He predicted that farmers will begin planting next week as water flows into the rice fields Farmers must hunt for subsidized fertilizer They must request a recommendation letter from the village in order to be listed as a recipient at the kiosk A picture of an empty rice field in Jagapura Wetan Village The farmers have not been able to plant rice due to water scarcity "The information is that one hectare of rice field (the quota) is 2 quintals of urea fertilizer and 1 quintal of Phonska That's already taking up the fertilizer quota for the previous season then just use uya(salt)," said Aksan Maulana (52) one hectare of rice fields requires 4-5 quintals of fertilizer Farmers are forced to find non-subsidized fertilizers which can cost up to IDR 1 million per quintal much higher than subsidized fertilizers which range from IDR 250,000 per quintal "There are also stalls that sell subsidies in a package (with non-subsidized) The price is Rp 300,000 per quintal," said Aksan farmers even label the non-subsidized fertilizer brand included in the package as "stupid" stated that issues with water and subsidized fertilizers have increased the planting costs for farmers from the usual Rp 8 million per hectare to over Rp 10 million per hectare The rental fee for tractors alone costs Rp 1.5 million per hectare and the cost of harvesting is Rp 2 million per hectare Residents carried non-subsidized fertilizers during the Fertilizer Discount Festival at the Pupuk Warehouse Line III in Kedawung PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) provided around 5,000 discount coupons of 40 percent for farmers who wish to purchase non-subsidized fertilizers Not yet included in the cost is the expenditure for driving away the bird pests that swarm when the rice begins to turn yellow Farmers even buy fireworks for around IDR 40,000 to drive away these pests It's even sold in the market," he said with a smile this father of three is hoping for a good price for his unhusked rice This figure is far above the government's purchase price of IDR 6,200 per kg (the farmers) will only tire themselves out," he said During last year's November Gadu harvest season Rokhman obtained 7 tons of dry harvest paddy (GKP) He sold approximately 6.5 tons of his harvest for Rp 7,000 per kg This means that he was able to earn Rp 45.5 million from his harvest over four months "I used the money to pay for one year's rent of the land I paid off my debts and used some of it as capital for the current planting season," he stated if the price of rice drops to Rp 5,000 per kg Rokhman is certain that he will suffer losses as it will not match the production cost." with a harvest yield of 7 tons of rice and a price of Rp 5,000 per kg the cost of planting was over Rp 10 million and the cost of land rental reached Rp 20 million he also could not pay back his debts for fertilizer and pesticides Farmers in Cirebon are also struggling to protect their rice crops from rat attacks you can see tons of rats hanging out here," said Toto (49) He has gone through this routine for almost a dozen nights He had to sow rice seeds twice because they were eaten by mice Toto also spent Rp 750,000 to replant them not including labor costs and staying in the field and lack of subsidized fertilizers are some of the difficulties faced by farmers "Farming is the most patient job in the world Income alone has to wait for three months," said Kuryadi the Chairman of the Cirebon National Peasant and Fishermen Coordination shows a rice field attacked by rat pests in Jemaras Lor Village The rat pests forced farmers to repeat rice seedlings up to four times Farmers also struggled to obtain rice seedlings for planting The difficulty of growing rice is also evident in the lack of young generations who are involved in agriculture but it seems like it's just a formality," he said That is why he urges the government to facilitate farmers' businesses by providing adequate agricultural infrastructure and ensuring affordable fertilizer prices should also be profitable for farmers but not overly burdensome for consumers the produce of farmers is easily obtained in the market but the effort of farmers to produce rice is incredibly difficult The government should not only be quick in stabilizing food prices but also in responding promptly to problems faced by farmers," said Kuryadi The Head of Agriculture Department of Cirebon Regency said that his team has been trying to help farmers solve various production problems such as assisting them with seeds and requesting the Ministry of

