Rylan Clark is set to get his own Channel 5 chat show.
The former X Factor finalist turned TV presenter is set to front his very own programme in the evenings from May, Channel 5's director of programmes Ben Frow has revealed.
It's one of a series of new commissions from Channel 5 which has been enjoying some bumper ratings of late: Another addictive series of Celebrity Big Brother mixed with new formats like Lip Sync Battle and imports such as The X Files have seen numbers on the up.
The channel, which was sold to MTV owner Viacom in 2014, is also set to experiment with more drama and comedy within the next year, it's been reported by The Guardian.
News of his own show means that it could be a VERY busy year ahead for Rylan who will be back hosting Bit On The Side for Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother in the summer too.
And on top of that he's been eyeing up the currently vacant presenting spot on the show that saw him rise to fame, The X Factor.
Chatting on This Morning recently, where Rylan ALSO works, he said: "To be honest I've not being asked to do it... I swear I've not had a phone call asking me to do it."
But IF that phone call comes...
"Do you know what I come from X Factor, it's the show that I started on. I love the show... Yes of course I would go back there I've said it," Rylan continued. "But obviously I've got no intention of leaving my job at Big Brother."

The official site for SpellForce: The Order of Dawn has added four more class descriptions in the Dwarf race section, doubling the previous total. Among the newly unveiled ones is the Watchman:
Bjarne's servants are not the only inhabitants of the depths of the earth. They are also home to the demons of the Red Horde, who incessantly seek flesh and a path to the light. Often, when dwarves dug their mines too deep, they would break through to the fiery caverns of the Horde and soon, the mineshaft would be full of demons, flames and death, leaving the workers little chance of escape. Thus Watchmen accompany the miners into the shafts, to protect them from the dark secrets of the depths. They stand firm in the suffocating breath of the demons and secure the shaft until the workers have escaped and can close the tunnel. Many have found their grave in the course of duty under the mountains. However, a Watchman's weapons and amour are not only suitable for battle underground, these courageous warriors are also a welcome reinforcement on any battlefield or battlement.
You can also see descriptions of the Defender, Elder and Elite. A blend of strategy and role-playing, SpellForce is a fantasy title which will be published by JoWooD Productions.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) has named David Whiteing as the new Group Executive, Enterprise Services and Chief Information Officer, replacing Michael Harte, who is leaving the bank to join Barclays as its Chief Operations and Technology Officer.
Whiteing, who is currently Head of Architecture and Planning team in Enterprise Services, will commence his role in mid-July. He will lead CBA’s technology and Operations teams to build on investments in technology and ensure on-going innovation, according to a press release.
Whiteing joined CBA in September 2013 from BP in the United Kingdom, with CBA Group’s CEO Ian Narev saying his appointment continues the bank’s record of promoting internally.
According to Gilles Ubaghs, Senior Analyst at Ovum, the choice of an internal candidate is indicative of the stability of CBA’s IT strategy and a reluctance to disturb what has proven to work well so far.
"Hiring an outsider may have caused greater instability, but by going internal, the new CIO will be well versed in the current strategy. CBA still faces challenges as launching new innovations is never easy, but this appears to be a clear “steady-as-she-goes” approach in the face of any turbulent waters they may face," he said.
In the release CBA CEO Ian Narev said Whiteing will bring both overseas and local experience to the role, “David is a highly experienced business and IT executive with a track record of delivering technology and process transformation in many industries, including financial services, both in Australia and overseas.”
CBA plans to continue to focus on technology and productivity as long-term strategic priorities, Narev added.
Prior to his departure, Harte was responsible for CBA’s successful core banking system modernisation program, and known for his role in the bank’s decision to be a leader in the application of technology, which has been reported to give the CBA a head start in technology adaption.
Harte always maintained the importance of CBA being a world leader in the application of technology into products, with CBA taking this on as a core strategic priority for the group.
At the time of Harte’s departure, analysts said he would leave the bank well positioned to build on the success of its core modernisation program.
Ubaghs said he did not think Harte’s departure will be to the CBA’s detriment, “now they need to build upon his legacy of innovation. They are now in a different phase,” he said.

Apicius, De re culinaria, an early on number of recipes.
The initial identified published recipes day to 1730 BC and were recorded on cuneiform capsules found in Mesopotamia.
Other early written recipes time from approximately 1600 BC and result from an Akkadian tablet from southern Babylonia. Additionally, there are operates in historical Egyptian hieroglyphs depicting the preparation of food.
Several old Greek recipes are known. Mithaecus’s cook book was an early one, but most of it has been missing; Athenaeus estimates one short recipe in his Deipnosophistae. Athenaeus says a number of other cookbooks, these lost.
Roman recipes are known starting in the next century BCE with Cato the Elder’s P Agri Cultura. Several experts of this period explained western Mediterranean preparing in Greek and in Latin. Some Punic recipes are identified in Greek and Latin translation.
The large number of recipes P re coquinaria, conventionally named Apicius, appeared in the 4th or 5th century and is the only complete remaining cookbook from the established world. It provides the courses served in meals as Gustatio (appetizer), Primae Mensae (main course) and Secundae Mensae (dessert). Each formula begins with the Latin order “Take…,” “Recipe….”
Arabic recipes are reported starting in the 10th century; see al-Warraq and al-Baghdadi.
The initial formula in Persian days from the 14th century. A few recipes have survived from the full time of Safavids, including Karnameh (1521) by Mohammad Ali Bavarchi, including the preparing instruction in excess of 130 different recipes and pastries, and Madat-ol-Hayat (1597) by Nurollah Ashpaz. Menu books from the Qajar period are numerous, the absolute most notable being Khorak-ha-ye Irani by king Nader Mirza.
King Richard II of England commissioned a formula book called Forme of Cury in 1390, and around the same time, still another book was published titled Curye on Inglish, “cury” meaning cooking. Both publications provide an impact of how food for the noble lessons was prepared and offered in Britain at that time. The magnificent taste of the aristocracy in the Early Contemporary Time brought with it the start of what can be called the present day menu book. By the 15th century, numerous manuscripts were appearing describing the recipes of the day. A number of these manuscripts give great information and history the re-discovery of many herbs and herbs including coriander, parsley, basil and peppermint, many that have been brought back from the Crusades.

