common document needed to get access to Vietnam, just like other nations the world over is the visa safe for the nationals of some Nordic and Asian countries. One needs to ascertain the duration allowed for in the visa documents so as not be found with obsolete visa. The visas are obtained from the visitor's countries of residence from the embassies directly or from the travel agents. The processing takes a week through the embassies may offer express visas at an extra cost. p
Visa extensions
There is the provision for a three times visa extension at additional costs but one must be wary of fines meted on those who overstay their visas.
Culture and norms
The residents tend to inflexible in terms of culture but very accommodative to other people's way of life. Visitors are advised to keep to some simple roles in order to minimize the incidences of conflict with locals who reside in the rural areas and small urban centers where people are not used to foreigners' way of life.
Societal orientation
Acts such as homosexuality, drug and substance consumption as well as prostitution are regarded as a social evil in society. Open discrimination is rare and people co-exist in harmony and coherence.
This is not done in the open but silently exist especially in hotels when one is served very well on when the driver offers you quality services.
Comprehensive travel cover
In order to travel to Vietnam, it is advisable for one to have a good travel insurance policy to ensure himself against theft, loss of property or illness. The insurance is also vital especially if one wants to get involved in the so-called dangerous sports such as rock climbing, trekking and kite surfing.
The internet and electronic mails
It is very easy to access the net in the country through the government keeps track of the occurrences to guard against potential cyber crimes and threat to security. The hotels in the country provide access to the internet through some social media platforms are a no-go zone.
Laundry services are offered in most hotels at a fee which varies seriously hence one must find out to ascertain the rates to avoid embarrassment.
Personal emails
Mails take a couple of days to weeks depending on where they have been sent from or where they are headed for. Towns boast of efficiency in mail delivery and rates levied for overseas communication are also reasonable. One needs to keep off pirated Compact Discs and any other suspect materials while on the visit.
Direction and guides
The most reliable map for guiding visitors is the Vietnam Rough Guides Map (1:1,200,000). This can be used to locate places to visit and predict the scenes and experiences to find.
Unit of account
When you visit Vietnam, you need their local currencies. The Vietnamese unit of exchange is the dong which is customarily abbreviated as "d", "d" or "VND" after an amount.

Information center
Several tourist information centers are maintained in the country from where one can get vital information.

There's nothing like a big man with a meaty cock. Or is that a meaty man hung big? We like our men big and meaty all around, but whichever way you like yours, Brad Kalvo, Russell Tyler, Marc Giacomo, Ronan Delaney, Luis Vega, Dean Gauge, Graydon Emory Ford, and Atlas Grant are sure to satisfy. Because whether they're top or bottom, these hot, hairy men get hard and work up a sweat to deliver the goods, just the way you like. Big and Meaty...hmmm. Now, doesn't that make you hungry?
We all enjoy a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of scene, but every once in awhile, it pays to take your time, slow down and do things right. And that's just what Ronan Delany and Russell Tyler did. After a long make-out session with plenty of tongue action and spit swapping, they strip down and feel each other up before getting down to the business of eating ass. Ronan doesn't just eat Russell, he treats the bearded ginger to a good tongue fuck, sampling the pink morsel as he slathers it with spit. When Ronan is good and ready, he slides home raw and gives Russell a steady bareback fuck. They soon flip, and Ronan gets on all fours for a doggy-style pounding. And after flipping on his back, after Russell stretches Ronan open, both end up shooting their loads side-by-side. Ronan's is a good shot, but Russell's orgasm is like a volcano erupting!
Beefy, thick, and uncut Marc Giacomo makes out with bearded, hungry cocksucker, Ronan Delaney. Kissing soon turns to dick sucking, and Ronan certainly knows how to slobber on a juicy slab like Marc's. But Marc is no slouch at blowing that meat whistle either. However, he's much better at eating ass. He rims and fingers Ronan in a way that will leave you breathless! Marc slides his raw cock in Ronan's tight hole and fucks the daddy bareback, eventually rewarding the man with a tasty load. Ronan, on his back, then strokes one out while savoring Marc's cock and load.

Albicalor Product Representation
The operation of a heat pump can be compared to that of a refrigerator, but in reverse
The heat from the air is drawn into the accumulator through the heating system. To raise the temperature, the vapor of the coolant is compressed until it reaches a temperature high enough to heat the water.
The temperature can reach 55ºC
Able to respond to the requirement of hot water in large quantity.
"Tranquil Flow" Technology
It guarantees the stability of the water temperature in the accumulator, so that the volume of hot water can increase by 30%.
Eco-Friendly Solution
With the solar system in support of the heat pump, it saves energy and makes the system more efficient, reducing energy dependence.
