Private schools and the Charities Commission
Yes, yes, I know, educating children without charging the State for doing so: that should be enough to ensure charitable status for a school. However, of course, our Lords and Masters don\'t think that way, this we know.
So schools are now being brow beaten, through the threat of losing their charitable status (and no, they can\'t just give it up, they would have to liquidate to do so), into offering more bursaries. However, that\'s not the scary bit:
A spokesman for the Charity Commission said: \"It is not correct to state that the Charity Commission\'s initial public benefit assessments focused only on the provision of means-tested bursaries. We have been very clear throughout this process and in the reports published today that, although fee reductions are an obvious way of making the services of a fee-charging charity more widely accessible, this is not the only means of achieving this.
\"When conducting these assessments, all the activity that the charities engage in which is related to their aims and meets the principles of public benefit was taken into consideration; this includes partnerships with local communities and state schools. We have not taken, and will not take, a 'one size fits all' approach to public benefit. Every charitable independent school is different and there is no benchmark for the minimum or maximum amount for bursaries. Equally, there is no formula for calculating the number of bursaries any one school should provide.\"
Those last three sentences.
\"We won\'t tell you what you need to do to keep charitable status. We\'ll just sit here smug in our offices and keep prodding you, without revealing the rules. We\'re the bureaucrats and you\'ll dance to our tune, even when we won\'t tell you what the beat is or what key it is in.\"
Nothing like having the rule of law, is there? And this is nothing like having the rule of law.

I think private schools should throw out the children of Labour party members.

Well it is far from clear to me why an organisation which exists specifically to cement class advantage and monopolise opportunity should have any charitable status at all so we shall not shed to many tears for all the poor little Etonians . Have you not observed how conspicuously they are suffering as social mobility halts and they occupy the Nation like so many gaping beaked cuckoos ? Quite .
It is not good argument for a low tax and free society that access to high earnings is fixed in childhood as it increasingly is . One response is to bring back Grammar schools and in all but name that's where we are going and this will accelerate when the Conservatives take power. Academies wholeheartedly independent ( not under Labour's boot ) , free schools and rigorous streaming are all getting on the way but bursaries from Private schools is an excellent part of the scene handled correctly and not punitively I would like to see the return of direct grants to complement the school places as ion the old days .
You may be right that there is some bureaucratic muddle here but your knee jerk defence of the privileged is simply inviting the red hoard to sweep down from their mountain homes and rain devastation on the land .
Irresponsible Worstall , take 200 lines

I can't for the life of me ever comprehend why school businesses are charities. But then I can't figure out why most of the things we call charities are called charities.
These schools, best of luck to them, are businesses selling a service. Frankly, if they want a benefit from the government (tax freeness) they're asking for all they get. They're not doing anything charitable. They're in business for crying out loud. Why the feck don't they tell the government to piss off, and pay taxes like every other business has to?
I daresay that somebody will say their customers are having to pay for education twice or something like that, but it's a silly argument. We're all paying through the nose for everything the government does. Single people are forced to pay for the schooling of other peoples' children. It's just what living under a statist system is like.
Really, come on. These are businesses selling a luxury product to the luxury market. Charities? My arse.

Wonderful demolition of Charity Commission arguments in The Times this morning here using example of kitchen tables :

If fees have to rise anyway why not bite the bullet and incorporate, charge VAT and be out from under the Government's jackboot?
Tim adds: Note the "you have to liquidate" part.
john b July 14, 2009 at 11:25 am
It's not a wonderful demolition, for precisely the reason Ian gives – table makers don't get tax benefits on the basis that table making is useful (despite the fact that it obviously is), whereas private schools do.
If table makers wanted to get tax breaks compared to chair makers, then they'd also need to jump through ridiculous hoops to justify them…
Kay Tie July 14, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I am sure it's possible to liquidate and incorporate – they should talk to the GMG's lawyers about how to do that offshore.
Falco July 14, 2009 at 2:34 pm
JB – If we had to pay for tables through taxes, (enough that everyone is entitled to one government standard table), but some people don't take up the government option but pay, on top of their tax contribution, to buy a table elsewhere, then a private table selling company would be satisfying a public good and have a reasonable argument for charitable status. The only thing the charity commission should be ensuring is that the company is selling tables.
An alternative plan would be to remove charitable status from all schools but to give a tax rebate to the equivalent cost, (NB not value), of a state education, (or a voucher if you prefer).
Newmania: "Well it is far from clear to me why an organisation which exists specifically to cement class advantage and monopolise opportunity should have any charitable status at all"
Missing the point with spectacular abandon there. These organisations exist specifically to provide education. Your objection is like complaining that a charity to help children from sink estates exists exclusively to help irritating lefty tossers spout bollocks in the media.
Mr Potarto July 14, 2009 at 2:48 pm
"monopolise opportunity"
An amazing phrase.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man would have it poked out for monopolising vision.
Ian Bennett July 14, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Kay Tie's comment in the Times piece ("pay for all children to go to private schools and to shut down the LEA etc") is pretty much what happened in New Zealand; in that case, however, the schools were still state-owned, but run by a board elected by parents of its pupils. 4,500 schools changed to this system on the same day.
Monty July 14, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Ian, thanks for the link. I really wish something like that would happen over here.
In fact, the charitable aspect of private education is primarily paid out by the parents who pay the fees. Because they have paid twice over for the education of each child. The state benefits from their non-takeup of a school place, and reimburses nothing.
The state sector has ample information on how many school-age children there are in any area. And it is true that some of those children will not take up their places. Yet we still manage to have thousands of kids travelling many miles each day because there is no local school place for them at all.
No no bloody marks to the state sector yet again.
Martin July 15, 2009 at 7:57 am
My old school now charges 9K a year.
Some charity.

