Reog Ponorogo

2011-06-19T04:53:00.000-07:00

Reog is a traditional Indonesian dance form. There are many types of Reogs in Indonesia, but the most notable ones are Reog Ponorogo (East Java) and Reog Sunda (West Java). Although both share a similar name, there is no connection nor similar theme among these traditions. Reog Ponorogo seems to be the kind of dance that demonstrate physical strength and extravagant lion-peafowl mask and costumes, while Reog Sunda is a lot more like a traditional musical comedy and dance.

Reog is a traditional dance that become the main identity for Ponorogo Regency. Reog National Festival is held every years along the anniversary of Ponorogo regency and Grebeg Suro celebration. Reog dance is also staged full moon nightly in paseban, Ponorogo town square. Reog told about the struggle for a prince who will propose to a beautiful princess. Reog Ponorogo tells the story of a mythical battle between the King of Ponorogo and the magical lion-like creature called Singa Barong. Singa Barong is a large mask usually made of tiger's or leopard's head skin, upon the mask attached a large fan adorned with peafowl feathers. The Singa Barong mask was notoriously heavy, the dancer of Singo Barong bear the mask about 30 – 40 kg weight and supported by the strength of their teeth.

Dance performance

The leading figures in Reog Ponorogo performance includes:

Klono Sewandono, A men in regal attire wearing mask in proud and pompous dance, play the role as the King of Ponorogo
Bujang Anom, rough youthful men wearing red mask, they performed acrobatic dances and sometimes also involved trance.
Jatil, the youthful handsome horsemen riding horses made of weaved bamboo, similar to Kuda Lumping dance. Today Jatil usually performed by female dancers.
Warok, played as Singa Barong, the mythical creature. The one that allowed to performed this mask dance is called warok. A warok is the hororary title of local hero or strongman of the village that possessed both exceptional spiritual and phyisical strength. The dance itself is demonstration of phyisical strength of the dancers.

Reog Ponorogo usually consists of three sets of dances; each dance is performed by several dancers:

The first dance is the opening dance, performed by Bujang Anom, male dancers wearing black costumes. The costume describe rough men with intimidating moustache and other masculinity symbols.
The second dance is the Jaran Kepang dance performed by Jatil; it is originally performed by a gemblak, a handsome and youthful teenage boy wearing colourful costumes. Today the female dancers were usually played this role.
The third dance is the main attraction of the show; it is performed by all the Reog dancers. The warok as the main male dancer, wearing a large and heavy lion mask, dances in the centre of the stage while the other dancers dance around him. To demonstrate the warok's extraordinary strength Jatil or female dancers riding on top of lion mask and being carried around.

Controversy

The origins and cultural ownership of the Reog Ponorogo dance have been the subject of a dispute between the neighboring countries of Indonesia and Malaysia, whose ethnic, cultural and religious histories overlap and share many similarities. Mostly because there is numerous descendants of Javanese immigrants in Malaysia, especially in Johor state, and they brought many Javanese-origin artforms such as Wayang, Reog and Kuda Lumping.

MEDITATION (JAVA MEDITATION)

2011-06-17T18:54:00.000-07:00

Meditation refers to any of a family of practices in which the practitioner trains his or her mind or self-induces a mode of consciousness in order to realize some benefit.

Meditation is generally an internally-invoked, personal practice, which an individual can do by themselves. Prayer beads or other ritual objects may be used during meditation. Meditation may involve invoking or cultivating a feeling or internal state, such as compassion, or attending to a specific focal point. The term can refer to the state itself, as well as to practices or techniques employed to cultivate the state.

There are dozens or more specific styles of meditation practice; the word meditation may carry different meanings in different contexts. Meditation has been practiced since antiquity as a component of numerous religious traditions, especially, in Western countries, in monastic settings. In the Eastern spiritual traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, meditation is more commonly a practice engaged in by many, if not most, believers.

A 2007 study by the U.S. government found that nearly 9.4% of U.S. adults (over 20 million) had practiced meditation within the past 12 months, up from 7.6% (more than 15 million people) in 2002.

Since the 1960s, meditation has been the focus of increasing scientific research of uneven rigor and quality. In over 1,000 published research studies, various methods of meditation have been linked to changes in metabolism, blood pressure, brain activation, and other bodily processes.Meditation has been used in clinical settings as a method of stress and pain reduction.

Islam

A Muslim is obliged to pray five times a day: once before sunrise, at noon, in the afternoon, after sunset, and once at night. During prayer a Muslim focuses and meditates on God by reciting the Qur'an and engaging in dhikr to reaffirm and strengthen the bond between Creator and creation, with the purpose of guiding the soul to truth.Such meditation is intended to help maintain a feeling of spiritual peace, in the face of whatever challenges work, social or family life may present.

