Question by Buff98216: What are the best neighborhoods in Washington DC?
I am thinking of relocating to Washington D.C. and was wondering about the neighborhoods there.
I like city life and I know that no area is crime free but I would like to live in a somewhat safe area, close to a metro station, and that has a lot to do (shopping, museums, resturants, theatres etc.)
I am mostly concerned about safety because I can get anywhere on the metro.
I would also consider northern VA and price is not too much of an issue, I can rent or buy.

Answer by Mike R
Basically, anywhere in Northwest DC is good. I would check out Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, Cleveland Park, Friendship Heights, and closer to downtown is Metro Center (Basically, anywhere on the Red Line of the Metro that’s west of Metro Center). Georgetown is a good area but not as accessible by Metro.
I’m not as familiar with Northern VA (I grew up in the Maryland suburbs) but I would also check out either downtown Bethesda or Silver Spring as well if you would consider a close-in suburb. Both of these areas have Metro stops (at opposite ends of the Red Line) and have downtown areas with theaters, restaurants, stores, etc… And they’re both within a short distance of downtown DC. They’re especially convenient since they’re on the Metro that goes right downtown so you can get to even more shopping and restaurants and the Smithsonian.

parliamentary system of government Nigeria`s best hope for democratic stability
It is almost 10 years of democratic rule in Nigeria. There is no better time than now to assess the suitability of the 1999 constitution than now. It is even more compelling in the light of recent happenings in the country-the 2007 elections, which a lot of people expected to cement democracy proved clearly that we are not yet in civility. The 2009 budget is more on recurrent expenditure than capital projects. The recurrent expenditure is to maintain political office –holders and their numerous aides. In fact, since the advent into civil rule the cost of running government has been on the high side. These amongst others shows that there is a need to review the   1999 constitution  which is the guardian angel of  this republic .This paper will focus one aspect of the constitutional review .I t will address the present model of government under the 1999 constitution. The model of government under the 1999 constitution is called the presidential system of government. The presidential system of government is a system of government where the President has strong powers to function as head of government independent of the legislature .Here, the President  has executive powers which he can exercise directly or indirectly through his ministers .Section 5 of the 1999 constitution provides as follows:†Subject to the provisions of this constitution, the executive powers of the Federation @shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Minister of the Government of the Federation; and [b ] shall extend to execution and maintenance of this constitution, all laws made by the National Assembly and to all matters with respect to which the National Assembly has, for the time being, power to make laws.â€
The sweeping powers of the President is limited by section 5[4][a]&[b].The President by the aforesaid sections cannot declare a state of war between the federation and another country except by the sanction of a resolution of both houses of the National assembly or deploy any member of the Armed Forces of the federation for combat duty outside Nigeria without the sanction of the National Assembly in the form of a resolution.
The President is also the Commander-in –Chief of the armed forces of the federation .By section 218  of the 1999 constitution ,he is to determine the operational use of the armed forces of the federation .These are sweeping powers indeed! Although section 218[4] provides that the national assembly shall have power to make laws for the regulation of the powers exercisable by the president as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the federation .This is not enough to limit the enormous powers conferred on the president by the said section. Acts or laws can not envisage every human scenario that might crop up so effective regulation of that power is really out of it .In principle ,though, the 1999 constitution has checks and balances. This  can be gleamed from some of the sections cited above. An active  National Assembly  can check the enormous powers of the president but there is a limit to what the  national assembly can do in the face of these enormous powers .Our experience has brought   this question to the front-burner-can we afford to give enormous powers to one man ?The framers of the 1979 constitution which introduced the presidential system of government for the first time in our political history which later changed to the 1999 constitution did not anticipate a president that could transform into a civilian dictator. We and them have since been woken up from that ignorance! The proponents of strong powers for the president ,a main feature of the presidential system of government, believes that such powers is needed for strong and united leadership especially in times  of crisis and because of the diverse ethnic composition of the country .These are good reasons to give strong powers for the president but it is the reverse that we have seen as a people .We  are living witnesses to what transpired in the last administration. We had a President that was  surreptitiously removing governors, senate presidents  through the   instrumentality of state ,a President that was disobeying court orders   and a President that rigged a lot of  his party-men into office.  Obviously these are the dangers inherent  in a presidential system of government or better still points to the fact that the presidential system of government might not be compatible with our clime as a people .Every constitution however good it might be is premised on one fact that the operators would be gentlemen ,men of  honour . Our experience has shown that we might not always have men of honour in office and we should not wait till another  autocratic leader spring up before we realize our mistake .We need to switch gears. A country where political patronage is the major source of livelihood and a President that controls the disbursement of funds and all governmental structures, extremes that should not exist side by side, there is no way everybody will not be at the beck and call of the President.
]]>
We need to  go back  to  the parliamentary system of government that we operated in the first republic under the 1960 and 1963 constitutions .The parliamentary system of government that we practiced then offers some bright lessons for a time such as this .In this discuss, I will  enumerate the good side of the 1960 and 1963 constitutions and the provisions that need not be adopted again as it relates to model of government.
The parliamentary  system  of government under the 1960 and 1963 constitutions was characterized by four  main features.[1]the separation of the  head of state and head of government.[2] the plurality of the executive.[3]parliamentary character of the executive .[4] The responsibility of the  ministers to the legislature.
The plurality of the executive : The executive is plural in the sense that the prime-minister is the head of the council of ministers. It is plural in the sense that the prime-minister has more than one vote in council meetings deliberations .In cabinet, all other members stand on equal footing – one man, one vote .It is the prime-minister that is primus interpares .The council of ministers derive its authority from the prime-minister because they leave office when his tenure ceases .He chooses  his ministers from among his colleagues in the parliament.
The separation of head of state from head of government: The head of state was the governor-general which later turned into the president[under the 1963 constitution)while the head of government was the prime-minister .It is the prime-minister with his cabinet members that coordinate the  government while the governor –general plays a titular role.
Parliamentary character of the executive: Members of the executive are also members of parliament .It is the political party that has the largest number of votes that forms the cabinet.
The responsibility of the executive to the legislature : Here, the legislature has greater control of the cabinet. They are actually fused. The legislature could pass a vote of no confidence on any of the  ministers including the prime-minister.
Now let us go to the relevance of the above features of 1960 and 1963 constitutions to our present situation.
One complaint that has been recurring from the National assembly in this present Republic is the non-implementation of the budget which has led to infrastructural decay and the absence of the dividends of democracy .This cannot   happen in a Parliamentary system of government where the  legislature has greater control of the  executive. The executive of the First Republic was described thus:â€â€

