Accordingto new global estimates, 222 million crisis-affected children and adolescents are in need of education support. This is a substantial increase from previous estimates, pointing to an alarming trend and a global education crisis. Access to a quality education in times of humanitarian crisis is not only the right of every child, it can also be both life-saving and life-sustaining.

222 million children's dreams are on hold due to preventable factors like climate crisis, war and conflict. Access to education is a right for every child, and in times of humanitarian crisis, it can be life-saving. Make a sign using one of the slogans suggested and upload a picture holding it

Let me take you back to a pivotal moment in my journey: March 20, 1974. Picture a teenage Nigerian, standing with a mix of hope and anxiety outside the Embassy of the United States of America in Lagos. That teenager was me, about to face a visa interview that could change the course of my life.


I remember the small talk with about 20 other visa interviewees, the nervous energy in the air, and the warning from one of them: "You'll be back ten times before you get a visa." But inside me, there was a flicker of hope, a belief that today might just be my day.


As I left the embassy, holding that precious card, I felt a whirlwind of emotions. Confusion, excitement, and a sense of achievement. I remember thinking, "What next?" It felt like I had been chasing a dream, much like a dog chasing a pickup truck, and suddenly, I was on board, wondering what to do.


I got into a taxi, and in pidgin English, the driver asked, "Were you dey go?" In that moment of uncertainty, I blurted out "Tinubu Square," a place symbolic of our nation's heart and history. It was a moment of transition, from dreams to reality, from aspirations to achievements.


My journey from that day led me to make contributions to computer science. But more importantly, it taught me that no matter where you come from, no matter the odds stacked against you, your dreams are valid, and your potential is limitless.


So, to each one of you, I say: dream big, work hard, and never give up. Your journey might be filled with challenges, but remember, it is these challenges that forge the strongest steel. You are the future of this great nation, and I do not doubt that you will rise to shape a world that is brighter, better, and more beautiful than we can even imagine.


The movie The Greatest Showman has a song called "A Million Dreams" which talks about grand ideas that keep people awake at night, and sometimes these dreams seem far fetched (and even a bit crazy) to others.


This was one of the topics discussed during the Future of Blockchain panel at the Blockchain Futurist Conference today. It was really the perfect question for a room full of blockchain enthusiasts, many like myself, who often have a hard time sleeping with all the ideas about blockchain and the future.


Gabriel Abed (Bitt) talked about a utopic place, one where blockchain is used to disrupt governance, and not just of organizations, but of governments. Imagine using blockchain for micro-voting, resources being managed by a consensus managed system, or removing corrupt politicians.


Jeff Pulver (Alchemist) said that he sees the potential in blockchain beyond tokens, moving away from those looking to make a quick buck. He said that blockchain offers an opportunity to do things never before possible. It can take down governments, it can build governments, it yields trust and integrity to drive businesses, it gives more people a voice and creates authenticity. Blockchain presents an opportunity to solve old problems in a new way. And finally, Jeff closed by stating we don't appreciate the total impact that this technology will have, and I have to say I agree.

The inspiration for this project was sparked by my appreciation of the music of Eddie Lang (guitar) and Joe Venuti (violin). They were joined by the Ponce Sisters in a 1933 recording of the tune 'A Million Dreams', a composition by Gus Kahn and J.C. Lewis.



I wanted to see what the composers had in mind so I went to great lengths to get an original copy of the score. I was able to track it down with help from Lynette Woods, a librarian at Bagaduce Music. I was surprised that the recordings I have heard don't interpret the melody the way the composers had written it.



I created an arrangement of the piece that was both true to the original and workable with the musicians I wanted to collaborate with. I recorded audio and video of myself playing guitar and singing and sent the audio to the other musicians so they could send me back their tracks. I also sent them a PDF of my lead sheet arrangement.



The process of arranging did not end with creating the score. Since I asked each musician to improvise through the entire piece, I was selective in the audio editing stage (remember that the musicians were initially recording their part along with guitar and voice only - they would have no way of anticipating whether they were over or under playing according to what the other players were doing). If I left the audio from each musician at full volume for the entire piece, it would have sounded chaotic. I selectively muted and brought forward each player's part to make an arrangement that sounded good to me.



I then had to make sure that the video edit I was creating didn't show a player at a time that I had muted them. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to create the video edit. It took a lot of time.

The world is dreaming

A million dreams

While stars are beaming

How many dreams

That never came true?

Still I believe in my dream of you



A million times

The moon above me

Has seemed to say

Some day you'd love me

I'm only dreaming

Let me keep on dreaming

A Million dreams of

You $(".lyricsText").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_long"), "more", "less"); credits released June 19, 2020

For Phil Vassar, "The Sound of a Million Dreams," the song he co-wrote for David Nail -- which appears on Nail's 2011 album of the same name -- is really a tribute to the classic songs and artists that Vassar listened to growing up, the artists who inspired him to become an artist himself and create the songs he crafts today.


Several lines in the song, including the reference to the Merle Haggard classic "Mama Tried," are straight out of Vassar's life, and he says that he knew the minute he and co-writer Scooter Carusoe finished the tune that they were onto something incredibly special. Below, Vassar tells The Boot about the thought process behind the moving tune and how he feels about Nail's interpretation of it.


One day, Scooter and I were doodling around and playing some music, and somewhere, the line "sound of a million dreams" just came out. We were talking about how these songs and artists we listen to on the radio had influenced us in our lives growing up. For me, they totally were, and still are, the soundtrack of my life.


"The Sound of a Million Dreams" is really talking about that. We were talking about "Main Street," the Bob Seger song, that's one of my favorite songs, and "Mama Tried." Merle Haggard was my very first concert I saw ever. I saw Merle Haggard and Van Halen in the same week, so that kind of sums it up for me music-wise. [Laughs] I always wanted to be Merle Haggard and David Lee Roth at the same time! I can listen to a song, and I can still smell honeysuckle, or I can see these moments, being with a girl, all that stuff. These things take you back, and you forget about that.


People can talk about hype and this artist or that artist, but, to me, it's always going to be about that song. No matter what materializes with anybody, these artists are artists because they have great songs. I think that's the bottom line.


For Phil Vassar, \"The Sound of a Million Dreams,\" the song he co-wrote for David Nail -- which appears on Nail's 2011 album of the same name -- is really a tribute to the classic songs and artists that Vassar listened to growing up, the artists who inspired him to become an artist himself and create the songs he crafts today.\nRead More