Our Impact: A Snapshot
White Oak hosted its first group of kids in the summer of 2013. A few local schools quickly followed who were willing to explore student involvement during the fall and spring. Before long, summer camps had a wait-list, and field experiences with partner schools were filling up the calendar.
In 2017, White Oak doubled the camp capacity to meet demand, while school groups had become one the most numerous demographics that came to White Oak.
Today, the Education Continuum sees students progressing through their academic and personal lives with an increased understanding of conservation's role in the 21st century. Through field experiences, school partnerships, summer camps, internships, and professional trainings, White Oak continues to be a resource for helping future generations become leaders.
Keeta Moore first met White Oak in the summer of 2013. Keeta was one of a handful of kids who became the first summer campers at White Oak. Though it was a trial run for the team at White Oak, it proved vastly influential for Keeta.
Six years later she made her way back to White Oak in pursuit of her career interests Keeta had secured a coveted internship in the wildlife department to assist with the conservation management of imperiled species. Now as a college student focusing on fish and wildlife biology, she hopes to turn her knowledge, experience, and passion for wildlife conservation into full time work.

Madeleine McCann Case Creates Legal Issues
July 8, 2013, 2:44 am 1.6k Views
The ongoing search for missing British girl Madeleine McCann has created friction between British and Portugese authorities following the announcement from British police that they want to actively investigate the case of Madeleine's disappearance in May 2007.
The British police say they have identified 38 suspects in EUrope, but Portugese Attorney General Joana Marques Vidal says no request from the British police has been received in respected of any International letter of Request and accordingly they have no right to undertake any investigations in Portugal.
The Telegraph:
Scotland Yard launched a review of the case, funded by the Home Office in 2011, after the inquiry into Madeline's disappearance was shelved in 2008 and Portugese authorities refused to reopen it, saying there was no new evidence.
Portugal's detective unit, the Policia Judiciaria, said its officers would assist the British inquiry, but added they would effectively work to rule – only carrying out their duties to the letter of the law.
Pedro do Carmo, deputy national director of the unit, told the Daily Mail: "We are available to co-operate with the British authorities but only under terms of Portuguese law and within the time period allowed under Portuguese law.
Inspector Andy Redwood, who is leading the inquiry, said he believes there is a possibility that Madeline is still alive.
Prime Minister David Cameron has welcomed the Scotland Yard inquiry, and said: "It is welcome because they say that there is new evidence, new leads to follow, new things to be done.
Inspector Redwood has promised the Scotland Yard inquiry would have "teeth" and his promises have been backed by the Prime Minister David Cameron who welcomed the review of the Madeleine McCann file.
"It is welcome because they say that there is new evidence, new leads to follow, new things to be done," said the Prime Minister.
"It was a case that did shock and still shocks the nation and if an answer can be found we should try and find it."
The Scotlant Yard review of the case, which has been code-named Operation Grange, was launched two years ago after Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, appealed to PM Mr Cameron for help.
While detectives would not be drawn yesterday on any potential timetable for possible arrests, it is believed action could be taken before the end of the summer.

