Diary by Mr. Robet

Dangerous Liaisons This 18th century French novel, by Choderlos de Laclos, is all about a decadent aristocrat who makes a wager with one of her lovers that he cannot seduce a highly desirable but virtuous woman. The story first appeared on the screen in 1988. Director Stephen Frears’ ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ was extremely successful, and it was to create definitive roles for Glenn Close and John Malkovich. In 1999, the story was to be revamped in director Roger Kumble’s ‘Cruel Intentions’. In this movie the plot was transferred to modern-day New York, and all of the high jinks were carried out by a pack of wealthy teenagers. Now, Laclos’ steamy story continues its screen journey, and it finds itself situated in Shanghai in the 1930s. If you have enjoyed either of this movie’s two predecessors, then you will love this sumptuous new Chinese production. The plot has been faithfully followed, though; some of the circumstances have been altered to fit its new location. This is a very lavish interpretation, brilliantly directed by Jin Ho-Hur, and beautifully portrayed by Ziyi Zhang, Jang Dong-Gun, and Cecilia Cheung.

little chance of winning, he can still pocket the $10.000 runner-up’s prize. This surprisingly good comedy comes from director Frank Coraci, and, it stars Kevin James, who is also surprisingly good as the wannabe fighter. A lot of the movie’s charm is to be found in some real-life Mixed Martial Arts fighters, who make guest appearances, and give the show much of its humor.

Life of Pi After a slow beginning, in which a lot of philosophizing about various religions takes place, this movie finally gets underway with the capsizing of a freighter in a violent storm. A zookeeper and his family were onboard this ship, as they were re-locating their animals from India to Canada. A young man called Pi, the son of the zookeeper, survives this shipwreck, and he finds himself adrift on the Pacific Ocean in a lifeboat. With Pi, for company, are a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Ang Lee’s screen version of Yann Martel’s best-selling novel becomes an impressive piece of film-making, while it explores the human need to fight for survival.

Virginia A mentally-disturbed woman fakes a pregnancy, and claims that she had an affair with a small-town sheriff, who is now running in a big Senate election.

Amour One morning, as an elderly pair of retired music teachers are having their breakfast, the wife suffers a mild stroke. Then, after unsuccessful heart surgery in hospital the wife is left partially paralyzed. On her return home, her husband is left with the daunting task of looking after her. Jean-Louis Trintignant was a very handsome and popular leading man during the French ‘New Wave’ cinema period. Now, at the ripe old age of 83, he gives a fantastic performance as the caring husband. Not to be outdone, veteran French stage star Emmanuelle Riva gives an equally impressive performance as the immobilized wife. French director Michael Haneke makes a very moving film which confronts the issues of human dignity and care and love in old age, while he also delicately raises questions concerning euthanasia.

The Dark Knight Rises Enough time has now passed, since the Denver massacre, which has given this movie a certain amount of notoriety, to be able to assess it for what it is. To be honest, this latest ‘Batman’ movie, by Christopher Nolan, is a bitter disappointment. At 2 hours and 45 minutes its length is not warranted by the script, which is very convoluted and protracted. Okay, occasionally the tedium is relieved by some excellent action sequences, but, this is not enough to maintain interest. However, the real fault with the movie is that it takes itself deadly seriously, and shows none of the sense of humor or spirit of adventure which was to be readily found in the earlier ‘Batman’ movies.

A Late Quartet When the leader of a classical string quartet discovers that he is suffering from the onset of Parkinson’s disease, he must announce his impending retirement. This leads to the emergence of many rivalries and jealousies long dormant in the group, as they try to resolve their immediate future. Director Yaron Zilberman creates a very interesting movie while investigating the artistic ego and temperament. The four musicians are well-played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener, and Mark Ivanir. Robot & Frank Set in the future, a retired cat-burglar is living alone in the country, and he starts to exhibit signs of dementia. His son, who lives far away, gives his father a robot to take care of him. However, to keep his mind active, the cat-burglar teaches the robot the tricks of the trade, and they set about robbing the home of their wealthy neighbor. Jake Schreier directs this light-hearted and delightful comedy, while, stage and screen star Frank Langella, at the age of 73, gives a superb performance in what is basically a one-man-show. Here Comes the Boom Money cut-backs at an American high school threaten the future of its music department.

Rhino Biss at Bali Safari and Marine Park. How does it feel to have an amorous, fully grown rhino climb onto your back with just one thing on his mind? A quiet whisper in the ear of Hima, the female rhinoceros at Bali Safari and Marine Park, evokes little more than a grin. Mating seems the most natural thing in the world, until it comes to the mighty rhinos living in captivity, when a little encouragement is required. The future of Bali Safari and Marine Park’s population of two white African rhinos, affectionately named Hima and Nelson was given a much-needed boost recently with the arrival of three eminent German specialists in the field of rhino and elephant fertilization. With a little human intervention and much needed encouragement however, it seems that Nelson has finally hit the sweet spot and now it is simply a matter of time to see whether Hima can look forward to the sound of little hooves. “ Rhinos are the only animals that learn how to mate by example. The only other mammals that do this are humans. The team of German vets who visited us, has been able to inseminate our female with sperm taken from the male, using equipment they have pioneered, and we also pulled out all the stops to encourage them to mate naturally,” explains Tim Husband, Head Curator at the park in Gianyar. German veterinarians Drs Thomas Hildebrandt, Robert Hermes and Frank Goeritz, are the world’s leading specialists in the field of pachyderm reproduction. When it comes to these thick-skinned mammals, weighing in at over a ton, the mating game is serious business. “ This is the first time this team have visited Indonesia and the success of the trial has serious ramifications for the indigenous population of rhinos that is currently at risk. For now we are focusing on our own population and we are happy to say, we’ve made excellent progress,” explained a relieved Mr. Tony Sumampau, Director Taman Safari Indonesia. The pachyderm population of the Park includes its elephants and the team of specialist vets examined all the elephants to check their reproductive health, some “plumbing” problems were diagnosed and fixed, a number were discovered to be pregnant and sperm was collected for future insemination. All around a very successful visit declares Tim. “ Each animal has a distinct set of genitals, none are the same. These guys have pioneered the field of rhino and elephant insemination and their expertise goes beyond simple sperm collection.” Breeding programs within zoos and parks are essential to the research and development of the species and the health of a zoo’s animal population. The knowledge gained can then be useful to wild animal populations in certain circumstances. The chance of extinction when humans are a contributing factor, is one case when animal welfare groups feel intervention is justified. “To also be able to increase wildlife numbers through the knowledge we have gained will be advantageous for all conservation breeding programs” says Mr. Tony Sumampau, Director Taman Safari Indonesia. In the meantime, as Nelson and Hima head blissfully into the bushes, the staff at Bali Safari and Marine Park are breathing a sigh of relief that love is in the air and all is right with the pachyderms.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 06, 2013

The Sun has just entered Pisces to start this fortnight and Venus follows along on the 26th and that makes our stellium of 6 planets in Pisces up until mid-March along with Mercury retrograde that starts on the 23rd. Saturn also has just turned retrograde and will sextile Pluto again in early March. Jupiter is playing havoc with the Pisces Planets as they transit the 8 degree mark and with Chiron at that degree for a few weeks, it is in constant communication with this very inquisitive Jupiter in Gemini. The mind is seeking spiritual truths as the stellium is challenging it to grow through understanding. This is the time to expand your views, your mind and your beliefs. Question all that you’ve previously believed possible and allow new potentials to open to you now. So much of our existence is being lived through the instincts and intuition. Pluto in Capricorn is working hard to re-establish form as Saturn continues to dig up the past. Remember all this Pisces energy is very nebulous and lacking in 3D form, so Pluto’s assistance here is appreciated. Uranus in Aries is working with Jupiter in Gemini in it’s eccentric and radical way to instigate the movement towards the new and the different and encourages authenticity and spontaneity. Whatever methods you have to stay grounded in the uncertain currents of this time are highly recommended as you navigate the flow. Emotions run high and very close to the surface for everyone and compassion and empathy abundant. FULL MOON 7 Virgo 24 February 26, 2013 4:27 a.m.

ARIES Mars in Pisces spends a lot of time with Mercury this fortnight. There’s the potential for a lot of communication around sexuality, although lies and deception are always tempting, as the lower octave of Pisces is avoidance. You may get started on something only to find that you run out of steam half way through. Conversely you may find yourself attracted to another and yet are unable to get down to the business at hand. Confusion rules as you try to push forward with your plans now. Many things will need to be reassessed over the coming weeks so no need to let yourself get too distressed with the current situation.

LIBRA Venus is about to enter Pisces and join all those other planets already there. As she joins Neptune she brings great love to your life. This could be a renewal in your current relationship or it could mean a new addition to the family or a new lover. This is the time for otherworldly love. Let your heart strings be plucked and take little notice of your mental dialogue unless it is being used for discernment. Follow your heart and your gut instincts, your intuition and flow with the spaciousness it is creating around you. If the borders dim a little for a moment let this be o.k. as you merge ever more deeply with the Beloved.

TAURUS Venus joins the other planets in Pisces at the end of February and promptly joins Neptune and then Chiron by fortnights end. Neptune conjoined Venus brings sweet, soft, gentle, kind and starry eyed romance. You may find yourself getting lost for hours on end in the embrace of the Beloved. If you don’t have too many practical details to attend to, then this could be a lovely little interlude. Love affairs will be deeply emotional and mind that this doesn’t create a bog in your life. A bit of a pun here, although water and earth combined can and do make mud. Your intuition is extremely heightened now.

SCORPIO As Saturn sextiles Pluto, your ruler, at the beginning of March, it brings a feeling of solidity and further verification to your own hunches. All will continue to be revealed as we pass through transformative times. You are unafraid of change and are in fact so ready for all that these times have to offer humanity. The nodal axis is prompting a redirection for many and if this is you, then begin making the changes that will pull you into the future with grace and ease. The other option is to go at it all like a bull at a proverbial gate. There is a lot of determination behind your actions, yet you along with everyone else, are having their rough edges smoothed.

GEMINI Did you notice the shift when Jupiter in your sign went direct again a couple of weeks ago? As Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces and challenges your Gemini Planets there could be lots of confusion and mixed messages. “I thought you said, in fact I could have sworn you did…”, could be a common refrain during this time. Your mind will be racing away with new ideas while the emotional body strives to keep up. The pace of these ideas will be substantially increased as we pass through this very nebulous part of the galaxy. A great time for visualization and writing of any sort, but particularly poetry. CANCER Full moon is in Virgo and asking for some discipline, scheduling and exercise to be implemented. Your health regime could be up for modification during this time and most definitely your spiritual practises will be highlighted with all the Planets in Pisces trining your Cancer ones. This is a particularly watery time and offers you a space for retreat if that is what you are called to do now. Have patience with yourself as you navigate these waters and find your way through the mists of time. In fact, time and space itself may well alter during these watery adventures. Saturn, the Lord of Time itself is in watery Scorpio. LEO As the Sun moves into Pisces she is supported by 5 other heavenly bodies and as such brings a great deal of flavour to your life. If you are feeling like a chameleon let it not surprise you. Your heart turns to matters of Love and the Divine, or we could say love of the Divine. You could well meet someone now who sweeps you off your feet or you could enter into a sublimely romantic relationship. Feelings run deep in everyone and there is very little fire in the heavens apart from that Uranus in Aries, but thank goodness we have its spontaneity working for us. Jupiter in Gemini also brings the gift of the gab to you and yours. VIRGO Mercury retraces its steps back to Chiron and almost to Neptune. A little more healing coming your way and another round of inspiration to follow. Life is about to change direction for you and a little more patience is required as you pass through the healing chambers. Pisces is your polar opposite sign and with that the stellium will challenge your Virgo planets. Pisces is calling you to retreat, meditation, creative visualization and all things of a divine and spiritual nature. Full Moon is in your sign and brings it’s grace and blessings as it opposes Sun and Chiron. This is the healing chamber that I’ve mentioned.

SAGITTARIUS Jupiter in Gemini with it’s challenge to the Pisces Planets is getting to the core of your belief structure. As you learn new subjects so much is revealing itself to you and on so many levels. No stranger to the broadening of mental horizons, this could prove to be a very beneficial time in your spiritual growth process. Let the challenges stretch you into growth and evolution. This takes some time and Pluto and Saturn both are marking this for you and the rest of us. There are no quick solutions, although miracles are more than possible. Let the wind blow through your heart and clear the cobwebs of the past and its conditioning.

C/Ns/I-09 Jan 13

CAPRICORN Saturn in Scorpio meeting Pluto, the Lord of Karma, to bring a powerful surge of energy your way at the beginning of March. This is a great to time to clear out some more of the clutter. To release more of the past, to address old issues and to heal wounds at a deep and lasting level. The Pisces energy is healing your heart and holding you in a deep embrace of Love. Let the waters run over you and even take the time to cleanse and purify in or with water. In fact, Pisces is the holy water, the spiritual elixir that heals the soul of its karmic wounds. This is such a deep cleansing and clearing taking place. Meditation is emphasized. AQUARIUS Uranus is sextile to Jupiter in Gemini and still promoting great leaps forward in the quantum field. You have an amazing ability to manifest at this time as luck is on your side with regard to any daring new ventures you may have in mind. Do the mental visioning and then take action immediatley upon them. The flow is amazingly simple when we are in harmony with our higher visioning through our Divine natures. Accessing this is easy as you take the solitude and silence required to tune into your higher will and intuit the new direction. Be ever vigilant for modifications as you go through this process.

PISCES A new birthday and it promises to be a profound year for Pisces. So many planets all joined in your sign is sure to bring a lot of love, sex, communication, healing and light to your life. Probably better to find some retreat space to navigate your way through these waters this month and into March. At least take the time for silence and to listen to your inner guidance and to connect with your guides often. The challenge comes from Jupiter in Gemini and is to do with mental stress and overdoing things. Try to give to yourself, at least as much as you do to others this month. Attend to the inner garden.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

The Making of Ubud by Richard Mann One hundred years ago Ubud was just a sleepy palace, a market and some temples totally surrounded by rice fields dotted with single story farmhouses. It wasn’t much different at the start of the 1970s when this small country village began the transformation that would turn it into a major tourism destination. It’s obvious that the author has a soft spot for Ubud, having written the illustrated guide Ubud & Beyond and The Palaces of Bali which lavishes praise on Ubud as a center for arts and crafts, the venue for a world-famous literary festival, a mecca for eco and cultural tours and for the study and practice of yoga and holistic living. With much of his life spent in Asia, Richard Mann has penned a total of 87 books about Indonesia over a period of 26 years. His latest The Making of Ubud is one of the few books that concern itself with Ubud’s cultural history. The only other available published work dedicated exclusively to the history, art and culture of Ubud is Ubud is a Mood (Bali Purnati 2004), which is curiously absent from the “Select Bibliography” in the back. The author pays particular attention to the development of the tourist industry, which was assiduously promoted by Dutch colonizers with the arrival of KPM steamships in northern Bali’s port of Buleleng in the 1920s. In the course of his research he has uncovered a number of obscure and intriguing facts: # After the Dutch invasion, many of Bali’s palaces withdrew their sponsorship of the arts. Artists then began to draw and carve subjects in non-traditional ways that had more appeal to tourists such as myths, folklore and secular scenes from everyday life.

episode of bloody intercommunal clashes in the mid-1960s is dismissed with one sentence. But we read in great detail of the multifaceted Dutch artist W.O.J. Nieuwenkamp who was captivated by the beauty of Bali and became active as a painter, draftsman, sculptor, etcher and lithographer and whose renderings were to play a key role in the popularization of Bali. Nieuwenkamp encouraged and worked with the German doctor Gregor Krause who took 4000 black & white photographs of Bali, published in a book in 1920. Complete chapters are devoted to the life and background of artists Walter Spies, Arie Smit and Rudolph Bonnet.

To show how tourism has become so intertwined into the lifeblood of the community, the author gives the example of one man, Ketut Marma, whose family members have dedicated themselves since the early 1970s to take full advantage of the tourist influx. Though basically farmers, the family eventually became full-blown and successful entrepreneurs by building homestays, art galleries, shops selling clothes, souvenirs and food.

# One of the main incentives for Tjokorda Gede Raka Sukawati to accept paying guests at his Ubud palace was to generate additional income. After the global economic collapse in 1929, incomes fell and the Dutch instituted money-based taxation. Bali’s traditional barter system was not enough to pay the increased land taxes.

The book’s rarely published black & white photos, from the 1920s to the 1970s, are selected to supplement the text. It’s too bad that they’re printed on poor-quality newsprint and are of marginal legibility. Still, the images give an idea of the breathtaking innocence of Bali in those very early days of discovery.

# The film Legong, the Dance of the Virgins (1935) was the last feature film shot using the two-color Technicolor process and one of the last silent films from the silent era.

The explosion of growth in today’s Ubud and the town’s critically inadequate infrastructure has given the author pause. In an email interview, Richard Mann told me that Ubud is on a knife-edge. Yet he holds out hope. “If Ubud can it re-invent itself, tidy itself up and stop the rice field destruction, the town has a bright future.”

Ubud being Bali’s art center, the overwhelming emphasis in the book is on culture and art, mostly painting. Short shrift is given to political history. The whole Communist-era

# The rise of Sanur between and after the world wars helped Ubud because as Sanur grew tourists were ferried to Ubud for day trips, often stopping at the craft villages of Celuk, Batuan and Mas on the way.

By Captain Su

Sailing Wanitas - Rose de Freycinet in Timor in 1818 “I am agitated by a thousand fears.” Rose de Freycinet in a letter to her mother in 1817. Rose de Freycinet (b1794 - d1832) was a remarkable and brave French woman who in 1817, at 22 years old, snuck on board the French corvette Uranie to join her somewhat older husband, Captain Louis de Freycinet (b1779 to d1841) on a three year circumnavigation of scientific discovery. She chopped off her hair, dressed as a man and hid on board until the Uranie departed the port of Toulon. This caused a huge controversy in France because at the time it was considered an illegal and slightly immoral plan. One woman on board a French Navy corvette and with all those sailors, mmmm. The head of the Navy freaked out that his orders had been disobeyed, Rose’s mother dropped it and fled to a nunnery but King Louis XVIII said that it was not a big deal and was slightly amused because he felt that such an example of conjugal devotion was “unlikely to infect many wives.” But if you read her journal and comments in the media of the time Rose was truly motivated by a devout love for her husband. Foremost in her mind was the experience of Ann Flinders, wife of the celebrated navigator Mathew Flinders who endured a nine year wait for her husband’s return some years previous. In fact Louis met Flinders in a lonely bay off the coast of South Australia (now called Encounter Bay) in April 1802 when he was part of the famous Baudin expedition of 1800 to 1803. Rose wrote about the pain and hurt she may have caused and also her anxieties of going to sea. “I am agitated by a thousand fears.” Rose wrote in a goodbye letter to her mother in 1817.

Rose in Timor - 12 September 1818 The Uranie sailed from T o u l o n France on 17 September 1817 and after some contrary winds arrived at Gibraltar on 11 October. Next stop was Teneriffe arriving on 22 October. By this time and being far from Europe Rose revealed her deception to the whole ship and with the help of heavy contingent of armed soldiers to protect her started seriously writing down her observations in her diary. Her husband Louis was charged with the more important stuff of taking magnetic measurements, lat and long calculations and collecting plants and animals for museums. Rose admitted that she did not understand any of this but acknowledged its importance. After Tenerife was the long haul to Rio de Janeiro (December 1817) then Cape of Good Hope (March/April 1818) before crossing the Indian Ocean and ending up at Shark Bay (September 1818). On 9 October 1818 Rose arrived at Kupang Timor. She noted that even then there was fascination of westerners with the local women. Many Portuguese officers married Timorese women. Rose said, “These wives are all

daughters of Rajas so their complexions are somewhat swarthy.” She continued in this uncharitable vein when she commented on the wives clothing. She said that they, “doubtless assuming that their costume would appear to us far from ravishing these ladies told us that they had sent large orders to Macao for fashionable goods and that these were waited from moment to moment.” After Kupang Rose sailed to Dili where the residence of the Governor of the Portuguese colony lived. At Dili the Governor put on a resplendent welcome for Rose with umbrellas held by servants to protect her from the sun, soldiers in full uniforms and knee high leather boots and a delicate operation to get her off the dinghy without getting her long dress wet or to ruffle the exquisite feathers in her hair. Of course one of the gentleman soldiers held her hand as she navigated the barge board. Louis loved to arrive in these exotic ports with the young and beautiful Rose on his arm. She according to some brightened up the tedious voyage of the Uranie with her bright and infectious charm. After Dili the Uranie sailed onto Rawak New Guinea and in January 1819 headed north out of Indonesian waters. Rose spent four months in present day Indonesian waters and her diary provides a fascinating insight into this part of the world in second decade of 19 century.

Rose arrives Home in France By the time Rose got back to France in 1820 the controversy had blown over and she had indeed become a bit of a celebrity. Her husband got busted for wrecking the Uranie in the Falkland Islands on the homeward leg but the issue of Rose sneaking on board got buried and nobody got into trouble. Her diary, which actually was in the form of daily letters to a dear friend in France, remained out of the public eye until 1927 when French researcher Charles Dupblomb published the letters as a Journal. Lady Marnie Bassett published a book in English in 1962 based on the Journal of 1927. However, a complete English translation did not surface until 1996 some 170 years later when a Women of Courage was published.

