Land Use Bylaw in Wetaskiwin Did You Know…?
by Barry McDonald
You may own your lot and you may own your home but you don't have 100% control of what you are allowed to do with that property. The City of Wetaskiwin Land Use By-law is a piece of legislation that has been created to regulate and control the use and development of all land and buildings within the City. This by-law can only be approved or amended by City Council. The by-law regulates what properties may be developed, and how they may be developed, through the development permit approval process.
A new garage, new fence, new deck, new business or new building all come under the regulations of the Land Use By-law. Any changes to types of uses, the mix of housing types and densities, the location of businesses, shops and services as well as specific requirements such as parking, fencing, landscaping and building height are all regulated by the By-law.
Some examples of things you should know were presented to City Council on July 23, 2012 by Charlene Malmas, Acting Development Manager.
Fence Permits
• You do require a permit for a fence.
• Residential fence permits are FREE.
• Residential fences may be constructed of wood, concrete, brick, manufactured plastic boards, or chain link fence materials.
• Barbed wire fencing is not allowed in any district except as parallel security wire on top of commercial and industrial chain link fencing or agricultural areas
• In residential districts fences must not be higher than 1.0 m beyond the front face of the principal building to the property line (front yard) and 1.8 m on side or rear yards.
Objects and Uses Prohibited in Residential Areas
• In residential areas, from April 1st to October 31st inclusive, recreational vehicles may be parked on a driveway to within 1.0 m of the interior edge of the municipal sidewalk or within 1.0m. of the curb if there is no sidewalk provided they do not obstruct the visibility of motorists in an adjacent private driveway, alley or intersection.
• You cannot have open unprotected excavations without advisory signage, safety fencing or onsite security
• From November 1st to March 31st inclusive it is prohibited to have a recreational vehicle located in the front yard in a residential property for longer than is reasonably necessary to load or unload such a vehicle, and not exceeding 72 hours.
Utilities to Sites
• Where an un-serviced site exists and municipal water, sanitary sewer andor storm sewer service mains are available, and a development application is made to construct or place a building on the site that requires service connections, the owner must enter into a development agreement with the City regarding the cost of installing the necessary services.
• Where an infill site existing that has been previously developed and the site was serviced with water andor sanitary sewer, and a development permit application has been made to construct a building on the site, depending on the age of the service, type of materials and condition of the services, the owner of the property may be required to install new services from the municipal mains at their cost. This includes road sub base and surface repair, curb and gutter repair, sidewalk repair and boulevard landscaping.
• Where a development permit application has been made to construct a building where the existing services do not meet the size and capacity of the proposed development, the owner must enter into an agreement to upgrade the necessary services and restore the surface and subsurface infrastructure.
Private Swimming Pools
• A private swimming pool is an artificial pool of water deeper than 600m at any point, used in conjunction with a single dwelling building.
• A development permit is required for a private swimming pool.
• Except for hot tubs, the entire area of an outdoor swimming pool shall be protected by a fence, building, wall or enclosure that can prevent access by unauthorized persons, and its height above ground level shall not be less than 1.8m.
• A private swimming pool shall be setback 1.5m away from any property line.
Before starting to develop or build, contact the City of Wetaskiwin Development Department for a more thorough review of what permits are required for development and services. Also, for any general inquiries call 780 361 4400.

The transcervical approach to permanent female sterilization has been studied for more than 150 years. Methods for accessing the tubes via this approach include blind, radiological and visual (hysteroscopic) techniques. Modalities for occluding the fallopian tubes include thermal, chemical and mechanical means. Some combination of the approach and the occlusive method define all known procedures. Initial attempts at transcervical sterilization were not widely adopted due to an inability to occlude the tube reliably, resulting in pregnancy and/or high morbidity from the procedure. Quinacrine sterilization is a procedure that is widely used in the developing world, but this has not been taken up by the developed world. There are limitations in diagnosing tubal occlusion with this technique. New methods for transcervical sterilization include the Essure and the Adiana procedures. These methods involve hysteroscopic placement of devices that rely on both mechanical occlusion and stimulation of tissue ingrowth to effect tubal occlusion. These new devices can be delivered to more than 90% of tubes, have very high success rates of pregnancy prevention (>99% in studies to date) and are acceptable to patients. Most importantly, they can be fitted under local anaesthesia in an ambulatory setting. The cost advantages of transcervical sterilization have not yet been investigated. It is possible that such a modality for permanent female sterilization may be demonstrated to be highly cost-effective.

Q: How to delete specific NSObject in Array with Swift3 I made table view with friends contact info.
And Each cell has button if touched,
I want to insert the info to selected friend array
(by the array, I made another small view to slide up with the friends list).
But If user the button one more,
I want to delete the friend Info in the selected friend array.
I know how to append to array,
but I don't know how to erase the specific item(NSObject) in array
by not using index.
my source code is below
class FriendModel : NSObject {
   dynamic var index : ""
   dynamic var thumbnail : ""
   dynamic var name : ""

}

and In view controller class,
  var selectedList = [FriendModel]()

@IBAction func SelectAct(_ sender: Any) {

    let chooseBtn = sender as! UIButton

    let indexPath = NSIndexPath(row: chooseBtn.tag, section:0)
    let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath) as! FriendsListSendCell

    // when selected button is pushed
    if chooseBtn.isSelected == true {
        chooseBtn.isSelected = false
        count = count! - 1

        if self.count! < 1 {
            self.windowShowUp = false
            UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.1, delay: 0.1, options: [], animations:{self.selectedBoard.center.y += 80 }, completion: nil)
            self.checkNumLabel.text = ""
        }else{

        }
     //////////////////////////here////////////////////////////
     //////////////////how to erase the FriendModel(NSObject) in selectedList.

    }
    //when the unselected button is pushed
    else {

        //instance for append the friend info
        let friendInfo = FriendModel()

        chooseBtn.isSelected = true
        count = count! + 1

        friendInfo.thumbnail = cell.thumbnail
        friendInfo.name = cell.nameLabel.text!