High efficiency due to scroll compressors
For the production of heat, the energy is extracted from the ambient air and with it the coolant is vaporized. The gas obtained is compressed and heated in the scroll compressor, transmitting the heat from the condenser to the sanitary hot water and then liquefying. Finally, the coolant, still under pressure, is released by an expansion valve and the circuit is restarted.
Intelligent defrost technology
If the air inlet temperature in the equipment is too low the unit will freeze. In the defrosting process, the fan to ventilate and the compressor continues to produce energy, increasing the temperature of the condenser which will cause the ice to melt.

Following the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the government and health workers, the ZHDA was given the mandate to engage its members to return to work within 48 hours ending today 7 January 2018 at 2018 at 1700.
They carried widespread consultations of its members as per agreement. The ZHDA members nationwide, however, felt that the agreement did not take cognizance of their immediate incapacitation in a raging economy as no current offer was made on the remuneration of the Doctors to improve their welfare.
Additionally, there were no timelines and evaluable targets for the provision of Drugs and protective equipment to government hospitals. The ZHDA had for the past 3 months indicated to its employees the paramount need to address these matters.
The ZHDA members have therefore remained incapacitated and will not be able to resume normal duty till these matters have been addressed by their employer.
It is important to note that the available ZHDA members who have shown up for duty in various hospitals have since indicated they will be re-joining those at till the mentioned grievances have been met. It is our hope that the situation will be resolved with the urgency it deserves.

The Friends We Keep
The Friends We Keep
If there's one reliable indicator that summer is on the way, it's the publication of the newest novel by Jane Green. Her latest is no exception; it's the kind of book that will be equally at home in your beach bag or on the coffee table at your next book group discussion.
THE FRIENDS WE KEEP traces the lives of three friends over several decades, from when they meet as first-year students at an English university in the 1980s until they are reunited --- all of them much changed --- in their 50s.
Maggie is in many ways the most conventional of the friends. She's an attractive English girl who finds herself attracted to the moody bartender (she and her friends dub him Evil Ben) at their local pub. Unlike her friends, Maggie knows she's not destined for stardom, but she'll be perfectly happy if she can settle down with a nice man (perhaps Evil Ben?) and raise a large family. But life --- in the form of infertility and addiction --- has a way of disrupting even the sunniest, best-laid plans, and in middle age Maggie finds herself adrift and unsure how to fill the empty rooms in the manor house she and Ben once optimistically bought together.
"Readers will enjoy seeing how Evvie, Topher and Maggie reconcile the young people they were then with the more mature but still evolving adults they are now."
At college, Maggie and Evvie became roommates by accident. Both despised the girls with whom they were originally matched, so they pulled some strings to wind up together. Evvie, who is half Jamaican, was a child star on a sitcom much like "The Cosby Show," and she has aspirations to continue acting after college. But her problematic relationships with men and with her body --- not to mention a disturbing dependence on diet pills --- make those goals increasingly complicated. And when Evvie and Maggie reunite after decades apart, Evvie has to decide whether and how to confess a possibly unforgiveable secret to her one-time best friend.
The third leg in this friendship tripod is occupied by an American man, Topher, who, like Evvie, is an aspiring actor. Topher is funny and affectionate, but dislikes being touched or hugged --- and even though Evvie and Maggie suspect from day one that he is gay, he has trouble accepting his own sexuality. When, after a stint on a soap opera and the publication of a bestselling memoir, Topher comes to terms with secrets in his own past, he finally begins to heal --- but remains in some ways fundamentally alone.
THE FRIENDS WE KEEP traces each friend's history both jointly and independently, with a particular focus on Maggie's troubled marriage and its aftermath. Readers will enjoy seeing how Evvie, Topher and Maggie reconcile the young people they were then with the more mature but still evolving adults they are now. Some may find the resolution of the book's central conflict a bit too hastily achieved. But in the end, Green's novel is about forgiveness, self-acceptance, and learning to truly see and appreciate the people in our lives for who they are, however imperfect.
I fully expect to see THE FRIENDS WE KEEP on countless beach blankets and poolside lounges this summer.

Critics remain skeptical Gulf kingdom will fulfill latest labor reform promises
When the labor minister of World Cup 2022 host Qatar met one of the country's most vocal critics on worker rights this month, the fact they were talking was a surprise. But the outcome of the apparently hours-long discussion between Issa Saad al-Jafali al-Nuaimi and International Trade Union Confederation general secretary Sharan Burrow was entirely unexpected.
They shook hands and agreed a wholesale package of labor reforms, which—if implemented—represent a massive change in conditions for Qatar's two million migrant workers helping to ready the country for the World Cup.
