Sharing Wife

At the height of the Himalayas, Sharing brothers wife

When Tashi Sangmo was 17, he married 14-year-old neighbor in a remote village in Nepal. And as part of the deal, he also agreed to marry her husband's brother.

In ancient times, son of every family in Upper Dolpa region would marry the same woman, but the practice of polyandry is now starting to disappear along with the modernization era.

"Everything will be easier this way because we were all together in one family. Are divided between different wives, and I was in control," said Sangmo, a Tibetan dialect and speaking through an interpreter. "My two brothers and I am looking for income that determines how the money would be used."


When Sangmo married Mingmar Lama 14 years ago, a younger brother Mingmar, Post who was 11 years old, will be involved also in this marriage. The practice of polyandry in some isolated villages in Nepal has been going on for hundreds of years. Now they all have three boys aged eight, six and four.

"I want to share this bond with my brother because life would be easier for both of us," said Post, 25, speaking at the family home in the village of Simen, 4000 meters above sea level and about five days' walk from the nearest town.

People Dolpa above is part of a caravan through route between Nepal and Tibet. They still trade on the route, including the lead yak carrying salt from Tibet and rice from the southern Terai plains.

Education and Poverty

Explained Poverty Through Education

This is what might be required and should be done Djoko Nugroho Blora district to carry out the mission and vision, a highly anticipated community.

We are not ashamed to imitate other cities like Solo for something that is beneficial to the district Blora.

Just look at last year's achievements, the new Government of Indonesia announced last month the city of Solo may be obtained at say spectacular.

After gaining recognition in the peaceful handling of street vendors and government administration free from corruption, the latest achievement is carved maketh Solo as the pilot area in providing education that is able to reach the poor.

The program is considered to successful raise the prestige of education Solo is Surakarta Community Education Assistance (BPMKS) which was launched a year ago. A new program that has not been very visible results.

To break down poverty, Solo City Government also launched a package of Surakarta Health Maintenance (POM). As BPMKS, with PKMS enabling poor families can enjoy low-cost health services, even free for gold card holders.

So far, implementation and PKMS BPMKS still encountered many obstacles and halting on the road. Synchronization between agencies has not been seen. However, because the program is concerned with very basic needs of the public, health and education, it is appropriate when all stakeholders contribute to success.

As a follow-up of the program BPMKS, Solo City Government requires that middle and high school / vocational school 10% of the country gave rations to poor families in the admission of new students (PSB) of the school year 2011/2012 is.

Sense refers to a family of poor families who have BPMKS card. This provision applies to all public schools, not least school labeled stubs international school (RSBI) and labeled acceleration. As is known, labeled RSBI school more enjoyable and acceleration of the upper middle class.

To ensure that a minimum quota of 10% could actually enjoyed the poor, Disdikpora Solo issued two regulations to support it. The second regulation is the first, giving the children of poor families to apply early, one week before the regular.

Second, the average value of at least a lower report card, the regular 7.5 7.0 while poor families. The issue is whether these regulations are sufficient for an umbrella for children from poor families to study at leading public school? These issues need to be known for quality education is believed to be one way to parse and enforce the release of the tangled threads of poverty.

Be aware that the tangled threads or a vicious circle of poverty is not easy to disentangle. Education of children from poor families are less successful because they live in the grip of poverty. Instead, they still live in poverty due to lack of success in wading through education. Thus, an effective way to break poverty is to eradicate poverty itself.

All other business, by way of education or health, for example, merely to support and complement. Although education serves as contributing factors, if taken seriously will have a significant impact in improving the living standards of poor families.

Seriousness was realized in the form of optimization of educational services to all students without selective logging. The origins of the students do not need to be considered. Chosen as a model city of Solo-friendly education for poor families is a big gamble that must be accounted for in public.

The betting public

When students are not able to PSBs socialization and achievement in one school labeled RSBI, there is one participant who asked the question quite intriguing.

The question, "Does the school also provides facilities and installation of laptop internet (at home) to students from poor families?" Therefore, the questioner continued, "The legend says that at this school a lot of tasks that require students to have a second facility. "

Regrettably, the answer is still floating school leaders. But, in essence, the school is not willing to provide the facilities to students from poor families.

Above case, though it looks simple, showing the complexity of the points that will arise when the children of poor families are in excellent schools that require certain prerequisites to follow.

Although tuition fees have been released, especially for the money and the development of SPP, it is not adequate. To ensure that children from poor families to feel comfortable learning in schools excel, the desire to both government (political will) is not enough.

