The Buttery
"In First Court, what we call the Buttery (an old word) is a café during the day and a bar in the evening, so it's one of the main social areas in College and a source of sandwiches, snacks and pastries outside of canteen meal times. The team make everyone welcome, and the café is subsidised and so cheaper to use than the equivalent coffee shops in town."
Lingua Franca
A vast continually changing topic. Today at the usual hour we sort through the linguistic stack that informs the interoperability of safety and sustainability technologies that create and sustain the built environment of educational settlements. (With links to our coverage of facility naming and signage standards)
Bias and Fairness in Large Language Models
Today at the usual hour we sort through the literature on the stabilization of American English as the de-facto "Language of the Internet" and the Artificial Intelligence zietgeist.
Ghana’s Rabbit Industry
Like many folk traditions, saying "Rabbit, rabbit" to your colleagues on the first day of the month has an unclear origin and has several variations and interpretations. Nana Essumamba Sam explains the role of the university in promoting the interest of Ghanaian rabbit farmers who supply protein from a species notorious for its pace of reproduction.
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.
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".
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.
