Magnum Joburg opened at The Zone in Rosebank on Saturday 1 November, in celebration of Magnum’s 25th Birthday. The pop-up store gives you the chance to customise your own Magnum and share the glamour of a quarter century of pleasure with fashion shows, jewellery displays and VIP events hosted by the country’s hottest celebrities.
Last week the store hosted an intimate master class with Danielle Postma from Moemas to celebrate the launch of Magnum’s Red Velvet Cupcake ice-cream.
It was a night dedicated to ice cream and all things sweet. It was the perfect opportunity for me to indulge and experiment with my favourite ice cream. I’ve been a huge fan of Magnum for years, it’s one of those treats that I just wouldn’t share with anyone.
Danielle was charged with customising some of the toppings which form part of Magnum Joburg’s decadent topping selection. She says she is passionate about creating memorable occasions for people and believes that you should always give your best to everything you prepare in the kitchen.
Whilst reminiscing about her career in food, Danielle effortlessly prepared 2 red velvet-inspired dessert creations using Magnum’s Red Velvet Ice Cream and various toppings from her kitchen at Moemas – smooth and delicious cream cheese icing, their infamous chocolate brownie, red velvet macaroons, crumbled red velvet cupcakes, honeycomb, salted caramel sauce, decadent dark chocolate sauce and a 5kg slab of white chocolate – all ingredients she believes best compliment the flavour of the Red Velvet Magnum.
She captivated the audience as she spoke of her experiences in London, where her first job was at Baker & Spice. World-renowned food guru Yotam Ottolenghi was her head chef, before he left to open his own restaurant, Ottolenghi’s. Danielle worked at B&S for 2 years and loved every second of her time in charge of the kitchen and working with the head chef maintain the restaurant’s high standards.
We had the opportunity to create our own desserts during the course of the evening. With Danielle as the main judge, three winners were chosen, each receiving a prize of a breakfast for 2 at Moemas. My husband won 3rd place (yaaay) with his Magnum PI creation.
It was a fun night filled with laughter and sweet conversations. An experience I will never forget.
Join Magnum and celebrate 25 years of pleasure your own way, by visiting Magnum Joburg at The Zone @ Rosebank until 8pm every day until 24 December 2014.
The ‘Make My Magnum’ experience costs R40, which includes your choice of 3 premium toppings.
Toppings available: caramelised popcorn, chocolate-coated honeycomb, goji berries, chocolate & pecan biscuits, strawberry gems, pink peppercorn brittle and popping candy.
Trust me you don’t want to miss this experience.

This would be such a great event to go to. I love Magnum ice cream.
What a fun event. I haven’t tried these bars before but have been meaning to.
Mmm… red velvet ice cream. That sounds so heavenly
I have never heard of red velvet ice cream. I’d sure like to try it though!
I’m sure this was a huge hit. I love the photos of the Magnums in their unsual Magnum looks. They were very creative.
I would seriously be in heaven! Especially since I kinda sorta have a slight obsession with Magnum bars.
Wow, congrats! Thats awesome! I always see Magnum, but have never tried it – those all look amazing though!
All things sweet? I have a sweet tooth. I should have been there. I’m drooling. 🙂
Everything looks so good. That mint crunch is AMAZING!
Very impressive! These look too good to eat!

Copper scrap value Copper is a widely used metal in various industries, including construction, electronics, automotive, and telecommunications. The price of copper is affected by several factors, including supply and demand, global economic trends, geopolitical events, currency fluctuations, and production costs. Here are some of the key factors that influence the price of copper: 1. Supply and demand: The basic rule of economics states that if the demand for a commodity exceeds its supply, the price will increase. On the other hand, if the supply exceeds demand, the price will fall. The same law applies to copper prices. The demand for copper is high due to its versatile properties, such as its ability to conduct electricity and heat, corrosion resistance, and ductility. The supply, on the other hand, is limited, as copper is a finite resource and mining requires considerable investment. 2. Economic trends: Copper prices are sensitive to changes in the global economy, especially industrial growth. High levels of industrial activity, particularly in emerging markets such as China and India, lead to increased demand for copper, boosting its price. Weak economic conditions can lead to reduced demand, causing the price to dip. 3. Geopolitical events: Political instability, conflicts, and natural disasters can affect the price of copper. For instance, mining operations may be disrupted or halted due to political unrest or natural disasters, leading to reduced supply and increased prices. 4. Currency fluctuations: The price of copper is determined in US dollars. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect demand and supply, and ultimately, the price. For example, if the US dollar strengthens against other currencies, copper prices may increase, as it becomes more expensive for buyers in other currencies. 5. Production costs: Mining copper requires significant investment in exploration, extraction, and processing. The cost of production, including labor, energy, and equipment, can affect the price of copper. If the cost of mining copper increases, producers may need to sell it at higher prices to remain profitable. In conclusion, the price of copper is influenced by a multitude of factors, making forecasting its future price challenging. However, keeping a close eye on trends in supply and demand, global economic conditions, geopolitical events, currency fluctuations, and production costs can provide insights into changes in copper prices Scrap metal reclaiming depot Secure copper scrap disposal Copper scrap import requirements Copper scrap quality assurance Copper scrap export destination Metal reclamation and reclaiming yard
Copper recycling company Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential in catalysis due to their high surface area, tunable pore size, and diverse chemical functionality. In this study, we present the preparation of a novel MOF, (Cu-N-COF), consisting of atomically dispersed copper sites coordinated to nitrogen and carbon atoms in a two-dimensional imine linked framework. These highly dispersed copper sites facilitated the efficient reduction of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to nitrogen monoxide (NO) in the presence of hydrogen (H2) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful incorporation of copper into the framework. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the Cu-N-COF framework was composed of interconnected two-dimensional sheets with well-defined pores, and the copper sites were homogeneously dispersed throughout the framework. Catalytic tests were performed under different reaction conditions to investigate the effect of temperature, pressure, and reaction time on the catalytic activity. Remarkably, Cu-N-COF showed high catalytic activity and selectivity toward the reduction of NO2 to NO, with a conversion rate of 100% and a selectivity of 95% under optimal conditions. The turnover frequency (TOF) of Cu-N-COF was nearly eight times higher than that of Cu dispersed on activated carbon and 2.3 times higher than that of CuO nanoparticles supported on aluminum oxide. The outstanding catalytic performance of Cu-N-COF could be attributed to the high dispersion of copper sites and the synergistic interaction between nitrogen, carbon, and copper atoms in the framework. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the active intermediates were coordinated to the copper sites and could be easily reduced by H2 assimilated on the nitrogen atoms in the framework. In conclusion, we have successfully synthesized a novel MOF with highly dispersed copper sites for efficient reduction of NO2 to NO. This work provides a new strategy for designing highly efficient and selective catalysts based on atomically dispersed metal sites in MOFs Metal waste recovery operations Copper scrap market Copper scrap processing technologies Copper scrap reprocessing Copper scrap collection center Scrap metal reclaiming and reprocessing
