About the Interviewee

ADESIYAN OLUWAPELUMI, TPC XI, is a young genre-bending creative who scribes from Ibadan, Nigeria. He is an Honourable Mention in the 2022 Coexist Lit International Metamorphosis Writing Contest, Winner of the Cheshire White Ribbon Day Creative Competition, & a shortlist in the August/September 2022 edition of the Brigitte Poirson Poetry Contest.


Chit-Chat, Poetics & Ethos

JOEL: Let me start by asking – who you are.

ADESIYAN: I am a student of Medicine and Surgery, a literary enthusiast, a creative writer, a
poetry editor & a Christian. I currently reside in Oyo state with my family. I hail from Osun State,
Nigeria. Lastly, I am a member of The Poetic Collective.

JOEL: What else is not on your bio – something very unique about you?

ADESIYAN: I enjoy listening to Nigerian music a lot, & bingeing on movies. My favourite Nigerian musicians are Johnny Drille & Brymo because of their soulful & poetic style of music. Another fun fact about me is that I am addicted to fresh tomatoes (laughs). Also, when I am not writing poems or studying science textbooks, I enjoy playing chess, & reading romance novels, so you could say I am a romantic.

JOEL: Romantic? Well, your wife would know the truth (laughs). When did you start writing and why poetry?

ADESIYAN: I could say I have been writing since I was seven years old but I think I became intentional in the year 2021. Before this, I was vested in writing short stories, & multiple novels (which I never really finished anyway). I remember I was in Junior Secondary Class Two when we were given an assignment in English class to write a poem on any subject matter of our choice. Before that, I had never written a poem. Never! But amazingly, when I submitted my assignment, my teacher was so impressed that he praised me a lot. To my surprise, he also showed the poem to several of his colleagues. This catalyzed my interest in poetry. Consequently, I began writing poems. I wrote and learned from some of the poets I could find in our recommended literature texts then, the likes of Williams Shakespeare (I can still remember so vividly how often I wrote sonnets during recess), Wole Soyinka, Christopher Okigbo, Kofi Awonoor, Ama At Aidoo, Niyi Osundare and several others.

As I grew up, I suffered an identity crisis in school resulting in me isolating myself from everyone, & having low self-esteem as a  kid. I fought hard through depression & suicidal tendencies, & hardly even had any friends by the time I was in my senior classes.  Thus, poetry became an ally, & consequently, a medium of therapy. Now, I write because it is my buckler against the onslaught of these internal conflicts of self-love, & self-discovery. I write to tell my story in ways that defy fear or societal constraint that terms introversion a social dysfunction. I write to heal, to mend, & to conquer.

JOEL: Who is your favourite poet?

ADESIYAN: To be truthful, it is pretty hard to pick a favourite poet because there are always several poets I admire for different reasons, & uniqueness in style. Internationally, my favourite poets are Ocean Vuong, Danusha Laméris, Kaveh Akbar, Louise Glück, Sylvia Plath, Hanif Abdurraqib and many others. My favorite Nigerian poet however will be Samuel Adeyemi because his book “Heaven is a Metaphor” was the first poetry collection that fascinated and revealed to me how much could be achieved with language. Sometimes, my reverence for his work influences mine, unconsciously. Some other Nigerian poets I admire are Adedayo Agarau, Gbenga Adesina, Gbenga Adeoba, Romeo Oriogun, Pamilerin Jacobs, Itiola Jones and a bevvy of others.

Joel: Samuel Adeyemi is one of those I also admire. Your taste is wonderful. You recently announced that your chapbook ETHOS has been scheduled for publication by Ukiyoto, UK. How did the idea begin?

ADESIYAN: I have always been an inquisitive & argumentative individual, especially when it comes to the subject of religion, & unbelief — something we perceive as a social dysfunction, & how societal principles and ideologies sometimes compromise our loyalty to aristocratic manipulation. Writing about such a topic thus demanded a great measure of self-control, distancing myself from what the society forces me to think, & painting an almost mirror-image of what is,  without blemishing the truth. Oftentimes, my poetry is praised for its intimacy & honesty, but most of all, what I aim to achieve most is poetry that dares to exist even when it is about issues that the society has shrouded us from talking about / investigating the truth behind them. Say injustice. Say mental health. Say men sieged of atheism.