Plumbon has something that sets it apart: a monument that names some of those believed killed when the nationwide bloodletting engulfed this hamlet half a century ago Down a rutted track that passes a flimsy stall selling sugary tea the waist-high marker sits in the center of a rectangular clearing An edge is broken off; locals blame that on children’s mischief And it adds that as many as 24 people could be buried here Erected in 2015 after activists persuaded villagers the monument is a rare acknowledgement of the victims of Indonesia’s anti-communist massacres which historians estimate killed half a million people it also illustrates how thoroughly the history of that brutal period has been erased The fog of memory may have placed it in the wrong place entirely Political expediency and the passing of time may prevent anyone from ever knowing for sure ignited a months-long bloodbath by soldiers The military blamed communists for the coup attempt the killing spree and mass incarcerations ensured that pro-Western general Suharto would sideline and ultimately replace President Sukarno a socialist and anti-colonialist at odds with the U.S After decades of distorted victor’s history in which the events of 1965-66 were depicted as a heroic uprising the government of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo this year permitted an unprecedented symposium that brought together survivors Organizers had hoped to pave the way for reconciliation and justice followed by a possible death blow: A cabinet reshuffle installed a former military chief with a checkered human rights record to the ministry overseeing work to locate mass graves Even if reconciliation efforts are revived old age whittles the ranks of witnesses every year one of the mass organizations of Indonesia’s Communist Party the world’s third-largest at the time and a powerful player in the nation’s politics Sabar’s lips trembled as he recalled being arrested in October 1965 of the Kendal district government with at least six of the men named on the monument Plumbon is part of the district in Central Java province they were the most violent devils,” Sabar said at his home in a village of traditional low-slung Javanese houses Sabar said he is certain only of the fate of one man on the monument: Soesatjo whom he remembered as a Kendal district official and Communist Party member He said the killings occurred during the fasting month of Ramadan which places them between late December 1965 and late January 1966 Sabar said guards would call out names of condemned prisoners at midday and isolate them until taking them away in the evening “I remember Soesatjo because he was the highest rank of the local administration jailed in Kawedanan,” he said “I heard his name called out and saw him being isolated I heard from a guard that Soesatjo had been shot to death in Plumbon.” Sabar recounted how before his own arrest he saw members of an Islamic militia kill the teenage son of a local Communist Party member by dragging him behind a jeep believes all eight men named on it are buried there but concedes there’s no proof unless the site is exhumed and it’s unclear if and when officials will begin work to examine mass graves in Plumbon and elsewhere Adi said the bigger point of the monument is to serve as a symbol and draw attention to a crime against humanity for which no one has ever been called to account Few people alive witnessed the killings in Plumbon is now toothless and aged beyond his 68 years “I never want to see it (the gravesite) again Some people even say grass won’t grow there,” he said Interviewed at his spartanly furnished home while cradling a young relative Supar said he was a naively curious 17-year-old at the time He knew that an older friend with government ties was “going around doing things” in the aftermath of the abortive coup ‘Can I go with you?’ ‘Just wait,’ he said ‘Your time will come.’ And then my time came.” or later and raining heavily when 12 alleged communists were pulled from the truck that had delivered them to Plumbon “They were told to sit down on the ground side by side They prayed or recited whatever verse they knew,” Supar said “After the execution I was told to shine the flashlight I couldn’t look so I turned my face away ‘Don’t look away!’ Those still moving but it wasn’t perfect,” he said “I heard that some people buried them properly the next day.” then a village of less than two dozen houses He spoke to the AP while sitting on the ground where he remembers covering partially buried bodies warning everyone to stay indoors one evening ‘All of you must stay at home tonight If you go out of the house I will arrest you myself.'” Still Sukar was able to see from his porch a small convoy of military jeeps and trucks pass by It’s not certain that Sukar and Supar remember the same event his father-in-law told him to gather some men and “go bury the PKI,” the acronym for the Communist Party But I was also scared of my father-in-law,” Sukar said When he and three other men went to the spot The legs were sticking out of the dirt,” he said “I couldn’t see their faces.” Many who were spared execution still suffered wretched deaths said they were crammed into a fetid cell with 100 or so other alleged communists and fed only 60 to 70 corn kernels daily they would cover up the body to get their food ration until the smell alerted the guards “I could feel the cavities between the bones in my hands,” said Sabar In the decades of the Suharto “New Order” era that followed the scale and ferocity of the killings were expunged from national consciousness another narrative began seeping into the national conversation The creation of the Plumbon monument remains a rare act of compromise in a society where political and religious leaders still say even symbols of communism threaten social order an organizer of the symposium on the massacres and the son of a general killed in the abortive 1965 coup said progress on reconciliation will continue once the lackluster economy improves and the government can focus on other issues and that is people came out to express and state what they think about the tragedy of 1965 whereas before nobody dares to say anything,” he said said learning the truth is not about revenge Those who tortured him are dead now or senile “I don’t know who was in the mass graves They deserve to be buried properly.” AP photographer Dita Alangkara and video journalist Andi Jatmiko contributed to this report Stay secure and make sure you have the best reading experience

Terry Pratchett, Jasper Fforde and Douglas Adams. If pressed, I'd say Formula 1 and Red Bull, and my family traditionally supports West Ham, but I'm no Gary Goals or anything. Scotland in the sun, walking somewhere incredibly remote. Too many to mention, so I'll go with a biggie: non-apologies. "If it seems I've caused offence, I apologise for that" is very easily fixed with an "I'm sorry." Sorted. Drink? Timothy Taylor's Landlord Ale or some moderately absurd gin and tonic concoction. 13. Who is your best friend and how do you know each other? We met when we worked together at Empire magazine. She's called Ally. Yep. Ali and Ally. Yes, and from all accounts they sound just like Morgan Freeman. I've also met Chris Hemsworth a few times and I am starting to think he is Thor. :: Ali Plumb will be holding a workshop for aspiring film reviewers and journalists on October 30 at Belfast's QFT as part of the Cinemagic International Film and Television Festival for Young People.

It closes on a hand-drawn credits sequence which is set to New York singer-songwriter Regina Spektor‘s melancholic cover of The Beatles’ ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ Ali Plumb’s verdict: “Another criminally overlooked movie… There have been many Beatles covers over the years and you’ve heard Beatles songs in so many different movies I think when you take a song that is that well-known you’ve got to get someone really good and it’s got to feel different I think [Regina Spektor] finds that pleasant mix of doing justice to the original as well as adding enough newness ‘Trouble Man’ by Marvin Gaye plays on an iPhone as Cap lies in a hospital bed Following the events of Marvel Studios’ Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers is unfrozen after decades asleep thanks to cryogenics. Later, he draws up a list of cultural touchstones to catch up on – including Marvin Gaye‘s smooth R&B number ‘Trouble Man’ You can hear the track playing on an iPhone during Captain America: Civil War Ali Plumb’s verdict: “Marvel music typically gets a bit of a bad rap in terms of score People say it all sounds too similar or forgettable but I don’t think that’s quite right… ‘Trouble Man’ is actually from another movie it’s just a really good example of how movies can introduce you to a whole world of other music.” A group of kids approaches a fancy-looking pink Cadillac, their eyes widening in shock. The camera pans slowly up the car’s grill as the soothing piano-led outro from Eric Clapton‘s 1971 rock classic ‘Layla’ plays in the background A windshield slowly comes into view revealing two dead bodies presumably ‘wacked’ by ruthless mobster Jimmy (Robert De Niro) It’s perfect cinematic juxtaposition from the master Ali Plumb’s verdict: “Martin Scorsese was actually there with a piano when he was shooting which is a level of detail I find truly amazing.” In