Sweet 'n Sour (Beyoncé, Lemonade review)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many nights thinking about how you did me wrong, and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.
I Will Survive is a fantastic song, and while I have no real proof that it inspired the song Survivor, Gloria Gaynor did sing a mashup of the two songs this past January, which I think is proof enough.
Even before this week's Melodic Monday artist broke out on her own, I knew she was a survivor.
Beyoncé – Lemonade
********* 9/10
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, better known by her stage name Beyoncé, is an American singer, songwriter, producer and sometimes actress. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as lead singer of Destiny's Child, which was managed by her father, Mathew Knowles.
Destiny's Child eventually took a break though, which saw the release of Beyoncé's debut album, Dangerously in Love in 2003, and firmly established her as a solo artist and Grammy award winner. That was five solo albums ago though, and now Beyoncé has had Golden Globe nominated film appearances, married rapper Jay Z, came up with an alternate persona in Sasha Fierce, won 24 VMAs and 20 Grammy awards.
Let's talk about bae, no not Jay Z. I mean Bey, Queen B, Mothe Bee, Sasha Fierce, JuJu.
Despite what the tabloids and internet have been telling you, this album was not about Jay Z, he features in it, whether he wants to or not. This is an incredibly raw and wriggly portrait into the soul of a pop music entity which acts like Adele, Taylor Swift, and Ellie Goulding might get to see some day. Bey says it best herself "who the fuck do you think I is?" somehow making Jack White more venerable and snarly then we've seen from him in years.
But there are three other songs that cover the gamut of her feelings on being forced to deal with a broken heart – from middle-fingers-up, feeling crazy, to praying over and over. And we get these tracks right out of the gate via Pray You Catch Me, Hold Up, Don't Hurt Yourself, and Sorry. As someone who was in a LT relationship at one point (and which ended badly), I can very easily identify with her mourning over wasted love.
However, as the album moves along at a breakneck pace, we get to explore civil rights issues as they exist today, for black woman, in Freedom, which is my favourite track by far. AND there is a country track called Daddy Lessons that has more twang than anything I can think of on the local radio station dedicated to those sounds. But there's also Formation which is also rather political and important to consider in light of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Other songs talk about a relationship on the mend in Sandcastles, Forward, and All Night, though I would agree with others in saying that Sandcastles is the weakest link in the chain.
At first I thought the album name was stupid, but upon reviewing it months later, and especially at the recommendation of some much respected cultural gurus, I can see how she was able to to make lemonade out of pretty substantial jar full of lemonades.
Beyoncé probably says it best herself though when she exclaims "I'mma keep running because a winner don't quit on themselves." She figured out a way to stay strong and move on even if her album does have a happy ending. I suspect this has a lot to do with her ability to run with whatever life throws her way, just adding another chapter to the book of B.

Turtle Soup (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, review)


FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo has lauded Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) football club for being the first Ugandan Club to reach the Group Stages of the CAF Champions League.
"I am super excited. This has enhanced our case of asking for the 3rd slot for clubs to represent Uganda on the Continent," he said.
The UPL League Champion, the Uganda Cup Holders and the runners up in the league could get the opportunity to represent the country.
He said the fans, players, coaches and management are getting continental experience which will rub off in the UPL.
The money that comes into KCCA FC is football money which will trickle down to Ugandan football beyond KCCA FC.
He said its a demonstration that there is no shortcut to professionalization in order to achieve sports success.
Magogo congratulated the Executive Director and entire KCCA who are the owners of the Club, the Chairman and entire management team at the Club, the Head Coach and the entire technical team, the Captain and the gallant Players, the Club Sponsors, Ugandan football fans who supported irrespective of their local club rivalry, the Media and everyone who made a contribution.
KCCA overcame St George FC from Ethiopia 1-0 in the return leg of the CAF Champions League at the Star Times Stadium, Lugogo in Kampala on Saturday.
Striker Muhammed Shaban headed home the lone strike of the game after 46 minutes from a Mustpaha Kizza cross following a quick short corner by midfielder Muzamiru Mutyaba.
Uganda Cranes goalkeeper Robert Odongkara was in goal for St George Football Club.
The Group stage draw is on 21st March 2018 in Cairo city, Egypt.


1. PROGRAM SELECTION. (Refer to Program Listing Chart). Push the small buttons on the program switch to change the programs numbers.
2. HEADPHONES. A 3.5mm stereo plug is required. Avoid the old style headphones with the 1/4" jacks. Although they can be adapted with a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter the larger plugs can stress and damage the headphone jack. Avoid expensive, high sensitivity headphones as they may pick up annoying background artifacts and hiss.
3. SPEAKERS. Special Binaural Pillow Speakers and Tubular Field Effect Speakers are available from Meissner Industries. These speakers were specially designed as a substitute for headphones. Conventional speakers will reduce the effectiveness of the Brain State Synchronizer.
4. ON-OFF SWITCHES. The START switch is located to the left of the volume control, the STOP is located to the right of the volume control. It may be necessary to hold the Start switch down for a moment until you hear the program begin. Some programs stop automatically (power off) and turn the Synchronizer off. Others repeat continuously (repeat).
5. VOLUME CONTROL. The volume control should be turned up to be quite loud for maximum effectiveness, but, do not exceed your comfort level.
6. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. The UP program modes can be used while driving. The DOWN, SLEEP, and RELAX modes MUST NOT BE USED WHILE DRIVING. The UP modes stimulate concentration and tend to promote reflex response improvement. This is accomplished by promoting an increase in Beta wave amplitude. The DOWN, SLEEP, and RELAX modes promote Alpha, Theta, and Delta activity and are best for relaxation, sleep, stress reduction, and meditation.
7. BATTERIES AND RECHARGING. A 2.1mm power jack is located to the left of the volume control. The 12-volt charger plugs into the power jack and requires 16 hours to recharge a dead battery pack. The charger can be left plugged into the Model 11 to provide a trickle charge to the NiCad battery pack. Depending on use and volume, you can expect 4 to 5 hours of battery life before needing a recharge.
NOTE: THE MODEL 11 BRAIN STATE SYNCHRONIZER IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO DIAGNOSE OR CURE A MEDICAL CONDITION. If you are under the care of a physician you are advised to seek your physician's approval before using the Model 11 Brain State Synchronizer.

