A surge of parents seeking remote learning for their children has overwhelmed public school programs in Los Angeles, causing teacher shortages, administrative snafus and enrollment delays that in some cases have kept students out of school for weeks.
The L.A. Unified School District program, called City of Angels, was an already existing independent study program that was adapted this school year to serve parents unable or unwilling to return their children to in-person classes due to ongoing pandemic-related safety concerns. The program has been sought out by many parents who have children with special needs as well as health issues.
For the record:
5:49 p.m. Sept. 27, 2021An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that a bill addressing some of the independent study problems was still on the governor’s desk. The governor signed the bill on Sept. 23.
But a large number of the 15,000 students enrolled have experienced a range of problems as the district grapples with teaching vacancies and cumbersome state guidelines that have created difficulties for school districts across California.
While thousands of parents have successfully enrolled their children, others appear to have struggled with the process, with many who seek help unable to get responses from phone calls and emails. Many children have missed days of instruction and, in the most extreme cases, have been unable to attend school for weeks. And many have faced repeated disruptions as newly hired teachers tried to figure out the system or as substitute teachers were replaced, one after another.
Alison Goldberg said her twin daughters, Madelynn and Savannah, were left without a teacher for nearly two weeks. One month into the school year, her daughters had been reassigned teachers three times. The last one was a substitute.
Going back to school during a pandemic, Goldberg said, was never an option: One daughter has a metabolic disorder and her doctor recommended that she stay home because she is vulnerable.
“It’s just a nightmare,” Goldberg said. “Kids like mine are not getting a fair public education.”
Teachers have also reported problems. One, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation, said she had received ever-shifting instructions and no guidance from administrators by phone or email. Her curricular materials arrived several weeks into the semester.
L.A. Unified is far from the only school district that has faced difficulties with independent study programs. Many problems stem from efforts by state officials to make sure that school systems would restore in-person learning this fall.
With the expectation that the vast majority of students would return in person — and they have — the Legislature narrowed the alternatives. State officials required school districts to provide remote learning through independent study, making it the only authorized option to regular in-person instruction.
In past years, independent study programs have catered to students with unique schedules or unusual needs — like child actors. And these students did academic work without frequent teacher supervision — often using packets they’d turn in to a teacher once per week.
State officials decided that an expanded version of independent study — one that now includes some live daily online interaction with a teacher — would suffice for families wanting remote learning. But this live online instruction, in quantity and scope, is nothing like last year, when school districts carried out their entire academic program online.
In L.A. Unified, with about 450,000 students, only about 3% have requested the remote option, but the program had to be wrestled into existence almost overnight — a task magnified when parents flooded the district with last-minute requests.
Exactly how many families faced serious difficulties is unclear. A senior union official told members on Thursday that only 2,000 children were fully enrolled at the start of school on Aug. 16 — a time when more than 10,000 students had requested enrollment. District officials said Friday that the “vast majority” were “assigned a teacher” by that date.
Many of these teachers have been temporary. The district acknowledged Friday that about 37% of positions have been filled by substitute teachers, who, under state work rules, must be transferred to different students after no more than 30 days, district officials said.
At last week’s Board of Education meeting, board member Scott Schmerelson called the situation “an emergency” and urged senior administrators to transfer in as much staff as necessary.
The situation appears to have been particularly dire for children with special needs. Student disability attorney Valerie Vanaman said her firm could not handle all the requests for help and estimated that at least hundreds of students with special needs were not receiving appropriate instruction well into the school year.
When Myra Ruiz made inquiries about enrollment, she got bounced around between City of Angels and in-person schools. Her situation is especially challenging because her 11-year-old twins and 10-year-old have disabilities that require special services.
“It has been really an impossible situation,” Ruiz said.
For such students, the path toward City of Angels has been complicated. These students typically are set up with a legally required Individualized Education Plan, or IEP. But the IEPs have to be updated before enrollment and the meetings have been difficult to schedule.
Moreover, parents of students with disabilities assumed that their children would have ready access online or by appointment to the services — speech therapy, for example — that their children would otherwise receive in person through the regular program. That is not necessarily the case.
“Many advocates around the state predicted that independent study wouldn’t be the right fit for remote learning,” said Victor Leung, the director of education equity at the ACLU of Southern California.
With the surge in cases caused by the Delta variant, many families ultimately decided to keep children home.
Across the state, students with disabilities have been discouraged from seeking independent study, services have been delayed and students are losing days of instruction and risk falling behind, a coalition of education rights organizations said in a Sept. 22 letter to state Supt. of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and state Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond.
A bill addressing at least some of the independent study problems was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sept. 23, making it easier for districts to legally provide services students need, whether through independent study or while students are quarantined.
Advocates remain worried. The legislative fixes don’t fully address challenges parents face when they opt for long-term independent study, the organizations say.
“While we are struggling, as advocates, to support the families and organizations from whom we have received calls, there are surely many other parents/guardians who do not have advocates supporting them,” the letter states. “They are thus even more unlikely to have their education rights acknowledged or protected.”
Another issue is that middle and high school students in the old independent study format were typically assigned only one teacher — who was not expected to be qualified to teach every subject. Families entering independent study this fall were expecting fully credentialed teachers for each subject, just as they were used to.
L.A. Unified Chief of Schools David Baca acknowledged that the parents’ accounts of systemic problems are accurate.
To meet demand, Baca said, staff members have been drafted from other areas to help families enroll. The district has also hired an additional 171 teachers since the start of school — totaling 575 — as well as support staff.
“There is some routing that’s needed, but we are at the place now where we feel like every email that comes in or every phone call, we can route it so we can take care of the follow-up,” Baca said of where things stand nearly seven weeks into the school year.
In Ruiz’s case, even bringing on an attorney did not lead to a swift response, although the district responded quickly after being contacted about her case by The Times. As of this week, two of Ruiz’s children are attending classes through City of Angels, while one child is still waiting to be fully enrolled. While happy that the situation has improved, Ruiz said she worries about lost learning time.
For Goldberg, a single parent, the entire experience has been so draining she recently adopted two puppies to help support her daughters emotionally. As far as school goes, her daughters have progressed so little that she’s considering hiring a tutor.
Jocelyn Minton said she’s grateful for the remote option, even if enrolling her 5-year-old was a roller coaster. For eight days, he logged into a virtual classroom filled with other students but no teacher, Minton said. She wasn’t able to reach anyone by phone or email.
“I felt like all of us who chose this safer option had to sacrifice education for health,” Minton said. After about two weeks, she finally got a hold of administrators, including Baca, who helped find a class for her son. Within a few days, he was reading and completing math assignments alongside his virtual classmates.
“I’m grateful that they’re doing it, but with that comes a lot of kinks,” Minton said.

