STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE FEBRUARY 03 - FEBRUARY 17, 2016

It’s not such an eventful fortnight this one, astrologically speaking. Mercury returns to the sign of Aquarius and the degree at which it went retrograde in early January and the New Moon is also in the sign of Aquarius. There appears to be a lot less stress this month with the Sun and Moon in a harmonious aspect to Black Moon Lilith on the New Moon. Those shadow aspects, both individually and collectively speaking which emerged during January, are now objectified and integrated into the next phase of the journey. Venus, Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn are all linked to Jupiter and the North Node (destiny point) in Virgo and support each other to bring action and form to healing and everyday life issues. Chiron is moving closer to the South Node in Pisces and amplifies another healing, primarily in the area of our past associations. It could well be that we are now ready to make amends for the hurt and damage inflicted on others. This service axis of Virgo and Pisces brings a deeper sense of caring and so too does the Sun/Moon cycle in Aquarius. We will all be a little more other oriented this month and this theme is supported by a powerfully placed Mars in Scorpio, also harmoniously linked to the wounded healer, Chiron. Transformation, change, evolution and growth continue to push us to mature and to let go of our selfish and destructive habits. Outdated systems and ideas are struggling to keep up with the fast pace of things. NEW MOON 19 Aquarius 16 February 8, 2016 10:40 p.m.

Friends, groups and community figure strongly for you this month and as communication opens up you find that you are inspired to share the deeper aspects of yourself through relationships. You could well begin a new business project through one of these partnerships. Your health and healing is of paramount importance to you at this time and so too is your connection to the Divine. If you have the need for solitude and introspection it could be a good idea to fulfil it, as it will bring you a deeper understanding and certainty of purpose at this very important time in your life. There are many layers and lifetimes being exposed. Venus is conjoined Pluto on this New Moon and with this your primary relationships are an important factor during this month. It’s a good time to talk about future plans and to organize your life and career around the more personal and loving aspects of relationship. Career moves during this month set the stage for the rest of the year. Any conflicts or competition you are experiencing could be a reflection of your own inner disharmony. Many of you are taking this opportunity to heal relationship issues and to find workable solutions to old problems which seem to keep reoccurring. You like to be seen as a helpful and reliable person. There will be a definite shift in energy for you this fortnight as Mercury returns to its retrograde degree in fellow air sign Aquarius. In fact you are extremely supported this month to move those proverbial mountains in your life. Any study or travel plans can be boosted to the next level, as well as any group or community based activities where you are the centre of attention. You may wish to take your personal or romantic relationship through its next evolution as well. This is the time to take action on your health and to also support others through their healing journey, in a professional capacity. As you focus in on your home environment or family, you may find that it is time to release, to forgive and to move on. Your career is calling you out into the World and away from any reclusive situations that have evolved. One-on-one relating is a powerful place to showcase your new talents and to help in the purging process. This next phase shows up a need for mental healing and the ability to navigate through your mind and elevate your thinking to a higher level. Perhaps there is a book to be written or a web page to design on the more mundane level. Take responsibility now for your work projects. This New Moon falls in your relationship sector and so brings all manner of personal and business partnerships to the fore. The purpose is for communication through work and the elevation of thinking. You may have thought that it was time for fun and even though there can be plenty of it, it is also the time for hard work and honest conversations. Your particular blend of healing runs very deep and continues to hone in on early childhood issues, intimacy and sexuality. As you develop on this healing journey, your core values, beliefs and ideas change and as a result you feel more solidly grounded in your own shoes. With this New Moon comes a focus on work and your health. These two may be intrinsically linked and with that an objective approach is required; one where you can discern your own needs and those of the other people in your life. Taking care of yourself also means learning to say no to needs of others when it isn’t your responsibility. Family matters are also strong at this time and wading through the grey areas of relationship a necessity. There is so much on offer to you now in the form of developing partnerships and allowing them to evolve to the next level of intimacy and communication.

There are some powerful experiences around your home or with family members in store this month. As you’ve been trying a different approach to most of your one-on-ones, things are changing for the better, although at times it is still hard to see the wood for the trees. This is the cycle to platform the next version of the new you and to speak more strongly now and voice your own opinions from the deeper and darker aspect of your being. The coming months will see you implement money making ventures and healing your work ethic. An emotional healing is also possible when you take time out for yourself in solitude.

C/Re/G-20 Jan. 16

As you begin to communicate more powerfully, particularly in your work relationships, the benefits ripple out to include the more hidden aspects of the individual. Addressing the shadow directly is something that you are more than capable of doing. Taking risks could see you more financially secure and although this seems like a paradox, risk taking is what is required at this time. Be sure to factor in the ebb and flow rather than the consistent attainment and all will be well. Mars is allowing you the strength of conviction to do it your way and this in turn brings healing to those aspects of yourself which have been denied. As Jupiter joins with the destiny point it brings a sense of purpose to your life and this is not separate from your family concerns or their emotional issues. Your value system continues to be remodelled on the deepest of core levels and this may well bring a new direction to your life and to your very own personality traits and expression. As Saturn moves through your sign for the coming years you feel a strong need to remodel your life and your physical appearance. This month is all about communication and media marketing or technological support. It could also bring meaning and a deeper understanding of family dynamics, particularly with siblings. The hidden facets of your psyche are rising to the surface and have the ability to create epiphanies and sudden aha moments. You will feel the destabilisation of your roots as a good thing rather than a disruption or at least be comfortable with any disruptions that continue to occur. There is a strong desire and need for time alone as you develop a more powerful version of yourself, one which can cope with an expanded version of reality and deeper emotional content within your communications. This Moon cycle helps you distance yourself from your previous belief structure and allow you to be the objective observer of your reality. With the beginning of a new Solar Year comes another cycle of developing yourself and this is showing up primarily in your conversations and through all your communication, networking and multi media outlets. The deepest and most profound work, relating and transformation come in your private and reclusive life. As your responsibility within your community and friendship pushes you towards new horizons your values take on a more emotional content and a grounded plan or schedule to assist those in need. If your shadow aspect has been revealed through a connection to your higher-self you may want to make it more personal and visible now. The healing axis is prompting you to be more of your emotional self and to share that in your personal one-on-one relating as your destiny is now bound up in them. This New Moon has you turning inwards to discern the workings of your own mind and to do the necessary work of transforming your shadow through direct experience of it. Your love of community and friends continues to bring a change of structure as you look beneath the surface of current events. This has been and continues to be a work of unravelling and powerful release for you and long held beliefs continue to be modified or released. Take action on your foreign concerns.

Better Angels & Inner Demons

The idea, spawned by the Enlightenment some 350 years or so ago, that humankind was a perfectible species, via human intelligence and endeavour, that progress over time moved inexorably onward and upward, has pretty much had the stuf¿ng kicked out of it by the events of the 20th Century.

past was a lot worse… Tribal warfare was nine times as deadly as war and genocide in the 20th century. The murder rate of Medieval Europe was more than thirty times what it is today. Slavery, sadistic punishments, and frivolous executions were unexceptionable features of life for millennia, then suddenly were targeted for abolition. Wars between developed countries have vanished, and even in the developing world, wars kill a fraction of the people they did a few decades ago. Rape, battering, hate crimes, deadly riots, child abuse, cruelty to animals-all substantially down.

Such a view was easy to align with the religious standpoint, for those who wished, simply substituting God for man or vice versa. Science and Darwin may have corrected our inÀated view of our place in the universe, but did not dent our faith in human progress. If anything, it added more hubris to the mix. It took two world wars and the horrors of 20th How could this have happened, if human nature has not Century totalitarianism for us to start to know the inner changed?

Worse, unlike the better angels that steer us away. Thanks to the spread those far-off sepia-toned Edwardian days of seeming peace of government, literacy, trade, and cosmopolitanism, we and prosperity and all we’ve learned in a ghastly century, we increasingly control our impulses, empathize with others, seem to be sinking back into an age of terrorism, religious bargain rather than plunder, debunk toxic ideologies, and wars and mass migration. deploy our powers of reason to reduce the temptations of violence. And yet…, are things really as bad as we feel? In some ways That and demographics tell the story. Consider: they are, and we’re right to worry.

According to scientists, (even they fall in created especially for a couple to be treated like and a king love) dopamine is a natural stimulate released in the and queen. brain when we “fall in love.” You enter an exotic world of ancient Persia, India, Egypt and Its brings out feelings of sexual Morocco, with plush Persian carpets, coloured glass lamps possessiveness, mood swings, illuminate the room, a hand-painted mural on one wall depicts obsessive cravings, butterÀies in the the relics of ancient Rajastan while a tent-like curtain stomach, elation and a desire to win surrounds an enormous black iridescent sea shell-shaped the greatest prize of all – a mating bath to languish in warm bubbling water. The practitioners partner. Norepinephrine is the second and personal butler are dressed in traditional costumes chemical released in the brain when representing these ancient times to create an authentic we fall in love; its signs are shakes, experience. dry mouth and pounding heart. The three signs of love are: an intense craving for the beloved, highly motivated to win the affection of the object of their love and can’t stop thinking of them. I’m sure all of you have felt this way at least once in your life. Known as the greatest force on earth, love has inspired many to celebrate their love for hundreds of years with poems, love letters and gifts. Saint Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries in the world on February 14 each year and is believed to be named after an early Christian saint named Valentinus based on several martyrdom stories of a priest imprisoned for performing weddings for Roman soldiers who were forbidden to marry.

In the ¿fth century Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine’s Day, which during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed that February 14 was the beginning of bird’s mating season in England and France adding to the idea of a day for romance. Saint Valentine himself, may have sent the ¿rst Valentine letter according to legend, he healed the daughter of his jailor during his imprisonment and wrote her a letter before his execution signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell. Allegedly, Saint Valentine was also said to have cut hearts from parchment and gave them to the soldiers, which is the possible origin of using hearts to celebrate this holiday. But the oldest known Valentine in the English language was composed by a woman named Margery Brews to her ¿ckle ¿nance in 1477. Today, over 1.5 billion Valentine’s cards are sent each year. It’s time to think about how to spend this special day with your loved one. One of the greatest sensuous pleasures we can indulge in with our lover is in the spa. Give yourself over to the nurturing hands of an experienced practitioner to soothe, relax and pamper you. What better way than to share a wonderful experience with your lover than in an exotic looking spa? For a special occasion like Valentine’s Day make a memorable celebration of your love with a specially tailored spa ritual. I must say the most exotic experience is in the glamorous Indian and Middle Eastern architecture of Prana Spa’s Private Suite, which is a magni¿cent spacious room

There are four choices to choose from in the private suite: Eastern Mystique, Jewel of Nile, Sinbad’s Seven Voyages to Health or One Thousand and One Nights or you can create your own experience. My partner and I selected the most popular, the Jewel of the Nile, 240 minutes of luxury. After being ushered into the magni¿cent chamber, we changed into comfortable wine coloured robes and slippers then sat on an enormous round sofa with copious plush cushions. The butler came in and showed us the menu of ala-carte canapés, wines and champagnes to choose from. We chose four canapés and a bottle of sparkling wine. Then the butler asked us to approve a selection of music to enhance our experience.

We savored a glass of sparkling wine to get us in the mood for the coming pampering while sitting in comfortable chairs with our feet in warm water with semi-precious stones on the bottom of the foot bowls as the ritual began. Next we climbed on the massage beds and the female practitioners applied the twenty-four karat gold infused massage oil with dancing ¿ngers over our bodies. Gold has long been used for its healing properties and beauty enhancement. The profoundly relaxing therapeutic massage eliminated all our tight muscles and knots and culminated in anointing the seven chakras with precious gemstones being placed on each energy centre to promote the Àow of positive vibrations for ¿fteen minutes of tranquility. Our attendants continued with a natural product facial, cleansing the face and exfoliating the skin followed by a relaxing face massage then culminating in a genuine powdered pearl mask to brighten and enhance the face. Our crowning glory was now given attention by applying warm oils and rosemary to nourish the scalp and hair as we were gently massaged into a state of bliss. Our soothing journey down the Nile was completed with a legendary Cleopatra milk bath in the opulent shell shaped bath. A tray of canapés and bottle of sparkling wine sat on the side of the bath for us to enjoy the solitude for thirty minutes in warm bubbling milky water. After being saturated with milk we donned our robes and retired to the huge sofa to ¿nish our drinks and snacks. After awhile our attendants softly knocked and asked to enter our private world to inform us that our four hours of paradise was finished. After we leisurely dressed we emerged feeling like a king and queen. Make this Valentine’s Day an unforgettable experience at Prana Spa. Indulge and allow yourself to receive total pleasure with your loved one. Canapés and wine packages are optional. www.pranaspabali.com Tel: 0361- 730840 Copyright spa inspirations 2016 For clinics and spas offering new treatments contact me for an upcoming story.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

C/He/G-20 Jan. 16

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

ZIKA VIRUS…Should we be worried? Zika virus….should we be worried? Probably not In Indonesia, (currently). So why all the hoo-ha? Zika is spreading fast, and the effects of this virus are devastating on pre-born babies. This little-known infection transmitted by mosquitoes, appears to be related to dengue, yellow fever and West Nile virus. It is transmitted by some species of Aedes mosquito. The infection can occur without symptoms but in some cases it can cause fever, rash, severe headaches, joint pain and muscle pain. Illness is usually not severe and hospital treatment is not required. The virus which has seen most cases in the Americas, in particular Brazil, has now been reported in the Philippines, Samoa and Australia. The symptoms of Zika are similar to those of dengue and chikungunya, diseases spread through the same mosquitoes that transmit Zika - the Aedes Egypti. The A. Egypti mosquito is common here and as we have seen in the past with the migration of the Dengue virus we can expect that in the not too distant future, Zika will arrive in Bali. Should pregnant women be worried about Zika? Yes. Pretty much all the risk is for pregnant women traveling to areas in the world where Zika cases are emerging. Although much is unknown, there is a possibility that the Zika virus causes microcephaly – a condition in which babies are born with abnormally small heads. Doctors in northern Brazil noticed a surge in babies with the condition in October and are worried there is a connection. What is microcephaly? Microcephaly is a condition that causes small heads and damaged brains. The brain damage is due to abnormal brain development of the baby in the womb or during

Samoa, Suriname, and Venezuela.

infancy. Babies and children with microcephaly often have challenges with their brain development as they grow older. According to WHO, microcephaly can be caused by a variety of environmental and genetic factors such as Downs syndrome; exposure to drugs, alcohol or other toxins in the womb; and rubella infection during pregnancy. A Zika outbreak in Brazil is thought to be behind 4000 cases of microcephaly. Authorities in Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Jamaica have advised women to delay becoming pregnant until more is known. What can I do to protect myself? Should I not go to countries that have Zika infections? WHO is not recommending any travel or trade restrictions related to Zika virus disease. However, the Australian government is advising women who are pregnant (in any trimester) or who plan to become pregnant to consider postponing travel to any area where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. Areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing are dif¿cult to determine and likely to change over time. However, warnings now exists for countries including: Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Cape Verde, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guadelope, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Saint Martin,

Prevention • No vaccine exists to prevent Zika virus disease (Zika). • Prevent Zika by avoiding mosquito bites (see previous BA articles). • During the ¿rst week of infection, Zika virus can be found in the blood and passed from an infected person to an other mosquito through mosquito bites. An infected mosquito can then spread the virus to other people. • To help prevent others from getting sick, avoid mosquito bites during the ¿rst week of illness. • If you have been traveling to Zika virus zones and become ill with Zika-like symptoms seek medical help immediately.

