JOY, IL – Today, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (IL-17) announced more than $3 million in funding from the USDA’s Rural Development program for the Village of Joy. Specifically, this announcement is for a $1,530,000 loan and a $1,471,400 grant to improve water treatment facilities in the community. In addition to these funds, the State of Illinois is also investing $450,000 for a project grand total of $3,451,400.
This Rural Development investment will be used for the construction of a new water treatment facility and includes an emergency generator, rehabilitation and chemical treatment of wells, installation and replacement of water lines, a ground storage tank and aerator, elevated water tower and the replacement of 100 residential water meters. The new treatment facility will replace the existing system, which has reached the end of its useful life, results in costly repairs and maintenance. The new treatment facility will also resolve health and sanitary issues. The project will benefit 417 residential users.
“Access to clean drinking water is essential for any community to succeed which is why I’m proud to announce more than $3 million in federal funding for the hardworking families in Joy,” said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. “I would like to thank the USDA and State Director Wilson for investing in the future of small towns across our nation through the Rural Development Program, which has proven to create jobs in northwest and central Illinois. Despite attempts to eliminate funding for such critical programs in the Farm Bill and budget, I will fight to protect rural development dollars to ensure the USDA can continue their great work.”
“We’re delighted that Rural Development funding is available to use to partner with rural communities,” said Douglas Wilson, USDA Rural Development Director, IL. “It is important that Joy and other communities can seize the economic and workforce development opportunities that result from a strong foundation of modern, reliable infrastructure.”
A member of the House Agriculture and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees in the House, Congresswoman Bustos is serving on the Farm Bill Conference Committee that will negotiate the final version of the 2018 Farm Bill. The House version, which passed with no Democratic votes, had a number of objectionable measures, including zeroing out mandatory funding for the USDA’s Rural Development program. The Senate version of the Farm Bill did not include this cut, and Congresswoman Bustos will be fighting to protect funding for programs like this.

Olivine is an essential constituent of basalt, occurs in some gabbros, and is the main constituent of the peridotites. A pale yellowish-green transparent variety, found in the Levant, is known as chrysolite and a leek-green one as peridot. These are cut as gems. Olivine is often flawed, and is very liable to alteration by percolating waters or weathering, a change into opaque serpentine, or into limonite, spreading along the flaws, until the whole crystal may be changed.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is now facing a fifth trial on corruption allegations.
The once wildly popular ex-president and eight other people will stand trial for alleged corruption and money laundering in a case involving his relationship with mega-construction company Odebrecht.
Federal judge Sergio Moro says prosecutors have produced enough evidence to justify a trial over allegations that bribes paid by Odebrecht were used in the purchase of two estates linked to the former president.
Silva has denied that he or his institute owns either of the two properties involved in the case.
The former president's wife, Marisa Leticia, and former Finance Minister Antonio Palocci are also charged under Monday's ruling.
Silva was president from 2003-2011. Polls show him as front-runner for the 2018 presidential election.

With Marvel labeling him as the biggest threat to the Avengers, many Marvel fans are looking forward to seeing "Avengers: Infinity War" and learning more about the ways of the villainous Thanos (Josh Brolin). In a recent interview, actor Josh Brolin has revealed that the film will feature his character's backstory, revealing that there's a heart to him despite his murderous persona.
Previously, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed that the first five minutes of "Avengers: Infinity War" would show viewers how powerful and dangerous Thanos is. In a more recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Brolin said that the film would show why Thanos is the way he is, as it will bring fans back to his early years on Titan. He said the film would also shed light on his motivations for wanting to destroy the planet.
"He's different from his family. They're all Titans and they all look similar, but he was born deformed. You see how he grew up, you see he was like the Quasimodo of this time, or if you've ever read 'Perfume,' it's a great parallel to Thanos. He's stuck out. He was an anomaly. He was a freak. And that lent to this apparent insanity," said Brolin. "Perfume" is a 1985 novel about a serial killer who craves beautiful scenes but hates the smell of humanity.
Brolin went on to add that people have always known Thanos for his immense power, but they have never really given him enough credit for his intelligence. In fact, according to the actor, he is the most intelligent character in the upcoming film — likely even more intelligent than Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo).
"There's this constant contrasting thing about this Neanderthalic lughead who's way more intelligent than anybody else in the movie, by far," said Brolin.
"Avengers: Infinity War" will follow the mightiest Marvel superheroes as they go up against Thanos and stop him from destroying the Earth. The film arrives in theaters on April 27.

CBCP lauds probe on OFWs’ sexual abuse, says problem not only in Mideast
MANILA, Philippines — The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) expressed support on Wednesday by moves of the government to investigate Philippine embassy officials allegedly involved in the sexual exploitation of distressed overseas Filipino workers in the Middle East.
Father Edwin Corros, executive secretary of the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Migrants and Itinerant People (ECMI), said a thorough investigation should be done to hold culprits liable for their actions.
“If there are real victims seeking justice, the concerned government agencies should really investigate and the culprits should face the consequences of their deeds,” Corros told reporters on Wednesday.
The CBCP official said the commission was not surprised with the reports of the so-called “sex-for-fly” operation, saying that such allegations have already been around for some time and have not been exclusive to the Middle East.
“That allegation has already been existing a long time ago not only in the Middle East. This issue is quite complicated,” added Corros.
On Tuesday, Akbayan Representative Walden Bello, chairman of the committee on overseas workers’ affairs of the House of Representatives, revealed that three officials from the Philippine overseas offices in the Middle East were involved in the scandal.
Two of the three officials were allegedly involved in running sex operations in Amman, Jordan and Kuwait while the third supposedly engaged in sexual acts with OFWs staying at the embassy’s shelter for distressed workers in Damascus, Syria.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz immediately ordered an investigation and created a team that would look into the reports.
Over Church-run Radio Veritas, Maasin Bishop Precioso Cantillas, the CBCP-ECMI chairman, strongly condemned the supposed wrongdoing committed by embassy officials against the OFWs, who he said were struggling to work for their families back home.
“These OFWs are already having a hard time working and then these officials will make it more difficult for them,” said Cantillas.
“It’s a good thing that the government is already doing something to get to the bottom of these allegations and prosecute the guilty,” added the prelate.
But he added that such controversy was another strong indication that the government must continue to look for ways to provide Filipinos adequate jobs in the country.

