Yuan strengthens against the dollar; yields attract portfolio investment to mainland China
Since the conclusion of the week-long national holiday on October 8, the yuan has gained over 1 % against the euro and the dollar. On Friday (Oct. 16), one dollar bought 6.72 yuan. In August, the exchange rate was about 7. Since the end of last year, the yuan has appreciated roughly 3 % against the dollar and lost about 1 % against the euro. Much of the gain against the dollar reflects dollar weakness (the DXY dollar index has declined by 3 % since the end of 2019).
The People's Bank of China reacted to the last week's yuan appreciation by lowering the reserve ratio for forward foreign exchange sales to zero as of October 12. The elimination of the FX forward trading reserve requirement decreases the cost of yuan sales and therefore should decrease appreciation pressures on the yuan. The FX forward reserve requirement was set at 20 % in August 2018 to deal with depreciation pressure on the yuan (BOFIT Weekly 32/2018).
Since late-spring, interest rates have largely returned to pre-corona levels, which makes them clearly higher than current rates in the US or other advanced economies. For example, the yield on China's one-year government bond is currently 2.7 %, compared to just 0.1 % on a US one-year treasury bill. Chinese stock markets have also generally outperformed the rest of the world. Share prices on mainland China's CSI 300 are up by 17 % from the start of the year as of Thursday (Oct. 15). The American S&P 500, in contrast, was up by 8 %, the MSCI EM by 1 % and the world average (FTSE All World) about 2 %.
Foreign ownership on the Chinese bond market has risen by 34 % this year (120 billion dollars), bringing the value of total holdings at the end of September to 2.94 trillion yuan (430 billion dollars). That share, however, is still less than 3 % of the market. Since 2017, foreign investors have been able to participate in mainland China's interbank bond market via the Bond Connect with Hong Kong (BOFIT Weekly 27/2017). Bond Connect trading volume in January-September was more than double compared to the same time last year.
At the end of September, index provider FTSE Russell announced that it was including government bonds issued in mainland China in its World Government Bond Index. The decision should be confirmed next spring and enter into force in October 2021. Analysts estimate the index update to bring in over 100 billion dollars in foreign investment to mainland China. Bloomberg Barclays added mainland China bond issues to its bond index in April 2019. J.P. Morgan followed this year by taking Chinese government bonds into its Emerging Markets Bond Index in February.
The inclusion of mainland Chinese shares in international indexes has also brought foreign assets to Chinese stock exchanges. FTSE Russell concluded the first phases of index expansion this summer. Mainland China A-shares are now included with a 25 % market-value weighting, and correspond to about 6 % of the FTSE Emerging Market Index and 0.7 % of the FTSE Global All Cap Index. The MSCI and S&P Dow Jones have also included A-shares in their indexes in recent years.
Trading by foreign investors on mainland China stock exchanges via the Stock Connect arrangement with the Hong Kong stock exchange has increased, and currently already accounts for about a tenth of the trading volume on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges. The holdings of foreign investors via the Stock Connect programmes has increased slightly this year (by around 130 billion yuan or 19 billion dollars). About 4 % of stock market capitalisation in mainland China are held by foreign entities. While efforts have been made through market reforms in recent years to increase the trading possibilities of foreign investors in mainland Chinese equities and debt securities via different programmes, the possibilities for Chinese investors to invest abroad remain quite limited.
Yuan gained against the dollar this year, while the trade-weighted exchange rate (REER) in August was similar to end-2019

The faucet is a device used for drawing liquid, as from a pipe. It is also known as a spigot or tap in other countries.
The standard faucet dimensions are 4 inches L x 3 inches H. But there other types of faucets available which cause the sizes to differ. For instance, a widespread faucet will have an 8 or 12 inch space between its handles.
Another type is called the mini-faucet. The tap is small enough to fit in center to center holes that measure 4 inches. The center faucet also comes with handles. The distance between handles is 4 inches. Most of the time, the spout is between 3 to 7 inches high. But there are some spouts 8 to 12 inches high.
The sizes of faucets are determined by the design. The Price Pfister T52-9YPC pullout spray faucet for example, has a spout 17.19 inches tall. The reach of the spout is about 8 inches. The faucet is suitable for a two or four-hole application. The Kohler K-10433-CP Forte has a spout 10.3 inches high. The spout reach has been measured at 10.13 inches.
The Kohler K-597-CP faucet on the other hand, is 16.6 inches high and with a spout 15.38 inches high. The spout reach is about 8 inches. The American Standard A7100.241H.295 is 13.75 inches high. Its spout is 9.38 inches high and with a reach of 5 inches. The sizes of faucets will vary some more as manufacturers come out with different designs.
If possible, you should select the faucet and sink at the same time. The main reason is that you need to make sure the sink has enough holes for the faucet type. If you already have a sink, the type of faucet you can buy is restricted to what the sink can accommodate. In other words, you must select a faucet that is fully compatible with your sink.
You might also want to consider using a single lever faucet rather than the two lever type. A single lever faucet allows one hand to control the water volume. The other hand can hold the food or other items. the handled faucets will need both hands (for turning the tap on and controlling the temperature).
Another advantage of using the single lever faucet is that it needs fewer holes at the countertop. You must also ensure the size is just right. Using a large faucet on a small sink will look out of place. On the other hand, a tiny faucet will not work with a three bowl sink.
You must also make sure the faucet has sufficient reach to disperse water. This can be determined by the distance from the spout opening to the point it links with the sink.
The sizes of faucets are crucial in determining how convenient it will be to use. By taking the time to examine the dimensions of the tap, you will be able to find one that best suits your requirements.

