Post-Easter in spirit “The Call” is the fourth song in Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs (1911). It sets a poem by the 17th-century English poet and Anglican priest George Herbert (from his 1633 collection The Temple). “Americans are fed up sacrificing its young to defend the borders of other nations; time to spend our precious blood and treasure defending our own” “Grief” Anna | Anna Ancher (1859 – 1935) https://t.co/zWMm4IEKEK pic.twitter.com/jrxQLZbYfR — Standards Michigan (@StandardsMich) May 26, 2024 Veterans & fallen soldiers – Memorial Day 🧵 1.

The next edition is scheduled for August 29-31, 2025, with the main event, including the famous group photo, on Sunday, August 31, 2025. Activities are held primarily in Spoorpark, Tilburg, and the city center. Other redhead festivals include: World Redhead Day: Celebrated globally on May 26, 2025, focusing on empowering redheads. National Redhead Day (Love Your Red Hair Day): Observed on November 5, 2025, mainly in the U.S. and other countries, with events like photo contests and gatherings. Redhead Celebration Day at Hellerick’s Family Farm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, typically held in spring (exact 2025 date not specified). Irish Redhead Convention in Dublin, Ireland, often held in August, though specific 2025 dates are not confirmed. Note: Some sources, like posts on X, incorrectly mention Breda, Netherlands, or Dublin, Ireland, as the main Redhead Festival location. The primary event is now in Tilburg, and Dublin’s convention is separate. Always check official festival websites for the latest details, as dates can change. #StrangeHabitsIKeep meeting with new redhead friends! @TheRedheadDays August 29-31 #WhatMakesPhotosSpecial pic.twitter.com/0ugt3hRNRv — 📍Redhead Days Festival (@TheRedheadDays) August 19, 2025 University of St Andrews | County Fifehttps://t.co/2jom7T1aRbhttps://t.co/MesMphD4x9https://t.co/0w1bbWXrZR — Standards Michigan (@StandardsMich) August 30, 2025 https://standardsmichigan.com/%e0%ae%ae%e0%af%8a%e0%ae%b4%e0%ae%bf-2/ The 2024 Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion is #Speller47 Bruhat Soma with 29 correct words.

Waste management, laboratory fixtures, recycling amenities — i.e. things are not nailed down — are on the agenda. Also we track elevated interest and market-making by conformity interests in the manufacturing and material recycling far up the value chain. In large research universities, it is common for building service personnel engaged in keeping facilities clean and tidy to constitute the largest proportion of permanent employees; thus some consideration must be given to occupational safety. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page. Moving from student accommodations presents challenges to host municipalities. Certain requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”. Today at 11 AM/E we examine the state of best practice literature – including government regulations — that apply to education communities. Whatever anyone wants to talk about.

Just 22 years ago,

I didn’t know a word of English

Figuring out everything alone
Now to get both MD & PhD
The highest degrees
Then go for neurosurgery
I am blessed

The calendar of Anglosphere educational settlements subtly shapes life of the mind, generally; and family and community life, specifically. Its cadence has roots in the cathedral schools and monastic learning communities of medieval Europe. Universities were not originally organized around modern “semesters.” Instead, the year followed the Christian liturgical calendar, agricultural seasons, food paths, daylight availability, and travel conditions.
In America educational calendars were nudged along by agricultural cycles. In the United Kingdom university calendars evolved into three major terms: Michaelmas in autumn, associated with arrival and beginnings; Hilary or Lent in winter, associated with discipline and study; and Trinity or Easter in spring, associated with examinations, outdoor rituals, music, rowing, gardens, and celebration.
Modern commencement traditions across the Anglosphere are descendants of medieval spring degree ceremonies. Academic gowns, hoods, processions, Latin phrases, formal dining, chapel music, and public recognition all preserve traces of the university as a scholarly guild and religious-civic community.
Before railways, electric lighting, and central heating, universities had to adapt to muddy roads, short winter days, limited candles, cold buildings, and agricultural obligations. Spring therefore became the natural season of culmination, reunion, athletic competition, courtship, and ceremony.
The medieval university was not merely a school but an educational settlement — a self-governing town of scholars, libraries, chapels, kitchens, workshops, residences, and dining halls. That settlement pattern survives in residential colleges, quadrangles, tutorial systems, common rooms, chapel choirs, and formal meals.
Anglosphere campuses retain this ancient emotional rhythm: autumn seriousness, winter inwardness, and spring release. That continuity helps explain why colleges and universities still feel culturally distinct from ordinary commercial society. (Relata: Gulliver Visits the Great Academy of Lagado)

We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