It is common knowledge that smoking is a health risk but why do teens become addicted to smoking more easily than adults? In an evaluation for Faculty of 1000 Biology, Neil Grunberg looks into why adolescents are more prone to substance abuse.
Grunberg describes the study, published by Natividad et al. in Synapse journal, as "fascinating" and suggests it "may have implications to help understand why adolescents are particularly prone to drug abuse".
Nicotine increases the level of dopamine in the brain, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for feelings of pleasure and wellbeing. The study looked at dopamine levels in adolescent and adult rats after nicotine withdrawal. The authors found that the withdrawal signs (physical and neurochemical) seen in adolescent rats were fewer than those observed in adults.
The study provides previously unknown mechanisms as to why there are differences in nicotine withdrawal between adolescent and adult rats. The key here, as stated by Grunberg, is "age alters [neurological] systems and interactions relevant to nicotine".
The reason that adolescents are prone to drug abuse (in this case, nicotine) is that they have increased sensitivity to its rewarding effects and do not display the same negative withdrawal effects as adults do, due to an underdeveloped dopamine-producing system.
Since rats are not subject to cultural influences, "rat studies of nicotine ... have provided valuable insights that have led to practical behavioural and pharmacological interventions", says Grunberg.
The results of this study may not stop at nicotine. Grunberg continues, "these findings might also be relevant to other addictive and abuse drugs".

If you’re online at all these days, you’ll notice October ended and we’re straight on to the holiday season. For many, this is a time of year that is especially difficult whether it be because of the dark and cold days, the pressure of the season, or the extra challenges of navigating all the holiday gatherings.
Historically, Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays – until my food intolerances got in the way and it became much more difficult to enjoy the meal without anxiety, asking lots of questions, educating the host, and planning to bring more of my own foods so as to be able to enjoy it. I grew up in the kitchen and whether it’s in my own house or that of anyone else, I feel most comfortable in any gathering when in the kitchen with my hands in the food. So it’s a given that I absolutely love the idea of Thanksgiving, which is essentially a celebration of food.
For the past few years, I’ve gotten better at navigating this big holiday feast and partly because I’ve been better prepared, more comfortable as I’ve aged into this lifestyle of navigating food intolerances, and because I’ve been better at informing and educating the person(s) I share space with.
In light of that, I’m sharing a couple of my favorite recipes for the season, first, a platter of simple and delicious roasted vegetables that pleases just about everyone, and second a Moroccan-inspired seasonal millet, quinoa, and persimmon creation that fits most food intolerances and special diets.
If you have food restrictions that makes joining others for big meals a challenge, are hosting persons with food restrictions, or are just looking for some delicious seasonal whole food dishes for your holiday feasting, look no further. Though our Thanksgivings are always spent traveling to large family gatherings and only have marginal representation from the recipes below, this is the Thanksgiving meal that is my ideal — with a couple special additions per my loved one’s request and some savory recipes that have been big hits in the past. 😊
Roasted Vegetables with Autumn Roots + Mushrooms (Recipe Below)
Persimmon + Grains with Moroccan Seasoning (Recipe Below)
For the Joy Salad
Celery Root + Potato Mash
Wild Rice Stuffing Balls
Celebratory Turkey (the best you can find, brined and rubbed with thyme)
Slow-Cooked Creamy Beans with Thyme, Sage + Oregano
Black Olives and homemade mini-dill pickles, as obligatory (and delicious) table accompaniments
Other savory ideas:
Apple, Fennel + Pomegranate Quinoa Salad
Moroccan Butternut Squash + Wild Rice with Garbanzos
Pumpkin, Sage + Rosemary Baked Risotto
Delicata Squash, Rosemary + Cranberry Flatbread
Simple Vegan Cornbread Stuffing (make with gf cornbread)
Apple Pie with a Fabulous Gluten + Dairy-Free Pastry
Notes about the Menu:
– If you eat turkey and are highly sensitive to gluten, you may need to make sure your turkey has been processed without any gluten-additives. My first recommendation is always to purchase a turkey from a local farmer, if available, but I know that can be asking a lot, especially if you’re not hosting the meal. Otherwise, here is an excellent list of available brands that don’t process with gluten.
– For dairy-free / vegan mashed potatoes, we tend to skip the russet varieties and opt for German Butterball, red potatoes, or Yukon Gold varieties. They have more flavor and moisture, and work well by mashing without butter, and just a bit of non-dairy milk, seasoning, and a splash of olive oil, if desired.
– Most traditional stuffing recipes can be adapted to be gluten-free by using gluten-free bread or cornbread. Use vegetable broth and olive oil or a vegan butter to eliminate animal products.
Roasted Vegetables with Autumn Roots + Mushrooms
– I find roasted vegetables to be pleasing to just about everyone, including picky young eaters and those that ‘don’t like vegetables.’ Just about any vegetable tastes great when roasted correctly, which means that it is deeply golden brown, a little crispy and caramelized around the edges, and soft all the way through.
– I add a bit of herbs and spices to round out the flavors and help support adequate digestion, a needed component with these heavy-feasting meals. Use equal parts of all vegetables or what you have, in an amount to fill your roasting pan or to feed your number of guests.
Small red, striped or golden beets
Red or yellow onions
Mushrooms, any type you prefer
a tablespoon or so of coconut oil per baking sheet to provide moisture and flavor
dry thyme seasoning
Balancing Spice blend (see below)
salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub clean and dice the vegetables and mushrooms until they are medium in size and roughly uniform. Combine them on a large roasting pan and mix in about 1 tablespoon each dried thyme leaves and the Balancing Spice Blend, along with salt and pepper to taste, and just enough coconut oil to provide moisture and flavor (about 1 tablespoon for a large pan).
- Roast in the oven for about 40-60 minutes, until all vegetables are completely soft all the way through. Since the mushrooms will take less time than the rest, you can add them in about half-way through if you’d like them less well-cooked.
Balancing Digestive Spice Blend (makes about 1/4 cup)
1 Tbs. coriander seeds
1 Tbs. cumin seeds
1 tsp. fennel seeds
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 Tbs. ground turmeric
a dash of black pepper
- Toast the coriander, cumin and fennel seeds in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir constantly for approximately 3-5 minutes, until you can just smell them.
- Cool and then grind the seeds together with the rest of the spices until it reaches a uniform powder.
Persimmon + Grains with Moroccan Seasoning, serves 4-6 as a side-dish
– Ras El Hanout is a Moroccan spice blend, somewhat similar to a garam masala. The name actually means “Top of the Shop” and each spice house will usually have their own blend which features their best spices. I made my own (see below), but there are several good ones available to purchase, or improvise with the Balancing Digestive Spice Blend above, or curry powder, knowing it won’t provide quite the same flavor profile.
– Use any gluten-free whole grain such as quinoa, millet, rice, wild rice, buckwheat, etc. I love the combination of millet and quinoa here, but choosing just one also works well.
1/2 cup each of millet and quinoa
1 small onion or 2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. Ras El Hanout
2 Tbs. tahini
1 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
2-4 Tbs. water, as needed
salt and pepper, to taste
a large handful of cilantro, finely minced
1 large persimmon, sliced thin into half-moons
a handful of toasted and chopped hazelnuts or sunflower seeds, as desired for flavor / texture
- If you have the time, cover the grains with a few inches of water in a pot and soak for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse. If you don’t have time for this step, it’s okay!
- In a pot, heat a splash of olive oil on medium and soften the onion and garlic until tender. Add 1 teaspoon of the ras el hanout and sauté until fragrant. Add the grains and stir well to let the flavors infuse for a few minutes. Stir in a big pinch of salt and 2 cups of water, cover, and simmer on low heat until the grains are cooked through, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, remaining clove of garlic and season to taste. Thin as necessary with water.
- Tip the cooked grains into a serving bowl and then toss with the cilantro, tahini dressing, and sliced persimmon. Add the nuts or seeds as desired, stir, and taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Ras el Hanout seasoning
Blend this up by weight or by teaspoons.
4 parts cumin
4 parts ginger
4 parts turmeric
3 parts black pepper
2 parts coriander
2 parts cinnamon
2 parts cayenne
1 part cloves
1 part allspice
1 part cardamom
1 part rose petal powder