Not seeing eye to eye with someone? Need to find a solution without going to the courts? Dr. Stan Leasure, business law professor at Missouri State University, says alternative dispute methods might be your best bet.
"If you're going to build me a house, we might realize that house-building is something that involves a lot of money and it's complicated," Leasure said. "You and I might agree before you ever start the house that if we do find ourselves in some sort of a dispute, we're going to go to arbitration."
Why you should consider arbitration
How arbitration works
The decision to use arbitration can be made later as long as both parties agree.
"The arbitrator makes the decision of who wins, who loses, makes a decision as to what the remedies are going to be. And this arbitration system is binding," he said.
Arbitration may be conducted by a panel including experts, he added.
"The arbitration is much simpler, much quicker, much cleaner, much cheaper, and it is possible for two businesses with a dispute to preserve their relationship in an arbitration setting," Leasure said.

Next COVID-19 relief bill: Bipartisan support for 2nd stimulus check, but disagreements on unemployment aid, school funding, more
Republicans are expected to unveil their $1 trillion counteroffer to the House bill
Trump faces scrutiny as pandemic worsens
Two months after House Democrats approved a $3 trillion COVID-19 aid package, Senate Republicans are poised to unveil their $1 trillion counteroffer this week.
It would be the fifth coronavirus relief bill since the spring, when Congress dispensed and President Donald Trump approved nearly $3 trillion in emergency aid.
Now, with the pandemic worsening and the current round of aid running out, lawmakers need to pull the country back from the looming COVID-19 cliff before it's too late.
Here's a look at those relief bill proposals -- which includes second stimulus checks, business loans and school spending -- as well as what could happen if Washington doesn't act quickly.
McConnell's $1T proposal
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke about the next stimulus package during a visit to Kentucky.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to roll out the GOP bill soon, but key GOP senators are wary about its $1 trillion price tag.
McConnell hit "pause" on the passage of the last aid package in May as Republicans hoped the economy would rebound. Now, he acknowledges that additional intervention is needed.
"Regretfully, this is not over," McConnell said during a visit to a hospital in Kentucky.
Here are some highlights from what's expected in McConnell's proposal, though Republicans are divided. As dissenting Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky put it: Supporters of the package "should be ashamed of themselves."
Second stimulus check
McConnell's plan would include new round of stimulus checks earners below a certain income level, similar to the $1,200 direct payments sent in the spring. It also will likely have some version of Trump's demand for payroll tax holiday for workers, which many Republicans oppose.
Republicans want to reduce the $600 weekly unemployment boost that expires at the end Friday to a few hundred dollars a month. Additionally, they are eyeing a return-to-work stipend for workers to get back on the job.
Liability shield
It's a five-year shield for employers that negligently expose customers and workers to the coronavirus, limiting their legal exposure, according to the draft of the plan obtained by The Associated Press. This would protect "schools, colleges, charities, and businesses that follow public-health guidelines, and for frontline medical workers." Supporters say the proposal protects businesses and other employers who adhere to public-health guidelines in good faith. Opponents say it will permit wrongdoing to go unpunished.
Republicans want to include at least $105 billion for education, with $70 billion to help K-12 schools reopen, $30 billion for colleges and $5 billion for governors to allocate. The Trump administration wanted school money linked to reopenings, but in McConnell's package the money for K-12 would be split 50-50 between those that have in-person learning and those that don't.
There is likely to be tax credits to help companies shoulder the cost of safely reopening shops, offices and other businesses. To keep costs down, Republicans are considering redirecting some already approved funds from the popular Paycheck Protection Program of small business loans for a revamped business loan program.
States and local governments
Republicans say $150 billion allotted previously to state governments is sufficient to avert sweeping layoffs and they said more housing protections are not needed to stem what advocates warn will be an eviction crisis.
Republicans have remained largely silent on how much testing money would be made available in the new bill. McConnell said Wednesday the government is "pursuing testing, treatment and vaccines like the country pursued the Manhattan Project in World War II."
Pelosi's $3T bill
The House of Representatives has passed the HEROES Act, a $3 trillion-plus coronavirus relief bill, but the legislation faces an uncertain future in the Senate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's bill, or the so-called HEROES Act, was approved in May and includes money for COVID-19 testing, reopening schools and assisting cash-strapped states.
The measure would give cash stipends to Americans, and bolster rental and mortgage and other safety net protections.
Here are some of its highlights:
The Democrats' plan would also give another round of $1,200 direct payments to Americans.
Extra $600 for unemployment
The House bill extends a $600 per week federal unemployment benefits supplemental payment through January 2021 instead of cutting it off at the end of July.
The bill gives $100 billion to states, school districts and universities to defray additional costs associated with the pandemic.
The plan subsidies for laid-off workers to remain on their employer-provided health insurance plans through so-called COBRA benefits and creates an open enrollment period to sign up for "Obamacare" policies on state and federal health insurance exchanges.
The bill allots $175 billion to states to help renters and homeowners pay mortgages, rent, and other housing costs and avoid default, with much of the money aimed at lower-income people.
The bill provides more than $900 billion to states ($500 billion), local governments ($375 billion), as well as Indian tribes and territorial governments ($40 billion) to help prevent layoffs of public workers, cuts to services or tax hikes.
An additional $75 billion would be allocated for testing for the coronavirus, performing contact tracing to track its spread and treating for COVID-19. This also adds another $100 billion for hospitals and other health care providers.
"Time is running out"
Just as the pandemic's ferocious cycle is starting again, the first round of aid is running out.
Deadlines loom as the extra $600 weekly benefits provided to tens of millions of unemployed workers are set to expire July 31. So, too, does the federal ban on evictions on millions of rental units.
With 17 straight weeks of unemployment claims topping 1 million -- usually, it's about 200,000 -- many households are facing a cash crunch and losing employer-backed health insurance coverage.
"Time is running out," Pelosi said.
Former Federal Reserve leaders are urging Congress to do more to help the economy deal with the devastating pandemic, such as extending increased unemployment benefits and providing assistance to hard-hit states and local governments, something many Republicans oppose.
And Bank of America executives are already predicting the economic recession to last "deep into 2022."
Today, the death toll stands at more than 139,000 in the U.S., with 3.6 million-plus confirmed cases.

