There's no simpler decadence than a doughnut. While it's difficult to buy vegan doughnuts anywhere but at specialty bakeries, making them from scratch at home is a fun kitchen project. The glory of this treat lies in its sweetness and the delicate puffiness created by frying, so making doughnuts vegan is a shift that isn't at all noticeable. Most people wouldn't even suspect that there are no dairy or eggs in this version!
Some fried vegan doughnut recipes utilize aquafaba (whipped bean water) or vegan egg products; we didn't find that either added anything important to the texture. If these were baked, you would want to use a vegan egg replacer. However, because the fluffiness is imparted by way of the hot oil's reaction with the flour, you're good to skip that ingredient here. The only swaps made from the usual method of doughnut-making were replacing butter with vegan butter or margarine and using non-dairy milk.
This recipe will make a dozen doughnuts, giving you plenty of space for every glaze, topping, and/or filling of your choosing. While they are made with a yeasted dough, the process is straightforward; the most vital element is to fry at the correct temperature. Use a thermometer to ensure you don't over or undercook them and they'll turn out great.
1 1/4 cups non-dairy milk
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided
1 (0.25-ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
6 tablespoons vegan butter or margarine, melted
3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
Neutral oil, such as avocado oil or vegetable oil, for frying
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
Heat milk on the stove or in the microwave until about 105 F, or warm to the touch.
Add the milk, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, and yeast to a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes, until the yeast is bubbly.
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, vegan butter, 3 1/2 cups of flour, and salt to the bowl. Mix on low speed or by hand until a soft dough is formed.
Continue to knead, in the bowl or by hand for 5 minutes, adding flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too wet. The dough should be softer and stickier than bread dough, but should have visible elasticity and hold together completely.
Transfer the dough to a greased or sprayed bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel. Let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Alternately, you can press it out with your fingertips.
Cut the dough into the desired shape(s) and size(s) with doughnut or biscuit cutters. For leftover dough, re-roll and cut until all of the dough is used.
Transfer cut doughnuts to a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to double in volume again, about 45 minutes.
Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet until a thermometer reads 350 F.
Add doughnuts to the oil one at a time, keeping space between and avoiding overcrowding.
Fry for about 1 1/2 minutes per side, until golden, then remove and drain on a paper-towel lined baking sheet or a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. Repeat with the next batch until all doughnuts have been fried.
Allow to cool completely before glazing or filling. Serve and enjoy.
- Yeasted doughs rise best in a warm place. The most consistent option in most kitchens is in the oven: Turn on the oven light for a little warmth and make sure no one turns the oven on while the dough is rising.
- If you don't have a deep-fry or candy thermometer, check the oil temperature with a wooden spoon. Popcorn kernels and even doughnut holes can help test the oil temperature before cooking the whole doughnuts.
- Vegan doughnuts are best fresh and can be stored for up to two days at room temperature in a sealed container. Refrigerating the doughnuts can dry them out, though they can also be frozen for a couple of months.
What Are Good Fillings and Glazes for Vegan Doughnuts?
When making vegan doughnuts, the real fun comes with finishing them off with yummy glazes and fillings. That can be as simple as squirting some gelatin-free fruit jam inside. You can also adapt cream fillings by switching to dairy- and egg-free ingredients. Glazes are simple and versatile as well, and vegan versions use the same type of substitutions as this doughnut recipe. Pick up your favorite vegan chocolate for a dairy-free chocolate glaze, or use plant-based milk for a simple vanilla glaze. Maple syrup is a favorite option for vegan doughnut glazes, too.

A remix of classic indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil’s work on a portrait of an Indian women to reflect what it feels like being an Indian woman: seeing so much, saying so little to stay safe, always being consumed without consent and forever carrying empty destroyed rooms in my body.
Your daughter’s face is a small riot,
her hands are a civil war,
a refugee camp behind each ear,
a body littered with ugly things
doesn’t she wear
the world well.”
― Warsan Shire

Jeff Bezos says that newspapers need to figure out how to get readers to treat their product as a bundle. Here's why he's wrong.
Jeff Bezos's campaign donations place him smack dab in the middle of the political spectrum.
All sorts of workers will need to adapt (if they haven't already!) to the kind of rapid, disruptive change we've seen in the newspaper business over the last decade.
Amazon has always expanded by accretion, but its purchases have very different fates.
The idea that the Post will remain untouched by Bezos's primary business interests is, for better or worse, probably a fantasy.
A newspaper could be just what Amazon was missing.
"Specifically, before any discussion begins, members of the team -- including Bezos -- consume six-page printed memos in total silence for as long as 30 minutes."
Basically, the Business Insider expanded their actual journalism.
Journalism needs to adapt to a digital age. Can it do it without losing itself?
Remember, the Post isn't being sold to Amazon. It's being sold to Bezos. He's buying it as an individual.
Jeff Bezos is buying us. Here's what that has to do with the future of media.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry discussed the changes in the band’s songwriting and the criticism the band faced early on (apparently they sounded like the Rolling Stones and Tyler looked like Mick Jagger), as they prepare to be awarded the Founder’s Award at this year’s ASCAP Expo.
Here’s an excerpt, with Tyler discussing the changes to the band’s songwriting over the years:
“We come from an era when ‘Sweet Emotion’ and ‘Back In The Saddle’ were considered dark and we weren’t accepted. We were just a B-side album band. We were never a singles band. Then the Eighties came along with ‘Dude (Looks Like A Lady).’ I listen to that now and I think, ‘What?’ It’s fun to hear, kind of like ‘Wooly Bully,’ but were we trying too hard to be a singles band? It doesn’t fucking matter. We’ve been strung out and sober. We’ve sold in and we’ve sold out. Some days we didn’t even sell at all. What matters is we’re still together as a band.”

