Erik Homes is building this Spec Residence in the Shingle Style. Framing is nearly complete. Can't wait to see the shingle go on!
Thank you Larry Hill and crew for building a classically correct gable end with returning eave. I invite everyone to go see Lot 42 at Cavalier Residences and see the great benefits of a little extra effort.
What makes a proper eave return?
As the moldings break around the corner, the cornice splits at the crown molding's fillet to create a separate raking cornice and horizontal cornice. The effect is a lighter and better horizontal eave member at the gable. In this case the return forms a pediment. The raking crown requires a custom trim profile that is proportionally based upon the horizontal crown.
Below you can see the builder's modern day return, also known as the poor man's return. Compare to the Classical Return to the Poor Man's Return. Note again the lighter feel of the classical return with the thinner horizontal as the crown splits into a raking cornice.
Thank you @ThisIsCarpentry for the great explanation on you website.

Nastassja Kinski Bio - Biography
Name Nastassja Kinski
Height 5' 6½
Naionality German
Date of Birth 24 January 1959,
Place of Birth Berlin, West Germany (now Germany)
Born in Berlin, Kinski is the daughter of the late German actor Klaus Kinski from his marriage to actress Ruth Brigitte Tocki. Her parents divorced in 1968. Kinski rarely saw her father after the age of 10. Kinski and her mother struggled financially[1]. Eventually they ended up living in a commune in Munich.
Kinski's foray into the spotlight began in her native Germany where she started out as a model. At the age of 13, the German New Wave actress Lisa Kreuzer placed her in the role of the dumb Mignon in Wim Wenders' film The Wrong Move. In her mid-teens she starred in the British Hammer Film Productions' horror film To the Devil a Daughter (1976). Kinski has gained a certain notoriety through her nude appearances in these films whilst still a minor. This is linked to another controversy as to the exact year of her birth, which was apparently reported to the American authorities as 1959, though German records show that she was actually born in 1961. She has since stated that as a child she felt exploited by the industry and told a journalist from W Magazine, "If I had had somebody to protect me or if I had felt more secure about myself, I would not have accepted certain things. Nudity things. And inside it was just tearing me apart". [2].
At 16, Kinski began a romantic relationship with director Roman Polanski, who was 28 years her senior. Polanski urged her to study acting with Lee Strasberg in the U.S.A. and went on to cast her in his film, Tess. Shortly after this on-screen success, legendary photographer Richard Avedon photographed Kinski with a serpent coiled around her naked body. The poster of this photo contributed to Kinski's renown as a popular icon. In 1982 Kinski appeared as "Leila" the 'circus girl' in the Francis Ford Coppola/Dean Tavoularis collaboration One from the Heart and also in the movie Cat People, both successful cinematic offerings. Kinski returned to Europe where she continued acting but the films she made through the remainder of the 1980s failed to find an audience. Although critics praised her performance in Paris, Texas, the film was not widely released. Kinski's other movies release that year - Unfaithfully Yours (1984) opposite Dudley Moore and The Hotel New Hampshire (1984) opposite Jodie Foster and Rob Lowe - did poorly at the box office.
Kinski's luck turned in the 1990s when she appeared in films such as Terminal Velocity opposite Charlie Sheen and Mike Figgis' critically acclaimed One Night Stand. She continues to enjoy a busy, successful career in film and television.
In the mid-1980s Kinski met Egyptian film maker Ibrahim Moussa. They married on September 10, 1984. Their son Aljosha was born on June 29, 1984 as their first child. Their daughter Sonja Leila, now a model, was born on March 2, 1986. The marriage was formally dissolved by divorce in 1992. From 1991 until 1997 Kinski lived with music impresario Quincy Jones. On February 9, 1993 their daughter Kenya Julia Miambi Sara was born.

The river redhorse (Moxostoma carinatum) is a species of freshwater fish endemic to the eastern half of the United States and southeastern Canada. They can range from 10 to 30 inches in length and can potentially reach a weight of more than 10 pounds after maturity. It is typically found in clear, large creeks and rivers, though it is sometimes also found in lakes. They are sometimes speared or caught with hook and line using crayfish or worms as bait.

A bottom-feeder, it feeds on mussels, snails, crustaceans and immature aquatic insects. Its common names include big-sawed sucker, river mullet, greater redhorse, redfin redhorse and redhorse sucker. It has the following characteristics:

Distribution
The river redhorse occurs throughout the central and eastern Mississippi River System and the Gulf Slope from Florida to Louisiana. In Canada, its distribution is characterized by disjunct populations in southern Ontario and Quebec as well as Alberta. This species has declined considerably over much of its range in the last 200 years. Populations still occur in the Grand, Trent, Thames, Mississippi, Gatineau and Richelieu rivers, and recent data suggest a wider distribution in the Ottawa River than previously documented. However, this fish appears to no longer exist in the Châteauguay and Yamaska watersheds and has declined dramatically in the St. Lawrence River.

Threats
Due to its narrow range of habitat preferences, spawning requirements and intolerance of high turbidity, siltation and pollution, the river redhorse is susceptible to a number of threats. Hydroelectric development and flood control dams cause habitat fragmentation and alter habitat conditions, resulting in restricted movements of individual fish and limited gene flow between populations. Also, changes in flow regime and siltation of spawning habitats may reduce recruitment. Agricultural and municipal activities that affect water quality (increased sediment load, excessive nutrients) also adversely impact this species. Because of its sensitivity, it is used as an indicator species to gauge stream health.