Strength of Dragons
September 3, 2018 /Comments closed
Christian Dupont reflects on the personal and political desires conveyed in two cartoons by Grace Gifford Plunkett
1 GRACE GIFFORD PLUNKETT (1866-1953) watercolour drawing in anonymous album of female prisoner autographs, 1915-23 21.5×17.5cm Provenance: Loretta Clarke Murray, 2016
William Orpen posed his promising student Grace Gifford as a model for his Young Ireland series and the biblical Ruth, but more typically, she has been memorialized as the tragic bride of Joseph Mary Plunkett, whom she married hours before his execution in Kilmainham Gaol for his role in the Easter Rising. She was, or rather became, an activist and artist in her own right, combining both propensities in her clever and widely circulated cartoons. Hilary Pyle paid her fitting tribute in the Irish Arts Review Summer 2014 edition. Recent rediscoveries and acquisitions by Boston College's Burns Library provide additional sources for appreciating Gifford's canny character and caricatures.
During the 50th anniversary of the Rising, the Belfast News Letter published a photo and story of a letter that the journalist estimated was Gifford's last surviving message to her fiancé, written two days before the GPO takeover.
'I'd simply love to be with you – but it's going to be impossible', she concluded, adding a sketch of a ravenous dragon to the bottom of her note. As simple and animated as Picasso's line drawings of doves, the doodle recalls a poem Plunkett wrote to her two weeks prior: 'The joy of Spring leaps from your eyes / The strength of dragons in your hair'.
Heirs donated most of the Plunketts' correspondence to the National Library, but through an odd series of events, this letter wound up in the hands of a bystander during the Easter Week tumult and had remained in private possession since.
The joy of Spring leaps from your eyes
The strength of dragons in your hair
2 GRACE GIFFORD PLUNKETT detail of letter to Joseph Mary Plunkett, 22 April 1916 20×15.6cm Provenance: De Búrca Rare Books, 2017
Following an appointment to the Sinn Féin executive in October 1917, Gifford increasingly applied her skills as an illustrator for newspapers and journals to creating propaganda for nationalist, labor, and suffrage causes. An Anti-Treaty protestor during the Civil War, she was arrested and imprisoned in Kilmainham Gaol along with some 400 other women. On the walls of her cell, she painted an image of the Madonna and Child, later celebrated and restored in the 1960s by future RHA president Thomas Ryan.
A recently acquired album containing autographs, verse, and drawings by approximately 120 women prisoners includes a watercolour cartoon created by Gifford in June 1923, following her transfer from Kilmainham to the North Dublin Union. A woman with a flowing mulberry gown and golden crown emblazoned 'Eire' encircling her amber tresses is seated on a bluff, looking grimly across the Irish Sea as a merchant ship with 'Free State' lettered along its gunwale sails away. A Cumann na mBan volunteer kneels to her right, mirroring her vacant gaze, while a man in dark civilian clothing looks upon them pensively and sympathetically. A caption pleads: 'Let them go mother, we are with you still.' Gifford's Young Ireland hearkened back to Thomas Davis', not Orpen's.
This is the sixth in a series of articles on Burns Library and its collections that attempts to provide context for appreciating the work of Irish artists and their reception in America.

