Curated list of federal legislative actions affecting United States educational settlements.
Bucolia 300
(OED adj. pl.) "pastoral, relating to country life or the affairs and occupations of a shepherd," 1610s, earlier bucolical (1520s), from Latin bucolicus, from Greek boukolikos "pastoral, rustic," from boukolos "cowherd, herdsman," from bous "cow" (from PIE root *gwou- "ox, bull, cow") + -kolos "tending," related to Latin colere "to till (the ground), cultivate, dwell, inhabit" (from PIE root *kwel- (1) "revolve, move round; sojourn, dwell").
World Soil Museum
This collection showcases 1000 soil profiles from more than 85 countries. It features "soil monoliths" -- large, vertical sections of soil that have been carefully extracted from the ground and preserved for display. These monoliths provide a unique opportunity for visitors to see the complex layers and structures of soils from around the world, including everything from volcanic soils in Iceland to desert soils in Africa.
Quadrivium: Spring
Educational settlements are the closest many people come to feel at home in beautiful surroundings. The catalog that informs the safety and sustainability of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day. By design titles are unstable, time-sensitive and copyright protected. We explore the action continuously; assign priorities, then schedule a separate teleconference to formulate responses to public consultations. Daily colloquia topics appear on our CALENDAR.
Gallery: Other Ways of Knowing Climate Change
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary." -- H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
2028 National Electrical Safety Code
This title sets the standard of care for construction, operation and maintenance of power and telecommunication infrastructure on the supply side of the point of common coupling. It is the first title to reach for when disasters happen; with most public utilities bound to its best practice assertions by statute. Proposals for changes to appear in 2028 Edition will be received until 15 May 2024.
Retrodiction
By design, we do not provide a SEARCH function. We are a niche practice in a subtle, time-sensitive domain with over 30 years of case history. We provide links to the most accessed topics in recent days. All queries presented during our "Open Office Hours" every work day, or via email, are gratefully received and prompt a near-immediate response.
