Blended Burger
"Mushrooms are one of the most sustainable foods grown in the United States, particularly when you compare their water usage to that of beef. On average meat/mushroom blended burgers are 24% lower in fat and 27% cheaper than all-beef burgers. Colorado University Dining Services now serves blended burgers in all of the on-campus dining centers!"
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.
Fall Watersport
Today we update our understanding of best practice catalogs for outdoor and indoor watersport; swimming, rowing, water polo, sailing and fishing among them. Water chemistry, electrocution risk, illumination, timing and measurements systems present challenges that routinely require resolution. With links to the inaugural season of the new College Swimming League.
Food Safety
Schools, colleges, universities (residence halls, athletic venues, hospitals, etc.) have significant food preparation and serving enterprises. NSF International -- founded at the University of Michigan in 1948 -- is one of the first names in the food safety domain. Standards setting committee meetings are hosted online frequently and open to the public.
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.
Watersport Time Standards
Much like the safety and sustainability challenges of building a hockey rink in Michigan Stadium for 100,000 fans, it is easier to bring a 50-meter, 600,000 gallon, 5.5 million pound pool to a 70,000 person audience rather than the other way around. Thus, the USA Olympic Team Trials -- ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris - will be hosted at the Lucas Oil football stadium in downtown Indianapolis. NCAA D1 Championships take place in March.
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.
Game Day Food
Americans are too fat and the Rabelaisian game day choices for fans well past peak metabolic burn is not helping. Link to cooperative study with the University of North Carolina funded by Aramark, one of the "Big Three" contract food service providers to USA educational settlements.
