This Naruto paper model is a nice change of pace in that it was created from scratch rather than being based on a 3D model ripped from a video game like most papercraft figures are these days. I especially like the ornery look on Naruto's face. ^^ The papercraft template for this model may be downloaded here. Also available are the Naruto characters Sakura and Sasuke.
On the one hand, the idea of Dalek paper dolls seems a little absurd, but on the other hand there is something about them I find a little amusing. These well executed Dalek paper dolls are the creation of DeviantART member, MadunTwo-Swords. The dolls may be downloaded here. Madun also offers many other Doctor Who cutouts to amaze and delight.
Zoids began in the early 80's as a toy line introduced by the Japanese toy company, Tomy. Since that time the franchise has grown to include TV shows, video games and manga. Zoids are living robotic war machines modeled after various animals. This papercraft Command Wolf Zoid is the fan art creation of Imam Sujugo. PDF and Pepakrua PDO templates for the model may be downloaded here.
One of the most memorable characters from the animated film, My Neighbor Totoro is the Catbus, a enormous grinning cat whose hollow body serves as a bus. This Catbus paper toy was created a work of fan art by Totoro enthusiast, Hiyochico. A PDF file for the toy may be downloaded here. A more sculptural paper model of the Catbus was previously posted here. Word has it that the six-legged sky bison on Avatar the Last Airbender was modeled after the Catbus!
In the final battle scene in Star Wars: Episode 1, the inhabitants of Naboo make use of bright yellow N-1 starfighters to defend their planet. This 1:60 scale paper model of a Naboo starfighter was created by Czech designer, BaJ. I like the fact the template for the model is hand drawn. It reminds me a lot of the paper model patterns that were published in the old ABC Magazine (a Czech publication for children). The instructions for the model detail how to glue foil to the front of the starfighter to give the metallic look it has in the photo. A PDF download of the starfighter is available here.
Many of us were saddened by the passing of musician David Bowie this week. As a tribute to Bowie, DeviantART member Scarykurt created a paper toy entitled "Love you Bowie". The toy is based on the cubee method of paper toy construction, so no glue is required. The JPG template for the toy is available for download here. Rest in peace Major Tom!
What were tabletop RPG games like before papercraft was introduced? A lot less fun, I'd say. :) Eddnic at Fantasy Paper Miniature runs one of the best websites for free 2.5D printables for miniature gaming. This white dragon is but one example of his work. The template for the dragon may be downloaded here. Build photo by DeviatART member Cavyman.
Ray at Ravensblight is the undisputed master of "haunted" papercraft. The list of haunted paper models he has created includes houses, mansions, ships, cars, a chapel, a train, and a carousel! This papercraft lighthouse, however, is my favorite to date. The PDF template for the model may be downloaded here.
In a 1966 episode of the original Star Trek TV show ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"), Captain Kirk can be seen toting a somewhat odd looking rifle. For those of us who are fond of such retro sci-fi weapons, Perry's Paper offers a free 1/3 scale printable paper model of the gun. In the Star Trek universe, the technical name for such a gun is a "type 3 phaser", but in most cases it is referred to simply as a "phaser rifle".

I was very pleased to be selected again to read at the Flash Fiction Forum in San Jose. It was a delightful evening. I read an older piece, About My Mother, which I had not performed before. It originally appeared in Prick of the Spindle. I really enjoyed the pieces read by my fellow flashers!
Notice how the red dots on my pin match the red dots on the art behind me.
I had a fabulous time. If you live in the San Jose area and like Flash Fiction, you should check out this series.


A few weeks before Casper started his race, the Makhado Care Group requested a letter of support from Alex Harris. This was read out to Casper at the Makhado Care Group fund raising dinner on th 15th June 2012.

