The Acoustics of Eavesdropping
Where not to have a private conversation.
Excerpted from The Sound Book: The Science of the Sonic Wonders of the World by Trevor Cox, out now from W.W. Norton & Company.
In 1824, naval officer Edward Boid described how a curve can dramatically amplify sound, and not always for the best. He wrote, "In the Cathedral of Girgenti, in Sicily, the slightest whisper is borne with perfect distinctness from the great western door to the cornice behind the high altar—a distance of two hundred and fifty feet." Unfortunately, the confessional was badly sited: "Secrets never intended for the public ear thus became known, to the dismay of the confessors, and the scandal of the people ... till at length, one listener having had his curiosity somewhat over-gratified by hearing his wife's avowal of her own infidelity, this tell-tale peculiarity became generally known, and the confessional was removed."
For centuries, people have known that curved surfaces amplify sounds and allow covert listening. Athanasius Kircher, who wrote extensively on echoes, gave a good explanation in the 17th century. His publications also document some fantastical devices, including giant ear trumpets built into the walls of royal chambers for eavesdropping. Probably his most famous—or infamous—device is the Katzenklavier (literally, "cat piano"). It has a normal piano keyboard in front of a line of cages, each of which has a cat trapped inside. Every time a piano key is pressed, a nail is driven into the tail of one unfortunate feline, which naturally screeches. With the right set of cats, ones that shriek at different frequencies, a sadistic musician could play a tune on the instrument.
The sound would have been excruciating, but then it was designed to shock psychiatric patients into changing their behavior, rather than being a genuine instrument for playing Monteverdi or Purcell. Fortunately, it is unlikely that it was ever built.
At this point you might be doubting the sanity and rationality of Kircher. Yet he drew diagrams that illustrated a good scientific understanding of how an elliptical ceiling can enhance communication between two people.
The lines in the diagram show the paths that sound "rays" take when going from the speaker to the listener. These ray paths can be worked out using a ruler and protractor. Alternatively, by treating the room as a weird-shaped pool table, the paths can be worked out by following the line a cue ball would take (ignoring gravity). If the cue ball is placed at the speaker's mouth and fired toward the ceiling, it will always go to the listener. So all the sound going upward is focused at the listener, allowing even quiet whispers to be heard across a large room.
The problem with Kircher's design is that the listener and speaker have to stand in particular places—the foci of the ceiling ellipse. The design is not very useful if one person wants to talk to an audience of listeners scattered around the room.
A few years ago I presented two science shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London to thousands of children. Though better known as a music venue, the hall is actually dedicated to the promotion of art and science, and it was built on land purchased with the profits of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Fortunately, the acoustics have been significantly improved since the hall opened 130 years ago. Indeed, the Prince of Wales struggled with his opening speech. According to the Times of London in 1871:
The address was slowly and distinctly read by his royal Highness, but the reading was somewhat marred by an echo which seemed to be suddenly awoke from the organ or picture gallery, and repeated the words with a mocking emphasis which at another time would have been amusing.
The hall's ubiquitous curved surfaces are probably what caused the mocking echoes. From above, the floor plan appears as an ellipse, and the whole structure is topped with a large dome. The curved surfaces focus sound like Kircher's elliptical ceiling. But how such reflections are perceived depends on the size of the room. In the vast Royal Albert Hall, the curves cause disastrous echoes. Sound appears to come from several places in the room and not just the stage. In a small room the focused sound arrives quickly; in a larger room the reflections are delayed.
The way the brain combines sounds is important, because otherwise we would rapidly become overwhelmed by the vast number of reflections that accompany us. As I type this sentence, the rattle of the keyboard is being reflected off the desk, the computer monitor, my phone, the ceiling, and so on. Yet my hearing is not overwhelmed by all these different reflections; the sound still appears to be coming straight from the keyboard as it should be.
The same thing happens in Kircher's small room. The reflections from the elliptical ceiling arrive quite quickly, and unless the reflections are very loud, the brain does not hear them as separate from sound traveling directly between talker and listener. By contrast, the Royal Albert Hall is so vast that the focused reflections arrive much later, creating "mocking" echoes.
* * *
The renovation of the U.S. Capitol in the 19th century in Washington ruined a fine ceiling echo from a famous whispering dome. The Capitol's dome used to be an almost perfect hemisphere centered at the head height of visitors, and although the ceiling appeared coffered with indented squares, it was actually smooth, with trompe l'oeil painting creating the illusion of structure and texture. Before 1901, this domed space was a great draw for tourists. According to the New York Times in 1894:
The whispering gallery still holds the palm among the show places of the great marble structure. Once in a while an old resident of Washington is initiated into the mysteries of the echoes and other acoustic phenomena which abound in this old-time chamber, and he feels a little ashamed of his tardiness in seeking this remarkable entertainment.

