ini merupakan aset negara yang sangat berharga.

Lebih lanjut Dubes RI menjelaskan bahwa hubungan bilateral antara Indonesia dengan AS saat ini berada pada tingkatan terbaik dibandingkan masa-masa sebelumnya. Namun demikian masih ada beberapa aspek dalam hubungan kerjasama ini yang belum digali secara maksimal. Untuk itu, Dubes RI menghim-

March 2015

My name is Oliver Pras. I was born and raised in Queens, NYC. At an early age, it had always been a dream of mine to be an entertainer. I was quite the rambunctious child, often running around loudly without a care in the world. In an attempt to offer my sister and I a better living environment, my parents moved us to the suburbs of New Jersey, just 15 minutes away from Manhattan. In high school I was very shy and quiet. I didn't have many friends and was very to myself. I was often picked on and bullied by my peers. That changed during college.

I attended Ramapo College, a state college of New Jersey. I joined the international fraternity, Phi Kappa Sigma, and finally became outgoing and lively. No longer the quiet and shy kid in high school, I had blossomed into a very likable and fun person. My fraternity had allowed me to experience so many wonderful things and I wouldn't change my college experience if I had the chance to do it again! Graduating college, I had bounced around a few traditional jobs. However, I had soon become stagnant and found myself wondering what I was doing with my life. I did not want to spend the rest of my life in a cubicle. I started reminiscing about the dreams I had of being a successful and respected actor and model. Many people initially told me how I wasn't tall enough or good looking enough to model, but I didn't listen. One day, a random fellow commuter had approached me and asked if I were currently a model, to which I replied that I wasn't. She informed me of a casting and I reluctantly went. Upon attending, I was chosen right away and thus started my modeling career. Starting off wasn't easy. But like my dad always says: "No Pain, No Gain". Slowly, but surely I had booked various runway shows and editorials. Eventually, I had successfully booked the GAP campaign "Dress Normal". In 2011, my cousin from New York decided to

have his wedding in Bali, Indonesia. At this point, I hadn't been to Indonesia in over 15 years. I was so ignorant to Indonesia and its culture. Although I grew up with a fairly large Indonesian community here in NY, I really didn't know what Indonesia was truly about. Upon arriving in Bali and Jakarta, I was overwhelmingly culture shocked! Heck, I don't even know America outside of the East Coast, let alone Indonesia. I hadn't been here in so many years! I was reunited with cousins, aunts, uncles, and my grandmother... all whom I hadn't seen since I was a child! I remember how takut it was for me coming out of the airport and being overwhelmed by all the motors that seemed to swarm the vehicle. The entire experience was so wonderful that I decided to return in 2013. I had become so enamored and so proud to be Indonesian! It was around this time that I realized that I wanted to bring our culture to America in some capacity. When modeling or auditioning for roles, I proudly and always promote my Indonesian heritage. I am after-all, 100% Indonesian (Manado/Jawa). It is my sincere dream and hope that I can one day bring Indonesian culture to American entertainment. The other day I attended an Asian arts exhibit. While there were many impressive and large exhibits portraying countries like Korea, Japan and Thailand... there was only a tiny little corner for Indonesia. We are the fourth most populated country in the world! Surely, our culture alone is deserving of more space and recognition! I want to one day change that! I have just booked a trip to Jakarta for April/ May to begin my modeling and acting career in Indonesia. I will be meeting with entertainment executives, modeling agencies and various publications in the hopes of a long term career in Jakarta. Afterwords, I will be returning to NYC for my best friends wedding. Expect to see me back in Jakarta by July for the long haul and I absolutely cannot wait! n

ABOUT the author : Dr. Vivienne Kruger hails from New York City, and is a social and cultural historian with an M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. in American history from Columbia University. A trip across Java and Bali in 1993 made her fell in love with the exotic Island of the Gods at first sight! She has since enjoyed a twenty-year-long literary, spiritual, and cultural love affair with the gorgeous volcanic island where the gods live and the people smile and cook! She wrote several books, served as a special research consultant and columnist in newspapers and magazines about Balinese culture and cuisine. Dr. Vivienne Kruger's book "Balinese Food: The Traditional Cuisine and Food Culture of Bali" - (Tuttle Publishing, 2014, ISBN 080484450X), now available at amazon.com and at Barnes and Noble. Dr. Vivienne Kruger will lead guided tour groups to Bali beginning in June 2015. Please see her new BlogSpot: www.balinesefoodculturaltourstobali.blogspot.com

by Dr. Vivienne Kruger Part tHREE - THE END The “great mountain” casts a long ritual, geological, and literal shadow over Bali--and beyond. Gunung Agung's mist-ringed slopes and crown are visible all the way from the white sands of Kuta Beach to Bali's pristine sister island, Nusa Lembongan. To visit Gunung Agung in person, explorers can drive up the backroads from Klungkung through numerous small villages that escaped the creeping lava flow (souvenir boulders strewn by the cataclysm are now used as doorsteps and seats!). Gunung Agung’s outburst wreaked a level of havoc still visible all along the rugged slopes: pass through Sideman, Iseh, Selat (a completely rebuilt, formerly prosperous market

town), and the new Sebudi (the original agricultural hamlet remains permanently buried under 130 feet of black lava and debris!) Few mountain communities survive (or have been reconstituted) above this level other than Sogra, the highest village on the mountain. (Sogra’s entire population was suffocated by searing clouds of crater-propelled gases; they were later found in-situ by a search party--perfectly preserved under a thin coating of ash, in a macabre, wax-works collection of freeze-frame poses.) The road stops just beyond Sogra near Pura Pasar Agung, a small, seldom-visited temple twice as far up the mountain as Besakih. Of great symbolic significance as the final gateway to the home of the gods and ancestors, it was also destroyed during the volcanic mayhem and only rebuilt in the late 1970s.