Vegetarians and health nuts have long touted the benefits of goat's milk, cheese, and all the other stuff that goes along with it, but there's a new exercise fad in town.
Make way for goat yoga.
Yes, goat yoga is a real thing, and it's happening in New Hampshire right now. (Strangely, there aren't any goat yoga studios in Milwaukee yet, so if anyone opens one, let me know.) It's actually been a "thing" for more than a year.
Goat yoga is the practice of doing yoga in the same room with a handful of baby goats. Goats climb on you when you're doing the downward dog, dart between your legs when you stretch, and occasionally stop to nibble on your ear while you're perfecting your poses.
Peter Corriveau, the guy who owns one of the most popular goat yoga studios in the country, said it surprised him that it took off so quickly.
Classes are about $22 each, and instructor Janine Bibeau says that the goats make class a lot more fun.
Would you try goat yoga? If you're not already into yoga, would baby goats encourage you to give it a shot? I'd love to hear your take, so please share your thoughts on my Facebook page or on Twitter.

A book that collects true stories about finding your people on the internet of the mid-2000s.
There once was a time when the internet felt better than IRL.
Better Than IRL is a collection of true stories about the years when the internet was still a paradise when it came to building real human connections and finding supportive communities. With 20 essays written by pioneers and participants from online communities, this paperback (or digital book!) looks at how this specific time on the internet changed us, and how we can take the elements that made it so much better than IRL with us into the future.
Better Than IRL will be a collection of true stories written by people who fostered connection and sharing on the internet. True stories like the ones above, which will all be included in the collection. The book will be personal and hopeful. It won't be nostalgic moaning about how the internet isn't what it once was—it will discuss how it made us into who we are now and how we can take the lessons we learned about inclusion and belonging to be better people going forward. With talented authors from Canada, South Africa, Pakistan, USA, Singapore, UK, and Liberia, the book covers a wide array of experiences with the beginnings of the Web 2.0.

Molly Crabapple is an artist and writer in New York. She is the author of two books, Drawing Blood and Brothers of the Gun, (with Marwan Hisham). Her reportage has been published in the New York Times, New York Review of Books, The Paris Review, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and elsewhere. Her art is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the United States Library of Congress, and the New York Historical Society. Incredible woman.

£100 Chat Room with the Editor! Get a video call from the editor of Better Than IRL, Katie West, so you can both chat about how much you miss being an emotional mess on the internet. Or whatever.
We believe in creating opportunities for emerging authors and always include new talent alongside established names. While most of the authors in this book have been curated to participate, a portion will come from open submissions gathered as the Kickstarter runs.
Want to submit an essay for publication in Better Than IRL? This is a well-paid opportunity. Essays should be 2000–4000 words. Click here for more information and detailed guidelines.
One of our favourite things about making books is paying authors what they're worth. Writing is not making many people rich, but it should be! Authors make us laugh, cry, and question; they teach us, they challenge us, they encourage us, they change us. At Fiction & Feeling we want our authors to feel loved, and we want that love to look like bigger payments landing in their bank accounts. With this in mind, all of our stretch goals involve paying our authors more and more and more!
£40,000: All writers get a 10% pay increase!
£45,000: All writers get a 20% pay increase!
£50,000: All writers get a 40% pay increase!
£60,000: All writers get a 60% pay increase!
One of the driving principles at Fiction & Feeling is that all creators are paid fairly; this accounts for why contributors' compensation is one of the biggest slices of our funding pie. But it's also why the cost for design and rewards are high: everyone who does a job for Fiction & Feeling gets paid what they're worth, and we think they're worth quite a bit!
We're also pairing up with Make That Thing to ensure fulfilment goes smoothly. Last time, shipping became a bit of a mess, so this time shipping and fulfilment are built into the budget.
Our initial campaign goal covers all printing, design, and editing costs; provides compensation for all of the contributors in the book; and covers shipping and fulfilment costs, reward production, and Kickstarter/credit card fees.
Video music: 'Paint Can' by Daphne & Celeste is from the album Daphne & Celeste Save The World, written and produced by Max Tundra. You can purchase the album (which is FANTASTIC) right here.
This will be the third Kickstarter I've run, and the previous two were quite successful. That being said, I learned some big lessons last time—this time things should run more smoothly. I am extremely communicative and transparent with status updates and any possible delays. These delays can come from manufacturers or shipping snafus, but they will all be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Please be aware that the authors are not required to submit their finished essays to me until after the campaign is successfully funded and their payment is guaranteed. Due to this time delay, it's possible an author may need to pull out of the project due to unexpected workload or commitments. However, there will always be the advertised number of essays found in the book, even if the authors may change.

