There is nothing quite like a creamy homemade nut milk! You will absolutely love my plant-based Homemade Creamy Cashew Milk, which is made from scratch and way better than any store-bought milk! Simply soak raw cashews before blending for the best nut milk you have ever had in your life! This cashew milk is packed with health benefits and is super versatile. And its completely Vegan, Dairy-free & Zero-waste!
I've been making dairy-free milk for a few years now and I've experimented with a lot of different varieties like the classics - Coconut Milk, Oat Milk, and Almond Milk and a few more unusual nut-free plant-based ones like Quinoa Milk and even Potato Milk! But this Homemade Creamy Cashew Milk is one of my absolute favorites. Homemade nut milks are a great dairy-free alternative, are typically less expensive, easy to create, and free of stabilisers, gums, and other additives. Thats a win win if you ask me!
Sure, we all go out and buy a carton of nut milk on our weekly grocery trips. Oftentimes, we are also buying the very nuts that the milk is derived from. With using only a few simple ingredients, you can make your own homemade cashew milk at home with barely any effort. All you need are your favorite nuts, water, a sweetener, and a high-powered blender and Voliaaaa!
This incredibly easy Homemade Creamy Cashew Milk will last a few days in your refrigerator, but mine usually doesn't last longer than 48 hours. I love to add nut milk to anything, especially when it is a homemade variety! It's the perfect excuse to snack on healthy cereal, make oatmeal, or make something comforting like homemade Vegan Mac and Cheese!
Never made nut milk before? No problem! This is a no-cook recipe and is beginner level. Once you make a plant-based nut milk once, you can experiment with all types of flavors to perfect your perfect milk recipe. Plus, this recipe is Gluten-free, Vegan, and Dairy-free.
Plant milk is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cutting out animal products. While I am not a full-time vegan, I prefer to work more vegan dishes into my diet for their great taste and their health benefits. It can be challenging to go vegan or incorporate vegan meals, but the planet and the farm animals will thank you for it.
There are so many plant-based replacements for animal products. Years ago, vegans could not rely on all of the wonderful plant-based products available today. Now, plant milk, vegan cheese, and meatless meat are increasingly common in both grocery stores and restaurants.
Now is the time to take the leap if you are considering becoming vegan. Finding healthy vegan options gets easier by the day, plus, it is not hard to make vegan-based foods at home. Making Homemade Creamy Cashew Milk is a great start to becoming plant-based.
It is required that you soak your cashews for quite some time before blending. By soaking the cashews, you are softening them to prepare the nuts for blending. Without soaking your nuts, the nut milk would contain grit and a less pleasant texture. Soaking the nuts also creates a creamy texture that does not require straining the solids.
My preferred method of soaking my cashews is overnight at room temperature. I also cover the soaking container with plastic wrap so that everything stays really fresh. If you do not have all night or many hours to soak your cashews, you can instead use boiling water.
By using boiling water instead of room temperature, the nuts will soak much faster due to the presence of heat. Soak the nuts in the hot water for only 30 minutes before blending. While this is a great way of quickly soaking cashews, the overnight method produces the optimal texture and creaminess, in my opinion.
Only a handful of ingredients are needed to make the most delicious nut milk ever!
Simply rinse your soaked cashews and add them and 2-3 cups of water to a high-powered blender (I love to use my Vitamix but any high powered blender will do) and blend on low-speed, increasing slowly to medium-high speed for about 2 minutes.
**NOTE: Do not over-fill blender, therefore add 2 cups at a time if needed.
Once the cashews are broken down completely, add another cup of water along with the agave, vanilla, and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
Refrigerate milk (tightly sealed) for up to 4 days. Stir before using, if needed.
Many homemade nut-milks require you to strain after blending with a nut-milk bag! What I love about Homemade Creamy Cashew Milk is tha that you don’t have to strain it, making it not only an awesome dairy-free vegan alternaive to regular milk but its also totally zero-waste! There’s is genrally no pulp left when blended on high with a high powered blender! Less clean up time and more time to enjoy drinking this creamy milk!
The good news it that Cashew Milk is loaded with healthy plant-based vitamins and minerals!
Plant-based - Cashew milk is an excellent replacement for dairy milk and is a terrific option for individuals who have choose to follow a plant-based or dairy-free diet. In point of fact, cashew milk has a mouth feel that is quite similar to that of dairy milk, and it also has a flavour that is moderate and neutral, which makes it an excellent choice for people who are testing out the waters of a plant-based lifestyle.
Taste. Ok so no surpise here. It tastes like cashews, cashews take centre stage so if you enjoy cashews, you will most LOVE this plant-based dairy-free milk.
