Joburg mayor's yet to be presented IDP plan aims to address Alex residents concerns
A government task team is set to swoop into Alexandra to address community concerns after recent protests. The City of Johannesburg already has a plan but wasn't allowed to present it on Monday.
Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Zweli Mkhize will lead an inter-governmental task team to meet protest leaders in Alexandra on Wednesday after demonstrations in recent weeks put the township in the spotlight ahead of the 8 May elections.
With elections 20 days away, the ANC and DA continue to bicker over who has neglected and disrespected the people of Alexandra most: the ANC during its decades running Johannesburg or the DA's Mayor Herman Mashaba for taking weeks to visit the township during protests.
Both agree it has been neglected. In Mashaba's planned meeting in Marlboro on Monday, he was going to echo some of President Cyril Ramaphosa's sentiments in Alex days earlier.
"There is absolutely no question, the people of Alexandra have serious and long-standing grievances about their lived experiences. After 25 years of democracy, living conditions should be better here in Alexandra," began the mayor's 87-page presentation on the city's draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP).
Mkhize's team, appointed by Ramaphosa, includes the ministers of co-operative governance, human settlements, water and sanitation, environmental affairs, home affairs, police, and rural development and land reform. They will liaise with different spheres of government to address housing, poverty, crime and immigration concerns in the area.
The City of Johannesburg already has a plan, which Mashaba could not present on Monday evening after his meeting was disrupted by protesters, but it provides an indication of how the DA-led administration plans to develop Alex.
On housing, the city's IDP includes plans to refurbish and redevelop the Madala and Helen Joseph hostels, allocating R10-million and R20-million respectively in the next financial year. Consultants are expected to finalise an audit of the Madala Hostel's needs by month's end. A contractor has not been appointed to develop the Helen Joseph Hostel as one must first be found from the area.
The city also plans to do minor repairs on both hostels, which are dilapidated and unsafe.
Other housing developments in the area include a planned 252 units in Lombardy West, 1,000 units in Linbro Park and another 6,000 in Linksfield. Construction for most of these units is scheduled to begin in 2020/21. Criticism of housing developments in the past has centred on their allocation with locals claiming that they are overlooked in favour of foreigners.
The IDP also explains that the new Thoko Mngoma Clinic is now operational and a new clinic on 4th avenue is complete and will be launched soon. A drug and rehabilitation centre was opened in River Park in August 2018.
Land occupations and the erection of illegal structures have been a key concern in Alexandra. The IDP says the Joburg Metro Police Department has established a unit to respond to invasions and secure properties and building inspectors will attend to illegal builds and issue contravention notices and penalties.
The city plans to install 100 new street lights in Alex, allocate R20-million to the local Vasco da Gama substation to improve power supply and provide electricity to 686 informal stands.
The area is prone to flooding along the Jukskei River and capacity assessments have started to determine the flood lines to address the issue. The Johannesburg Roads Agency and department of environment and infrastructure services are working on a plan to secure the river bank within three years.
"Refuse collection rounds are being increased from once a week to twice a week starting this week," the IDP says. Many Alexandra residents have complained about poor refuse collection from Pikitup, which the IDP said would start "extensive operations", particularly around the area's hostels.
On economic development, the municipality plans to open the Alexandra Opportunity Centre in 2019, which will provide assistance for job seekers and small businesses. Construction of a new automotive hub is 98% complete and will receive R13.5-million in the coming financial year, said Mashaba's IDP.
On Tuesday, the ANC criticised Mashaba's administration for attempting to address protesters' concerns in a scheduled IDP meeting rather than a separate event.
"At the heart of the residents' discontent is the lack of service delivery by the municipality. The mayor should visit Alexandra with the sole purpose of tackling this. The fact that the meeting was held in Marlboro also reveals how it was not about directly addressing the issue at hand but rather about masking the fact that he is an inept leader," said the ANC Johannesburg in a statement.
"It should be highlighted that, as it stands, the mayor has failed to face and address the residents of Alexandra, but has instead been churning out media statements, playing his infamous blame game," it continued.
On Tuesday, the department of co-operative governance outlined protesters' key concerns: housing, poor service delivery, especially regarding sewerage, water and electricity, illegal shacks, immigration, refuse removal and jobs.
On Wednesday, Mashaba said he welcomed the task team. "I have committed the city to this process in order to bring the kind of solutions that we were to present at the IDP session on Monday evening," he said in a statement.
The mayor believes he had a plan. But then again, so did his predecessors in the ANC administration.

Children as young as 12 could soon be charged as adults with attempted murder in Indiana.
The state Senate yesterday overwhelmingly approved a new plan that lowers the age for attempted murder charges.
Current law says kids younger than 14 cannot be charged as adults.
That prevented prosecutors from seeking more jail time for the 13-year-old who shot a classmate and a teacher at Noblesville West Middle School last May.
Only three senators voted against the plan.


