فخارة العدس / Fukharat l'adas (Palestinian clay-pot lentils)

The name of this dish comes from "فَخَّار" ("fakhar"), meaning "pottery," and "عَدَس" ("'adas"), meaning "lentils." It is traditionally cooked in a قدرة ("qedra," clay pot) made from clay refined from local soil and shaped in family-owned pottery workshops. This type of pot is also used to make a lamb and rice dish of the same name commonly eaten in Gaza and Hebron. The qedra is filled with the cooking ingredients, sealed with a flour-water paste or with aluminum foil, and placed in a wood-fired oven—or buried in an earth oven—to cook for several hours, or even overnight.

This simple dish cooks red lentils with yellow onion, olive oil, and cumin to produce a smooth, earthy stew; additional olive oil and fresh lemon juice squeezed on after cooking add freshness and a tart lift, and شطة (shatta, red chili paste) is spooned in for heat.

As of 2019, the number of families producing qedra in Gaza had decreased from 40 or 50 to 3 or 4, according to workshop owner Sabri Attallah. The Israeli blockade which began in 2007 closed off foreign markets for Palestinian qedras, while cheaper, metal imports cut in on the local market. When the pots are exported to Israel, the multiple checkpoints and mandatory searches between Gaza and Israel cause many of them to break. The compression of Palestinians into small areas by Israeli government and settlers also spells problems for the qedra industry, as the smoke caused by firing pots reduces air quality for nearby residents. Many consider pottery-making to be both an integral part of Palestinian identity, and to be dying out: thus the targeting of Palestinians' economic self-determination targets cuisine and culture as well.

Today, Israeli weapons threaten Palestinian existence. Palestine Action has called for bail fund donations to aid in their storming, occupying, shutting down, and dismantling of factories and offices owned by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems.

For the lentils:

1 cup split red lentils, rinsed

1 yellow onion, chopped

3 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground

Salt, to taste

About 3 cups water

For the shatta (شطة):

100g (about 1 cup) fresh red chili peppers

2 tsp table salt

2 Tbsp olive oil

To serve:

Olive oil

Juice of 1/2 lemon, or to taste

Sweet peppers, radishes, spring onions, pickles, olives, leafy greens, shatta (red chili pepper paste).

Instructions:

For the shatta:

1. Wash peppers and remove stems. Use a mortar and pestle, food processor, or potato ricer to reduce peppers to a paste.

2. Add salt and stir. Add olive oil and stir. Store extra shatta in a jar in the fridge; cover with a thin layer of olive oil to avoid spoiling.

For the lentils (in the oven):

1. Coat the inside a piece of clay cookware of sufficient size, such as a Palestinian qedra or a Moroccan tanjia or tajine, with olive oil. Add the rest of the ingredients, followed by enough water to cover the lentils by at least an inch (about 3 cups). Make sure that the opening of the pot is completely covered (e.g. with a layer of aluminum foil, and then the pot's lid).

2. Place the clay pot in your oven and then heat it to 500 °F (260 °C).

3. Reduce the heat to 150 °F (65 °C) and cook for 2-3 hours, until lentils are mushy.

For the lentils (on the stovetop):

1. Heat olive oil in the base of your clay cookware, or a large pot. Add onions and cumin and fry briefly.

2. Add water and lentils and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes on medium.

3. Lower heat to low and cook for another 30 minutes, until consistency is smooth and mushy. Add water as necessary.

To serve:

Transfer lentils to individual serving bowls. Top with lemon juice and olive oil. Serve alongside shatta (which you may choose to spoon into your bowl) and fresh vegetables.

like guys i know that observational bias is really powerful, but there's a reason why i keep trying to impress upon you that

RE as it exists in fandom

and RE as it exists within the industry

may as well be two completely separate realities. and if you want to take a look at where resident evil is headed as a series and what its intentions are, you need to completely shut off the fandom's influence, because the fandom exists in a completely separate reality of how the games are being developed, marketed, and sold and for what purpose.

Conventional RE fandom wisdom: RE6 is the aeon game and aeon is the biggest ship, therefore the remakes would never go against it and retcon aeon. it would upset too many people. RE industry reality:

Conventional RE fandom wisdom: looking at RE through a heteronormative lens only because we live in a heteronormative society doesn't mean that that's what the devs' intentions are RE industry reality:

Conventional RE fandom wisdom: ada is the most popular RE woman by far RE industry reality:

don't let the bullshit noise that the fandom creates around you influence your perception of what this series actually is, what it's doing, or who it's catering to.

