"That reminded me: several years ago I was present at a lecture by Dr. Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki. He spoke quietly when he spoke. Sometimes, as I was telling a friend yesterday evening, a plane would pass overhead. The lecture was in Columbia University and the campus is directly in line with the departure from La Guardia of planes bound for the West. When the weather was good, the windows were opened; a plane passing above drowned out Dr. Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki. Nevertheless, he never raised his voice. never paused, and never informed his listeners of what they missed of the lecture, and no one ever asked him what he had said while the airplanes passed above."

"I lived and studied under the path (where the banking occurs) of the Rwy 13 Approach back then, it was noisy enough to interrupt our teacher every 3 minutes for say 20 seconds. And there was "always" a plane departing in between the 3 minutes interval, although not as noisy as it flew over towards the sea. I also noticed that, the local players, namely Cathay Pacific, usually made the approach path a bit wider and a bit more towards the hill so they can have a longer final and a shallower angle of turn, then the published procedure. Also rememered I can occasionally feel and hear the wake turbulance even from a meduim weight aircraft, from my school playing ground in the good old days...Long live Kai Tak."

Stop 20 seconds for every 3 minutes due to the plane overhead.
In a typical school day of 6 hours (360 minutes), the teacher stopped a total of 40 minutes.
In one school week of 5 days, the teacher stopped a total of 200 minutes or 3.33 hours.
In one month of 21 school days (assuming no public holidays), the teacher stopped for a total of 70 hours.
"In capitalist societies, segmentation of terrestrial space occurs through the private ownership of land as well. This institution allows land speculation in which a parcel of land may not be valued in terms of its present content but rather in terms of future possibilities. Until the price is right, it allows land to be held as though it were empty, and prevent activities and things from being located there. Both private ownership of land and the territorial state contrast with societal view of space in primitive societies. In the primitive view, land is not a thing that can be cut into pieces and sold as parcels. Land is not a piece of space in a larger spatial system. On the contrary, it is seen in terms of spatial relations. The people, as part of nature, are intimately linked to the land. To belong to a territory or place is a social concept which requires first and foremost belonging to a social unit. The land itself is in possession of the group as a whole. It is not privately partitioned and owned. Moreover, it is alive with spirits and history of the people, and places on it are sacred. Such attitudes to place are markedly different from those found in the industrialized West and have led to misunderstandings between the two societies, as in the 'clouded titles' by which white man has claimed the land of the savages."