Forkbeard Fantasy at AUB this Easter
Back to Industry News
Published 2nd March 2016
10th March – 20th April 2016
(Easter open week: 30 March – 9 April 2016 – exhibition closed over Easter weekend)
Monday – Thursday: 9am to 5pm
Friday & Saturday: 9am to 4pm
Closed Friday 25th March – Wednesday 30th March
This Easter, TheGallery at AUB will be playing host to a seven-foot tall white rabbit, a teenage Brontosaurus skeleton and a 'life-size' animated unicorn as part of a free hands-on exhibition, designed to delight the whole family.
The weird and wonderful exhibition 'Forkbeard's Fantasy Theatre of Animation' is a collaboration between AUB and ground-breaking British theatre company, Forkbeard Fantasy, celebrating over 40 years of their pioneering multi-media work.
The exhibition allows visitors to get up close and personal with amazing puppets, interact with creative installations, and to enjoy the surreal humour of this exceptional group of artists.
Associate Professor Sean Aita, curator of the exhibition, said: "We hope this new exhibition will attract a younger, family audience to TheGallery. It offers a real taste of the Forkbeard Fantasy studios in Devon, which are a temple to creativity and stuffed to bursting point with costumes, scenery, film equipment and mechanical automata."
Founded in 1974 by brothers, Tim, Simon and Chris Britton, Forkbeard Fantasy is one of the longest surviving and innovative independent theatre companies in Britain. The company is renowned for its pioneering use of interactive film, animation, sets and props, creating performances that regularly break out of the confines of the stage.
The title of the exhibition acknowledges the central role that drawing and animation has had in the formation of Forkbeard Fantasy's productions. The scenarios for their plays are often storyboarded, and short animated films have been used in their live performances since the earliest days of the company.
We recommend that visitors to the campus use the excellent public transport links identified in a downloadable bus map here.

Gaza Violence Part of 'Collective Punishment' for Palestinians - Activist
© REUTERS/ Ahmed Zakot
Violence unfolding in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank is part of the Israeli army's "collective punishment" on Palestinian inhabitants, Samer Makhlouf, a Palestine-based activist, told Sputnik.
Over the weekend, tensions escalated between the two warring parties when Israel reportedly launched a botched raid in Gaza that ultimately killed seven Palestinians and a Hamas commander, according to the BBC. Palestinians later retaliated by launching "dozens of rockets" at Israeli-controlled areas, footage released by the IDF shows.
Hours later, both sides agreed to an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire. "Egypt's effort led to the cessation of fire between the resistance factions and the Zionist enemy," a joint statement released by Hamas-led groups reads. "The Palestinian movements will adhere to it, provided that the enemy does the same."
https://www.spreaker.com/user/radiosputnik/hamas-retaliates-after-failed-israeli-op
Makhlouf spoke with Radio Sputnik's By Any Means Necessary on Tuesday to discuss the latest ceasefire agreement and the disproportionality of the violence that's been taking place in the region.
"Hopefully this [ceasefire] will be a deescalation for the Gaza situation, and hopefully we will not see anymore damages or losses in lives, because the past two nights were really difficult — especially difficult on the inhabitants of Gaza," Makhlouf told host Eugene Puryear, noting the violence that Palestinians have endured is part of a "collective punishment."

Israel's New Death Penalty Targets Palestinians, But May Not Be Used - Ex-Gen.
"When you put 2.5 million Palestinians in the biggest prison on Earth, that's collective punishment," he said. "Anything that happens in Gaza or around the Gazan border, Israel punishes all the Gazan inhabitants… and they fire left and right without considering any rules of engagement; they don't consider any international laws or respect for international rules… when they fire against Gaza."
Regarding military tactics the Israeli army has used to target Palestinians, Makhlouf told Puryear that the disproportionality in violence between the parties is shocking when one considers the sophisticated military equipment that Israeli forces are using. "You can't even imagine it," he stressed.
Though few details have been offered regarding the US' yet-to-be unveiled Palestinian-Israeli peace deal, some reports have indicated that it may contain a clause marking Jerusalem as a joint capital to be shared between Israel and Palestine.
"Trump wants a deal, and he's very serious," a senior Israeli official told the Yedioth Ahronoth daily paper. "To the Americans, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is relatively easy to solve."
The Times of Israel reported that the US' deal will be based off a give and take strategy, forcing participants to offer a concession that the other side agrees to, or face a penalty. However, such a deal may be put off until after 2019 Knesset elections.

For Makhlouf, though, the deal is unlikely to have a strong impact.
"I don't think this will have any chance to get off the ground or be successful… [Those working on the US deal] are just making more complications for this conflict and [pushing] peace further away," he concluded.

