    INFRASTRUCTURE IS KEY TO EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT PAGE-8 (OPINION) The Global New Light of Myanmar NEXT GENERATION PLATFORM 13 JANUARY 2019 THE GLOBAL NEW LIGHT OF MYANMAR NATIONAL Meeting to form Workers Coordinating Committee (WCC) held in Hlinethaya Tsp By Thu Naung Kyaw (Hledan) Dip. in English (YUFL) WELL-KNOWN modern teashop in Hledan makes a bowl of oil noodles in the way that the steaming hot noodles are sieved into a plastic water bowl with handle, commonly used in bath- A rooms, in which the concoction is done, afterwards being put PAGE-6 Pull-out supplementinto a porcelain plate and, finally, served. Moreover, Hledan has another popular teashop, only two branches of which are running there in the town. There, when a glass of cold drink is ordered, they use a generous amount of unevenly hewn ice cubes, rather than using purified ice cubes. Also, the bottles of soybean with their rusty metal caps staining their mouths are not worth ordering. Next, a roadside Monhingha shop, which, however, was known to be in the list of pioneers of the town, asked us to hold our horses as the broth had ran out. A moment later, a trishaw came with many plastic bags, each holding Monhingha broth – boiling hot – all of which was eventually poured down into the large bowl. In the Hledan market, a wholesaling shop that sells fried vermicelli and fried noodles adds the entire packet of Ajinomoto, the seasoning powder, into a giant frying pan. Those noodles and vermicelli are sold to the other shops retailing various salads, pork on stick, and so on.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2011) Martial arts are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat, practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development. The term martial art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, but was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, martial arts being the "Arts of Mars," the Roman god of war.[1] Some martial arts are considered 'traditional' and tied to an ethnic, cultural or religious background, while others are modern systems developed either by a founder or an association.

NOV 51969 WASHINGTON. O. C Dedicated to my Parents Preface Great Britain started colonizing Nigeria at about the second half of the nineteenth century. From this time until October 1, I960, the date Nigeria became independent, the British introduced liberalism into the country as a political, economic and social philosophy. Although there exists a relatively large volume of (mostly scattered) literature on Nigerian foreign policy, the question of how the philosophy of liberalism, especially the Anglo-American style, has continued to influence Nigeria’s foreign (as well as domestic) policy even after independence, has not yet been investigated in an adequate chronological perspective. This largely factual, historical (and yet basically theoretical), study is meant to fill that gap. I hope the work will be found helpful particularly by students of Nigerian political affairs and in general by students of African studies.

  • Amending the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999
    African Journal of Legal Studies 4 (2011) 123–148 brill.nl/ajls Amending the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 Nat Ofo* Senior Lecturer and Sub-Dean, College of Law, Igbinedion University Okada, Edo State, Nigeria Abstract The amendment of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 has not been free of contro- versies. The latest controversy dogging the amendment relates to whether or not it is necessary for the President to assent to the Bill of the National Assembly amending the Constitution, even after the amend- ment has been ratified by at least two-thirds of the Houses of Assembly of the States of the Federation. There are two schools of thought on this issue; each with sound arguments in support of their respective position. A dispassionate and realistic consideration of the issue has been undertaken in this article. The conclusion is reached that the provision of the constitution dealing with its amendment is not free from ambiguity. Its lack of clarity on its amendment procedure has made it obviously in dire need of amend- ment. Consequently, necessary suggestions on how to resolve the issues, including the amendment of the amendment-provision of the constitution have been proffered. Keywords constitutional law; constitutional amendment; 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; assent of the President; interpretation of statutes; National Assembly; Senate; House of Representatives 1. Introduction Amending the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 19991 has ab ini- tio not been free from controversies. The latest controversy on the amendment of the 1999 Constitution relates to whether the assent of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is necessary before any purported amendment to the consti- tution can become effectual.2 As can be imagined, there are two views on the matter.

  • Buddhism and Written Law: Dhammasattha Manuscripts and Texts in Premodern Burma
    BUDDHISM AND WRITTEN LAW: DHAMMASATTHA MANUSCRIPTS AND TEXTS IN PREMODERN BURMA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Dietrich Christian Lammerts May 2010 2010 Dietrich Christian Lammerts BUDDHISM AND WRITTEN LAW: DHAMMASATTHA MANUSCRIPTS AND TEXTS IN PREMODERN BURMA Dietrich Christian Lammerts, Ph.D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the regional and local histories of dhammasattha, the preeminent Pali, bilingual, and vernacular genre of Buddhist legal literature transmitted in premodern Burma and Southeast Asia. It provides the first critical analysis of the dating, content, form, and function of surviving dhammasattha texts based on a careful study of hitherto unexamined Burmese and Pali manuscripts. It underscores the importance for Buddhist and Southeast Asian Studies of paying careful attention to complex manuscript traditions, multilingual post- and para- canonical literatures, commentarial strategies, and the regional South-Southeast Asian literary, historical, and religious context of the development of local legal and textual practices. Part One traces the genesis of dhammasattha during the first and early second millennia C.E. through inscriptions and literary texts from India, Cambodia, Campå, Java, Lakå, and Burma and investigates its historical and legal-theoretical relationships with the Sanskrit Bråhmaˆical dharmaßåstra tradition and Pali Buddhist literature. It argues that during this period aspects of this genre of written law, akin to other disciplines such as alchemy or medicine, functioned in both Buddhist and Bråhmaˆical contexts, and that this ecumenical legal culture persisted in certain areas such as Burma and Java well into the early modern period.
