After the attack on the Government building, the killed embedded agent was found to be a member of a neighboring country’s special intelligence division, and although these two nations used share a strong alliance, they were now at odds, as the neighboring country was proven to be supporting the current uprising within the nation, presumably to help facilitate a puppet government to take power in order to strengthen their grip on the east. Because of this political tension, the two nations were preparing for war. shutting their borders and mobilizing artillery units- whose sights were aimed at the one country that they considered an ally. Things were different now, and getting worse.

Unfortunately, it was cloudy sky on the day.
Even if it opened after I moved away, seeing my hometown Borders close is really sad. Ames only has ISU bookstores now
Ontario-Manitoba border, looking from Ontario. (But where is the actual line? The road is obviously paved differently up to a point just behind our car and the small fence and white-over-green diamond marker to mark end of fence is a very Ontario thing (never saw it in Manitoba). The "100" speed limit sign, though is in the style one would see in Manitoba (plus, the speed is 100 in Manitoba as opposed to 90 in Ontario)
On November 16th 2012 the beta edition of the new Border Sessions Festival took place in The Hague, the Netherlands: speakers, authors, philosophers and thinkers examined the impact of new technologies on society and vice versa. The festival’s goal is to let visitors become inspired, get ideas, meet interesting people and just as importantly: have a really fun day.

Op vrijdag 16 november vond de beta-editie van Border Sessions plaats. Crossing Border is een nieuw festival, verbonden aan Crossing Border, waarin sprekers, auteurs, filosofen en denkers de invloed van nieuwe technologieën op de maatschappij en vice versa onderzoeken. Het doel van het festival is dat bezoekers geïnspireerd raken, ideeën opdoen, nieuwe interessante contacten leggen en net zo belangrijk: gewoon een heel leuke dag hebben. Het festival is met name gericht op professionals uit het bedrijfsleven, overheid, NGO’s, internationale sector en de creatieve sector. Plan is om dit festival elk jaar te laten plaatsvinden in Den Haag.

Hinterland Urbanisms.
Andean Hub.

The IIRSA Andean Hub is defined by a north-south corridor crossing Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Some 104 million inhabitants occupy the region of the Hub, yet the IIRSA projects are centered in remote undeveloped border conditions. This reinforces the emergent hinterland urbanism quality. The reserach and project explores the possibilities of contemporary infrastructure in this hub and yields two essential observations:
1) border stations are an opportunity to reconsider how energy, specifically hydroelectric, is stored, distributed and catalytic with development, and 2) the north-south orientation of the hub and its attendant geography, allows for a linear energy corridor. We call these the “power station” and “superline,” respectively.
WEATHER = WATER = POWER. Ten percent renewable sources of energy, established as a worldwide goal for 2010, is already a reality in Latin America, but that has been achieved mostly through large-scale hydroelectric dams. Around 23 percent of Latin America’s total primary energy supply comes from renewable sources, including hydroelectric dams, according to the ECLAC study “Energy sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean: the share of renewable sources,” published in October 2003. Likewise, the Andean region is rainy, yielding some 2500mm annually in more than 30% of its territory. Although precipitation is unpredictable. What if an infrastructure were able to flex and anticipate river flow and rainfall dynamic? The overarching ambition of our proposal is to produce a new model of energy hub that integrates border conditions and ecosystems. Water becomes the binding element of energy, nature, economy, and hinterland eco-development.
POWER BORDERS. Significant to the suite of investment projects planned for the Andean hub, we have identified the following as offering the most potential for new innovative design thinking: border stations, electricity and interconnection, and hydroelectricity stations. The possibility exists to intersect these investments to yield a new model of border crossing and subsequently, a new border energy city. IIRSA is currently seeking: 3 new border stations and 2 power connections at the border of Venezeula and Colombia; 2 border stations, 3 power connections, and 1 hydro-electric stations at the Colombia and Ecuador; 2 border stations, 1 power connection, and 2 hydro-electric stations. Each of these three border conditions offers the catalytic need and opportunity for the first “power stations” in the Andean superline energy system.
ANDEAN SUPERLINE. With the Pan-American Highway providing a model for linear infrastructure, the opportunity for a linear power corridor is potent. The Andean superline would be served primarily by hydroelectric stations and power connections.
In response to the already increasing hydropower in the region, the Andean superline could bundle and integrate other renewable energy sectors such as solar, wind, and geothermal.
BIODIVERSITY. The Andean Hub is a significant ecologically sensitive region, with over 25% of the world’s biodiversity. One way to address this is to conceive of the superline simultaneously as a protected landscape – even a monitored and managed ecosystem that safely integrates infrastructure and habitat. Each power plant and energy source will be evaluated economically and environmentally. The sites with low or bad rating will no be connected to the super line. If the superline is efficient, the low-rated powerplants will only serve for local power generations and will be phased out in the near future.
A border collie at 13 weeks: full of energy and intelligence. This was a quiet moment in between romps, and I cropped out the hands and arms of her owner, who is holding her and calming her so that the photographer can focus...

Testing fake film borders. On the one hand, they're wicked cheesy. On the other hand, images without a border look odd to me.
The Wagah border closing 'lowering of the flags' ceremony is a daily military practice that the security forces of India (Border Security Force) and Pakistan (Pakistan Rangers) have jointly followed since 1959.[1] This ceremony takes place every evening before sunset at the Wagah border, which as part of the Grand Trunk Road was the only road link between these two countries before the opening of the Aman Setu in Kashmir in 1999. The ceremony starts with a blustering parade by the soldiers from both the sides, and ends up in the perfectly coordinated lowering of the two nations' flags.[2] It is called the beating retreat border ceremony on the international level. One infantryman (Jawan) stands at attention on each side of the gate. As the sun sets, the iron gates at the border are opened and the two flags are lowered simultaneously. The flags are folded and the ceremony ends with a retreat that involves a brusque handshake between soldiers from either side, followed by the closing of the gates again. The spectacle of the ceremony attracts many visitors from both sides of the border, as well as international tourists.
The opening of Liberia’s official borders enables economic activities and allows students to attend school. However, it is important to take precautionary measures.

This is the new Editor-in-Chief of "Cancer Research" right before he made a run across the border into Nebraska. My question: if Nebraska is the home of Arbor Day, then why aren't there any trees within a 53 mile radius of this sign?
The first Working Group Conference Call on border security has been organized on February 21, 2013. The aim of the call was to provide continuity of work and policy ideas that are to be discussed at future International Border Security Forum workshops. There was over a dozen countries represented at the call including: US, Canada, UK, Israel, Poland, Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Finland. Members of international institutions such as: NATO, OSCE, FRONTEX, IOM and the Council of the EU, also attended the call.

The Top Dog Agility club set up an agility demonstration for the 24 hour relay to raise funds for cancer research. This is one of the club's Border Collies. I think this dog is named Chase.