Versatile. As mentioned above, Cashew milk is super versatile. From soups to smoothies the options for using it are endless.
If you love this Homemade Creamy Cashew Milk, you will love these recipes that use our favoutite nutty friend cashew in them!

Believe it or not, these handmade plastic wire flower vases were once very popular in India. :-D . They were found in many living room showcases. Now we get fancier ones in shops. So I am not sure how many will make them now. But I am adding this tutorial to show one new technique in weaving – Increasing and decreasing diameter without using beads. The knot used in this tutorial is called wheat knot (kothumai mudichu / கோதுமை முடிச்சு in tamil)
Bangle – 1
Black wire – 5 feet long. Number of pieces will depend on diameter of bangle. I used 30 pieces of black wires.
Green will be the running wire.
You have to know to weave the wheat knot for this project. It is simple but If you need a detailed tutorial for that knot, please refer this tutorial.
Fold the black wire into half and make a knot in the bangle like shown below.
Continue adding more pieces side by side. Each knot will have two black wires coming out of it.
Now we have to wrap the running wire around the black wires. The picture below shows a closeup of the knot.
To make the knot, make a loop of the running wire.
Pull the two black wires from one knot through this loop.
Remember that two pieces of black wire will be pulled inside the loop.
We have wrapped the running wire around the black wires once and this is how it will appear at this stage.
Now repeat the same once more around the same two wires and you will have the wheat knot.
In the picture above, on the left, you can see the completed wheat knot and on the right, you can see how the knot appears after wrapping running wire once around the black wires.
Proceed to the next 2 black wires.
Once the first line is completed, continue to weave the next line.
5 lines completed. You can choose to add any number of lines.
Each green knot is made by wrapping the green wire around 2 black wires. To increase the diameter of the vase, we will split the wires.
Split the two black wires and start the next line.
Each green knot will now have 2 green knots in the line above it.
The diameter will double because of this.
I usually msrk the first wire so I know when a full circle is completed. This helps me count the number of rows I am adding. Continue weaving.
After 7 rows, we will begin to join the two black wires again.
You might have to pull them together to avoid gaps like this.
Appearance after 4 rows.
Now split the black wires again and add 3 more lines. This will form the broad top portion of the vase. We will not be using the green running wire any more. Leave 3 inches and cut it off and tuck in the end.
I started this vase by folding into half 30 wire pieces. So I will be having 60 black wires at the top. These will now be woven to form the rim of the vase.
Group them based on the number of triangles you want to add. Since I wanted 5 triangles, each group will have 12.
The knot used is the box knot / square knot. (Tutorial here)
First triangle is over.
Tuck in the wire like shown below.
Weave the handles. Handle tutorial is here. The handle is made by weaving 4 strands around the rest of the strands.
The black wires will now come through the center.
Tie them together with a rubber band if necessary. Cut the wires to required length and add plastic flowers at the end. I forgot to buy plastic flowers when I bought the wires. So I am unable to show a picture of them now.
Added later: I managed to get a few flowers. I think these are heavier than the ones I remember using many years ago. So the weight is pulling the wire down. Add the flowers first and then chop off the excess.

U Academics. Chile raise the need to strengthen the budget in science
Since 2018, every first Sunday in October, National Science Day is celebrated, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation, in order to promote these issues for the development of the country. Researchers from the House of Bello call for a rething of this date, giving you the importance of scientific work.
In the face of declining national science budget in 2021, academics at the University of Chile deepen the main challenges in creating and transmitting knowledge, in addition to raising the urgency of having a robust scientific-technological system consistent with the country's needs.
On October 1, the 2021 Draft Budget Act was entered into Congress, showing an increase in resources of just 0,7% for the Ministry of Science, from $436,275 to $439,507 million. Maintaining this funding required a $16.598 million rebate from the Innovation Funds, Science and Technology (FICYT), in addition to a budget cut by 25 billion pesos for the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) and the suspension of Chile's Overseas Postgraduate Scholarships.
In a context constrained by the effects of the current health crisis, University of Chile through its researchers and researchers, forms of knowledge creation and transmission are rethinked as part of the strategic axes of national progress. For the Vice-Chancellor of Research and Development, Flavio Salazar, "this is a symbolic day that requires incorporating the sciences, technology and innovation within a sustainable model. As a University, we are committed to establishing a policy on the subject, involving both the role of gender equity, such as the impact of research on national socio-economic development", said.
