	Govts battle with land reform
		As in Zimbabwe, the vast majority of land in South Africa and Namibia is owned by white farmers, descendants of settlers who under colonial rule were given choice land.
		White farmers own 80% of arable land in South Africa and the government's objective is to ensure that 30% of that land is in the hands of fl farmers by 2014, 20 years after the end of apartheid.
		In Namibia, land reform is shaping up as a hot-button issue in the run up to the November 15 and 16 elections after the government told about 15 white farmers in May and June to set a price to sell their property to the state.

		Basing itself on the Land and Agrarian Development Law, which forces all latifundistas who have land-holdings that are 80% unused to prove their title to this land, the National Institute of Land (INTI) has begun to move against 21 latifundistas.
		In the case of lands that have been confiscated so far, none of the so-called owners have been able to prove their legal title to the land.
		The land reform is helping to strengthen the social base of the Bolivarian revolution by attempting to improve the conditions of life for the poor, most of whom live in the city barrios.

	Battle over land sales - Springfield amassing Blandford property
		Officials from the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission, which took over management of the reservoir and related lands when the agency was created in 1996, say the land is in the watershed or catchment area for water draining into the reservoir, even though in some cases that body of water is several miles away.
		Jane Rohman, whose house is ''completely surrounded'' by land owned by the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission, moved to Blandford with her husband, John Bianco, to operate an Internet-based business.
		The agency, which took over land acquisition after being created in 1996, added another 1,000 acres to the inventory in 2001 and 2002, according to the records she provided.

	reviewjournal.com -- News: Shoshone sisters' battle over land divides tribe
		What divides the Western Shoshones is the very thing that once sustained them: the 24 million acres of land their ancestors settled, and the question of who owns it today.
		They argue the 1863 treaty was a peace accord that only granted settlers access to their territory and that it defines, not cedes, their title by describing the area "claimed and occupied" by the tribe.
		The commission ruled that the Shoshones had lost their land by the "gradual encroachment" of white settlers and that aboriginal title had been extinguished.

	Venezuela: Land Reform Battle Deepens - Worldpress.org
		Basing itself on the Land and Agrarian Development Law, which forces all latifundistas who have land-holdings that are 80 percent unused to prove their title to this land, the National Institute of Land (I.N.T.I.) has begun to move against 21 latifundistas.
		Before Chavez was first elected president in 1998, 75 percent of agricultural land, generally the most fertile, was owned by 5 percent of the country’s 25 million people, while 75 percent of agricultural land owners shared 6 percent of arable land.
		What the big capitalists who fund and lead the opposition really fear is that the deepening of the land reform project is directly attacking the structures of economic domination upon which they have based their political rule over the country.

	CBC Manitoba - Farmers, conservationists battle over prairie land (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Harv Nichol, who runs a beef herd in the municipality, says land that used to be valued at between $150 and $200 an acre now costs between $250 and $300 an acre – and he blames Nature Conservancy Canada for the jump.
		Land acquired by the group is maintained in a natural condition, he says, which includes offering some land to local farmers for grazing.
		Moore says the group acquires land using various types of purchasing agreements, and by securing conservation agreements with landowners to keep the land in a natural condition for a certain amount of money or a tax donation.

	INGLES GRANMA INTERNACIONAL DIGITAL, CUBA
		By 1967, after the Tribal Trust Lands Act replaced that of the Native Reserves, 4.5 million fls (seven-tenths of the population) had been forcibly removed from their home areas and crowded onto infertile land.
		And so, in 1997, Mugabe’s government took the only option left: to compulsorily acquire land for redistribution, declaring: “It is not the intention of the government to drive white commercial farmers off the land.
		In April 2000, Mugabe’s government moved further and adopted a constitutional provision authorizing the government to acquire land without compensation, while envisaging that compensation would be paid by the UK, which after all had collected the revenue from the same land when it was grabbed by the BSAC in 1890.

	Air vs Land Battle
		Air, land, and sea combat are all starkly different, and the members of these components spend the majority of their careers honing the skills of their respective professions.
		Just as unpalatable as it would be for a ground commander to acquiesce authority for fire and maneuver of his forces to an airman, it is equally unacceptable to airmen for a ground commander to presume control of airpower.
		For example, two supporting ground battles, an interdiction operation, and a deception operation could all support a separate decisive ground battle." The Army's preoccupation with the decisiveness of ground battle, relegating other combat elements to supporting roles, tends to shorten its perspective of depth to the close battle.

		The question is not whether there's land reform but when and how it takes place, and whether it is a democratic process in which the rural poor of Zimbabwe actually benefit from land reform or whether or not it turns out to be to the benefit of the elite.

	Chapter 3 - The Battle and Land Use of Monroe's Crossroads
		Lofifield (1979:28) noted that the deed transferring the property to the Blues recorded the land as lying on both sides of Morganton Road on the east side of Nicholson Creek at the confluence of White Marsh and Nicholson Creek.
		The Battle of Monroe's Crossroads was not a planned engagement, but one of happenstance for both combatant groups.
		The Confederate order of battle (Figure 7) is somewhat of a mystery, due either to the inadequacy of record keeping at the time or to the loss of the records in the waning days of the war.