Dorothy Johnson and Don Prather lit the five Advent candles of Christ, preparation, love, joy and hope.
Bro. John's sermon was on Luke 2: 21-35 — "The Word Made Flesh."
When Joseph and Mary came to the temple to offer sacrifice, they didn't realize they had the real sacrifice in their little child, Jesus.
Simeon had faith as an old man that God would let him see the Lord Christ. When Mary and Joseph came to the temple, Simeon, through the Spirit, knew he was the Christ.
Thanks to Bro. Jesse Bourne for sharing from Joshua 3 Sunday on the Israelites crossing Jordan into the promised land. We saw that they were obedient to God as they followed Joshua's instructions to walk into the flooding river. They did not know what to expect but they knew God was with them. As we enter this new year we do not know what life will bring; but if we are Christians and are obedient to Christ, we can be certain that He will guide us in every situation.
For the second-consecutive week, a Runnin' Rebel has been named NCKC Player of the Week.
Sophomore guard Zach Ripy scored 27 points in two conference wins over Trimble County and Carroll County
Ripy shot over 50 percent from the floor while handing out seven assists with six steals.
If the Owen County Rebels fell asleep before midnight on New Year's Eve, it would be hard to blame them.
The team had just finished four games in three days that led to their winning the Shirley Kearns Invitational at Model Laboratory High School in Richmond.
Owen County opened up pool play Dec. 28 against Clinton County.
The Rebels got off to a good start before allowing the Bulldogs to get back in the game. In the end, the Rebels prevailed with a 65-56 win.
Three Owen County football players have been named to the second-annual Offense-Defense Youth All-American Bowl.
Sixth-graders David Gray and Jordan Willhoite, along with fourth-grader Jason Gray, joined dozens of other outstanding players in their age group in an east meets west nationwide clash, part of a week-long series of events leading up to the nationally-televised, fifth-annual Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, an all-star football game of similar format showcasing 80 of the top high-school seniors in the country.
While most were returning unwanted sweaters at the mall last week, the Owen County Lady Rebels were playing some of their best basketball of the season.
Last week, the team spent three days in Shelby County taking part in the Max Performance Invitational.
After falling in their opener against Male High School, the Lady Rebels cruised to a pair of victories over Shelby County and Bishop Brossart.
Owen County began the week with a match-up against the Lady Bulldogs from Male. The game was tight for three quarters.
It was the week after Christmas, not the night before, and I was the mother of grown children, not a child. Still, I lay awake in the second floor bedroom of my childhood home listening to the noises an old house will make in the dark. My father had died earlier in the day. Yet I heard his hand on the back-porch door, his footstep on the basement stairs, his movement in the kitchen. Rain gusted against the dormer windows and sleep would not come. Ghosts live only in stories I told myself.
As the first decade of the new millennium winds down, Owen County finds itself at a crossroads.
With a shifting economy, a changing political scene and a new direction in local education, Owen countians are looking at the future while keeping an eye on preserving the past and the community's rich heritage.
The News-Herald looks back at 2010:
Jan. 6: Jokes were made, tears were shed and stories were told Dec. 30 at Owenton First Christian Church when pastor Bill Watson and his wife, Brenda, sat before a crowd of friends and well-wishers.
Owen County once again enjoyed a successful year on the field of play. Whether it was a football field, a basketball court, a soccer pitch, a golf course, a baseball diamond or a cross-country course, the Rebels once again made their mark.
Beginning in February both the boys' and girls' basketball teams reached 31st District championship games.
For the third-straight season, the girls cut down the nets as they defeated Carroll County.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/01/13 -- Energy Future Holdings' subsidiary, TXU Energy, hangs its hat on delivering superior customer service to millions of residential and business customers. Customers hit the TXU.com portal to the tune of 37,000 site visits per day for managing their accounts, paying bills and gathering pertinent information about their energy usage. The information helps customers make smart decisions around energy cost and consumption. It is a vital shop window for the company.
It's critical that TXU.com has high availability. Long website response times drive customers and prospects to call centers, which racks up labor costs and reduces website loyalty. The company maintains SAP Utilities Industry Solution and SAP CRM coupled with a .NET-based Web infrastructure so customer and call-center agent-facing services depend on multiple back-end components to provide information and process transactions.
"[Website] data is being pulled from our back office systems. We have a lot of data transiting between these systems and website users in real time. Performance management across all these systems is critical to supporting end-user experience which is measured in seconds," said Paul Reyes, Director of IT Data Center Services at Energy Future Holdings.
As with many large companies, prior to Precise, the IT organization was using several point solutions for performance visibility into its multi-technology environment consisting of SAP, internally-built Web apps, Oracle, various operating systems, servers and the network. This "horizontal" layer approach to systems management provided volumes of data, but trying to correlate events to identify a root cause was difficult and ultimately blocked the timely issue resolution of IT issues.
Paul Reyes recalled, "The challenge was that we had 25 severity 1 issues per quarter and overall availability of a little less than 99%. Working with Precise helped infrastructure and applications teams jointly solve those major production issues. We went down to 4 severity 1 issues per quarter and availability went up to 99.85%."
Precise dashboards visualize performance of multiple systems within Energy Future Holdings' companies, providing views specialized to multiple teams' perspectives.
"We use Precise as a dashboard into performance monitoring. We have applications teams and other teams use Precise as a front-end view into what's happening with their applications. So when there's an issue affecting SLAs we drill down into central SLAs and examine performance over specific time periods, the user experience -- even down to the specific user. It allows us to provide that visibility to the team so when a DBA wants to identify and address a system challenge, they have a rich data set to start with."
Today companies including British Telecom, Ziggo and Symantec use Precise to deliver performance intelligence on critical business systems globally.
About Precise
Precise application performance management makes complex, multi-tier systems transparent so users can quickly resolve today's problems and make evidence-based plans to meet tomorrow's performance needs. Precise exposes performance information across entire business transactions, from user to storage, across physical and virtual environments, for major packaged applications and custom application architectures.