5G Success Depends on New Operator Partnerships and Services
by Michael OBrien | Dec 23, 2019 | Connectivity | 0 comments
This article originally appeared in GCCM Magazine and is republished here with permission.
This year, a major technology shift has finally begun. After many years of development, the first commercial rollouts of 5G have started. This technology's capabilities promise to empower a bold new era of mobile that will enable things like self-driving cars, self-monitoring buildings, wearable items, and industrial product sensors, just to name a few. And all of this will be connected to the next generation of mobile networks.
To take a closer look at what this new future will mean, Syniverse recently conducted a study to assess one of the big unknowns with 5G: How will mobile operators actually begin to make use of 5G to provide new services for companies, and how important a part will these services play in operators' business models? To find this out, we partnered with Heavy Reading to complete a global survey of operators and better understand their 5G preparations, and the results were surprising.
New Partnerships, New Services
The findings point to some key implications for the first steps that operators will need to monetize 5G. Specifically, to cultivate 5G business services, operators will need to be able to engage with customers, third-party service providers, application developers and device partners across a range of industries. Only then will they be able to collaborate in diverse ways to co-create the services required to meet the needs of different industries.
In fact, a big part of 5G's commercial success will depend on the formation of new partnerships and services in industries outside the mobile industry's tried-and-tested consumer markets. For these partnerships and services to succeed, mobile operators must invest in and put in place the technologies and processes to monetize these services, and they must ensure that every contributor and external partner in the value chain gets their fair share of revenue.
This collaboration is imperative if operators are to properly monetize 5G and maximize their return on investment in it. However, these new ecosystems also present new challenges for operators. Here's a look at two of them, and two solutions for them informed by our study findings.
Quick and Versatile 5G Ecosystems
The advantages to having a 5G ecosystem of many players include enabling scale, encouraging innovation and supporting specialization. Mobile operators, however, are generally bound to their home country, and even the bigger players in a domestic market don't have the capacity to create and then manage ecosystems on a global scale.
But, when asked about the challenges of developing and running ecosystems, respondents in the Heavy Reading operator survey identified coordinating multiple partners as a primary challenge (74 percent).
One answer to this challenge lies in the use of an online marketplace, where providers of devices, subsystems and services can all offer their products to third parties seeking to create 5G offerings for businesses.
A marketplace approach lets developers and service providers reach customers at lower cost and with shorter lead time. It offers operators and third-party partners an easy and flexible way to create 5G services for business customers. They can pick and choose the components and functionality that they need to create a service or solution from specialist suppliers.
For operators, in particular, an online marketplace platform offers these capabilities:
Sourcing of service components from the marketplace – An operator, for example, that wants to expand in the oil and gas sector could source specialized, preapproved sensor devices, or an operator seeking to scale up an IoT service internationally could source an industrial device with embedded roaming connectivity.
Offering of connectivity services to other providers – A vending machine company, smart meter company or automotive company, for example, could purchase national 5G connectivity for their devices to include in the sale to a customer.
In these ways, online marketplaces offer a powerful option to open the addressable business market for operators. They can also radically lower the costs of creating industry-specific and customer-specific 5G business services.
New Technology for 5G Clearing and Settlement: Blockchain
Monetization among partners was one of the main challenges cited by operators in the survey when asked about 5G services. On that point, 83 percent of respondents identified the security and immutability of charging and billing as their principal challenge when collaborating with others on 5G services.
To monetize a 5G ecosystem, each partner involved in delivering a service will need to be able to accurately charge for its contribution toward that service in a way that's quick and low-cost, but also accurate and secure.
One solution that has emerged to meet these requirements is blockchain. In a blockchain process, a growing list of records, called "blocks," are recorded, and the data is instantly and automatically duplicated onto all other connected computers on the blockchain. Because records can only be added using rules agreed to among the participants, they can't be circumvented by individual actors, and the data becomes part of a reliable, unbreakable "chain" of trust.
In this way, blockchain has the potential to provide a new global network of secure distributed databases, and "smart contracts" that allow monetization of any transaction and independent, third-party validation of charges. And this capability makes it ideally suited to undergird new 5G marketplaces.
In fact, operators have already begun integrating blockchain for roaming service settlement and reported significant improvements in the time it takes to settle accounts at month-end, greater confidence in the accuracy of accounts, and, consequently, fewer disputes. The next stage is to extend blockchain to the universal clearing and settlement of multiple technologies – from LTE and 5G to Wi-Fi and multiple IoT connectivity options – among multiple partners both in and outside of the operator space.
New Era of 5G Services
While this year marked a major one for 5G, its rollout continues to accelerate. It will continue to play a bigger and bigger role in our future, where more and more facets of the world will be integrated with and powered by mobile. To realize this future, operators will need to cultivate new 5G business services with customers, third-party service providers, application developers and device partners across a range of industries. Our findings show that these steps are crucial if operators are to properly monetize 5G and maximize their return on investment in it.

Universal and Relativity land underwater actioner.
Relativity Media and Universal Pictures have teamed up to acquire the domestic rights to Sanctum, James Cameron's 3-D underwater survival action film. Relativity's Rogue label will distribute the movie.
Deadline Hollywood has the report, noting that "every studio tried to get this film but Jim Cameron went with RML/Uni." Cameron will executive-produce, with Sanctum using the same Cameron/Pace Fusion Camera system for 3-D technology that the helmer used to shoot Avatar.
Written by Andrew Wight (Ghosts of the Abyss) and John Garvin (the Syphon Filter videogame series), the film is said to be about father and son deep-sea divers who are exploring the ocean when a crisis occurs.
The film will be low-budget by Cameron standards, costing about $30 million to make. Cameron "personally" selected Australian director Alister Grierson (Kokoda) to direct Sanctum, which will start shooting in Australia's Queensland/Gold Coast before the end of the year.

Brandon Shuman the play making defensive back from Towson University recently sat down with NFL Draft Diamonds writer Justin Berendzen
Name: Brandon Shuman
College: Towson University
Twitter: @DhatFlyGuy15
How are you planning on preparing for the draft?
I am going to do a combine style training along with position specific drills to help my craft and display my athleticism for all the evaluators.
What are your favorite moments from your football life?
My favorite moments are proving my doubters wrong and playing in big time games.
What sets you apart from other defensive backs?
My speed, instinct, coverage skills and most of all my mindset on tackling. As a corner you don't see a lot of them wanting to tackle. I love physical contact. That is what sets me apart from other cornerbacks.
What do you think are the keys to success on the football field?
As far as a defensive back I feel it's assignment, alignment, and annihilate. You go out there and execute on those three things you will be fine.
If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day who and why?
Patrick Peterson. The reason is because he's always been my favorite player since I was in middle school. I love his work ethic and I would always try to mimic his game.
What type of energy do you bring onto the football field?
My game brings the energy and that's just aggressive and feisty. Don't get me wrong also bring the dog out of my teammates.
What do you love about the game of football?
I love everything about football, the players, the brotherhood, the game, and support. There isn't one thing I can say I hate about football.
How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?
I handle both challenges relax, try to figure out what is going on, and stick things through.
What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?
To be honest me being from Miami the only sport to play is football so seeing all my friends and cousins play football that is what inspired me to play.
What would a team get in a player like you?
A team would be getting a humble, outgoing, hardworking, all around athlete who loves the game of football.
What are you hoping to achieve as a football player going forward?
To make to the NFL somehow, someway and become one of the greatest.
What should we know about Brandon Shuman the person?
I am a Miami kid who always had the dream of playing in the NFL and is going to do whatever it takes to make that come true.