The college, built in the 1940's with the help of students, only had enough money to build 12 of the structures Wright designed. Most of the buildings are open to the casual visitor to the college. A walking tour of the campus includes the only planetarium Wright ever designed as well as small but splendid chapels. Polk County 's historic districts offer a glimpse of the past. Lakeland's Munn Park boasts the largest collection of antiques in the area with more than 60 independently owned shops housed in restored buildings dating back to the early 1900's. Antique districts can also be found in Lake Alfred, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Bartow, Frostproof, Haines City and Davenport Florida.
A little off the beaten track in Mulberry Florida, you can travel to The Mulberry Florida Chamber of Commerce and see an exceptional collection of more than 3,000 petrified fossils, ranging from the skulls of a rare three-toed horse and six-horned antelope to an 18-foot skeleton of a 10 million year old Baleen whale. Mulberry is not only the "Phosphate Capital of the World," but also Florida's 'Bone Valley' where these creatures lived and died millions of years ago before they were found in the area during commercial digging for phosphate.
While in Mulberry, don't miss the City Lights/Cypress Nights in Bartow Florida during the Christmas season! Recognized by the American Bus Association as one of the top 100 events in North America, this initiative is a countywide tourism and Christmas decoration program to attract tourists to Polk County with its grand light displays and holiday celebrations. Sponsored by the Central Florida Visitors and Convention Bureau and area Chambers of Commerce, this program attracts hundreds of buses loaded with visitors to the area. Each participating city has a specific theme and Bartow Florida is known as the "The City of Nostalgia". Make a point to go and enjoy the carriage rides through the beautifully decorated neighborhoods!
A true high point in any visit to Polk County is a trip to Lake Wales Florida and Historic Bok Tower Gardens just north of The Lake Wales Chamber of Commerce, in Lake Wales Florida. Built on the highest point in peninsular Florida, Bok Tower, a National Landmark is one of the state's most famous and beautiful landmarks. Although its place in the Central Florida landscape is well known, its unique structure and beautiful gardens are less familiar. The 205 foot tower is constructed of pink and gray Georgia marble and coquina stone from St. Augustine. The carillon houses 57 bronze bells which range in weight from 17 pounds to 12 tons which ring out daily recitals across the hills of Central Florida. Visiting musicians and moonlight recitals are scheduled throughout the summer and winter. The surrounding 157 acres of gardens and nature trails feature azaleas, camellias and magnolias, and provide habitat for a colony of wood ducks and 126 other wild bird species. Trophy Bass fishing awaits you at Camp Mack's River Resort which is located on a sheltered bend of the Kissimmee River just two miles north of Lake Kissimmee and one mile south of Lake Hatchineha in Lake Wales. Year after year, these two lakes produce big bass. Families from around the world use Camp Mack as their headquarters, while fishing for trophy Florida Largemouth Bass, Crappies (Specks), Shell Crackers and Bluegills. Chalet Suzanne Country Inn and Restaurant in Lake Wales has been making guests welcome for over 70 years, whether you come by car or plane .. for a single meal or several ... for one day or more. This enchanting Inn of 30 rooms, nestled on a 100 acre estate, is a gracious oasis amidst the excitement of Central Florida attractions, catering to discriminating guests of all ages. Each Chalet guestroom greets you with cordial warmth, delightfully different, with the comforts of private entrance, private bath, air conditioning, telephone and television. The sparkling pool, lake and airstrip are only a few steps from your courtyard or patio. The essence of the Chalet's reputation is its cuisine, food that Gourmet Magazine calls "glorious" ... served in a unique setting of five quaint rooms on many levels, overlooking the lake. Every corner glows with antiques, stained glass and old lamps from far away places. Before you leave, seek out these whimsical spots ... The Swiss Room, Wine Dungeon, Gift Boutique, Autograph Garden, Chapel Antiques, Ceramic Salon, Airstrip and last but not least, the Soup Cannery, where those delicious soups, which have even been to the Moon, are processed for gift giving all over the globe. Chalet Suzanne is a subtle balm ... a lovely memory that stays hidden in your heart. Lake Wales is also host to The Lake Wales Historic District. This beautiful area is home to more than 30 of Central Florida's finest restaurants and most interesting shops, offering art, antiques, gifts, as well the fascinating National Register architecture structures on adjoining streets within the District. The annual Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day Festivities, Veteran's Day Parade & Patriotism Celebration, Arts on the Avenue Festival, and Christmas Festival are events you will not want to miss! The area is fast becoming the region's Entertainment District, and there's plenty of musical entertainment offered each week. The Lake Wales Depot Museum is a resource center for the collection, conservation, exhibition, and study of materials pertaining to the history of Lake Wales, Florida. The Lake Wales Museum and Cultural Center, popularly known as The Depot Museum, serves as the means by which the historical record of Lake Wales --both past and present-- may be preserved and shared with the citizens of the community. The visitor center at Florida's Natural is a must-see for travelers through Central Florida. What a homey feeling visitors have when they walk through the doors of the cracker syle house. Take a few minutes to walk through the gift shop. Have a glass of Florida's Natural® Brand juice, choose from several variety of flavors and visit the museum area and theater. The theater is cool and comfortable as you sit and watch Florida's Natural Brand juices develop from the tree to the glass. Relax for a few minutes on the front porch. The rockers will be waiting for you! A little known slice of Florida history comes alive in Polk County at the Lake Kissimmee Cow Camp. Here, the life of the Florida cracker cowboy or 'cow hunter' is recreated as visitors travel back in time to the year 1876. The cow hunters work at a frontier camp where cows are rounded up and branded each spring in an authentically recreated world of Florida as it was a decade after the War between the States. Lake Kissimmee State Park also features 13 miles of nature trails through habitat for bald eagles, hill cranes, turkeys and bobcats. One of Florida's best-known free attractions is Spook Hill, in Lake Wales. Spook Hill is located just a few blocks from the National Historic District. This mystery of nature attracts many thousands of visitors each year.
A tiny town tucked between Clinch Lake and Lake Reedy in the south east corner of Polk County, in the central portion of Florida is Frostproof Florida. As you will see by visiting the City of Frostproof Florida This area is known as part of the ridge, a series of long, slow rolling hills of various types of sand, limestone, lakes and creeks. Natural history for the area shows the center of Florida was once a long sand bar that grew into rolling sand dunes and over millions of years became the Florida we know today. Evidence of white beach sand can still be seen in what are called scrub islands, patches of land, undisturbed by development, that have plant and animal life found no where else on Earth. The east side of Frostproof is sheltered by 26,000 acres of the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest. To the north and east of the city is The Nature Conservancy's Tiger Creek Preserve, another 4,805 acres of protected lands. Longleaf pine forest, scrub oak islands, oak hammocks with stands of cypress and lob-lolly bays in the wetter areas, with tannin water creeks and lakes make up most of this preserved land which consists of The Nature Conservancy, Lake Wales Ridge Program and Lake Wales Ridge State Forest.
Polk County's Green Swamp offers an ecosystem with few intrusions from the industrialized world, leaving the habitat truly natural and undisturbed. Within Green Swamp, visitors can canoe and fish in the headwaters of five rivers, bike along abandoned railroad corridors -- including the 28-mile long Polk County Rail Trail that passes through the swamp -- or simply marvel at the spectacular natural beauty of this rare habitat. The swamp is the wintering ground for numerous migratory birds and even panthers have been spotted on occasion.