Rose stayed faithful to her husband during the three year voyage although a few of the romantics on board fell in love with her, notably the bohemian artist Jacques Argo. Rose had a few landmarks named after her. Rose Atoll in American Samoa was a gift from her husband. In his official report Louis records that, “I named Rose Island, from the name of someone who is extremely dear to me.” Also Rose Point near Shark Bay Western Australian was named after her. Louis got cholera in 1832 and was nursed back to health by Rose who was sick herself. She gradually got worse and died on May 7 1832 at 38 years old. Louis lived another 9 years and died at the age of 62 in August 1841 still grieving for his beloved wife. Happy Sailing!

The Vanishing Vanilla Spice harvesting in Bali By Skye Laphroaig

The ageless scent of vanilla is sweet and breezy with undertones of depth and mystery, making vanilla essence a popular ingredient in cooking and for beauty therapy treatments. Vanilla is available in many different forms on the island, from actual vanilla pods to the extracted vanilla oil, which means anyone can enjoy the complexities of the delicious scent. The warm and welcoming aroma brings back childhood memories and is used in aromatherapy to relax the mind. Vanilla plants were brought into Indonesia by the Dutch and planted in Bogor Botanical Gardens until eventually they spread throughout the archipelago. When cultivated and drained using the correct technique, vanilla fruit produced from Indonesian crops is considered the finest quality in the world. With its rich, fertile land and moderate rainfall, vanilla grows well at an altitude of between 500 and 1000 meters above sea level. Although vanilla is still highly valued for its flavour, vanilla farms across Bali only cover 806 hectares of land, with an annual production of just 30 tons. Many local farmers no longer grow the spice because its price has declined considerably on international markets. MEXICAN ORIGINS Vanilla is a flavouring derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla, which is native to Mexico. The word vanilla is taken from the Spanish word “vainilla”, meaning Little Pod. Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican peoples cultivated vanilla and Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés is credited with introducing both vanilla and chocolate to Europe in the 1520s. Attempts to cultivate the vanilla plant outside Mexico and Central America proved futile because of the symbiotic relationship between the tlilxochitl vine that produced the vanilla orchid and the local species of Melipona bee; it was not until 1837 that Belgian botanist Charles François Antoine Morren discovered this fact and pioneered a method of artificially pollinating the plant. The method proved financially unworkable and was not deployed commercially. In 1841, Edmond Albius, a 12-year-old slave who lived on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, discovered the plant could be hand pollinated. Hand pollination allowed global cultivation of the plant. The majority of the world’s vanilla is the V. planifolia variety more commonly known as Bourbon vanilla or the Madagascar vanilla, which is produced in Madagascar, the southwestern Indian Ocean, and Indonesia. Vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron, because growing the vanilla seedpods is very labour intensive. Despite its expense, vanilla is highly valued for its flavour and complex floral aroma. As a result, vanilla is widely used in both commercial and domestic baking, for perfume manufacture and aromatherapy. FRUIT POLLINATION Pollination of the fruit produces its distinctively flavoured compounds. Vanilla planifolia flowers are hermaphroditic: they carry both male (anther) and female (stigma) organs; however, to avoid self-pollenization, a membrane separates those organs. Using a beveled sliver of bamboo, an agricultural worker carefully folds back the membrane separating the anther and the stigma then he presses the anther onto the stigma. The flower is now self-pollinated and will produce one fruit. The vanilla flower lasts about a day, sometimes less, thus growers have to inspect their plantations every day for open flowers, a labour-intensive task. Like other orchids’ seeds, vanilla seed will not germinate

without the presence of certain mycorrhizal fungi. Instead, growers reproduce the plant by cutting: they remove sections of the vine with six or more leaf nodes, a root opposite each leaf. The two lower leaves are removed, and this area is buried in loose soil at the base of a support. The remaining upper roots will cling to the support, and often grow down into the soil. Growth is rapid under good conditions. HARVESTING AND FERMENTATION The freshly picked vanilla fruit is green, with a shape resembling beans, and only after the fruit is dried will the colour change from green to black. When the aroma emerges, seeds are ready for market. Vanilla fruit is harvested between the age of 8 or 9 months after pollination, depending on the intensity of sunlight. Harvest ‘age range’ is also dependent on elevation of planting sites. In the lowlands age is shorter than the vanilla crops cultivated in the highlands. Once harvested, the fruit pods are immediately washed thoroughly and graded according to the diameter and length. The fruit can be divided into small, medium and large. In the process of withering, vanilla fruit is dipped in a hot water temperature of 65°C. Small fruit is only dipped for 1.5 minutes and bigger sizes for 2.5 minutes. Afterwards, the fruit is drained and fermented. When a vanilla pod is properly managed, the skin will turn brown, oily and fragrant. Fermentation takes place in a box container made of wood or plywood. The box is made of two layers with the middle filled with Styrofoam or sawdust for thermal insulation. The inside of the box is a layer of natural cotton fabric. Before vanilla is inserted into the fermentation boxes, it is dried in the hot sun with a black cloth cap for around three hours. This drying procedure is to increase the temperature to 38-40°C. Fermentation is carried out during the day and night for 24 hours. The temperature inside the box must remain stable between 38-40°C to enable enzymes to produce the aromatic substance vanillin in the fruit pods. DRYING PROCESS F r o m t h e fermentation box, vanilla fruit is dried on top of a rack bamboo tampah (widhig), which has a black cotton cloth base. Drying continues for 2-3 hours and repeated 3-4 times. After which the spread of fruit vanilla is covered with black cotton cloth and drying is continued until the afternoon. Pods are then rolled in cloth, and re-inserted into the fermentation boxes. This procedure is carried out for 3-4 days until the water content of fruit falls from 80% to 50-60%. The vanilla fruit must be examined one by one. If there is mold-contaminated fruit (due to contamination during picking), then it should be immediately separated. The pod skin will appear darker and eventually turn black. An essential layer of oil increases on the wrinkled skin and the pod stiffens. Drying naturally on bamboo racks continues for 1-2 months. During this period, vanilla fruit should be checked and stopped when water content is 35-38%. These days, this long drying process can be shortened to just 10 days with the aid of an electric, oil, coal or firewood dryer. As well as shortening the drying time, a modern dryer can also help improve the quality of the vanilla fruit.

COOL STORAGE After the drying process is complete vanilla is tied together with raffia. The bonds consist of 50 or 100 dried pods. Each bond is packed with oily or waxed paper and put into storage boxes. This box must first be given a mat and covered with waxed paper. The box is then closed and stored in a cool and dry place. Periodically, vanilla bonds are unloaded and checked to see if they are moldy. The moldy pods are immediately wiped and dipped in 70% alcohol. This process is carried out for 2-3 months to obtain a good quality dry vanilla. The International Standards Organization (ISO) and the National Standardization Council have an established quality for vanilla trading. The U.S. market prefers vanilla with a moisture content between 20-25%. While European markets prefer vanilla with a moisture content between 30-35%. This quality can be met if the process of cultivation, harvesting and post harvest is followed correctly. MARKET PRICE Vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron, due to the extensive labour required to grow the v a n i l l a seedpods. Despite the expense, it is highly valued for its pure, spicy, and delicate flavour along with and its complex floral aroma. Within Indonesia a vanilla bean was for many years sold at a price range of 20 thousand dollars per rod, per 100 grams of fruit vanilla, which earned it the nickname ‘Gold Green’. Despite its huge economic potential, cultivating vanilla plants has become less popular because consumers now buy synthetic products. Bali has 4,500 hectares of fertile land suitable for growing vanilla, but local farmers do not want to grow it any more because the price has declined in international markets. In 2004, the price of vanilla beans reached around Rupiah 3 million [US$310] per kilogram and the commodity was exported to the United States and European countries. Many local farmers have rejected expert advice to continue, saying farming vanilla is too complicated and economically unfeasible. Vanilla is perhaps the most labour-intensive crop in the world, taking as long as five years between first planting the vine and producing aged extract. HEALTH BENEFITS Vanilla is added as a raw material in cakes or drinks. Natural vanilla powder can be used as an herb mixture for beautytreatment spa therapies where the powder will be mixed with other natural ingredients such as ginger. Vanilla extract has long been used to treat a variety of conditions including sleeping difficulties. The essential oil reportedly contains sedative like properties and is used by some practitioners to treat insomnia, anxiety and depression. Store-bought products can be expensive and may contain chemicals, so if you love vanilla, why not save time and money by making your own products at home. Try spritzing vanilla body spray onto your pillow before you lie down for the night. The comforting smell should help you drift off to sleep. Or indulge your body with a homemade foaming vanilla bath. The soothing vanilla oil helps relax nerves, and anti-inflammatory properties help ease muscle strain and tension. While westerners tinker with the flavour of their coffee and deserts, small-scale Balinese farmers continue to carefully manage and safeguard their vanilla production. Their best hope is that culinary creations in the world’s richest countries will spur a new wave of demand for natural vanilla products. Let us remain optimistic that the golden age for vanilla plants would soon return to Bali.

Tamara Fielding: Wayang Kulit Puppeteer

Bali Advertiser

Have you done a lot of international travel? Yes, I perform my one-woman show TAMARA and THE SHADOW THEATRE OF JAVA on cruise ships, at international festivals, museums, international schools and universities. I have performed in Brazil, Greece, Indonesia and the United States. I am the only Indonesian-born woman dalang (master of Wayang Kulit) performing outside of Indonesia. Wayang Kulit has been a man’s profession for centuries! Where did you get your interest in puppet theatre? It was in my family’s rubber plantation in Garut where I spent many happy days as a young child. My grandmother used to tell me wonderful stories from the native wayang puppet theatre. I felt spellbound and inspired by the beauty of this mysterious storytelling, always performed at night under an open sky. It proved to be an experience that would influence my future career and my life-long devotion to the art. Where did you learn Wayang Kulit puppetry? The traditional stories with their cultural background and history I learned in Holland where wayang theatre is well documented because of Holland’s long involvement with its East Indies colonies. The movements of the puppets I learned by training with puppeteers. My shows are shorter than the traditional 8-10 hours that is common in Indonesia, and the puppets’ dialogue is in English with a sprinkling of Indonesian words spoken by the clowns. Are the plots adapted to a Western audience?

Tamara Fielding was born in Cimahi in West Java in the Dutch East Indies in 1934 in a small military post to a Dutch father and a mixed Indonesian and European mother. She grew up in Bandung in a large house where four generations of her family lived together under one roof. Tamara’s privileged and happy childhood came to an abrupt end when Japanese soldiers marched through town on March 9th, 1942. After spending years in Japanese prison camps, she and her mother and sister escaped and fled to Holland. Tamara studied drama in Paris and appeared in American movies filmed in France such as Lust for Life and Trapeze. Tamara put on her first Wayang Kulit show for friends at the Unitarian Church in Huntington, New York in 1985. Since then she has performed shadow puppet theatre throughout the world. In 2011, Tamara wrote a book based on her childhood experiences. After Japan invaded, were you ever in danger? Within a few months after Japanese troops landed on Java, our family was separated from each another and trucked away to prison camps. At first, my mother, older sister and myself were interned in Cihapit Camp in Bandung. Several months later we were transported on a train without food or water and then trucked to the Adek women’s prison camp in Batavia. Those years were the worst years of our lives because, as time went on, we grew weaker and weaker from starvation. Were you in the country during Indonesia’s war of independence? I was in Java on August 6th, 1945, when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Japan surrendered eight days later. After Sukarno proclaimed the new Republic of Indonesia on August 17th, 1945, the Japanese Army continued to hold the women and children prisoners in the concentration camps until British troops arrived. Did you try to escape? During a food drop by British planes flying over the Adek Camp, my mother, sister and I escaped. We thought that we were free again, but actually our lives were more endangered outside the camps where a revolution was taking place. Considered to be Dutch and hated by the Indonesians, we were targeted to be murdered and had to flee our country. On January 1946 we embarked for Holland as refugees on De Tegelberg and spent 29 days living in the cargo hull of an overcrowded ship. After leaving Indonesia, I lived in Holland, Switzerland, Curacao, France and finally the United States.

The plots are the same as in Indonesia; they have the same endings, but I have scripted them in English and they are just a bit shorter which is better suited for Western audiences. My favorite story is The Abduction of Princess Sinta from the Ramayana epic poem. Do you make regular appearances performing as a dalang? My shows are much appreciated; especially on cruise ships sailing to Java and Bali. The audience also loves my explanation of the culture and puppet theatre before I start my show. My traveling theatre performs year-round. Pending on the venue and their budget, my performances may include dancers and musicians as well. I own a complete set of gamelan musical instruments for such shows.

Could you tell us a little bit about your book Shadow Princess? I have always wanted to write a book. My co-author, Cindy Marvell, profiled me in The New York Times. That’s how we met and the idea to write a fictional novel together was born. The book was published in 2011 and launched at the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in 2012. The story, some of which is drawn from my own life, is about a teenager who experiences life full-force during the Sumatra tsunami and its aftermath. Filled with Indonesian mythology, folklore and puppetry, Shadow Princess; An Indonesian Story is an adventurous journey of a brave young girl in search of her parents and her ancestor’s lore. Do you have any future plans? I will continue pursuing the things that I love - art, travel, writing and boating. I own and captain a 33 ft. Sea Ray Sport Cruiser called Born-To-Be-Wild. I like to sit around my fishpond and entertain my grandchildren with Indonesian folktales my grandmother told me long ago such as Kancil the Mouse Deer. I dream about turning my book into a screenplay and into a movie. Where may you be contacted? I live with my husband Maxwell in Northport, New York. I may be contact at: Javapuppets@aol.com or through my website: www.Indonesianshadowplay.com.

IS STRESS RULING YOUR LIFE? Do you want to be able to develop strategies to help you feel calmer, feel like you are coping with what life throws at you? Every person copes with stress differently. More often than not the stress starts to accumulate over a period of time, which adversely affects your physical and even your emotional health. If long term stress is left untreated it may cause serious health consequences, affecting • Cardiovascular system • Digestive system • Energy production • Hormonal balances • Sleep • Mood and wellbeing Stress comes in many forms in this busy world where there is pressure to be on call 24 hours a day with all the technology available. There are many places we find stress, such as; • Work • Personal • Family • Any significant changes • Financial pressures • Unrealistic expectations by self or others STRATEGIES FOR COPING WITH STRESS Healthy Eating It is essential to incorporate foods into your day that will assist to support you through stressful periods in your life. These include foods high in: Essential Fatty Acids – Omega 3 from fish is great for supporting the brain and healthy moods. Include small oily fish such as mackerel, sardines, salmon and avocado, walnuts and Brazil nuts and quality fish oil supplements into your daily diet. Magnesium – Low magnesium levels may intensify the stress response. Magnesium is essential to assist muscles to relax. You will get magnesium from red meat, almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, sesame and sunflower seeds, prunes, spinach, bananas, berries and parsley. B Vitamins – B vitamins are the most important vitamins to support the stress response. They work together to support energy production, nervous system function and good brain function to name a few. Food rich in Vitamin B is chicken, lamb, wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, rice bran, almonds and eggs. Herbs – If the stress in your life is making you feel anxious, irritable, and tense, causing sleep disturbances, you may benefit from herbal combinations. Restoring balance and health to your body systems is essential to get back to feeling human again, feeling full of vitality and coping with stress in a healthy, productive way as it was originally intended. Combining these healthy foods with supplements if required will allow your body to cope so much better with any stress that comes your way. FOODS WE THINK HELP US AT TIMES OF STRESS BUT ACTUALLY INCREASE OUR STRESS RESPONSE! There are foods to avoid if you are in a stressed state or have stress related symptoms. These foods can increase your stress responses, which all of us should avoid but often we rely on these foods to give us a quick fix, thinking that they help us cope with a stressful situation. • Avoid caffeinated drinks and foods. • Avoid alcohol • Avoid sugar By following these 3 steps for 4 weeks you will notice a massive difference. I hear you saying, ‘I can’t do that!’ How many times have I heard that and had the client come back months later still feeling awful and often with more symptoms than before. What is four weeks in your whole life! What emotional reasons do you really feel you need to have these 3 products?

TALK TO SOMEBODY It has been shown that talking to someone about your concerns can help assist in relieving overwhelming feelings. Talk to a dear friend, family member, a trained health care professional. Often to just let out your feelings without any judgement or offerings to fix the problems that allows you to be able to put any situation into perspective. Ask someone to just listen, without any interruptions, let it all out. See how you feel after doing this. Often it feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. It is wonderful to let it all out. RELAXATION TECHNIQUES Listening to Music Put on some feel good music, whatever genre it may be, sit down and relax or dance your heart out. Really engross yourself in some favourite music and feel those stressful feelings dissipate. Never underestimate the power of music. Consume Dark Chocolate Now every time I suggest to my clients to eat dark chocolate, their eyes light up. They are so grateful that I haven’t taken away all their favourite foods. Please bear in mind I have said dark chocolate, this means quality 70% plus cocoa. Studies have shown that dark chocolate can decrease the stress hormone in people. So approximately 20 grams or 4 small pieces per day with some healthy raw nuts will reduce your stress and also curb your sugar cravings. The great thing is that dark chocolate also is rich in antioxidants which assist in protecting our body from free radicals. Conscious Breathing Now many of my clients scoff at this idea and tell me they don’t have time to breathe properly! Research has proven that conscious deep breathing can help to reduce cortisol levels and stress symptoms. It is as easy as taking a deep breath that extends to your abdomen. It is initially best to do this lying down, so you can see you abdomen expanding. Take it slowly and focus on the breath. If your mind starts to go elsewhere don’t scold yourself, just bring your mind back to the breath and continue focusing on watching your abdomen raise and lower. Practise this powerful exercise for ten minutes a day. The results are astounding if done consistently. Favourite Pastime Do something that you love to do, that you are passionate about. It can be anything from surfing, watching a movie, reading a book, walking on the beach, drawing, dancing or even singing. Whatever makes you smile is essential for your soul, so that it can be nourished. Create a regular time every week or more if you can to do something for you.

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

ANTIBIOTICS….Do You REALLY Need Them? Over-prescription of Antibiotics Leading to Crisis When antibiotics were discovered back in the 1940’s they were hailed as the wonder drug of the century. Certainly many people that once perished from simple infections were being saved. Even today antibiotics are the most valuable medicines known to man. However, as a society (and especially here in Asia) we are using them far too frequently. Every time a friend or relative comes from the clinics here, they have at least one kind of antibiotic. Even more frustrating are the little packets of powder often dispensed for children. Who knows what these concoctions contain? My suspicion is they contain a potent mix of antibiotics, steroids, and vitamins. Antibiotics used appropriately can stop infections and save lives. When used inappropriately they can do more harm than good and their overuse may be thrusting us into an era where antibiotics will no longer be effective and the bacteria will be mutating faster than we can develop new treatments. In fact in India, this has already happened. Over 50 percent of bacterial infections in Indian hospitals are resistant to commonly used antibiotics, and surveys show that many widespread bacterial pathogens in India are also resistant to powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics. In 2010, a team of South Asian and British scientists analyzed bacterial infections in a hospital around New Delhi, and found that 24 percent could also resist hospitals’ lastresort intravenous antibiotics, and 13 percent were endowed with a super-resistant gene, dubbed “New Delhi metallobeta-lactamase 1,” or NDM-1, which confers resistance to even the strongest antibiotics. Since then, NDM-1 bacteria have been found in drinking water supplies and in puddles around New Delhi, and in patients in over 35 countries. Make no mistake. This is not a new bacteria, or one bacteria that has mutated. The NDM-1 factor is a gene that can inhabit many kinds of bacteria turning relatively benign common bacteria into super-bugs. What are antibiotics? Antibiotics, through various actions, destroy or inhibit the growth of bacteria. The antibiotic may be specific, and targeted at a small group of bacteria, or it may be a broadspectrum antibiotic, which means it will be effective against a large group of organisms. Most antibiotics are absorbed well through the gut, and are sold as tablets or syrups, but some do have to be injected. Do antibiotics cure all infections? No they do not. Antibiotics have no effect at all on infections caused by viruses, or fungi. Viruses cause all types of flu and colds, and most coughs and sore throats. In some cases antibiotics will be prescribed for someone suffering a heavy viral infection to prevent bacterial overgrowth. Antibiotics will aggravate the condition of someone suffering a fungal infection. Many “healthy bacteria” that normally live around our bodies actually assist us in our well-being. These friendly bacteria are killed when broad-spectrum antibiotics are prescribed. This then leaves an open arena for pathogens like certain fungi (e.g. Candida), to take over. Interestingly enough, recovery from some bacterial infections will happen in the same number of days with or without antibiotics. Our bodies do have the ability to heal themselves in most circumstances. What is “Antibiotic Resistance”? When antibiotics are used to kill a certain group of bacteria, some of those bacteria may adapt, grow and multiply with a new found strength that is able to resist the antibiotic that was once effective in killing it. Each time an antibiotic is used, the chance of resistance increases. The resistance to any antibiotic is not limited to one person but affects the entire community in general. For example if Fred takes antibiotics (eg Amoxicillin) for every minor infection that he has, the bacteria will soon become resistant to that antibiotic. If John is then infected by a bacteria that has been passed on to him by Fred, it will be of

no use for John to take Amoxicillin. The bacteria is already resistant. This has been proven in communities worldwide. Penicillin, the very first antibiotic to be marketed, is now useless against most infections. Certain strains of antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus (Golden Staph.) have colonized in hospitals all over the globe. Malaria is resistant to Chloroquine in almost all high-risk Malaria regions (although strictly speaking Malaria is not a bacteria, but the same principle applies). Antibiotic resistance is a very serious problem. Very soon we will be back at square one, if the drug companies cannot design newer and more sophisticated antibiotic weapons to counteract the ever-mutating bacterial armies such as those carrying NDM-1 gene. Bacterial resistance cannot be stopped; it is part of evolution itself. However it’s development and spread can be minimized by: • Only using antibiotics when absolutely necessary. • Knowing what sort of illnesses respond to antibiotics. • Understanding that recovery from many illnesses will occur in the same time frame, with or without antibiotics. Here are some conditions that are frequently treated with antibiotics that perhaps need not be. Coughs and Bronchitis • In most cases, coughs and bronchitis are caused by viruses and rarely need antibiotics. • Even coughs that produce yellow or green phlegm rarely need antibiotics. Colds and flu. • Colds and flu are caused by viruses and can last for several weeks. • Yellow or greenish nasal discharge does not necessarily mean that antibiotics are indicated. Sore throats. • Sore throats that are accompanied by a cold or a cough are generally viral in origin. • A bacterial Streptococcal infection (“Strep Throat”) is diagnosed by a laboratory test, and is treated with antibiotics. Sinus Infections. • Sinus infections that last for less than 2 weeks are generally caused by a virus. • Severe or recurring sinus infections may be treated with antibiotics. Ear infections. • Not all ear infections require treatment with antibiotics. • Most people will be pain free within 24 hours with or without antibiotic therapy. • If symptoms persist for more than 24 – 72 hours (depending on age), see your doctor Here are some good tips for overcoming an illness: • Get plenty of rest. • Drink plenty of fluids (water or herbal tea) 7 – 8 glasses a day. • Avoid cigarettes and smoky environments. • Paracetamol (Panadol, Tylanol) may reduce aches, pains and fever. • Steam inhalations may be used to help reduce congestion (not recommended for children under the age of 6. Care should be taken in older children using hot water steam therapy). • Saline (sterile salt-water) nasal sprays will help clear mucous. Nasal suckers are available for babies that are unable to clear their own nose.

