Cherry Blossom Tea Latte
A delicate, floral spring drink featuring the subtle cherry-like aroma and slight saltiness of sakura (cherry blossoms). Made with steeped sakura tea or a flavored base, combined with steamed or frothed milk, and often sweetened or enhanced with syrup or powder for color and flavor. It's lighter and more tea-forward than a coffee-based latte. Available hot or with ice at the UnCommon Grounds Cafe in the Neuberger Centennial Campus Center
Nourriture d’été
Today we break down the catalog for food safety in education communities; with primary attention to consultations from private standard developing organizations and federal agencies charged with food safety. We do so with sensitivity to animals and plants and sustainability of the global food supply chain.
Quadrivium: Summer
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. 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.
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.
Community Hub Schools
Build the schools first; the neighborhood will follow. Today we explore possibilities emerging from that reversal. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page at the usual hour.
Babcock Neighborhood School
Traditionally, schools followed the growth of neighborhoods that supported family formation. Maybe the "education agenda" should include building schools first (rather than the other way around). Parents would know in advance what their children will be taught before they buy the house. Today we have an example -- and it worked.
Mobility & Parking
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.” ― Anita Desai. Today we begin reorganizing our exploration and understanding of mobility standards with an emphasis on human factors.
Community Risk Assessment
The (now sun-setted ) NFPA 1600 established a common set of criteria for all hazards disaster/emergency management and business continuity programs. Its content will be rolled into the new NFPA 1660; close-coupled with FEMA's National Incident Management System. Public consultation on the First Draft of the 2028 Revision will be received until July 27th
