Support families in need in Bali with a water filter to help them save money and improve their health in this time of crisis. Social Impakt, a Bali based organisation has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support local families in need with a water filter to help them save money and improve their health. As you know, with COVID-19, most of the local people in Bali have lost their jobs and livelihoods have disappeared. There are no tourists anymore, families struggle to make ends meet and every penny saved makes a huge difference. So join the movement Social Impakt launched to give access to clean and affordable drinking water to the underprivileged families in Bali. Make a positive impact on income and health and donate, there is no small amount. Thank you for your support and please share on your social media and with your friends.

They have to ensure that students are still able to partake in

The students also receive reflection tasks. They are encouraged to do a short meditation (5 minutes) every morning and before they sleep. They learn how to observe

their breath and set good intentions for the day. The students are encouraged to help others or themselves by assisting in cooking, helping their grandma to find wood, sweeping the compound, eating healthily, or exercising. At night, the students reflect by writing in their “diary” the things they are grateful for that day and the assistance they have given to others. They also say thanks to each of their body parts because they have been working hard during the day. Stay at home lessons are giving the students the opportunity to look at their blessings, taking away the stresses that can affect them at this unusual time in their lives. When the Foundation’s education team checks their diaries, it is apparent that the students are happy because of simple things, such as helping grandma, gathering together with their families, and playing with their relatives in their compound. We can learn a lot from children and see that we can still be happy during these tough times! Our staff have also been planning a new approach to the afternoon classes – more on that later. Let’s say there is no downtime for Begawan Foundation. The Foundation relies on the support from its donors. If you are interested to assist us, please visit http://bit.ly/ helpbegawan.

GARDEN DOCTOR Sustainable and Practical: All-Terrain Bamboo Wheelchairs A Herb Is What You Make It!

We decided that we had to help him get a What is a Herb? wheelchair that would withstand the rough terrain of the village, and that’s how the idea of an all-terrain wheelchair wasstill born,” says Brad. out the answer to that question after I’m trying to figure

all these years! What defines a herb is often a topic of After numerous brainstorming sessions, the team decided conjecture, confusion and debate between that gardeners, cooks to build their prototype from materials are easy to and medicine men/women alike. Technically anything frame, edible source and repair in Indonesia. The wheelchair laminated foot rest and rear whether basket are all from a plantseat, couldbackrest, be considered a vegetable, fruits, leaves, roots, bulbs, or grains. From a biological perspective a strict definition views a herb as a herbaceous plant that has leaves and stems that run to seed and die down at the end of the growing season. Yet from a practical perspective herbs are often defined by how they are used. Generally, in culinary pursuits herbs are thought to be used as a complement to a main ingredient, as a flavour enhancer or to give aroma to a dish. Alternatively, in a medicinal sense they may be the one and only main ingredient by way of seeds, flowers, stems, roots and leaves. Living out in in the garden a herb may even be thought of as a plant that simply deters pests. Muddying the waters further herbs are often made into teas such as chamomile, ginger, peppermint etc which are technically not teas at all, but tisanes! Talk about blurred lines and grey areas. In a culinary sense it is generally accepted that herbs are primarily used to flavour food whereas a vegetable is eaten as one of the main ingredients. So the parsley in your pasta sauce would be considered a herb, yet when you use it to make tabouleh it becomes a vegetable. Dandelion root could be thought herbal in a tea, yet those same leaves in a salad then become a vegetable, and then over at my neighbour’s garden that same dandelion is considered a weed – in the end its often nothing more than a cultural difference. Some consider a tomatoe a fruit whilst others say it’s a vegetable, tomato/tomatoe… ‘Lets call the whole thing off!’

As bamboo is found in abundance in Bali and throughout Asia, a bamboo wheelchair could be easily repaired by a bamboo artisan in a village,” Brad says, adding that each wheelchair has to be custom made to fit the beneficiary’s requirements.

