What Price? Fear, Sex and Greed Command a Better Price Let’s set some basic pricing ground rules. The first is that Heidi, your customer is not buying a product or service per se, but is paying to get a job done. If what you offer doesn’t help with that primary objective then you get nowhere regardless of your price. Yet Heidi will pay more if she believes you can help her get the job done perfectly, and more again if she believes you can help her better than your competition. The second element is the emotions you evoke in determining value, and the biggest, brightest emotions have to do with fear, sex and greed. I hate to say it, but it has been true over the centuries and nothing has changed in this one. Value (as seen by Heidi, not you) is what determines your selling price. So you need to discover what Heidi’s real needs are, and as most business people don’t know, when you learn this you are way ahead of the pack. Fear Heidi has two fears in her buying spree -– fear of change that the product or service represents and fear of being cheated on price and result. You can overcome these two obstacles by showing Heidi HOW the product will help her get the job done, perfectly. You are increasing her gains and reducing or eliminating her pains. Sex Sex sells. Popular men’s magazines have experimented often to check impact on sales. Overwhelmingly, when a sexy, semi-naked woman appears on the cover, it outperforms an image of a male star. Because sex is so powerful in advertising, when used with the appropriate products it can improve the value of your brand and so command higher prices. Greed Oscar Wilde famously said, “A cynic is man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Price is certainly a key attribute that consumers consider before making a purchase - but even a cynic can be moved away from price alone. Let me give some examples.

Pricing Display Tips Bracketing – a tested example in selling beer showed that best result was offering 3 options with the price you wanted people to buy in the middle. Set third option very high, some people will buy the highest-priced item regardless. Set A, 2 options only: Bargain Beer $1.80 sold 20%, Premium Beer $2.50 sold 80% Set B: Super Bargain Beer $1.60 sold 0%, Bargain Beer $1.80 sold 80%, Premium Beer $2.50 sold 20% Set C: Bargain Beer $1.80 sold 5%, Premium Beer $2.50 sold 85%, Super Premium Beer $3.40 sold 10% For 100 Beers, Set A sales = $186; Set B sales = $144, Set C sales = $206. Do the math. An 8% sales increase became possible just from a pricing option. Decoy Pricing – offer different options with similar or almost similar prices for two of them. Of these two, one is a decoy and the other is the more attractive choice you want people to pay. Dan Ariely (a behavioural scientist) conducted a study offering three different subscriptions for the Economist magazine to 100 MIT students: web only ($59), print only ($125), web and print ($125). 16% bought at the $59 price and 84% bought the web and print offer. When he took out the decoy, the ratio changed to 68% for the $59 web only, and 32% for the $ 125 combined offer. Decoy pricing gave an 81% increase in sales value. Go figure. No Dollar / Rupiah Sign – remove the currency symbol from your products, this appears to reduce the pain of paying, triggered by the currency symbol. This was tested on a menu by a restaurant in New York, where items with no currency symbol outsold items with currency symbols with or without decimal points. The Magic 9 – University of Chicago and MIT tested selling the same dress at three prices, $34, $39 and $44. The $39 price was the biggest seller. Size Matters – when you have a sale, show the discounted price smaller than the normal price. This is counterintuitive, but it works.

Pricing Factors Product Markups Setting a standard markup on costs is easy but lazy, and

potentially leaves money on the table. It doesn’t happen in the pasar, as we all know. Set your price based on a value from the customer’s viewpoint, about how well your product meets her needs. Is an umbrella worth more on a rainy day? Is a product’s setting (packaging, store ambience) influential on my perceived value? Smart business owners understand Heidi’s pricing needs differ in three primary ways: pricing plans, product preferences, and product valuations. Pick-aplan, versioning, and differential pricing tactics serve these diverse needs. Pick-A-Plan - If Heidi has a problem with your pricing plan, provide options. Examples are rent, lease, prepay, all-youcan-eat, happy hour, or quiet-day promotions. Provide ownership options, reinforce value, and overcome financial constraints. Product Preferences – we covered an aspect of these in Pricing Display Tips above. Versioning - Offer good, better, and best versions. These options allow Heidi to choose how much to pay for a product. In our health foods shops chains in Australia we reduced our offerings for vitamins to only three options based on price breaks. Sales increased once the choice was narrowed, and customers found the price point that suited them. Differentiated products - Water is a great example of a commodity transformed into a differentiated product. You differentiate your product relative to your competitors based on three factors: price, quality and service. If you want to signal high quality, you should probably be priced higher than most of your competition. Product includes it’s packaging in setting a quality position. For example, I just bought a jar of Big Tree Farm’s cocoa nibs and there is no doubt in my (emotional) mind that this superb new packaging delivers better value for money than the cardboard carton I first previously bought from them. Service Pricing Tips What message do you want your pricing to communicate? There is a market for goods and services at all price points, and your pricing is a key part of your positioning. The concept that “you get what you pay for” is ingrained in Heidi’s consciousness. Price Services According to Value – Cost and value should not get confused in setting your price. Don’t set your price based on the value you see in the work involved in providing the service. Instead, discover the value to Heidi in getting a job done perfectly; your price should be directly related to the amount of value you deliver. Your Form of Offer - clients often pay a higher price for reasons other than quality. Mostly it’s about what you offer, and how you’re offering it, that makes a difference. Your offer to Heidi needs to focus on what value your services will provide for her in getting the job done. If you itemize tasks and hours then you distract Heidi from what is important to her. You are throwing up multiple pain points, your tasks imply commodities, and you’re inviting her to pick apart your estimate and go comparison-shopping. Pain = Loss = Price. I used to price on hours as a basis of being “fair” and I had as many pain points from it as Heidi did!

C/Ns/G-17 April 13

Bundle Your Service Price - The bundled pricing technique is one of the most effective ways of communicating value when presenting your fees. • Give a lump sum amount for the solution offered, with no hours mentioned. List the deliverables in your solution that help Heidi get the job done. This suggestion alone can offer a 36% increase in approvals over the task invoice approach. • Offer options that improve the solution you have provided; Heidi can easily understand these and doesn’t need to be resold. Limit your options. Research by Bidsketch on 25,000 proposals and estimates shows limiting options to just one or two of the right type increases revenue by 32%. With pricing, many of these concepts are easy to implement and can start producing profits almost immediately. So what can your business work on today? Is there an aspect of developing a successful business you would like me to write about?

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE SEPTEMBER 04 - SEPTEMBER 18, 2013

New Moon in Virgo to start this fortnight. The Sun and Moon both at 13 degrees on the 5th mark a time of health regeneration and a focus on the physical body. So many have gone through bodily purging after the big astrology of August. The Grand Cross with Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter and Venus brought up old relationship trauma debris. Pluto goes direct this month as we head into the exact square to Uranus at the very beginning of November and so you can still be riding these waves of change all the way through until then and for a few weeks after. Venus moves into Scorpio this month and joins Saturn at the end of this fortnight. Mercury following her footsteps now in Libra and creates a T-square to Uranus and Pluto, although Jupiter has now moved on. Venus and Saturn conjoined are sextile to Pluto and so bring an ease to creating the new boundaries in relationship or commitment within both the existing and new ones. There may be more transformation work to do and with that, Saturn will ensure that this gets done. The North Node is sitting right alongside Venus and Saturn at the 9 degree mark and this brings a feeling of destiny to all meetings and those soul-mate relationships that are now reconnecting with a deep sense of purpose and intensity. Pluto will push you to move forward on your soul’s evolutionary journey. All of this taking place on the Full Moon in Pisces on and around the 19th. NEW MOON 13 Virgo 04 September 5, 2013 07:37 p.m.

ARIES Finally that energy that we’ve been promising is now yours to use. It’s been a wild and bumpy ride for many of you, but then your life normally is. With Uranus in your sign a major player in big transits occurring over the coming weeks you are in for some huge makeovers and potentially revolutionary change. This is the time for deep let-go and moving with the current of life, rather than trying to fight with it or struggle with these changes. Your competitive nature can often get in the way of your achievements. This is the time to be gentle with yourself and to pace your actions although the temptation to rush will be high.

LIBRA Venus slides out of your sign and Mercury enters, followed by the Sun next fortnight. With the amount of Planets and Signs involved in current and recent transits, pretty much everyone was activated in a major way. You have been one of those more heavily influenced. If relationships have come to end, accept it with graciousness. Forgive yourself and others and let go any tendency to feel sorry for yourself or feel victimized. There’s always the potential to be thrown into the past and it’s disappointments when a relationship ends. Stay present, stay focused and stay grateful. This is the stepping stone to your future.

TAURUS Venus your ruler is certainly in the spotlight. Things are about to change in a way that you couldn’t have imagined. As I mentioned in the intro the karmic nodes are involved in a meeting with Venus and Saturn. This is the time for outstanding meetings to take place. People from your ancient past are about to re-enter your life and bring you more into alignment with your soul’s evolutionary trajectory. There’s nothing lightweight about this and it will fill you with a sense of joy and fulfillment like never before. Although there may be some hard work involved, you can see and feel the benefit of it and so enter willingly.

SCORPIO How long does it take to complete a transformation? The truth is that we are always in some kind of transition and with that in mind it is better to take any challenges that you are currently experiencing in your stride. Flow with them rather than try to move against them or in opposition to them. There are so many things triggering you and inspiring and motivating you to grow and expand right now. Harness this momentum and move in the direction of your own desires and remember there is nobody out there doing anything to you, although it certainly feels like it. Find the resistance in your own mind and delete it.

GEMINI Mercury goes into Libra this month, a fellow air sign and promises to kick up a communication storm. It will be opposite Uranus and square to Pluto towards the end of this fortnight. Take this as a little fore-warning for potential sticky patches or communication glitches. The upside to all of this is the revolutionary thinking that is accessible to you once you consciously let go of old beliefs and habits of thinking. In truth, if you harness the power of this transit you can transform your life and bring a new future into manifestation for yourself. If you are tired of repeating the same old cycle, then vision yourself a new future.

SAGITTARIUS Jupiter moving along nicely in that maternal sign of Cancer, bringing the Mother’s touch to all those that she is urging to grow. The maturation process needn’t be a hard slog. You can make it fun. Let these days not dampen your adventurous spirit or hinder your joyous nature. Transformation and change can in and of itself be enjoyable if you feel a little more in the drivers seat. Consciously choose to let go and move on with grace and ease. The future is golden and so many of your dreams are about to be born into reality. Let go the concept of hard work, generally not too hard for you, and allow them to appear.

CANCER A more harmonious moon cycle for you, this one. Virgo is an earth sign that brings a lot of practicality and common sense. The Full Moon in Pisces, a fellow water sign, brings a great deal of creative potential. Get real then about the things that you want to bring to your life and dream them into being rather than sit around and wait for their appearance, get on with enjoying your life trusting and allowing their arrival. Jupiter is bringing luck and good fortune to your life. You are another who is being triggered by those slow moving outer planets. Although the going is slow, your life will be transformed.

CAPRICORN Another of those great moments in time is almost upon you. This Full Moon brings an inspiring transit that includes Saturn your ruler in Scorpio joined by the Karmic Node and Venus. It appears to be our soul’s destiny to meet certain people on our life’s path. Almost like soul contracts that involve certain activities shared with significant others. Often these show up as deep relationships and the co-creation of offspring. This is a personal event and so generally speaking many of you will be making these contacts in one form or another this month. This is not something to go looking for as it is going to arrive regardless of what you do.

LEO The Sun as it passes through Virgo brings the impulse to get healthy through diet, exercise and meditation. Following along after your Birthday, many are inspired at this time of year, to improve their health and stamina. You are excited about new plans, new goals and the potential of new relationships. Some have been single for a time and are ready to enter into a more permanent type of partnership both in their personal and business life. It seems like the year ahead is bringing a restructuring to your work ethic. Leo’s often do well as business owners and teachers. With your flare for the dramatic you inspire others.

AQUARIUS A knee jerk reaction to recent events could make you truly want to blame another. Let it go and move towards what it is that you want for your own self nurture and is in alignment with your heart. Raise your vibration to meet that of joyous receptivity and allow this in. By holding a grudge you stop the natural order and flow of grace in your life. You attracted this very event by your own thinking and it was either habit or unconscious. It’s fine to move ahead in an exponential way, even if those close to you choose differently. Stop trying to carry others through the swamp but by all means uplift, support and encourage.

VIRGO The Sun continues in your sign this fortnight with the Full Moon in your polar opposite sign of Pisces on the 19th. It’s really the highlight of this Virgo month and what a Full Moon it will be with our mini-stellium in Scorpio including Venus and the North Node. It feels like the time for you to move ahead with determination and intensity now. As you release habitual thinking and remodel your life you move forward with a solid intention. The Pisces Full Moon is the best time for ceremony and ritual. Let this then be both the ending and the new beginning portal. First as you release and then intend. Make it joyful and fun.

PISCES Neptune makes an harmonious aspect to Venus briefly at the end of this fortnight and brings some deep dreams to fruition. You can see the results of what you’ve been practicing and this gives you the courage to keep going and the motivation to be a little more bold. Relationships will flow in an intuitive way for a moment and this extra closeness will have you feeling very loved, nurtured and supported. Be very aware of your dreams and keep note of them. They may portend some future trends for you and those closest to you. This is a great time to sharpen your psychic abilities and to raise your vibration.

“I DO!” BA Guide to Weddings in Bali (Part 2) Venues for Wedding Ceremonies

In Part 1 of the BA Guide to Wedding in Bali we introduced the theme ‘Wedding in Bali’ to the BA readers, and gave a first insight into 1) Types of Wedding Ceremonies, and 2) Wedding Locations Part 2 will now take a closer look into the manifold Bali wedding venues currently available and recommendable. However, the below selection of dedicated wedding venues is the BA Wedding Planner’s personal and opinionated choice; it does not aspire to be complete or impartial. Thus, we extend our apologies to the wedding chapel managements whose venues are not listed here; if you feel your destination deserves mentioning in this article series, you are very welcome to contact us under below email address. 3) WEDDING VENUES NUSA DUA, TANJUNG BENOA, BUKIT/JIMBARAN Those southernmost areas have developed in something like the uncrowned champions of Bali Wedding Venues. Moreover, together with a wedding booking, many of the below venues offer complimentary 2-night accommodation for the couple - mostly including buffet breakfast. GRAND MIRAGE The Grand Mirage’s tent-like steel and glass construction is a beach wedding venue that doesn’t look like much on first sight – but when decorated and with the wedding is in full swing it is a beautiful and romantic location. GraMi also offer simpler open-air beach weddings for the lower budget, but: If it rains? GraMi assures that their ballrooms will be available for back-up. GRAND NIKKO BALI On the grounds of the rebranded Grand Nikko Bali we find one of Bali’s most impressive wedding chapels, the Wiwaha. Nikko’s wedding ceremonies and receptions have excelled over the past decade - and they are doing it again: Grand Nikko just inaugurated its newest-born, the Kamita, a charming over-sized gazebo right next to the Grand Nikko ballroom. Btw: One of Grand Nikko’s Wedding USPs has always been their committed and experienced Wedding Coordinators; they truly enjoy cooperating with outside professionals, the Bali Wedding Organizers, and their couples. CONRAD BALI Conrad Bali built its Infinity chapel together with the whole resort, so it is an integral part of the resort’s contemporary Balinese architecture. It is also the centre piece in Conrad’s wedding venue portfolio and is complemented by their Water Garden, Floating Garden, and Beach Bale wedding venues. Infinity is another tent-like beachside brick and glass construction, a style that seemed mandatory in many wedding buildings about a decade ago. Conrad’s weddings are certainly not within reach of everybody’s budget, but Conrad’s 5* service is worth the money. ST REGIS Small can be beautiful. St Regis proved that by introducing Cloud 9, one of Bali’s smaller wedding chapels, but nevertheless one of its most picturesque. A stone throw away from St Regis’ private beach and built like a little American church with a somewhat colonial interior, it is certainly different from the other occasionally futuristic wedding chapels, and has found its place in the Balinese wedding locations. At St Regis you need an even bigger bank account, but some of us seemingly have … ☺ BULGARI There are people who like the Bulgari’s black and dark brown architecture and interiors; admittedly the BA Wedding Planner isn’t one of them. Also, so far Bulgari has yet to build a real wedding chapel: Wedding ceremonies are currently conducted as Water Wedding on a stage over a larger pond – but unfortunately in full view of the near-by bar; on the private beach with limited guest attendance, at a Gazebo, and at a multi-function Pavilion. It is now heard, however, that Bulgari is planning to erect a “proper” wedding chapel – and that warms this author’s heart. ALILA ULUWATU The complete opposite to Bulgari is the bright, sandc o l o u r e d , minimalist, and very stylish Alila in Uluwatu. Their wedding venue, however, is nothing for the faint-hearted or vertigo-prone, since the Cabana hovers dramatically above the cliffs and allows spectacular sights (and feelings) while getting married. In times of rain Alila moves the ceremony to one of their elegant function rooms – one of them sporting church-like tainted windows. Truly intriguing.

THE RITUAL One of the few Bali wedding chapels without the support of a big international brand name, and a stand-alone location. The Ritual is shaped in a stunning sails design and looks over Bali’s southern cliffs. Important: It also provides generous bridal suites, guest and day rooms, and a fully-fledged FB section. And: Absolute privacy. TIRTHA BALI “Words cannot adequately describe the feeling of Tirtha Bridal”, says the promotion text on Tirtha’s website. Well, let’s give it a try anyway ☺ : Tirtha is another independent wedding venue; it is in Japanese ownership – and it shows. Architecture, interior, and the ever-friendly Tirtha staff evoke a feeling of exotic difference. Tirtha is a truly stunning place with sometimes too narrow staircase steps and occasionally long ways, but the overall impression is amazing – not for everyone, but for many. OCEAN BLUE This resort’s mid-market wedding chapel ‘Blue Moon’ offers one of the most generous surroundings (think vibrant wedding party) and a spectacular view on the Indian Ocean. The building has seen better days but the management announces forthcoming renovations. Blue Moon’s Bridal Suites, however, can be evaluated as state-of-the-art. Good to know: Wedding Packages at BM usually include a complimentary 2-night stay at one of the resort’s villas. BLUE POINT Also ‘blue’ and practically a neighbour to Blue Moon: Meet Bali’s most popular wedding chapel Blue Point. BP owes its success to its stunning location over the Jimbaran Beach cliffs, and its guaranteed sunset weddings. No other chapel has such spectacular romantic disposition to the earth’s closest star - and it doesn’t hurt that it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to get married in their cozy blue chapel. HARRIS BUKIT Harris Bukit is the Harris Group’s first dedicated wedding chapel in Bali - and it is a pleasant addition to the growing range of Bali’s wedding venues. In the ever-so-popular tent design it is located right on the main building’s roof top with a 360° panoramic view over the Bali bay, truly spectacular: Get married and see the world ☺. Although the resort is relatively new, it is obvious that its wedding department, under guidance of their GM Louis Poisson, know their stuff. AYANA ‘Tresna’ and Astina’ are the names of this legendary resort’s popular wedding chapels. Once being named ‘Best Wedding Venue in the World’ the chapels now unfortunately show some wear and tear. Ayana’s wedding coordinators, however, are ever attentive, helpful, and professional. Ayana (formerly Ritz Carlton) offers five more wedding locations on their grounds, among them an old Javanese Joglo, a traditional Balinese pavilion, and their Champa Garden. Something for everybody – with enough funds ☺

SANUR AREA There is just one proper wedding chapel in laid back and quiet Sanur – but it’s stunning. THE DIAMOND BALI “The World’s Most Spectacular Wedding Chapel” according to their promotion material; and if you walk by its 15m high filigree glass and steel diamond-shaped construction on Sanur’s beach promenade you may be inclined to agree. Located on the grounds of the Grand Bali Beach but owned and managed independently, The Diamond Bali has added an exclusive touch to Bali’s wedding locations: Three amazing bridal rooms, a separate beach lounge for the wedding guests and beautiful landscaped gardens make it one of Bali’s most favoured chapels among its international clients and wedding organizers – also because of its unforgettable dinner receptions and parties against

the backdrop of this gigantic blue diamond.

TUBAN + SEMINYAK AMANDA Not everybody’s choice but definitely attractive for the couples whose bank accounts are not overflowing. The Japanese like its no-frills approach, and probably don’t mind the big diving pool right in front of the small chapel (seating capacity about 20 guests). Amanda could be called a one-stop wedding solution, since it also provides wedding dress and tuxedo rental at acceptable prices, and offers accommodation and tours around Bali through its attached travel agency. SANTI Always a good choice. Built within the luxurious Kunja Villas, this glass chapel is set in a lovely garden scenery with suggestions of Balinese water terraces. Santi is a shielded and private venue, no public allowed: just the couple, the family, and the guests. And that makes Santi a perfect choice for the many lovers with alternative lifestyles – such as their community friends in New Zealand who finally can get married legally! You get it, don’t you? ☺

CHURCHES Remark + Request: Until the end of 2011, believers of the two main Christian religions (Protestants and Catholics) were ‘the same’; at least when it came to celebrating your wedding in a Bali chapel. Not any more, my friends: As of last year and by order of the new bishop, Catholic couples cannot religiously marry in a wedding chapel anymore; they have to get wed in a Bali church. Hmm, churches as mandatory wedding venues? What happened to “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am in their midst” (Matthew 18:20), and its embedded meaning? On behalf of all Bali Wedding Organizers, the BA Wedding Planner would herewith like to appeal to his Excellency the Bishop of Bali to revoke his 2011 decision and re-allow Catholic wedding ceremonies to be conducted also outside the Bali churches. Your Excellency, thank you very much in advance for taking our request into consideration. This being said, let’s now take a look at two Bali catholic churches, not at all representative but unique, both of them, and in their special way. ST FRANSISKUS XAVIER Impressive church building located in Tuban South Kuta. It can seat up to a thousand visitors, and is in really good shape. Most Bali Wedding Organizers now work closely with Kuta FX, as it has rebranded itself, and the priests and admin workers are truly helpful. PUJA MANDALA Bali showcases the island’s religious tolerance and acceptance of cultural diversity with the Puja Mandala worship complex on Bukit Nusa Dua. It is home to a Protestant church, a mosque, a Buddhist temple, and a Catholic church – all on one compound! It is certainly a tourist attraction (fed on the ground-breaking ideas of former Tourist Minister Joop Ave) but it is also a place where followers of the above religions come together and celebrate Christmas, Waisak, and Idul Fitri. And their weddings ☺ Puja Mandala, an amazing manifestation of Balinese open-mindedness.