Group aims to soften effect of The Pillars
By Stephen Taylor April 26, 2016 No Comments5 Mins Read
Concept plan: An artist's view of The Pillars showing a 25-space car park, walking paths, look out and access points.
FED up with having cars parked across their driveways, rubbish strewn in streets and on lawns, and 20-somethings wandering the streets urinating behind bushes, "concerned residents" in Mt Martha have formed The Pillars Residents Action Group.
Theirs is a campaign from the heart, and they are determined to protect their little piece of paradise from what's become a marauding herd of young people invading the once-pristine shoreline – in ever-growing numbers.
As part of their campaign, the group successfully requested young people's tourism website AWOL – which had listed "Jumping off The Pillars" as one of the 'Top 20 things to do' on the Mornington Peninsula – to remove reference to the site from their web page. The site had claimed to reach "over two million young and engaged Australians every month".
Another possible catalyst to their campaign was the ripping out of six no-parking signs by disgruntled young motorists looking for easy places to park.
Up to 800 young people visited The Pillars one day last summer for some 'cool' fun in the sun, swimming in the clear waters and jumping off the rock formations. It's a pattern repeated every warm day and most weekends over summer, and spurred on by favourable comments on social media.
"Our group formed in response to the current situation where high numbers of non-local young people are coming to the area to jump off the rocky cliffs," group member Sue Davey said.
"They are parking illegally, leaving rubbish everywhere – including in Lily Gully reserve at the bottom of Deakin Drive – and generally causing havoc in streets nearby."
The residents' group is not satisfied with Mornington Peninsula Shire's proposal to lift the current 'no parking' restrictions in many local streets.
"For residents in these streets, this is unacceptable," Ms Davey said. "There are no formal pathways or crossings to get to The Pillars, no bins, many roads are narrow and unsealed and there are no toilets or facilities."
A shire traffic and transport team plan to "holistically address parking concerns" near The Pillars aims to ensure minimum road widths are maintained through parking restrictions.
Traffic and road safety officer Digby Smith told the group by email that "most community concerns highlighted that road access (particularly in the case of an emergency) was being impeded by parked vehicles on both sides of local roads near The Pillars".
He said there were inconsistencies in current parking restrictions, particularly on Deakin Drive. "As a result, it is proposed that parking only be restricted on one side of Deakin Drive."
"At this stage the traffic and transport team is compiling feedback like yours about the parking plan for Briars Ward councillors … and to be able to update the community with a finalised parking plan."
The shire is liaising with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and VicRoads over long-term plans for the popular site.
Mr Smith said: "Initial feedback from DELWP is that closing The Pillars is not an option given their experiences in other locations.
"We have raised concerns related to the ongoing erosion, safety of pedestrians using the cliffs and crossing The Esplanade, rubbish issues as well as poor behaviour being exhibited on a regular basis.
"It is intended that a long-term direction be determined by the land manager responsible for The Pillars so that we can then implement infrastructure, enforcement and education to support this direction."
Mr Smith said a group request for a path between Mt Martha shops and The Pillars had "been recorded into our footpath construction database for future consideration".
The shire said constructing a footpath along The Esplanade was "a very difficult project given the terrain, culturally sensitive sites in the area, significant native vegetation and minimal space within the road reserve".
"Given the footpath would be on crown land managed by DELWP, their consent would also be required. We receive a large number of requests for paths on the peninsula and a path between Mt Martha shops and The Pillars is not currently a high priority," Mr Smith said.
Ms Davey, of Lempriere Av, said the group had "no intention of closing The Pillars".
"We just want to get rid of the rubbish, parking problems, have safe walking paths from the South Beach carpark, and parking bays in Marguerita Av and Deakin Drive."
Another idea is to build a lookout overseeing The Pillars to take away what's attracting young people in the first place. "About 99 per cent of the visitors are P-platers and we think they love the fact that it's hidden away," Ms Davey said. "Having families able to access a lookout and watching them would take away its allure."
The group has created a Facebook page where interested parties can comment, with entries to be forward to the council before the end of April.

Monkeys to Mars cashes in on the popularity of the comic outer space theme. The male and female monkey astronauts are going to Mars. The reels are set in the background of distant galaxies and the symbols on the reels have associations with space travel. The symbols have a background of space consoles and the payline buttons are in the shape of rockets. The Launch Button is the wild symbol and the Alien is the scatter symbol. The other symbols are the Monkeys to Mars Logo, Male Monkey, Female Monkey, Boots, Laser Gun, Oxygen Cylinder, Map, Walkie Talkie, Brown Crystal and Purple Crystal.
The Female Monkey blows hearts, the Walkie Talkie sends out a radio signal and the Oxygen Cylinder releases the gas and starts spinning. The best animation is seen in the Launch Button symbol. The Launch Button is hit and a rocket takes off across the reel leaving behind in its wake a cloud of smoke. All the symbols on the reel then act as wild symbols.
The coin size does not only have a wide range from 0.01 to 20.00, but also has more than 30 stops within that range. From 1.00 to 20.00 the stops occur in increments of 1.00. The slot game has 25 paylines and players are constrained to wager one coin per payline. The number of paylines and the coin size can be selected by operating the buttons below the reels. The Bet Max button automatically enables all 25 paylines at the selected coin size and sets the reels spinning. The minimum wager per spin is 0.01 credits and the maximum wager per spin is 500.00 credits.
The Launch button is the wild symbol and it appears only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. The Alien is the scatter symbol. Neither the wild symbol nor the scatter symbol offer payouts. When three Alien symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 the Asteroid Bonus Feature is triggered. In this bonus feature the player selects five weapons to fire and receives credits.
Monkeys to Mars has a Rocket Re-spin Feature that is awarded randomly after any spin. Before that the payouts for the normal spin are awarded. The re-spin takes place on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. There are bulbs above these reels and when any of them light up the re-spin feature takes place. The re-spins may take place in one or two or all three reels. During the re-spin the Purple Crystal Symbols become Launch Buttons. If there are any payouts after the re-spins these are added to the player's balance.
Monkeys to Mars has a number of customization options. Players can select from three game speeds. At the fastest game speed the reels do not spin, only the symbols change. Sound can be enabled or disabled and players can play in a mid size screen or in a full screen.

