Indonesian immigration authorities are questioning 47 asylum-seekers seized this week trying to reach Christmas Island from Java, one of several boatloads taking advantage of the end of the rainy season. "The weather is definitely a factor," national police spokesman Edward Aritonang said. "If we use the picture from previous years as a guide, we can see there's a rise – we'll see what develops this year." Many of those trying to reach Australia's immigration zone in the current wave are from Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, and most appear to have been living in temporary accommodation near Bogor, south of Jakarta.

The military special task force 'Operation Safe Haven' in Plateau says it has arrested some suspects in connection to the recent mass killing in the state.
According to The Nation, the suspects were paraded on Monday before journalists at the STF headquarters, Jos by Adam Umar, media officer of the task force, and Tyopev Terna, spokesman for the state police command.
Umar said 11 of the suspects were arrested in direct link to the attack while the rest were arrested at the scene of protests after the attacks.
"Out of the 21 suspects arrested so far, 11 of them are those arrested in connection to the killings in Barkin Ladi and environs, while 14 of them were arrested from the scene of the civil disturbances after the attacks," Umar said.
"Information we extracted from the original suspects led us to trace some other accomplices and we have also arrested them. And there is the possibility of making more arrest over those killings as we intensify our efforts to get to the root of the killings in pursuant of our mandate to prevent further killings and restore total peace in the state.
Meanwhile, the government has relaxed the curfew placed on three local government areas in the state.
Rufus Bature, secretary to the state government, said the decision is informed by the return of "relative peace and calm" in the state.