Constructing Ethos was hectic, & at a point, I wanted to give up on the collection. The idea for the collection came a year ago (without the title though). I dumped it afterwards because I was not in the right state of mind or skill set to write such demanding work. Ethos demanded a lot from me, particularly mentally. I remember the first poem “Miracles” came about five months after the conception idea, & days, weeks, & months later I played around with lines (jotting down words, lines and complete stanzas for a poem jumping into my head), I read several essays on theology, arguments, in fact at some point I began to read Greek mythology which was the genesis of some poems: “Lucent Dreaming” & “Sappho” in the forthcoming book. I investigated existential nihilism, & it wasn’t until I had written the last poem in the collection forthcoming from Ninshar Arts “A Life by Death” that I knew for sure the book had ended. Perhaps, not decisively ended because even after I sent the book out for publication, I still felt a considerable amount of incompleteness. During the editing stage, I had to let go of some poems because of thematic correlation. It took eight months to complete “Ethos”.

Joel: Wow. That seems like a long ride. Did you read any work to help with inspiration?

ADESIYAN: Yes, I did. A lot. One book I held closely to me during this process was Kaveh Akbar’s Pilgrim Bells because of its eclectic ideology on religion, & human conduct. Romeo Oriogun’s Sacraments of Bodies also complemented in shaping the voice of poems in this collection.

Joel: What do you intend to achieve with Ethos?

ADESIYAN: Hopefully, continue to tell my undiluted stories, our untold stories through the vehicle of language & make poetry largely accessible to everyone. I am aware of the notion most people have that poetry is a tedious genre of literature to read & comprehend. However, I believe this to be false. It just means the reader hasn’t dived into the poem enough to the point where the poet wants him or her to crack the meaning/subject of the poem, something I tweeted about some weeks ago on Twitter. Poetry should be a medium of transmission of cultures, values, knowledge & memories, a necessary mechanism in journeying the message of a poem to a reader’s mind. As T.S Eliot once said, “Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood”, Poetry, I believe is a magnification of the deep, abstract feelings which make up the substratum of our being, for without which our lives will be an artless existence, the undiluted expression of man’s freedom from constraining emotion itself, our elastic imagination as said by the prestigious Vietnamese poet, Ocean Vuong is “the oldest form of technology.” Poetry is man’s he(art).

Joel: I love the paronomasia at the end (laughs). Where do you see Nigerian poetry ten years from now?

ADESIYAN: I see Nigerian poetry flourishing to bigger stages, making waves, more poetry books, a larger poetry readership base, & most of all, more governmental investments / NGOs involvement in raising young and talented creatives. I see budding poets taking the mantle of old masters and treading the path for a new legacy. I see Nigerian poetry making unthinkable accomplishments. I see Nigerian poetry making its hallmark on the world’s map.

Joel: Amen. What is your advice for younger poets?

ADESIYAN: Read. Read. Read. Write. Read. Read. Read. Write. Also, always aim to improve as a creative, & take active participation in the accommodating literary community. And don’t forget that the output of your craft is how much work and dedication you put into it.

Joel: Lastly, do you have any other forthcoming projects?

ADESIYAN: Currently, I have another poetry chapbook in the oven. It is a documentation of the human experience from the universal pronoun “we” – navigating through contrasting elements of joy & despair, vulnerability & resilience in creating a multi-layered exploration of human travails. A clustered work on displacement from the self to the general, it seems. So far the collection is coming together, chaotically, & hopefully, it will make its way to the outside world sCopy

Medical staff on the front line of the battle against mpox in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have told the BBC they are desperate for vaccines to arrive so they can stem the rate of new infections.
[url=https://www.bs2-clear.net]blacksprut[/url]
At a treatment centre in South Kivu province that the BBC visited in the epicentre of the outbreak, they say more patients are arriving every day – especially babies – and there is a shortage of essential equipment.

