6 reasons to choose plantation shutters for your melbourne home

Shutters are a popular choice for window treatments in almost every part of the country. However, when choosing the right interior window shutters, homeowners often feel confused between traditional shutters and other advanced options available in the market. If you are looking for more functionality and versatility, plantation shutters are a much better choice for your home. Let’s explore some major reasons why you should choose these modern-style shutters over the traditional ones.

Better Privacy

Installing plantation shutters at your home, especially in street-facing properties, offers more privacy to the residents. Hire plantation shutters Melbourne experts to install such window shutters in a way that you get light into your home, but passers-by cannot see what’s inside your home. It is a great way to maintain privacy without compromising on the natural light or the outside view. Moreover, you can choose from different styles of plantation shutters, including full height, cafe style, tier-on tier, and more.

More Light Control

Besides helping you improve the privacy level at home, the plantation shutters can also offer better control over the light that enters through the window. If you want maximum light in the room, you can fold back the shutters completely or close with the slats fully open. You can easily adjust the slats, which lets you control the level of light you want during the day and conserve electricity. To get additional light control or adjust the level of darkness during the daytime, you can integrate black blinds behind the shutters.

Versatile

The shapes and sizes of the windows are not always the same for every property. If you live in an older property, the difference is even more evident. Apart from having different shapes and sizes, the windows may also be slanted with warped walls and other unique architectural characteristics. No matter how different the windows are, plantation shutters can be customised to fit them. The versatility of these shutters makes them a great choice for residential properties, irrespective of how unique the windows may look.

Additional Layer of Security

As mentioned, these plantation shutters offer greater privacy to your property and keep potential intruders from taking a peek at your home. When fully closed, these shutters provide an additional layer of security to your home by blocking unwanted glances of the passers-by. Moreover, the shutters do offer a physical barrier when it comes to securing your home. If you are concerned about security, you can go for aluminium shutters instead of the wooden ones. These metal shutters offer the highest level of protection to your property.

Easy to Clean

You can clean plantation shutters easily and quickly using a feather duster and damp cloth. There is no need to hire specialist cleaning services. Due to the ease of maintenance, you can install these shutters in high-traffic areas of the home, where you may see stains from sticky fingers, moisture in wetter rooms, or grime build-up from cooking. Choosing the right material for the shutters (wood, faux wood, or vinyl) makes the maintenance job several times easier.

Temperature Control

During the summer months, you can stop direct sunlight from entering your rooms through the windows and keep the temperature inside your home much cooler. Moreover, these shutters offer another layer of insulation besides your windows, helping you trap the heat inside the home and keep it warm for longer periods. In other words, these shutters make your home more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Conclusion

Choosing plantation shutters for your home can significantly boost your standard of living. As you enjoy greater privacy, better light and temperature control, improved security, ease of maintenance, and versatility, these plantation shutters also improve the aesthetics of your building. While these shutters may be a bit costlier than the traditional ones, their benefits outweigh the cost.

what makes famous new york cookies so special? 5 tips for finding the best one

New York City— a melting pot of cultures, cuisines, and, of course, incredible desserts. But there’s one sweet treat that consistently ranks high on the must-try list: the New York-style cookie.

These aren’t your average bakery bites. New York cookies are known for their extra-large size, chewy, doughy centres, and crisp, golden-brown edges. They’re often packed with melty chocolate chips, nuts, or other delicious mix-ins, making them the perfect indulgence for any sweet tooth.

But what makes these cookies so special? Let’s dive in and explore the history and secrets behind these chewy, crunchy, and oh-so-delicious treats.

A Brief History of New York-Style Cookies

The exact origin of the New York-style cookie is a bit fuzzy, but some believe it can be traced back to immigrant communities in the early 1900s. These communities brought their own cookie recipes, often featuring bold flavours and unexpected ingredients. Over time, these recipes evolved and merged, resulting in the unique style everyone knows and loves today.

One bakery that’s often credited with popularizing the New York-style cookie is Levain Bakery, which opened its doors in 1993. Their signature giant 6-ounce cookie quickly gained a cult following, and soon, other bakeries were following suit.

The Science Behind the Size and Texture

So, what makes these cookies so big and chewy? It all comes down to science!

Ingredient Ratios: New York-style cookies typically use a higher ratio of flour to sugar (mix of white and light brown sugar) compared to traditional recipes. This lessens sweetness and helps the cookies retain their shape while baking.

