"" I’m committed to good governance and democracy. My strong conviction is that good governance is only possible with the support of the people. After all, democracy is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. So our policies are centered on the people. Everything we have been doing is for the citizenry. Free Education Policy for instance is to open up the space so that every child can access qualitative education that will release their potential. We are building people and re-energizing the state. Every policy comes with its own challenge but we keep improving on it with good leadership and technology. Free Education at the lower levels is complemented by slashed tuition fees at the tertiary level. This has greatly cushioned the effect of the current economic downturn as wards and parents are really grateful. Leadership exists for this kind of thing: improving the lives of people.."

"In today’s interconnected world, no country can succeed in isolation without collaboration and partnership between nations. This conference (Munich Security Conference) provides a platform to strengthen those bonds and explore new opportunities for mutual growth. Nigeria, as one of Africa’s largest economies, is rich with potential, and the government is actively implementing policies designed to attract foreign investment. By deepening our understanding of global economic trends and fostering stronger international cooperation, we can craft policies that not only align with global standards but also drive sustainable economic growth for all involved."

"I think a lot of scholars don't realize how the information about the work that they've done is so tightly held and controlled by proprietary databases. Not even just the content of your papers, but just the information about it. There is no publicly accessible open source repository for all of it. Wikidata is definitely a step in the right direction. And this is something that's extremely important. This is this is why I like to I like to talk about Wikipedia and wiki projects as being like public media institutions. To contrasted this with, you know, all of the, the corporate and corporate entities that libraries and archives are beholden to. When I talk about Wikipedia with students, I think a lot of times that they immediately imagine that Wikipedia is a company like all the other companies and that's the only sort of model that they've ever considered. I think we really need to sort of sort of break through that line of thinking and the way that we do our work doesn't have to fall under the auspices of, entities like, like OCLC. I mean, not that they're not doing good work, but that, you know, that they we could create different kinds of more flexible and open models for sharing the work that we all do."

"In 2006, when the vote on the definition of "planet" was made, and the eight dominant bodies in the solar system were declared (quite rationally) a class separate from the others, a new class of objects was defined. The "dwarf planets" are all of those objects which are not one of the eight dominant bodies (Mercury through Neptune) yet still, at least in one way, resemble a planet. In other words, a dwarf planet is something that looks like a planet, but is not a planet. Specifically this means that dwarf planets are bodies... large enough to become round due to their own gravitational attraction...How many dwarf planets are there? Ceres is the only asteroid that is known to be round. After that it gets complicated. All of the rest of the new dwarf planets are in the distant... Kuiper belt, where we can't actually see them well enough to know for sure if they are round or not."

"Dwarf planet Makemake – along with Pluto, Haumea, and Eris – is located in the Kuiper Belt, a donut-shaped region of icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune."

"Serious investors can now take unfettered advantage of Nigeria’s growing investment climate to tap from the limitless opportunities in the country and the African continent."

"As far as genre descriptors go, post-punk is pretty vague—let’s just get that out of the way immediately. In the late ’70s, punk bands like the Sex Pistols and Buzzcocks began tiring of the standard rock tropes, and members went on to experiment in different directions, inspiring others—particularly in the UK and New York, but also in places like Cleveland and Athens, Ga.—to incorporate unusual sounds, from electronica to free jazz to world music, into their punk-rock roots. The results were as musically and lyrically diverse as they were artistically vital. Post-punk lyrics could be scathingly political or absurdly nonsensical. There was an anger to much of the music, but it was often masked by a playfulness. These were musicians interested in seeing where music could go."

"When used wisely, symphonic components can amplify the emotional intensity of metal to dangerous levels while also allowing the sophistication of the artists involved to shine."

"To some people, new wave was the music made by bands who were too traditionally melodic to be classed as punk; bands that believed in good ol’ songwriting, in craft and – shock horror – quite liked the idea of having a hit (step forward The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, The Police etc). To others, new wave music was the futuristic, keyboard-based music made by people inspired as much by Berlin-era Bowie and Kraftwerk’s Trans-Europe Express as by punk itself (Human League, Cabaret Voltaire, Ultravox, Gary Numan et al). Then there’s the ‘art-punks’ – Wire, Gang Of Four, Pere Ubu, Delta 5, The Raincoats – bands obsessed with the form of their music, of avoiding ‘rockist' clichés and aiming for something more avant-garde and challenging. If these three camps are distinct enough, then consider that ska-punks like The Specials, The Beat and The Selecter are also considered part of the same movement/phenomenon and suddenly you’re faced with a musical genre that is futuristic-yet-retro, avant-garde-yet-traditional, populist-yet-obscure, solipsistic on one hand, political on the other."