After going through a breakup, I've decided to dump the rom-coms
Around 30 minutes into watching Crazy Stupid Love, I came across the scene where Ryan Gosling schools Steve Carell on how to score women in the bar, which I'd previously found quite amusing.
Now, I found it pretty distasteful.
It felt like the scene mirrored my own recent experiences of feeling deceived or played. At that moment, I decided that I didn't have the capacity to watch rom-coms candidly while my heart was broken.
I was dating this person for a couple of months and things were going from strength to strength but after a big disagreement, we decided to end things. It felt really sh*t. I was initially very sceptical of dating generally, and just when I started to soften up, the whole thing came crashing down.
I regretted letting my walls down and giving my mind permission to imagine a future with this person, all in vain.
The day of the breakup, I was crying in my bed, completely alone, and overwhelmed with grief. Up until that point, I'd had a string of relationships with guys that didn't meet my needs and left me feeling spent.
Although this was a great lad, my devastation had more to do with how frustrated I felt about dating in general. This situation was merely the straw that broke the camel's back.
Being heartbroken invokes pain that not even cheap wine can drown. Acquiring a rebound to help distract myself wasn't an option, as I wasn't in the right frame of mind for that.
To make matters worse, I was on annual leave – due to my birthday being around the corner – which meant that I had way too much time to replay the series of events that lead to this.
That's when I thought a rom-com could help restore my hopes. Wrong move.
After my aforementioned failed attempt, I concluded that watching movies centred around romantic endeavors (however unhealthy) wasn't wise for my healing heart. That was three months ago, and I haven't watched one since.
Films have always provided me with a unique kind of escapism. As someone who suffers from chronic anxiety, movies entertain me while forcing all my senses to focus and be present.
I'm generally an optimistic, hopeless romantic and I love love. This is probably as a result of being spoon-fed Disney movies as a child, followed by spending my preteens in the height of the noughties' chick flick and rom-com era. This means that I've loved watching rom-coms my whole life.
Movies like Legally Blonde, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Love Don't Cost A Thing left me excited to one day meet my beau. Legally Blonde is particularly empowering because – although she initially applies to Harvard Law school to chase her ex – she surprises herself by excelling in her studies. She also realises her ex isn't worth the effort as he doesn't love her for who she is, and she ends up finding that with someone else.
Although I don't use these movies as word-for-word dating guides, I do believe that 26 years of consumption of romantic comedies has conditioned me to feed into the idea that sometimes, a makeover can fix all my love woes, the mysterious standoffish guy may eventually soften up, and that someone might be coming to save me.
I understand that rom-coms are just feel-good fictional stories. However, sometimes I can't help but hope life might imitate art.
Firstly, it seemed that being a skinny white, blonde woman is the key to romantic success. Most of these films are fronted by such women such as Rumour Has it, You've Got Mail, The Holiday, and more. The female protagonist is rarely a woman of colour, disabled or LGBTQ+.
Now, we know that's not an accurate reflection of real life, but the message portrayed when a romantic lead is only presented in one way perpetuates a harmful beauty standard, telling us that only one kind of person is worthy of desire.
These films often glorify manipulation tactics, exhausting mind games and putting on a facade all in the name of love
Secondly, these films often glorify manipulation tactics, exhausting mind games and putting on a facade all in the name of love. Love Don't Cost a Thing is a great example of this.
The protagonist Alvin, played by Nick Cannon, basically pays the popular girl, Paris (played by Christina Milian, who is a rare Black romantic lead!) to pretend to be his girlfriend. How is that person the love of your life if they're falling in love with a version of you that isn't really you?
Of course, I understand these movies are for entertainment, not educational purposes and should never be taken as love manuals. I do however believe that some of these narratives could be damaging as those still fresh to the complicated world of relationships and love, might actually take these stories at face value.
To me, the most harmful thing about some rom-coms is how these films portray career women: typically with higher levels of impatience, a competitive nature, who associates her self-worth with achievement.
Despite these women's academic and career achievements, healthy support systems, their existence isn't enough if they're single. Bridget Jones' Diary is a great example of this: she's thriving in her career, has a great flat in London but she's hung up on a toxic ex and appears to be miserable because she's single.
In my desperate search for a healthy distraction, I realised I needed to be empowered, not boxed in – and most rom-coms didn't make the cut.
On the other hand, action movies, sci-fi and fantasy films served that purpose. Although the plot is usually unrealistic, it offers escapism, which generally is pleasant, but it is particularly nice if you're sad about love lost.
The casts tend to be more diverse than rom-coms and although most of these films include a love story as part of the narrative. The protagonist's existence is centred around their purpose in life, not whether they get married in the end, which is very refreshing.
I'm not saying I won't ever be entertained by rom-coms again; for the most part, they're sweet and charming – but I appreciate modern ones that don't perpetuate typical gender roles and unrealistic expectations a lot more.
And as a Black woman, Nollywood movies allow me to enjoy a love story while being represented. These movies not only allow me to see myself as the main character – to be sought after and desired – but I also get to enjoy a love story amidst African culture, which I take a lot of pride in as it's a big part of who I am.
What's for certain though, I know I'll enjoy movies and series centered around love and relationships again after my little break. It's just that, right now, they simply don't fit the criteria for what I need.