Egg Yolk Magic: Egg yolks add richness and contribute to that sought-after chewy texture.

The Power of Rest: Many New York-style cookie recipes call for chilling the dough before baking. This allows the flour to hydrate fully, leading to a chewier centre and a crispier edge.

These scientific principles combine with a baker’s touch to create those iconic cookies. So, next time you indulge in delicious New York-inspired cookies, remember the magic that goes into every bite!

Beyond Chocolate Chip: Exploring Flavour Variations

Sure, chocolate chip cookies are a classic, but New York cookies come in a wide array of flavours to tantalize your taste buds. Here are a few popular options:

Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie: Calling all chocoholics! This variation is loaded with both milk and dark chocolate chunks for an intense chocolate experience.

Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies: For a bit of crunch, look no further. This variation features the classic chocolate chip base we all know and love, studded with chopped walnuts for an added textural surprise. It’s like biting into a party in your mouth!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie: If you’re a dark chocolate enthusiast, this is your dream cookie. The richness of dark chocolate pairs beautifully with creamy peanut butter, creating a sophisticated and deeply satisfying flavour profile.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookie: A classic pairing that never disappoints. Creamy peanut butter and melty chocolate chips create a perfect balance of sweet and salty.

These are just a few examples, and many bakeries offer even more creative and seasonal options. So, keep an open mind and be prepared to be surprised!

5 Tips for Finding the Perfect New York-Style Cookie

Now that you know the secrets behind these delectable treats, you’re ready to embark on your own New York-style cookie quest. Here are some tips to help you find the best:

1. Do Your Research: Look for bakeries known for their cookies. Reviews and recommendations can be a great starting point.

2. Size Matters (Sometimes): While the iconic size is part of the New York-style cookie experience, don’t be afraid to consider smaller options if you’re looking for a lighter indulgence.

3.Fresh is Best: Aim for bakeries that bake cookies in small batches throughout the day. Freshness is key to that perfect chewy texture.

4. Embrace Variety: Don’t limit yourself to the chocolate chip cookie! Explore the different flavour options to find your new favourite.

5. Visit Iconic Bakeries: Some of the most famous New York cookie joints include Levain Bakery, Funny Face Bakery, and Dominique Ansel Bakery. Visit these iconic spots to taste the real deal and experience the magic firsthand.

4 More Tips to Elevate Your New York-Style Cookie Experience

Finding the perfect cookie is only half the battle. Here are some additional tips to make the most of your New York-style cookie indulgence:

1. Warm it Up: For an extra gooey centre, heat your cookie in the microwave for a few seconds. Just be careful not to overdo it!

2. Pair it Right: Milk is a classic choice, but consider a scoop of ice cream for an over-the-top treat.

3. Share the Love: These cookies are big enough to share (or not, we won’t judge!).

4. Savour the Moment: Take your time and savour every delicious bite. After all, you’re experiencing a true New York City icon.

Final Thoughts

Finding the perfect New York cookie requires a combination of quality ingredients, expert baking techniques, and a dash of love.

With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to indulging in delicious New York-inspired cookies that will satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more. So, go ahead, take a bite, and experience the magic of the Big Apple in every chewy, crunchy, and oh-so-delicious cookie.

Inspired by the beauty of Jeju, the island he grew up on, Lee began his career making hyperrealist landscape paintings. As he became fascinated by how light effects constant change on what we see, he looked for a way to more accurately represent our experience of nature and started experimenting with materials. Working on custom-made steel plates, Lee went on to develop a pouring technique using epoxy resin to build up topographical layers. His latest series, From Colors, borrows from systems of representation such as mapmaking, how it uses colour to shape our understanding of the world, and constructs a tonal topography to explore the materiality of colour.

‘I focus on capturing the chain of actions in nature, such as the movement of a light source, and the true nature of inconsistency.’

SO RA SHIN

Shin’s three-dimensional mixed-media works utilise lenticular forms and weaving techniques to symbolise our different facets: ‘the discrepancy between the me projected to others and the genuine me’. For Shin, the warp and weft threads that cross under and over each other are akin to how we build relationships and multiplicities of understanding, beyond right and wrong.

‘Our differences are, ironically, our blessing.’

She sees their myriad forms as personalities and delights in composing interactions and making connections.

If humans disappeared, what would happen to our dogs?

if humans disappeared, what would happen to our dogs?

