Q: How to create a list of strings using a special char to understand where to split I have a text file that consist of the songs from all the albums of pink floyd, which looks like that:
#The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn::1967
*Lucifer Sam::Syd Barrett::03:07::Lucifer Sam, Siam cat
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side
... ( The lyrics of the song )
*Matilda mother::Syd Barrett::03:07::There was a king who ruled the land
His majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
... ( The lyrics of the song )
#Another album
*another song
song's lyrics

I would like to create a list of strings out of it, using the albums ( indicated using # ) as one string, and all the songs in it as another string after that and so on, like this:
["album\n", "*song's name\nlyrics\n*song's name\nlyrics ..."]

Thanks a lot! :D
Edit: so I noticed that my explanation is a bit clumsy, So i will rephrase it.
What i want to do is to convert the given text into a list, which has each album and it's data in separated variables, so i would have something like that:
["album's name, "(Everything between the album's name and the next one)", "album's name", ...]

and so on.
The albums have # before them, and i need to use it somehow to separate it from it's songs.
I tried to do a for which finds each # and the first \n after that to create the list, but it went into ashes :(
IMPORTANT! CLEAR EXPLANATION: consider you have a string that looks like that:
#Hello
Whatever
#Hello
More Whatever

I want to separate each #Hello with it's Whatever. so i would have something like that:
["hello", "Whatever", "Hello", "Whatever]

I'm really sorry for my bad explanation abilities. this is the easiest way i can think of to explain it to you :D

A: Not super efficient, but works:
f = "filepath"

txt = "".join([line + "#" if line.startswith("#") else line for line in open(f)])
data = [x for x in txt.split("#")][1:]
data

['The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn::1967\n',
 '*Lucifer Sam::Syd Barrett::03:07::Lucifer Sam, Siam cat\nAlways sitting by your side\nAlways by your side\n... ( The lyrics of the song )\n*Matilda mother::Syd Barrett::03:07::There was a king who ruled the land\nHis majesty was in command\nWith silver eyes the scarlet eagle\n... ( The lyrics of the song )\n',
 'Another album\n',
 "*another song\nsong's lyrics\n"]

A: You could do it using regular expressions (re module), consider following example, lets say that you have file songs.txt as follows:
#Song 1
First line
Second line
#Song 2
First line of second
Last line

You could do:
import re
with open('songs.txt','r') as f:
    data = f.read()
songs = re.findall(r'(#.+?\n)([^#]+)',data)
#now songs is list of 2-tuples with song name and "song body"
songs = list(sum(songs,())) #here I am doing so called flattening
print(songs) #['#Song 1\n', 'First line\nSecond line\n', '#Song 2\n', 'First line of second\nLast line\n']

pattern (1st argument of re.findall) contains two groups denoted by brackets (()), first is for title and second for lyrics. First group need to be in form of: # followed by 1 or more not newlines (\n) and ending in newline (\n). Second group mean simply 1 or more characters which are not #.


March 2018: Democrats offer $25B in border all funding for a pathway to citizenship for the dreamers. Trump kills the deal by tacking on draconian cuts to LEGAL immigration.
December 2018: Trump demands $5B for wall; Democrats counter with a $1.6B offer. Trump shuts down the government, costing the U.S. economy $11B.
January 2019: Trump caves, ends shutdown in humiliating political defeat, vows to get WALL funding as a condition to fund the government after 2/15/2019.
February 2019: Trump indicates he'll sign a bill with $1.375 billion "fencing" funds – limited to the type of barrier already in use — to avoid another shutdown.
Well done, Mr. Art of the Deal!
Nancy Pelosi has destroyed the Trump Myth in one month. Trump doesn't care about his stupid Wall. His Trumpsters don't care about his stupid Wall. They all know the stupid Wall won't be built. Trump's lies won't change that. And they all know it.
I'm not gonna sugar coat it, if @realDonaldTrump takes this sham border deal from the Democrats, he loses in 2020 and we ALL lose for years to come.
SINCE the shutdown however, Trump's approval/disapproval has jumped very favorably in his direction (+7 approve/-7 disapprove) in the Gallup poll.

For the past few years, a Microsoft Canada Consumer Insights Report has made the media rounds claiming that the average human attention span has declined from 12 seconds in 2000 to about 8 seconds in 2013, compared to 9 seconds for goldfish.
There are many implications to this work that are lost in the second-hand reporting, and I would encourage anyone to read the core study. For our purposes, though, I think it brings to the forefront that attention is a resource, and a highly limited one at that.
Attention is a resource. We exchange it for other things, we compete for it, we choose to funnel it in one direction or another. Although it is self-renewing, we do deplete it. People who have learned to attract and accumulate it can convert it to money and power – from the leaders, charlatans and charismatics of ancient eras to the reality television stars and political spectacle of today.
As business communicators, we can lose sight of just how tangible attention is. When it is time to say something that might really affect employees' lives – a change to their health plan offering, a restructuring or workforce action – we must prepare ourselves for intense competition.
I encounter too many frustrated communicators who tell me, "Employees don't read their emails," or ask, "Why are people saying they didn't know about the strategy rollout?" That perspective changes when you think that any message you deliver will have to displace some other stimulus that is also competing for attention. Your messages carry an opportunity cost.
So how do we compete successfully in that gladiatorial arena? That is a topic for ten blogs with possibly a book deal and Ted Talk at the end, but here are three essential tips. Apply these and you will greatly increase your chances of winning attention.
Put the main point on top – Most people need to write a while to work themselves up to the main point. This is fine, but when you are done, take that main point and put it on top. Can people get the essentials of the information they need in the headline? Put the bait on the hook, not on the reel of your fishing rod.
Clear the way – Make the message as short as it can be. Avoid multiple reminders and other bad communication practices that teach employees to ignore you. Influence others to avoid sending communications that are disconnected from defined actions or behaviors. Information-only emails should be as rare as a Goblin shark, not as common as goldfish.
Change the look and the tone – organizations tend towards groupthink. An extended review process will make the writing more generic unless you actively resist it. If your message deserves attention, then it ought to stand out. Do not introduce employees to a significant change in a format that looks and sounds like business as usual. In other words, think out of the bowl.

Limits Not Included: Two Posts You Need To Read | Think Inclusive On inclusion in the classroom.
To be defined as abnormal in society is often conflated with being perceived as 'pathological' in some way and to be socially stigmatised, shunned and sanctioned. Then, if there is a breakdown in interaction, or indeed a failed attempt to align toward expressions of meaning, a person who sees their interactions as 'normal' and 'correct' can denigrate those who act or are perceived as 'different' (Tajfel & Turner, 1979). If one can apply a label on the 'other' location the problem in them, it also resolves the applier of the label's 'natural attitude' of responsibility in their own perceptions and the breach is healed perceptually, but not for the person who has been 'othered' (Said, 1978).
Little bugs were mistakes in the software. Big Bugs are when we exacerbate (or cause!) major problems in society.
Software that exacerbates racial biases in the criminal justice system is a big bug. Security policies that put sensitive data from hundreds of millions of people at risk are a big bug. Apps that secretly spy on users (including, yes, Beyoncé) have big bugs. Undermining trust in legitimate journalism and exacerbating fake news? Yep, that's a big, big bug.
We think it's time that a new generation of coders tries to tackle this even more important set of issues around access, equality, equity and basic fairness. And the clearest way we can state it is very simple: Software matters.
The issue here is that laptops in the classroom represent the first real chance at Universal Design for Learning – the first real chance to allow every student to choose the media format most appropriate for their own needs – the first real chance for students who are different to be accommodated without labels, and I'll be damned if I'm willing to give that up for the vanity of a few faculty who cannot figure out how to teach with the greatest information and communication tool humans have ever developed.
But I just want to add that banning laptops is illegal if it interferes with the learning needs of students diagnosed with disabilities and is critically unfair to students with issues who lack the resources necessary to be diagnosed.
You cannot counter structural inequality with good will. You have to structure equality.
But even if this comes to pass, this is not an example of innovative disruption. It is instead the endpoint of a process that seeks to substitute credentialing for learning.
There's nothing innovative about such a radical shift in values working in combination with simple neglect to destroy something we once felt important and enduring.
But they did not count on the power of children's instinct for dissent. The wild mind strives to protect itself the way a horse under saddle does, with a thousand strategies of resistance, withdrawal, inattention, forgetting; the children won't do what the authorities say they should do, they won't learn what the experts say they must learn, and for every diligent STEM-trained worker-bee we create there are ten bored, resistant, apathetic young people who are alienated from both nature and their own chained hearts.
The primary form of child abuse is really shaming.
Think about how much more common the abuse of boys is than people want to believe.
Now I, personally, had a keen interest in the content of this presentation, but almost immediately I found my focus shifting to how it was being taught. I've been critical of an over-reliance on lecturing — along with other features of traditional instruction — for years. But that afternoon infused my long-standing skepticism with a fresh intensity. Why on earth would we think this arrangement — teacher in front of the room talking, students sitting silently and (ostensibly) listening — ought to play a central role in an institution whose goal is to promote learning?
To question the effectiveness of lectures is not to deny that teachers know more than students do, a common straw-man objection offered defensively by traditionalists. Rather, it suggests that having someone with more information talk at those who have less doesn't necessarily lead to that information's being retained by the latter. And the more ambitious one's goal, cognitively speaking, the less likely one is to reach it by having students sit and listen. This is true because we are not empty receptacles into which knowledge is poured; we are active meaning makers.
Reading the research about lecturing is one way to realize the current system doesn't make any sense. Another is to sit in the back of a college auditorium and watch rows of students updating their Facebook pages or shopping for shoes while a professor plows through a slide deck. In any case, if an hour or two of sitting still while someone pours words in your ears rarely produces lasting intellectual benefit, how can we justify a system of higher education whose uncritically accepted premise is that it does?

Escape the City: Easy Day Trips from Manchester
Move around
Likes on the move
Moving with
The right moves
Ready Steady Move
Mills, museums and a truly mad music scene; what's not to love about Manchester? If you're visiting for work or pleasure, there are heaps of attractions to keep you entertained – but how about getting out of the city for a day?
If you're relaxing after business is finished or you're in Manchester on a city break and fancy checking out some of its farther flung features, there's plenty of places to enjoy a day trip in the surrounding areas.
Need a bit of help? We've wracked our brains and come up with some fantastic options which are all less than two hours from the heart of the city.
For beautiful scenery and a chance to up your step count, potter across to the Peak District
The thing about Manchester, there's loads of green spaces just outside the city. If you like walking, you're in for a treat in the Peak District.
It's less than an hour away from Manchester City Centre and is a warren of wonderful hiking routes (plus there's a handful of fantastic pubs if you like to finish your walks off with a cheeky pint, who doesn't!).
Mam Tor is one of the most popular trails to try and affords incredible views of Derbyshire from the top. As the locals would say, it's "mint". Trust us they do say that in these parts.
After reaching the summit and walking down the south side towards charming Castleton, you'll find a traditional tearoom, a tiny local history museum and a ruined Norman castle.
Or you could park up in Edale and follow the signs for Kinder Scout. You can don your walking boots and stroll across lush fields, through magnificent moorland and up craggy crevices that'll give you a really rewarding work out. Got a pooch? Bring them along too!
Drive time: 50 minutes
For media, museums and discount shopping malls, cross the river to reach Salford Quays
Okay, so this pick doesn't take you that far out of Manchester, but it's still not technically part of the city. Just a short drive over the River Irwell, Salford Quays is famed for being the home of Media City where you'll spot both BBC and ITV studios.
Secretly always wanted to audition for The Voice? Well now's your chance!
As well as wandering around the slick, modern riverfront (and possibly bumping into some well-known TV presenters), you'll have the chance to swot up on military history at the Imperial War Museum North or get some absolute bargains at the Quayside MediaCityUK outlet mall. Once you're done, why not pop into The Alchemist right on the water for a drink and then catch a show at The Lowry theatre?
For cheetahs, chimps and creepie crawlies, make your way to Chester Zoo
You don't have to be a kid to enjoy this fun day trip from Manchester. Chester Zoo is one of the best animal parks in the UK and even has its own TV show titled The Secret Life of the Zoo!
Fortunately, it's treasures aren't a secret!
The zoo is just north of Chester (another great day trip destination, especially if you're a fan of Roman history) and it's jam-packed with incredible species from all four corners of the globe.
Got all day for animal-friendly fun? You can spend a full day exploring Chester Zoo's enclosures, from gazing at gentle giants in the wonderful Asian elephant house to spotting sloths, jaguars and macaws in the tropical zone.
Chester Zoo is also very big on conservation and you'll be able to learn all about the work they do to protect endangered species. Tickets cost around £32 for adults and £24 for kids, but it's well-worth paying to see the 20,000+ awesome animals which call the zoo home.
Chester Zoo, Chester, CH2 1EU
For a taste of the high life, set your sights on Chatsworth House
Can't resist exploring a big old house? Well then Chatsworth is one of the best. It's set among the rolling hills of the Peak District and has been the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire for a whopping five hundred years!
So, what to expect? Chatsworth House's interiors are grand. There's no two ways about it! Think floor to ceiling windows, sweeping staircases, elaborate ceiling frescoes and lots of marble busts. Want a bit of fresh air? You just have to check out its grounds. Highlights include the restored Victorian rock garden, the peaceful Cascade water feature and the lush yew tree labyrinth.
Got kids with you? Don't skip Chatsworth House's farmyard where little ones can get up close with baby animals before letting off some steam in the fantastic playground that's reached via a mysterious tunnel…
Top tip: After you've seen everything, hop in your car and drive 3.5 miles down the road to Bakewell to try the town's namesake tarts. We love them!
For fresh sea air and sand dunes galore, Formby is the one
A beach? Near Manchester? Yep, that's right; the Northern Powerhouse isn't as far from the coast as you might think.
Formby Beach is a huge sandy stretch, as well as being a National Trust site and one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain. You can shimmy up the sand dunes and check out the little critters in the red squirrel sanctuary in the woodlands behind the beach.
And best of all? Formby is pretty huge, so there's always space to stretch out, even on busy summer days.
Top tip: If you're visiting during peak times, set off early for the best chance of nabbing a parking space in the two carparks closest to the sand.
For canal-side pubs and literary landmarks, head to Hebden Bridge
If a good country pub is always high on your agenda, you're not alone. They love a pint round these parts!
The good news? You'll find heaps of pubs around Hebden Bridge.
The former mill town just over the Yorkshire border is a bit of a creative mecca and positively brimming with bohemian boutiques, cool music venues, indie art studios and amazing antique centres.
And the best thing? Its location along the Rochdale Canal. You can enjoy a walk along the water towards Todmorden and stop off at the lovely Stubbing Wharf pub that's right on the canal for a cold one. You know it's all about the pubs!
Bit of a literature lover? If you make your way to the northern edge of Hebden Bridge and take The Buttress pathway up to Heptonstall, you'll find a stunning village that's famed for its connections to Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. You can even visit their former home and find the latter's grave in the churchyard of the St Thomas The Apostle Church.
Why not venture even further north once you're done exploring Manchester and get to grips with the lush lochs and gorgeous glens of the Scottish Highlands?

Shinee's Key sheds tear reminiscing early days of inferiority complex
Shinee's Key is the fashion director of the boy group.
By Gungeet Kaur
October 13, 2016 13:06 +08
Kim Ki Bum a.k.a Key, is a member of boy group, Shinee Facebook/shineekimkibum
Shinee's Key struggled with inferiority complex at an early stage of his debut, the actor has revealed. The 26-year-old, who is now a successful singer and group's fashion director, opened up about his past inhibitions on a talk show As You Say.
The singer started off by saying: "Before I begin to talk, I want to say that I am 26 years old, and I know that I am too young to give any advice to others on how to live. I will tell a short story, and I hope you guys will listen."
Giving an example, Key, whose real name is Kim Ki-Bum said: "One reporter said to us that SHINee is like a group of swans, that we seem to have natural-born elegance. I came home and thought about it carefully, but I realized that I don't have anything 'natural-born.' So I considered which bird I am like the most and concluded that I am like a chicken."
Key went on with a few tears rolling from his eyes: "Since I was little, I wanted to become a singer, and I wanted to convince my parents' support before it's too late. They opposed at first, but eventually caved in...I kept getting rejected at auditions then finally made it at an audition that was 8000:1 passing ratio. I came an trainee at age 15 and debuted at age 18."
While Key was confident about himself, he experienced a shock wave after he debuted with other four other members. The singer-turned-actor revealed that he went into a state of dejection after seeing himself at the last spots despite putting all the hard work: "Among SHINee members, I always ranked 5th place [last] in search engines," he siad.
"I started to doubt myself...I found myself as a chicken among many swans. I had to admit that I had no competitive edge," he further explained.
The Shinee member is now relieved of all his doubts, and is now a successful singer and an actor too. Key has appeared in a couple of dramas and has gathered loads of praise for the same.
His PD once stated: "Key is someone who works hard. He prepared a lot beforehand... and as an actor, he comprehensively analysed his character role. He is receiving many praise and love from the staff members. Despite having no experience in dramas at the time of his audition, his acting gave off a very fresh vibe. Furthermore, his acting and his enunciation were good and so we decided to cast him."

A World Without Israel
A World Without Israel President Obama's ill-considered statement that the state of Israel should return to its 1967 borders reveals his abysmal lack of knowledge about this tiny nation, which has perhaps had a greater impact on the world in general than almost any other society, particularly those of the Arab states. The stated goal of Hamas is to wipe Israel off the map and drive all the Jews into the sea. But, what would happen if Israel were destroyed and all the Jews killed? An article by Rabbi Ephraim Shore, Israel: "Defying the Odds, Amazing facts about Israel," provides some important information about this issue. Israel is the 100th smallest country, and has about 1/1000th of the world's population. It is only 62 years old, 7 million people strong (less than Virginia), and smaller in size than New Jersey, surrounded by enemies, under constant threat and possessing almost no natural resources, and yet… Relative to its population, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on earth. It has absorbed 350% of its population in 60 years. Israel is the only country in history to have revived an unspoken language. Since the founding of the state, Israel has won more Nobel Prices per capita than any other country other than Switzerland. It has more laureates in real numbers than China, Mexico and Spain. Counting from the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, three countries (East Timor, Iceland and St. Lucia) have won one or two Prizes each but because their populations are between 170,000 to 1 million they technically have more awards per capita. Israel has received 9. Israel has the 8th longest life expectancy (80.7 years), longer than the UK, US, and Germany. Israeli films were nominated three years in a row for the Academy Award's Best Foreign Film. Environment Israel is the only country that entered the 21st century with a net gain in its number of trees, even more remarkable -- in an area that's mainly desert. The United Nations Forum on Forests, 20 April 2009, noted that during the past 50 years, Israel planted over 260 million trees, covering over 1000 square kilometers. And, the Sustainable World Capital Report, November, 2009, noted that Israel is desalinating 75% of its waste water, operating the world's largest desalinization plant. Over 90% of Israeli homes use solar energy for hot water, the highest percentage in the world. Israel will be the first country to host a national electric car network. Israel is ranked in the top five Cleantech countries of the world. Israeli companies are producing the largest solar energy production facility in the world. Science & Technology Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in the workforce, 63% more than the U.S. It also has the most physicians and engineers per capita. Israel's scientific research institutions are ranked 3rd in the world. Israel is ranked 2nd in space sciences. Israel produces the 3rd most scientific papers per capita, and the most in stem cell science. More Israeli patents are registered in the United States than from Russia, India and China combined (combined population 2.5 billion). It leads the world in patents for medical equipment. Israeli companies invented the drip irrigation system, discovered the world's most used drug for multiple sclerosis, designed the Pentium NMX Chip technology and the Pentium 4 and Centrium microprocessors, created Instant Messenger (ICQ), and Israeli cows produce more milk per cow than any other in the world! Business Israel has the 3rd highest rate of entrepreneurship among women in the world. Kansas City-based Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and Tel Aviv University's Faculty of Management observed that for every 100 Israeli men who start new businesses, 64 Israeli women also begin a new economic enterprise. This compares to 60 in the U.S. and 51 in Canada. October, 2000. Israel has attracted the most venture capital investment per capita in the world, 30 times more than Europe. Israel has more NASDAQ-listed companies than any country besides the US -- more than all of Europe, India, China and Japan combined. In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of startup companies in the world. In absolute numbers, Israel has more startups than any country other than the U.S. Defying the Odds Israel is the only country whose indigenous population returned to its native land after 2,000 years of forced exile. Perhaps those who so ardently want to see Israel destroyed should be careful what they wish for. © 2014 Harris R. Sherline, All Rights Reserved
We've become accustomed to the ego-centric style of our President, but a December 22nd (2012) article by Daniel Halper, "Obama Uses Funeral Service to Talk About Himself," clearly illustrates the extent to which he considers himself to be the center of the Universe. Halper reported that "Obama used the funeral for Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye to talk about himself. In the short 1,600 word speech, Obama used the word 'my' 21 times, 'me' 12 times, and 'I' 30 times." I realize that he won two elections and that he will continue to occupy the White House for another two years; but frankly, he has reached the point where his speeches are so predictable, especially his penchant for lecturing everyone else, that I no longer listen to him. Obama campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never done in his professional life. Instead he has divided us along philosophical lines, separated us, and then tried to realign America's leadership into a new and different power structure. In a December 26, 2012 article titled, "Obama Golfs for the 90th Time as President," Keith Koffler noted, "After an hour of hiking, President Obama Monday got down to the serious business at hand, heading out to golf for the second day in his first three days of vacation. He was back on the course at Marine Corps Base Hawaii." With this game, Obama reached a new milestone, having gone golfing 90 times in less than three years as president. That's about three months of golf, given that the excursions generally take about five hours, much of the useful portion of the day. "What's more, it's the 32nd time he's been on the links this year (2012), a record for the president. His 32 outings eclipse the 2010 mark of 30 and is far ahead of his 2009 tally of 28 rounds as president…" As of January 3, 2014, Obama had played 160 rounds of golf since taking office. "Aside from a man who appears to be on perpetual vacation, what else has Obama accomplished?" In a December 2011 commentary, the Boston Herald observed about Obama's interview on T.V.'s 60 Minutes: "It is amazing what ends on the floor of the cutting room. When 60 Minutes interviewed President Obama, they edited him out saying that he is the 4th best President." "He seems to think that he has accomplished so much that he ranks himself ahead of all the U.S. Presidents except Johnson, FDR and Lincoln." That means he believes that he is a better leader than George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan? Who knew he was so great? "President Obama is correct that his administration will be noted in the history books, but it won't be for being one of the greatest. It will be for being an even worse President than Carter and that's not an easy accomplishment." "This is more than just a difference of opinion. It's an example of the extreme narcissism of the man who is currently leading our nation and, unfortunately, may well be recorded as the most divisive leader in our history. America has had 42 presidents since its founding, many of whom had to deal with significant challenges, but my sense is that historians in general will probably consider him to be one of the most ineffective leaders in the nation's history." "Rather than bringing people together, he has deliberately attempted to divide them in a series of attacks on those he perceives to be his political opponents during his speaking tours around the country." If that's Obama's measure of greatness, then he may indeed be the fourth greatest president, but my sense is that most Americans will come to see it differently. "Divide and conquer may be the best strategy in war, but it is certainly the wrong way to unify the nation and gain the support he needs for his policies and programs." President Obama's approval ratings may be stuck in a sand trap, but that has not deterred him from sticking to his weekly round of golf. After teeing off Saturday at the private course in Florida where the movie "Caddyshack" was filmed, Mr. Obama hit the milestone number of 150 golf rounds in less than five years in the White House. The Secret Service loaded Mr. Obama's golf bag emblazoned with the presidential seal into the motorcade Saturday morning to head to the private Grande Oaks Golf Club in Davie. Sporting a blue polo shirt, tan slacks and a cap, Mr. Obama spent five hours on the private course with former NBA star Alonzo Mourning, friend Cyrus Walker and former U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk. Mr. Obama wasn't much of a golfer before he ran for president. His regularity on the greens started April 26, 2009. He played 27 times that first year in office, including seven rounds during his vacations on Martha's Vineyard and Hawaii. In his second year as president, Mr. Obama played a little more, 31 rounds. He included a woman for only the second time when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius joined on Oct. 10, 2010. Perhaps time on the links gave them time to discuss all the people they knew who would lose their insurance when Obamacare was implemented. Mrs. Sebelius also joined the president on the golf course on May 18. After 58 rounds in 19 months, Mr. Obama's golf game improved. At the private Mid Pacific Country Club in Kailua, Hawaii, on Dec. 28, 2010, the club's golf pro, Mark Sousa, remarked to reporters that the president's "swing looks a lot better this year." The president played even more in his third year in office — 34 rounds. Throughout his presidency, he has most frequently used courses at nearby Andrews Air Force Base and Fort Belvoir. White House trip director Marvin Nicholson, who has an eight handicap according to Golf Digest, plays with the president almost every week. The only times Mr. Nicholson is not on the course with the commander in chief is during the Christmas vacations in Hawaii. Vice President Joseph R. Biden, who had a handicap of 6.3 in 2011, according to Golf Digest, has been invited to tag along with his boss just six times in five years. (The golf magazine estimated Mr. Obama's handicap at 17 two years ago. ) Other politicians who have played with Mr. Obama during his presidency include House Speaker John A. Boehner, former President Bill Clinton (twice), New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Virginia Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe. Mr. Obama put aside his weekly golf outings several times while running for re-election in 2012. His annual total fell to 19 rounds, seven of which were in the two months after he won a second term. Never having to run for office again has given Mr. Obama a free pass to spend every weekend on the golf course. In 2013 he had already passed his 2011 record with a total of 39 rounds of golf. This includes his whopping 27 holes played in one day at Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14. © 2014 Harris R. Sherline, All Rights Reserved