(EN) Clément Pascal
(EN) Photographer, Apartment & Studio, Bushwick & Williamsburg, New York City
FvF × Zeit
interviews > (EN) Clément Pascal
(EN) After a few years on the road – living a life of travel and work between Dakar, Cairo and Paris – French photographer Clément Pascal and his wife Sara, a native New Yorker who grew up with Central Park as her playground, settled in the creative borough of Brooklyn, New York.
(EN) Born during the graffiti-influenced 80s, he was surrounded by art and photography at home, but his own interest didn't awaken until he was living on the western coast of Africa. Since then, he's photographed notables from rapper A$AP Rocky to fashion icon Alexander Wang. His distinctive eye for portraiture and fashion photography continues to earn him collaborations with names such as Maison Kitsuné, MUSE, L'Officiel Paris, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times Magazine. Pascal's organic approach showcases his innate ability to capture images through a highly inquisitive lens.
(EN) Essentially living out of a backpack for years gave the roaming photographer a desire to create a place to call home. That notion is ever-present in his beautifully appointed New York apartment. Every corner is designed with intention, while each painting and piece of furniture has been chosen carefully with classicism in mind. He kindly invited us into his Bushwick home, where we spent the day chatting about his journey into photography, the effects of travel on art and his desire to photograph legendary rapper Rick Ross.
This portrait is part of our ongoing collaboration with ZEIT Online who presents a special curation of our pictures on ZEIT Magazin Online.
(EN) What's the story behind your journey into photography?
(EN) I actually did a lot of graffiti when I was younger, so the first photos I ever took were to document that work and preserve it. When I was younger, I did some acting in France, so I was initially pursuing a career in that. I started traveling with the money I made from acting and first went to Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. That's when I'd say I took my first real photographs, because there were so many incredible things to see.
When I came back to Paris, I took a copywriting position for about two months. I was really bad at it, but they offered me a chance to go to Senegal. My wife Sara is getting her PsyD in Clinical Psychology, so she was also in West Africa at the time working for an NGO. After I met her, I desperately needed to find a job so I could stay. I offered to work for free, but I was so terrible that they said no! Luckily, I met contacts in the industry, and someone needed a photographer for a story. Really, it happened by accident and a bit by arrogance! I just told them I could do it and figured it out along the way.
(EN) Is that when you decided to quit pursuing acting and be a full-time photographer?
(EN) Yeah, pretty much. I did some NGO work while I was in Senegal and traveled to Liberia to take pictures. I thought it was all so cool, because I was actually getting paid. You have this moment when the first paychecks come in and you realize "They're paying me? Oh my God! This is awesome!"
Before that, I was always around photography. My dad is a still life photographer and has worked with Elle Décor. But when I was young, I didn't want to do it. It was my dad's job, and I wanted to be an actor. Even though I wasn't into it, I didn't realize then how lucky I was to grow up around photography. I was able to see that having a career in the arts was possible. I don't think I would have ever imagined being a photographer or even an actor if I hadn't had him. How would you know it's an actual possibility? I still have those senses stuck in my memory. The actual smell of the Polaroid, the ringing sound of the timer when the Polaroid finishes exposing, the noise of the camera flash – I'm so nostalgic about those parts of my childhood.
(EN) We didn't have a home, so it wasn't even in our minds to collect things…We were traveling light.
(EN) So how do you feel about having your picture taken today instead of being behind the camera?
(EN) It feels so strange. I normally hate it! Sometimes people will take pictures of me taking pictures, and I am always making some crazy face or doing some insane body pose. It's embarrassing and really uncomfortable!
(EN) It's difficult to find spacious apartments in New York. How did you find this place?
(EN) We were looking for quite awhile, and at the time, they had just opened this building. We loved this place when we saw it, and we loved the area. When we first moved in, we were some of the only people actually living in the building. We could roam around the hallways and all the other rooms whenever we wanted to. It was so great; it was like having our own castle.
(EN) What do you like most about the neighborhood you live in? What makes it unique?
(EN) It's farther from the modernized parts of New York. It's concentrated, and there are families here. You can come home at 11 at night and there are still kids outside playing in the streets. Also, there are so many great places. Down the street, there's a restaurant called Fitzcarraldo that we love. Another place we like is Fritzl's. They have fantastic burgers. AP Coffee, too. It's great for mornings, and they have this amazing Vietnamese iced coffee. I always drink it so fast and then wish I had more!
Oh, and I love the pigeons that circle the apartment. It sounds strange, but it's a Puerto Rican hobby to train carrier pigeons. When you're in bed or sitting on the couch, there's often a huge group of birds just circling the sky, it's so poetic.
(EN) Does any of your furniture have a story behind it?
(EN) I photographed Glenn O'Brien for L'Officiel Paris, and he had this amazing citrus press. Every piece of furniture in his house had an incredible story behind it, so I asked him jokingly if the citrus press had a story. Of course! A guy at Atlantic Records gave it to him, and they used it to break vinyl records that weren't selling. It was the coolest story a citrus press could ever have. So I had to have one, too. Other than that, I built a few things: the mirror, lamp, the table. My dad taught me if you have the ability to do something yourself, you should always do it.
(EN) You were a wanderer for a while, living from place to place. Did you bring back anything from your travels to decorate with?
(EN) To be honest, we never thought about it. A few small things like blankets from Senegal and some Ethiopian paintings, but we had no place to come back to. We didn't have a home, so it wasn't even in our minds to collect things. It was nice to feel so free at the time, but when I think about the places we went and the beautiful things we saw, I really wish we had. We were traveling light.
(EN) You spend quite a lot of time in your studio these days. What do you like most about the work space?
(EN) When you first walk in, there's this beautiful cargo elevator on the bottom floor that takes you right to the studio. But if you walk through the halls, there's crazy stuff everywhere. You walk past paintings from the 70s and Kiss band portraits on the walls. There's even a plaster Mozart bust with a painted pink face. It's so crazy! It's become something I love though, because you see that and wonder where you are. Then you get to the studio, and it's such a contrast. It's white and bright with so much light.
It's funny when models come for shoots. I give them the address and at first they're standing outside thinking "This cannot be the place!" There's this creepy looking door and a weird staircase downstairs, but you just have to come all the way up to find the beautiful space and rooftop. The studio is all about a feeling – it's a certain kind of light.
(EN) You have this moment when the first paychecks come in and you realize "They're paying me? Oh my God! This is awesome!
(EN) Natural light seems to be a strong theme in your work. How does it change a photograph, and how do you use it in your own work?
(EN) I'm obsessed with natural light; I think it's based on my love for the weird things nature does. I've been working on a book called Strange Things Happen for a Reason about crazy things that happen naturally. In photography, I really don't stage things. I like to find stuff that looks cool and happens organically.
(EN) You have quite the collection of cameras. What's your favorite to take photos with?
(EN) I think I see things as pictures. When I look at objects, I see the thing as the image itself. I see how I'd frame it, or what it would look like behind the lens. I love shooting film, because you're able to capture things more naturally. I mainly shoot with a G2, but for larger brand shoots, I have to shoot digital. It's a totally different world. When I come out of a digital shoot and go straight to film, I have to completely adjust. It's almost like changing from English to French; you have to try to compartmentalize.
I also love the Rolleiflex, which I used in Egypt. I'd take my camera and just walk around Cairo in the hot sun and take photos of everything. You look down into the Rolleiflex, so people don't know you're taking photos. I love that idea – kind of like Vivian Maier. It's so romantic to think she photographed that much and never shared them with anyone. She hid behind her camera, and it's difficult to do now that we have so many places to post photos like Instagram and Facebook. If you take pictures of people on the street, they sometimes freak out. I take pictures of cars, and I get into fights over it all the time! I try to explain how the light looks awesome shining off the license plate and feel so stupid for trying to explain myself.
(EN) What other artists are you inspired by?
(EN) Definitely Vivian Maier lately, and I love Zoe Ghertner's work. I used to look at Walker Evans' books with my dad when I was young. He was taking pictures for the government in America, and I remember thinking how important it was to document things in a beautiful way. Juergen Teller for sure, and everything that comes through Richard Avedon's portraits is insane. He gives so much. Helmut Newton because he's Helmut Newton. He has an amazing vision of the woman. He talks about his love for the strong German woman in his biography, and you can totally see it in his pictures. The female is always so powerful.
(EN) You've worked with everyone from Monocle, to MUSE and the New York Times Magazine. What are some of your favorite publications?
(EN) I have so many! Apartmento, Fantastic Man, Gentlewoman. Corduroy is a great one. I like Monocle, The New Order and Champ. Acne Paper is my favorite. It's always so interesting and beautiful. The pictures and interviews – I mean, that whole piece on Fran Lebowitz was incredible! It doesn't get any better. I also love 032c, System and MUSE. I think that covers it. Maybe…
(EN) I think I see things as pictures.
(EN) You've photographed musicians, fashion brands and have even done some documentary work. What kind of photographer would you label yourself as?
(EN) I'd say I'm a fashion and portrait photographer. I like to shoot fashion in a non-fashion way. I think about it the same way I shoot portraits. I don't want anything to look overdone, so I don't stage much. I often let the models do their own thing, and there's usually something different that comes out of it. I also enjoy studio visits, because they mix interior, portraits and documentary photography.
(EN) Of all the projects you've done and people you've photographed, do any specific moments stick out in your mind?
(EN) Honestly, meeting people is my favorite part. There's a little bit of a voyeur thing in seeing the behind the scenes of someone's work. I first started working with rappers, and you never know what they're going to do or say. When I photographed French Montana, we played basketball in a park!
Musicians work with so many photographers, so there's this initial period when they're trying to figure you out. I photographed the rapper Kelis in France once. Remember, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard?" Yep, that's the one. They made me interview her too, and it was terrible. With photography you can stand back and watch what's happening. With interviews, you have to establish a relationship quickly. It goes back to the copywriting job; I'll stick with photography!
(EN) The studio is all about a feeling – it's a certain kind of light.
(EN) Will you stay in New York, or are you ready to hit the road again?
(EN) After coming back from Egypt, I thought I didn't want to travel for a while. We'd been on the road for so long, and I wanted an apartment. I needed a couch, a place, things of my own. I've been here for four years now, and New York feels like home, but traveling is so special. It definitely influenced and changed my work. Everything is so exotic in those new places. I think you need time to really live there though, so you can actually experience the culture and try to understand it all.
I definitely want to go back to Senegal sometime because my level of photography wasn't where it is now. There's this area called Pink Lake in the forest, and it's literally this beautiful bright pink lake. Fashion photos would be gorgeous there.
(EN) What do you think is the most important thing in your apartment?
(EN) The things that can't be replaced – memories, photos, art, my cats.
(EN) Do you have any dream collaborations in mind that the world should know about?
(EN) I'd love to work with clothing company Levi's. I'd also really love to work with Apartamento, and the big dream for me is Gentlewoman. I also want to photograph Rick Ross but in a different way. I'd like to shoot him really naturally. I'd make him sit casually on his couch, with no tee shirt on and maybe even eating some ice cream. Yeah, that would be insane!

