Celeste from My Friend thinks I’m Super Mom Blog tagged me in a post which I’m only doing now (I know, I suck at schedules even though I try really hard to stick to them). I’m delayed, but I thought this would be a great post to start celebrating 2-years of blogging!
Get to know me – Shan Vijendranath
1. Are you named after someone?
No, my dad (passed away when I was 8) thought Shanêy was a unique name but the truth is many people have no idea how to pronounce it. People end up calling me “Shane-nee” instead of “Sharney”. The spelling is different and the ê changes the pronunciation. I wish I had an easier name to pronounce – so I just shortened my name to “Shan“.
2. When was the last time you cried?
Uhm, I feel like crying almost every day and I have no idea why! I’m so emotional at the moment. I think it’s because I’m trying to balance work, being a wife and 2 kids.
3. Do you have kids?
Yes, a 3-year-old daughter named Kitana and a 2-month-old son named Kiaan.
4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
Of course. 😛
5. Do you have a guilty pleasure?
Too many! Loooove Bar one and banana waffle from Milky lane and almost every dessert from Signature Resturant (Morningside – Johannesburg).
6. Do you like handwriting?
I loved my handwriting in school (is that weird)? But now I write like a preschool child because I use the computer every day.
7. What is your favorite cereal?
Rice Krispies.
8. What is the first thing you notice about people?
Nose. LOL
9. What color are your eyes?
Brown.
10. Scary movies or happy endings?
Definitely happy endings! I’m a sucker for romance.
11. Favorite TV show?
Big Bang Theory, Vampire Diaries, CSI, Shield and started watching SuperGirl.
12. Summer or winter?
I used to love summer, but now I wouldn’t mind winter. Don’t really have a favorite.
13. Hugs or kisses?
Hugs! 🙂
14. What’s the furthest you’ve been from home?
Sri Lanka.
15. Do you have special talents?
No. 🙁 Wish I could sing!
16. Where were you born?
St Augustine’s hospital in Durban.
17. What are your hobbies?
Does blogging count? I love movies, travel, and dancing. I started dancing at a young age and won some school competitions. 😛
18. Do you have any pets?
A Koi fish. 😀
19. Favorite movie?
Wow, this one is hard because I have a few. I love my Bollywood movies and a few Hollywood.
20. What color is your car?
Volcanic Orange – Mini Cooper S.
21. What did you want to be when you grow up?
Economist. No idea why!

Domestic copper scrap market Copper has been a valuable and widely used metal for thousands of years. It has been used in everything from ancient weapons and tools to modern electronics and renewable energy technologies. As we move towards a more sustainable future, copper is becoming an increasingly important metal for a number of reasons. One of the primary reasons why copper is considered a metal of the future is its use in renewable energy technologies. Copper is used in solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles. In fact, the amount of copper used in electric vehicles is significantly higher than in traditional gasoline-powered cars. This is because copper is an excellent conductor of electricity and is needed to make the motors and batteries that power electric vehicles. Copper is also a key component in the development and deployment of energy storage systems. As we shift towards a more decentralized energy system, energy storage technologies like batteries and pumped hydro storage will become increasingly essential. Copper is needed to make the wiring, connectors, and electrodes that make up these systems. In addition to its use in renewable energy technologies, copper is also an important metal in the construction industry. Copper is often used in plumbing systems, roofing, and electrical wiring. It is also a popular choice for architectural accents and decorative elements. One of the unique properties of copper is that it is fully recyclable. This means that when copper products reach the end of their useful life, they can be melted down and reused indefinitely. Recycling copper requires up to 85% less energy than mining and refining new copper, making it an economically and environmentally sustainable choice. Despite its many benefits, there are some challenges associated with the mining and production of copper. Mining can have a significant impact on the environment, particularly if it is not done responsibly. In addition, copper prices can be volatile, making it difficult for producers to plan and invest in new projects. Despite these challenges, the future of copper looks bright. As we move towards a more sustainable and electrified future, copper will play an increasingly crucial role in powering our homes, transportation, and businesses. Its versatility, durability, and recyclability make it an invaluable metal for the 21st century and beyond Metal recycling education Copper scrap recycling company Copper scrap value extraction Copper scrap sorting technologies Copper scrap reception Metal export compliance
Copper scrap inventory forecasting Copper is a naturally occurring metal that can be found in soil, water, and rocks. It is an essential nutrient in small doses, but when ingested in high quantities, it can pose a health risk. Copper can enter the environment through natural sources, such as erosion, or from human activity, such as mining operations or the use of copper-based pesticides. One of the main health risks associated with copper in the environment is its potential to contaminate water sources. Ingesting high levels of copper through drinking water can lead to gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Long-term exposure to copper in drinking water can also increase the risk of liver and kidney dysfunction. In addition to the health risks associated with copper in drinking water, exposure to copper dust or fumes in the workplace or during industrial processes can lead to respiratory problems, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Prolonged exposure to high levels of copper can even lead to copper poisoning, which can cause a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, headaches, and seizures. While copper is an important nutrient, it is important to be aware of its potential health risks when present in high concentrations in the environment. Steps can be taken to minimize exposure, such as using copper-based pesticides only when necessary and ensuring proper handling and disposal of industrial waste. Regular testing of drinking water sources can also help identify and address any potential contamination Regulatory compliance for metal recycling Copper scrap purity testing Copper scrap trading company Copper wire rod recycling Copper scrap industry publications Scrap metal repurposing strategies