Although being a pilot and surrounded by hi-tec I have not lost the sense for romantic and believe in true love! My future plans are to retire in 1-2 years time and to settle down with my new family in a country with a nice climate and safe environment - the place I want to decide with my future partner. I believe in true partnership which respects and promotes both sides. The religion is not important for me because at the end they have all the same roots. Honesty and trustee are essential for me! I like traveling and learning more about other cultures, sailing, surfing and motorbiking, but I am open for any other activities!
NO MEASURING ANGER-rubbish, no stupid book time waste ! NO RUBBISH WHAT SAPP ! Here now since: 18. June 2016. I use only the best: Skype. Elegant businessman searches new woman for moving together and with pleasure marriage. Since I was 18 years old, I have and love African women, or (black) Latin American women. WITH A BLACK LADY IS THE paradise on earth... For me since 41 years. You must later learn a little bit German for talk with family and friends and customers. My English is not perfect. Every day many women with me want contact. Hence, you should later be able to do little bit German. No measuring anger; I send you a mail (no messages only). Below you can read this text in English. I'm not able to do dancing, am very reliable and punctual. My passion is foot worship. I like elegant ladies' shoes /-heels and revere WOMEN'S FEET very much with kisses and dimension, ages, (make for some women a foot service; nail design, pedicure), like compute ring and Moto ring (I'm a car dealers, car collector and sell car parts). Nevertheless, always it should be my most valuable one which I want to revere and respect: YOU ? Here, in any case, I search only my future woman, no adventure. I take only one woman who is absolutely free. So none lives with already adult children more than 18 years together (in past this distroyed partnerships). I want to live with my woman together. But not with other adults with the majority from 18. birthday must live her own life. The women must 100% free for a own life with me (when kids under 18. in house is OK. I like kids). The woman must be absolutely free without having the obligation for her adult children to wash and to cooking and to work. When you have kids under 18. It is OK. In 2017 I want to move for ever to the UK. Must first sell here my company / all my goods. My FAVORED COUNTRY IS ENGLAND: I'am a resident (registered in home office Croydon). To Africa; only for holiday + family visits of my woman, because I would like to see new wallpapers, still a lot plan. Now I know Germany.

