She accepts students up to the age of 18, and she focuses her lessons on giving beginners a proper musical introduction, one that will reward them as a creative outlet throughout their lives. Though Miss Amy believes mastering the piano takes perseverance and practice, she also thinks it's the easiest instrument to learn, especially in her studio's kid-friendly environment. Plus, music education makes students smarter and more likely to name their pet after obscure 19th-century Austrian composers. Every student starts off with four private lessons before moving to group lessons with students of a similar age and ability level.3 Ripley Rd.Stafford, VA US

Youth programs include year-round programs in dance, theater, music, music-theater, and acting, as well as a performing-arts program in the summer, all for children as young as 2.

Their dance teachers draw from countless global influences to arrange their curriculum, covering Bollywood, hula, ballet, and tap. During art class, employees outline classic styles as adults and children sketch their original works. The staff also appreciates the social benefits of their teachings. They head an after-school program and various summer camps to introduce youngsters to the fine arts, which often culminate in confidence-boosting performances.

Orioles Owner Peter Angelos held a 3-hour meeting Friday with the trustees selling the Buccaneers. Angelos described the meeting as "very positive," but Bucs officials downplayed it as "one of a dozen or so introductory exchanges they expect to hold" with bidders. Angelos and Bucs officials "declined to disclose the specifics" of their talks (Jon Morgan, Baltimore SUN, 11/19). Columnist Vito Stellino notes, with the election of Democrat Parris Glendening as MD Governor, the funding for a new football stadium should stay in place, leaving Baltimore remaining as a "player in the franchise game" (Baltimore SUN, 11/20). WHY BUY AN NFL TEAM? In St. Pete, Robert Keefe lists reasons why buying an NFL franchise is a good investment. 1) There is "relatively" very little risk. 2) "While sports teams may not be the best investment in the short term ... they are extraordinary investments in the long term, after they are resold." 3) "They're not as good as they used to be, but sports teams can still be fair tax shelters." 4) As for supply, "football teams are as rare as fine gems, regardless of their quality." As for the Bucs, besides the guaranteed revenue they receive from the league from TV revenue, the team has "one of the best leases of any sports franchise" (ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 11/21).

Oscura: Second Shadow
The Driftlands are a gothic and frightening place at the best of times….And this is not the best of times. The Aurora stone has been stolen from the great Lighthouse by an unknown and shadowy creature. Without its light, the Driftlands will be destroyed.
Enter Oscura, our highly unlikely hero. He is the keeper of the lighthouse, and possesses a mysterious eternally glowing hand. Oscura must travel the lands and gather the shards to restore the Aurora stone - before it is too late and darkness befalls on the whole universe.
Inspired by early platformers from the 1990's, Oscura delivers a stripped down platforming experience through the filter of modern game and art design.
Built for touch devices from the ground up, Oscura: Second Shadow is optimised and designed around the capabilities and limitations of touch to ensure that the controls are never at fault.
Dive into the world of the Driftlands, where engineering meets nature and strange creatures stalk. With the Aurora stone shattered, Oscura's glowing hand and the shards of the stone are the only light sources, creating a stark and beautiful silhouette art style.
Journey through 20 challenging levels, each crafted by hand rather than using tile-sets.
Slight of frame and without any weaponry or brute force, Oscura must rely on his wits and reflexes to avoid foes and hazards alike. He's no hero, just doing his job.
Completing levels is one thing, collecting all four stars for each level is quite another. Replay levels to perfect your run and beat the goals for time, collecting cogs, shards and getting through without dying.
Android 3.1 Honeycomb and above is required.
Oscura: Second Shadow from Creator Ole Alfheim is a game by the Chocolate Liberation Front and is proudly presented by Surprise Attack Games - Remarkable Games from Independent Creators

