The number of licences for 'small weapons' in Germany rose by 21,000 over the month of January, pushing the total number of papers held across the Federal Republic to 301,000.
The declaration of small weapon licences comes after a request by a Green Party member of parliament, who criticised German citizens' decisions to invest in self defence as provocative. Green politician, security committee member, and former policewoman Irene Mihalic acknowledged the change was because of growing insecurity felt by the Germany people, reports Frankfurter Allgemeine, and said:
"Imagine that during major event like a carnival, if people acted rashly a weapon might only provoke chaos and violence… when more and more people carry weapons, it is more likely to contribute to escalation than calm situations".
The small arms licences being issued now in such great number only cover firearms such as blank firing pistols, and deterrent self-defence pistols.

Bye, Bye, Bangs…Biebs Gets New 'Do
Hold the phones. Flip your hair one more time. Brace yourself. Justin Bieber… got a haircut.
The 16-year old pop singer has risen to superstardom at least in small part thanks to his signature hair style, that shaggy, front-flipping dirty blonde 'do. And now, the flip has been trimmed.
Bieber unveiled his new haircut on TMZ Live on Monday afternoon, providing during and after images that may make teenager girls cry. And teenage guys go out and have to get new haircuts.
His explanation?
"I just wanted a kind of a change, I didn't want to cut it all off, but I had had it for 3 1/2 years, I had just gotten sick of it, it was in my eyes, I didn't want it in my face, I just wanted to change it up."
It was his regular stylist, Vanessa, who did the scissoring on the set of his new music video with Rascal Flatts, sheering even shorter the trimmed job he got earlier in February.
If you're worried about your daughter, Bieber tried to calm the situation down: "my fans will get used to it," he said.

POLICE were called to supervise a stand-off between an animal sanctuary owner and security staff after she returned to her property for the first time since she was evicted last week.
Paula Campbell, 47, visited Milkup Bank Farm, at Willington, County Durham, five days after her eviction which saw bailiffs move in to repossess the property on behalf of the mortgage company.
She was one of ten people who walked to what was previously run by Ms Campbell as the Rainbow Ark Animal Sanctuary.
Loading article content
The group split in two with one party approaching from the front of the sanctuary and the other from the rear.
They found security staff guarding the property along with a number of people looking after the animals, which were left behind after Ms Campbell was evicted.
Ms Campbell claimed she was using a right of way to cross land surrounding Milkup Bank Farm and the group were using that route.
After approaching the property she and daughter Jayne Campbell remonstrated with those already in attendance at the farm.
A stand-off developed and around seven Durham Police officers in five patrol cars arrived shortly afterwards
Ms Campbell, who founded the sanctuary at the farm, which was also her home, had to comfort her daughter at one stage as she burst into tears.
She said: "We were going through the property for a walk on a public footpath.
"I am really concerned about the animals up there. We are fighting back and we are not walking away from this quietly."
There had been concerns that security staff had stopped people from using the public right of way.
One of the walkers with Ms Campbell, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I came down to walk my dogs on the public right of way twice on Saturday.
"I was stopped but I said you don't touch me and carried on walking."
PC Simon Schofield, of Willington Community Beat, who attended Milkup Bank Farm, said: "The police are here to check that there is no breach of the peace.
"If they keep to the footpath and don't interfere with the animals then we won't interfere."
The fundraising Save the Animals of Rainbow Ark campaign set up by Ms Campbell's friend Rachel Sharp has so collected £40,708.
Ms Campbell said: "People have donated to help the animals at the sanctuary and one hundred per cent of the money raised will go towards helping the animals."
She refuted claims from the RSPCA that the animal charity could have done more to help if it had known of the problems in advance.
Ms Campbell said: "I don't think that it's a valid point. I have put appeals out over the years and the RSPCA has not stepped up to the mark to help out."
No-one from the firm providing the staff staying at the farm presently was available to comment.