본 전시는 오늘날 한국 사회에 지속되는 건설주의적 성장 신화를 비판적 시각에서 살피고, 그 내부의 타자적 위치들을 통해 그리고 복합적인 성별(gender)적 관점을 통해 다시 우리의 근현대의 모습을 재구성해보는 전시다. 이 전시는 작가 임민욱의 SOS 퍼포먼스를 통해 재발견한 한강변의 건설풍경과 그것의 현대적 바니타스, 그리고 오쿠이 엔웨조가 동아시아 국가의 개발적 모더니티를 남성주의적 모더니티 (andro-modernity)로 언급했던 개념으로부터 영감을 얻어 기획된 것이기도 하다.
한강의 기적이라고 일컫어지는 한국식 개발의 역사는 오늘날 한국 주류사회의 강력한 밑바탕을 이루고 있다. 큐레이터 오쿠이 엔웨저는 2008 광주비엔날레의 베이징 심포지엄에서 동아시아의 모더니티의 양상이 서구의 초창기 모델을 받아들여 전형적인 건설 개발의 유형으로 띄기 때문에 매우 남성적 근대의 모습을 구현하고 있다고 언급한 바 있다. 이는 또한 동아시아의 강력한 가부장적 전통과 접목하여 더욱 강력하게 자리잡고 있다. 즉, 한국 주류의 서사는 지극히 이성애중심적이고 남성주의적이며 가족주의적으로 구축되어 있는데, 이것은 결코 간과할 수 없는 많은 사회적 문제들의 근간이기도 하다.
여전히 우리는 과거의 압축 성장으로부터 오늘날 '녹색 성장'이라는 이름의 새로운 계획까지 한국 사회 내부에서 끊임없는 파우스트적, 사이비 파우스트적인 개발자의 욕망과 대면하게 된다. 그로부터 주변화되는 사회 내의 여러 비가시적 존재들이 지속적으로 파생되고 있는데, 우리는 오히려 그들의 그 다각적인 표류의 면면을 가깝게 들여다보고 그로부터 새로운 시각을 건져올려야 할 것이다. 이번 전시는 진행되는 개발주의적 주류 서사를 리포트하고 단순 비판하는 것이라기 보다는 오히려 견고한 한국적 주류 서사로부터 빗겨간 외곽의 서사들을 통해 현재를 다각적으로 재구성하고 현 사회 한층 더 개입할 수 있는 이질적인 층위들을 엮어 내고자 한다. 특히 이러한 지점들을 여성주의적으로 접목하여 사회내부에 형성된 복합적인 젠더의 구성과 그 표상들의 분화를 살펴보거나, 가정과 같은 사회 구성체 내의 숨겨진 다양한 폭력성이나 가부장적 갈등 속에서 자신을 재정립해 나가는 젊은 여성들의 시선을 새로운 가능성의 내러티브로 가시화해 보고자한다.
작가 임민욱의 비디오 작업 "SOS"는 지난 3월 한강 유람선을 타고 관람하는 퍼포먼스를 기록하여 비디오 버전으로 완성한 것으로, 장기수 문제와 88만원 세대의 표류 등 동시대 한국 사회 내의 문제들을 '한강 르네상스'라는 또 하나의 건설기획적 풍경 위로 드러낸다. 44분간의 싱글 채널 비디오를 통해 관객은 유람선 선장의 안내멘트를 따라 여행하게 된다. 그리고 물살을 헤치는 유람선 저 멀리 강둑에서 등장하는 세 가지의 서로 다른 존재들-거울을 반사하며 데모하는 젊은이들, 노들섬을 달리는 정처없는 젊은 연인들, 냉전적 '보안' 담론의 희생자인 비전향장기수-을 발견하고 만나게 된다. 우리는 다른 각도에서 한국근대가 만든 동시대의 모습들을 만나고, 밤의 어둠속에서 명멸하는 한강변 아파트의 불빛들을 통해 그 성장 신화의 바니타스와, 그럼에도 불구하고 얼굴을 바꿔 재등장하는 개발 성장의 끊임없는 욕망을 대면하게 된다.
정은영의 세 편의 비디오 작업은 여성으로 남성 역할을 소화하는 여성 국극의 배우들을 담고 있다. 무대 내외부에서 이 배우들에게서 발견되는 몸의 언어, 즉 그들의 퍼포먼스를 기록하면서 그 모호하고 복잡한 젠더적 표상들을 관찰한다. 정은영은 한편 여성국극의 배우들이 자신의 여성적 몸을 통해 근대의 한국식 마초 남성성을 포함하여 남성적 언행을 적극적으로 체현하고 재현하고 있는 아이러니를 다시 포착함으로써 현대성이 보다 복합적이고 복잡한 정체성의 수행하며, 동시대가 여전히 점점 더 복잡한 젠더 형성의 과정 속에 놓여져 있음을 확인시킨다.
한편, 조익정, 윤향로, Part-time Suite는 대학교를 막 졸업한 소위 88세대들로 이들의 작업은 사회와 가정을 바라보는 시각, 자신들의 창작과 삶의 터전에 대한 고민과 그 갈등으로부터의 자신들의 출발하고 있다. 조익정은 20대 중반으로 자신과 가장 가까운 남자들과의 복합적 갈등(아버지와의 가부장적 갈등, 남자친구와의 계층적 갈등)을 방백적인 비디오로 그리고 애인과 시간을 보낼 공간을 얻어내기 위해 독거노인과 불편하고 미묘한 이용 관계 속에 놓이는 상황을 다큐멘터리 형식의 비디오 작업으로 담아내는데 이는 모두 젊은 여성이 자신의 위치와 자리를 얻어내기 위해 서로 다른 계층적 위계적 세대적으로 서로 다른 남성들과 맺어야 하는 기묘하고 미묘한 관계 설정과 그 긴장을 드러내고 있다.
윤향로의 섬세하고도 기묘한 분위기를 풍기는 드로잉 시리즈는 가정내외에 여성 구성원에게 경험되고 주어지는 억압이나 어린이와 여성이 노출되어 있는 성적 학대의 경험을 암시한다. 작가는 여러 도안책에서 이미지를 차용하고 그것을 다시 변용하는 과정을 통해 드로잉의 표현적 성향을 자제하고 어떤 거리감과 객관성을 만들어 낸다. 이렇듯 이미지를 중화하는 과정을 수행함으로써 단순히 한 개인의 특수한 경험이나 트라우마가 아닌 사회 문제의 하나로 객관화하고 있다. 동시에 이를 통해 가정이나 학교와 같은 다양한 사회구성체 내부의 폭력성이 얼마나 내밀화되어있는지 확인시킨다.
도시 빈 공간들에 한달간 세를 들어 자신들만의 미술공간을 창출하는 Part-time Suite의 작업은 소위 88세대로서 기성세대의 간택을 통해 미술계에 진입할 수 밖에 없는 수동성을 오히려 역발상을 통해 벗어던지고 있다. 이들은 도시내에서 스스로 일시적인 장소들을 끊임없이 찾아 온전히 점유할 뿐 아니라 서정적이고 아름다운 설치, 행위 작업들을 통해 새로운 세대의 언어를 보여준다. 지난 6개월 사이에 벌였던 "언더인테리어"(아현동 건물지하)와 "오프오프스테이지"(광화문 근처 숨겨진 공터)라는 두 번의 프로젝트 이후 이번 전시를 통해 세 번째 공간과 프로젝트를 보여줄 예정으로 두산갤러리에서 관객은 지도를 가지고 근처 오래된 건물 옥상에 위치한 이들의 공간을 다시 찾아가야 한다. 알 수 없이 떠 밀려가는 현실 속의 유약한 젊은이의 위치를 역설적으로 창조적 삶의 가능성으로 전환하는 파트타임스위트는 스스로가 오늘날의 희망적 징후라 할 수 있다.
이러한 작업들은 사회내의 표류하는 삶으로부터 끌어낼 수 있는 반성적 영역을 드러내면서 나아가 여전히 지속되고 과정중에 있는 현대성의 양가적이고 모순적인 속성들을 살피는 기회를 제공한다. 때문에 본 전시는 우리의 현재가 다시 어떻게 재구성될 수 있는지, 그리고 현재 비가시적인 주체의 현현속에서 우리의 모더니티가 그리고 이 동시대의 모습이 어떤 복합적 과정 속에 있는지를 밝히는 것이기도 하다. 동시대 사회의 현재가 가진 괴물적인 모습 속에 숨겨진 다각적이고 길항적 서사의 발견을 통해, 그리고 탈각된 타자들의 위치로부터 울리는 다른 시선들을 통해, 새롭게 도래할 '가능한 현재들'의 반격과 그 반전을 모색해야 할 것이다.
The Perspective Strikes Back exhibition reconstitutes the modern, contemporary scene through the eye of others inside our society, critically reconsidering the developer growth myth that has continued in Korean society until today. The curation was inspired by artist Minouk Lim's SOS performance, which helped rediscover the constructed landscape on the banks of the Han River and the modern version of vanities, as well as Okwui Enwezor's notion of andromodernity defining the developmental modernity of East Asian countries.
The history of Korean-style development, often referred to as 'the Miracle on the Han River,' constitutes the strong foundations of the current mainstream of Korean society. According to curator Okwui Enwezor, in his article Modernity and Postcolonial Ambivalence (Altermodern catalog, Tate, London 2009), Korean modernization is a typical example of developing modernity through adoption of the Western model of modernization (supermodernity), which is considered as the sole category of the developed and advanced. He designates this developing modernity as andromodernity, meaning a hybrid form of modernity, found especially in countries like China, India and South Korea. Such modernity is achieved through a kind of accelerated development, while also devising alternative models of development. It is understood to embody very masculine traits, since it's principal emphasis is on development or modernization. In most East Asian countries, it has been reinforced through the incorporation of the deep-rooted patriarchal tradition. Thus, it is obviously noted that the main discourse of the state is quite centered on heterosexuality, masculism, and familism.
With the desire of the Faustian or pseudo-Faustian developer, the society is rushing from the condensed growth model of the past to today's 'Green Growth' plan, a more evolved form. It is simultaneously and constantly reproducing various invisible beings who have been drifted from the developer's propulsive force. The exhibition pays attention to certain kinds of social derelicts or undoers who are not operating the musculine narrative of the state, attempting to reinterpret their struggles as new possibility. It not only aims to report the problems of the present national situation under the new Korean government, but also deals with the marginalized narratives that constantly deviate from those of the solid Korean mainstream epic. In particular, by applying feminist perspectives to these issues, it explores the complex constitution of gender inside the society and the ramifications of its representations, showing the perspectives of younger generation women who try to re-establish themselves out of patriarchal conflicts or all kinds of violence.
First, Minouk Lim's film entitled SOS-Adoptive Dissensus (2009) documented the performance to take a cruise down the Han River in May, 2009, disclosing social issues in Korea including Pal-Sib-Pal-Man-Won-Se-Dae (880-thousand-won generation)' and Bi-Jeon-Hyang-Jang-Ki-Soo (unconverted political prisoners) over the landscape of another construction project called "Han River Renaissance." Through this 44-minute long single-channel video, the audience will follow the captain's announcement and finally come to find the three different beings on the river bank: young people who are demonstrating, reflecting the light with mirrors, unsettled young lovers who are running along the bank of Nodeul Island, uncertain where to go, and the long-time political prisoners who are victims of the binary 'security' discourse under the North-South ideological conflict as in the cold war. In this way, we encounter not only contemporary scenes produced by modern Korea but also the vanitas of the growth myth in the flickering lights of the row of apartments by the riverside, recognizing that this persistent desire of developmental growth nevertheless reappears endlessly with changed faces.
Artist siren eun young jung's three video works, The Masquerading Moments (2009), The Unexpected Response (2009) and The Rehearsal (2009) feature the female performers of Yeosung gukgeuk (women's Korean musical) who play male characters. Yeosung gukgeuk started in the late 1940s as a new type of changgeuk (Korean traditional musical). Although the strong popularity it enjoyed during the 50s and 60s has faded away nowadays, this special kind of play still possesses a very singular quality of subversiveness and queerness in that it is performed only by female actors who cover characters of all different ages as well as both genders(male/female). The artist took their bodily gestures, found both on and off stage – that is, their performances, observing their equivocal, complicated gender representations. By capturing the irony whereby these actresses actively embody and appropriate the Korean modern masculinity – such as typical Korean macho men's behaviours –, the artist corroborates that modernity is still on the progress through more complexity of gender representation and its complicated performances of identity formation.
Ikjung Cho presents the film, Four Refrigerator (2009), saying in an aside about her troubles with the men closest to her- for example, a patriarchal conflict with her father and an estrangement between her boyfriend and herself due to the class gap and the man's complex. The second video by Cho, Room for Two (2009), is a fictional documentary that tells a story about a woman involved in an uncomfortable and awkward relationship with an old man living alone for the purpose of finding a place where she would be able to spend time together with her financially inadequate boyfirend. Both of these show the weird and subtle relationship in which a young woman has to negotiate with different men in different positions in the social hierarchy, class level and generational strata, in order to obtain her own place and status.
Hyangro Yoon's drawings like The Secret Series (2008) and Criminal Lovers (2008), infused in a delicate and strange atmosphere, suggest the suppression imposed on and experienced by women in and outside the home, or sexual harassment to which children and women are exposed. Through the process of appropriating images from various kinds of old design books and modifying them, the artist moderates the expressive nature of drawing and creates some sense of distance and objectivity. This cold neutralization of images objectifies an individual's particular experience or trauma, extending it to the social level. It also persuades the audience to recognize how intensively the violence in social units such as school and home is internalized.
Part-time Suite, who rent vacant spaces in urban areas for a month and create their own creative spaces, take a contrarian's approach and fling off the passive resignation that younger artists can enter the art world only by being selected. They not only constantly look for and entirely occupy urban transitory spaces but also present the language of the new generation through their lyrical and beautiful installations and performances. After their two projects during the past six months, Under Interior (in the basement of a building in Ahyeon-dong, Seoul) and Off-Off-Stage (in an unoccupied plot hidden near Gwanghwamun), they are going to show their third space and project, Loop the Loop: viewers should leave from Doosan Gallery with maps in their hands and go to Part-time Suite's space in the roof of an old building nearby. Since Doosan gallery is located in Jongro 5th, very traditional market area of center of Seoul, you can view the landscape of Korean urban construction from 60s to today. PTS's poetically performs over the edge of the rooptop, interfering over the grand development's landscpate of this area. This group of artists is converting the feeble position of youths drifting away, feeling stunned and bewildered by the possibility of creative life, and in this very sense, they are revealing a hope in own world.
The works of this exhibition disclose the reflective areas which can be drawn out of the drifting lives in society, and give an opportunity to consider the ambivalent and contradictory attributes of contemporary modernity that is still under formation through the tensions of different regional conditions in our global era. They also achieve an interesting complexity of gender formation that sublates the traditional gender hierarchy influenced by the domestic civil progress. Accordingly, this exhibition attempts to shed light on how the present of our society will be able to be reorganized and what complex process of modernity or contemporaneity found in the manifestation of the now-invisible subjects are undergoing. And what is required now is the search for ways to counterattack and reverse the 'possible presents' by discovering the many-sided beings. The position of excluded individuals and their different viewpoints strike back to the recently rebooting monotonous legacy of "development and growth." Now we meet the hidden adversaries who produce antagonistic narratives against the monstrosity of our society. The value of inoperativeness resonates here, while irregular perspectives reconstitute another modernity to come.