Q: Python try & expect for multiple appends in for loop data = {"Street" : [],
        "City" : [],
        "State" : [],
        "ZIP" : [],
        "Status" : []}

counter = 0

for i in rows:

    if len(i) == 4:

        data["Street"].append(i[2][2:])

        data["City"].append(i[3][2:-2])

        data["State"].append(i[3][-2])

        data["ZIP"].append(i[3][-1])

        data["Status"].append(i[0][-1])

I'm looping over a nested lists rows, there are cases where the items were not in the lists, in that case, I get the below error
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IndexError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-6b86cd54b28b> in <module>()
     29     data["Street"].append(i[2][2:])
     30
---> 31     data["City"].append(i[3][2:-2])
     32
     33     data["State"].append(i[3][-2])

IndexError: list index out of range

To eliminate this error, I want to append items only if it exists, if it doesn't exist I want to add None
for i in rows:

    if len(i) == 4:

        try:
            data["Street"].append(i[2][2:])

        except Exception as E:
            data["Street"].append(None)

        try:

            data["City"].append(i[3][2:-2])

        except Exception as E:
            data["City"].append(None)

        try:
            data["State"].append(i[3][-2])
        except Exception as E:
            data["State"].append(None)

        try:
            data["ZIP"].append(i[3][-1])

        except Exception as E:
            data["ZIP"].append(None)

        try:
            data["Status"].append(i[0][-1])

        except Exception as E:
            data["Status"].append(None)

        # Ans soooo on

Instead of adding multiple try & except for each append
Is there a better way of doing this...

A: I don't really know what you want to do. I suspect you're trying to parse an address (and yes, there are likely much better ways to do it), but given your current code, you could simplify it using a dictionary of the slices to extract:
slices = {'Street': (2, slice(2, None)),  # 2  ;  2:
          'City':   (3, slice(2, -2)),    # 3  ;  2:-2
          'State':  (3, -2),              # 3  ; -2
          # ...
         }

for i in rows:
    if len(i) == 4:
        for k, (a,b) in slices.items():
            try:
                data[k].append(i[a][b])
            except:
                data[k].append(None)

NB. in except a good practice would be to specify which kind of Exception you expect (e.g., except IndexError:)

A: You can adapt this approach:-
data = {"Street": [],
        "City": [],
        "State": [],
        "ZIP": [],
        "Status": []}

def da(a, r, i, s):
    try:
        a.append(r[i][s])
    except IndexError:
        a.append(None)

da(data['Street'], [], 2, slice(2, None))
da(data['City'], [], 3, slice(2, -2))
da(data['State'], [], 3, -2)
da(data['ZIP'], [], 3, -1)
da(data['Status'], [], 0, -1)

print(data)

A: You can do this:
        for data in (old_data, new_data):
            try:
                res.append(json.loads(data)[attr])
            except (TypeError, KeyError):
                continue

This way you can keep the previous element even if an exception subsequently occurs.

Blog: Live In Session
Last time here I UNLEASHED a video of a song what I wrote during, and about, the early chunk of Lockdown. That was the only song I wrote ABOUT The Current Situation, but it's not the only song I wrote DURING it. I've had two BATCHES of songwriting in fact, on right at the very start of All This, and then another about six weeks ago, where there was a DELUGE of songs, some of which I believe are Quite Good!
These have now been DEMOED and sent to The Validators, so hopefully some of them will be available on our next release (which going by our usual speedy standards will be sometime in the 22nd century!) but in the meantime you can hear ONE of these songs on a SESSION what I recorded for Mr S McHugh on his Regalnet Radio show, HERE:
The new song's called "Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?" and, like most of the new songs, is based on my THORTS while at home for the past year. There's also a couple of older songs PLUS my own version of Our Year by Jane And John, which is slightly more SHOUTY than the original!