Mpox – formerly known as monkeypox – is a highly contagious disease and has killed at least 635 people in DR Congo this year.
Even though 200,000 vaccines, donated by the European Commission, were flown into the capital, Kinshasa, last week, they are yet to be transported across this vast country – and it could be several weeks before they reach South Kivu.
“We’ve learned from social media that the vaccine is already available,” Emmanuel Fikiri, a nurse working at the clinic that has been turned into a specialist centre to tackle the virus, told the BBC.
He said this was the first time he had treated patients with mpox and every day he feared catching it and passing it on to his own children – aged seven, five and one.
“You saw how I touched the patients because that’s my job as a nurse. So, we’re asking the government to help us by first giving us the vaccines.”
The reason it will take time to transport the vaccines is that they need to be stored at a precise temperature – below freezing – to maintain their potency, plus they need to be sent to rural areas of South Kivu, like Kamituga, Kavumu and Lwiro, where the outbreak is rife.
The lack of infrastructure and bad roads mean that helicopters could possibly be used to drop some of the vaccines, which will further drive up costs in a country that is already struggling financially.
At the community clinic, Dr Pacifique Karanzo appeared fatigued and downbeat having been rushed off his feet all morning.
Although he wore a face shield, I could see the sweat running down his face. He said he was saddened to see patients sharing beds.
“You will even see that the patients are sleeping on the floor,” he told me, clearly exasperated.
“The only support we have already had is a little medicine for the patients and water. As far as other challenges are concerned, there’s still no staff motivation.”

Actress Gemma Arterton says director tried to pressure her to do sex scene
[url=https://gl-kra10.cc]kra4.gl[/url]

British actress Gemma Arterton has revealed that a director once tried to put pressure on her to film a sex scene, despite the fact that it wasn’t included in the script.

In an interview with British publication the Radio Times, released Tuesday, Arterton said that, whilst on set, the director – who hasn’t been named – instructed her and her co-star to film a sex scene on a bed.

“I said, ‘No, this scene was written for us to be off screen, so you just hear the noises,’” Arterton told the Radio Times. “I’d never have accepted the role if it was going to be filmed.”

https://kra12gl.com
kra15.cc

The actress said that she was pressured by the director to film the scene, but that she “flat out” refused to take part in it.

Had she been younger at the time, Arterton suggested that she might have been more concerned about being fired for refusing to film it.

“I only felt like I could say that because I was older,” she said.
“When I started acting, there was a lot of nudity – you were just expected to do it. When I was younger I played sexy characters, the girlfriend. As I’ve got older, that’s changed because I’m more successful and can choose the parts I want to play,” she said.

She praised the use of intimacy coordinators in film and television since the #MeToo movement, telling the magazine that “it’s a totally different landscape” now.

“Anything you’re not comfortable with is not going to happen. I’ve heard other actors that are like, ‘I loved it when there was no intimacy coordinator,’ but I definitely think it’s better,” she said.

Meet the artist transforming tennis balls into furniture
[url=https://bs2siteat.net]блэк спрут[/url]

In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets (court-appropriate garb can be found everywhere from Skims to Miu Miu), our screens (who could forget Zendaya’s turn as the tennis protoge-turned-elite-coach Tashi Duncan in “Challengers”) and now — our living rooms.

At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions bespoke furniture from discarded tennis balls. Wittock’s sleek, modernist chaise longues are entirely cushionless — save for the padding of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one meter-long benches are similarly sparse, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.

https://bs2site2at.net
bs.gl
“It takes around 24 different manufacturing steps to (make) a tennis ball, which is around five days. Then it has such a short lifespan,” Wittock told CNN in a video call from Brussels. “I was looking into tennis balls because I played tennis myself, so I know there is a lot of waste.”
Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose. The US Open, which ended at the weekend, goes through around 70,000 each year, with Wimbledon not far behind at 55,000. Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. “Even if they are contained in their box, if the box has been opened the gas inside the tennis balls will be released over time,” she said. “(Eventually) they will get flat and you’ll have to throw them away.”

Study shows how the pandemic may have affected teens’ brains
[url=https://kra10gl.cc]кракен зеркало[/url]

The pandemic’s effects on teenagers were profound — numerous studies have documented reports of issues with their mental health, social lives and more.

Now, a new study suggests those phenomena caused some adolescents’ brains to age much faster than they normally would — 4.2 years faster in girls and 1.4 years faster in boys on average, according to the study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

By being the first to contribute details on aging differences by sex, the study adds to the existing body of knowledge provided by two previous studies on the Covid-19 pandemic and accelerated brain aging among adolescents.
https://kra08.gl

“The findings are an important wake-up call about the fragility of the teenage brain,” said senior study author Dr. Patricia K. Kuhl, the Bezos Family Foundation Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Learning and codirector of the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, via email. “Teens need our support now more than ever.”