The role of science, technology and innovation for country development
According to the Social Perception Survey of Science and Technology, 79,9% of women and 83,4% of men believe that, over the next 20 years, developing these issues will bring many advances and benefits to the world. At the same time, was considered an increase in the relevance that the population gives to science, positioning itself as one of the sectors in which public investment should grow.
Social outburst and health crisis have made the importance of the scientific sector visible, by delivering answers to country problems. Among the projects that have been highlighted in this area, highlights the social robot developed by the Academic of the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Javier Ruiz del Solar. This technology has allowed to assist isolated patients with COVID-19 in the Hospital San Juan de Dios and the Clinical Hospital of the University of Chile.
Professor Ruiz del Solar said that "research in science and technology is increasingly important to address the challenges that our country has in areas as diverse as health, climate change, Industry 4.0, to name just a few. The gaps between Chile and developed countries are very wide, so we have to make an extra effort to be able to reduce them through research, technological innovation and advanced human capital development".
In the same way, artificial intelligence has played a relevant role over the past decade. The Academic of the Faculty of Medicine, Maria Elena Santolaya, has used this technology to optimize processes in clinical hospitals, in addition to working on the immunogenicity and safety of the Oxford VACCINE against COVID-19. "Countries that want to move towards development and respond to society's problems, they need to invest in science, technology, knowledge creation and innovation. The lack of investment in these areas keeps us in underdevelopment and puts us at a clear disadvantage in improving public policies", commented the expert.
On the other hand, the Academic of the Faculty of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and director of the Advanced Center for Chronic Diseases (ACCDiS ), Sergio Lavandero, has implemented research on the factors that influence or prevent disease development through multidisciplinary work covering basics, Clinical, Population, innovation and technology.
Professor Lavandero was recently awarded as Latin America's No.1 scientist for his cardiovascular research and referred to the science crisis in the country. "Today more than ever it is important to invest effectively, effective and efficient in science, technology and innovation, without losing focus on the formation of the next generations of relief. This pandemic showed that despite meeting us in the 21st century there is still much to be done and improved, new challenges and topics are always emerging to investigate", highlighted.
Education has been another relevant factor during the health crisis. The Academic in the Department of Mathematical Engineering and a member of the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM), Salomé Martínez, has focused his work on both teacher training, as in the development of new educational models. "During this period there have been enormous challenges that have had to be faced in real time. That's why it's important to think about what we're going to do over the next few years in terms of science to end the gaps, addressing immediate problems and getting ahead of new scenarios. This must be accompanied by funding that allows us to influence and a state that bets on science, especially at this time that the economy needs to be revived", Added.

Imatinib pharmacokinetics in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumour: A retrospective population pharmacokinetic study over time. EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group
Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology , Volume 55 - Issue 4 p. 379- 386
Imatinib pharmacokinetics (PK) may be affected by a number of factors that are related to the disease being treated and to the response of that disease to imatinib. Patients in the phase I and phase II trials conducted by the EORTC in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) and other sarcomas had detailed blood sampling for imatinib PK on day 1 and on day 29. Patients with GISTs also had repeat sampling, using a limited sampling strategy, after approximately 12 months on therapy. This population PK study was carried out to examine what covariates affected imatinib PK in GIST patients and what PK changes occurred over time. In the model producing the best fit, low clearance (CL) correlated with low body weight and high granulocyte count, whereas low haemoglobin correlated with low volume of distribution. For a patient with 77% of the median body weight or with 1.87 times the median granulocyte count, the apparent CL is 6.53 l/h, about 70% of the typical apparent CL of 9.33l/h; for a patient of 84% of the typical haemoglobin level, the volume of distribution is about 70%. Total white blood cell count correlated closely with granulocyte count and there was a moderate correlation between haemoglobin and albumin (r=0.454). There was a trend towards increased imatinib clearance after chronic exposure over 12 months. The typical apparent CL increased 33% from day 1. Nevertheless, the approximate 95% confidence interval of the increase of the typical apparent CL was 33±34.6%, which contains zero. It is not yet clear whether this is a significant factor in the amelioration of imatinib toxicity that occurs with time or is related to disease control, and further work is required to confirm this observation.

LETTER | Yesterday, Malaysiakini reported that more than 40,000 people have been displaced by the floods and are taking shelters at relief centres. The flood situation shows no sign of abatement when the same report noted that rain is expected to continue in the states hit by the floods.
This is not unexpected. Scientists have long warned that long-term global climate change causes more extreme weather patterns. These, in turn, make floods more likely. Therefore, I was neither shocked nor scared when I learned about the current flood situation.
What scares me instead is the lack of discussion which identifies climate change as the main culprit for the flood situation we find ourselves in. While many politicians had helped the flood victims, few, if any, have reached out to the public to explain that climate change is the main cause of the increasingly severe floods.