        //add friend info to selectedList
        self.selectedList.append(friendInfo)
        print("\(self.selectedList)")

        if self.windowShowUp! == false{
            self.windowShowUp = true
            UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.1, delay: 0.1, options: [], animations:{self.selectedBoard.center.y -= 80 }, completion: nil)

        }else{

        }

    }
}

A: You can use index(where:) to get index of your object and then remove item at index position.
class FriendModel {
    var index = ""
    var thumbnail = ""
    var name = ""
}

let fm0 = FriendModel()
fm0.index = "100"
fm0.thumbnail = "tell.png"
fm0.name = "Phillips"

let fm1 = FriendModel()
fm1.index = "200"
fm1.thumbnail = "ask.png"
fm1.name = "Allen"

var array = [FriendModel]()
array.append(fm0)
array.append(fm1)

// The index below is an index of the array. Do not confuse with the FriendModel.index
let index = array.index {
    return $0.thumbnail == "ask.png" && $0.name == "Allen"
}
array.forEach { print($0.name) }

print("Array index:", index ?? "n/a")

array.remove(at: index!)

array.forEach { print($0.name) }

A: You could use MirekE's solution which would work but here's an alternative solution.
First step would be identifying what the unique identifier on your FriendModel object is such as an id property.
Then on your model, since it is an NSObject, override the isEqual function like this:
override public func isEqual(object: AnyObject?) -> Bool {
    let friend = object as? FriendModel
    if self.id == friend?.id { return true }
    return false
}

At this point you can use your desired form of iteration to find your element in the array and use remove.

The aim of this study was to assess the changes determined by increased cadence on skeletal muscle oxygenation during cycling at an exercise intensity equal to the ventilatory threshold (Tvent).Nine healthy, active individuals with different levels of cycling experience exercised at a power output equal to Tvent, pedaling at cadences of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 rpm, each for 4 min. Cadences were tested in a randomized counterbalanced sequence. Cardiopulmonary and metabolic responses were studied using an ECG for heart rate, and gas calorimetry for pulmonary oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production. NIRS was used to determine the tissue saturation index (TSI), a measure of vastus lateralis oxygenation.TSI decreased from rest to exercise; the magnitude of this TSI reduction was significantly greater when pedaling at 90 rpm (−14±4%), compared to pedaling at 40 (−12±3%) and 50 (−12±3%) rpm (P=0.027 and 0.017, respectively). Albeit small, the significant decrease in ΔTSI at increased cadence recorded in this study suggests that skeletal muscle oxygenation is relatively more affected by high cadence when exercise intensity is close to Tvent.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death in the young and in competitive athletes. The deleterious role of exercise in the natural history of ARVC is clear. Even in the absence of a demonstrated arrhythmogenic substrate, family history or mutations of ARVC, intense physical exercise may in some individuals lead to the development of right ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmogenicity. This led to question the benignity of some adaptive features of the athlete's heart. In fact, there is an overlap between typical aspects of the athlete's heart and pathological changes described in ARVC, being challenging to distinguish the two conditions. The aim of this review is to highlight the aspects that help to distinguish between athlete's heart and ARVC, to review the major findings on exams helping in the differential diagnosis and to determine the implications on eligibility for leisure and competitive sports.
The aim was to analyze the influence of weather conditions on medical emergencies in a half-marathon, specifically by evaluating its relation to the number of non-finishers, ambulance-required assistances, and collapses in need of ambulance as well as looking at the location of such emergencies on the race course. Seven years of data from the world's largest half marathon were used. Meteorological data were obtained from a nearby weather station, and the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) index was used as a measure of general weather conditions. Of the 315,919 race starters, 104 runners out of the 140 ambulance-required assistances needed ambulance services due to collapses. Maximum air temperature and PET significantly co-variated with ambulance-required assistances, collapses, and non-finishers (R2=0.65–0.92; p=0.001–0.03). When air temperatures vary between 15–29°C, an increase of 1°C results in an increase of 2.5 (0.008/1000) ambulance-required assistances, 2.5 (0.008/1000) collapses (needing ambulance services), and 107 (0.34/1000) non-finishers. The results also indicate that when the daily maximum PET varies between 18–35°C, an increase of 1°C PET results in an increase of 1.8 collapses (0.006/1000) needing ambulance services and 66 non-finishers (0.21/1000).
Hamstring strain injury (HSI) is one of the most prevalent and severe injury in professional soccer. The purpose was to analyze and compare the predictive ability of a range of machine learning techniques to select the best performing injury risk factor model to identify professional soccer players at high risk of HSIs. A total of 96 male professional soccer players underwent a pre-season screening evaluation that included a large number of individual, psychological and neuromuscular measurements. Injury surveillance was prospectively employed to capture all the HSI occurring in the 2013/2014 season. There were 18 HSIs. Injury distribution was 55.6% dominant leg and 44.4% non-dominant leg. The model generated by the SmooteBoostM1 technique with a cost-sensitive ADTree as the base classifier reported the best evaluation criteria (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve score=0.837, true positive rate=77.8%, true negative rate=83.8%) and hence was considered the best for predicting HSI. The prediction model showed moderate to high accuracy for identifying professional soccer players at risk of HSI during pre-season screenings. Therefore, the model developed might help coaches, physical trainers and medical practitioners in the decision-making process for injury prevention.
The ability to change velocity rapidly is a key element of field-based sports. This study quantified the acceleration and deceleration profiles of soccer players during match play. Global positioning system measures were collected from 20 male soccer players competing in the Australian Hyundai A-League during 58 matches. Match data were organized into ten 9 min periods (i. e., P1: 0–9 min) and the time spent at moderate (1–2 m·s−2) and high (>2 m·s−2) acceleration and deceleration thresholds were quantified. Additionally, a novel deceleration: acceleration ratio was quantified to identify the transient nature of deceleration activity. Linear mixed models were used to model the acceleration and deceleration profiles. All acceleration and deceleration metrics displayed negative logarithmic curves within each half. There was no change in the ratio of high deceleration: acceleration; however, a significant increase in the ratio of moderate deceleration:acceleration was evident. Using negative logarithmic curves to illustrate the acceleration and deceleration decay provides a novel methodological approach to quantify the high-intensity actions during match play. A decrease in the time spent decelerating throughout a match may be attributed to a lack of opportunity. Practitioners can use the coefficients, intercepts, and deceleration: acceleration ratios to monitor a player's deceleration profile in match play.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether spiroergometry performance in adolescent alpine ski racers can predict later advancement to a professional career. Over 10 consecutive years, adolescent skiers of the regional Austrian Youth Skier Squad (local level) underwent annual medical examinations, including exhaustive bicycle spiroergometry. The performance was determined at fixed (2 and 4 mmol/l serum lactate) and individual (individual anaerobic threshold (IAT) and lactate equivalent (LAE)) thresholds. Data from the last available test were compared between skiers who later advanced to the professional level (Austrian national ski team) and those who did not. Ninety-seven alpine skiers (n=51 male; n=46 female); mean age 16.6 years (range 15–18) were included. Of these, 18 adolescents (n=10 male; n=8 female) entered a professional career. No significant differences were found for maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max). Athletes advancing to the professional level had significantly higher performance and VO2 at LAE. Additionally, male professionals had significantly higher performances at fixed thresholds and the IAT. The performance and VO2 at the LAE, and thus the ability to produce power at a particular metabolic threshold, was the most relevant spiroergometric parameter to predict a later professional career.
Ten highly-trained Jiu-Jitsu fighters performed 2 repeated-sprint sessions, each including 2 sets of 8 x ~6 s back-and-forth running sprints on a tatami. One session was carried out with normal breathing (RSN) and the other with voluntary hypoventilation at low lung volume (RSH-VHL). Prefrontal and vastus lateralis muscle oxyhemoglobin ([O2Hb]) and deoxyhemoglobin ([HHb]) were monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy. Arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), gas exchange and maximal blood lactate concentration ([La]max) were also assessed. SpO2 was significantly lower in RSH-VHL than in RSN whereas there was no difference in HR. Muscle oxygenation was not different between conditions during the entire exercise. On the other hand, in RSH-VHL, cerebral oxygenation was significantly lower than in RSN (−6.1±5.4 vs−1.5±6.6 µm). Oxygen uptake was also higher during the recovery periods whereas [La]max tended to be lower in RSH-VHL. The time of the sprints was not different between conditions. This study shows that repeated shuttle-run sprints with VHL has a limited impact on muscle deoxygenation but induces a greater fall in cerebral oxygenation compared with normal breathing conditions. Despite this phenomenon, performance is not impaired, probably because of a higher oxygen uptake during the recovery periods following sprints.
This review used a narrative summary of findings from studies that focused on isometric strength training (IST), covering the training considerations that affect strength adaptations and its effects on sports related dynamic performances. IST has been shown to induce less fatigue and resulted in superior joint angle specific strength than dynamic strength training, and benefited sports related dynamic performances such as running, jumping and cycling. IST may be included into athletes' training regime to avoid getting overly fatigue while still acquiring positive neuromuscular adaptations; to improve the strength at a biomechanically disadvantaged joint position of a specific movement; to improve sports specific movements that require mainly isometric contraction; and when athletes have limited mobility due to injuries. To increase muscle hypertrophy, IST should be performed at 70–75% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) with sustained contraction of 3–30 s per repetition, and total contraction duration of>80–150 s per session for>36 sessions. To increase maximum strength, IST should be performed at 80–100% MVC with sustained contraction of 1–5 s, and total contraction time of 30–90 s per session, while adopting multiple joint angles or targeted joint angle. Performing IST in a ballistic manner can maximize the improvement of rate of force development.
To examine measures of total and regional body composition using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in NCAA Division I collegiate equestrian athletes, 31 female collegiate equestrian athletes were matched to a population of normal controls by age and body mass index. Total and regional fat tissue mass (FM), lean tissue mass (LM), bone mineral density (BMD), and abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were measured by DXA. Equestrian athletes had a significantly (p=0.03) lower total body fat percentage (%fat) than controls. There were no significant differences in total LM and VAT between equestrian athletes and controls. However, equestrian athletes, when compared to the controls, had significantly lower leg %fat, leg FM and higher leg LM. The greater leg LM in equestrian riders resulted in a smaller upper to lower body LM ratio compared to controls. There was no difference in leg BMD between equestrian athletes and controls. There were no significant differences between the 2 styles of riding (i. e., hunt seat and western style) in regards to body composition. The lower total %fat in equestrian athletes seems to be influenced by differences in leg composition, with equestrian athletes having significantly more LM and less FM.