Pathways to Healing the Body, Mind & Spirit By Michele Cempaka

Stillness I have been an Energy healer for more than 10 years and an Empath since I was four years old. I have a very good knowledge of someone’s energetic system and the ability to sense when someone’s chakras are blocked or if there is a rip or dent in their auric field. I can also perceive when someone has picked up negative energies such as black magic or other people’s negative thought forms. I have the capacity to journey into other dimensions and do soul retrieval work or assist a client with healing and extraction. All these years I have developed my skills as an energy worker, and continue to offer potent healing and transformation for many people who seek out my assistance. Yet, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is quite different than anything I’ve ever encountered. It is a form of bodywork or alternative therapy which involves using therapeutic touch to influence the cerebrospinal fluids to regulate within the body. CST was originally founded by John Upledger, an Osteopath who did research on his own body for over 30 years in order to determine the unique rhythms of our body systems. Upledger discovered how to pinpoint and correct specific irregularities in the body with particular focus on the cranium, sacrum and the spinal cord. Through bandaging and compression his head, he also learned how our cranium bones move and respond to physical pressure or compression. His work was truly ground breaking, because for the first time he was able to find concrete evidence that our bones are not static – they are always moving and therefore have a unique rhythm. I have always been fascinated with the body but have never explored this aspect so deeply until I did craniosacral level one and two last month. For the first time I really understood the workings of our bodies in ways I have never understood before. I now comprehend the mind, body and spirit connection through practicing stillness, which is a fundamental aspect of CST. During my training with Leonid Soboleff, we gave two sessions and received two sessions so that we could gain direct experience with how to work with the body, as well as feel the powerful effects of CST on our own bodies. As I stood at my partner’s feet who I was working on, I became space. I imagined a fulcrum which is an energy chord so to speak, stretching from the back of my head far out into the ricefields behind me. By doing this, I created neutrality which is the key to really listening to a client’s body. As I tuned into the woman before me without any agenda about how to heal or change anything in her body, I began to sense her cerebrospinal fluids flowing in a beautiful rhythm. I had never felt this kind of sensation before. It was almost like a gently moving river with currents that were continuously flowing. I continued in stillness just waiting and listening. In that moment I realized that this was just like meditating, but the only difference is that instead of focusing on my breath, I was focusing on the person’s body and listening to what it was telling me. This kind of deep listening requires a total quieting of the mind – letting go of all discursive thoughts and being fully present.

I opened up to the space even more and her body revealed to me what it desired and required. It was like a beautiful dance between the practitioner and the client’s body intelligence. There was a temptation to fall into her field, as the sensations were quite intoxicating, but as the practitioner, I understood that I was holding space so that her body could naturally realign and heal itself. Each time I moved to another part of the body, I just listened, following the tidal movements and noticing what was out of rhythm. As I became aware of any irregularities, they automatically came back into alignment without me doing anything. All that was required of me was just to hold that part of the body and listen; the body did the rest. There is a trust that our bodies know exactly what to do in order to realign and heal naturally. The more that a practitioner can surrender to this, the more possibilities there are for the client’s body to return to its natural state of optimal health.

C/He/I-03 Feb 16

Craniosacral Therapy is not a panacea, but it has helped many people with ailments such as brain impairments and structural misalignments from accidents and injuries, asthma, Alzheimer’s disease, digestive issues, chronic back, hip and neck pain, poor circulation, women’s reproductive issues and much more. Through practicing CST, I was able to get in touch with the field of Oneness and perceive this higher intelligence at work which is beyond any logical explanation. I am continuously in awe of our body and our being’s capacities to self heal and come into natural alignment. As we hold intention for this to take place with total ease, miracles can sometimes happen. Every day I am truly grateful for the work that I do and the lives that I touch. Every day I realize that the learning never ends as there is still so much more that we can discover to enrich our lives and the lives of others. I love this journey of discovery. Thank you, Leonid, for being a part of my journey and for sharing your gifts with the world.

Sweania’s on Track to Her Olympic Dream On an island where conditions for training can often be less than ideal, not to mention the added cost of travel in order to compete at an elite, international level, what on earth would fuel a young local lady’s desire to become a top triathlete?

groups. There have been a string of other successes over the last two years and her quest to be the best continues in 2016 with a triathlon in Sumatra in April and the Rottnest Island Tri in Western Australia in May. In an effort to assist Sweania with her goal, The Canggu Club has offered her a Bronze Membership which enables her to enjoy full use of their extensive gym facilities as well as the pool for her swim training. She is looking forward to meeting with Canggu Club swim coach and Olympic champion Luisa Striani in the hope of gleaning some extra tips for the triathlon swim leg as well as one of The Club’s personal trainers, Swen de Ruyter for some advice on strength and conditioning.

Pure determination, guts and the power of dreams that’s what! Hell bent on being an athlete from the tender age of seven, now seventeen year old Sweania from Batu Bolong is a delightful example of the belief that anything is possible if you have the will and strength to keep trying. It has certainly not been an easy ride, with the loss of inspirational loved ones and ﬁnancial hardship along the way but Sweania agrees she has been blessed to receive some welcome assistance through sponsorship from local community groups, charities and generous individuals who have admired her sheer grit and drive despite adversity and would love to see her achieve her goal. Already an avid surfer and accomplished swimmer with a swag of medals and national titles by her early teens, the Green School scholarship student set her sights on a higher prize and sought assistance with training to represent Indonesia as an Olympic triathlete. Without a racing bike, embarking on this quest was nigh on impossible until Singaporean Joni Wong helped her out with some wheels and, along with sponsorship from generous individuals and groups such as Solemen Indonesia, Sweania went on to win the under 19 division

Strike Bali is open seven days a week and February’s off peak price special runs for the entire month. Valentine deals are available for the weekend of the 13th and 14th only so get in early to ensure you’re set to impress that special someone and treat them to a date with a difference. Don’t forget Canggu Club Gold and Platinum members also receive an extra 20% discount.

Sweania trains everyday and juggles her school commitments with early morning swims along with bike training around the streets of Babakan and Pererenan with mentor, sponsor and enthusiastic cycler Graham Almond from Bali Assist. With the invaluable assistance from Rotary eClub, sponsors from her school, the island community and The Canggu Club, Sweania is certainly on track to achieve her goal. But help can only get you half way. True success stems from the determination within and if Sweania’s drive to see her dream become a reality is anything to go by, I’m pretty certain the ﬁnish line is well within her reach! of the Bali Triathlon in 2013 - her ﬁrst international event! Sweania’s engaging personality and sincerity as well as her own generosity and willingness to give back to other youth in her local community has not gone unnoticed, garnishing offers of support from her school community and business

If you would like to help Sweania in her quest to compete at her next international event in May, contact the Canggu Club on +62(361) 8483939 or go to the Rotary eClub of Bali community gofundme page to make a contribution gofundme.com

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris

Serpents in My Garden of Eden ‘Dear Dr Kris, I have read your article about repellent mosquito plants in Bali. My question is, are there also snake repellent plants? Thank you Kind regards, Bernard’ While some snakes can be bene¿cial to the garden (they eat insects and rodents), it is understandable why a homeowner might want to keep them away, you may not be sure whether or not they are venomous, and even then non-venomous snakes can still bite. But never mind, there are organic ways that you can keep your garden serpent free. Front Line Precautions Just as with repelling mosquitoes, to repel snakes plants won’t do the job alone. In combination with other strategies they may help to reduce the incidence of snakes in your yard if they are becoming a problem. Before you think about which plants to use ¿rst look at ways to deter the snakes in the ¿rst place. Remove anything that might invite them into your property. Certain habitats and food sources could be attracting them. An obvious starting point is to reduce clutter. A clean yard that is devoid of enticing hiding spots is the ¿rst point to address. • Keep your lawn or grass mowed short, if it’s over ankle height you will be enticing them to come in. Reduce areas of tall grasses and thin out overgrown shrubs and thick plants. Remove piles of plant cuttings, debris, etc. • Get rid of covered or hidden places that snakes like to hide such as piles of rocks, wood/timber, old/unused furniture or piles of anything that will allow the snakes to crawl under. Seal outdoor sheds and storage areas. • Remove ground level water sources, some snakes are drawn to water and have often been caught taking a swim in the backyard pool. Large puddles should be drained or ¿lled in and ponds should be positioned away from the house and monitored for snake problems. • Ensure that your yard is free from food sources, primarily rats, mice, grasshoppers, cockroaches and other insects which are the staple diet of a snake. Make sure all bins and compost are sealed to avoid attracting rodents and other pests. Keeping birds and chickens will also attract rodents. Keep bird seed or chicken feed in airtight tight containers. If rodents are a problem it may be necessary to set traps and baits. • Pets (cats and dogs) can deter snakes but may also be injured by them in confrontations.

NOTE: I usually veer away from poison but if you are dealing with rats and mice it is necessary to eradicate them immediately, they carry many types of parasites and disease and will also bring in Àeas. If you do use rat baits be extremely careful with the placement especially if you have pets and children, best place is to put them under the house, better still buy the bait boxes with only enough room for the rodents to crawl into to munch on the bait. Plants to Repel Snakes Different plants have differing repellent effects depending on the snake species, so it’s best to plant a combination. Plants that may help: • Comfrey. It can also be added to compost to boost nutrients in your soil, and can be used as a poultice for healing muscular, soft tissue and bone injuries, hence its traditional name bone-knit. • Lemongrass. It contains citronella oil which repels mosquitoes, and also a proven snake repellent. An added advantage is that it can also be used in cooking or for making a refreshing tea. • Marigolds. Many gardeners have reported successfully using marigolds to eradicate snakes. Plant around the boundaries and near the house, they will also attract pollinators. • Rosemary. Will also repel mosquitoes and you can use it in your cooking or tea. • Sarpagandha (Rauvol¿a serpentina). Commonly known as Indian Snake root this plant is known for its ability to repel snakes, common throughout Asia, it even contains the Latin word for snake in its botanical name ‘serpentina’ which is a good sign. • Wormwood. Strong scent is said to repel snakes, also known to repel many insect pests from your garden, taken internally in traditional medicine to expel parasites. Essential Oils are Also Effective to Repel Snakes

Research conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services in 2002 has shown that various essential oils are highly effective snake repellents. The most effective were anise, clove, cinnamon, citronella (lemongrass), cedar, juniper, lavender, rosemary and sage. They now actually rely on these oils to repel snakes in cargo holds and inspections citing the disadvantages of using chemicals ‘there is a strategic need to identify repellents that can be used to drive snakes out of their refugia but that present low risk to human health and safety’. Results of the study can be found online at: http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent. cgi?article=1466&context=icwdm_usdanwrc. Their favoured choice is clove and cinnamon oil, although all of the types I have listed were shown to be effective. They have found that snakes will retreat when sprayed directly with these oils and will exit con¿ned spaces when these oils are introduced. Dilute 10mls of any on the list that you can get your hands on (clove, rosemary or lavender oil are probably the easiest to ¿nd) to a litre of water. Spray walkways and boundaries, or carefully place cotton balls or fabric saturated with the oils around snake prone areas. Even if it doesn’t work, at the very least your garden will smell nice! Other Strategies A snake proof fence is the most expensive and time consuming method for repelling snakes, but it’s also an ef¿cient long-term solution. To be an effective barrier the fence must reach at least 6 inches into the ground and slant outward at a 30-degree angle. Always wear sturdy footwear in the garden, no sandals thongs or Àip-Àops. If you have had snakes in your garden or are worried that a few might be hiding, run the lawn mower around the area before working in it to scare them off. The vibrations produced are usually enough to warn and scare them off, then you can garden without the fear of getting bitten hovering around in the back of your mind. After all gardening is meant to be relaxing and fun, not stressful, nor life threatening! There are various types of highly deadly venomous snakes in Bali, most notably the King Cobra, the Spitting Cobra and the Malayan krait, if you do see a snake don’t try to play with it or harass it, in fact your best option may be to run for your life! P.S. Don’t forget there is also the banded sea snake (whose venom ranks among the most toxic in the world) - in which case you would swim for your life.

Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton

useless and offensive discussions, which, if not deleted, quickly turn into smoldering heated arguments with blistering insults on all sides. Sometimes you get the impression that the Internet is the new mad house Psychotic United. Keeping this element civil and the lawn clean is a daunting task. It’s also important to note that Bali Expats is not a business. It’s rather a mutual support group. My fellow admins and I are working without pay and there is no other compensation than once in a while the satisfaction to have been instrumental in doing some real good. Sadly, we still receive endless critics and insults.

Do you accept business postings?

Ralph Klemp: The Bali Expats Group Born in Germany in 1964, son of a v i s i o n a r y entrepreneur (father) and a fashion designer (mother), Ralph Klemp moved to Italy at age 15 and completed high school in Milan. He studied economy and business at the prestigious B o c c o n i University in Milan where he graduated with honors in 1991. Fluent in German, Italian, English, French and Indonesian, Ralph has worked since 1990 in international business consulting and more recently started up companies in the oil and gas sector in Asia. Among his many other talents, he is a gifted writer, photographer and architect. Ralph ¿rst visited Bali 30 years ago and started living here in 2003. In 2010 he set up the Bali Expats group on Facebook, the most popular blog for expats in Bali with 33,500 members. Where did you get the idea of starting Bali Expats? I dreamed up the concept in the course of just living here and realizing that newcomers to Bali didn’t really understand why the island is so addictively attractive. This realization gave me the zany idea to write a book on the ¿rst Bali Expats, fascinating pioneers who moved to the island 30 plus years ago. My initial idea was to invite only old time expats who ful¿lled certain criteria to join, but other people’s profiles began popping. Soon hundreds of requests to join the group began pouring in from friends and friend of friends. When was your ¿rst visit to Bali? Back in 1986, I Àew to Bali on my 22nd birthday. It was a last minute decision, so when I arrived I wasn’t really prepared and had no clue where I was. Since that lifechanging day 30 years ago, ‘Bali fever’ has infected me to this very day. My ¿rst residence in Bali was the ‘Blue Ocean’ in Legian at less than $10 per night. I got a bungalow on the beach with no hot water or aircon but who needed it? I walked around barefoot dressed only in a sarong. We all did in those days! At night the sarong became my bed cover. I discovered that you could be deliriously happy with plenty of nothing. It was still the ‘old Bali’ and you could watch a trance dance right in front of your house. Though I was on a student’s budget, I could still afford 2 months in paradise. I was lucky enough to meet some of the older expats, who invited me into their stunning homes. I have always loved architecture and my desire to build my own place in Bali was born right there and then and would motivate me ever since. Which kinds of posts do you discourage? I’m tired of the whole bunch of animal activists and their endless truly annoying posts about street dog and cat adoptions. I really feel disgusted when jokesters start

No. We try to avoid over-commercialization. We do allow members to post their promos once per week. Bali Expats is a non-pro¿t community page and not a business. We would like to keep it that way. As admins, we try our best to cancel and delete what we deem inappropriate. It’s impossible to make everybody happy, but we are giving our best to keep Bali Expats meaningful and informative. Do other media ever pick up stories on your Bali Expat page? Many events have stirred a lot of interest on international news channels and our membership has grown dramatically as a result. One story that went viral and got us Australian TV exposure was the case of a sister’s attempt to ¿nd her sibling who had slipped at a hotel swimming pool and fractured her skull. The call was answered by one of our members who found her in a local hospital. Realizing that the girl needed urgent medical treatment, this marvelous angel took it upon herself to transfer the girl to a wellequipped hospital and advance the hefty bill for an urgent and lifesaving operation.