Similar Species
The river redhorse resembles all redhorse species especially the shorthead redhorse (M. macrolepidotum) and the Greater Redhorse (M. valenciennesi). The river redhorse can be distinguished, although with difficulty, from most other members of the genus by its heavy pharyngeal arch with molariform teeth. The river redhorse's pharyngeal teeth are enlarged and appear molar-like, which helps distinguish them from the greater redhorse. Additional features that may distinguish it from other redhorse sucker species include its coloration, specifically in the wild. The coloration can appear greenish or faintly brown along their dorsal side. Whereas along the ventral side, they will be white, and the lateral sides will predominantly appear to be yellow. There are also dark spots, that appear crescent-shaped, on the scales along the dorsal and lateral sides. The pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins all have an orange or red tint. The dorsal and caudal fins, however, will appear red entirely. plicate lips and caudal peduncle scale count.

Japan Will Make Its Last-Ever VCR This Month
BY Mental Floss UK
by Kirsten Howard
Most of us stopped using video cassette recorders a very, very long time ago. By 2008, DVD had officially replaced VHS as the preferred home media format, and the glory days of the 1980s—when VHS and Betamax battled it out to be the number-one choice for watching and recording movies and television at home—were very much in the rear-view mirror.
So it might surprise you to learn that VCRs are still being manufactured—at least they were until this month. Funai Electric, the last remaining Japanese company to make the units, has announced that the company will cease production on its VCR units, due to declining sales and difficulty acquiring parts.
Their VCRs are made in China and sold in many territories, including North America, under brand names like Sanyo, but last year's figures reported just 750,000 sales worldwide.
Despite flagging sales of VCRs, collector sales of VHS tapes are booming, with some rare editions fetching nearly $2000 a pop. Many collectors consider VHS to be the vinyl of analog video recording, and think the future could see them hoarded just as enthusiastically.
"These are movies that feel too cleaned-up on DVD and Blu-ray, as if they were never meant to look that good," explained one collector. "You can see the mistakes they made and the bad makeup and everything. Watching them on VHS is closer to the old drive-in or grindhouse theater, the way the director intended it to look."
R.I.P. VCR.

The Ontario Landowners Association (OLA) hosted another very successful annual general meeting in Tyrone, Ontario this past Saturday, October 24th. The meeting is divided into a Directors' meeting in the morning followed by a public meeting, with speakers and dinner in the afternoon.
The new executive, elected at the morning session, are as follows: Tom Black, President, Jeff Bogaerts, Vice-President, Governors: Duane McKinley, Donna Burns, Karl Von Bloedau, Mark Tijssen, and Bob Weirmeir. Liz Marshall and Karen Bainbridge continue in their roles as secretary and treasurer, respectfully. A new role was established, that of Administrative Assistant to the Executive. Shirley Dolan will fill this role. Tom extended his thanks to past Governors, Albert Kealy, Bill O'Brien, and Shirley Dolan.
Liz Marshal spoke following the dinner about the Green Energy Act. She has written a paper on this topic which is available from our website. http://store.ontariolandowners.ca/green-energy/.
This year, the OLA's award for Best Landowner went to Bob and Karen Weirmeir from the Saugeen Regional Landowners Association. The Best Landowner Group award went to the North Renfrew United Landowners. Both these groups are recent additions to the OLA and have been very active in promoting property rights in their counties, and beyond.

NEIGHBORHOOD FEEDBACK
Brutalist style chandelier Tom Greene designed. He created the beautiful patina with an oxyacetylene torch.
(Continued from Home Page)
"They were so closely related – dental prosthetics and jewelry," Tom commented. "I used the same technique to construct crowns and bridges as I did for high-end gold cast jewelry."
The blossoming jewelry maker first would sketch out a design. Then, he patiently would transform his sketch into a beautiful, detailed rendering in carving wax – similar to clay. He placed is wax rendering into the center of a special soft material called an "investment". Sealing the investment, with the wax mold inside, he would bake it in a special high heat oven. It was similar to a kiln and could bake the investment, with the mold inside, at 1200 degrees. This "lost wax" technique left the evaporated carving wax's detailed impressions on the interior of the investment.
When Tom carefully opened the investment, he could see his exact design on the interior walls of the hardened material. Carefully removing any wax remnants, Tom would pour molten gold into the interior of the investment. The gold would reach every corner and crevice of the imprint left in the investment material and slowly harden. Opening the outer investment material completely, Tom's gold cast jewelry design would be revealed.
Original gold cast jewelry with ruby insets.
Rare black amethysts set in gold cast custom jewelry.
Tom found so much satisfaction in creating these initial small gold jewelry pieces, he raised the bar higher.
"I found myself moving toward larger sculptured pieces made with bronze or brass, in the late 1950s," he explained. " A good deal of each design went into sketching out a unique design with pen and paper."
He still was just in his twenties. A combination of jazz, Nina Simone, Smokey Robinson, and the Temptations kept him company on the radio during his long evening garage workshop sessions.
"I loved taking a raw piece of copper or bronze, bending and hammering it into a shape and molding it with an oxyacetylene torch and other tools. I slowly was moving toward sculpture," Tom said.
Tom Greene Brutalist style chandelier
His experienced hands manipulated the 6000 degrees torch as an artist's tool.
"I would use the oxyacetylene torch to cut free-form shapes for my initial designs, from flower petals and leaves to figures. I could control the intense heat from the flame to create different color variations on parts of the copper and bronze surfaces," Tom explained.
The noise, smoke, blinding light, and the unmistakable smell from the high heat of a 6000 degree flame blazing through copper and bronze alternated with the banging of a hammer on metal. The whole garage scene left a distinct impression on visitors. Passers-by saw a garage glowing in the night with the sputtering sounds of assorted pops, hisses and crackles. Tom's busy oxyacetylene torch cast an unworldly brightness, as dancing shadows leaped against the windows.
"I was spending more and more time in that garage. Friends and relatives didn't think my tinkering was going to work, but I did it anyway," Tom said. "I started making pendant lighting fixtures that would hang from the ceiling as well as 12 to 15 inch long illuminated wall sconces."
"I decided to show a sample to a well known Los Angeles desk and lighting retailer, Monteverde Young. I had used the oxyacetylene torch to melt and shape a bronze lighting piece. I put in a light fixture and diffused it. I didn't know where the market was, so I wanted an expert's opinion."
"Mr. Monteverde, a leading retailer of original, custom lighting pieces, met with me and took a long, close look. He sat back and said, 'I'll buy everything you make.' I almost didn't know what to say, my heart was beating so fast."
Tom started making original lighting fixtures at night for Monteverde Young in his garage. This included chandeliers that were 24 to 48 inches wide. It took Tom 4 to 8 hours to make one piece.
"I didn't know it at the time, but the style of free form lighting fixtures I was creating were in vogue. Architects were promoting the 'Brutalist' style lighting designs and decorations for their own buildings," Tom commented.