What is the punishment for second marriage without divorce in India?
Bigamy results in an invalid marriage.
This happens even when the person thought they were legally divorced.
In the United States, same sex marriage is legal.
These marriages are not immune from bigamy.
If a same-sex couple gets married but one spouse is still married to another person, the second marriage is invalid..
No. You cannot get married without getting a divorce order from the court. It is an offence under the Indian penal code to get married while one has got a spouse living. … If your partner is ready to file a joint petition for divorce, it will be got by 6 months time.
Polyandry is de facto the norm in rural areas of Tibet, although it is illegal under Chinese family law. Polygamy continues in Bhutan in various forms as it has since ancient times. It is also found in parts of Nepal, despite its formal illegality in the country.
To commit bigamy in the U.S., you would have to first legally marry one spouse, and then apply for a second or third license to marry someone else, and follow through with that second (or third) marriage ceremony, all without first obtaining a divorce from the first spouse.
Legal developments Thus polygamy became illegal in India in 1956, uniformly for all of its citizens except for Muslims, who are permitted to have four wives and for Hindus in Goa and along the western coast where bigamy is legal. A polygamous Hindu marriage is null and void.
Polyandry in India refers to the practice of polyandry, whereby a woman has two or more husbands at the same time, either historically on the Indian subcontinent or currently in the country of India. … A minority of the Kinaauris still claim to be descendants of the Pandavas and thus justify the practice of polyandry.
Breakdown of Indian marriages where the daughter-in-law is not good enough for the in-laws is one of the biggest reasons for divorce in India. From issues like 'not enough dowry' to 'not being part of the family' to 'stealing the son from the family' are all typical examples of the cause.
Indeed, anthropologists have found that in both polyandry (one woman, multiple husbands) and polygyny (one husband, multiple wives), sexual jealousy often functions as a stressor in families around the world.
In ancient India, there was a time when the Indian law was not that prevalent or rigid. So, at that time, a person under the Hindu custom had the permission to practice polygamy. In those days, the husband could marry more than one person and have two, or more than two wives.
In the United States, second cousins are legally allowed to marry in every state. However, marriage between first cousins is legal in only about half of the American states. All in all, marrying your cousin or half-sibling will largely depend on the laws where you live and personal and/or cultural beliefs.
NEW DELHI: Although the Hindu Marriage Act prescribes that it shall be lawful to marry again only after dismissal of an appeal filed by aggrieved party against the decree of divorce, the Supreme Court, however, clarified that second marriage would not be void if solemnised during the pendency of appeal.
Can I marry my current wife again without divorce? … If you want to go through another marriage ceremony, it's fine. If you are divorced then you need to remarry her.
Mormon ChurchLDS leaders announced plural marriage as an official Mormon Church practice in 1852. Following Young, Mormon theologians heralded polygamy as a core doctrine and as evidence of patriarchal manliness. By the 1880s, an estimated 20-30 percent of Mormon families practiced polygamy.
When a man is married to more than one wife at the same time, sociologists call this polygyny. When a woman is married to more than one husband at a time, it is called polyandry. If a marriage includes multiple husbands and wives, it can be called a group marriage.
The punishment for bigamy is imprisonment, which may extend till 7 years or fine or both. In case the person charged of bigamy has performed the second marriage by hiding the fact of first marriage, then he shall be punished with imprisonment of up to 10 years or fine or both.
While both women and men can keep 2 husbands and wives respectively, they may not do so as it is illegal in India for Hindu men to have more than one wife and similarly for Hindu women to have more than one husband living at the same time.
Visit TOI daily & earn TimesPoints! IMPHAL: The chief judicial magistrate (CJM), Imphal West, on Thursday sentenced a man to six months of imprisonment after finding him guilty of marrying for the second time without divorcing his first wife.

How expensive is AN ENTIRE BOTTLE of vinegar, anyway?
I love how something horrible happens in our home just as we'e expecting guests: In this case a lovely plug of hair (black) and soap (which I am allergic to) in the bathroom sink just two days before I'm expecting van for the night. Blegh.
I am trying the bicarb-and vinegar approach right now, because I don't want to have to go out and buy drain cleaner, after a CERTAIN SCENE in Supernaturalfreaked me the hell out.
I don't think it's going to work, but it's worth a try...?
This morning I felt miserable in a DO NOT WANT to get up kind of way, so I took a coupl of hours extra sleep and settleddown to work here, only to find that most of my stuff is at the museum.
I'm happy with the shape my current chapter's taking though, so that's a plus :) Now if only I were feeling better, cause I think I might go back to bed with the mehs.
If it helps, Karolina can can a Nico as soon as I'm done cleaning?
Other Pups will have to wait until Lauren arrives, but Runaways ftw?
White vinegar is really only good for windows and unclogging drains anyway.

AAAAAAAAAAARGH! Now I've got that image in my head again! I'd just managed to repress it!

1. On the computer, using the Open Office Drawing program, you drew a horizon line, vanishing point, and a house (in perspective/3D). You then drew 3 alike objects, one large in the foreground, one medium sized in the middle ground, and on small in the background. You had to use at least once in your artwork the following tools; line, shapes, free draw, and symbol. Your house and background were drawn neatly and carefully, including many details.
2. Before you printed your artwork, you thickened all of the lines in your drawing and to made sure your objects were "painted" white or transparent.
3. You neatly colored your art using crayons or colored pencils making sure there was little or no white space. You could have chosen to make your drawing more interesting by coloring unique patterns in the objects of your work.
4. The time and effort you put into your project and the overall look and appearance of your artwork.

Did you see Jerry Seinfeld on Jay Leno's Garage earlier this week? Don't worry if you missed it, it will be available on demand and on Jay's Youtube channel soon enough. Meanwhile, small clips of the show are starting to surface and this was one of the better ones. Featured is Jerry's unrestored 1958 Porsche 356 A Speedster. As he and Jay go for a cruise through the California hills Jerry explains what originally drew him to the Porsche Marque in the first place and how he bought his first Porsche because he "thought it was pretty". Jerry goes on to say, "I thought it was a great design and interesting looking shape. If I could only have one car it would be a Speedster." Asked why he went "all-in Porsche" by Jay, Jerry answers, "minimalism, this little car is the essence of sports car perfection to me. There are no stupid lines on a Porsche that don't make sense that are there for no reason." I think Jerry speaks for a lot of us.