Q: JQuery API Doc generator for typescript custom Widget? I have some custom typescript Widget have to create a API doc for that. I have searched a lot but i didn't find anything useful.
Is there is any tool for generate a API doc like Jquery API
Note:  I have used Natural Docs for my jquery custom widget, but i can't use it in typescript custom widget. Is there any way to use that for typescript.
Any suggestions should be appreciated....

A: So far I think there is no official support for any documentation lib integrated into typescript.
Typescript supports jsdoc.
This means you should use jsdoc style documentation for your typescripts.
I think the compiler should also have an option to add your ts comments into the js files. This should enable you to at least document your javascript API, which is more or less what others might need/use to integrate your APIs anyways.

One of the most important pieces of the Yoobi puzzle in preparing for our launch last June, was to select a non-profit partner who could help fulfill Yoobi's One for You, One for Me mission on a national scale. Enter the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF)…!
KINF supports its mission through a national network of resource centers that include 32 facilities where teachers from low-income schools go to obtain free school supplies for their classrooms. But they don't stop there. KINF also participates in a number of backpack gives, they've awarded over $1.5 million in teacher grants, and they provide disaster relief through their Second Responder program.
KINF enables us to reach schools and districts on a scale that would be unimaginable on our own. KINF's decades of work with schools and districts across the country, meant that within weeks of Yoobi product going on shelves, we were able to start providing supplies to the teachers and students who need them most. Right now, thousands of Yoobi Classroom Packs are being distributed across the country, with thousands more on the way.
However, beyond their technical abilities and reach, this article would not be complete without mentioning the wonderful people of KINF. From warehouse hero Dale, to National Accounts Director Jeanne, to Executive Director Dave, and so many others (Kris, Jennifer, Jenn, Penny….), we are so grateful to work with such a talented and driven team. Their energy, experience, and sense of humor truly inspire us, and we are humbled to call them our partner in this awesome mission.
To learn more about KINF and all the amazing things they do each and every day, go to www.kinf.org.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Georgia receiver Isaiah McKenzie has apologized for being involved in an incident that led to police being called to an Athens restaurant.
The player was alleged to have made ''terroristic threats'' against a woman at a Chili's restaurant Monday night. No charges were filed, and Athens-Clarke County police say the alleged victim decided not to pursue the case.
McKenzie is expected to play Saturday when the No. 8 Bulldogs host No. 13 Alabama is a crucial Southeastern Conference game. He has five catches for 89 yards, along with two carries for 32 yards.

Best Business Books of 2014
By Tony, December 3, 2014
2014 may be coming to an end, but it's not too late to read some of the year's best business books! Highlighted below our my top 10 picks for business books published in 2014:
1. The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
Pulitzer Prize-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg introduces the new science of habits, explaining why they exist and how they can be changed to improve our personal and professional lives. At its core, The Power of Habit argues that the key to achieving success in all areas of our lives lies in understanding how habits work.
2. Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't
Simon Sinek studies the biology of successful teams to explain how great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. Drawing from a wide range of examples, from manufacturing and the military to the government and investment banking, his theory is proven over and over again. When it matters most, leaders who are willing to eat last are rewarded with deeply loyal colleagues who will unite to pursue a common vision and their organization's interests.
3. Scaling Up Excellence: Getting to More Without Settling for Less
Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao draw on inside accounts and case studies, as well as academic research from a variety of industries — including start-ups, airlines, pharmaceuticals, retail, high-tech, financial services, education, government, non-profits and healthcare — to identify the key challenges that every organization must confront. Scaling Up Excellence reveals the principles that help cascade excellence throughout an organization.
4. Capital in the Twenty-First Century
The 2014 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year, Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century offers compelling insight into the modern business issues of inequality and the concentration of wealth. Through analyzing a collection of data from twenty countries over several centuries, Piketty uncovers key economic and social patterns that reorient our understanding of economic history and confront us with sobering lessons for today.
5. Think Like a Freak: The Authors of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain Your Brain
The authors of the New York Times bestseller Freakonomics are back with Think Like a Freak. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner use their trademark blend of storytelling and unconventional analysis to offer readers a blueprint for an entirely new way to solve problems. Whether your interest lies in minor life hacks or major global reform, the book teaches you ways to retrain your brain by covering a variety of topics.
6. Invisibles: The Power of Anonymous Work in an Age of Relentless Self-Promotion
For most people, the better they perform the more attention they receive. Yet for many skilled professionals whose role is critical to their enterprise, it's the opposite: the better they perform, the more unnoticed they become. Oftentimes, it's only when something goes wrong that they are noticed at all. David Zweig takes a look into the lives and careers of "invisibles," workers who become more anonymous when they perform well at their jobs, to prove that the rest of society has a lot to learn about satisfaction and achievement.
7. The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload
The information age is drowning us with an unprecedented deluge of data, and at the same time, we're expected to make more decisions faster than ever before. Somehow, there are some people that become quite accomplished at managing information flow. Daniel J. Levitin uses the latest in brain science to show how these special people excel and demonstrates methods readers can use to regain mastery of organization of their homes, workplaces and time.
8. Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
The great secret of our time is that there are still many uncharted frontiers to explore and brand new inventions to create. In Zero to One, Peter Thiel, a legendary entrepreneur and investor, and Blake Masters show how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Their book presents an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way to think about innovation.
9. The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution
Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson's The Innovators tells the story of people who created the computer and the Internet. Beginning with the story of Lord Byron's daughter, Ada Lovelace, who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s, Isaacson recounts the tales of fascinating personalities that created our current digital revolution. Destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution, The Innovators is an indispensable guide to how innovation actually happened.
10. Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products
In Hooked, Nir Eyal explains The Hook Model, the four-step process to create products that subtly encourage customer behavior. Based on years of consulting, research and experience, Eyal shows that these products reach their ultimate goal of bringing its users back again and again without depending on costly or aggressive advertising. Written for product managers, marketers, designers and startup founders, Hooked is the book Eyal wished had been available to him as a start-up founder: a how-to guide for building better products.

