PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH
C/He/I-17 Feb 16
By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.
THE DREADED COUGH (Part 2) In the previous edition we discussed types of cough, in this edition we will look at what we can do about them. Which remedies actually work and which do nothing at all, as well as those that could actually do harm. Globally we spend billions of dollars on over-the-counter cold and Àu remedies annually. Turns out that by and large, we’re wasting our money. Evidence suggests that few remedies-herbal, over-the-counter, or homeopathic-are likely to inÀuence the course of a cough or the Àu.
Honey Studies have found that honey can work more ef¿ciently to calm a cough than over-the-counter drugs. It is a rich demulcent, with a high viscosity and stickiness that does an incredible job of coating and soothing those irritated mucous membranes.Thanks to an enzyme added by bees when they harvest honey, it also has antibacterial properties as well, which may help shorten how long you have the cough if it is due to bacterial illness. This is an excellent alternative remedy for both kids and adults, but should never be given to children under the age of 2 years due to the risk of botulism.
Vitamin C There’s no concrete evidence that large doses of C can reduce the duration or severity of coughs & colds. Vitamin C is water soluble, so anything over the recommended dietary allowance-which is 90 milligrams a day for men and 75 for women-will be eliminated from the body when you urinate. The better approach: Fill up on whole foods loaded with vitamin C, which are also loaded with other important nutrients to keep your body strong and healthy.
Antihistamines Do they work? Yes. If your symptoms are caused by allergy & irritation such as runny nose and scratchy throat, an antihistamine may provide temporary relief. Often used to treat allergies, common brand names include Claritin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl. Claritin and Zyrtec aren’t likely to make you drowsy. Speci¿c cough preparations may help your cough. Avoid cold remedies that combine medicines to treat many symptoms. It is generally better to treat each symptom separately. There are two kinds of speci¿c cough medicines: expectorants and suppressants.
Expectorants Zinc Does it work? Maybe. Some evidence suggests that zinc lozenges may ease symptoms and shorten the duration of the common cold & cough, but most studies are small and don’t provide enough robust evidence of bene¿t. Zinc nasal products have been linked to a permanent loss of taste and smell in some people. It is wise not to use nasal sprays based on zinc, however oral products, like zinc tablets or lozenges, are deemed safe at the recommended dose.
Echinacea Studies on whether the herb echinacea reduces the duration of the common cough & cold are a mixed bag. So much depends on the treatment’s preparation-juice, root-and-herb or tincture-which can vary widely. One study found that echinacea pills were about as effective as placebo pills in shortening the length of a cold. Some people may also be allergic to Echinacea. Pregnant women should not take Echinacea.
Expectorants thin the nasty mucous draining down the back of your throat, which helps you cough it up and out. Look for expectorants containing guaifenesin. These products can help, but the best expectorant may just be to drink more Àuids. Warm Àuids such as teas or hot lemon drinks are best. You can also turn on the hot water in the shower and breathe it in or try a cool-mist humidi¿er.
Suppressants Suppressants control or suppress the cough reÀex and work best for a dry, hacking cough that keeps you awake. Use cough suppressants wisely. Don’t suppress a productive cough too much, unless it is keeping you from getting enough rest. Coughing is useful because it brings up mucus from the lungs and helps prevent bacterial infections. People with asthma and other lung diseases need to cough. If you have a dry, hacking cough, ask your doctor about an effective cough suppressant medicine. Studies show that over-the-counter cough medicines do not work very well. And some of these medicines can cause problems if
you use too much of them. It is important to use medicines correctly and to keep them out of the reach of children to prevent accidental use. Most effective suppressants usually contain codeine, which is very effective however should be taken with caution, and is also not available as a cough treatment here in Indonesia.
What About Kids? In 2008, the FDA strongly recommended against giving over-the-counter cough and cold medicines to children who are under age 2. Evidence indicates that children’s cold medicines don’t really help and may pose a real (although small) risk of side effects, particularly to young children. This has cast serious doubt on a common and trusted group of medicines - and left many parents anxious and confused. Many of these preparations are no longer marketed for this age group overseas, however are still readily available here. Which kids’ cold medicines are in question? Speci¿cally, the four different categories of drugs are: Cough suppressants (dextromethorphan or DM) Cough expectorants (guaifenesin) Decongestants (pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine) Certain antihistamines (such as brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine maleate, and diphenhydramine [Benadryl]) Personally if I give anything to children I prefer a local (natural) syrup called Laserin which is full of goodies like cardamon extract, ginger, cloves, sirih (betel) leaf, sage leaf, menthol & hibiscus Leaf. Honey should never be given to children under 2.

REJUVENATE YOUR TRESSES Living in the tropics can have some adverse effects on your crowning glory. Your hair is continually exposed to sun, sea or swimming pool water, all of which take their toll on your hair. Like most people in Bali, my house uses ground water, which is very hard and really dries my hair out. The following recipes are wonderful any time to get your hair back in soft, shiny condition and can be done at home with easy to follow recipes using all natural products. I’ve learned a lot from Indonesian women about how to keep my hair as healthy and shiny as they do. Balinese women have been using coconuts for centuries. Sometimes, before I jump in the swimming pool, I drench my hair in virgin coconut oil to protect it from the chorine and leave my hair soft when I shampoo it after swimming.
For best results, sit in the sun or stay in a steamy shower for 15–20 minutes to let the nutrients be absorbed into your hair, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. If necessary, follow with your favourite hair conditioner.
Aloe Hair Remedy Ingredients: 150 ml/ ¾ cup pure aloe gel 50 ml/ ¼ cup vegetable glycerine A small Vitamin E capsule 3 drops jasmine essential oil 3 drops chamomile essential oil
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl using an electric mixer or a blender. Add the essential oils last and stir well. After shampooing, apply the mix and massage gently into your scalp and hair to the ends. Cover your head with a shower Balinese Coconut Milk cap and then wrap a towel around it. For best results, use a Coconut palms provide an abundant source of food and oil hot steamed towel to allow the heat to penetrate better. Allow for people all over Indonesia. Indonesians have been using all the gel mixture to penetrate for 10 -15 minutes, then rinse parts of the coconut for centuries in their cooking, to condition well with warm water. their hair and to moisturize their skin. The Balinese also apply coconut oil to their hair to keep it shiny and soft. Aloe Vera Hair Drench If swimming is part of your Coconut milk (santan) is made by mixing grated coconut regular routine, you’re sure with water and squeezing out the milky water. Or if a fresh to have noticed the damage coconut is unavailable, you can use a small carton of coconut to your swimming costume, cream, available from most supermarkets. Drench your hair especially if there is chorine in the cream, clip it up and cover it with a shower cap. Leave in the pool. Damage is it on for at least half an hour, then shampoo and condition as happening to your hair, as usual. The longer you leave the coconut cream on, the well. Try this treatment to softer your hair will be. keep damage to a minimum.

The Frugal Balinist *Charging mobile phones. Bali airport’s domestic departure terminal has no wall outlets, so ask the operator of the luggage wrapping service if you may plug into their extension cord. On the plane itself switch the airplane mode on for faster charging. Ace Hardware sells chargers with 2 USB plugs and 2.1-AMP output for Rp120,000. A degraded battery is really a bummer with older iPhones since they already drain so quickly. If your old iPhone’s battery’s life is starting to drain too fast, you can have the battery replaced in half an hour (including 15 min. for the new battery to charge) at one of Bali’s electronic shops in Denpasar for around Rp350,000-Rp400,000 or you could try to do it yourself if you are con¿dent enough of your skills (check out www.i¿xit.com). It’s a myth that it’s bad to keep charging your phone (or laptop) after it reaches 100% as it will degrade the battery. In fact, your smart device will stop receiving the full electrical current once it reaches 100%, allowing instead for an occasional “trickle charge” just enough to keep it at a full 100%. This is not bad for your battery. What is bad for your phone or other device is allowing the battery to drop really low, especially if you drain it completely to 0%, then charge it completely to 100%. If you do this regularly, the battery will degrade considerably faster. It’s best to charge more frequently in smaller doses. Excessive heat can also degrade your battery over time, so if you charge it overnight, it’s recommended to remove the case as this can cause the phone to generate more heat.
*Fast-track Indonesia. Sacha Stevenson’s creative, original and practical bi-lingual videos, Facebook posts and tweets are brilliantly entertaining and informative. She tells it like it is – the volume of hate mail is an indicator that this 30-something youtuber is on the right track. Though Canadian, she speaks like a true Indonesian with slang, swear words and urbandictionary expressions. Her informed analysis and invaluable advice is delivered with great insight, humor and panoply of facial expressions. Nothing escapes her intellectual acuity: politics, corruption, Sinetron and Indonesian TV, How to Make Bakwan & Krupuk, What I Hate About Jakarta, What it Feels like to be a Bule, Learn Indonesian in 30 seconds, Cool Indonesian Slang, 27 Sundanese Swear Words, 27 Balinese Swear Words, How Indonesians Survive 30 days of Ramadan, How to Drive on Indonesian Roads, The Truth about Indonesian Men, Dating Indonesian Girls, You Tube Success Tips, Medical Tutorials, The Scariest Indonesian Word, 5 Ways to Eat Indomie, How to Order in a Restaurant. Of special note are her classic viral series of 19 videos on How to Act Indonesian. Sacha’s Facebook page is lively platform for discussing social issues. Her production company consists of only her Sundanese husband and herself who serves as writer, actor, editor and cameraman. What makes her videos invaluable and relevant to both English and Indonesian speakers is that the information can be directly applied in common situations that occur everyday life. It’s like you have inside information on what the nation thinks, feels, fears and feels, a body of knowledge and experience that has taken Sacha 15 years to accumulate.

*Avoid punishing banking services fees: Recently I was charged a preposterous $16.75 for “exchange and ATM fees” for withdrawing a mere $375 using my US-based bank’s debit/ credit card in Bali. Miffed, I did a survey among my American friends here…One reduces these onerous electronic fees by
having his Social Security bene¿ts by ¿rst depositing money into his CitiBank account in the U.S. Then he opened a Citibank Dollar account in Denpasar. If he keeps a minimum of US$5000 in his Citibank account in Bali, he is able to transfer dollars between both accounts for free. This friend is now able to either withdraw the dollars himself for free or if it’s a high amount (such as $5000) he does an EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) between his Bali CitiBank Dollar account and his BCA dollar account. When he needs rupiah, he goes online and moves between the BCA Dollar and rupiah accounts looking for the very best rate. Thus his only real costs are the EFT (about $15) and the better exchange rate! Another friend maintains a US$ account in Bali with BII (Permata and BCA also offer dollar accounts), then periodically transfers the bulk of his monthly expense requirements at a one-time fee of $40 from Wells Fargo with $5 charge by his BII bank. Another friend uses SDFCU which charges $30 for transfers to Indonesia in either dollars or converted rupiah, but that’s only for Americans. Yet another friend uses investment accounts (Vanguard, Schwab), which offer accounts with no foreign ATM fees, but you need to maintain a signi¿cant balance in those accounts.
*Free delivery: Ubud Direct (www.ubuddiect.com) is Bali’s newest online health store delivering high quality dry and fresh produce (nuts and seeds, fruit, groceries, bread, juices, personal care products) carefully sourced from more than 35 suppliers throughout Bali, including fresh organic vegetables from Ariesta Bali Farms - pretty much everything you need to live. If you place an order on their website before 8 a.m. Mon.Sat. and meet the minimum order requirements, they will deliver free to your door anywhere in Bali by the end of the day. They also deliver to the rest of Indonesia. Generally prices are the same or better than those in other retail outlets but with the added advantage of free home delivery. Bali tel. 081554-302-780, email info@ubuddirect.com, website http://www. ubuddirect.com.
*Discovery Science Channel has proven “Five Second Rule” true if you drop food on the ground when both the item and surface are dry. However, foods left longer than 30 seconds collect 10 times the bacteria than those snapped up after only three seconds. It’s also safer to eat food dropped onto carpets and rugs because their tufts have less surface area to transmit germs.
*Travel minitips. Carry your favorite sauces in individual sachets; security X-rays don’t recognize the shapes as a “liquid,” meaning you can stash them in your bags and pockets; *Before booking a ticket to a foreign country, search online first for the country’s calendar of national and religious holidays, major festivals, when school vacation begins. During these times, hotels are overbooked, transportation pricey and overcrowded and/or restaurants and attractions are closed; *Travel necessities: an all-purpose Leatherman-type tool (more useful than Swiss Army knife!), a 30-40 ft. line of strong, thin twine for a clothesline - if you double the line it will support a lightweight hammock; a backpack with hidden rollers and expandable pockets and pouches that will allow it to hold 50% more stuff, turning it into a virtual rucksack; *Numbeo (numbeo. com/travel-prices) ranks countries and cities by costs of living, restaurant costs and travel costs; *Kayak’s Travel Hacker global pages gives the best data-based guess of ticket prices for most airlines on sale at your estimated time of departure and will also send airfare alerts from their Airfare Watchdog in case really cheap tickets come up in the meantime; *Fareness (fareness.com) compares how much you might have to pay on the approximate dates you’re planning to visit a country, including money-saving advice and where to ¿nd a spare bed; *Hopper (hopper.com/research) will continually check on prices of Àights on your day of travel, alerting you if any cheap tickets come up; *Many domestic airlines are not listed on any travel site except the company’s own, so check out lists on Wikipedia of all commercial airlines serving most countries. *Uber, Part II. Cons: Sometimes an Uber driver will cancel
when they learn that you want to travel far such as from Kuta to Padangbai. Also they won’t drive to some locations like Tanah Lot or near designated taxi areas due to local taxi ma¿a and the possibility that their car or themselves will get beat up. At tourist sites, always address them by name and don’t mention Uber. If you come out of a mall and there are several taxis waiting in a taxi stand, walk down the street 100 meters, describe your location when ordering and ask what the color of their car is or their car’s number plate. Although they are not allowed to ask, Uber drivers sometimes expect a tip. Some Uber vehicles will accommodate 5-6 passengers so it’s very cost saving if traveling with the whole family. If a driver shows up with a Karimun, there’s no way 4 people with luggage will ¿t, but it’s easy to cancel and get a normal sized vehicle. In off-the-main road places, Uber isn’t always available in the evening, so it’s best to use a mix of grabcar and Uber. Always check your receipt to make sure you’re not charged 49 km for a 7 km ride (Uber will clear up any discrepancies).
*Mold, Part II-cleaning treatments. First ¿nd out where the water is coming in - leaking roof, walls are wicking or an outer coat of paint is failing to keep the moisture out. Wash and dry all surfaces including closed spaces such as wardrobes, sink cabinets and crevices. If the mold is on ceilings place cloth on mop or broom to remove. You are ready for treating the surfaces against mold infestation. Water sprayed onto a wall that already has moisture from within (due to inadequate waterproo¿ng or an improper foundation built over rice ¿eld) will only add to the problem. Avoid the usual cleaning products, which are just temporary solutions. Bleach is no use against mold. The most effective is to add an essential oil such as tea tree oil, rosemary, cinnamon, oregano, thyme or lavender to alcohol, which can be bought from Guardian or any apotek. The alcohol carries the essential oil to wherever it is sprayed, then evaporates, leaving only the essential oil behind to do its work. These oils smell good too! A vinegar solution sprayed or wiped on surfaces removes and stops the growth of mold by balancing the PH. Other treatments include watered-down clove, peppermint and eucalyptus oils. After treatment, use dehumidi¿ers (serap air) for sale for Rp8,900 (450 ml) at Delta Dewata or Bintang supermarkets. Thieves Essential Oil will also help to eliminate moldy spots in your home; available for Rp585,000 (15 ml) from bubblechats.com or Rp620,000 (15 ml) from araomaterapioli.com. *Enviro¿t G-3300: For an outside kitchen, this biomass cooking stove for Rp530,000 is designed to increase safety and heat ef¿ciency while minimizing emissions, weight and cost. This clean energy stove maximizes heat transfer to cook food more quickly, saving money by using up to 60% less wood for cooking, improves cooking ef¿ciency up to 3 times (boils 1 liter of water in less than 5 minutes). Its combustion chamber is engineered to reduce harmful smoke and gas emissions by up to 80%. It is portable, quick to light, easy to use and clean. To avoid rust, don’t clean the stove with water or soap. Available for Rp530,000 at Kopernik’s Tech Kiosk, Jl. Raya Pengosekan, Ubud, tel. 0361-977-233; hours 9 am - 5 pm Mon.-Friday.

