By The Coach

This Sporting Life Continuing in This Sporting Life’s roundup of sports in Bali in 2012, after surfing and cricket, this week we look at Australian Rules Football and the Bali Geckos AFL club. The Bali Geckos AFL club capped off a successful year both on and off the field by raising $13,072 for Men’s Health in the annual Movember Fundraising. The AFL season stated with a great weekend in Borneo where the Geckos managed to retain the ANZAC Day Cup with a great one-point win over the Jakarta Bintangs. In June it was the Bali Masters, with the Bali Geckos hosting 17 teams from around Australia and Asia to compete in the over-35’s 9-a-side event. The event was held at the fantastic facilities of the Canggu Club and it saw a very high level of footy played by all participating teams. The entire event was played in very good spirit and the Cup final saw the Darwin Dugongs get narrowly beaten by the Wembley Vets team from Perth in a very high quality game. 2012 saw the introduction of the junior development program starting in July at the Canggu Club. The program was free for all kids, with the aim of holding a junior carnival to follow this program with teams of juniors attending from Australia through the Auskick program. The 2012 Asian Championships was played in Pattaya, Thailand on Saturday 11th August. An undermanned Geckos team battled but lost their first 2 pool games to event finalists Jakarta Bintangs and eventual 2012 Champs Hong Kong Dragons. Game 3 was a win against the Philippines in their first ever Asian Champs appearance outside of Manila, with the final pool game a hard-fought defeat to Singapore Wombats. Failing to make the semi-finals by percentage the Geckos continued with tradition and finished the boat-race without spilling a single drop. The weekend was wrapped up with the annual Presidents Brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok on the Sunday afternoon. Seven teams (Bali Geckos, Jakarta Bintangs, Borneo Bears, Indonesia Garuda, Wembley Magpies, Mt Isa AFC and the Hurricanes (Perth) contested the 2012 Bali 9’s on October 6th at the Canggu Club. After the completion of the pool games the top 4 teams played off in the semi-finals, with Wembley Magpies def. Bali Geckos and Hurricanes def. Jakarta Bintangs. In the final the Hurricanes nudged out Wembley Magpies to win the 2012 Bali 9’s. Which brings us and 2012 to a close in the Mantra Bar and Restaurant in Seminyak, Quiksilver Indonesia in support of the Bali Gecko’s Mo-Fundraiser collected over 50 million Rupiah (over $5,000 AUD) that will be donated to the Mo and Sons program in Australia, who are using the money to raise the awareness of prostate cancer and male mental health.

There was a great turnout at Mantra for the evening’s festivities, at which many of the well over 100 attendees were in costume and sporting some very creepy moustaches. “We had a great crew that showed up to support the event,” said Bali Gecko Team Captain Michael Serong. “In the raffle and with the door charge we raised over 10 million, and from the signed Kelly Slater board a whopping 40 million, thanks to a very generous buyer. It was a fantastic effort by all members of the team who grew Mo’s to help raise money and awareness for men’s health issues especially prostate cancer and depression. The party was a huge success with a great turn out and plenty of money raised, and I would like to thank all who helped make it possible and donated prizes especially Paul and the crew at Quiksilver.”

C/Ns/G-30 May 12

Live music by Andy 6-String had the crowd well entertained to cap off a great evening, which was a perfect blend of fun and revelry coupled with a serious message and support for a worthy cause. The Bali Gecko’s Aussie Rules Football club team has been supporting the Mo and Sons organization to raise money for this worthy cause http://au.movember.com/team/490289, and this event was created to assist them in their efforts. C/Ns/I-12 Dec 12

The 13 member team has raised $8,637 AUD so far according to the Mo and Sons website and together with this event that total is now reaching $14,000 AUD! To find out more about the Mo and Sons program, see http:// au.movember.com/about/ Special thanks to the event sponsors Quiksilver Indonesia, Oakley Indonesia, Mantra Bar & Restaurant, NMD Board Co, W Retreat & Spa Bali, Pulau Dive & Charters, The Beach Club at Sandy Bay, Aman Group, Bali Learn to Surf, and BagLadys. Final word from Geckos President Mark Parthezius, who added “To put this in perspective, we are ranked team #215 out of 14,637 teams in Australia, so a MASSIVE thanks to all of those Mo Bros and Mo Sistas who supported both our team, it’s members and a fantastic fundraising cause.” SPORTS TRAINING As we are in the rainy season, many sports are suspended until the new year, so best check using the contact addresses below.

The Problem Of Used Cooking Oil Disposal Caritas Switzerland turns Bali’s used cooking oil into Biodiesel By Polly Christensen

The island of Bali is being offered a solution to recycle its used cooking oil into biodiesel. A Switzerland based NGO called Caritas Switzerland is currently collecting the cooking oil from Bali’s hotels and restaurants. As part of the framework, a small amount of revenue made from the collected oil will be given back to hotels and restaurants. Caritas Switzerland also encourages Indonesians to reduce their consumption of overused cooking oil as part of their socioeconomic development program. For Balinese communities, knowing about the dangers of reusing cooking oil and how to correctly dispose of the product is essential because the chemical structure of cooking oil undergoes changes during heating, and these changes can lead to deadly diseases, such as cancer. According to Caritas country representative T h o r s t e n Reckerzuegl, the release of used cooking oil into the environment can have disastrous impacts. Caritas Switzerland has conducted an in-depth survey of the situation regarding used cooking oil disposal from Balinese hotels and restaurants, which commenced in September 2010. Since this date, the government and other stakeholders have been convinced to support the project. The organization expects that between 150 to 250 hotels and restaurants will participate in the project to provide the minimum amount of used cooking oil, which is 1,000 litres per day. Based on the survey from more than 300 hotels and restaurants, as many as 16,6 cubic meter of used cooking oil is being disposed every week. About 50-60 per cent of which goes to waste pickers or functional intermediaries of small food stalls where it is re used to prepare food. About 10-20 per cent of hotels and restaurants dispose of their used cooking oil with solid waste straight to landfills where it will decompose through anaerobic digestion processes into methane, a very harmful greenhouse gas (25 times more climate-damaging than CO2). Oil also enters water bodies where it pollutes the aquatic environment and drinking water resources. About 20-40 per cent of Bali hotels and restaurants refused to disclose their used cooking oil disposal procedure to Caritas. PROJECT BALI When the project began in 2011, Caritas Switzerland approached agencies such as Bali Environment Authority, Tourism Agencies and the Bali Hotel Association to present the current problem and propose a viable solution. The government responded positively to the framework presented by Caritas Switzerland and a cooperation agreement with Denpasar Municipality was signed. With an important government support document in place, Caritas visited more than 340 hotels and restaurants in Bali to access information from key industry managers and win their appreciation towards the project. “There is no government regulation for disposal of cooking oil on the island, that is why we need the support from the government”, said Reckerzuegl. “When we started the study we found 10-20 per cent of oil was disposed of with solid waste into landfills. 50-60percent of the oil is reused for cooking purposes e.g. in small restaurants, and the whereabouts of the other 20-40 percent is unknown” Collection of used cooking oil from restaurants and hotel kitchens will commence in Bali’s tourist centres and will be transformed into biodiesel starting in January 2013. Caritas Switzerland is in the middle of establishing a not for profit social enterprise, focusing on oil collection and processing, where underprivileged people are employed and trained. The cooperating hotels can improve their CO2 balance, as well as demonstrate their ecological and social responsibility. The achieved CO2 reduction will be traded on the voluntary carbon market (GS VER) in the form of carbon-offset certificates according to the Gold Standard. After a successful

implementation of the project, Caritas Switzerland hopes to replicate their approach in other tourist areas providing jobs to the community. The NGO aims to set up and operate a processing plant in North Denpasar to convert Bali’s cooking oil to environmentally friendly Biodiesel. Parts of the machinery, including the tanks, are already installed. BIODIESEL PROCCESSOR Many hotels and restaurants in Bali are still reluctant to join the government-backed program as their kitchens have traditionally sold waste oil to buyers for a significantly higher price. While people have generally heard about the process of recycling ‘used oil’ most are not sure how this process takes place or what is involved in rerefining used cooking oil. In many cases, once a hotel disposes of their used oil at the local disposal facility, it is transferred to a recycling facility that uses different implements to process and filter the oil. Besides technical specifications, the single most important aspect of a waste-oil recycling machine is the question of its economic viability and whether it will cover operational costs. Although the recycling machine is made available through donations from international development aid funds from Switzerland and Germany the operational costs will need to be covered through income from the biodiesel production. Any financial surplus, which may be generated from selling the biodiesel will be used for social a n d environmental activities and the fuel will be available for use in hotel boilers, and generators in the near future. A Biodiesel Processor ‘Greenfuels, FullMatic 3’ has been ordered from the UK and is stored at Surabaya Port awaiting clearance. Caritas Switzerland is expecting to install the system and start operating in January 2013. BIODIESEL USES Biodiesel is an alternative fuel made from virgin vegetable oil or used vegetable oil. Even animal fats like beef tallow and fish oil can be used to make biodiesel fuel. Unlike fossil fuels, biodiesel is renewable and can be made domestically. The term biodiesel is often used with reference to true biodiesel, straight vegetable oil SVO (unused rape seed or corn oil), and waste vegetable oil WVO (used vegetable oil from restaurants etc). Diesel car engines can also run on a variety of fuels, including peanut oil and vegetable oil. These engines work by injecting the Biofuel into a chamber of compressed air, where it ignites. However in the framework offered by Caritas Switzerland, it is not economical for a customer to use biodiesel in their vehicle because subsidized fuel remains prominent within the Indonesian market place. “Our goal is to sell the biofuel to hotels and other interested customers to be used in generators or warm-water heaters. Hotels and restaurants can promote their support for this project by showing the public they are good corporate citizens who promote a responsible society,” explained Reckerzuegl. The Senior Program Officer at Caritas, Lili Saragih, recently answered some important questions about used cooking oil and biodiesel for our readers.

How many hotels are now on board? So far 102 hotels and restaurants in Bali are on board and signed the ‘Letter of Intent’. 27 of which have agreed to sell their used cooking oil to the project. In total, 129 hotels and restaurants are committed so far. McDonald’s is thought to be close to committing to the project as well. That will provide 4.7 cubic meters of waste cooking oil weekly. The break-even volume of waste cooking oil needed for the project is seven cubic meters per week and the project cannot be feasible without commitments from hotels and restaurants to meet that volume. How much oil goes to waste pickers? About 50-60 percent of used cooking oil generated in hotels and restaurants goes to waste pickers or functional intermediaries at small food stalls where it is reused to prepare food. This procedure is harmful to human health as it bears a high risk through carcinogenic substances formed in overused cooking oil. What are the benefits of using biodiesel? Biodiesel burns cleaner than petroleum diesel. It reduces the emission of harmful air pollutants, in particular asthmacausing soot. When used cooking oil is recycled billions of gallons of waste grease can be diverted from landfills and municipal sewage pipes, improving the quality of both air and water. Describe the hazards of prolonged heating? The amount of degradation increases with the duration of heating at high temperatures. The toxicity of these degraded products presents a serious health concern. Some of these substances have been found to be carcinogens. What are the health risks? Ingesting deep-fried oils has an effect on allergic reactions of the digestive tract, growth retardation, increased weight of the liver and kidneys and other biochemical reactions. Oil is usually heated to 170-220 °C (338-428 °F). When heated to these temperatures, in the presence of oxygen, the oil undergoes chemical reactions and changes its character. As the oil viscosity increases, its colour will grow darker and rancidity begins to develop. Do you collect the used cooking oil? The used cooking oil generated by participating hotels and restaurants is collected regularly and free of charge by distributing 30-litre jerry cans. Any full jerry cans will be exchanged with clean empty ones on a regular basis. We also cooperate with a computer science institute from Switzerland, which has developed specific software to optimize the route for our collections What happens when oil is dumped into drains? The convenience and irresponsibility of dumping used cooking oil down the drain may result in blockage to plumbing, which can end up in local waterways. Used cooking oil disposed of in water bodies increases the level of organic pollutants in the water. Since these organic pollutants are biodegradable, aerobic degradation processes start. This degradation process consumes oxygen dissolved in the water, resulting in a reduction of the oxygen level in the water. This in turn leads to lower water quality endangering fish stocks, and in extreme cases to turbid, oxygen-poor and sometimes even septic water bodies. How can Bali Advertiser readers help? Bali does not have a proper waste treatment structure or trash disposal system. Some of the rubbish and liquid ends up in makeshift dumps or they are literally thrown off the cliff into the ocean. We need your support to inform hotels and restaurants about our ‘free cooking oil collection service’. As a result, increased volumes of used cooking oil will be collected and properly recycled.

Wishing you a very healthy and joyous New Year! And what better way to start your 2013 celebrations by wearing a knockout new dress to dazzle, a fresh modern shirt with razzle and a glass of ‘fizz’ in hand, Cheers! Probably one of the major groups would be the jeweler and every time I venture into a shop, there is always a enticing array of jewels under a counter top. It’s rather incredible that very few collections are the same, all completely original. It certainly does help to live where the Bali artisan is working in silver, other metals & semi precious stores, translating an idea into a treasured piece.

AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, apart from what you are all going to wear for New Years Eve?This time of year can be rather reflective – planning, thinking, wondering, guessing what 2013 will bring to us? And, as we all know life can change for all at the flip of a Rupe, so my comment is, don’t wait yet another year to do what you have been thinking about, just go ahead and do it! LIFE IS TOO SHORT! Be it moving house, some kind of work (try a charity as they are always in need of another pair of hands) and if you have a hobby that is growing by the month, then give it a go and get out there and speak to people who may be interested in buying whatever it is you are making, a small fortune may just come your way?! Bali is an isle that is totally creative in so many forms, where opportunities are endless, and if you believe you have something to contribute then have a Go! I am totally in awe of the artisanal work that is performed in Bali, such truly gifted people and for most of the time, whatever they craft it all seems to happen, beautifully From the beading of a garment, to crafting an intricate piece of jewelry, the making of an item of furniture.... Mind you, it is often the people that have chosen to live in Bali that are at the helm of small business here, and applaud them for their own creative skills that’s instilled in their being, to have the opportunity to unleash their own potential.

The same goes for beading, embroidering and other embellishments that adorn a dress, the hours of intense labor, the accuracy to get it right, no wonder the price is higher than a little piece that has been run up on both sides! People make regular comment about how the prices of goods/services in Bali have increased and they have, but then labor rates have risen, the cost of materials etc, it’s rather strange that our visitors accept that the cost of living increases in their own countries but feel miffed that Bali prices have increased too! However, despite the increases here, overall, Bali is still a most livable isle to reside and a gem to visit! Now, going back to frocks for New Years Eve or to buy for a forthcoming event, take a look at a handful of boutiques that showcase some truly fabulous beaded beauties!

Uma & Leopold, Lily Jean, Magali Pascal & Lulu Jasmin Farah Khan specialises in totally beaded sequin numbers, often found in some of the highend hotel boutiques like the W hotel & The Legian.

retailers specialising in linen, cottons & silks Biasa, Paul Ropp, Milo and Quarzia and, for men try Jl.Oberoi 1 & Nico Perez who is soon to open a new store on Jl Petitenget. Oh yes, I do love FolkArt Gallery for their showcase of absolute genuine treasures from Burma and other countries in South East Asia. Over to furniture now for a name or two, three or four - check out the following retail for a new piece or a suite for your home or office ? -

Zapp Design, Rock’oco, Living Karma, Bagatelle the Orchard, plus Bungalow in Canggu (remember, for furniture you need to be patient as most items need to be manufactured, for any details send me a line). And, a note re product from India which does share a similar ‘look/feel’ with Bali product, check out Kalyan opposite Biasa, Jl Raya Seminyak, they have (amongst other fashionable items) the most wonderful bedcovers! To finish my list of often visited fave stores that always offer something divine to buy are Carga - look at the unique Frida Khelo cushions Maidenlove – an electic range from vintage fashion, bikinis, sunnies, bags & sandals IndiVie – a vast assortment of eco friendly designer gifts – jewelry, home, stationary & textiles. Disini and Mercredi – splendid homewares Paradis and Bathe – for delicious body product and, for the most fabulous fabric, Alta Moda!!!! This is it from me to you so there you have it -

For jewelers who don’t have their own stores unlike Maru on Jl Oberoi & Tulola on Jl Petitenget, most have displays in all of the above boutiques........ with some of the most fabulous jewelry on show in the Biasa stores and Namu, opposite BIKU restaurant. Now, there are some absolute evergreen fashion

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

BALI OR BRADFORD, THE CONCERNS ARE THE SAME Late November I spent a few days in the UK. Any chance of escaping from the kind of financial woes that exist in Indonesia? – No way! The news media was full of the same topics that preoccupy us here and served as a reminder that we cannot afford to neglect these issues, wherever we live. Starting with floods Indonesia is no stranger to flooding and Bali regularly gets its fair share, with landslides and earthquakes thrown in. In the UK many areas stretching from the south-west to the north-east suffered unprecedented flooding as a result of several days of unabated rain. I took a train from London to Leeds and never realised there were so many lakes across the middle of England! One of the concerns voiced in the media was that householders in newly flooded areas may not be able to find insurance against flooding in the future. So I guess the moral is, if you can get property insurance now, do not fail to do so. Taking it a stage further, the same applies to any form of insurance, including life and medical. It’s too late to apply once you have signs of a serious illness. There have been cases of claims on life insurance rejected by life companies’ medical experts because they deemed a condition existed prior to the policy being taken out, even though the condition was not picked up during the medical exam. Burdened with loans? Clearly many people in the UK are. And not just loans for big items like houses or cars, but also high interest loans just to make ends meet. These are generally taken up by people who can least afford to repay them, resulting in a downward spiral to misery, aggravated by extortionate rates of interest. The latter is what the British government is seeking to control, and it will join the good company of Germany, Canada, Australia and the US, all of which have placed caps on the rates that loan companies can charge. In Indonesia no such caps exist. It is left to the individual to resist borrowing money at outrageous rates. The credit card companies are bad enough but I hesitate to ask what rates are charged by all the ‘kindly’ loan companies who offer their services, particularly by way of spam text messages which interrupt our privacy several times a day.

but your name and number will be sold on to many other spammers as an easy picking for other companies.

Yes, they are a nuisance in the UK too. – But the difference is that they are illegal and the law can clamp down on them. Last month a firm called Tetrus Telecoms was fined four hundred and forty thousand pounds (about seven billion Rupiah) for sending out millions of spam text messages. Any chance we can expect similar treatment of the nuisance in Indonesia? And finally, a familiar topic Assuming we live long enough, everyone is faced with retirement at some point. Western countries like the UK have helped prepare people for it for decades. Big companies have traditionally provided generous pension schemes which enabled workers to retire on a given percentage of their final salaries. But something has gone badly wrong. A headline in one daily newspaper last month read ‘Britain’s corporate stars face pension time bomb.’ The calculations to fund pensions were made in an era of high returns from the financial markets. The last decade has seen a collapse in these returns resulting in big companies like BP, BAE Systems, Shell, Rio Tinto, British Airways and Unilever to mention just a few, being burdened by commitments of billions of pounds to pensions falling under the old regime of defined benefits. No such issue in Indonesia where pension funding is a relatively new concept. But it is a reminder to all that neither governments nor companies can be relied upon to provide for us completely in retirement. For British pensioners it is even worse as their pensions are frozen in many countries, including Indonesia. That is why some long term pensioners today are living on pensions equivalent to less than Rp.100,000 a month. There is an action group of pensioners in Bali with a very active secretary who is campaigning the British government. If you are in a similar boat now or could be in the future I will be happy to put you in touch with the group.

Whatever your nationality, or however long you have until retirement, it is an issue that needs to be taken on board yesterday at the latest!