"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" Takes Gigantic Bite Out Of Global Box Office In 3D With 53% Of Estimated $711M+ Worldwide Gross Coming From 3D Ticket Sales
RealD Equipped Theaters Worldwide Chomps On $105 Million
Beverly Hills, California (June 24, 2018) – Approximately 53% of all global ticket sales for "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" has come from the 3D format, with a significant portion of the business driven by the world largest 3D company RealD. A majority of RealD's screens have been playing the film in the 68 markets where the film began showtimes internationally 2 weeks ago. A staggering $380 million has been generated by total 3D ticket sales and 28% of all 3D transactions have been purchased for RealD equipped theaters resulting in $105 million in RealD ticket sales.
Director J.A. Bayona and star Chris Pratt have both enthusiastically endorsed and supported the way the film was executed and enhanced in 3D.
"This is the kind of epic summer adventure film that is meant to be seen and experienced in RealD 3D and it is clear that moviegoers worldwide want to see these juggernauts with their 3D glasses on," said Travis Reid, President of Worldwide Cinema and Chief Operating Officer for RealD. "Universal, Amblin and especially the stars and filmmakers did a fantastic job promoting this film and communicating that the 3D was an exceptional experience and that always makes a difference, especially with a film like this."
"With the worldwide success of recent films like Avengers: Infinity War, which crossed $800 million in 3D grosses worldwide and earlier this year Ready Player One, audiences have shown that 3D is still an important entertainment upgrade and preference on the right tentpole titles when they go to the theater," said Reid. "Universal has been a great supporter of 3D on the Jurassic Park franchise and we could not be more thrilled for the huge rewards they are reaping all around the world."

Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who's still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times.

One of the many distinct advantages of using thermoformed plastic as an enclosure medium is the vast design flexibility that it gives you on your three dimensional enclosure component. The drawback was that importing branding, images, and complex finishes over these elaborate enclosures was limited or challenging due to the inherent stretching in the process of thermoformed components.
However, with the utilization of distortion printing, these obstacles have been removed, presenting nearly limitless options for finishing and image applications on thermoformed parts.
Distortion printing is the process of printing a distorted version of an image onto a sheet of plastic and systematically vacuum forming the sheet on a mold so that specific areas of the printed image appear in corresponding areas of the resulting three-dimensional large part.
Essentially, the finished image is modified to anticipate the distortion created by the stretching of plastic during the thermoforming process. This modified image is then printed on the material which is later thermoformed, resulting in the finished image perfectly proportioned on the three dimensional part.

Productive Plastics combines its thermoforming and manufacturing process expertise with advanced computer software from Raytek and distortion technology applications from Distortion Arts to bring you the industry's top distortion printed thermoformed parts.

Even More Bad News For Ravens As Team Reports For Training Camp
Like the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens are also starting their annual training camp on Thursday and they'll do so with more even more bad news serving as headlines.
According to multiple reports, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is currently battling discomfort in his back that has plagued him for the past two weeks. Many are speculating that Flacco could be sidelined for as long as six weeks depending on the seriousness of his injury so his situation certainly bears watching.
The Ravens currently have three quarterbacks under contract and that includes Ryan Mallett and Dustin Vaughan. If indeed Flacco winds up missing time during training camp, it's easy to speculate that another quarterback will be signed very soon with free agent Colin Kaepernick leading the list in potential candidates.
If the announcement of Flacco's back injury isn't bad enough news, the Ravens also announced on Thursday that offensive lineman John Urschel has decided to retire after just three years in the league.
Urschel, who was drafted by the Ravens in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Penn State, was expected to battle for the starting center position this year during training camp. His retirement now leaves the Ravens with Ryan Jensen and Matt Skura as the two in-house candidates to be the team's starting center in 2017.
It's worth noting, however, that veteran center Nick Mangold is still a free agent following him being released by the New York Jets earlier in the offseason and he could wind up being a fallback option.
On Wednesday, the Ravens announced that second-year running back Kenneth Dixon will miss the entire 2017 season due to a knee injury that required surgery.

Mike Tyson Doesn't Want His Son To Become A Boxer, Encouraged Him To Become Real Estate Agent
Mike Tyson doesn't want his son Amir to follow his career path.
The former heavyweight boxing champ says his 24-year-old son wants to "fight Logan Paul and those guys..."
But Tyson says he told his son, "Man, just get a job. Get a real estate license. Just chill out, man. Why can't you take advantage of your lightweight wealthiness? Just chill."


