	Blockade! The Blockading of the Southern Seaports in the Civil War
		In a blockade by notification, knowledge is held to have been acquired when sufficient time has elapsed for the notice to have been generally received; and after this time a neutral vessel, by sailing for the blockaded port, has committed an offence and incurred a penalty.
		With a blockade that is purely de facto, on the other hand, knowledge must be obtained on the station, and neutrals have a right to sail for the port and to be warned off on their arrival.
		Whether a blockade is initiated as a blockade by notification or as a blockade de facto, the indispensable condition of its establishment is the presence of a force at the blockaded port.

	Drug Policy Alliance: Narcotic Blockade
		The essential condition for establishing a narcotic blockade without producing euphoria or other disabling effects is that the dose of methadone always be small in relation to the tolerance of the patient.
		This degree of blockade, therefore, would not effectively eliminate the appeal of heroin if the drug were available on the streets in sufficient quantity.
		Blockade is established by gradual increase in dosage to a stabilization level; thereafter the dose of methadone remains constant.

	DVD Savant Review: Blockade
		Blockade is a title I could not resist, not because it was supposed to be good, but because of its status as a famous propaganda effort and its later relationship to the HUAC witch hunts.
		Blockade is an okay thriller that makes an emotional appeal but doesn't begin to make a rational case against the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War.
		Then there's the issue of the blockade, in which someone is tipping off the submarines (manned by curious sailors from some indefinite country, certainly not Germany) that torpedo the relief ships.

		The end of the Berlin blockade on May 12 turned out to be a happy and fitting coincidence and climax for the soldier-statesman who had guided US policy in occupied Germany for almost four years.
		Upon learning of the Soviet agreement to end the blockade, Clay advocated that the airbridge at least not be abandoned prior to and throughout the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers.
		Clay did not believe the Soviets would reinstitute the blockade, but he believed the continuation of the airlift to build up reserves of food and fuel was sound policy, and this was agreed to by Washington.

	3.5 Blockade State
		Each element of blockade state consists of a blockade flowspec Qb taken from the flowspec of the ResvErr message, and an associated blockade timer Tb.
		A corresponding blockade timer Tb(P) (or Tb(S)) is started or restarted for a time Kb*R. Here Kb is a fixed multiplier and R is the refresh interval for reservation state.
		The blockaded reservations are ignored; this allows forwarding of a smaller reservation that has not failed and may perhaps succeed, after a larger reservation fails.

		The game's environments also look nice--Operation Blockade's missions can take place at dawn, in the afternoon, dusk, and at night, and in each case, the sky will be lit by either sunlight or moonlight that reflects off the game's good-looking animated oceans and clouds.

		Operation Blockade actually has a lot of different missions to play through, but they're basically all just more of the same.

	Walter Lippmann, "Blockade Proclaimed," New York Herald Tribune, 25 October 1962
		As of the present moment we do not know whether the orders are to turn away from Cuba, to proceed and submit to search, or to proceed and to refuse to submit to search.
		The second way is to institute a total blockade, particularly of oil shipments, which would in a few months ruin the Cuban economy.
		For all these resons I say that an agreement of this sort may be doable and that there may exist a way out of the tyranny of automatic and uncontrollable events.