My house owner has an agreement stating, before leaving the house I should give 3 months notice.
There are total 4 houses, agreement is to divide the water bill equally among every house. Initially, I paid Rs400, after 6 months increased to 600 and now it is 700. Our consumption has never changed.
When we discussed this matter he told us to vacate the house.
Owner told me to vacate the house, since I am not intending to vacate, I suggested that I should not be serving him the notice. Upon further discussion, owner raised his voice on me and went on aggression mode and said it is in agreement.
I would like to review the current agreement and state that since he is asking me to vacate the current agreement becomes null and void and new agreement should be put to change the 3 months notice to 1 month.
Other details: Due to inferiority complexities in we being literate and they not and we have a maid and they not, also lot of other complexities were there, due to this and other reasons, there has been constant humiliating comments on us by the owners from day 1. We have tolerated and ignored eventually, but now this is having serious financial consequences for us, this we need not tolerate. Hence thinking seriously of legal options.
Mode of payment: Cash for 1year, last 6 months cheque.
Rental occupants: husband(myself), wife and child (4.8years).
In our opinion, they wanted us to vacate after 1 year, due to the inferiority complexity issues mentioned above.
This water bill is just a way of cornering us to forcefully vacate.
Have you paid any earnest money ?
Well, tenant cannot be forced to vacate the premises without following due course of law. dosen`t matter whether lease period expired or default of in lease terms.
Yes I have paid a advance amount of 1lakh deposit, which the owner is liable to pay me back.
I am paying monthly rental of Rs12600.
Termination of this agreement, has to be done strictly in accordance with the termination clause contained in your rent agreement.
If the agreement mandates a 3 months notice for you, I am very sure that this clause must be reciprocal and even in case the wants wants you to vacate, he has to give you an advance notice or pay in lieu thereof.
Make sure that the landlord acts in accordance with the agreement and not arbitrarily.
1. The terms of the agreement once set can be altered or modified unilaterally unless both parties consent to it.
2. So ignore the demand of the landlord as he can not bring changes to the terms of the agreement as per his whims and fancy.
3. In other words before the expiry of the tenure of the lease you can not be forced to quit the place nor the landlord can take any legal measures to get it back.
4. Even after the expiry of the tenure you can continue to stay in the premises and in that context the only remedy of the landlord would be to file a suit for eviction which take several years to end.
1) You have to go as per termination clauses of rent agreement and owner too has to return refund advance amount as well.
2) Now the decision is in your hand what suppose you want to take action against owner, vacate or complete the agreement term or leave after 3 months.
3) Did owner abused you or any domestic violence against your family etc than you can take legal action against owner otherwise you have to follow rent agreement terms and conditions clauses.
If the landlord wants to terminate the contract, a notice period, usually of one month, needs to be served. Some agreements, however, may specify a longer time period.
A security deposit should be returned once the tenancy ends and the tenancy agreement has been honoured. The deposit does not have to be returned to the tenant on the day they leave the accommodation, however the landlord must return the deposit promptly. Time should be allowed for an inspection at the end of a tenancy, and for any repairs/ cleaning to be carried out.
As you all ready execute an agreement with the owner, the owner and you(both of you) are bound by the terms and conditions of the agreement, if you are not interested to vacate the premises, wait till the litigation, and if the owner filed any case for eviction than fight the case on merit and on this case approximately one year will finished.
you may file a civil suit for permanent injunction against the owner before the civil court and pray from the court that without due process of law the owner will not be entitle to evict you forcefully or by any other means, the court will grant injunction order against the owner. in this matter, you may also pray for restraining order regarding day to day interference.
Talk to Advocate Nadeem Qureshi NOW!
How long is the rental agreement period?
Is it for one year and if so, whether it was renewed after expiration of the initial term?
If you cannot tolerate the situation due consistent harassment and mental tortures, why dont you quit the premises and look for a more peaceful atmosphere.
In any case he cannot force you to vacate other than by due process of law.
You first confirm the period of rental agreement and after that you can decide about vacating the house.
Since your amount is held as deposit by him, it would be better that you deduct the said amount towards rental payment till you vacate.
With regards to the advance amount paid by you in case the owner does not return the amount you can file civil recovery suit for money. Secondly check terms and conditions of your agreement there should be a clause where owner should also give you notice before asking you to vacate the premises. Any new agreement you can put terms and conditions mutually acceptable between you and owner law does not create embargo. Ensure that agreement for lease is done for 11 months more than 11 months needs to be registered.
There is no benefit in fighting with the owner and staying there. he has right to serve you vacation notice as per the agreement and you need to vacate the same. If there is no such clause he will vacate you after the tenure. If you still not vacate you will be evicted by the court.. Its better in interest of all to settle the matter mutually.
1. You cannot force him to cancel the existing agreement and execute a fresh agreement. The current agreement does not become null and void merely because he has asked you to vacate.
2. You cannot be evicted except through due process of law. If you do not vacate then the landlord will have no option except to file a petition for your eviction in the court.
See if owner is insisting to vacate then he should give you notice period and on notice of eviction you can leave the premises and can seek your refund back.
If owner is not listing give him a legal notice seeking your refund back on ground that he is asking to vacate and further harrased you and forcing you to vacate.
Yes the owner is liable and he has to return same back donot leave possession of premises till he pays amount back and serve him legal notice for same.

Employee wellbeing and health promotion initiatives are essential components of any successful organisation, helping to ensure a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Enlightened employers understand the link between healthier, energised staff and their bottom line; and employees prefer to work in an environment in which their physical and emotional wellbeing needs are recognised and met.
Employee wellbeing initiatives do not have to incur big budgets or affect productivity to be effective.
And even if such initiatives involve a financial outlay at the start, they could offer greater savings in the long term.
A local council recently introduced a pilot physiotherapy service for employees who reported in sick with muscular or joint pain.
They found that although the scheme cost £20,000 to implement over three months, the initiative was estimated to have saved £60,000 by drastically cutting the number of sick days affected employees were off work during that period.
At MOHS, we are finding an increasing number of our clients are asking for our expertise and guidance when implementing wellbeing or health promotion activities for their workforce.
And, judging from the feedback to these initiatives, it seems employees are equally keen to do as much as possible to protect their health, particularly as so many now need to work for longer and retire later.