BlogHome » Blog » What Is the Difference Between a Mortgage Origination Fee and Discount Points?
Buying a home comes with a fair amount of introspection and budgeting – as well as industry jargon. These can prove difficult to navigate for the first-time homeowner and seasoned veteran alike. Knowing the difference between different types of financing options can help homeowners determine and secure the best interest rate for their mortgage.
Mortgage Points and Origination Fees are two of the terms which affect the interest rate of a mortgage, but in different ways. Lenders use these two terms at closing, but it's essential to understand the difference before signing on the dotted line – or two, or three. Here's what you need to know about mortgage points, origination fees, and your Bellevue mortgage.
Discount points, in their simplest form, are fees that give you an opportunity to lower your interest rate, which also lowers your monthly mortgage payment. In this sense, discount points serve as prepaid interest on your mortgage. The more you pay in discount points, the lower your interest rate will ultimately be. Purchasing payment points may also be called "buying down" your interest rate. Therefore, a loan with no points will generally carry a higher interest rate than a loan with even one discount point.
The amount that you can pay down will vary from zero to many points, depending on the lender and your financial situation. Each Washington mortgage lender has a unique pricing structure, which means your mortgage rate will vary based on the points you pay and what each point is worth. Your interest will also depend on the type of loan you're seeking and the current state of the mortgage market.
In general, each discount point you buy lowers your interest rate one-eighth to one-quarter of a percent. By purchasing discount points, you have an opportunity to make a significant difference on your monthly payments.
Discount points have a set cost of 1% of your mortgage amount. For example, if you're looking to purchase a $200,000 home, one discount point would cost $2,000. Paying this one-time fee of $2,000 could take your interest rate from 4% to 3.75%.
Mortgage lenders compare purchasing mortgage points to buying a car. You can get an auto loan with zero down, but expect your payments to be higher each month than if you put $999 or even $400 down.
Since discount points vary by lender, it's important to examine the fine print before making any purchasing decisions. The worth of a mortgage point varies daily based on the climate of the mortgage market, and sometimes the amount charged to lower an interest rate does not provide a significant benefit. However, discount points are tax-deductible, which may prove advantageous at the end of the tax year.
What Are Origination Fees or Points?
Loan origination fees or points cover the mortgage company's costs in processing the loans. They serve to pay closing costs, and the rate of payment is negotiable. The number of origination points a company charges varies from lender to lender, so it's an important question to ask when shopping around for the top mortgage company.
Several factors may play a role in the amount of origination points you'll have to pay. One of the most important is credit history. A mortgagor with a positive credit history is likely to pay less in origination fees than one with a short credit history or blemished record.
Like discount points, the cost of a single mortgage point is 1% of the mortgage loan. As such, if a mortgage company is charging 2 origination points on a 200,000 loan, you can expect to pay $4,000 in loan origination fees.
Since origination points apply to fees paid at closing, they are not tax deductible. However, you may have more negotiating room on the number of points they expect you to pay. Searching for a lender that charges a lower number of origination points can be one way to save on the cost of your loan.
Keep in mind that lenders may use industry terms interchangeably. Some companies may refer to origination fees as loan discounts or simply origination points. Your Seattle mortgage company can help you understand the terminology and make the best decision for your loan.
When Are Points Worth It?
If you consider this home purchase a "starter," or plan to refinance your home within a few years, it might not make sense to purchase points. Discount points represent a modest savings each year, and it could take several years to recoup your initial investment. The longer you intend to stay in your home, the better idea it is to buy down your interest rate.
Origination fees, on the other hand will depend on the amount of money you have available to spend at closing. If you need your closing costs to remain low, opt for the zero point option on your loan. Keep in mind, however, that this may affect your interest rate.
Origination fees and discount fees have their advantages, but they will vary based on the individual. If you're considering "buying down" your interest rate or negotiating your origination fees, keep these pointers in mind. Knowing the difference between the two and how they affect your mortgage rate is important when shopping for lenders, and for understanding how they may affect your monthly payment.

Друге за розміром місто країни після Лісабону. Центр великої північної атлантичної агломерації Велике Порту. Один з найбільш промислово розвинутих осередків Португалії. Центр Портуського єпископства. Рібейра, історичний центр міста — світова спадщина ЮНЕСКО з 1996 року.

Назва
 По́рт Ка́ле (, «порт Кале») — латинська назва римських часів.
 Портка́ле () — середньовічна латинська назва, що походить від римської. Стала основою назви «Португалія».
 По́рто () — пізня середньовічна латинська і старопортугальська назви.

Географія
Порту розташоване на північному заході Португалії, на заході округу Порту.

Порту межує на півночі з муніципалітетом , на сході — з муніципалітетом , на півдні — з муніципалітетом . На заході омивається водами Атлантичного океану.

Історія
Місто Порту виникло на базі портового містечка Порт Кале. Одні вчені вважають, що його заснували грецькі колоністи і назва походить від грецького слова Καλλισ (калліс, «прекрасний»). На думку інших, його заснували римляни й назвали Кале — скорочено від назви Теплий порт. Є версія, що назва Порт Кале походить від самоназви племені Каллеси або Галлесі, звідси й назва іспанської провінції Галісія.

З 200 року до нашої ери територія навколо містечка належала Римській республіці, а з 38 року до нашої ери — у складі римської провінції Тарраконська Іспанія. Після краху Римської імперії цю землю спочатку займало королівство свевів, а з 585 року — Вестготське королівство. Вони й змінили назви з римського Кале на Порт Кале.

З початком Реконкісти на Піренейському півострові утворюється Графство Портукаленсе, головним містом якого стає Порт Кале. Від нього походить назва спочатку графства, потім королівства й сучасної країни — Португалії.

