“Architectural Landscape with a Canal” 1783 / Hubert Robert
The construction industry is one of the largest employers in any community. Many labor unions in the United States support construction of education facilities. The so-called “multiplier effect” cited by economists means that when you add one person working in the construction industry you create two additional jobs in other sectors. With an annual construction spend of $75-10 billion, the education industry contributions mightily to the economy of host communities. Any spend at that rate — the largest non-residential building construction in the United States — presents opportunity higher effectiveness and better profitability for all sides involved in a construction project just by doing a few simple things well:
A paradigm shift is is well underway in the use of building information. Improved capital efficiency can be achieved with better data handling and information flows between project actors; falling into the wheelhouse of ISO TC 59; described in the links below:

While parts of the scopes of various subcommittees may already be familiar to construction professionals — Building Information Modeling (BIM), for example — the bulk of the work product remains fairly high-level. We will keep an eye on it.
You may do so on your own by communicating directly with ANSI’s ISO Team and/or either of ANSI’s US Technical Advisory Group Administrators:

“Evensong” is a traditional Anglican church service that includes hymns, prayers, and readings from the Bible. In the British university choral tradition, “Evensong” refers to a choral service that is performed by a university choir in a church or chapel setting. The most widely performed “Evensongs” in the British university choral tradition are those performed by the choirs of Oxford and Cambridge universities.
Other universities in the UK, such as Durham, St. Andrews, and Edinburgh, also have strong choral traditions and perform regular “Evensongs.” These services often include music by composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Henry Purcell, and other great composers of choral music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

“If ye love me” is a motet composed by the English Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis. It is a four-part choral work that is widely regarded as one of his most popular and enduring compositions. It was first published in 1565 in Archbishop Parker’s Psalter, which was the first musical work to be printed in England with music notation. “If ye love me” has since become a staple of choral repertoire and is often performed at weddings, funerals, and other occasions.
Quantum information science is a field of study that combines the principles of quantum mechanics and information theory to develop new methods for processing, storing, and transmitting information. It aims to use the unique properties of quantum systems, such as superposition and entanglement, to create more powerful and secure computing and communication technologies than are possible with classical systems.
In quantum information science, information is represented using quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in superposition states, allowing for simultaneous processing of multiple values. By entangling qubits, it is possible to perform operations on them collectively, leading to faster and more efficient computation.
The field of quantum information science was founded in the 1980s and 1990s by a number of researchers who realized that the principles of quantum mechanics could be used to develop new methods for processing, transmitting, and securing information. Some of the key figures who are credited with founding the field of quantum information science include:
These and other researchers made significant contributions to the development of quantum information science, and the field has since grown to encompass a wide range of topics, including quantum cryptography, quantum communication, and quantum sensing, among others.