Cubby House Kids’ After School Program Means Mum and Dad Can Breathe Easy As parents, we tend to don numerous hats and attempt to be many things at once but there are times when we need a little assistance to juggle the variety of afternoon commitments that come with having kids of different ages! School pick up times don’t always line up with work commitments and there can be a period where mum or dad might land at a loss as to how to entertain or occupy the little ones until knock off time. Commencing early April to coincide with Term 4 of the school year, Cubby House Kids Club will introduce its brand new After School Program for children aged 3 to 12 years. For a mere Rp150,000++ per day kids can enjoy three hours of activities and entertainment from 2pm to 5pm every
weekday and parents can rest assured their youngsters stay safe and happily occupied until their big brother or sister has finished after school sport or work is done for the day! Dull and dreary afternoons are definitely NOT on the agenda as this varied program offers a different line up of activities for each day and just so they still have time to finish the important stuff, there is an hour set aside for kids to complete their homework before getting into the fun. Once the the hard work is done, kids can either chill in AC with the daily movie or channel their artistic talents into creating a masterpiece for mum and dad. Mondays means jewelry making or creating their own crown! Tuesday, they can fold their way to cool origami figures or personalise
Bella’s on Track to Keep Berawa Beach Clean It merely took one walk along the beach during her first wet season in Bali for beach clean up crusader, Bella Mertens to realise she needed to take action. Hailing originally from Germany with an extensive background in tourism and numerous years of travel under her belt, (including several years in Namibia), she is fully aware of the importance of keeping what attracts people to an area like Bali in pristine condition. With a passion for animals and the environment and coming from a country where penalties are very effective in the control of littering, Bella was initially mortified by the amount of trash on Bali beaches, but instead of pointing fingers, she decided to become a part of the change for the better. Wanting to give back to the island she currently calls home, Bella was inspired to form the Bali Beach Clean up Community - a clean up program focusing on the areas of beach between the two ‘rivers’ from Berawa near LV8 to the beach in front of the temple on Jalan Segara Perancak just before Batu Bolong. Ideally she would love to extend these areas but this is dependent on the numbers of volunteers at each fortnightly clean up. An independent activity relying on the generosity of volunteers, (both local and visitors) and those sharing her passion for a pretty pantai, Bella says she has had a positive
In addition to being seriously cheap and cheerful child care, Cubby House After School Program means kids get to take home their crafty creations, enjoy a healthy snack and stay well hydrated with access to unlimited mineral water throughout the afternoon. It’s the best value Rp150K you’ll spend with the added peace of mind that your cherubs are entertained and entirely safe. As usual, if you are a Canggu Club Platinum or Gold member you get to enjoy a further 20% off the advertised rate! Of course if you are a little late with pick up and you arrive after 5pm, your children will continue to remain under the care of Cubby House Staff but at the regular CHKC rates. For further information about this after school program and all other events and programs on offer at Cubby House (including their scrumptious Saturday Cooking Classes) check out the website on: cubbyhousekidsclub.com email them at: cubbyhouse@cangguclub.com or give them a call: +62 85857222942 and discover the many reasons why it’s still Bali’s best Kids’Club!

response from the Banjar as well as some assistance from Berawa accommodation house, Sedasa. While only a small operation, they have helped the program by donating rubber gloves for beach clean up volunteers as well as assistance with a striking logo to help raise the profile of this beach clean up operation. Eco Bali Recycling has also climbed aboard and Bella coordinates with them to pick up all of the recyclables at the end of each fortnightly beach combing effort. Despite positive efforts and the support of some die hard volunteers, it is still an uphill battle as Bella realises she needs to get the word out there in order to increase awareness and the number of volunteers. Buoyed by the success of current programs the likes of ‘Bye Bye Plastic Bags’ and Keep Bali Clean, she knows that education, persistence and communication are the keys and the more
When asked if she believes there has been a reduction in the amount of rubbish along the beaches over the past year, Bella admits it is still an issue, particularly in the wet season as the ‘gots’ transport the trash to the sea and the origin of the rubbish issue does not necessarily stem from the beach. She does feel that thanks to the ongoing efforts of conservation programs, education, other community beach clean up efforts and campaigns to reduce the amount of ‘one time use’ plastics on the island, awareness and understanding of the issue has improved and the mindset is gradually changing for the better. The Bali Beach Clean Up Community Berawa holds morning beach clean ups every second Saturday from around 8am and they meet at the Berawa Steps. Lasting under an hour, it’s an opportunity to take just 45 minutes out of your morning to do your part to keep your local beach looking beautiful! Find them on Facebook and like their page to keep abreast of updates on clean up times. Whether you plan to be in Bali for the long haul or are just passing through, I’d bet a Bintang you’ll pay a visit to the beach to enjoy the surf, sand, scenery and this addictive island culture. It’s about time we all pitched in to help keep it the way we want to see it. After all, a problem shared is a problem halved. Facebook: Bali Beach Cleanup Community Berawa Canggu

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris
Surprise Plants ‘Hi, I have a small compost heap and to my surprise it appears that I have some small papaya plants sprouting out of it they are about half a foot tall now. I am wondering if I should transplant them into another part of the garden. Would it be possible to grow papaya fruits from these plants or is it no good because the seeds came from a plant bought at the store? Regards Pat from Canggu’ There’s nothing like having surprise plants spring up in the garden! Sometimes without cultivating or even sowing seeds all of a sudden you can have new plants. It’s just another bene¿t of the compost heap! The more you compost the more plants you’ll end up with, it all depends on what you put in. I have grown all sorts of things that have sprung up out of nowhere, such as avocado trees, chillis, potatoes and tomatoes regularly. In fact last year the tomatoes that I transplanted from the compost produced an outstanding crop, I’ve saved the seed so I will be keen to see how the compost pile tomatoes perform this time around! Growing plants like tomatoes from the compost can sometimes be hit and miss because often store bought tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables are grown from hybridised seed, known as an F1 or ¿rst generation hybrid - this means that the seed has been developed with desirable characteristics from a set of parent plants. When seed is then taken from that hybrid any number of combinations of the genes could develop in the next generation so you don’t really know what you will end up until it is growing and fruiting. If you do happen to ¿nd a good variety growing from your compost it will take up to seven generations of growing for your ‘new variety’ to stabilise and then it will de¿nitely produce true to seed, whereas an heirloom variety(un-hybridised) will always grow true to seed year after year. In regard to your papayas I would de¿nitely transplant them somewhere and give it a go. Papayas are fast growing and you could have fruits within 9 months! While you may not know where the parent seed has come from I have grown
plenty of successful plants from the compost, and know plenty of others that have done it too! Sometimes you can even spot papaya growing ‘wild’ on dry vacant blocks of land. Find a good sunny spot and transplant 5-6 plants, being tropical they love heat and sunlight. Papayas start Àowering when they are about one metre tall. The males Àower ¿rst. Male Àowers have long, thin stalks with several small blooms. Female Àowers are usually larger single blooms and very close to the trunk. You only need one male for every ten to ¿fteen female plants to ensure good pollination. It’s that simple just make sure you keep at least one male and one female and you could have fruit within 9 months. The best part is once established it will look after itself. There are many health bene¿ts attributed to the papaya fruit. Regular consumption of the fruit aids digestion, being a rich source of ¿bre it can help to lower cholesterol levels. The juice of papaya also helps to clear infections of the colon. Use the leaves, skin and the Àesh of the fruit to treat burns and wounds on your skin, in a similar soothing way to Aloe Vera. Even if you’re fruits aren’t great the papaya leaf on its own provides so many health bene¿ts that it is worth growing just for that. The papaya leaf contains beta-carotene, calcium, vitamin A, C and E. It also contains a compound, which is currently being researched as a remedy for male infertility. The leaf or seed is good for any digestive disorder including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is a common problem associated with the western food. Papaya seed is also used
as a blood cleanser and immunity booster or just as an all round health tonic. There are many types of jamu (traditional medicine) in Indonesia that include papaya leaf or seed in the recipe. The papain enzyme, which is found in both the papaya fruit and its leaves, has proven to be a cancer-¿ghting enzyme and has also been used to treat digestive disorders, it is now sold as a pill supplement but it’s not cheap! A common use of papaya leaf or seed in natural medicine today is to destroy and expel intestinal worms. To effectively treat intestinal parasites many herbalists recommend a tea made from boiled papaya seed or to take two teaspoons of papaya seeds after each meal for one week. You must chew or crush the seeds ¿rst. Papaya seeds are soft and easy to chew they also have a peppery zing, in fact they can be dried and substituted for pepper in your grinder. Using young papaya leaf is the easiest, cheapest and most effective way to get the most of the health bene¿ts from the papaya tree. The older leaves at the outside of the crown will be much larger and less nutritious. You can cook the leaf on its own or add it to your recipes. Steaming retains more of the vitamins, and minerals inside. Another good method is to boil the leaf in water, and drink the resulting tea, either way the leaf or tea is very bitter. Most natural medicines have this characteristic of bitterness. The tea is a useful remedy to recover from Bali belly and any other stomach problems. Please note that pregnant women should always consult a health care professional before using any herbal remedies, and unripened papaya should never be consumed by pregnant women. Papaya will quickly grow into a tall tree and you may ¿nd the leaves are soon out of reach. It is possible to chop it down and for it to regrow at a lower height with multiple crowns. Otherwise start off new seedlings every couple of months if you want a constant supply of fresh papaya leaves or grow them in pots to restrict their size. You may even ¿nd that you end up growing it just for the leaves and the fruit is an added bonus!

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE MARCH 30 - APRIL 13, 2016
Our Sun continues to travel in the sign of Aries this fortnight and our New Moon is on the 7th, when the Sun, Moon and Uranus all meet and re-ignite the square to Pluto in Capricorn. Mercury is fresh in the sign of Taurus and Venus in Aries. This can be a very volatile time when emotions are close to the surface and tempers can flair at the drop of a hat. Uranus is unpredictable and Aries uncontrollable and prone to irresponsibility. Meanwhile Pluto in Capricorn is doing its best to push ahead with a program of its own and bring everything under control; to create order from the chaos. There will be a tug-o-war between those in authority and those who would seek to challenge it this month. On the personal front you may find yourself at loggerheads with what has come before and the challenges that you face in your life now. Remember that we are in a time of healing ancient wounds and those that run deeply within the human soul; the collective wound on this Planet as well as the personal wounds to your spirit and sense of individuality and freedom. We are in for a time of reconsidering our actions as Mars turns retrograde this month and makes no real movement forward until the end of August this year. Deception and blatant lies will be called to Truth as we make a push towards a more wise way of living and managing global resources and looking toward a healthier future.

NEW MOON 18 Aries 04 April 7, 2016 7:25 p.m.
This New Moon can act as the rocket fuel that will ignite the actions that motivate you through this next year of your life. Get things started now as the going may prove to be a little tough once Mars turns retrograde. You are none-the-less in a year of deep personal investigation and healing psychological wounds and any addictions. There could be unexpected responsibilities motivating you to make the changes to your life and to be more of your authentic self in the differing circumstances arising. Gather your strength and yet be also willing to submit in the face of controversy. There is a tangible push to heal. With Mercury in your sign and through until the beginning of June, you will no doubt be holding on quite firmly to your personal set of ideals and values. The only thing with this is that others will be doing the same with theirs. If you can bring your thoughts into alignment with an expanded perspective and allow your own competitive spirit to quieten then you may just see a solution to the pain within your own community or friendship circle. Being a group oriented person then this is one of the best times to offer your services to the collective. This is a good time to get to the bottom of issues. Any projects you have that are a community enterprise are about to meet their first giant leap forward or their first big financial challenge. It is a good thing that the partnerships involved in this endeavour are adventurous and open-minded, although it is always a wise choice to keep some things to yourself rather than give everyone the entirety of the situation at hand. The healing is far reaching as far as the community is concerned as it sets a new model of embracing the past or what’s come before, as you head into an uncertain future; a future that relies more on synchronicity and faith than a solid plan. This is the beginning of a powerful cycle of growth for you as you now consider those important partnerships in your life. So whether they are business or romantic/marriage or other, this is the time where you may wish to solidify or make a commitment to move forward with your specific goals in mind. Remember to acknowledge the individual aspects that are inherent within each other and you will be able to face any challenges that may arise. You are learning so much at this time and it affords you a much needed healing and re-connection with your higher-self. For others it is the education that comes from embracing foreign cultures. The New Moon is inspiring thoughts of travel and what that will mean to your health and future work or job prospects. Your specific brand of healing centres around sexuality and intimacy and any fears you may hold around getting close to others. Understanding comes in very practical ways and learning discernment when it comes to sharing. As you start to move more in the World from your own centre and become your own self-authority, rather than relying on instruction from others, things will begin to move quite rapidly. Those niggling family matters are somewhere in the recesses of your mind and will surface again in late May. There are some powerful situations arising with this New Moon and they will confront your issues concerning children. The inherent responsibilities we feel in relationship to our own parents or parenting will seek a sense of harmony and this helps you to let go of any resistance or sense of righteousness you’ve been carrying. Your healing still centres on your relationships and self-sacrifice issues. As you do your own personal brand of healing yourself, it will reflect in a more understanding stance with the significant others in your life. Do what needs to be done now as your energy levels may be low through the middle of this year.
This next month promises to bring some interesting, unexpected and sudden surprises in the area of your relationships. The single Libra may meet that quirky somebody who offers the spark of inspiration not only in the bedroom but possibly the boardroom. Even though your inner sanctum is a rather private place, you may wish to invite someone in for the purposes of healing those deeper soul wounds. With a strong desire to get close to others, you also like to know what it is that makes them tick, emotionally speaking. This helps you to understand the workings of your own heart and mind and helps to alleviate unnecessary suffering. As you push yourself forward in the area of your health and work (they may be combined for some) you find that you are now ready to push the boundaries of your own ethics and mental understanding. Taking charge of your financial situation is also highlighted and paramount to success. Generally speaking you have quite strong convictions on many things and this is the time to make them visible and challenge the complacency of others, particularly in the workplace. You have a lot of time for children and the plight of children on the planet and within your own community. Anything that you can do through service will benefit them.
C/G/G-30 Sept. 15
Get ready to make a bold statement or two concerning your offspring or to a love or romantic interest this month. With a certain sense of authority and truth you will be ready to step forward and take your place in the eyes of others. There is something to be said for honest toil that arises from a shared sense of home or roots. Often it is the simple things that make all the difference and you are the one for those minor details during this time. Some of you even build your identity around forthrightness and fairness for all. Your challenges come from internal power struggles none-the-less. There is a powerful dynamic in your chart this month that starts with this New Moon. As you continue to undergo massive transformation you find yourself yet again challenged by family dynamics. Some things seem to hold on for dear life and have a strangle hold on your emotional self. You have a window of opportunity to confront them now, either in person or internally. As hard as it may be at times to speak from the heart, from the emotional body, you will help to elevate the situation once you do. There’s a certain boldness required to speak the hidden truth and it could well be on your side this month.
C/Ns/G-8 July 15
Uranus joins the New Moon to bring some added spontaneity to your movements and conversations this coming month. There’s a hidden power that emerges when you dare to speak up against the status quo or when you reveal some previously hidden agendas. The reason that you may choose to do this would only be for the good of the whole community. As you take the risk of allowing yourself to be an authority on a singular issue or from multiple standpoints, you may attract debate and confrontation. With more sentimental than practical values you run the risk of being called on for the darker aspects of emotional expression. There’s no need for you to be the scapegoat for other peoples misguided thinking and you would do well to declare yourself and what you stand for and are an authority on this month. Yours may well be radical new ideas, as yet unproven and a little ahead of their time, although there is nothing wrong with that. It may actually be ideas whose time has now come. As you wear your heart on your sleeve it is more than likely that others will come to you to share their own need of healing and if you are a healer yourself, you may be busy over the coming months as we go through a collective meld-down.