Inveterate trekkers can ascend up to Mount Agung’s peak from Sogra (or a tougher six to eight hour climb from Sebudi). To experience sunrise from the navel of the world, walk from Sebudi to the settlement of Sangkawasa, camp overnight, and set out at 3:00 A.M. on a three-hour hike through crumbling, chilly, wind-pocked terrain to the crisp, clear, morning edge of the crater. You can also tackle the mountain from behind Pura Besakih on a rough, slippery, ten-kilometer trail through dense low foliage and volcanic particles, but you should request permission from the temple authorities first (no one must stand higher than the temple when a ceremony is in progress). The Balinese consider this sojourn to the shrouded, mountaintop spirit realm to be taboo, disrespectful, and dangerous: one must never disturb Ida Bhatara Gunung Agung. Several tourists have disappeared without a trace: it is advisable for day trippers to start early in the morning, travel with a local guide—and, to appease the deities—carry the correct handmade offerings on your head, walk barefoot, don proper temple attire (a sarong and sash), and dress in humble white. To visit Gunung Agung is to tread in the supernatural realm of the spirits: the best, and certainly the easiest way to heed the call of

the mountain is to join the steady stream of devotees and tourists at the Pura Besakih temple complex. Pura Besakih, the spiritual center and principal state temple of the island of the gods, was built in the tenth century by a Javanese priest, Danghyang Markandeya, who journeyed to Bali with his devotees to spread the Hindu religion. Besakih (whose long axis is aligned with the peak of Gunung Agung) is perched 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) above sea level on the southwestern slopes of the vigilant, brooding mountain. On a site probably also sacred to the volcano god in pre-Hindu times, it has evolved over its thousand-year history into a sprawling complex of over two hundred towering, watlike shrines and temples arranged in seven terraces going up the hill. Each of the eight regencies has its own temple dedicated to the high gods with eighteen separate sanctuaries for high-caste Brahmin families. This forest of black-thatched “merus” (pagoda-like structures with multi-tiered, sugar palm roofs) stands out in breathtaking silhouette against Bali's blue sky. Inside the core of each meru is an unobstructed square tunnel through which deities, ancestors, and spirits descend from the mountain (on festive occasions) to temporarily inhabit shrines set at the base.

Pura Besakih facing south.

The central and most important temple, Pura Penataran Agung (dedicated to Siva), represents the three manifestations of one supreme god: Brahma on the right, Siva in the middle, and Vishnu on the left. Temple structures are the critical link between the realms of heaven and earth. The ancient religious site has tremendous psychological and spiritual resonance: local Balinese people visit it every single day to pray and to collect holy water for use in village rituals. Rich families with their own private temple compounds come here every week to tend to

the contents of their ancestors' shrines and pay their respects to the gods with lovingly crafted offerings. This sacred mountain, internationally regarded as one of the eight chakra points of the world, harnesses and radiates religious, symbolic, and psychic energy--its primordial force is palpable even during a brief visit. With fifty-five ceremonies held here each year, you will undoubtedly get to witness a colorful processional file of women in bright yellow lace kebayas and cloth sarongs bearing palatial temple offerings of rice, fruits, and flower petals. Don't let the omnipresent hawking detract from this characteristically serene, spiritual, and contemplative Balinese experience. Let one of the eager local guides attach himself to you--it is well worth the price to gain access to special worship areas and enjoy a running cultural commentary on the significant sites. (You never need to bring an umbrella even if it is raining at Besakih--it is only holy water sprinkled down by the gods!) While Pura Penataran is off limits to tourists (you can quietly observe celebrations from the periphery), a temple guardian/guide can escort you into private compounds to pray and receive a holy water blessing from the sacred basin below Lord Vishnu's hibiscus-bedecked statue. When you leave Pura Besakih, you will feel peaceful, revitalized, and renewed: this powerful, concentrated energy node connects travelers and pilgrims alike to the earth's central, vital core. All of Bali emanates this vibrant life energy--focused on and funneled through Gunung Agung, the center of the cosmos. - The End n March 2015

Managing Your Retirement and Estate Planning Part two - The end If you have an estate tax liability, you need a plan that will ensure that the bulk of your estate will go to your heirs, not the government. There are many strategies and techniques to accomplish this, and a financial advisor who specializes in estate planning can help you create the plan that's right for you. But to help you get started, here are some options to consider:

Gifting One of the simplest ways to reduce your estate tax liability is to transfer money to loved ones while you're still living. This is called "gifting" and here's how it works. Every US citizen is entitled to give away up to $14,000 per person per year. A husband and a wife can give $28,000 to any child, grandchild or anyone else for that matter, and as long as you stay within the limits, none of these "gifts" are subject to gift or estate taxes.

us would like to leave an inheritance to our loved ones. But not all of us will succeed in creating a sizable estate to pass along. Life insurance does something that no other product can do - it can create an instant estate. Life insurance is also a great vehicle for paying estate taxes. When a person with an estate tax liability dies, their family members often have no choice but to quickly sell off certain assets to pay for federal and state estate taxes, lawyers fees, probate costs, etc. The proceeds from a life insurance policy create instant liquidity when someone dies, eliminating the need to liquidate other assets, often for a fraction of their true value.

Bypass Trusts If you die and you're married, the proceeds of your estate can be passed on to your spouse tax free thanks to something called the "unlimited marital deduction". But if you've leave a sizable estate to your spouse, all you've really done is shift the estate tax burden. One way to address this problem is by creating bypass trusts for you and your spouse. Bypass trusts allow each spouse to take advantage of the $5.34 million federal estate tax exemption. In other words, the IRS allows up to $10.68 million (the combined exemptions of you and your spouse) to "bypass" your estates. This simple arrangement can save your children hundreds of thousands of dollars in estate taxes.