To impeach the senate president – a conundrum in what the constitution says
New twist in EFCC-Saraki tussle; Atiku backs former senate president
Kwara APC concerned about Saraki's continued influence
Akpabio wants Saraki to resign to show that he means business
Don Adinuba: Back to the Ekwueme constitution
By Chukwuma Okonkwo
The law and the bible share some similarities in the way they are interpreted. Interpreting the bible requires one to take a holistic approach. This means that one cannot interpret one verse in the bible in isolation. While one verse may support your action, another verse may contradict it. The same logic applies to the law. While one section of the law may support your action, another section may contradict it. This means that one cannot interpret a section of the law in isolation of other sections relevant to it.
The interpretation of section 50(2c) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) has posed a serious challenge. It may require the intervention of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to put the conflicting views that have emerged to rest. This section talks about removing the Senate President (SP), Deputy Senate President (DSP), Speaker of the House of Representatives (SoH) and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DSoH). This section stipulates that 2/3 majority of the members of the Legislative House is required to remove these principal officers of the National Assembly (NASS).
However, the confusion that has emerged over this constitutional provision lies in its wording in relation to other relevant sections of the constitution. For example, the sections that talk about removing the President and Vice President of Nigeria, removing a Governor and Deputy Governor of a State, forming a quorum at both the National and State Legislative House, a candidate winning election in Nigeria, and so on.
Let's take a look at these relevant sections.
While section 50(2c) stipulates 2/3 majority of the members of the Legislative House, section 54(1), which talks about forming a quorum in the Legislative Houses stipulates 1/3 of all members of the Legislative House. Also, section 58(5), which talks about overriding the President's refusal to assent a bill, stipulates 2/3 majority of the members of the Legislative House. These provisions are similar to the provisions about removing a Speaker and Deputy Speaker of a State Assembly. For instance, while section 92(1c) stipulates that 2/3 majority of the members of a State Assembly is needed to impeach a Speaker or Deputy of a State Assembly, section 96(1) stipulates that 1/3 of all the members of a State Legislative House is required to form a quorum. In addition, section 100(5) stipulates that 2/3 majority of the members of a State Assembly is required to override a Governor's refusal to assent a bill.
Moreover, in relation to the provisions about removing the President or Vice President, while section 143(2) stipulates that at least 1/3 of the members of the NASS must sign a written notice of allegation against the President or Vice President, section 143(9) stipulates that 2/3 majority of all the members of the NASS must support the resolution to adopt the Report submitted by the Panel appointed to investigate the allegations.
Also, regarding removing the President or Vice President through a resolution initiated by the Federal Executive Council, section 144(1a) stipulates that 2/3 of all the members of the Federal Executive Council must pass the resolution. In addition, similar provisions apply to removing a State Governor or Deputy Governor. For instance, while section 188(2) stipulates that 1/3 of the members of the State Assembly must sign a written notice of allegation against a Governor or Deputy Governor, section 188(9) stipulates that 2/3 majority of all the members of a State Assembly must support the resolution to adopt the Report submitted by the Panel appointed to investigate the allegations against a Governor or Deputy Governor. Also, to remove a Governor or Deputy Governor through a resolution passed by State Executive Council, section 189(1a) stipulates that 2/3 of all the members of the State Executive Council must pass the resolution. In relation to winning election, while section 133(1b) stipulates that a presidential candidate must win in at least 2/3 of all the States in Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, section 179(1b) stipulates that a gubernatorial candidate must win in at least 2/3 of all the Local Governments in the State.
Furthermore, a close look at these constitutional provisions reveals the differences in the wording. One will notice that in some provisions the word all is used, while in some provisions it is absent. To some people, the interpretation of the sections where it is used is the same as in the sections where it is absent. For instance, the provision of 2/3 of the members of the Senate House is the same as the provision of 2/3 of all the members of the Senate House. This argument may be valid if interpretation of the section is done in part, where other relevant sections are neglected. In this case, the interpretation will be that 73 members of Senators are required to impeach the Senate President or Deputy Senate President. This interpretation may be narrowly construed.
But, if this section is holistically interpreted in a way that accounts for other relevant sections of the Constitution, then we will begin to see how different these provisions are, in terms of interpretation. Also, we will begin to see the hidden issues that require serious constitutional interpretation unveil their faces. In this case, the interpretation of the section where the word all is present will mean that 73 senators are required to impeach the Senate President or Deputy Senate President, and the interpretation of the section where the word all is absent will mean that only the members present in a session where a quorum has been duly constituted.
To conclude, I think there must be strong reason(s) why the word all is used in some of the provisions and not used in other provisions. One reason may be for emphasis purposes. Another reason may be to allow for further interpretation by a court of law. Often times we undermine the importance of some English words. One of the lessons that I have learnt from the conflicting views about the quest to remove Dr Bukola Saraki – and Dr Ike Ekweremmadu – is that every English word matters, particularly in legal provisions. Perhaps you won't understand this until you have problems with the law. To some people, the provision of section 50(2c) of the Constitution of the FRN is clear, perhaps that's why they beat their chest that Dr Saraki cannot be impeached because that process will require 73 senators, which would appear to be a feat that APC cannot pull. However, when you interpret this section in relation to other relevant provisions, as I have highlighted above, you will see that removing Dr Saraki is not a mirage as it has been portrayed. That's if the interpretation holds true, perhaps at the Supreme Court.

Q: SAS - XML Libname Engine does not support processing of Data Type Definitions (DTD) A simple question and I'm hoping for an easy answer.
I'm running a program in SAS and I'm getting the following warning:
    WARNING: DOCTYPE element encountered. The SAS XML Libname Engine does not support processing of Data Type Definitions (DTD).
    External entity references in the document will not be resolved, and no mark up validation will be performed.

I am using SAS 9.3.
Has anyone had this problem and know of a way to get the SAS 9.3 XML Libname Engine working?

