The VFW established this program in 1947 to provide students grades 9-12 the opportunity to express themselves in regards to democratic ideas and principles. This year we have four participants that entered the local competition--judging will take place this week. The winner’s audio-essay will be submitted to the VFW New Mexico Department to compete at the state level. Our local winners have done really well at the state level in previous year, so we want to wish all our local competitors the best of luck in this year’s competition. As you can see, this is a very busy time of year for our post. We will be involved with many community activities. And with that, we need to pause and honor all those Veterans who have served this great country of ours. We also need to take time to God Bless the United States of America! thank them for their service and sacrifice. And Roger Anaya, Commander 1st Lieutenant John D. Gamble VFW - John D.

  • Migration and Conservation: Frameworks, Gaps, and Synergies in Science, Law, and Management
    GAL.MERETSKY.DOC 5/31/2011 6:00 PM MIGRATION AND CONSERVATION: FRAMEWORKS, GAPS, AND SYNERGIES IN SCIENCE, LAW, AND MANAGEMENT BY VICKY J. MERETSKY,* JONATHAN W. ATWELL** & JEFFREY B. HYMAN*** Migratory animals provide unique spectacles of cultural, ecological, and economic importance. However, the process of migration is a source of risk for migratory species as human actions increasingly destroy and fragment habitat, create obstacles to migration, and increase mortality along the migration corridor. As a result, many migratory species are declining in numbers. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act provides some protection against extinction for such species, but no protection until numbers are severely reduced, and no guarantee of recovery to population levels associated with cultural, ecological, or economic significance. Although groups of species receive some protection from statutes such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act, there is no coordinated system for conservation of migratory species. In addition, information needed to protect migratory species is often lacking, limiting options for land and wildlife managers who seek to support these species. In this Article, we outline the existing scientific, legal, and management information and approaches to migratory species. Our objective is to assess present capacity to protect the species and the phenomenon of migration, and we argue that all three disciplines are necessary for effective conservation. We find significant capacity to support conservation in all three disciplines, but no organization around conservation of migration within any discipline or among the three disciplines. Areas of synergy exist among the disciplines but not as a result of any attempt for coordination.

  • List of Boundary Lines
    A M K RESOURCE WORLD GENERAL KNOWLEDGE www.amkresourceinfo.com List of Boundary Lines The line which demarcates the two countries is termed as Boundary Line List of important boundary lines Durand Line is the line demarcating the boundaries of Pakistan and Afghanistan. It was drawn up in 1896 by Sir Mortimer Durand. Hindenburg Line is the boundary dividing Germany and Poland. The Germans retreated to this line in 1917 during World War I Mason-Dixon Line is a line of demarcation between four states in the United State. Marginal Line was the 320-km line of fortification on the Russia-Finland border. Drawn up by General Mannerheim. Macmahon Line was drawn up by Sir Henry MacMahon, demarcating the frontier of India and China. China did not recognize the MacMahon line and crossed it in 1962. Medicine Line is the border between Canada and the United States. Radcliffe Line was drawn up by Sir Cyril Radcliffe, demarcating the boundary between India and Pakistan. Siegfried Line is the line of fortification drawn up by Germany on its border with France.Order-Neisse Line is the border between Poland and Germany, running along the Order and Neisse rivers, adopted at the Poland Conference (Aug 1945) after World War II. 17th Parallel defined the boundary between North Vietnam and South Vietnam before two were united. 24th Parallel is the line which Pakistan claims for demarcation between India and Pakistan. This, however, is not recognized by India 26th Parallel south is a circle of latitude which crosses through Africa, Australia and South America. 30th Parallel north is a line of latitude that stands one-third of the way between the equator and the North Pole.

  • The Coordinate System: Latitude and Longitude
    The Coordinate System: 2 Latitude and Longitude Key Words: latitude, equator, longitude, meridians, prime meridian, coordinate system, coordinates, absolute location, hemispheres On many maps and globes, you can see crisscrossing lines with numbers by them. These lines and numbers form a grid system that allows us to describe the exact location of any place on Earth. The lines running east to west around the Earth are lines of latitude, also called parallels (because parallel lines do not touch each other). These lines use units of measure called degrees to measure the distance north or south of the equator, which is 0° latitude. (The symbol ° stands for degrees.) The 30th parallel north is the same as 30° N (north) latitude. Look at the globe on the right. Locate the equator at 0 degrees (0°). On this globe, the next line of latitude south of the equator is 15° S (south). Still going south, the next line of latitude is 30° S, then 45° S, and so on. The farthest south you can go is the South Pole, at latitude 90° S. The farthest north you can go is the North Pole, at latitude 90° N. On a map or a globe the lines running north to south, from pole to pole are lines of longitude, also called meridians. Lines of longitude measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian, which is 0° longitude. Look at the globe on the left. Find the prime meridian. On this globe, the first line of longitude east of the prime meridian is 15° E (east).

The NLDAS-2 precipitation and its simulated discharge are used as the reference to compare with TMPA-3B42 V7, TMPA-3B42RT V7, Stage IV, CPC-U, MERRA-2, and MSWEP V2.2 for 1548 well-gauged river basins. The relative errors in multiple conventional precipitation products and their corresponding discharges are analyzed for the period of 2002–13.
