According to to Yuengling: the History of America’s Oldest Brewery, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) was designed to, in the words of then-Governor Gifford Pinchot, make liquor sales “as inconvenient and expensive as possible.” The PLCB is the state agency with sole control over the distribution and sale of alcohol in Pennsylvania. State House Republicans agree with Gov. Pinchot and have been arguing that it is time to privatize the PLCB. They charge that the agency is “archaic” and losing money. Supporters of the PLCB argue that privatization would result in higher prices for consumers and the loss of well-paying Pennsylvania jobs. While the PLCB does have some inherent features making it harder to buy alcohol, the best option for the citizens of Pennsylvania is a modernized PLCB.

For two years, the State of New Hampshire has worked to institutionalize the option of dam removal. The high gradient streams that flow through the granite hills and mountains of this small northeastern state provided ideal conditions for dam construction, particularly during AmericaÕs Industrial Revolution of the 1800s when mills were constructed throughout the area. With more than 4,800 dams in the stateÕs database, there are many opportunities for the removal of dams that no longer serve a useful purpose, have become a public safety hazard and impact the river environment. Efforts to facilitate removal of dams in New Hampshire include the formation of a River Restoration Task Force and the creation of a dam removal program within the state agency responsible for regulating dams. This has led to the removal of two dams in the past year, with approximately ten additional projects in various stages of planning. A history of this agency-led initiative, as well as a discussion of the programÕs strengths, challenges and goals for the future are presented.

Abstract: The Controversy of Perppu Formation No. 1 in 2013 on the Constitutional Court in The Realm Emergency Force. The Placement of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law in the hierarchy of laws and regulations has the fluctuated time. This is an evident from the history of legislation in Indonesia, which puts Perppu on one side are on equal footing the law. The position change is caused due Perppu materially the same as the Act, and there are not formally Perppu Act but closer to the bill that implemented the Act because like the precarious conditions that force. The controversy also sparked debate later, whether the Court has the right to test Perppu or not, was the Parliament also has the authority to accept or reject the nearest Perppu during the trial. As for Perppu No. 1 of 2013 on the Constitutional Court established by the President to rescue the Court assessed by some not qualified in the realm crunch that forced, and even tended to be unconstitutional. However, some others assess in contrary has Perppu urgency to restore the name of the state agency that became the guardian of the constitution. Abstrak: Kontroversi Pembentukan Perppu No. 1 Tahun 2013 Tentang Mahkamah Konstitusi Dalam Ranah Kegentingan Yang Memaksa. Penempatan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang dalam hierarki peraturan perundangundangan dari masa ke masa bersifat fluktuatif. Terlihat dari sejarah peraturan perundang-undangan yang menempatkan Perppu di satu sisi berada setara dengan undang-undang dan di sisi lain berada di bawah undang-undang. Hal ini disebabkan karena secara materiil Perppu sama dengan undang-undang, dan secara formil Perppu bukanlah undang-undang, tetapi lebih dekat kepada RUU yang dilaksanakan laksana undang-undang karena kondisi genting yang memaksa. Perdebatan yang muncul, apakah MK berhak menguji Perppu atau tidak, sedang DPR juga memiliki kewenangan untuk menerima atau menolak Perppu pada masa sidang terdekat. Begitu pula halnya Perppu No. 1 tahun 2013 tentang MK yang dibentuk oleh Presiden guna penyelamatan MK dinilai oleh tidak memenuhi syarat dalam ranah kegentingan yang memaksa, bahkan cenderung inkonstitusional. Akan tetapi sebagian menilai sebaliknya, Perppu ini memiliki urgensitas guna memulihkan nama lembaga negara yang menjadi pengawal konstitusi ini DOI: 10.15408/jch.v1i1.1454

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.

Portugal has port, Spain has sherry, Sicily has Marsala –– and California has angelica. Angelica is California's original wine: The intensely sweet, fortified dessert cordial has been made in the state for more than two centuries –– primarily made from Mission grapes, first brought to California by the Spanish friars. Angelica was once drunk in vast quantities, but now fewer than a dozen vintners make angelica today. These holdouts from an earlier age are each following a personal quest for the real. For unlike port and sherry, which have strict rules about their production, angelica never gelled into something so distinct that connoisseurs can say, ““This is angelica. This is not.”” This piece looks at the history of the drink, its foggy origins in the Mission period and on through angelica's heyday and down to its degeneration into a staple of the back-alley wino set. Several current vintners are profiled, and they suggest an uncertain future for this cordial.

The Moment

This publication is devoted to one of the episodes of I. A. Ilyin’s activity in the period “between two revolutions”. Before the October revolution, the young philosopher was inspired by the events of February 1917 and devoted a lot of time to speeches and publications on the possibility of building a new order in the state. The published archive text indicates that the development of Ilyin’s doctrine “on legal consciousness” falls precisely at this tragic moment in the history of Russia.

This paper intervenes in orthodox under-standings of Aotearoa New Zealand’s colonial history to elucidate another history that is not widely recognised. This is a financial history of colonisation which, while implicit in existing accounts, is peripheral and often incidental to the central narrative. Undertaking to reread Aotearoa New Zealand’s early colonial history from 1839 to 1850, this paper seeks to render finance, financial instruments, and financial institutions explicit in their capacity as central agents of colonisation. In doing so, it offers a response to the relative inattention paid to finance as compared with the state in material practices of colonisation. The counter-history that this paper begins to elicit contains important lessons for counter-futures. For, beyond its implications for knowledge, the persistent and violent role of finance in the colonisation of Aotearoa has concrete implications for decolonial and anti-capitalist politics today.