There are a number of excellent golf courses in and near Portpatrick, the closest being Portpatrick Golf Club itself which is just a few minutes walk from our gate.
Three of these golf clubs, Portpatrick, Stranraer and Wigtownshire County offer reduced green fees to our guests. Both Portpatrick Golf Course and Stranraer Golf Courses are listed in Scotland's top 100 courses. St, Medan's Golf Course is the most southerly golf course in Scotland.
We have a bowling green open to visitors, located near Portpatrick harbour.
Prices – (2010) £2,50 per day. £12.00 per week or £22.00 per fortnight.
There is also a putting green next to the bowling green.
The tennis court also near the putting and bowling doubles as a 5 a side football pitch.
There is a pitch & put course at the Portpatrick Hotel which is available to non-residents.
At nearby Sandhead there is a large bowling green which welcomes visitors. It is reasonably priced (2010) at £2.00 per player per day. Weekly fee is £10 or £14 for two weeks.
Some of our favourite walks in the Portpatrick area.
We hope that you will find the walking information helpful and that you will enjoy these walks.
We have a stock of maps for our area, some walking poles and a compass which our guests are welcome to borrow when walking.
We are very keen walkers ourselves and are happy to chat about alternative walks in South West Scotland.
Although Portpatrick Harbour is now little used by commercial fishing boats there are several options available for visitors to fish either in the sea or nearby lochs.
There are 6 "seats" on the rocks around Portpatrick harbour and each can usually fish 3-4 people. Species available include cod, pollack, plaice, mackerel and mullet amongst others.
Portpatrick Community Council have included an excellent article in their newsletter giving full details of these seats and copies are available at Rickwood and other accommodation providers in the village.
Two boat owners operate from Portpatrick Harbour providing various options for sea fishing and for sight seeing trips. Please contact us for current details.
Dunskey Estate, about a mile out of Portpatrick has two fresh-water lochs well stocked with Rainbow & Brown Trout.
There are boats on both lochs and a fishing hut on the smaller one, and there will never be more than two boats on the larger one and one on the smaller one.
Loch Fishing at Dunskey costs £20 for a day ticket including boat (3 fish), £16 for an evening ticket (2 fish).
Portpatrick Folk Festival is an annual event held on the first weekend of September. If weather permits, informal sessions are held outdoors on the harbour front as well as concerts in the village hall, the Crown Hotel in Portpatrick and other hotels in Portpatrick.
Portpatrick's own "Life o Reilly" feature throughout the weekend.
This popular annual event starts in late September and usually runs into the start of October.
Wigtown Book Festival has been held since 1999 and seems to get bigger and better each year. It is now one of the major events in the South of Scotland.
Wigtown itself is only about 40 minutes by car from Portpatrick so a stay in Portpatrick can easily be combined with visits to Wigtown Book Festival.
"Big names" attending the festival in recent years include Ian Rankin, Iain (M) Banks, John Byrne, Phyllida Law, Margo MacDonald, Martin Bell, Allan Massie, Sally Magnusson, Barbara Dickson and many others.

Man who recorded sleeptalking for a year swears it's no hoax
In a year of talking in his sleep, filmmaker Adam Rosenberg rambles, babbles and possibly speaks Russian. Some YouTube viewers don't believe he's for real.
Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
Dec. 21, 2016 9:44 p.m. PT
Filmmaker Adam Rosenberg lives and sleeps in Boulder, Colorado. And when he sleeps, he talks. Rambles, really.
He might say, "Just add look dust! Da looky as cause, cause you act like a booger!" Or, "No, you should put the drumsticks in your mouth."
Sometimes what he says might make sense, if there were some kind of context. ("That means, 'yeah, baby!'")
Sometimes it's complete gibberish. ("Right on the, right on the sub line. Right on the love line.") Sometimes he seems to speak with a Russian accent. Or Swedish. Or some kind of accent, anyway. ("Eeee Gustav Gustav Excuse Deasdavitch.")
Some of what he says is R-rated, or might be, if it were a little more intelligible.
Rosenberg knows this because after being repeatedly told he talked in his sleep, he wanted to hear what he said. So after fooling around with a phone app that tracked his sleep and recorded audio, he set up a high-quality recording setup. After a year of recording his sleeptalking, he edited it together into a video he dubbed "The Somniloquist," a Latin word for "sleeptalker."
If you read the YouTube comments (never a good idea), you'll see that many people are flat-out calling the video a fake and Rosenberg a hoaxer. He swears the audio is real footage of his sleeptalking, with two intentional exceptions.
"I understand how people might think the video is fake, simply because if that were my intention, it would be easy to do," Rosenberg told CNET. "The intro and outro video are staged recreations, and I think that leads people to believe that the rest of the video is staged as well."
The quality is what you'd expect from a guy who makes films for a living. "I used a Zoom H4n recorder mounted 1.5 feet (0.45 meters) above my head to record the audio, and the sound was mixed to enhance the quality as you would with any video," he said.

The results of the recording were a revelation. "I was definitely surprised with what I heard. There were a lot of different voices and accents," Rosenberg said. "There was also a lot of flatulence."
Commenters have also inquired as to whether Rosenberg is speaking Russian or Swedish at different parts of the audio recording, but he doesn't speak those languages. "I think the phrases that sound like other languages were me attempting to emulate those languages, but nothing more," he says.
Rosenberg doesn't feel he needs sleep therapy or any treatment, as the talking doesn't affect his rest. He's moved on from audiotaping himself, and is currently working on three short comedy films about psychics, which he calls "Psychic Pstories." "We're launching an IndieGoGo campaign in the next couple days," he says.
And he's found that the cure for sleeptalking might be to not sleep alone. "I probably do still sleeptalk, but I am no longer recording them so I can't be sure," he says. "One thing I've noticed is I talk less when someone else is sleeping with me."
But again, he wants it known he's no fake. "To clarify, all the audio of me talking is 100% real except for the two quotes at the beginning of the video, which are reenactments of things I actually said," he said. "Even the fart is real."

