Tiny Toon INSPIRES STREET KIDS THROUGH BREAK-DANCE

By: Cheng Lita

While drug abuse and sexual transmission deceases are common issues, the Kingdom’s first Hip Hop training center plays a vital role to help educate vulnerable, marginalized, and discriminated youth of Cambodian society.

Founded by a Cambodian-American deportee, Tiny Toones opens its door in 2008 introducing hundreds of young adults to break-dance and Hip-Hop music. The center makes use of pop and contemporary culture and arts to raise awareness among those at high risk of HIV/AIDS and drug abuse, and it hopes to build and restore their selfconfidence and self-esteem.

Deported from the United States in 2004, 33-yearold Tuy Sobil (also known as KK), learned about HIV prevention and drug abuse at Korsang, a local NGO that has employed about a quarter of the

Cambodian-American deportees. Once jailed in California for armed robbery when he was 18, the lesson teaches him to help other people. The born-to-be-break-dancer is much loved by street kids, who mostly cannot afford formal education; they respect him as their dance master. According to American news magazine Time, in 2008 KK performed in Hong Kong in front of US President Bill Clinton.

Fund of Copenhagen, and Arts Network Asia provided support to Tiny Toones, and that the breakdancer master dedicates his full time to the center.

Later this year the center will become an independent non-profit organization after registering as an international NGO in Cambodia, several years after it was run as a project of Bridges Across Borders - Southeast Asia (BABSEA), an international non-government organization.

With hundreds of people stay and learn computer literacy, art, HIV/AIDS prevention, and lessons in English and Khmer in its Phnom Penh center, it also targets thousands more through its outreach program in Ra Rote Pleung, Svay Pak, and Tuol Kok.

Romi Grossberg, a Program Manager at Tiny Toones Center, says “Well, we are not only teaching the kids, the break-dancing but also teaching them having responsibility, breaking them to be confident, making them strong enough to survive and work to have family and do what they want to be.�

PHNOM PENH YOUNGSTERS EMBRACE

KOREAN FASHIONS

By Cheng Lita

After many years indulging in Thai lifestyle, in particular in fashion trends, Phnom Penh teenagers have turned away from the neighboring nation and become more influenced by Korean pop culture. New Korean outfits are trendy here in the Cambodian capital.

“In the past years, teenagers looked for Thai products, but today they are looking for all things Korean” said Lida, an owner of collection shops in both Pencil supermarket and Sovanna shopping mall.

To fill their wardrobe, young Cambodians normally spend about US$ 20 or less on a new fashionable item like a shirt or a pair of pants or jeans.

Phnom Penh markets have more choices to offer, especially local products; shoppers can easily find lower quality, less trendy items than those imported. “Local products are quite simple, and many young people with deep pockets aren’t asking for them; they like something stylish, prefer-

15

ably Korean.” Lida added.

With a long pause, Lida hopes that local design will be a big hit, saying that “If we can do more in fashion design in the country, less Cambodian customers will ask for outfits from other countries.”

Most of the new fashions come from South Korea, Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Thailand.

A 19-year-old student at Pannasastra University of Cambodia, Raksmey Socheat said “Anything Korean is my style. Young people are catching up with this new trend.”

1) Pencil Supermarket, #15, St. Samdech Pan A place where you can find ‘Made in South Korea’. A num ber of stores are on the ground floor.

While shopping for new fashion items, you can easily have soft drinks in the air-conditioned supermarket.

2) City Mall Shopping Center, St. Monireth, next to the Olympic Stadium.

Several floors are dedicated to fashion and shoes stores, and you can find any accessories, including rings, ear-rings, bag, and belt.

3) Golden Sorya Mall, #80, Pasteur (St. 51), Corner Street 154 A new shopping center near Sorya Shopping Mall.

4) Toul Tom Poung market (also known as Russia Market), #170A, St. 450 The market is very popular among foreign visitors to Phnom Penh. Despite it’s a gift shopping center for travelers, there are a number of items to keep local teenagers to visit at least once a month, if not a week. Most products, made in the Kingdom, are touted as not pricey.

THE VISIBLE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH

TATTOO

By Koam Tivea and Veng Rachana When it comes to boxing, E Phouthang and his younger brother Outh Phouthang pop up in the conversation. As Cambodia’s most successful boxers, largely known for their outstanding martial arts, they also bear many tattoo signs on various parts of their bodies.

Outh Phouthang has 9 tattoos, six of which are claimed to be holy. He said he always believes in the magical power of his six holy tattoos which always makes him stronger to defeat his opponents. “A grand dragon on my back and a large eagle on my chest make me strong when fighting, while a

sword of monkey on my left fingers protects me from all dangers,” said the younger Phouthong, adding that “A buffalo on my right arm makes my elbow as sharp as its horn, so that I can strike my opponent easily when I elbow him, while Yantras [Sanskrit word for “instrument” or “machine”] on my back and my right fingers help me to overpower all of my opponents.”

