Hi Kevin, You read these proverbs very well!

The little pause you put between each proverb was perfectly timed -- just a moment to let you stop and think and then on to another nugget of common "wisdom." I think many listeners will come back to listen to this over again. It's a very thoughtful piece.

PL OK!

I'll try to find some published wisdom from Wisconsin---my home. It will likely involve cows and cheese.

"Even the cow defends herself with her tail." Yugoslav proverb.

Hahah! That's one I didn't quite understand.

Nothing off color! A rhythmic, continual swish of the cow's tail from side to side to keep the flies off.

Hi Brother Michael, Welcome to LibriVox and to the Short Nonfiction Collection!

McIvor-Tyndall is a new author for the LibriVox catalog. Thanks for that!

McIvor-Tyndall's description of "ghosts" as being illusions "that must vanish before the light of understanding" has a very modern feel, despite being written in 1906. "Worry, Doubt, Fear, Regret, and Custom are ghosts..." His comparison of his own beliefs to those of Ibsen added depth to the essay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosts_(play)

I am marking your reading PL OK!

You're doing quite well just starting out recording for LibriVox, when there's so much to learn. The only suggestion I would have for this recording is that you might want to cut out the loud "crash/thump" that explodes between 1:10:30 and 1:10.370 in the recording. This is easy to do. With the wave form visible on Audacity, if you highlight the approximate boundaries of this extraneous sound (the wave form will look "jagged") and then press "z" on your keyboard, Audacity will show you the full extent of this bit of incursive sound, and then you can delete it without disturbing the flow of text. If you want to try this cut, great, but it's not obligatory.

Thanks for contributing to volume 103!

Thanks for the tip. I corrected it as best as I could and have reuploaded it. Think I was able to get almost all of it.

Epping Forest lies to the north east of London and is classed as ancient woodland and its existence can be traced back to Neolithic times.

My recording covers some of the forest’s long history and how it was saved (after massive protests) from total destruction in the 19th century and kept as a public amenity in perpetuity.

Title of the work: Guide To Epping Forest (1896)

Author of the work: Ernest Richard Suffling (1855-1911)

Hi Availle, Thanks for your contribution to vol. 103!

I gather from Wikipedia that Fermat's Last Theorem has now been solved? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat%27s_Last_Theorem#:~:text=By%20accomplishing%20a%20partial%20proof,known%20as%20the%20modularity%20theorem

I've marked your selection PL OK!

There was only one tiny slip where you read an "e" as a "c," which didn't cause anywhere the amount of trouble in English as I imagine it would in a mathematical equation. However, if you want your reading to be word perfect, the slip occurs in the first paragraph at 1.00.10. Text here reads: ..."and the ease with which the skillful mathematics teachers often cleared what appeared to be great difficulties to the students ..." You said "case."

Thanks for the PLing, Sue. I'll consider making the change, I'm definitely OCD enough for that.

Yes, Fermat's Theorem has been proved by Andrew Wiles in 1993, and he promptly (and deservedly) got famous for it. He worked on it for 10+ years, solo and without telling anybody to boot, which is extraordinary these days. He brought parts of mathematics under one roof that were formerly thought to have nothing to do with each other; he considers this his legacy.