It seems to be a lot of work maintaining the site. Do you have any help? I’m a Rotarian and for us it is: “Service beyond Self,” which means we are all volunteers. “WE” means we are 5 marvelous and caring admins: Linda, Caroline, Konrad, Stu and me. All of us work pro bono and between us put in many hours a day on the site. We patrol daily and intervene when appropriate. Personally, I’m absolutely in favor of free speech, but social media are also the meeting ground of lots of people who have no respect and offend by writing racial, political or religious hate posts. The ‘bottom line’ is surely not a ¿nancial one, but it gives immense satisfaction to see that we have taken a role in helping people and sometimes even saving a life. Can you recommend other sources of info about Bali’s expat community?

I always ¿nd the Jakarta Post to be a balanced and reliable source of news. Actually, there is a multitude of information relevant found in Bali Expats. It’s great that group members love to link sources; therefore we get the spin-off articles and even TV reports. The page is a virtual catalyst of everything concerning Bali. With 33,000 members, we have also 33,0000 free-lance journalists who contribute their amazing insights about their Bali experiences. What expat-related publications are you involved in? Bali Expats is all about its members. I just created a platform, the content isn’t mine. I have started a few other groups on Facebook for Bali Expats. I’ve also published a few books on Bali and have a few more to come. Where may you be contacted? klemp.ralph@gmail.com

The Frugal Balinist *Internet odds and ends. Instant text messaging, because

of its extremely low cost, is the electronic superhighway of Indonesian communications; cheapest SMS services are: Telkomsel/Simpati’s Paket SMS Mania; INDOSAT/IM3’S Paket SMS Hebat; Paket SMS XL). *Jakarta is world’s No. 1 tweeting city; most Indonesians who use Facebook don’t use the Internet; the Internet is Indonesia’s 2nd source of information after TV. *The Web gives you access to all human knowledge so if you have any kind of problem, Google it ¿rst. *For streaming You Tube or NetÀix, a decent Internet connection is required, but only 0.01% of the country has access to the required 25 MBPs speed for viewing HD movies. If you have a slow connection, you’ll have infuriating buffer interruptions, particularly if the weather is bad. *WowShack is Indonesia’s fun answer to Buzzfeed, providing Indonesia-related content worth sharing between the country’s 50 million active smartphones users, 69 million Facebook users and 20 million Twitter users with listicles, quizzes, headlines, maps, crazy stats, bizarre Indonesian factoids and impossible tongue twisters with much to learn about this wonderfully fascinating, maddening and complex country. Where else would you learn that Indonesians believe that if a woman holds her hair in her mouth during labor it will ensure a smooth delivery and that if she thinks badly of anyone while she is pregnant the baby will resemble that despised person?

*Food tips. Be wary of

huge restaurant menus; food in the tropics just doesn’t keep. To maintain 200-plus items on a menu the restaurant has to have lots of stock, which is subject to spoilage if stored long term. Wait people will never say “out” if you order something. A large menu should set off alarms bells. *Slow cookers are a much cheaper way of cooking than using an oven. *Be aware that diets low in meat—particularly beef and lamb—take less of a toll on the environment. If a typical carnivore switched to eating like a typical vegan, their dietary carbon footprint would be halved. Another consideration is that factory farming in Indonesia is based on treating animals, particularly poultry, with ruthless cruelty. *USDA for the ¿rst time in 2015 recommends limiting sugar intake to 4 tbsp. per day to reduce risk of disease, making big waves in the food industry. Check out Bali scores of vegetarian and vegan restaurants at www.happycow.net/asia/indonesia/bali/ and all the vegetarian options on Wikipedia’s “List of Indonesia Dishes.” *To ¿nd truly authentic village food, rely on your Balinese driver who has most likely ridden all over the island and knows all the best places to enjoy the ¿nest Balinese cuisine. *It’s easy to gain weight in Bali because much of the food is fried and has added fats like peanuts, oils, coconut milk sauces, sweet and fatty processed food, biscuits, cakes, sweets, ice cream and chocolate. If you eat out, ¿nd places without Western menus. Indonesian and Balinese food - rice, seafood, ikan bakar, vegetables, fruit or a fusion of local and Western sits lighter in the stomach than bread, pasta or large servings of meat. Beer, cocktails and other alcoholic beverages are pure empty calories. Even though you may eat multiple times each day, eat smaller portions.

* Minitips. The 2015 Indonesia Travel and Tourism Award for “Leading Inbound Travel Agent” was given to H . I . S . To u r s & Tr a v e l . *Amcham Indonesia’s biweekly newsletter has useful business-focused info, interviews and profiles of business personalities and regulatory, e-commerce, seminars and foreign investment news. *Use the comparison site hotelscombined. com to get the best guaranteed prices from all the top travel sites in one simple search with no booking fee, no markup and you get an reward night after 10 stays. *Because of the decline in the cost of fuel, in Jan16 the fares for ferry crossings between Gilimanuk and Ketapang were reduced 4.51% for vehicles and 17.14% for pedestrians. *The GoJek app is a dirt-cheap way to get around on the back of motorcycles. *There are high risks of being infected by malware and other viruses when downloading illegally or buying bootleg DVDs on Bali. *The U.S. Preventative Task Force recommends (Jan16) that women with an average risk for breast cancer

should start getting mammograms starting at age 50. *It’s ill advised to wear gold body ornaments, carry a wallet or to keep money in your top shirt pocket. *Bilingual (English/ Indonesian) Daily Social (https://dailysocial.id) is Indonesia’s leading tech blog for startup news, investment advice, product reviews, e-commerce trends, infographics, etc. *Bali’s latest ATM scam has thieves inserting a strip of cardboard in the money slot and then wait for money from withdrawals to back up behind it, so never use an isolated ATM as there is no way of proving to your bank that you didn’t receive the cash. *Best way to make money in residential real estate is to buy the worst home on the best street. *For marketing purposes, elderly consumers think they are 15 years younger than they actually are. *The biggest lie people tell themselves about wealth is that if they make more money, they’ll be rich. *The cheapest way out of Indonesia is a Àight from Medan to Penang or a ferry (book online) from Medan to Penang or from Jakarta to Singapore. *Kalau hendak menyimpan uang, haruslah – membelanjakan uang. If you want to save money, you have to spend money wisely. *Best way to learn Indonesian is to never speak your own language but communicate solely in Indonesian. *Waste nothing.

weeding and eating pests, require little maintenance, take care of themselves and can be left free to nest in trees or bushes. Coops make raising chickens easier because they are all in one place so you can give feed consistently, they are easier to keep track of and collect chicken products and small chicks can be protected dogs, cats, rats, and snakes that feed on chicks and eggs. All you need is fresh air, shade, kitchen scraps, water, laying box, newspaper or wood shavings to line the bottom of a brooder, dry earth, sand and friends (other chickens). Coops can be made from recycled materials and built as part of a yard to increase onsite soil fertility. They only need to be kept in the coop at night. The ¿rst four weeks of a chicken’s life is the most critical. If special attention is given during this time period, they will grow healthier and larger and be able to produce more. Feeding them chili, garlic and crushed eggshells well help them ¿ght off minor sicknesses. Chickens also provide education on food awareness, give companionship, entertainment and teach responsibility to kids.

Vaseline beauty tips. Discovered in Pennsylvania oil ¿elds in 1859, this oil-based beauty staple possesses remarkable moisturizing and lubricating properties. Petroleum jelly started out as a ¿rst aid for cuts, burns and blisters. Now the list of its bene¿ts has grown exponentially over the last 150 years. Spread between thighs and under armpits to prevent chaf¿ng in hot sticky weather. Relieves diaper rash. Coat inside of ears to keep moisture out when swimming. Apply thinly to chapped lips as a balm or use as lip-gloss. Waterproof and shape eyelashes to appear long, thick and lush. Shields skin from coloring when dyeing hair. Use when manicuring for better looking nails. Soften feet, nail cuticles, elbows and knees so they don’t dry and crack. Apply on skin as a primer to keep eye shadow on longer. Remove makeup like mascara, eyelash glue, lipstick, eyeliners, powders. Mix with seasalt to rehydrate skin and work as body scrub. Smear on inside of container caps and lids to make them easier to unscrew. Apply on wrist and other pulse points before spraying perfume to make fragrance last longer. Use as sex lube, to enhance masturbation, as an all-over body moisturizer when skin pores are open and still damp after bath (don’t use with condoms as this jelly can weaken latex!). Sold in 1.75 oz. jars (Rp28,000), easy-to-carry 20-gr sizes (Rp40,000) and 3.75 oz. size (Rp58,400). Note: A more health conscious alternative is virgin coconut oil, another multitasking moneysaving miracle cream available everywhere in Bali.

*Tolong lepaskan sepatu. A recent University of Arizona

study concluded that contaminated exteriors of shoes are literally dirtier than toilet seats, tracking myriad virulent species of coliform bacteria, pesticides, coal tar and lead on to house Àoors including germs in fecal matter and deadly E. Coli, which can cause bloodstream and respiratory tract infections. Children under 2 are especially vulnerable as they play on the Àoor and put their hands in their mouths an average of 80 times an hour. Fortunately, the Indonesian culture looks upon wearing shoes in the house as a major faux pas and expects guests to remove their shoes at the door, a habit that is polite and shows respect for your hosts. Indonesians sit and sleep on mats on Àoors and enter their mosques and temples shoeless. Besides, going barefoot stimulates pressure points on feet that balance hormonal secretions, regulate metabolism, reduce stress, help release water retention, promote elimination, relieve bloating, etc.

*Raising chickens.

Home gardeners, urban homesteaders and restaurant managers alike want healthy, fresh, freerange organic eggs. But chickens provide many more valuable products than just eggs and meat: money, manure and feathers. These animal tractors save labor

*Recharge your well! Bali is facing a major ecological crisis due to excessive withdrawal of freshwater supplies compared to replenishment rates. 60% of Bali’s watersheds have already dried up. The island’s diminishing freshwater needs to be protected. The water table, particularly in the south, has dropped 50 m below sea level. In less than 10 years, thousands of wells will run dry or ¿ll with foul salt water. This is irreversible and potentially means dependence on desalinated water, which would be disastrous for residents and the economy. Rivers are becoming increasingly polluted because of trash disposal and overuse of agri-chemicals. The low-tech answer to this looming problem, which has been proven to be extremely effective in India, is to re¿ll Bali’s groundwater aquifers. Now rainwater from house roofs is directed into rivers that lead to the ocean, which puts the water supply in danger of drying up. Instead, rainwater from rooftops must be redirected via a ¿lter to your well. Or redirected to a sump tank, which then recharges excess water directly to into your well. To learn more about installing your own recharge system, visit the IDEP website (www.idepfoundation.org). * Greenpower

generators. This high-tech generator is ideal for shops, restaurants, workshops, hotels, of¿ces, farms, homes and outdoor activities. Simple to use and easy to maintain and repair, 90% of its spare parts can be interchanged with gasoline generator sets. Natural gas generators rarely fail as there is no fuel interruption. Just hook up the Greenpower generator to your home cooking gas bottle and you’re ready to go. Durable and reliable, 25% longer life than gasoline/diesel generators. Running costs are 30%-70% lower than gasoline generator sets. Cleaner emission, no smoke, no smell, fast starting. Because this generator uses LPG/NG, the unit is safer for families and kinder to the environment. No longer do you have to deal with the storage of gasoline. Safety features include automatically cutting off gas supply inside the air-fuel mixer when engine stops running. No risk of fuel pipe blockage due to fuel residue deposit, even if the equipment has not been in use for a long period of time. An optional automatic device will start up the generator in just a few seconds in case of blackout. Three size models available in Bali from Rp3,920,000 to Rp6,750,000 ex-Jakarta, so delivery costs will be added.

Coming The answer is The Pete Summers band will be coming to Bali from Poland this international DJ duo has been shredding shortly and along with other newcomers will be playing a few the house scene the last few years since playing in Berlin’s venues which inspire international up and comers. Rumors famous Boiler room in 2013, de¿ nitely one to watch and a are that the band will be heading into Canggu in the summer great score for Bali. and along with other Aussie newbie artists will be found at dedicated gigs at Old Mans, and other local establishments 3. Every Wednesday in February. (Dirty ol’ Wednesdays)at in the area, well at least that’s what they told me. Old Mans Canggu.

By Toby

Greetings music pioneers, and welcome to this another edition of Music Mattes here in the Bali Advertiser. Today is Australia day! That once in a year day when everything stops for beers, barbies, and the triple J 100. Since Bali has become home to so many Australians and Australia day literally celebrates the conquest of a nation, I thought I would dedicate this issue of Music Matters to up and comers from the land down-under who are keen on making a pilgrimage to Bali in the future. As I sat eating my snags, and drinking wine from a goon bag listening to the hottest 100 countdown, the thought struck me that the Australian music scene is pretty diverse. It is a veritable smorgasbord of talent. From singer song writers and traditional bands, to electronic artists DJ’s and experimental groups, right now in Perth there is a massive cultural festival occurring (the Perth Fringe) with comedy, arts, and of course music. I was lucky enough to go to a bar called The Brass Monkey to catch a live act from possibly one of the most experimental (breakthrough) artists I have yet encountered. Calling themselves the Pete Summers band, the two piece describe their collaboration in their own words “Pete Summers is a musician with a heart of gold and a musical history that spans over three decades”. This initial summary literally gives no clue as to what these guys are about. After sipping several rather ¿ne ¿fty lashes ales the band walked on stage and literally was a guy with a bass guitar and another guy just beat boxing singing and using a vocal synthesizer. The end effect was de¿nitely unique and (like their songs) was really entertaining. Unlike other bands they couldn’t really play any covers so all their music was completely original and very different. I felt a bit like someone who saw Jefferson Airplane in the 60’s must have felt “woah…. this is trippy man!” So the question you are probably asking yourself is “Toby how on earth does this relate to Bali or the music scene over here?”

