DIY Cat5 Speaker Cables
”Why I used this type of construction:
Low inductance: It has been demonstrated that low inductance is a desirable quality to have in a speaker cable due to the strong relationship between inductance and signal risetime. My source for this information was an article in the Winter of 1995 Audio Ideas Guide by a retired Bell Labs engineer named James H. Hayward. His conclusions were, simply put, the lower the inductance, the faster the risetime when using a cable in the amplifier/speaker interface. By using twisted pairs (with each wire within the pair used as opposite polarity), we keep the inductance to a minimum.”

CBC Arts: Budget contains single major arts commitment
”CBC president Robert Rabinovitch said the CBC was "pleased" about the $60 million, but was critical of the fact that the money was yet again granted only as "one-time funding. We are ... unreservedly disappointed that the $60 million has not been made a permanent part of our base appropriation," he said.”
