“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees,
just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction
— that life was beginning over again with the spring.”
–F. Scott Fitzgerald, (‘The Great Gatsby’ 1925)

    “He who does not speak foreign languages
    knows nothing about his own.“

    — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    Here’s a rough breakdown of the top languages on the web:

    English: 55.4% – Russian: 6.6% – Japanese: 5.4% – Spanish: 5.2% – Chinese: 4.6%

     

    One of the most contentious aspects of best practice discovery and promulgation in any domain, and no less so in educational settlements, is an agreed-upon vocabulary and shared understanding.  As we explain elsewhere in this history, when a counter-party disagrees with you, he simply switches out the vocabulary — i.e. changes definitions or adds or subtracts from the traditional meanings of things.  So we approach this topic several times a year to confirm our bearing on the meaning of things.

    We observe National Poetry Month in the United States and Canada every year with an inquiry into changes in the (meaning of) definitions at the foundation of best practice literature; frequently the subject of sporty debate among experts writing codes and standards for the built environment of education communities.

    In the United Kingdom, National Poetry Month is celebrated in October, and it is known as “National Poetry Day” which has been observed since 1994. It is an initiative of the Forward Arts Foundation, which aims to encourage people to read, write and perform poetry.

    Other countries also have their own poetry celebrations, such as World Poetry Day, which is observed annually on March 21 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry worldwide.

    In past years we used a Tamil mnemonic because Tamil is the oldest surviving language and remains the spoken language of 80-odd million people of South Asia.  Alas, use of Tamil confounds our Wordpress content management system so in 2024 we began coding this topic in American English

    The first integrated circuit (IC) was invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958. Kilby’s invention laid the foundation for modern microelectronics. He was awarded the patent for the integrated circuit in 1961. His work was independently pursued by Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor, who also developed his own version of the integrated circuit around the same time. Noyce’s design eventually became the basis for the integrated circuits we commonly use today.

     

    Jack Kilby was awarded the patent for the integrated circuit on February 6, 1962.

    We follow the construction spend rate of the US education industry; using the US Census Bureau Construction Spending figures released the first day of every month.

    We encourage our colleagues in the education facilities industry to respond to Census Bureau-retained data gathering contractors in order to contribute to the accuracy of the report.

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