A map of radiation levels from Catalyst’s journey through Fukushima, created by data from a Safecast bGeigie attached to our crew car and carried off road. Radiation levels are in CPM (ionisation counts per minute) and µSv/h (microsieverts per hour)

The concept of free energy itself comes from physics, which means it’s difficult to explain precisely without wading into mathematical formulas. In a sense that’s what makes it powerful: It isn’t a merely rhetorical concept. It’s a measurable quantity that can be modeled, using much the same math that Friston has used to interpret brain images to such world-­changing effect. But if you translate the concept from math into English, here’s roughly what you get: Free energy is the difference between the states you expect to be in and the states your sensors tell you that you are in. Or, to put it another way, when you are minimizing free energy, you are minimizing surprise.

This definition prioritizes energy efficiency for a good reason. Energy from renewable sources is limited and is not available to the same extent in every locale and season. Although it is quite difficult for an inefficient building to be net zero without a massive renewable energy system, the situation looks quite different if you cut a building’s energy consumption by 50-80%.

Where hard-sided canisters are required, I carry one. My personal pick is the BearVault (lower-right corner), which has the best volume-to-weight ratio among economically priced models. (Andrew Skurka)

The global Aluminizing Galvanized Steel research report presents data collected from various regulatory organizations to assess the growth of every segment. In addition, the study also assesses the global Aluminizing Galvanized Steel market on the basis of the geography. It analyzes the macro- and microeconomic factors influencing the market growth in each region. The global Aluminizing Galvanized Steel market is further bifurcated on the basis of the regions Latin America, Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa too.

There was Ernest, who had a penchant for pastel Marks & Spencer cardigans and matching plimsoll shoes, and who was “as rampant and incorrigible a pedophile as you could ever imagine,” Friston says.

The market size portion covers market revenue along with the markets past growth and future projections. The analysis of development activities and new resolutions in the report will strengthen players’ geographical scope as well as help them grow their market dynamics and enhance competition among the players. The report also breaks down the segment of the product type & revenue, market price, and growth rate of key sectors, and also divides it through the end user.

Its very much like the SNC affair, the Justice Minister was to make the PMO decision, unless she didn’t want her job anymore. The Alberta paid Scientists that were consulted no doubt had ties (read funding) from the very group creating this madness! So when you are a Green Brainless Idiot and you say to the Scientist, do a study and tell me when you are completed, that Windmills/Solar Good , and make sure the report is done by next Tuesday. Oh and, you do agree Windmills and Solar are GREAT, right ? Because if you don’t tell me now. Your result is always Windmills/Solar good, unless you happen to be Raybould

Heat that doesn’t escape from a building in winter does not have to be actively supplied; similarly, in summer, the less heat that penetrates a building means the less cooling needed to keep the building and its occupants comfortable. This is the key principle of the Passive House Standard, which is mainly achieved by means of a well-insulated, airtight building envelope combined with appropriate mechanical ventilation. In this way, a Passive House dramatically cuts heating and cooling energy use. Thus, this standard makes a significant contribution to the energy revolution and climate protection.

LAST NIGHT’s PROGRAM: CHLORDANE No.2 ON SUPER-BAD LIST:1953 daily newspaper says “Argentine ants to be eradicated from metropolitan area by end of March and Auburn within a fortnight. We have ringed all areas free of the ants with chlordane imported from the US. Suburbs not free are Auburn, Beaconsfield, Botany, Mascot, Millers Point, Randwick, Strathfield. Cost of eradicating is £30,000.” Mmmm