47-year-old tattooist Chan Trea says in an interview that Cambodian people reckon the magical, ritual power of tattoos, which can ward off evil or harm; some others tend to believe that those magical tattoos could bounce off a bullet or frag

ments from a hand grenade. These types of tattoos are Yantra and Tantras, (looms or weavings).

Chan Trea added that the magical signs can be very powerful only when the devotees put faith in their tattooed symbol and adhered to the vow of abstinence from certain vices required by their holy masters. If they faithfully kept the abstinence, not even a gun would fire and neither would a knife could cut them.

Some of the typical abstinences tattoo devotees usually have are holding religious ceremony every holy day, preventing from eating dog’s meat, and

18 keeping 5-holy Buddhist abstinences, which includes killing, stealing, cheating, drinking alcohol, and lusting for woman.

Unlike tattooing simple signs, tattooing magical Yantra and Tantras require the masters to conduct a ceremony before inscribing the tattoos on the devotees’ body parts.

“I have to put the incense sticks and pray in front my shrine to ask for holy magic to make the Yantras and Tantras magically effective before tattooing,” said Chan Tra, adding some masters even went on to recite the mantras while tattooing.

When finishing spotting the tattoos, the masters also conduct another ceremony, mostly on the holy Buddhist day or full-moon day to make the Yantras and Tantras fully effective.

As Cambodians witness technological development and scientific advancement, not so many people trust in ritual tattoo symbols.

Soldiers at the battlefields as well as boxers, who are usually at danger, are more likely the great believers in this mysterious shield.

However, for young Cambodians, tattooing, not Yantra or Tantra, means being stylish.

“Young people want to beautify their body by having stylish tattoos on some hidden parts of their body, such their waists or necks,” said tatoost Chan Tra, adding that this kind of tattoos is the most sought after in recent years.

Vong Noy, a professional boxer, said he has two tattoos on his body, one of which is a dragon and the other one is a stylish symbol, adding that he has them not because they were magical, but because they make him look attractive.

At least ten thousand years ago, tattoos were found in Ancient Egypt, European tribes, and Japan. The first man who was found having tattoos was Ötzi the Iceman, whose tattoos consisted of

simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. These tattoos were thought to be a form of healing because of their placement which resembled acupuncture.

Tattoos have existed in Cambodian society since Angkor era, according to the record of Chi Takwann, a Chinese author, who wrote in his book that Khmer soldiers as well as ordinary people wore Yantras tattoos on their bodies at that time.

In the past, tattooing is a manual, laborious works with sketching and follow by padding the skin with the tattoo ink, and the tattooist moved swiftly on the skin with a sharp instrument like a sharppointed bayonet, piercing the skin in rhythm like a sewing machine until the symbol emerge.

These days, tattooists use printing plate to duplicate the symbol, after which he uses tattoo needles fastened to a machine to get the job done. These modern instruments helped accelerate the process of tattooing, taking tattooists only a few minutes if it’s a small tattoo, which would otherwise take hours if he uses the traditional method.

The tattoo artist said that the price of tattoo depended on its size. “If it is small, it costs about 1 or 2 dollars, but if it is large, price can be 100 or 200 dollars,” he said.

As tattoos become also more stylish among Hollywood star such as Angelina Jolie, tattooing is a growing business for those looking shield and decorate their body with artistic symbols.

19 What Happen this month?

CAMBODIAN P’CHUM BEN

DAY FESTIVAL OR THE FESTIVAL

FOR ANCESTOR T

From 7th-9th October 2010

he fifteenth day, of the tenth month, of the Khmer calendar marks the Pchum Ben festival. This is a time when the spirits of the dead ancestors walk the Earth. And the living can ease their suffering by offering them food to eat.

Pchum Ben is the most significant religious celebration in Cambodia. This is the day to commemorate their love ones who past away. The time to reunite the families stays together and pray together in the Pagoda.

Feast of all souls, the day on which special prayers are offered for the souls. All Cambodian are preparing for these events, most of them go to their provinces for the reunion of the family, and others stay in the city. Every one in the city and provinces are busy for the preparation of their altar offering foods, fruits, flowers, Chinese incense and Material possession, in the form of paper-made “playhouse” “car” “money” are made available to the dead person intending prosperity for the departed souls.

Another important practice during the festival is that as early as 4am in the morning, people walk around the pagoda and throw rice balls around the fence of the pagoda. Their ghost relatives are waiting to pick up the rice ball to eat.

The Buddhist religion is such an integral part of the Khmer culture. Every Cambodian family-centered their way of life to managed their religious devotion.

KAMPONG THOM’S

PICNIC PLACE

By Koam Tivea and Veng Rachana

W

hile Siem Reap’s Angkor Wat temple attracts tourists from the around the world, Cambodia has much more to offer. Situated in the country’s center, Kampong Thom province has a number of historical tourism sites; a growing number of foreign tourists find pre-Angkorean Sambor Prei Kuk a temple to delve deeper into Cambodia’s ancient history.