Kerry Life Story Will Be Focus Of Big Ad Buy
By DAVID M. HALBFINGER and JIM RUTENBERG
Published: May 4, 2004
WASHINGTON, May 3— John Kerry's campaign announced Monday that it was making what it called the largest single purchase of advertising time in a presidential race, unveiling commercials that tell Mr. Kerry's life story from birth to the Vietnam War to two decades in the United States Senate.
Mr. Kerry's advisers described the advertisements, which are to run heavily in 19 states through the end of the month at a cost of $27.5 million, as the beginning of a long process of introducing the candidate to general election voters. It is a move many Democrats have warned was too long in coming.
One of the 60-second advertisements also associates Mr. Kerry with Senator John McCain, a Republican popular with independents and swing voters, showing a picture of the two senators side-by-side and noting their cooperation with each other in accounting for Americans lost or taken prisoner in Vietnam.
The new advertising push -- its magnitude possible because Mr. Kerry opted out of the public finance system -- is in large measure Mr. Kerry's response to a two-month $60 million barrage of advertisements from President Bush, who spent the day traveling southern Michigan by bus. [Page A26.]
Most of the Bush spots attacked Mr. Kerry as a political equivocator bent on raising taxes and soft on defense, an image that some Democrats and opinion polls suggested was beginning to take hold in voters' minds.
Mr. Kerry's aides said Monday that his advertisements would establish his leadership credentials, highlighting his decorated combat record in Vietnam. They also said the advertisements would position his campaign as more positive than that of Mr. Bush, who weeks ago shifted to nothing but attack commercials.
Mr. Kerry's aides asserted that the president's strategy was little more than to ''destroy John Kerry,'' and that it had failed because the two men were still running neck and neck in the polls.
''While George Bush has spent $60 million to run negative ads,'' said Mary Beth Cahill, Mr. Kerry's campaign manager, ''John Kerry is up with a stronger message that will define the themes of his presidency: 'Together we can build a stronger America.' ''
Mr. Bush's aides were dismissive of their opponent's effort to flesh out his biography. ''I don't think the problem is that people haven't been introduced to Senator Kerry,'' said Matthew Dowd, a senior Bush election adviser. ''I think the problem is they've been introduced to him in the last 60 to 90 days and they find his record and statements very troubling.''
The new advertisements will run at a cost of $25 million between now and May 27, the Kerry campaign said. In addition, a 30-second advertisement that has been running for a few weeks is being extended at a cost of $2.5 million.
Mr. Kerry is able to spend so much at this point in the campaign because of his decision last December not to participate in the public financing system and accept its spending caps. At the time, the decision allowed him to use his own money to prop up his struggling campaign. Now it is letting him spend the tens of millions of dollars he is raking in at a rate beyond his fund-raisers' wildest hopes. Mr. Kerry's aides said that four years ago, Vice President Al Gore was held to spending no more than $9 million between Super Tuesday and the Democratic convention.
Mr. Kerry's use of Mr. McCain's image came without his permission, though a campaign aide contacted the Arizona senator's office on Monday morning to inform him, said Marshall Wittmann, a spokesman for Mr. McCain.
Mr. Wittmann said Mr. McCain was traveling and could not be reached for comment.
''A plethora of presidential candidates have mentioned Senator McCain over the past year,'' Mr. Wittmann said, alluding to Democrats like Senator Joseph I. Lieberman who invoked Mr. McCain's name in the primaries.
Mr. Wittmann added: ''The Kerry ad is factually correct, and who knows? Perhaps the Bush campaign will highlight Senator McCain's work with the president as well.''
The new advertisements also show Mr. Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, and his daughter Vanessa praising his character. A crewmate on his swift boat in Vietnam and a former Green Beret whom Mr. Kerry rescued from a river both say that he saved their lives in battle.
Even though such a large advertising purchase is unusual this early in an election year, some Democrats had agitated for Mr. Kerry to respond even sooner, watching as the Bush campaign steadily depicted Mr. Kerry as a flip-flopper in advertisements, speeches, news releases and appearances by surrogates.
In one sign that Mr. Kerry's Vietnam record is still fodder for attack, a group of Vietnam swift boat veterans critical of Mr. Kerry plans on Tuesday to call on him to authorize the Navy to independently release all his military records.
''The Bush guys have indeed done some serious work to define Kerry,'' said one prominent Democratic strategist who refused to be named. ''The polls are striking. Some of the damage can be undone, some not.''
But other leading Democrats called the advertisements a strong move. ''This is exactly what John Kerry needs to do,'' said Tom Daschle, the Senate minority leader from South Dakota. ''He needs to introduce himself in a meaningful way to the people in the country now, especially now after this attack campaign launched by the Bush administration. It has worked, so I think it's very important for John now to step up and introduce himself and his vision to the country.''