MUSIC MATTERS By Toby Well it’s been a pretty action packed week for me on the music scene (well if you exclude Nyepi). A lot coming up as the rainy season becomes a wet memory, and the sun once more becomes a permanent ¿xture in the sky. Festival time is nearly upon us, and venues are gearing up for an inÀux of tourists and a very busy summer. This week I have been visiting a few bars in Sanur and seeing how the area is rapidly becoming a very popular location for bands, and live music acts, island wide.
particularly good rendition of Mr. Brownstone, and My Michelle as these are two of the most dif¿cult tracks to pull off. The staff, (as always) were great, and so was the manager who went out of his way for us. So after putting the rabbit back in the bag there we headed for a brand new venue to see what was going down.
Sanur’s night life activities have never really caught the attention of your average Australian tourist, and it had sometimes been described by less inspired holiday makers as ‘SNORE’. Well with the range of bands, and venues now going through the roof, and with great live music bars such as Linga Longa and others that reputation of a boring night out is soon to be as long gone as a drunken bule’s wallet. So on a quiet St Patrick’s evening after only a few drinks (quiet chuckle) myself, and a usual rabble found ourselves in several bars listening to a plethora of live music and enjoying the ambience. First up was The Shining Jewel, The bar is literally massive and has a large purpose built stage at one end, we were here for a pub quiz, then a little later the house band started up. The guys were (in all honesty) pretty generic with the usual Hotel California vibe and not a lot really more to write about. They did allow other people to come and sing and were pretty good all -rounder’s. After the Jewel had wetted the live music appetite we headed for Casablanca as a particularly good Guns and Roses tribute band was playing. I have written at length about Casablanca before and I will say it one more time, this is a very good venue with some excellent live acts, in fact the bar has pretty much dedicated itself to the Sanur live music scene and is the byword for musical excellence in Sanur in the same way as Uncle Norms is in Kuta. The Band (Young Guns) were excellent, and looked the part with the Indonesian singer dressed in a soviet of¿cers cap and the usual garb. The band played all the classics and in my opinion did a
The place is one of Sanurs newest night spots, The Shallot. Smaller than its big brother restaurant The Onion, The Shallot offers good bar at reasonable prices in and amongst some of the more established locations in the town. The walls are covered in tour posters from bands like Sabbath and The Doors and visually the whole place looks like a proper rock den. There is a small stage at the front and the general vibe of the place is that of a venue which is up and coming. The band were good, and had a full arsenal of songs up their sleeves but focused more on the chart side of things with popular cover songs rather than hitting some of the big rock legends that were staring back from the wall.
TJB - Wow, big plans afoot then, so how well do you think you will compete with some of the more established live music venues here such as Linga Longa, or Casablanca? GW - “In all honesty right now and for the foreseeable future I don’t see us competing with those places. We are more about putting on a bit of a show and having a laugh. We do have some excellent talent play here including (The Ripper) and now The Fuse a band where some of the guys used to play in Linga Longa so we are not so much competing as supplementing at the minute.” TJB - So why did you choose Sanur rather than busier areas like Kuta, or Seminyak? “I like Sanur it has a more chilled out laid back vibe, it’s just not so in your face.” TJB - So you guys have two bars and one new restaurant about to open is that right? “Yea I’ll put in a plug if I may, we have the Onion, The Shallot and the new to open Scallion restaurant. The Shallot is all about the bar scene the Scallion is all about the food and the Onion is a sports bar come restaurant come entertainment emporium, we have the largest smoker in Indonesia and some of the tastiest burgers anywhere not to mention three world class pool tables, and in just a year we are rated in the top ten percent of restaurants on Trip Advisor. “ TJB - Ok shameless plug but I’ll let it slide, thanks for the info and good luck bringing more live music to Sanur.
After one too many Bintangs I caught up with the Owner of For more information on any of the restaurants bars etc. The Shallot, Gary, to ask him a few questions. Phone: (0361) 8555544 go to www.theonionbali.com or check them out through Facebook. TJB - Hi Gary, great place! And love the decoration very cool hang out. An ok guy, that’s your lot for this edition of Music Matters, GW - “Cheers yea we are happy with it.” just time to say check out for upcoming festivals and I will TJB - So ¿rst question, what kind of music are you guys be writing a whats-on guide in the next edition to help you putting on at the Shallot? plan for summer, until then keep it live and make it matter! “Well were aiming to please and not exclude anybody so pretty much middle of the road rock and pop covers at the moment, we are a new bar and want to have something for everyone.” TJB - Will you be showcasing DJ’s as well as bands? If you enjoyed this article or have any questions, concerns, or GW - “No but we do have DJ’s at our other bar The Onion.” if indeed you are the illusive Chris Curtis please don’t hesitate TJB - Ok great, so how does the Shallot compare to the to drop me a line, here to the Bali Advertiser, or alternatively to Onion? my direct email address tobiasjbrown@rockfan.com GW - “The Shallot is more a late night drinking bar, whereas the Onion is a sports bar and family restaurant, The Copyright © 2016 Tobias J Brown Onion has a very large stage and we are going to move You can read all past articles of Music Matters it soon and make it even bigger!” at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

BALI PEDULI - CARING FOR THE MARGINALISED There’s plenty to buy in a busy tourist destination like Bali: souvenirs, clothes, furniture - and sex. Straight, gay, slinky or kinky, it’s all here and business is booming. Casual, unprotected sex is soon over, but sexually transmitted infections (STI) are often unwelcome mementos of the encounter. Bali’s thriving sex industry is overwhelmingly domestic. In the south the scene is mostly MSM (men having sex with men). There are no baseline statistics but an educated guess places possibly thousands of sexually active men in this community. As many as half of them come from Java, Sumatra and eastern islands. As tolerance for gay people declines in much of Indonesia, these men are heading for the more permissive bars and beaches of South Bali. The most common mementos of these encounters are syphilis, gonorrhoea and HIV (Human Immuno Virus). (Men having sex with men aren’t necessarily gay, in fact often they are not gay, but there seems to be a major grey area when the hormones are running high. These men later infect their wives.)
and treatment for the Gianyar Regency with a special focus on pregnant women, families, female sex workers, MSM and injecting drug users. “The clinics are informal and friendly, so people feel comfortable and respected. There’s no judgment,” Lily told me. “We wanted to eliminate the barriers to care for people in highly at-risk communities who are dealing with discrimination, stigma and ignorance. The model is still the only one in the country to provide this service and it seems to work. Between October 2011 and January 2016 the Kuta and Denpasar clinics saw over 15,000 people, tested over 5,000 and are treating 405. Between 2013 and 2016 the Ubud clinic saw nearly 3,000 people, tested 1,500 and is treating 126.” New clients come through word of mouth between patients, or by way of Bali Peduli’s outreach team of seven young people from Bali, Java and Timor. The team members seek out people at risk and liaise with other organisations for referrals. Taking potential patients by the hand, they provide transport via motorbike or car to lab and clinic appointments.
“There’s still a lot of misunderstanding about HIV,” says Lily Wardoyo, chairperson of Yayasan Bali Peduli (Bali Cares). “HIV isn’t the same as AIDS. HIV is a chronic manageable condition, not a death sentence. With appropriate treatment, an HIV carrier can lead a long and healthy life. Left untreated, however, HIV develops into AIDS (Acquired Immune De¿ciency Syndrome) which weakens the immune system. A person with AIDS picks up infections easily and can’t ¿ght them off. With a severely compromised immune system tuberculosis, Candida and toxoplasmosis infections often end in death.” So there’s a big difference. People with HIV can work, marry and die of old age. Untreated HIV leading to AIDS has a less happy prognosis. There are also misconceptions about transmission. HIV can’t be caught in a swimming pool, by sharing utensils or through close contact such as kissing. The biggest risk is unprotected sex and sharing needles. The virus can’t survive outside the body for long; it quickly dies when exposed to air. STI rates among MSM (usually syphilis or gonorrhoea) are 90% in Kuta and these must be treated ¿rst. With drug adherence HIV treatment is very effective. Under treatment, the viral load will be suppressed which reduces the chance of transmitting the virus. So it’s very important to start ART (anti retroviral treatment) immediately. A daily pill or two is all it takes these days. In 2011 a group of concerned individuals led by Dr Steve Wignall funded and contracted a clinic in Kuta and built a laboratory to provide free testing and counselling for STIs and HIV. The clinic operates from 4 - 8pm, which means people don’t have to leave work to attend, and the blood test results are available in one hour. The Bali Peduli clinic in Kuta provides HIV services to the MSM community in the tourist areas in south Bali. This clinic has now moved to Denpasar with longer opening hours. Klinik Anggrek at Puskesmas Ubud II Sayan opened in 2013 with funding from Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset. It provides HIV/STI testing
There are about 250 female sex workers depending on the season; most of them come from other islands. The clients are usually local or mobile men who work in construction, trucking or sales. Bali has no localised red light district which is a big problem in managing disease. Outreach workers offer a mobile testing service for these women. Using condoms would substantially cut the risk of STI throughout the sex industry but this remains an unpopular option with the clients. Probably fewer than 20% of female sex workers can persuade their clients to use condoms. The number for MSM is thought to be higher. Spousal transmission is high. Clinic staff often talk to the husband separately and encourage testing, then treat the couple together to avoid conÀict. From last year all Puskesmas are required to provide HIV voluntary testing, counselling and treatment services so all pregnant women are now automatically tested for HIV. The government supplies ARV drugs, some of the testing reagents and sometimes condoms and lubricant which enables Bali Peduli to provide testing and treatment for free. Purchasing ARV over the counter would cost about Rp 1.7 juta/month. Yayasan Bali Peduli’s work requires US$ 250,000 a year. Other programs include the Positive Living program which provides support to HIV positive women with children and HIV positive children who have been orphaned. The HIV Education program gives presentations in banjars, community groups, schools and youth groups to raise awareness. Bali Peduli was recently asked to assist in Bali’s prisons, where a number of foreign inmates with HIV aren’t able to access free government treatment. The team will go into the prisons regularly to provide testing, medication and counselling.
A daily pill or two is all it takes these days. The team member becomes the client’s ‘buddy’ when a diagnosis of HIV is made, on call 24/7. He or she is on hand through the initial month-long period when side effects from the medication are most noticeable. Each team member has about 60-70 clients and the high-maintenance ones initially require a lot of attention. Dedication and compassion are high in the job description. It’s important to empower people living with HIV. They need to learn to see themselves as overcoming the disease, not as victims. So the outreach team walk a tightrope of being caring while not creating dependence. “We know this is a huge community problem, a local problem. No one organisation can solve it so we all need to work together, particularly with government. The Ministry of Health provides free ARV to Bali Peduli,” said Lily. Then there’s the male/female sex industry which takes place in informal brothels known as cafe cewek. “We try to keep track of where the girls are. With funding from Rotary we mapped all the ‘cafes’ in Gianyar Regency and found about 40. It’s a very Àuid situation as the girls move around a lot; the places close suddenly and pop up somewhere else.
We can all play a part in ending the fear and ignorance associated with HIV. Like unplanned pregnancy and menstruation, sexually transmitted infections are one of the reproductive health subjects that nobody wants to talk about. So help bring it out of the dark by talking to your staff, your neighbours, your kids. Knowledge is power - the power to make wise choices, and to reach out with compassion to those who learned too late. Visit www.balipeduli.org for more details of their excellent work.