Life Insurance Life insurance can help address a number of estate planning issues. First, one of the main reasons people buy life insurance in the first place is to create an estate. Most of

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts While it's true that life insurance can create an instant estate for your loved ones, it can also create an instant estate tax problem for them if you don't plan properly. For example, consider a couple in their 50's that has equity in their home of $1,000,000 and an additional $1,000,000 in stocks, mutual funds, 401Ks and college savings plans for their three children. Because they have three young children, both parents have $3.5 million in life insurance coverage. If one of them were to die, they would go from not having any estate tax liability (remember they currently have a net worth of $2,000,000) to having a fairly sizable one.

One way to address this situation is to set up an irrevocable life insurance trust. This is a trust that owns your life insurance policy (or policies). It pays the premiums to keep the insurance in force, collects the death benefits when you die, and distributes the money according to the terms of the trust. Since you don't own the insurance, the proceeds aren't included in your estate. You determine the trust terms when you set it up. For example, you determine to whom distributions will be made and how they will be handled. It is quite common to name one's spouse and children as beneficiaries. You can include provisions in the trust that pay income to your spouse during his or her life or to allow the trustee to supplement your spouse's income to maintain his or her lifestyle or to handle unexpected expenses. If the surviving spouse dies prematurely too, the trust should specify how the proceeds will be divided among the remaining beneficiaries. When there are multiple children, it is fairly common to have the principal paid out in equal shares when the children reach certain age milestones. For instance, distributions might be made on three occasions, when the children reach ages 25, 30 and 35.

Other Options to Consider In addition to irrevocable life insurance trusts and bypass trusts, there are QTIP trusts, Charitable trusts, Qualified Personal Residence trusts and many other sophisticated planning tools. The best way to make sense of the options available to you is to consult with professionals - financial advisors, attorneys, accountants - who specialize in estate planning. They can help you make the right choices for your family, ensuring that the share of your estate gets passed onto your heirs, not Uncle Sam. n

Spring Cleaning

Find Happiness in a Less Cluttered Home "Don't throw it! We might need it someday". Well, some people use-up all their basement or garage space, and have to park their car(s) on driveway or even on the street. Some, even rent a storage to keep their clutter. Sound familiar? It's true that most of us have a little "too much stuff ". But with your willingness, energy and motivation, you can start your Spring Cleaning to declutter your home ... and your life! We are living in a world based on consumerism, so don't buy stuff you want, but buy the things that you need. Sometimes there's a good deal of advertising that wants us to stock up, but please be reassonable. Always shop with a list and buy what you need. And

Do not declutter the whole house in one day. Very few people have the energy and/ or focus to spend 10 hours organizing. You'll likely become frustrated and less efficient as the day progresses. It's much better to spend a few hours on one project. This way you'll feel motivated to do more, not burned out by the process. Do not think that once you've organized your space, that you are done. You should expect regular upkeep, managing incoming and outgoing items.

before you go weekly grocery shopping, try to clean up your fridge first, so you won't buy same stuff you already have which hiding all the way back of your refrigerator. By having less clutter you are creating an environment that will allow you to flourish and reach your greatest potential. Try to limit the amount of stuff in your life to only things you truly love. Decluttering is much easier when you're deciding what to keep rather than what to toss. You have to be able to pass "letting-go process". We often feel overwhelmed when we see all of our stuff. Pick one small area to begin and separate those clutter in categories. Pick up one thing at a time and ask, "Do I still love and use this, or can I let it go?" And there's nothing wrong if you want to keep some sentimental items, but it's important to be realistic.

Not everybody has a clean home resemble like Ikea catalog. If you do, great, but your home is the space that is really used by an actual people, not one that has been carefully staged by a team expert of home decorator. Although for some people, they cannot work if their workspace "too clean", but keep in mind the goal is to set up a space that works well for your needs.

Begin Cleaning To start cleaning/decluttering, these are guidance how you sort stuff. You need to realistically determine each item, whether you want to keep it, donate, throw, or give a chance another month to see if you relly miss them before you throw it. Sort by category To truly see what you have, you must gather every single item in a particular category in one place, then consider them all side by side. So you don't need to keep 3 paper shredder, 5 hammers, 10 bottle opener, 4 carpet vacuum cleaner, ... etc. Do you love it? According to Marie Kondo, tidying expert, you should ask yourself, "Does this thing spark joy?" If it gives you a thrill as you hold it, keep it. But if it doesn't, that's all you need to know: throw it in the donate pile. Throw your ugly shirt If you have clothes you know ď&#x201A;&#x201E; to page 38

BI$NI$ PADUAN SUARA oleh Rizal Tandrio

ATTIRE Berpaduan suara identik dengan attire, apparel, uniform, costume dan lain-lainnya atau seragam istilahnya. Tidak heran banyak anggota paduan

(http://www.sepapparel.com). Kalau kita mengunjungi kedua toko ini melalui website-nya, maka jelas sekali mereka sudah menyiapkan segala jenis model seragam, kain, ukuran dll. yang sudah jadi dan siap dibeli. Tidak puas? Pelanggan pun bisa memesan model seragam sesuai keinginannya. Tidak hanya seragam saja yang mereka tawarkan tetapi juga aksesoris pemanis untuk tampil seperti kalung, bros, gelang, dan aksesories lainnya.