Board and Batten wall treatments have become quite popular as of late. They are a fairly simple DIY project that can give a space a lot of cottage flavored character. I applied board and batten style wainscoting in my own home to warm up a large, otherwise cold master suite. Today, using my master bedroom as an example, I'm going to share an easy way to take your board and batten wall to the next level.
By adding a simple ledge/shelf, your board and batten will have a more custom look. Not to mention, a ledge provides an attractive way to display art/personal items and can improve the function of your room. It gave me the perfect spot to showcase a beautiful pair of vintage inspired prints that prior to the addition of the shelf, did not have a home.
The height of typical board and batten wall treatments can be known to make hanging art tricky. Placing art over board and batten wainscoting, can sometimes feel too high. By incorporating a ledge, you can lean and layer art/photo frames making it feel more connected to your wall treatment and less like it's floating in space.
Adding hooks to the ledge not only dresses it up a bit and adds more interest, but it also provides a place to hang things. Each night before bed, I set my clothes out for the next day. Now instead of laying them on my chair, I have a place to hang them. I can also use the hooks to display things like our family Christening gown.
Adding a ledge to your existing board and batten wall is very simple…if you have your home improvement store make your cuts for you, the only tool you need to complete this job is a drill.
1. The first step is to find the longest stretch of wall in your space, this is usually the best location for your ledge.
2. Determine the placement of your new ledge easily by using your existing boards as a guide. I chose the three boards right in the middle of my wall.
3. Install pre-made wood brackets (Home Depot). Using the hardware included with the brackets, mount each bracket in the middle of three of your vertical boards. Be sure to mount them so the top of the bracket is an inch lower than the top of your board and batten. Place a 1x4 pine board on top of the brackets and secure with construction adhesive. By mounting the brackets an inch lower, your ledge will be nice and flush with the top of the horizontal board and batten board.
4. Using a power drill, install decorative hooks below the ledge, and finish your display with art, collectables, family photos etc.
I used an oversize pair of vintage inspired floral prints (found here) to anchor the display. Then, I added a few of my favorite family photos and sentimental items to compose a layered gallery. To make this art/photo arrangement easy on the eyes, had my family photos printed in sepia tones and painted simple white mats a soft grayish blue that compliments the lotus flower prints. To frame my photos, I used thrift store frames in golden tones to unify the collection. To keep my photos from slipping, I used poster putty under each frame. If you wanted more security, you could attach a lip to your ledge by gluing a thin piece of molding along the edge of your pine board.
A board and batten ledge could be incorporated either in a small section (as I did here in my master bedroom) or around the entire perimeter of the room. To see another example of a custom board and batten ledge in a room I designed recently for a client, please click here.
This project is a great example of how just a small element, like a board and batten ledge can add a lot to your room. This project took less than an hour to install, I did it all by myself and the total cost was less than $60.
This is gorgeous and the art/fphotos/frames are beautiful.
This is terrific! It made such a big difference. I'm wondering what size your corbels are. I have some from Home Depot that I bought to place under my kitchen bar that look very similar, but I think mine are larger. Just trying to figure out the scale. :) Thanks!

