    The International Code Council (ICC) does not publish a standalone standard equivalent to NFPA 10: Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers. Instead, Chapter 9, Section 906 of the International Fire Code (IFC) (latest edition: 2021) governs the installation, placement, inspection, and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers in buildings and structures. This section directly references and incorporates NFPA 10 for detailed technical requirements, such as selection, distribution, and hydrostatic testing.The IFC is a model code developed by the ICC, adopted (with possible local amendments) by many jurisdictions. It focuses on prescriptive rules for fire safety systems, while deferring to NFPA 10 for extinguisher-specific standards.

     

    NFPA 10: Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers
    • IFC Section 906.1: “Portable fire extinguishers shall be provided in all occupancies… in accordance with this section and NFPA 10.”
    • Tables in IFC 906.3(1)–906.3(3) mirror NFPA 10 for hazard classifications and equivalents (e.g., two 2-A extinguishers = one 4-A).

    “Grief” Anna | Anna Ancher (1859 – 1935)

    “Galveston was my love letter to absence. I wrote it in a London flat, 1968, far from Texas beaches, imagining a soldier in Vietnam staring at the sea—any sea—begging it to rinse his rifle and his soul. “Galveston, oh Galveston” is homesickness weaponized; the waves are both memory and mercy. She stands on the pier, not just a girl but the idea of return, of life before the draft. I gave Glen Campbell a soldier’s ache wrapped in major chords—sunlit on the surface, haunted underneath. It’s anti-war without a slogan: longing, not protest, is the sharpest blade.” — Jimmy Webb

    RE: Ralph Vaughn Williams interpretation:

    • Harmonization of the Tune: “All People That on Earth Do Dwell” is set to the tune “Old Hundredth,” which is one of the most well-known hymn tunes and dates back to the 16th century. Vaughan Williams created a notable harmonization of this tune for the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. His arrangement brought a fresh and majestic quality to the already beloved hymn, making it suitable for grand ceremonial occasions.
    • Orchestration for the Coronation Service: Vaughan Williams not only harmonized the hymn but also orchestrated it for a full choir and orchestra for the coronation service. This orchestration enhanced the hymn’s grandeur and was used during the recessional at the end of the service, leaving a lasting impression on the attendees and listeners.
    • Influence on Hymnody: Vaughan Williams’ work on “All People That on Earth Do Dwell” is part of his broader impact on hymnody. Through his contributions, including this specific harmonization and orchestration, he helped to elevate and modernize hymn singing within the Anglican tradition and beyond.

    Here’s a rough breakdown of the top languages on the web:

    English: 55.4% – Russian: 6.6% – Japanese: 5.4% – Spanish: 5.2% – Chinese: 4.6%

     

    One of the most contentious aspects of best practice discovery and promulgation in any domain, and no less so in educational settlements, is an agreed-upon vocabulary and shared understanding.  As we explain elsewhere in this history, when a counter-party disagrees with you, he simply switches out the vocabulary — i.e. changes definitions or adds or subtracts from the traditional meanings of things.  So we approach this topic several times a year to confirm our bearing on the meaning of things.

    Attention Is All You Need | Ashish Vaswani, et. al

    We begin 2025 by breaking down this topic into four sections

    Language 100: Survey of vocabulary in the standards catalogs relevant to building and managing education settlement real assets; including legal terms.

    Language 200: Electrotechnology standard catalogs; including computer programming languages.

    Language 300: The English as the language of science and innovation; the birthplace of computing and programming, the internet’s native tongue, standardization & open source development; etc.

    Language 400: Reserved


    We observe National Poetry Month in the United States and Canada every year with an inquiry into changes in the (meaning of) definitions at the foundation of best practice literature; frequently the subject of sporty debate among experts writing codes and standards for the built environment of education communities.

    In the United Kingdom, National Poetry Month is celebrated in October, and it is known as “National Poetry Day” which has been observed since 1994. It is an initiative of the Forward Arts Foundation, which aims to encourage people to read, write and perform poetry.

    Other countries also have their own poetry celebrations, such as World Poetry Day, which is observed annually on March 21 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry worldwide.