For those who take an overnight stay in the provincial town, Phnom Santuk, the most favorite picnic place of local residents, is worth as a visit.

Arriving at the mountain, visitors usually shy away from reaching the summit of the mountain.

In the past years, local laborers assist you to get to the top in a sling hammock. Climbing roughly about 800 steps upward, you must feel exhausted; however, you will forget all the tiredness when you

21

see the spectacular view of forest, rice field, and villagers’ house lying around the mountain. Under the clear blue sky and the smell of tropical air, you will enjoy spending time longer.

Three large Buddha statues reaching Nirvana with more than 10-meter in length stay on the mountain top. The statues are at the center of worship for villages and visitors, while many other smaller Buddha sculptures were carved of stones.

As visitors enjoy sightseeing and praying, some people drop small coins into a crevice between the large and boulders, which people believe that the sound of the coins brings good luck and happiness to them although it’s superstitious for some.

Another incredible spot to see is a large tank of water where a magical pumice stone floats in the

water. The mountain is also home to hundreds of monkeys.

Locals also serve meal, which includes fried chicken, roasted fish, Prohok, and several other Khmer cuisines at a reasonable price. The breathtaking view from the mountain top gives people a relaxing time, particularly to get away from busy, week-long work.

Just like some other places, there is a fascinating tale about Phnom Santuk. Once upon a time, a frightened king arrested a former queen and her son and set adrift on a raft in open water. The raft ran ashore on a floating speck of land and the mother prayed to the full moon to protect her and her son since they were honest people. Immediately, the little speck of land transformed into a big, beautiful island paradise, which is now called Phnom Santuk.

Asakusa Now decidedly relaxed, Asakusa was once the heart of Edo’s low city, home to artisans, merchants and prostitutes. Its small lanes and winding alleyways are still full of surprises, from venerable doll shops to virtuosic drum makers such as Taiko-kan. For straight gift shopping, Nakamise-dōri is not bad for souvenir trinkets – try the back streets for better-quality stuff. The long stretch of Kappabashi-dōri also yields uniquely Japanese curiosities in its little culinary-supply shops.

You can shop ’til you drop in Tokyo – just watch the Japanese. Here, people shop as they work – long and hard – and while many of the items are taken home and eventually worn or indulged in by the buyer, an equal amount is used as gifts to impress those in complex social and business relationships. Above all, the craving for new products – shinhatsubai – is insatiable, enough to fuel a chain specialising in the most popular new goods. The central dispensers of most goods are depāto (department stores), many of which are owned by the companies that also operate the train lines – hence the sprawling retail clusters around the busiest train stations.

Of course, Tokyo has an abundance of smaller, more eccentric shops. Many are found on the backstreets of Harajuku, Shibuya and Ebisu and display items that are lovingly designed and crafted. Trendy Shibuya, a haven for teenagers always surfing the latest trends, has innumerable original storefronts tucked between chain stores.

Shinjuku A few stops east of Shinjuku, the height of buildings descend to a more human scale.

A stroll up the Kagurazaka slope from Iidabashi Station will turn up several shops selling geta (traditional wooden sandals) and drawstring purses made from lavish kimono fabric. Elsewhere in the area, wedged in unexpected places between pharmacies, groceries and pachinko (vertical pinballgame) parlours, are shops carrying goods like Czech puppets and hand-painted kites. Jimbōchō is the place to go for rare books, both Japanese and English.

6

Shibuya Shibuya is the fountain of teen trendiness in Japan. If you’re over 30 you might feel way too old, but just cruise and amuse yourself in the madness.

Music shops and cheap, outrageous apparel are everywhere, as are the hip kids who come to primp and pose. At weekends, the street in front of the 109 Building closes to all but foot traffic.

9

Ikebukuro Prices on everyday commodities like eyeglasses may be slightly cheaper in Ikebukuro – come here to buy no-frills stuff, not Prada. Ikebukuro has big department stores, but it’s never quite taken off as a shopping destination. What it is good for is bargains on wares you’ll find in other parts of the city. If you’re an anime or manga fan, check out the shops along Otome Rd by the Sunshine City complex.

10

Odaiba Odaiba was designed as an entertainment and shopping mecca, so it should come as no surprise that two of its main attractions are malls with views over the water. You’ll find both big-name designers and small shops here. Venus Fort is worth a peek to take in its timed sunrise and sunset (artificial, of course).

23 MORE WAY TO SEE JAPAN

Cherry blossom season Springtime in Japan is when the country watches and waits for the first sakura (cherry) trees to burst into bloom. Starting from Kyūshū in the south sometime in March, regular blossom forecasts keep the public updated as the sakura zensen (cherry tree blossom line) advances northward, usually passing the main cities of Honshū in early April. Once the fragile pink and white sakura start to bloom, their beauty is celebrated through the country.

During this time, people flock to parks and squares for hanami (cherry blossom viewing). The romance is fleeting – lasting not much longer than a week. The cherry flower season usually falls in late March/early April, following the plum blossoms in February and peach blossoms in March.