For example, judging from their recent posts on social media as of the time of writing, specifically Facebook, Environment and Water Minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has yet to make the connection; neither has Yeo Bee Yin, former energy, science, technology, environment and climate change minister.
But politicians are not the only ones missing the connection between climate change and increasingly severe floods. The media have also not done so. Whilst it might be argued that the role of media is to report what is happening in a neutral manner, it is my opinion that they should play a more active role and educate the public on the link between climate change and floods.
Ultimately, we, the rakyat, have only ourselves to blame. We do not ask our politicians how they intend to tackle climate change; we do not pressure the politicians to take the issue of climate change seriously. Many of us do not even understand the concept of climate change and what its impacts are.
Blaming others, particularly the politicians, is only too convenient and does not solve the predicament that we are in now. Each and every one of us – the government and the governed – has to first understand how climate change causes severe floods and then take the issue seriously.
If we do not, I dare say the floods would get increasingly out of control and scarier as the years go by.
WONG CHANG FU is a graduate of the National University of Singapore, where he studied climate change law, among others.
The views expressed here are those of the author/contributor and do not necessarily represent the views of Malaysiakini.

In the short preface to the sixth edition of this masterly book, J. Meller mentions that the previous edition of 1946 went out of print in less than a year. If confirmation of the great appeal of this book to eye surgeons were necessary, it would be clearly shown by this unusual demand.
The qualities of the text, which is one of the best teaching aids in ophthalmology ever written, will be remembered by all who had contact with the previous editions. This concise presentation of surgical procedures on the eye and its adnexa contains all essentials for the young ophthalmologist. Clear language, comprehensive organization and a logical selection of material again characterize the new edition, which is a revision by Meller's pupil Josef Bock. He wisely did not alter essentially many of the chapters based on the experience of the great surgeon, teacher and master of the German language.

A Look into Transference and Countertransference
We explored different types of transference including:
- Mirror transference
- Twinship Transference
- Transformational Transference
As always, Bev used references to some quotes from respected writers in the field to illustrate her seminar. I’ve included some of these below.
‘The transferential relationship is indistinguishable from any other relationship. It is part of how we co-create the relationship between others and ourselves.’ Hargaden and Sills (2002)
‘It is the responsibility of the therapist to acknowledge, recognise, and hear the drumbeat of her own inarticulate heart longings, in the service of understanding the communication from her patient.’ (Hargden & Sills 2002: 48)
‘By cultivating a freely-roused emotional sensibility, the analyst welcomes news from within himself that is reported through his own intuitions, feelings, passing images, phantasies….in order to find the [client] patient we must look for him within ourselves.’ Bollas 1987: 202

Lithuanians LOVE basketball — and right now the entire country has basketball fever because Lithuania is hosting Eurobasket 2011. The European basketball championship games start August 31 and the final rounds will held in a brand new arena in Kaunas on September 18. The arena was officially opened last Thursday with a “friendly game” between Lithuania and Spain, the reigning European champions. Lithuania won (whoo-hoo!) but I’ve been told that they don’t have a particularly strong team this year and probably won’t get a medal. But that doesn’t mean that the streets aren’t awash with red/yellow/green basketball paraphernalia. There is even an official song featuring three Lithuanian pop starts. Go Lithuania!!

How will young Bow grow and learn in the second season of the Mixed-ish TV show on ABC? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Mixed-ish is cancelled or renewed for season three. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the second season episodes of Mixed-ish here. *Status Update Below.
An ABC family comedy, the Mixed-ish TV show stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tika Sumpter, Christina Anthony, Arica Himmel, Ethan William Childress, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Gary Cole, and Tracee Ellis Ross (narrator). In this prequel spin-off series, Rainbow “Bow” Johnson (Ross) from Black-ish recounts her experiences of growing up in a mixed-race family in the 1980s. Bow’s parents, Paul (Gosselaar) and Alicia (Sumpter), decided to move from a hippie commune to the suburbs so that they could better provide for their family. As her parents struggle with the challenges of their new lives in a more typical community, young Bow (Himmel) and her siblings, Santamonica (Harris) and Johan (Childress), navigate a mainstream school in which they’re perceived as neither black nor white. This family’s experiences illuminate the challenges of finding one’s own identity when the rest of the world can’t decide where you belong.
What do you think? Which season two episodes of the Mixed-ish TV series do you rate as wonderful, terrible, or somewhere between? Do you think that Mixed-ish should be cancelled or renewed for a third season on ABC? Don’t forget to vote, and share your thoughts, below.