Whoopi Goldberg Returns to The View After Suspension for Holocaust Comment
Cailin Loesch
Two weeks after being suspended for asserting that the "Holocaust isn't about race," The View's Whoopi Goldberg is back in the moderator's seat.
"Hello, hello, hello and welcome to The View. And yes, I am back," Goldberg said as she sat alongside Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hoston, and guest host Ana Navarro on Monday.
"We missed you," Behar told Goldberg, to which she replied, "I missed you all too. I got to tell you, there's something kind of marvelous about being on a show like this because we are The View and this is what we do. Sometimes we don't do this as eloquently as we could."
Goldberg did not directly address the comment that resulted in her suspension, which came as she and her co-hosts discussed a Tennessee school board's ban of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Maus. The school board expressed concerns about profanity and female nudity in the book, which tells the story of author and illustrator Art Spiegelman's Polish-Jewish parents' experience during the Holocaust.
After Goldberg made the comment on air, she immediately faced backlash on social media, and responded with a statement and on-air apology on February 1st.
According to ABC News President Kim Godwin, Goldberg was suspended for her "wrong and hurtful comments," and was asked to "take time and reflect and learn about the impact of her comments."
As she continued the show's opening on Monday morning, Goldberg said, "It's five minutes to get in important information about topics and that's what we try to do every day. I want to thank everybody who reached out while I was away. People reached out from places that made me go, 'Wait, what, what, really?' And it was amazing."
"We're going to keep having tough conversations," she added. "And in part, because this is what we were hired to do. It's not always pretty as I said and it's not always what other people would like to hear, but it is an honor to sit at the table and be able to have these conversations because they're important. They're important to us as a nation and important to us more as a human entity."
Goldberg concluded, "So Happy Valentine's Day, y'all, and we're going to get started because that's what we do."