Up to date, Eco Living Bali and East Bali Bamboo Bikes have funded and built three bamboo wheelchairs. The first wheelchair, or the prototype, is currently on display in the Eco Living Bali shop in Kerobokan. The two other wheelchairs have been handed over to those in need. Nasrudin, who was the inspiration behind the project, received the second wheelchair, while the third wheelchair was donated to 15-year-old Nengah Macika, the son of one of the East Bali Bamboo Bikes craftsmen from Ban Village. “We have a growing list of underprivileged children and adults in Bali and Lombok who require all-terrain wheelchairs, and we are currently seeking funding to make them,” says Brad. “We are initially only targeting Bali and Lombok, however, we plan to expand to other islands soon and then hopefully the rest of Asia.”

As such, Eco Living Bali urgently requires Radishes are easy to grow in planters, pots or direct into the funding to build more wheelchairs.

The radish tops or leaves can also be added to salads and soups for their subtle peppery flavour, and nothing beats the juicy crunch of a fresh radish straight out of the garden.

Parsley is so versatile that I couldn’t have a garden without it. It’s a low maintenance herb, with many culinary uses, looks attractive in a pot and readily self-seeds so that you can have a constant supply.

Nengah Macika’s Story Macika was a healthy baby until three months of age when he developed high fever and suffered several seizures. Since then, Macika’s growth and mobility have been affected. He is also non-vocal and struggles to communicate with his family. Until 2004, when the East Bali Poverty Project established monthly parent-baby health posts in neighboring Cegi, there were no health facilities near Ben village, where Macika lives. In 2005, the East Bali Poverty Project found a volunteer professional massage therapist who trained Macika’s parents to give him daily massages, but he has shown little improvement. While Macika’s mobility remains restricted, his new all-terrain bamboo wheelchair means that he can now get around more freely. www.ecolivingbali.com https://www.eastbalipovertyproject.org https://www.eastbalibamboobikes.com By Anita Copyright © 2019 Bali Advertiser You can read all past articles of BA Feature Article at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz C/Ho/G-1 Jan. 20

The campaign caught on and a spoonful a day became common practice around the world. By the time omega-3s started to be a focus of medical research, there was already a rosy feeling around fish oil. In the early 1970s a Danish chemist heard about the low incidence of cardiovascular disease in Inuit communities and went to Greenland found that Inuit people had a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids and blood lipid levels of omega3s much higher than westerners. They also had much lower rates of coronary heart disease and from this concluded that omega-3s just might reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Further laboratory studies showed that omega-3s were involved in anti-inflammatory reactions. But while correlations abound for omega-3s and heart disease, the lack of randomised control trials (RCTs), the gold standard when it comes to research, fail to show causation.

TOKO BUKU

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Everyday Balinese By I Gusti Made Sutjaja Everyday Balinese is a concise and user-friendly guide to the Balinese language targeted to anyone who wishes to learn colloquial Balinese. There are 23 lessons (not exercises) in this course book, each with a dialog that centers around daily life. These realistic beginner conversations are a great way to learn Balinese as it is really spoken. Though tending to be a bit dry, the dialogs are easy to follow and cover realistic situations. The dialogs are presented twice in two different speech levels consisting of almost entirely different words. Depending upon whom you are talking to, separate vocabularies are used in Balinese. The first version, denoted “A,” represents the lumrah or common tongue. The second, denoted “B,” is alus or refined Balinese. There are actually six different speech levels from the highest alus singgih used to address priests and rajas down to the lowest forms, Bahasa Kasar (common languages), which includes not only lumrah but the andap and wake everyday languages used all over Bali by children, young people and for some reason by the inhabitants of northern Buleleng District. Each lesson on food, greetings, shopping, money, finding your way, etc. contains a list of words in both lumrah and alus forms, followed by their Indonesian and English translations. In these sections, you’re able to compare the different words and expressions of the two speech levels in column format. These vocabulary lists repeat and reinforce the words and expressions used in the dialogs. The most difficult part of learning Balinese are the different speech levels, even though they follow much the same grammatical rules. The differences lie in word choice. For example, there are three different words for “eat,” depending upon the circumstances and who you are addressing. In the most refined language (alus), it is ngerayun. In the second level (lumrah), it is ngajeng. In the lowest speech level, the word for “eat” is ngamah. Lumrah words are used when participants of equal social status are conversing. It reflects intimacy and informality among its users. Alus words are