"I was still working long days in my dental prosthetic laboratory," Tom recalled. "Mr. Monteverde would be calling me at my dental lab to place new orders. I also started getting calls at work from Paul Ferrante Lighting Fixtures, another high-end retailer. They both had private clients who had a taste for custom designed lighting fixtures. I also was fulfilling orders for hand-crafted brass and bronze furniture embellishments."
Monteverde mentioned to Tom that he was godfather to Frank Sinatra's daughter. The furniture maker loved to throw parties at his elegant home that was also a showcase for his favorite designers' creations.
"Mr. Monteverde was an amazing person who went from Salinas lettuce farmer to furniture designer," Tom recalled. "He threw fabulous parties at his house and seemed to know everyone in town, including Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, Stanley Kramer, Charlton Heston, and Peter Fonda. They all started requesting custom pieces from me."
SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE
"I was running out of time at night trying to fill an increasing number of customers' orders," Tom said. "I had taken over three garage spaces to have enough room to work on the larger designs. I took a step back and realized I could make the same or even a better income from my original copper and bronze lighting sculptures as I could from making gold crowns and inlays for dentists all day. I closed my dental laboratory, and became a custom lighting and metal sculpture designer."
"I had just gone full time with my lighting designs when Feldman Lighting and Lightolier contacted me about doing small runs of some of my fixture designs. These were large companies who worked with Walt Disney theme parks and the top Las Vegas hotels. I started getting major assignments."

Tom's overhead was approaching his limit in the 1970s, as he took on more and more large assignments. Joe Feldman, president of Feldman Lighting, was a major client of Tom's. He provided a lot of custom lighting pieces for Beverly Hills clients. Feldman had a big project for Tom, but the lighting designer realized his production costs would be more than he could handle.
Feldman encouraged Tom and took him to one of the largest banks in Los Angeles, so he could get a business loan in order to fund the production costs. Feldman was a major, long time business customer of the institution. But, even with Joe Feldman's support, Tom was turned down.
"Joe couldn't believe it," Tom remembered. "He was so shocked and angry, he closed his account with them. And that was one sizable chunk of business that bank lost. Fortunately, I managed to scuffle through it on my own. Some years later, things had changed for the better. But I found a better way to take on large design assignments, without having to deal with any bank."

He remembered when the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas invited him down and gave him a tour. The executives would point to almost every area during the walk-through that needed the Tom Greene touch. Tom was scribbling notes as fast as he could. The artist ended up with a huge contract to supply original lighting designs for the whole casino, ballrooms, corridors, restaurants and even a special theater for a magician.
"The Monte Carlo management gave me photos of some place in France and asked if I could do something similar," Tom said. "I made drawings of my concepts from the photos they showed me. They would approve my initial drawings. Then, I'd make shop drawings that complied with the Underwriters Laboratory. Aside from the designs, I had to meet all safety requirements. Some of my fixtures weighed thousands of pounds. So, I was involved in everything from the ceiling on down and structural engineers were involved in everything from the ceiling on up."
Huge hotel entrance canopy construction.
Tom had 6 or 7 months to complete the extensive Monte Caro project. He had custom Strauss chandelier crystals made in Switzerland for his designs and cast glass leaves and flowers up to 16 inches made in Milan.
Tom tested every crystal when they arrived from Switzerland. Each crystal had to be the right length and size as ordered. A strand of crystals just 2 to 3 inches off could be a design dilemma and throw off the balance of the chandelier. Since Tom's designs were composed of different elements, from brass to bronze to glass, he always made a mock-up of the whole assembly to test each one.

The designer had to keep a sharp eye on each step of the fabrication and installation of each of his one-of-a-kind pieces. He always was on-site when the hotel had their construction and engineering teams install each large piece in the hotel, to make sure did not they did not take any short cuts. He knew that if he were not on the site when his design was hung and something went wrong, the installers could try to blame him.

Tom's artistic lighting design can be seen locally in the Pacific Theatre's lobby in The Grove shopping mall near Fairfax Avenue. There you will see a huge 8 foot by 14 foot frosted glass lighting fixture, complete with original tinted glass roses and leaves.
Rick Caruso, developer of The Grove and other major Los Angeles properties, commissioned Tom to do custom lighting pieces for his office and wall sconces for his home.

