Wind, water, birds stochastic natural sounds composed of lots of individual random events, all of it very healthy, all of it sound that we evolved to over the years.

When the boat was going up and down the waves, people's voices were rising with prayers.

The Islamist party Ennahdha won 41 per cent of the votes, and gained 89 out of 217 seats at the constituent assembly.

So let me put them all together. And also, I can change the sounds by stepping on this pedal right here, and let me just close out here by doing you a little hambone solo or something like this.

And for me, this sort of deep and enduring fascination with sound is what led me to both be a surgeon and also to study the science of sound, particularly music.

This is a huge problem and a huge obstacle to change because it means that some of the most passionate and informed voices are completely silenced, especially during election time.

Golden Dawn supporters hold flares in Thessaloniki, Greece on election day (May 6) when the party won 7 of the vote.

Since we are such a visual species, it's hard for us to really understand this, so I'll use a mixture of figures and sounds and hope this can communicate it.

Last but not least on today's tour of hijablogs is a great post by Nuseiba, whose blog has the goal of amplifying and shedding light on the myriad of voices and experiences of Muslim women.

The SPS received about the same percentage of the vote as they did in the 2007 Federal election (31.4 in 2007 vs 34.5 in 2011).

It sends out what's called a MIDI signal or a Musical Instrument Digital Interface through these wires into the box and then the computer, which then trigger high quality piano samples like this.

It had deep underwater microphones, or hydrophones, cabled to shore, all wired back to a central place that could listen to sounds over the whole North Atlantic.

Now if this signal is used for males and females to find each other for mating and they're dispersed, imagine the impact this could have on the recovery of endangered populations.

Humpbacks, when they develop the ability to sing this song, they're listening to other whales and modifying what they sing based on what they're hearing, just like song birds or the dolphin whistles I described.

It actually turns out, though, even though we've only known of long range propagation for a few decades, the whales clearly have evolved, over tens of millions of years, a way to exploit this amazing property of the ocean.

The tapes from my TV show weren't very useful because there were too many other kinds of audio involved movie soundtracks, for example, or Gene Siskel arguing with me and my words often had a particular emphasis that didn't fit into a sentence well enough.

Peter Tyack of Woods Hole talks about a hidden wonder of the sea underwater sound. Onstage at Mission Blue, he explains the amazing ways whales use sound and song to communicate across hundreds of miles of ocean.

The first thing that got me interested in the sounds of these underwater animals, whose world was so foreign to me, was evidence from captive dolphins that captive dolphins could imitate human sounds.

A threat to turn from talks to tanks must be credible, which it will not be if an opposing player can simply count votes to see if the necessary legislative majority exists.