New Year’s Eve is tomorrow night and we can all start to look back on 2009. As my family grows, siblings have children, another holiday season comes and goes, and that thing we call “work” stealing crazy amounts of time, I’m amazed at how fast 365 days can go. We have one more night to kick back and enjoy some time before we sign on for another run in 2010.
There are a lot of things you can do to celebrate on New Year’s Eve, but you do not always have to go out, or buy a high priced ticket to an event for a good time. You can stay in… switch up your regular menu a bit… get creative with drinks… invite some friends over… whatever your mood is, there’s something you can do.
Here are some simple ideas for a New Year’s with food and wine:
Mingle and munch! What wine goes with hors d’ oeuvres?
Stuffed Mushrooms - Merlot, Brut Champagne, or crisp Chardonnay
Spinach Dip - A dry Rosé or Viognier
Cheddar Cheese - Rioja, Cabernet Sauvignon, or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc
Beef with Broccoli - Valpolicella or Malbec
General Tsao Chicken - Gewurztraminer, semi-dry Riesling, or Pinot Noir
Chicken Chow Mein - Prosecco or Pinot Noir
…even Egg Rolls - Albarino, Chenin Blanc, or Sauvignon Blanc What wine goes with pizza?
Whip up some homemade pizza and toss on some chicken with your favorite veggies! This is like Build-A-Bear with sauce and cheese…why not? - Try a Chianti or Pinot NoirSeafood lovers:
One year, my wife and I made stuffed flounder (crab & shrimp stuffing). Delicious! Typically, this would go great with white wine like a Chardonnay or Pinot Gris. You could pop open a Rosé and give that a shot as well. However, I wanted to try to go with a red wine and chose Pinot Noir which worked out well since the wine did not overpower the flavors of the dish. You have a few options here, so go with what you like if you want to be your own chef this year. :)Bored with sparkling wine or Champagne for the countdown?
Spruce up your drink options and make some wine cocktails: Bellini
- Chill a champagne flute
- 1 medium ripe, peeled and pureed peach (or 2 oz. peach schnapps)
- 4-6 oz Champagne
- Pour peach puree into glass and slowly add champagne. Stir gently.
- Garnish with a peach slice
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries or blackberries
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1/3 to 1/2 cup chilled Prosecco
Ecco Cioccolato (courtesy of EccoDomani.com)
- Muddle 6 raspberries with 1 teaspoon of sugar
- Add 2.5 oz. of Ecco Domani Chianti
- Stir in 1.5 teaspoons of sweet cocoa powder
- Pour into a shaker and shake vigorously
- Strain into a martini glass
- Layer whipped cream onto drink and garnish with chocolate shavings
- Serves 4 to 6

Mr Rodgers said he is very proud of the staff at Moree Plains as so many employees go above and beyond in their roles.
“Their leadership abilities and professionalism are qualities that reflect the high standards which we expect of our staff,” he said.
Mr Rodgers made special mention of recipients Anthony Dean for his 30 years’ service and Fiona McClymont for her 35 years’ service.

This guest post by Danielle Ward details the various options available to those interested in a career in the healthcare professions but not sure about what type of degree or what type of specialty to pursue.
The field of medical science is not just confined to physicians and doctors; there are so many degree courses and areas you can specialize in. A Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate Degree in Medicine is among the most common and popular academic course that almost every aspiring doctor wants to achieve, but there’s much more than that. You also have to crack tough entrance exams and fight through intense competition to win a seat in a prestigious medical college or institution. Most medical colleges cover major subjects, such as medicinal drugs, anatomy, and physiology
Let us delve deeper into the many different types of courses and degree option. Listed below are some practical and interesting career choices for medical students:
The most primary of medical courses, this involves studying all the different and diverse subjects in medical science. General Physicians are almost never out of work and have ample earning opportunities. It prepares you to deal with the most common ailments, such as common cold, to deadly diseases and disorders, such as cholera and jaundice. One can pursue a career as a general physician after getting an undergraduate degree in Medicine (MBBS) or a post graduate degree (MD) in general medicine.
Outside the US, once you’ve achieved a bachelor’s degree in medicine i.e. MBBS, you can either start off with medical practice right away or major in a specialized field. Discussed below are some of the specialised courses that medical students are qualified to apply for:
Surgery medicine is one field you can specialise in. It involves learning more about the anatomy and the various intricacies of the internal organs of the body in detail. You can further narrow down your course by choosing one particular organ such as the eye or the brain and specialise in it. Your job involves examining the patient, diagnosing his condition and operating on the body to surgically remove the source of the problem. Getting a degree, MD in surgery medicine boosts your credibility and influence in the medical community.
Dentistry is a brand of medical science that deals with oral care and surgical treatment of teeth. From fixing the alignment to dealing with cavities you have to do it all. The MD in dentistry course involves learning all about the various dental disorders and infections that can possibly happen inside the mouth. It also covers a section about treating disorders relating to gums, and soft tissues inside the mouth. You’ll also have to study about the many surgical operations and high powered medicine.
Neurology as the name suggests deals with nerves. The syllabus is a detailed account of the different nerves and their functions in the human body. Most neurologists are also physiotherapists who plan out proper exercises that help bring sensation back to dead nerves. Neurology also involves a bit of psychiatrist study. As a neurologist you’ll have to diagnose and treat nervous disorders relating to the brain and the nervous system.
Other than these major courses mentioned above, there are other equally lucrative medical fields that you can choose from. For instance, an MD in paediatrician qualifies you to treat babies and young kids. Studying cardiology trains you to identify and treat heart problems. A dermatologist deals with skin abnormalities and infections. A course in gynaecology includes diagnosing and treating the disorders in the female reproductive system. All these areas of study require a basic MBBS degree and offer high pay packages.
There are many medical students who take up internships at established hospitals and ten join the topmost medical institutions as doctors and surgeons. But not everyone who takes up a medical course ends up being a doctor, there are students who continue their academic studies and venture out in the field of research. A relatively unknown yet interesting course, medical research involves a lot of effort and patience.
The bottom line:
Medical science is a sector full of opportunities. And there are loads of other major and auxiliary degree courses that you can opt for. Consider your field of interest and the practicality of the course before you apply for it.

Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, is currently restructuring its business and in doing so, it has made its Redmi sub-brand independent. The Redmi brand will now handle cost-effective smartphones while Xiaomi is moving over to the high-end market where its smartphones will come with all the top-notch features but it won’t be cheap anymore. Redmi has started well with the release of the Redmi Note 7. This smartphone comes with a 48MP camera, 18 months long warranty, 660, 4000mAh battery, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and many more features all for 999 yuan ($148).
Nevertheless, the birth of the Redmi brand will have some effects on the Mi brand, especially in its pricing. Wang Teng, the product director of Xiaomi reminded everyone to take advantage of its current price cut and get the Xiaomi Mi 8 and the newly released Redmi Note 7. He said that since Redmi is now focusing on the cost-effective devices, Xiaomi will move on to the high-end smartphones and there will be no more cheap prices for the Xiaomi Mi 8 and its likes. The current price of the Xiaomi Mi 8 is the lowest it can get and if anything, the company will probably increase the price.
As a flagship model, the price/performance ratio of the Xiaomi Mi 8 has been well-received. Recently, it has dropped to 2,399 yuan ($355). It is generally regarded as the most worthy phones in the market. As of now, Xiaomi is conducting an in-depth discussion and decision-making on the positioning of Xiaomi and Redmi. In the future, the situation of Xiaomi’s mobile phone will change greatly.

Has anyone ever examined what culture really is?
What is culture other than man-made rules that dictate how one should behave and live. Dead men made most of it up. Culture can compromise individuality so that when someone is authentic and living to the beat of their own drum, they are marginalized. Individuals are a minority and they receive the least amount of tolerance; you see no social justice warriors fighting for their cause.
“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”
I am not sure if the word “culture” came from “cult”, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were.
“Mass culture is a control mechanism that devalues the individual. It is aimed solely at promoting collectivism. It seeks to enforce the dependence of the individual human on a collective group and the priority of group ideologies over individual life paths. It is, at the base level, the very heart of socialism, communism, fascism and totalitarianism. It employs nationalistic impulses to setup polarities of antagonism that exclusively benefits a set of ruling elites. At the top level, the elites fully comprehend that there are no distinct nations, ideologies or cultural imperatives to speak of. To them, there is only power and no power.”
~ Neil Kramer
“Most people have NO idea that the vast majority of their current thoughts and beliefs were designed by others and put out there into cult-ure to become your present understanding about life and your place in it — this is known as “programming”.
Just as you would put code into a computer to make it perform as you want it to, the culture-makers are putting out code to make YOU perform the way the controllers want you to perform. If you take on the beliefs of cult-ture, then you are programmed, which means none of your beliefs and few of your thoughts and understandings are your own. Scary thought isn’t it?
Now is the time to examine all your current beliefs about EVERYTHING, and if our cult-ure makers are pushing a meme over and over, you can be sure you are being subjected to programming…..NOW is the time to break with that programming and think for yourself. Please note that all knee-jerk responses are likely to be programming….examine why you are emotionally responding the way you are and ask yourself ‘who’ would gain the most from your emotional response in this moment. You? Or the cult-ure makers?”
– Mallorie Ryan
Culture exists everywhere and we place value judgments on some cultures depending on the country, celebrating some and mocking others when in reality, they are just different. No culture is better, just different. If we really look at the meat of any culture from any nation, we might notice that they have no basis in logic or love. It’s rather a game of “Follow the Leader” Why must we do this? “Because they said so, that’s why”. For something to be truly healthy for society, the individual needs to be honored and respected. When the individual is embraced, the collective should blossom. Culture should be replaced with freedom and autonomy.


text: A first rate job, the best thing Mr. Mason has given us for years. It is an 18th century historical romance, the colorful rendering of the love of Sophia Dorothea of Zell and Hanover, wife of George Louis who afterwards became George I of England, and of Philip Konigsmark. They were parted as children -- Philip fled England -- and years later returned and fell passionately and tragically in love with the unattainable. He manages to infuse the old story with a sense of mounting excitement, he embroiders a rich pattern of court intrigue and palace policies. A book that should appeal to the modern parallel of the Ouida fans.

Brief Fact Summary.
The Government attempts to raise an affirmative defense post-trial after the judgements are entered in two cases where it was sued for medical malpractice.
Synopsis of Rule of Law.
Under FRCP 8(c) if affirmative defenses are not pleaded in a timely manner, they are waived.
A party may file a rule 60(b) motion at any time within one year after judgment, even if an appeal is pending, and the denial of that motion is appealable separately from the underlying judgment.View Full Point of Law
Plaintiff Ingraham receives spinal damage from an Air Force surgeon, brings suit and is awarded damages in the amount of $1,264,000. Plaintiff Jocelyn Bonds was the patient of a botched cesarean section that caused her daughter, Plaintiff Stephanie, to have brain damage. Plaintiffs Jocelyn and Stephanie are also awarded damages in the amount of $750,000 and $3,490,555.60 respectively. The causes of action of both Plaintiffs arose after the enactment of the Medical Liability and Insurance Improvement Act of Texas (Malpractice Act) which capped medical malpractice damages at $500,000. The Government however did not try to raise this affirmative defense until after the damages were awarded in both cases.
Does an affirmative defense have to be pleaded before judgement is entered?
Yes, if an affirmative defense is not pleaded in a timely manner it is waived and the defendant may not challenge liability based on that defense. Holding of the lower court if affirmed.

Five Scotland-based photographers are to have their work featured in a book celebrating the best of UK press photography during this year.
And among the quintet, Kieran Dodds just missed out in winning one of 15 category prizes that were up for grabs at the Press Photographer's Year competition: he was instead highly commended in the multimedia category.
Dodds was joined by fellow members of the Scottish Press Photographers' Association – Jeff Mitchell, Mark Mainz, John Linton and Robert Ormerod – in having work chosen for the book.
Mitchell was selected for the book, in the features category; the same category that has seen Mainz also recognised. Linton's recognition was in news, while Ormerod's selection was in the photo essay category.
All five are members of the Scottish Press Photographers' Association. A sixth – England-based Chris Furlong – has had his work also selected, in the arts category.
This is the sixth year of the competition and from 8000 entries, some 136 photographs have been chosen for the book.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge posted an unseen image of their family as well as a throwback photo of Princess Diana with William and Harry, and Kate’s mother Carole Middleton holding her as a baby.
In one previously unreleased photo, Kate is seen giving Princess Charlotte a piggyback while William carries Prince George.
‘To mothers new and old and families spending today together and apart – we are thinking of you all at this difficult time,’ they wrote in the post.
The couple also shared a colourful card made by Prince George, six, for Kate this Mother’s Day. It includes a yellow vase with three red flowers crafted out of tissue paper.
The royal family also shared a message on Sunday, praising ‘mothers and caregivers’ alongside a black and white image of the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, in 1951 with her mother, Queen Elizabeth, holding onto their hats as they arrived at Westminster Abbey for a wedding.
‘Today may be a different and difficult day for those who would usually plan to spend time with their mothers, as we adapt to the necessary changes and disruption to our normal routine and regular patterns of life,’ the Instagram post read.
‘But for all Mums everywhere, we are thinking of you, and wish you all a very special #mothersday.’
Just days ago, Kate and William visited an NHS 111 call centre in Croydon, south London where they praised the selfless dedication of frontline health workers.
William said: ‘The last few weeks, and more recent days, have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus.
‘But it’s at times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society – people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good.
‘Not only are NHS staff and emergency workers responding to the needs of the public, they – like the rest of us – are concerned about their families, friends and loved ones. ‘They need our support as much as we need theirs.’

