MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

BIG CHANGES HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEMS FACING PENSIONERS Anyone planning to retire in Bali or anywhere else for that matter would do well to see what is happening in the UK and relate it to their own situation. Whatever country you come from you are likely to be facing similar issues in the future. In this year’s budget the UK government announced some major reforms affecting private pensions, the biggest of which was the plan that from next April pensioners could cash in their private pension pots in full. They would however be fully taxed on withdrawals above a certain level and this tax rate could exceed 30%. State pensions were not affected by the move and British pensioners residing in Indonesia or a number of other countries would continue to be discriminated against by having their pensions frozen at the level that applied when they left the UK. A group of British pensioners in Bali is actively battling this issue and would welcome additional support. Over the years successive governments have been keen to encourage people to save for retirement for the simple reason that current levels of state bene¿ts are unsustainable. Once upon a time many working people could look forward to pensions for life linked to their ¿nal salaries. Such pensions were established in the days when life expectation was lower and returns on stock market investments were much higher. Such pensions are now being steadily replaced by ones that depend directly on market performance, which means that pensioners share the market risk. On retirement, lump sums still have to be converted to annuities. Annuities were attractive because they would guarantee a ¿xed pension for life, with the added possibility of a reduced pension for a surviving spouse. The downside of a typical UK annuity though is that it dies with the pensioner or spouse. Nothing is left to the person’s estate and any remaining value in the original lump sum is retained by the insurance company. So if you were single and died the day after your retirement (I have known actual cases so this is a good reason not to retire!) the retirement pot you had worked for years to build up is lost to the scheme or insurance company. But another problem has emerged in recent years, namely the poor value offered by annuities due to low bond yields which provide their security. A 65 year-old for example might have enjoyed a 10% per annum annuity ten years ago but today it would be barely 5% to 6%. This means that a lump sum of GBP100,000 would produce a ¿xed income not linked to inÀation of little over GBP5,000 a year and it would die with you! Even if you lived a long time the purchasing value would fall each year. This is no doubt one reason the government was pressured into ceasing to force retirees into buying annuities. But another motive could be the likelihood that many would cash in immediately and bring a tax bonanza to the exchequer. The concern as to how the same pensioners would survive in later years once the money was spent seems no longer an issue. Or at least it will be someone else’s problem. What are the practical implications? Where UK nationals are concerned it means that if they have any company or UK private pensions in the UK they are no longer forced to take an annuity. Actually they can already escape from those restrictions if they are living overseas by converting to an offshore QROPS but this window may close shortly. A QROPS will still restrict future withdrawals but the beauty is that the tax rate on withdrawals can be as low as 2.5% as opposed to a potential 30% or higher in the UK. Many expats however have no home-based pensions so they have to make their own arrangements overseas. One of the most common arrangements is a life company linked savings or pension plan. These usually have no restrictions and can be taken as a lump sum or an income

on maturity with no tax deducted at source (although the income would be subject to tax depending on country of residence at the time). One of the problems with these plans is that they do require a commitment to the contracted period. Breach of these conditions can result in heavy ¿nancial losses. Nevertheless they do offer a disciplined means of building up savings, particularly for those who do not have a pension fund at home. What are the alternatives? When one thinks of a pension what comes to mind is a plan that requires regular contributions during one’s working life in return for an income for life in retirement.

But any form of savings or investment that has retirement as an objective may be considered as a form of pension. Here are a couple of examples: • Portfolio Bond. These are popular products provided by every major life company and consist of an open platform which can contain any number of approved funds (subject to minimum amounts) out of a universe of thousands of funds. The portfolio can be established with a single lump sum investment or it can be built up over time. When retirment comes the portfolio can provide a regular income or be drawn upon as and when money is needed. • Property. Many people like property as an investment and if you have a rentable property in the right location it can provide you with a regular income in retirement. It does have its drawbacks of course in that it may take a lot of your time to manage and if you need to sell it you might have to wait a long time. Better than trying to do it on your own it is worth considering managed investment properties. One company in the UK for example offers purpose-built apartments from only GBP100,000 that require just a 30% deposit payable over two years. After that time a management company pays a guaranteed rental that covers the cost of a mortgage so once the mortgage is paid off you have a property that will almost certainly have increased in price and which will have cost you, if all goes according to plan, just 30% of the original price. From then on you would have a rental income for life.

So which kind of pension is best? If you are fortunate enough to have one, the best pension is probably one that is linked to your ¿nal salary and is inÀation-proofed. But such pensions are disappearing fast, except perhaps for public servants. Otherwise the best strategy is to have several strings to your bow since no-one can predict whether ¿nancial or property markets will Àourish or languish. Expats with no state pension or home-based pensions to look forward to should have at least a couple of regular savings plans, a portfolio of stocks, bonds and commodities that can be drawn down in retirement and some property investments aside from the family home that can produce a steady income. When should you start saving for retirement? The day you start working! Left it late? Might be worth dropping me a line. Left it much too late? I’ll be happy to offer sympathy, a few practical suggestions and a cup of coffee! Colin Bloodworth of PPI Indonesia has spent over 20 years in Indonesia.

. . . a p a i S ?

by Bill Dalton

Lena Dharmawan: ReÀexology Lena Dharmawan was born and brought up in a single family home in West Jakarta near Chinatown. She showed an early interest in learning English, and attended a language school before her regular school classes. Later she attended Tarumanegara University to study economics before starting a career with French-owned PT Indokomas Buana Perkasa where she worked for more than 20 years. The company gave Lena courses in French, then sent her to Europe for advanced management training. Lena opened her ¿rst reÀexology business Bugar Sehat ReÀexology in Ubud in 2007 and expanded to a second location in Nyuh Kuning in 2013. What are your hobbies? I like music, playing computer games and reading, especially John Grisham novels. I love to travel and have been to Europe, Scandinavia, USA, New Zealand, Thailand, China and many other countries in Asia. In Indonesia, my favorite place is Bali. From the time I lived in Jakarta, I’ve always dreamed have my own business in Ubud. What is reÀexology? It’s a type of acupressure that is applied mainly to the feet and hands. There are various techniques, depending on what country you are in, but it is basically the same theory everywhere. Why is treatment centered on the feet? Original theories from China and Egypt suggested pressing certain points on the feet had a calming effect on other parts of the body. Out of that discovery, reÀexology evolved into a method of healing that focuses on the nerves and involves applying pressure to certain points in the foot that correspond to organs in the body. Are the treatments painful or uncomfortable? ReÀexology can be mildly painful the ¿rst time, but it should not be unbearable. Your reÀexologist should ask if the pressure is too hard or not hard enough. It should be adjusted to the client’s comfort. Why don’t more people hear about reÀexology? ReÀexology has always been popular in Asia but only recently has it become better known in Europe and America. In the past, people who had not traveled much had not heard of it. Now because people travel more and also use the Internet much more, it’s becoming more popular. Are there some ailments which take more than one patient visit? First, since we’re not medical doctors we do not consider our clients to be patients. We do not address speci¿c illnesses or problems. We just believe that relaxing and receiving reÀexology will help anyone who experiences it. Is reflexology used together with conventional medicine to bring about a cure?

A middle aged Balinese couple once came to our shop every morning for more than a week. They told us that a doctor advised them to have reÀexology, so there are some doctors who see value in reÀexology. We are not medically trained but we try to help clients relax and when they feel good from our treatments they come back. Several times, we’ve been called to give our services to detox programs in Ubud. Are the majority of your patients Indonesian or Westerners? Since my shops are located in a tourist area, my clients are mostly Westerners, Australian, Japanese, Korean, Singaporian, Thai and Malaysian, but I also see domestic tourists from Jakarta and Surabaya. What pleases me most are the Balinese who come to my shop, though the ratio is 90-10.

How did you become interested in healing? When I was working in Jakarta, I became curious about a new reflexology shop that opened nearby. I loved it immediately and became a regular client. I also had massages from professional blind masseuses because of shoulder pain from stress and long hours. I would use reÀexology and massages to help me through the pain. When did you decide to make a living from reÀexology? ReÀexology was an easy choice for me. I really enjoyed it and I had a friend in the business who offered to help me get started. The motivation was simply that I wanted others to bene¿t from my experience. I also wanted to start a business that was not too stressful, not just about earning money but could also be enjoyable to clients and give jobs to locals.

Where did you study reÀexology? I personally have not studied reÀexology. I send all my staff to train with reÀexologists in Bali. I also use a very good reÀexologist from Jakarta to teach my staff. What types of illnesses or injuries is reflexology particularly effective in helping? Most of my clients complain of tired bodies and pain in their feet. Reflexology really helps them to relax. During treatment, people say they feel like they’re in a sort of meditative state, leaving them well rested and stress free after. Many clients who practice yoga ¿nd reÀexology bene¿cial after a workout. A friend uses it to help with her edema. There’s no speci¿c proof that reÀexology aids pregnant women, migraine headaches, emotional conditions and fertility but it’s de¿nitely not harmful and relaxing and letting go of stress is certainly helpful. Do you have any success stories? I had a client who suffered from severe nerve damage due to a bad cosmetic treatment. She has recovered now, but still sometimes experiences pain in her left foot. She regularly receives reÀexology and she told me that it helps her a lot. What do you think are important health habits to practice? Exercise is important, but the most important is to avoid stress and be happy. With numerous vegetarian/health food restaurants as well as many yoga classes, Ubud is the perfect place for people to practice healthy habits. Many accommodations here have swimming pools for stress free exercising. You can also easily buy fresh fruits and vegetables in the market very cheaply, as well as organically grown if that is your preference.

Another power packed fortnight as we start with the Full Moon Scorpio conjunct Saturn in the early morning of the 15th. The duo form a Grand Water trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Chiron Pisces to bring healing and ancestral line growth to family, and in particular parent and child relationships/programs. With Lady Venus activating all Planets of April’s Grand Cross this month; we see her conjoined Uranus on the Full Moon and square to Pluto. No doubt the tension that has been building within your relationships will pop now and bring that opportunity for deeper healing. This healing may come through death, partings or endings as we choose to move forward at the soul level. Your shadow is obvious during the Full Moon and it will highlight this opportunity and possible necessity for transformation or letting go. Mars is readying itself for its forward motion on the 20th and the Sun moves into Gemini the following day. Jupiter and Saturn perfect their trine at 19 degrees of Cancer and Scorpio respectively on the 25th. That forward moving Mars is going to activate Pluto through square and oppose Uranus once more in June. This will take place during our next Mercury retrograde in Cancer/Gemini. We are not out of the woods just yet folks, as Pluto will be at the degree of the next exact Pluto/Uranus square in December, during June and the retrograde. The theme continues and unfolds its next phase of even deeper understanding and truths revealed. Do enjoy the watery trine. FULL MOON 23 Scorpio 55 May 15, 2014 3:17 a.m.

ARIES With Venus and Uranus together in your first house you are set for your own personal rebellion and this could well be a revolt in the area of relationship as Mars moves direct in the 7th house. The Full Moon is in the deeply transformative 8th house and brings powerful endings to those parental themes that I was mentioning in the introduction. The Sun moves into your sibling and short distance travel area of your chart and brings a fresh new burst of communication or writing assignments. There will be more movement over the next month. Your work could take you away from home and those you love.

LIBRA Mars is about to go direct in your 1st house of personal interests and self-expression and will, as mentioned, trigger Pluto in your home arena and Uranus in your relationship/ partnership house again through June. All of the recent self-reflection will bring about the changes in the above areas over the coming weeks. There is an important female relationship that is influencing you in a way that makes you want to let-go of some of your earlier programming and patterns of behavior. The Sun is in your 9th house of foreign interests by the end of the fortnight and brings travel prospects or study opportunities.

TAURUS This fortnight begins with the Full Moon in your relationship house and makes a trine to Jupiter in the 3rd house of short distance travel and siblings. There could be the necessity for you to contact or visit family members this fortnight or in the near future. You will be taking a little more responsibility in your partnerships as the Chiron influences your friendships and group and community interests. You could find yourself dealing with an institution with regards to a key female in your life and this could come unexpectedly and be influenced by the Pluto in your house of travel and foreign interests or through a marriage.

SCORPIO The recent Full Moon/Saturn in your 1st house is challenging you to honor your talents and to bring healing through a larger sense of family and higher values for yourself and others. You perceive the importance of early childhood nurturing and bring more compassionate understanding to this area of your life and how it touches you personally. Venus and Uranus dance in your work and health sector and bring an important female colleague to the fore. The challenge is in the way you think and communicate with others and family members and the healing potential is now possible through a more sacred approach to relationship.

GEMINI The Sun is about to enter your sign and the first house of the chart. This is everything to do about the self and the image you present to the World. As the fortnight begins with the Full Moon in your 6th house of service, work and health the focus is more and more on how you think about yourself and as Jupiter harmonizes your values with your new beliefs you begin to feel more connected through what you share in the World. Venus/Uranus in the 11th brings female friendships to a sudden ending or you may receive a lot of inspiration through groups or gatherings with women friends. Either way, female relationships are highlighted.

SAGITTARIUS The Sun enters your partnership house this fortnight and Mars moving forward in the community and friendship/group sector could well mean that there will be some very stimulating new acquaintances, bordering on romance about to take place. You have an interest in learning now although the Full Moon/Saturn has you still deeply entrenched in the 12th house of meditation and possibly dealing with a family member and an institution of some sort. Venus and Uranus in the 5th also portend a sudden romantic interlude. Jupiter in the 8th brings endings of one sort or another with regard to family members.

CANCER This current Full Moon highlight happened in your 5th house of children and romance and the trine to Jupiter in your sign is in the area of personal/self-interest. As you nurture and nourish yourself and your own needs the more attractive and desirable you become and the more present and available to any children in your life. There is a significant woman or women in your life who are influencing your career choices although it may at the same time bring those endings we were talking about, to other relationships in your life. The Sun enters the 12th or spiritual arena of your chart and highlights the need for mental integration.

CAPRICORN Saturn and the Full Moon together at the beginning of the fortnight in your community/friendship sector brings you to the limelight within your home environment. Jupiter in Cancer is in the partnership house and brings a deeper and more compassionate understanding for family members and/or the need for a strong sense of community with regard to nurturing its members. Chiron in Pisces is the other player in the trine, is in your 3rd house of siblings and communication. It would be pretty safe to say that you are having some rich conversations with brothers and/or sisters this month. Love them up!

LEO As the Sun enters the house of groups and friends, you could find yourself more outgoing and wanting to exchange thoughts and ideas. You like people and stimulating conversation and with Mars about to go direct in your 3rd house short trips, or visits with siblings are on the cards. The Uranus/Venus dance is in your 9th house of foreign interests, travel and higher learning and there is a significant female relationship taking place in one or all of these areas. The challenging aspect is from the Pluto in your 6th house of work and health or pets. You may find you are over doing it and may need to let go a little of some of your responsibilities.

AQUARIUS Uranus joins Venus to start the fortnight in your 3rd house of writing, communication, media and short travels. A significant female association influencing you in one or more of these areas is encouraging you to let-go of some deeply held and previously unconscious, behavior. Mars moves forward in your house of long distance travel and higher understanding through study and so sudden epiphanies are possible because of this female connection or through your own female attributes such as intuition, empathy and emotional understanding highlighted at the beginning of the fortnight with the Full Moon Scorpio.

VIRGO With Chiron in your polar opposite sign and in the house of relationship, you could find this fortnight’s theme, beginning with the Full Moon and Saturn in your 3rd house of communications to be bringing you some very deep and transformative conversations. Jupiter in Cancer in the 11th house of groups, friends and community is the 3rd angle of this watery trine and adds the family focus. We are not necessarily talking about blood relations here, but as well, those you feel are your soul family or pod. As the Sun moves through your career sector your thoughts turn to a future orientation and potentially a new path or vocation.

PISCES The Sun enters your 4th house and shines on everything that is to do with home and early childhood roots. Meanwhile the Jupiter in Cancer continues to bring nurture through or to children and makes a lovely aspect at the beginning of the fortnight to the Full Moon/Saturn Scorpio in your 9th house of foreign influences and the Chiron in the 1st house of self-interest. It could be that there is a return to innocence and a sense of playfulness and adventure in your life. This is an emotionally rich time for everyone and in particular water signs. Perhaps even a sweet new relationship for you, as Mars in Libra finally moves forward.