For those modelers interested in operating their layouts in a prototypical fashion, duplicating the activities, and even the paperwork, of real railroaders, we are providing these downloadable files for your use. These are PDF files that we have created to match Reading Company documents as closely as possible in terms of size, style and layout.
1975 Reading Company Freight Waybill: A PDF version of a 1975 Reading Company Freight Waybill. This document will print on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper - much larger than the popular Old Line Graphics/Micro-Mark 4-cycle waybills. Although these might be cumbersome in model operations, we're making them available as authentic source material for those who may want to use them as a guide for making their own waybills.
Car Ticket: The original Reading Company version of a "car card" is provided here for use in developing a car-card-and-waybill system for operating your layout in a prototypical manner.
Clearance Form "A" (4-59): A PDF file of the Clearance Form "A" used by the Reading Company, dated 4/59. This form would accompany Train Order forms and would authorize the train to proceed when starting travel or accepting train orders. Created two to a page for photocopying and cutting for use in model operations. Thanks to Bruce Kelly, Rob Mandeville, Rick Bates and Bob Reid for contributing source material.
Clearance Form "A" (7-65): A PDF file of the Clearance Form "A" used by the Reading Company, dated 7/65. Used in an identical manner to the 4-59 form, this just shows the railroad moving to a more modern typeface as time progressed. Courtesy Bruce Kelly.
Clearance Form "A" (1970s): A PDF File of the Clearance Form "A" used by the Reading Company. While not dated, it appears to be from the 1970s given the typeface. Users will also note some changes in the wording on the form from earlier versions. Courtesy Bruce Kelly.

It was an encounter with a famous 500-year-old collection of fresco artwork that pushed Dr. Christopher Bennett, a then-17-year-old high school student, into a career of art history.
Bennett went on to graduate with a bachelor's degree in art history from the University of Georgia in Athens in 2000 and eventually received his doctorate from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 2008.
The assistant professor, who has been at UL Lafayette now for three years, has taught at multiple universities across the country, moving from coast to coast in some instances, and his work has been published in a number of places.
Last year, he partnered with the Paul and Lulu Hilliard Art Museum as both the guest curator for an exhibit featuring artwork from Sandra Eula Lee and Yun-Fei Ji, as well as the author for the accompanying printed catalog.
And his success did not stop there.
After presenting at a conference in New York in 2015, Bennett was asked to submit his research for the possibility of publication in "Untying the Knot: The State of Italian Postwar Art History Today." His work, "Gleaning Italian Pop, 1960-66: Venice Biennale, Renato Mambor's 'Thread', and Pop as a Global Phenomenon," was one of about 15 selected for the edition.
The publication is expected to be available this spring.
In addition to his own research, he and Dr. Allison Leigh, fellow art history professor, created the first "Undergraduate Art History Paper Forum," which aims to highlight and cultivate undergraduate research in upper level art history courses.
Bennett has also worked alongside visual arts professor Steven Breaux to publicize his fellow faculty members' research through Pulse, a lecture series that happens as often as three times a semester. Pulse not only showcases faculty research, but it also gives professors, like Bennett, an opportunity for feedback from others in the field.

Powerful 7.5 Magnitude Quake Rocks Southern Ecuador
A USGS map shows the location of a very powerful earthquake that struck Ecuador on Feb. 22, 2019.
A very powerful magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck southern Ecuador in the early hours of Friday close to the country's border with Peru, although no immediate reports of possible casualties or damage were available.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake happened at 10:17 GMT 115 kilometers (71 miles) southeast of the town of Palora, in the Morona Santiago province, at a depth of 132 kilometers (82 miles).
The quake was felt in the Ecuadorean capital, Quito, and the coastal city of Guayaquil.
Peru's official geophysics institute said it registered two aftershocks of 6.06 and 6.6 magnitude in the 30 minutes that followed the first tremor.
Ecuador's President Lenin Moreno said on his official Twitter account that "preliminary reports of the quakes near Macas (the provincial capital of Morona Santiago) don't show major damage."
The quakes, he wrote, "were felt all over the country."
A 7.8-magnitude earthquake that shook a central area of the Ecuadorean coast on April 16, 2016, killed more than 700 people, destroyed hundreds of houses and caused more than $3 billion of losses.

Bayat Foundation provides aid to needy people in Bamiyan
US envoy, Pakistan officials discuss IEA ban on women
(Last Updated On: November 25, 2021)
The Bayat Foundation distributed a large consignment of aid to hundreds of needy families in Bamiyan province this week as the organization's winter aid campaign continues.
The city of Bamiyan, famous for its ancient Buddhas, is home to thousands of poverty-stricken people.
With the onset of winter and the lack of proper housing in the province, life for the locals has become extremely difficult.
However, this week's consignment of aid from the Bayat Foundation was welcomed with open arms.
Foundation officials say the donations include flour, rice and oil, which were distributed to those in need after a comprehensive needs assessment was carried out.
"The Bayat Foundation's assistance campaign is carried out every year in times of crisis, especially in winter. Now we have reached Bamiyan. The aid included flour, rice and oil and distributed to in-need people," said Haji Mohammad Ismail, deputy head of the Bayat Foundation.
Recipients of the aid welcomed the help provided and said the food parcels have come at the right time.
"We are grateful to the Bayat Foundation, we need the help and received it," said Zainab, a resident of Bamiyan province.
"We are grateful to Bayat Foundation for helping us this cold winter," said Nadira, another resident.
"The Bayat Foundation helped us and we are glad, and hope they continue with their campaign," said Mohammad Hussain, another resident.
The foundation has for the past two months been distributing essential food items to desperate families across the country in a bid to help stave off starvation amid an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis.

Local officials in Herat say that the process of issuing Iranian visas to Afghans has resumed in the province after a pause of two months.
A private company has been authorized as Iranian visa application center in Herat, but travel agencies which used to offer services to the applicants criticize the move.
They say that this process was put out to tender and seven companies were selected to offer visa services, but this process has been given exclusively to one company.
"We used to do this for 150 afghanis, but this company charges 350 afghanis," said Abdul Waheed Amiri, the manager of a travel agency in Herat.
Currently, more than 300 travel agencies are operating in Herat city.
Local officials in Herat say that the company that is authorized as Iranian visa application center is an Iran-linked agency.
"Iran has set agents for itself in three parts of Herat city. The agency of the diplomatic mission of Iran operates here," said Naeemulhaq Haqqani, the head of Herat's information and culture department.
The process of issuing Iranian visas resumed in Herat since three days ago, but visa applicants are not satisfied with this process and say that they wait day and night for their visas to be issued.
"We have been visiting here for three days. The Islamic Emirate says that the visa is suspended, but it will be opened when we leave here. People are not taken care of," said Fraidoon, a visa applicant.