2) I'm sure you get this all the time, but you're how old!!!?? Your writing kiddo… "Somewhere between cacao percentages and the perfect crumb-to-apple ratio on a crumble was a nonchalantly scribbled list of ingredients for this gilt-edged Belgian waffles recipe." LIKE WHAT! Sorry for the caps, but can you please tell me who taught you how to write so eloquently. I need to know. I'm 37 and can't write like you!
A Sunday morning spent in a sunny kitchen, surrounded by fairytale-like wisps of steam slowly fluttering from the Belgian waffle iron, is oddly reassuring— no matter what time of the year. You don't need earsplitting machinery or a workout to mix up delectable waffles, which is one of the many reasons why you'll adore this recipe. Everything practically comes together in a few stirs. That's it. Oh, happy day!
This waffle iron will make your Valentine's Day morning all the more special – or any day you want to celebrate love – because it will make you one waffle that will separate into 5 smaller waffles, each shaped like hearts. It beeps to notify you when it's preheated and ready to cook, and another beep lets you know when the waffle is done. And its Teflon surface makes for a smooth clean up, too.
Although stovetop waffle makers are a little harder to use than electric because you have to regulate the waffle iron's temperature and cooking time, they're also more versatile. They can be used for tailgating, camping trips, or during a power outage (if you have a gas stove). Stovetop waffle irons are usually much smaller and thinner than countertop models, too; so they're the ideal choice for small kitchens with limited storage, camping or tailgating, off-the-grid living, or anyone who enjoys the challenge of learning to create the perfect waffle by hand.
Featuring a six-point dial for customizing waffle doneness, this waffle maker quickly and consistently turned out two perfect waffles at a time, each with a crisp, evenly browned exterior and a custardy interior. With indicator lights on both sides of the waffle maker and a loud audible alert, it was easy to tell when each waffle was done. Weighing nearly 10 pounds and measuring more than 20 inches tall with the lid up, this model was by far the biggest and heaviest of those we tested—but that extra bulk ensured stability and durability. Two minor flaws: the lack of a removable drip tray and the shortness of the handle, on which hot condensation tended to accumulate.

A number of the 18th century waffle recipes took on names to designate their country or region/city of origin – Schwedische Waffeln, Gauffres à l'Allemande and, most famous of all the 18th century varieties, Gauffres à la Flamande, which were first recorded in 1740.[36][37] These Gauffres à la Flamande (Flemish waffles / Gaufres de Lille) were the first French recipe to use beer yeast, but unlike the Dutch and German yeasted recipes that preceded them, use only egg whites and over a pound of butter in each batch.[37] They are also the oldest named recipe that survives in popular use to the present day, produced regionally and commercially by Meert.[38]
The All-Clad 99011GT 2-Square Belgian Waffle Maker makes two Belgian waffles at once. Each waffle plate creates a one-inch thick Belgian waffle with a crispy exterior (thanks, in large part, to the All-Clad's "steam-release" system) and a fluffy interior. If you like deep waffle pockets to catch your syrup and butter, you're likely to enjoy this product. A few owners we surveyed told us that they occasionally get a "limp" or "damp" waffle out of their All-Clad. However, this could very well be the result of anxious consumers who don't wait long enough for their waffle to thoroughly cook.
Before beginning these tests, I'd heard buzz that the All-Clad Belgian Waffle Iron was the Cadillac of waffle makers—a hulking, shiny, stainless steel behemoth capable of turning out batch after batch of five-star hotel-buffet-quality waffles. I was intrigued, but given that it came with a gulp-inducing price tag of $200, also very skeptical. Could the waffles it made really be five times better than those from its lower-priced competitors?
Alternately attributed to the 16th and 17th centuries, Groote Wafelen from the Belgian Een Antwerps kookboek was published as the first recipe to use leavening (beer yeast): Take white flour, warm cream, fresh melted butter, yeast, and mix together until the flour is no longer visible. Then add ten or twelve egg yolks. Those who do not want them to be too expensive may also add the egg white and just milk. Put the resulting dough at the fireplace for four hours to let it rise better before baking it.[25] Until this time, no recipes contained leavening and could therefore be easily cooked in the thin moule à oublies. Groote Wafelen, in its use of leavening, was the genesis of contemporary waffles and validates the use of deeper irons (wafelijzers) depicted in the Beuckelaer and Bruegel paintings of the time.[22]
As it is, not every recipe for American-style Belgian waffles is made the same. Some require folding voluptuous clouds of firmly whipped egg whites into the batter. Others also require that egg yolks and sugar be ribboned together until thick and a stunning pale primrose. These methods and tips are acceptable, of course— everyone has a technique that works for them.
The four-waffle Chef'sChoice Classic WafflePro 854 made waffles that were evenly browned and attractive-looking. And in addition to browning controls, this model has a switch for fast baking (crisp exterior, moist interior) or slow baking (crunchy, uniform texture). However, the waffles it made did not distinguish themselves enough to warrant this machine's much higher price tag—for about half the price, our pick can produce just as many excellent waffles.
For the price, we didn't expect an audio "ready-to-eat" alert, and there isn't one, but there is an indicator light that does the job pretty well instead. An overflow well inside the machine helps with cleanup, but the non-stick surfaces really do require a little help from cooking spray in order to make them totally non-stick and easily cleanable.
Belgian-style waffles were showcased at Expo 58 in Brussels.[59] Another Belgian introduced Belgian-style waffles to the United States at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, but only really took hold at the 1964 New York World's Fair, when another Belgian entrepreneur introduced his "Bel-Gem" waffles.[60] In practice, contemporary American "Belgian waffles" are actually a hybrid of pre-existing American waffle types and ingredients and some attributes of the Belgian model.
Wells was known for jazz, waffles, and celebrities throughout the 30s, 40s and 50s. One story about Well's seems to be widely told and re-told. During late 1950s, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Kim Novak were dating. One morning after breakfast at Wells' Kim's fur coat was found to be "missing" from the coat-room. Frank Sinatra made a stern announcement to the crowd about the missing coat and it appeared back the next day.
have been making the same quick waffle recipe that came with the vintantonio belgian waffle maker I bought over 25 years ago. The recipe is good but has a whole stick of butter in it and it means taking out the kitchenaid. I'm all for simple. Of course in my world, waffles still and will always needs butter ON it as well as pure maple syrup [I do take a small bottle of the stuff to restaurants when going out for breakfast.] Still, I'm so ready for something new. Scouring the internet, this one speaks to me. Having always used real butter, will use coconut oil. True to form, I'll 'experiment' on company this weekend. Thanks
The oublie was, in its basic form, composed only of grain flour and water – just as was the communion wafer.[12] It took until the 11th century, as a product of The Crusades bringing new culinary ingredients to Western Europe, for flavorings such as orange blossom water to be added to the oublies; however, locally sourced honey and other flavorings may have already been in use before that time.[12][13]
Moving into the 17th century, unsweetened or honey-sweetened waffles and oublies – often made of non-wheat grains – were the type generally accessible to the average citizen.[15][28] The wheat-based and particularly the sugar-sweetened varieties, while present throughout Europe, were prohibitively expensive for all but the monarchy and bourgeoisie.[15] Even for the Dutch, who controlled much of the mid-century sugar trade, a kilogram of sugar was worth ½ an ounce of silver (the equivalent of ~$7 for a 5 lb. bag, 01/2016 spot silver prices), while, elsewhere in Europe, it fetched twice the price of opium.[29][30] The wealthier families' waffles, known often as mestiers, were, "...smaller, thinner and above all more delicate, being composed of egg yolks, sugar, and the finest of the finest flour, mixed in white wine. One serves them at the table like dessert pastry."[15]
Love the look and feel of this waffle maker, but it takes 6 min to make a light golden brown waffle. If you are only making a waffle for one person, this product is great, but if you have to make them for family or friends, I recommend you buy one with a temperature setting. I sent mine back and bought one with a temp setting. Family can now enjoy waffles together.

