Although it never got released, the track "Wine Glasses" was incorporated into the beginning synth-like sound that opens "Shine on your crazy diamond".

• The Segway is officially done. Selling that is.
• Malala Yousafzai, the woman who at age 15 was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for the education of girls in Pakistan in 2012, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, has graduated from Oxford University with a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