*5/14/21 update: Mixed-ish has been cancelled by ABC.

Corrections have been made to Figure 4, which mislabeled the floating crane on the side of the secure boat basin as the submersible test barge. Although difficult to determine conclusively, the submersible test barge appears to be berthed under the awning. Additionally, discussion by Dave Schmerler provided clarification about what is likely a truck crane parked on the quay. Article updated 10.02.19.
Recent commercial satellite imagery of North Korea’s Sinpo South Shipyard from August 26 and September 23 indicates that construction continues on a new ballistic missile submarine (SSB). Previous reports have suggested that the submarine is nearing completion, given the recent construction of a retractable awning that could be intended to conceal the new boat. That may prove to be true, however, the awning may also be intended to improve concealment of activity related to the existing SINPO-class submarine or any vessel and, therefore, is not a reliable indicator of the imminent launch of a new boat.
The presence of a cylindrical canister and support vehicles near the submersible test barge berthed at the secure boat basin strongly indicates that preparations are underway for the testing of a dummy round from its missile launch ejection system. This test is routinely done prior to actual missile launches, to ensure that the missile can be ejected at the proper speed and angle before committing to ejection and launch from the submarine.
There is still uncertainty about the type of submarine actually under construction at Sinpo. Photos released with reports of Kim Jong Un’s visit to the Sinpo South Shipyard on July 23 suggest that the submarine inspected by Kim was a modified ROMEO-class design, not the SINPO-C class ballistic missile submarine widely believed to be under construction.
The size of the construction hall could support building an additional submarine although there is no evidence to suggest that activity is underway. This does raise several possibilities, however. Pyongyang may have decided not to move forward with building the SINPO-C class submarine. Or it may have started building the SINPO-C, but ran into problems and focused on a modified ROMEO-class submarine instead in order to be able to show progress in submarine development. A final possibility is that it may be building both the ROMEO and SINPO-C class submarines simultaneously. Regardless, North Korea appears to be working to establish a credible submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) capability.
Construction and Canister Ejection Test Preparation
The movement of parts and equipment to and from the parts yard adjacent to the construction hall indicates construction on the new ballistic missile submarine has continued since Kim Jong Un’s reported visit. While this doesn’t negate assertions that the North may be launching the submarine soon, the retractable awning in the secure boat basin can conceal any additional work that may be done to fit out the boat once it is in the water, helping to maintain ambiguity.
Figure 1. Overview of the construction halls and parts yard at Sinpo South Shipyard, August 26, 2019.
Figure 2. Movement of parts and equipment observed at the parts yard adjacent to the construction halls.
Imagery from August 26 shows the presence of four vessels berthed at the secure boat basin: the submersible barge used for underwater launch testing, a support vessel, a 17.5-meter-long midget submarine and the SINPO-class experimental ballistic missile submarine (SSBA). Personnel and objects are observed on the quay near both the submarine and the barge along with a crane and a 10.35 m x 1.75 m cylindrical canister on a truck with two support vehicles on both sides.
Figure 3. Overview of the secure boat basin, four vessels present on August 26.
In imagery from September 23, the cylindrical canister and associated support equipment now appear on the submersible test barge along with support vessels. The canister transport truck and crane are still on the quay. These activities suggest that preparations for a pop-up ejection test are likely underway. The retractable awning conceals a submarine berthed at the secure boat basin, although the bow marking suggests it is still the SINPO-class experimental ballistic missile submarine.
Figure 4. Possible test canister visible, awning conceals a probable submarine at the secure boat basin.
The Pukguksong-1 missile is believed to be 8.6 m long and 1.5 m in diameter.
The use of an integrated missile-launch canister would be a significant improvement over that of a launch tube fixed to the submarine, as is the case with the SINPO-class SSBA, where the bare missile had to be carefully inserted into the tube. Safety, reliability and reload speed are the primary benefits.
Careful photographic analysis by H.I. Sutton concludes the “new” submarine Kim Jong Un inspected in July is a modification of the decades-old Soviet ROMEO-class conventional submarine. The North Koreans appear to have removed the aft battery compartment to make room for the missile tubes and extended the length, width and height of the sail. Three missiles are the most this configuration can accommodate. It is unclear whether the new SSB is a conversion of one of the remaining active ROMEOs or a refurbishment of a previously inactive hull. (The DPRK is known to have up to 20 ROMEO-class submarines in service.)