RUGBY UNION NEWS

2013 Bali Rugby Fest’s competitive field is taking shape. Entries for this year’s XP Properties Bali Rugby Fest are closing down and this year the organisers, Bali Rugby Club, are happily surprised that the greatest numbers of entries are from Australian teams. In fact almost half of the 24 competing teams will be Australian teams, who will be travelling to Bali for the annual 10-a-side tournament this year taking place at the Canggu Club on October 12 and 13,reflecting the confidence Australians have in Bali. Last year’s Cup champions the Bush Turkeyz from the Northern Territory, will return for their swansong appearance and be on the lookout for these boys to be donning costumes as they plan a theme for their final Bali tour that could only be described as being bigger than Tom Cruise! Competitive sides from Australia will include Perth’s Nedlands and Palmyra rugby football clubs, however they will find strong opposition from the east coast of Australia with Griffith Uni Colleges, and not forgetting the solid regional teams that include the French expat side Gaulois from Singapore and current Jakarta 10’s Cup holders the Singapore Wanderers. Bali Rugby Club will take to the field with two teams: the Bali Chillis for expats players and the Bali Hanoman, who are the current National Men’s 7’s Champions, for the next generation of local players. For what is Indonesia’s largest rugby event, they’ll be accompanied by six other Indonesian teams including tournament regulars the Jakarta Komodos, Sumbawa Nagas, Jakarta Japanese Samurai, the Jakarta Bantengs and the Cendrawasih Highlanders from Papua. Such a tournament could not take place without the support of local businesses and these include: XP Properties, RMA Automotive, Pullman Hotel Legian, Heineken, Aqua and Mizone, and International SOS. As Bali Rugby Club’s Kurt Lovell explains “Spectators are welcome and it’s free. Bali Rugby Club with the assistance of the Canggu Club plan to put a spectators’ beer tent at the ground for those wanting to enjoy a relaxed day of entertaining sport competition.” Any enquiries can be made by emailing: balirugbyclub@ gmail.com and you may check out Bali Rugby club on Facebook: Bali Rugby Club.

games with no substitutes, beating Thailand, Japan and China, and with 2 players on the bench for the final pool game they had a great win over long time rivals,the Jakarta Bintangs (the first in possibly 3 years for the Geckos). The Geckos qualified for the finals in 4thspot based on percentage but relinquished their spot due to the fact that the Geckos had only been able to field a team for the day with players from other teams, who although weren’t the star players meant that it was not really a Geckos-only team that had gotten through. Jakarta ended up getting finals birth but was beaten by Philippines in the first semi final. Philipines Eagles went on to lose the final to the Hong Kong Dragons.4.5.29 to 2.3.15. In other AFL news, the 2013 Bali 9’s Australian Rules Football Tournament will take place on 4th and 5th October at the Canggu Club, the sensational venue for all of the AFL 9’s tournaments for the past few years. Last year the Geckos hosted held 12 teams at the Canggu Club for the event and are looking to increase that number to a capacity 18 teams for this year’s event, running the first round of pool games on the Friday afternoon and then a full day of footy culminating in the finals on Saturday evening.

Buleleng District of North Bali: A Cut Above We were not alone. In the cool fresh air of the early morning hundreds of tourists wearing bright orange lifejackets were wading out to dozens of mosquito legged outriggers with briny names like Sea Walker and Ocean Spray bobbing offshore. We boarded one of the jukung and set out for open sea. In 15 minutes 12 boats were clustered over a one square kilometer area. Whenever one of the boatmen sighted a dolphin’s fin breaking the water, swarms of growling boats sped towards the spot. Soon a thicket of boats hovered around waiting for the dolphins to reappear. Several of the boats would strike off on their own, followed by others chasing down any pod of lumba-lumba sighted. We were engaged in Lovina’s favorite marine recreation, unique to north Bali. Considering the island’s tourist arrivals of more than 3 million a year and its expat population of 25,000 strong, the physical and cultural assets of the Buleleng District of north Bali are little known and underappreciated. Tour buses seldom venture over the mountain passes and in spite of its rural and authentic way of life, the locals and expats living in the south feel that the north is just too far away. In reality the 100-km-long road to get up to the north via Lake Bedugul and its Ulun Danu temple is fantastic. Lovina is only a few hours drive and much of that time is spent just escaping the congested traffic of the south. Attractions of the region include pleasant weather, terraced rice fields, quiet walks in natural surroundings, the pervasive sounds of nature and strolling to the local market to observe the daily life of the villagers. The district capital of Singaraja is a clean, spaciously l a i d o u t cosmopolitan city of 400,000. Lovina, 10 km down the coast to the west, is the perfect starting point for sightseeing the whole northern part of the island. In 1953, Anak Agung Panji Tisna, the ruler of northern Bali, named this stretch of coast after the English word “love.” In 1976, the few losmen that existed were demolished by an earthquake, but by the 1980s small beachside inns and backpackers’ cafes began popping up again all over the main and central town of Kalibukbuk. Lovina is actually a generic term for a whole string of beachfront villages that it has, touristically speaking, devoured. Heading west out of Singaraja, the first village you come to is Pemaron, and then in quick succession are Tukadmungga, Anturan, Kalibukbuk, Kaliasem and Temukus. Kalibukbuk still is the most commercially active, while the fishing villages of Anturan and Temukus are a bit quieter and less densely populated. The uphill areas inland are also some of the most undeveloped on the island. Attracted by the cool altitude and the phenomenal views, an increasing number of foreigners are building houses in this hill area, turning the surrounding ridges into Lovina’s Beverly Hills. It used to be that the main attraction of Lovina was its cheap prices compared to Bali’s urbanized southern Sanur-KutaDenpasar triangle. But now all that is changing. Lovina still attracts refugee tourists from the fast-paced south, but the coastal strip keeps growing and the tourist economy makes accommodations and food less than the super-bargains they once were. Now lines of traffic, streaming in from both directions, back up at the red light on Kalibukbuk’s main intersection. Yet there are fewer beggars, touts and hassles in the relatively quiet black sand beaches of Lovina, which are far superior to Candidasa’s (though not as scenic as Bali’s southern coasts). Accommodations, generally on the north side of the road, are only a short walk from restaurants and shops and the beach where you can still enjoy beautiful soft sunsets. Besides the arrival of luxurious star-resorts, other signs of modernity and sophistication have begun to make their appearance.

Walking along the main road in central Kalibukbuk, I was drawn into welcoming environs of Bakery Lovina where a full array of delicious no-nonsense breads - from Swiss Farmers and Multi Korn to Wurzelbrot and German Sourdough – were on display. The Balinese lady behind the counter, who introduced herself as Ketut Budiartini, is the star of the show. Ketut studied under a German master baker for two years. Her husband Hans assured me in no uncertain terms that his wife’s bakery is the only European-style bakery in all of Lovina. “We opened seven years ago. Since then, many other bakeries have come and gone, but we’re still here. A Continental Breakfast is ultra important to Europeans,” Hans went on to explain, “who prize good quality bread and coffee,” while pointing to two Jura and Weiss cappuccino machines. Open 7 am until 10 pm every day, the place was crowded with guests from Lovina’s hotels – even hotels with free breakfasts. “Our Multigrain is the bestseller,” Ketut said proudly. For Chinese food, my favorite was clean and inexpensive Warung Lina in downtown Kalikbukbuk. Visitors use strategically located Lovina as a base for day-trips to not only such well-publicized sites as the Banjar Hot Springs and Buddhist monastery, but to walking trails and the isolated and waiting to be discovered waterfalls of Ambengan and Sudaji in the hills; to the Yeh Sanih and Tulamben seaside resorts and extravagantly carved temples of Kubutambahan to the east; to the surpassing dive center of Pemuteran, the Bali Barat National Park and Pulau Menjangan to the west, one of the best dive and diving/snorkeling sites in Indonesia, or escape over the central mountain range to the south for lakes and volcanoes. Lovina’s warm sea laps lazily at the gray-sand shore during the dry season, quite tame compared to the volatile southern seas. The wide expanse of sand is ideal for sunbathing and beach masseurs are readily available. At night out at sea fishing jukung glow with lanterns to lure fish for netting. The docile sea and the shallow lagoons make the north coast ideal for beginner swimmers and young snorkelers to safely explore the intertidal zone. You don’t need to venture far. Since the reef is so close to the beach, the snorkeling and diving in glass-clear water are above average. There are fine spots one to two km from shore where the water is still shallow. You can even see reef life right from your boat by just sticking your head underwater. Boatmen wait on the beach for customers and motorized outriggers (perahu) and snorkeling gear can easily be rented from the hotels. The Lovina Bali Resort, a four-star property on beautifully maintained grounds, exemplifies the changes that are taking place in this northern tourist center. This peaceful enclave is the area’s largest and swankest resort with a fitness center, kids play club, a large pool near the beach and spacious rooms equipped with kitchenettes. As soon as we checked in, we signed up for a tour of the dolphins early the next morning where complimentary coffee and tea were waiting for us. Nourishment for Body & Soul Surrounded by luxurious gardens and hilly jungle, the Banjar Hotspring is the perfect setting for a day’s loafing. We first headed west and then turned south from the intersection of Jl. Seririt, following the signs, and traveled two km on the road to Banjar Tega’s market. A further two km uphill to Banjar is the area’s best-known hotsprings (air panas) at the end of walkway past the entrance. Along the way, I noticed double quilted bedspreads selling for the surprising post-Idul Fitri price of only Rp100,000.

We lay back in one of the big lovingly warm pools of green-yellow sulfur water that poured out of pipes from the hill above. The smelly but powerfully curative mineral-laced water is said to be amazingly effective in eradicating skin problems, especially fungal infections. If that were true, this would make these steaming springs an unbeatable deal for the Rp5000 entrance fee. When you get too hot, take a dip or wade in the river below. Clean toilets, showers and changing rooms available. While in the neighborhood, we visited Bali’s only Buddhist monastery (known properly as Brahma Vihara Asrama), which opened in 1970. This tranquil storybook meditation center and ashram, 90 km north of Denpasar, was founded by a Buddhist monk who was a noted practitioner of the Vipassana breathing technique. Its gleaming orange roof, Sukothai-style gold leaf Buddha images, raksasa demon gate guardians, stupa with allseeing Buddha eyes, temple bell from Thailand and exuberant wood carved panels depicting Tantric fables is a dazzling mix of Balinese Hindu and Buddhist components. The Dalai Lama paid a visit this working monastery in 1982 and Bali’s Chinese make regular pilgrimages here. Severely damaged in the 1976 earthquake, it has since been completely restored. There is a replica of the Bo Tree of enlightenment, a small library of books on Buddhism (some for sale), a prayer and meditation hall, and unsurpassed views over the whole north coast. Walk from the monastery to the Banjar Hot springs on a path in just 10 minutes. Practicalities The Lovina Bali Resort (www.thelovinabali.com), Jl. Mas Lovina, Kalibukbuk, tel. 0362-3435-800; emails: info@thelovinabali.com, reservation@thelovinabali.com. Total of 66 villas and suites in 11 classes varying from 40 m to 227 m, 27 swimming pools, beach bar, body tonic spa, Heliconia restaurant and Pizzeria. Facing 200 meters of undeveloped beachfront, this resort is located at the end of a private road with impeded views of rice fields on either side. At the other end of the accommodation scale is the Bali, Jl. Raya Lovina, Kaliasem, tel. 0362-41172. Situated down a small side path by the side of the Biyu Nasak Gallery with private access to the beach 200 from away. Seven perfectly decent rooms (Rp60,000 each, no breakfast) with front terraces. BRI bank cards accepted. The length of your dolphin tour may vary from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the season, the boat and the captain. Motorized outriggers can fit 4-7 people. Make reservations the day before, but first check out the photo albums of boats. Give the vendor your room number and the hotel will wake you 30 minutes before the dawn departure. It’s about a 30-minute trip to dolphin territory. About 75% of the time, for a few miraculous moments, your boat will be surrounded by scores of leaping, flipping and blowing dolphins. Don’t let the boatmen go in before the agreed-upon time. Lovina is 2.5 to 3 hours from Denpasar on the central DenpasarSingaraja road. Stop at Candikuning market on the way to buy fresh fruit. An even more scenic route is north from Antosari, 42 km west of Tabanan, on one of the most stunning and emptiest long roads in Bali. Starting from sea level and clinging to the western slopes of Mt. Batukaru, you climb past towering trees, cascading rice fields and cool-weather coffee and clove plantations before arriving on the north coast at Seririt. <pakbill2003@yahoo.com> Copyright © 2013 Bill Dalton You can read all past articles of Bali Explorer at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

VISION QUEST -ON THE ROAD WITH THE JOHN FAWCETT FOUNDATION

It’s a chilly morning in August as I head northeast out of Ubud to the village of Kendaren. The John Fawcett Foundation (JFF) team has just arrived at the bale banjar and spends the next half hour sweeping, setting up chairs, hanging eye charts and laying out eye glasses, medicines and equipment. Villagers begin to mill around outside. The JFF team gathers into a circle and prays silently together that the day will go well and that they will be helpful to the people who come to the clinic. Then they go to their posts, the villagers begin to register and are escorted in to wait for their vision tests. A few days ago, a JFF team came to Kenadren to talk to the head of the village and the local health office, and hand out flyers advertising the free eye clinic. About 500 people will be screened at today’s clinic. Many will be issued with eye glasses, some will be given medication for minor eye ailments and a few will be slated for cataract surgery. The team swings smoothly into the familiar routine. To d a y, m o s t team members are nurses who have received extensive training in eye problems. Three village elders sit in a r o w a n d obediently cover their left eyes while a pair of nurses coaches each one through a session of reading the eye charts taped to the wall. If an abnormality is detected, the patients receive a detailed eye screening after the basic vision test. Those needing glasses have their prescription written on their card. At another table they’re issued with a new pair along with a quick reading test to ensure that the prescription is correct. I watch each face light up in pleasure and astonishment as the words on the test sheet come into crisp focus and the person is able to read easily again. The dispensing technician smiles. The villager smiles. I smile. There’s a lot of smiling going on. There are fewer smiles in another corner, where the more serious cases are seen. When the vision is very poor, the patients are sent to a table where they’re tested for glaucoma and cataracts. If the cataracts are deemed operable, there is further screening for diabetes and blood pressure and the person’s phone number is taken. Very soon -- usually the same day, sometimes the next day -- a mobile surgery clinic will arrive and Australian-trained ophthalmologists will perform cataract surgery using the latest surgical techniques, often operating on 10 patients in one visit. Since my mother lost an eye to cancer in 1968 I’ve been very sensitive about sight loss. My father is legally blind and can no longer use the computer, read or watch television, so my parents now have one 93 year old eye between them. The JFF Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention Program is very close to my heart. For over 22 years John Fawcett and the JFF have been providing free eye screening and cataract surgery, restoring sight to tens of thousands of poor people around Indonesia. The 28-member team includes nurses, doctors, technicians and administrators working with outside surgeons who volunteer their time. “Our staff turnover is very low,” CEO LeRoy Hollenbeck told me. “It’s a privilege to work with such dedicated and experienced people.” The key components of the program include field screening for impaired vision, treatment of minor eye ailments,

distribution of eye glasses, cataract surgery in villages for It’s surprisingly affordable to sponsor a mobile eye clinic adults and in co-operating hospitals for children, and mission in Bali. For just AUD$ 2,000 the mobile clinic will visit the village of the donor’s choice and screen up to 500 providing artificial eyes. people. This includes all costs including all screening Indonesia has one of the highest incidences of blindness in procedures, staff time, eye glasses and medicines and the world. It’s conservatively estimated that 1.5 percent of cataract surgery and post-operative care for up to 10 adult Indonesia’s population (over 3.6 million people) is visually cataract patients. Half a day is spent screening children at impaired with between two and three million of these people the local elementary school where poor performers are often affected by cataracts. Cataract blindness is reversible through found to need eye glasses. a safe, simple 20-minute operation using micro-surgery to remove the defective lens and replace it with a high quality inter-ocular lens.

It’s surprisingly affordable to sponsor a mobile eye clinic mission in Bali. For just AUD$ 2,000 the mobile clinic will visit the village of the donor’s choice and screen up to 500 people “People are blind because they are poor and remain poor because they are blind,” says John Fawcett, the Founder of JFF. “Usually it takes two family members to care for a cataract-blind relative, which removes three people from participating fully in the informal economy. So cataract blindness is as much an economic as a social problem.” Restoring the sight of a person blind from cataracts ultimately returns three people to the informal economy, conservatively estimated by the World Bank to add about US$ 252 to annual household income. (That might be lunch money to some readers, but it’s a significant sum to a poor rice farmer.) Restoring sight to all the cataract-blind in Indonesia would result in an annual net return to the national economy of about US$ 750 million. Currently, Indonesia has one of the lowest cataract surgery rates in Asia. Ironically, Indonesia’s poorest cataract patients receive some of the highest quality surgery and care in the country. In a wonderful example of technology transfer, the professional staff of the JFF team continues to upgrade its skills through training from leading Australian specialists traveling to Bali and visits to Perth by Indonesian doctors to study at the Eye Institute. Dr Wayan Gede Dharyata, JFF‘s Consulting Ophthalmologist, has generously supported the program for over 20 years by offering his excellent surgical skills, training new surgeons and assisting with strategic planning. Since 1991 the Foundation has screened over three quarters of a million people for eye problems, performed more than 36,000 cataract operations and distributed over 300,000 pairs of eye glasses. In 2012 the JFF screened and treated 54,632 eye patients, provided 2,146 free cataract operations on adults and 20 for children (children with cataracts require a general anesthetic in a hospital setting), distributed 31,387 pairs of eyeglasses, screened 3,024 school children and fitted 35 prosthetic eyes. Last year the JFF also served over 20,000 people on Lombok, undertook a mission on the island of Sumbawa and maintained a mobile eye clinic on Kalimantan. One of the mobile clinics is built to fit inside a Hercules C-130 aircraft of the Indonesian Air Force. This cooperation has enabled the JFF to offer screening and cataract surgery mobile clinics in more remote locations throughout the country. The money to fund all this good work comes exclusively from donations -- most of them individual -- and there are never enough. The JFF has five mobile clinics but due to funding constraints they have never all been operational at the same time. In 2012 two mobile clinics served Bali and one each served Lombok and Kalimantan. Keeping all five clinics on the road full time would allow the JFF to reach thousands more people a year. It takes AUD$ 13,000 to keep a bus on the road for a month.

