Two universes mosey down the street
Connected by love and a leash and nothing else.
Mostly I look at lamplight through the leaves
While he mooches along with tail up and snout down,
Getting a secret knowledge through the nose
Almost entirely hidden from my sight.
We stand while he’s enraptured by a bush
Till I can’t stand our standing any longer
And haul on the leash to bring him away.
He lives in the moment, which is good for him,
But when I see a stone wall, I think of Greece,
The sort of place he’d have a lot to say about—
The sniffable pots and broken statues,
The seas, the Ionic evenings all in a row.
But he just gives a yelp and comes running over
To smell my palm, and what can I do but
Smile and bend down to give him a hello?

‘O God Beyond All Praising’ was sung at Winston Churchill’s funeral on January 30, 1965, to the tune Thaxted by Gustav Holst. The hymn, with lyrics by Michael Perry, uses the same melody as ‘I Vow to Thee, My Country’, which was also associated with Churchill’s funeral, contributing to its patriotic resonance.
The consumption of raw milk, which is milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized, is a topic of debate and controversy. Advocates of raw milk claim certain potential advantages, while opponents highlight health risks associated with consuming unpasteurized milk. It’s important to note that health regulations and recommendations vary by region, and some places may have restrictions on the sale or distribution of raw milk due to safety concerns.
Advocates of raw milk often cite the following potential advantages:
Nutrient Retention: Some argue that the pasteurization process, which involves heating milk to kill harmful bacteria, may also destroy certain beneficial nutrients in milk. Proponents of raw milk claim that it retains more of its natural vitamins, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria.
Enzymes: Raw milk contains natural enzymes that may aid in digestion and nutrient absorption. Some people believe that these enzymes are destroyed during pasteurization, potentially affecting the milk’s nutritional value.
Probiotics: Raw milk may contain beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, which could contribute to a healthy gut microbiome. These bacteria are thought to have potential health benefits.
Improved Taste: Some individuals prefer the taste of raw milk, finding it to be richer and creamier compared to pasteurized milk.
However, it’s crucial to consider the potential risks associated with raw milk consumption:
Bacterial Contamination: Raw milk can harbor harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Listeria. These bacteria can cause serious foodborne illnesses, especially in vulnerable populations such as young children, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Health and Safety Concerns: Pasteurization is a process designed to kill harmful bacteria without significantly affecting the nutritional value of the milk. It has played a crucial role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases through milk consumption.
Regulatory Compliance: In many regions, the sale of raw milk is subject to strict regulations due to concerns about public health. Consumers should be aware of and comply with local laws and regulations regarding raw milk.
Before considering raw milk consumption, individuals should thoroughly research local regulations, consult with healthcare professionals, and weigh the potential benefits against the associated risks. It’s essential to prioritize food safety and make informed decisions based on reliable information.
“303.1.4: Accessory religious educational rooms and religious auditoriums with occupant loads less than 100 per room or space are not considered separate occupancies.” This informs how fire protection systems are designed.
“305.2.1: Rooms and spaces within places of worship proving such day care during religious functions shall be classified as part of the primary occupancy.” This group includes building and structures or portions thereof occupied by more than five children older than 2-1/2 years of age who receive educational, supervision or personal care services for fewer than 24 hours per day.
“308.5.2: Rooms and spaces within places of religious worship providing [Group I-4 Day Care Facilities] during religious functions shall be classified as part of the primary occupancy. When [Group I-4 Day Care Facilities] includes buildings and structures occupied by more than five persons of any age who receive custodial care for fewer than 24 hours per day by persons other than parents or guardians, relatives by blood, marriage or adoption, and in a place other than the home of the person cared for.
Tricky stuff — and we haven’t even included conditions under which university-affiliated places of worship may expected to be used as community storm shelters.
Public response to Committee Actions taken in Orlando in April will be received until July 8th.
Because standard development tends to be a backward-looking domain it is enlightening to understand the concepts in play in previous editions. The complete monograph of proposals for new building safety concepts for places of worship for the current revision cycle is linked below:
A simple search on the word “worship” will reveal what ideas are in play. With the Group B Public Comment Hearings now complete ICC administered committees are now curating the results for the Online Governmental Consensus Vote milestone in the ICC process that was completed December 6th. Status reports are linked below:
A quick review of the appeals statements reveals some concern over process, administration and technical matters but none of them directly affect how leading practice for places of worship is asserted.
We are happy to get down in the weeds with facility professionals on other technical issues regarding other occupancy classes that are present in educational communities. See our CALENDAR for next Construction (Ædificare) colloquium open to everyone.