The State of Expat Theatre, Drama and Comedy in Bali By Ines Wynn

Performance arts like theatre, drama, masked dance, comedy and storytelling are a staple of Indonesian and Balinese culture. The popularity of puppet theatre, topeng masked drama and numerous forms of performance arts attests to the enduring lore of theatre as public entertainment. Impressive stage performers like Balinese dramatist Cok Sawitri and contemporary local groups like Teater Kini Berseri and Komunitas Mahima play to enthusiastic audiences. Drama and comedy with themes highlighting the political and social changes in contemporary Indonesia resonate with Indonesian audiences and are also appreciated by Indonesian-speaking expats who savor the expression of a cultural phenomenon. Expats themselves, no matter where they originate, have a long tradition of theatrical arts. Presumably they bring their own cultural expressions to their new place of residence. So the question pops up: What is the state of theatre arts for and by expats in Bali? A cursory search reveals a few organized theatre groups though none are professional. Community theatre group FireÀy in Ubud was created by artistic director Rehane Abrahams who has a long history of acting, play w r i g h t i n g , producing and directing in her native South-Africa and various countries around the world. The group is an innovative, intercultural theatre company with its own identity and unique performance style. The group was successfully launched at the Ubud Writer’s Festival in 2009 with A Midsummer Night’s Dream and has staged 9 productions since then. Many of Firefly’s productions are adaptations of Shakespeare’s and other famous classic plays. All the plays performed by FireÀy are site-speci¿c; the background and scenery are totally natural. Midsummer Night’s Dream was staged in the gardens of the Arma Museum taking full advantage of the many old, gnarled and romantic trees to form the backdrop to the story. Other plays, like Conference of the Birds and The Tempest, were respectively presented at the Bali Birdpark and Sanur Beach. The last play, performed at the House of Masks and Puppets last December was a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Theatre FireÀy is mostly composed of young actors in training - a mix of expats and Indonesians - with a number of drama and dance professionals to anchor the group. The participants range from age 6 to 60 and have been trained mostly by Rehane assisted by professional dancer Bharat Natyam and others adding to the eclectic conservatory level training that FireÀy developed. Firefly’s productions use comedy, music and dance as essential ingredients. Many of the plays feature live music, song and dance –sometimes a mix of traditional Balinese dances and decidedly more modern body percussion. The last show, Romeo and Juliet blended Opera and Balinese folk singing with members of Cudamani using their Kecak and Body Percussion skills to create atmosphere. In Midsummer Night’s Dream, electronic music composer Noe Sakana created broken beat gamelan as well as subtle video projections. The Unfolding featured Ubud’s Hip-hop B-Boys Aerial Crew. The plays have always had a great attendance and been able to see the light of day thanks to generous sponsors. The French community in Bali is particularly lucky and active in the field of theatrical performances thanks to the committed efforts of Jean-René Gossart, a French expat who is a professional actor, playwright and stage producer, retired from the venerable Comédie Française. A few years ago, Jean-René formed an amateur troupe in Seminyak, named License IV, with 25 members and staged a musical comedy he wrote himself, Suzon et la République. Producing a full-length play with an assemblage of theatre neophytes with no previous acting experience proved to be a challenge. However, the play staged in November 2012 at the

Royal Beach Hotel, turned out to be a great success. It was a farcical comedy set in the 1960’s in the rural south of France and played on the manias and misunderstandings of the rural villagers with the village idiot and the village belle as main characters. It was an entertaining production involving 28 roles for 24 performers, 67 musical themes, 21 backdrop changes, 52 tableaux, about 80 costumes and 50 liters of fake wine used per performance. Since then the group has staged another hilarious comedy, Le Diner des Cons (Dinner of Fools) last November to great acclaim. Jean-René is a gifted playwright who has the knack of making roles tailor-made to each actor. He capitalizes on the actor’s physical attributes, regional accent, behavioral quirks, etc. and folds it into the role. Jean-René is very passionate about the theatre and considers it a s o r t o f psychological release. He readily admits the type of plays he can produce with his current group is narrowly de¿ned; however, in order to play out his own love of what he calls beautiful theatre, he occasionally stages a more serious piece like Jean et Beatrice, a one-act, 2-actor psycho-drama with surprising humoristic undertones, which was performed last month. Beatrice is a woman with a parched, dry interior soul who is thirsting for love and lives in an abandoned loft that is paradoxically evocative of the abundance of water. This play blends ¿ction and reality in a mad kaleidoscope of allegory, symbolism, illusion and disillusion. It was a captivating performance by 2 professional actors that drives home the point that quality theatre is still not well represented in Bali. Financing the plays comes from a few sponsors and JeanRené’s personal funds. The production cost is inadequately covered by ticket revenues at Rp 220,000 per ticket. Obviously not a money-making venture, but for Jean-René it is the realization of a long-held dream. His other dream is to ¿nd a permanent venue for rehearsals and productions. Even with or without, one of his next pieces will be an adaptation of Molière’s celebrated play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, a musical comedy-satire which will be performed by members of the Alliance Française in Indonesian language, with typical Indonesian or Balinese props, gamelan music and background decors. In January next year he will produce Le Prénom, a hilarious comedy about a Jewish couple who are planning to name their ¿rstborn Adolf. Another gleam in his eye is the August production of Pièce Bien Montée pour Divorcés (Help, My Husband is Coming Back), a peculiarly French variation of “Cafe-Theatre”, that sees short, 1-hour plays performed by 2 or 3 actors in a public setting like a café, restaurant or pub. Next October, his group will perform “Le Petit Bug” at the Royal Beach Hotel in Seminyak, a “boulevard comedy” which is another French variant on the vaudeville genre. Jean-René Gossart is one of those lucky individuals who was able to switch from a full, demanding yet rewarding working life, and bring his life’s passion into retirement by morphing it into a slower, more fun-¿lled hobby. For him the pleasure of the theatre is in his blood and cannot be eradicated. Centerstage in Umalas is a performance arts school that rocks. It specializes in vocational training for children interested in learning musical and performance skills. They teach music, drama, musical theatre, Hiphop dance and other techniques. Part of Centerstage’s activities is the Rockschool, a locus of examination in the theory and practice of the musical arts for those kids who wish to pursue higher studies and are applying to art and drama schools abroad. Centerstage has some 110 students enrolled, aged 5 to 20. However, training is also available for adults who wish to develop vocal and breathing techniques. Check www.cmsbali.com for further details. The tireless and bubbly Melanie Jones, herself a noted vocal performer, coach and teacher, has been headmistress and principal teacher at the school. The drama department is now in the process of staging the iconic 1950’s musical “Grease” with 28 kids, aged 9 to 14 from7 different international schools. There will be 3 shows on June 6th and 7th at the Canggu Club gymnasium. Tickets are on sale at Centerstage, the Canggu Club and Rob Peetoom. Melanie collaborated with highly experienced teachers such as actor and dramatic arts teacher Caroline Farrell, professional dancer Patricia Bos, who performed in CATS across Europe for 3

years, and Jodie Brittain, an Australian ¿lm and stage actor and model. Melanie’s short-term plans include developing the drama department to integrate more adult participants in order to stage a broader variety of productions and adult plays. She especially wants to produce more musical theatre. Melanie laments the lack of theatrical performances in Bali. Though there are playwrights, professional actors/actresses and theatre producers among the many expats in Bali, they tend to stay out of the public eye. Only dyed-in-the-wool pros like Jean-René Gossart ever attempt to recreate the rich theatrical traditions of their home countries. Perhaps it is the sheer vastness of any undertaking of that kind, not to mention the sizeable financial burdens of mounting a creditable performance that is intimidating. Part of the problem as well is the non-existence of indoor areas where theatre productions could be held including comfortable seating and decent acoustics. The few productions that are seeing the light of day are mostly staged in hotel ballrooms, or sports arenas like the Canggu Club. The Bali Comedy Club - Standup comedy as performance art is a good sell and the success of the Bali Comedy Club (BCC) attests to that. The monthly shows staged at Riyoshi Seminyak and Grace Kelly’s Pub in Kuta attract fullroom crowds. The comedians are a happy mix of talented amateurs and seasoned professionals invited from Australia, the USA and Europe; sometimes local talent is showcased. The humor ranges from subtle to corny and coarse, but is always vastly entertaining. Some comedians easily bring the house down. The Bali Comedy Club performances are not known for their PC bend; the humor can be expletive-laden, risqué, even a bit racist and misogynic. What may be hilarious to one person can come across as low brow and vulgar to another; thinskinned people should abstain. This also explains why the BCC’s performances are popular in Seminyak and Kuta, but markedly less in Ubud. Humor has broad universal appeal. The up-front and close interactive connection with the comedian on stage who taps into the vibes of the audience appears to have a very personal touch no matter what the cultural background of the spectators. What makes good comedy? It has been said the key to successful humor is surprise; this may be a debatable point and very subjective. Several elements seem to play a role: the capture of the moment, the timing and delivery of a punch line, the audience’s gleeful anticipation and expectation in seeing someone else caught in a foolish situation or as the butt of a joke. Stand-up comedians are experts in timing. They go for the comical jugular. They tap into current events, political situations or social conundrums to highlight the absurdity of it all. Their performances can take the form of virtual monologues or can veer to the highly interactive. At ¿rst glance, improve artists have the unusual talent of leaving the set script off the radar and engaging in a highly spontaneous interchange with their audience. However, what the audience is not so much aware of is that there is indeed a scripted outline to it all with the audience being carefully manipulated to provide the information the improve comedian can milk for laughs. Check www.balicomedyclub.com for more details on upcoming events. As lamented by several people, professionals, amateurs and audience members, the state of professional and amateur, non-Indonesian theatre in Bali is truly deplorable. Professional troupes are non-existent; the few community groups are faced with the dif¿culty of ¿nding regular sponsors, a suitable performance venue, and funding to ¿nance any production. Theatre performers are all unpaid volunteers and donate their own time and money to mount a production. While the performances are relatively well attended, ticket revenues are insuf¿cient to ¿nance the plays. Obviously theatre is not a sustainable art form on this small island. While talent abounds, as well as enthusiasm and motivation, the ¿nancial restraints seem to be un-scalable. Whether this situation will change in the future is anyone’s guess. The irony is that in a rich cultural environment like Bali some forms of expat culture are just not taking root.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Are there some gamelan instruments that require private practice or tuition? Compared with say a piano or a violin which may take years and years of rigorous training to master, Balinese gamelan instruments are for the most part easier to learn. This is because most of the instruments are played in groups of anything from two to fifty people, and a lot is about being able to keep time and fit in with other people. There are, however, some instruments that still require months and perhaps years of lessons and or practice to become proficient. After studying gamelan music for more than 18 years, I’d say that there are two instruments that require private tuition or at least private practice, and a lot of dedication and perseverance: gender wayang and kendang. C/G/G-13 Nov. 13

The 10-keyed gender wayang bronze metallophone is the first instrument I learnt in Bali and really specialized in. Requiring a difficult two-handed damping technique using two small wooden mallets, gender wayang music is not only complicated rhythmically but also has a large repertoire (perhaps more than 150) of memorized pieces. It is currently experiencing a boom in interest due to the Bali Arts Festival gender wayang competitions that started just a couple of years ago. Most people go to a guru to learn repertoire and technique. Normally people learn together with a friend or in a small group to save tuition costs, but but it is becoming increasingly common for wealthy families to call the teacher to their house for a private lesson. Kendang means double ended drum in Balinese and it is either played with the hands or with a mallet depending on the style of music and size of the drum. While most Balinese teach themselves drum simply by whacking one over and over until the desired sound is produced, many choose to learn with a guru who will be able to explain proper technique and sitting position, as well as how to interlock with another drum if that is the style you have chosen to learn. He will also teach students how to fit in with other instruments by singing the parts or giving examples on his own instruments. Many Balinese say that once these instruments are mastered, all other Balinese instruments are easy to learn. Now that I know that there are hundreds and hundreds of different gamelan instruments on this small island, I’m not too sure… Copyright © Kulture Kid 2014 You can read all past articles of Kulture Kid at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

DVD

Diary by Mr. Robet

Robocop Dutch director Paul Verhoeven made the first ‘Robocop’ in 1987. It was a highly successful Sci-Fi movie about a badly injured Detroit cop, of the near future, who was transformed into a Cyborg. Once he was up-and-running, Robocop set about getting revenge on the gangsters responsible for his plight. In the movie, Verhoeven took the opportunity to make some rather scathing comments on American social issues, its sitcom culture, and, American corporate greed. All of these themes, for the times, contributed to making Verhoeven’s movie quite a subversive and thought-provoking film. In this new re-make, Verhoeven’s plot has been faithfully followed, but, some of his themes have been expanded out for a more contemporary audience. In particular, the ethical dilemma of a Cyborg having the power to make life or death decisions over human criminals, is thoroughly examined. Of course, 27 years have passed since the first ‘Robocop’, so, as you would expect, the special effects and robotics in this new version are spectacular.

however, the Nazis have now taken to the streets. The lovers’ future doesn’t seem to be all that bright. Patrice Leconte directs this tear-jerking sentimental movie.

Zulu Today, in Capetown, the city is still haunted by memories of apartheid. Two cops, one black and one white, are trying to hunt down what they think is a serial-killer, but, their search is to lead them to a drug cartel, which has produced an extremely popular ‘recreational’ drug. However, after some initial ‘fun’, the drug then induces a form of paranoia which causes acts of very extreme violence. The cartel hopes that this drug will rid Capetown of its ‘Black’ problem. This powerful South African movie is written and directed by Jerome Salle, who pulls no punches while telling his horrific story. Both Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker give strong performances.

Draft Day A football team’s manager has to select winning players for the next season.

Proxy This is an unusual Canadian movie, written and directed by Zack Parker. On her way home from a medical check-up, a very pregnant woman is beaten-up and robbed by a mugger. Consequently, she miscarries and falls into a deep depression. After joining a support group for women who have also suffered tragic losses, she meets a woman whose son was kidnapped and never recovered. They quickly become friends. However, this friendship is just the first step in a series of increasingly complex and peculiar events. This movie is weird, but, if you stick with it, you should find it interesting. The Devil’s Violinist In the final credits of this movie British director Bernard Rose dedicates his film to Ken Russell. If you have ever seen Russell’s ‘Lisztomania’ (1975) you would understand why. In his ‘Pop Art’ movie, Russell looked at the life of pianist and composer Franz Liszt, and presented him as a kind of 19th century ‘Rock and Roll Star’. In ‘The Devil’s Violinist’, Bernard Rose does pretty much the same thing for 19th century violinist and composer Niccolo Paganini. Following his European triumphs, Bernard Rose concentrates on Paganini’s London debut, which had its moments, and, Paganini’s rather shabby treatment at the hands of the London Press. The movie also looks at the strange relationship between Paganini and his over-dominating manager. Heaven is for Real A preacher’s very young son is seriously ill, and goes to a hospital for an operation. On his recovery, he matter- of-factually tells his father that while he was on the operating table he visited Heaven, and sat on Jesus’ lap. Later, he also tells his mother about things which happened before his birth, which he could not possibly know. This is all too much for the preacher to fathom, and, he seeks professional help to find a reason for his son’s extraordinary statements. Apparently, this movie is based on real life events, which gives you pause for thoughts. Greg Kinnear stars as the very perplexed preacher. A Promise Set in 1912, a young man becomes the personal assistant to an aging German industrial tycoon. However, the tycoon becomes ill and house-bound, so, the young man moves into the tycoon’s mansion to continue assisting him. There, he meets the tycoon’s lovely young wife, and, a romance between them develops. But, before they can continue on with their affair, the man is sent to Mexico on business. World War One intervenes, and the man is caught in Mexico. The lovers lose contact. Several years later, the man returns from Mexico and the lovers are re-united;

Favor A married man is having an affair, and, when his mistress is accidently killed while they are cavorting in a motel room, he asks an old friend to help him move the body. Other grisly things also have to be taken care of, but, when the job is finally over and done with; blackmail raises its ugly head. Copperhead At the very beginning of the American Civil War, a family of pacifists living in a rural community is brutally victimized by the local militant abolitionists.

REGENERATE WITH ADIPOSE STEM CELL THERAPY

I attended a talk at the Oberoi Hotel a few weeks ago on Stem Cell therapy by a Singapore-based international medical concierge company called Regenetec and was surprised at the number of mostly ex-pats who were in attendance. Everyone was curious to learn what this new medical treatment is and what it can treat: anything from diabetes, joint injuries or just anti-aging. Although many people are now learning about stem cell therapy it has actually been clinically applied for more than 60 years, or most commonly known as bone marrow transplant. It extracts stem cells from your own bone marrow and then returns them back to you, which has been useful in treating conditions like Leukemia and Lymph Node cancer.

target the areas of the body that requires repair through a “homing” process (inured or inÀamed tissue release bio-chemical signals to attract stem cells and other healing substances. The results take 2 -6 months for the full effects to be realized. One of the main reasons that it takes time to develop new therapies is because clinical trials take many years before they are approved and just as long before they eventually become standard practice. Furthermore, large scale clinical trials using autologous stem cells for a wide variety of conditions are unlikely as they are non-patentable; meaning that there is no commercial incentive to fund those trials.

What are stem cells and what are they good for? There are about 200 different kinds of specialized cells in the human body, such as skin cells and muscle cells. All specialized cells originate from stem cells, that haven’t specialized yet as the body grows. Stem cells are accountable for creating new tissue and after growth is complete, the cells take care of the If you choose autologous adipose stem cell therapy for anti-aging you’ll notice an increase in energy, your skin getting repair and regeneration of damaged and aging tissue. softer and tighter, improvement in sleep and libido, improved Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in 4 hormone pro¿le, increased metabolism and an average of 4-7 kg weight loss, hair darkening and volume increasing, mental different ways: clarity and calm, better bowel transit, faster exercise recovery and stamina and improved visual acuity. All of this within a few weeks after treatment.

Stem cells play a major role in tissue and organ development and continuously work throughout our life. Stem cells have the ability to split and develop to repair damaged cells from aging process, wear and tear, injuries and illness. A new born baby has around 80 million stem cells but as we age those numbers drop and by the age of forty it’s down to around 25–35 million. That means that our body regenerates slower and collagen production is reduced making our skin look dull and wrinkled. Many suffer from hair loss, reduced muscle mass and degenerative diseases are likely to develop such: diabetes, high blood pressure, cardio vascular conditions and stroke caused by a decrease in the function of cells. Stem cell therapy replaces millions of cells to regenerate our body.

Stem cell face lifts are like the “fountain of youth” to quickly restore your youthful glow without the risks of major surgery by using your own adipose stem cells in a 100% safe method without chances of rejection or complications. In comparison, botox uses a toxin from bacteria to paralyze nerves in your face to reduce ¿ne likes at the expense of genuine facial expression, whereas stem cells work to strengthen and tone your facial muscles to naturally lift your face just like when we were younger.

For women who would like breast augmentation with a natural and safe method, adipose stem cell offers a natural look without the risks of implants. The same is true for buttock augmentations. Hair Loss For men concerned with hair loss Stem Cells Autologous Transplantation helps the weakened hair follicles to recover their vitality. The physician performs transplantation of your own stem cells that are harvested from your fat and are activated before use. This hair treatment is absolutely natural and safe. There are no risks of side effects of other treatments, such as allergic reactions, infection or irritation to the skin of the scalp. The success of stem cell transplantation in hair restoration is: 1. Promote natural hair growth 2. Prevent hair loss 3. Strengthen the existing hair 4. Regenerate hair and make it healthy.

In 1998 Bio Tech Company discovered that there is a huge amount of stem cells in abdominal fat, commonly called adipose fat, ten times the number of bone marrow cells in the same amount in 1cc. These stem cells are dormant and need to be activated. The stem cells are harvested from the patient, separated, enriched, activated and returned to the same patient within 3-5 hours. This is a simple procedure done under local anesthesia using special painless 1cc micro cannula (this dramatically Where can you ¿nd it? improves recovery time vs the standard 3cc cannula) to harvest a small amount of fat (100-200cc). Adipose is 100% safe because the fat used is the client’s own with a 0% chance of rejection.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH OVARIAN CANCER May is Ovarian Cancer awareness month and while breast cancer receives quite a lot of publicity and support, ovarian cancer awareness tends not to be on the same scale. Indeed breast cancer affects many more women than ovarian cancer does, however ovarian cancer is just as deadly and has earned the title of the ‘silent killer’. The mortality rate is high as ovarian cancer is usually well progressed by the time the women feels any symptoms. What is ovarian cancer? Ovarian cancer affects a woman’s ovaries. Around 90 per cent of ovarian cancers start on the outer covering of the ovary. This is known as epithelial ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is a relatively uncommon disease, affecting only about 1400 women each year in Australia. Approximately nine hundred women die of the disease each year. What are the risk factors for ovarian cancer? While we don’t know exactly what causes ovarian cancer, the evidence shows that increasing age is a wellestablished risk factor for the disease, with around 80 per cent of cases occurring in women aged 50 years and over. A small number of women (around 5-10 per cent of all cases) will be at increased risk because they have a family history of ovarian cancer. Inheriting a faulty BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene is involved in most cases of hereditary ovarian cancer. The risk increases with the number of relatives who have developed the disease, or have relatives that have breast or prostate cancer. What are the symptoms of ovarian cancer and what can you do? Symptoms of ovarian cancer are often vague and can mimic those of other disorders. This can make ovarian cancer difficult to diagnose in its early stages. (A Pap smear is used to detect cervical cancer and cannot be used to detect ovarian cancer). The best thing women can do is to be aware of the symptoms that may indicate ovarian cancer and see their GP if they experience any unusual and persistent changes. The most common symptoms that may indicate ovarian cancer are: • abdominal bloating/feeling full • appetite loss • unexplained weight gain • constipation • heartburn

• • • •

These symptoms can also be present in other illnesses. It is important that you have any unusual or persistent symptoms investigated. In order to establish the cause of your symptoms your GP may refer you for further tests such as an ultrasound. Diagnosing Ovarian Cancer As part of the diagnostic process to check for ovarian cancer, your doctor may suggest a CA125 blood test. CA125 is a protein found in the blood. It is known as a tumor or cancer marker as increased levels may indicate that ovarian cancer is present. CA125 can be produced by ovarian cancer cells. If a trans-vaginal ultrasound shows a cyst or tumor on your ovary, a CA125 may be helpful in finding out if these changes are benign or malignant. A positive CA125 test does not mean that you have cancer. There are many other causes for raised CA125 levels such as ovulation, menstruation, endometriosis, fibroids or benign ovarian cysts. Illnesses such as liver or kidney disease can also cause a raised CA125. For these reasons, a CA125 test alone cannot be used to diagnose ovarian cancer. About 50% of women with early-stage ovarian cancer have normal CA125 levels. If your CA125 levels are normal and symptoms persist or get worse, you should request a trans-vaginal ultrasound.

Alternative Voice

ParacelsusAsia

Fruit & Veg are Good for You, Right? Well…, Yes & No, says Environmental Group

We all know the beneÀts of fruit & veg are greater than the downside but do wonder a bit about all the pesticides and other things our food providers get up to bring them to market. Pesticides won’t harm us we are told, others aren’t so sure. Some don’t even want us to know what’s in our food. ParacelsusAsia attempts to shed some light. Every year an organization called the Environmental Working Group (EWG) comes up with a list ranking the levels of pesticides found on 50 or so fruit and vegetables, based on ¿gures released by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). They release the ¿ndings under such media grabbing banners as “The Clean Fifteen” and the “Dirty Dozen”. The best and worst fruit & veg? Apples and celery top the Dirty Dozen, avocados and pineapple the Clean Fifteen. More on the list later. The EWG’s sophomoric headlines appear to work, much to the fury of the Alliance for Food & Farming (AFF) who claim to speak for some 50 agricultural organizations, which strangely includes a number of organic farmers, who presumably support the use of pesticides. Each year the EWG put out their ¿ndings and are roundly savaged by the AFF for bad science and anti-Americanism generally, for being nasty to US icons, apples and farmers. Whatever their level of patriotism, the folks at EWG can’t really be accused of being anti-apple, nor indeed of bad science, since their figures all come from the USDA. They make a point of stating that fruit and vegetables are good for you and that is better to eat them than not, and that pesticide residues were all below government permitted levels. They do not even say that the pesticides found are toxic (though some certainly are and have been banned in other countries). They merely list in order from 1-50 the fruit and vegetables with the most and the least levels of pesticides. AFF on the other hand think it wrong that you should know about this. Here then are the results of the EWG 2014 Pesticide Survey: Top Ten - The Cleanest Vegetables: Avocados(1), Sweet Corn(2), Cabbage(3), Sweet Peas(4), Onions(5), Asparagus(6), Eggplant(7), CauliÀower(8), Sweet potatoes(9), Mushrooms(10) Fruit: Pineapple(1), Mangoes(2), Papayas(3), Kiwi(4), Grapefruit(5), Cantaloup(6), Honeydew(7) Watermelon(7), Bananas(8), Oranges(9), Raspberries(10) Top Ten – The Dirtiest Vegetables: Celery(1), Spinach(2), Bell peppers(3), Cucumbers(4), Potatoes(5), Hot peppers(6), Lettuce(7), Kale(8), Carrots(9), Green Beans(10) Fruit: Apples(1), Strawberries(2), Grapes(3), Peaches(4), Nectarines(5), Plums(6) Blueberries(7), Cherries(8), Pears(9), Tangerines(10) If you are devastated to ¿nd some of your favourites showing up in the wrong place, don’t be too cast down and remember: - the bene¿ts of fruit & veg are greater than the downside - the science on the accumulative damage of pesticides is unclear. Limited consumption of the more pesticideladen is unlikely to do much harm. - washing or peeling fruit and vegetables will in some cases (but not all) reduce or remove pesticides. - Best yet, solve the problem and buy organic. Lastly, this list is from the US and though it is almost certainly pretty similar to importations from Australia and Europe, we live in Bali and, while our staples and other main crops may not be beyond the reach of the Agri-biz majors much of our fruit is local and organic and obtaining a wide range organic vegetables here is relatively easy. Unease about Pesticides And yet…. why do I have a nagging feeling about all this generally? Everybody seems to be leaning over backwards to tell us that the pesticides used are all OK for us to eat, always and without a care about how much is being used or accumulating in our bodies. The legislation covering pesticide-use in the US basically dates back to the Prevention of Food Adulteration (PFA) Rules of 1953 when, as we know to our cost, rules were written at a time when the concept that Corporate America, aided and abetted by government, could lie to us, let alone kill us, in pursuit of a buck hadn’t even occurred to most of us.

It worries me that in all the annual hoopla around the EWG Pesticide Lists there is very little said by anyone including the media, as to what the name of these pesticides actually are, particularly when an apple could contain the residue cocktail of some dozen potentially toxic substances. An online search really doesn’t reveal much initially, but with a little persistence you can start tracking down the names of some of them. You also ¿nd that there is actually some scienti¿c evidence and concern about the accumulative effect of pesticides in our food. In November 2012 Prof. Irva Herz-Piciotto research leader of California University Davis found that pre-school children are in particular danger from contaminants in their food. The study published in Environmental Health found safety consumption benchmarks in the sample were exceeded for arsenic, dieldrin, DDE and dioxins. In addition, more than 95% exceeded non-cancer risk for acylamide with pesticide exposure particularly high in tomatoes, peaches, apples, peppers, grapes, lettuce, broccoli, strawberries, spinach, pears, green beans and celery. An earlier study into children in 2007 the Study of the Use of Products & Exposure-related Behaviour or SUPERB honed in on 44 foods known to have high concentrations of toxic compounds ¿nding excess levels of the metals arsenic, lead and mercury, pesticides chlorpyrifos, permethrin, and endosulfan, pollutants dioxin, DDT, dieldrin and chlordane as well as acrylamide. A spokesperson for Cancer Research briskly dismissed the ¿ndings, “this study really doesn’t tell us anything. It’s important to remember that levels of pesticides found in fruit and vegetables are usually very low and there is no evidence that eating small amounts of pesticides increases the risk of cancer.” I hope we are all reassured.

A report by UK Government watchdogs of March 2012 found that washing fruit and vegetables does not remove chemical pesticide residues. Chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and infertility remained on the skin of apples despite “basic kitchen practice” as well as on the outside of potatoes similarly prepared, they said. Whereas the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) insist that residues on fresh produce in the UK are so low that there’s no need even to wash them. The Agri-Food & Biosciences Institute of Northern Ireland checked to see if residues of chemicals used to stave off insects, bugs and fungus found washing did not remove them. Apples treated with the insecticide chlorpyrifos, fungicides captan and carbendazim and antioxidant diphenylamine (DPA) were still found after washing. DPA has been banned in the EU and carbendazim is banned in both the US and in the EU on some crops having been linked to cancer. Potatoes treated with parasite suppressant oxamyl, sprout suppressants maleic hydrazide and chlorprophan and the fungicide imazalil still had residues remained but reduced with cooking. Imazalil has been identi¿ed in the US as a cancer risk and chloprophan gas been shown to cause inÀammation of the stomach. Based on these and other ¿ndings Nick Mole of Pesticide Action Network UK tells us that, “repeated exposure to low doses and mixtures of pesticides can and does harm us, especially children’’. Presented with the above facts a spokeman for the FSA insisted that the public “had no reason to be concerned by the ¿ndings”. And that alas is rather how it is, not just with fruit & veg, but with ¿sh and many other of the foods that make up a decent diet. Our food has become so industrialized, so debased, polluted and de-natured that there is precious little we can eat without having to think about it. How has it come to this? Inertia and ignorance on our part, cronyism and corporatism in government and our business and medical establishments. What to do about it? Inform yourself as best you can, then… Go Forth! Punish the wicked, don’t buy their goods. Reward the dietary virtuous with your custom whenever you can.

Book Signing and Presentation (8 June)

I am sure most readers over a certain age will remember the hit musical with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John and the fabulous sound track that came with it. Now, Danny, Sandy, Rizzo and Kinickie are back, live on stage in Bali. Twenty eight of Bali’s very best young talented actors and actresses between the ages of 11 and 14 will perform in this hit musical. Yayasan Pendidikan Kreativas Remaja or perhaps better known as Centrestage Performing Arts and Production School will showcase Grease as their ¿rst musical theatre performance here in Bali. The cast have been hard at work over many months attending rehearsals and being guided by some great talents in the business. Melanie Jones founder and teacher at Centerstage collaborated with Caroline Farrel ex-actor and dramatic arts teacher, Patricia Bos a former international dancer and Jodie Brittain an actor/model from Australia to guide the cast. So much work has been put into making this production a tremendous success. The Canggu Club have kindly donated a space for the performances and Rob Peetoom who has sponsored the show will do the hair and makeup. It really has brought the community together and it is great to see the production ¿nally ready for stage in June. You can purchase tickets at The Canggu Club, Centerstage or Rob Peetoom. Do go along and lend your support as this is a rare occasion to have a piece of live theatre performed by the talented kids in Bali from different international schools. Remember to purchase your tickets well in advance as this is bound to be a sell out show. Good luck to the cast and production team!

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Bali Chronicles by Willard A. Hanna In 1902, Bali’s very ¿rst tourist, Heer van Kol, a member of the Dutch parliament, visited the island as a fact-¿nder at his own expense. Armed with a giant four-fold passport, this indefatigable and discriminating traveler explored unknown regions with a retinue of pack ponies, servants, porters, interpreters, camping equipment and furnishings. He interviewed rajas, colonial officials and military commanders, collected detailed information on religion, art, agriculture, slavery, cremation and taxation. Upon his return to Holland, Kol wrote a massive 826-page travel account of his journey (unfortunately only available in Dutch). This turn of the century tour is just one of a number of entertaining and gracefully written accounts from Bali Chronicles, a wonderful collection of historical essays by an accomplished Indonesian scholar who has authored a dozen books on S.E. affairs. The book was originally published as a series of ¿eld reports in the single volume Bali Pro¿le: People, Events, Circumstances 1001-1976, a title that gives more of an idea of its contents. The current edition is an updated reprint with a new foreword. This academically inclined reader is chronologically divided into 14 historical periods spanning the entire period since the beginning of the island’s recorded history with chapter on “Western Intruders (Pre-1800),” “Monopoly and Sovereignty, Plunder and Salvage (1830-1843),” “Evolution of a Colonial Empire (1849-1900)” and “Euphoria and Trauma (1930-1955).” Whatever era you dip into, in whatever facet of interest, you’re likely to come across a lively interpretation of the temper of the times. The author takes great relish writing about how key controversial personalities from both East and West interact with each other in various humorous and ludicrous situations and how their decisions affected the island and its people. Ranging from humane and visionary to evil and self-serving, each of the characters has in one way or the other loomed large in Bali’s history. We get a good sense of the motives, the attitudes of foreign traders, troopers, regents, missionaries, slavers, celebrities or whoever else he introduces. Among them is the knowledgeable and humane Dutch Controleur Schwarz and the tourism pioneer Morzer Bruyns; the warlike raja Djelantik of north Bali and the former Bali governor I Gusti Bagus Oka. Though the book lacks footnotes and is hobbled as a research tool by the absence of an index, the author used primary and veri¿able sources complete with the bad spelling found in the original sources. Some accounts, where relevant, are backed up with statistical and social information. In his sketches of modern historical events and important personages, believing that the Europeans brought moral and social progress, Hanna presents largely a nostalgic, positive and liberal view of the Dutch administration of the island. “Life in Bali in the 1930s was agreeable not only for afÀuent foreigners but also for the Balinese,” he writes. Apparently, the author did not take into account how life in the 1930s was characterized by poverty and hardship. Some of the information is inevitably dated. For example, the last section on Balinese religion and culture is rife with stereotypical summaries that need freshening up. In spite of this minor detraction, the compilation is still a useful and pithy source of information on Balinese society, customs,

by Bill Dalton

religion and ceremonial life that still applies to this day – the function of priests, the protocols of court life, observations and commentary about Balinese art, architecture, painting, carving, etc. The convoluted histories and intense competition for land and power between the rajas can be hard to follow and at time as tiresome as reading of the complicated intrigues of the Medici family or the Hapsburg monarchs in European history.

C/He/G-14 May 14

Some odd facts that you might not be aware of: *Marshal William Daendels, the Dutch Governor- General of Java, on behalf of the French and with the help of Balinese rajas, made repeated attempts to recruit Balinese soldiers and slaves to help ¿ght Napoleon’s battles in Europe. *Contrary to what conventional wisdom would have you believe, post-war Dutch colonials deserve more credit than they’ve received for putting Bali back on the road to recovery after the war, achieving a higher degree of success than anywhere else in Indonesia. Starting in 1948, they brought in food, clothing, medicines; opened schools, repaired roads and irrigation systems, restored service in clinics and hospitals, and even began exporting rice. *Even though he was half-Balinese, Sukarno was not loved by the Balinese. Hanna presents a blistering portrait of the ¿rst president of the republic, describing him as a debauched megalomaniac whom the Balinese held in contempt. As Hanna writes, he built his residence above a sacred bath, imperiously called command performances anywhere and everywhere of actors, musicians and dancers, debauched young girls at private parties and had pigs and dogs shot so as not to give offence to fastidious Muslim visitors. *Hanna’s acute distress at the numbers of tourists visiting Bali at mere 300,000 seems quaint and strange today when numbers of tourists have topped eight million at the expense of the island’s ecology. The writer shares the same solution for Bali’s perennial problem, i.e. that tourism is the chief means of providing support for its populace and that Bali should serve as a model of success for other islands, and even nations, to emulate. Vintage black and white photos from as far back as 1865 inform the text - old engravings from RafÀes’s History of Java; ships of the “First Fleet” to the Indies in 1595; two female slaves posing mesmerized in a studio; a Brahmana in hand-loomed songket; liege lords and court scribes dressed in full court regalia; Dutch residents and Dutch cavalry on the move before the puputan; scenes of tourists and cock¿ghting from the 1920s; bare breasted girls and legong dancers from the 1930s; photos from the postindependence period. An insightful introduction by Adrian Vickers, a professor of history at the University of Sydney, places the book in the context of the impact of the West and tourism are currently having on the island. This capsule cultural and social history, bringing an eye-opening new perspective to the island’s deep and complex past over the last millennium, is one of the best historical collections ever written about Bali. Bali Chronicles by Willard A. Hanna, Foreword, Introduction by Adrian Vickers, Periplus Editions 2004, ISBN 978-0-79460707-4, paperback, black & white photos and engravings, bibliography, 287 pages.

