Elisabeth Hildebrand – The Mistress
May 14, 2019 Moniek Auguste of Württemberg, The Royal Women 0
Elisabeth's husband Karl Anselm, 4th Prince of Thurn and Taxis (public domain)
Elisabeth Hildebrand (or Hillebrand) was born in 1757 as the daughter of an Adam (Rupert?) Hildebrand and an Ursula (Eva?) Berner. She was the youngest of ten siblings. The family was of humble origin, the family either ran a small farm in Berchtesgaden or they sold goods on a market.
On 4 June 1787, the wife of Karl Anselm, the 4th Prince of Thurn and Taxis, Auguste of Württemberg, died in her prison at Hornberg. Elisabeth had been his mistress for a while and she had given birth to their illegitimate son on 4 May 1787. With the convenient death of his wife, Karl Anselm was now free to marry his mistress and they married on 8 August 1787. However, due to her low rank, she could not take her husband's title and the marriage was considered to be morganatic. A year after their wedding, she was made "Frau von Train" with their son taking the last name "von Train." However, their love apparently cooled not much later and they had no other children together. Karl Anselm ordered his wife to move away from Regensburg.
On 13 November 1805, Karl Anselm suffered a stroke while on the road and passed away a few hours later. Elisabeth immediately took up her financial claims with his son and successor Karl Alexander, now the 5th Prince of Thurn and Taxis and reminded him of his duty to look after her and his half-brother. However, a year later her claims had still not been settled. She was in deep money trouble and had probably already forged her stepson's signature to secure a loan. To prevent further embarrassment, she was finally granted a pension for her maintenance.
The news of Elisabeth's illness reached the Princely court on 17 April 1841 and she died four weeks later. Her son wrote, "After five months of terrible suffering, today at noon, my mother has gone to sleep with the Lord. He thanked his cousin Maximilian Karl, 6th Prince of Thurn and Taxis – Karl Alexander had died in 1827 – for the pension and asked for money for the funeral and burial and also for mourning clothes for his wife and daughter. Elisabeth's line has died out in the male line.1

Writing a review of Wealthy Affiliate University is no simple task. Wealthy Affiliate (WA from now on) is not a single product, tool, or technique. WA consists of many parts each of which has massive value in its own respect. Because of this, WA is a tremendously undervalued resource for what it offers. Here is an overview of some of the different aspects of WA and my experience with them. I should also mention that everything I describe below is included with the platinum membership – there are no hidden or extra charges for anything.
I have spent hours reading through these training resources. Some are very focused and provide a lot of detail about one thing (like how to write a Squidoo lens). Others are multi-part broad manuals that take you step by step through an entire process (like how to set up a website and promote it with an article marketing campaign). I have found that if there is something I need to know I can almost always find a training resource to help me. If not, there is always community support.
When the training resources are not enough, or you need some one-on-one coaching there are forums which practically everyone participates in. You can ask questions on any of the training resource, any problems or issues you are facing, or you can just share a recent success or insight you have had. The members of WA are extremely supportive. They understand that some people are coming in with absolutely no knowledge or experience with internet marketing at all. Personally, I've received very helpful feedback on any questions I've asked.
In addition to the forums you can also talk directly to any member in the WA community – including the top income earners, and the creators of WA themselves – Kyle and Carson. This level of support ensures that you will always get an answer to your question no matter how basic, advanced, obscure, or technical.
When implementing an online marketing campaign you need access to tools and WA has them all. There are tools for doing keyword research, website creation, clickbank research, spying on your competition, writing and spinning articles, and more.
I use the keyword research tools on an almost daily basis and it has helped tremendously in my marketing efforts.
Hosting – Included with your WA membership is unlimited hosting (at least at the time of writing this). There are tools that you can use to set up a website with the click of a button and have it hosted by WA. It could not be any easier to start affiliate marketing with these kinds of services.
WA spaces – this is a place where people can create a profile, create a personal blog, and connect with other WA members. It is WA's own social networking area.
WA jobs – the job posting area inside WA lets you farm out work that you don't like such as technical work, article writing, or anything else. You can also find jobs here for things you are good at if you want to earn some extra cash.
All this would be meaningless unless people got results – and people do! There is an area in the forum dedicated to success stories where you can find posts on a daily basis by people who have made their first sale to people who have had their first $1000 day. WA is full of success stories by real people just like you who are looking to earn money online.
Despite my extremely positive experience with WA there are some problems that people run into when they join. Since there is so much information people get lost, flounder around, and waste time that would be better spent implementing the things they learn and earning money. This is why it is so important that when you join you follow the Step by Step Action Plan. This plan gives you a solid foundation in internet marketing on which you can further build and refine your knowledge. And don't be afraid to ask questions in the forums – that's what they are there for!