The Sydney Morning Herald published an article in mid-June which assessed Indonesia’s coronavirus situation to argue whether the country could be the next coronavirus hotspot.
Achmad Yurianto reminded the public that discipline is necessary during the new normal to minimize the spread of Covid-19 infection.
Indonesia’s new normal transition has been on since early June and it has come with a staggering increase in new daily Covid-19 infections.
After surpassing Singapore which previously had the highest total coronavirus confirmed cases in ASEAN, Indonesia’s total Covid-19 cases stand at over 51,000 as of June 26.
This week, Indonesia has recorded new daily infections in the thousands – a pattern similar to that from previous weeks.
As such, Achmad Yurianto pointed out that remaining productive and safe from the coronavirus must go hand in hand.
He also said that the rising number of Covid-19 infections since the start of the new normal transition can be mitigated.

Mental Health: Depression
Depression is a mood disorder. Clinically diagnosed patients will experience negative emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms. The suffering it causes upon the individual and the individuals family and friends are extreme. Please consult a doctor if you are showing signs of depression lasting longer than two weeks. The serious habitual damage it causes on the psyche deepens over time.
Symptoms of Depression:
Self hate leading to suicidal thoughts, excessive fatigue, lack of motivation, disinterest in physical and social activities, hopelessness, anger and anxiety etc.
Fixation on a subject or an object.
Symptoms of Obsession
Repetitive uncontrollable thoughts, fixation on an idea, person, or object.
A common mental health disorder associated with obsession is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Depression and Obsession:
As I’ve recovered from manic, and seasonal depression, I’ve noticed the correlation of depression and obsession. Purely speculative and based on personal experience when I have given up on my obsessions I enter a state of depression.
I am highly attached and obsessed with health and wellness. Health to me is attributed to creative productivity, balanced interpersonal socialization, activity, and quality positive and neutral perspectives on situations and people (I am not saying I need to like everything people do or say, but an appropriate perspective is important).
When health and wellness is not fulfilled my equilibrium is distorted. If my equilibrium is distorted for enough time it becomes a mental health issue. It develops into habitual (behavioral) depression, in other words a form of habit obsession. Obsessing over the negative thoughts which lead to the symptoms listed above under Depression Symptoms.
Although it isn’t accurate to take ownership of the mental illness under discussion as the title indicates, for purpose of explanation it is ‘my depression’, and it is conducted as follows:
Socialization is a key disinterest when I am in this state. I’d rather sit and dwell on the negative graspable content passing by my conscience. I begin to see people under a microscope. As if I can predict their conversation topics and what they will say and conclude it pointless to take part. An angry reaction will up rise, and I will end up offending someone. Socializing is an important key to health, and acceptance of others contributions to a conversation is also important.
Physical Activity when in this state is not prioritized. It is all together not forgotten, but if I were to be physically active depression would have trouble developing.
Crappy Perspectives begin to develop in unison with the depressive symptoms. Lack of motivation ensues, and it is justified because in a depressive state you are not good enough and in my particular depression and obsession I am too good for this world. The paradox downward spirals until I am completely not good enough because at some point in the spiraling I realize the ego behind my thoughts.
With careful analysis of my symptoms and counseling there is no permanent cure for mental illness, but I’ve found ways of working with it. One is by realizing that habit leads to success or failure, and that obsessions lead to disappointment which lead to negative habits of depression. With positive mental habit training like used by meditation practitioners, one can work with any mental illness. It is hard work, but as I paraphrase Jack Kornfield “Mindfulness meditation is not an act of labor, but an act of love.”

Visual aesthetics are a big part of players being able to immerse themselves in the Crowfall® world and that requires the right lighting. So, we came up with a few bright ideas.
Typically to achieve great lighting, most games will bake their light information into the scene. This allows the scene to benefit from complex lighting calculations utilizing customized light setups, global illumination and light probes to cast color from bounced light onto objects and characters in the scene.
Ein einzigartige Herausforderung
Crowfall’s worlds are procedurally generated. Everything in the world— including the terrain itself—is dynamic, spawned in or destroyed by the players. This presents a unique challenge since we don’t know exactly where all of the terrain elements and props will end up. We could bake the terrain by itself, but all other objects such as trees, rocks, buildings and props would be considered dynamic and would not benefit from the baked lighting. They would need a different lighting solution to help illuminate them in the same way.
After carefully weighing our options, we decided that the best choice was a fully-dynamic solution. There would still be some challenges to resolve, but it was a good starting point.
A fully-dynamic solution can be expensive when you are trying to achieve the same look as baked lighting; however, our day/night cycle and seasons are a big part of the strategy game. We wanted to ensure we could accommodate those as well.
We started by looking at some of the plugin solutions available for Unity. Eventually, we landed on one that gave us the dials we wanted and included some interesting looks for different times of day, weather settings and the ability to trigger different conditions based on location.
This is an image taken from the game using only the single directional light. This is what you have been seeing in the game during pre-alpha.
Eine Lösung für die Belichtung
Through trial and experimentation, we found the right solution that met our goals. The new approach gave us a larger span of control over the changing dynamics around time of day and weather. It also provided the ability to control the color and intensities of things like the light, sky, scattering colors and fog over the course of the day and even the season(s), all of which are instrumental in bringing our game world to life for our players.
Additionally, we were able to add a second directional light to create depth and variation over the course of the day in tandem with the sun’s color and intensity. This approach gives our team more custom control in tuning the lighting than we had before while still maintaining good performance and delivering on the quality of experience we want to deliver for players.
Solving the lighting challenges and others like it are a standard part of developing a game. Design, tech and art teams all work together to build and deliver a holistic experience that hits the quality bar we are trying to achieve for players. I am elated by the path we have chosen and now that we have the tools solidified, I’m eager to see where we can take it once we start incorporating seasonal and biome changes to the environment.
This image is taken at the exact same time of day as the image above. Note the slight bit of rim lighting on the bottom of her body and the overall color and illumination boost from the ambient light.
Und immer weiter
This is not the finish line for our work with lighting. (Of course, the Art team is never content!) I will be making a pass to enhance the depth and visual fidelity by continuing to tune the camera post-processing to dial in on the color grading, bloom, depth of field, etc. I’ve also started working on integrating painted skyboxes painted up for me by our concept lead, Dave G!
As Todd, our creative director and co-founder, was looking over my shoulder reviewing the lighting at different times of day, he asked me to see how far we could push the darkest night visibility while still maintaining illumination on your character and immediate surroundings. It was pretty cool and I look forward to working on that element of the project next. You may see that pop up at some point as we continue to refine our game lighting.