If you’re a diehard coffee hound, ready to explore the furthest reaches of this planet for a cup of bean-bliss, pin this: Gorontalo, Indonesia. You’ll not only be treated to a wide range of rich and fragrant brews, but you’ll get a prized peek into a unique coffee culture.
throughout his jurisdictions. One of the earliest blends of coffee grown in Gorontalo – an organic mix of robusta and Liberika called Kopi Pinogu (from a remote village of the same name, locally known as “coffee country”) – goes back to 1875; it later became a favourite of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.
drop-in joint for imbibing some of the region’s best coffees. They are an integral part of daily life, central meeting places where people from all walks of life meet to discuss challenges of daily life, and to channel their views and aspirations about politics and current affairs. It is the Indonesian version of a penny university.
Even those not descended from royalty are known to swoon at the ¿rst whiff of Kopi Pinogu Tubruk, an un¿ltered coffee that leaves a thick brown sludge at the bottom of each cup.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, English coffeehouses were sometimes referred to as “penny universities,” public social places where people would meet for conversation and commerce while drinking coffee. For the price of a penny, customers purchased a cup of coffee and admission.
“Although Kopi Pinogu is available exclusively in Gorontalo,” says Niode, “the government has always tried to promote it more widely. Some thought that, as a coffee deemed a ‘rarity’, it would be easy to market across Indonesia. But the coffee production – from planting beans to cultivation - has to be standardized ¿rst.”
Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, straddles the equator from Malaysia in the west to Papua New Guinea in the east. The large island of Sulawesi - where Gorontalo is located – lies along the Wallacea transition zone between Asia and Australia; also known as a Borderline Island. Gorontalo’s provincial territory includes coastal islands, hills, rivers, a lake and an abundance of aquatic life and Àora. (The capital city is also named Gorontalo.) The remnants of three forts, built in the 15th century by Portuguese sailors to protect the island from pirates, are among the limited attractions on land. Tropical fruits – papaya, banana and mango – are abundant in Gorontalo, while its ¿eld crops comprise the basis of its flourishing economy: Corn, rice, coconuts, cocoa, candlenuts, cloves, sugarcane and coffee. With a population of slightly more than one million, Gorontalo is a mere speck on the world map – and considerably less trumpeted than Bali, the more renowned tourism magnet to its west. Divers may occasionally Ày in for an underwater coral reef odyssey, but travelers to this part of the archipelago – such as Indonesians keen to visit the ancestral land of the country’s third president - are a rarity.
Meanwhile, Gorontalo’s coffee farmers continue to harvest a wide assortment of coffee beans, with Àavors that hint of jackfruit or citrus - when different tree species are commingled. Occasionally, ingredients such as cinnamon and dried rice infuse the coffee with a unique aroma and taste – one such popular example being Kopi Goraka, made with ginger. But don’t enter a Gorontalo coffee house expecting to ¿nd a Starbucks facsimile or to be struck by its dazzling décor; these are modest eating and drinking stalls, with simple chairs and tables, that happen to serve, in cheap cups, some of the best brews around. Still, says Niode, “the reputation of a warung kopi rests on who blends the coffee.”
Most coffee house owners are also related. One example is Waroeng Kopi Balukia owned by 70-year However, thanks to the old Yusuf Otta. Three out of Otta’s ¿ve children own efforts of Amanda Katili different coffee houses in the area. Niode, an outspoken food blogger and the Kedai Kopi Maksoed is another popular coffee house. World Food Travel A family-run hangout, it’s the brainchild of Handi A s s o c i a t i o n ’ s Maksoed, who became a coffee devotee while studying A m b a s s a d o r i n at the University of Diponegoro in Semarang, Central I n d o n e s i a , w h o s e Java. “That’s where I started to hang out at coffee parents and husband houses.” The ¿rst one to make an impact on him was are from Gorontalo, this Rumah Kopi Tarik Ungaran. In conversation with the destination is beginning owner, Pak Agus, Handi learned about the origins and to make waves on the varieties of coffee. He also started to practice mixing up coffee buff’s map.

Monoarfa to the island of Ternate to sign an agreement, whereby compulsory coffee planting was introduced Gorontalo’s coffee stalls are much more than a mere
Gorontalo’s local coffee houses are similarly considered a platform for government of¿cials to discuss policies and for activists to introduce initiatives to street vendors, activists, pensioners, business people and civil servants. For the symbolic price of 1,000 rupiahs (or just a penny), people arrive from as early as 6 a.m., eating breakfast, catching up on gossip and tuning into the day’s news. Important topics are broadcast over regional radio stations, in an interactive format, inviting questions and answers from listeners all over Gorontalo. When healthcare workers wanted to disseminate information about AIDS, coffeehouses were a sure-¿re way of reaching the widest audience. Rituals surrounding coffee in the public sphere – where everyone is welcome to drink and discuss issues for as long as they like – differ than those in the private domain. And this too contrasts with attitudes in the West. Usually, when your host offers you a cup of coffee, it’s a sign that you’re invited to stay longer. But in this part of the world, there is a saying: Mamotowuli ju, wanu woluo huduhudu mai kopi lo polondulo. It means: I will leave when coffee is served. Kopi lo Polondulo is coffee offered with the subtle message that a visit or event is about to wrap up. So when you travel to Gorontalo and ¿nd yourself enjoying a meal at a local’s house, bear in mind that when they serve you coffee, that’s your sign to leave.

“The Flat Roof Society”
But now, with my recent experience, the vapours of misunderstanding dissipated and the vision of the strangely behatted agroworker (note not aggroworker - she was very polite) made very clear sense. My original theory of a leaking roof, however, still holds water. Ever since Adam made the first umbrella out of his figleaf (the only other human on the planet wasn’t bothered - she’d seen it all before anyway) man (and woman of course) has/ have known that water has a very distinct tendency to fall out of the sky and, even more distinctly, to flow downhill. We have also been aware that it is nice to avoid falling water when the sky opens and it starts raining cats, dogs and durians (especially durians) or anything else that may fall from the sky - in short we do like to keep dry when it’s peeing down don’t we? As a result we have a wonderful invention that probably came long before the wheel, we call it a “roof”. Now my father always used to say that roofs are sloping for a reason. He had a bit of a thing about flat roofs which, in Britain, were made from wooden planks covered by a layer of bitumen saturated canvas known as roofing felt. In the dark days of a British winter these roofs ended up covered in snow and, as inevitably as hangovers follow heavy drinking, such roofs always leaked. People never seemed to learn and my father, being a typical teacher, was determined to spread the word as widely as possible. In Bali these days, in spite of the Balinese request that all buildings have traditional sloping Balinese roofs, flat concrete roofs have become commonplace and, as it happens, leaks in flat concrete roofs have become almost as commonplace. Most concrete roofs follow a similar type of construction. A 10 to 15 cm thick slab of reinforced concrete with a thin 2 to 5 cm thick layer of cement on the top. This cement layer is known as a “screed” and, contrary to popular belief, its purpose is not to waterproof the roof. It is, in fact, installed to provide a smooth sloping surface so the roof will drain correctly towards the drainage points thereby avoiding water “pooling” on the roof. Flat concrete roofs as they are locally constructed have a number of issues. The first thing to note is that it is the reinforced concrete slab, not the screed, that keeps the water out. It must be correctly designed and constructed. The walls must be built strong enough to support it. It should also be cast as a single piece of concrete with no joints in it. Any joints in the concrete may be sources of future leakage. The reinforcing steel must be of the correct size and should be correctly placed. It is also very important that the concrete is correctly mixed during construction, not too much water should be added and a vibrator should be used when pouring the concrete to remove any trapped air. In addition the cement screed often causes problems. Under intense sunshine this thin layer can get very hot while the reinforced concrete of the roof beneath stays cooler. The screed expands more than the concrete and as a result the screed cracks and you will see cracks across the surface of the roof. This cracking also often results in the screed separating from the reinforced concrete beneath. So now when it rains water can penetrate the cracks in the screed and can travel across the roof between the cement screed and the reinforced concrete and will manage to find any leaks through the reinforced concrete and into the room below.
Leaks are most likely to occur through cracks in the reinforced concrete or along joints where two distinct pours of concrete have occurred during construction. The cracks or joints may have opened up as a result of earthquake, ground subsidence, building settlement or possibly flexing of the roof slab either during or after construction. It is important that the concrete of the roof is cast as a single reinforced slab. This slab forms an integral part of the building structure. The concrete or the reinforcing steel certainly should not be cut or damaged in any way as this can weaken the roof. It should be noted that if water is able to penetrate cracks in the reinforced concrete and comes into contact with steel reinforcing bars, the reinforcing bars may rust and this can cause serious problems further down the track. When steel rusts it expands and this can split the concrete apart. Obviously we need to correctly identify precisely where the roof is leaking. It may be useful to expose the roof slab from underneath by removing part of the ceiling below to more accurately identify the point of water penetration. Once found the leak must be fully sealed. This should be done from above - we wish to prevent water getting in. It is very difficult to effectively seal it from below. Attempting to seal the screed is not easy. One crack may be all that is needed to allow water to penetrate under the screeding and from there may be able to reach large areas of the roof underneath. The application of a wash of cement based sealant over the surface of the screed is unlikely to be successful and may create more problems than it solves. Cement based sealants tend to be brittle and when exposed to excessive temperature fluctuations may crack or spall off the screed.

I was reminded that the last time I had been in that area I had come across a lady farmer wearing a yellow site helmet. Now a site helmet on a farmworker is not a common sight so I had asked politely “is your roof leaking?” “Is my roof leaking?”came the assertive reply, “Are you mad? This is Bali, of course my roof is leaking.” We parted in a mutual state of bewilderment.
Correct methods and properly selected materials must be used if we wish to avoid the inevitable desire to put our head in a gas oven at some later stage.

Turning around I was gobsmacked to see a rather large durian sitting on the path exactly where I had passed a split second earlier. My mind raced through horrific thoughts of the spines of the aforementioned durian embedded in my skull and went on to consider the odds based on space and time of such a close shave. Noting my walking speed and the 40 cms between myself and the fearsome fruit, I calculated the length of time (about a gazzillionth of a metric second) that determined my fate between survival or a rather painful ongoing negative survival situation. My respect for durian trees has increased somewhat.
When repairing a leaking roof the fundamental issue is that it is the reinforced concrete that is leaking and the best approach is to remove the screed and expose the reinforced concrete so that leaks can be found and properly sealed. The screeding can then be replaced.

A membrane system may be used over the top of the screed. Rubber or plastic sheeting are usually a total disaster and should be avoided. Hot tar (bitumen) based systems have been used successfully but are not readily available in Bali. There are other waterproofing systems available that may work but most require correct application with attention paid to detail, this is of particular importance if sophisticated modern materials and techniques are to be used. At the end of the day everything depends upon the contractor having sufficient knowledge and skill to correctly find the points of water penetration and seal them effectively. So I have a flat roof that can’t be sealed, you have torn your hair out, shouted at the missus and kicked the cat, now what can I do? Well you may consider going back to basics and installing a pitched roof over the top. There are several options available from fully pitched tiled roofs to lower profile roofs using zinc alume or Onduline sheeting. In Bali there is a notable gap in the range of building contractors available. There are large professional construction companies at one end of the scale and small private builders at the other with few medium scale operators in between. The large contractors are generally very capable however, as we have said, the vast majority of small builders simply do not have the understanding or the supervisory capacity to build reliable flat concrete roofs. Are you a member of the flat roof society? It is probably best to keep it simple, respect our Balinese hosts and avoid flat concrete roofs in the first place. Traditional roofs are cheaper, more effective and well within the capabilities of local builders. They are also a lot cooler than pitched roofs which collect a lot of heat which is transferred into the house beneath. Take care and keep a weather eye out for durians.

HECTOR’S Voice of the People That 29 banjars can get together to protest the proposed corporate vandalism of Benoa Bay and the destruction of its precious mangrove environment is a political problem for the provincial government and the lesser authorities whose ¿ef is Badung regency. This protest, on Mar. 20, wasn’t authorized. It wouldn’t have been. But it was authoritative and it called in all the weight of adat (custom). It was also the second such protest: an earlier one on Feb. 28 involved the village of Benoa and its banjars. The Mar. 20 protest shut off airport access to the toll way and the traf¿c circle at the airport road intersection on Bypass Ngurah Rai. The organizers announced the event well ahead of time and apologized for the inconvenience. But most likely few people – beyond the Governor and his Benoa Bay despoiler of choice, Jakarta tycoon Tomy Winata – thought the demonstration was a bad idea. Most people think the bad idea in this instance is wrecking a fragile and precious environment in the interests of rich people getting even richer. The police were powerless. They are not a constabulary here; they are effectively a paramilitary enforcement squad. But you wouldn’t want to start a war with 29 banjars. They took away two important adat leaders for a compulsory little chat while the non-affray was in progress. A crowd that then gathered outside the police of¿ce where this enforced conversation was taking place swiftly ended the detention period. What happened on Mar. 20 was an exercise in grass roots democracy. It should provide valuable instruction for those in of¿ce. The primary lesson is that the people at all times effectively limit your power to act contrary to their wishes. There’s another lesson too. It is that while economic advance is essential, and should be welcomed, this needs to be achieved by public consensus and sensible planning, not by diktat or ¿at or droit de seigneur. (Look that last one up. It’s allegorical in this case, but it’s apt and you might get a giggle.)
Candi Break We spent Easter at Candi Dasa in East Bali, far from the madding crowd. We felt the need to stare at the ocean for four days. It’s always restless, but it sticks to its game plan and is predictable, at least in the main. The tides always come in and go out twice a day, a Circadian rhythm that for us provides a truly meditative focus from the comfort of a long chair by the pool. The discomfort of a yoga mat is for others in a more malleable state of grace. We stayed at a favourite place, Pondok Bambu, where no one knows us as anything other than those crazy old Bules who’ve been coming here for years. We hadn’t been there for a while, but neither Nusa Penida nor Lembongan had moved. They remained in full view across the shimmering Badung Strait. Away to the east, Lombok gave us a glimpse of its comely contours now and then. The offshore parking arrangements for the Bali-Lombok ferries were as interesting as ever. Waiting your turn to Ro-Ro at the wharf at Padang Bai a few kilometres down the coast can sometimes be longer than the crossing. And Pondok Bambu’s breakfast pancakes, enjoyed under the umbrellas by the low wall just above the water, were as tasty as always too. If you have hang around all Easter, it’s a pretty good spot to do so.
Switch Off It was Earth Hour on Mar. 19, that annual observance through which, by switching off the lights for 60 minutes, we are encouraged to believe that we are saving the planet, or at least that we are helping to do so. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of tokenism. No, really. It’s what the world seems to live on these days. PLN, the national power utility, joined the chorus. It said Earth Hour was a great idea and consumers of its ephemerally available current should certainly participate. They didn’t quite go so far as to call on us to be upstanding and sing Indonesia Raya at mosque-loudspeaker pitch, but you got the idea. A hollow laugh would be appropriate at this point. PLN has its own Earth Hours, somewhere, every minute, through its Well That’s a Surprise program of unannounced and inexplicable outages. We once considered, in a nightmare we vaguely recall, what we might do if we woke up and found we were running PLN. Resignation and a plea to be considered instead for a position more closely aligned with the less fanciful claims in our CV came to mind. A paperclip-counting position in some dustily remote of¿ce of government might suit.

“Once the new visa regulation is of¿cially effective, it will be publicly announced by Indonesian Embassies/Consulates.” Apparently some Australians got through immigration at Ngurah Rai International without paying US$35 as soon as the decision was announced. Even though the presidential pen had squiggled, the scrap of paper hadn’t been dug out from under the administrative overburden and no regulation yet existed. They’ll sort it out, eventually.