On Nov. 27, the Bureau of Cultural Heritage shared the second-stage results of the Taipei Railway Workshop Staff Oral History Video Documentation (Phase I) Project — headed up by the National Center for Research and Preservation of Cultural Properties, Chung Yuan Christian University — at the Nanmen Park of the National Taiwan Museum. The oral recordings of retired staff of the Taipei Railway Workshop will not only ensure their memories and techniques are preserved, but will also help further the public's understanding of the nation's rail heritage and further research into the museum's collection.
The second-stage documentation focused on the retired crew who maintained steam engines at the Taipei Railway Workshop from 1935, which was during the Japanese colonial era, to 2013, when operations were transferred to a new facility. Of particular interest were their recollections of the evolving process and standards for train maintenance throughout the decades, talent training schemes under Japanese authorities, rising and falling demand for train transport for various Taiwanese industries, and how records were kept under different management.
Their oral testimonies have helped researchers map out the Taipei Railway Workshop's early operations and areas of responsibilities, as well as the network of trained personnel and supplies that fed into this system. The project will now combine oral history and other historical matters that aren't noted in written records with audiovisual documentation to create a comprehensive database on Taiwan's railway history for research, exhibition, and education purposes.
Efforts to transform the Taipei Railway Workshop into a rail museum and to restore the Railway Division of Taiwan Governor-General's Bureau of Transportation began under the leadership of the Ministry of Culture in 2016. Through the linkage of the Taipei Railway Workshop, Railway Division, and Taipei's urban development, the Ministry aims to thoroughly preserve both the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Taiwan's railways.
Restoration of the Railway Division has been entrusted to the National Taiwan Museum, which also houses the first steam locomotive in Taiwan that was built by German manufacturer Lokomotivbau Hohenzollern in 1888 — "Teng-Yun," meaning "driving upon the clouds."

Japanese internet cafe chain transforms into budget hotel for travelers
Image: Net Room
INQUIRER.net / 07:01 PM June 05, 2017
Japanese Internet cafes are styled differently than what is seen in the rest of the world. For one thing, some Japanese treat them like cheap hotels, staying in them for days, even weeks. One Internet cafe chain recognized this tendency by customers, and thereby converted its shops into what's now called the "Net Room."
Manboo, one of Japan's biggest Internet cafe operators, essentially turned their cafes into affordable hotels, complete with a variety of amenities that a traveler would need, such as a private room and a bath.
The check-in area, as well as the private rooms, have all been overhauled to exude that "hotel feel." And yet, staying in a Net Room can start for as low as 100 yen (roughly P45) an hour. An extended stay for a maximum of two weeks can go for around 12,600 to 14,000 yen (roughly P5,600 to P6,200) per week.
There are a variety of rooms to choose from and all of them come with a desktop PC, Blu-ray player, free Wi-Fi, and access to a wide selection of free-to-watch movies, including an adult section.
For people who are staying longer, washing machines and dryers are available for doing the laundry. Guests will also be able to lock their rooms when stepping out.
Furthermore, Net Room provides rental lockers where valuables can be left when going out, as well as mail boxes for receiving parcels.
Internet cafes in Japan have remained popular because apart from private cubicles and internet access, they also feature a wide selection of manga and magazines for reading.
These private rooms are also utilized as cheap short-stay rooms by people who don't make it to the last train or bus home but don't want to spend too much on a hotel room or a taxi ride. Trains usually stop running for around five hours after midnight in Japanese cities.
Net Room accommodations are now available for reservation by foreigners over at Manboos' English website. Customer service is available in Chinese, English and Japanese. Locations include 17 branches spread out in Tokyo, Kanagawa and Saitama. Alfred Bayle/JB

A bottle of homemade vanilla.
Since you are using only two ingredients, it's important that they are high quality. Good quality beans are definitely important. I used Bourbon vanilla beans which have a traditional vanilla flavour. There's also Madagascar, Tahitian and Mexican all with their own unique flavour profiles. If you aren't able to find good quality beans at your local grocer, they can easily be ordered online.
The size of the jar will determine how many beans you use. For my small 4 ounce bottle I used 2 beans. Cut the vanilla beans to fit the size of your jar, then split the vanilla bean by cutting length wise. You'll have flecks of vanilla in your extract but I don't really mind and love the way it looks. If you want a clear extract just use a cheese cloth to strain the extract.
Use a small mason jar to add the ingredients to. I ordered small bottles, added labels to mine and handed them out as gifts for Christmas one year. Since then, I haven't used store bought vanilla. That was 6 years ago.
Vodka is the alcohol of choice here because it has the most neutral flavour, but that doesn't mean you can't experiment with bourbon, brandy or even rum to create a more unique extract.
Pour the alcohol over the beans until they are fully submerged. Seal the jar with a lid, give it a couple shakes and store in a dark, cool place.
Let the beans sit in the alcohol for about a month to fully infuse. After the extract has infused, give it a taste. If you think there's just not enough vanilla-ness in there for you, add a few more split beans.
Whenever I'm a little low, I just top up with vodka. After some time, if the colour looks a bit diluted I replace the vanilla beans with fresh ones. Don't throw those old beans out. You can dry them out and add them to sugar to make a lovely vanilla flavoured sugar.


We would like to help you, but can't do so properly without understanding your question. Since this is an English speaking board, I'd recommend you to either ask your question in English or visit on of our international support websites to ask the question in your native language.
Also, a link to your board would help as well.
I've just registered to your forum and I can't view the Who is Online list either and neither can I view profiles. That indicates that permissions are probably not set properly.
Okay. So that's solved part of it. I'm now able to access the who is online directly. Could you look in Load settings under the General tab to see if "Enable online user listings" is set to Yes?
It is marked on '' Yes ''.
Could you check if the problem is still there if you temporarily switch back to prosilver as style?
Could you PM me an administrator account login? I'd like to take a look at some settings.
The issue should be resolved now.
You had the "View online time span" set to 0 minutes, which essentially disables the feature.
I've now set it to 15 minutes. If you'd like another value, you can change it in Load settings.