How To Get Things Done And Save At Least 7 Minutes A Day I remember once reading the story of an enthusiastic salesman in his new farm machinery territory. He approached an old farmer and was extolling to that lucky gentleman the benefits and features of knowing how this wonderful new invention would help him around the property. The farmer cut him off and said, “Listen, sonny, I don’t use 80% of what I know now, so what am I going to do with this new stuff?”

can find it so easy to get lost in all the STUFF of day-to-day just getting by and not doing the other 80% of things they know. They know and I know I’m their little Tinkerbell, giving them a reminder to get back on track in NeverNever Land. I’m the Man with the Plan for helping them focus on their Freedom Club membership, the light on the hill, the person who can use his own experience to ensure they don’t have to have their own Jagged Little Pill….

Does this sound familiar to you in your business? How do YOU keep up? I was talking with my sister who has a retail outlet selling aboriginal art. In a previous lifetime Di owned a top notch qualitative marketing agency, so she’s not afraid to apply new methods in her marketing efforts. I was extolling to her how Pinterest was really taking off, getting more referral traffic than LinkedIn, Google +, YouTube combined, and of course we all know YouTube is huge.

Try this about games. Gamification is all the new buzz, where you put bits on your website to get people more involved. Trip Adviser does it, “You only need 3 new reviews to be a champion of the universe.” They really make my day (much worse) to read about that friend I didn’t even know had left Bali has raved about a restaurant in Corsica, and someone else I know didn’t find the food quite up to par in Colombia. (Why don’t they have a section for reviews on local cocaine?)

Her response was “Tricky, Grae, by the time I update our website, LinkedIn, google plus, our blog, our shopping site and our facebook page..... full time job. And, by the way, check out this article on Fair Trade for a local newspaper I’ve just written.” Full time job indeed, not to mention those pesky customers coming in and wanting to buy stuff and interrupting her concentration all the time.

But deep research has found that women are much different to men in the games they play. (Really?) Women have guilty consciences playing games on the web because they should be cooking or helping the kids with homework or something equally valid. But it’s a different story if the game tells them they can “earn” something like discount coupons; then it’s not a waste of time and it’s much more like the logic of saving lots of money at a sale.

I told her about an email I have somewhere that shows you how to plan and record a webinar in 20 minutes, then use software to semi-automatically post it to YouTube, translate your audio to text for a blog, take an extract for a Facebook posting, and another extract for a tweet. I’m exhausted already just thinking about it! Time to take a couple of whiskey tablets and lie down. But then I’ll’ probably have nightmares about my website not adjusting properly for a phone so nobody will ever come and see me again!

Deep research is into everything now; in comparison with business marketing analysts, psychologists don’t have a clue. Everywhere you go, everything you do, is sliced and diced and fed into Big Data. The story of K-Mart realizing from her purchases that a girl was pregnant before her family did (and sending her mail to her home address with suggestions on what to buy next!) is modern day legend.

The biggest problem I have is just to remember to do something. For example, I had a totally different idea for this issue’s article a few days ago, but couldn’t remember it when I sat down to write it. I find now that if I don’t use my calendar to remind me of every appointment or sought after opportunity for fun time, I miss out. Maybe it’s simply old age and dementia, but I think it’s more likely that, same as everyone else there is just so much going on that if you don’t snatch that thing out of the air and peg it down somehow you’ll never see or think of it again. And even if you do snatch it and peg it, if you don’t use it right then and there it will end up being buried under a mudslide of today’s and tomorrow’s essential reads and references. Have you ever checked out your web browser bookmark manager? I did and man, it’s scary. Trying to work out why you ever reckoned you would have time to come back to those thousands of links to absolutely fascinating, exciting and immensely useful pages of STUFF that were going to change/add to/reduce/abolish whatever. The only upside is at least I didn’t print out all that STUFF to read it later and wipe out an Amazon or two. At one stage I found I was escaping all this overwhelming stuff by clicking on a simple card game. It keeps stats of how many times I win and lose (that’s private) but in total based on 7 minutes a game I claculate I have spent 35 days in a very short time playing avoidance. Why don’t they just come out and call it that? I’m a top gun in Avoidance. I mean, I could have been proficient in Bahasa in that time or painted something spectacular or improved my overtone singing or hung out with friends. Now I play the other game on my desktop, JigsawMania where instead of 5 minutes a game I can easily lose 35 minutes and have the lying creators tell me how clever I am because the normal time for this puzzle is 1 hour and 20 minutes. Oh Yeah! Now I’m a Master of Mania as well. So I can really empathise with my mentoring clients who

Even my phone does it when I’m texting. The next word that is offered up to me makes me feel I must have the most boring set of words in the whole wild world, but that’s not true – it’s actually learning about me which is even creepier. Have you ever tried tricking it with something wildly outlandish? Doesn’t matter. Only do it a couple of times and that becomes a new suggestion for you whenever the first letters are close. For example, I live in Ubud and hang out a lot at Hubud. Didn’t take my phone long at all to bring up Hubud as first choice whenever I typed “hu..” I’d swear that my supersmart phone knows more about me now than any human ever did. I call it my Stalker Phone. All my secret website visits, all my preferred search preferences, all my friends and likes, my favourite music and videos, where I go in the world.

Say What? Question: I am a lawyer (not in Bali) and have been practicing for about a year. Before that, I studied toward my degree and did practical training part-time whilst working for my current firm as a secretary and paralegal for 6 years. I have always doubted whether I was cut out to be a lawyer. While I am relatively comfortable with the intellectual aspects of the job, I struggle with being highly introverted and conflict-avoidant, and I tend to lack self-esteem, confidence and assertiveness. None of this helps when I’m trying to manage clients, colleagues and other lawyers. Emotionally, I have had a terrible couple of months. I made a few serious mistakes about a year ago and again recently, and I am terrified that I will eventually make a mistake that will get me fired. I am continually breaking down in tears and feel unable to think clearly or function properly. I have had bad times before, but stuck with it because I wanted to finish my degree and get qualified. I want to quit and fantasize about getting seriously ill so I have a “legitimate” reason to leave. I am afraid that I will not be able to find another job, and I will be placing undue pressure on my husband. He has said he will support me financially and emotionally, but he needs the same from me. We have no debt and no kids, and he has a good (albeit stressful) job that earns him more than I, but he works in an area whose future is uncertain in the current economic climate. I know I should get another job now while I am still employed, but if I find another job – particularly another legal job – it will be no better. Every time I browse job websites, I start to feel despondent that there is nothing out there, and I get stuck in a state of inertia between desperately wanting to leave and feeling trapped where I am. Ultimately I am struggling with the question of whether I should just quit a job that I feel is slowly making me insane, or whether I am being weak and self-indulgent, looking for an easy way out when people put up with bad jobs worse than mine. I need an independent perspective on this. Thanks! Dr. ZZ: In a word, quit. Set a limit of 6 months to quit whether or not you find another job, and mark your calendar “Quitting Day.” Then, start socking away as much of your hard-earned money as you can in order to build yourself a financial cushion. You don’t need to tell anyone you’re quitting. Just keep your head down, do your work, try not to complain, and see if you start feeling better knowing there is an end to all this. Talk to your husband, and make plans for what happens when you temporarily take him up on his offer to support you after you quit.

You may need to take a month off to heal from everything, or perhaps the two of you can plan a little bit of joint mini-vacation soon after you are no longer employed. Build that in. People leave jobs all the time for reasons that might raise questions in future interviews. As in a relationship breakup, you don’t need a “legitimate” reason to leave. The fact that you want to leave is good enough. If you’re smart and pleasant and good at what you do, little else will matter. Whatever skills and intelligence got you through law school and into this job will get you your next position. Those attributes are in you and not in whatever workplace you’re in. So take care of you, follow your heart, and let the chips fall as they may. Question: I’m dating a girl who’s great, smart, sweet, funny, gorgeous and absolutely incredible – except in bed. This is a big issue for me. She literally just lies there and doesn’t make a sound. I have to ask her questions, and then she just gives me one-word answers and looks at me. She never wants to try anything fun, new or exciting, and I’m reaching the end of my rope. The only thing keeping me with her at this point is the fact that she’s super good looking. But is it enough to date a super hot chick if she’s lame in bed? What should I do? I’m thinking to break up with her because our sex is so bad. This sucks. Help! Dr. ZZ: Sexual style is one of about ten different areas that affect the compatibility of relationship. (The other nine are interests/hobbies along with physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, communication, personal growth, and professional/financial styles.) Some even go so far as saying that sex is the “barometer.” So here’s a question for you to ask yourself: Is she really as great, smart and funny as you’re making her out to be? Or, is she actually kind of boring in other areas as well? You make it sound as if her only redeeming virtue is that she’s good looking, which is fine, but it’s not worth hanging onto a piece of eye candy if you’re not truly enjoying yourself in other areas as well.

Growing a Living Carpet

‘Dear Dr. Kris, I have a level block, but I don’t like my grass, or more specifically maintaining it! I would like to plant an alternative ground cover. I would like to be able to walk and sit on the new groundcover that will replace the old grass lawn, so something reasonably Áat with no prickles or spines would be best. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, John’ Ground covers include any plant that can be used to carpet any expanse of land. Grass is often considered to be the best looking, most functional ground cover, though it can be the hardest to care for. Grass requires constant mowing and weeding, suf¿cient sunlight and a regular watering routine. A grass lawn is the most popular groundcover grown for its aesthetically pleasing look, softness underfoot and ability to cope with heavy foot traf¿c such as boisterous kids and pets. There are situations where growing a nice lawn simply demands too much time, effort and water than some of us are willing to commit. In other cases a growing a grass lawn should be avoided simply due to limiting environmental conditions such as for example, shady areas between narrow passageways, behind walls or under trees. Growing a lawn on waterlogged soil or land that is prone to Àooding is also to be avoided, until drainage problems are recti¿ed. Growing grass on steep banks is troublesome when it comes to mowing, and would also contribute to soil/land erosion. In this situation it is best use deep rooted plants that will hold the soil together, or even a groundcover vine that can creep up the slope and shield the underlying soil from rainwater erosion. The challenge in choosing an alternative is that the virtues of grass as a living carpet for the yard are very hard to match, the feel of it underfoot or for playing on, and the fact that it looks uniformly neat if correctly maintained. Other than those desirable characteristics mentioned that are speci¿c to lawns, other types of groundcover can be equal or even superior to a grass. At the very least, a thriving carpet of a suitable groundcover will always be more attractive than a poorly kept lawn. When choosing a plant as a groundcover ideally you will be looking for something with a wide range of tolerances, which is easy to propagate and spreads rapidly, with lesser demands for care and maintenance when compared to grass, yet retains some uniform neatness and softness. A well chosen groundcover can provide the same advantages of a lawn without the high maintenance needs and water requirements, it should also crowd out weeds, and self propagate (spread by itself). Mondo Grass. The easiest alternative that I could suggest is a choice between common Mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus) or dwarf mondo grass (a cultivar of the former). Used as a ground cover, it will thrive in areas of shade where grass cannot grow, and it will also do well in a sunny spot. It is commonly used in landscaping between narrow gaps within tiled areas, borders and around paths. Note that if your site is exposed to intense full day sun it may be a bit more dif¿cult to grow successfully without some full sun protection. Mondo grass is easily available in most nurseries and is relatively inexpensive. When you ¿rst plant out the Mondo you can plant plugs in rows with small gaps in between, and allow the plants to ¿ll in over time. During this

process you will still need to undertake regular weeding until it has become fully established. Regular Mondo will grow up to 20cm in height, whilst retaining its neat look and is very soft and spongy/comfortable underfoot. If you desire something shorter you can mow the mondo, three times per year at most. Alternatively the dwarf mondo stays under 10 cm and therefore never has to be mowed. It will grow much tighter, eventually totally eliminating the need for weeding. For extremely hot or sunny locations you could consider Kidney Weed (Dichondra micrantha). It will produce a soft green carpet that thrives in warm to hot climates. A Herb Lawn. If you have the creative spark and are prepared to experiment, try using low growing walkable ground cover herbs. This option can be used if the lawn is exposed to occasional, but not heavy foot traf¿c. Several varieties of thyme will form dense, ground-level mats, with foliage ranging from green to bluish/grey. When they Àower, they can appear as a carpet of pink, white or purple. Creeping thyme (Thymus praecox) could be the best variety grown as a groundcover, releasing an aromatic scent every time you walk across it. It is also drought resistant (all thymes are), although slower growing so you would need to plant it out close together, and allow time for the gaps to ¿ll in between. It will produce white to pink Àowers, and grows to a height of 5-10cm. It will do well in partial to full sun. Another herb that you could try is chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). This plant has fine soft textured aromatic foliage and beautiful Àowers. It reaches 10-15 cm in height, produces attractive Àowers, and all parts of the plant can be used to make a soothing relaxing tea. Chamomile has long been used as a lawn substitute because of its ability to tolerate foot traf¿c. Planting a bed of dandelion is yet another relatively inexpensive option available. You can propagate hundreds of plants from the seed head of an old Àower. Dandelions are low growing, will cope with foot traf¿c, and lovely Àowers will spring up from the garden adding colour and attracting pollinators. You may need to mow a few times per year to keep them looking neat but you will never need to water them. The healthy leaves can be harvested for culinary use, and the roots can be roasted and ground as a healthy alternative to coffee.

C/Ho/G-21 August 13

For best results when preparing your new groundcover lawn ensure that the bed is weed free, and maintained this way until the new groundcover is established, at which point the ground cover should crowd the weeds out. Good drainage is also important as these plants are all drought tolerant and will react poorly to a water-logged soil. By experimenting with these ground cover alternatives you will be able eliminate the need for regimented mowing, weeding and watering, giving you more time to just simply sit back, relax and enjoy the whole scene!

“Laying a Nestegg”

Of course I don’t have a problem since my good friend (well I’ve never actually met him but I think he must be a very good friend) Brown Morgan Umqueque of Ghana sent me this very generous email: My client is a serving Top and Senior Government Official in the Government of Republic of Ghana and has mandated me to source for a trustworthy and competent person that will be able to work with me to receive the sum of US$148 million been held in the Suspense Account of my “Bank for intelligent Safekeeping and Foreign Investments.” Who on earth could NOT trust a bank with a name like that? I have, as requested, sent my bank account details and pin number and expect Mr Umqueque to send me some money post haste. Well that’s my retirement sorted out but where do you put your money these days? All over the world there are people who saved all their lives for a comfortable retirement only to find the goalposts have moved. Realising their nestegg will be plundered by governments or by pleonectic financial institutions, people across the world are simply not bothering to save for their pensions anymore. The ageing of populations makes matters worse with fewer and fewer people having to support more and more people. Governments seem to have forgotten their role as referees protecting the not so bright from the very bright amongst us and so our world economic systems with an inbuilt principle of unfettered competition means that as soon as someone acquires a bit of wealth they have advantage over others and are far better equipped to make even more money. Inevitably the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and recent figures suggest that the 85 richest people own more wealth than the poorest 20% of the world’s population put together. These people don’t want to pay taxes so they aren’t helping the pensioners very much. There is an ever increasingly desperate search for sensible places to invest and, since the financial crisis first hit, ordinary people’s trust in many financial institutions and some of their more “creative” investment ideas has hit rock bottom. Probably more than ever property is being seen as the safest option, second only to the cardboard box under the bed strategy. So how safe is it to invest in property in Indonesia? The Bali Post recently reported that, after 4 years of very healthy growth the property market across Indonesia has slowed significantly (up to 49%) in 2014 and developers particularly are under pressure finding it difficult to sell their properties. It has to be said that Bali is often considered to be independent of national trends and has seen incredible price rises in recent years but on the streets of Bali there is plenty of evidence to suggest that sales are hard to come by at the moment. It is probably an understatement to say that the property market in Indonesia is a bit of a jungle, there are many ethical people around but sadly also many unethical people ready to take advantage of the many naive people caught up in the magic of this place. There is also a lack of the safeguards you would expect in other countries. On top of all this and probably the thing that brings uncertainty to everything in this country is corruption. Those courageous people at the KPK (the Corruption Eradication Commission) are doing a great job but they have a long way to go. In recent years they have convicted a surprisingly large number of high profile people including politicians, judges, lawyers, senior police officers and government officials.

This situation may change, there is an election coming up. The vast majority of ordinary Indonesians want corruption to be eliminated. SBY won the presidential elections in 2004 and 2009 and for one very simple reason (a fact that appears not to be fully appreciated by the leadership of most of the major political parties): because the people knew him to be honest and the best bet for saving them from the endemic corruption that surrounds them. During his first term the KPK worked hard and the people’s confidence was high believing the President was working hard to stamp out corruption. Unfortunately during his second term a series of major scandals involving many of his senior party officials has left the people disillusioned. But suddenly from nowhere has come a new player, Joko Widodo, who has consistently shown that he is a man with integrity, with the people’s interests at heart and, most importantly, does not appear to be a man with personal wealth or power as his political motivation. If he does win the election he has a huge task ahead of him but, if he can start to change the mindset of the people, this may have major ramifications for the investment climate in Indonesia perhaps providing higher levels of security for people who wish to invest here. It is to be noted that the Indonesian stockmarket rallied on the day his party endorsed him as their presidential candidate.

As a result there is a renewed sense of hope for the future. Don’t hold your breath. If you speak to anyone who has lived in Indonesia for many years they will tell you that for decades there has been an awareness of the huge untapped potential of this country and a sense of hope that sadly has never really materialised. It is known that the banking system is not managing money laundering as well as it could. If this tightens up we may see property prices fall in Bali. This may however be cancelled out by increased investment in what may be perceived to be a safer investment climate.

There are many other factors that could affect the investment climate in Indonesia. The Indonesian economy is getting stronger and recent figures state that Indonesia is now the 10th largest economy in the world. Workers across Indonesia are becoming stronger in their demands for higher pay and each year we see demands for increases as much as 30% or 40%. These rates of increase will very quickly destroy the competitive advantage of manufacturing in Indonesia and seriously damage exports. This is a short sighted view, as Australians will know, because when pay goes up prices also go up leaving the people no better off but the country disadvantaged as an exporting nation. The Indonesian economy has been badly hit recently by a government ban on the export of unprocessed ore such as copper, zinc and tin. The idea is sound that by processing ore in Indonesia the adding of value generates more jobs and income for the people, the harsh way the measure has been introduced is, however, a shock to the system.

Meanwhile the fallout from the activities of over zealous American real estate “experts” who were selling mansions to rag and bone men continues and in Britain, to try and get things moving again, interest rates are being kept very low. Great for business but, for Mr Average, that nestegg is not getting the 5% interest that the whole idea of a retirement income was based upon. In addition governments are increasingly eyeing pension funds as money they can plunder as sources of extra cash.

not be so much concerned with the return on their investment, in fact a loss might even help them somewhere else in their business enterprises. It is believed that this is one of the reasons why property prices in Bali have been going through the roof.

Against this in the long term the Indonesian rupiah continues to fall in value against other currencies. These and many other factors will affect the property market and its role as an investment option. Will the value of property increase? Certainly the cost of building is very likely to increase but it is the value of the land that is the more important factor and is what is increasing most. Will a declining rupiah remove much of the capital gain? Is the pope a biped? When did he last cut his toenails?

This is all far too complicated for me so I think I will talk to my new friend Sir Peter Butcher from the United Kingdom who says: “I am the former UK Ambassador to Turkmenistan as United Nations Envoy/Ambassador.I’m retired and want to venture into private investment and from my inquires, your country economy has being growing rapidly on tourism and i want to invest in real housing estate…….”

There are those who thrive in such an environment and it has been suggested that much of the boom in property we see in Bali is the result of money laundering.

HECTOR’S Intriguing Art One measure of a country’s social maturity is how it responds to and interacts with those within its society whose culture is a minority expression. Most countries have minority populations. Mostly, let it be said, they do not demonstrate cultural maturity in their dealings with them. Australia is by any measure an ethnically diverse nation. Even before the great post-World War II migration boom, its settler community included people of many different origins. Among these were large numbers of Chinese. But as with other settler societies within the Anglosphere – the United States, Canada and New Zealand – it is the descendants of the dispossessed aboriginal inhabitants who are most deserving of goodwill and a substantial helping hand. Without canvassing colonial policy towards Australia’s Aborigines – about which the historical literature is excoriating – it is pleasing to note that today’s policies seek (though imperfectly) to return to Aborigines the self empowerment they lost when British settlers arrived two centuries ago. Part of the problem is that much of today’s Aboriginal population is not in the same pre-bucolic hunter-gatherer circumstances as Bennelong, who is remembered in the name of a federal electorate in Sydney and whose place in history (as First Dupe, one might say) is assured. Australia has long passed the point where it would Anglicize the name of its national animal symbol as “kangaroo”. Some sources assert that this means “I don’t know”, an early whitefella having asked a passing local what they called that strange animal. It has passed, too, the point where a future township (in Queensland) would be called Cunnamulla, which means midden. It’s rather nice to think that while they were being harried out of their ancestral territories by a pack of uncouth and frequently murderous Brits, the Eighteenth and Nineteenth century Aborigines still found time to have a joke at the expense of those who were doing the harrying. In the two centuries since British settlement and the beginnings of a distinct Australian culture and indeed ethnicity, the Aboriginal source of some of this identity has generally been left out of the narrative. That is a tragedy. Complete redress remains a distant goal. But the Australians are actually trying rather hard across many areas of human endeavour. One such effort is the world-touring Message Stick exhibition. It portrays indigenous identity in urban Australia. The art in the exhibition is challenging, in some instances because it itself perpetuates emergent myths about the principles and purposes of earlier policy towards Aborigines. Some is very striking, especially Christian Thompson’s three 2007 Hunting Ground works. The exhibitions in Indonesia are the show’s last stop before it repatriates itself to the former Terra Australis Incognita. It was at the eclectic Maha Art Gallery in Renon, Denpasar, from May 4-14. New Consul-General Majell Hind did the honours at the opening assisted by Vicky Miller, First Secretary (Cultural) at Australia’s embassy in Jakarta.

Write On Before we leave the Antipodes for other matters, one other thing deserves a mention. It is the Australia-Indonesia Emerging Writers Exchange organized through the Australian Embassy’s arts and cultural program. Australia’s Luke Ryan took part in the Bali Emerging Writers Festival over the weekend of May 3-4 (it’s a useful spin-off from the annual Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, this year from Oct 1-5). He and his Indonesian counterpart, Ni Ketut Sudiani of Bali, will be at the Emerging Writers’ Festival in Melbourne (May 27-Jun 6) and the National Writers’ Conference (May 31 and Jun 1) where they will discuss the exchange and potential for Australia-Indonesia collaboration. Ms Sudiani notes that being in Melbourne will provide a completely different experience from her home in Bali. True. For one thing, the city’s climate is apt to give you all four temperate zone seasons in one day. But it’s a fabulous place. A representative taste of the city’s contribution to Australian culture should include seeing an AFL game at the MCG, a visit to the National Gallery of Victoria, a peek at St Kilda beach (or Brighton for a different ambience) and plenty of coffee and culinary treats in Lygon Street. Enjoy, Sudiani.

ART-ful Plan Delphine Robbe, the motivating force behind environmental efforts on land and under water in Lombok’s northern Gili islands, is promoting a new project to grow a coral reef off Senggigi on Lombok’s west coast. There’s novelty in the project, which is similar in concept to the successful Biorock coral regeneration in the Gilis. It is using metal works of Teguh Ostenrik, one of only a few Indonesian artists in that genre who exhibit widely in galleries. He is the founder of the project. Among the novelties

Pink’s the Go Anti-breast cancer campaigners Bali Pink Ribbon organized a breast screening road show this month, in which free screening is offered to Balinese women at various locations around Bali. This is essential preventive health work and a very valuable effort. Bali Pink Ribbon founder Gaye Warren tells us Bali Pink Ribbon is working with volunteer doctors and nurses from FeM Surgery Singapore and led by Dr Felicia Tan. Two mobile ultrasound units were sent to Bali for the road show, on loan from Philips Singapore. BPR volunteer doctors and nurses led by Dr Dian Ekawati from Prima Medika Hospital in Denpasar also took part. Prof. Tjakra Manuaba, head of oncology at Prima Medika and medical adviser to Bali Pink Ribbon, led a seminar at the Badung breast screening road show. The annual Bali Pink Ribbon Walk is on Oct. 25 and will be held as usual in the Nusa Dua tourism precinct. It’s always fun and the money raised is essential to help keep breast cancer education programs and screening going. Free screening will be available at the Oct. 25 walk and a threeday screening road show will follow. On Oct. 17 BPR has an “In the Pink” lunch and fashion show planned. It’s in our diary, as is the walk. Advance purchase walk tickets are available from Pink Ribbon House, Bali Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Support Centre, Jl. Dewi Sri IV/ No.1, Kuta. It’s off Sunset Road. Or check their website: balipinkribbon.com

Late Notice There’s no stopping Nigel Mason, viewed by many as the undisputed king of adventure tourism in Bali. He celebrated turning 70 last month in spectacular style with a dazzling party at his Bali Adventure Tours Company’s headquarters at Ubud on Apr. 13. According to Diana Shearin, of the aptly named DISH public relations outfit and who helped with the fiddly bits, Mason pulled out all stops with an evening of non-stop entertainment, decadent cocktails and an enormous buffet for 400-plus guests. Mason’s Balinese wife of 31 years, Yanie, and their two sons Jian and Shan were present, as was Mason’s daughter Katia, who lives in Australia. The proceedings were helped along by Australian comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson and a troupe of lissom young ladies who had delightfully forgotten (as so many do these days) that you’re supposed to wear something over your scanties. Still, this isn’t Aceh. Shame we missed it. It’s also a shame that an accident in cyberspace prevented the appearance of our original brilliant report on the affray in last edition’s diary. The Great Cursor sent it to a galaxy far, far away. Or we hit the wrong button or something.

Won’t Work Blogger Vyt Karazija posted a great little video on Facebook recently, relating to education about not dumping trash in waterways. He suggested – entirely reasonably – that it should be screened frequently on Bali television channels. He’d found it while trawling Facebook, which despite its many demerits is a very useful social medium. The clip features a red truck dumping trash into a river near a sign that proclaims “No Dumping”. So of course we had to rain on Vyt’s parade. We pointed out that while it was indeed a good idea, it just wouldn’t work. Most red truck drivers would simply assume the rule couldn’t possibly apply to them. And drivers of all the other trucks, the green, yellow and blue ones, could say without fear of contradiction that they don’t dump anything from red ones, so what’s the problem?

Swell Party We dropped into the Legian Beach Hotel on Friday, May 9, to help celebrate the opening of the new Ole Beach Bar there. The LBH is a grand local success story. It celebrates its 40th birthday this year and is doing so with the assistance of its significant cadre of return guests, some of whom have been holidaying there for decades. General Manager Arif Billah, who hails from Lombok, is rightly proud of his staff and the hotel’s place in Bali’s tourism sector. The drinks at Ole Beach Bar are great too.

Ubud Area UBUD GALUNGAN FESTIVITIES Ye e - h a h ! I ’ m f i n a l l y coming back to Bali after a longer than anticipated spell in Australia and arriving at the absolute best time, for the Hindu celebration called Galungan. We tend to tuck our Christmas trees inside our homes, whereas the Balinese share the joy - and protect their dwellings - with tall, exquisitely made bamboo offerings, each containing several different essential elements, to send the right messages to the Gods. As I drive from the airport to Ubud, the streets will be alive with these ‘penjor’ – one outside each family compound in Bali. No two are alike; each vibrant colourful creation begins with a 6-7meter, bamboo pole, all bending over into the street and ¿lling the air with festive colour. Galungan is the most important feast for Balinese Hindus, a celebration to honor the creator of the universe (Ida Sang Hyang Widi) and the spirits of the honored ancestors. JAPANESE MOVIES You know you are in an international setting when you eat a delicious Italian meal in a Balinese town, watching a Japanese movie. Ubud’s Blackbeach Restaurant is known for its great movie collections; usually but not always from outstanding French or Italian directors, chosen with the assistance of the French or Italian embassy. Every Wednesday this May and June, they’re turning Japanese. As usual, it’s an excellent selection, with English subtitles; the ¿lms are free, starting time 8pm. Check the full program at www.blackbeach.asia. Black Beach Restaurant is at the top of Jl Hanoman. P: 0361 971353. GUNG-HO DRIVER Above-and-beyond service reported by ex-pat Joe Yaggi, who returned to Ubud at midnight, frazzled from a complicated work trip through Java, to realize he’d dropped his phone somewhere on the way back from Denpasar airport. He called his driver, Gung De - “a cool guy and excellent, fully licensed driver whom I’ve known and hired exclusively for about 15 years” - but although Gung searched his car, the phone wasn’t found. While a frustrated Joe waited sleeplessly for the morning, knowing there was no chance till after the weekend to report and replace the phone, Gung De had gone back over their route from the airport. He eventually found the phone in the car park of the Circle K where they’d bought snacks en route.

UWRF is offering the opportunity to join Ghosh and his wife, biographer and novelist Deborah Baker on an exclusive cruise through the breathtaking Komodo Islands. Baker, shortlisted for the 1994 Pulitzer for Biography for her In Extremis: The Life of Laura Riding, often writes about the journeys of men and women into highly unusual relationships and unfamiliar countries. Any one of her books can serve as the perfect travel companion, but this opportunity to island hop with the author herself is a once-in-a-lifetime happening.

Amitav Ghosh and Deborah Baker: an exclusive audience with two great storytellers By Renee Melchert Thorpe One of the unexpected rewards of being a regular at the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival is the opportunity to witness unique moments in a professional writer’s career. In Ubud, we’ve met writers hot on the trail of a new story, writers that are smack in the middle of their research, or even those in the ¿nal stages of the writing process. When they get the microphone in their hands, they share things that might not make it into the published work itself but prove illuminating to their readers nonetheless. These ‘thinking aloud’ moments are priceless. The best writers are creative, thoughtful and observant of life. They commit to developing the authentic voices, Àavours and tempos today’s readers demand. Ubud Writers & Readers Festival has con¿rmed two such writers - Amitav Ghosh and Deborah Baker - and it’s set to be a hot ticket this October. The Festival has been lucky enough to host Amitav Ghosh once before, nine years ago at its second outing. That week, he and co-headliner Michael Ondaatje (The English Patient) were frequently spied at Indus Restaurant (one of UWRF’s much-loved venues), casually leaning on the balustrade, exchanging their thoughts. Ghosh often doubled as a rapt audience member, and was an engaging speaker during his sessions. He had just published The Hungry Tide, his novel of grand proportions inspired by a chance meeting between Ghosh and a man whose mother accidentally found love in the untamed Sundarbans. A marriage between people of such disparate economic backgrounds was unheard of in the vast, primitive wetland that serves as a nature preserve and home to many struggling Bangladeshis. It’s no surprise that Ghosh began with a degree in Social Anthropology. Constructing a character’s personal story in the context of the stories of others, pulled and pushed by the vagaries of civilisation, is Ghosh’s great talent. Using the epic format in The Glass Palace (set in Burma), Ghosh won a loyal following and continues to bring alive historical timelines and events by weaving engrossing tales of vivid characters coming and going over time. His current Ibis Trilogy about opium and colonial domination in Southeast Asia is one book away from completion. What a time to have an audience with the author. And what an audience, as in addition to Ghosh’s Festival appearances,

Perhaps it was pursuit of the ultimate happening that brought Allen Ginsberg (of The Howl fame) to the banks of the Ganges on his walkabout in India. In A Blue Hand: The Beats in India, Baker brings the reader along on a journey of friends who blazed part of the Hippie Trail. A Blue Hand, praised by Baker’s fans as a joyride in rich, lyrical prose, lavishly sets the scene of early 60s’ wanderings into India and its myriad cultures and subcultures. Ginsberg tunes in and drops out at the peak of his career to meet up with fellow beat poet Gary Snyder and strange company in vivid places totally foreign to the young Americans. Iconic to many for their embrace of Asian religions and practices, this book should resonate with many in Bali. Baker revisits the early 60s in her extraordinary The Convert: A Tale of Exile and Extremism. In this combined novelisation and collection of actual letters, readers come to know Lahore’s headscarfed Maryam Jameelah, born Margaret Marcus, middle class New York secular Jew. Baker paints a striking image of a feisty young misfit leaving her increasingly unstable life behind on a steamship dock, yet always returning to her loved ones in long letters home. Were there regrets? Discoveries? Maryam’s mentor in Islam and adoptive father was the man who apparently planted the seeds of militant Islamic extremism. The young woman’s religious conversion is another epic journey of mind, soul, and body that inspired Baker to give it her all, including contacting Jameelah, who has since passed. The writer has turned out a complex mystery to puzzle over and unravel together. Readers show no sign of ending the many debates about Baker’s book, Jameelah’s bizarre rises and falls. It’s one remarkable woman’s truth as it Àickers and tantalises, amid shadows and mufÀed voices. Baker and Ghosh will surely be superb shipmates to those privileged few who choose to cruise the Lesser Sundas. Years ago, after a lunch at the Maya Resort, Ubud, I found myself crammed next to Ghosh in a minivan heading back to the Indus Restaurant.

Endearingly modest and showing sincere interest in others, Ghosh waxed appreciation for the Festival, its volunteers, and of Bali as a whole. Our over¿lled van trundled its uncertain way through Ubud’s traf¿c and I discovered the greatness in the thoughtful and selfeffacing man next to me. Those on the same boat in October will have excellent company. Festival participant Deepika Shetty recently posted this gem on social media. Must share this timely nugget in closing: To know a writer, get to know his wife/husband/partner. And to get to intimately know these two writers yourself, join the UWRF x SeaTrek Bali cruise through the Komodo Islands October 7-12, directly after the October 1-5 Festival.

MUSIC MATTERS By Toby

This edition of Music Matters is all about Bali as a venue in itself. I will be looking at Bali as a whole, and posing the question, will the island be able to attract larger acts in the future? Also I will be looking at the success of world class artists who have had concerts here, acts like Snoop Dog, and Skid Row, and summing up my own experience when Skid Row came to town last October. But before any of that, you lucky folks are getting a real treat, an interview with international session musician Marc Alméras. Hi Marc,

October 4th 2013 is a date that will remain in my mind for a very long time to come. It was the date that notorious bad attitude, hair metal rock stars, Skid Row came to town. The band had just played a huge arena in Jakarta and unlike most other larger bands gave Bali the bene¿t of the doubt and played in Boshe nightclub as part of their United World Rebellion tour. I was working as a teacher at the time and requested the day off, however they refused, so I faked illness! Miss Skid Row in Bali? Man I would have quit my job for this one! The weather was dreadful, a nasty storm gripped Bali like a mother to a newborn. With an old tour t-shirt, a 4 pack of pre mixed Jack, and my I pod loaded with old school Skid row tunes, I set off from Sanur to Boshe.

