“Being an artist means not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn’t force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come. It does come. But it comes only to those who are patient, who are there as if eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly silent and vast.”

Much like its role as a discoverer of new knowledge and as a large consumer in the energy sector, education communities have a significant role in food security research and as a consumer in its school lunch programs, dormitory, athletic facility and healthcare enterprises. Accordingly — in much the same way we follow the US Census Bureau’s monthly construction activity report — we follow a data point provided by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) as one of our stars to steer by.

Spoon University was founded in 2013 by Sarah Adler and Mackenzie Barth, two Northwestern University students. Living off-campus, they struggled to cook and navigate local dining options, noticing a lack of food media tailored to college students. They launched a food-focused magazine and website at Northwestern, which quickly grew to over 100 student contributors.
The platform expanded to other campuses, driven by student interest, becoming a crowd-sourced food network for millennials. By 2015, it raised $2 million in funding and now operates chapters at over 200 campuses worldwide, offering recipes, reviews, and food-related content

Michigan’s compulsory school attendance laws, outlined in the Revised School Code (MCL 380.1561), mandate that children aged 6 to 18 attend school regularly, ensuring access to education and promoting academic success. The law requires attendance in a public school, charter school, private school, or approved homeschool program until the child graduates high school or reaches 18. For children aged 6 to 16, attendance is strictly compulsory, with exceptions for those completing high school early. After age 16, students may withdraw with parental consent, but alternative education options are encouraged.
Parents or guardians are responsible for ensuring compliance, and non-attendance may result in truancy proceedings, including fines or court intervention. Schools must monitor attendance, report truancy, and provide support to address barriers like transportation or health issues. Exemptions exist for religious beliefs or specific disabilities, provided educational alternatives meet state standards. Local districts may enforce additional policies to support consistent attendance.

We observe academia’s summer hiatus until August 19th when we resume our daily 15:00 sessions on the topic of Data Center standards, regulations and codes. The front desk at our State Street Office will remain open but our daily colloquia will be replaced with “Evergreen” content dating back to 1993. See our CALENDAR.
Some jankiness in presentation will likely persist until early September as we upgrade PHP versions, widgets, and plug-ins to the latest versions of WordPress and Python. Content updates across all our platforms remains unresolved; described in the link below:
All that said, the content will not change but access and timeliness “may” be delayed by no more than 24 hours.
Written by William Walsham How in 1871 for the Church Hymns collection, this Christian standard is a celebration of God’s creation and love, set to the tune “Ruth” by Samuel Smith (1865). How, an Anglican bishop known for his pastoral work, crafted the hymn to reflect the joy of summer, with its vibrant imagery of glowing suns, flowing light, and nature’s voices uniting in praise.
The hymn’s four stanzas emphasize God’s mercy, eternal love, and guidance through life’s challenges, urging steadfast faith even in dark times. Its meaning centers on gratitude for divine providence, the beauty of creation, and trust in God’s presence, with the final stanza affirming hope in eternal light.
Published in over 239 hymnals, it remains a cherished expression of summer’s warmth and spiritual reassurance.