The hometown hero at home: Dawson Mercer is in Bay Roberts
Robin Short (robin.short@thetelegram.com)
Dawson Mercer (20) is shown playing for Canada against Finland in an exhibition game prior to the 2020 world junior hockey championship in Ostrava Czech Republic. After trying out and playing for Team Canada at the world juniors, a visit to his hometown of Bay Roberts this week and playing in next week's NHL/CHL Prospects game, it will be nearly six weeks between Mercer's last QMJHL game and his next one. And when he does so, it will be with a new team. — Hockey Canada Images
World junior champion taking a break before resuming his highlight season
Akil Thomas scored one of the biggest goals for Canada in world junior hockey history, Barrett Hayton provided Mark Messier-like leadership and Joel Hofer put on a display of championship netminding.
And in his own little way, Dawson Mercer also helped contribute to Canada's 18th gold-medal championship performance Sunday in the Czech Republic.
Bay Roberts' favourite son didn't see a lot of icetime in the final game last weekend against the Russians — in fact, he was Canada's 13th forward through much of the tournament — but the gold hanging from Mercer's neck more than makes up for any perceived disappointment that may have come with not playing a lot at the 2020 world juniors.
"To be honest," Mercer said the other day from Conception Bay North, where he was home for a short break before reporting to his new junior team, the Chicoutimi Sagueneens, "going into that (Canadian team selection) camp, I made sure I'd do anything to make that team.
"I know that in these types of tournaments, a lot of players have different roles than what we normally play with our club teams.
"And being one of the younger players," said Mercer, who just turned 18 in October, "I wanted to make sure the coaches knew that I'd accept any role that was given to me.
"You've got to have that attitude. When you're not getting a lot of ice, you have to remember you're playing for Canada, and these are the best hockey players in the entire country.
"Throughout the whole tournament, I wanted to make sure my attitude was really positive, that I was vocal and encouraging on the bench, giving the boys taps on the back or whatever … that I was doing whatever it took to help us to win that championship."
Win they did, with a 4-3 come-from-behind decision over Russia for our third gold medal in the past six years.
Mercer might have been a bit of a surprise selection to the Canadian roster, but his stock had really started rising with solid play in the 2019 CIBC Canada-Russia series, a six-game series between all-star teams from the Quebec Major Junior, Ontario and Western hockey leagues and a visiting Russian junior squad.
He was also amongst the QMJHL's top scorers at the time of his selection.
Mercer now steps into the Newfoundland and Labrador hockey history book as only the third player from this province to win a world junior gold medal, joining Dwayne Norris and John Slaney.
He's still riding the high, the man of the hour every hour in Bay Roberts. That special moment back in the Czech Republic seems, in some ways, like it happened yesterday. And, in another strange sort of way, like a year ago.
"But," Mercer said, "that feeling is never going to die off, I don't say. I'll always remember that moment of what we accomplished over there.
"To represent your country, to travel all the way over to Europe and then obviously winning the gold medal, that's all a dream come true, really.
"The pride you felt wearing a Canadian hockey jersey, and standing on that blueline with a gold medal around your neck and singing 'O Canada!', and the flag going up … that's a pretty special moment that I'm going to cherish for a long, long while."
But there will be no rest for the weary.
Well maybe a little. After two-and-a-half years with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Drummondville Voltigeurs, Mercer is now a member of the Sagueneens following a trade that was made official earlier this week after the world juniors. The Sags are in the Maritimes this weekend for games against Halifax, Charlottetown and Acadie-Bathurst, but Mercer won't be reporting to Chicoutimi until next week.
The Sagueneens are loading up for a run at the President's Cup league championship, as shown by the deal for Mercer, which saw them send five draft picks — two first-rounders, two second-rounders, and a fourth-round selection — along with young forward William Dufour to the Voltigeurs.
So after reaching the third round of the playoffs last spring with the Volts, and just missing out on a berth in the QMJHL final against eventual champion Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, Mercer figures to get a second crack at a league title this season.
"I'm really happy to be going to Chicoutimi because they really wanted me within their group," he said, "so I know they have trust in me. I'm excited with the journey we're about to start."
For now, he's enjoying his well-deserved break.
He took a run on the ski-doo the other day, and is cleaning up the Mercer family driveway when he's not watching his sister, Jessica, play hockey. He's made a school visit and was set to drop the puck for a ceremonial faceoff before Friday night's St. John's Junior Hockey League game in Bay Roberts.
On Sunday, he'll get to see his brother, Riley, and father, Craig, when they arrive home from Halifax where they are part of the Tri Pen Osprey midget entry at the East Coast IceJam minor hockey tournament.
And then it will be back to the grind.
"And I can't wait," he said. "Hopefully the (world junior) gold is just the start of good things to come."

Leading Asian News – Politics, Business & Economy
-Top News/COVID-19/UK News
UK's million jab mission won't prevent case surge
Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently launched the "Omicron Emergency Booster National Mission" to encourage everyone eligible to "get boosted now"…reports Asian Lite News.
The UK government's decision to ramp up Covid-19 vaccination in response to the new Omicron variant will take time to bring any benefit and may not prevent a surge in cases over the next few weeks, experts have said.
"Given the very high transmissibility of the Omicron variant and its ability to, at least partially, evade immunity, it should be clear that a rapid response is needed. Instead, we have a policy based almost entirely on increasing vaccination rates that will take weeks to bring any benefit," Martin McKee, professor of European public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told Xinhua news agency.
"This is an inevitable consequence of the disagreements within the ruling Conservative Party. It is a political rather than a scientific decision," the expert said.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently launched the "Omicron Emergency Booster National Mission" to encourage everyone eligible to "get boosted now".
Everyone aged 18 and over in England will have the chance to get their booster vaccine before the end of the year to combat the threat of rising Omicron variant cases.
The Prime Minister has also announced that England will move to "Plan B" amid the rapid spread of Omicron, including a requirement for millions of people to work from home and mandatory face-mask wearing in a wider range of locations.
"The UK government has placed enormous emphasis on vaccines as the means of preventing the need to re-impose COVID restrictions. There was always a risk that a surge in cases could undermine that strategy," social policy expert Dr Stuart Wilks-Heeg from the University of Liverpool told Xinhua news agency.
"The sudden emergence of the highly transmissible Omicron variant in the run-up to Christmas has made new restrictions inevitable. Yet, the government's emphasis remains on vaccinations.
"Even with new rules on mask-wearing in public places and Covid passports for large events, it is a race that the UK's National Health Service is likely to lose," he added.
"My view is that the government, under pressure from the medical and scientific advisers, is erring on the side of caution while awaiting more extensive information on the risk from the Omicron variant," said Professor Iain Begg, an expert in politics at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
On Wednesday, Britian reported 78,610 new cases, the highest daily infections since the start of the pandemic in early 2020, according to the UK Health Security Agency.
Another 4,671 Omicron cases have been confirmed in Britain on the same day, the biggest daily increase since the variant first detected in the country, taking total tally to 10,017.
As of Thursday, the UK's overall Covid caseload has increased to 11,073,455, while the death toll stood at 147,249.