The Hardest Time is about a kid who had to grow up too fast, a believer with questions that often go ignored, a dreamer that’s still trying to make it to daybreak. It’s a melodically upbeat but lyrically emotional song born from the tension between beauty and pain; from a place of saying “I’m counting my blessings, but why does it still hurt?” It’s an honest conversation, raising difficult questions about the things we’ve grown so used to hiding beneath the surface.

This invention relates to a viscous fluid timed infusion device and more particularly to a portable metering syringe by which medicine may be continuously injected into a patient over a predetermined period of time.
Treatment of a number of medical disabilities, as for example diabetes, requires continuous application of medication to replace a lost body function. This is often accomplished by a continuous injection by means of a syringe of a medication directly into the blood stream of a patient over a predetermined period of time which often may extend from a few hours to a number of days. In order that the patient not be immoblized, it is desirous that the syringe be of a portable type such that it may be strapped to the patient. This requires that the syringe be small, and from an economic viewpoint, be easily assembled of conveniently manufactured parts.
It is a further requirement in such devices that the dosage of medication be accurately metered to assure that the correct amount of medication is administered over a set predetermined amount of time. Electric motor driven devices have been proposed but such devices are subject to problems of variations in charges of batteries necessary to drive the devices. Spring motor clockwork devices have been proposed but these usually result in relatively large devices which tend to impede mobility of a patient.
Further it is desirable that such devices be capable of having their rate of metering easily changed to accommodate varying rates of application of dosages.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide for a viscous fluid timed infusion device that is small so as to be easily strapped to a patient in order to keep any immobilization of the patient to a minimum.
It is a further object of the invention to provide for a syringe which is easy to manufacture and assemble and which at the same time provides a highly accurate device for metering application of medication over a predetermined period of time.
It is a still further object to provide for a timed infusion device by which the rate of application of dosage may be easily varied to accommodate various treatments.
Broadly a viscous fluid timed infusion device constructed according to the invention comprises a cylindrical main housing having an orifice at one end adapted to contain a medication in fluid form. A main plunger sealingly engages the inner side walls of the main housing and is slidable therein such that when the plunger moves towards the orifice, medication is forced out of the orifice. A main spring means is operatively positioned between the main plunger and the main housing to urge the plunger towards the orifice. A viscous fluid timing device controls rate of movement of the plunger towards the orifice such that the rate of application of the medication is controlled.
The timer device preferably comprises a cylindrical auxiliary housing having a closed end and an opposite end having an opening therein with the housing containing a viscous fluid. A metering valve piston is movable in the auxiliary housing and is operatively connected to the main plunger such that when the main plunger moves towards the orifice under the influence of the main spring, the piston will move in the auxiliary cylinder towards the closed end. Leakage of viscous fluid around the edges of the piston controls rate of movement of the piston towards the closed end of the auxiliary housing and consequently the rate of movement of the main plunger in the main housing since the main plunger is operatively connected to the piston.
The metering piston preferably comprises a ball mounted for movement within the auxiliary cylindrical housing. Variations in leakage, and thus in rate of movement of the ball in the auxiliary housing, can be regulated by changing ball sizes.
An auxiliary spring is positioned between the closed end of the auxiliary housing and the ball to urge the ball towards the opening so that the ball remains in its initial position. The opening is sealed with metal foil which is ruptured upon initiation of the device. A plunger rod which ruptures the foil is operatively connected with the main plunger and is adapted to engage the ball to urge it against the force of the auxiliary spring to move the ball towards the closed end of the auxiliary housing.
Preferably the plunger rod is initially spaced from the ball and regulation means are provided for varying this spacing. The spacing allows the main plunger to move independently of the ball until the plunger rod contacts the ball. This independent movement of the main plunger will move medication through the orifice and through a hollow needle to expel air from the needle prior to injection of the needle into a patient. The spacing is made variable to accommodate different length needles or tubings to which the device may be connected.
The device also includes a release means which in one position locks the main plunger with respect to the main housing and which in a second position allows relative movement between the two.
Preferably the auxiliary housing is positioned concentrically within the main housing to reduce overall space requirements. It could however be positioned exteriorly of the main housing.
The housings and plungers may conveniently be molded from glass so as to reduce expense of manufacture and which may then allow the device to be discarded after use.
FIG. 1 is a view of a viscous fluid timed infusion device constructed according to the invention as applied to a patient;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the device of FIG. 1 shown in assembled form;
FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the device of FIG. 2 shown in disassembled form;
FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a poriton of the structure of the device of FIG. 2 illustrating a timing device prior to use, and;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 illustrating the timing device during use.
