MONEY MATTERS From Piggy - Bank to Portfolio - The Learning Curve When you were a child did your thoughtful parents give you a ‘piggy-bank’ to encourage you to save? Its origins go back some 600 years, and while there are a number of theories as to its actual origin there is a strong indication that it originated in Java in the 14th century. They were made out of terracotta and were actually modelled on the wild boar, some of which still roam free in Java and parts of Bali. Today they are generally made out of ceramic material but their purpose remains the same after all these years, basically to encourage the saving of money for a rainy day. With the low value of coins today they are of little interest to adults but they remain an important learning tool for small children. They don’t take long to learn the relationship between money and material things. Give a small child a few coins and it will happily exchange them for candies or ice cream. Without guidance, money would never stay long in their hands. But if they are encouraged to save by means of a piggy bank they will learn that with patience they will soon have enough coins to buy a small toy. That’s an early lesson they will learn. Instant or limited access?
and have been making regular contributions to your plan for many years. An experienced financial adviser will steer you from such firms which should be banished to the history books. The pension piggy-bank that broke If you enter employment in the West you may be obliged to join a pension scheme. Now that is a really hard piggy-bank to break until you reach retirement age at which point you can ease money gradually from your retirement pot for the remainder of your life. That is the basic idea, yet in 2016 the UK government (the same one that started the Brexit chaos) decided people should have the freedom to manage their own money. This meant that people were no longer locked into low-return annuity type company pensions but could now invest as they pleased. There was a catch; those that cashed in all their pension money right away had to pay around 30% in tax. Some invested their money sensibly but others switched to private pension plans which allowed money to be diverted into speculative investments with heavy losses. Those with the least ability to plan for the future paid their tax bill then treated the balance as a windfall to be blown on luxury cars, expensive holidays and such like. The net outcome for these cases will be a sea of impoverished pensioners in years to come.
In the old days the ‘pigs’ were clearly of substantial size and had very small slots to insert coins. To access the savings the ‘pig’ had to be smashed. Evidence of that has been found in ancient excavations. Today’s piggy banks have two fundamental differences. Some are like the ancient ones and make it hard to access the coins without breaking the pig. Others on the other hand have a hole and a rubber plug on the underside so that coins can be easily removed. This is not a good choice for the child as it will quickly learn how to remove the plug and get immediate access to the coins. The equivalent comparison in adult terms would be the difference between an instant access bank account and a term deposit. Yes, you can break a term deposit but you would pay a penalty. The equivalent to breaking the piggy-bank in child terms.
The same goes for a financial investment. A number of funds have failed and lost all their value in recent years while others have had liquidity issues and gone into forced suspension, often for months or years. A recent example is the multi-billion pound Woodford Equity Income Fund in the UK that was forced to suspend redemptions in June following huge losses in some of its more speculative and illiquid shares.
In both the above cases, this is the equivalent of having your piggy-bank taken away and hidden from you as you cannot break it even if you want to! Or the aviation equivalent of having all your planes grounded.
This pension-liberating action on the part of the British government was tantamount to giving a child a hammer to smash its own piggy-bank. A pension piggy-bank should be unbreakable but the slot should be just big enough to allow gradual withdrawals to ensure an income for life. But where do expats fit into this?
The lesson is still a valuable one for later years as they will learn that it is always easier to put money in than get it out. Anyone who has gone through the process of cashing in a life company investment will relate to that! One such company based in Guernsey imposes an over-the-top compliance and security process when the time comes to cash in. This despite the fact that you may have the same bank account
Many of course have built up wealth to the point that they do not need conventional pensions as they can draw income from their assets as they please. The assets may include rental income from properties or the drawing down of a large portfolio. They have a ‘plug’ that can be opened to release money by simply selling some or all of the assets. But sometimes the plug can become ‘stuck’. For example if you are relying on an investment property for income and you find the rental market has dried up you may be forced to sell, only to find there are no buyers around and you end up, for the time being anyway, with a liability rather than as asset.
One piggy-bank is not enough!
Easy to get in; harder to get out There is a half-way house and that would be a piggy-bank with no plug but with a more generous-sized slot. A quick-learning child will soon find ways to shake the pig around until coins fall out one by one. It will then advance to a higher level of technology when it discovers how a flat implement can tease the coins out faster.
westerners as developing countries are way behind in the field of pensions. Expats generally earn more than their counterparts at home but if they don’t embrace the piggy-bank concept they risk a much bleaker retirement than had they remained in ‘cradle-to-grave’ economies.
The solution is not to rely on one asset. In property investment having two or three smaller properties in different locations is safer than having one large one. In the financial investment world your portfolio needs to be diverse with a mixture of low-return / easy access liquid assets together with longer-term, potentially higher-return assets. In other words, a mixture of cash or near-cash, bonds, stocks and commodities with further diversification within those asset classes. Clearly one piggy-bank is not going to address all your life-long financial planning needs but it’s a great way to get the little ones started on the long road to financial independence!