We considered looking at dual-purpose waffle makers with interchangeable plates such as the T-fal EZ Clean Sandwich and Waffle Maker (SW6100) but ultimately passed. Appliances that try to excel at two disparate tasks often fail at one, and from reading the reviews, it seems clear that this T-fal model—which is now discontinued—might make great sandwiches but fails to make excellent waffles.
Germany became a leader in the development and publication of waffle recipes during the 18th century, introducing coffee waffles, the specific use of Hefeweizen beer yeast, cardamom, nutmeg, and a number of zuickerwaffeln (sugar waffles).[33][34] At the same time, the French introduced whipped egg whites to waffles, along with lemon zests, Spanish wine, and cloves.[35] Joseph Gillier even published the first chocolate waffle recipe, featuring three ounces of chocolate grated and mixed into the batter, before cooking.[36]
With the nonstick cooking surface and a removable drip tray, cleanup is easy, too. When you are done, you can leave the gorgeous stainless steel unit on your counter or take advantage of the cord storage and the locking lid and turn it on its side for more compact storage. Like all All-Clad products, there is a limited lifetime warranty on this unit.
In 1971, Oregon track coach and Nike Co-founder Bill Bowerman used his wife's waffle iron to experiment with the idea of using waffle-ironed rubber to create a new sole for footwear that would grip but be lightweight; hence making easier for individual's to be able to increase their speed. Oregon's Hayward Field, where he worked, was transitioning to an artificial surface and "Bill wanted a sole without spikes that could grip equally well on grass or bark dust." He was talking to his wife about this puzzle over breakfast, when the waffle iron idea came into play. [9] Bowerman's design inspiration led to the introduction of the so-called "Moon Shoe" in 1972, so named because the waffle tread was said to resemble the footprints left by astronauts on the moon. Further refinement resulted in the "Waffle Trainer" in 1974, which helped fuel the explosive growth of Blue Ribbon Sports/Nike.[10][11]

One of the most important attributes of a waffle maker is how well its nonstick coating works—there's nothing worse than trying to clean stuck-on waffle from those narrow cracks. Luckily, waffles popped out easily from the Krups GQ502D with the aid of silicone tongs or chopsticks, even on the one or two occasions when opening the lid took a little prying. The manual recommends oiling the plates just once each time you use the machine, and we found that this step was more than enough to keep waffles from sticking, even through many rounds of batter. Best of all, the waffle plates detach from the machine, so once they're cool you can pop them in the sink and wash them with soap and water, or, according to the manufacturer, even run them through the dishwasher. This is so much easier than cleaning most of the other machines we tried, including our former top pick, which requires you to wipe down the plates still in the machine with first a soapy cloth and then a damp one; inevitably, some soap seems to cling stubbornly in the cracks. But only two other machines we tested—the Nordic Ware stovetop model and Black+Decker's brand-new (as of 2016) Removable Plate Waffle Maker, model WM700R—featured removable plates, and both fell far short of the Krups in ease of use and quality of waffles.
Hi Kamran, I've always had a thing for waffles. It is my idea of what a perfect Saturday morning breakfast should be – waffles that are crispy on the outside but moist on the inside. I have tried countless recipes in the past and have settled on two go-to recipes, one uses baking powder, the other is yeast based and uses butter. Interestingly enough both of them yield very similar results. I've always liked them, but didn't love them. I have never tried a recipe that uses oil instead of butter until I tried your recipe and I LOVE it! I couldn't finish using up the batch on the same day so I put the leftover batter in the fridge. I used it up the next day (which is this morning), the result is just as fantastic. Would you mind if I put this on my blog http://lemonchilli.nz, and quote you with a link to your website?
Among the slaves, whose cuisine was based almost entirely on the scraps left behind by landowners and plantation families, poultry was a rare delicacy. Similarly, waffles were unusual, expensive and time-consuming, and hence exotic. As a result, chicken and waffles came to be a special-occasion meal in African American families, often supplying a hearty Sunday morning meal before a long day in church.
1 Serving Size is 1 Cup of batter, which makes one full Belgian Waffle, so no partial waffle servings here in this recipe. I have never tried to freeze them, but if you ahve frozen other waffles before I imagine these would freeze just as well. If you swapped over to Almond Flour you would need to use 1 & 1/2 Cups of Almond Flour. Almond FLour would give you 1-2 more net carbs per waffle roughly.