You are here: Home / computer repair / External Hard Drive Not Working? Fix It Now.
Cables on your computer can interfere with each other, preventing your external hard drive from sending information to your computer correctly. You can test for this problem really easily: unplug everything from your computer that you don't need when you plug in your external hard drive. Then make sure the cord from your computer to your external hard drive doesn't cross any other cords. In our external hard drive buying guide cables are a big issue.
I love USB hubs. I remember the days before USB when you could only add as many accessories to your computer as you had plugs and expansion slots. But some USB hubs stink—they're cheap and they cause more problems than they're worth.
If you're connecting your external hard drive through a USB hub, try connecting it directly to your computer to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, either continue connecting it directly to your computer or buy a higher quality USB hub.
As a side note, you should probably never connect your external hard drive to a USB hub connected to another USB hub. Each extra level of separation slows down the speed of the communication between your external hard drive and your computer, and USB starts to fail when the communication gets too slow, leading to external hard drive not working errors.
Most of us are used to electrical cables which seem to work forever, but USB data cables aren't so robust. Think about it, the typical electrical cable just sends a bunch of electricity over just two or three thick wires (negative, positive, and sometimes ground). But a USB cable features six or more fine wires, depending on which version of USB you use.
Those fine wires in a USB cable tend to break if you mishandle your cables. It's happened to me, klutz that I am. It can also happen that you get a defective cable.
The same problem applies to eSATA cables, which are also made of fine wires which must transmit huge quantities of data.
If you have spare cables for your external hard drive—or you can borrow some from a friend—now is the time to try them. If you don't have any spares, buy some—you can almost always use them for something else later, so the investment won't be wasted.
If your external hard drive is not working and it's making clicking or grinding noises, I have some bad news—it's dead or will soon be dead. There's nothing you can do to fix it.
But maybe you can still get your files off of it.
First, let's be clear, the only external hard drives which make clicking noises are magnetic hard drives or hybrid hard drives which include both a magnetic and a solid state component.
The clicking or grinding noise you hear is most often caused by the motor in your hard drive trying to spin the data disks, but the disks are sitting on worn or misshapen ball bearings.
If you can fix the ball bearings even temporarily, the disks will be able to spin and you'll be able to fix your hard drive.
The solution is simple, but strange and DANGEROUS: you need to freeze your hard drive to shrink the ball bearings back into a more ball-like shape. We've talked about the technique you should follow elsewhere—and discussed the dangers involved—so if you want to try this technique, please see that extended discussion.
If you're using an old IDE (ATA/PATA) magnetic hard drive with a USB cable adapter, beware that you may need to set the jumpers on the hard drive before you can successfully connect it to your computer. The jumpers on your hard drive are the little pins on the back of your hard drive near the power and data cables—there's usually eight of them.. The pins usually have a small metal band around some of them—that's your jumper.
The jumper connects two of the pins together electrically so your hard drive knows what it's supposed to do. Most hard drives have jumper pin documentation printed on the hard drive: it will usually show you the pin positions for auto, single, master, and slave modes.
Read the documentation for your IDE-to-USB adapter to find which pin setting you need to use. Usually it's "auto", but sometimes it's "single" or "master".
Beware: if you have a solid state drive, you can only write data to it so many times. On a typical drive this is 100,000 or 1,000,000 times—which sounds like a lot until you think about how many times you save files to the drive each day and how many days are in a year.
The write limit applies to each sector on your hard drive, but once it's reached in any one sector, the whole hard drive becomes fairly useless because Windows was designed for magnetic hard drives which fail all at once. When Windows sees one dead sector, it assumes the whole hard drive is dead.
There's no way to continue writing new files to your hard drive once a sector dies, but you can still continue reading old files off of the hard drive, so at least your important files should be safe.
When all else fails, hire an expert. Dozens of companies specialize in recovering data from failed hard drives. But note that they're all expensive. Your best protection from failure and the stress that comes with it is to make regular backups so that you're prepared for an external hard drive not working problem.
good tips. I just would not agree with freezing the drive. it is a myth and can damage hard drive even further. also the data recovery doesn't have to be very expensive. the reason is, not many people know how to do it well and most think it has to go to a clean lab right away for data to be extracted. and because people don't know how hard drives work some labs do charge astronomical fees. but in most cases -85%. data on drives that click, or fail beyond usual recognition on the computer can still be recovered without going to the clean lab.
we offer that service for $500 flat fee. and welcome referrals (that we pay for). there isn't also a diagnostic fee with us. if we recover you pay 500 if not its free.
in the rest of the cases (15%) where drives really need to go to the lab we can refer you out to a company that we work with and then the price is from 800-$1500. so its not that bad after all. not like 4-5 thousand dollar charges.
I have an external drive, and the problem is when you're connecting it to the computer, there are random times that it suddenly disconnects and can't be detected again unless you reconnect the cords. I found out that the problem were the cables and the port of my external drive. Now I'm having problem on where to find parts for it.
The jumper position recently did me in. After spending a lot of time, I finally realized both hard drives thought they were the master. Once I saw this, I changed one to a slave and I was up and running.
It is a hard blow to make you feel good again.
Here is an idea that has never failed. Buy the BEST HD you can. Do not be satisfied with a special price unless experience has taught you aboout failed drives. I have 4 HD's running and 3 more in the closet. These drives are ALL over 5 years old. I have never lost a drive.If you are familiar with the BIOS and you suspect "something" copy it to another HD. I have 11/2 Terabytes free most of the time.
Hmm, when all else fail? Well, maybe it's time to replace it with a new one.. tried everything actually and decided to replace it. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for sharing this important piece of information. It's very useful and essential especially for those who have several computers at home. Very great article!