5 Januari 2024

Gue inget banget november kemarin dengerin ini sambil jalan di daerah GBK. Abis main dari lapangan softball sambil belajar persiapan CPNS. Ngeraguin diri sendiri, ngerasa semua yang gue perjuangkan dan usahakan gak ada gunanya, yada yada.

Berasa diterowongan gelap yang entah dimana ujungnya.

Hari ini, belum genap sebulan gue magang di focallure, gue udah dipindah posisi di tempat yang gue mau: marketing analyst.

Semuanya berawal dari salahsatu partner kerja gue (panggil aja jasmin) yang udah fulltime ngajuin buat diadain evaluasi sama general manager, tadinya mau diadain senin, tapi ditarik ke hari ini. Untungnya jam set 9 gue udah di kantor.

Langsung ngebutlah tadi pagi. Dari jam set 9 selesai jam set 11. Awalnya evaluasi ini cuma wadah buat jasmin sama anak-anak konten buat ngeluarin uneg-uneg yang kurang ini itunya. Tapi gue inisiatif buat present data dan segala yang pernah gue pelajari selama ini dari pengalaman-pengalaman sebelumnya.

Selesai meeting dan break, gue dipanggil ke ruangan manager. Dari content creator, langsung dioffer buat nempatin marketing analyst aja. Posisi gue dibawah spv, padahal gue masih magang. Meski begitu, gue udah punya bekel pengelaman sama ilmu bootcamp. Jadi gak linglung. Gue tau harus apa: beres-beres. Organisir. Bikin sistem.

Gue kerjain semua dari jam 3 nyampe waktu sholatpun hampir kelewat. Hari ini nyampe tulisan ini diketikkan gue gak berhenti ngucap alhamdulillah. Gue bahkan sempet nangis (dikit) tadi karena gak nyangka akhirnya ketemu atasan sama partner kerja yang baik, industri make up, BAHKAN dikasih kesempatan buat nyalurin apa yang gue suka dan bisa.

😭😭😭

Kek,

I always think am I still in a dream?

Is it really spring That came after the long winter?

BMG is taking direct control of its streaming business in a move the company describes as the biggest change to its recorded music strategy since launch 15 years ago. 

BMG and its current distributor, Warner Music Group’s ADA, have agreed to part ways, enabling both companies to focus on growing their businesses and margins.

It will see a phased in-sourcing of distribution to all major streaming platforms, beginning at the end of this year with Spotify and Apple Music. BMG will continue to outsource physical distribution in a new deal expected to be announced shortly.

BMG CEO Thomas Coesfeld said: “This is a new chapter for BMG and marks a significant milestone for the music industry more generally as BMG becomes the first new global-scale full-service music company to emerge in the past two decades which controls its key routes to market. Taking direct control of our relationships with streaming services is a major leap forward in our mission to offer artists the most effective and efficient service. The new set-up will enable us to better market, service and advise our great artists and will further improve BMG’s relationship with key digital and physical partners.”

Kepengen

Ada satu kebiasaan yang ingin aku hentikan dalam hidup, yaitu kepengen sesuatu karena ikut-ikutan orang lain. Aku SERING banget nonton video unboxing, review dan sejenisnya di youtube yang berujung pada kepikiran dan kepengen beli (I am a total, loyal customer that every marketer dreams of). Tapi yang paling ganggu adalah melihat hidup orang lain dari luar dan kepengen tukeran jalan hidup.

Ngeliat orang berkeluarga jadi ibu rumah tangga, pengen. Ngeliat kolega publish paper, pengen.  Ngeliat orang berkarir di luar akademia jadi data saintis, pengen.

Udahlahh hati ini terlalu banyak keinginan. Wkwk. Harus diingat-ingat apa yang kamu butuhkan dalam hidup dan yang relevan dengan diri sendiri tuh apa. Iya emang hebat kalo orang bisa banting setir berkarir di industri dengan impact yang lebih gede (kayaknya), tapi emang kamu beneran mau? Bagus kalo bisa produktif publish paper, tapi emang harus banget? Apa kepentingannya? Tas yang edisi baru juga lucu, tapi kenapa harus punya?

Nih pertanyaan-pertanyaan harus sering ditanamkan di kepala biar lebih mindful kalo kepengen macem-macem.