Significant socioemotional development occurs during adolescence, along with substantial changes to brain structure and function. The thickness of the cerebral cortex naturally peaks during childhood, steadily decreases throughout adolescence and continues to decrease through one’s lifespan, the authors wrote.

The researchers originally intended to track ordinary adolescent brain development over time, starting with MRIs the authors conducted on participants’ brains in 2018. They planned to follow up with them for another scan in 2020.

The pandemic delayed the second MRI by three to four years — when the 130 participants based in Washington state were between ages 12 and 20. The authors excluded adolescents who had been diagnosed with a developmental or psychiatric disorder or who were taking psychotropic medications.

Drought-hit Danube River reveals scuttled German World War II ships
[url=https://freedmanclub.com/hroniki-sobitiy-life-is-good/]порно жесток бесплатно[/url]
The wrecks of explosives-laden Nazi ships sunk in the Danube River during World War II have emerged near Serbia’s river port town of Prahovo, after a drought in July and August that saw the river’s water level drop.

Four vessels dating from before 1950 have also come to light in Hungary’s Danube-Drava National Park near Mohacs, where the Danube’s water level stood at only 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) on Tuesday, the lingering effect of severe heat waves and persistent drought in July and August.

The vessels revealed in Prahovo were among hundreds scuttled along the Danube by Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet in 1944 as they retreated from advancing Soviet forces, destroying the ships themselves. The wrecks can hamper river traffic during low water levels.
Strewn across the riverbed, some of the ships still have turrets, command bridges, broken masts and twisted hulls, while others lie mostly submerged under sandbanks.

Endre Sztellik, a guard at the Danube-Drava national park, said of one of the ships, “we still don’t know what this is exactly. What is visible and an unfortunate fact is that the wreck is diminishing as people are interested in it and parts of it are going missing.”
The Danube stood at 1.17 meters (3.8 feet) in Budapest on Tuesday, which compares with an all-time record low of around 0.4 meters (1.3 feet) registered in October 2018. During floods, the Danube rises well above 6 meters (19.7 feet).

“Eastern Europe is experiencing critical drought conditions that are affecting crops and vegetation,” the European climate service Copernicus said on its website in its latest drought report, published earlier this month.

National Park calls out ‘world changing’ impact of dropped Cheetos bag
[url=https://kra10.vip]kra11.gl[/url]
Plain water is the only thing visitors are allowed to consume inside the huge cavern at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. Cheetos are a no-go, and the recent park visitor who dropped a bag full of them created a “huge impact” on the cave’s ecosystem, the park said Friday in a Facebook post.

“At the scale of human perspective, a spilled snack bag may seem trivial, but to the life of the cave it can be world changing,” the park said in its post about the garbage found off-trail in the Big Room.

“The processed corn, softened by the humidity of the cave, formed the perfect environment to host microbial life and fungi. Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations. Molds spread higher up the nearby surfaces, fruit, die and stink. And the cycle continues.”

The park said rangers spent 20 minutes carefully removing molds and foreign debris from surfaces inside the cave, noting that while some members of the ecosystem that rose from the snacks were cave-dwellers “many of the microbial life and molds are not.”
The post called that particular impact on the cave “completely avoidable,” contrasting it with the hard-to-prevent fine trails of lint left by each visitor.

“Great or small we all leave an impact wherever we go. Let us all leave the world a better place than we found it,” the post urged park goers.
The park’s website says that eating and drinking anything other than plain water attracts animals into the cavern.

Carlsbad Caverns followed up its post about the Cheetos bag with a post about the “leave no trace” principle of disposing of waste properly.

“Contrary to popular belief, the cave is NOT a big trash can,” the post said, yet rangers pick up waste left behind every day.

“Sometimes this can be a gum wrapper or a tissue, other times it can unfortunately mean human waste, spit, or chewing tobacco.” Visitors are asked to make sure they don’t leave trash in the cavern and to use designated restrooms.

Новая коллекция ароматов Esquire уже привлекла внимание многих мужчин. Эти ароматы созданы для того, чтобы подчеркнуть индивидуальность и стиль. Однако перед лазерной эпиляцией, как советует Евгений Майер, стоит избегать использования любых парфюмов для достижения наилучших результатов.Эти ароматы будут активно использоваться представителями медиа и литераторов.