The extraction of power from the flow of water has become an important potential source of clean energy. In spite of significant interest in the interaction between energy extraction devices and water currents, comparatively little work has focused on flow asymmetry. Indeed, unusual wake behaviour and limits of turbine array efficiency have typically been attributed to boundary effects rather than the particular turbine geometry. The aim of the present study was to reveal the asymmetries in the hydrodynamic wake and the interactions with the sediment bed due to the presence of a hydrokinetic turbine. We combined: (i) computational fluid dynamics simulations; (ii) optical flow measurements from a series of flume experiments above a fixed rough bed; and (iii) acoustic measurements from a further series of flume experiments above a mobile sand bed. Results showed flow asymmetry due to the presence of the rotor which appeared to be related to the development of the wake and potentially to the gyre of the blades. Suspended sediments in the flume also exhibited asymmetrical characteristics due to the flow asymmetry. This imbalance in the flow field and sediment transport may decrease energy extraction efficiency in turbine arrays and also could have important environmental consequences.

Moritomo Gakuen scandal another history Japan's nationalists may wish to rewrite
With its leader Yasunori Kagoike in the middle of land transaction scandal, the opening of Moritomo Gakuen's new elementary school in Osaka Prefecture has been postponed indefinitely. | KYODO
by Eric Johnston
OSAKA – It began as a dream. Conservatives and nationalists, angry at what they saw as a public education system that taught a self-denigrating, incorrect view of Japan's 20th century history and upset at social changes they felt had led to a loss of respect among children for Japan's traditional values and norms, would create a private elementary school in Osaka tailored to their beliefs.
Now, however, the opening of educational entity Moritomo Gakuen's new Mizuho no Kuni elementary school (almost named Shinzo Abe Elementary School), scheduled for April 1, has been postponed indefinitely.
It was revealed in February that the government land purchased for the school had been heavily discounted in a shady deal. That scandal led to revelations of Moritomo Gakuen's links to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's wife, Akie, and Defense Minister Tomomi Inada, as well as to allegations so far unproven beyond a reasonable doubt by the entity's chief Yasunori Kagoike that the new school received, via Akie Abe, a ¥1 million donation from the prime minister himself.
Kagoike gave sworn Diet testimony last week, where he repeated his assertions about Akie Abe, suggested Osaka Gov. Ichiro Matsui betrayed him by blocking approval of his new school, and said that three Osaka-based Diet members were involved. This has raised the stakes and national media attention, ensuring the scandal won't go away.
As forceful as Kagoike's allegations have been, the denials from those named as of late last week have been equally forceful.
After saying she could not remember, Akie posted a strong denial on social media that she'd handed over ¥1 million. Same with the three politicians named by Kagoike.
Nippon Ishin's Toru Azuma of the Upper House denied doing anything on Kagoike's behalf. Fellow councilor Takuji Yanagimoto of the Liberal Democratic Party said his office did little more than provide an introduction to officials over the phone. Former LDP lawmaker Issei Kitagawa said he'd never met Kagoike or even heard of him until the scandal broke.
In Osaka, attention has shifted to what Osaka Gov. Matsui, a close Abe ally despite heading the nominal opposition party Nippon Ishin no Kai, knew about the land deal and when he knew it. This has raised still unanswered questions about what the political and financial relationship other conservative groups and individuals might have had with Abe, Matsui and Moritomo Gakuen.
The scandal also has Osaka prefectural officials in charge of private school applications and central government officials at the Kinki Regional Finance Bureau blaming each other over who is responsible for selling Moritomo a hunk of land valued at ¥956 million for only ¥134 million. Earlier this month, a delegation of ruling bloc and opposition Diet members visited Osaka to try to determine how the deal came about but were told the prefecture had not kept detailed records.
What they did learn was that in summer 2011, the entity had asked the Osaka Prefectural Government to relax the restrictions on setting up private schools. The request was granted in April 2012, just a few months after Toru Hashimoto stepped down as governor and became Osaka mayor, and his ally, Matsui, became governor.
In September 2013, Moritomo told the Kinki Regional Finance Bureau, part of the Finance Ministry, that it was interested in acquiring government-owned property in Toyonaka, Osaka Prefecture, for its new elementary school. Negotiations began, with the finance bureau indicating Moritomo could reply about its interest if the project was approved. The prefecture, however, said that without land and a building, approval to operate could not be granted.
That October, the prefecture phoned the finance bureau to ask about progress and was told the bureau was relying on Moritomo to provide detailed documentation of its plans. A month later, the bureau said it told the prefecture that, once a final decision about the project was made, it would reply about whether it would negotiate the land deal.
Afterward, there was a long waiting period and the details are not clear. In October 2014, Moritomo submitted an application to have the elementary school approved by the prefecture. In December, the prefecture told Moritomo it was still discussing the matter. But in January 2015, the private-school section replied that authorization was considered "appropriate."
In May 2015, a 10-year rental lease for the property was drawn up. But the following month, after deducting ¥800 million as the cost of removing garbage on the site, Moritomo was able to buy land originally valued at ¥956 million for only ¥134 million.
But official records of the negotiating process, especially from 2013 to 2014, do not exist, prefectural officials told the Diet delegation. The chronology they were presented with was based on interviews with officials who were in charge at the time.
"Notes were not taken and negotiations were done over the telephone. Preparing documents (of the negotiations) would leave a huge volume of paperwork," Osaka Gov. Ichiro Matsui said.
The governor denied any suggestion he intervened with prefectural officials on Moritomo's behalf.
"If I ordered preferential treatment to be given to Moritomo, I'll resign," Matsui said.
For his part, former Osaka Mayor and Ishin co-founder Hashimoto, who had been governor in 2011 when the entity originally asked for the rules regarding new private schools to be relaxed, blamed his lack of attention to the details of deregulation for the problem.
"It was my mistake. When I was governor, I had to make deregulation of private school regulations and the strengthening of the system of prefectural checks for private school applications part of a set. There were voices of concern about Moritomo's finances. The prefecture appeared to confirm they were OK and this led to approval with certain conditions. But the origin of the problem is that my efforts to strengthen the prefecture's system of checking on private school applications was insufficient," Hashimoto said on his Twitter account and on television last week.
The mea culpa did little, however, to negate suspicion that the good deal Moritomo received had something to do with gubernatorial successor Matsui's cozy relations with Abe. Both men share similar views on perceptions of history and education.
As do many of the groups in Osaka that support Nippon Ishin. One that has come under the spotlight is the conservative Japan Conference (Nippon Kaigi), which also advocates nationalist causes.
In a statement earlier this month, the group said Kagoike had once been a member but left in 2011. In an online interview published last week in Shukan Asahi, Japan Conference Chairman Tadae Takubo said his organization had no connection with Kagoike.
But Hashimoto said that while everybody who once supported, directly or indirectly, Moritomo and Kagoike may now be reluctant to admit it, the school's nationalist educational philosophy enjoys a lot of support among prominent people.
"I wouldn't make my own kids recite the Meiji Imperial Rescript on Education like Moritomo was doing. But from what I've seen and heard, the school taught respect and courtesy. Without a doubt, a lot of politicians, including within the LDP and even Nippon Ishin, supported the school's educational philosophy. Therefore, a lot of prefectural officials took notice," Hashimoto said.
Kansai Perspective appears on the fourth Monday of each month, focusing on Kansai-area developments and events of national importance with a Kansai connection.