TJB - Hi guys, so what’s all this about you planning a jaunt over to Bali? PSB - “Yea we have been there before and the electronic scene is really picking up so we are keen to make our name over there as well as here, plus it’s a kick ass holiday for us. TJB - So how do you think you will go down in Bali? PSB - “Well other experimental bands here got a break over at Old Mans bar in Canggu so we are hoping to do the same. Bali is a pretty forward thinking place so hopefully they’ll like what we have got!” TJB - So what is the band, how did it come about? PSB - We have been together for about six months so were pretty new, it came about mainly due to our wanting to be different and do something other bands/groups hadn’t, I was good at beat box and Pete was an epic bassist so it kind of fell together from there!”

This one night is rapidly becoming legendary with beer pong challenges, a dirty disco and a heap of live entertainment, Old man’s have de¿nitely got their ¿nger on the pulse and this event and others they hold just proves it, probably one of the best nights out in Bali at the minute. The bar is looking to expand its gigs in the coming months by introducing talent from Australia, and also local Indonesian breakthrough artists. All I can say is if you are looking for a messy night out with great music, a beach setting, and great atmosphere then this is de¿nitely the place. Address: Canggu. https://www.facebook.com/oldmansbali

Hopefully the Pete Summers Band will be coming to Bali very soon and Music Matters will keep you updated on tour dates Ok guys well that just about covers it for this issue just time etc. If you want more info on the band visit their Face book to tell you that there will be many more surprise acts coming Bali’s way in the coming months and maybe even some page at: https://www.facebook.com/Pete-Summers-Band. from the rock world I can say no more, anyway I hope you So what’s hot what’s not and what’s coming up? Here are my had an awesome Australia day and that you remembered to get drunk in true Aussie style, but above all kept it live top tips for three must see gigs in February. and made it matter. 1. 04/05 Feb 2016 Anja Schnieder at Woo Bar Seminyak. If you like deep house, electronic beats, and a good party then Woo bar Bali has you covered when they present top mix artist DJ. Anja Schnieder. The party is free and she is widely regarded as one of the world’s most respected DJs, and has traveled to almost every corner of the globe with her music, making her mark at world- famous clubs globally.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

The Kos not for all, but at what Cost? C/Bm/I-03 Feb 16

Recently, we interviewed prospective staff to work for us at our family based gamelan and dance centre called Mekar Bhuana. Fortunately we found a good husband and wife team – they turned up the interview 15 minutes early, were polite, interested, motivated, and the way they talked told us instantly that they were “onto it” and suited to the positions we had open. For those of you who have tried to ¿nd staff will know, these attributes are extremely rare these days in Bali. Since we had found the right people and they were new to Bali, we offered to ¿nd them some accommodation nearby. Rented rooms which are smaller and a lot less luxurious than an apartment are called ‘kos’ in Indonesian. Often they are part of a ‘kos-kosan’ complex that have many rooms next to each other which face out onto a central compound. They may have shared toilet and cooking facilities. Rental prices are relatively cheap and in theory landlords will accept anyone who wants to pay. However, when my wife (who is Balinese) visited a number to try to ¿nd somewhere for our new staff to stay, she was a little shocked to discover that some landlords were discriminatory about who could rent a room. “Maaf, kami terima orang ‘Bali-Bali’ saja” (we only accept Bali-Bali people (meaning Balinese Hindus) or “Saya hanya terima orang bulé” (I only take Westerners) were sad and bizarre ways to say “No one who doesn’t share our religious convictions” and “I only want people who are (potentially) cashed up”. In many countries, as a landlord you can’t do this. Not only is it discriminatory and racist but it’s hardly likely to make people feel welcome, especially if you’ve travelled hundreds or thousands of kilometers to ¿nd a new life. Such cultural attitudes are on the increase in Bali, and even more so since the recent terrorist attack in Jakarta. It’s hardly conducive to building on Bali’s supposedly tolerant attitude that is so characteristic of the Balinese people. What’s for sure, such attitudes are only going to serve to further the divide between religion and ethnicity on this island which is quickly becoming a cultural melting pot of Indonesia.

If You Have a Problem with.....

“The Case of the Recalcitrant Swimming Pool” I know two wonderful people who, seeking a place to relax in their later years, found a unique corner of paradise, a stunning spot that overlooks a green valley filled with coconut trees and beautifully sculptured rice fields. They designed a beautiful house that fits beautifully into the landscape, hardly noticeable on its perch above the valley and with an infinity edge swimming pool built into a grassy knoll. There’s something magical isn’t there about architectural design when it blends into its natural setting? The gentle twittering of the birds in the trees, the burble of the subak, the tinkle of a waterfall, the local canine alpha male tearing the throat out of some opportunist interloper that dared to sniff the rear end of his beloved. Ah the sweet sounds of paradise. This is an idillic place, a place where one could relax and let the cares of the world drift off to some distant oblivion far far away……. But it is well to remember that, in a house of the modern era, the cares of the world don’t much care for oblivion and have an unfortunate tendency to come back and, ever so assertively, sink their teeth into your buttocks. And so it was that, after seven wonderful years of carefree coexistence at one (well perhaps two) with nature an unfortunate incident occurred which shattered the silence, strangled the serenity, pulverised the peace, trashed the tranquility and wrecked the wellness………. The swimming pool began to leak. In spite of numerous vain attempts the problem was not going away. People came, they tried, they failed, they went. More and more people until they ran out of people willing to try to solve the problem, time went on and people simply wouldn’t turn up and phones would not be answered. Ends of tethers had been reached long ago, pleading down telephones was as effective as feeding viagra to a sloth and hopes for a return to tranquility was giving way to wailing and the gnashing of teeth, dogs were howling and dental bills were mounting. My phone rang and having neither viagra nor a sloth to hand and having a fascination for tricky problems I decided we’d better take a look. Now as it happens I have a very trusty right hand plumber, one of those people as rare as a gallinacious jungle fowl’s molars in Indonesia - a tradesman and, more than that, a man who really knows his onions (well - his chillies) and, as on many similar adventures in the past, we set off together to investigate the case of the recalcitrant swimming pool. There was clearly a leak, the pool was losing far more water than mere evaporation could account for. There were no wet areas or signs of water emerging anywhere around the pool and no signs of visible cracks or other damage to the pool or its pipework. It was a mystery. But there was a further problem. The pool chemical balance would fluctuate dramatically. Days would be spent getting the water in good condition and then suddenly it would all go durian shaped. There seemed to be no rhyme nor reason to it. When faced with such a situation it is always best to use a systematic approach and apply a bit of logic. Be aware of the technical aspects involved and, most importantly, determine the root cause of the problem and avoid being distracted by the symptoms. Swimming pool leaks can occur in any of the component parts, the balancing tank, the water delivery pipework to the pool, the water return from the pool (particularly in infinity edge overflow troughs), and the pool drain system. Common problems are broken pipes, leaks where pipes pass through the pool shell or cracks in the pool shell itself. Ground movement is a common cause of problems which in minor cases can shear off pipes and in more serious cases can crack the pool shell. Leaking pipes can usually be easily fixed (unless the leak is underneath the pool - tunnelling under a pool is not conducive to long life expectancy) whilest cracked pool shells suggest poor design and/or construction and can be difficult and expensive to repair. Now we should also note that infinity edge pools have a balancing (or balance) tank, this is because pools lose water to evaporation and the balancing tank provides a buffer - a reserve supply of water to replenish any loss of water in the main pool and keep the water level up to the infinity edge and flowing over it. A balancing tank is a small tank separate

from, and below the level of, the main pool. Balancing tanks usually have a water supply controlled with a ball or float valve so they can automatically refill themselves when necessary. In the pool circulation system water runs from the pool into the balancing tank and from here it is pumped through a filtration system (and chlorination system if one is installed) and back to the pool. Pools without an infinity edge do not need a balancing tank because it doesn’t matter if the water level drops a little. In this case water is pumped directly from the pool, through the filter and back to the pool.

Back to our recalcitrant pool. The pool, balancing tank and pipework were checked for signs of cracking, ground movement or water in the ground. Nothing was found.

C/Bm/I-11 Nov 15

This pool has a well designed water circulation system. A bypass for the balancing tank has been installed which means that, by turning a few taps on or off water can be pumped from a drain at the bottom of the pool directly to the pump, through the filter and back to the pool and this allows the balancing tank to be bypassed. The bypass allowed us to isolate the balancing tank from the main pool and so determine which was leaking. Both the balancing tank and main pool were filled with water, all taps were closed to isolate the pipework and the system monitored. It quickly became obvious that all the water was being lost from the balancing tank. At this stage our friend decided he would take it from there and we left instructions with his staff to empty the offending tank, clean it, dry it out, examine it for cracks or other leaks and seal it on the inside. A couple of days later Fred our carrier pigeon brought us the news that no cracks were found and the tank had been sealed. Two weeks passed but then once again the phone rang and wails of dismay drew us back. The staff had failed to find the leak and the tank was still leaking.

C/Bm/I-03 Feb 16

My trusty tradesman was let loose on the job, he quickly found a rather well hidden leak behind a right angle bend in some untidy pipework in the bottom of the tank which, with the skills of an experienced plumber, was quickly sealed. But what about the mysterious fluctuations in the water’s chemical balance? This was a very interesting question. When the balancing tank was emptied it was found that there was a deep layer of sludge in the bottom which had collected over 7 years. Water flowed from a 2 inch diameter pipe (yes in Indonesia they still use inches for water pipes) into the top of the tank. When the balancing tank was full the water would fall only 10 centimetres or so into deep water and the sludge was left undisturbed at the bottom. However, when the leaking tank was nearly empty, the water would fall a good meter into the surface of the water only a few centimetres above the layer of sludge. (I do hope you are paying attention to all this vitally important information.) The water level in the balancing tank would fall overnight then, in the morning when the circulation pump switched on, a sudden rush of water into the empty tank would stir up the sludge releasing a good dose of trapped pool chemicals that had settled in the sludge. This would be pumped directly into the main pool causing a sudden change to the chemical balance of the water.

NC/BM/I-14 Oct 15

Cleaning the sludge out of the tank solved the problem. So, with the pool fixed, this left only one final issue to address. The mutt’s nuts were removed and he was left to wander the streets in confusion - he knew there was something he wanted to do but, for the life of him, he just couldn’t quite remember what it was. Tranquility was finally restored to some beautiful corner of paradise. Phil Wilson Previous “Fixed Abode” articles can be found subject indexed on our website at www.mrfixitbali.com.

BA Feature Article

BA Feature Article Year of the Monkey: Chinese New Year on Bali Chinese New Year is a way of holding on to the past while living in the present. For the upcoming events celebrating the arrival of the Year of the Monkey on February 8th , Chinese-Indonesians honor their household and heavenly deities, as well ancestors. The most important date on the Chinese social/religious calendar, the modern generation also uses this long holiday period as a time to come together as a close-knit family. The monkey is the 9th animal in the time-honored Chinese zodiac’s 12- year cycle of creatures. People born under this sign are cheerful, energetic, con¿dent, Àexible, inventive and charismatic by nature. Their weaknesses may include being egotistical, arrogant, crafty, restless and snobbish.

The latter traits will be rarely encountered as you ring in the New Year with Bali’s ethnic Chinese community. Expect crowds, noise, food vendors, traditional ceremonies, costumes and dances. It is the time to sample once-a-year New Years foods like ¿sh head soup to ensure prosperity and noodles enhance longevity. What makes the holiday even more auspicious is that the Balinese themselves have taken the festivities close to their hearts. Though many are not able to speak Mandarin, ChineseIndonesians consider themselves fully Chinese. Yet there are significant cultural and behavioral differences between mainland Chinese nationals and Chinese-Indonesians who are in some ways even more Chinese than Chinese from China. They are more attuned to ancient rituals than “real” Chinese are. For example, if you’re invited to a ChineseIndonesian wedding, the couple celebrates with a tea ceremony - unheard of in China. When it comes to customs and festival activities, Bali practices several that are specific and unique only to the island. Thus in China, the date February 8th is given to the celebrations, but in Indonesia the date is calculated from the year Confucius was born, September 28th, 551 BC. Thus you often see the Chinese New Year will be designated here as “Imlek 2567” instead of 2016. On mainland China on the eve of the New Year family members gather to watch “CCTV New Year Gala,” which broadcasts live performances of songs, dances, acrobatics and comedy skits produced by the of¿cial state news channel from 8 pm until the countdown of Chun Jie Lian Huan Wan Hui, the grand ¿nale. Viewing this extravaganza has been a tradition in China since 1983, attracting millions viewers. Chinese-Indonesians don’t watch this entertainment on TV, but visit a Chinese temple or gather for a family dinner. In some families, neighbors are also invited to take part. In China during Chinese New Year, shops are closed and the main cities are almost deserted. In Bali and other cities in Indonesia with large Chinese-Indonesian populations businesses are open as usual. This is one reason why more and more mainland Chinese are choosing to spend their twoweek holiday in Bali during the New Year. During that period tourism is given a big boost with Chinese restaurants, cultural attractions and dive sites are crowded with Chinese tourists. The vast numbers of Chinese visitors seems not to have impacted nor conflicted with unique Chinese-Balinese traditions. Why? The tens of thousands of Chinese tourists are here for only 3-5 days while the Chinese culture has been ¿rmly rooted in Bali for more than a century. Chinese New Year is becoming more inÀuential in Bali. It’s an of¿cial public holiday (Imlek). School children in Bali get one day off, but kids in Chinese schools get 1-3 days off. In Jakarta,

Buddhist schools and schools with a majority of Chinese students get 1-2 weeks off. One week before Chinese New Year, Chinese-Indonesians usually go back to their hometowns or birthplaces to join in big family reunions. Particular rituals, ceremonies and family obligations adhered to by Chinese-Indonesians in this increasingly important religious holiday in Bali are quite distinct from New Year festivities held in other Chinese communities in Indonesia, in other countries and in mainland China. Some traditions are similar to those followed by Bali Hindus because many of Bali’s ethnic Chinese are also Bali Hindu. On the eve of the New Year, celebrants spend time at Chinese temples or have dinner with family and friends, while in China the night is given over to ONLY family and close friends. Unlike other social and community events, Chinese New Year is celebrated with one’s own because elaborate dinners are arranged and red envelopes ¿lled with cash are exchanged, both of which are costly. Distinctive Feasts and Treats The majority of Chinese-Balinese, who have been born in Bali and who have been deeply inÀuenced by Chinese culture, visit Chinese temples as a way to pay deference to their a n c e s t o r s , e v e n Traditional table display for Chinese New Year though many are Hindu or Christian. The worshippers who pray and attend the rituals at Chinese temples dress in Balinese ceremonial attire and headscarf instead of Chinese dress (cheongsam). It’s also common to see a mixture of the religious accouterments of the two cultures displayed at temple altars: typical Balinese canang, hanging Chinese lanterns and red umbrellas for protection. The food is laid out on the Àoor rather than on big tables, as is the custom in China. Food offerings in temples include Chinese oranges and t a n g e r i n e s , s y m b o l i z i n g prosperity and popular harbingers of good luck, are widely available during Chinese New Year. On Bali colorful mats are woven with typical Indonesian colors, while in China all ritual paraphernalia are red. Chinese-style Dragon dances are staged and the Balinese bamboo penjor poles sometimes decorate the entrances to Chinese temples. Foods and drinks prepared for this festive day are speci¿c only to Chinese-Indonesians living in Bali: bak mie (longevity noodles), zong zi (glutinous rice wrap) and zha ya (fried duck). No alcohol is served; the only beverages are sugar water or orange juice. Also distinctive to Chinese-Balinese celebrating New Year are dodol, glutinous cakes and cookies made with rice and brown sugar. This culinary tradition has been around for many generations in Bali’s Chinese community and preparation and presentation of the “cake basket” (Kue Keranjang) has become an annual ritual of welcoming in the N e w Ye a r. To s e e t h e s e ceremonial foods up close, a big Chinese New Year Food Festival will be held on Jan 31st from 10 pm to 5 pm at Trans Resort. The Bali Mandarin Center will be providing the lively entertainment. In Singaraja, the making of the baskets of baked goods has been a long tradition among Chinese families and local ethnic Balinese who produce and market the gifts. In China the equivalent gift basket was originally named Nian Gao (“Yearly Cake” or “Seasonal Cake”) because they are only made once a year. In East Java, the Kue Keranjang wrapper is made from bamboo with a little hole in the middle. In West Java, it’s named China Cake after its origin and producers.