There are currently no effective cures or treatments for chronic CNS conditions such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and stroke. We and others have shown that the activation of lipoxygenases (LOXs) play a central role in the nerve cell death associated with both disorders because LOX inhibitors reduce nerve cell death in both cell culture studies and in animal models that mimic these disorders. Furthermore, LOXs are highly elevated in AD and mild cognitive impairment, and AD transgenic animals in which the various LOXs and the phospholipases that provide LOX substrates are genetically deleted have greatly reduced pathology. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LOX enzymes are activated and how their products cause nerve cell death are unknown. Nor have CNS therapies based upon LOX metabolism been extensively tested in animal models. To understand the signaling pathways and gain better insight into potential therapeutic targets, we will study LOX-mediated nerve cell death in two robust cell culture models of chronic oxidative stress and intracellular beta amyloid toxicity. Both paradigms are associated with the depletion of glutathione and ROS production. In addition, LOX inhibitors enhance the removal of aggregated protein, a condition associated with AD and aging in general. Using these experimental systems, we will answer the following questions. What is the mechanism by which the depletion of glutathione activates LOXs and how do the LOX metabolites stimulate ROS production from mitochondria? What are the specific LOX products involved in both ROS production and the cell death pathways? What are the molecular signaling pathways involved? How does the inhibition of LOX enzymatic activity increase the rate of clearance of aggregated intracellular amyloid and promote cell survival? Finally, we will determine if our best pan-LOX inhibitor is able to clear intracellular A?, reduce AD pathology and behavioral deficits in a transgenic mouse AD model and define the contribution of the major LOX genes to AD pathology. These experiments will build a solid foundation for the role of LOX metabolism in nerve cell death and the metabolism of intracellular amyloid, test this pathway in animals, and identify new therapeutic targets.
There are no cures or effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease or stroke, nor is it understood how and why nerve cells die in these conditions. On the basis of a very rigorous screening procedure we have identified a series of drug-like small molecules that are effective in animal models of Alzheimer's and stroke, but we do not understand the molecular pathways by which they are neuroprotective. To push these drugs to the clinic and to identify more and perhaps better therapeutic targets, we need to understand exactly how these drugs function, and that is the goal of this proposal.

Clear sky for Delhi-NCR, IMD predicts rainy weekend
Over the next six days, the maximum temperature is likely to hover around 31 degrees Celsius and the minimum will drop to 15 degrees celsius.

Delhi-NCR woke up to a clear sky on Friday morning with a possibility of a rainy weekend, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The IMD said Saturday and Sunday might have a cloudy sky with light to moderate rain. The maximum temperature was recorded at 32 degrees Celsius and the minimum at 18 degrees Celsius, according to the IMD.
The maximum temperature recorded on Thursday was 32.4 degrees Celsius, minimum at 17.7 degrees Celsius, and relative humidity was pegged at 63 per cent at 8.30 a.m.
The level of PM2.5 and PM 10 pollutants stand at 82 (moderate) and 202 (moderate), respectively, according to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR), the air quality monitoring and forecasting system under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
"Delhi's AQI is in the moderate category. As per SAFAR methodology, effective fire counts are 1,234 and its share is 15 per cent in Delhi's PM2.5 as transport-level winds are favourable for intrusion. However local winds are moderate which enhances dispersion of pollutants keeping AQI in the moderate category. The share of fire emissions is expected to increase in the next two days.
"In presence of local dry weather and north-westerly wind local dust emission leads to increase of PM10. Additional dust input from desert areas via transport is very likely. The overall AQI is likely to degrade to poor in the next two days," SAFAR stated.
As per the Central Pollution Control Committee (CPCB), the Air Quality Index (AQI) of the Anand Vihar area is 'moderate' at 174.
Similarly, the AQI for Lodhi Road was 154, North Campus 162 and RK Puram 147.

H-JEB is characterised by blister formation within the lamina lucida of the basement membrane zone. Clinical signs involve skin malformation resulting in blisters. Different areas of the body are affected, particularly the limbs. Affected foals die soon after birth.
It is very unlikely that the horse will develop H-JEB (Herlitz Junctional epidermolysis bullosa). The horse will never pass the mutation to its offspring, and therefore it can be bred to any other horse.
It is very unlikely that the horse will develop H-JEB (Herlitz Junctional epidermolysis bullosa) but since it carries the mutant gene, it can pass it on to its offspring with the probability of 50%.
The genetic defect leading to the disease has been identified. By DNA testing, the responsible mutation can be shown directly. This method provides a very high accuracy test and can be done at any age. It offers the possibility to distinguish not only between affected and clear dogs, but also to identify clinically healthy carriers. This is an essential information for controlling the disease in the breed, as carriers are able to spread the disease in the population, but can not be identified by means of common laboratory diagnostic.

New EU regulation introduced to ban emissions 'cheat' devices from car manufacturers
The EU Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles, adopted in May 2018, comes into effect today. The new EU regulation overhauls and improves the quality and independence of vehicle type-approval and testing and increases checks of cars already on the EU market.
Type approval is the process for certifying that a vehicle meets all requirements to be placed on the market and for rigorous checking of manufacturers' ongoing compliance with EU law, including emissions limits as laid out in separate regulation.
This reform follows on from the European Commission's 'Europe on the Move' publication. This committed the EU to improve air quality and CO2 standards, and emission testing for cars or the support for alternative fuels and battery production. They are also designed to protect EU manufacturers by dictating higher standards than other jurisdictions.
Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the EU's Internal Market, said:
Europeans rightly expect to drive the cleanest and safest cars. That presupposes the strictest controls of cars placed on the market and circulating on our roads. It also requires real enforcement and oversight at European level: that is why from now on the Commission will be able to carry out checks on cars, trigger EU-wide recalls, and impose fines of up to €30,000 per car when the law is broken. These reforms complement our work on cleaner and safer mobility, which in the challenging context of the crisis require even more future-oriented investments in infrastructure and innovation. Our efforts to restore consumer confidence, strengthen the Single Market and support the long-term viability and global competitiveness of Europe's car industry go hand in hand.
The new rules mean that services performing testing and inspections of new car models will be independently audited on the basis of stringent criteria to obtain and keep their designation by Member States. National type approval authorities are now subject to peer reviews to ensure that the relevant rules are implemented and enforced rigorously across the EU.
The new framework also improves checks on the vehicles that are already circulating on the market and for sale at the dealerships. From now on, Member States are required to regularly test a minimum number of cars and are now able to take safeguard measures against non-compliant vehicles on their territory without waiting for the authority that issued the type approval to take action.
In addition, the European Commission is now able to carry out compliance and conformity checks on vehicles in laboratories or on the road. In cases where manufacturers are in breach of type-approval legislation (e.g. defeat devices or fake declarations), they can order EU-wide recalls and impose sanctions on those manufacturers of up to €30 000 per car. This is in response to the Volkswagen emissions scandal, and the lack of powers held by the EU to sanction the company.

Located on the southwest side of Atlanta, Coweta County's geographic location was once perceived as a negative factor for the area. While north of Atlanta, Gwinnett, Fulton, and Cobb counties were experiencing rapid growth in population and business, Coweta County grew at a more relaxed pace.
The community strengths included proximity to state highways and Interstate 85, the airport, developable land with infrastructure in place, and a location only 20 miles from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, all of which pointed to future prosperity.
Coweta County is now known as "Prosperity's Front Door," a county that stands on its own as a place where businesses, families, and professionals prosper and have all the attributes in place to ensure future growth.