Putting on Weight The annual Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, a ¿xture since 2002, is breaking new ground with the collation of the UWRF’s bilingual Anthology series, which each year brings together the work of 15 emerging writers from across Indonesia. The writers themselves will launch the published anthology at the 16th festival, which runs from Oct. 26-30. Festival director Janet DeNeefe tells us that this year UWRF has the largest number of submissions so far, with 894 aspiring writers from throughout Indonesia sending in stories for consideration. Submissions go to an independent curatorial board for selection. In another move to widen its reach, the festival is collaborating with the Australasian Association of Writing Programs to select an aspiring writer to attend UWRF 2016. Submissions close at the end of May.

A Vital ROLE The innovative travel out¿t Destination Asia has been a supporter of the ROLE Foundation’s Bali WISE Women’s Skills Education program for more than a year now and have signed up to continue this support throughout 2016 as well. That’s great news for all the women who have taken the opportunity to be part of the Bali WISE program. It highlights the bene¿ts of corporate community support, delivered at a practical level, directly to the advantage of people who would otherwise remain truly disadvantaged. ROLE founder Mike O’Leary tells us all Bali WISE students go through a six-month intensive school program. This is split into two parts: Three months are spent at ROLE’s Nusa Dua campus to learn English, women’s health, family planning, IT, and business skills. The next three months are spent at hotels for in-¿eld hospitality training. Students’ education, accommodation and transport costs are covered throughout the six months of education. C/BM/M-23 Dec. 15
Destination Asia started business in 1996 as the ¿rst destination management company to specialize in Indochina operations and the ¿rst Asia based travel business owned by its employees. Its network now spans 11 countries including Indonesia. It runs on the old fashioned concept of a family business, without outside shareholders or directors, or equity relationships with international travel conglomerates.
So that’s a Woof, then Bali’s most talkative recluse, Vyt Karazija, was some time ago adopted by an itinerant Bali dog, a feisty little fellow whose name is Lucky. Those of us lucky enough to be on Vyt’s mailing list have ever since enjoyed the Tales of Lucky. A recent post on canine affairs particularly caught our eye.Karazija wrote: “Last night, Lucky was instructed by one of the people he owns to report to my place for his morning medication. ‘What time?’ he asked. ‘10am,’ he said. This morning, precisely at 10am, Lucky reported at my front door. Amazing dog.”

C/CE/G-2 Sept. 15
Question: My boyfriend of two and a half years and I recently signed a contract on a lovely rental home, and it was unanimously agreed that my Mum and little brother would come and spend a week with us. I decorated the place and bought lots of food, but as soon as everybody arrived, they started complaining: our kettle doesn’t boil fast enough, the bathroom door doesn’t close tightly, they wanted this, we lacked that, etc., etc., Then, one morning, I casually mentioned to my mother that my boyfriend and I will mostly likely eventually get married. My Mum started lecturing me about always needing to have an element of doubt in a proposal; that “he should consider it an honor for you to marry him, not due course.”
and the situation is - or is about to become - abusive. Third, let’s talk about maturity and narcissism. Your mom has decided to take an issue that is not about her (how you and your boyfriend will decide to get married) and make it all about her. Obviously, it is impossible and unethical to diagnose someone’s mental condition via a third-person email, but I want to direct you toward the book, Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers by Dr. Karyl McBride. It is apt to be extremely enlightening and useful in navigating your relationship with your mother as a lot of the behaviors you describe are listed in the subject inventory in this book.
Apart from anything else, she has been married 3 times and has never been in a relationship for more than 4 years. I got angry and pointed out that “marry now, get to know each other later” hadn’t worked for her, and that I enjoyed the fact that my boyfriend and I aren’t afraid of talking about the future.
Someone who comes into your space as a guest and begins a constant barrage of complaining and criticism, who thinks that manners don’t apply to them, who screams at you and takes your rational, normal, autonomous, adult decisions as an excuse to throw a tantrum and kick you out of her life is completely out of line. There is a huge red light behind all of this flashing the signal: “NOT OKAY! NOT OKAY! NOT OKAY!”
She flipped, stormed out, and sat outside for nearly 5 hours. Even after I went out and apologized, she said she hated being in the same building as I and refused to come in. When she finally came in, she screamed at me and my boyfriend again, saying she was disgusted and disappointed with the two of us.
Granted, it must be sad and extremely difficult to think about being totally cut off from your mother - and possibly your brother, who sounds as if he was formed in her image. It’s an amazingly big deal, and you need to give yourself a lot of self-love, forgiveness and permission to be as sad as necessary about it.
She demanded that I book her a flight home as soon as possible though there weren’t any seats available for a couple of days; so my boyfriend and I made plans to go to his parents’ house for that time. When I told her, she started yelling again, and told me I was making a huge mistake. She left a long, ranting note about how she now considers me an orphan.
She won’t, however, keep ties severed. She needs too badly your attention and the hit of drama and adrenaline that comes from being engaged in the conflict. This is exactly why you are getting those texts from your brother; he’s getting an earful and passing it on to you. Meanwhile, your window has narrowed without your having to deal with her; so you have time now to write her a lengthy letter, to dump all your feelings, and then to seal the letter and your feelings in a box for a little while; so that you and your boyfriend can enjoy the peace, quiet and love of being in your new, awesome place.
Since then, I have received several text messages from my little brother telling me off for “upsetting Mum” and “locking her out of the house,” which I definitely did not do. When she’s good, she’s great; but when she’s bad, she’s unbearable. My boyfriend, who comes from a stable family, wants nothing to do with her ever again. The problem is he and she are my only family. What do I do? Dr. ZZ: I’m sorry you’re going through this. You sound like a fairly level-headed individual, and there are many layers of inappropriateness here. First, even if your mom had a great track record with marriage, she is wrong about how getting married should happen and definitely out of step about that for you in this instance. Second, to be a guest in someone’s home and to continually complain and nitpick is downright rude. To scream at fellow adults is a giant red flag that there is a basic lack of respect

I’m a big fan of believing people when they break up with you, and of taking folks at their word. Your best strategy here is to get on with your life, which is what you did when you removed yourself to your boyfriend’s parents’ house and surrounded yourself with people who don’t scream at you. Those instincts for what is reasonable, and for how to take care of yourself, are in great working order. If you have or can get access to a therapist, now may be a good time for that. If nothing else, trust that this too shall pass.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch
Being the Bule Ogoh-Ogoh Judge - a Monstrous Honour Just before Nyepi, I was humbled to be asked to be the sole judge of an Ogoh-ogoh festival held in front of the Hyatt hotel in Sanur. Hosted by Banjar Semawang with their team of young volunteers in fancy blue t-shirts, brimming and grinning with local pride, this new festival held on Nyepi Eve involved five banjars from the south Sanur area with a total of 28 ogoh-ogoh. The reason, they told me, that they chose a ‘bule’ to be the judge was that they needed someone who was not Balinese, therefore more objective. Having researched the history of the effigies in Leonard Lueras’s monster-size, coffee-table photo gallery book on ogoh-ogoh over the past three or so decades, I had at least a fair idea of what I should be looking for as a judge. Being Bali’s token bule gamelan geek also boosted my credentials to critique the musical accompaniment. Nonetheless, as sole judge and a foreigner to boot, I was a little apprehensive at first, with imaginary scenes of angry retribution by the banjars that didn’t get first prize firing around in my head. Of course this was just somewhere deep, deep in my head where the synapses weren’t connecting properly. This was just a festival (with tourists as the target audience) and not a competition after all. I was instructed to judge the ogoh-ogoh on a number of factors: their physical construction, anatomy, colouring technique and tidiness; as well as the performance itself including the accompanying music. In typical tolerant Balinese style, my two sons were welcome to join me in the elevated jury post, giving them the most fantastic in-yer-face view of the effigies as they were danced in front of us. Judging aside, this was the first locally organized festival I’ve been part of where everything started on time, used modern technology (a drone filmed the whole thing, dodging between the swaying ogoh-ogoh), demonstrated concern for the environment (announcements made about trash disposal and few people seen chucking stuff on the road and sidewalks), and felt safe (road blocked to vehicles and a lot of local security (pecalang) deployed. Impressively, the night was a thoroughly well-organised affair and a credit to Kadek Meranggi and his Banjar Semawang team who have even bigger and better plans for next 2017, which are already in the pipeline. If you didn’t this year around, make sure you catch next year’s festival. Copyright © Kulture Kid 2016 You can read all past articles of Kulture Kid at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

Lies, Loss and Longing by Putu Oka Sukanta In Lies, Loss and Longing, Putu Oka Sukanta is one of only a handful of Balinese literary ¿gures to address the tumultuous events following the September 1965 coup in Indonesia, despite the fact that up to 80,000 people were murdered on Bali alone. Sukanta is eloquently disciplined on the subject, taking the reader quietly inside the everyday lives and labors of his characters who either directly experienced or witnessed the killings. As the survivors struggle to put what they saw and felt into words, Sukanta gives them and us insight into their losses, their pain, their fear. One of the great strengths of his writing is that it avoids the kind of bombastic sloganeering and uncritical sentimentality that characterizes a fair amount of literary commentary on the events of 1965-66. Each of the narratives begin uneventfully enough, but by the middle of the story a victim is targeted and soon killed or imprisoned. The taut, economical prose propels one to read on to learn what brought the character to his or her tragic, bittersweet or unbearably sad fate. The scenes described are so realistically depicted that it’s like reading an astutely observant journalist or independent eyewitness to the personalities and events of those dark times. Opposing the government was enough to make a person an enemy of the state. Lists were made of names of people who should die. Anyone could name other people who should be killed. There was no way of stopping it. A lot of people took action of their own accord. Some committed rapes. Young kids who didn’t know their backgrounds were killing old heroes of the 1945-50 war of independence. In this uncontrolled time of chaos, as many as 15 people were killed in one small village. Sukanta’s stories, each infused with a mounting palpable terror, are but literary counterparts of ¿lmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer’s chilling Act of Killing (2012) and The Look of Silence (2015) and are just as powerful. Imminent death or long imprisonment always seems to be lurking nearby. Like those extraordinary documentaries, the chain of events leading up to each character’s inevitable reckoning are ¿lled with a sense of foreboding and menace. There are also many parallels between Sukanta’s short stories and the works of Indonesia’s foremost man of letters Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Sukanta delves just as deeply into ordinary human suffering, using his keen eye for mundane everyday life to expose unlikely and sometimes cruel contradictions. Like Toer, Sukanta was also incarcerated for 10 years during which he suffered torture and brutal deprivation. Not all the stories are about the Indonesian holocaust. Some portray challenges faced by women and LGBT or nostalgically pine for a traditional Bali in danger of touristic overdevelopment. While many Balinese have produced highly critical works, Sukanta’s perspective is more penetrating, recognizing the inequalities that are inherent in Balinese culture that strengthens a hierarchical caste system and justi¿es the oppression of women, the poor and those who would speak out. As soon as the lower social classes have anything to do with the bureaucracy, they immediately become second-class citizens. These realities exist in Bali today. Putu Oka Sukanta was born into a low-caste Balinese family in Singaraja in 1939. In the early 1960s, after university studies in Yogyakarta, he moved to Jakarta where he taught high school and began to mix with leftist artists and writers. Sukanta never formally joined the Indonesian Communist Party but in 1965, when Suharto wrested control of the country, he found himself targeted by the military. Although he escaped with his life, he was detained without trial from 1966 until 1976. In prison Sukanta composed recollections in his head when guards denied him pen and paper.
Translated by an illustrious group of seven Indonesianist scholars, the stories in this collection were ¿rst published in Indonesian from 1964 to 2012 in literary magazines.

Remarkably, the Àuidity and vividness of the translations remain consistent throughout. Some vignettes are heartbreaking - a man allowed to say goodbye to his wife and child before his execution; an old man relating how he was made to witness the execution of his friends; Balinese dancers waiting for recognition and redress for wrongs; a farmer cursing at the wind. “Storm Clouds over the Island of Paradise” is a woeful tale of a young, high-caste Balinese woman who falls in love with a commoner. “Pan Blayag” tells of a dokar driver who hopes an asphalt road will change his life, cleverly revealing the wild promises and bitter disappointments of New Order development strategies of the privileged elite that left ordinary Indonesians behind during the 32 years of Suharto’s iron rule. In “Luh Galuh”, a Balinese woman is widowed by the 1965 violence, then left impoverished and neglected by her family when the gleaming machines of the so-called Green Revolution replace her work in the rice ¿elds. “Bridge of Light” is narrated from the perspective of a former political prisoner who visits Jakarta’s Museum of Communist Treachery. At this Suharto-era monument’s “triumph” over communism, the protagonist meets a woman who, it turns out, is the daughter of a military general revered as a national hero for his alleged martyrdom at the hands of communists. Sutanta’s spare and chilling prose style is at its best when he describes almost matter-of-factly in “Wounded Longing” the carnage and the intimidation that continues long after the time of slaughter. A man – perhaps the author – is unable to return to his own village because he is still on a list, even long after the bloodlettings. “He Wept in Front of the TV” is a melancholy story of an old revolutionary reminiscing about his brave young battle¿eld comrades who died fighting the Dutch. The innocent sounding “The Letter of Invitation’ begins with the arrest of a man in his own home in the presence of his wife and baby. The duplicitous guest bears a letter that can only have one aim – his execution.

