Funeral Potatoes
Funeral potatoes are a tradition in Utah, especially within the Latter-day Saints community. This food is typically served at gatherings following funerals, providing warmth and solace to grieving families.The dish is a casserole made with hash brown potatoes, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheese, and a topping, often cornflakes or crushed potato chips. Its origins date back to the mid-20th century, when practical, easily-prepared meals were essential for feeding groups quickly.The name “funeral potatoes” reflects their frequent appearance at post-funeral luncheons, but they are also enjoyed at other gatherings and holidays. The dish embodies the spirit of community and support, symbolizing the care and comfort shared among friends and family during difficult times.

2026 NEC Code Panel 15 Public Input Report with Committee Response
Note in the transcript above that the four proposals submitted by Standards Michigan relate to healthcare facilities. Code Panel 15 receives proposals for healthcare and assembly occupancy wiring safety concepts.
Marcel Jambon for an 1895 Paris production of Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello.
The standard of care for electrical system safety in dramatic art facilities in the education, and other industries, is largely established in Articles 518 through Article 540 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). In some instances, dramatic art activity takes place in athletic arenas so we are mindful of parent standards for assembly occupancies generally; found in Chapter 3 of the International Building Code.
Free public access to the current 2023edition of the NEC is linked below:
Of particular interest is the “technical power system” found in Article 640: Audio Signal Processing, Amplification, and Reproduction Equipment.
Access to the International Building Code on “related” occupancies is linked below (Chapter 3 Occupancy Classification and Use):
2021 International Building Code
Note the imperfect correlation between the NFPA and ICC occupancy definitions. This never happens by design but is sometimes necessary. Some risk aggregations have to be understood as terms of art; to be understood by seasoned experts in context. Also, keep in mind that the NEC is a wiring installation safety code.
Proposals for revisions to assembly-related installations in the for 2023 is linked below:
NFPA 70 Public Input Report for 2023 Assembly Occupancies
Second Draft Report for all articles assigned to CMP-15
The so called “song and dance” sections of the NEC have been fairly “stable” in recent cycles. Changes to these articles in the NEC 2020 revision are incremental — i.e clarifications on grounding, wiring methods, cord wiring, illumination — and helpful for designers and inspectors. Nothing budget busting. Convergence of fire safety, mass notification, environmental air and visual experiences continues as once-independent technologies continue integration.

We Plough the Fields and Scatter
The lyrics were originally written in German by poet Matthias Claudius in 1782 as part of a larger work titled “Paul Erdmanns Fest” which reflects an appreciation for the agricultural cycle. The hymn was later translated into English by Jane Montgomery Campbell in 1861. The melody most commonly associated with the hymn is a traditional German tune, adapted by Johann Abraham Peter Schulz.
The hymn expresses gratitude for the earth’s bounty and acknowledges God as the ultimate provider of all good things. Its verses celebrate the act of sowing and reaping, emphasizing the cooperation between human effort and divine blessing. “We Plow the Fields and Scatter” has become a staple in Christian liturgy, particularly during harvest celebrations and Thanksgiving services, symbolizing a collective acknowledgment of and thanks for God’s abundant gifts.