The sun has burned through the chill and the day is heating up. We make our way to the village of Saba to the south, where the cataract operations began at 0830 this morning. The mobile clinic is parked on a small patch of ground between the local elementary school and the temple. Nearby are the ubiquitous boxes of nasi bungkus without which no community gathering in Bali is complete, and sitting in the shade of the van is a short row of elders already prepped for surgery. The operation will be brief and painless. They will go home to rest with the eye bandaged and tomorrow they’ll return early in the morning. The bandage will gently be removed, and they will see. To sponsor a Mobile Eye Health Care Clinic, please contact the JFF office at Jalan Pengembak No 16, Sanur or call (0361) 270812 Visit www.balieye.org for more information on this inspiring organization.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

‘Lek Ati’ A common expression in Balinese that may seem a little odd to other cultures is ‘lek ati’ which literally means ‘embarrassed liver’. Western cultures don’t talk much about being embarrassed or ashamed, and certainly never connected it with a bodily organ, but understanding what may embarrass a Balinese can help us fit in better in this society which in most ways is one hundred and eight degrees different from a western society. Whilst Balinese may not be embarrassed to fart, burp, spit, nose pick or pick lice in public, it is considered extraordinarily embarrassing to be shown up in front of a group. This is not only to avoid conflict in the future but also to keep harmony both in terms of personal feeling and also within the group. Any singling out of one person happens behind the scenes through gossip and then that person is labeled by much of society based on assumption due to idle rumours. Those of you who have ever had a meeting with Balinese staff will have noticed that hardly anyone is willing to express their opinion. The culture of shame and embarrassment can explain this mystery away – nobody is prepared to risk ‘rocking the boat’ for the sake of group harmony. A culture of shame explains why few Balinese are prepared to step away from the norms of society. This goes for what they believe, how they dress, how they talk and how they act. A sheep mentality is common in most Asian cultures and is exploited by not only political and religious leaders, but also marketers and the media. Those of us tirelessly racking our brains trying to find a solution to clean up Bali’s environment will be intimately aware that the Bali Go Green attitude has to be part of the local, Balinese mindset (since it is local Balinese make up the vast majority of the population, therefore most of the people who are destroying this island’s environment). The government and mass media could start a campaign of RUBBISH SHAME, “hidden-camera-ing” people chucking rubbish in the waterways and roadsides; using plastic bags; and burning trash. Could Bali succeed in shaming its people to care for Bali? Copyright © Kulture Kid 2013 You can read all past articles of Kulture Kid at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz C/E/I-07 August 13

Say What? C/E/G-4 Sept. 13

Question: I’m a 23-year-old girl at a point in my life when I don’t want to be tied down. Like the song says, I just want to have fun. The problem is that the majority of my female friends are serially monogamous; they all go from serious relationship to serious relationship. It’s as if they’re incapable of staying unattacted like I do. Because of this, they think I’m a slut. One even made a comment recently that the condoms in my purse are “trashy.” Maybe you can tell me, does not having a serious relationship make me slutty? Dr. ZZ: Not everyone is a “relationship person,” and not everyone is a relationship person at all times throughout their lives. Some people are inherently built to be in relationships; other people are not. There’s nothing wrong with either. Unless there are other telling behaviors that you’re not sharing, your friends may be making an unfounded judgment. You don’t judge them for being in one relationship after the next. They likewise have no grounds for judging you so harshly. Chances are you are subject to the unfortunate double standard society perpetuates against women. Men who sleep around are thought to be suave; women who do the same are perceived as loose. If what we’re talking about is protecting yourself against STDs while you are nonmonogamous, then that in itself does not warrant blame. You’re a young woman who’s trying on different involvements for the experience and enjoying the process. Your “friends” are probably jealous that you’re not tied down to their boring lifestyle. There’s nothing trashy about being safe. Question: With the current economic instability, my profession (trading) has seen a series of ups and downs. One year I may earn a six-figure income USD, and the next I can barely get by. I’m afraid to date women either until I find myself having a few good years in a row, or until I change my profession for a steadier career. Any suggestions? Dr. ZZ: You appear to be living an illusion that is, unfortunately, far too prevalent. The deception is that a man’s value and desirability are measurable only by his financial worth. As a result of this irrational belief, you have set yourself up to be alone until you see “a few good years in a row.” Since you asked for suggestions, I will do my best to dispel this artifice and invite you to step outside the box. First and foremost, having an inconsistent income is no reason to stop dating. Only you know if you’re doing all you can to succeed in your chosen profession and, from the sounds of it, you are capable of earning a living. A person’s livelihood is ultimately determined by a myriad of uncontrollable events. Such is life. If you believe that you

need to make yourself more appealing by earning more money, then you are deceiving yourself. Only you, not anyone else, can determine if your profession satisfies and gratifies you. When you first date a woman, it is not necessary to share that your income is erratic. Instead, you can present yourself as being ambitious, as having known financial success, and as energetically pursuing a livelihood that, like life, has its ups and downs. Ultimately, you want to find a life partner who loves you for what you are inside without judging you based on the amount of money you earn. Let women you date know that you are looking for someone who will support and empower you to be your best in all areas of life, not just finance. There are far too many men who have struggled to attain secure incomes until life intervenes; then they are either laid off or they suffer unforeseen losses. Others have been promoted to corner offices on the 64th floor of the World Trade Center, and. . . well, you know the rest of that story. Heed the warning not to put your life on hold for a number. Seize the moment to enjoy yourself now. Warts and all, you deserve it. Question: I live in west Bali, and I’m dating a woman who lives and works in Denpasar. We’ve been going out for 6 months. Now, she says she’s thinking to move to my area because she can “see herself living here more.” It feels as if she is planning to invade my space. Why is she doing this? Can I tell her no?

Dr. ZZ: Obviously, you’re feeling as if your privacy is about to be infringed upon. Although it’s not as if the two of you will be living together, moving to your area is the kind of decision that she would probably do well to discuss with you in advance. Perhaps that is what she is attempting to do. Maybe she threw out the idea to test the waters and see how you’d respond. Worst case scenario, she just wants to get a little closer to you. Best case scenario, she actually does like the area where you live. Since she hasn’t moved yet, who knows if she will. If she does, the two of you will most likely be seeing more of each other. If this makes you uncomfortable, let her know that you’ve only been together six months, and that you don’t feeling comfortable living so close to each other at this time. Six months from now, however, you may no longer have that same excuse. Once you have been dating for a year, the rules change. She’s a big girl, and if she wants to move, she will. If she doesn’t, she won’t. So be prepared because if you’re not ready for this, you’re wasting her time. Copyright © 2013 Say What?

Taman Nusa: Don’t Miss this New Cultural Venue for the Whole Family

Taman Nusa is a brand new cultural complex offering an excellent experience for families who want to find out more about the rich culture of the Indonesian archipelago. We have visited Taman Nusa recently with children and loved our day out in these beautiful surroundings. Situated on 15 hectares, on the hills of Gianyar only 20 minutes after the Taman Safari and Marine Park, it is very easy to find.

Kalimantan with its picturesque wooden houses.

The architecture of the traditional houses of the various islands of Indonesia is impressive and the children had a lot of fun going inside the various houses. The tour is educational and presents the culture of the different ethnic groups of Indonesia in an attractive and interactive way, while enjoying the natural beauty of Bali. Allow at least 2 to 3 hours for the visit or longer if you would like to have a meal there and some relaxing time. You will be invited to walk through Indonesia’s history and culture.

The next section is devoted to the early days of independence with an imposing statue of Prime Minister Gajah Mada. Further on you will find two statues of Sokharno with Hatta in front of the Declaration of Independence of Indonesia. The present day is represented by a miniature train on a 200m2 area whilst the future will be celebrated in two new sections: a modern library and a museum. The library will be hosted in a “sape lidi” or traditional bale symbolizing Indonesian unity and the concept of working together (“gotong royong”). This library will be highly interactive and offer books and modern technology to learn, discover or deepen one’s knowledge of the Indonesian culture. The museum will have three distinct areas devoted to Wayang (puppets), Batik and Ethnography. An exhibition room will allow Indonesian and foreign artists to display their work and representations of Indonesian diversity.

The beautiful entrance has intricate sculptures and a small bridge that will take you to the car park. At the reception you can buy tickets and start your visit by walking down to a hall with an original roof in the shape of a “daun sereh” leaf where you can enjoy the panoramic views of the gorgeous Balinese nature. Two restaurants cater for visitors: Royal Sidan offering international food and Dapur Nusa for traditional Indonesian cuisine. From September a newly built auditorium for up to 200 persons will be the venue for cultural shows on Indonesia. In the hall underneath the restaurant there is a showcase of traditional crafts, ornaments from the various provinces and explanations about the creation of Indonesian democracy. The park is the original idea of a gentleman from Jambi in Sumatra and his family. His aim was to pay homage to the diversity of his country and its unity and to help visitors learn about the richness, traditions and cultures of Indonesia. His dream has come true and Taman Nusa opened on July 10th this year after 7 years of careful planning and development. The park is run by his children and employs around 500 people. His vision to make the history of the archipelago accessible to everyone is a success and a visit to Taman Nusa will be a pleasure for tourists, residents or Indonesian nationals. One of the highlights for us was the skillfully made miniature model of the park in palimaman (white stone), displaying 57 miniatures of different regions of Indonesia from 33 provinces. Further along in the visit, you will also discover a detailed miniature of Borobudur that is well worth the detour, made from stones coming from the surrounding of the actual Borobudur site in Jogjakarta. From there, you can enjoy views of the entire park. Through a cave, you will access the park and walk through the ages, beginning from prehistory, bronze age and the various kingdoms. The visit continues to the cultural village where you can admire the uniqueness of the traditional houses from the various provinces of Papua, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat (sasak house), Sumba, Flores, Bajawa, Maluku and a traditional bangli from Bali. Then, you will discover Toraja and Gorontalo houses from Sulawesi with their cemeteries in stones and continue to

At that point, you will probably be ready for a little rest and you can stop at the café to have a juice, a coffee and a snack. The park employs a group of dancers from the dance school of Batubulan who perform Balinese, Sumatran and other typical dances for the delight of the little ones. Sumatra is the next island on the visit and characteristic houses from Palembang, Jambi and Padang are dotted around the area. Each house is original and was purchased from its region and rebuilt on the Taman Nusa site. The rest of the visit takes you to Toba and Aceh before walking back through Java. The park aims to offer very soon other activities such as dance, interactive cultural craft and music activities for visitors.

When you finish the visit, you might be slightly tired but with a feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction after the experience. Turn round and enjoy once more the views of the rice terraces, the luxurious forest and the Melangit river where you might see rafters down below. The founders of the park also have the interests of kids at heart and their aim is to open their doors to families and to schools. A labyrinth will be built for the fun of all and a play area is planned to open soon. For driving times, allow ± 45 minutes – 1 hour from Denpasar, ± 45 minutes from Kuta, ± 1.5 hours from Kuta, ± 2 hours from Nusa Dua and ± 45 minutes from Ubud. Remember to take hats and sun cream. Umbrellas for the sun are available at the park. Food and drinks are not allowed in the park but you can buy everything inside. The opening times are from 8:30am to 5pm and you might want to choose to visit in the morning and have lunch or in the afternoon when the temperature is a little cooler and when the light is at its most beautiful. All the staff are welcoming, smiling and always available. Families might also want to plan a weekend escapade and combine a visit to Taman Nusa with a visit to the Safari Park and spend a night at the Mara River in the Safari Park or in a hotel in Keramas, Padang Bai, Tirtagganga or Amed.

“Let’s Be Careful Down There!” Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan offer world class diving especially when the sunfish are around from July through October but this is not diving for the inexperienced or unwary. Take precautions! By Simon Pridmore To the south of Bali, sitting like an ill-fitting plug in the mouth of the torrential flow of water that courses through the Lombok Straits, lie a trio of islands, Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida. Seen from Bali, they are a sombre presence in the mid distance. Once a penal colony and surrounded by legends of demons and evildoing, the islands are still viewed by many Balinese with some trepidation. As you approach by boat, you can easily understand why. Walls of rock loom dark ahead; water swirls wildly around you and waves break in mid ocean! But then you see the white sand beaches gleaming in the sunshine, the palm-lined resorts dotted appealingly on the cliff-tops of Lembongan and the feeling of foreboding falls away. Worldwide Fame Under populated and under-developed, the islands offer a taste of the laid-back Bali of several decades ago but their main attractions lie underwater. With clean, clear water, coral reefs and thriving fish populations, the ocean around Penida and Lembongan is a fabulous diving environment. Celebrity animals such as manta rays and reef sharks are often seen but the stars of the show are the oceanic sunfish (mola-mola) that are frequently spotted close to shore during the months of July to October. These distinctively plate-shaped giants are the world’s largest bony fish. Big adults can measure 4 metres tall and 3 metres nose to tail and weigh 2000kg and Bali has attained worldwide fame as one of the few places on the planet that offers reliable sightings. Cold water upwellings bring the sunfish in from the deep ocean to the shallows where thousands of small fish hang in the blue waiting for them. The sunfish stop, rotate their huge bodies until they are vertical, mouth pointing to the surface, and bask motionless while the fish swarm around them picking off the multitude of parasites they have collected during their long ocean journeys. It must feel like a relaxing, healing, soothing massage: (no wonder they choose Bali!) Understandably, many divers have the sunfish high on their must-see list, local dive operators know the most likely places to find them and, as long as no-one gets too close or too excited, the sunfish will sit there for a while allowing endless photographs. International Notoriety Unfortunately, there is a downside, (isn’t there always?) The wonderful images of the sunfish and glowing dive reports posted on-line draw divers from all over the world and many of the folk who come are not prepared. They expect warm, calm, tropical seas – this is Bali after all – but what the impressive pictures of the sunfish do not show is that the waters in which they drift so easily and peacefully are cold and subject to unpredictable and ferocious currents. Sunfish are born to this environment; we landlubber humans are not! Crystal Bay, a protected cove on the north side of Penida is the busiest of the area’s dive sites and plays host to hundreds of divers a day during the sunfish months. Last year, in the middle of the season, Bali attained international notoriety when the police banned diving activities in the bay for a couple of days following a spate of accidents there. Bad Press John Lippmann, Asia Pacific Director of the Divers’ Alert

Network (DAN AP), the world’s pre-eminent dive safety organization, described the situation perfectly in an editorial on the topic later that year. He wrote: “(Nusa Penida) is a popular dive site due to the periodic presence of Sunfish (Mola-Mola.) However, there are some serious potential hazards there for divers, especially inexperienced and/or unwary divers. The area is subject to very strong currents, including substantial downcurrents, which can suddenly force a diver to descend far deeper than planned - and quickly. This has caused numerous accidents, including multiple deaths and severe cases of decompression illness. Divers can be unexpectedly dragged to depth and run out of breathing gas and/or have very rapid ascents when the current eventually releases them. Such downcurrents occur regularly in a variety of sites around the world but most reports that DAN AP has received over the past few years have been from Indonesia………. Unfortunately the safety standards a n d preparedness of dive operators varies greatly and unsuspecting divers sometimes find themselves in perilous situations.” This is not the sort of bad press the tourism industry here needs to be generating. John Lippmann lays the blame for the accidents firmly at the door of local dive operators and it is hard to argue when you look closely at specific incidents, such as the one recounted below. This is the story of a near-miss that almost cost the lives of 8 divers in July last year and, but for a little foresight on the part of one of the divers and a million-to-one chance, would have rocketed Bali to the top of newsfeeds around the world. A Close Call Just before midnight on 7th July 2012, a fishing boat picked up eight divers adrift in three-metre seas off southern Bali. The divers had begun their third dive of the day late in the afternoon, had been picked up by a strong current, become separated from their guide and had surfaced out of sight of their dive boat, which was then forced to return to port after a very brief search because it did not have night-running lights.

Prevention and Precautions The dive centre responsible for putting these people in the water made some major mistakes. Apart from operating a boat that was not properly equipped, the dive began so late that they should have known it would be impossible for the boat crew to spot the divers in darkening seas when they surfaced in fading light. They also allocated too few staff to take care of a group of this size in difficult conditions. If you are diver with dreams of swimming with sunfish, how do you make sure you stay safe? First, choose your dive o p e r a t o r carefully. Look at online reviews, go to diver blogs, get recommendations and, even after you have chosen, don’t be afraid to walk away if, when you turn up, the operation does not seem as professional or well-equipped as it appeared on its website. The Internet can lie! Even on the boat, if the staff don’t seem to have your safety as their paramount concern or something about the set up or briefing bothers you, do what the experienced divers do when they feel that something isn’t right: just sit out the dive and catch up on your sun-bathing or a good book instead. Notwithstanding how good a dive operation seems to be, however, it is sensible to take your own precautions too and carry signalling and s u r v i v a l equipment as a standard part of your dive kit. The following are a few suggestions. Always carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) or safety sausage. Choose long and thin rather than short and fat and go for either fluorescent yellow or fluorescent orange for maximum visibility. Some models have white reflective tape sewn on the top, which can flash in the sunlight and draw a watcher’s attention.

The divers were recovered 20 kilometres from their starting point when the fishermen spotted lights in the water. Their rescue was completely fortuitous. In fact, the captain of the fishing vessel said that normally if he saw a light in the water at night he would think it was another vessel and steer away from it! He had not been looking for them. He was just on his way home from Flores. An official search had been planned from Bali but it was not due to begin until dawn the following morning!

Take a torch with you on every dive. Not only is it useful for peering at things hiding in holes or under ledges; as the lost divers found, a torch can save your life! To make you especially visible, you can shine it up through your SMB to create a kind of “light sabre!”

It was not only luck that turned what could have been a screaming headline into a mere footnote. The divers contributed to their own survival by making two crucial decisions. First, they stayed together, creating a larger, more visible presence in the water and enabling each to take mental strength from the presence of the others. Second, some of the divers were carrying torches, even though they had been on a daytime dive.

A hood is not only useful for keeping you warm in the cold waters of South Bali. It will also protect your head and neck from the sun on the surface. Adding reflective flashes to the hood is a good idea.

These two factors turned the odds sufficiently in their favour to enable them to benefit from the chance encounter with the fishing boat and survive.

A piece of unbreakable mirrored card, (the stuff they use in aircraft bathrooms), makes an excellent daytime signalling device. Point the card in the direction of a vessel in the distance and move it from side to side to catch the sun. A CD will do the job just fine too! Traditionally whistles have been standard dive gear, but these are not very effective except over short distances and even then only if the wind is in your favour. A power horn attached to your BCD inflator hose is much more effective.

One aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the consideration that should be given to the welfare of employees. This entails ensuring that they enjoy a safe and pleasant working environment and that they enjoy a decent standard of living. The obligation does not end there. Should we not also ensure they live comfortably in retirement? We should in theory, but in practice it is not so simple.

even though they have completed their full contributions during their working lives. This applies to pensioners in 123 countries, including Australia and Canada. But those living in other countries enjoy annual increments in line with those living in the UK. There is reportedly a lady living in Australia who is currently receiving a pension of six pounds a week, the same amount as when she left the UK in the 1970’s.

One day I had a call from reception to say that a gentleman was asking to see me. I immediately recognized him as a driver who had worked for an oil company I was with in Jakarta some 20 years previously. After we had exchanged a few pleasantries he broke down and told me the sad story of his life since he was pensioned off. He was now too old to find employment and he and his wife were destitute with no surviving family to help them. I offered sympathy and a little money and wished him well. I then checked with my former company and they confirmed he had been visiting them too.

A global action group is addressing this issue and a branch exists in Bali. If you would like to support it I can provide the contact details.

www.investingbali.com | info@investingbali.com ByPass Ngurah Rai Pertokoan Segitiga Emas A-13 Kuta Bali P. 0361 784-9147 M. 081 - 805 - 671700 F. 0361 234-172

His dilemma must be shared by millions of others who face old age and deteriorating health with no state pension and no company or private pension. When the driver worked for the oil company the only ‘pension’ provided for in the labor laws was a ‘pesangon’ consisting of a lump sum linked to the number of years worked. Where employers were concerned a retired employee was now out of sight and out of mind. But some progress has been made Today, conditions have improved somewhat for local employees in that larger companies now have some form of pension scheme. However, unless the employee has been a member of the scheme for many years the actual pension is likely to be a small one. Whatever the size of the pension, the critical issue then is to what degree, if any, the pension is protected against inflation. If there is no protection and local inflation is running at say 10% per annum the purchasing power of the pension will be halved in just seven years. After another seven years it will be worth less than a quarter and after another nine years just 10% of its original value. If the Rupiah continues to fall at the recent rate the impact on inflation could produce even worse figures. The dilemma for employers As anyone who has considered buying an annuity in the UK or US will know, the cost of inflation-proofing a pension is considerable, even when interest rates are at rock bottom. While big oil companies could absorb this cost in Indonesia it would be beyond the ability of most employers, especially in labor-intensive industries or even small businesses in Bali.

According to all reports, very poorly! It has been estimated that 90% of Americans will not be able to retire adequately on savings and social security. According to a Hartford Insurance Study in 2000 only 1% of Americans would be wealthy by the age of 65 and only 4% ‘well to do’. That leaves 5% still working, 36% would be dead and the remaining 54% dead broke! The retirement crisis in many countries has been aggravated by the scrapping of gold-plated final salary pension schemes and the poor value of annuities due to low interest rates. So what is the solution? Since with the best will in the world neither governments nor employers can provide a level of benefits that would provide everyone with a decent standard of living in old age, what can be done? Employers may not have the financial means to solve the problem but they can take a proactive approach by assisting and educating employees to help themselves. Where local employees are concerned they can provide counseling or seminars covering the basics of banking, saving and retirement planning. Employees should be encouraged to match any pension contributions paid by the company. If the company can afford it they should reward loyal staff by assisting them with affordable loans to purchase a property, no matter how small. Owning a property is one way to counter the impact of inflation.

Most people seriously underestimate how much they will need in retirement. What if you have left it too late to save? There are some measures left such as clearing debt, delaying retirement or working part-time, trading down a property for a smaller one and so on.

So the dilemma is one of economic reality versus the desire to do the best for workers.

And finally, what happened to the driver who called on me? He came back a few more times until I eventually said I could help him no more. Where he is now, who knows, but he is among millions of others who live from day to day. But for those who have some working years left there may still be time to help them plan for the future.

Yes, but in reality it is a dream beyond reach. The UK was a world leader back in 1948 when its National Health and State Pension Schemes were the envy of the world. But the world was different then; people worked till 65 and died just a few years later. Today, people are living into their eighties and this puts huge pressures on the working force. In Indonesia people have more family support to compensate but even that is diminishing with mobility and urbanization. No doubt a few trillion Rupiah could be freed up if the remaining fuel subsidy were removed but there are other priorities such as education and infrastructure. British pensioners who have chosen to live in Indonesia are victims of an unusual form of discrimination in that their state pensions are frozen from the time they leave the UK,

Where expatriates employees are concerned, they too should have access to appropriate financial advice. When they leave their home countries they generally cease contributing to state and company schemes that would have ensured modest pensions on retirement. Few set about replacing those schemes to fill the inevitable pension gap. British expatriates leaving company or private pensions behind in the UK would be well-advised to consider transferring them offshore to a QROPS while the facility is still available.