Grup paduan suara memerlukan seragam dan perlengkapan/alat pendukung. Salah satunya adalah "choral raiser" yaitu "tangga" tempat berdirinya grup paduan suara saat bernyanyi.

suara yang jauh-jauh hari sebelum penampilan sudah ramai mendiskusikan pakaian apa yang digunakan saat tampil. Kebanyakan paduan suara di Indonesia kalau membuat seragam untuk paduan suara biasanya mencari tempat menjahit pakaian umum, dimana bisa mengukur pakaian tiap anggotanya satu per satu. Bagaimana dengan di Amerika? Di negara yang serba praktis ini, ditambah paduan suara ada dimana-mana, maka bisnis menjahit pakaian khusus untuk paduan suara pun tumbuh subur, contohnya Tuxedo Wholesaler (http://tuxedowholesaler.com) dan Southern Performance Apparel

oleh penggiat musik atau paduan suara. Di Amerika bisnis jualan partitur ini bisa dikatakan punya prospek yang bagus, karena kebiasaan orang Amerika selalu membeli yang asli, bukan membeli yang bajakan atau fotokopi dari orang lain. Biasanya fotokopi partitur di Amerika masih bisa dimaklumi sepanjang untuk kepentingan edukasi di lingkungan sekolah. Karena banyaknya karya musik, dimana tidak mungkin semuanya ditempatkan di rak-rak toko maka sebagian besar sheet music publisher atau penerbit partitur di Amerika memilih menjualnya melalui toko-toko online seperti Sheet Music Plus (http://www. sheetmusicplus.com) dan J.W. Pepper (http://www.jwpepper.com). AWARD Tidak bisa dipungkiri dalam kegiatan bermusik, selalu ada yang berprestasi atau yang sudah menjadi anggota selama bertahun-tahun. Ingin memberikan penghargaan kepada anggota paduan suara yang berprestasi atau sudah menjadi anggota paduan suara selama bertahun-tahun? Jangan kuatir, ada bisnis yang bergelut di bidang berbagai jenis penghargaan untuk diberikan kepada anggota paduan suara atas prestasi atau pegabdiannya. Toko ini menjual berbagai macam

SHEET MUSIC Tentunya dalam berlatih paduan suara, anggota memerlukan partitur (ulasan mengenai partitur pernah dibahas di Majalah IndoGo bulan Oktober 2014). Bisnis berjualan partitur bisa dikatakan sama seperti bisnis seragam paduan suara, dimana kedua bisnis ini bisa digolongkan sebagai bisnis utama di bidang paduan suara atau musik Grup paduan suara juga memerlukan partitur (Music sheet) dimana selalu dicari

Ada banyak agen perjalanan yang khusus menangani tur konser ke berbagai negara di dunia, contohnya Bob Rogers Travel (http://bobrogerstravel.com) dan American Classic (https:// amclass.com).

Indonesian culinary is bestowed with a very unique profile and covers a wide spectrum. There is no other country in the world with such culinary resplendence. From Sabang to Merauke, from Talaud to Rote Island, Indonesian culinary is innumerable. Judging from its vast variety, it would be unfitting to claim any dish as purely Indonesian. True Indonesian culinary is marked by cuisines of Aceh, Melayu, Palembang, Java and dozens of other “originating cuisines”. Just as Indonesia recognizes a wide variety of local dialects, so too the originating cuisines lend a hand to its many derivatives. For instance, Pariaman cuisine is known to have different characters from Kotogadang cuisine, and nothing in common with Kapau cuisine— even though they all belong to the genre of Minang cuisine.

ong-royong (working together towards a common goal), Indonesian culinary stems from the tradition of communal eating. One dish for all. In the past, the Dutch discovered this principle and created the rijsttafel tradition. We now bring you closer to the onset of the tradition: Tumpeng Nusantara (will be featured at the end, as the extra recipe as binding agent of all 30 recipes - red). With cone-shaped rice in the middle, Rendang Padang sits in state with Ayam Goreng Lengkuas from Bandung, Urap Sayuran from Yogyakarta and Sate Lilit from Bali. Tumpeng Nusantara is proof that elements Indonesian culinary can meet together beautifully in a state of harmony.

The visionary Empu Tantular, a 14th century poet sage of Majapahit Empire, wrote the sacred phrase which then became Indonesian national motto: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Unity in Diversity! Whereas Bhinneka Tunggal Ika originated from the principle tenet of got-

dish tends to be on the hot-and-sour side. According to its origins, the name asinan refers to the pickling process, which employs the use of salt and vinegar. Its refreshing palate makes asinan most suitable as an appetizer. Among the many types of asinans out there, two of the most popular ones are Asinan Betawi and Asinan Bogor. Generally speaking, Asinan Betawi uses vegetables and peanut-based sauce; whereas Asinan Bogor uses local fruit and a kind of sauce made of chili, garlic and vinegar. The most common vegetables used in asinan are sawi asin (pickled bok choy), cabbage, bean sprouts, grated carrots, lettuce and slices of yellow tofu. Some versions add the use of jicama and sweet potatoes to result in a crunchy texture. Peranakan-style Asinan uses tek kim leaves (antanan) and chives (leaves and bulbs). The fruit used in asinan are locally grown and widely available in the Jakarta-Bogor area, such as green mango, kedondong (Spondias dulcis), salak (Salacca zalacca), jambu air (Syzygium aqueum), green papaya, jicama, nutmeg, pineapple and grapes. Because of its fruit content, Asinan Buah appears more like rujak, with the exception that rujak uses fresh fruit.

Asinan is an appetizer or salad made from raw vegetables and fruit. Despite the name –asin means salty— the most apparent taste of this

02 Tahu Telur Surabaya

A similar version of tahu telur in Semarang is served with gimbal udang (deep-fried savory cracker made from medium-sized shrimp). While there is no clear historical note to explain the origins of the dish, it is believed that tahu telur is a fairly new creation in East Javanese culinary repertoire beginning in the 1940’s. INGREDIENTS (serves 6-8) : 400 gr Tofu 440 gr 8 pieces eggs, scrambled ¾ teaspoons pepper ¾ teaspoons salt Cooking oil

Tahu Telur is a popular light meal in East Java. With appropriate serving size, it can be categorized as an appetizer that paves the way for a wide palate of flavors. In essence, tahu telur is a tofu omelet, made from diced white tofu that are deep fried in egg batter. The omelet is served on the bed of steamed bean sprouts, sprinkled with celery slices, and coated with peanut-based sauce. Adding to the finishing touch are kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and fried shallots. In Surabaya, some vendors add petis (fermented shrimp paste) in the sauce to give it a kick. It is customary to serve tahu telur with pickled cucumber and colorful tapioca crackers. It can also be served as a single meal with the additon of rice cake. This dish is a comfort food easily obtained from pushcart or streetside vendors.

PEANUT SAUCE: 6 gr 5-6 pcs bird’s eye chilies, fried 40 gr 2 pcs red chilies, fried 8 gr 4 cloves garlic cloves, fried 20 gr 2 tablespoons peanuts, fried 7.5 gr 1½ teaspoons palm sugar, thinly sliced 2-3 tablespoons dark shrimp paste ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce 100 cc water

cooking DIRECTIONS: 1. Cut tofu in dices of 1½ cm. Fry it until half-cooked, remove and set aside. Divide the tofu into 6-8 servings. Mix one part of tofu with one part of the scrambled egg. 2. Heat cooking oil in wok, place one part of tofu, round-shaped. Fry until well cooked. Remove and drain. Repeat the same process to the remaining tofu. Add more cooking oil, if necessary. 3. Peanut sauce: Blend well garlic and chilies. Add the fried peanuts, continue grinding. Add the dark shrimp paste, salt, sweet soy sauce and palm sugar. Thin it out with water, mix well. 4.

Selamat Dari Kecelakaan Mobil Suatu hari saya bersama anak saya, Scott, mengendarai mobil Honda Accord menuju ke tempat perbelanjaan di Citadel, California. Kami melewati Freeway nomor 5. Semua kendaraan yang di freeway melaju dengan kecepatan tinggi. Tiba-tiba ada sebuah mobil Cadillac, entah pengendaranya mabuk atau mengantuk, atau ugal-ugalan; dia menabrak sebuah mobil yang kencang melaju. Akibatnya mobil itu tidak bisa mengendalikan diri dan menabrak sebuah mobil lain. Lalu, sebuah mobil Jaguar juga tertabrak dan dalam waktu yang cepat sekali, mobil kami ditabrak oleh mobil Jaguar itu. Semua rentetan tabrakan beruntun itu terjadi cepat sekali. Saya dan anak saya tidak tahu menahu sama sekali saat terjadi kecelakaan tersebut. Cerita lengkapnya baru diketahui setelah kejadiaan kecelakaan di hari itu. Saya tidak bisa berpikir apa-apa waktu itu. Yang pasti mobil kami melayang di udara dan terbalik. Roda mobilnya di atas dan kap mobil menghantam pembatas jalan raya yang terbuat dari besi. Lalu mobil itu terbalik sekali lagi ke posisi normal, tetapi seluruh kaca mobil hancur berkeping-keping. Saya dikeluarkan dari jendela mobil, dan diletakkan terbaring di jalan raya. Anak saya berteriak, “Mami, kita ada di mana?” Dia berpikir kami berdua sudah meninggal dan mungkin ada di sorga. Kami sungguh–sungguh mengalami penyertaan dan pertolongan Tuhan yang ajaib. Kami berdua dibawa ke rumah sakit, dan diperiksa. Ternyata kami berdua hanya luka-luka ringan. Bagian kepala, otak, tulang, dan badan kami tidak apa-apa. Ini benar-benar mujizat yang tidak masuk akal. Sangat mengherankan. Kalau bukan Tuhan yang berkarya dan melindungi, kami pasti sudah tiada, atau cacat, atau

March 2015

luka-luka parah. Melihat mobil yang hancur berantakan, sungguh tidak percaya kalau kami selamat dan tidak ada luka yang berarti. Ketika kita yang berhati-hati di jalan raya, ada saja orang lain yang sembrono dalam mengendarai mobil, dan bisa mencelakai kita. Namun, Tuhan Allah kita ajaib, Dia berjanji akan menyertai dan melindungi setiap kita yang beriman dan berharap kepadanya. Saya teringat Firman Tuhan yang dituliskan pemazmur, “TUHAN akan menjaga engkau terhadap segala kecelakaan; Ia akan menjaga nyawamu. TUHAN akan menjaga keluar masukmu, dari sekarang sampai selama-lamanya.” (Mazmur 121:7-8). Janji Firman Tuhan

ini sungguh saya alami bersama anak saya, Scott, yang juga setia beriman dan berharap kepada Tuhan Yesus, yang lebih dahulu sudah mengasihi kami dan menyelamatkan kami melalui pengorbananNya di atas salib, mengampuni dosa kami dan memberikan jaminan hidup yang kekal. Saya teringat kotbah di hari Minggu sebelumya di gereja, yaitu tentang mengucap syukur dalam segala hal. Rasul Paulus menuliskan Firman Tuhan, “Bersukacitalah senantiasa. Tetaplah berdoa. Mengucap syukurlah dalam segala hal, sebab itulah yang dikehendaki Allah di dalam Kristus Yesus bagi kamu.” (I Tesalonika 5:16-18). Bagaimana bisa mengucap syukur dalam peristiwa kecelakaan mobil ini? Bila ada hal-hal yang menyenangkan, pada umumnya manusia lebih mudah bersyukur daripada menghadapi hal-

hal yang tidak menyenangkan. Kita diajar bukan mengucap syukur yang berfokus kepada masalah kita. Tetapi fokus kepada Tuhan. Bukan mengucap syukur untuk . . . , tetapi mengucap syukur, walaupun . . . . Sebab Tuhan tetap menyertai, Tuhan tetap melindungi, Tuhan tetap memelihara, Tuhan tetap menopang, Tuhan tetap tidak berubah selama-lamanya. Bila kita fokus kepada pribadi Tuhan dan karyaNya, maka dalam segala hal kita bisa tetap menaikkan ucapan syukur kepadaNya. Pelajaran rohani ini yang saya pelajari melalui kejadian kecelakaan itu. Tidak putus-putusnya saya mengucap syukur kepada Tuhanku Yesus Kristus, yang sudah menyelamatkan aku dan anakku dari bahaya maut. Bila aku mau menghitung semua berkat-berkatNya, tidak habis-habisnya aku bisa menghitungnya. Mungkin saat ini Anda sedang mengalami hal-hal yang tidak menyenangkan, dan sulit untuk mengucap syukur kepada Tuhan. Mungkin juga sedang bertanya-tanya kenapa Tuhan mengijinkan kejadian yang negatif terjadi dalam hidup Anda. Jangan sedih, kecewa, menyalahkan Tuhan atau menyalahkan orang lain, keadaan, atau mengatakan ‘memang nasib sial’. Di dunia yang sudah berdosa dan tidak sempurna ini, bisa saja ada hal-hal yang tidak menyenangkan terjadi. Belajarlah menaikkan syukur yang berfokus kepada Tuhan, bukan fokus kepada masalah, atau kepada manusia, atau kepada keadaan. Sebab Allah kita sungguh jauh lebih besar melampaui masalah, keadaan, manusia, dan apa pun di dunia ini. Belajarlah fokus kepada Pribadi Kristus dan karyaNya. Tetaplah beriman dan berharap kepadaNya; maka Dia akan turun tangan menolongmu. n Salam Sejahtera: Istiawati Sulaiman

 from page 20 you'll never wear outside, throw it. I had an old t-shirt that I would wear on the weekends. But it is too ugly to wear it going out, so I have to change into something less embarrassing. So, free yourself of that t-shirt. You won't read that book twice Unless it's a reference book or collector comic book, forget about re-reading books you liked. How many books have you actually

Don't keep gifts out of guilt Sometimes you got gifts that you don't like. You can donate the gift without guilt. People don't notice when their gift is missing from your house.

Storage are for hoarders Beware on clever storage solutions. If you provide storage, you will stuffing as many things as possible into your closet, without examine whether you need it or not. Keep it Organized Now you've done cleaning and decluttering. It is your responsibility now to keep it clean and tidy. Most of us inherit a habits keeping stuffs, and it is true, and it has its own satisfactions. While we are not slobs or hoarders, but you have to let go things that are not needed anymore.

photos and mementos You don't need to keep all those Hawaii trip picture or old birthday cards. Take out only 5 best photos per day of every trip that bring back the joy of that time. And get rid old birthday cards and high school love letters. Clear them out and make space for the things you truly love now. Their time has passed. Cherish who you are now. Teach kids to tidying up While exercising the motoric skill, a threeyear-old can start folding and rolling their clothes. In a way this will teach them to clean up. Clothes are something kids wear everyday so it’s easy for them to have a sense about their belongings. It’s also easy to decide on a fixed place for clothes, so kids can become accustomed to managing their own stuff and returning things to where they belong. This also applied to their toys, so they can earn a stronger sense of valuing things with respect and appreciation.

You need to keep in mind, in order to have a clean and tidy home, you should truly want to have a clean uncluttered home. Decluttering is not a task to be taken lightly. And remember to declutter following by category, rather than cleaning room by room. Gather all of the clothing and place it in one pile.

This gives you an accurate picture of exactly what you have. People will realize what they have, which usually about three times as much as they thought. When you're organised, you avoid misplacing things and buying duplicates. You'll also save time by knowing where things are, and feel good about your home. Keep exercising to decide what you want to keep instead of focus on what you want to throw away. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to declutter your home and your life, then this is the right time to do it. Make 2015 the year you declutter your life. n

Eiffel Tower, Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most recognizable monument, was originally intended as a temporary installation for 1889 Paris Exposition, now it become one of the most enduring symbols of France, and home of television and radio broadcasts antenna. On March 31, 1889, the Eiffel Tower is dedicated in Paris in a ceremony presided over by the acclaimed bridge

Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923)

builder, architect and metals expert Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923), the tower's designer, and attended by French Prime Minister Pierre Tirard. While Eiffel himself often receives full credit for the monument that bears his name, it was one of his employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a structural engineer named Maurice Koechlinâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who came up with and fine-tuned the concept.

March 2015

In 1889, to honor of the centenary of the French Revolution, the French government planned an international exposition and announced a design competition for a monument to be built on the Champde-Mars in central Paris. Out of more than 100 designs submitted, the Centennial Committee chose Eiffel's plan of an open-lattice wrought-iron tower that would reach almost 1,000 feet above Paris and be the world's tallest man-made structure. Eiffel's tower was greeted with skepticism from critics who argued that it would be structurally unsound, and indignation from others who thought it would be an eyesore in the heart of Paris. Unperturbed, Eiffel completed his great tower under budget in just two years. Only one worker lost his life during construction, which at the time was a remarkably low casualty number for a project of that magnitude. The light, airy structure was by all accounts a technological wonder and within a few decades came to be regarded as an architectural masterpiece.

The Eiffel Tower is 984 feet tall and consists of an iron framework supported on four masonry piers, from which rise four columns that unite to form a single vertical tower. Platforms, each with an observation deck, are at three levels. Elevators ascend the piers on a curve, and Eiffel contracted the Otis Elevator Company of the United States to design the tower's famous glass-cage elevators. The elevators were not completed by March 31, 1889, however, so Gustave Eiffel ascended the tower's stairs with a few hardy companions and raised an enormous French tricolor on the structure's flagpole. Fireworks were then set off from the second platform. Eiffel and his party descended, and the architect addressed the guests and about 200 workers. In early May, the Paris International Exposition opened, and the tower served as the entrance gateway to the giant fair.

The Eiffel Tower remained the world's tallest man-made structure until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York in 1930. Incredibly, the Eiffel Tower was almost demolished when the International Exposition's 20-year lease on the land expired in 1909, but its value as an antenna for radio transmission saved it. It remains largely unchanged today and is one of the world's premier tourist attractions.