Artist Statement I always felt art was something that linked our essence with our physical being. Whatever I express in my work — ideas, memories, emotions, feelings — I express in subtle ways through color, form, symbols, relationships or contrasts. These things seduce our attention through a silent language that we all speak.
Time and space have always intrigued me, and are often depicted in my work through imagery, surface treatment, or the layering of objects and textures. I often combine contemporary elements with ancient script or symbols to hint of arcane knowledge and the cycle of new emerging from old. I apply the media to build layer upon layer, bringing the ï¬nal image into focus while creating a historical record of each layer. My process is of adding and subtracting to the layers, covering up or exposing sections.
The connective field of energy that I believe surrounds everything finds its way into my work through overlapping planes, transparent images and intermingling colors. the works assume a meditative nature that translates as timeless yet ephemeral. My ideas come from many sources, and I often don’t know how a painting will develop. My current focus is on place, characterized by landscape. The concept of “place” having “being” intrigues me. Like the layering that happens in my work — light, atmosphere, time, space and events all imprint their energy into place, so that each encounter with it evokes a sense of both familiarity and mystery.

Microsatellite launch delayed
The planned January debut of the Defense Department's first tactical microsatellite has been postponed at least a month, because the launch rocket is still being tested, according to the vendor building a new, low-cost rocket.
The TacSat payload hasn't yet left the Naval Research Laboratory, said Gwynne Shotwell, vice president of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. of El Segundo, Calif. The $6 million, 70-foot Falcon I rocket still has to undergo final engine tests, she said.
Microsatellites have been championed as the cornerstone of future battlefield reconnaissance and surveillance. Individual commanders could control the sensors and cameras via the Secret IP Router Network.

I recently inherited an old (most likely from around the turn of the millennium) gateway desktop which is running an Intel Pentium III processor with 128 MB of RAM, a 40 gig
WDC WD400BB-53AUA1 hard disk drive, a NEC DV-5700A DVD/CD drive & a LG CD-RW CED-8083B CDr writable drive.
it had Windows XP installed & running on it when I received it, but I have done a harddrive wipe with Active@ KillDisk. now I am trying to install a linux distro on the machine and it refuses to do anything but throw up an "invalid boot disk" error (I have the BIOS set to only attempt to boot from the CD drive), despite the fact that all three of the different boot disks I have tried to use have been checked & work perfectly on other computers. this is especially confusing since the Active@ KillDisk successfully ran from a burned .ISO
I have tried fiddling with BIOS settings and even temporarily removing the CMOS battery and am running out of ideas. the BIOS version the computer is operating on is EA81510A.15A.0006.P04. unfortunately the BIOS will not let me boot from USB, which means my only option besides getting the CD drive to recognize a boot disc is a floppy drive installation which I'm not to keen on.
any ideas on what else I could try?

AIDS-related stigma as a barrier to HIV testing has not been examined within the context of high at risk environments such as drinking venues. Of particular importance is whether AIDS-related stigma is associated with HIV transmission risks among people who have never been tested for HIV.
We examined: (1) AIDS-related stigma as a barrier to testing, controlling for other potential barriers, and (2) whether stigma is associated with HIV risks among HIV-untested individuals.
We surveyed 2,572 individuals attending informal drinking establishments in Cape Town, South Africa to assess HIV testing status, AIDS-related stigma endorsement, and HIV transmission sexual risk behavior.
Endorsement of AIDS-related stigma was negatively associated with HIV lifetime testing. In addition, stigma endorsement was associated with higher HIV transmission risks.
AIDS-related stigma must be addressed in HIV prevention campaigns across South Africa. Antistigma messages should be integrated with risk reduction counseling and testing.

