“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.”

We have started construction on the expanded Momentum One Zero innovation centre, our business-led facility focused on #cybersecurity, #ArtificialIntelligence and #wireless technologies.
Delivered as part of the £70 million Belfast Region City Deal investment, @QUBMomentum10 will act as a focal point for industry-led digital innovation, supporting collaboration across sectors including health, agri-food, financial services, sustainability, and advanced manufacturing.
We were joined on site by key representatives from government, civic, academic, and industry to cut the sod at Belfast’s Titanic Quarter.
“Momentum One Zero is a clear example of how Queen’s is turning research excellence into economic impact. This expansion reflects the scale of ambition we have for digital innovation in #NorthernIreland — supporting high-value jobs, strengthening our skills base, and ensuring that businesses here can compete and lead on a global stage.” (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor)

Standards West Virginia | 2024 Net Position $2.586B (Page 26) | Master Plans
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.

The word “fecund” comes from the Latin word “fecundus,” which means fertile or fruitful. Historically, it has been used to describe land, animals, or people that are capable of producing abundant offspring or vegetation.
The term conveys a sense of richness and productivity, often associated with fertility and the ability to generate new life or growth. In a broader sense, it can also be applied metaphorically to describe creative or intellectual productivity.

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…