First impressions of Canada. My First time outside Asia.
I saw a lotto outlet in the airport and it was advertising a $400M jackpot! I thought our $16M jackpot in the Philippines was already out of this world. Truly, we are worlds apart from the west. This is what I love about travelling. It opens your eyes to a whole new world with new possibilities. I believe in investing in education so I will consider this as an educational trip rather than a luxurious getaway so I won't have to feel so guilty. This one month trip will cost me a few months salary.
Almost all the houses are nice and made of wood. I thought it was just preference but now I realize that their houses need to be made of wood because concrete is cold. It's still winter. My first ever. I was supposed to come here in February but decided against it when a friend told me that I would not be able to travel if I came in February.
all the time there, so it figures. There's not much traffic on the roads here. So if Seattle is two hours away I'm sure its farther than I think it is. Unlike in Manila where sometimes it is faster to walk than to drive. There aren't a lot of buses and taxis here. Cab fare is about 30$-40$ so DO NOT take the cab. Wait for the bus and dress warm so you don't freeze to death while waiting for it.
the fibrous asparagus that I'm used to. They have so many varieties of teas that I've never seen before. Some taste more like juice than tea. Sooo good!
ATMs are hard to find. People use mostly debit cards and credit cards.
The internet is sooo fast. Even the free wifi in the airport is fast.
Like what I've heard, Canadians are nice. Almost everybody says hello to me in my morning walk. We don't do that in my country. Not that we're snubs but we've been trained not to talk to strangers.
BC is clean but not obsessively so. I still see thrash here and there. I saw mattresses on the side of the road. I heard it would cost them money to have it collected by the garbage truck.
There's a lot of wild animals! The squirrels are much bigger than the ones that we have in the Philippines. Wild ducks and other kinds of birds abound in lakes and swamps. A lot of them are fat because people feed them.
button that you have to press to cross the street which will give you about 15 seconds to cross the street.
Getting a tourist visa to Canada is the easiest and fastest I've ever seen. I submitted my application online on a Sunday and the following day it was already approved and I sent my passport to the embassy. My plane tickets cost me USD1,100! I did see a $500 ticket but I didn't have a visa yet. I didn't want to risk buying that ticket only to have my visa application declined.
The 11 hour flight was painful! I forgot to order vegetarian food before the flight so I only ate the side dish. I hope I can still call PAL to have it changed on my return flight.
Fantastic seeing Canada from your perspective. It is an amazing country. I'm not surprised to hear the prices are shocking to you. Dress warm, enjoy the people and the fast internet.
I absolutely loved your take on my province in Canada. Chilly, but the vegetables are crisp! lol! Did you enjoy the snow? Looking forward to reading more.
The big one is called a Canada Goose. They are annoying...and will bite you if you get to close.
Enjoyed your blog, I'm a native Lower Mainlander and have been travel blogging forever, but have never blogged from my own home. Very fun to hear you point out the bits that i would point out while travelling myself. Have a great time, sorry it's raining :( Cheers!
Your observations, conclusions and the analysis that led you there. Keep these blogs coming thick-and-fast and telling us how you see it.
I am enjoying my stay here so much! I love learning about new things and there is so much to discover here. @andrea yes i saw snow in mt seymour! My first time to see snow!