ParacelsusAsia

Heart Attack & Strokes Pandemic says WHO Metabolic Medicine, not Statins the Answer

Laser Therapy Safe, Painless and Relaxing

Heart attacks and strokes kill far more people every year than any other disease on Earth and the prognosis is not good. 25 million dead every year by 2030 says the WHO and yet more people survive these events than ever before. So what’s gone wrong? ParacelsusAsia takes a look and explains what you need to do not to be among the statistics and volunteers himself as guinea pig for the answer…. I address heart attack and stroke together simply because a stroke is as often as not a heart attack of the brain with a two third chance of stemming from the same artherosclerotic cause. The biggest difference being a stroke is by far the more scary of the two, most particularly if you survive. Although more of us are surviving heart attack and stroke a lot more of us are having them. That’s why heart disease and stroke remain the number one and number two killer in the US respectively. The factors that put us at risk, such as obesity, diabetes, have become a lot more common as our life style and our environment have become more toxic. As a result, in the developed world we may die less often than we did thanks to the technological and pharmacological advances of modern medicine, which keep us going via drugs, stents and by-pass surgery, but the disease itself is more prevalent today than ever. Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) take a huge toll on modern day society. More than 81 million Americans suffer from some form of CVD disease, making it still the leading cause of death in that country. As of 2006, CVD was responsible for at least one in every 2.9 deaths in the U.S. It may also come as a surprise to some of you that since 1984 more women in the US die of heart disease than men. Rest of the World Catches Up Ominously, in the rest of the world things are bad and likely to get worse. According to the World health Organisation (WHO), CVD is the number one cause of death globally: more people die annually from CVD than from any other cause, an estimated 17.3 million in 2008 representing 30% of all global deaths. By 2030, almost 25 million people will die from CVDs, mostly heart disease and stroke.

In brief, and I will expand on this in columns to come, these are the basic steps involved: 1. Ensure you get all the right cholesterol and other related tests. Most doctors are nowhere near comprehensive enough to address the essential problem. Particularly important is the test for cholesterol particle size. 2. Check for Metabolic Syndrome: measure body mass and belly fat. Small LDL and HDL particles indicate metabolic syndrome; as do triglycerides greater than 100 and HDL less than 50, or ratio of triglycerides to HDL greater than four. Blood sugars: take a glucose insulin challenge test. It’s important to test for insulin and glucose. Check hemoglobin A1c also. 3. Diet: eat a healthy low glycemic diet. 4. Exercise. Well, you know that. 5. Supplement: use quality nutritional supplements to support healthy cholesterol particle size. These include: a good multivitamin including 500 mcg chromium, 2 mg biotin and 400 mg lipoic acid; 1000 mg of omega-3 fats (EPA/DHA) twice a day; 2000 IU vitamin D3 a day; 1200 mg red rice yeast twice a day. 6. Niacin: consider using high dose Niacin or Vitamin B3 under doctor’s advise. 7. Statins: use low-dose Statins only if you have had heart disease or are a male with multiple risk factors, while carefully monitoring for muscle and liver damage and always under a doctors supervision.

TO MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR A SMOKE FREE FUTURE I smoked for 20 years and tried to quit almost as many times. I received the laser treatment almost 2 years ago and haven’t looked back since.

Kim Miller Sanur, Bali C/He/I- 03 Oct 12

For the vast majority of people this approach is far more effective than simply taking a cholesterol medication. To reduce your risk of heart disease you need to address Metabolic Syndrome, and that can only be done effectively with a comprehensive diet and lifestyle approach. C/He/I-12 Dec 12

Most CVDs can be prevented by addressing risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity, raised blood pressure, diabetes and raised lipids. Well, we knew that didn’t we? It sounds easy, if not simple. But it is not. It is neither. If it were that simple heart disease would not be the killer that it still is. The best answer modern medicine has so far is no answer at all. In fact it is pernicious…. Statin drugs like Lipitor and now Crestor will almost certainly lower your cholesterol by stopping your body making so much of it, but they will not treat the reason why your body does this. Nor is there any evidence yet to show that statin drugs will stop you having a heart attack. There are many reasons for cardiac events and strokes and excess cholesterol is only one of them. Heart disease is not a Lipitor or Crestor deficiency. It is a complex result of many factors driven by diet, fitness, stress and other lifestyle factors such as smoking, social life, and a toxic environment. Taking a pill won’t fix this. The problem isn’t cholesterol, it’s what we eat. It’s the Metabolism, Silly! The name for this condition is Metabolic Syndrome, and it has become the most common medical condition in the developed world, but the most rarely diagnosed, let alone treated. As defined by the Mayo Clinic Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions , increased blood pressure, a high blood sugar level, excess body fat around the waist or abnormal cholesterol levels, that increases your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. It affects over half the population in the US. Not only the major cause of heart disease, diabetes, and aging, it is one of the major causes of dementia and cancer, as well as infertility and sexual dysfunction. Yet, it is mostly ignored by doctors simply because there are no drugs to treat it effectively, and doctors tend to focus on what they can treat with medications, even if it is the wrong target. This is one of the reasons why statins are so popular worldwide despite the large and expanding body of research against them. The good news about all this is that even if you do have Metabolic Syndrome, have high cholesterol and are prediabetic, you can be successfully diagnosed and treated by a doctor practicing functional medicine.

Casebook ParacelsusAsia

The Proof is in the Pudding…. While researching this article it became all to apparent to me that given my age and circumstances I myself am as good a candidate as any to become one of the statistics I am writing about. While I may appear to be in pretty good nick and lead a reasonably sensible life style I nevertheless have elevated cholesterol, am somewhat overweight in the wrong places, and exhibit certain other of the classic risk factors. Having received a complimentary and for him (he’s usually the nicest of men) severe ticking off from my wife’s cardiologist and following the results of a blood test, I reluctantly agreed to take 10mg of Crestor, the latest wizbang statin drug, spooked in turn by his obvious concern and by that relish cardiologists can’t seem to resist when telling you that “the first symptom of a heart attack is death”. Collapse of stout party. I folded and took the drug. But in my heart I kept my fingers crossed and made myself the promise I would get off the statin naturally. “I know you, I know what you’re thinking”, he said, reading me like an open book. “It’s OK, but only if you promise to do it while consulting a doctor”. The drug worked and within a matter of weeks and by August 2012 my cholesterol levels were well within range. So now I reckon it’s time I put my body where my pen is, so to speak, and make good on my promise to myself.

Say What? Question: I need some advice. I’m pretty insecure, but only when it comes to my boyfriend and his friends that are girls. We’re 21 and 20 years old, and we’ve been together for almost 4 years. He has this friend that is a girl, who he has known for a couple years since high school. I am really jealous because they text all the time and hangout and stuff. It kills my mood and was a big issue at one point. It still is a big issue and doesn’t sit right with me. He tells me that they are just friends, and that they aren’t even close, just “good friends.” Should I be concerned? I believe that guys can’t be friends with the opposite sex without eventually being attracted to them in some way. I just need some good advice. Thanks! Dr. ZZ: In order to come to terms with this situation, you need to better assess whether anything is in fact going on between your boyfriend and the girl, or whether you are just being paranoid. No matter how many potential scenarios you play out in your head, merely fantasizing about it is not a solution; you need to talk to your boyfriend. Without blaming or accusing, you need to tell him that your intuition is not letting you rest on this. Let him know that something doesn’t feel right to you about his texting and hanging out with this girl all the time; that you feel neglected. Talking with him about this will open an opportunity for you to learn more about him, yourself, and relationships. Make a few simple requests of him for ways in which he can pay more attention to you and make sure your feelings aren’t jeopardized. Perhaps you can accompany him and the girl when they hang out, or maybe you and she can spend time together, get to know each other better, and become friends too. Notice what he does or doesn’t do to honor your requests, and you will get some interesting information. If he comes through for you, and you still can’t shake your insecurities, then you may want to explore your belief that guys can’t be “just friends” with the opposite gender. If he doesn’t come through, then it is better to find out now. Bottom line: you deserve to be in a relationship in which you feel valued and are made to feel important. Question: Although I have no intention of leaving my girlfriend, I am losing interest in her. We are both 22, and we have been in an intimate partnership for about a year. I love her dearly, and we have plans to settle down. It’s just that I am becoming disinterested in spending time with her because our conversations have disintegrated and seem to lack maturity. I love being serious and romantic, and I feel as if she is always joking and being comical. Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy humor and kidding around too. But it’s become a bit overbearing and a turn off. I just came home from spending

three days at her house, and we didn’t have one serious, loving moment like two adults. I am wondering if I am the problem because the her comical songs, noises, comments, and things she does irk me. I love having serious, romantic, in-depth conversations with her and, most of the time, I feel as if we are just making small talk, and it turns me off. I don’t know how to tell her or what to say because I don’t want to seem as if I am nagging or uptight. I deal with it by ignoring her when she jokes around, but then she gets really quiet, and I imagine she thinks I am in a bad mood. When we first met, we weren’t like this. We used to have fun moments and deep, serious conversations in which we discussed things like adults. Now it’s as if we only chit chat, and it’s making me feel distant and turned off. Is something wrong with me? How can I deal with this situation without hurting our relationship? I am willing to work through anything. Thanks! Dr. ZZ: Good on you for determining to hang in with the relationship and look for ways to work this through! Now, all you need is a way to tell your girlfriend exactly what you have written above; so that the two of you can make time and put attention on the topics of discussion that you crave in order to feel to whole. In any relationship, it’s normal to have times when things aren’t completely in sync. The solution is to find ways to communicate what you’re thinking and feeling and to encourage your partner to do the same.

One exercise you may find useful is called “Heart Share” or “Splitting Time.” You actually time each other with a watch or timing device, letting each of you speak uninterrupted for 5 minutes or so about anything you care to while the other one listens. Don’t correct anything your partner says or expect the other person to sound a certain way; just share and listen. Then switch places, making sure that each of you gets a chance to speak without reactions, questions or expectations from the other person. Do this back and forth a couple of times until neither of you has anything else to add, then agree on another time when you’ll do this again, and finish with a hug. As you practice this together, you’ll be learning how to communicate effectively while giving yourselves and each other permission to talk about any subject without judgment. Best of luck!

UBUD WRITERS READERS FESTIVAL

“Mawar Hitam Tanpa Akar: The Black Rose without Roots” by Aprila R.A. Wayar Reviewed by Sarita Newson The ninth Ubud Writers and Readers Festival in 2012 encouraged more cities around the vast archipelago to adopt similar literary festivals, with local twists of their own, to continue unearthing literary passions and talents. Around 140 writers from 30 countries took part in the festival, and among the 40 participating Indonesian writers were 16 short-listed emerging young writers from Aceh, Bandung, Bekasi, Jakarta, Kupang, Makassar, Padang, Pangkalpinang, Papua, Semarang, Sumenep, Surakarta and Tangerang. Hivos and the Australia-Indonesia Institute supported their attendance at the festival in Ubud. One remarkable writer who stood out amongst the diverse gathering of young emerging novelists and poets selected to attend the festival was Aprila R.A Wayar, who has the distinction of being the first woman novelist to arise from Papua in this century. Her novel, ‘Mawar Hitam Tanpa Akar’— The Black Rose with no Roots—tells the story in two voices, first that of a young mother, Ana, and then, in the second part of the book, that of her husband, Tom. This Papuan couple has started a family amidst the chaos and uncertainty of Indonesia’s military rule. Soekarno annexed the vast province of West Papua from Dutch rule in a confrontation culminating on December 19th, 1961. As we follow the day-to-day lives of Ana and Tom their past illuminates the background of the story. They meet as students in Yogyakarta, during the wave of student activism that was to force Suharto to resign from his presidency of Indonesia in 1998. Tom, who is the son of a Papuan mother and a retired Javanese military officer, is in his last semester of studying International Relations at Gajahmada University in Yogyakarta. Having grown up in Papua during the ferocious Indonesian Military Operations that decimated the Papuan population, this intelligent and critical young man is well on his way to becoming an activist, in spite of his military family and middle class background. Ana has also grown up in Papua, supported by her mother and extended family. She has never known her father, who remains a mystery her mother prefers not to talk about. Tom and Ana fall in love, get married, work and live as a typical Indonesian middle-class family, in the city of Jayapura. Tom works for a human rights organization, and Ana is a journalist. They have a daughter and it seems that their love for each other is constant. However, as the story evolves their relationship is torn by the demands of modern life, distractions of past loves, and the ongoing crisis in Papua where they are facing the torture and shooting of fellow activists. Even respected members of the community such as Theys Eluay were not free from harm. The Chairman of ‘Presidium Papua’, elected in the second Congress of the People of Papua in 2000, died mysteriously in November 2001.

The Papua that the two chief protagonists return to, after studying in Yogyakarta, is a place where repression by the police and the army has become an everyday fact of life. Ana is driven to study the history of her people, and she discovers that many of the Papuan intellectuals have died at the hand of the Indonesian Special Forces Command, now known as Kopassus.

Translator Toni Pollard cleverly explains the story without giving away the plot, within the synopsis published in the Ubud Festival’s Bilingual Anthology of Indonesian Writing, Voices of the Archipelago: “A series of sorrows erode Ana’s hopes for her future as she witnesses the cruelty and barbarity of the Indonesian National Army (TNI) towards her fellow Papuan civilians. Papuan women were harassed and raped. Tragically the children conceived from the rapes lost their familial roots because they were the offspring of TNI thugs who attacked their villages.” It is one of these children, fathered in rape, which Aprila refers to in her title “The Black Rose without Roots.” Aprila’s straight-forward Indonesian writing style gives her story a refreshing clarity, as she describes the life of Tom and Ana, using flashbacks to their student lives and loves, as they traverse the jarring realities of political turmoil that threaten to overwhelm the people of Papua. This novel not only brings the story of the suffering of the Papuan people to light, it also offers an insider’s view of the political problems that the largest province of Indonesia is currently suffering. The strong presence of emerging Indonesian writers, selected by a curatorial board based on the quality of their submitted works, has become a signature element of the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. This year the festival received submissions from 279 writers from every corner of the archipelago. The works of the 16 selected writers have been translated and published into a bilingual anthology — but in the case of the novels, due to time restrictions only a synopsis can be included. Unfortunately this novel has yet to be translated into English, but I am thinking of volunteering for the job, as it is an important book about a part of history that has never been resolved. It remains a sad political reality that Indonesia, in spite of its proudly touted democratic government, has treated this valuable province with its unique tribal cultures and languages as if it were an outpost to be colonized and exploited, rather than a treasure of ancient cultures that need aid to develop into the future as an integral part of the nation, and in doing so continues to alienate and infringe upon the human rights of its people.

This year, Jayapura was among the six cities that were targeted for the satellite literary events of the Festival. However, the organizers acknowledge that due to limited funding it had to postpone the satellite program in Jayapura. “Due to the limited budget, we had to change the satellite program in Papua into the local launching of the festival’s anthology instead of sending international authors there,” Kadek Purnami, Ubud Writers & Readers Festival’s Community Development Manager says with regret. Aprila has already completed a second novel and is presently seeking a publisher. Here is a voice we are likely to hear more from in the future, a voice that has much to share. About the Author: Aprila Wayar was born in Jayapura 28 years ago.

UBUD WORLD CLASS ‘SPIRIT’ FESTIVAL

Ranked one of Asia’s Top Six Music Festivals, next month’s Ubud’s BaliSpirit Festival has spawned a new genre of festivals – known worldwide as the “spirit” festival - with its unique combination of Yoga, Dance, and World Music. This year’s night concert line-up is the best to date with headliners Oka (Australia), Nahko & Medicine for the People (USA), and Rupa & the April Fishes (USA), sharing stage with artists from the grasslands of Mongolia (Ajinai) and the Finnish tundra (Sauna), as well as homegrown talent, including Dialog Dini Hari and Çudamani. M a r c h 2 0 - 2 4 . B u y t i c k e t s a t w w w. balispiritfestival.com. YEAR OF THE SNAKE The Chinese New Year started this month; it is the year of the water snake, a time of transformation, so you have the universe’s help to shed old skin and replace it with a sparkling, shimmering new you. Talk to Indian teacher and healer, Punu, about his next “Oneness Blessing” workshop at the Yoga Barn. Over two days Punu helps to shed many old layers, heal the heart and resolve sour relationships, especially with parents, former partners, children. And yourself. Seek out Punu at the Barn’s sunset meditation, Friday 5-6.30pm. LOVE AND OTHER BRUISES Yet another reason to venture over to Bernadette’s Warung on Jalan Raya Mas – a truly splendid exhibition by Khan Wilson, whose “Love and Other Bruises” explores his fascination with life’s brighter and darker sides. Khan’s strong use of line and flowing forms reflect an exceptional drawing ability. His art is mostly hopeful with a positive message but sometimes there’s a darker side there, in disguise. The exhibition is at Bernadette’s from February 22 until March 13. For more info, contact Khan on 081246059885 or visit http://funkykhanart. page4.me/. DEAD BATTERIES KILL Congratulations to non-profit group U.G.L.E. (Ubud Gang Who Love the Environment) for arranging Ubud drop-off points for old batteries. A young boy was killed earlier this year when a mobile phone battery exploded in his neighbor’s burning rubbish. Besides the threat of instant death, burning metals release volatile metal and chemical compounds, putting appalling and unnecessary noxious fumes into our environment. There are boxes at Kuluk Gallery in Lungsiakan for free collection (donations accepted), at Pizza Bagus (small fee) and Kagemusha Restaurant. Bali Recycling will collect the used batteries and will recycle them safely. Please tell everyone about this service and collect batteries from your friends and neighbors. For more information, call 0812394-12539. ACEH YOUTH CENTRE OPENS Fifty young men and women living on the posttsunami coast of Aceh have started classes at the newly finished Bumi Sehat Youth Centre. The AusAID-funded Australian Volunteers in Development (AVID) program placed a volunteer for more than a year to work with the local community and the staff of Bumi Sehat’s Aceh health clinic, planning and fund-raising for the centre. The volunteer - Ubud resident Jen Richardson - says most of these 15-25 year olds lost all their extended family in the tsunami and have lived with only the support of similarly stricken neighbours since. “These enthusiastic and

How to Double Your Profits and Save Your Life Cash flow is the only real focus point for your small business. It’s a mistake to focus on sales volume because it’s not what you make that is important, it’s what you keep. What you keep is what fuels the next cycle of purchases and operating costs that sells more and ensures you can handle growth. How do you know if you have a cash flow problem? Check out your Net Margin. This is the percentage of cash you keep compared with what you make in sales. So if you keep Rp 5 million on Rp 100 million of sales, your Profit Margin is 5%. If you are earning less than 10% Net Margin then you can be pretty sure you have a cash flow problem. If your sales are increasing and your profit is increasing but your Margin is decreasing then you have a future cash flow problem. Around 90% of small businesses are operating with a Net Margin of less than 10%, but many don’t know it. Most businesses don’t measure what’s important. Margin focuses on your profit in real terms. So how can you double it? The easy way, not the hard way. The way that frees up your time, not creating longer hours and more work. When I ask a group of people what is the best way to double the amount of money they make, the usual responses are to either open more sales outlets or increase the range of products they sell. Because I am basically lazy I disagree with them. I don’t like unnecessary hard work. I like to work smarter, not harder. The first thing to recognize is that any increase in sales price or any decrease in costs – both of these flow directly to the bottom line. An increase in sales volume usually increases expenses as well as sales, and creates extra work. Let’s take a hypothetical case of a typical small business with a sample profit analysis: Sales 100,000 Cost of Sales 60,000 Gross Profit 40,000 Gross Margin 40% Operating Expenses 30,000 Net Profit 10,000 Tax (25%) 2,500 Net Profit after Tax 7,500 Profit Margin 7.5% There are six key things you can do to increase your profits. Most of them cost nothing and are not hard. 1. Raise your prices. 2. Improve your conversion rates. 3. Increase your average sale. 4. Generate more leads. 5. Plug the leaks: a. increase your staff productivity b. reduce your direct costs (ie cost of sales) c. reduce your overheads (ie operating expenses) d. fix your non-performers 6. Increase your volume This issue we will look at the first four options you can use to double your profits. Option 1 – raise your prices. • Very rarely will a 10% increase in prices be noticed by your customers. Very, very few if any will stop buying. Better yet, the few that do stop are usually the customers who cause you the most grief and you are most happy to see go. Now with our example above, that extra 10,000 flows straight to the bottom line and immediately doubles your profit and your margin goes to 13.6%. Option 2 – improve your conversion rates. • With one client we started measuring conversion rates of shop visitors to sales and showed the shop staff. The rate then was 28%. Without doing a single other thing the rate quickly climbed to 35%, just because shop staff were aware and tried harder. Add training in customer behaviour (Google DISC) plus some discount sales strategies and we went to 48%. That was a 71% increase in conversions without spending a cent after initial training costs. We will be conservative and allow for a 30% sales increase. This can still be improved. A good product with good sales people can convert qualified leads at around 80%.