Which was more conveniently situated on the necessity of changing the culture of the school administrators, both principals and educators.

Johannes Muller (Prisma ,1980:42-52) early warning that the lives of children from poor families have distinctive characteristics. They are generally under a cloudy heaven: from the maturing process, socialization in the family, limited parental education, nutritional needs, language barriers and worst of all, they live in a "culture of silence".

Having been raised in such a world, not surprisingly, they are very sensitive to certain issues, especially those that lead to things that are personal.

On the other hand, the results of research Michael Fullan (1993) suggests that educators tend to have lower expectations of children from poor families.

Whereas the level of hope or expectation of teachers in teaching is directly proportional to the level of learning success of students. If we assume that the research Fullan also applies to teachers in Indonesia, especially in the Solo, it becomes important signs to watch out for.

Based on the above, we could conclude that the attempt to parse poverty through education is not an easy task but a steep road full of potholes that challenge.

Without an adequate understanding of the characteristics of the children of poor families, businesses embraced will backfire and actually counterproductive. Open space for the children of poor families rather than to veil an effort to attract more money from the public.

Great job waiting in front of the school management to raise expectations of the teachers to have a rational judgment and empathy for all learners. No matter from a family of rich or poor, who can afford to pay school fees or for free, kids are carrying a laptop or not. They are all students should be educated with the love of a teacher to pupil.

When traced back, BPKMS program was born a year ago before the elections won by the city of Solo-Rudy Jokowi partner absolutely. It is undeniable that this program can not be separated from their campaign promises on education both free.

Therefore, efforts to realize the promise was a big gamble Solo City Government. If it fails, it will go down in a black sheet of the Solo as a public lie unforgivable.

Similarly, in Blora Regent hopefully Djoko Nugroho and vice-regent H Abu Nafi can realize the vision and mission, especially the field of education who would soon face a new Educate Admission.

Management Nggladrah (Reckless)

Maybe spending money means nothing to Rp 100 thousand, compared with the amount to be received tens of millions of teachers who are certified in six months.
 

Even more than half of them, arguably willing to spend his pocket for a variety of things from the creature by the name of the certification can be didapatkanya.
 

But for teachers who teach in high school or junior high school course, the calculations are clearly appropriate management must be a priority. Even with jtegas say whatever cost incurred in the activity, provided with a clear provision must be fulfilled.
 

Several studies in Indonesia, about the behavior of teachers in each level of education (elementary, junior high, senior high), acknowledges that it is easier to set which educate teachers at primary level than at the level above.
 

Meaning in terms of organizing and directing something, though perhaps less by the rules or do not fit the function of management, they are widely agreed.
Possible factor is that by rating the author, many elementary school teachers make the education department is trusted by leading an activity.
 

Even the leader in Blora never any mention of who did not like the application of management functions called Nggladrah management.
 

As is known word derived from French Management ménagement old, who has a sense of art to implement and manage. Mary Parker Follett, for example, defines management as the art work done through others.
 

This definition means that a manager responsible for managing and directing others to achieve organizational goals. Ricky W. Griffin defines management as a process of planning, organizing, coordinating, and controlling resources to achieve the objectives (goals) to effectively and efficiently.
 

Effective means the goal can be achieved in accordance with the plan, while efficient means that tasks are properly carried out, organized, and in accordance with the schedule.
 

So the economists agreed to conclude a four basic management functions contained in the Management of the management functions that are closely related in it.
 

In general there are four (4) a lot of management functions known to the public that the planning function (planning), the function of organizing (organizing), the function of direction (actuiting and directing) and the control function (controlling).
 

For organizing the function, there is also a function staffing (staff establishment). The managers in the organization of business enterprises are expected to master all the functions of the existing management to get the most out of management.
 

Was the meaning of the four functions of management can be explained as follows:
A. Planning Function
 Planning function is an activity to make the company's goal and followed by making a variety of plans to achieve the intended purpose.
2. Organizing Function
 Perngorganisasian function is an arrangement of activities on human resources and other physical resources are owned by the company to carry out the plan set and reach objectives.
3. Direction function
 Function of direction is a function of the manager to improve the effectiveness of leadership and work to maximum efficiency and create a healthy working environment, dynamic, and so forth
4. Control functions.
 Control function is an activity to assess performance based on standards that have been made for changes or improvements made later if necessary
If the above are not necessarily applicable in all activities of the problems arising in the future. And also will not Manejemen Nggladrah occurrence arising in the community.

December, as the final pieces to the initial nu-ju. Many important moment occurred in December, but all just as celebrated as a mere ceremonial without regard to the meaning and purpose. 