On working: why finance (might be) the one for me

Di periode ketidakjelasan nasibku ketika aku bilang mau pindah dari Marketing sampai sebelum akhirnya aku tahu aku akan dipindah kemana (waktu itu tes lagi, terus ngobrol dulu sama beberapa pihak hiks), aku sempet ngobrol bentar sama pak CEO. Beliau nanyain hal yang sama kaya eks superior-ku: Apa yang aku suka?

Kali ini aku bilang data, dan angka. Zuzur aku sih request pengen dibalikin lagi ke posisi pertama yang sungguh terasa seperti sebuah dream comes true (dengan framework yang miriippp banget sama apa yang aku pelajari pas S2), tapi terus kata si Bapak: “Oh ya kalo gitu di Finance aja.”

Memang mulutmu harimaumu. Sebuah tips untuk bener-bener berpikir panjang sebelum menjawab, haha, dan keep in mind bahwa tiap orang bisa punya cara pikir yang beda untuk memproses informasi. Akhirnya aku di-put di tempat multifungsi yang namanya adalah family office. Sebagai sebuah family business, para owner perusahaan ini memang punya kebutuhan yang agak beda dengan korporat konvensional lainnya. Family office itu adalah bagian yang tugasnya adalah mengurus semua kebutuhan family - aku di bagian investmentnya. 

Posisiku juga nggak tau apaan sih sebenernya haha, tapi kadang aku ngaku-ngaku aja jadi investment analyst (yang adalah salah satu pekerjaan daily-ku). Karena bosku ini eks investment banking dan sekuritas, aku jadi belajar banyak sih tentang industri keuangan yang satu ini haha. Menarik banget. Pas awal-awal disuruh baca analyst report dari investment banks macam UBS, Credit Suisse, Mansek, dsb. Pas baca dokumen-dokumen itu.. langsung mikir: man I was missing out on so many things. Why did not I know about this kind of job???

Analyst report itu isinya adalah semua hal yang aku suka. Ada bahas bisnisnya, bahas kondisi makroekonomi, ada bahas overall industry trend, ada analisis keuangan yang angka banget, ada perbandingan antara satu perusahaan dan perusahaan lain. Hal-hal subyektif berpadu dengan obyektivitas data dan angka. Aduh menarik banget deh pokoknya. Haha. Terus bener-bener baru paham deh bahwa finance itu pentingggggg banget. Ya gimana the essence of business kan money ya, ya tentu saja finance itu penting (sebagai warga saintek memang sebelum ini agak memandang sebelah mata pada rumpun humaniora). 

Salah satu kerjaan regulerku yang lain adalah bikin competitor analysis. Bacain lapkeu perusahaan-perusahaan FMCG dan bikin analisis, juga membandingkan kondisi mereka. Mana yang membaik, mana yang memburuk, ada berita apa aja, ada aktivitas apa aja. Sebenernya pas kuliah, baik di S1 dan S2, aku udah pernah dapet sedikit finance, akuntansi, dan ekonomi sih (vivat Teknik Industri), tapi saat itu aku gak paham apa yang menarik dari subyek ini. Tapi sekarang, di tempat yang tepat (haha) dan karena udah sempet juga dapet beberapa sesi dari orang finance di internal kantor, jadi paham banget bahwa angka ini tuh gak cuma sekedar angka.

Angka yang ada di lapkeu itu menceritakan sesuatu. Memang sangat implisit. But it is actually very exciting to be able to dive into the numbers and find out what is actually going on within the company. Paling awal sih berangkat dari net revenue ya - apakah quarter ini naik atau turun? Gali lagi, kenapa naik atau turun? Apakah karena harga jualnya naik? Apakah kuantitas penjualannya naik? Apakah abis ekspansi keluar? Apakah abis rilis produk baru? Apakah abis masuk channel baru? Cocok banget dengan jiwa detektif yang kumiliki.

Terus kerjaan yang satu lagi adalah... jadi finance business partner. Sebenernya ini harusnya posisi sementara karena (like I said) perusahaan ini kekurangan orang hiks. Ada lumayan banyak sih komponen pekerjaannya, tapi yang agak daily itu adalah ngitungin margin dari produk baru yang akan dirilis oleh perusahaan. Ini juga banyak interaksi sama orang sih, tapi aku perannya hanya sebagai penerima dan pengolah data. Jadi jelas gitu loh input proses dan outputnya. Terus jelas juga gitu loh, harus ngapain setelah dihitung.

