...you shall above all things be glad and young. For if you're young, whatever life you wear it will become you; and if you are glad whatever's living will yourself become....(e.e. cummings 1940)

ALWAYS ON
Bagel & Lox
"With this weekly post we want to introduce you into the culinary range of the English speaking world. Each week we present you an iconic dish and give you information around its origin, preparation and eating habits. This week we are visiting the Big Apple – New York. Bagels can be regarded as a true American melting-pot meal." -- von Nadja Wostiera (Language graduate and blog author)
Colloquy (April)
Open agenda. We do this once every month. Whatever anyone wants to talk about.
Six Week Priority
For the entirety of March, and until April 9th, we focus on preparing response to proposed changes to the IEEE 2028 National Electrical Safety Code, and to prepare fresh new ideas for the 2028 NFPA National Electrical Code. Topics coverage normally scheduled for this time of year will be accessible but our daily online meetings will start with work on those two standards. To join the "code-writing and vote-getting" use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
Spring Sport
We are consolidating over 10+ years of coverage of sport standards by the season now. This is our first cut breaking the topic into four separate seasons. Join us today at the usual hour when we sort through stabilized literature and the codes and standards open for public consultation
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 16:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Graduation, Dating, Engagements, Weddings, Births & Obituaries
Pairing young people with a lifetime bond may be the most enduring reason for educational settlements to exist; and one that has received subtle disregard by higher education administrators and marketers of the "college experience".
Gallery: Easter Bonnet Parades
Kids decorate plain hats with colorful paper, ribbons, flowers, chicks, and eggs using glue, scissors, and creativity. This hands-on craft fosters imagination, fine motor skills, and seasonal joy. On parade day, children proudly wear their unique bonnets, marching to celebrate Easter and the arrival of spring in a cheerful, festive display of color and handmade charm.
2029 National Electrical Code
Today at the usual hour we will review drafts of proposals we will submit to the NFPA Technical Committees next Thursday. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