GREENSPEAK Forest Medicine, Micro and Macro Doses Living in Bali, it can be easy to forget urban life. We take our constant access to gardens, trees, rice fields and forests for granted. There are plenty of studies to support our instinctive awareness that we feel better when near nature. Yet humans have never been so far from merging with the natural world or so divorced from nature. By 2050, 66% of the world’s population will be living in cities. The health of urban dwellers will continue to decline due to increasingly sedentary occupations and lifestyles, mental stress related to urban living and contemporary work practices and hazardous urban environmental conditions such as crowding, heat, stress, and noise and air-pollution. In the west we’re beginning to hear about forest therapy. Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese term that means ‘taking in the forest atmosphere’ or ‘forest bathing.’ Developed in Japan during the 1980s, it’s become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Researchers in Japan and South Korea have established a robust body of scientific literature on the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. These include boosted immune system function, reduced blood pressure and stress, improved mood, sleep and energy levels, faster recovery from illness or surgery and increased ability to focus, even in children with ADHD. Greed drives deforestation. Wood is valuable. Land is valuable. We’ve all seen the statistics and maps of devastating forest loss. This is not exercise, hiking or jogging but simply being quietly in nature, connecting with it through our senses. No phones, no camera, no devices. Follow your nose, your ears, your eyes. You’re not going anywhere. Listen to the birds singing and the breeze rustling in the leaves of the trees. Look at the different greens of the trees and the sunlight filtering through the branches. Breathe in the fragrance of the forest. Taste the freshness of the air as you take deep breaths. Place your hands on the trunk of a tree. Dip your fingers or toes in a stream. Lie on the ground. Expand your senses. Take an hour. Take two. There are still plenty of forests in Bali. You don’t even need a forest. Once you’ve learned how to do it, you can do shinrin-yoku anywhere – in a nearby park or in your own garden. Finding a forest to bathe in may be increasingly challenging. The definition of a forest is a large area covered chiefly with trees and undergrowth. We are rapidly losing them. Greed drives deforestation. Wood is valuable. Land is valuable. We’ve all seen the statistics and maps of devastating forest loss. In 2017 alone, for example, Earth lost about 39 million acres (15.8 million hectares) of tropical tree cover, which is like losing 40 football fields of trees every minute for a year. Melting icecaps and glaciers, massive forest fires, increas-
ing temperatures and rising sea levels… we are in big, probably irreversible, trouble. Young people have rightly forced our attention to their damaged birthright. By confronting collective denial, Extinction Rebellion has kicked new energy into finding solutions. Suddenly, it seems, people are realizing the importance of trees, lots of trees. Not just for our psychological wellbeing in forest bathing, but as imperative elements in saving the planet as we know it.
of trees. Whether or not this actually happens remains to be seen. It’s not all bad news. According to the World Resources Institute report in February 2019, Indonesia was a rare bright spot in the otherwise bleak landscape of 2017 tree cover loss. While most countries in the tropics contributed to another year of record-breaking losses, Indonesia experienced a 60 percent drop in primary forest loss compared to 2016. This program was financially supported by Norway. The Indonesian government has strengthened forest protection through new policies and enhanced enforcement. For example, a 2016 presidential regulation imposed a moratorium on the commercial development of carbon-rich peat lands even in areas already licensed for conversion to oil palm or timber plantations.
In 2014, the New York Declaration on Forests stated that forests represent one of the largest, most cost-effective climate solutions available today. We desperately need trees, and they are being cut down much faster than they’re being replanted. Trees sequester carbon, provide a habitat for animals, purify water sources, control flooding and erosion, maintain water tables and help to replenish the soil with nutrients needed for farming. They are also the source of non-timber forest products for local people such as honey, fruits and nuts, vegetables, fish and game, medicinal plants, resins, essences and a range of barks and fibres such as bamboo, rattans and a host of other palms and grasses. Eighty percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests. Planting canopy trees in cities brings temperatures down. Politicians are waking up to the potential of ‘natural climate solutions’ – reforestation and other ecological restoration. Global forests are estimated to hold more CO2 than the atmosphere. According to a study from the University of Oxford, trees are the best technology to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fix it into soils and biomass, reversing global warming. Half a tree’s biomass is carbon which remains stored, acting as a ‘carbon sink’, unless the tree decays or is burned. Widespread reforestation could provide 37% of the greenhouse gas mitigation required to provide a better chance of stabilising global heating below the critical 2C threshold. In March the United Nations announced a Decade of Ecosystem Restoration and has set a target to restore 350m hectares – an area bigger than India – by 2030. Countries like India and China are pledging to plant millions of hectares
Mangroves are a critical part of the tropical ecosystem. They protect human communities from coastal floods, filter river flows out to sea and prevent soil washing into the ocean and destroying coral reefs. They serve as important nurseries for juvenile fish. Most importantly, perhaps, studies suggest they can sequester four times more carbon than rainforest. In the last three decades Indonesia has lost over 40% of its mangrove forests. This affects not only the environment and the species that rely on them but also the communities that depend on this ecosystem for survival. Eden Reforestation Projects is working with local villagers on Biak Island in Papua to restore, replant, and protect mangrove forest systems. The Eden team in Biak planted almost 2,500,000 mangroves in the first year of the project. Those of us lucky enough to have land under our stewardship can plant trees on it. If we can’t plant trees ourselves, we can support one of the excellent reforestation projects like TreeSisters or WeForest. Don’t just sit there, plant something!

The Serfs Are Revolting Frederich Ebenezer Pump was a clever man. The chairman of the Upper Wallop Serf Club, he invented a device consisting of a pipe with a piston and operated by a handle which enabled the serfs to draw water from wells. Used all over the world the village pump has been the centre of community life since time immoral. Often the place where important matters of local interest are discussed but also where young damsels meet dirty old men under cover of darkness, the village pump has been the subject of a plethora of songs (mostly of the bawdy variety). Frederich’s great, great, great, great, grandson’s, cousin’s, uncle’s, husband’s, great, great, grandson, Cornelius Archibald Pump, was tinkering around in old Frederich’s garden shed one day when he came across a design for a rotating centrifugal water pump which old Fred had thoughtfully put aside until the electric motor was invented some 2 centuries later. This pump has become a ubiquitous design. It has an inlet and an outlet pipe and uses a rotating wheel (an impeller) with fins or vanes which uses centrifugal force to throw the water outwards with such force that it can push it along pipes. This clever device is used these days to mow down crowds of serfs when they are severely lacking in the gruntle department and become somewhat revolting. Water pumps are little heroes in our homes, they are generally very reliable working without attention often for years on end. They are inexpensive but an essential component in the systems that make our lives comfortable. Of course, these days pumps are driven by electric motors and, in addition to the rotating impeller, have several additional components to improve their performance:
Capacitor A capacitor is a clever little device that collects electrical energy then, when it has enough, it releases it in a zap of extra energy. Very useful as ice breakers at parties, capacitors are used to give a burst of extra energy to get things going. They are widely used on pumps, air conditioners and fluorescent lights. On electric motors, they give an extra burst of power to overcome friction and start them turning. Normally cylindrical about 2 cms diameter and 8 cms long with a wire coming out of one end the capacitor is usually mounted inside a small cover on the outside of the electric motor.
Common Problems The most common problem we find with water pumps is “cycling” (often known as the “Balinese water torture”) the pump continually switching itself on and off. This is usually caused by leaks in the water system (such as running toilets), badly set pressure switches or by damaged pressure tank bladders.
Pressure Switches Many of the water pumps we use have two pressure switches which sense the water pressure in the pipes and switch the pump on and off.
Plumbers and Electricians While problems in your water system can result in high water bills, they can also leave you with very high electricity bills. Finding and solving such problems may require a combination of both plumbing and electrical skills and an understanding of how the two interact.
Normally the water in your household water system is pressurised. If you turn on a tap, the pressure in the system is released, this releases the water pressure on a pressure switch which then switches the water pump on. The pump will run until you turn the tap off and the pressure of the water in your pipes increases back to a to maximum pressure at which point, the pressure operates a second switch to turn the pump off. We can adjust the settings of these switches to increase or decrease the water pressure in your pipes. Pressure Tanks Most pumps have a steel pressure tank attached which has air inside it, the air being contained in a rubber bladder. Water is not squishy like air and so the tank performs two functions, it stores pressure so the pump doesn’t need to switch on and off all the time and it provides an air cushion in the water system to absorb shocks when taps are suddenly turned on or off. Pressure tanks vary considerably in size from small ones that simply protect the pump to very large ones that can store large volumes of pressurised water, very useful if you have an unreliable electricity supply.

Such problems are often beyond the ability of the average tukang who may tend to react to the individual symptoms rather than looking at the MEP systems as a whole to track down the cause.