Sebagai Finance BP, peranku adalah support decision making. Misalkan ada produk yang marginnya masih merah (kurang bagus). Ada beberapa opsi: bisa cari bahan baku yang lebih rendah, nurunin marketing cost, cari supplier packaging baru, atau ngasih usulan HET yang baru. Atau kalau ada beberapa pilihan investasi mesin, biasanya aku itungin profit and loss untuk semua opsi, menyampaikan cost and benefit, dan merekomendasikan opsi yang sekiranya memberikan financial output yang lebih baik untuk perusahaan. 

Jadi jelas aja gitu huhu. Kalau dibandingkan sama posisi sebelumnya di brand development, posisi baruku ini jelas menceklis beberapa poin utama yang kucari dari sebuah pekerjaan (and even the boxes I did not know I have). 

(1) Yang kerja bener-bener, truly, hanya aku. Orang ngasih input, all process ada di aku, dan aku mengeluarkan output. Keluarannya pun absolut, nggak bisa dinego: yaudah emang begini. I have full control of this job (except maybe about the load). 

(2) The data analysis. Sekarang udah makin paham kalau baca laporan keuangan, what to look for dan juga gimana cara pindah dari satu bagian ke bagian lain, dan juga bisa menerjemahkan si angka itu menjadi sebuah cerita tentang bisnis. 

(3) The technicality. Asli aku seneng banget karena sekarang aku sudah lebih lihai menggunakan excel shortcut (guess what Alt+W+F+F is for). Terus ya kemarin-kemarin sempet ambil Udemy Python for Finance (walau belum kulanjutin lagi :<) dan juga nyoba-nyoba bikin stock analysis dengan data yang ngambil dari Yahoo Finance. Haha. I also think I’m getting better at financial modelling!

Aduh menarik deh pokoknya. Again, this job might not be for everyone but I think this might be it for me :-)

I am happy.

A2IM IndieWeek 2023: Connecting Independent Artists and Industry Professionals

A platform for independent artists and industry professionals to come together

The American Association of Independent Music (A2IM) recently hosted IndieWeek 2023, a three-day networking conference held in Manhattan. Recognized as one of the largest gatherings of independent artists in the world, IndieWeek brought together distributors, labels, DSPs, investors, and other key players in the music industry. This article provides an overview of the event, highlighting panel discussions, artist performances, and key industry insights.

The successful marketing tactic highlighted the power of connecting with a hometown audience.

Rich Goldman from Riptide Music Group shed light on the potential of sync opportunities and their impact on artist exposure. He shared a remarkable success story of an artist who reached close to 100 million streams after their song found its way to YouTube. The song's presence across multiple channels fueled a significant increase in streaming activity, propelling the song's popularity.

In addition to these informative discussions, Eden Shiferaw, VP of NVG, LLC, addressed the latest congressional developments surrounding AI and its perceived national security threats. Shiferaw highlighted the concerns expressed by members of Congress regarding the use of AI by American adversaries and emphasized the need for effective regulation.

Artist Performances and Offsite Events

Alongside the panel discussions, IndieWeek 2023 featured captivating performances by artists and songwriters. These performances served as a testament to the immense talent within the independent music community. 

Outside of the main event venue, several offsite events added to the overall experience of IndieWeek. dot HipHop hosted a lively rooftop party, offering attendees a chance to unwind and connect in a more relaxed setting. Additionally, multiple investor conferences provided opportunities for industry professionals to explore potential collaborations and investment opportunities.

Two prominent events were also held to honor the achievements of songwriters. The induction ceremony of the 2023 class of the Songwriters Hall of Fame took place at the Marriott Marquis, celebrating the exceptional contributions of artists such as Glen Ballard, Calvin Broadus (Snoop Dogg), Gloria Estefan, Jeff Lynne, Teddy Riley, and Liz Rose. During the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA) annual meeting at Alice Tully Hall, Liz Rose received a special surprise when Alana Springsteen performed a live rendition of their Grammy-nominated collaboration, "All Too Well."

A2IM IndieWeek 2023 provided a platform for independent artists and industry professionals to come together, share insights, and foster valuable connections. The event showcased the dynamic nature of the independent music community and explored the advancements in technology that continue to shape the industry. With memorable performances, thought-provoking panel discussions, and a vibrant atmosphere, IndieWeek 2023 undoubtedly left a lasting impact on attendees. As the music industry continues to evolve, events like IndieWeek serve as important hubs for collaboration, innovation, and growth.