That was only celebrated by some quarters only. There is some momentum that should get more attention from various parties in December. 

First, in the first week of this month there is World AIDS Day, a momentum which is celebrated by all citizens in the entire universe in order to remind all parties about the disease that has no cure to date. On December 2 the various activities commonly performed only on the introduction of the dangers of AIDS, ways of prevention, to treatment of patients. 

These activities are usually carried out by humanitarian activists. They wore red ribbons and disseminate the messages through various media, took to the streets, public places or through the mass media. 

However, after the end of the day as if nothing else is paying attention, does anyone know anyway to do research on drugs now HIV / AIDS is still underway. The majority of people only know the World AIDS Day on that date. 

Second, December 9 is celebrated as International Anti-Corruption Day. This warning is relevant to the condition of our state and nation today. Corruption is high in Indonesia requires all parties to give more attention to efforts to eradicate corruption. 

Esensi 

Momentum is even used the event to blaspheme the opposition forces are distorted chaotic state of government corruption. Of course this is done to gain public sympathy which has reduced confidence in the government right now. 

Third, a day after the World Anti-Corruption Day is a Day of Human Rights (Human Rights) International. On December 10, 1949 declaring the universal human rights. The Declaration is the world's best products to protect the dignity of humanity. 

Since then, the freedom of human rights has been voiced in seluruk throughout the country in the world, but only in the interval of one day after the warning, there are still many people in the world who has not felt the full freedom.

Not for the budget formality - DOCUMENT 2010

Not for the budget formality

Original Text Click here
   Soon the turn of the year, less than a month away. However, signs of optimizing the absorption of the budget has not revealed a significant increase.
   Not only are the absorption Blora district budget (budget) is still low. It turned up earlier this month, the rate of uptake of the new state budget reached 56% of the total ceiling of USD 1126.14 APBNP trillion in 2010. 

   In fact, in terms of central government spending, the new 47% or less than half!
   Based on data from the Directorate of Treasury intranet, the realization of the absorption of the state budget by December 1, 2010 valued at Rp 556.28 trillion (56.01%). Realization consists of central government expenditures valued at Rp 343.05 trillion (47.59%) and transfer to the region valued at Rp 213.23 trillion (78.33%).
   This condition is of course quite memrihatinkan and seen that development in this country in recent years is always tinged with obstacles and "failure". Silly, symptoms like these occur over and over again, year after year. It seems there is something wrong with our budget system.
   A concrete example for the low absorption of the budget was experienced by the Ministry of Public Works, which until the third quarter of this year are new to Rp 25 trillion, or 61.8% of the total budget of Rp 37 trillion allocated in the 2010 budget. The agency is responsible for national infrastructure development activities.
   In fact, in the field is clearly visible how many irrigation networks are no longer optimal to support the increase in agricultural production. In addition, most of the road network in this country can say no longer smooth, even at some point or more locations to be called a buffalo wallow rather than road.
   The low absorption of this budget became increasingly at the local level. The role of local government officials are so dominant for determining whether a road-building project. Coupled with the budget disbursement not smooth, complete absorption of the budget problem is complexity.
   At the beginning of the year too, Parliament has warned to impose sanctions for ministerial / institutional budget absorption rate is low, otherwise the award will be prepared well for the budget that could absorb optimally. We do not yet know whether the system of reward and punishment will be carried out effectively, given the House also includes agency that is associated with the smooth disbursement of the budget, for example.
   To time ago, the government made a breakthrough in efforts to boost the absorption of the budget include the acceleration of the tender before the budget was passed, requiring ministries and agencies prepare procurement plans (procurement plan) when the delivery plan ministerial activities of the institution (RKAKL) in the House.
    Then the project leader's job to prolong the period of one to three periods so that the auction process can be accelerated, and to shorten and simplify the administrative process of disbursement of funds in the State Treasury Service Office (KPPN).
     Apparently, the breakthrough is not quite managed to break through the ice in the process of absorption of the budget. This is evident from the emergence of similar problems from time to time. In fact, the level of uptake of low budget, not only harms the people who should benefit from the program or project financed by state budget, the trickle effect (multiplier effect) was also inhibited.
    Contractors and subcontractors who originally did the program / project that would delay the absorption of labor, so that quite a lot of families who have lost the opportunity to earn income from the project / program. Material industry also support the program / project, are forced to suspend production. How complex the effects of the low absorption of the budget.
    Often appear in the news media insist that some areas of the budget proposed to build the infrastructure of this and that. As soon as the budget request is approved, uh, budget and budget allocations are received rather than hasten to build infrastructure, as proposed, but the "schooled" by the way bought Bank Indonesia Certificates (SBI).
   Another mode is frequently encountered is the "deposit" to fund the construction of regional development banks to increase capital-while-bank owned by local governments as well. How the model looks at all this subterfuge is retained in order to obtain "additional revenue" for the area so that the PAD cash (revenue) as if enlarged.
    For what is a significant additional income for the area? No other than to finance activities that are not essential and not for the benefit of local people's welfare improvement, for example, for cost comparison study, the procurement of cars and laptops, to the official uniforms for the regency / municipal / provincial and local legislators.
    When it comes to the effectiveness of the budget for the people that in fact the taxpayers, the benefits are returned to the people, both as an incentive or form of increased welfare, very, very small. Not commensurate with the size of the budget itself.
    It is time for the organizers of the country, both at central and regional levels, for the Repentant and realize that the development budget, which in principle should be withheld from the people returned optimally to improve the welfare of the people anyway, not even enjoyed by the congregation.
    Government together with the regulators (DPR / DPRD) must be more intelligent design, allocate and manage the budget in order to run properly. The low absorption of the budget can also be read as ketidakcerdasan the organizers state and therefore they should be ashamed, if you still have a sense of shame to the people who have them serve it.
    Development budget is made not just for show or for pantes-pantesan, but as a mechanism to run the people's trust in order to encourage an increase in welfare of the people also, more specifically those who are on marginal lines. If state officials are not serious or not serious about running the trust, is not the proper term for them is a traitor trust the people? (Author Budi Agung Drs.E. Rustanto - Leader tabloid INFOKU)