On board the Falcon 10X
Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse (France) is responsible for the Falcon 10X’s integrated air management system. This major work package covers the bleed, air-conditioning, cabin pressure control, air preparation, overheat detection, and wing anti-ice protection systems.
Building on the architecture of the Dassault Falcon 6X air management system also supplied by Liebherr, this package provides a combination of robust and proven equipment along with new Liebherr component technology developments. One example is the introduction of smart valves developed by Liebherr, which offer increased digital control, opening the door to system-control optimization and increased product health management.
Furthermore, the Liebherr-Aerospace team in Lindenberg (Germany) was commissioned by the Canadian company Héroux-Devtek to supply landing gear actuation and steering components for the Falcon 10X. Based on its experience, Liebherr was able to offer the business jet the latest technology based on the newest environmental requirements within a very short time.
The relationship between Liebherr and Dassault Aviation is already seven decades strong with Liebherr developing, manufacturing, and servicing major systems and components for various Dassault aircraft, including all members of the Falcon family, such as 7X, 8X, 900, 2000 / 2000EX and the 50EX.

Changing your diet from meat-based to plant-based takes some effort and education, unless you plan to buy take-out food from Whole Foods for the rest of your life. The internet is a great place to research topics (what is nutritional yeast?) and find an amazing variety of vegan recipes. Also exploring the health food isles of your local grocery store is a great way to find new products. Here are some things that I now always have on hand:
Because I use such great quantities, I buy the following at Costco: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, capers, kalamata olives, walnuts, the BIG 102-oz can of whole tomatoes, cumin, coffee and prepared hummus (when I don’t have time to make my own.)
From the bulk section of my grocery store: red lentils, quinoa, bulgar, millet, flaxseed, garbanzo beans, black beans, and nutritional yeast.
From the health food section of my grocery store: vegetable broth, miso paste, tahini, spelt pasta, tofu, and almond milk.
From the freezer section: chopped spinach, shelled edamame and sweet potato fries.
From the produce section: I always have onions on hand and a bag of peeled garlic in my refrigerator.
Also, it’s very helpful to have some sharp knives, a crockpot, a hand-held stick blender and a food processor.

Nintendo recently launched a massive update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with the Roost cafe adding rare islands to explore, and growing usable. But, the animal crossing community seems the most excited for a feature that didn’t even advertise the capability to put in a few DIY recipes to the storage table.
Since Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched in 2020, players haven’t been able to put their many DIY recipes in place. That means they either lug them around in their inventory, pawn them off other players or simply scatter them around their house. None of these solutions are ideals, so fans have wondered to how long they’ll be able to store their laundry list.
RELATED: Animal Crossing Update starts early, distressing guides publish around the clock.
The wait has finally finished and the community is already calling that “the most useful part of the update.”
BEST PART of the UPDATE! WHY DON’T YOU SELL US! I’m DYING! AnimalCrossing
Over the Subreddit Animal Crossing, an entire thread is dedicated to singing the praises of the new feature. Players scream and laugh; and one can even see the excitement in the crowd. Many fans have been waiting for this day. Redditor has explained why it is “rubicondeluxemango”: “Hello!
“Having them [DIY recipes] dropped on the floor or inside your house increases your island’s size. People don’t like throwing them away because it smells like a waste, but they need somewhere to go while you’re waiting for the money they have made.
With the ability to toss them in storage, animal cruelty prevention can finally survive all of these recipes without worrying about a reduced HHA score. This is an awesome addition to the update and it’s a little overpriced that Nintendo didn’t advertise the change.
New Horizons has released a lot of new content that doesn’t take over DIY recipes, but a lot more content. Here’s a quick look at some of the highlights.
- The ability to operate certain plants is limited.
- Helps people find homemade recipes for cooking.
- Kapp’n, who offers boat trips to rare islands, offers rare routes to the islands.
- Home storage increased.
- Storage Sheds
If you’ve been neglecting your Animal Crossing island for a couple of months, now is the time to dive back in, pick all those weeds and take your DIY recipes back in a proper place.

Tall Tales from West Virginia's Top 'Liars'
Bil Lepp is a liar... and proud of it. He's won the West Virginia Liars Contest five times.
Each year on Memorial Day weekend, West Virginia's best storytellers compete for the prestigious title of "Biggest Liar." The tall-tale contest draws large crowds, and the winner receives a Golden Shovel. You can imagine why.
A storyteller for more than 15 years, Lepp tells tales on subjects ranging from his dachshund, "Buck-dog," to his fourth-grade teacher, who he swore was a superhero.
But Lepp is just getting started on his fibbing career compared to Bonnie Collins. At 90, she has judged the West Virginia contest for more than 20 years... and as Debbie Elliott discovers, she still tells a pretty fair whopper, too.

Looks like there’s palace tension! While Kate Middleton’s always wanted at least 3 kids, Prince William’s reportedly satisfied with 2. A new report even claims the duo’s fighting over the disagreement, and it’s NOT pretty!
While Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2, can be a handful, Kate Middleton, 35, reportedly has her heart set on having at least one more child. Prince William, 35, however, is NOT up for that challenge — at least not yet. And according to Life & Style magazine, Kate and William’s disagreement on having more babies has been a major source of tension for the royal couple. So much so, that they reportedly let some of their fighting show in public while on their recent European Royal Tour. Click to see pics of the Royal Family on their summer 2017 tour.
“Tension has been simmering for some time,” an alleged royal insider told the publication. “It came to the surface under the pressure of a royal tour.” What reportedly started it all was when Kate was handed a stuffed animal designed to comfort newborns while in Warsaw, Poland on July 17. Kate thanked her gift-giver and said, “We will just have to have more babies.” However, a few hours later, she and William were photographed having an unusually tense exchange. “Coming from a family of three herself, [Kate] thinks it’s the perfect number,” the mag’s source explained. On the other hand though, “[William’s] quite happy with a boy and a girl.”
The source claims fatherhood has turned out to be harder than William thought. After all, George and Charlotte ARE active youngsters, as they’re “both at ages where they can’t sit still so they run around all over the place,” another insider said. “[William and Kate] are determined to be hands-on parents so there’s never a quiet moment.” Royal author Phil Dampier told Life & Style that he’s also heard talks of more babies has been a topic of tension for William and Kate.
“When I spoke to Kate at a reception about 18 months ago,” he dished. “She jokingly said, ‘If I got pregnant again now, I think William would be out the door!'” But while sources close to the Royals don’t think the pair will actually split, it does seem clear that William’s not down to have more kids anytime soon. “He just feels they have enough on their plates already,” the source added.
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — do you want Kate and William to have more kids? Do you think they WILL have another little prince or princess?