Referring to FIG. 1 there is illustrated a viscous fluid timed infusion device 1 constructed according to the invention as applied to an arm of a patient. Normally the device would be strapped directly to the arm so as not to impede mobility of the patient. Of course the device could be connected to other portions of the body and if necessary the needle 2 could be connected by flexible tubing to the device further adding to the areas of placement of either a needle or the device to the body.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, it is seen that the device comprises a main cylindrical housing 3 having an orifice 4 at one end with the opposite end being open. A hollow main cylindrical plunger 5 is slidable in the housing 3 and has rubber sealing rings 6 on one end thereof such that the plunger sealingly engages the inner side walls of the housing 3.
A main compression spring 7 is operatively positioned in the plunger 5 between the end of the plunger containing the rings 7 and a spring stop 8 which is held in the housing 3 by means of a set screw 9.
The stop 8 has a tie bar 10 rotatably connected thereto which is threaded with a cap 12. Cap 12 in turn has a plunger rod 13 which threads with cap 12 so as to be moved in a longitudinal direction with respect to the cap. A pin 14 on the side of cap 12 is adapted to engage a slot 14 in the main plunger when it is assembled into the main cylindrical housing 3 as explained hereafter in greater detail.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 there is shown a viscous fluid timing device 15 as used with the infusion device. The timing device comprises an auxiliary cylinder 16 closed at one end and having an opening 17 in an opposite end which is sealed by a metal foil 17'. The cylinder 16 may as shown be integral with the spring stop 8 to form a part thereof or it could form a separate part joined to the stop in which event the stop would have a hole in line with an opening in the end of the auxiliary cylinder.
The cylinder 16 contains a viscous fluid as well as a ball 18, which as shown in FIG. 4 is urged by an auxiliary compression spring 19 towards the opening 17.
The ball 18 is adapted to be engaged by the plunger rod 13 through the opening 17 after it ruptures the foil 17' to force the ball towards the closed end of the auxiliary housing 16 as shown in FIG. 5. As the ball moves towards the closed end the viscous fluid leaks around the sides of the ball. It is apparent that the rate of movement of the ball towards the closed end is dependent on the rate of leakage of the fluid about the sides of the ball. Metering devices of this type are known as LAOD devices which is an acronym for Liquid, Annular, Orifice, Dashpot. It can be seen that the rate of leakage, and thus rate of movement of the plunger rod 13 can be varied by replacing ball 18 with balls of different diameters.
The auxiliary cylinder 16 is preferably positioned coaxially within the plunger as shown in FIG. 3.
The rod 13 is initially spaced a predetermined distance from the ball 18, the spacing being regulated to a predetermined amount by rotating the regulating knob 20 on the end of the rod 13 to move the end of the rod either away from or towards the ball. The amount of spacing is determined by the amount the main plunger must move in the main housing to expel medication from the housing through the orifice 4 to completely expel air from the needle 2 and any associated tubing before the needle is injected into the patient.
The infusion device 1 is assembled as follows. The spring stop 8 including the auxiliary housing 16 and spring 7 as well as cap 12, tie bar 10 and plunger rod 13 are pushed into the hollow main plunger 5 compressing the main spring 7 until the pin 14 is opposite the slot 15. At this point the tie bar 10 and rod 13 are turned so that the pin 14 is locked into the slot 15. The main housing 3 is then filled with a predermined amount of fluid medication after which the plunger 5 is slid into the housing until a threaded hole 21 in the stop is opposite a hole 22 in the side of the main housing. A set screw 9 is then threaded into hole 21 to lock the stop 8 as well as the timing device 15 in the main housing.
The operation of the infusion device is as follows. The regulating means comprising the knob 20 is turned to pre-set the distance from the end of the rod 13 to the ball 18 to allow sufficient movement of the main plunger 5 in the main housing independent of the timing device 15 in order to expel any air that may be contained in the needle and any associated tubing. When it is desired to commence treatment, the release means comprising the rotatable threaded tie bar is turned to unscrew the tie bar with respect to the cap 12. This then allows the main plunger to quickly move towards the orifice 4 to expel air from the needle and any associated tubing after which the needle is inserted into the patient. Movement of the plunger towards the orifice also moves the cap 12 and rod 13 in the direction of the orifice until the end of the rod engages the ball 18. After this point the rate of movement of the main plunger, cap 12 and plunger rod 13 is determined by the rate of leakage of the viscous fluid around the edges of the ball 18.
It is seen that an infusion device as described comprises a minimum of parts which, because of the construction used, can be easily shaped, as for example, by molding from glass . This in turn means that the device can be economically manufactured so that it can be to be disposed of after usage.
Further it is seen that the rate of infusion can be easily varied by merely changing size of the ball in an existing auxiliary housing where the housing forms part of the stop 8 or by connecting a different auxiliary housing ball unit to the stop 8.
The device as described is approximately the same size and shape as conventional syringes allowing it to be easily attached to a portion of a patients body.
While the invention has been described in connection with syringes, it is apparent that the infusion device is applicable for use in any situation in which it is desired to obtain an accurate metering of a liquid over a predetermined period of time.