The latest data came as England's Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty warned that there will continue to be record numbers of Covid cases over the next few weeks.
Speaking at a Downing Street news conference, Whitty suggested the country is experiencing "two epidemics on top of one another", one driven by the "very rapidly-growing" Omicron variant and the other by the Delta.
"I am afraid we have to be realistic that records will be broken a lot over the next few weeks as the rates continue to go up," he said.

If at any point during the year you have any further questions or if you would just like to see what work your child has been doing please feel free to pop in.
If you were unable to attend the Year 1 welcome meeting, then please see the presentation above for details.
There is a copy of the Year 1 common exception words and the handwriting guidance available for you in your child's classroom.
Toy day is every Tuesday and Thursday. Children can bring a toy from home to play with during morning and afternoon break. Toys must be able to fit into their drawers and must not be electronic. We have a toy box in each classroom where children can also put their toys.


Email signatures are powerful, low-cost, high-return marketing tools for a non-profits organization like ours. What's interesting is how seldom people think about utilizing the power of email signatures. Consider this: If Margaret's has a total of 30 employees, each of whom sends 15 emails daily outside the organization, then (assuming 250 business days) that's 112,500 business cards or ads distributed annually, at no extra cost. So What Is an Email Signature?


In Manila for work or vacation? Why not bring over a few bags of food, a small donation for medicine, clothes or anything that will help the amazing kids at I Love Street Children. Here's a quick recount of my last visit, and how you can help make a difference in a needy child's life.
I Love Street Children is a shelter (more shelters to come!) in Makati, Manila founded by Just Projects founder, Bryan Thomas, May Gomez, and Eiselle Pascua (EJ). The I Love Street Children shelter supports families by giving mothers and their children a safe place to stay, off the streets. Some of these children are attending school for the first time in their lives, and the mothers have more flexibility to work and earn knowing their children are in a safe environment.
Let's start this blog by telling you what you can do to help, and how to do it.
To give directly, contact the people working via the ILST Facebook pages I Love Street Children or I Love Street Children Campaign. Tell them how you want to help (making sure this is, in fact, the kind of help they need now) and just take a taxi over to the Cash and Carry Mall (click, or see below). They will meet you there and show you the way to the shelter…and help you carry the groceries as well, if that's what you help with.
1. Share this blog post (How self-serving is that, eh!). Share the ILST Facebook pages. Like their posts. And generally help them engage and build their presence so more people find out about this shelter and others they are now working to build.
2. Send a donation. All of the banking information is below. Personally, I did both. I brought over a bunch of food, and also made a small donation.
And here are some details written by Bryan Thomas that I borrowed from the ILST page.
2. Write a check to: Just Projects Philippine Foundation Inc. (underneath that or next to it: For ILSC). Deliver it to May or EJ at the Shelter Home at 3380-D Ibarra Street, Palanan, Makati (2 blocks from Cash & Carry), or contact them via one of the ILSC Facebook pages to set up a time to deliver the check.
Here is a short video of my visit and the kids. When my students in Japan complain about their lives…I just show them this video. Families who have faced incredible hardship, but who have never given up and still laugh and smile. It's both humbling and inspiring.
Before posting pics from my own visit, here is a link to some more professional photos on Flickr taken by a new addition to the ILSC volunteer group, Nick Conneff. Thanks, Nick!
On that note and without further ado, here are a few pics of my visit to the I Love Street Children shelter in Makati, Manila, Philippines.
She helped carry that 10Kg bag of rice. Strong arms!!
Awesome Mike! I can confirm myself after visiting the shelter to offer some help (following your lead), the kids are amazing, there is a real family atmosphere here & ILSC are making a real difference – really changing lives.
Go visit! The kids will welcome you with open arms (quite literally) & go crazy for you – You'll have a LOT of fun!
Thanks for posting, buddy. Yeah, I was really glad to see you get so involved. I am really grateful that Jhoma got me involved. I hope to help in any way I can. I'll try to get over there in March to at least say hello and bring over some things the kids need. And thanks for the link to your photos. I'm going to edit them into the post now. Cheers!
we would like to correct the address its 3380-D Ibarra Palanan Makati.