In “Nita,” another rueful tale about the downtrodden, we meet a transgender prostitute with a woman’s soul but a man’s body who is made a shameful scapegoat for HIV and AIDS. The narrator in “Home” dreams of being in prison, hunted by security forces and performing the joged dance before an audience of faces bearing the likenesses of those killed in the great savagery of 1965. This writer refuses to mythologize Indonesia’s past. Sukanta’s 12 short stories reenact his diverse personal experiences as well those of other blameless survivors of the violence across several islands. The inevitable conclusion he draws is that Indonesians across every political persuasion have been victims of a violent deceit. Each story in its own way evokes longings for justice denied and yearnings for reconnection across vast political gulfs so that recognition of what really happened over 50 years ago can ¿nally be acknowledged. Lies, Loss and Longing by Putu Oka Sukanta, Lontar 2014, ISBN 978-602-914-4314, 114 pages, dimensions 16.3 cm x 21.5 cm.

dreams, ¿nd their own blogging niche or unique topic, and be able to earn a living this way. On his site, Rowse has a tab labeled “Making Money.” Under this tab, he shares links to past blogs with subjects such as how to make money both directly (the blog itself) or indirectly (marketing other resources or books) from your blog. He has past blog posts about how other bloggers use their blogs to earn money, and a now-classic post he wrote in which he broke down the source of his earnings from his blogging: advertising, af¿liate programs, the ProBlogger job
If you are at all familiar with the blogging world, chances

are good you have heard of ProBlogger. This is the site and business of Melbourne-based Darren Rowse.
raphy-School.com (photography tips); and TwiTip (a blog Rowse has branched out in recent years, offering e-books dedicated to sharing tips for using Twitter). and digital guides to how to blog and how to blog better and During his ¿rst year of blogging, Rowse had three other jobs, more pro¿tably. He sells six e-books on his ProBlogger and was also studying part-time. He initially characterized his website: 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, ProBloggers Guide blogging as a ‘hobby’ as it earned very little income and he to Your First Week of Blogging, Blogging for Your Business, did it primarily as a writing outlet for personal expression. The Blogger’s Guide to Online Marketing, The Copywriting Three years after he started, in 2005, he was able to quit his Scorecard for Bloggers, Blog Wise: How to Do More with Less. He is a sought-after keynote speaker who has spoken other jobs and make a full-time living from blogging. around the world at events like South-by-South West, World Rowse cautions people that while he earns a very good living Domination Summit, New Media Expo, Social Media Week, now, blogging is not a ‘get-rich-quick’ scheme and that it takes Social Media Expo and many others.
Darren is the co-author (with fellow blogger Chris Garrett) of a companion book to his popular site called ProBlogging: Secrets to Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income. Rowse describes the book as ‘a practical guide to creating and marketing a blog with the potential for generating a six-¿gure income.’ He said his hope in writing the book was that he could “help [increase] the number of people making a living from blogging even further.” Rowse is also the co-founder of the b5media blog network and speaks regularly on blogging and social media. His blogs are read by over 4 million people a month. With ProBlogger, Rowse has established the sort of blogging advice and support site that he wishes had been available when he started blogging in 2002. The primary focus of his blog is to help other bloggers increase their income streams and make a good living from blogging, as Rowse has been able to do. On ProBlogger, Rowse advises on everything from how to create attractive landing pages (the front page of your blog where people ¿rst land) to how to monetize your blog (that is, earn money from blogging) to how to collect and understand statistics on your blog so you can grow your audience, and your income. According to Rowse, “there is a growing number of bloggers earning full-time living from blogging and even more that supplement their income on a part-time basis.” In 2002, Rowse ‘stumbled upon an article about ‘blogging’. I didn’t
hard work over a period of years to start earning good money. He stresses a number of vital points about blogging: 1. Blogging for an income takes time – Rowse says that it took him a year and a half to even reach a point where he could label his blogging a part-time job, instead of a hobby, and earn a part-time income, and another year after that before he could become a full time blogger and quit his other jobs. 2. Have other income sources when you start blogging – Rowse says that you can’t rely on blogging income when you are ¿rst starting out, unless you’re very lucky or hit on a lucrative niche market. You need to have other sources of income. Rowse said as blogging started to earn more and more income for him, he was able to slowly increase the time he spent blogging and spend less time doing other jobs, until ¿nally, he was able to quit his other work and concentrate full-time on blogging. 3. Hard Work and Discipline – Rowse said that his success came because he was focused and disciplined about blogging, setting a schedule and sticking to it, and ensuring that he posted regular updates on his blogs. In the beginning, he could spend as much as 12 hours at a stretch online, making as many as 50 blog posts a day on his various blogs. Rowse said he ‘worked hard at being disciplined and working hard’ and it is this discipline that has made him a successful blogger. Rowse now only

Rowse speaks on a range of topics including topics relevant to helping bloggers improve their blogs, helping brands to understand the blogging and social media landscape, on topics of entrepreneurship, self improvement, philanthropy and much more. Rowse runs Australia’s leading blogging conference - the ProBlogger Training Event - an annual event for over 500 Australian bloggers - and the Blog Mastermind Blog Mentoring Program, where he individually coaches and mentors bloggers to either start or expand and monetize their blogging. His b5media blogging network is growing and now includes over 300 blogs by other people. Rowse recently obtained $2M in venture capital for the project, which has become one of the largest blog networks on the web. He also runs a job board for bloggers looking for freelance work and companies seeking bloggers. Rowse won’t reveal exactly how much he earns these days from blogging, but says that it is well over six ¿gures (in Australian dollars). In 2015, after fans had urged him for several years to do so, he launched a podcast. The podcast features guest interviews with well-known bloggers as well as a changing list of blogging topics.

“Locavore is our brother in arms from a food perspective,” says Wanaprasta’s founder, Jon Leonard. “They are absolutely committed to working with nature-based farmers, and were one of the first retailers in Bali to recognise the importance of ethical farming. This has taken quite a hammering in recent years, as industrial food has really taken over. But there are still pockets of hope and people like Locavore’s Ray Adriansyah and Eelke Plasmeijer are beacons for the future.”
BRINGING HOME THE BACON Under the watchful eye of team leader, and local Ubudian, Tri Sutrisna, Wanaprasta has grown from humble beginnings six years ago to now recruiting and training more than 20 farmers. From up-skilling farmers in sustainable, ethical and organic meat and dairy farming practices, to experimenting with durian-Àavoured cheese, Wanaprasta blends traditional Balinese agricultural practice with the ‘whole-farm’ philosophy, which has been gaining global momentum in recent years.
In the lead up to this year’s Ubud Food Festival (May 27-29), the Bali Advertiser will be showcasing the people, places and products at heart of the Festival. In today’s article, Holly Reid checks in with Wanaprasta, an Ubud-based farming cooperative helping to promote ethical food practice across the island who, in partnership with Locavore, will be bringing the bacon to this year’s event. Casting your eye over Ubud’s culinary scene, words like ‘organic’, ‘ethical’ and ‘sustainable’ are regular features on blackboards and menus. The village undoubtedly has a reputation for clean, socially-responsible eating, which is the central premise behind Wanaprasta, an Ubud-based cooperative working with farmers to enhance the natural relationship between farmers and their produce.
It’s in this vein that the cooperative formed a partnership with leading Ubud-based restaurant, Locavore, which recently earned a spot in Asia’s 50 Best, as awarded by Fine Dining Lovers. Adopting a ‘snout-to-tail’ approach, the restaurant is committed to working with local farmers and produce in ways that support the ongoing viability of the agricultural industry.
As part of this year’s Ubud Food Festival, Locavore will be hosting a special lunch in partnership with Wanaprasta, called ‘Bring Home The Bacon’. Featuring the Bangkal Hitam Bali Babi, a pig brought back from the edge of extinction through a Wanaprasta initiative, the event will highlight the importance of not just ethical farming, but of working with local producers to strengthen market linkages. The need for this was evident a few years ago, when Leonard received a call from culinary superstar – and one of the driving forces behind the ethical food movement – Jamie Oliver. Looking to establish a restaurant in Seminyak, Oliver’s team were on a scouting mission to ¿nd naturebased farmers who could supply their Southeast Asian restaurants. “They sent a team out to inspect our operation and within two days had recognised us as the best example of farm production they had seen in Asia,” explains Leonard. “Unfortunately, we were unable to supply them as their weekly order was far beyond what we could achieve without a major expansion in our operations! It does highlight, however, the potential of this industry and the need for more suppliers who are committed to ethical farming production.” Tickets to the Ubud Food Festival will go on sale in mid-April. Visit the website at www.ubudfoodfestival. com to ¿nd out more.

BA Feature Article Your Computer’s Enemy Number One Is………. Living in Bali and using a computer provides us with many unique problems. Yes, our internet connection is slow and expensive compared to other areas of the world. (But it is getting better.) Yes, sometimes computer parts are dif¿cult to ¿nd here and, yes, even ¿nding an expert to solve those computer problems, viruses, etc. can be dif¿cult to ¿nd. But the worse problem that is very unique to Bali is the combination of heat and humidity here. Both of these environmental conditions can cause so many different problems that sometimes they are dif¿cult to uncover or even solve. So today I hope to give you some information and solutions to these problems in terms of heat and humidity. What we will discuss is important no matter if you have a ‘desktop’ or a laptop computer; a PC or a Mac. Signs of Overheating - And What to Do E l e c t r o n i c components in your computer and other devices generate heat. The harder they work, the more heat they generate. For instance, if you use your browser and have many tabs open, it will generate more heat than if you just have one or two tabs open. The more applications you run the more your CPU has to work and this generates heat. Heat is the mortal enemy of all things electronic. So it’s important to be alert to temperature spikes in your computer, and take steps to cool it down when necessary. How can you tell if your computer is overheating, and what can you do to keep it from frying like an egg? Sudden, inexplicable shutdowns of your computer are often due to overheating. Other symptoms of overheating include declining performance after running processor-intensive tasks for several minutes or hours. Games may run sluggishly, video may skip, and response to mouse clicks or movement may be delayed. More alarming are sudden software crashes, random reboots, and the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. These symptoms may have multiple causes, but overheating is one suspect that needs to be con¿rmed or eliminated. The computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) detects when the CPU, motherboard, hard drive, or graphics adapter are approaching its maximum operating temperature and shuts things down to avoid damaging that vital and expensive part. If you are experiencing shutdowns, measure your computer’s temperatures and do something to lower them immediately. Temperature sensors are built into many computer components; the trick is accessing these sensors to read temperatures. Unfortunately, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X do not have built-in utilities to let users read temperatures. You have to ¿nd third-party software. Fortunately, there are several free temperature-monitoring utilities. Some can not only monitor temperatures but also do something to lower them.
I have been using SpeedFAN (http://www.almico.com/ sfdownload.php) for a long time. It also is a long-standing favorite temperature monitoring utility for many folks. It monitors voltages in various devices and the speed of the fan(s) which cool your CPU, power supply, and other components. Some motherboards allow users to control fan
SpeedFan will do it automatically to optimize the fan’s cooling. Another tool to display temperature readings is Speccy (https://www.piriform.com/speccy). In addition to display temperatures, Speccy also gives you detailed information on every hardware component inside your Windows computer.
the heat sink (which draws heat away) is not good. You can remove the heat sink and reapply thermal grease, but that’s beyond the scope of this article. You can ¿nd YouTube tutorials on how to do that or take your computer to your local service center. Signs of Too Much Humidity - And What to Do
Open Hardware Monitor (http://openhardwaremonitor.org/) is a free system monitoring program for Windows and Linux computers. It monitors all of the voltage, temperature, fan speeds and other sensors built into your motherboard, including CPU temperature. Hardware Monitor (http://www.bresink.com/osx/ HardwareMonitor.html) is a similar utility for Mac computers. It’s part of a suite of Mac monitoring utilities written by Marcel Bresink, and it’s available on a free trial basis. If you like the software and want to keep it, you can purchase it for under USD$10. CoreTemp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/) is designed for Intel and AMD multi-core CPUs. It can monitor the temperature in each core in each processor in your system. It also has a logging feature to record temperatures over variable periods of time. If you use a fanspeed controller like one of these, it will provide several benefits. First, it will keep the temperature of your CPU and other components under the critical level, protecting your hardware and preventing shutdowns. Second, it will extend the life of your fan by running it only when it’s really needed. Third, it will minimize that irritating noise than cooling fans can often make.
As we all know, here in Bali we have high humidity. (Is that why I’m sweating all the time?) And electronic parts HATE high humidity. It can cause all kinds or trouble. You wouldn’t spill water into your computer or laptop and not expect some dire consequences, right? It also goes for humidity in general. The major sign of humidity causing your computer a problem would be when it doesn’t boot. Too much humidly usually happens when 1) you have your computer off at night, 2) it rains, and 3) you turn your computer on in the morning. Condensation is when the moisture in the air is changed into water. So the humidity can cause condensation inside your computer. This can lead to short circuits, components failing, or ultimately your entire computer crashing. Solutions to High Humidity Problems
Other Overheating Solutions
The cheap solution to try ¿rst is to look inside your computer and check for dust! The combination of too much dust and high humidity can lead to short circuits and static discharges. So either take it in to your favorite service center and have them clean it out for you; or you can try it yourself IF you have one of those ‘cans of air’ you may ¿nd at RTC in Denpasar or order from Amazon. Use it to ‘blow out the dust!
A good rule of thumb is to make sure your CPU temperature is under 70 degrees Celsius.
However, the best solution is to maintain a constant temperature and level of humidity around your computer.
If adjusting the fan speed doesn’t bring the problem under control, there are several other possible causes for overheating. Dust is a common cause of overheating. You can buy cans of compressed air at RTC to clean the dust out of heat sinks, fans and airÀow vents. Crack open the system unit every few months and you’ll be surprised at how much dust accumulates there, and how it affects your system temperatures.
One way to do this is to use air conditioning. AC will keep your room’s temperature fairly constant. It also can eliminate condensation caused by high humidity and changing temperatures.
Adequate air Àow is very important. A tower system should be placed so that its vents are not blocked by a desk, a wall, or any other obstruction. A laptop can be elevated on a cooling pad to allow air to circulate under the machine. (In addition to cooling the laptop, this can keep human “components” from overheating as well, if you’re actually using it on your lap.)
One ¿nal thing to be careful of is taking your computer from an AC area to a nonAC area or viceversa. It is advisable to avoid brusque changes in temperature and wait for your equipment to adapt to their new conditions before switching them on. Relative humidity levels between 45% and 60% are best for computing environments. So if you use your laptop in an air conditioned of¿ce and then must go to a client’s site, see if there is AC there. If not wait a short while until the laptop can adjust to the new temperature. THEN turn it on.
It’s possible that the fans themselves may need to be replaced. If a fan is noisy, that’s a sign that it’s not working properly. Some components have built-in fans that can fail. This recently happened to the graphics adapter on my desktop machine. My computer was shutting down unexpectedly, and SpeedFan revealed that the temperature of that component was hitting 120 Celsius (about 250 degrees Fahrenheit). After opening the system unit case, I saw that the fan attached to the graphics card wasn’t spinning. As a temporary workaround, I left the case open and cooled things down with a small clip-on electric fan, until I was able to replace the graphics card.
Another way is to purchase a dehumidi¿er and install it near your computer. Dehumidi¿ers simply take a lot of the water out of the air.
A Final Word The key word is consistency! You want your PC to be at the same temperature and humidity all the time. So use a dehumidi¿er or AC to help you do this, and periodically check for dust buildup. Good luck and may your PC or laptop serve you well!