BSL job cuts flagged with no deal for cheaper power in sight
BOYNE Smelter Limited could start shutting down reduction cells from December 16 if it can't lock in a competitive deal for 15% of its power supply. And any cut in productivity would also mean job cuts at the smelter.
That's unless an eleventh-hour deal can be done to secure a supply for 140 megawatts of energy into the operation.
With power costs 20% less in New South Wales and 30% less in Victoria, BSL general manager Joe Rea said the current offers, including one from Gladstone Power Station, weren't competitive enough.
He told an Australian Institute of Management Gladstone business breakfast on Wednesday that, as BSL was requiring a constant supply of power, it was one of the better contracts to acquire.
He said even if the Federal Government got rid of the carbon tax, which currently takes $13 million out of the business annually, "taking it away will help us but it won't change the dynamic".
"If we don't get this power block it will be the end of investment and capital for a long time."
He said costs were already being cut, and BSL employees had been asked to come up with $10,000 worth of savings for the operators.
"From process technicians, to tradies and engineers, they've been putting forward solutions we can easily implement," he said.
"They've come up with $6.9 million in savings just from asking that one question this year."

The world has gone wireless, in case you have not noticed. We are now living in a world growing more wireless by the day – wireless speakers, wireless headphones, wireless mobile phone charging, etc. Many digital pianos have also gone wireless, supporting Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI.
In today’s wireless world, Bluetooth® technology plays a vital role. It allows us to exchange data and stream music between fixed and mobile devices over short distances without a cable or adapter. For instance, you can connect a digital piano with an app on your smart tablet or smartphone.
What is Bluetooth Audio? What is Bluetooth MIDI? And What is the use of Bluetooth features on a digital piano? Let’s delve into the details.
What is Bluetooth Audio?
Bluetooth Audio technology lets you wirelessly connect your stereo system or soundbar to your smartphone and its myriad streaming services.
However, in the current digital piano arena, when a digital piano features Bluetooth Audio, it most likely means that the instrument receives audio data wirelessly and outputs the sound through the piano’s speaker system. It is typically from an audio file stored on or streamed from the connected device. Additionally, the audio can also be from a video or even produced by a separate app.
In many cases, the Bluetooth Audio function of digital pianos does not allow the sound produced by the instruments to be transmitted to other devices, such as wireless speakers or headphones.
For example, the Roland FP-30X digital piano comes with Bluetooth Audio. It can wirelessly play music from your mobile device through the piano’s speakers. On the other hand, you cannot use wireless headphones to listen to what you play on the piano.
What is Bluetooth MIDI?
MIDI stands for Music Instrument Digital Interface. Briefly defined, it is a specific data transfer format. You may think of it as a specific language that the instruments, software, and hardware use to communicate. Bluetooth MIDI technology enables this musical data transfer wirelessly.
As consumers of Bluetooth MIDI, typically, people do not need to know the technical intricacies or channels of MIDI unless they want to do some complex MIDI data or sequence modifications.
In the digital piano world, Bluetooth MIDI allows instruments to send and receive MIDI data wirelessly. The player can perform a song on a digital piano and have the data transmitted to a mobile device or laptop. Moreover, recorded MIDI music can be transmitted from the connected device and played using the instrument’s sound generator.
Another very popular use of Bluetooth MIDI is to wirelessly connect to a wide variety of music-related or piano-learning apps. For instance, Kawai KDP120 has the Bluetooth MIDI feature that enables wireless connectivity to Kawai’s free PianoRemote app.
Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI provide convenience by eliminating the wire for music and audio data transmission. More and more digital pianos come with Bluetooth features, even in the lower or mid-range priced models such as Casio PX-S3000 and Kawai ES110.
While it is nice to have both Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI on your instruments, in most situations, Bluetooth MIDI suffices. However, if you need to use your piano speaker system to stream music from your mobile device regularly, you may want to consider a model with Bluetooth Audio.
Enjoy your music!!!

A Redcar family have spoken of their daughter's heart-breaking diagnosis, which could limit her life.
Six month old Sienna Gibson was diagnosed with Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) on Thursday May 12, after scans showed the baby had the condition. Crestfallen by their daughter's devastating diagnosis, dad Jack Gibson and mum Sian Kennedy, 24, now hope to raise awareness of SMA and access treatment for their baby girl.
Sienna's dad, 25 year old Jack from Redcar, spoke to Teesside Live about the family's next steps after learning of their daughter's condition. They have since launched a Go Fund Me Page as months of hospital visits mean they aren't able to work and are living in hotels whilst their daughter received life saving treatment.
Jack explained how concerns about Sienna's condition were raised to doctors, but was told there were no apparent problems.
He said: "We were told she just had a cough or she would develop in her own time, but we kept persisting as we wanted to know what was wrong with Sienna. We ended up going to a private GP who told us she had low muscle tone and severe reflux as well as being 'tongue tied'.
"My sister has type three SMA so myself and Sian went for blood tests to see if we were carriers of the condition, it was a one in 800 chance that Sienna would have the condition."
It wasn't until his niece's speech and language therapist assessed Sienna that they began to get the answers they were looking for. Jack added: "The speech and language therapist booked us straight into James Cook after taking a look at Sienna, she went through multiple tests and X Rays to get to the bottom of her symptoms - the staff have been absolutely amazing with her."
Last Thursday, the family received the heart-breaking news that little Sienna did have Spinal Muscular Atrophy, with her type one form being the most severe strain of the condition. Without treatment, Sienna may not see her second birthday.
Still coming to terms with their daughter's diagnosis, Jack and Sian have since been searching for answers on how their daughter can receive treatment. Sienna will be taken to Newcastle's RVI to see SMA specialists for assessments, and will spend a month in a hospital in Sheffield undergoing gene therapy.
The Redcar couple have decided to launch a Go Fund Me Page to help them with costs, as both are unable to work whilst they travel to hospitals for Sienna's treatment and care for their baby daughter full time.
Jack said: "We decided to set up the page as we'll be living out of hotels and travelling to and from hospitals whilst Sienna undergoes treatment and tests, with my Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) being £96 a week it won't even touch the sides of all the extra expenses we now have.
"We could be going to hospitals for years ahead, but for now it'll be two months. One injection of the treatment causes the NHS over £1million, luckily the government do cover some of the costs but the money raised in the Go Fund Me Page will also go towards that."
Jack continued: "Sienna had her bloods done on Tuesday which have now been send to Holland. These tests will determine if Sienna's body will react to the gene therapy that would extend her life. If the treatment works, she will be able to have a healthier and ultimately happier life."
Jack, Sian and Sienna have recently got in touch with SMA UK - a charity which helps families affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy, who are pointing them in the right direction of all the help and advice they may possibly need.

Democrats who kept control of the senate are again demanding higher taxes from wealthier taxpayers including entrepreneur -- as part of any deal.
But Republicans who kept control of the house say no way -- President's call for a balanced approach to the depths of the combination spending cuts increased revenues.
But a balanced approach is a balanced of the means higher taxes on small businesses.
That are the key to give it our economy moving again and keep in -- move.
-- have this this.
Diatribes by the Republicans some Republicans saying.
Where -- can raise taxes on small business please separately.
We all agree that there's 3%.
Three people who are worried about their tax increase your small.
-- Boehner said Republicans are open to higher tax revenues as part of a fiscal agreement.
As long as they don't come from higher tax rates house Republicans want them to come mainly.
From tax and entitlement reform that they say will help boost economic growth job creation and payrolls.

