Along one of the paths I frequently walk, there are several exercise stations that consist of some piece of equipment--in this case, an inclined, playground-like board--and exercise directions. There are two things I notice every time I see a sign. The larger text--it looks like Helvetica Neue Black or some sort of Helvetica Black to me--has held up well over time where the directions themselves, set in what appears to be some form of Garamond (my best guess is Garamond 3 by Linotype), have worn away where the glyphs are thinner. Over time the serifs and substantial portions of letters are gone. It's still readable for the most part, but it's not pretty. This is, in a phrase, why typography matters.

For the challenge Words Hatch.
Lyrics. It almost doesn't matter the genre, give me lyrics that speak to me, and I'm hooked. This is one of my favorite songs. I spoke a verse of it at my dad's funeral.
Who knows who it is?!
PS: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to listen to this album this morning and drone out some of the pinging I often get at work from Teams. :-)
People living in informal settlements (i.e. slums) often pay 5-10 times more per liter of water than wealthy people living in the same city.

Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. -Psalm 37:24
The clock tower at Westminster, which contains the bell known as Big Ben, is an iconic landmark in London, England. It is traditionally thought that the melody of the tower chimes was taken from the tune of “I Know That My Redeemer Liveth” from Handel’s Messiah. Words were eventually added and put on display in the clock room:
Lord, through this hour be Thou our guide;
So by Thy power no foot shall slide.
These words allude to Psalm 37: “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand” (vv. 23-24 nlt). Notice how intimately involved God is in His children’s experience: “He delights in every detail of their lives” (v. 23 nlt). Verse 31 adds, “The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip.”
How extraordinary! The Creator of the universe not only upholds us and helps us but He also cares deeply about every moment we live. No wonder the apostle Peter was able to confidently invite us to “cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). As the assurance of His care rings in our hearts, we find courage to face whatever comes our way.
Loving Father, thank You that every part of my life matters to You. Encourage me in my struggles so that I might walk in a way that reflects Your great love and honors Your great name.
No one is more secure than the one who is held in God’s hand.

Cities have always been associated with the experience of noise. With the growing democratization of what the urban spaces are used for in terms of events and activities, the need for a focus on how the sounds influence our everyday life arises.
Where the discourse primarily has been focussing on how to eliminate noise in the city, new initiatives focusing on the qualities of city sounds and what role they play in the public space are emerging. Whether the focus is reduction of traffic noise, acoustic design or cultural events, they all share a common goal: To improve and strenghten the sonic experience of the urban space for the people who live there as well as visitors. Bits & Beers: City Sound & Noise puts a spotlight on the topic through inspirational talks from innovative professionals within the field of city acoustics.
Bits & Beers is IdemoLab’s atypical evening conference connecting businesses, creatives, entrepreneurs, and makers in the relaxed Friday bar atmosphere, with the structure of a well organized business networking and knowledge sharing event. Bits & Beers consists of a “friday-bar”; short, introductory talks as well as an engaging exibition-area, where you can experience new technologies and concepts with-in the subject of the day.
Speakers:
Ingeborg Okkels
Ingeborg has a PHD in Musicology from Copenhagen University. Her PHD was looking into music technology and perception of audio. She has been a lecturer and writer on audio-related areas, specializing in electronic music and sound collages. As a composer and sound designer she has been working for art films and installations. Since 2014 Ingeborg Okkels have been facilitating many workshops related to sound, sound experience and sound awareness.

Since May 2015, Kirstine has been responsible for the Silent City – Living Lab of Urban Noise Reduction. SC takes place in the Southern part of Greater Copenhagen.
Lærke Cecilie Bjerre:
Regulations for quiet urban areas are typically based on sound level limits alone. However, the full immersion in the on-site non-acoustic context is important when evaluating overall and subjective soundscape quality in urban recreational areas. Lærke and her two partners Anna Josefine Sørensen and Thea Mathilde Larsen won the Young Investigator Best Paper award in Hawaii 2016 for their research in holistic sound evaluation in urban areas.
Steffen Ring and Michael Frejdal
Ring Advocacy is a technical partner in the MONICA project - a project born to demonstrate how multiple Internet of Things technologies can help in terms of noise control, sound quality, crowd management and security at large cultural events taking place in the city. Ring Advocacy was founded in 2015 by Steffen Ring, MScEE, as a technology consultancy within regulatory affairs regarding spectrum and standardisation matters with a global scope. Also included in the project is Michael Frejdal, technical director of Tivoli in Copenhagen, which works as a pilot site for MONICA to investigate through Tivoli activities and events such as eg. 'Fredagsrock'.
Music:
