Kruger says the game was so intense. And when Germany finally beat Argentina 1-0 in overtime, she was “jumping up and down.” She watched the match with friends in New York. Kruger says that as a European, “even if you don’t like soccer, you like soccer.” The actress spoke Monday, promoting the new season of the “The Bridge,” which airs Wednesdays on the FX Network. She says production of “The Bridge” was halted during the final 10 minutes of last week’s GermanyBrazil game because she didn’t believe crew members who told her Germany was dominating the game.

Mraz’s ‘YES!’ a bright, acoustic romp Associated Press
On his fifth studio album, singer-songwriter Jason Mraz returns to familiar lyrical territory, exploring the highs and lows of love in his bright, folk-pop style. This time, though, the sound is both richer and more stripped down — an acoustic ride enriched by the vocals, strings and percussion of his partners on the album, the all-female quartet Raining Jane. Their layered harmonies lend an ethereal vibe throughout, and an almost gospel quality to the album’s best song, the closing ode to love, “Shine.” Mraz co-wrote every song on “YES!” with the indie group from Los Angeles, except for the worthy resurrection of the heartbreaking Boyz II Men classic, “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.” “YES!” tells a love story, from the initial intoxication to the inevitable goodbye. Every moment of an ordinary day is magic in “Hello, You Beautiful Thing.” “I know it’s gonna be a good day,” he sings over bouncy guitars and marimbas. “This is what I’ve been waiting for.” After heartbreak, he goes “Back to the Earth,” an enthusiastic sing-along about nature’s solace. “I try to stop the world from moving so fast, try to get a grip on where I’m at,” he sings, “and simplify this dizzy life and put my feet in the grass.” Like Mraz’s previous albums, “YES!” is cheerfully optimistic, as evidenced by the single, “Love Someone.” But the real standouts are the more introspective tracks, like the cello-driven “You Can Rely on Me” and the downbeat “A World With You.” “Let’s throw caution to the wind and start over again,” he sings as a cello cries. “I want to see the world the way I see a world with you.”

DENPASAR - Competition of food and beverage is increasingly hard and fast. Meanwhile, the application of the standard to food in Indonesia is still considered far behind and unready to face the global market in the matter of food compared to the U.S., Europe, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. On that account, Indonesia including Bali is still unready to face the global market in terms of food.

According to the economist Dr. Putu Saroyini Piartrini, Sunday (Jul 13), the challenges of food and beverage industry in exploiting market opportunities were realizing quality products consistently and fulfilling its social responsibility for consumer society. Most of the micro-, smalland some medium-scale food and beverage manufacturers had not yet understood about the elaboration on safe production process of food and beverages since the
procurement of raw materials to packaging of finished products as well as distribution process to consumers. “For instance, a lot of manufacturers still use hazardous substances in the preservation of ingredients, synthetic dyes and packaging products that are not safe for the health of consumers,” he added. To deal with the increasing consumer awareness of safe and healthy food as well as the threat
of imported food products having implemented the system of health and food safety, according to Saroyini, it was then required the education and mentoring for the SMEs producing the food and beverage. They had to understand about the production of safe food and beverage. Especially for the small- and medium-scale food and beverage industry had also been provided with food security management system known as the Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Point (HACCP) which was then integrated with the quality management system of ISO 9001 with the series of ISO 2000. “Small-scale food and beverage producers still have very limited understanding on the principles of food health and safety. Evidently, many food labels are still not including information on the content and expiry date of foods and beverages let alone the number of registration test of food hygiene and safety issued by the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM),” he said. He added that regulators and the public were expected to improve communication or to provide counseling to small- and mediumscale manufacturers related to the importance of food hygiene and
safety for business continuity. In addition, the safety of consumer posed a form of producer’s responsibility, though having not implemented comprehensive food hygiene and safety system. A food observer of Bali, Ketut Sugiana, expressed similar opinion. He admitted that the Indonesian processed food products were still far behind so that they were not ready to compete. If this condition was not addressed, then the domestic food producers would be eroded by foreign businessmen when entering the free market. “More unfortunately, our processed food products are alleged to be not hygienic. How can they compete overseas?” he said. (kmb36)
