Spa Specials That Will Satisfy the Whole Family

If you live, work, have a business or just have some exciting news about this area then we want to hear from you!

Some ‘me time’ at the spa is so much more special when you can share it with someone. Body Temple at The Canggu Club is dedicating their ‘Beautify in July’ specials this month to partner pampering and making sure everyone in the family is looked after! Whether it be a pairing of treatments or some spa time with your significant other, the Body Temple crew can cater for all of you. Couple care for your complexion as well as your body with their Relaxing Face and Body Combo. Indulge with a deeply relaxing hot stone massage and let the heat draw the tension from aching joints and muscles then follow this up with a Themae Green Tea Instant Facial for the full effect. You’ll emerge from your ninety minutes of bliss feeling refreshed, relaxed and simply radiant. This month’s special price of only Rp650K++ is just one more thing to smile about! I’d love a few Rupiah for every time I see some poor,

pouting husband ‘hanging about’ and waiting while wifey whips off to the salon for a new do. Instead of leaving him at a loose end in the lobby or perched at the bar, next time it’s time for a trim, bring him in and treat him to an energising sixty minute sports massage while you get your locks lopped. With July’s ‘His and Hers Pamper Package’ for Rp750K++ per couple, ladies can enjoy a stylish haircut with Hayley, BT’s professionally trained and internationally experienced stylist, while hubby’s massage will make him wonder why he hadn’t been to Body Temple more often! But for those of us with with a little treasure who loves to tag along, managing a bit of me time minus the munchkin can be quite the quest! Especially if Dad is up for a massage as well! Body Temple has it covered with their ‘Kids Play Free’ deal. Spend a minimum of Rp800K++ at Body Temple Salon and you’ll get two hours free Cubby House Kids Club care for one child. It’s a simple and safe solution that allows you to really make the most of that amazing head and scalp we celebrate our place as both today’s leader and yesterday’s trailblazer in the dive industry, we want to emphasise the critical role women have played — and continue to play — in what is sometimes perceived as a man’s sport. PADI history and current leadership are full of female dive icons and legends who continue to pave the way for today’s divers of both genders.” Many of those icons joined the 2015 events which brought together more than 6,000 divers in 65 countries on all seven continents. Shark expert Christina Zenato who developed a Shark Awareness Dive course in the Caribbean and Sarah Ward of the Australian Institute of Maritime Archaeology were just two internationally acclaimed female divers from different parts of the world who helped to raise awareness and celebrate PADI women divers for last year’s event and this year’s celebrations are shaping up to be bigger and better world wide!

Celebrating PADI Women’s Dive Day 16 July 2016

In 2015 PADI - the Professional Association of Diving Instructors and the world’s largest recreational diving training organisation introduced PADI Women’s Dive Day to recognise women’s contributions to diving throughout history and provide special opportunities for more women to enter the sport of diving today. “Women’s Dive Day has a special significance for PADI this year,” says Drew Richardson, president and CEO of PADI Worldwide. “2016 is PADI’s 50th anniversary, and as

Bali WISE (Women of Indonesia Skill Education program) attempts to break the cycle of poverty for poor and marginalised women by offering a six month intensive skills and education program consisting of a three month work and life skills course and three months of vocational training in an effort to assist them to find employment and a chance at a better life.

Holiday Camps Make Happy Kids Fabulous for the kids it may be, but the mere thought of seven and a half weeks of school holidays ahead can be known to strike fear and loathing into the hearts and minds of many a parent across the island. Typically a holiday period when many families take advantage of the long break and plan their annual vacations away, it is often difficult for those remaining in Bali to keep their kids actively engaged, entertained and away from those iPad screens for the duration of the holiday, especially when all of their friends are out of town! The reality is many parents actually don’t have the option of taking a break from busy work timetables and commitments to their businesses at this time of year and thus need a little assistance as far as making sure their children have a variety of safe and exciting holiday activities to choose from. Whether your kids are three or thirteen, Canggu Club’s Junior Sports Academy and Cubby House

Kids Club have put together holiday programs that are sure to take the worry out of what to do these holidays. Starting from Monday June 20th and continuing right through until Friday August 5th, Cubby House Kids Club is holding their popular holiday program for kids aged from three to twelve years. Ideal for younger family funsters and those who prefer more indoor, craft based activities, this kids’ club holiday fun is definitely ‘in da House!’ Affordably priced at just Rp200K++ per child for a four hour session, (choose from 9am - 1pm or 1pm - 5pm) the kids have the opportunity to try their hand at new kinds of art and musical activities, enjoy a healthy snack and water and take home craft to boot! The afternoon session also features a daily movie option for when it’s time to relax and reload those artistic juices! Seriously like a craft kingdom for creative kids, the Cubby House Holiday program will have

If your kids are a little older and yearn for more active entertainment, the Junior Sports Academy has also put together a holiday camp program from June 20th to August 5th. Choose from seven different camps over seven weeks and select super sport or multi sport programs. Sports include tennis, tag rugby, trampolining, soccer, strike bowling and swimming. For only Rp400K nett for members (Rp580K nett for non members) kids can drop in for 6 hours of supervised, sporting fun with a program designed for boys and girls of all ages and abilities as well as lunch and snacks. Sign up for the five day camp and get one day for free at just Rp1,600,00 for the week for members and Rp2,320,000 for non members. Participants are required to be a minimum of six years of age and sign in is from 9am, Monday to Friday. (Non member drop in rates include free entry to Splash Water Park and payment in advance for the week includes a seven day Canggu Club Bronze membership). Whether your child prefers sporting entertainment or scissors and glue, JSA and CHKC Holiday Camps are a terrific opportunity for kids to connect and make new friends during their vacation. It also relieves the worry of wondering what to do with them while you’re at work! Let Canggu Club take the kids off your hands for a little while to ensure everyone can make the most of happy holidays!

Ubud is getting out of control, it’s got a whole lot more going on in this quaint (in parts) hill town to make their southern retailers feel more than a tad envious‌. %ut he\ the ¿rst stop \ou need to make in this cultural center is a good cup of coffee so suggest the hip spot called Seniman Coffee Studio a speciality coffee and design studio. It’s a comfortable friendly coffee bar with delicious cakes on offer (they have a menu too) they run regular coffee workshops, there’s a cold brew bar along with a product design consultancy (where an assortment of re-cycled glass products are available to buy. Seniman in Ubud is the best spot for that great injection of caffeine! Jalan Sriwedari No 5, Ubud T: +62 361 972085 (pass the Ubud Palace and take a small street that runs to the left off Jl Raya Ubud.

Make your starting point the Ubud Market (pick up a Ubud town map for easy reference of street names) Like all markets you literally could spend an entire day checking out the market stalls. Jalan Hanoman is a one of the most popular shopping streets (runs off Jl Raya Ubud) Some of the favorites going down this very long road are – Galazyan Atelier well known for MilenaZU Mesh Jewelry this is the original mesh jewelry & unique! Further down on the other side of the road is a small shop called Sama Suka for all things white & cream cotton for you and home. Further down is Shan Shan the best for fashion bling & a plethora of fashion jewels. NC/G/G-6 July 16

My new fave (been going for a few years) is Kebun Bistro (next door to the popular Kafe) the perfect spot to sit awhile and regroup, enjoy a glass of chilled wine, feels a little like a European bistro. T: 479 2077

Found another southern recruit, The Bulb Gallery (part of VIO Galleries) No 56 Jl Hanoman. For all those more interesting shaped light bulbs, hanging or part of a crazy installation. There’s an Earth CafÊ on Hanoman, Monsieur Spoon at the top of the road (perfect for a sugar hit and another coffee) and this is where you come to a fork in the road, take the left and follow down to where Goddess of the Go is located. Take the right to where Monkey Forest Rd begins it’s long winding ascent back to Jl Raya Ubud. First on the left Cocoon Medical Spa (main clinic is on Sunset Rd, Legian) then up and around where there’s so much more, Mercredi have a great looking store for home & interiors, Milena have another jewelry shop on the right side almost to the top, Sensatia for great soap best soap skin & spa products, and the Japanese owned Kue for products like tea, jams & more‌. A narrow street that runs between Jl Hanoman and Monkey Forest Rd is Jl Dewi Sita.

Of course Jl Dewi Sita is home to the now famous Lovavore restaurant, there’s a Locavore to Go (more casual eatery) and what is soon to open a Lovavore Bar on the corner opposite Kevala Home. The other street that I love for a wander is Jl Goutama (cnr of Jl Dewi Sita) this is a narrow street full of quaint bijoux cafes (for raw food & detox tonics) shops (think crystals, tarot, yoga) restos (Vietamese etc) affordable home stays‌. At the very corner is a fave spot to buy your French style jam, Con¿ture de Bali and then at the top end, La Boheme who specialize in natural dyed fabrics (muted shades) crafted into the more interesting shapes with a French / Japanese twist. Finally there’s CLOTH by Medina, with a fab range of naturally dyed cushions & throws, located on the right hand side of Jl Raya Andong which is the road that takes up all the way up to Tegallalang (another story)

Each year, the Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati puts a call out to emerging writers from across Indonesia: send us your stories and you could find yourself joining some of the world’s most talented authors at the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival. After a 6-month campaign, we’re proud to announce the 16 talented authors who will be flown from across the archipelago to participate in Southeast Asia’s most celebrated literary event from 26–30 October.

The independent curatorial team received a record number of submissions in 2016, including entries from 894 writers across 201 cities and 33 provinces. This is a significant increase from 595 submissions in 2015, evidence of Indonesia’s flourishing creativity. “As a Yayasan, one of our missions in hosting the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival each year is to create pathways for young Indonesians to pursue a career in literature and the arts,” said Founder & Director Janet DeNeefe. “Bringing together 16 emerging young writers, connecting them with the global literary industry, and showcasing their talent to the world, is one of the most rewarding things we do as a Festival.” Not only will the 16 emerging writers take part in the UWRF program, their works will also be translated into English and published as part of the Yayasan’s anthology series, now in its eighth edition. The book will be launched at the Festival

Although labelled as ‘emerging’, the talent of the 16 selected writers is finely honed, said member of the independent curatorial board and celebrated Indonesian author, Seno Gumira Ajidarma. “This year’s selection proves that the work of emerging writers isn’t always raw, and is in fact very impressive in comparison with some of Indonesia’s most established authors,” he said. “This is evidence that skilled writers in Indonesia don’t always have the pathways to pursue writing as a career option, something the Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati is helping to change.”

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE JULY 06 - JULY 20, 2016

This fortnight sits in the window between the Cancer New Moon and the Capricorn Full Moon, with both Venus and Mercury entering the sign of Leo. The New Moon/Sun combination was positioned between these two and all in the sign of Cancer. What we can expect then is a great deal of emotionally highlighted conversation within our most significant relationships and in particular familial associations. With the Moons Nodes, Neptune and Pluto all involved this promises to be a very transformative time with a lot of opportunity for forgiveness and a deeper more heartfelt understanding of each other. There are bloodline and ancestral issues here particularly pertaining to the feminine line. By the time the Full Moon comes around at fortnight’s end, Mars will be out of its long retrograde and harmoniously connected to Chiron bringing some healing balm to exposed wounds and with the Sun in late degrees Cancer joining the pair, we have a grand water trine. This will remain a very emotionally sensitive time through to the next New Moon. Saturn in Sagittarius is also harmoniously linked to Venus and Mercury in Leo and finally some resolve to the parental discordance. The balancing act is now bringing the new feminine values to meet the existing masculine and give her more authority in everyday matters and possibly yet still in the work place. With Saturn in a T-square to the moons nodes until the end of October we can expect some rather heavy karmic work taking place both personally and collectively. FULL MOON 27 Capricorn 40 July 20, 2016 6:57 a.m.

The Full Moon brings your attention back to the outer world and helps you to refocus on your plans and work concerns. With the support to bring family matters back to balance and harmony, transformation comes more easily to you at this time. Any problems with addiction can be resolved with the help of wise authority. Seek out professional people to help with the deeper issues and this will bring healing. Others of you are pursuing a career in the healing arts and can undertake a more rigorous or demanding study schedule. It can be a good time to promote you and to ask for much needed assistance from authorities.

You will have a lot of time for friends over the coming weeks. The biggest opportunity however will come through your work associations, career focus and money making ventures and opportunities. The Full Moon highlights the home and the work which needs to be done there. This can be emotional or to do with the practical details, structure, functioning and money sharing. Somehow they all seem intrinsically linked and interrelated. Your destiny is bound up in communication and having a sensitive ear and heart and enough solitude to be able to discern the difference between truth and lies. It seems that your health would improve through alternate therapies.

Your family are of great support to you at this time and communication flows more effortlessly. Friendships on the other hand may take a little more work as there are old issues to resolve. Any thoughts you have on starting a family and the related responsibility could come out in the open over the next months. Others of you will make work a priority and refocus on your financial commitment. By the end of the fortnight you will be ready to take the emotionally charged conversations to the next level and to practically deal with things. Your usual pragmatic approach will work well at this time, so employ it well.

Mars forges ahead now and as it does connects with the Sun in Cancer and the wounded healer, bringing a great opportunity for physical and emotional healing. This is not the time to take your health for granted even if you are feeling particularly strong and to work with your local community and to perhaps share your skill set or gifts with others. Any fears you may have could come from a more distant past and bear no relevance to the current situation. You can quite boldly and forthrightly speak about your vocational views and ideology at this time and a little self-promotion would go a long way.

As you head towards a rather powerful Full Moon this fortnight, harness the content of your emotions and use the energy to shift through some old baggage. This is the time to move ahead with your career aspirations and vocational dreams. You may find that intuition or guidance simply takes you to a place of more benefit at this time and being unafraid of hard work you will reap the financial reward that you deserve. There is work to be done in your primary relationships, familial, romantic and work related. A deepening sense of commitment is an integral part of the evolving nature of them and nothing to be afraid of. This time is particularly potent for you and the year ahead promises an active and fluid response to personal and collective issues. As a sensitive person you are aware of the deeper currents of everyday life and can easily intuit situations and this will help you to be of assistance when the time is right. Communication and marketing will play a strong role in your work and there will be past mistakes to now make amends for. Learning from the past and filtering it to make it available through teaching is a great skill and one that life may ask of you now. Relationship is very important to you.

It seems that there are issues with family members taking you to a place of responsibility within yourself. You may want to focus some of this energy through a work related or business enterprise. The balancing act between family responsibilities and those relating to the outer world is filled with challenges. If you feel somehow caught between a rock and a hard place, know that this time will pass and this karmic cycle is preparing you for a future quite different from your past. A financial review may be in order around this next Full Moon and a more practical approach to shared finances could now be in order. Facing the truth about yourself and doing a bit of a life review is probably on the cards over the coming weeks. It seems that you are somehow obligated to share your story or to get a different perspective on the past than the one you’ve been carrying for lifetimes. Any mental confusion or avoidance of honesty will be viewed through the lens of discernment. There is no time for discrimination as you have important work to do and this will be in full view during the coming Full Moon. Family relationships are very important to you this fortnight and you will take the opportunity to share activities with them successfully.

Going with the flow isn’t always your forte, as you prefer to forge ahead and this you will do with Mercury and Venus in your sign. This is the time to be your adorable self and to speak up about issues that really matter to you. Family can be of emotional support during times of confusion, just as you can also offer them the support when the way ahead doesn’t appear clearly. As you release yourself from responsibility you find that you can focus more easily on realigning your values and accessing the deeper parts of your being. There is a new role being created for many of you.

If you have financial concerns this is the time to heal your work and vocational situation. Things are probably flowing more easily now as you free yourself from stagnation through directed and purposeful change. You have an emotional connection to your work and this is your driving force. There are times where you give too much and this is the opportunity to be a little more self-disciplined and discerning, particularly in the workplace and become the authority you were destined to become. Take the leading role in your relationship communications and value your partnerships in a way they deserve. This Full Moon will see you seeking solitude and doing your work in isolation.

These next few months offer you healing around your early childhood programming and your relationships to others. This is a deep karmic cleanse and will have you bear witness to where you’ve sold yourself out and where you have been deluding yourself. Romantic relationships are up for an honest review and some truth seeking and speaking. This is a time to focus on your health needs and providing a workable schedule for you. This month sees you withdrawing into yourself to search out the answers to your own personal enquiry and to hold more closely your intimate relationships. Secrecy is a preferred option.