The first step to treating any lip injury is to stop bleeding by applying pressure, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. Because the lips have a large blood supply, lip cuts tend to bleed excessively. If the injury is on the outside of the lip, clean the area well, and apply an antiseptic spray or lotion. For cuts inside the lip, simply rinse the mouth to remove any particles.Know More
Apart from the problem of additional bleeding, the rich blood supply in the lips enables them to heal quite fast when injured, explains the University of Rochester Medical Center. Most superficial cuts that are smaller than half an inch in length heal easily on their own simply by keeping the area clean. Suck on ice to prevent swelling and avoiding blowing on the wound.
In the case of a deeper wound or one that does not stop bleeding within 10 minutes, seek the help of a physician to ensure the lip heals properly, according to Colgate. Puncture wounds and deep cuts require medical attention, as do lip wounds caused by animals or rusty objects. As with any wound, see a doctor if there are signs of infection. In some cases, lip wounds inside the mouth require an antibiotic to prevent infection.Learn more about Wounds & Bruises
Applying ice, eating fruits and vegetables, avoiding aspirin, and elevating the bruised help accelerate the healing of bruises, according to HowStuffWorks. Applying a warm compress or aloe vera and keeping the blood pressure low also help to heal a bruise quickly.Full Answer >
To heal a bruise, WebMD recommends incorporating a mixture of treatments, including applying ice to the affected area, compressing the bruise with an elastic bandage, massaging the area if possible to encourage blood flow and elevating the injury above the level of the heart. Topical treatments such as witch hazel and arnica are also known to aid the healing process.Full Answer >
Lip biting is very common, according to the American College of Prosthodontists, and the best way to cure it is with warm salt water and time. An individual can also apply ice to the area to reduce swelling.Full Answer >
Treat a bitten lip by first cleaning any cuts on the inside of the mouth with a rinse of saltwater or a solution of one part water and one part hydrogen peroxide, explains Simple Steps To Better Dental Health. Use ice or a cold compress to address swelling or bruising.Full Answer >

Never had a bad Sorella. At 16 years old, this was the oldest example I've ever tried. Forest, mushrooms, graphite all make an appearance, along with the final remnants of sweet cab fruit. Not as complex as the 1996, but everything is so well integrated and smooth, I didn't really care. Another winner for this benchmark Washington blend.

Pomegranate, celery root, orange clay, seaweed, applewood, smoke and shit in the nose. Dark cherry, pomegranate, pineapple rind, a little bell pepper on a long palate. Lots of glycerine streaking the stemware. Combines stylistic aspects of St. Julian (think old-school Lagrange and Gruaud Larouse), as well as modern Right-Bank garage wines like Chateau Gracia. Fulfills the hype.

We've already reached Week 12 of the season, with just two regular-season weekends left. Thankfully we have a Thursday night game to help kick things off. Here's what to watch in that contest and more in this weekend's ACC lineup.
1. Georgia Tech D looks to keep it going. The Yellow Jackets had an extra week to prepare for Clemson, though they have regained their edge defensively in a three-game winning streak. They held a Pitt team that ended up beating Notre Dame to just 10 points, and they shut out Syracuse back on Oct. 19 to kick-start this little run. A win would put Georgia Tech right in the middle of things in this wild Coastal Division race.
2. Clemson run game. Remember the Tigers? Everyone seemingly forgot about these guys after the Florida State game, but they, too, are back after a bye for a Thursday night home game against Georgia Tech. Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins have been their normal selves, but Roderick McDowell's play in recent weeks could prove helpful against an option offense. McDowell has three touchdowns over his last two games, and he is averaging 95.75 yards per contest in his last four outings.
3. BC goes for bowl-eligibility. Boston College's turnaround in Year 1 under Steve Addazio has been among the nation's biggest surprises. Andre Williams carried the Eagles to their first road win of the season last week, and he will likely be relied upon again as BC goes for win No. 6 and tries to keep NC State winless in ACC play.
4. Marquise Williams. The North Carolina offense is his, and he did not disappoint last week in throwing, rushing and catching touchdowns for a win over Virginia. The Tar Heels are riding a three-game winning streak into Pittsburgh, where the Panthers ended Notre Dame's BCS bowl hopes last week.
5. Pitt's D looks for another strong outing. The Panthers played respectable defense against option offense in consecutive weeks -- good enough to win -- before finally breaking through in the win last week over the Irish. They forced three turnovers and now find themselves also a win away from a second-straight bowl berth under Paul Chryst if they can fend off UNC at Heinz Field.
6. Logan Thomas tries to finish out strong. Thomas answered his critics emphatically last week in a big win at Miami, as he connected on 25 of 31 passes for 366 yards with two touchdowns and no picks. He will look for another strong outing against Maryland on Senior Day, as he can help change the narrative around his career with the Hokies, who are also right in the middle of the cluttered Coastal Division race.
7. Syracuse D tries to slow down FSU. The Orange shut out Wake Forest and held Maryland to a field goal in last week's 20-3 road win. Now they, too, are -- tell me if you've heard this before -- a win away from bowl-eligibility, though the challenge will be just a bit more difficult Saturday against the No. 2 Seminoles.
8. Winston bouncing back. The first real test Jameis Winston faced all season? A negative off-field headline, which came Wednesday. There is no use speculating at this point, and Syracuse isn't Clemson or Miami. But how Winston responds to his first real dose of controversy will be a storyline that follows him for as long as the ongoing investigation lasts.
9. Can Miami ground game recover? One game without Duke Johnson yielded unfavorable results for the Hurricanes, who gained just 28 rushing yards as a team in the 42-24 home loss to Virginia Tech. Dallas Crawford led Miami with 37 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries, but he and the rest of the backfield will need to do more if the Canes hope to escape Durham with a win.
10. Duke's D looks to continue hot streak. The Blue Devils cannot stop turning the ball over on offense. Fortunately for them, their defense has turned a corner during this five-game winning streak, forcing eight turnovers themselves in their last two outings and giving up just 14.75 points per contest over their last four. Duke is 7-2 but wants more in a matchup with Miami that has major division implications, something that probably would have sounded laughable as far as a month back when looking ahead on the schedule.

