Pati Jinich teaches the ins and outs of documenting recipes If you’re a fervent home cook with a stellar repertoire friends have probably begged for that famous mac and cheese recipe or your extra-special secret to the best chicken soup But have you ever considered actually gathering your collection of worn recipe cards and assembling them into a real cookbook There are plenty of reasons to try it: You can preserve family favorites as an heirloom for your loved ones you can hard-launch a self-publishing journey You can draw on your own experience in the kitchen or go out into the world to learn about new-to-you cuisines But you may be wondering how to actually do the thing: formulating and testing recipes developing your own culinary point of view and even telling stories about the dishes you love so she was brimming with practical advice for beginners We went over her top tips for getting started Pati Jinich: I really wish that somebody had given me a manual before I did the pitches for all my cookbooks. The pitch for my first cookbook was rejected 39 times — and I consider my first cookbook to have been very successful and I feel like if I had known everything that I know now it would’ve made the process so much easier.  How did you get it in the stores?” And what about people that want to preserve their family recipes What about people that want to preserve their recipes from their communities I really put down everything I learned in regards to putting together a cookbook and getting it out in the world.  I remember when I was pitching my first cookbook about Mexican food “There’s already too many Mexican cookbooks out there You have to know what sets yours apart.”  What I was really passionate about was Mexican home cooking I saw many of the Mexican cookbooks that existed out there and it didn’t feel like the food that I knew to be true Mexican There were quite a few cookbooks out there for Mexican cooking that were punishing in tone: “If you can’t get these chiles from the mountain then you’re not going to be making true Mexican food.” I’d rather you make enchiladas at home farmer’s cheese or a mild feta will do I’d rather you make new things in your kitchen and get acquainted with Mexican cooking I think that’s really instilled in How To Write a Cookbook — you have to be true to yourself and what you’re passionate about It needs to be something that you’re almost obsessed with that you want to share with the world It can be as defined and specialized as you want It’s not about what people expect you to do or want you to do You want to have a clear vision because if not Then I walk people through what they want to do with their book Is it something that you want to do because you want to sell it And then it goes from the big idea to step by step You need an idea of how big it’s going to be It’s important these days to tell stories with the recipes You don’t want to get a cookbook that gives you no background I recommend that you make a recipe list before you get started Say you want to do a book on Greek cooking and you really want it to be balanced But once you start writing all the recipes you realize you have too many chicken recipes in there “Do I want to write a cookbook about Greek chicken recipes?” And if not then you need to take out some of the chicken and do more vegetables you’ll look at the balance of what you have I tell people some tips and tricks on how to test Many times when I’m testing a recipe I will already visualize three ways of making it You’re also testing multiple methods so that you don’t have to start from scratch every single time I test my recipes two to three times — though sometimes it takes me more like eight to 10 tries until I know I’ve nailed it But even if I’m very happy with the results from the first or second try I will do it again to make sure that it works Then I’ll ask friends or family to test the recipe You always need other people’s eyes and kitchens because your kitchen is not universal You may be in Colorado where there’s a different altitude “Do people need specific tools to make whatever it is that you’re going to recommend Do they need basic staples or ingredients?” And increasingly If you’re writing these for your family I’m inviting people to go deeper so that whatever it is they make will be an heirloom for their community I have a whole section devoted to publishing I help you decide if you want to self-publish or if you want to find a publisher you need to have critical eyes and a group of people that will give you honest feedback When you want to publish through a publisher and have it be sold out in the world you have a partner that’s going to be very tough because they’re not going to waste their time or money So they’re going to really push you to do your best which ultimately is the best thing for the cookbook.  But when you’re self-publishing and you’re sharing with your friends or family People are not going to want to hurt your feelings you’re going to have a cookbook that’s not as good [as it could have been].  the most important thing to know is that you have one shot People in the publishing world all know each other I give you specific details on what the pitch should have You have to say how your product is different from what exists in the market Sign up here to jumpstart your mornings with Katie's

Copyright © Arizona Board of Regents Verdi’s Rigoletto returned to the Metropolitan Opera on Monday with a fresh cast under the baton of Daniele Callegari The performance featured the house debut of tenor Pene Pati as the Duke of Mantua The role has been his calling card in opera houses worldwide and it is easy to see why from this performance Bartlett Sher’s Weimar-inspired production is compact and efficient especially the switch from the Duke’s palace to the streets of Mantua Men in dashing military uniforms and women in glittering gowns bring glamour to the Duke’s court The premature appearance of Gilda in the tavern in Act III is still puzzling but that’s the only time in the entire production where Sher has the audience guessing Pati was born in Samoa and raised in New Zealand and his exuberant stage presence suits the high-spirited First impressions matter and Pati got off to a sterling start with “Questa o quella,” which he sang with style His “È il sol dell’anima,” where he convinced Erin Morley’s Gilda of his love was equally winning with playfulness and joy radiating from his entire countenance He would later smack his lips when he learned that Gilda was being held captive in his palace.  fueled no doubt by a combination of adrenaline and the audience’s embrace The result was climatic phrases that didn’t always take flight and the occasional strangulated high note first heard in “Parmi veder le lagrime.” Pati’s otherwise impressive “La donna è mobile” also fell victim to his over-eagerness in the final measures Pati has a voice of gold and undeniable charisma a combination tailor-made for success once he gets his exuberance under control.  her pristine soprano conveying innocence and love in equal measure Her Gilda staggered as if hit by a lightning bolt when she heard the Duke’s voice singing outside the house where she lives with her father Rigoletto The warmth and passion of Morley’s soprano in the duet with the Duke that followed was eclipsed by the innocence and wonder of her love for him expressed in an exquisite “Caro nome” with her bell-like tones carrying through the house effortlessly The emotional high points of the performance were her duets with Luca Salsi’s towering Rigoletto Salsi’s jester was a malevolent figure whose voice alternately thundered and cajoled the courtiers with insults and slurs Salsi revealed Rigoletto’s humanity in the tenderly sung passages with his daughter and the jester’s fears and insecurities through his haunting reflections on the implications of Monterone’s curse Salsi’s voice erupted in rage in “Cortigiani vil razza dannata,” as he demanded the release of his daughter and then dripped with tears as he was reduced to pleading that she be returned to him The rare mezzo-soprano who manages to appear as sexy as she sounds Soloman Howard reprised his menacing Sparafucile with the bass’s cavernous low notes sending shivers down one’s spine Eve Gigliotti also had her star turn as a duplicitous Giovanna who slammed the door as she fled the scene of Gilda’s abduction under her less-than-watchful eye.  