AIrAsia – one of the region’s best-known and popular budget airlines - was founded by Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, who famously took over a failing domestic carrier in Malaysia in 2001, and turned it into Asia’s largest low-cost carrier in only a few years. Last month, Air Asia won World’s Best Low-Cost Airline Award from Skytrax – the eleventh year in a row that the airline has been recognized. The airline was also named Asia’s Best Low-Cost Airline. Beyond the awards, AirAsia is quietly involved in Asian home markets where it operates, supporting programs in sport, HIV, social enterprise, education, climate change action and more. Air Asia takes its community involvement and corporate responsibility seriously. AIR ASIA FOUNDATION The Air Asia Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the AirAsia Group and is working to help effect change through social entrepreneurship and a small grants program. The Foundation offers ongoing support and mentoring@LizInBali to grantees throughout the grant period, helping them gain exposure of their brand and reach new markets. SUPPORTING HUMANITARIAN PROJECTS
SUPPORTING ASEAN SOCIAL ENTERPRISE In 2017, the Foundation opened a social enterprise popup store – called Destination: GOOD - at Kuala Lumpur’s International Airport, AirAsia’s regional base of operations. Destination: GOOD carries more than 200 products, including organic produce, stationary, accessories and home décor, produced by 23 ASEAN social enterprise companies supported by grants from the Foundation. Among these are Selaka Kotagede silversmiths from Indonesia, Rags2Riches artisans from the Philippines, Folkcharm weavers from Thailand and Zo Project papermakers from Vietnam.
This year, AirAsia become the sponsor of the AirAsia Juraki Invitational, an indigenous Australian surfing event. SUPPORTING FUNDRAISING

AND
AirAsia Foundation Executive Director, Ms Yap Mun Ching said, “Since 2012, we have awarded 19 grants for social enterprises to expand their businesses. While doing this, we realised that many of them needed help to reach new markets. With this partnership with Malaysia Airports, we are able to provide the social enterprises with an international platform.” SUPPORTING REGIONAL SPORTS This past week, the Malaysian-based airline started accepting applications for the AirAsia UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Performance Training Scholarship that allows an up-and-coming Mixed Martial Artist from Asia Pacific to train for a month at the UFC Institute in Shanghai, China. The custom-tailored program allows the chosen martial artist to train for a month with other worldclass MMA athletes at the world-class training and sports science facility. Air Asia covers all expenses. AirAsia Group Head of Branding Rudy Khaw said, “At AirAsia, we’ve always been committed to nurturing young talent, and it’s through our #DARETODREAM campaign that we continue to inspire up-and-coming athletes to realise their full potential.” Last years choice was Indonesian strawweight Linda Darrow, who trained at the UFC Institute in Las Vegas.
In 2015, the Foundation partnered with Open Learning Exchange Nepal (OLE Nepal) to rebuild four schools devastated in the 2015 earthquake, as part of their “To Nepal with Love” campaign. An AirAsia team visiting the finished schools in 2017 brought with them 300 new schoolbags and four sets of children’s books, donated by BookXcess, to set up libraries. Each school also received 25 children’s laptops, a server with open source material for teaching, teacher training and sports equipment. Indonesian projects that have received grants from the Foundation include Arkomjogja, Selaka Kotageded, Indonesia Medika Foundation, Natural Aceh and LP2M.
of surfers who head to South East Asia each year, the changes to AirAsia’s baggage policy was a welcomed benefit for the surfing community.
In 2018, AirAsia and Australia’s leading surf bodies, such as Surfing Australia and World Surfing League’s Australian professional series, created a joint partnership that saw AirAsia become surfing’s official airline partner in Australia. Key surfing events offer the AirAsia Big Air Award. As part of the agreement, AirAsia allows Australian surfers going to Indonesia, the Maldives, Japan, the Philippines and Thailand to check their surfboards free of charge. Surfing Australia CEO Andrew Stark said, “For the waves
AirAsia helps transport aid, relief workers and survivors of natural disasters after earthquakes, hurricanes and other devastating events. For example, in 2004, AirAsia flew humanitarian flights to Aceh after the Indian Ocean Tsunami. The airline carried out a massive fund raising campaign for people in the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 and supported relief efforts in Nepal after the earthquake there in 2015.
AirAsia and Santan teamed up with INSPI(RED), a nonprofit working to end HIV/AIDS, to create a special inflight meal, the INSPI(RED) Burger. Created by New York-based INSPI(RED) Chef Ambassador Hong Thaimee, the burger draws on her Northern Thai roots to deliver a truly East-meets-West experience. It features a chicken patty infused with fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass, topped with zesty nam prik noom mayo (green chilli mayonnaise), shredded purple cabbage and tomato on a red beetroot bun. One of the country’s foremost female chef/restaurateurs, Chef Hong Thaimee is also a humanitarian activist, inspirational speaker and global ambassador for Thailand’s culinary culture. For every INSPI(RED) Burger sold, 10% of sales will go to the Global Fund to support HIV/AIDS testing, counselling, treatment and prevention programmes in the Asean region. INSPI (RED) Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Lotito said, “The INSPI(RED) Burger is not only a delicious option for [AirAsia] passengers; it brings real awareness to the AIDS fight and helps raise critical funds to finance HIV/AIDS programmes in Asean.” Passengers can pre-book the INSPI(RED) burger on most Air Asia flights. So the next time you’re on board one of those distinctive red and white planes, visiting one of AirAsia’s 140 destinations, pick up their in-flight magazine, travel360, (or go online) and read the Make a Difference page for information about programs supported by the Foundation.

As an ethnomusicologist and self-confessed gamelan geek, it’s fascinating to learn about villages in Bali that deify their ancient gamelan instruments called selonding. (Now that’s the sort of entity I could see myself worshipping!) These instruments are so sanctified that one must not refer profanely to them simply as ‘selonding’ (their particular genre of orchestra) but as “Ida Betara Bagus Selonding”, literally meaning ‘the handsome god of selonding’.