Since being controversially chosen to host the event, for which it is spending $500 million a week, Qatar has been routinely accused of forcing workers to toil in conditions likened by critics to modern-day slavery. Those critics remain skeptical that Qatar will actually deliver on these latest promises, claiming they have backtracked before.
But Burrow believes this is a game-changer.
"For workers it's a revolution," she told AFP. "Being free to choose to work in the Gulf with appropriate rights and conditions." The reforms agreed include the introduction of a minimum wage, job contracts being lodged with the government so they cannot be changed on arrival in Qatar and, crucially, employers no longer being able to stop staff from leaving the country.
This last point has been one of the major criticisms of Qatar by human rights groups and unions, including ITUC. Qatar also announced that the Cabinet had agreed to establish a "workers insurance and support fund."
ITUC said the proposals meant the beginning of the end for "kafala"—under which all foreign workers need a local sponsor in order to work, maintain residency, and leave the country.
Burrow added that the minister had given "commitments" that the reforms would be carried out and change would begin in the "first couple of months of next year." She even praised the "courage" shown by Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Nuaimi in agreeing to the reforms.
It is a remarkable turn of events.
The formidable Burrow was once described to AFP, anonymously, as being "hated" by officials in Qatar and it was ITUC who first published the headline-grabbing figure of 1,200 workers dying building World Cup facilities. The reforms, now agreed by Qatar and the International Labor Organization, came ahead of a meeting that could have seen the launch of an embarrassing formal investigation by the U.N. agency into the World Cup host's treatment of migrant workers.
On the surface it appears to deliver all that critics have long campaigned for. However, there remains skepticism that Qatar will really deliver true change.
Mustafa Qadri, executive director of Equidem, a human rights research organization, said the reform package was "a positive sign" but also stressed the need to wait for results. "We have heard this before in 2014 when the government came out and said it would abolish kafala and get rid of the exit permit," he told AFP. "Then what we saw was that reform was slow and there were some changes but not the abolition of kafala."
There is concern among campaigners that Qatar could still fail to deliver on its promise to let workers leave the country without permission of employers.
"The big question is if Qatar does not quickly demonstrate that they have acted in good faith and that they are serious about reform," said Nicholas McGeehan, an expert on migrant workers. "I would have been a lot more confident if they had promised a lot less."
In a statement, Amnesty International's James Lynch said it would ultimately be the actions of the Qatari government, which would determine "whether this is a true game changer."
Responding to the emerging skepticism, Saif Al-Thani, the director of Qatar's Government Communications Office, tweeted that the hugely wealthy emirate would develop its labor laws in line with international standards.
There may also have been another factor at play for Doha's apparent concessions—the ongoing Gulf crisis, which has seen Qatar boycotted by neighboring countries. Qatar has repeatedly claimed the boycott has impacted on the human rights of its citizens, and arguably the most vocal body during the nearly five-month-old dispute has been its National Human Rights Committee.
Claiming rights abuses by others, while being accused of the same thing with regards to migrant workers, is not an easy thing for Qatar to explain. By radically overhauling its treatment of migrant workers, Qatar would also distinguish itself from other states in the region and present itself as more progressive than its neighbors.
But despite the optimism, one organization remains beyond Burrow's praise. "FIFA sat on the sidelines for more than five years," she said. "They had the power to work effectively and did nothing. Now we can look forward to a World Cup with workers' rights. FIFA becomes a beneficiary but no thanks to them."

We recently introduced our Developed Markets (DM) Equity Allocation model. Building on the success of our EM model, this new framework extends our analysis to cover 24 DM equity markets. Our analysis is meant to assist global equity investors in assessing relative sovereign risk and optimal asset allocation across countries within the DM universe.
Global equity markets have come under pressure in recent weeks as the US-China trade war intensified. Given the latest flare-up, we do not expect a trade deal until 2020 at the earliest. We remain very concerned about the global headwinds and do not believe that the liquidity story is enough to offset the downside risks to growth.
Market expectations for aggressive Fed easing have helped support global equity markets. Fed Funds futures are still pricing in nearly 75 bp of cuts this year and 50 bp more next year. We remain constructive on the US outlook and so we think markets are likely to be disappointed by the Fed this week.
MSCI World peaked near 2221 on July 25. Since then, MSCI World has fallen nearly 4%. The next downside target is the June 3 low near 2040, but the 200-day moving average near 2080 lent some support during last week's slide. Looking further back, MSCI World has retraced about 25% of this year's rally. The major retracement objectives for this move come in near 2078 (38%), 2034 (50%), and 1990 (62%).
MSCI World is still up 14.6% YTD. This compares to 3.2% YTD for MSCI EM. It's worth noting that the correlation between EM and DM stocks is currently 0.62. Whilst below this month's peak near .68, it is above the low around 0.58 at the start of this year. Within DM, the best performers YTD have been Switzerland, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, while the worst have been Japan, Israel, and Norway.
