    2024.09.10

    Illumination technologies have had a pattern of consuming about 35 percent of building electrical energy use.  That number has been pressed downward with the expanded application of LED luminaires and occupant responsive controls; much of the transformation hastened by the IEEE, IES and ASHRAE best practice catalogs.

    Today we run through the development status of these products with specific interest in exterior illumination best practice.  This topic also is covered in the 4 time monthly meetings of the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee.

  • Paraskevidekatriaphobia

    All day
    2024.09.13

    The formal Latin name for the fear of Friday the 13th is “paraskevidekatriaphobia.” This term combines the Greek words “Paraskeví” (meaning Friday) and “dekatreís” (meaning thirteen), with “phobia” (meaning fear).

    Etymology:

    • Paraskeví (Παρασκευή): Greek word for Friday.
    • Dekatreís (δεκατρείς): Greek word for thirteen.
    • Phobia (φοβία): Greek word for fear.

    This term was coined to describe the specific fear of this particular date, which is considered unlucky in various cultures. An alternative term sometimes used is “friggatriskaidekaphobia,” which incorporates “Frigg,” the Norse goddess for whom Friday is named.

    For more detailed information, you can refer to the sources discussing the psychological and cultural aspects of this phobia:

    Kurtosis might seem like a purely statistical concept, but it has practical applications in various fields that can be relevant to everyday life:

    1. Investment and Finance: Investors use kurtosis to assess the risk of asset returns. High kurtosis in financial returns can indicate a higher probability of extreme outcomes (both gains and losses), which is crucial for risk management and portfolio optimization.
    2. Quality Control: In manufacturing, kurtosis can help detect defects in products. High kurtosis in the measurements of product characteristics can indicate a high number of outliers, suggesting potential issues in the production process.
    3. Environmental Studies: Environmental scientists use kurtosis to analyze data distributions in climate studies, pollution levels, and other environmental measurements. Understanding the distribution can help in identifying extreme events or outliers that could be significant for policy and decision-making.
    4. Healthcare: In medical research, kurtosis can be used to analyze the distribution of health-related data, such as the occurrence of diseases or the effectiveness of treatments. It helps in understanding the variability and outliers in the data, which can be critical for clinical decisions.
    5. Marketing and Customer Analysis: Businesses use kurtosis to understand consumer behavior and preferences. High kurtosis in customer satisfaction scores, for instance, might indicate a small but significant number of highly dissatisfied or highly satisfied customers, prompting targeted actions.
    6. Education: In educational assessments, kurtosis can help analyze the distribution of test scores. High kurtosis might indicate a few students with exceptionally high or low scores, which could be important for understanding the effectiveness of teaching methods or the difficulty of the test.

    In essence, kurtosis helps in identifying the presence and impact of outliers in various types of data, aiding in better decision-making and understanding of the phenomena under study.

    “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

  • BYU Philharmonic “Poet and Peasant Overture”

    The “Poet and Peasant Overture” by Franz von Suppé is one of the composer’s most famous works, often performed independently of the operetta it originally introduced. Composed in 1846, the piece is a bright and lively orchestral overture that captures the essence of Romantic-era music.

    The overture is structured in several contrasting sections, reflecting both the pastoral and more dramatic elements suggested by the title. It begins with a solemn, slow introduction, featuring a solo cello that evokes a sense of rustic, poetic nostalgia. This is followed by a lively and brisk allegro, representing the “peasant” aspect with its energetic, dance-like rhythms. The music alternates between lyrical, melodic passages and fast-paced, spirited sections, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience.

    The “Poet and Peasant Overture” showcases Suppé’s talent for blending melodic richness with lively orchestration, making it a favorite in concert halls and a staple in light classical music repertoire. Its evocative themes and vibrant energy make it a quintessential example of the Romantic overture, blending storytelling with musical brilliance.
