MARS EXCAVATION FOR WATER ON
S
hould we ever want to set up any sort of base or colony on Mars, it's inevitably to require water to support life, but transporting enough liquids to the Red Planet is likely to be impractical. With NASA and others planning manned Mars missions, a team based in Singapore is already working on a specialized Martian rover that could be used to "mine" for water below the planet's crimson surface. The Mars Aqua Retrieval System (MARS) is an early prototype of just such a prospecting rover, developed through a collaboration between the Singapore University of Technology and Design, and Australia's Gilmour Space Technologies. The basic idea is to build upon discoveries made by Curiosity and the Phoenix Mars Lander, among other, that indicate water is present on the Red Planet, either buried in its soil or in non-liquid forms like ice. MARS is designed to extract the water from the soil, collect and store it. Each cycle of the water-collection process involves using a rather basic locomotion system with two powered wheels to move to the target area, then lowering a microwave unit over the ground and using it to heat up the area for 20 minutes. The resulting steam then enters collection pipes leading to a condenser bag where it condenses and drips into a collection box. The whole cycle will seem familiar to anyone who knows anything about the distillation process. The team claims it’s been able to collect water from frozen soil at a rate of four grams per four minutes in tests. With a meager budget of just US$10,000, the team managed to create a prototype designed to function on Earth using familiar components including Arduino and Raspberry Pi units, but with the ability to also withstand 30 percent of Mars' temperature and pressure conditions. While this particular prototype won't be leaving Earth's atmosphere anytime soon, it may be available for the public to view at a space museum, astronaut training facility and rocket factory that Gilmour is building north of Australia's Gold Coast.

new gadget is aimed at helping smartphone users capture professional looking time lapses. Though Hobie is little more than a modified kitchen timer, it allows users to record panning time lapse shots at almost any angle. Designer Mattia Ciucciarelli explains that his use of a kitchen timer as a basis for the Hobie gives "new life to an already existing product." Ciucciarelli says he chose the specific timer in question because it is the most resistant, its shape is the simplest and it's easy to replace as it is commonly found. The design also gives new life to smartphone time lapse turntables. The Hobie isn't an entirely new concept, with products like the Spin pod already on the market. It does, however, provide some clever features and functionalities. To begin with, the Hobie comprises a large static wheel mounted on top of the kitchen timer. A crossbar with bungees is able to rotate 360 degrees within the wheel. The bungees allow a user to secure a smartphone up to 8 cm (3 in) wide in place (sorry, Nexus 6 owners, that means your phablet is too big). The rotating crossbar means that the smartphone can be angled in almost any direction, overcoming a limitation of similar products that only allow for one angle. The Hobie can be used to create still or moving time lapses, with the latter set up using the wind-up mechanism of the kitchen timer. As a result of using this sort of mechanism, the timer does not require any batteries or charging. One downside, however, is that the speed of rotation cannot be altered – a quarter (90-degree) turn will always take 15 minutes. If all works as advertised, Hobie sounds like a simple, portable and cheap means of capturing time lapses with a smartphone. A Kick starter crowd funding campaign is under way for the device and, at the time of writing, it's possible for individuals who pledge from £24 (US$38) to receive one (assuming all goes to plan with the campaign and roll-out). Users who need a more sophisticated feature set will need to look elsewhere mind. Kick starter rewards units are expected to begin shipping in November this year.