Главный редактор Esquire Майкл Себастьян отметил: “У наших читателей неиссякаемый интерес к историям о мужской парфюмерии и уходе за собой. Мы уже много лет говорим о разработке собственных мужских ароматов. После успешного запуска нашей ювелирной линии нам показалось, что сейчас самое подходящее время для этого. Это естественный следующий шаг в создании продукции, которая найдет отклик у наших читателей”.

Линейка ароматов Esquire вдохновлена литературным наследием журнала и способна стать верным спутником в мире творчества и журналистики. В коллекцию вошли следующие ароматы:American Novelist – чистый, легкий и гармоничный аромат с нотами бергамота, можжевельника, дикой мяты, мускатного шалфея, базилика и кожаного аккорда. Завершают композицию оттенки кедра, мха и сосны.Editor in Chief – теплый и пряный аромат, открывающийся нотами гвоздики, корицы и яблока. В сердце звучат ирис, лабданум, кашмеран, пачули и ветивер. База состоит из сандала, кедра, ванили, березы и бобов тонка.Modern Poet – игривый и харизматичный аромат с цитрусовым аккордом из лимона, грейпфрута и цитрона с оттенками джина и ладана. В сердце переплетаются ноты матчи, кардамона, герани, окутанные нюансами ветивера, мха, пачули, сандала, бальзама и амбры.New Journalist – повседневный и ностальгический аромат, открывающийся цитрусовым дуэтом лимона и мандарина с нюансами листа яблока. Затем их сменяют оттенки голубой лаванды, лотоса и герани. В финале звучат ноты ветивера, сандала и амбры.Ароматы American Novelist, Editor in Chief, Modern Poet и New Journalist выпущены в концентрации Eau de Parfum во флаконах объемом 100 мл по ориентировочной стоимости 10 000 рублей. Однако на российском рынке официально достать данный парфюм невозможно.

Создатель косметологических лазерных аппаратов для эпиляции MAYER САПФИР и сооснователь студии “Mayer Studio” Евгений Майер прокомментировал: “Я и сам использую парфюм и приятно удивлен, что Esquire представил линию ароматов для мужчин – представителей СМИ и писателей. Но перед процедурами лазерной эпиляции обильно использовать туалетную воду и духи все же не рекомендуется”.

По мнению Майера, резкие запахи могут отвлекать косметолога, снижать эффективность процедуры и вызывать раздражение. Поэтому он рекомендует пациентам воздерживаться от парфюмерии перед процедурой лазерной эпиляции волос.

Medical staff on the front line of the battle against mpox in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have told the BBC they are desperate for vaccines to arrive so they can stem the rate of new infections.
[url=https://bs2tor2.info]blacksprut2rprrt3aoigwh7zftiprzqyqynzz2eiimmwmykw7wkpyad.onion[/url]
At a treatment centre in South Kivu province that the BBC visited in the epicentre of the outbreak, they say more patients are arriving every day – especially babies – and there is a shortage of essential equipment.

Mpox – formerly known as monkeypox – is a highly contagious disease and has killed at least 635 people in DR Congo this year.
Even though 200,000 vaccines, donated by the European Commission, were flown into the capital, Kinshasa, last week, they are yet to be transported across this vast country – and it could be several weeks before they reach South Kivu.
“We’ve learned from social media that the vaccine is already available,” Emmanuel Fikiri, a nurse working at the clinic that has been turned into a specialist centre to tackle the virus, told the BBC.
He said this was the first time he had treated patients with mpox and every day he feared catching it and passing it on to his own children – aged seven, five and one.
“You saw how I touched the patients because that’s my job as a nurse. So, we’re asking the government to help us by first giving us the vaccines.”
The reason it will take time to transport the vaccines is that they need to be stored at a precise temperature – below freezing – to maintain their potency, plus they need to be sent to rural areas of South Kivu, like Kamituga, Kavumu and Lwiro, where the outbreak is rife.
The lack of infrastructure and bad roads mean that helicopters could possibly be used to drop some of the vaccines, which will further drive up costs in a country that is already struggling financially.
At the community clinic, Dr Pacifique Karanzo appeared fatigued and downbeat having been rushed off his feet all morning.
Although he wore a face shield, I could see the sweat running down his face. He said he was saddened to see patients sharing beds.
“You will even see that the patients are sleeping on the floor,” he told me, clearly exasperated.
“The only support we have already had is a little medicine for the patients and water. As far as other challenges are concerned, there’s still no staff motivation.”
