They use furniture placement, lighting techniques, and carefully chosen accessories to draw attention to these unique selling points. They create a memorable and impactful impression on potential buyers by showcasing these features.

…the colossal screw up of Archie's birth announcement

I was not following the royals back then, so I am completely out of the loop with what was happening when Archie was born. There’s so much noise and theories littering this space, that it’s hard to delineate what is actually the screw up and where the theories start and how far plausible goes before it turns into crazy. Do you have a record or write-up you can point me to?

Totally okay if you want to just ignore this ask, though. I know this topic invites unhelpful inputs from people.

Hey, everyone, it's Wednesday! Guess what that means...yup, a super long research project to the dulcet sounds of Top Chef.

I think I'll just give you the whole timeline and then some since there's a lot of debate and discussion around both things.

The Pregnancy

October 12, 2018: Princess Eugenie marries Jack Brooksbanks. Meghan wears a dark navy dress and coat. Only the top buttons of her coat are done, causing immediate speculation that she's expecting.

October 15, 2018: Kensington Palace announces that Harry and Meghan are expecting and the baby is due in the springtime. The royal rota is informed by Jason Knauf over a cell phone in the airport, as they were already in Australia to begin coverage of the Sussexes' tour.

Now, usually when the palace makes these kind of announcements, there's a separate briefing for the royal rota with a few additional details for them to write about. In Rebecca English's article about the pregnancy announcement, she reveals that Meghan had had her 12-week scan, the baby is due in late April 2019, and that they were telling everyone at Eugenie's wedding. The article also reveals that Meghan will visit Tonga and Fiji despite the Zika risk (pregnant women are advised not to travel to areas with the Zika virus due to the risk Zika poses to their baby); it's a controversial decision.

October 15, 2018: Harry and Meghan are papped arriving in Sydney, leaving the airport. Meghan is holding two purple binders, leading to speculation that they are expecting boy-girl twins.

Pippa Middleton gives birth to her first child on October 15th (though it isn't announced for a bit), stealing some of the Sussexes' coverage.

October 15 - 31, 2018: Harry and Meghan are in Australia for the Sydney Invictus Games. They also tour New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji. There is a ton of gossip and tea about the tour. Meghan is also photographed with a very inconsistent baby belly - sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.

Also during this time (and into November) is the Sussex press tsunami when these stories were breaking:

"What Meghan wants, Meghan gets"

Meghan smells tastes eggs that aren't there

Meghan made Kate cry

Sussexes are moving out of Kensington Palace

The Sussexes' office is moving to Buckingham Palace; they'll be part of the resource pool that also represents Anne, Yorkies, Edward, Sophie, Kents, and Gloucesters.

Sussexes are leaving The Royal Foundation and setting up The SussexRoyal Foundation.

November 24, 2018: The palace announces that Harry and Meghan are moving to Frogmore Cottage. They will renovate the property from five staff apartments to ten bedrooms, a nursery, a gym, and a yoga studio.

December 18, 2018: Meghan makes a surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards to recognize Clare Waight Keller (her wedding dress designer) as the British Womenswear Designer of the Year. Allegedly she crashed the event unexpectedly. She is photographed groping her belly the whole time while on stage presenting.

December 25, 2018: During the Christmas walkabout after church, Meghan tells fans that she is "nearly there". It causes confusion because the palace had briefed reporters two months earlier that it was an April baby.

**Anon, this Christmas walk where Meghan says "nearly there" re the baby's due date is where it starts veering off the rails.**

January 14, 2019: Meghan, with Harry, visits Birkenhead for an away day. At the end of the visit when they are leaving, Meghan is observed by some to have lost her belly while developing a new bulge around her mid/lower thighs. (YMMV.)

January 16, 2019: Meghan visits the Mayhew Animal House during the day, in which some people claim to observe her belly folding in and then popping out and others claim to hear a loud popping noise when she stands up. (YMMV.) Later, in the evening, she attends a Cirque du Soleil performance at Royal Albert Hall. This is the night that, as she tells Oprah in March 2021, she felt suicidal and had been crying all day up until just before arriving at the Hall.

February 15 - 20, 2019: Meghan is in New York City to attend a baby shower thrown in her honor by Serena Williams. She stays at the Mark Hotel. Abigail Spencer merches Away luggage. Jess Mulroney and Amal Clooney are some of the guests. Markus Anderson unexpectedly shows up and allegedly, Meghan is upset to see him. There's a ton of paparazzi, which Meghan loves, and the Mark Hotel ropes off the sidewalk for her, which she also loves.

There is a CDAN blind about the baby shower, alleging that Meghan had asked (maybe demanded) the BRF for one but they refused because it's not what they do.

The baby shower causes a lot of questions. There's one instance where Meghan returns from a night out holding a large purse over her stomach area, which is unusual because in every photo since October, Meghan is always showing off her belly.

Meghan leaves NYC by a private jet via Teterboro Airport, assumed to be Amal Clooney's private jet.

This is the end of the Meghan/Amal friendship, as on March 15, 2019, Clarence House announces a partnership between Prince Charles and Amal Clooney establishing the Amal Clooney Award from Prince's Trust International.

February 23 - 25, 2019: Harry and Meghan are in Morocco for an official visit by request of the Foreign Office.

There's speculation that Meghan was planning to attend the Oscars (which are held on February 24, 2019) and allegedly, the BRF caught wind of it and created the Morocco tour to keep her focused on royal work.

Edited to add: After checking my spreadsheet, I realized I missed one - related to speculation/gossip about Meghan attending the Oscars, there’s additional speculation that the BRF planned the Morocco trip to force Meghan to come home from NYC. (I kind of suspect this may be the origin of “they took my passport” claims as told to Oprah because supposedly the palace was upset she had the baby shower and upset she’d gone out of the country to do so.)