VOTF: fair and balanced
Those energetic souls at Voice of the Faithful, who eschew all ideological ties, seeking only what it good for the Church, have some new events on their calendar. True to form, the VOTF events will feature speakers whose views cover a broad range of Catholic belief, stretching from the far left to the very far left.
Shop: Roman Catholic "RC" Original Classic Pullover Hoodie | Multiple colors and sizes available!
For example, the New Jersey chapter will hear the Jesuit theologian, Father Roger Haight, speak on "The Uniqueness of Jesus." The Vatican, you may recall, recently issued a warning about the conflict between settled Catholic doctrine and Father Haight's views on the subject of-- you guessed it, the uniqueness of Jesus.
The Long Island chapter of VOTF will be hosting Father Tom Reese, who was removed from his post as editor of the Jesuit weekly America at the request of the Vatican because of his persistent criticism of Church teaching, and has subsequently become a reliable source of quotes for secular reporters looking for a liberal Catholic opinion.
But Father Reese won't be alone. The lucky VOTF members at the Long Island conference will also hear from Sister Joan Chittister, the grande dame of the American Catholic left, regular columnist for the National Catholic Reporter, winner of the Hans Kung award, and reliable advocate for every leftist cause.
Now just remember:
Voice of the Faithful does not have a hidden "liberal" or "conservative" agenda for Church reform. This would be impossible, since our members hold a diverse representation of views.
Diverse indeed.

UFF20'S THEME HEROES CELEBRATES THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES OF INDONESIA'S CULINARY CULTURES
Image Credit_ Wayan Martino. Press Call. Amandari
From 17–19 April 2020, Ubud Food Festival Presented by ABC (UFF) will celebrate the unsung heroes of Indonesia's culinary cultures, who work tirelessly to put the best food on our plates. With the theme Heroes, the nation's leading food event will champion mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers who provide food rich in history and taste to their loved ones.
Spotlighting the archipelago's culinary culture has been at the heart of every UFF. Each year, the Festival welcomes audiences and chefs from near and far to learn about Indonesia through its cuisine. In 2020, UFF will introduce the heroes of our home who play a significant role in nourishing Indonesia's gastronomic world.
For its sixth year, the Festival will explore how the diversity of the world's fourth most populous nation plays a vital role in its culinary delights. Through special events and cooking demos, food tours and talks, workshops and masterclasses, music and performance, films and markets, the three-day cross-cultural culinary adventure will introduce audiences to flavors far beyond rendang, sate, gado gado, and nasi goreng.
"Since our inaugural event, the Festival has introduced Indonesia's complex and diverse cuisines to food lovers across the globe," said UFF Founder and Director Janet DeNeefe. "For our sixth year, we want to recognize and celebrate the people behind the extraordinary flavors and evolving stories of Indonesia's culinary landscape.
"With the theme Heroes, we want you to meet the unsung heroes of Indonesian food, the mothers and fathers who cook their age-old family recipes at home. We want to honor their immense contribution to creating the rich flavors we all love," DeNeefe continued.
Along with the theme, UFF also unveiled the 2020 artwork created by Indonesian artist, Marishka Soekarna. An acclaimed mural artist, she is known for her playful, whimsical approach to intimate and social issues. Her artworks have been exhibited at Gudang Sarinah Jakarta, National Gallery of Indonesia, and Yeosu International Art Festival, South Korea.
The Festival is thankful to welcome back one of Indonesia's leading food brands, ABC, for a third year, as Presenting Partner. Dhiren Amin, Director of Marketing and R&D, Kraft-Heinz Southeast Asia, commented, "We are extremely delighted to be UFF's Presenting Partner for a third year. ABC not only shares the Festival's passion for celebrating Indonesia's culinary scene, we also appreciate the essential role of the people closest to us in creating the diverse flavors and sensations that we enjoy.
"The theme Heroes is very much aligned with ABC's programs and commitment to highlighting Indonesia's captivating culinary world and the people behind it. After two successful years of partnership, we are ready to have an even bigger and better festival for our third year," concluded Amin.
"We are excited to have ABC join us again for the third year and we extend our sincere thanks to everyone at ABC for their continued support," commented DeNeefe. "We are looking forward to celebrating our culinary heroes with food lovers from across the archipelago and beyond. We hope you're ready to taste flavors and textures that will leave you in a state of delighted wonderment."
The three-day program from 17-19 April 2020, spans a range of ticketed and
free events, from cooking demonstrations, special events, workshops and
food tours, to markets, film screenings, live music, and in-depth panel
discussions.
Special events will take place at various locations around Ubud.
A not-for-profit initiative, Ubud Food Festival is underpinned by a mission to
support Indonesia's vibrant and sustainable culinary and tourism industries.
The first round of speakers will be announced in mid-February.
The program and full line-up will be released and tickets will go on sale in late
February.