How much do those messages cost you? Colin Bloodworth has worked as a financial adviser On the subject of spam text messages, Indonesian mobile phone owners are not alone in the world. You may think it costs you nothing to read and delete but have you ever put a value to the time you waste on them? You may be tempted to request your removal from the sender’s database or even reply abusively. Unfortunately this will only confirm to the sender that your number is active and it could be sold on to other spammers! If they didn’t get hold of your number this way in the first place the chances are that yours is just one of thousands of random numbers they try. The only way to deal with spam text messages is to ignore and delete. Much the same as with e-mails. No matter how tempting the offer, ignore it. If you respond positively not only will you be sucked into a possible scam

Say What? Question: Wherever I work, I always end up “alone.” When it comes time to pair up or huddle together, whether for lunch, breaks, assignments or whatever, I’m generally the only one without a group or partner. I’m kind of shy, and I don’t always have a lot to say, but I don’t think I’m unapproachable. I try to initiate conversations, but after the other person’s response, that’s as far as it goes. I love my job. The work is dependable and not boring, but the lack of socializing is depressing. How do I come out of the shell I don’t think I’m in? There must be something I’m doing wrong. Dr. ZZ: The secret to being a good conversationalist lies in being “interested’ rather than “interesting.” People love to talk about themselves. So ask your co-workers how their work is going. (“Busy?”) Or ask if they did anything interesting on their day off. Then listen carefully to their response, and remember a few of the details. The next day, if they have told you that they had a toothache, or that a family member was ill, ask how the tooth or their relative is doing. Most people will be so impressed that you remembered these details about them they will take an instant liking to you. It’s not difficult. Just be interested in others and demonstrate your interest. You’ll be an instant hit. Question: My boyfriend and I love each other very much. We have no problems regarding love or that kind of thing. What we have is a racial/religious issue. Not between us or our families, but with those around us: friends and neighbors, etc. He is Balinese, and I am American. He is also Hindu, and I am pagan. We have no problems with this, nor do our families, but we live in a conservative Muslim area, and our neighbors and friends object to our union for the most part. Some even scorn and shun us. Is there anything we can do to get through this, or at least try to explain to them how we feel? We’ve tried everything we can think of. We have even thought of moving, but we want that to be a last resort as the place we live is clean and friendly on the whole with low crime and pollution. Please help! Any advice you can give would help us greatly. Dr. ZZ: With so much violence in the world, it is a shame that people fail to recognize and honor love. If your differences are of no consequence to you and your boyfriend, then they should likewise be of no concern to others. Yet bored, unhappy people wield gossip in an attempt to distract themselves from their own miserable lives. Wagging their tongues in an effort to make themselves feel better, they puff themselves up and pretend that they know better than you what is best for you.

This is not the hallmark of friendship. There is no explaining yourselves to people like this; they are ignorant. Your best bet is to celebrate your love in spite of your surroundings and to endure the sense of isolation you feel from your neighbors. As you make new friends who support you, other better places to live may open up. For the time being, do not let your neighbors run you off. Do your best to transcend and rise above their pettiness. Question: For the past 3 months, I have been going out with a woman who is quite a few years older than I. From the start, she emphasized that she wanted to be no more than just friends. So I respected that. I never flirted with her or hit on her in any way. Then, all of a sudden, she started flirting and hitting on me. I never asked to be romantic until one night. We were at her place listening to music, and she started holding my hand and kissing me. When I failed to resist, she took off her shirt, and it didn’t go any further than that. That night she said, “I guess we have established that we are more than just friends.” A few days later, she was a totally different person. Now, she doesn’t want to speak to me or see me as often as we used to. All I hear from her now is, “I am not going down that path with you. I don’t take my shirt off for my friends. You will never be more than a friend.” When I remind her that she took off her shirt for me, her answer is always “I was lonely and confused.” I need your opinion.

C/E/I-22 August 12

Dr. ZZ: From your description, it appears as if something else is going in the background for this woman. The inconsistency of her responses suggests possible drug use, alcohol involvement or an underlying personality disorder. For lack of a better assessment, chances are she defined herself accurately when she said she was lonely and confused. Her erratic tone might also have to do with a change in attitude on your part. Although you did not prompt her to take off her shirt in the first instance, you may have interpreted that one dalliance as an open invitation for more of the same to follow. This is a woman who obviously wants to be in control. Your best strategy is to allow her to be Captain without holding her to previous actions. Just because she kissed you once doesn’t mean she is going to kiss you again. It also doesn’t mean she won’t – as long as you stick to her guidelines and continue to remain “friends” while she calls the shots. Copyright © 2012 Say What?

NC/E/U-12 Dec. 12

In a large bowl beat the brown sugar, pumpkin, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and half of the yogurt/milk mixture. When this is well mixed add the flour mixture and stir until incorporated. Now add the remaining yogurt/milk mixture a bit at a time until the batter is just thin enough to pour.

Ingredients: - 1/2 cup white flour - 1/2 cup whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup buckwheat flour, or spelt or oat - 1 Tbl. baking powder - 1 tsp. salt - 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg - 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon - 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom - 5 Tbl. brown sugar or grated palm sugar - 3/4 cup fresh pumpkin puree - stream the seeded pumpkin pieces until soft, take off the skin, and whirl in a blender - 5 Tbl. melted butter - 2 eggs

by Dr. Rob The Unseen Things Paintings by Wayan Sujana Suklu At Komaneka Gallery, Jl. Monkey Forest, Ubud Tel: 4012217

‘Sahabat’ is a pure abstract form. These are just three examples of Wayan Sujana Suklu’s work. The exhibition is very stimulating, and well worth a visit.

For the first decade of Wayan Sujana Suklu’s art he was always concerned with discovering the connections between the earth and humans, and thus the liberation of mankind’s free spirit. With his latest works, that are currently on display at the Komaneka Gallery in an exhibition entitled ‘The Unseen Things’, Wayan Sujana Suklu still consistently endeavors to find the things which connect him as an artist with the many people, with different talents, he meets during his artistic journey.

Treasure Islands Paintings and Installation by Made Wianta At Gaya Art Space, Jl. Raya Sayan, Ubud Tel: 979252

Wahyu Suteja, the director of the Komaneka Gallery, says of Suklu: “I am always excited when I meet with an artist because I find some things which I have never seen before. In his exhibitions, Wayan Sujana Suklu Sepasang always presents new and exciting ideas. Masa Lalu I have known Wayan Sujana Suklu for more than ten years, and his new art works have always managed to surprise me. Wayan Sujana Suklu always inds new things in his life from which he can make very interesting art works”. Along with his search for elusive personal connections as his subject matter, Wayan Sujana Suklu also uses various techniques and inspiration from Balinese culture, to create aesthetic relationships in his work which can take the form of interactive Kepingan Rupa paintings and installation pieces. Speaking of his art, Wayan Sujana Suklu states: “When I see and feel things I try to use my imagination to make art. But, in the mean time, I also try to make art that can be an artistic collaboration between other artists, which can result in an interactive process for the public”. At the opening of the exhibition, Wayan Sujana Suklu’s installation work was very much on display. Agung Gunawan, a dancer from Yogyakarta, responded to an artistic environment designed by the Balinese architect Yokasara. A video element was also included in the installation, and the work was created from found scrap metal, and accompanied by live contemporary music from Balinese musicians. For his exhibition, ‘The Unseen Things’, Wayan Sujana Suklu presents many paintings in many different mediums, such as inks, acrylic, and charcoal on canvas. He also presents many different subject matters. ‘Sepasang Masa Lalu’ shows a dancer in motion. ‘Kepingan Rupa’ is a finely detailed illustration of a nut or fruit, while,

Sahabat

Gaya Art Space is presenting a new installation work from Made Wianta, who is probably Bali’s best known local and international artist. ‘Treasure Islands’ Treasure Islands is a series of art works which are Installation inspired by the mining of Indonesia’s natural resources. These minerals can be seen as the main treasures within the archipelago. Wianta’s concept comes from the procedures of Barong making, one of Bali’s mythical monsters. Some of the materials that are required to create a Barong, such as raw buffalo leather, mirrors, and nails, are used in Wianta’s creative processes. There is no religious content or interpretation intended in Treasure Islands Wianta’s pieces. The raw buffalo leather represents an island. The textures and colors of this leather evoke the surface of a dry landscape. While, Wianta spreads a handful of mirrors to symbolize Indonesia’s mineral treasures. These mirrors also signify reflections of human greed. The nails are used to portray the sharpness of a mind in uncovering these treasures, as well as the sharpness of the tools that are used in mining them. Made Wianta feels that the mining of natural resources is often the source of conflict which can harm civilians and destroyed the ecosystem. Through ‘Treasure Islands’ Detail of Made Wianta likes to remind us of the real Treasure Islands price, in terms of blood, tears and violence, of excessively exploiting Indonesia’s precious natural resources. Inventing Art, the paintings of Batuan, Bali Balinese Paintings from the village of Batuan, curated by Bruce Granquist At ARMA Museum, Jl. Pengosekan, Ubud. Tel: 976659 An excellent exhibition of paintings from the Balinese village of Batuan is on display at the ARMA museum. This show has been curated by Bruce Granquist, however, it should be made clear that the works displayed are intended to support the release of his stunning book ‘Inventing Art, the paintings of Batuan, Bali’.

Bruce Granquist is a long term Bali resident, and his authoritative volume is the result of 3 ½ years of direct field interviews with the painters active in Batuan, along with an extensive mapping project to locate the homes of all these Inventing Art, painters within the village. One important Book Cover and ground breaking element of this book is a 45 page section that defines Batuan paintings according to 8 different qualifications. Essentially, this section explains how the painters start with an empty page and build their paintings step by step into complex images. This section shows how the Batuan artists create paintings which illustrate the everyday environment of their village, synthesized together with images inspired by the spirit world. Their paintings are at once recognizable, and at the same time startling and surrealistic. The exhibition is extremely stimulating and very informative, however, Bruce Granquist’s book is absolutely fantastic, and will be a welcome addition to every library of anyone who is seriously interested in the development of Balinese art.

ARDEN DOCTOR

by The Garden Doctor

by Dr. Kris

Frangipani Rust

“Dear Dr. Kris, My frangipani has been ravaged by some sort of yellow spotty growth that seems to be making my plants sick. The leaves dry and fall, it’s getting worse, and I don’t have many flowers either. It is growing underneath the leaves. What is this, and how do I make my frangipani healthy again? Thanks, Robert”

purchased from various garden centres and hardware outlets in Bali. Neem oil is available globally, I inform you of this fact as our international readership will also be familiar with this problem, as frangipani rust can be found in any climate affected by seasonal humidity, and is most definitely not a problem that is only restricted to Bali or the tropics of Indonesia. Whilst Neem is organic, it is also poisonous so handle with care, organic doesn’t always equal non-toxic.

Thank you for the question, Robert. These spots are indicative of a fungus known as the frangipani or plumeria rust. We inevitably re-visit this problem every year, particularly at his time of year in Bali when the wet season is upon us. The rust is directly related to high humidity levels, as is the case with most types of fungus. You will notice this becomes more prevalent coming into, and advances through the wet season. It starts as yellow / orange tinged pustules or sacs on the undersides of leaves and can spread to the stems of frangipani trees, giving a rusted on appearance. It is very unsightly and causes premature leaf drop. Frangipanis, that are severely affected can be fatally weakened, usually younger plants. Copper based sprays can be used as preventative measure, but are usually ineffective once the rust symptoms have become evident.

Spraying against frangipani rust

A first step measure would be prompt removal of the first infected leaves and this may even help to solve the problem (literally nip it in the bud). Improve air circulation by reducing crowded areas of plants, in this way reducing humidity. The fungus can spread by the wind, infected soil, or even garden tools. This means that even if you take necessary precautions your plants may still become infected from spores on neighboring properties or even come from plants kilometers away. The frangipani rust also highlights the importance of thoroughly washing and cleaning garden tools after use, and cleaning up garden debris that are likely sources for further spread of the disease. For example, fallen leaves infected with the fungus can spread to the soil. If you use a shovel in an infected part of the garden bed, you can easily transfer it to another area. Likewise you can pass it on to other plants if you have pruned foliage or branches from an infected tree, without washing your tools before trimming another frangipani. Wash pruning tools with hot soapy water, before and after pruning plants. Collecting and removing fallen leaves to the rubbish, definitely not the compost, is one strategy to reduce reinfection. As mentioned, neighboring trees that are infected will provide a wind borne source for fungal spores, frangipani are literally everywhere in Bali, so it is easy for this fungus to spread like the plague, and it does! Over the past few years some of my readers have offered their own solutions, and homemade remedies, thanks to these contributors for their helpful advice, as follows. “I think this years, “rust” is the worst I have seen in 20 years but I think it is being caused by a new type of white fly being introduced into the area. Whiteflies cause the frangipanis to be much more prone to various fungi and mold. I have sprayed mine with insecticide which killed the white flies and cleared up the molds - Jeff Clayton.” “We identified some rust on one of our frangipani and were able to take immediate action which we hope will resolve the situation. We used a soap based spray we make by producing a paste of Wings (clothing detergent) and kerosene, then dilute with water when we are ready to use. We have used this quite successfully on the tiny white flies that sometimes invade our lemons, mengkudu, and kemuning. We only use organic sprays on our fruit trees and vegetables, the other spray we use is Neem Oil - James & Kristianti.” For those of you that are unaware, I have previously advised readers to use Neem Oil for frangipani rust, which can be

NC/Ho/I-26 Dec 12

Mix 1 heaping tablespoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of neem oil, and a few drops of washing up detergent or dish soap in 2 litres of water. Spray the whole plant once per week, or after rain. This should help to keep your leaves on the plant. Other organic solutions you can try include a mixture of powdered milk, water and a few drops of dish soap. Some swear by using chamomile tea mixed with or without milk. Remember whatever you use it is important to spray every leaf, especially on the underside. You don’t have to spray, if you don’t want to. The frangipani rust, whilst unattractive, bordering on disgusting in appearance, rarely kills frangipani. Just make sure that all diseased leaves are either pruned or cleaned from the ground and disposed of properly to prevent the severity and re-infection of the tree. Whether you use an organic or chemical fungicide the problem may still be difficult to control. As a last resort you could use a general fungicide which contains sulfur. Alternatively a copper based fungicide or white oil solution are also effective, but don’t always produce the same results year to year, and are better used as a prevention before the wet season arrives. Rust can also indicate your frangipani is lacking trace elements and other essential nutrients. Add seaweed fertilizer or fish emulsion, to the soil few times a year as part of an overall strategy. Prevention is better than a cure, and there is no better preventative measure than good health!

C/Ho/G-12 Dec. 12

Rusts are generally very difficult to control, use the combination of strategies, spray, clean and fertilise. Rust-free leaves will appear at the end of the wet season (April- May). The rust problem will clear up at this time. Without treatment it is likely to appear again around November-December. If you are a gardener and you live in Bali you will simply have to learn accept that rust is coming every year whether you like or not, so be prepared. Maybe it is just another part or extension of the Balinese philosophy of balance, taking the good with the bad! The rust has been observed to sometimes infect different varieties from year to year, definitive results are not available, though I can assure you that horticulturalists are investigating the possibility of varying degrees of disease resistance among frangipani varieties, like ‘pudica’ and others that have some degree of resistance.

Finally now is as a good time as any to get on top of any gardening problems that you may have, to all readers don’t hesitate to contact me with your questions, I expect to hear from you soon! Selamat Tahun Baru, Best wishes for the New Year! Dr. Kris

Swimming pool always green?

“Taming The Beast” I am sure you know the feeling well. A special occasion has come up. You decide to take your beloved for a weekend away. You book into a hotel. You want a hotel with a bit of character so you avoid those toytown modern creations and go for something more up market and with a bit of character to it. Character? Did I say a building with character or character building? You enter the room, there is that inevitable Indonesian hotel marketing feature of the acrid smell of stale tobacco smoke coughed up from the lungs of hundreds of emphysema ravaged persons which has permeated the room and everything in it. The cigarette burn on the edge of the cabinet says it all. The room is cold, very cold, somehow in this country luxury means colder than an eskimo’s buttocks. You hunt for the control, a strange and not very confidence building sliding device on the wall. You slide it, nothing happens, you slide it the other way still nothing happens. The rush of cold air is as controllable as a schizophrenic rhinoceros on a lead. In desperation you have another go ……… a sense of inevitability creeps through you as the slider comes off in your hand. Eventually you climb into bed and, pulling the single sheet up over your head to keep the frostbite away and drown out the incessant drumming of some hidden and uncontrollable fan, you fall into a deep sleep…… You start dreaming of falling into an icy river and gasping for breath and, shivering, you wake up - the water and ice is gone but you are still shivering. You rummage desperately through your suitcase trying to find something warm to put on and, with 5 tee shirts and a bath towel wrapped around you, you climb back into bed. Eventually the grey hue of morning comes and you wake from a disturbed sleep feeling like a bus load of sumo wrestlers ran over your head. You yearn for a refreshing shower to try and restart your day. You hop into the bath and turn on the shower - cold water. You wait for a while and slowly the water heats up a smidgeon to “almost barely luke warm” on the hotel bathroom temperature scale. You adjust the temperature and manage to achieve “not quite luke warm but getting fairly close” but then, just as you launch yourself under the flow, it turns to “cold as a polar bear’s ears”. How did it do that? You look around nervously for the sensor that told the plumbing system the exact time to sabotage you. You turn down the cold tap and the water warms a little but then the flow peters out to a mere dribble. Nothing you try works, there is no hot water and your mind inevitably wanders to some smug bar steward in another room who stole your water and is enjoying a nice hot shower. You suppress a burning desire to run down the corridor banging on the room doors shouting “give me back my hot water you selfish swine, I hope it scalds your nuts off.” But then suddenly your cogitation is broken as the hot water returns with a scalding element of surprise. Cursing you jump out from under the shower your feet slithering around on the curved surfaces of the bath. Stretching to avoid the water you adjust the temperature by adding some cold and once again you slide gingerly under the flow. But then, with a cough and a belch, some distant knocking and finally that familiar sound of the flatulent cow of doom, the flow dries up leaving you with a dribble not even strong enough to struggle its weary way up to the shower head. You look around for a solution and in desperation you grab the waste bin and pulling out the bin liner, you fill it with cold water from the sink and start hysterically pouring it over your head…….. The cantankerous, character building nature of hotel air conditioning and plumbing is legendary and behind the scenes hotel engineers have, for generations, struggled through long days and even longer nights wresting with a beast they can neither understand nor tame. The older a hotel gets the more cantankerous its systems become. If you are ever brave enough to venture into the bowels of a large ageing hotel you will find a veritable dog’s breakfast of systems that have been modified and modified and modified again over eons (there’s that word again) of time by frustrated Artisans who have run out of art long ago leaving nothing but the sans (look it up in a French dictionary). Hotels for some strange reason think big. Perhaps at the design stage some bored engineer starts to wet his pants with excitement at the thought of designing some mammoth complex engineering masterpiece. Many hotels use large centralised systems for air conditioning, water supply and water heating. We must assume that the reason is for greater efficiency and therefore lower cost but is this really the case? These large systems must keep running regardless of how many or how few people are in the building. They may be fine for a factory with large open spaces or in an office building where rooms are nearly always occupied through the day but in a hotel where occupancy fluctuates there are great advantages in only cooling and providing hot water to the spaces that are occupied.

These large centralised systems present a major challenge in terms of control at the local (individual room) level.

Large air conditioning systems distribute air by sending cold air down long networks of ducting. Delivering the right amount of air at the right temperature can be very difficult particularly when you consider that some rooms are close to the air conditioner while others are 25 million miles away. Similarly problems occur with hot water systems. Corridors can be very long and, once again, some rooms may be fairly close to the water heater while other rooms may be a long way away and it may take several minutes for the hot water to get to bathrooms in the nether regions. To solve this problem large hotels often use recirculating hot water systems. A circulation pipe carries the hot water from a large centralised heater around the rooms and back to the heater. A pump keeps the hot water continuously circulating so that there is always hot water in the pipe as it passes close to each bathroom and (theoretically) if you turn a hot tap on you will always get instant hot water. All very well in theory but we all know that theory and practice are often two totally different things. This arrangement has several problems. The first is that the hotel is continuously heating water even if it is not being used or, at times of low occupancy only a small amount is being used, this is expensive. Secondly the reality is that one heater is supplying hot water in varying amounts to many bathrooms, some near and some far away through a single pipe. Inevitably the people in the furthest bathrooms are likely to be the last in the queue for hot water and the pressure in the pipe is going to vary as people all along the way turn their showers on and off. This is why there are fluctuations both in the pressure and temperature of the water you receive in your bathroom.

C/BM/I-26 Dec 12

A far better approach that is becoming more popular these days is to have small independent systems for each room. You will note that many hotels these days are starting to install individual air conditioning units for each room. This approach can also be applied to plumbing services with small individual pressure pumps and water heaters to supply the bathrooms. A large bore pipe delivers cold low pressure water to the rooms. At each bathroom a small individual pump draws water from the supply pipe and feeds it to the bathroom thereby providing stable water pressure that is independent of the rest of the system. Each bathroom also has its own water heater thereby guaranteeing hot water regardless of what is happening in the rest of the hotel. Water is only heated when the room is occupied and only pressurised when it is being used. In addition if the hotel has independent air conditioners and water heaters for the rooms a further step can be taken and that is to provide an air conditioner water heater with an electric booster element on a timer for each bathroom. These units are only a little more expensive to buy than a standard electric water heater and provide free hot water. Hot water bills in a hotel can be a very expensive item in the budget.

C/BM/G-28 Nov. 12

The use of small independent systems can provide a number of advantages: - They use standard mass produced air conditioners, water heaters and pumps and so are not expensive to install. - If a unit fails only one room is put our of action. - Customers have far greater control over the room temperature and the pressure and temperature of the water in the bathroom. - You don’t need a highly trained engineer to continuously manage a complex system. - Operating costs reduce proportionally when occupancy rates are low. - You save the cost of continually maintaining pressure and heat in the system whether people are using it or not. These principles may also apply to small villa developments and ordinary houses particularly if they have more than one floor or there are long distances between buildings. If some profit minded individual wishes to sell you a more expensive pump and provides you with something large enough to irrigate the Sahara Desert you are left with the problem of trying to tame the beast. A design that breaks down your systems into small independently managed services may well provide you with a more effective system. So next time you are hopping around on one leg in some supposedly five star hotel bathroom and the water has spluttered to a freezing halt you might decide that there really is no excuse for this and, rather than running around the corridors abusing everyone you meet, you might consider venting your spleen with a letter to the hotel management company.

