“All People That On Earth Do Dwell”
This hymn traces back to the 16th century; also known as “The Old Hundredth”. The hymn first appeared in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter, a collection of psalms and hymns used by English-speaking Protestant congregations in Geneva and later in England. The tune is credited to Louis Bourgeois, a French composer and music editor who collaborated on the Genevan Psalter. The psalter was influenced by the work of John Calvin and other Reformed theologians.

Myron Hunt Architect
Myron Hubbard Hunt (February 27, 1868 – May 26, 1952) was an American architect whose numerous projects include many noted landmarks in Southern California; most notably, the Rose Bowl Stadium, where the University of Michigan Football team appears routinely on New Year’s Day. Hunt was elected a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects in 1908.
Milk
The friendly cow all red and white,
I love with all my heart:
She gives me cream with all her might,
To eat with apple-tart.
She wanders lowing here and there,
And yet she cannot stray,
All in the pleasant open air,
The pleasant light of day;
And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers.
“De Jonge Stier” 1647 Paulus Potter
Dairy milk products remain a vital part of global food supply. Since 1970 an ISO Technical Subcommittee — ISO/TC 34/SC 5 Milk and milk products — seeks globally effective standardization solutions in the methods of analysis and sampling for milk and milk products, covering the dairy chain from primary production to consumption. The business plan of its parent committee is linked below:
BUSINESS PLAN ISO/TC 34 FOOD PRODUCTS
The Stichting Koninklijk Nederlands Normalisatie Instituut is the Global Secretariat for TC34/SC5. Participating and Observing nations are shown on the map below:
The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers is the US Technical Advisory Group Administrator to the parent TC34 committee but ANSI does not have a Technical Advisory Group leader. As the U.S. member body to the ISO, ANSI is always on the hunt for its members and/or relevant stakeholders to participate in discovering standardization solutions in a broad range of technologies and markets with like-minded experts in other national standards bodies. The full sweep of ANSI’s participation in consensus documents developed by the ISO is described in the link below:
This committee has functioned since 1970 — long enough for many of the best practice titles it produces to have stabilized. There is other market action in the global dairy supply — notably the growth of non-dairy food supply — but we find no public consultations open on proposed standardization solutions as of this posting. When they are released they will appear in the link below:

Land grant colleges and universities are likely stakeholders in this domain. Apart from the passion that young people have for fair trade in any market, we see this as an opportunity for faculty and students to gain insight into the geo-politics of food supply generally and the subtleties of coffee markets. Business schools, agricultural colleges, international studies program developers who may be, and should be, interested in a leadership opportunity on behalf of the United States should communicate directly with ANSI’s ISO Team ((isot@ansi.org).
We devote at least an hour every month breaking down public consultations on food safety and sustainability. The work products of TC 34 appears on the standing agenda of both our Global and Food colloquia. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Does Consciousness Extend Beyond Brains
Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field that explores the study of mental processes such as perception, memory, reasoning, and language comprehension. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy, cognitive science aims to understand how the mind works and processes information. Researchers investigate cognitive phenomena through empirical studies, computational models, and theoretical frameworks. By examining the complex interplay between the brain, behavior, and external stimuli, cognitive science seeks insights into human intelligence, problem-solving, decision-making, and consciousness.
The field contributes to advancements in artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and our understanding of the mind-brain relationship.
Comment: “This was my first experience of Luhrman, and I much appreciated her summary that the essence of consciousness lies in our relationship with external ‘others’, which seems to fit well with Sheldrake’s emphasis on the interconnectedness of self-organising systems and also Anil’s refutation of the idea the brain is ‘merely’ an information-processing system. However, I found the discussion on information-processing moved on a bit too quickly and dismissively; there is much explanatory power in Karl Friston’s work that seems to me to have great value, even though I agree that information processing is not the whole story. Malone did a fabulous job of holding the space for a creative tension in the debate, and it was a pleasure to experience his style of inquiry again (I hope he will be making another of his wonderful films soon).
My own curiosity has settled recently on the related and emerging area of inquiry labeled as “enactive cognition” and it would be wonderful to see a future debate bringing these ideas into tension with those of enactivists like Di Paolo and Thompson, plus phenomenological insights from the likes of Maclaren and Callard. I share Anil’s frustration with Silicon Valley’s pursuit of technology such as AI regardless of the ethics, also seemingly with scant regard for the dangers of their move-fast-and-break-things approach.
On a positive note, my limited exposure to the AI community at least comforts me that they are an extremely curious and deep-thinking community. The problem, it seems to me, is the lack of transparency on the part of tech firms that don’t share their research data with public academics; more patient science is needed to inform the work of these clever engineers and developers. My fear is not of the technology so much as its financial backers, and the profit- and power-oriented goals that most tech leaders are pursuing. For all the early talk of not wanting to repeat the mistakes of social media platforms, some vocal segments of AI culture seem to have confabulated their way towards justifying any innovation on the grounds of its ‘great potential’ for humanity – here we go again...” — @neurojitsu

Student radio stations are learning platforms for aspiring broadcasters and media professionals. They offer practical training and hands-on experience in radio production, programming, and broadcasting. Many educational institutions with student radio stations integrate these stations into their curriculum, providing students with the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world broadcasting setting.