Our Man in Babylon
The afternoon sky over Baghdad browned ominously as the sandstorm swirled in from the surrounding desert. Suddenly, the dirt was flying everywhere, filling the mouth with grit, a choking blast of hot, stifling air that would not abate until near midnight. Some taxi drivers cursed, fearing the worst for their already damaged vehicles, while others were enthused. "God is Great!" rejoiced the ferret-faced, bearded driver who carried me home from a cross-town meeting.
Indeed, the storm was a portent of weather to come as the desert heats up to 100-plus degrees. Here the spring and summer sandstorms blow like the Russian snow that snatched victory from Napoleon and the Nazis. The heat here, they say, will fry the brains of the invading army. Because the brains of the U.S. barbarians are now embodied by killer computers, their machines of war will slow and discalibrate, and the 3,000 missiles Bush brags he will drill down upon us in an unprecedented 48-hour blitzkrieg are not guaranteed to kiss their targets with any precision. Well, that's what they say.
Everywhere I travel, the war is in the air. In Mosul, 200 miles to the north where the desert climbs into the cold mountain rain, a bloodbath seems inevitable as U.S. proxy Kurds and Turkish troops (if their Parliament ever gives them the green light and allows them to participate) will go at it with the Iraqi army, trapping the civilian population in a deadly squeeze. At least that's the case if the experience of 1991 is any teacher.
A delegation of Human Shields who have come to Iraq to interpose their bodies between the Bush bombs and the people of this unlucky land visit the edge of town and pause before one of this ancient city's 15 crumbling gates, each embossed with the emblem of the eagle king Asyripanipani, who protected Mosul from other barbarian hordes long centuries ago, much as the Human Shields dream of doing now, although such a defense we know in our open secret hearts is a mere symbol, a kind of metaphor before the coming slaughter.
Mosul still bears the unmistakable scars of 1991. We visit sites blasted by the U.S. "smart" bombs a dozen years back–the telephone company smashed to smithereens, a Christian church where the roof literally blew in, killing four worshipers at prayer, we are told by the young house priest. Mosul is the site of some of Christiandom's earliest crusades, a multicultural oasis where 8,000 Orthodox Christian families still reside. We bus down the valley to a fourth-century monastery hewn from the surrounding mountains–the ruins of a church built in 150 AD are said to be nearby, located in spitting distance of Jesus Christ himself, as an erudite fellow Shield observes.
This particular monastery, whose chambers breathe a musty antiquity, was damaged in a firefight between Kurds and Iraqi troops after the U.S. assault, and such engagements are a certainty once the American death machine has done its dirtiest work here.
The sinister Moloch, with its head of a snake and fearsome eagle talons, will greet the invading army when it descends upon Babylon, now a dusty, sparsely attended tract an hour south of Baghdad whose reconstructed walls will surely fall when Bush's missiles zero in on the presidential guest house here in their painstaking search and destroy for Saddam Hussein–erasing his ubiquitous portraiture from public buildings alone may take a thousand times the number of heat-seeking rockets in the Yanqui arsenal.
We stroll through the ruins, a UNESCO world heritage site, with a friendly posse of schoolkids, the only visitors this morning, trailing behind us chanting "Down Down Bush!" practicing their rudimentary English and slapping fives. "How are you?" and "Hi, my name is Muhammad!" are particular favorites.
The Shields have come to Babylon hoping to set up shop here, but the Iraqi authorities build roadblocks. The Minders want us to install at what they consider to be priority infrastructure sites–refineries, power plants, water treatment facilities that are sure to be bombed–but not hospitals, schools, or the ancient ruins that define this place. We send our volunteers into the facilities that the government insists we man and woman in pursuit of a quid pro quo that would hopefully grant us access to the humanitarian sites we have come here to protect. But there is no real dialogue with the authorities, and the push and pull of where the Shields now in Baghdad will be deployed seems destined for a dark end. Spanish and Turkish comrades have already threatened to return to their home countries unless they are allowed to pitch their tents in front of local hospitals, but how easily their exit will be accomplished is still anyone's guess. No, we are not yet unwelcome guests, but the writing is indeed on the wall, and the choices narrow as the war draws near.
But settling in at the Daura Oil Refinery and the Seventh of April Water Treatment Facility is only half the business we are about. The international volunteers are resolved to maintain a steady drumbeat of street protest, and almost daily we parade along the boulevards of Baghdad, yelling at both Bush and Blair to get off the Iraqi peoples' backs. On Sunday, February 23, we strung up a 17-meter-long banner on one of the eight bridges that connect the banks of the Tigris River (all were blown up the last time around), strumming guitars and shouting poems to the joyous honking of horns. "Bush–The Whole World Is Watching You!" the banner reads, but whether it can be seen 10,000 miles away in Tampa, Florida, from whence the missiles will be triggered, is not assured.
That same morning, we marched on the United Nations headquarters here, our hands tied together by thick rope, to ask that international tribunals be convened to try us for the war crime of being human shields, as suggested by U.S. "Defense" Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Should we be declared innocent, we demand that Rumsfeld be tried instead for the potential million murders his grotesque weaponry could mow down in the coming days.
The day before, the Turkish comrades had danced through Martyrs' Square, pounding drums and tambourines in an exuberant effort to drown out the dirges of death that Bush and Blair duet. Earlier that morning, we had descended upon the International Press Center, hollering "No More Lies!" into the cubicles of corporate media. Those folks just love this "war" (more likely a massacre) because it means booming ratings and bigger budgets, billions in expanded advertising revenues, and extravagant overtime for the all-star correspondents and their crews. "No More Lies!" we shouted at a CNN flunky who stomped out of her cardboard-walled cave muttering "I ask the questions around here."
But for all our fury, in the still of the soon-to-be-exploding, we know it is all a pantomime. The missiles will whistle in very soon. Many here would just as soon get it over with as quickly as possible because the waiting is killing their souls. "We eat America for breakfast," says Bassam, an ex-army man who invented a way to feed sheep chicken shit (32 percent protein) in the aftermath of the last war, and now works as a driver at the swank Palestine Hotel. "Every morning, we listen to the news. If it is good our day will be good but if it is bad we cannot eat…"
Bassam and I have agreed to celebrate our birthdays together–my 65th is March 11th, when we may still be alive, but his is April 19th, by which date our fate will surely be sealed. Only an impossible miracle–the apparition of the Pope in Baghdad or a transplant of George W. Bush's evil heart–can save us now.
John Ross, who normally sends dispatches from Mexico, traveled to Baghdad last month to be a Human Shield. He implores you to try and save his life by informing the President of the United States and your congressional representative that he is on site at the Daura Oil Refinery in Baghdad. Demand that the White House cancel plans to bomb that facility–and indeed all others in the ancient land of Iraq.