Government Framework Offers Cybersecurity
A threat-centric approach allows networks to establish domains for key functions.
A security framework established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is serving as a template for protecting networks using a threat-centric approach. The framework establishes five core functions in sequential order, and they are applicable across all network sectors.
The five core functions are Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. Some of them can be bundled as part of an overall cybersecurity program, which is an approach already being adopted by commercial security providers.
One model, developed by Cisco, aligns the five functions into three groups based on event timing. Identify and Protect are grouped as part of a “before” element that encompasses activities prior to a cyber attack. “Before” engages three operations: discover, enforce and harden. These prepare the network for a digital onslaught.
The Detect core function is the only one in the second element, tabbed “during.” Its stand-alone status reflects its key activities: detect, block and defend. In the event of a cyber attack, these three actions would be key to ensuring the network withstands the attack and survives to the greatest degree possible.
The Respond and Recover core functions finish the grouping in the “after” phase. At this point, the attack is over or winding down, and the network must deal with its aftereffects. The “after” element comprises three activities: scope, contain and remediate. These actions would restore operations, mitigate effects and prevent future recurrences.
This threat-centric approach outlined by NIST is designed to be scalable to any size organization, including large government agencies. NIST states its cybersecurity framework comprises standards, guidelines and practices to promote the protection of the critical infrastructure. “The prioritized, flexible, repeatable and cost-effective approach of the framework helps owners and operators of critical infrastructure to manage cybersecurity-related risk,” according to a NIST statement.
Join us for an online event on June 14, 2:00 p.m., EDT, to learn more about Cisco’s model.

These are 12,7 x 80SR Breda HEI rounds from the spanish civil war. They were used in airplane machine guns.
The yellow one is (BPD 37 S) and the red one is (BPD 39 S), the S indicating the explosive nature of the projectile (Scoppiante = Explosive).
Cases with this headstamp style were reloaded with ball bullets in Spain after the war, and probably during the war also. The “S” was sometimes confused with “Sevilla”.
What I cannot recall is the meaning of the red lacquer in the second projectile; my memory ain’t what it used to be and my memory ain’t what it used to be. Maybe the red lacquer indicated a self-destroying projectile. Any ideas?

“I’m good with 60/40,” says Charlotte when it comes to sharing strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) with her little sister Olivia. They invade our garden together for the first time ever looking to pick strawberries and some vegetables. Olivia is a bit young and new to the garden but she is enjoying the feel of the grass on her toes and motions to grab the strawberries, which are a bright red, her favorite color. Katie gives her a perfect little strawberry to lick and Olivia curls her tongue around it, savoring its juices.
Charlotte, on the other hand, is her usual self, popping more berries into her mouth than the basket. We try to divert both away with sugar snap peas (Pisum sativum ‘Macrocarpon Group’) but the strawberries are too much of a lure.
We expect many more visits.

The Addiction product line lists nine canned dog foods.
Each recipe below includes its related AAFCO nutrient profile when available on the product’s official webpage:
Growth, Maintenance, All Life Stages, Supplemental or Unspecified.
- Addiction Unagi and Seaweed [A]
- Addiction King Salmon and Potatoes [A]
- Addiction Hunter’s Venison Stew (4 stars) [A]
- Addiction Safari Buffalo Meatloaf (4 stars) [A]
- Addiction New Zealand Venison and Apples (5 stars) [A]
- Addiction Turkey with Cranberries and Apples (4 stars) [U]
- Addiction Black Forest Rabbit and Blueberries (4 stars) [A]
- Addiction New Zealand Brushtail and Vegetables (5 stars) [A]
- Addiction Herbed Duck Confit and Sweet Potatoes (4 stars) [A]
Addiction King Salmon and Potatoes was selected to represent the others in the line for this review.
Estimated Dry Matter Nutrient Content
Ingredients: King salmon, hoki, potatoes, peas, carrots, lemons, oranges, carrageenan, cassia gums, taurine, calcium carbonate, choline chloride, zinc sulphate, ferrous sulphate, vitamin E supplement, copper sulphate, manganese sulphate, niacin supplement, sodium selenite, thiamine mononitrate, calcium pantothenate, vitamin A supplement, riboflavin supplement, calcium iodate, vitamin B12 supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid
Fiber (estimated dry matter content) = 5%
Red items indicate controversial ingredients
|Estimated Nutrient Content|
|Dry Matter Basis||40%||10%||42%|
|Calorie Weighted Basis||38%||23%||40%|
The first ingredient in this dog food is salmon. Salmon is a fatty marine and freshwater fish not only high in protein but also omega 3 fatty acids, essential oils needed by every dog to sustain life.
The second item is hoki, a white fish found along the southern coasts of Australia and New Zealand. Although it is not as rich in fatty acids as salmon, it is just as high in protein.
The third ingredient is potato. Potatoes can be considered a gluten-free source of digestible carbohydrates. Yet with the exception of perhaps their caloric content, potatoes are of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
The fourth ingredient includes peas. Peas are a quality source of carbohydrates. And like all legumes, they’re rich in natural fiber.
However, peas contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.
The fifth ingredient includes carrots. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.
Next, we note the inclusion of two fruits, lemons and oranges.
From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.
But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.
With two notable exceptions…
First, carrageenan is a gelatin-like thickening agent extracted from seaweed. Although carrageenan has been used as a food additive for hundreds of years, there appears to be some recent controversy regarding its long term biological safety.
And lastly, the minerals listed here do not appear to be chelated. And that can make them more difficult to absorb. Non-chelated minerals are usually associated with lower quality dog foods.
Addiction Canned Dog Food The Bottom Line
Judging by its ingredients alone, Addiction canned dog food looks like an above-average wet product.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product’s meat content before determining a final rating.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 40%, a fat level of 10% and an estimated carbohydrate content of 42%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 39% and a mean fat level of 21%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 32% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 53%.
Near-average protein. Below-average fat. And above-average carbs when compared to a typical wet dog food.
Even when you consider the protein-boosting effect of the peas, this looks like the profile of a wet product containing a notable amount of meat.
Addiction is a grain-free, meat-based canned dog food using a notable amount of novel game species as its main sources of animal protein, thus earning the brand 4.5 stars.
Please note certain recipes are sometimes given a higher or lower rating based upon our estimate of their total meat content and (when appropriate) their fat-to-protein ratios.