A: I don't think that's a problem, per se.  What that's saying is that the LIBNAME XML engine does not use the DTD to validate the XML file (which is documented here: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/engxml/65362/PDF/default/engxml.pdf ) and so it will not validate your data for you, even though you have a DTD specification in the file.  That's not an error, and doesn't need to be treated as such.
If you do have any actual errors, or if you are having trouble reading the file, please update the OP with additional information.

A Nagy Szarvaskő () Burgenland második legmagasabb hegycsúcsa a Kőszegi-hegységben, a Felsőőri járásban, az Írott-kőtől nyugatra, a Kis Szarvaskőtől 1 km-re délkeletre. A hegyvonulatot az egész járásból jól lehet látni, amit a magaslatán kialakított TV torony és Gyógyszanatórium épülettömege is hangsúlyoz.

Nevének eredete
A Nagy Szarvaskő avagy rövidebben Szarvaskő nevét legendából eredeztetik. A történetírás szerint I. Mátyás magyar király Városszalónak várában tett látogatása alkalmával vadászott a környéken. A lándzsájával elejtett egy szarvast, amely miután földre rogyott kővé változott.

Infrastruktúra

A Nagy Szarvaskő mellett 859 m magasan áll a Szarvaskő TV adótornya. A 90 m magas építmény alsó szintjét 17,5 m magasan 4 emeletes épület foglalja el és ezen áll a 72,5 m magas torony. Az építményt 1968-ban kezdték el építeni és 1969. december 18-án helyezték üzemben. Úgy tervezték, hogy a 195 km/h szélsebességnek is ellenálljon. Feladata Dél- és Közép-Burgenland rádió és TV műsorszórásának biztosítása.
Itt található továbbá egy magas légköri adatokat is gyűjtő, fontos meteorológiai állomás is.

Gyógyszanatórium
1952 és 1955 között épült fel 826 méter magasságban a tüdőbetegek, így tuberkulózisban szenvedő betegek ellátást szolgáló szanatórium is. 1955. december 1-én nyitotta meg kapuit 6 évi építkezést követően. A családias légkörben zajló ellátáshoz a 165 fekvőágyas kiskórház ideális volt a maga 38 hektáros erdősült területével egyetemben. A létesítményt 2012-ben bezárták. 2014-ben szellemházként berendezéseivel együtt üresen áll. Az ellátást a Felsőőri Kórházban folytatták.

Határőrizet
2007. március 28-án a Nagy Szarvaskőnél a karintiai és stájer katonákból álló, egykori osztrák-magyar határt őrző Osztrák Szövetségi Hadsereg részét képező zászlóalj, szimbolikusan átadta zászlaját és ezzel egyben határőrzési feladatukat a rendőrségnek.

Die Praça Marquês de Pombal [] ist ein Platz der portugiesischen Hauptstadt Lissabon, der sich zwischen der Avenida da Liberdade und dem Parque Eduardo VII befindet.

In der Mitte des Platzes befindet sich eine 1934 eingeweihte Statue des ersten Marquis von Pombal, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, nach dem auch der Platz selbst benannt ist. Die Säule ist 36 Meter hoch, die darauf befindliche Statue besitzt eine Höhe von neun Meter. Vom Platz aus führen neben der Avenida da Liberdade zur Innenstadt auch noch die Avenida Duque de Loulé (Osten), Avenida Fontes Perreira de Melo (Nordosten), Avenida Joaquim António de Aguiar (Nordwesten) und Rua Braacamp (Westen). Auf dem Platz fanden unter anderem die entscheidenden Ereignisse zur Verkündung der Ersten Portugiesischen Republik am 5. Oktober 1910 statt.

Mit dem Bau der Avenida da Liberdade nach dem Erdbeben von 1755 gab es nun die Möglichkeit die Stadt weiter in Richtung Norden zu erweitern. Um die Avenida da Liberdade in einer angemessenen Form enden zu lassen und gleichzeitig Möglichkeiten zur Verzweigung in die verschiedenen Himmelsrichtungen zu ermöglichen, beschloss der amtierende Premierminister und Stadtplaner Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, der Marquês de Pombal, einen neuen städtischen Platz zu schaffen. Zunächst trug der Platz die simple Bezeichnung Rotunda, zu Deutsch etwa "runder Platz".

1882 gab es einen Vorschlag durch die Bevölkerung den Marquês de Pombal auch im täglichen Leben Lissabons zu ehren, sodass beschlossen wurde, ihm ein Denkmal zu errichten. Aufgrund einiger finanzieller und politischer Probleme nahm die Lissabonner Stadtregierung dieses Projekt erst 1914 in Angriff. Das Fundament wurde im Jahr 1917 gegründet, eingeweiht wurde die Bronzestatue jedoch erst 17 Jahre später, am 13. Mai 1934, durch Staatspräsident António Óscar de Fragoso Carmona. Der zeitliche Verzug war dadurch begründet, dass der ursprüngliche Künstler Francisco dos Santos verstarb, sodass die beiden Künstler José Simões de Almeida und Leopoldo Neves de Almeida das Werk vollendeten.

Zu Fuße des Denkmals befinden sich Allegorien der politischen Reformen, die der erste Marquês von Pombal durchgeführt hatte. Die nebenstehenden Figuren repräsentieren die Universität von Coimbra, wo er eine neue Fakultät der Wissenschaften gegründet hatte, die zerbrochenen Steine sollen ein Hinweis auf das Erdbeben von 1755 darstellen. Am oberen Teil des Sockels sind unter anderem wichtige Personen aus der Zeit des Marquês von Pombal eingraviert, beispielsweise der Architekt Eugénio dos Santos und der Bildhauer Joaquim Machado de Castro. Auf dem gepflasterten Platz selbst ist das Wappen Lissabons zu sehen.

Unterhalb des Platzes befindet sich die gleichnamige U-Bahn-Station der Metro Lissabon, dort treffen sich die gelbe und die blaue Linie.