I’ve visited a number of villages where these ancient (in some cases perhaps a millennia or more years old) orchestras are found, including Terunyan, Tenganan, Bungaya, Selat, Bugbug, Asak, Timbrah, Ngis Manggis and a number of others. Even though selonding is an ancient type of predominantly iron-keyed gamelan orchestra once found all over Bali (except for Klungkung according to selonding researcher Pande Wayan Tusan’s book entitled ‘Selonding – Tinjauan Gamealn Bali Kuna Abad X – IX) and once in parts of East Java, today the most common pockets of selonding traditions are in the Bali Aga villages in Karangasem. In contrast with the rest of ‘Hindu-ized’ Bali where the Hindu trinity of Siwa, Wisnu and Brahma are the focus of worship and ritual, for certain large and rare ceremonies known as ‘usaba desa’ the village’s maha-deity are their selonding instruments. There are certain restrictions surrounding such instruments in most of these villages: 1. They may only be played for certain rituals and to accompany specific dances; 2. They may only perform specific ancient repertoire; 3. They may only be played by men; 4. They may only be played by men who are from one particular family or descended from that family; 5. The musicians must undergo a special cleansing ritual called ‘mawinten’ before ascending to Selonding Pavilion (Bale Selonding) and before playing or even touching the instruments; 6. In some villages during a specific part of a ceremony, the selonding instruments may not even be seen by those outside of the group of designated musicians; 7. The instruments must not be transported in a vehicle but carried on the heads and shoulders of men – in some cases preceded by a white cloth placed on the ground as they are transported; 8. When transported, onlookers must sit on the ground (included non-locals and tourists) and nothing must be placed higher than the instruments, including electricity and phone cables which must be taken down; 9. Special, large offerings must be prepared before any selonding music is played; 10. In some villages, a special oil lamp must be lit constantly while the instruments are being played. The sound of selonding instruments is indeed uber sacred. There is no other orchestra in Bali that comes even close to their timbre, tuning and resulting soundscape. You can hear and see some examples of sacred selonding on Mekar Bhuana’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3B67508202D08DE1 By Vaughan Hatch Copyright © Kulture Kid 2019 You can read all past articles of Kulture Kid at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

Restaurant & Food
Restaurant Review The Flag of Indonesia! Merah Putih does a modern version of Indonesian food, but I have a problem here. I always prefer a variety of tastes in my meals and the small plates and appetisers are so good here that I usually just have 3-4 of them rather than ordering any mains.
There is also a further selection of small plates, most of sufficient size to be shared between two persons if enough are ordered. Not to be missed is the Labu Iki, a zucchini flower fritter with eggplant and red beans. Garita Parape is octopus with shallots, tofu and fennel cooked rica-rica style. The only Sate on the menu is Lidah Padang, beef tongue and oxtail, curried. Udang Kipas Woku is slipper lobster and catfish with taro, chilli, leeks and fern tips. Then come the exotics; Bebek Goreng, crispy duck with cucumber and daikon, cooked hot and spicy [colo-colo from Manado] with rice pancakes. Kambing Sambal Hijau is smoked goat belly, with green chilli cabbage and onions, surprisingly good and then there is Puyuh Tangkap, Aceh style fried quail with coconut, chilli, pandan and curry leaves, a dish that can be ordered in two different sized serves.
There are separate menus for lunch and dinner but many items are on both menus. One starter that is always on my list, lunch or dinner, is the Bak Pao [pictured], chef’s interpretation of that popular Indonesian street food regular, this one using pork shoulder meat with soy and chilli in an open pocket steamed bun, pickles on the side Another snack that is hard to resist is the Tongkol Gahu, slices of Yellow Fin Tuna with tomato, smoked chilli and kemangi [lemon basil]. A great taste to start the dining experience. Perkedel Sapi is a croquette made from beef shank with eggplant, green chilli and cashews. Ayam Paniki is chicken thigh with corn, papaya, greens and sambal. Kerang Nangka is also one that you will be tempted to try, tempe crusted scallop in jackfruit rendang and onions. Rujak Kakap consists of raw Red Emperor with pomelo and herbs. At the top of the list is the Pangsit Lobster, a bamboo lobster dumpling with coconut laksa and red peppers. Only available on the dinner menu is the Rissole Jamur, an oyster mushroom fritter with leek, jicama [an unusual root vegetable, sort of like a cross between an apple and a potato] and balado sambal.
Dinner service only there is Mie Udang, home-made ink noodles with yabbies and sea urchin. Lunch time also offers a range of noodle dishes, an Ayam Betutu and a vegetarian special of Sayur Sayuran.
QUICK REVIEW Restaurant : Address : Telephone : Open : Non-Smoking Area : Smoking Area : Parking : Price : Credit Cards : Food : Wine : Service : Atmosphere : Overall :
Merah Putih. Jln. Raya Petitenget, Kerobokan. 846.5950. Lunch [noon to 3.00 pm]. [Dinner from 6.00pm. daily]. Main restaurant. Bar area only. Limited space front and rear. Rp. 700,000 for two [+ drinks] All major cards. Modern Indonesian. Good list. Functional. In a glass cage. An experience to remember.
The mains are all invariably an explosion of taste, most of which are available for both lunch and dinner. Seafood can be Barramundi [Balinese curry], Whole white reef fish, or Tiger Prawns [served with clams in a stew with daikon, turmeric and kemangi]. The beef is a wonderful soy-glazed beef cheek and the pork a combination of belly and neck. Extra mains for dinner only are a Lamb Shank and two special dinners for two persons. First is Duck, breast and leg, with soy and star anise, jicama and pickles served with steam buns so you can eat it Peking Duck style. Second is an Angus steak dish, both rib-eye and oyster blade with a cashew sambal. There is also a special Vegetarian menu with an impressive list of options, many unusual dishes, veggies with taste! Any visit to Merah Putih is for a meal to remember, basic Indonesian with amazing twists. Food for the taste buds!