My 3 year old was stung by a bee 6 days ago. We think it was a bee-she had pain and I think it was a stinger that was stuck in it. She swelled a tiny bit at the sting and had pain. We were at the ocean and kept it in cold water. After a few hours it was almost gone. Now, she woke up with a rash around the sting. The sting spot is red and a bit swollen. Is this normal??
I'm bumping up your post for attention. Anyone have experience to share? OP, do you have a health care provider that you can check with?

thanks happyhappymommy
So, in case this happens to anyone else-The rash was really itchy and red and a bit swollen for two days then I felt like it improved and then I could really see improvement. The only thing I did was give homeopathic Apis (may or may not have been the correct choice) and put ssssting stop on it. What I found out online was that it would be conserning if it did not get better but got worse. I also kept an eye out for other weirdness because you can have other reactions to bee stings, even way after the sting.

Xiact eat A. W. rely's Report oa the
Jstallatio# of 4'ilitary telegraph Lixes iN
rekas, 1875-1876 *
Edited by L. TUFFLY ELLIS
of the American Indian. After the Civil War white settlers
in ever-increasing numbers challenged the red men for
control of the short-grasslands from Texas to the Dakotas. The
Indians, mounted and armed with their enemies' fire-power, re-
sisted the settlers--at times successfully, at times unsuccessfully-
yet resisted persistently.'
In Texas the Indian danger to the frontiersman was accentu-
ated by geography. The frontier line ran from the Red River to
the Rio Grande, a distance of about 500 miles, and along the Rio
Grande, separating Texas from Mexico, for some 80o miles, or a
total distance of approximately 1300 miles. As a result of the
extended line, the settled portion of the state was subject to
attack on three sides; from the west, by Indians living within
Texas; from north of the Red River by raiding tribes from reser-
vations in the Indian Territory; and from the south, by marauding
bands from Mexico which crossed the Rio Grande.
From the time that Texas became a state up to the Civil War
the United States government established and maintained mili-
tary posts for the protection of the Texas frontier.2 After the war
neither the military forces nor the state government were able
adequately to cope with the raiding parties in the Southwest.

Border barrier
A border barrier is a wall, berm, or fence constructed to limit the movement of people across a certain line or border.[1][2] These structures vary in placement with regard to international borders and topography.
Famous examples include the Great Wall of China, a series of walls separating the Empire of China from nomadic powers to the north and the Mexico–United States barrier.

Barriers by country[edit]

