We've just had our Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) redone, and our home's rating has gone from a C-grade to an A-grade! 🎉

All it took was getting some solar panels, a battery, new double glazing, and filled cavity wall insulation over a 10-year period. Oh, and crawling on my belly in a cramped loft space for several days to install an extra 200mm of glass wool throughout.

Women in the pulpit? Key Biscayne church may be caught in the crosshairs :

The move is yet another reflection of a cultural tug-of-war between congregations and their governing bodies amid national trends of declining church attendance.

Home heating bills could fall by £24bn if the efficiency of 13m homes was upgraded to at least a C rating under the energy performance certificate (EPC) scheme by 2030, from research by Citizens Advice.

Warmer homes could help avoid 6,000 unnecessary winter deaths every & save the #NHS about £2bn by preventing millions of people from developing respiratory conditions including asthma.

Russia's bloody war on Ukraine is reshaping Europe in profound and unexpected ways, and not just on the battlefield.

In Moldova, the European Political Community takes shape.

Yesterday leaders of 45 European countries met to discuss their collective security at the second summit of the European Political Community (EPC). It was held at the Mimi Castle in Moldova—just 20 kilometres from the Ukrainian border.

During a visit to #Moldova 🇲🇩 to participate in the #EPC Summit, President of #Ukraine 🇺🇦 Volodymyr #Zelenskyy held an informal meeting with the leaders of European countries within the coalition of fighter jets.

In particular, the talks were joined by Prime Minister of 🇬🇧 Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of the 🇳🇱 Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of 🇵🇱 Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of 🇩🇰 Denmark Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of 🇸🇪 Ulf Kristersson, Prime Minister of 🇧🇪 Belgium Alexander De Croo.

Moldova gears up for the European Political Community summit.

With the exception of Russia and Belarus, all of the European states are members of the European Political Community (EPC), which is meeting in Moldova on today to discuss solidarity with Ukraine.

The European Political Community #EPC which groups 27 EU members with 40 of their allies and excludes Russia and Belarus, chose Ukraine’s tiny neighbour Moldova for its second summit

"We are developing a 'fighter jet coalition' and offering a 'Patriot coalition.' (Admission to) EU, NATO, peace formula. All to protect our future," Ukraine's president said about the meetings' agenda.

A great article from the IPkat on the mess at the EPO on claim construction - a mess entirely due to some appeal boards not following the European Patent Convention (EPC).

Basically, some boards tried to justify decisions that clearly extend beyong the EPC by pretending there must be an accordance between the extent of the description and claim scope (despite other boards, and the actual evidence, showing this to be wrong).

Feeling grateful, feeling lucky. We had a free energy survey of our house as customers of Skipton Building Society. Kudos, that's good work by them.
We scored C.
Our neighbours (without any scientific use of data) mostly scored lower. So most of them have to pay relatively more to their energy company.
We simply had money and opportunity to upgrade our house (from E when we bought it). Lucky, eh?