Contractors Completes Project
SALISBURY – Vice President Tyler Barnes of Gillis Gilkerson has announced the company's completion of construction on the new Taylor Bank facility in Onley, Va. The full-service bank branch is

now open for business on the corner of Main Street and Shore Parkway.
"We value the relationship we have with Taylor Bank," said Barnes. "We've completed a number of renovations for them in the past and were excited to have the opportunity to build their newest branch on the Eastern Shore from the ground, up."
The 3,694-square-foot single-story, wooden framed building houses the bank's Onley Loan Production Office and features teller pods and three drive-up lanes, including one that allows for ATM access. In light of COVID, walk-in customers of the branch will be met by a greeter to help regulate traffic inside the building and direct them towards the appropriate entrance and exit points.
"This was another great collaboration between Gillis Gilkerson and Taylor Bank, and our first new construction project together," said Ray Thompson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Taylor Bank. "It has been a fantastic experience and we are excited about the organic growth opportunity to serve the entire Eastern Shore of Virginia, all the way down to the Bay Bridge Tunnel. The trust that we have in Gillis Gilkerson allowed us to use an architect from out of the area whose access to the jobsite was limited even more so by the hit of COVID. By the end of the project, the Ohio-based firm echoed our trust in the Gillis Gilkerson team."
Barnes led the project's management alongside Superintendent Steve Eshleman. The team completed the build, parking lot and landscaping installation within the requested budget and timeframe.
Controller Appointed
Michelle Carmean
SNOW HILL — The Worcester County Commissioners named Michelle Carmean as the new enterprise fund controller. She joined the Worcester County Treasurer's Office on June 1.
Carmean brings 15 years of accounting experience to this position. Prior to joining Worcester County Government (WCG), she was an accounting supervisor at Perdue Farms in Salisbury. Carmean, a former member of the Institute of Management Accountants Delmarva Chapter (IMA), earned a Bachelor of Science in Business and Finance, with a minor in Information Technology and Accounting, from Salisbury University in 2006, and a Master of Business Administration from Frostburg University in 2015.
"I would like to thank the County Commissioners for this exciting opportunity to serve as the new enterprise fund controller," Carmean said. "I look forward to gaining governmental accounting experience in my new role and working with Worcester County associates."
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Carmean was raised in Wicomico County and currently resides in Worcester County with her husband, Michael, and daughter, Makayla.
Carmean took over for former Enterprise Fund Controller Jessica Wilson who accepted the position of assistant finance officer with Worcester County.
In her role with Worcester County Government, Carmean will help develop policies and operating procedures, including the oversight, organization and direction of county enterprise funds, which include the Solid Waste and Water and Wastewater Divisions of Public Works and the Department of Liquor Control.
Airport Manager Named
SALISBURY – Anthony Rudy will serve as the new manager of the Salisbury-Ocean City-Wicomico Regional Airport after the county council voted unanimously last week to confirm his appointment.
Last week, the Wicomico County Council voted 7-0 to confirm Rudy's appointment as the airport general manager, effective July 21. Rudy will fill the position previously held by Dawn Veatch, who announced her resignation in May.
"Tony is doing a great job," Councilman John Cannon said. "I've been fortunate enough to sit in on Airport Commission meetings. They are very thorough, and he is doing an excellent job as far as taking up where Ms. Veatch had left off. Even when Ms. Veatch was here, he was an integral part of maintaining the structures in place. I think he has taken the ball and rolled with it well."
Rudy came to Wicomico County with years of experience in airport management. Before he was hired in Wicomico as the assistant airport manager, he was the director of operations and airport security coordinator in Chemung County, New York. He also served as an assistant airport manager and held positions at three other airports.
Rudy holds a Bachelor of Science degree in aviation management and flight operations with concentrations in management and leadership studies and flight training.
He has an Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.) certification, and is a member of New York Aviation Management Association.
Rudy has also completed multiple disaster- and emergency-related state certified courses. He has been a private pilot since May 1986.
"I really appreciate the opportunity and the confidence the county executive, county administrator, county council have in me," Rudy told the council last week. "This has just been an ongoing part of my career. It's an interesting time for the airport, especially with the coronavirus situation. But it's also an exciting time for the airport. We're looking to build on a lot of the initiatives Dawn Veatch started a few years ago, and we think we will be in a better place."
Regional Hospital Honored
SALISBURY — Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) has again been named a Best Regional Hospital on the Eastern Shore of Maryland according to U.S. News, the publisher of Best Hospitals. The magazine ranked PRMC as the No. 7 hospital in Maryland.
U.S. News & World Report honored PRMC a "high-performing hospital" in the treatment of heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery and colon cancer surgery. To be nationally ranked in a specialty, a hospital must excel in caring for the sickest, most medically complex patients.
The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings, now in their 6th year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for common conditions and elective procedures. These ratings extend the U.S. News mission of providing consumers with patient decision support beyond the Best Hospitals rankings, which are geared toward complex specialty care.
For the 2020-21 ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in 10 procedures and conditions. The U.S. News Procedures & Conditions methodology is based entirely on objective measures of quality such as risk-adjusted outcome rates, volume, quality of nursing and other care-related indicators.
"Organizationally, this is another outstanding honor to receive," said Steve Leonard, Ph.D., MBA, FACHE, President/CEO of the Peninsula Regional Health System and Peninsula Regional Medical Center. "This recognition is again an acknowledgement of how hard everyone in our health system continues to work, including
our Board, medical staff and volunteers, to maintain the best possible environment for our patients, and it is gratifying to know these team efforts are being recognized again nationally by U.S. News."

