References to fish as a Honey Badgerfood item are rare, but we observed a Honey Badger capturing and carrying offa large African Sharptooth Catfish Clarias gariepinus in a drying lagoon of theOkavango Delta in Botswana. Such fishing by Honey Badgers likely occurssomewhat regularly where opportunities present themselves through theirgeographic range

The objective is to quantify energy intensity of the house by creating and optimizing a parametric computer energy model. The procedure described in this paper provides a detailed outline of the energy modeling process with accompanying results. The goal is to advance the understanding of the performance of Modernist icons, offering insight into sustainable building strategies in use before the advent of contemporary technologies. The present study is part of a larger project to create a knowledge base of the environmental performance of iconic homes. In addition to adding knowledge to the two disciplines, Building Science and Architecture, analytical studies using the digital model are intended to aid property administrators in evaluating the economic realities of retrofitting and upgrading opportunities as well as provide information about energy saving chara...