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia
An Artist’s Journey to Bali Written and illustrated by renowned artist Betty Reynolds, An Artist’s Journey to Bali is a travelogue sketchbook that captures the culture and life of Bali in a succinct and colorful 48 pages. In this beautifully illustrated artist’s journal, the author shares her good fortune of meeting many Balinese who allowed her to witness important aspects of their lives. With the sharp eyes of a watercolorist, Reynolds was thus able to participate in numerous religious rites that mark the passage through the major stages of a person’s life.
By Betty Reynolds
As the perfect complement to the text, Reynold’s watercolor paintings highlight island attractions, plants, fruits and flowers; all the classic Balinese dishes and how to prepare them; accoutrements, clothing and gestures used in worship, parts of a temple, house compound and typical village; agricultural implements; names of gods, goddesses and demons; types of dances; gamelan orchestra instruments; arts and crafts; terms used in ceremonies, festivals, rituals, performances and customs, well-known temples and places as well as the daily spiritual routines of its people.
An Artist’s Journey will make an unique souvenir or gift for a friend. Though a small book, it contains so much new information that it takes more than one sitting to absorb it all.
Judging from the cover, readers might first think that this is a children’s book but it actually contains a wealth of cultural lessons accompanied by breezy watercolor drawings, starting with full page bleeds of Bali’s most iconic symbols – a panorama of a duck herder, wet rice fields, a woman laying offerings at a shrine to the rice goddess and a tall tapered decorative bamboo pole placed outside Balinese Hindu homes during religious holidays, all set against the background of a looming volcano. The thin volume also serves admirably as a reference book, which can help readers decide what to explore and discover. The two facing opening pages, which encapsulate the author’s own experiences, provides a first-rate starter checklist of what to do and see on Bali. The book will not only deepen your understanding of a remarkable ethnic group but also equip you with a basic vocabulary in the Balinese language. The author uses Balinese (not Indonesian) terms so extensively that there is no need for a glossary. Betty Reynolds is a consultant and art director who loves to travel and draw. She has published a number of sketchbooks on Japan. Like all her other sketchbooks, the one on Bali doesn’t contain travel facts, advice and guidance, yet it will inform you about what you need to know by accurately describing the island’s cultural landscape and the context surrounding events in the form of hundreds of short, bite-sized captions that are easy to take in and remember. The plethora of odd facts and details spark curiosity and create excitement.
the rice fields? What is that procession to the beach? What is the meaning of those ornate poles? What are those voodoo hats on temples? Why are those stones honored? What does chaka-ka-ka-chak mean? Are the instruments only played by men? Can filing the teeth lose bad habits? What do the old coins mean? Why is that offering placed lower than the others? Why are funerals so raucous and not sad? How can a woman carry such heavy loads on their heads? What is that fruit with the lizard skin called? What is so special about the Dadap tree?
If a tourist buys the book it on their first day in Bali, it will illuminate many aspects of their stay in a strange land that is far from their usual comfort zone. With its painstakingly scrutinized and subtle images, it’s ideal especially for children who know absolutely nothing about this small Indonesian island.
The special strength of watercolors is their directness in capturing an artist’s initial creative impulses and their on-site response to a scene. This lends these intimate glimpses a vitality and spontaneity that is not often seen in finished paintings that use other media. Watercolor sketches are also more modest in scale and intention as the artist has to very carefully observe and then swiftly render a specific object, close-up portrait, figure study or outline a larger scene. This immediacy makes watercolors more personal. There are instructions on how to wrap a sarong, don headgear (udeng) for a ceremony, how to behave and pray at a religious event, how to make a bamboo offering, etc. In just several hours, one can find imaginative and descriptive answers to scores of puzzling questions that you might have about this fascinating island: What are those decorations in
This is a book that you would want to have in your possession to refresh your memory or to share your story about your travels with friends and family. A sensible and low-priced introduction to the island, An Artist’s Journey to Bali is a treasure for anyone who has embraced the people and ways in Bali. A true keepsake! An Artist’s Journey to Bali: The Island of Art, Magic and Mystery by Betty Reynolds, Tuttle Publishing 2010, ISBN-978-080-484-0439, hardcover, 48 pages, dimensions 27.5 cm x 22.5 cm.

BOOMER CORNER Last Stand in Paradise
Life on the Island of the Gods – what Nehru exclaimed when he visited Bali for the first time in the 1960s - is a unique and enviable experience. A growing number of foreign retirees are choosing this balmy tropical land of palm trees and clanging of xylophonic orchestras as a place to live off their pensions at a higher standard of living and quality of life that they would ever realize in their home countries.
of millions of dollars in boutique hotels, lavish rental properties and have vigorously entered the small-scale business sector which had traditionally been run only by Balinese. The dietary needs of foreigners have generated vegan, ethnic, Asian fusion, delis, specialty producers, imported groceries outlets and farmer’s markets selling garden fresh organic vegetables.
A Hindu speck in a Muslim sea, Bali is located in the middle of a string of 17,000-plus islands 4200 km long – one-sixth of the earth’s surface. Measuring only 150 km wide and 110 km from north to south, the island is about the same size as the state of Delaware in the U.S. but has 4.5 times the population. You can drive from one end to the other in a day. Drawn by its stunning variety of landscapes, real estate bargains, warm and friendly people, theatrical culture and religion (Bali Hinduism, a sort of frontier Hinduism), healthy and salubrious weather with 85-degree F. yearround temperatures prized by North Americans and Europeans, a well-established and cosmopolitan mixedage community of expats from all over the world have settled far and wide in Bali. These overseas transplants occupy villas, apartments, condos and bungalows for months or years at a time, often with household staffs and swimming pools included. Bali is a land of ludicrously miniscule property taxes, labor costs and jam karet (“rubber time”) where being punctual is considered amusing.
Australians are the most numerous retirees because they are able to travel back and forth so easily and cheaply between their home country and the tropical island. Australians are even able to do a “trial” retirement, a test run of six months or so to see how they acclimate. The other big retirement groups – gathered anecdotally, because there are no official figures - are Europeans, mainly UK residents, Dutch, Italians, Spanish and Germans. Asian retirees – Japanese, Singaporeans and Taiwanese – have also established small colonies. A great number of foreign residents who had retired to another Asian country, like uncomfortably-sticky Thailand or overpriced Beijing, pulled up stakes and have relocated to Bali. But whoever it is that makes up the ever-swelling expat population, they exert an influence on the island’s daily life way out of proportion to their numbers (about 30,000). Bule, the Indonesian word for foreigner, have their own clubs, cafes, charities, blogs, websites, newspapers and magazines. This guest population has invested hundreds
Another irresistible attraction for retirees are the health dividends derived from leading a wholesome lifestyle. Balinese live much of their lives outdoors and don’t place as much emphasis on interior spaces as denizens of cold climates do. With so much time spent in outside gathering places such as beaches, pools, open-air cafes, terraces and pavilions, activities like reading, gardening, walking, cycling, beachcombing, painting, watching movies and birds, stargazing or doing yoga, the big ultra HD flat-screen TV and the luxury high-end SUV somehow seem redundant and unnecessary. At ripe old ages when you normally start seeing lots of obituaries, the low-stress tropical island rhythm has coalesced to give expats a new lease on life. To keep themselves busy, maintain a sharp mind and give their lives purpose, many expats volunteer for humanitarian charitable organizations that support orphanages, rescue animals, remove cataracts or eradicate poverty. Others give free English or yoga lessons to village kids or become involved in the Rotary Club’s many programs such as beach cleaning drives and establishing libraries in schools in Bali’s poorest rural districts. A Place in the Sun Of Bali’s eight regencies (kabupaten), only Badung, Denpasar and Gianyar occupy the southernmost portion of the island. It’s puzzling why 95% of Bali’s expats are concentrated in this crowded and congested portion of Bali, with all its noise, population density and high cost of living. Perhaps because of its proximity to the ocean, to the capital, to Bali’s economic pulse and to all the First World comforts and services that the island has to offer, the overcrowded resorts of Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Canggu are the most popular places for Westerners to settle. Yet the whole island has essentially become an expat ecosystem where the like-minded can share experiences and expertise with others. Six other regencies - Karangasem, Buleleng, Tabanan, Bangli, Jembrana, Klungkung - which wheel fan-like around southern Bali – are each in different ways eminently