Restaurant Review
By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com
Dining in the Green! The day begins early at Maya Ubud, which is one of B a l i ’s g r e e n e s t resorts; grass, trees and verdant valley across the river, nature time. Their main restaurant, Maya Sari, offers one of the few buffet breakfasts served in Ubud and that attracts quite a few non-hotel guests as it makes an excellent start to the day for local expats, particularly when they are entertaining overseas guests. It has also become a popular place for a healthy lunch as current Australian Executive Chef Kath Townsend has created a vegetarian menu that is not just healthy but also very interesting. I can think of no better way to begin than with Kath’s Vegetarian Platter of Vietnamese rice paper rolls, banana blossom salad with tamarind dressing, Indonesian spring rolls, nori assortment with vegetable and pickles, wafers of kaffir scented tempeh tempura, and soft pea and vegetables curry puffs with chilli glaze and a sauce of the same on the side. Other vegetarian options that combine healthy ingredients with great taste include a Carpaccio of water melon, goat cheese, candied walnuts and a salad of blood orange and basil. A Lebanese style Chick Pea Puree is combined with sun dried tomatoes, olives and grilled peppers. For a main the Martabak is great! This version is stuffed with mushroom, leek, onion and egg, served with a tomato compote and curry sauce. A pasta with a difference is the Roast Pumpkin and Pear Agnolotti with spinach, toasted hazelnut & sage dressing. The non-veg menu is just as interesting. Lunch time is salad time for some. Here it can be a classic Nicoise or an Angus Beef Salad done Asian style with spicy papaya and vegetables, lemon basil and crushed peanuts. The Mediterranean Platter [for two people] is a perfect choice; marinated mixed olives, labneh, hummus, parma ham with melon, octopus salad, grilled vegetables, all eaten with crusty rye and flatbread. Sandwiches [Finger, Ciabatta Club or a couple of interesting Panino – vegetarian with black olive tapenade and roasted vegetables or with grilled chicken, smoked eggplant, rocket and chilli jam], Burgers [chicken or beef but both are with avocado, cheese, bacon and tomato] and Pizzas [5 basic but add your own selection of extras] as you would expect in a hotel restaurant that must cater for all tastes. The Indonesian options are also worth a thought; Mie Kuah [what
a westerner might call a chicken noodle soup], Bihun Goreng, fried rice noodles with chicken and two excellent sampling menus both of which feature local seafood. Some of the aforementioned dishes are also available on the evening dinner menu as well as a few more exotic options. Soups can be a Green Cucumber Gazpacho, with vegetable sticks and olive oil croutons or their French Shallot Soup which arrives as a sea scallop & basil carpaccio with truffle oil in the base of a soup bowl. At the table a thick creamy soup is added. There is a Salad of Fennel & Orange with rocket, olives, citrus labneh and local mandarin sea salt, Sashimi Grade Yellow Fin Tuna which is served with five different accompaniments, the Bresaola [thin slices of Italian air-dried salted beef] with Manchego shavings is also with rocket, almond and mango salad and a sherry vinegar dressing whilst the Zucchini Flowers, organically grown and tossed with whipped herbed chevre and truffled mango blossom honey, are perhaps one of the most popular dishes on this healthy menu. The Spanish Style Garlic Prawns are cooked with white wine & chili and served with crusty bread & salsa picada. Seafood can be a Fillet of Reef Fish [pictured], and quite a large portion unlike the ‘fingers’ often served elsewhere, is oven roasted, served with a potato and asparagus mousseline, fresh asparagus, sauteed mushrooms and an orange beurre blanc, whilst the Sole is grilled and comes with garlic and caper butter with steamed asparagus.

The Angus Sirloin is flame grilled, served on a lemony mash with charred artichokes & asparagus, and kalamata chimichurri. The very special Honey-dukkah Glazed Australian Rack of Lamb, is with rocket, tabouleh, spiced lamb filo cigars, eggplant, labneh and sumac jus. An excellent Seafood Grill consists of grilled snapper, prawns, scallops, squid & scampi, with spicy saffron aioli. Turning back the clock to a favourite dish of a few years ago is a Tournedos Rossini. A high quality grain fed Angus beef fillet is sitting on potato sauté, topped with foie gras, white truffle butter and wild mushroom jus. Spoil yourself! Whilst the dessert menu combines the best of international and Asian cuisines it is the incredible sorbets and gelatos that stand out most. Only fresh local fruits are used with zero additives other than the spices of Indonesia such as vanilla, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. The Pannacotta is scented with coconut and kaffir lime, served with poached strawberries and lychees. A Javanese Caramel Crème Brulee is with spice poached pear and pistachio macaroons. An East West special is a meringue with cinnamon and cardamom cream, tamarillo sorbet and almond praline.

Update Graze is at the street-front of the Maya Sanur, on Jln. Danau Tamblingan in Sanur. It has already established itself as one of Sanur’s best value eating places, whether inside in the cool air-con at lunchtime or dining al fresco on the covered terrace in the evening. The Maya kitchen has been experimenting with a smoking machine for many weeks now. The first product of same is Smoked Salmon, now on the menu @ Graze. Not the usual paperthin slices but sizeable chunks of salmon, quite heavily smoked, quite fantastic and worth a visit alone. However this is just a part of their new Healthy Grazers section of the menu. Other surprises include Gnudi, which I had never seen or tasted before. Gnudi is a type of Gnocchi, normally made from ricotta cheese and flour, small dumplings that finish light, fluffy and creamy, but in this case they do a gluten free version with ricotta and sweet corn, served with braised vegetables and a basil sauce, amazing! Other healthy options include Quinoa & Kale Salad with roasted beetroot, avocado, pine nuts and cherry tomatoes, tossed in salsa verde and topped with alfalfa, a great Green Tea Noodle Salad with braised shiitake mushrooms, shredded vegetables, broccoli and a tangy soya dressing. More up-market is their Grilled Reef Fish on du pay lentils and the Crisp Skin Salmon Fillet on chickpea and spinach fritter with green pumpkin seed sauce or a healthy Organic Red Rice Nasi Goreng with prawns and chicken. Just a word of warning if dining inside and you are on a diet…do not look at the cake display as you will not be able to resist, Maya has one of Bali’s best pastry chefs in their kitchen where they even prepare gluten free product. Sanur is growing up! Pizza Bagus, on Jln.Raya Pengosekan. is Ubud’s longtime favourite stopping place for a Pizza. It is moving! Not just yet but later in 2016. Now at their 3rd Ubud location, and one of Ubud’s success stories, the move to their 4th will be the final one, where a purpose built building is already under construction. The location is just 50 metres away on the same road, replacing what was once Panilli Vanilla, a place that used to be my breakfast haunt for their Brittany pancakes back in the late 90’s. Orbit is Bali’s best kept secret. Located at Luna2 which is hidden in behind The Oberoi in Jln. Sarinandi, Seminyak it is probably Bali’s no. 1 fine dining restaurant. The kitchen is presided over by executive chef Englishman Errol Defoe, the intimate dining [only 20 persons inside and a few more on the outside covered terrace] is complemented by a menu which has the attention to detail that you would only expect to find in one of the world’s finest restaurants, and a wine list to match! Their Sunday Roasts are legendary, old traditional English style. Dining here makes a special occasion even more special! Ryoshi for many years had maintained an outlet in front of the Bali Garden Hotel on Jln.
NC/R/G-30 March 16
Kartika Plaza. This was closed last year and has in effect been transferred to a new site not far away; the impressive Park 23 Entertainment Centre on Jln. Kediri, Tuban. Ryoshi is the most successful Japanese restaurant chain in Bali, beginning more than 30 years ago with the then small Seminyak site [now a large one, next door to the original]. The Sushi is prepared to order, not pre-done and refrigerated as at many other places. Now with 10 restaurants in the Ryoshi chain, and the resultant high food turnover, that most important ingredient for high quality sushi and sashimi, fresh fish, is a daily norm The new Ryoshi has had a very attractive fit-out, but still in the standard style. The menu is also their standard with an interesting range of traditional Japanese dishes. They concentrate on what they know and do well. I often enjoy the Pisang, a selection of freshly made sushi [12 pieces, but the maki roll is cut into three which makes 14 in my book]. Perfect, and at amazing value, less than $8. Chicken Teryaki or bowls of soba or udon noodles, the choices are many and varied. Quality food, and at budget prices.
Gurita Seafood is another Chinese seafood restaurant, amongst a nest of them, where Imam Bonjol becomes Jln. Raya Kuta. Their specialty is live seafood [prawns, grouper, crab, etc]. They offer the usual super large Chinese menu with many different meats and seafood done every which way! As they also offer ‘walk-in’ local Indonesian tables a discount you assume a commission figure is built in to the pricing as with so many other locally owned restaurants in Bali [a major income component for drivers and tour guides], so ask for that discount too.
Prama Sanur Beach, Jln. Danau Tamblingan, Sanur, operates a Sunday Seafood Market, from 5.00 p.m [till 9.00 p.m.] every Sunday, the cost is only Rp 200,000 [net] p.p. The menu consists of: Salad Bar: Lettuces of Romaine, Iceberg and Curly, Tomato, Cucumber, Sweet Corn, Carrots, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Green Beans, Red Onions, Red Cabbages with your choice of Thousand Island, Balsamic and French dressings. From the Grill: Seafood of Tuna, Snapper, Mahi-Mahi, Squid and Prawns. Skewers: Vegetables Skewers, Sword Fish & Onion Skewers, Prawns & Paprika Skewers. Condiments: BBQ Sauce, Tomato Ketchup, Chili Sauce, Sambal Matah, Sambal Ulek, Sambal Kecap. Accompaniments: Roasted Potatoes, Steamed Rice, Broccoli Gratin, Stir-fried Vegetables. Desserts: Assorted French Pastries and Cut Fruits. Noosa is a beach in Queensland, Australia, but it is also a restaurant in Jimbaran. It has a Japanese chef, but serves French cuisine with Asian touches, quite amazing! Located at Jln.Toya Ning, Kedonganan. The setting is as striking as the food, with sheltered table settings surrounding an ornamental pool and gardens. Ravioli stuffed with lobster is an example of the exotic eats on the ever changing menu. Seafood carpaccio, wagyu beef, foie gras; it is all here at this amazing addition to the once boring Jimbaran restaurant scene.
Warung Pama is one of those little gems that budget conscious tourists to Bali delight in discovering. It is located on Gang Ronta, which connects Jln. Poppies I and II . Simple and unpretentious the service is homely friendly, the servings large and the prices small. It offers a mix of basic local dishes [spring rolls, beef rendang, coconut milk curries] and international [burgers, chicken parmigiana and cordon bleu, pasta, fish & chips]. Maybe not for gourmets but great value for those in the area. Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com NC/Re/G-20 Jan. 16

Line the bottom of a 20 cm x 20 cm cake pan with baking paper. Butter the paper and the sides of the pan so the cake will come out easily. Set aside, Sift through a fine strainer the baking powder and cardamom. Break up any lumps of baking powder while pushing through the strainer. Set this aside. Put the softened butter and the sugar into a large bowl and using an electric mixer beat the two until you have a light and fluffy mixture. Now add one egg at a time mixing well between each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. When all the eggs are well incorporated add the polenta, sifted baking powder and cardamom, the grated orange zest and orange juice. Mix this well before adding the chopped nuts at low speed. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and put this onto a cookie sheet before putting the whole thing in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, open the oven and sprinkle the cake with the chopped almonds for garnish. Close the door again for another 20 minutes and then turn the heat down to 250 and bake for 20 minutes longer. The cake is done when it’s golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven to cool before cutting. Now make a nice cup of coffee or tea and indulge in a slice of heaven! All recipes are available on the Bali Advertiser website in both English and Indonesian versions.

Local News Australia Finally Gets Free Visa to Bali Bali appears set to overtake New Zealand as Australians’ favorite overseas holiday destination after Indonesia finally came good on a promise to remove the $50 visa entry fee. After more than a year of back flips, Indonesian President Joko Widodo signed the official decree into law adding Australia to a list of 169 countries with “visa exemptions”. But the implementation is proving a bit haphazard with some travelers reporting free entry at Ngurah Rai Airport and others still being charged the fee. Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it had been given no firm date as to when the law change would take effect. But a DFAT spokeswoman said the decision was welcome. “Australia is one of 169 countries granted visa-free visits,” said the spokeswoman. “Australian tourists will be able to take visa-free visits for up to 30-days.” A statement from the Indonesian Government said implementing procedures were yet to be finalized. “Once the regulation has been implemented at all immigration entry points, the Indonesian Consulate General in Sydney will provide further announcement,” said the statement. Other countries to win visa exempt status include Ukraine, Bangladesh, Albania, Malawi, Nepal, Paraguay, Samoa, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Countries like New Zealand, China, the UK, the US and Russia already enjoy visa-free entry to
Indonesia. Cindy Lugten of Bali.com said tourism operators were very, very pleased with the exemption.
Tourist Mugged in Ubud After Ogah-Ogah Parade Palma Perenyi, 31, from Hungary was mugged on Tuesday
“Early morning arrivals still had to pay for the visa while lucky late afternoon visitors were told to keep their money and enjoy their holiday in Bali,” said Ms Lugten. “It might take a while before it is completely implemented at the other designated airports but Bali seems to be ready.” “Almost all of the questions we received at Bali.com were related to visa requirements,” Ms Lugten said.

“Now visitors can concentrate on more fun matters and use the money to support the local businesses.” Of the 1.1 million Australians who travel to Indonesia each year, close to one million visit Bali. Previous promises to include Australia in the visa-exemption list were retracted due to political tensions over the executions of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, and then the lack of reciprocal rights for Indonesians traveling down under.

Perenyi was on foot after visiting a convenience store when two unknown men approached him. One man threatened waist bag which contained a passport, a camera (Canon power shot GX7), the USD $300 and Rp 80,000. The two men then escaped on foot. Police Chief Commissioner Ketut Widiada said that his team was still investigating the case through CCTV footage at the Post Office near the crime scene. (March 10th 2016)
Last December, Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs, Rizal Ramli, again said Australia would be added but hopes faded when President Widodo did not issue a formal decree. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop is currently in Bali, to co-chair a conference on people smuggling, trafficking and other related transnational crime. (March 23rd 2016)

Tensions are running high in Bali, with a decision due any day on a controversial land reclamation project. The battle over a controversial land reclamation project in Bali is reaching crisis point, with an official decision due any day on an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that would pave the way for the project to break ground.
impacts were felt within a 3km radius,” says Putra. “KWBI claim that their 700ha project will only affect an area 0.5km in radius. That doesn’t make sense.” KWBI also claims that the Nusa Benoa project will create 150,000 jobs, but the unemployment rate in Bali as of January 2015 was just 33,661.
weather conditions. “It’s difficult to conduct executions
On Sunday (20/3) tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered at a major roundabout close to the reclamation site. They represent a protest movement on a scale not seen in Bali for decades. The Bali Forum Against Reclamation (ForBali) unites young people, politicians, rock stars, academic and religious institutions, environmentalists and 28 villages, including all 14 in the area earmarked for reclamation.
Meanwhile, rampant development in Bali’s overcrowded south has already led to an oversupply of hotel rooms. A moratorium on new tourism developments in 2011 failed, mainly because local governors or bupati ignored it. It is ironic that the man who established the moratorium in the first place, Bali governor Made Pastika, has been a vocal supporter of the reclamation project.
the Attorney General Office (AGO) had been pressured by
The developer, Tirta Wahana Bali International (TWBI), plans to build artificial islands that would take up almost half of Benoa Bay in south Bali - an area that had enjoyed conservation status until former president Susilo Bambang Yudhyono issued a decree in 2014 shortly before leaving office, which turned it into a zone for ‘revitalization.’
With a decision on the fate of the bay imminent, protest activities have increased dramatically. Mass demonstrations have been occurring almost weekly in different parts of Bali. On Sunday, thousands of protesters gathered at a roundabout close to Benoa and last month, representatives of 18 villages in the vicinity of the proposed development flew to Jakarta to meet with Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s Chief of Staff to argue their case.

Indonesia’s Minister for Forestry & Environment, Siti Nurbaya Bakar, must now decide whether or not to approve the EIA in the face of escalating opposition. TWBI’s idea of revitalization is a $3 billion luxury resort development across four new islands, including villas and apartments, a retail district, a marina and even a cultural theme park. TWBI describes Nusa Benoa as an entirely new destination that will bring additional jobs, clear waste and cause minimal impact to the environment. Yet Benoa Bay sits in the heart of south Bali, sandwiched between the resort districts of Sanur, Kuta and Nusa Dua, where most of the island’s tourism - and wealth - is already concentrated. An increasing number of critics are calling out TWBI on a range of social, environmental and cultural issues. Ketut Sarjana Putra, Indonesia director of US environmental NGO Conservation International (CI), says the new islands would cause flooding on a massive scale. “We already have issues with flooding - that excess water eventually goes out into Benoa Bay, but what happens if the Bay’s capacity is reduced by 700ha?” he asks. According to CI modeling, the flushing capacity of the bay simply won’t be enough. This isn’t the first land reclamation project in Bali - back in 1994, then President Suharto’s sons Tommy Suharto and Bambang Trihatmojo quadrupled the size of an offshore island called Serangan for a proposed tourism development that never materialized. Instead, nearby reefs were swamped in sediment, seaweed farms destroyed and wave patterns changed. “The Serangan project reclaimed 380ha of land and the
For its part, TWBI has been running a Google advertisement, which appears when the search term ‘Tolak Reklamasi’ (Reject Reclamation) is entered - the rallying cry for the protest movement. The ad links to a new site for the Nusa Benoa project, where it is described as ‘a pioneer of sustainable, community based development, environmental conservation and tourism growth.’ There was no response to a request for comment on the project’s community and sustainability credentials. But in a statement to the local Tribun Bali newspaper, TWBI director Heru Waseso said the protests were normal in a democracy and that the decision now lay with the government, adding that a revised EIA had been submitted 30 days earlier.
during the rainy season. I’ve never said that the executions will be canceled. It’s just a matter of time,” Prasetyo said on Friday (18/3), without revealing names of convicts on death row. Prasetyo also dismissed a rumor saying that foreign countries to postpone the executions. “There’s no such thing. This is our law enforcement. We will enforce our law in our own country, and Indonesian law still applies death sentence,” Prasetyo explained. He said the AGO would stick to the execution schedule, although a human Prasetyo asking the AGO to postpone this year’s execution. Earlier, the AGO announced its target to execute 14 convicts in 2016 during the budget plan discussion with House of Representatives’ Commission III. In 2015, the AGO conducted two waves of executions: the first one on January 18, 2015 and the second one in April 29, 2015. (March 18th 2016) Dead Whale Washes Ashore on Bali Beach A 53 ft long Sperm whale was found dead on a Klungkung beach early on Monday morning (14/3) by two local fishermen who had been catching lobster. When the news spread on social media that the dead whale’s body was lying on the beach, huge crowds gathered to take pictures with some even seen climbing on the animal. Local Balinese placed offerings for the dead whale on its back
Benoa Bay is home to more than 60 natural sites that are sacred to the island’s predominantly Hindu population, as well as 24 temples, some of them located underwater. This has raised concerns within the islands powerful religious institutions and nearby communities, some of whom have even threatened a “puputan” - committing mass ritual suicide - should the project go ahead. The last pupatan took place in 1906 during the final days of Dutch rule. A dramatic threat, perhaps, but what seems sure is that if the EIA gets rubber stamped, the demonstrations will only intensify. “All the protests by the local communities show just how angry the Balinese are about this,” says ForBali coordinator Wayan ‘Gendo’ Suardana. “They won’t stop fighting until the end.” (March 22nd 2016)
while praying for the dead animals spirit. Nengah Sunatra, one of the fishermen who first spotted the whale told Sindo News: “We usually look for lobsters on this beach. We were shocked with the whale”. Police and the local authorities in Bali including the department for fisheries and marine affairs, the disaster management agency and a conservation body are forming a plan on how to remove the whale from the beach. Bali’s Natural Resource Conservation Body confirmed that the animal washed up was a Physter macrohepalus, also known as a sperm whale. (March 14th 2016)

Do you have a Bali chapter?
Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton
Lin Neumann American Chamber of Commerce Indonesia
We don’t have any “chapters” per se but we have a number of members in Bali. We would like to be more active in Bali. There are many American businesses in Bali and being more active there is at the top of our to-do list. How do you see American-Indonesian relations vis-àvis AmCham Indonesia? We like to believe we have raised the bar for advocacy and engagement with the government in recent years. We see our companies and ourselves as partners in Indonesia’s development but as such we can also be critical about policies that we think impede private sector investment. The current relationship between the US and Indonesia seems good. We think President Jokowi’s recent proinvestment pronouncements are a good sign and a healthy indication of future direction. A lot remains to be done, of course.

One of the good things about the involvement of U.S. businesses here are the lessons in good corporate governance that Indonesia can learn from American companies. Of course, there are many challenges in the Indonesian business environment, not the least being the heavy hand of regulators. We believe Indonesia will achieve great success as it follows the direction of the president to reduce regulations that hurt investors.

How does AmCham Indonesia strive to promote its member’s business interests?
Lin Neumann was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and studied international development at American University in Washington, D.C. more years ago than he cares to disclose. He has lived and traveled extensively in Asia and spent many years as a freelance journalist in the Philippines and California, covering among other events the downfall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, the democracy movement in South Korea in 1987 and the ill-fated uprising against the Burmese military in 1988. Lin ran ¿ve newspapers, two in the US and three in Asia. Most recently he was the founding editor of the Jakarta Globe from 2008-2012. He also had a live TV talk show on BeritaSatu TV from 2012 to 2013. Since October 2014, Lin has served as the Managing Director of AmCham Indonesia in Jakarta. What kind of jobs have you had? I’m not sure that I want to include my entire boring CV but I consider the best thing on my resume is the Christmas season of 1983 when I was a Santa Claus at Macy’s headquarters store in New York City. I see that you’ve worked and lived extensively in Asia. What’s the big draw? Why would you be anywhere else? It is a dynamic and interesting place, something I’ve realized ever since I ¿rst lived in the Philippines way back in 1977. I have been involved with the region closely ever since. I ¿rst visited Indonesia brieÀy in 1984 on a UN-sponsored media tour. I spent considerable time here post-1998 working on press freedom issues with the Committee to Protect Journalists. Later I did a lot of media-related work in Indonesia and East Timor. In 2008, I moved here to start the Jakarta Globe newspaper. What’s the mission of AmCham Indonesia? We aim to represent our members’ interests and be the advocate of choice for our member companies in Indonesia
We discuss, engage, network and try to be constructive. We do not claim credit for anything we might improve but we think our work is effective. We are not a business matching service or a consulting company and do not help establish business relationships. Our organization does not employ “lobbyists” in the American sense of the word. Red tape and bureaucracy are major challenges. We have been engaged continuously on many regulatory issues. This is getting better slowly but there is a long way to go. Can you give examples of what American business people investing in Indonesia should not do? Anyone living and working in Indonesia, regardless of nationality, should understand and appreciate the culture. There are ways of behaving and dealing with people here that are more formal and polite than we may be used to back home. Potential investors are well advised to learn how to get along in this business culture. You have to pick your partners carefully and do the necessary due diligence to avoid any unforeseen legal tangles. That said, it is a wonderfully friendly country and few people I know have major dif¿culties making a go of it here personally.

What memorable events has the chamber hosted lately? Our investment summit in Washington, D.C. last October was held on the same day as President Jokowi’s visit to the White House. We were delighted that Minister of Trade Tom Lembong and Communications Minister Rudiantara spoke at our event, as did the Chairman of BKPM Franky Sibarani. We also had a full slate of business people from U.S. companies. US Trade Representative Michael Froman gave the keynote address. It was a great day for us! Do chamber staff and members have fun or is it all work and no play? We have monthly social networking evenings, an annual scavenger hunt called the Big Durian Race in Jakarta and a big annual Thanksgiving Day Golf Tournament. What do you like most about your job? Being involved in the story of Indonesia’s growth and progress keeps me fascinated. I’ve learned a great deal since joining AmCham and I’m ¿nding working with the private sector to be both engaging and rewarding. It’s de¿nitely never boring.

Could Your Dog Have A Food Allergy? Allergies in dogs seem to have become more and more common over the years. If your dog has recurrent skin or ear problems then he/she could well have an allergy. Although a food allergy is thought to be non curable, the good news is that with proper diagnosis and management it can be well controlled in virtually 100% of cases – even here in Bali. What is a food allergy? A more appropriate term for a food allergy is an adverse food reaction. It is where ingestion of a certain ingredient in the diet causes itchiness anywhere on the body and recurring skin or ear infections with Malassezia yeast and bacteria. Food allergies can also cause digestive tract signs too, such as fecal mucus, blood in the stools and increased frequency of defecation. They have also been associated with increased Àatulence. The root cause of these adverse food reactions is unknown, but research points towards an increase in permeability of the gut wall, or a failure of the gut associated immune system. Bali dogs can be affected just as pedigree dog breeds can be. The age of onset can range from a few months to 12 years old. What are the ingredients that dogs are most commonly allergic to? There are 8 ingredients that are frequently responsible for adverse food reactions: 1. Beef 2. Milk 3. Eggs 4. Chicken 5. Soy 6. Wheat 7. Rice 8. Corn Many dogs will be allergic to more than one of these ingredients, and may also be allergic to things in their environment, such as pollen, certain grasses or Àeas. How can a food allergy be diagnosed? If a dog has had general itchiness that does not lessen after applying anti-parasitic spot-on or ivermectin injection, or has recurrent skin and ear infections or intermittent soft stools, it is worth investigating for a food allergy. At Sunset Vet we offer two diagnostic options. The ¿rst is a blood test to measure antibodies to various ingredients. This is quite expensive as the sample must be sent to a UK laboratory, however many owners choose this as they would like to know the precise ingredients that need to be avoided. The second option is what we call an elimination diet. The elimination diet is reliable and cheaper, but requires a highly motivated and disciplined owner in order to achieve meaningful results.
1. Home cooked food This is not generally recommended as it is time consuming for the owner and can also provide an unnatural and nutritionally unbalanced diet. However, if the dog is incredibly fussy and the owner cannot bear to force it to eat a commercial diet, the best ingredients are one of either lamb, ¿sh, duck or turkey, plus one of either rice or potatoes. In Bali we usually advise potatoes, as the increased exposure to rice here makes rice allergy more common than in the West. The two ingredients selected (the former high in protein, the latter a carbohydrate source) should be ones that the dog has preferably never eaten before. 2. A commercial, limited antigen diet If one of these diets is to be recommended, suitable ingredients would be venison, rabbit or oatmeal. Remember, we are looking for ingredients that your dog has never eaten before, so cannot possibly already be allergic to. 3. A commercial, hydrolysed protein hypoallergenic diet

These contain proteins that have been broken down to the extent that they are no longer capable of causing an allergic reaction. They are often referred to as prescription diets because they are usually purchased via a veterinarian, although they can be obtained over the counter without a prescription. They are signi¿cantly more expensive than limited antigen diets, so it is wiser to try a limited antigen diet ¿rst as if the elimination diet is successful, the dog will remain on that food for life. An example of such a dog food is Hills z/d (available from Sunset Vet in cans or biscuits). The elimination diet must be given for a minimum of 6 weeks, and possibly up to 10, in order to observe the maximum response. Owners must not give their dog ANYTHING else during the trial period, meaning no titbits, treats or vitamin supplements. For example, many owners do not realize that rawhide chews are made from cow derivatives and that with beef being one of the most common culprits in allergies, these chews could be the root of the problem. During the trial period, nothing must enter the dog’s mouth apart from the chosen diet and water.
The therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel

If the symptoms in question are intense itchiness, many vets will prescribe antihistamines or steroids during the ¿rst few weeks of the trial in order to make the dog more comfortable. If the dog gets better as the trial goes on, and the initial drugs to provide temporary comfort have worn off, then it is suggestive of a food allergy. If this occurs, the dog is then challenged with its former diet to see if the symptoms return and therefore con¿rm the diagnosis. It usually takes between 3 and 7 days for the symptoms to return after initiating the challenge. If there is a partial improvement in the dog’s condition, it is likely that the dog indeed has a food allergy but also has other allergies at the same time. The dog will then be kept on the elimination diet while other potential allergies are investigated, such as Àea-bite sensitivity and atopy. If a food allergy is con¿rmed, the owner can either continue to feed the same food given during the elimination trial inde¿nitely, or can persevere with dietary trials by introducing the 8 most common allergic ingredients (see above) one by one until it is ascertained exactly what the dog is allergic to.
What is an Elimination Diet? There are three basic elimination diet choices: Sunset Vet offers veterinary services via their Kuta (24hr) and Ubud (8am-7pm) clinics.

PUBLIC RELATIONS DIRECTOR Founded in 1991 by Australian John Fawcett, The John Fawcett Foundation { JFF } is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free professional medical services to very poor Indonesians who suffer eye afflictions. An estimated 7 million Indonesians are seriously hampered by eye problems, and 65% of them are cataract blind. JFF has assessed that 80% of all the visual impairments can be prevented or cured. And in the past 25 years, JFF has delivered free eye assessments to 1,000,000 people, and has successfully performed 45,000 free cataract surgeries. In restoring hope, happiness and better work capabilities to many impoverished Indonesians, John Fawcett has been honored by the governments of Indonesia and Australia, and by many leading dignitaries .... “I wish to express my appreciation for the tireless work of the Foundation in restoring eyesight to so many,” John Howard, former Prime Minister of Australia.....”JFF has very good skills, and has the professional team we need,” AA Puspayoga, former Vice Governor of Bali... “John and his team can perform near-miracles for very little cost,” Richard Gozney, former British Ambassador to Indonesia.... “ I give JFF my highest recommendation, “ Majell Hind, former Australian Consul-General, Bali. As a non-profit entity, JFF relies on the generosity of donors to keep it motoring. This task, and that of building more public awareness of the JFF cause, remains formidable. A highly-gifted person is sought to address these challenges. The successful candidate for the Public Relations Director position will be responsible to John Fawcett and the JFF Board for: 1. The Fund-Raising Program: to create and implement strategies that attract and sustain sufficient funds from the domestic and international public, private and government sources, to meet the on-going operational needs of JFF. 2. The Brand-Building Program : to create and implement a brand strategy to boost and sustain awareness in Indonesia and abroad of the JFF cause and its achievements.