The fact is the burden of existing rights of employees already weighs heavily on employers. A colleague of mine who managed a large factory said that business was booming and he could add another 300 workers but he dare not because it would be difficult and costly to lay them off when there was a downturn. The simple solution would be to hire contract labour but that is now illegal. It is unfortunate that many laws, often pressed for by workers themselves, which are intended to protect and benefit workers have the opposite effect in the long run as they reduce future employment opportunities.

So should governments provide pensions and other benefits?

How prepared are Westerners for retirement?

A final sobering thought is that for future retirees there is good news and bad news. The good news is that with improved lifestyles and medical care you are likely to live some 20 years longer than your great-grandfather. The bad news is that those could be years of abject poverty.

Window’s Browsers: Which one is best for you? What would you say is the best internet browser? You’ll likely get the following list – IE, Chrome, Firefox. Those who are more tech-savvy might list Opera as an alternative. Those are the 4 most popular browsers on Windows, but which one is the best web browser? Perhaps none of them. As you can guess, the more recognized a browser becomes, the more bloated it gets in order to satisfy it’s larger user base with different needs. Internet Explorer Is there anyone on Windows who hasn’t heard of Internet Explorer? It is the default browser, after all, though that doesn’t necessarily say anything of its quality. IE fell out of the spotlight back when Netscape was its only competitor, but it’s been gaining back some ground in recent years.

C/CI/G-29 May 13

IE8 was the first to show some promise, but it pretty much failed to deliver. IE9, on the other hand, is quite strong as a browser: fast, responsive, though lacking in the add-ons/extensions aspect that has become so critical in browsers these days. If you’re on Windows 8, you’ll want to use IE10, which is an even better improvement. Overall: A strong browser but not particularly awesome at anything. Great if you don’t need many features, not so great if you do. Google Chrome After Google Search and Gmail, Chrome is Google’s best known product. At the time of writing this article, if you look at the 2013 browser rankings, you’ll see that Google Chrome is ranked in the #1 spot, beating out nearly every browser on this list. If that isn’t a strong enough endorsement, then I don’t know what is. Chrome is known for the way it handles its tabs: separated into different processes so that a crashed tab won’t crash the whole browser. There are tons of extensions that improve the browser’s functionality. And best of all, updates are performed automatically and behind-the-scenes. A big downside is that Chrome uses a ton of RAM (memory) resources. Overall: Absolutely excellent if you have a powerful computer with lots of RAM. On weaker machines–like netbooks and tablets–you may run into speed and loading issues when using a lot of tabs. Mozilla Firefox I have fond memories of Firefox. I first started using it when it first came out–it was called Firebird back then–and it was an impressive alternative to IE5. Firefox has been working on cleaning up some of its issues, namely memory leaks and RAM hogging, and it has one of the largest add-on libraries of all the browsers. Yet it falters when it comes to speed. I have a powerful machine but tab animations and web scrolling are still clunky. Overall: If you want a full-featured and extensible browser that isn’t as resource-intensive as Chrome, then Firefox may be your cup of tea, but you should know that it isn’t as polished as Chrome is. Opera Opera is packed full of features. Packed! In addition to doing what all browsers are expected to do, it has a built-in mail client, built-in ad blocker, cross-computer profile syncing, mouse gestures, speed dial, as well as extensions for extensibility. Some users like this all-in-one sort of package. Others call it bloated. Surprisingly, it’s fast–but how much faster could it be without the bloat?

Overall: I like Opera. I would use it permanently if it didn’t bug out on Google’s web products like Google Docs. I’d highly recommend it if you prefer a mainstream browser other than Chrome and Firefox. Midori Now we get to the lightweight browsers. If the mainstream browsers are growing bloated with feature creep, then Midori is the response. It’s a minimalistic browser that only has built-in features that are absolutely necessary. Though Midori does have the function to install extensions, the actual pool of available extensions is quite small. Being so lightweight, it is a niche browser, so don’t expect the community to grow much larger in the future, either. On the plus side, it uses very few resources. Overall: If your computer is severely lacking in processing speed or RAM, then Midori is what you should use for maximum performance. I use Midori on my old netbook and it is blazingly fast compared to the other, larger browsers. My Conclusions What’s my final verdict? I use Chrome for daily browser use (mostly because I interface a lot with Google web products and Chrome works best for that). Tip of the Week: Trick for Accidental Mouse Clicks We’ve all been there: we click on something that we didn’t mean to and it get’s closed or deleted! The next time you catch yourself clicking on something that you didn’t mean to click on, do this: Don’t release the mouse button and drag the mouse to another part of the computer, then release the button. You just erased the errant click! ============================================================================================ Have a question or problem? Write me at BaliPCAdvisor@Gmail.com.

ARDEN DOCTOR

Organic Ways to Stop Aphids

‘Dear Dr. Kris, I have found an infestation of green aphids on the new foliage tips of my potted Calla Lilly plants, and also on my bromeliad flowers. They literally appeared overnight, there are so many I am worried that they will get onto my other plants and into my vegetable garden. I had a marvellous rosebush destroyed by them a few years ago, and really don’t want this to happen again. I was wondering if there are any organic home made remedies or easy ways to get rid of the aphids off my plants quick. I would rather not use a chemical pesticide. I would be very gracious for any ideas or tips, thanks in advance. Dav from the Bukit.’ Aphids can definitely spell trouble for your garden and you must get on top of any infestation rapidly, as aphids can quickly destroy even large plants and trees. Plants suffering an aphid infestation will exhibit inward curling leaves and deformed shoots. Aphids themselves are tiny pear-shaped soft-bodied insects, typically about 2-3 mm in length. They are usually pale green, yellowish, red or black, but can colours can vary depending upon where you live. The big problem with aphids is that they particularly like to feed on the new growth of plants, damaging leaves, stems, and flowers in the process. They will suck the sap from the stems and leaves of your plant and in the process severely weaken plant. They will also spread diseases as they move from plant to plant. Even worse they reproduce quickly, (approx. 1 week) and they will devour a plant until it is destroyed, then develop wings in the next generation and fly off to the next plant. A single aphid can produce up to 80 new aphids each week and they don’t need to mate to reproduce. In summation they are a Darwinian nightmare for gardeners, literally the perfect plant killing machine. Regular inspection of your plants is essential to keep aphids at bay. It’s far easier to get rid of a few bugs than an established colony. When they lay eggs, you can detect them in piles of white sacs on the underside of the leaves. When aphids feed they secrete a sticky substance called honeydew. You may notice this on your plants as well or the ants crawling up and down the stems harvesting it. The honeydew is a byproduct of the aphids, and the ants like it so much they will protect the aphids from predators and start farming the aphids, transporting the bugs to new plants! On many occasions aphids are spotted when the ants are noticed going up and down the stems of plants, a sure giveaway. They usually congregate in clusters so once they have infested your plants they will be easy to spot. Beware that the honeydew they excrete can also cause sooty mold to grow, causing further problems as if there already weren’t enough! Aphid infestations can destroy an entire plant, and they will

spread to surrounding plants, so you are right in trying to eradicate them immediately. Taming an aphid infestation can be difficult, but will be much easier if spotted quickly, early detection is important. They can do frightful damage in such a short period of time just by the sheer numbers of them chewing and sucking the sap out of the leaves of plants. The good news is that there are several simple organic methods for dealing with the problem. Here are a few of my favorites. 1. If you have a small infestation, simply wipe the aphids off with your hand or a soft cloth. Check back every day and repeat until you stop seeing them. 2. A simple and effective way of getting rid of aphids is to spray your plants with a fast jet of water. The water will knock the aphids off and they will generally die before they can climb back onto the plant. Again, you’ll want to repeat this after a couple of days if you see any more aphids on your plants. If your plants are delicate or likely to be damaged by a jet of water then this may not be an option.

C/Ho/G-4 Sept. 13

3. If it is only one section of the plant that is affected then snip it off and drop it into a plastic bag or bucket of soapy water, and wash off the tools that you used. 4. Use a home-made pesticide spray. Combine a litre of water with 200 mls of vegetable or cooking oil and 3 tsp of dishwashing liquid and mix well. Transfer this into a hand spray-bottle. Spray this onto the leave, stems and the undersides of the leaves. Make sure the aphids get a good coating of the liquid. The soap washes off the aphid’s protective waxy coating and causes dehydration. The oil in the mixture clogs their respiratory system, inhibiting their ability to breathe, and also helps the soap to stick to their body. Reapply this mixture after it rains. Another natural remedy is to use tomato leaves. Tomato leaves contain alkaloids which are deadly to aphids. When the leaves of tomato plants are chopped, they release the alkaloids, which can be suspended and diluted with water. They make an easy to use spray that is toxic to aphids, but still safe around plants and humans. Use two cups of chopped tomato leaves. Soak the leaves in a litre of water overnight, and then strain the mixture into a spray bottle. Spray your plants with the tomato leaf solution and the aphids will die quickly, repeat applications may be necessary until you get the problem under control. If using these solutions on edible plants, be sure to wash them before eating.

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz)

I wanted to do something different with cauliflower. After experimenting, I added broccoli on the second go round for more color and interest but you can easily do it with just one other vegetable. This is an easy dish to assemble and the roasting transforms cauliflower to a new level of taste. How can you go wrong with capers, rosemary, olive oil and garlic? Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic, Capers and Rosemary Serves 3-4

- 2 Tbl. capers, coarsely chopped - 2 Tbl. parsley, finely chopped - 1/2 tsp. lemon or lime juice - 1 Tbl. extra virgin olive oil

- 1/4 cup roasted cashews or other nuts Directions: Preheat the oven too 350 degrees F. Into a glass or ceramic baking dish large enough to hold the ingredients add the cauliflower, broccoli, salt, pepper, garlic, shallots, olives, rosemary and thyme. Sprinkle the olive oil over the ingredients and toss well to coat with the oil.

C/Ho/G-29 May 13

Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the cauliflower turns golden brown and both the broccoli and cauliflower can be easily pierced with a fork.

Ingredients: - 300 gr. cauliflower or one large head, cleaned and cut into flowerettes - 200 gr. broccoli or 1 head, cleaned and cut into flowerettes - 1/2 tsp. salt - 1/8 tsp. pepper - 5 cloves of garlic, skinned and left whole - 5 shallots, skinned and left whole - 10 black olives, pitted and cut into quarters - 1 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped (you can substitute dried rosemary if fresh isn’t available) - 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped (you can substitute dried thyme if fresh isn’t available) - 2 Tbl olive oil

Remove from the oven and put the roasted veggies into a bowl adding the capers, parsley, olives, lemon juice and 1 Tbl. of olive oil. Toss this well and put onto a serving dish sprinkling the cashews over the top. I like to leave them whole but you could also coarsely chop them. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.

“Pretty Bubbles In The Air” I remember a time, not that long ago, of the “Great Australian Dream” - the notion of all Australians owning their own home. At that time most people did in fact, but times have changed and the circumstances of ordinary people are not what they were. The dream has faded quickly as wealth has redistributed. As some of the people become more wealthy they want to buy a second house as an investment, a safe place to put their surplus money. They have the money to pay more and so house prices have risen in line with what these people are willing to pay and, sadly, out of the reach of less fortunate people. For many in Australia these days the dream is gone and the only housing option is to rent. This is a continuing trend and property ownership is increasingly becoming the preserve of the wealthy. Then, of course, increasing house prices mean increasing rents. The less fortunate end up being the victims of the wealthy. In England, a place that historically had a substantial gap between the advantaged and the ordinary folk, home ownership was always a major issue with 40 year mortgages very common until eventually (not that long ago) someone realised the banking industries game and let the cat out of the bag. If you pay only a little bit more off your mortgage each week you will reduce your mortgage term dramatically. Combined with this personal disposable wealth is considerably more than after the war years and levels of home ownership have risen. Even so traditionally rent has always been quite a large proportion of household expenditure. Let us quickly look at house prices in England and Australia and how they have changed in recent years compared with average incomes. Note the figures have been converted to US$ so we are not comparing apples with Aunt Mary’s goitre. England

We see that while house prices have almost doubled in both countries over a recent 10 year period gross pay has risen by less than two thirds in Australia and less than a third in England. It will take over 11 years of paying your whole income to buy a house, once you add interest it becomes impossible. Australians are better off but in both countries it is getting more difficult.

In some areas, the price increase was far higher. “Land prices near beaches in Seminyak, such as Legian, Petitenget and Batu Belig, experienced the highest jump compared to other areas in Bali; increasing by between 50 and 87.5 percent”. The average gross earnings for the average Indonesian in Bali is probably around Rp24,000,000 per year while land price (without the house) is now getting to 20 times that cost for only a 100 square metres - effectively beyond the reach of most Balinese people. A key factor here is that the difference in wealth between the rich and poor is many times greater in Bali than in countries like England and Australia. But surely if prices keep increasing in the double digit percents something has got to give hasn’t it? Both the World Bank and The Central Bank Indonesia have been warning that the bubble (or is this more like a boil) is likely to burst. They are taking steps to try and arrest the spiralling prices by managing interest rates. Will this have the desired effect? Certainly in Jakarta where much of the property is in the form of apartments bought using mortgages it might but what about Bali?

above the perceived value of land will the bubble burst. Many experts think it will. Already things are starting to fall apart. Real estate agents are struggling to find buyers in an oversupplied market, a market that will steadily become more overstocked as more and more unsold property piles up. In addition the Rupiah is falling and confidence is being lost. If a bubble is coming property prices will fall so it might be that now is the time to cash in the investment if you can mange to find a buyer, there again it might be a better bet to go to a long term investment strategy. So what about the impact for the average person who wants to build a house and live here or perhaps rent it out. Here are some possible costings: Typical House Building Costs

Low Cost House

Land area

It is often assumed that much of this money is coming from overseas, and probably some of it is. Though foreigners cannot own freehold titled land I have heard of several who have bought up huge tracts of land.

This is a difficult flow of cash to stem and perhaps interest rate control might not solve the problem. There is also the suggestion by a Balinese economist, Professor Dr. Wayan Ramantha that money laundering is the reason for much of the rapid development. You have surplus money you want to hide, where do you put it? - In a hotel of course. If the hotel loses money it doesn’t matter - making money isn’t the purpose. Buying a hotel is a place to put money but, more importantly, a way that people can explain where their increasing wealth is coming from. These people are likely to pay whatever they need to get a hotel without any regard for the resulting increase in land prices, for the traffic jams caused by their rampant development or, as a result of price wars, the damage caused to the local hotel industry.

Even so it is far more likely is that much of the inflow of wealth is coming from Jakarta in the hands of wealthy people who want to put their money somewhere.

It is reasonable to assume that much of the money coming into Bali is not in the form of loans. It is in the form of ready cash in the hands of people who want to put it into something a little more dependable than the financial world whose credibility is just a tad tarnished of late.

Note: m is for million Rupiah These are simply notional figures of course, it is very difficult to get meaningful information here in Bali, every piece of land is different and building costs are increasing all the time. What they suggest is, as has been stated by Property Consultants Frank Knight, that the prices of property no longer reflect the value. They also suggest that the calculations don’t appear to work any more. The price of land has increased so rapidly while finding buyers has become more difficult to say nothing of the extensive supply of condowhatevertheirlate stnameis’s.

This is an almost impossible flow of money to stop. Anyone got a pin? A lance perhaps?

House prices have continued to rise even though they are getting beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is becoming harder to get into property ownership. As the gap between the wealthy and the not so wealthy widens ownership is the privilege of fewer and fewer people and more and more people are moving from home ownership to rentals. So what relevance is this to the real estate world in Bali? England and Australia are relatively calm compared with the silliness we are seeing in here. Bali has the highest rate of increase of land prices in Indonesia. According to recent research average land prices in Bali increased 34 percent during 2011, while the normal increase rate was only around 8 to 16 percent.

There are other curious factors that don’t help. This is a place where the usual laws of supply and demand don’t work. If the number of customers goes down the logic is there are fewer customers so you have to make more money from each and so prices are increased. This is also a place where once a price is expected people will not reduce their asking price, they will sit on empty property for years rather than reduce their price. As a result of all this prices are increasing dramatically and the impact for the Balinese people is disastrous. They are losing ownership of their island and can never hope to buy it back. The question is with land and property prices rising way

It has been some years since I wrote about a cluster of smart shops found in this vibrant city, so here goes again....retail continues to hit some high notes from catchy artisanal product to super special imported eyewear. How many times do we travel and have no idea where to shop, so this rundown is just a mere handful of great shops with super product that I encountered along the way. Not only for expats re-visiting their home town but Bali visitors heading off down under, am sure they will be glad to be in the know on shops in areas worth a peruse. Paddington to Woollahra is a popular beat all the way up from the city. Walk the entire length of Oxford Street where you will pass an amazing selection of shops. From the kooky, kinky, eclectic and modern all the way to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Paddoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The stores take a turn to cool designer, sharp and smart where you come upon Glenmore Road well known for galleries and speciality stores. Here lies one favorite, Easton Pearson Collection Summer 2013 is directional, distinctive, eye catching, avant garde, color, pattern, loads of detail ( beaded & embroidered ) plus heaps of excitement! This Australian fashion label is worth consideration if you are in Sydney and lust after a few new pieces for your closet, they also showcase some super stylish jewelry.

TOKO BUKU by Bill Dalton

Bali The Ultimate Guide by Linda Hoffman Bali The Ultimate Guide is an updated and revised edition of the bestselling guide that gives the latest information on what to do and see on this famous tropical island. This comprehensive one-stop guidebook contains both detailed descriptions of the sights and facilities with maps and photos as well as wellinformed articles by experts who present the most important aspects of Bali’s history and culture. Don’t expect a lot of pretty pictures and colorless laundry lists of things to do and see. This book’s aim is to cram in as much information as possible about where to stay and eat, how to get the best deals and where to find the most deserved hidden corners – in every price range - with little room left for many page devouring photographs. In the introductory essays, The handpicked list of contributors is like reading a roll-call of the most distinguished scholars and lay authorities on Balinese history, archaeology, ethnology, musicology and performing arts - Urs Ramseyer, Hedi Hinzler (LU), Adrian Vickers, Michel Picard, David Stuart Fox, Garrett Kam, Danker Schaareman, Rucina Ballinger, Wayne Vitale, Larry Reed. I was heartened to read their names as I hadn’t even realized some of them were still kicking and turning out first class historical surveys. The essays on history, rituals, food, textiles and painting are thorough and erudite. Courtly literary genres, revolutionary literature, modern print and electronic media and a discussion of the many intricate levels of speech used in the Balinese language are subjects not usually dealt with in guidebooks. The book’s coverage of dance, drama and music is one of the most complete I’ve ever come across in the guidebook format. In the guide’s nuts and bolts travel sections, which comprise nine-tenths of the book, all the insider detail, opinionated commentary and intimate multilayered knowledge of Bali’s customs, entertainment, where to shop, tourist facilities, destinations off the beaten path and respect for the culture make it obvious that the writer has lived, worked and traveled extensively in Bali and Indonesia. This is not information gleaned from cellphone and telephone interviews, Trip Advisor comments, secondary or tertiary sources or from looking out the window of a tour bus. The book’s detailed full color maps, covering regions as well as smaller areas like Ubud and Kuta, deserve special mention. Maps of popular tourist destinations include clearly marked hotels, restaurants, markets; dive centers, medical clinics, temples and other attractions. Each map is placed where they are most needed, so you don’t have to flip back and forth trying to figure out where you are or where you’re going. The color scheme makes them easy to read. The guide’s maps are actually drawn right out of the latest 2010 edition of the Bali Street Atlas, published by the same

publishing group, which was produced according to worldclass cartographic standards. Using the two-page island wide map in the front endpaper and the other two-page key maps in all of Bali’s main geographic areas, the user is able to locate larger scale area and regional maps. The book’s 40 maps are conveniently listed in boldface type in the index.

In addition, the guide includes a useful larger scale pull out map of the whole island kept in a pocket in the back. Unlike the 2010 Bali Street Atlas, the guide and the supplemental foldout map do not use a number-letter grid system to find streets, buildings and villages. But a word of warning: buy the actual physical book and not the Kindle edition because the maps do not display properly on the Kindle and are way too small to see and there is no way to enlarge. Not being able to refer to the maps renders the book’s content much less helpful. Bali The Ultimate Guide covers Bali’s hotels and restaurants arts and crafts, ritual celebrations and ceremonies, music and dances, food, markets, craft villages, significant temples, volcanoes and beaches off the beaten track – just about everything about the island that is worth experiencing supported by personal recommendations from experienced writers. The chapter on the impact of tourism details the development of the industry from its earliest beginnings in the 1920s and the World Bank’s Master Plan implemented in 1971 to the unchecked explosion of tourism and economic development over the past five years. The book’s assessment on whether tourism has been a bane or boon and the acute ambivalence the Balinese have about tourism is honest and insightful. The only issue I have is use of the word “paradise” in the book’s title to characterize the island. Bali is an extraordinarily unique place, but a paradise it is not. With over 40 years visiting, leading tours, living and working on the island, I feel that Bali does not qualify for that most fleeting of accolades since at least the 1960s. Indeed, Bali’s road congestion and ever expanding urbanization and tourism infrastructure make a guidebook of this high standards all the more indispensable. The guide could have also used a summary of highlights either in the front of the book or on the first page of each travel chapter.