associated with distance and formality among users. If you talk with a friend or sibling, you use lumrah and when you speak with someone you know but not closely, you also use lumrah. But if you talk to a priest or a high government official, you use alus to show respect. Since Westerners mostly deal with young hotel staff, warung proprietors, transport providers, villagers but not mayors, rajas, judges, etc., they should put the emphasis on mastering lumrah because it’s easier to learn, you can use it everywhere and everyone understands it. A Westerner will even be forgiven for using lumrah when addressing royalty. On the other hand, not every Balinese understands the alus speech level. The book is not without its inconsistencies that confuse alus, lumrah and other speech levels. In Lesson 4, be is referred to as a common Balinese word meaning meat (be pusih-fish; be celeng-pork; be siap-chicken, etc,). Yet in Lesson 3, the table of animal names indicates that be is a high Balinese word. In one lesson, cicing (dog) is classified as common but in another, it’s considered high Balinese; katak (frog) is listed as both alus and lumrah words but actually the more common lumrah word for frog is dongkang. In Lesson 7, paek sajan is more usual than paek pesan. Sik (one), dua (two), nem (six), pitu (seven) and sia (nine) are more widely used than a number of words for those numbers listed in the Ordinal Numbers section of the Appendices. C/E/G-22 May 19

Though Balinese is difficult to learn, if you are highly motivated and apply yourself, you are able to master at least a working knowledge of the language. The best and easiest way is to engage in conversation with Balinese with the aid of Everyday Balinese. This holistic approach of actively going into the field and learning with the people is highly effective if it’s done on a daily basis. You need only to commit to learn a minimum number of words each day, always taking note of the way to pronounce each word. For example, the words Dija? (From where?) sounds similar to Kija? (Where are you going?) but their meanings are quite distinct from each other. Not a dauntingly thick book, the page design is neat with a clean serifed typeface that’s easy to read. There are no pictures or photographs cluttering the pages. The book has a one-page pronunciation guide in the front and a handy 20-page dictionary at the end arranged alphabetically by Balinese, followed by Indonesian and English translations. For anyone who is going to spend any length of time on Bali or who is keen on really connecting with the people, Everyday Balinese is a worthwhile investment that will pay for itself time and again in the quality of your experiences.

Drips Anonymous Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against water, in fact I quite like it. But it is sneaky.

Our waterpoofing “expert” decided to put a layer of cement on top of the roof. It cracked and the roof still leaked.

We would be a bit stuffed without water wouldn’t we? For I start we would all be a bit smaller, about 90% smaller in fact. We’d be a bit dirty as well without a shower every now and then and we would certainly have dry mouths. No cups of coffee to start the day, there would be a few dive operators out of work and the beach would be rather boring. Worse the underarm deodorant industry would struggle to survive.

He then decided to put a corrugated plastic roof on top of the concrete. It was too flat, water got under it and it didn’t work.

So why is it sneaky? Well it has a way of finding every tiny hole and crack and getting to places we don’t want it. Eric knows about water. He had a bit of a problem. He is a graphic artist with rather a nice studio at his house. He called me one day. “Help” he said ”I’ve got water coming out of my light fittings and dripping on my work benches!” He went on to say that one light fitting had set on fire. What a mess! Above his benches were a series of lights fixed into a concrete ceiling. Water was dripping from most of them. In one corner black smoke marks trailed across the ceiling from a melted blob of plastic. Rather frightening. Eric’s concrete roof was flat. (Now why was it that our ancestors in their wisdom decided that roofs should be sloping, was it so they looked pretty? – I forget but I do know that the sloping roof was the third great invention after the wheel and the bottle opener). Eric’s roof was leaking.