March 5, 2019: When Harry and Meghan crash Charles's celebration of the 50th anniversary of his Prince of Wales investiture, Meghan tells people she is "nearly there" still, according to Us Weekly. Us Weekly also reports that a Sussex source had briefed them that the baby was due in the late March/early April timeframe.

March 14, 2019: Commonwealth Day Service. Kensington Palace indirectly confirms that this is Meghan's last appearance before the baby arrives and she is beginning maternity leave.

March 19, 2019: Meghan suspends her maternity leave to visit the New Zealand embassy with Harry to lay flowers in a tribute to victims of a mosque shooting. Meghan, who is photographed cradling her belly, is also photographed squatting down with knees and feet together, causing questions as some observe that it looks like her belly has completely disappeared.

April 2, 2019: Meghan, with Harry, is papped visiting an apothecary shop.

April 4, 2019: Harry and Meghan are confirmed to have moved into Frogmore Cottage.

The Birth

Note: All items italicized and in red are timings we learned after the fact. Items in "regular" font (not italicized and black) is the timing that happened live on May 6.

May 5, 2019, late in the evening: Meghan and Doria are driven to the Portland Hospital.

May 6, 2019, 5:26am GMT: Meghan gives birth after two epidurals According to Harry in Spare, it was a traumatic birth, potentially complicated, but an emergency c-section was not discussed with Meghan as Harry declined to tell her what was going on. Also, Harry gets high on laughing gas and the nurse disapprove.

May 6, 2019, 7:26am GMT: Harry, Meghan, and Baby Boy Sussex are home from the hospital (from Spare).

May 6, 2019, 1:30pm GMT: Sky News is selected as the pool broadcaster for the birth announcement when a Sussex spokesperson (probably Sara Latham) reaches out to Sky News to coordinate coverage for a statement Harry will make soon.

May 6, 2019, 1:50pm GMT: The palace announces Meghan has gone into labor and is at the hospital. Sky News has the exclusive story owing to the earlier conversation with Sussex representatives.

May 6, 2019, 2:15pm GMT: Harry records his statement about the baby's birth from a stable in Windsor. He speaks about the baby being born early in the morning. Horses make an appearance.

May 6, 2019, 2:37pm GMT: Harry and Meghan announce the birth of Baby Boy Sussex. The palace follows up with more details, including that the baby was born at 5:26am.

The palace's announcement raises questions, as the language used to describe the birth is different from the language used on all the other royal birth announcements.

The traditional birth announcement: {Title} has been safely delivered of a {son or daughter} at {time} today. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well. {signatures of medical staff} {date}

This language has been used for the Cambridges (George, Charlotte, and Louis), the Waleses (William and Harry), the Yorks (Beatrice and Eugenie), the Phillipses (Peter and Zara), the Edinburghs (Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward), the Brooksbanks (August and Ernie), and the Wessexes (Louise and James).

The Sussexes' birth announcement: The Queen and the Royal Family are delighted at the news that Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 0526am today. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well. 06 May, 2019.

Immediately causing questions was the verb choice "was" (versus "has been"). From a grammar perspective, "was" is used to describe something that had already happened at a specific point in the past. "Has been" is a verb tense used to talk about an ongoing event - something that started in the past but is still happening. Looking at the language in the birth announcements, and examining it through the grammar only:

When George's birth was announced, Kate was still in the birthing process but it was a safe delivery. Which makes sense; birth doesn't end when the baby pops out - there's afterbirth, there's the hormone evacuation (for lack of a better word), there's the organs moving back into place, etc. She's still in the hospital receving care.

When Archie's birth was announced, Meghan had already completed giving birth. She was no longer in the hospital, already at home.

Causing even bigger questions was the missing medical staff.

Reporters immediately begin asking questions about the timing of the announcements, where the baby was born, who delivered the baby, and why everyone was told she was in labor when she had already given birth.

May 6, 2019, 2:40pm GMT: Harry's pre-recorded statement with Sky News is broadcast. When he begins speaking, the chyron says "Meghan is in labor." After he announces the baby's birth "early this morning," the chyron changes to "Meghan has given birth."

May 7, 2019, 12:28pm GMT: Palace officials apologize for the bungled birth announcement but there are no explanations or clarifications made.

May 8, 2019: Harry and Meghan announce the baby's name, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. They have a photocall with the baby in St. George's Hall, Windsor Castle, in which Harry says the infamous quote "babies change so much in two weeks." Later, they take photos with The Queen, Prince Philip, and Doria.

The photocall and the photos aren't without controversy. Royal-watchers and Windsor locals pinpoint two: May 8th is actually a very wet and overcast day in Windsor, so how did they get sunlight streaming in through the windows? And second (admittedly this one I don't understand), there's a question about either The Queen's clothes or the timing of the photo - she's supposed to be at the Royal Windsor Horse Show? Something to do with horses? - that people are confused by.

May 9, 2024: Harry goes to The Hague for Invictus Games 2020 kickoff events. (It has echoes of Charles leaving Diana just hours after Harry is born to go play polo.)

Afterwards

May 12, 2019: Mother's Day in the US. The Sussexes post a picture of Meghan holding Archie's feet in a field of forget-me-nots.

May 17, 2019: Archie's birth certificate is released. Harry doesn't have the right title.

June 6, 2019: Archie's birth certificate is updated to correct Harry's title and change Meghan's name from Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex to Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.

June 8, 2019: Trooping the Colors. Meghan pauses her maternity leave to attend. She and Harry ride in a carriage with Kate and Camilla. Six things happen that everyone notices:

Meghan stares down Kate many times throughout the carriage procession.