Fire authorities scramble to establish containment lines around fire on NSW Monaro

Map: Cooma 2630
Rural Fire Service crews hope to have containment lines in place before midday to stop the progress of an out-of-control fire on the Monaro in the New South Wales south east.
The blaze near Shannons Flat Road, 20 kilometres north of Cooma, has burnt more than 1,200 hectares and yesterday it threatened properties on the Billilingra Road.
The deputy incident controller, Pam O'Brien, says it jumped a firebreak on the north-east side, forcing crews to fall back.
But she says they hope cooler and more humid weather will help efforts to contain the fire today.
"Homes that were threatened have been alerted at this stage," Ms O'Brien said.
"However, people in that area need to stay vigilant and they can get updates on the RFS website, on the app, on the iPhone or there is 1800 679 737."
Monaro town helps Vic
Fire-fighters are expected to descend on a southern Monaro town tomorrow as a base camp is set up to fight several large fires across the Victorian – New South Wales border.
The incident controller for the Orbost fires, Ross Williamson, says they hope to have the camp established at Delegate by tomorrow night to house crews from Victoria, New South Wales and even New Zealand.
A watch and act alert has been issued for residents in East Gippsland due to three large bushfires burning in the Snowy River National Park.
Mr Williamson says the location chosen for the camp shows the good co-operation that exists between Victorian and New South Wales fire authorities.
"It's a difficult part of Victoria," he said.
"It's quite remote in terms of getting to it from the Victorian side.
"So it's easier for us to actually run some of these operations out of the New South Wales side and we've got to get past the idea that there's actually a boundary there and think in terms of supplying our needs out of Bombala and those areas. "

Hillary Clinton slams DNC for lack of support during her campaign
Hillary Clinton speaks during the Children's Health Fund annual benefit in New York on May 23, 2017. (Associated Press) **FILE** more >
By Sally Persons - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 31, 2017
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Wednesday the Democratic National Committee gave her "nothing" after she clinched the nomination.
"I set up my campaign and we have our own data operation. I get the nomination. So I'm now the nominee for the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. I mean, it was bankrupt," she said at the Code Conference in California.
"I had to inject money into it to keep it going."
SEE ALSO: Trump blasts Clinton on Twitter: 'Now blames everybody but herself'
But Mrs. Clinton said that she felt the influence of Russia was a major factor, especially on social media, and that fake posts were a huge influence on people's vote.
"The other side was using content that was just flat out false, and delivering it in a very personalized way, both above the radar screen and below," Mrs. Clinton said. "That really influenced the information that people were relying on. And there have been some studies since the election. The vast majority of the news items posted were fake. They were connected to the bots that were just out of control."
When asked if she felt President Trump knew about the Russian influence and the fake posts, she said yes.
"Yes, I'm leaning Trump," she said. "I think it's pretty hard not to."
Mrs. Clinton also said that while her campaign tried to grapple with what was happening, most people felt that her victory was inevitable so the Russia issue could be passed off until after the election.
"I believe that what was happening to me was unprecedented," she said. "I also think I was the victim of a very broad assumption I was going to win. I never believed that. I always believed it was going to be a close election because our elections are always close."
Mrs. Clinton also commented on Mr. Trump's odd tweet that used the word "covfefe," without any context or explanation.
"I thought it was a hidden message to the Russians," she joked.
She also reacted to press secretary Sean Spicer who said that "a small group of people" knew what the president meant.
"The small group classification," she said jokingly. "You don't have enough classification to know what covfefe means."