Geoff Tate of Queensryche
Queensryche, the quintessential kings of concept albums, return with their latest work of art – American Soldier. The album takes you on a rollercoaster ride of the up close and personal and sometimes gut-wrenching perspectives of our American heroes, the veterans of war.
From the opening track “Sliver,” which starts out where a lot of soldiers do, boot camp, to “At 30,000 Ft,” a song fittingly about a pilot’s experience from the air, the album resonates throughout and takes the listener through a broad range of emotions from sadness to pride to overwhelming gratitude. On one of the more touching tracks, “Home Again,” Tate shares lead vocal duties with his ten year old daughter on a song inspired by a soldier’s letters to those back home while he was at war.
The album is dedicated to the soldiers from start to finish including some special guest appearances from a few of them.
Queensryche frontman Geoff Tate took some time to talk to us about the personal nature of the album, what he hopes people will take for it and how it has affected him personally.
Interviewed by: Mary Ouellette | 2009
You’ve said that the whole idea for American Soldier stemmed from a conversation that you had with your Dad, can you tell is about the origin of that?
I grew up in a military family, my dad was a veteran of Korean War and Vietnam, and he spent his career in the military. He spent 20 years in the Air Force, retired and went back to work for the Navy after that here in the Seattle area. All through my life he never talked about his experience in war, he brushed it aside and preferred to talk about the technical aspect of things than the emotional impact of what he went through. Even though I questioned him about it over the years, he just never seemed comfortable talking about it. Then in 2006 we were on tour with the band and I had a day off and I was visiting him in Oklahoma where he lives. We were sitting on the back porch drinking some ice tea and he just started talking about it. My jaw hit the floor, luckily I had my video camera with me and I stuck it up on the picnic table and started recording the conversation we had.
Weeks later I was playing the video tape back for my kids and wife and my wife was actually the one who suggested that I write a song about my Dad’s experience. I thought that was a great idea, I had never done anything like that before and so really that was the catalyst for it; looking at his story and wondering about other people’s stories in a similar situation, wondering if there were any similarities, so that got me talking with different solider that I met at airports and backstage at our shows, what started as a casual conversation ended up becoming interviews, as the project evolved I realized I would probably benefit from recording interviews properly and that evolved into filming them. Long story short, I ended up collecting hundreds of hours of interviews with soldiers with different backgrounds with different stories from different conflicts from World War II to the present. I wrote outlines for the stories that I found that were similar themes and brought those to the band. They ended up listening to the interviews, reading my outlines and writing songs around them.
You said that your Dad had never talked about his time in the military until just recently, what do you think it was that made him want to talk about it after all this time?
I really don’t know. What I found through my research was that it’s very common for people his age to start reminiscing about their life and collecting their thoughts about it. Perhaps they go through a sort of an emotional management process and this becomes a point where they are willing or able to talk about it. For my dad’s generation specifically it seems very common for soldiers his age to being talking about it in their sixties and seventies, which he is in his late seventies now.
You interviewed soldiers from different parts of the military and different eras prior to writing the songs. How did you get in touch with them? Were they aware of the album before the interview process or what was the general idea going into it?
It really came down to a word of mouth process. Talking with specific people I met at airports or backstage at shows, they would give me phone numbers or put me in contact with people that they thought had interesting stories or would be interested in talking. It was a varied group of people which I found very interesting. Some people were very open and willing and able to talk about their experiences and other people were very closed off about it. It was really dependent on where they were at emotionally in their lives and how much time had passed between their experiences and the present.
I think one of the most fascinating things you’ve said about this album is that it’s not political at all; it’s a statement for the soldiers. Do you think there will be people that can’t see beyond the political aspect of it and if so, what would you say to them?
You mean people who will read something into it that’s not there? (chuckle) Well its art. Music is art, it’s not a sporting event and I think a lot of times in our culture we treat it like a sporting event, we attach scores to music and we use rating systems and we use terms like best and worst and those are competitive terms. Art is subjective, it’s all very much a personal experience and how art affects you is also subjective and personal. For instance you could be walking through one of the great museums of the world with artwork from everywhere and walk right past paintings and artwork that doesn’t move you and you can be captured and be moved by something else and stop and really feel something from it. It’s all very dependent on the individual and music is that way as well. I’m sure you’ve probably experienced this, you’ve heard pieces of music that really affect you and they become important to you and they become the background of your life signifying specific events or instances you’ve had and that’s all very personal stuff. So, this album, for example, wasn’t put together from a political standpoint at all, it was put together from actual stories from actual soldiers who have been there. One of the things I realized right off in talking with various soldiers was that I was coming at it from a platform of complete ignorance. I’ve never been a soldier, I’ve never been in war, I’ve never had a gun pointed in my face, I’ve never had to react, Ive never had to defend my country, so I didn’t know anything about it. I think one of the things that we often fall victim to in our culture is speculation. We speculate about everything, even things we don’t know about. I didn’t want to be in that position. I wanted to explore the actual real events and real affects and the real stories, so this is the first record that isn’t about me to some degree, it’s about other people and I was merely acting as a biographer. People will read into it what they will, there’s no way to get around that. People will take a statement you make and completely take it out of context and apply their own meanings to it and I learned awhile ago not to fight that, it’s just human nature in some people.
You actually just touched on this a bit, the songs on this album as you mentioned weren’t your own experiences you were writing about other people’s stories, did that present a whole new challenge for you and how was that writing process, drawing from other peoples stories?
It was a completely different process for me. I was really looking for commonalities in the experiences of the soldiers, once I found those commonalties that’s what I focused on as far as making a story out of it. Some of the songs are actual one on one events describing someone’s personal experience and others are a composite of a number of different stories put together that had commonalities involved with it. It was a completely different process and one that was very challenging for the band because what we ended up doing was reading the outlines I wrote, watching the interviews I conducted, being moved by the event and creating music to help support and tell the story.
Queensryche is no stranger to concept albums, but did you have any fear going into a concept album about something that is so real and touches so many people on a very personal level and doing it justice?
I don’t think so. Again, music is of course is a personal journey, what we find to be the most advantageous way to approach it was to collectively witness the story and then what comes from that is an emotional response. You try to portray that emotion in a way that best suits the subject matter. You try to find musical passages that connect with the emotions and rhythm structures that help propel the story along. It’s a really interesting way to work, one that’s kind of different than we would normally work in creating a song but in a lot of ways similar because again you’re tapping into, whenever you write a song you’re speaking from an emotional standpoint of some sort, whether your own experience or one that you’re getting from someone else.
Delving into the music a little bit, one of the songs has a Middle Eastern sound to it and on another song a guitar was used to recreate the sound of an airplane. Did those ideas develop as the stories were told or were they ideas from the start?
A little bit of both, you have the story and it takes place in a location, for instance, you try to create a location sounds cape based on that location, again it’s all revolving around telling a story.
There are parts of the album that actually incorporate some of the soldiers, with some spoken word parts and a singing part, can you tell us a little bit about that.
In listening back to the interviews, some of them were just incredibly emotional. We thought a really good way to establish that emotional connection would be to actually include the person that went through it in the song itself, that way it’s very much the soldiers own words. It helps connect to the listener in a way that is probably more poignant than a third person telling of it.
It was interesting, this was the first project I’ve ever done like this where I conducted interviews so I really had to learn how to do that. Even though I’ve been involved with thousands of interviews over my career this was the first time I’d ever been on the other end of the microphone and I walked away from the whole event having a much deeper respect from a journalists standpoint because it’s not easy to get people to open up and talk about stuff. Its different for someone like me for example, part of my job is to explain what it is we do, but from a soldier’s standpoint, it’s not their job, their telling experiences that happened to them, sometimes very emotional, and getting them to open up about that sometimes is very successful. Sometimes I talked to people who were very emotionally connected to themselves and could describe and talk about their experiences and other times it was like pulling teeth and getting one word answers. Some of the interviews are difficult to watch because you can see me struggling to get something from them and them holding back and other ones are very difficult to watch because they’re so emotional. I have a lot of film footage of people crying and opening up and how they felt when they were trying to save the life of their best friend and couldn’t, and how they carried the guilt around with them for years and you watch that and it’s hard not to be affected.
Your ten year old daughter has a part on the album as well. I’m curious as to how that fell into place, I know the song is a dialogue between a father and a daughter, how did your own daughter become involved, has she been singing or was this more of an on the fly thing?
It was definitely an on the fly decision. It was kind of interesting how it happened. On Wednesdays my daughter has a class in the building where my studio is and I had just finished writing the song Home Again. I had sung the vocal parts and written the words and I had just finished working on it and she walked in after school, threw her books on the table and asked me what I was working on. I told her I had just written a new song and asked her if she wanted to hear it. I played it for her and she was reading the lyrics and after it was over I looked at her and she had tears running down her face. So I asked her if she liked it and she looked at me and said “Dad you’ve never written a song about me before” and I said “well what do you mean?” And she said “well isn’t this written about me and you? “ And I asked her what she meant by that and she said “well you’re gone so much and god I miss you so much and sometimes I call you and you don’t answer” and I thought, wow that’s interesting and I asked her if she wanted to sing the song with me because there’s a part for you to sing and she said yes. So she just whipped it out, put the headphones on, I was all excited trying to technically get it working because her voice is a different volume than mine but she just sang the song and she had so much emotion in it and she gave it that feeling of innocence and speaking from her heart. It was just a magical moment. I played it back for my wife and band they were very excited about it.
It’s just another example of how music affects people in different ways, even though she read the lyrics, she saw herself in it and applied it to her life and rightly so because there are things in that song that she experiences and I experiences with her and I think It speaks to people on a number of different levels and different backgrounds.
Have the people that have been involved in the interviews, have they heard the whole album yet, wondering what kind of feedback your getting from them?
Very positive. Again its sort of interesting for example, some of the interviews I did are several years old and they couldn’t remember what they said and so they’re listening back to it now and hearing it in the context in some cases a direct interpretation of their life experience so is interesting for them and sometimes very emotional. One of the soldiers who heard it said “you just hit it right on the head; this is my life, thank you.” So it’s something that they can hold on to throughout their life too. One of the things that kind of drove me personally about making this record is that over the years you get feedback from fans and they’d tell you about the situation they were in when they first heard it and how it affected them and became a part of their lives and a lot of the people we hear from are soldiers in different conflicts, The Gulf War for example, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, and they are using our music to help get them through a situation, to inspire them, or calm them down or center them so they can focus on what they need to do. If anything I would like this record to be for them, so they can realize that when they are far away from their homes and their families that this is an album about them and they might find some strength in it by listening to these stories and feel connected in some way that they’re not there alone, that someone understands what they’re going through.
Yes, I think that’s very powerful. I think like you said earlier, people speculate, but for those of us who have never been in that position this album give us a way to connect with them through the music.
We don’t really know what happens. The cover art is a soldier’s boots standing there alone. In a way this is a way for the listener to spend an hour listening and living in those soldier’s boots. How can you know me until you walk in my shoes. This is a way that the rest of us can understand what they go through and appreciate them because that’s another thing that happens, we take that for granted, we don’t have to worry about an occupying force kicking in our doors and taking our children and selling them into slavery which happens all the time in other parts of the world, we don’t have to worry about defending our patch of ground because someone else is doing that for us and we should never take that for granted.
The tour starts in April and is going to have three “suites” from different albums which seems very ambitious, can you tell us a little about that and what fans can expect?
We’re going to focus on three albums – of course American Soldier and we’re going to bookend that with our 1986 album Rage for Order and our 1990 album Empire, which are two of our fans favorite albums so we’re going to be showcasing those songs. We’ve been rehearsing all the songs on all three so we’ll interject and change the songs around nightly so people have the opportunity to come to different shows and hear all of the songs.