The dodol-filled cake basket is similar to the Guangdong version. The dough for the dodol is made from sticky rice, which is then molded into a container. The sweet and sticky brown cakes are eaten with shredded coconut or fried with eggs. The preparation time it takes to produce dodol, so necessary to celebrate the New Year, is lengthy in comparison to the manufacture of other pastries. A wood ¿re is traditionally used as fuel in the baking process. It takes great skill to ensure that the dodol has just the right taste and will last weeks without the use of preservatives. Interestingly, certain rules and restrictions must be adhered to in the making of the cakes: the behavior of the preparers must be exemplary; a grieving family is forbidden to make a cake basket for three consecutive years after a loved one’s death; menstruating women are not allowed to participate. If these bans are ignored, it’s believed that the cake baskets will be “immature” and “broken.” In addition, the longevity noodles may not be broken when cooking, otherwise it’s bad luck. On New Year’s Day, participants should wear a red out¿t; red underwear will bring even more good luck. Temples: The Heart of Celebrations During the New Year, temples are at the very heart of the celebrations. Different temples hosting gods and goddesses serve different purposes – for justice, fertility, rain, love, curing diseases, business success, etc. Some days may be Pelinggih Ratu Subandar good or bad for rituals, weddings, raising pillars, breaking new ground, beginning a long journey, controlling pests, digging a well, installing a door, cleaning house, etc. During Chinese New Year, there’s free entrance to Vihara Dharmayana in Kuta, Vihara Satya Dharma in Benoa and Kongco Dwipayana in Suwung Kauh (two km east of Mal Bali Galleria) where Chinese and Balinese devotees burn incense, make offerings and display towering ¿gures of deities. Moon cakes, cookies (kue salju, lidah kucing, nastar, etc.) and dodol - required staples for offerings - are widely available. Prices of imported oranges, in great demand, soar to Rp40,000 or more per kilo. The Vihara Darmayana monastery on Jl. Blambangan in Kuta faithfully adheres to customs going back to its founding in 1876. Tan Hu Chin Jin, a dei¿ed ancestor, is worshiped alike by Balinese and ethnic Chinese wearing traditional Balinese attire called Madya. During the New Year the monastery is ¿lled to capacity with Chinese-Balinese and Bali Hindus. A pair of colorful ornamental penjor poles, which usually appear during Galungan festival, adorn both sides of the main entrance. In the courtyard are Àowers planted in leaf containers and typical Balinese gebogan and ngaturang offerings are placed before offerings. The Caow Eng Bio temple on the tip of Tanjung Benoa is dedicated to the God of the Sea. Worshippers of three religions - Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism – pay their respects to the gods of commerce at Tri Dharma temple in the waterfront area of Singaraja. At the Lie Gwan Kiong temple (founded in 1874), also in Singaraja, fortunes have been forecast to welcome the New Year over the past 137 years. For generations temple priest-geomancers here have practiced the ancient tradition of Si Ciam in which divine guidance is offered in business matters such as selling cloth, smartphone pulses, oil from the mapun fruit or whatever type of enterprise a person has taken up. Shortly after midnight, small bamboo sections containing wooden sticks are shaken. The throw of the dice determines the approval or disapproval of the temple’s gods and spurs one to action. As the old Chinese proverb goes, “Don’t stand by the water and long for ¿sh. Go home and weave a net.”

Occasional Articles From Our Readers

Denpasar Dokar After reading the story about 80 year old dokar driver I Nengah Purna who was trying to eke out a living with his humble dokar on Jl. Gajah Mada in downtown Denpasar, Australian teenager Samara Welbourne was spurred into action. A dokar driver since 1963 Nengah had seen his livelihood almost decimated with the recent advent of companies such as Go Jek, the cheap motorbike taxi service. From a high of around 10 passengers a day, dokars in Denpasar now struggle to get even 1 passenger. Most make less than 50,000rp ($5aus) a day. The 8 remaining drivers, all Balinese unlike many Kuta dokars who come from Java, are in their 80’s and with their demise the days of the dokar will end as there are no young people working in the industry & ready to take over the reins in Denpasar. Sam, a young entrepreneur who ran a fairy house birthday party business in Australia and is the published author of a childrens craft book How To Make Fairy Houses, did not want to see an elderly Balinese man who worked so hard and who cared so much for his horse, suffer. In Bali with her mum Cherrell, a volunteer with the Australian Volunteers for International Development (AVID) program funded by the Australian Government, Sam felt she had to

do something to assist Nengah and his horse. Not able to generate an income during her time in Bali she turned her efforts instead to using the magic of her fairy houses to help change the lives of others. During her last school holidays Sam approached local Sanur restaurant, The Glass House, and asked if they would support her efforts to raise money for the dokar and his horse. Supported by owner Elizabeth Travers, and helped by friend Jayden Ibrahim, Sam’s fairy house class raised 3.6 milion rp ($360 aus). Half, 1.8 million rp has been donated to Bali Animal Welfare Association,BAWA, Bali’s animal rescue organisation and half was to go to Nengah the dokar driver. But finding Nengah proved to be a challenge. A trip to the Denpasar market with BAWA on the weekend, where he plied his trade, failed to locate him. Not wanting to give up Sam again called on the assistance of BAWA to track him down. It transpired that Nengah and his horse were both sick and had not been able to work for some weeks. Meeting with BAWA staff this week, Sam travelled down narrow gangs, sought directions from local banjar head men, travelled across rough terrain and finally entered an overgrown path amongst the banana trees that lead to a tiny plot in downtown Denpasar where Nengahs horse was peacefullly grazing. With his time outdoors ending for the day Sam helped Nengah move his horse back to his pen, a tiny horse house

amongst the vegetable fields and banana trees that resembled of all things an enchanted fairy house one might stumble across in a forest. Seeing first hand that the horse was so well cared for & with BAWA’s approval Sam donated to Nengah the Rp. 1.8 million. The old man was close to tears as he accepted Sams money. “I think this is one of the best things I have ever done. To meet a person and to know that I have been able to make a real difference to his life and the life of his horse is something pretty special. It’s something I never expected when I first came to Bali, that my fairy houses could be used to make such a difference. I will never forget Nengah and his horse and I hope that I can get some of my horse loving friends in Australia to help the remaining 7 dokar drivers in Denpasar so their horses are looked after and they don’t have to struggle so much.” If like Sam, you would like to help Denpasar’s 8 remaining dokar drivers care for their horses, BAWA will be taking donations. To donate on line or for BAWA bank account details, please go to www.bawabali. com/donate-to-bawa/ You can also donate at BAWA shops at Sanur and in Ubud: www.bawabali.com/contact/find-us-in-bali/When you donate, please AWAYS SPECIFY “For Denpasar horses”. You can also contact Sam, through Sam’s mum Cherrell at cherrellinbali@gmail.com.

HECTOR’S Load of Pit Bull

Not a Good Idea

Bali’s attractions as a resort for western tourists (that distinction is becoming more and more important) have taken a hammering lately. It was interesting to see that this received notice in the Jakarta Post on Jan. 27. Or perhaps not a hammering: It might have been a whipping with a flip-flop, if we are to believe the preferred version of an instance of animal cruelty involving pit bulls being transported in inhumane conditions that was seen and videoed and photographed in the middle of Seminyak in Bali’s premier tourist precinct. The truck stopped and the driver got out and caused further distress to a caged dog that had panicked and had blood around its mouth. There are things that go on here that lie on the debit side of the excellence ledger, though this is apparently a continuing surprise to many people who prefer fiction or fairyland, or simply accept what they deem to be culturally inevitable. These debits are of no consequence either to those caught breaking the law or failing to enforce it, to people not doing their jobs or picking your pocket, the latter either literally or figuratively, or to louts of any class shouting gratuitously offensive go-home advice at outsiders. It’s their country, so the loudspeaker patois of popular nationalism says.

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who was deposed in a party room vote last September and who said then that he would consider his future, has now done this. He has decided to re-contest his Sydney parliamentary seat of Warringah at the national elections due later this year. He’s entitled to do so, of course. Almost anyone can stand for office in Australia, even certain classes of lunatics. It’s a fully functioning democracy, a fact that is of unquestionable benefit to Australia and its neighbours. But in considering his future, Abbott appears to have overlooked a number of things. He is not unintelligent, so unless hubris has informed more of his judgment on his future than is wise, he will be aware that staying around will destabilize his party.

Bali is unique, and it’s a great place to live. But sometimes, you know, you see things that warrant comment that won’t rate on the preferred Bali APP Scale (APP = Automatic Paeans of Praise). On Mon. Jan. 18, the Bali Animal Welfare Association posted a report from one of many witnesses to the scenes of Friday night. There were photos with it. These went up on BAWA’s English language and Bahasa Indonesia Facebook pages. There was an immediate outcry. The report went even more viral on BAWA’s Indonesian page than it did on the English one. Someone in the Bali bureaucracy who is capable of lateral thought (yes, we know) should have a think about that. They already know – although of course they won’t concede this publicly – that a lot of Balinese people are angry about the cruel, indiscriminate and counter-productive killing of dogs including vaccinated animals as a pathetic non-response to the rabies outbreak, now in its ninth year because the authorities royally messed up. Pit Bulls are used for dog fighting, a popular and lucrative illegal betting industry which as well as breaking national laws that prohibit all gambling also contravene the (disgracefully inadequate) national animal cruelty laws. Not every pit bull is kept for this purpose. And we’re told that the ones in the Seminyak incident hadn’t been at a fight. They’d been somewhere preparing for a non-dog-fighting event to take place at a later date. Etc. Blah. On Wed. Jan. 20 BAWA received visits from delegations that repeated previous advice that the event had nothing to do with dog fighting. It’s just unfortunate, apparently, that the weigh-in and the inhumane transport conditions so upset the dogs that the truck driver felt it necessary to stop and remonstrate with one of them in a rather physical fashion. Later that day BAWA posted something on its Facebook that it called “Update on Monday’s Pit Bull Post”. The original post disappeared, swept under the carpet by someone or other. The Bully a Bule SOP had kicked in. It is applied every time a foreigner sees something offensive and dares to say so. Buckets of whitewash are essential if you’re planning a snow job.

Wrap it Up Plastic is not fantastic, as everyone should know by now, especially in Bali where it litters the landscape – and will do so for ages, since it is practically non-degradable – and continues to be used for wrapping throwaway rubbish. In the practice of this island, plastic then handily stores whatever it contains for foraging dogs and vermin, and as blockage material in the rivers and streams into which they are dumped from which in due course a deluge will release them into the ocean where their remains kill precious marine life or wash up on beaches, bothering tourists. There was a TED Talk in Bali on Jan. 30, about plastic waste that broke new ground because it featured Indonesian teenagers talking about getting rid of non-biodegradable products. Proper environmental care is a matter of education, like many things. Activist teens such as Bye Bye Plastic Bags co-founder, Isabel, who features in the TED Talk show, are a real bonus in that situation. They have peer appeal, for one thing, and for another will carry their message forward into their adult lives and really make a difference. Online Rotary Club member Clare McAlaney kept us up to speed with the event.

His successor, Malcolm Turnbull, is a social liberal and rather more inclined to take the view that this is the Twenty-first Century. Abbott should be aware that the fossil energy resource policies he likes to boost might (that’s debatable) be profitable in the short term but are not economically, scientifically, environmentally or socially sustainable in the long term. He should have noticed, too, that many people who customarily vote for his Liberal party do not support his regressively conservative social positions. Australian secular, democratic politics occupies the middle ground and it is from there that governments are formed. Abbott is 58, still a youngish man in an Australian context. He has many years left in which to perform public service if that is his desire, or to do something else if that suits him better. It would be more productive of him to reassess his demerits rather than rely on the supposed upsides he and his factional friends promote. He was gauche in office as prime minister. He is personable as an individual, as is his similarly demagogue-dogmatist Labor predecessor Kevin Rudd. He might be better writing dissertations.

Eastern philosophies have had more influence on those of the west than many suppose. This enlightenment is not merely a product of easy travel in the last half century and the invasion of other peoples’ thinking spaces that was its natural corollary. It is a function of the symbiosis of humanity, of the free flow of ideas and inspiration that has always taken place. This process is quicker nowadays and no longer something reserved for the educated elite or politically well placed. This Diary is being written in Ubud, local seat of the modern fad for worshipping self-selected gurus. Ubud is more than that, of course, and it seems appropriate to mention the 2016 Ubud Writers and Readers Festival as a forthcoming attraction toute force. The dates have just been announced: Oct. 28-Nov. 1. Put those in your diaries. The theme this year is Tat Tvam Asi, the Sixth Century Hindu philosophy that says in basic shorthand, “I am you, you are me.” As Janet DeNeefe noted in her latest UWRF update, the Roman playwright Terrance once wrote, “If I am human, then nothing human is alien to me.” He was on the money. The power of words is inestimable. That’s why dictators burn books and knuckleheads ban publications. Words make it possible for each of us to construct our own - possibly parallel - existence. They are the ultimate freedom.

Here’s Cheers Happy New Year, Chinese style! As noted previously, the Diary is looking forward to the Year of the Monkey, which starts on Feb. 8 and ushers in 12 months of special time for those of us fortunate enough to be Monkeys ourselves. It only happens every 12 years, so forgive any out of left field ambient frivolity between now and early in 2017. It’s also Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14, though this of course happens every year. It’s a great time for red roses and chocolates, and for profit, for those who can spin some, business off St. Val’s feast day. Valentine was a martyred Third Century Roman priest who from the Fourteenth Century became associated with the European tradition of courtly love. That’s the no-nooky, perfumed token variety.