Name: Dan Goldman
Blog or web site: http://dangoldman.net
Currently working on:
I’m entering my third year of working on my comic series Red Light Properties, which is coming soon to Comixology and Graphic.ly and a host of others. It tells the story of a family-run Miami real estate office that exorcises and flips “previously-haunted” houses.
First memory of 2000AD?
I grew up in Miami pre-internet, when you actually had to find things, special order imports as well. One day on the way home from a short-lived series of bass guitar lessons, I found a comic shop I’d never seen before called BAM! (unbeknownst to me patterned after London’s GOSH! by its Anglophile owner Alex Gimeno, who’s gone on to become superstar DJ-producer Ursuala 1000). I pulled into the shop and found that they not only spotlighted in pre-Vertigo fare (I’d been reading Shade and Sandman and Animal Man before the imprint launched), but BAM! also featured a wall of imports… and it was there I found 2000AD.
Long after my interest in bass guitar faded, my lust for UK comics was stoked by this shop: Alex always played the best Madchester and Britpop bands (and their remixes) while I stopped, and I found myself hanging out and talking with him and the other cat I remember who worked there, a talented fellow named Georges Jeanty. I picked up many many things there, it was a doorway into a whole education of UK comics/music/culture that informed my own tastes and techniques as I inevitably picked up the bristol on my own soon after.
This was the early 90’s, mind, and American comics absolutely sucked then. Without 2000AD (and Deadline and Tundra and BAM! Comics) showing me how flexible and intelligent the storytelling medium really was, I don’t think I’d still be mucking around with comics today.
Favourite Character or Story?
“The Gothic Empire” from Nemesis the Warlock which still rattles my teeth to look at, any/all volumes of ABC Warriors, naturally The Ballad of Halo Jones as a single piece of work. And of course, Zenith.
What do you like most about the 2000AD?
Its unbridled energy, almost musically blasting off the page with anger and satire and ugliness. I learned a lot of about how to make comics by studying the self-contained shorts in each prog, how they worked standalone and were even better read together. It was clear to me from my first contact with 2000AD that these were a smarter calibre of creator writing up to a smarter audience.
It took the US a long time to catch up, mostly by imitating this work and TV/film.
What would you most like to see in 2000AD as it heads to its Forties?
To be totally and unabashedly sincere… a comic of my own creation running in its pages. That would be a thrill and an honour and a tick off my dream list. I know Tharg isn’t fond of hiring Yanks, but I’m currently living in Brazil. That’s got to count for something, no?

New £65 GP depression service among Boots mental health initiatives
Boots has announced it is launching a number of private “on-demand mental health services” including an online service offering GP-led support and treatment for patients with depression and anxiety.
The multiple said that with 1.6 million people on NHS waitlists for mental health services, it has seen a rise in patients requesting advice and support in this area.
In response, it has launched a number of initiatives including the Boots Online Doctor Depression & Anxiety Treatment, which offers a GP consultation followed up with a treatment and support plan and prescription medicine “if appropriate”.
The service costs £65 for an initial consultation and first month’s medication. Patients are then ‘enrolled’ onto a “membership service” that costs £65 per month.
Other new remote services announced today include SupportRoom, a £40-a-month subscription service matching people with a therapist who communicates over text and video, CBT sessions over video call through Livi Talking Therapies priced at £65 a session, a £10 mood and symptom checker and a free to access information hub.
Boots said it has conducted research showing that 88 per cent of people who used digital healthcare services during the pandemic plan to continue using them out of convenience, with 82 per cent of two thousand respondents saying they would consider digital mental health services and 72 per cent saying they would rather access therapy digitally than face to face.
Boots chief pharmacist Marc Donovan commented: “Mental health is an important part of our wellbeing, and our pharmacists are always on hand to provide advice and support as a first port of call for people – whatever their healthcare issue.
“Since the start of the pandemic, our pharmacists noticed an increase in requests from patients for mental health services. In response, we’re making dedicated online mental health services available to our patients, providing accessible support and helping relieve pressure on the mental health services already available through the NHS.
“The services you can now find at Boots offer a range of treatment options including talking therapy and access to prescription medicine for those who need it. When it comes to mental health, it’s important that patient can access the treatments that suit them.
“Mental health issues like depression and anxiety affect people differently and there is not a one-size-fits-all approach.”