Hot springs in Japan Hot water percolates up out of the ground from one end of Japan to the other. The Japanese word for a hot spring is onsen, and there are more than 3000 of them in the country, more than anywhere else on earth – it’s like Iceland on steroids. In Japan, it is not an unusual or even decadent way to pass time soaking in a tub of bubbling hot water.

KYOTO’S LIVING ART OF THE GEISHA

Catching a glimpse of a geisha scurrying to an appointment in the narrow streets of Kyoto’s Gion entertainment district is a moment of pure magic. With their startling white faces and brilliant kimono, they seem equal parts alien and apparition. If you’re like most travellers, you may find it hard to believe your own eyes when you see one of these exquisite beings.

According to most estimates, there are about 1000 geisha in Japan, and many of them live and work in Kyoto, where they are properly known as geiko. Kyoto is also home to tomaiko (apprentice geiko), who are girls between the ages of 16 and 20 who are in the process of completing the four or five years of study it takes to become a fully fledged geiko. It’s easy to tell the difference between the two: Maiko wear elaborate hairpins in their own hair and elaborate kimono, while geiko wear wigs with only the simplest ornamentation (usually just a boxwood comb) and simpler kimono.

A living tradition The origins of today’s geisha (geiko and maiko) can be traced back to the Edo Period (1600–1868), although they became most popular during the Taisho Period (1912–1926). To answer the most common question regarding geisha: they are most definitely not prostitutes. Rather, geisha are highly skilled entertainers, who entertain guests at private parties and dinners. In many ways, geisha are living embodiments of Japanese traditional culture: each one is well versed in traditional dancing, singing, musical instruments and occasionally other arts such as tea ceremony and ikebana (flower arrangement).

An evening of geisha entertainment often begins with an exquisite meal of kaiseki (Japanese haute-cuisine). During the meal, the geisha will chat with guests, pour drinks and light cigarettes. Following dinner, the geisha may dance to music provided by a jikata, who plays the traditional, three-stringed shamisen.

Geisha may also engage the guests in a variety of drinking games, at which they excel, almost always resulting in guests getting progressively sozzled.

Geisha events Considering the cost of a geisha’s training and kimono, it’s hardly surprising that geisha entertainment is quite expensive: dinner for two guests with one geisha runs about US$700 and parties with a jikata and two or more geisha easily tops US$1000 (making geisha entertainment a better idea for groups of travellers than individuals). These days, some hotels and ryokan in Kyoto offer regular geisha events for guests. If you happen to be in Kyoto in the spring or fall, the geisha dances put on by the city’s five geisha districts should be considered must-sees. For those who want to arrange private geisha entertainment, it can be done through private tour companies and high-end ryokan and hotels.

Finally, if you spot a woman who looks like a geisha wandering through the tourist districts of Kyoto during the daytime trailed by a photographer, you can be pretty sure she’s a tourist who’s paid to be made up as a geisha, and not a real maiko or geiko!

Engage LG PUTTING 9.7-INCH COLOR, 19-INCH FLEXIBLE E-PAPER

DISPLAYS INTO PRODUCTION LG’s

shown off plenty of display prototypes that may or may not ever wind up in actual products, but it looks like two of them are about to get real -- a recent SEC filing has revealed that LG is expecting to put both a 9.7-inch color e-paper display and a 19-inch flexible e-paper display into mass production by the end of the year. Details beyond that are expectedly light -- including any word on what type of products they’ll be used in -- but the 19-inch display is apparently the same one we first saw back in January (pictured above). That could conceivably be used for a newspaper-sized device, or possibly things like digital signage, which might be a tad more likely given the constraints in tacking a touchscreen layer and other components on top of the display.

OSU BUCKEYE BULLET

2 SETS NEW BATTERY-POWERED

SPEED RECORD Ohio

State’s Buckeye Bullet 2 has just set a new battery-powered vehicle record after hitting a speed of 291 mph averaged over two separate runs done back-to-back in opposite directions.

Yes, it’s technically slower than the two-way land speed record of 300.992 mph the original Bullet set back in 2009, but that car was powered by hydrogen fuel cells. This year’s model instead was developed in partnership with boutique Monaco-based electric car manufacturer Venturi and replaced the fuel cells with lithium-ion batteries from A123 Systems. It’s also apparently a testing prototype for a new car that’s coming in 2011. Will that car hit these kind of world record speeds? Probably not, but we’re not letting that dash our newly formed geek fantasy of seeing it drag against a Tesla.

SIGMA SD15 DSLR GET REVIEWED:

UNIQUE, BUT NOT EVERYBODY

Sigma’s

certainly managed to get plenty of photographers’ attention with its line of Foveon sensor-equipped digital cameras, but it hasn’t exactly always managed to meet expectations. According to Photography Blog, it looks like that’s also the case for the company’s latest: the SD15. While the camera is described as ‘less of an obvious odd fish than its forebears,” the site says that it’s still best suited for photographers looking for a “challenge,” and that you likely won’t want to have it as your only DSLR. In particularly, Photography Blog found that while images exhibited less of the odd color casts and white balance issues of previous models, they still left quite a bit to be desired, especially at higher ISOs. On the upside, that Foveon sensor does still offer some capabilities that can’t be found elsewhere, and the site says that the camera is unique enough that it can’t bring itself to actively dislike it.

