THE WORLD AND WIKIPEDIA: HOW WE ARE EDITING REALITY By Andrew Dalby (Siduri Books, Pounds 14.99) IT IS now four years since Wikipedia surpassed 18th-century China's Siku Quanshu to become the largest compendium of knowledge ever known.

O 2 tha Z Swansea Grand Theatre DANCE seems to have been dominating the local performing arts scene in recent weeks, and this spirited production from Makers of Dance Energy -- otherwise known as Mode -- saw a large and dedicated company of young people put on an inventive reworking of the Wizard of Oz.
The story saw singer/songwriter Dottie Gale (Liane Davies) embarking on a quest to the big city in order to forge a recording career with major recording label Emerald Records -- along the way she meets up with Lee Raw (Jo Harries), celebrity stylist SB Crow (Jess Maliphant) and DJ Tin (Dan Estall), all of whom have their own agendas but who aid Dottie in her fight against the scheming Winona West (Naomi Jenkins), who has stolen Dottie's demo tape and claims it as her own.

With the grass greening up and ready to grow, lawn mowers will be out in force in gardens, and farmers will be anxiously watching their stock and crops hoping for a spell of warm weather to put the soil in production mode.