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into buildings, including homes, workplaces, and schools. It is a significant environmental health concern as prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can have detrimental effects on human health.
Inhalation and Radioactive Decay:
Radon is an odorless and invisible gas that is released when uranium in rocks and soil start decaying. When radon gets into an enclosure, there is the tendency for high concentrations of it to get accumulated. Once inhaled, radon particles decay and release radioactive byproducts, such as polonium and lead, which can damage lung tissue and increase the risk of developing certain health conditions.
Lung Cancer Risk:
The primary health risk associated with radon exposure is an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and is responsible for a significant number of lung cancer cases each year. The radioactive particles emitted by radon can become trapped in the lungs, where they continuously irradiate nearby lung tissue, leading to cellular damage and an increased risk of developing lung cancer over time.
While smoking remains the leading cause of lung cancer, radon poses an independent risk for lung cancer even in non-smokers. In fact, non-smokers who are exposed to high levels of radon have a higher risk of developing lung cancer compared to non-smokers with minimal radon exposure. The combination of radon exposure and smoking further amplifies the risk of developing lung cancer, emphasizing the importance of addressing both factors for lung cancer prevention.
Other Health Effects:
In addition to lung cancer, some studies suggest a potential association between radon exposure and other health effects, although the evidence is less conclusive. These potential health effects include respiratory symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and respiratory infections. However, more research is needed to establish a definitive link between radon exposure and these additional health outcomes.
Factors Affecting Radon Exposure:
Several factors influence the level of radon exposure in a given location, including geological characteristics, building construction, ventilation, and lifestyle factors. Homes and buildings located in areas with high levels of uranium in the soil or with poor ventilation systems are at higher risk of elevated radon levels. Smoking within a home with high radon concentrations can further increase the health risks associated with radon exposure.
Radon Testing and Mitigation:
To assess the radon levels in a home or building, radon testing is necessary. Short-term or long-term testing kits can be used to measure radon levels and determine if mitigation measures are required. Radon mitigation techniques, such as sealing cracks and openings, installing ventilation systems, or utilizing soil depressurization techniques, can effectively reduce radon levels and minimize the health risks associated with radon exposure.
Radon exposure poses a significant health risk, primarily through an increased risk of developing lung cancer. It is essential to be aware of the potential dangers of radon and take proactive measures to mitigate exposure in homes and buildings. Testing for radon and implementing mitigation strategies when necessary can significantly reduce the health risks associated with radon exposure. By addressing radon as an environmental hazard, we can protect ourselves and our communities from its harmful effects and promote healthier indoor environments.

text: Neoliberal urban redevelopment is often represented as consensual, socially‐neutral ‘local economic development’ with a positive effect on both a city’s overall economy and its level of racial and ethnic diversity. The purpose of this article is to focus specifically on the key ideological premises of color‐blind racial discourses that help facilitate and provide necessary legitimacy (and ideological cover) for neoliberal urban redevelopment in a mid‐sized US city. Color‐blind racial discourses facilitate the agenda and mandates behind tax abatements, enterprise zones, public–private partnerships and new forms of urban consumption. Despite efforts to the contrary, neoliberal urbanism does not retreat from race — rather, racial dynamics are reconstituted to accommodate processes of capital accumulation and uneven urban development in poor and minority cities. Drawing on the case of Chester, Pennsylvania, this article focuses on how color‐blind racial discourses influence exclusionary urban redevelopment policies and practices, facilitate their implementation and legitimize their outcomes.

How to get wrinkles and creases out of a painting canvas?
How do you get wrinkles and creases out of canvas? The first secret to get wrinkles and creases out of a canvas is to use an iron on high! However, before you go ahead and do that, you should read through our list below of the most important Do's and Don'ts.
The good news is that some wrinkling for canvases of all types is VERY normal. The bad news is that wrinkles on paint by number canvases are more common due to the printing of the numbers and lines, which also makes it a little more challenging to deal with. Fear not! We are here to help you with the Do's and Don't of getting those annoying creases out!
Let's start with the Don'ts:
DO NOT use a lot of water, and avoid using any. Many websites suggest using a little bit of water, fine mist, or steam when ironing. We recommending doing this with caution because paint by number kits are different from regular canvases in that they have numbers and lines printed on them. Too much water and steam can actually clean away the numbers and lines, so unless you want to paint completely free-hand, we recommend proceeding with caution any time you spritz your canvas with water or use steam when ironing.
DO NOT iron face up! When you begin ironing, make sure you iron face down to prevent any smudging of numbers and lines. Canvases are designed to be painted on, not printed on, so the ink can smear easily. Direct contact with a hot iron can easily blemish your favorite paint by number kit!
DO iron your canvas on high without steam. Many websites suggest using a little bit of water or steam when ironing. You're welcome to try doing this, but Paint by number kits are different from regular blank canvases in that they have numbers and lines printed on them which may be accidentally cleaned off! Make sure to press down firmly on the canvas, and make sure you never keep the iron in one place for too long.
DO make your canvas tight. Canvases are made to be stretched, and the stretching process helps to get the last wrinkles out. Try to make sure the canvas is as tight as possible, even when just taping or tacking the canvas to a flat surface!
DO use a damp cloth on the back of the canvas. If you can't get the wrinkles out without water, and you don't have a VERY fine mister, we recommend laying the canvas face down, and ironing with a damp cloth on the back.
Love it. Canvas and paints are great quality

Check out this website for many free woodworking plans. http://the3house.com/plans/
Does anyone have a free blueprint for a wooden swing set they could send me? Or does anyone have ideas for building a nice swing set for not too much money?
Nicole from Rockford, IL
I think the wooden swing sets are very nice looking, however wood these days is quite expensive. By the time you buy all the supplies you need and spend your time putting it together, it really is a lot of time and money spent for not that long your children will use it.
We bought our children a metal swing set and it has served the purpose very well. It has a slide, 2 swings, glider and chin up bar and brand new was only $89. Pretty soon, stores will have them on sale.
Our kids are 8 and 6 (soon to have birthdays) and still enjoy the swing set; however in a few more years they won't. Finding someone to take this one will be easier since it can be dismantled. I am not sure how one takes apart the wooden ones, but I imagine you can, but then that is more of an undertaking, I'm sure.
Well good luck. Oh and you might find plans for the wooden play sets at a home improvement center. (03/16/2007)