The lower the embodied energy of an insulating product, the lower its overall environmental impact and the faster its environmental payback will be. The environmental payback for an insulating product occurs when it has effectively conserved more energy by restricting heat loss or gain, than its initial embodied energy figure.
In the case of insulating products in energy saving applications the environmental payback period is generally extremely short, compared with the lifetime of the application. After the environmental payback is complete, the insulating products can go on saving energy for many years more. Because of this, the energy saved over the lifetime of an application is mostly far greater than the embodied energy of the insulating products saving that energy. Embodied energy is therefore usually irrelevant in the specification of insulating products.
In comparing the embodied energies of materials, the concept of a functional unit must be taken into account. In the case of ductwork insulation, the functional unit depends upon firstly, the density of the insulation and secondly, the thickness of insulation required to achieve a defined heat loss / gain. This thickness will vary depending upon the thermal conductivity (λ-value) of the insulation material. Thickness and thermal conductivity are used in calculation of the material thermal resistance (R-value) of the insulant, by dividing its thickness by its thermal conductivity.

My choice for a book published in 2018 on the 2018 Reading Challenge list was among the easiest of all the categories. Two years ago, Truthwitch was released. I found that book via Twitter and knew I wanted to read it and it joined my 2016 reading list. In 2017, Windwitch was released and I read that one too. Therefore, knowing Sightwitch was due to be released in 2018, I knew I would read it anyway, list or no list.
Though Sightwitch wasn’t the Witchlands book I was hoping to read this year – super excited for Bloodwitch! – I didn’t hesitate to pick this one up as soon as I could.
Sightwitch is written as an illustrated journal that tells the story of Ryber Fortiza. In it she relays her story of how she became the last Sightwitch. Interspersed with Ryber’s journal entries are the writings of another Sightwitch who lived long before Ryber’s time. It includes drawings, maps and passages out of other books, all that help bring Ryber’s story to it’s conclusion.
This is a short, but powerful interlude in the Witchlands series. It gives more background into the magic that exists in the Witchlands, and my understanding is, it sets up at least part of what is to come in the next book.
I wasn’t sure how I’d like the unusual format. For the first part of the book, at least, it was a little difficult to follow what was happening. But it is woven together very well, and I was easily drawn into the narrative.
It was a quick read that I enjoyed very much. Though I am still anxiously waiting for Bloodwitch to be released.