Which Two-way Radio is Best for My Business?
Today’s businesses have discovered an easy and inexpensive method for increasing their bottom line. They’ve added two-way radios to their communication systems. Decreased operational costs and increased productivity are two big reasons for those additional profits.
Two-way radios are cost-effective tools. They’re used to communicate between departments or out in the field, decreasing the time spent on many tasks. Response time is quicker and projects can be tracked more efficiently using 2-way radios. They’re practical, reliable, durable, and less expensive than cellular phones.
But Which Two-Way Radio To Choose…
There are many 2-way radio models to choose from, depending on the needs and requirements of your business. Before purchasing any walkie-talkies, consider these four features: frequency, power, channels, and the durability of the handsets.
Frequency—UHF or VHF?
Consider your environment when choosing which frequency you’ll need. If you’re communicating inside a building or where there are obstructions between radios, then a UHF 2-way radio is best. These radios work well for businesses such as restaurants, hotels, health care facilities and schools.
]]>
VHF two-way radios work well when used outside on open land or rolling hills with few trees. Businesses such as farms and ranches, golf courses, and survey crews appreciate the reliability of VHF radios.
Power—How Much Do I Need?
Business radios vary in power from 1 watt to 5 watts. While the more powerful radios will communicate at the higher distances, often that power isn’t necessary. If your business communication area is under 200,000 square feet or less than one mile in distance, then a 1-watt radio will work well for you.
If the range is among multiple buildings, up to 250,000 square feet in an area, or up to 2 miles in distance, then a 2-watt radio will work. When communicating up to 300,000 square feet and up to a 3-mile distance, a 3-watt radio will do the job. Always consider the range or distance you’ll be using the radios to determine the power you actually need.
Channels—How Many Are Really Necessary?
The number of channels available on 2-way radios varies with each model. If all your employees need to communicate with each other, then one channel works well. However, if you operate a business such as a hotel, you’ll want multiple channels. Then your kitchen/wait staff, housekeeping, and valet service each can stay in touch on their own channel.
Determine how many different departments will be communicating among themselves and across departments when deciding how many channels your radios need.
Durability—How Sturdy Must My 2-Way Radio Handsets Be?
How and where the two-way radios will be used determines the ruggedness needed in handsets. If you’ll be using the radios outside where they could get knocked around a bit, then you’ll need a sturdy model. If the two-way radios will be used inside an office building to communicate from floor to floor, then a less rugged model will work well.
Assess your needs—determine which features you must have in your walkie-talkie. Then check the specifications of each model to decide which set will work best for you.
Joe Wood is an experienced communication expert dealing with two way radios from Tech Wholesale. Mr. Wood has helped thousands of business owners choose the proper two-way radios for their needs since 1997 and has developed a tool to help choose the proper radio for each job: “Which Two-Way Radio is Right for Me?”. This new tool will automatically walk users through the radio-selection process.