Blake Denson’s forceful Monterone again stalked the stage with venom and vengeance present in his voice and visage Soprano Tessa McQueen and baritone Yeongtaek Yang both participants in the Met’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program made their house debuts with confidence and style and the Met Orchestra instilled passion and drama into the music The energy that they generated was palatable and certainly a factor in Pati’s performance taking flight Callegari is a master of supporting the voice transparent sound from the orchestra to cushion Morley’s light as he was in creating a column of sound that supported yet never overwhelmed Salsi’s baritone as he exploded in fury or despair Rigoletto runs through January 24 with the current cast; Michael Chioldi sings the title role in the final performance. metopera.org Posted Jan 08, 2025 at 1:07 pm by Esteban “Strangulated high note” is just a generous euphemism to describe what was really a disaster Erin Morley couldn’t be heard most of the time her “pristine soprano” was simply inaudible This is what you get these days at the Met under Peter Gelb’s reign Posted Jan 12, 2025 at 11:57 am by Mark Pati cracked twice in the performance I attended and his high notes were thin and

however, her newest series, “Pati Jinich Explores PanAmericana” dispels any of those ideas nearly immediately they were putting a reindeer sausage inside of a flour tortilla with ketchup and calling it a burrito,” Jinich said of one scene from an episode in the new season “If you had told me that I would [be served that] This gets to the heart of what Jinich’s show is about and why it is a slight departure from her more cooking-focused programs In “Pati Jinich Explores PanAmericana,” Jinich looks to tell the stories of those who came here from elsewhere As the granddaughter of Polish refugees who escaped pogroms and the Holocaust Americans and others who had a tough road to freedom matters a lot to her “My hope [with this show] was to take my personal connection [of] being a Mexican immigrant in the U.S and coming from a long line of refugees to connecting with peoples in the Americas that have these [same] stories,” she said a fact abundantly clear to this day thanks to her thick accent Her father’s parents were Polish farmers who fled pogroms and ended up in Mexico while her mother’s parents came later in an attempt to escape the Holocaust Both sets of Eastern Europeans ended up in Mexico Jinich was raised with an appreciation for Jewish and Ashkenazi culture She said that a beautiful struggle comes from people being displaced from their homeland and it often yields little moments that the show aims to highlight Jinich met with other Eastern European refugees who came to North America much later than her family but for similar reasons “We were meeting with some Ukrainian families in Edmonton and the newcomers who have come fleeing the war realized that there were Ukrainian families from three generations ago that were making dumplings and singing songs that had been banned in Ukraine under the Communist rule,” she said Jinich lives in Chevy Chase now and is based professionally in the D.C the job demands that she is always on and always moving Jinich said that some might not realize how much work it is to create a program like this “I come back home after these filming trips and I am completely exhausted,” she said “I am drained from really opening up and connecting so much but mostly I feel a deep responsibility to do right by their trust.” Jinich shared a number of touching examples from her time in Alaska which was highlighted in the first episode of the show woman who had worked in law enforcement for two decades told Jinich about her change to charity work “She said she realized that [she] was just putting her own people in jail “She got out of the system and now she has a nonprofit where she’s helping people start businesses that have to do with their culture.” These connections are often forged via food but that eating together serves as a jumping off point Jinich loves nothing more than a good bagel — except a good bialy bialys formed an exemplary anecdote for Jinich “I used to eat bialys with my Polish grandfather in Mexico City when I was really young we would eat them with cheese and sometimes some mashed avocado I was sitting there [in Alaska] eating the most perfect bialys … overlooking the mountains,” she said “I was just thinking about if my grandfather were alive and I were to tell him that I am taking a bite of a bialy in Alaska with a man whose [grandfather] comes from the town next to my grandfather’s town … we could have been neighbors in Poland.” and moments like this remind her of the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving Jewish history [email protected] Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Several villages in Pati Regency, Central Java, have many attractive tourist destinations, including Bakaran Wetan Village, Dukutalit Village, and Kedung Pancing Village.  Bakaran Wetan Village boasts cultural tourist attractions such as the Nyai Ageng Sabirah shrine, the Ki Dalang Soponyono site, and the Sudewi batik museum.  In Dukutalit Village, the strengths and potential of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) range from smoked milkfish to being a center for brass crafts. Meanwhile, in Kedung Pancing, there is Silugonggo River trekking, which tourists can enjoy. This was stated by Najla Aliyah, one of the UGM students taking the Community Service Program (KKN-PPM) in Pati, when receiving a visit from the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs, Community Service, and Alumni, Dr. Arie Sujito, and a team of UGM Senate members in the regency, Tuesday (8/8). Aliyah explained that the tourism potential in these three villages could be a significant opportunity for each community to improve their economy.  According to her, one of the programs carried out by KKN students is to create a tourism map and optimize the community’s awareness of tourism while also developing culinary products from smoked milkfish and batik handicrafts.  “We aim to create main job opportunities in the informal sector for local people, especially women,” she said. In Kedung Pancing Village, Ahmad Taqiyudin, another member of the Pati unit, mentioned that students created a map of flood-prone areas in the hopes that necessary information related to flood disasters would be accessible to the community.  “Kedung Pancing Village is affected by flooding yearly,” he said. In support of disaster mitigation, students also procured and installed evacuation route signs and assembly points to facilitate the community in finding the fastest route to evacuation houses during floods. The Head of Bakaran Wetan Village, Wahyu Supriyo, expressed his appreciation for the students’ activities promoting the community’s economy through developing tourist villages, empowering MSMEs, and disaster mitigation.  “On behalf of the village administration, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to UGM students for greatly assisting our village activities,” he stated. On a separate occasion, the Head of the Pati Regency Development Planning Agency, Dr. Muhtar, stated that the Pati Regency government also appreciates the attention given by UGM and their choice of Pati as the location for the Community Service Program, particularly in Juwana and Tambakromo Districts. “These two districts have different characteristics, with Juwana being a center for fisheries and brass development, while Tambakromo focuses on agriculture with various challenges,” he explained. Dr. Muhtar noted that Tambakromo District often experiences flooding due to river overflow and flash floods. Therefore, he hopes that UGM can provide solutions to address these issues.  “The presence of UGM students can help solve problems and optimize the existing resources and potential in Pati,” he emphasized.