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan—There is excitement and enthusiasm among the senior leadership of the military now that Sgt Bowe Bergdahl, the only U.S. soldier held as a prisoner of war, is on his way home. But among rank-and-file troops at Bagram Air Field on Sunday, there was much more ambivalence.
Some said it was important the military made sure it was leaving no one behind before leaving Afghanistan. Others said they have paid no attention to the news, focusing only on their jobs. Some said there were unanswered questions that many soldiers had about the circumstances of Sgt. Bergdahl's 2009 disappearance from his forward operating base in Paktika. Other soldiers questioned the need to free five Taliban leaders to secure Sgt. Bergdahl's release.
At the top ranks of the military in Afghanistan, the enthusiasm appeared genuine. When he received the news and told his senior leaders that Sgt. Bergdahl was free, Gen. Joe Dunford, the top commander, in Afghanistan said he almost started to choke up.
"It was pretty extraordinary," Gen. Dunford said. "It has been almost five years and he is home."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel arrived for a two-hour stop at Bagram and met briefly with some of the elite special-operations forces who brought back Sgt. Bergdahl from a group of Taliban officials. Speaking before a group of more than 200 troops, Mr. Hagel thanked those "who had something to do with that effort" to bring back Sgt. Bergdahl.
"This is a happy day as you all know, for our country, for our armed forces, because we got one of our own back," Mr. Hagel said.
There was no applause or whoops from the troops at Mr. Hagel's comments and no sense of excitement in the crowd. Senior officers said later the enlisted service members were intimidated by a visit by the Secretary of Defense.
Conversations with soldiers before Mr. Hagel spoke showed varying degrees of ambivalence or uncertainty. Army Master Sgt. George Isla said he barely discussed the news of Sgt. Bergdahl's release, focusing only on his job working on communications in a military signals company.
Other noncommissioned officers described debates among the soldiers in their units about the motivation for then Pfc. Bergdahl's decision to walk off the base five years ago. Staff Sgt. Justin Pack said his soldiers all had their own opinions about Sgt. Bergdahl but he was telling them not to jump to conclusions about him and not to judge him before they learned his full story.
Sgt. Pack said he was personally glad Sgt. Bergdahl's family was going to be reunited with their son. As with his soldiers, he was anxious to hear Sgt. Bergdahl's account of why he walked off the base.
"With anything like this there are a lot of unanswered questions. A lot of people want to learn his side of the story," Sgt. Pack said.
Spc. Douglas Lewis acknowledged the ambivalence some soldiers feel that five members of the Taliban leadership were released to free Sgt. Bergdahl. But he said the U.S. government had no choice.
The Army creed, Spc. Lewis noted, emphasized the importance or not leaving a comrade behind. And, he said, it is critical for the Army to live up to that ethos.
"You can't leave Afghanistan knowing you left a single U.S. soldier behind," Spc. Lewis said. "That is just the way it is."

HMIL announces its sales report for September 2021. The company mentioned that it sold a total of 45,791 units for the given months. This breaks down as 33,087 units for the domestic market and 12,704 units for exports. In September 2020, the carmaker had registered a total sales of 59,913 units. And when compared to the September 2021 figure, it translates to a growth of -23.6 per cent. The domestic sales for September 2020 stood at 50,313 units, which translates to -34.2 per cent growth when compared to September 2020.
Interestingly, the export figures have risen from 9,600 units in September 2020 to 12,704 units for September 2021. Thus creating a growth of 32.3 per cent. Hyundai mentioned that the growing shortage of semiconductor supply is now adversely affecting vehicle production. This is leading to low vehicle production, thus resulting in below-par sales figures.

The recent launch of the Hyundai i20 N Line has created a significant buzz in the market. The launch largely depicts Hyundai India’s innovation in terms of marketing and advertising. The unique concept of Creator’s Arena used for the launch of the Hyundai i20 N Line perfectly proves the company’s dedication to the Indian market. In the era of digitalization, Hyundai India has incorporated a host of online services and initiatives. Customer-centric additions like these go a long way in winning the customers’ trust, thus resulting in higher sales volume.
Hyundai Motor Group Planning New Electric Vehicle For India
With the growing demand for EVs in the market, it is now just a matter of time that Hyundai enters this segment more aggressively. Even though the carmaker already has a product, in the form of the Kona EV, that does not fit the puzzle. Reportedly Hyundai, along with Kia is planning to add 6 EVs by 2024 in India. This would be a significant boost for the development of e-mobility in the country. The future is electric, and there are no two ways about it. And almost all major automotive companies are making a shift away from conventional ICE engines.

The Fountain of Youth through an IV? What??
The Fountain of Youth through an IV? What??
Oxidative stress is the result of exposure to toxins that break down the natural defense mechanisms of our cells. These toxins can come from many environmental sources, (smoking, alcohol, processed foods, toxic chemicals, to name a few), and then there is stress. Stress causes our body to “over function” and causes many of our natural defense mechanisms to overload and put our bodies at risk for immune dysfunction, leading to illness.
Sometimes we stress-load the body via injury. Let’s think about having surgery. It can take a lot of work to heal from an injury, depending upon the severity. Compare having your eyebrows tattooed to getting a facelift. The healing time from the brow procedure is quite minimal with very little noticeable shift in our natural state of being. Maybe a day or two of some minor tenderness and a few days of some crusting, then you are basically recovered. Now think about having a facelift. You may have some anesthesia, and some other drugs to induce comfort during the procedure. There is significant trauma to the tissues from incisions, “rearranging” of the position of the underlying muscle and tissue, and sutures placed in the incision site. Our bodies automatically recognize the more severe trauma of the facelift, and we will experience more tenderness, swelling, bruising and take longer to heal overall- basically days versus weeks. However, regardless of how minor or major the injury to the body, how we heal depends upon our immune system and our cellular function, which sets the stage for how we rebound and feel 100% recovered from anything that puts us in “healing” mode. In a person with a compromised immune system, even the minor injury can take much longer to heal, and possibly not result in as optimal of an outcome. I see this quite often with permanent cosmetics. People who have healthy, elastic and well-protected skin will have quite predictable and very lovely results from their procedures. With someone who’s skin is sun damaged, does not exfoliate regularly, and does not properly maintain the health of their skin leading to a rough texture, deeper wrinkles and loss of elasticity, the results can be less than optimal and even downright disappointing. I have colleagues that will not work on clients with less than desirable skin, as they know it will affect the outcome of their work, which can be interpreted as poor work by the technician, rather than poor healing on an unhealthy canvas. After so many years of experience, I have learned there are steps that can be taken to improve the skin canvas and I will often recommend various ways to prepare the skin prior to a procedure to ensure a better outcome.
So how do we ensure optimal healing, and how does one prepare the skin cells, and the overall immune system, to be an effective helper in recovery from any trauma or illness? The number one most effective helper to our immune system and cellular recovery function is the presence of antioxidants that stop free radicals, or damaged, cells.
To understand how antioxidants work, think of them like this: antioxidants are like the selfless marine in the war movie who jumps on the grenade to save his buddies. They are the body's primary defense against oxidative stress. Healthy immune and cellular function is the reason we take vitamins and other supplements and eat healthy fresh foods that contain many antioxidants, or free radical fighters. The goal is to provide our bodies with a strong army that can defend our cells and organs and promote healthy immune systems. The same goes for our skin cells, and all modern anti-aging protocols from internal supplements to high-end skin care products, rely on the principles of antioxidants to reverse and prevent free radical damage. Long-term UVA and UVB exposure is one of those stressors to the cells that causes the good healthy cells to become weakened and unable to continue living in a healthy state. Once this occurs, we start to see changes in skin tone, texture, and elasticity (none of which are a change most of us wish to see!).
If you knew that you could call on Wonder Woman or Superman to be your personal protector, wouldn’t that be great? Anytime you needed a hand you could hit speed dial and they would come swooping in to save the day – an amazing idea, right?
When it comes to wellness and healing and recovery, you can put a special superpower to work for you. Our cells naturally produce a substance called glutathione. It is a super-power antioxidant. Glutathione is a naturally-occurring peptide produced by every cell in the human body, including immune cells. This powerhouse molecule is made up of three essential amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine.
• Glutathione improves immune function and helps fight and prevent disease
• Glutathione lightens and brightens skin by erasing hyper-pigmentation and inhibiting melanin production in cells
• Glutathione reduces inflammation
• Glutathione helps your body break down and purge fat
• Glutathione keeps your body from becoming resistant to drugs
• Glutathione promotes high energy and mental clarity
• Glutathione has anti-aging properties
• Glutathione can improve quality of sleep and combat stress from sleep apnea
• Glutathione is the ultimate detoxifier and fights oxidative stress
High glutathione levels directly correspond to overall health and function for every system in your body. Your cells make glutathione, but usually not enough to deal with the high levels of free radicals (from environmental toxins, alcohol, stress and more) we encounter daily.
Glutathione and Your Skin: Glutathione not only lightens the skin, it helps minimize and prevent dark marks, scars and age spots. Glutathione also detoxifies the liver, which results in brighter, clearer skin. Oxidative stress is a known factor in acne breakouts. Glutathione reduces the effect of free radicals in the skin and can help prevent acne, wrinkles and fine lines.
Glutathione levels decrease as we age. Certain diseases and health conditions can also reduce glutathione supplies. Low levels of glutathione are linked to poor health. This is one reason why people are more likely to develop various health problems as they get older.
Health problems can cause decreased glutathione. You can also fail to produce enough glutathione due to genetic deficiencies and lack of the necessary enzymes.
Replenishing glutathione helps treat the symptoms of many health problems associated with low levels of this important antioxidant. It helps in cellular recovery specific to healing.
Why Choose Glutathione Intravenous Treatment?
Studies show eating or drinking glutathione supplements is not an effective way of increasing your blood levels of glutathione.
Glutathione IV infusion bypasses your digestive tract and delivers the powerful antioxidant directly to your bloodstream where it can do the most good. High levels of glutathione in your blood are carried to your brain, heart, lungs, muscle tissue and everywhere in your body so your cells can benefit from glutathione’s detoxifying and protective properties.
There are some supplements shown to boost your body’s own production of glutathione:
• Vitamin C (taking Vitamin C with Glutathione can also increase absorption)
• Vitamin E
How well your body absorbs the supplement and produces glutathione depends on your unique body chemistry, age, health and many other factors. The best way to ensure you’re getting maximum absorption and the full benefits of glutathione is with an IV infusion.
Changing your diet can help with overall immune function, and adding key nutrients, vitamins and minerals found in healthy, organic and unprocessed food sources is the cornerstone to optimal health, including the health and appearance of our skin. However, glutathione (the most powerful of the antioxidants) is not easily absorbed from food, and supplements that pass through the digestive system often lose their strength and efficacy.
Other Benefits of Glutathione:
Brain health and moods: People diagnosed with depression, OCD, ADHD, and schizophrenia have low glutathione levels
During and after cancer treatments: Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, helping the body remove excess free radicals. Stress and sickness can cause your body’s glutathione levels to become depleted very quickly.
When you’re sick or dealing with the side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, decrease, and change in appetite can make getting enough of this important nutrient nearly impossible.
Supplementing your diet with IV glutathione infusions can help repair cells damaged by cancer treatments. Many cancer survivors using IV therapy report improving their quality of life much faster than by relying on glutathione from food alone.
Now that you know more about glutathione IV treatments and the many benefits, here is the exciting part!
We are now offering, in partnership with the Zelken Institute, Glutathione and combination IV therapies with glutathione. You can come in for your permanent makeup procedure and have an IV at the same time! You can experience both the recovery and overall health benefits of an intravenous injection of these powerful antioxidants.
Just let us know when you book your next appointment that you would like to add on an IV therapy! If you wish to schedule just the IV, you may phone the front desk at the Zelken Institute by calling (949) 432-4730.

The Automated Drilling System for Wing Panel 2010-01-1827
To eliminate the errors occurring in the wing panel assembly process and resulting in the drilling holes out of tolerance, the automated drilling system is designed. The camera and the normality sensors are integrated into the drill head. The system has a profit of more consistent holes that are more accurately placed.
This paper presents the automated drilling system as a viable alternative to conventional assembly drilling and provides the technical description of a cost effective design which results in flexibility, time and cost savings and consistency in results.

Walk into any bookstore, and you’ll likely find a section marked “Science Fiction and Fantasy” with the latest hardcover and paperback reads displayed; and it’s now a common thing to come across someone reading an SF/F book. This hasn’t always been the case, however. As we’ve seen in earlier columns, dedicated science fiction got its start in pulp magazines, ranging from Amazing Stories to Astounding Science Fiction, with authors such as Edgar Rice Burroughs and E.E. "Doc" Smith writing serialized stories. Following World War II, the marketplace for fiction began to shift, with cheaper paperbacks growing in popularity over the magazines which they replaced. Short fiction authors such as A.E. Van Vogt began to take their fiction and expand it into a novel length works to compete with the shifting formats around them.
Alfred Elton van Vogt was born in Winnipeg, Canada, on April 26th, 1912, growing up as an introverted child who fell in love with reading early on. At the age of 14, he picked up the November 1926 issue of Hugo Gernsback’s Amazing Stories, and began reading every issue from then on. He noted that “reading science fiction lifted me out of the do-be-and-have world and gave me glimpses backward and forward into the time and space distances of the universe.” He fell in love with the stories of E.E. “Doc” Smith and A. Merritt. Unable to afford college, he entered the workforce and took a creative writing course, and then began writing stories for women’s magazines, selling his first story to a magazine called True Story in 1932. After a while, he decided to return to his original love: science fiction. Inspired by John W. Campbell Jr.’s story “Who Goes There?,” he wrote up a similar story and sent it to the editor at Astounding Science Fiction. His first published short story, however, was “The Black Destroyer,” about an alien monster that boards the space ship Beagle and begins to kill off its crew. The story was featured as the cover story in the Campbell’s landmark July 1939 issue of Astounding, where it promptly became one of the most popular stories published by the magazine.
“The Black Destroyer” drew upon Oswald Spengler’s work The Decline of the West, which postulates that civilizations evolve and change like organisms, and is quoted by one of the ship’s archaeologists, Korita, in the story. Fittingly, the story came on the centennial of Charles Darwin’s Beagle voyage in 1939. Bolstered by the success of the first story, van Vogt decided to return to the world of “The Black Destroyer” and rewrote his first story, “Vault of the Beast.” Retitled “Discord in Scarlet,” it was published in the December 1939 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. It would be four years before Van Vogt returned to the Beagle setting, publishing “M 33 in Andromeda” in Astounding’s August 1943 issue. A final story, “War of Nerves,” found a home in Other Worlds magazine in May 1950.
Over the course of the late 1920s through the 1940s, pulp magazines reigned supreme. Cheaper printing techniques, excellent distribution networks and a readership with a higher disposable income led to hundreds of niche-genre magazines throughout the United States. The proliferation of titles are frequently maligned for their lackluster quality and abysmal pay rates for authors, but were responsible for sparking the careers of hundreds of authors during the Golden Age of Science Fiction. The bubble eventually popped, and by the end of World War II, new changes in printing technology brought the paperback novel to bear. In response, readers began to abandon the pulp magazine market for the paperback novel market.
This left many science fiction authors caught in a hard place: Many had come to depend on the large number of magazines on the market that would pay them for their work, and as readership declined, so too did the places in which to publish original fiction. The result was an innovative solution: repackage a number of preexisting short stories by adding to or rewriting portions of them to work together as a single story. This type of book, coined a “fix-up” by van Vogt, became a popular outlet product for science fiction authors, including Isaac Asimov (Foundation, I, Robot), Ray Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451), Leigh Brackett (Alpha Centauri or Die!), Jack Vance (The Dying Earth) and, of course, A.E. van Vogt.
In 1950, van Vogt put the four stories together into a novel titled The Voyage of the Space Beagle, which followed the adventures of a spaceship frequently under attack by alien threats, alongside internal crew divisions. The science fiction dictionary Brave New Worlds defines a “fix-up” novel as “[a] novel composed of previously-written shorter works, frequently with additional material to smooth the transitions between novels.”
The Voyage of the Space Beagle is just one representative example of the “fix-up” novel, and it wasn’t van Vogt’s last: Additional fix-ups include The Mixed Men, The Weapons Shops of Isher, War Against the Rull, The Beast, Rogue Ship and others. By the mid-1950s, dedicated publishers such as Ace and Ballantine had begun to take advantage of the marketability of a paperback novel, introducing their own lines of original novels that drew in a new generation of authors throughout the middle of the century.
Van Vogt’s reputation in the genre has flagged over the years. Adam Roberts notes that he “has few champions among academic critics of the genre; many dismiss as merely incoherent his intricately but discontinuously plotted novels.” To be sure, The Voyage of the Space Beagle is an exuberant novel that feels as though it’s more at home with television science fiction than that of its literary counterparts from the era. Critics have noted that there are similarities between the book and the planet-of-the-episode television shows such as Star Trek. Additionally, van Vogt won an out-of-court settlement from 20th Century Fox over the film Alien, a movie which shares some similarities with his book.
While the novel lacks the critical weight of other fix-up books, it’s a good, representative example of the transition that the publishing industry faced at the time, and how its authors adapted. It’s a lesson that’s well-worth looking closely at, as the entire publishing industry faces new technological challenges and disruptions from the likes of self-publishing and micro-press platforms.

On Saturday, 17th February 2018, the Ministry of Labour and the Grand Bahama Department of Labour will host “Labour on the Blocks” at the Susan J. Wallace Park at Columbus Drive and Nansen Avenue on Saturday, 17th February from 11:00am to 4:00pm. Senator Dion A. Foulkes, Minister of Labour, along with Senior Executives from the Department of Labour will be in attendance. The “Labour on the Blocks” initiative was announced during the debate on the Speech from the Throne by the Labour Minister and it is designed to bring together job seekers and employers at locations which are in or close to residential communities. Additionally, all job seekers are registered in the Department’s database. The staff of the Public Employment Services Unit (PES) of the Department of Labour is the lead organizers of the events. So far two successful “Labour on the Blocks” have been held in New Providence.
The Ministry of Labour is very pleased with the turnout at the New Providence events and is confident that there will be great numbers of persons who will attend the Grand Bahama “Labour on the Blocks” event. To date, the Minister of Labour has noted that he is “very pleased with the level of private sector participation” from all sectors and industries. Businesses are welcome to participate in the “Labour on the Blocks” initiatives, many of whom have hired job seekers on the spot in New Providence. Minister Foulkes notes that “this speaks to the effectiveness of this new initiative, which is providing hope and opportunity for job seekers. The same is anticipated for Grand Bahama on 17th February’’. The Ministry of Labour intends to host monthly “Labour on the Blocks” events throughout The Bahamas, including other Family Island communities.
Economic growth and job creation remain one of the leading priorities of the Government, and the “Labour on the Blocks” is successfully answering the needs of job seekers as well as employers in effectively connecting eligible candidates with the right jobs. The Department of Labour encourages all job seekers in The Bahamas or abroad, and employers with vacancies to register within the Department’s recruitment database: jobseekers.bahamas.gov.bs
Persons attending the “Labour on the Blocks” Job Fairs are asked to bring along their NIB Card, and a valid Government-issued ID such as a passport or voters card. Registering in the database in advance is also recommended.

I'm inviting you to a bean feast -- that's what the Brits call that big company dinner when we gather to celebrate or because we have to. This'll be the bean feast to end all bean feasts, the dinner party of a lifetime. The United Nations has declared 2016 to be the International Year of Pulses (that's beans to you and me).
As an unabashed bean-lover, this alone has me revved for 2016, but the new year's shaping up to be amazing for other reasons, too. Veganuary, the start-the-year vegan jumpstart, is back. The world's leaders came together at last and agreed to take action against climate change. Details to come, but they've agreed to work together so the world will have a viable future. We have to step it up for the planet, too. So where do beans come in?
Beans are nature's little powerhouses of plant-based protein, they're cheap, sustaining and sustainable. They take less water to grow and emit far fewer greenhouse gases than meat production does. Beans are among our first crops, we've been living on them since the dawn of civilization and we need to keep the party going. Our focus on a meat-based diet has been chipping away at the place we call home. The most revolutionary thing we can do is to take animals off the table. Beans, with their satisfying, almost meaty chew, are the perfect alternative. From classic Egyptian ful to New Orleans RBR (red beans and rice), every culture has a bean recipe to that fills the belly and stretches the budget. They're the most versatile thing in your kitchen, the little black dress of cuisine.
As I write in my book, "Feeding the Hungry Ghost: Life, Faith and What to Eat for Dinner," "Change your diet, change your life, change the world." We can do it. We have to. So break out the beans. A bean feast offers a low-cost, low-carbon banquet that feeds everyone. Wishing you a happy International Year of Pulses.
I love kissing on New Year's Eve, but just as much, I love this humble combination of rice, black-eyed peas and collards on New Year's Day. Legend has it eating Hopping John promises the new year will be lucky. I can attest it also absorbs any yuck from excessive New Year's Eve partying. Flavor improves over time and Hopping John reheats like a dream. Serve with hot sauce for a happy, lucky, abundant new year.
1 cup black eyed peas
3 cups of water
6 cloves garlic
1 dried hot pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup brown rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 jalapeño, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 big bunch collard greens, sliced into thin ribbons
juice of 1 lemon
sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Soak beans in a bowl of cold water for 4 hours or up to overnight. Drain peas.
In a large pot, bring 3 cups of water to boil over high heat. Add black-eyed peas, 2 cloves of garlic (whole), pepper and bay leaf. Skim off any floating beans.
Reduce heat to low. Simmer beans uncovered for an hour and a half until beans are tender, not mushy.
Add brown rice and the vegetable broth. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, but leave the pot on the burner.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, jalapeño, celery and the remaining 4 garlic cloves, chopped. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables soften.
Reduce heat to medium. Add greens by the handful, and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
Fluff rice and beans, remove whole garlic, dried pepper and bay leaf. Fold in collard mixture.
Squeeze in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Project: Evaluation of an optimised auditory evoked potential technique (AEP) for neuro-otological differential diagnosis (Stacked ABR) and a new AEP technique for electrophysiological thereshold determination (Multiple ASSR)
- project duration
- 01-JAN-05 – 31-DEC-07
- The project serves a twofold objective. In the neuro-otological domain, we investigate by means of the so-called Stacked derived band ABR-methodology, showing an enhanced sensitivity for all neural frequency zones, both sensitivity and specificity of this method to detect vestibular schwannoma's of about 1 mm or less. The audiological part of the project is based on the measurement of Multiple ASSR's and will determine their predictive value concerning behavioural auditory theresholds in an adult population suffering from various peripheral auditory disorders.


As diverse as the musical backgrounds the four Hamburg-based guys hail from, would be the long list of influences that helped shape them. Ultimately you will find elements from almost any style and let's face it: The band does not reinvent the wheel. But the first listen instantly reveals the genuine passion inherent in every single one of their songs.
They do not write by the book and every song is a reflection of their individual situations. You can never categorize Die Heart as strictly punk rock, hardcore or glam rock.
Just listen to the band and decide for yourselves, where you put it musically and discover, how it affects you. "We'd like for people to listen to our music and identify with it or at least be encouraged to contemplate it." - Niels (vocals) Whether you see them live or put on their record that shall be the moment when the four of them, the club, and especially the audience on any given day, that week, or their entire lives can just enjoy the moment, leave everything behind and let their emotions run free. Rough, bold, fierce, dirty, rousing, no-frills, no-gimmicks, in-your-face, energetic, uncompromising and straight from Hamburg City- to list just a few ways to describe Die Heart's music.
Their brutally honest lyrics wrap nothing in pretty, yet ambiguous or incomprehensive wording.
"Direct words that release and reflect direct emotions", are what singer and lyricist Niels skillfully goes for. In a world where "more is more" only their music holds real value for these passionate musicians.
Every one of them is a real Die Heart-fan of music as such and the way it connects people, regardless of who they are or where they come from, hence the name. "By no other means have I up to this point been able to experience the kind of emotions our music evokes in me." - Nille (bass) On 04/21/2017 barely a year after releasing their first EP ALL FOR ONE digitally via NoCut / SPV the band releases their first longplayer Stay Heart, which was recorded at the Hafenklang Studios, Hamburg at the end of 2016 under the direction of Marc Schettler .
This album reflects everything that makes out the four musicians and by using guitars right from the old punkrock-scene, bass-lines in the style of Deftones, drums from the depths of the hardcore scene and vocals in the 90s NY hardcore-style it brings you back to the beginnings of the hardcore .
Fans of Sick Of It All, Terror and many more will definitely get their money's worth on this album! stay heart. Tour dates:
14.04. Berlin - Privatclub
15.04. Hannover - Lux
16.04. Köln - MTC

text: Read this in one of the interviews on Bob Babbit's site (in the Articles section) "By watching Jamerson, I saw certain things that he did that would tell me how he would play other lines. We both came from upright bass. And, the difference between upright bass and electric bass is that on the upright bass, you don't use the third finger on your left hand until your one octive up. Whereas on a guitar or electric bass, you're using one, two, three, and, four. So that explains a lot of things about his bass playing and how he went about doing certain things." I've never played upright, so maybe someone could explain this to me? I love Jamerson's bass playing so understanding how he did is really interesting to me.