NIKON COOLPIX S1100PJ PROJECTOR CAM ARRIVES WITH USB PROJECTION TOUCHSCREEN Looks TELESTRATOR CAPABILITIES like those German Coolpix leaks were right on the money -- Nikon’s just announced the Coolpix S1100pj and the S5100. The S1100pj is a seriously hot update to the original quirky and lovable Nikon Coolpix S1000pj projector-cam: not only is it thinner and sleeker, but the projector is brighter at 14 lumens and can now beam images off a laptop over USB. The control scheme also looks to have been simplified, with a new three-inch 460,000-dot touchscreen taking over most duties and enabling a wild telestrator-style paint mode which lets you draw right on top of projected images in real-time. Camera-wise, it’s an iterative bump over the previous model: 14 megapixel sensor with 720p movie mode and ISO 6400 sensitivity, 28-140mm 5x optical zoom with five-way stabilizer, and the ability to detect faces, smiles and blinks. Perhaps best of all, MSRP has dropped $100 to $349, which actually makes it a somewhat reasonable consideration if you’re shopping higherend cams. Yep, we definitely want to play with one -- it’ll hit in a bunch of colors next month sometime.

The Coolpix S5100 is a bit less interesting, slotting in between the S6000 and S4000. Nothing too complicated here, just a 12.1 megapixel sensor with ISO 3200 sensitivity and a 720p movie mode, 5x optical zoom with four-way stabilization, and a nifty tripoddetection function that automatically tweaks shutter speed and exposure to produce blur-free images when the camera is handheld. It’ll be around $179+ in a bunch of colors when it hits in the end of the year.

FOLK ARTS Numerous traditional methods of fortune telling are considered as a legacy of old folk arts. Some of the divination techniques described in this section are written in history and dates back thousands of years... but others aren’t quite so ancient.

THE RING The divination technique can be used to uncover your future spouse. It helps you determine the probabilities of the marriage between you and a selected person.

To properly perform this method, you must have a photo of the person you love and a ring with a cotton string tied around the ring. With the photo in front of you, hold the string between your thumb and index finger and allow the ring to dangle above the photo. If the ring rotates in a circle, you will marry the person in the photo. If it swings back and forth, marriage will be unlikely. If the ring is still, then delays should be expected before any possible marriage. It’s also important to keep your mind clear while performing the technique to avoid the influence of wishful thinking.

You can dowse the photograph of your beloved with a ring to determine if your relationship will lead to marriage.

Always use three identical candles when practicing lynchnomancy. The candles should be used.

CANDLES Telling the future from the behaviour of candle flames is known as lynchnomancy. This method is a simple and easy form of divination that was very conventional in the ancient times when candles were the only form of illumination in a house. However, when you practice lynchnomancy, you must be

careful not to leave the candles burning unattended. You will be required to pay attention to the way the candle flames move, so you must place the candles away from any possible draughts. For instance, you’ll get a distorted response if you place the candles near an open window. Ideally, you should practise lynchnomancy in a room in which the windows and doors are closed.

THE THREE-CANDLES METHOD Choose three identical candles, none of which has been lit before. Place them in identical candlesticks or light each one so it creates a little was, then use this hot wax to anchor the base of the candle to a saucer. Arrange the candles in the shape of a triangle in the centre of a table and light them. Then sit quietly and watch the flames to see what happen next, while thinking of your question. Remember to keep the candles away from draughts. . If one flame burns brighter than the others, you’ll have good luck. . If one flame gutters and flickers, there will be a minor loss. . If one flame goes out, there will be a serious loss or a major setback. . If two flames flicker, there will be a surprise in your life. . If two flames flare up, you’ll be offered new opportunities.

Photo: SreyLeak Bun

. If two flames go out, your life will go through a dramatic phase. . If all these flames flicker, your circumastances will change for the better. . If all three flames go out, you’ll experience lifechanging events. . If all three flames burn steadily, you’ll make good progress in all areas of your life. . If all three flames flare up, you’ll have an unexpected triumph.

Asian Coleslaw

recipefinder

The dressing on this salad is peanut-based. If you have a food allergy to peanuts, you can substitute tahini for the peanut butter (or leave it out all together), and toasted sesame seeds for the peanuts.

Ingredients Ingredient * 1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter * 6 Tbsp vegetable oil * 1/2 teaspoon toasted (dark) sesame oil * 4 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar (if seasoned rice vinegar is not available, add a teaspoon or two of sugar to regular rice vinegar) * 4 cups thinly sliced cabbage (Napa, green, purple, or a combination) * 1/2 cup grated carrots * 1/4 cup toasted, salted, shelled, peeled peanuts Optional * Chopped fresh cilantro * Thinly sliced green onions or chives Method 1 Prepare dressing. Place peanut butter in a medium bowl. Add the vegetable oil and the toasted sesame oil and whisk until nicely smooth. Whisk in the seasoned rice vinegar and do a taste test. Depending on how you like your dressing, how salty your peanut butter is, how seasoned your rice vinegar is, you may want to add a little more vinegar, a little more sugar, or a little salt. (Makes about 3/4 cup of dressing.)