text: Background & Goals nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) involves steatosis coupled with inflammation that may improvement into fibrosis and cirrhosis. induces inflammation and steatosis in both and mice. However it isn’t known if the early inflammatory response seen in these mice will maintain as time passes and result in liver harm. We hypothesized which the inflammatory response in both versions is enough to induce liver organ damage as time passes. Mice and Strategies were given a chow or HFC diet plan for three months. C57Bl6/J mice had been utilized as control. Outcomes Surprisingly hepatic irritation was abolished in mice although it was suffered in mice. Furthermore elevated apoptosis and hepatic fibrosis was just showed in mice. Finally bone-marrow-derived-macrophages of mice demonstrated an elevated inflammatory response after oxidized LDL (oxLDL) launching Mouse monoclonal to 4E-BP1 in comparison to mice. Bottom line mice however not mice created suffered hepatic irritation and liver harm upon long-term HFC nourishing due to elevated awareness for oxLDL uptake. Which means mice certainly are a appealing physiological model especially vulnerable for looking into the starting point of hepatic irritation in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Introduction nonalcoholic fatty liver organ disease covers an illness spectrum which range from Dexrazoxane HCl basic steatosis to Dexrazoxane HCl nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) liver organ fibrosis cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma . Whereas steatosis might not adversely affect final result irritation determines the Dexrazoxane HCl long-term prognosis of the disease -. It really is still as yet not known why some sufferers progress towards irritation while others usually do not. Discovering the molecular basis from the hepatic modifications from the metabolic symptoms is normally highly reliant on the option of pet models which imitate the individual condition in the physiological and metabolic factors of watch  . To time the mostly used pet versions for NASH imitate especially late levels of individual disease. Thus there’s a need for pet models you can use for looking into the elements that potentiate the inflammatory response within NASH. nonalcoholic fatty liver organ disease (NAFLD) is normally a component from the metabolic symptoms and therefore it really is frequently connected with hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis . Among the commonly used versions for atherosclerosis research may be the low thickness lipoprotein (LDL) receptor knock-out (mouse. The LDL receptor Dexrazoxane HCl has a major function in the clearance of apoB and apoE-containing Dexrazoxane HCl lipoproteins . Another mouse model for atherosclerosis may be the apolipoprotein E2 knock-in (mice the murine gene is normally replaced with the individual allele. The APOE2 protein includes a markedly decreased affinity for the LDL receptor resulting in a plasma lipoprotein profile resembling individual type III hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP) . Previously we utilized these ‘humanized’ mice and mice to review NASH. Both hyperlipidemic mice created early hepatic irritation and steatosis when given a high-fat-high-cholesterol (HFC) diet plan whereas C57Bl6 mice just created steatosis . Unlike the lipoprotein profile in wild-type (WT) profile where most cholesterol exists in the HDL small percentage the profile from the mouse and it is even more comparable using the individual plasma lipoprotein profile where cholesterol is principally confined towards the LDL small percentage . Hence when given a HFC diet plan both and mice possess the to be utilized as pet models for looking into the elements that potentiate the inflammatory response within NASH. Nevertheless data in the literature regarding the result of irritation on liver harm in hyperlipidemic mice on NASH Dexrazoxane HCl development are incomplete and inconclusive. Predicated on the pronounced inflammatory response noticed upon short-term HFC nourishing we hypothesized which the inflammatory response in both versions will maintain over time and you will be enough to stimulate fibrosis and liver organ damage. To check this hypothesis male and mice had been given a HFC diet plan for three months and normolipidemic C57Bl6 (WT) mice had been utilized as the control group. Amazingly although plasma and liver organ lipid levels had been still raised in both hyperlipidemic versions after three months of HFC nourishing the inflammatory response was just suffered in the mice. Furthermore elevated apoptosis and hepatic fibrosis was just showed in mice. By analysing.

The village is on the Rock River in northwest Illinois, about 4 miles upstream of its outlet to the Mississippi. The village is the site of the south campsites which comprised the Sauk and Fox village of Saukenuk, once the second-largest Native American inhabitation in North America.
Originally platted along the right-of-way for the Hennepin Canal, in 1837, the village site was called in land speculation papers "Hampton" (not the town in Illinois, approximately 13 miles north-northeast, on the Mississippi River—see Hampton, Illinois for more). "Hampton's" land speculators, George Camden and Franklin Vandruff, sold land along the Rock River, along a north-west flowing creek, which was re-routed north into the Rock's main channel. Along Mill Creek, the industries of wool-carding and (river clamshell) "pearl" button-making helped rename the village by 1841 as Camden Mills.
The village has "sister cities" in Missouri, Tennessee, and Michigan.
Milan is located at(41.446333, -90.565487).
According to the 2010 census, Milan has a total area of 6.463 square miles (16.74 km2), of which 5.87 square miles (15.20 km2) (or 90.82%) is land and 0.593 square miles (1.54 km2) (or 9.18%) is water.

The Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: A Novel

Who was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis? She was a wife, mother, artist, editor, and world traveler. A bright young woman who rose to unparalleled celebrity. One of the world's most inspiring and influential women of her day, she has become arguably the most important female icon of all time. Yet she also was a woman of passion and deep emotions, who wanted to experience all that life had to give. How did she feel about it all? She never told.
Jackie said quite famously, "I want to live my life, not record it." Jackie remains elusive, her interior life hidden, her soul masked behind sunglasses and an enigmatic smile. For the first time, these fictional memoirs tell Jackie's story in Jackie's voice—with all her joy and wit, grief and bitterness, gentleness and fortitude.
Ruth Francisco boldly plunges into the subtext of Jackie's public life, psychology, and sexuality, beyond her dazzling mythic exterior, reimagining Jackie's feelings and thoughts between the lines of recorded history. In this riveting epic tale, we follow Jackie's journey from her privileged yet wrenching youth, through the exaltation and suffering of her marriage to John F. Kennedy, to the shattering despair of her losses, exile, and loneliness. As she learns to forgive her jealous rival, Maria Callas, and her abusive second husband, Aristotle Onassis, Jackie begins to find redemption, ultimately discovering peace through her children and her work.
Powerful, poignant, and inspiring, The Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is a sweeping novel, a mythic fable of the trials and tribulations of the female soul.

It has been a wonderful few weeks and the eternal optimist in me is filled with love and hope. Its hard to know where to begin but most importantly, the Australian Parliament has finally signed off on the same-sex marriage bill. This was an historic moment of not only love and compassion but one of equality, dignity and the acknowledgment of the most basic of human rights. I often wonder how beautiful our world would be if we stopped negative and hateful judgment of others and instead respected and encouraged their journeys.
Although not compulsory, just over 12.6 million people cast their postal vote with 61.6% of people voting YES and 38.4% voting NO. I have so much pride in our wonderful county.
A little random rainbow chalk bombing never goes astray…….
Rainbow over the Newcastle Marina…….
The city I love and very happily live in, burst with pride and a thousand mullets when the SuperCars came to town. Now this has certainly been a contentious event which saw mass disruption, chaos and the divide of residents who were either enthralled or enraged by it all. Whether you love or loath the SuperCars being in Newcastle, there was always going to be an upside. And that is, you get to channel your inner bogan for a few fabulous days and that my friends, is never a bad thing.
190,000 people descended on Newcastle with car enthusiasts, petrol heads and everyone else mingling blissfully together under the most perfect of summer skies. Cold Chisel headlined and I very happily discovered you can recognise when a bogan has come of age as they turn up to a Chisel concert in a well ironed Bintang tee. Happy days indeed.
‘I love ya Mossyyyyyyyyyyyy’……. 🙂
As the rains hammered down, we gathered at Roche Estate in the heart of the Hunter Valley. Drenched to the bone, we hunkered down in our plastic rain ponchos and waited. Then a slightly built man with grey hair and beard walked on stage. It was Yusuf/Cat Stevens.
I do believe some kind of wonderful fell over the vineyard that night as the moment he began to sing, the rains stopped and they did not begin to fall again until after he left the stage.
That soulful voice, unchanged by the years, delivered messages of peace and tolerance, love and reassurance. And those beautiful lyrics of yearning, question and hope uplifted the soaking wet 14,000 strong crowd.
He was haunting and humble and I fell in love with him all over again just as I had done in the 70’s. I announced to my husband when I arrived home that I was converting to Islam. He hid his shock at this revelation well I thought 🙂

I wrote a blog post recently, published 1st October, with part of the title being There are some moments in life which bring a rare loveliness…….. In that post I wrote of how women can very often face the obstacle of other women who are driven by an unfathomable meanness to destroy and I have also written, again based on my own experience, of how unspeakably cruel some women can be. When such brutal persecution is targeted toward you, it will leave an aching chasm which makes one so very wary. Ever vigilant, you develop a caution toward others which makes it near impossible to foster any new relationships. In that post, I also wrote of my great fortune in meeting some remarkable and inspiring women and it was one of those women who sat right alongside me during the concert. There are few things which have as much impact nor define and sustain our souls than acceptance, friendship and happiness…….and the mutual love of a Cat.
So back to our last days in Hong Kong and what more can be said of the home of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat and the amazing bamboo spidermen. Yes indeed. The scaffold workers of Hong Kong are dubbed ‘bamboo spidermen’. The spidermen move about with such agility on what looks to be the most flimsiest of frame-work, all of which, is constructed entirely from bamboo. It must take incredible skill and courage to erect these neat, intricate and very complex platforms and walls which hold hundreds of construction workers daily. This very traditional building method, the use of long slender bamboo poles tethered together with Panduit ties, form the most amazing exoskeletons which are even used in the construction of the tall, ultra modern skyscrapers. Again, this is Hong Kong so effortlessly slipping between century old tradition and a very modern world……….
The unassuming ‘bamboo spidermen’…….
This bold city, which also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, comes alive after dark. When the sun sets, the neon lights rise to assault your every sense with a glowing radiance of colour and energy. Hanging overhead from the decaying facades of old apartment blocks and shops, there is such charm in this cityscape and I love the way the light from these incandescent masterpieces’ hits a wet pavement to become so very like a watery work of art.
Very sadly though, and this is due in-part to the sterility of the digital age, these wonderfully iconic pieces of signage, the inspiration for many futuristic sci-fi films including Blade Runner, are beginning to disappear.
A final snapshot…….
Every jewel store in Hong Kong sells these sweet gold pigs which represent sincerity and honor………..and a whole mess of affluent cuteness
Our time over in Hong Kong we boarded a boat headed to Taiwan, a little over 388 nautical miles away. And I would just like to point out that to drink rum at 8 o’clock in the morning does not make you an alcoholic! It makes you a pirate 😉
And suddenly, there was nothing between Hong Kong, Taiwan and me but that incredible expanse of the China Sea…….xx