Is there an aspect of developing a successful business you would like me to write about? Email:Graeme@stevens.com.au Copyright © 2013 Graeme Stevens

• Discount sales really work – they get more people into your store and convert more visitors into buyers. Your sales will do even better when your price tag shows both the old price and the sale price. Same works for wholesale catalogs. Combine these sales strategies. • With menus, people’s eyes typically go to the top right corner, and that’s where the best profit margin items should be, Option 3 – increase your average sale. • Max out on cross-selling and up-selling. If you are not already making the most of these sales techniques, here’s some examples you can immediately use: • Over 30% of people who have just bought are respon sive to an immediate offer, especially for a related item. That’s why supermarkets have lots of small value items just near the cash register. Try it. Your typical up-selling item is typically of lesser value, so let’s convert that 35% of customers to 10% sales value increase, converting to approximately 4% net margin increase. • One nursery famously said, we are not in the business of selling plants, we are in the business of selling holes. The hole takes the plant, a watering system, fertilizer, support stakes, how-to books and generates a desire for similar holes. Similarly, a florist just selling flowers is missing out on the opportunity to sell décor. • Do you have a sign in your business that tells people you accept credit cards? A Visa or MasterCard sign has been shown to make people more amenable to purchase. • Put more focus on items that encourage companion selling. Do you sell jewelry and have matching pendants and bracelets for your earrings? • Understand the way that psychology pricing works: o Change your pricing strategy. Studies have shown that prices ending in 9 (but not 09) can increase sales by over 20%. That’s when people are buying on value. If they are buying for quality then prices ending in zero are more effective. o Offer packages of product, but include a nonsense middle point item at the same price but of lesser value that helps reinforce the value of the package. o Offer service policy options where a shorter period is obviously not as much value. o Offer anchor point products – these are high priced items that tend to make the rest of the range seem infinitely reasonable. The Rp 100k hamburger sells lots of Rp 70 K steaks, the high priced vitamin suplement helps sell lots more of the mid-range ones. o Improving the décor of your retail outlet reduces complaints of high prices and gives the impression that your range is much more reasonably priced. With one client a Rp 100 million redecorating investment was recouped within 8 months and complaints dropped by over 90 percent. Option 4 – generate more leads. • What sort of incentives are you offering your existing customers to generate leads for you? Not cash, but some form of present that has a much higher perceived value than it’s actual cost. • Who can you partner with? We want another business that has lots of leads already that you could take advantage of. And we need to give them back an offer to good to refuse. • Advertising is the most common form of generating leads. Can you measure how cost-effective your advertising is? Do you use special phone numbers and email addresses, or different website landing pages to measure effectiveness? • Use Facebook and your web blog and twitter to generate more leads. • A 30% increase in leads would generate approximately a 15% increase in sales, based on our 48% conversion rate. What is the impact of applying just a part of these four options on our sample business? Note I added 25% more expenses to cover the additional staff for the increased workload. Our Net Profit didn’t just double! It went up four times, while our Net Margin nearly tripled. Note how the increases compound on each other. It’s the cumulative effect that is key.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

WHY WE SHOULD INVEST IN GOLD Gold as a relatively rare, attractive and indestructible metal has been highly prized and coveted since time immemorial. In Greek mythology King Midas loved it so much he wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. His wish was granted but it backfired somewhat when his food and drinks and finally even his beloved daughter turned into gold.

Buy coins or bars from a dealer

Last month Germany’s Bundesbank announced it planned to repatriate gold reserves held abroad, pulling a chunk from New York and all its bullion from Paris. Most of the reserves were sent abroad for safety during the Cold War. Interestingly Germany, unlike Britain, Switzerland and France, did not sell any of its gold when it was out of fashion and of less value. As a result, it now sits on substantial reserves. There is a lesson for investors here; very often when everyone else is selling, you should be holding or even buying. Successful investors are usually the ones with the patience and ability to hang in for the long term.

But where should you store your gold? If you are talking about a serious quantity it is probably not a good idea to keep it in Bali if you are a foreigner. It will pose a security risk if it is kept at home and if you are holding it in fear of social unrest or financial meltdown you may find that bank vaults are not accessible in an emergency. I would add that this is an unlikely scenario but if your aim is to protect yourself against extreme events there are better places to hold it. It is possible for example to buy gold coins and bars at arms’ length in the UK where they can be safely stored and insured and also accessible to you at any time. As with any investment, take care and check out fully the company you are dealing with.

How much have gold prices risen? In 1970 gold stood at $37 an ounce, in 2000 it was $273 and today it stands around $1,670 an ounce. So why is gold so valuable? As with any other asset, the price of gold is driven by the forces of supply and demand. Gold is considered a safe haven when there is turmoil in financial markets or serious political unrest anywhere in the world. Countries are losing confidence in currency reserves and paper money. The US in particular is striving to revive its economy with stimulus measures such as quantative easing, a fancy name for printing money. You cannot print gold on the other hand so the precious metal should automatically rise in value as more money is printed. It therefore acts as insurance against the devaluation of money and as a protection against inflation. Apart from that it has a number of practical uses in industry including IT and dentistry, not to mention its part in the huge jewelry market. Add to this the fact that there is a limited amount of gold left to be mined, coupled with the high cost of extraction and processing, plus the political, environmental and social issues facing the mining industry and it becomes pretty clear that the future supply of new gold is likely to be very limited.

C/BT/I-21 March 12

Certain gold coins are not only widely recognized; they are also legal tender in their home countries. Small gold bars which have been properly minted and registered are easy to store and trade.

Gold Jewelry Much prized, particularly by ladies throughout the world, jewelry has a special place in India where the downturn in the economy does not appear to have dampened demand. Care should be taken when buying to ensure the purity of the gold. Where the value of the gold is concerned be aware that there is a very high mark-up in jewelry so if times are hard and you have to melt it down don’t expect to get anything like the price you paid for it, unless you have held it a very long time. And gentlemen, don’t expect your wife to stand by and watch while you melt it down! Buy gold bullion through a mutual fund

This is one way to invest in the physical product without actually taking delivery or having to worry about storage and insurance. All that is taken care of but you still have to cover the cost through fund charges. Cashing in your gold is just same as cashing in any regularly traded mutual fund. For those who wish to diversify there are also precious metals funds that combine gold with other metals such as silver and platinum. Invest in mining stocks or funds

But is there a downside to investing in gold? Yes there is, as you might expect with any kind of investment! You cannot buy gold one day and expect to make a profit as soon as the price has gone up say 5%. Costs can include those of marketing, distribution, brokerage, manufacturing (into bars or coins), storage and insurance. And while the price of gold has undeniably risen over the years there are periods when the price falls sharply. Gold should be seen therefore as a long term investment. For example, the average price in 1980 was $615 an ounce although it actually hit a peak (during one of history’s many Middle East crises) of over $800 an ounce. It then fell sharply and remained below $400 for many years. It wasn’t until 2007 that the average price exceeded that of 1980, over a quarter of a century later! Every now and again I have to point this out to clients who have read a doomsday newsletter (usually emanating from the US) and who ask me if they should sell all their investments and switch into gold. But there is still strong case for gold The strongest case for gold right now is not an Armageddon situation or major political or economic crisis, although the latter could spark a spike in the price at any time. The factor most likely to drive up the price is the continuing degradation of currencies and uncertain impact this could have on global stock and bond markets. But how much of your savings should you allocate to gold? From an asset allocation point of view most experts would agree that a holding of between 5% and 10% would be reasonable. But how can you buy gold? Below are some of the options.

This is another way to access the gold market but is a little more speculative, particularly if you invest in individual mining companies. A mining fund would be less risky as it will invest in a range of companies with geographical diversity. There are a number of well-established international funds. As a general rule, mining shares will rise more rapidly than the price of gold when the latter is rising but fall faster when it is on the way down, reflecting the fixed overheads. Buy a metal detector!

This is not recommended unless you have many years with nothing else to do and you like wandering in open spaces. It did work however last month for a prospector in Australia who unearthed a staggering 5.5 kilogram gold nugget worth at least $300,000. If you came across a similar find you might have some explaining to do when you bring it back through Customs! It would be far better to keep your day job and tuck a little bit of your savings into gold the conventional way.

SPORT SHORTS BASKETBALL NEWS Bali International School Fifth Annual Basketball Tournament: Santo Yoseph Executes the Clean Sweep Santo Yoseph took both the boys’ and girls’ trophies home at the BIS Invitational Basketball Tournament finals on Sunday after pulling off oddly similar triumphs in their respective final games. The tournament’s fifth edition featured some spirited basketball, exciting games, and demonstrated the wonderful camaraderie that exists between high school players and teams around south Bali. It also allowed the Bali Para-games 2013 to get some exposure during the opening ceremony on Thursday afternoon. The games will be held at BIS in July. This weekend was all about the basketball once the ceremony had finished. Fifteen teams from 8 schools competed, and it came down to the undefeated (7-0) Soverdi girls playing Santo Yoseph, whom they had soundly beaten in the group stage a day prior. A hard-fought game left Soverdi on the short end of a 27-16 score. The boys’ final was replete with high drama, as both teams played for their first BISIBT title. Santo Yoseph fell behind early to the previously undefeated BIS A-team (5-0), but due to some clutch three-point shooting, Santo Yoseph took a lead they never relinquished just before halftime. The final score of 38-29 left the BIS players and supporters in shock. Given that BIS had beaten Santo Yoseph in the group stage on the very same court only 27 hours prior, they were certainly the favourites for the championship. The fifth annual BIS tournament was another great success, and provided some superb sporting entertainment for the Sanur community over the entire weekend. All players merit sound congratulations for their effort and sporting spirit. RUNNING NEWS Bali Marathon to draw 4,000 runners BII major sponsor of the BII Maybank Bali Marathon has announced that around 4,000 local and international participants are expected to take part in the BII Maybank Bali Marathon to be held in Gianyar regency on June 16. Online registration opened on Jan. 31 at www.balimarathon. com.

Dato’ Khairussaleh Ramli, president of PT BII, as quoted by Antara news agency, told the press on Sunday that the online registration was aimed at providing easy access for professional and amateur runners from all over the world to participate in this international sports activity. The Bali Marathon will have three categories — the 42.195-kilometer full marathon, a half marathon and a 10-kilometer marathon. There will also be a Children’s Sprint. He said that the routes for the full and half marathons in Gianyar had been certified by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races and had an International Measurement Certificate SURFING NEWS

Reflecting Bali’s growing popularity as a sports venue, the governing body of World Surfing ASP International has announced the sanctioning of the Oakley Pro Bali at Keramas on between 18-29 June as an ASP World Championship Tour (WCT) license for 2013. The event will be the fifth of 10 events on the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour and the first elite tour event in Indonesia since the Rip Curl Pro Search in 2008. “We are very excited about the addition of the Oakley Pro Bali to the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour schedule,” Renato Hickel, ASP WCT Manager, said. “This will be the first ASP World Title-deciding event at Keramas, an internationally-recognized venue of high-performance surfing, and we look forward to the ASP Top 34 doing battle there for years to come.” While the righthand reef break of Keramas will serve as the primary venue, Oakley has green lit the performance-oriented beachbreaks of nearby Canggu as a backup location. The Indonesian island paradise is a recognized host to a bevy of world-class breaks, making the Oakley Pro Bali one of the most anticipated events of the 2013 schedule. “Keramas, to me, is the most high-performance wave on the planet,” Jordy Smith, current ASP WCT surfer, said. “Oakley have had their world junior event there for a few years and I’m glued to the computer every time it’s on. To have the Top 34 there, it’s going to be a huge challenge for the judges as the performances are going to be next level. This is really exciting.” For full list of sports please go to http://www.balisportmag. com

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) The first time we tried this I was jettisoned back to Thailand. It has that unmistakable sweet, sour, salty, savory Thai taste that surprises the palate. The tofu gives it protein and texture. See the last issue for Basic Baked Tofu used in this recipe. Thai Pumpkin and Tofu Soup Serves 3-4 Ingredients: - 300 grams pumpkin - 3 1/2 cup vegetable soup stock - 10 lime leaves, torn in half - 60 grams baked tofu, cut into 1 cm. x 1 cm. pieces (see last BA issue) - 1 Tbl. palm sugar - 2 Tbl. soy sauce - 3 Tbl. lime juice - 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper - 2 chili peppers lightly crushed - 2 cups Thai or Italian basil loosely packed, then chopped

C/E/I-17 Oct 12

Directions: Take the seeds out of the pumpkin and cut it into four pieces. Cut off the skin and thinly slice the pumpkin so you have long curving slices. Heat the stock in a pot big enough to hold all the ingredients. When it is hot add the lime leaves and bring to a boil. Add the pumpkin, tofu, palm sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, black pepper, and chilies. Stir well. If you prefer a milder soup take the chilies out after 3-5 minutes. When the pumpkin is cooked add the basil leaves and cook just until they are wilted. Serve. Note: The above is a low fat version. If you want a more authentic Thai version cut the soup stock down to 2 3/4 cups and add 3/4 cup (200 mls.) of coconut milk. ‘Kor hai aroi na ka’ - that’s Thai for ‘Enjoy your meal’

The Jembrana Palace W a l k i n g through the Kori Agung, the huge raised main gate, I emerged into the quiet interior of the palace. The g r o u n d s possessed a sleepy air with shady trees, d u s t y walkways and patches of grass growing between paving stones. The air hung suspended in the still heat of the early afternoon. A few children played in the yard of the servant’s quarters, brightened with mats of yellow corn laid out to dry and scrawny chickens scratching in the flat gray dirt. The venerable older residences with their deep open tiled terraces, faded lacquer cabinets and vintage black & white photographic portraits gracing the walls, exuded a feeling of genteel age and reflected the eclectic mix of architectural styles of Balinese palaces. Though several buildings were in the process of renovation, no workers or owners could be found. Although Bali’s palaces share many physical similarities, the relative status and titles among the palace rajas, court etiquette, customs and d r e s s o f residents, ritual obligations and t y p e s o f buildings, pavilions and decorations differ in each to a remarkable degree. Neither wealthy nor powerful, Jembrana never played an important role in Balinese politics, remaining barely civilized for hundreds of years while the rest of Bali blossomed with court culture. The most westerly of Balinese kingdoms, the rugged, thinly populated region is lined with rocky, black-sand beaches pounded by high surf. A 15th century Balinese chronicle records that Jembrana came under the jurisdiction of the faraway Gelgel dynasty. Two princes were sent by the king to civilize the wild western wilderness, establishing separate courts near present-day Jembrana and Gilimanuk. The princes vied with each other over who could develop the most prosperous principality, their intense sibling rivalry eventually erupting into a full-scale civil war that destroyed both courts. Jembrana then slipped into obscurity until 1803, when another court developed in presentday Negara a few kilometers west. From the early 17th century to the early 19th century, Bali remained largely obscure in the West because of its lack of spices, fragrant woods, ivory, natural harbors, and its natural geography surrounded by deep straits and treacherous tidal currents. These factors tended to isolate the island from the extensive international trade that swirled around it. But the island soon attracted notice because of its astonishingly rich coastal plains in the south and its vital position at the beginning of the Lesser Sunda Islands to the east. In 1849, one of the largest Dutch military expeditions ever organized in the archipelago defeated Balinese forces on the north coast. After Dutch forces invaded southern Bali in 1906, the Europeans controlled the entire island, the political authority passing from Bali’s native rulers into the hands of Dutch controleurs, colonial-era viceroys. The glorious Bali-Hindu theater-state, so jealously guarded and preserved for more than a thousand years, came to a bitter end. At the time of Holland’s final conquest, the entire southern drainage of the island was politically divided into nine small but powerful rajadoms administered by semi-autonomous lords and their officials. Each of these principalities - Klungkung, Karangasem, Mengwi, Badung, Bangli, Tabanan, Gianyar, Buleleng and Jembrana - was separated by sharply demarcated borders and each competed for the loyalty, support and

deference of the population. Jembrana was placed under the direct administration of the Netherlands East Indies government in 1882. Palace Interior: Architectural Highlights The modest Jembrana Palace, though occupying a small area in comparison to its far wealthier and older counterparts to the east, nevertheless contains all the elements of a fully constituted Balinese palace or puri. The term puri originates from a Sanskrit word used in ancient India meaning “walled city” or “towered city.” During the development of the Balinese language the term pura came to refer to a religious temple complex, while the term puri came to refer to palace, the residence of kings and nobles. Made up of walls, gates, passageways, pavilions, functional spaces, altars, sheds, sculptures, the spatial layout of a puri is generally square. The most obvious feature is that the whole space is divided into several large blocks. Similar to a Javanese kraton, five major types of spaces comprise the palace: religious, cameral, civic, residential and profane. As in the temple the four directions of the Balinese compass are critical in determining the layout and positioning of buildings. The most sacred structures, such as the palace’s core-line temple, are to the east and north, mountain-ward, and the most profane are to the south and west, seaward. The well-developed Balinese science of divination, recorded on ancient palm leaf lontar, is known as the Asta Kosala Kosali (The Balinese Architectural Code) – the Balinese system of feng-shui. Through it the builders are able to determine the best place to locate the kitchen, the kulkul alarm tower, the wantilan cockfi ghting arena and the palace’s main family pavilion (bale gede). If a family is suffering misfortune, the first place the balian (diviner) will look for are any unwitting violations of the Balinese laws of building. The science of building is held to be sacred knowledge and traditional Balinese architects are known by the distinguished title of undagi. These native builders assure that the confines of a puri are divided into public areas where people assemble, the royal residences where the king meets with notables of the realm, where marriages are arranged, where ritualized petitions are received and where documents are signed. All around me the various reception pavilions (bale) and viewing pavilions were flanked by canopied shade trees. A separate courtyard in the back contained the offering-making pavilions and temple kitchens. The main compound for family members, called the loji, 100 meters further along on the right after entering, has been built in the modern quasi-Balinese-Dutch architectural style. Three wooden rice storage sheds ( l u m b u n g ) , positioned midway and in the rear of the puri, are built in the traditional style with rough-hewn t i m b e r e d substructures, the thatch on their steep roofs having been long ago replaced by iron sheeting. The size and number of lumbung is an indication of the wealth of the family, three being an indication that the rajadom at least at one time held substantial rice lands under cultivation. Within a few generations the wood rots and the structure fi nally collapses, so these types of granaries are becoming rare. The most lavish attention has been paid to the palace’s own chapel, as elaborate as a village temple, located in an elevated area at the top of a stairway behind the family residences. As can be found in any well-to-do family, this temple complex

(piasan) is a walledin enclosure consisting of an altar f o r o ff e r i n g s a n d grass thatched shrines dedicated to deified ancestral spirits, to the holy mountains (Gunung Batur and Gunung Agung), and the interpreter of the gods. Take note of two beautiful wayang-style paintings in this devotional area. In one intricate painting, the beloved court clowns Gareng and Petruk are visible on the right and Semar and Bagong are positioned on the left. The obvious representation of fi re, in the lower portion of the painting, emanates from the head of Lord Brahma himself, and depicts the royal cremations (pelebon) of previous rajas. Directly above are Para Dewa and Malaikat from the story of Betara Kala, the god of the underworld. The small figures hovering in the center are family members. Lord Siwa is seen to the left and the god Vi s h n u i s t o t h e right. The second painting, with a blue background, is taken from an episode of the Mahabharata poem about an Aryan king in the Indian Vedic age (1500-500 B.C.). The hero Rama (Krishna reincarnated) is seen giving advice to the Pandawa Brothers before a tremendous 18-day battle is to take place between two rival family groups. This Indian masterpiece, translated by Vyasa in the Middle Ages, was carried to Indonesia by learned high-caste Brahmans and incorporated into existing native wayang theater forms. Due to the conflict between the two royal brothers, the culture of the Jembrana regional court never developed to a high degree. Moreover, many of the regency’s inhabitants are Muslim traders and fishermen. In Jembrana, mosques outnumber Hindu temples by five to one, and inland areas are home to Bali’s strongest and most populous rural Christian communities. Nevertheless, the Jembrana ruling class has always felt it imperative to demonstrate their knowledge of the great Hindu epics. The ruler’s fondness for the mythical Hindu stories, which play such a gigantic part in Balinese literature, art and theater, are beautifully represented in these paintings. Leaving as quietly as I came through the great splitgate, an artificial mountain straight out of Indic m y t h o l o g y, I slipped from the cool sacred space of the puri and emerged again onto the far less holy region of the street where my car’s seats and dashboard burned under the fierce sun.