Easy and delicious pizza dough garlic knots bread, so easy and fun to bake this at home with the family!
Garlic knots using a store-bought pizza dough and garlic butter. Tasty and easy garlic knots recipe that anyone can make at home as a side dish.
Even since I saw the garlic knots on Just a Taste, I have been wanting to create those cutesy bread in my kitchen.
When it comes to baking, I like recipes that are simple to make, and hopefully with store-bought ingredients. This garlic knots recipe is exactly what I am looking for, using a pre-made frozen pizza dough that you can get at practically any grocery stores.
I have made these garlic knots three times and they were gone as soon as they were out of the oven. They are as addictive as my other favorite: Brazilian cheese bread.
Another thing that I love about this garlic knots recipe is that it was actually fun making them, especially the tie-the-knot step. The only tough part was rolling and stretching the dough, which was rather stiff even after thawing. The garlic-butter-olive oil-parsley mixture couldn't have been better—garlicky, buttery, and aromatic.
It worked like magic and made the plain tasting bread into something that I just couldn't stop eating.
Try this easy garlic knots recipe. I am sure you will like them as much as I do.
Divide the dough in half, keeping half covered under a kitchen towel. Roll out the other half on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin, creating a 10-inch square. If the dough is very stiff, use your hands to stretch it.
Cut the 10-inch square in half with a sharp knife or pizza wheel to form two rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 12 strips (the cuts should be made so that the strips are shorter and thicker, rather than longer and thinner).
Tie each strip into a knot and then arrange the knots on the lined baking sheets. Cover them with a kitchen towel while you repeat the rolling, cutting and tying process with the second half of the dough.
Bake the knots for 5 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
While knots bake, grate the garlic cloves using a Microplane and combine with olive oil and butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and mixture is warmed. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
Immediately after baking, brush the baked knots with the garlic mixture and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve warm.
If you wish to make everything from scratch, check out White on Rice Couple's recipe here.
Garlic knots are my single happiness-inducing snack that never fails!! love them..
LOL, I might have tied the knot wrongly that they look like holding hands. Hehe.
Never seen garlic knots before. We would love these.
Yeah, what's not to love: bread, garlic, and butter. Yummy.
Those look terrific! Bread and garlic, I'm in heaven.
And butter, and olive oil, and Italian parsley!
This look yummy..i will definitely do this for the weekend.
That's awesome, let me know how your garlic knots turn out.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my recipe for Garlic Knots. They look fantastic, and I can absolutely relate to the addiction factor. I couldn't bake them up fast enough!
You are so talented. These garlic knots looks so yummy!
I absoluetly love these garlic knots and make them all the time as well. One of the first recipes to go on my blog actually!
Just made these today and I have to say I am very very sad. I finish baking and left these out to cool while I ran out for an errand. I came back in half an hour and every last one was… gone. One of the guilty party was still chewing the last piece. I could smell the evidence on her breath. She smiled at me and laugh. Ah, my gluttonous little piggy.
Want to try this so bad but can't find any pizza dough at the shops!
I think so, let me know how your garlic knots turn out.
These look too yummy, must try soon!
I was looking for the actual recipe. Anybody can go to a store and buy the anything. What a waste of time. thanx for nothing.
The recipe is here: https://rasamalaysia.com/garlic-knots/2/. This recipe uses frozen pizza dough and then made into garlic knots. If you wish to make everything from scratch then you can follow the recipe here: http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/garlic-knots/ which I clearly provided in the recipe section as a reference.
you're recipes are starting to not be so good. bummer. and it is very obvious why.
AJ – what do you mean? This recipe was posted years ago. It's not a new recipe.
Only 10 minutes cooking time at 350? Are you sure you didn't mean 450? It's been 15 minutes plus and the knots still look pretty pale.
I do not know these ppl but, I feel like I should apologize to you on behalf of the MANY who love your site and recipes (which, if I may say, by far outweigh the "un-lovers")-(who knows, it's quite possible that the "un-lovers" were just having a bad day… ?).
I, for one, appreciate the time and effort you've clearly put in, providing both a "short-cut" method with the store bought pizza dough (genious! for when you're running slim on time or just not energized enough to take on the from scratch version), as well as, an all from scratch recipe.
Thanks Samone for your support. I really appreciate it.
These were delicious. I served it with home made chicken noodle soup. Perfect on a fall day. I made them with store bought dough this time but will try with my home made dough for sure next time! On a side note, I really do not understand why people think they can be so rude via the Internet. Criticism can be done in a constructive manner, not rudely as I just read in previous comments.
I made this tonight and I'm kind of sad. I followed the receipt to the T but for some reason they didn't plump up like the photo shows. I'm my sure what went wrong. Any advise?? Maybe the wrong pizza dough?
Hello. I tried to find the pizza dough but u fortunately it's not available in any groceries shop. Where did you get yours?
You can get it at Whole Foods or Trader's Joes.
Can you prep them ahead of time, maybe the day before? Then throw them on a pan and bake them the next day?
Hi Jeremy, yes, you can freeze the dough and thaw and bake, but I would just do it on the same day to get the best results.

I arrived at the Dayton International Airport....twice! Well, technically that's a lie. I almost arrived the first time. I could see the airport from my tiny window but we had mechanical issues and if we landed there would be no one to fix the problem, grounding the plane. So, we turned around and headed back to Chicago to switch planes. I eventually arrived in Dayton, almost 6 hours late. I was supposed to arrive at 2:00 ish and didn't get to my friend's house until sundown.
The weather wasn't too bad. It was overcast and wet, but not raining. There was a nice breeze and no real heat.
Ohio is full of interesting old farm houses and buildings. A lot have fallen in to disrepair. Gorgeous old brick homes with lots of character.
I took a quick road trip into Indiana. The border was only 10 minutes from my friend's house and the scenery didn't change much. Lots of open space, big farmhouses, and corn. I love this part of the country.
Midwest clouds are an everyday occurrence....a photographer's dream.
After a couple days of driving around the countryside and hanging out with friends it was time to catch a flight to St. Louis. I spent the next four days with my brother on an epic road trip through six states.
On the way to Richard's house I stopped in a little town and found the flood marker.
Missouri highways are spotless. There is no garbage anywhere. They mow the highway center divide every other week. I looks manicured and is really picture perfect. I wish California could take care of their roadways in the same fashion.
I never knew Missouri was so rocky. It looks like forest and farmland. It's not until you see where the State carved the highway through the landscape that you realize what is just below the surface.
I arrived at my brother's house without incident. I was concerned about St. Louis traffic issues because of the Ferguson riots. Ferguson is about 10 miles from the airport. Good thing I was going the other direction. St. Louis is disgustingly dirty and run down in most parts. I really didn't feel safe in the few places I went.
When I arrived at Richard's house he wanted to take a drive in the Country so I could see what it was like there. We drove out to one of our childhood friend's house where I was promptly bitten by mosquitoes.
Ugly bird - Turkin. They had me convinced that this was a cross bred Chicken/Turkey. Actually it is a real breed of chicken.....An ugly chicken.
On our first full day together we took a three hour drive to Hermann, an old German town with great character, awesome shops, and a Wurst Haus to make you cry. The smell was amazing. Hermann is known as the Napa of Missouri. There are wineries scattered every where. They are also know for their Octoberfest and Sweetie Pies - who serves bacon apple pie.
Richard at the Riverfront. Like with most towns in Missouri that sit on river, Hermann had a flood marker as well. Most of the town has flooded multiple times.
The next day we got up and out the door on our road trip. Driving from Missouri into Arkansas was ugly. It's not a nice thing to say but it looked a lot like the Merced area. It was dry (like California) with open fields and garbage on the side of the road..like central California. I took no pictures in this state. I literally could not find anything to take a picture of. We stopped at a gas station for something to drink and I instantly felt the heat. Being a sissy California girl did not prepare me for the wet hot of Arkansas. It literally took my breath away.
After not finding anything "purty" in Arkansas we cut across to Mississippi. Now that is a beautiful state. I said WOW a lot. Everything is so green. Unfortunately I didn't take that many pictures but the swamps were gorgeous. I'm sure if I would have gotten out of the car I would have been swarmed by mosquitos.
Once we got away from the bayou landscape it turned into country. Every 5-10 miles there were church signs. Richard and I both thought the tree on the left looked like a dog jumping up.
We originally thought about visiting Memphis. However, after arriving there and seeing the traffic and horrible road construction we decided to bypass it for a drive through the countryside.
I was not too impressed with that part of Tennessee.
Our neighbors, who own LewisportUSA, invited us to their British American Cup trial bike competition at the old Copper Mine in Copperopolis. Honestly, until we met them we had no idea this sport existed.
The weather was bi-polar, switching from cold wind and rain to warm sunshine. The weather and the terrain challenged the riders who were brave enough to come out. It also challenged our camera gear. The warm sun caused a lot of condensation and quite a few of Brian's pictures look hazy because of it. I gave Brian my Canon "big girl" camera and I used my new Nikon P900. I figured this was a great opportunity to challenge it and see how it performs. As I expected, it definitely wasn't very fast. I had a hard time getting use to the digital view finder. All in all, I can say that I'm happy with it and respect its limitations as an advanced point and shoot. I also love the 2,000mm optical zoom lens. I could stay out of the way and still get some great shots.
No rain delays in this sport.
It was fun watching everyone compete, through water, rock, dirt, mine ruins and RAIN. I met riders from all ages....some in elementary school and some in retirement. The copper mine has a very diverse terrain and perfect for this sport.
Yes, that is Brian! At this point he was wishing he brought a waterproof jacket.
The rain made it pretty slick. Copperopolis mud is mostly clay so some areas were basically a slip-n-slide.
As the rain fell it got deeper.
The more riders that went through the deeper the ruts got.
Inside part of the ruins.
The water was my favorite part. But, from what I've been told, it definitely was not the riders favorite part!

Home/News/R.Kelly Accused of Training Young Girl to Be His Sex "Pet" Since the Age of 14
R.Kelly Accused of Training Young Girl to Be His Sex "Pet" Since the Age of 14
Bee Tomlinson March 28, 2018 News Leave a comment
The Guardian reports that more sexual misconduct allegations have come to light about R&B hitmaker R. Kelly. After reports in July 2017 surfaced about the singer allegedly running a "sex cult," where he kept women hostage against their will and controlled their lives, the singer is now being accused of "training" a young girl to be his sex slave since she was 14 years old.
According to reports, in a BBC3 documentary set to air on March 28, a former girlfriend of the Chicago native named Kittie Jones claims that she was trained by Kelly to be his "pet", and forced to continuously have sex with him and others in his "sex dungeon."
"I was introduced to one of the girls, that he told me he 'trained' since she was 14—those were his words," Jones says. "I saw that she was dressed like me, that she was saying the things I'd say and her mannerisms were like mine. That's when it clicked in my head that he had been grooming me to become one of his pets. He calls them his pets."
Jones also mentions that Kelly made the woman "crawl on the floor towards me and perform oral sex on me, and he said, 'This is my fucking pet, I trained her. She's going to teach you how to be with me.'"
The new allegations align with previous reports from another alleged victim, Jerhonda Pace, who told the hosts of The Real that Kelly was running a "sex cult."
"The trainer, it's a woman—she trains you to please him sexually," Pace explained. "She told me how to please him, and she also taught me what I liked." Detailing her first encounter, Pace remembered, "I got invited to his tour bus. I went out to his tour bus and you have him naked and her naked, and I'm looking like, 'OK, what is this?' Because Rob[ert Kelly] is the one who took my virginity." Pace says Kelly told her not to worry, saying, "She's going to teach you everything you need to know."
"It's very frightening," Pace continued. "He would slap you in your face. He would physically harm you, and he would put you in a room, and he would lock you in a room for days."
In the past, Kelly denied all allegations. His team has not come forward to comment on these new allegations.

Sweetie, this is your mom. You're two years old now and I couldn't be more proud. I consider it to be my second birthday too, because when you were born in a way so was I. I was reborn as your mom, or as you know me mama, and it's been the best time of my life.
I promise to play more and clean less. I'll get on the floor with you and we can play roll the basketball under the couch as many times as you like. Sweeping can wait.
I promise that no matter how tired I am at the end of the day I will dance with you to the "Happy" song, over and over again. Because afterwards I am indeed Happy.
I promise to never let you go to bed without reading a bedtime story. Oh and I know that you're stalling when you ask me to read every book you own, it's okay I like spending time with you too.
I promise to go easy on the kale and let you have a cookie or two. I want you to learn early that life is about balance. Just eat a bit of broccoli for me every now and then, okay?
I promise to always foster your dreams no matter what they may be. You want to be a soccer playing, gymnast, flutist? Let's do it!!! Because you are my heart, my love.

OMG: Woman turns friend's wedding into her BABY ANNOUNCEMENT! #DRAMA
It's wedding season and that means there are no shortage of stories about demanding brides and today's episode comes from Reddit's forums. Reddit user Mira11 shares the tale of his cousin's wife getting revenge on her frenemy who ruined her wedding first. It all started at Emma's wedding reception, where bridesmaid Sarah decided to announce her engagement. And everyone knows that's just bad form!
The post explains that when bridesmaid Sarah made her big engagement announcement at the beginning of the party, bride Emma held it together and didn't make a scene. Apparently, that's because she had bigger plans for getting back at her spotlight stealer. Later, Sarah chose Emma to be her maid of honor at her nuptials and that's when she got her revenge.
The story goes that Emma swapped out the white flower petals in the flower girls' baskets with blue petals and never told the bride. Bride Sarah looked confused when she saw them, but blamed the wedding planner for the faux pas. At the reception, Emma was set to give her maid of honor speech in front of a screen showing photos of Sarah and her hubby and at the end, Emma tells Sarah she must be wondering about those blue petals. That's when she announces that she's five months pregnant and that it's a boy,which is the reason for the blue flower petals. She even showed her ultrasound photo for the last slide!
Her baby announcement got a big reaction from the crowd, but as you can imagine, Sarah was upset and had Emma kicked out of the reception! Most commenters agree that both women were out of line and that "two wrongs don't make a right."Sure, but they can be pretty entertaining.

What to expect from FX's 'American Horror Story: 1984'
by Ethan Jakob Craft | Sep 19, 2019 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Ad Age's Coming Attraction offers brief previews of TV shows, movies and more of interest to marketers and media people.
Tonight at 10 p.m. ET, FX's fan-favorite horror anthology series "American Horror Story" will kick off its ninth season, titled "1984"—a nightmarish string of episodes centering on a murder-prone summer camp that's more Reagan-era kitsch than Orwellian lunacy.
FX, as usual, has been pretty tight-lipped about the premiere, but viewers won't be going in completely blind, thanks in part to the bloody extended trailer (above) released on YouTube a few weeks ago. Seemingly inspired by slasher flicks of the era (think corny intra-camp love and knife-wielding killers), we know that "1984" stars Emma Roberts, marking her fifth "AHS" role, and Olympic medalist Gus Kenworthy, a series (and acting) newcomer, as they and their friends navigate a world of '80s nostalgia while being pursued by a hooded murderer.
"1984" will be the ninth unique "AHS" storyline in as many seasons, following other self-contained seasons such as "Murder House," "Asylum" and "Coven." Since its debut in 2011, the show has focused on everything from a circus freakshow in Florida to the Lost Colony of Roanoke, with creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk crafting each "AHS" season with a different plot and rotating cast to ensure all nine stories can stand alone.
"American Horror Story" has been renewed through at least its 10th season, set to debut in 2020.

Hi! I'm Jennifer, a graphic designer here on the Isle of Man.
I love to work with brands – businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to large corporate entities.
When I'm not designing you can find me out in the countryside walking my dogs or tucked away with a book!
How did Grose Design start?
Grose Design (pronounced Gr-oh-s …just think of 'gross') came about after further education and employed experience within different companies. Some of these companies were creative focused and others were very corporate environments, either way, office life wasn't for me. I wanted the freedom and flexibility to meet with clients, bounce ideas around and be a part of the design process. Explore different styles rather than follow instructions on how the final design needs to look.
Jennifer Grose Design opened for business in 2016, after the first year I formed Grose Design Limited. Shortly after my company was formed, I got married and was now Jennifer Wood! When it came down to business I decided to stick with Grose Design rather than using (the obvious option) 'Wood Design' to reflect my new surname.
My company is now continuing as Grose Design, to reflect my maiden name and the irony in the fact I take pride in my work and would never consider any designs I put out into the world as 'Gross'.

In this chapter we prove the main results as described in the introduction. To do so, we use results proved in previous chapters, and an additional new idea: The computation of Z(s,W) for W a Hecke eigenvector in a generic representation at the minimal paramodular level. The formula expresses Z(s,W) in terms of Hecke eigenvalues and W(1), and has multiple applications. One application is the completion of the proof of uniqueness at the minimal paramodular level and the computation of Hecke eigenvalues in the remaining open cases. Uniqueness was previously proved for non-supercuspidal representations; see Theorem 5.6.1. Another application is the computation of L(s, π) in terms of the basic invariants of the newform, namely the level, the Atkin– Lehner eigenvalue, and the Hecke eigenvalues; furthermore, this formula for L(s, π) for generic π motivates the formula for L(s, ϕπ) for non-generic π, where ϕπ is the L-parameter of π.

Hans Källner (Kattowitz, 9 de Outubro de 1898 - 18 de Abril de 1945) foi um general alemão durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial tendo comandado a 19ª Divisão Panzer.

História
Iniciou a sua carreira militar como sendo um oficial cadete em 1914, no Jäger-Regiment 11 sendo condecorado com a Cruz de Ferro e acabou encerrando a Primeira Guerra Mundial (1914-18) com a patente de Leutnant numa unidade de artilharia.

Após o armistício de 1918, ele saiu do Exército e entrou para a polícia de Potsdam em 1920, sendo promovido para Hauptmann em 1929. Se realistou no ano de 1935 com a patente de Rittmeister e entrou para o Reiter-Regiment 4. Em 1937 foi promovido para Major e se tornou Kommandeur do II. Abteilung no Kavallerie-Regiment 4 tendo se tornado Oberstleutnant e Kommandeur do Aufklärungsabteilung 11 no início da Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Com o início da Campanha Francesa se tornou comandante do Schützen-Regiment 73. Em 1941, Källner foi condecorado com a Cruz Germânica em Ouro e após os combates do Inverno de 1941/42 foi promovido para Oberst em 1 de Março de 1942 e em Julho de 1942 assumiu o comando do 19. Panzergrenadier-Brigade (1 de Julho de 1942) da 19ª Divisão Panzer.

Foi condecorado com a Cruz de Cavaleiro da Cruz de Ferro no dia 3 de Maio de 1942 e em Agosto de 1943 Källner assumiu o comando da 19ª Divisão Panzer. Após comandar a 19ª, Källner foi colocado no comando do XXIV Corpo Panzer.

Hans Källner foi morto em ação no dia 18 de Abril de 1945 aos 46 anos de idade, estando apenas a algumas semanas do final do conflito.

Q: Iteration and Vectorization return different results I am trying to vectorize the Brown function, which is evaluated over the range (-1,4). S (vectorized) and sigma (iterative) should therefore be equal, which they are for most input arrays I have tested, i.e. the commented a, but not for the uncommented a, where the difference is quite large (-40960). Since the function implementations are equivalent as far as I know, I cannot figure out why the results are different. Any help would be much appreciated!

The District Courts in every district and outlying courts in some of Tehsil Headquarters in the State of Uttarakhand are established by the State Government in consultation with the High Court, taking into account the number of cases, topography of the place and population distribution in the district. There are three tier systems of courts functioning at the district level. These district courts at various levels administer justice in Uttarakhand under administrative and supervisory control of the High Court of the State. The highest court in each district is that of the District and Sessions Judge. This is the principal court of civil jurisdiction, which derives its jurisdiction in civil matters, like other civil courts of the state, primarily from The Bengal, Agra and Assam Civil Courts Act, 1887.

Ni, Siyuan (2015) Abnormal Returns to Rival Firms of Initial Takeover Target. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
In this paper I study the abnormal returns of different subsample of rival firms of takeover targets at their takeover announcement. Using latest data from 1990 to 2013, I confirm that rival firms earn positive and significant returns over target announcement period. Furthermore, after dividing the rivals into large rival portfolio and small rival portfolio, results show that the positive abnormal return is primarily earned by large rivals rather than small rivals. It is consistent with the hypothesis that large rival firms in the industry are expected to benefit more in the event of initial takeover, and large rivals are expected to become more competitive after initial merger, compared to relatively smaller rivals.