When the royals are coming out onto the balcony for the flypast, Kate - carrying Louis (in his balcony debut) - walks out towards the right side of the balcony, by Andrew, while William veers to the left. William calls to Kate and she turns to join him, George, and Charlotte on the left side of the balcony. Harry and Meghan later come out on the right side, near to where the Cambridges would have been.

The Queen comes out onto the balcony and Meghan sees an opening to move in next to her, but then Andrew suddenly moves in, blocking Meghan. Anne moves in next to Andrew behind The Queen, effectively blocking the Sussexes from moving in.

When Meghan turns to speak to Harry, he sternly tells her to turn around. This happens twice. The second time, Meghan does an awkward shuffle to turn around and she starts rapidly blinking her eyes and clenching her jaw.

When The Queen is leaving the balcony after the flypast, Harry and Meghan bow/curtsy, suggesting that they were late arriving to Buckingham Palace before the parade to have properly greeted The Queen.

Meghan tries to speak to George as he passes by and he throws up a 'talk to the hand'-esque wave at her.

Allegedly, Harry and Meghan were set to have their own carriage at Trooping (as they did in 2019) but the BRF had concerns they would be booed and were thrown in with Kate and Camilla at the last minute. Allegedly, Harry didn't like this because he knew it was a demotion to go from their own carriage to riding backwards in someone else's carriage; when there's a group riding together, protocol requires the senior royals to face forward with junior royals facing backwards.

Also Meghan talks to herself.

I can't find a good video of the balcony so if anyone has one, please share!

June 17, 2019: Father's Day. The Sussexes post a new photo of Harry holding baby Archie. Harry is flipping everyone off and Archie's face is partially obscured.

June 27, 2019: SussexRoyal Instagram announces that the Sussexes will travel to South Africa in autumn. They indirectly announce that Archie will join them.

July 6, 2019: Archie's christening at Windsor Castle. Harry and Meghan decline to announce who his godparents are, citing privacy. The portraits are the first time we see Archie's face in full. They raise questions. Some people observe that the perspective/scale of William and Kate is off from the rest of the group. Others observe that Kate's chair is missing a leg. Others observe that the reflections behind the Spencer sisters and Doria are off.

Ahead of the christening service, William and Kate are papped driving into Windsor Castle. In the pap photo, both are wearing blue; Kate a blue dress or sweater and William a light blue casual shirt but in the released portraits, William is wearing a starched white shirt and Kate a pink outfit. There's some discussion that they changed at Windsor before the service but there's also something wonky going on with the metadata in the photos.

July 10, 2019: William and Harry play polo for charity. Kate, the kids, and Meghan attend. Meghan brings Archie. The lack of interaction between Kate and Meghan gets noticed quickly, as does Meghan seeming not to know what to do with Archie: she holds him for the whole outing, he seems poorly dressed (no hat or sun covering), and he doesn't move/Meghan doesn't change his position.

Allegedly, Meghan wasn't supposed to go to the polo match. Supposedly she had heard that Chelsy was there and hightailed it over with Archie to keep her man in line. (Yuck, I felt gross just writing that.)

July 14, 2019: Meghan breaks maternity leave again to attend the European premiere of The Lion King: Live-Action edition in London with Harry, who cancelled an event with the Royal Marines for this. Harry is caught on a hot mike pitching Bob Isner (Disney's CEO) about Meghan doing a voiceover.

July 26, 2019: According to The Sun, Harry and Meghan's neighbors in Windsor have been sent rules for interacting with the royals that include don't approaching the couple, speak only when spoken to, don't pet the dogs, and don't ask about the baby. Buckingham Palace denies that Harry and Meghan knew this was happening.

July 28, 2019: Meghan breaks her maternity leave again to guest-edit British Vogue's September 2019 edition, Forces for Change. There's controversy:

Allegedly Meghan was asked by the BRF if she was doing this and she kept telling them no.

Harry interviewed Jane Goodall for the edition, in which he made a comment that he and Meghan were only having two children for the environment. (The Sussexes eventually get some kind of award for this.)

Meghan interviews Michelle Obama over a lunch of fish tacos. It turns out that the interview was conducted over email.

Accusations of plagiarism, as an Australian magazine already did this something like this with a very similar front cover layout.

Also, just because: Inside Meghan Markle's disastrous attempt to edit Vogue magazine - new book 'Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors.'

And throughout July and August, Harry and Meghan are getting flack for racking up private air miles despite being environmentalists. They do four back-to-back private flights across Europe with Archie. On one of these trips, they meet David Sherborne, Elton John's lawyer and off to the lawsuit races we go.

The Queen invites them to Balmoral to join the family but the Sussexes decline, allegedly because Archie was too young to fly. (Mm-hmm, and then they take him on four flights to Europe.)

September 6, 2019: The Sussexes' itinerary for their Africa tour is released. As part of the tour, Harry will visit Angola and copy Diana's famous de-mining walk.

September 12, 2019: Meghan's maternity leave ends with an announcement introducing Smart Set, a capsule collection from her friends that benefit Smart Works. Meghan gives a speech that ends awkwardly when she says she needs to leave because it's "feed time."

September 23 - October 2, 2019: Harry, Meghan, and Archie travel to South Africa, Malawi, Angola, and Botswana. Meghan tries to merch Archie's clothes from H&M but it gets shut down pretty quickly. Archie's first official engagement is to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu, which SussexRoyal cringely calls 'Arch, meet Arch.' Meghan gives her infamous "no one asked me if I'm okay" interview in which she discusses her post-partum challenges as a "young mom" and her mental health distress. Harry gets in a tiff with one of the royal reporters, snapping at her "you know what you did" when she tries to ask a clarifying question.

