I've done a runner to England. I'll leave some food for thought:

• The Sounds of Silence - forensics on the 1972 Watergate Nixon tapes 
• The Sound of Absence: Ausência
• Men do report; women do rapport. So men use The [definite article] more often
• Read the piece? It's a bit quicker than listening
• Jayadev Athreya talks about paths on the dodecahedron
• Pub-quiz ekkers: what is the longest river on Earth? It depends what you mean by . . .