We believe it is very important for investors to continue focusing on country fundamentals. Hedging out currency risk will become more important for US investors if the strong dollar trend resumes. Furthermore, we continue to look for potential divergences within DM. Regionally, North America is the best equity performer so far in 2019 (17.7% YTD), followed by Europe (13.3% YTD) and the Pacific (6.2%).
Our 1-rated grouping (outperformers) for Q3 2019 consists of Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, Austria, and Denmark. Sweden and Denmark both improved to 1, helping to push Israel down from 1 to 2. Spain and Switzerland improved from 3 to 2, helping to push the US and Singapore down to 3. We note that of the top 10 countries, 7 are in Europe, 2 are in Asia, and 1 is in the Middle East.
Our 5-rated grouping (underperformers) for Q3 2019 consists of Greece, Japan, Italy, Germany, and Portugal. This is the same group as last quarter. We note that of the bottom 10 countries, 7 are in Europe, 2 are in Asia, and 1 is in North America.
There were several more notable movements. France and Belgium both improved from 4 to 3. Finland dropped from 2 to 4, while Hong Kong dropped a second straight quarter, this time from 3 to 4.
Since our last update on April 10, our proprietary DM equity portfolio has risen 0.2%, outperforming MSCI World (-0.6%). Overweighting the US, Australia, New Zealand, and Denmark helped our return as these markets outperformed. Underweighting Japan, Germany, Canada, and the UK helped our return as these markets underperformed.
What calls hurt our model return? Overweighting Singapore and Finland hurt our return as these markets underperformed, albeit with relatively small weights. Elsewhere, underweighting France and the Netherlands hurt our return as these markets outperformed with relatively large weights.
Our equity allocation model is meant to assist global equity investors in assessing relative sovereign risk and optimal asset allocation across countries in the DM universe. The countries covered include all 23 of the countries in the MSCI World Index. We have also included Greece in this model. Even though MSCI puts the nation in MSCI EM, we continue to view it as DM.
A country's score reflects its relative attractiveness for equity investors – the likelihood that its equity market will outperform the rest of our DM universe over the next three months. A country's score is determined as a weighted composite of 15 economic and political indicators that are each ranked against the other 23 countries in our model DM universe. Categories are industrial production growth, real interest rates, export growth, expected P/E ratio, real bank lending, yield curve steepness, real money growth, GDP growth, investment/GDP, per capita GDP, inflation, retail sales, political risk (EIU), leading indicators, and ease of doing business (World Bank). A country that is typically ranked first in many of the categories will end up with a low composite score (the lower the better).
From a portfolio construction standpoint, we are benchmarking to MSCI World. As a result, our BBH model portfolio weights will be Underweight/Overweight compared to the MSCI weights.
- Countries that are rated 1 will have a BBH weight that is 2.00 X MSCI World weight.
- Countries that are rated 2 will have a BBH weight that is 1.50 X MSCI World weight.
- Countries that are rated 3 will have a BBH weight that is equal to MSCI World weight.
- Countries that are rated 4 will have a BBH weight that is 0.75 X MSCI World weight.
- Countries that are rated 5 will have a BBH weight that is 0.50 X MSCI World weight.
To have the BBH model portfolio weights add up to 100%, there may be some exceptions to the rules outlined above. However, we will always try to keep to these parameters as closely as possible.
In the past, we have taken a simple average of each grouping (1 through 5) to determine model performance. That allowed small markets to skew the results. We are now taking a weighted approach, with country returns weighted by the BBH model weightings. Then, we compare our model performance against the benchmark MSCI World.Full story here Previous post See more for Next post

Earlier this year, I decided to reteach myself how to use Zbrush. For practice, I opted to use my old Glorfindel design; I threw in a Balrog as well, in case I ever wanted to rig and animate the models later for some sort of "Glorfindel vs the Balrog" short.
Below are some work-in-progress shots that I've posted elsewhere online earlier this year; both models are pretty much done now, but I don't want to post any finished images until I have time to do the textures… which I'll be doing later on, after I've also finished modeling a character from a different project (see the second half of this post) so I can do all my texture work at once.
Early phase of modeling, just blocking all the shapes in.
Getting the character of the face right.
Transferring the main mesh from Zbrush to Maya for retopology.
Balrog studies. These were based off the FotR film, but I also looked at a lot of Bison and Ram skulls.
A thumbnail I drew that I just really liked the feel of, and tried to incorporate into the final design.
Behold the beauty of zSpheres.
Getting into the details of the face.