What's the Difference Between Facebook Advertising & Boosting a Post?
When you're getting started with Facebook advertising, it's hard to know which types of ads will drive the most return for your advertising dollars.
In this blog post, we'll answer these questions and help you understand the difference between boosting Facebook posts and building a Facebook ad.
Boosting a Facebook post is easy and often tempting. All you have to do is click the Boost Post button and fill in a few targeting and budget options and you are good to go!
Boosting is a form of Facebook advertising that makes it easy to put a little bit of money behind a Facebook post and help it show up in more newsfeeds.
Sometimes, Facebook will even send you a notification that tells you one of your posts is doing well and that it would be doing even better if you put a little bit of budget into boosting it.
Boosting your Facebook posts can make your posts show up higher in the newsfeeds of the audience you target and make sure your followers see more of your posts.
While boosting a Facebook post is a great way to get more engagement from people who already follow your Facebook page, it isn't always the best way to go about advertising on Facebook.
Check out this post to learn the top 3 myths about boosting Facebook posts and why boosting isn't always the best way to go about Facebook advertising.
Full disclaimer: We do boost up to two of our clients' posts each month with our social media plan because it is a great way to get more eyes on your content and drive traffic to a certain page on your website!
When you get started with Facebook advertising, you'll need a goal for your ad. You can choose goals (or objectives) within Facebook ad manager, including building local awareness, engagement and conversions.
Who is your ideal customer? You can target based on location, age, gender, interests and more. Often, the more specific you are with your Facebook ad targeting, the better your ad results will be.
Do you need personas, images, videos or other resources for your ad? You will need to make sure you have access to these materials.
Plan your budget so that you know how much you are spending and how long your ad should run.
And, don't forget that when you set up a Facebook ad campaign, you'll need to keep an eye on it and monitor your relevance score. Ads aren't something you can set up once and forget about. They require consistent optimization and an understanding of how advertising works.
It probably sounds complicated, and that's because it is. Facebook advertising is best left to the experts.
There you have it! Both boosting a Facebook post and Facebook advertising work well in certain situations and for certain goals, so keep that in mind the next time you are hovering over the "Boost" button on your Facebook page.


Henna hair dye is often marketed as a safe, natural alternative to conventional dye, as it lacks many of the harmful chemicals (such as para-phenylenediamine, or PPD) found in boxed color kits.
Natural, however, doesn't always mean "risk-free," as one lifestyle blogger recently learned after developing a severe allergic reaction to the alternative dye.
Health and fitness vlogger Chemese Armstrong wanted to color her hair, but couldn't use conventional boxed dye because of an allergy. Seeking alternative methods, she turned to her dermatologist, who recommended henna dye.
Unfortunately, Armstrong discovered, she was allergic to that, too — severely allergic.
The henna caused her face to swell up to the point where it was completely unrecognizable, forcing her eyes completely shut for two full days. Though a doctor was able to get the reaction under control, Armstrong is speaking up about her experience on social media in the hopes of preventing another person from going through what she did.
After her face returned to its normal size and shape, Armstrong created a YouTube video to discuss her ordeal in detail. Watch it up top, and use her traumatic experience as a reminder to always be mindful of what you put in — and on — your body.

After Christchurch, Muslim commentators must call out the war on terror as much as far right violence
Hafsa Kanjwal
Published date: 20 March 2019 14:03 UTC | Last update: 1 year 9 months ago
It is important to see how the entire military-industrial complex, linked to white supremacy, relies on fear of Muslims
A man walks past a graffiti, denouncing strikes by US drones in Yemen, painted on a wall in Sanaa on 13 November, 2014 (Reuters)
Hours after the horrific terror attacks in New Zealand, which killed 50 people and left many others in critical condition, Muslim commentators were providing their analysis of what led to such a brutal massacre against Muslim men, women, and children, in what was supposed to be a place of sanctuary.
A vast majority did not mention the War on Terror.
Unfortunately, much of what has been said has been half-baked, playing into existing liberal tendencies to solely focus on the dangers of "far-right extremism", "white supremacy", neo-Nazis, and Islamophobic rhetoric by politicians.
The disastrous War on Terror
To be sure, the dangers of the far-right and white supremacy are critical. But what of US-led imperial violence, anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia fuelled by the Western liberal establishment, as well as the disastrous War on Terror, now in its 18th year?
As a 2018 report by the Watson Institute at Brown University noted, in just Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq alone, over half a million people have been killed.
What of US-led imperial violence, anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia, as well as the disastrous War on Terror?
This number does not include the number of people killed in places like Yemen, Somalia and Libya, as well as the countless others who have been killed by countries like India, Israel, Myanmar and Russia, that have utilised the war on terror logic for their own security interests.
These lives are simply erased.
As Maha Hilal, perhaps the only one that does make reference to the war on terror, notes in her article: "The global war on terror has become a blueprint for violence against Muslims. When there isn't a shooting at a mosque, there's a drone strike in Somalia. When one Friday prayer goes by without incident, an innocent Muslim is detained on material support for terrorism charges or another is killed by law enforcement. Maybe a baby is added to a no-fly list."
Everyday complicity
In sum, both the "state and society" play a role in fanning the flames of fear of, and dehumanisation of Muslims. New Zealand's massacre happened because of the everyday complicity - by the right and the left - in violence against Muslims everywhere.

It is important to see how interconnected these regimes of violence are, and how an entire military-industrial complex, also emboldened by white supremacy, relies on the strategic deployment of fear of Muslims.