New York State Makes History: Sends Clear Message to Criminals Benefiting from the Killing off of Elephants and Rhinos
June 22, 2014 10:10 AM·
The Wildlife Conservation Society/Bronx Zoo, Natural Resources Defense Council, and The Humane Society of the United States praised the New York State Legislature Friday for passing landmark legislation that bans the sale and purchase of elephant ivory and rhino horn. The Chronicle recently reported on its passing in the Assembly last week. It now goes to Governor Cuomo where it is anticipated he will sign it into law.
The legislation amends the state's environmental law to ban elephant ivory sales with only a few exceptions for antiques with small amounts of ivory, certain instruments made before 1975, and transfers for educational and scientific purposes or through the distribution of estates.
After a three-way agreement was reached earlier this week between Governor Cuomo and Senate and Assembly leadership, a two-house bill was introduced in the Senate and the Assembly on June 17: S7890 by State Senators Andrew Lanza and Tony Avella; and A10143 by Assemblyman Robert Sweeney.
"With the passage of this bill, New York State has taken another step forward in the fight against the illegal ivory trade," said Governor Andrew Cuomo. We will not allow this dangerous and cruel industry to thrive in our State, and this bill ensures that by restricting the market for illegal ivory and adding tougher penalties for those who support it. I am proud that New York is taking this stand, and I urge government and community leaders across the globe to do the same."
"Today, the New York State legislature has made history passing a strong, balanced ban on the sale of elephant ivory and rhino horn. Poaching is killing off our precious wildlife and sparking insecurity in communities," said Bronx Zoo Executive Vice President for Public Affairs John Calvelli. "New York is the number one importer of ivory in the United States and it was clear we needed to take this action today. Governor Cuomo and the New York State Legislature have shown global leadership on this issue and have taken a stand to protect these magnificent creatures. This legislation should now be replicated in state houses and capitals across the globe. Working with our partners and our friends in government we will continue on with this legislative blitz. The future of these iconic species hangs in the balance."
The legislation
—Places a permanent ban on the sale of elephant and mammoth ivory and rhino horn.
—Authorizes the Department of Environmental Conservation to issue permits for the sale of the following items containing of made from elephant ivory:
100 year-old antiques comprised of less than 20 percent elephant ivory with documented proof of provenance
musical instruments (string, wind and piano) manufactured prior to 1975
elephant ivory where transfer of ownership is for education and scientific purposes including to a museum authorized by a special charter from the legislature
elephant ivory where transfer is to a legal beneficiary of a trust or estate
Increases penalties as follows:
A fine of $3,000 or 2x the value of the article, whichever is greater, for the first offense
A fine of $6,000 or 3x the value of the article, whichever is greater, for the second offense
Class D Felony for any articles exceeding $25,000 (up to 7 years imprisonment)
The law shall take effect immediately upon enactment. License and permit holders may sell existing elephant ivory and rhino horn until current licenses or permits expire.
This state legislation will enhance federal efforts to tighten the ivory trade ban on a federal level. Large-scale poaching of elephants and trafficking in ivory presents enormous economic and security challenges across Africa and beyond. The illegal ivory trade both flourishes from and contributes to a climate of instability and lawlessness in many African elephant range states, in which humanitarian crimes have risen dramatically.


The online schools listed here are all regionally accredited. We' ve also rated our best online community college selections for ROI. University of Cincinnati's online programs were rated the best in Ohio in a recent ranking. Online educational doctorate at Arizona State University comes first. The best university rankings are based on evaluations from real students.
Sponsorship of online literacy has opened the doors for many people to acquire a higher learning level where once it may have been out of reach. However, this is not the case. One online level provides the necessary level of mobility to be able to study from anywhere where an online access is available and at any time that is appropriate and comfortable for the student.
Whilst online graduation appeals to working adult college-aged individuals are also the benefits of online ways to deserve or complement their deg. Almost all the qualifications provided by standard campus-based facilities can now be purchased online. While there are some distinctions between online colleges and conventional colleges, characteristics of top online colleges embrace the following.
2 ) The value of the deal is appreciated by the institutional and marketpeer. 3 ) The high standard, diversity and rigour of the teaching programmes in the individual study programmes are in competition with similar brickworks and mortars. 4 ) The school uses state-of-the-art, user-friendly technologies to conduct the classes. It is our quest to give potential online learners the information they need to make a wise choice about where to graduate.
In reviewing online grade offers, we consider both traditional brick-and-mortar colleges that provide online grades and online primarily or solely online deg. inst. providers. In addition, we concentrate solely on institutes that have been certified by large accreditation agencies. Some of our information resources are university sites, important university ranks such as U.S. News and World Report, and other legitimate third-party resources.
If you are looking for an online level, you should be conscious of the possible challanges and inferiorities. Self-discipline and self-motivation are required for online training. Moreover, some companies are still sceptical about the applicability of an online grade and may prefer to employ applicants who graduate from a campus-based school.
As a matter of fact, many in science itself are sceptical about the relative value of an online grade. It is therefore important to visit reputable institutes and fully explore the university you wish to study to ensure that you are fully conscious of the levels of excellence you will receive in your studies.
One online grade in criminals can result in career in law-enforcement, home country securities, crimes scenes and corrective actions. The courses cover communication, business administration, criminology and fundamental rights, according to the course of study. Graduates, Master's levels and above, offer specialization in areas such as forensics, prosecution, criminal sciences, correction and agronomy.
The online colleges that offer penal law programmes are Ottawa University, Fisher College and Saint Leo University. Given that government must always continue to investment in further domestic and regional safety, the need for penalties will be high. Moreover, due to the high-tech and intelligent character of the work in the area of penal law, an online degrees course is a natural way to build a successful careers.
Online care can also open the doors to a worthwhile healthcare careers. The care levels reach from associates levels to postgraduate diplomas. Well-respected online universities for health care are those that have practical clinic expertise and partners with clinics for internships. Whereas entry-level care jobs can be achieved with an associated qualification, most promotion prospects call for a Bachelor's qualification in order to become Anonymous.
In addition, graduates can lead the candidates into administrative, research or professorship posts. The best online universities that offer care programmes are Liberty University, Salem International University and Walden University. E-Levels can differ greatly according to the levels a student wants to study and the content they want to concentrate on, although all diplomas are focused on the basics of learning and contemporary pedagogy.
Furthermore, the demands on state to state doctrine differ, with some states demanding a Bachelor's in order to start in the subject area, while other states demanding a Master's in certain areas of study. In order to fulfil these demands, it is important that the training students research the needs within the state they wish to train.
A diploma provides pupils with trainings and abilities for the management of a class room, the analysis of materials, the development of curricula and the provision of information that the pupils can fully grasp and comprehend. Walden University, Southern New Hampshire University and Liberty University are among the most sought-after online universities for learning. On-line colleges diplomas can provide benefit for active-duty militaries and vets as well.
Its most evident advantages are the online study flexibilty and comfort anywhere with an online access and at any time, which is comfortable for the pupil instead of being imposed by a timetable. For an online programme, soldiers should choose to go to a school that offers more indulgence in areas with unforeseen absenteeism, delayed assignments and unanticipated payouts.
Additionally, online colleges that provide 24/7 accessibility and the related capability to view presentations and online conversations are always comfortable, better choices for active service military staff. Throughout the years many of them return to schools after years away from the academy, the top online higher education selections that allow transcription of vouchers acquired during past course work or training courses, which provide resources such as tuition, online consulting backup, peer backup and typing backup, and which specifically provide fellowships to members of the armed forces or vets.
Several of the top selection of courses for medical and veteran students includes medical care, civil engineer, law enforcement, educational, commercial and information technology and computer sciences. Many of these qualifications are based on areas of previous experience in the field of warfare. On-line colleges for Army includes Arizona State University, Norwich University, AIU Online and Saint Leo University.