suitable for foreign residence. Firstly, because businesses in these “outlier” regions cater overwhelmingly to the Balinese themselves, the cost of living is 20%-30% lower than in the island’s more developed southerly areas. Of the six regencies, only remote Jembrana to the west – basically a cultural and religious extension of Java where the mosques outnumber Hindu temples 5 to 1 – offers the fewest attractions and amenities for expats. This is changing as new villas seem to appearing every month along the long empty black-sand shores of the Jembrana coast. Sizeable expat pockets are the inland town of Ubud in Gianyar, the art and cultural hub of Bali; the scenic Candidasa/Amlapura area of the eastern Karangasem; the quieter northern coastal strips of Lovina-TejakulaAmed in Buleleng and Karangasem. The capitals of all the outer regencies offer all the basic services, Internet, supermarkets, lively night markets (pasar senggol), outstanding restaurants serving full meals for US50 to US$1; laundry service for 15¢ apiece, neatly folded and wrapped for next day pickup. Professional rates for doctors, dentists, masseuse, plumbers, bricklayers and carpenters are far lower than in the overpopulated south.
But no matter which part of Bali you choose to live in, you’re still in the wonderful sunny tropics. There’s something extraordinary about being able to wear a t-shirt every day of the year through the island’s eternal summer, gaze out your window at mighty volcanoes and gigantic billowing cumulous clouds, look up at the night sky filled with millions of stars, bite into an exquisite tropical fruit, hear the soft dreamy sound of a faraway gamelan, the inexplicable tinkling of bells from a distant temple ceremony and lounge on beaches within earshot of waves lapping lazily on the shores of the Indian Ocean.

Beauty & Health Yoga Facelift Bali is abundant with yoga centers and yoga retreats. We know that this ancient form of exercise is good for our body and health. But did you know by exercising your face muscles it will rejuvenate the skin like a face lift? Based on Chinese acupuncture points, there are 57 muscles in the face and neck, which are toned and lifted using special exercises for these areas. Working on these points also balances the most important glands in your body: hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal gland, thyroid and thymus. It nurtures all five major internal organs that can be seen on the face (liver, heart, lungs, spleen, kidneys) it also has positive effects on the nervous system. The best time to do these exercises is in the morning to boost your energy, wake you up and cleans your mind. These simple exercises can be done at home, preferably every day like yoga. To my knowledge, Goldust Beauty Lounge in Canggu is the first spa to offer a Yoga Lifting Facial - by Glowinface, which includes a full facial with cleansing and a mask. The staff had recently been trained in the special exercises used in the ninety minute treatment by Glowinface. Karin Velikonja is the creator of Glowinface, who came to do the training for them. After a grueling and hot hour spent weaving my way through perhaps Bali’s worst traffic congestion on the Echo Beach “short cut” I was desperate for a relaxing treatment by the time I arrived at Goldust. After a quick check-in at reception and filling out the profile sheet I was escorted upstairs by my therapist and taken to a quiet softly lit room. The spa looked amazingly beautiful and elegant. The therapist handed me a gold satin smock to change into. Turning off my phone and setting aside my clothing I gratefully lay on the massage table. I was so ready to be pampered. However, she suggested taking a photo first to compare with afterwards. After cleansing and scrubbing the face she turned on the steamer to open the pores. Next came a divine face, neck and head massage. Exactly what I needed to eliminate the tense muscles from my journey. Now we were ready for the
occasion instant results from the facial treatment are visible. When I got home I googled facial yoga and found a few videos on you tube and watched three of them. Mostly they showed the exercises that were used during my facial, which are easy to follow. So I’m doing my facial exercises every day now.
yoga exercises. She started by pressing on my upper chest and asking me to take a deep breath three times. Expertly pressing her fingers into the muscles next to the corners of my mouth she asked me to curl my lips inward as she stretched the muscles outward. She held this position for 30 seconds and released. This was repeated twice more. Next she asked me to open my mouth in a large O, again curling the lips inside. The exercises continued, sometimes quite strongly but not painful. She asked me to squint my eyes tightly while looking up without wrinkling my forehead. The yoga lasted for probably half an hour, sometimes plucking the skin along the jawline or tapping her fingers over my face. I felt like I had done a good exercise session. Next was the luxurious part of the treatment, a hyaluronic collagen mask was applied to my face and neck. During the half hour wait, she wrapped a hot towel around each foot and applied acupressure massage to them. Then she gently massaged my scalp, which felt wonderfully titillating. After the mask was removed with a warm towel and a moisturizer was applied to my skin, I sat up and we took an after photo. Yes, there was a difference in my skin. It looked smoother and more radiant. She gave me a card with exercise instructions that I could do at home with photos and demonstrated the exercises for me so I was clear. It was an amazing facial experience. Goldust recommends having six to eight yoga facials to get the maximum results to look like you’ve had a facelift. As seen in the photos all of these women did daily facial yoga at home and the results were after several months with treatments in the spa once a week. However, for a special
For a follow-up to my facial I had a relaxing warm oil conditioning hair candle treatment. A jasmine aromatherapy candle melts into a warm blend of argon, jojoba and coconut oils to strengthen the hair cuticle and deeply nourish the scalp. After my hair was washed the warm oil was massaged onto my scalp and hair. Then my head was wrapped in a hot towel and hot basalt stones were used to massage my neck and shoulders, which was blissful. Following this she wrapped hot towels around my hands and massaged my arms and then my hands. Then back to the hair wash station. To finish, she lightly blew my hair dry which was shiny and soft. This indulgent hair treatment was extremely relaxing, which was much more decadent than an ordinary cream bath. Goldust Beauty Lounge Jl. Batu Bulong no. 66, Canggu.

Local News Garuda Indonesia ridiculed for attempting to ban social media on their flights
Recently, a vlogger from Indonesia had uploaded a video about his flight experience on Garuda Indonesia from Sydney to Bali. His business class experience was less ideal as the in-flight menu was provided on a handwritten note and they had run out of wine. Of course, bad experiences do happen once in a while and you would expect the airline to offer an apology for the shortcomings. Instead, the airline was initially reported to have sued Rius Vernandes, the vlogger, for what claims to be defamation. To make matters worse, Garuda Indonesia even issued a memo to its crew informing them that passengers are not allowed to document their travel in both photo and video form. They also emphasised that the cabin crew must use assertive language in conveying the restriction. The way Garuda Indonesia handles a negative review was shocking and it appears that they are making the situation worse by preventing people from sharing their experiences online. Eventually, the Indonesian flag carrier had retracted their photography and video recording ban after they have been mocked by the public. According to Garuda Indonesia, the directive was an internal document which has been revised to appeal to passengers to respect the privacy of other passengers and flight crew on duty. A spokesman said that the appeal was based on reports and suggestions from passengers who feel uncomfortable and disturbed by the shooting and documentation of activities without permission. As usual, with anything that goes viral on the internet, other companies have taken the opportunity to make fun of the ban. This includes Grab and other Indonesian brands. At the moment, it appears that Garuda Indonesia had managed to settle the issue with the vlogger. The police summons was withdrawn and it was clarified that it was issued by Garuda Indonesia Labour Union, and not by the airline. Rius had even posted an Instagram update today and it appears that both parties have reconciled. If you do plan to vlog your flight experience, do be mindful about the privacy of other passengers and cabin crew members. Different airlines may have their own policy about taking photos and videos. It is best to consult with the airline or ask permission if you’re going to record a moment that’s going to be more than just for personal use.

