Pumpkin Spice Latte
Welcome to September through December. Student Abby Rosenblum reverse engineers the standard $8 Starbucks favorite.
Fall Field Sport
Today we continue drilling into the transcript of proposed changes the International Code Council Group B tranche of titles relevant to our safety and sustainability agenda with attention to participant and spectator safety. Challenges to the committee decisions in Orlando in April were heard in Cleveland October 22-30. The transcript of voting results should be released soon.
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.
Sports Turf Management
Many colleges, universities and school districts have hundreds of acres of live or artificial turf that require expertise in plant and material sciences.
Quadrivium: Autumn
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.
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.
Empirical Analysis of Risk for Sports Facilities
Research relevant to the step-wise upbuild of sport facilities in the education sector; now mutating into digital settlements with brisk evolution of risk aggregation.
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.
National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security
In in the Good Ole Days we developed safety standards for athletes. Now the spectators are at greater risk. Leviathan-scale sport enterprises in education communities are a significant profit center and a proven reserve for litigation possibilities -- hence an academic "center" developing around a familiar business model that gets perilously close to ruining the sport experience for fans and competitors alike.
