“The Story of My Life” 1905 | Helen Keller

Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, a small town in northern Alabama.

  • “I am just as deaf as I am blind. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important than those of blindness.”
  • “The highest result of education is tolerance.”
  • “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.”
  • “The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me.”
  • “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
  • “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
  • “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.”
  • “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
  • “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
  • “The only way to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by.”

At the Library

West Virginia University is integrated with the city of Morgantown in a way that shares some strong similarities with many European universities, though not identically in every aspect.

Many classic European universities (e.g., in cities like Oxford, Cambridge, Bologna, Paris/Sorbonne, Heidelberg, or Utrecht) are deeply embedded in their urban fabric. Buildings are often scattered throughout the historic city center, with lecture halls, libraries, and administrative spaces intermixed among shops, residences, cafes, and public streets rather than being confined to a walled-off or peripheral “campus.”

In Morgantown the university and city feel like one continuous, walkable entity — the institution essentially helped shape or co-evolved with the town over centuries, creating a seamless “town-gown” blend where university life spills directly into city life and vice versa.

Overall, Morgantown is widely regarded as a quintessential American college town with very strong university-city integration — especially around the Downtown Campus — and it mirrors the European pattern more closely than many sprawling, isolated U.S. flagship campuses (e.g., those in big suburban or rural settings like Purdue, Ohio State, or Texas A&M). The relationship is symbiotic and visible in daily life, with the university embedded in the city's identity and physical layout.

Chris Williamson interviews Mads Larsen about declining birth rates

Chris Williamson Podcast:
Mads Larsen is an author and journalist whose research focuses on the history of human mating ideologies. The truth can be a tough pill to swallow, but when it comes to saving humanity, even the hardest truth is better than the softest lie. So why is Mads facing outrage for speaking a truth that could save a country? Expect to learn why Mads was cancelled for talking about Norway’s declining birth rates, the key reasons why people aren’t having more kids, the underlying psychology behind modern mating, the potential interventions to fix this and much more…

“Abide with Me”

 

 

Henry Francis Lyte  1847

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terror, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

History of Western Civilization Told Through the Acoustics of its Worship Spaces

Audio Standards

“A Dance to the Music of Time” 1640 Nicolas Poussin

 

 

“The voice of the intellect is a soft one,

but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.”

— Sigmund Freud

 

The education industry provides a large market for occupancy classes — athletic stadiums, student assembly spaces, performance theaters, large lecture halls– that depend upon effective audio systems*.   To an unexpected degree the structural engineering, specification of materials and electrical system design and operation is informed by acoustical considerations.  So does the integration of fire safety and mass notification systems into normal state enterprises so it is wise to follow and, ideally, participate in leading practice discovery and promulgation of audio standards.

The Audio Engineering Society — one of the first names in this space — has a due process platform that welcomes public participation.   All of its standards open for public comment completed their revision cycle mid-November as can be seen on its standards development landing page below:

AES Standards Development

Note that AES permits access to those revision even after the comment deadline.  You are encouraged to communicate directly with the Direct communication with the standards staff at Audio Engineering Society International Headquarters, 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1225, New York NY 10176,  Tel: +1 212 661 8528

We keep the AES suite on the standing agenda of our periodic Lively Arts teleconference.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting.

This facility class is one of most complex occupancy classes in education facilities industry so we also collaborate with experts active in the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee. Much of the AES suite references, and borrows from, International Electrotechnical Commission system integration and interoperability standards.   The IEEE E&H committee meets online again four times monthly in European and American time zones.  The meeting dates are available on the IEEE E&H website

*Mass notification systems are governed by NFPA 72 and, while life safety wiring is separate from other wiring, the management of these systems involve coordination between workgroups with different business objectives and training.