In January 2006, Afghanistan's government decreed that the United Nations, the American embassy, and other foreign organizations in Kabul must clear concrete security barriers that protect their buildings. Most Kabul streets are full of security barriers and large concrete anti-blast blocks aimed at protecting against the insurgent and terrorist attacks that have risen in the past four years since the fall of the Taliban regime. The decree follows pressure from the newly formed Afghan parliament and public complaints over the heavy traffic jams caused by the barriers. The foreign groups are expressing concern and saying that the security situation does not permit that. The United Nations is one of the organizations concerned by the Afghan government's order. UN chief spokesman in Kabul Adrian Edwards said that security barriers are still required. "We are in a difficult security environment which certainly hasn't improved during 2005", Edwards said. "There have been a number of suicide attacks. Within the UN here, I think none of us would wish to be behind these barricades, we would prefer things could be open as we are in some other countries. However, there have been necessary for our security, that's why they are there." The Afghan government has said it is determined to remove all the barricades. The directive of the government says that "blocking the footpaths, streets, and roads is illegal" and that no one has the right to create obstructions, the only exception being the presidential palace.
In 2003, Botswana began building a 300-mile (480 km)-long electric fence along its border with Zimbabwe. The official reason for the fence is to stop the spread of foot-and-mouth disease among livestock. Zimbabweans argue that the height of the fence is clearly intended to keep out people. Botswana has responded that the fence is designed to keep out cattle, and to ensure that entrants have their shoes disinfected at legal border crossings. Botswana also argued that the government continues to encourage legal movement into the country. Zimbabwe was unconvinced, and the barrier remains a source of tension.[3]
Brazil has built huge concrete walls (up to 10 feet) serving as "eco-barriers'" to contain urban sprawl.[citation needed] Officials see it as a means of protecting the forest but critics maintain that it's a strategy for walling in and containing the city's favelas (slums). The critics argue that the eco-barriers are a cover for cleaning up the city in preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Brunei is building a security fence along its 20-km border with Limbang, Malaysia, to stop the flow of irregular migrants and smuggled goods.[citation needed]
In January 2014, Bulgaria started construction of a 30-kilometer long security fence along its border with Turkey to contain a surge of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa.[4] Standing 10 feet (3.0 m) tall and fortified with razor wire coils, the fence covers the least visible section of the border between the Lesovo border checkpoint and the village of Golyam Dervent. The Bulgarian Army completed the protective barrier in July 2014 at a cost of around €5 million.[5] As a result of the new fence, illegal crossing attempts in the vicinity of the installation have decreased by seven times. Turkey's Ambassador to Bulgaria Suleyman Gokce has expressed dissatisfaction with the border barrier adding that it creates discontent and gives reason to "reflect on the political message," that the fence is sending.[6]
At the beginning of 2015, the government announced a 130-kilometer extension to the barbed wire border fence in order to completely secure the land border. Prime Minister Boyko Borisov described the extension as "absolutely necessary," in order to prevent illegal persons from entering the European Union member state.[7] Bulgarian Parliament has decided to continue construction of the fence at the border with Turkey without launching a public procurement procedure because of the need to safeguard national security.[8]
China (Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions)[edit]
The People's Republic of China (PRC) has two Special Administrative Regions on its southeastern coast—Hong Kong and Macau, both of which maintain controlled intra-national borders with the neighbouring Guangdong province in Mainland China. An identity document is inspected when one crosses the border.
Hong Kong was a Dependent Territory of the UK until its sovereignty was handed over to the PRC in 1997, while Macau was a Special Territory of Portugal until its sovereignty was handed over to the PRC in 1999. Before the transfers of sovereignty back to the PRC, the Hong Kong–-Guangdong and Macau–Guangdong borders were regarded as international borders.
Under the principle of "One Country, Two Systems", the two Special Administrative Regions continue to maintain their own customs and immigration policies, which are independent of those in Mainland China after the handovers. Due to differences in the policies between the special administrative regions and the Mainland, the Hong Kong—Guandgong and Macau—Guangdong borders have been maintained in operation after the returns.
Hong Kong has a border stretching 32 km with the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone of Guangdong that features fences, thermal image sensors, lights and closed-circuit television. The border is also patrolled regularly by police. Just south of Shenzhen River (the geographical delimitation of the border) is a strip of rural land with restricted access, the 28 km² Closed Area. Currently, the four road border crossings are located at Sha Tau Kok, Man Kam To, Lok Ma Chau and Shenzhen Bay, and a railway and traveller crossing is located at Lo Wu. The residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are required to have their Hong Kong ID Cards inspected by the Hong Kong Immigration Department and their Home Return Permits inspected by the Public Security Bureau of Guangdong when they cross the border. Travelers from other countries and regions are required to present their passports or other types of travel documents for immigration clearance at both Hong Kong immigration checkpoints and Mainland China immigration ports.
Macau has been maintaining a 340-metre controlled border with Zhuhai City in Guangdong with a crossing available at the Border Gate (built in 1870).[9] The border crossing is equipped with 54 counters for travelers and 8 for vehicular traffic. Opened in 1999, Macau's Lotus Bridge supplemented what has been the only border crossing into mainland China through Border Gate. Both border crossings allow access to Zhuhai.
China (Mainland)[edit]
China, in October 2006, is also building a security barrier along its border with North Korea to prevent illegal immigrants.[10]