• What are the benefits of using visualization as a tool for building shared interpretations and mutual understandings between researchers and practice in action case research settings?
• How can visualization activities in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) contribute to bridging the gap between conceptual and concrete levels of results?
In this paper we present empirical findings from an action case research project. Flower Systems Ltd. is a software company that has developed a document handling system (ISOX) especially designed to meet the needs of social services in local governments. The concrete result of the collaboration is a more user-friendly, redesigned version of ISOX based on the use of different visualization techniques. The conceptual result is a proposed model for using visualization when balancing between interpretation and intervention.

Causes of the Second World War
The Second World War was caused by:
a. Hitler's Aims
To unite German speaking people (using NSD which had been denied at the Treaty of Versailles.
He wanted lebensraum (living space) in order to gain self-sufficiency (autarky)
He wanted to dominate Europe and the World
To achieve any of these aims would involve breaking the Treaty of Versailles (28/6/1919), and this could lead to war.
b. The aggression of Hitler's Allies
Italy – Mussolini wanted a Fascist-Roman empire in the Mediterranean and Africa (e.g. Abyssinian invasion in 1935.)
Japan – Japan wanted a Nipponese empire in the Pacific, extending into China and Australia (e.g. Manchurian invasion in 1931)
Germany, Italy and Japan were hostile to Communism (USSR), and this way a cause of war and vice versa.
c. Democratic powers were passive
USA – Isolated
France – France was unlikely, and reluctant, to intervene against Germany, because she could not rely on Britain's and America's support.
Britain – Between 1934 and 1937, Britain was sympathetic to German recovery. Between May 1937 and March 1939, Britain appeased Germany.
These powers could have stopped Fascist aggression earlier than 1939.
d. The League of Nations failed to keep peace
See other notes.
War was caused by a combination of 'a' to 'd', but Hitler's aims and actions were the main cause of war.
Reasons for Causes of War
Refer to map showing nine causes of war.
The Second World War was caused by Fascist aggression and the failure of democratic powers to stop this aggression.
The rearmament of Germany was a cause for war because it broke the Treaty of Versailles (28th June, 1919)
The remilitarization of the Rhineland (7th march, 1936) was a cause of war because it broke the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Pacts (1925)
The Rome-Berlin Axis (October 1936) was a cause of war because it united the aggressive fascist powers and divided Europe into hostile camps.
Chamberlain's appeasement policy (after may 1937 – March 1939) was a cause of war because it broke the Treaty of Versailles and Treaty of St. Germain (10th September, 1919)
The Anschluss of Germany with Austria (13th march, 1938) was a cause of war because it broke the Treaty of Versailles and Treaty of St. Germain (10th September, 1919)
The Nazi annexation of the Sudetenland after the Munich conference (29th September 1938) was a cause of war, because it broke the Treaty of St. Germain.
The Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, cause war because it defied the Munich agreement and ended Britain's appeasement policy.
The Nazi-Soviet Pact (29th August 1939) caused war because it sealed Poland's downfall.
The Nazi invasion of Poland (1st September 1939) caused war because Britain had guaranteed Poland's borders.
Causes of the Second World War (Detail)
See Map and Summary Sheet
Nine Steps to War
1. The Rearmament of Germany
German rearmament began after Hitler left 1932-4 Geneva Disarmament Conference, stating that as the powers would not disarm to his level, he would rearm Germany to their level. By 1935 rearmament was well underway. This involved conscription and munitions factories.
Rearmament alarmed the French who, feeling insecure, reinforced the Maginot line (built between 1929 and 1934). This was a line of steel and concrete fortifications stretching from Belgium to Switzerland and was called 'a gate without a fence' because Germany would be able to avoid it and invade France via Belgium. France remained passive without Britain's support.
Britain was sympathetic towards Germany and even signed an Anglo German naval Treaty (June 1935) allowing Germany's navy to be 35% of the size of the Royal Navy. Hitler used his new found arms to support Franco in the Spanish Civil War (1936-9) Hitler sent the Condor Legion of the Luftwaffe to bomb Guernica on 26th April, 1937. Guernica was razed to the ground and Franco went on to conquer the Basque areas of Spain. Hitler had used Spain as a practise ground.
2. The Remilitarization of the Rhineland (1936)
