Eggnog
December is National Eggnog Month
Historians’ best guess as to the origin of eggnog dates back to the English Middle Ages, where a warm, milky ale called ‘posset’, was consumed. Posset was often consumed with eggs and figs; eggs, figs, dairy, and sherry were products that only the wealthy could afford to enjoy at the time. Eggnog was thought to have arrived in the U.S. prior to the revolutionary war. Whereas most of the eggnog consumed in Britain was by the upper class (with sherry), as eggnog advanced throughout the U.S. like a milky river of frothy delight, it was generally consumed with rum or bourbon.
Because the agricultural-based colonies were flush with chickens and cows, the consumption of eggnog was not limited to crusty upper class Brits, but rather a drink that most people throughout the American colonies could enjoy. In fact, food historian, Emelyn Rude (2015), author of “How Eggnog (Almost) Changed the World”, explains that consumption of eggnog was a popular holiday pastime of many, even including West Point cadets, such as Edgar Allen Poe and Jefferson Davis.
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.

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
The most widely cited standard on school security in the United States is the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design guidelines developed by the National Institute of Justice . CPTED is a multidisciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through the design and management of the built and natural environment. It emphasizes the importance of designing schools and their surroundings in a way that maximizes natural surveillance, territoriality, and access control, while minimizing opportunities for crime and creating a sense of ownership and community.
CPTED guidelines have been adopted by many schools and law enforcement agencies across the country and are often referenced in school safety plans, security assessments, and training programs required by the Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.
Energy Standard for *Sites* and Buildings
Addendum av to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2022, Energy Standard for Sites and Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. This addendum creates more exacting provisions for envelope alterations. The new format is intended to better communicate the requirements, triggers, and allowances associated with performing an envelope alteration to promote energy efficiency within the impacted area(s). Consultation closes October 6.
ANSI Standards Action Weekly Edition | Given ASHRAE’s revision redlines are frequently uploaded here
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is an ANSI-accredited continuous-maintenance standards developer (a major contributor to what we call a regulatory product development “stream”). Continuous maintenance means that changes to its consensus products can change in as little as 30 days so it is wise to keep pace.
Among the leading titles in its catalog is ASHRAE 90.1 Energy Standard for Sites and Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. Standard 90.1 has been a benchmark for commercial building energy codes in the United States and a key basis for codes and standards around the world for more than 35 years. Free access to ASHRAE 90.1 version is available at the link below:
READ ONLY Version of 2022 ASHRAE 90.1
Redlines are released at a fairly brisk pace — with 30 to 45 day consultation periods. A related title — ASHRAE 189.1 Standard for the Design of High Performance Green Buildings — first published in 2009 and far more prescriptive in its scope heavily references parent title 90.1 so we usually them as a pair because 189.1 makes a market for green building conformance enterprises. Note the “extreme prescriptiveness” (our term of art) in 189.1 which has the practical effect of legislating engineering judgement, in our view.

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.

2024+ Student Paper Competition
This year’s award cycle closed in June.
The next revision cycle will begin again during Worlds Standards Week in November.
“A Girl Writing; The Pet Goldfinch” 1870 Henriette Browne
For nearly twenty years now, the American National Standards Institute Committee on Education administers a student paper competition intended to encourage understanding of the global standards system that also provides a solid prize — in the $1000 to $5000 range. The topic of the 2024 Student Paper Competition will be What Role Do or Could Standards Play in Safe and Effective Implementation of Artificial Intelligence Applications/Systems?
Student Paper Competition Flyer 2024 – Entries due 7 June 2024
For the past six years Standards Michigan has hosted Saturday morning workshops to help students (and faculty) interested in entering the contest. We will soon post those dates on our CALENDER. We typically host them — three sessions ahead of the deadline — on Saturday mornings.
We provide links to previous paper winners and refer you to Lisa Rajchel: [email protected] for all other details.