2 Toast the peanuts. Although the roasted peanuts from the store may already be cooked, you’ll get even better flavor with just a little toasting. Heat a small skillet on medium high heat and add the nuts to the pan. Do not ignore or the nuts can easily burn. Stir a little with a wooden spoon until the peanuts begin to get browned in spots and you can smell the toasting aromas. Remove peanuts from pan to a dish.

3 In a large bowl, toss the sliced cabbage, grated carrots, and peanuts together, and any other optional ingredients you care to add (like a little chopped cilantro or green onions). Right before serving, mix in the dressing.

Great with fish or burgers.

Apple Chicken Quesadilla

k lunch Make a quic eral kids rv se for your

Ingredients * 4 Flour tortillas (approximately 8-inches wide) * 1 cup cooked, shredded or chopped, chicken meat * 1/4 lb cheddar or Monterey jack cheese, sliced or grated * 1 apple, sliced * 1/4 cup salsa

Method 1 Heat a large skillet on medium high

heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet.

Flip it a couple of times with a spatula, then let it sit in the pan heating up until air pockets form and parts of the tortilla begin to puff up. Flip it again.

2 Place cheese slices on half of the tortilla, at least 1/2-inch from the edge of the tortilla. Add chicken pieces on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla over like an omelette, and press down on the folded tortilla with the spatula. Lower the heat to medium. At this point, if you have enough room in your skillet, you can add a second tortilla to the pan to begin to heat it up.

3 When the cheese inside the quesadilla has melted, remove the quesadilla to a cutting board. Open it wide and layer on apple slices and salsa. Fold the tortilla back again, and cut it into 3 triangles, as if you were cutting a pie. (You don’t have to cut the quesadilla into triangles, it just makes it easier for kids to eat.)

4 Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Makes 12 quesadilla triangles.

Want to enjoy optimal health and vitality now and in years to come?

M

any anti-ageing solutions on the market, from diet plans and supplements to skin creams and cosmetic procedures, promise to deliver fast –if not instant- results.

This may sound appealing, but according to Kate Mare and Dr Christopher Thomas, authors of Fast Living Slow Ageing (mileage Media, $34.95), if you really want to look great, feel fantastic, live longer and ward off age-related disease, you have to make a long-term investment in your health. This means optimizing your nutrient intake and physical and mental activity levels, while avoiding things that accelerate ageing, such as stress, free radicals and inflammation.

Here, we tap the authors’ advice on how to age slowly.

43

Is it true that longevity is ‘all in your genes ‘?

While some genes may affect lifespan or predispose us to some disease, less than, one-third of variability in human lifespan is due to inherited differences in our DNA. Our lifestyle, diet, activity and stress levels have a greater impact on lifespan and how fast we age. For example, although identical twin have exactly the same DNA they become easier to tell apart as they get older. Ageing is really a from of memory, where our experiences and exposure are cemented in our chemistry.

What is the slow ageing philosophy?

Slow ageing is about valuing your ageing and taking practical, sustainable and logical steps to look after it. Much of the discomfort and disease associated with ageing is due to choices we make, or fail to make, in earlier phases of our lives.

Slow ageing mean taking a close look at what you eat and drink, your work, stress and activity, as your choices will have a significant bearing on your future. Awareness and being engaged in your choices is only one aspect, though it also takes commitment together with setting practical goals, covered in The Seven Ageless Principles.

What do I need to know about inflammation?

Inflammation is one of our body’s defense and healing mechanisms that we need to fight infection and heal wounds.

However, left unchecked, it can lead to damage and disease. For example, chronic inflammation can accelerate loss of bone density and cognitive function, as well as destabilize the lining of blood vessels, contributing to heart attacks and strokes. It’s also a major producer of free radicals.

The simplest way to reduce inflammation is not to fee the fire.

Don’t overeat, quit smoking, get quality sleep and manage your stress. Also, avoid pro-inflammatory foods like fast food, junk

What are the best foods or a long life?

A diet that’s high in fresh produce is associated with a healthier and longer life. A simple way to make the most of any produce is to remember the SLOW food

acronym: Seasonal, Local, Organic and Whole. Foods that are in season are more likely to be fresh and richer in nutrients, and local produce is normally subject to less storage and handling. If you’re switching to organic, start by substituting foods with the highest chemical residue, such as A diet that’s high in fresh produce is associated with a healthier and longer life.

Reader How can I keep my brain Sharp?

Can exercise slow ageing?

Do good relationships play a part in ongevity?

It’s never too late to build additional brain reserves. Even in ageing adults, the brain can adapt to form new connections and generate new cells. A longterm commitments to keeping active –both mentally and physically can delay the impact of ageing on the brain and give us a good excuse to have fun!

Keep challenging your brain do crossword and puzzles; learn to play word association games.

Whatever mental activities you choose, keep your brain working on a daily basis.

If we’re sedentary, the risk of premature death and disease increase to that of a smoker. On the flip side, regular activity not only improves fitness and health, but also increases our lifespan by about three to five years.

The minimum activity levels is walking (or a similar activity) at a moderate pace for 30 minutes on most days. However, doing even more than this and including other types of exercise like strength training has extra health benefits. People with the highest levees of physical activity and fitness have the lowest risk of premature death and disease.

Social isolation can lead to mental stress, depression, decline and disease. Lonely heart suffers twice as many heart attacks and are four times, less likely to survive them. Cancer, stroke and other disease are also more common in people with fewer social and personal connections.

Put aside sometimes energy to foster and maintain your key relationships. These connections offer health benefits that are at least as important are those that flow from adopting healthy diets. Better still, combine the two shares a slow meal with a loved one or take a long walk with a friend.

How much sleep do I need for optimal health?

A common myth is that we all need eight hours of sleep every night. The amount of sleep we need to feel good varies among individuals, so there is no magic number. The most important determinant is simply how well you function during the day on the amount of sleep you get.

See how you are performing by keeping a log or journal. Do you tend to feel better on Mondays?

Are you making it through to the afternoon without flagging? If you’re having trouble sleeping, establish a pattern that suits your body and stick to it. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, and only go to bed when you’re sleepy.

45 Does Stress accelerate ageing?

Stress can be a killer. Even single periods of stress in our past can cast long shadow and may be associated with shorter life expectancy. Identifying the source of stress in our lives is the first step in controlling it. Write a journal and jot down what stresses you and what make your feel good over a week or month. Take note and make changes to increase feel good activities and to reduce stressful activities.

Allocate time purely for relaxation, whether it be going for a walk or to they gym, salsa classes, gardening, or arranging a short getaways. Deep breathing, yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and mediation also bolster stress resilience.

How can I keep my skin looking youthful?

When we despair about the onset of lines, wrinkles and pigmentation, we need look no further than our time in the sun for its origins. Four out of five

wrinkles, and most of the freckles on our faces, are due to sun exposure. Preventing sun damage with the use of broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF30+sunscreen, widebrimmed hats and protective clothing is the best way to slow skin ageing. Also, choose skin products high in antioxidants like coenzyme Q10 and polyphones that reduce sun damage.

A low-GI diet that’s rich in vegetable, nuts, legumes and olive oil is also beneficial.

Champagne Sorbet Ingredients * 1 1/2 cups sparkling wine or champagne * 1 cup white granulated sugar * 1 Tbsp light corn syrup * 1 teaspoon of lemon and or grapefruit zest * 1 1/2 cups fresh grapefruit juice * 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (Meyer if you have access to them) Method 1/ Put champagne, sugar, corn syrup, and zest into a saucepan. Bring to a vigorous boil so that the sugar completely dissolves, remove from heat.

2/ Strain into a stainless steel bowl (will help cool down faster), add the grapefruit juice and lemon juice. Chill completely. To do this, either place bowl in a larger bowl half-filled with ice water, and stir until champagne solution is completely cold, refreshing the ice in the outer bowl if necessary. Or you can cover with plastic wrap and chill in your refrigerator over night. I put the bowl in the ice compartment of our freezer for a couple hours, because it fits, chills quickly, and is far enough away from the other food in the freezer.

3/ Process the mixture in your ice cream maker (Amazon sells a good one) according to the ice cream maker directions. Transfer mixture to a storage container and freezer in your freezer until firm, at least 6 hours.

Makes about 1 quart.

Ask the Experts

good efficacy. The concern was that the last swine flu vaccine a number of years ago did cause a few rare cases of a condition called Guillain-Barre syndrome, but no cases to date have been shown to result in this condition with the most recent vaccine.

Q MEDICAL

I rely heavily on my mobile phone because of work. I am confused about the mixed messages about risks. What are your thoughts?

Q

I’m wondering whether I should have the flu vaccine. I’m in my late thirties and healthy, so do I now need the swine flu vaccination? and What about normal influenza?

A It’s important to note when the public health authorities suggest everyone in Australia are suggesting vaccination against swine flu. This is especially the case for people below the ages of 30 and those with chronic illnesses. But the reality is that as winter approaches, we are unsure whether swine flu will re-emerge in Australia as it has in the northern hemisphere during their recent winter. The real issue about swine flu is that it is caused by the H1N1 influenza virus, which has the same basic structure as the Spanish flu that killed about 50 million people at the end of World War I.

The Spanish flu came in two waves.

The first wave was not so severe, but the second wave was a really lethal dose that caused incredible number of deaths (killing more people than WWI).

Though no-one really knows whether this will be the case with swine flu, I don’t think we should be taking any chances.

