Natural cooling utilizes on-site energy, available from the natural environment, combined with the architectural design of building components (e.g. building envelope), rather than mechanical systems to dissipate heat. Therefore, natural cooling depends...

Which is "said" t...

As discussed in the relative question, it is possible for muggle parents to c...

Continuing my quest of translating Doctor Who, in "The God complex" I encountered a piece of dialogue which I can really understand. In the farewell scene at the end, Amy says
Well, I think this is about the washing up, personally.