Wildfire in four areas of Dersim amid military operations
Wildfires erupted in Dersim’s Nazimiye and Pülümür districts, Hakis region and Geyiksuyu village in the wake of the operations of the Turkish military.
Wildfires caused by Turkish military forces partaking in operations against the PKK rage across Northern Kurdistan territory.
More fires erupted on Tuesday in the countryside of Dersim province, near the Dokuzkayalar village of Nazimiye district, Uzuntarla village in Pülümür, Hakis region and near Geyiksuyu village.
The rural areas of Dersim province are bombed by Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles since July, in addition to the mortar attacks launched from outposts and shelling by Cobra type helicopters.
The fire in the widely forested area near Dokuzkayalar village is spreading to a larger area because local people are prevented from stopping the fire from spreading for “security” reasons.
Dokuzkayalar Village Association Chairperson Hüseyin Aygül stated that another fire has been started near their village while a former one had just died down itself after 10 days.
Aygül said the fire is spreading to private property area, adding: “Our lands, fruit trees and private property areas are on fire. Our properties are burning in front of our eyes but no intervention is being made. One fire dies down and another starts. What will these deliberate fires help?”
OVER 100 WILDFIRES IN 20 AREAS OF DERSİM
The wildfires caused by increasingly ongoing military operations in Dersim territory are not mentioned in the list of “Forest Fires” published on the official website of Turkish General Directorate of Forestry.
On the other hand, Dersim’s Provincial Directorate of Forestry did not dispatch crew to the areas of “forest fires of unknown origin”.
Basing on their compiled data, environmentalist activist Haydar Çetinkaya stated that more than 100 cases of forest fire took place in at least 20 various regions of Dersim during the year of 2017. He said an area of over 800 hectares is guessed to have suffered damage from these fires.


Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh met the Indian diaspora in Moscow yesterday. Addressing the gathering, the Home Minister expressed satisfaction with his visit to Russia and his talks with the various Russian leaders. He said that his visit had led to concrete outcomes to strengthen cooperation between India and Russia in the field of Security, Counter-terrorism, counter-radicalization, anti-drug trafficking, Counterfeit currency, Information Sharing and on training specialists in these fields.
Rajnath Singh spoke about the long history and foundation of the relationship between India and Russia, and described Russia as ‘one of the most credible friends of India’. He praised the work that individually every Indian was doing in Russia and called them as the “Cultural Ambassadors” of India. He said that while physical distance between them and India could be large, there can never be an “emotional distance”.
He informed the gathering about the efforts of the Government of India in controlling terrorism and neutralizing the infiltrating terrorists as well as about the determination of the Indian Armed Forces in responding to various provocations. He identified terrorism and radicalism as the two greatest threats facing the world.
He apprised the gathering about the initiatives of the Government of India in developing the country in various fields via. Jan Dhan Yojana, Make in India, Aadhar implementation to take India on a fast-track of economic progress. He said India is on its way to becoming one of the leading economic powers of the world. He talked about the strength of Indian culture that termed the whole world as one family – “Vasudeva Kutumbakam”, which forms the basis for India to become a benevolent power in future. From development of infrastructure to bringing in manufacturing into India, the Government of India has in the past three years contributed immensely, earning the goodwill of the people of India.

The petroleum sector is a service-intensive industry. The quality, price and availability of services are therefore important for the productivity level in the petroleum sector. This paper analyses how intermediate inputs contribute to productivity in the Norwegian petroleum sector and discusses how technical progress and changes in the international trade regime affect productivity and vertical relations between oil companies and their suppliers. It is shown that in a small market, tailor-made inputs and close vertical relations between the oil companies and their suppliers are the preferred and most cost-effective technology. As the market expands, the relative cost of tailor-made inputs increases, and at one critical point becomes less cost-effective than standardised inputs. A policy implication of the analysis is that the NORSOK policy of enhancing standardisation needs to be complemented with a more open market in order to achieve its objectives. The analysis is particularly relevant for oil-related producer-services, since this is the market for intermediate inputs that is the least open.

Emily Henry joins us to discuss the writing of her instant New York Times bestselling novel Beach Read (2020) and give us a sneak peek at her forthcoming release People We Meet on Vacation (2021).
“A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they’re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer’s block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. But as the summer stretches on, January discovers a gaping plot hole in the story she’s been telling herself about her own life, and begins to wonder what other things she might have gotten wrong, including her ideas about the man next door.” (From the publisher)

Hi, AnalogBill. I would assume that Microchip has taken non-ideal operations into consideration in the FilterLab software because the program uses Microchip op amps and the company wants engineers to get a good model so they will buy Microchip devices. Good point, though, about watching out for models that do not reflect real-world op-amp characteristics. Thanks for your comments.
Your filter plot highlights a common mistake in filter design. The deviation shown at 5 kHz on the plot may not be due just to the "protoboard" you used. Unless your modeling software contains a comprehensive model of the op-amps used, it may assume they're rather ideal ... especially with regard to gain-bandwidth or GBW. Since most filters, especially "anti-alias" filters, are useful because of their high attenuation beyond their cutoff frequency, this is an especially important consideration. Note that the first capacitor in each section has one end tied to an op-amp output. If the op-amp has infinite GBW, its output impedance will remain very low - even at high frequencies in the "cutoff region" of the filter's response. But if there's not enough GBW, this impedance will allow the first capacitor to feed signal around the stage, causing the "leveling out" of passband attenuation hinted at by the plot.
Texas Instruments has a great filter design program called FilterPro Desktop. Incredibly well done and totally free (you will have to login to download). I've used it many times in the past; not only does it do "theoretical" but also has options for "real world" values. http://www.ti.com/tool/FILTERPRO
If you want something even more advanced and don't mind spending a few dollars ($49 to be exact) there is Filter Wiz Pro from Schematica. It's like the TI program on steroids (http://www.schematica.com/active_filters/fwpro.html). More choices for filter designs than you will ever need.
The Microchip offering is good for what it costs (free) but you will find the other two much more useful as genuine tools.
Jon, thanks for the informative post. By entering our requirements, we will be provided with the filter design along with the schematic, component values, spice. Is this FilterLab software available for free download? If yes, then it will be a great help for self training projects.