1120 року португальська графиня Тереза Леонська дарувала Візеу портуському єпископу Уго. 1123 року сеньйор-єпископ надав йому форал, яким визнав за поселенням статус містечка та муніципальні самоврядні права.

Через деякий час вже королі Португалії намагалися знову встановити контроль над Порту. В цьому вони знайшли підтримку у містян. Майже 200 років точилась боротьба між єпископами Порту, з одного боку, та жителями міста й королями, з іншого. Нарешті в 1406 році король Португалії Жуан I Великий зумів досягти угоди з португальським єпископом. Король отримував права над містом, а навзаєм зобов'язувався щорічно виплачувати єпископу 3 тисячі лібр, або 319 г золота.

Населення

Економіка
Один з найвідоміших продуктів експорту Португалії, портвейн, (Vinho do Porto), був названий на честь міста, тому що це вино виникло в цій області, точніше, у Віла-Нова-де-Гайя, місті на протилежному березі річки від Порту. Тільки вино, вироблене в районі річки Дору, може офіційно називатися портвейном.

Порту добре відомий своїм підприємницьким духом, характерною культурою і місцевою кухнею. Місто часто називають північною столицею Португалії. Фактично місто і є столицею великого Північного регіону, який покриває приблизно чверть території країни. Мешканців Порту легко відрізнити за їх типовим північним акцентом.

Транспорт
 Порту (аеропорт)

Освіта
 Портуський університет

Спорт
 Порту (футбольний клуб)

Персоналії
 Мануел де Олівейра (1908—2015) — португальський кінорежисер і сценарист.

Кухня
Порту відоме своїми особливими стравами: франсезінья, кальду верде,  тощо.

Ще в 15 столітті, місто Порту мало віддавати усе м'ясо, що було в них, військовим окрім тельбухів. З часом вони винайшли багато способів їх приготування (наприклад добрадінья, ) і з часом це стало однією з найвідоміших особливостей кухні міста. Крім того, жителів Порту називають «тельбухоїди» (tripeiros).

Q: How to Add a Reference to a Web Service in NodeJS Is it possible to add Web reference in NodeJS project as we do in .NET framework Web API Projects? Basically NodeJS API project will act as a middleware between Front End and XML Web service.XML Web service is kinda secured third party service which we want to integrate in our NodeJS projects.Configuring & Integrating web service in C# Web API project is very easy but in NodeJS its bit tricky it seems.

A: You can't add references directly like you do in .Net; however, there are a number of node_modules which support integration with 3rd party services. For example (given that you mentioned XML), this module (node) takes a .wsdl file and generates a SOAP api wrapper.

Stelvio Quadrifoglio UK Pricing and Specification Announced
Stelvio Quadrifoglio Pricing & Specification Announced
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio sets a new benchmark in the premium midsize SUV segment with its combination of inspiring design, performance and technology and is priced from just £69,500 at Lipscomb Alfa Romeo in Maidstone, Kent.
Stelvio Quadrifoglio, the fastest SUV in its class.
The Stelvio Quadrifoglio is powered by a 2.9-litre V6 Bi-Turbo petrol engine, combined with the innovative Q4 all-wheel drive system, to offer a potent combination of unbeatable performance, traction, driving pleasure and safety in all situations. In normal conditions, the Q4 system transfers 100 percent of the torque to the rear axle. As the wheels approach their grip limit, the system transmits up to 50 percent of the torque to the front axle in real time, by means of a transfer case.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is equipped with the exclusive Alfa™ Chassis Domain Control unit, which acts as the brain to coordinate all the car's electronic systems, to deliver the best performance and the utmost driving pleasure at all times. The system simultaneously assigns specific tasks to the various active systems, such as the Alfa™ DNA Pro selector, Q4 all-wheel drive, Alfa™ Active Torque Vectoring system, Alfa™ Active Suspension system and the ESC.
The standard Torque Vectoring technology optimises the Stelvio Quadrifoglio's drive distribution and accentuates its sporting character. The two electronically controlled clutches in the rear differential make it possible to control torque delivery to each wheel separately. This ensures the optimal transfer of power to the ground even when the car is pushed to its dynamic limits, without the need for intrusive inputs from the stability control system.
The 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo petrol engine in the Stelvio Quadrifoglio led the car to set a new lap record at the legendary Nurburgring. Delivering maximum power of 510hp at 6,500rpm and generation a maximum torque of 600Nm from 2,500 to 5,000rpm, the car is capable of sprinting from zero to 62mph in just 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of more than 176mph, helping it to achieve a lap time of just 7minutes 51.7 seconds. This power plant is teamed with a specifically calibrated eight-speed automatic transmission that allows gear shifts in just 150 milliseconds in Race mode.
The new Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is priced from £69,500. For further information contact a member of our dedicated sales team at Lipscomb Alfa Romeo today.

I enjoyed my room so much! If I had the choice, I would've worked here to whole time. LOL. The wi-fi signal is great. I was able to work smoothly and even take conference calls via Skype in my room.
The pictures below are just half of what's available for Quest Hotel's buffet.
My second plate. Forgot to take a picture of the first plate and I was too lazy to take a picture of my third plate. LOL!
I absolutely loved my stay at Quest Hotel. It had everything I needed during my stay, the staff were very accommodating and attentive, and it was near notable establishments.
A fast food outlet and convenience store was only a walking distance away, Ayala Mall and Cebu Business Park was right across the road, and House of Lechon (formerly Rico's Lechon) was only a couple of blocks away.
Our office was a short 10-minute taxi ride away. I asked if it was possible to commute, but it wasn't. It's also very familiar to taxi drivers so you won't have a hard time locating this hotel from the airport which is around 30 minutes away.
I might be biased when I say staying in Quest Hotel is worth it for the price because I didn't pay for my stay. But I would highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for somewhere to relax and had complete facilities. I am used to hostels and budget hotels but my stay might have raised my standards a little bit. LOL.

