    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.

    "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.

    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

    EVERY MOMENT IN business happens only once. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won’t create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. - Peter Thiel

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Today at 11 AM/ET we update our understanding of best practice literature relevant to the information and communication technology enterprises in education communities.  Our online meetings coincides with the day of two IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.   Starting 2023 we have begun to break down our coverage of information and communication technology embedded in campus buildings into two modules - Infotech 200 and Infotech 400.

    “Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people.

    Let your memory be your travel bag.”

    -- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (From "The Gulag Archipelago")

    Today we explain our collaboration with other education settlements in the US and other nations.  We conform to participation requirements set by ANSI US Technical Advisory Groups to the International Organization for Standardization but we also have liaison with other universities in the European Union who conform to the participation requirements of their own national standards bodies.
