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

    — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    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

  • Building “Backup” Electric Power Systems

    2024.05.07

    You are welcomed to join our review of backup power systems (customer-level).  Although the term “backup” is not used in the codes and standards that govern electrical power safety and reliability, “backup” is a term of art widely used in design and field practice.   Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

    Florence Nightingale is best known for her pioneering work in the field of nursing during the Crimean War (1853-1856). She led a team of nurses to the military hospital in Scutari, Turkey, where they improved hygiene, sanitation, and overall medical care for wounded soldiers. Nightingale’s efforts reduced the mortality rate in the hospital by two-thirds and helped establish nursing as a profession. She became known as “The Lady with the Lamp” due to her habit of making rounds at night to check on her patients. Her work during the Crimean War revolutionized the field of nursing and laid the foundation for modern nursing practices.

    Today at 15:00 UTC we review the consensus products that set the standard of care for nursing school instructional and clinical training facilities.   Open to everyone.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

  • Move Out Recycling
    11:00 -12:00
    2024.05.23

    The Impact of E-Waste / Student Art Guide

    Moving from student accommodations presents challenges to host municipalities.

    Certain requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”.

    Today at 11 AM/E we examine the state of best practice literature – including government regulations — that apply to education communities.