One of the most recognizable structures on the planet, the Eiffel Tower underwent a major facelift in 1986 and is repainted with 60 tons of paint (about 12,000 gallons) every seven years to protect it from rust. It welcomes more visitors than any other paid monument in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an estimated 7 million people per year. Some 500 employees are responsible for its daily operations, working in its restaurants, manning its elevators, ensuring its security and directing the eager crowds flocking the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platforms to enjoy panoramic views of the City of Lights. n

Use number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The numbers in each thick outlined set of squares (called cages), must combine numbers (in any order) to produce the target number using the mathematic operation indicated (+). Sample: For 5+, you can use 1 & 4 or 2 & 3. Number can ONLY be used once per row & once per column. You can use same number within a cage as long as it is not in the same row or column. Cages with just one square should be filled in with the target number in the top corner.

Exit Strategy

Small Business Checklist Many business owners forget to set a goal for themselves on when and how they are going to exit the business. Ideally, this is setup before the business even breaks ground. We are not talking about closing doors or filing bankruptcy, although those are certainly some of the options. This is when an owner finds himself stuck and married to the business and he has no idea how to get out of it. Sell the business Especially if the business is growing with good EBITDA number, and take the early retirement.

good employees is key. The passive owner can just ride the company however long he wants it to be. It feels like retirement anyway. Have a Will in place to make sure the ownership will pass along appropriately. We usually would get into a business because of previous experience, opportunity or desperation. We concentrate on having a successful business, so we do not have a finish line in mind, so to speak. It is OK to develop the strategy after we are in the business.

Koperasi UKM Indonesia dan Pengusaha Muda Indonesia di Los Angeles Bekerjasama Penetrasi Pasar di Amerika Serikat Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, February 27, 2015 Dalam usaha mendorong ekspor Indonesia ke Amerika Serikat, khususnya produk-produk UKM (Usaha Kecil dan Menengah), telah dilangsungkan penandatanganan Nota Kesepahaman Bersama antara Koperasi IKM (Industri Kecil dan Menengah) dan Islands Treasure Republic (ITR) LLC untuk bekerjasama dalam peningkatan ekspor ke AS dan pemberdayaan usaha kecil dan menengah di Indonesia. Penandatanganan ini dilaksanakan di ruang showroom Indonesia Trade Promotion Center Los Angeles (ITPC LA) dan disaksikan oleh Duta Besar LBBP Republik Indonesia untuk Amerika Serikat, Bapak Budi Bowoleksono dan Konsul Jenderal Republik Indonesia di Los Angeles, Bapak Umar Hadi. Koperasi IKM merupakan badan usaha koperasi yang didirikan di Jakarta sebagai koperasi primer nasional oleh para pelaku UKM yang tersebar di beberapa propinsi di Indonesia. Ketua Pengurus Koperasi IKM, Bapak Yan Razif berujar, ”Koperasi IKM berusaha menjembatani UKM Indonesia menuju pasar global dimana Los Angeles merupakan pilot project kami.” Kerjasama ini dilakukan dengan pengusaha muda Indonesia yang menetap di Los Angeles, Michael David Jeremiah Widjaja, yang mempunyai mimpi untuk dapat mempromosikan kekayaan produk, kultur dan seni Indonesia di pasar internasional khususnya di segmen high-end.” Ditambahkan Yan, ”Selain AS, rencananya, Koperasi IKM akan masuk ke negara-negara potensial diantaranya negara di Amerika Latin, negara di Timur Tengah, negara di Afrika Barat, Hong Kong, dan China.” Bapak Konsul Jenderal Umar Hadi menyampaikan bahwa, “UKM Indonesia adalah tulang punggung perekonomian Indonesia dan salah satu komponen penting dalam mewujudkan mandat pemerintah RI untuk meningkatkan ekspor sebesar 300% untuk 5 tahun ke depan.” Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut Indonesia harus dapat menembus pasar di AS dengan produk-produk yang berkualitas dan mempunyai nilai tambah. “Los Angeles merupakan tempat yang strategis secara geografis dan berperan sebagai pintu masuk produk-produk Indonesia yang

akan masuk ke Amerika Serikat dan negara sekitarnya, seperti Kanada, Meksiko dan Karibia. Pasar AS dan sekitarnya masih banyak potensi yang belum digarap sepenuhnya,” lanjut beliau. Konsulat Jenderal Republik Indonesia Los Angeles (KJRI LA) dan Indonesia Trade Promotion Center Los Angeles (ITPC LA) akan terus mengambil peran aktif untuk menfasilitasi dan membina perusahaan Indonesia dalam menembus pasar Amerika Serikat yang hingga sekarang merupakan pasar terbesar di dunia. Salah satu program untuk memfasilitasi dan membina perusahaan Indonesia adalah Program Inkubasi. “Perwakilan perdagangan RI di AS (Kantor Atase Perdagangan dan ITPC) saat ini mempunyai program Inkubasi untuk membantu perusahaan yang baru akan masuk pasar AS namun memiliki keterbatasan sumber daya dan informasi,“ jelas Arief Wibisono, Kepala ITPC LA. Saat ini terdapat 5 perusahaan inkubator yang tersebar di West Coast dan East Coast yang menjadi binaan perwakilan perdagangan RI di AS. “Siapapun dapat masuk dalam program inkubator sepanjang mereka berkomitmen mempromosikan produk Indonesia dan mempunyai business plan yang jelas untuk masuk pasar AS,” tambahnya. Sekilas Mengenai Islands Treasure Republic Islands Treasure Republic, LLC merupakan sebuah perusahaan di Los Angeles yang memiliki semangat dan tujuan untuk memberdayakan UKM Indonesia dan membuka jalan agar produk-produk Indonesia dapat dikenal oleh konsumen di Amerika Serikat. Dalam satu tahun terakhir ini, ITR telah memasarkan produk leather fashion accessories dengan merek Treasure Indonesia. Produk Treasure Indonesia dirancang untuk dapat menampilkan ketrampilan pengerajin Indonesia dan juga keindahan Batik. n For more info, contact: Indonesia Trade Promotion Center Los Angeles (ITPC-LA) 3457 Wilshire Blvd. Suite #101.