Have you got unwanted hair? In-growing hairs becoming an issue? Tired of growing hairs for a wax? IPL laser hair removal may just be the answer!
Light is selectively absorbed by melanin, which is the pigment in the hair follicle. The energy heats the pigment and effectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding cells.
The applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, which targets many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighboring area of skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated.
Treatment sensations can vary but are virtually pain-free, typically no anaesthetic is required and most clients describe it as moderate and tolerable.
The hair follicles collapse once heat is introduced (if in the active stage of growing) but the hairs will still remain in the follicles until shedding stage. by heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1 – 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to 'grow' as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.Maintenance and top up treatments will still be required in the future to keep your skin hair free and silky smooth.
The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and bumpy but this usually subsides within a few hours.

– Unemployment rate in New Zealand remained unchanged during the June quarter after a slight decline in the previous quarter, Statistics New Zealand said Thursday. Meanwhile, employment recorded modest gains. The seasonally adjusted jobless rate was 6.5 percent in the June quarter, unchanged from the March quarter. The number of employed persons increased by 1,000 from the March quarter, while the number of unemployed persons stood at 154,000. Although key labor market indicators remained flat when compared with the March quarter, annual changes in the number of unemployed and employed show a continued strengthening of the labor market, industry and labor statistics manager Diane Ramsay said.
Annually, employment grew by 43,000 workers or 2 percent. Over the same period, the number of unemployed fell by 6,000 or 3.7 percent, the largest annual decrease since December 2007. The unemployment rate was 6.9 percent in the June quarter of 2010.Commenting on the data, Ban Jarman, an economist at J.P. Morgan said the data suggests that the volatility in the New Zealand labor market data is fading, and it sets a good base for acceleration in hiring as indicated by the business surveys in the third quarter. The statistical office also reported that the total actual hours worked rose 1.6 percent quarter-on-quarter compared to 0.2 percent decline in the previous quarter.
global financial risks recede and the economy continues to recover.On the other hand, if the current very high value of the New Zealand dollar persists, it is likely to reduce the need for further OCR increases in the short term, he added.Referring to the latest employment data, Jarman said there is nothing in this report to make the RBNZ step back from their clearly phrased intention to withdraw the 50 basis points of earthquake "insurance" accommodation at the next meeting in September. "Rather, the risks to that view lie offshore, as European sovereign concerns escalate again while global growth prospects continue to be marked down," the economist added.

Q: Matplotlib histogram shifted xticks For some reason xticks on my histogram are shifted:

Here is the code:

data = list(df['data'].to_numpy())
bin = 40
plt.style.use('seaborn-colorblind')
plt.grid(axis='y', alpha=0.5, linestyle='--')
plt.hist(data, bins=bin, rwidth=0.7, align='mid')
plt.yticks(np.arange(0, 13000, 1000))
ticks = np.arange(0, 100000, 2500)
plt.xticks(ticks, rotation='-90', ha='center')
plt.show()

Im wondering why x ticks are shifted at the very beginning of the xaxis.

A: When setting bins=40, 40 equally sized bins will be created between the lowest and highest data value. In this case, the highest data value seems to be around 90000, and the lowest about 0.  Dividing this into 40 regions will result in boundaries with non-rounded values. Therefore, it seems better to explicitly set the bins boundaries to the values you really want, for example dividing the range 0-100000 into 40 (so 41 boundaries).
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.style.use('seaborn-colorblind')
data = np.random.lognormal(10, 0.4, 100000)
data[data > 90000] = np.nan
fig, axes = plt.subplots(ncols=2, figsize=(12, 4))
for ax in axes:
    if ax == axes[0]:
        bins = 40
        ax.set_title('bins = 40')
    else:
        bins = np.linspace(0, 100000, 41)
        ax.set_title('bins = np.linspace(0, 100000, 41)')
    ax.grid(axis='y', alpha=0.5, linestyle='--')
    ax.hist(data, bins=bins, rwidth=0.7, align='mid')
    ax.set_yticks(np.arange(0, 13000, 1000))
    xticks = np.arange(0, 100000, 2500)
    ax.set_xticks(xticks)
    ax.tick_params(axis='x', labelrotation=-90)

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

A: The issue is related to the way bins are constructed.
You have two choices:

*

*Set the range for bins directly
plt.hist(data, bins=bin, rwidth=0.7, range=(0, 100_000), align='mid')

*Set x axis accordingly to the binning:
_, bin_edges, _ = plt.hist(data, bins=bin, rwidth=0.7, align='mid')
ticks = bin_edges
I recommend the 2. option. The histogram will have a more natural scale comparing to the boundaries of bins.

Emirati perfumer pays homage to her roots with new collection
November 3, 2022 | By Rupkatha B
UAE-based Emirati perfumer Amna Sultan Al Habtoor, founder of niche fragrance brand Arcadia has launched a new fragrance collection that pays homage to the UAE and underscores her love for the country.
The new collection titled Edition 3 – The Tribute Edition will feature three distinct notes, including oud, amber and musk, each dedicated to a time within the UAE. Devotion, the oud-based scent, is devoted to those who have been here from the start. Eternal, which is amber based is a nod to those who have come and gone. While Sincere, which includes notes of musk, is an ode to those who have just arrived.
Commenting on the collection Al Habtoor said, "I have a deep-rooted passion for the UAE; it is my home, my past, my present and my future. It represents everything close to my heart. Through Edition 3, I have been able to convey many emotions using notes and scents that hold so many memories, whether of family or friends, both old and new. Edition 3 is my tribute to them."
Ahead of the launch in an exclusive interview with RetailME Al Habtoor shared Arcadia's evolution since 2017.
Please walk us through Arcadia's business milestones over the past 12 months.
I can say that 2022 started on a very exciting note with a collaboration with boxing legend Muhammad Ali's official estate. The collection called 'Thunderous' is retailed in Arcadia stores and at select retailers locally and internationally. And now we are all set to end the year with the launch of our new collection Edition 3.
What kind of challenges have you navigated since the pandemic?
It wouldn't be wrong to say that 2020 was the toughest year for us, especially considering we opened our flagship store in March of that year. But we persevered and launched our home fragrance line during the pandemic's peak. The home fragrance range reflects the many emotions we all felt at such a difficult time.
What are your future innovation/expansion plans?
The ultimate goal is to establish Arcadia as a meaningful lifestyle brand. So, with every move we make, whether it's entering new markets or new product extensions, we are very conscious of what we want Arcadia to mean.

YAMAHA DZR10D & DXS15XLF
In Audio, Audio Product Newsby Kristine Lutero December 25, 2019
By: Jorge Gutierrez
The brand-new DZR range of powered loudspeakers has brought the full weight of Yamaha's experience, expertise and manufacturing might to provide lightweight powerhouses of speakers
to the portable market. Comprising a range that includes 10", 12" and 15" models, the DZR series has some impressive features included that greatly increase versatility and usability in a variety of venues and uses.
Crosspoint Adventist Church, in Hillsboro, Oregon, exists inside a converted warehouse space which has presented some acoustical challenges for our existing speaker system, which comprises a pair of older JBL EON speakers with another pair of passive Peavey speakers to help cover the space. Suffice to say that our system is in need of upgrade so we jumped at the chance to try out these new speakers.
We were sent the DZR10D 10" powered speakers with a single DXS15XLF powered 15" subwoofer. We already have a mismatched pair of powered subwoofers, so I wasn't sure how this single sub would perform.
The equipment arrived, and a local AV consultant, Tim Adams of Timato Systems, helped me get the speakers and sub set up. Initially, we wanted to see how these would integrate into our current setup but we quickly realized that these would not only do quite well on their own without the older speakers, but they completely blew the newer speakers out of the water in terms of sonic clarity, coverage and power.
The amount of headroom we experienced with this system was breathtaking. You wouldn't think that 10" speakers could fill a space that measures roughly 80'Wx70'Dx25'H but it really does! The single subwoofer was cleaner, hit harder and had a tighter overall sound than the combined output of our current subwoofers.
Part of this capability is due to the on-board 2000 watts of amplification built into these speakers. This does mean you should plan for a single dedicated 20-amp circuit for each speaker and subwoofer, but it's worth it! We have been using these speakers on their own exclusively for the last 5 weeks and the comments we have received have been amazing!
The speakers incorporate a two-way bi-amped design and have a maximum SPL of 137dB, so they can hit pretty hard. They have an impressive frequency response of 44Hz-20kHz and onboard 96kHz DSP and FIR filter for pretty high quality sound.
Our units also included Dante connectivity built-in, so that was a nice feature to see for installed applications that wanted an end-to-end digital signal flow. We were unable to test this feature, but knowing how prevalent Dante has become over the last few years, it is nice to see manufacturers responding with this capability.
The speakers also include presets out of the box for a variety of setups and uses, which is pretty handy. Included EQ and other DSP functions help you fine tune the system to your specific environment and/or tastes.
You can use these as floor monitors as well, further enhancing the value you receive in this package. Finally, they have a rotatable 90°x60° horn, which means you can install these horizontally and still achieve the same coverage pattern by rotating the horn. This is a super-helpful feature to have that greatly increases usability and value, for both system integrators and end users.
The DXS15XLF 15" subwoofer is neither overly heavy nor does it do light duty; the onboard 1600w amplifier can produce up to 136dB of output in a frequency range of 33Hz150Hz, which gives you a wide range for your crossover tuning. I love this feature because every space is going to have a "sweet spot" for the crossover frequency between your subwoofer and mains and it's awesome to see that Yamaha has provided a lot of flexibility here that lets me fine-tune that to where I need it to be.
The sub has the same 96kHz DSP and presets onboard so the user interface is both familiar and intuitive. The cabinet is real wood, not molded plastic, which helps produce that rich, warm low-end you want in your sound system.
Also included onboard is the D-XSUB processing and a cardioid mode to help in those situations where you want or need to create a cardioid subwoofer array, which is not a feature I see on many subwoofers, so kudos to Yamaha for providing the market an extremely well thought out and well-researched product that can exceed the expectations in a number of different live sound categories.
This Yamaha system, while small, packs a powerful punch and has added a significant amount of high quality, clear and powerful support to our services and will be a heavy favorite when it comes time to upgrade out aging system. We are certainly sad to sendit back, knowing what we are going to be going back to.
The price point could be considered a bit high, given what other manufacturers are putting out on the market; however, it's important that you evaluate on a level playing field and look at the feature set, and the sound quality you get in this system. The "budget" options may establish the bottom of the barrel in terms of price, but they also set the standard for quality pretty low by comparison, as well.
If you're in the market for either a portable system or an installed system that packs a punch, I would strongly urge you to do what you must to arrange a demo of this system before you make a purchase; these Yamaha speakers will not let you down in sound quality or reliability.
JORGE GUTIERREZ IS A WORSHIP LEADER AT CROSSPOINT ADVENTIST CHURCH. HE OFTEN WORKS ON THE SOUND SYSTEM AND CREATING MIXES FOR DIFFERENT MUSIC GROUPS.


Hope you are all having a great start of school! Also, here is some good news coming out of East-West University downtown!
Ø Erma Faire-Doeing, Ken Patterson and I will be fully compensated for summer classes that we were scheduled to teach but were taken away from us by the administration.
Ø EWU will go back to the hiring procedures that it used during the 2010 Spring Quarter. This means that the firings related to our union organizing will be rescinded.
Ø While the pay raises announced by the administration for the 2010 Fall Quarter will remain intact, the University will not promise any "future benefits" to the part-time faculty as part of an effort to undermine support for the union.
The fact that the employer took this action of giving raises in response to the "threat" of bringing in a union is a big victory for all of us since we have not had a raise since 2004. This is just the beginning. Even with the raises, we are still the lowest paid adjunct faculty in the Chicagoland area; once we have a union, we can continue to negotiate for greater improvements than what we currently receiving.
Meeting with Congressman Danny DavisOur delegation (Erma Faire-Doeing, IEA Organizers, Willie David Fuller, an EWU alum and I) met with the Congressman this morning. Davis is a member of the EWU Board of Trustees. We asked him to urge the EWU administration to accept the Labor Board's offer to settle our ULP. Congressman Davis has always been a supporter of the labor union movement. He was extremely gracious and promised to speak to the administration about the issue.
If EWU refuses to comply with terms of the settlement, we will continue to protest publicly its anti-union animus. We are committed to ensuring that all EWU adjuncts are treated fairly and respectfully.

11 Amazing HO Train Layouts – [WITH VIDEOS]
By Scale, HO Scale, Layouts, Model Train Reviews, Train Stuff, Videos / By ToyTrainCenter
There may be a lot of model train scales and gauges but one of the most popular of them all would be the HO scale. Furthermore, there are lots of HO Train Layouts you can refer to in building a wonderful and mesmerizing model train scenery or layout.
Beginner model train enthusiast doesn't really understand about scaling and sizes. Fortunately, choosing an HO scale would make it easier for them to collect and build due to the popularity of the scale. Most model train brands and manufacturers have abundant stocks or supplies for this scale.
An HO scale train is about 1:87 scale. That's ranging about 3.5mm to 1 foot in size. It has a railing space or size about 16.5mm apart. This is a great model train choice for all skill levels, from beginners to professionals.
There are countless layout possibilities you can build upon if you choose an HO scale model trains. Compared to lower scale model trains, you'd be able to assemble things easily. You'd worry less about intricate parts and accessories due to sizing issues.
The first thing that you would want to do is to decide what scale you're going to use for your layout. Either way, some layout can be used on different scales as long as you can measure the difference proportionally.
Deciding which scale to use is easy. However, you need to consider the availability of the parts, pieces, and accessories you need to use to avoid any mishaps such as delays and incompatibility with the overall layout.
The scenery comes after, which would be a bit harder since you'd either want to go big for your first layout (for beginners) or you would want to go less or simple.

How big is HO scale? What Are the Largest Model Railroads in the USA?


I've fished for anna stripers the past three days now and I'm getting a feel in how and where they are feeding. Right now theres no shortage of either stripers or bait from the mouth of Mitchels creek to the first bridges up lake. Water temps are still in the mid fifties but I expect them to drop after the cold front coming in on Thanksgiving day. The further up the rivers you go the colder the water gets...and the dirtier they get.
As always, look for the birds. They will tell you where the active feeding fish are. The stripers are feeding periodically throughout the day right now, and cloudy days seem to be better than the clear sunny days as expected. Early morning (6:30-7:30), and late evening of course are the best times then its a waiting game for pods of striper to come up throughout the day. If you're in an area where nothing is happening then crank up and go looking for em between 208 bridge and the first bridges. Wherever you find a pod of boats or birds gathered you'll find the active fish.
I throw a Vault Blade bait 90% of the time and I'm catching fish but not nearly as many as those that are throwing swim baits and ARigs. The striper are hanging / suspended in the mid depth ranges and the schools break apart rather quickly after their initial attack on a pod of bait. You need to canvass the area fan casting swim baits if you want to catch more than just one or two after the initial attack. The ones I am catching are hitting my blade on the drop or as I am retrieving it in. I don't catch as many as others but I think I'm catching more keepers when I do get bit. 90% of the time the bigger ones are deeper than the smaller ones up top...thats what I believe anyway, lol. I do catch an occasional bass mixed in with the stripers and the bass love a gold blade. During the dead times of the day, I'll canvas the bottom under a school of bait in the 15 to 30 foot range with the blade bait, searching for large silver perch, catfish, and bass.
If the birds are working tight to the bank, you can bet on bass being there too even if you catch a few stripers mixed in.
On a side note, Dave is the only one working fish tails right now. If he's not there when you launch don't forget to pay the ramp fee when you come in. We don't want to mess up a good thing.
Good luck out there friends and God bless.
Thanks for the report and all the tips. I want to get after some Lake Anna stripers this Fall or Winter.
Great Report! Had my grandson out this morning and will post a report shortly.
Who will be out there tomorrow morning with temps in the teens?
Thanks for the report Jim. I was hoping to get there Saturday, but the weather is looking wet. I'm coming down with a cold, looks like I'll stay home this weekend.
Them stripers aren't going anywhere. You get well. They'll be there when you're ready. God bless.

Issues: student loans
Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Gaffe
President Joe Biden wrongly said that he got student debt forgiveness "passed by a vote or two." There was no vote. Biden simply announced that the Department of Education would provide debt relief, and the plan is facing a legal challenge.
Q&A on Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness
The White House announced on Aug. 24 that President Joe Biden will take action this year to cancel thousands of dollars in federal student loan debt for millions of Americans, fulfilling a campaign promise he made during the 2020 election cycle. We answer some of the questions readers may have about the debt relief plan, and address political claims about the impact of the plan.
Schumer, Warren Misstate Student Loan Debt Disparity
In a press conference in which they called on President Biden to use his executive authority to cancel up to $50,000 in federal student loan debt for individuals, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren misstated a racial disparity statistic.
FactChecking the November Democratic Debate
Several candidates twisted the facts on health care, student loan debt, President Trump and more.
Ralph Northam's 'Sell Out' Stretch
A TV ad from Democrat Ralph Northam strains to portray Republican Ed Gillespie as a lobbyist who sold out workers by fighting "to give billions to Wall Street banks."
FlackCheck Video: Fiorina on Student Loans
This FlackCheck.org video summarizes our May 7 story "Fiorina Misleads on Student Loans." Carly Fiorina, a Republican presidential candidate, claimed that the government had "nationalized" the college loan industry.
Fiorina Misleads on Student Loans
Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina gave a misleading description of the options available for college students who need loans to pay for their education.
Student Loan Stretching
Arkansas Rep. Tom Cotton mischaracterizes the Affordable Care Act's impact on student loans, and a teachers union stretches Cotton's voting record on the issue.
Obama Misquotes GOP Congresswoman
President Obama misrepresented the position of Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx on college debt. The president quoted Foxx as saying that she had "very little tolerance for people who tell me they graduate with debt." But Foxx was speaking explicitly about those with very large amounts of debt, a fact that Obama omitted and that changes the meaning of the North Carolina congresswoman's statement.
The sin of omission was in Obama's speech in Boulder, Colo., as the president pushed for the extension of current federal student loan interest rates.
Congress Not Exempt from Student Loans
Q: Is it true that members of Congress, their staffers and their family members do not have to pay back their student loans?
A: Not true. Some congressional employees are eligible to have up to $60,000 of student loans repaid after several years — just like other federal workers. But that's not the case for members of Congress or their families.