20 years of Marcuard Heritage: A retrospective
In early September, we’ll be gathering in Zurich to celebrate our 20th anniversary. It will be a special moment to reflect on two decades of service to our loyal clients, pay tribute to our dedicated team, and express gratitude to our valued partners.
Twenty years ago, our founders started with a vision to build an independent wealth management company fully focused on the client’s best interests. That entrepreneurial spirit is still alive today. To mark this special milestone, we sat down with two of our founders, Sinan Bodmer and Adrian Guldener, to look back on the past and forward to the future.
“The idea of professional independence often comes to those who feel somewhat constrained by overly hierarchical structures. That’s how I felt.”
The right decision
Leaving the stability of a large financial institution for the uncertainty of independent wealth management isn’t a decision many would take lightly. It’s a risky move. Something substantial has to drive you to take that step. Twenty years ago, Sinan Bodmer and Adrian Guldener were two colleagues with a similar outlook: They both liked their employer but felt the bank was holding them back – and that there was a better way.
“The idea of professional independence often comes to those who feel somewhat constrained by overly hierarchical structures. That’s how I felt,” says Adrian. “I wouldn’t have missed my years at the bank, but looking back now, I’m glad I made that decision.”
“The bank was great, but it was only one bank,” adds Sinan. “You can only work with that bank’s products, but they aren’t always the right fit for the client. I felt I wasn’t able to provide the best services – I couldn’t access the best solutions to meet their needs. As an independent wealth manager, I could look at the bigger picture – understand each client’s unique situation and long-term objectives, and act accordingly. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
Believing in yourself
Together with Hans-Joerg Rudloff, the three Swiss bankers founded Marcuard Heritage in 2003. They believed in their business model, but the move wasn’t an immediate success. There were challenges to overcome.
“We had to convince our clients that we were in this for the long haul,” says Sinan. “There was a lot of wavering, which was understandable. A bank feels firm and dependable. The idea of independence sounded shaky to some of them.”
“On top of that, the bank we left refused to work with us,” adds Adrian. “Which wasn’t a big surprise, but it meant that we not only had to convince clients of our approach to asset management but also get them to move their assets away from what was the number one bank in the world at the time.”
Despite facing this uphill battle, they trusted their instincts and believed in themselves.
“We believed in what we were doing and in doing the best we could,” says Sinan. “We stuck to our values of honesty, integrity, and trust – and, ultimately, it paid off.”
“After about three years, we knew our model was the right one and that our company would thrive,” says Adrian. “Our clients increasingly entrusted us with their private wealth, and we saw a huge increase in assets under management.”
The recipe for success
People often compare business partnerships to marriages. That’s because success frequently rests on relationships. So, what exactly was the secret of our founders’ success?
“Having a partner whom you trust and respect makes all the difference,” says Adrian. “With that foundation, we could always debate important issues, thrash out problems, and find solutions together.”
Sinan agrees. “That was a big part of our success,” he says. “We also believed in being open, honest, and fair – and we always saw the glass as half full and not half empty. One of Adrian’s strengths is open communication, which invites new perspectives and approaches. My advice to others would be to stay positive, listen to your partner, and don’t be afraid to try new things.”
A compliment now and then also doesn’t hurt. “Sinan is fair and loyal – and, last but not least, he’s a very charming guy,” adds Adrian with a smile.
An enterprising mindset
Having a vision is one thing, but possessing the innovative drive to implement new ideas and solutions is another. What are the lessons learned after 20 years of entrepreneurial life?
“We just talked about it,” says Sinan. “Keeping an open mind is so important – and trying new things. You will make mistakes. Running a business is often about trial and error and not being devastated if something doesn’t work out. You also have to trust in your people and empower them to realize their potential.”
“Entrepreneurs are also employers,” adds Adrian. “Most of our management team has been with the company for over a decade, and the reasons for that are quite simple: the working environment and competitive salaries.”
“And that environment is about being fair to our employees in all respects,” says Sinan. “And being driven to succeed. We attract and retain a lot of top talent because they want to work for a company they can be proud of.”
A holistic approach
Our founders decided early on to take a holistic approach to wealth management. They believed this was the best approach for clients with a substantial net worth and complicated portfolios.
“Our value proposition was actually quite simple,” says Adrian. “Many of our clients did not want to deal with a multitude of lawyers, advisors, and other service providers around the world. They appreciated the comfort of one point of contact – one family office that breaks down the complexity, coordinates the services, and structures their wealth in a clear and easily understandable way. It’s still that way today.”
“Relationship managers at banks are just can’t do that,” says Sinan. “They are servicing multiple clients and don’t have time, nor are they allowed to talk to the client about structuring, tax, or other issues that are just as important as pure asset management. As independent wealth managers with a holistic approach, we can analyze each client’s unique situation, family dynamics, and long-term objectives. When we left the bank, we just knew that was going to lead to a better service.”
Making a mark
Marcuard Heritage has become one of Switzerland’s leading independent wealth management companies. Looking back over the past twenty years, what helped us rise above the norm?
“We stand out because we never stood still,” says Sinan. “We pushed into new markets, such as the B2B business, when we set up Alpinum Investment Management (AIM), our asset management arm. And we invested in our company rather than maximizing payouts to partners and shareholders. This allowed us to establish a network and offices across multiple jurisdictions.”
“AIM stands out to me as well,” says Adrian. “Our very own professional money manager with an impressive track record has given us a competitive edge. What also stands out is the depth of our services. We limited the geography of our client markets, but that means we know them better than anyone else.”
Although Switzerland is renowned for its private banking institutions and recognized as the world’s premier wealth management center, the Swiss financial sector is under increasing scrutiny. What challenges do our industry and our business face?
“The Swiss financial industry must stay competitive and safeguard its international reputation,” says Adrian. “Wealthy clients are moving their assets elsewhere, so as an industry, we must learn from past mistakes.”
“I agree. And I believe the industry has to concentrate on what it does best,” says Sinan. “And that’s service quality. The quality of service in Switzerland remains, without a doubt, among the best in the world. We need to keep it that way. The current situation has allowed other private banking centers to thrive and new ones to emerge. We have to navigate this changing landscape, continue delivering exceptional service, and not forget our roots and values.”
Leaving a legacy
At Marcuard Heritage, client relationships come first. The challenge is maintaining them over the long term and from generation to generation. Sinan and Adrian agree that you must lay the groundwork for generational change early – that a lasting legacy requires a solid foundation.
“Handing over our business to new leadership is just as important as preparing our clients’ wealth for the next generation,” says Sinan. “Our successors ensure we understand the next generation of clients. So far, we’re managing the transition well because we integrated it into our planning and thinking very early on.”
“It’s no coincidence that the word ‘heritage’ is right in our name,” says Adrian. “We set up and structured our business to safeguard each client’s legacy for future generations. That includes a proactive approach to creating connections among generations because a close and trusting client relationship is still the best differentiator. When we understand the preferences of each generation, we can effectively cater to them and meet their needs.”
“We’re also gradually handing over responsibility and empowering our management to lead the company forward,” adds Sinan. “We have been transitioning for several years now – it’s not something that happens overnight.”
A digital future?
The digital transformation is underway in our industry. Our founders see risks and opportunities but caution that wealth management should always be based on people and personal relationships.
“I’m quite happy to hand this responsibility over to the next generation, who are more digitally savvy than me,” says Sinan with a smile. “Technology is certainly opening up new possibilities like working more efficiently, running better analytics, and reducing human errors. But I’m a people person, and I believe the best way to manage wealth is to sit down together, establish trust, and gain an intimate understanding of each unique situation. The danger I see is younger generations relying too much on technology and less on personal interaction with clients and colleagues.”
“I couldn’t agree more,” says Adrian. “So far, and in our experience, most people want to speak with a real person, especially individuals or families with substantial net worth. Trust is essential, and building it can only happen in person, in my opinion. The future may be digital, but I believe the most successful client relationships will be analog and in person.”
If your future outlook aligns with ours, you value trust and personal relationships, and you want to serve your clients better, please get in touch. We’re always looking to connect with like-minded relationship managers.

text: We investigated the molecular basis for factor VII (FVII) deficiency in Israel and found that 13 patients were homozygous and 10 heterozygous for a C to T substitution at nucleotide 10648 of the FVII gene. This predicted an Ala244Val change and was associated with decreased FVII activity and antigen level. Of the 36 Ala244Val positive alleles, 20 were observed in patients of Moroccan origin, 10 in Iranian-Jewish patients and 6 in patients of other origins. A computer model of the serine protease domain of FVII suggested that the Ala244Val substitution may cause distortion of the entire protein structure. Intragenic polymorphic sites analyses disclosed a founder effect for the Moroccan and Iranian-Jewish patients. A survey of the Ala244Val mutation revealed an allele frequency of 1:42.5 in Moroccan Jews and 1:40 in Iranian Jews. As Moroccan Jews have been separated from Iranian Jews for more than two millennia, the data suggest that the Ala244Val mutation occurred in ancient times.

I’m back with another Top Ten list and this time I’m focusing on my list of what are, in my opinion, the Top Ten Neo-Geo Games.
I am a big fan of Neo-Geo games even though I have never owned any of the hardware, be it the AES or MVS. Even so, I grew up playing many Neo-Geo games in the arcades around my area and at other arcades on trips or vacations. With the recent release of the first SNK Arcade CIassics compilation I have been drawn back into the greatness that is the Neo-Geo. You can read my review of SNK Arcade CIassics Vol. 1 for PSP here. Without further delay, here is what I consider the Top Ten Neo-Geo Games:
NOTE: This is my list, not yours. If you make a comment asking why a certain game isn’t on the list, it will be deleted.

Abstract 3097: Acute In-hospital Stroke: How Do We Do Compared To Strokes In The Emergency Department?
Introduction: Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) has been approved for treating strokes up to 3 hours after onset of symptoms and may be beneficial up to 4.5 hours in patients who qualify. Additionally, neuro-intervention, i.e., intra-arterial thrombolysis or thrombectomy, is also an approved treatment option. Population studies show that 6% receive IV tPA within 3 hours of stroke onset. However, in-hospital strokes present challenges to treating within an adequate time. We present here our experience with in-hospital strokes, treatments, and identifiable delays in treatments.
Methods: Single, tertiary center retrospective study of 55 in-hospital strokes over a one-year period from January 2009 to January 2010, and strokes in the Emergency Department over 6 month period from January 2010 to June 2010.
Results: Twenty-nine in-hospital strokes were evaluated within 3 hours of symptoms onset. Two (6.9%) received IV tPA, and four (13.8%) received neuro-intervention (either intra-arterial thrombolysis or thrombectomy). None of the patients who presented greater than 3 hours after symptom onset was treated with any treatment (n=28). When compared to patients who present to the ED within 3 hours, in-hospital strokes were less likely to get IV tPA (6.9% vs. 20.8%), and they were more likely to receive neuro-intervention (13.8% vs. 10.3%). Neuro-intervention was performed on 9.09% of all in-hospital strokes (1 of 5 presented beyond the 3 hour time window). For in-hospital strokes that receive any treatment within 3 hours, the average time to neurology evaluation, to CT, and to treatment are 35 min, 68 min, and 237 min, respectively. For strokes in the Ed, the average time to evaluation, to CT, and to treatment are 90 min, 28 min, and 66 min respectively. The delay for in-hospital strokes is in obtaining the CT and initiating the treatment.
Discussion: In-hospital stroke patients wait longer than their ED counterparts to be taken to CT and to receive stroke treatment. They are also less likely to receive IV tPA, and more likely to receive neuro-intervention. The longer time to neuro-imaging and thrombolytic treatment may reflect the fact that patients suffering in-hospital strokes have more complex medical co-morbidities that must be taken account during the evaluation and administration of thrombolytic therapy.
