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 will scan noteworthy releases of tax advantage financial instruments that finance this construction.

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.

Periodic review of the best practice catalogs that set the standard of care for security of education communities.    Less electrotechnical as with Security 100 and 200 and more Regulatory and management codes and standards; a great deal of which are self-referencing.

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983)* is set in a Japanese POW camp on Java in 1942 during World War II. The film explores the clash of cultures and moral codes between British/Allied prisoners and their Japanese captors under the imperial ideology of Bushido and unconditional loyalty to the Emperor. The Japanese officers, led by the traditionalist Captain Yonoi and the more pragmatic Sergeant Hara, view surrender as the ultimate dishonor and treat prisoners harshly, yet are themselves trapped by rigid military honor that forbids mercy or personal emotion.

The British prisoners, represented by the defiant Colonel Lawrence and the spiritually scarred Major Celliers, embody a Western individualism that baffles the Japanese command. Beneath the surface, the film critiques both Japanese militarism (which demanded suicidal obedience) and the hypocrisy of colonial empires that condemned Japanese brutality while ignoring their own.

The political heart of the story lies in the fatal incompatibility of two imperial systems during total war, where neither side can truly understand or forgive the other.  It offers some modest insight into why Americans eschew getting involved in the wars of other nations.

* Several trailers claim to the “Official” trailer.  History is not about what happened.  History is a story about what happened.