Having broken the Treaty of Versailles once, Hitler risked doing it a second time by marching 30,000 troops into Cologne on 7th March 1936. France, with 250,000 troops mobilised, remained passive because Britain would not support her. Britain took the view that Germany was 'marching into her own back yard.'
To show that his remilitarization was popular, Hitler held a plebiscite, which showed that 98.8% were in favour. He went on to build his own defensive fortification, the Siegfried Line.
3. The Rome Berlin Axis (October 1936)
Originally Mussolini did not want to be Hitler's ally and in 1935 talks were held with Britain and France at the Stresa Front, but these came to nothing when Anthony Eden of Britain threatened oil sanctions against Mussolini during the Abyssinian crisis. This caused the Rome-Berlin Axis in 1936. Mussolini and Hitler strengthened their alliance on two occasions
The Anti-Commintern Pact (November 1937) with Japan.
The Pact of Steel (May 1939).
4. Britain's policy of Appeasement (May/June 1937 – March 1939)
Neville Chamberlain became British Prime Minister on 28th May 1937, and followed the policy of appeasing Germany, believing that all Hitler wanted to do was unite German speaking people. In so doing, Hitler would break the Treaty of Versailles (28th June 1919) but Chamberlain did not believe Hitler would cause war. Churchill disagreed, citing Mein Kampf (1924) where Hitler had written that Germany must regain lands 'in the East … by the power of the sword.'
Chamberlain had misinterpreted Hitler's aims. (We have the benefit of hindsight.)
5. The Anschluss with Austria (13th March, 1938)
Austrian Fascists wanted to unite with Germany but Schuschnigg, the Austrian Chancellor, wanted Austria to be independent. He was unable to gain support from abroad (France and the Little Entente) so agreed to meet Hitler in Berlin. He was persuaded to accept Hitler's henchman Seyss-Inquart as Minster of the Interior. Rioting in Vienna increased under Seyss-Inquart's leadership and Schuschnigg resigned. Seyss-Inquart invited Hitler to assist him and on 13th March, 1938 troops from the Wermacht entered Austria. In a plebiscite on the Anschluss a vote of 99.75% in favour was recorded. This was 'rigged' by biased questioning. Hitler made it seem that he had been invited into Austria, in fact he had incited the union.
6. Hitler Gained the Sudetenland (29th September, 1938)
The Sudetenland was lost by Austria in the Treaty of St. Germain (10th September 1919) and hereby Czechoslovakia gained 3 million German speaking people. After the Anschluss the Sudeten German leader, Konrad Henlein, demanded a union with Germany. Unable to receive help from France, the Czech Premier, Benes, mobilised alone. Fearing war, Chamberlain met Hitler on three occasions at Berchtesgaden, Godesburg and at Munich.
Munich Agreement (29th September, 1938)
This was signed by Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain and Daladier. Benes was not present. It said:
Hitler could take the Sudetenland the following day without a plebiscite
Hungary and Poland could take border districts from Czechoslovakia
Britain and Germany would never go to war.
Chamberlain's Reaction
On his return to England, Chamberlain announced that he had gained 'peace with honour, peace in our time'. The majority rejoiced, except Churchill.
Hitler's Reaction
In public Hitler seemed satisfied, but in private he exploded saying 'that fellow Chamberlain has spoiled my entry into Prague.'
7. The Fall of Czechoslovakia (March 1939)
In March 1939, Hitler forced Lithuania to give him Memel where most people spoke German. So far Hitler had only taken German speaking territory, so Chamberlain could still appease Hitler. However, in March 1939, Hitler threatened to bomb Prague, so the Czechs surrendered. Chamberlain realised appeasement had failed, so he began to rearm Britain and guarantee peace in Poland.
8. Nazi-Soviet Pact (29th August, 1939) – The Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact
By the summer of 1939, Hitler's plans to invade Poland were complete. He realised that to invade Poland mighty cause Britain to attack him from the West but he was more concerned to avoid a Russian attack from the east. Therefore to avoid a war on two fronts, he arranged the Nazi-Soviet Pact, which said that if either country went to war the other would remain neutral.
Hitler gained the chance to invade Poland with a war on one front, if Britain supported Poland.
Stalin of USSR gained time to rearm in case Hitler attacked him later, and the chance to gain the eastern half of Poland. This would provide the USSR with a bufferzone.
9. German Invasion of Poland (1st September, 1939)
German tanks invaded West Prussia and Posen on the 1st September 1939 using blitzkrieg tactics. (This is a lightning, sudden attack co-ordinating air, then land forces). Chamberlain sent an ultimatum (a warning with a threat) saying that if Hitler did not withdraw from Poland by 11am, 3rd September 1939, Britain would declare war. On 3rd September, Britain, followed by France, declared war on Germany.