ARDEN DOCTOR

by The Garden Doctor

by Dr. Kris

Mounting and Hanging Orchids

“I have many orchids in my garden and I have often seen them in nurseries and other gardens growing on rocks or even hanging. My question is, do you have some tips on how to mount an orchid? I’ve never tried this before. I need advice on what material would work, and how to secure the plant without damaging it? Thanks in advance! Peter” One of the great pleasures of growing plants is experimenting with alternative growing techniques. Most commercially grown orchids are epiphytes (growing on trees) or lithophytes (growing on rocks) when growing in the wild, thus they will readily take to a mounting as it is a natural way for them to grow. Growing this way will also add an aesthetically pleasing quality to your home and garden.You could also try this method with bromeliads or even some types of ferns. Orchids can be grown on various surfaces, including tree fern bark, hardwood, cork, terracotta tile, broken pots, rocks (lava rock retains a lot of moisture), logs, bamboo, bark, branches, coconut fibres or shells, bamboo off-cuts or even living trees. Practically anything can be used, some people even use driftwood washed up on the beach (if so, make sure you soak in water first to leach all the salt out before you use it.) The first step is to find something good to use as a mounting. Once you get started, you will always be on the look out for good mounting material. The ideal mount would be rot resistant, salt free and contain no chemical treatment. Softwood like untreated pine will rot very quickly. Tree fern fibres, hardwood planks, logs and rocks are probably the easiest of options, and you could probably find these materials easily within your own garden. You can purchase tree fern or tree bark boards and other mounting materials at some nurseries. I came across a dead staghorn fern, which I have recycled to make some mounting boards, as well as some logs and rocks that I found in the garden. If you use a log you could mount various types of orchids on one piece, and either lay this flat across the garden, or hang it vertically for a stunning effect. For a novice the easiest place to start is to mount to fern bark, wood planks, or a rock. The mount should be in balance with the plant, leaving room for it to grow into its natural shape. The orchid will grow roots into and around whatever it is mounted upon. Note that it is always easier to start with smaller specimens, they will be lighter and by the time they grow and mature their roots will be firmly wrapped around the mount. Smaller specimens adapt by rapidly forming a specialised root system, developing hard strong roots that serve as holders alone in conjunction with softer roots for absorbing nutrients. Larger plants previously grown in soil have already developed larger soft root systems that will need frequent watering just to sustain the plant, and they will also take longer to establish a secure position. Some types of orchid establish more easily than others. Try starting with brassavola, oncidium, cattleya, or dendrobium. For mounting bromeliads try tillandsias, billbergias, neoregelias, and aechmeas. Once you have selected your orchid take it from the soil and carefully wash or shake off the excess soil from around its roots. Then place your orchid against the mounting board or rock, finding a suitable placement position, as shown in the picture. Once you have the arrangement decided, cover the roots with moss or any

other fibrous absorbent organic material. (I personally use fern fibres or whatever else is available in the garden, such as decaying bamboo leaves). Adding absorbent organic material not only ensures adequate hydration to the roots, reducing transplant shock, but also protects the roots in the tie down process. Once the roots have been covered simply tie the plant on to the rock or board by looping over the covered roots, to secure them to the mount. Over time the moss or whatever organic material you have used, falls off or can be pulled off at the time that the orchid is established and firmly attached to its mount. It is possible to mount your orchids without any moss or root covering, just be careful not to damage the roots when tying on, Plants mounted in this way will also require more frequent watering, and will do well mounted on a wall near a shower. When mounting, make sure the orchid is tied tight, roots will not attach to the mount if the plant is loose. You can use anything to tie the plant to its mount, such as fishing line, twine, string, wire, shoelaces, or even pantyhose. I have used bright twine (see picture) in this example, but if you are worried about immediate appearance you could use fishing line as it is invisible and looks natural from a distance, though it can be difficult to tie on initially and can also damage roots if it is tied to tightly. Personally I use whatever I have, as all the ties will be removed or cut away once the plant is securely attached. When mounting for the first time, try and get a partner to help you, by holding the plant into position whilst you tie it on, this can save a lot of hassles and frustration. Remember, if you’re tying the orchid to a growing plant, don’t use anything that will constrict the growth or cut into the limbs of the host plant. Humidity is the biggest factor to consider for growing mounted orchids. There is minimal potting material to hold and absorb water. They will require water more frequently and for longer, giving the roots the opportunity to get a soaking. It is almost impossible to overwater a mounted orchid, though very easy to underwater one. Water your orchids at the same time as all other potted plants that require frequent watering. Another watering technique is to dip the orchid in a pond or even in a bucket of water, and leave them to absorb moisture for 10 minutes. Another tip is to keep a spray bottle of water nearby to give a regular misting on hot or windy days, to keep them from drying out. A newly mounted orchid should be kept moist, in a shady location for a few of weeks until it acclimatises. After this you can move it to the location where you will be growing it. Hang them wherever you like, on a wall, overhead from the rafters or trees, even in the shower or bathroom. If mounted on a rock they can be placed near water features, on tables indoors, or around any other focal point of the garden.

20 February - 06 March, 2013

“Hairy Hands” I note that the people of Jakarta are looking forward to relief from their traffic woes with a monorail system and elevated roads. It sounds like, after decades of worsening problems, there might be solutions in sight for the poor beleaguered and somewhat damp people of our capital city. One has to wonder who on earth would develop a capital city in an area that is below sea level. It couldn’t be anything to do with Indonesia’s colonial past could it. Perhaps the colonisers of Indonesia had been brought up in a far away distant country most of which is below sea level and whose natives only feel comfortable with the constant threat of being overtaken by the sea. Perhaps with their extensive experience they have also found some answers. Of course, windmills, dykes, wooden shoes that float and an army of little boys ready to put their fingers in any leaks that might suddenly spring. I’ll give Jokowi a ring. In the meantime I note some bright spark has suggested that a metro might be a good idea. A metro? An underground railway? Now that really is a brilliant idea. I can picture the rush hour, people on their way to work hurrying for the stairs only to find water lapping just below the top step. “Flooded? Flooded? Why is our wonderful new Metro flooded?” “I’m sorry sir but the pumps wouldn’t work.” “The pumps wouldn’t work? Please explain.” “Yes sir there was a blackout last night.” “Blackout? What about the backup generator?” “Erm.” “What do you mean erm?” “Well, er, someone forgot to order the solar.” “Couldn’t someone go out and buy some?” “Well, er yes we did but, er, well I don’t know how to tell you this.” “Come on spit it out man.” “Well, er, it wasn’t working anyway.” “The generator wasn’t working.” “No sir, there was no budget for maintenance, you see, so it wasn’t fixed the last time it broke down.” “Great.” “But it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.” “What do you mean, it wouldn’t have mattered?” “Well you see sir, someone saved some money and bought cheap pumps from his brother, they seized up a long time ago.” “Great, two hundred squillion dollars worth of railway knackered all for a bit of maintenance……...” Thank goodness Jakarta is starting to think sensibly about its problems, we should extend to the new Governor every good wish in his endeavours. Talking of floods though, we had a call. It was about a bathroom tap that was leaking, the owner had been watching the news and was afraid that a Jakartaesqe situation was imminent. The emergency team was dispatched only to return to regroup with news that this was going to be a little tricky. Apparently others had already tried and given up. Leaking was a bit of an understatement, the water was flowing like an incontinent camel. Some gorilla had turned both taps off with such force that the handles had parted company with the valves inside the taps, for those with a technical bent the splines on the handle shaft had been stripped; for those without such a boring mental preoccupation as a technical bent the water ran and the handles of the taps turned with about as much effect as trying to catch an elephant with fly paper. The problem was that the taps were on the rear edge of an expensive bath which in turn was mounted in a concrete plinth with some rather fancy tiles covering walls, floor, plinth and probably toilet seat as well. There was no way of getting to the taps to repair or replace them without breaking the tiles and removing the bath so the taps could be unscrewed from below. To add to the problem it was highly unlikely that the beautiful tiles could be matched, repairing the tilework would be very difficult. This is a rather stupid situation that is repeated in fancy residences all over Bali. Taps often fail through normal usage - the result of normal wear and tear. Add a few visiting gorillas to the mix and it becomes obvious that any architect worth his salt should, when designing that fancy bathroom, consider a strange and rarely heard of concept - maintenance. “Begger the water,” I hear them cry, “we can’t let such dreary considerations as repairs hinder the flow of the creative juices now can we?” Just as an interesting distraction you might (or might not) wish to go and have a look at your bathrooms, toilets and kitchen and ask the question, if a tap or a shower head should fail how will it be replaced? Will it involve the marble cutters and polishers on some distant Italian mountainside rubbing their hands in glee and saying “we’ve got a special order from a wealthy man in Bali who needs a small piece of cleopatra blue to match the rest of his bathroom, we’ve got him by the short and curlies.” In fact we did come up with a solution to our running taps without crossing the palms of Italian marble cutters. A hole was cut in the wall behind the taps from the bedroom next door. A nice decorative Balinese carved panel was used to cover the

hole so if there was a problem in the future the taps could again be reached and repaired. The owner of the house had wisely used good quality Toto tapware, spare parts were found and the 3 million rupiah set of taps did not have to be replaced. Taps that confuse do not last long in the hands of some hairy apes… with a grip like a banker holding onto his wallet (sorry I shouldn’t exaggerate) who knows full well that to turn a tap off you have to screw it down hard, if it dribbles, screw it down even harder. As we all know you turn taps to turn them on – and you turn them several times…….. Just a minute, no you don’t, you might have done when Adam was still in nappies but not these days. Modern taps have levers that go up and down or side to side. There are some that still rotate but only for a quarter of a turn. In fact the old screw down taps are still widely used in Australia and Britain and I recently had an Aussie asking me if I could find some, “you know, the ones with a tap washer”. Eventually I did mange to track some down. They were on some archaic display of washbasins and no longer available in Indonesia, remnants from a bygone era. But still that “screw it down hard” automatic reaction persists as anyone who runs a hotel or restaurant knows all too well. In one particularly troublesome restaurant we tried everything. We even tried the press down “button” type of taps that automatically switch themselves off after a few seconds. “Aha” we thought, “got it solved now” but we spoke too soon, within hours the thing was loose, the hairy handed brigade had tried to turn it and given it a sort of rotary freedom. We eventually settled on a quarter turn tap with a lever on the top. It still works.

C/BM/U-04 April. 12

So what is this all about? Until around 30 years ago taps across the world had a round rubber disk (a tap washer) inside which was pressed down by a screw thread with a handle on top. You unscrewed the handle which lifted the rubber disc and allowed the water to flow. To turn it off you turned the tap a couple of full turns to screw down the rubber washer and stop the flow. This arrangement had worked quite happily since before Adam was a lad but there was a problem. The hairy handed brigade would screw the things down so hard that they would tear the rubber disc and the tap would drip. Repairing tap washers was a constant necessity that kept plumbers across the world in regular work. Attempts were made to make tap washers that couldn’t be damaged, there were several designs some of which were fairly successful. Then someone came up with a different idea. The ceramic seated tap (sometimes known as the quarter turn tap) which had 2 carefully designed ceramic discs with holes through them. You turn the tap a quarter of a turn, the holes line up and the water flows. Being ceramic they were very wear resistant and lasted a long, long time. Three variations came from this design with the development of “mixer taps”. A mixer tap not only turns the water on and off but also controls the flow from hot and cold so you can adjust the temperature. As we all know these are widely used, originally in showers but these days also in kitchens and washbasins. The three variations are a rotating ball design with a stainless steel, brass or plastic ball; a cartridge design with a replaceable cartridge and a further development of the ceramic disc design. All work well and are far less trouble than the old screw down taps.

C/BM/I-09 Jan 13

Low quality, cheap taps widely available in Indonesia use a far more primitive design with a plastic ball inside. The ball has a hole through the middle so when you turn the lever on the top the ball turns through 90 degrees, the hole lines up with the pipe and allows the water to flow. These taps are often poorly made and don’t last long because the plastic balls wear. It doesn’t really matter if you haven’t understood a word of all this, what is important is: 1. When buying taps buy good quality ones because they will serve you well and shouldn’t need attention for many years. You should also check that you can get spare parts for them. You don’t have to go stupidly expensive but a single good quality tap will cost at least twice as much as a low quality one. 2. When you design your dream home or renovate your existing one make sure there is some way of getting to the plumbing fittings to repair them. Even the best quality taps can need repair or cleaning especially if you have aggressive grests or very hard water. 3. If you come across a man with large hairy hands tell him to keep his great hairy plates of meat well away from your precious taps. Phil Wilson Opinions expressed are those of Phil Wilson.

GREENSPEAK by Ibu Kat

MISCHIEF MOUNTAIN

A hundred years ago, the road that runs from Singaraja through Kintamani and south to Denpasar was the only way travelers could cross the island. Singaraja, Bali’s main port at that time, was the gateway to Bali for Dutch colonialists and early tourists. It was an arduous journey by car, climbing the north face of Mount Batur, running along the edge of the Batur caldera and then downhill all the way south to Denpasar. Most travelers paused in Kintamani to marvel at the cataclysmic event which had blasted open a 7.5 kilometer -wide crater 25,000 years ago. It’s still one of Bali’s most magnificent sights. In September 2012, UNESCO made Mount Batur Caldera part of the Global Geopark Network. Back in 1969 I drove a motorbike dreamily from Ubud to Kintamani through picturesque villages, past temples and rice fields. I was deep in the island’s magic. Arriving at the edge of the stunning caldera I dismounted to take a picture of the lava flow from the recent eruption of Mount Batur… and was immediately set upon by unrelenting touts trying to sell me sarongs and wood carvings. Not much has changed. “Kintamani -- aggressive touts, overpriced meals and local mafia that run everything from crater hikes to the illegal rock mining operations,” said a Balinese friend who declined to be named. “Everyone is on the make, from the guys taking your ‘entrance fee’ at the main road to your driver and guide demanding huge restaurant commissions.”

Kadek has a different vision for his legacy. An environmental engineer trained in New Zealand, his background includes eco-consulting with small towns in New Zealand, the WWF, Bali government and hotels. For Lakeview’s 50th anniversary next year, he plans to rebrand it as an ecolodge.

“The local paradigm for business is the cockfight,” he told me ruefully. “You must win in any way possible.” “I think it’s a natural part of the property’s evolution, reflecting Bali’s changing tourism market,” he said. “It was a homestay for 30 years, a hotel for 20 and now it will be an environmentally sustainable property. I want to attract eco-conscious people who like to eat, people who support the Learning Farm concept and who would like to be more engaged in the local environment. The accommodation and menus are being transformed. We offer a wide range of activities including climbing Mount Batur, bush walks, a visit to Trunyan, a walk/ cycle/paddle triathlon, visits to a local traditional blacksmith, cycling and picnics at an 18 hectare flower farm and visits to the hot pools in the crater. During coffee harvesting season in June to July, guests are welcome to join the harvest and learn the process of creating great coffee.”

“There’s not much leadership in Kintamani,” Kadek Krishna Adidharma told me on a recent visit. “Everyone wants to be boss and ignores the rules. Most still think in survival mode; anything is justified for short-term gains.”

In 2011 Kadek took over as General Manger of Lakeview, the third generation of his family to head this iconic property. His grandfather Mangku Darta was an entrepreneur, trading Bali cattle to Hong Kong until the red scare (hysteria over communism) made it impossible to continue. He returned the edge of the Batur crater to a patch of land his mother had carved from the forest, just as a new series of eruptions began to draw travelers to Kintamani. Mangku Darta began his new enterprise by serving them coffee from his terrace, which was perfectly situated to view the dramatic blasts that took place almost annually from 1963 through 1976. Soon he built a small homestay of teak huts, founding Kintamani’s first accommodation, and was the first operator to have boats taking visitors to the traditional village of Trunyan on the crater’s lake. Mangku Darta and his wife had travelled extensively all over Bali and recognized the island’s potential as a tourist destination. I learned that Kintamani’s women have been legendary traders for hundreds of years, walking all over Bali selling Javanese sarongs they bought from Singaraja, then the island’s capital. During the resistance against the Dutch occupation after the Second World War, these women of Kadek’s grandmother’s generation became couriers, carrying vital information around the island from one cell of resistance fighters to another with bundles of sarongs on their heads. The couple sent six of their eight children to university. Kadek’s father became the area’s first doctor and helped formalize and write the Desa’s awig awig (traditional law). After Mangku Darta’s death in the late 1970s, his children took turns to manage Lakeview. They expanded it, thinking big. The homestay grew into a 20-room hotel and a huge restaurant was built to accommodate 300 people in the days of big-bus tourism.

Kadek has been swimming against this current for almost two years. He has slashed commissions at Lakeview to a fair level and offers his guests an excellent buffet meal for Rp 88,000. But drivers and guides naturally continue to take their unsuspecting clients to places that offer bigger kickbacks. He persists, against family advice. “The local paradigm for business is the cockfight,” he told me ruefully. “You must win in any way possible.” I asked him about the ‘entry fee’ to the Mt Batur Geopark that drivers of cars and motorbikes are asked to pay at the corner of the main Kintamani crater road as they arrive from the north or south. I’ve heard of very high fees being demanded, but Kadek told me that the official fee for foreigners is Rp 10,000 government tax and Rp 1,000 village donation per passenger, a total of Rp 11,000 per person, and a ticket for each should be given. To encourage transparency, Lakeview had a yearlong promotion refunding the entry fee as a discount to guests who ate at Lakeview, only to find out that very few guests received tickets. They were more likely to be overcharged or short-changed instead. The staff at Lakeview is part of the legacy. Of the 95 people on the payroll, over half have been working with the property for over 20 years and some for almost 50. Initially puzzled by his refusal to adhere to the local business model, they are gradually coming to understand his philosophy of encouraging repeat customers. Lakeview has become a de facto training ground for Kintamani; parents planning to set up a business will send their kids here for work experience. “The staff know they have to change, the place needs to be updated and there are new ways of doing things. I’m trying to make changes at a pace to which people can adapt.”

It really is too bad. The views are sensational, and the air is clear and cool. This should be one of Bali’s premier visitor destinations, complete with a few environmentally-friendly boutique hotels and world-class restaurants overlooking that stunning vista. But petty local politics and ingrained rapacity have prevented thoughtful, international-level development.

We sat on a balcony of the Lakeview Hotel overlooking the vast caldera, the distant roar of trucks below loaded with illegally mined lava rock a constant reminder of his words.

for a buffet lunch. Kadek assures me that no more than Rp 55,000 of this goes into the business. The rest of the money is returned as kickbacks to drivers and guides -- a standard operating procedure in Kintamani.

A committed locavore, Kadek plans to feature a platter showcasing fresh ingredients from within a 15 kilometre radius of Kintamani including lake fish, pork, beef, chicken, rabbit and a wide range of vegetables, fruits and herbs. The kitchen makes its own jam, bread and pesto, and will soon be packaging and selling local Arabica coffee. Kadek’s project Batur Edible Landscapes (BEL), established to help market their chemical-free produce, is on hold while the kitchen is being renovated. One BEL event included the presentation of a huge edible model of Batur volcanos, lava field and lake made entirely of local produce.

“I feel lucky to have inherited the oldest tourism business in Kintamani, on land first cleared by a little old farmer lady,” said Kadek. “I feel that I’m nurturing something that will grow and bear fruit. It’s not easy establishing an ethical business here, but it will be healthier for the next generation if expectations are more realistic. I want to prove that NOT ripping off the tourists is more sustainable in the long term.” Can the vision of one idealistic Balinese change the mindset of a town? Kadek’s family have been change agents in Kintamani for three generations, and I’d like to think that legacy can continue. www.lakeviewbali.com

One of his challenges is retrofitting the old buildings, improving drainage and establishing rainwater collection. “Our biggest cost is the very high amount we pay for buying water, because it’s too costly for the government to pump it up here. In the last year we’ve put in waste water treatment, grey water recycling and improved our rainwater harvesting. There’s a lot of reluctance when I make these changes, but staff can now see and smell the improved quality of the environment.”

It’s not easy establishing an ethical business here, but it will be healthier for the next generation if expectations are more realistic Another challenge is the local mindset. Kintamani politics are complex and dark. The villages are ancient and so are the jealousies; territories have merged and overlapped. Increasing populations compete hard for resources, one of which is the lucrative tourist trade. At present, Lakeview is a microcosm of best practices in a town with a distinct Wild West flavour. Local gangs control tourist attractions like trekking and boating on Lake Batur, as well as the illegal stone mining. If TripAdvisor reviews are to be believed, restaurants that line the edge of the caldera charge visitors up to $50 per person

THE RASTA BABY CHRONICLES NC/CE/G-20 Feb. 13

You could have knocked me down with a feather when the Christmas faeries in their wisdom (they probably made a mistake in the seasonal rush) delivered unto me, completely unexpectedly, a ten week premature, 1.2 kg baby boy. Father Jamaican, deceased. Mother is from Java of Chinese descent. She’s quite lovely really, all willowy grace and serenity. There’s iron there also, stoic with a quiet strength and dignity combined with a strong faith and belief in God and his infinite goodness and wisdom. She was only supposed to be staying with me for a few days on her way back to Jakarta. Lo and behold come Christmas day come her waters also. Oh, along with baby Clemence Gabriel of course. They informed me at the hospital that his chances were slim and he’d need a month in an incubator at 300 bucks a day! Now anyone will tell you, I’m not backward at coming forward when it comes to spending a few quid. If I’ve got it I’ll spend it, which probably accounts for my present predicament. In fact if mismanaging financials was an Olympic event I’d be odds on favourite to take out the gold medal. I survive here in Bali these days on the most meager of pensions and my budget has been going steadily backwards in the last twelve months. One day in the incubator was enough to topple my fragile financial situation into an even more impossibly precarious state of affairs. Nine thousand dollars worth of incubator for the month was delving into the realms of complete fantasy. Charismatic doctor informs me the baby couldn’t survive outside of an incubator for more than a few hours, his chances minimal, miniscule in fact. So here am I all of a sudden, faced with a life or death decision. Mother looks to me imploringly, dazed and confused. It’s all happened so fast, this little fellow wasn’t due along until mid March. If I ran up the bill and couldn’t pay, it would have meant a possible trip to jail and deportation. They don’t mess around like that in Indonesia. Torn asunder emotionally, frustrated beyond belief, angry, freaked out, tired and disbelieving of what was actually taking place I tell him that there is no money for an incubator.

Meanwhile my friend Moka was conducting her Javanese juju about the place. She sprinkled salt around the outside of my house all the while muttering incantations that sounded like they came from somewhere approximately around the beginning of time. Placing cloves of garlic and onions at what she perceived to be strategically dodgy spots where demons intent on evil doings were lurking, unseen by my jaded Bule eyes. Doktor tidak Tuhan, or, doctor isn’t God, she said to me as she bade her farewells. For a day and a sleepless night the willing, pacing, singing etc continued before a miracle appeared from out of left field in the name of Putu. Putu runs an orphanage and school for Bali street kids and had heard of my plight thru a mutual friend. She bundled us all into a taxi and it was off to Sanglah hospital where she marched in, sweeping aside the minions that tried to block her passage, us surfing exhaustedly in her wake, and like a force of nature, which indeed she is, berates and cajoles the head of staff until baby Clemence is given incubation for a month, free of charge. Thanks Putu you are an angel, keep up the excellent, selfless work you and husband Michael do on a daily basis. Clemence is a month old today and he and his mum have been out of hospital and home at my place for three days. He’s strong, a survivor. Every morning at 7 a.m., I take him into the early morning sun to help with the remaining traces of jaundice. After morning feed and bath he lays naked on my chest, heart to heart, bony limbs spread akimbo about me. Kangaroo they call it here in Indonesia. He likes that a lot as do I, it’s a powerful form of bonding with this tiny fragile life, raising and falling with my breath as he gazes up at me with what I imagine to be rapt adoration. Well, it is my imagination is it not! My life has been spun around on a dime but I can’t quit now. I feel a powerful connection with this tiny being and I must do all that I can to see this little fellow grow strong and healthy. What the future holds for my little Rasta baby only God knows but we are like family now and will weather the storms and fair sailing of life together by providing him with the most important of ingredients, love.

Such are the harsh realities of life in the third world. As it turned out they did incubate the child for that first night. On the following day we all set off for my tiny cottage, the mood grim, expecting the baby to expire momentarily. I’m clutching the little fellow to me willing him to just keep on breathing, singing to him as I paced the floor to and fro, talking to him about whatever madness’s were going thru my tired head at that time.

I play him music from the rich catalogue of his father’s Jamaica, reggae, ska, dub, all of the old chestnuts. In my mind’s eye I imagine us visiting his dad’s island sometime in the future when he’s grown strong and proud on this one. Ah life! You couldn’t make it up could you?

SCHEDULE THAT Angels in High Heels (Wednesdays) I remember when this exclusive red carpet bar opened, another addition to the five star scene in Bali. Years ago, no one would have dreamed that Bali would play host to a highly successful Champagne bar but times have indeed changed and this venue is highly popular amongst tourists and locals alike. Very generously on Wednesday evenings, you can enjoy free cocktail shots. If you haven’t been to this bar, it is definitely worth a visit as the service is super, the nibbles scrumptious and it is full of beautiful people in a beautiful place. The name of this bar is all about excitement, expectation, glamour, new clothes, fancy drinks, happy people, exclusive snacks, best service, beautiful people all features of the Red Carpet. This is definitely going on down at this bar which has secured its spot as part of Bali’s exclusive scene. Check out Wednesdays as you are sure to meet the Angels in High Heels too. When : 8 pm Where : Red Carpet Champagne Bar, Jl Oberoi NO 42c, Seminyak Contact : 737889 www.redcarpetchampagnebar.com

Bali Spirit Festival (20 - 24 March) Bali plays host to some fabulous festivals and the Bali Spirit Festival is no exception. Described as a spiritually charged event featuring yoga, dance, music with a global audience, this is a festival that celebrates the very essence of life. Now in its sixth year, the event has once again come around fast. The Festival also emphasizes the importance of giving back to the local Balinese community through creative and purposeful outreach initiatives which with the expatriate community being blessed to live on this beautiful island, it is always an important consideration. The line up over the 5 days includes over 100 workshops and Master Classes with yoga, dance, music, healing and lifestyle. Yoga incorporates Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Laughter, Power, Anusara, Silat, Capoeira, Poi and Qi Gong. Dance styles showcase Mandala, Javanese, Balinese, Indian and West African traditions. Music workshops encompass the Djembe, Didjerdu, Kirtan and voice. Healing and treatments available range from: Energy Channeling, Sound Therapy, Dreamwork, Watsu, and Crystal healing. A festival wouldn’t be up to much without an ongoing supply of cuisine and there are plenty of stalls serving a range of local and international foods. The last day of the festival is dedicated to ‘Hari Cinta Keluarga’ or in plain English ‘We Love Family Day’. The Balinese community are invited to join in the festivities. If you buy your ticket or tickets before 1 March you will be eligible for an early bird discount. It is much cheaper to organise your tickets on-line, particularly if there are a few of you attending. Prices vary and access is granted or limited to different areas depending on the type of ticket you buy. You can check out all those details on the user friendly website and also purchase your tickets there. Information on locations and maps are available for download on the website too.

Ceramic Artwork Exhibition (22 February) ‘To enrich one’s life and heart by using my ceramic artwork’ is the theme of Masayoshi Yoshioka’s exhibition down at

Jenggala Gallery. The community is invited to the opening reception which will display these unique ceramics. Jenggala is also a great place to visit with the kids or as a class trip to paint a pot. When : 6 pm Where : Jenggala, Jl Uluwatu, Jimbaran Contact : 703311 www.jenggala.com

Internations (1 March) I’ve mentioned Internations before as they are a global group with clusters in most capital cities and other major cities around the world. It is a great way of meeting up with expatriates and other like minded people and if you are new in town a place to meet new people. Each month there is a gathering at a chosen venue. There are other activities throughout the month which usually attract a smaller crowd as these are based around common interests. This activity is called ‘Dine and Dance’. Once you board the bus you can sit back and relax as you are taken on a journey to Ubud, which still remains the cultural capital of Bali, despite recent growth and development. Not only culture but it has gained a reputation for its excellent cuisine at some top quality restaurants. The evening’s entertainment will be live music and various dances including Salsa, Tango, Flamenco and Belly dancing with plenty of delicious menus to choose from. The cost of the trip covers transport and entertainment. The rest is up to you which works as you can drink and eat what you want as normally at the monthly gathering, snacks are provided with the fee. To participate, you do need to be a member of Internations which is very easy to do. Simply enter the Internations website and sign up. Do so quickly as you need to register for this event by 25 February. When : 6 pm - 11 pm Cost : IDR80,000 Where : Tobelo Cafe, Jl. Peti Tenget 7C, Seminyak (meeting point) Contact : www.internations.org

Jam at JPs (24 February) The MAD (Music, Acting, Dancing) Centre are hosting an afternoon of entertainment where students are welcome to come along and perform or you can enjoy some great performances by some of Bali’s talented people. The centre offers courses in performing arts which includes acting, singing, ballet, modern dance, learning a musical instrument, band jams, writing and recording music, speaking poetry or prose, miming, script writing and all the other bits that are included under the umbrella of performing arts. Do go along and get an idea of what the students of MAD are showcasing. The afternoon is free. The afternoon’s entertainment is provided just enjoy a few drinks. It is great to see these opportunities for students in Bali. Kids love to perform and this is a great opportunity for them to do so in front of a wider audience.

A Kitchen Troika (23 February) It does seem that each month there is a special fine dining evening with exquisite foods and wines somewhere in the south of Bali. Three world-class chefs come together for a single evening, Alain Caron, Jacques Pourcel together with Mozaic’s Chris Salans to present a unique collective menu. The menu features all sorts of gastronomical dishes. I’m not going to mention them all, just a few to moisten your taste buds; revisited black truffle potato tortilla, rock lobster tail, sole fish ‘Zebra’ and soft caramel and fresh thyme ice cream. The menu is extensive. These evenings are great particularly if you have a special occasion to celebrate as they are not often repeated. Do call to make a reservation as soon as possible as evenings like this are popular. Cost : IDR1,400,000 ++ Where : Mozaic Restaurant, Jl Raya Sanggingan, Ubud Contact : 975768 reservations@mozaic-bali.com www.mozaic-bali.com

Yoga Style (daily) I am sure you have heard the quote “the only constant in life is change” which of course is the truth for all of us because without it, how can we continue to grow and develop if not exposed to changes that are ever present. How Bali has changed and continues to change can be viewed positively or negatively depending on which half of the glass you choose to see it from. In the spirit of this quote, Manik Organik are delighted to begin their ‘new chapter’ in yoga platform and offerings. Leading the journey is Surya, originating from the Czech Republic and brings many experiences in yoga, astrology and feng shui to Bali. I’m not sure many people share this view unless you underwent a life style change or a realization that as we shape and create our own lives, we are much more than we think we are. Surya brings her passion of healing, massage and her experiences to Manik Organic and is committed to sharing everything she has learned with the people around her. If you feel you need inspiration to find yourself then it is worth coming along. Yoga is a powerful tool for reconnecting with the inner spirit and classes are available daily. The sessions are for 90 minutes. Workshops and private sessions are also available and you can also book yoga sessions at your home. If you feel like embracing changes in your life, these classes might be part of the answer.

When : 9 am and 6 pm Cost : IDR90,000 and IDR70,000 (kids) Where : Manik Organic, Jl Danau Tamblingan No 85, Sanur Contact : 855 3380 info@manikorganik.com www.manikorganik.com

Restaurant Review

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

Watercress….so Fresh! Why are most of the new restaurants in Bali ‘sama-sama’? One does a wagyu burger and fifty follow suite, foie gras, chocolate desserts, most new menus are 90% of items already everywhere else. Now at last someone is game to do something different! And it is working! Just try to get a table at Watercress around lunch time! And they have only been open for 3 months, under the current young dynamic management. I love breakfasts that vary from the norm. Yes I enjoy my Bacon and Eggs [preferable poached but not fanatical about it] but I constantly seek new and exotic breakfasts. At Watercress one breakfast that is healthy, tasty and, for me, wow! Beans and Eggs with a twist [pictured]! Normal baked, kidney and white beans are combined in a ceramic dish with a dash of spices, topped with two eggs then oven baked. On serving they have sour cream and a sprinkle of parmesan added, crusty cinnamon toast on the side, together with a small side salad of rocket and lime, add a sliced chorizo sausage if you will, yes please…the dish is an adaption from a Spanish breakfast on offer in Australia’s very trendy Byron Bay district. Fight cholesterol with a smile, do not worry about the eggs the beans more than make up for them, very high fibre! Another interesting breakfast is their version of the Eggs Florentine, a toasted round of thin pita bread covered with tomato is the base, then the wilted spinach, sautéed mushrooms and fresh watercress. Poached eggs [free range of course] perfectly done and hollandaise. Add some crispy bacon if you wish? Watercress is a most clever design, one of those rare places where you feel immediately relaxed upon entering, as are all the other customers around you. A little extension, front and rear, is an immediate must, as long as it does not ruin what already works perfectly. Needless to say all the normal breakfast things are available, Muesli, and fry-ups [build your own breakfast item by item]. But as I like the unusual I am attracted to things such as Corn Fritters with avocado salsa and chilli jam, Omelettes with smoked salmon, asparagus and feta, again only free range eggs of course. The morning breakfast menu is served all day [why does

not everyone do this??] but at 12.00 midday the lunch menu also comes into operation. More interesting dishes, so many you have to return a number of times to try all the ones that appeal. There is a Salad of Roasted and Caramelised Pumpkin, tossed with a peppery rocket, sun-dried tomatoes, toasted seeds, fresh herbs and crumbled feta. A Beetroot Salad is with sweet orange, fresh watercress, pistachio and balsamic. The Watermelon Salad is with avocado and toasted soy bean seeds, it is in a lemon tahini dressing. You still want a Burger for lunch? At Watercress the burgers are filled with grilled mahi-mahi, crispy tempe or marinated tofu. Now normally I would NEVER order a fish burger but here I had to try it…sensational! Fish is so often over-cooked and dry in Bali the slab of Mahi-Mahi is perfect and combined with marinated capsicums and greens it has a gently spiced after taste. The large soft warm sesame seed buns are perfect for this dish. On the side a pile of fresh watercress topped with sweet potato crisps [they call them chips, another US takeover of the English language, a bad sign with an owner from OZ]. Straight from California are the Omelettes flat and round, topped with smoked salmon, asparagus, feta and herbs. A touch of Asia with Corn Fritters and chilli jam, avocado salsa, coriander and poached eggs [added crispy bacon is a must].

Overall

: An exciting newcomer.

An all day feature is the food bar at the entrance, similar to many Indonesian warungs where many different offerings are displayed. The difference here is that the offerings are mostly western not Indonesian [except for the wonderful corn fritters], and include small slices of quiche and much organic salad components so you can build your own ‘salad’ luncheon depending on today’s taste and whims. Watercress is a great addition to the Kerobokan dining scene, a rare one that appeals and fills up at lunch time in a street that is mostly empty! It has an amazing mix of interesting breakfasts and healthy organic lunch ingredients. The greens are true organic [unlike a growing number who claim to be organic but are not, some even using that word in their name] and the sauces, mayonnaise and salsas are made on the premises. Even the customers at Watercress appear different to those you regularly see elsewhere, a little bit of style and class, just like Watercress itself. The young and successful management team gives this place quite a buzz. One of the finds of 2013!

Restaurant & Nightlife

20 February - 06 March, 2013

Update Spice Beach Club is amazing. It is beachfront at Kalibukbuk, Lovina. Upon arrival

you think the island has turned upside down and you are at Seminyak! A series of wantilans and rotundas are surrounded by swimming pools as they face the swept-clean beach. Spice Beach Club is on a completely different level than anything before attempted in north Bali. Lounge, bar and restaurant are all in blue and white, fresh and clean. The cuisine level has not been forgotten either with experienced hands in the kitchen presenting a very international menu that includes a few excellent Greek dips and dishes. Perfect lunchtime snacks by the seaside; Gyros [spicy chicken wrapped in pita], Toast aux Champignon [sautĂŠed mushrooms and onions], Goat Cheese on Toast, homemade Dutch Kroket on a soft roll, Souvlaki wrapped in a tortilla and the SBC Pyramid of quarter sandwiches stuffed with mozzarella cheese and deep-fried. Mains continue the trend with Zuzukakia [Greek minced beef patties nicely spiced], Beef Short Ribs, Steaks and Rack of Lamb, Grilled Prawns in garlic butter and a monster Seafood Platter for two. It may sound and look like Seminyak but the prices are pure Lovina!! Worth the trip north just to spend the day at the Spice Beach Club [they have diving too, for the energetic ones!]

Dolce Arancia must be Ubud’s most secret restaurant. A keyhole location, drive past

and you miss it. Just 5 twos and 3 fours, yet it still has that real restaurant feel about it, and gives the immediate impression that is run by professionals. What a pleasant change after some of the rubbish that has been opening around Bali recently! The menu is classical Italian, such as a starter of Melon e Prosciutto, and a range of pastas; Spaghetti, Penne, Lasagna, Rigatoni and an unusual one, Orechiette pugliese piccantine [well spiced with broccoli and an anchovy sauce] The mains include Scalloppine, Parmiagana [but the original vegetarian version with layered eggplant from Italy’s south] Polpette and Involtini. For dessert with a difference try the small trio of panna cotta, spuma and crostatine. It is found on Jln. Goutomo, park in Jln. Dewi Sita and walk around the corner.

Lestari, that Swiss restaurant on Jln. Drupadi, does it again. Always innovative their

BBQ at home package is quite amazing and proving to be very popular with villa owners and temporary renters. They will prepare and serve a BBQ dinner at your home. The menu includes Salads [Mixed, Green, Tomato / Cucumber, Pasta with Vegetables] and Garlic Bread with a variety of dressings [Italian, French, Roquefort Cheese and 1000 Islands]. The Seafood and Meats for the BBQ are Beef Tenderloin, Tuna Medallions Chicken Breast, Frankfurter and Chorizo Sausages, Baked Potatoes, Ratatouille Vegetable with Sour Cream and sauces [Cafe de Paris, Dill, Black Pepper and Mustard]. Amazingly it is ‘all you can eat’ and costs Rp. 195,000++ p.p., which includes delivery, staff, cutlery, plates, full service and preparation, clearance and maintenance. The best bit is that you do not even have to wash up afterwards! You can have a party at home without the stress.

789Suki, is yet another strange name for a Bali restaurant. Stranger still is the anonymous entrance, just a wall and a doorway, in front a small car park. It is on Jln. Dewi Sri, Kuta. Walk through the door and you are amazed to find an enormous room seating 300 at long benches. Suki serves mostly Steamboat and Mongolian BBQ and the food is on display in long refrigerated counters, the signage is surprisingly in just Chinese and English. Mongolian BBQ is often presented in Asian restaurants as an individual dish. It is not but is rather a food style. It originates with the Mongolian tribesman patrolling the mountain tops in ice and snow. They used to hang pieces of meat from their saddles, which were automatically frozen. Stopping to eat they would scratch in the snow for leaves, herbs and other greens, turn their battle shields over a fire and place on top together with strips of meat. In Mongolian BBQ Restaurants you fill your bowl from the display with shaved and shredded meats and vegetables, add your own sauces, liquids and spices and take to the ‘Mongolian’ chef who upends your bowl over a make believe shield, stirs and cooks with very long chopsticks and then returns the contents to your bowl. At Suki it is done Jakarta style on just a hot plate grill with metal trowels. Mom’s Recipe, also on Jln Dewi Sri, Kuta, is by contrast Bali owned and managed. It is a trendy bakery/cafĂŠ, all in white, with ample parking in front and on the side. The bakery part specializes in exotic multi-tiered wedding cakes, interesting display including an Apple Torte which is more like an apple crumble in a small glass bowl. The menu is cafĂŠ style with many snacks, light and main meals. Mon’s Recipe follows the new, but still rare, trend of showing all prices net of tax and service. Start with an Indonesian Pie [chicken and veg, mashed potato on top] or a Quesadilla of chicken, capsicum, mushroom and tomato salsa. The very Indonesian Oxtail Soup [meat fried or braised] in a beef broth with boiled potatoes and other vegetables. Sandwiches [Steak], Melts [Tuna] or Wraps [Florentine; tortilla wrapped around scrambled egg and spinach, tomato and hollandaise sauce]. Also does Pizza [chicken carbonara], Pasta [linguine gamberoni] and Burgers. Mains of Pollo Diablo [boneless chicken leg] and Beef Stroganoff [sautĂŠed sliced beef with onions and mushroom]. For dessert, pancakes and waffles.

Lovina Bakery is on the main road just before Lovina Central. It heralded a breakthrough when it opened offering German breads and a selection of deli items, mainly a range of German and Swiss sausages. Initially there were also a few small tables where you could sit and sample both. Now the inside is an enlarged deli and what was the motor bike parking area at front is now an enclosed glassed-in space for cafĂŠ dining. SSWaroeng has been stopping the traffic on Jln. Batubulan for the past few months. At first it was just during the late afternoon peak hour but now it is almost any time of the day. So many cars are stopping to buy. As always as soon as a local place becomes popular the ‘parking man’ moves in. SS Waroeng is no exception but at least he earns his money here. What is the big attraction? They offer 27 different sambals, 22 Lauk and 11 Sayuran. All at cheap prices, of course! Pedas Abis! Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com

International Women’s Day- Supporting Women Striving for Better Futures

-By Megan Harris; Photography by Barbara Nickl. Spending any significant time in Bali soon reveals that despite their calm exterior, many local people are struggling to respond to the rapid social changes wrought within just one generation. Tourism has expedited the effects of globalisation and Balinese women in particular are faced with the challenge of shaping their identity against strong traditions and modern influences. Women manage these effects in diverse ways and Balinese culture is renowned for its adaptability and endurance. But the growing economic disparities in Bali effectively bar many local women from accessing the resources and opportunities needed to create secure futures.

traditionally seen as forming an integrated pair with relegated duties and obligations to fulfil, serving to maintain families, societal roles and heritage. So women’s independence as viewed from a Western perspective may cause a tension between tradition and modern realities for Balinese women. Yet there is no doubt many Balinese women are influenced by both traditional and contemporary influences in shaping their identities. Numbers of local girls accessing formal education continues to rise and some Balinese women are pursuing professional careers. In a significant development, 2010 legislation guaranteed Balinese women equal rights in inheritance and education, though this is not necessarily upheld throughout Bali. It can be argued that wanita Bali have more to deal with than the dual workload negotiated by many women elsewhere. Balinese women have traditionally been defined through their religious and family duties rather than material possessions and individual accomplishments. The emphasis in Balinese culture on harmony and the collective nature of the society sees a woman’s role as prioritising family and the community. The important cultural contributions performed by Balinese women are essential to maintaining local values. This realises a triple burden for women in the workforce as they juggle domestic, economic and social obligations.

The 8th of March is International Women’s Day, acknowledging the important contributions of women to society and their achievements towards realising equality. Certainly, contemporary women’s improved access to positions of power and ability to exert personal choices deserve widespread celebration. Yet, such successes can mask the struggles women negotiate on a daily basis within many societies. As Bali races towards what is termed development, the effects on local traditions and culture, so intrinsically embodied in Balinese women, are disrupted. The challenges faced by local women in this rapidly changing society are central to the concept of International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day was conceived in 1910 at the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen. Attendees noted the need for advocacy on the rights of women, particularly in regard to working conditions. The designated day was to provide an opportunity to assert women’s rights to vote; work; access training; hold public office; and end discrimination. That economically disadvantaged and immigrant women were commonly forced to work long hours under often dangerous conditions without fair remuneration later became the backbone of protests. Significantly, in February, 1917, a four day strike by Russian women against a backdrop of war and the deaths of over 2 million of their soldiers, bought down the Czar and gained women the right to vote. Such demonstrations of perseverance and strength shape feminist aims to attain equal rights and recognition for the important roles played by women. Today, International Women’s Day marks a public holiday in more than 27 countries including Cambodia, China, Laos, Russia and Vietnam. Paradoxically, the hard battle for equal rights has brought new pressures to bear on women. Traditional female roles have not been altogether displaced, but rather have grown to encompass paid employment and obligations that compete with marriage and raising families. Equal rights in employment see women represented in diverse areas and levels of the workforce, but traditional household chores and responsibilities for child rearing remain in the female domain. To further frustrate this dual work load is the fact that Western feminism ideals have seen housework duties become devalued. Tying status to income and career roles means all women come under pressure to gain paid employment whether they would like to or not. Unpaid work and carer roles, essential to maintaining our societies, are relegated a lowly status even while pressure remains on women to maintain an attractive home and well behaved children. Thus, International Women’s day not only honours the progress brought by rights groups towards gender equality, but highlights that there remains work to do towards improving the lives of women and girls. Appallingly, international statistics highlight that women still face lower pay for work equal to that of their male counterparts and are well underrepresented in business and political arenas. Quality of education and access to education is lower for women than men; and women’s health and the violence inflicted against them is worse than that of men. Such gender discrepancies are played out the world over, including in Bali. The unity of a Balinese woman and man is

Domestic duties are not a Balinese women’s domain due to a perceived weakness; rather, women are respected as holding grace, stamina and strength. This view is depicted through the worship of goddesses such as Dewi Sri- goddess of agriculture, fertility and success. Such attributes also play out through women’s actual daily tasks- from the serene act of preparing morning offerings, to balancing loads of bricks upon their heads to distribute at construction sites. The domestic role of Balinese women includes major household tasks and child rearing, along with active involvement in family budgeting and the labour force. Balinese ceremonies are an example of the tough scheduling terrain local women in paid employment must negotiate. In a six month period, there will be at least six Tumpak ceremonies; along with full moon and dark moon ceremonies; individual ceremonies to mark personal life cycle events; and many local ceremonies, such as for a temple construction. Organising time off for these occasions places Balinese women under enormous pressure to be either a reliable employee or a good family person. The pervading international workplace culture of valuing time and money over other aspects of life causes tension with Balinese values which are the foundation that directs the actions of local women. The globalisation of market economy ideals has seen an adaption to these pressures with the advent of preprepared offerings at markets and the role of monetary donations in lieu of attendance. Globalisation is effectively transported through tourism, technology and other means to assert its cultural levelling effects on Bali. The explosion of tourism in Bali since the 1990’s has generated great economic growth but also unsettles the local culture with society experiencing a dynamic time of adjustment. Bali has had a rapid transition from a primary to tertiary industry base as agriculture declines and the services sector mushrooms. Tourism has exacerbated the decline of agricultural traditions involving elaborate rituals and intense communal cooperation that reflects Balinese culture and heritage. The globalisation of a consumerist culture and capitalist ideals sees economic gaps form in societies, something clearly being felt in Bali. A growing reliance on markets and a desire to generate capital means an influx of workers to urban areas, often leaving rural landscapes void of young people. So we see the flourishing of tourist accommodation on rice fields, land prices booming and increasing crime as people get left behind in the wake of investors. In Bali, social inequities are defined by those who have access to tourism dollars and those who do not. As Southern Bali gyrates with cashed –up crowds indulging in high end dining, accommodation and shopping, it’s easy to overlook the fact that close to 169,000 Balinese live in poverty, earning under $2 per person, per day. They live in villages that lack access to clean water, electricity, heath care and education. Many are illiterate and some are malnourished. Those who attempt to eke out a living in market places often see sales dwindle along with the exodus of more people seeking employment in the tourist zones. Perhaps what should not be so easily overlooked while enjoying the venues of Ubud, Kuta or Seminyak is the scores of young women working for salaries of Rp.500, 000 or less per month. Lacking income options in their villages and under pressure to contribute to their families’ meagre incomes, many women

accept low wages to work long hours and share dilapidated single rooms on the outskirts of tourist hubs. According to the Bali Statistics Agency, the number of people living in poverty in rural and urban areas actually increased in the period from March 2011 to March 2012. Seminyak retail worker, Ni Wayan is frustrated at the barriers pitiful incomes enforce on local women. While feeling fortunate to have completed high school and learnt fluent English, Ni Wayan says long hours at two jobs to supplement her husband’s income just allows them to scrape by. “While salaries for Balinese remain so low we cannot save money to get ahead; even though I have the skills to run my own shop, I will never have the capital to make it happen. ” As an English language and vocational teacher at Bali WISE, Ni Made Juniartini has witnessed the struggle of many women in Bali to rise out of the poverty trap. Bali WISE is an initiative providing free literacy; English language; hospitality & tourism; and small business skills to local women in need. Ni Made sees the biggest challenge facing many women is the need to help support their parents while lacking sufficient education or training to be able to do so. Many Bali WISE students explain that their family has become financially crippled due to lack of income or from high interest loans taken out to cover medical costs. Bali WISE strives to remove the barriers local women face to accessing education and secure work options. Partnerships with local hotels including AYANA Resort and Spa, the Conrad, Tanjong Benoa and the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel provide on-site work experience, integral to the success of the programs. Bali WISE also provides financial support for full-time students towards accommodation, transport and meals. Without this assistance, most students say they would most likely remain in their village without an income or accept a menial job with low pay. Bali WISE staff member Luh Putu Aswin Astiti understands the difficulties women face to establish themselves away from their family base but asserts there is no choice for those seeking an income but to move to tourist areas. Luh Aswin sees herself as fortunate to have parents who managed to send her to university, believing that without education, training or work experience, it is impossible to gain a good job. Yet once equipped with knowledge and skills, there is high demand for employees and in the last term of 2012, after just 6 months of study, all Bali WISE vocational graduates accessed full-time employment offers.

Coca Cola Amatil Indonesia provides essential financial support towards the educational programs at Bali WISE, but operational costs and the accommodation, food and transport needs of students are reliant on donations and sponsorships each month. For International Women’s Day, Bali WISE is making it easy to support local women to create brighter futures. On the 8th March at Mantra bar, Jalan Petitenget Raya, Seminyak, Bali WISE will hold a get together for students, staff, volunteers, and supporters of women’s empowerment in Bali. All are welcome to join the event between 6-8pm, with cocktails and a bbq, live music and raffle prizes on offer. More details are available on the Bali WISE facebook page and website. Bali WISE would like to acknowledge International Women’s Day 2013 supporters in Bali. The team at Maidenlove boutique, Jalan Kayu Aya 8, Oberoi provide sponsorship for a Bali WISE student each month and will host a Bali WISE donation box. The Conrad, Tanjong Benoa will be supporting International Women’s Day by encouraging all guests on the day to donate $1 each towards Bali WISE programs.

Local News Indonesian Police Probe “Baby-Smuggling Ring” Police in Indonesia say they are investigating a suspected baby-smuggling ring that is thought to have taken some infants to Singapore and sold them on to third countries. They said seven people had been arrested, including midwives, and one mother is under suspicion of selling her child. Three babies were recovered. Investigators said the children had been bought from poor families for a few hundred dollars each. They also found airline tickets for Singapore. A child protection official said there was evidence that some children had been sold to adoptive parents in various countries, and that the practice had been going on since the mid-1990s. “Cases that we heard were babies being sold to Australia, Eastern Europe, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia,” Arist Merdeka Sirait told the BBC. One written document providing evidence of the practice had been found, he added. Police in western Jakarta said earlier in the week that they had uncovered a criminal network and arrested seven people including midwives last month. Spokesman Rikwanto said police suspected babies taken from Indonesian hospitals and given false identities had been listed in the manifests of several flights to Singapore. “Our investigation has found that the women would buy the babies from poor mothers, promising financial incentives and telling them the babies would live better lives with wealthier families,” he said, quoted by AFP news agency. The suspects bought the babies for between $1,500 and $2,000 depending on their “beauty and health condition” and sold them for up to $8,250, with boys fetching higher prices, Rikwanto said.

Police said on Thursday (7/2) that a mother of one of the allegedly smuggled children was under suspicion, after telling them that she had given her baby to a midwife because she did not have the money to pay for her delivery, the Jakarta Post newspaper reported. She reportedly told police that she had intended to get the baby back when she was able to pay the midwife, but when she tried to do so the midwife told her the baby had been sold. Mr. Sirait’s national commission for child protection has in the past reported numerous cases of babies being kept by hospitals because parents were unable to pay their bills. Police last month investigated an advertisement offering two babies for sale at $1,000 each on the popular auction and shopping website Tokobagus.com. Rikwanto said the two investigations were not connected. West Jakarta police are investigating the possibility of involvement of city administration’s civil registration service officials in falsifying birth documents. “Certain officials have possibly been involved in the document forgery,” West Jakarta Police Command’s chief of crime investigation Adjunct Senior Commissioner Hengki Haryadi said here on Friday (9/2). The police have already questioned one of the officials at the civil registration office known by his initial as J for allegedly issuing the birth certificate of one of the babies being trafficked named Teddy Lukas. Based on the birth certificate Teddy Lukas was born on October 7, 2012 as the fourth son of a mother identified as Lindawaty Suhandojo. The certificate was signed by the head of the Central Jakarta civil registration service, MH, by his initials, and issued on November 5, 2012. (February 9th 2013)

Irish Teacher Dies after Drinking Local Island Spirit The family of a teacher who died after drinking a local spirit on an island off Bali wants the Department of Foreign Affairs to warn people of the risk of methanol poisoning in Indonesia. Roisín Burke, a 21-year-old teacher from Ireland died on May 31, 2011, while holidaying with her friends on the Gili Islands. Roisín and her friends had been drinking arak, a locally brewed spirit, at a café in Gili Trawangan two days before she died.

have been due to sudden adult death syndrome, but he could not prove that either. “At the end of the day I don’t know precisely why Roisín died and I am going to have to give an open verdict,” he said. Roisín’s aunt, Jackie Burke, told the coroner that the family wanted action to be taken so Irish tourists were aware of the danger of drinking contaminated alcohol in Indonesia.

Roisín, who worked as an English teacher in Jakarta, Indonesia, became ill after drinking the spirit and passed out on the second day. She was taken to a local clinic where doctors failed to resuscitate her. Another woman also fell ill but later recovered.

“We wonder if it is something you [Dr Farrell] would consider raising it yourself,” she asked. Dr Farrell said he would share her concern. “The difficulty for me is I don’t know what precisely what happened here,” he said.

The Indonesian authorities did not conduct an autopsy. Eight days after her death, an autopsy was performed at Connolly Hospital in Dublin.

Ms Burke said the family realized they could not be sure what caused Roisín’s death but was aware that there was an ongoing practice of cutting spirits with methanol in the Gili and Limbok islands off Bali.

Her family are concerned she may have died as a result of methanol poisoning. However, Dr Brian Farrell, the coroner, returned an open verdict yesterday because he could not say precisely what caused Roisín’s death.

Ms Burke said a person had died after drinking in the same bar that Roisín and her friends had visited on Gili Trawangan.

Dr Farrell said he could not say methanol was not a factor in the woman’s death because it was also present in the embalming process. He told the family that the formaldehyde used by the Indonesian embalmer would have contained methanol. Dr Farrell said the pathologists thought the death might

“The family are hoping that awareness can be raised around the issue and that young people would avoid drinking arak in these places,” she said. “Perhaps the Department of Foreign Affairs could include the warning in their travel advice.” Dr Farrell agreed to contact the department and inform them of the family’s concerns.

Komodo Dragon Attack Leaves Two People in Hospital Two people are being treated at a Bali hospital after they were bitten by a 2 meter (7 foot) long Komodo dragon on Tuesday (5/2), at the Komodo National Park on Rinca Island, East Nusa Tenggara. Ahmad Main, a forest police officer, was alone in an office at the park when a lizard found its way inside and attacked him. The 50-year-old, who was once bitten by a crocodile in 2009, panicked and jumped on a chair to shout for help, but the lizard grabbed his leg. Usman Li, an employee at the national park, heard Ahmad’s screams and managed to pull the two-meter long lizard off him. But as a result, the lizard attacked Usman, 35, biting his left leg. The lizard finally left after several officers from the park managed to chase it away. Ahmad received 41 stitches for wounds to his legs and Usman received 42 stitches. Komodo dragons are the world’s largest lizards, growing up to 3m long, with razor-sharp teeth and a venomous bite. Previously it was thought the Komodo’s mouth harbored virulent bacteria that quickly infected and subdued prey. But in 2009 analysis by researchers of Komodo specimens showed a well-developed venom gland with ducts that lead to their large teeth. The reptiles are unique to a small group of islands in eastern Indonesia. They live on a diet of mainly large mammals, smaller reptiles and birds, but have been known to attack humans. The animals are endangered in the wild and protected by international law - fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. (February 6th 2013) House Speaker Marzuki Says All Men Want Polygamy House of Representatives Speaker Marzuki Alie said on Thursday (7/2) that every man would like to have more than one wife if they could, just like outgoing deputy House Speaker Anis Matta, who has two spouses. “As a man, I have to be honest,” Marzuki said. “All men want it, the desire to practice polygamy, but most men don’t have the courage to do it. Probably because they are afraid of their wife, children and the impact on their work.” Marzuki was laughing when he made the comment as part of his farewell remarks to Anis, who resigned from his position as deputy House speaker on economic affairs, after he was appointed as the new chairman of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS). “We were a solid team except we haven’t agreed on polygamy,” Anis told the other deputy chairman, prompting others to laugh. (February 7th 2013) Lindsay Sandiford Loses Legal Funding Case A grandmother sentenced to death in Bali for drug trafficking has lost a High Court challenge to the UK government to fund a lawyer for her to lodge an appeal. Lindsay Sandiford, 56, from Gloucestershire, was convicted last week after she was found with 4.8kg (10.6lb) of cocaine. Her bid was backed by a human rights charity, which wanted judges to rule the Foreign Office’s stance was unlawful. The judge, Mrs. Justice Gloster, sitting with Mrs. Justice Nicola Davies, said that while the court understood “the deep concerns of Mrs. Sandiford and her family about Mrs. Sandiford’s predicament” the case must be dismissed. Sandiford faces death by firing squad following the Bali court’s verdict on 22 January. The High Court heard a notice of appeal was filed with Indonesian officials earlier this week and she was given a 14-day deadline to file grounds of appeal. The Foreign Office said the UK opposed the use of the death penalty and has raised the case through diplomatic channels. It said the government does not fund legal representation for British nationals abroad. A spokesman said: “We strongly object to the death penalty and continue to provide consular assistance to Lindsay and her family during this difficult time.” Sandiford, whose case was backed by the charity Reprieve, was seeking a judicial review of the government’s decision.

Government to Accelerate Geothermal Development

The five-star Sofitel Hotel will soon be added to the list of luxury accommodation in the Nusa Dua complex on the resort island of Bali. Agung Podomoro, one of the country’s most aggressive property developers, is behind the Rp 900 billion ($93 million) investment, made at the request of the Bali Tourism Development Corporation, which manages the complex. The Sofitel Hotel will sit on 7.8 hectares of land in Nusa Dua, a tourist area managed and developed by the Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC), a state-owned enterprise of Bali province. Ciputra Property, a unit of property giant Ciputra Group, plans to spend around $124 million for the construction of two luxury hotels in Bali by the end of the year to tap into high-end tourism in the resort island. Candra Ciputra, chief executive of Ciputra Property, said that the company is currently in talks with two potential hotel operators and will start building hotels by the end of the year. Total investment for the two hotels is estimated at Rp 1.2 trillion ($124 million). “We are choosing five-star hotels because the occupancy rate is very high now in Bali as tourism continues to grow,” Candra told reporters on Wednesday (6/2) in Jakarta. The company has already secured about 35 hectares of land in Seminyak, in Bali, Candra said, adding that construction will take about two-and-a-half years. (February 5th 2013)

The government will speed up the development of geothermal energy to replace fossil fuel consumption, which continues to increase. Directorate General of New Renewable Energy and Conservation Ministry of Energy and Human Resources Rida Mulyana on Friday (8/2) said that she will further intensify synergies and coordination with relevant agencies to accelerate the development of geothermal energy. Additionally, she pointed out that the government will complete the development of 28 points of geothermal locations in partnership with the Ministry of Forestry. The country’s trade deficit reached US$1.65 billion last year, the first deficit in Indonesia’s history, and this is largely attributed to an increase in the importation of oil and gas. In 2012, oil imports recorded US$42.56 billion compared to the 2011 figure of US$40.7 billion. The importation of oil and gas, especially petrol, will continue to rise due to demand, however, production of the product has not. Rida added, that new and renewable energy (EBT) such as geothermal, water, solar, and biomass will have to be researched and implemented, as they will be the fuel for the future. She said that the government will try to achieve the target of 25% renewable energy use in the overall usage of energy in the country. (February 8th 2013)

Garuda to Start Flights from London to Jakarta Indonesian carrier Garuda is to start flights from Gatwick to Jakarta later this year. The service is due to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2013 using a Boeing 777 with capacity for more than 300 passengers. Flights will run six times a week, with a launch date of October thought to have been penciled in. This will make Gatwick the only UK airport to connect passengers direct to the largest economy in South East Asia. Garuda president and chief executive Emirsyah Satar said the new service would complement the airline’s existing Amsterdam-Abu Dhabi-Jakarta route. He said: “This flight will be more convenient since it will be serving passengers non-stop from Jakarta to London with the brand new B777-300ER, which will be equipped with Wi-Fi and a chef on board for first class passengers. (February 1st 2013) First State Executions Since 2008 on Horizon with 12 Facing Firing Squad The Attorney General’s Office has revealed that 12 death row inmates are liable to face the firing squad after exhausting all avenues for appeal, in the first state executions since 2008. Basrief Arief, the attorney general, said on Friday (1/2) that there was little chance of these individuals seeing their sentences converted to prison terms unless the president granted them clemency. He added that his office planned to carry out the executions soon, but would not give any exact dates. He also refused to divulge the identities of the inmates. While the identities of the 12 facing imminent death remains unknown, at least two foreigners are known to have exhausted all legal avenues for appeal and are awaiting a response from the president on their clemency pleas. Australians Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, both members of the Bali Nine gang were sentenced to death in 2006 for their roles in an attempt to smuggle 8.3 kilograms of heroin into the resort island of Bali. Both men filed pleas for clemency last July, but there has been no response yet from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who has previously stated his opposition to granting clemency to drug traffickers.

Activists Launch Interactive HIV/AIDS Website A website providing a directory of medical services and other resources for people living with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia was recently set up to help patients more easily access treatment and information about the disease. “We decided to set up this portal and mobile application we call ‘AIDS Digital’ because there has not been a comprehensive service that could facilitate the AIDS-affected community or the public in general who want to know more about HIV testing, antiretroviral [therapy and drugs], reference hospitals or any other sexual transmitted disease,” Aditya Wardhana, the executive director of the Indonesia AIDS Coalition, said on Saturday (9/2). Aditya said even with the growth of the Internet and access to it, proper information about HIV/AIDS in Indonesia was scarce. Even those able to access the information found it difficult to ask further questions because few websites providing information about HIV/AIDS were interactive. “Most of the time the dissemination of information about HIV/AIDS was done from mouth to mouth,” Aditya said. “This method has failed to break the negative stigma and taboo surrounding the infection itself.” AIDS Digital, which can be accessed at www.aidsdigital.net, offers directories of health facilities providing sterile needles, methadone therapy and antiretroviral drugs, as well as the addresses of reference hospitals and nongovernmental organizations that provide counseling and advocacy for HIV/AIDS patients. It also contains comprehensive information about HIV/AIDS, prevention programs and discussions aimed at debunking myths about the disease. The number of Indonesians living with HIV was around 370,000 in 2011, according to UNAIDS. About $69 million was spent in 2010 to prevent and treat AIDS in Indonesia, according to the National AIDS Commission, an increase of around $13 million since 2006. More than half of that comes from international sources of funding. (February 9th 2013)

HECTOR’S Snow Job Kathryn Bonella, who knows a lot more about Bali’s drug scene than most people, including the police, dropped us a little line from Sydney after the last Diary, two weeks back, which took a view about the fate of convicted British drugrunner Lindsay Sandiford. Well, it’s nice to know we’re read so far afield. And in fact, Bonella’s thoughts were really no distance from our own, except that as the author of Snowing in Bali, the new book she’s written about the problem that just won’t go away, she knows far more about Sandiford than we do. Bonella tells us she’s sure Sandiford is no innocent (abroad or otherwise) and that she’d done it all before. She makes the entirely reasonable point that drug bosses don’t have to coerce 56-year-old grannies or anyone else into doing a mule trip, since there are foolish people everywhere willing to take the risk in return for $10,000 and a tropical holiday. Sandiford’s story was, she says, just that: a compendium of terminological inexactitudes such as you would customarily find presented in court by some clod that finally got caught. Fair enough. We hold no brief for Sandiford other than to say she shouldn’t be executed since the death penalty is an abomination. Bonella, who also gave us the Chronicles of Nah-Nah-Nahnihyah (better known as Schapelle Corby: Her Story) and Hotel Kerobokan – both eminently readable, excellently researched and important books – shares a view with the Diary that Sandiford was the patsy, the one player in the sick game who couldn’t pay and thus took the big rap. That’s interesting because, after the last item, we got some carefully anonymous correspondence from people suggesting that those who got six years, four years and one year in jail, respectively, had absolutely nothing to do with Sandiford. She just knew Julian Ponder, Paul Beales and Rachel Douglas (though in the circumstances now revealed, we might ask why) and named them as part of her deal with the cops. That’s good then. We can cease to speculate about why two cars had to go all the way to Candi Dasa to pick up a kid’s birthday present. Snowing in Bali should be translated into Bahasa Indonesia and published here, so those in a position to actually do something about the drug scene can fully inform themselves.

