Our engagement with the ISO catalog began in 2008 at the University of Michigan and, after the 2016 reorganization, was transferred to Standards Michigan, LLC. We start the year reviewing where our voice was heard (with attendance at meetings in Europe) and in written response to calls for public comment. With link to research grant applications for faculty and students.

Evolution of the standards system in Australia is tracking the evolution of the United States standards system administered by the American National Standards Institute. In many economic sectors adherence to Australian Standards is mandated by legislation, however, access to the standards are often cost prohibitive, particularly to small business and sole traders.
Principal petitioner Andrew Gardso, an electrical engineer, states,
“This in essence will force small organisations and sole traders out of business or necessitate services being performed without having access to these standards.”
Access to Standards Australia Construction codes can cost more than $2673 for three years’ access to the National Construction Code set of standards. A petition to the Australian parliament’s House of Representatives seeks free or affordable access to essential standards that govern the safety and consistency of products services and systems, including design and construction.
The University of Michigan has supported the voice of the United States education facility industry since 1993 — the second longest tenure of any voice in the United States. That voice has survived several organizational changes but remains intact and will continue its Safer-Simpler-Lower Cost-Longer Lasting priorities on Code Panel 3 in the 2029 Edition.
Today, during our customary “Open Door” teleconference we will examine the technical concepts under the purview of Code Panel 3; among them:
Article 200 Use and Identification of Grounded Conductors
Since the lifespan of educational buildings make the building core and shell susceptible to multiple changes not typically associated with commercial buildings, additional pathways should be placed in areas where the core and shell components of the facility are likely to re-main for extended periods of time
It is recommended that all areas of an educational building have wireless coverage unless prohibited
Abstract: Power grid operation and maintenance decision-making reform is an important part of power system reform. With the construction of massive historical quasi real-time data management platform, the reform of power system is also advancing. However, in the face of massive data explosion, the business level and business logic become disorganized and redundant. Based on the actual situation of Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau, the sg-erp data center is composed of structured data center, massive data center, unstructured data center and power grid GIS data center. With the unprecedented growth of business application data, the data center can improve business logic and promote power system reform. The experimental results show that big data technology has a broad application prospect in the reform of power industry.
Today at the usual hour we explore how Best Practice Case Studies on the use of cell phones in K-12 schools “might” evolve into a de-facto standard for all school districts. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
Case studies evolve into general consensus standards through a multi-stage, evidence-driven process:
Discovery & Proof-of-Concept (individual success) A few organizations implement an innovative approach and achieve dramatically better results.
Validation & Replication (early adopters) Other organizations study the cases, replicate the approach, and publish similar positive outcomes → credibility grows.
Widespread Discussion & Refinement (community phase) Conferences, journals, consultants, and industry groups analyze, critique, and refine the practice. Variations emerge and the strongest elements survive.
Pattern Recognition & Codification (framework stage) Thought leaders and associations identify common success factors, create frameworks, guidelines, and maturity models.
Institutionalization (consensus stage) Major standards bodies (ISO, NIST, ITIL, COBIT, etc.), regulators, or dominant industry players formalize the practice into official standards, certifications, or audit requirements.
Taken-for-Granted Status The former “innovative case study” becomes the default expectation — “this is how things are done.”
Timeframe: typically 5–15 years, depending on industry pace and evidence strength.
WASHINGTON, March 18, 2020—The Federal Communications Commission today announced important changes to the Rural Health Care (RHC) and E-Rate programs that will make it easier for broadband providers to support telehealth and remote learning efforts during the coronavirus pandemic. Specifically, the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau has waived the gift rules until September 30, 2020 to enable service providers to offer, and RHC and ERate program participants to solicit and accept, improved connections or additional equipment for telemedicine or remote learning during the coronavirus outbreak.

Abstract: Wi-Fi is the most commonly used technology for internet access. Many commercial organizations and educational complexes have been using IEEE 802.11n based wireless Local Area Networks in their campuses to provide seamless internet access to their stake holders. However, these networks suffer severe network coverage problems due to which, some of the network users in the campus will not be in the coverage of the network and some will go out of coverage when they are moving from one building to another in the campus, which causes the loss of some of the important and critical information. These no Wi-Fi coverage areas are known as Dead Zones. In this paper, the authors have made an attempt to identify dead zones in the campus by measuring Wi-Fi signal strength using Netspot tool. The Wi-Fi signal strength is represented with heat map to identify the weak signal areas and dead zones. Solutions to improve the coverage have been presented.
Here is the passage from the Gospel of John 1:29–34 in the King James Version (KJV), which recounts John the Baptist’s testimony about Jesus, alluding to His baptism through the sign of the descending Spirit:
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Unlike the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), which narrate the baptism directly, John’s Gospel focuses on the Baptist’s witness to it.