one of cinema’s coolest dream sequences Jeff Bridges visits a psychedelic bowling alley featuring Saddam Hussein a sky-high shelf filled with shiny bowling shoes and Julianne Moore dressed as a viking Kenny Rogers’ soft rock ballad ‘Just Dropped In’ seems almost dreary by comparison Ali Plumb’s verdict: “This is my favourite film of all time but I would say that is probably the one I’ve seen the most in my life… This sequence is such an amazing flight of fancy from the Coen Brothers and they somehow pull it off [The bit] where he’s walking down the stairs swinging – I just love it; and that song is unbelievably cool too.” Lucy Liu in ‘Kill Bill: Volume 1’ Samurai of the underworld O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and her guards arrive at ‘The House of Blue Leaves’ walking in slow motion (obviously) as Tomoyasu Hotei’s disco rock banger adds tension and energy to the pictures on the screen Quentin Tarantino’s magpie crime flick contains dozens of deep cut tracks Ali Plumb’s verdict: “This is a song from an older Japanese movie that was a remake of another Japanese series [Kinji Fukasaku’s Battles Without Honor and Humanity] And what’s interesting about that is it was plucked from another movie because Quentin loved that song but didn’t care for the film but in reality it’s actually written for another movie.” Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s charming, laugh-a-minute animated adventure is perhaps the most fun you can have at the cinema. The only thing more enjoyable than watching it? Letting loose to Tegan and Sara‘s sweet-as-candy title track – the pop mega-hit ‘Everything Is AWESOME!!!’ Ali Plumb’s verdict: “Kids and adults alike were bopping around in the car to this song It’s a parody of capitalism and indoctrination taking over your life – and how we all seem to want to conform conform… It’s also incredibly catchy but it’s saying something that people don’t realise until later I think there’ll be loads of kids turning 18 or 19 who will listen to it again and go: ‘Oh yeah it’s also written as ‘Everything Is AWESOME!!!’ [in capitals] with three exclamation marks at the end Ali Plumb’s verdict: “He’s shaving himself and he cuts himself while his girlfriend is looking at the pastries There’s something about that song and I know there have been memes where people play it over different bits of footage but that movie is an exceptional work of art Jordan Peele is a genius… I hadn’t heard the song properly until I’d seen the Get Out opening sequence It really popped off the screen for me and I love those moments where you watch the movie and go: ‘I have to know [what that track is]’.” Ali Plumb presents ‘Radio 1’s Movie Mixtapes’ – available to listen to on BBC Sounds now The world’s defining voice in music and pop culture: breaking what’s new and what’s next since 1952 Celebrity News Eve Plumb is best known for playing Jan Brady the Brady sister who won the hearts of The Brady Bunch fans by being the awkward While her character became notorious for her “Marcia Plumb has a far more fascinating life beyond the sitcom spotlight As Plumb turns 67, there is no better time to read about the lesser-known details of her life From her surprising music ties to major interests here are five things you probably didn’t know about Eve Plumb A post shared by theeightiesrule (@theeightiesrule) Eve Plumb’s birthday trivia isn’t complete without mentioning her unique connection to The Monkees Her father worked in the music business and had ties to the band which gave young Plumb the chance to visit their recording sessions She even sat in during takes for “Last Train to Clarksville,” deepening her lifelong love for music When asked which Brady Bunch character she would have preferred playing Plumb surprised everyone by choosing Alice The idea of playing the outsider appealed to her more than the emotional turmoil of Jan Brady In 1976, Plumb shattered her squeaky-clean image by starring in Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway her performance drew critical praise and high ratings proving she could handle dramatic material and escape Jan Brady’s long shadow Plumb’s birthday celebrations might focus on her acting talents, but she’s also an accomplished painter who enjoys working with oils Her work has been featured in galleries across the country since she began her art journey in the ‘90s This quickly became her main creative outlet After the show’s end, Plumb, Michael Lookinland, and Susan Olsen planned to form a musical group called The Brady 3 They took promo photos and held rehearsals the project reflected Eve’s eagerness to branch out creatively