DVD

Liz & Dick If you are old enough to remember Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s high jinks on the set in Rome in 1961, while they were making their turgid version of ‘Cleopatra’, then, you should get a few laughs out of this movie. The movie depicts their torrid affair, followed by their two rowdy marriages. Also, their extravagant lifestyle, Elizabeth’s taste for expensive trinkets, and Richard’s obsessive jealousy over Elizabeth’s tremendous screen presence, a gift which Richard sadly lacked. Hollywood’s current favorite ‘bad’ girl, Lindsay Lohan, makes a rather good Taylor, however, her co-star, Grant Bowler, as Burton, is pretty ponderous. Meanwhile, director Lloyd Kramer must have shot his movie tongue-in-cheek. There is no way you can take this trash seriously. This is one of those movies which is so bad, that it is good. The Words A famous author is giving a reading of his latest novel. As he narrates his story, we discover that it is all about a failing writer who finds a manuscript hidden in a briefcase which he bought from an antique shop. The writer decides to publish this work as his own. As he is enjoying immense literary success, the original author of the novel turns up, and, in turn, we are to find out the reasons why this writer wrote his story in the first place. This very intriguing story within a story within a story is created by screenwriter Keith Thompson, however, by the end of the movie, we are still none the wiser as to who is responsible for the whole literary exercise. This fascinating movie is extremely well directed by Lee Sternthal, and his very impressive cast includes Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons, Dennis Quaid, and Olivia Wilde. The Sapphires Here we go again with another ‘rags to riches’ show business story, yet, this real life Australian one is most unusual and very interesting. Four aborigine girls, fresh from a mission settlement, compete in a talent quest in an outback Australian pub. The girls are by far the best thing in the contest; however, the racist Australian audience literally boos them off the stage. The sleazy show business entrepreneur, who is hosting the event, realizes their talent, and, he arranges a job for them entertaining the troops in Vietnam. The girls’ tour through Vietnam is to become a life changing trip for them. The four actresses who play ‘The Sapphires’ perform lots of your favorite hits from the 1960s and 70s. They are really good. Deborah Mailman is probably the best known of these actresses. She portrays the group’s feisty leader, and she really is the only one with a sensible head on her shoulders. End of Watch Director David Ayer creates a gritty movie, which follows the day to day lives of two experienced policemen as they patrol some of the nastier areas of Los Angeles. However, by putting tiny TV cameras on his policemen, and also on the dashboard of their car, Ayer’s film becomes a documentary-like enhancement of reality. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena give excellent performances as the two cops; still, with all the violence they encounter, it completely puts you off wanting to be an LA policeman when you grow up. Happiness Never Comes Alone This is another romantic French comedy which doesn’t really have all that much to say. It is all in the playing. A musician falls in love with a woman who has three children from two different ex-husbands. They have to work out where their relationship is heading. The attraction of the movie is the screen chemistry between its two stars, Sophie Marceau and Gad Elmaleh. Liberal Arts While attending a function at his old university, a college administrator meets a young woman. She introduces him to contemporary novels and classical music, and, he becomes a better man for it. However, he worries about their 16 years age difference, and is reluctant to make a commitment.

Restaurant Review

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

Bali Pesto Comes Home! In the late 90’s a small warung-like restaurant opened on Jln. Monkey Forest in central Ubud. Both the local owner and the chef had been exposed to top western chefs, having just come from the fledgling Begawan Giri where they worked under first Rodney Holt and then David King. Back then this was something new for Bali, nowadays it is a common occurrence as internationally trained local chefs move into key positions and/or start their own restaurants. 13 years ago it was a breakthrough! The original Bali Pesto offered a mix of pure Balinese cuisines and Italian, both prepared in a western standard hygienic kitchen but served at not much more than warung prices. Back then this was a first, and so welcomed by all that Bali Pesto was packed every night. The years advance and a move to larger premises just down the road followed. Now in 2012 the original premises have been enlarged [in nice local Balinese style of bamboo and thatch, thus temporarily halting the spread of the concrete and glass jungle that is ruining Ubud], and Bali Pesto has come home! The menu at Bali Pesto still comprises two different cuisines; Balinese & Italian. For the local version you can start with Soup Nangka, a clear chicken soup with young jackfruit. Or Sate Lilit be Pasih, mixed minced seafood that has been wrapped around a stick of lemongrass combined with those Balinese spices, and grilled. Most Balinese mains are accompanied by Balinese style vegetables [Lawar], the most popular of which are the Gadang [grilled and grated young papaya with shredded chicken, tossed with Bali’s ‘thousand spices’] or the Nagka [boiled and grated young jackfruit with shredded chicken, coconut milk and spices]. Bali’s two favourite creations are available, without preordering, at Bali Pesto. Babi Guling [suckling pig] is served as a platter, consisting of a chunk of that suckling pig, so tender pieces of meat and that crunchy skin referred to as ‘crackling’ in the west, sate lilit babi [grilled minced pork and spices wrapped around a lemongrass stick], urutan [Balinese pork sausage] and lawar. Bebek Betutu [steamed duck], soft flesh infused with the many flavours of those Balinese spices, is served with a duck egg [cooked inside the duck] and rice. Both of these Balinese specials have been prepared at a special farm in Mas, where they have been doing it the same way for generations. Many standard Indonesian dishes have been adopted over the years as a part of the normal daily life of the Balinese. Soto Ayam [chicken soup with glass noodles] is one but Bali Pesto also offer the version from Madura with boiled egg, chilli sambal and lemon added. Fried rice and noodles, Rendang from Sumatra and the Indonesian Chinese Chicken Curry in coconut milk are just but a few of them. The Italian style menu is quite varied, and very interesting.

There are three soups to choose from including an excellent fusion version of that old standard. Pumpkin Soup, this one combined with ginger, lemongrass and coconut milk. Over the years many diners have returned to Bali Pesto just for this pumpkin soup, it is a perfect combination of flavours. A Vietnamese style entrée is the Fresh Cold Spring Rolls. They comprise shredded chicken and vegetables rolled in rice paper, and served with a lime and chilli sauce. Great on the palate, clean and fresh! They are a refreshing snack to have as an appetizer on a hot day.

The Beef Escallops Pesto Style is served with garlic roasted potatoes and rucolla. This is a dish that I have enjoyed on many occasions over the years . Large thin scallops of beef in a tangy sauce draped over many quartered potatoes and topped with rucolla leaves that have been tossed in a vinaigrette with a bit of a bite to it.

For pasta you can order a Fettuccine with a Balinese touch, pasta with prawns, chicken and spinach in a coconut milk, ginger and chilli sauce, or traditional Spaghetti Carbonara, Bolgnese or with pesto. There is a Vegetarian Lasagna, with mixed vegetables, oven roasted with tomato, olive and butter sauce, and the Eggplant Ravioli, sachets stuffed with roasted eggplant and served with basil pesto and Parmesan cheese. But it was a Pizza that I first ate at Bali Pesto, and that kept me coming back again, and again. They are exactly the way I prefer them; light and crispy, almost burnt, but laden with toppings. But they will make them thicker as well, if that is the way you like them. The Quatro Stagioni [Four Seasons] is a combination of ham, mushrooms, pieces of black olive, capers, tomato and mozzarella cheese. There are 13 different Pizzas to select from, including Pizza alla Romana [anchovies, capers, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, tomato paste and mozzarella cheese]. The top of the range is a Pizza Gamberi, tomato, onions, prawns, sundried tomatoes, chilli, green peppers and mozzarella cheese. You can even concoct your own, as long as they have the ingredients. For dessert that Balinese favourite, Bubur Injin, black sticky rice with coconut milk and ice cream. There is also a very western Apple Pie and the usual ice creams and pastries. Wine is sold by the glass, and the list is very moderate in its pricing! The service is always friendly but surprisingly professional for such a budget priced establishment. Bali Pesto is excellent value for money, it was a great discovery, and the new version is even better!

Update Lamak opened in Ubud 12 years ago. It set the bar very high for stand-alone restaurants

that had to exist without the protective blanket of a surrounding 5 star hotel, not an easy task! Lamak presented the level of fine dining that often emanated from high quality French and Italian kitchens around the world, but here in Ubud, Bali. It was a first! It was also very brave and daring of the owners to have attempted such a task. The credit for Lamakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success began with their well traveled General Manager Roland Lickert who had previously been executive chef at many international 5 star hotels. The team he assembled produced a high quality cuisine, and service level, with that necessary attention to detail that marks all great restaurants. Lamak serves an international cuisine but with an Asian touch. Some of the best examples of Lamak cuisine are their ever popular Lamb Rack [pictured], a dish that is on many Bali menus but rarely like this; the cutlet from the rack is brushed with hunan sauce as it is grilled and served with sautĂŠed bok choy and an apricot salsa Their BBQ King Prawns are brushed with a honey vinaigrette, then there is the Lamb Cannelloni and an unusual version of that old classic Chicken Kiev; this one wrapped in wonton sheets. They are just some of the most popular dishes at Lamak. The coming New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve at Lamak also serves as a farewell party for their departing general manager, Roland Lickert, who has been the guiding hand throughout and ever present since pre-opening, mid 2000.

Minami Bar & Grill is a Japanese cafĂŠ, an offshoot of the famous Osaka cuisine quality restaurant in Ubud. It is located beachfront at the Segara Village complex on Sanur beach. This Minami serves cafĂŠ style food with a Japanese touch. Even the house special Hamburger has a sauce combining teriyaki and wasabi. There are many easy to eat Robatiyaki type snacks [most of which are grilled on a wooden skewer] including a Mini Burger, bite-sized meat patties drizzled with a sweet sauce and a touch of wasabi. Others include Shiitake Mushroom, Stuffed Squid with a sweet and spicy sauce, Salmon with balsamico and Chicken Satay also with a teriyaki-wasabi sauce. At Minami Ramen Noodles have been combined with double steamed pork and a pinch of miso, with a fried egg on top. Even the Chicken Teriyaki is served cafĂŠ style with the extended bones foil wrapped for easy eating.

Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Senggol is a garden restaurant at the southern end of Jln. Danau Tamblingan, Sanur.

It is set up as an Indonesian food court with 7 separate cooking stations among the trees [sate, noodle, ice desserts, etc] as well as the main kitchen. A similar experiment had been attempted a year ago with Tuk-Tuk at the same site. Very attractive and warung priced.

Gourmet Garage did not experience much luck on the Chinese lucky 12th of the 12th of the 12th, as the retail section burnt down that day. The Lotus wholesale business still operates as usual. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;end of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; came 9 days early for Gourmet Garage. Dancing Pig is mainly a hamburger bar. It is on Jln. Danau Tamblingan, almost hidden in

beside Ryoshi. The burgers come in many forms with beef, pork or chicken patties. Basic, with Bacon & Cheese, Chilli Hot and even Vegetarian with their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Super Spicy Tanjung Sariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a pattie of blended chick pea and sweet potato with sambal matah and beetroot [ do I detect an Australian influence?].

Sundara is the new beach front restaurant at Four Seasons, Jimbaran Bay. It replaces PJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s which back in the 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was considered to be one of Baliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest restaurants. A complete demolition has taken place and Sundara [sanskrit for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;beautifulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;] has risen from the ruins, an impresive ampitheatre facing white sand and ocean, with a swimming pool in between. It has opened pre-Christmas but will close again for the final touches during the 3rd week of January before its subsequent grand opening. Executive Chef for Sundara [and all F & B at Four Seasons, Jumbaran] is well respected Australian chef Greg Blunt. Another fine dining location for Bali. Warung Mina has opened yet another outlet, this one at the top end of Jln. Segara Ayu, Sanur. First came the original on Denpasarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outskirts, then Peliatan, Ubud and Renon. The same menu is used in all locations, mainly a series of Pakets. Most popular are those that feature that fresh water fish, Gurami. The fish used at Warung Minas come from clean hygienic farming projects not muddy contaminated riverways. The grilled fish paket comes with nasi putih, plecing kangkung, sambal matah, sambal lalap and buah segar. Other pakets feature chicken, prawns or tempe. On the a la carte list is a favourite; Gurami Santan Kemangi, the gurami is grilled then served with a sauce of coconut milk and basil. Eveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen is on Raya Pengosekan, it is another amongst a growing cluster of budget

restaurants at Ubudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern edge. It is a small, neat but warung size, sadly with that inevitable over sized menu [over 100 selections] that plagues so many locally operated restaurants, quality not quantity is what the customers want! Safest here is to stay with the chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own cuisine from Manado. For breakfast Tinutuan, is bubur with a difference, combined with mixed vegetables including pumpkin and special sambal roa. Mie Lao-Lao is a noodle soup with smoked fish. Nasi Kuning is Manado style, yellow rice [coconut milk and turmeric] served with tempe manis, fish abon, fried eggs, and sambal. Woku Blanga can be fish or chicken, whilst popular chicken dishes include Garo Rica [nice and spicy], Tuturuga [curried] or Rica Rodo [chicken combined with eggplant, corn and beans]. Traditional dessert from Manado is Es Kacang Merah, brown bean ice.

Massimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Sanur celebrate an old Italian custom, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Befana or Epifaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Saturday

evening, January 6 [the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Christmas day]. Custom has it that a very old and ugly lady dressed in black drops the final Christmas present into the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socks [your kids will love it]. Different Stations [hot, cold, grill and dessert] are set up all around the restaurant and grounds from where you can sample a vast array of that special Massimo cuisine. At 8.00 p.m. A very special Spaghetti Flambe is presented in a half wheel of Grana Padano cheese. All for a cost of Rp.155,000 p.p., [Rp.95,000 for children]. Bookings are essential.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Gabeng Style! Gabeng is one of those Balinese expressions that doesn’t have single meaning in English. The word can mean a variety of things, meaning ‘unreliable’, ‘unclear’, ‘unsure’, ‘disorganized’, ‘poor at communicating’ all together; and gabeng can apply to people, an organization (a disorganised committee) and even an inanimate object (an unclear schedule). Most commonly it is applied to people. An example could be: “Gabeng ye… sing taen jawab sms yang’e” (“It’s not clear what’s going on with him – he never answers my text messages”). Due to the nature of Balinese society where people are always late, missing appointments, excusing themselves, forgetting that they have three ceremonies to be at etc. gabeng is a word that is frequently heard. Gabeng suggests an ambiguity that makes people feel uncomfortable, yet either party rarely confronts each other about unless they are really mad – they will do this behind that gabeng person’s back, or more publically on Facebook! There are now a phenomenal lot of gabeng people in Bali, as most folk are constantly trying to be everywhere at the same time and obsessively distracted by their friends’ statuses on their ‘BBs’. Having horrendous traffic has only added to the gabeng population, so don’t be surprised if people promise to turn up and then never do – sometimes it is viewed as being ‘just too hard’. Don’t forget a monsoon rainfall as another excellent gabeng excuse! Communication is a not seen as a virtue as it is in many other cultures – I feel that it is sometimes assumed that we are ‘supposed to know’ that people have something more important going on than meeting you, especially if the excuse is a ceremony or banjar commitment. Let’s remember that traditional communication in Bali used to be simply one-way: the kulkul slit drum would be hit in different ways signify different meanings, and people were expected to turn up, no excuses. Now we have two-way communication, excuses (or avoiding excuses: gabeng) are the norm, even if it is last minute or ‘past’ minute! Rather than fight em, why not join em and make a video clip about it? – Uh uh uh…do the Gabeng Style!

More Gadgets Galore. These days I’m seeing more and more dogs in Bali as housepets. I can guess that their loving owners bring them here. But do we have the time or knowledge to monitor their health? We give you some cool state-of-the art software to help you; plus an incredible new Sony camera; and a great hint and a great question. Enjoy. FUJITSU COLLAR MONITOR FOR YOUR POOCH

Fujitsu intends to bring the use of cloud technology to a new level thanks to a spanking new collar-mounted device that was specially designed to monitor your dog’s activity level. Of course, this will not rely on something as monotonous as ensuring your pooch’s Twitter stream is updated from time to time, but offers far more important information including delivering helpful health monitoring, activity level, and the external temperature, and all such information is sent to a cloud-based health service that is tipped to roll out sometime later in the year. Fujitsu claims that the device being small and lightweight, consumes very little power, allowing your pooch to wear it just about round the clock. No idea on whether it is waterproof or not though, as some dogs just love swimming more than most. I guess our four legged friend can now go to the great big cloud up there even when they are still alive, no? http://www.fujitsu.com/global/ no price yet SONY NEX-F3 DIGITAL CAMERA DELIVERS A POWER PACKED PERFORMANCE

WOW! Once in a while, we get a digital camera that offers the best of both worlds – a relatively portable size, not to mention a performance level that is high enough to be considered as semi-professional. Well, it is worth noting that the recently announced Sony NEX-F3 digital camera is one of those machinations, where it is capable of shooting professional looking photos despite housing its innards in a compact, pocket-sized chassis. This enables budding shutterbugs to explore the creative world of high-quality, interchangeable lens photography without breaking their back in the process. The Sony NEX-F3 will come with a similar space-saving mirrorless design that can be found in other models within Sony’s E-mount family, in addition to featuring the more advanced, 16.1-effective megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, which is actually identical in size to the sensors that can be found in traditional DSLR shooters, now how about that? The large sensor is capable of drinking in more light whenever it wants to capture images, resulting in flawless,

Not only that, photographers with a simple working knowledge of the system can also create images with beautiful defocus effects in a jiffy, where the subject will remain focused sharply against a smoothly blurred background. Want to capture self portraits? That is not a problem, as the NEX-F3 camera will also be able to let you capture decent looking self-portraits for once, thanks to a 180° Tiltable LCD display, which is a first of its kind where Sony’s E-mount camera line is concerned. All you need to do is hold the camera at arm’s length, flipp the LCD screen vertically, make the necessary adjustments via the on-screen preview image, and you are enroute to properly framing your self portraits.

C/CI/I-14 Oct 12

The Sony NEX-F3 will play nice with the FDA-EV1S viewfinder accessory that is sold separately, and will also come with a high-quality, premium-feel grip for a more comfortable handling experience and can be juiced via either USB or a standard AC outlet. Prices start from around $600 onwards, while those who want the bundle with a new SEL18200LE telezoom lens can pick one up for approximately $850. www.sony.co.id Base price IDR 7,599,000 Q: Are smart phones vulnerable to the same kinds of security problems that plague PCs, and if so, what can users do to avoid them? A: Android phones are becoming fertile ground for viruses and other malware. So far, iPhones have not been particularly vulnerable, partly because the iPhone operating system is harder to crack than the Android system, which is built on open-source software. And until recently, Apple did a better job of monitoring new apps for its App Store than Google did for the Android Play Store. While PCs are infected mainly via e-mail attachments or nefarious websites, phones are at risk mostly from apps that carry malware surreptitiously. Installing such an app sets the malware loose, whereupon it may do nasty stuff like stealing passwords, harvesting contact information, even hijacking online accounts. Fortunately, Android users can download security apps from the Play Store that offer some protection from malware. Good free choices include Avast Free Mobile Security, and Zoner Anti-Virus Free. Common sense also can help. If you download apps or programs from third-party websites, you could be asking for trouble. Stick to the App Store.

HINT of the day: Oh, oh, your gadget was just dropped in the toilet. What can I do? Don’t panic! Just follow these tips: 1. Don’t turn it on or press any of the controls. 2. Dry it as best as you can. Use a towel. Shake it onto the towel. Blot it. Try to remove as much water as you can 3. If you can, take out the battery. 4. Get a sealable container or zip lock bag and fill it with un cooked rice. 5. Place your gadget into the rice and seal the container 6. Set the container in the sun. The warmed rice should take all the moisture out of your gadget. 7. Wait a day. Good luck!

UBUD WRITERS READERS FESTIVAL

I am Not a Slave—Aku Bukan Budak, by Astina Triutami (A true story of an Indonesian woman migrant worker) By Sarita Newson On the last day of the 2012 Ubud Writers Festival, I attended a session of readings by emerging Indonesian writers. They were selected to attend the festival on the merit of their short stories, novels or poetry. The venue at Pulau Kelapa gardens was cool and shady, with a stretch of grass below an ancient wooden building perched upon huge rough-hewn pillars large enough to have graced an ancient forest, once upon a time. Among the young guest writers sitting on the lawn, joking and chatting, it was obvious a bond of camaraderie had evolved. Although they all looked tired and excited from the demands of their festival programs, one by one they cheerfully put their energy into their readings, supported by friendly cat calls and whistles from their companions, bursts of cheering and clapping marking the completion of each narration.