Now that Mars has finally moved forward you can begin to make those travel plans and to even think of setting up home abroad for a while. This could be because you work is better suited in a foreign country and you now need to seek out those people with whom you are to share your gifts, talents and skills. The healing for you is very personal and altering your physical appearance may also be on the cards. A sensitive soul like you has a high requirement for honesty and this now is your time to shine in your chosen field and be supported. You would do well to talk about your work and what you have to offer.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Is any Balinese Gamelan Music Extinct? Bali is world famous for its gamelan music, which, to the outsider who may have been fortunate enough to have witnessed a temple ceremony, seems alive and well even in the face of globalization. At least on the surface. Since gamelan music is remembered and passed on as an oral tradition, much has been lost over time. In fact, due to lack of notation or documentation, it is impossible to know exactly how much music and how many regional / village / banjar styles have disappeared. In the case that notation exists – for gambang, selonding or gong gede music, example – it only provides the reader with a sparse skeletal melody, not revealing a time signature, speed, interlocking patterns, drum patterns or even a melodic line. So using notation means that the reader has to interpret and basically make all of the parts up and guess the time signature and time. It seems that notation simply served as a memory cue and I have seen that personally as an ethnomusicologist working with elderly musicians who use notation simply to jog their memory. My research focus over the past 19 years has been the court orchestra, semara pagulingan. I’ve found that not only is the original music extremely rare but a fair chunk of it is in fact extinct. At our centre in Denpasar called Mekar Bhuana, since 2000 we have reconstructed numerous pieces of music from the semara pagulingan, semara patangian, selonding and angklung repertoires. If we get an invitation to an important local or overseas festival we use this opportunity to reconstruct a piece of lost music. This year on July 8th at 2 PM at the Bali Arts Festival, our semara pagulingan troupe will perform a number of rare or once extinct pieces of court music from the 17th to 19th century period, featuring once piece which we reconstructed specifically for this performance from the memory of 88 year old Wayan Gunastra from Denpasar. Since we will be presenting this reconstruction on a complete and antique court orchestra, you will have a unique opportunity to hear what Balinese court music once sounded like before the immense changes that Balinese music has gone through since the development of tourism in the early 20th century.

Help build the ‘zero waste to oceans’ education and demonstration centre. The tragedy of our oceans is that by the year 2050 there will be more waste than sea life in our oceans. A very sad but harsh reality unless something is done. I know that there are plenty of initiatives in Bali but I really think we need to ask ourselves questions such as are we still using plastic bags? Little changes on a global scale make a big difference and we need to act now. There are plenty of things to do during Waterman’s Week including competitions, exhibitions, shopping, beach clean ups, movie nights and more. This is the fourth year of this event which is part of the non-profit organisation R.O.L.E. foundation. The whole week is spent with different partners to highlight the problems of Indonesia’s waste disposal. Here are some sad facts about waste management or lack of. Indonesia is the 4th most populated country in the world and ranked second in the table of mismanaged plastic waste. Six hundred and eighty cubic metre of plastic rubbish everyday goes into the ocean the equivalent to a fourteen story building.

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

Birthing on Bali Books by Elena Skoko and Melinda Chickering We are fortunate to have two inspiring birthing memoirs - Western views of birth in a different culture - one written by a Croatian woman and the other by an American woman that pass on important lessons about the birth experience in Bali. Both women had their babies at the same Ubud maternity clinic under the care of the same midwife and both required a radical shift in perspective. Each set out on an intellectual journey of researching and learning from the very early stages of their pregnancies to the birth experience itself and the clarity of hindsight after the birth. With rich details, piercing honesty and raw emotion, each book in its own way are must reads for expectant Western mothers who plan to have their baby on Bali. Memoirs of A Singing Birth is the empowering story of singer/artist Elena Skoko’s birth on Bali of her daughter Koko. Elena feels that the first decision a mother has to make is what method of birth they would prefer. In preparation for her daughter’s birth, Elena did extensive research on pregnancy and on the options that were open to her and her husband. The statistics simply s c a r e d h e r, s o t h e y decided in advance that a birth outside of a hospital would be the best. A natural, unmedicated birth can be in any position, any place and with anyone the mother feels comfortable with. When the time came, Elena tried to apply some of the theories she had read about. One method was using voice during labor, but during birthing that didn’t work so well. Instead, she just started singing one of the songs she and her husband had written. She discovered that this method made her labor easier and less painful. Elena gave birth to Koko in the warm water of a birth tub, which feels soothing in the late stages of labor. Her daughter had a lotus birth, which means that the umbilical cord was not severed. She had thought that it would be complicated to carry and care for her baby with the placenta still intact, but as it turned out it was the most natural thing to do. Her navel was free in three days without any irritation or infection. She also used the placenta as a post-partum remedy. In Elena’s book, we learn that a song to welcome a child into the world would be appropriate for both mothers and fathers. It is a technique in which the parents and child feel deeply connected. Moreover, the writer asserts, the use of the voice and of the mouth facilitates the dilatation of the cervix. This means that the advantage is two fold, both emotional and physical. It can be mantra, vowel, rock’n’roll or any song that means something to the parents. A woman needs only an appropriate place to feel at ease when singing around loving, caring and trustworthy people who know how to help without any impositions. The writer considers herself fortunate to have given birth at Yayasan Bumi Sehat under the care of “guerrilla midwife” Ibu Robin Lim who was already practicing everything that she desired for her own holistic birth plan, including a lotus birth. It impressed her that every time she visited the birth clinic for a check up, she was buoyed up by the glowing healthy faces of all the new mothers. Even though it was a busy birth facility, the atmosphere wasn’t noisy or rushed but peaceful as if birth was a normal part of everyday life, as it should be. ** As an American living in Bali, Melinda Chickering had endless questions when she discovered that she was pregnant. Where should I give birth? Who can support my husband and I through pregnancy and birthing? Where do I get prenatal care? Do they have birthing classes here like in the States? Is it safe to give birth in Bali? What happens if there are complications with either the pregnancy or birth?

Like Elena Skoko, Melinda started doing thorough research and took notes. ‘Sex Ed’ in her public high school simply didn’t cover the topic. There was a culture of squeamishness, or perhaps Puritanism, around pregnancy and birth that is all too pervasive in much of the modern world. She was always told to leave it to the doctors and not trust her own body and her own voice and honor the answers already within herself.

C/E/M-27 May 15

In her book Becoming Home, Melinda debunks the myths and fears surrounding modern day childbirth. She was shocked to learn that nearly a third of U.S. births are C-sections because doctors and hospitals fear litigation. This procedure is often unnecessary, putting mothers and babies at risk. According to Amnesty International, women face greater risk of death in pregnancy and childbirth in the USA than in 40 other countries, while at the same time Americans spend the most on childbirth technology. That’s not healthcare; that’s a dysfunctional system. In the States people tend to follow the advice and practices of their parents and peers, which leads most to give birth in hospitals with doctors (not midwives and without doulas) even when there is no previous indication of pathology or complications. Women tend to accept the standard of care that’s presented to them without questioning. That usually includes lots of prenatal testing, pain management with epidurals, episiotomy, etc.

C/E/G-6 July 16

As a result, many families end up with interventions that might not have been necessary in the birth of their babies had they been better informed in a culture that is less deferential to the medical establishment. Because she was outside the medicalized culture which surrounds birth in the USA, Melinda was able to question its underlying assumptions, like “pain is bad,” “doctors know best,” and “birth must be managed.” But as she cogently relates in her book, she and her husband were to learn that birth can be the most magical, sacred induction into parenthood, what god, Jehovah, Allah or Sanghyang Widi Wasa intended. They learned the importance of surrounding themselves with loving, supportive and respectful caregivers. Melinda, like Elena, was also the recipient of the attentions of the wonderful people at Bumi Sehat Clinic. Also like Elena, Melinda came to realize the importance of feeling safe enough to surrender control and embrace vulnerability during the birth of her baby.

NC/E/G-08 June 16

This intimate and articulate memoir of the birthing experience on Bali offers rare insights into the life of a western woman living in a complex Asian culture, separated from all that was comfortably familiar. The author explains how cultural conditioning strongly influences our approach to giving birth.

Let’s study

Becoming Home is a truly inspirational story about pregnancy, childbirth, culture and life told in a well-written, humorous and intelligent voice. Melinda’s journey of self discovery is not only relevant for anyone pregnant or considering having a baby but also to all men with plans of taking an active part in the entire birthing process.

Do U.S. expats voting from Indonesia really count for that much?

Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton

There are 6-8 million Americans living abroad, more than the population of HALF the states, with perhaps 10,000 or more in Indonesia alone. We are a very important constituency that should be exercising our political muscle. And as we’ve seen in the elections of Bush and Al Franken, just a handful of votes can make the difference. Do the U.S. expats who live in Bali tend to be Democrats or Republicans?

Dave Van Rooy: Lighting the Fire of Democracy

U.S. expats were once thought to be conservative or else discontented. But the actual reality is far more complicated. Though our group is steadfast Democrats, we help all US citizens here vote. Will the IRS/ex-wife/parole-officer/state-income-taxpeople find out where I am if I vote from overseas? By law your Federal voting information cannot be shared with any other agency. By law, if you only vote in Federal elections, your voting information cannot affect the determination of tax liability or tax residence. But voting in local elections can.

Call/sms/ whatsapp : 0852 3704 8168. Kerobokan. [005] How beggarly arguments appear before a defiant deed! Never regret growing old; not everyone has that privilege!

What if I’m not happy with either candidate? Sometimes politics, like life, doesn’t present us with a “good” option. But it’s our duty to make sure the WORST one doesn’t win. Hold your nose if you have to, but vote! Can all Americans here vote? Yes, virtually all citizens over 18 are able to vote. There are just a few exceptions. How do I know where I can vote? Dave Van Rooy was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in Houston, Texas. He earned a Bachelor’s at the University of Pennsylvania in 1967 followed by a Ph.D. in physics from Rice University in 1970. He is a longtime Indonesia US expat and member of the absentee voter support network with the website wwwAmericansInIndonesia.org (AmIn). Dave and several others have been working since 2002 to ensure that every American - from both sides of the political spectrum - is registered and their vote counted. Dave is currently retired but active in the Ubud community, where he lives with his lovely Thai wife Pong. Besides community matters, he enjoys scuba diving, traveling, photography, movies, reading and more activities than he really has time for. Do you still have a lot of ties to the States? Like most Americans here, I still have strong connections to the States though I don’t get back very often. Many imagine we expats are in paradise lazing in hammocks, sipping martinis and not interested in the US. But that is not the case at all. Most of us are passionate about our country. Why did you feel the need to start helping others to vote from here? In 2002 I had my first rather frustrating experience voting from Bali. It took real persistence to find out how and what to do. From this I was determined to help and encourage others. Friends started joining “the cause” and by 2004 there were six of us holding voter registration parties as well as being the voting information center in the Ubud area. I later joined Democrats Abroad Indonesia and became its Chair starting in 2011. I am currently a Board Member in that organization. But our group is still dedicated to helping everyone vote, regardless of their political persuasion. Are meetings the most effective way to get out the vote? No. It’s difficult to reach many people that way. So in 2011 my group decided to build the AmIn website to help Americans throughout Indonesia vote. We added other sections as well as providing a Contact Us form to provide individual voting assistance, and an email newsletter list to receive relevant news a few times a year. It is volunteer run, respects your privacy and spam/ad-free. Since I don’t live in the US, why should I vote? Politics affects the taxes we pay, Social Security issues, our health care, our relationship in Indonesia, how our loved ones in the US live, … And it’s part of us, like it or not.

Your voting address is the last place you resided in the US, regardless of ownership, whether it still exists or not, or even if you never voted from there. In the latter case you may have difficulties convincing the local election official that you should be registered. If problems persist, please contact us via our AmIn website. C/E/I-11 May 16

What are the steps involved? The voting process is actually a simple two-step process. Now there are websites such as www.VoteFromAbroad. org (VFA) that guide you through it and give you explicit instructions for each step. First you need to request your ballot with an FPCA (Federal Post Card Application) by answering a series of simple questions on the web. In just 5-10 minutes, you’ll have your completed FPCA all ready to be sent in per the instructions. You should do this as early in the year as possible, and well before the end of September so you get your ballot in time. You should then receive a ballot from your election official about 45 days before any election. Fill it out and return it, being sure to follow instructions carefully. If you don’t receive your ballot in time, you should fill out a FWAB (Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot), again easily done at VFA in a few minutes and sent in. I’ve been a registered voter for a long time in my state, so why do I need to do all this? The MOVE Act requires Americans abroad to file a ballot request (step 1, an FPCA) every election year to ensure their ballot’s validity. If you get your ballot without having done this step, your vote is challenge-able.

C/E/G-6 July 16

After checking out the websites, what if I still have questions? If you still have some questions, refer to our AmIn website www.AmericansInIndonesia.org, It’s designed to answer your questions. Or if you’re still perplexed about something, contact us via the website and we’ll get back with you. Please complete the voting process and encourage other Americans here to vote also.

Update Sardinia Café was one of the first restaurants to open at Beachwalk, Bali’s premier shopping complex. With a combination of a great position [main street entrance, over-looking the beach] and proven management [same as Cocoon], it was not surprising that Sardinia Café opened busy and has remained that way. The fare is mainly Italian but the menu does its best to present something for all tastes. Breakfast can be traditional Eggs Benedict [pictured] as a stand alone dish or as a part of their Breakfast Special [with a fruit plate, honey-roasted muesli, juice tea/coffee], a Burrito [scrambled egg, chicken, bean, cheese, tomato, avocado, roasted capsicum, onion, served w/ tomato salsa], healthy with Honey Toasted Muesli [cashew nut, walnut, yoghurt, seasonal fruits & side milk] followed by a Mushroom Omelette or the Sardinia Special [poached egg, spinach, bacon, chipolata, mushrooms tomato, baked beans & roast potatoes]. Pasta with a difference can be Penne Salmon, Spinach Ravioli [with sage cream sauce] or a Seafood Risotto [saffron rice, prawns, squid, barramundi, parsley olive oil]. Pizza? Of course! All the standards are here plus Smoked Chicken with jalapenos, roasted peppers, bbq sauce. Following the current trend in Bali there are Burgers on the menu, Standard [beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, mayonnaise, pickles, caramelized onion & salad] or Vegetarian [chick pea, lentil & corn patty, lettuce tomato, roast carrot & eggplant, mayo, fries & salad], For those on a health trip the Super Food Salad is perfect [quinoa, chick peas, avocado, sunflower seed tangerine, coriander leaf, cherry tomato, mint leaf, edamame, grill zucchini, grill eggplant with pepitas dressing] Pick of the Italian mains is their Chicken Parmigiana, but the Tasmanian Salmon Fillet with tabouli, fennel & mint salad, picada dressing, is excellent! There is also a range of Indonesian dishes; Beef Rendang, Ayam Kecap, Ikan Pepes and a Balinese Chicken Curry {g/f} coconut chicken with lemongrass, beans, potato and carrot. Just feel like a snack with your drink whilst watching the Kuta sunset…then ask for the Tapas menu.

CasCades @ The Viceroy have created something very special in the Ubud dining scene with their monthly guest chef nights. Over the past few years they have brought to Bali some of the world’s leading chefs, dragging them away from their always full restaurants at home. Last year’s top attraction was Nick Brill. Those who attended are still talking about the experience. It is no surprise that Nick’s new restaurant in Antwerp, The Jane, has appeared, 1st year, on the list of The World’s Top 50 Restaurants, as the highest placed newcomer. July sees the return to Bali of another famous Belgian chef, Michael Vrijmoed [from his Michelin 2 star restaurant Vrijmoed in Gent, Belgium]. Together with CasCades own Belgian chef of renown, Nick Vanderbeeken, they will be presenting two six course dinners on Friday July 15 and Saturday July 16. Breaking new ground for these events the Friday dinner will be 100% vegetarian, while the Saturday one reverts to meat and seafood. Both are priced at Rp. 1,300,000++ [add just Rp. 200,000++ for wine pairing]. Prior reservation [971.777] is essential as these dinners are now always fully booked.

Golden Monkey opens soon in Ubud. In recent months many new restaurants have opened in the Ubud area, some with success but as usual many have opened empty and will no doubt remain that way. Lack of imagination and previous industry knowledge the major reasons. However Golden Monkey is the one that we are all waiting for. It will be on the corner of Jlns. Dewi Sita and Goutomo, and the final fitting out has begun. Very professional management and a cuisine of high quality Chinese will ensure certain success. Eventually Singaporean master chef Low Chen Him will take charge of the kitchen. He is currently a leading chef in Singapore’s award-winning Paradise Group. We look forward to that!

Bukit Segara is the new class act for the Amed area in north-eastern Bali. Situated in Bunutan, just before the popular Lipah Beach strip, this classic Joost Van Grieken designed villa complex now has opened its beachfront restaurant to outside guests. The menu is small but has been very well selected. It includes slow roasted duck, a Balinese rice table and a range of very fresh seafood. The vegetables are from their own garden, all breads from their bakery…at last a quality breakfast in Amed! Very different for both Amed and Bali, they even boast a sailing school set up and operated by the owner, Dutch sailing fanatic Derk Izaks.

By Ayu Spicy Homemade sauerkraut is a living food f u l l o f probiotics and antioxidants. It’s also an i m m u n e system booster and so easy to make in this tropical climate. I find myself having a forkful now and then when I’m searching for something else in the fridge and the jar of those crisp cool shreds temps me to open it. Delicious by itself or in a Reuben sandwich, this is so simple I almost feel I’m cheating by giving you the recipe.

Homemade Sauerkraut Makes about 1 liter Depending on size of cabbage Ingredients: - I large head of cabbage, washed - 1 Tbl. sea salt Directions: Thinly shred the cabbage. Put it into a large bowl and sprinkle it with the salt. Mix and let it stand 5 -10 minutes. Now get your clean

hands into it and massage the heck out of the shreds, squeezing and turning the mass until the locked in moisture in the leaves releases and the cabbage wilts. Don’t skimp on this. Take your time - have some good music on - and massage away. The liquid will be a bit gray green. Put the cabbage and the liquid into a glass jar and pack it down tightly with a wooden spoon until it is submerged below the liquid. If there isn’t enough add some cooled boiled salted water to cover the shreds so none sticks up above the liquid. Cover loosely with a cloth and let it sit in a dark place for up to ten days or until it’s done to your liking. The more it sits, the sourer it gets. I checked mine every day because it would stubbornly rise above the liquid. I skimmed off the scum that formed after a couple of days (this is natural and to be expected) along any cabbage above the liquid and pushed it down again. In this climate it turns sour quickly where in cooler climes it might have to sit twice as long. Mine was finished in about a week. When it is to your taste, transfer the sauerkraut to a clean glass jar that fits in the fridge and there you have it - a powerful probiotic and delicious superfood to eat on its own or add to recipes. Guten appetit!

Restaurant Review

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

Visit The Real Bali! Temuku are the water irrigation channels that meander through all of Bali’s rice paddies. Temuku is also the name of a very special pool villa complex and restaurant in Kedewatan. You can not go there by car, the villa buggy picks you up at the main road and takes you on a 2km buggy ride, alongside those water channels, through the rice paddies to this amazing little complex. Many villa complexes in Bali just offer the raw basic essentials for a restaurant …..breakfast of a sort, and not much more. Not Temuku. The restaurant is upstairs above the villa reception, facing out over the rice paddies. It has been set up by Bali’s leading food consultant, Roland Lickert, and it bears his stamp of ‘attention to detail’ as you would expect. Gohu is a great way to start. In a setting such as this you almost feel compelled to ‘eat healthy’. Shredded green papaya tossed with caramelized cashew nuts, mild sliced red chillies, freshly ground ginger and rice vinegar, topped with crisp peanut crackers is a salad that is not only healthy but also tastes great! The Martabak is almost a meal rather than an entrée, great to share. Lamb meat is minced and curried then wrapped in crunchy pastry, served with cucumber pickle and a sweet but tangy tamarind dipping sauce. More international is an Avocado and Shrimp Timbale, it sits on a mango vinaigrette. The Beetroot Carpaccio is layered with feta cheese and organic greens, drizzled with hazelnut dressing. Soups can be very local, Soto Ayam [shredded chicken with egg, cabbage, tomato, bean sprouts in a spicy chicken broth] or Soto Batawi, street food from Jakarta [braised beef shank cubes in a coconut broth and many spices, with carrot, celery, and a lime. garlic and chilli sambal, served with Melinjo chips]. For those just wanting to snack there is always that international burger or the ever popular Mexican Quesadilla, stuffed with grilled chicken, spicy salsa and cheddar cheese, served with guacamole and sour cream. Staying with local creations means ordering a Tuna Roll. The fish is grilled, and with fresh lemongrass, chilli and coconut oil, rolled in a flour tortilla, Mexican style but with Balinese taste.

An unusual item to find on a Bali menu, and almost a signature dish from Mr. Lickert is the Balkan Cevapcici [from what was once Yugoslavia], a grilled sausage shaped mix of minced beef and lamb that has been spiced with cumin and paprika. It is served on pita bread with the Greek tzatziki [yoghurt, cucumber, garlic and lemon]. Head of the main dishes is an incredible Chicken Curry [pictured]. The curry uses Sumatran spices, the chicken simmered in full cream coconut milk, thick and rich. Sitting on top are rolls of Roti Jala, a Malaysian special, unique net rolls, great for soaking up the rich curry.

What a pleasant surprise to find such high quality cuisine in this so natural setting. As a real bonus it is also budget priced, as are the 11 pool villas themselves @ only $200 p.n. or thereabouts.

BA Feature Article Kicking it in Bali Drug Addiction Recovery Programs Even if you live under a rock in the hinterlands, you know that Bali has a serious drug problem. On a daily basis police and the drug squad (BNNP- National Narcotics Agency) make multiple arrests. Dealers, sub dealers, couriers, smugglers and users get scooped up into an ever widening dragnet. Drugs like ecstasy, ice, meth, cocaine, heroin and other subversive substances are con¿scated by the truckloads. Balaclava-clad perps are paraded before the weary eyes of the public and the media. The consequences of these arrests are often dire. Last year the Indonesian government executed 8 people for drug smuggling, including two of the Bali Nine group. Others are waiting their turn. At last count, the next list of victims is already drawn up and preparations are under way for the 2nd batch of state-sanctioned executions. By international standards, sanctions for drug related crimes in Indonesia are draconian. Long prison sentences have long been imposed and more and more perpetrators are now receiving death sentences, all due to Indonesia’s new president who has zero tolerance for drugs. Draconian or not, the fact remains that Indonesia is very clear on the consequences of drug smuggling. Every point of entry into the country has clear warnings in the style of “Death to drug smugglers”. It’s obvious, in-your-face, and yet, these warnings do not seem to have much impact or function as a deterrent. Drug use and addiction is the bane of all modern societies. It has a long history and a very high attraction rate. Wars have been fought over drugs and drugs have fueled many conÀicts in turn. The opium trade is probably the oldest of the drug trade and even in Bali the opium trade was thriving in old times. The drug was used to pacify Balinese slaves and ¿ghters. Modern day Bali has seen an avalanche of drugs. Just about every drug is traded here; many are even manufactured here. Drug use is very pervasive and the addiction rate among the people of this island is staggering. Not just in Bali. Indonesia ranks 3rd in worldwide drug use statistics. What is so attractive about drugs? Drug addiction, as many experts will tell you, is a disease just like alcoholism. The reason why some people are predisposed to become hardcore addicts has to do with many factors like genetics, environment, psychological make-up, anxiety disorders, etc. It takes little time for the body to crave an opiate once it is being consumed regularly, even recreationally. The craving leads to addiction and the only cure at this point is complete withdrawal. Like an ex-alcoholic who has to foreswear ever having a social drink again, the drug junkie also must totally abstain lest he or she relapses into the previous nasty habit. Drug rehabilitation is totally possible and many drug treatment programs boast about good success rates. It is a long and tenuous road as exempli¿ed by Danu, whose story was told in an earlier article. It is not easy but there are a respectable number of treatment centers on Bali that offer the necessary support to successfully kick the habit. They cater to both inpatient and outpatient clients and treatment costs range from the very affordable to the up-market luxurious. They offer a choice of treatment programs - traditional, holistic and spiritual – but most all make use of the famous 12-step program, a most effective course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion and other behavioral problems. Seasons is a private, fee-for-service enterprise with more than18 years experience in addiction treatment and so far has established residential rehabilitation program centers in Australia, Bali and Portugal. Thailand and Oman centers are in progress. Seasons Bali boasts two residential addiction treatment centers. There is an exclusive boutique style rehab in Pererenan that ensures absolute privacy and anonymity and takes only a small number of clients at a time. The other is Yayasan Musim Indonesia (Seasons Indonesia Foundation), a charity in Kerobokan which is an affordable rehab for westerners and free for local Indonesians. Both operate separately with the same model and a program that provides

a range of specialist treatment services to individuals suffering from drug and alcohol related problems. Seasons’ philosophy is to treat addiction and its underlying causes on the basis of the physical, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of this disease. It incorporates a very comprehensive recovery program that includes a range of clinical therapies and therapeutic activities in order to provide individuals with the best possible chance of becoming and staying clean. It recognizes that recovery is an ongoing and long-term process and, to maximize the chances of success, the Seasons program is tailored to the speci¿c needs of each individual. To minimize relapse the residential treatment program, ranging from 28 to 90 days, is followed by a re-integration program in transitional housing and a robust aftercare program that offers ongoing counseling and continuing outpatient support, as the recovering addict moves back into normal life and stays clean. Seasons boasts a success rate of 83% on its 90 day program, meaning that clients are still clean after 1 year. The 28-day program has a 40% success rate which indicates that longerterm stays are de¿nitely better. This compares very favorably with a 5 to 15% success rate in Australian government institutions and a 35% rate in private hospitals. The Seasons treatment plan starts with a 7-day detoxi¿cation program to ease withdrawal symptoms. This is followed by a bespoke program for each individual, administered by competent and quali¿ed staff members who are themselves recovering addicts. Seasons employs some 40 staffers, therapeutic practitioners and consulting medical doctors besides massage therapists, yoga instructors and art teachers. “I live my truth” says Seasons founder & program director Richard Smith. “I am a recovering addict myself and went through detox and withdrawal programs three times. I saw the gaps and decided to design a better program for which I was the proverbial test rabbit. I also incorporated the transitional housing plan to follow the addiction treatment program.” Considering Richard has been clean for 30 years, one could say his approach is clearly working. As a community service, Seasons reserves 10% of its patient capacity to treat Indonesian nationals for free. Typically these are addicts who are poor and have been unsuccessfully treated at other withdrawal centers. Richard proudly refers to it as a Robin Hood model, where revenue from paying customers is earmarked to help the very poor on their own road to recovery. Over the course of his career he has treated many people for free in the Seasons program. www,seasonsbali. com The Lighthouse, located in Sanur, is a private outpatient program which deals with i n d i v i d u a l recovering addicts on a one to one basis in a structured clinical p r o g r a m supported by intensive recovery coaching by experienced AOD (alcohol and other drug) counselors, certi¿ed educators and 24/7 backup and support. The Lighthouse has designed a holistic program, rooted in the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana with its focus on the interrelationship between man, spirit and nature. As such, the program seeks to create self-awareness in the individual’s reality, engender empowerment to overcome the challenges of withdrawal and bolster the self-esteem that comes with the realization that addiction and self-sabotage can be overcome. Intensive coaching by a team, who has itself overcome a variety of addictions, and the implementation of practical survival tools, engender a sense of security, motivation and trust. The approach to heal body, mind and spirit as an entity creates a balanced program of recovery from any drug or alcohol addiction. Danu Prasetyoko, director of The Lighthouse, explains that not everyone is a candidate for the “traditional lockdown rehab”, and, more often than not, frequent relapsers need a different experience. The Lighthouse is able to address the speci¿c needs of each client and tailor a unique program of recovery that focuses on those needs. Typically upon admission, clients undergo a complete medical

assessment and/or treatment by a consultant physician who is a Specialist in Psychiatry and Medicine. Where indicated, a detoxi¿cation program for alcohol and chemical dependency is administered under the supervision of health care professionals. Severe detox cases are referred to BIMC hospital prior to admission in The Lighthouse. When the client starts the recovery program at The Lighthouse, a primary wellness coach is assigned who will accompany the client throughout his or her voyage of recovery. The recovery program is totally client-centered and predicated upon his/her particular strengths and weaknesses. It is designed by experienced program managers and includes individual counseling sessions, immersion into a tailored education and wellness program, bolstered by wholesome physical and recreational activities. Given the intensity of this holistic approach, the program is limited to serve no more than 2 to 3 clients at the same time. Though this program serves clients on an outpatient basis, guests are accommodated in a private and safe environment close to the beach in Sanur where their treatment plan is monitored by their assigned wellness coach, under medical supervision if necessary. www.thelighthousebali.org Change Rehab in Ubud is a holistic wellness center founded and directed by Linda Buller, a famous Ubud artist, holistic healer, D o c t o r o f Tr a d i t i o n a l Chinese Medicine, and samaritan founder of B.A.R.C., an adoption and rehabilitation center for Bali’s abandoned and mistreated animals. Linda has a soft spot for people and animals in need. She has ¿rsthand knowledge and understanding of the misery and difficulties encountered by people addicted to alcohol and/or drugs as she is herself a recovering addict, now clean for 17 years. Linda started the Change inpatient rehab center as a way to provide a safe and healing environment for her son, also a substance abuser. She developed a unique rehabilitation and wellness program that combines proven and effective Western practices like a 12-step program and a good dose of eastern holistic healing techniques such as reiki, acupuncture, herbal therapy, massage and yoga. A full gym membership with personal trainer and frequent swimming sessions are part of the recovery plan. To balance it all, the treatment program also uses art, plant and animal therapy. Linda considers it a learning program for future achievements, teaching us to deal with life without addictions in a positive way, living life on life’s terms, with grace and surrender. The wellness center is housed in a private and homey villa close to Ubud where clients can enjoy total anonymity, seclusion and privacy. It functions as a sanctuary, far away from the stressful environments the clients left behind. A maximum of 5 inpatients are treated at one time to ensure the personal, one-on-one attention of the bespoke program that can last from 14 to 28 days. Due to the extensive medical care involved, detoxification is not part of the recovery treatment. Clients must be clean before they can enroll in the after-care wellness program. The center employs a consultant staff of diverse practitioners and therapists who work with the clients. They are all recovering addicts themselves. A unique part of the program is the dog therapy, an innovative treatment technique that puts humans and animals, both in recovery from traumatic experiences, in an environment where they can love and comfort one another and speed up recovery. As Linda says, “all the dogs are also in recovery and as we give love and care, we also recover because we are caring for ourselves; if you have the philosophy that we are all connected to a higher consciousness, then we are healing the planet too.”

BA FEATURE Continued from page 27 Linda is very involved with both Change and B.A.R.C. and she intends that the proceeds from the Change program will partially fund the adoption, treatment and homing of mistreated animals. She is also in the process of writing her memoirs, a book she hopes will reach out to people in need of addiction treatment by describing her own path from addiction to health. www.rehabinbali.com. “The only way out is in”, says Scott Bauer who is founder and director of Bali Addiction Treatment & Healing, a health and wellness retreat program in the Ubud area that is speci¿cally designed to treat all manner of addictions, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, depression, grief and anxiety. This is a recovery program which differs from the western rehabilitation model and is steeped in holistic and spiritual principles, based on the proven wisdom of ancient eastern philosophies. Typically the clients enroll in Scott’s program after they have undergone a medically supervised detoxi¿cation program elsewhere and are ready to continue their healing process in a natural, stress-free environment by immersing themselves in a day to day process of undoing the damage they inÀicted upon themselves.

C/Ci/I-27 April 16

The treatment plan is predicated upon understanding and treating the root causes of the individual’s addiction, rather than just treating the symptoms. Therefore it is designed for each individual client and speci¿cally tailored to his or her speci¿c needs. It is holistic in the sense that it treats all aspects of the individual: the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional make-up. It is composed of an artful mélange of spiritual practices, ayurvedic principles and physical & mental wellbeing activities. The program actively incorporates the 12-step program which Scott considers an essential component of the healing process. The spiritual practices may include yoga, pranayama, meditation, Balinese puri¿cation; ayurvedic diet, reiki, acupuncture, massage, cranio-sacral therapy; the physical & mental activities comprise music, art, dance, hiking. The Ashtanga yoga practiced is an 8-step path, seeking the calming of thoughts in the mind. The 8 steps involve Yama (restraints), Niyama (observances), Asana (position), Pranayama (breath regulation), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (liberation). The Bali Addiction Treatment & Healing program is administered at several sites in and around Ubud commensurate with the type of treatment required. Guest accommodations are in private villas or 5-star luxury properties such as the Purist Villas & Spas. Treatments can last anywhere from 14 to 60 days depending on the type of addiction or emotional dysfunction. Each day the client is guided by one or many of the therapeutic practitioners on call. Scott himself has been clean for 12 years and adamantly believes that only an ex-addict can truly understand, empathize and support the dif¿cult process of recovery and reintegration of the recovering addict into society. It is an intensive but very effective program which has an average success rate of 60% for the 60-day program. Clients typically come from high stress environments like Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, the US; by immersion into a natural setting and the healing practices of the program, they start their transformation and recovery in a safe, comforting and supportive space. Meditation, not medication is the leitmotiv of this healing center. www.baliaddictiontreatment. com A quick Google search will turn up more rehabilitation and drug treatment programs in Bali which more or less follow the same pattern and employ similar modalities. Their websites contain speci¿c information about their individual programs. On the Indonesian side, there are a few non-pro¿t organizations and some government sponsored programs to treat addicts. Yakita (Yayasan Kasih Kita) is an NGO specializing in intervention, treatment and aftercare programs. Yakita makes use of proven recovery methods and techniques for treatment and healing from addiction. More than just a drug recovery program, it is a community working with addicts including those with HIV and Hepatitis C. Yakita’s main programs are drug treatment & recovery, prevention education, peer counseling, harm reduction, prison PALS, education and training. They are a nation-wide and international NGO with a chapter in Renon. Yakeba (Yayasan Kesehatan Bali). The Bali Health Foundation is not an addiction treatment center but functions mainly as a support organization and as a center of information on referrals, prevention, care, and support of HIV-AIDS patients and drug abusers. Yakeba has initiated several programs for drug users including Harm Reduction among injecting drug users, a community based addiction recovery program, a peer-driven support program, voluntary counseling and testing (VCT), prison program, Vocational skills for former drug users (KUBE). Yakeba also runs several programs for high-risk communities like male homosexuals, TB sufferers, and people infected with HIV. The ARK Bal is a private, individual treatment center in Sanur with a no-frills residential program that packs a lot of punch. They are also one of the most affordable. www.arkbali. com GERASA (Generasi Bisa Indonesia) in Denpasar is another NGO doing a lot of work with drug addicts in outreach, prevention and mitigation programs. They also have programs for AIDS/HIV infected people, and work with victims of human traf¿cking and youthful offenders.

She continued to come daily to have the wounds treated and on day ten, the stitches were removed. Everyone she knew that she met noticed immediately that she looked different and better. We’ve all seen the photos Two weeks later all the stitches were gone and she was a in magazines of botched new woman. jobs performed on several celebrities. But here in Bali When I was shown Elly’s before and after photos it’s dif¿cult we have a talented Balinese to believe she’s the same woman. Even now ¿ve years c o s m e t i c s u r g e o n w i t h later she looks twenty years younger. She said, “I would twenty years experience, recommend this procedure to anyone who wants to look with training in Germany and feel younger and better about themselves. This is and Holland.

I’ve known Dr. Surya for a couple of years and ¿nd him to be charming and immediately likable. Without my own personal experience I was introduced to Elly, a 74 year old elegant lady, who had a facelift performed by Dr. Surya ¿ve and a half years ago. I would never have guessed that she’s over seventy, looking more like fifty-something. She enthusiastically agreed to be my subject. Elly had previously sustained serious burns to 80% of her body and at 68 had lost everything in Australia. She was determined to make the best of her situation and begin by improving herself. Visiting Bali her friend brought her to Dr. Surya, who had given her friend a treatment. Elly immediately liked and trusted him and decided to have a facelift right away. It’s recommended that a patient avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for two weeks prior to surgery to prevent excessive bleeding and speed up healing. Although Elly didn’t follow the no drinking rule very diligently she went ahead with the surgery. Dr. Surya’s nurses and staff were friendly and made her feel comfortable, “like family”. She was given “twilight” medication that consists of a tablet and injection which made her feel sleepy so she wouldn’t feel any pain for the next 2 to 3 hours. Without the risks of general anesthetic, patients are able to return to their hotel and home following surgery, which also keeps the costs lower. She reported drifting in and out of sleep during the procedure but felt no pain. Afterwards, all bandaged up she was able to return home with pain killers and anti-biotics. She was given a nurse’s emergency phone number and told to call her anytime if there was a problem. Elly returned to the clinic everyday for the next four days to change the bandage and on the fourth day the bandage was

It depends on how well you’ve taken care of your skin and your general health. Your genetics are a factor too. Smoking and drinking are both bad aging habits. Yes, having facials and other treatments do help, but there comes a point when the botox, fillers, laser and threads just can’t do the trick anymore. Especially if you have excess baggage under or above your eyes, your laugh lines aren’t looking very happy, the skin around your jaw is sagging and your neck is looking more like a turkey’s. You look in the mirror and it can no longer tell you that you’re the fairest of them all.

After forty is a good time to consider a mini-lift of the upper face. After ¿fty is time to think about a full facelift. After sixty it’s probably is time for a full facelift. This goes for men too. Generally a good facelift will be good for ten years before the skin starts to show signs of aging again. In the long run it’s cheaper than many laser facial treatments over the years. A facelift now costs 5 to 6 thousand Australian dollars.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH C/He/I-08 June 16

C/He/G-25 May 16

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

IN THE NEWS…. ZIKA VIRUS…Is it really here? Zika virus... is it really here? According to the Australian Government Health site it is. It claims that Indonesia (including Bali) has sporadic outbreaks of the disease. The Indonesian Heath Department claims that it is NOT here. So whom do we believe? Well let’s look at some facts and make a common sense conclusion.

the risk of being infected in Bali is probably quite low however you would be wise to avoid mosquito bites (see previous BA articles on mosquito repellants). This is also a consideration when protecting yourself against other nasty mosquito borne diseases, which would have a negative effect on your pregnancy such as dengue and malaria (East Islands only). COUNTERFEIT VACCINES…Should I be worried?

• Zika only exhibits symptoms in 1 in 5 of those that are infected • Zika is dif¿cult to diagnose, and lab tests are not readily available in Bali • Zika symptoms are very similar to a myriad of other illnesses • Bali has a large population of the Aedes Egypti Mosquito which is the vector that transmits not only Zika, but also Dengue & Chikungunya • Bali has a huge transient human population, from all over the globe All these things considered, we could safely assume that if Zika is not here now, then it probably will be in the near future. In fact ANY country (Including Australia) that has the Aedes Egypti mosquito is at risk of developing outbreaks. Now the million dollar question…should you leave the Island or cancel your Bali holiday if you are pregnant? That’s a personal decision given that the effects of the virus on the unborn baby are so devastating. At this stage

Should you be concerned regarding the latest counterfeit vaccine scandal? Probably not. The counterfeit vaccines in question have been distributed to private hospitals in several provinces in Java over the past 10 years. Bali has not been mentioned in any statements up to date. The falsi¿ed vaccines for Hepatitis B, Polio & Tetanus are under the “BioFarma” label. If your children were vaccinated in Java from 2004 onwards you may want to check their records to make sure they have been given the real thing. If your child has received a vaccine, which may not be the original medication, don’t panic. No harm has come to any child from receiving the substance, which apparently was just a mixture of normalsaline and antibiotic. (The aim was to make lots & lots of money selling vials of salty water, not to harm children) The issue here is that the children that received the counterfeit are not protected against the diseases, which they thought they were being immunized for.

The Indonesian Government is launching a massive “free of charge” campaign to issue original vaccines to the children that may have missed out. If you are taking your child for vaccinations always make sure that the details of the vaccine are correctly recorded. This should include the name, batch number & expiry date of the vaccine (most vaccines come with stickers that go on to your vaccine card these days). The date, location and name of the doctor, nurse and/or clinic should also be recorded. Keep your vaccine records in a safe place. Not all clinics keep records, or will only keep records for a limited amount of time. This is a despicable act, and I really hope that the perpetrators are heavily punished for this. It is beyond my comprehension how people can put children’s health at risk for their own ¿nancial gain. Anyone that has been vaccinated at our clinic, or plan to be vaccinated at our clinic can rest assured that all our vaccines come from reputable distributors. Kim Patra is a qualified Midwife & Nurse Practioner who has been living and working in Bali for over 30 years. She now runs her own Private Practice & Mothers & Babies center at her Community Health Care of¿ce in Sanur. Kim is happy to discuss any health concerns that you have and may be contacted via email at balikim2000@gmail.com, or office phone 085105-775666 or https://www.facebook.com/ CHC Bali

World’s Top 11 Healthcare Systems UK tops list - US trails in last place

The United States health care system is the most expensive in the world, but reports from the US and the World Health Organisation consistently show the US underperforms relative to other countries surveyed on most health criteria.

offs between universal coverage and timely access to specialized services are inevitable; however that is clearly not the case, as the Netherlands, UK and Germany all provide universal coverage with low out-of-pocket costs while maintaining quick access to specialty services.

The UK tops the list overall with Switzerland second, but is expensive - while France has the most healthy people. Australians and expatriates living in Bali may be happy and reassured to note that Australia, coming in No.4 is the country that does consistently well in all categories measured.

• Efficiency: on indicators of efficiency, the US ranks last among the 11 countries, with the UK and Sweden ranking first and second, respectively. The US has poor performance on measures of national health expenditures and administrative costs as well as on measures of administrative hassles, avoidable emergency room use, and duplicative or redundant medical testing.

Payangan: Rishi Markandya Country Few areas of Bali blend such ultra sophistication and chic modernity with the tradition and charm of rural life as well as archeological sites that seem encapsulated in a distant time. Studded amidst the hilly 500-m-high Payangan subdistrict’s narrow country roads, lychee orchards, paddy ¿elds and archaic villages are sumptuous villas, worldclass luxury hotel properties and exclusive wellness retreats. Located in northwestern Gianyar regency of central Bali only a 30 minutes drive from downtown Ubud, Payangan is also a spiritual journey into Bali’s mythological past. The whole region around Ubud has always been an important spiritual center. The conÀuence of two important rivers spurred the founding of a number of temples in the countryside. Searching for these outlying and seldom visited old temples in the desa adat of the area replicates a spiritual pilgrimage made by a holy man in ancient times. The temples, erected by Sri Markandya or his followers, are all related to each other in one way or another. The legend of Rishi Markandya goes back more than 600 years ago when Bali was a distant and dangerous island on the edge of civilization. After meditating on Mt. Dieng in Central Java to gather strength and knowledge, the great Rishi set out eastwards to Mt. Raung in the region of Banyuwangi, East Java. There he cleared forests and built an ashram before continuing his journey, crossing over the narrow strait and traveling to Besakih, Taro, Tegallalang and other propitious sites in a wild land. This is the same wandering priest who founded Tanah Lot in the 11th C., building this high temple on a precipitous rock over the crashing ocean. Along the way he disseminated religious knowledge and taught agricultural technology. The temples of Payangan established by Rishi Markandya are today pilgrimage sites with long traditions. Each temple harbors the usual inventory of structures and requisite statuary but their locations are unique in that forests surround them. As we were guests on holy ground and the attending pemangku were not accustomed to tourists, we bene¿ted greatly by taking a local Balinese guide and driver who knew the back roads from his boyhood and was able to ask directions. Visitors should be invited to enter the temple and the proper protocols observed. The head of the banjar and the village kids eventually discovered that a bule has arrived and began converging on the temple. In several of the temples, our visit coincided with activities underway in preparation for a temple festival (odalan); artists were touching up old masks, men were stripping palm leaf and laborers building scaffolding and erecting temporary shelters. On the way to Kintamani, we took the road to the east 500 m before Pasar Payangan (signboard) to Pura Murwa Bhumi in Pangaji village, said to be the ¿rst place that the Rishi gave sermons to his followers. Pengaji is taken from pengajian (“learning”). In the spacious courtyard were old wooden pavilions on piles, stone carvings of demons and weathered sculptures of Arjuna, a major protagonist of the Mahabharata epic; the monkey god Hanuman, the evil Sri Lankan King Rawana, the elephant-headed Ganesha, various gargoyles and a wonderful crawling naga high up in a pavilion. Take note of the babaturan (menhir) shrine and the red chamber, the symbolic abode of the Rishi. At Pura Penataran (or more colorfully Pura Er Jeruk) in Semoan village, we walked up a long stairway set with mosaic tiles. The name Er Jeruk was inspired from the belief that if one meditates

within the con¿nes of the temple, oranges will appear which will enable the devotee to attain magical powers. It’s believed that when the juice is given to a dead person, he is able to come to life again. There was a large candi bentar, terraces lined with statues, a lingga clothed in the checkered poleng cloths, reliefs of candi and the Sangghyang Widi godhead carved in stone and grass covered pedestals. Rishi Markandya is said to be the creator of the padmasana architecture in Balinese Hindu temples. I found two of these empty thrones here, considered altars to the Supreme God. Pura Er Jeruk is connected to the Pura Puser Tasik, the next temple we visited down a village road on the way to Ponggang village. Lying at 585 m, the wide grass yard held modest buildings and dressed statuary. A rough naga stone sculpture sat aloft in a pavilion. The various piles of stones on the grounds, remnants of old statuary from a ruined temple, were excavated while building a road. The attendant told us that more broken statues lay scattered in the surroundings but prickly plants discouraged exploring. After repeated inquiries we pulled up in front of our fourth temple, Pura Puseh in P e n g i n y a h a n . Wa l k i n g through an old rusted iron gate, I noticed immediately the high alarm drum kulkul tower and the small rainforest serving as backdrop. The temple’s main attraction was the Bale Agung guarded by stylized Garuda, half-horse half human kinnara sculptures and lolling tongued Rangda, the manifestation of Durga who is seen in Balinese dances as the evil witch. Jataka animal and other folktales wound around the bases of alters all in a row. A monster was swallowing a man. The mottled statuary was covered with lichen and ferns giving them appearance of great age. The very old Pura Mas Angker in Kerta village, the ¿fth temple we visited, featured carved and gilded two-paneled doors, strong fat bellied guardian ¿gures with heavy clubs and venerably weathered split gates. The huge yard was paved with immense cement blocks with grass growing through the cracks. A tiger (harimau) sculpture loomed up high up in a pavilion. Some of the structures were built of black andesite volcanic blocks and thick beams supported by heavy rough-hewn wooden pillars on stone pyramids. In our secular tour of Rishi Markandya’s legacy, we must not neglect to mention the peaceful, mystical Pura Gunung Lebah (Mountain of Bees Temple) down in a valley a little outside of Ubud. Built by the Rishi during his legendary travels, stonewalls and towering pagoda are prominent hallmarks of this ancient but recently renovated temple. The temple can be reached from Jl. Raya Campuhan by descending and then crossing a bridge over the Wos River from the Ibah Hotel or the Tjampuhan Hotel in Campuhan. Besides local Balinese making daily offerings, not many tourists visit this beautiful pura with its surrounding garden, tropical trees, lush greenery and mystical air that is featured in ridge walks out of Campuhan. Be prepared for Àights of stairs and vendors along the way. KDongDing Local Culinary Journey Cruising around narrow leafy back roads is not the only activity the Payangan area offers. A cultural experience of a different kind satiates both one’s hunger and curiosity about daily family

life. A cooking lesson presented is the perfect diversion for those who want to avoid Ubud’s well-trodden tourist itineraries. Pak I Dhono hosts this remarkable and well-organized class. The “KDongDing Local Culinary Journey” is suitable for people of all levels of gastronomic skill. Even those with some Asian cooking experience will learn new dishes, techniques and cultural insights into Balinese cuisine. Children from ¿ve to teenage years will love it too. Before you know it, you are savoring a feast created out of your own labor. One of the KDongDing team picks clients up from their place of residence in Ubud. You are then taken on a relaxing cool morning walk through the Payangan market near U b u d . Wa y a n A p e l (Apple), a charming guide who speaks great English, takes you around different market stalls while explaining the various kinds of fresh produce and ingredients. Even though you might have seen some of the produce before, you may be unsure of what to do with it. As you are able to touch, smell and taste, this is a wonderful way to learn about local fruits, vegetables and spices as well as getting an introduction into the island’s rural life, the workings of a typical Balinese household and the cultural signi¿cance behind the foods. The traditional cooking class is held in a family compound of smiling faces and extensive gardens. Coffee and treats are served and a traditional gift is presented to guests. Then participants get to work creating an amazing ¿ve-course banquet. At the end the class sits down to enjoy the food they themselves have prepared. A tour of the grounds follows in which you meet the families and their roosters, chickens, cows, pigs, kittens and puppies. The staff is charming, patient and funny. I Dhono’s enthusiasm, voluble English and wit are infectious. He is an accomplished chef with abundant knowledge about his craft and is eager to share his passion for the Balinese culture and food. The guru teaches in a way that makes cooking fun, walking his students through the ingredients and each of the steps of the menu. The recipes are taught hands on and are so well explained and demonstrated that one is convinced that they will be inspired to recreate the various dishes again at home for friends and family. There are many cooking schools in Bali, but this is one of the best ‘total’ experiences. Affordable and good value, the food is sensational and the family environment makes the class special. School graduates even leave with a certi¿cate!

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris

Figs and Passionfruits ‘Dear Garden Doctor, I have 2 trees that died very close together (time and space. Wondering if it’s a natural processed for this tree when it reaches the time of making a fruit. I put here a picture of leaves at last stage. Sad. Thanks, Jiva’ From the photo that you have sent me, it appears that you have a ¿g tree. An interesting fact about ¿gs is that the pulp inside the fruit is actually a conglomeration of multiples of tiny little Àowers. That’s right – the inside of the fruit is actually full of Àowers. The tree and its leaves also contain a milky sap that can cause allergic reactions in some people so make sure to be careful when pruning. One of the joys of growing ¿gs is being able to eat them freshly picked direct from the tree. Figs are a very popular landscaping plant as well - they can be trimmed into a manageable size, grown as a hedge or even trained onto and up a wall. The most likely reason that your ¿g tree isn’t doing so well is due to improper watering, either too little or too much. Watering plants isn’t always as simple as it seems and this can be true for ¿gs. Too much or too little water can result in an unhealthy tree resulting in leaf drop. When cultivated in a home garden, the tree may respond to irregular watering by dropping leaves. If this happens, it is essential to adjust watering so that the root ball doesn’t stay either too dry or too wet for an extended period of time. Once watering practices are corrected and regulated, the tree should produce a new group of leaf buds within a few weeks. An important consideration is whether or not your ¿g is growing in a pot. If it is, it is more likely that the plant is lacking water. You should water your ¿g tree whenever the soil is dry to the touch. Water thoroughly, until you can see water running out through the bottom of the pot. During the fruiting stage maintain regular watering to ensure the plumpness of the fruit. Alternatively if your ¿g tree is planted in the ground the

problem could actually be too much water, especially if planted in a heavy clay soil or a soil with poor drainage. Heavy clay can limit the drainage of water, leading to water logging, causing stunted roots. The plant will not thrive under these conditions and exhibits stress as you describe and have shown in the photo. You may need to dig down into the soil and investigate a few feet down to see whether the water is freely draining. If you do ¿nd poor drainage, you may need to re-situate this plant onto a raised bed so that there is adequate water run-off. You should also consider mulching the soil to keep the soil from drying and reduce root temperature. By adjusting the watering schedule you should be able to recover these plants. ‘Hello Garden Doctor Kris, I read your article on vertical growing and noticed that you particularly enjoy growing passionfruit up the base of palm trees. This was something I am trying to do as we speak. My passionfruit vines are only a couple of inches tall at the moment, but I want to get an idea of how it will work before it gets too late. Basically my questions are as follows: Do I need to leave the bark of the palm tree on it, or should it be shaved off? It seems if the bark is shaved off that it will be too smooth of a surface for the tendrils to grab on to. Since you have experience in this, can you please provide some advice? These are about 30-40ft tall Palm Trees. I have attached a picture of what kind of palm tree I have and the bark I am speaking of. Thank you very

much for your help! (Note: The Palm Tree is smooth on the bottom and has the “bark” on the top half. I have the bark down to the bottom of my trees, just wondering if it is necessary for the vines to climb up. I currently have a passion fruit vine planted on each side of the tree (2 total/tree) Sincerely, Kyle’ The basic idea for vertical gardening is the concept of increasing your horizontal garden space by growing plants vertically. Growing vertical gardens is a great way to ¿ll up a garden by maximising the available space, they are not only visually pleasing, but space saving and ef¿cient as well. As for passionfruit, it really is the one of the ultimate vertical garden fruit plants. Passionfruit vines can be grown along fences, up a trellis or even up and over structures creating a lovely canopy through which the fruit drops down. Growing passionfruit up a palm tree as you suggest will require some planning. If you have palms with rough bark on the trunks that the passionfruit tendrils can easily grab then you should be able to grow your vines directly onto the palms with no extra effort. If the surface of the trunk is smooth as many palms are, then you will need to attach some sort of trellis - the vine will need something to grab onto! The best way is to wrap a wire trellis around the trunk of the palm tree. You will need a ladder, and either wire or plastic fencing material or something else suitable to use as a trellis. Wrap it around the tree at the base and ¿x it in place by tying it with wire where the two ends meet once you have wrapped it. Start from the base at ground level and extend up to a height that you are comfortable with. You only want the passion fruit to grow as high as your ladder will allow you to reach, but even if you don’t have a ladder wrapping the trellis material around the tree up to 7 feet from the base of the tree should still be enough surface area to grow some passionfruit. You won’t have much success without a trellis because as you correctly point out there will be nothing for the tendrils to grab onto if the trunk is smooth.

HECTOR’S The Sisyphus Factor The retreat of the resources sector is apparently hitting the accommodation and pembantu sectors in Jakarta, as well as business generally. For a country such as Indonesia, just as for Australia, depressed demand and sinking prices for commodities hit hard. It can have escaped no one’s notice that at the moment the global economy is not quite what it could be. Bali is less directly affected by global economic factors, except in tourism, since its main industry appears to be creating bureaucratic bumf and impenetrable thickets of regulations that are sometimes enforced and frequently overlooked in return for brown envelopes. But it is these ever tighter and ever-changing regulations that are impacting on Bali. These affect Indonesians too. Everyone’s tearing out hair in frustration. Toupee makers and retailers could make a killing. That’s if they could acquire the right permits. On that point (and see below for more) a song comes to mind: “There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza…” Perhaps the provincial government doesn’t care that new and unrealistic demands for possession of a KITAP (an expensive ¿ve-year permanent stay visa) for the most basic of expatriate needs, such as vehicle ownership, registration renewals, even a local driver’s licence, are beginning to annoy people, and are making numbers of them have dif¿culty justifying remaining in paradise; especially since it plainly isn’t. It’s more reminiscent of poor Sisyphus’s problem with that rock he was condemned forever to roll up a hill. There’s more, but as this is both a moveable and a continuing feast, there will be time to come back to further comedy later. In the meantime, since the property market is profoundly depressed – in part by unrealistic asking prices, another constant in Mittyland – and because the bene¿ts of bothering to stay are reducing with depressing regularity, the pembantu sector here should also be getting concerned. Housework is not only an entry-level job in the real economy, but also a lifeline for people with very little money at all. Some evidence that the provincial government understands the principle of attracting residents who will employ people would be a boon.

Fools’ Rules We heard a sorry tale the other day. Someone – an Indonesian; as we noted above it happens to them too – went to a government of¿ce to apply for permit X. The answer? “Sorry, you must have Letter Y from the police station ¿rst. New rules.” At the police station, they said: “Sorry, you must bring permit X to us before we can issue Letter Y. New rules.” Apparently there was stalemate, as both of¿ces refused to budge because it was not their problem. Perhaps someone should tell Governor Pastika, who might then tell President Jokowi, that Indonesia is never going to be Raya, except in popular imagination and by political paean, until this sort of bureaucratic idiocy is eliminated.

Singing in the Rain It’s been raining in Bali quite a lot recently. The comics among us have noted that this must be because it’s the dry season. But lest this inclemency lead to more apocalyptic pronouncements from ignorant scribblers writing in tabloids, virtual and real, in Australia, where anything to bash Bali is apparently regarded as de rigueur, we posted a little Facebook note on Jun. 27 for them, and others, to read. It said this: It is raining here in Bali, musim hujan style when it is supposed to be musim kering. This is not because the forest spirits are angry with us, or that Gaia has had to put on a thicker facemask when she’s belting around in the pollution on her scooter. It is, by the look of it, the effect of a strong La Niña swiftly superseding a particularly feisty El Niño. Google it.

Brexit Strategy We can all sit here in Bali – if we can ¿nd an empty seat while Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya are having their annual holiday jamboree here over the post-Ramadhan Lebaran holiday, or get through the traf¿c to where we’d like to plunk our posteriors – and say that Brexit is of peripheral interest only. And on one level, that’s certainly true. But the vote has shaken the post-war order, threatened the unity of the UK, undermined the EU as a visionary concept, and will have given the Putinists (or perhaps the Vladists) in the Kremlin ideas for all sorts of inventive mischief. The referendum on leaving the European Community was

apparently organized – though that hardly seems to correct word – to engineer a Remain outcome. Instead the Leavers narrowly won, though not in Scotland or in London or in Northern Ireland. The unintended constitutional and economic consequences were not foreseen, and still can’t be fully discerned: it’s early days in what will surely become known as the Great British Cock-Up. There’s a lot wrong with the EU. It is run by quarantined bureaucrats, not by elected legislators, and shouldn’t be. Globalization is everyone’s bête noir, though it too shouldn’t be. Instead, the world needs to limit corporate power. It has the political means to do this. It simply needs the will.

C/G/G-30 Sept. 15

The Australian lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, writing in The Guardian after the Brexit vote, said this, which is worth pondering: “Our democracy does not allow, much less require, decisionmaking by referendum. That role belongs to the representatives of the people and not to the people themselves. Democracy has never meant the tyranny of the simple majority, much less the tyranny of the mob (otherwise, we might still have capital punishment). Democracy entails an elected government, subject to certain checks and balances such as the common law and the courts, and an executive ultimately responsible to parliament, whose members are entitled to vote according to conscience and common sense.” Among the chumps who came out shouting before thinking after the vote – we exclude the British prime minister, who quietly announced that he would resign, having ¿nally worked out that his miscalculation was political suicide – was the Republican presumptive nominee for POTUS, Donald Trump. Arriving in Scotland the day after the Jun. 24 referendum that rocked the UK and may well trigger further political shocks, and apparently to open the latest of his hotel excrescences in the kingdom, Trump tweeted to the effect that he congratulated the Scots on voting to quit the EU. Hopefully he is now better informed, though a cautious punter wouldn’t bet on that. But he should certainly now know a thing or two about Scottish humour. It is of the withering sort that would cause a toupee to combust at two hundred paces. The Scots probably invented humour. They needed it to go with the golf. Presumptive Candidate Trump immediately received a barrage of tweets in return. Try this: Scotland voted Remain, you tiny ¿ngered, cheetah faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon. Ouch. There were others, even less kind.

Vin+ Indeed It’s a trek to Seminyak, for those whose domestic quarters are sited on the breezy, cooler Bukit, but there are occasions when getting out on the Lemming Highway and playing dodgems for 90 minutes to travel 20 kilometres make the journey worthwhile. So when our favourite Brazilian, Alexsander Martins Paim, general manager at Vin+, asked us along to a friendly fourcourse wine pairing dinner on Jun. 27 with cuisine by chef Arief Wicaksono, late of Métis, and wines by leading Chilean winemaker Casillero del Diablo, we were far from disposed to decline. Had we foolishly decided not to attend, we’d have missed out in particular on the 18 Hours Tokusen Wagyu beef, which would have been a crime, and the P125 Dark Chocolate Parfait, which would have been complete idiocy. The wines were paired very well. Our favourite was the 2010 Concha y Toro Terrunyo Carmenere. It went brilliantly with the beef and with the chat around the table with Marian Carroll of Four Seasons and Bali-based British scribbler Samantha Coomber. Vin+ is also doing a very affordable wine free-Àow session from 4pm-8pm daily. The Lemming Highway might be getting more of a workout from the Diary in future. We’ve marked our diary for Aug. 16. Vin + has a sundown wine carnival that day with ¿ne food and great bottles of vin very far from ordinaire from around the world.

Save Our Oceans Waterman’s Week 2016, the idea of Mike O’Leary of ROLE Foundation, is under way as we go to print. It runs from Jul. 1-10. Saving the world’s oceans and their precious marine life forms is not just a good idea. Without viable oceans the global ecology will literally sicken and eventually die, and so will we. Think about that.

Say What? C/Ho/G-13 April 16

Question: My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for 2+ years. He has three daughters, all of whom are in university and live away from home, and I have a son who worships the ground my boyfriend walks on. My boyfriend and I love each other very much, and we know we could have a beautiful life together. The problem is that his first wife burned him on relationships, and he is now deathly afraid of commitment. I can’t imagine a life with anyone else. He knows how I feel, and we both know we would be good to each other because we are now. He is afraid that, if we make a commitment, I will someday leave him. I’m 42, and he’s 51. How do I convince him that I know that will never happen, that I want to spend the rest of my life with him, and that I want to be with him always? I know our remaining years will be happy together. Dr. ZZ: Chances are you have shared this with him, and for some reason, he is in resistance. Either the two of you need to work this out, or else you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that you are in a long term dating relationship, and that may or may not be a compromise you are willing to make. He is not considering your feelings here because he is so worried about his own. Can a woman your age - or any age - be expected to date a man indefinitely? Try to get him into counseling. Chances are you would benefit greatly from working through some of these issues with a professional. Your feelings need to be considered here, too. A third party may be able to get him to see beyond his fears.

Question: : I’m 20 years old, a junior in college, and completing foreign study in Bali. Back home, there’s tension between my parents and me. The two of them think that I plan to return to living with them at home when I graduate. That, however, is not my plan. My mother is borderline abusive. She has a lot of problems and tends to take them out on me. She suffers from depression and gets moody easily. When this happens, she begins to shout and refuses to leave the house for days. She’ll say that she’s too sick to go to work, or that she can’t be bothered to go. She completely gives up on doing any sort of work around the house, and her trash piles up everywhere. If my dad or I try to pick up after her, she begins shouting at us, and won’t let us do any of the work. She claims that she’ll get to it “eventually,” before she starts crying that we hate her. “Eventually” never comes, and the house only gets worse. At some point, they’re going to expect me to come home and live long term, but I can’t. I can’t stand the house, and I can’t stand my mother. I know a lot of the time she means well, and that she loves me; I know I’m important to her. But a lot of her behaviors are classic signs of abuse. I can’t cut off complete contact with the family because of my dad; he practically raised me, and he’s paying my tuition. It wouldn’t be right. At the same time, I don’t enjoy talking with them frequently, and I don’t know how to break it to them that I’m planning on not returning to their house to live again. Help! Dr. ZZ: You are smart to arrange your life so that you spend as little time as possible at home. People, the way you describe your mother, don’t just decide to stop acting they

C/Ho/G-19 August 15

way they do. They need a lot of help, and they often refuse and resist assistance when it’s available. There is nothing you can do about your mom’s problems, and there is nothing you can do to “save” your dad. He’s an adult and will leave or stay as he chooses. If you moved back home, it would not fix the situation. Nobody’s life would get better, and your life would get worse from the stress, tension and health hazards of living in an abusive household. Let your dad help you with your education. He’s doing what he can to help you achieve escape velocity. Bless him, and enjoy it. Complete your studies without guilt. This is what you are supposed to be doing with your life right now. Seek whatever counseling resources you can that may be available to you as part of your tuition. As for breaking the news that you won’t be moving back into the house after graduation, this is not a conversation you need to have right now. Let the school counselor hold your hand and help you safely defuse the explosive feeling bombs your mom has installed in your life. In the meantime, keep your future plans to yourself, and speak about them only very vaguely. You are not responsible for your parents’ assumptions about how you’ll live your life. If your parents talk about how you’ll be moving back after graduation, be as noncommittal as you can. Then finish school, work at an awesome career, make as much money as you can, pay back your loans, and invite your parents to visit periodically. Go home when and for as long as you can stand it, and stay in a hotel when you do. You are awesome, and you are handling the situation amazingly well. I don’t have any worries about you whatsoever.

Dengue Fever - Don’t Panic

There’s a lot of discussion and misinformation around these days about how to manage a case of dengue fever. The following is a simpli¿ed extract taken from the World Health Organization (WHO) Handbook for Clinical Management of Dengue. Nikki Macfarlane, who has studied health issues/ research for the past 20 years, edited the handbook for this column. WHO is the global authority on dengue. Inform yourself! Dengue fever is a virus carried by the Aedes mosquito. In most cases a person with dengue recovers without treatment. In rare cases, it can lead to dengue shock or severe dengue, which is life threatening. The Aedes mosquito, which has distinctive white banding on the legs, bites during the day. Using mosquito nets when you sleep won’t reduce your risk of getting dengue since they don’t usually bite at night, but it will prevent mosquitoes picking up the infection from you if you’re sick. There are four different types/ variations (serotypes) of dengue. Once you’ve been infected by one you’ll have lifelong immunity to that type, but could still catch one of the others. You can’t catch dengue from another person, only from an infected mosquito. Taking antibiotics for dengue will not help. Dengue is a virus. Antibiotics only help with bacterial infections. (A virus cannot mutate into a bacteria.) Symptoms appear 4-10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The symptoms have three clear phases - febrile (fever), critical (acute) and recovery.

the research has shown that IV Àuids at the early stage of the illness may make complications more likely and lead to a longer hospital stay (1) Febrile (Fever) Phase (Days 1-5) In most cases, the illness starts with a high temperature that comes on suddenly, usually 39oC-41oC (102.2oF - 107.6oF) This lasts for 2-5 days. NOTE: Children often do not have a high fever when they have dengue. They may feel a little warm, or even be cooler than normal, but are more likely to just feel achy or have red eyes. Symptoms • Increased temperature • Itchy skin, especially hands and feet • Flushing to the face • Red eyes • Headache • Nausea or vomiting • Aching of muscles and joints • Dehydration There might be minor bleeding from the gums, nose or vagina. The liver may be tender (right side of the body just below the ribs). Testing • Blood test for hematocrit, white blood cells and platelet levels from day 3 (after fever starts) • Antigen test An antigen test might not show dengue until day 4-5. The WHO recommend only testing for antibodies after day 5 (2). These tests can be done at a clinic or hospital, the Prodia clinic, or Prodia can come to your house. Treatment Many people go to hospital as soon as they feel ill or have been diagnosed with dengue. At this stage, the only treatment that can be given in hospital is IV Àuids to help with dehydration. You can also have a clinic nurse come to your house to put in an IV for Àuids. There is no evidence that IV Àuids given at this stage shorten the disease or prevent complications from happening.

In fact, the research has shown that IV Àuids at the early stage of the illness may make complications more likely and lead to a longer hospital stay (1). The WHO recommend that IV Àuids are not given for non-severe dengue, if patient is able to drink Àuids and pass urine at least every 6 hours (2). Drinking water or coconut water can prevent dehydration, provided you are not vomiting. Coconut water can lower blood pressure so it should be used with caution if your blood pressure is already low (3). There is some evidence that drinking juice from young papaya leaves can help minimize the drop in platelet levels and speed recovery (4). Papaya leaves are very bitter and can be mixed with honey. In Ubud, the Juice Ja cafe provides shots of papaya juice and will deliver for anyone who has dengue. Temu kunci (Bosenbergia rotunda) has been shown to interfere with the replication of the virus in at least one, and possibly more, of the dengue variations (5). Temu kunci is a plant from the ginger family which grows locally. The rhizomes (that grow underground) are made into a tincture or slices can be eaten raw. There is growing evidence that temu kunci may prove to be a highly effective treatment and preventative. Acetaminophen might be helpful to help with the headache or muscle pain. DO NOT take aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), ponstan (mefenemic acid), ibuprofen or other NSAIDs or steroids. All can cause bleeding. Critical (Acute) Phase (Days 5-8) Somewhere between days 3-7, the temperature returns to normal. During this stage the blood capillaries become more permeable, or leaky, and plasma can leak out of the blood vessels. The critical phase lasts for 24-48 hours. If your condition improves once your temperature drops, you have non-severe dengue. Although very rare, if a significant amount of plasma is lost through leakage, dengue shock can occur which is life-threatening. If not treated, there can be organ damage and hemorrhage. Symptoms Once you are in the critical phase, your temperature will return to normal. You might also have: • Skin rash • Aching muscles and joints • Itchy hands and feet Testing A blood test can identify plasma leakage. The ¿rst signs of leakage are: • decreasing white blood cell count (below 5,000 cells per mm3) • decreasing platelet levels (below 100,000 cells per mm3) • increasing hematocrit levels Warning Signs The WHO advise that if the following occur you should be treated in hospital (2): • Bleeding from the nose or gums • Red spots or patches on the skin • Vomiting blood • Black coloureds stools

• Heavy vaginal bleeding • Severe abdominal pain • Frequent vomiting or not able to drink • No urine output for 4-6 hours • Pale or cold hands and feet • Breathing dif¿culty • Dizziness • Mental confusion or seizures They also recommend that pregnant women, infants, the aged, or people with diabetes, hypertension, renal or heart failure, autoimmune disease or obesity, should be observed in hospital. Treatment If you have non-severe dengue and are being treated at home, there is no speci¿c treatment. IV Àuids are not necessary for a person who has no warning signs. Taking IV Àuids in non-severe dengue can lead to complications from over-hydration. Recovery Phase (Days 5-10) After 24-48 hours of the critical phase, you move into recovery. You might develop a generalized rash and intense itching, especially on hands and feet. It’s normal to see a mild decrease in heart rate at this stage. White blood cell levels increase and gradually the platelet levels increase, although this usually takes longer. If you were given excessive intravenous Àuids, you are at risk of respiratory distress and Àuid overload. IV Àuids are only needed when there is evidence of signi¿cant plasma leakage (2). If you have no fever, no warning signs, and your blood levels have stabilized, you are in the recovery phase of dengue. This information (unless otherwise stated) has been sourced from the CDC and the WHO. It should not be taken as medical advice. If you are concerned about any medical symptoms or health problems, you should seek the advice of a quali¿ed medical doctor. Sources 1. IV Fluids for Dengue Linked to Progression to Severe Disease.

If You Have a Problem with.....

“Power Brokers” So let us have a look at prepaid meters. There are several brands that PLN uses, they are Actaris, Landis GYR, Star, Hexing, Conlog, Glomet and Itron. The design varies between them but generally they are similar.

PLN have also introduced prepaid “pulsa” meters, a move which has provided PLN with all sorts of benefits. No longer does some poor little PLN man have to come around to your house and brave the wrath of that ever so friendly, “wouldn’t hurt a fly” pit bull terrier to read your meter. No longer will you get approximated bills because the meter reader couldn’t get in. No more crowds of people taking their tents and sleeping bags to camp for 3 days at the PLN office waiting to pay their bills (it used to be crazier than mealtime in a refuge for homeless crocodiles).

Near the top is an digital display which displays such things as the number of kWh (kilowatt hours) of power that has flowed through the meter and a 4 digit OBIS (Object Identification System) code which is used by PLN technicians. Below the display are three LED lights (we’ll come to them in a minute). In the central section is a numerical keypad which is used to add “pulsa” to the meter. There may be a circular area that contains an infra red remote connector. There is also a barcode sticker that contains the meter’s 11 digit identification number. At the bottom is a blue contact breaker, this is the PLN master switch.

Not any more - getting a new PLN connection or upgrading one to a higher tariff is a lot simpler these days. Gone are the cloak and dagger days of “can you increase my power, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more”. Price schedules are available at PLN offices listing how much it costs to upgrade your power. Upgrading your power If you wish to upgrade simply go to the PLN office closest to your house, you will need a copy of the KTP for the property owner (the name on the bill), a map of the location of the building and the last electricity bill. You can also request a new connection by telephoning the PLN call centre PLN 123. The costs of increasing your electrical supply can be found at: www.mrfixitbali.com/ electrical/electricity-supply/increasing-yourpower-supply.html The Cost of Electricity Last week we stated that the price we are charged for electricity changes each month according to the price of oil, for June 2016 this is Rp1,364.86 per kWh (for an explanation of this see last fortnight’s article here: www. mrfixitbali.com/electrical/electricity-supply/ electricity-cost-Indonesia.html). For prepaid meters the price is the same as for billed meters however there is one important difference. We said last week that if you have a post paid meter you have to pay a minimum charge (see article here www.mrfixitbali.com/ electrical/electricity-supply/electricity-costIndonesia.html) but if you have a prepaid meter there is no minimal charge - you only pay for what you use. If the house is empty you don’t have to pay anything, and your supply will not be disconnected. With all electricity supplies we are charged an additional 5% on the bill to pay for street lighting. This means that when you buy Rp100,000 of electricity the first thing that happens is the additional 5% is removed. So our calculation is as follows: Rp100,000 less the 5% tax which means we are left with Rp95,238 (no not Rp95,000 - remember Rp100,000 is 100% plus 5%) to pay for the power. Rp95,238 divided by Rp1,364.86 gives us 69.78 kWh of electricity. Advantages of prepaid meters • You only pay for what you use, there is no minimum charge. • You can pay through many different sales points. No more long queues at PLN offices • There is no meter reader wanting to get into your property to read the meter. • You won’t get estimated bills because PLN couldn’t get in to read the meter. • The power supply will not be disconnected when a bill is not paid - there is no bill so you can go away for 3 months safe in the knowledge that the power will still be connected when you come back. • You can preload as much power as you like. • If you are leasing the house out there are no difficulties or arguments about the electricity, if your tenant doesn’t pay they don’t have power and your supply cannot be cut off. Disadvantages • You have to pay “up front” buying the power before you use it. • You have to keep an eye on the meter to make sure it doesn’t run out. You do get warnings and we will look at that shortly. • It is harder to keep track of the electricity cost per month. As we can see the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages both for PLN and for the consumer.

The second LED light indicates if the meter has been tampered with. The third LED light is marked “1000 imp/ kWh” and shows a flashing red light. This light is a replacement for the revolving wheel on electricity meters of old. “imp” is short for impressions (flashes) and every time the light flashes it means a watt of electricity has passed through the meter, a thousand flashes and a kilowatt has passed. Just as the turning wheel on the old meters speeds up on old meters, the rate of flashing increases as the amount of power being consumed increases.

If you have plenty of power remaining this will show a continuous green light. As the amount of power left diminishes the light may change to yellow to warn you that there is not a lot of power left. When the power is almost finished the light will turn to red. When the amount of power remaining becomes critical the red light will start to flash and a buzzer or beeper will start to sound. If you live with an empty house next door, as I do, you will know this warning sound well for it drives an irrepressible impulse to get up in the middle of the night, take hold of a suitable implement (such as a sledge hammer) and relieve your frustrations by cathartically modifying the condition of the afforementioned device reducing it to mere fragments of its former glory.

Getting connected or upgrading your power used to be a difficult and expensive process and, if you wanted power sometime within this millenium, it may have cost you into the tens of millions of Rupiahs.

How do we know how much power we have left? As we said there are three small lights on the meter just below the display. The first LED is marked “Credit Status” and tells you how much power you have remaining.

More importantly for PLN, prepaid meters mean no more debts from people who haven’t paid their bills. No wonder they are so keen to get as many people as possible onto the new meters as soon as possible.

This flashing light can be used by smart equipment to monitor and record your power usage for management purposes. However, since such smart equipment is as rare as meaningful information in an important referendum, this is useless information that merely provides an uninteresting diversion to our discourse or perhaps some useful material for your local quizmaster. How to add power to a prepaid meter You can buy electricity refill vouchers in denominations of Rp20,000; Rp50,000; Rp100,000; Rp250,000; Rp500,000; and Rp1,000,000. These are available from payment counters in partnering banks BRI, BNI, BCA, Mandiri, NISP, Danamon, Bukopin, BPRKS and other online outlets. You can also buy them through ATMs, SMS and internet banking. You will be asked for the 11 digit identification number of the meter which is on barcode label on the front of the meter, the number will be something like 14 2024 7690 0. The voucher will give you a 20 digit number. Enter this number using the keypad on the front of the meter, the number you enter will be displayed on the LCD screen. If you make a mistake you can press the backspace key to delete digits. Once you have entered and checked the token number press the enter key to activate the electricity. If the correct token number has been entered the lcd screen should display “benar” (correct or accept) and the power is added. If you entered an incorrect number the screen will display “gagal” (fail or reject) and you will have to start again.

Do’s and Don’ts • Do not break any of the seals that PLN use to seal their meters. • Make sure your meter is in a dry location away from the weather. • Do not let your meter get wet. • Do not use sharp objects or wet cloth to clean your meter.

COMMENT: by Adrian Batten

Is BREXIT the Tipping Point?

The Lesson: Globalization works, but not if it continues to destroy the middle and working classes of the developed world in the process. The Rich must share the gains and bear their share of the costs… or face the music. The decision when it came was a shock. Surprisingly to people all over the world, not just to the British and Europeans directly affected. Reactions, depending upon where you stood, ranged from anger to jubilation, sadness to fear, incomprehension to indifference. Whatever the reaction the prevailing feeling was one of ill-defined unease. A sense that the world had changed and not for the better. Something far beyond the affairs of a tiny island set off a small littoral at the extreme Western end of Eurasian landmass was in the offing. We are entering uncharted waters. Why? Why on earth would Britain’s exit from the European Union tap into such feelings of global angst? It seems Britons themselves, whether they wanted Brexit or not, never actually believed it would happen. Nor would it, if anger with politicians had not impelled them to send a message in the only way they felt they could be heard. Britain’s EU partners tended to be angry or impatient, worried that their plans for the European project would be derailed. Meantime their people were more conflicted, recognizing that Britain provided some balance for them against an unresponsive Brussels bureaucracy, of whom many had doubts. Putin’s Russia was of course over the moon to see an EU own-goal and the major proponent for EU sanctions against them removed from the game. Americans, experiencing a somewhat similar populist revolt of their own, were concerned what this might mean for a global economy at the tail end of their economic hegemony. The feeling in an up-and-coming Asia was not so much one of concern as bemusement as to why Britain would act against its own economic interest in such a curious way? The answer I fear is that our unease is well-founded. We live in a time of enormous change whose effects are now coming home to roost. Without wise and principled leadership, so conspicuously absent to date, we are entering turbulent times. The primary cause is globalization. We’ve been talking about it since the 1970’s. It’s nothing new. We knew it could confer enormous benefits but that the accompanying changes would be disruptive and need skillful handling. And it has done exactly that. Globalization has produced the greatest expansion in wealth worldwide in history and the biggest beneficiaries have been the poor in developing countries. Of course, the rich in poor countries benefit most of all but nevertheless wealth filters down. The BRICS, and most particularly China, have benefited the most. There is one other, very small, group of people that have benefited extraordinarily. They are the world’s very rich, the 1 percent in developed countries who already own most of the world’s wealth. Consider: in the 20-year period 1988-2008 wealth in the world increased as follows: For BRIC countries incomes increased by 76% For the Super Rich, the 1 percent, it increased by 70%

For the ordinarily rich in developed countries, up by 26% For the Upper Middle Class in developed nations, up by 16% For the ‘Wretched of the Earth’ it went up by 12% For Lower Middle Class in developed nations, up by 5% For Working Class in developed nations up by 3% For Working Poor in developed nations up by 1% Given increasing costs and fall in purchasing power since 1988 even the well-off are actually no richer. As for the middle classes and the poor, their incomes have fallen significantly and in the poorest cases drastically. In the developed world housing is now a massive and destabilising problem. Properly managed this re-distribution of wealth between the “rich” developed countries and the developing world in a fair and sustainable way is a welcome if not salutary change. In which case globalization is clearly a good thing, leading to a leveling-up not a leveling-down. The operative phrase being well-managed. Clearly, based on human nature and what we are now seeing with BREXIT and the advent of Trump in the US, things are not being wellmanaged. Nor is it either fair or sustainable.

step down for some months and may yet redeem himself by assisting in a coalition of MPs to preserve the EU connection. Scottish MPs are a significant bloc in Westminster and can prevent an accelerated exit until that is, they themselves exit the UK. In fact BREXIT just might be the saving of the EU if it provokes a radical re-evaluation of the EU itself and something more responsive to the needs of its member states and more respective of their peoples emerges. British columnist Geoffrey Wheatcroft summed it up thus: “the EU is dysfunctional, corrupt, and afflicted by a kind of corporate folie de grandeur. Part of the tragedy of our predicament is that the wrong people have been making a critique of “Europe”. There were always honourable radical or liberal reasons for opposing European integration.” In other words, it didn’t have to be this way. With or without Britain the EU badly needs work, or it is doomed anyway. Whatever the case, BREXIT is nothing but the latest symptom of a growing planetary malaise. Its real cause is the gross disparity in wealth and the growing number of people who feel they do not count. Globalization is both the solution and the problem. God knows what they’ve been smoking up there on Davos all these years but self-interest ought to inform even the most selfish and ignorant of billionaires that their way of doing things over the last 20 years is not going to end well. As for our leaders, our elected representatives, they need to stop pandering to these people in exchange for their gold. Same goes for the economists, academics and tenured professors who trade integrity for illusory influence. Same goes for lawyers validating torture. History will not judge an age filled with such people well.

Street mural of Donald Trump and the former London mayor Boris Johnson, a “Brexit” supporter, last month in Bristol, England.

The last time our financial systems failed and the needs of a struggling European middle/working class were ignored we got fascism and Hitler. It should be remembered that Hitler secured power winning no less than 4 referendums. We can therefore take it as a lesson from history that referendums are not to be undertaken lightly and when the chips are down this demographic is not a progressive one; they look for scapegoats and a leader. That is the nature of right wing popularism, it transcends and that is why we now have leaders like Berlusconi, Putin and Trump coming to the fore. It is why immigration becomes an issue, when it is irrelevant, why national nostalgia becomes a fetish and patriotism a crime. God knows we don’t want and don’t need to go there. Young people under 30 don’t want it, having voted against it in the US and in Britain, where they voted for the EU. As for older people, many of whom have been through it before, they should know enough to put a stop to such nonsense. There is a chance that the UK will still remain within or closely linked to the EU. While a second referendum is not impossible, it is unlikely. Prime Minister Cameron, who will no doubt go down in history as one of Britain’s most inept PM’s (that’s what you get with a PR man as PM) will not

In the multi-polar world in which we now live, such disarray on the part of Western democracies is dangerous; we know where it leads. Wars abroad and repression at home. A Trump administration will not be Nazi Germany, more like Caligula’s Rome with Caesarism waiting in the wings. In any event, he won’t get in. Hillary Clinton will, and that means politics as usual. So who’s going to keep her honest? A lot depends on it. We have to hope that Bernie Sanders exacts a high price for lending his support. The stakes are high for us all. As for Britain and the EU, our best hope must be that the UK remains united long enough, refusing to leave or stay until such time the EU convulses sufficiently to reform itself and reverts to a vision nearer to de Gaulle’s ‘Europe des patries’. In the meantime what of us here in Bali? Easy for us to pontificate. I discovered just before Referendum Day that I could have voted to remain by e.mail but somehow didn’t get around to it. Am I any better than the dupes who voted to leave because they wanted to protest (what?) and didn’t believe the exit vote would win? If, as that crusty old gentleman Krishnamurti repeated ad nauseam, change begins with us, we might do well to reflect on that and hope that one way or the other it makes a difference in our lifetime. If not, I guess we do it anyway.

BA Feature Article It’s Hard to Source real Extra Virgin Olive Oil In Bali it just got harder… The Olive has been with us for the past 8,000 years. Its oil has been a treasured culinary companion around the Mediterranean basin for at least half that time and in the past 40 years the appeal has gone global. So much so that there is now a shortage and prices are rising fast. So is the associated fraud. ParacelsusAsia takes a look at what it all means for us here in Bali. For me there is no better aroma than that moment when tomatoes hit a pan of olive oil. It doesn’t just activate the taste buds, it lifts my spirits and the world instantly becomes a more benign and simpler place. Alas, apart from the pasta al pomodoro that follows, there is not much else simple about olive oil these days, especially now that we all, including the Chinese and Indians, have developed the taste for it. In our global village the popularity of olive oil can hardly come as a surprise. It’s just too delicious and it’s good for us. We all know by now I hope that the Mediterranean diet is the best in the world? As a major component of that diet due to its composition of phytonutrients and mono-unsaturated fats, medical research shows that olive oil reduces the risk factor in many of the world’s chronic diseases. These include: cancer, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol and osteoporosis. For all these reasons, and now we know most other plantbased oils made commercially available are bad for us, the world’s appetite for olive oil is both a problem and an opportunity. Just as well then, after two disastrous seasons, things are looking up. The olive crop of 2011/12 produced the largest amount of olive oil ever, 3,408,000 tons of it. Since then production fell as a result of heat, drought and a disease called Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), affected the world’s largest growers, Spain and Italy. As a result prices spiked. Happily this year’s crop is now expected to hit 3.2m tons, a ¿gure last achieved in 2010. Now demand for olive oil has gone global, the question is:can we produce enough of it without turning it into a some over-processed denatured facsimile of the real thing, or a luxury comestible for well-off foodies? Other than the greed of global food manufacturers and the complicity-cum- incompetence of our rulers, there is no good reason why, with good husbandry and reasonable oversight, we should not all share in the fruit of the olive tree with its abundant gifts, just as nature provided. Fortunately for us, the olive tree is hardy and long-lived. Olive trees can bear fruit for 1,000 years. They don’t require a lot of water or soil. To bear fruit it needs sunshine and a seasonal cold spell. It is not, as we’ve seen in Puglia recently, immune to disease, but it is generally resistant. While the Mediterranean has been its historic home there are many areas in the world where olives can be grown successfully. Currently these nonMediterranean but Mediterranean climates are estimated to account to about 2% of world production, but acceptance and demand is growing fast. Expect olive groves to proliferate in many more parts of the world, just as they have in California, Australia, South Africa and South America. Mediterranean countries currently produce over 97% of the world’s olive oil, with the European Union producing 77% of that, the balance coming from Levant and Magreb countries. Biggest producers are Spain (45.5%), Italy (16.8), Greece (10.8), Syria (5.4), Morocco (5.2), Turkey (4.9), Tunisia (4.9), Portugal (2), Algeria (1), France (1). You might be surprised to discover some of the countries producing prizewinning EVOO these days. At the annual New York International Olive Oil Competition, in addition to the

countries mentioned above other winners included: USA, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Chile, Turkey, Uruguay, Croatia, Jordan, Israel, Egypt and Japan. Consumption of olive oil per capita traditionally follows production, but not necessarily in order of volume. Greeks consume more olive oil per head than anyone else in the world, followed by the Italians and Spaniards. But when it comes to national importation the picture is changing fast. US imports are now the largest in the world, followed by the EU, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Japan and China. While the worlds growing appetite for high quality olive oil can be satis¿ed - there’s a snag. It’s not for nothing that olive oil has been called liquid gold. A litre of the ¿nest olive oil of impeccable provenance can set you back several thousands of dollars. Since biblical times the temptation to cheat has been irresistible. Given today’s explosive growth the problem is compounded. Simply put, the only olive oil that has the taste and health properties we want is classed as cold ¿rst pressed EVOO made from olives of known provenance with the date of harvest provided. This means it is solely the liquid obtained from the ¿rst pressing of olives without the use of heat or chemical solvents or the addition of any other non-olive oils. An ordinary 1 litre bottle of blended EVOO in a supermarket, equivalent to a decent table wine say, costs you anything between US$9.50 to $16.00. Anything below that price is unlikely to be kosher. Re¿ned Olive Oil denotes further pressings and extraction with the use of heat and chemical solvents. The result is a colourless, tasteless, odourless oil with no health or other merit. It’s not worth buying, which is why the makers blend it with Extra Virgin. Don’t be misled by the terms Light or Classic. It’s simply marketing verbiage and means nothing. There are two other liquids extracted from the olive. These are termed Lampada and Pomace. This is all the dross left behind after pressings and extraction, it is not ¿t for any use other than industrial. Lampada as the What’s left after Àrst pressing. Pressed again with name implies is what added heat & chemical solvents it’s called ReÀned traditionally was Olive Oil. What’s left after that is used as compost or re-processed a third time & sold to you blended with used as lighting fuel for lamps before any other oil as Olive Pomace. electricity. Pomace is in fact a cake of the remains of all this dross, which can be re-hydogenated, re-processed and re-blended with re¿ned olive and often other non-olive oils, packaged and re-branded to be sold at a pretty price for human consumption as Olive Pomace. Buying a decent EVOO is complicated. Adulteration of olive oil is widespread, including involvement by organised crime. In Italy the Agro-Ma¿a is responsible for Euro10m theft of agricultural produce, racketeering and counterfeiting of cheeses, wine, and olive oil. The Italian authorities, the EU and various other national and international bodies from the major olive-producing countries do their best to regulate the market and protect the consumer. But it’s a game of catch-up. Recently many of the big-name distributors have been found peddling fraudulent oil as EVOO. These include Bertolli, Sasso, Colavita, Cirio and Filipo Berio. Recent research in the US and Australia showed anything between 60-80% of all EVOO imported from Europe is not Extra Virgin. The ¿gures may be exaggerated and a case of special pleading since the recent UC Davis research was funded by the 3 largest Californian olive growers, who also part-funded the initial setting up of the department concerned at UC Davis. Authorities have tried to combat olive oil fraud for aeons. In 1980 archaeologists dug up 4,000 year-old Syrian tablets promulgating laws against counterfeit oil. Then as now the problem mostly involves the blending of all kinds low grade

olive oil (like pomace, not to mention other oils, such as canola, rapeseed, palm oil, avocado, oil, hazel nut oil, etc.) processed and de-odorised with the aid of heat and toxic chemicals and passed off as EVOO. The scale and value involved are colossal and continue today. That said, laws in both producing and consuming countries are beginning to kick-in to protect both legitimate manufacturers and the end-user in well-established markets. In the rest of the world…. Caveat emptor! Theoretically effective regulation should be easy, given that the de¿nition of EVOO is well de¿ned and compliance required to be stated on the label. Given the explosive growth of EVOO consumption the grossest kinds of fraud (which in 1980 killed over 1000 Spaniards and sickened 24,000 more) are now hopefully a thing of the past. Nowadays fraud more usually involves the blending of lower quality olive oils and passing it off as EVOO. At a minimum, the label should show the date of harvest, a best consumed by date, where the olives were grown, that it is cold ¿rst-pressed by mechanical means, the name of the packer and distributor, and if it is a blended EVOO from which country(s)the oil originated. It should also carry the imprimatur of a reputable regulating/verifying body. So where does that leave us in Bali? We have a limited selection and concentrating on EVOO, on the basis that anything less is not worth considering (even for cooking) and being not much cheaper and of far inferior quality, most EVOOs on offer here are from the major European distributors. Invariably these are Italian or Spanish-owned, such as Bertolli, Filipo Berio and Cirio. There are also some Greek oils available. A litre bottle of any of these will cost between US$9.50 on $16.00. There are some Australian EVOOs available (Cobram Estate). I have not as yet seen any Californian EVOOs on sale. EVOO from the US and Australia may very well be the best buy you can make. Production is well regulated and the oil can be just as good if not better. The thing about them though is, you will inevitably be paying a considerable premium as they cannot compete with the EU economies of scale. To compound the problem of provenance, choosing an acceptable EVOO just got a lot harder. Until the 2015/16 the major olive oil distributors supplied Indonesia with bottles and larger volume cans, which supplied some labeling information. Now they package for Indonesia with only the information required by BEPOM, Indonesia’s regulating food import authority. Apart from an advisory BBD (best-use by date: worthless if you don’t know when the olives were harvested), these products contain no information as to provenance, other than where the goods were packaged and the distributors name. In view of what we know about this industry and their unwillingness to offer information on the label, as required in Europe or North America, we are being asked to trust them. In the circumstances that is rather too much to ask. Here’s a round-up of what’s available here. EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILS (Sanur - Feb, 2016) Berio: 1 Ltr. Rp.173K ($12.70), BBD, source unstated.

Local News Indonesia Will Re-vaccinate ‘Millions’ of Children after Fake Vaccines Discovered The Indonesian government will re-inoculate children aged 10 and under after it uncovered fake vaccine manufacturing and distribution rackets. It is not clear how many children will receive their jabs again, but the number could reach millions. Local media reports that Indonesian police have arrested 15 suspects in four provinces on Java in the past few days and seized hundreds of bogus vaccines, including substances being passed off as vaccines for polio and hepatitis B. “Based on the culprits’ confessions, the fake vaccines have been distributed across Indonesia since 2003,” Agung Setya of the Indonesian police told local media. Two of the suspects reportedly said they distributed fake vaccines to hospitals and community health centers. Health Minister Nila Moeloek told lawmakers on Monday (20/6) that the fake vaccines likely contained a mix of intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Although the vaccines have not killed anyone so far, Nila said, the children wouldn’t have immunity against the diseases from which they were supposed to have been protected. “That is why the Health Ministry has to give immunization

again to the children affected by the fake vaccines,” she stated to media, adding the shots would be given free of charge. Indonesia’s vaccine scandal comes months after a similar public-health outcry hit China. Improperly stored vaccines were distributed in 24 provinces since 2010, leading to arrests and protests. Rita Agustina and her husband Hidayat Taufiqurahman have posted happy photographs of themselves, posing with new cars and showcasing their three-storey mansion in Bekasi, in the outskirts of Jakarta. Medical consultant Wimpie Pangkahila wrote: “Punish them heavily. Just like terrorists”. Executive director of Indonesia Aids Coalition (IAC) and long-time campaigner for access to medicines in Indonesia, Aditya Wardhana said the case reflects the government’s need to review its policy in relation to vaccines. “If these products were affordable (and accessible) then this would close the opportunity for syndicates to produce a fake one,” he told AAP.

Zika Virus hits Bali - Pregnant Travelers are Warned to Avoid Indonesian Bali Visitors are being warned against traveling to Indonesia including Bali after the mosquito-borne Zika virus has been found there.

‘There is new evidence that links Zika infection in pregnant women to causing birth defects, including microcephaly in babies.

Indonesia is experiencing sporadic transmission of the virus, according to Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The country is experiencing sporadic transmission of the virus not a full blown outbreak ‘In addition, latest evidence suggests that in rare circumstances, the virus can be spread through sexual transmission,’ the advice read.

‘Given the possibility that Zika virus can cause severe malformations in unborn babies, and taking a very cautious approach, pregnant women should discuss any travel plans with their travel doctor and consider postponing travel to Indonesia,’ the advice reads. The Zika virus is in Indonesia so Australians are being warned not to travel there. The advice does note that most people who become infected with the virus do not show any symptoms. ‘Only one in five people who get it will feel sick, usually for a few days. ‘In some cases, Zika infection can cause fever, rash, severe headache, joint pain, and muscle or bone pain. ‘Illness from Zika is usually not severe and does not require hospitalization.’ The virus might cause severe malformations in unborn babies and immune system disorders. ‘There are also concerns that in rare instances Zika infection can lead to Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a serious immune system disorder. British Tourist Killed after Jumping from Hotel 5th Floor British citizen, Rebecca Rachel Naa Adjorkor (26) was found dead after jumping from the balcony of room 501 on the fifth floor of her hotel in Kuta. According to information from the security personnel at the hotel, a scream was heard at about 2am on Monday (13/6). After investigating the source of the scream he found the woman’s body on the ground. “The victim fell from a height of about 15 meters,” according to a police officer from the Kuta Police Department. Police are still investigating the death of this British national. However, from the crime scene and witness testimony, police believe the victim died as a result of suicide. (June 24th 2016)

There is no specific treatment to the virus and tests for it in developing countries are not easily available. The virus is currently active in 49 countries according to the Australian Government’s Department of Health. Of these countries 15 have a sporadic or limited outbreak including Indonesia. Travel Doctors’ Medical Director Perth and Canberra, Jennifer Sisson said sporadic transmission means there are cases from time to time. But woman traveling to those countries should protect themselves from mosquito bites. The virus can stay in the body for a long time according to Tropical health expert, Peter Leggat from James Cook University in Townsville. As the virus is now thought to be sexually transmittable men who contract it are advised to practice safe-sex for six months after they become infected. (June 20th 2016) Health Ministry Denies Zika Virus Outbreak in Bali The Indonesian Health Ministry has denied the information about the spread of Zika virus in Bali following the appeal of Australia through website http: //smartraveller.gov.au/ as of June 17, 2016 informing that Zika virus is currently active in Indonesia, especially Bali. An official at the Ministry Oscar Primadi said Indonesia is not endemic. “Indonesia is not an infected area,” Oscar said on Saturday (18/6). Oscar added that to date there is only one confirmed Zika case in Indonesia in 2015. According to Primadi, from the laboratory report done by Biomedical Research and Development of the Health Ministry, there is currently no citizen declared to be affected by Zika virus.

Tech Agency Slams Rumors Tidal Wave Caused Earthquake in Bali An official from the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, or BPPT, has been forced to deny rumors that a tidal wave spotted in Java and Bali caused a 6.2 Richter scale earthquake. While earthquakes can cause tidal waves, earthquakes are not caused by waves, only by activity in the earth’s tectonic plates. The earthquake, according to the national weather agency, or BMKG, did occur at sea on June 9-286 kilometers northwest of West Sumbawa, 10 kilometers deep - and was felt in Denpasar, Kuta and Mataram, as stated on their official website. However, the pemburuombak.com website has linked the earthquake with the high waves, calling on Bali to prepare for increased tidal activity and more expected earthquakes caused by the waves - due to the alignment of the sun, moon and earth - until September. “The article is a hoax. Tidal waves at sea do not cause earthquakes,” Widjo Kongko from BPPT said in Jakarta, Saturday (18/06). Widjo said that increasing sea levels are due to the combination of a cyclone, swell and high tides. (June 18th 2016) Frenchman Loses Indonesia Execution Appeal A French drug convict lost an appeal against his death sentence on Monday (20/6), but his lawyers vowed to fight on and prevent another foreigner from facing the firing squad in Indonesia after a series of executions that generated an international uproar. Serge Atlaoui, 51, was due to be executed alongside seven other foreign drug offenders two months ago but won a temporary reprieve after Paris stepped up pressure, with authorities agreeing to let an outstanding appeal run its course. The execution in April of two Australians, a Brazilian and four Nigerians sparked global anger. But President Joko Widodo insists convicted traffickers must be harshly punished, saying Indonesia is facing a crisis due to rising drug use. Indonesia pushed ahead with the April executions despite global condemnation led by UN chief Ban Ki-moon. On Monday the State Administrative Court in Jakarta dismissed Atlaoui’s latest appeal, in which his lawyers argued that the president rejected the convict’s plea for clemency without proper consideration. The court upheld its previous decision from April that it did not have the jurisdiction to hear the challenge to the clemency plea, which is typically a death row convict’s final chance to avoid execution. The failure of the Frenchman’s latest legal bid came after the Supreme Court in April rejected another appeal – a request by Atlaoui’s legal team for a judicial review of his death sentence. (June 22nd 2016) Doctors Refuse to Perform Chemical Castration on Sex Offenders Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) has said that physicians should not be involved in performing chemical castration-the additional punishment the government is seeking for child sex offenders-arguing that the procedure violates medical ethics. A new bill-soon be deliberated at the House of Representatives-to revise the 2002 Child Protection Law allows injecting male sex offenders with synthetic female hormones to suppress their sex drives. Performing this procedure violates a 2016 edict by the Medical Ethics and Honors Council, which is based on the code of medical ethics as well as the Hippocratic Oath, IDI said. “Don’t involve doctors as executors of the additional punishment,” IDI chairman Ilham Oetama Marsis said in a statement released on Thursday (09/06). The government said doctors performing chemical castration will not violate medical ethics as the procedure is performed by order of the court, and is defending the additional punishment. According to the government, chemical castration would deter would-be sex offenders and thus reduce the prevalence of sexual crimes. The new bill also proposes life imprisonment or the death penalty for pedophiles, serial rapists and those convicted of gang rape. “Based on scientific evidence, chemical castration does not suppress perpetrators’ desire for sexual violence,” Ilham said. “We propose that the government find other forms of additional punishment.” (June 13th 2016)

Two Bulgarian Men Arrested for Busting ATM Machine Two Bulgarian tourists Toma Haralampiev Kelevski (33) and Kiril (32) have been arrested after they were caught tampering with an ATM machine located at Coco Supermarket, Batubulan, early Saturday (25/6) morning. The attempt to tamper with the ATM machine was first detected by technicians supervising BNI ATM operations who were able to remotely assess a problem with the CCTV monitor. When a technical response team arrived at the ATM the modem had been removed. Shortly after, 3 foreigners were observed entering the ATM. When they left the booth, the missing modem had been replaced. Police were then called and arrested two men while a third person managed to escape. Police in Sukawati said the two Bulgarians were staying at Villa Mafanalia on Jalan Ketut Lestari Gang II in Sanur. Police have also found an assortment of assault knives at the residence. (June 27th 2016) Animals Indonesia Deplores Light Sentence for Tiger Skin Sellers Animals Indonesia, a social community institution for animal conservation, has deplored the fact that the district court of Palembang meted out a light sentence to a man involved in tiger skin trade recently. In a press release received by Antara on Friday (17/6), Suwarno, the chief of the institution, said the trader, Suharno alias Reno, was only sentenced to six months in jail while he could have been given a maximum sentence of five years and fined Rp100 million, based on Law Number 5 of 1990 on Ecosystem and Conservation of Living Natural Resources. “This is very disappointing because the defendant was clearly proven as indulging in trading skin and bones of Sumatran tiger, a species falling under protected animal category,” he said. “The Sumatran tiger is one of the tiger species left in Indonesia after Balinese and Javanese tiger species were declared extinct. The existence of Sumatran tiger was under threat because its habitat had shrunk and it was being hunted for trading,” he explained. An intact skin of a tiger is sold between Rp50 million and Rp100 million, depending on its size and condition, he added. (June 18th 2016) Credit Card Cash Swipe Increases Threat of Fraud, Police Warn After Arrests The National Police’s special crimes investigation has arrested three suspects for credit card forgery by skimming, in which the credit card data is copied to perform other transactions. The forged cards have been used to purchase goods and to withdraw cash through a “cash swipe” service provided by some merchants, which has brought the ring to the attention of police and financial institutions. Cash swipe is a practice used to retrieve cash funds by using credit cards in several merchants, as if the user had purchased items. “Credit cards are unsecured loans. The banks issue credit cards based on the performance of candidates’ income. However, the public has altered the use from goods purchase to cash swipes,” Brig. Gen. Agung Setya, director of National Police’s special crimes unit in Jakarta, said on Friday (10/06). Bank Indonesia, the country’s central bank, banned cash swiping in 2012, Agung said. “Cash swipes do not have any criminal sanctions. There are only administrative penalty where the EDC [Electronic Data Capture] machines in the merchant is pulled by the bank,” said Agung. (June 11th 2016)

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

BREXIT – SHOCK RESULT SHAKES MARKETS My last article four weeks ago asked the question ‘Could a Brexit affect your savings?’ Well, the chances are it already has if you have any kind of ¿nancial investment, pension scheme or even just a bank account! At the time of writing my last article the polls were pretty con¿dent that Britain would decide to remain in the European Union in the June 24 referendum. By the time the article appeared the mood had shifted towards a possible Brexit and markets started to react negatively although did not appear convinced that such a drastic move could really happen. Then there was the tragic assassination of the Labour MP Jo Cox that changed the mood again. Once more markets became con¿dent that the the vote would support the ‘remain’ campaign. So much so that just prior to the vote global stock markets rallied strongly and the pound sterling rose sharply. In my article I stated that we were not likely to see any major market or currency moves after the referendum as markets will have already taken into account the expected result. But if the result went contrary to expectations the picture would be entirely different. And this is just what happened! This is what I actually wrote four weeks ago:

working classes, many of whom voted to exit. But many will be jubilant that Britain will no longer be controlled from Brussels and can take charge over issues such as immigration, one of the main causes of dissatisfaction with the EU which is still unable to formulate a cohesive policy to tackle the challenge of hundreds of migrants arriving daily on its shores.

Could there be any impact on Bali? If the British and European currencies continue to fall there could well be fewer tourists from that part of the world but so long as arrivals remain strong from elsewhere the impact should not be great. If there is a worst case scenario of a global recession then that would be a problem. Expats living in Bali will of course see their savings and pensions affected by falling markets but history has shown that market-shaking events are often quickly forgotten. Any Brits still expecting to draw ‘de¿ned bene¿ts’ pensions from previous employers should take heed of warnings that already-stressed pension funds may join the hundreds of failed schemes if their values are driven lower by market losses or failure of the company, as happened recently with the high street chain, British Home Stores. There are still options to exit those schemes while they remain solvent.

‘If the result is surprisingly different from predictions however there could be a sharp currency movement on the announcement. If the vote contradicts the polls the GBP is likely to rise if the ‘in’ vote succeeds and fall if the ‘out’ vote succeeds. The Euro is likely to suffer if Britain leaves even though the UK is not actually in the Euro currency zone. This is because it will hit trade and could start a contagion among other countries disillusioned with the European Union. If there is an exit, the Rupiah will probably suffer as markets around the world become defensive and take risk off the table.’ Was this assessment of the likely outcome correct? Yes, except that the polls had to admit it was going to be too close to call. But the markets thought otherwise and were convinced (as probably most of us were) that the ‘don’t knows’ would play safe and vote to remain in the EU and the addition of their votes would make it certain. The con¿dence was evidenced by the pound rising to $1.50, its highest point in the year, and global markets also rose as they brushed aside earlier gloom. That all changed abruptly on June 24 as early results of the polling indicated that a Brexit could become a reality. By the end of the day the pound had fallen by 8%, the Euro by a smaller margin and indeed the Rupiah fell, from 13,250 to 13,391 to the USD. Stock markets across the globe took a hit, the main Dow Jones index falling over 3%, and many markets falling much further. The Japanese Nikkei fell 9% but that was partly compensated by a sharp rise in the Yen as investors sought safe havens. Gold, which I said was useful to hold as a form of insurance, rose 4.5% in USD. Were there any winners? The US Dollar is an obvious winner, although the US does not want too strong a dollar in view of its effect on exports. Donald Trump reckoned the fall in the pound would be good for his business as the cheaper currency would attract more visitors to his resorts in Scotland! At the opening of his newest resort on the same day the referendum results came through, he said that Brexit would be good for Britain, seemingly unaware that Scotland had overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU! Of course the ‘exit’ camp were all winners, but some commentators have suggested that many of the ¿rst to suffer from any recession or job losses would be the

The Rupiah could remain under pressure in line with other emerging market currencies as investors take risk off the table and seek safe havens such as the USD, Japanese Yen and gold. Best ongoing strategy Markets don’t like uncertainties and there are plenty of those in the world. Where Brexit is concerned the uncertainties could last a couple of years, especially since there is now the issue of Scotland seeking a fresh vote on independence so they can remain in the EU and murmurings among unhappy segments of the populations of other members of the EU. And we have yet to see the impact on the markets of a turbulent US presidential election campaign later this year. But the basic principles of ¿nancial planning still apply. Make sure you have health and life protection for self and family, adequate cash reserves for contingencies and keep building wealth by regularly saving, even if the performance of investments is poor. Don’t put all or most eggs in one basket; ensure your assets are well diversi¿ed. There could be a silver lining to the Brexit. The EU leaders will have to rethink their policies and perhaps listen a bit more to the people. The net result could be a better deal for all. Otherwise they could soon be facing a ‘Frexit, Dexit, Spexit and who knows what else. Brexit – Worst case scenario for Britain Scotland will break away, Northern Ireland will join with the South to stay in Europe, Jersey will become independent, the Premier League will move to Wales because they play better football there and Trump will buy what’s left of England and turn it into a golf course and casino.

What can we take from this information, or rather lack thereof? Note: only 3 of those listed above tell you where the olives come from. History shows, and you can reasonably assume it remains true, that European distributors take advantage of lax labeling requirements to pass off the stuff they can’t sell in stricter jurisdictions, without risking prosecution. A ¿nal Parthian shot about Pomace. It’s a rotten product, grossly overpriced and misleading so it’s worrying to see whole shelves of the stuff. To pay almost as much as the real thing is a travesty. Don’t touch it. My recommendation? Buy only EVOO, take it home, open it, smell it, swirl a little in your mouth and judge for yourself. If it don’t pass muster, consign it to cooking or use it on creaking Bali doors - and try again.

I actually believe we have some acceptable EVOOs on offer. I buy the Cirio. At these prices all of the above listed are of course blended products. My fond hope is that they are at least all 100% olive oil, that is genuine EVOO from traditional olive-growing Mediterranean countries.

Jul. 20 - Wed

Other than that, if you don’t like the odds, use the Cirio as your EVOO “pourer” while trading up to the Cobram’s, as a 99% sure thing or maybe risk the more expensive smaller bottles from Colavita when, imported in its original bottle, does at least claim to be genuine EVOO made entirely from Italian olives.

MUSIC MATTERS

Ok ‘whew’ enough political ranting let’s get down to some music. Well I am happy to say the end of Bali’s rainy season is upon us, we are now moving ever closer to the warm balmy days of summer and of course festival season on the Island. Last year Bali was blessed with great events like the Ubud Village Jazz festival, the Blues festival, and the awesome events held at the GWK, and this year seems to look even bigger and better than ever. I have it on good authority that Ultra Bali will be smashing records with some massive name DJ’s and Adrenaline festival will once again and in my opinion for the better. Myself and a lot of people be taking place in GWK with an undisclosed western rock felt that the EU started as a free trade zone after WW2 had act. Fingers crossed for Metallica! out grown its original purpose and was becoming a federal super state demanding more and more resources, and Last year was incredible political power, eventually Britain would lose all sovereignty with Wolf Mother rocking and the ability to make any of her own laws, everything would the stage along with lots of top end Indonesian artists be mandated from Brussels. like Sheila for Seven and Currently the EU has its own flag its own national anthem and Kotak. Ticket prices are still its own army if we had stayed in we would have given control very reasonable and I have of everything including our military to the Euro project. Now I also been informed there don’t know about you, but I don’t really like the idea of people may even be an extra day I did not vote for and can’t remove from power having 100% added to the roster so the 2 day fest becomes a fully-fledged total control over the country, and my entire future! Not to 3 day leviathan. I am still of the belief that what we could mention staying would have resulted in scrapping the pound really do with is a 3-5 day mega festival like Glastonbury or as a currency and adopting the disastrous Euro which is Reading maybe a ticket charge of 1 million Rp. for a week causing chaos Europe wide with rampant unemployment and including camping, where we can encourage some of the bigger names in the music Industry to just once a year visit interest rate rises. our little island. I think with the right support and a large Nigel Farage (leader of UKIP) said on the 23/06/2016 enough green field site this could become a reality! “Henceforth June 23rd will be a national holiday in the UK as Ok guys well that about wraps it up for this issue, it is when we celebrate our Independence Day!” congratulations again to the British people for making their EU Facts today. The senior members of the European vote matter, and now it is time to do the same worldwide so Parliament are not elected, meaning if you don’t like what they we can all become proud of our countries again. Remember are doing then you have no say! Currently 70% of British law power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. is written by the EU. Brits are only permitted limited fishing rights Next issue I will be looking at up and coming venues in Bali in their own waters. British farms and natural landscape is and checking out undiscovered musical gems. Until then entirely under the control of the EU parliament. It is estimated keep it live and make it matter. that the UK pays $300 million every week to the Eurozone.

Greetings music pioneers, and welcome to a very political edition of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. Well it has happened, the unthinkable, the incredible, the unbelievable, and all of the other expressive words in the English language and of course depending on your point of view. Just in case you have a serious case of Bali daze, and your time runs on Bali time I will spell out what I am rabbiting on about. On Thursday 23rd the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union! Now I am well aware that this is a music column, but politics on this level makes its own kind of music, and with 54% of the British population voting to leave the EU this decision is possibly the biggest political crescendo the world has ever known, and I’ll wager the bureaucrats in Brussels will be listening to nothing else for the next two or more months. The upshot of this vote is mind blowing, as the British people fed up with over 40 years of erosion of sovereignty, draconian legislation, and being governed from faceless and largely unelected MEP’s and commissions have decided enough is enough, and have voted in a pure and democratic manner to take the country back, and go back to making their own way in the world without European collusion. Now you can probably tell I am a bit biased here and was a leave voter so could not have been happier with the result, my personal ten pence, or 100 Rupiah’s worth is that this decision represents an incredible victory for democracy, and liberty as the will of the people was consulted and the people spoke to leave the EU. The counties future and that of Europe as a whole will be inexorably changed forever,

Europe wants a federal United States of Europe, much like un-named European dictators have been angling for years! The EU ruling on migrants (economic and refugees) has been an unmitigated disaster and has further angered the European population. The reality of leaving the beast that has become The EU is going to take some guts to pull off, but when it is completed we have control of our laws, our waters, our trade, and our country. It was a great victory for the UK, and I hope other countries in the EU will follow suit and hold their own referendums on EU membership. Rule Britannia!

TRASH HERO INDONESIA

By Peripatete

BAMBOO BICYCLES GO GLOBAL If you blink, you might miss the sight of a few reworked pieces of grass whizzing by on a set of wheels. And if they happen to be painted in bright yellow, you’d be entirely forgiven for not believing that the bicycle frame that just zipped across your line of vision, is made entirely of bamboo. This is what happened in Ubud earlier this year, when a bamboo bike was spotted wheeling around town. Its proud owner? Chinese native and Bali newcomer, Su Xiaofang. In July 2015, Su (aka Suskita) set out from China on a bamboo bike that she calls Little Prince ; her travels have thus far led her to cities around Asia and Europe. Earlier this year, Suskita’s compass pointed her towards Indonesia, and a volunteer stint at the Bali Spirit Festival. She returned two months later, to explore more of Ubud and beyond. “I don’t like long distance cycling,” says Suskita, “cycling from one country to another doesn’t interest me. I pick the cities that I’m most curious about, and take a plane, bus, train or even ferry to get there. At this stage it’s not being about adventurous, but to go where people gather.” Riding on a custom-made bike sweetens her journey: “Having a bamboo bike is so cool. If it’s handmade, you have a stronger connection with your bike.” But Suskita is not alone in venturing out on a bike of this species; she is among a g r o w i n g number of intrepid cyclists around the globe who are taking to the streets and highways on a handcrafted bicycle built from bamboo. Sievituo Solo, a Nagaland native, cyclist and eco-activist, is attempting to pedal across 20 countries in 180 days - on his bamboo bike - while attempting to set a new world record for the longest distance traveled on a bamboo bicycle. Solo, who harvested and assembled the bike’s bamboo framework himself, is seeking to raise awareness about the versatility and abundance of this fast-growing plant in his home region and abroad. To prove the limitless potential of bamboo, Solo is taking his bamboo-inspired message on the road, hoping to drum up support and interest in eco-friendly travel. In early May, Zimbabwe-born Sean Conway completed the first phase of his ‘Ultra Triathlon’ along the British coast, after cycling more than 3,200 miles. All of it, on a bike built of bamboo. Conway is the ¿rst and only man to cycle, swim and run the length of Britain. After packing up his beloved bike (named Matilda), he swapped his cycling shoes for sneakers and set off on the next phase of his triathlon. To quench a growing thirst for bikes made of bamboo, DIY workshops are popping up around the world; from Ghana to Berlin, London to Alabama, bamboo bikes and build your own workshops are creating a stir in sustainable living circles.

Some are founded on the principle of creating a network of like-minded cycling enthusiasts or eco-conscious principles. Based primarily on an open-source model, where information is freely shared among everyone, these workshops strive to impact a wide spectrum of commuters and travelers. Others are set up as sustainable social enterprises that act as catalysts for community development. HERObike, a small socially-conscious business, was established in 1994 as a vehicle for ending rural poverty in the state of Alabama. With the support of the local Bamboo Bike Studio, volunteers and donated resources, the organization has trained locals in the art of bicycle-building, turned it into a viable business – all the while supporting local environmental initiatives. While some focus on uplifting locals into learning sustainable practices that lead to an increase in income and wellbeing, others set their sights on exploring the world beyond their borders. China’s ¿rst bamboo bike workshop was founded by David Wang, an American native who came to Beijing as a Fulbright scholar. An avid cyclist, Wang set up Bamboo Bicycle Beijing to encourage a more bike-friendly attitude in the city, and to lure drivers away from a dependence on cars and into a more active commute outdoors. (Despite increasing levels of pollution, in China and elsewhere, optimism remains a hallmark of cycling diehards around the world.)

While solving the global garbage problem may be complex, knowing what to do about the garbage that is currently littered on our beaches and in our communities is relatively simple: pick it up. This is the basic Trash Hero philosophy that had its foundation in Thailand and is now spreading globally, with Indonesia and Bali in particular now involved. Chapters of Trash Hero are now established in Amed, Sanur, Candidasa, Canngu and Ubud, while further afield in Indonesia there are groups in the Gilis (Lombok) and Komodo. The concept is simple, with the accent on ridding our beautiful areas of particularly the non-biodegradable materials such as plastic and styrofoam. Bearing in mind that 70 per cent of our planet is ocean, the presence of plastic represents a deadly threat to marine dwellers. For this reason, many dive organisations and ocean lovers support the Trash Hero program. Once a week members (just show up and you are a member) meet in a designated place and spend an hour or so collecting rubbish. Amed was the first group formed in Bali and this chapter recently celebrated its first birthday. This group provided the inspiration for Candidasa and Sanur. Hopefully, more areas in Bali will follow. Candidasa’s involvement started about two months ago and the plastic/styrofoam/rubber tally is already approaching one tonne after just six Sunday excursions involving sometimes 60-plus participants. Chapters keep the promotion awareness through Facebook pages and the support of local business houses, expats, local residents and tourists. They key, of course, is education for the future generation. Trash Hero Sanur meets every Sunday at 5pm on Pantai Mertesari (Sanur Beach, gathering at Sweet Magnolia around 4:30pm., In Amed, Trash Hero members meet each Monday about 4pm, with news on the meeting point circulated via Facebook. In Candidasa, the clean-ups are held each Sunday from 5pm and again, different locations are promoted on a Facebook page. Trash Hero Ubud meets every Wednesday at 5pm, location published on their Facebook page. Of course, simply picking up trash is not enough. Links need to be formed with recyclers for the plastics. There are recycling companies now working throughout Bali and Java. Basic information on the Trash Hero program worldwide can be found on

Hong Kong was the launching point for 28-year old graphic designer Chan Yanki’s cycling journey to Norway. Chan set out in early 2016, with a goal of inspiring other “narrow-minded Hong Kongers” to dare beyond their ordinary lives, and “just do it.” She intends to ride her home-made bamboo bicycle a total distance of nearly 20,000 km, crossing China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Once Chan arrives in Tromso, Norway – in time to view the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) – she will hold a record as the ¿rst woman to complete a world tour on a bamboo bike; a bike that she built herself at Bamboo Bike Beijing, the oldest bike workshop on the mainland. Constructing the bicycle was not without its challenges.

But Suskita, who with the help of friends and technicians, also built her Little Prince bamboo bicycle at the Bamboo Bike workshop in Shanghai, cherishes the experience and all it taught her. “I sweated more than a hot yoga class,” says Su, “When you cut, you need to focus like meditation, otherwise you can cut your hands. The ¿rst time I rode it, from pieces of bamboo into a real bike, I was so thrilled.” Asked if she would build another bike of bamboo, she offers a ¿rm no. But, in the same breath, she adds: “I feel pity for people who buy a completed bike because they lost the joy and pain of building a bamboo bike.”