NFEC-50 Finish with Alex B.
Dang, where did the year go? I seems like just yesterday that I was mapping out my 2012 race schedule, and here I am planning another one.
As runners we are forced into this yearly ritual of planning our race schedule far in advance. Deciding to do a race 8 months out might not sound like much, but often what you commit to equals months of training, long hours of running, and turning down fun things because you have a big run the next day.
I rarely plan what I'm eating for lunch, let alone an entire year's worth of something, but with races filling faster than ever and training becoming more targeted than ever, planning ahead has become a must for many of us.
Finding a good balance of spontaneity, thoughtfulness, and intrigue is key for planning a successful year of running.
Planning for my 2013 race schedule has proven a bit complicated. What has thrown off any normal plan is that the I would consider my 'A' race is in February. That is really early to be running your A race.
Secondly, I'm getting married in September. The last thing I want to do (or the future Mrs. RCR wants me to do) right before my wedding will be run a big race, and I know that training will be cut back significantly during the months before and after the big day. That means that any major races in August – October are probably out.
I was selected through a lottery to run this year's 40 mile Mt. Mitchell Challenge in February. If you aren't familiar with the race, it starts in Black Mountain, North Carolina and runs to the top of Mt. Mitchell (the highest point on the east coast) and back. 20 miles up, 20 miles back, in February. It is going to be brutal.
I will also be putting my name in the hat for the Bull Run 50 this year. In addition to that, I'm hoping to run another 50k at some point, and plan to toe the line of a few local half marathons and 10 milers throughout the year.
If all goes as planned, I will be diving into something new this year.
I hope to take on a few big fastpacking trips and treat them more like races than weekend outings. I'll train for them just as I would a real race, and hopefully they will fit in perfectly with the rest of my schedule.
What is fastpacking? Basically backpacking a lot faster. Instead of hiking 10-15 miles a day on a backpacking trip, I'll strip down to the basics, carry a much smaller pack, and aim for 20-30 miles a day.
A few target trips I have in mind for this year would be 40-50 miles over 2 days in Shenandoah National Park (SNP) in March, and a possible trip alone the full length of SNP's 101 mile section of the Appalachian Trail over 3-4 days.
This will be something totally new for me, and I'll be sure to share my experiences as they come.
Start with your 'A' race, the race that is most important to you. Plan around that date, using shorter distance races as training tools leading up to it, and taking advantage of the targeted training you just finished for races following it.
Think outside the box and find races you might not typically run. Are you new to trail running? Find a local trail race. Thinking of trying out your first triathlon or duathlon? Find an empty gap in your schedule and see if there is a local race to add to your schedule. Mixing things up will keep you interested.
Have a backup plan so you aren't totally bummed if you can't get into a race you were planning to run. It happens.
Don't over-schedule yourself. It's a lot better to realize you don't have any races coming up and jump into a local 10k than it is to have too many marathons on your calendar and get burnt out.
Thinking ahead can be a lot of fun and very exciting. Have you been planning your race schedule for 2013 yet? What big races do you have coming up?

Polyester Textured Yarn From India: Amended Preliminary Determination of Countervailing Duty Determination
A Notice by the International Trade Administration on 06/12/2019
Applicable June 12, 2019.
Agency/Docket Number:
C-533-886
Period of Investigation
Scope of Investigation
Analysis of Significant Ministerial Error Allegations
Amended Preliminary Determination
Amended Cash Deposits and Suspension of Liquidation
International Trade Commission Notification
Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation
Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is amending the preliminary determination in the countervailing duty investigation of polyester textured yarn from India to correct a significant ministerial error.
Janae Martin or Jesus Saenz, AD/CVD Start Printed Page 27241Operations, Office VIII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0238 or (202) 482-8184, respectively.
On May 3, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Determination,[1] and completed the disclosure of all calculation materials to interested parties. From May 6 through May 13, 2019, the petitioners,[2] JBF Industries Limited (JBF), and Sanathan Textile Private Limited, India (Sanathan) timely filed ministerial error allegations regarding the Preliminary Determination.[3]
The period of investigation (POI) is April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.
The product covered by this investigation is polyester textured yarn from India. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see the Appendix to this notice.
Commerce will analyze any comments received and, if appropriate, correct any significant ministerial error by amending the preliminary determination according to 19 CFR 351.224(e). A ministerial error is defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as "an error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers ministerial." [4] A significant ministerial error is defined as a ministerial error, the correction of which, singly or in combination with other errors, would result in: (1) A change of at least five absolute percentage points in, but not less than 25 percent of, the countervailing duty rate calculated in the original preliminary determination; or (2) a difference between a countervailing duty rate of zero (or de minimis) and a countervailing duty rate greater than de minimis, or vice versa.[5]
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (g)(1), Commerce is amending the Preliminary Determination to reflect the correction of a ministerial error made in the calculation of the estimated weighted-average all-others countervailable subsidy rate. This error is a significant ministerial error within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(g) because the all-other's rate decreases from 13.82 percent to 7.24 percent as a result of correcting this ministerial error, exceeding the specified threshold, i.e., a change of at least five absolute percentage points in, but not less than 25 percent of, the countervailable subsidy rate calculated in the original Preliminary Determination.[6]
The collection of cash deposits and suspension of liquidation will be revised according to the rates calculated in this amended preliminary determination. Because these amended rates result in decreased cash deposits, the amended rate for the all-others rate will be effective retroactively to May 3, 2019, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination. Parties will be notified of this determination, in accordance with section 733(d) and (f) of the Act.
Exporter/producer
Weighted-average margin
All-Others 7.24
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this proceeding within five days after publication of the notice of amended preliminary determination in the Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, we notified the International Trade Commission of our amended preliminary determination.
This amended preliminary determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
Dated: June 6, 2019.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

When I dare to be different, to follow my calling no matter the whispers, no matter the stares, then I break through the boundaries that others have placed about me and I feel my true self. And within that self, I find the strength and the power that is the true me. My light shines brighter, not dimmed by the darkness of others.
And when I make myself of use, in the service of others, whatever that may be, it is the service that matters most, not my fear of my powerful and engaging being – nor the fear that I am in some way lacking.
As you discover your beautiful self, layer by layer, peeling away old, useless parts of you that used to be, you will unveil, unfold like a spring blossom into something of magnificence in your best, most fearless, moments. And when those moments occur, do not let yourself recoil in self-judgment but rather embrace this new you, exposing little by little, layer by layer, your true calling.