The five daily acts of peaceful prayer are to serve as a template and inspiration for conduct during the rest of the day, transforming it, ideally, into one single and sustained meditation: even sleep is to be regarded as but another phase of that sustained meditation.

Meditative quiescence is said to have a quality of healing, and—in contemporary terminology—enhancing creativity. The Islamic prophet Muhammad spent sustained periods in contemplation and meditation. It was during one such period that Muhammad began to receive the revelations of the Qur'an.

Following are the styles, or schools, of meditation in the Muslim traditions:

Tafakkur or tadabbur, literally means reflection upon the universe: this is considered to permit access to a form of cognitive and emotional development that can emanate only from the higher level, i.e. from God. The sensation of receiving divine inspiration awakens and liberates both heart and intellect, permitting such inner growth that the apparently mundane actually takes on the quality of the infinite. Muslim teachings embrace life as a test of one's submission to God.
Meditation in the Sufi traditions is largely based on a spectrum of mystical exercises, varying from one lineage to another. Such techniques, particularly the more audacious, can be, and often have been down the ages, a source of controversy among scholars. One broad group of ulema, followers of the great Al-Ghazzali, for example, have in general been open to such techniques and forms of devotion, while another such group, those who concur with the Ibn Taymiya, reject and generally condemn such procedures as species of bid'ah (Arabic: بدعة) or mere innovation.

Numerous Sufi traditions place emphasis upon a meditative procedure similar in its cognitive aspect to one of the two principal approaches to be found in the Buddhist traditions: that of the concentration technique, involving high-intensity and sharply focused introspection. In the Oveyssi-Shahmaghsoudi Sufi order, for example, this is particularly evident, where muraqaba takes the form of tamarkoz, the latter being a Persian term that means.

BATIK

2011-06-13T04:11:00.000-07:00

Batik is a cloth that traditionally uses a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. Batik or fabrics with the traditional batik patterns are found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, China, Azerbaijan, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal, and Singapore.
Javanese traditional batik, especially from Yogyakarta and Surakarta, has notable meanings rooted to the Javanese conceptualization of the universe. Traditional colours include indigo, dark brown, and white, which represent the three major Hindu Gods (Brahmā, Visnu, and Śiva). This is related to the fact that natural dyes are most commonly available in indigo and brown. Certain patterns can only be worn by nobility; traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines of greater width indicated higher rank. Consequently, during Javanese ceremonies, one could determine the royal lineage of a person by the cloth he or she was wearing.

Other regions of Indonesia have their own unique patterns that normally take themes from everyday lives, incorporating patterns such as flowers, nature, animals, folklore or people. The colours of pesisir batik, from the coastal cities of northern Java, is especially vibrant, and it absorbs influence from the Javanese, Arab, Chinese and Dutch cultures. In the colonial times pesisir batik was a favourite of the Peranakan Chinese, Dutch and Eurasians.

UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009. As part of the acknowledgment, UNESCO insisted that Indonesia preserve their heritage.

A Javanese (right) with dagger scabbard (sheath). The keris is a dagger stabbing weapon group (pointed and sharp on both sides) with a function known in the local culture of many western and central islands.

Libya and studied accounting hoax

2011-06-11T02:54:00.000-07:00

Big bath accounting is accepted as a fact of life by most analysts. But what is it and how should it be treated?
Well travelled readers may be familiar with the ancient city of Leptis Magna (pronounced Lepcis Magna). It was located on the Mediterranean Sea near the modern Libyan city of Al Khums. Associated with the Roman empire for more than 600 years, Leptis Magna housed huge and elaborate Roman-style baths, the remains of which can still be viewed today. But, in this article, we'll be focusing on a different type of elaborate 'big bath'?a financial one.

www.investopedia.com explains the concept of a financial big bath nicely: 'The strategy of manipulating a company's income statement to make poor results look even worse. The big bath is often implemented in a bad year to enhance, artificially, next year's earnings. The big rise in earnings might result in a larger bonus for executives. New CEOs sometimes use the big bath so they can blame the company's poor performance on the previous CEO and take credit for the next year's improvements.'

Good summary

That's a pretty good summary of a practice that's been going on for decades. In the 1934 edition of Security Analysis, Ben Graham wrote: 'An examination of the wholesale charges made against surplus in 1932 by American Machine and Metals? suggests the possibility that excessive provision for losses may have been made in that year with the intention of benefiting future income accounts.'

