ALWAYS ON
Water and Sanitation
Given the gift of a new day, our first interactions with it involve with water.
Chelsea Buns
These square, spiraled buns originated in early 18th-century London at the Chelsea Bun House, a royal-favored spot selling spiced, fruit-filled yeast buns to Georgian nobility. They cut a foodway path across Britain, settling first at "Fitzbillies Bakery" on Trumpington Street eventually making first landfall in North America at Penn State University as "Grilled Stickies"
Border Collie Optimization
You probably do not think about the importance border collies have been to the food supply chain for centuries. Electrical engineers at research universities in India and the Czech Republic have.
Quadrivium: Spring
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Amphitheaters
From from time to time -- particularly in the months of fairer weather, when many events are hosted outdoors -- we break form from the daily grind of responding to public commenting opportunities to simply enjoy these spaces
Bleachers, Folding Seating & Grandstands
This standard cross-references (i.e. "interacts") with related titles in the National Fire Protection Association stack and local crowd control regulations. It sets minimum requirements for means of egress facilities, stability, and safety to life and property relative to the construction, alteration, repair, operation and maintenance of new and existing temporary and permanent bleachers, folding and telescopic seating and grandstands.
Audio Standards
Education communities have an outsized share of performance theaters, lecture halls, stadiums, massive open online curricula production centers, and virtual reality learning centers that depend upon effective audio systems that are electro-technologically complex. Moreover, interoperability challenges emerge almost immediately when events are moved between venues.
Current Issues & Recent Research
We are tooling up for the NFPA 2029 National Electrical Code Technical Committee Meetings in September and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society Meetings in October.