Masters event showcases skills of high-speed chefs
March 14, 2013
FORT LEE, Va. (March 14, 2013) -- Staff Sgt. Billy Daugette has nothing to prove. The 28-year-old has accomplished much in his short career, and some of those milestones wander into the territory of he cooking world's very best. He's an American Culinary Federation-certified chef; winner of the 2011 Armed Forces Chef of the Year title; and enlisted aide for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
So why did he feel compelled to compete in the Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event?
Without hesitation or consideration, he replies: "The goal is to try and push yourself, and if I can pull it off, it'll be time for me to move on and start giving back to the younger troops."
Translation: accomplishments lend an unparalleled amount of credibility to his resume.
Now, Daugette has another achievement to add to his list of accomplishments. He earned a gold medal in the inaugural master's category, created for those who are past winners of the AFCOY and those who still get a kick out whipping up four-course meals. Daugette expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to compete.
"It is pretty unique because you're going up against three other chefs who've all won," he said, "so the competition is real tight, and the expectations are really high."
Daugette's competitors were Chief Petty Officer Michael Edwards of Team Hawaii, Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Spiess of Fort Stewart, Ga., and Sgt. 1st Class Steven Behr, an independent competitor. The four contestants were given one hours to prepare a meal using duck and allowed to be as creative as they wished.
Spiess, the 2010 AFCOY titlist and another gold medal winner, said he prepared duck breast and "stuffed it with cream and herbs." He added a sweet potato gratin and a honey, lemon and butter wine sauce. After the competition, he was confident that he had performed well against Daugette.
"He had more components on his plate, but I think I was more organized," he said. "I tried to keep it simple and flavorful."
Spiess clearly had his mind on conquering the other competitors.
"It's in my blood," he said. "My family's competitive -- sports, cooking -- we're just competitive, and I hate losing."
The Fort Stewart, Ga., Soldier also wanted to stay on top of his culinary game and share his competencies with his fellow teammates who are competing in a number of categories including Culinary Team of the Year.
"I'm just trying to give back what was given to me," he said.
So was Daugette. Competing in the master's competition with a sense of charity, he knows he wouldn't be there if it weren't for others.
"I've been fortunate to work with great chefs in the military," he said. "They've pushed me, and I've been exposed to a lot. I've competed quite a few times here, and the competition has helped me to get better, better and better."
To round out the competition, Edwards was awarded a silver medal and Behr, a last minute entry, earned bronze.
The winner of the master's category is scheduled to be announced Friday during the awards ceremony.

Animation: How the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Will Look
During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.

His excuse for not watching LO is that he wants to get out of the house too, but he's always out! Between hanging out at the firehouse, b.s. fire calls and going for long cig runs he's barely home!

Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Question from zeagruxi
What is next?
I have beaten the dinasours and got back into the cave with the waterfall and i have the cog that slows the waterfall so I can get into the underwater cave now that the water has slowed down enough to be able to swim into it. Is this the end of the game.? I have thoroughly explored the caves and the dinasour land and under water areas and collected everything that i could find. I have gone back and forth over every area several times, is this all there is to the game? What comes after you get that last piece in the under water cave that you had to slow the waterfall down for? I can't see where to go. Shouldn't you have to meet up with the lady that sent you on this quest in the first place or is there somewhere else to go and where is that? The game didn't end or anything but I do not know what is supposed to come next. Does anybody have any information to help me move further if there is a further?

For me, every time I walk into a bathroom, and see it shining away, it makes me so happy! It has lifted such a burden for me. I've noticed that I don't care at all if my kitchen sink is shiny or my kitchen is perfect - I only care that it isn't a wreck and that no germy messes are festering. So if I wake up in the morning and there are two dishes in the sink, I'm still happy and cheerful. But if I walk into the bathroom and see any sort of mess, I descend into the depths of depression. I could NEVER have recognized this without the swish and swipe. I make sure I swish and swipe regularly, my bathrooms are never dirty and are usually shining. It makes all the housework I have to do completely bearable! I feel so much better now.
What about you? What is your favorite thing about FlyLady's system?

Miss Betty Boop...B&W sex idol. Tried to make Betty still look like her cartoon self,but more realistic. She also came out kind of tall looking....but she looks cute. Little known fact: In Betty's 1st color film, she had red hair and blue eyes
This is SOOOO COOL! I love the realistic but cartoony feel! Stellar pencil work as always!
I love this. Great work.
Cute pic, Britt. A great combination of old school innocence and 21st century sexuality. Boop-Boop-Be-Doop!
She looks cute, can see the old school Betty in the more realistic version.
Thank youBetty always had that worried look on her face,like a little puppy...but I guess that makes sense since was originally a dog.

Hey everyone. Bought a 92 wrangler for $1500. Had to do some work to it, but have caught a snag. The speedometer does not work. Ever other guage works besides it. I was thinking it may be a fuse but it is missing the fuse box cover with diagram. Can someone tell me if there is a fuse for this guage?
the speedo wouldn't be a fuse, check the connection on the transfer case, or take the speedo out and check the board on the back to see if its intact.

Many state employees have been relocated because of the Waterbury complex closing. Im a state employee. I worked at the Waterbury complex, and I was relocated to Essex. Thankfully, I commute to Essex in a vanpool. Do I like traveling farther to work? No. Do I enjoy trying to find the easiest way to get to Essex because of construction? No.
Some state employees are upset because they dont want to work in Barre. I live in Barre, and I would love to work in Barre, enjoy everything the city has to offer two museums, a library, a bookstore and many nice stores to shop. Also, we have great restaurants.
I understand that working in cubicles wont be easy, but when state employees move back to Waterbury, we will be in cubicles. But, we will also be in Waterbury, and we can appreciate all that Waterbury has to offer a library, a bookstore and many other stores to shop.
We are state employees working to serve Vermonters. Lets do our jobs and appreciate that we have a job.