PETITE EYE CRAMMED OLYMPUS E-M10 II DIALS UP THE HISTORICAL CHARISMA
lympus has revamped its entry-level OM-D mirror less camera with mod cons inherited from higher-end models and a simultaneous dose of nostalgic styling. The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II now boasts 5-axis image stabilization and a large high-res OLED viewfinder, along with a solid all-metal build, and distinctively retro dials and switches. The E-M10 II is a follow-up to the E-M10, and a little brother to the flagship E-M1 and the E-M5 II, which impressed us earlier this year. While those higher-end cameras are arguably designed to lure DSLR users into the mirror less fold, this model is aimed more at hobbyists and those who want to upgrade to an interchangeable lens camera from their smartphone or compact. Though that's not to diminish its own considerable photographic clout. Key specs include a 16.1-megapixel Micro Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm) Live MOS sensor paired with the True Pic VII image processor from the E-M1. This combo allows the camera to deliver the goods in a variety of lighting conditions and its ISO range reaches up to ISO 25,600. It's also pretty speedy too, it features an 81-area contrast detection auto focus system, and has burst shooting of up to 8.5 fps (frames per second) for up to 22 RAW frames. While those details might not sound too different to the original E-M10, there are a number of potentially upgradeworthy improvements. The main one being the inclusion of Olympus' impressive 5-axis in-body image stabilization system which helps deliver sharp images and smooth video by moving the sensor to counter camera movement. While video recording is now possible at up to Full HD 1080p 60/50 fps, the E-M10 II has unfortunately only gained 4K capabilities in its time-lapse mode. Around back there's another improvement in the form of a large, more detailed, OLED electronic viewfinder with 2,360k dots. This allows users to compose shots in a more tradition manner, while being able to see the impact of changing settings. Sitting under the EVF is a tilt able 3-inch LCD
touchscreen with 1,037k dots which can be used for smartphone-like touch focusing. The E-M10 II measures 120 x 83 x 47mm (4.7 x 3.3 x 1.9 in) and weighs 390 g (13.8 oz) making it a very compact mirror less camera, but its all-metal body should make it feel solid too. As with other OM-D cameras, the E-M10 II has a retro design, but ups the ante from its predecessor by boasting chunky metal dials with milled edges and a retro-styled On/Off switch. The dials are now all located on the right of the camera for easier operation. Built-in Wi-Fi allows easy sharing and remote control via the Olympus OI. Share app on a smartphone. There are a number of accessories available for the camera including an optional quick-release camera grip which could come in handy when shooting with larger lenses, and using a Micro Four Thirds mount means there are plenty of lens options out there. The Olympus OM- E-M10 II will be available from the end of the month, priced at US$650 body-only, or bundled with a 14-42-mm lens for $800. It will come in all-black or black and silver options.

TRAVEL & TOURISM www.emalmag.com
LARRY FOGG TRIP TO BATAM, I had been told that many people from Singapore go to Batam Island, Indonesia for short weekend trips and I decided to also visit Batam Island. Since I already had airline tickets to Bangkok, I continued on from Bangkok to Singapore. Batam Island is approximately 12 miles south of Singapore and easily accessible by ferry. The island of Batam is a part of the Riau Islands Province of Indonesia, and is one of 3,200 islands in the province. Since Batam became part of a Special Economic Zone with Singapore in 2006, it has experienced high population growth rates. As a free trade zone, Batam has also become a major harbor and industrial zone and is the site of many factories operated by foreign companies. In addition, as a free trade zone, Batam also attracts tourists who are interested shopping for bargain prices. On next day afternoon, I took the Batam Ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore to the NongsaPura International Ferry Terminal at Batam Island, Indonesia. After disembarking from the ferry, I saw a man who was a representative of the Batam Bay View Resort. Since I had a reservation for that hotel, I approached him and gave him my confirmed reservation voucher. Although he was there to meet another couple, he immediately volunteered to assist me with my visa on arrival and then transported us to the hotel in the hotel courtesy bus. Batam Bay View Resort is situated at a point with views across a bay toward Nagoya city to the west and across the
Singapore Strait to Singapore. Nearly every room in the hotel has an ocean view. Although the resort location is close to the Nongsa International Ferry Terminal, it is more than 30 minutes by taxi to Nogoya, the largest city on Batam. There are other resorts and several very nice golf courses nearby. After I settled into my room, I went for a walk to become familiar with the main buildings and to explore the resort grounds. There were not many people at the resort, and I enjoyed the scenery and the view across the strait to the Singapore skyline. Later I stopped by the Concierge Desk where I met Mr. Harrys Munandar. We talked about travel in general and about sights to see while at Batam. He told me that the resort is normally crowed only on the weekends. He also said that most of the tourists come from Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and South Korea. In addition, he said that most tourists come to Batam for a weekend of duty-free shopping and playing golf. I told him that I normally hire a car and driver for local sightseeing, and he said that he thought it would be possible to hire a taxi for a day once I figured out where I wanted to go and that he would accompany me as a guide. We exchanged mobile phone numbers and I booked a local city tour for the following day to get a closer look at Batam Island. The city tour was primarily a tour for tourist shopping and some limited local sightseeing. Three other people joined me on the tour and our first stop was at a chocolate store. Other stores consisted of a spice store, several outlet stores, and a large shopping mall. Sightseeing

stops included the Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple, the Batam Go Kart Center, and Batam Miniature House Indonesia. In addition, we ate lunch at the Golden Prawn restaurant. The Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple is one of the largest Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia and is reported to be the number one tourist attraction in Batam. It is located in the Batam Center area of Batam.

