	P.O.V. - Borders . Border Talk. Dan Stein \| PBS
		Borders are limits that provide the center of gravity for personal and community action, even in the charitable realm: discriminatory altruism — practiced by all charitable entities — is effective because it promotes the conservation of resources.
		Borders form the basis of social cohesion, social action and the maintenance of social justice, for the efficient allocation of natural and material resources, for sustaining societal action — indeed the entire frame of reference for democratic action.
		Borders are important in the modern nation state; indeed as Vattel said in his Law of Nations, control over borders is the very definition of sovereignty.

	Some Conceptual Issues in the Study of Borders and Surveillance
		Borders which serve one group’s interest (and are functional for it) may of course be challenged by those whose interests are not served and for whom the border is dysfunctional.
		Border breakers may also involve physical (e.g., explosives, night vision or decryption technology) or cultural factors (e.g., search warrants, self-disclosure and notice rules), as well as combinations (e.g., the voluntary 11 offering of information on customs declarations forms and electronic and chemical searches of persons and luggage at international borders).
		The borders determining issues of ritual pollution such as being in another’s shadow, touching higher status persons and their objects, or looking directly at the ruler might usefully be contrasted with those involving literal pollution or contamination (the isolation of those with contagious diseases or the sanitary zones of a hospital or manufacturing facility).

	Wired News: Obstacles, or On the Edge?
		Borders and boundaries are endemic in life, and it is clear that the level of complexity achieved by living organisms and societies depends critically on the establishment of borders.
		Borders are everywhere and not all borders are physical.
		The role of a border is seen to be more subtle: a border is not just a wall, but a filter, providing the context for a diffusion of information, and setting the stage for creativity and innovation at the interface between two people, two cultures, or two countries.

	Establishing Field Borders to Improve Wildlife Habitat
		Field borders should be located along woodland edges, fence rows and drainages wherever grazing is not practiced or planned, to create a vegetative transition between other types of cover.
		Borders created by cutting back forest edge have the advantage of not reducing the amount of land that is already open.
		If natural borders seem undesirable (perhaps from an aesthetic standpoint), nursery grown shrubs provide an option and the results are more reliable.

		One is to produce a "natural" fl border, like those often seen in the days of contact prints; the other requires you to buy a special-effects easel or make a mask for your present easel.

		The fl border will be surrounded by a larger white border where the blades of your easel mask off the edges of the print paper.

		Border conflicts are unfortunately still common in parts of Africa—witness the Eritrea-Ethiopia conflict of 1998—2000.
		Borders were decided arbitrarily by colonialists using simple geographic features rather than ecosystems’ structures and human and wildlife movements.
		There have been conflicts—e.g., the Kenya-Somalia border, with Somalia demanding all territory where Somali people are resident, and the Malawi-Tanzania border, which is on the edge and not the mid-line of Lake Nyasa and Lake Malawi.

		The encroachment of human activity into a natural area creates more "edge effects." Edge effects are changes in environmental conditions and animal behavior and well-being that result from being in close proximity to the border between habitat areas.
		While borders between two different habitats are often an essential part of the ecology of an area, when habitat becomes so small that it is all edge and no interior, it loses its ability to support those species that require an isolated interior for some portion of their life (e.g.
		Natural resource features that are vital to human and wildlife well-being are a community's "green infrastructure." Consideration of these landscape features in open space and habitat conservation plans is essential to comprehensive natural resource planning.

		If we define a natural country as one in which the people have a common language and cultural history, with borders [peacefully] drawn by them and their neighbors, then the world contains more than 10,000 natural countries.
		Maybury's definition of a "natural country" comes close to the modern anthropolgist's definition of "ethnic group" found in the 1992 NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA: "a group of people with a common ancestry and language, a shared cultural and historical tradition, and an identifiable territory."