lessons we can learn from Pati and her community about protecting our ecosystems Sierra Gorda is a significant Biosphere reserve for UNESCO working with 638 local communities and covering 1600 square miles Maria shares her belief that the only way to achieve sustainable development is by achieving balance with nature – precisely the reason Biosphere Reserves exist These areas are crucial to help us understand changes and interactions between social and ecological systems providing local solutions to global challenges.  These podcasts were made possible thanks to the support of Radio France

once again in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin A decision by the Bermuda Police Service not to release records of telephone calls sought under Pati was backed by the Deputy Information Commissioner The BPS had found earlier that the requested documents did not exist The Information Commissioner’s Office said that “under delegated authority”, the Deputy Information Commissioner had issued a decision after reviewing the BPS’s denial of a public access to information request seeking records of the calls It added: “The decision affirmed the BPS’s refusal of the Pati request on the basis that no such records existed and further action was not required by the decision.” An applicant made a Pati request on March 7 2024 asking for all records relating to recordings of three telephone conversations between the applicant and officers The phone calls related to the applicant’s separate request for a record of their personal information the applicant copied in the Commissioner of Police stating that they were concerned about a potential conflict of interest because the recordings they sought related to the BPS’s information officer — responsible for handling Pati requests The BPS issued an initial response five days after the request was submitted explaining that the records did not exist because only calls made in and out of the BPS’s control room were recorded It acknowledged that owing to the applicant’s concerns the police commissioner had been involved in reaching the service’s decision on the request The BPS also informed the applicant that any review of the decision would lie with the Information Commissioner and on May 1 the applicant asked for an Information Commissioner’s review “Public authorities are entitled … to administratively deny a request if a requested record does not exist or cannot be found after all reasonable steps have been taken to find it,” the decision from LaKai Dill It added: “The BPS submitted that its understanding of the Pati request was a literal interpretation of the written request the BPS understood that the applicant was seeking audio recordings of three separate telephone conversations the applicant had with different BPS officers on a specified date the BPS submitted an e-mail thread between the applicant and the officers named in the Pati request prior request seeking access to a record of their personal information no records existed because the BPS only recorded ‘911’ calls through its control room “The BPS’s 911 call recordings were stored for playback if needed and sometimes were used as evidence in court.” Ms Dill’s decision said: “The Deputy Information Commissioner is satisfied that its analysis of the Pati request was accurate and complete.” It added that the Deputy Information Commissioner concluded that the BPS was justified in administratively denying the request If not satisfied with the outcome of the Pati request the applicant retains the right to seek and apply for judicial review to the

of the biggest milestones in the opera world he made his debut at the New York Metropolitan Opera playing the lead role of the lecherous Duke in Verdi's libretto Rigoletto Pati says it was such a far-fetched dream to be able to debut at what he calls the "Olympics" of opera singing that I was like this ain't gonna happen," Pati tells Summer Times host Anna Thomas "Even if you told me this 10 years ago this is the type of thing that when we're studying one day' … and to finally walk on stage and tick it off the list was a surreal feeling." Rihab Chaieb (top left) as Maddalena and Solomon Howard (centre) as Sparafucile at the New York Metropolitan Opera rehearsal for Rigoletto New York Metropolitan Opera / Jennifer Taylor But Pati is no stranger to performing on the world stage, making numerous debuts in recent years in San Francisco It's also his fifth time performing Rigoletto - the last was five months ago at Berlin State Opera the amount of times something always leads you astray you're kind of wondering how do you even get to that level and then when you finally hit it it's a kind of satisfaction but at the same time you're proud you stuck to your guns." He says he's got an "overwhelming sense of pride" to represent Samoa the Pacific and Aotearoa New Zealand on the stage "When you do your final bell, when you go out for your curtain call, they want you to stay in your costume, but they allowed me to go out with an ula and I wore my pounamu on stage for that bell at the Met because I was just like I feel like I'm bringing everyone along with me "And how hard it is just to break this scene out of New Zealand immerse yourself in languages that we don't even have in New Zealand like French and German and then Italian and then to finally reach that level really I was overwhelmed with emotions "I tried to close my eyes during the curtain call and just think I'm sure Aotearoa New Zealand and Samoa they're back at home doing a standing ovation right now and that's all that matters'." Pati says he keeps his voice in shape by going to a recording studio frequently "I think the hardest part is just trying to stay well the entire time You feel really bad because you're tyring to avoid everybody on the Metro you're trying to avoid everybody on the street who's coughing your way but unfortunately that's the life isn't it which I was … I had to cancel one of the shows because it's just the way it is You end up having those days where you're like I'm going to have to give it to someone else." Pene Pati as Duke of Mantua at the New York Metropolitan Opera rehearsal for Rigoletto on 3 January He says he misses home so much that if NZ was closer "There's nothing like being home When you've seen and travelled the world singing there's something different about being home in New Zealand that's what being home is about." with upcoming opera performances in London "I feel like we started [the year] too high More from MusicThere's a Tuesday's debut album is wildly impressiveOn Blush , There’s A Tuesday show off some fantastic songwriting, plus local dub merchants Pitch Black release a collection of top-tier remixes, and American indie folk band Beirut soundtrack a literal circus.