Ubud Area UBUD ANNIE’S RECYLING Plenty of us mutter about Ubud’s waste, some even have constructive conversations on how to reduce it. Occasionally, individuals get on with doing their bit to help, on their patch. Check out the signage for Annie Canham’s mini recycling depot directly across the road from the Bintang entrance. Annie got the nod from her landlord to use the space, talked with her staff to decide wording for the signs and had signage carved from some spare recycled wood by local carver, pak Made Sudira. The containers have no lock, so anyone in the neighborhood can put their recycling there, or take what they want out of the bins. Nice one Annie! For signage: Pak Made, suparleni@gmail.com/ 08113881820. CHASING COOLTONES If you want to dance or simply listen to blues classics, you can’t do better than follow Coco and the Cooltones around Ubud all week. This tight group, whose repertoire has been honed and tested every Monday night for the past year at Café Lezat, now also shares its smooth sound at Royal Pitamaha on Tuesday, Café Mokpo’s Warung (hidden behind the Arjuna statue) some Wednesdays, Siam Sally in Pengosekan every Thursday, Oops Restaurant opposite the Market on Friday, Coffee and Copper in Nyuh Kuning on Saturday and Laughing Buddha, Jl Monkey Forest on Sunday night. If you’re lucky, you may be able to snap them up for a private function, such as the recent Singapore Day dance party at WowBali Farm in Mas. Call Coco on 081999 382 769 to book your own cool tones. MOZAIC BEACH CLUB Who else has had one of those “where do we want to go?” beach expedition conversations, amongst a group of Ubud friends whose sense of adventure and luxury varies wildly. A perfect choice now is Batu Belig beach – near Canggu – thanks to a smart move by Ubud’s celebrated five star restaurant, Mozaic. Batu Belig already had good white sand, little warungs with reasonable food, fairly clean ocean, sociable surf, boards for hire and no crowds. Now there’s a bit of comfort close by, for anyone in the party who prefers their sun baking on a cloth covered mattress with a pool alongside and a waiter with cocktail menu close by. Mozaic Beach Club has a daytime tapas menu and evening fine dining in spacious surrounds with a glorious view. There’s talk of an actual “club”, with Bali and international memberships, member benefits and tailored networking events to suit different professions and fields of interest. Meanwhile, the rest of the family can surf and catch some sun. Jl. Pantai Batu Belig, Kerobokan; www. mozaic-beachclub.com. BIKE ATTACKS Not a nice topic but women travelling by motorbike around Ubud should be cautious at night, especially if they are on their own. There have been several recent reports of young men who pull up alongside and reach over to grab the woman’s bag or body – both equally intimidating! This isn’t normal Ubud practice; it has been a safe place for a long time, but it seems as we may be seeing a new kind of young idiots’ “rite of passage”. Of course it is very frightening and can be dangerous even if the man means no real harm, as the woman in question speeds up or swerves to avoid him. So far in: Nyuh Kuning, Jl Monkey

A united approach to stopping this could begin by every one of us visiting our local “klian banjar” or head of village to discuss in general (they often don’t hear about what’s happening in other parts of Ubud), reporting any incident to them, putting it in the context of the other attacks around town. For instant personal defence, there are recipes for pepper spray online and all Ubud supermarkets sell cheap, tiny perfume spray bottles that can be kept in a bag or pocket and squirt a long way.

OOPS, I LIKE THAT I’m a foodie on a budget, so the two words delicious and inexpensive are a delightful combination. Oops Restaurant, opposite the old car and bus park for the Ubud market, has a great menu with some tasty choices including great spring rolls, a tangy prawn entrée and the best chicken quesadillas in town. Serendipity was working so the Friday night, Annie’s birthday, pre-Gong Show dinner coincided with Ubud’s best band – Cooltones – playing some very swingable numbers. Naturally, one of the guests was swing and jive teacher Davis Richardson – et voila! Wayan Jen smiles again, and takes another turn around an Ubud dance floor. Fabulous evening all round. 50K DINNER? – LEZAT! Ubud has many great places to eat but prices can quickly add up, and then they hit you with tax and charges, so congratulations to Café Lezat (it means delicious) for their nightly 50,000rp all inclusive price dinner special. The cook has selected a different set-menu combination every night; including garlic bread, a main course (chicken cashews, tuna stead, beef paprika for example) and a yummy dessert (such as pineapple fritters, coconut pancakes, black rice pudding). Lezat has a great atmosphere and live music with fine cover bands several nights a week. For more information, find Lezat Ubud Bali on Facebook. 45 Jl Sukma; 1 kilometer south of Jazz Café.

IRREVERENT YOGA Thanks to visiting teacher “Guru Dudu”, who recently offered Ubudians a taste of his hilarious, tongue in cheek yoga sessions. The simply curious tried a one-hour Happy Yoga class - a hilarious parody, it’s yoga meets disco – while new devotees took the “8 Limbs of Happy Yoga” half-day workshop. Guru Dudu’s creator is David Naylor, an Australian “yogic comedian” whose notoriety began with his first zany comedy show at a Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Bless you David for bringing an oft-needed dose of flippancy to our sometimes too-precious yoga world. Check out “8 Limbs of Happy Yoga” poster, with its 100 illustrated Happy Yoga poses, including Grooveyama (connecting your natural flow with the groove of life) Fashananda (fashion the world we really want from our passions,) and Assananda (where we play “let go of our waste”).

David Vann: Redemption Through Writing By Renee Melchert Thorpe David Vann, American born writer living in New Zealand and teaching in the UK, is one of our headlining guests at Ubud in October. His self-exile from the US, alone, should make him a good draw at the Festival. He’s like an expat’s expatriate. Both his father’s horrific suicide by gunshot when Vann was an adolescent, and his own active, adventurous life have fueled his five books with raw experience. Deer hunter, honor student, lecturer, yachtsman, dot com entrepreneur… Vann’s amazing repertoire doesn’t show signs of slowing down. Goat Mountain is his new novel, rolling off the presses for a September release. I caught up with him in the run-up to his appearance at Holland’s Lowland Festival. He’s engaged in five more festivals before Ubud’s, and, having just read the galleys of Goat Mountain, I can predict academic and popular success. The story vividly explores the aftermath of an accidental shooting, and amidst recurring blood and violence, the boy and three men involved reveal both Godliness and degradation. Guns themselves are exposed as simply a good way to kill people. Vann challenges the reader to work out how man in his current condition can possibly deal with guns, death, and an American’s license to wield an instrument of such power and destruction. Biblical references, particularly to Cain, the murderous son of Adam, are used liberally, yet it is not a pro-Christian story. Here is our interview. RT: The story has a strong thread of what it is to be a man. Any opinions about Robert Bly, author of Iron John, which thirty years ago launched a movement of men reclaiming their manliness? DV: I went to one men’s group meeting in Palo Alto, CA in the late 1980’s, where they liked and talked about Robert Bly, and I didn’t like the group at all. There was one man talking about getting custody of his children, and I was thinking it might be best if he was kept away. I didn’t like, either, that the men’s group used “power objects,” including guns. They were supposed to be spin-offs of women’s group meetings, “consciousness-raising,” but they seemed to me to bring out only the worst, so I never went back. And I think the whole idea of the initial pain of losing the foreskin is just ridiculous. So I’ve only made fun of men’s groups in my writing. RT: Cormac McCarthy... you must be an admirer of his. Have you met him? DV: I’ve never met Cormac McCarthy, since he basically meets no one, but he’s my favorite American writer (and second favorite living writer, after Gabriel Garcia Marquez). My favorite is Blood Meridian, which I’ve read six times. I think it’s the single greatest American novel, an inferno set in the southwest, saying American was born in war and has a future of endless war, and it’s the best example of our rural regional tradition of landscape writing, in which literal landscapes are extended into figurative landscapes and the inside life of characters is found externalized in place. This is how I write, the landscape a kind of Rorshach test, a place for the unconscious to fill. RT: What does it take for an author to write so close to home (your hunting experiences with your father) and make the protagonist (a young boy such as you once were) so powerful, so pivotal, so violent? Are you in some degree exorcising regrettable elements of your own boyhood? DV: The boy is not me, but I think he’s possible, and I certainly killed things every day when I was his age, and I think I was capable of pulling the trigger. I did aim at my neighbors with a loaded gun, as I detail in my nonfiction book about a school shooting (Last Day On Earth). That book shows the nonfiction side of what’s explored in Goat Mountain through fiction. In the fiction, it becomes a larger story farther away from me, about the holy trinity and Cain, etc. I do think of writing as a

kind of exorcism, and all literary landscapes of hell as externalizations of a felt corollary landscape inside, and Goat Mountain is the last of my books to burn away a terrible and violent family history. RT: You rewrite your first published story (about hunting with his father) and come full circle! What does this mean for future work and inspiration? C/U/I-17 Oct 12

DV: It’s true this is returning to the material of my first short story, written more than 25 years ago, titled “Buck Fever.” It was about hunting on that land and wounding a buck and having my father’s disapproval afterward. It was also about his suicide. Goat Mountain no longer has anything to do with suicide, and the father is not the antagonist (the grandfather is instead), but I do feel I’ve come first circle and finished where I started, returning to what first made me write. When I finished Goat Mountain, I had a wonderful sense of being done writing about my family and history. RT: In my reading of Goat Mountain I see the futility of blaming guns for murder, but because I won’t let myself imagine you as that boy, I don’t want to believe that you as its author would view the human race as basically bad at their core. DV: I do actually blame the easy availability of firearms for our high gun death rate in the US, and I’d like to repeal the 2nd amendment, since we no longer have any other path available toward gun control, because of a Supreme Court decision in June 2008. But you’re right that my book isn’t about gun control. It’s about the legacy of Cain, about what it is in us that makes us want to kill, and that remains mysterious to me. I had to think about it a lot when I wrote the nonfiction book about the school shooter, and when I was working on Galen’s descent in my novel Dirt, and then reflecting on my own hunting background in Goat Mountain. I have no answers, of course, but I don’t trust anyone with a gun. I would be okay with the idea of giving guns only to women and not allowing men to have any guns. That might make the world safer. But men and guns never makes the world safer. The US military has not made anyone safer, and our US veterans are the ones most at risk for becoming killers as civilians, so they shouldn’t be allowed to own firearms. This is, of course, an unpopular view I have. I was called the devil by gun rights groups in the US, and not a man and un-American, and told to leave the country, which I did.

RT: You must be a well-liked teacher; you’ve had a lot of different teaching positions in so many universities (Cornell, Stanford, to name two). What tools do you use to draw out the writer in your students? DV: I actually don’t have any teaching materials or outlines or plans. I prefer just to have conversations about the texts and about language and style, etc. The closest I can come to what you’re asking is to recommend an out-of-print book titled Linguistics for Students of Literature. Latin and linguistics are the two most helpful things to study if someone wants to write in English.

C/U/G-26 June13

RT: You’re slated to speak in the festival’s Through Darkness to Light session, which is the theme of this year’s festival. How do you feel your work relates to this theme? DV: Through Darkness to Light is similar to the slogan for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which I worked with in the SF Bay Area. Suicide creates long legacies of shame, denial, guilt, anger, doom, etc. I was an insomniac for 15 years after, told everyone he died of cancer for 3 years after, felt guilty (he asked me to spend a year in Alaska with him and I said no and soon after he killed himself), and was very angry for about 30 years. In the end, though, all that remains is the love. I was so angry because of the love, because I felt it should have been enough that I loved him. That should have been enough reason for him to stay. So my own experience in life is that terrible legacies can end and we can have second chances and reshape our lives, and all that was darkest can turn into what’s best in our lives. I think of writing, also, as essentially redemptive, trying to turn the ugly into the beautiful and the meaningless and random into the coherent and meaningful. C/U/G-17 April 13

Sail 2 Indonesia Rally 2014 Announced

Yet another high profile international sailing event in Indonesian waters has been announced. In an exciting development the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and the New Zealand based Island Cruising Association have reached agreement on an event that will see skippers from New Zealand and beyond cruising through Indonesia’s unique waters. Under the banner of Sail 2 Indonesia 2014 the organisers hope to encourage skippers from New Zealand, the eastern seaboard of Australia and solo world cruisers in the West Pacific to join in what can only be described as a fantastic opportunity to cruise through some of the best sailing grounds in the world. Yachts from New Zealand and nearby Pacific islands will depart from Opua (NZ) in early May 2014 and cruise through Anatom, Vila, Santo, Mackay, Whitsundays and Townsville to muster at Magnetic Island in North Queensland in late June 2014. Likewise any interested yachties from the eastern seaboard of Australia are welcome to the muster and join in the fun. From there the Sail 2 Indonesia 2014 fleet will sail north to Cairns and then through the Torres Straits with the entry point to Indonesia being Saumlaki. Solo yachties intending to sail through Indonesia around that time are encouraged to get to Saumlaki by 28 July 2014. This will be the beginning of a three month odyssey through the Indonesian archipelago. Welcome ceremonies are planned on the route and are a great opportunity to meet and greet the locals. At present over 50 Skippers have registered their interest to participate in this exciting new event.

What about the Customs Bond? But are these events based sailing rallies the only way to attract skippers to Indonesian waters? What about the thousands of yachties sailing around the world. How do we get these yachts to visit Indonesia and if they do how do we encourage them to stay awhile rather than merely use Indonesian waters as a transit stop on the way to Singapore, Malaysia or Thailand which are considered much more sailor friendly. The recent Presidential Decree of 79 of 2011 that simplifies the regulations relating to visiting yachts is a step in the right direction. It is part of the government’s aim is to try and attract 10 000 yachts per year to Indonesian waters. But there is still a great deal of confusion about the Customs Bond. There are some horror stories out there and headlines flashed around the world of visiting yachts being impounded for not paying a Customs Bond of a 100% value of the yacht don’t help. The current customs regulations are generic and apply to all vessels transiting Indonesian waters. There needs to be specific regulations drafted that apply solely to visiting yachts rather than lumping them in with oil tankers, big passenger liners or other ships at sea. At present to comply with the current customs regulations a visiting yachtie has to have a Mensa mind to complete the process. The sticking point here is the guarantee that has to be provided that the yacht will not stay in Indonesian waters and will exit at the time they are required to. At present a guarantee

can be given by the Central or Regency Governments for big sailing events or by a Marine Agent if you are a yacht entering Indonesian waters on your own. The Marine Agent is also required by the regulations to go to the entry point of the visiting yacht to start the customs process and is also required to go to the exit port to finalise the clearance. If the yacht slips out of Indonesia without telling the Marine Agent then the agent may incur a loss. So invariably what happens is the Marine Agents are reluctant to help or bump up their fees to cover any risk. The easiest way around this is to get the Skippers to guarantee themselves and increase the penalties if they breach the regulations. Not many skippers would want to have their yacht impounded for good after all they are often their pride and joy and ticket to getting out and staying out of the rat race.

What about the Pirates?

Time after time in interviews I have had with yachties they say that their Indonesian experience was much better than they had anticipated with majority acknowledging that it was the Indonesian people’s warmth and outlook that made their experiences memorable. But unfortunately there is still a perception in some parts of the international sailing fraternity that consider Indonesia a scary place to cruise and is full of pirates. It is difficult to pinpoint where this fear originates from. Students of maritime history that have read the journals of Captain Matthew Flinders RN (16 March 1774 – 19 July 1814) and the remarkable Admiral Phillip Parker King, FRS, RN (13 December 1791 – 26 February 1856) will note their paranoia of the infamous sailors from what today is called South Sulawesi. It is a bit of a stretch for us to believe that these highly experienced Royal Navy officers were frightened of anything given that these were extremely brave men to be doing what they were doing at the time in navigating and charting unknown waters miles away from their own people. Maybe they had an eye on trying to generate interest in their offerings and to increase the popularity and commercial value of their journals. But perceptions are slowly changing and events such as Sail 2 Indonesia 2014, the annual Sail Indonesia Rally, the Back to Down Under Rally, the recent and highly successful Fremantle to Bali Yacht Race and Rally 2013 and the fact that the Fremantle Sailing Club’s Ralph Newton organised a post-race and rally event called Beyond Bali that saw a number of skippers head east to cruise slowly from Bali through east Indonesia and then back to Fremantle, show the increased awareness that Indonesia is rapidly becoming a new must see sailing destination.

Restaurant Review

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

Relaxing at the Seaside! Echo Beach Café is directly behind the temple at Echo Beach at Canggu [in the shadow of the new massive Sea Sentosa], but not to be confused with t h e l o n g established Echo Beach House. It is at the end of its own paved road just before the beach road. It is café by day and restaurant by night. Start with their all day breakfast, many options but the Big Breakfast is an Aussie special with the works [2 eggs, baked beans, grilled tomato, sausage, bacon, mushrooms and toast]! Or you can have Eggs Benedict if you prefer? A simple breakfast can be Banana Bread Toast or a Ham and Cheese sandwich or croissant. For me an Omelette filled with beans, bacon and cheese. International snacks and light meals and a selection of standard Indonesian dishes feature in their lunch menu. Sandwiches, plain or toasted, with a variety if fillings are provided on a wide range of breads; white or brown, sourdough, baguettes, wraps or rolls. There are a few Pizzas including the Aussie favourite, Hawaiian [ham, cheese and pineapple]. Bangers & Mash and Fish & Chips are standard fare on any seaside menu for English speakers and then there are Hot Dogs and Burgers for those influenced by the USA. Whilst there two different menus, for day and night, most dishes are available at either time, so always check the other menu. A special menu for the children; chicken nuggets or grilled chicken strips or fish fingers with chips, a mini Pizza [Aussie Hawaiian of course, with ham, cheese and pineapple] and the mandatory Hot Dog! The Gelato is on the way!

Dinner time and the restaurant cuisine becomes more Asian with an interesting range of dishes. From Thailand Kai Thot Takhrai [served in boneless strips, chicken marinated in lemongrass with an accompanying dip], Tod Man Pla [fish cakes], the ambrosial soup Tom Kha Gai, Pik Kai Sot Sai Thot [stuffed chicken wings, actually they are what is usually referred to as drumlets, the meat shoulder part with wing bone attached for easy eating, accompanied by a tangy kitchen produced BBQ sauce, very good] and the Thai version of Chicken and Cashews. Add a few Thai stir-fry dishes that they have and you almost have a full Thai menu as found elsewhere in Bali. Many of the dishes are those found regularly and very popular in the many Thai restaurants of suburban Sydney. From Japan a starter of Gyoza [dumplings, stolen from the Chinese and improved on by the Japanese, of chicken and vegetables first steamed then pan fried on one side only], Ramen Noodles with chicken or a Katsu Curry. Chicken Karage salad and Beef Sukiyaki which is not so often seen in Japanese restaurants in Bali. As in Japan it is more often served only in a specialty Sukiyaki House. From China, Hainan Chicken Rice [pictured] a dish that is becoming almost international, the chicken steamed and simmered in a special broth and the same broth used to prepare the unique rice. You have never had chicken this tender, moist and tasty! Indonesia has many snacks/entrees on both lunch and dinner menus, one that is commonly available but rarely done as well as here is the bergedel-like Corn Fritters, these are full of kernels and perfectly moist, and a version of Martabak, these being small squares wrapped in a thin crunchy pastry, perfect for snacking! Then for mains there is that wonderful Opor Ayam [chicken breast in coconut milk] or the spicy Ayam Kalisan and from Bali the classic Ayam Betutu. Sumatra’s Beef Rendang nicely spiced and Ayam Bakar grilled marinated chicken. Fried Rice is offered all three ways, Indonesian, Thai or Japanese. Fresh, clean and friendly and all at budget prices.

04 September - 18 September, 2013

Update Nirvana is one of Bali’s quiet achievers! It is located on what is supposed to be the wrong side of Eat Street [most others on this side run on empty], Jln. Laksmana, Kerobokan. What used to be Lotus Grill 4 years ago has been the ever full Nirvana ever since, and they have just taken over their next door neighbour [Divine Wonderland] to double their frontage and add an outdoor bar with a popular street front bench. What is Nirvana’s secret when so many other places struggle? Simple cuisine, what I call ‘comfort food’, dishes that most tourists recognize and feel comfortable with, at budget prices with friendly smiling service, and of course at a consistent quality level. Top of their list are their steaks, all available in four different sizes so as to cater for all. The Entrecote with Café de Paris sauce [pictured] was one of the best [and cheapest] I have had in Bali. Steak au Poivre is another popular option. The Duck Breast is a surprise, perfectly cooked pink as it should be, cross sliced and drizzled with a balsamic sauce. Hungry men regularly go for Nirvana’s Mixed Grill [grilled tuna, beef and prawn with chicken sausage]. Even the entrees here are a bit old fashioned, but tasty and popular. How simple is a Vol au Vaunt, filled to overflowing with a chicken ragout with mushrooms?

Uma Cucina has been slowly emerging from behind the protective street-front wall of the Uma Resort, Sanginggan, Ubud, for some time. Now the secret is out and the very successful Nicolas Lazzaroni moves from just down the road at Bridges, where his kitchen product created a restaurant that was an overnight success, to be the opening Chef de Cuisine at Uma Cucina. He is a young chef but rich in talent. The mark of a great chef is being able to take simple ingredients and produce a show stopper…this he successfully did with his simple Roasted Beetroot entree, stuffed with goat cheese crème! It became the 1st dish ordered for many returning guests at Bridges. Now he is able to return to his Italian heritage and I am sure that whilst many dishes may be traditional they will have a modern ‘Nicolas’ twist! We await with expectation the opening of Uma Cucina later this month. Warisan goes to Rio! Warisan is 22 on this Saturday, September 14, and a massive celebration, Brazilian Carnival style, is planned. Warisan has worn many hats in those 22 years but was the ground breaker in being the first successful fine dining restaurant outside the protective custody of a 5 star hotel, back the 1990’s when it was surrounded by rice paddies and the approach road was totally devoid of traffic! It offered Vietnamese and then Italian before it established itself as a home to French cuisine.

Ginger Moon is located on Eat Street [Jln. Laksmana] in one of the most attractive fitoouts in the street. This is the 3rd attempt to establish a successful restaurant here and this time it seems to be working, after the ill fated L’Entrecote [how many tourists want to come to Bali to dine Table d’hote, just a Steak and salad?] and then Daniels. Now Daniel Vanneque [the man who created Café Warisan] has been joined by Australian chef Dean Keddell who brings some of his signature dishes with him such as the tasty Half Moon Steam Buns, stuffed with Bali’s Babi Guling + lawar or Ayam Pelalah [shredded chicken with lime and chilli]. Other interesting dishes include Dumplings [prawn, ginger and spring onion] and unusual pizzas [babi guling or Peking duck]. Grocer & Grind have continued their expansion [after Jimbaran] taking on Bali’s most difficult market to crack, Sanur. Next stop with this express train appears to be the new Sea Sentosa project at Echo Beach, Canggu. In the past some successful places have hit a brick wall with rapid expansions. The original Grocer & Grind in Kerobokan was a case of right thing in right place, at the right time. As the many villa owners and renters who were flocking to the Seminyak/Kerobokan/Canggu areas [predominantly Australian] immediately took to the West Australian coffee house that served a different style of Mod Oz cuisine, and most importantly a decent cup of coffee. Whilst the Deli did not survive, extending the cafe into that air-conditioned area was a winner. The new Sanur Grocer & Grind on Jln. Danau Tamblingan [central, close to Hardy’s] is an open space offering much of the same although they have deviated from the original script by installing a wood-fired pizza oven at front…no traditional pizzas as all on the list are GG creations [pesto chicken with bacon and avocado, others with chorizo or meat balls]. Sandwiches on real bread [rare roast beef with roasted peppers and tamarind chutney], an interesting Panini combine rosemary chicken with a pesto mayonnaise whilst the Gruben is their version of America’s Rueben, pastrami and coleslaw, dill pickle and mayonnaise. Vin + is an unusual name, but one that is well known to Jakartans. It is a wine retailer housed in an impressive buildlng at the very end of Jln. Laksmana where Raya Petitenget begins. On display is an enormous range of international wines [they even stock my all time favourite red wine, Cos d’Estournel, but at 3 millon plus it is well outside my pocket limits these days!], Whilst wine retailing is their main business Vin + is also about to open a modern trendy all day style restaurant on the open terrace area adjacent to the wine showroom. Their young Italian chef is currently developing the International menu that is certain to include a few Italian specials from his southern Sicily. Gus’s Gallery & Café is on Jln. Danau Tamblingan, Sanur [in the small off-road shopping centre that has survived the stand-off with the illegal investor who fenced the area causing many months loss of income for the tenants]. Gus’s has replaced Maural Dreams Bistrot which was operated by a French lady who lost her dream and went home to France. It is simple food in a relaxed atmosphere. Gus’s Snack Set combines their most popular entrees, chicken nuggets and chicken wings with some fries, perfect for snacking. The Roast Chicken uses thighs, much more taste than breast. The Chinese Noodles are a full meal, they are combined with thinly sliced chicken, mushrooms, meatballs and minced pork, a bowl of chicken broth on the side. Soto Betawi brings Jakarta street food to Bali; diced beef, potatoes and onion simmered in coconut milk. For dessert there is a full range of western cakes; tiramisu, black forest, cheese and a dark chocolate mousse. Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com

ParacelsusAsia

Stop! Do You Know Why Rotterdam is Important? Your Life could depend on it, is one good reason to know…

Who would have thought that locked up in the vaults of one of the world’s top academic institutions in Holland lie the secrets to life and death for large numbers of us? On the one hand, a deadly virus that, if it ever got out, would make the 20 million dead from the 1918 ‘flu pandemic look like a walk in the park and on the other, what’s now known simply as The Rotterdam Study, which stands to save countless lives. ParacelsusAsia explains why this research is so important… Let’s all hope that the H5N1 avian influenza strain, now successfully modified to be transmissible between mammals and which could change world history greatly for the worse, never leaves the bowels of the medical faculty at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam. Let’s concentrate rather on what has become known in medical circles as “The Rotterdam Study”. The results of both projects stand to save numerous lives. The difference is… in the case of the H5N1 research we hope it never has to, while the Rotterdam Study already is. Conducted over a period of almost 22 years and involving over 13,000 people The Rotterdam Study investigated the factors determining the occurrence of cardiovascular, neurological, ophthalmological, endocrinological, and cognitive diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, aged 45-years and upward. In what is rapidly becoming the most far-reaching piece of medical research over the past quarter century The Rotterdam Study provides us with greatly needed insight into the chronic and degenerative diseases that strike us down from middle age onward and what works to keep us alive. What we’re talking about here is heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, eye-failure and joint disease. The results stand as a clear and present condemnation of pharmacological medicine as currently practiced. The importance of clinical nutrition and the application of functional medicine in the prevention and treatment of these terrible diseases could not be clearer. Pharmaceuticals may alleviate symptoms of these diseases, they do not prevent them and seldom cure them. That is the essential lesson every one of us needs to take aboard. Among the most important of the results is the importance of a vitamin discovered in 1926 but disgracefully under-prescribed over the past 20 years to the detriment of patients by most doctors with the exception of doctors practicing functional medicine. This nutrient is Vitamin K and most particularly Vitamin K2. EFFECTS OF HIGHER INGESTION OF VITAMIN K (Rotterdam Study) Reduction in All-Cause Mortality 26% Reduction in Coronary Artery Disease 57% Reduction in Severe Aortic Calcification 52% Here in brief is what more you need to know about Vit K2: Protection against Cardio-vascular disease, Osteoporosis, Cancer & Dementia (Rotterdam Study) One of the pathological processes that occur with aging is calcification of tissues throughout the body. Arterial calcification increases heart attack risk. • Vitamin K helps regulate calcium balance, keeping calcium in the bones and out of the arteries. Insufficient vitamin K accelerates arterial calcification, while restoring vitamin K2 can help reverse arterial calcification. • Vitamin K shows promise in the prevention and treatment of numerous cancers, including prostate cancer. • Vitamin K2 is often utilized in Japan to halt bone loss and prevent fractures. It can complement prescription osteo porosis therapies such as Fosamax, etc. • Vitamin K2 shows numerous advantages over vitamin K1, including better absorption and increased protection against heart disease. • The MK-4 and MK-7 forms of vitamin K2 demonstrate important health benefits in numerous studies. While the MK-4 form has been shown to support cardiovascular and bone health, the MK-7 form is exceptionally long acting and reaches higher levels in the blood. • Individuals who use Coumadin (warfarin) have long been advised to avoid vitamin K, and as a result, may suffer increased atherosclerosis and osteoporosis as a result. Under a doctor’s supervision, vitamin K stabilizes blood indicators of coagulation in Coumadin users while plus other benefits. • By preventing pathological tissue calcification, vitamin K confers anti-aging effects throughout the body. Higher vitamin K intake is been associated with reduced allcause mortality. • Daily supplementation with vitamin K1 and K2 (in both the MK-4 and MK-7 forms) is crucial for vascular health, bone health, and cancer protection. HOW DANGEROUS IS ARTERIAL CALCIFICATION? Short answer is – very. Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of disability and death in the developed world. Many factors are involved in its initiation and progression. Homocysteine or oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) can initially damage

the inner arterial lining (endothelium). To repair this damage, the endothelium produces collagen forming a cap over the injury site. These collagen caps or plaque attract calcium that accumulates (calcifies) and forms a hard material resembling bone. That’s why atherosclerosis is often referred to as “hardening of the arteries.” Calcification of the coronary arteries markedly increases heart attack risk and insufficient vitamin K2 accelerates arterial calcification. Restoring vitamin K2 levels reverses arterial calcification and functions to keep calcium in the bone, where it belongs, preventing buildup in the arteries. If that were all vitamin K did, it would be one of the most important nutrients for aging humans. Further new research indicates vitamin K2 possesses numerous other benefits. COMBATS RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (RA) Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation and acute pain in the joints and other organs in the body. RA sufferers also have startlingly high rates of cardiovascular disease. Research shows vitamin K2 effectively treats RA in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs. A recent study also showed that vitamin K2 alone or in combination with bisphosphonate drugs (like Fosamax) used for osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis inhibits the osteoclasts responsible for depleting bone mineral density. VITAMIN K2 REDUCES PROSTATE CANCER RISK Doctors in Germany conducted a study examining the relationships between dietary intake of vitamin K1 and K2 on the development of prostate cancer in 11,319 men over an 8.6year follow-up. The research showed that men with higher vitamin K2 dietary consumption had a 63% reduced risk of advanced prostate cancer, while intake of vitamin K1 was not related to prostate cancer risk.

VITAMIN K & COUMADIN? Patients prescribed anticoagulant drugs like warfarin (Coumadin) are often advised to avoid consuming foods containing vitamin K. The theory is dietary vitamin K circumvents the anticoagulant properties of the drug. The horrific downside to this vitamin K deficit is arterial and valvular calcification along with weakened bones. Coumadin the most commonly prescribed blood thinner for heart attack and stroke inhibits the normal vitamin K function in the body resulting in the rapid development of osteoporosis and arterial calcification. Vitamin K is absolutely essential for regulating calcium balance in the body. Ignorance is No Excuse… The past 10 years have shown conclusively the benefits for bone and vascular health; cell growth, regulation, migration, proliferation, and apoptosis; immune support; and suppression of chronic inflammatory factors. And yet, far too many conventional doctors remain in a state of ignorance regarding vitamin K and have no idea of its critical importance to their aging patients. Fortunately, people not taking blood thinners can safely and easily take doses of vitamin K that exceed the miniscule government RDA levels. On the other hand, there appears to be an epidemic of age-related disorders in the general population related to less than optimal intake of vitamin K. The message is loud and clear. The diseases that destroy us do not happen overnight, they creep up on us over time. That means that most of them can and should be prevented. It also means that we are not being well served by conventional doctors who, for whatever reason, remain in thrall to a pharmacological model that’s runaway with itself. We need to inform ourselves as best we can and vote with our feet and our wallets. We cannot be expected to treat ourselves, nor should we. We need expert advice. And that is why, with any medical approach you must always consult a medical doctor, but one I strongly suggest who knows molecular medicine and at least the rudiments of clinical nutrition. Too many, alas, do not.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

LEAD Still Used in INDO-PAINT BaliFokus, an NGO operating out of Bali, has conducted a joint study with the Asian Lead Paint Elimination Project and the International Persistent Organic Pollutants Elimination Network (IPEN). The results are, to say the least, shocking. According to their study, many paint companies operating in Indonesia continue to sell household paints that contain unsafe levels of lead. The study examined 78 samples of enamel household paints, which included 28 paint brands manufactured or sold in Indonesia. Approximately 77 percent of the samples were found to contain lead levels higher than 90 parts per million (ppm), the recommended limit for lead content. The highest lead concentration was at 116,000 ppm and the average was 17,300 ppm. What is lead poisoning? Lead poisoning occurs when you absorb too much lead by breathing or swallowing a substance with lead in it, such as food, dust, paint, or water. Too much lead in the body can cause irreversible problems in growth and development in children, including: • Behavior problems. • Hearing problems. • Learning problems. • Slowed growth. In adults, lead poisoning can cause serious health problems, including high blood pressure and damage to the brain, nervous system, stomach, and kidneys. Although it is not normal to have lead in your body, a small amount is present in most people. Lead can damage almost every organ system, with the most harm caused to the brain, nervous system, kidneys, and blood. What causes lead poisoning? Lead poisoning is usually caused by months or years of exposure to small amounts of lead in the home, work, or day care environment. It can also happen very quickly with exposure to high concentrations. The most common source of lead exposure for children is lead-based paint and dust and soil that are contaminated by it, especially in older homes and buildings. Adults are most often exposed to lead in the workplace or while doing hobbies. Those who work with lead-such as metal smelters, welders, or pottery makers-are at a higher risk of lead poisoning. Other sources of lead exposure include: • Contaminated air (including industrial emissions), water, and soil. • Certain hobbies, such as working with stained glass, building lead-based models, reloading ammunition, or shooting at indoor ranges. • Some alternative medicines and supplements, such as certain vitamins, and jamu. • Eating food or juice stored in cans made with lead or glazed with lead-based glazes. What are the symptoms? There may be no noticeable symptoms of lead poisoning because the effects are subtle or may mimic other conditions. When lead poisoning levels are severe, some general symptoms can include digestive problems, fatigue,

headaches, and higher rates of tooth decay. Children with chronic lead poisoning may show slightly lower intelligence and may be smaller in size than children their age who do not have lead poisoning. Behavioral problems can include irritability or aggressiveness, hyperactivity, learning difficulties, lethargy, and loss of appetite. In adults, behavioral symptoms can include irritability, mood and personality changes, changes in sleep patterns, difficulty concentrating, and memory loss. At high levels, lead can affect the central nervous system, leading to poor coordination, weakness in hands and feet, headaches, and in severe cases, convulsions, paralysis, and coma. C/He/I-29 May 13

How is lead poisoning diagnosed? A lead blood test measures the amount of lead in the blood. Although this test does not measure the complete level of lead in the body, it is the best test available at this time. A urine sample collected over 24 hours and tested for lead can give information about the total lead in the body (body lead burden) and is often used before treatment to remove lead (chelation therapy) is started. (There are no laboratories able to provide blood or urine lead analysis in Bali). Diagnosing lead poisoning is difficult because the symptoms can be caused by many diseases. Most children with lead poisoning do not have symptoms until their blood lead levels are very high. A blood lead test is necessary to identify these children. As blood an urine tests are unavailable here in Bali, hair analysis can be used. Most developed countries have labs that will perform hair analysis by mail. The test is useful for detecting chronic lead toxicity because lead is quickly removed from the blood and stored away in tissues such as hair. How is it treated? Treatment for lead poisoning includes removing the source of lead exposure and eating a balanced diet. Adequate nutrition, especially sufficient iron intake, helps prevent absorption of lead. Often this treatment approach is enough to reduce lead levels in the body. If this is not successful or if lead levels are very high, chelation therapy may be used. Chelation therapy involves taking medicines that bind to lead in the body and help speed its elimination through the kidneys. (Chelation therapy is not available in Bali, however centers in Singapore would be able to provide this service).

Vanessa Goeyardi: Green Team Indonesia

Vanessa Goeyardi was born in the Jl. Gatot Subroto Barat area of Denpasar. At a very early age, her parents passed on to her a love of nature and a sensitivity towards the environment. In early 2013, Vanessa and her sister Patricia founded The Green Team Indonesia (TGTI), a community of children and youth dedicated to protecting the environment. With the mottos “Together hand-inhand we can balance the world” and “Spread the word of kindness,” they believe that they can make the Earth a better place to live for everyone. The Green Team’s aim is also to inspire other children and adults locally and worldwide to become more environmentally aware. How many members does TGTI have? At the moment, we have 16 members in Bali from various schools from grades 3 to 9. We usually get more children to join when we have activities. Pak Dewa Gede Agung Dharmayasa is our TGTI mentor. How do recruit new members? We are totally open to children and adults around the world who are interested in saving the Earth and caring for people in need by doing just a few simple things. We find new members by word of mouth, members recommending friends. Some kids found us through Facebook and other social media or through magazines and newspapers who have published articles and interviews about TGTI.

judge a vegetable by its humble origins. It’s rich in iron and other minerals. You can begin harvesting it within 27 days from when the seeds are planted and it can be harvested up to three times within 4 months. We prefer ‘Land Kangkung’ (kangkung darat) seeds (scientific names Ipomoea Reptans) because they are easier to plant than Water Spinach (kangkung air) seeds (scientific name Ipomoea aquatica). What kind of activities is the Green Team involved in? We do beach cleanups, recycle trash into useful items like lampshades, bags, globes, plant new mangroves, put in kangkung, tomato, onion, turmeric and ginger gardens, explain how to plant and harvest market crops, do environmental educational programs aimed at kids and join competitions. I just won an essay competition held by Tunza-Ecogeneration & UNEP based on my experience with kangkung. An activity close to my heart is teaching English, reading, writing, math and crafts to children at Badung Market one or two Saturdays every month. These kids, anak-anak buruh suwun, carry customer’s goods on their heads. We also regularly visit old people in nursing homes, children with cancer in rumah singgah and blind children in orphanages and where we read stories in English and play music.

I think that indifference is the root cause of Bali’s environmental problems. People are already well aware of all the environmental slogans like ‘Don’t litter’ and ‘Don’t Waste Water and Electricity” and so on, but they don’t really adopt these practices in their daily lives. When we do beach cleanups, we find so much garbage behind Bali’s beautiful white sand beaches – cigarettes butts, plastic, wrappers, plastic bottles and even broken glass! Are politicians and business leaders doing enough to protect the environment? Not really. You can see their non-involvement by more and more paddy fields being taken over for building houses and businesses. Even our precious mangrove forests are in danger of being gobbled up. We are in the process of trying to arrange a meeting with our City Mayor. Hopefully, he will have time to meet TGTI and listen to children’s ideas for a better cleaner healthier safer Bali. C/He/G-4 Sept. 13

What needs to change in order to save Bali’s fast deteriorating environment? Educate children at as young an age as possible! Families must work together to educate their own children first. We all have to work together, hand-in-hand, so that there is the proper balance. Environment awareness must begin with each and every one of us as individuals.

We don’t have a membership fee yet, though sometimes we need donations from members in order to donate money or buy some presents for the people-in-need that we visit.

We hope we can inspire kids and adults globally through TGTI’s blog, which views the world from a young person’s perspective. We hope that one day there will be TGTI branches all around the world that care just as much about the environment as we do.

Diary by Mr. Robet

Only God Forgives Nicolas Winding Refn is a Danish director, who was to have a spectacular success in America with his 2012 movie ‘Drive’. The movie was to make an overnight star of Ryan Gosling. In his latest movie, ‘Only God Forgives’, Refn once again uses Ryan Gosling, though, given the style of the movie, Ryan’s performance is much more subdued and stylized. In the sleazier side of Bangkok, a series of dreadful mutilations and killings are taking place. A western drug dealer and his mother are mixed-up in the events, but, they are soon to learn that the Bangkok police have their own way of dealing with drug dealers. Actually, the plot in Refn’s movie is rather slight, and, not all that important. What this movie is all about is the incredible atmosphere that Refn creates. Every scene is beautifully staged, and, every image is superbly framed and composed. All of these images are rendered in an amazing array of throbbing neon colors. Nicolas Winding Refn’s movie is a great piece of ‘arty’ cinema, yet, it should gain, and deserve, much ‘general public’ support.

does a foreign accent. That’s about as much as you can say about the movie.

The Canyons This movie has a rather interesting pedigree. The director, Paul Schrader, created the controversial movie ‘American Gigolo’ (1979), and, the script for the movie comes from author Bret Easton Ellis, who wrote the notorious novel ‘American Psycho’. So, as you can imagine, ‘The Canyons’ is a rather bold mix of sex and violence. In the exclusive mansions, located in the hilly canyons of Los Angeles, live the power-brokers who actually keep the wheels of Hollywood’s film industry turning. It seems that these ‘movie types’ like to indulge in all sorts of sexual mind games. The film focuses on one particular movie producer, and, his concerns over the faithfulness of his mistress. Dire consequences eventually take place. Paul Schrader and Bret Easton Ellis present startling depictions on their thoughts about Hollywood.

Rushlights A woman masquerades as her dead friend, and tries to claim an inheritance.

The Lifeguard Disillusioned by her life in New York, a journalist returns to her small country town, where, to fill in time, she takes a job as a lifeguard at the local swimming pool. At the pool, she is to meet some local teenage boys, and, they quickly come to an agreement. She will provide them with alcohol, while, in return, they will provide her with marijuana. Booze and drugs will eventually lead the lifeguard into a sexual relationship with one of the boys. Writer and director Liz W. Garcia makes a strong movie, with a powerful and unusual feminist point-of-view. Kristen Bell and Mamie Gummer star. No In 1988, the military dictator of Chile, General Pinochet, is forced to hold a referendum to decide on his continuance in power. The Opposition party leaders asks a successful advertising executive to head their campaign. With their every move being monitored by Pinochet’s watchdogs, the advertising executive and his team come-up with a forthright plan. Pablo Larrain makes a good movie, which reveals the power of the media to sway public opinion. Odd Thomas A teenage boy is gifted with paranormal abilities, however, he is plagued by visions of a disaster, which is due to occur shortly in his small town. Stephen Sommers’ movie is simplistic, and, will have most appeal with adolescents. The Hardy Bucks Movie While travelling in a campervan to attend a soccer match in Poland, a group of Irish lads get up to all kinds of naughty and racy mischief all over Europe. G.I. Joe, Retaliation After being framed as traitors, Dwayne Johnson and his crew of commandos have to prove their innocence. There are lots of gun-shots, bomb-blasts, and general explosions in director Jon M. Chu’s well put together action movie. Fast & Furious 6 Vin Diesel and his crew of criminals go on another international caper. As usual, there are lots of great car chases in this sixth installment of the series. Killing Season In some remote woodlands, a Serbian man hunts down a retired American soldier, to take revenge for some injustices he felt he endured during the Bosnian War. Robert De Niro does Robert De Niro, while, John Travolta

The Devil You Know It is quite outrageous that Jennifer Lawrence’s face and name should be plastered all over the DVD cover of this appalling movie. This has to be one of Jennifer Lawrence’s first screen appearances, for she is only in the movie for just on 10 seconds, playing a much younger version of the Leading Lady.

Ugly and Over It Australian tourists get a bad rap in Bali. In some ways that’s understandable. The appalling behaviour of some of them in the more licentious parts of the tourist strip and (to be brutally honest) the astonishingly gauche naivety of a lot of them rather grates. But not all Australians are like that. We’re not all like that, rather. The Diary is a citizen of the Special Biosphere; an elective one having been born elsewhere. We didn’t like the botherboots immigration official all those years ago who reluctantly observed the requirements of the visa and stamped the Pommy passport, but we got over it. Perhaps he did too, the silly duffer. So criticism needs to be measured on the basis of the observed misbehaviour of the Doh brigade in Kuta and Legian. There’s not a lot worse than a crowd of beer-bellies in vests of a certain brand – or any brand – toting gulp-as-you-go beer bottles down the street; or for that matter their uncontrolled infants and pre-teens having screaming hissy-fits. But that’s the mass market for you. Neither is it only Australians who lurch around drunk and half naked in public. Other westerners do this too. That said, as an interesting discussion on the Australians in Indonesia LinkedIn group recently showed, there’s reason to feel discommoded. In the old days – ah, the old days, in the Republic of Nostalgia - there were certainly scruffy surfers and seekers after truth and certain other substances. But there were not nearly as many, and they weren’t all crammed into a Patpong of pubs getting slammed and eying off the rent-girls, real or fake, or trying to injure themselves on gazillions of rented scooters. The huge growth in tourism has benefited large numbers of Balinese and the other Indonesians who have moved here to get a piece of the action. It’s moot whether what has resulted is an example of the law of unintended consequences, though that law is about the only constant in Bali. Cheap air fares and an oversupply of low-cost holiday accommodation practically guarantees high uptake, especially when for many Australians it’s far cheaper to get a passport and an international air ticket to Bali than it is to holiday at home. We now all know about the Australian rite of passage called Schoolies Week. It’s a staggered affair – no, that’s not a pun – with dates that vary from state to state. We mostly get West Australian school-leavers, off the leash in very large numbers, in November. It’s such fun. Luckily most of them stay in Fleshpot Central and leave the bulk of the island to the rest of us, who like a bit of peace and quiet; and good manners.

Change, Please

respect it is depressingly normal, in the way that sheltered bureaucratic workplaces in Indonesia and other places often are. Its lack of any distinguishing features, as a public bureaucracy, should not however shield it from criticism voiced by concerned non-recipients of its sole product, water. The Cage is situated on the Bukit, which suffers from being at the end of a long, rickety and thoroughly overwhelmed reticulation system. Here, we frequently pay for “hair” – as an Italian neighbour told us once in an excess of over-aspiration – because when there’s no water in the pitiful bit of pipe that reaches our location, the air pumped into it to keep it “open” makes everyone’s pay-by-the-click meters whiz round even faster. We’re fortunate to have a 5000-litre in-ground tank into which PDAM water trickles from time to time. For a little while recently we were getting water overnight – not a lot but just enough – that kept the tank more or less topped up. We knew it wouldn’t last. And sure enough this beneficent regime was soon replaced by a lengthy drought. Oddly, or perhaps not oddly, the new Big Dry followed closely upon the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day that PDAM finally got around to repairing the broken main nearby. They have probably wasted their time. Some clumsy truck will run over it again. It is more or less slapbang in the middle of the trafficable part of the track that passes for a road, after all. PDAM is keeping up with some aspects of technology. It has a website page on which you can leave feedback. But oddly (again) this never seems to appear. Perhaps we should not be too disheartened. It does point to the possibility that someone might be reading the messages received.

Jailhouse Rock Tricia Kim, Nagacia jewellery designer and indisputably our favourite New York Korean chick, got on to us recently about an event with a very good aim: a charity night organised by IDEP, the NGO that delivers training, community programs and media related to sustainable development through permaculture and community-based disaster management, to help fund a permaculture garden at Kerobokan Prison. Convicts are generally in jail for offences that warrant their removal from open society, but – Surprise! No! Really? – this neither deprives them of their human rights nor strips them of their humanity.

Taking Us for a Ride

So we keep small change around the place to pay bills – such as for example laundry bills – in the exact amount due. At last report, Rp 100 and Rp 200 coins were still legal tender. Products and services (e.g., laundry services) are even priced in these ludicrously small amounts. It was therefore a surprise recently to learn that the local laundry we use – because so far it hasn’t lost too many of our things or returned too much in a tattered, faded or colour-changed condition – would really rather not bother with the very small change. Rp 500 was the smallest denomination they would take. Well tough. They’ve now got the message that either they take the money we give them or we’ll take our business elsewhere.

And it was there that the FPI staged another of its risible public relations failures. It rode around Jakarta’s thoroughfares, attempting to raise the mob as it does, in expensive American Jeeps. The capital’s twitterfreaks had a field day and good for them. Most Indonesians have a very clear view of the pernicious extent of the FPI’s agenda. For some reason this event brought to The Diary’s mind the alluring lyrics of a seriously seductive 1974 pop-rock song, Midnight at the Oasis. Specifically these lyrics:

PDAM – the government water monopoly whose acronym should surely be PDAMN – is far from a curious public institution. It goes about its business as it likes, which effectively means it frequently doesn’t bother. In that

There was to be dancing (not at the jail – the fundraiser was at La Finca at Hotel Tugu and was supported by Canggu Rotary) and an auction of artwork donated by the Prison Art Education Program. The bash was on Aug. 29 and the toe-tap and wallet-rummage crowd paid Rp 300K to get in with 10 percent of bar takings also going into the kitty. We’ll catch up with the result next time.

The way you hear it, everyone’s on their beam-ends in Bali. They’re all scratching for the last rupiah; they’re all on the very edge of the precipice of privation; and they’re all quite unable to find a couple of spare rupes to rub together; that is unless they’re lawyers, in which case they’ve probably already got everyone’s last rupiah. And that discounts the real poor – the unfortunate rakyat miskin who have seriously missed out on Bali’s boom times and for whose interests we should all look out. We understand this situation. It is not dissimilar to our own circumstances, give or take a western perception or two about what actually constitutes deprivation. No one (here, there or indeed anywhere) seems to give a toss about the circumstances of those trying to live on the earnings of retirement savings rendered catatonic by low interest rates and the taxing proclivities of governments, which everywhere claim seizure rights over people’s funds.

Water Woes

C/He/I-12 Dec 12

The FPI is a fundamentalist movement that promotes a hard-line version of Islam and is entitled to do so, since Indonesia is a democratic country that constitutionally recognises several religions and guarantees freedom of political expression. Its leader, the über-repressive Rizieq Syihab, was recently here with some of his supporters to persuade Bali to ban the Miss World Pageant. We don’t know exactly what he was told by the Bali authorities, who are not Muslim, but we’re hoping it went something like this: “Back on your camel Rizieq. We’ve already got them to drop their bikinis and that’s as far as we’re going.” Having succeeded in getting the hump (though he will have recorded it as a triumph of advocacy) he returned to Jakarta, rather quicker than if he had chosen to travel by large non-indigenous ruminant.

Local News Dangerous Lead Levels Found in Indonesian Household Paints Most paint companies operating in Indonesia continue to sell household paints that contain unsafe levels of lead, a study by a national NGO has revealed. The study examined 78 samples of enamel household paints, which included 28 paint brands manufactured or sold in Indonesia. Approximately 77 percent of the samples were found to contain lead levels higher than 90 parts per million (ppm), the recommended limit for lead content. The highest lead concentration was at 116,000 ppm and the average was 17,300 ppm. “Exposure to even small amounts of lead can reduce a child’s intelligence and school performance and can also cause behavioral problems,” Yuyun Ismawati, an adviser with Bali Fokus, the NGO that conducted the study, said Friday (23/8). “High levels of lead in paint are a cause for serious concern, not only for families, but the country as a whole.” Bali Fokus works to tackle environmental and urban development issues in Indonesia. Lead paint has been banned in most of the developed world for more than 40 years, and its negative health effects last a lifetime and are irreversible, said Ismawati. Exposure to lead paint damages a child’s intelligence and

mental development even when there are no obvious or clinical signs of lead poisoning, according to the World Health Organization. There is no threshold level for harm; even the smallest amount can be damaging. BaliFokus conducted the study jointly with the Asian Lead Paint Elimination Project and the International Persistent Organic Pollutants Elimination Network (IPEN). The groups are calling on the government to limit the total lead content in paints to 90 parts per million. “Ninety ppm meets the world’s strictest standards and would allow the paint to be sold anywhere in the world,” Ismawati said. “This switch would be a good example of sustainable production and consumption cross-cutting all sectors targeted in the 10Y SCP Indonesia,” he added, referring to the national 10-year program on sustainable consumption and production that was launched on June 5. IPEN is a global network of more than 700 public interest non-governmental organizations working together for the elimination of toxic pollutants. Lead paint analysis is currently being implemented in seven countries — Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand — with European Union funding over a five-year period.

Newly Invented Family Planning Pills For Men To Be Produced in Indonesia Soon Newly invented family planning pills for men from a plant, locally known as Gandarusa, will be mass produced in Surabaya in the middle of next year, a researcher from a Surabaya university said. Research has been carried out and completed and the extract from the plant had been handed over by state Airlangga University (Unair) to the state pharmaceutical company Indofarma, according to Dr Bambang Prajogo, a researcher from the university. “That means the pills will be ready to go to the market very soon,” Dr Bambang told Antara news agency here on Sunday (18/8). The family planning pills would be a kind of herbal medicine and it has been tested on humans, he said. “We have carried out research over the past 28 years since 1985 and it was finished in 2013,” he said. The research was completed over a relatively short period of time, adding that in other countries, such research could take up to 100 years. He also said that the research had been very costly as the plant was found in the remote areas of inland Papua. Bambang went on to say that his interest in starting research began when he knew the plant had already been used by local people to delay pregnancy. “I carried out research in four phases. The first phase of research was carried out generally on people of no particular category, followed by a second phase on fertile age pairs,” he said. In the second phase, research involved 120 pairs of fertile age couples with the men taking the pills everyday in 108 days. “The result was 100 percent successful with no pregnancy among the 120 women,” he said.

In the third phase, research involved 350 fertile age pairs with men taking the pills every day in 30 days and the result was 99.96 percent successful, he added. “Then I handed over to the industry,” he said, “I would have continued with the fourth phase cutting the days of taking the pills to 15 days.” He said in Papua, the traditional people use Gandarusa plant only with interval of several hours. “Distribution of the pills would be made in cooperation with the Family Planning Board (BKKPN) and dispensaries with a doctor’s prescription so as they may not be misused,” he said. PT Indofarma president Elfiano Rizaldi said distribution of the Gandarusa family planning pills for men involves Unair, Indofarma, and BKKBN. “The extract already handed over is only a sample. We have yet to carry out test on industrial laboratory scale which normally takes 3-6 months to be followed with stability test,” Elfiano said. In the process of stability test, Indofarma would seek registration with the food and drug watchdog (POM), he said. “Normally the distribution license for herbal medicines comes easier. God willing, next year the license would be issued and the pills could be distributed to the people,” he said. He said the family planning pills for men will be in capsules and the distribution would be in cooperation with BKKBN, which has the networks. Distribution of the pills in the public would depend on the BKKBN as the distribution of family planning pills for women also began from the same agency, he said. (August 18th 2013)

Greenpeace Says Indonesia’s Marine Resources Threatened Greenpeace Indonesia says Indonesia’s rich marine resources are facing various threats that could cause a decline in fish stocks in the country’s waters. “Indonesia’s fish stocks have continued to drop due to degradation and overfishing,” the non-governmental organization’s sea campaigner Arifsyah Nasution said in a press statement received here on Wednesday (14/8). He said the threats on marine resources include destructive fishing practices, climate change, coastal development and mining projects. As an example he referred to a multinational mining operation in Papua that dumps more than 200,000 tons of tailing per day to rivers and the sea. “Until 2006 the company is estimated to have dumped more than three billion tons of tailing,” he said. Greenpeace has raised the threats faced by Indonesia in its report titled “Indonesia Sea is in Crisis”. “Greenpeace is conducting a sea campaign in Indonesia to preserve the country’s richness in marine resources,” Arifsyah said. (August 14th 2013) Russian Hiker Found Alive after Missing for 6 Days on Active Indonesian Volcano Searchers in Indonesia have rescued a Russian hiker who was missing for six days while climbing the country’s most volatile volcano, an official said. Yevgeny Luchina, 25, went missing Saturday (10/8) while climbing the southern side of the 2,968-meter (9,737-foot) Mount Merapi, a popular site for visitors on the main island of Java. He sent a text message to his Indonesian girlfriend saying he had lost his way and asking to be rescued. Teguh Supriyadi, a spokesman for the local search and rescue agency, said Luchina was found Thursday in weak condition with some bruises. Eight search-and-rescue teams comprised of 68 people, including soldiers from a special army force, were mobilized to look for Luchina, whose footprints where discovered Monday but rescuers were unable to track him. His location at an altitude of about 2,000 meters (6,560 feet) was discovered Thursday morning, but rescuers needed four hours to reach him because of a deep ravine separating them. (August 15th 2013) New Airline to Launch in Bali NAM Air, a subsidiary of Jakarta-based Sriwijaya Air, has received a flight permit from the Indonesian government and is now in the process of obtaining its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC). And Sriwijaya’s CEO, Chandra Lie, was reported saying this week that he is confident the new airline will commence services in the near future. “We are optimistic that this carrier will be able to start providing its service by the end of 2013,” Chandra said. “We have mapped out which areas we are going to enter first and we are weighing options on the type of aircraft we plan to use.” According to its flight permits, NAM Air has been given the right to operate up to 300 routes, including 20 to international destinations. NAM Air will to become the latest in a series of Asian hybrid airlines, offering low-cost fares and a limited range of services, such as in-flight snacks. (August 15th 2013) Indonesia-Australia Relations Getting Better Bilateral relations between Indonesia and Australia are now getting better, said Indonesian Ambassador to Australia and Vanuatu Nadjib Riphat Kesoema in Canberra on Saturday (17/8). “In fact, bilateral relations between the two countries are considered the best in history,” said Nadjib at a function to observe the 68th anniversary of Indonesia’s Independence Day on August 17. In a press release on Monday Nadjib noted that both the countries are working hard to improve inter-community and business relations to boost cooperation. Nadjib pointed out that Indonesia faces challenges in the following areas: economy, politics, and social culture. “The hard work of Indonesians has paid off, and today, Indonesia is considered one of the world’s economic powers,” he said.

National Health Security to Cover all Indonesians & Expats The Indonesian government will launch health security program to cover all Indonesians and expatriates after working in the country for at least six months. The program called National Health Security (JKN) will be managed by a Social Security Operating Agency (BPJS) to be launched in January next year, Supriyantoro, the secretary general of the health ministry, said here on Thursday (22/8). “All Indonesians are required to be JKN members by paying contribution to BPJS,” Supriyantoro added. Supriyantoro said the program will cover all diseases and that by 2019 at the latest all Indonesians will be members of the BPJS. (August 22nd 2013) 550 Deaths on Bali Roads Each Year There are 1,500 traffic accidents per year with an annual death toll of 550 people, the Bali Police and Bali Land Transportation Agency (Dishub Bali) has stated on Thursday (22/8). According to the Head of the Bali Police traffic division Comm. Pol. Beno Leohennapessy and Dishub Bali Chief Standly Suwandhi the traffic accident death toll averages out to two people every day. Indonesia’s statistics as a whole is around 109,000 accidents, with 25,000 fatalities and material losses as high as Rp 222 billion each year. Most traffic accidents were attributable to a combination of human error, prevailing road conditions and vehicle roadworthiness. Consequently, the government and security agencies, especially the police, have launched National Road Safety Week 2013 to try and reduce the number of road accidents, said Beno. (August 22nd 2013) Indonesia to Host Miss World Despite Muslim Council Objection The Miss World beauty pageant will go ahead in Indonesia next month despite objections from the country’s leading Islamic federation, an organizer said Tuesday (27/8). “We have obtained support from the government so there are no obstacles,” said Syafril Nasution, corporate affairs director for RCTI, the organizer and official broadcaster of the event. “Since the beginning, we have made it clear that the event will not feature bikinis, or make use of anything that is against religious and cultural values,” he said. “So we don’t really understand why there are still objections.” Amidhan Sabrah, chairman of the Indonesian Council of Ulema, said it was opposed to the event because it objectified women. “This kind of events turn women into a commodity and that is against Islam,” he said. “Maybe in the West it’s not a problem, but it should not be part of our customs.” The semi-official council consists of religious scholars representing the country’s various Islamic organizations. The Miss World Competition will be held in Bali during the first week of September with the final gala evening scheduled for September 28th in Sentul, on the outskirts of Jakarta. Last year, authorities in Jakarta refused to issue a concert permit for eccentric American pop diva Lady Gaga following protests by hard-line Muslim groups that said her stage act was pornographic.

Abott Says Bali Bomb Victims to be Compensated

Bali Rejects Virginity Testing for Schoolgirls

Tony Abbott stood with victims of the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings on Tuesday (27/8) morning in Newcastle to announce his determination to have them compensated within 100 days of an Abbott government. Mr. Abbott said the people standing beside him – Tony Purkiss, Paul Anicich, Clair Marsh and Peter Hughes – were among about 300 Australians who had suffered because of terrorism from 9/11 onwards aimed against westerners. He justified the legislation on the grounds that victims of crime in Australia were compensated and that the terrorism was aimed against Westerners. Mr. Abbott will this morning pledge financial compensation to the victims of the Bali bombings and other terrorist attacks since 2001. Some 26 people including three from the Hunter were killed in the attack when suicide bombers exploded devices at a Jimbaran Bay restaurant on October 1st, 2005. Mr. Abbott, who was on holidays in Bali at the time of the attacks, worked closely with Mr. Anicich in the subsequent years on a compensation package. He proposed a private members’ bill in 2009, but withdrew it in 2011 after Labor moved its own legislation. Although this was eventually passed, it was not retrospective. Mr. Abbott said last night that it was ‘‘incumbent on us as Australians to ensure some level of justice for these victims’’. (August 27th 2013)

Bali Child Protection Agency (LPA) has stated that it disagrees with the proposal for virginity tests to be carried out on high school students, as proposed recently by the Education Department in Prabumulih, South Sumatra. LPA Bali secretary Suharyati said that virginity testing is no guarantee of how ethical or moral a student’s attitude may be. “This is not an accurate method to pinpoint errant girls so it’s not a suitable benchmark,” Suharyati said on Tuesday (20/8). “What is more important is to educate children from an early age so as they can determine what is ethical and moral. Educators should also be more concerned with ethical and moral behavior than virginity testing,” she added. Furthermore, Suharyati said, virginity testing of students is likely to have an adverse psychological impact on child rape victims. Some victims might be able to come to terms with the violation eventually, but those who cannot are likely to be traumatized in a situation where virginity testing has become routine.

Corby and Lawrence Miss out on Independence Day Remission Schapelle Corby and Renae Lawrence unexpectedly missed out on a six-month remission of their Bali drug sentences during Independence Day celebrations on Saturday (17/8). The remission, which would have advanced Corby’s official release date to October 2016, had been recommended by Kerobokan jail chief Gusti Ngurah Wiratna to the Justice Ministry in Jakarta. When the names of prisoners who had been awarded remissions were read out on Saturday, 36-year-old Corby was not among them. Nor was Renae Lawrence, serving 20 years for her role in the Bali Nine heroin conspiracy, whom the governor recommended for a special eight months remission because of her leadership role among Kerobokan inmates. However Mr. Wiratna said sentence cuts for the Australian women have not been refused at this stage. He believed decisions had been delayed by the backlog of paperwork involved in the annual task of remitting thousands of Indonesian prisoners to mark Independence. “When I spoke to Jakarta last night they were still in process.” (August 17th 2013) Fast Boat Catches Fire off Karangasem Coast The Ocean Star Express, a fast boat that runs from Padang Bai to Gili Trawangan, caught fire at around 10 o’clock on Thursday (15/8) in waters around Labuan Amok, just off of Karangasem. Seven foreign tourists aboard the vessel were injured in the incident. “Many of the passengers sustained multiple injuries due to the panic that occurred when the vessel caught fire,” Padangbai chief harbormaster Ketut Arya Dana said in Denpasar on Thursday. “The incident was allegedly due to an electrical short circuit that occurred at Labuan Amok, about 20 minutes from Padangbai port,” Dana added. The 25-meter vessel was carrying 32 passengers. The manifest indicated that some of these originated from the US and Australia and apart from the seven injured people, the 25 remaining tourists were reportedly fine. ”The other passengers were evacuated unharmed however they were visibly shaken,” he said.

Badung Government to Spend Rp 1.6 Billion on Road Sweeper The Badung Sanitation Department (DKP) has purchased a road sweeper costing no less than Rp 1.6 billion in order to clean the Simpang Dewa Ruci underpass in Kuta. The head of the department Putu Eka Merthawan, said Wednesday (21/8) that the road sweeper vehicle will be used to vacuum and clean up trash in the area of the Simpang Dewa Ruci underpass.

