World Baking Day

If you asked me last year this time: Would you bake with your toddler in the kitchen? I would have said no immediately! Trying to bake with a toddler is like cooking without cleaning. Things everywhere and of course you and baby get messed. I was surprised when Stork contacted me a few weeks back, asking me if I would like to join their World Baking day initiative. Without thinking, I said yes! I love baked goods and I thought to myself: ‘a little baking won’t harm anyone’. To be honest I’m not the best baker. I grew up watching my mom and aunts bake, I used to be the kid who would sneak the freshly baked biscuits in my pocket. I tried baking before, some worked while others flopped. Let’s just say Vije calls my fondant a flopdant ha-ha! 1200px-Chocolate_Chip_Cookies_-_kimberlykvStork sent my goodies to bake in style. Yes it was a VIP treatment. It was an afternoon in the Vijendranath’s household and like most days I was in my pjs making Kitana sleep. The bell rings, Vije comes in and says: “Stork is here with cameras”!! Omg I freaked out… Hello I’m in pjs! Uh where’s my brush. Wait lipstick… Nevertheless I went out after a quick change of clothes and was welcomed into the stork world by 2 well groomed gentlemen who represented stork the best they could. 10171616_842069242474379_9167309341109287108_n They had a blue box filled with ingredients for me to bake biscuits for World Baking Day. I felt like a kid at the candy store, so excited and blown over by this blue box. 10291867_845069268841043_4221885457866142443_n Kitana and I decided to wake up early on World Baking Day and start. Boy oh boy was it an experience I will never forget… My child had flour everywhere and dipped her hands into the mixture to taste. Our first batch wasn’t the best but it was edible. Kitana ate most of the cookies we made. We will be trying again this weekend with some supervision to make it less chaotic in the kitchen. 10368248_641528152593668_2643089958786507408_n For me World Baking Day just wasn’t about baking something, it was about memories and love shared between everyone in the kitchen. Thanks to stork, Kitana and I created our first baking memories together. It was a morning filled with laughter and joy. Thank you Stork and World Baking Day for an eventful morning, you can count me in for next year. Please have a look at their website for many great recipes and let me know if you baked on Sunday. 10306231_644552988957851_7596829330592331865_n

  23. Copper scrap safety measures Copper wire can conduct electricity efficiently and safely, but it is not suitable to use as a fuse wire because of its low melting point. A fuse wire is designed to break and disconnect the circuit in case of an overcurrent or short circuit, which can damage devices, cause electrical fires, or pose a risk to people’s safety. When too much current passes through a fuse wire, it heats up and melts, interrupting the flow of electricity. The fuse wire must be able to handle the normal electrical load without melting, but it should melt quickly if an abnormal current surge occurs. Copper wire has a melting point of 1085В°C, which is too high for most applications. In contrast, a typical fuse wire made of materials like tin, lead, or alloys has a melting point between 100В°C and 250В°C, depending on the current rating and environment. Using a copper wire as a fuse wire could cause several problems. Firstly, it may not break quickly enough to protect the circuit, device, or user from the effects of a fault. Secondly, it may not produce a visible indication that the fuse has blown, making it difficult to identify and troubleshoot the fault. Thirdly, it may potentially cause a fire if the copper wire becomes heated to its melting point. Therefore, it is critical to use appropriate fuse wire material that is safety-approved, correctly rated, and installed correctly according to standards and regulations to ensure reliable protection and prevent electrical hazards Metal reclaiming and recycling Copper scrap sorting Copper extrusion recycling Copper granules production Scrap Copper collection Scrap metal treatment

  24. Copper scrap fabrication Copper is one of the most important metals in the world, playing a crucial role in electrical infrastructure and renewable energy technologies such as wind, solar, and electric vehicles. However, concerns are mounting over a potential supply shortage of copper in the near future. Many experts predict a significant gap between demand and supply, which could disrupt the energy transition and have profound implications for the global economy and society as a whole. According to recent research, the demand for copper is expected to skyrocket in the coming years, driven by the rapid expansion of the renewable energy sector and the electrification of transport. For example, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the number of electric cars on the road will reach 320 million by 2040, up from just 2 million in 2016. Similarly, wind and solar power are expected to account for more than 50% of global electricity generation by 2040, up from less than 10% in 2015. However, this increased demand for copper could outstrip the available supply, leading to higher prices and potential supply shortages. Some analysts predict that the copper market could experience a significant deficit of up to 15 million tonnes by 2035, equivalent to almost 10% of current annual production. This looming supply gap is due to a combination of factors, including declining ore grades, limited new discoveries of copper deposits, and a lack of investment in exploration and mining. Moreover, mining companies are facing increasing social and environmental pressures, as well as stricter regulations, which may constrain their ability to expand production. The implications of a copper supply shortage could be far-reaching, affecting not just the renewable energy sector and electric vehicles, but also the broader economy. Copper is used in a wide range of industries, including construction, electronics, telecommunications, and manufacturing. A shortage could lead to higher costs for goods and services, slower economic growth, and potential disruptions to supply chains. To avoid a potential copper crisis, experts suggest that the industry needs to invest in new mining technologies, improve efficiency and productivity, and increase exploration and development of new deposits. Governments could also play a role by providing incentives for green mining practices and promoting recycling and circular economy models. In conclusion, while the energy transition is driving increasing demand for copper, a potential supply shortage could pose a significant challenge. The industry and policymakers need to take action to address this issue and ensure a sustainable supply of copper for the future Scrap metal reclamation facility Scrap copper warehousing Copper scrap recovery process Copper carbonate recycling Copper scrap suppliers Metal waste reconditioning