The best dances at Ames High
Zoe Mamakos, Web Staff
Ames High isn't really known for it's 7 state swimming titles or its global rank in academics but rather our legendary school dances. From dance marathon to tucheze, we really have it all. As one of the last overheated homecoming's passes, upperclassmen reflect on which dance was the most memorable in our high school careers.
Tucheze is a big contender as the best Ames High Dance. It's run by SHEPH and has a new theme each year. The dance is held in the cafeteria and costs only 5 dollars at the door. Many people love it's fun aspect of dressing up as the theme for the dance. Another plus side is the air conditioning that homecoming lacks.
It's lowkey lit, don't have to buy a dress or anything it's so chill "
— Junior Emma Grause on Tucheze
I've gathered that many other people have similar feelings towards it. For who could go wrong with a dance that promotes a club helping to end poverty and hunger?
Homecoming, being another favorite, has always been a classic. The beginning of the school year brings the excitement of who's going to ask who and decisions begin on what to wear. I personally love homecoming. Something about the fact that there's a whole week to celebrate a football game with a dance following after, has always made me happy. The one downside, I'd have to say, is the heat at the dance. Being September in Iowa we hardly experience enough desirable weather and homecoming tends to fall on the hottest weekend. However, it's excitement and anticipation makes up for it. Other dances that are held towards the middle and end of the year, help to have something to look forward to.
In the dead of winter, Ames High students yearn for something to distract them from the endless piles of homework. Dance Marathon does just that. As a dance created to support a cause, it spreads messages of love and determination. Every years profit is donated to the University of Iowa's children's hospital. Last year we raised over $18,000! A yearly club designs the shirts and has different committees to make sure the night runs smoothly. A part of Dance Marathon that is especially inspiring is when families that have experienced help from the hospital come and talk. For me, this part shows the impact that our dancing can have on someone else's life. I have participated in Dance Marathon for two years now and will continue to partake in the last few years because of it's important message.
Each dance has its own specialties and quirks. These specific dances have been some of my favorite parts of highschool, so far. If you are someone wondering which dance to go to, I encourage you to experience it all. It's worth it.