The Rafah Border Crossing (Arabic: معبر رفح, Hebrew: מעבר רפיח) is an international border crossing at Palestinian-controlled Rafah between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. It was built by the Israeli and Egyptian governments after the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty and confirmed after Israel's 1982 withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula. It was managed by the Israel Airports Authority until it was evacuated on 11 September 2005 as part of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, after which it fell on the European Union Border Assistance Mission Rafah (EUBAM) to monitor the crossing.
After having made an agreement with Frontex on the guard of the maritime borders of Greece with Turkey[11] the Greek government decided a wall to be built at the land border with Turkey, the Evros River.[12] These actions have been made as a reaction to the illegal immigration to Greece through the Greco-Turkish borders. These immigrants are originated from Muslim Asian and African states. From January to the beginning of November 2010, 32,500 illegal migrants were intercepted in a single 12.5-kilometer stretch of the Turkish-Greek border along the Evros River.[13] Actually this site is the main entrance of illegal immigrants to the EU from the Asian continent.[13] Illegal immigration is a current subject between the two countries.
Construction of a 175-km wall between Hungary and Serbia commences soon to stop illegal migration into the EU.[14]
Since the mid-1990s, India has been involved in the construction of some of the lengthiest border barriers along its international borders. Six of the nine countries neighboring India are classified as Least Developed Countries, and thus thousands of people from these countries—especially from Bangladesh, Nepal and Burma—illegally immigrate into India.
The Indo-Bangladeshi barrier and Indo-Burma barrier are being built to check smuggling, illegal immigration, and infiltration by Islamist terrorists. The refugee crisis could also ensue should a climate catastrophe ravage South Asia.
In addition, India completed the construction of the Indian-Kashmir barrier, which runs along the Line of Control in Kashmir. The purpose of this barrier is to prevent infiltration by armed militants. Many Kashmiris both in Jammu and Kashmir of India and Azad Kashmir in Pakistan opposed the barrier since Kashmir is a disputed territory.
The Iran-Pakistan barrier wall is 700 kilometers long, which Iran claims is to stop the flow of illegal border crossings, stem the flow of drugs and prevent terror attacks. However, the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan, whose lands straddle the border region, strongly opposed the barrier as the wall would divide the Baloch people politically and socially, with trade and social activities being seriously impeded.
Leader of the Opposition, Kachkol Ali, said the governments of the two countries had not taken the Baloch into their confidence on this matter[15] and demanded that construction be stopped immediately and he also appealed to the international community.[16] Residents of the Sorap locality in the Mand area of western Mekran region in Balochistan province rely on edible goods from Iran for their livelihood but Iranian border security forces vacate the town. According to BBC, "The Balochistanis, who live on both sides of the border and in the area where both countries neighbour Afghanistan, have had their communities divided by the wall."[17]
Due to Israel's specific security situation, as well as immigration concerns, border fences and walls have been utilized:
- Jerusalem: During the 1950s and 1960s a fortified separation barrier also divided much of Jerusalem to separate Jordanian and Israeli-controlled sectors of the city. It was pulled down in the immediate aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War, when the eastern part of the city came under Israeli rule. Currently, the route of the West Bank barrier in Jerusalem cuts off residents of the Jerusalem municipality from Jerusalem proper.[18]
- Lebanon and Syria: Israel's borders with Lebanon and Syria have sophisticated security barriers, including electronic surveillance and warning systems. The barrier along the Lebanese border follows the lines of the 1949 Armistice and was laid down in coordination with the UN, the government anxious to make clear that it had withdrawn completely from Lebanese territory (excepting the ongoing dispute on the Shaba Farms).
- The barrier on the Syrian border on the Golan Heights reflects the situation in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War, when Israel retained the territory conquered in 1967 except for handing back the town of Kuneitra. The Syrian government has repeatedly demanded the return of the entire Golan, but has made no specific issue of Israel erecting a security barrier along the border as it presently stands.
- Egypt: Israel saw no need to fortify the Sinai Desert border with Egypt after the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty. The fence along that border was always more a marker than an effective barrier, and has become rusty and swamped by shifting sand dunes. The porous border has become the scene of extensive drug trafficking and the smuggling of women, typically from Third World and East European countries, who are subsequently forced into prostitution, as well as the entry of various refugees, asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants from various African countries, notably Sudanese fleeing the genocide in Darfur and Erithreans fleeing due to compulsive military service. There were also isolated cases of infiltration by armed terrorists, and apprehension that they would increase. In December 2005 the government of Israel proposed building a £200 million security barrier along the Egyptian border, in 2013 Israel completed the bulk of the border with Egypt.
- Jordan: The border of Israel's territory with Jordan, mostly in the Arabah, is considered the most peaceful of the country's borders, due to traditional good relations with Jordan's Hashemite Dynasty. In addition to the Negev border, Israel and Jordan also share the West Bank's border with Jordan in the Jordan Valley. Along this border there is a security barrier with two purposes. It is designed to stop both infiltration from Jordan into the Israeli-controlled territory and the passage of West Bank Palestinians, uncontrolled by Israeli officials, into Jordan.
- The Israel–Gaza barrier involves a security barrier along Israel's 1949 Armistice lines. There was also the security barrier along the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt (originally Philadelphi Route, which later became the Egypt–Gaza barrier), erected when Israel was in direct military control of the area.