In addition to Glorfindel and the Balrog, I've also not so secretly been hinting at the fact that I'm working on a game. Awhile ago, I started teaching myself how to use game engines like Unity and Unreal, and I decided the best way to learn was to do. As a result, I'm currently working on a prototype in my spare time of a third-person adventure game primarily based around walking around in Nordic-inspired landscapes.
I'm currently finishing up the modeling phase and will be transitioning to rigging within the next week or so. I don't plan on unveiling the full character until after rigging is complete, but here are some of the work-in-progress shots I've posted elsewhere online over the last month or so.
Creating a base mesh with good topology that I can reuse as a starting point for future projects.
The early stages of modeling hair and clothing.
Drew NURBS curves on top of the poly mesh and used nHair to preview what the hair might look like. I'll be using textures on polyplanes in the actual game.
I plan on posting turnaround videos for all three of these characters near the end of the year.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
It was God that saved us and not we ourselves. I thank Him for having come and sought me out loving me when I did not love Him. 1John 4:19. He loved me while I was still a sinner. Romans 5:8. He saved me by His grace. Ephesians 2:8-9.
Now I have another promise of His grace. Not only did He save me but He will finish what He started. He is not only the Author but the Finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2.
Paul was confident that God would finish what He started in us. He will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. What a wonderful promise. Your salvation is not in doubt if you are truly born again.
Not only that He is at work in you. The Holy Spirit is convicting you of sin. He is placing desires in you to serve and honor Him. Philippians 2:13. He is disciplining you when you get off track and do your own thing. Hebrews 12:8.
He is using everything that happens in your life to conform you to the image of His Son. Romans 8:28-29. You still have a lot to learn. He is still at work in a big way. He will be working all the time.
As you read the Scriptures you will learn how to please Him. You will want to please Him. As you hear the Word of God preached the Holy Spirit will work in your life to draw you closer and closer to Him. He will use every circumstance, every message, every thought, every prayer, every bit of Scripture you read to grow you.
Some of the experiences will not be pleasant. Some of the experiences will be to show you what you are doing is not pleasing to Him. But the wonderful promise is that you can know that He will finish what He started in you!

GraphQL is both a language and a tool that can simplify your API and save some development hours to your project because you don't need to create different endpoints for single data structure. With Quarkus, it can be done really easily with vertx extension.
Let's start with a simple example. You have a simple service that returns project teams and users for them. You'll need:
- Create endpoint to get all teams + create an endpoint to get a single team
- Create an endpoint that will give you all users of a team.
- Alternatively, you can use ORM to return teams with users in them as a one large result
- An endpoint that will only return teams with users, but users only have a name.
I included #4 because you might have some really large object(imagine that user has 200 fields, and you return thousands of them. And your clients only need their names to display in a search result.
If you're looking for Microprofile GraphQL(the one with annotation support) please follow to official Quarkus guide.

Jura manuals & Error Codes
Very often minor issues or problems can be rectified by checking through the manual - so in the first instance try the following link which will take you to jura's website page on which you can select the model of Jura machine you have and download the appropriate Jura user manual in pdf to allow you to check for the correct operation.
Once you have checked the manual and are familiar with the correct operation, we have provided below a selection of frequent issues that we have come across over the last 10 years and which may help to get you going again or at least to know what sort of problem you are dealing with.
Common problems and possible remedies.
Jura Error codes
Jura Error codes 1 to 5: the most frequent being Jura Error 2 and Jura Error 4 - and refer to the Jura Thermobloc (water heater units) and temperature systems and will indicate that the Jura machines logic board is receiving a signal that is outside tolerance values - in other words either the sensor has failed and is not sending a signal or an incorrect signal OR the thermobloc is not heating, this is often because the thermal fused cords which supply the thermobloc with its power are designed to "blow" cutting power if the thermobloc gets too hot as a safety precaution.
This in turn can often be caused by a failed sensor allowing the thermobloc to overheat.
In all Error code cases the first thing to do is disconnect the power from your Jura and allow the machine a few minutes before reconnecting the power - this will confirm if it is a hard fault or just a glitch - sometimes if the machine has been exposed to low temperatures, for example, it can take a while for the thermblocs to heat up and your Jura can see this as a fault (it has a time limit in which to heat the thermobloc to correct temp - starting again will often clear the issue if there is no actual damage )
If the above is unsuccessful, it is likely we will need to open your Jura and change some parts - usually the sensor for the appropriate thermobloc (some Jura models like the Jura z5 and Jura Z7 have two) and the fused cords - because if the sensor has failed it is likely to have overheated the cords to a point where they are weakened and if the fused cords have blown then is is likely that was because the sensor allowed the thermobloc to overheat.