Federal Member secures extra $1m for Moree Plains Shire
Federal Member secures extra $1m…
FeaturedMedia Releases
Photo Caption: Moree Plains Shire Council Mayor Katrina Humphries and Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, pictured in Moree recently – an additional $1 million in funds under the Drought Communities Programme (DCP) – Extension will allow Moree Plains Shire Council to get a range of local infrastructure projects underway.
Upgrades to a sporting precinct and community halls in the Moree Plains Shire are among the local projects to be funded with another $1 million investment under the Federal Government's Drought Communities Programme (DCP) – Extension.
Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said he was thrilled the additional funds would allow Moree Plains Shire Council to get cracking on a range of important projects across the Shire.
The news follows Mr Coulton's recent announcement that Council would receive a grant of $515,468 to develop a business incubator and co-working space under the Murray-Darling Basin Economic Development Program.
"The Coalition Government committed to delivering an additional $1 million to every council in my electorate, including Moree Plains, under the DCP – Extension, to stimulate community spending and support jobs," Mr Coulton said.
"These grants are providing a vital cash injection at a time when drought has had a major impact on community morale and the local economy right across my electorate.
"We're also dealing with the many challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we're working to ensure our communities are supported through the difficult times.
"I'm very pleased that Moree Plains Shire Council can now invest in these exciting projects, including upgrades to local community halls, constructing new shared pathways and providing additional lighting at Moree's Ron Harborne sporting precinct.
"I know that these community-based enhancements will make a positive difference right across the Shire."
The projects are focused on creating accessible, functional and high-quality community facilities and comprise of:
• Roof upgrades at Mungindi Hall;
• Upgrades at Pallamallawa War Memorial Hall including construction of new ramps, concrete pathways and toilet facilities, and installation of a new aerated wastewater treatment system;
• Replacement of toilet facilities at Weemelah Hall with a new accessible toilet facility and baby change room, and construction of a pathway between toilet block and hall;
• Upgrades to Moree War Memorial Hall mezzanine seating area, including removal of existing non-compliant seating and tiered structure, construction of a new tiered base and stairway, and installation of carpet and new theatre-style seating;
• Construction of a new shared pathway linking south Moree with local retail precincts along Amaroo Drive and Boston Street, Moree;
• Installation of new lighting poles at the netball courts and hockey fields at the Ron Harborne sporting precinct; and
• Development of an Adverse Events Plan.
Moree Plains Shire Council Mayor Katrina Humphries said she was overjoyed to learn of Council's successful funding application.
"I am so pleased that this funding is going to inject some much-needed love into some of our community halls, with the rejuvenation of halls across the Shire in Moree, Mungindi, Pallamallawa and Weemelah being an initial priority," Cr Humphries said.
"Community halls are the social hubs of small rural communities where celebrations, events, meetings and even playgroups are held; it is important that these facilities are upgraded to be accessible and functional.
"We have also earmarked funds to continue to build on the connectivity of Moree's shared pathways, directing foot traffic towards retail areas within Moree.
"With the Ron Harborne sporting precinct being a much loved sportsground used by soccer, cricket and netball teams all year round, additional lighting will mean these teams can continue training throughout winter and also invite teams from surrounding areas to play matches at twilight and night during summer seasons."
Cr Humphries said that where possible, local contractors would be used to deliver works to further simulate the local economy.
The DCP – Extension is targeted at projects that stimulate community spending by using local resources, businesses, suppliers and workers, or provide long-lasting benefits for communities and agricultural industries.
For more information, visit www.business.gov.au/Grants-and-Programs/Drought-Communities-Programme-Extension
• To date, $2 million in DCP – Extension funding has been made available to Moree Plains Shire Council for local projects.
• DCP – Extension funding is intended to provide short-term support, including by boosting local employment and procurement, and addressing social and community needs.
• DCP – Extension funding is available to eligible councils for local infrastructure projects and other drought-relief activities. All 18 councils in the Parkes electorate, as well as the Unincorporated Far West NSW region, are eligible under the program.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray cookie sheet with no stick cooking spray or oil lightly. Combine oats, flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, lemon peel and baking soda; mix well.Cut in margarine until crumbly. Add buttermilk. Mix just until moistened. Knead on floured surface 10 minutes. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Form into 8-inch circle.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Top with yogurt, raspberry jam and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.


The Mother speaks: "When you make dough, you have to knead and work it a lot. Fine wheaten bread is set before lords, but coarser bread is set before commoners, and an even worse kind of bread is given to dogs.
The Mother's words to the daughter about how there are devils to make people fall, others to slow down their progress, and still others to tempt them in fasting, and about the way to oppose these devils.
The Mother's words to the daughter about how the precious and beautiful things of the world do not harm God's servants, even though they make use of them, so long as they use them in God's honor, and she points to the example of Paul.
"It is written that Paul, that good apostle, said that he was a wise man in the presence of the prince who had arrested Peter, and he called Peter a truly poor man. Paul did not sin in this, because his words were for the honor of God.
The Mother's words to the daughter showing her, by means of a comparison, that God's preachers and friends will not receive a lesser reward in God's sight if people are not converted by the preaching they have done with an upright intention than they would if the people do convert.
God's Mother speaks: "Someone hires a worker for a job and tells him: 'Carry sand from the shore and examine each load to see if you can find a grain of gold there.' His wages will not be less if he finds nothing than if he uncovers a great amount.
The Mother's words to the daughter about her infinite mercy toward sinners and toward those who praise and honor her.
The Mother speaks: "You have an expression that says, 'That sort of thing could make me leave my homeland.' I tell you so now: Nobody in the world is so great a sinner - provided he says in his heart that my Son is the Creator and Redeemer of the universe and dear to him in his inmost heart - that I am not prepared to come to him immediately, like a loving mother to her son, and hug him and say: 'What would you like, my son?' Even if he had deserved the lowest punishment in hell, nevertheless, if only he has the intention of not caring for worldly honors or greed or carnal lust, such as the church condemns, and desires nothing but his own sustenance, then he and I will right away get along quite well together.
This man had temptations concerning the Holy Trinity. In an ecstasy he saw what looked like the faces of three women. The first said: "I have attended many weddings, but I have never seen one to be three." The second answered: "If there are three and one, it is necessary that one of them must be prior and another posterior, or else two in one." And the third added: "They cannot have created themselves, so who made them?" Then the Holy Spirit said openly: "We will come to him and make our abode in him." And when he awoke, he was free of the temptation.
After this, Christ said to Lady Bridget: "I am one and three. I want to show you what the Father's power is, what the Son's wisdom is, what the Holy Spirit's might is, in order to make known that I, God, am three and one: Father and Son and Holy Spirit." This revelation is complete once it is preached from the pulpit.
The bride's notable words about the city of Rome. They take the form of an inquiry, pointing to the Romans' earlier consolation, devotion, and good order, among both clerics and lay people, and asking why all this has now sadly been turned into desolation and disorder and abomination, as is clear from all the aforesaid, and about how unhappy Rome is both materially and spiritually.