Two plastic-reduction initiatives were announced by the founder of the successful start-up, Nadiem Makarin, in detik.com.
Customers will have the choice of ordering recyclable materials at an additional cost of Rp. 1,000. Currently, there are more than 750 venders joining the environmental sustainability initiative in the Go-Jek operational areas of Jabodetabek, Bandung, Surabaya, and Bali. Participants joining the green initiative are shown on the Go-Food application. To avoid the use of plastic bags by drivers when delivering food, Go-Jek is also redesigning new drivers’ backpacks with compartments suitable for the transport of food. Continually seeking to become greener, Go-Jek and Go-Food are collaborating with the Indonesian Ministry for the Environment and Forestry (KLHK) and the World-wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Indonesia. KHLK is assisting Go-Jek in creating carrying bags for food to be used by drivers and helping to educate vendor to avoid single-use plastics. Meanwhile, WWF-Indonesia is also preparing educational materials for drivers, vendors, and the public regarding the threat posed to the environment by single-use of plastic. KLHK estimate that Indonesia produces 175,000 tons of rubbish each day. This total is extrapolated on the assumption that every person produces 0.7 kilograms of trash each day, 15% of which is comprised of single-use plastic. According to the Chief Food Officer of the Go-Jek Group, Catherine Hindra Sutjahyo, her company is pledging to continually seek new ideas and initiatives to preserve and protect the natural environment.

26 Two Australians held in Bali over cocaine trafficking Two Australian nightclub promoters have been arrested in Bali by police investigating an alleged cocaine-trafficking ring, with raids taking place on homes and businesses over the weekend. The duo have been named as Will Cabantog, 35, and David Van Iersel, 38. They are in custody in Denpasar. They were arrested by Balinese police on Saturday, but have not been charged with any offence. Mr Cabantog promoted or managed popular Melbourne night spots Club 23 and Boutique Nightclub. The Australian is not suggesting the men had any involvement in the alleged drug-trafficking ring, only that they are being questioned by police.
“Holidays are made for people who need to escape from work,” he said in the post. “When my work is like this everyday … a holiday and moving to Bali was the best life decision ever.”
Balinese police have been investigating a major cocaine trafficking syndicate in Canggu, a popular seaside local on the Indonesian island, and reported seized CCTV footage from a venue where one of the men worked as a promoter. It’s been reported the two men were questioned by police on Sunday. If charged with drug possession the men face a maximum penalty of 12 years’ jail. If charged with trafficking, they could potentially face the death penalty. The Department of Foreign Affairs is believed to be looking [The Australian July 23, 2019] into the matter. “The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is aware that two Australians have been arrested in Bali, Indonesia,” a DFAT spokesperson said. “We stand ready to offer consular assistance, in accordance with the Consular Services Charter, to any Australian citizen, should they request it.” A family member of Mr Van Iersel, who recently arrived in Bali, declined to comment this afternoon. Mr Cabantog is believed to have relocated to Bali in October, and has been involved in nightclub promotions since arriving there. In an Instagram post from October 23, he said: “it’s been a hard landing into the Balinese scene. This place is sick!” In February, he said he had no regrets about his move there. Indonesia plans cloud seeding effort to avoid crop failure Indonesia is preparing to carry out cloud seeding in an effort to trigger rainfall to prevent harvest failure and forest fire, the disaster mitigation agency’s spokesman said on Monday. The agency’s data shows that on July 22 about 20,269 hectares of agricultural land were at risk of harvest failure because of drought. Spokesman Agus Wibowo said an estimated 3 trillion rupiah ($215 million) loss could occur if the drought problem is not addressed and harvests fail. Indonesian president Joko Widodo last week
ordered cabinet ministers and regional heads to take action to avoid crops failure. Authorities plans to carry out cloud seeding from this month, shooting salt flares into clouds in an attempt to trigger rainfall in dry areas. “Our priority is to maintain stability of food supply in Indonesia and avoid a drastic drop in production, which could result in a huge amount of imports,” Wibowo said. The government will establish two bases for the operation, in the country’s capital Jakarta and in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. The operation will be focused on Java Island, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara. This year’s dry season is affected by a mild El Nino weather pattern, said Fachri Radjab at Indonesia’s meteorology and geophysics agency. Peak of dry season is expected to occur from mid-August to mid-September. [Canadian Cattlemen July 22, 2019]
Google-backed Bali start-up tackles waste crisis with AI Unlike most local start-ups, Gringgo Indonesia Foundation targets neither consumers nor small and medium enterprises; instead, it targets the hundreds of informal trash collectors in Denpasar, Bali. The foundation was first established in late 2014 under the name CashForTrash, and then evolved into a tech start-up that coordinates city-wide waste collection through a mobile app. These informal trash collectors – who are mostly men – go from door to door gathering recyclable and reusable waste, earning about Rp 4 million (US$283) per month by charging a small collection fee and selling the recyclable waste to companies. The problem, explained Gringgo cofounder and president Febriadi Pratama, was that the trash collectors were uncoordinated and thus, inefficient in their waste collection. Their collection routes often overlapped, and they did not have the know-how to identify recyclable and reusable items like diapers and coconut shells. “A lot of trash collectors are like, ‘Oh, we know that plastic has value. And cardboard. And all this paper stuff,’ but they don’t know about coconut shells,” said Febriadi. “There are a lot of coconut shells in Bali and there’s actually a market for it,” he told reporters at the Google “Solve with AI” conference in Tokyo, Japan. “So we tell them, ‘If you collect coconut shells – and we know you can collect several kilograms every day – and [sell them for] this much money, we can help sell them and you’ll make extra money for what you do,” he said. Gringgo currently made its income from reselling the collected waste, but Febriadi said that going forward, the foundation planned on changing its revenue model and was testing several different models across the city toward this end. To tackle the problem of overlapping collection routes, Gringgo partnered with around 15 trash collectors to develop an app that tracks their movements and allows users to order a waste pick-up service. These efforts have enabled the foundation to map informal waste collection in the city. Febriadi said the 15 collectors had increased their monthly income to Rp 9 million since they partnered with Gringgo. As for improving the trash collectors’ ability to identify recyclable and reusable waste, Gringgo has been working this year with Singapore’s Datanest – a data science start-up – to develop an algorithm they call Ocean Plastic Prevention AI that will automatically identify recyclable waste and its sales value. “The idea is that [trash collectors] take a picture [of the waste] before they sort it and [the AI shows that] there’s a plastic bottle here and a diaper there. We show the value [of each item] and eventually, where
they can sell it,” said Datanest cofounder Thibaud Plaquet. He told The Jakarta Post that Datanest was currently compiling thousands of photographs of trash and labeling each recyclable or saleable item using the human eye. The labeled photos would then be fed into a machine learning algorithm for automating the waste identification process. Plaquet expected to have an operational algorithm by October. Gringgo’s website currently prices aluminum cans at Rp 11,000 per kilogram, newspapers at Rp 3,000 per kg and clear plastic bottles at Rp 4,000 per kg. It also displays a map showing over 300 trash collection and selling points in Denpasar.
To fund its expansion, Gringgo raised $50,000 from angel investors and $25 million from Google’s Impact Challenge, part of Google’s AI for Social Good initiative Plaquet said that Gringgo had budgeted $500,000 for developing the algorithm. The foundation has plenty of room for growth, as the Indonesia Plastic Recycling Association (ADUPI) estimates that its members process 400,000 tons of plastic each year – less than 1 percent of the 3-4 million tons of plastic produced annually. “The recycling industry has grown rapidly in Indonesia, especially for high-value plastics such as PET and PP. Their recycling rates are over 50 percent,” said ADUPI chairwoman Christine Halim, as quoted by several media outlets. Gringgo is also looking to expand its operations to other cities that are demographically similar to Denpassar. Febriadi said these cities would have a population range of 500,000-700,000 and modern urban environments, and that Makassar in South Sulawesi was one potential expansion destination. “Jakarta is not on our radar at the moment,” he said. “Why? Because Jakarta is even bigger than Singapore. It’s [like] a whole country on its own, so it’s much more complex. We need more resources. With our current capacity, it would be suicide to enter Jakarta,” he said, laughing. [The Jakarta Post July 12, 2019]

