    Because of the coincidence of the developmental milestone of both the IEEE National Electrical Safety Code and the NFPA National Electrical Code we dedicate the coming period to advancing electrotechnology standards, with target completion by April 9.

    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.

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

    — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

     

    “The Tower of Babel” 1563 / Pieter Bruegel the Elder

     

    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.

    Attention Is All You Need | Ashish Vaswani, et. al

    We begin 2025 by breaking down this topic into four sections

    Language 100: Survey of vocabulary in the standards catalogs relevant to building and managing education settlement real assets; including legal terms.

    Language 200: Electrotechnology standard catalogs; including computer programming languages.

    Language 300: The English as the language of science and innovation; the birthplace of computing and programming, the internet’s native tongue, standardization & open source development; etc.

    Language 400: Reserved


    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

    Today at the usual hour we review the literature that sets the standard of care for prevention, response and resilience of the education facility industry to storms, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and all other disasters.  We will examine a selection of court filings that should inform how facility managers should prepare and respond to disasters, but also identify gaps in best practice literature and (possibly) key in proposals for how those gaps may be removed.

    Pablo Picasso, Mother and Child, 1963

    In the United Kingdom, Mother’s Day, often called Mothering Sunday, is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is tied to the Christian calendar rather than a fixed date like in the US. For 2025, Easter Sunday is on April 20, and Lent begins 40 days earlier (excluding Sundays), placing the start of Lent around March 5. Counting forward, the fourth Sunday of Lent will be March 30. So, Mothering Sunday in the UK in 2025 will fall on March 30. It’s a day with historical roots in the church, originally about returning to one’s “mother” church, but now it’s a time to celebrate moms with flowers, cards, and family gatherings.

    “For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man

    standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

    — Paraphrase by Winston Churchill

    University endowments are comprised of money or other financial assets that are donated to academic institutions. Charitable donations are the primary source of funds for endowments. Endowment funds support the teaching, research, and public service missions of colleges and universities.  In the case of endowment funds for academic institutions, the income generated is intended to finance a portion of the operating or capital requirements of the institution.  Today we will pick through few reports where safety and sustainability claims are listed and described.