Red Wings' losing streak ends with win over Knights
Ville Husso made 33 saves for his first victory in six career starts against Vegas and the Detroit Red Wings snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Golden Knights on Thursday night in Las Vegas.
It was the 15th victory of the season for Husso, who was pulled after two periods Monday against Colorado, having allowed five goals on 22 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.
On Thursday, Lucas Raymond, Dominik Kubalik and Joe Veleno scored goals for Detroit, which closed to within five points of the Pittsburgh Penguins for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Alex Pietrangelo and William Karlsson scored goals and Reilly Smith had two assists for Vegas, which has lost three games in a row for the first time this season. Adin Hill stopped 22 of 25 shots as the Golden Knights dropped to just 13-13-0 at T-Mobile Arena this season.
Raymond gave Detroit a 1-0 lead at the 2:45 mark of the first period with his 14th goal of the season. Dylan Larkin set up the score when he stole the puck away from Nicolas Roy, drove down the left wing and slid a pass across to Raymond, who tipped it into the net. It marked the fifth straight game and ninth in the last 10 games that the Golden Knights fell behind 1-0.
Pietrangelo tied it with 37 seconds to go in the period with a one-timer from the top of the left circle that dipped under Husso's glove. It was Pietrangelo's fifth goal of the season and the first goal by a Vegas defenseman in eight games dating back to a 5-4 overtime win over Nashville on New Year's Eve.
The Red Wings regained the lead early in the second period when Kubalik one-timed Oskar Sundqvist's crossing pass through Hill's pads. It was Kubalik's 14th goal of the season.
Veleno made it 3-1 midway through the period when he broke down the right wing and fired a wrist shot past Hill's stick side and off the far post and in for his sixth goal of the season.
Vegas pulled Hill for an extra attacker with 2:15 remaining, and Karlsson made it 3-2 with 43 seconds left when Jack Eichel's pass into the slot caromed off his skate. It was Karlsson's 10th goal of the season.

Q: Need to automate the import functionality in Dynamics CRM 2011 We need to import data in Dynamics CRM 2011.We don't want to import it manually through import option present in CRM.Instead we need to  automate it and the data should be imported every week as per scheduled timely manner.
Let us know what all options are available in Dynamics CRM 2011 for automatic upload data option.Please provide some good URL's if available so that it can help us to understand better.
Thanks,
SR

A: This is a pretty broad question regarding architecting a data ingestion/consumption process.  I have done this in a number of ways in the past:
1) SSIS jobs that consume files, extract out the relevant data, then use script components to insert records/update records in CRM.  As I understand it, SSIS now has a connector that will do the inserts/updates without having to write custom code to do it.
2) Scribe is a very common 3rd party tool used to do data migrations in Microsoft Dynamics.  You can use it to set up schedules, monitor import/sync jobs as well as a variety of other nice features.
Without having more details on what your data import looks like, I can't really say the best method, these are some that I have used successfully in the past.

A: If you do not wish to use third party tools I would propose doing it by extending Dynamics CRM or by developing a windows app or service which will interact with it.

*

*Extending CRM: Depending on the file types you have (from your question i would assume xml, csv or text as you do direct CRM data import) you can create a custom made workflow and/or a plugin registered on a custom entity, which would periodically (eg. once a week) read all files from a local or a network shared folder, process them and create/update data as per desired logic. You coul

*Using external app: You could also accomplish this with a windows service, or a scheduled windows task executing a console app which will do the import logic. This would be good if you need to import different types of files than above mentioned in point 1, like Excel files.

If the recommendation of the Chief of Police is to deny the license, or if Borough Council is satisfied that there are reasons which would justify the denial of the issuance of the license separate and apart from the recommendation of the Chief of Police, or the revocation of an existing license, the applicant shall be granted a hearing before Borough Council prior to final determination. The applicant shall receive notification of the date and time for such hearing which shall be scheduled within 60 days from the denial date or notice of revocation, and such hearing shall be commenced and concluded within the immediately succeeding 30 days.

The limits of said insurance shall be not less than $300,000 per occurrence. The insurance policy, or an accompanying document, shall obligate the liability insurer to notify the Borough Clerk and Business Administrator of the Borough of Red Bank if any change occurs in the policy or if the policy is terminated or canceled for any reason. In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 48:16-24, each owner-operator shall execute and deliver to the Borough Clerk concurrently with the filing of the policy referred to above, a power of attorney wherein and whereby the said owner-operator shall nominate, constitute and appoint the Borough Clerk as the owner-operator's true and lawful attorney for the purpose of acknowledging service of any process out of a court of competent jurisdiction to be served against the insured by virtue of the indemnity granted under the insurance policy filed.

The licensing clerk or the Chief of Police or their designee shall take official cognizance of any and all misconduct, deceit, fraud, subterfuge or actions of any jitney licensee which are against the best interest of the public or the jitney industry itself, regardless of whether or not such actions are specifically covered in this chapter. It shall also be the direct responsibility of all departments to bring such actions to the attention of the Borough Clerk.
It shall be unlawful for the holder of any license issued under this section to transfer the license to any person.
It shall be unlawful for any person making application for any license or identification card to willfully make any false statement as to any of the matters required to be stated in such application. False statements are grounds to deny or revoke a license.
It shall be unlawful to drive or operate any jitney while that jitney is carrying more than 13 passengers or more than 20 passengers, as applicable, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 48:16-23. Each passenger must be seated while the jitney is in motion. Passengers must be treated with courtesy and respect; repeated complaints against owner-operators will be grounds for disciplinary action initiated by the Red Bank Police Department.