Therefore, even if you are healthy, I would suggest having the swine flu vaccine. Because you are not in the category typically affected badly by seasonal influenza, you probably do not need a double-dose vaccine- that choice is entirely up to you. If you are a health worker, it would be suggested that you have both.

Are there any risks from the swine flu vaccine? The answer is that the preliminary testing to date has not shown any major issues at all and has shown very

A. I agree that the question relating to health risks hasn’t really been answered yet. A recent survey published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggested no evidence of an increase in brain tumors with mobile phone use.

However, this clashes with two recent studies from Sweden showing acute problems such as headaches, asthma and concentration issues associated with the heavy use (more than one hour per day) of a mobile phone.

The second study showed a 250 per cent increase in brain tumors on the side the phone is used, in people using a mobile more than one hour a day over 10 years.

1 My advice is straightforward in a world where mobile phones are a ‘necessary evil’.

2 Try to use a speaker phone.

3 Avoid ear pieces (of any description) as these concentrate the electromagnetic radiation.

4 Don’t regularly use your phone for more than an hour a day.

5 Keep conversation short.

6 Try-face-to-face communication-it actually improves relationships.

Your questions answered by those in the know...

A. First, remove the word ‘homework’ from your vocabulary and replace it with study time. This will eliminate the problem of your child saying, ‘I don’t have any homework.’ Study time is about studying, even if she/he doesn’t have homework.

Next, establish a study routine. Make it the same time every day.

Then keep it predictable and simple. For example, you could give a five-minute reminder that study time is approaching, bringing their current activity to an end. It’s your job to show your child how to get organized and teach time-management skills. Show them how to prioritize by importance and due date. Teach them how to create an agenda each time they sit down to study.

My boyfriend has female friends. It makes me feel insecure. Should I give him an ultimatum? Them or me?

You can’t force a person to change. It could be who you needs to deal with your own personal insecurities. Ask yourself, ‘Why do I feel threatened by this situation?’ If your boyfriend is spending a lot of time with his female friends and it’s impacting your relationship then you have a legitimate concern that needs to be discussed.

Express your point of view in a calm and logical way. Talk to him about how the issue is affecting you and the relationship. Work out ways you can improve your relationship like focusing on the positives, rather than the negatives in your relationship.

My partner insults me and goes verbally ballistic for very little cause. I feel as if I’m walking on eggshells. What’s the best way to respond?

A. Let your partner know how hurtful his words are and that his behaviour is unacceptable.

Set boundaries on what you will and will not accept from him.

Do not engage your partner. If your partner becomes angry stay calm, walk away and don’t give him what he wants –a reaction.

If the verbal abuse escalates and becomes physical abuse you need to leave. Your safety is far more important than this relationship. It’s advisable to seek counseling.

City Vibe: Magic Tattoo

The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos.

Name: Ky Chea Age: 29 Nationality: Khmer Occupation: Community Development Worker Current City: Sydney

1. What do you know about magic tattoo in Cambodia?

I guess it is like a normal Tatoo, which is perminently picture on the skin.

2. Which style of tattoo would you like best for yourself ?

I like a bit of unique picture which may reflect to the meaning of energetic, young and sexy. lol. Maybe razor around the bicep muscle...

Name: Dara Ea Age: 22 Nationality: Khmer Occupation: NGO Employee Current City: Phnom Penh

1. What do you know about magic tattoo in Cambodia?

Khmer people who believe in mixed religions think those tattoos bring great power or energy i.e A man with this all-I-see-is-aspiral “magic tattoo” on his arm, believes it makes his punches would deal great damage/power to the target. I wonder why he wouldn’t use it in a boxing tournament.

2. Which style of tattoo would you like best for yourself ?

If I ever get a tattoo on my body (which I think it looks cool by the way), it would be of some text/script on my inner-forearm.

Or I can take it to another level by filling my whole back with a picture of a wolf howling to the red shining moon with its front feet on a rock, and to its side, stand some dark-greenish bamboos. And the sky is also in dark red.

Name: Sopheak Chheng Age: 24 Occupation: Photographer, Webmaster and College Student in Philosophy Current City: Sisophon 1. What do you know about magic tattoo in Cambodia?

I think they mark it on their body for protection and asking for the spirit of their ancestor to protect everywhere they go. Having the tattoo on their body means they feels safe and more confident to do anything they want.

2. Which style of tattoo would you like best for yourself ?

I would love to have the word “Khmer” written in Khmer script on my left chest or my arm.

Name: Bunheng Lim Age: 24 Nationality: Cambodian Occupation: Student Current City: Clemson

1. What do you know about magic tattoo in Cambodia?

I think most military or army and old fork at countryside they believed that magic is like a charm that can protect them from harm. And they are old ancient letter of Khmer ( Bali Sangsakrith) in blue ink. I believed a lot high class commander have it.

2. Which style of tattoo would you like best for yourself ?

If I prefer would be Tiger it represent power and strong, but I prefer none. Look better without it.