Princess Beatrice announces her engagement on September 26th and it steals some of the Sussexes' coverage.

And after the tour (or on the last day of the tour? I don't remember and it's late), Harry announces that he's suing the British press and it is chaos.

November 7, 2019: Harry and Meghan attend the opening of the Field of Remembrance ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Camilla was supposed to join, but backed out at the last minute citing a cold. When Meghan is pictured in overly glamorous hair and makeup for the event, speculation begins that they are recording the work for a documentary and that Camilla pulled out to avoid being in the footage.

November 9, 2019: The royal family attends the Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall. Harry and Meghan are shoved into the back row behind a pillar, barely visible on camera. (It's a demotion, because in 2018 they were seated behind Camilla.)

November 10, 2019: Remembrance Day/Sunday. The Queen, Camilla, and Kate watch from the center balcony. Meghan watches from a side balcony between Sophie and Tim. She holds her composure at being excluded from the 'main' balcony better this year than last year (in 2018, she kept stealing weepy or vengeful looks (YMMV) at the center balcony while she was sidelined with the wife of the President of Germany) but she still clenches her jaw.

This is Meghan's final entry in the Court Circular (ever).

December 20, 2019: The Sussexes announce they will spend the Christmas and New Year's holidays privately in Canada.

November 17, 2019: Harry's last entry in the Court Circular before Megxit, suggesting he and Meghan peaced out to Canada shortly after this (I'm too lazy to look up if there were any papwalks or other private engagements - another day, maybe). His final events are January 16, 2020 (a rugby thing); Philip's funeral; the service of thanksgiving for the Platinum Jubilee; and The Queen's Funeral.

And if you made it this far: congratulations! My asks are back open.

The Summer it Came True

Pairing: Bangchan × black female reader named Kel

Summary: You loved him, and you never got to tell him, but now he's back.

It had been about 13 years since Chan left Australia to Korea to pursue his dreams of being a K-pop idol. He left the day you wanted to tell him how you felt about him. You woke up and got ready to see him only to realise that he was gone. He left just like that, no explanation, no call, no text, not even a letter. He was just gone.

You had no idea what he left for, and you received a rude awakening when you saw him performing with a couple of other boys on stage on TV after years of not having a trace of him. You already forgot about him (you didn't), so why did he have to show up now? Why was he even more handsome than before, and more importantly, why was he coming back to Australia?

You thought you had gotten over him but why did you still have feelings for him?

Disclamer: this work is from my imagination and it does not reflect the artist's behaviour in anyway. It's fiction so a lot of things may be a tad bit unrealistic lol. I will be posting this in parts/chapters. Chan is still an idol in this but I kind of left out the outside/idol world in this fic.

A/N: The first few chapters may seem kind of boring, but y'all have to stick with me, okay? I wanted to make this kind of slow burn, so if you stick with me for long enough, the story gets more interesting and a little spicy as we go along. i promise ♡.

Genres: Romance, fluff

Chapter 1

Word Count: 800

It was almost summer, meaning it was time for you to start getting ready to move into the beach house that your parents left you before they died. You were an only child, so everything they owned automatically became yours, they died when you were legal so you had no issues with the law on acquiring the properties including the million dollar clothing industry they left you.

How did you deal with your parents dying in a car crash and becoming the ceo of a company overnight at the age of 20? People tend to ask. The answer is: you don't know. You're 26 now, 6 years seemed to fly by like days, and you became more and more invested in the company, you grew to love it. You had no time for a lot of friends or romance as you were always working.

Maybe you didn't have time for romance because my heart still belonged to him. Your heart still belonged to Chan, the boy who vanished into thin air the day you wanted to confess your feelings for him. Call it an obsession. It probably was, but you hadn't been able to get him out of your head for years now, and you didn't know why.

Every time you thought about that day, you almost got tears in your eyes. You were only 13. He was your first love. How could he just leave like that without telling you anything?

Then you realised. He didn't owe you anything. Hell, you barely even spoke. Why did you feel so entitled? You guys were acquaintances at best. The last time you remember having an actual conversation with him was when your two families met on the beach one summer when you were twelve, and you were both forced to play together.

Other than that, it was just a simple "hey" or a wave every time you saw each other in school or in the neighbourhood. You weren't exactly the best of friends. You just had this embarrassingly huge crush on this man who probably didn't even remember your name.

You were supposed to be packing up your things to leave the suburbs of Sydney to your house on the beachside where you would take a break from the office while still working but this time with the serenity of an ocean view and the calming sound of the ocean waves. You were really looking forward to it.

For some reason, you weren't really in the mood to get packing, so you jumped on your bed and tuned the TV to an entertainment channel, and that was when you received the biggest shock of your life.

It was HIM. He was right there on your screen. The boy - wait, he was a man now. The man you couldn't shake off your heart and your mind was right there on your screen after twelve years of disappearing, and he was as beautiful as ever...

...

After getting over the shock of your life that day, you did a little research, and you found out that he was a K-pop idol in an eight member band called "Stray Kids" what a weird name you thought to yourself but they were a pretty big deal. They were superstars. You weren't surprised. Chan had a really amazing voice that you never got to compliment him on, and you knew he would end up pursuing what he loved one way or the other.

As if the shock of seeing him on stage performing with seven other men wasn't enough, they announced their first World tour, and the third stop was Sydney. HE WAS COMING HERE? HE WAS COMING BACK? You almost lost your mind for a few minutes.

Wait, why did you even bother? He was a famous celebrity now. He definitely didn't remember or care about the girl he built sandcastles at the beach with thirteen years ago. He probably had all the girls wrapped around his finger. He probably took multiple girls home every night. Bold of you to assume you'd be on his mind.