Desainer Indonesia Rancang Ruang Pesta Oscars 2015 Desainer interior asal Indonesia, Irma Hardjakusumah, merancang ruang pesta Governors Ball 2015, salah satu pesta perayaan Oscars terbesar dan paling banyak dihadiri oleh selebriti.

Di balik kemegahan pesta pembagian Piala Oscar, Governors Ball, ada sosok warga Indonesia, Irma Hardjakusumah, yang Irma Hardjakusumah (kanan), desainer yang merancang ruang pesta Oscars Governors Ball 2015 bersama wartawan VOA, Vena Annisa. (VOA/Vena Annisa) hampir setiap tahunnya menjadi desainer interior langganan untuk dian ia tuangkan ke dalam desain untuk berbagai pesta besar di Hollywood. pesta Governors Ball kali ini. Governors Ball tahun ini mengambil tema Hollywood Tempo Dulu, dimulai dari era 1920an hingga 1940an. “Jadi ruangannya itu ada kesan old Hollywood, old glamor,” papar Irma saat ditemui VOA di Los Angeles, California. Bersama sang produser, Cheryl Cecchetto, untuk proyek Governors Ball tahun ini, Irma bekerjasama dengan perpustakaan Margaret Herrick di Beverly Hills yang menyimpan sejarah dan perkembangan dunia perfilman di Amerika. Di sinilah ia banyak mendapatkan inspirasi yang kemu-

“Mulai foto-foto di belakang layar, foto-foto publikasi atau istilahnya photo set, desainer kostum, pokoknya dunia perfilman dari mungkin awal abad ini,” jelas lulusan Universitas Indonesia jurusan arsitektur yang juga pernah meneruskan pendidikan di University of California di Los Angeles dan Art Center College of Design. Ribuan foto yang menggambarkan perkembangan dunia film di Amerika dari perpustakaan tersebut akan menghiasi ruangan pesta Governors Ball yang tahun ini akan diselenggarakan di Ray Dolby

Irma yang berusia 40 tahun itu sangat bersyukur bisa terlibat dalam penggarapan desain berbagai pesta yang sangat prestisius di Amerika seperti Governors Ball untuk Oscar dan Emmy Awards. Namun, menurutnya, yang menjadi kepuasan bagi dirinya sebagai seorang desainer adalah ketika ia tetap diizinkan untuk berkreasi. “Sebenarnya yang sangat saya nikmati dalam proyek-proyek ini adalah mereka itu mengizinkan saya untuk mencoba banyak sekali bentukan-bentukan ruang yang belum pernah saya coba sebelumnya,” papar Irma yang sudah tinggal di Amerika selama 17 tahun terakhir ini. “Jadi di sini saya lihat sebagai satu peluang untuk mencoba struktur baru, atau mencoba set baru, atau istilahnya pushing the envelop,” lanjutnya. Untuk Oscars Governors Ball tahun ini, koki terkenal Wolfgang Puck kembali hadir dengan menu ekstravaganza seperti burger mini andalannya dan hidangan ikan salmon berbentuk piala Oscar untuk sekitar 1.500 tamu yang hadir.

Valentine's Day Special Concert

Romantic Night With Iis Sugianto

Siapa yang tak kenal artis senior ini yang laris di era 80-an. Pada hari Valentine, 14 Februari yang baru lalu, Iis Sugianto telah sempat datang menghibur masyarakat Indonesia di Los Angeles dan sekitarnya. Malam gala show yang berjudul Romantic Night With Iis Sugianto dipenuhi pengunjung yang telah rindu dengan lagu-Lagu kenangan tempo doeloe. Iis Sugiyanto yang mempunyai nama lengkap Kuspuji Istiningdyah dilahirkan di Jakarta pada tanggal 17 November 1961. Karirnya dalam dunia musik diawali dari munculnya Iis Sugianto di acara Kenalan Baru di TVRI pada tahun 1978. Iis sempat berkiprah awal dengan digandeng oleh penyanyi kawakan Fariz RM. Namun Nama Iis Sugianto baru mulai melambung setelah almarhum Rinto Harahap memolesnya dan menyanyikan lagu-lagu karya beliau.

March 2015

Album pertama yang melambungkan namanya adalah Jangan Sakiti Hatinya, disambung dengan albumalbum populer lainnya yang beberapa kali sempat meledak dan menjadikan nama Iis Sugianto sebagai penyanyi wanita idola pada era 1980-an. Bakat menyanyi Iis Sugianto ternyata mengalir kental di keluarganya. Terbukti kakak Iis yang dikenal dengan nama Yayuk Sugianto dan adiknya Nani Sugianto juga sempat berkiprah di dunia tarik suara. Kakak Iis, Yayuk Sugianto kemudian menikah dengan penyanyi balada Indonesia terkenal Ebiet G. Ade. Pada kesempatan ini Iis Sugianto membawakan lagu-lagu populernya yang bernuansa romantis, seperti Jangan Sakiti Hatinya, Nasibku Nasibmu, Akupun Ingin Cinta, Jangan

Tinggalkan Kusendiri, Bunga Sedap Malam, dan Seindah Rembulan. "Orang mengenal saya melalui lagulagu tersebut. Dan panitia bilang pas kok dibawakan dengan nuansa perayaan Hari Kasih Sayang. Karena lagu-lagu tersebut bernuansa cinta," kata Iis. Disamping itu Iis juga sempat menyanyikan lagu-lagu medley Indonesia dari berbagai daerah di seluruh Tanah Air. Sukses pentas panggung Iis Sugianto adalah berkat kerja keras One Team Production. One Team Production sudah beberapa kali membidani pentas-pentas musik artis terkenal yang didatangkan secara langsung dari Indonesia. One Team Production itu sendiri sebagian besar terdiri dari kumpulan musisi dan penyanyi handal dari Los Angeles. n (oleh Setyowati)