There are a few reasons why getting a modified ROMEO operational would enhance North Korea’s naval capabilities, including:
- The ability to test the effects of launching a sequence of missiles such as buoyancy changes with each launch, missile guidance system initialization issues, getting the boat to stop rocking between launches, etc.;
- Changing the mission of the ROMEO submarines from attack to SSBs as an inexpensive means to field a fleet; and
- There may be design/development issues with the SINPO-C.
However, there is also wide belief that a SINPO-C class SSB is under construction at Sinpo. That view may prove to be wrong, but if it’s true, given the size of the construction hall—210 m long with two launch gangways—it is possible that both the modified ROMEO and the SINPO-C class submarines are currently under construction with the ROMEO being more complete.

Do you know your DDA from your Doc M?
By Strafford Cooke, Mila.
It’s part of my job to advise Mila Hardware on new standards and regulations so that we are always up to date with the latest requirements when designing new products. But even I sometimes struggle with determining what’s a legal requirement and what’s a recommendation which we don’t actually have to adhere to by law.
That was the situation a while ago when a customer asked Mila for a ‘DDA compliant handle’. Even though the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act was replaced by the Equality Act in England, Scotland and Wales in 2010 requiring public authorities and service providers to make accessible design adjustments, most people in this industry still refer to window and door hardware designed for the elderly or less able as ‘DDA handles’.
When I asked the customer what standard they thought referred to the requirement for a DDA handle, they mentioned Lifetime Homes but, even though planning authorities still often refer to Lifetimes Homes when granting planning permission, that in itself was actually abolished in 2015 and is all set to be replaced with Future Homes in 2025.
Lifetime Homes was always an independent standard anyway – developed by a number of housing associations in the 1990s specifically for new homes. It included 16 design criteria to ensure homes had the flexibility to be adapted to meet the changing needs of individuals and families at different stages of their lives. It remains optional, but many of the elements of the Lifetime Homes Standard have actually been incorporated into the latest version of Building Regulations approved Document M.
Now this is where things got confusing – even for me! I couldn’t find any specific reference to door handle dimensional requirements in ADM; the only reference to handle design for accessible and inclusive furniture is BS8300, which, even though it applies primarily to non-dwellings, was referenced in the DDA – so effectively, I had done a complete circle.
BS8300 requires a lever which is easier for people with any weakness in their hands to manipulate and recommends a gap of 45mm between the handle and the face of the door and a visual contrast between the two.
That got the team at Mila thinking. When we were developing our new Supa safety handle, we obviously had to take the requirements of BS8300 into account, but the other key driver for the design team was to create a handle which we felt had the potential to become the standard option for fabricators working in social housing and public sector regardless of whether the installation was for the elderly or less able.
For those types of fabricators, having a standard handle on all their doors which complies with BS8300, DDA, Lifetime Homes and Doc M would not only simplify procurement and day to day fabrication by eliminating multiple stocking and fitting options, but could also potentially help them win new business.
As a result, the Mila Supa safety handle is designed to look very similar to our mainstream Supa door handles so that it doesn’t shout DDA. It is also manufactured in our Supa durable stainless steel, which comes with a 25-year guarantee on the finish and the mechanical operation to give the fabricator, the installer and the housing provider reassurance that there will be no costly remedials down the line.
And we can provide independent analysis for public sector buyers of the sustainability of our stainless-steel hardware vs zinc helping them to achieve the carbon reduction targets which are increasingly part of their specification check lists.
The Mila Supa Safety handle was launched at the start of the year and is in stock for immediate delivery. More details are at: https://www.mila.co.uk/supasafetydoorhandle/

Beer Review 0387: Aviator Black Mamba Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal Stout
Aviator Brewing Company are located in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina (near the state capital of Raleigh) and are appropriately named — the brewery began producing beer in an airplane hangar, using retrofitted dairy equipment.
In 2010, just two short years after opening, Aviator moved to a larger location just a few miles away, where they continue to grow. Recently, they installed a canning line and began canning some of their beers. They also have a tap house and a smokehouse, where they smoke meat and cook barbecue.
Aviator distributes to North Carolina, South Carolina, and parts of Kentucky and Florida. Today’s beer is their Black Mamba Oatmeal Stout, which is aged in American oak bourbon barrels for several weeks. Aviator makes a non-barrel aged version of this brew, but strangely enough, it’s not bottled. The barrel-aged Black Mamba is brewed with molasses, comes in at 6.5% ABV (alcohol by volume), and a very bitter 87 IBUs (International Bitterness Units). I’m wondering if that IBU number isn’t a mistake; after all, this is an Oatmeal Stout…
Release from bottle produced a small, creamy, tan colored head that lasted. The beer was very dark brown, almost black, and had a clear body that featured only a dusting of light sediment. The lacing was very nice, leaving behind creamy spider web sheets all along my glass.