(August 28th 2013) Indonesia Works Toward Dual Nationality An official at the Foreign Ministry Wahid Supriyadi said Friday (23/8) that the country was experiencing more “positive” developments toward recognition of dual nationality. He was responding to the results of the second Congress of Indonesian Diaspora, held in Jakarta from August 18-20, which reiterated demands for state recognition of dual nationality for foreign nationals of Indonesian descent, which was originally addressed in the first Congress last year in Los Angeles. Wahid went on to say that his team was surveying models from other countries that allow dual nationality to explore suitable options for Indonesia. He said the government was also studying the Indian model, which issues documents in place of passports for individuals of Indian descent, enabling “75 percent recognition” short of dual citizenship, making it easier for them to invest and do business in India. The government estimates that there are some 8 million Indonesians and foreign nationals of Indonesian descent living and working overseas.

In addition to completing the statue and pedestal, investors will also build tourism facilities on the 60 hectares complex. (August 24th 2013)

ParacelsusAsia gets Mail Dear ParacelsusA, I’ve been meaning to write to you and saying how welcome it is that you have returned to the pages of Bali Advertiser. As soon as it hits the stands I go first to Alternative Voice. Your articles are particularly useful and well written. This issue’s (BA, 7 Aug) article on practical ways to maintain health and mentioning Maria Callas (she’s my favorite performer, especially so as I’m Greek) article was relevant to me and I’m going to take up your ParacelsusAsia regime as my own to quote around as my short answer as to how to live. In that regime you mentioned ‘find yourself a good integrative MD’. I recall once you mentioning in one of your articles the name of such an MD - somewhere in Sanur I recall. If so, would you be kind enough to pass on his/her details to me. Best wishes, AK, Sidakarya. ParacelsusAsia responds: Dear AK, Many thanks for the kind words. It’s fun to be back. ParacelsusAsia Note to readers: The 70-word regimen to which AK refers, reads: “Never obsess, temper excess; eat real food - but do not diet; exercise effectively, a minimum of three times p/week and not overdo it; supplement only where you need to; make an integrative MD your GP; when you got a big problem, don’t muck about, you need Big Medicine. Lastly, and the most unpalatable bit: the older you get the more you need to harden up on yourself.” The clinic and MD cited in the earlier issue was: Dr. Hendry Luis at The Wellness Clinic, Jl Tamblingan 41, Sanur.

Article

Consciousness Rising … Ubud and a New Global Spirituality It’s been said that the two biggest-selling subjects of all the carvings, paintings, sculpture and other art and craft work sold on Bali are: 1) images of the Buddha and 2) images of women, especially naked women. This little tidbit is both incredibly amusing/ lame and incredibly insightful, illuminating as it does the higher and lower sides of human nature and what attracts people to Bali at the same time. The Buddha and his teachings have always been warmly received on Hindu Bali – of old there were many Buddhist temples around the island, and at least since the Majapahit, the Buddha has been integrated into Balinese spirituality as an avatar (an important incarnation) of one of the great Hindu Trinity, the Trimurti. The Buddha was the manifestation on Earth of the Preserver God Wisnu (along with Krisna and Rama). Indeed, the Buddha, ‘the Enlightened One,’ ‘the Light of Asia,’ has played a singular role across the globe in preserving and cultivating the positive energy and innate goodness of humankind. Today, Buddhism is also an important (though by no means the only) source of a new global spirituality that has arrived, taken root and is growing on Bali and i n m a n y communities around the world. This decentralized, non-denominational movement is gathering in strength and numbers. Young and old, rich and poor, Eastern, Western and Middle Eastern, Northern and Southern, people from all walks of life and with all kinds of background stories to their lives are finding themselves searching for ways to embody and manifest a new spirituality. The old answers given through the old forms and formulas are not enough. They are looking for spiritual experiences, ones on a different plane from the ordinary, ones that bring them into contact through their hearts, minds and bodies with higher forces and energies; ones that manifest new definitions of health and happiness. They are looking to lead more meaningful, more fulfilling and realized lives, or, to put it simply, to wake up. And to enjoy themselves while doing so. This age-old quest is the quest of quests and the inner, sometimes hidden, goal of every religion. But why is this happening now? This growing urge to wake up from the story of ordinary life comes with the unsettling feeling of being as a civilization at a crossroads in history, trapped in a tight ‘bottleneck’ when events and changes are accelerating and compressing into an intense force hurtling forward out of anyone’s control, compelling us look at ourselves and to change the ways we live and think. Global changes – to the world economy, culture and environment - are historic and completely unprecedented in speed and scale. This kind of change is not only of degree but of kind. As many sense, we are entering new and undefined territory, a time of great unspoken dangers, not just of nuclear holocaust but of the widespread degradation or destruction of the worldwide environment (for example, climate change, sea level rise and the extinction of many plant and animal species) and global civilization (for example, over-population, water shortages, and the end of cheap oil). The future health and security of the world is uncertain, and this notso-slow-motion crisis is calling forth more from within sensitive individuals. Many feel that big positive change must come, and must manifest in personal integrity and consciousness as well as in politics, business and society, or that there will be dark and difficult times ahead for humanity and the Earth. Moreover, spiritual knowledge is now more widely available that at any time in history. Internet searches yield much information about religious philosophies, practices and history. Good book stores have whole sections devoted to spiritual self-development, including both classic and modern books on the subject, and many spiritual books reach the best-sellers lists and popular talk-show audiences. Bali, where indigenous spirituality is still very strong, and more specifically Ubud (Bali’s undisputed cultural and artistic center), has become one of several worldwide gathering-centers where these spiritual seekers come to meet each other, explore, and sample a variety of potentially life-changing and life-enhancing practices and teachings in support of their quest. Other spiritual meccas around the world include Chiang Mai, Thailand; Byron Bay, Australia; Costa Rica; Peru; Rishikesh, Tiruvanamilai, Kerala, Dharamsala, and Poona, India; Marin County, California and

Boulder, Colorado (two of the oldest, from the 1970’s), Sedona, Arizona, upstate New York, and other towns especially on the US and Canadian West Coast; several cities in Europe, with pockets of spiritual ferment in most cities in the world.

attracts sensitive people like a gyroscope and can have invisible healing and opening properties on them, helping them to shed and dissolve unneeded negative layers from their past and prepare them for their future work.

This loose group of communities is changing all the time, alternately gaining and losing interest with the seekers as their fascination waxes and wanes and as the host communities and countries support or detracts from their abilities to lead the exploratory lifestyles they wish. Many pass through quickly, taking workshops, courses and cleanses, while some people dig in and establish themselves as part of the local spiritual infrastructure, trying to earn a good living while practicing what the Buddha called Right Livelihood, one that supports spiritual growth in oneself and others. Many have or are trying to leave insipid and stressful even if high-paying - corporate jobs; they recognize that such jobs do not make them happy and barely even make ends meet in today’s strange economic times. Some comfortable, acquisitive lifestyles and the marriages that are part of them must be shattered and shed too in order for seekers to reinvent themselves in a more authentic and spiritual context.

Additionally, today visitors to the island and resident ex-pats also make important contributions to the spiritual energy here. They not only bring their own spiritual and healing skills here, but also important organizational and communications skills. Some are good at developing businesses and some at developing community, both of which multiply the effectiveness of events at providing ‘spiritual goods and services.’ Think of the Bali Spirit Festival.

It stands to reason that Bali should have a thing or two to teach such people. Bali’s spiritual energy has grown very strong over accumulative centuries of intensive prayers, offerings and ceremonies following skillful, sophisticated and intricate Hindu and animistic philosophies. The repeated intentions and daily use of flowers, incense, fruit, holy water; rice and rice cakes; bamboo, banana and coconut leaves; bells, chants in sacred Sanskrit texts, Sanskrit hand gestures, symbols and drawings; all contribute to the generation and maintenance of this energy. No wonder they say the gods and goddesses are Bali’s #1 spiritual visitors! The number of religious ceremonies and offerings truly boggles the mind, and the Balinese orient themselves spiritually in both space and time. Every temple has its own anniversary celebration every 210 days, according to Bali’s year-less Pawukon, or wuku calendar; every 15 days is a ‘kajeng-kliwon’ day that celebrates a special coincidence of the 3- and 5-day weeks; every 35 days is a tumpek celebration day, celebrating a special coincidence of the 5- and 7-day weeks; twice per month new and full moon conjunctions (tilem and purnama) call for ceremonies; and then there are island-wide (nyepi and galungankuningan) and personal ceremonies, an infant’s first touchingthe-earth at one Balinese year old; tooth-filing; marriage; and cremation among them. A stunning 20,000(!) temples (estimated) adorn the island, with major directional temples (kayangan jagat) having been laid out by ‘spiritual ancestors’ centuries ago as a sacred mandala, a medicine wheel, ranged across the landscape according to sacred geometry. There are family temples, village temples (several), royal and provincial temples, and special-purpose temples. The temples and even the traditional family compounds have been laid out according to the sacred directions, where holier parts of the house and villages are closer to Gunung Agung (kaja) and more profane parts are closer to the ocean (kelod). And there are the Balinese holy people – the pedandas, pemangkus, the balians and healers, and elders everywhere. They have much to teach, if they will, and these cultural treasures are people that more and more visitors want to meet and have authentic exchanges with.

The ex-pats bring in traditional and modern knowledge and techniques from around the world, supplementing the depth of what is already offered by the unique Balinese culture with a breadth that appeals to the foreign and contemporary palette. A glance over various poster boards and newsletters or overhearing the chatter at a local restaurant will reveal that at any given time there is a buzz of interest and curiosity in new classes and workshops offering knowledge and practices from shamanic traditions, from Tibet and India, from Thailand and Japan, and from synthetic modern and scientific techniques from the West. These include both alternative healing and spiritual knowledge and techniques (sometimes a bit contrived!). Energy healers and practices of diverse descriptions may be found in many locations around the island (again centering in Ubud though). Like spa treatments and special diets, not directly spiritual in themselves, healing practices serve to conjure people into a relaxed, clear and undistracted state where spiritual knowledge and practices more readily flourish. Physical yoga is both useful in itself and often serves as a ‘gateway’, both healing and promoting interest in other kinds of spirituality. Meanwhile, most Balinese healers and spiritual teachers eschew advertising or overly promoting themselves, but are there for those willing to dig deeper. A fuller cultural exchange has only begun to occur, each ‘side’ still getting to know the other, but more understanding and fuller exchanges could be cultivated and would benefit both parties. In fact, Bali has such a spiritual force of attraction it’s been estimated that a whopping 20% of foreign tourists who come to Bali come here to spend their limited vacation time and funds on some form of ‘spiritual tourism’, according to data from the Bali chapter of the Indonesian Association of Tour and Travel Agencies (ASITA). Of Bali’s nearly 3 million foreign visitors per year that represents over half a million people, a huge number, which itself equates to tens, even hundreds of millions of touro-dollars per year. Indonesian and Balinese tourism officials would do well to plan carefully and collaboratively how to best promote this, while cultivating and supporting the underlying Balinese spiritual culture which nurtures this extraordinary opportunity. An unbalanced concern with the commercial side of tourism, pandering to luxury tastes and frivolity, will serve to further undermine and degrade the Balinese and Bali’s spiritual culture. More important than the economics of it are the insights and transformations that are happening in the participants - how their experiences change their lives and how changes ripple outwards from there. As we hurtle into the 21st century, the world rapidly changing all around us, Bali plays a special part cultivating positive change in the unfolding of our incredible collective future together. *******

Perhaps nowhere else in the world has a culture made such an art form of spirituality as Bali has, with countless beautiful ceremonies and artistic performances supported by numberless anonymous acts of devotion, humility and supplication. At a larger scale, the Balinese have parlayed spiritual practices into a wholecultural lifestyle. It is said that many Balinese spend up to onethird of their time and one-third of their often meager incomes (!!!) either preparing for or participating in spiritual ceremonies. From one point of view, the particular ceremony or god or goddess being honored doesn’t matter as much as the basic fact of the spiritual act. The accumulated ‘electro-magnetic’ sparks of these efforts and intentions combine into flowing currents of energy which weave together like the resonance of a gamelan orchestra into a larger field of energy that permeates the island.

Stars Over Bali by Bill Dalton

From time immemorial humans have been transfixed by the heavens. The oldest map of the night sky, found in Germany in 1979, is of the Orion constellation carved on a Mammoth tusk over 32,000 years ago. If you’re from non-tropical Asia, Europe or North America, you will see a whole new night sky over Bali. To be sure, all of your old familiar astral friends will still be there parading from east to west across the Southern Hemisphere each night, but the constellations will be in totally different positions. Under the immensity of Bali’s sparkling night sky, you’ll also be able to view a larger portion of the skies in the Southern Hemisphere than can be viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, though the southern sky is not as populated with as many bright stars as in the north. You can start stargazing in the early evening in the tropics, as the twilight is very short in the late afternoon and early evening. As its path through the sky at the equator deviates very little throughout the year, the sun lingers only briefly and then drops below the horizon almost immediately after sunset and rises quickly above the horizon at daybreak, respectively at 6 pm and around 6:30 am (depending on the season). An unusual tropical phenomenon which occurs year round, not visible in the northerly latitudes, is a strange faint glow – a reflection of meteoric dust - called the Zodiacal Light which hovers over the horizon when the sun rises or sets. Stargazing in the countryside of Bali is also unique because of relatively little light pollution, so the background is quite dark. Even in the lower latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, city lights or clouds on the horizon usually obscure many lovely constellations that can be clearly viewed on Bali. The air transparency is remarkably clear in almost any locale outside the Denpasar area. Since the cloud buildup during Bali’s rainy season (usually November-May) obscures the night firmament, pick a clear moonless evening in the dry season (June-October) when you are more likely be able to view a cloudless night sky. Because the rainy season has lasted unseasonably long this year (2013), the night sky has been obscured, though it has now at last started to clear up (August). The Stars of the Southern Hemisphere The brightest star in the Southern Hemisphere is Scorpius. The long, curving tail of this enormous awe-inspiring constellation reaches its fullest height on the meridian in Bali at 8 or 9 pm in July. Just east of Scorpius is the broad spangled band of the Milky Way (called Danu or “lake” in Balinese), stretching across the center of the sky from north to south, packed with scores of brilliant stars. The prominent North Star of the Northern Hemisphere is conspicuous by its absence over Bali, and there is no equivalent “South Star” to take its place as a distinct marker of the heavens. The North Pole Star is useful for Northern Hemisphere observers as a helpful tool for finding other stars, but here in the Southern Hemisphere the South Pole Star is not visible to the naked eye, though it’s still important because all the southern stars will circle it as the night progresses. The Big Dipper (called Perahu or “boat” in Balinese) is usually only visible, low and to the north, after 8 or 9 pm from February to June. Orion doesn’t appear until mid-November. Called Tenggala (“the plow”) in Balinese, it lies on its side and more resembles a plow than it does when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. Polaris is out of sight below Bali’s horizon.

does not appear very big on Bali as it is dwarfed by Centaurus, the half-man, half-horse Centaur creature of Greek mythology, a huge and sweeping star group. But The Southern Cross is still quite distinguishable in the southern skies. Consisting of five medium bright stars, the constellation can easily be seen over Bali around 8 or 9 pm between December and August. It will be at its highest, 30 degrees above the horizon, in May at 8 or 9 pm, but will drop below the horizon during August, appearing Southern Cross (Crux) again in the east in December. In its highest vertical position, the Crux will cover four fingers held at arm’s length. Once identified, The Southern Cross will remain a constant point of reference around which all stars in the Southern Hemisphere are displayed. If you look west of the Southern Cross, you’ll see two principal constellations - the large rambling Vela, the “sail” on Jason’s mythical ship, and directly below and to the south is Carina, the keel of the seafarer’s ship. Partial Eclipse of the Sun During the early morning hours of Friday, 10 May 2013, a “ring of fire” partial eclipse of the sun occurred over much of central and eastern Indonesia, affecting 33 cities and the island of Bali. This strange and wonderful celestial event only occurs during the new moon, when the sun and the moon are in conjunction, i.e. the moon passes between the earth and the sun. The eclipse was observable from a mere one minute in Pekanbaru to as long as 2 hours and 44 minutes in Jayapura. Visible at dawn, the sun appeared as a dazzling ring against a blood-red sky on Bali for 1 hour and 10 minutes between 6:25 a.m. and 7:35 a.m. local time, obscuring 36% of the sun. Because solar eclipses have a very narrow path, and Bali is a very small island, total and partial (or “annular”) solar eclipses observable from Bali are extremely rare. Based on astronomical calculations by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), Bali will have to wait until March 20, 2053 to observe a 98% annular solar eclipse. Animals often react with confusion during an eerie eclipse of the sun and the strange 200-kilometer-wide shadow it casts, with its change in light and slight drop in temperature. There have been reports of Christian missionaries working in Indonesia’s far eastern province of Papua using their foreknowledge of a total eclipse of the sun to achieve spectacular mass conversions among native Papuans. It’s very possible that ancient Balinese considered a solar eclipse a sign of impending doom. The Balinese Calendar Indigenous Balinese calendars usually start the year with the vernal equinox (March on the Gregorian calendar). Temple birthdays (odalan), a commonplace event throughout Bali, occur frequently at regular, scheduled intervals, but major festivals not only change from year to year, Balinese 35-day pelelintangan calendar but from month to month within a specific year if viewed through the Gregorian calendar.

Aries, the Ram (called Bengkongor or “the curve” in Balinese) doesn’t make its appearance in Bali until late September. Magnificent Pheiades, the Seven Sisters, does not rise until early October, and Taurus, the Bull, until late October. Taurus is unmistakable because of the fiery red color of its main star Aldeberan, called Suda Malung or “eye of the pig” in Balinese.

The main problem with trying to keep up with Balinese holidays and festivals is that there are three different yet parallel calendrical systems in use. Tacked up side by side on the wall, each calendar is referred to simultaneously to keep track of festivals in progress and plan for upcoming events.

What comes as a surprise to people from northern climes, the most striking feature of the southern skies is not The Southern Cross. Known as Crux by astronomers, the Cross can be made out in different positions and at different times in the course of the evening depending on the month of the year. The constellation

One system is based on the Indian saka year, which determines the dates of festivals in the non-Javanized parts of the island. Several major Hindu temples still celebrate their anniversaries according to this Sanskrit-based calendar. Calculated from new moon to new moon, the saka calendar is divided into 12 months

(sasih) of 29-30 days each. This system most closely follows the Gregorian year in terms of length. Another system is the pawukon calendar cycle, imposed on Bali by the Majapahit conquerors and based on the so-called JavanoBalinese wuku year that has 30 weeks of seven days, the year totaling 210 days. In the 16th century, the saka calendar of Hindu Java and 30-week Balinese pawukon calendar were combined into the intricate schedule of religious ceremonies that exists today. Based on the movements of the seven visible planets and the occurrence of the island’s three-day markets, each frame of the calendar depict activities that are auspicious to carry out on that particular day. Especially powerful days occur when the dates from Bali’s two indigenous calendars intersect. Also significant are those days which precede the night of the full moon (purnama) or at the end a month with no moon (tilem). Balinese Astrology Some of the earliest traditional paintings produced by the Balinese were astrological calendars (pelelintangan), examples of which exist in the island’s museums. Ancient palm-leaf manuscripts (lontar) recorded astronomical events such as accounts of lunar and solar eclipses. Though there are no astronomy clubs on Bali, much less an observatory, the movement of the sun (Surya), moon (Candra) and stars (Bintang) play a weighty role in the Balinese religion. Balinese astrology is based on the Balinese calendar, each day represented by a symbol in the form of a deity, tree, bird or animal. It’s considered auspicious to worship the deity appropriate to the day on which you were born. For example, keeping a cat is particularly lucky for people born on a Thursday. Balinese calendars are used to read horoscopes, widely consulted by priests in making decisions and planning ritual events, fixing the most propitious days for planting, getting married, holding a cremation, opening a restaurant, constructing a house and organizing a gathering for some celebration or social function. On the back of I. B. Suparta Ardhana’s Balinese calendar, a whole three pages are devoted to astrological readings determining a person’s character (watak) according to date of his or her birth. One page shows the Western signs of the Zodiac. Details of the Chinese, Buddhist, Christian and Islamic calendars are also included so that this pawukon calendar is truly international. Heroes named after stars are found in the Hindu Mahabarata epic, the names of prominent stars are recited in the mantras of pedanda (priests), lamak cut out in the shape of stars are used in offerings. A comet (Bintang Kuskus) is said to have appeared at the death of Sukarno, Indonesia’s first president who was half-Balinese. As a symbol of Yama, the God of Death, comets were sighted before the mass killings of communists on Bali and also before the puputan massacres in Karangasem and Klungkung by the Dutch. Some old farmers continue to garden by taking note of Moon cycles and consult the Tika, an ancient mathematical calendrical system, to decide the most auspicious days for planting and harvesting rice. If the Kite Star (Herdsman) constellation is still visible, it means it’s almost daybreak. Some agrarian ceremonies - such as the extraordinary mouse cremation at Ababi village near Tirtagangga – take place once every 10 years after proper astronomical calculations. Balinese fishermen use different stars at night throughout the year to navigate and anticipate tidal patterns. The Pleiades constellation (Bintang Muwung) determines the north-south direction, and when Canopus (lomba-lomba or “porpoise”) is rising it means that the winds will blow strongly from the southeast. Though only a tiny island out of 17,000 other islands in a remote archipelago on a small planet in orbit around a minor star on the edge of an insignificant galaxy, the readings of the stars still play a significant role in Balinese daily life. pakbill2003@yahoo.com Copyright © 2013 Bali Advertiser You can read all past articles of BA Feature Article at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz
