One of the original five municipalities in Pontiac, Litchfield was erected on November 20, 1846, with Alfred Lancaster as its first mayor. In December of the following year, the first meeting of the district of the 3rd Division of Ottawa County was held at the home of Samuel Morehead on Highway 148. Today the house is the home of Dawson Morehead. In 1964 the Pontiac County Council (now Pontiac MRC) built its headquarters in Litchfield, on Highway 148 at the edge of Campbell's Bay.
In the early days, Litchfield included the villages of Portage du Fort, Bryson, Campbell's Bay and Vinton, once known as St Elizabeth of Franktown. Today, all but Vinton are separate municipalities.
Some of the early post offices in Litchfield included: Smith's Corners, Goldwin on the Bank, Rockmount, and Martin Grace's, Early schools included: Acre's, Mousseau's School, Gamble's, Hearty's, Kane's and Kelly's, as well as several Roman Catholic schools.
The first sawmill in Litchfield was run by John Smith at Long Lake. Other mills at the same lake were operated by Pete Hearty and Mick McCrank. Litchfield was also noted for its many hotels and stopping places, including: Black Jim Kelly's, William Gilchrist, and Hurley's on the Mountain. Another notable hotel was Kensley's, at the edge of Campbell's Bay, owned by Louis Kensely, one of the greatest fiddlers that ever came out of Pontiac.The Philippine peso advanced to its strongest level in more than four years after exports revenues grew at their fastest pace in a decade. The peso rose for the sixth consecutive week, edging slightly by 4.5 bps this week to 47.81 per US dollar. The currency is among the steadiest performers in Asia this year, up by 0.46 percent year-to-date.
Philippine exports surged 31.6 percent to a record high of $6.68 billion in March 2021, helped by a low comparison base a year ago and a rebound in foreign demand as the global economy recuperates from the COVID-19 pandemic. Exports of mineral products led all commodity groups with a 195.8 percent growth. Meanwhile, electronic products, the country’s leading export grew by 25 percent. The country’s balance of trade improved as the deficit narrowed by 11.5 percent to $2.4 billion.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reported last week that the country’s gross international reserves (GIR) reached $107.25 billion as of end-April. BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno earlier forecasted another record year, projecting that the GIR could reach $120 billion by year-end. Healthy GIR levels act as external buffers or cushions that stabilize the peso in times of foreign exchange volatility and speculative attacks. It is currently equivalent to 12.3 months’ worth of imports of goods and services and covers about 7.5 times the county’s short-term external debt.
In Asia, the Chinese yuan is leading Asian currencies higher against the US dollar. The yuan climbed to its strongest level in three years on the back of the country’s solid economic recovery post-COVID-19, healthy capital inflows, and large trade surplus. Chinese GDP expanded 18.3 percent in the first quarter of 2021 amid surging exports and increased consumer spending.
The Chinese yuan has appreciated nearly 10 percent against the US dollar the past year and 1.4 percent year-to-date. The intermediate support for USD/CNY is at 6.42, while significant support lies at the 6.20 to 6.24 range.
The Philippine peso has steadily strengthened the past two years because of the resilient stream of OFW remittances and BPO revenues and its hefty dollar reserve levels. As shown in the chart below, USD/PHP remains on a downward trending channel which shows peso appreciation. Despite a brief surge to the 49 levels in February and April, USD/PHP is back below the 48.0 support level. Based on the peso trend and the Chinese yuan’s strength, it is highly likely for the peso to appreciate further. Technical analysis indicates that 46.00 to 46.50 is the next major support range for USD/PHP.

June »endocrinologists and Internists managing diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases from the Asia-Pacific region.
Diabetes is one of the largest and alarming health emergency of the 21st century. The management of diabetes and its complications is a big challenge considering the complexity of diabetes, cardiovascular pathophysiology and the frailty of patients affected by cardiometabolic diseases. Only a deep knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the disease and of the complex available pharmacology will allow tackling this global health emergency. According to the World Health Organization high blood pressure is the highest risk factor for premature mortality, followed by tobacco use and high blood glucose. Effective treatment of hypertension is thus essential to reduce cardiovascular complications. Taken together, hypertension and diabetes share common pathophysiologic mechanisms, health outcomes and clinical issues that are often tough tasks to face in clinical practice. EXCEMED is involved in a comprehensive educational programme to increase knowledge in cardiovascular diseases. The conference will address the most recent advancements of research in the areas of cardiometabolic medicine and, in particular, will discuss the best approaches for clinical management of the complexity of cardiometabolic patients in daily practice.
The EXCEMED “2016 Asia Pacific conference on cardiometabolic diseases management ” held on 23-24 April 2016 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is designed for a maximum of 9 (nine) hours or European CME credits (ECMEC).
High heart rate in cardiovascular diseases: Is there clinical evidence for a benefit of heart rate reduction?Imagine that your app contains hundreds of microservices and all of them need to communicate with each other. Your application is broken down into multiple microservices like "frontend", "backend" and "payments" which need to communicate with each other to function correctly. We need to rewrite the communication logic baked into the microservices whenever there is an update. This can become tedious over time if we decide to add more microservices 😔.
Service Mesh is a paradigm/concept where we separate the communication between the microservices into a separate Sidecar policy. This implementation separates the communication logic in the microservices into its own (service mesh) deployment. Now let's look at one of its implementations.
Istio is one of many implementations of a service mesh. Istio comes with its own control plane and injects envoy proxies to communicate between the internal network of the microservices.
You can install Istio and deploy a sample application here.
When you run the above command, a namespace named istio-system will be created in your cluster.
For Istio to inject the Envoy proxies into your Pods, you should set the label of your application's namespace to istio-injection=enabled. Labels are key/value pairs that are attached to objects, such as pods. You can learn more about labels here. You can change the label of a namespace using this command.
Now that you've used the above command to change the label, istio-system will look for that label which is istio-injection=enabled and inject the envoy proxy into each of the application's pods. As you can see there are two containers 2/2 running, one of which is an envoy proxy and the other one is the application's container.
Well to put it simply, you won't have to worry about the communication logic that had to be changed/ rewritten, Whenever you deploy a new service into your application, the Istio-system will automatically inject the envoy proxy into your pod. And everything works like magic 🪄. Also, you can add "add-ons" to the istio service mesh. One of which is Kiali. Kali helps to visualize and troubleshoot your service mesh.
All of this is too much work. But Is there an easier way to deploy a service mesh?
Meshery is a Cloud-Native Management tool that lets you install popular service meshes with a click of a button. There are multiple ways to get started with Meshery. One of the easiest ways is to use the Docker extension. You don't have to install any of the service mesh into your pc. All of that capability is provided by Meshery.
Support Collabnix by becoming a sponsor. Any amount is appreciated!Honestly, I'm not sure who they'll have on the other side of Byrd. And to be even more honest, it shouldn't matter. Coach Peterson's roster includes 4 (four) offensive linemen that tip the scales over 300lbs. And the biggest of those is a freshman at 313lbs. If we can't get a push up the middle on these guys and force Moore to rely on quick drops and dumps...then we're in trouble come next week.
Let's face it...