3 Stocks Moving The Telecommunications Industry Upward
SK Telecom ( SKM) is up $1.27 (6.58) to $20.58 on average volume Thus far, 854,984 shares of SK Telecom exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 1.6 million shares. The stock has ranged in price between $20.38-$20.67 after having opened the day at $20.38 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $19.31. SK Telecom Co., Ltd. provides wireless telecommunications services principally in Korea. SK Telecom has a market cap of $12.2 billion and is part of the technology sector. The company has a P/E ratio of 9.2, below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Shares are up 22.0% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. Currently there are 2 analysts that rate SK Telecom a buy, 1 analyst rates it a sell, and none rate it a hold. TheStreet Ratings rates SK Telecom as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its attractive valuation levels, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Get the full SK Telecom Ratings Report now. Exclusive Offer: Jim Cramer's 'go-to' small/mid-cap guru Bryan Ashenberg only buys stocks he thinks could return 50-100%. See his top picks for 14-days FREE. If you are interested in one of these 3 stocks, ETFs may be of interest. Investors who are bullish on the telecommunications industry could consider iShares Dow Jones US Telecom ( IYZ) while those bearish on the telecommunications industry could consider ProShares Ult Sht Telecommunication ( TLL).

Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency).

The charges for the 2015–2016 academic year are as follows (assuming the maximum board plan):
|Student Body Fee
|Board (16 meal plan)
Personal and book expenses (approximately $2,200) are paid directly by the student and will not be billed through the Harvey Mudd College student account billing system.
Health Insurance
All continuing students or newly matriculated students are required to have health insurance coverage. You will be automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (PDF) unless proof of comparable coverage is provided and a waiver is submitted by deadline date. The fee for coverage from August 30, 2015 to August 29, 2016 is $1,911.
Questions regarding health insurance should be directed to the dean of students office at 909.621.8125 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fees and Refunds
All charges (tuition, room, board, fees and deposits) must be paid in cash ($U.S.), by checks drawn on American or Canadian banks, or money order (international, if appropriate).
Payment Plan Fee
The Monthly Payment Plan is subject to a $50 service charge per semester. There is no fee for the Full Payment Plan.
Following are fees and deposits for which arrangement for payment must be made prior to the service.
Transcript Fee
A fee of $5 is charged for each official transcript. There is no charge for an unofficial transcript. Transcripts are issued only when obligations to the college have been paid in full or satisfactory arrangements have been made to do so. A transcript is sent out only at a student's request.
Housing Deposit
Half ($150) of first-year students' enrollment deposit ($300) is automatically converted to a housing damage deposit that is returned to students when they graduate or permanently leave the College. Each year, residence hall damage charges are deducted from the deposit and students are billed to return the deposit to $150. The other half of the enrollment deposit ($150) becomes a housing deposit that becomes a credit on a student's first bill. The enrollment deposit is non-refundable, and therefore the damage and housing deposits are non-refundable for new students who decide not to attend Harvey Mudd.
Room Draw Deposit/Returning Students
Deposits are no longer required for participation in Room Draw for the 2015–16 academic year.

Delinquent Accounts
Every Harvey Mudd student is responsible for meeting promptly any payment due to the College. The total charges on a student account for each semester, less financial aid, is the minimum amount due prior to the beginning of each semester per the due date on the Harvey Mudd College statement. A student account not meeting this requirement is considered delinquent.
A student whose account is delinquent is subject to a late fee charge of one percent of the delinquent amount. Students may be barred from classes and the dining hall or disenrolled. A student must pay in full the charges for any semester before he/she is allowed to register for the subsequent semester. Any student leaving Harvey Mudd with an unpaid financial obligation cannot be given a transcript of grades until settlement is made.

If you value the good pointing, color handling, spring, and smooth application of natural sable with the durability and value of synthetic brushes, the Sapphire line is for you.
Handmade of a blend of the finest red Kolinsky hair and synthetic filaments, Sapphire brushes can be used with all media. They feature kiln-dried beechwood handles and precision engineered 22K gold-plated ferrules.
Long handles are recommended for easel style painting, while short handles are recommended for table-top painting where the artwork lies flat, especially with water media. Sapphire is available in a variety of classic brush shapes with both long and short handles.
Shader — With short hair, and slightly stiffer than a Flat, the Shader is a short handle version of the Bright. Short handles provide more control for painting on flat surfaces, as with watercolor and water media.