Our Story (continued)
For nearly 30 years we created and shipped our specialty treats all over the Middle East and Europe.
Like much of our homeland, in late 2012 the original Hadhad family chocolate factory in Damascus, Syria was destroyed in a bombing that forced our family to leave everything behind and flee to Lebanon.
For three years we found ourselves as refugees with little opportunity or hope. Our lives had been forever altered and we dreamed of being able to once again live lives we could love. When our family was invited to Canada, our dreams came true. With the support of our new community of Antigonish and the people of Nova Scotia, we have rebuilt our chocolate company and are once again doing the work we love.
L'HISTOIRE DE LA FAMILLE HADHAD
Pendant près de 30 ans, la famille Hadhad a fabriqué et expédié des confiseries spécialisées à travers le Moyen-Orient et l'Europe.
Mais en 2012, la chocolaterie de la famille Hadhad, à Damas en Syrie, a été détruite par une bombe qui a forcé la famille à fuir au Liban, en laissant tout derrière elle. Pendant trois ans, les membres de la famille ont vécu comme des réfugiés avec peu d'occasions favorables ou d'espoir. Tout a changé grâce à une invitation au Canada et un nouveau foyer à Antigonish, en Nouvelle-Écosse. Avec le soutien de nouveaux amis et de cette petite ville, l'entreprise Peace By Chocolate a été fondée au début de 2016, permettant aux Hadhad de partager à nouveau leur passion pour le chocolat avec la province de la Nouvelle-Écosse et le monde entier.
We offer a range of services and products for anyone looking for delicious, fine chocolate. From our classic chocolate pieces available in a variety of flavours and packaged in boxes ranging from 2-pieces to 24-pieces, to chocolate bars offering messages of peace and forgiveness, specialty holiday items, to tasty snacks to share with friends, there's something for everyone! Whatever the occasion, we are confident you will find a Peace By Chocolate product that will make it all the sweeter!
A Syrian Family Tradition
"In Syria, it was my father's passion to make chocolates. He was an excellent chocolatier, and he established a factory in Damascus for 30 years. Now, we are continuing the family tradition here in Canada"
- Tareq Hadhad, Founder & CEO
Since Peace By Chocolate was founded at the beginning of 2016, we have been fortunate to share our passion for chocolate with new friends in our community of Antigonish, with people all across the province of Nova Scotia, and now around the world.
Our desire for excellence is apparent in every piece of chocolate we produce. We passionately combine a blend of Syrian fillings and ingredients, including nuts, fruit, and spices, creating a little taste of heaven in every sweet.
Inside each Peace By Chocolate product is uncompromising quality, with each chocolate a little work of art in and of itself, exuding sophistication, style and excellence. We encourage you to try our chocolate soon because, after all, One Peace Won't Hurt™.

Peace by Chocolate is a Syrian-Canadian chocolatier company, based in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada.[1] Prior to being forced to flee from Syria during the country's civil war in 2012, the company's CEO and Founder Tareq Hadhad's father, Essam Hadhad made chocolate in Damascus, Syria for over 20 years.[2][3] After immigrating to Nova Scotia in 2016, Tareq Hadhad reopened the family's chocolatier business. It's confectionary is shipped worldwide. [4][5][6]
Chocolate-making has been a Hadhad family tradition since 1986 when Essam Hadhad, Tareq's father, opened a factory in Damascus.[2] The Hadhad family's Chocolate-making facilities in Syria were bombed, and they were forced to leave their home and live as refugees in Lebanon for three years, living in uncertainty about their safety and their future until arriving in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada in 2016.[7] Upon arriving in Canada, the Hadhads were determined to continue their confectionary business by launching a facility in Antigonish. [2]
The founder Tareg Hadhad has written a book about his journey[8] and the story is also being made into a movie.[9][10][11]In Sept 2020, Hadhad won National Entrepreneurship Awards for his positive impact as a new Canadian.[12