Q: Create query for a child to use the parameters of the parent Could you help me please.
I searched the internet and could not find any solutions.
How create query for a child to use the parameters of the parent?
var Photos = new Schema({
    photo_id: {type: String, required: true},
    photo_path_low: { type: String, required: true }
});

var Users = new Schema({
    user_id: { type: String, required: true },
    count_coins: { type: Number, default: 20 },
    photos_relation: [Photos]
});
...
... some code
...
PhotoModel.findOne().where('parent.count_coins').gt(1)..... // parent for Example

A: For this case there are Object-references:
var Photos = new Schema({
    photo_id: {type: String, required: true},
    photo_path_low: { type: String, required: true }
    createdBy: {type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User'},
});

Then, when you make your query, you can populate references like this:
Photo.findOne({_id: 123})
.populate('createdBy')
.exec(function(err, post) {
    // do stuff with post
});

You can find more in this mongoose documentation.

Policeman Alonzo "Lon" Robinson
Pikeville Police Department
Pikeville Police Department, Kentucky
End of Watch Thursday, May 16, 1929
Alonzo "Lon" Robinson
Policeman Lon Robinson was shot and killed as he and a United States deputy marshal attempted serving a search warrant on a man for possessing liquor at his home in the Happy Hollow area of Pikeville.
A handgun and a bottle of whiskey were taken from the suspect, and as they walked him from the house, he pulled out a second handgun and opened fire. Policeman Robinson was struck in the chest and killed, and the deputy marshal was struck in the leg and wounded. The deputy marshal was able to return fire and seriously wounded the suspect.

No 'Longer Forgotten: Pikeville Police Department digs into past to honor fallen officer
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - It has been 91 years since Alonzo "Lon" Robinson was killed in the line of duty.
The former Pikeville police officer was killed responding to a call related to the illegal sale of alcohol on May 16, 1929.
According to newspaper articles from that time, the 39-year-old officer was shot by Bruce Little of Floyd County in the Happy Hollow community of Pikeville when he searched a home for illegal alcohol.
Since then, Robinson's death has faded into the background. Until the Pikeville Police Department brought it into the spotlight.
"I just wish we knew more about Lon Robinson to honor that a little more. But all we know is just the archives that we get to read and see," said PPD Chief Chris Edmonds.
One year after PPD officer Scotty Hamilton was killed, his name was added to the National Peace Officers' Memorial in Washington, DC. After attending the ceremony for Hamilton, then-captain Aaron Thompson worked with Police Clerk Elizabeth Thompson to have Robinson added as well.
"They both researched, done data checks, found everything they needed. And we presented. We even found the commission meeting minutes of when he was sworn in and everything years ago," Chris Edmonds. "So much history around here we don't know about."
That research was successful in finding family members to help get the ball rolling. Now, though Thompson has retired, the mission is complete.
Robinson's name was added to the memorial this week in a virtual ceremony and the officers were able to honor him on Peace Officers' Memorial Day by placing a wreath on his once-overgrown grave.
"We didn't live it; didn't see no part of it. But we still want to honor it and still remember it. Because Scotty, of course, he died fighting a drug war and- back in that day- Lon died fighting an alcohol war," Edmonds said.
They say it was a blessing to put a face with his name and put his name where it belongs: forever engraved in history.
"It's just the different wars and different sagas that police officers see during their careers that they were fighting to make it better for. So it's great to honor that," Edmonds said.

It's Ayla's 3rd birthday and we're so excited. As frightening as the prospect sounds to us, this is the year she'll start nursery and begin moving into the big, wide world. In three short years she's achieved so much and we thought we'd mark the occasion by compiling a list of the things we love about our special girl.
3. Comedic timing – Even when she's trying to be serious, Ayla makes us laugh. The aforementioned one liners usually garner the most laughs but sometimes Ayla can lash out a look, a shrug or an eyeroll that can send you into a kink of laughter.
4. Expressive facials – Ayla's facial expressions do not allow her to hide what she's feeling – good, bad or indifferent. Despite all this, she still lives up to her nickname, Ayla Smiler.
5. Big sister super powers – From the moment we brought Daniel home, Ayla doted on him and still does. She regularly stops what she's doing to put his dummy back in, giving him a squeeze (gently!) or to proclaim him "mine gorgeous, darling boy".
6. Love for friends & family – Anyone who Ayla sees on a regular basis knows how loving she is. From declaring her undying love for you to a simple stroke on the back of head Ayla always makes you feel special.
8. Unusual taste in food – Never the fussiest of eaters among her favourite foods Ayla lists what some would say was strange for a toddler. This includes olives, broccoli, cheese strings, gravy, corn on the cob and chunky vegatable soup. Also 'corn crappers' (prawn crackers).
10. Zest for life – Even at this early age Ayla seems to love life and live it to the full. Whilst doing simple things like drinking a nice, cold water, putting things in the bin or playing in the garden, you can see the enthusiasm pour out of her and she shows gratitude for the opportunity.
Happy 3rd Birthday to our beautiful daughter Ayla Sophia. From the moment you were born, you have filled our lives with so much happiness. We are so proud of you for so many reasons. You are funny, talented, caring, kind, smart beyond your years, happy, outgoing, an amazing big sister & pretty much the best person we know!
We hope you have a wonderful day, full of all your favourite things! You are our sunshine, the light around the moon & the stars, our Ayla Smiler! We love you millions. Daddoo, Mammy & baby brother, Daniel.