South Korea has constructed a border barrier between its territory and North Korea to obstruct any southward movement by the army of North Korea. The border features:[improper synthesis?]
The United Nations has constructed a demilitarized zone to stop Iraq from re-invading Kuwait; Kuwait plans to install a new border barrier as well.
The Moroccan Wall is an approximately 2,700 km-long structure, mostly a sand wall (or "berm"), running through the region of Western Sahara and the southeastern portion of Morocco. It acts as a barrier between the Moroccan-controlled areas (Southern Provinces) and the Polisario-controlled section of the territory - Free Zone or de facto the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic that lies along its eastern and southern border.
According to maps from MINURSO[19] or the UNHCR,[20] part of the wall extends several kilometers into internationally recognized Mauritanian territory.
Northern Ireland[edit]
In Belfast, Derry, and other settlements in Northern Ireland, barriers called "peace lines" have been built to separate the two main communities. Their purpose is to minimize inter-communal violence between Irish nationalists/republicans (who mainly self-identify as Irish and/or Catholic) and unionists/loyalists (who mainly self-identify as British and/or Protestant). They were first built following the 1969 riots and beginning of the "Troubles". They have continued to be built and expanded since the Belfast Agreement of 1998. In 2008 a public discussion began about how and when the barriers could be removed.[21] On 1 September 2011, Belfast City Council agreed to develop a strategy regarding the removal of peace walls.[22] At the end of 2011 several local community initiatives resulted in several interface structures being opened for a trial period.[23] In January 2012, the International Fund for Ireland launched a Peace Walls funding programme to support local communities who want to work towards removing the peace walls.[24]
In September 2005, Pakistan stated it has plans to build a 1,500-mile (2,400 km) fence along its border with Afghanistan to prevent Islamic insurgents and drug smugglers slipping between the two countries. Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has subsequently offered to mine the border as well.[25][26]
There is an electronic security barrier (ex-"Iron Curtain") along the old Soviet border. Also, a security barrier is on the border of Russia with Norway, Finland, China, Mongolia, and North Korea. There is no barrier on Russian territory along the border with Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, or Ukraine, but there are some barriers on the Estonian, Latvian sides. It was reported in 2005 that the Russian government was considering the construction of a security barrier along its internal border with Chechnya to combat terrorism.[27]
Saudi Arabia[edit]
Saudi Arabia has begun construction of a border barrier or fence between its territory and Yemen to prevent the unauthorized movement of people and goods. The Yemenis have been a source of trouble for the Saudis for many years; the difference between the countries' economic situations means that many Yemenis head to Saudi Arabia to find work. Saudi Arabia does not have a barrier with its other neighbors in the Gulf Cooperation Council, whose economies are similarly wealthy.
In 2006 Saudi Arabia proposed constructing a security fence along the entire length of its desert border of 900 kilometres (560 mi) with Iraq in a multimillion dollar project to secure the Kingdom's borders in order to improve internal security, control illegal immigration, and bolster its defences against external threats.[28]
As of July 2009 it was reported that Saudis will pay $3.5 billion for security fence.[29] The combined wall and ditch will be 600 miles long and include five layers of fencing, watch towers, night-vision cameras, and radar cameras and manned by 30,000 troops.[30]
South Africa[edit]
In 1975 a security fence of 120 kilometres (75 mi) was erected by South Africa to keep the violent revolution in Mozambique from spilling into Kruger National Park.[31] In 1990 it was reported:
|Concern is growing in South Africa over the country's use of a lethal, 3,300 volt one amp electrified fence on its borders with Mozambique and Zimbabwe. According to a report recently published by the South African Catholic Bureau for Refugees, the fence has caused more deaths in three years than the Berlin Wall did in its entire history. Local people call the fence the 'Snake of Fire'. There have been calls by South African church leaders over the past months for the fence to be switched off permanently. Most of its victims have been women and children fleeing the war in Mozambique. The Berlin Wall resulted in 80 deaths over 28 years. Official figures provided by the South African Defence Force (SADF) indicate that 89 people were electrocuted at the fence between August 1986 and August 1989. Church leaders dispute these figures, and claim that the true figure is nearer 200 each year.[32]
On December 9, 2002, by the presidents of South Africa, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe signed a treaty authorizing the fence to be torn down in order to re-open the ancient elephant migration route between South Africa and Mozambique. The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park of 35,000 square kilometres (14,000 sq mi) will connect the national parks of the three countries—South Africa's Kruger National Park, Mozambique's Limpopo National Park, and Zimbabwe's Gonarezhou National Park.[33]
In 2005 it was reported that only a relatively small portion of the high-security border fence separating South Africa's Kruger National Park with Zimbabwe's Gonarezhou Park had been removed. Security concerns, especially about illegal immigrants and the smuggling of weapons and four-wheel-drive vehicles, have been hindering the removal of more sections of the border fence.[34]
The European Union and Spain have constructed barriers between the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla and Morocco to prevent illegal immigration and smuggling.
Even though both the United Kingdom and Spain are part of the European Union, the border fence separating Gibraltar and Spain is still relevant because Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, is not part of the Schengen Area so remains outside of the customs union and VAT area. The border crossing is open twenty-four hours a day to facilitate customs collection by Spain.