Finally he put corrugated asbestos on top of the plastic which broke, flattened the plastic and made things even worse. Now Eric had been a good looking man with a fine head of dark wavy hair (it’s true, he showed me the pictures), well he was till his roof started leaking. As attempt after attempt failed he steadily became a shadow of his former self. He aged, his eyes stared vacantly and his fine head of hair was gone, torn out in desperate frustration. He twitched and mumbled incoherently about the days of his youth when roofs were sloping and didn’t leak. Sneaky stuff that water. We all know that it likes to go downhill and find the lowest place it can but it also likes to get blown sideways by strong winds and, even worse, believe it or not it likes to go uphill if it can find a narrow crack or something porous through that strange phenomenon capillary action. Capillary action is the really sneaky bit that allows water to climb from the ground up your living room walls. These days houses in many countries have a damp proof course to stop the water rising. But a damp proof course must be well designed and properly installed if it is going to work. But more of this another time.

He called a Tukang who came to fix it. Eric’s roof had only one small drain and overhanging C/E/G-22 May 19

branches dropped leaves and blocked it frequently leaving a nice place for mosquitoes to breed. The concrete roof looked like it had been put in place by a drunken baker who couldn’t find his rolling pin. Worse, it had holes drilled through it to put the wiring through. Not a good idea on a flat roof. Capillary action was sucking the water from the roof and into cracks and wiring ducts. Waterproofing is a surprisingly difficult skill. Simply squirting a bit of silicone into any orifice you can find might stop a noisy dog from barking but fixing a leaky flat concrete roof requires far more subtlety. Also it is not very effective trying to block where it is coming out – it is important to find out where and how water is getting in in the first place. Finally it is important to get the right materials and have them properly applied. Eric is a happier man now. His hair is growing back and the eyes don’t stare as much. He has been attending a self help program called “Drips Anonymous” where leaky roof victims meet to support each other. He is getting better each day and if all goes well he may soon be able to face a glass of water again without going into spasms. If you are having problems with leaking concrete roofs you can get full information here: www.mrfixitbali.com// roofs-and-gutters/flat-concrete-roofs-235.html Previous “Fixed Abode” articles can be found subject indexed on our website at www.mrfixitbali.com.

Since the FT content is behind a pay wall and I have no interest in the weekday newspaper itself, it’s not worth my stumping up for a subscription. Fortunately for me the weekend print edition is usually on sale at Periplus bookshops around Bali. On one occasion, seated at a table on the deck of the Starbucks in Renon Plaza, engrossed in a good read trying to control the flyaway pages of my newspaper I was enveloped in a cloud of smoke. I was partly aware that a dapper Indonesian man in his early thirties had arrived and sat down at an adjoining table, put down his coffee, opened his lap top, and positioned his handphone together with some other device alongside. Preparing to be irked and ready to rustle the pages of my broadsheet ostentatiously enough to attract attention for a warm-up death glare, I realised that the smoke didn’t actually reek of tobacco, as I had automatically assumed it would. As I was registering this, the man raised a small expensive-looking rectangular black and silver object to his mouth and took a toke. Upon exhale an astonishingly copious cloud of vapour billowed forth, was taken by the wind toward and past myself, on to envelop Researchers who today to trace thefar dynamics of other tables nearby, onlystruggle dissipating on the side of the religious change in modern Java are unanimous in one thing: deck.

The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism reported that 12.2 million people visited the tombs of the Nine Saints in 2014. A few of the sites, like that of Sunan Bonang in Tuban, host up to a million visitors a year. In the final months of the Ramadan fasting month, 20,000 pilgrims a day visit the tomb of Sunan Ampel in Surabaya. The popularity of local pilgrimages has given rise to a highly profitable services sector called wisata ziarah (pilgrimage tourism) in which pilgrims are whisked around by chartered bus to as many as 9 tombs in 6 days. Run on a shoestring, the tours are composed mostly of women who wear like-colored t-shirts, sleep in the bus, mosque or rest pavilions, eat takeaway food and shop for religious souvenirs. So relentlessly popular are the tours that most participants don’t even get close to the small, inner burial chamber but have to sit in dense ranks on tiled patio floors all around the vicinity.

Provided you have planned well enough to see you safely through a recession you can actually turn it to your advantage by being first off at the gate for the turnaround.