Day of Reflection Blora

The philosophy Gembong Amijoyo Barongan and Regent Djoko Nugroho

It is said that an age before the district Blora stand, all the territory covered by forests.
    At that time the area is very dense forest all so very rare human being through and across the region.
    It is also claimed by anyone in the middle of this forest, will certainly menemuhi various obstacles. Both obstacles and distractions like the magical creatures or the other.
    There was a man who guarded the teak forests (Alas Wengker-Java language) is the largest in the world, who have extraordinary supernatural powers.
     Perseverance in meditation and closer to the Creator, made him a powerful person dijamanya. People were calling it an age as Gembong Amijoyo.
    In the jungle is their meditation he receives magical voice, which in essence that this forest (Blora yore-red) is a wealthy area. And he (Gembong Amijoyo-red) by the magical voice was ordered to guard the forest and its contents.
     After meditating Gembong Amijoyo no matter who has supernatural powers that can transform itself into a giant tiger (Singo Barong / Barongan-ed) it, to keep its promise to maintain the forest and its contents from any interference.
     It is also claimed that anyone would pass or take advantage of these forests may have to ask him. It is said that there is folklore is still growing in Blora, there is a herd of robbers are destroying the forest. They cut down forests illegally. for other dikerajaan sale.
      Because the area was in disrepair, the Gembong Amijoyo angry and took their fight. Those hundreds of people present, eventually the legs below the knees Gembong Amijoyo.
      Either have a few thousand people who have experienced such events, so that every man who would destroy the forest and its content, is bound to be afraid when they hear the name of the Gembong who have this incredible miracle.
      In that story as well since the Gembong Amijoyo maintained, people can feel the forest sidelines and enjoy the forest. So at that time was prosperous society virtually on the size dijamannya.
      Now this era of government regents Blora 27 to this (Djoko Nugroho-ed) it was time to maintain the natural wealth for the welfare of his people.
     Steps taken to support Blora district chairman of the parliament demanding higher for the oil to the center, is one more step forward. Step that virtually force the Gembong Amijoyo Barongan modern era. Which is to preserve the earth Blora, to the welfare of its people.
      Not only as a spectator only, while the contested crops Blora those centers. While we are living in Blora only be assigned to the residue.
Blora original author and has led three different regent for a journalist in Blora, well aware of the duties Regent Blora to 27 (Djoko Nigroho) This is the toughest.

      Free education to realize the high school level and Achieve Free service all types of health center services and Class III in the BRSD are two of the 12 Mission and Vision to be achieved within three years since he led.
      For that one solution is to increase revenue, ie, the demand for higher oil yields. Long live the Blora district to 261 and survivors served Mr KOKOK (calls Blora Regent Djoko Nugroho). Blora welfare of the people there are in your hands. (Authors: Drs Ec. Agung Budi Rustanto, Chief editor of tabloid INFOKU)
