This podcast concerns the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber) regarding an appeal and cross-appeal concerning anti-dumping duty, countervailing duty, and VAT on imported solar panels. The core issue revolves around the correct tariff classification of solar panels containing cells originating in Taiwan but assembled into modules in Vietnam, and whether any classification error could be corrected. A further point of contention was whether "special circumstances" existed to allow for the remission of duties. The tribunal ultimately dismissed both the appeal and the cross-appeal, upholding the First-tier Tribunal's decision that while Canadian Solar used the wrong classification code, special circumstances warranted the remission of the duties.

Thanks infinity to The Sun... Personally, God if I had to pin that word to something real that actually created us. Either that or cyanobacteria which grabbed the life niche for all of us. Using the universes tools properly. Nice one Stromatolites. We appreciate it 🤝🏼

This can still align with the spiritual world for me. If we evolve as physical beings then hypothetically we could also evolve as energetic entities that represent the physical niche that has been unlocked in the universe. So we had spiritual stromatolites that mastered the niche they needed to and eventually after an almost uncountable amount of changes modern creatures appear with all the incredible abilities they have such as Trees or Fungi or dolphins. Most talk about soul and humans includes us having exclusivity to soul. That misses the point for me. Ownership and ego I believe don't matter in the world of soul so there we find a system. One energy with a mirrored evolutionary path maybe.. Limited by reason we need our timeline because during this experience we cannot comprehend our infinite existence... However we may be the first beings that can become aware of what they are and how much of the universe you can control. maybe more physical upgrades come to closer align with the dimensions currently inaccessible. It's my belief that good intentions which can be thought of as behavioral evolution I suppose maybe will show us a way to a higher being and maybe more understanding and control of consciousness and it's ability to manifest physical reality... To add another possible relevance... Maybe after death individual consciousness doesn't matter. Some experts in consciousness theorise that everything including a rock has some sort of consciousness like it has gravity. So that would be a nugget that could suggest just one energy if consciousness does reflect every part of physical reality. We still.dont know because science hasn't explained consciousness yet

Key = 0.0033Hz x 100,000 = 333Hz (E when tuned to 444Hz A) In harmony with the The Sun!

Note: 0.0033Hz appears to be the highest measurable frequency the Sun emits

Tempo: 2.33 million seconds (One rotation of The Sun) / 100,000 = 23 seconds rounded we can allow that be represented by 23bpm - Loosely in time with the Sun or at least retaining our ratio although that rotation speed appears to be an average so this is a figurative analogous relationship but I still like it and delivers our MJ power. This in turn delivers a duration of 23 bars🤘🏽🫡🔆♾️

Lyrics

Dear Thermonuclear fusion beast
We dance with your gravity
Thanks for feast
Blind to giant magnet 'til aurora paint
You made real
We do sinner and saint

Once solar nebula
Dust dances friction
Gas parties hard
Soon nebula is fiction
The pressure too much
You light it up
Our gargantuan gravitational good

Ruled entropy increasing
Some planet your meeting
To the notable eight
Swinged eliptical orbitals snake
One billion by four
Cometh the water
It's #3 for the tree to be life's happy father

Good heliosphere sets our boundary here
Magnetic repulsion of matter my dear
Soothe Solar wind
You space peacock
Spin
170 moons win lunar flock

Inside your core 15 million C
Radiative zone then convective glee
Through photosphere then chromo same
Great corona sends us all our name

Nine parts hydrogen
Nearly one part helium
Then elements heavy make plasma from dreamdom
One hundred Earth's wide
All other mass 600 times
Thank you Dear Sun for starting life's line



If we make more saints in the future... In my pea head opinion they should be people for the work they did or love they have shown to the whole system... Like David Attenborough. He should be Earth Saint #1

Like St Paddy was great I'm sure but he didn't get rid of snakes from Ireland like people believed for 100s of years... We became an Island and that's how the snakes got wiped out... And it's probably too chilled for them to hang around here anyway. Not quite enough Sun for snakes.... Yet!

Solar Water Heater for Pools: The Eco-Friendly Way to Warm Your Swim

Heat pumps are taking the world by storm and Blatchford Carbon Neutral Community has both ground-source and air-source heat pumps, heating and cooling the homes of this super-sustainable neighbourhood.
Blatchford has a green building code and an amazing geoexchange district energy sharing system.

It all starts with 570 bore holes beneath a lake that feed into Energy Centre One where a massive heat pump further upgrades the temperature of the fluids before sending it off the the homes of Blatchford where heat pumps effortlessly heat or cool the homes.

Residents were skeptical at first, but nearly every person we talked to loves their heat pump and especially the fact that these units provide up to 700% energy-efficient air conditioning, which is a big help during those increasing summer heat domes.

One builder in Blatchford is using air-source heat pumps along with solar, which produces a near-zero utility bill.

402. The Magic of Heat Pumps in Blatchford Carbon Neutral Community

Interest in solar has exploded in recent years, but how do you figure out if you are getting a quality system at a fair price from a reputable installer?
Jordan Kruhlak and Beth Andrew both worked in the industry and know this so they started Glean Solar Brokers.

Glean helps their clients understand solar, they secure three quotes from reputable installers and then they help people evaluate the quotes.

And the best part is this is a free service.

The way it works is that approved suppliers don't spend as much money acquiring clients and instead pay Glean to do this and Glean acts in the interest of the solar consumers.

Glean even has a code of conduct for their solar companies.

We talk to Beth and Jordan and one of their clients in our story.

Welcome

I believe we should look for our own truth... especially nowadays given the shit people believe in-spite of information being more freely available... Fuck the people who live by lies and project that. Our truth is what will nullify them eventually. ALL music here is created with Actual Intelligence and no artificial intelligence was required.
Create yourself. I suggest not letting something else do it for you unless you are learning something from that process...

The track 'Art in Life' spells out my feelings on AI music and what it's doing to art nicely... 'Symbiosis' which has been connected to less shows my feelings on AI for us existentially in the near future. Most recently 'Actual Intelligence' takes the real power of AI and starts making that acronym we all now use and giving it a proper meaning. Real AI... ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE! If we are not careful... social media is laying the groundwork for AI to intensify this mystical control of us... We need to have a heightened awareness of this to take control back and not allow it to get worse...

I'll throw up the odd cover to promote an artist that has inspired me but I never monetise these obviously and don't ever leave them up for more then a few days. it's always just a poke of light with the renditions. It's these artists that founded me as a musician and writer so I like appreciating them from time to time. The covers are usually born from me trying to absorb them more deeply practicing them. A proper way to use old art unlike AI plagiarism...

Ok, last & by a long way least... here's what matters on SC to me the most...

... The other humans here 🫶🏽

Below are a few of the musicians and artists I have been lucky enough to get into musical bed with! If you are not here yet I'll update it as regularly as I think of it and thanks a million for sharing proper music with me. Be assured my input is always with my all so if you ever work and create with me you'll get the full TBD. I work very fast ordinarily so it's an easy peasy process for all...

Collaborations (please connect to these artists if you wish, thats what it's all about)