A government agency hired lawyers to handle a single public access to information request that involved its communications with the Premier about a private investment firm — at a cost to taxpayers of more than $165,000 The outlay on legal fees was disclosed by Major Marc Telemaque It came more than two years after The Royal Gazette asked for records underpinning a claim by David Burt that the Government needed to introduce fees for Pati requests because of the “extraordinary amount” incurred by public authorities in dealing with them Mr Burt, who is also the Minister of Finance, declared in his 2023-24 Budget statement that a “government authority spent in excess of $300,000 to respond to a single Pati request” but gave no further details He insisted: “These are funds that could have been used to advance the wellbeing of Bermuda but were instead spent researching information.” It took another Pati request to the Cabinet Office a two-year wait for a response from Major Telemaque and an inquiry by the Information Commissioner’s Office for a fuller picture to emerge of how the publicly funded Bermuda Business Development Agency hired counsel to handle the records request involving its communications with Mr Burt The Premier’s remarks in the 2023-24 Budget statement — including that the Pati regime could be “cumbersome and expensive” — were included to justify a plan to charge fees to members of the public for submitting requests for information Mr Burt claimed: “High levels of expenditure on requests are not uncommon as many government departments have had to halt vital work or hire short-term consultants to assist in responding to Pati requests.” The statement did not include any statistics on the actual total cost annually to the public purse of processing Pati requests and it has not been possible to obtain those figures A government spokeswoman said last week: “This would be difficult to collate based on the sheer volume of requests and varying nature of those requests.” The ICO’s most recent annual report showed there were 177 Pati requests made in 2024 Only 43 public authorities received records requests last year including 22 that received only a single request There were 134 public authorities which received no requests at all Parliamentarians passed the Public Access to Information Amendment Act last year and it came into force in January The legislation allowed the Government to charge $60 per hour for any requests that exceed 16 hours to research and compile and to reject requests requiring more than 100 hours to process The Gazette made a Pati request to the Cabinet Office soon after Mr Burt delivered the 2023-24 Budget to find out more about the Pati request that he claimed cost $300,000 and for details about the short-term consultants hired to help with records requests Major Telemaque responded in June 2023 to say that records about the $300,000 request were “now being collated” and would soon be supplied He rejected the part of the request that sought records about the consultants because it was “too broad” and processing it would disrupt the work of the public authority The Gazette narrowed the request but no records were shared and no explanation was given A similar Pati request was submitted in June 2024 The Gazette asked the Information Commissioner to investigate and last November Ms Gutierrez ordered the Cabinet Secretary to issue a decision on the June 2024 request by January 3 this year eventually sending his decision to the newspaper on March 27 He wrote that the Pati request referenced by the Premier in his February 2023 Budget statement was made to the BDA in May 2019 and was for records about GTL Atlantic Ltd the name Game Theory incorporated under in Bermuda “The $300K spent in responding to this request appears to comprise $165,932.50 in legal fees combined with almost 100 hours of staff time [at various levels in the organisation] devoted to the matter,” he wrote The government spokeswoman said Mr Burt did not give any details about the Pati request to the BDA in his Budget statement because the content of records requests and the management of them were “not matters for ministers and are not disclosed to them by law” The company had posted a job advert for six “sports trading operators” in Bermuda, but David Burt said it opted not to open an office here after an article about its recruitment drive appeared in the Gazette’s Business section who was then the BDA’s business development manager had worked hard for six months to bring the Guernsey-based company to Bermuda and the “disappointment felt in” his voice was “palpable” when he heard of its change of heart The newspaper submitted a Pati request in May 2019 to the BDA for all the records it held about the firm including communications between Mr Richards and any public servant The agency disclosed 600 hard-copy documents in response to the request, although it redacted the names of public officials and was later told by the Information Commissioner that it needed to make further disclosures Gitanjali Gutierrez wrote that it was “in the public interest to understand why the Premier criticised The Royal Gazette during the parliamentary session on February 15 2019” and that “disclosure of the information in the records about two elected officials … is in the public interest” Mr Burt said the company fell within the fintech industry The initial disclosure revealed that Game Theory told a BDA official it was happy to be categorised as a fintech firm “if it helps from a political point of view” although it did not view itself as a financial technology company The later disclosure showed that Wayne Caines when he was the Minister of National Security and responsible for fintech was involved in discussions with the company about setting up an office on the island The company described itself as a “private investment office for a family” in its correspondence with the BDA again refused to share details about the short-term consultants hired to handle Pati requests and the work they did “There are 12 ministries and over 700 government departments and my view … is that this request is manifestly too broad and creates an administrative burden to fulfil …” he wrote was “aware of two ministries [health and finance] having engaged consultants in the relevant period to manage the volume of Pati requests” The Gazette asked the BDA for comment for this article said in his 2023-24 Budget statement: “The public access to information regime is a proud achievement of the PLP government and serves as a way to ensure that the public have access to the information that the Government keeps on them and are better able to understand the reasoning for government actions “Pati increases the Government’s transparency and accountability the regime can be cumbersome and expensive a government authority spent in excess of $300,000 to respond to a single Pati request “These are funds that could have been used to advance the wellbeing of Bermuda but were instead spent researching information “High levels of expenditure on requests are not uncommon as many government departments have had to halt vital work or hire short-term consultants to assist in responding to Pati requests the Government will implement a nominal fee for Pati requests that are not from private individuals requesting information about the data that the Government holds about them “This nominal fee will not nearly cover the extraordinary amount that researching Pati requests costs the Government but the Cabinet has deemed it necessary to implement a fee to ensure that at least some of the costs of requests are recouped.” • To view the Cabinet

In the anterior chamber of both eyes, only 0.5 cells with resolution of flare and KPs were noted. On macular OCT, the CMO in the right eye partially resolved while it completely resolved in the left eye (Figure 1C and D) IOP measured at 32 mmHg and 34 mmHg on the right and left eye which were treated with topical anti-glaucomatous medication The patient was monitored every 2 weeks Figure 2 Anterior segment photos of both eyes 2 months into treatment presence of posterior synechiae and anterior subcapsular cataract in both eyes were observed The patient tested positive for serum HSV IgM which resulted in initiation of Valacyclovir 1 g three times a day Autoimmune and other infectious aetiologies were excluded HSV DNA were not detected on aqueous humour PCR analyses of both eyes pain and signs of active intraocular inflammation Although the patient reported cloudy blurring of vision this was attributable to the cataract formation in both eyes Dexamethasone 0.1% eye drop was reduced to 4 times a day and atropine 1.0% eye drop to once at night and oral valacyclovir 1 g three times a day was continued Herpes simplex virus associated anterior uveitis typically presents unilaterally accompanied by ocular hypertension, keratic precipitates (KPs) and sectoral iris atrophy with or without transillumination defects.1 Concomitant keratitis can occur in 30%–40%,5 but its absence does not exclude herpetic uveitis origin.4 It mainly occurs in middle-aged inidividuals,4,7 and also has a female preponderance.4,8 A case series in Italy reported that 59.8% of their patients diagnosed with HSV uveitis were female.8 These are consistent with our patient’s demographics the case presented has several deviations from the typical presentation of HSV anterior uveitis To date, only few studies have described bilateral HSV anterior uveitis. The incidence of bilateral ocular involvement varies among literatures. One study stated that the frequency of bilateral involvement ranges from 3% to 11.9% and is more common in younger individuals,8 while another study reported bilateral occurrence in 18% of their patients.9 In 1969, a clinical report described a 34-year-old Caucasian woman who developed bilateral herpes simplex panuveitis 10 days postpartum. Her past ocular history revealed a previous bout of anterior uveitis in the right eye in 1963 that also started in the second week postpartum.11 KPs in HSV anterior uveitis can appear as fine stellate or granulomatous KPs,1 but the typical herpetic KPs are large.13 These usually disappear with treatment13 as in our patient whose KPs in both eyes resolved within two weeks of treatment Subtenon triamcinolone injection is said to be comparable to intravitreal injection as both are able to reach similar vitreous concentrations.18 It still has the ability to cause secondary ocular hypertension, but anti-glaucomatous medications are highly effective in controlling IOP17 as in our patient The patient was diagnosed to have bilateral HSV anterior uveitis based on the HEDS criteria supported by the presence of serum antibodies to HSV.6 In most centres, the diagnosis of herpetic anterior uveitis remains to be clinical and intraocular fluid analysis is only done to confirm diagnosis in some cases.9 The diagnosis of herpetic anterior uveitis is still a clinical diagnosis in most centres and intraocular fluid analysis is only done in a few cases where confirmatory diagnosis is needed.9 In cases of bilateral presentations it is important to rule out other possible autoimmune and infectious aetiologies and have a high index of suspicion A proper thorough history taking is also imperative as it could uncover clinical scenarios that could potentially be associated with the clinical presentation as in our patient the bilateral presentation could be due to the transient state of immunodeficiency that is pregnancy Prompt treatment should be given to limit secondary complications and continuous monitoring is important as recurrences are common The patient was consented to the publication of this study This study does not contain patient identifiers or personal information No funding was received for this manuscript The authors declare no conflicts of interest 1. de-la-Torre A Bilateral herpes simplex uveitis: review of the literature and own reports 2.

At first so we put the idea aside," she remembers.  After the successful operation, Anna revisited the idea. Since she would spend her rehab and treatment at her parents' home they thought of organizing a series of concerts there during the three weeks her radiotherapy lasted.  but also nodding to radiotherapy and the patio where the concerts would take place.  and soon they had a strong lineup with seven evenings of concerts featuring double performances each day.  Among the 14 artists were some of the big names from the Catalan music scene "We wanted the tickets to be a donation to cancer research and people could donate whatever they wanted," she explains.  They chose to donate all the money they raised to the Metastasis Challenge, an initiative from Barcelona's Institute for Research in Biomedicine to raise €5 million for metastasis research.  We estimated we could have about 30 or 40 people on the patio and that people would donate around €15 We reached that goal before the first concert," she recalls.  and including speeches from activists and experts to raise awareness on metastatic cancer Ràdio Pati concluded with a total of €13,270 raised.  "Ràdio Pati helped me stay active during these months It gave me a lot of positive energy and distractions which helped me forget about the hospital for a while," Anna epxlains looking forward to resuming a normal life after a summer full of emotions.  Her story is set to make it to the big screen through a short film she created with her brother portraying the story of Anna and many others who have to face this illness at a young age.  To learn more about Anna's story and those of other survivors, listen to this episode of our podcast Filling the Sink.  Get the day's biggest stories right to your phone Pati Rolf is a former volleyball referee who spent 18 years at international level before retiring after the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 She was part of the historic all-female gold medal officiating crew at the Rio 2016 volleyball women’s final and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the FIVB Rules of the Game & Refereeing Commission who is also the Director of Officials at USA Volleyball to discuss her journey and illustrious career in volleyball What was your career path to become the FIVB Rules of the Game & Refereeing Commission member?  I have always appreciated the support and coaching I have received as a FIVB International Referee. Many individuals on the commission have helped me personally to grow as an official communicator and facilitator of the game. I have always appreciated the importance of management having spent 25 years as a head coach at the college level in the USA and as a board member of volleyball and other professional organisations. However I have always enjoyed the idea of serving others. I grew up in that environment due to my mother and service was always a big part of my life.  My path to the Commission really was out of process.  I served as President of our North Country Region of USA Volleyball in the 90s and was a member of the USA Badger Region Board when I move to Wisconsin to coach at Marquette I was elected the USA At-Large National Indoor Referees Representative to our Officials Assembly then became Chair of the USA Rules of the Game Commission I decided to apply to be Director of Officials for USA Volleyball to help grow the love of officiating in the USA It was an honour to be asked by Mr Paredes to serve on the FIVB Rules of the Game & Refereeing Commission particularly the duty of serving fellow referees as a Referee Coach I am looking forward to this experience working with my colleagues  Pati Rolf officiating at a match of the Olympic Games Rio 2016 How do you overcome challenges in your professional career?  I believe the most important core value is listening and respecting people’s views and ideas and from this I have learnt a lot about how things work and how they/we look at the game and its future I value other people’s input and opinions; I also love to read and reflect on the thoughts and ideas of others.  