The Fun Factoid Festival Here is another instalment of Trivia quiz-worthy titbits, followed by some ‘Did you know..?’ facts you can add to your EQ (educational quotient). The world is full of wonders and provides great fodder for dinner table conversations and a spark for lagging first date get-to-know-each other chats. The national flag of Nepal has a very odd shape and it is the only one in the world to buck the conventional rectangular or square contour. In fact, it’s the only one in the world with a double-pennon, a combination of two single pennons. The choice of colours was the only nod to convention. The grouping of white, red and blue is very popular, appearing on a majority of the world’s country flags. The upper triangle includes a white stylized moon; the lower has a white sun. The biggest swimming pool in the world, one of pharaohnic proportions with a length of 1.013 km and containing 250.000 m3 (or 250 million litres, the equivalent of 80 Olympic sized swimming pools), is in Algarrobo in Chile. It parallels the beach at San Alfonso del Mar and opened for public pleasure in December 2016 at a cost of 2 billion USD to build. That awesome natatorium was captured by EyeSkyDrone. You can view it in all its splendour on YouTube. The most expensive book in the world is the 16th century, 72 page Codex Leicester, better known as the Da Vinci Codex as it contains a collection of scientific writings and theories by Leonardo Da Vinci on astronomy, the properties of water, rocks, and fossils; air, and celestial light. It was bought at auction in 1994 by Bill Gates for a cool USD 30.8 million. The codex was scanned into digital image files and made available to museums and exhibitions around the world.
A codex is technically an ancient manuscript text in book form, usually written on papyrus, vellum or paper. Many codices have survived like the Florentine Codex, a 16thcentury ethnographic research study in Mesoamerica, the Dresden Codex, a 13th C manuscript on Mayan civilisation, the Leningrad Codex, an 11th C manuscript of the Hebrew bible, and so on. Not all codices are old or ponderous tomes of intellectual weight or content; some are delightfully entertaining like the Codex Seraphinianus, created by Italian architect Luigi Serafini and published in 1981. It is an otherworldly, surreal, bizarre and phantasmagorical encyclopaedia created by an overheated imagination, on topics like science, art, flora & fauna. The illustrations are a mindboggling amalgamation of style from iconoclastic artists like Hieronymus Bosch, Da Vinci, Escher and Dali. All written in a made-up language noone can decipher. Animal House - Did you know that the biggest bee in the world is found in Maluku? It was discovered by British entomologist Alfred Wallace and is known as Wallace’s giant bee. Wingtip to wingtip it is the size of a large chicken egg and sports pliers-like jaws. It is also elusive and difficult to find; hence it had not been spotted for 40 years. But it is not extinct as early this year conservationists were able to photograph it in the forests of northern Maluku. Another giant specimen of its species is the Malabar Squirrel, found in the forests of south, central and eastern India. From nose to tail end this rodent measures a cool 91 cm (36 inches) thanks to its long plume tail. To boot, it has a gorgeous rainbow coloured coat. Though not extinct, its numbers are declining due to habitat destruction caused by deforestation. The Red Panda is another type of endearing animal. Except this one is on the endangered list as their habitat is shrinking due to deforestation and they are hunted for their distinctive thick russet pelts. They are the sole survivors from the family of Ailuridae, raccoon-type mammals now all extinct. Much smaller than the better known giant pandas-to which they are not related - they are about the size of a big domestic cat and they live mostly in the Eastern Himalayas. Losing this breed would be a taxonomical disaster for the world as it would totally wipe out an entire family of species.
Have you seen a peccary lately? Though resembling a pig and sometimes referred to as Barbados pig, they are apparently not in the same family. Peccaries are New World animals, strictly found in South and Central America and some Caribbean islands like Barbados and Trinidad. They are feral, very aggressive in nature and have a strong, musky odour. Archaeologists have discovered peccaries are probably descended from European pigs left behind by Spanish or Portuguese sailors of the 16th century as a source of food for future visits. A bit of science - Eminent scientists say that the North magnetic pole is decidedly shifting towards Siberia due to liquid iron or magnetite sloshing around within the planet’s outer core. No, the geographic or true North pole does not move but the magnetic North pole-the one indicated by your compass -does and it moves either right or left of the true North. The difference between true and magnetic north is called magnetic declination and it varies depending on the position of the observer and changes over time. That shifting is due to Earth’s physical structure and the way it spins. Earth’s inner core is solid iron surrounded by a molten outer core. The Earth itself spins on its axis. The inner core spins as well, and it spins at a different rate than the outer core. This creates a dynamo effect, or convections and currents within the core. This is what creates the Earth’s magnetic field. Those of you who have lived in Bali over the last 10 years and have seen the sun setting further to the north, as observed from the same spot at the same time of year, may well wonder if that phenomenon is tied to this radical shift of the magnetic pole. UK physicist Stephen Hawkings, who is buried close to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey, has the formula for his most influential theory engraved on his tombstone. It is called the Hawking radiation concept and it explains how energy and even matter could escape the immense gravitational pull of a black hole. This concept transformed our understanding of physics and was a giant step at bridging the gap between quantum physics and relativity.