Stamford: Boy 'Fights For Life' After Coach Fall
A nine-year-old boy from Stamford Rugby Club has suffered "life-threatening injuries'' after falling from a rugby club coach.
Officers said nobody else was injured in the incident, on the A47 trunk road near King's Lynn, at around 3.45pm yesterday.
The critically-injured nine year-old boy has been named as Sebastian Goold.
Police said the accident happened as a group of boys queued for the toilet on board the coach which his father was also travelling on.
Steve Fowkes, president of Stamford Rugby Club, said Sebastian was a "promising" player and the club were desperate for him to pull through.
He said: "All our thoughts are with Sebastian Goold and his family.
We've had some fantastic messages of support from other rugby clubs that were at the tournament, and also from a rugby club in Ireland where a similar incident happened."
He added: "The team have been very successful.
There are around 400 playing for the team.
We don't push him any sort of direction, they are all learning the skills they need before they have a particular role on the team.
But Seb is a promising player who is part of a very successful team.
The medical staff are now taking charge and it is a question of waiting."
Alumni of the club took to Twitter to offer their support to Sebastian's family.
Craig Felston, who plays for the Moldovan sevens national team, said: "@CraigFelston My thoughts go out to 9 yr old Seb who is critically Ill after an accident whilst returning from a rugby tournament for my old club Stamford".
Harlequins Rugby Union player Louis Grimoldby said: "@Louis_Grimoldby Thoughts and prayers are with my old Club, Stamford Rugby Club and the boys family. Awful news. Fingers crossed."
Holt RFC said: "Holt Rugby Club has been in contact with our friends at Stamford and offered our prayers and best wishes to their club, the boy and his family and friends.
I'm sure everyone connected with Holt RFC will be deeply shocked by this sad news."
Norfolk Police said: "We are continuing with investigations into the circumstances of how the boy came to fall from the coach as it travelled on a stretch of single carriageway at Tilney All Saints.
The incident happened shortly before 3.45pm as the group of 30 passengers, 20 children and 10 adults, travelled home to Lincolnshire after the youngsters, from Stamford Rugby Club, had played in a tournament at Holt in north Norfolk.
The boy's father was travelling on the 71-seater double-decker coach while his mother was travelling in a car as part of the convoy."
Roads policing Inspector Chris Brooks added: "This is a very difficult time for the boy's family and we have specially trained officers supporting them.
We've already interviewed some of the passengers on board as well as drivers who in the area at the time of the incident.
As a result of initial enquiries we know just prior to the incident that people were queuing for the toilet.
Somehow, the door has opened and the boy has fallen from the moving coach.
The coach was recovered yesterday and is being kept in a secure compound.
The vehicle will be examined by police and VOSA investigators and this is the focus of our enquiry at this stage.
We will also be speaking to other people who were on board at the time of the incident and it would be inappropriate to speculate on possible causes at this stage."
Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Team at Norfolk Police on 101.

The view is from the area of the belvedere at Tivoli on the Via delle Cascatelle, looking south west beyond the Cascatelle Grandi and the so-called Villa of Maecenas, into the Roman Campagna. The dome of St Peter's, 18 miles away, can just be made out on the horizon. The time is evening and the artist working on a canvas in the foreground has completed the blue areas of the sky. He has what seems to be a white brush in his hand and a palette is partly concealed behind his right sleeve.

In contrast to the pendant P45, the background landscape details are here additive rather than scratched though to the underpaint. A pink-brown ground shows through the buildings on the ridge, upper left. There is a pentiment (erased building) to the immediate left of the campanile and in the profile of the cliff face below it.

Tivoli had a special significance for British Grand Tourists. They had learned of it as Tibur, ancient capital of the Sabines, whose defeat had marked a brilliant episode in the early history of Rome. Its later reputation was as a cultural centre, associated pre-eminently with the figure of Gaius Cilnius Maecenas (70-8 BC), the most renowned patron of Virgil, Horace and other Roman literary stars. These ancient poets had lavished fulsome praise upon the scenery around the town and it had been widely depicted by the leading Roman landscape painters of the 17th century. The watercolourist, Jonathan Skelton, writing in 1758 remarked: 'This antient city of Tivole I planly see has been ye only school where our two most celebrated Landscape Painters Claude and Gaspar studied. They have both taken their Manners of Painting from hence...'. Wilson's pupil, Thomas Jones, commented in 1777: 'Gasper Poussin seems to have form'd his Style from this country'.

One of two Tivoli scenes painted for Joseph Henry. They are Wilson's earliest known paintings of actual Italian scenery. His portrayals of Tivoli tend to be Gaspardesque and/or influenced by the Flemish painter working in Italy, Jan Frans Bloemen, called Orizzonte (1662-1749). This painting differs from P44A in the omission of the near foreground, as well as of most of the hill to the right and the figure standing by the artist. This painting has been made more heroic than P44B, with a more vertical composition, exaggerating the vertiginous aspect of the valley and hilltop architecture. Also, the dome of St Peter's is shown in the distance but is not visible in P44B. The orientation towards the southwest suggests that the time of day is intended as evening, which would coincide with the painted blue sky on the artist's canvas, though not with the implication of 'No. 1' inscribed on the verso.

Philip Conisbee has noted, 'It was not Wilson's usual practice to paint out-of-doors, but probably Vernet encouraged him to do so. The presence of an artist painting the view, with his portable easel and folding stool, implies an endorsement of the practice. The middle and far distances likely were painted, at least in part, in front of the motif.'
Cleaned in 1996. Under UV small retouchings are visible in the sky. Original canvas was fine weave linen, now glue-relined and stretched onto a seven member pine stretcher with square mortice joints and provision for keying out. The lining was carried out sometime before the painting entered the gallery in 1902. Vection cracks in the paint film suggest the original four member stretcher had bars 40mm wide. Original ground is a dark red/brown colour. This is completely covered by the sky paint, but left exposed in the landscape in the middle and foreground to form the darkest tones. Here the sky is quite pink at the right, possibly indicating an evening scene looking west across toward Rome. The distant city is rendered with impasto, in contrast to the indentations scored with the brush handle in the distant landscape of P45 The Temple of the Sibyl and the ampagna, National Gallery of Ireland. The canvas on the easel has a grey preparation and the blue paint has already been applied to the upper part of the canvas to indicate the sky. Under UV light a pentiment is visible to the left of the upper tower, indicating a building alongside the tower, which now only remains visible in normal light as a highlight. Another pentiment is also visible under UV at the right edge of the bluff.