On rare occasions the power board which switches on and off power to the thermbock can have a fault which stops it from cutting power to the thermobloc when temperature is reached causing the same symptoms - and this would need a new board, as once the damaged sensor and fused cords have been replaced they will be blown again.
Jura Error 6 - this is the electronic ceramic valve, seen on Jura Z5, Jura X5, the Jura J9, J5 and J6 and the Jura Z6,Z8 and Z9 machines and several other units. This valve has a motor which can often be heard whirring at start up and it is responsible for directing water and steam to different outlets and dumping waste steam pressure to the condenser block. This error indicates that the electronic ceramic valve is not operating correctly, it can be jammed with scale, it can be leaking or have water leaking onto it causing the circuits to short out or it could just be failed.
Jura Error 8 - this is a frequent issue on Jura coffee machines, mainly because it refers to the Jura Brew unit which as you can imagine is the heart of the machine in constant operation making the coffee.
The causes of error 8 on the Jura coffee machines are often instantly diagnosed as brew unit failure - however in our 10 years working on Jura coffee machines, We have established that the cause of the Error 8 can be any or several of a number of components.
For Error 8 to be displayed, your Jura is saying that as far as its sensors are aware, the brew unit has failed to move correctly through its cycle, this can be the obvious tired and stiff brew unit, it can be the drive encoder failing to give the correct information to the logic board. If a loud grinding noise precedes the error 8 then the brewer drive motor is likely to have fractured one of its mountings and if a series of loud clicks but no real movement of the brewer precedes the Error 8 then the transformer is probably failing under load and requires replacement, there is still another possibility with the error 8 and that is that the relay on the power distribution board is sticking and not engaging power to the brewer motor.
Jura System Messages
"Fill System" message - this is given when your Jura machine does not register any or enough water passing the flow meter - first check as a user, is the water tank - Is the black magnetic float in the water tank free and able to move up and down (this will more often give the message "fill water tank" - then under the tank on the tank itself, is a small circular valve which can be pushed up (when over a sink ideally) to release water - a good flow of water should escape when doing this. If you have a filter in the water tank, try removing it temporarily, as some filters have been know to block flow from new!
The flow meter may have some sticky debris in from sludge in the tank that can accumulate if not cleaned out regularly - It may help to put hot (not boiling) water in the tank and press rinse a few times, as this can get the flow meter moving again.
Is any water coming out of the front of your jura machine? or into the tray? when rinse is pressed? If nothing gets through it is very likely blocked inside with scale, and may need to be disassembled to locate the blockage and successfully clear it - sometimes just running a strong solution of 6 Jura descale tablets in 500ml of warm water in the tank and pressing rinse will remove the blockage, but be aware that it could create a leak from elsewhere in the fluid system due to the pressure required to shift the blockage - also there is quite a distance of pipe from the tank to the likely blockage and to get the descale solution to the point where it is required would require that water to be pushed through, which the blockage is stopping, so it would be necessary to disconnect the pipework as close to the blockage as possible and pump the solution through, or in some cases replace the blocked component altogether.
"Fill Beans"
Apart from the obvious empty bean container, a Jura coffee machine displaying the message "fill beans" when the bean hopper is full is indicative that insufficient coffee powder has reached the brew unit. This can be either because of a powder blockage, if you can hear the grinder operating before the brew unit cycles and then says "fill beans" it is possible that the output of the grinder is blocked with fine powder, you may be able to clear this with a vacuum cleaner, but it may need proper dismantling to remove all the obstruction and clean and recalibrate the grinder blades. If you cannot hear the grinder operate before the brewer cycle, it is most likely that the grinder motor has failed or burnt out, or the power pcb that feeds it has blown. Cafe Select carry new Jura Grinder units on board for most models, power boards are harder to diagnose remotely and if needed when visiting site, we would order a new one and remove to the workshop for fitting, returning the machine to site upon completion, there is no extra charge for the revisit, only the cost of parts as necessary.
"Empty Tray"
If your Jura coffee machine is giving the message "empty tray" and you have just emptied the tray, there are a few things you can check - the machines that have metal tray contacts on the back of the drip tray need to have ALL dirt, water or coffee oil cleaned from between the two contacts, as any residue can become moist and will conduct the current between the two metal plates giving the "empty tray" message. If you have been running a lot of hot water or steam directly into the tray, it is possible for the internal contacts to become damp and this may take 24hrs to dry out - IF you turn on the machine and the message is gone, but shortly after a rinse or coffee the message re-appears? then it is very possible that there is a leak inside which is finding its way down to the internal contacts, this would be more likely on Jura X9 / Jura X7 models, as on Jura Z, Jura J series and Jura Giga machines leaking onto the tray contacts is not possible due to the layout of the machine internals.