"The MaskPark incident exposes the extreme vulnerability of Chinese women in digital spaces. What’s even more insidious and shocking is the prevalence of perpetrators known to the victims: partners, boyfriends, even fathers committing sexual violence against underage girls. [...] With the rise of deepfake technologies and rapid online circulation of surreptitiously filmed content, women’s bodies are being digitally exploited at an unprecedented scale, but I believe if authorities are truly willing, and invest the necessary resources, it’s entirely possible to trace and prosecute these crimes. We need to hold the Chinese government accountable."

"Them doctors and nurses... They couldn't hold me in!"

"We won’t know the full impact of a band like Avenged Sevenfold and a player like Synyster Gates for several years, but this is a band that moves the needle with young people in a way most of the players on the list just don’t have the ability to do. No other band on Rock radio is as unafraid as A7X to flex their chops. They helped open doors that huge gateway bands like Black Veil Brides and Asking Alexandria continue to expand. They are one of the biggest metal bands around the globe, and their image may turn you off, but Synyster is a world-class musician who has trained in Classical and Jazz. His style is somewhere between other list selections John Petrucci, Slash, and Marty Friedman, but he does have a special commodity that is truly his own. Slash inspired me to pick up a guitar, and without a doubt, thousands of kids decide to pick one up everyday because of Avenged Sevenfold and Synyster Gates. That should be commended and respected."

"If the President insists that the security chiefs are doing their work well, the logical implication is that the president himself as the commander-in-chief of the country , has failed in his most redimentary assignment of security the nation"

"If it weren’t obvious enough from album titles and covers such as The Archaic Course, Winter Thrice and True North, Borknagar specialize in bringing frosty vibes and Nordic themes of tribalism, folklore and paganism to the stylistic landscape. Like Enslaved, they got going with Viking metal but soon transitioned into English-spoken progressive black metal with folk accentuations, and they’ve persevered through many lineup changes since 1995 to fine-tune their sound. Their winning aesthetic was present right out of the gate, with the sharp riffs, acoustic strums, clannish bellows and/or towering clean singing of “Nord naagauk” and “The Eye of Oden” establishing Borknagar’s gratifying brand. Admittedly, their music became lusher and better produced over time – which goes against black metal’s fundamental griminess – but they never abandoned what made them unique (“The Black Canvas,” “Fleshflower,” “Erodent,” “Unraveling”). 30 years on, Borknagar still reign supreme in terms of creating exhilarating rallying cries and heartfelt reflections built upon triumphant singing, devilish screams, wintry environments and richly intense music."

"Peter Hook has had a fractious relationship with New Order over the years, and the two factions have been engaging in legal wrangling over the use of the name. Before that he, of course, was part of Joy Division, playing alongside Ian Curtis and Bernard Sumner until Curtis's tragic suicide in 1980. It was with Joy Division where he developed his famous high-note style, claiming that the amp he learnt on was so bad that he could only play high notes in order to hear himself!"

"Californium-252 (Cf-252) is a radioactive chemical element that was discovered in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory. Since then, Cf-252 has become a leading neutron source for a variety of applications ranging from neutron spectroscopy to gold and silver prospecting, and much more. Strong neutron emissions from Cf-252 enable it to serve as a powerful fuel and information source. However, the element’s extremely radioactive nature can create health risks if one is directly exposed to it. Just one microgram of Cf-252 can release 170 million neutrons per minute, and, if ingested, can damage the skeleton, liver, and other parts of the body."

"These pot-smoking musical maniacs in the grindcore band Cephalic Carnage are responsible for some of the most complex, intricate devil music that combines death metal, prog, stoner jazz, and experimental noise into one autonomous grindcore sound. The band's tempos are beyond insane and the drumming and bass lines will send you on a constant freefall rollercoaster. The rabid vocals and frenzied guitar riffs peel away at your insides, but then everything drops into an ambient instrumental trance for a split few seconds. This is music that will make you head bang, or convulse, possibly both."

"Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s no surprise that ‘The View’s’ ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air."

"The people of Chiangmai are open, friendly, and sunny on the surface but deep, self-contained, and unfathomable beneath. The contradictions in their personalities are like the contrasts in their religious culture between the lovely, if somewhat garish, temple, with its delightful ceremonies, and their witches, with heads of horses, mouths frothing with blood, who are believed to canter through the village at night. Superficially Chiangmai villagers are charming, colorful, and carefree people, but underneath they have dark and brooding natures, with abiding hates, jealousies, and fears that pass from one generation to another."