North Korea has been recently concentrating all its efforts into economic development, changing its economic strategies and appointing new personnel to key positions. The North convened the Party Conference of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea on April 21th, 2018 and proclaimed the completion of two long-time commitments (the parallel pursuit of both economy and nuclear armed forces), and proposed the intensive strategy of constructing an economically powerful socialist state. In 2019, Chairman Kim Jong-un stressed once again the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the construction of a socialist economy in his new year's address for 2019. In addition, former Prime Minister Park Bong-ju, an official who served as prime minister for a lengthy period of time (June 2013 – April 2019) since Chairman Kim became leader of the country, has been found to be leading the "7.1 Improvement Measures for Economic Management" announced on July 1, 2001. Such a series of measures is raising hopes that North Korea is moving toward a transition of its economic system.
Most people associate the transition of North Korea with the Vietnamese or Chinese experience of reform and opening. This is because not only was it reported how Kim Jong-Un has informally mentioned the Vietnamese reform and opening, but also an impression has been given that economic delegations of North Korea were learning about Chinese reform and opening by inspecting the special zones of China. However, there is no guarantee that North Korea will necessarily undertake either a Vietnamese or Chinese path of reform and opening, and therefore it will be difficult to claim the North will achieve the economic performance Vietnam and China have achieved. After all, many countries have faced socio-economic turmoil following such a major transition.
The purpose of this study is to derive implications to North Korea from Myanmar's experiences of normalizing foreign relations and transition. The internal and external situations Myanmar have faced in the transition process share similar aspects with those currently in North Korea. After being sanctioned by the US and EU, Myanmar eventually lifted these sanctions by normalizing its relations with the US and actively introducing market economy systems. However, contrary to expectations that this measure would bring about Myanmar's economic growth, Myanmar's GDP growth rate remains relatively low compared to that of China and Vietnam. The Myanmar experience may be a valuable lesson for North Korea.
To explain the contents of this report in more detail, Chapter 2 compares the political and economic situation of Myanmar to those in North Korea and Southeast Asian countries. Myanmar is mentioned as a country which has peacefully established democracy in the international community, but at the same time it has been criticized that the introduction of democracy is only a formality that falls short of substantive democracy. Myanmar, along with Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (CLMV), is classified as a Southeast Asian Transition Country and evaluated as having an economic environment similar to that of North Korea. Its GDP (2017) is 70 billion dollars – 0.3 times of Vietnam, 2.4 times of North Korea, 3.4 times of Cambodia and 4.3 times of Laos.
The nation's trade volume (2018) is 37.1 billion dollars, similar to Cambodia (31.7 billion dollars), but larger than Laos (12.8 billion dollars) and North Korea (5.7 billion dollars). Myanmar's business environment ranked 171 out of 190 countries in terms of Doing Business, receiving a lower evaluation than Vietnam in 69th place, Cambodia in 138th place and Laos in 154th place.
Chapter 3 analyzes the contents of the US and EU bilateral sanctions imposed on Myanmar and the effects that economic sanctions have had on Myanmar's economy. Unlike North Korea, where multilateral and bilateral sanctions were imposed, only US and EU bilateral sanctions were imposed on Myanmar. When we look at US sanctions against Myanmar, there are sanctions on trade, finance, investment, aid, and visas. The trade sanctions began with the discontinuance of mostfavored-nation treatment and eventually led to bans on imports of Myanmar products. Financial sanctions banned financial transactions with Myanmar and froze assets. Investment sanctions prohibited new investments in Myanmar, aid sanctions restricted bilateral assistance to Myanmar as well as multilateral assistance through international organizations, and visa sanctions took the form of restrictions on US visas for individuals and organizations. We can see that the EU's economic sanctions were carried out in a similar way with the United States.
Although the sanctions did not affect Myanmar's economy in quantitative terms, they had negative effects restricting the general process of industrialization in terms of quality. During the sanctions period, Myanmar recorded a positive GDP growth rate, and trade volume continued to expand. The first reason that the sanctions did not have a big impact on Myanmar's economy is that Myanmar has abundant energy and mineral resources, which could offset the US and EU trade restrictions by increasing their exports. In addition, the main economic sector of Myanmar is agriculture, so the economic scope in which economic sanctions on trade, finance, investment could influence the economy was limited. Second, the US and the EU tried to impose economic damages on Myanmar's military through economic sanctions, but it was the garment industry in the private sector that was mainly affected by the sanctions. During the sanctions period, the military halved the damage by developing the energy and mineral fields, which were given exceptions to the sanctions. Nonetheless, economic sanctions against Myanmar have resulted in Myanmar's macroeconomic economy remaining in primary industries such as energy and minerals, and hampered industrial advances in the manufacturing sector.
In Chapter 4, we analyzed the process of lifting the sanctions and the changes in Myanmar's economy around that time. Domestic factors that could be lifted quickly were the willingness to reform Myanmar's democracy and the diversification of foreign policy. Among the external factors involved, the change in US policy in Asia and its measures to check the expansion of Chinese influence played a major role. The reasons that the sanctions were lifted quickly were mainly due to the Myanmar military's willingness to democratize its political system and diversify its foreign policy. The United States has changed its policy toward Asia, and its efforts to check the expansion of China has also played a major role. The lifting of US sanctions against Myanmar progressed in a phased manner, beginning with preemptive measures by Myanmar, followed by US's suspension of its sanctions, additional measures carried out by Myanmar, and additional suspensions on the part of the US. Recently, the issue of human rights in ethnic minorities has been rekindled, and the EU is discussing the resumption of sanctions against Myanmar.
Myanmar's economy has been steadily growing since the sanctions were lifted, but it has been confirmed that there has been no rapid growth in GDP. According to our findings, the major causes for this lack of growth include the following: (1) lack of skilled human resources, (2) inefficient resource allocation, (3) failure of reform policies (lack of government capacity), (4) poor infrastructure, and (5) the failure of balanced diplomacy between the US and China. Prices have stabilized since 2009, and the exchange rate has been rising rapidly since 2012. The country's trade volume has been growing steadily, but its deficit in commodity balance has been gradually deteriorating. FDI has been growing in absolute terms, but FDI-to-GDP ratio has remained at a low
level among the CLVM countries.
In Chapter 5, we summarize the implications of Myanmar's experience for North Korea. First, there are implications for North Korea that the Myanmar sanctions were lifted quickly over five years (2012–16). Myanmar has the desire to contain the excessive expansion of China's influence in its country, while the United States wishes to control the expansion of China's influence in the region at the same time. These common interests led to the sanctions against Myanmar being lifted in a short period of time. North Korea seems to have a geopolitical environment similar to Myanmar, and this environment is likely to be used in the process of denuclearization and lifting sanctions.
Second, Myanmar and the United States were able to build mutual trust by adopting a step-by-step process of lifting sanctions. North Korea faces more complicated situations than Myanmar because there are multilateral, bilateral sanctions, secondary boycotts against the North and denuclearization and human rights issues are combined as justifications of the sanctions. However, considering the fact that the United States is leading the sanctions against North Korea and that the human rights issue can be settled relatively easily in comparison with the denuclearization problem, it seems that there is room for lifting sanctions against North Korea in a similar way to Myanmar.
Third, economic sanctions on Myanmar seem to have had little impact on Myanmar's economy in terms of quantity, but they have adversely affected Myanmar's economy in qualitative terms in that they weakened Myanmar's growth potential. Myanmar's economy continued to grow in quantitative terms during the period of sanctions, but the sanctions have made the industries of Myanmar lean too much towards the energy and minerals industries. If sanctions against North Korea are prolonged, the growth potential of North Korea will weaken and its industry structure will inevitably remain underdeveloped.
Fourth, Myanmar has failed to show remarkable economic performance in the process of transition, because it could not sufficiently enact laws and institutions to support this momentum, nor have the laws enacted been implemented properly. There is a lack of trained skilled bureaucrats to lead the transition. North Korea also needs to develop sufficient human resources to prepare for reform, and it must improve and implement laws and systems that meet international standards.
Finally, Myanmar has not effectively utilized the high expectations of major countries such as Japan and China, which have shown interest in investing in Myanmar during its economic opening process. As North Korea also focuses on the self-sufficiency of its economy in their policies, it is likely that the North will miss such opportunities from outside like the experience of Myanmar. Therefore, in the process of opening up the economy, North Korea needs to abolish its former practices and actively attract investment from major countries.

Faculty Spotlight: Brennan Hill
No Comments on Faculty Spotlight: Brennan Hill
In 1984, Brennan Hill applied for a job as a theology professor at Xavier after seeing an ad in a New York newspaper. His qualifications were undeniable: degrees in English and theology from Marquette University, Cambridge University, St. Bonaventure University and the Catholic University of America. Not surprisingly, he landed the job and went on to write 22 books, win five national journalism awards, travel more than 10,000 miles and touch thousands of lives.
Still, says Hill, it all falls second to the parts of his life that come a little closer to home. "I would begin my credentials with my marriage and family." Hill and his wife, Marie, have been married 32 years, raised two children and now have two grandchildren. His experiences helped him teach the marriage and family course at Xavier for more than 20 years, educating students on what they can expect from the family front.
"In the classroom," he says, "I like to promote a learning community, where each student can use his or her own experiences to add something to the class." The classroom life, though, is coming to an end. Hill announced his retirement this year, and he and Marie are now going to teach all they know about theology, marriage and family to a smaller audience—their grandchildren.