from Ache, Bali, Bangka-Belitung, and continuing until Maluka and Papua. I was really impressed with this park and would rate it as a must visit place when traveling to Batam Island. We stopped for lunch at the Golden Prawn Restaurant which is advertised as one of the best seafood restaurants on Batam. We enjoyed a large multi-course seafood lunch before continuing our tour. The restaurant was huge and was not at all crowded. Although the food was good, I believe that the Amazon Restaurant adjacent to the Nongsa International Ferry Terminal served better seafood. After returning to the hotel, I met with Harrys and we discussed a day of Batam Island
The main chamber consists of statues of Buddha, and the side chambers feature Goddess of Mercy (Guan Yin) and Guan Gong deities. The temple was beautiful and had unique white statues in the large area in front of the temple. A young couple on my tour wanted to drive Go Karts at the Batam Go Kart Center. After watching them beginning to drive the go karts, I noticed a poster advertising Batam Miniature House Indonesia. The tour guide said that it was very close and I went there while the folks continued to drive the go karts. Batam Miniature House Indonesia is a park that features replicas of 33 traditional houses from 33 provinces in Indonesia. The park has a long winding path with the 33 houses spread out at many places. The houses are made from cement and have a height of around 1.5 meters. They come from various provinces starting
sightseeing. Harrys said that he would rent a car and would drive me as well as be my guide for a full day trip. Since Harrys was a long time resident of Batam and had spent much of his life there, I knew that this arrangement would be perfect. Harrys met me at the hotel with a late model rental SUV for our sightseeing day trip at about 9 AM. I left the itinerary of where we would visit up to him and he made sure that I received a very comprehensive sightseeing tour of Batam. We drove first to the Kabil Industrial Park and then past the LNG Power Grid facility to the Telaga-Bunggur domestic port where he pointed out the Port Master Building. We continued on to the nearby picturesque Kampung Tua – Old Chinese Village, where we observed the Navy Post, a Chinese temple, and the Landlord’s House. We continued on to the very large and beautiful Mesjid Raya Mosque, which we walked through. From the mosque we walked across the road to see the Mayor’s House, the Senate House, Harris Hotel, the Mega Mall, and then took some photos of the white “WELCOME TO BATAM” sign on the side of a small nearby hillside. Mr. Harrys commented that the sign is the Batam equivalent of the famous white “HOLLYWOOD” sign in Los Angeles, California, USA. Our next stop was at the Toa Bek Kong Bio old Chinese temple. This is also a very picturesque temple and well worth a visit. Continuing on to the Nagoya business center, we stopped at the Yong Kee Istimewa Restaurant for lunch. Mr. Harrys said that this is the best local restaurant in Batam to get Batam noodles for lunch. We both had the Batam noodles, which were delicious. After lunch, we drove past a Christian church with a gold dome that looked like it could be a mosque from a distance. We also stopped by Harrys’ motorcycle shop where he keeps the bikes that he races in competition and then visited the Tahu Saluyu Factory which makes tofu every day. It is owned and operated by Mr. Harrys’ mother. I was given two packages of freshly made tofu to take back to my hotel for the chef to prepare for me.