    In past years we used a Tamil mnemonic because Tamil is the oldest surviving language and remains the spoken language of 80-odd million people of South Asia.  Alas, use of Tamil confounds our Wordpress content management system so in 2024 we began coding this topic in American English

    Status check on open source consensus titles evolving around distributed ledger technologies for financing, planning, design, operation & maintenance of the #WiseCampus.  print(“Wise Campus”).

    The rapid growth of AI training and inference drives hyperbolic demand for data center capacity, creating a classic boom-bust dilemma on large university campuses.

    Overbuild: Universities rushing to construct hyperscale or AI-focused data centers risk massive stranded capital if AI progress slows, federal funding dries up, or cheaper cloud alternatives dominate. These facilities require enormous power (often 100–500+ MW), water cooling, and land—resources that could lock campuses into 20–30-year commitments while diverting funds from core academic missions. Critics fear a repeat of the 1990s fiber-optic glut, leaving half-empty “ghost” buildings.

    Underbuild: Failing to invest sufficiently risks losing top AI faculty and students to better-equipped peers (Stanford, MIT, CMU), forfeiting federal grants (e.g., NSF, CHIPS Act), and diminishing national competitiveness. In a winner-take-all AI race, campuses without GPU clusters and high-performance networking quickly fall behind in recruiting and research output.

    Universities are thus caught between fear of wasteful mega-projects and fear of irrelevance.

    Reflection on the degree to which large research universities are Non-Government Organizations (Quangos, in the United Kingdom) or Hedge Funds with a side operation in education.

    “Mack the Knife” (original German title: “Die Moritat von Mackie Messer”) seems like a jaunty swing tune, especially in Louis Armstrong’s or Bobby Darin’s famous versions, but its lyrics are actually about a charming, elegant, and utterly ruthless gangster/criminal named Macheath (“Mack the Knife”) from Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s 1928 play The Threepenny Opera (Die Dreigroschenoper).

    This popular jazz standard disguises the cynical statement about how money, greed, corruption, robbery, and murder are intertwined — and how the biggest crooks wear suits and are celebrated instead of punished.

    “For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man

    standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

    — Paraphrase by Winston Churchill

    University endowments are comprised of money or other financial assets that are donated to academic institutions. Charitable donations are the primary source of funds for endowments. Endowment funds support the teaching, research, and public service missions of colleges and universities.  In the case of endowment funds for academic institutions, the income generated is intended to finance a portion of the operating or capital requirements of the institution.  Today we will pick through few reports where safety and sustainability claims are listed and described.

    American Standard

    Burt Bacharach’s A House Is Not a Home, composed in 1964 with lyrics by Hal David, is an American standard due to its timeless melody, emotional depth, and widespread influence. First recorded by Dionne Warwick, its lush orchestration and sophisticated chord progressions exemplify Bacharach’s signature style, blending pop, jazz, and soul. The song’s poignant lyrics about love and loss resonate universally, elevating it beyond its era. Its versatility is evident in covers by artists like Luther Vandross and Barbra Streisand, cementing its place in the Great American Songbook.

    The song’s enduring presence in film, television, and live performances underscores its cultural significance. Bacharach’s innovative composition, paired with David’s heartfelt storytelling, creates a piece that transcends generations, embodying the emotional and musical qualities of a standard. Its lasting impact and universal appeal solidify A House Is Not a Home as an American classic.

    Born Delloreese Patricia Early in Detroit’s Black Bottom neighborhood on July 6, 1931, Della Reese grew up in a working-class family with a steelworker father and cook mother. She began singing gospel in church at age six, honing her blues-jazz style amid economic hardship. After her mother’s 1949 death, she dropped out of Wayne State University to support her ailing father, taking odd jobs like truck driving before leaving home over family discord. Performing in local clubs, she shortened her name and toured with Mahalia Jackson as a teen, launching her career.

    By the 1960s, signed to RCA Victor after Jubilee success, Reese transitioned to pop standards. She recorded Burt Bacharach’s “A House Is Not a Home” on her 1967 ABC album On Strings of Blue, infusing it with soulful depth; conveying a sense that she has a deep understanding of heartbreak.
