Evensong “This is My Song”
“This Is My Song” is a hymn that was written by Lloyd Stone in 1934, with music composed by Jean Sibelius, a Finnish composer. The hymn was originally titled “A Song of Peace” and was written during a time of global unrest, just before World War II. Lloyd Stone was an American minister, and he wrote the lyrics to express his desire for peace and unity among nations.
The hymn gained popularity for its message of peace and hope during a turbulent period in world history. Over the years, it has been included in various hymnals and sung in churches and gatherings around the world. The combination of Stone’s heartfelt lyrics and Sibelius’s stirring music has made it a beloved hymn that continues to be sung to this day. The hymn is often used in interfaith and ecumenical settings to promote the idea of peace among all nations and people.

Elettrotecnico Lingua Franca
In our collaboration with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee we are sensitive to the point of view of our research and standards setting colleagues in other nations; among them CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) are two standardization organizations in Europe, and they have some similarities and differences.
- CEN develops standards for a wide range of products, services, and processes, including construction, consumer goods, food and agriculture, and many others.
- CENELEC, on the other hand, focuses specifically on electrotechnical standards, including electrical equipment, electronic components, and telecommunications.
Another key difference between CEN and CENELEC is their membership. CEN has members from 34 European countries, including national standardization bodies, industry associations, and consumer organizations. CENELEC has members from 34 European countries as well, but they are limited to national electrotechnical committees, which are responsible for electrotechnical standardization in their respective countries.
Despite their differences, both CEN and CENELEC play important roles in the development and promotion of European standards, and their standards are widely recognized and used across Europe and beyond. Its leadership committees meet this week in Brussels. CLICK HERE to access videolinks.
We had the pleasure to welcome the new CENELEC President Elect Mr Riccardo Lama at our offices, for a moment to engage with the CEN and CENELEC senior management team and the CEN and CENELEC Presidents Mr Stefano Calzolari and Mr Wolfgang Niedziella.@CEInorme @IECStandards pic.twitter.com/ynk9ViWb60

Technical Barriers to Trade
World According to Marco Polo
We track action in international administrative procedures that affect the safety and sustainability agenda of the education facility industry. From time to time we find product purchasing contracts that contain “boilerplate” requiring conformity to applicable regulations found in the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT). Common examples are found in contracts for the acquisition of information technology and specialty laboratory equipment.
The World Trade Organization TBT Agreement obliges all Parties to maintain an inquiry point that is able to answer questions from interested parties and other WTO Members regarding technical regulations, standards developed by government bodies, and conformity assessment procedures, as well as provide relevant documents. The TBT Agreement also requires that WTO Members notify the WTO of proposed technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures so interested parties can become acquainted with them and have an opportunity to submit written comments.
Technical Barriers to Trade Information Management System
The inquiry point and notification authority for the United States is operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. We provide a link here for the convenience of faculty, specifiers and purchasing professionals.