Education and learning are critical to growth This has allowed me to continue to love the process of learning Life will always throw challenges at us.  Do you have any special moments in your career that you remember and would like to share with the readers I think the memory that really continues to carry me are the insane number of friends I have across the world due to my travels I have done World Military Games in Canada I can really tell you every event has its beauty.  From the players and coaches and to my fellow referees that are like family to me.  I referee for reasons that are different than the act of officiating I was a player and coach first.  Refereeing was to fill a gap I knew as a child if could see the best teams in the world play What advice would you give your 25-year-old self I was very brave which is hilarious to put on paper as a coach I wish I would have taken more interesting jobs and I wish I had gone overseas to play and coach.  Moving around the country and world to gain experiences was not something that women did in the 80s I would have told my younger self to go for it and bring my family with me I will say I have a very full and healthy life so far and plenty of time for more adventures The FIVB is the governing body responsible for all forms of Volleyball on a global level Working closely with national federations and private enterprises to develop Volleyball as a popular media and entertainment sport FIVB Fédération Internationale de Volleyball Château Les Tourelles Edouard-Sandoz 2-4 1006 Lausanne Switzerland Phone: +41 213 453 535 Fax: +41 213 453 545 Learn how to describe the purpose of the image (opens in a new tab) Leave empty if the image is purely decorative As if there wasn’t enough youthful revelry in the Loop Saturday night with carousing St Patrick’s Day celebrants clad in Kelly green La Bohème returned to the Lyric Opera stage for a four-week run Puccini’s tune-packed tale of young Parisian artists and tuberculosis is about as titanium a piece of musical theater as exists two talented principals lifted a routine Puccini night into a successful evening—no mean feat with pedestrian conducting and stage direction that hovered between amateurish and appalling Born in Chicago, Ailyn Pérez returned for her third appearance at Lyric Opera following Elixir of Love and Faust (where her company debut as Marguerite was hobbled Mimi has become a signature role for Pérez and she brought the requisite star power both vocally and dramatically At times the soprano overdid the girlishness in the first two acts with Mimi seeming more hyperactive than endearing What happened to the shy and lonely seamstress Yet she sang a glowing “Mi chiamano Mimi” and her portrayal rose in depth and dramatic strength as the opera unfolded Her rich-toned and expressive “Donde liete usci” was the vocal highlight of the evening and Pérez sang and acted with subtle and touching sensitivity in the tragic final act Pene Pati is making debuts at major houses this season including Lyric and the Met (as the Duke in Rigoletto) The Samoan tenor possesses a pleasing voice vibrant and flexible yet he got off to a mixed start as Rodolfo While he nailed a secure top C in “Che gelida manina” his hectoring phrasing lacked a smooth legato line with an oddly squawked note on the way up to the aria’s previous A flat in Act III and blended beautifully with Pérez in the closing music of reconciliation Pati moved gracefully on stage;

the Information Commissioner’s Office explained that all requests for personal information — including disciplinary records, human resource documents and recruitment records — must now be made using the Personal Information Protection Act Pipa, which came into effect on January 1 gives individuals the right to access what personal and medical information organisations have about them how it was received and used and with whom it was shared requests for other information held by public authorities must still be made using Pati Information Commissioner Gitanjali Gutierrez explained: “The public can still make Pati requests for records held by a public authority containing a third party’s personal information “Pipa will not be a barrier to fulfilling the Pati Act’s purposes of promoting accountability and transparency around decisions made by public authorities it means that records containing the work-related decisions and actions by elected officials board chairs and other leaders within the public sector may still be subject to disclosure in response to a Pati request “This will only occur when the public has a strong interest in the accountability and transparency of these individuals’ work information and their expectation of privacy for this information is low.” • Visitico.bm/changes-to-patior see Related Media for more details The Samoan actor makes his Metropolitan Opera debut this month as the libertine Duke Samoan tenor Pene Pati makes an important Met debut in one of his signature roles the libertine Duke of Mantua in Verdi’s Rigoletto (playing January 6–24). As he prepared to join forces with a pair of company veterans—baritone Luca Salsi in the title role and soprano Erin Morley as Gilda—Pati spoke to the Met’s Christopher Browner about exploring the many aspects of the Duke’s character and representing his homeland on opera’s greatest stage What makes the Duke a good role to introduce you to Met audiences?Pene Pati: At first I actually wished it were something like La Bohème something that would make the audience love me a little bit more I’m glad because the Duke offers so much in terms of character and vocal exploration It’s a good way to show all the colors of my voice The Duke behaves pretty badly—do you see him as a villain?I don’t intentionally try to play him as a bad person He’s enjoyed this high status his entire life and doesn’t understand why everyone around him doesn’t act the same way he does in the aria “Parmi veder le lagrime,” that he’s suddenly surprised by the experience of new more tender emotions. It’s a glimpse into his actual soul and it’s a beautiful moment for the audience to see that beneath the privilege, he’s just a person Is that the highlight of the score for you?It’s not an easy aria I thought of it as a hurdle: “As long as I get through this I actually look forward to singing it because it’s the only moment where I can really be myself. And I sing it completely differently than the other two Duke arias a lot of textures, instead of just going out there and singing it full on Having grown up on the other side of the world what does this Met debut mean to you?Growing up as a Samoan historically everything was passed on to the next generation through song Everyone sings, and music has always been part of me But even after I decided to pursue a career in singing I didn’t see many Pacific Islanders in opera I took it as a challenge and decided that maybe I could be the one to pave a path. And now that I’m going to be singing at the Met Noah

of the public seeking information from the Government through public access to information will have to pay $60 if their requests will take more than 16 hours to process Pati requests will be dropped if they require more than 100 hours for civil servants to research and craft a response Presenting the Public Access to Information Amendment Bill before the House of Assembly on Friday claimed that government ministries had been swamped by Pati applications She said it placed “an unreasonable burden on resources” and took up “considerable time and effort” by government officials The minister said the fee would deter organisations from filing “vexatious” claims that prevented civil servants from carrying out their day-to-day duties The tariff has been condemned by Gitanjali Gutierrez the Information Commissioner whose office oversees Pati requests telling MPs the Government had “established a framework that creates transparency and accountability and provides rights of access for government records” she added that the Government had received more than 1,200 Pati applications since its inception in 2015 with administrators struggling with the workload Ms Caesar said some “ill-defined” requests resulted in “thousands of pages” of paperwork She added: “Over the past nine years that Pati has been in force public authorities have raised a number of issues “Many of these challenges relate to the management of the voluminous and sometimes complex requests “The most frequently expressed concern by public officers involved in responding to Pati requests is the unreasonable burden on the stretched resources and the ability to balance regular business duties with Pati requests.” which come into effect on January 1 next year would help applicants to “narrow or focus” their applications While many PLP MPs took a free swing at unnamed organisations for “abusing” the Pati system backbencher Jamahl Simmons took aim at The Royal Gazette and its foreign journalists in particular In a four-minute speech during the Pati debate where was this concern for fairness when you all [the One Bermuda Alliance] slashed scholarships Where was this concern for fairness when you tried to slash access to mammograms?” He added: “I get it that the Pati legislation turns on your supporters They really like it because it’s all about getting the PLP “So The Royal Gazette knows very well the number of times I’ve called them up and chastised them because of lazy journalism you can call me xenophobic but I don’t care They then tend to be able to ask the right questions They then tend to be able to expose the facts sending in Pati requests and writing stories for The Royal Gazette “And so that’s been a bone of contention of mine and the editors of the Gazette will know that I have chastised them for it because it’s lazy journalism and you find that once you get the answer they are very rarely able to take it past a daylong story.” Mr Simmons said Pati seldom yielded “a Jetgate” or stories that could be stretched into “something substantive” because they’re not real journalists doing this.” The minister was backed by a raft of government MPs maintaining that organisations were abusing the system He said: “I think that some organisations and people think that Pati is their own research department put a spin on it to make those who they don’t like so much damage their character “The organisations that constantly use this facility .. they can well afford it or they can get their own department.” PLP backbencher Wayne Caines added: “The Pati legislation serves a significant purpose “We have to now make sure that it’s not being abused “There are [government] organisations that cannot function because of the plethora of requests that are going in from specific organisations for their own design.” Mr Caines added that government institutions could be hamstrung by Pati applications that were “duplicitous and used for mal-intent” and put forward by organisations intent on “misusing it for their own narrative” and intent on going on “fishing expeditions” One voice of dissent from the Government's back benches came from Renée Ming who expressed concern that the fee would freeze out those on low budgets seeking information from the Government questioned how the Bill created “a fairer” Bermuda He said: “Many of the clauses in this Pati amendment act are minor and procedural the One Bermuda Alliance has no question with these clauses the OBA does have concerns when it comes to the charging of a fee How does this make Bermuda fairer and better How does it make the Government more transparent “How does it increase the transparency of public authorities How does this improve the process of informing the public about the activities of public authorities “The amendment proposing the charging of a fee could exclude those who cannot afford to pay the fee.” The Bill was passed and will go to the Senate

pollutes the ocean and has the potential to affect existing ecosystems Indonesia is the second largest producer of plastic waste in the world after China as shown by data from the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) Poorly managed plastic waste can pollute the environment and threaten the lives of living organisms It is recorded that every year there are 3.2 million tons of unmanaged plastic waste in Indonesia The situation is even worse evidenced by the amount of waste that ends up in the sea One of the most commonly found types of plastic waste is plastic straws According to data from Divers Clean Action the usage of straws in Indonesia reaches 93,244,847 pieces every day they could reach a length of 16,784 kilometers can endanger the lives of living creatures Plastic is easily ingested by marine animals It is not uncommon to find animals such as birds or turtles dead due to being trapped in plastic waste There have also been cases of turtles with their noses clogged by plastic straws Very small plastics or microplastics are found in fish consumed by humans Research by Elisabeth S Gruber from the Medical University of Vienna published in the journal Exposure and Health in March 2022 shows that nanoplastics and microplastics have the ability to change the composition of the gut microbiome Disruption of the digestive tract microbiome by exposure to plastic is linked to metabolic diseases High exposure to microplastics and nanoplastics can also trigger inflammation and disrupt the immune system (Kompas Also read: The Long Road to a Waste-Free Indonesia The magnitude of the negative impact of plastic use has prompted many researchers to develop and produce innovative products that can replace plastic-based products with more environmentally friendly materials The development is done while still considering the sustainability of the materials used A recent study was conducted by researchers from the Agroindustrial Research Center of the Agricultural and Food Research Organiation of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) The researchers have developed a drinking straw made from sago starch In addition to being environmentally friendly Children learn to make toys and decorations from used straws at a campaign against plastic waste held by SDN Pondok Labu 11 This campaign aims to encourage children to reduce the use of environmentally unfriendly materials the engineer from the Agroindustry Research Center of BRIN who is also a researcher developing straws made from sago starch stated that sago is a wealth of local resources in Indonesia that is abundant the raw material tends to be forgotten and has not been maximally utilized According to data from the Ministry of Industry around 50 percent of the world's potential sago is located in Indonesia The area of sago plants in Indonesia reaches 5.5 million hectares the potential production of sago starch reaches 41.25 million tons per year Harianto and the research team utilized sago as a raw material for producing environmentally friendly straws In addition to increasing the utilization of sago this research can also help to address the issue of plastic straw waste in the environment When contacted in Jakarta on Sunday (18/2/2024) an environmentally friendly straw that would be developed using raw materials from seaweed flour or carrageenan the price of carrageenan is quite expensive environmentally friendly straws can actually be developed using large flour as raw material it will compete with the fulfillment of basic necessities of the society Its price is also more expensive compared to the sago starch The demand for direct consumption or for industry is quite high sago becomes the main raw material for the production of environmentally friendly straws," he said Harianto explained that the innovation of using sago starch for straws has several advantages One of them is that the residue of sago straw can easily decompose in the soil which means that it will not cause environmental pollution These straws also have a water soak resistance of up to one hour there are ongoing efforts to develop sago straws with a water soak resistance