The nose reminded me of a classic bourbon barrel aged stout; there’s plenty of nice bourbon up front, not too hot, coupled with vanilla and chocolate. There’s coffee and caramel, which contribute to the sweetness, and just a touch of pine hops on the back end. Lingering in the mix are woodsy oak, and the whole aroma really reminded me of a nice cake batter. Sweet!
But things began to change a little on the taste. Those 87 IBUs I thought might have been a mistake? Oh, they’re here, alright: lots of pine bitterness from the get-go, which mixes with bourbon and dark chocolate. I can’t say that the pine and bourbon mix well together; it’s fairly astringent but subsides to a nice middle of the mouth, which smooths out into more of an Oatmeal Stout with chocolate, coffee, and oaked bourbon. There’s even a creamy texture for a fleeting moment, until the finish, where the hops kick back up and deliver a massive wall of grapefruit/pine bitterness and hot bourbon. Black Mamba is full-bodied, with a thin, foamy mouthfeel.
This beer is more like a Black IPA than an Oatmeal Stout. And honestly, the bourbon doesn’t exactly play well with the hops but for half of the taste. Decent flavors are here, but this beer is odd. Worthy of a try, but go in thinking barrel aged Black IPA, not Oatmeal Stout.
Aviator Black Mamba Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal Stout, 85 points. Price: $9.99 US for one 22 oz. bomber size bottle.

A 10-month -long, £50,000 report into parking across Lytham, St Annes, and Ansdell, has been slammed as ‘unworkable’ and an ‘opportunity missed’.
Concessions for business users on seafront sites are among proposals being put forward to ease parking congestion on Fylde’s town centre streets.
Improved signing to off-street spaces and partial refunds of off-street parking fees in St Annes shops are other recommendations following a major survey of parking across Lytham St Annes.
But traders and residents have criticised the survey – commissioned at a cost of more than £50,000 by Lancashire County Council, which controls on-street parking – as not going far enough to alleviate ongoing problems.
St Annes town mayor Coun Ed Nash has long been campaigning for a residents’ parking scheme in town centre streets which currently have unrestricted parking.
He labelled the survey “a cosmetic exercise”, while St Annes Chamber of Trade has vowed to fight on in its long-standing bid to shopping area parking limits extended from one hour to two, also a concern in Lytham.
Disappointment at these findings is an understatement. I don’t think it is a case of our concerns not being listened to but they have been ignored or misinterpretedAndrew Fallow
The Chamber collected more than 3,000 signatures from business owners and shoppers on a petition which it presented to Fylde Council – responsible for off-street parking – and Lancashire County Council calling for the change to allow shoppers more time to browse stores.
But the survey has suggested keeping the status quo to encourage optimum turnover of vehicles and maintain the vitality of the town centres.
The County Council, however, has pledged, in the wake of the survey’s findings, to open up discussions with Fylde Council to encourage concessionary business use of car parks on St Annes promenade in a bid to encourage town centre workers away from residential streets as well as planning to talk with the Chamber of Trade over a refund scheme in shops.
Meanwhile in Lytham, where residents have also been pressing for scheme to free up spaces on unrestricted streets they say are often filled all day by workers and commuters, the County Council is also planning talks with Fylde over concessions for workers on Central Beach car parks.
But resident Liz Bachelor, who has long been campaigning for a residential parking scheme outside her home on Agnew Street, said: “It’s just not workable.
“My street is full all ways every working day and we need a residential parking scene.
“Concessionary spaces on the station car park might work but not Central Beach – people aren’t going to walk that far.”
Coun Nash feels the same way about the idea of St Annes town centre workers being offered the chance of concessionary spaces on seafront car parks after the survey’s findings dismissed the ides of a residential parking scheme as it was felt there are currently enough spaces for residents as well as workers and that residents’ permits are difficult to administer in areas with many properties having multiple occupation.
“Town centre streets such as Orchard Road, All Saints Road and Richmond Road are clogged up with workers’ cars all day and it makes it very difficult for emergency services and delivery drivers as well as residents,” he said.
“If they think workers are going to park at the seafront and walk to their offices, particularly when the winds are raging in winter, they are more optimistic than I am.
“The survey is just a cosmetic exercise which has failed to address the reality of the situation and we will fight on to find a way to ease the congestion,
“There are some welcome aspects, such as designated drop-off points for coaches, but as far as I am concerned, these findings are not the end, they are just the beginning.”