Take a trip across the Pacific Ocean and fast forward 71 years to the 2003 financial accounts of AMP. In that year the financial services giant recorded a loss of more than $5.5bn. Buried in the footnotes of that gigantic sea of red ink (footnote 2 relating to note 5 to the accounts on page 35 of the full financial report) was the following disclosure: 'Operating expenses in 2003 includes (sic) $558m of restructuring and demerger costs. The costs comprise $197m of Staff and related expenses, $74m Information and communication, $112m Professional fees, $146m Occupancy and property maintenance, Advertising and marketing $21m and $8m Other operating expenses.'

That poorly-worded footnote begs the Goldilocks question; was $558m too much, too little or just the right amount to provision for these 'restructuring and demerger costs'?. It's a question that can't be answered definitively and, in a sense, it doesn't matter in any case.

witchcraft in Indonesia

2011-06-10T19:58:00.000-07:00

Before discussing the School of Witchcraft and Islamic Studies Javanist, we will first explain the notion of Magic Science as a term that we use here. Science Invisibility is the ability to do something unusual exceed the ability of ordinary people, often also referred to as the Metaphysical Sciences, Science Supranatural or mystical because it involves things that are not visible to the eye. Some believe that the Science of Magic as a sacred, holy and glorified people who have it too, even thought the guardian or a saint.

I need to explain, that the miracle that is Wali (saint lover of God) is not the same with Hidden Science we are studying. Wali has never had such a miracle. Karomah come will of God because they are very pious and humble. While we are the people who ask God for His power melimpahakan for our purposes.

In the development of Wizardry in Indonesia, we recognize two major rivers and streams flow Javanist Wisdom. Wisdom develops between the schools with the characteristics of the flow of prayers / spells pure Arab (mostly derived from the Quran). While the flow of current Javanist really have kejawen no longer pure, but it has been mixed with Islamic tradition. This mantra begins with the basmalah mainly followed by the mantra of Java. "Material", I call it Islamic Studies School of Witchcraft and Javanist.

sort sorts the flow of Islamic science kejawen

Here is a classification based on the function of magic in my opinion. Maybe someone else makes a different classification with the classification in my opinion. This is not a problem because there is no standard definition on the Invisibility of science classification.

1. Kanuragan Science, Kanuragan Science is the science that serves to defend itself in the supernatural. This knowledge includes the ability to survive (immune) to the attacks and the ability to strike with tremendous power. Examples of science Asmaa Angel, Hizib inner strength, Sahadad Pamungkas etc.

2. Science Games (Attractions) There is a supernatural science that can only be used for performances on stage. At first sight is the same with science because it can show Kanuragan immune to sharp objects, heat oil and water hard. But science can not be used against actual results. An example we often see is the knowledge about whistle player.

3. Health Studies Included in this group is the science gurah (cleanse the respiratory tract), medical science, strong science of sex, and other supernatural sciences related to the human body bilologis function.

4. Etc

Myths About Side Effects

Some people still believe that the owner of Magical Sciences will have a hard life and death, it is difficult to supply, can be mentally ill (insane), suffered while going to die etc.. I must reject that opinion. Is not the problem rizqi and fate is God who determines.

how to stop the consumption of sugar that fuels the fire of inflammation for heart disease

2011-06-10T09:56:00.000-07:00

Have you tried to stop sugar cravings? Are you concerned you’re a sugar addict? If so, your concerns are well-founded.

Since I believe sugar is the top level culprit in inflammation, getting sugar cravings under control is critical to reducing inflammation that is involved in almost all diseases and aging processes.

By the end of this article, you’ll know what to do to stop sugar cravings and end sugar addictions but before we go there, let’s talk about sugar and inflammation.

Inflammation causes heart disease, it causes cancer and it causes diabetes. Controlling inflammation, not cholesterol levels is critical if we are to reduce and even cure heart disease and those diseases of aging.

Investigators have been pleading with the medical community to pay more attention to managing inflammation. We now know that inflammation may be initiated by our own immune systems in response to inciting events and sugar, more specifically fructose plays a critical role in this process.

Sugar is the top of the list of foods that can create and fuel the fires of inflammation. Sucrose, with the chemical formula C12H22O11, is an equal combination of fructose, C6H12O6, and glucose, also C6H12O6, is the most common of the sugars involved in this inflammatory process.

More recently in North America there has been a rapid increase in the use of fructose syrup, from corn, in food manufacturing. This high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is significantly sweeter than sucrose, much cheaper process for manufacturers, but significantly more toxic to our liver, and cardiovascular system.

So actively avoiding sugar and high-glycemic (simple) carbohydrates, which the body will rapidly convert to sugar, is a primary focus in reducing inflammation. A marker of inflammation, C-reactive protein (CPR), plays a major role in heart disease.