Holocaust film-maker is told to 'get back in the oven' by literary magazine editor as witness reveals separate anti-Semitic abuse by Corbynistas
- Dr Leslie Jones, editor of the Quarterly Review Magazine, launched rant
- She told BBC's Henrietta Foster to 'get back in oven' at Proms reception
- Witness Martin Bright said he has been targeted with anti-Semitic abuse
- He criticised Labour Party for suspending Jewish donor Michael Foster
A former adviser to Tony Blair has told of his shock at witnessing an anti-Semitic rant at a Proms reception.
Martin Bright, a former Observer journalist who once worked for the former Prime Minister’s Faith Foundation, was horrified when BBC journalist Henrietta Foster was told by a fellow guest to ‘get back in the oven’ – a reference to the gas chambers used by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
The fellow guest, who has been identified by The Mail on Sunday as Dr Leslie Jones, the editor of the Quarterly Review magazine, made the comment in reference to an appearance Ms Foster made in My Nazi Legacy, a documentary about the children of Hitler’s officers.

Martin Bright (pictured), a former Observer journalist who once worked for the former Prime Minister’s Faith Foundation, was horrified when BBC journalist Henrietta Foster was told by a fellow guest to ‘get back in the oven’
Mr Bright was targeted by anti-Semitic supporters of Jeremy Corbyn last week when he criticised the Labour Party for suspending Jewish donor Michael Foster for likening Mr Corbyn’s leadership cabal to the ‘Sturmabteilung’, or Nazi stormtroopers, in this newspaper.
One Corbynite told him on Twitter: ‘Foster is the epitome of the negative caracature [sic] of Jews. He ENCOURAGES anti-Semitism by his own actions.’
Another said: ‘Removal of the vile Michael Foster from Labour was superb. Corbyn should remove the rest of the Zionist 5th column.’
Mr Bright said the incidents taken together made him worry that ‘something has happened over the past months in this country to give a licence to the open expression of anti-Semitic views’.
Last night Ms Foster (unrelated to Michael Foster), who is writing a history of Hungarian Jews, said she thought Dr Jones had made the remark at the reception on the Friday before the last night of the proms, because he incorrectly thought she was Jewish.

She said: ‘We had fallen out at a previous reception over Brexit – I told him to **** off because he had voted out. Then he came over to me last Thursday and said, “You were in that film, weren’t you?”, and told me I was cruel in my filmed question to the son of a Nazi officer.
‘Then he just said: “Get back in the oven. Do you understand me? Just get back in the oven.” ’
After Mr Bright and another guest remonstrated with Dr Jones, he insisted that it had been a joke. Dr Jones last night declined to comment.

Sleepless nights spent tossing, and turning can be overwhelming. Whether it’s stress that’s keeping you awake or too much energy, the lack of sleep can certainly take a toll on your mental and physical health. As a result, you may feel groggy, restless, or just plain tired the next day. But there is a possible solution that can give relief.
Consider taking CBD oil for sleep and rest to give you the energy you need to face the day. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compounds from the cannabis plant that comes in various forms and may be the perfect solution to help you catch z’s.
This article will explore CBD and sleep patterns and how recent studies show that cannabidiol is a natural remedy growing in popularity. Then, we’ll take a look at everything you need to know about how CBD oils help with sleeping, including when and how much to take to feel better.
What is CBD Oil?
The cannabis, or hemp plant, is highly versatile. Originally from central Asia, the plant is now known worldwide, and people use its fiber, oil, and seeds for a variety of uses. Hemp fiber is commonly used for textiles such as clothing, rope, yarn, rugs, paper, and more. Explore CBD further.
CBD oil comes from the leaves, flowers, and stalks of hemp plants and is used for health issues such as mood, stress, skin conditions, and more. You can also use hemp seeds as a source of magnesium, which may help with blood pressure, cholesterol issues, and preventative heart diseases.
UK residents can take CBD oil as long as it contains less than 0.2% THC per product. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main chemical in marijuana that alters the user’s state of mind and makes people feel “high.” The small to absent legal amount of THC in CBD oil is not enough to produce psychoactive effects. CBD typically stays in your system for 2 to 5 days or more.
The World Health Organization has determined that CBD oil is safe for consumption and not addictive.
Does CBD Oil Help You Sleep?
Sleep issues can range from restless nights to insomnia. Whether these ailments result from external conditions or related health issues, CBD oil may provide relief.
Insomnia, defined as a sleep disorder that prevents going to or staying asleep, is a common illness. According to an Aviva study in 2017, one in three adults suffers from insomnia. Stress is often linked as the leading cause of insomnia. So whether you are worrying about work, health, family, or finances, these stressful life events may cause anxiety and insomnia.
If you have trouble sleeping, taking CBD oil may provide relief. Recently, there was a three-year study that showed preliminary results of CBD offering therapeutic treatment. Researchers found that CBD oil helped reduce nightmares for those with PTSD and improved sleep for those with chronic pain.
Currently, there are clinical trials for CBD oil taking place around the world. The results of these trials and the effectiveness of CBD are still being determined, but the scientific and medical communities generally agree on the potential benefits. Over the recent years, CBD has become a popular natural remedy for everyday issues.
How To Take CBD Oil
After you decide to take CBD oil for sleep treatments, you will need to determine how to administer the supplement. There are benefits and to each method, so it’s recommended that you choose what’s best for you and your lifestyle.
The common methods of taking CBD oil for sleep related issues are:
There is also a CBD cream or topical application, but this method is typically used for sore muscles, and various skin conditions. It may help with trouble sleeping by massaging the cream on your temples or neck, but there is not enough research to determine its effectiveness.
Let’s take a look at the other ways to use CBD oil in more detail:
In this article we discuss the benefits of getting a good night’s rest by vaping CBD oil. Vaping is a relatively new method but effective in combating sleep issues.
An e-cigarette, or a “vape”, is an alternative to smoking that is increasing in popularity. There are devices such as vapes, vape pens, and e-cigarettes that heat up a liquid and turn it into vapor that the user inhales. You are “vaping” when you use this kind of device.
When you vape CBD oil, it immediately enters your system and starts taking effect. The vapor starts in your lungs and travels throughout your body, and with each inhalation you add more CBD to your system.
Bioavailability is the rate that a substance enters and affects the system. Vaping CBD oil has a bioavailability between 34-46%, the highest of all possible methods.
Vape devices come in various shapes, sizes, and colors and can be filled with nicotine or CBD oil. Pre-filled disposable CBD vape pens are an easy and inexpensive way to take CBD for sleep related issues. Or you can buy prefilled CBD vape cartridges for your safety, and to ensure the product is compliant with UK law.
You must be at least 18 years old to buy if you are new to the vape world in the UK.
Amphora offers everything to build a Vape Starter Kit Bundle to get you started. It comes with a vape pen, one CBD vape cartridge of your choice of effect, a charging cable, and a protective case.
CBD Oil Drops (sublingual)
Another way to take CBD oil to help with sleepless nights is by the sublingual method.
The sublingual method administers your CBD supplement by placing it under the tongue to be absorbed through your sublingual gland. It is slowly absorbed into your system and provides relief 3 to 10 times greater than taking a drug orally, due to bioavailability
To take CBD oil sublingually, place the drops under your tongue and hold them in place for 20 - 30 seconds. You only need a small amount of CBD with high strength oil drops, and the dropper is a great way to manage the dosage.
The effects of CBD tend to last longer when taken sublingually and you don’t need any extra equipment to get relief. The earthy taste may be too difficult for some users to tolerate, however CBD oil drops are versatile and can be added to food and drinks to improve the taste.
For a more traditional method of receiving treatment, consider CBD capsules.
CBD capsules, or pills, are taken orally with water or juice and provide an efficient way to take cannabis for sleep relief. The capsules are easy to ingest and are usually available in potencies of 10mg, 25mg, and 50mg.
For people who don’t like the earthy flavor of oil drops, CBD capsules provide a another solution for ingesting CBD. Users typically don’t taste the CBD oil when consuming it via capsules.
Another benefit of CBD capsules is that they are discreet.. If taking CBD is not quite mainstream for your community, taking CBD capsules may be the perfect solution to get relief without judgement.
Another indiscreet method of taking cannabis for sleepless nights is edibles. You may be familiar with marijuana edibles such as brownies or candy, but CBD edibles don’t have the THC element. It’s the same idea of infusing food with cannabis but for supplemental purposes without the high.
Edibles are a method that has been around for several years. Finding the correct dosage may be difficult, and it takes longer for the CBD to take effect, but eating edibles may be more enjoyable than vaping CBD oils or taking capsules. Alternately, You can also mix edible CBD oils with various foods and drinks to find the taste you prefer.
Or you can buy CBD edibles online or at a local store. CBD edibles are legal in the UK, but they must contain the legal limit of THC (less than 0.2%), and you should purchase them from a reliable source.
When you buy CBD from a trusted source, the bottle will have a label of ingredients and the brand will supply a readily available lab test. However, it’s too risky to purchase edibles from an unreliable source because you won’t know the ingredients or how much THC is in the product.
Smoking CBD Concentrate
One of the quickest ways to enjoy CBD is by smoking or inhaling the CBD oil through a pipe-like device. Although smoking is the fastest way to get CBD into your system, it’s also the most destructive on your throat and lungs.
Although it’s fast and effective, smoking CBD also leaves your system quicker than other methods and getting the right dosage is unreliable.
If you want to inhale your CBD, vaping is better than smoking. Because vaping comes in pre-filled pens or cartridges, you know what ingredients are in it and the exact amount of CBD that you are inhaling.
When To Take CBD Oil For Sleep
Anxiety and stress are usually the reason for sleepless nights. A recent anxiety and sleep study shows that CBD and sleep are compatible. More than 66% of patients in the study reported better sleep scores within the first month of treatment.
To improve your own sleeping patterns, it is recommended that you take CBD at least one hour before going to bed. And take CBD daily for best effects. It’s not possible to overdose on CBD and it will help with overall health.
CBD Oil Dosage for Sleep
We recommend to start at a low dose and increase gradually to an amount you’re comfortable with. Again, you can’t overdose on CBD, but you want to find the happy-medium of enough CBD oil to provide relief but not too much that leaves you drowsy all day.
Who Should Take CBD Oil to Sleep
CBD oil is becoming a common treatment for many health issues. If you are suffering from lack of sleep, CBD can help you feel better. It’s also known to reduce stress, help reduce pain, clear up acne, and reduce cancer-related symptoms such as nausea.
In the UK, it is legal for adults 18 years and older to purchase CBD oils. You can buy online or at retail stores across the country. You will want to purchase from a professional and trustworthy seller so that you have confidence in the product. Sleeping a full night with sweet dreams can be reality again when you take CBD oil.