Youth Solidarity Mural
The chilly morning of October 29, 2014 a crowd gathered up by the side of the main doors of OCAD to give young artist Pablo Munoz a warm welcome to commemorate and congratulate him as being the winner of the 4th Wall for the Youth Solidarity Project. The Michaelle Jean Foundation and the Art Gallery of Ontario together, celebrate World Pride 2014 by giving young artists a platform to break silence, solitude and struggle against prejudice through national arts contest, a digital art exhibition and an outdoor solidarity mural.
It is a platform for youth to be heard, as well as acts as a tool of social change for Canada's Two Spirited and LGBTTIQQ communities. The artist, Pablo Muñoz explained that a lot of homophobia has been embedded in societies since the time of colonialism. He envisions that there are many others like him who should have the opportunity to have their work showcased and acknowledged by the society.
We still have a lot tiers to break, he says. It is important to have safe spaces for artists to express themselves freely. Pablo gave special thanks to Kara Springer for being his constant support and advised young individuals to connect with mentors of their own. He talked about how he found his inspiration for this mural when he worked with the immigrant and refugee community.
For the last thirteen years, this community shaped and encouraged him to do political work. I also got the opportunity to have a short chat with Pablo to be able to better understand his perspective and thoughts behind the mural. I asked him whether the mural depicts a border between two specific countries; he replied by saying it is a border between two countries but not any certain country. It shows during times of insurgency, humanity shall prevail because of love that can overcome anything at any time. Thus love holds the power to make humanity human.

Momentum Space is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dewey Redman, pianist Cecil Taylor and drummer Elvin Jones featuring performances recorded in 1998 and released on the Verve label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "The music is unpredictable yet not all that unique or colorful and one's expectations for a truly classic affair are not quite reached. This is worth listening to, but is not essential except as a historical curiosity".

Gary Giddins wrote: "This is a considered, committed album—not an autumnal all-star caucus like the Giants of Jazz in the '70s, but a unique and artful collaboration. Even if the music and conceptual organization were less remarkable, this disc would be one for the books."

Writing for All About Jazz, Craig Jolley called the album "a major statement", and commented: "All three major voices influence its sound directly (Taylor) or through collaborators. Participation varies from track to track. Each musician has a solo tune, there are two duets, and all three play on the two longest tunes... The music itself is completely free with no pre-conceived composition, key, or rhythm. Ebb and flow is determined by the players and centers around the rhythm of the moment. Several ambiguously defined themes come and go, most of which seem to emanate from Taylor but become common property."

Track listing
All compositions by Dewey Redman except as indicated
 "Nine" - 10:52
 "Bekei" (Elvin Jones) - 4:19
 "Spoonin'" - 7:27
 "Life as..." (Cecil Taylor) - 8:31
 "It" (Taylor) - 7:15
 "Is" (Taylor) - 20:47

The BITC2 dataset outlines the findings from a follow-up randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluation of the Business in the Community's 'Time to Read' porogramme. The trial was undertaken between October 2009 and June 2010 and was a follow-up to a previous RCT conducted between 2006-2008. The secind trial took on board recommendations that emerged during the first trial regarding the need to focus on more specific outcomes relating to literacy outcomes.
Five hundred and twelve children aged between 8 and 9 years old form fifty schools across Norther Ireland took part; two hundred and sixty three were in the intervention group and two hundred and forty nine were in the control group.
Both literacy and non-literacy outcomes were measured. Literacy skills measured included: decoding, reading rate, reading accuracy, reading fluency and comprehension. Educational aspirations were also measured as a non-literacy outcome.

I discovered this Talk Radio Network show several months ago. Normally I'm not big on discussing politics much less listening to it - however - Jerry is some one I can listen to. He's a former Republican turned Independent. In sharing his opinion and views of politics he spares no switch against Dems or Repubs. If he looks familiar to you it's probably from his role as Michael Garibaldi on Babylon 5.
He's one of the few people I've heard who puts in a twist of humor when talking politics.

There's an update to the show. Jerry has created a site that not only links to articles on other sites but has its own original content.
yes, Garibaldi talks politics, Hollywood, and common sense on social issues.

Returning from a peaceful two-week cruise to Caribbean, during which I delivered a series of lectures on the wiles of Wall Street, I had hoped to find a more placid investment environment than when I left.
After all, economic growth was continuing its upward trajectory, inflation was well within an acceptable range and interest rates, while destined to increase, remained historically low and were certainly not going to upset the apple cart. Such naive thinking.

Suddenly harsh tariffs on steel and aluminum are part of the economic landscape, becoming a possible preamble to trade wars among our major trading partners. As a free trade economist, I see tariffs as a measure designed to be more punitive than defensive with unintended consequences that in the end will serve only to raise the overall price level of goods. Trade deficits can be met with less drastic economic remedies.
Even Congressional Republicans have pushed back on the administration's plans to impose global tariffs on steel and aluminum, calling the president's tariff push economically dangerous. Add in the resignation of Gary Cohn, National Economic Council director and one of the administration's key economic advisers who many believed to be a stabilizing influence within the White House, and Wall Street began to fray around the edges.
At the same time, with the blessings of Wall Street, the administration's efforts to water down and/or eliminate key elements of Dodd-Frank rules is moving ahead both on Capitol Hill and at the regulatory agencies. The Senate is working on a package that would reduce the list of banks considered "too big to fail" by two-thirds.
It would also increase the odds that taxpayers will be back on the hook to bail out a failed bank, according to a report released recently by the Congressional Budget Office. The bill's proponents pitch it as primarily benefiting small and regional banks, though the CBO report also found it stands an even chance of easing capital requirements for JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup.
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Randal Quarles, the central bank's regulatory chief, said regulators are working swiftly to trim the Volcker Rule, that Dodd-Frank provision, a bete noire of the big banks, that bans firms from making certain kinds of risky investments for their own gain.
Quarles, a Trump appointee, said the Fed and four other agencies with jurisdiction over the rule will "proceed with dispatch" in reworking it. As it stands, it's too complex, he said.
However all the above are merely parameters in the investment game over which you have no control. The real question is what you are going to do going forward in terms of your investment actions and objectives.