Arnold Sumner, co-ordinator of St Annes Chamber of Trade, said the Chamber would be happy to sit down with County Council representatives to talk about the idea of businesses refunding shoppers park of their off-street parking fee.
But he added that initial thought that such a scheme would be difficult to implement.
“It might work if people are spending large amounts but not for smaller transactions,” he said. “We have been long been pressing for two-hour spaces in the centre to allow drivers time to browse the shops in comfort rather than having to rush back to their vehicles and we are very disappointed that the county council survey has dismissed our concerns.”
Andrew Fallow, chairman of Lytham Business Partnership, said: “Disappointment at these findings is an understatement. I don’t think it is a case of our concerns not being listened to but they have been ignored or misinterpreted and I am really surprised that there aren’t more recommendations. This really is an opportunity missed.”
The County Council says the survey was commissioned to find the best way to address competing demands of residents, visitors and businesses while maintaining road safety and minimising congestion.
Carried out over 10 months by environmental specialists Jacobs, it included carrying out a number of consultation workshops to understand the concerns of local residents, councillors and businesses as well as a detailed analysis of parking patterns.
The County Council say the following solutions offered aim to ensure the best use of parking capacity in the central areas.
Improve signing to off-street car parks to ensure they’re better-used by visitors.
·Provide resident parking on South Clifton Street and Cottage Row to reduce congestion on these narrow roads.
·Monitor and control through police enforcement the parking and use of road space of lorries delivering to supermarkets on Clifton Street.
·Open discussions with Fylde Borough Council to explore whether concessionary rates could be offered to staff working at local businesses on Central Beach car parks, to free up more short-stay on-street parking spaces.
In St Annes:
Improve signing to off-street car parks to ensure they’re better-used by visitors.
·Open discussions with Fylde Borough Council to explore whether concessionary rates could be offered to staff working at local businesses on car parks on the promenade, to free up more short-stay on-street parking spaces.
·Open discussions with the Chamber of Trade to explore whether businesses favour offering incentives to encourage customers to use off-street car parks. This could ease congestion and encourage more frequent turnover of on-street parking.
·Provide three more spaces for disabled drivers on St George’s Road.
Explore opportunities to create more drop off points for coaches to boost tourism.
·Extend ‘no waiting’ restrictions on Central Drive between Gordon Road and Lansdowne Road to reduce congestion to cars and buses.
County Coun John Fillis, Lancashire County Council cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “It’s vital to manage parking in busy central areas to ensure people can visit the shops, get to work, and park near their homes. This helps to support the local economy, improve road safety, and ensure residents are not unreasonably inconvenienced.
“This review has been a very thorough piece of work to look at the way on-street parking works in Lytham, Ansdell and St Annes, and the options available to deal with some of the issues that were raised during the consultation.
“The report concludes that while there is pressure on parking in the central areas, particularly at peak times, there is no simple solution to managing the competing demands, and the most practical way to improve the situation is to maximise use of the existing capacity both on-street and off-street.
“There are also some proposals to better manage parking in specific areas, to reduce congestion, increase safety, and ensure residents are able to park.
“I support the solutions that have been put forward and we will now begin work to put them in place.
“Where the proposals involve making changes to traffic regulations we’ll carry out specific consultations to ensure the views of those affected are fully considered before a decision is made.
“We’ll discuss the recommendations with local councillors, Fylde Borough Council and the Chamber of Trade as some of the proposals involve creating incentives to encourage more use of off-street car parks by both visitors and people who work nearby. This has the potential to free up some of the on-street parking and encourage turnover to support trade.
“I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to the consultation, and hope residents and businesses alike will work with us to provide solutions which best meet everyone’s needs.”
The findings were being shared this week with interested parties including Fylde Council representatives and a Fylde spokesman said: “Parking issues have been under the spotlight for some time now and this study has been a very large piece of work that has looked at all the issues.
“The recommendations have to be looked at in conjunction with Fylde Council’s work in making the use of car parks more flexible in the last 12 months.
“We have introduced shorter stays and also the Fylde Residents’ Parking Scheme that aims to encourage use of car parks at non-peak times.
“We look forward to working with the county council in implementing this proposals.”

Inferior Book Review
In Inferior, acclaimed science writer Angela Saini weaves together a fascinating—and sorely necessary—new science of women. For hundreds of years it was common sense: women were the inferior sex.
Each chapter in Inferior is structured around a misconception or controversy in research about gender, including brain size and intelligence, health, sexual choice and menopause.
So important is Saini's message that crowdfunding campaigns have popped up around the world to get her book into the hands of teenagers through their high school libraries.
Detail of the cover of Inferior, Angela Saini's book on the true power of women and the science that shows it.