In a bid to boost the viability of lithium-based electric car batteries, a team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has developed a chemistry that could possibly double an EV’s driving range while cutting its battery cost in half.
For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This discussion will examine what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.


Camping, Sleeping Definitely Out
Bring your shopping cart to Harvey Milk Plaza — it’s legal. Just don’t fall asleep. That’s not.
Shopping carts, soap-box racers and any other “four-wheeled conveyances” San Franciscans may wish to push are welcome in two Castro District public plazas under a set of laws approved by a 6-5 vote at the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
Earlier versions of the laws governing Harvey Milk and Jane Warner plazas, drafted by Supervisor Scott Wiener, who represents the Castro, banned outright “four-wheeled conveyances.” This was because of space constraints the plazas; homeless advocates like the Coalition on Homelessness said it unfairly targeted street people.
The board vote may be the end of what was a contentious chapter in Castro history, of which the plazas are a recent addition. Jane Warner Plaza, named for a deceased local police officer, was created by shutting a portion of 17th Street to vehicle traffic and putting tables and chairs there during daytime hours.
Though since it was still legally a street, the plaza was governed by the Vehicle Code and needed new rules, according to Wiener, who called the “behavior” of some denizens of the plaza “horrendous.”
The laws had support of the Castro Business Improvement District and local merchants, but a vocal group of opponents lashed back, dubbing the rules “draconian” and “excessive” as well as unnecessary, a concept illustrated last Friday when a member of the Coalition on Homelessness was arrested for pitching a tent in Harvey Milk Plaza.
Other provisions against distributing leaflets or vending
were called too excessive. UPDATE: and in fact, never existed, despite some claims to the contrary. Harvey Milk Plaza is also historically a place where “queer youth” — that’s the term used by city officials — could congregate in safety, and any tightening of restrictions on using the plaza was seen as a threat to that community.
“We would have been the first city in the country to prohibit a wheeled conveyance,” said Board President David Chiu, who provided the swing vote necessary to pass the law.
“Many people that I know of who are homeless, the only place they have to keep their possessions is a shopping cart,” added Supervisor Christina Olague.
Under the rules approved Tuesday, the plazas are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week; distributing leaflets or disseminating political speech is specifically allowed; and a permit is needed to sell items, just as it is anywhere else in the city. The provisions against sleeping and camping included in the San Francisco Park Code apply in the spaces.
Bob Offer-Westort, Human Rights Organizer at the Coalition on Homelessness who was arrested and cited for camping on Friday, called the altered laws “a win.”
“Every aspect of the legislation that we objected to has been removed, and the net result for homeless people is actually beneficial,” he said, noting that a homeless person cited for sleeping can be issued an infraction and not an automatic misdemeanor.
“I also think that it’s sad that it took so much blood, sweat, and tears on both sides to reach this point. If we had engaged in a real community process at the beginning, we probably could have found an even better solution without divisiveness or enmity within the Castro and the queer community.”
In a phone interview Wednesday, Wiener offered his own version of events: he’d met with the Coalition on Homelessness multiple times and asked Offer-Westort and Coalition executive director Jennifer Friedenbach to send him suggested edits or other changes they wanted made to the legislation — and not once received a reply.
“They just said, ‘We’re opposed to it,'” Wiener said.

It's been a crazy few years for dancer, singer, and actress Ariana DeBose. After performing in Hamilton's original cast (where she earned viral fame as The Bullet), she scored a Tony nomination for her portrayal of Disco Donna in last year's Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. Now, she's set to play Anita in Steven Spielberg's remake of the iconic West Side Story movie, which starts filming this year.
DeBose's star turn is coming at a time when true triple threats have become a rarer breed on Broadway, with shows favoring dancers who dance and singers who sing. But the multifaceted DeBose has always defied categorization—and her versatility has proved to be the key to her success.
Dorrance Dance's Elizabeth Burke's dynamic technique and intricate musicality have made her a tap-scene standout. A Chapel Hill, NC, native, she trained with the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble, led by her mentor, Gene Medler. She's an alumna of The School at Jacob's Pillow and graduated from Marymount Manhattan College with bachelor's degrees in political science and communication arts. Burke appeared on a Dance Spirit cover in 2010, and has danced with Dorrance Dance since its formation in 2011. Catch her performing at the company's New York City Center run tonight through Saturday, and read on for The Dirt!

Simple Memory Monitor that helps to decide if it is time to dump data to disk.
Very simple memory monitor that records the percent of memory used. This can be useful if you want to dump data to disk if memory consumptions becomes too high.
Description and Usage
The MemoryMonitor class takes an interval and a memory_limit in percent.
To start recording memory usage:
from memon import MemoryMonitor import time memmon = MemoryMonitor(interval=0.1) memmon.start() memmon.start_recording() time.sleep(1) memmon.stop_recording() assert len(memmon.history) == 10
If historical data is recorded this can be used to query if memory usage will keep under the memory limit. This is done by calling:
This function makes some assumptions:
- The Python process is the main memory user on the system.
- Any big fluctuations in memory usage are because of memory allocation/deallocation of the process running the memon.
- We want to fit the average fluctuation that occurs during processing under the memory limit.
Because of these assumptions the memory_available() function calculates:
delta = max(history) - min(history) level = mean(history) + delta level < memory_limit
This project has been set up using PyScaffold 2.5.7. For details and usage information on PyScaffold see http://pyscaffold.readthedocs.org/.

