Berrien Springs
Settled in the Village of Berrien Springs (Population 2043, including students) Andrews University is the flagship educational institution of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and is made up of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, School of Education, School of Health Professions, and the School of Architecture, Art & Design.
The University is named after John Nevins Andrews (1829–1883), the biggest thinker in the 19th-century Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was also the first sponsored missionary that the Church sent overseas. J.N. Andrews’ example of careful thought and compassionate action in Christian life is something we have taken to heart. Our motto is “Seek Knowledge. Affirm Faith. Change the World.”
Andrews University is honored to be ranked as one of the top 15 Christian universities and the highest ranked Adventist university in the country in the 2024 Niche Best Colleges report. pic.twitter.com/FQb7czeHoL

God and Man at Yale | Willam F. Buckley, Jr 1951
The Conservative Mind | Russell Kirk 1953
The ISI is a nonprofit organization founded in 1953 by Frank Chodorov and William F. Buckley Jr. to promote conservative and libertarian ideas on American college campuses. ISI educates students through publications (e.g., Modern Age, The Intercollegiate Review), campus lectures, honors programs, and fellowships that emphasize free-market economics, limited government, traditional values, and the Western intellectual tradition.
Independent of political parties, it has influenced generations of conservative leaders, including judges, journalists, and policymakers. Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, ISI remains active in countering perceived leftist dominance in higher education
“The expansion of higher education has been paid for by the taxpayer,
and the taxpayer has been rewarded with the systematic destruction
of the culture that once justified the expense.”
— Sir Roger Scruton (Culture Counts, 2007)
New ISI chapters and new Collegiate Network publications reflect a growing demand for thoughtful, principled conservatism. Discover the work happening across the ISI community at the link below.https://t.co/F1tmk1741T pic.twitter.com/XqCn1lSITY

Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal | Mecosta County Michigan
William F. Buckley Jr. and Russell Kirk were the twin pillars of post-war American conservatism, yet with distinct emphases. Kirk, the traditionalist, rooted conservatism in moral order, permanence, prescription, and the “permanent things” of Western civilization—famously outlining it in The Conservative Mind (1953). Buckley, the fusionist, built National Review to unite traditionalists, libertarians, and anti-communists under a practical political banner, emphasizing individual liberty and anti-statism.Though Kirk criticized libertarian excesses and Buckley occasionally chided traditionalist “reaction,” they admired each other deeply. Buckley called Kirk the conservative movement’s “benign patriarch”; Kirk praised Buckley’s role in making conservatism intellectually respectable and politically viable. Their friendship and mutual influence forged the enduring traditionalist-libertarian synthesis of modern American conservatism

Standard Reference Material
Metrology is the scientific discipline that deals with measurement, including both the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement. It is a broad field that encompasses many different areas, including length, mass, time, temperature, and electrical and optical measurements. The goal of metrology is to establish a system of measurement that is accurate, reliable, and consistent. This involves the development of standards and calibration methods that enable precise and traceable measurements to be made.
The International System of Units is the most widely used system of units today and is based on a set of seven base units, which are defined in terms of physical constants or other fundamental quantities. Another important aspect of metrology is the development and use of measurement instruments and techniques. These instruments and techniques must be designed to minimize errors and uncertainties in measurements, and they must be calibrated against recognized standards to ensure accuracy and traceability.
Metrology also involves the development of statistical methods for analyzing and interpreting measurement data. These methods are used to quantify the uncertainty associated with measurement results and to determine the reliability of those results.
Standard for Parking Structures
Tallinna Ülikool | University of Estonia | Parking place art
Parking — the lack of it, the cost of it — has always been a sensitive issue in education communities. Into the mix add the expansion of electric vehicle charging stations, ride sharing, and micromobility. Their construction characteristics make them ideal locations for storage enterprises and emergency generators. NFPA 88A Standard for Parking Structures asserts best practice of a small but important part of it; the construction and protection of, as well as the control of hazards in, open and enclosed parking structures. Things get complicated with other occupancy classes merge with it; especially so when electric vehicle battery fires present another order of magnitude of risk.
The 2023 Edition (recently released) can be read in the link below:
FREE ACCESS: Standard for Parking Structures
Insight into the ideas that are in play can be tracked in the transcripts linked below:
Note the concern for the overlap and space between this title and passages in International Code Council catalog. We limit our concern for fire safety and more education communities build high rise student accommodation with integral parking structures. The bibliography is extensive (References Pages 92 – 99):

Campus Surveillance
“Big Brother is watching you.”
“Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed—no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters in your skull.”
“At any rate, they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.”
“It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away.”
“Fire at Full Moon” 1933 | Paul Klee
Hard upon conclusion of the fall semester, educational settlements ebb in population as students return to their home fires.
Today we pull together best practice in the systems — the people and the technologies — that sustain campus safety and stability during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays.

“Center Grove Schools enters the 2022/2023 school year with a new high-tech safety partner — Centegix CrisisAlert — purchased in part with school safety grant money that pairs with their Emergency Operations Center that opened in January 2022. The CrisisAlert program puts security at the fingertips of all teachers and staff.
Both systems address what the district learned it had to work on from a school safety assessment back in 2018 – live monitoring and faster response times in an emergency. Seven-hundred cameras will scan every school in real-time from the district’s Emergency Operations Center. — More”

New methodology for classifying “The Midwest” – Menards.
Menards stores only appear where a significant number consider themselves “Midwestern.” In the core, indisputably Midwest states, Menards is bigger than Lowes or Home Depot.