A group, YouthNext, on Thursday staged a peaceful rally at the Lagos State House of Assembly urging the lawmakers to help in ensuring that youths play more active part in politics and governance.
The group called on the Lagos Assembly to back the Not Too Young To Run Bill passed by the National Assembly as well as that on independent candidacy in the ongoing process to amend the 1999 constitution.
Members of the group, carrying placards with various inscriptions, chanted solidarity songs which include “All we are saying, give us a chance,” and “Youths, we want to lead.”
In her address, Mrs Moremi Ojudu, the Coordinator of the group said that the time had come for the youth to take key positions of leadership.
Ojudu said the way forward for the nation was to take away all impediments on the way of the youths seeking to assume such positions.
“YouthNext is an organisation which centers on engaging youths in politics on the need for them to get involved in politics.
“We are out to ensure that we have a good representation of youths at all levels of government.
“The Not Too Young To Run Bill” has been passed by the National Assembly; we are here to urge members of the Lagos State House of Assembly to make sure that the bill is domesticated here,” she said.
According to her, theNigerian youth have the energy, vibrancy and all they need to make positive impact.
Ojudu also urged the lawmakers to support the independent candidature bill, when it comes to them.
The group appealed to the lawmakers to prevail on their political parties to ensure rebate in nomination form for the youth, to address the challenge of finance dissuading many of them from participating in politics.
Addressing the group, the Majority Leader of the House, Mr Sanai Agunbiade, congratulated them for taking the right avenue in making their requests.
“The two issues you raised have scaled through the National Assembly, and States Assembly have the knowledge.
“Though we cannot vouch 100 per cent support by all state Houses of Assembly, the Lagos Assembly has been a progressive assembly led by progressive elements. So, everything progressive, we will support,” he said.
Agunbiade, however, said that the issue of domestication raised by the protesters was not necessary, since once amendments scaled through state houses of assembly, they would become laws for all.
“It is a constitutional issue, everybody is bound by it. The issue of domestication does not come into it. The issue is adherence to the tenets of the constitution.
“The constitution is the ground norm which everybody must obey.”
The lawmaker advised the youths against offering themselves as instruments of violence and thuggery, urging them to, rather, mobilise and join political parties so that their voices could count. (NAN)

We can not all be the same. Our strengths lie in our differences and not similarities. If we were all the same the world would be a very boring place to live. All of us with our differences
complete the society. I like to compare everything to my writing experiences. There has always been a broad discussion about introverts and extroverts. Introverts are mostly referred to as loners. But as an introvert I would like to say this is not the case. A literary definition of an extrovert is a narrator of an epic story, novel or scripture while an introvert is a person who varies their narratives from novels to short stories and verses. We have to have all types of stories and narrations to be able to embrace literacy, same applies to personality.