Balinese, Indian & Vegetarian Food Romantic Setting • Sumptuous Menu

TJB - I’ve just got a couple of questions to ask you on behalf of the Advertiser. MA – Shoot TJB - How long have you been a pro musician? MA- “Almost 20 years. I started playing in club when I was 16.” TJB - What attracted you to Bali? “After touring a lot in Europe (Spain, France, Austria) I was in search of new adventures abroad. Bali which I visited for years looked like a perfect place to settle down.” Have you played with any world famous muso’s? “I had the chance to open concerts or jam with some of my heroes, Robben Ford, Lucky Peterson, Maceo Parker… More closely, I’m happy to play regularly with one of the best Indonesian pianists, Nita Aartsen. I remember this peculiar gig in Brawijaya University Malang with Nita and Tompi, in front of a big crowd, great memories.” What are you looking for now? “I de¿nitely want to mix my guitar playing and musician background into an electro club environment. DJs or clubs interested for collaboration let me know. Any serious projects in search of a guitar singer or bassist partner can contact me, I’ll be happy to help. I’m also preparing songs for my new album. Obviously this is a lot of work, as I plan to play all by myself, (guitar, vocals, bass, drums and keyboard).” Do you think Bali is a good place to get noticed? “As an international destination with millions of tourists coming every year, for sure Bali is in the spotlight. Notoriety is not something I’m running after, making good music with cool people is more my thing.” What is your favorite genre / type of music? “I was raised in a blues, jazz, 60s and 70s rock and funk surrounding, but to make music for a living I had to open wide my ears and musical culture to many genres. Music is so vast.” What do you hope for the future? “Music, music, music ;)”

Getting to Boshe I was surrounded by a sea of people mainly local Indonesian, and Balinese. There were a good smattering of westerners there as well. The club was pretty much rammed to capacity. Much to my dismay, in between the support bands, the club decided to play crappy electro tunes (it’s not that I’m adverse to electro, but this was a rock gig!) I bought another very expensive Jack and coke and some beer, and got nice and deep into the crowd to wait for The Skid. I got talking to a guy who had been living in Bali for a fair while, he had brought his two sons to the concert as they had never heard proper rock music live before, and he seemed just as up for it as me. The lights went down and the youth (and the not so) youth went wild, and there was the Band! They kicked off with ‘Sweet Little Sister’ then plowed on through. Sollinger then gets on the mike between the second song and explains that they chose to come to Bali even though it’s probably the smallest stop on the tour because we deserve it, and they have a message for everyone “Show us that Bali can rock”. The crowd went mental, although not many people understood the concept of a mosh pit there. When the band start up with ‘Slave to the Grind’ ( a heavier track) I leap in front and center, and push some guy, he pushes back ,and before too long we have a twenty deep mosh pit in full swing. The gig was epic. The new album is highly political and critical which I love, and even though Sabastian Bach is no more, the band were still just as awesome.

Is Bali ready for larger acts, and can it really become a tour stop for bigger named bands and artists? Bali really doesn’t have a venue big enough for larger scale bands, that’s why Metallica although they visited the island when they were on tour, only played in Jakarta. The exceptions to the rule are few and far between, namely Snoop Dog who played at Potato head, Jason Mraz who held a concert at Taman Bhagawan in Nusa dua , and various international DJ’s who frequent Sky Garden, and are sometimes found doing one off gigs on the Uluwatu peninsula. Tiesto has been to Bali on many occasions; DJ gigs are easier to set up, and can easily be placed on a beach. Large scale rock concerts on the other hand require a venue. If Bali had a larger arena capable of holding concerts for stadium bands, then I am certain that it would become a contender in the tour circuit, and see many larger bands taking an interest and coming here as well as playing in Jakarta.

GREENSPEAK by Ibu Kat

LOSING THE PLOT IN PARADISE

Warning: this article contains straight talk about dementia and death in Bali’s expat community. If you’re in denial that we’re all aging, that some of us are going to lose the plot and all of us are going to expire, you’d better skip to the Crossword Puzzle right now. More and more retirees move to Bali every day with the intention of staying here til the end. Some of us will develop dementia. Statistically, the incidence of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is rising fast everywhere because we’re living longer. In the United States over ¿ve million people have AD, in Australia about 320,000 and the United Kingdom 820,000. One in 20 Canadians over age 65 is affected by AD. This is not just a disease for westerners. There were 9.19 million people with dementia in China in 2010, up from 3.68 million people in 1990. Worldwide, it’s estimated that about 44 million people suffer from Alzheimer’s and that will double by 2050.

trainers helped immensely by giving me badly needed respite time. Soon Nano and Ketut were sleeping in the house with Bob while I slept in a little room I’d built in the garden.” As the disease progressed and managing Bob became more challenging, the caregivers spent more time with him. They soon invented what they called ‘tricks’ to keep Bob from harm. Becoming masters of redirecting, they would call after Bob who was about to go walkabout, “Bob, there’s a cookie for you in the kitchen.” He’d turn around, torn between the urge to go ‘somewhere’ and satisfying his sweet tooth. By the time he got back to the house he’d forgotten about both his journey and the cookie.

They would like to continue care giving, and we can’t afford to lose these guys. We’re going to need them

So some of us living here are de¿nitely headed in that direction.

And when a foreigner does fall off the perch, pop his clogs or whatever you call it at your house, call Pak Agus at Antar Bangsa at 0811393196. He will look after everything ef¿ciently and compassionately, whether you decide on a local cremation, burial or repatriation. See my article The Geography of Loss http://www.baliadvertiser.biz/articles/ greenspeak/2012/geography.html for a list of the paperwork that will be required.

Alzheimer’s is an irreversible, progressive brain disease with symptoms that include memory loss, mood changes, problems with communication and reasoning and other issues. About 62% of dementia is caused by AD, the balance being mostly vascular dementia (VD) or a mixture of AD and VD.One in three seniors in the west die with dementia. There’s no single test that can show whether a person has Alzheimer’s. While physicians can almost always determine if a person has dementia, it may be dif¿cult to determine the exact cause. Diagnosing Alzheimer’s requires careful medical evaluation. Both early onset AD and late onset AD (after 60) have a genetic component. A person with a direct relative (parent or sibling) with AD has a three times greater chance of developing the disease than someone who does not. The risk increases further if both parents have the disease. Scientists have found genes that can raise people’s risk of developing the disease, but they’re also looking for other factors that determine who gets the disease and who doesn’t. Some studies indicate that people with high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels are at increased risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Twice as many women get AD as men. Most researchers no longer regard aluminum as a risk factor for Alzheimer’s Disease. Lifestyle plays a part; it’s estimated that up to half the cases of AD may be the result of seven key modi¿able risk factors: diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, depression, cognitive inactivity/low educational attainment, and physical inactivity.

With Alzheimer’s the person can’t articulate what they feel or where they are. The carers learned to see the signs when Bob needed the bathroom and would get him there before it was too late. They learned how to talk with Bob and draw him out using memories from his childhood.

Whatever causes it, it’s pointless to obsess about whether you’re going to get it or not. Yes, we all forget where we put our keys and the names of people we rarely see, but that’s considered normal aging. AD symptoms include memory loss that disrupts daily life, struggling to follow conversations or work with numbers, repeating oneself, trouble reasoning, anxiety, depression, paranoia, getting lost in familiar environments, a declining ability to read, write or speak… check it all out on the Alzheimer’s Society website http://www.alz.org

I asked whether she thought we were better off staying in Bali or returning to our own countries if we developed AD. “It’s an individual decision,” Susan said. “I checked out one place in the US and decided I couldn’t do that to him. It was very nice but the con¿nement, routine and limited outings would have made him even crazier. In Ubud he had a great life.”

“After eight years of caring for Bob, I needed help. With assistance from the Bali Advertiser I not only found two caregivers, Nano and Ketut, but two Australian experts in the ¿eld to train us all. This was a godsend. The caregivers and

Balinese doctors are more comfortable when foreigners die in a hospital. If we choose to die at home, that decision needs to be discussed in advance. When a foreigner dies at home here, it can be a big deal. The police usually come and the grieving survivors may be grilled for hours. If a foreigner is likely to die at home, let your banjar and consulate know. Medical insurance for expats is not optional. If you don’t think you can afford it, then you can’t afford to live here. Australia may be only a few hours away, but no commercial airline is going to take you as a regular passenger if you’re in serious medical or mental condition. You’re looking at a very expensive medical evacuation.

Caring for an Alzheimer’s patient is not for the faint of heart.

I interviewed Susan, who has lived in Bali with her husband Bob for 25 years. About 14 years ago he began to show symptoms of AD, which had killed his mother and aunt. Susan watched her beloved husband slip away from her day by day over the years. “First I noticed that he was getting lost while driving to familiar places. We travelled a lot, and when he packed his bag it would be full of shoes -- no shirts. He became angry and frustrated.” Then he started hiding things, wandering off and behaving inappropriately. He required constant monitoring. Caring for an Alzheimer’s patient is not for the faint of heart.

Gerontology and dementia are not much studied in medical schools in Bali. At the beginning of Bob’s journey with Alzheimer’s, the doctors and nurses at Toya Clinic in Ubud had no idea how to manage him. Neither did Susan. Over the years, they learned together.

“Bob was becoming increasingly disruptive at our home-based business. Miraculously a small cottage became available and the caregivers agreed to try and look after him full time. They hired two other men who they trained and soon we had a team of four dedicated carers. Bob had a dog, a garden and his buddies. They took him on drives to the beach, on walks in the rice paddies, to the gym, for strolls in the village and to meet me for dinners in town. I sent over his favourite foods every day. For someone with severe dementia who couldn’t be left alone, he was very happy.”

About a year ago Bob’s disease went into its ¿nal stages. Now the care givers had to deal with total incontinence. When Bob could no longer walk they lifted and shifted him to avoid bed sores. They spoon-fed him, wheeled him through the village or lifted him into the car for rides so he wouldn’t be bored. “Bob died in March after fourteen years of this terrible disease,” Susan told me. “I’m so grateful to these men who became his friends and made it possible for him to stay in his beloved Bali and not be stuck in an institution far from me. Because he was close by, I could oversee his care. I can vouch for the carers’ abilities. They are not nurses but they’re very good caregivers. And whenever we needed medical services, Toyo Clinic in Ubud made house calls or sent their ambulance. It was a team effort to give Bob the best life he could have with Alzheimer’s. Bob always knew who I was and always kept his sense of humor. He even waited until I returned from a business trip so I could say good-bye before leaving us three days later.”

Bob’s carers are now working as drivers and gardeners, which seems like an enormous waste of skill. Two of them also have experience providing compassionate home care to patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, and people immobilized by illness or surgery. Three of them can drive and they all speak some English. They would like to continue care giving, and we can’t afford to lose these guys. We’re going to need them. For more information about the care givers or to get their contact information, please call Susan at 08123669334. Watching a loved slip away from you is terribly hard.

14 May - 28 May, 2014

Update The Dining Room in Candi Dasa has had a menu makeover by Bali’s Galloping Chef,

the food consultant Roland Lickert. Some of the old Mediterranean dishes made the cut but most are new and interesting, and all very different for Candi Dasa or anywhere else outside of Bali’s south. A Sweet Potato & Corn Chowder, or a Clam-Scallop Chowder [creamy seafood soup with clams & scallops, potatoes, dill, shallots & cream]. Seafood entrées of BBQ Octopus, grilled octopus served on a potato dill comfit & red paprika chutney, splashed with herbed white wine butter sauce and Sauteed Garlic Prawns, olive oil sautéed prawns, served on a tomato-feta cheese salsa and topped with Tzatziki, a yoghurt based dip with olive oil, garlic, dill & lemon. Interesting Moroccan Tajines, one a chicken broth with chicken cubes, carrots, baby eggplant, spinach, olives, potatoes, zucchini, dried apricots, raisons, apples, pine seeds & Ras el hanout spice, the other a lamb tajine, a bit spicy, broiled with vegetable broth, tomatoes, chilli, onions, white beans, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, spinach and Ras el hanout spice, almonds & boiled egg. Mains include Chicken Scallopine with Sage, a fillet of chicken, seasoned with clove, pepper & garlic, layered with sage, red pepper and ricotta cheese, rolled & cooked in herbed tomato sauce, served with mixed vegetables, potatoes and grated with Mozzarella cheese, and Grilled Butterfish, just sprinkled with lemon juice to keep its original flavor and grilled over charcoal, served with mixed vegetables and olive rice [pictured]. The Dining Rood has always been one of the very few restaurants in Bali [sadly] that designate all dishes that are either Nut Free or Wheat Free.

Urchin is new on Jln. Laksmana, once titled Eat Street by me 14 years ago and ever since called so by many. It is front of the new Colony Hotel. Urchin heralds the Bali appearance of yet another young Aussie chef, Steven Skelly, formerly found in the kitchens at Sydney’s famous Pier restaurant, and before that at Fishface. Not impressed with how seafood in general is handled in Bali [I really agree with that, too often I am presented with perfect fish that has been overcooked till dry or worse still soggy from poor defrosting technique] they attempt to present it perfectly cooked, wonderful!. The menu is a little Mod Oz with items such as seared tuna with kombu broth, bread-crusted hamachi, ocean trout carpaccio, sushi sashimi combo and salmon pastrami. Another face from Sydney, Kathy Willmott previously at another famous Sydney restaurant, Quay, runs the floor. Very professional! A quality seafood restaurant that leaves those grills on the beach for dead! Zen Sushi Bar is found on the narrow Jln Drupadi, as it snakes around towards Seminyak. It serves sushi, sushi and more sushi. Traditional and modern [green dragon, rainbow rolls, salmon and avocado, etc]. Yes they do other than Sushi with normal Japanese entrée Gyoza, and mains including Teriyaki [chicken and beef]. MamaSan is now open for Sunday lunch, Dim Sum Sundays. Dumplings, steam buns and other small serves plus an interesting list of larger plates, all perfect to be shared. Pickled cucumber with chilli & Sichuan pepper, Water spinach salad with sesame seed & black vinegar dressing, Steamed tofu with pickled mustard greens & salted radish, Steam prawn har gow, Fried pakbao with minced chicken cloud ear mushroom & bamboo shoot, Char Sui pork steamed buns, Steamed chicken & cloud ear mushroom wrapped in beancurd, X.O. radish cake with shrimp and Chinese sausage, Then there are those dumplings from Beijing steamed and stuffed with snapper, chilli and black bean oil, all the taste inside it explodes in your mouth! Interesting small dishes include Steamed pork ribs with ginger & garlic, Scramble eggs & prawn in light oyster and tamarind sauce, Open steam buns with crispy cumin lamb kim chi & yoghurt, Drunken chicken with Ginger shallot black bean, Crab dumpling with chilli hot bean dressing, Braised lamb rib with ginger & black bean or crispy salt bush lamb ribs with ginger coriander. Larger plates include half roasted peking duck with hosin pickled ginger, Chinese style roasted pork belly, Half roasted chicken with chilli & black vinegar, Stir fried Singaporean chilli prawns with fried mantou, Kung pao chicken with capsicum cashew nuts sichuan pepper & dried chilli, Stir fry pork & prawn with Hokkien noodles chilli beans sprouts and green shallots Chow mein noodle with duck tofu bean sprouts bok choy chilli & red capsicum, Braised beef with shanghai noodles pickled mustard greens Stir fried kwey teow with beef gailan & bean sprouts, Red braised pork belly with steamed bok choy & caramelized egg. All so good it would take many visits to try it all, what a nice way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Tebasari has just opened In Lod Tundah, just before what was to be a new Westin Hotel. It is so Balinese, long narrow wantilan on split level leading down to 6 thatch roofed Bales with traditional lesehan seating, standing over water, all with open views across the rice paddies, it was a big surprise to discover a modern western menu [plus local dishes of course], but no surprise to then discover that the chef is ex 5 star hotel. Prawn-BBQ Pork Salad with mango, coconut, peanuts and lime chilli dressing. You can have an Aubergine Soup or a Laksa with prawns, galangal, cardamom with salmon nori fritter, black ink noodles and salmon roe. Ravioli stuffed with duck confit is served in bacon and mushroom sauce, also lamb chops, beef medallions and crispy red snapper. Finish with a Pandan Brulee.

Puri Ulam has replaced Virgin Duck on Jln. Puputan, in Renon. What a contrast! Virgin Duck was once very popular, featuring many dishes with duck [pasta and pizzas included], in fact Virgin Duck was our Best Cheap Eat discovery of a few years back. Now a major renovation, modern but extremely simple and one of the smallest menus I have ever seen. The soup is corn, a sandwich snack surprises as the toast triangles are stuffed with chocolate or strawberry!

Taman Nusa: Express Indonesia Our mission today is to see Indonesia in a day, a dream that can be achieved at least in the imagination by walking through 15 ha of land surrounded by forests in an amazing cultural preservation project called Taman Nusa. As we entered the town of Gianyar, the capital of the regency by the same name, the town was celebrating its 243rd anniversary. The main street was festooned with gailydecorated penjor poles drooping overhead. Just outside Gianyar, about a kilometer past the road north to Ubud, we hesitatingly took a left. But any doubt that we were on the right road was dispelled as soon as three big lumbering chartered buses packed with school kids forced us to temporarily park on the side of the narrow country road. The pride of Gianyar regency, only one hour from Denpasar, Taman Nusa is one of Bali’s newest (opened 2013) and most ambitious cultural attractions, its exhibits, artifacts and “actors” in ethnic dress constituting a living museum. The winding road ended in a near empty parking lot, from where it was a short walk to a spacious foyer, a touch of modernity that makes the visitor feel at ease. The anniversary had drawn off hundreds of visitors to the culture park on this quiet Saturday morning, and we had the park almost to ourselves. The weather was on our side for a walk in a park, cool and pleasant with no rain and overcast clouds. Beyond the g r a d u a l l y descending walkway I could make out a totally natural forest. Symbolism is at every turn in a d i v e r s e introduction to the architectural riches of the Indonesian archipelago. The ¿rst building, Daun Sirih, is in the form of a betelnut leaf, for millennia a symbol of greeting, friendship and mediation in nearly every traditional culture of Indonesia. In the hall beneath the restaurant is a collection of universal icons found in the archipelago –a batik display, a Rotinese rattan hat, a model of a pinisi wooden sailing schooner, fearsome tribal sculpture, wayang kulit shadow puppets and a huge Barong dragon, as well as a scale model of the whole park - an instant introduction to Indonesian culture. A Family Project Taman Nusa is owned and operated by one family who has dedicated themselves and their personal collections to make the park a success. The project is the inspiration and passion of Pak Santoso Senangsyah, the pater families of this extended clan. His mission was to introduce the country’s rainbow of cultures to the people of Bali and to visitors to the island. His reasoning behind the park’s commercial potential was simple. Since tourists are obviously interested in the culture of Bali, why wouldn’t they also be interested in the other cultures of the Indonesia? Pak Santoso’s son Robert, our host for the day and a jack-of-all-trades at the park, started working for his father in 2012 after he graduated from university in Australia. Two older sisters and another brother ¿ll marketing and sales positions. After Pak Santoso graduated with a degree in chemical engineering at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta in 1972, he made his fortune in the oil palm business in Jakarta where he lived and worked for more than 25 years. Robert told me that he believes those years his father spent studying in Yogya gave him his love and appreciation of the country’s culture and the overriding desire to preserve it. Pak Santoso has always had a soft spot for Bali, which he has visited since the 1970s. He started looking for land,

researching and locating houses and cultural artifacts seven years ago. Much of that time was spent acquiring land, always a prolonged and dif¿cult process in Indonesia. Though the park is now about 90% ¿nished, it is still “being perfected” as Pak Santoso puts it. Eighty percent of the park consists of traditional houses, most of them stilted, 15 of which are authentic – mostly Javanese joglo – that have been moved to the site. A Minahasa-style house of northern Sulawesi and a Palembang house were built from scratch here in the park. Some of these houses built from plans look even older than the real imported ones because the wood has been cleverly treated to make it look old. I asked Robert the obvious question, “What is the difference between Taman Nusa and Taman Mini in Jakarta? Taman Nusa, he explained, is a cultural journey through the different eras of Indonesian history from the prehistory (no. 14 on map) to the modern era (nos. 73 & 74). If a theme had to be assigned to Taman Nusa, it would be the evolution of the archipelago through time. During Taman Nusa’s organic seat-of-the-pants learn-by-doing construction, the family also had freer reign. They didn’t have to follow strict guidelines like they would’ve had they put up a high-end hotel. Yet another difference is that Taman Mini, at 1 sq. km, is much larger and you need a car to get around it. Taman Nusa, on the other hand, is walkable and has more of a village atmosphere. From Java Man to Proklamasi Kemerdekaan From the room of icons, we descended down a stairway to start our tour. Like the entrance to a theme park, the ¿rst “dwellings” were caves, the original habitation of the ¿rst humans to enter the archipelago 1.5 million years ago. The loud growling of prehistoric animals got the attention of our eight-year-old boy Dian, who of course pretended he wasn’t in the least scared. Next up was a realistic life-size replica of the real Borobudur temple. Made in the carving center of Muntilan of central Java, near the famous stupa, it took 90 trucks to transport the blocks to construct this model on Bali. Though this mini-Borobudur doesn’t have as many terraces or the sheer mass of the original, the panels of Buddha’s life have more de¿nition. The reproduction also pays faithful attention to such details as worn, uneven paving stones. Next were a surprising group of ¿ve Honai, the beehive-like huts of the Dani tribe of Papua in far eastern Indonesia, complete with ubi sweet potato patch and resident wood carver named Robert. Robert then led us underneath a Sumbanese house where two smiling girls from Waingapu were weaving ikat on breast looms. Further on, nearing the main Sunda Islands of western Indonesia was an old-style Balinese traditional home compound with open hearth and bamboo walls based on a traditional house from the Penglipuran area. Crossing a bridge, we were suddenly in Kalimantan (Borneo) and were walking into a handsome Dayak house, its wall totally covered in extraordinary carving. On a rise on the right, a Dayak warrior guarded a longhouse. Some visitors blow through the park in two hours, but others stop at every house and spend six hours. One attraction that gives visitors ample cause to linger are performances by musical groups (sanggar) that break into melody at various points along the way as visitors approach. We paused in front of a kolintang band from northern Sulawesi and were invited to play one of the xylophonic instruments. Other sanggar that held our rapt and delighted attention were a tinkling angklung bamboo orchestra from West Java and a mesmerizing tari piring (dish dance) from Sumatra. Continuing further west through the archipelago, in the back

of the park sat a beautiful traditional Minangkabau rumah gadang, moved timber by timber from a remote village outside of Bukittinggi in West Sumatra. The elaborate setting for a Minang wedding inside made this swooped-roof dwelling the best liked of all the park’s structures. A little ways further up the path, huge houses from the Nias Island could only be entered through a hole in Àoor in the middle, shut up tight in case of enemy attack. We had now walked the length of the park on its northern side and started to head back along the southern row of houses towards the entrance Java has the oldest and most complex history of all the islands, and their traditional technology reÀects this re¿nement. In the shade of a Javanese house, a woman was weaving on a loom that was far more elaborate and sophisticated than those used in the eastern islands. Next we came upon another of Indonesia’s historic icons, a miniaturized reproduction of the orange Dutch-era Kota Station of Jakarta built in the style of colonial tropical architecture. “This station and the model trains and dioramas inside represent the interconnectedness of Indonesia,” Pak Santoso said. “Just as a rail network links all the main cities, the archipelago will always be united.” “Many think that culture is low-class, antiquated, uninteresting and even dangerous but you can’t forget your culture,” he explained solemnly and s i n c e r e l y. “ I w a n t t o reawaken in my people the revolutionary spirit of the independence struggle of 70 years ago.” It seems to be working: 95% of all the park’s visitors are domestic tourists, 30% of whom are schoolchildren on field trips. Our last stop was the three-floor museum occupying a commanding site overlooking the Melangit River from where you can see terraced ride paddies across the valley and sometimes rafters below. Consisting of three different collections – ethnographic, traditional puppets and textiles – on occasion the museum holds international exhibits. The whole Senangsyah family was involved in putting this exquisite and unusual collection of textiles and artifacts together, many pieces taken from their own personal collections. Only 60% of which are displayed. Robert saw us back to the lobby where the family was gathered at the end of day. Each in turn animatedly began telling stories of the park’s development, the vicissitudes and triumphs that each went through over the years as all the elements of the complex began to take shape and grow out of the jungle. Leaving, the last thing Pak Santoso told me was, “With this park, we want to ignite people’s imagination, to encourage their dreams. We try!” Those pithy words seemed to encapsulate what this man is trying to do for his country with the realization of this inspiring project. Practicalities Taman Nusa, Jl.

Computer & Internet Bali PC Advisor by Pak Bruce

Your computer is running too slowly now

What to do when your computer is running slowly and driving you nuts! A friend emailed me: “I have a desktop computer with a 2.5GHz Pentium Dual Core CPU and 2GB of system memory. I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium. The computer occasionally slows down to a crawl. I think Outlook 2007 or IE — or both — might be involved. Rebooting solves the problem, but I have to reboot every few days. Sometimes I get the rotating ring with IE. Clicking the red X doesn’t close the window, and I resort to a forced close using Task Manager. I run Microsoft Security Essentials and occasionally things like Malwarebytes and Ad-Aware. But they rarely find anything except cookies.” His email caught my eye because it’s a nearly universal problem — almost everyone experiences unexplained PC slowdowns from time to time. When a slowdown follows a clear pattern, it’s usually not too difficult to figure out cause and effect. But slowdowns that occur only occasionally — or have no clear pattern — are much tougher to track down. Finding the culprit in my friend’s PC would be interesting! The first step is always do a thorough tune-up.

Junk files aren’t harmless. They occupy space and require servicing by the operating system — which tracks and indexes them, defrags them and backs them up, and more. Removing junk files reduces the operating system’s overall filemanagement burden and can improve performance. To get the junk files off his system I had him use the enhanced mode of Windows Disk Cleanup plus the free version of CCleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner) He then reduced the size of the system’s default recycle bin, Internet Explorer’s temp-files storage, and the System Restore area — three notorious space hogs whose voluminous contents can cause a system to bog down. Look here: http://www. leeindy.com/reclaimspace_recyclebin.shtml When he was done, Windows had about 1.4GB less of files to keep track of — a nontrivial amount, for sure!

ENHANCE & PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

My friend’s system had plenty of empty space on the hard drive, so there was no reason to constrain the pagefile that way. We reset the system to let Windows automatically manage pagefile size. As the cited TechNet page states, it’s easy to do — via the Windows Control Panel or this handy, undocumented shortcut:

CONSISTENTLY SERVING CLIENTS SINCE 2002 C/Ci/I-02 Oct 13

• Step 1. Click Start and type systempropertiesadvanced (with no spaces) into the Search programs and files box. Then press Enter. • Step 2. Double click on the application listed. Under the Advanced tab, click the Settings button in the Performance section. • Step 3. In the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab. • Step 4. In the Virtual Memory section, click Change. Then, tick the box to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives His virtual memory system now had some additional elbow room. We hoped that would be enough to improve memory-use performance and prevent slowdowns. A few more tweaks, cleanups, and tunings C/CI/G-4 Sept. 13

Next, we stepped through his software and — via Window’s Uninstall or change a program applet — uninstalled several pieces of old software that he no longer used. We ran Windows Update, then installed and ran Secunia’s free Personal Software Inspector (PSI) (http://secunia.com/ vulnerability_scanning/personal/) to make sure all his software was current. At that point, the day was drawing to a close. We set his system to defrag itself (MS defrag Help), and I left feeling confident that cleaning and tuning his system — especially loosening the constraints on the pagefile — would at least ameliorate the occasional slowdowns his system experienced. Follow-up: One more thing to do — an upgrade A week or so later, he wrote to tell me: • “Things seem pretty normal, except it’s taking longer than expected to start new programs. But there are none of the long waits for webpages in IE that sometimes used to happen.” He and I discussed the new-programs, slow-start issue. I suspected it was related to limited system RAM. Each time he loaded an additional program, data and code would have to be swapped out of RAM to make room. Increasing the size of his pagefile meant his virtual-memory system was working as well as possible; the only way to reduce overall dependence on virtual memory is to increase the physical system RAM.

C/Ci/I-30 April 14

I recommended that he flesh out his system to 4GB, which is the maximum amount of RAM that 32-bit systems, like his, can access. He wrote back: • “I took your recommendation and did buy some memory. I am running quite well now, and I’m using your CCleaner and Windows Disk Cleanup routines regularly. Thanks again for your help!” Some of the important takeaway lessons There are three key points that came from this: • Cleanups work. Regular use of cleanup techniques, as discussed, will help keep your system junk-free and running lean. • The Win7 defaults are mostly good. In fact, in the case of pagefile sizes, letting Windows manage things almost always yields better results than manual tweaks. • RAM still matters. If you have a 1–2GB Win7 system, consider investing in another gig or two of RAM. At the time of this writing, a 2GB stick of RAM is in the neighborhood of U.S. $10-30. It’s money well spent!

Local News 36 Bali Bombers Now Walk Free All 36 Indonesian terrorists who were sentenced to anything less than life for their parts in the 2002 and 2005 bar and restaurant attacks, which killed a further 130 victims, are now free. Up to 100 more terrorists convicted for other attacks on local and western interests in Indonesia will be freed in the coming year, according to a leading expert. Only five men from the two Bali attacks remain behind bars on life sentences. Indonesia’s Justice and Human Rights Ministry said they were not entitled to remission or clemency. Close to 50 people, most of them members of hate group Jemaah Islamiyah, were involved in planning and executing the 2002 Bali attacks. Most served sentences ranging six years or less to 18 years. They include the men who recruited the suicide bombers, drove bomb-laden vehicles or built suicide bomb vests, to plotters, financiers and others who sheltered the world’s most-wanted terrorists. “It’s an emotional thing to hear,” said Phil Britten, who was inside the Sari Club with mates from Perth’s Kingsley Football Club when the bomb exploded. Britten lost his front teeth, 60 per cent of his skin to burns, and a lot of friends.

“They’re probably still happy with what happened.” Zulkarnaen, aged 50, remains the only major player unaccounted for over Bali 2002. The US Department of State accuses Zulkarnaen of a senior role in the 2003 Marriott bombing, that killed 12 people, and of helping make the 2002 Bali bombs. Considered to be the highest-ranking South-East Asian member of JI after Hambali, and having direct lines to al Qaeda, the only image of Zulkarnaen is a faded black and white headshot. There is a $5 million reward for Hambali’s capture. Most of those involved in the Marriott hotel bombing, in which Australians were targeted but not killed, have also been freed. Two men who served short sentences over the 2004 Australian Embassy bombing in Jakarta were also freed and reportedly returned to terrorism. Jakarta-based terror expert Solahudin said more terrorists who were involved in a range of strikes against Indonesian and western interests would be freed in coming months after serving relatively short sentences. “In my assessment maybe this year and next year about 50 to 100 will be released,” said Solahudin. “Some of them are quite senior figures. We should be concerned.”

“It definitely sucks when someone who was involved in killing people, including seven of my friends, and injuring me so badly, is out there.

He said that although terror strikes had increased in the last four years in Indonesia, most had been ineffective because most Indonesian jihadists were currently fighting in Syria.

“They are all to blame. So many people who were involved in Bali are still feeling it now. “I know dads who have lost their sons. We’ve still got the memories and pain of what was. Yet these guys can get on with their lives.

Indonesia’s counterterrorism squad, Densus 88, funded by the US and Australia in the aftermath of 2002, has gunned down up to 80 terrorists since 2003 and has made more than 800 arrests. (May 2nd 2014)

Jakarta International School Student Rape Spotlights Abuse in Indonesia A case of sexual abuse at a prestigious international school in Jakarta has been making waves in Indonesia - a country where discussing sex, and sex abuse, has long been taboo.

He said the school is taking great lengths to prevent a repeat occurrence. Incidents of child sex abuse are frequently reported in the Indonesia press, but they rarely generate the media attention this case has attracted.

The rape of a six-year-old kindergarten student by janitorial staff at the Jakarta International School has attracted widespread media attention in Indonesia.

Also this week, a police officer in the North Sumatran province Aceh stands accused of raping five children. In neighboring Medan province, a father has been accused of molesting his 18-month-old daughter.

The school is an elite, expensive institution where many diplomats and affluent expatriates choose to send their children. Allegations of abuse that first emerged earlier this month have been followed by more claims, indicating the incident was not isolated. This week another young student said he was also abused at the school. The education ministry ordered the kindergarten closed, saying it lacks an official permit. In a separate case, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has revealed that a former American teacher at the school, William James Vahey, is allegedly one of the worst child sex offenders they have ever identified.

The number of reported rape cases is on the rise. But child psychologist Seto Mulyadi said these represent only a small percentage of sexual violations committed. Of the 3,000 cases of child abuse reported, 60 percent of those are cases of sexual violence. However, Mulyadi said, many cases are never reported. Last year the Child Protection Commission declared child rape a “national emergency,” but without reliable statistics it is difficult to quantify the true extent of the problem. Cases often are not reported because victims are afraid to come forward, fearing they will cause embarrassment to their family or community. In 2012 a student who was raped in Java was expelled for ‘bringing shame’ on her school.

Vahey, who worked at the Jakarta school from 1992 until 2002, committed suicide in Minnesota last month after the FBI obtained his flash drive, which contained 90 pornographic photographs of young men he had allegedly molested.

At the government level, religious lawmakers have continued to block moves to implement mandatory sex education in schools, arguing it will only encourage young people to have “free sex.”

Speaking at a forum on child protection Thursday, Tim Carr, who heads the Jakarta International School, described the recent incident of rape at the school as an unimaginable tragedy.