Hot Dish The former I Hill, a bar-restaurant near the back entrance to Temple Hill at the top of the really bendy bit of Jl Raya Uluwatu at Bukit Jimbaran, closed its doors a little while ago. It probably did so since it couldn’t close its windows. There weren’t any. And this meant that it was impossible to have a quiet drink because of the cacophonous struggles of defective and overloaded trucks to get up the hill, the amazingly noisy efforts of others, similarly challenged, desperately trying not to tumble down it, and the continuous scream and whine of motorbikes ridden by madmen. It has been replaced by Made in China (perhaps the Jakarta owners got the name from the bottom of a plate) and has been remodelled. It now has windows at the front, as well as an air-conditioned dining room, and is a very pleasant spot. The cuisine is – somewhat naturally – predominantly Chinese. The food is good. The view – now you can gaze upon it without getting your eardrums burst – is magnificent. And even better still, its prices are on the reasonable side of quite low. At the rear there’s a bar area. The evening we were there recently, with a friend scouting for somewhere suitably oriental to take his co-workers for lunch for Chinese New Year, the blackboard menu behind the bar suggested in big capital letters that patrons might want to “Pork It!” We were quietly pondering the engaging possibilities of this indelicate recommendation when we spotted an item that piqued immediate interest. Chick in black soy sauce sounded just the trick for a hot night out.

Cold Comfort An Aussie long-stay visitor who’s probably best staying nameless in the Diary asked an astonishing question on the Bali Community Facebook page recently: “Does anyone know of any nudie beaches or sunning spots? Either a drive from Ubud or Seminyak?” She certainly did her cultural and social research well before alighting here determined to strip off in public. There are plenty of places around the world where complete dishabille is fine on beaches; and there’s nothing wrong with that. But Bali isn’t one of them.

Monsoon Weeding Rakesh Kapoor, general manager of a plush establishment at Tampak Siring and formerly of the much munched-at Mozaic at nearby Ubud, has given himself an unlikely 45th birthday present (a belated happy birthday for the 15th, mate) – he’s decided to swap the fresh air and flooded-to-schedule rice fields of Bali for Kota Banjir, aka Jakarta. It’s sad to see him go. We’ll miss him. And the small but perfectly formed Indian expatriate community here will be the poorer for his departure. But he’s been a Bali resident for 10 years – goodness, the Diary’s only up to nearly eight so far – and appar-

ently the opportunity for change came knocking at his door. His new digs will be at Kemang in South Jakarta, well away from the flood-prone bit of the Big Durian. It’s certainly better to keep your shoes dry. Kapoor has a nice little Daihatsu – a 4X4 diesel Taft, not a standard petrol-fuelled conveyance like Franny Feroza, the Diary’s venerable workhorse – and he’d like to sell it before he leaves Pandawas Villas Resort, which will be before Feb. 25. But he says he’ll only sell at his price. It’s fully reconditioned inside and out and is a snip at Rp 70 million. We’d snap it up, but Franny would have a hissy fit if we did.

Dumb and... A plaintive little post from a Bali-resident Facebook friend caught our eye the other day. It reported: “Can’t believe that my house cleaner stole a t-shirt out of my house and then wore it to work... it doesn’t get dumber, just when I thought I’d seen it all...” Ah yes! The joys of living in a “What’s Yours is Mine” culture. We sympathise, really we do. And we’d dearly like to think, like the plaintive poster, that it couldn’t get dumber. But it doesn’t pay to be overly optimistic about that, here.

Great Group, Great Projects It is cheering indeed to see that Muriel Ydo is 2013 President of BIWA, the Bali International Women’s Association. BIWA, which links foreign and Indonesian women in service club environment and does sterling work in many areas, has been a fixture in the Bali landscape since 1974. As it says in its mission statement, it is a non-profit charity organisation devoted to the welfare of women and children in Bali. It is a forum for exchanging ideas and making friends while fundraising and carrying out social welfare projects. BIWA focuses on HIV/AIDS awareness and combating its spread, on a mobile dental clinic, and on breast cancer programs, an important interest it shares with Bali Pink Ribbon. It is also involved in other projects, all of them aimed at improving the lives of Balinese people. Ydo has a strong record in such work, having for a long time been deeply engaged in projects to help lift the poor villagers of Sawangan near Nusa Dua, and the unfortunate seaweed farmers of neighbouring Geger Beach, out of their hopeless poverty and educational and social disadvantage. She told members at her first meeting as president: “Since its inception by seven fearless women in 1974, BIWA has brought light and joy into the lives of many families and succeeded in making a difference by doing simple things effectively.” Quite so – keep it up, ladies.

Blooming Lovely We’re a gardening family, apparently, that strand of consanguineous DND from which springs the McSquawky clan (name changed to protect the innocent). Some of the more important bits – like knowing what’s a weed and what isn’t – seem to have washed out of our own genes, but we have a cousin in Sydney (she’s a dinkum Aussie; the Diary is a mere migrant) who runs a great website called GardenDrum that highlights the beauty of nature in a home garden setting. It’s a delight, frequently venturing out of the garden and into the wild, and even to other continents. Another cousin, in Scotland and also with a lovely garden, recently posted a photo of the fi rst snowdrops to appear in her North Sea cliff-top sward ahead of spring. This reminded us – and it was apposite since it is three years since he left us to go and smell the flowers elsewhere – that Dad was an inveterate reporter of such things. We children are widely dispersed, having formed our own little Diaspora. One is in Australia (there used to be two but guess where the other one is nowadays), one’s in the U.S., and one remained in the U.K. But every year, around this time, we could count on Dad letting us know the first snowdrop had appeared. Only in the later years did this advice arrive by email; it used to be fax or a phone call. And invariably, every year, the report was soon followed by another that stated “winter has returned”. We lit an incense stick for him on Feb. 10. It offered its ash to the little pebble we brought home to Bali from his favourite Scottish beach and which resides in our Buddha bowl along with one (in fetching pink tones) that is Mum’s.

Boom-Boom Someone told us a lovely little Indian joke the other day (no, it wasn’t Rakesh Kapoor). It goes like this: Two junkies accidentally snorted curry powder instead of cocaine. Both were taken to hospital. One was in a korma and the other had a dodgy tikka.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Tourist Forever Many people who visit Bali understandably fall in love with the place (or at least with someone from the place) and decide to stay, settling down and ‘setting up shop’ indefinitely. This is where things can become a little confusing for the locals who expect all the whiteys, aka ‘tamu, tamui, toris or bule’ to come and go on a jet plane within a few days. For those of us who are residents or Indonesian citizens, it can be a little frustrating when we too are thrown into the transient visitor category and become victims of opportunism wherever we go. There are ways to deal with this, but sometimes resorting to asking a local friend to ‘check the prices’ first can be just a little too painful… If you dwell on it, you can feel like you will never be accepted as ‘one of them’ but rather as a gaudy, neon-lit with flashing purple lights TOURIST FOREVER spectacle to be stared at, talked about, ripped off, blamed, and unfairly treated on a daily basis. When I once had a moan about ‘always being treated as a tourist’, my local friend articulately said, “If you don’t like it, why don’t you just go home?” Aha! So, where exactly is home then smarty pants? Don’t you realize many of us already have a life, family, friends and a long past behind us on this island? I guess it can be hard to imagine simply leaving ‘your village’ for good… But it turns out that most of us tourists forever are actually here to stay, no matter how determined immigration is to make us feel like indefinite over-stayers. On the upside (I’m quite into Rwa Bhineda myself) being a ‘tourist forever’ means you can reap some advantages such as getting into certain dodgy Kuta bars, getting treated politely at hotels even if you’re not staying there, winging use of hotel pools on the sly, going bare chested on ya vespa or prancing through Centro in a g-string. Nonetheless, as much as one may love the attention, I know that most of us tourists forever would prefer to be a little less conspicuous…

Letters To Bali Advertiser A Foul Tale! Dear Readers, The wise people of Tabanan have expelled the dreaded chicken farms and so they are now spreading all over Melaya, West Bali. In intensive chicken farming the birds are reared in appalling conditions. Pumped up with antibiotics, and growth hormones, they are ready for slaughter at 3 weeks old. Broilers bred for fast growth have a high rate of leg deformities because the large breast muscles cause distortions of the developing legs and pelvis, and the birds cannot support their increased body weight. They really struggle in the heat, barely able to move about to avoid the dead and decomposing corpses that lie scattered around. This foul meat is also the main source of salmonella food poisoning, the lethal queen mother of the dreaded Bali belly. At present one of these chicken concentration camps has set up set up at 200m from the orphanage. The dust and airborne particles are of great concern given the current bird flu epidemic in Bali. Besides that there is an unbelievable plague of flies. Despite the orphanage’s best efforts they are everywhere. They crawl up and down the children’s faces as they eat. They land in their food, swim in their drinks. It’s truly disgusting! Many practical solutions have been suggested to the owner of the chicken farm but he continues to ignore the problems caused by his business. I am now asking all of you to help us by raising awareness of this issue with your family and friends. For your health and for the sake of our children, please refuse to serve and eat all cheap chicken meat. Humans only need to consume meat once a week. Pay extra for ‘ayam kampung’,organic chicken and enjoy this guilt free meat. Please take a stand on this atrocious injustice to children and animals.Change starts with one person and that person is you! Many thanks for thinking of us and taking action. Best Wishes Ibu Lala Tierney on behalf of the children of Melaya Orphanage and the chickens.

Children Without Helmets Space for this ad donated by Bali Advertiser

Dear Sir,

NC/NV/U-20 Feb. 13

Although Bali seems like paradise, there are things I see every day which upset me. One of these things is children on scooters with their parents, without the proper headwear on. Even more shocking is that most of the time the parent is wearing a helmet but the child is not! Many times two or three children are on the scooter, one up front standing, often two on the back. Three weeks ago on Jln Majapahit in Kuta one of my Australian friends visiting from Perth, witnessed a horrendous accident involving the scooter in front of him in traffic. A father riding with three children, slid out and the three children, who were not wearing helmets all came off the bike at quite a fast speed. It all unfolded right in front of him and, as he has first aid training he stopped to help. The two older children escaped with minor cuts and bruises but the youngest, a three year old had severe head injuries. By the time my friend got off his bike and attended to the child he had stopped breathing and had no pulse. He was bleeding from the head, ears and mouth, but still my friend gave him CPR, for ten minutes until an ambulance arrived. He gave this child life again and when the paramedics attended the child, he was now only just alive. He was taken to Sanglah hospital in a critical condition. My friend is traumatized by this event and both of us were appalled that none of the children were wearing a helmet but the father was. We can only hope that the child has survived without permanent brain injury. This problem needs to be addressed here in Indonesia. Unfortunately the Polisi don’t seem to think it is important, and allow these children to have their lives put at risk every time they get on a bike. Too many times I have seen a Polisi officer watch as thousands of Indonesian families ride past them without any headwear on the children. Why? Why are there no laws in place making this a crime punishable by a fine or some sort of punishment? These are lives of innocent, beautiful children we are talking about! We must change this somehow. It should be mandatory for helmets to be worn. Perhaps some sort of subsidy from the government to allow poorer Indonesian families to purchase children’s helmets will help alleviate this problem? I don’t know exactly how to fix it but I just know something needs to be done to prevent further deaths and injuries on our roads here in Indonesia. More penalties put in place would also surely help, with Polisi monitoring the problem every single day. We cannot turn a blind eye to this terrible practice anymore! Please put a helmet on your child; it could save their life! Best Regards Miss Trinity Grange

Coffee – the third wave By Shalini

“Coffee - the favorite drink of the civilized world,” said T h o m a s Jefferson, and indeed the liquid coffee has been a global social lubricant for half a millennium. But early coffee making methods were basic. Mostly it involved roasting beans in a pan – a technique still widely used here today. Go on a visit to a coffee plantation in Bali, and you will find an ibu rattling a pile of beans in a scorched saucepan.

you have to practice,” explains Australian born Rodney Glick, as he checks temperature and sweeps a wooden spatula through a lightly bubbling golden-orange brew of light roast Flores Bajawa Ngura coffee.

This technique could yield good results if certain third wave principles about freshness were followed. But in the main, Bali coffee is roasted until black, ground to a powder and stored in plastic, which means it has a bitter taste and gets stale fast. Served without straining there’s a knack to waiting for the sediment to settle before drinking to ensure you don’t get a mouthful of sharp gritty grounds. Not a particularly edifying experience.

For Seniman, the pair do just that, sourcing fair trade, organic, single origin, specialist coffees from six regions of Indonesia. Through own roasting and brewing, not only do they have unique tastes, “but one bean can taste completely different depending on what we do with it,” explains Sullivan.

Mind you western techniques weren’t particularly sophisticated either for many years. History books abound with coffee diatribes about its quality. “You can tell when you have crossed the frontier into Germany because of the badness of the coffee,” complained Edward VII in the 1800’s. Perhaps the Italians managed better because Pope Leo XII waxed lyrical about the cup “Last comes the beverage of the Orient shore, Mocha, far off, the fragrant berries bore. Taste the dark fluid with a dainty lip, Digestion waits on pleasure as you sip.” Italians notwithstanding, the era of coffee making known as the ‘first wave’ of global coffee production wasn’t and isn’t a quality affair. It basically involved the spread of instant convenience coffee – a post World War II phenomenon, and pushed the likes of Maxwell House and Nescafe to the forefront of the coffee selling scene. Coffee ground and dried to create a sharp flavoured instant coffee was hardly gourmet, Rather, it was the pick-me-up buzz quality of coffee that was the attraction. So prevalent is the first wave that it is still is the main form of coffee consumption, with 80% of coffee being turned into instant granules still today. Somewhere in the late 60’s the ‘second w a v e ’ o f c o ff e e began. Espresso techniques began to spread, and companies such as b e h e m o t h Starbucks began selling specialty grade coffees and creating an aspirational hangout coffee scene. Latte’s, cappuccinos, frappe’s using coffee from far-flung Columbia, Kenya or Java created an exoticism for the brew. Flavours and consistency improved, expensive machines were created and a new wave of coffee culture swept the planet. But this was still not enough for many. Home roasters and coffee aficionados continued to experiment with different ways to improve coffee flavours. The Japanese and Taiwanese in particular were early pioneers of what has become the third wave, applying the complex ideas already present in their tea rituals to create different ways to prepare and serve cups of coffee. This phenomenon is now spreading slowly with the opening of mainly niche coffee shops dedicated to creating extracting different flavourful effects out of the humble bean. Pulitzer Prize winning food critic Jonathan Gold of the LA Weekly defined this new attitude to coffee as follows: “We are now in the third wave of coffee connoisseurship, where beans are sourced from farms instead of countries, roasting is about bringing out rather than incinerating the unique characteristics of each bean, and the flavor is clean and hard and pure.” One of the first places in Bali to espouse this method of coffee making is Ubud’s Seniman coffee house. “Using the syphon is like learning to play a musical instrument. A little knowledge makes a basic cup, but to extract a good coffee

For Glick, and his business partner Dave Sullivan, it’s all about a return to distinctive flavours. “The 3rd wave is akin to the slow food movement,” explains Sullivan. “Its about freshness, quality and taste. Third-wave adherents aim to source the best coffee from around the world, mainly grown on single estates, usually at high altitudes, with controlled temperature, light and oxygen levels making the beans ripen slowly and allowing the flavour to concentrate. Once these coffees are selected then the decision about which coffees are appropriate for particular brewing methods begins.

Their brewing process involves plenty of gizmos. There are chemistry lab style Japanese siphons which they use to make their regular black c o ff e e s , a c h u n k y, lovingly restored 1950’s Italian antique espresso maker, a variety of UK coffee presses, some simple Taiwanese temperature control pots and filters – a cornucopia of coffee roasting, grinding and brewing paraphernalia. A visit there means indulging in some great coffee theatre as the pseudo chemistry lab style coffee making procedures take place. Seniman will soon start their own workshops to pass on this knowledge to their enthusiastic 3rd wave customers. “The most-important piece of equipment to produce a perfect brew at home is a grinder,” says Sullivan “It helps to have pressure and temperature control gadgets, but the domestic market has yet to see many appropriate products for this trend; so fresh grinding will get you closest to releasing the flavour of a good cup.” Seniman, Jln Sri Wedari, Ubud Lady Jekyll once said, “Good coffee may come from Arabia or India, from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, or via France with an admixture of chicory; but its flavor and excellence will be derived from daily careful roasting and grinding, a truism universally admitted and habitually disregarded.” For coffee obsessive Asher Yaron of F.R.E.A.K, the above statement reflects the key to a good coffee. Judicious roasting - he has created his own roasting machine for that purpose – and grinding only before serving are paramount to bring out the complex flavours inherent in the bean. “Coffee has four times as much flavor as wine,” he insists, and to extract that requires careful preparation. He views coffee as a “living food, a powerful way to access your consciousness.” Indeed this was one of the main uses of coffee, particularly in countries, which don’t allow the use of alcohol. Yaron has closely studied its properties in this light in his bid to create the best cup, knows when its breathing, mutating, and how long various coffee bean mutations need to taste good. Freshness is key. Yaron maintains that coffee needs to be consumed within three days of roasting, and he’s so committed to this idea, that F.R.E.A.K takes back all coffee supplied to other outlets every three days if not used, and re-supplies with fresh roast. For their own shops they roast daily. Using only 100% Arabica grown organically by his partner, farmer I Nyoman Wirata in Kintimani, means they’re able to control the quality of their beans from cherry to cup. “I would almost describe what we do as a fourth wave approach,” he said. “We take just one type of bean, grown in one area, and through our techniques of roast and preparation we can create all sorts of flavours in our coffees. ”You don’t need to import from South America or Kenya to make

a good cup,” he insists, “a coffee bean that is grown, roasted, ground and brewed in the same place can be made to taste very differently by applying particular roasting techniques. “It also doesn’t get fumigated during export, doesn’t have the chance to get stale and has a smaller carbon footprint.” If that wasn’t enough Yaron has also pioneered a way of cold pressing their three-day-old coffee to extract a brew that is loved by raw food-ists. The process creates a sweeter flavor with little bitterness and it will keep for three weeks in the fridge. Soon they will start infusing flavours into this coffee. This is coffee fine-tuned to create amazing variety from just one type of bean. And harking back to coffee houses’ original function as debating chambers and places of intellectual discourse Yaron has started holding events in the F.R.E.A.K shop where people can come and talk about their skills or causes close to their heart. A little cleaner than when Isaac Newton and Edmond Halley used a coffee house table to dissect a dolphin, but close to their early function. F.R.E.A.K coffee Jln, Hanoman, Ubud, Green School, Mambal, Alila Hotels, Coffee Copper, Nyuh Kuning Other places to find a special cup of coffee in Bali Anomali Jln Raya Ubud, Jln Laksmana Seminyak Started in 2007, this funky retro feel café is a Java import to Bali, and its urban feel is allpervasive. Think warehouse space, steel, graffiti-esque walls, a sort of industrial style mixed with eco recycled crates, and of course a roaster in situ. The vibe here is almost nerdy hip. Anomali is big into their single origin and, like Seniman, focus on local beans. They proudly source all their coffee from Indonesia and types include Aceh Gayo Organic, Papua Wamena, Flores Bajawa, Sumatra Mandailing Toraja Java Estate and Bali Kintamani. All their coffee is freshly roasted on site twice a week. Staff will then make it whichever way you want, syphon, drip, french press, etc. They do fancy fusions too – crème brule, or banana nut latte added to your coffee, this is one of the first chains that’s managed to significantly up the quality of their coffee offering by taking the third way. Sea Circus Jalan Kayu Aya, Seminyak In a small louvred building near Bodyworks, not far from Petitenget temple, is the small coffee obsessed Sea Circus café. A pairing with Aussie coffee aficionados 5 Senses, has led to close interaction with the farmers growing their coffee organically up in Kintimani, and to the purchase of a Synesso Cyncra machine – probably the only one in Indonesia. Barista jams take place when the 5 senses team are in town, and the occasional free coffee is dispensed to punters. Their coffee comes with big attention to detail; Aside from latte art, the cups are custom made to match the décor. Each drink arrives with a cookie, a fragrant frangipani and a ‘quotation’ Steve Job’s “stay hungry, stay foolish”, or Marilyn Monroe’s “The real love is a man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.” Sit and ruminate, or grab one of the photocopied overseas newspapers to while-away time while you sip.