Restaurant review: Don't skip dessert at Saadiyat's Si Ristorante Italiano & Bar
If you have a sweet tooth and a love of pasta, this Abu Dhabi restaurant is a must-try
Tucked away in a corner of the grand Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas is Si Ristorante Italiano & Bar. The restaurant serves up a seriously extensive selection of Italian classics, and is gaining quite a reputation on Abu Dhabi’s foodie island.
Where to sit and what to expect
For such a vast restaurant, Si Ristorante has plenty of intimate spots. Along the back of the dining room, you’ll find a number of plush teal velvet circular booths, perfect for a catch-up with friends or family. For the foodies, we’d suggest one of the high tables overlooking the open kitchen, where you can watch the chefs in action as they load freshly made dough into the stone bread oven or intricately put the finishing touches to decadent desserts.
While Si Ristorante boasts an outdoor terrace, overlooking Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas, we were seated inside, in what felt a bit like the restaurant’s main walk-through. On the Monday evening we visited, it is bustling, with quiet jazz music adding to the atmosphere.
Although the restaurant only opened its doors last summer, its menu had a makeover this April. The revised offerings were tweaked by executive sous chef Massimo Bucca, who wanted to bring a more authentic Sicilian flavour to the food. The result is dishes that focus on fresh, Mediterranean produce that better reflects the food Bucca grew up on. Among the new menu items are scorpion fish, tuna tartar and Mediterranean-style mussels.
We’d suggest devoting some time to studying the extensive menu. Alongside a selection of starters ranging from grilled octopus (a bestseller) and beef carpaccio to lamb meatballs and chicken liver pate, diners are also offered a selection of sharing platters from the cured meat and cheese section, and that’s before the 10 dishes on offer from its speciality mozzarella bar.
After some tough decision-making, we opt for the oven-baked eggplant involtini and fried mozzarella di bufala to start. The rolled eggplant is stuffed with creamy ricotta, baked until tender and topped with melted Parmesan and a sweet tomato sauce. It is tasty, light and extremely moreish. The fried mozzarella balls are coated in a light batter, and served on a bed of mushroom dip and truffle oil, which, although tasty, was a little too runny and could have packed more of a punch. Still, the mozzarella itself was fresh and piping hot.
For mains, I fight the temptation of the extensive pizza and seafood offerings, and stick with an Italian staple – fettuccine alla Bolognese, a solid marker for any good Italian restaurant. It comes with a chunky, meaty sauce that blends perfectly the richness of the beef with the sweetness of the tomatoes. It's Bolognese exactly how you’d want it; my only complaint is that my server could have been more generous with the Parmesan, even after I asked for more once she’d stopped grating the first time.
We also try the risotto ai funghi, one of the most popular vegetarian dishes on the menu, which didn’t defer too far from the tradition Italian recipe. It is rich, creamy, with a depth of flavour from the variety of mushroom used, topped with a nutty Parmesan.
Considering we don't exactly hold back on the first two courses, by the time dessert is discussed, we almost pass. But after a few minutes to let our food go down, we take our server's recommendation and go for the tiramisu and mini cannolis – and thank goodness we do.
Even for someone who doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, the desserts are the star of Si Ristorante’s show. The tiramisu is huge – easily enough to share, although it would be tempting to finish off on your own, should you have the space. The sweetness of the cream is perfectly offset by the bitter coffee, while the sponge base is moist, rich and perfectly balanced.
The cannolis, crisp on the outside and sprinkled with icing sugar and pistachios, are stuffed with a mixture of sweetened ricotta, sharp maraschino cherries and chocolate chips, served with what might have been the best pistachio gelato I’ve ever tasted. Somehow, we find room to get through both desserts, agreeing they are hands-down the best part of the meal.
A chat with the chef
Born and raised in Taormina, Sicily, chef Bucca grew up surrounded by the flavours of the Mediterranean. He started his career there, before bringing his distinct Italian flavours to the UAE 10 years ago, working at a number of large hotels. Since starting at Si Ristorante Italino & Bar, Bucca has been striving to bring a more authentic taste of Sicily to the menu. “We have made some changes to things that were not really from Italy,” he says. “For example, our fritto misto had been tempura-style, which is more Asian, but now we are using only semolina.”
It’s important for Bucca that the seafood is fresh from the Mediterranean, with regular imports of Spanish octopus and scorpion fish. While the menu, Bucca admits, doesn’t have an extensive selection for vegans, being particularly cheese-heavy, the restaurant will always do its best to accommodate diners with any dietary requirements, if they let the chefs know ahead of time.
Price point and contact information
Your bill at Si Ristorante Italiano could vary greatly depending on your order. From the bottom end of the scale, home-made gnocchi with veal ragu will set you back Dh94, while those looking to push the boat out could opt for the grilled T-bone steak fiorentina (Dh218). The restaurant also offers complimentary bread and cheese squares to begin – a win in our book.
Si Ristorante Italiano & Bar is open daily from 1pm to 10.30pm Sunday to Wednesday, 1pm to 3.30pm for lunch on Thursday, reopening at 6.30pm for evening brunch, while on Fridays, it opens between 6pm and 10.30pm. Reservations can be made by contacting 02 697 0000.
This review was conducted at the invitation of the restaurant

i finished this skein some days ago. i’m not overly happy with it as i didn’t manage to spin the roving regularly and the single broke several times while navajo-plying. not my brightest spinning moment… but i am very fond of the colour. it’s so rich and a perfect „petrol“ = dark turquoise. 🙂
some more infos: ordered at wollfabrik, 100% australian merino, 104g, about 270m, navajo-plied.