It was honestly pathetic for you to still think about him the way you did but you just couldn't get over him, his eyes that closed up whenever he smiled, his mouth corner dimples, his beautiful smile, his big beautiful nose, his contagious laugh that sounded like he was in need of air, the way he would always carry things for the female teachers at school, the way he always made sure ladies went first before he did and the way he donated blood to the hospital every once in a while. He was perfect but not for you. You had to forget about him.

You had to do it before he came back.

Next chapter

[seethestarlights]

just got back from the eras tour movie!! here are some thoughts/notes/things/idk etc:

before seeing the movie, i saw someone post that the movie didn't show the screen visuals enough and i absolutely agree

the stage was the real mvp of the movie!!! (as stated by my brother but i also agree)

i grinned so hard seeing paul and amos :')

there were two kids in the screening who were dancing at the front. at one point, one kid was doing cartwheels during tolerate it (???) and fell down making a very loud audible noise (dw the kid is fine) it totally ruined the mood though lmao

the stage visual for delicate was interesting and had a lot of implications that reaalllly had me thinking but that's a post for another time

one of the main things i was looking forward to was the transition from don't blame me to lwymmd and boy did it deliver

people left during the speak now era to go to the bathroom??? please show some respect to enchanted!!!

after the speak now era ended, my brother leaned over asked "is that all?" and was very disappointed we only had one song from speak now (he's a sparks fly stan)

my brother also kept giving me looks every time a song was shortened (he was also very disappointed about this)

also during blank space, my brother asked "what the deal with the bikes" and i did not have the energy to explain the joseph kahn lore about bikes (also wow i've been in this fandom for a while)

the dive was so lame and funny asdjhals taylor you're such a dork

so we saw the movie at gold class, which is where you can order food throughout the movie and staff bring it to you. during vigilante shit, the beats of the song were so loud that the vibrations knocked my plate off the table. sure, the plate was balancing on other plates and the table was leaning at an angle, but that plate had stayed there perfectly still since the reputation era!!! tldr: vigilante shit is so loud it causes property damage

literally everyone stayed for the credits. that doesn't even happen for a marvel movie

my favourite performances (as someone who hasn't seen the tour live yet) were definitely willow, tolerate it, ready for it, lwymmd, tlgad, and anti-hero (although anti-hero was more for the visuals)

the best era was absolutely reputation. the energy was unmatched. taylor went all out and the way she screeched "CAUSE SHE'S DEAD" will stay with me forever

anyway can't wait to see this live in sydney next year!!

Copper Recycling: An Essential Practice for a Sustainable Sydney 

In a world where environmental consciousness is growing, the importance of recycling materials such as copper cannot be understated. As one of the most valuable and versatile metals, copper plays a vital role in modern industries and technology. For a city like Sydney, with its growing population, economic activity, and increasing demand for sustainable practices, copper recycling offers multiple benefits – economic, environmental, and social.

This article delves into the significance of copper recycling, the process involved, the environmental advantages, and how Sydney can lead the charge toward a sustainable future by adopting responsible copper recycling practices.

The Importance of Copper

Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years due to its excellent conductivity, durability, and corrosion resistance. It is crucial in a wide array of applications such as:

Electrical wiring and electronics Copper's conductivity makes it indispensable for wiring in buildings, telecommunications, and electronics.

Plumbing Copper pipes are widely used in plumbing systems for their durability and resistance to corrosion.

Automotive industry  Copper is used in electric vehicle components, wiring, and cooling systems.

Construction  From roofing to structural materials, copper is favored for its longevity and aesthetic appeal.

As the global demand for electronics, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicles rises, so too does the demand for copper. However, copper is a finite resource, and extracting it from the earth is not only energy-intensive but also has environmental repercussions. This is where copper recycling becomes critical.

The Copper Recycling Process

Copper recycling is relatively straightforward compared to other metals. Copper can be recycled indefinitely without losing its properties, making it an attractive material for sustainable practices.

The process typically involves the following steps:

1.Collection  Copper-containing items such as wires, pipes, electronic components, and old appliances are collected. This can be done through household recycling programs, commercial recycling services, or scrap metal yards.

2. Sorting  Once collected, the copper needs to be sorted. Since many copper items are mixed with other materials (plastics, steel, etc.), they need to be separated to ensure the highest quality of recycled copper. Manual sorting or specialized machinery is often used at this stage.

3. Shredding and Melting : After sorting, the copper is shredded into smaller pieces, which are then melted in a furnace. The melting point of copper is relatively high (around 1,085°C), and the process requires a significant amount of energy. However, recycling copper uses up to 85% less energy than extracting and refining new copper from ore.

4. Purification : Impurities such as iron and zinc are removed during the melting process to ensure the recycled copper retains its high quality. One common method is electrolysis, where an electrical current is used to purify the molten copper.

5. Forming  The purified copper is then cast into various shapes such as rods, sheets, or ingots, which can be used in new products.

This process ensures that copper is continually reused in industries without the need for further mining, significantly reducing its environmental impact.

The Environmental Benefits of Copper Recycling

Copper recycling has profound environmental benefits, especially for a city like Sydney, which is committed to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.

1.  Conservation of Natural Resources 

Copper is a finite resource, and mining it has substantial environmental costs. Open-pit mining, the most common method of extracting copper, causes extensive land degradation and deforestation. Additionally, copper ores often contain less than 1% copper, which means large quantities of rock must be mined, processed, and disposed of. Recycling copper reduces the need for mining, preserving ecosystems and reducing deforestation.

2.  Energy Efficiency 

Recycling copper is far more energy-efficient than mining and processing new copper. Extracting copper from ore requires immense amounts of energy, mostly derived from fossil fuels, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, recycling copper consumes only a fraction of that energy. By recycling copper, Sydney can help reduce its overall energy consumption and its reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

 3. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions 

The energy savings achieved through copper recycling translate directly into reduced greenhouse gas emissions. According to studies, recycling copper can result in a 65-85% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to primary production. For a city like Sydney, with its goals of reducing carbon emissions, recycling copper is a practical and impactful solution.

4. Waste Reduction 

Recycling copper helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Copper takes hundreds of years to degrade in landfills, and items like electronics, wiring, and pipes often end up taking valuable landfill space. By ensuring that copper is recycled, Sydney can minimize waste, reduce landfill pressure, and contribute to a circular economy where resources are reused instead of discarded.

5. Reduced Water and Air Pollution 

Copper mining and refining generate significant air and water pollution. Sulfur dioxide, a byproduct of copper refining, contributes to acid rain, while mining operations contaminate local water supplies with heavy metals. Recycling copper, on the other hand, reduces these pollutants and helps keep Sydney’s air and water clean.

Copper Recycling in Sydney: Current Status and Opportunities

Sydney, as one of Australia’s largest cities, has a vested interest in sustainable waste management and resource conservation. The city is already taking steps toward a more sustainable future, but there is room for improvement in copper recycling practices.

Currently, copper recycling is primarily handled by scrap metal dealers and recycling centers. Sydney residents can take copper-containing items, such as old electrical wiring, plumbing pipes, and appliances, to designated recycling centers, where they are processed and sold back to manufacturers. However, there is a need for more widespread public awareness and easier access to copper recycling services.

 1.Improving Public Awareness 

Many people are unaware of the value of copper and the importance of recycling it. Public campaigns focused on educating Sydney residents about the benefits of recycling copper and the economic incentives it provides could significantly increase participation in recycling programs. By raising awareness, Sydney can create a culture of sustainability and resource conservation.

 2. Enhancing Recycling Infrastructure 

Sydney could also benefit from enhancing its recycling infrastructure. Expanding the availability of copper collection points, offering curbside recycling programs for copper-containing items, and incentivizing businesses to recycle copper would make recycling more convenient and accessible for residents and businesses alike.

3. Supporting the Circular Economy 

Incorporating copper recycling into a broader strategy for a circular economy is key to Sydney’s future. A circular economy minimizes waste by reusing and recycling materials. By supporting industries that incorporate recycled copper into their products, Sydney can reduce its dependence on new raw materials and foster innovation in sustainable manufacturing.

Economic Benefits of Copper Recycling

Besides environmental advantages, copper recycling also offers significant economic benefits for Sydney. Copper is a valuable commodity, and recycling it provides financial returns. Scrap copper can fetch high prices in the market, making it a profitable venture for individuals and businesses.

Additionally, recycling copper creates jobs in collection, processing, and resale industries. By supporting the recycling industry, Sydney can stimulate economic growth and create employment opportunities while promoting sustainability.

 Conclusion

Copper recycling is a critical component of Sydney’s sustainability strategy. By conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, copper recycling offers both environmental and economic benefits. As Sydney continues to grow and develop, adopting widespread copper recycling practices will help the city reduce its ecological footprint and lead the way toward a greener, more sustainable future.

The future of Sydney’s sustainability depends not only on government policies but also on the active participation of its residents and businesses. By making copper recycling a priority, Sydney can set an example for cities worldwide in achieving a balance between development and environmental responsibility.

Buy Recycled Materials: When purchasing new materials, opt for those made from recycled content, such as reclaimed wood or recycled tiles.

8. Choosing Energy-Efficient Appliances

Once your renovation is complete, choosing the right appliances will further enhance your home’s energy efficiency.

Appliances to Consider:

Energy Star Rated Appliances: Look for appliances that carry the Energy Star rating, which certifies that they meet high energy efficiency standards.

Induction Cooktops: Induction cooktops use less energy than traditional electric or gas stoves and offer fast, efficient cooking.

Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Systems: Consider upgrading to a high-efficiency HVAC system or installing a heat pump for both heating and cooling.

Conclusion

Home renovations in Sydney are not just a trend—they are an investment in the future. By incorporating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and water-saving solutions, you can reduce your home’s environmental impact while creating a healthier and more cost-effective living space. Whether you’re embarking on a full-scale Pergolas Inner in West Sydney or making small changes to your home, every step towards sustainability counts.

With the right planning and approach, you can create a modern, comfortable, and environmentally conscious home that stands the test of time.

Regular watering is essential during the initial growth stages, but once established, the Insulin plant can tolerate brief periods of drought. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. A layer of mulch can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Caring for Your Insulin Plant

The Insulin plant is relatively low-maintenance. It benefits from regular fertilization during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or organic compost. Pruning is recommended to promote bushier growth and prevent legginess. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health.

In Sydney’s warmer months, the Insulin plant may attract pests like aphids or spider mites. Regular monitoring and the use of insecticidal soap can help manage these pests naturally.

Harvesting and Using the Insulin Plant

The leaves of the Insulin plant can be harvested once the plant matures, typically within 6 to 12 months of planting. To utilize its potential benefits, fresh leaves can be chewed or brewed into tea. Some traditional practices suggest consuming the leaves regularly to help regulate blood sugar levels, although you should consult with a healthcare professional before using it as a treatment.

The Insulin plant also produces attractive yellow flowers, which bloom intermittently throughout the year, adding aesthetic appeal to your garden. These flowers attract various pollinators, contributing to a thriving ecosystem.

Conclusion

Growing the Insulin plant in Sydney offers both health benefits and ornamental beauty. With its easy cultivation requirements and striking appearance, it’s a fantastic addition to any garden. Whether you seek its potential medicinal properties or simply want to enjoy its vibrant blooms, the Insulin plant is a wonderful choice for gardeners looking to enhance their green spaces with a purpose.

Do the Top Real Estate Companies in Abu Dhabi Have a Global Presence?

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is known for its opulent lifestyle, stunning architecture, and booming real estate market. The city has rapidly evolved into a hub for global investors and developers, largely due to its robust economic growth and strategic position. As the real estate landscape in Abu Dhabi continues to flourish, many wonder about the global reach of the biggest real estate companies in Abu Dhabi. In this article, we delve into whether the top real estate companies in Abu Dhabi have managed to establish a global presence.

The Growing Influence of Real Estate Companies in Abu Dhabi

The real estate sector in Abu Dhabi has been experiencing significant growth over the past decade.

Major developments like the Yas Marina Circuit, Saadiyat Island, and Al Reem Island are just a few examples of how the city is transforming its skyline and infrastructure.

Given this rapid development, it’s natural to question whether the most prominent real estate companies in Abu Dhabi are limiting their operations to the local market or if they are expanding their influence globally. To understand this, we must first identify what constitutes the top real estate companies in Abu Dhabi and assess their global footprint.

Identifying the Top Real Estate Companies in Abu Dhabi

The term "top real estate companies in Abu Dhabi" refers to those firms that have demonstrated considerable success and influence within the real estate sector. These companies are typically recognized for their large-scale projects, significant market share, and impact on the city’s skyline. They include prominent developers and property managers that have shaped the real estate landscape in Abu Dhabi.

Expansion Beyond Local Markets

Many of the biggest real estate companies in Abu Dhabi have made substantial efforts to extend their reach beyond the UAE. This expansion is often driven by the desire to tap into new markets, diversify investment portfolios, and leverage international opportunities. Let’s explore how these companies are achieving global presence.

Strategic International Ventures

One common strategy employed by top real estate companies in Abu Dhabi is forming strategic partnerships or joint ventures with international firms. These collaborations enable them to enter new markets and share expertise. For example, by partnering with local developers in foreign countries, these Abu Dhabi-based firms can navigate new regulatory environments and understand local market dynamics better.

Investment in International Projects

In addition to forming partnerships, many leading real estate companies in Abu Dhabi invest directly in international projects. These investments can range from residential and commercial properties to large-scale mixed-use developments. By investing in prominent global cities such as London, New York, or Sydney, these companies not only diversify their portfolios but also enhance their brand recognition on the global stage.

Global Marketing and Brand Presence

Building a global brand presence is crucial for any company looking to operate internationally. The top real estate companies in Abu Dhabi have made significant efforts in this area by participating in international property exhibitions, establishing offices abroad, and engaging in global marketing campaigns. This increased visibility helps them attract international clients and investors, further solidifying their global presence.

Examples of Global Presence

Several real estate companies in Abu Dhabi have successfully established a global footprint through various means. While specific names are not detailed here, the general trend indicates that these firms are not only focusing on the local market but are actively seeking international opportunities.

International Offices and Operations

To effectively manage global operations, some of the biggest real estate companies in Abu Dhabi have set up offices in key international cities. These offices serve as a base for managing overseas projects, coordinating with local partners, and understanding market trends. The presence of these international offices is a clear indication of their commitment to global expansion.

High-Profile Global Projects

Another indicator of global presence is involvement in high-profile international projects. Many of the top real estate companies in Abu Dhabi are known for their participation in landmark developments worldwide. These projects often garner significant media attention and enhance the company's reputation as a global player in the real estate sector.

Challenges and Opportunities in Global Expansion

Expanding globally presents both challenges and opportunities for real estate companies. Understanding these aspects is crucial for assessing the sustainability of their international presence.

Challenges

Regulatory Hurdles: Different countries have varying regulations and standards for real estate development. Navigating these legal landscapes can be challenging and requires local expertise.

Market Dynamics: Each international market has its own dynamics, including economic conditions, cultural preferences, and competitive environments. Adapting to these local conditions is essential for success.

Cultural Differences: Understanding and integrating into diverse cultures can be a hurdle. Effective communication and cultural sensitivity are key to establishing successful international operations.

Opportunities

Diversification: Global expansion allows real estate companies to diversify their investment portfolios, reducing dependency on a single market and spreading risk.

Access to New Markets: Entering international markets provides opportunities to tap into new customer bases and increase revenue streams.

Brand Recognition: Successful global operations can enhance a company's brand recognition and credibility, attracting more international clients and investors.

Conclusion

In summary, the top real estate companies in Abu Dhabi have indeed made significant strides in establishing a global presence. Through strategic international ventures, investments in global projects, and enhanced marketing efforts, these companies are expanding their influence beyond the UAE. While challenges exist, the opportunities presented by global expansion offer considerable advantages, including diversification and increased brand recognition.

As the real estate sector in Abu Dhabi continues to grow and evolve, it is likely that the biggest real estate companies in Abu Dhabi will further solidify their global presence.

If you're looking to register your product design registration in Sydney, IP Service International is here to guide you through the entire process, ensuring that your intellectual property is fully protected.

Understanding Product Design Registration

Product design registration is a legal process that grants the owner exclusive rights to the visual appearance of their product. This includes the shape, configuration, pattern, and ornamentation of the product, as long as these aspects are new and distinctive. By registering your design, you can prevent others from manufacturing, importing, or selling products that replicate or closely resemble your design without permission.

The protection offered by product design registration is essential for businesses that invest time and resources into creating innovative and aesthetically pleasing products. It not only safeguards your creativity but also enhances the value of your brand in the marketplace.

The Process to Register a Design in Sydney

Registering a product design in Sydney involves several key steps. IP Service International simplifies this process, guiding you through each stage to ensure that your design is protected as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Design Search

Before registering your design, it’s important to conduct a thorough search to ensure that your design is new and distinctive. This involves checking existing design registrations and other publicly available sources to verify that your design has not already been registered or disclosed. Our team conducts comprehensive design searches to minimize the risk of objections or refusals.

Preparing the Application

Once the search confirms the novelty of your design, the next step is to prepare the application. This includes providing detailed representations of the design, such as drawings, photographs, or CAD models, that clearly show all the features you wish to protect. We assist in preparing the necessary documentation, ensuring that your application meets all legal requirements.

Filing the Application

The application is then filed with IP Australia, the government agency responsible for intellectual property rights. This step marks the official start of the registration process. We handle the filing on your behalf, ensuring that all deadlines are met and that the application is submitted accurately.

Examination Process

After filing, your application undergoes an examination by IP Australia to ensure that it meets the requirements for registration. This examination includes a review of the design's novelty and distinctiveness. If the examiner raises any issues, such as a lack of distinctiveness or similarity to existing designs, we work with you to respond to these objections and provide additional information or amendments if necessary.

Registration and Publication

Once the examination is successfully completed, your design is registered and published in the Australian Official Journal of Designs. This publication serves as an official notice to the public of your registered design. From this point, your design is protected for an initial period of five years, with the option to renew the registration for up to ten years.

Maintaining and Enforcing Your Rights

After your design is registered, it’s important to maintain and enforce your rights. This includes renewing the registration before it expires and monitoring the market for potential infringements. IP Service International provides ongoing support to help you manage and enforce your design rights, ensuring that your intellectual property remains protected over time.

The Benefits of Registering Your Design

Registering your product design in Sydney offers several key benefits:

Exclusive Rights: Registration grants you exclusive rights to use the design, preventing others from copying or imitating it.

Legal Protection: If someone infringes on your design, registration gives you the legal standing to take action and seek remedies, including damages.

Why Choose An Independent Property Valuer In Sydney?

Navigating the property market can be complex and overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding the actual value of a property. Whether you’re buying, selling, or refinancing, getting an accurate valuation is crucial. This is where independent property valuers in Sydney come into play. Choosing an independent valuer over a larger firm offers several benefits that can make a significant difference in your property dealings.

The Benefits of Independent Property Valuers

When it comes to property valuation, independence matters. Property valuers operate without the influence of external interests, ensuring that their assessments are unbiased and solely focused on delivering accurate results. Here are some key reasons why opting for an independent valuer is a smart choice:

Unbiased and Objective Valuations

No Conflicts of Interest: Unlike larger firms, which may have ties to real estate agencies, banks, or developers, property valuers work for you and you alone. Their independence ensures that their valuations are free from external pressures, offering an objective assessment based on the property's actual market value.

Transparency: Independent valuers pride themselves on their transparency and integrity. They provide detailed reports that clearly explain how they arrived at the valuation, offering you peace of mind that the figure is accurate and fair.

Personalised Service

Tailored Approach: Property valuers typically offer a more personalised service compared to larger firms. They take the time to understand your specific needs and the unique aspects of your property, ensuring a valuation that is tailored to your situation.

Direct Communication: Working with an independent valuer means you have direct access to the professional conducting the valuation. This allows for clearer communication and the opportunity to ask questions or seek clarification at any stage of the process.

Expertise and Local Knowledge

Deep Local Insight: Property valuers often have extensive knowledge of the local market. They are familiar with the specific nuances of different neighbourhoods, giving them the ability to provide more accurate and relevant valuations.

Specialisation: Many independent valuers specialise in particular types of properties or areas. This specialisation can be particularly beneficial if you require a valuation for a niche property or a less common market segment.

Key Considerations When Choosing an Independent Property Valuer

While the benefits of using valuers are clear, it’s important to choose the right professional to meet your needs. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when selecting an independent valuer:

Qualifications and Experience

Accreditation: Ensure that the valuer is fully accredited and a member of a recognised professional body, such as the Australian Property Institute (API). This guarantees that they adhere to industry standards and ethics.

Proven Track Record: Look for property valuers with a solid track record and extensive experience in the local market. A valuer with years of experience will likely provide more accurate and reliable assessments.

Reputation and Reviews

Client Testimonials: Reading reviews and testimonials from previous clients can give you valuable insight into the valuer's reputation and the quality of their service. Positive feedback is often a good indicator of a valuer's professionalism and reliability.

Word of Mouth: Personal recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues can also be a helpful way to find trustworthy independent property valuers.

Fee Structure

Transparent Pricing: Choose a valuer who is upfront about their fees. Independent valuers typically offer competitive pricing, but it’s essential to understand their fee structure before proceeding. Avoid valuers who are vague or unclear about their costs.

Value for Money: While cost is important, it shouldn’t be the only factor in your decision. Consider the value of the service you’re receiving, including the quality of the report, the level of detail, and the expertise of the valuer.

Availability and Turnaround Time

Prompt Service: Time can be of the essence in property transactions, so it’s important to choose a valuer who can accommodate your timeline. Ask about their availability and expected turnaround time for the valuation report.

Flexibility: An independent valuer who offers flexible scheduling and can adapt to your needs is an asset, particularly if you’re working within tight deadlines.

Conclusion: The Independent Advantage

In the competitive and often unpredictable property market, the importance of accurate and unbiased valuations cannot be overstated. By choosing independent property valuers in Sydney, you gain access to a service that prioritises your needs, delivers transparent and objective valuations, and offers a level of personalisation that larger firms often cannot match. Whether you’re buying, selling, or refinancing, an independent property valuer provides the expertise and local knowledge needed to navigate the market with confidence, ensuring that you make informed decisions every step of the way.