Home National Teams Usman Takes World Cup Shut-out In Good Fate
Usman Takes World Cup Shut-out In Good Fate
Norway-based midfield dazzler, Usman Mohammed is taking the verdict by FIFA that he cannot be included in Nigeria's squad to this year's World Cup in good fate, as he says he will wait for his time to come.
Usman, who was part of Nigeria's bronze-winning team to Rio 2016 Olympics, said he felt the chance of a late call-up to the Super Eagles, after his stunning solo goal against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday in Uyo, but admitted his moment came just too late.
The ex-FC Taraba of Jalingo captain went on as a sub to score a goal that revived memory of one scored by former Eagles' captain, Austin Okocha in Germany.
However, now that FIFA have ruled him out of Russia 2018, Usman said he will continue to improve at club level to ensure he is considered for the national team in the future.
"First of all, I want to thank God for everything; the fans who cheered us and gave us a lot of strength and motivation to carry on.
"For the goal, it is a dream come true for me and I'm so happy about it. I was confident with my abilities with the ball.
"I created the chance because I started the move from the midfield so I was calm in the 18-yard box and I took my time to score the goal.
"I will wait for my time; it has always been my dream to play for the Super Eagles and I have been waiting for the opportunity since the Olympics in Brazil. But I believe there is a reason for everything," Usman concluded.

I work as a freelance outdoor instructor and expedition leader.
How did you get into the outdoors?
I first started rock climbing with my uncle when I was 15. Along with his help and an inspiring secondary school teacher, Andrew Bowyer, I pursued a GCSE in outdoor pursuits and from then onwards I was hooked.
Have you always been active/sporty?
Not in the traditional sense apart from some rugby from time to time, but outdoors wise I love to run, climb, mountain bike and snowboard.
What do you love most about working in the outdoors?
Working in the outdoors for me provides variety, every day is different. Weather that be working with local school groups taking their first steps in DofE or leading overseas expeditions. I love fuelling people's passion for the outdoors.
When and why did you decide to become an International Mountain Leader?
I kind of fell into the qualification alongside completing my Winter Mountain Leader and working towards my Mountaineering Instructor Award due to the amount of overseas work I was doing at the time. As for why, I suppose it was more like 'why not?' for me.
For me the best part of the scheme was broadening my skill set and meeting my fellow aspirants and the most challenging aspect of the scheme was managing European languages to the standard required.
What advice would you give to anyone thinking about becoming an International Mountain Leader?
Don't stress. Take your time and consolidate well. Make your specialist chats about your potential weakest subject topic so you have to build the knowledge in that area.
If you had a day to go for a walk anywhere, where would it be?
At the moment I'm super keen to get to Iceland for a look around.
I'm currently juggling my calendar for the forthcoming year trying to fit in expeditions to Patagonia, Nepal, China, Mt Elbrus and Kilimanjaro and maybe a sneaky Mt Kenya as I've not had chance to go there yet!

Q: How to close the current tab of the browser in protractor with out closing the complete browser In the application i have two options "Google , Twitter" . When i click on any option it will open in new tab.
In my test case , i would like to click on google or twitter option and close the google or twitter tab and return back to the my application.
Is there any way to close only newly opened tab.
I tried below solutions.
browser.close(); is closing the entire browser.
Can any one help me how to close only tab of the browser ( in my case google tab or twitter tab) with out closing the entire browser in protractor

A: You can try the following:
Switch to the new opened tab. Close the current windows (in this case, the new tab). Switch back to the first window.
browser.getAllWindowHandles().then((handles) => {
    browser.driver.switchTo().window(handles[1]);
    browser.driver.close();
    browser.driver.switchTo().window(handles[0]);
});

A: This is how I used it in one project.
    const allWindowHandlers = await browser.getAllWindowHandles();

        if (allWindowHandlers.length > 1) {
          for (let windowHandlerIndex = 1; windowHandlerIndex < allWindowHandlers.length; windowHandlerIndex++) {
            const windowHandler = allWindowHandlers[windowHandlerIndex];
            await browser.switchTo().window(windowHandler);
            await browser.close();
          }
        }

    await browser.switchTo().window(allWindowHandlers[0]);

You can use it inside your steps implementation.
You can use it before starting a new scenario, to be sure that only the first window is selected and everything else is closed.

A: I did and this and it works for me :
  browser.getAllWindowHandles().then(function(handles) {
  let newWindowHandle = handles[1]; // this is your new window
  browser.switchTo().window(newWindowHandle).then(function() {
    browser.close();
    browser.switchTo().window(handles[0]);
  });
});

Diversity & Community Affairs
The Office of the Vice President for Diversity & Community Affairs (ODCA) continued its efforts to address, enhance and invigorate Teachers College's engagement in fostering a climate of diversity, equity, nondiscrimination, community and civility, and in addressing gender-based misconduct. Led by Vice President Janice S. Robinson, the Office supports all constituencies and addresses their concerns. ODCA leads the charge of supporting the College's Diversity Mission, building community by sponsoring, supporting and collaborating on over 100 programs, events, initiatives, grant-sponsored programs and student-led activities. Among ODCA's signature initiatives and programs during the past year:
In collaboration with Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, the Racial Literacy Roundtables engaged the community around discussions of gender, identity and race in three sessions.
The Constitution Day program, "Fight for Civil Rights: Black Lives Matter and Voting Rights," addressed issues facing universities nationally.
At the panel "Advancing Religious Literacies: Exploring Islam through the Cultural Studies Method," scholars enhanced understanding of Islam and Muslims in the United States.
Collaboration with the Provost's Diversity Doctoral Education Initiative Working Group on several initiatives encouraged master's degree students to consider doctoral study, supported TC master's students of color who entered the College's doctoral programs and supported the retention and timely academic progress of TC doctoral students.
TC LGBTQ Scholars Max Carney (left) and Jason Wang (Photos courtesy of Max Carney and Jason Wang)
ODCA and the Provost's LGBTQ Working Group developed a new internship for the College's LGBTQ Scholar. The internship adds to ODCA's ongoing support of the LGBTQ student community. The Office also worked proactively to address concerns of LGBTQ faculty and staff at TC, executing a new expanded Safe Zones Training for faculty and staff, and implementing training and programs to address transgender concerns.
[Also read: Personal statements by TC LGBTQ Scholars Max Carney and Jason Wang, thanking their supporting donors. Also learn more about the LGBTQ Scholarship.]
ODCA worked with TC's Student Senate to enhance educational programming; worked with concerned students to support Students for Quality Education (SQE); and mentored the leadership of SQE on important diversity initiatives with academic Department Chairs and faculty.
The Office continued to collaborate with International Services, International Affairs and Student Development to more thoughtfully integrate the increased enrollment of international students into the TC Community.
Professor Ellie Drago-Severson and alumni Jessica Blum-DeStefano (who is also a TC adjunct professor) and Bernard Gassaway delivered book talks.
ODCA sponsored the Harlem Adult Education Conference, a meeting for the College Access Consortium of New York, a Book Drive for Total Equity Now, and a performance and student concert with classical composer and conductor Marlon Daniel.
ODCA again leveraged the creativity and efforts of TC Community members through its Vice President's Grant for Diversity & Community Initiatives and Student Research in Diversity. Reflecting the belief that everyone has something to contribute to enhancing the TC community, the Office sponsored 12 outstanding initiatives and three research projects.
Celebrate More TC Gifts & Awards
Jason Wang, LGBTQ Diversity Scholar
First things first, I would not even have been able to come to Teachers College to pursue my education had it not been for this scholarship. I remember receiving the acceptance letter from TC and immediately after the sense of elation was the sense of dread that I would not only have to turn it down, but I might have to do so because of my family's and my own socioeconomic situation. My parents uprooted themselves from their family, their friends, their support systems and their relatively comfortable lives in Taiwan to allow me to pursue a better life in this country. They came here on a wish and a hope, and fast forward 20 something years, here I am at TC, studying to be a mental health counselor, doing research on minority stress, body objectification, campus climate and, interestingly enough, dating apps.
So yes, I worked very hard, I achieved, I participated in school, and I did research, but sometimes none of that matters when you simply don't have the funding and support from someone else to do what you want to do.
Ultimately it's because of your scholarship, and the underlying belief that I was worth investing in, that I had potential, that I was deserving of some support – which I constantly question; did they make a mistake, was this all a dream? – that I can pursue my dream to get my doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I plan on pursuing research and practice with the focus of providing for sexual/racial ethnic/cultural minority people who are disenfranchised and under-served members of the population.
This was once merely a dream, something that I remember thinking while I was attending community college. Being able to live that dream… well, it's another dream in itself. It's hard, it's tiring, and sometimes I just feel like I want to sleep, but I wouldn't have it any other way right now.
Currently, I am the President of Queer TC, the LGBTQ student group on campus. I am the LGBTQ Fellow in the Vice President's Office for Diversity & Community Affairs. I have developed, planned and executed several events that touch on an unexpected intersection and bring light to communities and resources that many (teachers and students and staff alike) would have never considered (Gaming and Identity, gaming and video game creation as a source of community and acceptance and catharsis for marginalized people, and the potential impact of those created games on mainstream society). I currently am an intern, for my counseling fieldwork, at Kull Initiative for Psychotherapy, under the LGBTQ Division, hoping to bring affordable and culturally competent mental health care to those who are not as privileged.
Suffice it to say, this scholarship is what made all this possible. Truly. Because of that, I thank you, today and every day for being the one who believed in me, the concept of me, and the reality of me. I hope that I am doing this scholarship justice, and I hope that the doors that this scholarship has opened will help me pass on that lesson. We all deserve someone who believes in us.
Jason Wang is pursuing an M.A. in Counseling & Clinical Psychology.
Max Carney, LGBTQ Diversity Scholar
I'm a transgender man, a seeker, sometimes silly, mischievous and often quiet. I have worked both as a research assistant on Native-led community research initiatives concerning indigenous identity development and traditional knowledge, and as a psychotherapist within transgender and indigenous communities in Toronto, Canada. Recently I completed an M.Ed in Counseling Psychology at the University of Toronto, where I was fortunate to receive counseling training that incorporated indigenous philosophies. I am now delighted to be a student in Clinical Psychology at Teachers College.
My work as a counselor has informed my current research project, which addresses the social service needs of Two Spirit (LGBT, Indigenous) youth in New York City. Through a qualitative interview research design, I am examining the ways in which urban Two Spirit youth have experienced barriers to accessing services, as well as their particular needs for mental health support in New York City. Two Spirit clients have frequently told me that they've been subjected to homophobic treatment by counselors in indigenous mental health centers, and conversely, have been stigmatized based on race in mainstream LGBT organizations.
They have also reported being treated with inappropriate therapeutic modalities by mainstream counselors who knew little about aboriginal worldviews. Research focused on the specific service needs of Two Spirit youth is critical; all studies that currently exist in this area show immense gaps in appropriate mental health service provision for this population.
My research project is entirely made possible by the Diversity Scholarship founded by Kevin Jennings. As a graduate student from Canada, without access to any federal funding for my studies, this scholarship has afforded me the ability to attend Teachers College and to engage in this research work. Mr. Jennings, I am deeply grateful. Thank you.