The 2008 financial crisis and subsequent Great Recession left its mark on the psyches of many in part because it was unexpected, sudden and dramatic. Despite the steady recovery that we have seen over the past nine years, the financial crisis left scars that a few years of recovery will not erase.
The result being that many investors are now more risk-averse than ever before. The recent economic news has caused some to begin to rethink their investment strategy with an eye to exiting stage left. While such thoughts are understandable, they are wrong.
The field of behavioral finance has shown that in general everyone, not just investors, are more sensitive to losses than the excitement generated by potential gains. The recent volatility on Wall Street has investors focused sharply on how much they could lose in the short-term, rather than on how much they could gain if they stay invested for a longer period.
While market fluctuations are likely to be exaggerated by the Dodd-Frank and tariff issues, not to mention the rotating door at the White House, it should not deter you from continuing a buy-and-hold investment philosophy.
Companies and the economy will adapt to changes in the regulatory environment. You must not let your short-term perception of the future influence your long-term investment strategy.

I am more than a bit miffed.
Donna phoned her father last night to check on arrangements for being picked up at the airport etc. today.
Towards the end of the conversation she asked about Glenn as we have been trying to contact him for over a week.
Glenn isn't the best in the world at picking the blooming phone up so we had tried ...home phone and mobile phone......without success.
Her father then told her that Glenn has been in hospital since last Tuesday.
He has diverticulitis, which is basically what he had all the surgeries for last year.
He is unlikely to be out before this Tuesday.
Bearing in mind how quickly hospitals chuck you out these days, I think he must be pretty rough to have been kept in this long.
Infection and antibiotics were mentioned and I can only assume that these must have been given intravenously for them to keep him in.
But why hadn't we been told?
Donna and I were both very upset.
Had she been at home she would have known what was going on and she would have kept me informed. Instead of which no one knew.
Glenn has probably been in there all this time with no visitors.........except his father maybe.
Donna is going to find out more as soon as she gets back and then let me know.
I am wondering what the long term plan is for him as he can't keep going back into hospital every few months.
I am trying very hard not to be angry as that is a waste of time. Anger doesn't achieve anything and is destructive. I will not allow that to happen.
I shall just have to rely on Donna telling me what is going on.
They went back this morning. I got up to see them go at 4am.
They are currently en route and expect to land around 10pm UK time.
I am already missing them. I have tidied the house and put a lot of Lauren's "stuff" away.
I liked it when it was messy.
They plan to come back at the end of July for a month this time.
So I just have to look forward to that and hope that Glenn's health improves.
Bubba is having more tests on his blood. If they prove negative for a thyroid problem (treatable with medication) then he will have x rays to see what is going on.
Poor big, ole, soppy Bubba.
Try not to be angry with the hospital. As you say, anger doesn't help. Besides, could it be that Glenn hasn't been looking after himself enough to prevent the symptoms recurring? If there is anything we can do to help, we'll be there. One thing for sure is that we need to drum it into him to stay in touch with you more often and if not you directly, then one of us, as we'll always pass news onto you.
Actually I am not angry with the hospital at all.
I am shocked because Glenn's father knew all about this, right from the start, even took him to the hospital but didn't tell Donna or myself about it.
Donna had spoken to her dad on a couple of occasions while she was here and he never said anything about it. It came as such a shock to us last night.

Nolan's "Dunkirk" – An Abstract Tribute
Credit: Christopher Nolan [found at Cinemavine.com])
What I found especially gripping about Christopher Nolan's latest film, a retelling of the Miracle at Dunkirk, was that each of the individual people in the story were not the main character. That role was filled by the seemingly indomitable human spirit, and will to survive and struggle ever onwards. Dunkirk might well be one of the most defining moments of the Twentieth Century for Britain, and quite possibly as well a crucial turning point for the whole world.
The film follows three main groups: the soldiers on the beaches, the sailors both civil and naval crossing the Channel, and the RAF in the air trying to keep the fighters and bombers of the Luftwaffe from wrecking further havoc to the men stuck at Dunkirk and the ships trying to ferry them to the safety of home, a mere 26 miles away. Though the plot is not in itself chronological, it nevertheless helps tie together each disparate group, connecting their experiences in a spiritual fashion as each come ever closer to the film's climax.
For British and Commonwealth viewers this film will certainly reinforce that Dunkirk Spirit, that steely determination that even in the darkest of hours Britain and her sister countries will never surrender. I became quite emotional when, after witnessing the sense of doom the soldiers on the shore felt for a good hour, the hodgepodged fleet of little ships arrived in the waters off of Dunkirk. This moment, though one of the darkest hours in British history is also equally one of the most inspiring to have transpired in that island nation's long story.
For American viewers this film should give us pause. In our present hour of immense internal divisions, of political unrest and civil discontent we should consider what it would mean for us as one people to come together for a cause we all knew to be necessary for the continued survival of our country and the liberty it's Constitution assures. In this hour of great uncertainty we should be looking not to what divides us but what can unite us.
Hans Zimmer's score is a welcome change from his usual set of loud brass, excessive strings, and choirs primarily singing "Ah" for far too many measures. While loud, this score adds to the energy of the film, and in a musical sense is largely understated. The music helps bring the viewer into the picture, onto the beach, aboard the small boats and naval ships, and in the cockpits of the Spitfires high above in the air. I really appreciated the echoes of Elgar's Nimrod that played over the final scene as Britain and her forces came to rest aground again and prepare for the inevitable Battle of Britain to come.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and just a few minutes prior to sitting down to write this review I told my writing partner Noel that I have to go back and see this again soon. Dunkirk is a film that triggers both the conscious and sub-conscious, that calls upon one's entire emotional and physical self. It is one of a number of films that are to me the new "talkies"; they address not only our visual and aural senses, but our emotional senses as well. I have a feeling there will be many more films like Dunkirk to come.