Thailand plans to build a concrete fence along parts of its border with Malaysia to keep Muslim militants and dual citizens from crossing Thailand's southern border with Malaysia.
United Arab Emirates[edit]
The UAE is building a security barrier along its border with Oman.
United States[edit]
The United States has constructed a border barrier along 130 kilometres (81 mi) of its border with Mexico of 3,169 kilometres (1,969 mi) to prevent illegal immigration to the United States and to deter smuggling of contraband, particularly illegal drugs. There has been legislation in the U.S. Congress on lengthening the barrier, but progress has been slow due to lobbying and lack of funding.
In 1999 Uzbekistan began constructing a barbed wire fence to secure its border with Kyrgyzstan.
In 2001 Uzbekistan fortified the fence with Afghanistan.

Defunct barriers in modern times[edit]
- The Maginot Line, built between 1929 to 1938 by France on the French-German border as a defensive structure.
- Between Russia (Soviet Union) and Finland/Norway there was a fence on the Soviet side along the entire border (more than 1,000 km) during the Cold war. Along the Finnish border it was not so well guarded since Finland agreed to send back all Russians who escaped. The fence was located a few kilometers from the border, and still partly remains, even though the border controls are open now. Russian law still forbids crossing the border outside of a border station.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said on Monday his country was doing all it could in the U.S.-led war against terrorism and offered to fence and mine its border with Afghanistan to stem Taliban infiltration. "I have been telling Karzai and the United States, 'Let us fence the border and let us mine it.' Today I say it again. Let us mine their entire border. Let us fence it. It's not difficult", Musharraf said, referring to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Now the other thing that I've said: if he thinks everyone is crossing from here, I've been saying let us fence the border and let us also mine the border. We are experts at mining, they should mine the border on their side. We will fence it on our side. If that is all right I am for it, so that they are not allowed to go across at all. And then let us see what is happening in Afghanistan. Why don't they agree to this, I've said this openly many times before, they don't do it, for whatever are their reasons. I know how effective the fence, the Indian fence which is about 1,800 kilometres, and they are fencing the Kashmir mountains also, it is so difficult. Why are they doing that, are they mad, they are spending billions of rupees. Because it is effective. Let's fence this border so that this blame game is killed once for ever.

A throwback to a long-gone era even at the time of his recordings, Pink Anderson (1900-74) was a historic figure whose music included blues, folk music, ragtime, and traditional ballads.
Anderson was born in South Carolina and early on sang in the streets for pennies. He was self-taught as a guitarist and toured throughout the Southeast with a variety of medicine shows during 1915-1945, picking up work wherever he could. He was employed not only as a musician and a singer but as a dancer and comedian. Anderson recorded four titles in 1928 but did not make another record until Harlem Street Spirituals in 1950 for Riverside. At that time he recorded such traditional folk material as John Henry, The Ship Titanic, and Wreck of the Old 97.
Anderson continued to work at parties, street fairs, and medicine shows during the first half of the 1950s before retiring for a time due to ill health. But in 1961 the Bluesville label recorded three albums of unaccompanied performances by Anderson, documenting him in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The titles of the three records, Carolina Blues Man, Medicine Show Man, and Ballad & Folksinger, vol. 3, sum up Pink Andersons life well and are a large slice of the repertoire that he had performed during the previous 35 years.
Pink Anderson stayed active on a part-time basis up until the time of his death in 1974. His music represents the Carolina blues, and the tradition of the constantly traveling folk singer.