It is worth noting that Jura Z series, Jura J series, Jura Ena and Jura Giga machines have a microswitch located just above the waste bin at the front of the machine which tells the machine when the waste bin support is in place - this microswitch can get coffee residue on it and stick in the closed position, fooling the machine into thinking that the tray is still there and as a consequence not acknowledging that the tray has been removed for emptying in the course of a clean or de-scale.

I recently started doing a lot more standalone JavaScript front end development, often using CoffeeScript, less, jade, or other modern web stack components. Compiling assets like these is pretty much a solved problem when they are being delivered from a server side web stack like Rails, but I found myself in need of a JavaScript-based solution for statically compiling, serving, and testing my code.
I first looked into simple solutions involving node Cakefiles and static site generators like wintersmith, but I found these solutions lacked the power and flexibility I needed. At this point, through an obscure comment in a Google Talk thread about wintersmith, I heard my first reference to Grunt.
The front page of Grunt immediately looked promising, offering support for CoffeeScript, handlebars, jade, JSHint, and less — a significant portion of the tech our team was using. The plugins page revealed a list several hundred items long. Since every technology needed for my project at the time had at least one plugin on the list, I decided to dive into Grunt.
Fortunately for me, Grunt tasks are very consistent and easy to configure, and Grunt itself has excellent documentation. Configuring Grunt in fact only requires two files: a
package.json file specifying which Grunt plugins you are using, and a
Gruntfile.js or
Gruntfile.coffee file to configure each task.
A Simple Example
Let's look at a simple grunt configuration to compile CoffeeScript files into JavaScript. We can use the
grunt-contrib-coffee plugin to do this (the contrib in the name indicates that that particular plugin is maintained by the Grunt team.). First off, we need to put the appropriate dependencies into our package.json file.
{ "name": "my-project-name", "version": "0.1.0", "dependencies": { "grunt": "latest", "grunt-contrib-coffee": "latest" } }
Here we declare the only two dependencies we need: the latest versions of Grunt, and the contrib-coffee plugin.
Now we can configure the coffee task in our Gruntfile.coffee. I prefer to use CoffeeScript for my Gruntfile because it is supported by Grunt out of the box and it makes the configuration much more concise:
module.exports = (grunt) -> grunt.initConfig coffee: all: options: bare: true files: [ src: ["./app/src/**/*.coffee"] dest: "./public/js/app.js" ] grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-coffee"
There's a lot of information in the above configuration, so lets take an in-depth look at it. The first line simply defines an entry point for the Grunt object to be inserted into our configuration via nodejs's module system. The second line calls Grunt's initconfig method, which takes a Grunt configuration object as an argument.
The next section is our CoffeeScript task configuration. We start by defining a subtask
all. While we don't strictly have to do this because we only have a single subtask right now, it will make it easier to add other subtasks later. Within this configuration, we have two sections,
options and
files. As you would probably expect,
options is where you set predefined configuration options for the task, and
files is where you define the files that the task will operate on.
In our config, we are setting the
bare option to true, which tells the CoffeeScript compiler to not wrap its output in a function.
files section specifies an array with one item, an object with a
src and
dest parameter. As you can see in our
src parameter, Grunt supports file glob syntax out of the box, allowing you to dynamically define which files you want to target. Since our dest is only one file, the coffee task also implicitly knows that it needs to concatenate all of the source files it finds into a single output file.
The last line simple loads the contrib coffee task from our our installed node_modules.
That's all that is needed to configure a simple, automated build process for your CoffeeScript Source. Running
grunt coffee:all from the command line will execute our defined task.
A More Comprehensive Example
Unfortunately, doing simple CoffeeScript compilation is rarely the only thing you need to do to build a complex client side project. So let's look at a more complete configuration for an AngularJS project I'm working on in my spare time. First, the Gruntfile.
module.exports = (grunt) -> grunt.initConfig appDir: "./app" srcDir: "<%= appDir %>/src" contentDir: "<%= appDir %>/content" templateDir: "<%= appDir %>/templates" vendorDir: "<%= appDir %>/vendor" cssDir: "<%= appDir %>/stylesheets" testDir: "./test" buildDir: "./tmp/build" outputDir: "./public"
Here we start our Grunt config the same way we did before. Immediately after that, we create some aliases for various directories we will be using. These aliases, as you can see, can be referenced in the Grunt configuration using underscore style template placeholders:
<%= %>.
Now we've defined our javascript build tasks. These compile our CoffeeScript and jade sources into javascript files in a temporary build directory. Then our
concat task concatenates our 3rd party vendor javascript, as well as our newly created javascript sources, into one large javascript file. Take particular note of the
changed configuration blocks in the CoffeeScript and jade tasks; they will be explained shortly.
