hey quick question but what's the most depressing part of australia? sorry this is so weird but i have an oc whose Tragic Backstory is that he's a first-gen immigrant whose family moves from a large chinese city to the suburbs during the early days of covid in 2020 and he gets really isolated and depressed... i was asking because i don't want to slander random parts of australia 😭😭 the plot requires him to be in nsw quite close to sydney if that helps!

hey! hmmm this is quite a broad question I think I'll need a bit more detail honestly to give you a good answer! but a lot of greater sydney shut down and was in lockdown for quite a while in 2020 (6 months or more if I remember correctly, I was in Brisbane at the time) so that's gonna be depressing. otherwise, ngl I feel like your oc would be alright in the hurstville area though they're probably going to think the public transport sucks, they might also like cabramatta or burwood (don't know those other areas that well but I think these are the main Asian hubs of greater Sydney). however if you want him to feel isolated I reckon he moves somewhere else--sutherland area is really white-dominated but otherwise decent, however the southwest and northwest really far out can be quite isolating, so places like campbelltown and richmond which are far more rural but like suburban as well if you get what I mean might work to make your oc feel isolated and depressed esp the way the culture tends to be there, idk how to properly describe it, you also get rougher (i guess, I don't actually know these areas that well) areas around Penrith that (I think) are also quite white dominated (again not necessarily bad in of itself but if you're an immigrant who doesn't speak much english or know culture and slang it might be hard), I guess there are a lot of have-nots there and a lot of people dealing with generational trauma and as a result may not be as welcoming, but it really does depend on who you meet because there are lovely friendly people everywhere. otherwise there's also a lot of have-nots in the lakemba area (though it's better now) like I can access my demographic maps from uni if you really want I'll get them! again still really lovely people there but it really depends on what part of china they're from and what culture they're used to. canterbury-bankstown area has a lot of multiculturalism and definitely some people can end up feeling tension and a need to be more loyal to their culture and people at the expense of properly mingling but this is also interspersed with a lot of community coming together and a lot of creativity, it's also a very working class area and if you catch the train at night you will sometimes encounter the 'rough' types--still most people are cool as long as you're not being hostile to them though the thing about cultural differences is sometimes it's easy to come across that way when you're just overwhelmed and confused. then you've also got the opportunity to bring your oc to a richer area where the sense of community might be a bit fragmented due to rich people problems (like just not letting people in basically because they're clinging to their wealth instead of dealing with feelings of isolation and inadequacy would be how i sum it up) and somewhere like rozelle in the inner west can be a bit like that, the traffic and public transport are pretty bad there too. I also imagine much of the central coast could fall into that category in the more mansion-y areas but also I really don't know that area too well and there's a lot of really down to earth people from there too. in general i do find community around sydney to be pretty good, same goes with a bit further out like wooloongong. however newcastle/maitland is both very white dominated and just far enough out of sydney to be not really well connected and also very suburban, very working class and it's easy to get into substances there and feel hopeless in terms of getting a better life--it's a weird paradox, you've got lovely chill people who absolutely love that area there and also people who get out and never go back because they just can't take it. it's about a 2-3 hour drive/train out of sydney and honestly i'd recommend putting your oc there, though i don't know any Chinese immigrants who've gone straight to that area, a lot of them show up on the southside of sydney though like hurstville, bankstown, probably out to cabramatta

Meet The (Updated) Writing Team

Hello Kinfolks! These last two months have been quiet for y'all in terms of updates, but BUSY in terms of the work being done by the sept of contributors to this project!

At the start of October I put out the call for help, saying that this project cannot succeed without the help and support of the Werewolf fandom. I'm happy to report that you as a fandom have responded phenomenally, and production on this series is now underway! These last few months have been dedicated to recruiting team members, and researching our book framework. We've about filled in the main core of the team, and have already gotten started writing Book 1: Cliath!

October through November has been dedicated entirely to research, both putting together a collection of citations we'll be using in this first book, and passing out initial writing assignments. This list is sure to grow in time, but for now we have plenty of work to do!

With that all said, I'd like to introduce you to the team that are showcasing the Gaians.

Emerald Bank - POV Amgar

The green tower at the very edge of the city glowed brightly as Amgar descended the ramp to the main doors. She was straightening her blue tunic, which she had told to washed, cleaned of all urban dirt, decorated with silver raspberry-shaped pins and added a glittery shine. The whole thing looked quite rich. On her head she wore a green velvet cap from Verturia - the latest fashion from the famous designer Tera. She had to present herself as best as possible to the members of the banking council.

Amgar came from the illustrious Franciallas banking family. The last of the family. She never met any of them. It was just a name and a story she knew. She had no foster family. She was raised by an institution for highborn orphans. Funds were withdrawn from her family accounts and sent to the best schools and best practices so that she could one day become a member of the banking council.

The council consisted of three councilors. Her seat was empty for 20 years while she trained and studied, and the bank was managed by the other two councilors. One of them was Rionel Srebrna, a famous seducer and participant in many scandals. The second was the aged Otto Xenic. They both disliked each other due to differences in their views on life, but they were professional enough to care for the legacy.

Amgar approached the door and pulled out a green card with a silver raspberry. She placed it against the scanner and went inside.

She was greeted by the sight of a blue carpet in a room with many windows. In the middle of the room there was a large bench with three thrones behind it. Her heart tightened in her chest as she looked at the silver throne with a raspberry engraved on it. She moved closer and touched the armrest. The silver was cold but comforting. For a moment she imagined her dead parents… would they be proud… or…

She opened her eyes to the creak of a door on the other side of the room. A bald man with yellow eyes in flowing black robes with intricate gold embroidery on the sleeves and chest entered. He wore gold, round earrings in his ears.

'Lady Amgar' bowed his head and approached her, offering a gesture of friendship. His fingers lifted her hand as he kissed the back of her hand. 'It's an honor to meet you, my name is Lord Otto Xenic.' His yellow eyes stared at her.

'It's an honor,' she replied quietly, noticing the ring on Lord Otto's finger. Ring - eavesdropping. Hardly anyone recognized them, they were of different shapes and patterns, but Amgar had the advantage in that she used to make such rings on commission… you can't mistake those few streaks that an inexperienced person would not notice… but she made such rings in dorm every week during teenage years.

'Beautiful ring,' she smiled.

'A family heirloom,' replied the unfazed lord.

Amgar took her seat, glanced again at the councilor next to her, and wondered why the bank lord had a ring to record conversations.

I was tagged by @girldante (thank you so much!!!) and generally I always forget when someone tag me, but this time I manage it

nickname: before this, Aglaurie. It’s a random name I actually don’t remember how I came out with this, but maybe is a distortion of Aglaea

sign: gemini, scorpio rising and sagittarius moon, if anybody care

height: between ~ 1.68 or 1.70 cm. There is a long story about the uncertainty I don’t want to dispach it

last thing i googled: “Aramando Trovajoli Pier Angeli”. He was a composer from the silver age of italian cinema, she was the great love of James Dean, I need to say more? Actually it was only because a score from Trovajoli was from an italian series on prime (now available also in USA!) and I manage to catch it thanks to shazam.

amount of sleep: idk, for sure more than before. Now I try to manage to mantain a regular sleep schedule for my mental/general health (at “random fun fact” at the end of the post I explain it more).

dream job: I finished my bachelor degree studying arts management and culture economics, because I wanted to work in that field, from events/museum organization to art market, and I managed to do some job experience, but the situation (in Italy and abroad) was, and still is, so difficult and structured with so much elitism that I grow disillusioned and frustrated. After some time I restarted to study while working (master’s degree) and now I’m specialyzing in governance and public administration (+ policy management and european politics), not that far from the previous field but maybe with more opportunities, so I “orbit” around it. The ideal that could mix my preferences and the opportunity to have a good financial stability as a profession is project manager, community manager or project officer. I also had some experience in comunication/social media management but I grow tired of it pretty fast, still sometimes I enjoy following and writing down newsletter, like the Pinocchio weekly one. I also love to write a lot and I wanted, years ago, to become a journalist but the bad situation in the field made me rethink about it (well, I wanted to study also urbanism, but this is another chapter).

movie/book that summarizes you: my favourite book since always is The Master and Margarita of Mikhail Bulgakov, but I doubt it could “represent” me. Maybe this choice could fall to Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay, Six Memos for the Next Millennium by Italo Calvino, and many short stories of Dino Buzzati, in particular the ones centered on the Dolomities, a place dear to both of us.

favorite song: Jezebel by Anna Calvi. Requiem n°21 by Fran Palermo. Vesuvio by Nu Genea. Mai Mamma and Questo corpo by La Rappresentante di Lista. Amara and Malamore by Enzo Carella. Tattica by Fulminacci. Rights by Anica. Esplodigodi by Elasi. Oh No and Free Woman by Marina. There are actually so many, I 100% love music and explore different artists, in particular emergents one.

favorite instrument: piano (which actually I started to learn at 11 but at 13 I get tired and stopped, maybe this is one of the very few regrets that I have), violin and trumpets. I grew up around many parents who love classical music and I’m a sucker for “triumphal” and elegiac compositions.

aesthetic: I like to think that I’m not the type of person that have an aethethic, considering that irl I love to dress well but with a basic style (good fabric and ethical consume >>> everything else) and for the other parts I’m a pretty frugal person (a part from fragances, I love perfumes), but in general on a more artistic sense I’m into symolist/surrealist art and culture, I enjoy design and contemporary art (aside the performative field), I enjoy read a lot of newspaper and watch movies, I love dark/deep colours so maybe... dark academia but without the elitism and an added love for economics/social subject? I think that it could be all summarized in: art (and lit + philosphy) hoe.

favorite author: I have so many! Italian literature: Buzzati, Calvino, Sciascia, Pirandello, Moravia, Ortese, Serao. Other lit: Bulgakov, Anais Nin, Nabokov, Lorca, Borges, Thomas Mann, Ibsen, Isabel Allende. I’m very much into magical realism.

random fun fact: idk? For a year now I suffer of (occasional) hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux, the two things are correlated to stress, but the only problem is that when I feel the effects I grow more stressed. I love archery and standup paddleboarding (SUP). I've already written it above, but I love fragrances. Every time I manage to achieve a goal, I buy miself a piece of jewelry (my favourite brands are Pdpaola and Aleyole, but sometimes I enjoy search more underground and rising/ethical brands, like Ilaria Speranza). My favourite colours are red, gold, black, dark purple. My favourite languages are french, portuguese, russian and modern greek.

Maximizing Returns: Investing in Mixed-Use Properties

Mixed-use properties, which blend residential, commercial, and sometimes industrial spaces within a single project, are increasingly viewed as a silver bullet in urban real estate investment. In the bustling city of Toronto, Ontario, the appeal of such properties is on the rise, thanks to their ability to meet diverse needs and contribute to the vibrancy of urban life. This article delves into the intricacies of navigating the mixed-use property landscape and outlines strategic approaches for maximizing returns on these high-yield investments. With insights gleaned from the latest market analyses and expert opinions, investors can gain a comprehensive understanding of how to thrive in Toronto's dynamic real estate sector. Navigating the Mixed-Use Property Landscape Entering the mixed-use property market in Toronto demands a nuanced understanding of local zoning laws and market trends. Recent studies by Toronto real estate associations highlight the city's strategic initiatives to promote mixed-use developments as part of its urban intensification efforts. However, investors must navigate complex regulatory frameworks to unlock these opportunities, requiring detailed due diligence and sometimes creative problem-solving to align projects with municipal visions. Moreover, the demographic and lifestyle shifts in Toronto underscore the demand for properties that offer convenience, accessibility, and a blend of work-life elements. A report by the Urban Land Institute emphasizes the growing preference among millennials and Gen Z for living spaces that integrate residential, retail, and recreational facilities, suggesting a long-term trend that bodes well for mixed-use investments. However, the competitive landscape in Toronto means that identifying the right property in the ideal location is both an art and a science. Investors should leverage data analytics and market research tools to uncover emerging neighborhoods and predict future demand shifts. Engaging with local communities and planning authorities early can also provide invaluable insights into potential mixed-use projects that align with broader urban development goals. Strategies for High-Yield Investments Successful investment in mixed-use properties requires a strategic approach that balances short-term gains with long-term value creation. One effective strategy is focusing on adaptive re-use projects, which transform existing structures into mixed-use spaces. According to a recent study published by the Toronto Real Estate Board, adaptive reuse projects not only offer unique architectural and historical appeal but also tend to be more cost-effective and faster to market than ground-up developments. Diversification within the mixed-use portfolio is another key to maximizing returns. By investing in properties that offer a mix of residential, commercial, and leisure spaces, investors can mitigate risks associated with economic downturns. During periods of retail or office market slumps, the residential components can provide stable income streams, as highlighted in a recent analysis by a leading Toronto-based real estate investment firm. Lastly, leveraging technology and sustainability practices can significantly enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of mixed-use properties. Smart building technologies that improve energy efficiency and tenant experiences are becoming crucial factors in tenant decision-making processes. Additionally, properties that incorporate green spaces and environmentally sustainable design elements are not only more appealing to a socially conscious market but also may benefit from government incentives for sustainable development. Investing in mixed-use properties in Toronto represents a compelling opportunity for those looking to capitalize on the city's growth and evolving urban landscape. By understanding the regulatory environment, responding to demographic shifts, and adopting a strategic investment approach, investors can position themselves to reap substantial rewards. As the city continues to expand and densify, the importance of mixed-use developments in fostering vibrant, sustainable communities cannot be overstated. With the right strategies and insights, mixed-use properties can offer investors a profitable path in Toronto's dynamic real estate market. Read the full article

Revolutionizing UK's Electrical Goods Recycling

Pioneering Change in Electrical Goods Recycling

The UK Government has announced transformative plans to make it significantly easier for both individuals and businesses to recycle and reuse their old electrical goods. This groundbreaking initiative, announced on December 28, is designed to revolutionize the current system of handling electronic waste in the UK. It represents a critical step towards addressing the substantial issue of electrical waste, which has been a growing environmental concern.  

Tackling the Escalating Issue of Electronic Waste

Recent statistics paint a stark picture: approximately 155,000 tonnes of smaller household electrical items such as cables, toasters, kettles, and power tools are wrongly discarded each year across the UK. Further exacerbating the issue, British households are estimated to be hoarding around 527 million unwanted electrical items, many containing valuable materials like gold, silver, and platinum. The waste generated during festive periods, including the disposal of 500 tonnes of Christmas lights annually, underscores the scale of this environmental challenge.   Government's Vision for a Circular Economy The government's latest proposals signify a decisive move towards establishing a circular economy, fundamentally changing the disposal methods for both large and small electrical equipment. Moreover, this initiative is an integral part of a broader effort to transform old goods into new products. Additionally, it builds upon significant strides already made this year in combating plastic pollution and enhancing urban cleanliness.  

Comprehensive Measures Proposed for 2026

The UK Government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government, and Northern Ireland Executive have jointly proposed a set of wide-ranging measures for introduction from 2026. - Nationwide Household Collections: This innovative approach would facilitate the collection of waste electricals directly from homes, financed by electrical item producers rather than taxpayers. This system wouldn't necessitate additional bins. - Retailer Role in Recycling: Major retailers would establish drop points for electrical items in-store, free of charge, without requiring customers to purchase a replacement product. - Enhanced Responsibility for Retailers and Online Sellers: Under these plans, retailers and online sellers would be responsible for collecting large, unwanted, or broken electrical items like fridges or cookers when delivering new ones.   Collaborative Efforts for Efficient Recycling The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs commits to closely collaborating with manufacturers, major retailers, and SMEs throughout the consultation period. This collaboration aims to implement the most efficient and accessible recycling options, marking a significant step towards sustainable waste management. Recycling Minister Robbie Moore has highlighted the wastefulness of incorrectly disposing of electricals and the importance of accessible disposal methods. He emphasized the proposed plans' role in fostering a circular economy, creating new job opportunities, and simplifying recycling processes for everyone.   Expanding Obligations to Online Marketplaces The consultation also proposes extending recycling and reuse obligations to online marketplaces like Amazon. This move would ensure that major international suppliers comply with regulations, leveling the playing field for British businesses.  

Public Attitude Towards Recycling

A study on public attitudes and behaviors indicates a strong public inclination towards recycling, with about 86% of UK residents recognizing its importance. However, many people are unaware of or find it difficult to access recycling points for waste electricals. Surveys show that around three-quarters of UK adults would recycle their electricals at local supermarkets or electrical retailers if such services were available. Moreover, over 77% would view a retailer as more environmentally responsible if they offered an electrical recycling service.   Launching a Consultation on Industry-Funded Scheme The Government has initiated a 10-week consultation on proposed improvements to the industry-funded scheme for waste electricals. This move is in alignment with the commitments made in the Government’s Environmental Improvement Plan. The increased collection and recycling of waste electricals could spur greater investment in the UK’s treatment and reuse sector. This would not only help create British jobs but also support the Prime Minister's priority of growing the economy.   Industry Leaders' Perspectives Industry leaders, including Rob Sant of AO.com and Jacob Hayler of the Environmental Services Association, have voiced their support for the proposals. They emphasize the initiatives' potential to streamline recycling processes and reintroduce valuable materials into the circular economy.  

Government's Comprehensive Environmental Strategy

These proposed reforms are a key part of the Government's broader strategy to enhance recycling and reduce waste, thus reflecting a holistic approach to environmental stewardship. Additionally, this strategy encompasses groundbreaking measures to curb single-use plastics, notably illustrated by the recent implementation of restrictions on items such as plastic plates, trays, bowls, cutlery, and certain food and drink containers. Importantly, these efforts are vital in reducing plastic pollution and maintaining cleaner streets across the UK.   Sources: THX News, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs & Robbie Moore MP.

The Miniature Powerhouse: Unraveling the Potential of Button Cell Innovations" 

Button cell is a type of single cell battery that resembles the shape of a button. The diameter of these sales ranges from 5mm to 25mm. The button cell batteries are normally used to power small electronic devices such as toys, wrist watches, pocket calculators, and others. These cells are usually disposable primary cells. The anodes on these cells are generally made above zinc or lithium and the cathodes are made up of compounds such as manganese dioxide, silver oxide, carbon monofluoride, or others. 

Request The Sample PDF Of This Report:    

scenario analysis: 

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the growth of the global button cell market. 

Because of the global economic slowdown caused by the pandemic, the demand for electronic appliances and gadgets decrease exponentially. As a result, a severe decrease in the demand for button cell was observed in the electrical and electronic sector as well as among the consumers around the globe. 

Moreover, China was a major market for the button cell and thus the complete shutdown of the nation caused a great deal of damage to the growth of the global button cell market. 

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis 

There has been a growth in disposable income among the consumers with the rise in urbanization around the world. This has caused a rise in buying powers after consumers that resulted in an increase in demand for consumer electronic products in the market. This rise in demand for electronic gadgets has played a major role in driving the growth of the button cell market around the world. The low production cost and the compact size of button cells also make it a popular choice for different electronic devices that are designed to be compact and smaller in size. Several major manufacturers are investing in significant sums of money to boost their production rate and thereby gain competitive advantage in the market. However, the low recyclability and the use of harmful chemicals in the cells are creating several concerns among many governments for their effects on the environment and this limits the market growth. 

In terms of market share, the Asia-Pacific region accounts for the major share of the global button cell market. Because of the presence of a huge electrical and electronics sector in different nations of the region including India, China, and Japan. The market in North America and Europe is also expected to witness lucrative growth due to the rapid technological advancements and high demand for electronic gadgets in the developed nations of the region.

Selentia: A Shimmering Odyssey

Selentia, a world where the ground shimmers like polished silver under the soft glow of its twin moons, where tranquil lakes of liquid mercury sing the song of the cosmos, and where the inhabitants have entwined their existence with the unusual, metallic beauty of their environment. Far from being a barren wasteland, Selentia pulses with a vitality both familiar and strange, offering much to those who dare venture into its enigmatic embrace.