A last look

Cambodia - Temples, Books, Films and ruminations...by Andy Brouwer
Labels: Silver Pagoda
is the Angkor Wat model on display at the Royal Palace more impressive than that of Wat Phra Keo in Bangkok? - Chan
Chan, good question. I don't honestly know. its been 15 years since I saw the Angkor Wat on display in Bangkok.
But as its at the Cambodian Royal Palace, of course it must be more impressive, right?
i believe the main figure is of king Monivong another one of the Sisowaths. Its his signature haircut.
Concerning King Norodom's equestrian statue, do you have any contemporary documentation stating that the horse (and the body) was originally made for Napoleon III? Any info on how it ended up in PP? And from what I understand, it was inaugurated in 1876, not 1892.
Steve Boswell
Hi Steve, as my comment suggests: An equestrian statue of King Norodom, completed in 1875 and unveiled in 1892. Believed to have actually began life as a statue of French Emperor Napoleon III.
I don't have any documentation aside from this which I gleaned from a history book of the Royal Palace. The Palace would be your best bet to find out more detailed information about this.

"I'm not a gourmand, but I was very impressed with this place!"5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 24, 2016
I was actually looking for another restaurant when I stumbled onto Paris Bangkok; since I was lost and tired of looking, I said "why not?" and went it. It was early in the evening, about 6 PM-- and literally only one other patron was there. I was suspicious.... But the staff was very friendly, I was greeted me with a smile, showed to a table, and soon the large wait staff began to show up. I was delighted with the wine (house red, a Cote du Rhone, and I loved it), as well as the complementary appetizer. My order of fish soup arrived in due time-- served with all the proper trimmings, very delicious, and then a very large salmon entrée with excellent vegetables accompanying was brought. The bread of course was French. While I am hardly an expert on French cuisine (or any for that matter), I was very impressed! Throughout the table service by the young serving girls was professional, and the presentation of the bill was efficient (and I should note that I was OK with the mandatory 10% service charge-- well deserved). So, I left as a delighted new customer. I would recommend this restaurant to any and all.

"French restaurant, but no French taste!"3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2016
A fair sized restaurant which has a mix of western style steak house and French restaurant over it. The place was roughly 2/3 full. Busy, but not overly so. As a starter we had the frog legs. Four nice pieces, but hardly any taste. Given the primary taste would normally be garlic that was a bit of a disappointment. For our main course we the cod and the grilled salmon. Both were cooked just as they should, but again the taste was very neutral. The veggies a little over-cooked for our taste. The prices were low compared to many other restaurants. Low prices and little taste may go hand in hand? Not worth a secind visit!

Having taken advantage of their excellent lunch offering in the past, we wanted to experience dinner and we weren't disappointed! We skipped the 3-course set dinner (excellent value as others have said) and chose 3 appetizers (escargots, tuna céviché, homemade lobster bisque) and 2 mains (steak tartare - made to our liking at the table, and the trout meunière - delectable!), followed by the cheese plate and finally the molten chocolate cake à la mode to finish. Wonderful!! We had drinks to start (reasonably priced, especially considering comparable restaurants or the inflated alcohol tax in Thailand) and we brought a bottle of wine with us, since there was no corkage fee. However, a quick glance at the wine menu and there were many reasonable options on offer, again a welcome option. Service was friendly and attentive and the maître d' was helpful, engaging and checked-in with us throughout the dinner - very personable. Take a look at their website to see what specials are on or for more details on their menu. You really won't be disappointed. All in all, delicious food and a lovely evening. We'll definitely be going back.

"Never overlook little restaurants down quiet side streets in Bangkok"5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2014
We visited the Paris Bangkok restaurant in Silom Bangkok twice. All I can say is that it was a marvelous find. I had a great snail entre followed by a beef filet with Morel mushrooms and potato stuffed with Truffle paste. The dishes were reasonably priced and beautifully presented and served. However, while we found a great wine to match the meal it was excessively priced. This was a problem encountered throughout Bangkok. It was not a problem caused by avarice on the part of the restaurateur, but rather a product of over-zealous Thai tax laws. My wife enjoyed a Tuna Ceviche entre - which was to die for - and tucked into a Whole French Trout Meuniere. Everything was fantastic from food; to décor; to service; to bonhomie from Danny the Manager. This is a great little restaurant and well worth spending a night at. For us it was about $100 AUS each but worth every cent of that price. We could have ate out and spent a couple of dollars each at a road-side stall.... but service, cuisine and atmosphere really made it worth going back to twice. Well done Danny....

To be honest we had been a little diapointed this time.they had no oysters at all !!!The fresh foi gras is good and the fillet mignon was top quality tender from Margaret River Australia ! The beef carpaccio was ok , but the cheap quality of the parmesan cheese used was spoiling the gourmet experience totally. The seabass was over cooked and dry and not pleasant in taste & the pan seared baracuda was the same. The expensive recommended wines were not at all our taste ( too much acidity for a THB 2500.- wine )We recommend though the oysters we had the first time and the fillet mignon for two people.

I went there with my family to try out the place for the first time. The dining room was a bit deserted at 7:00pm, so I was a little worried at first. Guests starting filtering in through the night but it was never packed. Started off with a bottle of wine and their bread. We really enjoyed the bread. The butter given was not too cold so it was easy to spread as well. We started with salad nicoise and frog legs. For the main courses we ordered the Tajima wagyu rib eye, baby scallops, and duck. The salad was good. The frog legs were awesome. We ordered the beef to be cooked between medium rare and medium due to it's size. We had a 1.4kg steak. I normally eat my steak medium rare and would suggest medium rare. I did have a small piece of steak more on the rare side and it was delicious. The baby scallops and duck were also good. Half way through, we ordered another bottle of wine. The second bottle was better. We also ordered a plate of brie. For dessert, we had the chocolate mouse, the two chocolate cake, and some coffee. The mouse and cake were very good. The coffee wasn't anything special. We did ask to see the chef to compliment him on his food, but he was on a break. The staff for the most part was very attentive, but I did have to ask to have my glass refilled once or twice. It wasn't overly expensive considering the cuisine and area. Overall, a wonderful night with fantastic food. We will definitely be returning.

have tried hundreds of restaurants in Bangkok and can say that this is one of the best price/quality ratio I have found. As some people said, the place is a little bit difficult to find. Once you get there, it will be easy to come back, and you will want to. Just go to Saladaeng soi 1 from Silom, then turn left when you see a big road, and you're there in 2 minutes, if you open your eyes you cannot miss the sign. What cannot be expected from outside is that the place is really beautiful and nice decorated. Huge dinner place, smoking lounge, private spaces. Thai staffs are polite, and unless you ask too much, you cannot feel uncomfortable. The menu is rich, from ground to ocean : blue lobster, special french crab, mussels and french fries, oysters, trout, duck, Chateaubriand beef, bourguignon, foie gras, tartar, or even raclette. Loved the mussels which come with a Leffe bier for a ridiculous price : 460THB for 1/2kg of mussels + enough french fries + bier. A place to try and I will definitively come back.

The Frog legs was nice if a little rubbery, the escargot was average. Foie Gras was nicely done and the scallops was a little tough. For mains we had the duck breast(asked for it to be medium well but turn out to be more like medium rare), Beef tenderloin ( average), Cod fish in a curry sauce (not bad even if it sounds a strange combination) and the Rib-eye steak(again not cooked as requested).

"First class French"5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2012
I love this restaurant. The ambiance is quirky Thai-French Waiting staff are friendly and attentive and the owner/manger is on hand to greet guests, make menu recommendations and ensure everything is as it should be. Classic French dishes make up the menu and the wine list is extensive and includes some very good value for money French Grand Cru wines. The chateaubriand (for 2) is to die for! Fresh oysters (a number of varieties) are a great starter. When you are in the mood for some great French food, give this place a try- you won't be disappointed.