# LESS compilation less: options: paths: "<%= cssDir %>" all: files: [ src: "<%= cssDir %>/app.less" dest: "<%= outputDir %>/css/app.css" ] # Copy static files copy: html: files: [ expand: true cwd: "<%= contentDir %>/html" src: ["**/*.html"] dest: "<%= outputDir %>" ] images: files: [ expand: true cwd: "<%= contentDir %>/images" src: ["**/*"] dest: "<%= outputDir %>/images" ]
Here we define some tasks to compile our less stylesheets and copy our static assets like images into our output directory.
# Set up file monitors to rebuild project on changes regarde: coffee: files: "<%= srcDir %>/**/*.coffee" tasks: ["coffee:changed", "concat:js"] templates: files: "<%= srcDir %>/**/*.jade" tasks: ["jade:changed", "concat:js"] vendor: files: "<%= vendorDir %>/**/*.js" tasks: ["concat:js"] less: files: "<%= cssDir %>/**/*.less" tasks: ["spawn_less"] html: files: "<%= contentDir %>/html/**/*.html" tasks: ["copy:html"] images: files: "<%= contentDir %>/images/**/*" tasks: ["copy:images"]
regarde task defined here watches for changes to our source files and executes the specified task(s) whenever a watched file is changed. This saves us from manually rebuilding every time we make a change. Notice that for CoffeeScript and jade files, it calls the
changed subtask, which only recompiles the files that were actually changed. This drastically cuts down our compilation times when there are a lot of source files, and only one was changed.
# Set up a static file server connect: server: options: hostname: "0.0.0.0" port: 9292 base: "<%= outputDir %>" keepalive: true # Clean up artifacts clean: build: "<%= buildDir %>" output: "<%= outputDir %>" # Execute server script exec: server: cmd: "./server.js"
The above are miscellaneous tasks:
connectserves our output directory on our local machine so that we can open our newly generated site in a browser
cleansimply erases the build and output directories when invoked
exectask lets us execute arbitrary shell programs (in this case, a custom server script that I'll show in a moment)
# Karma conf karma: unit: configFile: "<%= testDir %>/unit_conf.js" e2e: configFile: "<%= testDir %>/e2e_conf.js" # The contrib-less task has an outstanding bug that will kill a running grunt # process (like a watch process) when it fails. grunt.registerTask 'spawn_less', 'Run Less in a subprocess', () -> done = this.async() grunt.util.spawn grunt: true, args: ['less'], (err) -> if err grunt.log.writeln(">> Error compiling LESS file!") done() grunt.registerTask "js", ["coffee:all", "jade:all", "concat:js"] grunt.registerTask "build", ["clean", "js", "less", "copy"] grunt.registerTask "server", ["exec:server"] grunt.registerTask "unit", ["build", "karma:unit"] grunt.registerTask "e2e", ["build", "karma:e2e"] grunt.registerTask "ci", ["build", "karma"] grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-coffee" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-jade" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-concat" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-less" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-copy" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-regarde" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-connect" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-clean" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-exec" grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-karma"
The last part of the Gruntfile defines a task to load and run our tests via the karma test runner, registers some aliases for groups of tasks, and loads our tasks from our node modules.
The associated package.json file looks about like you would expect:
// package.json { "name": "rcr-frontend", "version": "0.1.0", "dependencies": { "grunt": "latest", "grunt-contrib-coffee": "latest", "grunt-contrib-jade": "latest", "grunt-contrib-less": "latest", "grunt-contrib-copy": "latest", "grunt-contrib-connect": "latest", "grunt-contrib-concat": "latest", "grunt-regarde": "latest", "grunt-notify": "latest", "grunt-contrib-clean": "latest", "grunt-karma": "latest", "grunt-exec": "latest" } }
And as promised, the
server.js file referenced in our
exec task. This script allows us to run both our webserver and file watcher service in the same terminal by just running the command
grunt server.
#!/usr/bin/env node var spawn = require("child_process").spawn, watcher = spawn("grunt", ["regarde", "--force"]), server = spawn("grunt", ["build", "connect:server"]); watcher.stdout.on("data", function(data) { var importantOutput = data.toString().split("\r?\n").filter(function(str) { return />>|Done|Warning|Running/.test(str); }); process.stdout.write(importantOutput.join("\n")); // process.stdout.write(data); }); server.stdout.on("data", function(data) { process.stdout.write(data); }); watcher.on("exit", function(code, signal) { server.kill(); process.exit(); }); server.on("exit", function(code, signal) { watcher.kill(); process.exit(); }); process.on("exit", function() { watcher.kill(); server.kill(); });
There you have it, a relatively straightforward build configuration for a complicated static JavaScript site, made easy with Grunt.