BA Feature Article

Cheat Eats Indonesia - Part One By Aisyah Llewellyn My friend from Sumatra tells a story of moving to Australia in the 1970s. There were few Asian restaurants and hardly any Asian shops. At night, he would call his mother back in Bukit Lawang, taking detailed notes as she patiently explained how to cook the dishes he grew up eating. Unable to purchase the required ingredients, he went to the local botanical gardens, grabbing bunches of lemongrass and lime leaves and stuf¿ng them down his jacket to avoid detection from the rotating security guards.

sold everywhere, and can be used in place of lentils or other pulses in a variety of dishes. I like to soak them overnight then boil them with cumin, coriander powder and mustard seeds. Add shallots, coconut milk, and as many green chillies as you can handle, and enjoy a bowl of homemade spiced dhal, the ultimate comfort food on a rainy day spent sitting in a curry house in London enjoying the Àock wallpaper. Those were the days.

It is a story that speaks to me absolutely. A story of home and of the power of the food of our childhood. And a reminder that for all we may crave the excitement of the exotic, at times we also just want the comfort of the familiar.

so, considering they are the just base products with added water and salt. Buy a punnet of tomatoes for cheap instead and leave them out for a day or two so that they are plump and squishy and then put them in a pan and just cover with water. Boil them until they collapse and then use a fork or a potato masher and just go nuts. You now have tinned tomatoes without the tin and the price tag, and you can add any Àavourings to them that you want without any of the nasties. Garlic, herbs or black pepper are all good choices if you are feeling Àash. Then just put the pulped tomatoes in a sealable jar in the fridge and use as you would a tin of chopped tomatoes in pasta dishes and sauces. Kidney beans are also cheap in Indonesia if you buy them dried in a packet versus hydrated in a can and soak overnight to soften them before boiling. Add them to chilli or blend them with tofu, lime and garlic and enjoy a creamy and nutritious hummus at a quarter of the price it would cost you to buy a small tub (if you can ¿nd one).

I love Indonesian food, a wholly underrated and unappreciated cuisine on the world food scene, and I eat it in some form every day, but after a while even I want to eat Western food. The kind of dishes my mother used to make.

Baking me crazy: But if you want Western food in Indonesia the choices can be limited. You can eat in a restaurant which will often be expensive and and not very good, or you can cook it yourself. But even that is fraught with dif¿culties. It can be hard to get the ingredients you need, and, if you can, they will almost always be extortionate. But, with a little ingenuity and imagination, you can combine the best of both worlds, using local produce to recreate the Àavours of home. Here’s how... Non-dairy queen: Of all the food groups most dif¿cult to source and replicate in Indonesia is dairy products, which is puzzling considering the presence of large herds of milk producing cows wandering all over the place. Where does the milk go? Why no cheese? Cream tea anyone?

As an avid baker, the lack of milk, cream, and butter at reasonable prices can be a challenge, but help is not far away in the form of cloudlike pillows of tofu. I discovered this, quite by accident, when trying to make a smoothie using tofu and not adding enough water to the blender. Now I know that a few spoonfuls of water whipped together with tofu yields the most divine texture akin to whipped cream, but slightly denser, richer and even more decadent. Beat the tofu in a blender or by hand using a whisk and you will have a thick, silky base to add Àavourings to and use accordingly. One of my favourites is to add icing sugar to the mixture and then use it as frosting for a cake. I promise you, no one will ever know you used tofu.

You can also soak then boil mung beans with chicken or beef stock and add them to a shepard’s pie, or even layer them into a vegetable lasagne. And if you don’t fancy them whole then you can boil them and blend them up in a pasta sauce with lots of other tasty vegetables and plenty of salt and pepper. Happy Cows: As a mother on a budget I am always looking for ways to bulk up dishes to reduce the cost and boost the nutritional value. As with the aforementioned lentils, meat is surprisingly expensive if you buy it in a supermarket in Indonesia. In terms of meat substitutes however, you are in luck, and you won’t even have to resort to Western horrors such as Quorn which no person ever has truthfully enjoyed. Instead, reach for a package of tempeh, daintily enveloped in a banana leaf, and appreciate the fact that half the joy of of cooking tempe is unwrapping that slightly furry little nugget of fermented soybeans. Fermented anything, especially soy products, may not sound joyous, but tempeh is delicious given the right treatment. Shallow fried, it takes on a delicious nutty taste, after which you can cube it and sprinkle it on a Caesar salad instead of bacon. Another good option is to add it to stews, curries, or chilli, either in place of or in addition to meat. A good trick, instead of cubing the tempeh as above is to put it in a blender and pulse it (emphasis on pulse, otherwise you will end up with a kind of tempeh slurry which you will have to bin) until it breaks down slightly and resembles ground beef. Then use it as you would ground beef. I love tempeh because as a con¿rmed carnovire and extremely reluctant vegetarian, it absorbs the Àavours of whatever is it cooked with, and in a stew will become meaty and juicy and could almost be mistaken for the meat itself. Try it- it’s delicious and good for you.

I like a good hunk of bread, but the good stuff is pricey and in all honesty not really that good. Or you could eat the cheap stuff, but you would probably be better off eating the packet it comes in in terms of nutritional value. Don’t go there, just make your own. You don’t even need an oven. Buy a bag of Àour (which is ridiculously economical) and put half of it in a bowl. Add a teaspoon of oil and then slowly add water until it comes together in a ball. Knead it with your hands on a Àoured surface until it feels springy then cover it and leave it to rest for 15 minutes. Divide it into small balls and roll each one out (use a bottle if you don’t have a rolling pin) and then dry fry them in a blisteringly hot pan until bubbles appear. Flip over and Ày on the other side. Congratulations, you just made Àatbreads.

Use these to make wraps (fried tempeh, grated carrot and hummus make an excellent ¿lling) or as pizza bases, which are a big hit with small kids who will enjoy spreading them with the tomatoes you made above, and decorating them with vegetables. This is a good one for fussy eaters, as rare is the child who won’t eat a pizza they designed themselves with a smiley face made out of broccoli and shredded blanched purple cabbage. So, there you have it- a rundown of my favourite cheap eats in Indonesia, so that you can cook some of the things you remember from the days of yore (even if it is a curry), while supporting and enjoying local produce at the same time.

Another trick is to add the juice of two limes and a pinch of salt, after which you will have a dead ringer for sour cream, without the expensive price tag for a small tub. Smother it on whatever you desire.

It’s easy when you know how..and you won’t have to go near a botanical garden. In a future issue - full recipes using some of the cheat eats above, and some new tips to whet your appetite.

Get your pulses racing: Can the cans: I love to eat pulses, with lentils being a particular favourite and a budget staple in the U.K which are used either on their own or with other ingredients to bulk up a dish and to add nutrients. But lentils are expensive in Indonesia and not easily sourced. No problem- use mung beans instead. Mung beans or ‘kacang hijau’ may not have a very sexy or appetising name, but they are cheap, nutritious, and

There are lots of other ingredients in Indonesia that can tempt you pay more for a base product which would be hopelessly cheap back at home just because it seems that there are no other alternatives. Canned goods are a good example, particularly canned tomatoes and kidney beans. Both of these are expensive in Indonesia and puzzlingly

Computer & Internet SOCIAL MEDIA BYTES BY : LIZ AFAIK A Basic Social Media Marketing Library Most of the skills and strategies that I use in social media and social media marketing, I learned from books. I’ll highlight the books that worked best for me - and that I still dip into for a refresher when I’m feeling that I’ve run out of ideas. You can usually ¿nd or order these books here in Bali at Periplus or Gramedia. I’ve also come across several of them second-hand at Ganesha Books. 30 Days to Social Media Success by Gail Z. Martin This book was published in 2010, and is a little of out date (there’s no mention of Google+, for example), but still useful. The author covers many topics and sites brieÀy, but still provides a lot of useful information packed into the short chapters, mostly in dot points. I found Martin’s advice on creating a business plan ¿rst and then using that plan to drive marketing, including social media marketing, very helpful to help uncover the ‘story’ that a business or NGO is trying to share.Topics covered include: developing a business plan, creating an action plan, ¿nding your ‘real story and voice’, creating a social media marketing plan, how to approach and use forums and online chats to build your business, as well as chapters on speci¿c social media platforms. Guerilla Social Media Marketing: 100+ Weapons to Grow Your Online InÀuence, Attract Customers and Drive Pro¿ts By Jay Conrad Levinson and Shane Gibson This book is by the pair of authors who write the best-selling “Guerilla Marketing” series, including Guerilla Marketing for Non Pro¿ts (which I’ve also read and used successfully in not-for-pro¿t marketing.) The two marketers created the term “guerilla marketing” in 1984 - long before the internet - to ‘help creative, entrepreneurial individuals compete with big companies and market leaders.’ The pair describe their strategies as ‘using creativity, innovation, community and relationships instead of big budgets to achieve marketing objectives.” As the world, and marketing, moved online, so did the famous Guerilla franchise. Topics covered in this book include: the Social Media Arsenal, how to measure your ROI (Return on Investment), building a Guerilla Marketer brand, how to identify and target the best markets, how to network with other people in the same situation and how to build a ‘media attack’ plan. The Power Formula for Linked In Success By Wayne Breitbarth Breitbarth never set out to write a book about Linked In. He was originally a small business owner - who sold of¿ce furniture - seeking to expand his market. He decided to try building his network on Linked In order to attract new customers and new business. As he grew to understand how Linked In work, he began to offer advice online in groups, and then set up training classes for other professionals, on how to best use Linked In to drive business and build an effective network.

became an increasing popular trainer, and in-demand speaker, on the topic of Linked In, he decided to write a book, encapsulating everything he had learned about the networking site. While a few of his tricks and strategies are outdated, after recent Linked In updates, most of the information in the book is still good, solid advice. Topics covered include: how to create an appealing pro¿le and use keywords, how to use Linked In’s applications and tools, how to build your network on the site and how to use Groups to achieve expert status. Breitbarth includes a Six-Week Action Plan to build a successful pro¿le. I built my ¿rst Linked In pro¿le using this book and then used that pro¿le to successfully build a network of over 500 people. I also found my ¿rst remote job through Linked In, after someone seeking a writer read my pro¿le. Twitter Power 3.0: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time by Joel Comm and Dave Taylor This book focuses exclusively on Twitter. I believe its valuable to have a reference book like this as Twitter is a very challenging tool to use for business, given its restrictions (140 characters, etc.) but can be rewarding to use. Many people treat Twitter as a reduced version of Facebook, but this book shows that Twitter requires its own unique approach and can be used to successfully build business and reach a wider market. The authors clearly explain “how Twitter differs from other social media platforms, how to build a savvy Twitter strategy as part of a broader social media plan, how to create viral content that effortlessly spreads your message and gains you huge numbers of followers and which metrics matter, and how to measure and track them.”

The Zen of Social Media Marketing: An Easier Way to Build Credibility, Generate Buzz and Increase Revenue By Shama Hyder Kabani Kabani focuses mainly on creating appealing website and blogs, how to use SEO (search engine optimization) and on using social media to drive traf¿c to these sites. She starts the book with a good overview of the basics of online marketing and what you need to know about how and why it works.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia by Bill Dalton

Women, the Recited Qur’an, and Islamic Music in Indonesia by Anne Rasmussen

Women, the Recited Qur’an, and Islamic Music in Indonesia is an intimate, highly focused study written by an accomplished ethnomusicologist who takes readers into an interesting and seldom discussed topic.

that women have in the country’s Islamic ritual culture that offer women in Indonesia greater opportunities to become socially active in ritual and civic musical events and receptions.

The religious musical practices of Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim population, are a rich and seriously understudied and under appreciated art form, a distinctive cultural heritage that is little known outside of S. E. Asia and even among fellow believers around the Muslim world.

One of the themes that stays with you - repeated constantly throughout the book - is the obvious high level of tolerance that Indonesia’s “traditional” Muslims have towards musical practice, which stands in sharp contrast to the “modernists” who are more intolerant. This assertion overturns the old assumption that many hold towards the difference between traditional and modern inÀuences. Some points to consider:

Enthusiastically embraced by a broad cross-section of the population, Indonesia hosts a breathtaking variety of Islamic musical genres that stems from the creative diversity of its 300 ethnic groups dispersed over a vast geographic expanse of 6000 inhabited islands, each with its own dialect and localized cultural expression of Islam. Author Anne Rasmussen was first exposed to Islamic musical expression during her ethnographic research of the Arab American community in Dearborn, Michigan. She was further inspired by the only other volume written on the subject, the landmark The Art of Reciting the Qur’an by Kristina Nelson (American University in Cairo Press 2001), which she consulted regularly and used as a springboard for this study when she took up residence in Jakarta as a Fulbright scholar in 1996. Rasmussen’s intention was to compare the practice of recitation in Indonesia with that of Egypt that is described so beautifully in the model work by Nelson. I t ’s s u r p r i s i n g t h a t w i t h i n t h e well-established patriarchy of Indonesian society, it is women who most often perform the extraordinary diversity of Arab-inÀuenced Islamic musical styles. Indonesia’s professional female Qur’anic reciters, teachers, and spiritual media superstars are not a demure, segregated group hidden behind a black cloak but ardent and effective leaders in the nation’s religious and community life. This book ably demonstrates that Islam is just as relevant in women’s’ everyday lives as it is for men. From the very moment in 1989 when the author stepped out onto her balcony of the high-rise Jakarta Hilton and ¿rst heard the haunting call to prayer rising up from neighboring kampong and then explored the tiny alleyways and poked her head inside small musholla of chanting women, Islamic singing and recitation has captivated this writer. Based on unique, revealing and rigorous self-reÀective ethnographic research beginning at the end of Suharto’s “New Order” and continuing into the era of Reformasi, her survey into the heart of the Àourishing role that music plays in the expression of religious nationalism is exhaustively detailed. Just have a look at the “Site of the Author’s Research” map, the extensive chapter notes, the bibliography and multi-entry index to appreciate the breadth and scope of Rasmussen’s more than two years of research and on-the-ground ¿eldwork in Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan. A celebrity in her own right, the writer’s academic credentials, her ability as a musician and her study of Arabic music and language opened many doors that allowed her to steep herself in the traditional religious musical traditions of Indonesia. She toured with musical ensembles, was interviewed on radio programs, invited to lecture at Islamic boarding schools, attended spontaneous rehearsals, participated in shared vocal performances either as a soloist, singing or playing the ‘ud (an Arab pear-shaped fretless lute) or in collaboration with professional and amateur reciters. These gatherings often amount to highly charged jam sessions, a seamless Àow from recitation to singing to music and back again, sometimes accompanied by a generous buffet dinner. In her resolute exploration of public devotional performances – what she calls “soundscapes” - of women reciting the divine texts, Rasmussen upsets preconceptions about Muslim music and reveals the huge and crucial role

- To many Indonesians, the modern, stripped-down version of Islam goes too far in the direction of sterilization and Arabization that lobotomizes the unique cultural personality of Indonesian-style Islam that has traditionally allowed women a legitimate and rightful place in religious activity. - Indonesians’ soft interpretation of Islam is just as legitimate as how the religion is observed in the Middle East. The mystical Indonesian approach stands apart from the dogmatic varieties in its veneration of the Wali Songo saints, visitation of graves, preparation of offerings, sharing of selametan ritual meals and the lovely recitation of Qur’anic verses in healing, collective chanting and ceremonies surrounding birth, death and times of transition. - The nyai, the wife of the leader (kyai) of pesantren (boarding school), can be a ¿gure of great prestige who may serve as teacher, religious authority, moral example and parental protector for hundreds of female student-residents (santri).

*IPQAH (Association of Male and Female Reciters and Memorizers of the Qur’an) represents the interests of Indonesian reciters. Ilmu al-Qur’an in Ciputatu in South Jakarta is a women’s college devoted exclusively to Indonesian-style Qur’anic studies and recitals. - Competitions in Qur’anic recitations are held in every corner of Indonesian society from small corner mosques to government ministries and national TV stations in which the melodious prayer’s spirituality, intent and sincerity is evaluated as if the chant were an aria performed by hopefuls auditioning for a role in a production of the Metropolitan Opera. This warm, adoring and highly original book is a classic study of the world of Islamic performances and other forms of musical piety in Indonesia. But the book’s scope far exceeds that speci¿c focus. The writing displays a keen sense of the country’s political and economic realities as well as a deep respect for and understanding of its social institutions. C/E/G-3 Feb. 16

Women, the Recited Qur’an, and Islamic Music in Indonesia is an authoritative, groundbreaking contribution welcomed by ethnomusicologists, anthropologists, folklorists, linguists and religious scholars and students in contemporary Indonesia, as well as anyone who wishes to learn more about the rich world of ritual performances and religious expression in perhaps the most complex and multicultural of societies.

Say What? C/E/G-28 Oct. 15

Question: I have never been in a relationship; yet, somehow, I often wind up being the person others turn to when they are going through a break-up. Just today, a friend I have known for a couple of months told me that her boyfriend had unexpectedly broken up with her. I was at a complete loss for what to say and eventually muttered something about letting me know if she ever wants to go out for a meal sometime; I find keeping busy helps. Beyond that, I am not sure how to handle the situation should she want to go. I don’t generally hug people although this feels like a situation in which a hug would be appropriate. My next door neighbor recently broke up with her boyfriend and we never spoke about it although I made sure to be around and to make myself available for idle chat; so she didn’t feel so all alone. As life goes on, I can only imagine that I will be in this situation again. What is your advice on how to handle other people’s problems? Dr. ZZ: : Your instincts to make yourself available and to ask your friends to do things with you are spot on. The best you can do when someone is sad is to ask them if they want to talk about it or do something to take their mind off it; then be ready to roll either way. What you don’t want to do with people who are grieving is discredit their experience by telling them that it’s okay, that breaking up with this person was really a good thing, that they’ll be better off without them, etc. Even doomed, dysfunctional relationships require a period of grieving when they end. Your friends may need to tell you all the terrible things about their ex or all the great things they’re going to miss. Invite it, ask about it, honor it, and listen. It’s that simple, and you sound like a born natural. Question: I have been married to my husband for just under a year now, and we’re still delightfully in love. We’ve worked hard to create a mutually supportive relationship, to communicate well, and to work as a team whenever possible. Overall, that works great, but there is one problem: I’m way more verbal than he is. Don’t get me wrong: he’s smart and articulate and more than willing to stand by his strongly-held convictions. But, for various reasons, when we’re talking through life decisions, I generally think things through in more depth than he does. I try to draw out his thoughts and opinions, and he tries to give them. But generally, I still manage to do 80% of the talking. Not surprisingly, our life decisions almost always end up being what I think they should be. So far, that has worked out pretty well, but it doesn’t seem entirely healthy that I almost always get my way because I have more opinions. It’s not that I steamroll him or make demands; it’s that I’ve

usually thought things out in greater depth and generally make a stronger case than he, and he almost always comes to agree with me. I don’t know how to do it differently, and I would like to communicate in a way that allows for more balanced end results. We’ll both be reading your response as we’re interested in any advice you may have to offer. Thank you for your time! Dr. ZZ: Congratulations on an extremely awesome relationship! Since the two of you are already doing what works for you as a decision-making team, the short answer is: keep up the good work. Every one of us has been sold a narrative about what a good relationship looks like. On one end of the spectrum we hear about “traditional” relationships, in which the husband makes all the major decisions, or perhaps the wife lets him think he is while she lovingly manipulates him. On the other hand, we are told of the “hive mind,” in which two (or more) individuals in a relationship are equal, do everything equally, and decide everything together with full attention to each person’s needs and feelings. While the later is closer to what you seem to want, bear in mind that you are not a hive mind. The majority of relationships fall somewhere between these two sample opposites. One person in the relationship is often the talker while the other is more of the silent thinker. Each is apt to care more about certain subjects than the other, and that person is likely to take the lead when dealing with that subject.

C/E/I-17 Sept 14

If what you want is for your husband to process his thoughts aloud, so that you can feel as if you understand his thought process, then go ahead and ask him for that. He may, however, be an internal processor who prefers to respond in the way that feels most comfortable to him. If so, then it’s up to you to trust that his response is true, and that he will tell you when he disagrees. Somewhere along the line, chances are the two of you will find at least one subject about which he will be in strong opposition to your opinion. Until then, as long as your discussions aren’t deal breakers, your differences can help make you stronger. If you never find a subject on which you disagree, that too doesn’t mean your love is less. You are among the fortunate and are in accord. Your love is short on explosions and long on quality time. Keep communicating and trusting what love gives you. That’s all there is.

Restaurant Review

By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com

Fine Dining, French Style! It is a case of re-visiting the past. Back when exceptional dinners were often completed with glasses of fine cognac, a Cuban cigar in hand. Dark wooden floor & tables, banquettes, chandeliers and lace curtains, you may think you are in France or the owner’s home of Belgium. Restaurateur Chris Janssens has been running Le Quartier in Jakarta now for a number of years, earning a host of rave reviews, and awards. He has now brought this concept to Bali, and Sanur. The food served is a mix of the classic French, combined with a variety of fresh pasta, salads and interesting, more modern, entrees. On arrival you are served Gougeres, an intriguing ‘bread’ that is actually a cheese puff that has been baked with thyme and black pepper. The first one is complimentary, it is very easy to order extras, and hard to resist. Top of the menu is a classic dish from Belgium, rarely seen in Bali, Asperges Flamande, poached white asparagus, served with a buttered boiled egg and parsley sauce [pictured]. Mussels are also very popular in Belgium, where some famous restaurants serve only that, done many different ways. Here there are three options, all of which use imported black shell mussels [not those awful green lip ones]; Moules Mariniere [cooked in white wine with celery, onions, parsley and herbs], Provencale [tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and herbs], and Poulette [mushrooms, onions and herbs in a cream sauce].

[camembert, Danish blue, marinated feta, cumin gouda and parmesan] or one containing Jamon Serrano Cecina Pablo [50gms thereof with vanilla roasted pineapple, chilli and Parmesan shavings]. There is also a Plateau de Charcuterie et Fromage, combining a selection of both cold cuts and cheeses. You do not normally expect to find pasta, pizza and risotto in a French restaurant, so there must be a good reason for it to be here. The reason is very simple, it is because it is very good. The Pizza can be White Ham & Eggplant Caviar, with truffle oil, mushrooms, leaf spinach, egg and pine nuts. Perfect pasta is the Angel Hair Alio Oglio, with semi-dried tomatoes, basil, pine nuts and chilli. However it is the Risotto that really stands out! It can be with Porcini Mushrooms [zucchini, thyme and the jus of roasted vegetables] or the Spanish Saffron [white wine, butter and parmesan]. Main courses and there are more classic French dishes. Confit is the result of very slow cooking, in oil or fat, at low temperatures. For poultry it is usually the leg that is done this way, but any food can be. Here they offer the classic Duck Leg [sautéed French beans, mushrooms, gizzards and honey mustard] or Chicken Leg [with warm flageolet bean salad, small cubes of chorizo and garlic crumbs, the chicken leg cooked in olive oil]. An unusual confit is their Lamb Shank, cooked in olive oil with roasted vegetables, herbs and rosemary jus. What could be more French than Coq au Vin, chicken braised in red wine, with mushrooms, bacon landons and cipollini onions. Or you can order a classic Steak Tartare. That Marseilles special of Bouillabaisse contains rock fish, scallops, prawns, squid, mussels, clams in that traditional Mediterranean sauce, rouille. Often termed a soup this one is thick enough to be called a stew.

Overall

: Fine dining French, with all the trimmings.

Les Petits Salades is an excellent starter. A long plate of five different small salads with contrasting tastes. Fennel Escarbeche [fennel with carrots and Spanish onion], Marinated Artichokes [olive oil and herbs], Roasted Beetroot [feta cheese and a walnut crumble], Baked Assorted Olives [roasted garlic and charred lemon] and Smokey Eggplant Caviar [bell peppers, pine nuts and balsamic]. The varying tastes tease the palate and refresh. All the individual salads can be ordered separately but I enjoyed this combined plate, small samples of each.

A wood-fired grill is the centre piece of the kitchen where a variety of seafood and meats are prepared. AUSKOBE is certified wagyu beef, reared in Australia. This is the only beef served here, rib-eye, tenderloin or at the top of the list 500gm of Black Angus Entrecote, a dish that is for two persons. There are many seafood options from the grill as well; barramundi, tiger prawns, Norwegian salmon and rock lobster. A monster Seafood Platter of salmon, prawns, tuna, barramundi and calamari, in lemon butter can be prepared for a minimum of two persons.

A French restaurant must have an Onion Soup, here it is the thick version with country style bread croutons and much cheese, almost a meal.

As it is still early days for this fine dining restaurant there are a few intended menu items still be added, foie gras and fresh oysters, coming soon. Desserts, you can almost guess the menu without looking! Crème Brulee, Profitteroles, Tarte Tatin and Coupe Dame Blanche, they are all here. No problems satisfying anyone’s sweet tooth.

Whilst most of the food is unmistakably French, the wine list is very international with a carefully selected collection. The service is friendly and quite knowledgeable for such a new restaurant.

Reviews that appear in Bali Advertiser are based on actual visits to the establishments listed, without the knowledge of the restaurants, and are not paid for by the individual restaurants.

Escargots are on the menu, as you would expect. The snails are done ‘Bon Vivant’ style, baked with garlic, mushroom, smoked duck breast and spinach. The Nicoise Salad features tuna tartar with marinated artichokes and peppers in a lemon rind dressing. I thought that the Pan Seared Crab Cakes were exceptional. Mounds of fresh crab meat formed into a soft patty, the ‘spicy mayonnaise’ accompaniment containing an unexpected, but welcome, kick from the mix of garlic and cayenne pepper. Charcuterie & Fromage is a section of the menu for the foodies; plates of assorted cold cuts [jamon Serrano, white ham, dry chorizo, black pudding, salami and duck rillettes], or cheeses

Le Bon Vivant adds a quality option to Bali’s dining scene. It is a French restaurant that also looks like a French restaurant. Close you eyes and you are in Paris. Very fine dining, maybe a bit old fashioned, but I like it!

Opinions expressed here are those of Gerry Williams and not necessarily those of Bali Advertiser. Gerry Williams attempts to write from a ‘typical’ diner’s perspective and, whilst quality of food is the most important criteria overall, value for money is the real measuring stick.

Ubud Writers & Readers Festival announces return for 2016, celebrating the theme ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ or ‘I am you, you are me’ After celebrating its most ambitious and well-attended event in November last year, the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF) has announced its return to Bali’s cultural capital from 26 – 30 October, 2016. Centring on the theme Tat Tvam Asi, a Sanskrit phrase translated in Bali as ‘I am you, you are me,’ the Festival’s ¿ve-day program of panel sessions, literary lunches, hands-on workshops, food tours, poetry slams, night parties and more will focus on dissolving the social, cultural, political and geographical barriers that divide us. “Tat Tvam Asi is a bold recognition that in our purest state, all humans are identical and equal kindred spirits,” explains Founder & Director of the UWRF, Janet DeNeefe. “If our souls are identical, then to hurt one another is to ultimately hurt ourselves.” “This is a powerful ideology that underpins the collective identity of the Indonesian archipelago – uniting people from incredibly diverse religious, ethnic, cultural and historical backgrounds to share common respect and understanding,” she said.

The concept of Tat Tvam Asi has been prominent in literary and artistic expression for thousands of years, encapsulated as early as 150BC by Roman playwright Terrance, who mused, “If I am human, then nothing human is alien to me.” It has since been explored in various forms, not just as a thematic undertone of creative expression but through the very power of the arts itself; to communicate and empathise with the most common of human needs and aspirations. “Some of the world’s most powerful works of literature are those that connect us with people, places or things of which we know so little,” said DeNeefe. “The power of these works is that they enable us to understand the lives of others and recognise our common humanity.” “Last year bringing together more than 165 authors from 25 countries across the globe, the Festival prides itself in being a global platform to celebrate big ideas and extraordinary stories. In many ways, the Festival has encompassed the concept of Tat Tvam Asi since it ¿rst began thirteen years ago.”

UBUD NEWS FEEL THE SPIRIT SHIFT?

I’m very excited to tell you that BaliSpirit Festival has found a new home for March 2016 and beyond. Not much time to create their magical spaces for yoga, dance and world music, but de¿nitely within the capabilities of that ever-evolving, committed and creative team. I was fortunate enough to be asked to help put the ¿rst BSF together in 2008. F o u n d e r s R o b We b e r, Meghan Pappenheim and Kadek Gunarta had only the bubbling, nebulous concept in their minds … “Why don’t we combine a yoga event and a world musical festival?” and a few con¿rmed yogis and musicians, with less than three months to go. So be absolutely sure that this year, from March 29 to April 3, you’ll experience yet another unique event - I know that sounds like a cliché, but go along and you’ll see I’m right.

IF YOU MUST WORK? The new festival grounds will be in and around the Bhanuswari Resort & Spa on Jl. Tengkulak, to the south east of Ubud; it’s actually closer than to Ubud than the original venue. The BSF team is working very hard to prepare everything; at the moment there are rivers and rice-¿elds so it’s quiet, lush and beautiful, and of course it will remain so after the festival is over. http://www.balispiritfestival.com/ NATURAL MEDICINE COURSE What a great idea! You are visiting (or living in) this little haven of alternative healing, and here’s a chance to learn how to make your own healing products. Angelo’s Store (there’s one on Jl Raya Ubud, but you want the Jl Sugriwa store) hosts a practical 2 ½ workshop session, where you’ll learn how to make healing drinks, massage oils, hair treatment, body scrubs and face masks. Okay, so you are not going to learn everything in one day, but you will certainly be able to recreate that first lesson in your own home from your recipe booklet. And you can also purchase some of Angelo’s home made, well-priced products, to inspire you to learn more. The workshop includes tea and a snack, practical, hands-on experience, take away recipes, a massage and consult from their resident healer. Good value at $25. Bookings and inquiries to M: 0857 3912 1017. W: www. angelostoreubud.com. Or visit Jl. Sugriwa No.10. BALI SPOTLIGHTS CAPOEIRA Here’s some advance notice, for those of you who love the martial arts/ dance/ body movement form of capoeira. I ¿nd it a beautiful “movement meditation” and dance all rolled into one, and I love watching people put aside their ego and take part in the dance of it, so I’d recommend you to have a look! For the second year in a row, Bali will host a ten-day feast of competition, display sessions and classes from international group Capoeira Me Leva, featuring one of the masters of the discipline, Mestra Acordeon.

