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.
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.

Today we run a status check on public consultations released by ANSI-accredited and finance industry consortia whose involvement affects the cost of US education communities. Ahead of quarterly county elections we examine a few tax-free bond referenda on ballots across the US for insight into the money flow through education communities.
Having the statue of the great Adam Smith, standing just outside of my office. I overhear many a conversation taking place. He seems beloved by our international students & visitors, yet, little known by very many at home – hopefully, this changes that! pic.twitter.com/6wYkvxMtxW
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.
