Your voice is indistinguishable from how other people see you, but your relationship with it is far from obvious.
Rébecca Kleinberger studies how we use and understand our voices and the voices of others. She explains why you may not like the sound of your own voice on recordings and the extraordinary things you communicate without being aware of it.

Your mobile device reception is getting worse. In an era where smartphones, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, are extensions of our daily lives, the invisible infrastructure supporting their connectivity—cellphone spectrum—is facing a critical shortage. The exponential growth in wireless devices and our insatiable demand for faster, more reliable connections has led to a scarcity of available spectrum. This shortage has important implications for the future of telecommunications.
To understand why there’s no more cellphone spectrum available, we must examine the complexities of spectrum allocation, usage, and the challenges faced by the telecommunications industry. But first, see the results of a J.D. Power user report completed this year.
On average, between April and June of 2023, U.S. cellphone users reported that out of every 100 times they tried to use data, text, or make a call, they had problems 11 times. That’s up from about nine problems per 100 connections in most of 2020 and 2021.
Reason: Demand Explosion – Finite Spectrum – The Future….
For Bethany Baptiste, Molly X Chang, KM Enright, Thea Guanzon, Danielle L Jensen, Akure Phénix, RM Virtues and Frances White, it must have been brutal reading. All received scathing reviews on Goodreads, an online platform that reputedly has the power to make or break new authors.
But the verdicts were not delivered by an esteemed literary critic. They were the work of Cait Corrain, a debut author who used fake accounts to “review bomb” her perceived rivals. The literary scandal led to Corrain posting an apology, being dropped by her agent and having her book deal cancelled.
It also uncovered deeper questions about Goodreads, arguably the most popular site on which readers post book reviews, and its outsized impact on the publishing industry. Its members had produced 26m book reviews and 300m ratings over the past year, the site reported in October. But for some authors, it has become a toxic work environment that can sink a book before it is even published.

Shuffled by sharks and snuck in by spies, this deck has been the standard American since 1881
Of the roughly 94,000 U.S. soldiers who became prisoners of war in Germany during World War II, an especially unfortunate several hundred wound up in a camp called Oflag IV-C, better known as Colditz Castle, a 12th-century stone fortress built atop a 250-foot cliff in Saxony. The Germans believed that escape from Colditz was impossible.
But it was possible, thanks to Bicycle playing cards.
Unbeknownst to the Wehrmacht, the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (precursor to the CIA) and British Special Operations Executive had secretly commissioned the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) to create top-secret Bicycle-brand decks—spirited in by the Red Cross—where the cards could be peeled apart to reveal miniature maps of Germany.