Talking about sex and sexual abuse is still considered taboo by a large part of Indonesian society. Under current laws, sex offenders in Indonesia face a maximum sentence of 15 years in jail. (April 25th 2014)

Indonesia Aims to be Among the Top Ten Peacekeeping Contributors Indonesia aims to become one of the top ten contributors of personnel to the UN peacekeeping force, asserted President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. “Indonesia is now ranked 17th with 1,815 personnel,” he stated here on Wednesday (30/4). Most of the Indonesian peacekeepers are currently serving under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The President believes that Indonesia can soon achieve the target of being one of the top ten contributors of personnel to the UN peacekeeping force. To achieve the target, Indonesia must send more than four thousand personnel to serve under the UN peacekeeping forces, he explained. Indonesia is among the 120 countries, which are providing nearly 120 thousand peacekeepers worldwide. The country firstly contributed peacekeepers to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in 1956, and has since then sent more than 25 thousand personnel to various conflict areas, such as Bosnia, Cambodia, and Somalia. (April 30th 2014) Bali Hijack Scare: Australian to Face Brisbane Court in June An Australian man who sparked a hijacking scare on a flight to Bali will face court in June. Australian federal police have issued Matt Christopher Lockley with a notice to appear in the Brisbane magistrate’s court on 6 June. He is expected to be charged with interfering with a crewmember. Police will allege Lockley, 28, had to be restrained by crew on Virgin Australia flight from Brisbane on Friday (25/4). It is also alleged he banged on the cockpit door, causing pilots to trigger an “unlawful interference” alert that put the Indonesian air force and police on notice for a hijacker on arrival. Lockley was arrested when he got off the plane in Bali, but was released by Indonesian authorities without charge on Sunday night. The plumber from northern New South Wales flew home on a Virgin Australia flight on Monday. He was met by AFP officers at Brisbane Airport on Tuesday morning. (April 29th 2014) Scared Kiwi Awaits Her Fate A Kiwi woman detained in Bali after a drug raid is “doing it tough” and is relying on her family to keep her fed, clothed and healthy while she waits for her day in court. Leeza Tracey Ormsby, 37, was arrested in Bali on February 12 after police found a large quantity of drugs at a villa where she had been staying. Sydney-based Ormsby went to the villa north of Kuta beach to pick up her laptop and clothing and police were waiting for her. They found MDMA and methamphetamine at the house and a joint of cannabis in Ormsby’s bag. She has admitted the joint was hers, but denies she had anything to do with the harder drugs. Speaking publicly for the first time, her mother, Rangi Morrison, told the Herald that Ormsby had been set up. She believed that straight after she bought the cannabis, the seller tipped off police. “They got her straight away. When she got to the villa, they just swamped her,” said Mrs Morrison, who lives in Western Australia. She has not been able to speak to her daughter since her arrest. Ormsby’s siblings have taken turns traveling to Bali to see her at the Denpasar City police station, where she is sharing a tiny cell with another woman. Visits are short and take place only on Wednesdays and Fridays. Ormsby is not allowed to use the phone and her mother has been too ill to make the trip. “It’s terrible ... not being able to talk to her, talk about how she feels,” Mrs. Morrison said. “It’s just cruel.” (May 5th 2014)

Child Dies From Alleged Sexual Assault by Pedophile An 11-year old boy (U.S.) died at his home in Citamiang, West Java in February from an alleged sexual assault by a pedophile named Emon, who was arrested recently for serial sexual abuse, the victims aunt (Ya) said. “When the boy came home from a trip to Citamiang hot spring the boy complained his bottom part was hurt. A few days later the child could not go to the toilet, his body temperature was also rising. We took him to the hospital for a few days but decided to take alternative medication due to lack of money to pay the hospital,” Ya said here on Sunday (4/5). According to Ya, she had reported the case to the local police and hoped that the police would investigate it. Emon a citizen of Citamiang Subdistrict, West Java has allegedly assaulted 51 young boys in his neighborhood. The Sukabumi district police are still investigating the case including gaining evidence from the victims. (May 4th 2014) Bill Gates Considering Plan to Build Nuclear Reactor in Indonesia President of PT Batan Tekno, Mr. Yudiutomo Imardjoko said he had forwarded a proposition to Terra Power, to build a nuclear reactor in cooperation with PT Batan Tekno. Terra Power is owned by the Microsoft founder Bill Gates, The fourth generation nuclear reactor uses the technology of a Traveling Wave Reactor with that capacity to generate 500 megawatts of power per reactor, Yudiutomo said at a seminar on Indonesia Green Infrastructure Summit 2014, here on Tuesday (29/4). “The reactor is safe and fuel efficient, requiring replacement every 60 years. In the event of damage, the reactor has a cooling system to reduce the impact of the disaster,” he said. If Bill Gates or Terra Power decides to build the facility, the likeliest place would be Kalimantan, where demand for power is growing faster especially with many plans to build mineral smelters, he said. In addition Kalimantan is safer from natural disaster such as earthquake. (May 30th 2014)

Results Are Promising in Clinical Trial of Dengue Fever Vaccine The French pharmaceutical company Sanofi said on Monday (28/4) that its experimental vaccine for dengue fever had succeeded in its first late-stage clinical trial. The results could help pave the way for the introduction of the first vaccine to prevent a disease that afflicts an estimated 50 million to 100 million people a year. Sanofi said the vaccine reduced the incidence of dengue fever by 56 percent in a trial involving more than 10,000 children in Southeast Asia. Outside experts said they were hoping for even greater effectiveness, but some said the vaccine could still be useful. “I’m looking for something that could potentially do better than this,” said Dr. Robert Edelman, clinical professor of medicine and pediatrics at the University of Maryland. He said ideally a vaccine would be 80 percent effective, which would not only protect vaccinated individuals but also reduce transmission to unvaccinated people. But Duane J. Gubler, a dengue expert at the Duke-NUS Graduate School of Medicine in Singapore, called the results “very encouraging.” A spokesman for Sanofi said that since there was no vaccine now, Sanofi’s product might be welcomed by many countries and help many people. “Fifty-six percent has to be compared to zero today,” said the spokesman, Alain Bernal.

Australian PM Cancels Bali Meeting Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Saturday (3/5) cancelled a trip to Indonesia amid reports that an asylum seeker turn-back operation was underway that could renew tensions between the neighbors. Abbott’s office confirmed he no longer intended to travel to Bali on Tuesday for a meeting with Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono but declined to go into the reasons for putting

Malaria Remains Endemic in Five Indonesian Provinces According to the World Health Organization, malaria remains one of the world’s biggest health challenges that has killed more than 600 thousand people in 2012. April 25 has been named as World Malaria Day, to remind the public and the world that malaria is both preventable and curable. Malaria is a major public health problem in most tropical countries, including Indonesia with five of its provinces still having high cases of this deadly disease. Hundreds of people in the province of Papua, West Papua, East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and North Maluku are still at risk for malaria infection. In the province of Papua alone, around 42.6 of every thousand people have suffered from malaria. As part of the National Malaria Eradication Program, the Ministry of Health is determined to distribute 6.3 million mosquito nets in 2014 to prevent the spread of malaria by anopheles mosquitoes.

off the visit, which had been seen as a thawing of ties tested by recent rows over espionage and Australia’s controversial refugee policies. “The prime minister was hoping to attend the Open Government Partnership conference in Bali next week at the invitation of His Excellency President Yudhoyono. The prime minister is grateful for the invitation,” a spokesman for Abbott told AFP. “Unfortunately the prime minister is unable to attend at this time and he hopes to visit Indonesia to meet with the president at a mutually convenient time.” It would have been Abbott’s first trip to Indonesia since damaging revelations in November that Australian spies attempted in 2009 to tap the phones of Yudhoyono, his wife and other members of his inner circle. Jakarta reacted furiously to the news, recalling its ambassador and halting cooperation in key areas including defense and people smuggling. (May 4th 2014) NC/NV/U-19 Mar. 14

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) W e g r o w eggplants in our garden so there’s always the need for new tastes, but we’ve made this one often over the years. The cold left overs are delicious the next day and can be part of a composed salad. They are also great in a sandwich with grilled veggies or BBQ Tempe (see the March 19th issue) and your favorite cheese melted over all.

Garlic Eggplant with Black Bean Sauce Serves 4 Ingredients : -

500 gr. purple Asian eggplants (the long ones) 1/4 cup canola oil or rice bran oil 4 cloves garlic, ¿nely chopped 4 cm ginger, grated 2 yellow onions, ¿nely chopped 1/3-1/2 cup soup stock or water 2 tsp. bottled black bean sauce (from the supermarket Chinese food section) 2 Tbl. Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbl. soy sauce 2 tsp. bottled ¿sh sauce (if you are vegan you can substitute with more soy sauce) 2 Tbl. chives, cut on the diagonal 0.5 cm long

Directions: Wash and dry the eggplants and cut on the diagonal into 1 cm thick slices. Brush both sides of the slices with oil. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and fry the eggplant slices until browned on both sides and just done. If you cook them too long they’ll break apart. Remove them from the pan and set aside. Turn the heat up, adding the remaining oil, garlic, ginger, chopped onions and a bit of the soup stock. Stir well and cover the pan letting it simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the remainder of the 1/3 cup of soup stock, the black bean sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and ¿sh sauce. If it’s too dry add a bit more soup stock or water. Bring this to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. You want the sauce to be saucy so it will coat the eggplant slices but not soupy. Add the browned eggplant slices and gently toss with the sauce to heat through. Try not to break them up. Arrange on a serving plate and sprinkle with the chopped chives. Chiah khì ! - That’s Taiwanese for ‘Eat Up!’

CRICKET NEWS Bali International Twenty20 Cricket Cup. (BIT20CC)

Once again it is time for the annual Bali international Twenty20 Cricket Cup to be held in the grounds of the Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel over the period 24th May to 1st June 2014. The welcome night will be held at the new bar, Kabar at the front of the Bali Garden Resort commencing at 7.00pm on Friday 23rd May 2014 with the games commencing on Saturday 24th with three games being played each day until Friday 30th May then semi finals will be held on Saturday 31st May with the team finishing in first place playing the team who finishes in 4th position and the teams finishing in 2nd and 3rd positions playing in the other semi final. The grand Final will then be held on Sunday 1st June between the two winners of the semi finals. This is the third annual BIT20CC and after only having four teams playing in the first two years, there will be 7 teams competing this year. Once again there will be two Balinese teams playing with five teams visiting from Western Australia. A couple of the teams coming from Western Australia will have a number of Balinese playing for them and with this happening it means they can have even more Balinese playing the game that they enjoy playing. The level of expertise that the Balinese display in their games is a revelation to the visitors, considering that cricket is not a traditional local sport. Tournament organizer John Stewart observes “We feel privileged to help organise the BIT20CC with Northern Suburbs Community Cricket Association and especially the Bali Sports Foundation. The manner in which the Balinese play the game is refreshing to watch and they display some rather exceptional skills fielding and a number of them also acquit themselves very well with the bat and ball. When visiting teams come to Bali and see locals playing the great game they all remark on the level of commitment and manner in which they can play and are amazed that they are so competitive. This years BIT20CC should have some interesting games played over the 9 days of competition and if any expats, locals or visitors would like to watch some games of competitive cricket in Bali then make your way over to The Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel’s soccer ground during the week of 24th May to 1st June and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.” John goes on “It is a credit to people such as Wayan Samuel, Wayan Suandi and other locals as well as expats who have

introduced cricket to the Island of the Gods and the Balinese. They have done the sport proud and we look forward to seeing them again during this years competition and Cup with some intriguing cricket sure to be played.”

Article

THE BODY WHISPERER It started with The Horse Whisperer book and movie. Then Dog Whisper TV show and recently the Cat Whisperer. We discovered that there are some very gifted people who have the capability to communicate with animals, the real Dr. Doolittles. Lately there’s been a video on you tube of a woman who talked to a black panther, proving that she knew what the panther had told her. Recently I met an amazing man who can do much more than just than communicate with animals, he can communicate with the bodies of horses, dogs, cats and even humans. Serena, our local horse whisperer has dubbed Neill Saunders The Body Whisperer. He is known as the Miracle Man in England, where he has been creating miracles on horses and humans for many years. Growing up on a farm with horses it was a natural progression from his training as a chiropractor to start applying his skills on his sister’s horses. He uses a gentle touch and intuition to diagnose the problems and alleviate pain in horses. He’s also been working on the horse owners after seeing they have some physical ailment and offered to help them too. 80% of his work in England is on horses. Neill told me a story about a horse in England that had been hit from behind by a car and progressively went lame in all four legs. The vet tried in vain everything he knew without success and ¿nally advised the owner to put the horse down. However, the owner loved his horse and was unwilling to give up on him. He called in a more holistic vet to see if he could help. The horse was beyond his skill to heal but he had heard of Neill Saunders and called him asking if he would come have a look. Neill agreed to drive the 300 miles to visit this horse and see what he could do. After examining the horse, Neill used his magic hands on the horse. Two months later the owner could ride his beloved horse again. A couple years ago Serena bought a beautiful horse named Miracle that she planned to train in high school level dressage movements. The six year old horse had come to her with some physical problems, which she was able to help, however, he remained stiff in one leg, which she couldn’t ¿nd a solution to. A blood test revealed he had thrombosis, making him unable to work, so she left him to rest for ten months without any exercise for fear he would get worse. But she was unwilling to give up on her steed and dreams of training and began some research on the Internet for an answer. On a holistic equine website she came across the name of Neill Saunders in England and called him convincing him to come to Bali. After arriving in Bali he cured her horse and began teaching her his techniques of healing to maintain the health of her own horses and the ones that she rescues. Serena also took Neill to work on her Jakarta clients’ horses with remarkable results. It wasn’t dif¿cult to talk Neill into returning to Bali again for a couple of weeks this year. This trip took him to work on some Gili Island ponies that had been rescued and planned to offer his services to the horse stables of Bali for horses which she knew could use his help to recover their health. However, not one of the stables responded asking for help. Instead, she told her friends about Neill asking if anyone needed some healing. I asked if he could help my Persian cat Freddy, who has had respiratory problems since he was a kitten. The vet said that he has allergies and has been treating the cat for years with medication when he starts wheezing and sneezing. However, after seven years the medication isn’t as effective anymore. It would be great to get Freddy off the drugs and breathe easily. Neill agreed to have a look at Freddy and see what he could do.

Within minutes of working on Freddy, Neill said that he doesn’t have allergies but his lungs and ribs weren’t aligned properly and that his spine was very constricted over this area. This was causing the breathing problems. With some gentle pressure he loosened up the repertory tract and began to move the ribs into alignment. Freddy is a very complacent cat and quietly lay still as he was worked on. Usually Neill can only work on a cat for ¿ve minutes before they get restless, but he said Freddy was the best cat he had ever worked on and could handle up to half an hour of work, looking very “stoned” at the end of the session. By the next day the cat was feeling better and breathing easier. My vet was amazed at his improvement on his next check-up. Miracle in Ubud While Neill and Serena were visiting they told me about Carine a friend of Serena’s, who had developed rheumatoid Before Treatment After Treatment arthritis from the age of twenty-¿ve and had become almost a cripple during the past two years, with dif¿culty in moving, picking things up and walking painfully more than ten meters. Her hands looked like withered twigs on the end of her wrists and her feet were also twisted out of shape. After one treatment with Neill, suddenly she felt free and could bend her body, pick up things and walk with ease. She was amazed at the difference in her body movements. A few days later she had a second treatment and got even more movement. Her hands were starting to straighten out too. On Saturday, to celebrate Carine’s miraculous recovery, Serena arranged salsa dance lessons for a group of friends in Ubud and talked me into coming to meet Carine. I had expected Carine to be elderly and was surprised that she’s only in her early forties. Carine was smiling and glowing with happiness at being able to dance again. She described her treatment from Neill as a miracle. A few days later Carine had a third treatment to achieve even more movement. Neill certainly made a huge difference in improving Carine’s life. My friend Leone had lower back pain for years and had learned to live with it after trying various treatments. But after one treatment with Neill the pain is gone. “It’s great to be out of pain at last.” she told me. Another Miracle in Bali The following day after Neill and Serena visited me and Freddy, I related my story about Neill to a good Russian friend who was visiting me. She knew about a Russian couple staying in Bali who had both broken their backs from a motorbike accident leaving the husband in a wheelchair. I suggested she contact them to ask if they would be interested to meet Neill. She did and the couple called Serena the following day. They had tried various treatments and seen numerous doctors and had given up hope of any help. Valentina had broken her spine seven years ago and had been

in constant pain since then especially sitting for more than half an hour. Doctors told her there was nothing they could do but just live with it. Year by year the pain got worse as her back became more unbalanced. For the last three months she couldn’t turn her head. After various trials and tribulations with healers in Bali, she no longer trusted anyone to work on her. Neill amazed her with his soft style of work, without any cracking of any joints or any sharp pain. She trusted him completely as he rebalanced her spine in just an hour’s session. After just one treatment the pain was gone and she could turn her head. Another miracle! She asked him how many times she would need to maintain this freedom from pain. Neill told her that she was now healed, that no further treatments were necessary. “My neck feels perfect from that time and its real magic and I have great appreciation for his work.” she said, “He is a beautiful, kind and amazing person”. Unfortunately Valentina’s husband has had ¿ve of his vertebra fused and has metal plates in his body. Because of the metal in his body, Neill wasn’t able to help him very much but did offer some relief. A Toa saying is “when the student is ready the teacher will appear”. I suppose the same can be said ‘when the seeker is ready the healer will appear’. “If you are looking for a therapist to solve your ailment then each one will be different even if they had been trained in the same class as one another. So if you as a client did not get the result from the one you tried then keep looking, follow friends recommendations and you may find the perfect therapist for you and your problem .” advises Neill. Neill explains what he does when he lays his hands on a body. “I want to say that my work is based on an understanding and a question of why is the body choosing to behave as it does? Why is that distortion to the structure there? For example, what is happening that makes the body adopt this way of function? It is often these body distortions that cause the pain that the person feels. The reasons behind the problem often don’t hurt. What I have experienced is that when the reason for the problem has been well identi¿ed and corrected all the body compensations correct them with no force required.” “I would also like to say that working in a team of people both conventional and complimentary can give insights into what is going on that is affecting the person’s health. Always, the more knowledge the better. Often when learning about a client’s medical history much is forgotten or edited out by the client as they don’t think it is relevant. I ¿nd at times there can be a gem of knowledge that ties many different symptoms to a cause, and that’s what I’m looking for.” He explains. He uses his intuition to guide his hands to organs, tissues and bones to gently ask the body to move into its natural position. The results are often miraculous. He truly has a gift.