The Land

Bereft of conventional soil, the physical geography of Selentia is defined by vast stretches of hard, silvery crust interspersed with large lakes of liquid mercury. Despite the lack of greenery, its dramatic landscapes, like the towering Luminary Peaks, whose pinnacles glisten under the lunar light, or the Echoing Plains, where the solidified ground hums with an eerie melody, hold a unique charm.

Selentia's climate is largely determined by its axial tilt and orbit around its sun, leading to sharp diurnal temperature differences. During its daytime, the mercury lakes liquefy, reflecting the light in dazzling displays, while at night, the planet cools, causing the lakes to solidify into mirrored plains.

Its most prominent natural resource is its abundance of diverse metals, particularly the omnipresent mercury, utilized for a myriad of purposes from architecture to technology.

Population and Urban Factors

Selentians, the planet's semi-aquatic inhabitants, have built their cities on the shores of the mercury lakes. The architecture of Selentia is a testament to the inhabitants' innovative spirit, boasting towering, mirror-finished structures whose reflective surfaces create a mesmerizing spectacle of light and shade.

The capital city, Argentum, stands out with its grand Mercury Palace, where its regency resides, and the gleaming towers of the Luminary Institute, the heart of Selentian technological and philosophical advancement.

Society & Culture

Selentians communicate using their native language, Liquelae, a flowing tongue that mimics the soft lapping of mercury waves. In addition to spoken words, they employ a unique form of sign language developed to communicate from within their mercury environments.

Selentia's calendar is based on its twin moons' cycles, resulting in a 37-day month. Days are marked by the sun's position and the changing states of the mercury lakes.

Selentian fashion embraces the planet's metallic abundance, with attire made from woven strands of flexible, light-reflective metals. Body adornment with gemstones is common, and the society values the harmony of colors between attire and gemstones.

Government and Economy

Selentia operates under a meritocratic regency, where rulers are elected based on their contributions to society. Crime is handled seriously, with an emphasis on rehabilitation over punishment, while the legal system is designed to be fair and equitable.

The economy is reliant on the trade of its abundant metals, mercury-based technology, and knowledge exchange. Selentia's advanced understanding of metallurgy and materials science has made it a hub for intergalactic scholars and researchers.

Magic & Science

While not magical in a conventional sense, Selentians have developed a remarkable synergy with their environment through technology. They've harnessed the unique properties of mercury for a multitude of applications, from energy production to transportation.

Mercury skimmers, used for transportation, glide effortlessly over the liquid mercury lakes, while communication is facilitated through light-based devices, using the reflective surfaces of the environment to relay signals.

Medical science has developed alongside their unique biological needs, focusing on metallurgical compatibility and the balance of mineral intake in their diets. The interaction between their metallic world and the unique physiological makeup of the Selentians continues to be a fascinating field of study for exobiologists.

Selentia, indeed, is a world where the division between natural and artificial blurs, where the pulse of life resonates through metallic veins, and where each reflection in its mercury lakes hides a story, a lesson, an invitation to explore further. In the dance of its sunlit days and moonlit nights, in the whisper of its shimmering landscapes, Selentia is not just a place, but an experience, a melody in the symphony of the cosmos.

I wanna share with you guys part of my motivation to study urban design i forgot about until 3 minutes ago

(in response to a project with community opposition prompt):

'Toondah Harbour in Cleveland, Queensland is one I immediately think of. It is a private development so I'm not sure that it counts, but the ferry terminal to Minjerrbah needed an upgrade and the Walker Company (I believe) has taken the reins, and plans on making several apartment buildings and a water park in a very out of the way area of the Redland Coast that's poorly serviced by roads and public transport. To do this involves a lot of dredging of a RAMSAR wetland known to host endangered migratory species such as the Eastern Curlew, and the disturbance (damage and rebuilding) of prime koala habitat. Residents are mostly against it or they don't know what it is, and it's been taken to statewide and national debates as to whether this is legal (from an environmental law perspective, it's not). However, it is true that the ferry terminal desperately needs an upgrade, and in my opinion, a public transport link and some strategically placed ecotourism sites. Part of the reason I'm studying urban design is that I want to pitch an alternative proposal with the community behind me that may be implemented by the government.'