BAYSIDE, CALIFORNIA, August 15, 2018 – Pioneering SaaS-based streaming solutions provider StreamGuys will treat IBC2018 attendees to a technology preview of powerful new network DVR-like (nDVR) functionality for live streams. SGrewind technology lets broadcasters automatically retain a rolling window of content from their live stream, giving their audience the ability to rewind, pause, or restart a stream from the beginning of a program. StreamGuys will take the wraps of the new capabilities in stand 8.A59 at the exhibition (September 14-18 in Amsterdam), where the company will co-exhibit with ENCO.
SGrewind will be a feature of StreamGuys’ enterprise-class, cloud-based SGrecast live stream repurposing and workflow management system, which offers broadcasters a comprehensive platform for recording live streams and transforming them into revenue-expanding side channels and podcasts. The new feature gives listeners and viewers more control of their live streaming experiences by letting them pause and resume streams without missing any content; rewinding for a fixed time period; or starting the stream at a specific segment, similar to a television electronic program guide (EPG).
“SGrewind is another powerful step in SGrecast’s mission of helping broadcasters flexibly and easily repurpose the content they’re already producing, so they can engage their audiences in new and exciting ways,” said Jason Osburn, executive vice president, StreamGuys. “Media enterprises are constantly looking for new ways to differentiate their offerings against their competitors, and SGrewind provides effortless tools to give their audiences more convenience and control over how they consume live streams.”
SGrewind technology supports a wide range of audience-empowering use cases. A listener could pause a live stream in the radio station’s mobile app because of poor connectivity when getting onto a subway or elevator, then resume the stream from that point when subsequently re-opening the app. A viewer could access a broadcaster’s live stream and jump back to the beginning of the most recent news, traffic or weather segment, providing quick access to what interests him or her most. In another example, someone listening to a news segment but only partially paying attention could rewind 15 or 20 seconds to focus on something they missed.
SGrewind-enabled live stream control will be available through StreamGuys’ advanced media players as well as third-party players and apps. SGrewind will be supported in StreamGuys’ managed, embeddable SGplayer, while compatible players with rewind controls can be also generated from within SGrecast. An SGrewind API and URL-based control strings also allow customers to integrate SGrewind support into their own players and custom mobile apps.
Broadcasters with fixed schedules will be able to bring them into SGrewind to generate EPG-like controls. Rewindable streams will be available in both HLS and MPEG-DASH formats. Audio stream support will be available in the initial SGrewind release – currently slated for Q4 – with video support to follow.
“As we start talking to customers about SGrewind, they keep surprising us with additional use cases that we didn’t envision right out of the gate,” said Osburn. “We love helping them turn those unique ideas into reality, and we look forward to officially unveiling the technology at IBC2018 to get even more feedback as we finalize its initial feature set.”


The SSA will be the state’s commitment to help railways in land acquisition, shifting utility services on time, attaining more FSI to help developers generate funds and way leave charges for bringing equipment and required machinery to the city.
“This agreement says that state government will help railways for executing the project and required FSI will be also given. However, the exact FSI has not been defined in the agreement,” said Mahesh Kumar, WR general manager.
Another key development in the project is the appointment of a financial consultant by the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), which is expected around the same time. The MRVC has already appointed legal consultants Hemant Sahai Associates and are in process of finalising financial consultants, tenders of which will be opened on March 15.
The air-conditioned Oval Maidan–Virar railway corridor will cost Rs21,000 crore and have 26 new railway stations, of which 19 are likely to be in Mumbai.

Once the reality of the positive pregnancy test sets in, dreaming about the yet-to-arrive begins. Curiosity about gender, options for names, ways to manage, shopping ideas, etc., begin to get discussed. And then totally out of the blue the news comes that there is a miscarriage. This is one of the most depressing phases. It is very important for the family to be around and support each other. While the entire family is upset and hurt over the news, the mother needs most care as there is just not emotional but a huge physical component also to the episode. On the other hand, remember that miscarriages are extremely common, and is no indication of a fertility issue.
The first step would be to diagnose and confirm the miscarriage. After that, depending on whether it was complete or incomplete, some medical intervention might be required. In most cases, medications like misoprostol are given to expel the uterine contents. These help by clearing out the contents in about a couple of days' time. In some cases, a D and C might be required if your doctor suspects that medication will not suffice. This also helps identify if there is any issue in the uterus that could have caused the miscarriage.
While the above take care of the physical part, the emotional component also requires cautious management. Needless to say, this is trickier than the earlier one.
Mourn to your heart's content - When you have nursed a life within you and have lost it, it is very normal to cry for its loss. There would be a mix of emotions - shock, denial, confusion, anger, grief, depression, etc. Take some solace from that fact that this is nature's way of removing unhealthy fetuses.
Get someone to talk to - Need not be your husband, but anybody whom you can talk to without having to watch words. A sibling, a good friend, a close relative - your choice. Make sure you don't pick ones who will judge and sympathize with you. More than sympathy, you need someone understanding and knowledgeable.
Socialize more - As you would have kept to yourself post your positive test, use this time to socialize more and meet friends whom you have not regularly been in touch with. Close family members, your children (if you already have), society groups, movie groups, etc., help to a great extent.
Formal medical counseling: If you are not able to cope with your regular circle of family and friends, try seeking professional advice from counseling.
Spirituality - Whether you believe in temple or churches, spend some time there. Involve in some religious activity if you would like, this helps very often.
As much as it is painful and traumatic, it is not very uncommon or unnatural. Get back on your feet, the sooner you do, the better.

In this cause the Chief Justice laid down the following rule in computing interest.
McKEAN, Chief Justice. The rule of computing interest must be such, that the interest of money paid in before the time, must be deducted from the interest of the whole sum due at the time appointed by the instrument for making the payment. For instance, a bond to pay £.100, with annual interest at 6 per cent and at the end of six months, £.50 is paid in. This payment shall not be apportioned, £.3 to the discharge of the half year's interest, and £.47 to the diminution of the principal; so as to calculate the remaining interest at 6 per cent, upon £.53 for six months; But the interest shall be charged at the end of the year upon £.100; the payment of £.50 shall then be deducted from the aggregate sum of £.106, and the obligor receive a credit for £.1, 10 as interest of £.50 for six months.
The reason and propriety of the rule laid down by the Chief Justice, will be evident from a short calculation, stating Obligor and Obligee, as Debtor and Creditor, according to the mercantile form.
So that the Obligor not only pays £.1 11 9 1/2 more in the year by the second method of calculation; but the Obligee gains £.3 more upon his £.100; for, if he puts out the £.47 when he receives it, at the end of the six months it will yield £.1 8 2 1/2 interest, which added to £.7 11 9 1/2, that he has already received, amounts to £.9.