This is what makes the vast majority of analysis by Muslim commentators particularly troubling. There has been a thorough litany of what Trump said and did, and how white supremacy has been unleashed during his time in power.
It becomes all too easy to call Trump "impotent" in the face of white supremacy. Trump has, in effect, become a scapegoat for everything the Western liberal establishment has refused to acknowledge within itself. Yet, his indiscriminate bombing of Muslims in Iraq, Syria and Yemen since he came to office hardly gets a mention.
Obama's bitter legacy
And what of holding Obama to account? Aside from his bombings of eight Muslim-majority countries and his expanded drone warfare, Obama oversaw the extension of "Countering Violent Extremism" (CVE) programmes.
These programmes effectively parroted the threat of radicalisation within Muslim community spaces, disproportionately targeting the American Muslim community when the real threat of extremism actually lay with white supremacists.
You dropped over 100,000 bombs on 8 majority-Muslim countries and expanded drone strikes ten fold during your presidency, butchering and displacing millions of Muslims along the way.
Your "condolences" are as opportunistic as they are fake. https://t.co/1jWOLb0Nz5
— Sarah Abdallah (@sahouraxo) March 15, 2019
This is what makes Obama's "condolences" hypocritical, and deeply offensive. And what of Bush, who should for all intents and purposes be behind bars for his illegal war in Iraq, under the lies of "weapons of mass destruction".
This pandering by Muslim commentators to the liberal elite essentially allows for a discourse that places value on Muslim lives in the West, but continues to invisibilise Muslim victims of imperial violence elsewhere.
This is why the attack shocked so many: that it happened in the "civilised" world, not in the "uncivilised other", where massacres are "routine" and "commonplace". We still seem to have no idea of our role in them.
Liberal hypocrisy
Why is the liberal establishment, then, only interested in propping up the voices of those Muslims who are not actually able to provide a real, consequential critique?
Chelsea Clinton attends a vigil held at NYU Kimmel Center to mourn for the victims of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand, in New York City, 15 March (Reuters)
Is it because it, too, is complicit in stoking the embers of white supremacy in its complete inability to question and challenge the endless bombing of Muslim-majority countries, the military industrial complex, and the subsequent racialisation of Muslims that is needed to uphold this system?
All of this makes the aftermath of the Chelsea Clinton incident a master class in liberal hypocrisy. Clinton was asked to leave a vigil held in New York City for the Muslim worshippers murdered in New Zealand, for leveling false accusations of anti-Semitism against Black Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a move that drew outrage from many Muslim guardians, with one actually describing the Palestinian Muslim woman who confronted Clinton as "dumb".
The incident revealed an inherent blindness, or perhaps a refusal, to hold liberals and pseudo-progressives accountable for their contribution to Islamophobia in one form or another.
On Ilhan Omar and the white liberal feminists
That Chelsea Clinton remains an ardent supporter of Israel, and played upon the Islamophobic trope that Muslims are anti-Semitic to shut down Omar's criticism of Israel, was overlooked.
This is what happens when Muslim lives, in this case Palestinian Muslim lives, abroad are invisibilised.
To see not just the liberal establishment, but also Muslim commentators, close ranks against a young Palestinian Muslim woman in favour of a powerful white woman, who just a few weeks ago was aligned with the far-right in her critique of Omar, was liberal hypocrisy at its zenith.
Until there is a critical intersectional conversation on these issues in the popular media, solidarity by Muslims with Muslims who are victims of the far-right will remain as vacuous as any other talking head.

Our client was charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol (Vehicle Code Section 23152(a)), a misdemeanor, one count of violation of driving while having a 0.08% or higher blood alcohol level (Vehicle Code Section 23152(b)) and one count of transportation of marijuana (Health & Safety Code Section 11360 (a)), a felony.
Police stopped our client at approximately at 11:45 p.m. as he allegedly was weaving in and out of his lane and thereby impeding traffic on Inglewood Avenue in Redondo Beach. When police approached the vehicle, they smelled marijuana. They then asked our client and his passenger if either had been using marijuana.
Our client's passenger immediately produced his medical marijuana prescription, which allows him to have up to eight ounces with him. Our client stated that he had not been smoking the marijuana while driving. Apparently satisfied that the marijuana was accounted for and its use legal, officer allowed the passenger to leave the scene.
Officers then conducted a field sobriety check on our client and he allegedly failed it. Officers also used a portable alcohol screening device to sample our client's breath to evaluate his blood alcohol content. It was 0.10%.
Officers then decided to tow our client's vehicle. Before doing so, officers conducted an inventory search and found 7.5 ounces of marijuana in the trunk, rolled up in the passenger's sweatshirt.
Officers quickly pinned the marijuana on our client (the only one left), as police had allowed the passenger to leave the scene. The District Attorney then charged our client with transportation of marijuana, a felony, and DUI.
In 50 Words or Less: Redondo Beach, felony transportation of marijuana and DUI, delayed entry of plea with six month drug treatment program for drug charge, then dismissal.
The case was filed in Torrance. At the preliminary hearing, the passenger refused to testify that the marijuana was his, as he knew that he would face federal criminal liability for such an admission. Thus, the District Attorney and our client were faced with a situation wherein it was disputed whether our client knew the marijuana was in his car while he transported it. California law is clear that a medical prescription for marijuana does not provide an affirmative defense to transportation of marijuana charges, but lack of knowledge is such a defense.
Greg Hill of Greg Hill & Associates negotiated a plea bargain for the client in which all charges would be dismissed in 18 months if our client agreed to plead no contest to transporting marijuana, (Health & Safety Code Section 11360 (a)) and DUI. The deal reached involved no jail or prison time and no formal probation for our client. Prison time was a big concern of our client. He also was particularly opposed to formal probation. As part of the deal, the client has to complete a six month drug treatment program, as well as the three month first time offender program for DUI and stay out of all trouble for 18 months.
This case summary describes a case we handled before Prop 64 became law, legalizing adult use of marijuana and dramatically changing the law on possession, transportation and sales of marijuana.
