The “Sugaring” Season

Vermont is the largest producer of maple syrup in the United States, and the maple syrup industry is an important part of the state’s economy and culture. Vermont maple syrup is renowned for its high quality and distinctive flavor, and many people around the world seek out Vermont maple syrup specifically.

The maple syrup industry in Vermont is primarily made up of small-scale family farms, where maple sap is collected from sugar maple trees in early spring using a process called “sugaring.” The sap is then boiled down to produce pure maple syrup, which is graded according to its color and flavor. Vermont maple syrup is graded on a scale from Grade A (lighter in color and milder in flavor) to Grade B (darker in color and more robust in flavor).

The Vermont maple syrup industry is heavily regulated to ensure quality and safety, and the state has strict standards for labeling and grading maple syrup. In addition to pure maple syrup, many Vermont maple producers also make maple candy, maple cream, and other maple products.

The earth makes “one” trip around the Sun in approximately 365.2425 days.  An additional day every four years helps synchronizes the calendar year with the solar year — assuming a perfect circle.  Alas, the orbit is far from circular — it is elliptical and eccentric — thus confounding assumptions about climate change.

Today we revisit our earlier inquiries, readings and research with some consideration to how computer software deals with a leap year.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

Today we survey the broad sweep of the International Code Council catalog of best practice titles; incorporated by reference into public safety regulations in most of the United States.  This session will be a “survey” and “organizational” session when we limit detail and simply identify priority titles and the technical specifics in play over the next twelve months.

With the proportion of classroom occupancies receding, those spaces that cannot be offloaded onto the internet remain — collaborative creative spaces among them.  There are nearly 4000 colleges and universities with garment industry programs; nearly 600 in the United States.  These institutions include specialized fashion schools, as well as larger universities and colleges that offer fashion programs or courses as part of broader art, design, or business degree programs.  

Today we examine the safety and sustainability of the research and collaborative occupancies that enable this industry to train the next generation.  It is a cross-cutting topic that draws from many catalogs.
