  • The Biopolitics and Geopolitics of Border Enforcement in Melilla
    The biopolitics and geopolitics of border enforcement in Melilla By: Corey Johnson and Reece Johnson Johnson, C., & Jones, R. (2018). The biopolitics and geopolitics of border enforcement in Melilla. Territory, Politics, Governance 6(1), 61-80. https://doi.org/10.1080/21622671.2016.1236746 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Territory, Politics, Governance on 06 October 2016, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/21622671.2016.1236746. ***© 2016 Regional Studies Association. Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Taylor & Francis. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: This article uses the multiple and contradictory realities of Melilla, a pene-enclave and -exclave of Spain in North Africa, to draw out the contemporary practice of Spanish, European Union, and Moroccan immigration enforcement policies. The city is many things at once: a piece of Europe in North Africa and a symbol of Spain’s colonial history; an example of the contemporary narrative of a cosmopolitan and multicultural Europe; a place where extraterritorial and intraterritorial dynamics demonstrate territory’s continuing allure despite the security challenges and the lack of economic or strategic value; a metaphorical island of contrasting geopolitical and biopolitical practices; and a place of regional flows and cross-border cooperation between Spain, the EU, and Morocco. It is a border where the immunitary logic of sovereign territorial spaces is exposed through the biopolitical practices of the state to ‘protect’ the community from outsiders.

After analysis of those responses, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) selected the towns that showed the greatest social and economic interdependence to define the extent of The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area. The OMB uses a Micropolitan Statistical Area to present local and regional data so that it reflects the actual behaviors of its residents. The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area is an economically integrated region of 25 contiguous towns that spans four counties in two states.

  • Official List of Public Waters
    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Failure to Record Rights Under NPACA 1949 in the West Riding
    NFBA Paper 2, March 2007 Failure to record rights under NPACA 1949 in the West Riding The lack of higher rights of way on the present-day definitive maps in the metropolitan boroughs in West Yorkshire can be directly attributed to manipulation of the recording procedure by West Riding County Council in the 1950s and 60s. It is not that the true status of routes was not known, or that evidence did not exist, or that people did not claim bridleways and RUPPs. There was a deliberate decision by the county council – and colluded in by some of the district councils – to reduce the public maintenance liability by altering the status of bridleways and RUPPs shown on the draft map to footpaths on the provisional map. This is well documented for the West Riding. The relevant files are available in the West Yorkshire Archives HQ at Wakefield, but the following extracts reveal what happened. 1 Routes that were recorded as cart roads (CRFs and CRBs) on the walking schedule prepared by the district councils were initially recorded as RUPPs on the draft map. 2 This was then advertised. At the end of the consultation process, the county council became concerned at the potential maintenance liability of the recorded footpaths and bridleways, and circulated the following memo: . where the width of any public path has been shown . greater than normal, i.e. that any footpath included in the Statement accompanying the Draft Map which is shown therein at a width not exceeding 6 feet, be retained but all footpaths having greater widths than 6 feet should be changed to 4 feet; likewise that all bridleways (normally considered to be 8 feet wide) which are shown of greater width than 10 feet should be reduced to the standard 8 feet.

  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.