"A very pleasant surprise tucked away in a Bangkok back street"4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012
The menu was quite traditional, with a reasonable range. The selection of wines and non-alcoholic drinks was also good. All diners enjoyed their main meals (duck breast, steak tartare, duck confit and steak) and desserts (oeufe a la neige, sorbet and a crispy tart). With a nice glass or two of French red, a champagne cocktail and several fruit cocktails and Irish coffees, the bill was most acceptable at less than 6,000 baht. Service was also very pleasant, the ambience good and the owner friendly. I would happily go back!
"Real French food in a very beautiful setting and top price/quality ratio!"5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
I had dinner with my wife at "Paris-Bangkok" during a special occasion. I had no idea about this Restaurant and I selected it only from it's web site and the Tripadvisor reviews. As you can see in my profile I am judging the hotels and restaurants I go on a relative basis and you can see that I am not giving easily the "5 points", but I think that on the basis of Bangkok scene of European (not only French) cuisine, the price/quality ratio of "Paris-Bangkok" and the very good food there it really deserves a 5. We had the "Menu Gourmet" in al its variations since I and my wife choose different dishes. All items in the menu were very well cooked/prepared, very well served and the real flavour of the French cuisine was there. The only think that was a bit "strange" was the very acid sauce in the "Foie gras salad"; I think that the raspberry vinegar was too much especially paired with the foie gras and the black truffle. The rib eye was perfectly cooked and I think that it is the first time in Bangkok that I ordered a medium-rare rib eye and I got a real medium-rare one. The accompanying "truffled potatoes" was simply perfect; even my wife who doesn't like potatoes choose to take a bit of it as the last savoury taste before the dessert. The salmon was also perfectly cooked, all the way but still juicy and full of flavour. Again the paring with the risotto was perfect combination and the seafood jus was the factor that made the perfect much. Desserts were mouth- watering and served in a very nice way. Add to this very good taste a very reasonable priced wine list (only fault was that the red wines were not available at the year indicated in the menu), a perfect service and you have a very good dinning experience. Another big plus of the place is that before your dessert (or at any time during your meal) you can move to the lounge and enjoy a cigarette or cigar. We had a chat with the owner (Dany) and we liked very much his style and approach for his Restaurant. We congratulated the chef (who doesn't like that his name is mentioned, as the owner told us) and we are sure that we will go back to taste the rest of the menu. After we left we were thinking that at this price in Bangkok the best alternative of good European food that you can get is a good pizza and that's all. So Paris-Bangkok has by far one of the best price/quality ratio of all European restaurants in Bangkok. If you are living in Bangkok and you like French food do not miss it; if you are travelling in Bangkok and you are tired of Thai food then this might be the best option for you too! (but to get tired of Thai food might be difficult; I am just thinking that it took us almost 2 years in Thailand before starting to try anything else but Thai food) Highly recommended!

French food in Bangkok is always the most expensive cuisine, but Paris Bangkok shows that it doesn't have to be that way to be good and authentic. The decor is comfortable and upscale enough for a date or business lunch, but the prices are lower than a normal Italian pizza restaurant. The menu has a lot of typical regional favorites like duck confit and foie gras, and some special things too like Rouannaise pressed duck for just 885 baht. The imported French lamb was under 1000 baht, and the Angus rib eye steak from Australia was 620 baht, which is less than anywhere in Bangkok. Also the wine bottles start at about 1000 baht (for appellation-grade Cotes du Rhone) and there's no corkage! Simply put, a full dinner at Paris Bangkok costs about 25-40% less than a comparable French restaurant in Bangkok, with no sacrifice in food quality. Also it's the only place in Bangkok you can still smoke indoors (there's a ventilated lounge to one side.) Highly recommended.

My friends and i went to Paris-Bangkok last week, 5 of us, first i must admit that the decoration is stunning, we are in Bangkok and so many restaurants offer nice layout, but this one is particularly well done. The colors are warms and you immediately feel comfortable. Both the main room and the patio have their charms but we joined the crowd and stay for almost 4 hours ( thanks to the great armchairs). We all went for different dishes and cannot recall all but everyone agree to say that the starters are really nice and the meat is great. I personally took the Angus beef and once you have tried you are hooked. Our waitress was Nok an she was really helpful and knows what is talking about, behind her stands this refined gentleman Bruno, we had a quick chat and he is really a professional, no doubt he knows about wine and quality food. Sorry i did not meet yet the Chef but but based on what we have eaten he for sure stands high and clear with the others. I will for sure come back with my wife and kid soon. Christian my friend told me that he will consider the Paris-Bangkok for his birthday they have a private room next to the patio that can accommodate certainly 30 people. Jean

I went to this place when they open and it was so so, now, this is another world, as a French, i always look for true French cuisine on a reasonnable budget. I have to say that this place is the perfect combination of high quality food for a very reasonnable price. We were greated by Thai staff with a bonjour which was very pleasant then the French manager took us to the bar where we enjoyed a Belgium draft beer and a plate of Pata Negra fresly cut from the whole ham displayed in front of us ! From the bar, we were attracted by their tanks, specially the one with canadian lobster, my client ordered one thermidor and was invited to choose it and even take himself, it was a very funny experience and it's a good idea to offer this. The manager Bruno ask us if we knew that you can make a lobster sleeping !!! We laugh at the beginning then he took the lobster head down, slowly touch its head from top to bottom and the lobster went to sleep, incredible, they have a video on youtube, just search for paris bangkok lobster. I had the house made foie gras au torchon, it's melt in the mouth and very very tasty, they serve it with special brioche homemade, it's very uncommon and usually done in gastronomic restaurant, no wonder, the chef use to work in 2 and 3 macarons restaurant ! My client choose a ceviche tuna, salmon and avocado, it was served in a martini glass but presentation is not the only nice point, it's look very refreshing and was delicious. Our main course keep the same level, the lobster thermidor was not too cheesy neither creamy, well balanced and cooked perfectly. I had the cote de boeuf with my collegue, they use black angus beef, cooked rare as we ask, the meat was very juicy, aged, we choose mashed potatoes flavored with truffle, nothing to say, perfect, we cant finish it's 1.2 kg so they pack the rest in specially made container and recommand us to eat it cold the next day with a mayonnaise they did specially for this. The cote the boeuf for 2 (or even 3 ) is priced at 2,200 baht which is very cheap compared to ofther place in town. The manager didn't push for expensive wine but recommand a cote du rhone gigondas at 1,500 baht so we ordered 2 bottles, i highly recommand this choice, there no need to spend more and it's really matching with meat. I cant comment on dessert as didn't have any but we the manager give a nice slide of Aged Cantal for free !!! it was to finish our wine he said ! We end up at the lounge, my client took a nice cognac and i was invited to taste their mojito which is made with agricole rhum from martinique, not only good but generously served, you really feel the rhum, forget hotels or other place where you cant feel the cheap havana rhum , 2 mojito were more than enough. Their choice of cigar is nice and inexpensive, i had a montecristo churchill for 750 baht. Overall, the level is very high on every point but the bill is choking the positive way, for all of this, we spent 8000 baht for 3 persons, with foie gras, cote de boeuf, pata negra ham, lobster, cigars, aperitifs, digestifs, for this kind of place ( i forgot to mentionne the place has a very strong identity and character ). I wish all restaurants to learn from this place specially on value for money, from now and as a frequent traveller to Bangkok, it will be hard for me to go to another French restaurant in Bangkok ! Definitely a must try ! Long life and sucess to Paris Bangkok and warm thanks to the manager Bruno and the chef Eloi !

"Average French restaurant in Bangkok"3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010
Initially, enthused by some good reviews and the great value for money this restaurant seemed to offer, we made a reservation with high expectations. After having dined here twice now I can safely say that the food in this restaurant is very inconsistent, varying from inedible to pretty good. To start with the good; the meat, I had both tartare and steak here, was excellent and prepared to my liking. The wine is also very reasonable for Bangkok. Last time we enjoyed a good Costieres de Nimes here for 1300 baht. However, a lot of the other dishes were average at best. The Coq au vin, proudly advertised on their site, was overcooked and stringy The charcuterie was not French at all as it contained very poor quality mortadella and salami; a very disappointing platter for a restaurant that prides itself on its meat dishes. The 20 grams of chevre in the goat's cheese salad masqued by a sickeningly sweet dressing and the creme caramel was a thin layer of sugar with literally 1 mm of cream underneath. We sent the last dish back and got comped, so that was good, but all the disappointing dishes still left a bad flavour in our mouths, which was only exacerbated by the cigar smoke in the main dining area. It is incomprehensible why this airconditioned restaurant allows guests to smoke inside, banishing the non smokers to a charmless corner with glass walls; this is preposterous and actually against the law in Thailand. All in all, I don't think I will be coming back to this restaurant. Fortunately, there are better French places to be found in BAngkok.