We drove to the KTM Resort in the Sakubang District to see the large statue of Buddha before continuing on to Sakumbang Lake which Mr. Harrys referred to as his “favorite make-out place.” Our next stop was at the Mata Lucuing mini zoo which was an interesting walk through the forest with a few animals and birds in captivity. As we continued driving toward the Barelang Bridge, we drove through the local second-hand market and past the Temiang Cemetery which was home to both Christian and Muslim gravesites. South of Batam are several small islands that are connected by a chain of six bridges that are collectively called Barelang Bridge. In addition, “Barelang” refers to the islands themselves. Bridge No. 1, Tengku Fisabilillah, connects Batam and Tonton Island and is 642 meters long. It is a cable-stayed bridge with two pylons 118 meters high and a main span of 350 meters. It is also the most popular of the six bridges and is the one photographed for tourism brochures. Bridge No. 2 connects Tonton and Nipah Islands. Bridge No. 3 connects Nipah and Setoko Islands. Bridge No. 4 connects Setoko and Rempang Islands. Bridge No. 5 connects Rempang and Galang Islands. Bridge No. 6 connects Galang and Galang Baru Islands. The high pylons of the Tengku Fisabilillah bridge came into view above the hills well before we arrived at the entrance to the bridge. As we crossed the bridge it reminded me a little of the
Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, USA. We stopped on Bridge No. 2 to take some photos of the Tengku Fisabilillah bridge before continuing the drive South. After crossing Bridge No. 5 to Galang Island, we visited the Galang Refugee Camp. The Galang Refugee Camp accommodated Indochinese refugees from 1979 until 1996. Approximately 250,000 refugees passed through this camp. The camp had two sections: Camp One and Camp Two. Camp One was for newly arrived refugees, those who had not yet been approved for resettlement in the United Stares or another third country settlement. After approval, refugees were transferred to Camp Two where they received instructions in English as well as cultural information regarding life in the main resettlement countries. Camp Two also housed Cambodians who had been camped and approved in Thailand. Policing was done by the Indonesian Police, while caseworkers and legal officers
29 EMAL
from participating countries and the United Nations came in as needed. After crossing Bridge No. 5, we arrived at the refugee camp during the late afternoon. The sign at the entrance to the Galang Refugee Camp refers to the camp as Camp Vietnam Galang Island. As we drove through the camp I was amazed at the large area encompassed by Camp Vietnam. In addition to the buildings and a refugee graveyard, some of the boats used to transport refugees were on display. There is also a small museum in one of the administration buildings. We arrived at the museum just as it was about to close and the
www.emalmag.com
caretakers kept it open for us to tour the museum. This is an interesting place to visit, and I wished that I had more time to walk around the camp. Instead of going on to Bridge No. 6, we drove west across large hills to the Mirota Resort located on a beach to watch the sunset. Mr. Harrys said that before a change in the governing officials, this area was to become home to a large casino, which is why the resort was built. After a new Government official arrived, however, he cancelled the casino plans and this resort now continues to struggle; it has no restaurant, but very nice sunsets. Dusk arrived as we began our journey back to Batam Island. Along the way, we passed fresh water fish farms and stopped at one farm to look at some Dragon Fruit plants. As we approached the Tengku Fisabilillah bridge, Harrys stopped and we each purchased an ear of freshly grilled sweet corn with a spicy sauce. We stopped in the middle of the bridge and ate our ears of corn before continuing to Batam. As we approached the city, Harrys took me to Satay Paradise where I ate lamb satay for dinner while he had the chicken satay. After dinner, I noticed a shop that sells perfume refills – a first for me. Before returning to the hotel, we visited
the Waterfront City area, the night market, the Regatta Kids Park, and the Nagoya Entertainment District, which Mr Harrys referred to as “white guys’ village.” As we got close to the hotel, we stopped at a Chinese Cemetery on top of a high hill and looked at the view of Batam at night including the illuminated white “WELCOME TO BATAM” hillside sign. Our last stop of the night was in an old village where there is only one house that is constructed on stilts, and I took my last photo of the full day trip with Mr. Harrys. After returning to the hotel at about 9:30 PM, I placed the tofu in the refrigerator in my room and all I could say was “WOW, what a great day trip we had!” The following day, Harrys came to my room and we went through my photos from the day before to properly identify each photo. That evening, the chef at the hotel dining room cooked the freshly made tofu from Mr. Harrys’ mom’s factory, and it was very good. Meeting Harrys was the highlight of my trip to Batam, and I continue to keep in touch with him. He was trained as a chef and served as a chef on cruise ships. He returned to Batam and has a travel website for adventure travel in addition to being the concierge at the Batam Bay View Resort. His email address is h.r.harrysmunandar@gmail.com.

Harrys arranged for my ferry return ticket boarding pass to Singapore and accompanied me to the Nongsa International Ferry Terminal on the morning that I departed Batam Island to return by ferry to Singapore to catch my flight to Bangkok.