hey ladies - can anyone share with me their genetic councilling stories?
I'm 37 and 16 weeks with my second. The NT Scan at 12 weeks came back very positive (risk level of a 20 year old) and we have no family history of birth defects.
I called to make my 20 week screening at the Maternal Fetal Medicine group and the lady advised me it was a 2 hour appt. First I meet with the Genetic Councilor and then the ultrasound. I asked what the GC was for and she said to go over risks, family history, and testing available.
um yikes. IĀcalled back to confirm this and yes. GC first and thenĀu/s. she did say that theĀDrĀdruing the u/s wouldĀtell me the findings of the u/s there and what they thoughts are for anyĀfurther testing they'd recommend.
i'mĀjust worried about the 'what ifs' and if I should elect out of the GC part. (note: no, I don't thinkĀthey scare you just so you do extraĀtesting...butĀstill). ĀĀ

Army for Hire
Two new books on the global market for armed force.
A piece of popular wisdom passed around by contractors working in Iraq says, "You know you've been in Baghdad too long when hearing Afrikaans at the pool is normal."
That observation speaks to the outsize presence of South Africans in Iraq's wartime contracting boom. Security costs have soaked up a massive chunk of Iraq reconstruction funds, and former South African soldiers and police, often veterans of the country's apartheid-era border wars, have found their skills in high demand.
Exact numbers are hard to come by, but an estimated 2,000 to 4,000 South African expatriates are in Iraq, a sizeable number of whom work as armed guards. Several South African-based or -dominated security companies such as Reed, Safenet, and Omega Risk Solutions are registered with the Iraqi ministry of the interior.
But that bubble may soon burst. The South African parliament is pressing ahead with new legislation, the Prohibition of Mercenary Activity Bill, which would tighten oversight of South African citizens and residents who work in war zones.
The repercussions are already being felt. Erinys, a U.K.-based security firm that does work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, pre-emptively dropped over 100 South Africans from its payroll; other companies are waiting see how sweeping the final law may be. (Aid groups are also concerned that the bill might restrict South Africans from performing humanitarian work in other countries.)
Iraq is only one reason for the new law. The official summary of the anti-mercenary bill also states another rationale: the involvement of a number of South African citizens in an alleged plot to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea. For most U.S. newspaper readers, the Equatorial Guinea "coup plot" may spark only the faintest glimmer of recognition, but it caused a media furor in the United Kingdom, in large part because it involved Margaret Thatcher's son.
The story in brief: In March 2004, Zimbabwean authorities detained a planeload of men from South Africa. The men claimed they were on their way to guard a mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but the government of Equatorial Guinea soon after announced that they were involved in a coup attempt against President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo; several more men supposedly connected to the plot were arrested in Equatorial Guinea.
It all came down to control of Equatorial Guinea's oil. In his well-researched new book, The Wonga Coup: Guns, Thugs and a Ruthless Determination To Create Mayhem in an Oil-Rich Corner of Africa, Economist correspondent Adam Roberts describes how the purported plotters of "assisted regime change" in Equatorial Guinea stood to win control of one of the richest patches of oil and gas in Africa.
Simon Mann, the alleged leader of the coup attempt, is still cooling his heels in a Harare prison. Roberts traces Mann's ties to Executive Outcomes, a corporate army based in South Africa that won a reputation in the mid-1990s for security work in war-torn (and resource-rich) places like Angola and Sierra Leone. Mann, as Roberts describes him, "was as likely to wear a crumpled business suit and rimless spectacles as camouflage or chest webbing. He was an early example of a new sort of mercenary, the type as familiar with company law, bank transfers and investor agreements as with the workings of a Browning pistol."
Educated at Eton and Sandhurst and heir to a brewing fortune, Mann seemed perfectly cast for the role of white mischief in Africa. (After his detention in Zimbabwe, he appealed to his backers to come through with a "splodge of wonga," English schoolboy slang for a bundle of cash.) His story was also one of colossal arrogance. In Roberts' account, Mann led plotters to believe that they could combine an arms buy in Zimbabwe, a newly acquired Boeing 727, and an exiled politician to depose Equatorial Guinea's president—and make a splodge of wonga in the process.

What makes a park a park? Ordinarily, that might be a question for a New York dinner party. Today, it is an urgent legal question before the New York Court of Appeals. As a Villager, I'm naturally concerned that any of our local parks could be wiped out to make way for more construction. Overall, our city is park-starved.
I thought about it long and hard and after many sleepless nights I firmly believe playgrounds are kids' business. Solving issues for them makes them less competent and more dependent on me I won't be able to save her from a douche of a boss, or clients who always have to be right, but I can prepare her for life with these seemingly small victories and losses.