For many of us, dogs are our best friends. But have you wondered what would happen to your dog if we suddenly disappeared? Can domestic dogs make do without people?

At least 80% of the world’s one billion or so dogs actually live independent, free-ranging lives – and they offer some clues. Who would our dogs be if we weren’t around to influence and care for them?

What are dogs?

Dogs hold the title of the most successful domesticated species on Earth. For millennia they have evolved under our watchful eye. More recently, selective breeding has led to people-driven diversity, resulting in unique breeds ranging from the towering Great Dane to the tiny Chihuahua.

Humanity’s quest for the perfect canine companion has resulted in more than 400 modern dog breeds with unique blends of physical and behavioural traits. Initially, dogs were bred primarily for functional roles that benefited us, such as herding, hunting and guarding. This practice only emerged prominently over the past 200 years.

Some experts suggest companionship is just another type of work humans selected dogs for, while placing a greater emphasis on looks. Breeders play a crucial role in this, making deliberate choices about which traits are desirable, thereby influencing the future direction of breeds.

Are we good for dogs?

We know certain features that appeal to people have serious impacts on health and happiness. For instance, flat-faced dogs struggle with breathing due to constricted nasal passages and shortened airways. This “air hunger” has been likened to experiencing an asthma attack. These dogs are also prone to higher rates of skin, eye and dental problems compared with dogs with longer muzzles.

Many modern dogs depend on human medical intervention to reproduce. For instance, French Bulldogs and Chihuahuas frequently require a caesarean section to give birth, as the puppies’ heads are very large compared with the mother’s pelvic width. This reliance on surgery to breed highlights the profound impact intensive selective breeding has on dogs.

And while domestic dogs can benefit from being part of human families, some live highly isolated and controlled lives in which they have little agency to make choices – a factor that’s important to their happiness.

Dogs without us

Now imagine a world where dogs are free from the guiding hand of human selection and care. The immediate impact would be stark. Breeds that are heavily dependent on us for basic needs such as food, shelter and healthcare wouldn’t do well. They would struggle to adapt, and many would succumb to the harsh realities of a life without human support.

That said, this would probably impact fewer than 20% of all dogs (roughly the percentage living in our homes). Most of the world’s dogs are free-ranging and prevalent across Europe, Africa and Asia.

But while these dogs aren’t domesticated in a traditional sense, they still coexist with humans. As such, their survival depends almost exclusively on human-made resources such as garbage dumps and food handouts. Without people, natural selection would swiftly come into play. Dogs that lack essential survival traits such as adaptability, hunting skills, disease resistance, parental instincts and sociability would gradually decline.

Dogs that are either extremely large or extremely small would also be at a disadvantage, because a dog’s size will impact its caloric needs, body temperature regulation across environments, and susceptibility to predators.

Limited behavioural strategies, such as being too shy to explore new areas, would also be detrimental. And although sterilised dogs might have advantageous survival traits, they would be unable to pass their genes on to future generations.

No more designer breeds

Ultimately, a different type of dog would emerge, shaped by health and behavioural success rather than human desires.

Dogs don’t select mates based on breed, and will readily mate with others that look very different to them when given the opportunity. Over time, distinct dog breeds would fade and unrestricted mating would lead to a uniform “village dog” appearance, similar to “camp dogs” in remote Indigenous Australian communities and dogs seen in South-East Asia.

These dogs typically have a medium size, balanced build, short coats in various colours, and upright ears and tails. However, regional variations such as a shaggier coat could arise due to factors such as climate.

In the long term, dogs would return to a wild canid lifestyle. These “re-wilded” dogs would likely adopt social and dietary behaviours similar to those of their current wild counterparts, such as Australia’s dingoes. This might include living in small family units within defined territories, reverting to an annual breeding season, engaging in social hunting, and attentive parental care (especially from dads).

This transition would be more feasible for certain breeds, particularly herding types and those already living independently in the wild or as village dogs.

What makes a good life for dogs?

In their book A Dog’s World, Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff explore the idea of “doomsday prepping” our dogs for a future without people. They encourage us to give our dogs more agency, and consequently more happiness. This could be as simple as letting them pick which direction to walk in, or letting them take their time when sniffing a tree.

As we reflect on a possible future without dogs, an important question arises: are our actions towards dogs sustainable, in their best interests, and true to their nature? Or are they more aligned with our own desires?

By considering how dogs might live without us, perhaps we can find ways to improve their lives with us.