Elevated CRP

A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine identified people with elevated CRP levels had four fold increases in having a heart attack. Not only is elevated CRP more accurate than cholesterol in predicting heart attack risk, but high CRP levels have turned up in people with diabetes and pre-diabetes and in people who are overweight.( Ridker PM, Hennekens CH, Buring JE, et al “C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation in the prediction of cardiovascular disease in women.” New England Journal of Medicine, 2000;342:836-843.) The CRP molecule is not found in foods. However, its levels in the body are strongly influenced by diet, more specifically the increased amount of sucrose and fructose, not fat.

Recently a study by Dr. Liu, M.D., Ph.D., of the Harvard Medical School, revealed that women who ate large amounts of high-glycemic (or diabetes promoting) carbohydrates which included potatoes, breakfast cereals, white breads, muffins, and white rice, had very high CRP levels.

If a woman ate those high-glycemic carbohydrates and was overweight, she had the highest and most dangerous CRP levels. [Simin Liu, Harvard Medical Journal 2000 Oct 19; 343 (16): 1139- 47.] So the link of elevated CRP, heart disease and sugar consumption becomes clearer.

Following high carbohydrate consumption, our body makes CRP from interleukin-6 (IL-6), a powerful inflammatory chemical. IL-6 is a key cell communication molecule, and it activates our immune system to release CRP and many other inflammation-causing substances.
Inflammation & Weight

Being overweight increases inflammation because adipose cells, particularly visceral fat cells around our abdominal organs, makes large amounts of cytokines and CRP. These cytokines cause elevated sugar levels because of insulin resistance, and thus they result in more abdominal fat, and increasing IL-6 and CRP levels.

This rapidly deteriorating cycle worsens by increasing obesity and higher blood sugar levels even more and thus increases the risk of heart disease, which is induced by the burning embers of inflammation.( Manson JE, Buring HE, et al. Relation between a diet with a high glycemic load and plasma concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in middle-aged women. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002;75:492-498.)

When there is excess glucose in the blood stream, our pancreas responds by pumping out large amounts of insulin. Unfortunately the body develops a resistance to these persistently elevated insulin levels. This process of excess blood sugar results in glycosylation, or the process when sugar can attach itself to collagen inside of blood vessels, organs, and muscles.

This material has the consistency of the outer coating of the dessert Crème Brulee, and results in inflexible blood vessels with inflammation and blockage, organ deterioration, and systemic inflammation.
Stop Sugar Cravings

High insulin levels, in the face of persistently elevated blood sugar levels, results in our body creating long chain fatty acids that are stored inside of our belly as visceral fat. Fortunately, when we are young, this process is blocked by progesterone, unfortunately though in both men and women, progesterone falls to immeasurable levels in our forties, and thus the belly fat battle begins.

The best way to deal with cravings is to control blood sugar and insulin by staying away from the simple carbohydrates and eating more protein. That sounds so much easier than it is, especially when sweets have the addictive qualities of crack cocaine, and opium.

Jamu

2011-06-09T14:17:00.000-07:00

It is claimed to have originated in the Mataram Kingdom some 1300 years ago. Though heavily influenced by Ayurveda from India, Indonesia is a vast archipelago with numerous indigenous plants not found in India, and include plants similar to Australia beyond the Wallace Line. Jamu may vary from region to region, and often not written down, especially in remote areas of the country.

Jamu was (and is) practiced by indigenous physicians (dukuns). However, it is generally prepared and prescribed by women, who sell it on the streets. Generally, the different jamu prescriptions are not written down but handed down between the generations. Some early handbooks, however, have survived. A jamu handbook that was used in households throughout the Indies was published in 1911 by Mrs. Kloppenburg-Versteegh .

One of the first European physicians to study jamu was Jacobus Bontius (Jacob de Bondt), who was a physician in Batavia (today's Jakarta) in the early seventeenth century. His writings contain information about indigenous medicine. A comprehensive book on indigenous herbal medicine in the Indies was published by Rumphius, who worked on Ambon during the early eighteenth century.

He published a book called Herbaria Amboinesis (The Ambonese Spice Book).During the nineteenth century, European physicians had a keen interest in jamu, as they often did not know how to treat the diseases they encountered in their patients in the Indies. The German physician Carl Waitz published on jamu in 1829. In the 1880s and 1890s, A.G. Vorderman published extensive accounts on jamu as well. Pharmacological research on herbal medicine was undertaken by M. Greshoff and W.G. Boorsma at the pharmacological laboratory at the Bogor Botanical Garden