Unfortunately, Astina’s experiences as a migrant worker were far from what she had imagined. From the very first moments of joining her fellow applicants at the training center in Indonesia she felt uncomfortable and degraded by the way she and the other young women were treated by the training staff, housed in disgusting conditions, and forced to learn how to behave subserviently. Finally in Hong Kong, she was contracted as a baby-sitter to take care of her employer’s small child. The ‘child’ turns out to be a dog, and the workload is interminable, as she was expected to clean several apartments as well as shop and prepare food for a restaurant owned by her employer. She was so exhausted by the long hours of work that she had an accident and ended up in hospital. As her days went by in the drudge of gloomy and tiring days she began to perceive how exploited she and her fellow workers were. Some of her friends even suffered physical and sexual abuse by their employers. Astina’s book is a testament to the bravery of all women migrant workers, who leave their families to brave homesickness and work in dreadful conditions in order to send money home to their families. The fruits of their labor form a major source of foreign income for the country, bringing more than 100 trillion Rupiah (more than 10 billion dollars) into Indonesia annually.

Eventually Astina leaves her job. Her contract seems less than worthless and the Indonesian Embassy was not interested in her dilemma. She changed employers three times, but at each place of work her chores conflicted with her rights and the e m p l o y e r ’s o b l i g a t i o n s . Rather than staying on and ‘moonlighting’ without a visa, as many of her friends did, she decided to return to Indonesia, her dignity intact, but with a burning anger in her heart at the mistreatment and the lack of support for migrant workers.

When Astina took her turn, and, charged with emotion, read an early section from her memoir of experiences as a member of Indonesia’s Tenaga Kerja Wanita—women’s migrant labor force—silence descended. The excerpt she had selected to read was about the illness and death of her father, and her feelings of desolation and helplessness in trying to care for him during his fatal illness, and then being left with his debts, with no chance to further her education. Sadly, this is the story of many young women in Indonesia, whose dreams are sacrificed to the needs of their families. Aku Bukan Budak, Astina’s 440-page novel took her six months to write, a remarkable achievement for a first book. In this memoir she tells of her struggle as a young girl trapped in poverty. In 2003 her father lost his job in the aircraft industry and the small income her mother made selling spices at the market became inadequate. Astina dropped out of high school in her first year. The quarreling and eventual separation of her parents drove her to run away to Bandung to find a job. She found one as salesgirl but barely made enough money to pay her rent, so she tried her hand at busking, singing on the street with a student friend. Even with this additional income she still struggled to pay for food and lodgings. Yet, she did her best to send money home for her younger brother and sister’s schooling whenever she could. In 2007 things became even more difficult, as her father had to be hospitalized, and operated upon to remove a tumor in his large intestine. By 2008, at the age of 19, she found herself a job in a travel agency, but then her father fell ill and had to be hospitalized again. Giving up her job, she nursed him through a second operation that left him as a permanent invalid. Thirty days after her father’s death she found herself deep in debt and jobless, the reality of the situation sank in. If she went to Hong Kong as a migrant worker, she thought, she would have a better income than that in Indonesia, and would be able to work to settle her father’s debt and pay for her future education.

There are around six million Indonesian migrant workers working abroad, which means around 30 million Indonesian citizens are dependant upon remittances of their hard-earned wages to their home villages. Loan sharks are still exploiting migrant workers with exorbitant interest rates prior to leaving, and this cycle of debt is often continued once they are working in their host country. It can take years for them to pay off their loans. The government has yet to introduce low interest loans for migrant workers.

C/U/G-7 March 12

The problems arise from a lack of enforcement of regulations by their own government that leaves them vulnerable to being abused and mistreated. It’s time for the Indonesian government to show its appreciation of the immense benefits the country enjoys due to the influx of foreign exchange, by providing adequate training and support programs, with enforcement of human rights both prior to and after these women find work abroad. They are, after all, sacrificing their youth and their families in order to alleviate poverty in their homes, which is actually the duty of good government. “I wrote Aku Bukan Budak for my fellow workers” says Astina, “but I still can’t distribute my books in Hong Kong, Singapore or the Philippines, where many young Indonesian women are suffering as I did.” These women are the readership to whom her book is aimed, in order to give them courage to speak out and refuse to accept their current exploitation and slavery. Astina is now studying law, in the hope that she will be able to make a difference. She dreams of an Indonesian civil society more considerate and humane in its treatment of its women who seek their living abroad due to the lack of job opportunities in their own country. Astina Triutami is one of 15 emerging Indonesian writers selected from 279 applicants by the UWRF Indonesian curatorial board. Their participation is co-sponsored by HiVOS. C/U/G-12 Dec. 12

UBUD CONGESTION RELIEF The department in charge of Bali highways and by-ways is taking a major step towards sorting some of the traffic mess in the middle of Ubud, with the construction of a new bridge between two major northrunning roads, Jl Sri Widari and Jl Suweta. But what’s their thinking? Will they make it a one-way loop, keeping the current “one-way traffic” on Jl Raya Ubud past the market? Or will they use the bridge as a traffic diversion to keep motor vehicle traffic completely off that stretch of road. There’s been muttering about making Jl Raya Ubud a pedestrian mall for a while. The good news is that the bridge is half finished, so the traffic congestion will decrease in 2013. The bad news is, by the time those giant cement mixer trucks have finished bringing all the cement in late at night, the next major road to the west – Jl Tetra Tawar – will require complete rebuilding. BETWEEN HOLIDAYS Bar Luna has it all sorted. Pick yourselves out of the post-feasting slump with a night of reggae with Ubud’s own, Griya Farina on Thursday December 27. Sip on one of their legendary cocktails and dream you are in Jamaica! Then the next night the bar features Papayafil, an “easy to digest” band with an exotic flavor including a smorgasbord of reggae, folk, blues, funk and soul. Monthly program: http://www.casalunabali. com/bar-luna. Something worth sampling, most nights. Top of Jl Gootama. MONKEY FOREST FENCE Congratulations to Bandar Padang Teal for erecting the fence between the motorbike path through Monkey Forest and the forest itself. In the past year there have been a few nasty attacks late at night – by humans not monkeys – with women forced off their scooters by someone who could easily hide before and run off afterwards into the forest. There was talk about lighting the path but it was thought that would disturb the monkeys too much. This is a sensible alternative and, hopefully, a solution. No doubt some will complain about “changes to the forest”, but then people probably didn’t like it when the cement walking trails were put in through the forest. Oh, and thanks for painting the fences green. VIVID EXHIBITION The first solo U b u d exhibition by Balinese abstract artist K a d e k Dwipayana is a collection of vivid paintings and mixed media works from his “Tritone Series,” all crafted in the colors red, black, and white. On view at Ary’s Warung for a month until January 20, the “All That Is Given, Thrown Back” collection addresses Dwipayana’s fascination with Balinese Hindu iconography, representing the manifestation of God as the Creator (red), Protector (white), and Destroyer (black). Ary’s Warung, Jalan Raya Ubud. Information: +62 819 1645 8824. SUNDAY FARMERS MARKET How pleasant! A lovely Sunday with fresh local produce, bulk nuts and dried fruit, homemade baked sweets (including vegan and gluten free options), a pleasant relaxed environment and “community love”. The market is held every Sunday at Warungu Indotopia, recently opened on Japan Sukme, so you can also relax with a Vietnamese coffee or try one of the café’s delicious Indonesian or Vietnamese lunch specials after your market shopping. Bring your shopping bags and appetite!

FUNKY JAZZ ‘N BLUES AT HOME Or there’s “Funk, Soul and Party” music at Jazz Café – still swinging after 16 sensational years – with Nancy Ponto, Harry Toledo and Turbulence of Soul. Jazz Café in on Jl Sukme, about a kilometer up the road from Café Lezat … No idea who’s playing there, but it will be a fun night for sure. ONLY IN UBUD It wasn’t easy, but birthdays should measure progress, so this year I gave myself a promise to sing at a bar or café in Ubud each evening. My thanks to Café Lezat and Cooltones for Monday night, XL’s house band for Tuesday, then CP Lounge and Cooltones again on Wednesday, where we dedicated Tears in Heaven to their base-player’s baby son, who was in hospital with a fever; now recovered. Thursday was tough competition at Jazz Café’s “karaoke night” with Kerry Pendergrast and an inspiring Indonesian woman belting the tunes out like Aretha Franklin. Then double-whammy on Friday, first with my incredibly talented friend Ciccio at Maya Resort’s Bar Bedulu, where I was treated to an sunset dinner from a small but delicious menu and some happy hour Australian wines. Then - by request - we popped into Bar Luna for another number with those blues-talented Cooltones. I even snuck in a final Eric Clapton with Komang’s blues band at Moko’s Warung, on the way home from the birthday party. (Don’t tell Annie.) Did I mention I’m not really a singer? I just like to sing…. And people wonder why I live in Ubud!

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE DECEMBER 26 - JANUARY 09, 2013

Full Moon is in Cancer on the 28th and Mars is fresh in Aquarius and Mercury in Capricorn by the end of December. The exact sextile between Saturn and Pluto is on the 27th and it is still in that yod formation with Jupiter in Gemini. Saturn in Scorpio working harmoniously with Pluto in Capricorn (in a mutual reception) is bringing huge transformational surges of energy with regard to sexual issues and particularly concerning those in authority positions, mostly because these are the ones that hit the tabloids. Scandals are uncovered in personal lives as well and truths are being spoken. Some of these have remained under wraps for a very long time and it can be quite confronting to learn the truth about situations, particularly when you are the one who has been deceived or manipulated by another. As challenging as it can be to forgive those who’ve deceived us, we must do it nonetheless. Everything that is unlike love is being spun out at a rapid rate and this is the opportunity to heal exponentially as Saturn continues to work with Chiron in Pisces. Be kind and gentle to yourself during this healing journey and as much as possible stay in the current situation without feeling sorry for yourself in the history of your life. Life is joy and it is your task to live in the joyousness of the now. We’ve all made mistakes and it is time to bring closure to these and move on into a life of harmony. FULL MOON 7 Cancer 06 December 28, 2012 6:22 p.m.

ARIES This fortnight has you feeling much more eccentric and a little more willing to take risks. You’ve been possibly feeling a little constricted and more ordered than is usual for you. As you break free from the rules of the world and your self-imposed ones as well, a new sense of freedom overcomes you and you are willing to branch out into the newness that has been created in your environment. Many are in new relationships; others find themselves in new locations and jobs or projects. This is an exciting time for you and the new stirrings will have you impulsed to make the necessary changes.

LIBRA Perhaps it’s time for a second honey moon and if there is no significant other to then take yourself on a lovely romantic journey or adventure. A good dose of nature is exactly what’s required at this time. Immerse yourself in it and rejuvenate yourself. There’s always so much to do and many of you are in the midst of business dealings and this romantic getaway may then only constitute a week-end. Sometimes this is all that is required to restore yourself and bring your system into balance. Your attitude needs to stay fresh and uncluttered so that you can raise your thoughts to a higher vibration.

TAURUS You are having a bit of an adventurous time now, both in your life and relationships. Those who are currently single are probably having a great time playing the field. Movement is possibly a little more pronounced than usual and you will be affected by the current celestial bodies in a way that has you speaking more clearly about yourself and how the actions of others affect you directly. During this season you may be a little more cautious than indulgent. Let this be o.k. for you as your energies are directed in other places. This is a great time for a vacation or travel. You will get a lot of pleasure from it.

SCORPIO You are still activated in the heavens by the slower moving Saturn and North Node and it will stay that way for the next couple of years. With the current dance between Pluto and this Saturn in your sign, life is deep, powerful and very profound. Things are changing in a way that you could have never anticipated. It’s also so incredibly fast moving that you may want to take a little time to put things in order and get some much needed integration happening. Schedules are not something to be discounted. Putting down a plan, which is always open to change is a good thing to do.

GEMINI Mercury goes into Capricorn on New Year’s Eve and brings sobriety to your communications. Although you are not normally one to censor yourself too much, you may find during these next few weeks you will be inclined to do just that. This is a great time for business dealings and to set some goals and schedules for yourself. Again this is possibly not your forte and yet something to consider. Mercury will meet with Pluto during the fortnight and highlight all of the above for you and bringing a great deal of mental power to all that you undertake. The sextiles to Saturn also sustaining the momentum.

SAGITTARIUS Jupiter moves direct at the end of January and continues in your polar opposite sign of Gemini until mid 2013. You will feel more inclined to branch out again at this time and you will keep yourself busy until June gathering information. This will hold you in good stead for the changes that are to be made manifest in your life as you’re prodded from the soul depth to expand and grow. Challenges will come from the mental arena and your capacity to keep them at a higher level of observation. Become the observer of them as often as possible and be very aware of the words coming from your mouth.

CANCER As previously mentioned the Full Moon is in Cancer to begin the fortnight. This is a great time to reconnect with family members and those of your community. The depths of your emotions are currently on the surface and easy to access particularly as this full moon sits opposite Pluto and trines Saturn. There is almost a sense of responsibility to share what you feel and to support those going through their own personal transformations. With the moon highly charging that yod formation those with planets around 9 degrees are greatly accelerated on their transformational journeys.

CAPRICORN Ah that old task master Saturn as its known, is bringing some interesting lessons to you. This learning curve is prompting you to grow and to shed old layers of yourself in the form of beliefs and thoughts that you regularly think as well as society induced behaviours. Although you are not one to shirk your responsibility, even you may be craving a little solitude to integrate all of the recent changes. Quiet times are good for all and even if it’s brief, take the opportunity to regroup, centre, balance and align yourself. There is more to come in the field of transformation so rest when you can.

LEO As the seriousness of the Sun in that ever so practical sign of Capricorn rises to the surface, life takes on a slightly more sombre tone. If there are practical details for you to deal with this is the time to get them done. Setting plans for yourself and booking tickets are all a good idea. The cycles spin and this too shall pass and the more joy filled times will resurface. For now, harness the potential to clean up your life in all areas and be prepared to do the hard work that is required. Although you can’t see the benefits now, you will certainly be aware of them in the days to come.

AQUARIUS You can feel the accelerated pace as our outer planets are forging ahead in direct motion and creating interesting aspects to each other. Healing, shedding, transforming, restructuring and activating our lives. You are moving from one life scenario to the next and even though the flow doesn’t seem to be congruent this is not creating any stress for you, who is learning to become ever so adaptable and free moving. Spontaneity is still the main order of the day and being able to mould yourself to the ever changing external picture paramount to your sense of self and peace of mind.

VIRGO If you are trying to make sense of all that is happening and find you are simply ending up confused, it’s probably better to take a little breather, meditate a little and get a fresh perspective on things. Sometimes when you try too hard it’s impossible to see the wood for the trees or you simply miss the solution to seeming insurmountable problems. The journey now is from the mind to the heart and often these two are diametrically opposed when it comes to decision making. Drop down then and come into your feelings and feel your way through complex situations. Let your higher-self guide the way.

PISCES Neptune moves to a new degree at the beginning of this fortnight and although it’s been here before, it will bring a little freshness to things in your life. These times are calling for all of us to remain calm and centred within ourselves. This is particularly important for you as you are creating as you go. Modifying your life on the run, so to speak and this brings you into the inner realms constantly. Practice in the down moments when you get a chance to breathe deeply and regroup and then use it in all situations. This will take the pressure off your mental and nervous systems.

Earthbag Houses Are Dirt-cheap Pupuansawah is located in the north-western part of Tabanan, some 8 miles north of Bajera, with postcard vistas of cascading ricefields, expansive rural views unencumbered by villas, hotels or new developments and sleepy villages where ducks, geese and chickens scrabble around on rudimentary country roads. It’s an area that exudes the sought-after authentic Bali, far from the maddening crowds of Kuta, Denpasar, even Ubud. An ideal spot to build a retreat center and create an encapsulating enclave of rest, meditation and healing. The Osho Bali Retreat Center is situated on 2.5 hectares of sloping wooded land in a tiny hamlet called Lalang and contains several buildings and structures conducive to the business of serious meditation. One building in particular stands out due to its unusual building mode. It’s a 120 square meter single level building which houses a 12 person dormitory with bathroom facilities and laundry room. The structure is unique because it is an “earthbag” house, a new concept in Bali and the first building to be constructed using bagged earth instead of brick, batako or wood. It was the idea of Shiv Raj, the affable founder of the Osho Bali Retreat Center. He wanted to build an environmentally sound, ecologically responsible, and economically affordable building, using available dirt on the land instead of concrete and steel. Accordingly, he built an ‘’earthbag house’’. Why earth bags? Earthbags are literally bags filled with earth. Earth happens to be the most readily available and sustainable material today, and the typical Balinese soil called tanah merah has a high clay content that makes it ideal for earthbag filling as it compacts into a very hard material. The bags can be recycled sacks made from jute, hemp, flax, linen, even plastic. Think flourbags, ricebags, petfood or feed bags. Ironically, polypropylene bags can be recycled for a truly green purpose since they won’t break down for a thousand years! Bags can be any shape or size that is comfortable and practical to handle. Most earthbag buildings are constructed with normal bags such as the recycled 25 kg flour bags used at Osho Bali. Some houses are built with very long tubular/cylindrical bags. Earthbags can be shaped in many ways. They can be molded and stacked to make rectangular structures, pods, domes and round houses and incorporate arches and vaults. The walls can be curved or straight, or both, domed with earthbags or topped with conventional roofs. The look can be contemporary or traditional, the style simple to complex and sophisticated. They allow for a great deal of creativity: you can make a hobbit house, a meditation kiva, a sauna dome, a Gaudi-style mansion, etc. Houses made with earthbags are structurally sound and safe, naturally flood- and fireproof, hurricane and earthquake resistant, unsusceptible to termites and mold. Because they are hermetically insulated, the interior stays cool in hot, tropical climates. Building with earthbags is different from using adobe. Adobe is also a mixture of dirt and clay, but traditionally it’s a more liquid mix that is formed into bricks and cured in the sun. For earthbag construction, the bag provides the form for the dirt and clay, eliminating the need to create bricks. The building process - The only materials needed are lots of tanah merah, new or recycled sacks, barbed wire (to prevent the stacked bags from moving), a tamper to compress the soil in the bags and lots of muscle power (one earthbag weighs approximately 45kg). A basic knowledge of building is helpful. A tamper is usually made of a wooden pole with a heavy metal or wooden plate attached. Earthbags are filled on-site from mounds of dirt. After a row of bags has been laid, the tamper presses the bags down into place. This keeps the earth from shifting and keeps each layer level. This compression is also what forces the dirt inside an earthbag to become a solid, self-supporting block. The foundation is dug in the usual way and bags filled with gravel are layered in the trench to provide adequate drainage. Rubble trench foundations, meaning a trench filled with bags of rocks, gravel or broken concrete, are commonly used with

earthbag homes. Walls are gradually built up by laying the bags in horizontal rows in a staggered pattern similar to bricklaying. Flour sacks, as used by Osho Bali, are virtually water proof so there is no leakage and the earth need not be sterilized or treated in any way. Just scoop it in the bags, tamp it solid and mold the bag to a rectangular shape to flatten them for easier stacking. It does take a few strong guys to lift the bags into place and a pulley system comes in quite handy. The stacked bags can be solidly held in place by running barbed wire between the rows of bags to anchor them and prevent slipping and sliding, even under the duress of an earthquake. A d d i t i o n a l anchoring can be added by putting rebar in the corners and any other stress points. Twine is also sometimes wrapped around the bags, tying one layer to the next, in order to hold the in-progress structure together and add strength. The walls are typically finished with plaster, stucco or adobe to provide a waterproof barrier, to shield the bags from the sun and for esthetics. Framing for roofing, doors and windows can be wood or other materials. At Osho Bali camphor and mahogany were used. The roof was covered with common Bali tiles. After the walls were up, a flooring surface from poured cement was made the usual way and tiled normally. Other than that, cement was not used in the construction. Electric wiring and piping for plumbing were added in the usual way with the advantage that they could be more flexibly snuggled between the stacked bags. After the shell was put up, the earth walls were plastered inside and out. Special effects can be created on the outside walls by mixing rice hulls into the plaster and letting the plaster dry to a crackly finish, thereby creating a grainy surface. Properly plastering the walls will keep out mold, insects and rodents. Commonly used plasters include mud, a combination of clay and sand, and lime. At Osho Bali the entire building process from start to finish, including roofing, electrical, plumbing and fine finishing, took about 5 months with 6-7 local workers working 6 days a week. An old idea with a modern twist - Structures and houses built with adobe, mud, and wetted earth have been built for thousands of years. Building houses with earthbags started in the 1970s and ‘80s. And the idea came from adapting the use of sandbags which have long been used for creating strong, protective barriers or for flood control. The same reasons that make them useful for these applications carry over to the building of houses. Since the walls are so substantial, they resist all kinds of severe weather and also stand up to natural calamities such as earthquakes and floods. They can be erected simply and quickly with readily available components, for very little money. Earthbag building became popular with aid agencies in poor and disaster-struck areas as a quick and inexpensive means to provide shelter for people who lost their homes in floods o r m a j o r earthquakes or simply as an affordable way to provide decent housing in poor areas. Affordable and Economical - The ease and simplicity of building with earthbags is evident. The entire structure can be built very inexpensively. Besides the availability of local earth, there is a lot of unskilled labor available that can be tapped for building the earthbag homes. This not only makes the process more affordable, but also more feasible in remote areas where many common building skills are lacking. Labor in Bali is still very affordable; the soil is readily available and free if it is dug onsite. Recycled sacks are cheap. For the

dormitory at Osho Bali 2,600 flour sacks were used costing about 700 Rupiah each; barbed wire was Rp. 3,000,000. The roof is covered with inexpensive Balinese tiles, the plaster inside is lime cement, and the outside is mud plaster. In all, Osho Bali spent 20 million Rupiah for all the building materials in the entire structure. After adding all the modern conveniences like plumbing and bathroom fixtures, electrical wiring, ceiling fans and air conditioning in the laundry room, the finished building cost less than Rp. 115,000, 000 in total, including labor. Environmentally sound - Earthbag building fills a unique niche in the quest for sustainable architecture. The bags can be filled with local, natural materials, thereby eliminating most of the manufacture and transportation of building materials. The fill material is generally local earth or other materials such as crushed volcanic stone, perlite, vermiculite, or rice hulls, even rubble. Because the filling generally is of mineral or inorganic composition, it is not subject to decomposition (even when damp), attractive to vermin, or flammable; in other words it is extremely durable. The fill material is generally completely non-toxic and will not leak noxious fumes into the building. Due to its earth friendly materials, the earthbag building is incredibly green. The bags and their fillings come from recyclable and re-usable materials. Due to the superb insulation of its 20-cm thick walls, the building remains cool and does not require air conditioning. A ceiling fan provides adequate air circulation. And best of all, it is a great way to be instantly connected with Mother Earth. So you want to build an earthbag house? When Shiv Raj decided to build an earthbag structure he turned to the internet for research. He found a plethora of websites with valuable information on the advantages and the know-how to build an earthbag house. For the do-it-yourselfers the internet is an invaluable source of information and step-by-step How-to videos on YouTube. Beginners can start with a doghouse, a henhouse, a garden shed, raised garden beds or planters, or any kind of enclosure that would enhance your compound. However, nothing beats advice from the pros. Osho Bali will be holding an earthbag building workshop at the Center in January, and take participants through the actual hands-on process by building a house for one of their staff. It’s the best hands-on training you can wish for with many tips and lessons from the experienced people who built the Osho Center dormitory and encountered and solved the all too unavoidable snafus one is confronted with while trying to build something solid in Bali.

Way Not to Go It was interesting to read recently in the Bali Daily, the local wraparound masthead of the Jakarta Post newspaper, that university students here are protesting over a national government plan to eliminate teaching of the Balinese language from the school curriculum. It was worrying, too, because such a plan threatens the unique culture of Bali and undermines the diversity that makes Indonesia the vibrant nation it is. The students are worried – understandably and quite naturally – that committing such an act of cultural vandalism would place the future of the language at risk. An alliance of students from the State Hindu Dharma Institute, Dwijendra and Udayana universities and IKIP PGRI teachers college made this point – in Balinese dress – at a demonstration in Denpasar earlier this month. The Bali Daily reported alliance leader I Nyoman Suka Ardiyasa as saying: “We fear that one day the Balinese language will be forgotten because students will no longer learn the subject in school, and also an increasing number of people no longer use the language nowadays.” The critical interface between common sense and painful farce in policy development is often difficult to detect. But it is always vital to detect it and preferable that this beneficence takes place before someone steps in the do-do, rather than afterwards. Removing Balinese language teaching from the curriculum is in line with the Education and Culture Ministry’s most recent policy on a new teaching curriculum, which proposes to amalgamate several different subjects into one. Unique local content subjects taught only in schools in specific regions will be integrated into “art and culture” classes. It would mean that learning the Balinese language – at present this is compulsory in elementary, junior and high schools – would be merged with art and culture, seriously limiting the opportunities for young Balinese to learn their traditional language. A 1992 Bali law on language, letters and literature clearly stipulates the need to teach, develop and preserve the Balinese language. The 2003 National Education System Law provides that the curriculums of basic and higher education should contain both art and culture and local content subjects. According to statistics the number of people who can speak Balinese drops by 1 percent each year on average. As the students say, removing the language’s study from the curriculum will only worsen this invidious decline. Bahasa Indonesia, the national language, is universally taught throughout the archipelago – from Sabang to Merauke, to borrow the title of President Sukarno’s 1950 speech on Independence Day that year and that of a very good 1995 travelogue by the British writer John Keay – and is naturally the lingua franca. But the bottom line is that no language should ever be lost, or put at risk of being so. There’s still time for the national authorities to change their mind. They should do so.

donesian writers to be sponsored participants in the 2013 event. In 2012, a total of 279 writers submitted their works to the selection committee. One interesting and sensible provision of the selection process is an independent curatorial board – its members are appointed for one year only to avoid favouritism and bring in new blood. Something else that might interest many is a competition to design a poster illustrating the 2013 theme. The winner, whose work will be seen on posters everywhere promoting the festival, and during the festival itself, will also receive more than Rp20 million in travel and prizes. Submissions close on Feb. 7 and details are available on the UWRF website.

Veteran Australian journalist and notable Friend of Hector, Bob Howarth – Bob and Hector’s helper go back a long way in the media world – celebrated 50 years in journalism recently. He was fortunate to be able to do so at Gibson Saraji’s fine Gorgonzola restaurant and bar on Jl Raya Uluwatu, Bukit Jimbaran. Saraji is a great host and his menu is on the upside of great. Howarth, who started as a cadet journalist on the Brisbane Courier-Mail on Dec. 8, 1962 and went on to run newspapers in Papua New Guinea and Hong Kong, has been in Bali for three months working with the Institute for Peace and Democracy at Udayana University’s Jimbaran campus. He’s had to go away for a spell – something about Christmas on his beloved Moreton Island in Queensland, it seems – but is due back in February to do some more work with institute executive director I Ketut Putra Erawan, who is a very engaging academic indeed. The Gorgonzola party, on Dec. 8, was made notable by the presence of several of Howarth’s Indonesian “granddaughters” – sweet (and formidably intelligent) young things he taught at Padjadjaran University in Bandung. It was a fun night. Also there for the celebrations was Brit author Tim Hannigan, whose new book Raffles and the British Invasion of Java has caused a few riparian ripples in the otherwise fairly placid waters of British imperial hagiography. He’d been in Bali to do book launches at Biku in Kerobokan (thanks for the excellent afternoon tea, Asri – and we’ll be back to try that new locally made apple cider) and at Janet DeNeefe’s Bar Luna Lit Club in Ubud. We know of no plans in this regard, but Hannigan would be a prize catch for this year’s Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. Over to you, Janet.

Wedding Belles We were honoured to receive an invitation to attend the nuptials arranged at a house just up the road for some connections of our redoubtable pembantu. We missed the tooth-filing – always such fun – but were compensated for this by the opportunity to view the activities of several beautifully and traditionally attired young Balinese women flitting about taking pictures on their iPads and sundry other items of cutting-edge technology.

Speaking of cultural matters, we had a nice little Christmas and New Year message from the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival which was cheering on two counts: it indicated that the festival is now effectively a 12-month operation – there should be no peace for the wicked, or for organisers of important annual events – and it gave news of what the 2013 festival is shaping up to be. The 2013 festival will be the tenth (regrettably referred to by the festival scribbler as the 10-Year Anniversary: perhaps the UWRF should run a workshop on tautology avoidance) and this is of course an important milestone. The theme of the 2013 festival (from Oct. 2-6 – put it in your diaries) is Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang: Through Darkness to Light. This honours Kartini – Raden Ayu Kartini (1879-1904) – who is one of Indonesia’s designated national heroes. Since 1964, she has her own national day each year, on April 21. Kartini’s concerns were not only in the area of the emancipation of women, but also other problems of her society. Kartini saw that the struggle for women to obtain their freedom, autonomy and legal equality was only a part of a wider movement.

Not for Prophet

She married the Regency Chief of Rembang (who already had three wives) against her wishes but to appease her ailing father; her new husband allowed her to establish a school for women in the Rembang Regency Office. Kartini’s only child, a boy, was born in September 1904 and she died of post-natal complications four days later, aged 25. Inspired by her example the Dutch Van Deventer family established the R.A. Kartini Foundation which later built “Kartini’s Schools” for women in Semarang, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Malang, Madiun, Cirebon and other places.

Facebook sometimes gives you a giggle, especially when friends post little primers on how they think life should be lived. We got one such recently, which advised that real men love cats. Our immediate thought was, well yes, unless they’re New Zealanders, probably. But we scratched that as thoroughly unworthy. Nonetheless, the advice is correct. Cats are wonderful animals and much smarter than humans. And anyway, these days it’s all about Meow! Meow! Meow!

The UWRF says the 2013 theme will “open the floor” – we thought it was rayap that did that but never mind – to many global issues concerning women, education, gender equity, children and the human condition. The sub theme addresses heroes in society: in the banal and ungrammatical language of these times, “people who have, or are, making a difference.” The festival’s Indonesian programme has already begun receiving works from Indonesian writers from Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi vying to become one of the 15 designated emerging In-

A Happy New Year to all and every good wish for 2013.

In our Christmas message in the Diary published on Dec. 12 we recalled that Jesus is important to Muslims. We wrote that he was the third most important of Islam’s prophets. This was an error: we should have written fifth. The point we were making is that while Muslims do not believe Jesus (Isa) was the son of God, he is revered as the 24th of Islam’s 25 prophets: Muhammad was the last. It is one of a number of interesting and powerful links between two of the great religions of The Book. There is no formal hierarchy of prophets in Islam, but as the Holy Qur’an records, there are five who are most important as “prophets with resolution.” Here’s the relevant verse (33.7): “And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee (Muhammad): from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant.”

PARADISE...

Group and Individual Scheme More Choices with Many Providers Based in Jakarta and Bali

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

READY, GET SET……HOLIDAYS!! The ABC of Holiday Health in Bali Duck for cover ‘coz here they come. ‘Tis the holiday season again and the relatives are coming! The strong Aussie dollar has put Bali back on the map this Christmas so you might want to pay attention to some health tips for visiting friends and family. ARAK - Arak methanol poisoning is still around and still taking lives despite the lack of headlines in the local tabloids. Make sure your relatives are aware of this fact. It can be tempting to hit the Arak Attack with the price of imported liquor still so incredibly high, but it’s just not worth it. ACCIDENTS - Accidental death is still the largest cause of demise in travelers worldwide. Wear your seatbelt, helmet, and protective clothing because you need to, not because the law (or lack of it) says you have to. There’s nothing like riding with “the wind in your hair” and that sinking sensation as your skull hits the bricks! Surfing accidents too, have taken a remarkable toll amongst travelers. I have seen more than my fair share of surfers, who, as a result of boards piercing their eyes, have lost their eyesight. Be a sissy....put a nose guard on your board....you will “see” the difference! Drowning’s are common in Bali. Even experienced swimmers regularly get into trouble here. The rips in the Lombok strait are some of the strongest on the world so be aware of the danger spots and watch children constantly.

particularly mosquitoes, can spread a myriad of diseases such as Malaria, Japanese Encephalitis, and Dengue fever. The best prevention is to avoid being bitten. • Wear long sleeved loose cotton clothes, and apply a personal insect repellant containing DEET 30-40%. If you are using a sunscreen, apply your insect repellant last. Remember to re-apply your repellant after bathing. • Avoid the use of dark clothing and perfumes/colognes as these all attract mosquitoes. • Spray your room with a good “knock down” spray, each evening at dusk, and before sleeping, and use an electric plug in mosquito repellant. C/He/I-12 Dec 12

MALARIA - Bali and most urban areas of Java are declared Malaria free; however precautions still need to be considered for travel to the East Islands or remote areas. You should check with your local travel health center on recommended Malaria prophylaxis in Indonesia. MEDICATIONS - Make sure that your relatives bring enough medication to cover their entire trip, especially the oldies. Some missed medications can have a drastic affect on seniors even if they miss just one day. Many countries have pharmacies that will pre-pack medications in daily organized and dosed packs. (Webster packs). Some medications (especially narcotic analgesics or injectable medications) may require a doctor’s letter just in case you are stopped at customs. While we have a much wider range of prescription medications in Bali these days, there are still many that we cannot get. TATTOOS – Tattoos are much cheaper to get in Bali than in many other countries and the Balinese are wonderful artists however the industry is poorly controlled here so you must take responsibility for checking the studios hygiene practice and sterility of the equipment. HIV and Hepatitis C are both very common on the Island and can be transmitted by tattoo equipment.

DATE RAPE & DRINK SPIKING – Date rape and drink spiking for sex or theft is very common in Kuta and other areas where tourists gather is very common. Even bar staff have been implicated. Both guys and girls are targets. Keep your drinks with you at all times and tell a friend if you start to feel strange.

SEX IN PARADISE - Unfortunately, a whole smorgasbord of STD’S have reached into even the most remote parts of Bali. The temptations of the tropics are many and readily available...........but please, leave the deadly souvenirs where they belong....on the other side of your condom!! Hepatitis C and HIV will stay with you for life, and they are both fatal. HIV rates among sex workers is now as high as 30% and they are not required to stop working if the are HIV positive.

FOOD & WATER – The golden rule still stands “BOIL IT, PEEL IT, COOK IT OR FORGET IT”. Avoid roadside food stalls, or drinks with ice that is not hygienically prepared. Should you find your relatives suffering from traveler’s diarrhea, or “gastro”, make sure that you take plenty of fluids, preferably sports drinks (e.g. Gatorade), as they contain essential body salts. Drugs such as Lomotil, Imodium and charcoal should be taken with caution, as they can clog up the gut, keeping harmful toxins inside the body. Simple diarrhea should pass in a few days with rest, and a careful diet. (No oil, spice or alcohol). Should your symptoms not pass within a few days, or if they are severe, with fever and cramping, contact your nearest medical facility. Dehydration due to a combination of heat and gastrointestinal problems is common amongst travelers. Once again make sure that there is adequate fluid intake, including some “sports drinks”, (Gatorade, Pocari Sweat). Babies and young children will dehydrate very quickly and should seek medical attention for gastro-intestinal problems sooner than adults (within 24 hrs). INSECT BITES – The wet season is here which means that mosquitoes are out in force this holiday season. Insects,

DRUGS - In one word DON’T !! • The use of narcotic and hallucinogenic drugs in Indonesia is illegal, and punishable by death. • Drugs for sale on the street are of questionable origin and content, and are often mixed with toxic substances such as strychnine, and soap powders. • Many street sellers are paid off by the police to “dob you in’. • You being present and aware of other people “using”, even if you are not, will also get you arrested. • Magic mushrooms are not illegal, and are very popular among the transient surfing population. While the drug itself will not kill you, they have been associated with an alarming amount of suicide, and homicide cases. • Your consulate can be of little assistance to you if you are arrested.

EAR INFECTIONS - Swimming and water always play a big part in the holiday activities. Needless to say ear canal infections are common, however they are easy to avoid. Always ensure that your ear canal is clean and dry after swimming or bathing. If you are prone to ear infections (swimmers ear), a few drops of vinegar & alcohol, or commercially prepared preparation (i.e. aqua ear) in the canal after swimming, will prevent these from occurring. Middle ear infections will need assessment by a medical practitioner, and the appropriate treatment prescribed.

Contact: +6221 7692595 bhfs@cbn.net.id

TRAVEL & HEALTH INSURANCE - Please, please, please, make sure that your travelers have complete travel & health insurance. Medical care in Indonesia is now VERY expensive, and travelers are not covered by resident countries health funds (e.g. Medicare, green cards etc). Medical assistance, and evacuation, can cost anywhere between USD $6,000 and $ 60,000. That fee can double for remote area helicopter retrievals.

SUN - The tropical sunshine can be deceiving in its strength. As with anywhere else in the world, the “Slip, Slap, Slop” rule for sun block lotions still applies. Don’t be fooled by cloudy days, as the ultraviolet rays of the sun are still present. Avoid going out in the midday sun, and be particularly careful with small children.

Do You Want To Feel More Sensual?

Shashi Tarot Card Reading Crystal Healing Reiki Therapy

www.tarotpredictionsguru.com JI Werkudara 520, Legian Kaja, Kuta Hp: 081 811 9634 email: onasis@indo.net.id C/He/I-11 Jan 12

If you have been feeling a lack of sensuality, affection, emotion, desire, sexuality, romance and even love there could be a simple explanation behind these rather worrying issues.

Sex and Oxytocin Oxytocin is a very important hormone for sexuality – it stimulates sex drive, sexual behavior and feelings of arousal and warmth. It boosts libido and increases pleasurable sensations associated with sex and orgasms. Women have faster and more intense orgasms when taking this hormone – in fact in intensifies the uterine and vaginal contractions that peak at orgasm and increases the feeling of pleasure and enjoyment. Multiple orgasms are also easier to have when taking this hormone and women can also remember their positive sexual experiences easier as well. In men oxytocin makes the penis much more sensitive to sexual contact and increases lubrication as well as helping to achieve ejaculation by causing repetitive and strong contractions of the seminal tubules and vesicles, and muscles around the prostate.

You have a naturally occurring hormone within your body that is the most potent hormone for stimulating all of these feelings as well as stimulating sociability, friendliness and helping to create warm and deeper bonding between partners and friends. It is released through very simple acts such as receiving a hug, laughter, touch, orgasm (women), chocolate, good food, and good music to name a few. It is often called the hormone of sensuality or the “Feel Good” hormone, for obvious reasons. Oxytocin – The Feel Good Hormone Oxytocin is produced in various parts of your body including your hypothalamus, pituitary, heart, testes, and ovaries. It makes us feel more social and warm-hearted and makes us want to be around other people and enjoy their company – it is certainly a “feel good” hormone in many ways. For adults and children who have experienced trauma at early ages, or who have experienced significant levels of stress, the brain’s natural secretion of oxytocin can be seriously reduced. Often a motor vehicle accident may well be enough to cause damage to your hypothalamus and pituitary glands leading to dysfunction in these highly important glands. This may result in disruption to your normal hormonal output, including a reduction in oxytocin secretion. Case Study Jane, a 45 year old woman who was in good overall health, had trouble feeling affection for her partner. Even though she loved him, she had trouble showing her feelings and was often cold and distant. Her friends also commented on how cold she had become and how little she seemed to smile or be happy of late. Her lack of emotions were obvious and were causing problems within her relationships. Sexually she also had problems, and was unable to achieve an orgasm. This case study demonstrates the typical scenario that is present when Oxytocin is deficient. Oxytocin can also improve one’s mood leading to a happier and more joyous character and reducing the risks of depression and anxiety. It also has numerous physical effects on the body: for example it can help to lower blood pressure via its effect of dilating the diameter of your arteries. Are You Low In Oxytocin? The following is a list of complaints and physical signs that may indicate you have an oxytocin deficiency: • Lack of affection or emotions • Absent or rare smiling • Excessive anxiety, irritability and futile worry • Muscle and joint pains (fibromyalgia) • Poor sleep • Easier pain perception • Lower libido or sex drive and ability to become sexually aroused • Sex feels like a chore – not intense or exciting • Few or no ejaculations • Absence or rareness of orgasms • Lack of interest in others • Few social contacts or close friends • Easily disturbed or upset by others • Irritability when someone interrupts you • Introverted • Unfriendly • Paranoid or suspicious behavior • Unemotional, cold, detached

Sperm volume is also increased by oxytocin during ejaculation, and it may also help to reduce enlargement of the prostate gland, which is a common problem among older men. Case Study James, a 58 year old man, had always enjoyed an active and enjoyable sex life until several years ago when something changed. No matter how hard he tried and no matter for how long he tried he could not ejaculate or have an orgasm during sexual intercourse. He used testosterone and also growth hormone with no effect on this problem, which caused him a great deal of frustration and concern. After it was determined that an Oxytocin deficiency was the cause of his problem, and he began taking this hormone, he could then ejaculate and achieve powerful orgasms almost every time he had sex.

C/He/I-05 Sept. 12

Long term oxytocin deficiency may also lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, depression, autism, infertility and fibromyalgia. Oxytocin therapy can work quickly: increased sociability occurs within 12 hours of taking oxytocin the first time. Increased sexual potency, pleasure and intense and more frequent orgasms can occur within days of commencing this therapy. This is indeed the hormone of sensuality and feeling good and enjoying a healthy and satisfying sex life.

Vitality Plus C/He/I-12 Dec 12

by May C/He/G-31 Oct. 12

Defend Yourself Against Accelerated Ageing On his 100th Birthday, Eubie Blake said “If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” Wellness for Life: When you think about the word Wellness, what images do you conjure up in your mind? Wellness is not defined solely by the absence of disease; to me it is all about achieving mental, emotional and physical wellbeing as a whole. This is done by promoting positive life choices that can support good health and balance. Life is all about choices. We always have a choice with every situation, for example, I woke up this morning I had a choice to roll over and continue sleeping or I could get out of bed to do some yoga to flex my body and mind. We also need to be aware that every choice we make has consequences. It may not be immediately, but if you continue to make choices that are not in your best interest over a long period of time it will affect you in some way at some time. Wellness encourages optimal health and promotes a healthy and happy mind, body and spirit. With a simple and easy to maintain Wellness program you can stay active in both body and mind for as long as possible, reduce your risk of chronic disease and my favourite of all, and increase your vitality. 7 Easy Tips for “Eating Your Way to Wellness”: Fad diets are so out! They are usually not balanced and leave you feeling like a failure due to the unrealistic rules and no maintenance follow on, you are left to go back to your old habits and end up putting more weight on! Sustainable, healthy eating is truly the best way to achieve your goal of vitality and Wellness for the long term. It is so easy to eat well and be healthy following these key steps of the Wellness eating plan; 1. Include protein rich food in each meal and snack, including fish, poultry, lean meats, eggs, dairy, tofu and tempeh. Protein is great if you want to enhance your metabolism, curb those sugar cravings, and feel full for longer. 2. Enjoy a minimum of three cups of fresh vegetables per day. Vegetables are packed full of vitamins and minerals, full of flavour and a great source of fibre. Aim to have a variety of colours on your plate to ensure a good antioxidant intake. Seasonal choices are your best bet for freshness. Variety is the key. 3. Enjoy up to two pieces of fresh fruit per day. 4. Starchy carbohydrates should be kept to minimum, with one to two serves each day. This would include cereals, pasta, bread and rice. Where possible choose low glycaemic index options such as whole grain varieties. Processed foods are often full of added sugar, fats and salt, which the body finds difficult to process. Again fresh is best. 5. Include nuts, seeds and healthy oils daily. Cook with up to two tablespoons of healthy oils such as olive oil, macadamia oil or coconut oil. Make sure they are cold pressed and of a high quality. A ¼ cup of nuts and seeds a day are a great snack when you get the munchies. It will sustain your blood sugar levels so you don’t feel like eating a sugary treat that actually drains your body of vitality and energy, making you feel more tired than before. A vicious cycle that is essential to break for sustainable Wellness and vitality. Make sure your nuts and seeds are fresh. Choose the unsalted, natural form for optimum health. Keep them in the fridge in an air tight container for freshness.

6. It is absolutely essential that you are well hydrated. Enjoy at least eight glasses of pure water per day. Use natural flavourings such as fresh lemon, lime, mint or watermelon instead of opting for a sugar laden soft drink. A great idea is to slice the citrus fruit up into wedges and freeze. Use instead of ice. Also place mint into your ice cube trays with water and freeze. Often we reach for food when in fact we need to reach for a glass of water to hydrate ourselves. So next time you think you’re hungry just check with yourself when was your last glass of water? Have water first and wait 10 minutes and see if you are still feeling hungry or has your body been satisfied with a much needed hydrating glass of water. Reduce caffeinated beverages to one to two per day as caffeine is a diuretic. Minimise alcohol intake, which is also very dehydrating. 7. It is unrealistic to maintain a ‘perfect’ diet and lifestyle 100% of the time. Aim for 80% healthy and 20% not as healthy ratio each week. It is okay to have chocolate, my advice is to choose a 70% + cocoa range which has less sugar and allows you to consume a small amount whilst satisfying your craving. If you have a meal that isn’t as healthy then ensure your next meal is. Simple as that. Just remember the 80/20 ratio; this will keep your life long Wellness program achievable, realistic and enjoyable. No one wants to miss out! Plan to Play, Be Active, Relax and Enjoy: Always start a slow transition to achieving Wellness, especially if this is not how you currently eat and live. It may require a bit of an overhaul initially. Remember this is not a fad diet; it is a lifelong Wellness Program to create a life full of vitality and Wellness. It requires continual review to maintain balance in all area of your life. It is so easy to become unbalanced in one area of your life and before you know it your vitality is depleted and you feel exhausted and run down. Review and balance is the key. Speak to your Health Practitioner for advice on setting Wellness Goals and monitoring your progress towards health and vitality. Eating well is only one facet of your Wellness plan. It is important to exercise regularly to support and enhance your physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven that exercising can elevate your mood. Aim for 30-60 minutes most days of the week. It is essential that you find an activity that you enjoy doing and able to continue long term. Create a variety of activities, try something new. Relaxation activities such as spending time in nature, walking on the beach, in the forest, playing with your pets can also help increase the feel good chemicals in your brain and assist you to relax and de stress. Fun, social activities, such as sharing a meal, having a laugh with friends and family are also an important aspect of a happy balanced life. And most importantly, fun and laughter are the best medicine. Enjoy! In Good Health

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Resource Book for Permaculture by IDEP The IDEP foundation, based in Sukawati village south of Ubud, has published a wide range of public education and self-help resources related to permaculture, which can be defined “permanent agriculture” or “deep ecology” because it covers not just growing food but many aspects of sustainable community development and lifestyles. Resource Book for Permaculture has become IDEP’s bible, used in every one of the foundation’s community outreach or training programs. This extremely valuable publication contains 13 chapters or “modules” which clearly present literally hundreds of ways to practice permaculture. The language is straightforward and easy to understand. Plentiful black & white illustrations ensure that the concepts are accessible to almost anyone: garden designs; models of houses; types of ventilation and insulation systems; methods of sanitation, waste management, food preparation and storage; compost, showers and toilets; how to prune; store and protect seeds; stop erosion; construct a swale, clay pot water filter or compost bin; make a seed ball. The chapter on appropriate technology is a particularly useful collection of illustrations on how to build a living fence, make drum ovens, sawdust stoves, charcoal bricks, solar cookers and driers, biogas systems, water pumps, oil presses and pedal powered grindstones. Best of all, since much of the book’s condensed knowledge originated from field work in East Timor, many materials such as bamboo for building; moringa seeds for cleaning water; papaya, salak plants, tobaco and gliricidia leaves for repelling insects; banana trunks and coconut husks for seedling containers, etc. are all readily available in Bali. All the nutritional foods recommended grow well in Bali’s rich volcanic soil. Not all the material is appropriate for Bali conditions and settings. Goat milk is cited as among the useful by products of raising goats, but fail to mention that any milking goats that are found on Bali originally come from Java and cost Rp6 million apiece. Only hobbyists produce goat milk on the island for their own private consumption. A whole 10 pages are devoted to the growing, managing, harvesting, curing, storing and using bamboo for buildings, fences, windbreaks, irrigation pipes, charcoal, musical instruments, containers and food. A series of pictures shows how to identify the type of soil on your land, i.e. whether it has too much sand or clay in it. There’s a food calendar chart, a seed harvesting chart, a chart to determine the pH level of soil, and other illustrations showing effective techniques for planting fruit trees. The book contains hundreds of smart ideas. Did you know that a curved wall supports itself while a straight wall needs support? You can increase productivity by changing the shape of your fish pond? *A room that faces the afternoon sun will be the hottest room during the night, a configuration that is appropriate for higher colder areas but not appropriate for hot coastal areas. Conversely, a verandah on the west side of the house will keep the house cooler during the night. Building a house on poles will improve ventilation and reduce the risk of flooding. *To save money and time, build with stone only on the west side of the house where the sun sets which will help keep the house cool in the afternoon and warm during the night.

Planting trees on the west side of the house will keep the house cooler during the night. *In areas with strong winds, a four-sided roof is stronger than a two sided one because the wind blows over the top instead of underneath which can sometimes even blow the roof off.

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.

*Dig a shallow trench around the house in places where the rain falls, then fill with gravel. Use the soil from digging the trench to make the ground higher on the side closer to the house to help keep the house dry during the wet season. Design the trench system so that water flows away from the house to vegetable gardens. *The more insects there are in your garden, the more pollination will happen. Flowers, plant diversity and ponds attract insects to your garden. *Dig holes for planting trees, but leave them empty. Rain water will collect in these holes and soften the soil so when trees are planted, they will grow better. Some advice is surprising such using water bottles as water pipes, tasting the soil to determine if it’s too acid (tastes sour like vinegar) or too alkaline (tastes sweet); placing a plastic bag of manure at the bottom of a hole when planting a tree, using mulch made from shredded paper or cardboard boxes and introducing manure in cement footings to prevent damage from insects. Other suggestions fly in the face of age-old practices. An example is the authors’ disapproval of burning after harvesting – a widespread practice on Bali – because it increases erosion, destroys all organic matter and soil biota, kills plants which could be used for mulch, reduces plant and animal diversity, pollutes the environment, spreads fires that damage reforestation efforts and reduces bird and insect life which function as natural pest predators.

So committed is IDEP to the spread of permaculture on Bali that the foundation invites organizations and individuals to reproduce the book for non-commercial educational purposes. Designed to be easily and quickly photocopied, all the text and art are printed in one color (black) and the spiral binding allows the book to lie flat on Xerox machines and scanners. The utility of the book suffers because of the absence of an index. For example, you can’t look up “mosquitos” or “neem oil” in order to learn how to specifically combat the pest or use the oil. This is compensated for by an extensive 7-page Table of Contents with multiple subheadings. And the book is divided into 13 subject headings (“modules)” so it’s pretty easy to find your area of interest.

C/He/G-13 June 12

The abundant illustrations, accurate and time-tested practices outlined in Resource Book for Permaculture will provide many benefits for those that use it as well as serving as a powerful tool by which to educate people to adopt permaculture ethics, principles and environmental rehabilitation. This book has the potential of steering us confidently and knowledgeably towards a healthier and happier future. Resource Book for Permaculture: Solution for Sustainable Lifestyles, IDEP Foundation 2011, ISBN 978-979-24-13335, paperback, 330 pages, glossary, dimensions 21 cm X 30 cm.

Bali Advertiser Interview: Lisa Savage of Indohomes One can only look in awe at some of the amazing properties being developed in Bali. A collective uniqueness in style, modern Balinese craftsmanship fused with Western flair is putting Bali on the international design and architecture map. One company in Bali is helping the dreams of many to be realised, offering some of the finest properties – anywhere in the world. Plus, with precious timber stocks now a concern in Indonesia, it’s pleasing to know that this company is addressing that issue within its business model. Bali Advertiser had a chat with Lisa Savage of Indohomes to find out more about her business. B . A . L i s a , Indohomes not only offer properties for sale, but also c o m p l e t e development services. Can you tell us more? I.H. Our property management arm, Indovillas, has been trading since 1998 and Indohomes was established to complement that. We o ff e r a c o m p l e t e p r o p e r t y management service, for villas and resorts of all sizes – from one bedroom minimalist chic to sprawling modern-colonial estates. With the formation of Indohomes in 2006, we now offer a range of aluminium doors, windows and louvers as well as a superb bespoke steel truss roofing system. With quality timber becoming scarcer, we have elected to stock a full range of aluminium doors, windows and louvers which are indistinguishable from wood without actually touching them. They are imported from Europe and come in a range of colours with custom hues available on request. The long-lasting durable powder coat finish is ideal for Bali’s tropical climate. We still maintain our real-estate roots and continue to have many superb properties for sale to suit a range of budgets. We can assist with all parts of the selection and buying process and can guide you in the choice of legal representation to ensure your investment is secure. Indohomes are also involved with the development of several impressive properties on the island and have a vast experience of dealing with the everyday challenges and frustrations of building in Bali. B.A. How does Indohomes differ from other property businesses in Bali? I.H. We are a family business and it’s our attention to detail and quality of service which bring people back to us year after year. We enjoy considerable repeat and referral business for most of our villa rental and real estate customers, and the growth and length of time we have been in business – over 14 years – is the best testament to our excellence. We are also gaining a reputation for being a quality building materials supplier. B.A. Your aluminium window and door systems – can

you tell us what impact this has had on your business? I.H. As quality hardwoods become scarcer and with the world looking towards more ecologically acceptable solutions, we sought a durable and attractive alternative. By listening to our customer’s needs, we identified a niche in the market and over the last 3 years have been excited to see this side of our business really take off. Now there are many companies selling similar products in Bali, however, only a couple come close to matching the quality of our imported range. Private home owners and hoteliers are now turning to us for a longer lasting solution after making the mistake of purchasing from other suppliers with cheaper, inferior products. B.A. Is this more affordable than timber window and door systems? I.H. Although the initial outlay may be slightly more than for wood, the results are much more ‘precise’. And with design trends leaning towards a more contemporary look, they are what people are looking for. B.A. Is Bali still affordable for those with smaller budgets looking to invest in property? I.H. I’d say that property prices in the populous south are getting close to their maximum in the current climate. Of course there are still plenty of bargains to be had, especially when buying older properties and let’s not forget, the cheapest and only legal way for foreigners to own a property in Bali is to lease. B.A. Often in Bali, ineffective due diligence has left many out of pocket – owning a piece of paper but not the land. How does Indohomes reassure buyers that what they are paying for is theirs? I.H. We are very much aware of the sometimes less-thanclean reputation which may accompany real estate transactions in Indonesia. Whilst it is true that some fly by night companies are still in operation, Indohomes has been operating since 1998 (as Indovillas) and we have earned our trusted reputation by always being 100% above board in all our dealings and only working with industry professionals who also have the client’s best interests at heart and in-turn, have built up their own reputations for quality and service. B.A. What do you put Bali’s rapid development growth down to? I.H. Bali’s location and climate, as well as her natural and artificial beauties have attracted people to the island for centuries. Unfortunately, this past decade has seen a rise in the number of people who come to Bali just to make money and not because they love the island. A massive influx of foreign and domestic financing, coupled with loose application

of building regulations, has allowed an unprecedented growth in the number of properties – especially unsightly high-rise cement towers which do little to enhance the beauty of the island or the quality of life of the original inhabitants. Intelligent, harmonious development will enhance the island for everyone. B.A. It’s said that Bali is becoming the Riviera of Asia. Is that a true statement? I.H. I’d say Ibiza was more of a template for the current direction of development in Bali, rather than The Riviera. In the south, you are lucky to be more than a few hundred metres from a noisy party and the night-life scene is bigger than it ever was. To become more like the Riviera, Bali needs to modify its target clientele towards a more affluent and slightly older crowd. Personally, I don’t see the Ibiza tag as being a problem. Hundreds-of-thousands of people come to Bali to party and that is surely a good thing? They spend money in all the right places and are generally a good crowd. They partake in many of the varied activities Bali has to offer and they come back year after year. Quite frankly, Australia and Thailand have far better beaches and much more for the average family to do. We forget that Bali is still in her tourism ‘infancy’ having been a destination for ‘regular tourists’ for less than 20 years. In the coming decade, many more ‘family oriented’ attractions will appear and perhaps this will lead to an overall gentrification of Bali. B.A. And finally, Lisa, developers have come under the spotlight in some sections of society in Bali for the wrong reasons. Is there due care being taken – overall – with regard to Bali’s fragile environment? I.H. Indohomes are very aware that focus on environmental issues is not only good for the planet, it is also good for business. We follow the current trends towards sustainability and responsibility and strive to ensure that we are as sound as possible and I personally go out of my way to make sure that Indohomes adheres to these philosophies. It is sad to see that even some of the biggest players still seem to prefer making money to doing what is right. However, one expatriateled trend has been the creation of a multitude of small and large environmentally and socially conscious programs which have directly benefitted and supported the local population. This has helped to make Bali a must-visit destination for those seeking to observe a practical expression of socially responsible and sustainable future development.

Rock For The Wild! Psychedelic grunge band goes to Hollywood By Jennifer Juno

Navicula are a psychedelic grunge band from Bali. This y e a r t h e i r ‘Metropolutan’ video was entered into RØDE ROCKS music competition, which consisted of 500 entries from 43 countries. On 31 July 2012, Navicula gained 5834 ‘winning votes’ for their powerful song, inspired by negative aspects of urbanization and pollution in cities such as Jakarta. In November Navicula flew to Hollywood, California and recorded three songs at the legendary Record Plant Studios. Since conquering the inaugural RØDE ROCKS competition with their raw, energetic, grunge sound, Navicula have been busier than ever. After returning from their first North American show at the Le Festival Envol et Macadam in Canada, they then went on to play a series of shows around the island of Borneo advocating for environmental and social change through music. Navicula’s recent campaign was designed to raise awareness about deforestation and the critically endangered orangutan, native to rainforests in Kalimantan (Borneo). 33-year-old ‘front man’ and guitarist Gede Robi Supriyanto was generous enough to sit down and talk about some important issues affecting Indonesians today. GREEN GRUNGE GENTLEMEN Navicula was formed in 1996 in Denpasar, Bali by two activist musicians. The current formation is: Robi (vocals, guitar), Dankie (guitar), Made (bass), and Gembull (drums). Formed in 1996, Navicula are named after a species of single celled golden algae that are shaped like a small ship (which is what Navicula means in Latin). This tiny plankton plays an essential role in the circle of life, an inspiration for the Green Warriors who have religiously featured environmental and social issues as a constant theme in their lyrics and music over the years. In Indonesia, Navicula are known as “the Green Grunge Gentlemen”. Living in Bali, the band often finds inspiration in nature, seeing rapid environmental changes happening in Bali and across the world, this motivates and creates topics for their songs. ORANGUTANS Navicula are known for their tight musicianship as well as their stage antics and charm. They are spreading awareness to youth across Indonesia. Though the band has always been active in the indie music scene, in 2004 they signed a contract with major record label Sony-BMG, releasing their fourth album ‘Alkemis’ on the labels Indonesian branch. However in 2007 they returned to their roots and released their fifth studio album ‘Beautiful Rebel’ independently. In December 2011, Navicula released the song Orangutan as a free download under a creative commons license. The track will be included on Navicula’s seventh album, which is still in progress. The album will also include tracks such as Harimau! Harimau! (A tale of the last Sumatran Tiger) about conservation of the Sumatran Tiger, of which only 400 exist in the wild due to loss of natural habitat. After the song Orangutan was

performed on stage and broadcasted on national television, many Navicula fans requested that the band travel to perform the song live in their cities, including requests from fans in Borneo. ROAD TO BORNEO In July 2012 Navicula launched the start of their Borneo Tour as part of their orangutan conservation campaign by holding an acoustic concert in Medan, North Sumatra. The event titled Road to Borneo Tour aimed to raise awareness about the issues surrounding deforestation, a threat to the endangered species in Sumatra, especially in the area of Tripa Peatland in Aceh. “During preparations for our upcoming Borneo Tour, we heard about many pressing issues affecting Sumatra, such as the conversion of the Tripa Peatland Forest, which is an orangutan habitat. With the support of organizations that are concerned about these environmental issues, we were able to arrive in Sumatra, and chose Medan as the city for the main event,” recalled Robi Supriyanto.

During the tour in Kalimantan, Navicula rode with Greenpeace activists on motorbikes across 2000 kilometers of jungle to bear witness and document the destruction of the rainforest. In each city or village they performed a show to support Greenpeace in their campaign about deforestation. The bands fan-base avidly followed their journey online, actively sharing opinions about deforestation and the people who depend on the forest for farming and medicine. The goal was to move public opinion to view deforestation as a ‘critical urgent issue’ in Indonesia backed up with films and their award winning music. RECORD PLANT STUDIOS Record Plant Recording Studios were started and run by Gary Kellgren and Chris Stone in the sixties. Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, Nine Inch Nails, and Pearl Jam have all recorded there. Following the recording sessions in Los Angeles, Navicula started their USA Tour across California. After performing in Berkeley, Davis, and San Francisco, Navicula was invited by Californian event company Numbskull Productions to perform in Ventura, California and to open for legendary punk band Bad Brains. Navicula use RØDE condenser microphones for recording drums, acoustic guitar, and vocals, capturing the live ‘raw and cool’ feeling in the studio which was certainly noticed by Ex Guns N’ Roses drummer, Matt Sorum during the RØDE ROCKS judging process of their song entry ‘Metropolutan’. “Killer, great riff! I dig the realness of the video. Raw n’ cool, keep it up!” According to Robi, the first song he ever learned on guitar was ‘November Rain’ by Guns N’ Roses when he was just 13 years old. Robi never could have imagined that years later Matt Sorum would listen to a song that he wrote. How did it feel to meet Alain Johannes? Navicula has recorded full-length studio albums before, but never worked with a creative producer such as Alain Johannes. For our new material we were using Queens of the Stone Age albums as a reference for the sound of the recordings. Alain was involved in the making of their albums, so it was a perfect fit. Has Navicula entered any other competitions? We submitted the music video Orangutan in the Planetrox Competition. The 10 semi-finalists then contended in an ‘online voting stage’, from which 5 finalists competed in a live competition held in Bandung on 7 July 2012. The jury chose our band as the winners to represent Indonesia in Canada.

Did you experience a culture shock in Canada? Canada was our first international tour, but it wasn’t as much of a culture shock as you would imagine. We put a lot of thought into our set list, especially considering language barriers, but in the end decided to still perform both our English songs as well as the songs in Indonesian. And it was great, the audience could still relate to our music even if they couldn’t understand the lyrics. Where are your Indonesian fans living? Much of our fanbase is unaware of the global environmental crisis we are facing. Through music and media we can raise awareness about these issues. The remaining rainforest in Indonesia are on the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, but most Indonesians are based in urban cities on the island of Java. Tell me about your 25 thousand Facebook fans When Navicula was formed in 1996 it was difficult to get any national exposure, especially on television. But now with social media we can reach out to our fan-base directly, with or without the support of the music industry in Jakarta. Through social media everything is faster and cheaper. We let our online audience listen to our music. And we interact with our online audience. We try to make sure that the majority of our posts on Facebook and Twitter are unexpected including ‘funny moments’ while on tour, sharing music from another bands we like, or updates on some of the environmental issues. How was the Borneo tour funded? The Borneo Tour was paid for through crowdfunding projects on Kickstarter.com and Patungan.net. On Kickstarter.com we launched a project with a funding goal of US$3,000, while on Patungan.net the funding goal was Rp.5 million. Both projects exceeded their funding goals. We offered a digital download of our songs, t-shirts, CDs, traditional handicrafts, and private gigs. We are really happy our Borneo Tour crowdfunding project has succeeded in gaining the interest of people who support our mission to use music as a medium for environmental campaigns. This is a positive example of how independent bands can go on a tour without relying on funding from sponsors or promoters.

Tell me about Akarumput.com My social forum was started 18 months ago to amplify issues we sing about and care about so passionately. The bi-lingual content includes written articles as well as music, video and photo content. Akar Rumput (grassroots: in Indonesian) represents an alternative angle on environmental and social issues, bridging the gap between local youth movements in Indonesia and globetrotters. What album are you currently working on? We are currently working on our seventh full-length studio album titled “Island of the Dogs”. The title is a critical adaptation of Bali’s iconic slogan “Island of the Gods”; many of the songs on this new album look at the negative environmental and social change in Bali due to tourism and unchecked development. Tell me about the 2013 Sydney Festival We are excited about the Sydney tour. Being a part of the Sydney Festival is a great opportunity for us to break into the scene there. One of the main threats to the Indonesian rainforest is palm oil, which is used in many products all over the world, including Australia. So this campaign should be very relevant. Navicula are also set to rock the stage at Sydney University’s ‘Manning Bar’ in January 2013.

Local News VP Calls for More Funds for HIV/AIDS Programs Indonesia’s Vice President Boediono has urged firms in the country to support HIV/AIDS programs by investing in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. “HIV and AIDS are rampant in Indonesia, and we need to join forces to tackle this issue,” said Boediono, during a ceremony to mark the World AIDS Day 2012, at the Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park (TMII) on Tuesday (11/12). The country has so far relied on foreign aid for the implementation of HIV/AIDS programs. Close to five percent of Indonesia’s population has HIV/AIDS, and the country has a number of people who are at a risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. People who are at a risk include commercial sex workers, users of drugs and homosexuals. The first case of HIV/AIDS emerged in Indonesia in 1987, and since then, the number of HIV/AIDS cases has been on the rise. Until June 2012, there were 118,865 HIV/AIDS cases, comprising 86,762 HIV cases and 32,103 AIDS cases. For every woman with HIV/AIDS, there were 2.41 men with such diseases.

Boedino said these numbers are not the actual figures, since the actual figures are not known yet. The theme for this year’s World AIDS Day is “Protect Women and Children from HIV/AIDS”. “Women and children are the focus of this year’s HIV/AIDS campaigns. Importance should be given to women and children because they are more vulnerable than men,” said Linda Gumelar, Minister for Women Empowerment and Child Protection. “Many women are not aware that these diseases affect babies in their wombs,” she noted. Linda said the government and the public must work together to ensure that the women in the country have access to proper healthcare facilities. “Clinics and hospitals should create awareness of HIV/ HIDS, and they should look into the treatment too,” she said. “Children and women in the country have the right to know about sexual and reproductive health,” added Linda.

Bali Among 12 Provinces in Indonesia With the Most Number of AIDS Cases There are 12 provinces in Indonesia that have reported the highest number of AIDS cases, and the local governments of these provinces have to conduct HIV/AIDS programs, to create awareness of these diseases. “These provinces are Jakarta, Papua, West Papua, East Java, West Java, Bali, North Sumatra, Central Java, West Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, Riau and Yogyakarta,” Vice President Boediono said, during a ceremony to mark the World AIDS Day. He has urged the authorities in these provinces to allocate more funds to tackle the problem of HIV/AIDS in their respective provinces. “We should not rely on foreign assistance alone,” he said. He has also urged firms in the country to support HIV/AIDS programs by investing in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. “University students and young people are required to spearhead HIV/AIDS programs,” said the vice president. Systematic steps should be taken to address the problem of HIV/AIDS because the diseases can affect anyone. (December 10th 2012) President Concerned over Continuing Human Rights Violations President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono expressed concern here on Monday (10/12) over human rights violations that happened in horizontal or communal conflicts in the country. “Human rights violations by the state have dropped but they still happened during horizontal conflicts. People have exercised their rights in the wrong way,” he said at the commemoration of the International Anti-Corruption Day and Human Rights Day at the palace. “I hope the quality of the implementation of human rights in the country would be better and protection of human rights in our country should be stepped up,” he said. To improve understanding about human rights the head of state said people must be encouraged to actively contribute to the development of human rights by conducting continued education and familiarization efforts. Minister of justice and human rights Amir Syamsuddin said that although human rights violations still occurred that the current situation in the country was very good and people could sense it. “I think if we are honest the Indonesian people have never enjoyed their human rights as well as in the present,” he said. (December 11th 2012) Bali Police Confiscate 33 Rare Sea Turtles The Water Police Unit of Bali confiscated 33 rare sea turtles from a boat in the Tanjung Benoa Beach, Bali, since the boat did not have the proper legal documents. “We suspect the sea turtles were deliberately being brought into Bali. However, we have not identified their owners. Once we find the owners, we will be able to look into the origins of the sea turtles,” said Kombes Pol Hariadi, Head of Public Relations of the Bali Provincial Office, on Monday (10/12). The sea turtles, comprising hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) and green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), were seized by the police at the Tanjung Benoa Beach, at 12.30am on Monday. According to the Bali Police, the owner of the boat was waiting at the shore to receive the turtles. However, the police managed to confiscate the boat and the sea turtles, before they could reach the owner. The police believe that the turtles were transferred from another (larger) boat to this boat while at sea. During the ambush, the police did not find a single crewmember aboard the unnamed boat. The Bali Police will hand over the turtles to the Natural Resource Conservation Agency. (December 10th 2012)

Lotus Warehouse Burns Down

Peaceful Bali Attracts Dutch Tourists

A massive fire resulting in damages running into the billions of rupiah occurred at the Lotus warehouse, grocery store, and office on Wednesday (12/12) in Jimbaran. Firefighters battled the blaze for two hours before bringing the fire under control. Flammable liquids inside the building added to the intensity of the blaze and firefighters remained outside the building while trying to douse the flames. The fire that started just after midday quickly spread to the surrounding buildings, including offices and the adjoining supermarket, Gourmet Garage. It is unclear how the fire started and police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the event. No one was hurt in the blaze. The warehouse contained stocks of wine, professional kitchen equipment, food and beverages. As the company is a major supplier to the hotel and restaurant industry, the losses are estimated in the billions of rupiah. (December 12th 2012)

(December 16th 2012) Indonesia Identifies New Strain of Bird Flu Almost half of those who have died from avian flu have been in Indonesia. And, although it might seem as though bird flu has gone unnoticed, a new virulent strain has been found on the Indonesian island of Java. In recent weeks, more than 300,000 ducks have died on the densely populated island of Java. The government has since confirmed the deaths were caused by a new and highly pathogenic strain of H5N1, or bird flu. Dr. Rita M. Ridwan, the director of disease control at the Indonesian Health Ministry, says the government is working closely with relevant ministries to investigate further. “So we are in close contact by sharing information, sharing the virus lab and even working together in the field to do field investigations,” Ridwan explained. “I know there are very alarming deaths in the duck population, mostly in the center of duck production by the traditional farming as well as in central Java and East Java.” The investigation will focus on the affected areas, preventing its spread and determining if the new strain originated here in Indonesia. For now, the health ministry has urged all local governments to report substantial poultry deaths. Indonesia has one of the highest bird flu fatality rates worldwide - and most who contract the virus die. But Ridwan says it is still unclear why the rate in Indonesia is so high. “We are still trying to find the answer,” the doctor admitted. Ridwan says that low levels of

Police in Bali have seized hundreds of gas canisters from an illegal siphoning racket at a distribution center in Jimbaran, identical to an outlet where similar operations led to a massive explosion that left 17 people hospitalized back in February. Adj. Sr. Comr. Tri Kuncoro, an officer with the Bali Police’s special crimes unit, said on Friday (14/12) that the raid was carried out on Thursday and resulted in the arrest of one suspect, identified as 33 year old I.G.S. “We seized several hundred canisters of the three-kilogram and 50-kilogram varieties,” he said. He added that the distribution center workers were believed to have been siphoning liquefied petroleum gas from the smaller canisters, whose price is subsidized by the government, into the larger canisters, which are meant for industrial consumers at nonsubsidized prices. Tri said police found 560 of the three-kilo canisters, 30 of which were empty, with the gas believed to have been siphoned into the 50-kilo canisters. There were a total of 20 of the larger canisters. Police also seized eight pipes specially rigged with valves, which are typically used in the transferring the pressurized contents of one gas canister to another. The raid on the distribution center, which was found not to have a permit to store or sell LPG canisters, came after residents in the neighborhood complained about the constant smell of leaking gas emanating from the building. Tri said that I.G.S. admitted to running an illegal siphoning racket, but that he had only been at it for a month. He faces theft charges under the 2001 Oil and Gas Law that carry a maximum sentence of three years. The illegal operation was identical to one being run in Denpasar earlier this year before it was destroyed by a massive explosion. The explosion at the distribution outlet on Jalan Pulau Roti occurred on Feb. 17. A total of 17 people, most of them workers who were loading canisters into a pickup truck at the time, were injured, nine of them seriously. The accident was the latest in a series of explosions dating back to the introduction of the subsidized LPG canisters in 2010. Many of the explosions were believed to have been caused by faulty regulators and containers, as well as negligence. (December 15th 2012)

basic health and poor access to health services could be a contributing factor. Bird flu ravaged Indonesia in 2003, and is normally spread from birds to human via direct contact. According to the World Health Organization, of the 359 bird flu-related deaths worldwide, 159 have been in Indonesia. (December 12th 2012)

The Indonesian Government in Jakarta has been busy in the last few years doing their darndest to attract more yachts to this part of the world. Late last year Presidential Regulations were issued to tidy up the visiting yacht bond fiasco and extend the time yachties can stay in Indonesia. At present there are about 500 yachts per year that cruise through Indonesia and the aim is to attract more of the thousands of yachts currently cruising around the world. It is a big job and it is not easy. Indonesia is not one country but an amalgam of many different peoples and languages thrown together at Independence in the late 1940’s. There is an expression often used that Indonesian law, “stops at the village gate”. So any planning on a national level is complex and requires a great deal of innovation and expertise.

there are around 50,000 yachts cruising the Asia-Pacific region each year. If Indonesia can get 20% of those yachts to come and spend more time in Indonesia the potential economic benefits are significant for people who need a bit of a leg up. That is 10,000 extra yachts coming this way each year. If each of these 10,000 yachts carries a crew of 5 people and sails through Indonesian waters for a period of three months, spending 40 days on shore visits, they could inject US$200 million per year into remote regions according to some estimates. Many Skippers plan for years to retire and head off around the world on the adventure of a lifetime. They are born to explore and are not fazed by dropping anchor in some isolated bay a world away. Most have been doing this in their own countries for years and have been just waiting for the day to sail off and live the big dream. They don’t necessarily want a noisy five star enclave type marina full of drunken sailors every 100 nautical miles but any new ideas that reduce the hassle would help.

Sail in Indonesia – No Way

Yachting Routes through Indonesia A new idea has sprung up that will see Indonesian waters become even more attractive to cruise for overseas yachties. The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy is planning to design designated sea routes through the Archipelago. At the recent Indonesia Yachting Opportunities Seminar Director General for Tourism Destination Development, Firmansyah Rahim said that in the past most yachties that come to Indonesia are part of sailing events such as Sail Indonesia and the like. The organisers of these events, for pure logistical reasons, usually put a cap on how many yachts they take on. For example, Sail Indonesia tries to keep the numbers to around 120 yachts. They don’t seem to have any trouble attracting this number of yachties as many Skippers come back year after year. There is also the current practice of many Skippers to sail through Indonesia on their way to other sailing hot spots in Asia rather than make Indonesia a destination in its own right. Can you imagine whizzing through the Caribbean or the Mediterranean? If you can then you are missing the point of cruising.

Jan 25 - Fri

The development of designated sea routes with the backing of the government can work especially if critical information about the sailing routes is made available by the government. Getting information on sailing in Indonesia is an art form. Technical data such as accurate wind and ocean current data, fuel and water services, safe and welcoming anchorages etc would help. There is no doubt that increasing the number of visiting yachts is becoming a priority of the Indonesian Government and it makes sense to pick out a couple of the best routes through Indonesia and promote them. This is a good thing and maybe if the designated routes take off we will see a bit more marine servicing infrastructure develop along the way. This plan can be an effective strategy to get money into remote coastal areas that can boost economic development without having to spend billions on infrastructure development. There are big bucks involved. According to the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy

It is a slow process changing people’s attitudes about sailing in Indonesia. There is no doubt that a perception problem exists about Indonesia in some parts of the world cruising community. It never ceases to amaze the amount of trepidation that sailors have. Many intelligent people ask me about pirates in Indonesian waters. I say there are none and don’t you mean Somalia. It doesn’t help when stories arise about yachts being impounded by some Harbour Master in a remote place over some minor dispute. But these are few and far between and can happen in any country. Some Skippers being of the independent kind tend to bring a lot of trouble on themselves. But those that come often rave about the place. There a plenty of personal internet blogs and internet sites like Noonsite that document Skippers sailing experiences in Indonesia. Anyone can read them and on the whole there are pages and pages of happy commentary. Especially is the sincerity of stories of meeting local Indonesians. For some it has been a moving experience with the main theme being how happy the people seem to be yet so poor. We all know that money doesn’t make you happy but when you see it up close and in a different cultural context the point is driven home. The kids are a big hit with yachties, the countless hello misters and generally displays of happiness please all.

2013 Sailing Events Next year promises to be an exciting one. In May/June a fleet of yachts arrive in Bali sailing in the rejigged Fremantle to Bali race.

The Business Builder Series

Graeme Stevens

The BizWiz Simplify business chaos… create value and release hidden profit

Sell or Stay? Let’s start with a key question: what are you building your business for? What’s in it for you? This is a choice between two clear alternatives. You are either building it with an aim to eventually sell it at a great capital gain, or you are building it because you never want to do anything else. There is no in between. If you intend to ever sell your business, then you are planning to sell. You need to think on that choice deeply and be very clear in your mind about the implications of each option. You may be very content with a very small successful niche company that you don’t want to grow. You are probably doing really well already in what you want to achieve. There are many businesses like this, partners who have been running a restaurant or a small factory or a dry cleaning shop for 20-30 years. This is success to admire, there are not many businesses around in the tech industries that have been able to achieve 20 years, and where the owners are successful and happy. These people don’t need this article, and with respect it isn’t meant for them. But if you are building your business with the intention of one day selling it, then decisions you make now will decide how successful that sale will be. The sale price you get will depend on the criteria of the buyer, not on how you view your business. You need to know what those elements are and start building them into your business now. There are certain minimum requirements that a buyer must gain from buying your business before s/he considers the cream in your offering. These include: • Scalability • Focus • Competitive edge • Business model • Cash flow • Customer base • Legal structure • Business team • Financial backbone There’s more. There’s also risk management, contract documents, marketing, partner relationships including suppliers and government. And when you’re ready to sell, there’s sales process, putting together a deal team, finding a broker, and the sale itself. But that list above contains the critical elements in terms of preparing your business for sale at an optimum price. Let’s have a look at one of them in more detail. Scalability. Does your business have the ability to grow? A buyer will want to see the potential that his/her investment in your lusty little plant can multiply. There are three requirements for achieving scale: repeatable, teachable, and gaining market share by giving customer value. 1. Repeatable – “If you cannot measure, you cannot repeat. If you cannot repeat, you cannot scale.” You need repeatable sales processes, repeatable production processes than can quickly scale up to meet increasing demand, and repeatable marketing processes that support your goals. You need for these processes to be repeatable by ordinary people with average skill levels, because you can’t scale if everyone has to be fantastic at what they do; there just isn’t enough of those very clever and talented people to go around. How do you know which processes to repeat? You have to measure what you do and test options. Which options to test? The ones most important to your business are those that affect growth and scale. Easy choice, isn’t it?

How can you ensure a repeatable process? Write it down, document it, observe it and refine it. Don’t expect you or your staff to remember it from just a spoken requirement. Common to ensuring repeatable processes is an Operations Manual and don’t forget team meetings to review it and practice them. Robust systems are vital, but so are people actually following them. “It’s important to constantly strive to improve and maintain consistency in all aspects of your business,” says Gianpaolo Federici, an Australian entrepreneur. “Eventually you pull together a very tight business that rewards you big time.” Process is about the little things done right. One retailer used coloured stickers on price tags to indicate the sale discount percent. There were signs up in the shop to advise customers of the meaning of the colours but not at the cash register, so the sales staff were making mistakes trying to remember which colour meant which discount. Of course customers were cranky when the discount given on the sales receipt was less than what was advertised in the shop. The error was picked up through the shop’s measurement process, of checking actual discounts given against the standard for each item. Putting a list of colours and their discounts in writing alongside the cashier solved the problem. That is an improved process example, taking a customer enquiry and adding value for the customer. Note that the process also gives a tool to the staff, the ability to perform the lookup to see what is available. Now the staff person and the tool combined become a capability. Another key benefit from a consistent process is giving your customers a consistent experience. If your customer’s first visit has 3 benefits in service and the next visit only 2, then you have deprived your customer of an expected service and this is an emotionally poor experience. Same if you give one customer a discount and then the next one gets none. Hello! Customers talk to each other, either as friends or through social media. So don’t shoot yourself in the foot with inconsistent service or product quality. Believe it, it is these simple little processes done right that make such a difference to your business performance and profitability. The logic chain is along the lines of: Supply reliability leads to increased customer satisfaction, which leads to increased positive word of mouth, which leads to increased market share, which leads to increased profitability. So when you have a standard defined you can then measure actual performance - how well you are making that product to the standard - and keep refining and adjusting to build your supply reliability. Zero defects, zero deviation. So let’s repeat, you need to be able to measure performance to choose the best process and capability set, and you need to repeat the process over and over again. “If you cannot measure, you cannot repeat. If you cannot repeat, you cannot scale.”

Letters To Bali Advertiser Beach mess in Sanur Hello to you, we have been coming to Sanur since 1989, and over this time have noticed a big difference in a lot of things. I watch the women burying the mess on the beaches, plus on my walks I have picked up numerous hypodermic needles. They say beautiful Bali, but in my opinion, this is not the case. The plastic I pick up, on the pathway along the beach, over to the black sand beach, it is also terrible, and not only on the sand, on the pathway. The people I see thank me, for doing what they see me doing. I try to explain to the youngsters, they laugh, when I say about the plastic in the oceans killing the wildlife within, also livestock eat it in some countries, and die. There was an incident where a giraffe died from eating plastic. I need to contact the people in charge of cleaning facilities in Sanur, to explain about the women in green burying litter, this practice is unacceptable, and very dangerous, as the water erodes the beach it becomes revealed, and many times I have stubbed my toes on branches sticking out of the sand. Apparently a dog was found dead and this was also buried, I did not see this but was told by a tourist. They see me every morning along the beach in the area of Esaki picking up plastic, cups, bottles, flip-flops, spoons, toothpaste tubes along with other bits. We were here three years ago and near the Lawgaha in one of the concrete jettys the plastic gathered in the water was unbelievable. I am aware the world’s oceans are dumping grounds for this problem is worldwide, but if Bali can at least educate the children in the schools, it’s a start. If you are able to send this email to the people concerned, it would prove to be a great help. It is all about educating people, and start as we mean to go on. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and lets hope in the future, not too distant we will see a change in Sanur’s beaches and surrounding areas. Thanks again, yours faithfully, Mrs. Doreen Taylor

GREENSPEAK by Ibu Kat

ORDINARY PEOPLE

The Balinese compound at the corner of my lane is very traditional. It’s always busy with women making offerings, kids chasing chickens and men sipping glasses of coffee. Yesterday I paused as usual to greet the family and stopped in my tracks, transfixed. A four year old child was standing in front of a line of rattan rooster cages clad only in an old Tshirt. At his feet was an enamel dish of rice with a spoon in it. In his hand was an iPad in a bright pink cover. The brand new, slinky model. I don’t know why I was surprised. Indonesia is moving at warp speed these days. Strolling the back streets of Ubud, it’s no longer very unusual to see high school students in their compounds doing their homework on laptops. Indonesia has the fourth highest number of FaceBook accounts in the world with over 47 million members. When I was in East Kalimantan in May volunteering in high schools, after each class almost every student whipped out a smart phone to take my picture. So it wasn’t so much surprise that broke my stride. Perhaps it was jealously. My own iPad is a second-hand original model. I first visited Bali in 1969, travelled to Indonesia frequently since 1990 and moved here in 2000. Over that span of years and especially in the past four or five, there have been huge changes. The local economy is booming, a very different story than this time a decade ago when the terrorist bombings in Kuta in October 2002 blew Bali right off the map as a tourist destination. It took years to recover, but now Bali is blisteringly hot, THE place to contemplate your navel, write a book, retire, or send your kids to school. The economy is booming. Every Balinese compound in Ubud seems to have a new vehicle parked in front beside a pile of sand and concrete blocks for renovations and other building projects. Everyone who wants to work has a job. Sure, there are still lots of problems here. Corruption, waste management, environmental degradation, traffic issues, the awakening of greed, rice fields disappearing under layers of concrete… all of that. But a lot of fine things are happening, too. In spite of all the changes, many good people are still doing good things. At the end of 2012 I want to take this opportunity to celebrate a few of the many wonderful and inspirational Balinese I’ve been privileged to meet here... ordinary people with extraordinary gifts of care and connection. It’s easy to assume that young people today live only for technology and a good time. So I was honoured to meet a group of passionate young Balinese educated in Jogjakarta whose goal is to draw attention to the country-wide massacres of 1965, especially those that took place in Bali.

It’s impossible to obtain accurate figures about the number of people who lost their lives in 1965. Numbers range from 13,000 to 80,000 people in Bali, the latter figure representing 10% of the population at that time. On a national scale, the group has found statistics ranging from 500,000 to three million people killed.

and wood carving, silver smithing, metal working, weaving and beadwork. These arts will soon be lost, along with a millennia of tradition. Agung argues, “We need to create global awareness of Balinese traditional skills in today’s context while engaging young people and complying with Fair Trade principals.”

At the end of 2012 I want to take this opportunity to celebrate a few of the many wonderful and inspirational Balinese I’ve been privileged to meet here... ordinary people with extraordinary gifts of care and connection.

Closer to home I want to pay tribute to Wayan Manis, my housekeeper for 11 years. She grew up very poor in a village near Ubud, the eldest of three children with a chronically ill father who could not work. She began selling snacks, weaving baskets and carrying rocks from the age of seven to help feed the family and to keep herself in school. As a child she rarely had the luxury of eating rice; every grain from the family’s small field was sold for badly needed cash and they lived on sweet potatoes, wild greens and tofu.

“We want to learn the truth about the past. It is a national tragedy and our generation should fight the amnesia of history.” They are meeting resistance at every level, from the government right down to their own families. No one wants to open this deeply embarrassing can of worms, but these kids insist that it’s their right to pry off the lid and let the light in. I have huge admiration and respect for them. Another young Balinese I admire is Pande Putu, one of the artists whose installation piece NOT FOR SALE still sits proudly in a rice field in Jungjungan. Besides his passion to preserve Bali’s millennia-old sawah (rice fields), he also reaches out to young Balinese with small programs and projects to help them stay connected to their culture and traditions. The children fly kites, hunt dragonflies and eels, fish and enjoy other activities that are falling by the wayside, overshadowed by the fascination for hand phones and FaceBook. But Pande Putu harnesses the power of social media to reach them, too, and connects with over 3,000 mostly rural young Balinese on FaceBook to raise awareness about social issues. “The young people are starting to become aware of the land issue, “he told me, referring to the speed with which Bali’s ancient rice fields are disappearing under concrete. “They like working in tourism but many want to keep the land as well. This is a time of great conflict over land. Rice fields are the heart of Ubud. If we sell our hearts, we are just machines.” One of my favourite social activists is Agung Alit. Founder and director of Mitra Fair Trade, Agung is an Ashoka Fellow, an international award for leading Asian social entrepreneurs. In the past when many Balinese made their livings as craftsman and artisans, they were paid very little because the system favoured the middlemen. Agung Alit established Mitra Fair Trade Bali in 1993, providing producers with practical support for design, production, pricing and more direct marketing of their crafts.

Wa y a n M a n i s i s o n e o f t h e m o s t g e n e r o u s a n d compassionate people I’ve ever known. She’s always helping people who are not as well off as she is, and often asks me about free government and NGO services for her poorer neighbours. When I’m sick, she appears at my bedside outside her working hours with traditional herbal remedies. She orders me to take a nap when she thinks I look tired. She makes it so much easier for me to live here. I’m honoured that she chooses to be part of my life. I’ve helped the family build two modest rental properties, so Wayan Manis undertakes the spiritual housekeeping and general responsibilities for these, as well as the two family compounds and my house. As if this wasn’t enough, she’s recently taken in two elderly relatives from their own overcrowded compounds in her village. Almost two years ago her daughter Kadek almost died of a massive infection which was missed by a local hospital. We rushed the child to Kasih Ibu Hospital and within a week my many friends who’d stayed with me over the years and knew Wayan Manis had sent enough money to pay the staggering bills. Few of them had met Kadek, but they all had great affection and respect for Wayan Manis. It’s the basic decency, warm hearts and spiritual values of ordinary Balinese that drew me to live in Ubud and keeps me here. I feel very blessed. May you, too, be blessed. And may 2013 be all that you wish it to be.

“The school books tell us one story but we learned another story from talking to people here,” said one young man. “We know that in 1965, seven army generals accused of being communists were killed by the New Order. A special group was formed to kill communists and sympathizers. It started in Central Java, then moved to East Java and Bali. In Bali they used pre-existing tensions to inflame conflict locally. The Balinese began to kill one another. The government said it was about politics, but it was really about grievances, land grabs, jealousy and other personal issues.” He told us how he learned that his grandfather had been killed by his best friend’s grandfather. “My friend’s grandfather said that if he hadn’t killed others, others would have killed him and his family. The survivors don’t want to talk about it because they took the land of the people they killed. Many people still live near the neighbours that killed their family members. It’s still a very complex situation.” Here at the end of 2012 it’s very easy to forget that less than a generation ago social activism could get you and your family into very deep trouble, imprisoned or killed. In a conflict-averse culture of steep hierarchy, it took huge courage to stand up and demand justice. It’s still not easy, nor perhaps safe. So I will not name these young people.

Ibu Kat’s book of stories Bali Daze - Freefall off the Tourist Trail is Available from : - Ganesha Books in Ubud and Seminyak - www.balidazethebook.com downloadable as a PDF file - Amazon downloadable for Kindle

But handicrafts are a dying industry here, the result of an unstable global economy and changing trends. As Balinese interests and aspirations change with the times, there’s no incentive for young people to learn the old skills like stone

Menjangan: Safari on Horseback Leaving the worries of the world behind us seemed to take an eternity. In the mid-morning heat driving west out of the scruffy town of Seririt , the straight road along Bali’s northwest coast finally led into dry rolling hills past a scraggly stunted landscape. We drove right by the big sign on the highway announcing The Menjangan (www.themenjangan.com), then doubled back to turn down the dirt road entrance. After bumping along for 10 minutes, we could see in the distance a preposterously tall structure with a pointed roof sitting incongruously in the middle of the forest. I couldn’t help but think of Rapunzel’s tower in the Grimm Brother’s fairytale. The lobby opened up to an expanse of trees climbing up to the soft rounded contours of distant hills. The rugged top of Mount Hulu was to the southeast while the Lombok Sea glimmered to the north. Resorts are few and far between in this corner of Bali. But the fact that The Menjangan is right in the middle of a 400 hectare national park, with its own microclimate and ecosystem of plant, animal and bird species found nowhere else on Bali, makes it stand out among all the rest. The environment at this time of year is reminiscent of a bush camp on the African savannah. I was also reminded of the arid eastern islands of Nusa Tenggara. Bali’s westernmost urban center and port, Gilimanuk, is only 20 minutes away. With all the immense solitude, serenity and silence, we could feel ourselves becoming calmer and more relaxed by the minute. Soon after checking in, Rico Haus, the resort’s Swiss manager, dropped by our room. One of the most solicitous managers I’ve ever met, Rico seems to pop up everywhere responding to guest’s needs, equally gracious and approachable in flawless French, German or English. Rico urged us to take one of the double-decker sightseeing buggies down to the beachside restaurant for dinner. These converted vans are named after the anteater (trenggiling) indigenous to Southeast Asia. Several of the resort’s other physical features are also given the names of animals: the impressive reception tower is known as punai (pigeon), the stable’s code name is kijang (deer) and the resort itself is named after another species of deer (menjangan).

Those species that do live here are not dependent on nor do they show fear of people, essentially co-inhabiting the park along with humans. The Menjangan follows all the green environmental practices that are required for public use of a national park. They don’t even fog to cut back on insect pests. Snorkeling, diving and horseback riding are the most popular. Seventy percent of the guests are Europeans. The park is most famous for its birds – around 120 species - that can best be seen from 6 am to 8 am. Waking up on our first morning in the Monsoon Lodge, we could hear troupes of macaques and the chirping, twittering, cooing and singing of birds, so unlike the sounds of rice field species heard in the countryside surrounding our house in Tabanan. I was introduced to Pak Putu, the resort’s “wildlife specialist” who was to take me bird watching the next morning. Pak Putu takes up to six people on a two-hour walks, which only take place in the dry season from May to November when birds can be spotted more easily among the leafless trees. Some guests come here only for the birds. People from the UK are particularly fond of birds, Pak Putu said, and often join his groups. The next morning at 6 am sharp, carrying two bird spotting books and two pairs of binoculars, Pak Putu met me at the Bali Tower. As soon as we started down the main road he began to rattle off the names of birds he spied through his binoculars. Some nimble bird species that he named could only be heard and not seen. He mimicked the sound of doves, owls, flycatchers. Whenever he whistled, he got a response. He could play back bird calls upon request. Within 15 minutes Pak Putu had pointed out a long-billed Black Drongo, Yellow Vented Bulbul, Collard Kingfisher, Verditer Flycatcher, Lineated Barbet, Blackwing Starling, Collared Dove, Long-tailed shrike and the tiny Collared Scops Owl, a dark gray miniature owl with pointed black ears. The prize of the morning was a rare and colorful pheasant, the Banded Fitta, flying low to the ground and difficult to see. Two days previously, Pak Putu saw an Oriental Pied Hornbill, even rarer still. With 30 different kinds of mangrove trees and numerous other species, the park’s botany is also unique. Pak Putu pointed out the bark of one particular tree that looks exactly like the skin of a crocodile. A strangler fig along the main road just a short distance from Bali Tower has completely engulfed its host tree. From there, we walked down to the horse stables, rife with bird song, then in and out of narrow bushy walking paths spotting different birds as we went. Once Pak Putu stopped, motioned me to be silent, then pointed to a pair of Bali Starlings preening themselves in the sunlight.

As we rode along, just missing tree trunks jutting out into the road, we caught a big-eared doe and her young in the headlights, then a few minutes later came across a whole herd standing up alertly but not afraid. On the 10-minute ride we also saw ayam hutan (forest fowl) from atop of this awkward-looking contraptions. Because of the resort’s size, the delightful vehicles are on call at any time of the day or night via walkietalkie. From point A to point B can be as much as 15 minutes apart. The rides back and forth from the restaurant are mini-safaris in themselves. Equipped with swiveling lights, the anteater’s driver will stop if passengers want to observe wildlife or take a photo.

No Experience Required At the dive center east of the restaurant we got fitted out with flippers and masks and walked over to the long pier that juts out between a gap in the mangroves. The calm waters of Bajul Bay, also popular with kayakers, swimmers and sunbathers, is the resort’s house reef. We spotted dragon, damsel, tiger and mandarin fish but the best thing about the experience was the splendid view and the total supremacy of nature except for the occasional canopied boat gliding by with tiny red and white fluttering flags, heading to dive sites off Menjangan Island.

Bird Man of Menjangan The next morning over breakfast Rico gave me a capsule run down of the resort’s attractions which actually combine several holidays in one – a lazy beach holiday, Safari wildlife adventure or activity-based marine recreation. Rico explained that guest’s tastes tend to be either recreational or wildlife oriented, what he calls “nature” guests. No species of animal inhabit the West Bali National Park that doesn’t belong here, he explained. That includes dogs, cockroaches and even flowers like frangipani.

The small uninhabited island of Menjangan boasts one of Indonesia’s most spectacular coral reefs with no less than 7 worldclass dive sites and dramatic walls which are home to a vast range of underwater marine life: sea fans, pygmy seahorses, vivid gorgonians, schools of snapper, reef sharks, Moray eels, turtles and clown fish. You don’t even need to be an experienced diver. An introductory course for first time divers teaches safety measures and takes practice dives without a certificate. With its mild current, small waves, shallow water, and visibility averaging

15-25 meters, Menjangan is an ideal venue for beginners. The idyllic trip out to the island, leaving at 9 am each morning, takes 30 minutes from Labuan Lalalang Harbor, just 10 minutes west of the resort. Later that day we met at the horse stables, one of Bali’s largest, though it holds only 13 horses. We were assigned not the usual emaciated tourist specimens but sturdy well-fed and cared for Australian steeds. No prior training or experience was required, as the horses are led by guides. The gentle one-hour 8 kilometer ride took us down a sandy path winding through the trees, then led into a headland. The first creature we encountered was a huge black biawak climbing out of a water hole, then scampering off into the bushes. Further on, a whole family of deer calmly stared up at us out while lying in bushes until one of them stood on its feet, which caused all of them bolt. Climbing up to a rocky section in and out of trees, we saw squirrels, langgur monkeys and muncak barking deer. The trail eventually led down to a goldensand beach where we watched the sun set over the deep purple 2600-meter-high Ijen volcano of East Java. From Woodland to Seaside Villas For our last day we wanted to change environments so we shifted to one of the 7 villas situated along a private shoreline just 15 meters from the sea. Like staying in another hotel, the villas were accessible by either walking on the sand or down a long wooden elevated walk way. We entered a spacious room with minimalist décor, windows three-quarters of the way around and large openair bathroom. No cable channels were available on the big screened monitor on which you can only view DVDs, but watching the dreary tumult of the world would somehow be out of place in such an environment. Yet with the free Wi-Fi my teenage daughter Aysah was never out of touch facebooking and texting her friends, and the Sempati mobile phone signal was unusually strong. It was so hot that the a/c labored to keep the room cool, so we just opened the sliding doors and sat outside listening to the waves, watching seabirds dip and dive and idly following the progress of a dive boat moving silently across the horizon. The tide was out, exposing the shallow living reef and flats. Trees were sparse along the shoreline, which made their outlines all the more dramatic. B e c a u s e o f i ts wonderful setting of seashore and volcanoes beyond, we ate all our meals at the openair restaurant on a deck by the beach. Quite astonishing for such a remote place, the variety of good quality d i s h e s a r e th e creations of 28-year-old Chef Anton who himself visits local farmers and suppliers in Singaraja which explains why the food is so fresh and the portions so generous. There are even freshly-squeezed fruit juices and a separate vegetarian menu. Bracing for menu shock, I found the prices for food and beverages surprisingly affordable. When Rico dropped by our table, I said, “I’m not complaining, but why are the prices so low?” He answered that it was a part of the resort’s philosophy. “You can’t take advantage of the situation. Guests have nowhere else to go, so it would be unethical to overcharge.” Consisting of only eight tables under umbrellas (with three more further down the beach), the atmosphere of the restaurant was very intimate. In the evenings globe lamps cast a soft yellow circle on the tables, and spotlighting accentuated the surroundings of mangrove, rolling sand, lapping waves. The conversation was hushed, as if humbled by all the natural beauty.

Henje H. Hild:

Crime Novel Writer

Henje H. Hild was born six months after the start of WW II in the charming medieval town of Lueneburg, south of Hamburg in northern Germany. When he was a five-year-old boy, he saw the sky turn red over the burning city of Hamburg. Since the family had barely enough to eat, his mother sent him out to pick daisies for food. In 1962 Henje entered Hamburg University to study Geography and English Literature, and in 1964 he was a guest student at Cambridge University for one term, then taught German as an assistant teacher at London/UK schools from 1965 to 1966. In 1969, he became a teacher in Lueneburg where he worked his whole professional life until he retired in 2003. In 1986, he earned a doctorate at Guttenberg University in Mainz, Germany. In 2010, the professor and his wife Beate emigrated to Indonesia and now live in the mountains of central Bali. In April 2012, Henje’s German-language crime novel Bali -Verhaengnisvolle Tropennacht (Bali-Disastrous Tropical Night) was published by Saritaksu Editions in Bali. What person has had a big influence on you? While attending Hamburg University, it was my privilege to be a student of Professor Kolb who specialized in the geography of Southeast Asia. This knowledgeable and gifted lecturer, a most flamboyant character who wore roughly 50 suits that had been handmade in Southeast Asia, had the remarkable ability to bring us close to a fascinating region of the world which at theat time was totally unknown to us. What are your interests? I have always been actively interested in sports and the arts, but especially enjoy travelling to foreign countries as often as possible. I worked as a dishwasher on board cargo ships and as a steward on cruise liners. Non-fiction books on geography, as well as writing academic articles about on geography for schools and universities also hold great interest for me. What kinds of jobs have you done in your life? For more than 30 years I taught geography to boys and girls at the Herderschule in Lueneburg. In 1975, I was promoted to the rank of Advisor of Geography (Studiendirektor) - the youngest on record - for the Government of Lower Saxony, an extensive area with dozens of grammar schools and hundreds of geography teachers. When did you visit Bali for the first time? Together with my wife Beate I came to Bali first during the

1970s. We arrived in Jakarta full of excitement, but to our disappointment Indonesia’s capital was too noisy and dirty for our liking. We quickly headed for Bali and immediately loved its breathtakingly beautiful nature and its overwhelmingly impressive culture. Why have you visited Bali so often since? Like millions of other tourists, we came to Bali to enjoy the island’s nature and culture, but we also used the island as a base to visit other Indonesian islands. Later, I accompanied groups of German tourists as a tour leader. After my retirement I taught on a voluntary basis for five very gratifying years as a guest lecturer of Geography in the Tourism Department at Udayana University in Denpasar. What inspired you to write a detective story? I rather prefer the modern term “crime novel.” The term “detective story” should be reserved for those books with a detective as the central character, for or example in the books of Agatha Christie. Anyway, after my retirement I wanted to start a new chapter in my life. In my youth, I had always enjoyed reading crime novels, so I thought it would be challenging and fun writing one myself. I wanted to know if I had enough imagination and talent to compete with other writers in that specific genre.

C/Ns/G-14 Nov. 12

May I ask what is your story about? Obviously, it’s an absolute must that I cannot reveal any details about the plot. Betraying that critical information would be unfair to readers who of course wish to guess for themselves which of the characters might have committed the capital offence. But since you asked so politely, very briefly…a rich German real estate agent who lives on Bali is celebrating his birthday with a luxurious party with all his guests staying the night. The next morning one of them is found dead. After an extensive investigation, it is concluded that everybody is a suspect. In the surprise ending, the case is solved due to the mutual cooperation between highly qualified Balinese police officers and astute German experts. What do you feel is unique about your detective story… oops, I mean crime novel? From the start I wanted to create a plot that was believable so that the Balinese atmosphere, where all the fictional action takes place, is authentic. This enables the reader to get to know or rediscover the locations on the island that are described. Nowadays, at least in Germany, crime novels with well-researched regional settings have become very popular. That’s why I chose Bali as my setting with real life Bali situations as well as Indonesian language expressions as part of the narrative.

C/Ns/G-18 April 12

Is your book for sale in Bali? Bali - Disastrous Tropical Night is primarily meant for German speaking tourists and expats visiting or living on Bali. Presently my book is only obtainable in bookshops in Bali, especially in hotels where lots of German guests stay. Except for Bali guidebooks, unfortunately there are hardly any German-language books available here. Do you have any more crime novels planned? I have already completed another book, provisionally entitled Bali - Fatal Tropical Storm (Bali - Schicksalhafter Tropensturm) in which some of the Balinese characters from my first book appear again, although in different roles. I’m also planning a third book - presumably the last one of my small series of Bali crime novels. But please don’t ask, even politely, what these two detective novels are about!

The Wicked Parrot (31 December) Often the choice of where to go, particularly New Year’s Eve is dictated by where we live.

A little trivia here, Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and it is a Scottish custom to sing this on Hogmanay or New Year’s Eve as we know it. As the Scots emigrated they took this song with them and the world over it is customary to sing this song for the sake of old times. The Wicked Parrot is an Irish music pub with great Irish pub food and live music every evening. The Bali Leprechauns Irish Band play Irish music every Monday, Wednesday and Friday so if you feel like a bit of Ireland in Bali, this is the place to be.