of up to four hours The innovation of using sago starch as a straw has several advantages including the fact that the remains of the sago straw easily decompose in the soil thus preventing environmental pollution caused by waste This straw is also safe for consumption even after being soaked or softened Unused straw products have a fairly long shelf life of over a year The straw is also quite strong and not easily brittle the development of straws from sago starch begins with a modification process of the raw material sago starch This process needs to be done to prevent the dark or dull color of the sago starch The process continues with the formulation of additional ingredients to improve the performance of the product Only then is the cooking process carried out for pregelatinization which is also related to the formulation Also read: How long it takes for straws to decompose is influenced by the materials that make them up the process continues for printing by extrusion The printing process is supported by a die (dice) so that the printing results can be better product packaging is carried out using special technology that can maintain product quality This straw product made from edible sago starch or what is called sago edible drinking straw has been patented with registered patent number P00202314873 "We are very open if any industry is interested in collaborating on commercialization," he said Harianto stated that it is undeniable that there are several challenges in the development process These challenges include producing a product with a clear and white appearance Another challenge is sustainability of raw materials The sustainability of demand and industry needs for sagu starch has not yet occurred causing the price of sagu starch to sometimes become expensive Harianto stated that the development of environmentally-friendly straws will continue Improvements with various alternative technology processes will be undertaken development will be done for the use of other raw materials He also hopes that various studies can continue to be developed to better utilize the potential of sago in Indonesia "The most important support needed is the creation or creativity of various products that are in demand by consumers the industry will then produce to meet that interest Sago starch can be used for food raw materials or other industrial raw materials such as environmentally friendly straws," he said The process of sago processing begins by marking the sago stem with a half-circle line residents remove the bark of the tree following the line made The removed bark is not discarded but instead used as a container to hold grated sago Senior Researcher at the Horticulture and Plantation Research Center of the Agricultural Research and Food Agency BRIN assessed during Horties Talk #11 on August 23 that harvesting sago stems is still difficult to do in Indonesia due to limited infrastructure the availability of sago land and potential in Indonesia is very large Also read: A Look Again at the Evolution of Straws: From Paper, Plastic, to Environmentally Friendly Materials The richness of the diversity of Indonesian sago germplasm can be utilized to develop sago products in communities This is done by providing high-quality sago seeds increasing the release of superior varieties and accelerating the mass propagation of sago through tissue culture technology Legislation to apply fees and time limits to public access to information requests was passed in the Upper House yesterday but only after opposition senators forced a vote on the controversial amendment The Public Access to Information Amendment Bill will enable the Government to charge $60 per hour for any requests that exceed 16 hours to research and compile Requests that take more than 100 hours to complete can be rejected said: “The Government has established a framework that creates transparency and accountability with respect to information held by public authorities.” He added that there had been more than 1,200 Pati requests in the past nine years Mr Fubler said that some Pati requests had resulted in civil servants having to trawl through thousands of pages of records which was “exhausting public authority resources” He said: “Many of these challenges relate to the management of voluminous and sometimes complex requests “Responding to Pati requests requires significant time and effort to first conduct an appropriate search and then produce those records “Some requesters sometimes make broad and ill-defined requests for any and all correspondence relating to an issue over extended time periods without a willingness to refine the search criteria.” Mr Fubler said that the fee would encourage applicants to submit more focused questions rather than broad requests The move was condemned by One Bermuda Alliance senators said that the problem could be resolved if more resources and training were allocated to Pati requests Dr De Couto also pointed out that despite claims by the Government that it had carried out a consultation process before drafting the Bill, it had been condemned by Gitanjali Gutierrez Dwayne Robinson said it would send a message that the Government was not interested in promoting transparency He added that while a fee would boost the Government’s coffers it failed to address the underlying lack of resources He said: “It doesn’t address staffing issues We don’t want to pass legislation that is going to disincentivise people from using it suggested that the Government should share information by default thus making many Pati requests unnecessary Independent senator John Wight was also critical He said: “Too often the public get deprived of information they should be able to get I found myself disagreeing with the reasons why this legislation is better and more efficient She said that she had also questioned the need for fees but felt confident that the Government was not attempting to deter Pati applications She echoed earlier concerns by MPs about “vexatious applications” suggesting that some Pati requests were made to embarrass the Government and were not submitted “with good purpose” all three independent senators ultimately chose to back it and voted with the five on the government side while the opposition senators went against The Bill was passed by eight votes to three One other piece of legislation was rubber-stamped by senators during the session The Employment Amendment Act 2024 will increase severance allowance payments from 26 weeks to 32 for staff who have been in continuous work with an employer for 13 years or more the Government’s finance spokeswoman in the Senate said the increase would give those who have been made redundant more time to look for work She said the Government recognised the rising cost of doing business in Bermuda but emphasised that employers had to provide a minimum standard the One Bermuda Alliance issued a statement questioning the new Pati rules said that the system was “an important tool to increase the Government’s accountability and transparency” He added that changes would hamper its ability to keep the public informed it was Pati that enabled Bermuda to find out that $16.5 million of taxpayers’ money has been wasted on the failed Gaming Commission “It was Pati that enabled Bermuda to learn how the Government had to step in and pay $11 million of severance payments that Gencom could not “It was Pati that enabled to Bermuda to learn the details of how Belco pollution was affecting Pembroke residents and the problems with the Historical Land Loss Commission of Inquiry “These are just some of the many topics of important public interest that we learnt from Pati and which the Government would have preferred you not to know fought tooth and nail to hide any and all information from the public Pati is not just for the newspapers and politicians It’s also for Mr and Mrs Smith who need to get information about how government has treated them or a civil servant or member of the uniformed services who may not have been