As the World Health Organization announces Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) as one of the top ten global health risks for 2019 and the years to come, time for action is running out. Failing to take immediate, joint action across the human health, animal health, agricultural and environmental sectors, risks simple infections becoming a death sentence, affecting lives, health and health systems across Europe and worldwide.
In 2015, all WHO member states committed to a Global Action Plan which called for the adoption of National Action Plans (NAPs) on AMR by mid-2017; a commitment reiterated in subsequent political declarations and by the EU One Health Action Plan against AMR. However, a new study from EPHA finds that translating such political commitments to actions implemented at national, regional and local levels remains a challenge. In fact, adopting a more 'GLOCAL' approach could be the new narrative for effectively combatting AMR – focusing on the local implementation of actions taken at global level.
The creation and implementation of these national plans are an important first step towards developing effective policy responses to fight AMR in Europe and globally. They serve as a guiding policy framework, aligning and coordinating actions by public and animal health professionals and ensuring that the agricultural and environmental sectors are also involved.
The study finds that although the ambitious target of adopting NAPs by 2017 has not been reached, there has been sustained progress in their development, perhaps as a result of the increasing political momentum round AMR and the EU's Action Plan, which may have stimulated and reinforced action by national governments to live up to their previous international commitments.
The good news is that 74% of the 31 countries analysed have developed and/or implemented a NAP or a similar initiative to tackle AMR. However, Member States are at very different stages in the realization of their plans and there are considerable variations on how much they have adopted a One Health approach.
Only 51% of the countries analysed could be considered as having action plans, national programmes or strategies that follow a One Health approach. In fact, whilst acknowledging the One Health concept, some NAPs address AMR in different fields separately.
A closer look at the coverage of a One Health approach in current National Action Plans or similar programmes in EU Member States and EFTA countries.
Moreover, some plans appear to be rather fragmented comprising of a main strategy accompanied by separate strategies targeting one sector in particular. Therefore, there remains considerable scope in some countries to streamline their multiple strategies on AMR and incorporate them into a single, coordinated One Health NAP. This may require better coordination and communication between different government Ministries and agencies to ensure that all relevant actors understand the importance of adopting a multisectoral approach.
One striking finding is that most One Health NAPs are found in Northern and Central Europe, where AMR prevalence is generally lower than the rates observed in Eastern and Southern European countries, which often face considerable healthcare systems challenges and lack of sustained financing.
What's included and what's missing?
Most current NAPs feature elements from the 2016 Council Conclusions on AMR. Around 60% of NAPs and strategies analysed have identified infection prevention and control and awareness-raising among professionals and the general public, as common overarching goals or priorities.
time-bound targets in the human and veterinary sectors.
The study sets out a number of recommendations for policy-makers in the European Commission and within national governments including the introduction of measurable targets; allocation of adequate funding at EU and national level; taking action to tackle pharmaceuticals in the environment and engaging with civil society as action plans are developed and revised.
For the EU to truly become a best practice region (one of the pillars of the EU One Health Action Plan), it is crucial to reduce the wide and pronounced disparities among and within countries, and consider providing targeted and sustained support and resources to those countries which need it the most. This will allow the EU to move from achieving isolated success and best practices in a few countries to good standard practices in all countries, with antibiotic stewardship evenly distributed across the EU.


Nothing beats a Perth summer and now that the weather is starting to heat up, what better way to spend a sunny Saturday or Sunday morning than over brunch at the beach? One of my favourite places for a lazy weekend brunch is The Naked Fig at Swanbourne Beach.
The Naked Fig is part of the "Fig" brand of café's which are dotted all over the Perth coastline; the other "Figs" being the Wild Fig in Scarborough, the Pickled Fig in Fremantle and, the newest Fig to the family, The Little Fig in Waterman's Bay.
The Naked Fig is located next to the surf lifesaving club on Swanbourne Beach, with parking facilities just off Marine Parade. The restaurant area itself is expansive, with both an outside deck and inside area offering a 180 degree view of the ocean.
The Naked Fig caters to a full house on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so to avoid being turned away or having to wait for a table make sure you book beforehand. All bookings are done online through the Fig website. If you are going to try your luck at just turning up, take your bathers and go for a quick dip whilst you wait.
The chances are that once you are inside the restaurant you will also have to wait for your food. he wait is, however, well worth it as the extensive menu really does have something for everyone. If you're particularly hungry you can't go past the Big Fig breakfast . For something lighter, try the Greer (add poached eggs if you like!) or for those with a sweeter tooth, the Berry Pancakes are always a hit. The Naked Fig also does great coffee, smoothies and iced teas.
If you can't make it to the Naked Fig for breakfast, the restaurant stays open for lunch and dinner as well as doing themed nights throughout the week (at the moment there is a Vego night and a BYO night). With such a beautiful setting, the Naked Fig really is a great spot for any time of the day.
The atmosphere at the Naked Fig is exactly what you would expect from a beachfront café: relaxed and easy going (and a little bit quirky!). However, the place runs surprisingly efficiently for such a large and busy venue. Check out the website for bookings info, menu and prices.
A couple of notes that I had passed on from the Naked Fig - the Little Fig closed down due to leasing issues and the Greer and the berry pancakes are no longer on the menu.

The Military Merit Medal (Militärverdienstmedaille), 1911-1917 is not at first glance a very important looking decoration. However to the Austrian officer corps and to the empire it was a decoration of substantial significance. This can be recognized when one considers that in the order of precedence of Austrian awards it preceded the Gold Bravery Medal and that until the second year of World War I all awards were personally presented by the Emperor. In fact this decoration was roughly the equivalent to the American Distinguished Service Medal in regard to the esteem with which its recipients were held within the empire. What follows is part 1 of the discussion of this significant award in which I will review the medal numismatics including date of issue, reason for the award of this decoration, classes and types, interesting facts, hallmarks, design weight, size, type of material and variations.
Reason Issued: To recognize extraordinary service in time of war or outstanding service in peace time by officers and military officials of an equivalent rank.
Classes or Types: This decoration was issued in two classes and three types.
The bronze medal was to be returned when the silver medal was received assuming they were on the same ribbon. This requirement was later rescinded.
Design: A round medal with a raised rim and an attached hinged crown at the top.

Figure 3: Silver Military Merit Medal obverse on war ribbon. Image courtesy of Dorotheum.
Obverse: A bust of the old Emperor Franz Joseph I in high relief facing right. In his hair is a wreath of laurel. Around the bust is inscribed: FRANCISCVS . IOS . I. D. G. IMP. AVST. REX. BOH. ETC. ET. REX. APOST. HVNG . The beginning and end of the inscription is at the bottom of the medal and is separated by a star. Outside of the inscription along the edge of the medal is a wreath composed of 62 laurel leaves. The attached crown is usually hollow with a metal bonnet inside. The crown articulates with the medal and is moveable.
Figure 4: Bronze Military Merit Medal, Reverse on war ribbon. Image from the author's archive.
Reverse: Within a wreath composed of 37 laurel leaves (left) and 25 oak leaves on the right and which is tied at the bottom with a bow is inscribed, SIGNVM LAVDIS (A token of esteem). The reverse of the crown is fully detailed.
Size: The decoration without crown is 30-32 mm in diameter. The crown is 20 mm high and 19 mm wide. Thus the overall height of the medal is 50-52 mm.

Silver Medal Type II: has a diameter of 31-32 mm and with an obverse portrait of the Emperor that is flatter and less well defined.