Truly, some of us have to ¿nd a place to focus on work, either here or by Internet back in that other part of the world that provides our income. For me, it was a very dif¿cult transition, from visiting my favourite place, to learning how to block out distractions and do some work, once I “made the move”. So The Outpost – Ubud’s newest communal workspace, tucked away in Nyuh Kuning is a great place to be productive, with comfortable chairs, spacious tables, and a tranquil garden for a creative. Starting February you can also book group of¿ces. And for those who are only in Ubud for a while, there’s a very comfortable at hotel on site, plus an on-staff masseur, two pools and a riverside café. If you need an inspiration top-up, just sign in for the regular brown paper lunch sessions, where some of Bali’s entrepreneurs share their perspective on success. The Outpost is at Bali Spirit Hotel, Jalan Raya Nyuh Kuning. P: +62 361 908 0584. E: info@outpost-asia.com. Hours: 8am-8pm Monday to Saturday, and 24 hours by previous appointment (soon 24 /7).

KUL KUL FARM Bringing in experts to their small farm to teach and share their expertise in regenerative agriculture, two big dreamers have created a very special learning space 20 minutes south of Ubud, on the grounds of Green School. Orin Hardy and Maria Farrugia are passionate about growing nutrient-dense food with no pesticides, no fertilisers, in a way that adds vitality, diversity and abundance to the land; it has taken hard work and perseverance to see that dream ful¿lled. Every Thursday, they open up the farm for a free workshop; a chance to meet other people interested in growing things, learn about permaculture at work in Bali, and pick up some gardening tips! A community lunch prepared with delicious organic food straight from the garden follows the communal hard work of the morning. With a bamboo classroom, garden library, accommodation, a community kitchen, a nursery, and market gardens, they sell their seasonal herbs, vegetables, fruits – and seedlings, plants and trees - at Kul Kul Farm Stand at Green School.

Local News Australia Seeks Regional Terrorism Cooperation After Jakarta Attack

British Citizen Caught with Marijuana at Bali airport

Australia is seeking regional cooperation to fight the “menace” of violent extremism that will be with the region for some time, the country’s justice minister said on Saturday (23/1).

Jakarta has said it is working to stem the flow of Southeast Asian militants traveling to and from Syria and Iraq but police say the nation’s porous border makes it easy for

A British citizen Stephen Russel Hakes (58) was caught

“The marijuana was hidden in his rectum,” Head of

A deadly Jan. 14 attack in Jakarta that killed eight people and an August bombing in Bangkok that ripped through a popular shrine killing 20 people, most of them foreign tourists, have injected new urgency for regional counterterrorism efforts.

“We don’t want to change the open nature of our society. We like the fact that this is a very busy region with people passing through,” said Keenan.

“The region is subject to the same threats as the globe is and that is there is a malignant organization that has established itself in the Middle East, ISIL, and they continue to export terror around the globe,” Australian Justice Minister Michael Keenan told Reuters in Bangkok during a visit with his Thai counterparts to discuss security issues. Keenan, who is also Counter-Terrorism Minister, said Australia stood ready to share its expertise with regional governments. “If we can make those relationships stronger then we should seek to do so because this menace is going to be with us for some time and the more we can do to collaborate, to address it, the safer our people will be.”

“That’s why intelligence is very important, sharing information about people who might be of concern,” he said. On Tuesday, US President Barack Obama and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull pledged to increase cooperation on counter-terrorism and the fight against Islamic State. Australia, a staunch ally of the United States and its battle against Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria, has been on heightened alert for attacks by homegrown radicals. Thai Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan last week said Thailand has not found any evidence of IS activities in the country, following reports that IS sympathizers had crossed the Thai-Malaysia border to meet with southern religious leaders.

red-handed carrying three grams of marijuana by the Customs and Excise Office at Ngurah Rai, Denpasar, Bali. Supervision and Service of the Customs and Excise Office at Ngurah Rai, Bali, Budi Harjanto stated here on Wednesday (13/1). The British national, born in Watford, England, on December 26, 1958, was arrested shortly after landing at the Ngurah Rai International Airport on January 9 at 12 p.m. local time. He arrived from Dong Mueang, Thailand, aboard AirAsia flight FD-396 to Denpasar. Using technology capable of tracking passenger movement, the officers were suspicious of Hakes when the aircraft landed. The ground officers closely observed him at the arrival corridor, immigration checkpoint, and during inspection in the custom area. At first, the officers manually checked Hakes luggage and then continued the process using X-ray scanning equipment, but they did not find any suspicious items. The officers’ suspicions led them to conduct a body check on Hakes. If found guilty, Hakes would have to face a minimum five years to a maximum 15 years of jail term in addition to a fine of between Rp. 1 billion and Rp. 10 billion. (January 13th 2016) Suspected Oz Pedophile May Have Abused More Than 15 Children

Jakarta’s gun and bomb attack was claimed by Islamic State (IS), the radical group’s first assault on Indonesia. Keenan said Australia has updated its travel warning for Indonesia but has not changed the threat level, which remains to “exercise a high degree of caution”.

Since 2004, insurgents have been battling for greater autonomy in Thailand’s three Muslim dominated provinces where fighting between Thai security forces and MalayMuslim separatists has killed more than 6,000 people. (January 24th 2016)

Police in Bali have identified 15 child sex abuse victims and are investigating more incidents after a 70-year-old Australian national was arrested last year, a police spokesman said on Wednesday (20/1). The suspect, a man identified only as R.A., was arrested on Nov. 1 at a

but have questioned several witnesses to obtain a description of him.

The letter has also prompted police to tighten security across Bali’s seaport, airport and crowded areas that are popular with tourists.

“We are now investigating the letter,” said Bali police spokesperson Hery Wiyanto. “We have questioned several witnesses, mostly staff of the Buleleng subdistrict office where the letter was sent.

The note was delivered to a government office in northern Bali just days after the Jakarta attacks that left eight people dead, including four civilians and four terrorists. According to reports, the note stated: “Our members are currently present in Denpasar and Singaraja” and threatened “to blow up these cities in the name of Allah.” “Our members are currently present in Denpasar and Singaraja,” it said. The letter also warned they would “attack shopping centre’s, offices and tourist destinations”. Buleleng police chief Heri Heriyadi confirmed the letter had been delivered to the local government office at Buleleng before 9am. “When the letter was opened by administration staff the situation turned quite chaotic,” he said. “It was a threatening letter, one of our team was there, saw the letter and the ruckus, they immediately took the letter and witnesses to police station, so we can do an immediate follow up.” Police are yet to identify the man who walked into the Buleleng district government office in the north of the island,

Investigators received a number of tips from locals, who said they frequently saw the man bring young girls aged around 10 to his home.Police found a list of names, believed to be victims, while searching the suspect’s rented home. Of the 32 names listed, 15 are confirmed to be victims, Sr. Comr. Hery Wiyanto of the Bali Police said. “The actual number of victims could have been higher as we have yet to question the remaining 17.” Investigators have also

started as information from Lentera Anak Bali Foundation, a child protection foundation. Bali has seen a number of foreign nationals arrested in recent years on child sexual abuse charges. (January 20th2016)

“We are deploying more personnel in seaport, airport, and many crowded areas, including areas where many foreigners gather. We are also intensifying patrols.” Wiyanto said he believed the letter was sent to spread terror. “I think it is aimed to spread terror,” Wiyanto said. “It may be done by people only for fun, but may also be serious. So, we still have to be vigilant.” Despite the terror threat being made, he said Bali was currently “safe”, with locals and foreigners able to do normal activities. The Australian government website smarttraveller.com.au advises Australians to exercise a high degree of caution in Indonesia, however the overall level of advice has not changed since the attacks.

Denpasar-Gilimanuk Bridge Collapses A bridge over the Tukad Aya river on the DenpasarGilimanuk highway collapsed on Saturday (23/1). Fortunately no one was injured at the time of the collapse and police managed to reroute traffic shortly after the incident. The bridge-collapse caused major traffic jams as the road usually connects Bali’s eastern port of Gilimanuk and the capital of Denpasar. The head of the Jembrana Police precinct, Djono Widodo, said traffic between Gilimanuk and Denpasar was being rerouted to alternate roads. “Smaller vehicles & motorbikes can still pass through small village roads, however large trucks and busses will now need to travel via Singaraja and Bedugul until the bridge is repaired.” (January 23rd 2016)

Bali Eyes More Chinese Tourists in 2016 Bali’s Association of Travel Bureaus (Asita Bali) is anticipating a surge in the number Chinese tourists visiting Bali in 2016. Direct flights from Chinese cities to Bali could help increase the number of Chinese tourist arrivals, Chairman of Asita Bali I Ketut Ardana stated here, Monday (18/1). On January 12, 2016, Garuda Indonesia launched a direct flight connecting Shanghai in China with Denpasar in Bali Island. “Recently, additional flights have been started to Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzou,” he added.

regulation (Perpres) to prevent child violence and bullying, cabinet secretary Pramono Anung said here on Wednesday (20/1). He said following a limited cabinet meeting on the issue at the presidential office, “the President agreed to issue Perppu and Perpres to prevent and overcome child violence.” He said so far all cases of child violence were only being reported to the police or were being ignored. No other action was mandatory and a new regulation needed to be issued, he said. “This Perppu idea actually emerged

following discussions on the issue as some people wanted to introduce castration as a punishment for sex offenders who abuse children while some others rejected such a move,” he said. Pramono said the President has asked his officials to study the issue more deeply as community members were engaged with pros and cons of such a proposal. “Any kind of sexual violence against children, according to Pak (Mr) Arist (the chairman of the National Commission on Child Protection) must be categorized as an extraordinary crime,” he said. Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Puan Maharani, said the Perpres would be issued soon. “The best way (to deal with the crime) is preventing, imposing sanctions and overcoming it,” she said. As for Perppu on castration, she said the subject needed to be seriously studied even further. She said predators must be made to face very heavy punishment, such as castration using chemical substance, as a deterrent. (21st January 2016) C/NV/U-23 Dec 15

Does your pet have BAD BREATH? Dogs and cats cannot brush their own teeth. This may seem like stating the obvious, but there are a huge number of pets in Bali with severe dental disease that need treatment. Most owners are unaware of their pet’s teeth problem until either a vet checks the pet’s mouth, or the mouth becomes so sore and breath so foul that the owner’s attention is drawn to it. As your dentist will advise you, preventative dental care is a much better strategy than waiting for a problem to occur and then dealing with it. Dogs do not tend to suffer from cavities as cats (and humans) do, but often get periodontal (gum) disease, which is painful. In this article we focus on dental disease in dogs, though all of this advice equally applies to cats. Are some dogs more likely to get dental disease than others? Yes. There is a lot of breed variation in the susceptibility to periodontal disease. Toy breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers and Pugs have very soft gums and, if their teeth are not brushed regularly, they usually require dental scaling under anaesthesia at just a few years of age. Larger breeds such as Golden Retrievers and Labradors have harder gums and rarely need any dental treatment, even without brushing. Likewise, Bali dogs usually have strong gums and good teeth. However, any pet can develop dental disease and any good vet will check a dogs mouth as part of a routine annual check up to advise whether any dental treatment is necessary. Clearly diet plays a major role in the development of dental disease. Dogs that eat a dry biscuit based or complete diet are less likely to get periodontal disease compared with dogs on wet tinned food merely due to the crunchy hard food helping to stop tartar attaching to the teeth. Raw meaty bones (available from Sunset Vet) also help in this regard. Some owners supplement their dogs diet with chews or bones speci¿cally designed to help clean teeth, just like it is said that eating a crunchy apple helps to keep a humans teeth clean. However, just like in humans, diet alone is not enough for some dogs and brushing may be necessary if you are to avoid the prospect of dental scaling and polishing under general anaesthetic further down the line. How do I know if my dog has dental disease? The common signs to look out for are: 1. Discoloration of the teeth, with yellow/brown tartar (known as calculus) adhering to the teeth, mainly on the cheek side. 2. Reddening of the gums (known as gingivitis). 3. Recession on the gum to expose some of the tooth root. 4. Bad breath (halitosis). 5. Dribbling more than is usual. 6. Reluctance to bite on hard objects such as sticks and toys. 7. Dif¿culty eating dry biscuit type foods.

How do I go about brushing my dog’s teeth? Dogs do not really like the minty taste of human toothpastes, so your dog may be more cooperative if you buy some meat Àavoured pet toothpaste from your local pet shop. These pet toothpastes usually contain enzymes that help control plaque. Fluoride may be incorporated to help control bacteria. Tip: try placing the toothpaste between the bristles if you can rather than on the top of them, as this will achieve better cleaning.

C/NV/G-02 Sept. 15

You can use a human toothbrush but choose one with soft bristles. Most pets will accept this if you are gentle. It is much easier if you start when they are puppies so that they are accustomed to the procedure, but even older dogs can grow to accept it. The outside of the teeth (the cheek side) is the most important to clean, as the dogs tongue helps clean the inside of the teeth to an extent. Focus on the areas at the base of each tooth and the gaps between the teeth, and brush in an oval motion for at least a minute on each side. When starting for the ¿rst time, do it twice daily without toothpaste for 1-2 weeks. This way your dog will become familiar with the feel of the brush quickly, and you can then start doing it with toothpaste. In the long term, once a week brushing is usually adequate if done thoroughly.

C/NV/U-3 Feb 16

My dog already has yellow/brown tartar on the teeth, should I be worried about getting his/her teeth done at the vets? If your dog already has signi¿cant dental tartar (known as ‘calculus’) then you won’t be able to remove it by brushing, just as you wouldn’t be able to remove barnacles from a ship’s hull with a toothbrush. Your dog needs a ‘dental’ with an ultrasonic scaler to crack off all the tartar and leave them with the gleaming white teeth they deserve! This can be done at most vet clinics, is a single day procedure and usually costs Rp.1.5-2.5m depending on the size of the dog and the severity of the dental disease (i.e. whether extractions are necessary). The bulk of the cost is the general anaesthetic, as pets will not tolerate dental scaling when conscious. Dental scaling and polishing is done frequently at Sunset Vet, and does not have any risks in itself beyond the small anesthetic risk that exists with every general anesthetic. Your vet may advise a pre-anesthetic blood test for geriatric patients as a matter of protocol, to check on their liver and kidney function so as to optimise patient safety. If you think your dog or cat might need his/her teeth professionally cleaned, you should book an appointment with your vet ASAP. In addition to giving your pet the gift of fresh breath, many dogs and cats develop a new lease of life when their mouth suddenly becomes pain free, it may be the greatest gift you could ever give your pet.

Sunset Vet offers veterinary services via their Kuta (24hr) and Ubud (8am-7pm) clinics. For further information or to make an appointment call them on 0361754881 (Kuta) or 0361975296 (Ubud), or visit www.sunsetvetbali.com or www.facebook.com/ sunsetvetbali Copyright © 2016 Bali Advertiser You can read all past articles of Sunset Vet at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz
